Thrift Store Opens Clearance Center

Goodwill Industries of San Diego County is opening a Clearance Center in Escondido. This will be the first of its kind here.  

The idea is to give items that don't sell in the regular retail thrift stores one last chance to find a home. It is also a place to sell items that may not be in good enough condition to go into a store.

Darlene Cossio with Goodwill said some of the items such as cabinets, chairs and tables might be good for the DIY, or Do It Yourself crowd to repair. Most just have cosmetic damage that could be fixed.

Cossio said this Clearance Center may not attract your normal thrift store shopper.

"It's kind of more of your yard sale customer," she said.

Many of the housewares, toys and similar items still have the price sticker from the previous Goodwill store. In the Clearance Center the items are sold at half the sticker price.  Most of the items are coming from Goodwill locations in the North County area.

Clothes are also deeply discounted but some may need work.

"It might have a small hole or be missing a button," said Cossio.

The Clearance Center is located at 1996 Don Lee Place in Escondido.  It opens on January 18 at 10 a.m. and is open seven days a week.

Items that are not sold at the Clearance Center are sold in bulk at auction.

Should the Chargers Leave Their Name in San Diego?

0

NBC 7's Derek Togerson takes a look at a question on the minds of Chargers fans in this commentary

There are plenty of people upset about the Chargers moving to Los Angeles. In fact as the realization that the team is, indeed, heading north, several fans have voiced their desire to somehow find a way to keep the logo and name “Chargers” in San Diego.

There is such a hatred of Los Angeles-area franchises, from the years the Raiders were there and the long history of battles between the Padres and Dodgers, that people who grew up loving the Bolts simply don’t want to see the Chargers name next to the words “Los Angeles.”

In fact folks have even inquired as to whether or not the team can sue the Chargers and/or Chairman Dean Spanos to keep the name in San Diego when the team leaves for L.A. In a Twitter poll asking if Bolts fans would support a lawsuit against the team to keep the Chargers name and logo in San Diego, forcing them to rebrand themselves in L.A., 73% of the 1,162 people who voted said yes they would.

Of course that begs the question of whether or not there is a legal avenue to force the Spanos family to do that. Several fans have already started looking in to the possibility. Speaking of fans, the ones in Los Angeles have not been terribly receptive to the thought of the Chargers heading to their town, either.

Several media members and marketing experts have said it would be in the team’s best interest to change its name and start fresh in its new home market. However, that does not look like it’s going to happen.

“We are listening to our fans,” said Chargers President of Business Operations A.G. Spanos. “We want to hear from them. That’s the only way we are going to win the hearts and minds here. But that is not on the table. We want to be the Chargers.”

I believe it was Mick Jagger who said “You can’t always get what you want but if you try sometimes you might find you get what you need.”

The owners of the newest football team in Los Angeles might not want to change to name but they need to, for their sake and to show just one shred of respect to the fans they abandoned in San Diego.

Mother of 2 Looking for Fresh Start Loses Everything in Fire

0
0

A mother of two who moved to San Diego days ago for a fresh start lost nearly all her possessions - and her beloved six-month-old puppy - in a devastating Oceanside condominium fire. 

On Sunday, Nitra Jones went to dinner with a friend to celebrate her moving into her new condo, located on the 5600 block of Boot Way in Oceanside. 

When Jones came back, she tried to open the door to her place and was greeted by a cloud of smoke as flames burst out from the house. 

The fire appears to have started on the bottom floor and quickly traveled upstairs. Investigators are still trying to figure out which room the fire started in, and how the fire started.

The blaze caused the second floor to partially collapse onto the first floor. The flames spread to the two units next to Jones' condo. 

Firefighters could not save Jones' puppy, Captain. 

"I was for calling for Captain, and he never came, and they told me that they found him on the second floor, and I asked to see him and they told me it wasn't a good idea," Jones said, in tears.

Though she lost nearly everything she owns, Jones said the biggest loss was her best friend, Captain. 

"So sad. My puppy is the worst thing," Jones said, crying. "Everything else, it doesn’t matter, but he was my puppy and I had him since he was a baby and he didn’t deserve to go like this and I feel so bad."

Jones had just rented the condo and moved in the day before the fire. 

"My mom is devastated," said Mariano Cuellar, her 19-year-old son, on Sunday. "She lost all of the furniture she recently just bought. She moved cross country to stay with her kids and the worse thing that could happen, happened tonight."

Jones had not even slept in her new place yet - she had just moved all her clothes, belongings and new furniture in when she decided to go out to dinner with a friend to celebrate. 

Based on the damage to her home, investigators say the fire was most likely burning without detection for a period of time before anyone became aware.

As Jones walked through the place Monday, she was brought to tears by the loss of her beloved dog and her new belongings - her fresh start after living in Virginia for six months. 

"I just ask God, what is the plan for me?" Jones said. 

It is unclear at this time how the fire started. An investigation is ongoing. No other information was immediately available.

If you wish to donate to the family, you can visit their GoFundMe page.

Eviction Order May Have Sparked Spring Valley Triple Killing

0
0

Three victims killed in a triple Spring Valley shooting had troubled relationships with each other, according to neighbors and friends. 

The shooting happened Friday when a nearby resident called to report some type of assault at an apartment located on the 1100 block of Jamacha Lane in Spring Valley. 

Deputies first found one man wounded inside the apartment and rushed him to a hospital, where he later died. When authorities searched for additional victims, they made a gruesome discovery: two more victims – a man and woman – were dead inside.

Friends and neighbors identified one man killed in the shooting as Terry Andrada, the landlord of the apartment complex. His roommate and his roommate's ex-boyfriend were also involved in the shootout. His roommate and his roommate's ex-boyfriend were also involved in the shootout. 

Family members and friends said Andrada was a wonderful landlord and often drove kids in the neighborhood to school. Andrada often helped his tenants, many of them family members, take out the trash. 

Neighbors said Andrada recently allowed Tomomi Takahashi to move into an extra room in his apartment. But neighbors had problems with TOmomi's ex-boyfriend, who goes by the name of Yoshi Yo. 

A source close to the homicide investigation said Andrada told Tomimi and her ex-boyfriend on Thursday - the night before the shooting - that they had three days to vacate the apartment. 

Friends suspect that may have been a motive in the shooting. 

SDSO Lt. Kenn Nelson previously said that at this point, it is unclear if the deaths were part of a murder-suicide or perhaps the result of a shootout between the three people inside the apartment. It is unclear who shot first or last. 

Homicide detectives are investigating; Nelson said Friday there were no outstanding suspects in the deadly shootings. Anyone with information on the case can contact SDSO homicide detectives at (858) 974-2321 or (858) 565-2000, or call Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

Drug Tunnels Left Unfilled on Mexico's Side of the Border

0
0

When border officials find drug tunnels that lead to the U.S.,  they are filled with cement and sealed off.

But that doesn’t necessarily seal off their future use.

According to a report by the Los Angeles Times, the tunnels aren’t completely closed off across the border in Mexico. While the entry is sealed, the rest of the tunnel is left alone.

Over the last decade, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has spent roughly $9 million to block off the entry points of illegal tunnels.

The Mexican government says it lacks to funds to do the same.

This allows drug cartels to dig up a new path within the tunnel and re-direct a passageway to the U.S.

Since some of these sophisticated tunnels have lighting, ventilation and even a rail system, it makes them even more attractive for drug cartels because the infrastructure is mostly installed.

“Until 2007, the U.S. didn't fill in the tunnels either,” said Ev Meade, Director of the University of San Diego’s Trans-border Institute. “We just capped the entry points and left them alone and Mexico basically did the same."

Back in November 2010, an underground tunnel that led to a warehouse in Otay Mesa was discovered by border officials. The 600-yard tunnel ran from Mexico to the U.S.

It was filled up on the U.S. side, but in 2014 authorities discovered that drug traffickers had dug up a new path from inside.

“There’s so much talk about the border wall," Meade said. “It misses all the other ways in which people and goods get into the U.S. without permission. The tunnels are one of them, there’s also airports and sea port entries.”

Complicating things even further is the political tension between the U.S. and Mexico.

President-elect Donald Trump has promised to build a wall along our southern border to stop illegal immigration and drug trafficking. But tons of drugs have been trafficked into the U.S. through border tunnels.

We spend $18 to $20 billion a year,” Meade said. “That’s more than all the rest of federal law enforcement combined. That’s excluding the money we spend on the drug war in Mexico. Depending on how you count it, it’s another billion dollars or so a year. Through collaboration, they’ve been able to arrest the heads of the most important drug cartels in Mexico, the problem is that hasn't done much to go after the underlying business.”

Hundreds March in Downtown San Diego to Commemorate MLK Day

0
0

Hundreds of people gathered at City Hall in Downtown San Diego to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. during a march and a rally on Monday.

The group, organized by the National Action Network (NAN), also included members of organized labor and civil rights activists. 

It was focused on a wide-range of social issues, organizers said.

“We’re very concerned about racial profiling by the police. We’re concerned about the homeless people, the way they’re being treated as that they are being kicked away from where they are trying to sleep and establish themselves," said Christina Imhoof from Women Occupied San Diego.

But the march also had a strong focus on the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump and how it may impact civil rights.

NBC 7 spoke to teacher Kesha Borden who said she believes the issues Dr. King fought for in his day are still relevant.

“Today are the things that Martin Luther King marched for 50 years ago. We’re still fighting for worker’s rights, women’s rights, homelessness, poverty, police brutality. We’re fighting for the same things," said Borden.

Some marchers carried signs reading "Black Lives Matter" while others marched for a $15 minimum wage.

Led by Reverend Shane Harris, a group of marchers chanted, "We shall not be moved."

At the end of the march, organizers posted a list of 10-demands on the front door of City Hall that included dropping charges against Robert Branch and redirecting city resources from sport complexes to housing.

Local Navy Sailor's Belongings Stolen While on Deployment

A local business is stepping into help a Navy sailor whose belongings were stolen while he is on deployment.

Petty Officer Third Class Jacob Weaver was deployed on USS Carl Vinson a few weeks ago.

In his absence, all of his things left inside an SUV in front of his friend's home in Coronado were stolen.

The morning Weaver was deployed, his friend found the SUV's window smashed and everything was gone.

But Weaver is unaware of the theft because the friend has not been able to reach him yet.

Toyota of El Cajon heard about the robbery and offered to fix the vehicle's window for free.

"We have a lot of military customers that come to us, and from time to time they're down and out so we never hesitate to step up to help with a discount or any other thing we can do," said Jeremy Cadwell, of Toyota of El Cajon.

A online fundraiser has also been set up to help raise money to replace the stolen belongings.

Trump Takes Aim at Automakers in Germany, Canada

Already taking aim at Mexico, President-elect Donald Trump is now warning he might enact a 35 percent "border tax" on Canadian and German automobile imports, NBC News reported.

"You can build cars for the United States, but for every car that comes to the USA, you will pay 35 percent tax," Trump told the German newspaper Bild, in an interview published Monday.

"In the long term, the United States would be shooting itself in the foot by imposing tariffs or other trade barriers," said Matthias Wissmann, president of the German automotive industry association VDA.

Trump specifically focused on BMW, noting that it is building a plant in Mexico that would produce vehicles for the U.S. market. But BMW would not be alone among German automakers. Audi last year opened a Mexican plant that is now the sole global source for the newly redesigned Q5 sport-utility vehicle. And Mercedes-Benz is preparing to set up a joint venture with Nissan's Infiniti brand in the Mexican city of Aguascalientes, where it will produce some of its new entry-luxury models.

Why Trump's Attack on John Lewis Resonated

0
0

The timing was particularly unfortunate: As Americans prepared to honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., President-elect Donald Trump tore into one of the civil rights movement's most iconic figures.

Trump — who drew only 8% of the black vote in the general election last November — appeared to hit a new low in his already fraught relationship with the black community, NBC News reported.

"Trump's attack on John Lewis is particularly infuriating because it shows an ignorance of history, and an utter disdain for a man who risked his life for the greater good, to make America better," said writer and commentator David A. Love. "Like Dr. [Martin Luther King, Jr.,] this man is one of our role models."

On Monday, Trump met Martin Luther King III to commemorate the holiday honoring the man's father. But following a political career that began with a discredited crusade to question the first African-American president's citizenship, a presidential campaign where he broadly depicting black communities as imperiled and hopeless, and a presidential transition which has featured only one African-American cabinet nominee (Dr. Ben Carson), Trump may have a lot more work to do to find common ground with the black community.

Local Family Claims Sister was a Murder Victim

0
0

A local family said they believe their sister is the woman who was found on the side of a road in the North County last week.

The woman's body was found on Thursday in unincorporated Escondido but the victim's name has not been released.

But the family of 23-year-old Antonia Herrera told NBC 7 on Monday, they are certain that their loving sister and cousin is the victim.

“She was a beautiful person. She was so lively and energetic, so happy. She loved to dance, she loved to entertain and she loved to make friends. She has millions of friends everywhere from every zip code,” said Antonia's sister, Tinamarie Herrera.

Antonia was one of seven siblings, the family said. She was originally from Chula Vista but spent time in transitional group foster homes all over San Diego, most recently living in one in the San Marcos area.

According to her family, Antonia had recently told them she was scared for her life and also made comments that she thought a person was going to kill her over an item she accidentally took.

On Thursday, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department (SDSO) was called out for a report of a woman's body found on an embankment off Champagne Boulevard.

Detectives said, based on the investigation so far, it doesn't seem like the woman was killed in the area where her body was found. They also don't know how long the body was there.

As for Antonia's family, they just hope the person responsible for possibly doing harm to their sister is found.

“She was a person. She was not a piece of trash. She was somebody's daughter, somebody's sister, somebody's cousin and did not deserve to be thrown out like that. We have no answers,” said her cousin, Nicole Leon.

Investigators told NBC 7 that more information on this case should be released Tuesday, including the woman's name.

Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest.

Police Investigating Three Gas Station Robberies

Three different gas stations in San Diego were robbed in the span of 90 minutes on Monday night, the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) confirmed.

The first robbery was reported at approximately 7:30 p.m. in the 2400 block of F Street. The second came just half an hour later at a gas station in the 1600 block of First Avenue. The last robbery occurred just after 9 p.m. at a Shell Station on Division Street.

According to police, in all three robberies, the suspect demanded money at gunpoint.

At one of the gas stations, the clerk slammed the register closed and the suspect ran away.

All three stations are located near freeways, making for a quick getaway.

The suspect is described to be in his late 30s or early 40s, approximately 5-feet 6-inches with a thin build. He was armed with a handgun.

Police said the suspect got into the passenger seat of a getaway vehicle, leading them to believe that he had an accomplice in the robberies.

The vehicle is described to be a forest green 2000 Ford Ranger with an extra cab, with a left tail light that was not working.

He was linked to all three robberies through surveillance video, police said.


GM to Invest $1B, Add 1,000 Jobs in US: Sources

General Motors, one of several automakers criticized for building vehicles in Mexico and shipping them to the U.S., plans to add more than a thousand jobs in the U.S., according to sources who shared the plans with CNBC.

The jobs are part of a $1 billion investment the automaker is making into GM facilities in the U.S. Sources told CNBC the plan for more jobs has been in the works for "some time."

"These are investments and decisions that are good for the business and have been in the works for some time," a GM spokesperson told NBC News, but the announcement shows the automaker is becoming more vocal in publicizing how many Americans it employs.

Despite employing more than 50,000 hourly workers in the U.S., the automaker has been criticized by President-elect Trump for importing Chevy Cruze hatchbacks from an assembly plant in Mexico.

New Polls Find Most Americans Sour on Trump's Transition

0
0

New polling shows that the majority of Americans disapprove of the way President-elect Donald Trump is handling his transition into power, with less than a week to go until his inauguration.

Just 40 percent of respondents approve of how Trump is handling his transition, according to two polls released Tuesday. The CNN/ORC poll found that 52 percent disapprove, while the Washington Post/ABC put that mark at 54 percent. 

A third poll released last week from Gallup had similar results, finding Trump has a 51 percent disapproval rating and a 44 percent approval rating for how his presidential transition has been handled. 

Trump responded to the polling data Tuesday morning in a tweet, calling them as rigged as he claimed the polls were against him ahead of the presidential election.

"The same people who did the phony election polls, and were so wrong, are now doing approval rating polls. They are rigged just like before," Trump said.

Most polling ahead of the presidential election gave Democrat Hillary Clinton an advantage of several points. While she lost the election by 72 electoral votes, she won the popular vote by more than two percent. 

Trump's transition approval is falling, according to two of the three polls, which have a margin of sampling error between 3 and 4 percent.

The CNN/ORC poll found slightly more people approved of how he is handling the transition in November, by 46 to 45 percent. Gallup found a toss-up in December, with 48 percent approving and disapproving of how he was handling the transition. 

Outgoing president Barack Obama had much higher approval ratings than Trump in polls asking the same question in the first weeks of 2009: 80 percent or higher in all three polls. 

But there is good news for Trump in the polling data as well. While 54 percent of people had an unfavorable impression of Trump, compared to 40 percent favorable, in the Washington Post/ABC poll, 59 percent think he'll do a good or excellent job creating jobs in America. He's also in the green when asked about how he'll do helping the middle class, handling the budget deficit and dealing with the threat of terrorism.

San Diego Police have arrested a man accused of attacking a North Park auto shop worker with a hammer, leaving the victim in critical condition.

Louis Cedarholm, 29, was booked in the county jail Monday night on four felony counts including attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.

Surveillance video captured the attack at Jack's Mufflers on University Avenue around 8:30 p.m. Sunday.

In the video, the suspect produced a hammer and struck the victim in the head seven times, until he collapsed on the floor.

After the initial attack, the suspect went into the office for less than a minute but did not take anything, SDPD said.

Then, the suspect walked away westbound on the 2100 block of University Avenue, police said.

A passerby later saw the injured victim and alerted the authorities. The victim was transported to a nearby hospital.

The suspect in the video has been identified by police as Cedarholm.

Investigators say the attack appears to be random.

Police say the victim suffered brain bleeding, a skull fracture, multiple facial fractures, the possible loss of his left eye, multiple facial lacerations and missing teeth.

His condition was described by doctors as critical but not life-threatening.
