Two years after flooding at Bancroft Elementary, school district prepares for El Niño (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been more than two years since torrential rain flooded Bancroft Elementary School in Spring Valley. Valentina Solis was in transitional kindergarten then. Despite the sunny weather this Friday, the now-second grader vividly remembers when water flooded her campus. “I started to worry because I saw the rain going all over,” she said. “It was so rainy that I had to get picked up by my dad.” Her mom, Isabela Solis, said that moment had a lasting impact on both of them. “There’s never been a ti
Port of San Diego renames Cesar E. Chavez Park to Chicano Park on the Bay (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Board of Port Commissioners on Wednesday voted to rename Cesar E. Chavez Park in Barrio Logan to Chicano Park on the Bay.

East County residents concerned about county’s plans for battery storage projects (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While we all reap the benefits of green energy, a relative few in the backcountry bear the brunt of the costs. That’s where many solar and wind projects and battery storage facilities have been built, despite community pushback. For years, county officials have heard complaints from residents about the permitting process, fire risks and environmental impacts associated with these projects, which are known in the industry as battery energy storage systems (BESS).
