SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A 13-year-old San Ysidro girl's act of kindness has helped inspire others to give.Sahara Rodriguez read an article and how a young boy in Tijuana, Alexis, was trading his toys for food after his mother lost her job during the pandemic. Rodriguez wanted to help. She asked her mother to begin collecting food. They went to neighbors and friends to gather what they could, then traveled across the border to deliver the food to Alexis family."I’m very proud of her," said her mother, Dafne Noguez. "She’s a very shy girl and I’m very surprised that she’s been coming out of her shell and able to help a lot of people.” Noguez credits Sahara's involvement with the Girl Scouts for helping her daughter develop more confidence and leadership skills."It’s just so inspiring to see how she’s growing in that sense," said Alexandra Delgado of Girl Scouts San Diego, who has worked with Sahara over the years. "She did that step herself. Nobody asked her to do it. She just felt it was right.”Since that first donation, Sahara has continued collecting food donations to take to Tijuana. Alexis' family is now back on its feet, and Alexis is helping Sahara find other families more in need of the aid. "As a Girl Scout, it’s good to help people and we need to be caring about other people," Sahara said.In addition to collecting donations to deliver across the border, Sahara also works to help Rady Children's Hospital and is now working on a project to contribute to her community in San Ysidro. 1515

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - A company with offices in Oceanside released data Friday supporting its drug remdesivir is helping severely ill COVID-19 patients recover.The data released by Gilead, who produces remdesivir, states there was a 62% reduction in risk of death, compared to patients who weren't given the drug, and 74% of remdesivir treated patients recovered by Day 14.Remdesivir was originally created to fight Ebola, a similar virus to COVID-19.Troy Kahle was diagnosed with COVID-19 and said he's alive today because of Kaiser Permanente doctors, nurses and remdesivir.He said he was admitted to the hospital March 14, and ended up in a coma for 12 days."The first memory I have is waking up with my hands strapped to the gurney and a tube down my throat," Kahle said he thought he was going to die and wishes no one to face what still haunts him.Friday he celebrated three months out of the hospital as a survivor of COVID-19.While the drug has helped people like Kahle, medical experts are wary."It's not a magic bullet," Molecular Biology Professor at UC San Diego Stephen Hedrick, PhD. said.He said the drug slows down the virus."It's going to decrease the severity of the symptoms of the viral infection, but it doesn't necessarily make you well overnight," he said comparing it to an antibiotic.This is because while the drug works to stop the virus from replicating, COVID-19 can counter it, "Coronaviruses, almost uniquely among RNA viruses, have an error correction capability."Survivors like Kahle, while thankful to be out of the hospital, aren't back to 100%."I get easily winded if I overexert myself, occasionally I'll get dizzy for no reason, I have foot pain when I wake up," Kahle said.Hedrick said he is optimistic, adding the drug is a good jumping off point to create a drug more suited to coronavirus, or a vaccine.In the mean-time both Kahle and Hedrick ask that we all wear our masks."If we all work together we can get to the other side of this pandemic," Kahle said.Gilead said they are ramping up supplies, "we have increased supply nearly 40-fold since January and our goal is to produce more than 2 million treatment courses by year-end and several million in 2021, if required."Gilead cautions that rigorous clinical trials are needed to confirm the latest data. 2303

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Two new supervisors along with four other county officials, including the district attorney, were sworn in Monday.With family members looking on, Supervisors Jim Desmond and Nathan Fletcher, Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk Ernest Dronenburg, Sheriff Bill Gore, Treasurer/Tax Collector Dan McAllister and District Attorney Summer Stephan took an oath to both the U.S. and state constitutions.Fletcher, who succeeds Ron Roberts, is the second Democrat to serve on the technically nonpartisan Board of Supervisors in roughly three decades.He defeated Republican Bonnie Dumanis in the Nov. 6 election to represent the Fourth District, which includes parts of central and northern San Diego proper from downtown to La Jolla.Desmond, former Republican mayor of San Marcos, defeated Democrat Michelle Gomez, a legislative analyst. He succeeds Bill Horn in representing north San Diego County, including Carlsbad, Oceanside, Fallbrook and Borrego Springs.Gore, Stephan, Dronenburg and Dan McAllister all won outright in the June primary, with more than 50 percent of the vote collected by all four incumbents.After being sworn in, each official gave a short speech. Fletcher said it's a tremendous honor to be able to serve the public, and he takes that obligation very seriously. He said change can be difficult and ``push us outside of our comfort zone,'' but can also mean new insight, benefiting policy and governance.Whatever differences board members have, ``we must always strive to find agreement,'' Fletcher said. While principled dissent is OK, Fletcher said he'll work tirelessly to advance the principles of the county motto: ``the noblest motive is the public good.''``I believe in government as an institution of good, where opportunity is open to all,'' Fletcher said. ``Today, let's get to work.''Desmond said he was ``honored and overwhelmed'' to join the board and thousands of county employees.``I feel today like I've been given a great gift: the opportunity to make positive changes that will affect the county's 3 million voters,'' Desmond said.He said he'll focus on ensuring his district gets the roads, parks and services that resides need, while also concentrating on homelessness, public safety, water access and other infrastructure issues.Desmond said he will support workforce, affordable and veterans' housing, but the county must address traffic congestion issues by improving highways.``Trolleys and (public) transit won't fix all of our needs in San Diego County,'' he said.Gore said his department has worked to make the county one of the safest in the nation, but joked that he didn't sound like former President George W. Bush when he declared ``mission accomplished'' on the Iraq war.``There is still more work to do, Gore said, adding that the county has lowered the recidivism rate to 33 percent, doubled the number of mental health clinicians in its jails, increased beds, and added psychological training and programs to help inmates once they get out.He also said the Sheriff's Department hopes to have a fully accredited mental health care program by 2020 and is planning to build a tunnel connecting the downtown central jail to new courthouse over the next two years.Gore praised colleagues such as Undersheriff Michael Barnett and Chief Administrative Officer Helen Robbins-Meyer for their efforts. He also credited the San Diego Police Department and other law enforcement agencies for their collaboration on serious public safety issues.Stephan said she is grateful for her team and community ``for the mission we're putting forth, the mission of respect and equal treatment for everybody.''Stephan mentioned how her life was shaped by her grandmother, who lived through the Armenian genocide early in the 20th century and traveled to America to find a home.Stephan said her office is going to ``push back the (against) bullies'' and stand up for the vulnerable, including seniors and school children.To avoid a ``one size fits all'' justice system, she and her colleagues created a special position for criminal justice and mental health reform, while also protecting community safety.Stephan said her office is close to launching program within the coming year that will help young people be better informed about substance abuse and deceptive social media practices.Dronenburg said his office has re-opened two offices in the county, improved mass-appraisal techniques and shortened the backlog for appraisals, saving the county million.He said the department has improved both customer and online service, and hired a taxpayers' rights advocate.Dronenburg credited his colleagues for the positive changes.``We are no longer faceless bureaucrats,'' Dronenburg said, adding the department has received national and state recognition for the use of technology.``I've been on the ballot 18 times and won 18 elections,'' he added. ``I want thank the voters -- they're the ones who put me here.''McAllister said the county expects to collect .5 billion in taxes from residents this year. He noted that the county now collects 60 percent of taxes electronically, saving residents an estimated 0,000 in postage.``We currently assist 210 public agencies in San Diego County, and last fiscal year, we reached a record high of .6 billion in our AAA-rated investment pool, making it the second largest pool in the state for the third investment pool, making it the second largest pool in the state for the third year in a row,'' McAllister said.He said the county hopes to have a 75 percent electronic collection rate by 2023.McAllister cited other accomplishments, including an email reminder program for taxpayers, high annual collection rates and education symposiums that have won national acclaim. 5771

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Voters will decide whether a controversial North County housing development goes forward, the Board of Supervisors decided Tuesday.After a public hearing, the board voted 4-0 -- Ron Roberts was absent -- to place the Newland Sierra project on the March 3, 2020, ballot. The board's action came two months after a Sept. 26 vote amending several provisions in the county general plan that allowed for Newland Communities to build in the Miriam Mountains area, directly west of Interstate 15 and near the cities of Escondido, San Marcos and Vista. The proposed development is in an area noted for wildlife and a tranquil ambience. RELATED: Signatures submitted to put Newland Sierra project in front of votersNewland wants to build 2,135 homes on the 1,985-acre site. The development would also feature 81,000 square feet of commercial space, a six-acre school site, 35.87 acres of public and private parks, 19.2 miles of multi- use community trails, an equestrian staging area and 1,209 acres of open space. The project would include numerous eco-friendly features, including solar panels, electric-vehicle charging stations, xeriscaping and gray-water systems, according to the developers. Opponents gathered roughly 117,000 signatures and presented their petition to the county. RELATED: County approves North County housing developmentSupervisor Dianne Jacob -- who was not at the Sept. 26 meeting -- said the public will vote on whether the board made the right decision on Newland Sierra and ``sound off on the general plan and a project in a high-fire zone, with 2,000 homes over what the general plan allows.'' Board Chairwoman Kristin Gaspar said putting the Newland Sierra development on the ballot ``lets voters do their homework.'' She said the signature-gathering campaign was impressive, adding that while out in some locations, ``I could barely get a leg out of my vehicle door before encountering signature gatherers, although some were not as well-informed.'' Rita Brandin, senior vice president and development director of Newland Communities, told the supervisors the company is confident that voters ``will embrace the plan when they hear the truth and many benefits.'' RELATED: Communities planned for high risk fire zones in San Diego CountyShe said that 80 percent of Newland Sierra homes would be attainable to working families, and that her company plans to invest 5 million in the community. Development opponents earlier in the meeting urged the supervisors to approve a referendum. Many reiterated concerns associated with Newland Sierra, including wildfire dangers, noise pollution, limited water supply, school overcrowding and greater traffic congestion. Tony Eason, who lives in the Deer Springs Oaks mobile home park in San Marcos, said an overwhelming majority of area residents do not want the Newland Sierra project, describing it as yet another attempt to destroy the Merriam Mountains. 2949
