Children of the world can rest easy. The global pandemic won’t stop them from tracking Santa Claus’ progress as he delivers gifts around the globe on Christmas Eve.The North American Aerospace Defense Command has announced that NORAD will track Santa on Dec. 24, just as it has done for 65 years. But there will be some changes: Not every child will be able to get through to a volunteer at NORAD’s call center to check on Santa’s whereabouts, as they have in years before.Normally, 150-160 volunteers crowd into a conference room at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, taking two-hour shifts to answer the phones as eager children call to see if Santa and his sleigh have reached their rooftops. All together, 1,500 people over 20 hours have participated in the call center in the past, fielding more than 130,000 phone calls, beginning at 6 a.m. Eastern time on Christmas Eve.This year, due to safety restrictions forced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of volunteers has been drastically cut to what NORAD expects will be fewer than 10 people per shift.“We understand this is a time-honored tradition, and we know undoubtedly there is going to be some disappointment,” said NORAD spokesman Preston Schlachter. “But we’re trying to keep it safe for everyone involved.”So, some callers may be able to once again get through to a member of the military or other volunteer when they dial the NORAD Tracks Santa toll-free number, 1-877-Hi-NORAD. But others will get a recorded update on Santa’s current location.Schlachter said NORAD will largely be limiting volunteers to people who already work there and their immediate families. But that could be expanded a bit as the time gets closer. He said that this year volunteers will answer health questions and have their temperature checked when they arrive, and a cleaning crew will wipe down surfaces throughout the day. There will be wipes and other supplies available, and between shifts the entire calling area will be sanitized before the next group comes in.Faced with concerns about the virus, officials at NORAD have worked for weeks to figure out a way to ensure that the much-beloved tradition could go on.The military command has been fielding calls since 1955, when Air Force Col. Harry Shoup — the commander on duty at NORAD’s predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command — fielded a call from a child who dialed a misprinted telephone number in a newspaper department store ad, thinking she was calling Santa.A fast-thinking Shoup quickly assured his caller that he was. And the tradition began.Today, most early calls come from Japan and Europe, and as the day goes on the callers from the U.S. and Canada climb.Besides the call center, the NORAD Tracks Santa website — noradsanta.org — as well as social media pages, Amazon Alexa, Onstar and a new mobile app will still be available with up-to-the-minute details on Santa’s location. A social media team will operate from a separate conference room at the base.The tracking Santa apps will soon be available on Google Play and the Apple App Store. 3085

CHULA VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) -- As a plume of smoke from a 350-acre blaze spiraled over the South Bay on Thursday night, Chula Vista’s City Council leaders met to review a report that signals a potentially dark cloud in its future.Members of the city’s Growth Management Oversight Commission presented its 2018 compliance scorecard that assesses how well Chula Vista is prepared to face the anticipated rapid growth trend across the county's second-largest city.According to the GMOC’s report for 2018, four service topics are considered “not in compliance” with the city’s threshold and at risk of continuing to be non-compliant in the future: Libraries, Police [Priority 1], Police [Priority 2], and Traffic.GMOC chair Duaine Hooker emphasized that police staffing levels is a major concern.The report shows there is not enough police staffing to adequately respond to both emergency calls and urgent calls, as well as the volume of calls, thus leading to slower response times.“It’s been twenty-two years in a row,” Hooker said about the police department’s failure to meet the threshold. Hooker also warned that he isn’t very optimistic about its 5- to 12-year plan.“They [police staff] did not think they could [accommodate] the growth of the city, it’s not there yet," Hooker said. Hooker and members of the GMOC toured the police department and surveyed officers.Councilmember Stephen C. Padilla, representing District 3, offered the most critical commentary on the rapid growth issues the city is facing."We know we're going to grow, and we know that we're constrained financially," said Padilla."We also know a scary statistic, and that is even with all the money from Measure A and even with reasonable growth we are a long ways off from getting even close to staffing up our public safety to the level, particularly on the police side, that it's going to make an impact," said Padilla."I just think we need to acknowledge that out loud," he added. Measure A is the half-cent tax approved by voters in 2018 to secure funding for additional officers and firefighters, provide faster responses to 9-1-1 emergency calls, and increase police patrols. A plan is in place to hire 43 officers over the next 10 years. So far, nine officers have been sworn in this year. 12 more "sworn and civilian staff" are budgeted in 2020. The current pace falls short of the GMOC's threshold and is way off of the county average. To get to the county average of 1.29 police officers per 1,000 residents by 2023, Chula Vista will have to hire 148 more officers.Padilla recommended to adopt a qualitative method of measuring the city's progress alongside the current GMOC standards.Mayor Mary Casillas Salas followed up Padilla's comments by highlighting Chula Vista's public safety record -- Chula Vista is listed among the safest cities in the state."A look back at the way we have been measuring things, I think an important component of that is outcomes, not just throwing numbers out there but the actual outcomes and what it means to the quality of life for our community," Salas said.The city's "rate of growth is projected to continue or increase over the next five years," the GMOC reported, citing Chula Vista’s 2018 Residential Growth Forecast. TRAFFIC ALSO A PROBLEM ON THE WESTSIDEChula Vista's growth and congestion issues don't only affect the sprawling Eastlake and Otay Ranch areas. Councilmember Jill Galvez, representing District 2, used her time at the special meeting to push for a revitalization on the west side of town."Can we start to look at focusing on improving the infrastructure in northwest Chula Vista to make it safer and more attractive so that we can enjoy the experience of our city," Galvez said. "Our neighbors to our east are enjoying their fields and you don't see them walking around because they have trails set far back from where you typically drive.""Here, we're all kind of using the pavement and even the streets to ride our bikes," Galvez said.Councilmember Mike Diaz, representing District 4, sided with a recommendation made earlier in the meeting that the GMOC report should be heard before the city's budget review process."I'm not sure how much it's going to move the needle one way or the other, but I think we at least need to hear this before budget.""It's going to be many many months before we start talking about [the GMOC report] again, and maybe we forget about those, so I certainly like to see that."Watch the meeting 4480

CHULA VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) - There were heated moments Wednesday while a group was defending the Christopher Columbus statue at discovery park in Chula Vista.Chula Vista City Councilman John McCann, with members of the Knights of Columbus standing by his side, called for the statue to be left alone."You can't change history," he said. "We should be able to accept all groups, you can't lift one group by destroying another group.""We're here to oppose the removal of the statue," said Rene Trevino, a member of the Knights of Columbus.The statue, which has been in place for nearly three decades, has stirred up controversy in the past.Thursday the city's Human Relations Commission will vote on a resolution to not only remove the statue and change the name of discovery park, but to change Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day in Chula Vista.Last Columbus Day someone splashed red paint all over the statue, and before that someone plaque set in front of the statue was stolen."It's been a community family park and we've had opponents of Christopher Columbus use violence to vandalize and destroy the park multiple times, costing tax payers," said McCann.Many people have called the meaning behind the statue and the name of the park both painful and offensive.A woman in a car driving by the park Wednesday began shouting, "This is indigenous land, take that statue down!"She went on to say Christopher Columbus was just the beginning of an attempted assassination of Indigenous peoples.The topic caused people to clash at the park."You have these people trying to advocate for an idea that we're sick and tired of living under," said Rafael Bautista, who wants the statue removed.He was then confronted by a man who opposes the removal."What are you living under?" the man asked him. "What are you living under?"At one point Chula Vista Police officers arrived at the park, but things had settled down."Instead of trying to argue over things that happened over 500 years ago, we should be tackling today's issues," said McCann.Raeanne Herrera, a resident of Eastlake and part of the Jicarilla Apache Nation stopped by the park to offer her take."We can right the wrongs that have been done," she said. "That statue is the constant reminder of a beginning of a genocide. They tried, but they didn't."She went on to say change needs to start with education."Native American issues were never taught in school, what was I taught? Oh, that the pilgrims and Indians got together and shared a meal. That's an absolute lie, it was a celebration for a massacre that occurred," she explained.Both groups say they will continue effort to get their way, no matter what City of Chula Vista officials ultimately decide.If Thursday's resolution passes, it will head to the full city council for the final decision. 2818

CHULA VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) - The City of Chula Vista’s controversial Drag Queen Story Time is moving to a different branch to accommodate the number of registrants, city officials said Tuesday. The event, which was supposed to take place at the Otay Ranch library, will now be held at the Civic Center library on Sept. 10 at 4 p.m. “The Chula Vista Public Library welcomes everyone, and programming at the City’s three libraries includes and reflects the diverse communities the libraries serve,” city officials said in a news release. “Hosting drag queens to read and relate with children promotes reading and literacy and sends a positive message of acceptance and tolerance.” A protest against the event was held Thursday, as opponents said they were concerned it would sexually influence children. Chula Vista Police intervened twice between both sides of the issue. RELATED: Protesters clash over Chula Vista library's Drag Queen Story Time Drag Queen Story Time is sponsored in partnership with San Diego Pride and South Bay Alliance. Participants may sign up by calling 619-397-5740. 1098
