  Fire Capt. Thanh Nguyen said all personnel from inside the building were evacuated due to the severity of the flames.

• Advocates push for mandatory retrofitting of existing homes in fire zones

  04-05-2025 17:30 via ocregister.com
  
  For years, fire prevention groups have pushed residents to harden homes in wildfire-prone areas.
  With the frequency and severity of such blazes on the rise, people need to replace old vents, roofs and windows with upgrades that protect their home against a whirlwind of heat and embers during a conflagration, they say.
  Yet limited incentives exist to spur homeowners to take on the expense of such upgrades.
  Now, with the memory of Los Angeles County’s firestorms still fresh, public interest

• South and West school California in housing policy

  04-05-2025 17:00 via ocregister.com
  
  California lawmakers continue to fret about the state’s overly expensive housing market—something causing many renters and homeowners to be “cost burdened,” as the jargon puts it. Per the Public Policy Institute of California, “More than half of the state’s renters—and four in 10 mortgaged homeowners—spend 30% or more of their household income on housing.” We top the nation, but not in a good way.
  The Legislature has for years been nibbling a

• Trump wasn’t elected to raise prices

  04-05-2025 16:50 via ocregister.com
  
  Something is wrong when Democrats are getting excited about promoting abundance while the Republican president is telling parents they don’t really need to be buying so many toys for their kids.
  “Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know?,” said President Donald Trump during a Cabinet meeting this past week. “And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.”

• To the very special reader who takes the newspaper from my driveway

  To whoever is taking the Sunday newspaper from my driveway about once a month, we need to talk.
  I am home with a frightful flu, and it was raining today, so I dragged my weak self out of my new comfy bed, threw an old rain coat over my robe and trekked across the wet front lawn to retrieve my paper from the driveway. Only it was not there, again.
  I would never want to deprive anyone of the joy of reading a print newspaper, but here’s the problem: For 16 years, I have been clipping my Sunda

• San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies not culpable in death of schizophrenic inmate, judge rules

  04-05-2025 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  A federal judge has determined that two San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies were not culpable in the death of a suicidal schizophrenic woman who died after she suffocated herself at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.
  In a ruling Nov. 25 that was disclosed last week by the Sheriff’s Department, U.S. District Court Judge Jesus G. Bernal dismissed, with prejudice, a wrongful death lawsuit filed initially in August 2021 in Riverside by the father of 24-year-old Ch

  When my last day finally comes — hopefully, not until I’m 105 or so — I want to be in full control of my own death.

Ouch. Eek. No, no, no.

• 100 days of Trump only learning the hard way

  04-05-2025 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office have not exactly gone to plan. So many of the policies coming out of the White House should strike one as absurdities that are either blatantly illegal or obviously won’t work. That hasn’t stopped Trump from trying and, where most can simply reflect for a moment to learn that those policies are idiotic, he has had to learn the hard way by way of market backlash and over 200 lawsuits.

• Returning to workforce can be daunting and rewarding

  Sometimes in our lives, we need to take a break from working. This could be for caregiving, for mental well-being, for physical health, or for myriad other reasons.
  Several times over the course of my career as a financial advisor, I have recommended that clients reenter the workforce due to a projected shortfall in retirement income.
  The reasons for the shortfall will vary, but usually they are correlated with spending too much and not having enough money saved to maintain a person’s curr

• New tax cuts mostly favor the rich across states this year

  By Kevin Hardy, Stateline.org
  Missouri Republicans may take their tax-cutting efforts to new heights this year as lawmakers consider exempting profits from the sale of stocks, bonds and real estate from state income taxes.
  Part of a broader push to eliminate the state income tax altogether, legislation making its way through the Capitol would provide an unprecedented benefit to the wealthy by excluding capital gains, the long-term earnings from the sale of assets. If approved, tax experts say, t

• Buying an older vs. new home might not be the answer to unaffordable housing

  04-05-2025 12:00 via ocregister.com
  
  By Jeff Ostrowski, Bankrate.com
  Homes are acutely unaffordable, a reality that’s pushing stressed-out buyers to consider fixer-uppers. While older homes might offer bargains upfront, there’s a catch: Aging properties saddle owners with maintenance costs that squeeze budgets and test patience. Homebuyers need nearly $117,000 in household income to afford a home, so buying an older one that needs work isn’t necessarily an ideal solution.

  ANAHEIM — The way the Angels have been hitting, it seemed like it would take a shutout from their starting pitcher for them to snap a seven-game losing streak.
  They nearly got one from an unlikely source, soft-throwing right-hander Kyle Hendricks allowing one run and four hits over 7⅔ innings and the Angels busting out for four runs in the sixth inning of a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers in Angel Stadium.

• Clippers’ season ends with blowout loss to Nuggets in Game 7

  DENVER — The way the first-round series between the Clippers and the Denver Nuggets had gone, most expected the teams to produce a tight Game 7, if not another down-to-the-wire thriller.
  After a pressure-cooker performance in Game 6 at the Intuit Dome extended the series to the limit, the Clippers came up well short on Saturday at Ball Arena, losing 120-101 in a game that was far more lopsided than the final score indicated.

  ANAHEIM — Perry Minasian is correct when he says that “good teams, teams that have been playoff teams in the past, go through stretches” like the brutal whiff-a-thon the Angels have been mired in for three weeks.
  But it seemed like a false equivalence for the general manager to use San Diego’s recent four-game losing streak or Atlanta’s season-opening seven-game losing skid compared to the Angels’ recent struggles, as Minasian did this weekend.
