esidents are being asked to sign a petition on Ocean Beach’s Neighborhood Watch Facebook page to take action to “help to keep our sidewalks clean ensuring a healthier environment for everyone.” “One complaint that is often heard about the downtown area of Ocean Beach is how dirty, stained, and smelly the sidewalks are,” the online petition reads. “The OB Clean & Safe Program, a project of the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association, is looking to change that by applying for funding to provide bi-monthly cleanings of Newport Avenue sidewalks, in addition to installing additional trash bins along the street.

NEWS CAMPBELL CONTINUED FROM Page 1

As outlined in a memorandum of understanding between Campbell’s office, Unite Here Local 30 union, and Expedia Group representing short-term rental platforms, her new ordinance claims to reduce the volume of whole-home short-term rentals. It also would create a legal inventory for STRs along with new rules governing their operation, including 24/7 accountability by operators. “I remain unwavering that we should be enforcing the City’s municipal code that prohibits short-term rentals,” said LaCava. “However, the Wild West with rentals still plagues our City. The current situation is no longer tenable.” “Not being able to regulate short-term rentals has been a big public safety concern,” said District 7 Councilmember Raul Campillo. “Without regulations, the City cannot hold bad actors accountable.” “It’s been a years-long fight,” noted District 4 Councilmember Monica Montgomery-Steppe. “I agree we need regulations. My concerns are with the estimated costs and enforcing STR platform accountability.” “I can see the light at the end of the tunnel,” said District 6 Councilmember Chris Cate. “This

The new ordinance includes: • Capping whole home STRs at 1% of the City’s housing stock per the San Diego Planning Commission (based on SANDAG’s annual Demographic and Socioeconomic Housing estimates), which would equate to 5,400 today. • No limit on home-sharing STRs. • Allowing part-time STR operators to obtain a license at lower annual fees to accommodate high visitor events such as Comic-Con, Pride or December Nights. • Allowing STR owners a maximum of one license, per person. • Creating a detailed Good Neighbor Policy along with strict enforcement guidelines, a fine structure for violations, and a license revocation standard.

is our fifth public hearing at the council on this issue. Short-term rentals are part of our DNA as a City. It’s always been a part of us, and always will be.” “We can all agree this issue has been unresolved for far too long,” said District 8 Councilmember Vivian Moreno. “We all know short-term rentals are a major component of tourism. Given the demand for short-term rentals, it makes sense to regulate them. This ordinance before us is reasonable, and it’s worth giving it a try.” Beach residents, both for and against, reacted to the City Council’s decision on short-term rentals.

FRIDAY · February 26, 2021 THE PENINSULA BEACON

Andrea Schlageter, chair of Ocean Beach Planning Board, was displeased with the decision. “All of this language about ‘compromise’ and how this is a good compromise because no one is happy is disingenuous,” she said. “Public policy is not about compromise. Good public policy is about protecting the average person while striving for justice and incentivizing good behavior.” Added Schlageter: “Politics is about compromise and not caring about the opinions of the average persons. Politics is what got us this ordinance. Politics is why no community groups were brought to the table to negotiate directly with Airbnb. It’s a shame that a majority of the City Council is not dedicated to good public policy, just politics.” Jonah Mechanic, president of Share San Diego, representing short-term rental platforms, gave an official statement from that group. “Share San Diego supports Council President Campbell’s Good Neighbor STR ordinance, not because it is a big win for the local managers, but because it is a fair compromise that takes into consideration the concerns of both sides,” he said. “For opponents who have voiced concerns about party houses and the City’s housing crisis, this ordinance fully funds a robust 24/7 code enforcement program and would return thousands of homes to the market. Make no mistake,

capping the number of STRs based on a percent of the City’s total dwelling units, and instituting a license fee that will likely be the highest in the nation, is a major concession for STR owners.” Added Mechanic: “We are willing to accept these items because we recognize the ordinance is a compromise. What is most important to us is that the responsible STR owners and managers continue to operate and earn an income that supports their families. Many of our members are concerned they will not be able to obtain a license in a random lottery that includes restrictions on

whole-home rentals. “If the goal of the ordinance is to eliminate bad actors, then we suggest prioritizing licenses for responsible STR owners who can prove they have been good actors, have been paying TOT, and do not have outstanding code violations.” Another short-term rental opponent, Gary Wonacott of Mission Beach, gave his take on the City Council’s STR decision, which included a “carve-out” for Mission Beach, which has the highest number of coastal STRs, from the new ordinance.

Wanted: A local buyer for one of the oldest businesses in town. OB Hardware at 4871 Newport Ave. is on the auction block, and present co-owner Michael DeEmidio, who bought the business from the previous owners in 2018, is moving on. “After a lot of heavy-hearted consideration, my wife and I have decided to move out of California to be closer to family,” said DeEmidio. “We are reaching out to the community in an effort to find someone to whom we can pass the OB Hardware baton. Ideally, someone invested in the community who wants to care for this legacy and leave their mark. We will be relocating this fall, so it is pressing that any interested parties step up now.” DeEmedio and business partner Michael Grimes bought OB Hardware from Carl and Carolyn Weidetz, who’d owned the century-old Ocean Beach Paint and Hardware for half that time. The business, which opened in 1919, carries tools, gardening, plumbing and electrical supplies as well as paints.

IRISH PUB TO OPEN IN POINT LOMA A traditional Irish pub is being installed in the space that last housed Royale at 4204 Voltaire St. Long Story Irish Pub is being designed as a traditional Irish drinking house and aims to open by this spring. Royale closed last November after a three-year run. The new ownership group includes Kyle Schubert, Nathaniel Winnett, Jerod Meents and Joseph DeNigris. Schubert is a Sacramento bar and restaurant veteran who has founded multiple Irish pub concepts in the Sacramento area of California. Long Story will offer a menu of Irish-inspired eats like corned beer stuffed egg rolls, Reuben fries,

DeEmedio’s targeted June 1 as the date by which he needs to find a buyer for his hardware business. Though his plans have changed, he said he’s never regretted his experience as a beach-town retailer. “When I decided to jump in, they (Weidetzs) were going out of business,” he noted. “It was worth the time and effort. I left my corporate job and I don’t regret it. We’ve managed to rebuild the store.” Added DeEmidio of the store, “It’s in a much better position than it was when we took over, financially speaking. It’s more functional. We’ve got a lot of inventory. We’ve been here and the community loves it. We’ve got a lot of momentum. We’re hoping we can find someone to step in and kind of do what we’ve done.” DeEmedio said the ideal candidate to buy his hardware business would be “someone with a retail background and a good business sense. We would prefer someone from the community that kind of knows the store at least, knows what the community is about.” The hardware store owner said there are many advantages to owning a mom-and-pop in a beach town like OB, adding he’s tried, as

much as possible, to reciprocate the community’s goodwill. “People here know our employees will help them as soon as they get through the door,” he said. “It’s really a joy. I love spending time here. You come to work and learn a ton. And not just from the business side. I’ve learned the world of hardware, and it’s just invaluable for life.” DeEmedio talked about one big addition they’ve added in their three years of hardware store ownership. “Our whole backroom now is gardening,” he said. “And we’re not planning on scaling back on inventory. Gardening season is coming up and we’ve got a great garden section now.” Of his store inventory, DeEmidio said, “We carry everything from fasteners, screws and nails to plumbing, electrical and kitchen items. We do screen repairs. We make keys. We joke that, ‘We have a little bit of everything, but we don’t have a lot of anything.’ We’re really a one-stop shop.” Anyone interested in purchasing OB Hardware should contact broker Mitch McGinley at mitch@ fcbb.com or 404-272-9108.

corned beef tacos, a St. Patty Melt burger, Shepherds Pie, bangers and mash, and a full bar featuring Irish whiskey and beers.

February meeting. “We have a number of options available to us, and we’re being told this is what planning groups have to do to handle elections,” said Kenton. “Traditionally, they are held next month. During this unusual time, given that we now have vacancies on the board, I feel it’s more important for us to try to fill those vacancies, and to re-elect or continue those terms of those folks already on the board.” “It would not be a bad move to have our elections in six months while filling the vacant seats,” agreed board member Kurt Sullivan.

VACCINATION SITE APPROVED In February, Midway-Pacific Highway Community Plan Group opted to support City/County use of the former Sports Arena parking lot as a senior vaccination site. “If the Sports Arena can seat 15,000 people, it should be available for any vaccination operation,” said board member Kurt Sullivan. “I think it’s a win-win situation.” “I’m hoping that we can keep this conversation moving forward,” said Kenton. “It’s a good location, and it’s very central to the residents of District 2, Linda Vista and Old Town. There are plenty of folks that would welcome this.”

NEWS Point Loma woman helps seniors schedule vaccination appointments By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

A Liberty Station-based Realtor is helping local seniors set up their COVID vaccination appointments. “It’s hard enough for those of us who know their way around computers, but for elderly people who aren’t computer savvy, it’s even harder,” said Sylvia Lange of Coldwell Banker West at 2468 Historic Decatur. Lange helped several seniors at Clairemont Emmanuel Baptist Church sign up for vaccination

appointments. She has since posted on a Point Loma Next Door social media offering to assist seniors with facilitating appointments. “Even though vaccinations are available for their age groups, many seniors still don’t know how to navigate their computers to find out the information,” Lange said. “It was just breaking my heart.” Lange has been amazed by the positive reaction she’s gotten from those she’s helped. “Their gratitude was unbelievable,” she said. “You’d have thought

It’s been very rewarding to help them get appointments.” Lange pointed out many seniors face a double whammy in being fearful of the virus, and not being computer literate enough to be able to set up their own appointments online. “They just need help with the digital stuff,” Lange said. “It’s just too much for them.” The Realtor said she is not working for, or affiliated with, any

BUSINESS 6 New fried chicken spot in Ocean Beach has Hodad’s pedigree FRIDAY · February 26, 2021

THE PENINSULA BEACON

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

The co-owners of newly minted Chicken Headz in Ocean Beach are offshoots of another well-known eatery nearby: Hodad’s. Business duo Martin Robles and Bruno Elias of Chicken Headz at 5026 Newport Ave. both cut their teeth at Hodad’s, an iconic restaurant up the block. Elias worked there for 17 years. Robles for 10. “We all started out in the kitchen back in the day prepping, frying, and slowly moving our way up,” said Elias. “We’d been thinking about doing something on the side. Once the pandemic hit, it just motivated us to start looking into the ideas that we had. Fried chicken was definitely one of them.” “We all started out in the back learning all aspects of the business,” noted Robles adding, “It’s not life or death. “It’s lunch and dinner.” The space Chicken Headz inhabits was previously a Mexican grill, Livingston’s, attached to Sunshine Company next door which became available last year. “We just felt it was time to take that gamble,” said Robles. “It was talk about it – or be about it.” “We knew going into it that this was going to be a take-out place only, so the pandemic didn’t really affect us,” pointed out Elias. “It’s counter service with items on the menu that are geared toward beach eats, like fried chicken

Caricature artists draw on success in Ocean Beach Caricature Party Where: 4967 Newport Ave. Info: aphilby@gmail.com, 619-895-1920.

Saemee Yoon and Aaron Philby in their shop.

By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Husband-and-wife team Aaron Philby and Saemee Yoon have spent the past year in Ocean Beach plying their specialized, personalized art form and trade: caricature drawing. “I’ve just always loved drawing faces and cartoons,” said Philby, an art school grad who has set up shop in a tucked-away space at 4967 Newport Ave. “Art has always been my passion. And caricature has really pulled me in and kept my interest.” Added Philby of his craft, “Every single face is a different, artistic experience, the expressive things about people’s faces, and then seeing someone’s reaction (to their caricature). You can see them resonating with those same things you saw in their face.” A caricature is a rendered image showing the features of its subject in a simplified or exaggerated way through sketching, pencil strokes, or through other artistic drawings. Caricature artists are popular attractions at many places frequented by tourists, especially oceanfront boardwalks, where vacationers can have a

humorous caricature sketched in a few minutes. Philby and Yoon’s business, Caricature Party, involves both in-person caricature drawing as well as working from photographs. They also hire out for parties and special events. They charge $20 per person, $35 for two people. After graduating art school, Philby started his career sketching caricatures at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Ohio. He met his wife, also a caricaturist, when he lived abroad and worked in South Korea. After returning to the states, he also worked for a time as a caricaturist at SeaWorld San Diego. The couple take great pride in their work. “We really want to do a great drawing for people that’s really funny – and honest,” said Philby. “Having our own shop really allows for an environment that’s good for that. It’s time consuming. But we want to give people something that’s really worth their money.” With coronavirus keeping people more indoors these days, Philby said he and Saemee are “doing a lot of commissions, working from

photos.” Philby was asked how he does a caricature, which sometimes feature oversized heads of subjects. “Big heads are a typical trope (figurative or metaphorical use) for live caricature,” he answered. “What we do is try to emphasize what’s unique or interesting about your face, get a good likeness, in a short period of time. You train your brain to be able to do it. It takes a lot of practice, a lot of experience. It’s challenging.” Added Philby, “You can be honest with your first impressions (of a subject), hanging on to what you think is unique about them. They want it to look like them. Then comes the honesty, and the humor, and being able to have fun with it (drawing).” Philby and Yoon feel right at home in OB. “I like the vibe here,” he said. “It really feels like the heart of San Diego to me. We really got lucky to find this shop.” Philby said he and his wife work Wednesdays and weekends, typically from 1 to 7 p.m., at their shop by appointment. Caricatures can be insulting or complimentary and can serve a political purpose or be drawn solely for entertainment. Caricatures of politicians are commonly used in editorial cartoons, while caricatures of movie stars are often found in entertainment magazines. Some of the earliest caricatures are found in the works of Leonardo da Vinci, who actively sought people with deformities to use as models. The point was to offer an impression of the original, which was more striking than a portrait. Caricature took a road to its first successes in the closed aristocratic circles of France and Italy.

San Diego Unified sets April target for reopening schools with in-person learning San Diego Unified, the state’s second-largest school district, announced plans to return to in-person instruction the week of April 12, based on a regional agreement to start teacher vaccinations next week. The reopening plan would apply to all grade levels and take effect as soon as San Diego County drops back into the state’s Red Tier, teachers who wish to be vaccinated have had the opportunity to do so, and proper safety measures continue to be in place on every campus. “Our plan to reopen classrooms in April is the result of groundbreaking collaboration between our city, our county and our professional educators. From the start of this crisis, we have remained committed to reopening when it was safe and

responsible to do so. Full vaccinations for educators are part of that safety plan, and we are very grateful for our regional partners helping us to achieve this goal,” Board President Richard Barrera said. The City of San Diego has offered to make emergency medical personnel available to help administer vaccines to educators, and the County of San Diego has said teacher vaccinations could begin as soon as Monday, March 1. Barrera thanked the State Legislature for the clear reopening guidance in Senate Bill 86, which was released Thursday, Feb. 18. He also thanked the panel of UC San Diego medical experts, which released the latest recommendations to the district

Friday, Feb. 19. Those two steps last week have allowed the district to keep its commitment to follow the science in planning for a safe, responsible classroom reopening, Barrera said. Even as the district prepares for a return to in-person instruction, the district recognizes some parents will not feel safe sending their students back on campus at this time. For those families, online learning will continue to be an option. “In the past year, our country has lost 500,000 people to this terrible disease, and we know our young people have also felt its effects, through lost loved ones, and also through lost opportunities. We also know this loss has not SEE SCHOOLS, Page 14

Point Loma High sports given green light to start practicing BY SCOTT HOPKINS | The Beacon

After nearly a year of sitting on the sidelines, many Point Loma High School athletes are being allowed to take the field again. PLHS athletic director Manuel Diaz's message to the school community announced the resumption of sports, which enriches the lives of over 800 Pointer students. Some further requirements, however, must be met.

SEASON 1 SPORTS

Starting Feb. 27, Pointer football players will begin practice for what is planned as a four-game

season. However, CIF policy states contact practices and games will not be permitted until San Diego County reaches an adjusted COVID case rate of 14 or fewer per 100,000. The first possible games will be allowed on March 12. The last day of the competition is April 17. Field hockey players' practices have begun in hopes of a fourgame season. On Feb. 25 contact practices and games will cease until the same COVID rate is reached. Competition, however, must end on March 20. Cross-country competitions will be limited to only two teams per

event. A county championship does not appear likely before competition must end March 27. Swimming/diving is looking towards an April 17 CIF Championship meet. Soccer is tentatively set to begin on March 1. Indoor sports (badminton and girls volleyball) may not begin under California Department of Public Health guidelines. The mandated ending dates are because CIF rules require a 90day period between seasons. The regular fall, winter and spring seasons of prep sports have been drastically limited and combined into just two seasons.

Diaz stressed the importance of each student obtaining athletic clearance and a completed "COVID 19 Check List" filled out before they may begin activity. One major problem facing Diaz and coaches is how to fit the number of teams into the limited practice space on the PLHS campus. This is a difficult task when sports are spread over three seasons and more critical when they are combined in two.

SEASON 2 SPORTS:

Looking ahead, season two sports are listed by CIF based on the state color tier that would

allow them to proceed. Purple Tier sports include golf, tennis, and track and field whose seasons have already opened. Track and field would hold CIF finals on June 12 if permitted. Red Tier sports are baseball, softball, and girls' lacrosse. A Pointer baseball boosters' message notes conditioning will begin immediately with players being tested daily before participation. Orange Tier sports are boys' and girls' soccer, boys' lacrosse and boys' and girls' water polo. Each of these would require the same adjusted COVID Case Rate above.

OBITUARY

FRIDAY · February 26, 2021 THE PENINSULA BEACON

Famed Ocean Beach volleyball legend dies BY SCOTT HOPKINS | The Beacon

George Stepanof, who died early this month at the age of 84, was a man of professionalism and passion. In his profession, he was a San Diego firefighter who rose to the rank of battalion chief, and his passions included being a beach volleyball player and tournament organizer, husband, father, and grandfather. As a teenager in 1955, Stepanof, a recent graduate of Kearny High School, discovered the beach volleyball game one day while at Mission Beach and he was hooked.

During his lifetime, he is credited with creating not only the first official beach volleyball rule book but also the classification system that divides players by level of skill from A to AAA. He managed the annual Mexican Classic in both Estero and Rosarito beaches, Baja California, believed to be the largest two-man international tournament in the world, that once drew 839 teams. Soon after discovering the beach volleyball game, Stepanof married his love Arlene and the pair were together 63 years until his death, living in a home on Brighton Avenue in Ocean Beach

where they raised three sons, Scott (PLHS 1976), Tom (PLHS 1977) and Rick (PLHS 1979), all Pointer volleyball players. Stepanof bought the poles and, along with friends, constructed the beach volleyball courts still in use at the foot of Brighton Street. He played there regularly and, for 50 years organized tournaments until he retired at the age of 80. He is an Ocean Beach icon. “It’s impossible to overstate George Stepanof’s importance to the California Beach Volleyball Association (CVBA) and the sport of beach volleyball,” former CBVA president Chris Brown said.

Have you driven in the 3000 block of Talbot lately? Have you noticed the gleaming white Craftsman style meeting hall on the south side of the street at 3035 Talbot? Have you wondered what the building is used for? The building is the Point Loma Assembly, which was built in 1911 by Frank Jennings. The building was originally leased for one cent a year to a group of women that included his wife, who formed a Social Improvement Society. The purpose of the Assembly and its members was to provide a location for social, cultural and welfare events to benefit the entire Point Loma and Ocean Beach communities. Today the supporting membership organization continues to be a resource

"He was one of the founding fathers of the CBVA and he has run tournaments in San Diego since the 1950s and never missed a tournament." Stepanof was elected to the CBVA Hall of Fame in 1992 to recognize his lifetime of contributions. One of his biggest local tournaments was sponsored by Jose Cuervo Gold tequila and drew throngs of spectators to watch the competition on the sands of Ocean Beach. Sponsors erected a huge inflated tequila bottle near the courts as spectators enjoyed the intense competition.

for community events. The members have supported ten years of renovations and upgrades to make the Hall a firstrate meeting space. The lights are on and the beautiful Hall awaits a time when we can gather in person again. It will be ready for plays, meetings, musical evenings, family parties and memorial events to be held there again. Additionally, the Assembly members are ready to host educational lectures and engage in community collaborations to benefit non-profit organizations in the Point Loma and Ocean Beach area. Visit our website at PointLomaAssembly. org for details and information about us. The Assembly President is Cecilia Carrick Communications Chairman is Pam Fuchs, Reach Pam at pafuchs@cox.net

George Stepanof was inducted into the California Beach Volleyball Association's Hall of Fame in 1992. He organized tournaments for more than 50 years.

Arlene Stepanof noted that when tournaments were held at Brighton Street, a loyal crew SEE OBIT, Page 14

THE McCURDY MINUTE Real Estate Topics Everyone Can Relate To WHAT'S YOUR PLAN? So many people think about buying or selling a home, but don't have a clear plan. Just because we have all sorts of instant and online resources at our fingertips doesn't manage the process for you, nor make it any less confusing. In fact, the massive amount of information thrown at you creates a layer of time and complexity. So if you know that a purchase or sale is in your future, why not start planning now? “Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now." ~ Alan Lakein SELLERS :: HAVE A PLAN It's important to understand a seller's reason for selling and the net gain they seek. Once clear, we assess the time and budget it may take to prepare a property for sale and whether or not they need assistance in the preparation such as handy man, construction, painters, staging, etc. From there we

can set a realistic time-frame to get the property on the market and at what price. All these steps take time, a realistic approach, and planning. If you don't plan, you risk a property sitting on the market longer than anticipated, carrying the associated costs, and possibly holding up the seller's ability to move forward. Here are a few questions I start with when talking to potential sellers: 1. What is your motivation for selling? 2. Calculate a potential net gain based on possible sales price. Is this gain what you require (need) or hope (desire)? 3. Does your property need improvements? Do you have a budget? If not, do you need one? Do you need resources? 4. What is your time-frame? Why? 5. What is your plan after you sell? Does this impact timing and logistics? Would a bridge loan be helpful? BUYERS :: HAVE A PLAN One of the biggest mistakes I see buyers make is to start searching without a plan or

understanding the process. The search is the first 10%. It is also shiny, fun, exciting, then becomes time consuming and often overwhelming. In fact, according to a survey by Homes.com, "about 40% [of buyers], say buying a new home is the most stressful event in modern life". In addition, buying a home in a coastal area like San Diego can be very competitive so you need your ducks in a row so you can jump on an opportunity when it presents itself. I have buyers that have been looking for years for just the right property. And it's always worth the wait because they 1) didn't waiver from their plan and 2) were in position to purchase the property when they found the perfect fit! Here are a few questions I start with when talking to buyers: 1. What's your budget? Are you preapproved for a loan at that budget? If not, do you need a lender to apply? 2. Where are you looking? Have you started your search?

3. What are your needs versus wants? 4. What is your time-frame? 5. Are you contingent upon selling another property in order to purchase a new one? AGENTS :: LOVE A PLAN One of the greatest services an agent can provide is planning guidance and even better, vetted resources to help you. I have been part of over 250 home transactions in my career and every single one has bumps along the way; however, the smoothest deals always have a plan. Plans clarify client and agent expectations and help all parties manage the process both physically (think tasks) and emotionally (think frustration or stress). Plans help the client and agent prepare responses to align with the end goal or can help resolve issues more quickly when they arise. The process inevitably remains more under control. Once you are in escrow, a plan becomes even more important because a time-frame must be adhered to with deadlines that if not met, can result in the deal falling apart. Put sim-

ply, plans greatly increase the chance of a successful and smoother transaction and less stressful experience overall.

THE PENINSULA BEACON | FRIDAY · February 26, 2021 | PAGE 13

To ensure the safety of Girl Scouts and cookie buyers alike, troops are following the county health guidelines established to help reduce COVID-19 transmissions. They are approaching the cookie program a bit differently this year, combining time-honored sales techniques with innovative approaches in a socially distanced manner. Daisy Girl Scout Troop 4423 includes first-graders at the Loma Portal and High Tech elementary schools. Leader Jessica Voytek says that, while her girls miss direct interactions with customers, they have found ways to market cookies. “We created a fun sales video, called last year’s customers, and made flyers and signs with their personal QR codes and the addresses for their secure “Digital Cookie” websites. Troop parents reached out on social media, inviting visitors to their daughters’ online stores to shop, pay, and select either direct shipping from the baker or contact-free delivery by the girls and their parents. Seven-year-old Linnea Voytek has a secret marketing weapon: an eightfoot-tall dinosaur named Lilly. In addition to wearing a custom-made Daisy vest to help out during Girl Scout Cookie season, a decked-out Lilly comes out of hiding for major holidays. Jessica Voytek sees Linnea and her troopmates growing in confidence through Girl Scouting. Participating in the cookie program, for example, helps them learn goal setting, FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME STATEMENT FILE NO. 20219001245 Fictitious Business Name(s) a.

the girls have earned the right to add ten colorful daisy petals to their vests. They are currently doing activities and discussions centered around nature and the idea that by learning how to take care of animals, Daisies also learn to take care of themselves. The girls plan to use part of their cookie money to purchase supplies to assist animals at the San Diego Humane Society. All net cookie proceeds stay here in San Diego to fund programs, camps, service projects, field trips, and the financial assistance that allows all girls to participate in Girl Scouting. How to find Girl Scout Cookies Cookie fans who know a Girl Scout may ask her for an invitation to her Digital Cookie site. Others may visit sdgirlscouts.org and type in their ZIP code to request cookies from a troop in their community. Recently, under guidance from the county health officials, Girl Scouts have been permitted to host “standabouts” (cookie booths) outside their residences, using the same strict safety protocols as farmers markets. Customers also may donate cookies to Operation Thin Mint, a local program that sends “a taste of home and a note to show we care” to deployed service members and local veterans. Since it began 20 years ago, generous San Diegans have gifted over 3.25 million packages of cookies to grateful U.S. troops serving around the world.

trophy case could fill an entire house." Of Stepanof's sons, Scott and Tom are retired Coronado firefighters while Rick is a geologist in Puerto Rico. Two of Stepanof's grandsons also played volleyball for the Pointers and a granddaughter played at Bishop's before joining the UC Berkeley team. Arlene Stepanof noted the irony when George experienced a medical emergency while driving through Liberty Station. First on the scene were firefighters from Station 20, the station where he was a captain until his promotion to Battalion Chief. Efforts to revive him were made at the scene and UCSD Medical Center. She is hoping to have a life celebration for her husband in the future but is so grateful for the support she has received already. "I have such a large support group," Arlene noted. "I am so fortunate."

of Ocean Beach regulars helped Stepanof set up the site, put up the nets, and stayed afterward to clean up. Sometimes tournament planning was difficult she recalled. "Years ago, guys drinking in a bar would decide at 2 a.m. to enter a tournament starting later that day and they would call us at home. George would have to redo the entire tournament boards," she recalled with a laugh. "But putting on the tournaments was the love of his life." Jim Joniaux (PLHS 1968) was already a volleyball player when he moved in next door to the Stepanofs and became close friends with the family. "George was a legend and could do anything including building and fixing things," Joniaux said. "He was a mentor to me. He excelled in every sport and his

Barrera described these efforts as important, but insufficient given the extraordinary level of need. “San Diegans can be rightfully proud of the heroic efforts our teachers and other workers have put forward over the past year,” Barrera said. “They have served 12 million free meals, distributed more than 80,000 laptops and thousands of WiFi hotspots, hosted forums for thousands of parents in many different languages, and most of all, they have never stopped working to make our school buildings safer. That work will only grow in importance as we prepare to reopen classrooms.” According to the San Diego County Office of Education, some 88,000 students are now participating in a hybrid learning environment, including some time on campus. That county number would immediately double once San Diego Unified launches its

impacted all communities equally, and our historically disadvantaged students have suffered the most from the COVID-19 crisis. It is up to all of us to give them back their future – not only on the day we reopen classrooms, but on each day afterwards by renewing California’s commitment to equity in education,” Barrera said. Currently, some 4,000 students are visiting schools for scheduled learning appointments, and many more will soon be returning to more than 500 learning labs, which are scheduled to open in the weeks before the full reopening following spring break. However, these opportunities are largely designed to support students who face severe obstacles to online learning. They include students experiencing

Boa rd Vice President Dr. Sharon Whitehurst-Payne called on state lawmakers to move quickly to pass SB86 and then to move forward with additional funding for an equity-based recovery. “Now is the time for the state to embark on a recovery plan to provide more instruction time and more dedicated attention to students. This recovery must be based on acceleration, not remediation,” Whitehurst-Payne said. “State funding must be set aside now, so districts can begin planning to implement evidence-based strategies, which should be locally driven, but could include expanded tutoring, in-person academic and enrichment classes this summer, and mental health supports.” All families will be asked to share their preferences for returning their students to in-person classroom instruction in a district survey.
