COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS BEING ENFORCED Authorities have begun citing essential businesses that have not complied with the requirement to post social-distancing and sanitization guidelines near the entrance of their businesses. All employees of grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants open for to-go orders, fast-food eateries, convenience stores and gas stations must also wear a facial covering at all times as part of a county health order. Though not mandating that residents wear face coverings, essential businesses can deny entry to customers whose faces are not covered, said County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If an individual business chooses to say that you need to have a face covering to come into their business, that is a determination that those businesses can make,'' Fletcher said. Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputies and SDPD started enforcing the stay-at-home orders last weekend. SDPD issued 10 citations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which carry a potential $1,000 fine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in Ocean Beach, including three at Robb Field, two at Dog Beach, and one at Sunset Cliffs. Five more citations occurred at Balboa Park.

To submit contact information to be qualified as a convalescent plasma donor, visit sandiegobloodbank. org/donateplasma. Donors will also need to meet routine donor screening criteria.

2020 CENSUS IS UNDERWAY

By now, every household in Pacific and Mission beaches should have received an invitation by mail to participate in the 2020 Census. The Census provides more than a snapshot of a community's demographics. Its count determines where nearly $1 trillion of taxpayer money is allocated for healthcare, education, housing, community resources, transportation, and disaster relief. It is fast and easy to complete your Census questionnaire at my2020census.gov, by phone (844330-2020), or by mail.

scheduled for May 30-31, 2020 has been postponed until the fall. The new 2020 event date, which is currently being finalized with local officials, will be communicated as soon as possible. In what has been a continually evolving and challenging time globally, organizers recognize the postponement may come as a disappointment, but look forward to providing participants with an exceptional event experience in the future.

SCHOOL CAMPUSES ARE OFF LIMITS TO ALL No students, parents or coaches will be allowed on area school campuses during the current COVID-19 school closure according to San Diego Unified School District school officials. "No trespassing" signs have been posted at all entrances. Construction and renovation of the PLHS campus is continuing during this time. Workers and neighbors have reported seeing students on the athletic fields. These people have now been instructed to notify police if others are seen in the future. This order also applies to the Dana and Correia middle school campuses. Campuses are equipped with video cameras, which can be accessed remotely, that will be used to identify anyone violating this directive. School police warn that anyone caught on campuses may be charged with a misdemeanor carrying a fine up to $1,000.

BUSINESSES MUST POST PHYSICAL DISTANCING PROTOCOLS No later than midnight on April 7, all businesses that remain in operation must prepare and post a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Social Distancing and Sanitation Protocol" at or near the entrance of the relevant facility, to be easily viewable by the public and employees. A copy of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Social Distancing and Sanitation Protocolâ&#x20AC;? must also be provided to each employee performing work at the facility. All businesses shall implement the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Social Distancing and Sanitation Protocolâ&#x20AC;? and provide evidence of its implementation to any authority enforcing this Order upon demand. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Social Distancing and Sanitation Protocolâ&#x20AC;? must ensure all required measures are implemented and must identify and require measures necessary to implement social distancing and sanitation at that facility.

Realtors, civic groups, and schools all still working, albeit remotely By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

From schools to planning groups to real estate, everyone is moving forward remotely to observe mandated COVID-19 social-distancing requirements.

VIRTUAL HOME TOURS

Real-estate agents are using internet tools, applications like FaceTime, Zoom, and Matterport, to not only conduct meetings but transact business. “Open houses are going virtual at least for now because we’re not allowed to have an open house,” said Ocean Beach resident Catrina Russell, of Coldwell Banker West. “So you’re going to be seeing different open-house virtual tours where people can actually log in, and we can walk them through the entire house answering any questions.” Point Loma’s Rosamaria Acuna, of Berkshire Hathaway, said her top priority has been to “educate clients on what’s happening and how everyone involved needs to be safe.” “We give the buyers all the information up-front with photos, emails, and everything online,” said Acuna. “Then, if they’re really interested, we would schedule an appointment for (home) access." When home tours are scheduled, often after a bid is actually made by the buyers, social distancing is

observed under Realtors' close control and scrutiny. In fact, the switch from in-person to remote high-tech in real estate was taking place before the health crisis, noted Russell. “We were already heading with a lot of this in that direction anyway,” she said. “I’m using those (internet) tools. If people (Realtors) don’t adjust – they’re going to be gone. This is a game-changer. Luckily, this is happening now, not 15 or 20 years ago when there wasn’t so much technology.” Acuna spoke of conducting a virtual Matterport Tour, pointlomacraftsman.com, that she said: “allows an agent to do a professional walk-through of the home from the front door to every room providing floor plans of property including garages and patios.” Added Acuna, “We’re also hosting our Berkshire Hathaway business meetings by Zoom (remotely) with 70 or more members.”

A TALE OF TWO PLANNING GROUPS Observing social distancing, Ocean Beach Planning Group and La Jolla Community Planning Association recently held virtual meetings. One went without mishap. The other was sabotaged by hackers. “Our CPA meeting went

surprisingly smoothly thanks to our head's up to IT guru Greg Jackson, who provided both his ZOOM internet app, practice sessions, technical advice, and tutorials for us,” said Diane Kane of LJCPA. “As chair, I found 40-plus faces staring back at me on my computer screen an interesting – if not daunting – experience. Many thanks to Greg, who was monitoring the audio and chat functions, for keeping everything on track.” But OB planners’ initial foray into Zoom and virtual meetings had a dramatically different outcome. “We experienced what is being called a ‘Zoom bombing,’” said Andrea Schlageter, OB Plan Group chair. “After the first five minutes of the meeting, the number of attendees suddenly spiked, host controls were overridden, swastikas were drawn overtop the screenshared agenda, every person in attendance was verbally harassed by name, and a porn website was screen-shared.” Looking on, Pacific Beach Planning Group chair Karl Rand opted to have the next PB Plan Group meeting held via teleconferencing on April 8. But there were conditions attached for public participation to avoid what happened in OB. “Any member of the public wanting to attend this teleconference

must email a request to the meeting coordinator at meetings@pbplanning.org prior to the meeting and provide your name and email address to log in (or, if requested, telephone dial-in) information,” said Rand. “Approved attendees will be sent the login (or dial-in) information the day of the meeting. We encourage submittal of comments in writing prior to the meeting. Submitting comments and questions ahead of time guarantees it will be read during the meeting and entered into the record.”

Rosamaria Acuna, of Berkshire Hathaway, said she would schedule an appointment for (home) access while maintaining safety guidelines and social distancing.

ONLINE EDUCATION

Scott Irwin, Dana Middle School principal and co-chair of the Point Loma Cluster Schools Foundation, noted San Diego Unified School District began rolling out a distance-learning plan on April 6. “This was so students can continue learning while our school sites are closed,” he said. “This plan represents our commitment to ensure each and every student continues to learn and achieve. This plan is founded on the following principles: supporting our educators as they transition to distance learning, providing access for all students and maintaining teaching and learning.” Now that SDUSD campuses are closed, Irwin pointed out educators

will now have three distance-learning models to select from Districtprovided instructional materials with educator support, educator-led hybrid instruction, and educator-led blended instruction. “Our teachers will resume offering instruction using a ‘distance learning’ model starting April 27,” said Irwin. “Students will not be graded based upon their completion of work during this phase. Student grades were frozen as of March 13. The grading of student work will resume on April 27.” Visit sites.google.com/sandi.net/ covid19/home for information related to netbook distribution, curriculum options for children, and news related to school closures.

Ocean Beach/Point Loma Street Stewards helping out homebound senior citizens By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

BEACON AT HOME

After reading the Peninsula Beacon, Lorraine Goerke used it on the patio under where she was

painting a mural on the back of my Ocean Beach house. ‘I've been wanting to do that for 20 years and never had the time!’

The Street Stewa rds, who were doing community beautification in Ocean and Pacific beaches, Point Loma and now Un iver s it y C it y, a r e b ei ng re-purposed during the pandemic crisis to aid homebound seniors. “Many of our neighbors are at-risk for coronavi r us a nd must self-isolate at home, specifically seniors and immunocompromised individuals,” said Aaron Null, founder of the volunteer, nonprofit organization. “It's vitally important we check in on them to make sure their basic needs are getting met during this pandemic.” Null felt the Street Steward program he started in August 2019 in OB could be the perfect vehicle to help seniors in need. “I thought it would be a good way to probe neighborhoods to see if we can dig up, and f lush out, most of the at-risk people,” he said pointing out he knows, like others, a lot of senior neighbors without having made personal contact. “This could be a good way to talk to them, say hi outside, ask them if they need any help getting g rocer ies or prescr ipt ions,” Null said. “With the stewards,

we’re trying to bridge that gap, start that (aid) network.” So Null created an online for m, ht tp://bit.ly/cv-neighbor- suppor t, t hat st ewa rd s can f ill out to automatically create an 8.5 by11-inch poster with their contact info/photo to leave at seniors’ doors so they know volunteers are available to help. “You Just fill out the form and you'll get an email with a PDF poster that you can print and drop at doorsteps while you street clean,” said Null adding, “Maybe we can help someone who feels quite isolated or scared right now.” Null said there are presently about 175 Street Steward volunteers in both Pacific Beach and Ocean Beach, as well as about 60 more in Point Loma. He said he’s organizing volunteers to add senior errands to their clean-up duties. “I’ve got about 50 volunteers signed up and ready to go,” he said. “But I’m waiting for things to peak a little more before I roll the program out.” Null will be messaging stewards to let them know when they ca n beg i n ca nvassi ng their designated neighborhoods to determine who the people are who are most vulnerable

and in need. Then stewards can drop off f illed-out forms on their doorsteps telling them they’re available to help. “We’re hoping, these people (stewa rds) who a re al ready walking around cleaning up, that they could also just drop of f f lyers to let people know t hey wa nt to help, or just check-in to make sure they’re OK,” Null noted.

While you’re sheltering in place, Point Loma Village and other small businesses want patrons to know they remain open for take-out and delivery of food and other essential services. - “We are obviously an essential healthcare facility and hence accept our responsibility to continue providing our services to our community in this most efficient and non-disruptive process as possible,” said Michael Saad of Point Loma Shelter Island Drug at 1105 Rosecrans St. “This is the profession we chose and as community pharmacists, we are dedicated to the health and welfare of our community and patients. Having said this, we are extremely concerned about the health and exposure risks that our employees are facing every day.” To protect its employees, and consumers, Point Loma Shelter Island Drug has adopted

facemasks and gloves on all employees at all times; hand washing and sanitizing all counters and any surfaces touched hourly such as telephones, registers, etc.; every patient is screened at the entrance with hands disinfected before entering pharmacy; maximum two patients at a time in pharmacy; free home deliveries; drive-thru pickup encouraged; three-month supply of maintenance drugs encouraged; and sneeze guards installed at all counters to protect employees and patients. • Collin Smith of The Cravory at 3960 W. Point Loma Blvd., in Midway Towne Center, said his business “is doing its best to stay open during these unprecedented times by coming up with creative ways to engage with customers. We are offering $1 cookies at our Point Loma retail location, as well as offering ‘social distancing’ deliveries by the ‘Cookie Monster’ himself.” Added Smith: “A member of

By the time it hit, we were monitoring almost by the hour, in social media ...Once the guidelines were set, we were able to adapt to it, while making adjustments such as hours of operation, extended delivery times, etc.” Fernandez added, “We work really hard on our marketing and we are seeing good results … it is difficult not knowing how long this will last and the after-effects, but we are also preparing for the future, always being prepared, and if not, then being able to adapt quickly. We communicate with our managers daily and quickly. Lastly, we try to have really good relations with our customers. We’ve been supporting our neighborhood schools, running weekly giveaways on our social media pages, etc., and it is great seeing how they are supporting Mr. Moto.” • Fiddler’s Green at 2760 Shelter Island Drive found itself trapped between a rock and a hard place located on the second floor of its building. But owner Steve Rock has compensated.

Owner Adam Zack said he has progressively taken more and more steps as the lockdown has deepened, requiring employees to sanitize the store as much as possible while maintaining social distancing and instituting a temporary no-reusable bag policy.

BID Alliance shares ideas, promotes and supports local businesses

The San Diego Foundation grants $550,000 more to nonprofits for COVID-19 The San Diego Foundation has announced local nonprofit organizations have received an additional $550,000 in rapid response grants from the COVID-19 Community Response Fund to support individuals, families and communities impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. To date, the fund has granted $1.7 million to nonprofit organizations on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis. Thanks to the generosity of more than 1,600 individuals, companies, foundations and donors at The San Diego Foundation, the COV I D -19 Community Response Fund has raised $6.8 million and earned a $500,000 matching gift from the Dr. Seuss Fund at The San Diego Foundation to support San Diegans in need. Recent donations include $200,000 from The California Endowment and a new $500,000 matching campaign from the

Halicioglu Family Foundation. The Halicioglu Family Foundation was founded by Taner Halicioglu, a leading tech investor in San Diego and one of the first employees at Facebook. “These are unprecedented times and it is more important than ever that we come together as a community to help each other,” Halicioglu said. Businesses, individuals and organizations can donate and find additional information about the San Diego COVID-19 Community Response Fund at SDFoundation. org where nonprofit organizations can also find information about how to request grant funding or an interest-free loan. “Government aid is providing some relief in this crisis but the needs of our communities are vast and nonprofit services are filling those gaps in support,” shared Mark Stuart, president and CEO of The San Diego Foundation.

merchants with the resources to develop marketing campaigns, increase awareness and enhance public improvement projects in partnership with the City. The BID associations have developed a variety of successful marketing activities ranging from putting on special events, such as restaurant tours, block parties, weekly farmers markets, and holiday festivals, to developing public relations and marketing materials. BID associations promote businesses through the internet, social media and cooperative advertising campaigns. They develop and distribute business directories, coupon books, and other district brochures. Concerning the message the BID Alliance is getting out to its members' alliance president Lee said: “It’s kind of a tough situation for us to tell the bids how to prepare themselves, as we’re all going through it together. But each time we speak, we come up with new ways to support each other. We really don’t know how to navigate this on our own right now. But it’s our top priority to support those businesses, and to ensure that they come back strong once this crisis is over.”

As the pandemic lockdown continues, coastal business improvement districts – Discover PB, La Jolla Village Merchants Association and Ocean Beach MainStreet Association – are working together along with their umbrella organization, the BID Alliance, to help small businesses in neighborhoods citywide. How is the BID Alliance working with the various bids to help them out in this crisis? “What we’re doing now is sharing a lot of information with each other, talking about how we can reach out to our businesses, get them the information they need to get relief and assistance,” said Lysundra “Sunny” Lee, Bid Alliance president representing Old Town Chamber of Commerce. “We’re also sharing information on how we’re marketing our businesses that are open, sharing best practices and troubleshooting.” Sara Berns, executive director of Discover PB, pointed out BIDs like hers citywide have had to “abruptly change course” from their main focus of “promotion and upkeep” to do “crisis management” instead. “The BID Alliance has been intricate in providing the hub of communications for our organizations, from sharing ideas of promoting open businesses, to ways to disseminate info to our membership quickly,” said Berns. “The alliance has been most effective in this unprecedented time.” Added Berns: “As an executive director of a business improvement district there are only 17 others in the position like me here in the

City. Yet we all work for individual organizations. Personally, I have depended on them (BID Alliance) more than ever over the last couple of weeks.” LJVMA’s executive director Jodi Rudick has been busy recently helping her small-business members apply for the recently approved City of San Diego Small Business Relief Fund. “It’s on a first-come, first-served basis,” Rudick said of the relief fund, which provides grants, forgivable loans and low-interest loans for working capital.” “We are all working together to understand the long-term ramifications of the pandemic and how our organizations can survive in order to help our local businesses stay in business and flourish after this is all over,” said Denny Knox, executive director of Ocean Beach MainStreet Association. “All the bids are sharing ideas and solutions so that our communities have the best possible outcome. I’m very grateful to have these dedicated individuals/organizations working so hard to offer hope and help to our members.” Dating back to 1970, the City of San Diego's Business Improvement District (BID) program is the largest tenant-based program in the state, and is administered by the City's Economic Development Department. Since then, the small business community and the City of San Diego have created 18 active BID districts, with more than 11,000 small businesses participating in self-assessment districts, raising more than $1.3 million annually.

“One of the really cool things about this unfortunate opportunity that we got forced into is that we're able to be really innovative with the way that we're doing ministry and really hone in on the fact that church is not happening inside of a building anymore. The ways that people are finding spirituality are not confined to the four walls of a sanctuary,” said Bailey Brawner, pastor of Mission Hills UMC. Social distancing could mean social separation, so faith communities are grappling with

how best to stay connected beyond just classes and services. Dharma Bum Temple is going to rely heavily on its Facebook group and UCC’s church app will be more significant than ever. Pastors are struggling to find ways to keep seniors engaged who are not digitally savvy. St. Paul’s Cathedral is organizing a phone tree so vulnerable people will be checked in on weekly. With school out, Kensington Community Church is figuring out ways to conduct youth group through Zoom or Instagram. Stephen Colon, a youth leader, said this is important because it will keep the group connected so they do not feel the need to

sneak off to North Park to hang out with each other. In addition to fears about seniors and young people slipping through the cracks, many of these religious buildings host recovery groups. “We have a huge recovery community, so a lot of people battling addiction. We see a few hundred people a week with multiple classes. For many people battling addiction, it's a dayto-day, life-threatening situation where they rely on meetings and they rely on the community to stay clean and sober,” said Jeff Zlotnik, co-founder of Dharma Bum Temple. “I wish I could say this is exactly what we're going to do. And that's going to fix

everyone and solve all the problems, but it's not. It's going to be difficult.” Despite fears about what will happen to their congregants, for many faith leaders, shutting down services was a moral imperative. Patient 31 in South Korea is connected to 80% of cases in the country because she went to two church services, the hospital (after a car collision) and a buffet with a fever. The vast majority of the people she exposed were at church. With people at those church services then spreading it to others, thousands of cases can be traced back to this one patient. In the U.S., hundreds of people

in Washington D.C. were exposed to coronavirus when an Episcopal priest gave out communion before testing positive to the virus. The first confirmed cases of coronavirus in a few cities have been Episcopal priests, including D.C., Chattanooga, Tennessee and Fort Worth, Texas after the denomination held The Consortium of Endowed Episcopal Parishes annual conference in February. “Closing down churches, from the perspective of in-person gathering, is a way to love your neighbor. I sincerely understand that for many people, the experience of church is about connection,” said Colon.

Correia Middle students earn honors at C-SPAN’s 2020 StudentCam By DAVE SCHWAB | The Beacon

Three Correia Middle School students in Point Loma were honorable mention prize winners in C-SPAN’s national 2020 StudentCam competition. The three contest-winning students – Wyatt Evans, Cole Fisher and Ian Sturak – will receive $250 for their documentary, "Wrong Winner: The Coming Debacle in the Electoral College,” about the emerging political crisis in U.S. politics, with the possible winning of the presidency by a candidate with far fewer votes than his/her opponent. Since 2006, Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network (C-SPAN), an American cable and satellite television network televising U.S. federal government and pubic affairs programming, has partnered with local cable television providers nationwide to invite middle and high school students to produce short documentaries about a subject of national importance. This year, students addressed the theme, "What's Your Vision in 2020? Explore the issue you most want presidential candidates to address during the campaign." These Correia winners are among 330 students nationwide who won a total of $100,000 in the C-Span contest. Middle school students were judged on a national basis. The grand prize winner was selected nationally among all

Cole Fisher, Ian Sturak, and Wyatt Evans outside the C-SPAN bus.

regions and grade levels. The C-SPAN Bus visited Correia Middle School in March to honor the three winning students and join with the community in recognizing them in front of classmates, teachers, family and elected officials. The student’s video was also presented during the ceremony. The three Correia students talked about their project. “We choose the topic of the electoral college because it resonated with all of us as something that isn’t right in America. All of us believed it was something

that should be changed,” said Ian Sturak “We wrap up our project with our views on the electoral college’s place in America, as well as possible solutions for how we can address the issue,” said Wyatt Evans “Throughout the production of the video, we faced multiple unavoidable setbacks, such as interviewees being unable to fit our schedules and a lack of filming equipment. We knew this topic was important, though, and we had to get our message out there,” said Cole Fisher.

The student’s video is at viddler. com/v/89017bf3. Th e C o r r e i a contingent were among early 5,400 students from 44 states and Washington, D.C. who participated in the C-SPAN contest, which received over 2,500 submissions on a variety of topics including the environment, equality/discrimination, guns, health care and immigration. "StudentCa m provides a platform for young people to have their voices heard on the issues they are clearly passionate about," said C-SPAN's director of education relations, Craig McAndrew. "This year's entries reflect remarkable research and production values and feature a wide range of interviews with elected officials and experts. The life-skills students learn from this experience which will carry them forward in their academic, personal and professional lives." "Congratulations to our local winners on their hard work, creativity and well-deserved recognition,” said Sam Attisha, regional

manager for Cox Communications. "Cox is committed to strengthening our communities through educational programs and we are proud to partner with C-SPAN in its mission to encourage students to think critically about issues that affect our country.” In the student documentary contest, C-SPAN is awarding one grand prize, four first prizes, 16 second prizes, 32 third-prize winners and 97 honorable mentions. The winning videos will receive cash awards of $5,000, $3,000, $1,500, $750 and $250, respectively. This year marks the 16th year of the StudentCam competition, which has awarded over $1 million in prizes. The 150 winning videos can be viewed at studentcam.organd may be used in a broadcast with attribution to C-SPAN. The annual competition is sponsored by the C-SPAN Education Foundation. Videos were evaluated by a panel of educators and C-SPAN representatives based on the thoughtful examination of the competition’s theme, quality of expression, inclusion of varying sides of the documentary’s topic, and effective incorporation of C-SPAN programming. C-SPAN is funded by America’s cable television companies, who also support StudentCam. In San Diego, C-SPAN is available locally through Cox.

Tips for keeping children busy while staying at home By LYNN WALSH | The Beacon

Schools will not return to class this spring due to the school closures associated with the coronavirus pandemic. The closures have caused teachers and parents to quickly put together resources, schedules and plans to keep students on track with learning goals. In San Diego, the San Diego Unified School District announced a partnership with KPBS and the San Diego County Office of Education to continue to provide learning resources for its students. The partnership includes a TV broadcast and an online component. A distance learning plan for all students in the San Diego Unified School District started with a soft launch on Monday, April 6. The district received the final support necessary after reaching a tentative agreement with the San Diego Education Association (SDEA). The district now has the full backing of stakeholders to provide all students with the opportunity to finish the school year they started months ago while providing teachers with the professional resources they need. For the three-week period between April 6 and April 24, students will be given credit for work that is done, although material will not be graded. On April 27, graded instruction will resume for traditional schools, and May 11 for year-round schools, for the remainder of the academic year. For students in TK-12 who need a computer, Chromebooks will be available for check-out, depending on where students attend school, at the following high schools:

RESOURCES FOR FAMILIES • Digital Access to San Diego County Library • Paris Museums Put 100,000 Images Online for unrestricted public use • Virtual Field Trips • Virtual museum tours • Women’s Museum of California Digital Exhibits and Stories • U.S National Park Virtual Tours • Georgia Aquarium live cams • Watch Broadway Musicals from home • NASA Photo Library • 150+ Educational Shows on Netflix • PBS Videos and Lesson Plans • Apps to help you learn and study from home

Families who need internet connectivity within the Cox service area should sign up for the Connect2Compete program, which offers free Cox installation and internet services for the next 60 days. Having students and young children at home provides time to bond as a family, but it also means parents and caregivers are responsible for keeping everyone busy and engaged. Below are some resources to help better structure the time without it turning into a movie marathon day after day.

VIRTUAL TOURS

Consider taking a virtual tour.

While you may not be able to physically go to a museum or theme park right now, some are offering virtual tours at https:// bit.ly/2JbidYw.

Point Loma players, coaches devastated after state cancels sports BY SCOTT HOPKINS | The Beacon

An hours-long conference call last week between the state's 10 California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) section commissioners and executive director ended with a heart-breaking announcement for thousands of prep athletes in the state. The group declared an end to all high school spring sports, including playoffs, because of the coronavirus pandemic sweeping the nation. The decision was especially emotional for senior athletes, 95 percent of whom will not compete at the university level and saw their careers come to an abrupt end. "The official cancellation of spring sports was a pretty tragic piece of news for me to deliver, especially to our seniors," said Alex Van Heuven, PLHS athletic director. "I think it is better to know than hold everyone in limbo." Van Heuven said 540 students were on rosters of spring teams, including 200 alone in track and field. She listed badminton, boys golf, boys volleyball, boys tennis, boys and girls lacrosse, baseball, softball, boys and girls swimming and diving and stunt cheer as other affected sports. CIF executive director Ron Nocetti released a short statement that read, in part, "Based on the recent statements issued by Gov. Newsom and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond regarding schools turning to distance learning for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year, the CIF does not see an avenue for the spring sports season to continue." "We understand this is disappointing for everyone involved in education-based athletics and empathize with our student-athletes and all who are impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. As always, our top priority is everyone's ongoing health and safety during this challenging time," Nocetti added. Pointer athletes and coaches understood the reason for the CIF's action but still expressed sadness as reality set in. "First and foremost, I feel really, really bad for all the seniors," said

Pointer head varsity baseball coach Jeff Solis. "For all the players to have their season cut short and not get to compete and see how far they could go in playoffs has got to be frustrating for them just like it is for the coaches." Solis noted the Pointer baseball program, top to bottom, maybe at its strongest position ever with the varsity sporting a 6-1 record complemented by strong junior varsity and freshman programs. "It's starting to sink in," said senior baseball player RJ LaRocco, who received a text from Solis informing him of the situation. "I was pretty bummed when I read it. Once they started pushing the date back for school starting, I had a gut feeling this would happen. All I wanted was to play my senior season of ball." LaRocco's career, however, will continue. He will be playing Div. III baseball for Webster University in St. Louis. Other Pointer teams with available results include boys lacrosse (60), boys tennis (3-3), girls lacrosse (2-1) and girls softball (2-3). CIF San Diego section commissioner Jerry Schniepp, who is retiring in July, issued a heartfelt open letter to the young athletes. "I recognize that this is devastating news. I especially feel for the seniors on teams that will not be able to compete for their schools again. Frustration, confusion, and sadness

are normal emotions in this abnormal time and although I hope that you comprehend the gravity of our situation as a city, state, and country, it is also normal to feel bad for yourself. It’s okay to feel that," Schniepp wrote. Schniepp also noted that many possible ways to continue competition were considered before cancellation became the only option. "The CIFSDS held out hope and worked on plans for some semblance of a season for as long as we could. We contemplated and drafted different scenarios where we would have shortened seasons, modified schedules with no playoffs and games with no spectators," he revealed. But these alternatives died when it was announced schools would not re-open. Schniepp urged student-athletes to rely on lessons learned in sports: "But remember this: athletes understand adversity. You’ve all had to get past injuries, tough losses, and failure. You’ve doubted yourself when things haven’t gone your way. Yet you still showed up for practice the next day. “As an athlete, you are better equipped to handle this tough time than most. You’ve dealt with difficult situations and have overcome them. Remember the lessons that you’ve learned in sports and use them. Just as you have done as part of a team, we now must battle through this, stick together and do our part."
