SR WEEKEND & NEWS UPDATE

Friday Night Lights
The Scripps Ranch High School (SRHS) senior parent committee coordinated with the SRHS administration and – starting tonight, Oct. 2 – the lights on the SRHS stadium will shine brightly for exactly 20 minutes and 21 seconds every Friday night for the foreseeable future.
The school’s marquee will read “Friday Night Lights” for exactly 20 minutes and 21 seconds in honor of the Senior Class of 2021 – since high school sports, including football games, with all the pageantry, will not be occurring this fall due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This will occur every Friday this fall to commemorate the class and give a nod to all that is missing in this school year so far. Hopefully, the seniors and their families will see the lights at some point and know that even with all they’ve lost this year, the community sees them and wishes them well.


COVID-19 cases stay steady
Total cases of coronavirus reported in the Scripps Ranch 92131 ZIP Code area this week remained at 193 total cases.

The County of San Diego reported 566 total cases recorded in Mira Mesa and 320 total cases in Poway. San Diego County reports the cases, broken down by community residence listed for each patient.

These are the total tabulated cases in each ZIP Code area since the County began tracking cases in March. It does not reflect those who recovered, nor does it account for those who died from COVID-19. The County of San Diego does not provide those statistics at this point.


Mayor highlight steps to reopen playgrounds
Following changes in public health orders by the state to allow for the reopening of playgrounds, the City of San Diego is implementing safety measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as it reopens nearly 300 playgrounds citywide for parents and children.
“We already encourage families and children to recreate outdoors at beaches and parks while taking safety precautions, so there’s no reason why we can’t reopen playgrounds the same safe and responsible way,” said Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer. “Along with other local leaders, we urged the Governor to deliver the proper guidance to make this a reality for our parents and children, and now that we can reopen we’ll do it responsibly with safety front and center.”

The City will fully open all 289 playgrounds by Saturday, Oct. 3. Earlier this week, Parks and Recreation staff conducted site visits to all playgrounds to conduct capacity assessments and prepare the locations for social distancing and queuing markings.

In order to prevent the spread of the virus, signs have been posted requiring the following steps be followed in order to remain in compliance with public health orders:

  • Physical distancing
  • Facial coverings
  • Hand washing and good general hygiene after use

Floriculture Expo honors local resident
Scripps Ranch resident Ghean Maksimow, co-founder of Bow Genie International, was recently recognized by the floriculture industry by having a flower named in her honor at the International Floriculture Exposition (IFE), held virtually on Sept. 16.

Flower naming events are a venerated tradition in Europe, where queens and heads of state have been honored with flowers named after them in a formal ceremony. Honorees are chosen by a panel of fellow industry leaders, and this year’s recipient was nominated by Danny Temkin prior to his passing in September. Maksimow is only the 11th person in the United States to be recognized by the IFE with this award.

The lavender breed of dahlia is awarded the name and trade designation “Genie,” and was bred by the Miyoshi Company and Ball SB., a division of Ball Horticultural Company.

The award was presented by Cindy Hanauer of Grand Central Floral, a 2012 recipient of the same award.

“This was a very special year to have Danny Temkin nominate Ghean before his untimely passing. Danny and Ghean have had a special relationship for many years, and this flower honors their relationship, and the special place that Ghean has in the hearts of the entire industry,” Hanauer said.

It’s literally impossible to discuss the history of the floral industry without recognizing Ghean’s contributions for the past 35-plus years. The award was a surprise to Maksimow, as the winner each year is a closely guarded secret until the ceremony.


City restarts parking enforcement
As an effort to boost San Diego’s economy by allowing increased turnover of customers at dining and retail businesses, enforcement of all parking regulations resumed Thursday, Oct. 1. The enforcement will begin with a two-week grace period and citations with corresponding fines will be issued beginning Thursday, Oct. 15.

The City temporarily suspended parking enforcement on March 16 following the COVID-19 stay-at-home order. In developing a plan to restart parking enforcement, City staff consulted with several business groups representing communities across San Diego. Bringing back parking enforcement is identified as one small step toward restoring San Diego’s economy.

Now, the City will issue written warnings for vehicles parked in violation of:

  • Posted street sweeping routes.
  • Metered parking restrictions.
  • Curb time limits.
