SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego Legion Major League Rugby team announced Tuesday that it released recently signed player Steffon Armitage in the wake of his conviction for sexually assaulting a woman in France.On Monday, a French court found Armitage guilty of groping a woman's breasts outside a bar last year in the town of Pau, where he was playing at the time of the assault. Armitage, 34, admitted he had also been drinking heavily that night.The court handed Armitage a suspended prison sentence and ordered him to compensate the victim with 5,000 euros, roughly ,500 in U.S. dollars.The Legion signed Armitage in July. Earlier in the decade, Armitage won three European Rugby Champions Cup titles with France's FC Toulannais and was named the European Rugby Cup's 2013-2014 player of the year.He had been expected to join the team at the beginning of pre-season training in December."Armitage's conduct does not reflect the values of the Legion and therefore, the team is going to go in a different direction for the 2020 season," the team said in a statement released Tuesday.The Legion launched with Major League Rugby in 2018 as one of the league's seven founding teams. The organization plays all home games at University of San Diego's Torero Stadium. 1273

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The death toll in an outbreak of hepatitis A in San Diego has reached 16, and 421 people have been sickened with the disease, the county Health and Human Services Agency reported Tuesday.The figures are associated with an outbreak that began last November and has struck the homeless population and users of illicit drugs particularly hard.RELATED: San Diego to begin spraying down streets to control Hepatitis A outbreakPatients who contracted hepatitis A, which attacks the liver, in a manner unrelated to the outbreak aren't included in the statistics.The new numbers were released the same day the city of San Diego began a pilot program to keep 14 public restrooms in Balboa Park open 24 hours a day. Under direction from county health, the city on Monday began washing down streets and sidewalks in the East Village with a bleach formula.Also, around 40 hand-washing stations were set up around the city -- concentrated in areas where the homeless congregate -- around the beginning of the Labor Day weekend.RELATED: City and County of San Diego provide handwashing, vaccines to stop Hepatitis A outbreakOn Wednesday, a proposal to declare an emergency in San Diego over the outbreak and a lack of shelter space is scheduled to go before the City Council's Select Committee on Homelessness.Councilman David Alvarez suggested the declaration nearly two weeks ago, calling for immediate action because of the fatalities. In response, the office of Mayor Kevin Faulconer said the declaration was unnecessary, since the city was taking steps to combat the illness.County officials, meanwhile, are continuing a program of vaccinations, which are considered to be the best way to prevent hepatitis A. The disease is spread by contact with microscopic amounts of infected feces and via sexual transmission.RELATED: Hepatitis A outbreak ravages San Diego homeless populationMore than 7,000 shots have been given to people considered to be at-risk of acquiring the disease, and over 19,000 shots given out in total, according to the HHSA.In January's annual tally of the area's transient population, 5,619 homeless individuals were counted in the city of San Diego, a 10.3 percent increase from last year. Of those, 3,231 were living on the streets. 2287

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego City Council voted unanimously today to support Mayor Kevin Faulconer's plan to expand outdoor dining and retail options during the COVID-19 pandemic.The vote follows Faulconer's July 7 executive order that waived requirements for the temporary use of sidewalks and private parking lots as outdoor dining and retail venues to increase space for physical distancing.Tuesday's vote allows businesses to use adjacent on-street parking to operate while also waiving a majority of permitting fees.``Our local restaurant and retail owners have shown incredible resolve and resilience throughout this pandemic. Many of those small businesses have been among the hardest hit and San Diegans are ready to support them safely and responsibly,'' Faulconer said. ``The response we've seen to outdoor dining has been overwhelmingly positive, and this ordinance opens up so many more options for our small businesses as they work hard to rebound and recover.''The plan is expected to impact up to 4,000 restaurants in San Diego that employ more than 55,000 individuals.Previously, securing an outdoor sidewalk cafe permit could cost businesses more than ,000 and take several months to process. This ordinance will help reduce applicant costs and the review process.``Small businesses account for 98% of San Diego companies. Needless to say, the impact COVID-19 is having on our small, independent, and family-owned businesses is monumental,'' City Councilman Chris Cate said. ``Outdoor dining gives businesses a fighting chance to make it another day, and I applaud Mayor Faulconer for his innovative efforts.''The ordinance also allocates 0,000 in further assistance by absorbing permitting costs for the first 500 businesses that apply with remaining applicants paying significantly reduced fees. Part of the funding is specifically for outreach and education on the program for small and disadvantaged businesses.The city will enter into an agreement with the Strategic Alliance of San Diego Ethnic Chambers of Commerce -- comprised of the Asian BusinessAssociation of San Diego, the Central San Diego Black Chamber of Commerce, and the San Diego County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce -- to provide informational materials in multiple languages and target hard-to-reach communities and disadvantaged businesses.``Working together to support communities of color that have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 will help restaurants in these communities recover and continue to contribute to this vibrant economic and cultural landscape in San Diego,'' said Donna DeBerry, spokeswoman for the Strategic Alliance of Ethnic Chambers of Commerce.Upon implementation, the mayor's ordinance will:-- allow outdoor business operations for dining and retail in parking lots, on-street parking spaces, and sidewalks as well as neighboring business frontage with written permission of neighboring business owners;-- waive special event permit fees to allow nonprofit applicants to close streets and conduct business outdoors faster and cheaper;-- broaden allowances and reduce required permits for temporary signs;-- allow for expanded wholesale distribution of food, beverages, and groceries directly to consumers while allowing for social distancing;-- preserve mobility, safety and emergency access for pedestrians, and preserve requirements that ADA access and path of travel be maintained at all times;-- require full compliance with all state and county health orders and guidance. 3516
