SAN DIEGO (KGTV)-- On a clear, sunny day in February, the sound of a bell announces the arrival of Naval Commander John C. Witte as he boards the USS Annapolis. He's in charge of the roughly 160 sailors who serve aboard the submarine, one of several boats stationed at Naval Base Point Loma."Submarining takes a lot of mental toughness and these guys will work long hours but they'll do what it takes to get the mission done," Witte told 10News. As you can imagine space is limited on board, nearly every inch is utilized, especially in the command area.

But that's not to say the crew doesn't ever use their eyes. The periscope is still something the submarine crew utilizes regularly. "We may want to look at what other ships are doing we may want to try to observe other navy's activity stuff like that," Witte said. Everyone on board has a specialized skill, but because of the isolation that comes with being underwater for long periods of time, everyone has to take on multiple roles.

When it's time to eat, the culinary specialists use the limited supply of ingredients to make every meal and also bake things like fresh bread and cookies pretty often. "We don't carry a lot of pre-made bread because it takes up too much room so a lot of our bread is made fresh a lot of our cookies are made fresh so its a pretty good," Witte explained.

SAN DIEGO (KGVT) - For many students across California, school is either back in session or will start soon in a virtual setting.With uncertainty about what the school year will look like for all children, the parents of students identified as needing special education services are raising serious concerns about their child’s access to necessary supports and resources."Right now, school is virtual," said Sally Sachrison. "It’s been quite a challenge".Sachrison's 12-year-old son just started the 7th grade. That's an achievement, but the emotions she's feeling are not the typical excitement of going back to school."It's just overwhelming because distance learning doesn't always work for everybody, and I feel like they have abandoned our kids that really the special services," Sachrison said.Her son has Down syndrome and is autistic. His unique needs can’t be met over a computer, Sachrison said.“The conflict is that my son needs like a special education teacher, he needs a speech pathologist, he needs an occupational therapist, and these are specialized, trained professionals," she explained.Sachrison said she’s already noticed her child regressing just since schools moved to remote learning in mid-March to prevent the spread of COVID-19. By May, he was slurring his speech and having trouble with other tasks, she described.Regression and lack of services are a concern heard by attorney's and advocates from parents across the state."How do you take a parent and say hey we're going to train you to do occupational therapy even though you're not licensed to do it?” said Nicole Shelton, the executive director of Advocacy Associates Inc. "You don't have that background and still have that done virtually."Advocacy Associates Inc. is an origination that helps families of students with specials needs get the services to which they are entitled by law.In California, once a child is found eligible for special education, the family will participate in the process by attending an individualized education program or IEP.It's both a process and a written document.Shelton explained the IEP team, which includes representatives from the school and district, meets once every three years to conduct an assessment to ensure the student still qualifies. The team must also meet annually to review progress on goals, create new goals, and see what accommodations the student needs.She said parents are concerned that won't happen."I think it's important for parents to be requesting IEP meetings right now," Shelton said.There are also concerns about services not being provided and compensating students if they've regressed because they weren't provided with appropriate services and support."I think parents absolutely need the first step to be asking for that emergency IEP," she said. "We need to talk about services, and we need to talk about accommodation."In Sachrison's case, the district told 10News, "Providing equitable educational experiences to all students including students with disabilities is a key priority for us and we want the service you receive to reflect that principle. Due to the current school closure emergency that prevents in-person instruction, student Individualized Education Plans will be implemented through distance learning to the greatest extent practical via online resources and other means. The IEP will be provided by means of ‘distance learning’, as determined by your child's teachers, in light of the emergency circumstances."A district spokesperson explained, “‘Distance learning’ means instruction in which the pupil and instructor are in different locations. ‘Distance learning’ may include, but is not limited to, all of the following: (1) Interaction, instruction, and check-ins between teachers and pupils through the use of a computer or communications technology. (2) Video or audio instruction in which the primary mode of communication between the pupil and certificated employee is online interaction, instructional television, video, tele-courses, or other instruction that relies on computer or communications technology. (3) The use of print materials incorporating assignments that are the subject of written or oral feedback. This applies to the special education and related services in the IEP to the greatest extent possible in light of the emergency circumstances. Under current public health and CDE guidelines we cannot provide services either at the school, or in person, for more than 10 days due to the qualifying state of emergency. The parent will be notified as to the specific means by which the student's IEP will be provided, given the emergency circumstances present at that time. The IEP will be provided by alternative means as necessitated during the period of emergency conditions only."The district said IEP meetings are being scheduled to take place virtually and it is dependent upon the IEP team to determine whether new goals will be developed on an individual basis.When asked how the district plans to handle learning regression from the spring and forward and whether the state has provided any guidance a spokesperson explained, "When ‘regular’ school hours resume there will certainly be a need to discuss each students' services since distance learning falls short of providing optimal outcomes. At that time students with disabilities, in addition to ALL students in the general education setting, will have to undergo some form of instructional/educational recuperation. Our district is currently considering multiple options to meet this need."A spokesperson for the California Department of Education said students who are receiving special education services through their school district have an IEP and the services and/or accommodations they receive are listed in that IEP."The federal government has not waived the federal requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and local educational agencies (LEA) should adhere to IDEA requirements. In the upcoming school year, local educational agencies in consultation with their local health agency may offer in-person instruction, distance learning, or a combination of both. Section 43503(b)(4) specifies that distance learning shall include "Special education, related services, and any other services required by a pupil's individualized education program pursuant to Section 56341, including the requirements of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (9) of subdivision (a) of Section 56345, with accommodations necessary to ensure that individualized education programs can be executed in a distance learning environment." 6617

SAN DIEGO, California — Dozens of voters were left off the roster at a San Diego County polling place on Election Day, leading to frustration and delays.The problem was reported Tuesday morning at Pacific Trails Middle School at 5975 Village Center Loop Road in Carmel Valley.Poll workers received an incomplete roster which omitted 46 names, Registrar of Voters Michael Vu confirmed. The list was missing two and a half pages.Voters waited for voting officials to reprint another roster and deliver it to the polling place.Officials tried to ease the long line by calling the Registrar of Voters and getting approval for each person over the phone, a voter told KGTV television station.Voters also had the option of voting provisionally, but many of them declined, telling KGTV they wanted their votes to count. Provisional voting requires extra processing time to verify residences and identities.The San Diego Superior Court announced Monday it would have a judicial officer on hand to deal with any possible election-related issues, including registration, denial of registration of voters, certification or denial of certification of candidates or the certification or denial of certification of ballot measures.Voters were encouraged to contact the Registrar of Voters at 858-565-5800 with any concerns. 1337

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (KGTV) - Andrew Van Woerkom has always known he was adopted, but never dwelled on the past for too long.“The biggest wonders I always had was I wonder what she looks like, it would be cool to see somebody that looks like me. I wonder what her name is,” he said.The now 32-year-old San Diego man, like many, has had a roller coaster of a year in 2020. For him, the chaos stems from multiple aspects of life.His family grew from four to five this year after his wife gave birth to their third child. But this baby wasn’t the only addition to the family.Andrew signed up for a genealogy website and through the years has reached out to any distant relatives who pop up, hoping to gain some insight into his biological family. No one ever responded, until this past summer.“She says I’m your aunt so and so. I was there for your birth coach. This is your mom’s name. This is her number and email address and here’s a little message from her and it’s way more information than I ever thought I would get and it’s just this flood of emotion,” he said.This message turned out to be the key to his past. He found out his birth mom, Melissa Willis, had him at 19 and knew she wasn’t ready to become a parent, so she chose to keep the baby and give him up for adoption. She later went on to get married and have five more kids, but always wondered what had happened to her first son. So, in 2020, hearing from him answered many of her own questions.“Then I lost it. Because for 32 years I wondered is he dead in a ditch, is he in jail, is he abused, is he happy,” said Melissa.Both of them vividly remember their first time on the phone together.From Melissa’s perspective: “he said I’m grateful for the choice you made me and the life you gave me, and I said I did everything I did out of love, all I wanted was for you to be happy and healthy and have everything I couldn’t give you.”Andrew says for him, he felt like he had to get out a lifetime of emotion in a handful of minutes.“First five ten minutes of the phone conversation was just sobbing and just expressing all this gratitude and emotion that I didn’t know was pent up inside and all these feelings I had for a person that gave me life. That gave me such an awesome opportunity to have a shot and have a chance at life,” he said.Since then, the two have started introducing each other to their families.This excitement coming at a hard time. Andrew’s adoptive mother is battling cancer for the fourth time, so he’s balancing the joy of finding his birth mom with the stress of supporting his adoptive mom, but thankful for the positive parts of life this year.“At a time when we’ve had so much fear and worry about what’s going to happen in the future, to have those joys… our son being born, meeting my birth mom… just how impeccable is that timing? It’s really gotten us through this year,” said Andrew.Both say that their new relationship is not replacing any other relationships, rather adding to them.When asked if she would change anything about her past, Melissa said she has no regrets.“The very best life I could’ve given myself and my baby is the one that I gave. The one I gave him and his family and me and my family. And I’m so grateful for that choice I made 31 years ago,” she said.This holiday season, everyone has found a new meaning of the word ‘family.’“Family is what you love. Family is what’s close to you, what you hold dear and yeah *we’re definitely not a cookie cutter, molded family. There’s definitely more of a different dynamic to it but I’m okay with it,” said Andrew. 3579

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (KGTV) - A new group of leaders has the California GOP ready to take on the 2020 elections and rebound from a disastrous 2018 cycle.Over the weekend, the GOP elected Jessica Patterson as their state-wide Chair. She's the first woman and first Latina to ever hold the top spot in the state party.They also elected a Taiwanese immigrant, Peter Kuo, as Vice-Chair. And the new Treasurer, Greg Gandrud, is openly gay.Analysts say that gives them a more diverse group of leaders that can reach out to more voters across the state.But newly elected Secretary Randy Berholtz, who lives in San Diego, says their election within the party had nothing to do with demographics."I think what the delegates did is pick the best person for each of the positions," Berholtz says. "It just so happens that the people were of different ethnicities and sexes and ages and everything else."Berholtz says he saw an energized party at the convention, ready to bounce back from 2018.In that election, Republicans lost 7 seats in the US House of Representatives. Loses in local legislative races also gave democrats a super-majority in the California House and Senate. Republicans only hold 19 or 80 seats in the House and 11 of 40 seats in the Senate.The election also continued a streak of no Republicans winning statewide office since 2006.Berholtz says a strong Republican party is a good thing for the state."California needs to have a good second party," he says. "If not, nobody's watching the party in power. And we want to tell the voters that we're watching."In the last election, Republicans only made up 24% of the registered voters. That put them behind Democrats and people who registered as "No Preference."Political analyst John Dadian says it could take as long as 10 years for the GOP to turn that around."The main strategy has to be to bring some of those, 'prefer not to state' voters back," says Dadian. "It's all in the messaging, because California isn't just a blue state, it's a deep-blue state."Berholtz says his party will use a focus on family, personal initiative and good government to turn the tide. He also says they'll look to a more grass roots campaign to try and elect leaders from the bottom-up."We're energized right now," he says. "We're all going out and speaking, finding great candidates, doing voter registration, improving our message and just telling people in California that there is a viable alternative and we have not given up on you." 2489
