The squad descends at 8:30 on a Wednesday morning in late September. One at a time, the girls arrive, jumping out of their parents’ cars almost before they’ve come to a complete stop outside our garage. It’s been months since they’ve been together, and though their smiles are hidden by masks, their excitement is evident. They chatter and bounce up the stairs carrying their backpacks, school-issued laptops, and lunch bags. I’m not sure who’s more relieved that they’re together again, I or they.

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Sewage contamination from the Tijuana River caused the closure today of the Silver Strand and Coronado shorelines, San Diego County environmental health officials said.
The Department of Environmental Health and Quality said signs warning of the contamination would remain in place until samples of the ocean water indicate that it is safe for recreational use.
The department extended previous water closure notices at the Tijuana Slough and Imperial Beach areas to include the Silver Strand and Coronado beaches because flows from the Tijuana River continued to move north.
“Sewage-contaminated runoff in the Tijuana River has been entering the Tijuana Estuary and observations indicate contamination of ocean water now extends from the international border to the Silver Strand and Coronado shorelines,” the department said.
