the contest. The effort was there, unfortunately, execution was not. Julian saw its’ fate sealed early as the Rams scored early and often, while the Eagles offense sputtered. Brad Kaltenthaler returned after breaking a bone in his hand and put up some quality stats, running for 108 yards on the night - but unable to get the ball over the goal line.

This Is Fire Prevention Week
Not Every Hero Wears a Cape! CAL FIRE Encourages Residents to Plan and Practice Fire Safety during National Fire Prevention Week (October 6-12, 2019)! Move over super heroes, and look around, every Californian can be a hero if they know and practice fire safety skills. As Fire Prevention Week soars in October 6-12, planning and practicing a safe escape is the key to getting out of a house fire or wildfire in time. “Being aware of your surroundings is an ability people need to use wherever they go,” said CAL FIRE Director, Thom Porter. “No matter where you are, look for two ways out. If the alarm system sounds, take it seriously and exit immediately. If you are in a wildfire situation, leave early.” Complacency can result in disaster. Now is the time to educate yourself and your family about the small but important actions to keep everyone safe. Start with a home escape plan and practice it monthly, during the day and at night so it becomes muscle memory. Have an outside meeting place that your family knows where to go and to stay at, and have a communication plan in place. In a wildfire, don’t wait to evacuate. If it’s an uncomfortable situation, leave early and make sure to take your pets and important items with you. “Your ability to get out safely depends on advance planning and warning,” said California State Fire Marshal Mike Richwine. “Per the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), only one of every three American households have actually developed and practiced a home fire escape plan. While 71% of Americans have an escape plan in case of a fire, only 47% of those have practiced it. We can do better.” By being a hero, you can be someone who takes small, but important actions to keep yourself and those around you safe from fire? When it comes to fire safety, be the hero in your household and your community. Here are a few things you can do: Make an escape plan, practice your plan monthly during the day and at night to make sure that children and adults react to the smoke alarm and know what to do. • Draw a map of each level of the home. Show two ways out of every room. • Have an outside meeting place like a mailbox, tree, or light. Call 911 from your meeting place. • Children, older adults, and people with disabilities may need assistance to wake up and get out. Make sure that someone helps them. • Install smoke alarms inside every sleeping area, in hallways outside of sleeping areas and on every level of your home. • If people are trapped, firefighters have the best chance of rescuing them. Firefighters have the training, experience and protective equipment needed to enter burning buildings. Become a hero by learning fire safety skills to protect you, your family, and your community.

of a 32 - 0 score, with the Homecoming activities ready to start. After a quick dance number by the cheer squad the Homecoming court was announced and then the Queen - Rylie Boyd and King - Dusty Flack where crowned. The second half of the game was once again dominated by Borrego. After their first touchdown the clock was running without any stopage. The crowd showed their spirit by hanging on to the end and chering the team as they sang the alma mater after the game. Final score Borrego Springs 48, Julian 0. Next week the team is scheduled to travel to Chula Vista to play Calvary Christian.
A brush mouse collected in routine monitoring in Julian has tested positive for the potentially deadly hantavirus, prompting County officials to remind people to never sweep or vacuum up after rodents if they find them in their living spaces. Hantavirus is not uncommon in San Diego County. However, people are unlikely to be exposed to hantavirus if they keep wild rodents out of homes, garages, sheds and other living spaces and structures. Wild rodents, particularly wild mice, are the main carriers of hantavirus. They shed the virus through their saliva, urine and feces. When that matter dries and is stirred into the air, people can inhale it and be exposed to the virus. Because of that, Vector Control officials said people should never sweep or vacuum up rodent droppings so they don’t stir hantavirus into the air where it can be breathed in and make people sick. Instead, if people must clean up after rodents, they should “wet clean”: ventilate the areas, use bleach and water solutions or disinfectants, and use rubber gloves and plastic bags. Wild rodents generally live away from people, but can seek shelter in homes, garages and sheds. Hantavirus can cause deadly infections in people and there is no vaccine or cure. Here are tips for people to keep them from being exposed to wild rodents and hantavirus, and how to use wet-cleaning methods: Avoid Exposure to Hantavirus Seal up all external holes in homes, garages and sheds larger than a dime to keep rodents from getting in. Eliminate rodent infestations immediately. Avoid rodent-infested areas and do not stir up dust or materials that may be contaminated with rodent droppings and urine. Clean up rodent droppings and urine using the wet cleaning method described below. Use “Wet-cleaning” Methods to Prevent Inhaling the Virus Do not sweep or vacuum infested areas. Ventilate affected area by opening doors and windows for at least 30 minutes. Use rubber gloves. Spray a 10 percent bleach solution or other disinfectants onto dead rodents, rodent droppings, nests, contaminated traps, and surrounding areas and let the disinfectant stand for at least 15 minutes before cleaning. Clean with a sponge or a mop that has been soaked in disinfectant. Place disinfected rodents and debris into two plastic bags, seal them and discard in the trash. Wash gloves in a bleach solution, then soap and water, and dispose of them using the same double-bag method. Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water.
