Re: Beating the virus
We have the power to beat this virus. As reported by the Appeal-democrat earlier this week, one of our neighbors tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. Sending my best thoughts to Mr. Victorino and his family. Get well soon, sir.
Bottom line is that with the lack of available testing in the entire state, we have limited knowledge on who may be carrying this virus.
We know that it is very contagious and we as a community have the power to stop the spread by doing all the things that our health experts are ordering us to do, such as: limit your contact with others, stay at home unless you have to engage in essential functions. Essential functions include getting exercise, and if using public parks, be sure to use social distancing. You may also consider not using surfaces that have been used by many: such as playground equipment.
And, probably the most powerful power we have to beat this virus is to wash our hands and not touch our faces (I have a real hard time with the last one, but I am trying really hard).

If you have symptoms, call your doctor or local clinic first. They will give you the best advice. They will also guide your next steps. Please follow their direction no matter how frustrating it may seem.
Stay Safe and Healthy, Marysville. We can beat this thing together.

Ricky Samayoa, sion. That makes this flagrant breach of proper firearms protocol even more shocking.
In consulting with a veteran hunter safety instructor, I was informed: There are other poses that would have conveyed the same support for the activity and the girl with proper safety shown.
If some students did this in one of our classes, they would be thrown out immediately.
I hope the Sutter High School rifle team coaches will take this opportunity to rethink their safety instruction, and delete these offensive photos from their publicity portfolio.
It is precisely such lapses in judgment that contribute to firearms accidents and tragedies. Now that Madelynn Erickson is an iconic local figure, her image needs to convey proper respect for her sport.
