Hey, people of Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch! It's me again, Bettyann Pernice, your host of the Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch Daily.

First, today's weather:

Partly cloudy throughout the day. High: 73, Low: 61.

Here are the top stories in Rancho Bernardo-4s Ranch today:

1. 'Your Voice Has Power' — They describe themselves as a group of concerned citizens who are protesting the release of a sexually violent predator into our community against mental health medical advice. A sexually violent predator (SVP) slated to be placed in RB is the same SVP formerly scheduled to be placed in Mount Helix. Your Voice Has Power suggests that concerned residents get involved and send their comments on the designated dates (between Sept. 30 and Oct. 14 ) to the San Diego Safe Task Force.

2. Former RBHS student in the spotlight — Matt Araiza, San Diego State junior, place-kicker/punter, was named MVP of the Week. Araiza helped SDSU improve to 4-0 in a victory over Towson. He made two of three punts inside the 20 and added a long of 72. These and four other successes earned him the title Most Valuable Player.

3. Got Rats? — They thrive in San Diego. And they are here in Rancho Bernardo, too. Rats spread disease, contaminate food, and cause costly structural damage. Wondering what to do to keep them out of your home? Call for a free educational rat inspection. Learn the signs of rat activity, learn how to eliminate the rat habitat, and receive a rat prevention starter kit. Learn more, click into the parenthesis then click on the link. (SD Vector)
