CHICKEN POX OUTBREAK AT LOCAL MIDDLE SCHOOL Ten students have chicken pox, parents urged to check if their child is immunized ... The San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) is working with Poway Unified School District officials in their effort to notify parents of students who were possibly exposed to chicken pox. Ten students at Oak Valley Middle School have been diagnosed with chicken pox. “It is important to make sure those children who have been exposed are properly identified and symptoms are monitored,” said Dr. Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., San Diego County Public Health Officer. “This is a powerful reminder for parents to check with their physicians to make sure their children are up to date for the chicken pox vaccine. These students started kindergarten before it was a requirement to be vaccinated for school entry so it is possible that they may be under-immunized for this disease. The CDC now recommends that persons 13 years old and older without evidence of immunity get two doses of vaccine.” School officials notified parents of all middle school students by e-mail. Wednesday was the school’s last day of classes for the year. Symptoms of chicken pox include a skin rash of blister-like lesions, covering the body but usually more concentrated on the face, scalp, and trunk. The risk of complications increases after puberty and includes bacterial infection of skin lesions, dehydration and pneumonia. Most, but not all, infected individuals have fever, which develops just before or when the rash appears. If exposed, persons who have been vaccinated against the disease may get a milder illness, with less severe rash (sometimes involving only a few red bumps that look similar to insect bites) and mild or no fever. For more information on chickenpox and immunizations in general, please call the HHSA Immunization Branch at 619-692-8661 or visit the website at www.sdiz.org. Respiratory Therapist at Children’s Hospital Pleads Guilty to Molesting Incapacitated Patients ...San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie M. Dumanis announced today that a former respiratory therapist at Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego pleaded guilty to eight counts of forcible lewd acts on a child involving patients under his care at the hospital’s convalescent facility. Wayne Bleyle, 55, of Santee, will be sentenced to 45 years, eight months in state prison as part of the plea agreement.“The defendant’s crimes are some of the worst examples of child sexual abuse San Diego County has seen,” DA Dumanis said. “His young victims may have been helpless to stop him, but the criminal justice system was not. His guilty plea guarantees he will spend the rest of his life behind bars where he belongs.” The defendant worked at the hospital for more than 25 years at the time of his arrest in March 2006. He was unable to tell investigators how many child patients he had victimized while employed at the hospital. “This case was the result of outstanding police work by several experienced investigators,” said Deputy District Attorney Laura Gunn, who prosecuted the case....

DA Seeks Attempted Murder Defendant Considered Armed and Dangerous San Diego District Attorney Bonnie M. Dumanis announced today that investigators from her office are seeking the defendant in an attempted murder case who bailed out of jail and then failed to appear at a court hearing. Emanuel Rubio, 23, is charged with four counts of attempted murder and four counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm. He is facing up to 76 years-to-life in prison if convicted of all the charges filed against him. “This defendant is clearly a danger to the community. By not honoring the court order to appear for his preliminary hearing, he has also now shown his disregard for the criminal justice system,” said DA Dumanis. “We are asking for the public’s help in bringing him to justice.”
Rubio pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on February 5th. He posted $400,000 bail on April 5th and then failed to appear at a preliminary hearing on April 27th. A warrant has been issued for Rubio’s arrest. Anyone with information on Emanuel Rubio is asked to call their local police department, the National City Police Department at (619) 336-4474, or the U.S. Marshalls Fugitive Task Force at (619) 557-6060, extension 240.

Rubio is accused of shooting two men multiple times in National City on January 25, 2007, after one of the victims was reportedly talking to his girlfriend at a party. Prosecutors say Rubio got into a physical fight with one of the men, pulled a gun out of his waistband and shot him. After the victim fell to the ground, Rubio stood over him and fired additional shots. A second victim was injured when he began to run away and Rubio shot him twice in the back.
