Planning Group Looks For Road Repairs Road repairs, a visit to Julian by State Senator Joel Anderson and the Santa Ysabel Nature Preserve were the major topics addressed at the monthly meeting of the Julian Community Planning Group (JCPG) on Monday evening, May 8, 2017. The JCPG approved a Committee on Road and Street Repairs which has both JCPG and public members. A letter concerning the desirability of bringing both 2nd St. between C and D and C St. north of 2nd St. up to County standards was also approved and will be sent to Supervisor Dianne Jacob. The JCPG agreed to prioritize a list of road repairs in the larger Julian Planning area at the next meeting. The County Board of Supervisors has approved the Environmental Impact Report on the construction of a Visitor Center in Santa Ysabel and put the project out to bid. Senator Joel Anderson will hold a public forum on June 17 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Community Room in the Julian Library. The public is encouraged to attend. Senator Anderson will be able to address issues under California State purview, including but not limited to maintenance and repair of state highways, education, CalFire and the annual fire fee now being assessed, State Parks, and environmental regulations. The JCPG has one vacant seat and is searching for volunteers to fill it. Interested individuals should attend the next meeting, which will be June 12. The JCPG meets on the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the basement of the Town Hall and the public is welcome to attend. Agendas are posted at the Post Office 72 hours or more before each meeting. The County is supposed to post the minutes of the meetings on its website. The JCPG only has advisory status vis a vis the County but it is a way for the citizens of Julian to express their opinions on specific matters concerning planning and development.

Julian Historical Society

Special Presentation: “Witness to Gettysburg” Ms. Annette Hubbell will present her portrayal of Hattie, the wife of a Union soldier in the Civil War. Ms. Hubbell has done extensive research into the role of women during the Civil War. Hattie's story is one of devotion, heartbreak and survival. The Julian Historical Society is pleased to be able to present this special program to the community.

Friday, May 12th the Julian High School track and field team competed in the Citrus League Finals hosted by Julian at the Ramona High School Track. Our small team of 14 athletes gave an impressive showing finishing second to 6 teams with Mountain Empire bringing home the league title. 5 athletes will be moving on to San Diego CIF Section Prelims next Saturday at Mt Carmel High School competing in 10 events. These 5 athletes all earned first team all league honors in their events with first place finishes. Throwers Katie Huggins and Cary Gannon both won the Shot Put and Discus events and both finished the league competition undefeated. Cary has had an exceptional season with a PR in both events. His Discus PR of 129’5.5” is 12’2.5” further than his previous PR set his sophomore year, and his Shot PR is 8’ 4.5” further set his Junior year. Freshman Calea Cruz got out quick and finished strong to win the 100m. She will also be running the 200m at CIF prelims. Our top 2 distance runners, Ethan Elisara and Maya Moniz both won the 1600m and 3200m. Maya has had an impressive freshman season, qualifying into the “fast heats” in every invitational including the frosh/soph meet of champions 2 weeks ago. Ethan is also running his first track season as a Junior and has broke both the 1600m and 3200m school records. His winning 1600m time of 4:33.90 today puts him in the top 25 of 606 D-2 milers in the county this season. Maya and Ethan have also had undefeated league competition. We have said all season we are small but mighty and this team proved it Friday.

Protect Your Home From Mosquitoes After a visit to Gettysburg some years ago, I was so moved by all that was around me—it seemed even the wind whispered of that fearful struggle— that I wrote a one woman performance entitled Witness to Gettysburg, and have since performed it more than 160 times. My character, Miss Hattie Elizabeth Turner, is based on a real person; every other event and person in my story is real. Miss Hattie follows her husband to Gettysburg. On the second day of battle, young Miss Hattie finds herself a widow. In spite of her grief, she cannot help but stay to help care for the 30,000 dead and wounded left at Gettysburg's doorstep. What is a small town to do? What is she to do? Four months later, November 19, 1863, Miss Hattie watches in awe as Mr. Lincoln stands before a congregation of 10,000 and delivers those immortal words in unmatched eloquence. His words, which continue to inspire and uplift us, bring a deep sense of appreciation for the fight endured. In Lincoln's God-fearing, humble manner he showed a remarkable strength of character and leadership that stayed the course and saw this country through a most difficult period. As a young man Lincoln once said: “I will study and get ready and someday my chance will come.” Indeed it did, Mr. Lincoln. He was there when this country needed him. If a child were to pick just one person to emulate, Abraham Lincoln would surely provide that child with enough examples of integrity, responsibility, honesty, perseverance, faithfulness, and humor (yes Lincoln loved to tell jokes) to last a life time. I have performed variations of the play for students. Many teachers use the outlines and vocabulary lists I provide to add insight and depth to the performance. I find that the students studying the Civil War quickly become part of the story - as if they were there. Enraptured by the story, the times, the strength and courage of people their own age, this live performance gives them a sense of passion and commitment that sparks their curiosity, helps them think about their own journey in life, and creates a sense of appreciation for the sacrifice others have made. “Witness to Gettysburg” Special presentation in conjunction with the Julian Historical society - Wednesday May 24, at 7:00 pm, at the Julian Town Hall, A $5.00 donation (per person) will be asked for at the door.

The VCP: Protects public health by surveying for diseases carried by vectors; Reduces peoples’ exposure to vectors and human diseases; Responds to public requests for vector inspections; and Educates the public about mosquitoes and other vectors to help residents protect themselves from the diseases vectors can carry. One of the issues that comes with a very wet winter and spring is the increased amount of water and with that comes increased a mosquito population. Ferrill will provide helpful information on ways to keep your property free of mosquito larvae, preventing the growth of biting mosquitoes. This talk will be held in the library’s community room and is geared to youth and adults. The Vector Control division promotes the Fight the Bite campaign. In addition to speaking at the library, they will be hosting a booth at the Wellness Fair at the Elementary School. We hope you will join in this informative talk and stick around to get any questions answered about how to control the insects and rats that may cause disease and what animals are natural predators. This program is on Wednesday, May 17 at 2:30 PM in the Library’s community room. The Julian library is located at 1850 Highway 78, Julian. For more information, please call 760-765-0370.
