World Fiddle Day Contest At Town Hall

The Annual Julian Fiddle and Pickin’ Contest held in conjunction with District 7 of the California Old Time Fiddler Association rosined up the bow Saturday morning and had peoples feet stomping and toes tapping all day long to the conclusion at eight o’clock that evening. The fourth contest since its’ resurrection has developed a reputation to attract some of the wests best fiddlers as judges and contestants. This year was no exception as the open division feature all contestants under the age of 30 and the eventiual winner Shira Ellisman, only 17, and she was not the youngest to enter.

Anointing A New Mayor

As the official Honorary Mayor of Julian, dually elected by the people of this area, under our great and wonderful democratic system… MONEY… I, being the highest official in the town deem a new LAW in Julian Township. This LAW puts ME in charge of electing our next MAYOR! I have taken it upon myself to wire tap the whole community so as to come up with what I feel is the best candidate for our town. I cannot say how long this wire tapping has been going on as I will need to use this system again for our next candidate screening. But I can tell you I have come up with some pretty interesting information on the people of Julian! I promise I did not recruit any other countries, oops I mean counties to help me with this screening process. Therefore no one needs to worry about their character being jeopardized. I have included the Julian News in helping me promote my candidate since I believe the newspaper Editor and Chief was already in question from the last election. Which by the way, another of the former candidates skipped town very suddenly, one is still performing his debauchery & lawless ways on our streets (although I do suspect a Mayor spot in his future), and the last one is strung out doing community service day and night and wouldn’t have bothered with this job. Reinforcing that I WAS the right candidate! Therefore, I propose that since I am your first official long term acting Mayor, that I get to retain my “quasi” position as advisor, cabinet counsel, and of course any money I might be due! I choose the next Mayor, then that Mayor and I choose the next successor, and so on. Because we know Old Politician’s never really go away! If this does not meet approval by our Township, or by the powers of the almighty Chamber of Commerce, then we will be forced to hold another election! And I cannot promise the community that it will not get UGLY!

SO upon my discretion, careful background check, wire tapping investigation, and of course bribery, I choose Thurston Thompson to by this year’s Honorary Mayor of Julian. Taking over immediately ALL encumber sum responsibilities and duties. I will gladly help teach him schmoozing if needed, although after hearing his phone calls, I am confident there will be no need for my help! AND his job enables him the qualifications to handle all the “trash” in our community! I have even known him to have had to “rough up” some individuals who were carousing too much in the evenings on the Julian streets! I believe him to be the PERFECT candidate to represent our community. Non better in my mind as there is no conflict found as my family relative twice removed. There will be an inauguration... possibly The 4th of July Parade... or some other civic event. But that will have to be discussed. So as of now, time and placed to be announced! If there is any conflict with my decision, well let’s just say, be ready for one nasty election! Sincerely, Stacy Slaughter Peyakov Your Trusted and True 1st Honorary Mayor of Julian 2014-present

Chula Vista author Mark C. Jackson is intrigued by western themes, yet he doesn’t know exactly why. “It struck a chord and I’ve stayed with it,” he said. Jackson is a native of Oklahoma indicated that writing a book wasn’t quite as easy as writing a song, but the desire to write has always been there. When thinking about writing a book, he was always encouraged since he has a way with words in his song. Most recently, he received a glowing review from Booklist, a publication of the American Library Association that provides critical reviews of books and audiovisual materials for all ages. Booklist’s primary audience consists of libraries, educators and booksellers. “It says Jackson’s first book is not for the feint of heart; I will continued on page 7
