to plan their drill and involve others. At the minimum practice "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" at the specified time, which is 10/19 at 10:19 a.m. this year. It is only a one-minute commitment for something that can save your life. For more information, visit www.ShakeOut.org.
Are You Ready to ShakeOut? With 318 million people living and working in the United States, a major earthquake could cause unprecedented devastation. What we do now, before a big earthquake, will determine how well we survive and recover. Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills in October 2016 involved more than 55 million participants through broad-based outreach programs, media partnerships, and public advocacy by hundreds of partners. The drill is held annually on the third Thursday of October. This year, the International ShakeOut Day will be at 10:19 a.m. on October 19. A key aspect of ShakeOut is the integration of comprehensive science-based earthquake research and the lessons learned from decades of social science research about why people get prepared. The result is a “teachable moment” on par with having an actual earthquake
(often followed by increased interest in getting ready for earthquakes). ShakeOut creates the sense of urgency that is needed for people, organizations, and communities to get prepared, to practice what to do to be safe, and to learn what plans need to be improved. Not just any drill will accomplish this; it needs to be big. It must inspire communities to come together. It must involve children at school and parents at work, prompting conversations at home. It must allow every organization, city, etc., to make it their own event. We are all in this together. The 2017 ShakeOut drill will be the largest preparedness event in world history. To participate, go to www.ShakeOut.org/ register and pledge your family, school, business, or organization’s participation in the drill. Registered participants will receive information on how
Supervisors Approve $42 Million Of County Road Resurfacing San Diego County’s Board of Supervisors Wednesday unanimously approved roughly $42 million of road resurfacing and rehabilitation work to be done next year on a six-page list of roads in unincorporated areas. The list includes roughly 195 miles of roads stretching through four of the County’s five districts. The list will be sent to state officials to qualify for roughly $13 million in funding from the new state gas tax that took effect this year to help rebuild roadways throughout the state. The Road Repair and Accountability Act, Senate Bill 1, was signed into law by the governor in April. The rest of the funding will come from a variety of County sources. The Board’s approval of the list clears the way for the County Department of Public Works to solicit bids from companies to do the resealing and resurfacing work. The road work is expected to begin in spring 2018 and be completed by the end of the year. The complete list of roads run through numerous communities, some of which include: Alpine, Bonsall, Boulevard, Crest, Fallbrook, Jamul, Julian, Lakeside, Lincoln Acres, Pine Valley, Ramona and Spring Valley. Of the roughly 195 miles of road work, 115 miles will receive asphalt overlays; 80 miles will receive slurry seal treatments — all designed to make the roads live longer, be quieter for drivers and improve traction and safety. The $42 million project is part of a larger five-year County plan to improve road conditions in the unincorporated areas where the County maintains nearly 2,000 miles of roadways. San Diego County expects to receive $538 million from Senate Bill 1 over the next 10 years.

Simple: Drop, Cover, and Hold On Drill This drill uses simple steps to inform all employees how to perform Drop, Cover, and Hold On – a quake-safe action designed to protect lives from falling furniture and flying objects than can become projectiles during ground shaking. BEFORE the Drill 1. If you will participate in a ShakeOut drill, register your Business as an official participant at www.ShakeOut.org (make sure to register in your state or region). 2. Inform your employees regarding: • The date and time of your drill. • How to correctly perform Drop, Cover, and Hold On, wherever they are. • Your expectations for their participation (i.e. Drop/Cover/ Hold On, gather at a central location for a head count, postdrill discussions). • If your drill is part of a ShakeOut encourage employees, customers, etc. to invite friends, families, and neighbors to register as individuals or organizations at www.ShakeOut.org, in their region, so they can participate as well and receive information directly on how to be safe during an earthquake. 3.

Eagles Dominate Patriots Julian won its league contest with Ocean View last Friday by a score of 46-0. The game had to cancelled at the half because of injuries to the Ocean View team. For the third week in a row, the Eagles were dominant on both sides of the ball. The Ocean View Patriots were never able to advance to the Julian side of the field and other than a fumble, the Eagles offense was never stopped. The Eagle's offense was led by Jr. QB Shane Cranfield's passing. He was six for eight for 126 yards and four touchdown. Tailback Ozzie Martinez had another great game rushing for two touchdown and having two of the best punt returns seen by a Julian athlete in years. The defense had what could only be described as a great team effort. Whether the Patriots were trying to pass or run, they found no openings to be successful. Big hits by Gage Baay, Caleb Biliunas and Roman Sanders were the main factors in the game being called early. Julian is now 3-0 in league and is looking forward to this Friday's showdown with Borrego. The game will be at Julian High with a start time of 3 PM. This is the last home game of the season and we will be celebrating all senior athletes who are playing Fall Sports. Unfortunately the Cross Country team will not be able to participate as they will be at the Mt. SAC race that day. We hope you attend and cheer your Eagles on in their effort to bring a championship home to Julian for the first time in years.

Nicole Strickland is a paranormal researcher and the founder of the San Diego Paranormal Research Society (SDPRS). On Saturday, October 21, at the Julian Library, she will discuss haunted locations in San Diego’s North County. Her presentation will begin at 10 AM. Equipment used for paranormal investigations will also be available for viewing. Please call the Julian Library at 760-765-0370 for more information. The library is located at 1850 Highway 78, in Julian. Paranormal research has consistently reigned as a hot topic in our society and culture, especially with the advent of the popular and entertaining ghost television shows. Even though these televised programs are entertaining to many, they do not accurately portray reallife supernatural research and investigation, thus earning the moniker of “para-tainment” as far as the San Diego Paranormal Research Society is concerned. We know that innate fascination with ghosts and hauntings dates back thousands of years, as Man has always been intrigued with the survival of life after death. When you talk to the majority of authentic and genuine paranormal investigators, most of them will disclose that they’ve had a unique spiritual encounter at some point in their lives. As for myself, my innate childhood interest in the paranormal catapulted into active research after a profound ethereal encounter with the spirit of my beloved grandmother, Helen LoPinto, during my senior year of college. I have had the privilege of working with several Southern California paranormal research teams since the early 2000s. In October of 2009 I founded the San Diego Paranormal Research Society (SDPRS), a local team that takes a very professional, caring and protocol-driven approach to private residence, business and historical cases of alleged paranormal activity. We do not claim to be “ghost hunters,” as the term, in our opinion, lessens the credibility of the field while denoting a “thrill-seeking” behavior. The SDPRS is not out to prove the existence of ghosts and spirits; but, through scientific, metaphysical and intuitive approaches, we study and examine our findings along with various theories applicable to paranormal research in order to create a profile of various possibilities that can help explain why or continued on page 8
