SDG&E Forum Some Answers/ More Questions SDG&E held a community forum to address wildfire danger and power outages at the Town Hall in Julian on the afternoon of Friday, March 2. A presentation on safety procedures was made by a representative from the Red Cross to the small audience, then Steve Vanderburg, Senior Meteorologist with SDG&E and Julian resident talked at length about SDG&E sophisticated system of weather measurement and the factors that go into a decision to cut power in the interests of safety. Vanderburg said that the decision to cut power to some circuits because of the danger of wildfires caused by debris in the power lines or downed lines as a result of high and/or erratic winds was always a difficult one and not based on a set formula. SDG&E considers many factors as they try to determine the best course of action. These include: --The projected speed, duration and intensity of the wind during a Santa Ana event --How much fuel (brush and grass) is on the ground --How dry it the fuel is/moisture content --Projected temperatures --Whether San Diego County fire resources are here and available in case of emergency or whether they are deployed to help on fires elsewhere in the state --Whether SDG&E air resources can be used, given wind conditions Complicating the decision is the fact that, given of the way circuits work, cutting power because of conditions in one part of the circuit can affect other customers down the line who don’t need to have their power shut off. Further, once the power is turned off to an area, turning it back on can be a long process. All circuits must be checked physically; to do that, there need to be appropriate conditions— daylight, a period of low to moderate wind, etc.—to send out teams. The long power outage in December was a particularly difficult one because the Santa Ana event was an unprecedented thirteen days in length. Usually Santa Ana’s last two to three days. During the question and answer session, members of the audience raised the problems caused by electrical outages, especially for persons with medical conditions, the difficulty for many in buying generators and problems associated with wells dependent on electricity. Several persons suggested that SDG&E provide a generator to an agreed upon center where people could go during such outages; the Julian Library was one suggestion, the Elementary School another. SDG&E representatives agreed that such a center would be a good idea. More forums will be held in Descanso and Warner Springs, plus a return to Julian in the near future with responses to the community’s concerns.

Spencer Valley Hosts 21st Anniversary Shakespeare Production

March 14, 2018

Daffodils After All Community Comes Through

January 2018 marked the kick-off for the 21st annual Shakespeare season at Spencer Valley School. This year the Spencer Valley players will put forth the well beloved tale of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The play chronicles the mad cap adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (the mechanicals) who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is takes place. Set to delight people of all ages, this year’s presentation will be directed by local stage and acting Director, Joe Gallina, sets a scene in Spencer Valley’s A Midsummer guru, Joe Gallina. Spencer Valley’s Shakespeare Night’s Dream. tradition allows students to become well versed in both the art and craft of theatre and participate in visualizing and creating their costumes and some set pieces. Shakespeare’s works contain such a treasure trove of rich language for students to explore, and they take delight in scrutinizing plot, setting, character, and point of view. Of course, this year they’ll be adding in a dash of whimsy, hopefulness, and a happy ending, too. Performances will take place at Spencer Valley School in Santa Ysabel on Tuesday, March 20th and Thursday, March 22nd at 6:00 p.m. Donations greatly appreciated at the door. All are welcome. Wednesday’s March 21st performance will include a silent auction and dinner theater show, with advance tickets only, at $35.00 each. Call 760-765-0336 for ticket reservations. Dinner begins at 5:00 p.m. with the silent auction at intermission. Revenue from performances of Spencer Valley’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream will raise money for the Spencer Valley Educational Association, a non-profit foundation that funds the Shakespeare production, after-school tutoring, transportation for field trips such as the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Floating Marine Lab, San Diego Archaeological Center, Balboa Park museums, Cabrillo Monument, additional fine arts and science supplies, library books, and high school scholarships.

In Memoriam Jay John Pengra

It is with great sadness to inform you that Jay passed away on Tuesday June 13th, 2017 from complications after a heart attack and heart surgery. Jay was a long time Life Member of the American Daffodil Society and will be very much missed by all who knew him. Our sympathy to his beloved wife Faye and his three daughters Renee, Carlene and Gina. It was Pengra who conceived the idea of the first daffodil show for Julian after the Cedar Fire. He had been wanting to start a daffodil show in Southern California and someone had mentioned to him Julian was known for its daffodils. After hearing of the devastating fire, Pengra and his wife Faye felt it might be a way they could help the community of Julian. "To us it seemed a great fit, the wonderful feeling of daffodils in the spring and the feeling of rebirth of Julian after the fire loss." Pengra contacted Sally Snipes, coordinator of the Julian Daffodil Project and the first show was held at The Julian Coffee House. Each year Pengra and his wife volunteered their time to make the show the success it has been. Julian’s Boy Scout Troop 690 is currently working on an extensive, Eagle-required cooking badge. One requirement for earning the badge is to learn about the education and experience needed for at least three jobs in cooking. To help the boys investigate culinary careers, Jeremy’s on the Hill generously hosted our Monday night meeting on February 26th, in the restaurant, at a long beautiful table set up for the troop and parents. Chef Donald talked about careers in cooking and his passion for excellent food as the boys feasted on some of the restaurant’s signature appetizers, generously supplied by the Jeremy’s staff. Troop 690 left the restaurant full of delicious food, new knowledge and an awareness of how committed Jeremy’s on the Hill is to our community. Thank you to Chef Donald, Jeremy, Teresa and the whole Jeremy’s team for investing in Julian scouts!
