Citizen Journalism Defined In The Library Tuesday Night
Please join us as we welcome journalist Peter Rowe from the San Diego Union-Tribune on Tuesday, June 26 at 6 PM to speak about Citizen Journalism. Have you ever wondered how reporters come up with the news they publish? Or maybe you’ve wanted to try reporting news yourself? Then come to this session on how to be a citizen journalist! Learn the basics of the news business from local working journalists who will answer your questions on what goes into covering the news of the day. Learn the difference Peter Rowe between real news and “fake” news, and how you can be a responsible citizen reporter. Peter Rowe joined the U-T in 1984. Surviving numerous ownership changes, he has yet to be fired. A native Californian who grew up in Encinitas, Rowe is a graduate of UC Berkeley and Northwestern University. He is past president of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists and a former Fulbright scholar. He has won a few journalism awards, but would trade them all for a chance to avenge his 1994 "Jeopardy!" loss. Married to a terrific woman who has saved him from errors in writing and in life, he has three sons. At the U-T, Rowe writes profiles and features and is even paid to review beers, which hardly seems fair. (SDUT Bio) Rowe will be presenting a program that was developed by the Society of Professional Journalists Citizen Journalism Defined: Imagine you're walking by the San Diego Harbor and a protest suddenly forms in front of the main administration building. You decide to pull out your camera phone and record the incident, and then provide it to a news outlet or share it on social media. You've just contributed to citizen journalism. Citizen journalism is news reporting that is done by the people instead of professional journalists. This type of journalism can uncover facts not typically revealed by professional journalists because the public uses alternative sources to find information. Citizen journalism can be delivered to the public via regular news outlets, online news outlets, social media, and video streaming sites such as YouTube. We encourage you to attend this program and become better informed how to discern fact from fiction how to report information, and how to present facts without (undue) bias. This program is presented by the San Diego Press Club, San Diego Society of Professional Journalists, and the San Diego Union-Tribune. The Julian branch library is located at 1850 Highway 78, Julian. For more information about all things library related, please call 760-765-0370.

Gray Wolves Born At California Wolf Center As Wild Counterparts Make History In Our State
ISSN 1937-8416
Budget Approved At JCFPD
by Michael Hart
At least two gray wolf puppies have been born at California Wolf Center. These two pups join their parents, Wintu and Yana, as part of the North American gray wolf pack residing at the nonprofit’s conservation center. Born on or around May 6th in a den dug by their parents, these two puppies represent a much larger story of conservation in our state. Gray wolves are returning to California after being eradicated by government run anti-predator campaigns in the 1920s.
California Wolf Center is a leader in wild wolf recovery throughout the Pacific West and the Southwest. The newly born puppies and their pack are part of educational programs hosted at the nonprofit’s conservation center in Julian, although they remain off exhibit at this time. Beyond their physical site, California Wolf Center staff also work in the field supporting communities living with returning wild wolf populations. Ranchers are the stewards of much of the open space where wild wolves have returned to and will return to in the future. California Wolf Center values building on common ground, so wolves, livestock and people can thrive on shared landscapes. California Wolf Center’s Range Steward program is the first of its kind in the Golden State and is driven forward by a leadership team of Northern California ranchers. Range Stewards are trained ranchers working to rekindle the ‘herd instinct’ in cattle, thus reducing the chance of wolf-livestock conflict. These actions increase connection and tolerance of ranchers, ensuring livestock are safe and wolves achieve long term recovery.
The JCFPD board approved the budget for fiscal 2018-19 with the caviat that actual expenditures will change because of the recent working agreement with the County Fire Authority. The board meeting held Tuesday the 12th was attended by 20 or so citizens. The board also reviewed the audit from the 2016-17 fiscal year. The audit did include a warning for the district Note 17. Subsequent Event/ Going-concern On September 12, 2017, the District’s Board of Directors opted not to join the San Diego County Fire Authority (the County), but to remain as independent fire district. As a result of the opt-out, on January 1, 2018, the county withdrew a fully staffed paramedic fire engine, its automatic response commitment, and a water tender truck. The county also ended a $60,000 subsidy of the volunteer department. As a result of these factors, it raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern without the resources that the County provides. On February 13, 2018, the District’s Board of Directors voted to negotiate with the County of San Diego for terms and conditions for possible dissolution. The District is seeking mutually agreeable terms for the use of County resources for the District’s independent fire suppression efforts or in the absence of such agreement, mutually agreeable terms for dissolution of the District If neither of these agreements reached, the District has the option to withdraw from negotiations and remain independent.
The pups residing at California Wolf Center will continue to be cared for in as wild a way as possible allowing their relationships with their parents and each other to be the priority. These new additions join over twenty wolves living at California Wolf Center, many of which are part of the Mexican Wolf Species Survival Plan, a captive breeding and reintroduction program for the critically endangered Mexican gray wolf. With less than 150 individuals in the wild, California Wolf Center’s role in the program is crucial.
ABOUT CALIFORNIA WOLF CENTER: California Wolf Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to the return of wild wolves to their natural habitat and to the people who share the landscape with them. We foster communities coming together to ensure wolves, livestock, and people thrive in today’s world.
