Julian’s Founding - 150 Years Ago

Julian Circa 1870

Two Dark Sky Events On The Horizon

We just passed the autumnal equinox, and we're celebrating with two great events this month. Saturday, the 19th we'll be having a star party at the beautiful Orchard Hill Country Inn, at 2502 Washington St. in Julian. Space is limited, so please rsvp us if you're coming. We'll have a last look at Jupiter, take in Saturn and her rings, and then move out beyond our Solar system to view some deep sky wonders: globular and open star clusters, the Ring nebula, and way beyond the Milky Way to our galactic neighbor, the great Andromeda galaxy. Bring binoculars if you have them, or use ours and learn to navigate your way around the Autumn night sky. The following Saturday, Oct. 26, at 1:30 pm at the Julian library Megan Peralta, JDSN webmaster,writer and photographer, will get us up to speed on what natural darkness is good for, and why we need to defend this most valuable, but not well understood natural resource. Do you love our wildlife, a good night's sleep, and our priceless views of the Milky Way? If so, you won't want to miss Megan's well researched presentation! Last, but far from least, Julian's night sky is getting national attention. Check out this short, but to the point write up about Julian on p. 91 of the October issue of Alaska BEYOND, Alaska Airline's monthly magazine.

The Story Of The Missing Crown

Julian Circa 1900 In celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Founding of Julian, local Historian and Preservationist David Lewis will reprise his informative narration of early Julian History. Mr. Lewis’ casual and entertaining lecture style lends new found insight into important historical town founding characters. With well researched antinodes, facts gained by personal travel investigation and interviews with descendants of early Julian settlers, Mr. Lewis brings otherwise forgotten people from another time to life and lends

significance to the importance of preserving the past of our community. So come with us back to Julian’s beginning. Meet Fred Coleman, the prospector who first discovered gold in the headwaters of a creek that now bares his name. Let us introduce you to town founders Drue Bailey, his brothers and Cozen Mike Julian after whom the town was named (and why). Learn more about these and many other early, colorful characters as they journeyed across the country in the post-Civil War era

to discover a pristine alpine valley in the mountains of San Diego that Westgate Magazine would later call “The Jewell in God’s Pocket” – a place these early settlers could call “Home” once again and in some way make our community what it is today. Join us on Wednesday, )ctober 23 at 7:00 pm, at the Witch Creek School building, 2133 Fourth Street, Julian, CA 92036. Coffee and cookies will be served. Admission is free, donations and new members are always welcome.

On Thursday the local Facebook groups went crazy when the following post appeared: “$100 REWARD for the return of the case that contains the crown, sash, crown pin and crown necklace of the newly crowned Teen Miss Julian, Donna Cruz! Case missing from Julian High School Football field on 10/5/2019 (Homecoming Julian Vs Borrego Springs). Please any information please call 619-933-6390 or contact Amber Cruz. If found PLEASE drop off at the Town Hall / Chamber of commerce office, Julian High ASB office, or any school office!! No questions asked!! Please Please help!” Shame was cast on the potential “thiefs” as speculation of who would have done such a dastardly deed to little “Teen Miss Julian” and at the Homecoming game no less? As it turned out, late Friday afternoon, it was not “stolen” only tucked away for safe keeping in the announcers booth at football field. The good sumaritan who saw the box with sash, crown and other itemds obvious recognized it’s value and put it in a safe place, thinking the owner would find it. Unfortunately They neglected to inform Donna or anyone else associated with her that they had secured the objects and where. Fortunately Friday the announces booth was opened for some cleaning and preparation for future use and there it was - safe and sound. Upon discovery Donna was notified and she retrieved the goods and was then ready to perform her duties for the weekend.

Motorcycle Accident Proves Fatal For 19 Year Old

Authorities Thursday publicly identified a 19-year-old Julian man who was killed when he lost control of his motorcycle, which crashed into a utility pole near the treatment plant entrance, by the Methodist Church. The crash happened around 5:15 p.m. Wednesday on westbound state Route 78, west of Pine Hills Road, California Highway Patrol public-affairs Officer Jeff Christy said. Wyatt Young Jones was riding a 2007 Yamaha R6 motorcycle westbound at a high speed when he lost control of the bike at a curve in the road, veered off the roadway and struck the stump of an old telephone pole on the north shoulder of SR-78, according to the CHP and the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office. Jones was transported by ground ambulance to Santa Ysabel so he could be airlifted to a hospital, but he was pronounced dead before that could occur, according to Christy.
