Julian Tea & Cottage Arts Celebrates 25th Anniversary On November 2nd 1995, Edie Seger and Christine Hersh first opened Julian Tea & Cottage Arts. Initially we served tea just twice a month and offered arts and craft items from many artists. Our first Victorian Tea was served at the Julian White House. We gradually added several tea lines, tea accessories, and china. Soon to follow were all the linens, books, stationery, baby and children items, and housewares. Joni Hildreth helped plan and prepare the afternoon teas. We also had several dinners throughout the year. As we grew, we started serving tea everyday and expanded our inventory. Sue Lutz and Jo Larson joined the team. Joni continued on and developed many of the menu items we serve today. Our staff grew through the years to include Diana Garrett, Barbara Mitchell, Sandy Crossland, Sandy Graack, Jo Ann Bernard, Amy Hollenbeck and Lynne Secker. Among the many young ladies we have employed are: starting with Katie Loftus, Katie Bakken, Dana Horton, Jackie Bosworth, Corinne Maxwell, Jill Corlew, Katelynn Jasper, Kylene Schuler, Kjell Reeves, Marissa Jasper, Caitlin Sanders, and now Jessica Bakken. Then 9 years ago daughter Kathy moved here and has assumed many of the tasks including all finances, tea ordering and staffing as well as doing shopping with her mother! Our current staff is Jenny Jones, Jan Byrne, Terry Connolly, Karen Gaither, and Kathy Louv. Come by for open house or any day and have a cuppa! We thank our loyal customers through the years and welcome many new guests. Thank you to you all for being part of the Tea Shop Family.

Supervisor Jacop onening the meeting Friday morning over 60 of Supervisor Dianne Jacob’s constituents showed up at the Town Hall for some coffee and pastries (furnished by Apple Alley) to discuss the issues that most impact the community. Over a third dressed in JCFPD STRONG attire, would make one think it was going to be a raucous affair. Instead the meeting began focused on SDG&E and their current “Public Safety Power Outage” plus the future of such occurrences. “Mitch” Mitchell from SDG&E was invited to share with the assembled group some history and took suggestions and complaints for the first 45 minutes. One of the issues addressed was a possibility of dividing up the back country into “Micro-grids” to better isolate any outages the could be necessary and possibly eliminate the altogether. Borrego has a system inplace using solar power and to some degree the Main Street is also isolated with a generator back up. The first part of the meeting was interupted frequently by fire equipment going through town on its’ way to the “Sawday Fire” off old Julian Highway (90+% contained by Sunday night). A discussion of the impact of
Mitch Mitchell from SDG&E “Air B&B” type short term rentals gave the Supervisor new insight on the impact it is having in the back country on affodable housing and long-term rentals. An issue she was not aware. The only complaint her office had received was from the Mt. Helix area and the noise/party complaints. The traffic at Highway 67 near Mt Woodson was discussed, with the idea of possible revenue generation from the new parking area planned once completed. The JCFPD issue is what it is at present, in the courts and most likely to be decided by a judge. The Supervisor highlighted the County’s ongoing Alzhimers program. And she invited all in attendance to the opening of the Santa Ysabel Open Space Visitors Center in December.

On Saturday, November 9, 2019, the Julian Community Heritage Foundation (JCHF) will host their second fundraiser benefitting the Julian Town Square Project. The group is spearheading the muchanticipated project to breathe life into the empty corner lot in the center of town. After three decades, the time is right to turn the space into something beautiful for Julian. Contaminated materials have been cleared from the vacant lot formerly owned by Chevron and county officials have given the green light to develop this property. JCHF has been working with the current owner to purchase the property. They have also been working with the Julian Architectural Review Board, the Julian Historical Society and the San Diego County Planning Department to comply with historical standards and permit requirements. They’ve partnered with CASA for Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods, a San Diego non-profit organization, and have raised over $186,000 in donations and pledges so far. Join JCHF and many community members at the Julian Town Hall from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm to learn more about the project and how you can help be a part of this wonderful transformation for the community. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. Visit the Foundation’s website at juliantownsquare.com. Follow the progress of the Julian Town Square on Facebook (@ juliancommunityheritagefoundation) and Instagram (@julianchf).
Three days without power meant - it was time to gas up the generator to keep your refrigerator operating and any other minor power requirements met. The sound was audable in every neighborhood. (except Cuyamaca Woods)
