Post Christmas Snow Brings Them To Town Thursday (26th) was a snow day for Julian which meant the city folk came to town, many unprepared for what cold weather really is, others to sled, throw snow and generally have a good time in our little winter paradise. Thursday proved to be a challange for many who came up the hill, as roads, still icy from the overnight snow fall of over six inches, made for the need to at least carry chains, if not put them on, before attempting to get to town. Sunrise Highway was closed and the 79 required chains, plows did not get the roads cleared until mid-morning. Friday all roads now cleared the real onslaught began, traffic was backed up on both sides of town with reports of 30 plus minute travel time for the final two and half miles. Saturday and Sunday were only slightly less caotic as the snow melted away, still pleanty of people crossing in the middle of the block, cars waiting for the rare parking spot, people slipping and sliding ... Another storm on the horizon to start the new year means more of the same as we prepare for the new decade and an extra day (February 29) this year.

The mountain lions of Julian and the vicinity are once again participating in scientific research. For the first couple of weeks in January several mountain lions will be sedated and fitted with a transmitter collar that will relay important information to a scientific team. This research is being conducted by Justin Dellinger, Ph.D who is the statewide lead scientist for mountain lions and wolves at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The Mountain Lion Foundation and the Julian Mountain Lion Project are pleased to host a presentation by Dr. Dellinger on Tuesday January 14th from 6-7:30pm in the community room at the Julian Public Library. Come and hear about his current research project, what it entails, and what he hopes to learn. After the presentation, he will stick around to answer any questions you might have. This free event promises to be highly informative and educational. Invite your friends and family. No reservation is needed. To assist Dr Dellinger he has requested that, after January 1 but before January 20, if you see a mountain lion that you let him know ASAP. His number is 916 261-3610. ASAP means within hours of the sighting so that he can possibly get over to the area where the lion was seen while it is still nearby. Even a day later may mean that mountain lion is several miles from where it had been sighted. If you have any questions please contact Jane Santorumn at 760 230-3301.

Meet Julian resident, David Dobler, at Music on the Mountain on Tuesday, January 7 at 6 p.m. He will perform at the monthly concert in the Julian Branch Library. Mr. Dobler moved to Julian last May. He wants to bring restoration to broken and hurting people through his music. As a preemie baby, he was given too much oxygen, thus his blindness. He began playing piano at the age of two, became serious about it at five, and decided that was what he wanted to do. He started songwriting at the age of 18, and his faith led him to writing songs of encouragement. An inspiration in 1990 led to his writing of the song “Mender”. On the phone, a friend used that word which led Mr. Dobler to the piano to write the words and music. He relates it has a profound effect on many listeners. In 2016 he met Cyndi, and he believes his faith is leading them to wonderful things. Come listen and enjoy Mr. Dobler’s music. (doblermusic@gmail.com)
