Power Outage Planned In Julian And Surrounding Areas Due To Santa Ysabel Substation Repairs
On Tuesday, February 11, SDG&E construction crews will be working to make repairs to the Santa Ysabel substation, which will result in a planned power outage from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. in Julian and surrounding areas. The planned outage is expected to affect about 2,700 customers. We will work to restore your service as safely and quickly as possible. However, unsafe weather conditions or unforeseen events may prolong the power outage or force us to cancel the outage on the scheduled date. Prior to the scheduled outage, we recommend residents unplug all sensitive electrical equipment, such as computers and televisions to prevent damage or data loss. Once power is restored, checking alarm systems and garage door openers is recommended. Those customers who are enrolled in our Medical Baseline
program and have devices that depend on electricity are asked to contact our Planned Outage Coordinator to confirm they have received the outage notification and are encouraged to make any necessary arrangements during the planned outage. The outage coordinator can be reached weekdays between 7 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. at 858-654-1785.
If you need assistance after hours or over the weekend, please call 1-800-211-7343. The latest power outage information can be found at sdge.com/ outages. We understand being without power is an inconvenience. SDG&E says thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.
Oh... The Deals You Missed At This Years Senior Class Grand Auction
The Julian High School senior class held their annual “Grand Auction” Saturday and the bids came hot and heavy. With refreshments to keep everyone going, and plenty of items that folks just couldn’t live without. Total money raised was not available, but should have been substantial.

Music On The Mountain
Music Of The West African Kora Comes To Julian Library Sean Gaskell will give a performance and educational demonstration on the kora, an ancient 21-stringed harp he learned to play from multiple teachers in Gambia, West Africa. He will feature traditional songs that are the heart and soul of the kora’s musical repertoire in addition to some of his own personal compositions. The performance will take place at the Julian Library, 1850 CA-78. in Julian, CA on Tuesday, February 11th at 6:00pm. Sean Gaskell features traditional songs on the 21 stringed West African kora. The kora is native to the Mande peoples who live within the countries of Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Guinea, and Guinea Bissau. The music is traditionally played by oral and musical historians known as Griots (Gree-ohs). The kora is a melodic and seemingly peaceful instrument, which is somewhat contrary to its musical repertoire. Many songs tell ancient stories of war and hardship, while others praise people of high political status and those who helped expand the Mande Empire. While the Kora is only 300 years old, some commonly played songs can be traced back 800 years to the Mande empires' founding. Gaskell has studied extensively under the instruction of Malamini Jobarteh and Moriba Kuyateh of Brikama, The Gambia, and Kane Mathis of Brooklyn, NY. Gaskell has been featured at numerous festivals in the US, Gambia, and Senegal.
