Return of the Eclipse Chasers

from Rick Marinelli Chief-JCFPD

I would like to take a moment and update you on some important information concerning the Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District (JCFPD). As some of you may know the San Diego County Fire Authority (SDCFA) has been assisting the JCFPD by means of providing a fire engine staffed with paramedics in Julian, a cash subsidy of $60,000, dispatch services at no cost provided by Cal Fire and the use of a County owned water tender. In addition Cal Fire and JCFPD have maintained an automatic aid agreement for many years. Automatic aid means each agency responds to each other’s calls automatically. There is no need to request mutual aid unless additional resources are needed. Recently the SDCFA informed the JCFPD that all County assistance would end on January 1st 2018. If the JCFPD chose to, it could opt to file dissolution documents with San Diego County LAFCO and, after the dissolution process was complete, the SDCFA would assume JCFPD jurisdictional responsibilities for fire and EMS response in the District. In addition, Cal Fire will not renew the automatic aid agreement effective January 1, 2018. During the September 12, 2018 Board of Directors meeting, the BOD voted to reject the County offer. So what does this all mean to you? Effective January 1, 2018, all County assistance will stop. Additionally, Cal Fire automatic aid will stop. The JCFPD will handle all calls in the District and be required to request mutual aid from adjoining agencies in our area. The JCFPD is working on staffing options and fund raising efforts to raise the level of service in the District. Until significant funding is received the JCFPD will rely on our community volunteers and our reserve volunteers to handle the 500-600 calls per year. As the District Chief I will do everything in my power to ensure all calls are handled with the highest regard to the protection of life and property and within the capabilities of the JCFPD.

Pie Contest Winners The winners of this years Women’s Club Pie Baking Contest: First Place - Olivia Dolutkhan: Hill Cottage Apple Pie Second Place - Allyson Jasper and 2nd Grade Class of Spencer Valley School: Spencer Valley Old Fashioned Apple Pie Third Place - Erin Thompson: Toffee Apple Pie Although there were fewer entries this year, the results came out of the oven just a tasty as always.

Was it all the hype on the TV, or the need of city folk to escape? The charms of a small town? The opportunity to experience picking your own fruit? What ever it was the weekend was crazy. Traffic backed up down to Santa Ysabel on one side, from Wynola Road up Banner to lower Whispering pines and on the 79 beyond Jess Martin Park - you would think there was snow! The folks that got there early had a chance to shop the vendors and check out the various exhibits.

Music On The Mountain

Chamber Music Takes The Stage at The Library

Please join us on Tuesday, October 3 at 6 PM for the monthly Music on the Mountain at the Julian branch Library. This month we are featuring The San Diego Chamber Music Society's hour-long concert program for 2017-18: "From Beethoven to Broadway, music for Horn and Piano", featuring selections from famous composers of the past; Corelli, Beethoven, Mozart, Strauss, Mendelssohn, SaintSaens, Cherubini, and 20th century American composers like Leroy Ostransky, Burt Bacharach, Leonard Bernstein, Richard Rogers and Henry Mancini. This is a light-hearted look at some of our most requested pieces from over 25 years of horn-piano concerts; there is something here for everyone to enjoy. The performers are Bruce Dorcy- horn and Beverly Reese Dorcy- piano. As usual, there will be an interesting dialogue about the pieces and the composers and an amusing anecdote or two. Beverly Reese Dorcy- a Minnesota native, is an active freelance timpanist and percussionist in both the San Diego and San Francisco Bay areas, she is also a former performer with the Fresno Philharmonic, Tacoma Opera, Bellevue Philharmonic, San Francisco Women's Philharmonic, Monterey Opera,

Golden Gate Opera and Classical Philharmonic. She has also performed extensively with the San Diego Chamber Orchestra, San Diego Symphony, San Diego Opera and Sun Valley Summer Symphony in Idaho. Bruce Dorcy- french horn, was a member of the National Ballet of Canada and Canadian Opera Orchestras for 24 years (asst. principal/third horn) and the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra for 11 years (principal horn) and also played on Broadway in New York for 6 years ("Fiddler on the Roof", "Promises, Promises", "Man of La Mancha"). Occasional performances with the New York City Opera, Seattle Symphony, Seattle Opera, Toronto

Symphony, San Francisco Opera, Western Opera Theatre, Opera San Jose, Monterey Pops Orchestra, Monterey Opera, Classical Philharmonic, San Diego Chamber Orchestra, Las Vegas Philharmonic etc. We invite you to join us to hear these accomplished musicians for a program that promises to be educational and inspiring. Performances at the library are always free and audiences are thoroughly entertained by the fabulous musicians that appear here. Come for the music, stay for refreshments and enjoy your time at the library. The Julian Branch Library is located at 1950 Highway 78, next to the High School. For more information, please call 760-75-0370.

Please join us on Saturday, Sept. 30, 10:30 AM at the Julian Library as we welcome the Return of the Eclipse Chasers! In early August, you learned about what makes an eclipse and why it is such a significant event. Now, you will see the Images and stories from Fred Delgado, Andrew Pittman, Ernie Huang, Bill Carter, Todd Rogelstad, and more. All of these people traveled to the path of the full eclipse, and have different stories about the different states and locations they visited. You will get to see dazzling Images and stories from the 2017 Total Eclipse of the Sun and hear about the effect of twilight at noon on street lights, humans, and animals. But best of all, you can be an arm chair traveler and learn what they experienced. We hope you will join us on Saturday, September, 30, 2017 at 10 30 AM at the Julian Branch Library. The library is located at 1850 Highway 78. This program will be in the community room. For more information, please call the branch at 760-765-0370. You may also contact Doug Sollossy via email curiositypeak@gmail. com if you would also like to contribute!

Melodrama Mixing In History Last week we said this year’s Melodrama, The Flume of Doom, was loosly based on Julian history. Is that true? Well, yes, but the flume was not built to bring water to the citizens of Julian. It was built to carry Julian’s water to San Diego. Twenty years of important Julian and San Diego History. 1870- City of San Diego population is 2300. San Diego County population is 4951. 1870- Black prospector Fred Coleman discovers placer gold near present-day Julian, setting off local “gold fever”. First lode mine, the George Washington Mine, is discovered in February of 1870. By 1875, mines in the area produce over $2 million in gold. By 1876, many of the mines are closed, though significant gold production continues until about 1911. 1880- City of San Diego population is 2,637. San Diego County population is 4951. 1882- San Diego Telephone Company begins operation and San Diego’s first public library opens. 1883-1884- John Montgomery makes world’s first “controlled flight” in a “heavier than air” craft, flying 600 feet in a glider at Otay Mesa and Leach’s Opera House opens on July 17, 1884, with a performance by a local group calling itself The San Diego Minstrels. 1885- 1886- Transcontinental railroad reaches San Diego, first electric street lights installed and first streetcars begin operating over two-mile track on Broadway.
