Fred and Misty Dornan Are Merchants Of The Year

by Michael Hart

On Tuesday (July 17) an appeal was filed with the California Court of Appeals to overturn the previous decision by Judge Kenneth Medel which prompted Registrar of Voters Michael Vu, to cancel a November vote after first agreeing that enough petition signatures were submitted to qualify for the ballot. It also sought to stop the LAFCO process to consider dissolution of the district. A three Judge panel of the Appellate Court made their ruling on Thursday - “The petition for writ of mandate, emergency stay order, or other appropriate relief has been read and considered by Presiding Justice McConnell and Associate Justices Nares and Aaron. The petition is denied.” - NARES, Acting P. J.(presiding justice) This means that the process continues with the LAFCO board considering the JCFPD board’s request (backed by the county Board of Supervisors) to have the JCFPD become part of the County Fire Authority (CSA 135). Next step will be the public hearing at the LAFCO board meeting on August 6 (9am at the County Administration Center, Room 310 - 1600 Pacific Highway). If the LAFCO board moves the process forward property owners will then be asked to vote on the proposal - letters have already gone out in the mail, notifying them of the board meeting. The next legal steps are unclear for those opposed to the dissolution of the district, since they have been twarted in all attempts to stop the process to this point.

CalTrans To Work Overnight SR-78 Pavement Project Nighttime Work Begins Sunday Beginning Sunday, July 22, Caltrans will schedule nighttime work on State Route 78 (SR-78) from Flora Vista Street in Escondido to West Haverford Road in Ramona and a from just east of Magnolia Avenue in Ramona to Wynola Road(at Banner Grade) in Julian. Crews will work Sunday through Thursday nights from 8 until 5 in the morning for pavement repairs. Some daytime work is anticipated during the four-month project, but the majority of construction activities will take place during nighttime hours to minimize traffic impacts to the traveling public. The work will be noisy at times. The project will require reducing SR-78 to one lane in one-mile segments. Personnel will be present to direct alternate directions of traffic through the single open lane when safe to do so. Motorists could experience delays at the closure points and are advised to allow additional travel time to reach their destinations. Portable rumble strips will be placed approaching the closures to alert drivers to slow. Some driveways may be temporarily blocked during paving operations. The work includes removing the top layers of old pavement and applying an overlay of high quality rubberized asphalt which will add durability to the roadway and create a smoother ride for motorists. Chip seal will be added to portions of roadway that do not require an overlay. Additional safety improvements feature high visibility striping and installing permanent rumble strips along the highway centerline to warn drivers if their vehicle is drifting outside of the lane. Caltrans thanks the traveling public and community members for their patience during construction. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and Be Work Zone Alert. The work schedule is subject to change due to traffic incidents, weather, availability of equipment and/ or materials, and/or construction-related issues.

Come And Play ‘Candy Land’ Throughout The Library

Please join us at the Julian Library on Thursday, July 26 at 11 AM for the finale event in our summer learning program. We are playing a game of life-sized Candy Land! It is a re-imagined version of the classic Candy Land board game that is actually life-sized and you are the game piece. It will be played throughout the entire library, and everyone is encouraged to participate. The community room will be set up as a starting and staging area, with the real board game, Candy Land, to play as well as coloring pages. The Candy Land board game was designed in 1948 by Eleanor Abbott, while she was recovering from polio in San Diego. The game was made for and tested by the children that were in the same hospital. Candy Land is a simple racing board game currently distributed by Hasbro. Designed for young children, “The game teaches color recognition and matching while reinforcing the lesson of taking turns and being a gracious winner or loser.” We hope you will be able to join us on Thursday, July 26 at 11 AM to play life-sized Candy Land with us. The Julian Branch library is located at 1850 Highway 78, Julian. For more information, please contact us at 760-765-0370, or visit us on Facebook @SDCL.JulianBranch.
