Historical Society The Julian Historical Society’s monthly meeting and special historical presentation will be Wednesday, January 23 at 7:00 pm in the Witch Cree School House on 4th Street. The featured speaker will be a historian from the Camp Pendleton Historical Society. The program will focus on the historical and architectural significance of the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps amphibious base.

The pasta and sausce awaited all who came out the fire station, Sunday evening.

Planning Group Looks at Granny Flats, Town Square And More The Julian Community Planning Group (JCPG) considered proposals for a park in Julian, a new building in Wynola and a recent County decision removing permit fees from second houses—or “granny flats”—on properties in the unincorporated County at is meeting, Monday, January 11. As part of the effort to increase the amount of affordable housing in the County, permit fees will be ameliorated by the County for second houses on local property and lots. There are no size restrictions as to the lot size, assuming that sewer or septic tank requirements can be met, but the buildings have strict size limitations. Dana Pettersen of the Julian Community Heritage Foundation (www.juliantownsquare.com ) provided a provisional sketch of plans for a park on the empty lot at the corner of Main and Washington streets. Plans include a small amphitheater and places for farmers’ stalls among other things. The Community Heritage Foudation is raising funds for the purchase of the property and construction of the park. Plans for a building on Highway 78 in Wynola were also submitted; as neither set of plans was finalized, no action was taken on them. Julian has been proposed as a Dark Sky Community and the County is taking steps to implement the proposal. If adopted, regulations about lighting will apply to new construction. Similar regulations have been in place in the town of Julian for some time. Current officers were reelected for 2019, no one else expressing interest in the positions. They are Chairman Pat Brown, Vice Chair Bob Redding and Secretary Kiki Munshi. It was also decided to advertise in the Julian News for the current vacancy on the JCPG. The problems posed by the non-County maintained portion of Second St. were discussed as was the need for funding for forest management in the Julian Planning Area.

Bill and Susan Carter at Victoria Falls Hotel Please join us at the Julian Branch library on Thursday, January 24 at 3 PM as we host an Armchair Travel program. Bill and Susan Carter traveled to Africa last summer and shared with Colleen Baker some of their photos. Baker was so impressed, that she asked them if they would share with the community. The Carters’ will be presenting pictures taken on their trip to Southern Africa. In May 2018 they went on a 21-day tour with Overseas Adventure Travel to Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Capetown and Johannesburg, South Africa. The trip also included the Okavango Delta and Victoria Falls. Their images will primarily show the wildlife they saw, and that Bill photographed, during safari game drives in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe, Kafue National Park, Zambia, Chobe National Park in Botswana and Moremi Game Preserve in the Okavango Delta. They will also describe the permanent safari tent camps they stayed at during the tour, and local people they met and customs they learned about during visits to native homesteads and a village school. We hope you take this opportunity to learn more about traveling to Africa. Even if it is not on you your bucket list, you will surely enjoy the journey through the camera lens. We look forward to hosting you at the Julian branch library on Thursday, January 24 at 3 PM. For more information, you may call the branch at 760-765-0370.

Department of Homeland Security Grants California Extension on REAL ID Compliance

Sacramento – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that it will grant an extension on REAL ID compliance to April 10, 2019. This extension allows all valid California driver licenses and identification cards to continue to be accepted for federal purposes, such as boarding commercial aircraft and entering federal facilities. This extension, however, most likely will not be reflected on the DHS website until the partial federal furlough ends.
