For the Community, by the Community. (92¢ + tax included) Jr High Science Fair Goes Zooming To Deliver Awards
This year Julian Jr. High’s Science Fair was brought to an abrupt halt! As Jr. High students set up all their projects to be judged by the Julian High School’s FFA students the following Monday, we were getting word that no one would be back in school the following week. These students spent no less than 7 weeks of work researching their topics, testing their designs or hypotheses, typing a minimum of 8 page reports, and putting together their display boards. This is my second year hosting the science fair, and I can say the projects get better each year! I was really impressed at the process and learning as students took on the role of a scientist in a subject area that is 100% self guided. The science fair has changed since I was a kid and now includes 2 qualifying entry methods. One is the classic scientific method, where students wonder about a topic, ask questions, make a hypothesis and test it multiple times, while collecting results to come up with a conclusion that is backed up by data. The second type of project is an Engineer and Design section. These projects have students define a problem in the world, research the science behind it, come up with a solution, design and build a prototype, test it’s functionality, and then redesign as many times as needed until they are satisfied with the data results. We hosted an awards ceremony via Zoom to honor the students who won awards in both categories.

Welcome To Phase 2 - Selected Reopening With the easing of more restrictions in the statewide stayat-home order, retail and related manufacturing businesses in San Diego County could begin opening Friday, but only for delivery or curbside pickup. Retail and manufacturing businesses are being allowed to reopen because they represent a lower risk of spreading COVID-19. They include shops that sell books, shoes, clothing, music, jewelry and sporting goods among others. When businesses open their doors, they must do it safely. They are not allowed to have customers inside and must prepare and post a Safe Reopening Plan to ensure the safety of employees and the public. The plan also ensures proper sanitation, physical distancing and general business practices. Businesses should also review and refer to the state checklist for their specific industry, such as the Retailer guidance and checklist, when completing the County plan. “Businesses should make sure that the social distancing and face covering guidelines are being followed,” said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer. “These
guidelines remain in place to protect San Diegans from getting and spreading the virus.” Business owners needing clarification of the reopening guidelines can email questions to: COVID19BusinessQuestions@ sdcounty.ca.gov. The state announced new guidelines that would allow some counties to reopen at a faster rate. However, no large jurisdictions in California is expected to meet the new metrics, which include no COVID-19 deaths over a 14-day period. As a result, San Diego County’s reopening is expected to stay consistent with state guidance. COVID-19 Testing in San Diego The County’s Live Well Mobile Office will be offering COVID-19 testing in Southeastern San Diego on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Euclid Health Center, 292 Euclid Ave. An appointment through 2-1-1 is necessary, and slots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. COVID-19 testing remains available at local hospitals, medical groups, some community clinics and private labs. The state also has three testing sites – in Escondido, El Cajon and Chula Vista – that are offering
free testing by appointment Monday through Friday. You can schedule an appointment online or by calling (888) 634-1123. Planning also is underway to deploy the County Library’s bookmobiles and other County vehicles for testing throughout the region. Stage 2: Lower-Risk Workplaces It allows curbside retail, including but not limited to: • Bookstores • Jewelry stores • Toy stores • Clothing stores • Shoe stores • Home and furnishing stores • Sporting goods stores • Antique stores • Music stores • Florists Note: this will be phased-in, starting first with curbside pickup and delivery only until further notice. Businesses need to complete the County’s Safe Reopening Plan, print and post it at their entrance. Businesses should also review and refer to the state checklist for their specific industry, such as the Retailer guidance and checklist, when completing the County’s Safe Reopening Plan.
Supply chains supporting the above businesses, in manufacting and logistical sectors, can also reopen. They should refer to their industry's guidance and checklists when completing their Safe Reopening Plan. Each business's plan may need to be updated and reposted when state guidance changes. The County will not require approval for this plan. Businesses with questions can email: COVID19BusinessQuestions@ sdcounty.ca.gov

Monday May 11th I will be having an employee meeting to update the employees on the changes and upgrades we have made to date. I am also going to be asking them which employees will be willing to come back to work so I can develop an updated work schedule. Monday, the signage required by the County will be ready to pick up. Night crawlers and essential bait will be ordered for pick up on Wednesday. We have ordered two card readers to help expedite the customers due to the size and limitations of our bait and tackle shop. Thursday May 14th, we will be giving orientation to the bait and tackle shop employees on the new register system we have recently purchased and start opening for business by the following weekend so we have our feet on the ground and the kinks ironed out by the following weekend… Memorial Day Weekend. We will take a limited fish plant from Mt. Lassen before Memorial Day weekend with an extended remittance time to help us get back on our feet. Required County paperwork on social distancing and sanitation has been filled out, The required County “Safe Reopening” (they disclosed it Friday night) paperwork is done, signage will be posted by Thursday the 14th. We are being required initially to only allow 50% of the parking and camping amenities that we have here to provide for social distancing… it’s been a long and dusty road, but we are getting there.
