The “Amador” contract that had ket CalFIRE Stattion 50 open
since the mid 2000’s expired and was not renewed which caused the
closing of the station.
With the JCFPD now in negotiations with the County over their
future, the County has agreed to once again provide for service
through a new “Amador” contract for the Julian Station (#50).
This does not signal the end of the JCFPD, it does reinforce the
opinions of some that this was a power play by the County.
It also means that starting Monday (2/26) there will be back up for
JCFPD as the automatic aid agreement will also be in effect.
For residents it should save a trip to Witch Creek or Warner Springs
to get a burn permit.
The restaffing of Station 50 will not include any medical assistance
for the district. Staff will be strictly CalFIRE and not assisted by the
County’s Fire Authority.
Please join us at the Safety
Leaders Roundtable in Julian

(2:00pm to 5:00pm)
Recent wildfires throughout the
State of California have proven
to be catastrophic. In San Diego,
we have had the driest start to
winter since records began in
1850, dramatically increasing
the potential for wildfire. Our
preparedness efforts and agency
collaborations have made the
regional much more resilient,
but there is more we can do to
protect our communities from
wildfire.
Join local officials and
community leaders as we learn
from the American Red Cross
about regional preparedness
efforts and identify additional
ways to work together. Also
– come learn from SDG&E’s
highly-trained meteorologists on
how weather impacts the electric
grid, and how SDG&E leadership
evaluates technical data and
field conditions when making the
tough decision to shut off power
for safety purposes.
Please see the details below.
Members of the public are
encouraged to attend.
Agenda:
• 2:00PM – 2:30PM
o Open House, with experts
from American Red Cross, 211
and SDG&E
• 2:30PM – 2:40PM
o Welcome and introductions
• 2:40PM – 3:00PM
o American Red Cross, Ray
Chaney, Crisis Communications
Director – latest in preparedness
efforts and regional collaboration
• 3:00PM – 3:30PM
o SDG&E Meteorology,
Steve Vanderburg, Senior
Meteorologist – highlights
advances in weather technology
and how we all can be better
informed

Kumeyaay Knowledge And Use Of Native Plants
With Author Michael Wilken-Robertson
The Julian Branch library is
pleased to be hosting author
Michael Wilken-Robertson
on March 6, 2018 at 6:30 PM.
In his new book, Kumeyaay
Ethnobotany, anthropologist
Wilken-Robertson explores the
ancient and ongoing story of
Native Baja Californians and the
plants they use to make food,
medicine, and traditional arts.
The indigenous Kumeyaay
people of San Diego County
and northern Baja California
have long made their homes in
the diverse landscapes of the
region, interacting with native
plants and continuously refining
their botanical knowledge
over thousands of years.
Anthropologist Michael Wilken-
Robertson has spent decades
developing friendships and
learning from the elders that
carry on these traditions in
the far-flung ranches of Baja
California, working closely
with the Kumeyaay in the
revitalization of their cultural
heritage. His book, Kumeyaay
Ethnobotany: Shared Heritage of
the Californias, brings together
many generations of Kumeyaay
traditional wisdom and decades
of research by Wilken.
Called, “a work of
surpassing beauty that meets
the highest standards of
research scholarship,” by
Chumash Ethnobotany author
Jan Timbrook, Kumeyaay
Ethnobotany provides in-depth
descriptions of forty-seven
California native plants and
their uses. It also includes
lively narratives and hundreds
of vivid photographs from
artist and professor, Deborah
Small. The book connects the
archaeological and historical
record with living cultures and
native plant specialists who
share their ever-relevant wisdom
for future generations.
“Kumeyaay Ethnobotany
provides an enduring work that
is a gift of history,” says Former
Chairman of the Viejas Band of
Michael Wilken-Robertson
Kumeyaay Indians, Anthony Pico.
“Future Kumeyaay generations
will look back and know this
scientific contribution was very
instrumental on our journey
toward cultural revitalization.
We Kumeyaay are most grateful
to Michael Wilken-Robertson's
lifetime work.”
Wilken received his MA in
applied anthropology from San
Diego State University in 2012
with a thesis on Kumeyaay
Ethnobotany. The applied
component of his thesis included
an internship in which he
collaborated with the non-profit
organizations Corredor Histórico
CAREMandFundaciónLaPuerta
to create the Tecate Community
Museum and Ethnobotanical
Gardens. During his time in
Tecate, he collaborated with local
Julian artist, James Hubbell. He
currently teaches Anthropology
at CSUSM.
We invite you to join us on
Tuesday, March 6 at 6:30 pm
to learn more about the native
plants used by Kumeyaay
people. The Julian Library is
located at 1850 Highway 78. For
more information, please contact
the branch at 760-765-0370.
Chamber Hosts
Safety Leader
Roundtable
A Real Snow Day - Friday
Members of the Julian
Community Planning Group held
an information only meeting with
CalTRANS official on Thursday
February 15 to discuss: Turnouts
between Julian and Ramona.
The feeling of both parties
was there is a need for more
and improvements to what are
already there.
The first improvements would
be signage along the route,
especially coming East (up the
hill). New signs are available
that would include one that
would post a 5 car limit for cars/
trucks required (read a ticketable
offense) to pull out. The others
would identify that you are
approaching a turnout, and the
third identifying where it is.
Increasing the total number
was also discussed. Depending
on the scope of the project,
CalTRANS would be able
to complete the simple sign
placements with-in three to four
months.
The more involved projects,
that would include paving and
surveys may take as long as 2
years depending on complexity
and funds available.
CalTRANS was to report back
on potential projects whithin the
next three to four months and
review their proposed work.
Eagles Basketball Struggles Early
Comes Up Short In Playoff Game
The Eagles played catch up the entire game against the San Diego Academy
Cavaliers Saturday night at Warner High School’s gym.
The game started off with the Eagles and San Diego Academy tied
at two... less that two minutes later they were down 10-2 and never
got closer, until the games final buzzer.
1st 2nd 3rd 4th final
Julian 12 10 15 22 59
San Diego Academy 24 17 16 10 67
The boys from Julian never found their shot, the Cavaliers took
advantage in the first quarter by scoring, on what seemed like every
missed attempt.
The second quarter was more of the same as the Eagles appeared
desperate with numerous three point attempts and no one to rebound.
The second half saw more focus and better shot selection, and the
boys started working the boards for second shots.
The fourth quarter the boys showed heart, starting 20 points down
their pressure defense began paying off and the three’s began to fall.
In the end the hill was too steep to climb and San Diego Academy
will move on to face the Division 5 number one team The Cambridge
School on Tuesday with the Championship game next on the
schedule.
Friday proved to be the only day we got any snow after fears of white stuff
called off school Wednesday and Thursday. Many parents have vented their
outrage that the busses had already picked up their children and in on one
instance gotten them to school before classes were canceled for Friday also.
Then the kids got a ride back to their bus stops.
It’s That Daffy
Time Of Year!
February seems to sneak
in and warm us up in Julian.
Apricots are showing, plums are
exploded with blossoms and you
may have noticed your daffodils
are jumping up.
Julian’s Daffodil Show will be
Saturday March 10th & Sunday
March 11th 2018, Noon to Five
pm.. We need you to search
through your yard for the best
blooms: no dirt (use a soft brush
to remove), no tears, long stems
and proud balanced daffodils..
If you want entry cards early
to fill out prior to Friday, March
9th, please pick them up at the
Library during the week starting
March 1st.
Sharpies can mark stems with
their daffodil names, if you know
them. Donations of all other
blooms are gladly accepted to
raise funds for the show.
If you notice a storm brewing
a week to ten days before March
9th, scour your yard for good
daffodils. The buds need to
have some color on the tips if
you expect them to open. Place
them in a vase of water in your
refrigerator or a cool dark place.
The day or two before March
9th, bring them to the light; a
windowsill or bright table.
Since the nation has noticed
this small town show, We all
need to bring your best two to
thirty stems.
