East County News Service

October 16, 2022 (Julian) - Julian Farm and Orchard has just rescued 17 Pot
Belly Pigs from the local Santa Ysabel area. The pigs were rescued in
partnership with the Mesa Grande Indian Reservation and the USDA after more than
100 pigs were dumped on the Reservation land. Julian Farm and Orchard
coordinated with Mesa Grande Tribe to pick up 17 pigs and bring them to their
new permanent home on the farm.

“We learned about the plight of the pigs on the Mesa Grande Reservation through
Facebook and immediately wanted to help. Working with the Mesa Grande Tribe, we
were able to rescue 17 of the pot belly pigs” said Robin Madaffer, owner of
Julian Farm and Orchard.

 

Staff will be working diligently to bring the pigs to good health and ensure
they have a wonderful life in their new home. Visitors to Julian Farm and
Orchard will now be able to visit the pigs along with the other furry friends
that reside on the farm.

 

“We are excited to have them as part of our petting zoo family where they will
be well-cared for and loved” Madaffer said.

Reviewed by Pennell Paugh

October 14, 2022 (La Jolla) -- Location, location, location. This is the mantra
for real estate. But it is precisely “location” that helped define La Jolla.
Historic Tales of La Jolla tells the story of the place: its name, even its
initial creation by natural forces, followed by the people who found and fell in
love with it. This is history from a personal perspective. What did La Jolla do
for the people who came, and what did these people do for La Jolla and, in many
cases, for the rest of the world?

October 9, 2022 (Escondido) – State Senator Brian W. Jones (R-Santee) held a
press conference Sept. 23 to announce a new bill he plans to introduce on the
first day of the next legislative session, December 5. The measure would
prohibit homeless encampments near sensitive community areas such as schools,
parks, libraries, and day-care centers. It would also require enforcement
officers to provide information to homeless people about sleeping alternatives,
homeless and mental health services, and homeless shelters.

“It’s unfair and dangerous for neighbors, families and children that are near
these sensitive areas. Our measure, along with Governor Newsom’s Care Court,
will hopefully work together to help end the public camping in these areas,
while also compassionately assisting  the homeless with getting treatment for
their  mental and health needs and finding a more suitable space to stay.”  He
added that he is not seeking to criminalize homelessness. “Every Californian
deserves a path off the street, and our bill will help make that happen.”
