Palomar Mountain News

Just found out that Palomar Mountain’s, The Singing Cowboy, Dutch Bergman is one of the featured musicians at the Harvest Festival in Pauma!

The Festival runs from 2:00 to 8:00 pm with lots of great entertainment and fun games and prizes for the kids.

However, if you’d like to hear Dutch, you’ll want to be there a little before 4:00 as he is to perform from 4:00 to 6:00pm

Directions from the Mountain:  Drive down into Pauma, you’ll go past the Country Club, past Cole Grade Road, and past Reservation Road (that leads to Pauma Casino), keep going, and the Mission is right away on the left.

Hello Fire Detectors and friends!

Volunteer, Howard Gillins forwarded this story from the San Diego Union-Tribune. The story is very much about fire detection and new cameras being installed on…you guessed it, former Fire Lookout Station sites!

San Diego County clearly takes its fire detection seriously…I think we can help!

Cheers,

Mass Casualty Drill

We would like to announce to the general public that the PMVFD will be conducting a mass casualty drill on Monday, November 1st starting at 6:00 pm and ending at 9 pm.

The drill will be taking place at the County Road Station on State Park Road.  We will be hosting numerous agencies at this drill, including the Sheriffs Department, State Parks, and other fire departments.

 Pleased be advised this is not a real emergency and is a planned and structured training event.

What a pleasure to meet David and Gayle Pinto when they were here to see property during our lovely rain yesterday.  They have such intriguing careers and I thought many of you would also be interested in what they do.  David and Gayle are devoted to teaching music to blind students with amazing results. Click for an inspiring , CBS 60 Minutes video and meet David near the end.   You might also appreciate this article  telling of their Academy of Music for the Blind, and of David’s work with Ray Charles.  

The beauty of Palomar sure draws some special folks our way.  Hope they can join us here on the Mountain top.

Comment from Gale Vavra: “I just watched the 60 Minutes video.  What an amazing and inspiring story!  Thank you so much!  I want to share it with everyone I know.”

Comment from Mitch Harmon : “It’s amazing to me that we have such gifted people like David and Gayle, who have the heart to help blind people find their gifts. I’m truly inspired to do more on helping people in my work place. Thank you for sharing this story with me!”

If you are at all interested in the night sky, now is your chance to sign up for a once-a-month class on Astronomy here on Palomar Mountain. Mark Lane, a new docent at the Observatory, has graciously offered to teach a class, free of charge, once a month. Mark is a professor of Earth, Space, and Aviation Sciences at Palomar College in San Marcos and his willingness to share his knowledge with us is incredible. He wanted to have at least 10-15 people, and I already have 8-10 that are interested. The material will be more basic in nature, nothing difficult as we might expect at a regular school setting. He needs some time to figure out what his schedule would be, so at this point I cannot tell you what day of the week/month it would take place. Please email me back if you would like me to save you a spot in the class, and I will keep you posted with new developments.

Thank you,

Anandamayi
