VOTE: Should the Jamul Indians build a casino?
The San Diego Union-Tribune currently has a poll open. If you haven't already voted, please do so. These comments will be part of the record and a good rebuttal to those who say the residents are OK with this latest proposal.
Below are the results as of today (Tuesday afternoon.) With nearly 800 votes from throughout the county, more than 80% say "no." Be sure to read the comments (37 at last count). Many are from those who have spent years, even decades involved in the various projects the current tribal leaders have put forward.

SKYHUNTERS at the Red Barn
Raptors.... Up Close and Personal!
Raptor expert, Nancy Conney, made a repeat visit to Deerhorn Valley yesterday. What a treat to see such incredible creatures so close. She carefully tailored her presentation to our local raptors, and we had wonderful interactions with a red-tailed hawk, kestrel, barn owl, and tiny screech owl among others. Paul and Dianne Jacob attended, along with some eighty residents. The shaded patio was filled, and the setting could not have been more perfect. There was lots of neighbor talking and sharing after... a wonderful event for all.

RAT POISON LIKELY CAUSE OF DV BOBCAT DEATHS

Our hawks and owls are returning in larger numbers this year and feed on our rodent population. If the anticoagulant rodent poisons continue to be used, we may lose many natural predators and any hope of re-reducing the population of squirrels and rats to a "normal" level.
