2018 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Hillsdale Middle School Field Lighting Project 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Overview The Cajon Valley Union School District (District) intends to install field lighting at its athletic fields at Hillsdale Middle School (project). No field lighting is currently installed at the fields. Lighting would be installed at the existing football/soccer field and at the three existing baseball/softball fields. The baseball/softball fields are located west of the football/soccer field and near the intersection of Brabham Street and Fury Lane. Once installed, new lighting would facilitate nighttime use of the soccer/football field and baseball/softball fields. Nighttime use of fields would occur 7 days per week, and hours of operation would be until 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and until 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Non- school-related use of the fields during evenings is permitted but requires a facilities use permit from the District. District-controlled timers would be installed and programmed to shut off the lights at 8:30 p.m. on weekdays and 5:00 p.m. on weekends (when seasonally needed). 1.2 California Environmental Quality Act Compliance The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) serves as the main framework of environmental law and policy in California. CEQA emphasizes the need for public disclosure and identifying and preventing environmental damage associated with proposed projects. Unless the project or program is deemed categorically or statutorily exempt, CEQA is applicable to any project or program that must be approved by a public agency in order to be processed and established. The project does not fall under any of the statutory or categorical exemptions listed in the 2018 CEQA Statute and Guidelines (PRC Section 21000 et seq.; 14 CCR 15000 et seq.) and, therefore, must meet CEQA requirements. As detailed in the analysis presented in Section 3, implementation of the project would not result in a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is appropriate and permitted by CEQA. 1.3 Project Planning Setting Hillsdale Middle School is located at 1301 Brabham Street in San Diego County, California. The school site is located outside of the El Cajon city limits and is within the unincorporated County of San Diego (County) community of Rancho San

  • Knights of Columbus Frances Cabrini Council 8879
    Knights of Columbus Frances Cabrini Council 8879 1 EDITOR’S NOTE Several years ago we ran a series of biographies in the council newsletter called “KNOW YOUR KNIGHTS”. A few of our Knights asked me to consolidate them into a booklet form and make them available to all members, especially our new members who may not have read the series when it was published. It is also hoped that it will encourage our members who have not submitted a biography to do so. Most biographies were submitted between 2002 and 2004, so keep that in mind if you think they are rather “dated” when you read them. In the case of “Fallen Knights”, I have done some editing for obvious reasons. The dates that appear on the CONTENTS page are the month they appeared in our newsletter. If you would like to add your life’s “story” to our collection, just send it to me via email or snail mail, and I’ll make sure it is in the next edition.

  • CAL FIRE Border Impact Statistics
    BORDER AGENCY FIRE COUNCIL The Harris Fire Year End Report 2007 1 2 What is BAFC? – The concerned citizens of the United States and Mexico formed the Border Agency Fire Council. It is a consortium of government and private entities, emergency responders, environmental specialists, law enforcement, fire protection, and elected officials. It began under emergency conditions and has proven to be an extremely successful collaboration. People are alive today because of BAFC. Threatened habitat is protected and even improved because of this program. An unprecedented bi-national mutual assistance agreement is in place and working because of this program. The members of BAFC have worked without judgment or malice toward their fellow human being. From the beginning, their motivation has been primarily to save lives and protect the sensitive habitat of the border area. Thirty-four organizations make up BAFC; a list of members is at the end of this report. The members meet quarterly during the winter and every six to eight weeks during fire season. They meet at the San Diego headquarters of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) in El Cajon, California. Through collaborative effort, they have altered the environment to allow better access into the wildland for emergency responders, while respecting the natural values of the area. They have enhanced communication among emergency responders on both sides of the U.S. - Mexico border. They have reached out to people in both countries with safety messages in Spanish and English. This report provides a brief description of the many projects the Council and agencies have accomplished this year and ongoing projects started in other years yet still active today.

  • Federal Aviation Administration Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and Record of Decision (ROD) for the Southern Californi
    Federal Aviation Administration Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and Record of Decision (ROD) For the Southern California Metroplex Project (SoCal Metroplex) August 2016 I. INTRODUCTION This document serves as the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Finding of No Significant Impact and Record of Decision (FONSI/ROD) for the Environmental Assessment for the Southern California Metroplex Project (SoCal Metroplex), August 2016, attached hereto and incorporated by reference. The FONSI/ROD has been prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 4321 et seq.); implementing regulations issued by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) (40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), parts 1500-1508); and FAA Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, effective March 20, 2006 (“FAA Order 1050.1E”). This FONSI/ROD is also used by the FAA to demonstrate and document its compliance with the several procedural and substantive requirements of aeronautical, environmental, programmatic, and other statutes and regulations that apply to FAA decisions on proposed actions. This FONSI/ROD is based on the information and analysis contained in the Final Environmental Assessment (Final EA) dated August 2016, attached hereto. 1 This FONSI/ROD: • Documents the FAA’s findings that the SoCal Metroplex Project will not have significant environmental impacts and explains the basis for those findings; and, • Approves certain Federal actions associated with the implementation of the Proposed Action. Implementation of the Proposed Action will result in no airport- related development, land acquisition, construction, or other ground disturbance activities.

    A MAGAZINE FOR THE OWNER/PILOT OF KING AIR AIRCRAFT APRIL 2019 • VOLUME 13, NUMBER 4 • $6.50 ‘The Airplane I Always Wanted’ F90 Fulfills Pilot’s Dream Fully Loaded This modified F90 handles an active family of 7 by MeLinda Schnyder t first take, it might sound like Chris Miller is still in the honeymoon phase when he says of the Beechcraft King Air F90 that he acquired in 2017, A “It’s currently our only airplane and it’s going to be our only airplane. We absolutely love it.” It is, after all, his first King Air. But when you find out more about Miller’s path to this point, it sounds like a level-headed statement. This is the airplane he knew he wanted before he even became a pilot, and while other aircraft better fit his needs until now, the King Air matches his family’s current lifestyle – one that doesn’t look like it will change anytime soon. 2 • KING AIR MAGAZINE APRIL 2019 Chris and Jennifer Miller acquired the 1981 Beechcraft King Air F90 in 2017 and fly about 150 hours per year from their base in San Diego.

Until a few years ago, Miller was traveling frequently between homes and business interests in California and Florida. They still have homes in both states, but the trips are less often and the work schedule less demanding.
