• Leslie's Pool Supplies closes Coachella Valley store amid bankruptcy (mercedsunstar.com) — Leslie's Pool Supplies plans to close its Ramona store at 905 Main Street as part of a nationwide bankruptcy restructuring that will shutter 26 California locations. While the company says it will keep operating online and at remaining stores, Ramona pool owners may soon need to shift to other Leslie's branches or alternative retailers for chemicals, equipment, and maintenance supplies.
• Celebrating the Legacy of James Hubbell at the Recent Harvest Moon Fundraiser Near Julian (obrag.org) — Ramona gets a nod in a sweeping tribute to late San Diego artist James Hubbell, whose public art includes custom work for the local library. A recent Harvest Moon fundraiser at his Ilan-Lael compound near Julian highlighted how his nature-inspired designs, including pieces across backcountry communities, continue to influence regional architecture, public spaces, and arts education opportunities residents can still visit and tour.
• 'You don't have an option.' How outdoor workers in East County are coping with the heat (kpbs.org) — Outdoor workers in Ramona and the rest of East County are pushing through a prolonged heat wave, with temperatures hitting the mid-90s in town and over 100 degrees in nearby Lakeside. A Ramona mail carrier describes relying on shade, water, and brief air-conditioned breaks, while officials warn of extreme heat, possible power shutoffs, and point residents to county cooling zones and extended city facility hours.
