JCFPD Update From The Chief Hello Neighbors, I have been your local fire chief for just over four months. In this time I have gotten up to speed on many of the issues facing our town and our fire district. There have been lots to learn and lots to do gathering information as well as trying to keep things running operationally. As the fire season winds down and we get some rain, hopefully we can get out of the threat of wildland fires for a few months. This past fire season was pretty quiet in San Diego County with a few exceptions like the Chariot Fire that did considerable damage on Mt. Laguna. Thankfully, through the efforts of wildland fire agencies and local fire departments like ours, the fire was steered away from Julian. So, here are a few updates on what we have been doing for the past several months. 1. We had a work party to give our current fire station a face lift and make over. It was getting pretty ragged around here so with the help of a bunch of locals and donations from the Julian Firefighters Association as well as money from JCFPD, we repainted the whole place, replaced a bunch of siding, fixed doors, installed fences and a bunch of other misc. station repairs. Special thanks to Lee Stanley for sending over his construction crew, Mike Van Bibber for getting a paint donation and Julian CERT for helping with the prep work. 2. There has been some progress in the new station. The County has approved our site plan and we are currently trying to procure grading permits and waiting for Cal Trans approval. We have bid documents for the new buildings and working on finding a project manager and getting a loan for financing the project. Maybe with a little luck we will be breaking ground by spring. 3. We had a committee schedule and plan an open house/ fund raising effort. It was a great community event. There were venders of all types, activities for kids, Barbequed burgers and hot dogs, an awesome band, firefighting
demonstrations, a raffle and Smokey Bear even paid us a visit. It was a great success and we raised some funds and had a great time. 4. The JCFPD Board has approved and sponsored a special committee of locals to help us guide the future of the JCFPD. The group is going to meet regularly to discuss options for the future of our Fire District. Lots of things have changed in the fire environment and it is time to take a look at where we have been and where we are going. 5. The current Ambulance contract with San Diego County expired on Sept 30th 2013 but we successfully negotiated a six month extension with a substantial increase in the County Subsidy. So the good news is we are still in the ambulance business until March 30, 2014. The not-so-good news is we are in the process of preparing a new bid to retain the service but there is no guarantee we will be awarded the new contract. If the contract is awarded to another company Julian will still have an ambulance service, just not provided by JCFPD. 6. We are negotiating a contract with San Diego County Fire Marshal to provide fire prevention service for the District. This is more in line with building plan approvals with new construction and remodels. So all that as well as having staff meetings, training, walk-in business, board meetings, fire and medical calls, meeting with contractors, attorneys, vendors, County Staff, fire chiefs from other Depts. and just taking care of routine business has kept us all pretty busy. And a reminder as the temperatures start dropping and you start cranking up the wood stove and fireplaces. Be sure your flues and chimneys are clean and in good working order. Be sure to check your smoke detectors and replace the batteries. That’s all for now, I would like you to feel free to call if you have questions about anything. I will try to provide more updates in a timely manner in the future. Sincerely, Rick Marinelli Chief - JCFPD

From The Land Down Under Fiona Joy Hawkins and Trysette In Special Performance
Eagles Get Ground Down By The Foothills Knights
by H. “Buddy” Seifert
Australian natives Fiona and Trysette bring their masterful piano skills and a little humor to a special Music on the Mountain Performance - Tuesday Night November 10 at the Julian branch Library. The Julian Branch Library is excited to be hosting Australian pianists Fiona Joy Hawkins and Trysette, on their ‘Two Grand I’m Yours’ United States tour. The performance will take place on Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 6:30 pm. Sensual Singer Songwriter Trysette, and Evocative Mistress of Piano Fiona Joy Hawkins bring spark and sizzle to every Two Grand I’m Yours show. Trysette and Fiona Joy Hawkins met in 2011 and quickly developed a mutual admiration for each other's music. Both being pianists, they decided to tour together with the intention of playing only grands. This idea gave birth to the 'Two Grand I'm Yours' tour concept. The pair began touring together in 2012 to critical acclaim. They both were solo artists from New South Wales Australia, are classically trained with a penchant for the grand piano. However, that is where the similarities end. They blend musical worlds with stories both humorous and heartbreaking. They take their audiences on a journey through Pop, Folk, New Age and Classical, delivering an unforgettable evening in their own unique, fresh and entertaining way. Hawkins was born in Cessnock, New South Wales and raised in both Newcastle and Tamworth. She first began to study the piano at a young age, composing short pieces for the piano before she was a teenager. She trained at the Tamworth Conservatorium of Music under tutor Ursula Bakker, where she showed early signs of musical talent. Her early music teachers included Es Clarke, Ursula Bakker, and Maureen Newell. Her influences include George Winston, Michael Nyman, Chopin, and Mendelssohn. Hawkins 2013 album '600 Years in a Moment' draws on Celtic music from her family traditions as well as vocal and instrumental performances representing Mongolia, Hungary, China, Africa, Tibet, Ireland, the Middle East, Native America centered around her playing on a 120-key Stuart and Sons piano, being recorded in Newcastle (Australia), at Imaginary Road Studios (Vermont), Los Angeles, New York, Bremen and Portland (Maine), and Halifax (Canada). Featured musicians include cellist Eugene Friesen (Paul Winter Consort), bassist Tony Levin (Paul McCartney and Peter Gabriel), drummer Jeff Haynes (Pat Metheney) and violinist Charlie Bisharat (Yanni), violinist/vocalist Rebecca Daniel (Australian Chamber Orchestra) as well as guitarists Will Ackerman and Todd Boston. Trysette grew up on the northern rivers of New South Wales, Australia, under the influence of mainstream artists such as Elton John, Lionel Richie, Eagles, Carole King, James Taylor, it's no surprise that Trysette's lyric writing is intuitive and intelligently sensual. Trysette has a unique blend of attitude and sensitivity. “I'm not sure why I'm able to write lyrics because I don't remember doing so well at English in school” Trysette says.”I was just so broken hearted at the age of 19 over a silly boy that all I could do was pour out my feelings on paper and that's where the song writing began. I'd been classically trained on the piano for many years but without my teacher knowing, I'd play ragtime and pop songs instead of practicing my scales, but this ultimately helped me in the process of learning to write my own songs”. The Aussie artists Trysette and Fiona returned to the States in September to entertain their audiences once again, playing a series of dates at theaters, intimate clubs, and house concerts. Nan and Chuck Kimball of the Artists Loft in Julian have been following Hawkins for years and convinced them to extend their tour to Julian. Hawkins was a finalist for an ARIA (the Australian Grammy’s) and in 2013, she was a finalist for the independent Music Awards for best Live Performance across all categories, alongside the legendary Pete Seeger. Jordan Rich of Boston’s WBZ radio commented, “When they have finished with the piano, Trysette and Fiona could take up as stand-up comedians. They are a brilliant pair of artists making us laugh one minute, cry the next, and dance in our seats with music that touches our very sense.” Fiona and Trysette are each scheduled to perform 45 minute sets on a grand piano in the Julian Library. We encourage you to attend this once in a lifetime concert at the library. As always, the concert is free and open to all who wish to be fabulously entertained. The two will have CD’s available for sale following their concert. The library is located at 1850 Highway 78, Julian. For more information, please contact the branch at 760-765-0370.
Our Eagles lost a grinding squeaker of a football game to the Foothills Christian Knights in an afternoon home game on Friday. The afternoon started off in the Eagles favor when in spite of losing the opening coin toss Foothills deferred receiving the opening kick. The Knights, with the East wind to their back, boomed the kickoff through the west end zone. Eagles ball, first and 10 at Julian’s 20. Our Eagles opened the game with a 5-yard smash by Steven Canales. Darren Duffy followed up with a 2-yard dash through a thick defensive stand. QB Hunter McConnell competed a 17-yard pass to brother Hunter for another Eagles gain. The front line, a usually pugnacious group of fellows, appeared to decide to take a vacation, and a lack of blocking left the Eagles with the ball going over on downs on a 4th and 9. The Knights first pass from scrimmage fell incomplete. The Foothills QB picked up 14 yards and a first down on the next three plays and then threw another incompletion. The next play a false start on the Knights and a tackle by Sr. DE Tony Moniz was ruled a facemask penalty, giving Foothills a first and ten on the Julian 40. Foothills made the best of the situation and scooted down to the Julian 5, where the Knights QB scampered in to the promised land with a 5-yard dash. Foothills attempt at an extra point kick was smashed down by a surging Moniz as it left the kickers foot. Julian Eagles 0. Foothills Christian Knights 6. 5:32 left in the first quarter. Steven Corrales took the Knights kick deep in Julian territory at the 11. His return covered about 120 yards as he wove in and out of clots of Knights defenders and ended up at Foothills’ 1-yard line. Hunter, behind a blocking line, surged into the Knights endzone. Eagles score. Skyler M. rushed his kick just a little bit; a Knight got his paw on the ball and no joy for the Eagles. Julian 6. Foothills 6. 5:06 left in the first quarter. Foothills took the Julian kick at their own 35 and was brought down at the Knights’ 45. The Knights had a rushing QB and rush he did. He picked up 14 yards on four runs and was pummeled to the ground by a resounding tackle by Sr. DL Johnny Beresford. Foothills’ next pass flopped to ground like a ruptured duck, but the Julian defense blinked on a 4th and 4 and the Knights RB picked up 8, down to the Julian 30. Three quick incompletes and a hit heard in Santa Ysabel by Moniz and Julian has the ball on their own 28. Hunter’s first pass of the series skidded off the hands of Soph WR JJ Corrales and Canales ran for 8 yards on the next play. End of the first quarter. Hunter bulldozed his way for 4 yards and picked up a Julian first down. Canales followed up with a hard fought 3 and Hunter found Austin about 14 yards out for

Hunter and Tony failed to connect and Hunter was caught in the backfield for a 4-yard loss. Hunter’s next two passes to Darren Duffy were just about a yard and a bit short for an Eagles first down. Foothills took over at their own 38 and the Knights QB picked up a quick 14 under his own power. The Knights were flagged for taking too much time to get the ball off and their next pass fell incomplete. The Knights picked up 17 yards on their next completion.
