Third Annual Julian Wild & Scenic Film Festival Kicks Off With Farm-to-Table Event

(46¢ + tax included)

County Extends Assessment Review Deadline

Soiree Brings Together Chef Jeremy Manley With Local Farms, Wineries & Breweries

High Winds Cause House Fire Early Thursday morning, May first, Residents and firefighters alike were awoken to a pre-dawn residential structure fire. The blaze which erupted around four a.m. in a single story, single family home on Ridgewood Dr. was quickly contained with final extinguishment by six a.m. Fire personnel determined that the fire was ignited when a large tree limb snapped in the wind,fell and severed the power supply to the un-occupied residence. Eighteen Firefighters from three agencies, Julian Cuyamaca Volunteer Fire , CalFire and Santa Ysabel fire departments, combined efforts to extinguish the fire and keep it from spreading to adjoining properties. Damage estimates were not available at the time of this writing. No injuries were reported.

The third annual Julian Wild & Scenic Film Festival will kick off on Friday, May 16 with a blend of cuisine, culture and ecoconsciousness via a special farm-to-table event. The soiree, in Wynola at Jeremy's on the Hill, will include hors d'oeuvres prepared by Chef Jeremy Manley, featuring produce and meats from Sage Mountain Farms. A no host bar with special film festival local wine and beer offerings – Milagro Farms Sauvignon Blanc, Orfila Benign Neglect Syrah, and Nickel's Volcan IPA – will also be available. The tent event, which begins at 6 p.m., will also include a red carpet, a meet and greet with filmmakers, guest speakers, and a screening of the short film, “Fresh Food: What is Farm to Table?” The film explores the basics of sustainable farming and locally grown foods through the eyes of three highly trained chefs who have left big-city jobs to grow fresh, healthy ingredients for their gourmet dishes. The film follows the chefs as they establish a farm complete with vegetables, fruits, herbs, chickens, cows, and pigs—and without fertilizers, pesticides, or hormones. Guest speakers will include Phil Noble from Sage Mountain Organic Farms; Tricia Elisara, Nutrition Garden Coordinator of Julian Elementary School; and filmmaker Tom Xia, who will preview the trailer to his feature film “Xmas Without China,” winner of the 2014 Wild and Scenic audience choice award. The film follows an American family that accepts the challenge by Xia, a Chinese immigrant, to live a month without the ubiquitous “Made in China” label on anything they purchase. The film was the brainchild of Xia, who wanted to explore the material relationship between his new home and his native one. Tickets for this special farmto-table event are limited and can be purchased at http://www. julianf ilmfestival.c om /2014 _ tickets/. “We are proud to open this year’s festival at Jeremy's on the Hill, one of Julian's finest restaurants featuring fresh, seasonal, organic and local cuisine by Cordon Bleu trained Chef Jeremy Manley,” said Terry Ross, co-director of the festival. “Jeremy’s embodies farm-totable and we are excited to share his excellent food and introduce a new audience to the local culinary delights of Julian.” For 27-year-old Manley, his restaurant is the perfect venue for the farm-to-table event. Manley, who opened Jeremy’s on the Hill with his mother, Teresa, eight years ago, has grown the restaurant into a sustainable business, using fresh ingredients

Appeals and requests for review of assessment are down dramatically compared to the past year. Formal appeals of 2013 property value was 6,861 as of the end of April 2014 compared to 14,627 formal appeals for 2012, again measured at the end of April 2013. Requests for assessment reviews last year was received from 798 property owners while this year only 299 requests were received. San Diego County has 981,829 taxable parcels of property—second most of California’s 58 counties. “Appeals and assessment reviews are received from less than one percent of parcels in the county,” said Assessor Dronenburg. “But by extending the request deadline we want to make sure any owner that thinks they need a review gets that opportunity.” The deadline for requesting a review of a property owner’s assessed value was set to lapse today (April 30) at 5 p.m. Ernie Dronenburg, the San Diego County Assessor extended the review request period to May 16. “Only 299 property owners have asked for a review of their 2014 property values since we started accepting requests last December. We believe this is because the county real estate market is growing dramatically,” said Assessor Dronenburg. “But we wanted to make sure everyone knew about the review process so I have extended the time period by two more weeks.” The application for an Assessment Review can be submitted online at www.sdarcc.com. Property owners, who believe their property’s market value as of January 1, 2014 has dropped below its current assessed value, can file an application online to request the Assessor to review their property’s assessment before this year’s bill is issued. As an indication of their current assessed value, an owner can reference the assessed value on their 2013-2014 tax bill. Assessor Dronenburg also wants to remind the over 200,000 taxpayers who were granted a reduction last year that they need not apply again this year as their assessed value will automatically be reviewed. Assessor Dronenburg concluded, “If you are online challenged and would like the paper version of the application form, you can call our help number at my office (858-505-6262) and a form will be mailed to you. However, don’t delay because the May 16, 2014 date will not be extended again.” All taxpayers who apply will be notified of the results of their request in July. If the owner disagrees with the decision, they can file a formal appeal with the county Assessment Appeals Board. The appeal should be sent to the Clerk of the Assessment Appeals Board between July 2 and December 1
