Learn The Secrets Of Gardening With Less Water Saturday At The Library

1985

New Super Could Be In Place At Thursday Board Meeting

We are all facing drought or water shortages. Come to the Library this Saturday morning at 10am to learn how “Gardening with Less Water” offers simple, inexpensive, low-tech techniques for watering your garden much more efficiently — using up to 90 percent less water for the same results. With illustrated step-by-step instructions, David Bainbridge shows you how to install buried clay pots and pipes, wicking systems, and other porous containers that deliver water directly to a plant’s roots with little to no evaporation. These systems are available at hardware stores and garden centers; are easy to set up and use; and work for garden beds, container gardens, and trees.

David Bainbridge grew up in the West, spending his formative years in northern Washington east of the Cascades in a small town working in the family toy factory and enjoying the rivers, mountains and sage covered hills. After earning a BA in Earth Sciences at UC San Diego in 1970, he moved north to UC Davis to complete a MS in Ecology in the multidisciplinary Eco-Grad Program. He completed the coursework for a PhD in Ecology, but was unable to develop a workable committee for his proposed thesis on ecological community design. Instead he started a company doing environmental impact analysis, then transitioned to a solar research and design firm, Living Systems, where he worked on community design, passive solar heating and cooling, building codes and solar rights. He completed his first water wall solar home in the innovative Village Homes solar subdivision and helped overcome city engineering department resistance to narrow streets and above-ground drainage systems. His research on passive solar heating and cooling led him to the California Energy Commission as a solar specialist, where he earned a commendation for his work on the passive section of the state Solar Tax Credit program and work on the state Passive Solar Handbook. He served as a judge for the Federal Dept. of Housing and Urban Development solar home competition. After leaving the energy commission he established the Passive Solar Institute where he continued research, education, and consulting on solar design and energy conservation. He has completed two new homes, four remodels, one straw bale building and helped his parents with a home deconstruction and rebuild. His design consulting work has ranged from homes to office buildings, a medical office, subdivisions, a new town, and many remodels. He started work on straw bale building systems in 1985 with a consulting project for a farmer, an interest that eventually led to the completion of The Straw

Bale House in 1994, with sales now over 125,000 copies. He was actively involved in straw bale building research from 1985-2001. After the collapse in energy prices dampened interest in solar energy in the early 1980s he returned to academia and worked on desert restoration at UC Riverside and San Diego State University from 1986-1995. In 1995 he started teaching at Alliant International University, where he is now Associate Professor of Sustainable Management in the Marshall Goldsmith School of Management. His special interests include sustainability reporting, environmental economics, passive solar design and environmental restoration.

Dr. Patrick Hefflin has been tentatively selected as the next superintendent of the Julian Union High School District. The terms of Dr. Hefflin’s contract, including her start date, are still being negotiated and will be announced once finalized. “Dr. Hefflin has the leadership experience we need,” said Julian Union High School District Board of Education President Katy Moretti. “Her energy, warmth, and openness make her a good fit for the Julian community. She will help get everyone in the district working as a team and move us forward.” Dr. Hefflin has nearly 25 years of experience as an educator, most recently serving as superintendent of the Greenville Area School District, a small rural district in Pennsylvania. There, she helped lead the district through a $1.1 million cut in state aid by developing a balanced budget without cutting programs or dipping into reserves. “Rural areas are very dear to my heart because schools are the hub of those communities,” said Dr. Hefflin. “I’m excited to connect with the Julian community and be part of a school district that is changing children’s lives.” As assistant superintendent for K-12 Curriculum and Instruction at the Kiski Area School District, also in Pennsylvania, Dr. Hefflin focused on using data to drive instructional practices in order to support student achievement. She also worked with principals and teachers to expand professional development opportunities and to implement professional learning communities. Dr. Hefflin’s other experience includes serving as principal and assistant principal at the middle and high school levels, and a physics and calculus teacher for nearly 10 years. Dr. Hefflin, who attended Mansfield University in Pennsylvania for her undergraduate studies, holds two master’s degrees from Duquesne University: one in science education and one in administration and management. She earned a doctorate of education through Duquesne’s interdisciplinary doctoral program for educational leaders. Dr. Hefflin also holds several California and Pennsylvania professional credentials. The selection followed a comprehensive search conducted by the San Diego County Office of Education’s Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Michele Fort-Merrill. “Michele made our job very hard because she brought us a lot of wonderful candidates,” said Moretti. “Her leadership, input, and guidance were priceless.” The board is scheduled to meet Thursday evening, August 18 when the decision to finalize Dr. Hefflin’s contract should be made.

Teachers at Julian Elementary and Junior High returned to work last Monday to a great surprise. Inspirational opening days of pre service are a tradition at our school, but this may have been the finest thus far. Staff had the great honor of spending the day with the amazing Mr. James Hubbell and his staff at the Ilan-Lael Foundation. Throughout our personal tour we were inspired by his wisdom, advice and the beauty of his creations. Teachers were led to delve deeper into their own personal vision of creative educating and leadership. We have carried this inspiration into the classroom and are off to a great school year. Thank you Mr. Hubbell!
