Candidate Forum Thursday
How often have you been faced with a ballot with names on it that are just names and you don’t know anything about those candidates? All too often, you don’t know what their positions are, or whether they would represent your interests. That’s why Julian Indivisible is hosting an event on April 5th that focuses on candidates running for important, local San Diego County offices so that you can attend, hear what they have to say, and ask questions. The candidates are: Geneviéve Jones-Wright, candidate for District Attorney, Commander Dave Myers, candidate for Sheriff, Matt Brower, candidate for Judge, and James Elia, candidate for State Assembly, District 71. This free event will be from 6 to 8 pm on Thursday April 5th at Julian Town Hall, at 2129 Main Street. What is Julian Indivisible? It is an organization formed in 2017 by folks from Julian who are concerned about the direction the federal government is taking our country on several fronts. Our deep concerns include: • Changes to America’s immigration policies that would close our doors to refugees, turn out Dreamers, and build border walls. • Actions that deny climate change and evidence-based science. • Actions that weaken environmental regulations that protect our water, air, and wildlife. • Continuing gun violence and lack of meaningful gun legislation by our legislators and President. Members of Julian Indivisible decided to resist. We decided to join together to elect candidates for local and national office who reflect inclusionary and progressive values. If you want more information about Julian Indivisible, please email julianindivisible@gmail.com. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about the following candidates:
For District Attorney: Geneviéve Jones-Wright. A native San Diegan, Ms. JonesWright has served the County of San Diego as a Deputy Public Defender for almost 12 years. She has spent over a decade experiencing the strengths and pitfalls of the criminal justice system. She’s running for District Attorney to show the connection between criminal justice reform, the world we want to live in, and the role of the District Attorney. She believes that prosecutors can and should be an instrument for needed reforms and be a bridge between communities of color and law enforcement. Ms. Jones-Wright earned a B.A. from the University of San Francisco, a Juris Doctorate from Howard University School of Law, and a Master of Laws in Trial Advocacy from California Western School of Law. For Judge: Matt Brower. Mr. Brower says, “As a Prosecutor (Deputy District Attorney), I fight daily in court for crime victims and to prioritize public safety. The San Diego Deputy Sheriffs Association, San Diego Police Officers Association, numerous other police and fire associations,

and judges have endorsed me. I am Law Enforcement’s choice. As a 16-year Marine (now reservist) I continue to defend my country as I did when I deployed with infantry battalions to Iraq and Afghanistan. Our courts are crucial to addressing the public health substance abuse crisis plaguing our communities. I support and have seen successful outcomes from Homeless, Drug, and Veterans Court programs that address causes of crime to combat recidivism. I am a USD Law School honors graduate.”
Wednesday
For State Assembly: James Elia. Mr. Elia says, “One of 8 children to an immigrant from Iraq, I am a first born generation Chaldean American running for state assembly in the 71st district. Before spending over 10 years in private banking, accounting, and the financial service field, I worked my way through college as a union roofer and EMT. Currently I am the president of the Minority Humanitarian Foundation and the director of operations for the Neighborhood Market Association. I am a state delegate to the Democratic party and a member of the san diego county central committee as well.” Mr. Elia’s platform supports affordable housing, holding banks accountable along with consideration of public banking, and bringing industry back, rebuilding infrastructure and investing in apprenticeship programs.

concert series called Opera Exposed, where I get to bring some of our young artists to different communities to do free performances about opera. I am also a passionate chamber musician. I perform with many musicians from the San Diego Symphony in a chamber music setting as well as with my trio, the Aviara Trio, which is a trio comprised of piano, violin and cello. We perform throughout Southern California. Irawati began her music training at the age of four in Jakarta, Indonesia. At the age of 13, she was discovered and invited to be educated at and awarded full scholarship to the prestigious Young Artists Program at Cleveland Institute of Music, and continued her studies at the Institute throughout her undergraduate years. Irawati also holds a Masters of Music degree from Yale. Working at Point Loma Nazarene University for over a decade as a vocal coach, Irawati accepted the position
with the San Diego Opera as Music and Artistic Director of the Young Artist Program and Opera Exposed. This allows her to have connections with all of the local universities to create interest in different typed of musical opportunities. Irawati says: “I love focusing on not only the music and the level of performance, but in the connection between performers and audience. I love to get to know my audience.” Creating a space and opportunities which allow music to be experienced openly and intimately is one of the most important purposes of a musician. Please join us at the Julian Branch Library, located at 1850 Highway 78, for a special afternoon performance of our signature Music on the Mountain. The performance is scheduled for Saturday, April 7 at 2 PM and will be followed by light refreshments. For more information, please call the branch at 760-765-0370 or visit www.sdcl.org/julian.

Please join us at the Julian Branch Library as we welcome explore the world of Sharks! This program will be held on Tuesday, April 10, 2018 at 6 PM. We welcome back Michael Lang to speak on a topic that will interest all ages. The subject of endless speculation, sharks are among the world’s most spectacular top predators. An eye-opening and in-depth presentation based on the latest scientific research highlights shark evolutionary history, physiology, behavior, and risk of attack. These magnificent fish are often the focal point of interest for beachgoers, surfers, scuba divers and fishermen. The marine ecosystem’s function supported by sharks, the need for their conservation, and the effect of hyper-dramatization by Hollywood of their danger could use a reality check. By teasing out the scientific from the sensational, shark facts have proven to be more complex and fascinating than shark fiction! Michael A. Lang, Ph.D. is a marine biologist, environmental physiologist, author, and international lecturer. He is Co-Director of the UCSD Center of Excellence in Diving and holds a research faculty appointment at UCSD Emergency Medicine, Senior Research Fellow at The Ocean Foundation, served as director for nonprofit organizations, including AAUS, DAN, UHMS and AUAS, and as expert consultant to the National Science Foundation, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Geological Survey, The Nature Conservancy, and Conservation International. Former Marine Collector/Curator at San Diego State University, Director of the Smithsonian Marine Science Network, Smithsonian Scientific Diving Officer, and National Science Foundation Polar Diving Safety Officer. Lang holds a B.Sc. in Zoology from San Diego State University, and a PhD in Environmental Physiology from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. He is fluent in five languages, has published over 50 scientific papers and popular articles and presented over 350 seminars/papers on current marine science and diving medicine topics. Best of all, Lang knows how to capture an audience with his personal stories, professional quality photos, his sense of humor and most of all, you get to learn something fun and interesting from a leader in the field. We hope that you will join us at the Julian Library on Tuesday, April 10, 2018 at 6 PM to learn about many kinds of sharks in the ocean. The library is located at 1850 Highway 78, Julian and you can reach us by calling 760-765-0370.
