says Julian Chamber of Commerce President Ed Glass. “This was based on the Taste of Julian, which has been going on for years. It’s based on the concept of a one-day event, where people can sample different venues.” Julian has two operating wineries in town, along with craft beer, hard apple cider and tasting rooms, whose wineries are managed in coastal cities, adds Glass. With such a variety of options, guests are sure to find something to enjoy. Sip of Julian is set for Saturday, July 30, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Age verification will start at 10 a.m. at the Chamber office in Town Hall, 2129 Main St. Tickets will be sold online at www.visitjulian.com for $25 each.

Appetites for Art By Coko Brown
Pairing art and food is not a new concept. It is widely known that artists such as Miro and Picasso would trade paintings for their meals. The inspiration for many still life paintings has been, and still is, food. From the Dutch Masters and the Impressionists to contemporary painters, it’s obvious that food is a feast for all our senses. Jeremy Manley, head chef and proprietor of Jeremy’s on the Hill, understands the connection between food and atmosphere, as he creates a total dining experience featuring creative and original dishes, an assortment of wines and a collection of fine art. The restaurant is host to a quarterly art show called The Lobby Artists. These shows, which have been running for three years, have featured the work of many well-known artists from around the county. The exhibitions are by invitation and curated by me, Coko Brown. Working closely with Jeremy and his staff, I look for art that will enhance the restaurant and the dining experience, with the expectation that guests will find this collaboration enjoyable.
Featured Artist Rose Irelan Featured this quarter is Rose Irelan, an artist and art educator from Poway. Irelan attended the Columbus College of Art and Design, where she earned her B.A. in illustration with a minor in fine art. She worked as an art director and graphic designer from the 1980s to 2003, when she made the move from the

ing their portfolios for art and design schools. Many of her teen students are now attending top design schools. Irelan paints landscapes of deserts and mountains, and seascapes of the West en plein air. She also paints larger studio paintings based on her outdoor work, as well as portraits and figurative works. No matter what the subject, she paints to portray honesty, spirit and beauty. “Every outdoor location and experience feeds my passion to paint and connect more deeply with Spirit and nature,” she says. “I feel the best way to paint nature is from direct observation that is truthful — not only in the way it looks but the way it feels. Every painting teaches me more about color, which conveys the energy and design of nature I strive to capture.” These qualities of her work serve to give the feeling of a “moment in time” that transcends pure representation and becomes artistic expression, conveying the spirit she feels in nature. Her many years of painting quick, handson studies from life, together with working outdoors, have developed her understanding July 14, 2016

It’s a fun and informative event presented by the San Diego Astronomy Association and the community of Julian. A Public Star Party on Saturday night is just one of the many attractions that make StarFest so popular. It is open to everyone from 7 to 10 p.m. at no charge. “Take a star tour of the heavens using the many telescopes set up in the viewing area,” says StarFest coordinator Hillary Griffith, of the San Diego Astronomy Association. “Experts will be on hand to answer questions about what you’re looking at and about the telescopes.” Even more activities are available to those who
purchase a weekend pass. Guests with paid admission may visit the vendor area each day, hear well-known guest speakers and participate in a drawing at 5 p.m. on Saturday. “We have a great lineup of presentations that includes everything from speakers on SpaceX, an exciting new space company, to backyard pinhole projections,” says Griffith. “There is also an optional behindthe-scenes tour of Palomar Observatory.” Among this year’s StarFest speakers will be Bill Carton, who will talk about SpaceX; John Garrett, pinhole projection; Shane Haggard, the chemistry of the universe; and Dan Drinnon, the OSIRIS-Rex asteroid mission. A photography workshop by renowned astronomer Dennis Mammana is scheduled for Friday, with a lecture at 3:30 p.m. and a photography session at 8:15 p.m. Cost for this special event is $50, and registration is available on the

A Dog Park for Julian?
Residents Ask Jess Martin Park Advisory Committee for Support By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal
A
handful of Julian residents attended the June meeting of the Jess Martin Park Advisory Committee to make their case to create a dog park where owners could exercise their dogs off-leash. For many months, the informal group of dog owners has been meeting most mornings at the park to engage
in outdoor activities with their dogs and each other. Surprised to have been asked recently to keep their dogs on-leash at the park, and to confine their use to the walking path, they attended the JMPAC meeting to request time to speak on the matter and to ask the advisory committee to plead their case to the San Diego County Parks and Recreation Department to create an area where they

could let their dogs run off their leashes. They presented a petition signed by more than 80 individuals seeking a local exception to the county code that requires dogs to be on-leash within the park system. Dave Holt, District Manager of Parks and Recreation for the County of San Diego, reported that in recent months, there has been an increase in dogs off-leash at county parks, which had largely been ignored by park officials. After some extremely severe dog fights at county parks, Parks and Rec officials began to insist that dog owners keep their dogs leashed. According to Holt, before the committee could advocate for a specified dog park at JMP, three basic questions would need to be answered: Is there room; is there a need; and are other parks more appropriate for a dog park. Dr. Bill Geckeler, a dog owner, spoke about the need for the dog park, arguing that the leash law ordinance has a proviso for exceptions, leaving room for a solution to meet the needs of this community. Susan Bissell, a 30-year resident of Julian, visited the park for the first time two years ago, after a close call with a rattlesnake on private property. Initially an opponent of the park when the ballot measure to approve a tax to fund the park was raised in 2003, she now brings her dog to the park every day. “My feelings about the park

changed since I have been bringing my dog to the park,” she said. Several people on the committee and in attendance spoke about the sense of community that would come from having a designated area and/or time for responsible dog owners to let their dogs off-leash, as well as making the park available to another group within the larger community. Holt advised the committee that the subject would need to be discussed and studied, stating that there are some expenses to creating a dog park. He cited that Live Oak County Park was the first in the county park system to create a designated dog park about a year ago, funded and maintained in part by money

raised by a local group that lobbied for the improvement. The committee agreed to put the subject on their agenda and discuss it at the next meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m., Aug. 16, at Julian Union High School, Room 4. n
Cal Fire Suspends Burn Permits Cal Fire suspended all burn permits for outdoor residential burning within the State Responsibility Area of San Diego and Imperial Counties. As of June 13, all residential burning of landscape debris, such as branches and leaves, is prohibited. Despite the rain this winter and spring, drought conditions continue to increase fire danger in the region, which has prompted this ban, according to a statement from Cal Fire. “San Diego lives with the threat of wildfire year-round, and it is critical that the public do their part to be extra fire safe when outdoors,” said Tony Mecham, Cal Fire San Diego Unit and County Fire Chief. Cal Fire Director Chief Ken Pimlott encouraged residents to ensure they have a defensible space by clearing dead and dying vegetation 100 feet from all structures, landscaping with fire-resistant or drought-tolerant plants, and
finding alternative ways to dispose of landscape debris, such as chipping it or hauling it to a biomass energy facility. Since the beginning of the year, Cal Fire and firefighters across the state have responded to more than 1,700 wildfires that have burned nearly 30,000 acres. In the Cal Fire San Diego Unit, firefighters have responded to more than 75 wildfires. This burn restriction does not apply to campfires within organized campgrounds or on private property as long as the campfire is maintained to prevent wildfires. Agriculture, land management, fire training and other industry-type burning may proceed as long as Cal Fire inspects the burn site and issues a special permit. Campfire permits may be obtained at local fire stations and online at www.preventwildfireca.org. Visit www.readyfor wildfire.org. n July 14, 2016
Search for Principal/Superintendent for JUHS Comes Up Empty By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal
A
n announcement in February that the Julian Union High School District would not renew the contract of Principal/ Superintendent David Schlottman set in motion the process to find his replacement. However Schlottman’s contract expired before the JUHSD school board could hire a candidate, which left the district and school without leadership as of July 1, unless an interim principal/superintendent could be found. Of 12 applications received for the position and prescreened by a San Diego County Office of Education panel of experts, only two were deemed qualified enough to proceed to the interview stage of the process. Before those interviews could take place, however, both prospective candidates withdrew their applications. The JUHSD board discussed the predicament in closed session on June 23. Board member Dennis Cantor tried to solve the imminent problem by moving to renew
Schlottman’s contract. The motion was seconded but ended with board members Cantor and Greg Schuett in favor of keeping Schlottman, and Katy Moretti, Tom Skibinski and Robert Wolfe opposed. It was reported out of closed session that the board would resume a search for a new superintendent. With a smaller pool of candidates now that other districts are already hiring qualified applicants, the school board is taking a gamble that they will attract a qualified individual, while the future of the school hangs in the balance. Michele Fort-Merrill, assistant superintendent of human resources for SDCOE, has been advising the school board throughout this process. “I explained to the board that small-school recruitments are a challenge, especially in remote areas,” she said. “I am hopeful that we will find someone.” Moretti requested assistance from the SDCOE in locating an interim principal/ superintendent. Fort-Merrill is now in the process of searching from a pool of retired administrators for a qualified
individual who is interested in the interim position. After a well-attended public meeting earlier this year, where the community came out overwhelmingly in support of keeping Schlottman in the leadership role, school board members Cantor and Schuett made several unsuccessful attempts to convince board members Moretti, Skibinski and Eric Fleet, who was replaced by board member Wolfe, to renew Schlottman’s contract. The deadline for the next phase of applicants is July 26, with interviews scheduled before the JUHSD board and a community panel on Aug. 6, just four days before school starts for the 2016-17 school year. Finding a suitable candidate will likely continue to be difficult. The local district is offering less salary than other school districts — for more responsibility. Whoever ultimately takes the job will immediately be faced with a staff that has had to endure pay cuts. Additionally, some staff will have to teach classes in subjects they are not accustomed to in order to cover

Exciting News at the California Wolf Center By Angela McLaughlin ~ the journal
T
he California Wolf Center in Julian recently confirmed the birth of seven Mexican gray wolf pups. This is a huge success for the center and for the survival of the species. Mexican gray wolves are a sub-species of the North American gray wolf.Their range has historically covered areas of Mexico, Arizona,Texas and New Mexico.They nearly disappeared from the wild, with only seven unrelated Mexican gray wolves left in the world, before becoming federally protected. Even so, there are fewer than 400 in existence, making them a critically
endangered species. The center recently started a fundraising campaign at www.gofundme. com/protectlobos to help support Mexican wolf recovery and the new litter of puppies. As one of the largest participants in the Mexican Wolf Species Survival Plan captive breeding program, the center plays an important part in their recovery in the wild. The litter, which includes three females and four males, has successfully passed their first health checks and vaccinations. California Wolf Center Director of Operations Erin Hunt says they are “cautiously optimistic.” Mexican gray wolf pups were recently born at the California Wolf Center.
The center will be using remote cameras to monitor the pups, striving to be as non-invasive as possible. “Preventing habituation is absolutely critical to the success of these wolves if they are to be released into the wild — which we hope they will be someday,” says Hunt. Due to the possibility of being release candidates, the puppies and parents will not be exhibited to the public. However, the center’s usual public and private tours will continue. Hunt says, “We are over-themoon excited about this important contribution to Mexican gray wolf recovery.”
The pups’ parents are part of a captive breeding program.

Since then, he has undertaken an even “loftier” position as the Chamber leader. “We intend to reach people living in Coachella Valley, Palm Desert and others in the desert areas to tell them that it’s cooler up here,” he said. As added incentive, people in town have worked together to establish many entertaining events throughout the year, such as the banjo and fiddle contest, Dance and Backcountry Barbecue, historical skits, Blues Bash, music festivals and other live entertainment, and the big Fourth of July Parade. Julian Chamber is a member of the San Diego Tourism Authority, formally known as the Convention and Visitors Bureau, to help broaden national and international interest. A recent visit by a Japanese travel photo crew proved there is widespread interest from out of the area. Along the way, Glass says the town has greeted visitors from Canada, Mexico, China, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ethiopia and South Africa. “Personally, as an innkeeper I have seen people from all over.” Glass and his S TAT E

wife, Dawn, are proprietors of Butterfield Bread & Breakfast. He says there are still some people who don’t know anything about Julian, and he hopes to change that. Glass believes a major encouraging point is that the Chamber has 300 members, which he considers large for the town’s size. “Borrego Springs, which is twice our size, has fewer members,” he said. Ramona, which is a much larger community, has 350 or so. He emphasized the importance of bringing attention to the area’s growing wine industry. However, he feels San Diego media still devotes more attention to Temecula and Napa Valley. “The good news is that we have the benefit of five Chambers of Commerce around here to work together to promote the backcountry,” he said, referring to the Back Country Coalition, a newly established group made up of Chamber representatives from Julian, Ramona, Valley Center, Borrego Springs and Alpine, who are collaborating to promote the area. “The best way,” he says, “is to establish personal relationships.” n FA C I L I T Y

Warner School District Trustees Meet Year-end Deadlines
W
arner Unified School District Board of Trustees approved the 2016-17 budget and the three-year Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) at its July 7 meeting. The monthly board meeting, originally scheduled for June 14, was moved to June 28 to allow more time for meeting state-required deadlines for approving the budget and LCAP. The June 28 meeting was postponed due to a lack of quorum of board members. It was rescheduled for June 30 but postponed again because of the quorum requirement to hold a
meeting. It then took place on July 5. Superintendent Melissa Brown read the LCAP report in its entirety, before the board accepted it with a 3-0 vote, with trustees Katie Ostrander, Maria Hill and Ed Norte in agreement. Trustee Brandie Taylor was not in attendance. Board President Angela Acosta was not present, having submitted a letter of resignation on June 22. The trustees have yet to accept Acosta’s resignation; however, Vice President Ostrander announced she will be filling the position of president through the end of the year. The trustees agreed, with a 3-0 vote, to
leave Acosta’s position open and wait until the General Election in November to fill it. Norte’s board seat will also be up for election in November. Ostrander and Hill are halfway through their terms of office. Deadline for candidates to file with the County Registrar of Voters will be Aug. 17 if incumbents do not seek re-election. Filing starts on July 18. The main goals for LCAP cover student achievement for college and career readiness, according to Brown’s report. Other goals include improvements on the dropout rates; adding teaching positions where needed; creating a security loss
Joint Venture to Build Rehabilitation Hospital hospice services. “We at Palomar Health are delighted to continue our longstanding partnership with Kindred Healthcare, an internationally recognized expert in rehabilitation,” said Palomar Health President and CEO Robert Hemker. “This joint venture to build a new inpatient rehabilitation hospital demonstrates our commitment to ‘Patient First’ care by allowing us to expand our high quality and trusted rehabilitation services.” Representatives of Palomar Health and Kindred Healthcare stated that they are looking forward to
the joint-venture and believe it will greatly benefit rehabilitation patients in the San Diego area and adjoining counties. Kindred President and CEO Benjamin A. Breier said, “This new hospital will provide inpatient rehabilitation services that complement Palomar’s highly regarded acute care services and help patients recover and return home.” The hospital is expected to open by the third quarter of 2019, subject to several regulatory and other approvals. n

The board did not approve extra-duty pay, totaling $34,000, for the coming fiscal year for the superintendent and her designees to perform duties of the high school assistant principal, a vacant position that has not been filled. However, the trustees did approve covering $11,000 for those duties, which included student disciplinary action that had occurred in the 2015-16 school year. The next board meeting, originally scheduled for Aug. 9, has been moved to Aug. 16 to accommodate availability of the trustees. Meetings begin at 5 p.m. at Warner Community Resource Center, located across the highway from the school district. n

Palomar Health and Kindred Healthcare Inc. of Louisville, Ky., announced plans for a joint venture to construct and operate a 52-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital. Built by a third-party developer and requiring no additional capital expenditures by Palomar Health, the hospital will be located on the Palomar Medical Center campus and managed by Kindred, which currently manages the inpatient rehabilitation unit at Palomar Health’s Downtown Campus and a transitional care hospital in San Diego, as well as home care and
prevention position; and maintaining safe drinking water for students, staff and community members. Another change involves eliminating a late-start schedule for students on Mondays and switching to early-release on Wednesdays. Chief Business Official Andrea Sissons reported on the final budget presentation for the 2016-17 school year. The first interim report on the budget will be due in December. Other action by the board included accepting a contract bid from the County Department of Education to provide professional development services at no cost; accepting the master schedule for student classes as presented by counselor Katie McCloud; approving a temporary transfer of funds from the cafeteria account so checks

Let Medicare Help You Stop Smoking By Cate Kortzeborn
I
t’s never too late to quit smoking. While it’s best to stop as early as possible, kicking the smoking habit at any age will enhance the length and quality of your life. As soon as you stop, your body begins to repair the damage caused by smoking. You’ll also save money, and you won’t have to run outside your home or office every time you get the urge to light up. Medicare covers counseling sessions to help you stop smoking, even if you haven’t been diagnosed with an illness caused by tobacco use. You pay nothing for smoking cessation counseling, as long as you get it from a doctor or other qualified provider who accepts Medicare reimbursement. Many state Medicaid programs cover smoking cessation services, as well. Smoking tobacco can cause many diseases, including heart and respiratory diseases, and lung cancer — the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. More than 56 million Americans still smoke tobacco, but quitting can reduce your risk of getting these diseases. If you have Medicare or Medicaid, make a note to talk with your doctor about quitting. Medicare covers eight face-to-face smoking cessation counseling sessions during a 12-month period. During these sessions, your doctor may follow the “5 A’s” approach: ask patients about their smoking habits, advise them to quit, assess their willingness to quit, assist their attempts to quit and arrange follow-up. To help you get off and stay off tobacco, your physician may prescribe one of seven antismoking drugs currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Medicare often covers such medications under its Part D prescription drug program. Here’s what you’ll experience when you stop smoking, according to the American Lung Association: • Twenty minutes after quitting, your heart rate drops to a normal level. • Twelve hours after quitting, the carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal. • Two weeks to three months after quitting, the risk of having a heart attack begins to drop and lung function begins to improve. • One to nine months after quitting, coughing and shortness of breath July 14, 2016
decrease. • One year after quitting, your added risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker’s. • Five to 15 years after quitting, the risk of having a stroke is equal to that of a nonsmoker’s, and the risk of getting cancer of the mouth, throat or esophagus is half that of a smoker’s. • Ten years after quitting, your risk of dying from lung
cancer or bladder cancer is about half that of a smoker’s, and your risk of getting cervical cancer or cancer of the larynx, kidney or pancreas decreases. • At the 15-year mark, the risk of coronary heart disease is the same as that of a nonsmoker. For those who currently smoke or have smoked within 15 years, Medicare covers screening for lung cancer
with low dose computed tomography. To qualify, you must be age 55 to 77, have a tobacco smoking history of at least 30 “pack years” (an average of one pack a day for 30 years), not have any signs or symptoms of lung cancer, and obtain a written order from your physician or qualified non-physician practitioner. You pay nothing for this screening if your doctor or other qualified
provider accepts Medicare reimbursement. For information on kicking the habit, visit www.cancer. gov/about-cancer/causesprevention/risk/tobacco/ help-quitting-fact-sheet. n Cate Kortzeborn is Medicare’s acting regional administrator for Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada and the Pacific Territories.

When Watching Wildlife Becomes Rescuing Wildlife
By Angela McLaughlin ~ the journal
rescuing animals in need — both wild and domestic. They may be contacted by email at ear@rescueteam.com, or visit their website at www. emergencyanimalrescue.org. They have someone available 24/7 to answer questions or respond to a rescue request. Though nobody wants his or her night to end with an animal rescue, it is important to know whom to contact should the issue arise. Knowing that organizations such as Emergency Animal Rescue and FFAWC are there as a resource makes scouting for wildlife more enjoyable. Julian and the backcountry are filled with a wonderful variety of wildlife that is a joy to experience. n
D
riving through the twisting, turning mountain roads around town is a relaxation retreat for the mind. As you pass open pastures of cattle, with a backdrop of rolling foothills, and the setting sun glows pink and orange in the distance, it makes you breathe a little deeper and appreciate the open spaces and nature surrounding you. Manzanita and pine trees line the roads, sheltering wildlife as you drive by. It’s a great area for nature scouting. Animals that are commonly seen include wild turkeys, mule deer, coyotes and red-tailed hawks. Pack binoculars, a camera and a snack for the drive, and you’re set for a mini-safari right in Julian’s backyard. Unfortunately, there are some times when the animals found may be in need of support. When this happens, whom do you reach out to? If it is a situation you are comfortable dealing with, The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center (FFAWC) in Ramona is a great place to bring injured or orphaned wildlife, providing a safe rescue and rehabilitation facility for wildlife. They may also be contacted with questions about whether or not to intervene. Since baby season is still in full swing, litters of rabbits, raccoons and others are often found and could be perceived as in need. This may not be the case, since many parents leave their nests for extended periods of time in search of food and water. They may only return a couple of times a day to check on their young, making it difficult to observe them administering care. This is the perfect instance to contact FFAWC at rehab@fundforanimals. org with questions. Also visit the website at www.fundforanimals.org. FFAWC wildlife caregiver Stacey Parker says that educating the public is part of what they do. They provide advice on how to determine if a mother is returning to her young, what activities are normal for different ages of wildlife, and what behaviors to watch for. She says one way to establish how dire a situation may be is to “approach

There may also be times when a wildlife rescue situation comes up that you cannot handle on your own.

hours of community service before they would be considered. It was intended for use at a four-year college or university, two-year school or trade school. The community service requirement has been removed, and the Jeff Funk Scholarship is now geared toward low- to middle-income high school students looking to attend a four-year college. RFCC has formed a new scholarship program called “New Beginnings/Fresh Start” that officially became available May 1. This scholarship is for low- to middle-income applicants of all ages and backgrounds who seek
to further their education. The scholarship offers $500 per semester and up to $2,000 toward earning a GED, or entering a two-year program
‘Because you gave, we can give.’ or trade school. Scholarship funds will be paid directly to the institution of the chosen applicant. “We are super excited about this new program that will help the entire community of Ramona get a fresh start or a new beginning,” says RFCC President Lori Webster.
RFCC operates on funds raised from selling items donated by the community and puts the net profits back into the community in a number of ways. It is due to these donations that scholarship programs such as this one are possible. Webster says, “Because you gave, we can give.” Ramona Food and Clothes Closet Thrift Store is open Monday through Saturday at 773 Main St. to accept donations and for shopping. Visit www.foodandclothescloset.org for information or to download a scholarship application. n
