Julian Town Hall to Celebrate 100th Anniversary

By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

hen Julian Town Hall turns 100, townsfolk will turn out to celebrate the historic occasion. A potluck dinner and dance is planned for the evening of Sept. 19. In addition to a covered dish, organizers are requesting a $5 donation to help cover the

costs of the celebration. While the celebration will not be a fundraiser for the restoration of the town hall lower level, other events are in the planning stages to help raise funds for the project. A steak dinner at the American Legion will take place Oct. 10. Betty Birdsell, who is organizing the event, estimates

it will take approximately $250,000 to complete the restoration project. “We realize that the undertaking is a monumental one and that much diligent work will be needed to collect the necessary funds for the project,” Birdsell said. The lower level is where craft shows and Chamber of

Before the fair began, the students got together to prepare their animals for show, decorate the pig and goat barns, and prepare for the auction. This year, there were three types of animals that were raised and shown by Warner Springs FFA: swine, meat goats, and dairy goats. These students gave it all they had and ended up taking home

offer and show for this year. Also, the officer team is prepared to show everyone that FFA isn’t just about driving a tractor, owning a cow, or showing animals at the fair.

Two Districts Require an Election in November

By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

everal governing boards in Julian and the backcountry have not had enough candidates to file to require an election in November. If there are only enough candidates to fill the open seats, or in some cases fewer than enough, an election will not be held; the candidates will automatically be declared winners. The districts that will have an election include Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District and Warner Unified School District. The fire district has five candidates for two full-term seats and two candidates for one short-term seat. The fullterm candidates are Ron Brown, Kevin C. Dubler, Patricia Landis, Jack Shelver and Kirsten Starlin. The short-term candidates are Brian Kramer and Harry C. “Buddy” Seifert. The most-contested election

will be in Warner Springs, with eight candidates running for three seats on the school board. They are Carolyn Audibert, Michael Estes, Maria Esther Hill, Donald M. Holt, incumbent Darrell Daniel McManama, Katie Ostrander, David Redewill and Brandie S. Taylor. The districts that do not qualify for elections include Julian Union High School District with incumbents Dennis Cantor and Katherine Moretti, and candidate Tom Skibinski Jr. filling the three full-term seats. At Julian Union Elementary School District, Joy Booth, incumbent Susan Slaughter and appointed incumbent Wade Wylie will be filling the three seats. Spencer Valley School District’s two full-term seats will be filled by Lisa Boyer and Frank Morgan, with the short-term seat filled by

appointed incumbent Cristi M. Lewis. Julian Community Planning Group has five open seats with five candidates: incumbent Patrick L. Brown, Herbert Joseph Dackermann, incumbent Katherine Moretti, Kenny Mushet and Alvin R. Rikansrud Jr. Julian Community Services District has two incumbents applying for the three open seats: Scott Alan Arter and Roberta Zane. Majestic Pines Community Service District has one candidate for the two open seats: incumbent Joseph “Joe” Forrest Connolly. No candidates applied for Cuyamaca Water District, with three seats open, or Wynola Water District, also with three seats open. In Borrego Springs, there will not be any elections.

Backcountry Locales Featured on Quilt Trail

isitors driving into Julian have something new to see along the way — the Julian Backcountry Quilt Trail. A quilt trail is a driving route through rural areas along which property owners have decorated their businesses, barns, outbuildings or residences with painted wooden quilt squares viewable from the roads. More than 130 quilt trails currently exist in 43 states, with at least 3,500 decorated structures, according to Nancy Weber, Julian Backcountry Quilt Trail chairperson. Each colorful pattern is selected or designed by the property owner, often revealing historical connections to the land, business or family, so each trail becomes a unique reflection of the area it covers. The Julian Backcountry Quilt Trail, a project of the Julian Woman’s Club, is the first in Southern California and only the third in the state, said Weber. The driving route is envisioned with Julian as the center of a wheel, extending outward on state routes through

Before You Go Down the Hill

efore you go down the hill to purchase goods and services, please take the time to research your options and give the Ramona business community a chance to earn your business. In our relentless search for ever cheaper prices, American consumers have forced mass merchants to import most of their product. Unfortunately, many major American brand name products are now routinely made up of components imported from cheap labor markets around the world. That is not always the best formula for producing quality and reliability, so beware that you usually get what you pay for. Though we all love low prices, massmerchant discount pricing exacts a cost on our economy. Have you noticed the enormous number of retail store vacancies in our town? The stubborn recession and high unemployment numbers are all side effects of the exportation of manufacturing jobs. I have been a resident of Ramona most of my life, and I feel the pinch when a specialty retailer has to close up shop because of price competition from the mass merchants. It means longer drives to find the goods and services we need. It means less personal service and an

absence of accountability that we used to get from the local, family owned business. And it wounds our sense of community and sends dollars overseas. As a local business owner, I have to answer to my community. I treasure my reputation and will bend over backwards to protect it. I have to make my customers happy, because business would dry up real fast if I didn’t! Clients tell us that the main reason they interviewed us while shopping for a new kitchen, is that they want the money they spend on their project to be returned to the community as much as possible. Americans want to help Americans. Every dollar that is exchanged for goods and services in the Ramona area gets spent locally, again and again. It is a vital cycle that helps us survive in an increasingly international marketplace crowded with imports. When you do business with Ramona venders you are supporting the economic health and vitality of everyone in our community. Please, think twice before you go down the hill. You will be glad you did.

overwhelmed, leaving families, neighborhoods and friends on their own. After the devastating Cedar fire of October 2003, the City of San Diego sought new solutions to meet this vital need. A new, community-based program was developed by the Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District. “These are classes everyone should take,” said John Hake, who has been an instructor for more than five years. The Hakes certainly know about tragedy, having had their home destroyed in the Cedar fire. The program is communitybased to provide rapid and safe care for residents in the event

of a major incident or largescale disaster, the most likely being wildfires. The Hakes advise that CERT volunteers are not intended to replace professional emergency responders, but instead provide basic care, stabilization, evacuation assistance and after-disaster support. “If you can help give them the skills for any case, that is important,” said John Hake. “Particularly, when they are capable of taking care of themselves, family and possibly their neighbors. They offer the eyes and ears for evacuations, set up shelters and assist in evacuations.” CERT membership has

grown to 600. Grants of $18,000 and $20,000 have been received to obtain the equipment necessary for this training. “Creative approaches, including mini-grants, will have to be developed for sustainability,” John Hake added. Instructional costs are free, and a grant covers the initial expense for equipment. The Hakes said they will be starting an adult program of refresher courses and handson workshops in the coming months to not only get members trained, but to give them all the skills and confidence they will need to help their community in a time of need. n

He joined CHP in 1987, and was first assigned to the East Los Angeles office, followed by the San Diego and El Cajon offices.

later started his own company, Russell’s Backhoe, which he ran with his father. He also worked for Ramona General Engineering, a local paving company. He enrolled in automotive technology classes to learn a new trade as an auto mechanic and went to work for Ramona Automotive. Prior to joining CHP, he attended San Diego Miramar College to take classes

in criminal justice. Brean married Cheryl Tobiason in 1980. They had three children: Torry, Kristen and Ashley. His son fondly remembers his father: “I feel like the light has gone out of the world,” Torry Brean said. “But it hasn’t. I see my father in the way my nieces’ eyes light up. I see my dad when I think of happy times. I see him when I think of the future. I know he, himself, won’t be there in the future, which is a painful thought, but he will be there in the example he set for how to live and teach and have fun. “He will also live on as a somber reminder of how life should not end and how important it is to accept help when facing adversity, and in the importance of never waiting a single minute to tell your loved

Anderson Bill Designates September ‘Heroes Month’

California Senator Joel Anderson authored a bill that makes September “California Heroes Month,” starting this year. The bill passed both houses of the legislature unanimously and became law in August. The idea behind the bill, Senate Concurrent Resolution 97, came from a constituent who felt that everyday heroes should receive appreciation. The bill states, “California September 11, 2014

Heroes Month is a magnificent opportunity for the residents of California to educate the public on the importance of selflessly giving and recognizing those local conventional, nonconventional, and unsung heroes within each community.” It is a month dedicated to honoring those who help others, anyone from a teacher, firefighter, soldier, neighbor, or even a child who helped someone carry their groceries.

“It’s important we recognize every local hero for their community efforts,” said Senator Anderson. “These heroes and their good deeds inspire and encourage others to step up to help their neighbors in need.” Nominations for recognition may be submitted by Sept. 22 to Senator Anderson’s district representative Ben Parish at benjamin.parish@sen.ca.gov, or call 619-596-3136. n

Target Practice Banned During Drought

By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

al Fire recently announced restrictions on recreational shooting of guns on public lands due to the extreme risk of wildfire that can result from discharging weapons during the current dry conditions. Shooting is restricted by County Code when the California Department of Forestry proclaims a “high fire hazard,” which it did on June

20, 2014, making it unlawful for any person to discharge a firearm within State Responsibility Areas until the proclamation is lifted. Target shooters still have access to legally permitted shooting ranges and to private land for practice, if the area is properly cleared to prevent igniting brush or flammable materials. In addition, discharging weapons for other legal

purposes is not restricted under the ban, such as in self-defense, protection of animals or property, or in the legal pursuit of game. According to Cal Fire, there has been an increase in fires caused by recreational shooting across San Diego County, including the General Fire in 2013, and the Border Fire last month. Fire suppression costs for shooting-related incidents in San Diego County cost taxpayers more than two million dollars a year. The announcement from the agency also cited the Health and Safety Code, which states that persons who are responsible for starting a fire will be liable for the costs resulting from that fire. Health and Safety Code Section 13009 states: “Any person who negligently, or in violation of the law, sets a fire or allows a fire to be set is liable for the fire suppression costs incurred in fighting the fire and for the cost of providing rescue

or emergency medical services, and those costs shall be a charge against that person.” Gun enthusiast Tyson Flack

of Julian thinks it is probably a wise decision to restrict the use of firearms under the current conditions. “If someone can’t be responsible enough to shoot safely, if they want to shoot at this time, they should go to a shooting range,” said Flack. Another Julian resident thinks that the Bureau of Land Management made the right move in posting signs restricting the use of firearms in locations that are frequented by gun owners. “All over the Southwest, shooting and fire restrictions are in place and posted due to this historical drought,” said Scot Copeland. “We should embrace this temporary restriction and look forward to wetter years ahead.” For the full text of the code, visit www.sdcountyemergency. com/resources/San-DiegoCounty-Code-of-RegulatoryOrdinances-No-Shooting.pdf. n

Small Business Solutions

By Ann Reilly Cole

From Entrepreneur to Employer

ompensation, benefits, training, insurance, occupational safety issues,

health care, job description and background checks are just some of the countless considerations an entrepreneur must carefully ponder before

deciding to take on an employee. A multitude of state and federal laws govern the hiring, firing and managing of employees in the workplace. Compliance with these laws requires diligence and can avoid costly litigation should a problem arise. Nevertheless, loyal employees with a good work ethic are crucial to every successful business and can motivate an entrepreneur to even greater success. The better prepared a business owner is to hire a new employee, the better their chances are to find and hire the best candidate for the position. Attorney at Law Christopher Olmsted of Ogletree Deakins specializes in employment law and advises business owners to educate themselves before hiring by talking with professional consultants to assure that personnel policies are established correctly from the beginning. “California has a very complex set of employment laws, and not many of them are intuitive,” says Olmsted. Starting a new business or growing a business by adding employees is an exciting time, with thoughts of great opportunities to come. At first, however, it may make sense to start with fewer people than you think

you need, and then add others as it becomes essential. According to Olmsted, the first thing employers need to do is check with their insurance broker to make sure that they have Worker’s Compensation insurance coverage. The next step would be to meet with an accountant or payroll company to manage required payroll taxes. A human resources consultant can help with compliance on employee rights and setting up required trainings. An attorney with expertise in labor and employment issues can advise on legal questions, such as whether to hire an independent contractor or an employee. Olmsted likes knowing he can help companies avoid big legal problems. “Few employers intend to violate employment laws, but a lack of understanding can get them in trouble,” said Olmsted. “It’s rewarding to help businesses manage a workforce in an appropriate way to grow and thrive their business.” Working with a human resource consultant is a way for small-business owners to get the flexibility they need to set up best practices for employee relations. Some agencies, for example, can

help create policies and legally compliant employee handbooks tailored to your company, and arrange for HR trainings and audits. They can even help with recruiting and background checks of potential employees, and if need be, help manage resignations, dismissals and layoffs of workers. Julie Wootton of San Diego Human Resources Consulting, Inc., (SDHRC) has been helping businesses with HR needs for 10 years and has noticed that the hiring pool has tightened up. “With the unemployment rate at 5 percent, finding, recruiting and keeping top talent can be a time-consuming, expensive and difficult process for employers to do on their own,” says Wootton. The staff at SDHRC works with businesses of all sizes and can advise on everything from industry pay scales to new hire forms to managing employees while offering a plan designed to suit their clients’ specific needs. Employees are valuable assets in any business. It pays to use the time and resources necessary to institute employee policies and procedures that will grow, and grow with, your company. n
