Daffodil Show Called ‘Spectacular’
By Annette Williams ~ the journal
Daffodil Project organizer Sally Snipes couldn’t be happier with the public’s support of last month’s Daffodil Show. “We have to thank the community, because so many people came in,” said Snipes. “It was a fabulous community effort. It doesn’t happen without everybody who loves daffodils stepping forward.” Snipes was concerned in the first weeks of March when
unseasonably warm weather caused many daffodils to bloom early. It was feared that there wouldn’t be enough daffodils still in full flower for the show. A Julian Journal article helped her get the word out that daffodils were needed, and the community enthusiastically responded. “People were amazed,” she said. “We had more than 845 entries. Town Hall looked pretty spectacular!” n

Ambulance Contract Awarded
F
By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal
ire Chief Rick Marinelli has a new feather in his cap, as the Julian Cuyamca Fire Protection District (JCFPD) recently made a successful bid for the Advanced Life Support Ambulance Service contract from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. The new three-year contract, which includes a substantial increase in subsidies from the county, began on April 1 and has four one-year options to extend built into it, ensuring that the people of the Julian Service Area (JSA) will continue to receive the same quality of care they have come to expect. The JSA runs roughly from the intersection of highways 76 and 79 to the north, south to near the Cuyamaca School Camp, east to S-2, and west to
near Passing Lane in Ramona. When the previous contract between the JCFPD and the county expired in September 2013, the county put out a Request For Proposals from potential ambulance service providers. Even though the JCFPD had held the ambulance contract for the last 10 years, to be considered for the new contract they were required to respond to the county’s RFP with a new proposal. The JCFPD spent two solid weeks creating their proposal without knowing whether there were competing bids being presented to the county. JCFPD secretary Shawna Simonds was invaluable in addressing the required standards outlined in the RFP to prepare the 150-page response that earned the
contract for the district. One of two offers presented to the county, the JCFPD proposal was chosen to represent the best value based on an evaluation of three equally weighted categories: fiscal and contractual requirements; experience, proposed organization, management and staffing; and program goals and outcomes, general and specific requirements for service and delivery, quality assurance plan, data collection and reporting requirements and automation. Steve Schmidt, communications advisor for Dianne Jacob, acknowledged that the county would like to bring as many rural districts under the umbrella of the San Diego County Fire Authority as

Judge Jessica Ramos presides over the court.
The proceedings began with defense attorneys Lynch and Canales laying out their case in opening statements before the prosecution called its first witness. Over the next two class sessions, prosecuting attorneys asked probing questions of witnesses and presented evidence, while the defense cross-examined, doing their best to poke holes in the prosecution’s case. On
Defendants, portrayed by Cody Perez and Kiara Balcone, listen while prosecuting attorneys present a case against them.
day three, the roles reversed, and it was the defense’s turn to call for witness testimony that might stand up to the prosecution’s attacks. Throughout, the jury listened attentively, and Judge Ramos worked to maintain order and hold attorneys to the standard of law. Once closing arguments by Lynch and Canales were made, there
was nothing left to do but wait for the jury to do its job. While waiting for the verdict, Lynch acknowledged that it is very hard to prove someone guilty without a reasonable doubt, and that attorneys need to be thorough and organized, have all the evidence, and present statements that are 100 percent clear or else they will fail. Canales admitted that it is difficult to prove someone not guilty, and that only the people who were there know the truth. “I learned you have to be strong and sharp about the points and really stick with what you know,” said Canales. In short order, the jury returned, and Killiane read the verdict, “Not guilty,” for both defendants.
The mock trial, an annual event, is part of Martineau’s hands-on approach to bringing social studies to life for
eighth-graders. The class will follow up with a field trip to observe an actual courtroom in session. n

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 backcountry gets spent locally, again and again. It is a vital cycle that helps us survive in an increasingly international marketplace crowded with imports.

efore you go down the hill to purchase goods and services, please take the time to research your options and give the local 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 area? 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

Untangling Julian’s History
A
uthor and historian David Lewis has diligently spent years uncovering the mysteries of Julian’s past and correcting some misleading theories. And this encyclopedic work comes naturally, since he’s the fourth generation of a five-generation pioneering family that first settled here in 1887. He imparts his wisdom on special tours where he says it’s about ordinary people who did extraordinary things. However, his greatest personal struggle throughout his research is dealing with “bogus” historical facts. “Julian history is full of them,” he explained. “Sometimes I feel as though I am rewriting history. It is not revisionist history; it is simply finding the facts that support my work.” He credits longtime friend Ed Huffman for helping him make the research happen “Ed is a first-rate researcher and motivator,” he said. “Our work with the archive committee at the Julian Historical Society and with the digitizing project at the Julian Pioneer Museum has history poised to become a true presence in the town of Julian.” In contacting Lewis, I posed a few questions about the town that has become a haven for tourists. “Julian has long profited from its past but failed to promote it properly,” he feels. “The history of Julian and its pioneers need no embellishment. The
truth is far more interesting.” “What about the mining days — they must have been wild,” I asked. “There were some reports in newspapers — and some might be reliable — that there were more than a few saloons in Julian,” he recalled. “When you have miners in town after a long day or week’s work, they are going to blow off some steam. “Yes, there were fights. Even one preacher wrote of how he had to deck a couple of guys to straighten them out.” I wondered, who were the first merchants and what did they sell? “One of the early merchants in town was a man who called himself Count Dwarakausky, who had a grocery and general merchandise store,” he answered. “Tools for mines and farming and food stuff that could not be locally grown right away.” I inquired about the gold yield. Were there disappointments? Success? “There were ups and downs with the mining,” he said. “According to Leland Fetzer in his book, ‘A Good Camp,’ around $5 million in gold was taken from the mines. I’d sum up mining as mostly disappointment, although there were good mines. Mining was for the most part finished by 1900.” I inquired about law and order. “Order was brought about almost from the start,” he replied. “There was a justice of the peace. There was one

or two lynchings. From what I read, they were justified.” He said the first of his family, greatgrandfather George Ritchie, came to Julian in 1887, and was a school teacher. He homesteaded 160 acres that is still family owned. Grandfather Floyd E. Lewis was a hoist operator at the Golden Chariot Mine in Banner and later drove
motor freight stages between Julian and Foster Station. In 1927, he was appointed County Fire Warden in the backcountry. His father, Floyd (Bud) Lewis, went into service with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, where he served for 37 years. (Next month, a turn to tourism.) n

Recent Rains Promise Blooms for Wildflower Show Thanks to recent spring rains, the Julian countryside is sure to be bursting with color in time for the Julian Woman’s Club Wildflower Show, May 7 to 10. The annual show has been presented for about 100 years and was adopted by the club in 1926. During the show — open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Julian Town Hall, 2129 Main St. — Woman’s Club members will be on hand to answer questions about the variety of wildflowers found in the area. This year, in addition to
wildflowers, there will be a display of non-native, invasive and undesirable plants. Sharyl Massey, a professional naturalist and member of the board of the Volcan Mountain Foundation, has scheduled two off-site presentations about how to identify and remove invasive plants. She will appear May 10 at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Julian Woman’s Club house, 2607 C St., a few blocks from the Wildflower Show. Admission for the show and presentation is free. n

By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal
f you’ve ever wondered how power poles make it to remote or inaccessible locations, this photo captured by Wynola resident Cindy McGrath shows how San Diego
Gas & Electric recently delivered a replacement power pole to a steep hillside off Williams Ranch Road. It was part of the company’s routine infrastructure maintenance. SDG&E spokeswoman
Amber Albrecht explained that the company maintains a 10-year inspection cycle for power poles. How often they are replaced depends on whether or not each individual pole passes muster during annual clearance of vegetation from around the pole and regularly scheduled intrusive inspections, which includes boring into the pole at the ground level to determine its integrity. Poles are usually installed on the ground by workers operating a utility truck, but when the terrain prevents vehicular access, a helicopter is employed to do the job. In a one-day exercise, the existing pole is removed, and the new pole is picked up at the supply yard and set into its foundation from the air. Workers then secure the attachments and turn on the power. n

Cal Fire Moves to Peak Staffing
Cal Fire reports that despite recent rainfall, fire activity remains high. As a result, Cal Fire moved to peak staffing levels in San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, effective March 31. “Even with rain in March, our fire activity has remained 200 percent over average statewide,” said Chief Ken Pimlott, Cal Fire director. “The rain has been great, but it has not been enough to make up for our dry winter and California’s drought. ”While Cal Fire never was able to transition out of fire season in 2013, the return to peak staffing means all equipment and facilities will be
staffed around the clock. The move comes several months earlier than normal, but is needed as spring temperatures rise.” Between Jan. 1 and March 22, the department responded to more than 800 wildfires that charred nearly 2,300 acres. In an average year for the same time period, Cal Fire would typically respond to fewer than 275 wildfires of approximately 1,000 acres. Homeowners are advised to prepare for wildfires by maintaining 100 feet of defensible space. For information, visit www.readyforwildfire.org. n

possible, but respects the community’s decision to remain independent and is committed to providing the best protection it can. Marinelli agrees that Dianne Jacob wants what is best for the community and says that while the JCFPD has no plans to join the SDCFA, he communicates with them weekly, enjoys a good working rapport with them, and appreciates the help they provide. Now that the contract has been secured, the department will hire one or two new paramedics to fill vacancies that arose while the future of the ambulance service was uncertain. “I have no doubt that we will fill the positions with good people now that we have a contract,” said Marinelli. “We are dedicated to providing the best level of service with the money we have.” Looking forward to projects on the horizon, Marinelli says the JCFPD will now work hard to get the new fire station built.

ocal artists and crafters and their handmade goods will be featured at the Julian Arts & Crafts Fair, set for April 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The fair is sponsored by the Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District (JCFPD) and organized by the Julian Fire Plugs, a nonprofit group of community volunteers working to support the JCFPD. Proceeds from the fair will be used to purchase personal protection equipment for the volunteer firefighters. “Everything is looking good!” says Cathy Ozbun of the Julian Fire Plugs. “We have 20 vendors, the maximum number of vendors that we can fit in the Rabobank parking lot. Plus, the Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection
District is going to park a fire truck in front of the venue and have firemen there to talk to the public and answer questions. We are also going to have a beer garden atmosphere and will be selling Nickel Beer, which is a highend craft beer produced by a local Julian company.” She says the Rabobank lot on Main Street is a high-visibility location, perfectly situated for the large number of visitors expected for the Easter weekend. “I think everyone is getting excited, and hopefully the weather will give us a beautiful day.” For information, email julianarts craftsfair@gmail.com. n

dark and stormy night, a broken-down bus and a haunted house portend bone-chilling horror, but the new production from Out of the Box Players is more likely to tickle your funny bone. “Usher: A Totally Teen Comedy” is full of youthful energy and angst, and enough of Edgar Allan Poe’s words and characters to amuse fans of the master of macabre. The show twists Poe’s poem “The Fall of the House of Usher” into a story that brings to light issues of loneliness, peer pressure and finding the will to live, with a cast of archetypical characters with big personalities and plenty of laughs. The play opens when a group of high school students enters the house of Usher to get out of a storm when their bus breaks down. The house is dark, the phones don’t work and the students learn they are stuck for the night while their teacher goes in search of the bus’ missing distributor cap. Eleonora, the self-professed psychic out to make a buck with bad predictions, played by Georgia Phipps, doesn’t know how right she is when she announces that the house is haunted. The decrepit house is full of the ghosts of the Usher clan dating from the 17th century, from Una, played with Shakespearian formality by Isabelle Swift, to the 1960s zoned-out hippie named Mann, portrayed by Frank Stewart. The spirits are stuck in the house until someone can break the curse that has plagued generations of Ushers with an inability to embrace the goodness of life while they have it. An encounter between William, the leader of the
student group, portrayed by Wyatt Stevens, and Madeline Usher, the protective sister of the angst-ridden Roderick Usher, played by Katie Bradley and Liam Windham respectively, reveals that the broken-down bus is a sham orchestrated by Madeline as part of her plan to break the
The cast is bursting with robust performances. Zeralda Stewart is hilarious as Eulalie, a ghost dripping with Southern charm. Tarr and Fether, the gravely pirate ghost and his sidekick, are played by Hana and Casey Darrough with great deadpan. Chuck Preble, the lone adult, plays Edgar the bus driver, haunted not by ghosts but the guilt he carries along with the secret in his pocket. Fortunato and Monty, played
