Ready, Aim, Fire

By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

he severe drought that California faces today raises many concerns for backcountry residents, not the least of which is the threat of wildfire, normally a bigger concern in October than in February. One of the causes of recent wildfires in San Diego County has been sparks resulting from target shooting on public lands under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management. The policy of BLM California is to allow the recreational use of firearms on public lands, as provided for in state law, and to cooperate with state authorities in the enforcement of firearms regulations. Shooters must provide their own paper targets (shooting glass objects is prohibited), remove debris when finished and must not deface or destroy trees, signs, outbuildings or other objects on federal lands that are for the public’s enjoyment. Stephen Razo from the California Desert District office of the BLM outlines the following information on restrictions on target shooting on BLM property:

• Not all recreational shooting causes wildland fires, however, we recognize that some recent fire starts in Southern San Diego County have been the result of these activities. • We presently prohibit the following shooting-related items that are known to cause wildland fires: possession or use of any steel-jacketed, steelcore or armor-piercing ammunition of any caliber; possession or use of any tracer and/or incendiary ammunition of any caliber; possession or use of any explosive or incendiary device, including chemical devices; and the possession or use of any pyrotechnic device such as exploding targets that are detonated when struck by a projectile such as a bullet from a firearm. • While we recognize that these prohibited shooting related items have a high probability of starting fires, shooting standard ammunition not on this prohibited list may also start wildland fires under extreme fire conditions. For this reason, according to Razo, the BLM is coordinating with Cal Fire in the development of measures

that would eliminate the potential of fire starts from the discharge of firearms within portions of Southern San Diego County having a higher incidence of these shooter related fires. At least one fire, the General Fire, which burned 1,217 acres off the Chariot/Rodriguez Canyon in May of 2013, was caused by recreational shooting and resulted in six injuries. Cal Fire has not provided the cost analysis of this fire, but at its peak it involved 1,217 personnel, 42 engines, 54 crews, seven air-tankers, eight helicopters, five dozers and 24 water tenders. By contrast, the Angel Fire, which burned 817 acres in September of 2007, involved 479 personnel, 22 engines and 15 water tenders, and cost $4.1 million dollars. Scot Copeland, who lived near the canyon at the time of the General Fire, is well aware of the numbers of people who use this location for recreational target shooting. “On the weekends, it’s a steady stream of vehicles,” he said. According to Copeland, at the time of the General Fire, individuals interested in target shooting complained to

firefighters about not being allowed to access the public lands to shoot while the fire was actively burning. “The BLM has zero signage on this location — no warnings,” Copeland added. The BLM has clearly outlined restrictions and policies on its website, but getting this information to shooters at popular target shooting sites is problematic, considering the number of acres that are managed by a small staff. With conditions this dry, visitors and residents of the backcountry must be vigilant in observing fire safety precautions if a wildland fire is to be avoided. Citizens may want to contact elected officials to express their concerns and request that a solution be found that will enable gun owners to enjoy recreational shooting while protecting everyone from the threat of wildfires.

hen Julian resident Barbara Livermore was diagnosed with gastrointestinal stromal cancer (GIST) 12 years ago, she discovered that it was a very rare condition. It was so rare, in fact, that she decided to co-found a nonprofit organization — Gastrointestinal Cancer Awareness Foundation (GCAF) — to raise funds for research and support patients. The foundation was designed so that board members receive no salaries or reimbursements, allowing donations and grants go to the cause. “One of the reasons I and two other people started the foundation and GIST Assist program is, when you’re a cancer patient, it’s really important not to feel like a victim,” says Livermore. “It empowered me to get out of myself. We think the whole purpose is to help other people, especially children who are going through it with sick parents.” Experts estimate that 4,500 to 6,000 GIST cases are diagnosed each year in the United States. Sarcomas can develop anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract but occur most often in the stomach, in about 60 percent of cases. While there is no cure for the disease, treatment involves medication to shrink the tumor so it may be surgically removed, and then patients take another medication after surgery so it doesn’t return. The foundation’s newest project, GIST Assist, raises separate funds to give newly diagnosed patients a one-time $500 gift. “Our intention is to ease unexpected expenses, such as travel to GIST specialists, babysitting during appointments, and caregivers,” says GCAF Board Member Joyce Daubert.

at 179 schools across the country, including Julian Elementary School. “Everybody pulled together and felt the commitment,” Livermore says of the book project. She says her doctor originally told her she wouldn’t live to see grandchildren, but today she has eight. “I am doing well, while a lot of other patients aren’t. I go for scans on a very regular basis and take an oral chemo medication that has kept me in remission. It’s such a rare and unpredictable cancer, and sometimes the medication doesn’t work for people. There are so many new drugs on the horizon since I was diagnosed. It’s a leap in the right direction. “I try really hard to help our patients, who call all the time looking for resources,” says Livermore, who sees herself as somewhat of an activist. “I do have resources for them. It’s kind of empowering to get out there and do for other people instead of sitting back and going ‘why me.’ It’s my way of paying it forward.” For information about GIST and the book “Stand Tall,” visit www.gistawareness.org. n

Julian Planning Group Nixes Wynola Solar Farm

By Bobbi Zane ~ the journal

he Julian Planning Group voted a thumbs-down on a request by Minneapolis–based Ecos Energy to plant a 1.0 megawatt solar photovoltaic generation facility on an eight-acre plot along Calico Ranch Road. Approval of preliminary plans to place the solar farm was the major item on the Planning Group’s Jan. 13 agenda. Sixty or more residents of Calico Ranch and interested parties jammed Town Hall to hear a presentation by Ecos representatives and express their concerns in connection with the project. Recurring issues included environmental impact, impact on Calico Ranch Road, fire safety in the heavily forested

surroundings, removal of Engelmann oak trees to make room for the solar farm, industrial use of land previously designated residential, water source for projected landscaping, potential flooding in winter, and a reduction of property values. William Umansky, who owns a weekend home near the property, said, “It makes no sense to create energy by destroying a forest. So do the right thing and find a different site.” Art Cole, another resident, was concerned that native plants in the projected area will be damaged and never come back. His wife, Ann Reilly Cole, expressed concern for the effect such a project would have on wildlife.

760

Everett Delano was worried about possible removal of up to 50 oak trees. And Stephen Kerch said, “It’s the wrong site.” When it came time to vote, Chair Jack Shelver observed that “we are being asked to make a decision without knowing all of the facts.” The entire board agreed and voted to deny the project with the caveat that if new information becomes available they may reconsider. This is the beginning of an extended process with many steps and hurdles to overcome before the county can grant approval. Expect to see Julian residents to appear at any future public hearings on the Calico Ranch Road Project. n

Gregg Sallee

www.julianactive.com

ongtime Julian community figure Gregg Sallee died Jan. 29, 2014, at the age of 80 after a long illness. He was surrounded by his family. Gregg chaired the Julian Community Services District from 2002 to 2004, including liaising with FEMA to provide local assistance after the Cedar fire. He was also active in the Julian Chamber of Commerce, Julian Merchants Association

and the Fourth of July parade committee. He was born in San Francisco in 1933, to Russian immigrant parents and grew up in Sacramento, attending McClatchy High School and California State University, Sacramento. After further study at University of Southern California, he settled in Anaheim and worked for the Anaheim City Schools in its educational television program and as a classroom teacher until his retirement in 1993. Gregg will be remembered for taking unusual paths in life. He was a Northern

California liberal who in the 1960s moved to the Orange County John Birch Society. He was a teacher for whom the California Teachers Association was too conservative, so he started a breakaway union. He was an atheist who joined a church — well, the Unitarians. He was legally blind, yet became a television director. He defied convention by keeping primary custody of his young children after divorce. Gregg Sallee and Bobbi Zane were married in William Heise Park in 1981. They moved to Julian after the construction of their home in 1996. Gregg is survived by his wife, Bobbi, sons Lauren and Nikitin, and grandchildren Misha and Sofia. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Elizabeth Hospice, or that you plant a tree in his memory. n

They Knew Andy Was Around

By Johnny McDonald ~ the journal

ver the years as a sportswriter I have interviewed the elite in sports. There was Muhammad Ali, Bill France Sr., A.J. Foyt, Archie Moore, Sid Gillman, Dennis Conner, Tony Perez, Billy Casper, and on and on. But there was no one quite like the self-described “Mr. 500,” robust Andy Granatelli. He passed away in Santa Barbara a few weeks ago. With Andy, it could be an up-and-down relationship. If I wrote an unfavorable comment about him while at Indianapolis, his parents, who lived in Escondido, would either call or send him a copy of my story. Andy would approach me about it. But he became one of my friends and a sponsor of a motorsports radio show I had on KSON. Andy sought respect in the ever-changing world of racing. As an innovator, it took a while for him to achieve success. He experimented, and like his turbine racecar, he tried to invoke a major change at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. His STP-supported racecars captured the Indy 500, with Mario Andretti in 1969, and Gordon Johncock in 1973. He was a Barnum-and-

Bailey type of promoter to get the recognition he felt he deserved. I can recall bewildered hotel guests walking past this strange-looking turbine racecar he was showing the media in the courtyard of the Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel. With Parnelli Jones at the controls in the 500 (1967), the car wheezed to a halt while leading and only three laps from the checkered flag. We sat in his quiet hotel room with his two brothers afterward. Indy’s rule-makers eventually placed restrictions that would render the machine noncompetitive. His big day was with Andretti, who won the 500 with a backup Hawk machine. Mario had crashed Andy’s

newer innovative car in practice. Granatelli had great success in NASCAR as sponsor of Richard Petty’s allwinning stock car. Contract negotiations centered on the selection of Petty blue paint or STP red. Andy won out. But the stories could go and on as Andy chose to gain respectability in a society where he didn’t always fit. In 1969, Granatelli said of himself: “People say he’s flamboyant, he’s this, he’s that. That’s just me. I can’t help who I am. I was born supercharged.” He has been inducted into every hall of fame but he sought even more attention. He approached San Diego Hall of Champions founder Bob Breitbard about being selected for his Hall of Fame. As a PR member of that sports museum at the time, I was asked by Breitbard to tell him that these honors were for sports figures from San Diego County. “Well, my parents lived in Escondido,” was Andy’s reply. He got his wish from across the street when the San Diego Auto Museum inducted him into its Hall. A character? Sure. But it can be said they won’t forget prolific Andy Granatelli. n

Julian Boy Scout Troop in Good Hands

By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

ulian Boy Scouts are as active as ever since Keith Stringfellow took on the role of Scoutmaster of Troop 690 last year. Stringfellow

was encouraged to step up to lead the Julian troop because he had such a great experience in Scouting as a boy. “My family gave me a whole set of opportunities that no one else could, and Scouting offered a whole

other set of opportunities that shaped my character, leadership abilities, outdoor skills and citizenship,” said Stringfellow. His first mission as Scoutmaster was to grow the troop.

Summer camp is the perfect setting for Scouts to earn badges at outdoor activities. Just as valuable, however, is the opportunity to build troop unity. With seven new recruits, the older boys had a chance to step into

“I could see that the population of the troop was advancing in rank in the mid to older age of the spectrum,” said Stringfellow. Wanting to strengthen the troop and ensure its continuation into the future, he worked with parents to recruit younger kids, nearly doubling the troop membership just in time for summer camp last July at the Mataguay Scout Ranch in Warner Springs.

leadership roles to teach the ropes to the younger boys who were eager to learn. As a result, the Julian troop continued its streak of taking home the coveted Honor Troop award during their week at Mataguay. Under Stringfellow’s direction, which is a blend of boy leadership and adult leadership, the troop divides its weekly meeting time between badge work, physical training and preparing for special events, such as a recent excursion to the mud caves near Agua Caliente. For these occasions, Stringfellow gives the boys some general directions, and they must create packing lists, organize gear and determine jobs and responsibilities for their adventure. Stringfellow enjoys guiding boys toward good moral character development and sees his job as helping them live up to the Scout oath and law, fulfilling the long-term commitment it takes to get the most out of Scouting. No one can do a job like this alone. Stringfellow relies on the help of the boys’ families and has enjoyed

much to offer to all the boys in the troop, not just their own sons. Through Scouting experiences he has observed how bonds between fathers and sons can grow into strong, healthy relationships. Community support is also important, and Stringfellow welcomes the partnership of anyone in the community who has professional experience in some skill, trade or business they would like to share with the Scouts.

McConnell’s Creations Get National Attention

ulian Jewel Box owner Patricia McConnell received national attention for her custom silver jewelry pieces when they were shown at the Cowboy Christmas Gift Show in the Las Vegas Convention Center in December. The show is considered the longest-running and only original gift show of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. As a silversmith, McConnell creates unique, one-of-a-kind custom orders and ready-made pieces using precious and semi-precious stones cut by Joe Law of Ramona. “Silversmithing requires patience, as the high heat put out by the torch is unforgiving if you overheat an area delicate in nature,” says McConnell. “Most jewelers like to work in gold metal, as it is softer and easier to work with a low-heat torch with a smaller flame. But the rewards of creating a difficult piece in silver are gratifying, especially when a customer swoons over a piece that catches their breath.” In addition to offering original pieces, Julian Jewel Box carries vintage

and estate jewelry, and McConnell repairs jewelry. The store also houses a working studio and gallery. “The goal of the shop is to carry local art,” says McConnell. “There are so many interesting artists who live in the area of Julian who do not get the attention they need. Tourists from at least 80 countries yearly visit Julian, and they always ask to see local artwork.” The gallery features artists from Julian and Ramona, including Dave the potter; Priscilla Christopher, ceramics; Mary Carol Belland, murals and paintings; Shelley Madariaga, gourd art; Bill Carter and Ted Snoddy, photographs; and others. In addition, there are handcrafted items in wood and glass, rocks and minerals, leather products, Native American turquoise jewelry, handmade drums, and a buffalo headdress. Simply put, Julian Jewel Box is an eclectic world of gems and treasures. Julian Jewel Box is located at 2125 Main St., on the lower level of The Warm Hearth. Call 760- 765-1139. n

20 Years Serving Ramona

Ever since Ray Kroc built up the McDonald’s restaurant empire, Americans’ view of food has changed.

It makes the trains run on time and provides for the vital needs of your family.

“I can remember the Town Hall dances. Now, there are more people in town in a day than there used to be in the entire Apple Days in the ‘50s. Totally different.” Herding a couple hundred cattle at times became his job. “Started with one cow and soon had 250, then 500,” he said. “And then I began running other people’s cattle.” He said the Lazy R Ranch has been in the family since 1949, and he purchased it from his stepdad in 1966. Now his son, John, runs the ranch. This, too, is an interesting story because John is a quadriplegic from injuries suffered in a truck crash in his senior year at Julian High. “He was in the hospital for a year,” he said. “But one Christmas Eve, he wiggled a toe slightly. Then he began a slow recovery. “He gets around on a pair of Canadian crutches and can drive a car. So he can take care of the place.” Since ‘97, Barney has had a business that supplies firefighter camps with kitchens, portable showers, even washers and dryers.

Barney Balances Two Towns

ynola cattle rancher Barney Murphy lives a double lifestyle, part of the time in freewheeling Lake Havasu and the rest around slower-paced Julian. In Arizona, he might be tinkering on a 1957 Thunderbird or a ‘66 Mustang convertible or getting ready to watch a three-day fireworks show. Here, you might find him with a branding iron at the Lazy R Ranch. “In Lake Havasu (where he has a home), there’s something to do

every day,” he said. “ Totally free. Everything you can’t do in California, you can do there.” His roots are still imbedded on this side of the state line, in a town that has been important to him in many ways. “My wife and I had only $12 when we got married, and at the time they were about to repossess our car,” he said with a laugh. His wife, Mary, is a native of Warner Springs. “When I grew up in Julian, you didn’t have any money, so you just charged it,” he said.

“Started out with just a sink,” he said. “The kitchens are run by prisoners. We can do three fires at one time.” He said it’s possible he’ll acquire a ranch in Prescott, Ariz., for his son to run and close down the one in Wynola. But Barney’s having fun. He belongs to the Over the Hill Gang car club, participating in car shows, and is still a member of the American Legion. He has done other interesting things. “One time a fellow asked if I could lay brick, and although I didn’t, I said, ‘Heck yeah!’ and began laying brick all over the place. Anything for money in those days.” Then he operated a company that built carports. “I hired everyone out of Julian High, and they were great workers,” he said. “Finally I got tired of it after 30 years.

How Will the Affordable Care Act Affect You?

In 2014, you must be enrolled in a “qualifying” health plan by March 31, 2014, or pay a penalty fee on your 2014 tax return when you file next year. The penalty for 2014 is 1 percent of your income, or $95 per person. For 2015, the penalty increases to $325 per person, or 2 percent. Then in 2016, the penalty increases to $695, or 2.5 percent of income. The penalty is limited to three people in the family every year. A qualifying health plan will have to cover 10 essential benefits: ambulatory patient services, hospitalization, prescription drugs, preventative and wellness care, emergency services, laboratory services, maternity and newborn care, rehabilitation services mental health services and pediatric services. Open enrollment for 2014 runs until March 31. After that, you will

need a qualifying event in order to apply for coverage before the next open enrollment in the fall, from Oct. 1 through Dec. 7, for an effective date of Jan. 1, 2015. Many individuals will qualify for premium assistance and some for cost-sharing, which will help with paying premiums. To find out if you qualify for premium assistance, visit www.coveredca.com and use the “Shop and Compare” tool to see what assistance you qualify for. If you need help, there is a link in the upper right corner — “find help near you” — to find a local agent. You may also speak to a certified agent, at no cost to you. Check with your local Chamber of Commerce to see which agents are both Certified Agents and members of your local Chamber. n

File Your Tax Return Sooner Rather than Later

early 150 million Americans will file federal income tax returns this year and, unfortunately, many will be shelling out much more of their hard-earned money than necessary, says veteran financial expert Jeff Gorton. “With the ridiculous complexity of our tax code, I can understand how the average person might want to put off doing their homework, but that’ll cost you,” says Gorton, a veteran Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner and head of Gorton Financial Group. “When you think about all you do to earn your money, and the lengths we’ll go to save a few bucks, it doesn’t make sense to not do all we can to prepare for the inevitable — our compulsory contribution to Uncle Sam’s bank account.” There is nothing unpatriotic about taking advantage of legal measures to reduce your tax bill, Gorton says. Most Americans, however, don’t understand the basics of how to minimize the tax burden. “If you wait until the last minute to do your taxes, you’re sure to miss out on savings,” says Gorton, who offers some basic and more advanced tax-saving options. • Credits: Tax credits are usually subtracted dollar for dollar from the actual tax liability and may be utilized when filing for 2013. They include the Child Tax Credit, which allows up to $1,000 for children younger than 17; the American Opportunity Credit, featuring up to $2,500 in tax savings per eligible student for tuition costs for four years of post-high-school education; and the Energy-Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit, which grants qualifying taxpayers 10 percent of the cost of certain energy-efficient building materials — up to a $500 lifetime credit. The Child and Dependent Care Credit, for those who have to pay someone to care for a child

younger than 13, or another dependent, offers up to $3,000 for one qualifying individual, or up to $6,000 for two or more qualifying individuals. • Deductions: Like tax credits, deductions have phase-out limits, so you may want to consult with a professional. Deductions are subtracted from your income before your taxes are calculated, which may reduce the amount of money on which you are taxed and, by extension, your eventual tax liability. Some examples include contributions made to qualifying charitable organizations. And, you may be able to write off out-of-pocket costs incurred while doing work for a charity. Others may include amounts set aside for retirement through a qualified retirement plan, such as an Individual Retirement Account; medical expenses exceeding 10 percent of your adjusted gross income are now deductible — expenses

exceeding 7.5 percent are still deductible for those older than age 65; and, potentially, mortgage interest paid on a loan secured for your primary residence. • Tax-favored investing: This involves both tax-exempt investments and tax-deferred investments. Tax-exempt investments, which include such vehicles as municipal bonds and certain money market funds, offer a way to grow your money that’s exempt from federal taxes. Municipal bonds are free of federal income tax and may be free of state and local income taxes for investors who live in the area where the bond was issued. Tax-deferred investments, on which taxes are postponed until you withdraw your money, include qualified retirement plans, such as traditional IRAs and employer-sponsored plans, as well as insurance products such as annuities and, sometimes, life insurance. n

Councilman Hikes Coast to Crest Trail from Volcan Mountain

oway City Councilman Jim Cunningham decided he couldn’t wait for the Coast to Crest Trail to be finished if he wanted to hike the entire 70-mile route during his tenure as chair of the San Dieguito River Park

to mountain forests, 0and ends with a spectacular view of the Anza-Borrego Desert. It gives everyone the opportunity to enjoy a vast expanse of open space, which is so rare in Southern California.”

(SDRP), so he worked with rangers to secure permission to hike segments that are not yet open to the public. The hike was initiated May 11, 2013, at the eastern end of the San Dieguito watershed at Volcan Mountain, where the headwaters of the San Dieguito River begin. He was joined for several legs of the hike by Bill Simmons, a member of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy (SDRVC) board, and SDRP Executive Director Dick Bobertz. On the first day, the group hiked about 10 miles of varied terrain, ranging from a 4,500-foot elevation at the beginning to 3,000 feet on Highway 78. Since then, Cunningham and his hiking partners have embarked on other segments of the Coast to Crest Trail, concluding with a planned six-mile coastal section on Feb. 11. “We are fortunate to have such ecological diversity in San Diego,” said Cunningham. “The Coast to Crest Trail traverses habitats ranging from coastal wetlands, to chaparral and oak groves,

Next month, as many as 40 11th-grade students from High Tech High North County plan to begin a similar hike, also starting at Volcan Mountain. The group — led by biology teacher Matt Leader and University of California, San Diego, grad students — will hike 10 or more miles per day over five or six days, with permission from Conservancy and River Park authorities. No camping is allowed in the park, so students will be dropped off and picked up each day of the hike. Along the way, they plan to document their journey with a video that will be available on the High Tech High North County website. More than 45 miles of the planned 70-mile Coast to Crest Trail have been completed and are open to the public. Visit www.sdrp.org/trails.htm. n

Cunningham’s starting point was Volcan Mountain.
