Jacob responded to requests to address problems in neighborhoods and community issues, as well as issues that affect the county at large, and reported on ongoing projects under the purview of the County Board of Supervisors. Community leaders also attended the meeting and used the occasion to provide updates on important local news and activities. Jacob reassured the community that we are “better

Further, Cal Fire has instituted a policy allowing pilots to decide if it is safe to engage in night flying to fight a fire. Jacob reported that as the chairperson, she is working with state and federal agencies to create uniform standards of prohibited activities during severe droughts. The county launched a free app, sandiegoemergency.com, to immediately inform the public about local emergencies. Additionally, landlines and cell phones can be registered with Alert San Diego to receive emergency alerts by phone. Fire Chief Rick Marinelli announced that a new fire engine should arrive in a few weeks, and that the Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District will break ground next

He suggested that the site of the old county dump, which is standing vacant, be converted into a public chipping site for residents. Marinelli also spoke of the value of establishing a fire safe council for citizens to work together toward fire safety. Chuck Kimball, vicepresident of the Julian Medical Foundation, reported that he is still seeking grants to get the new clinic built. The JMF needs about one million dollars to realize this much-needed project. Meanwhile, the clinic now offers regular cardiology, behavioral health and women’s health services.

Apple Tree Realty owner Rick Dyer is hosting the Fourth Annual Julian Treasure Hunt & Garage Sale, Oct. 18. The number of sites has grown each year. Expect dozens of locations, mostly residential, to open at 8 a.m., each marked with an official applegreen garage sale sign. “Thousands of dollars and organizing of this event is currently being provided by myself, that is, Apple Tree Realty,” says Dyer. “Marketing and advertising will stress the allure and attractions of Julian.” Dyer says the communitywide sale makes it easy for residents to make some extra money right in their own yards. The selection should be good, according to Maria Rainbow, Dyer’s assistant and transaction coordinator. “They can find anything: antiques, estate pieces, furniture and lots of good stuff!” Last year’s sale was considered an overwhelming success by participants. Local businesses also enjoyed increased traffic on sale day. “People stop and eat and browse the Julian shops,” says Dyer. “This is a win for the community.” n

Harrison serves as a deputy district director for Representative Duncan D. Hunter, not pictured, and for his predecessor, Congressman Duncan L. Hunter, center, who

was the featured guest. Also pictured is Rick Terrazas, who is running for a position on the Ramona Planning Group and is Duncan D. Hunter’s district director. Harrison is running for the seat currently held by Assemblyman Brian Jones, who is seeking his third and final term this November and will be termed out in 2016. n

Grape Stomp Festa Organizers of the Julian Grape Stomp Festa say this year’s event was the best ever. About 2,500 adults were in attendance, many of whom brought children who enjoyed their own grape stomping barrel, in addition to the one for adults.

Krisie Morgan, office manager for the Julian Chamber of Commerce, the event sponsor, says the fundraiser made the most money this year than any year she has been involved. “The VIP tent turned out successful. I was really happy, because that was my idea,” said

Morgan. “We did PayPal for the first time, and a lot of people took advantage of that.” Bocce ball and other activities, wine tastings from area vintners, and shopping at vendor booths offering food, crafts and wine also kept guests busy. The children’s area drew a lot of interest, and all ages enjoyed the gold-panning station. Adding to the festive atmosphere, Roman Holiday Italian dancers and musicians provided live entertainment. n OCTOber 9, 2014

Wolf takes just two riders at a time on tours of about 1 ½ hours, covering about 13 miles of Julian’s most scenic roads.

ered bicycle, Wolf has designed and created an electric-assist “Wattwagon,” which easily attaches to a standard bike. It

can be used to carry gear or groceries and can push a standard bike up hills or over long distances.

A quick-release rear axle disconnects the Wattwagon from the bike, restoring it to pedal power in just seconds. The motorized wagon is an ideal way for mountain bikers who want to enjoy open-space preserves without using a fossil-fueled vehicle to transport their bikes to the trail. Since motorized vehicles are not permitted on the preserves, they can simply disconnect the wagon and lock it up at the trailhead once they arrive. Electric-assist bicycles are an enjoyable alternative for traveling around the backcountry, whether for pleasure or purpose, and still keep fuel costs low. n

Dianne Jacob Continued from page 1 provided services to local youth, and the search is on for a mobile dental clinic to perform screenings and care for Julian-area residents. Jacob spoke at length about the proposed legislation to allow utility companies to charge solar energy users $10 per month — with a built-in escalation clause — for access to the energy grid, and to adjust rate tiers to benefit businesses and high users while penalizing energy savers. She testified against the legislation at California Public Utilities Commission hearings in El Cajon and encouraged residents to “get off the grid” because rates are going nowhere but up. Referring people to her website for information, Jacob recommended the PACE loan program, approved through HERO, which provides low-interest loans to homeowners for energy-saving home improvements that can be repaid over five, 10, 15 or 20 years on their property tax bills, so the bill stays with the property, should

the owner move before it is paid off. Jacob also reported that the “fire prevention tax” that began three years ago is still being challenged in court. If the court deems the tax illegal, residents who have properly protested this tax will be entitled to a refund. Jacob’s website also has information and instructions on how to protest the tax. Juli Zerbe of Julian asked about the State of California’s attempt to control groundwater. In reply, Jacob reported that the regulation requires a groundwater management plan in certain watersheds. Julian is not in one of these designated areas. Concluding the meeting, Jacob reported the launch of The Alzheimer’s Project, her initiative to join forces with researchers, physicians and caregivers to find a cure; to help get research into clinical trials and the marketplace; assist caregivers; and aid physicians working with patients in clinical settings.

Sales and use tax rates vary widely across California, and consumers may be unaware if they are being charged the correct amount of tax, especially for a big-ticket item such as an automobile. Buyers should generally pay the tax rate where a motor vehicle will be registered, which is usually the owner’s home address. A member of the Board of Equalization (BOE) recently uncovered the fact that the California Department of Motor Vehicles has been overcharging tax to some Californians. “The DMV has always been required to collect the right amount of tax,” said BOE Board Member George Runner, who discovered the error. “It’s vital for taxpayers to be aware of this problem so they can demand a refund if they were charged too much tax.” For example, if you bought a used car for $10,000 and the car will be registered to your home address in Julian, you would owe $800 in tax, based upon the local sales and use tax rate of 8 percent — even if you purchased the vehicle in El Cajon, with a higher rate of 9 percent. If you purchased a vehicle from a private party, and were overcharged tax when registering with the DMV, you may request a refund from the BOE within three years from the date the tax was due. Residents who want to know if they overpaid sales or use tax when buying a car or truck should verify their local tax rate at the Board of Equalization at www.boe. ca.gov/taxrate and review their vehicle registration paperwork carefully. If you were overcharged tax by a registered vehicle dealer, you are required to request a refund from that dealer, as they are the responsible party who paid the tax on your behalf. Requests must be made in writing. Visit www.boe.ca.gov/ formspubs/pub117 or call the BOE customer service center at 800-400-7115. n

It’s located in in the old fire house. “Impeccable to the Core” has that quick, pick-me-up pastry or a blast from the past, a genuine red candied apple, or many other types of candied and caramel apples, brownies, fudge and cookies. Classified as an executive pastry chef, Scott is well established in an era where independent bakeries are few

Interestingly, he doesn’t concentrate on apple pie, but customers do ask for other things with apple in it. A specialty of his is the chocolate bombe, an individual dessert made up of two layers of sour cream chocolate cake, filled with Belgian chocolate mousse,

Lost

A Tribute to America’s POWs By Lauren Vandewalle

herever you go, whether to a school mall, or amusement park, there’s some sort of lost-andfound bin, information desk or child pickup area.There’s always a place you can turn to as a last resort, hoping that some stranger performed a good deed and returned your missing article. And usually, someone does. Inevitably there are people who live by the saying “finders keepers, losers weepers,” but it’s surprising in this day and age to see humans respecting others and their missing items. On the battlefield, there is no lost-andfound bin between opponents. Anything, or anybody, for that matter, can be found by the wrong person and captured, hidden away, claimed as new property. Lost — and unrecovered by fellow servicemen and women who mourn their friend becoming a prisoner of war. With no lost-and-found bin to turn to, there’s nothing to do but hope and pray for his or her return. On the battlefield, there is no information desk between opponents. No matter how many people a spouse calls, searching for information about a missing husband or wife, that spouse will never find the lost loved one. No matter how hard children cry at night, there’s no operator on the other side of the telephone, explaining where and how the POW is. On the battlefield, there is no soldier pick-up area between opponents. Soldiers unfortunate enough to be

captured are taken as prisoners, taken to a mysterious, unknown place. Perhaps there are hospitals there to clean up the prisoner’s wounds — perhaps there are not, or perhaps he or she will not be admitted. Perhaps the captors will be compassionate — perhaps they will torture. Perhaps, one day, the prisoner will make it out alive — perhaps not. In the real world, the one most of us experience, the one that I’m blessed to call normal, this battlefield landscape is not reality. In the real world, there are lost-and-found bins, but there are bad people, too, whose selfish desires will trump the thought of returning a found item These people who are stolen from, though, can go to the store and buy a new, possibly even better, version of the same item. That doesn’t happen in the world of war. A prisoner can never be replaced by his or her family, never upgraded. What can a family do when asked how they are doing, with no idea as to where their soldier is? Lost. There’s nothing a family can do but to say that a loved one is lost, and they are lost without him or her, and no purchase from any store could ever make them found again. I’m blessed to live in America, where the First Amendment guarantees the freedom of speech and of the press, where information exudes from the Internet and information centers can be found in every tourist location. Someone, somewhere, always seems to have the answer and communicates it through speaking or writing. The country and

beyond is a web of philosophical, intelligent people with all the information and support one could expect from humans. In the world of war, though, information becomes skewed. Propaganda twists the world’s citizens’ minds in completely different directions — sometimes certain news is blocked on computers, and

rumors and truth combine in a confusing blend. And somewhere, amidst the flurry of chaos and anxiety that is war, POWs wait, captured in the hands of the enemy, longing for the fight to be over and the journey home. Here in America, we fight for the lives See LOST continued on page 15

The Big Kitchen Remodel Question: Refinish, Reface, or Replace Your Old Cabinets?

For homeowners who want to modernize their old kitchen, the big question is, should I refinish, reface or replace my older cabinets? I recommend each case be reviewed based on the answer to several qualifying questions. First, what are your main reasons for modernizing your kitchen? • Eliminate the ugly and impossible-tomaintain tile countertops. • Increase the food preparation space. • Improve cabinet access and increase storage. • Make my kitchen an inviting and exciting part of my home. Are you planning on staying in this home for a long time? • Yes, we have decided this is something we want for ourselves. • Maybe, we might downsize in the next few years. • No, we will be moving soon. Do the existing cabinets have high quality hinges, drawer guides and interiors? • Not sure. Everything works but the house was built 25 years ago. • No, the drawers are difficult to operate and the hinges are exposed. • Yes, the builder used good materials and the only problem is the look. Do you have a budget allowance that may influence your choices? • Yes, we are on a fixed income and can’t spend our retirement to do this. • We have no idea what the costs may be, so we have not developed a budget. • We are prepared to do what it takes, but it has to be within reason. My recommendations flow from the answers to these fundamental issues. For example, it doesn’t

760-788-6900

make sense to put brand-new granite countertops on top of broken-down, 25-year-old cabinets. Sometimes the cabinets are still in good operating order and refinishing is the right choice. That determination should be made after a professional inspects them inside and out. The next step is to assess the workability of the kitchen layout; do you have low-hanging cabinets blocking the view into the adjacent family room? Do you have more than one way in and out of the kitchen? Is there adequate preparation and staging space to properly prepare and serve a meal? Can you reach into the corners of the lower cabinets to retrieve stored goods? Are the shelves properly secured and sealed from contaminants from canned foods or storage containers? Finally, if you need to replace all or most of the appliances, including the sink and faucet, this may be the best time to make the corrections in the other aspects of the kitchen that constantly remind you that it was built 25 years ago. Many companies advertise that they can reface your existing cabinets for half the cost of replacement cabinetry. This would be true if you did nothing other than re-dress the cabinets, but if you are going to replace the countertops, appliances, lighting and flooring, it may save you as little as 10%. That is because the majority of the cost in cabinetry is in the doors and drawers, all of which get replaced in a reface job anyway. My advice is to consult a kitchen design professional before you make any major decisions regarding your kitchen project. The right decision will be much easier if you have reviewed all of your options.

Julian Woman’s Club Dedicates Quilt Trail By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

ulian Woman’s Club gathered recently at Wynola Pizza & Bistro to celebrate the installation of the first 10 blocks on the Julian Backcountry Quilt Trail, a collection of quilt-inspired panels decorating barns and businesses on San Diego County’s rural roads. Buildings accented with the colorful panels may be found in a 30-mile radius from the center of Julian. County Supervisor Dianne Jacob joined in the festivities to acknowledge the accomplishment and enjoyment that the project will provide for years to come. Quilt chairperson Nancy Weber addressed the crowd, stating that one of the missions of the Julian Woman’s Club is to serve the community, and that part of that service is to bring art and beauty to the people they serve. Response from the community members who agreed to pay $25 annually to install a panel as part of the trail

was so robust that they exceed their goal of six quilt blocks by dedication day. With phone calls almost daily from people who want to participate, Weber is thrilled with the enthusiastic results so far. “Two more quilts are coming in the next few weeks, and seven others have committed to participate,” said Weber. While there is a format to the project, property owners choose their own designs, which often tell a story about individuals and properties involved and create an ongoing history of life in the backcountry. Jacob congratulated the leadership it took to get this off the ground, saying, “Now Julian will also be known for its backcountry quilt trail, a fantastic accomplishment that will become part of the fabric of the community.” For information, call Weber at 760-765-2818. n

A Pet-Friendly Home for Fall

hen summer turns to fall, not only do the seasons change, so do the needs of our beloved pets. As important as it is to guarantee pet safety in the summer heat, it is crucial to note that cooler weather also brings health and wellness risks. Dr. Mitsie Vargas, a veterinarian with the American Veterinarian Medical Association, provides seasonal pet tips that can improve wellness of your pets this season. • New objects in the home. Fall means back to school, which also means new items appear in the house. Treat pets like curious toddlers and place harmful objects out of reach. • Nutritional needs. Talk to your veterinarian about your pet’s specific nutritional needs as the temperature

drops. Outdoor pets, for example, may need to eat more than indoor pets in order to generate enough body heat to remain warm. • Physical activity. As the weather becomes colder and pets need more of their energy to remain warm, it is sometimes necessary to cut back on your pet’s physical activity. • Early detection. Summer is a great opportunity for pets to be outdoors, and with outdoor exploration comes exposure to bacteria and diseases. These diseases may not appear in pets right away, so taking precaution at the start of the new season is advised. With Halloween quickly approaching, the AVMA suggests ways to ensure a happy and safe holiday for your pet.

• Put away holiday food and candy. One of the main challenges of this time of year is the excess of food in the home. Be sure to keep people food and treats in places that cannot be accessed

by your pets, especially toxic items that may contain chocolate, xylitol, grapes, raisins and onions. • Avoid hazardous decorations. Seasonal home decorations, such as candles and potpourri, may attract the attention of a curious pet. Owners should take care that pets are not left alone in decorated rooms. • Take care around house guests. Festive occasions draw family and friends, but some pets get scared or excited around a large group of new faces. For safety’s sake, consider placing pets in a separate room. Help every member of the family safely enjoy the fall season, including your pets. n

Lost Continued from page 11 of others. We Walk for the Cure, hand out lunch to the homeless, and even send Christmas packages to those living abroad. Americans value life, the tradition of family and the concept of selfless love and harmony across borders. We help each other get through the tough times, and celebrate when the community thrives. This value of life dwindles noticeably in the eyes of an opponent staring at POWs. In the big world, not all are regarded as equals like in America. Religion and political views in foreign countries preach differently, making the chance of survival appear bleak for many POWs. With nowhere to be picked up, nowhere to be rescued, these POWs have no choice but to wait for fate to happen, fondly recalling the America where life is so treasured, regardless of who the person living is. Being lost is terrifying. I know what to do if it happens, though — go to a lost-andfound bin if I’m missing something, go to an information desk if I, myself, feel lost, and go to a child pick-up center if a youngster disappears. This security of knowing where to go makes the concept of being lost less scary. Security of knowing where to go does not exist for POWs. This is what makes me admire our servicemen and women so much. There’s so much risk involved on the battlefield, as if being deployed for months at a time, away from family and OCTOber 9, 2014

the greatest country on earth, wasn’t hard enough. Death is highly possible, but so is becoming a POW, being lost with nothing to do but wait, hoping that torture and illness will not occur prior to being set free. There is no security in the enemy’s hands. The horror of being a POW makes the return even more glorious. Like finding a diamond in the carpet after it’s fallen out of a ring’s setting, or finding a hundred-dollar bill underneath the couch cushions, it’s the kind of finding that seems to go against all odds. It’s the kind of return that makes family and friends and even strangers cry, the homecoming that’s all the more exuberant because of the wait the service member had to endure. If there’s one thing that’s the same between my world and the world of war, it’s the phrase, “Finders keepers, losers weepers.” Many soldiers are lost at war — missing in action, killed or taken as POWs and never returned — and many tears are shed for them. But then, many POWs are found, regardless of the nonexistence of lost-and-found bins, information desks and pick-up areas. Although Americans may or may not weep when these POWs come home, one thing is certain — finders keepers. These former POWs will be kept close to America’s heart forever.

BBS Playhouse Stages Play by Local Playwright By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

ust in time to put you in the mood for the ghosts and goblins who will soon come knocking, Out of the Box Players will perform “Johnny Brooke: A Ghost Story,” written by La Mesa playwright Marian Blair Hollingsworth. With a cast of faces familiar to OTBP audiences, and some new talent as well, the thoughtprovoking production under the direction of Juliana Stewart is filled with emotion and is sure to deliver. The sensitive story opens with Eliza Manning, a psychologist and single mother of three teenagers, played by Kelli Roseberry, agreeing to rent a four-bedroom house for the unbelievable and toogood-to-be-true price of $200 per month. Unbeknownst to Manning, Mrs. Wooden, who is played by Jennie Bowman, inherited Brooke Manor from her uncle and cannot keep tenants because everyone knows the spirit of Johnny Brooke, played by Russell McCubbin, haunts the house. Nosy neighbor Muriel Simmons, played by Sharon Crosswhite, warns Wooden that she must tell the unsuspecting Manning family that the house is haunted, but Wooden has a mortgage to pay and keeps her secret to get the out-of-towners locked into a lease. Her secret is quickly exposed however, when Brooke’s ghost appears to

From left are Russell McCubbin as Johnny Brooke, Rob Bradley as Ken Lehr, and Jennie Bowman as Mrs. Wooden.

Manning’s eldest daughter, Michelle, played by Katie Breitinger. Michelle is the only one who can see the spirit, and the two become fast friends, helping each other cope with dilemmas of life — and of death. There’s plenty of fun and humor in this atypical haunted house, with a mystery to solve, sibling rivalry, a meddlesome neighbor and an all-girl slumber party thrown into the mix. The show opens Oct. 17 and runs for five performances at the Bonham Bros. & Stewart Playhouse in Ramona. Call the box office at 760-784-0856. n

Music Festival is a Hit at Vineyard Venue A large audience turned out for last month’s Julian Music Festival at Menghini Winery. “The weather was spectacular, the performers simply fabulous and the venue picturesque,” said event organizer Terry Cox of Cox Productions. n

A Reason To Celebrate

JUHSD Dedicates New School Buildings By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

he official grand opening of the new science building and little theater of the Julian Union High School District drew a crowd of alumni, students, former and present staff, school board members, families and the community at large. It was a glance back at the struggles of the past and a look forward to

edge the perseverance and commitment that it took to create a building worthy of the dreams and aspirations of Julian’s citizenry and to publicly thank those who made it possible. JUHSD Board of Education President Katy Moretti addressed the gathering, noting that this month marked the first meeting in her long tenure on the board without a report on the status of the beleaguered science building.

JUHSD Superintendent/Principal David Schlottman details the long road it took to complete the reconstruction of the science building and little theater.

Moretti thanked the people of Julian for getting the job done — and done right this time. “We as a community have made right the wrong that was done so long ago.” After a ribbon cutting ceremony, the JUHSD Board invited the public to tour the inside of the new and refurbished

brighter days ahead for the district, now that the long-overdue project is completed. Superintendent/Principal David Schlottman invited everyone to acknowl-

buildings. Visibly happy with the results, community members entered through the main hallway and lingered in the classrooms. Lusardi Construction and Davy Architecture provided dinner and dessert on the main lawn, where folks socialized until dusk. n
