RHS Graduate Develops Talent for Fine Art By Lindsay Santa
it reminds me of the times as a family when we would stop by after a day at the beach and grab a coffee and a pastry.” What’s most interesting is the fact that Spieker, who paints daily, has never completed a single art class and is entirely self-taught. “God is my ultimate inspirer,” he said. “He inspires me through the magnificent landscapes and scenery that surrounds
O
nly one year ago, Josh Spieker was sitting in classrooms and learning his subjects, all the while, artistic abilities were raging to emerge.Today, the recent Ramona High School graduate demonstrates a remarkable talent for painting. “The spark that gained my interest in painting came from my brother-in-law, Chris Withey,” said Spieker. “I saw him mixing up the paints and applying them onto a canvas. This is when the idea of creating something from nothing inspired me to strive after this passion inside of me — a passion to create. “I learned through many trials and failures, teaching and practicing various techniques,” he added. “With painting, I feel like I haven’t learned it, because I am Josh Spieker and his painting “Endless Possibilities.” Photos by Lindsey Marie Photography constantly learning with every new piece how I can create and improve my techniques.” He primarily focuses on the style and technique of creating luminosity. “I achieve this effect by a process of layering several coats of paint to create depth and a feel that the light is radiating out from within the painting.” He often finds that experiences influence his choice of subjects. “The paintings that “Pannikin” are my favorite are the ones that involve a perus, and the way the light touches the sonal memory. For example, the Pannikin earth. My inspiration comes from the painting — a piece that is an image of one who gave me inspiration.” a coffee shop in Encinitas — because Spieker recently finished The Journey

BLM Sends Fire Prevention Team to the Backcountry A fire-prevention team sent by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) spent a week in the backcountry to get the word out about fire prevention and the implementation of Stage III fire restrictions. The five-member group — four from the U.S. Forest Service and one from BLM — worked out of the Julian Hotel late last month. “It’s all part of the interagency effort to work together and utilize resources to meet critical needs,” says Linda Hecker with the United States Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Region. “It makes it really cost-efficient to just call in the resources when you need them and not have that fixed cost during times you don’t.” The implementation of Stage III restrictions began as early as January in some areas of the BLM’s California Desert District due to severe drought conditions. The district covers most of Southern California, including San Diego County. The team worked to inform the public about current fire restrictions, educating homeowners

about defensible space and patrolling areas to identify hazards or potential dangers. According to the BLM, it is the public’s responsibility to be aware of its Fire Prevention Orders, which are available at http://blm.gov/vxld. Under current conditions, the area continues to experience a high potential for large, uncontrollable wildfires. The BLM advises residents and visitors to be aware of hazardous conditions, be careful with the use of fire, and become familiar with the restrictions and fire prevention.

Ramona Country Fair Stayed Open Through Rainy Weekend By Ruth Lepper
R
ainy weather affected attendance at Ramona Country Fair, but for the most part, everything went on as usual and organizers say,“Everyone had a good time.” “We were way down on attendance this year and probably a couple of thousand dollars off on the carnival,” Bob Murray, chairman of the fair, said, “They kept the carnival going as well as they could. A couple of things they had to shut down Saturday and Sunday, but they stayed open until 10 p.m. Sunday.” Sally Westbrook was in charge of some of the contests at the fair. While the photo entries were low with only seven photos competing for the ribbons, Westbrook said the “Home Sweet
Home” competitions did very well. “The ‘Home Sweet Home’ had some really good responses,” she said. “Jams and jellies had the most. Pickles had the second most. We even had a couple entries for the honey contest.” But another food category was disappointing. “We only had a single entry in our salsa contest,” she said. “It was surprising, because I hear people all the time talking about their great salsa.” Overall, there was more participation than last year. And for next year’s fair, she is already making plans. “We’re going to change the rules a tad bit for next year,” she said, adding she may limit it to one entry per person. “I was really excited this year to see so much participation in the ‘Home Sweet Home’ competition. It makes it
more of a country fair.” The weather had no effect on the Valley of the Sun Pitchers Duel Horseshoe Tournament. Chairman Darrel Kinney said entrants came from all around, including Riverside County as well as throughout San Diego County. Kinney said he was especially pleased to see a former state champion in horseshoe pitching turn out for Ramona’s tournament. There were 22 teams of two people each competing for cash awards. Other contests included pie eating, frozen T-shirts, singing and bands. Lemon meringue pies were used for the pie-eating contest and turned out to be a bit messy but well received. “Icky, sticky” was how Westbrook described it. n

Ramona Siblings Help Orphans in Haiti By Lindsay Santa
W
hile brothers and sisters often quarrel and fight during the summer when they’re home from school, three sets of Ramona siblings banded together and went to Haiti.Their goal was to assist in an orphan relief program and offer vacation Bible school to the children at Maula Jean Marie Home. Three young women and their brothers — Angeline and Austin Minnocci, Hannah and Tripp Reed, and Lindsey and Josh Spieker — all traveled together to Creole, Haiti, for two weeks to lend a hand to those in need. “I saw a huge improvement as far as earthquake recovery,” said Angeline Minnocci. “Tents and rubble were cleared out of the main city.” It was the second year in a row that Angeline and Hannah had visited the area. This year, they decided to invite their brothers along. “Teaching in the workshop, working through technical difficulties with the machines, and figuring out an effective way to keep it all organized were our challenges,” said Angeline. “Also, dancing and giggling and playing with the kids were the highlight of our days.” Austin Minnocci and his best friend, Tripp Reed, felt it would be good to go along to support their sisters, believing it was an opportunity to make a positive impact on the world.
Ramona volunteers and Haitian children gather inside the orphanage.
“So we figured, why not go?” said Austin. “I think the difference in culture came as the biggest surprise. I had never been out of the country before the trip to Haiti, so the only culture I had really experienced was American culture. But the country of Haiti opened my eyes to a completely different way of life. They give up their worries to God. And you could see the connection they had to Him even at a young age. The people

don’t live their lives distracted as many Americans do, but are focused on God and each other.” Josh Spieker, who was also part of the group, was surprised by how the Haitian people are working to survive and to find food each and every day. “It was most challenging to come to realization that the people there were living like they do,” said Josh. “It was hard to come to grips that here in
America, we don’t have to worry about being fed the next day, when in Haiti they don’t know if they have a meal each day.” Last year, Hannah Reed fell in love with the colorful culture of Haiti. “Nothing could stop me from returning this year,” she said. “The children

Visit our website www.ramonainsurance.com Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s visit to Ramona was the lead story on every local news station.
People began lining up early in the morning in anticipation of the doors opening at 11 a.m. at Ramona Mainstage. The event was the monthly forum hosted by the Ramona TEA’d group. It was the 50th forum since the group started five years ago and was the highest-attended event with a standing-room-only crowd. The theater holds 400 people. After hitting the maximum, others were turned away at the door. Arpaio, 82, is well-known for his outspoken stands on law enforcement issues, including illegal immigration, his “Tent City” jail accommodations and the “chain gangs” he established for men, women and juvenile inmates. Arpaio joked with the audience about accepting an invitation to speak in Ramona, while unaware of its location, and when welcoming a crowd of people from Murrieta — “wherever that is” — who were here to reaffirm their stand against having the recent influx of undocumented juveniles from Central America being housed in their Riverside County community. “This is a great town,” Arpaio said of Ramona. “I never heard of it before. I heard of Murrieta.” Tent City opened in 1993, August 14, 2014

tant to me,” the sheriff said. “Years ago, I started (playing) ‘God Bless America’ and the National Anthem every day. Anybody that messes with the American flag, we put them on bread and water.” Arpaio has also taken meat out of the prisoners’ meals. “So everybody is a vegetarian, so we do save a little money,” he said. “It was 60 cents a day to feed them meat. I’m going to start charging them, only a dollar a day.” In 2000, Arpaio started housing dogs in one of the air-conditioned units. This came

take it very seriously. They go to jail if they abuse any animals.” Arpaio has been the subject of a few investigations into his actions as sheriff of the thirdlargest law enforcement agency in the country. “I’ve been monitored by the White House, monitored by the Department of Justice, monitored by the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), monitored by the media, monitored by my wife of 57 years,” he declared. “I’m going to keep doing my job.” Arpaio expressed his views on undocumented migrants coming into the United States illegally. In the past year, 57,000 youth reportedly crossed the border from Mexico into Texas after heading north from Central America and South America. Many of the young people are being sent from Texas to Arizona and California. Arpaio said they should be flown back to Central America and not be allowed to stay in the U.S. “I could be the poster boy for the White House

Zenovic has “a habit of declaring negligence on the part of legal counsel.” Gilpin then said he would be submitting his resignation at the end of the special meeting. RMWD General Manager David Barnum told the Ramona Home Journal that he has since spoken with Gilpin and that a representative from Best, Best & Krieger will continue to work with the district until new legal counsel can be hired. “It may take several months,” Barnum said. “We will go through a public process to identify our needs for legal counsel. It’s a very specific type of law.” The search will include a “request for quotes” and state the type of services required by
a government agency. RMWD pays Best, Best & Krieger $7,000 a month. The attorney fees are billed hourly for services provided to the district. “We’ve had a good relationship for a number of years,” Barnum said, adding that Best, Best & Krieger provided legal counsel for RMWD for about 15 or 20 years. He also said it is not unusual for a district agency to change legal counsel. The special meeting was called by board President Darrell Beck to reconsider a motion approved at the July 22 meeting to schedule a closed session in regard to Director Rex Schildhouse’s complaint concerning two district employees. At the previous meeting,
it was approved 3 to 1 to bring Schildhouse’s employee complaints back to the Aug. 12 meeting in a closed session. Directors George Foote, Schildhouse and Beck voted in favor of the motion, while Zenovic voted against it. Beck said he misunderstood the motion when he voted in favor of it on July 22. “There was a lot going on,” Beck said. “There was some misunderstanding or misdirection going on. I did not intend to vote the way I voted.” A new motion was made by Zenovic that the complaints against the employees not be heard in a closed session. The motion passed 3 to 1, with Schildhouse voting against it and the others in favor. n

Ramona Siblings Continued from page 6 are so eager to help without complaint. They wear the same three sets of clothes and sleep in hot bunk beds and have been made orphans. But every single child at the orphanage is so happy. They look after one another and love each other and are just so joyful.” Because of a little boy named Stanley San Villes, who called Hannah “Me mama,” she couldn’t wait to return. “I fell in love with this 11-year-old boy with sad eyes from day one, and he never left my side,” she said. “This trip, I was reunited with him, and leaving him was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It’s funny how God has given me the ability
to love a child this much that doesn’t even share my DNA.” Lindsey Spieker was asked to use her photography skills to document the trip. “The most moving thing I witnessed was a family sitting around a table inside of their home that was crumbled so bad it had no front wall,” said Lindsey. “They acted as if it was just normal life that their house was missing an entire front. As we drove in the back of the pickup truck, we’d see things like a woman carrying a big load on her head, motorbikes zooming by, bargains being made in the markets and kids running shoeless. Everyone was working, walking

or going someplace. It seemed as if all were in transit.” On the group’s final evening in Haiti, thunder and lightning put on a show while they and the orphans sat in the kitchen and ate popcorn. “We all got to share with each other memories of our time together and give thanks,” said Lindsey. “It was a serious time — emotional, too. “As the kids would speak, Pastor Moula, who is the orphanage father, would translate their words and ours,” she said. “It was the first time we got to have full, understanding conversations with each other.” n Tripp Reed visits with some children.

ot and humid weather has arrived, and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) is offering ways for residential and business customers to save energy and money now and throughout the summer. Increased energy use causes higher bills. Air-conditioning use typically increases when temperatures go up, and coupled with the rising cost of energy, some customers may see an increase in their upcoming utility bills. SDG&E offers resources and solutions to help customers find smart ways to reduce their energy use now to avoid being surprised by high bills. “A key focus at SDG&E is to help provide the tools and resources to our customers and empower them to make smart energy decisions best suited for their home or their business,” said Caroline Winn, SDG&E’s vice president of customer services. “SDG&E has developed technology with a variety of customer tools that will be key to helping customers save energy, especially this summer.” With smart technology, customers no longer have to

Contact SDG&E’s Energy Savings Center at 800-644-6133 and ask for an energy assessment for your business. • Sign up for “My Account” at www.myaccount.sdge.com to get an at-a-glance view of your energy use with the energy management tool under the “My Energy” tab.

wait for their bill each month to find out how much energy they’re using. Instead, they can take an active role in reducing their use. Energy-saving tips for residential customers: • Adjust your thermostat. Set it to 78° for summer air conditioning. • Use fans instead of an air conditioner. • Unplug equipment when not in use or use a smart power strip. • Turn off lights when you leave a room and replace regular bulbs with compact fluorescent or LEDs. • Seal and insulate your home to keep the cool air in during summer. • Lower your water temperature or try a cold water wash with clothes, especially if you have an electric water heater. • Replace a single-speed pool pump with a variable speed one.

Small Business Solutions
From Entrepreneur to Employer
By Ann Reilly Cole
C
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 busi-
nesses 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
to Dr. Kim Dennis, MD, CEO, and medical director of the Timberlake Knolls Residential Treatment Center. “Those addicted to exercise chase the ‘high,’ and this behavior ultimately becomes unmanageable and destructive.” However, Dennis maintains that there are certain criteria that must be met in order for behavior to be considered an addiction: • Tolerance: increasing the amount (of exercise) to feel the desired effect • Withdrawal: negative effects, such as anxiety, irritability, restlessness and sleep problems, when exercise is stopped • Lack of control: attempts to reduce exercise fail • Intention: unable to adhere to intended routine • Time: a great deal of time is spent preparing for, engaging in and recovering from exercise • Reduction in other activities: social, occupational and/or recreational are reduced • Continuance: continuing despite negative physical, psychological and/or interpersonal consequences
“As with many addictions, dependence on exercise can start innocently,” Dennis adds. “The individual often receives validation or reinforcement for exercising. Once an individual is hooked, a need to achieve the euphoric state eclipses all else. Work, family, and social life frequently take a back seat to the necessity of exercising. If deprived, we see withdrawal symptoms, just like you would with any other addiction.” What can you do if you believe, based on these criteria, that someone you know might be addicted to exercise? You may want to first try a backdoor approach to get them back on track. It is not unusual for exercise addicts to do their own thing without any professional guidance, so perhaps you can
appeal to their addiction by purchasing some training sessions from a certified personal trainer (and there are many in Ramona). Meet with the trainer in advance to express your concerns, and perhaps this professional advice can help steer your friend or family member into a healthier and more balanced workout regimen. If all else fails, recommend professional counseling, because addictions of any kind typically don’t go away. Exercise has many benefits, but too much of a good thing is not healthy — not even exercise. n

he classic play about the French Revolution,“Les Miserables,” is a must-see for everyone.The Lamb’s Players’ production is truly fantastic. The story is told completely in song. Every performer in the outstanding 19-member cast has a strong voice to do their characters justice. Brandon Joel Maier stars as Jean Valjean, with Randall Dodge as his adversary, Lt. Javert. Their spellbinding performances are superb. Valjean has served 19 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread. Following his release, he disappears for a number of years, turning up again as a successful businessman and mayor of the town. Javert recognizes the ex-convict and soon is in pursuit. Valjean befriends a dying woman and promises to raise her young daughter. Years pass, and the French Revolution takes over in full force. Noted performances are given by Allie Trimm as Eponine, Christoper Lesson as the Bishop of Digne, Jordan Miller as the student Enjolras,
and young Scotty Atienza as Gavroche. Director is Robert Smyth,

enghini Winery’s grounds will be filled Aug. 21 to 23 with some 800 people casting eyes into the dark skies at the seventhannual Julian StarFest. An associated Saturday-night event is considered California’s largest free public star party. Guests who arrive between 7 and 9 p.m. will be admitted at no cost and may use the telescopes and talk with experts. Refreshments will be served. Event coordinator Hillary Griffith said the sanctioning San Diego Astronomy Association will have 100
different types of telescopes to view planets, galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. “The elevation and dark sky, away from bright city lights, are the big reasons Julian is the ideal location,” she said. “They get a clearer and deeper look.” Griffith says they have camping reservations from people as far away as Arizona and Nevada. “This great community has welcomed us over the years,” she added. The San Diego Astronomy Association is a nonprofit educational organization established and incorpo-
rated in 1963. The purpose of the SDAA is to further the education of its members and the general public in the subjects of astronomy and the physical sciences. StarFest will include lecturers, an optional behind-the-scenes tour at Palomar Observatory, and a night sky photography class led by astronomer Dennis Mammana. Scheduled guest speakers are John Garrett and Steve Flanders on Friday, and Alex McConahay, Jerry Hilburn, Candice Cole and Tom Polakis on Saturday. For those who want to take advantage of all that StarFest has to offer, a one-time fee for the whole

Grape Stomp Festa Continues 18-Year Tradition By Tracy Rolling
Grape Stomp Festa will take place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Menghini Winery, 1150 Julian Orchards Dr., at the corners of Farmer and Wynola roads. Attendance is expected to be about 2,000, with guests often coming from as far away as Los Angeles. Admission is $15 for adults 21 and older, $5 for guests ages 6 to 20, and free for children 5 and under. VIP tent pass is $50, and includes Festa admission. Regular tickets purchased in advance may be upgraded to VIP at the gate. Parking is free. A commemorative wine glass is included with each paid adult admission, while supplies last. Proceeds from the Chamber fundraiser support marketing the

ust as grape-stomping is part of the more traditional method of winemaking, the annual Julian Grape Stomp Festa, set for Sept. 6, has also become a tradition. Unlike mechanical methods of wine-making that use a wine press or other machinery, grape-stomping uses raw manpower to crush the delicate fruit and begin the fermentation process. Organizers at the Julian Chamber of Commerce, event sponsor, say it’s a great experience for the whole family and a chance to celebrate the harvest. Locally-grown grapes are blessed before being poured into two massive barrels, one for adults and one for children. Guests climb into the vats barefooted and stomp the grapes, releasing the juice. Live Italian music plays in the background, changing later in the day to rock-and-roll and dance music. Other activities occurring simultaneously include bocce ball, wine tasting and shopping at vendor booths chock full of food, crafts and wine, including a

vintage produced from previous grape stomps. A special activity area is also available for children. New this year is a VIP tent, which will include comfortable seating, hors d’oeuvres, wine charms, and exclusive access to a no-host bar.
Julian Arts Guild will present its Fall Art Show from Aug. 30 through Sept. 1 in Julian Town Hall. Talented artists from Julian and nearby communities will display their paintings, photography, mosaics, ceramics, printmaking, jewelry and other works of fine art.

It’s Back-to-School Time
T
he dawn of a new school year is an exciting time. Kids may not want to say goodbye to days spent lounging by the pool, but such disappointment is often tempered by the prospect of returning to school with friends. For parents, getting kids ready for a new school year is about more than updating their wardrobe or organizing carpools. Reacclimating kids to the routine of school after a relaxing summer is a significant undertaking. Here are a few ways parents can help
Helping Kids Get Ready kids get a head start as the school year draws closer. • Establish a routine over the last few weeks of summer. Summer vacations typically lack the structure of the school year, and that lack of structure can help kids unwind and make the most of the freedom that summer vacation provides. But as summer winds down, parents can begin to reintroduce some structure into their kids’ lives to make the transition go more smoothly. Plan morning activities

so kids can readjust to waking up early each day. In addition, serve breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same time you typically serve it during the school year so kids’ bodies can start to readjust, as well. • Take kids along when shopping for school supplies. If you plan to buy your child a new computer or other supplies for the upcoming school year, take him or her along on your shopping trips. Kids who get to choose their supplies might be more excited about returning to school than those who are given what they need without offering their input. • Monitor or assign summer reading. Many students are given reading lists to keep their minds sharp over the summer and prepare them for upcoming coursework. Parents should monitor kids’ reading progress and even discuss the books with them when possible. Read along with them if you think it will help engage them. If youngsters were not assigned a summer reading list, assign your own
books, offering rewards when they finish each new book. Kids who read throughout the summer may be more likely to start the school year off on the right foot than those who don’t crack a book. • Encourage youngsters to sign up for extracurricular activities. Many school-age athletes get a jump on the new school year by trying out for sports teams. Such tryouts often commence a week or two before a classes are scheduled to begin, and this can help kids ease their way back into the school routine. But even nonathletes can pursue extracurricular activities before the first school bell rings. Theater programs may hold early auditions or orientation meetings. Such sessions can be a great and pressure-free way for kids to ready themselves for a new school year. The arrival of a new school year can be both exciting and daunting, but parents can help their youngsters readjust to school in a number of ways. n
