Makeover at Jess Martin ParkBy ann reilly Cole ~ the journal

From Main Street in Julian, take a drive south out of town on Highway 79, and in a few minutes

you’ll see a spiffy new sign welcoming you to Jess Martin County park.

The latest improvements don’t end with the inviting signboard, which had input from the Julian Architectural review Board. on track to be complet-ed by this summer is a shade structure for the playground, better fencing and

improved ball fields. it’s all part of a public works proj-

ect approved by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development through Community Development Block Grants (CDBG).

The junior and large ball fields have been graded and are now much safer for athletes. A new high-use-resistant grass will be installed in July, which will improve playing conditions. The fields will stay emerald green long after El Niño is behind us, since the

low-capacity watering system that served JMCp for many years has been replaced with a modern “smart” irrigation mainline, fed by well water. New irrigation lateral lines and a clock system will be installed with the sod. in addition, a new seepage pit system has been installed to accommodate wastewater from the volunteer site and future above- ground improvements.

“We’ve replaced outdated irrigation

Taste Of Julian Promotes Julian Dining

By ann reilly Cole ~ the journal

For the price of a good dinner, 200 lucky diners had the chance to sample

more food and drink than they could fit into their stomachs on a leisurely afternoon, all while enjoying the ambiance of Julian’s finest eateries and the beauty of the backcountry at the eighth annual Taste of Julian.

The April 9 Julian Chamber of Commerce fundraiser not only raised funds for the Chamber, but also hopes to raise awareness of inde-pendent establishments and promote Julian as a dining destination.

A pre-sale ticket of $25 — or $30 on the day of the event — got each taster a wristband, map, free parking and access to 26 participating restaurants, bakeries, wineries, a brewery and a local market, for sam-ples of their finest fare. For their part, the local businesses supplied generous samples to support the Julian Chamber and introduce tasters to their establishments and menus.

it’s easy for diners to get into the rut of ordering the same thing at the same restau-rant. participating in Taste of Julian gave diners a chance to try some place or something new and be part of a rural dining adventure that often felt like a traveling party.

Niki Quillin of ramona came to Julian for the week-end to celebrate her wedding anniversary and got the ToJ wristbands as part of a special at the Julian lodge. After

stopping at nine establish-ments and feeling too full to eat another bite, she opted to stay in the car with her sleep-ing baby while her husband made a final stop at Jeremy’s on the Hill.

Until her husband told her

she had to taste one last dish.Jeremy’s served a potato

artichoke gratin topped with a butternut squash kale sauté and freshly shaved parmesan cheese. it’s set to be the new potato side dish at the farm- to-table restaurant.

Dustin Michel of Julian Wine and Chocolate pours a sample for Darcie and Chris Webber.


“it’s really cheesy, creamy potatoes with a bunch of veg-etables. i’m glad we stopped here,” said Quillin, who plans to visit Jeremy’s for dinner

sometime soon.Down the road at Julian

Hard Cider, tasting room manager lucia D’Elia described the two new

flavors she was pouring. pear-A-Normal, an apple-pear blend with mint leaves and lime juice, is just a week old. And Hard root Beer, a sweet apple base with 100 percent pure vanilla extract, natural root beer flavors and pure brown cane sugar, debuted at the event. Both are only available on tap.

Darcie and Chris Webber, who are from Cardiff and have a house in Julian, had a fantastic time on the self-guided tasting tour, as it intro-duced them to some wineries and restaurants they weren’t familiar with.

“i’d never been to the tea shop before,” said Darcie. “We had a great time there, and the soup at the farm stand was really good.”

presented in characteristic British style. Tasty scones or crackers with lemon curd, whipped cream and jams were paired with a choice of Earl Grey with lavender, Carmel Apple or Yorkshire Gold Black Teas.

Wynola Flats produce had pressed cider from Julian apples, a rare treat in April. owner Stacy peyakov, whose family has been making cider from their apples since 1976, froze some of the juice when the apples came off the trees last fall just to be able to serve it at the ToJ this month. She also had gluten-free soup, with or without meat, made from ingredients that she sells at her farm stand.

California Mountain Bakery is new to the Julian landscape, so owner and manager raul padilla Jr. happily partici-pated in ToJ, inviting visitors to try his fresh-baked goods and offering pies, cider and a variety of breads, includ-ing brioche that he bakes for Jeremy’s on The Hill.

“Crusty and delicious,” said Elvia and Anthony Arriaza from orange County, who took the tour with friends from Murrieta.

There is no question that visitors who came from far and wide to sample the variety of food and drink that Julian offers left satisfied and happy. n

Julian Arts GuildA Place for Creative Spirits


Founded more than 40 years ago to promote the arts in backcountry, Julian

Arts Guild is the driving force behind many artistic ventures in Julian.

if you enjoy the seasonal art exhibitions in Julian Town Hall, or the monthly meetings that offer free workshops, demonstrations and speak-ers, or open art studio events, you’ve got JAG to thank. if you’re looking to connect with a backcountry artist working in any of a variety of mediums or styles, the JAG website is a great place to start. if you are an artist or musician looking to promote your work, becoming part of a

professional organization like JAG can up your game.

one of three art exhibitions sponsored by JAG each year, the annual Spring Art Show, kicks off the season with a group showing of member artists’ latest creations. The public can meet the artists at an opening reception on Friday, May 6, from 6 to 8 p.m., in Town Hall, 2129 Main St. The exhibition will continue over the weekend, with viewing from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, May 7 and 8.

Visitors to the show may purchase work on display, which will include paint-ings, sculptures, photography, mixed media and jewelry. Admission is free.

JAG sponsors a wide variety of arts demon-strations and speakers on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. in Julian library. These lively meetings — open to the public and free of charge — are a great place for artists to share ideas and get their work known by the public, and for others to learn about artistic processes.

At the upcoming April 26 meeting, Kiki Munshi will host an action-packed, fun-filled art supplies auction. Anyone may attend and bring art supplies, tools or equip-ment they want to sell. items will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with proceeds going to the seller of the item. This is a cash-and-carry event.

on May 24, Sundee Ziegler will demonstrate her tech-nique for drawing with pen and pencil. Spending her adult life working on cattle ranches gave this self-taught artist a profound understand-ing of nature and wildlife that fuels her artistic endeavors. proficient in oil painting, Ziegler recently developed a talent for drawing with pen

and ink and colored pencil. A member of the Colored pencil Society of America, Ziegler hopes that her work inspires viewers to appreciate and protect the diversity of the natural world.

The JAG website, www.julianartsguild.org, is the place to find detailed information on its members’ works. Bios, images, artist statements, con-tact information and links to professional websites, blogs and gallery representation are easily navigated. Dozens of artists and several galleries are represented on its pages.

Archived on the JAG web-site are monthly newsletters, with useful information about exhibition opportunities, member news and strategies to market artwork.

Working as a professional artist can be isolating. For non-artists, connecting with the art world can be intimidating.

JAG is a local resource that makes it easy for artists and art lovers to enjoy the possibilities that the creative process provides. n

systems with new and improved sprinkler technology,” said County parks District Manager Dave Holt. “installed are high-efficiency control-lers that allow us to remotely track, manage and report water usage. if there is a break in the line, we can see it before it causes any real damage, which is a big win when it comes to resource conservation.”

At the playground, steel poles have been erected to support a much-

needed shade structure. Summertime temperatures have long rendered the play area useless to local tykes, as swings and climbing structures become too hot to touch under the summer sun. removable fabric sails will be kept in storage during the winter months and reinstalled every

spring, remaining through late fall to cool the equipment — and the youth — so they can enjoy playing outdoors year-round.

peeler log fencing at the main entrance and near the bathrooms will enhance the rural nature of the park and direct foot traffic away from native-plant garden areas that were installed last year.

The grants funded $300,000 for each ball field, for a total of $704,700,

including contingency funds. remaining proj-ect funds of $78,300 will be used for related project costs, including design, inspec-tion, construction man-agement and project administration.

The San Diego County Department of parks and recreation has applied for another round of CDBG funding, which, if approved, will upgrade the vegetation and landscape through-out the park and create a new regulation horse-shoe pit. There is no

timeline on this proposal until a grant-ing decision has been made.

A work in progress, improvements already made and those on the draw-ing board for the future of the park will provide a safer and more enjoy-able experience to those who visit to relax and enjoy recreation. n

Good for You Quick-Fix DinnersBusy weeknights call for quick family meals, but

with the right ingredients, fast food can actually be good for you, too.

A meal that includes dairy is right in line with the recently released 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which recommend three servings of dairy foods every day. That’s because dairy foods such as cheese, milk and yogurt provide a unique package of nine essential nutrients: calcium,

potassium, phosphorus, protein, vitamins A, D and B12, riboflavin and niacin.

There are many delicious and creative ways to get your three servings of dairy every day, such as using

plain Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise in your favorite recipes or substituting syrup on pancakes and waffles with flavored yogurt.

The 411 on Mother’s Day FlowersMother’s Day is an annual

holiday that honors motherhood and pro-

vides an opportunity for men, women and children to show their mothers how much they appreciate them.

The tradition of Mother’s Day in the United States dates back more than a century to 1908, when West Virginia native Anna Jarvis held a memorial service to honor her mother, who had passed away three years earlier, and all mothers in Grafton, W.V. Mother’s Day would ultimate-ly become a national holiday in the United States in 1914, thanks in large part to Jarvis’ campaigning.

Mother’s Day is as popular as ever, more than 100 years after the idea for it was conceived.

While traditions have changed since Jarvis first

proposed the holiday, many people feel it’s customary to give mothers gifts on Mother’s Day, when moms tradition-ally take the day off from chores and relax with their families. Flowers make for

popular gifts, and well-wishers who want to give the special women in their lives flowers this year can consider a host of varieties.

CarnationsCarnations are popular

Mother’s Day flowers, perhaps because they are available in a number of colors. That means it’s highly likely sons, daugh-ters, husbands and others can find some carnations in Mom’s favorite color. Ask your florist about what each carna-tion color symbolizes, as each has its own unique meaning. pink carnations, for example, are believed to symbolize a mother’s love.

RosesFew mothers can resist

roses, making them one of the more popular flowers come Mother’s Day. roses are sym-bolic of love and make the perfect floral gift for mothers who like traditional flowers. if you want to spice things up, order a bouquet made up of roses of various colors.

DaffodilsYellow is synonymous

with spring, and daffodils can highlight the season while also providing a cheerful look that’s perfect for Mother’s Day floral bouquets. Daffodils can be given on their own or added to mixed bouquets. They also last quite a while when cared for correctly, giving moms more than just a few days to enjoy their bouquets.

Freesialike daffodils, freesia

are long-lasting, meaning mothers will still be enjoying them long after Mother’s Day has come and gone. The inviting fragrance of freesia makes these flowers popular choices for Mother’s Day gifts. Freesia also come in many colors, offering Mother’s Day gift givers a greater chance of finding flowers their mothers will love. n

OPINION OR

CONSULTATION

By ruth lepper ~ the journal

The majority of the board of trustees of Warner Unified School District

denied a request from the superintendent for additional pay for taking over duties created by the vacancy of the high school’s assistant principal position.

The assistant principal left the district in June 2015. The main duties of the position are dealing with student disciplinary problems.

Supervisor Melissa Brown was requesting hourly rates

be paid to her, not to exceed a stipend of $11,600 through June 30, 2016. Brown told the board she was keeping track of the hours she has spent performing the extra duties and estimated it would be 200 hours for the school year.

A teacher also has taken over some of the assistant principal’s obligations and is receiving $30 an hour. Brown cautioned the board that teachers are under contract to the district and it may be going against the agreement reached with the teachers’ union to pay

additional monies.Trustee Katie ostrander

said she was not opposed to paying a stipend but felt it should be the same amount for any employee who fills in.

“i’m happy to give the stipend to whoever steps in to that position,” ostrander said. “i don’t feel one per-son should be getting more money than another when they are all doing the same job.”

Board president Angela Acosta pointed out this would not be a long-term plan. The position of assistant principal has not been filled. After the motion failed, by a 2-to-3 vote, Acosta said the only alternative now will be to hire

another assistant principal.“We were trying to avoid

having to hire an additional fulltime employee,” Acosta said.

local resident Gene Doxey, a retired teacher from ramona Unified School District and a former WUSD board member, shared several concerns with the board. He pointed out that the $11,600 could be better used for purchasing books and paying for maintenance costs.

“it’s quite a lot of money,” Doxey said. He suggested the superintendent and teach-ers “sit down and talk about issues of discipline.” Discipline issues arise at all levels — elementary, middle and high

school, he added.Doxey also cautioned that

by approving the superinten-dent’s request, there would be a lot of morale issues from the school staff and the community.

parents Chris laidlaw and Melissa Krogh commented on the district’s policy for volunteers and visitors. They complained about the lack of certain verbiage in the policy that makes it unclear for parents to understand what is expected of them before volunteering or visiting the schools.

Krogh also said the dis-trict’s website is “not com-puter-friendly.” She mentioned there are problems with the

Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Available

A number of products the average household purchases are considered hazardous, and many are banned from land-fills due to their hazardous properties.

Such items include paint, household cleaners, automo-tive fluids, and pool and gar-den chemicals, syringes and needles, fluorescent bulbs and

tubes, and treated wood. if these items are not prop-

erly disposed of, they may contaminate groundwater, riv-ers, beaches and the oceans. it’s best to use up such prod-ucts. But if you do need to get rid of unused portions, proper disposal is essential.

on the first and third Saturday of the month, by

appointment, the ramona Disposal Service Transfer Station offers household hazardous waste disposal at 324 Maple St., ramona, allow-ing area residents to properly dispose of these items at no cost. Call 877-713-2784 for an appointment.

board’s bylaws and asked if anyone is proofreading the notices that are being sent to parents and the public.

in other agenda items before the board, Chief Business official Andrea Sissons reported to the trustees about certain issues that were addressed dur-ing the recent visits from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges’ (WASC) accreditation team.

problems with the gymna-sium floor and the roof, which

the WASC team discovered, will be repaired during the summer months, Sissons said.

A report from a parent last month about a diesel gas spill on school grounds may have been leakage from a pipe that could have happened a long time ago, she said. The area around the reported spill has been “dug up” and is in the process of being eliminated.

Merl Johnson, with Water Systems Management, told the board that the issue of arsenic in the district’s water

supply has been placed on hold. Before moving ahead to alleviate the problem, approv-al is needed from the trust-ees. A special board meeting planned for last month was canceled, thus delaying the process.

Another item covered the

announcement that the dis-trict has received an incentive grant for $84,000 from California Department of Education. it will be used for career technical educa-tion to help students discover information on careers that are available.

The next regularly scheduled meeting of the WUSD Board of Trustees is set for 5 p.m. May 10 at the Community Resource Center, located directly across the highway from the school. n

Buffalo Bill’s to Host First Anniversary Celebration

When Michelle Angel became owner of Buffalo Bill’s

restaurant one year ago, she was determined that the establishment would no longer be known only for its burgers. in fact, her catch-phrase is, “We’re not just burgers anymore.”

Today, she says, “We’re open for dinner and doing a lot of good specials, like mashed potatoes, pan-seared salmon, fried chicken and rosemary chicken. We have lots of good menu options coming.” She says her customers are already trying out some of these selections before they go on the menu.

Angel will celebrate the restaurant’s first anniversary under her ownership with a celebration all day May 7.

live music will begin about 11:30 a.m., and there will be breakfast, lunch and dinner specials, and a raffle drawing for a paint-ing done by artist lynette Bredow. one raffle ticket will be given for every $10 in purchases.

“please join us in this celebration,” she says. “We look forward to seeing you there!”

Buffalo Bill’s is located at 2603 B St. Call 760-765-1560. n



The Julian Union High School District School Board held a special

meeting on March 22 to inter-view candidates for a vacancy on the board. Three qualified community members stepped forward for the volunteer posi-tion. After interviewing the candidates and without much debate, the board voted 3 to 1 to appoint Julian resident robert Wolfe.

The position became open when Erik Fleet resigned amid questions of a con-flict of interest. Fleet’s wife, Yvonne Fleet, an employee of the school district, had been promoted to Chief Business officer while Fleet was on the board, although he recused himself during the vote that promoted her. After her hus-band’s resignation, the school board rescinded Ms. Fleet’s promotion and subsequently

re-voted to appoint her as CBo to avoid an appearance of a conflict of interest.

regulations require that

board vacancies be filled with-in 60 days of vacancy by a majority vote of the remaining board members, or be deter-mined by a special election held at the district’s expense. Considering the district’s financial difficulties, the moti-vation to agree on a candidate without resorting to an elec-tion was high.

Before the March 22 meet-ing, the candidates submitted applications outlining their qualifications, interest and understanding of issues facing the JUHSD, as well as chal-lenges generally facing public education. At the meeting, can-didates answered direct ques-tions from the board. Those not being interviewed were

sequestered outside the meet-ing, and each received the same slate of questions.

in addition to asking about their qualifications, issues and vision for the school, the board posed questions on confidentiality, how applicants would understand the needs of parents and students, and how they would collaborate with others and deal with administration.

The candidates answered the questions thoroughly and thoughtfully, presenting slightly different slants from each other and each offering a strong case for appointment.

once all candidates were allowed back into the meeting, board member

board members Dennis Cantor, left, and Katy Moretti chat with new member Robert Wolfe, center, and member Greg schuett, right, after the meeting was adjourned.

Tom Skibinski immediately motioned to appoint robert Wolfe, a veteran, retired busi-nessman and retired assistant superintendent of business services at the San Diego County office of Education.

After the motion was sec-onded, board member Dennis Cantor, acknowledging that Wolfe, arguably, had more experience than anyone in the room, raised the question of whether there would be a conflict of interest, as Wolfe’s spouse is an employee of the district — a concern, especial-ly considering the reason for the vacancy in the first place.

Board president Katy Moretti stated that she didn’t see it as a problem, since Wolfe’s wife is not in a posi-tion to be promoted. Board member Greg Schuett stated a similar concern, consider-ing that Wolfe’s wife may be released from employment in the upcoming layoffs. Moretti again countered, saying that the benefits outweigh the risks, as long as Wolfe steps out of the room for the vote.

The motion immediately went to a vote and carried, with Cantor, Moretti and Skibinski voting in favor of appointing Wolfe, and Schuett voting opposed.

principal/Superintendent David Schlottman swore in Wolfe as the newest member of the JUHSD School Board. n

The Territory . . .Julian and Beyond By Johnny McDonald ~ the journal

Since the days he chased down speeding motorists as a highway patrol officer, Steve logan hasn’t slowed down a bit.

He retired 14 years ago and still puts the pedal to metal with a passion for auto racing, as both a fan and part-time participant.

And at the first of May, he and his wife, roxie, will take off for the nation’s speed capital of indianapolis, when the track celebrates the 100th running of the 500.

“Been working on all the details since January,” the longtime Julian resident said. “That included bronze badge credentials for the month’s pre-race activities and tickets for seats across from the start/finish line on race-day and making arrangements for park-ing the motor home.”

Afternoons will be con-sumed with meetings with old friends at the Brickyard, while the evenings will offer oppor-tunities to see more racing.

“We’ll go to the fairgrounds for the Silver Crown (event), Anderson Speedway for the little 500 and visit Mel Kenyon’s (racecar) shop to

see what they are doin’,” he said.

Even so, indianapolis is familiar territory for logan, because he was born and raised there, and the area is filled with relatives.

“My dad took me out to the track in 1952 or ’53,” he said. “Went back with my brother in the ’90s.”

While in indianapolis, he intends to help a 94-year-old friend see another 500 in style. She’s the former wife of driver Johnnie parsons, who won the 500 in 1950.

“Along with her son, we have discussed with Mari Hulman George (chairman of indianapolis Motor Speedway) to place her in a suite,” he said. “And she may need medi-cal attention.”

When he returns to Julian, he’ll probably find a racetrack and catch up with a few laps in either his midget or sprint car.

The midget belonged to the late Johnny Moorhouse of Julian, and the sprinter was campaigned by Jimmy Wood of Santa Ysabel.

“i won the main event in Tucson last April,” logan said proudly.

A few weeks ago, he drove comparative laps at lake Havasu Speedway on behalf of Moorhouse’s widow, Virginia, who passed away recently.

He’s still president of the United racing Association, comprised of “exhibition” racecar owners who share the same enthusiasm as logan.

He began his highway patrolling days in the heart of los Angeles and transferred to El Cajon in 1980.

“i hated the freeways and preferred the two-lane high-ways like Spring Valley and Campo,” he said, although he did patrol from pine Valley to the imperial County line.

“Then i became a resident officer from Julian,” he said. “i could work from my home.

“i’m primarily an open-wheel racecar fan, probably because i’m from indiana where those cars were raced,” he said.

“My acquaintances have always been people in rac-ing. i can give you a list you wouldn’t believe.”

later, he called to invite me to go to lunch — with some old racecar drivers, naturally. n

Rains Boost Blooms for Wildflower ShowWith increased rainfall

this winter, Julian Woman’s Club is

anticipating a bountiful crop of wildflowers for the organi-zation’s Wildflower Show, May 4 to 7. The club has sponsored the show for close to 90 years.

There are more than 857 types of plant life in the greater Julian area, most of which are wildflowers. They are found in Julian, Wynola,

Santa Ysabel, lake Henshaw, Mesa Grande, laguna Mountain, Cuyamaca, Borrego Springs, Banner Grade, Volcan Mountain and pine Hills.

Club members fan out and pick flowers, usually collect-ing several hundred varieties.

This year’s theme will be “Smarty plants.” research suggests that plants may be smarter than originally thought and may have ways of

problem-solving and communicating.

“They don’t have brains, eyes or ears, yet they sense sound vibrations, light, touch, odors and more,” said Wildflower Show chair Melana Brandt. “They use the information they take in to communicate with themselves and other plants, to solve problems, meet their physical needs and survive. Sometimes they survive too well, as in the

case of weeds.” A fifth-grade class at Julian

Elementary School is studying plants, and their work will be on display, with other classes also invited to participate.

information and displays that demonstrate the unique capabilities of plants will be featured at the show, and a local expert will be on hand to answer questions. Also available will be maps for a wildflower walking tour of

downtown Julian. The show will be open

from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Julian Town Hall, 2129 Main St. Call 760-758-0158. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. Funds raised help support other local organizations and provide scholarships.

The public is invited to enjoy the displays of wild-flowers and learn about how amazing plant life can be. n

Firefighters Hired Ahead of Fire Season

Cal Fire is increasing its staffing levels for fire season while focusing

the efforts of its crews on preventing large and damag-ing wildfires, according to Cal Fire Captain issac Sanchez.

recent rains have been a welcome sight to drought-parched California, he said, but Cal Fire firefighters are not letting their guard down as they train for another potentially busy fire season and work to prevent wildfires. There have been 240 fires since Jan. 1.

Across the state, Cal Fire has hired more than 400 additional seasonal firefight-ers, whose focus includes fire prevention, fuel reduction and

defensible space programs. “While the winter rain has

helped decrease the fire risk in some areas, it has not been enough to end the drought,” said Chief Ken pimlott, direc-tor of Cal Fire. “The rain is welcome, but it will not revive the millions of trees that have already died due to drought and bark beetle. our firefighters are taking advantage of the weather and ensuring that we are doing everything we can to prevent the types of wildfires we experienced last year.”

While the additional firefighters are available to respond to wildfires, they will focus their efforts on fire prevention. projects

include removing dead trees, creating and maintaining firebreaks, removing dense brush, performing prescribed burning, and assisting home-owners with education on defensible space.

At the same time, it is critical that residents do their part to prepare for wildfires by maintaining 100 feet of defensible space around their homes and property. This includes removing weeds and other dead or dying vegeta-tion, removing tree branches, and cleaning off leaves and debris from roofs and gutters.
