JUHSD Budget Cuts Take a Human Toll
By ann reilly cole ~ the journal
Tensions were high and the mood somber at a regu-larly scheduled meeting of the Julian Union high School District held march 10 at Julian Union high School. Impassioned public comments came forth about the drastic cuts that have been put into motion since the school board approved the reduction or elimination of teaching staff and the elimination of up to 15 classes from the master schedule (mS).
The difficulties facing the district have forced hard choices that are now being felt on a personal level by students, parents, teachers, administration and staff, who are distressed by how these changes will affect their per-sonal lives and the culture at school, as well as impacting the broader community. Some spoke eloquently about what could happen as beloved pro-
grams are cut. others pleaded for inclusion in the process or to be informed whether or not they should be look-ing for new jobs. Some simply expressed broken-heartedness.
Faced with budget defi-cits of $904,223 over the next two years that must be resolved to avoid bank-ruptcy and state takeover of the local school district, the school board voted to autho-rize Superintendent/Principal David Schlottman to begin the process to lay off a full-time equivalent (FTE) of 2.84 teachers at a special meeting of the school board on Feb. 23. In addition, Schlottman was authorized to design a workable mS that would still provide students with courses they need to graduate as well as prepare them to transition to working life or accep-tance into the University of california system.

The Julian Daffodil Show was held earlier this month, and stormy
weather didn’t dampen partic-ipants’ efforts to light up Town hall with the sunny flower.
about 500 blossoms were entered, according to Sally Snipes, one of the show’s organizers.
“Because of the two storms that occurred right before the show, the count was down somewhat,” she said.

Jim Baker Selected as 4th of July Parade Grand
MarshalJim Baker, a longtime
resident of Pine hills, was selected by the Julian Fourth of July Parade committee to serve as this year’s grand marshal. his wife, Janet, will ride along with him.
Baker is known as the go-to guy when anybody living in or near Pine hills needs sup-port or help. his history of assistance is known far and wide, as he has jump-started motorists, cleaned up nearby property following the 2003 cedar fire, and pulled people and their cars out of the snow. he also saved monte Green’s cattle when more than a foot of snow made it impossible for the animals to graze. he loaded his truck with bales of hay and took them to the ani-mals so they got enough to eat during the storm.
Like many marine veterans, michigan-born Baker enjoyed San Diego and made his home here in 1956. he worked for General Dynamics and served as a fire fighter at Lindbergh Field and fire chief for the city of Del mar. The family purchased property in Pine hills in 1984.
Baker has served on the Julian cuyamaca Fire Board and the Pine hills Water Board. he’s always on the lookout for neighbors who need help.
“my real hobby is helping people,” he said. “I appreciate it when people call me for help. I do it for the pure joy it gives me.”
The Julian Fourth of July Parade, now in its 22nd year, will offer pre-parade entertain-ment at 10 a.m. on main Street, followed by a vintage aircraft flyover. The parade steps off at noon and lasts for an hour. But with its patriotic decorations and deep-pit barbecue party at the american Legion, the town celebrates the Fourth all day long.

WUSD Board MeetingWarner Students Share College Tour Experiences
By ruth Lepper ~ the journal
The march 8 board meeting of Warner Unified School District
included a report from high
school students sharing their experiences from a recent college tour.
a group of students par-ticipate in the tour every other year, visiting universities,

colleges and junior colleges around the state. Ten students representing Future Farmers of america attended the board meeting, each one highlight-ing what they learned from the trip.
Several students mentioned cal Poly, San Louis obispo; University of california, Davis; and University of california, Santa Barbara as their favorite places to tour.
They visited the state FFa headquarters, an ag-expo in Tulare and a cheese factory.
The board also heard reports about the district’s technology support, calPac charter School, Indian advisory committee, Parent-Teacher community club and community resource center.
a report by mary ann Donahue, principal of all Tribes charter School, ended in an emotional outburst when she was told a spe-cial report requested by Superintendent melissa Brown would not be considered by the board until a special meeting scheduled for the following week.
accusing the superinten-dent of “micro-managing,” Donahue said, “It’s either her way or no way. I cannot jump through any more hoops. She’s demanding things of us
that are not legally required.”Sharilyn Potter, president of
the all Tribes charter School’s governing board, backed up Donahue’s complaints, saying the demands are being made solely by the superintendent and bypassing the district’s governing board.
Katie ostrander, vice president of the WUSD board who was presiding over the meeting, assured Donahue and Potter that Superintendent Brown was the board’s liaison for the all Tribes charter School and its governing board.
“We can’t all speak because we would be violating the Brown act,” ostrander said. The Brown act is a california State Legislature act that over-sees elected governing boards.
communication issues were worked out between the district and the charter school. Brown apologized to Donahue for not getting back to her in regard to the meet-ing, telling the principal, “We do want to work with you.”
Terry cox, director of Warner community resource center, reported on plans being made for the expecta-tion of Pacific crest Trail hik-ers coming to Warner Springs in the next few weeks. a camping site will be set up
behind the resource center. Vendors will be setting up booths, and meals will be available for the hikers.
Parent chris Laidlaw informed the board of a die-sel leak she discovered on campus. She reported it to the school at the time she noticed, it and the leak has since been repaired, with inspectors due out this month to check on it.
“The gas pump is leak-ing,” Laidlaw said. “how come nobody noticed it? You could smell it. how are you going to handle this and how can we make sure we’re not making this worse?”
She suggested the diesel leak may be connected in some way to arsenic having been discovered earlier this year in one of the district’s wells.
In the business section of the meeting’s agenda, the board unanimously approved several resolutions, a short-term position for an assistant cook, adding the business manager’s name to specific accounts, and the acceptance of initial proposals from the school district to the association of Warner Educators. n
at the Feb. 23 meeting, Schlottman presented the board with an exhibit that outlined 14 courses that could be eliminated from the mS to reduce FTEs by 2.64.
Just hours before that meet-ing, however, he was notified of an additional $171,878 hit to the budget, which meant the 2.64 FTE reduction would no longer be sufficient to bal-ance the budget. another class was then added to the list of classes to be cut, increasing the FTE to 2.84 and bringing the total to 15 classes to be dropped from the mS.
Preliminary notices of lay-off/reduction were delivered
to teachers on march 9, and a list was presented to the board at the march 10 meet-ing. Since due process entitles those who have been noticed of layoff to a legal hearing
that could result in their layoff being overturned, the district issued five layoff notices, which is in excess of what is needed to balance the budget. The board has only autho-rized a reduction of 2.84 FTEs, so any cuts above the 2.84 threshold will be rescinded once a hearing determines the validity of the layoffs. This ensures that if any layoffs are overturned, there will be enough available layoffs to
meet budget-cutting require-ments. additionally, if there is any attrition due to retirement or other reasons between now and when the school board makes its final decision
on who is to be laid off, layoff notices in excess of the 2.84 FTEs will be rescinded.
hearings to determine whether there is cause for not re-employing staff members will be held sometime this month or next. The school board will make its final decision on layoffs by the middle of may.
The next meeting of the school board is scheduled for april 21 at 6 p.m. n

Escrow Company Celebrates 25 Years Facilitating the American Dream

Life, liberty and the pursuit of homeownership are a few things most americans dream about. at Eagle Peak Escrow, Inc., owner
Katy moretti, along with her qualified staff, feel fortunate to have helped facilitate that dream come true for the past 25 years.
“I like what I do,” moretti said. “Every day I come to work, and even after 33 years, I’m not tired of it.”
She describes the niche company as a neutral, third-party organization that works with both title companies and lenders to handle the necessary documents to transfer property from one owner to the next. Eagle Peak has facilitated thousands of transactions in
its 25 years. “We’re one of the
only independent escrow companies serving ramona, Julian and the backcountry,” she said, reiterating that they are not affiliated with any one realtor or real estate broker.
First introduced to the industry by her uncle, moretti started as a receptionist, and a few years later opened Eagle Peak.
She says she has deep local roots — her family has lived in Santa Ysabel for more than 100 years.
her grandpar-ents emigrated from Switzerland, where they owned and operated a dairy and cattle ranch. In the 1920s, her
family owned local ranches, including rancho San Vicente, which is now the site of San Diego country Estates.
“my father was born in mesa Grande in 1924,” she said, adding that he lived in the area for 90 years before passing in 2014.
Taking a personal interest in each escrow, moretti credits her staff and fellow escrow officers carrie Streeter, cassie martinez and cassandra muniz for the work they do.
“We may be paper-pushers, but we get our work done and have a good time at the office. I consider myself lucky that I enjoy what I do.”
She says some of the most significant industry changes occur when the market fluctuates.
“When the bubble burst, investors were purchasing homes to flip. Nowadays, more families are purchasing homes. It’s coming back to the american dream.”
moretti says she and her staff have a combined 75 years of experience and that most of their clients are repeat business. Eagle Peak also networks with local realtors and agencies, and they are proud to have established a solid reputation as an industry leader.
“We can deal with specific issues, such as easements, wells and other things not typically related to a city purchase.”
While the average escrow period is between 30 and 45 days, some move quicker and others slower, depending on the purchase agreement.
“Every escrow is unique,” she says. “although we rarely see a property in person, we know our work behind the scenes is important, and is helping facilitate someone’s pursuit of the american dream.” n

many who look forward to the annual handel’s messiah concert in
Julian know it is a musical treat. The recently established Julian arts chorale, under the artistic direction of Garnette Welch and made up of some of the singers who perform in the messiah, has just upped the cultural ante in Julian with the creation of a year-round choral program.
The group is slated to hold its first concert on Sunday, april 24, at 4 p.m., in Julian Town hall, with a program that will feature a variety of pre-1900 american folk music.
The community chorus plans to present multiple con-certs a year covering a range of musical styles, from classi-cal and baroque to madrigal and modern popular music. In contrast to handel’s high-brow score, the chorale’s initial concert will be light and entertaining, with perfor-mances by local singers, fiddlers and other musicians, and a cowboy poet.
Welch, a retired music and art teacher, led a community choir in Julian 30 years ago. She selected some of the folk
songs from her reper-toire and researched collections of civil War and post-civil War books for others. Famous american composers,
including aaron copeland and Samuel Barber, are known for using such basic melodic forms in their work, docu-menting the popularity of this traditional music.
The choir’s harmonious voices and the historical nature of the music will trans-port listeners to an era when the country was largely a rural society and towns like Julian were the norm rather than the exception. a comparison of life across the generations and through the lens of music and lyrics can be drawn with songs like the uplifting and energetic spiritual “Every Time I Feel the Spirit,” the nonsen-sical “I Bought me a cat,” or moving civil War ballads.
The choral group meets for an hour and a half on monday evenings at Julian community United methodist church and welcomes new members who would like to join their voices in song, whatever their ability or experience.
Different than singing
along with the radio, choral singing requires using one’s ears as much as one’s voice. While it can be a challenge to learn the songs, relying on a neighbor to find one’s part in a four-part harmony and even-tually becoming comfortable with the process can yield great satisfaction.
choir member Eric Jones enjoys the creative process and growth that comes from achieving excellence by rehearsing as a group under Welch’s direction.
“Garnette is in tune with what each singer needs, involving them at the level where they are, musically and otherwise,” said Jones.
once the singers grasp their parts and the technical aspects of singing, their focus can move out from the sheet music in their hands to blend with the other voices. at this point the director is able to introduce artistic details, such as subtleties of pronunciation, tone and volume, to create a balanced and cohesive sound, with each voice supporting the others.
The Julian arts chorale is part of the nonprofit Julian arts Guild, an organization that has historically sup-ported the performing arts and the visual arts. as with the messiah, there is no cost to attend the concert, but dona-tions are accepted to cover the expense of producing the show.
Updates are available on the Julian Arts Chorale Facebook page. n

awards were earned by 28 adults and 14 youth. Snipes said that ribbons that have not been claimed may be picked up in the chamber of commerce office, and that gift certificates have been mailed to the winners.
Snipes reminded resi-dents not to cut back daffodil foliage until the end of June. “The leaves feed the bulbs, and if they are cut too early, the bulb will die.”
She suggested that feeding the
bulbs will encourage them to come back year after year.

Hoskings Ranch Subdivision Progresses as Planning Commission Gives Approval
By ann reilly cole ~ the journal
The hoskings ranch Proj-ect that had been stalled for more than a decade
got the go-ahead from the San Diego county Planning commission last month, dashing the hopes of Julian residents who tried to derail
the proposed subdivision. The plan involves reserv-
ing 85 percent of a 1,400-acre parcel as an agricultural preserve and dividing the balance of the land into 24 lots ranging in size from 40 to 161 acres each, while main-taining the Williamson act contract, which offers signifi-
cant property tax reductions in exchange for preserving agricultural or open space.
Several Julian residents attended a meeting at the county operations center in San Diego to voice their concerns about the proposed development. For more than an hour, the Planning commission heard testimony from both sides of the issue.
The Planning and Development Services staff presented a detailed history of the project, which was initial-ly rejected by county officials in 2003, due to the Williamson act and environmental con-cerns. It was followed by an explanation of how the project has been amended to address these concerns, and included testimony by expert witnesses on the mitigation of environmental issues now part of the project.
on the other side, residents presented statements about the impact this project would have on their quality of life. a longtime resident of hoskings ranch, who only learned of the project a month ago, made a case that the new develop-ment would use a private road system within hoskings ranch
to access the new develop-ment without ever having had a discussion with or agree-ment from the stakeholders of the project’s county-approved road system.
after the Planning and Development Services staff presentations and public comments, the Planning commission posed detailed questions to the county staff and the expert consultants.
Planning commissioner michael Beck raised concerns about golden eagle habitat and foraging areas, which was covered in the presentation, as well as concerns about moun-tain lions that are known to exist in the area.
he pointed out that the subdivision has the opportu-nity to be a test case for moni-toring golden eagle popula-tions by joining efforts with organizations that are current-ly studying the birds through-out the state, and specifically in Southern california. he requested that the developer plan to actively participate in the state-of-the-art monitoring system of the eagles.
With regard to the moun-tain lions, Beck noted that when residences border the
animal’s habitat, pets and live-stock that live outside become easy prey, and deprivation per-mits to shoot the mountain lions increase. he asked that strong language be included in the communications with property owners to mitigate the need for deprivation per-mits. he agreed to work with county staff to draft appropri-ate language to that end, and the developer’s representative agreed to accommodate the request for golden eagle monitoring and to include mountain lion advisories in its program.
a motion was made to approve the proposal, including the two caveats raised by Beck. Before it was unanimously approved, the Planning commission admon-ished county staff regarding the inconsistent notification process of properties that neighbor the proposal site, suggesting that in rural areas, homes that are more than 400 feet away also need to be notified.
The next step is for the proposed project to be pre-sented to the county Board of Supervisors for approval or rejection. n

Marijuana Dispensaries Put on 45-Day Hold
The San Diego county Board of Supervisors decided march 16 to approve a 45-day ban on medical
marijuana dispensaries in unincorpo-rated areas, after hearing statements from dozens of backcountry residents. a wide majority of those present spoke in favor of a ban and are residents of Julian and ramona.
Supervisor Dianne Jacob, who represents San Diego county’s District 2, which includes Julian, made some remarks about the issue in advance of the vote.
She noted that the march 16 action was in response to her request at a Feb. 5 board meeting for staff to bring options for regulating medical marijuana back to the board.
“Under federal law, marijuana is illegal,” she said. “Under california law, medical marijuana is legal. In 2006, the county of San Diego filed a lawsuit in federal court with the goal of resolv-ing the conflict between state and federal law as it pertains to medical marijuana. Unfortunately, the Supreme court did not hear the case, and the same inconsistencies exist today.
“The Board of Supervisors approved our existing ordinances regarding medical marijuana dispen-saries in 2010, under the advice from counsel that a ban would be illegal.
The board was advised that the zoning and regulatory ordinances that were adopted were as restrictive as possible by law, and critiqued by opponents as a ‘de facto ban’ on dispensaries in the unincorporated area of the county.
Jacob said that there are two legally permitted dispensaries located in the unincorporated area of the county, but noted the board has seen an increase in applications. The california Supreme court recently ruled that local jurisdictions have the authority to ban dispensaries, she said.
“There are serious issues that arise from medical marijuana dispensaries, especially those located in remote areas of our region,” she said, address-ing air quality, traffic and public safety concerns associated with dispensaries. “The requirement of a major use permit would provide the public a forum to be made aware of these facilities, and allow for a process to share concerns and comments prior to any approval of a medical marijuana dispensary.
“I also share the concerns of many that there is rampant fraud in the current medical marijuana process as allowed by the state.”
The supervisors’ vote was unanimous, 4-0, with one member absent. n

North Coast Rep Presents U.S. Premiere
Definitely a feather in the cap for North coast repertory Theatre is its current production, the United States premiere of “Now You See It.”
Director Bruce Turk has assembled an excellent cast to portray the Edwardian characters. all are superb in their performances, never missing a beat and always staying on top of the action.
Kern mcFadden smartly portrays Summersby, and allison minick comes across well as his wife, marie-Louise. David mcBean is aboveboard as the infatuated lover, Shaftisbury-Phipps. ruff Yeager is the raging irate
husband, Vole, a wine merchant. John Greenleaf is hilarious as oriole, a gentleman’s gentleman.
The French farce was written by Georges Feydeau, with translation by Kenneth mcLeish and sugges-tions from George Bernard Shaw. Set in 1910, the story takes place in the Summersby home in London.
It’s a second marriage for marie-Louise, and she assumes all husbands are unfaithful. Proving it is another thing. Summersby uses his skill at hyp-notism to pull off his discrepancies.

Action-packed Mystery Fills Vista Stage
Take a memory trip back to the heyday of radio, when everyone gath-ered around to listen to the greatest mysteries ever told. any action had to be a figment of one’s imagination because, after all, it was radio. No TV in those days.
among the top shows and films of that era was a mystery about a British gentleman adventurer with the odd
moniker of Bulldog Drummond. Jump ahead to the current season at Vista’s Broadway Theater and meet “Bullshot crummond,” a tongue-in-cheek mystery based on the famed characters of the 1930s.
The talented actors, under the direction of robin LaValley, bring the action to life on the intimate Broadway stage. The fast-paced story

Cruise Nights Return to Ramona Main Street
By Jack riordan ~ the journal
Thursday nights in ramona are about to get a lot cooler, as the wildly
popular ramona american Graffiti cruise nights resume on the evening of april 7 and each Thursday thereafter,
into September.
The event is modeled after a decades-old and time-honored tradition of a parade-style procession of motorists quite literally “cruising” a strip
of roadway to showcase their vehicles to other drivers as well as onlookers.
Though the cruise nights just started last year, the event has grown in popularity with both spectators and drivers, as some of the most impressive hot-rods and muscle cars from all parts of San Diego showed up to please the growing crowds.
The cruise is not limited to those types of vehicles, however — if you have pride in your unique mode of transportation, you are welcome to take part. Last year’s cruises saw military and large commercial vehicles, tractors and more.
Drivers who want to participate meet up at ron’s Tire & Brake at Etcheverry and main streets. Their route then runs east on main Street up to Sixth Street, where they typically turn, go down a block, then return to main Street to make their way back toward Denny’s, where they loop around and do it all over again.
owners of nine classic cars — and co-founders of the ramona american Graffiti cruise — are 11-year ramona residents Jerry and
Kristy Keller. Jerry has been drag racing
hot-rods for more than 60 years, and Kristy did the same for a decade. But these days, they are happy to set the pace for an event that sees top speeds somewhere around 20 or 30 miles per hour.
What amazes them both is how fast the cruise night has grown in such a short amount of time.
“We thought we’d get 40 or 50 cars and cruise,” said Jerry. “But all of a sudden, we’ve got all these people sitting along the curb, hollerin’ and whistling and enjoying all the old cars.”
Some Thursdays last year saw as many as 200 cars participating, with spectators lining up chairs, laying out blankets, and even setting up rVs, canopies, tables and
full-course meals. as long as there is no rain
in the forecast, the april 7 kickoff event will begin at 6 p.m., and the drivers will cruise for about an hour, or until the sun goes down. as the days get longer through-out the spring and summer, the event tends to run a bit later, but they try to wrap it up at sunset to keep it safe for the spectators.
If your Thursday eve-nings mean driving through ramona, you may want to give yourself a few extra minutes to deal with the increased traf-fic, and be sure to keep an eye out for additional pedestrians, as well. crowd safety is the number-one priority.
If you are looking for a fun-filled Thursday evening that the whole family can enjoy, grab a blanket or some chairs,
bring food and drinks, and take a break while some of San Diego’s hot-test hot-rods and coolest convertibles cruise by.

EPA Dispels SEMA Alarm
By Johnny McDonald
Behind the Wheel
The Special Equipment market association posted an alarming
press release that EPa regula-tions would criminalize any modifications to street cars that affect emissions, even for the express purpose of racing.
But the EPa says, hold the phone.
The primary intent is not, as SEma’s headline suggests, to ban race cars, but to put out of business any company that
makes parts that defeat emissions controls for race cars.
In a statement, the EPa said, “People may use EPa-certified motor vehicles for competi-tion, but to protect public health from air pollution, the clean air act has — since its inception — specifically prohibited tampering with or defeating the emission control systems on those vehicles.
“The proposed regulation
that SEma has commented on does not change this long-standing law, or approach. Instead, the proposed lan-guage in the heavy-Duty Greenhouse Gas rulemaking simply clarifies the distinction between motor vehicles and non-road vehicles, such as dirt bikes and snowmobiles.
“This clarification does not affect EPa’s enforcement authority. It is still illegal to tamper with or defeat the emission control systems of motor vehicles. In the course of selecting cases for enforce-ment, the EPa has and will continue to consider whether the tampered vehicle is used exclusively for competition.
“The EPa remains primarily concerned with cases where the tampered vehicle is used
on public roads, and more specifically with after- market manufacturers who sell devices that defeat emission control systems on vehicles used on public roads.”
