Bikers Pedal Their Hearts Out

Founder’s Day Celebration

25 Years of Accomplishment to Last Many Lifetimes

By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

They came and went over an October weekend, but it took a year of planning to transform Jess Martin Park from a quiet roadside playground into self-contained tent city for hundreds of cyclists riding to raise awareness and money to create a world without cancer through Pedal the Cause.

Each rode for personal reasons: in memory of someone loved and lost; in honor, or in spite of, their own cancer diagnosis; and some with a mission to support San Diego’s cancer research facilities. All rode because of an abiding hope that a collaborating community can eradicate this disease that touches everyone in some way.

Pedal the Cause was founded in St. Louis in 2009,

ounders and friends of Volcan Mountain Foundation (VMF) came out in numbers last month to enjoy the inaugural Founder’s Day celebration, a day of music and memories. The gathering marked 25 years of preserving the landmark mountain’s unique habitat, the wildlife that inhabits it, and the rich cultural history that it represents.

The event kicked off with a morning hike up the mountain, led by docent Sally Snipes, followed by festivities in the afternoon at Menghini Winery, where longtime residents and VMF founders shared how the idea to preserve the mountain was born and how it has evolved through the years.

In 1987, when a few concerned Julian residents learned that a private developer planned to build roads and houses on 220 acres of privately owned land on the mountain, they jumped into action to see what could be done. Through a grassroots organization, dogged determination and crucial partnerships with agencies that had resources to purchase land, the motley crew was successful in finding a win-win solution to protect the

National Cancer Institutedesignated cancer centers: UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies.

Partnerships among these organizations help fast-track research from the bench top to the bedside, which means faster access to lifesaving treatment and cures.

Riders arrived in Julian on Saturday by way of a 50-mile or 90-mile course, beginning at UCSD, traveling through Poway and Ramona to Santa Ysabel, where they then chose between biking to S2 down to the desert and up Banner Grade, or biking up through Wynola to reach Julian.

mountain and the landowner’s financial interests.

Since then, this small band of citizens joined with others to form the foundation and successfully acquire land at fair market value from willing sellers to preserve the mountain habitat. In addition to acquiring land, VMF is committed to preservation, stewardship, education and public outreach to keep the mountain wild for future generations.

“I’m proud to be part of the miracle that started with 220 acres and now is 18,000 acres preserved for the public and future grandchildren,” said Snipes.

As part of their commitment to education and preservation, VMF Education Coordinator Kathleen Beck presented a workshop on making native See 25 Years of Accomplishments continued on page 5

ozens of Julian residents recently answered a casting call for extras to perform in an indie feature film “Carving A Life,” produced and directed

by Pine Hills resident Terry Ross. Scenes will be shot in familiar Julian locations.

The film is a drama and love story about a woodcarving artist’s struggle to confront a haunting childhood memory and recover from an addiction that threatens to destroy his future and everything he has worked for and loves.

The idea for the project was born when Lisa Bruhn approached Ross with a short screenplay she wrote for her actor son, Tyler Bruhn. Ross saw the potential for the story to be a feature-length film instead. The two knew that even if they could get a major motion picture studio behind their project, they would likely have to give up creative control. So they created Life in Reels Productions and jumped into production of

than 160 short films, showcasing the work of students she trains through classes at her San Diego-based business, Acting Professionally. Her extensive experience performing on stage, television and in films, as well as her involvement as acting coach for the ABC series “Push” and casting director for the independent film “Pushing Thirty” rounds out the talents, skills and expertise she brings to this tremendous undertaking.

With her connections, Ross was able to easily put

together a strong cast and crew. The first real hurdle was raising the money to produce the film. The team went to Kickstarter, an online crowd-funding platform where creative people solicit arts patrons for donations small and large in exchange for some nifty incentives, such

Bruhn’s compelling story.

Ross, who is stepping into the role of producer and director of a feature film for the first time, is no newcomer to the world of filmmaking or the business of acting and directing. This venture is a logical leap forward from her experience making more

as signed movie posters, T-shirts and even a role in the movie. They raised more than $48,000 in just 30 days.

The next challenge is to work within the Screen Actors Guild ultra-lowbudget contract (less than $200,000), which sets rules and regulations for working conditions and requires, among other things, that filming of the movie be completed within 20 days.

That is a very short time to coordinate actors and crews, secure locations, and feed and transport people and equipment, among a myriad of details and logistics. On the upside, the SAG contract gives the company credibility in distribution and enables them to hire Guild actors, including Navid Negahban of the Emmy Award-winning series “Homeland.”

“It’s creative problemsolving, that’s what making a movie is,” said Ross, who is anxious to get past the pre-production phase and be on set.

The casting call was an upbeat experience, as residents, many familiar to the local theater scene, came by to fill out the necessary paperwork, hoping for a chance to be in a movie. With some scenes to be shot at Don Madison’s wood mill on Volcan Mountain, Spencer Valley School and Julian Union High School, Ross’ project is a feather in the cap for the town.

“I’m excited to bring the beauty of the region to the screen, and it means a lot to me to involve the community,” said Ross.

The film is scheduled for release in the spring of next year.

“If someone from outside the community picks up our paper, we ask, ‘What will they think about our community from this paper? Does this look like a place where you would like to live?’” said Darrel.

professionals from around the nation who judge the awards validates their commitment to professionalism.

Office administrator and writer Annette Williams, whose editing skills make each issue shine, enjoys working with writers.

“I love working with writers who find and create interesting stories with their words,” said Williams.

It all comes down to the stories and the people and places behind them. A storyteller by nature, and top award winner for the Journal, Tracy Rolling enjoys the people she meets and the challenges that writing about

them presents.

“It is my privilege to write for the Ramona Home Journal and their family of publications,” said Rolling. “Not only am I impressed with the quality and commitment that goes into each issue, but also I have a deep respect for the caliber of people that live, work, and play in Ramona. To be able to cover their stories, and have the San Diego Press Club recognize it, is truly a blessing.”

“It seems everybody has a story to tell,” said Darrel Kinney. “It is an honor to take these stories and be able to share them with the communities that we love.” n

Julian Journal have collected awards that acknowledge the standards to which they strive with their three monthly and two semi-annual publications.

Painstaking attention to detail, people who work together as a team, and strong relationships in the community are a few of the ingredients necessary to create publications they aspire to be worthy of the communities they serve.

This year, their publications have been honored with five first-place, four second-place and five third-place awards for excellence in journalism from the SDPC. The publishing landscape has changed since the SDPC established itself in 1973.

Carol Kinney’s background in the newspaper business, and the philosophy that good journalism creates readership and brings advertising opportunities, made the papers viable in the community. Later, the Julian Journal was added to the publication list, as well as The Guide to Ramona and The Guide to Julian, and the Ramona Journal.

The Journal has always worked side by side with people and organizations to be a positive news source.

town leaders and local merchants.

Held at Pioneer Museum Park and beginning at 1 p.m., the all-day event will feature live performances from the music and theater communities.

“It’s a wonderful smalltown, old-fashioned Christmas tree lighting,” says volunteer organizer Ed Glass. “It’s an all-volunteer event and it gets better every year!”

Santa Claus will make a special appearance, and Christmas carolers will stroll though the park, proclaiming the reasons for the season.

Among the entertainers scheduled to appear are Jake’s Mountain, Joe Rathburn, Roger Taylor and Rick Kaylor, Josh and Alicia Rasmussen, Cierra Rayne, Ramona/Julian Academy of Dance, Victorian Carolers and the Ramona High School Jazz Combo.

At 5:30 p.m., the tree will be illuminated by Merchant of the Year Liz Smothers of the Julian Pie Company.

Local boutique shops go all out by decorating their storefronts in an old-fashioned Victorian style.

While the town is reminiscent of one you’d find in a snow globe, shopkeepers offer personal attention in helping find that unique, one-of-akind Christmas gift.

Lodging establishments and eateries also welcome holiday visitors with hot cocoa, spiced cider and a variety of specialty dishes and desserts.

Because of the cool mountain air, visitors are encouraged to dress warmly.

Though no one can predict if it will be a white Christmas in Julian, it’s bound to be a bright country Christmas.

Room for One More Beer

A

t last count there were 71 craft breweries in San Diego County, but there apparently is room for more in this fast-growing industry.

That’s why Tom Nickel intends to open his Nickel Beer Co. in Julian with accommodating tasting rooms.

Nickel said this is a brewery operation, not a pub.

Already, he owns O’Brien’s pub in Kearny Mesa and is a partner with West Coast Barbecue & Brew in La Mesa.

Nickel said 95 percent of the hops used in San Diego are grown in Yakima Valley.

“The popularity of craft beer in general was a niche part of the market but not necessarily a huge share, maybe 10 percent of total beer sales,” Nickel said.

“Today it has become a

million-dollar business, but far less than the billion dollars wineries produce.”

National figures show sales are up 15 percent, and nearly 1 million more barrels than last year were sold by small and independent craft brewers, from 6.4 million to 7.3 million barrels, the report says. The number for 2009 was 4.4 million.

“That’s a kind of national trend, and in the county we have some respectable beers,” he appraised. “I’d say we’re beer’s Napa Valley.”

He indicated that when the local beer companies began operating 10 to 15 years ago, they were in warehouses, selling wholesale.

Now they operate from much smaller buildings and focus on tasting rooms.

“Go to one of them and you can buy four- or five-dollar pints and pay $14 or $15 for a gallon,” he added. “They can

easily sell a keg at $400.”

Craft beer is typically more expensive than the beer of major distributors.

“We may mimic the wine industry, but we’re not a million-dollar investment,” he said. “These beer companies are just bit players in total dollars and clout.”

He pointed out that when Karl Strauss opened in 1989, they had a little restaurant, but it never occurred to them that someone would come out and drink their beer at the brewery. This year they have remodeled to offer tasting rooms.

Nickel said his building will soon be complete, and later the tasting room will be opened, giving time for the beers to ferment.

“We’ll sell 32-ounce and 64-ounce jugs for people who might be camping, which will be a big portion of our business,” he concluded. n

Yarn-Lover’s Paradise

By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

D

on’t resist the temptation to touch the merchandise when you enter Kat’s Yarn & Craft Cottage in the Wynola Farms Marketplace in Julian, where you’ll find a mouthwatering selection of yarns and all the tools and notions you’ll need to take a fiber arts project from

communities in need.

In addition to needles and hooks, books and patterns, Dupre says she is excited to supply two types of specialty buttons. Clay buttons by Sharilyn Miller are so unique that no two are alike, and colorful iridescent dichotic glass buttons by Paul Fernandes and Debbie Solan of

available for purchase separately.

If you’re new to knitting or crocheting, Dupre offers free beginner instruction to get you started before you go out the door. Classes for intermediate and advanced kits will be available for those interested in taking their skills to the next level.

Dupre, inspired by her aunt’s yarn store on the East Coast where she grew up, has long dreamed of owning her own yarn shop. Now that she has launched her business, she is eager to create more than a place to pick up needed supplies for creativity, but a gathering place where friends and businesses can collaborate to create a strong community.

“Learning a skill, to make something by hand, is an empowering experience,” says Dupre. “It builds self-esteem.”

The first Friday of every month, look for a Sip, Sit and Knit group that coincides with nearby Orfila Vineyards and Winery’s “First Friday Friend-zy,” a mix-and-mingle event from 5 to 8:30 p.m., with wine glass and bottle specials.

Bring your knitting or crochet project in progress or pick up a new project at the shop to get started while enjoying

Hand-painted and novelty yarns in luscious colors.

Borrego Days Parade a Hit!

A

highlight of the annual Borrego Days Desert Festival last month was the big parade, with a flyover providing an amazing start, says Linda Haddock, Executive Director of the Borrego Springs Chamber of Commerce & Visitors’ Bureau.

Haddock says paradegoers loved the float resembling a suite, fixed up by La Casa Del Zorro desert resort.

“They just put so much into it.” Mini-cars decked out for

Halloween were also popular parade entries.

Music at the festival was outstanding this year, and the children’s carnival was a huge success.

“We had three extra inflatables, including a 27-foot ‘Cliffhanger’ with two slides,” she says, adding, “This is like Disneyland for desert kids.”

Haddock estimated festival attendance at more than 10,000. n

“We’ll Take Care of It!”

Share-Your-Holidays is Right Around the Corner

By Tiffany Pressler

T

he holiday season marks the perfect time to give unto others.

“I think inside, everyone wants to give back,” says Jae Marciano, the new general manager of Ramona Food & Clothes Closet. “Everyone wants to do something nice around Christmas.”

Ramona Food & Clothes Closet would like businesses

and organizations to help collect new and unwrapped toys and canned food for its Share-Your-Holidays Program.

“We bring Christmas to kids who wouldn’t have it,” says Marciano. “We want everybody to have a Christmas.”

Low-income families may apply for the program from noon to 4 p.m., Dec. 2 through 6, at the store. In order to

qualify, the families must live in the areas of Julian, Santa Ysabel, Ranchita, Warner Springs, Borrego Springs or Ramona; prove that they are low-income; and show identification, and they will be allowed to shop for their family, including children, and at a reasonable price.

The store will give out boxes of food to make sure the families have a Christmas meal. If the families qualify, they will receive an invitation to the Share-Your-Holiday event. Last year, they had 200 families participate and they are shooting for the same number this year.

“All of the proceeds of this store go back to the community,” says Marciano. Every donation goes back in four ways: student scholarships; giving out food and clothes for free to low income families and homeless; Share-YourHolidays; and the medical equipment loan program,

where the thrift store loans out crutches and wheelchairs for free, which are returned after they are not needed.

It’s the honor system, she says. “If you donate here, it stays here.”

The organization offers a variety of ways to give back to the community. This can be done by dropping off used items, checks or food, or by volunteering. It’s easy to donate at the drive-through donation lane behind the store, where store employees and volunteers unload items and give donors a slip for tax write-offs.

Senator Anderson to Host Holiday Open House State Senator Joel Anderson invites locals to kick off the season at his annual Holiday Legislative Open House, Nov. 21. The event provides an opportunity for Senator Anderson and staff to meet with residents and hear their ideas on how to improve California. Anderson says that many of the bills he has introduced in the past originated from people who attended the event.

“It is important for me to represent my district to the best of my ability,”stated Anderson. “This event gives me an opportunity to hear directly from my constituents about their opinions and legislative ideas. Certainly my best legislative ideas have come from the people I serve.”

According to the senator’s office, last year there were more than 1,500 residents who attended the event, resulting in three to five bills the senator carried in the last legislative session.

The free event, which is open to all, will also feature a 2013 legislative update.

The open house will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at Toyota of El Cajon, 965 Arnele Ave., El Cajon, 92020. Hors d’ oeuvres and refreshments will be provided. RSVP by Nov. 7 by calling the El Cajon District Office at 619-5963136 or visiting www.senate. ca.gov/anderson. n
