Annual Homecoming

Rallies the Community

by Ann reilly Cole ~ the journal

The tradition of welcom-ing residents and alumni to a parade, football and

dance goes back more than a hundred years in this country. Each year, schools recreate the rituals of crowning teen royalty and cheering on the home team with pomp and circumstance.

Last month, under the direction of the Associated Student Body (ASB), Julian Union High School students repeated the Homecoming

custom, leading the community in a spirited rally for local athletes and scholars, and adding color and excitement to an otherwise ordinary school week.

“Spirit Week” was celebrated at JUHS, with students com-peting to earn points for their respective classes by dressing according to the day’s theme. Camouflage, tie-dye, twins and pajamas were the lead-up to the final day of character costumes.

Students from each class chose a “timeless movie” as the

theme for their parade float. The seniors went with “Alice in Wonderland,” juniors selected “Indiana Jones,” sophomores chose “The Wizard of Oz,” and the freshman class picked “Grease.”

A pep rally led by JUHS seniors Diana Gonzalez and Laura Rose Pawlicki kept the energy and optimism high for the weekend’s activities.

The day before the parade, the JUHS parking lot took on the energy of a motion picture studio back lot, as students and

advisors transformed trucks and trailers into movie scenes, working side by side in a lighthearted competition late into the evening. Each vied for coveted bragging rights for the best float of the Homecoming parade.

On Friday morning, all dressed and made-up, the princes, princesses and cast of characters from classic movies lined up south of town for the annual march down

Victoria Montes and Daniel Streamer are crowned the Julian Homecoming King and Queen.

support on a broad range of topics.Jacob explained that she never

aspired to be in politics. Born in Mission Hills, her family left “the city” and kept moving east, seeking a rural life. A third-generation San Diegan with a lifetime teaching credential, she was happy to be living with her family, tending chickens and pigs and canning her produce, when a neighbor informed her of an issue facing her neighborhood. Jacob joined the fight, one thing led to another, and today she is a six- term County Supervisor, defending constituents’ interests since 1992.

The microphone was passed around the hall to allow people to introduce themselves and any topic that they would like the community and the supervisor to consider.

Representing the Julian Medical Foundation, Chuck Kimball optimisti-cally mentioned that the new medical clinic might be coming soon, as they consider a funding source that would move the project forward.

Ed Glass of Butterfield Bed & Breakfast and member of the Julian Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors came with a funding request for the ongoing renovation of Julian Town Hall, as part of an overall plan to re-establish Julian as a tourist destina-tion. According to Glass, tourism in Julian has yet to recover from the 2008 recession.

Local Boy Scout David Stringfellow sought support for his Eagle Scout project to build a welcome sign for the Julian historic district.

Some thanked Jacob for her help in solving a problem or providing funds for a project, while others raised local issues, such as road maintenance and clearing.

Once the introductions were com-plete, two hot topics dominated the conversation: the status of unreliable high-speed Internet in the backcountry, and marijuana production in the form of illegal plants on private property, as well as a sanctioned marijuana dispensary that may be coming to the community.

“I can always tell when there is an issue brewing by the number of people who turn out,” said Jacob.

Kurt Boettcher of Julian wanted to know what could be done about the problem of limited Internet access in backcountry neighborhoods. Boettcher complained that AT&T is no longer maintaining copper lines and will not expand networks outside of Main Street, where there is excellent high-speed fiber-optic technology. Some neighbor-

Jacob Announces Local ‘Vet Connect’ and Wildfire Map

San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob presented information in her Oct. 13 “Dianne’s Corner” newsletter about the launch of Vet Connect access at Julian Library and the creation of a Wildfire Hazard Map.

Regarding Vet Connect, Jacob said, “It allows veterans to talk with county Veterans Services staff over the

Internet, via a video and audio link at the Julian Library. The idea for Vet Connect came up after veterans and others came to me and raised concerns about their access to critical services. With this initiative, we’re saving back-country residents a time- consuming trip into town.”

The program is set to come to other libraries in the

county system, she said.A Wildfire Hazard Map

is a resource that allows residents to see if they live in a state-designated hazard zone, and “provides critical information on how to prepare for wildfire,” she said.

A link to the interactive map may be found at www.readysandiego.org. n

hoods, such as Pine Hills and Wynola, are not even con-nected, forcing residents to rely on worn, outdated infrastruc-ture or undependable satellite technology. Boettcher reported that AT&T employees stated that the historical review board would not allow them to bring services to the backcountry. Boettcher reached out to the architectural review board, which denied any such restric-tion, a fact that was confirmed by a board member present at the meeting.

Jacob encouraged those interested to give contact infor-mation to her policy advisor, Matthew Parr, who will set up a meeting with AT&T to discuss what can be done about the situation. Anyone who would

like to be involved may contact him at [email protected].

Jean Duffy of Drug Free Julian announced that except for San Diego, all of the cities in the county have banned marijuana dispensaries. This has pushed dispensaries into the unincorporated areas of San Diego. According to Duffy, at least one of three new dispensaries in Ramona is run by people who are currently in escrow to purchase a property on Newman Way to open a dispensary in Julian.

Fred Dornan, owner of Miner’s Diner, spoke out against the transaction, and said that the buyers had previously approached him with an offer to buy his prop-

erty for three times its value, which he declined.

After listening to citizens’ concerns, Jacob agreed that it is a serious problem. She pointed out that it is a federal crime to grow, possess or distribute marijuana and recommended sharing concerns with the property owner to try to quash the sale. Jacob strongly encouraged commu-nity involvement to face this tough issue, saying that organized citizens can make a difference.

During the meeting, Jacob delegated her staff to note issues that her office would address, and welcomed those interested in working directly with her to find solutions to problems facing the community.

All For A Brighter Christmas

by Johnny mcDonald ~ the journal

As a young boy on Christmas Eve, I would be sent off to bed by my parents and close the door to my room.

Then, they’d scurry around to bring in a tree and load it down with lights, garland and ornaments, all ready for Christmas morning.

And in true belief, I knew that Santa had done it all just for me.

Well, today there may not be the same Santa “magic,” but there are enough elves around Julian to brighten things for another Christmas season.

The “elves” are a committee of 25 townspeople who will put up the lights, garland and wreaths in time for Thanksgiving, allowing visitors and residents to enjoy Julian’s holiday ambiance through early January.

Chairman Ed Glass said the first committee meeting was in early October, and volunteers will go to work the first week of November in designated locations for the installation of Christmas displays. He and his wife, Dawn, are owners of Buttferfield Bed & Breakfast. Have been since 1999.

“We focus on the downtown area — specifically, Main Street,” said Glass, referring to the committee. “Then, we concentrate on the big cedar tree in the Pioneer Museum Park.”

Kirsten Starlin supervises a crew that prepares the park’s pathways and adds hay bales for seating and stage decorations.

Ron and Cathy Ozbun created and updated the installation manual for the decorating team, while Tracy Turner guides the activity among vendors.

DJ Dave Klumph of Dave’s Musical Entertainment will provide the sound equipment. Seidl’s Party Rentals of Ramona will handle the canopy, stage, lighting and props.

“What we are doing differently would be the day of the (opening) event, we’ll have a fairly extensive musical production for the tree lighting itself.”

In another change, he said performers will be spread through-out the town to encourage people to walk through the shops.

“The tree itself will have approximately 3,000 lights and take two weeks to complete,” he said. “I don’t know how

many are around town, but it’s in the thousands.”Mike Menghini and Glass are the installers for the

80-foot-tall cedar Christmas tree at Pioneer Museum Park, and upper areas of buildings along Main Street. “We’ve been working together on the 135-foot boom lift since 1999,” said Glass. “The rest of the ladder work is done by our team of volunteers, directed by Johnny and Diane Hake.”

Glass spoke of other towns, like Palm Springs and Temecula, where professional installers charge for their services.

“We get quotes each year, and it’s up to the $30,000 to $40,000 range,” he said. “But we do it with fundraising and donations. We have to replace lights now and then. But about 10 years ago, we switched from standard lights to LED, and

that has saved us tremendously on the electric bill.”

Over the 17 years he’s been doing this, he’s only had bad weather two or three

times. He said it was rained out once.The holiday season in Julian also

offers an opportunity to shop for one- of-a-kind gifts at small boutiques and craft shows, without crowds or lines.

“Couldn’t put everything together this year for the ‘Christmas Carol,’ but we’ll do a version of ‘Handel’s Messiah,’” Glass

Visitors can indulge in a Victorian Christmas tea, sing Christmas carols with costumed holiday carolers, sip a cup of hot chocolate or spiced cider, watch the annual living Nativity tableau, and cuddle under a blanket while riding down Main Street in a carriage.

This may be a bit of a dream. But due to its Cuyamaca Mountains location, holiday time in Julian gets closer to the dream than most spots in Southern California.

Service: A Way of Life at the Legionby Ann reilly Cole ~ the journal

Chartered by the United States Congress in 1919, the American Legion is the nation’s largest

wartime veterans’ service organization. Among its stated missions are commit-ments to mentoring youth, sponsoring

wholesome community programs and advocating patriotism.

With the Legion’s 14,000 posts world-wide, patriots don’t have to travel far to find a welcoming place and a friendly face. Since 1934, visitors and residents have frequented the Lincoln Deming Post 468 in Julian to socialize with like-

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

For homeowners who want to modernize their old kitchen, the big question is, should I refinish, reface or replace my older cabinets? I recommend each case be reviewed based on the answer to several qualifying questions.First, what are your main reasons for modernizing your kitchen?

• Eliminate the ugly and impossible-to- maintain tile countertops.

• Increase the food preparation space.• Improve cabinet access and increase storage.• Make my kitchen an inviting and

exciting part of my home.Are you planning on staying in this home for a long time?

• Yes, we have decided this is something we want for ourselves.

• Maybe, we might downsize in the next few years.

• No, we will be moving soon.Do the existing cabinets have high quality hinges, drawer guides and interiors?

• Not sure. Everything works but the house was built 25 years ago.

• No, the drawers are difficult to operate and the hinges are exposed.

• Yes, the builder used good materials and the only problem is the look.

Do you have a budget allowance that may influence your choices?

• Yes, we are on a fixed income and can’t spend our retirement to do this.

• We have no idea what the costs may be, so we have not developed a budget.

• We are prepared to do what it takes, but it has to be within reason.

My recommendations flow from the answers to these fundamental issues. For example, it doesn’t

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

minded citizens and support worthwhile local activities.

Some 600 registered mem-bers of Post 468 are divided among three organizations: The American Legion, which is open to active-duty military and military veterans; The Sons of the American Legion, open to sons and grandsons of military and veterans; and the American Legion Auxiliary, which is open to spouses, daughters and granddaughters of military and veterans.

The Julian Post is so popular it claims members from coast to coast. Post Commander Chris Sanders once asked a fellow from Oregon why he didn’t join a Post near where he lived instead of joining in Julian.

“Because you do stuff here,” replied the visitor.

“Tourists come in and decide they want to be a part of what we are doing here,” said Sanders.

With four months under his belt as commander, Sanders says the volunteer position is “Keeping him sane,” even though sometimes it is crazy-busy. Sanders, who retired from the Army National Guard after 21 years, oversees the local Post, making sure everyone is

doing their part. This is no small task, considering that everyone who “works” at the Legion is a volunteer. That’s one house manager, two cooks and four bartenders/waitresses who work shifts that keep the Post open and serving customers 363 days a year. In addition to serving lunch daily, there are occasional breakfasts, dinners

and an annual dance that all raise money for local causes.

Roy Wathen has been kitchen manager at the Legion for four years and enjoys being part of an organization that does so much good in the community.

“I love it. I especially like serving those who served our country,” said Wathen. “God bless those guys. If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t have this way of living we have.”

The list of beneficiaries of the generosity of the Legionnaires is impressive. The local Boy Scout troop, schools, individual students, sports teams, fire stations, Julian Town Hall, veterans and veterans’ organizations have all been helped financially from the tens of thousands of dollars in donations raised annually.

The support that the Legion provides is not just financial, but social and emotional, too. Saturday night pool tournaments and impromptu jam sessions provide entertainment for members. Post Chaplain Jimmy Carter performs funeral services at the Julian Pioneer Cemetery, followed by potluck repasts at the Post.

Additionally, Legion families use the meeting room for parties and celebrations.

“When you leave the service, a big part of your life is gone, and it takes time to adjust,” said Sanders. “Being part of an organization who you can

relate to and who can relate to you — it helps.”

Through active membership and volunteerism, Julian Post 468 makes a difference in the lives of those who serve and have served our nation — and the rest of us. n

Peggy Joe Balentine, 63, businesswoman and resident of Julian, Calif., passed away Sept. 14, 2015, following a year-long battle with lung cancer. Her daughter, Lora Kapelczak, was by her side.

Peggy was born in 1952 in Truman, Ark., the second of seven children born to Betty and Joe Balentine.

“She lived a full life and had adven-tures in many places around the world, yet she settled in the peaceful town of Julian and was the proud owner of Julian Mountain Emporium, which her family will continue to run in her honor,” Kapelczak said.

Peggy took great pride in being a

charitable lady, and endlessly donated her time and energy to her community, local clubs, church, and many of its members. “She was a strong Christian woman and never wavered in her faith and how blessed God had made her, and even in her final moments was in prayer.”

She is survived by Kapelczak, her only child; grandchildren Ava, Lana and Maddox; siblings Glenda Smith, Sandra Graetz, Rick Balentine, Leon Isbell, Sharon Elliston and Denise McMurray; and many loving nieces and nephews.

A memorial service and celebration of life were held Oct. 23. Family members expressed thanks to all who prayed, visited and cared for Peggy Joe in her final months. n

Medicare Open Enrollment Season is Here

by David Sayen

When you shop for a new car, you don’t just buy the first one you see. You shop around, looking for the best deal you can

get on a vehicle that fits your driving needs as well as your pocketbook.

Well, it’s the time of year when you should think about shopping for a Medicare health or drug plan.

Medicare open enrollment period began Oct. 15 and continues through Dec. 7.

If you have Original Medicare, meaning that you can choose any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, you don’t need to think about open enrollment.

But if you have a Medicare Advantage (Part C) health plan, or a Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plan, you may want to see if there’s a new plan on the market that would be a better match for you, at a lower price.

If you’re enrolled in a plan already and you’re happy with it, you don’t need to do anything. But Medicare health and drug plans — which are run by private insurers under contract to Medicare — can change from year to year. A plan can raise its monthly premium or drop a medicine that you need.

So it makes good sense to review your cover-age each year. Make sure your plan is still a good fit for you in terms of cost, coverage and quality. If it isn’t, look for another plan.

During open enrollment, you can sign up for a Medicare Advantage health plan or Part D prescription drug plan, or switch from one plan to another. Your new coverage will take effect Jan. 1, 2016.

There are several ways to shop for a new plan.One is the “Medicare & You” handbook, which

is mailed each fall to every Medicare household in the country. This booklet lists all the Medicare Advantage and Part D drug plans that are avail-able where you live, along with basic information about premiums, deductibles and contact information.

There’s also the Medicare Plan Finder, at the www.medicare.gov website. Look for a green button that says, “Find health & drug plans.” By clicking on that and plugging in your ZIP code, you’ll be able to see all of the Medicare Advantage and Part D plans available in your area.

You can compare them based on benefits, premi-ums, co-pays and estimated out-of-pocket costs. Contact information for the plans is listed.

If you don’t have access to a computer, call 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227). Customer ser-vice representatives can help you with questions about Medicare health and drug plans. The call is free.

Another very helpful resource is California’s Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program, or HICAP, an independent, nonprofit organization that provides free, personalized counseling to people with Medicare. Counselors are well-trained volunteers who often are enrolled in Medicare themselves, so they know the issues. They can help you sort through the many health and drug plans on the market and pick one that’s right for you. You can make an appointment to speak with a HICAP counselor either in person or over the phone by calling 800-434-0222.

If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan as of Jan. 1, 2016, but you’re not satisfied with it, you have a 45-day window to dis-enroll. Between Jan. 1 and Feb. 14, 2016, you can drop your plan and return to Original Medicare. You can also sign up for a Part D drug plan during that time.

If you are having trouble paying for your Part D plan, you may be eligible for the Extra Help program, which helps cover premi-ums, deductibles and co-pays. Medicare beneficiaries typically save about $4,000 annually with Extra Help. For informa-tion, go to www.ssa.gov/ prescriptionhelp. n

VOTED RAMONA’S BEST 4 YEARS IN A ROW 2012 - 2015

Main Street, past cheering children, residents and a team of five judges, who tallied a scorecard on the creativity, enthusiasm and presentation of the floats.

By Friday evening, it was time for the football contest against rival Borrego Springs, and the ritual crowning of the Julian Homecoming King and Queen. Sadly for Eagles fans, the Rams shut out the home team in a tough match. Not all was lost, however, as a fantastic turn-out covered the costs of dance supplies and floodlights and netted a tidy profit of $600.

In a ceremony organized by Pawlicki, with help from Eva Hatch, Daniel Streamer and Victoria Montes were crowned this year’s king and queen. Float winners were also announced, with seniors grabbing first place,

followed by sophomores, juniors and freshmen.

Meanwhile, the dance committee, headed up by Vladimir Wong, trans-formed the JUHS multipurpose room and hallway into a glamorous backdrop for an evening of dancing and memories the following night. As guests arrived in semiformal finery, they passed through balloon arches into a room decorated with stars and touches of Hollywood style. Throughout the evening, students danced to popular tunes and enjoyed snacks donated by parents.

With the Homecoming tradition in Julian and school spirit firmly intact yet another year, JUHS concluded the activities with, what else, a cleanup committee of ASB officers to restore the school for campus life. n

10 sage leaves, finely chopped

3 sprigs rosemary, leaves finely chopped

10 cups stale cornbread, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 cups dried cranberries3 to 4 cups chicken stock

DIreCTIoNSPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F.Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, add the onions

and celery and saute over medium heat. Season with salt and cook until the vegetables start to become soft and are very aromatic. Add the sausage and cook until the sausage begins to brown. Stir in the garlic and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the walnuts, sage and rosemary and cook for another minute, then remove from heat.

In a large bowl mix together the cornbread, cranber-ries, and sausage mixture. Add chicken stock and knead with your hands until the bread is very moist, actually wet. Taste to check for seasoning and season with salt, if needed, and transfer to an ovenproof dish.

Bake the stuffing until it is hot all the way through and is crusty on top, about 30 to 35 minutes.

Remove turkey from the roasting pan and set aside to rest. Leave drippings from the turkey in the pan and place the roasting pan over medium heat. Add the broth and wine at the same time. Whisk to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan until all of the bits have come loose. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes in order to reduce the mixture slightly. Transfer the liquid to a fat separator and let sit for 5 minutes to allow fat to separate. Return 2/3 to 3/4 cup of the fat to the roasting pan and place over medium-high heat. Discard any remaining fat. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture starts to thicken and become smooth, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.

Once this happens, gradually add the liquid back to the pan and whisk until smooth and you have reached your desired consistency, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Remember, your gravy should be slightly thin in the pan as it will thicken once you serve it. Add the herbs and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

2 teaspoons pepper2 stalks celery, cut in lengths to fit turkey cavity1 medium sweet onion, cut in half1 large carrot, cut in lengths to fit the turkey cavity2 cups boiling waterDIreCTIoNS

Adjust the oven racks so the covered roasting pan fits easily inside. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

Rub butter on outside and in the cavity of the turkey. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the inside and outside of the turkey. Put celery, onion and carrot in the cavity. Place the turkey, breast-side up, in a large roasting pan. Pour boiling water into the pan. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and put the pan in the oven.

Start a timer when the oven temperature returns to 500 degrees F. Bake for exactly 1 hour and turn off the oven. Do not open the oven door! Leave the turkey in the oven until the oven completely cools; this may take 4 to 6 hours. Reserve the pan juices and refrigerate the turkey if it will not be served soon after roasting.
