Julian Union High School Fall Sports Reportby Ann reilly cole ~ the journal

Julian Union High School student athletes had a busy fall season, with five teams

participating in competitive sports against like-sized schools within San Diego county.

boys and girls cross coun-try, girls volleyball, cheer and football all provided excellent opportunities for students to hone athletic skills, learn team-work and keep up with their studies, with many achieving honor-roll status.

Students must be organized, efficient and proactive to man-age competitive sports and classwork. In addition to prac-ticing a couple of hours every day, the one- to 1 ½-hour travel time to and from away games demands that students be excused from classes and return home late into the evening on game days, requiring them to make up missed classwork and its accompanying homework on their own time.

Cross Countryboys cross country finished

on top, taking home the cham-

pionship trophy for the citrus League boys team, Division V, with ethan elisara (first), Shane Duffy (second) and Jed Kron (fourth) at the finals. Sophomore elisara won as the individual league champion and bested the standing record by 24 seconds at 17:02 for the 3.1-mile course. All-League Honors

medals went to Nik carneiro and P.J. Davis Scholl, in addi-tion to the finishers mentioned above.

The girls Xc delivered a con-sistently strong performance throughout the season, coming in second in their division, with six out of eight girls achieving personal records during the

final league race. Sophomores esme Killiane and Lakota booth finished in the top 10 to bring home All-League Honors medals.

“I’m so proud of both my teams for their hard work this season,” said coach Sandy balcom. “I know we have a very bright future.”

The seven top finishers

of each Julian team raced at the california Interscholastic Federation championship in San Diego against dozens of other teams in their divi-sions for a chance to earn a spot at the california State

championship meet in Fresno. The boys’ team tied for fourth place out of 18 teams. elisara finished third out of 128 run-ners with a time of 17:52 and qualified to run at the state meet. The girls’ team took the 10th spot at the county race.

FootballAlthough a tough year for

the eagles Football team, with a 2-8 overall record for the season and just one win out of five citrus League matches, coach Tim White believes that the young team has the potential and the drive to build on expe-rience gained this year to vie for a stronger finish next year,

keeping an eye on the league championship.

big wins on the home field against Public Safety Academy and Warner Springs were high-lights of a season that presented setbacks for the eagles, includ-ing an away-night game where

the lights went out twice.“The team learned to handle

and overcome adversity,” said White.

An outstanding performance by senior and team captain Daniel Streamer — with 12 touchdowns, 72 tackles and an interception returned for a TD — set the bar for next year’s team.

CheerFor the first time in five

years, the cheer team, under the leadership of coach elizabeth Sinclair, traveled with the foot-ball team to away games, which allowed them to observe other cheer teams and learn new techniques for stunting and crowd participation. cheering at away games also taught the

girls the importance of making a good impression as they per-form among peers in public.

Through perseverance and dedication, the girls mastered difficult stunts, including the half-hold, full-hold, basket-toss and the half-one-man, for the strongest stunting performance by the team in recent years.

“I’m so proud of the girls this year,” said Sinclair. “They pushed through fear, falls and wrist pain to make the stunts sharper, tighter and higher!”

exceptional performances by Lorena Silva, caitlin Sanders and rookie Veronica Lopez kept the momentum of spirit and skill going until the very end of the season. Silva and Sanders found their voices this year, tying for loudest cheerleader.

The cheer team is hoping to attend camps this summer and participate in competitions next year.

VolleyballLady eagles Volleyball, the

Strong players with solid performances set the tone for the team. Senior chelsea Huggins led the varsity squad with 23 service aces and crushed the ball with 16 kills during citrus League match-ups. Huggins also made the first team All-League as middle blocker and hitter, while lead setter Laura rose Pawlicki, also a senior, made second team All-League. Freshman Kyla blanco’s overpowering serving abilities earned her a spot on the sec-ond team All-League, as well.

coach Theresa Gregor and

assistant coach Holly Pawlicki now look to juniors emy Gregor and Shannon Stanley to step up to leadership positions on next year’s team, with key support from returning varsity players rachel ritchie, Hayley Anderson and matilde Padilla.

Fall sports team members turned in their uniforms after a

competitive season highlighted by individual and team achieve-ment. Winter sports at JUHS are already under way with hardly a breather, as the eagles gear up and practice hard to develop their physical prowess and mental acuity in wrestling, boys and girls soccer and boys and girls basketball. n

The San Diego regional Fire Foundation awarded grants to 10 county fire agencies, including Julian cuyamaca Fire Protection District, $26,672; mount Laguna Fire Station, $10,000; and borrego Springs Fire Protection District, $26,672. They were among the 10 fire agencies receiving grants at the Fire Foundation’s awards pre-sentation Nov. 19

The grants are earmarked for personal protective equipment for Julian and borrego Springs, and firefighter training for mount Laguna.

“Since its inception, the Fire Foundation has granted more than $5 million for fire-fighting equipment, ranging from basic needs, such as fire hose, ladders and protective clothing, to fire engines and ambulances, automatic electronic defibrillators, mass

casualty kits and automatic vehicle locators for fire trucks, which have a major regional benefit,” said Fire Foundation chairman Frank Ault.

The Fire Foundation was formed in 1989, to provide

financial support for first-responder equipment and training. The grants are funded by contributions from San Diego Gas & electric, the San Diego Foundation and other organizations. n

The Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District was one of 10 fire agencies that were awarded grants last month. Pictured are Julian Fire Chief Rick Marinelli and Joan Jones of the san Diego Regional Fire Foundation.

ProFlame Delivers Big Check to Julian Elementaryby Ann reilly cole ~ the journal

A team from ProFlame of ramona and Santa Ysabel visited Julian elemen-

tary School during an awards ceremony last month to deliver

a pretty big check as part of the School Days Program at its parent company AmeriGas, a nationwide distributer of propane.

The school received a whopping $475.02, just for

collecting receipts from AmeriGas customers, to be used to benefit students at the local school. ProFlame district manager rich Hadsell promised to come back with an even bigger check next time, if the school continues to collect receipts and send them in to the local office in Santa Ysabel.

Hadsell explained the program to those present, so families, neighbors and friends of the school can help support the campaign to get those receipts collected.

At the bottom of every AmeriGas bill is a receipt detailing how many gallons of propane were consumed during that billing cycle. AmeriGas customers can help schools raise money by clip-ping the receipt and sending it to a school registered with the School Days Program. When the school is ready to receive a check, they then submit the collected receipts to ProFlame, who in turn will request a check from AmeriGas in the amount of $.02 for every gallon listed on those receipts, up to $2,000 per school year.

The funds can be used for whatever the school needs. There is no cost to the school or the propane customer to participate in the program, other than to collect and submit the receipts.

Since 2009, AmeriGas has given away more than $340,000 nationwide, but locally, few schools are participating and have benefited from the pro-gram. With the chilly winter season upon us, and propane use up, now is a great time to be collecting those receipts to help out the local schools. ProFlame has thousands of customers in the backcountry that can help out the area schools by saving and submitting their receipts.

“We want to encourage backcountry residents to take

advantage of this opportunity,” said Tiffaney mccune, growth champion at the Santa Ysabel ProFlame office, who was excit-ed to be giving the money to the school. “This is free money.”

Principal Scot copeland accepted the check on behalf of the school, and is looking to enhance classroom resources with the funds by purchasing student computers or putting the funds toward a smart board to increase teacher effectiveness.

For information, call ProFlame at 760-765-0130. n

Catching Up with ‘Carving A Life’by Ann reilly cole ~ the journal

more than a year after a wrap party celebrated the completion of

filming of the movie “carving A Life,” director Terry ross of Julian recently received the third rough cut of the film. It required four re-shoots and the filming of pickup shots to get what she needed to create what

she believes is an exceptional film about a young sculptor with haunting memories and an alcohol addiction that threaten his chance at happiness.

“We are truly and absolutely done with shooting!” said ross.

That doesn’t mean, however, that the film is on its way to a theater near you. Well, it is, but it still has to make a few stops along the way.

This last edit will still likely need some tweaking by select-ing the scenes that best tell the story and eliminating any scenes that don’t move the narrative along. once that is done, the film is ready for color correcting, the next step in its journey.

The aim in this stage of the project is to adjust the footage for optimal exposure and balance of light. A tedious process, color correcting employs the artist’s eye and the computer’s analytical power to adjust the color temperature of each clip, which in turn creates the desired effect for the scene.

once the visuals are done, the film goes to the composer, who will “score” the movie with music to enhance the story-

telling. The film’s writer and executive producer Lisa bruhn is working on acquiring rights to music by San Diego-area bands, in addition to col-laborating with a composer to create original music for the soundtrack, including a song that she wrote specifically for the film’s co-star Karenssa LeGear.

All of this is for naught, however, unless the film is seen by audiences. To make that happen, another team

needs to get involved. considering that tens of

thousands of new films are released each year, it would be easy for any film to be overlooked. Finding the right

people to sell, distribute and strategically screen the film is critical to its ultimate success. To accomplish this, ross and bruhn hired emmy Award-winner michael Towe to edit three scenes, which became part of an electronic press kit that bruhn presented at the American Film market in Los Angeles. Initial interest at the AFm provided bruhn with a list of potential sales agents and film catalogues that could be a good fit for the project.

The last step in the creation of the film as a product is to add the credits, that long list of

Lisa Bruhn is the writer and producer of “Carving A Life.”

fall and winter due to strong el Niño conditions in the Pacific ocean. mountain community residents got a preview with recent storms.

more than 100 first respond-ers and other local officials gathered at the county office of emergency Services for a briefing on upcoming winter weather forecasts and ideas on how to prepare.

This included the National Weather Service, the county’s Department of Public Works, office of emergency Services, california Department of Water resources, U.S. Army corps of engineers, San Diego Fire-rescue, county Water Authority and the National resources conservation Service.

“If the conditions continue as observed so far, this could be the strongest el Niño season on record,” reported Alex Tardy, meteorologist manager for the National Weather Service.

“This season may not necessarily bring bigger storms, but more frequent storms. And the wet conditions are also expected not only in January, February and march, but into April.

“Still, because we are so short of rainfall — 27 inches total statewide — even with a wet el Niño season, we are likely to still be in drought come the spring.”

emergency managers recom-mend that everyone take steps to prepare their property for potential flooding, and their families for this and any disaster.

The county has prepared a list of pre-approved emergency contractors and vendors to call upon in a major storm.

Water, mud and debris will

flow downhill, so to prevent erosion that could damage a home or building, residents are urged to consider using mulch, terracing slopes or planting a variety of groundcover or shrubs.

Hake said he remembers the last el Niño, when there were severe mudslides and roads were damaged.

“Neighbors kept an eye on this,” he said. “It’s just about neighbors helping neighbor.”

Hake is always recruiting. currently, he has a class of 15, which includes a few from ramona.

“each area has a team leader to conduct search and rescue.” Hake said. “Ham radio operators will also be pressed into service from a new communications center.”

The thunderstorm that hit the county a few weeks ago might have served notice as to what’s to come. n

The Julian community emergency response Team (cerT) is always

ready just in case there’s some action.

The “case” may be what weather forecasters describe as an impending el Niño that might stir up the heaviest and

longest storm season in history.Johnny Hake, director of

the cerT clinic, says he has 1,000 volunteers ready to meet whatever challenges the weather brings.

Forecasters predict San Diego county could be in for higher-than-average rain this

Authorities Warn of IRS Phone and Email Scams

If your phone rings and the caller claims to be from the IrS, it’s a scam, according to the IrS and the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. Thieves are also using email in an attempt to scam potential victims into giving up personal and financial information.

The IrS says that scammers often use the IrS name, logo or a fake website to try and steal not only residents’ money, but their identity, as well.

The sheriff’s department alerted area residents about the scam phone calls after receiving reports of callers who are very aggressive, even threatening jail

time or a lawsuit if taxes aren’t paid. Any time a caller or an email is

asking for money, it is a scam. If it is a phone call, hang up

immediately and never give out personal information. report it to the IrS by calling 800-366-4484.

If it is an email, do not reply to the message. Forward the email to [email protected] and then delete it. Do not open any email attachments or links.

IrS representatives will never call you to demand immediate payment. Instead, they first send a bill in the mail. They will never demand you pay taxes

and not allow you to question or appeal the amount you owe. They will never require that you pay your taxes a cer-tain way, such as with a prepaid debit card. They will never ask for your credit or debit card numbers over the phone. And they will never threaten to bring in law enforcement agencies to arrest you for not paying.

If you think you may owe taxes, call the IrS directly at 800-829-1040.

Visit www.irs.gov for information about reporting phone scams or email phishing attempts. n

How You Can Fight Medicare Fraudby David Sayen

It’s an unfortunate truth, but health care fraud drives up costs for everyone in the

health care system. Fraud schemes often depend

on identity thieves getting hold of people’s medicare numbers. So guard your medicare num-ber. Treat it as you would a credit card.

What can you do to protect yourself from health care fraud? Here are some suggestions:

• Don’t share your Medicare number or other personal information with anyone who contacts you by phone, email, or by approaching you in person, unless you’ve given them permission in advance.

• Tell your friends and neighbors to guard their medicare numbers.

• Don’t ever let anyone borrow or pay to use your medicare number.

• Review your Medicare Summary Notice to be sure you and medicare are only being charged for services you actually received.

• Be wary of salespeople who knock on your door or call you uninvited and try to sell you a product or service.

• Don’t accept items received through the mail that you didn’t order. You should refuse the delivery and/or return it to the sender. Keep a record of the sender’s name and the date you returned the items.

Fraudsters often surface during medicare’s open enroll-ment season, which runs from oct. 15 to Dec. 7. So if you’re

planning to enroll in a medicare Part c health plan (medicare Advantage) or Part D prescription drug plan:

• Be suspicious of any-one who contacts you about medicare plans unless you gave them permission.

• There are no “early bird discounts” or “limited time offers” for medicare plans.

• Don’t let anyone rush you to enroll by claiming you need to “act now for the best deal.”

• Be skeptical of free gifts, free medical services, discount packages or any offer that sounds too good to be true.

• Any promotional items you’re offered to enroll in a medicare plan must be worth no more than $15. And these items can’t be given on the condition that you enroll in

a plan.A common ploy of identity

thieves is to say they can send you your free gift right away — they just need your medicare number to confirm. Decline politely but firmly. remember: it’s not rude to be shrewd!

If you suspect a health care fraud, report it by calling 800-meDIcAre (800-633-4227).

You can learn more about protecting yourself from health care fraud by visiting www.medicare.gov or by contacting your local Senior medicare Patrol (SmP), a non-profit organization made up of

highly trained volunteers who teach others about health care fraud. SmP volunteers show medicare and medicaid recipi-ents how to protect against, detect and report fraud. Use the SmP Locator at www.smpresource.org. n

David Sayen is Medicare’s regional administrator for Arizona, California, Nevada, Hawaii, and the Pacific Territories. You can always get answers to your Medicare questions by calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800- 633-4227).

“The making of ‘carving A Life’ has been a fantastic journey, where I’ve made lasting relationships with cast and crew, especially the very talented Terry ross,” said bruhn.

After the technical produc-tion is completed and the distribution contracts are arranged, the film is finally ready to be screened for the general public, which may be as soon as April 2016, a little more than four years after bruhn began writing the story.

ross and bruhn look forward to presenting the film at a special screening in Julian after its release in the spring. n

cal Fire asks residents to be mindful of the danger that lurks in the kitchen during

the holiday season, as home cooking fires spike on major U.S. holidays such as christmas Day and christmas eve.

“During the holidays, we tend to have multiple items cooking on the stove while we are visiting with friends and family,” said chief Ken Pimlott, cal Fire director. “It is critical to not get distracted and to always stand next to what you are cooking.”

“Unattended cooking is the leading cause of home cooking fires,” said chief Tonya Hoover, State Fire marshal. “That is why it is so important to stay in the kitchen when preparing your holiday meal.”

Turn off the stove if you

have to leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, and use a timer to remind you that food is cooking.

Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove, so some-one walking by is less likely to bump them or pull them over.

When using a turkey fryer, be sure to follow instructions closely. Don’t exceed the

recommended oil level and only use the device outdoors. Also, never use water to put out a grease fire.

It is also essential to ensure that there are working smoke alarms installed, Hoover says. “It’s an added measure to protect you from fires in your home.”

Kitchen Fires More Likely During the Holidays

mortgage expert Jan Paulsen of rancho Financial announced a new grant program — Golden State Finance Authority — that may benefit homebuyers.

“This program is for people buying primary residences,” said Paulsen. “The buyers do not have to be first-time home-buyers but, of course, first-time homebuyers can use it, too.”

because it is a grant and not a loan, it does not have to be paid back.

“This grant provides 3 to 5 percent of the loan amount for use as down payment and/or

for closing costs,” said Paulsen. “That’s a lot of money! A buyer can use it with FHA, VA and conventional financing.”

There are income limitations that vary from county to county, but they are generous, she said.

“If you or someone you know wants to buy a home and doesn’t have all the funds to do so, this would be a great program to look into.”

restrictions apply, and programs and terms are subject to change without notice.

Times have changed since the days when hot-rodders could be found working

on their racecars in many neighborhoods.

They would get their Saturday night specials ready for another challenge on nearby racetracks.

There were choices then.This was the vigil for

close to 60 years, until cajon Speedway waved its final checkered flag in 2004.

Aside from the last outposts at barona, one by one, proper-ties changed to industrial development and apartments, or were just lost to attrition. Sadly, the property where cajon Speedway stood remains vacant.

Drag racing once flourished, with Paradise mesa in National city, San Diego raceway in ramona, and carlsbad raceway. The nation’s best drivers would often make appearances, too.

For those who owned midgets, sprinters, modifieds or stock cars, they could go to the 24,000-seat balboa Stadium, Speedway 117 in chula Vista, or cajon. There was a huge fan base.

For the sports car clan, there were Torrey Pines, miramar and the Del mar Fairgrounds.

Heck, seven drivers who raced at balboa Stadium would go on to win at Indianapolis motor Speedway.

And a young USc student used his Torrey Pines success as a springboard to a world title. That was Phil Hill.

One More for Stewart Another marquee NAScAr

driver will be calling it quits next year.

Tony Stewart plans to join Jeff Gordon outside racing’s pit wall after the 2016 campaign.

Gordon will enter the broadcast booth after this season.

clint boyer will take over Stewart’s No. 14 in 2017. other members of the team are Danica Patrick, Kevin Harvick and Kurt busch.

Stewart agrees he may have

been a thorn in race officials’ sides, when he joked about his checkered past: “There is still the opportunity to get a fine, and there is still the opportu-nity to be put on probation, just like always. Just from a different capacity.”

Stewart and Gordon have enjoyed multiple NAScAr championships. So, historically, they’ve earned a chapter or two in the record books.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.In a saucepan, heat up the cream with the bay

leaves, thyme, garlic, nutmeg and some salt and pepper.While the cream is heating up, butter a casserole

dish. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bay leaves and thyme. Pour the heated cream into a large bowl with the potato slices. mix gently to coat the potatoes. Dust the Parmesan over the potatoes. Season the mix with a little bit of salt and pepper. mix to gently incorpo-rate. Spoon a little bit of the cream into the bottom of the casserole dish. Then spoon the potatoes in.

white Chocolate Holiday Bark

Total Time: 1 hr, 35 min • Prep: 30 minInactive: 1 hr • Cook: 5 min

Yield: About 1 1/2 pounds • Level: Intermediate

INGreDIeNTS1 pound finely chopped white chocolate1 1/2 teaspoons nut or plain oil1/2 cup dried cranberries1 1/4 cups shelled pistachio nuts, toasted and papery

coating peeledeqUIPmeNT: Chocolate thermometer

DIrecTIONSTempering the chocolate for the bark requires a

double boiler. If you don't have a double boiler, impro-vise one by using a saucepan and a stainless steel bowl: Nestle the bowl into the saucepan, allowing a few inches of space to remain between the bottom of the bowl and the bottom of the saucepan. Keep an extra bowl of a similar size on hand to transfer the chocolate for cooling. rest the chocolate thermometer on a towel. Line a baking sheet with foil.

Pour a couple inches of water into the bottom half of the double boiler and heat over medium-low to just below a simmer. Put the chocolate in the top half of the double boiler and set over the hot water. Slowly melt the chocolate, stirring with a heat-resistant rubber spatula. As the chocolate melts, check the temperature periodically to make sure it stays between 82 and 86 degrees F. If it starts to rise above this temperature, quickly transfer the chocolate to the bowl on reserve and stir briskly to reduce heat. return bowl to double boiler to maintain heat between 82 and 86 degrees F.

remove bowl from over the hot water just before all the chocolate melts. Stir vigorously until the choco-late melts completely. check temperature again. Stir

in the oil until evenly blended. chocolate is now tempered and ready to use. Keep within the 82 to 86 degree F range, returning bowl briefly to the double boiler if nec-essary.

Quickly stir the fruit and nuts into the choco-late. Spread chocolate mixture out on the pre-pared baking sheet so it's about 1/2-inch thick and the fruit and nuts are coated. Set bark aside at room temperature to harden. break into angled pieces. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature.

members of Americorps National civilian community corps (Nccc) have been work-ing in Julian at camp Stevens since Nov. 9, helping with tasks such as trail maintenance, gar-dening and fuel reductions. most of their work, which is scheduled to end Dec. 18, is in preparation for the anticipated el Niño season.

“our work at camp Stevens is vital because it is going to build on to the previous tasks that the last Americorps team started,” said Jessica merryman,

one of the 11 members of Green Five group.

Team members say they hope to get to know the community and spend some of their free time providing service to local nonprofit organizations. They are also looking for additional opportunities to serve. n
