By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

The Julian Union Elemen-tary School District welcomed four new

teachers to its staff of out- standing educators for the 2015-16 school year.

Serving at the Julian Elementary School (JES) campus, three of the new hires are homegrown residents who come to the job not only with plenty of experience, but with

a commitment born of years of living in the backcountry and attending the region’s schools. A San Diego State University graduate joins the team at Julian Junior High School, bringing a wealth of experience to that campus’ staff.

After a seven-year stint teach-ing in Nevada, Erin Walker, who grew up in ramona, has returned to San Diego County to teach special education at JES. Walker, who has taught

general education and has a master’s degree in special education with a concentration in teaching autistic students, was offered a position in the ramona Unified School District, but accepted the Julian position because she likes the small-town atmosphere. Her goal is to assist the special education students with individualized accommodations that will

‘Meals on Wheels’ a Welcome Support

It’s been little more than a year since ramona Senior Center started bring-ing its “Meals on Wheels” to town, making deliveries to Community United Methodist Church of Julian.

“our start date was May 5, 2014,” said church pastor, reverend Cindy Arntson. “We started with 13 recipients and currently have 17.”

Arntson says they have had as many as 22 recipients at one time, with a total of 32 individuals receiving meals at some point during the past year.

The program is designed to assist residents 65 and older who may have difficulty obtain-ing food or preparing meals for themselves. Meals are delivered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. on each delivery day, seniors receive one complete hot meal for that day and a complete frozen meal for the following day. recently, they have added meals for Saturday and Sunday when the hot meal is delivered on Friday.

The church works in partnership with the ramona Meals on Wheels program, under the Senior Center’s grant umbrella. The center delivers nutritious, prepared meals to

the church, where volunteer drivers then transport them to recipients. Though funding is primarily through grants, recipients are asked to help

Time to Get ReadyBy Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

Looming threats of wildfire and a statewide drought seemed an impossibil-

ity when Hurricane Dolores dumped more than four inches of rain on the backcountry over 48 hours last month, presenting its own special brand of natural disaster.

With meteorologists predict-ing a record “El Nino” in the not-too-distant future as fires are raging throughout the state, the time is right to take steps to be prepared, whether the risk is wind, fire or rain.

Amber ramirez, a licensed agent with Farmers Insurance,

fielded a lot of calls from residents who suffered damage during the July deluge. Some people had flood coverage, but many did not.

Some mortgage holders don’t require flood insurance in California, so many home-owners are not covered for this disaster. It takes 30 days from the purchase date for flood insurance to take effect, but that period can be waived if your mortgage holder requires this coverage.

ramirez advises checking with your insurance agent before disaster strikes to know your coverage. Consider mak-

ing updates to your insurance when improvements are made to the house.

once that is done, there are other things you can do to minimize risk.

“If you know rain is coming, start preparing,” said ramirez, and let your neighbors know how to reach you if you’ll be out of town. Neighbors helping neighbors is really important in many situations, she said.

Putting a plan in place and discussing that plan with family and friends is the first step in preparing for an emergency.

• Decide how you will get in touch with each other and where to meet in the case of an evacuation or road closure that prevents you

from getting home. • Know how you will

escape your home and what evacuation routes are available to you.

• Agree on an out-of-state contact person and keep that person updated in case cell phones or local communications lines are disabled.

• Have emergency kits in your cars and in your home,

preferably near an exit where they can be quickly grabbed.

• Once heavy rains start, it can be hard to find sand bags, so have them on hand before you need them.

• Keep gas tanks filled and cell phones charged.

• A rainy day fund can help

cover out-of-pocket expenses and deductibles, or bridge the gap until a claim can be processed.

• To minimize potential damage to your home, trim dead wood and weak branches from trees near your home.

• Keep the perimeter cleared of combustible materi-als and keep drains and gutters clear.

• Keep important docu-ments in a waterproof bag, available in camping sections of sporting goods stores.

once a disaster strikes, take precautions to stay safe.

• Follow evacuation recommendations.

• Turn off electricity at the main breaker.

• Turn off gas or propane at the meter or tank.

• Do not enter a building that is surrounded by water.

history Book in the MakingThe Julian Pioneer Museum

is making plans to put together a special book depicting back-country life over the years. The completed book would be available for sale at the museum.

Among the items being sought are special recipes, interesting anecdotes, personal stories and more, from people of all ages, including how new residents were welcomed to town, and the recollections of old-timers and those who no longer live in the area.

“It is going to be a cookbook with helpful hints and short, funny stories,” said Stacy L. Peyakov, Pioneer Museum board member and project chair. “It could be something used to clean the house or kitchen, or a reason they always made a certain recipe — like they only had chickens and eggs.”

Peyakov says the book may be categorized by time period.

“It won’t be a quick type of fundraiser project,” she said. “We’re trying to make it some-thing we can print for years to come.”

Those wishing to participate may email Peyakov at wynola [email protected] or mail to P.o. Box 704, Julian, CA 92036. n

support the program, with a suggested donation of $4 per meal.

Arntson says they have six routes in the Julian area, includ-ing the main part of town, Harrison Park, Wynola/Pine Hills, Shelter Valley, Kentwood and Whispering Pines, with the Shelter Valley route having the most recipients.

It takes between one and two hours, round trip, to make deliveries for each route, depending on the distance and number of recipients, and there

are 30 volunteers who make it happen.

“The volunteers go through food-handlers instruction and an orientation to our program that takes about 90 minutes total,” she said.

Volunteers may sign up for the days and routes they prefer, and deliver as frequently as once a week or a few times a month. They may also serve as substitutes, as needed.

Volunteer Alan Marvin is one of several drivers who have

been with the local program from the start.

“I deliver one morning a week, as most others do,” he said. ”When things were getting started, a friend asked me if I’d be interested. I had one morn-ing a week free and thought, why not do something useful with it? So I said yes.

“I think most drivers find doing this is quite rewarding, and some of the people we serve would probably miss a meal or two each week if not for Meals on Wheels. They are all very thankful.”

Arntson agreed. “over the

last year, we have noticed improvement in the well-being of some of our seniors. They are very appreciative.”

Volcan Mountain Winery Joins Julian’s Wine FamilyBy Bobbi Zane ~ the journal

Friends, winemakers, and wine and food lovers celebrated the grand

opening of a new winery with a festive party featuring food and wine. The occasion marked the arrival of Volcan Mountain Winery on July 11.

Volcan Mountain occupies the site of J. Jenkins Winery on Julian orchards Drive. Jim Jenkins made wine here for many years, but had to sell the business due to health problems. New owners, brothers Jim and Mike Hart, who took over in early July, are second-generation winemaking members of the legendary Hart family, who own the only remaining pioneer winery in Temecula.

Jim Hart has been a winemaker for years and is also known locally as the winemaker at Milagro Farm Vineyards & Winery in ramona. His wines have earned accolades galore at wine competitions. Among the award- winners are Estate Grown rosé of Sangiovese, which earned two best in show honors, and Estate Grown Sauvignon Blanc and Estate Grown Barbera, both awarded gold medals for three consecutive vintages.

Hart is already working to bring more of those awards to Julian.

“We will expand the one-acre vineyard on the site,” he said. “And I’ve already contacted nearby grape-growers.”

The grapes are locally sourced and

will come from San Pasqual, Warner Springs, Pauma Valley, Julian and elsewhere in Southern California. Hart expects the first white wines to be ready by December. Zinfandel, Syrah, Sangiovese and Malbec will take more time.

The winery offers a lovely place to relax, either inside the tasting room or outside in the colorful gardens. Hart is looking forward to holding events, such as small weddings, private parties and other gatherings.

Joining the wine club is a good way

to sample and purchase wines at first release at discounted prices. Members may drop by for complementary tasting at the winery, and take advantage of monthly or quarterly deliveries of newly available wines at a discount. Members also get 20 percent off wine and merchandise, plus invitations to

exclusive pick-up parties and entertain-ment at the winery.

Volcan Mountain Winery at 1255 Julian Orchards Dr. is open for tasting Friday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 760-765-3267 or visit www.volcanmountainwinery.com. n

camp Winacka helipad aids Backcountry Fire-Fighting Efforts

San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and Girl Scouts San Diego announced last

month the completion of a $150,000 helipad at Girl Scouts’ Camp Winacka near Julian. This helipad provides a new strategic landing area for Cal Fire and emergency responder aircraft in a key, high-risk fire area.

The helipad is located 200 yards from the camp’s Upper

Lake, which has become a dipping station for Cal Fire helicopters as a result of restoration work funded by the utility in 2013. With the completion of the helipad, a fire-fighting helicopter can be pre-positioned at the camp and load water directly from the lake, saving precious response time in the event of a back-country wildfire.

Cal Fire also plans to use the camp for logistics training.

“Every second is critical when getting to the scene of a wildfire,” said Cal Fire and San Diego County Fire Chief Tony Mecham. “We thank Girl Scouts San Diego and SDG&E for providing a valuable asset that will help us more quickly reach small wildfires and prevent them from becoming big ones.”

The helipad and lake renovation serve dual purposes. During summer camps and weekend visits, Girl Scouts may fish, canoe and engage in sci-ence, technology, engineering and math activities, such as star-gazing through telescopes and launching water rockets. The helipad also improves the local community’s ability to respond to medical emergencies

involving campers, hikers or area residents.

“We are thrilled that, by partnering with SDG&E to renovate the lake and create the helipad at Camp Winacka, we are contributing to emer-gency response during fire season,” said Girl Scouts San Diego CEo Jo Dee C. Jacob. “These enhancements will also provide valuable program space for thousands of Girl Scouts.”

“Sealing the lake and build-ing a helipad at Camp Winacka greatly improve the region’s fire preparedness,” said John Sowers, vice president of electric distribution operations for SDG&E. “SDG&E is proud to support the safety of the region, and we applaud Girl Scouts San Diego for creating a ‘win-win’ situation that benefits campers, the community and Cal Fire.” n

recent water restrictions due to the drought have required Southern Californians to cut their individual

usage by up to 25 percent.Indoor conservation is vital, of course,

but the area of greatest impact remains outside of the home. on average, more than half of local homeowners’ water usage is allotted to outdoor lawns and gardens. And despite high water usage, many still have dry, brown lawns.

A growing sense of duty to conserve resources, coupled with the continuing need to maintain one’s yard, has prompt-ed residents to consider alternatives to traditional landscaping.

Xeriscaping, a water-wise solution commonly used in dry locales such as Arizona, is one option, using up to two-thirds less water than the standard lawn. residents of dry climates may be accustomed to rock- and mulch-dominant yards and gardens, but many

Californians have different expectations for their homes. And as conservation-conscious as xeriscaped areas may be, they are not as functional or comfort-able as lush and verdant landscapes.

Adjusting to such sparse surround-ings is not likely to be easy for those who prize their yards and regularly use them for relaxation or recreation. The idea of removing lawns and replacing them with dense materials can seem like

taking a step backward.But a local company has found a

way to help homeowners maintain a green lawn.

“We see a growing demand in creat-ing drought-tolerant landscaping,” says ransom Brothers Lumber & Supply Co. co-owner Jimmy Gilchriest. “As a result, ransom Brothers chose to partner with EasyTurf, an industry leader in offering high-quality synthetic turf, made locally in Vista.

Synthetic grass products provide realistic, low-maintenance landscaping options that enable residents to scale back their water usage without having to compromise on appearance and functionality.

“EasyTurf offers a variety of products for large and small landscaping projects, along with temporary solutions for rV, desert and beach needs,” Gilchriest says, adding that it is also a proven solution for animal care facilities nationwide.

“Making a switch to synthetic turf is a big decision. Working with an industry leader gives you the ease of knowing you have a product with superior drain-age that will drastically outperform all other synthetic turf on the market. Some of EasyTurf’s new products look extremely realistic and offer a life expec-tancy of 15 to 20 years, so you are mak-

ing a switch to a product that you will enjoy for years to come.”

Synthetic turf can brighten an out-door space by replacing a dying lawn or can be used in conjunction with xeriscape applications to add variety to a yard or garden. In addition to the potential for aesthetic improvement, removing natural grass and installing synthetic turf can lower monthly water bills by up to 70 percent.

ransom Brothers is stocking smaller rolls of the product in both stores, and larger lengths are available on a special-order basis with a very short lead-time. Installation is also available through the EasyTurf installation network.

Ransom Brothers has stores at 532 B St. and 1441 Main St. in Ramona.Visit www.ransombrothers.com. n

DIRECTIONSAdd the chicken to a large stockpot, cover with

water and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, shred the chicken and set aside. reserve 3 1/3 cups of the broth (1 cup is for the chicken gravy, supplement with boxed stock if you don’t have enough.)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13- by 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In a large saucepan, combine 2 1/3 cups of the reserved broth, the Chicken Gravy, green chiles, onions, garlic, sour cream, cumin, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. remove from the heat.

Spread 1 cup of the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Arrange a layer of 6 tortillas over the mix-ture, and then top with 1 cup shredded chicken and 1/2 cup of the cheddar. repeat this layer three more times, ending with cheese. Spread any remaining mix-ture over the cheese. Make sure all of the tortillas are covered or they will get very hard during baking. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

ChICkEN GRAvyMelt the butter in a

medium saucepan and whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook over medium heat, whisk-ing constantly, until the mixture bubbles and the flour turns light brown in color. Gradually whisk in the stock and milk and continue to stir while cooking over medium heat. When the mixture thickens, after about 5 minutes, whisk in some salt and pepper.Julian Journal is Direct Mailed Every 4 Weeks. 6,000 Total Circulation. Reserve your ad

help them eventually transition to the general education classroom.

“By teaching them ‘learning to learn’ skills, they can be successful in general education,” said Walker.

Amber Cruz, who attend-ed Julian schools herself, begins her career as a Julian Elementary teacher with three years in the classroom under her belt, and two of her children enrolled in the local school district. She will be teaching a fourth-and-fifth-grade combination class and is “elat-ed” to be teaching in her home-town after two years teaching in Borrego Springs.

“Julian Elementary is a great school with wonderful teach-ers,” said Cruz. “I’m lucky to join such an excellent team of pro-fessionals.”

Another Julian Union High School alum, Felicia Hill, has been active in Julian outdoor education and is known around town for her musical talents. She will be teaching the sixth-grade class. Hill also has two children, who are fifth-generation “Julianites,” enrolled in Julian’s public schools. Her familiarity with the backcoun-try environment and the local community services uniquely positions her to identify with her students’ needs.

“Teaching in Julian has been my long-term goal,” said Hill. “I’m very excited to be here!”

Michelle Tellez, the new Julian Junior High science teacher, attended SDSU and is a 13-year veteran in the class-room. Tellez recently partici-pated in SeaPerch and attended roBoSUB, an international underwater vehicle competi-tion. She is eager to expose her students to STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education and job oppor-tunities by bringing great STEM activities to Julian’s students.

Tellez also was drawn to Julian’s small community for the chance to work with and learn about students and their families on a personal level.

“As a teacher, I love it when my students share their lives with me,” said Tellez. “I love hearing about their successes, both in school and outside of school. I am honored to be a part of my students’ lives.”

Maintaining a balanced staff of veteran teachers with vary-ing degrees of experience, along with newer teachers with fresh ideas, makes for an ideal learning environment.

With these new faces on campus, the Julian Union Elementary School District is back to school with a great start. n

Some Stops along the WayBy Johnny McDonald ~ the journal

As a writer for more than 60 years, I have touched bases with some famous folks along the way.

But getting the right answer to interviewers’ questions can be challeng-ing, particularly if there isn’t an even playing field.

Several years ago, I interviewed astro-naut Scott Carpenter at the San Diego Air and Space Museum, and stumbled on the subject of space exploration. After the interview, I apologized, hoping I didn’t ask too many stupid questions.

“You know,” he answered. “Those are the best kind.”

During a press conference at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, when reporters surrounded driver Mario Andretti after he made a qualifying run, a rookie journalist making his first trip to Indy asked: “What’s it like out there?”

The veteran writers shuddered, but the answer proved rewarding. In fact, Indianapolis Star sports editor Bob Collins titled his Andretti book: “What’s It Like out There?”

Bill Muncey, the record-setting

hydroplane racer and businessman, had just moved into his Mt. Helix home when I first visited him. He had left Seattle after losing an election for lieutenant governor.

“Why do you want to interview me?” he asked. “They don’t race hydros here.”

A year later, he sought permission from the City of San Diego to promote a race in Mission Bay. They agreed, as long as he put up the money.

So, he mortgaged his house and promoted the first Bayfair race in 1964.

Interviewers often reached for words when they talked to such people as Dr. Jonas Salk, Ted Williams and NASCAr founder Bill France.

Williams was a pleasant surprise.I stopped him as he was being

pushed in a wheelchair for a baseball news conference at San Diego’s Hall of Champions.

I wanted to talk to him about fishing.He opened up: “Thought you’d

never ask.”You see, Ted thought more of his

being inducted into the fishing hall of fame than the baseball hall.

I met a young player just off the plane from Cuba whose English was quite broken.

So I just called him, “Hey, ballplayer.” Tony Perez went right from the

minor league Padres the end of that year to the Cincinnati reds and into the hall of fame. It’s always nice to remember when.

Another pair were sports car race drivers competing at the old Torrey Pines road course.

one was a quiet fellow named Phil Hill, then a student at USC. The other, in striped coveralls, was Carroll Shelby.

While tinkering with his Ferrari, Hill was open to a few questions. of course, a few years later he was on the national scene after winning the Formula one World Championship.

A weak heart forced Shelby, a more talkative sort, to quit racing and become known worldwide as a car designer.

I met him several times, the last when he was inducted into the San Diego Auto Museum Hall of Fame. You might say affable Shelby filled the room with joy.

Dr. Salk was easy to kid.I asked why they didn’t make the

researchers’ rooms bigger, because much of their equipment was in the hallway.

“Where were you when we decided to build this,” he joked.

With the exception of Muhammad Ali,

whom I listened to before his San Diego fight against Ken Norton, boxers had someone else to handle the questions.

From a struggling boyhood on the streets of St. Louis, boxing champion Archie Moore learned well and was his own press agent. There were several times around a pool table at his San Diego home or his training camp in ramona I received some sage advice about a tough game.

of course, he had a famous manager in his corner — Jack (Doc) Kearns. Now there was a guy with tales galore who also had handled the legendary Jack Dempsey and Mickey Walker.

I recall the time in Hollywood when he was negotiating with Frank Sinatra’s promotional group for a fight with muscular Tony Anthony — Doc was a wheeler-dealer.

I dropped by Bill France’s Daytona Speedway office, and our lengthy conversation covered plans and the past, until his secretary interrupted with, “Mr. France, I’m sorry, if you don’t hurry you’ll miss your flight to Detroit.”

Fortunately, the airport was next door.

Those tidbits only touch the surface of spring training days, dressing rooms, press boxes and garages, while I had the privilege of meeting people who made a difference. n

California is considered the birthplace of the fast food industry.

Ever since Ray Kroc built up the McDonald’s restaurant empire, Americans’ view of food has changed.

Over the years, Californians have developed a social attitude toward just about everything. I call it a ‘Drive-Thru Mentality.’ When we want something, we want it now!

In kitchen remodeling, we see it every day. I have had people walk into my showroom and ask if they can have their new kitchen installed in the next few days!

Your kitchen deserves better. It is a critical factor in how much you enjoy your home.

It makes the trains run on time and provides for the vital needs of your family.

At Kitchen Barn, we provide a more traditional sit-down-restaurant type of service to our clients. It may take a little longer to rustle up your new kitchen, but the process results in better designs, more personalized kitchens, and much more value and functionality you will use every day.

So when you get hungry to update your kitchen, come into our beautiful kitchen showroom, pull up a chair, and let us show you how we can serve you. Take advantage of our friendly and knowledgeable staff and see what a difference service really makes.
