Summer offers abundant opportunities to fine-tune your workout regime, suggests Andrej Dominguez, the personal trainer at Julian Fitness. Dominguez, who started working at the Fitness Center in 2013, has a big bag of exercise routines that complement the workouts you are already doing…or they can take you in a new direction. Dominguez, who has lived in Julian all his life, graduated from Julian High School before he earned a certification for personal training in nutrition from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. He considers himself the Andrej Dominguez helps Carey “motivator in chief” for his Raffetto with a stretch clientele at the fitness center, where he teaches workout techniques that address challenges you might have in the gym. He starts out with an assessment of clients’ goals (lose weight or build muscular strength). “Usually people need help with muscles, balance, and posture,” he says. So, he watches how you go through a few exercises to determine the what will help you. Next he creates a routine for you that might be quite different from the one you are currently using. “I work to improve fundamental movements such as getting out of a chair, sliding off a bed, showering, and resolve balance issues. All this is with the goal of helping people avoid injuries and accidents and in the case of active young people to avoid surgery.” So back to fine tuning your fitness program. Dominguez suggests that summer is the ideal time to go outside and “take a vacation from your machines by walking…maybe hiking on one of Julian’s lovely trails. Walking is beneficial in many ways including the new people you meet along the way.” If you have been dieting to lose weight, “the best way is to enjoy every bite” and watch portions while you are picnicking in the park. Indeed, if you are looking for weight loss, nutrition counseling is valuable. Dominguez recalls a client “who weighed 205 pounds and wanted to slim down. After training at the gym four days a week for a three months and adjusting his diet to get the highest efficient from the calories he was consuming he weighed in at 175.” Sessions with Dominguez are usually one hour, two or three times a week. You can consider them your regular fitness session or combine the two. Nutrition counseling is part of the package. He has some tasty and nutrient filled suggestions such as strawberries at 50 calories and 2 tablespoons of guacamole at about 50 calories a cup for each. If you want to add some sessions with Dominguez, visit him at Julian Fitness to set up an appointment. He can create a program that fulfills your needs and is fun. Contact him at the Fitness Center, 2216 Main Street or 760-765-1576.

On The The Road To Restoration
by Kiki Skagen Munshi
David Lewis, Julian Pioneer Museum; Conservator Alexis Miller from Balboa Art Conservation Center,Bette Rikansrud, Julian Arts Guild, Dick Hobson, Julian Historical Society Many of the older residents in Julian remember when paintings of local landscapes hung in the Little Theater of Julian Union High School. Few knew why they were there and all had graduated long before the art work was taken down while the space was being remodeled. Thanks to the Julian Historical Society and the Julian Arts Guild, however, they will hang there once again and their history known. During the Great Depression the largest program of the New Deal, meant to help stimulate the economy and give assistance, was the Works Projects Administration (WPA). Under its auspices people were hired to do public works including the construction of buildings, roads, bridges and parks, many of which still benefit us today, but the WPA also commissioned writers and artists to do less solid public projects. One of the projects under this section of the WPA was initiated by Ray Redding, then Superintendent of JUHS, in 1940. It was to commission ten paintings that represented the school district, at that time larger than the state of Rhode Island. The high school district stretched from pines to palms or, more specifically, Oak Grove to Borrego and south through Cuyamaca. Norman H. Yeckley, an artist who had been born in Arizona but was resident in Southern California, was commissioned to represent this diverse landscape through a series of ten paintings. The senior class paid for the materials—oil paints, canvases, brushes—as their class gift and
Yeckley was paid by the WPA. Yeckley did ten paintings, two ‘artistic representations’ of the District—a matching pair of a palm and a pine—and eight of scenes from the area. There is a view from Inspiration Point, a picture of Warner Springs, one of Lake Cuyamaca, one of Palm Canyon…most are still recognizable to those who know the area. After the paintings were removed from the Little Theater they knocked around until Dick Hobson, Eileen Tellam and others of the Julian Historical Society found them and thought about having them restored. The quote for the restoration was enormous…beyond the resources of the Historical Society and probably coming to more than the paintings would be worth. The paintings went back into storage until David Lewis called the Julian Arts Guild with a request to see if something could be done. JAG contacted the Balboa Art Conservation Center (BACC) and, in consultation with Conservator Alexis Miller, decided the task could be completed in more manageable steps. The first step—evaluation of the paintings—was done on Thursday, July 8 at the high school after Alexis met with an ad hoc committee comprised of David Lewis, Dick Hobson, Jane Barnes, Bettie Rikansrud and Kiki Munshi. They were pronounced to be in amazingly good condition in spite of their age and sometimes difficult history; only one will need conservation to ensure that it doesn’t deteriorate further. The

others need cleaning and, in some cases, a bit of touching up as well as proper backings and hanging. Thus, the first step will be backing and readying all except the one painting-at-risk to be rehung in the Little Theater. The next will be to stabilize the painting of Lake Henshaw and it will be followed by cleaning and minor repairs to the other paintings. The initial evaluation was jointly financed by donations from the Julian Historical Society and the Julian Arts Guild. The next steps will be to find funding for backing and hanging all the paintings, then for conservation of each individual work. It is a project worthy of this community. In addition to the visit by the BACC, the paintings generated enough excitement in the Federal Government (which technically owns them; they are on indefinite loan to the high school) that a Special Agent from the GSA Office of the Inspector General came to view and catalog them in early June. Christine McKinnon was received by a group of JUHS graduates who remembered seeing the paintings in the Little Theater and knew Ray Redding personally as ‘their’ Superintendent. Dick Hobson provided a history of the paintings while others chimed in with their own personal memories. Ms. McKinnon clearly had not encountered a community with a historical memory like this and was impressed, both by the group and by its concern for ‘our’ paintings. The report was positive and, of course, the paintings will remain at the High School where they belong.

Increased Funding Needed for National Parks Improvements, Say Experts (StatePoint) Local roads, bridges, and other transit are integral parts of the national park experience. However, parks and their transportation infrastructure are facing a mounting financial challenge, say experts. Under the current law, the National Park Service is guaranteed $240 million per year for transportation projects through the Federal Highway Trust Fund, which advocates say is only one quarter of the amount needed annually to guarantee continued on page 7
After The Parade - A Train Wreck The project to replace and remove the high voltage transmission lines between Wynola and Julian has reached a new phase. Many of the pole are now half way down as the new underground lines are active. Those driving have had to tolerate delays (albeit short) in their mid day trips up and down
the hill. Most of the wooden poles have been either removed or replaced with steel poles and some of the wiring is now subterranean. The telephone service is still above ground and has become more visible with the removal of the power lines in the area. The delays should be over in the next couple of weeks.
Right after the 4th of July Parade, many still on Main Street were made to jump out of the way of speeding emergency vehicles as they made their way through town and back to the hill behind the library (where 2nd Street
meets Cape Horn) because of an unfortunate accident involving the little train that had been in the parade. Attempting to come down the hill the train and it’s trailers got out of control, cauing it to flip and
eject a number of passengers. Paramedics and firefighters treated eight patients, 4 being released immeadiately, one who needed no aid and the other three being transported to Palomar Hospital. All injuries minor to
moderate, non life threatening. CHP investigating cause of the accident. A number of parked cars appeared to have sustained damage as did the train itself. photos courtesy Copeland family
