House Fire In Pine Hills

Julian, CA.

Sparkling Clear December Nights Ahead

by Bill Carter

I begin by repeating what I have said many times in prior years, December is one of the finest months for amateur astronomers to observe deep sky objects. I will highlight just two of the spectacular deep sky objects you can see in binoculars or in a small telescope this month. The Alpha Persei Cluster, a star cluster in the constellation Perseus, contains approximately fifty dazzling blue-white stars (types O and B stars are giant blue-white stars) only 600 light-years from Earth. This explains why this cluster is roughly the size of three full Moons. To find this cluster we must start at the dominant constellation in the autumn skies, the Great Square of Pegasus. This square appears nearly overhead in December (just slightly west of the zenith) and looks much more like a baseball diamond to a contemporary observer than the “Flying Horse” it is named for. The Alpha Persei Cluster lies 2/3 of the way along an imaginary line from the northeast corner of the Great Square of Pegasus to the brightest star in the northeast -- the star Capella in the constellation Auriga.

The brightest star in the Cluster is Mirfak, which is only slightly less bright than Capella.

That may be a bit of a dream.

But due to its Cuyamaca Mountains location, the holiday time in Julian gets closer to that dream than most spots in Southern California. You’ll feel a nip in the air, sniff wood fires, and maybe catch a glimpse of snow capped mountains surrounding town.

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

Julian's Country Christmas Tree Lighing, 2019 will be Nov. 30th Julian kicks off the holiday season with the annual lighting of the town’s huge living Christmas tree, presented by the Julian Merchants Association. This is a popular event, drawing hundreds of visitors who gather at Pioneer Park to watch the lighting and visit with Santa.

Be in Pioneer Park By 5:30 in order to be sure you do not miss the tree lighting.

Living Nativity At Cider Mill

A living Nativity where shepherds and kings pay homage to the Christ child silently recalls the first Christmas on a different hillside, on the other side of the world, centuries ago.

Court Backs Dissolusion County Moves Forward

by Michael Hart

The final ruling from Judge Trapp on November 15 was not unexpected - The JCFPD, County and LAFCO had followed the correct proceedures, the vote was proper and the Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District should be disolved and the County Fire Authority should move forward to take over Station 56.

The ruling (see below) is what prompted the County to remove the equipment, which had been locked in the station since the volunteers abandoned it back in June.

The ruling does not completely resolve all issues, including the district funds transfered to their attorneys trust fund and when they will be returned.

A hearing on December 4 could settle most of the outstanding issues, the County is to present a judgement fo r the Court to approve.

The current JCFPD board has filed an appeal on the ruling to the California Appealette Court, no date has been established for thatto be heard.

The full text of Judge Trapps ruling: All parties submit(s) on the Court's tentative ruling.

The Court CONFIRMS the tentative ruling as follows: MOTION TO INVALIDATE DISSOLUTION by plaintiffs JulianCuyamaca Fire Protection District and Brian Kramer is DENIED. Request for Judicial Notice is granted.

Defendant's objection to the late filed brief [titled as a Trial Brief in Support of Validation Judgment] by interested parties Lori Foss, Julian Volunteer Fire Company Association and Brian Crouch is overruled.

Plaintiffs seek a determination that the purported dissolution of plaintiff Julian-Cuyamaca Fire Protection District [District] is invalid because it was the product of a void that it cured prior to completion of the dissolution process. The initial decision by the District's governing board to commence dissolution proceeding violated the Brown Act, but was later rescinded. Thus defendant San Diego Local Agency Formation Commission [LAFCO] had no authority to continue with a proceeding that was started illegally and thus its final dissolution order has no effect.

The court notes that it previously determined this issue against the District in a related case, Case No. 37-2018-00020015, Julian Volunteer Fire Company Association v. Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District, although that case is on appeal.

The court has not been persuaded by any new authority or evidence to find in favor of plaintiffs on this same issue now raised in this case.

On April 6, 2019, the District adopted a resolution to cure and correct the alleged Brown Act violations by rescinding actions taken on February 13, 2018, March 13, 2018 and April 10, 2018, including Resolution 2018-03 to dissolve the District. However, the District still has not shown that it complied with the Brown Act by noticing the hearing and posting the agenda for the hearing to cure and correct.

(See, Gov. Code §§ 54954(a), 54952(a)(1), 54960.1(b); Boyle v. City of Redondo Beach (1999) 70 Cal.App.4th 1109, 1117) Once the District adopted the resolution to dissolve the District on April 10, 2018, the next day it submitted to LAFCO an application to dissolve the District and filed the related case to revoke the resolution on April 23, 2018, but did not name either the County of San Diego nor LAFCO. Thereafter on May 15, 2018, the County adopted a resolution to apply to LAFCO to expand the latent powers of County Service Area No. 135 to cover the territory precisely covered by continued on page 7

Alpha Persei Cluster If you return to Capella (after viewing the Alpha Persei Cluster) and sweep your binoculars or telescope directly southward until you are pointing east, you will come to the V-shaped head of the constellation Taurus the Bull. The Hyades star cluster located at this V contains over 130 stars brighter than magnitude 9 (i.e., can be seen in binoculars), but the giant red-orange star nearby, Aldebaran, is not part of the Hyades cluster. The Hyades may be the closest open star cluster to Earth (151 light-years from us), but Aldebaran is only 60 light-years from Earth.

The three planets Jupiter, Venus and Saturn dominate the night skies in early December. Jupiter is only 7 degrees high in the southwest thirty minutes after sunset on December 1st. Jupiter continues to sink lower each night until it disappears during December’s second week.

Venus is located only 8 degrees to the left of Jupiter on December 1st, but Venus climbs higher as December progresses. On December 1st, Saturn is located 11 degrees to the upper left of Venus. Since Saturn is sinking while Venus is rising, Venus and Saturn will pass within 1.8 degrees of each other on December 10th.

There are two meteor showers in December. The Geminids (generally considered the best annual meteor shower) peaks in the early morning hours before sunrise on December 14th. However, the Full Moon arrives only two days earlier so the bright moonlight may reduce the number of meteors you observe. The Ursid meteor shower peaks in the early morning of December 23rd when the Moon will be only a thin crescent. However, the Ursid meteor shower typically only produces about 10 meteors per hour.

Finally, the Winter solstice (the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere) occurs on December 21st.

Eagles Basketball Season Off To A Slow Start

The Julian Eagles opened their 2019-2020 basketball season against Calvary Christian Academy on Tuesday night. After a rough start to open the game with a multitude of turnovers the Eagles were unable to keep the score close in the first half. The Eagles came out in the second half with better defensive play and limited the Royal Knights to half of the points total that they were able to accumulate in the first half. A better rebounding effort helped double their own point total losing with the final score Royal Knights 46 Eagles 17.

Building on this momentum would help carry them into their opening home game versus Bonsall on Thursday night, just falling short of a win Legionnaire 54 Eagles 43 with notable performances by Dakotah Audibert 19 points, Zen Hill 12 points, and Oliver Goeders 8 points.

In a time when some Julian athletic teams for the fall season have been canceled, I encourage the community to come out and support this team. A special thanks to the Audibert family for their generous donation of new uniforms for the team.

*127093*

We are writing in SUPPORT of the 7.7% increase in the Ready to Serve fee and 7.5% increase in water rates proposed by Majestic Pines CSD. We have been with Majestic Pines since Sept. 2012 and have received nothing but the best service. They were helpful and supportive through our several water pipe leak issues between the meter and our house the past few years. After spending just under $10,000 on replacement of the line, we know the cost of maintaining a water system is not cheap. That expense alone gives us more reason to support the fee and rate increases. Please help show SUPPORT of MPCSD and back the increases. The public hearing is at 7 pm, Dec. 18 at the SD Sheriff’s Julian Substation.

WHAT A CHILD LEARNS ABOUT VIOLENCE A CHILD LEARNS FOR LIFE.

A Poem of Thanksgiving

Teach carefully. We can show you how.

Call 877-ACT-WISE for a free brochure or visit www.actagainstviolence.org.

Our lives can seem so complicated, as we rush through each busy day, That we sometimes forget to stop and give thanks as we hurry along our way.

Constant lack of time and money, even though we try our best, Can make us see only our troubles, and not remember how we are blessed.

For we really have so many riches, if we just take the time to see All the treasures that surround us, like the love of our friends and family, Or the wondrous beauty of nature, a display of God's handiwork...

It's there for all to behold and admire, if only we pause to look.

In a time when so many are homeless, give thanks for your humble home.

In a time when so many are lonely, be happy that you're not alone.

Say a prayer for the hungry, as you ask blessing for the food on your table.

Say a prayer for the sick and feeble, as you thank God your body is able.

Our health, our jobs, and those we love... sometimes we may neglect To give thanks for these precious gifts, so, take a moment to reflect On the bountiful treasures bestowed upon us, all of them most dear...

Be grateful on this Thanksgiving Day, and every day of the year.

We look forward to seeing you!

Thanksgiving Food Safety Quiz Before You Gobble

by Gig Conaughton, County of San Diego Communications Office

Check the temperature as you roast your turkey. This one is not quite ready to eat. Safety experts say the internal temperature should be a minimum of 165 °F to destroy bacteria and prevent foodborne illness.

Turkey, mashed potatoes, salad, cranberry sauce, listeria, salmonella, E. coli — wait, what?

That’s right, Thanksgiving — the Super Bowl of cooking for home chefs — is upon us.

And if you’re not already thinking about safe cooking, like “keeping cold foods cold and hot foods hot,” hygiene, and keeping meats and veggies separated, your feast could be crashed by bacteria that could make you, and your family and friends, sick.

For example, you know you need to leave yourself four days to safely thaw a 20-pound turkey, right? (that’s 24 hours for every five pounds of bird) Well, just in case, here’s the County Department of Environmental Health’s annual safe Turkey-day quiz to help you prepare! We’ll start with an easy question, just to see if you’ve been paying attention.

What’s the best way to thaw your turkey?

A. Put it out on the counter, don’t let anyone touch it and wait till the outside is mushy-soft.

B. Run hot water over it until it gets mushy-soft.

C. A large turkey should be defrosted — in the refrigerator — for at least 24 hours for every five pounds it weighs.

D. Let it sit in a pot of water until it gets (wait for it) mushy-soft!

Answer: C, of course. We just went over this a couple of seconds ago. Using the refrigerator to thaw slowly and evenly is the best, safest way to defrost a turkey or any meat. That’s because temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit will slow most bacteria’s ability to multiply. Bacteria can grow exponentially at room temperatures.

Note: The United States Department of Agriculture says that you can also thaw turkeys in cold water. But — and this is important — the water must be cold, under 40 degrees, and should be changed every 30 minutes to keep it cold. The refrigerator’s easier! Here’s more information about thawing turkeys.

Why should you keep raw meats and meat products separated from fruits and vegetables when cutting them up or preparing them?

A. Let’s face it. Meats and fruits and vegetables just don’t like each other. Avoid the food fight.

B. You don’t have to separate them. Paleo caveman diets are all the rage.

C. Meat can make your veggies taste weird. Or veggies can make your meat taste weird. Either way, weird.

D. Because raw meats, meat products and blood can carry bacteria like E. coli and salmonella that can contaminate fruits and vegetables — and make people sick.

Answer: If you said, D, you are correct! Cross-contamination is one of the most common causes of food-borne illness, according to the USDA. That is, the transfer of harmful bacteria from one food, particularly raw meats, poultry and shellfish to other foods. When preparing food, you need to keep raw meats and their juices away from fruits and vegetables and all ready-to-eat foods. If you can, use separate cutting boards for meats and produce. If you can’t, wash cutting boards with hot, soapy water after using them on raw meats and before using them to cut fruits and vegetables!

How often should you wash your hands and cutting boards when preparing food?

A. You don’t have to wash your hands and cutting boards. A few germs will toughen up your immune system! It’s like Nietzsche and Kelly Clarkson said. “That which does not kill us makes us stronger!”

B. Before you start cooking.

C. After you pet the dog, the cat, the gerbil or pick up the kids.

D. If you sneeze, blow your nose or have to run to the restroom.

E. Everything except answer A, but mainly, “OFTEN.” Answer: Definitely E. (Get out of the kitchen if you answered A) You should wash your hands and cutting boards before and after everything in B, C and D. Handwashing is a key part of safe cooking.

Harmful bacteria, from E. coli to salmonella and staphylococcus aureus, as well as viruses, can be removed from people’s hands through proper handwashing. Here are a few other things you should wash your hands after doing: coughing, blowing your nose, using the restroom handling money, eating, drinking, smoking and handling or preparing raw food.

Should you rinse off fruits and vegetables?

A. Nah, they grew in nature. That’s good enough for me.

B. Not if they look clean.

C. The supermarket washes them, right?

D. You should rinse fruits and vegetables with cold water to remove lingering dirt that can carry bacteria.

Answer: Absolutely D. Rinsing with cold water cleans off dirt and other contaminants. But don’t wash them with detergents or soap, even dishwashing soap. You could end up eating residues from those cleaners if they’re absorbed by fruits and vegetables.

What is the Danger Zone? And what does it have to do with Thanksgiving dinner?

A. OK, this is our favorite quiz answer — we’ve used it for years!

The Danger Zone is that song from the ‘80s movie “Top Gun.” You know, “R-i-i-i-de into the danger zooooone!” Has nothing to do with Thanksgiving.

B. It’s the range of temperatures between 40 degrees Fahrenheit and 140 degrees Fahrenheit — the temperatures where bacteria can grow like crazy in foods, doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes.

C. It’s the distance you have to carry all the Thanksgiving food from your kitchen to the table — without dropping everything and ruining the feast!

Answer: As much as we love Top Gun, the correct answer is B! The Danger Zone is the range of temperature between 40 degrees and 140 degrees Fahrenheit that allows bacteria to breed exponentially — not a good thing. If hot foods cool or cold foods heat up enough to enter that zone, your food can become a bacteria-fest. And you can end up getting sick. Keep hot foods safely heated with chafing dishes, preheated steam tables, warming trays, slow cookers and ovens. Place cold foods in containers on ice, or in the fridge. And refrigerate leftovers as soon as you can. Here’s more about the “Danger Zone.” continued on page 13

Julian Arts Guild

Artist Of The Month

The Julian Arts Guild’s Artist of the Month is the late Evelyn Goldschmidt. Her work will show throughout the month of December at the Julian Branch Library on Main Street. Through her art, Goldschmidt combined her love of nature and gardening with her passion for photography and design.

Her formal photo training was at The New School in New York City, where she grew up, as well as many years spent developing both her photographic and darkroom skills. Her work concentrated on macro and black-and-white imagery, but she also enjoyed scenic and animal photography.

But her photographic and artistic goal was to encourage people to view flora and fauna in extraordinary ways that might otherwise be overlooked.

She was founder and owner-manager of the former Creative Custom Lab and Studio in Las Vegas, Nevada. She taught high school before retiring to Julian. A former officer of the Julian Arts Guild, she was also a member of both the Borrego and Ramona art guilds and her art appeared at the 2Create Gallery in Ramona as well as other local galleries. Goldschmidt passed away in September 2018 after a long illness.

The Julian News 5

Still Getting Older

by Kiki Skagen Munshi

A Happy Discovery Every once in while something a visit here or there turns out to be unexpectedly nice. A pleasant surprise. Okay--downright delightful and we hadn’t had any idea. Kind of like people on Antiques Roadshow but in the experience department.

These things don’t happen very often and we treasure them, which was why The Musical Instrument Museum (https://mim.org/ ) in Phoenix was such a treat. Yes, it was said to be nice. Yes, it was said to be special. Okay. We’ve seen a lot of, ahem, “special” and a lot more “nice” in a lot of places and most were, indeed, um, nice. Great for a visit, especially when we could pat ourselves on the back (if we could reach it, an activity which seems to be increasingly difficult) about doing something cultural. But…on this one, happily— very happily--everyone who told us about the MIM was right.

So why was it so great? At the risk of appearing lazy (okay, okay, we know… we’re… never mind, our deadline approacheth) the Museum’s website gives a great capsule description: “MIM displays more than 7,000 instruments collected from around 200 of the world’s countries and territories. Most displays are enhanced by state-of-the-art audio and video technologies that allow guests to see the instruments, hear their sounds, and observe them being played in their original contexts…. They can also see instruments from music icons such as Elvis Presley®, Johnny Cash, Pablo Casals, Buddy Rich, “King” Sunny Adé, Clara Rockmore, Maroon 5, and many more in the Artist Gallery.”

And it’s accurate, but what it doesn’t do is convey how clean and neat and deserty and lovely everything is. The modern stone buildings and cactus courtyard are a pleasure to walk into. The exhibits are stunningly laid out and displayed. The café has hamburgers that are so tall and juicy it’s an embarrassment to eat them and the gift shop is one of the best we’ve seen—this from a denizen of museum gift shops around the world including hours spent in that Fairy Godmother of all giftshops, the one in the Met in New York. And the displays were problematical….because there were so many, each was so interesting, and there just wasn’t enough time.

So one of these days we shall up and go to Innisfree, oops, Phoenix, and there a hut of clay and wattles make, right in the MIM courtyard so we can spend several days perusing all of those exhibits. Don’t miss it if you’re heading that way.

*** My parents came from little, so they made a choice to give a lot: buying turkeys for homeless shelters at Thanksgiving, delivering meals to people in hospices, giving spare change to those asking for it.

— Meghan Markle

On November 10th I became sixty-nine years old. That’s only a year away from seventy and two years older than my mother ever was.

I am amazed at being sixty-nine years old. It just seems an odd number to me. I have a lot of friends who will turn sixty-nine this coming year and I think that’s weird too. These are not people who went to grade school with me.

I have friends at church and around Julian who are in their seventies, eighties and nineties. I think that is amazing too, that people live that long and they are acting just like people who are much younger. In Julian, in the County Library, on Wednesday mornings, we have a SitAnd-Fit program to help people get limber and stay limber. My ninety plus friends all go there.

I have a friend that I thought was my age who owns a business and it turns out that she is eighty-two. It seems like many old people hide their ages and don’t act like young people think they should. Several of my older friends own businesses just to stay out in the public and not to become couch potatoes.

Being older means moving slower. We move slowly so we don’t run into things like walls and counter tops. We move slowly so we don’t lose our balance and fall down when we turn around. We don’t pick our feet up as high as we did when we were younger, so we tend to trip on throw rugs and we trip on anything that sits on the floor when we walk there. We tend to drop things which give us more things to trip over. They just seem to pop out of our hands. I know that with Essential Tremors my hands don’t hold onto small items easily. I’m not complaining, I’m just as careful as I can be. Sometimes older people have Parkinson’s Disease or Essential Tremors. With Essential Tremors, I joke that I can hold a cookie and disintegrate it just by holding it. It isn’t really funny, but without joking I can’t think of a better way to handle the situation.

Some older people take lots of medications. We take pills to keep our cholesterol down. We take pills to keep our blood pressure down.

We take pills to keep our blood sugar down, or sometimes up. We take allergy pills. We take pills to avoid depression. We take pills for specific ailments like restless leg syndrome or heart conditions. For some, our lives are regulated by the pills we take. Some are taken with food, some without. Some are taken with milk and some are taken with meals. Some have to be taken at certain times and others have to be taken a certain amount of time before or after other particular pills.

Getting old can mean slowing down physically, but it doesn’t have to mean slowing down mentally, though some do.

A few years ago I requested a test to see if I was beginning to get Dementia. I often couldn’t remember the words I wanted to say and that frightened me. Once I completed the test, which showed no sign of Dementia, I was told why I have that problem. As a writer, daily working with the public and as a voracious reader, I have so many words in my head that it can be difficult for me to pull out the one I need to say at any given time. This fascinated me. I wonder how many people think they have a mental problem when they simply have lots and lots of words in their heads. I still have problems pulling words out of my head when I want to say something, but now that doesn’t scare me anymore. If you think you have this problem, it’s good to go to a doctor to find out.

Another good reason to go to a doctor is if you think you are losing your hearing. Many people of all adult ages think their hearing has gone bad when actually their ears are full of wax that keeps them from hearing. I know that some people still need hearing aids, but not all.

As we get older, we get more cautious. This is understandable because if we get injured, it takes us longer to heal than it did when we were young.

Young people are often energetic. Old people are often sedentary, meaning they sit around a lot. I know that the medical problems I’ve had the past two plus years have kept me sedentary. Now I’ve decided that it’s time to exercise and build my core strength back up. I’m getting Physical Therapy which my doctor subscribed, so Medicare will pay for some of it. I’m in the beginning, so I do three back exercises and three leg exercises each day. I can do the back exercises while I’m in or on my bed. I do the leg exercises while standing behind and holding a chair to give me good balance. After two days at Alpine Physical Therapy and 4 days of simple exercises at home I can already feel a slight difference. The difference is very slight, however it’s here!

Dizziness and imbalance are well-recognized problems among older people. Dizziness and imbalance can be caused by changes in the balance system, be they of sensory, visual, vestibular, neurologic, and muscular origin. Function of all these components deteriorates with age. As I wrote here, my weakness comes from healing while sitting. Since I plan to continue aging, it’s definitely time to step up the slowing down of my aging process.

Common causes of imbalance include arthritis and orthostatic hypotension, standing upright, however, most ways of walking and balance disorders involve multiple contributing factors.

Chronic health conditions, such as heart disease, dementia and low blood pressure can cause dizziness. Getting up too fast from a sitting or horizontal position can cause dizziness. Poor vision or muscle weakness can also cause problems..

Falls are also the main cause of serious injuries and accidental deaths in older people who appear to be strong and well.

One-third of people over 65 will fall at least once a year. Most falls occur on the flat. That’s where I fell. Falls on the stairs or in the bathroom are relatively rare. Older women tend to fall in the house, older men in the garden.

What causes a person to fall for no reason?

This can be caused by dehydration, ageing circulation, medical conditions such as Parkinson's disease and heart conditions and some medications used to treat high blood pressure. Ask your doctor.

As we get older, our cells begin to break down and some quit working. That’s why many of us have more illnesses than when we were young, and our bodies don’t seem to work as well as they used to work. Take care of yourself and move slowly so you don’t fall.

Falling, as I know myself, can cause a world of other problems.

These are my thoughts

Why Vaping Is Not Quitting Smoking (StatePoint) Ending a tobacco addiction can be tough. While many smokers may think that e-cigarettes are a quit-smoking product, the American Lung Association is reminding people that e-cigarettes are a tobacco product and that switching to vaping is not the same as quitting.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not found any e-cigarette to be safe and effective in helping smokers quit. In one study, only 10.1 percent of the smokers who used e-cigarettes quit smoking after six months, while 26.6 percent of smokers who did not use e-cigarettes quit. Another study found 80 percent of the continued on page 12

November is traditionally about family, friends, food, feasting and abundance. While it may seem almost impossible to maintain healthy habits during the holiday season, the Tufts University Health & Nutrition Letter has come up with some simple steps on ways to enjoy the festivities without putting on weight. Choose healthy habits

this holiday season and do without the regrets later!

Serve Turkey Twice Turkey is a great source of protein that is low in fat, salt and calories. Consider serving turkey at both Thanksgiving and Christmas instead of beef roast or ham, which are higher in fat. Keep in mind that the healthiest part of the turkey is the breast.

Try Whole Grains in Dressing Use whole-wheat bread instead of white in a traditional dressing recipe. Better yet, try brown or wild rice as the main ingredient --

you’ll use less butter. Adding more flavorful veggies like onions, garlic or shallots to the mix increases aroma and flavor with fewer calories.

Roast Your Vegetables According to the newsletter, roasting brings out the natural sweetness in vegetables, from carrots to asparagus to corn.

Eliminating the soaking and cooking in boiling water also keeps nutrients locked in.

What’s for Dessert?

Tufts does not suggest skipping dessert, but offers some ways to make a wise choice. For example, instead of three different pies, have just one favorite and serve it with a fresh fruit salad. To make it more festive, make the fruit into a parfait.

Strawberry and kiwi slices layered with low-fat yogurt make a delicious and decorative finale to any meal.

Drink Fewer Calories The “What America Drinks” study found that Americans consume 22% of total calories in liquid form.

Why not serve water or low-calorie drinks and save the calories for other holiday festivities.

Court Rules

continued from page 1 the District. On July 18, 2018, LAFCO issued a certificate of filing to the District proclaiming the application was -complete. As of that date, the District could not withdraw its application to dissolve. Only LAFCO had the authority to dissolve the District. (See, Gov. Code §§56100(a), 56028, 5635(a)91), 56651, 56658(b)(1) and (f), 56666(a); Southcott v. Julian-Cuyamaca Fire Protection Dist. (2019) 32 Cal. App.5th 1020, 1029-1030) Plaintiffs have not shown there were any errors in this process. As LAFCO apparently complied with statutory requirements in approving the dissolution of the District, the Certification of Completion issued

by LAFCO and the dissolution of the district is valid. Plaintiffs' actions a year after the District voted for dissolution and started the process for dissolution is ineffective for the reasons stated above. The request to find the final dissolution order invalid is denied.

Defendant shall submit a judgment by December 2, 2019. IT IS SO ORDERED. Judge Randa Trapp

5 Ways To Stay Safe During The Dangerous Holiday Driving Season (StatePoint) The holidays can be the happiest time of the year, but unfortunately, they can also be the most dangerous, with more fatal car crashes occurring due to increased travel time, more alcohol use and excessive speed, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

NHTSA predicts that during this Christmas week, from Tuesday, December 24, 2019 at 6 p.m. through Thursday, January 2, 2020 at 5:59 a.m., 799 people will lose their lives nationwide due to car crashes. While it may be uncomfortable to consider these predictions, NHTSA’s report says that analyzing and forecasting fatalities can serve as useful warnings to the public, actually making roads safer.

“No one wants to think about what can go wrong, especially at such a joyful time of year, but as the saying goes, prevention is better than cure,” said Jon Bloom, vice president, personal auto, Erie Insurance. “The good news is that there are specific things that people can do help keep themselves and their families safe this holiday season.”

Erie Insurance offers these five tips for safer holiday driving.

• Keep your car road-ready.

Proper maintenance will help keep your car in shape for whatever road conditions you car’s tire pressure monitoring encounter. In addition to getting system. If you see an alert that regularly scheduled oil changes, tire pressure is low, fill them as make sure your car’s fluids are soon as possible. topped off and that filters, hoses • Be ready for emergencies. and other components are in While maintaining your car can good working order. If they’re reduce your chance of being showing signs of wearing out, stranded along the side of the replace them. road, it could still happen. Keep • Maintain properly inflated an emergency kit in the car with tires. Not maintaining the right a cell phone charger, blanket and tire pressure can lead to flats and first aid kit, along with bottled blowouts, which could cause you water and snacks. Also, check to lose control of your car and with your insurance agent to crash.

Emergency Roadside Service coverage so that if your car does break down, you can call for help.

• Give yourself plenty of time.

With speeding being one of the top causes of car crashes, it’s important to remember that there’s no prize for arriving first.

It’s much better to drive the speed limit -- or even lower, depending on road conditions and build in a few extra minutes to get where you’re going, especially when driving near busy shopping malls

or on holiday travel days when traffic is heavy.

• Stay sober or designate a driver. Celebrating with a holiday toast? Plan ahead and have a designated driver, or use a cab or ride sharing service to get home.

Regardless, never get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking.

While the holidays can be a particularly perilous time to drive, taking precautions can help ensure you, and others on the road, have a safe season.

Report downed power lines immediately to 1-800-411-SDGE. If a power line has fallen to the ground:

• Always assume power lines are live.

• Stay far away and never touch a power line.

• Never touch any person or equipment that comes in contact with a power line.

If a vehicle is involved and you are in it:

• Sit calmly until help arrives.

• Warn others not to touch the vehicle and direct them to call 911.

• If the vehicle is on fire and you must leave it, open the door or window and jump clear without touching the vehicle and the ground at the same time.

Between the Farm and Your Table: The Finance Behind Your Holiday Dinner (NAPS)—When you sit down to a holiday feast this year, you may not be thinking about the global financial markets that helped land the meal on your table. The ingredients in your favorite stuffing, the butter in those mashed potatoes and even the gasoline in the car that got your relatives to your door, all cost something. What goes into determining these prices?

Long before your dinner, each ingredient traveled along a global supply chain that started with producers, continued with processors and ulti-mately ended at the supermarket or the gas station. The prices of commodities like food and oil are impacted by this journey.

It often starts with the farmer and, like all business owners, farmers must turn a profit.

The prices of agricultural futures depend on a number of external factors—and these prices ultimately impact what you pay for your food.

Unpredictable events, such as severe weather, swings in global demand and reductions in available farmland, can negatively impact that profit. To mitigate these risks, farmers and others in the supply chain come to the futures marketplace.

Here, the price of a commodity like corn can be locked in with binding contracts known as futures. So even if bad weather hits or disease hurts livestock

populations, a farmer already knows what the selling price of his product, and can plan for it.

Futures can help prices become more stable, which means consumers see relative consistency when they buy groceries. So, when you made your trip to the grocery store to prepare your holiday table, the futures industry was already in motion.

To learn more, check out Futures Fundamentals at www. futuresfundamentals. org. Here, you can learn more about the who, why and what of futures markets in an accessible and fun way. The site is divided into three sections, each featuring the role of futures as told through stories, interactive infographics, videos and quizzes. Activities first break continued on page 12

Bird Whistle

Bird whistles are still made, but of modern materials. This multicolored bird, a whistle that would whistle, sold for $212.

"I bought a wooden whistle, but it wouldn't whistle" is part of an old children's song that goes on to joke about buying a metal whistle. But a modern metal whistle used by a policeman looks very different from the

The Julian News 9

wooden whistle made centuries ago. And today, if a whistle is wood, it usually is carved into an interesting shape or painted to hide the wood surface.

Very early whistles were made from a hollow reed or bird bones.

By the 17th century, ceramic whistles were made, often in the shape of an owl or other bird. The center of the whistle held water.

Blowing into a hole on its back made the water move and make a sound. There also were wind whistles handmade or molded from clay. Many have been made since the 17th century, but few of the early clay bird whistles remain. Most are not marked, but are decorated with an identifiable regional design.

Today you can find a lot of whistles made of pot metal, celluloid or plastic. An unmarked earthenware bird whistle with colorful paint decoration was sold at a Hess Auction Group auction that featured Pennsylvania wares. The 4-inch-long bird sold

for $212.

*** Q: I'd like information about a Mary Gregory vase I own. It's purple glass with white figures of a girl and boy playing tennis. The vase is cylindrical and is 8 inches tall and 5 inches in diameter. Can you tell me its age and value?

A: Mary Gregory glass was first made about 1870. Similar glass is being made today.

All early Mary Gregory glass was made in Bohemia. Later it was made in several other European countries. The first American glassware with Mary Gregory-type decorations was made by the Westmoreland Glass Company beginning in 1957. These pieces had simpler designs, less enamel paint and more modern shapes. Vases like yours are worth about $300. The tennis game adds value. *** Q: I've seen some interesting "antique" telephones online and was wondering if they work with

modern wiring. I'd like to buy one if I can use it as a phone.

A: It depends on the mechanism and wiring in the phone. We tried hooking up two old phones and couldn't get either of them to ring.

There are sites online that show how to rewire an old phone so it works, and there are companies that will do the work for you. They also have replacement parts. *** CURRENT PRICES Ginger jar, dark green body, 5 country scenes, gold trim, Gerold, West Germany, 10 inches, $25.

® Dear EarthTalk: How are American supermarket chains doing in regard to cutting back on single-use plastics?

-- B. Weston, Jacksonville, FL

Does that corn really have to be wrapped in so much plastic?

Credit: Anna Gregory, FlickrCC. Not very well, if you ask Greenpeace. The activist group compares 20 U.S. grocery chains by their commitments and actions to reduce single-use plastics in its recently released “Shopping for Plastic 2019” report. Each and every chain—even those you would think are leading the charge on reducing plastic—gets a failing score.

Illinois-based ALDI, with 1,900 stores in 36 states, ranks highest on Greenpeace’s list, thanks to its efforts to set a specific plastic reduction target and establish a more comprehensive plastic reduction plan than any of its competitors. That said, ALDI sells mostly its own inhouse versions of products so the company has more control over its entire supply chain than conventional grocery retailers that draw from thousands of different producers. But beyond the product line and its packaging, ALDI has also been more transparent on its plastic practices and Greenpeace gives bonus points for the company’s commitment to implement reuse and refill systems across the entire chain.

That’s about as nice as Greenpeace gets in the report. While second-place finisher Kroger Co. gets kudos for being the only U.S. retailer of its size to phase out single-use plastic checkout bags (by 2025) and for setting plastics recycling goals for its own branded products, Greenpeace chastises the grocery behemoth with more than 2,400 stores in 31 states for not already taking much bolder steps to scale way back on single-use plastic: “These goals might have been totally rad in the 1990s, but given its size and the scale of the plastic pollution crisis in 2019, Kroger must do far more to reduce its plastic footprint.”

Greenpeace didn’t have much nice to say about third place finisher Albertsons, either, and is incensed that the company participates in Hefty’s EnergyBag Program whereby non-recyclable plastics are incinerated or turned back into fossil fuels. “Plastic incineration in any form threatens human health and the climate,” says Greenpeace.

“Albertsons must immediately stop participating in this program.”

Whole Foods’ 11th place finish on the list begs the question of how the chain known for its green and healthy food selection could be so bad on plastics. Greenpeace says the chain has largely focused on recycling initiatives and using more light weight plastics but needs to “up its game to reduce and ultimately end its reliance on singleuse plastics.” Whole Foods’ past groundbreaking efforts in plastics reduction—it was the first large nationwide U.S. retailer to ban singleuse checkout bags as well as plastic straws and then microbeads— aren’t lost on Greenpeace. But given the scale of the plastic pollution crisis, Greenpeace says Whole Foods “needs to do much more.”

While Greenpeace is working hard to pressure these corporations to go above and beyond minimal efforts to reduce single-use plastics, it’s up to individual consumers to really drive the point home by bringing their own reusable shopping bags to the grocery store, staying away from products swaddled in unnecessary amounts of throwaway plastic, and complaining to store managers about all the plastic wrap everywhere.

How to Avoid a Holiday Glitch Here are some additional tips to help avoid a glitch-free holiday:

If you still have questions, ask the friendly staff at the Julian Post Office they can help you with dates, packing supplies and boxes fo all uoir holiday needs.

“Dusty Britches” here along with “Barny Fife”, “Andy”, “Opie”, and “Aunt Bee”. Our next trout plant will be coming from “Mt. Lassen” during the second week of December. It will be 2,000 pounds including “Trophy Trout” and “Lightening Trout” along with the regular 1 to 3 pounders. The Lake Cuyamaca Trout are coming out on a regular basis although their size won’t come close to the trout to be delivered from Mt. Lassen. We are extending an open invitation to one and all who would like to view the new kids on the block. Our eggs arrived on October 4th and the small fingerlings are doing well.

School classes and youth groups are welcome. The small grouping of white pelicans have returned.

They are interesting to watch as they herd small fish that are found along the shoreline…..it’s like synchronized swimming. The daffodil planting group descended on the lake on Tuesday the 19th wearing black trash bags for rain gear…..probably Sally Snypes suggestion. She’s the ring leader you know. Ann Stone and Scott Guyton helped with the food prep. Ann said that the 23 kids mowed through the 48 hot dogs and buns and there was a rush to the bar-b-q when they announced that there were more to eat. At first the youngsters were doubling up. I guess one young lass missed out on the second call…..better be a little faster next time. We discussed

the matter and decided that an additional couple of 10 packs to augment the supply would be justifiable to fill the void. The flower bulbs were planted and a good time was had by all.

Our “Waterfowl” Hunt will be starting up December 1st and going until January 29th .

Every Sunday and Wednesday the locals will be serenaded with an early wake-up call. Jay Blaylock has the organization of the season complete, blinds are positioned, and schedule is final with all full season positions taken. Fishing will be happening during the days of the Waterfowl Hunt, but there will be areas that will be restricted. First of all , no boats during the hunt times…. shore fishing only along the north shore between the dam and Chamber’s Park, then extending down to the handicap dock. No fishing on the west side only because we constantly have to tell folks to move north, then they sneak back…..Ranger Blaylock’s rules and he da man! So “North Shore” only…..thanks in advance for your co-operation.

You can add a couple pair of wool socks, several shoe laces, the handles of my drywall saw and wire splicer, and the right side of my hard hat to my lab’s growing diet. Not to mention the stuffed animals we buy weekly to keep him from eating furniture.

If he even thinks it’s food…….. drooling is immediate. Not like a St. Bernard, but dripping drool occurs at the side of his jowls within minutes as he stares directly at me to get attention while I do my best to look the other way. It’s a game…..and I’m losing.

One of the projects this week is to remove the transfer pumps at “Pumphouse Cove”…..that will be a challenge.

Lots of hub bub going on as it does this time every year what with Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas, and the New Year just around the corner…….happy trails.

“If it is your job to eat a frog, it’s best to eat it first thing in the morning. And if it is your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first” … ”Mark Twain” “”Tight lines and Bent Rods”…

California Commentary

Legislative Report Card Promotes Truth To Protect Taxpayers

by Jon Coupal

In football, defensive coaches tell their players that the best way to avoid missing a tackle is to keep their eye on the ball carrier’s belly button.

The runner may duck, weave, or spin but the belly button is always at the center.

This is a fitting metaphor for the annual Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association legislative scorecard.

Politicians will try all the dance moves they know in an effort to get to the tax-and-spend end zone, but report cards like ours hold them accountable to the people who matter most: the taxpayers who elected them.

In 2019, many taxes were stopped short of the goal line.

Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1 would have lowered the two-thirds vote for bonds and parcel taxes to 55 percent and thus fundamentally altered Proposition 13 in the process.

Had it been approved, it would have resulted in billions of dollars of additional property tax increases, above and beyond the one percent cap established by Proposition 13.

Thankfully, it was fell ten votes short of passage and was therefore defeated.

Other taxes that were tackled in the 2019 session included taxes on handguns and ammunition, water, soda, a sales tax on services, and a severance tax on oil, taxing it as it comes out of the ground.

However, victories in the Capitol are always short-lived.

With tax-and-spend politicians now holding a commanding two-thirds supermajority in both houses of the Legislature, the pressure to give in to new taxes is even greater.

Indeed, taxes on the purchase of a new car battery and a surcharge of up to 80 cents per month on cell phone bills are set to be imposed after legislation was approved this year.

Introduced back in 2007, the report card is meant to draw attention to these taxes and other legislation important to

taxpayers.

HJTA’s 2019 scorecard is based on a list of nine bills and makes it easy to see who is a friend to taxpayers or beholden to the special interests that pervade the state Capitol.

Beyond some of the tax increases listed above, other bills include those that make it easier for local governments to increase sales taxes, as well as eliminating important disclosures regarding bonds and taxes currently required in the ballot label.

Given the policy breadth of the bills listed above, it should come as no surprise that the 2019 scorecard was nothing short of abysmal.

Eighty-two of 120 legislators failed the scorecard while only 25 got a grade of “A.” Of these, 15 legislators received the coveted and difficult to achieve perfect score in 2019: Assemblymembers Bill Brough, Vince Fong, Tom Lackey, Devon Mathis, Melissa Melendez, Jay Obernolte, and Randy Voepel, and state Senators Pat Bates, Ling-Ling Chang, Shannon Grove, Brian Jones, Jim Nielsen, Jeff Stone and Scott Wilk.

Increasingly, party affiliation is not always an indicator of sympathy toward taxpayer issues.

For the first time ever an Assembly Democrat, Cottie Petrie-Norris, received a 100 percent perfect score on our scorecard. Democrat Sharon Quirk-Silva also received an “A” grade.

Conversely, Republican Assemblyman Chad Mayes received a “D.” To view the 2019 Legislative Report Card, and find which representatives should be proud of their grades and which would rather not post it on the fridge, please go to www.hjta.org where the scores can be found under “Hot Topics.” *** Jon Coupal is the president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (HJTA).

Food Safety Quiz

continued from page 3 Is the “five-second rule” real? Can you eat something you’ve dropped on the floor if you pick it up in less than five seconds?

A. Yes. It’s real. Just pick it up quickly and blow on it. Nothing can contaminate your food in less than five seconds.

B. It’s not real. You really shouldn’t eat anything you’ve dropped on floor.

C. I’ve eaten stuff that’s been on the floor a lot longer than five seconds and nothing happened to me.

Answer: B. C’mon! It’s OK for the dog to eat food that’s fallen to the ground, but it’s not safe for people. Truth is, almost any contact is long enough for food to be contaminated by bacteria that can be found on the ground or in your house. According to research conducted this year by Rutgers University, bacteria can transfer from a surface to food in less than a second!

So there you have it. We hope you’re an expert. But if you’re still interested, you can get more information about food safety tips at FoodSafety.gov’s “Food Safety by Types of Food” webpage, or by calling the USDA’s Meat and Poultry hotline at 1-888-674-6854.

Bon apétit! And have a happy and safe holiday! *** Christmas and Thanksgiving are the two days of the year where we know the spurs are going to stay off the boots because the family doesn't have to work.

It's such a nice - and rare - treat!

— Ree Drummond ***

How To Put A Bow On Your Holiday Health Care Conversations

Your family can have happier, healthier holidays for years to come if you take some time to review your health care options.

(NAPS)—With the holidays just around the corner, there will be plenty of time to catch up with family. Beyond sharing cookie recipes and shopping for Black Friday deals, the holidays are also the perfect time to check in with parents (and grandparents) about their health care. Knowing what to ask and say to aging family members can be difficult but it’s important that your loved ones have the protection they need for future medical costs. Here are three tips for having a productive discussion: 1. Frame the conversation. Accepting assistance from children or grandchildren might be difficult for family members who are accustomed to managing their own health care needs. Instead of asking to talk about health care options directly, offer to help navigate online platforms, searches and comparisons. Some older adults are likely more comfortable receiving assistance with technology than health issues.

2. Think beyond what they already have. Since the mere thought of changing health insurance can seem daunting, your family member might tell you that what they already have is, “fine.” But plans change year to year and, as family members age, their needs change too.

Help them understand that reviewing their coverage options doesn’t have to be difficult and that they might benefit from a new plan—and even save money. Case in point: A recent eHealth analysis of people using eHealthMedicare.com to compare Medicare plans found that fewer than one in ten were enrolled in the lowest cost plan for their personal prescription drug regimen. Those who switched to their optimal drug plan stood to save an average of $1,144 per year.

3. Picking a plan is not the last step. We’ve all had it happen. You set up a new gadget for a relative that should improve their life but when you check in a few weeks later, you learn the device has not been touched. Needless to say, you want to avoid this scenario when it comes to your family’s health care. Once they’ve picked out a plan, make sure your family member knows what is included and how to access those services. In other words, check back to make sure they are taking advantage of their coverage.

Open enrollment for 2020 Medicare plans runs from October 15, 2019 and ends in just a few days on December 7, 2019. With a little planning, helping family members select the health care coverage they need doesn’t have to interfere with holiday cheer.

On Friday it was Ms. Tangeman and Mrs. Cirillo’s classes turn to grab some shovels and cover the hill across from the high school. The rain had made the ground very receptive to the new bulbs.

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR CHANGE OF NAME

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A long-sought workplace change could be happening soon.

Consider reworking your ideas and preparing a presentation just in case. A personal relationship takes a new turn.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your persuasiveness doesn't really start to kick in until midweek. By then, you can count on having more supporters in your camp, including some you doubted would ever join you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your workload is still high, but -- good news! -- you should start to see daylight by the week's end. Reserve the weekend for fun and games with friends and loved ones. You deserve it.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Regardless of how frustrating things are, keep that "Crab" under control. A cutting comment you might think is apt right now will leave others hurting for a long time to come.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Be more sensitive to the emotions of loved ones who might feel left out while you're stalking that new opportunity. Be sure to make it up to them this weekend.

A nice surprise could be waiting.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The gregarious Virgo rarely has a problem making new friends. But repairing frayed relationships doesn't come easily.

Still, if it's what you want to do, you'll find a way. Good luck.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A misunderstanding with a partner or spouse needs to be worked out before it turns into something really nasty. Forget about your pride for now and make that first healing move.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Communication dominates the week. Work out any misunderstandings with co-workers. Also get back in touch with old friends and those family members you rarely see.
