This Saturday - December 14, you have an oppotunity to explore the new Santa Ysabel Nature Center.

The County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation owns and operates Santa Ysabel Preserve, a 6,347-acre span of land that includes some 20 miles of trails for recreation, along with opportunities for habitat protection, enhancement and education. In 2010, The Nature

‘Narrator’ Eric Jones leads you through the show.

Sing Hallelujah - Sunday On Sunday, December 15, the glorious oratorio, the Messiah, composed by Georg Friedrich Handel, will be performed at 7:00 o’clock in the Julian Town Hall. This has been part of our Christmas season each year since 1986!

The Julian Chorus, four professional soloists, including DeLynn Ketcherside, and a string quartet, have performed with us for many years. This will fill the town hall with joyful music.

Please make your plans to join friends and neighbors! Come early for the best seating. There is no admission charge, just passing the basket. After the performance, join us downstairs for good food and conversation. This has been an annual event, supported by the Community United Methodist Church of Julian.

San Diego County Burn Permit Suspension Lifted Effective Friday, December 6th, 2019 at 8:00 AM the burn permit suspension in San Diego County will be lifted. CAL FIRE San Diego Unit Chief Tony Mecham is formally cancelling the burn permit suspension and advises that those possessing current and valid agriculture and residential burn permits can now resume burning on permissible burn days. Agriculture burns must be inspected by CAL FIRE prior to burning, and inspections may be required for residential burns as well. This can be verified by contacting your local CAL FIRE station.

CAL FIRE burn permits will be required for all agriculture or residential burning. Cooler temperatures, higher humidity and the chance of winter weather have helped to begin to diminish the threat of wildfire. Property owners and residents are asked to use caution while conducting debris or agriculture burns, follow all guidelines provided, and maintain control of the fire at all times. Individuals can be held civilly and/or criminally liable for allowing a fire to escape their control and/or burn onto neighboring property.

Residents wishing to burn must verify it is a permissive burn day prior to burning and record their intention to burn by contacting their local CAL FIRE station.

Safe residential pile burning of forest residue by landowners is a crucial tool in reducing fire hazards. State, Federal and Local land management and fire agencies will be utilizing this same window of opportunity to conduct prescribed burns aimed at improving forest health and resiliency on private and public lands.

For more information on burning, visit the CAL FIRE website at www.fire.ca.gov.

Conservancy donated an 84acre parcel to the County for the purpose of constructing a nature center. The parcel is an ideal location; set within an open oak savannah, between mature Engelmann oaks, and facing out to rolling grasslands, the property showcases the beauty of the land, trees, vegetation and wildlife that thrive on site.

Guests can explore interactive and educational exhibits, bound

about on nature play attractions, participate in programs in the amphitheater, travel along 2.5 miles of new trail, and book event space for up to 99 people in the state-of-the-art community room.

The 6,000-square-foot LEED Gold and Zero Net Energy facility also holds a staffed information desk, restrooms, small service kitchen and Wi-Fi indoors, with an EV charger, ADA and general parking on site.

Prescribed Fire Burns Planned At Cuyamaca Rancho State Park The California Department of Parks and Recreation in cooperation with the California Department of Forestry and Fire protection (CAL FIRE) and other agencies are planning to conduct prescribed burns and pile burns in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park between Dec. 16, 2019 and April 30, 2020.

These burns are part of a forest health and recovery program including vegetation management, hazardous fuel load reduction, reforestation, watershed and wildlife habitat improvement, and other ecological benefits. This treatment will enhance the health of the forest by restoring essential nutrients to the soil and reducing the chance of a catastrophic wildfire.

The prescribed burns and pile burns are being planned and coordinated with the San Diego Air Pollution Control District in order to minimize the smoke impacts on surrounding communities. All burning depends on weather and air quality conditions that are favorable for smoke dispersal. If the conditions, such as weather or vegetation are not conducive for burning, the burns will be rescheduled.

Some public trails near the burn area may be closed the day of the burn. Fire suppression equipment will be staged in the vicinity on the days of the prescribed burning. People traveling near the fire burn areas may see smoke from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the day of the burn or may smell smoke as they pass through the area for three to six days after active burning. County officials urge you to take precautions and use common sense to reduce any harmful health effects by limiting outdoor activities.

Prescribed burns produce significantly less smoke than a wildfire does. If you see or smell smoke in your surroundings, officials recommend avoiding strenuous outdoor activity and remaining indoors as much as possible. These precautions are especially important for children, the elderly and people with respiratory and heart conditions. Please use extreme caution while driving near prescribed fire operations due to fire personnel and equipment in the area.

Innovative, entertaining and energy-efficient, the Nature Center is poised to boost recreation opportunity while offering new connections to local history, wildlife, and preservation efforts.

Beginning at 10:30 a.m., attendees of the Santa Ysabel Nature Center Grand Opening event will enjoy site tours, animal encounters, junior ranger activities, live music, artistic displays, kids crafts and games, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony – among other entertainment.

Tentative Schedule: 10:30 a.m. – Donn Bree performs 11 a.m. – Exhibits and attractions open + drinks available for purchase 11:30 a.m. – Formal Presentation 12:10 p.m. – Birds of Prey demonstration + Celia Lawley performs + pie is served 12:30 p.m. – Architectural Tour + Junior Rangers 1 p.m. – Nature Loop Trail Hike Parking: Parking is limited (about 50 spots) and will be available on a first-come, firstserved basis. Equestrian trailers can be parked further down the 79 at our staging area, and take the trail in. All other visitors can park in our overflow lot – located across the street and north of Julian Pie Company. Volunteers will be directing traffic, and free shuttles will be circling to and from the center every 15 minutes, beginning at 10:15 a.m.

The reqular seasonal hours of the Nature Center will be: November. 1 – March 31: Monday to Thursday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Friday to Sunday 9 a.m.

– 5 p.m.

April 1 – October 31: Monday to Thursday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.and Friday – Sunday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The opening of the Nature Center adds another destination for visitors to the back country.

Plus, a opportunity for locals to become more familiar with the biosphere that is right here in our back yard. It has been a long time in planning and a welcome addition.

NOTICE TO READERS

On January 1, 2020 the Julian News will raise the single issue price to $1.00. The reason for this increase is multi facited. The cost of printing the paper has now risen above the single issue price thanks to tarriffs on the paper mills and general economic practices. The cost of postage has also risen, so subscriptions will also be impacted, seeing an increase to $70 per year. Current subscrbers will still receive their weekly editions until their renewal date when they will see the increase.

Michael Hart and Michele Harvey, owners

Red ribbon week bulletin board with natural highs

Team Building exercises Red Ribbon Week has passed, but the lasting impact of the importance to "say no to drugs" and the importance of making healthy choices remains in the minds of the Junior High and Julian Elementary kids. During October 21st-25th, the junior high campus and the elementary campus celebrated Red Ribbon Week to educate and discuss the importance of making healthy choices and staying away from substance abuse and addictions.

The students learned that they have a powerful tool that they can always use and that is their voice - they have the power to say "No" to things that are unhealthy and that can cause them to lose sight of their goals. They learned how addictive vaping, smoking, drinking, social media, and other addictions can be. They learned that tying a red ribbon on the elementary fence meant more than the color of the ribbon, but allowed them to take a pledge to make healthy choices and stay away from addictive behaviors and substances.

They also learned that resilience is a good character trait and that they can learn a lot from their mistakes if they adopt the perspective to "fail forward" and learn from any mistake or set back that they might have. The junior high focused on "Natural Highs" using the NaturalHigh.org

website to help students engage in topics such as commitment, resilience, potential, influences, and setting goals by looking at positive role models such as

Red Ribbon Week door decorations and Spirit Week Bethany Hamilton, Tony Hawk, got to have a voice, talk about and other influential people choices that influence them, through the power of telling and learn some vital skills to their own story. The elementary help them avoid the pitfalls of focused on healthy choices and negative peer pressure and to tied ribbons on the fence. It was be aware when making choices continued on page 12 a powerful week where students

Sultry and swinging Blues is what you get with Cadillac Wreckers.

The swingingest Blues band in the County returns Saturday night for some harmonica infused, true to its roots, blues at Wynola Pizza.

Dane Terry and Dana Duplan bring their Cadillac Wreckers band back to Wynola for an evening of swing, jazz and rhythm-and-blues.

Dana’s signature guitar style is familiar yet unique in the same breath. He’s made a study of Blues guitar legends and applied that knowledge to craft a sound immediately recognizable and all his own.

Dane’s harmonicas are also prominent in the band’s overall sound.

Dane uses the familiar ‘short harp’ or ‘blues harp’ as it’s popularly known, and also plays the button chromatic harmonica - the type usually only played by Jazz or Classical musicians - or Stevie Wonder.

Cadillac Wreckers returm to Wynola Pizza’s Patio, Saturday from 6 to 9.

The Julian News 5

Growing up

by Kiki Skagen Munshi

The Joys Of Automatic Payments There is a reason companies providing ongoing services want customers to register and pay automatically online. Actually, two reasons. There is the one they tout and then there is the hidden, not to mention sneaky, Other Reason.

The touted, public reason is that is saves paper and money to have everything done online. There doesn’t need to be an employee to open an envelope, enter a payment into the system, and send a check on to a bank. This actually makes great sense and it is no wonder companies prefer to do everything electronically.

The other reason…well, if one were suspicious and unpleasant, one would think the companies are sneaky, dishonest and greedy… oh, perish the thought! What cable, newspaper or internet service would raise prices and hope a customer wouldn’t notice!

So it was undoubtedly truly a mistake when Dish Network, which advertises two years without a price hike, added $10 to our bill after six months. An online chat, punctuated by lengthy bouts of Solitaire (Spider, 4 Decks, and Grandmaster level because of the ample opportunity while waiting on phone lines and computers for customer service representatives, thank you) was inconclusive. The poor representative in Timbuktu or wherever, not only didn’t type very fast, she (according to the assumed name) only had canned answers.

Finally she said she would “escalate” the matter up to her manager, bringing new nuance into the English language since escalate is an intransitive verb.

But that’s an unfair distinction since it was probably a young, semieducated American who wrote her script.

So she escalated the matter and so did we, writing DirecTV a note, quoting from their advertising and threatening murder, mayhem and a class action lawsuit which was probably an empty threat as an arbitration clause giving the company complete power over any outcome was undoubtedly written into the original multi-page fine print agreement….and this is a great example of the type of runon sentence the poor Malian (if, indeed, she was from Timbuktu) laboriously typed while trying to sell the idea that it would be a good idea not only to pay the extra $10 per month but even more for ‘silver’ service.

Yeah, right.

The answer from Dish came the next day. There had been a ‘mistake’ and they were rescinding the charge. Yeah, right, again. But we settle back until Next Month. Or we would settle back if Verizon hadn’t tacked an extra $2 on to this month’s bill for no discernible reason. To the battle stations once again!

Here’s to further improvements in the Spider Solitaire score.

How To Choose A Christmas Tree: Tips From Expert Arborist Mark Chisholm (NAPS)—There’s more to decking the halls with just the right Christmas tree than many people realize. Here are seven hints that can help: Select Your Location Before you head to the lot or store to pick out this year’s tree, you must be certain of where you want to place the tree and the space available. Try to avoid spots near heat sources such as radiators, fireplaces, heating vents and even televisions or sun-drenched windows. Also, try to tuck the tree into a low-traffic area to avoid accidental bumping and possible safety issues. Next, you’ll need to measure the space dimensions you have to work with, bearing in mind that a tree stand will add a few extra inches of height, as will a star or angel to finish the top.

Consider a Charitable Tree Lot If you’re like me and look forward to contributing to the spirit of the season while picking a tree, you can look for charitable lots. One I like to shop at donates all of its proceeds to a children’s hospital. Another option would be to get an extra tree and then donate it to a family that can’t afford one or to an organization that will find that tree the right home.

Select the Right Tree for You At the lot you will likely see three or four common varieties of trees.

Some things to consider when choosing are the color, shape and feel of the tree. Some trees are dark green, and others have gray or white shades. There are trees with tight branching patterns and some with more spaces. One thing to remember is that if the tree looks very full while absent of ornaments, it may be difficult to decorate. continued on page 10

A few days ago I sat down with Mike Simser and we talked about growing up in La Mesa. I grew up in the 50s and 60s. I’m not sure, but I think Mike grew up in the 1970s. Back then, La Mesa seemed safe and clean. We were between El Cajon and Lemon Grove. La Mesa had more wealthy people living there than El Cajon or Lemon Grove.

We weren’t wealthy, but I know that I felt safer than I did in the other places, maybe because the wealthy people wouldn’t have allowed it any other way. Lemon Grove was known for drug deals at Winchell’s on Broadway and El Cajon just wasn’t a place we wanted to live in. A lot of yards were junky and since so many people didn’t care about their surroundings, we didn’t feel safe in some areas of El Cajon.

Thirty-five years ago I moved my family to Julian and have never regretted it. For the most part I feel safe and most of this large area is kept clean. Food is easy to come by. We have three grocery stores and a produce stand. We also have two food distribution programs where a person can get free food. Feeding San Diego is normally the second and fourth Wednesday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30 in the western parking lot of the Julian County Library. Feeding San Diego has no qualifications for food recipients. Mountain Manna is at The Julian Methodist Church on the fourth Saturday of each month except for November and December. Mountain Manna is available to anyone who can qualify through proof of lack of income. Because the church pays for the food, they ask that recipients fill out paperwork at the beginning of each year.

When I was in my early forties and went back to college, I learned about Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. Put simply, Maslow wrote that we all have to complete one tier of his pyramid before we are ready to move up the pyramid.

The bottom tier of Maslow’s Pyramid is physiological needs such as air, water, food, clothing, sleep, shelter and reproduction.

His next tier up is all about safety needs. These are employment, personal security, resources, health and property. Going up the pyramid, the third and middle tier is all about love and belonging. It shows us that we need friendship, intimacy, family and a sense of connection.

Once all of those things are achieved, we are ready to experience respect, status, recognition, self-esteem, mental and emotional strength and freedom.

The top of Maslow’s pyramid is about self-actualization, which is the desire to become all that one can be.

We all have needs and most of us can help others in one way or another. Maybe you have too many fruits or vegetables and can share, or maybe you can take someone to a doctor’s appointment who has no other transportation.

When we moved to La Mesa, my mom got a job as the district receptionist for Lemon Grove School District. Back then, the district collected food for the “poor people”. They also collected small Christmas trees that were put in each classroom where the students decorated the trees with their hand made decorations. Since my mom owned a station wagon, it was up to our family to distribute the food and the trees. Though the boxes carried plenty of good food, I still felt sorry for those “poor people” because the trees were leftovers from the Christmas tree lots. They were always about three feet tall and spray painted pink or baby blue. During my childhood we always had a regular live green tree and in my teen years my sister and her boyfriend drove to Julian to buy live trees which we planted in our yard after Christmas. After about twenty years, the three Julian trees had gotten so tall that they cut off any view, so my brother had all of the lower branches cut off and the trees basically had top knots.

However, once again, we could see the view from our La Mesa hill top home all the way to Tijuana.

When I was seven, Mom’s parents moved from Seattle back to San Diego where Mom and her brothers were raised. Each Christmas morning after that, we waited for Grandma and Grandpa to arrive with baskets of gifts for us all. We put them under the tree and ate breakfast before opening gifts. In my home today we carry on that tradition.

My sister drives up from Lakeside and brings gifts for everyone.

Three generations of us eat Christmas breakfast while enjoying each other’s company. Then it’s time to open gifts. My grandchildren carry on another Christmas family tradition by bunching up the wrapping paper and throwing it in the fireplace. All of the paper makes such colorful flames when it burns. Of course when Grandma was in the house we had to carefully save the paper.

When Grandma and Grandpa’s house was sold, I asked if I could have Grandma’s box of wrapping paper. I think my children believed in Santa a lot longer than their friends because at our house, for many years, their gifts were wrapped in paper that they never saw before or after that.

My Mom died in February of 1987. She was so much fun during the holidays. She would make secret telephone calls to tell each of us children what she bought for someone else. She would get so excited that she couldn’t keep it to herself. I loved helping her to decorate her house. She even covered the bathroom Kleenex holders with Christmas wrapping paper. She took pictures off of her walls and replaced them with Christmas decorations. She found a toy train small enough to Choo Choo around one of her round colonial maple tables. She bought a nativity set and my sister took a wooden box and laid it on its side. She drilled a hole in an upper corner and put a blue light in to make the star. Between us we made clothes for each of the figurines and glued them over the existing plaster clothes. We always seemed to have fabric in the house as I do now.

Since Mom died, Christmas hasn’t been a good time for me. I miss her and I miss all of the holiday things that we did together. This year though, with grandkids next door who are eight, nine and ten, I’m enjoying the holiday more. When they have projects that need doing, they always seem to be able to find supplies here, whether Nate needed a shoebox to make a diorama or Aryana needed fabric to make doll clothes. Ronnie, the youngest comes over so Grandpa can show him yo-yo tricks.

Living close to my sons and next door to my youngest three grandchildren makes my life more fun than it has been for many years.

These are my thoughts.

Tips for Families Gifting Kids With Mobile Devices This Holiday Season (StatePoint) Buying children mobile devices this holiday season?

You’re in good company. Fifty-three percent of children own a smartphone by age 11, and 84 percent of teenagers have their own phones, according to Common Sense Media.

While there are many great benefits to being digitally connected at a young age, there are certain issues families should address. Once the dust settles after your child receives their gift, consider these suggestions for safer, more responsible mobile device use: 1) Discuss Privilege and Trust. Have a casual, open-ended chat about the privilege and responsibilities of device ownership. Ask continued on page 8

Sisters Reunited After 72 Years Apart

Decades after they were separated by war, two sisters were reunited by the Red Cross’ Restoring Family Links program.

(NAPS)—Armed conflict, international disasters and migration can mean tragic separation for too many families. But there is hope—and you can play a role.

Who Can Help As part of the world’s largest humanitarian network, Red Cross and Red Crescent teams help reconnect families separated by international crises.

Two sisters experienced this humanitarian effort firsthand. As little girls, Tamara and Lidia were caught up in the Siege of Leningrad— one of the longest and most destructive chapters of World War II. The girls suffered through the death of their mother to starvation and illness, and the loss of their father to German labor camps. They were placed in separate sections of a local orphanage and adopted by different families. Tamara eventually settled in California, Lidia in Finland—never losing hope that she would one day be connected with her beloved sister.

After 72 years of separation, Tamara got a call from the Red Cross Restoring Family Links (RFL) program, telling her Lidia was alive and well—and looking for her. Tamara traveled to Finland and they finally reunited.

“It hurts me that for the longest time I tried to keep my mum in my memory and same thing with my sister,” says Tamara, explaining that memories fade over time.

But hope, luck, and the services of the Red Cross enabled Tamara to finally reunite with her sister. “It is such good work,” she says.

Separated by a Loved One? If you have been separated by an international crisis, you can start a search by: • Contacting a local Red Cross chapter—the critical link in the community to the global Red Cross Red Crescent network; • Calling the American Red Cross’s free national helpline at (844) 782-9441; or • Visiting redcross.org/reconnectingfamilies and filling out the International Reconnecting Families Inquiry Form.

There are three other requirements: 1. Families must have already tried normal channels of communication to reconnect.

2. The family member making the inquiry must be able to provide essential information on the sought person.

3. The family member making the inquiry is a relative who had been in direct contact with the sought person before the crisis occurred.

American Red Cross The Red Cross depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. You can volunteer your time helping reconnect loved ones.

I love cookies all year-round, but I especially love all the wonderful varieties of holiday cookies at Christmastime! Hosting family and friends for a cookie exchange party is a wonderful way to start or continue a holiday tradition. A cookie exchange is a great way to host a party and get a variety of baked goods and some new recipes with the least amount of expense.

This party is a wonderful way to collect the personal stories behind the cookies. Sharing stories also acts as an ice-breaker and a way for guests to get to know each other.

You also can host a cookie “bake and exchange” party. Since everyone is so busy, buying good quality cookie mixes and having the guests come over to stir them up, bake and decorate them can become a party activity.

Here are a few tips for hosting a cookie party exchange: * Invite eight to 12 people for

the best variety of cookies and conversation. I suggest each person bring three to four-dozen cookies, two dozen to exchange and one or two dozen for the sample plate.

Suggest that they wrap each dozen that they are bringing separately. * Avoid duplication of cookies/ recipes by sending out invites a few weeks ahead of time, asking guests to RSVP and tell you about the cookies they plan to bring, and reminding them to bring an empty take-home container. * Ask each guest to bring a copy of their recipe to pass around with a little information about the connection to the cookie. Having a list of the ingredients also ensures that people with food allergies can protect their health. Keep each recipe on its own plate. * Create a separate sample cookie and exchange cookie area -- either ends of a table or on separate small tables -- that provides easy access to the treats from all sides.

Here’s a wonderful recipe for a basic sugar cookie dough that makes three to four dozen cookies.

Use your favorite topping and filling to create your own signature cookie.

BASIC SUGAR COOKIE DOUGH

This cookie dough can be made three days ahead, wrapped tightly and chilled, or frozen for up to three months. The cookies also can be baked (left undecorated) two weeks continued on page 12

One And A Half Centuries Of Defining American Food Traditions (StatePoint) Think back on some of your favorite family meals over the years and it’s likely that Campbell Soup Company played a role during those important moments around the table. An American icon, Campbell is celebrating its 150th anniversary.

From tomato soup and grilled cheese on a cold day to green bean casserole, generations of home cooks have made Campbell food, snacks and recipes part of their daily and holiday food traditions.

Here are some of the most interesting facts about Campbell’s place in American culture: • Campbell Soup Company was founded four years after the Civil War ended in 1869 by a fruit merchant and an icebox manufacturer. By the turn of the century, the company flourished as a result of several innovations -- including Dr. John T. Dorrance’s invention of condensed soup, which made nutritious soup more affordable to millions of Americans at just 10 cents per can.

• Campbell food was served during WWI and WWII, and during the Apollo missions, offering troops and astronauts comfort and a taste of home.

• Campbell’s influence can be seen in American pop culture throughout the years, from Andy Warhol’s iconic paintings of Campbell’s Soup cans to the enduring “M’m! M’m! Good!” jingle to other cultural icons like the Campbell Kids and President Ronald Reagan’s V8 ad.

• The Green Bean Casserole, invented by Campbell employee Dorcas Reilly in 1955, was served at 20 million dinners this past Thanksgiving. During the holiday season, Green Bean Casserole recipes were viewed more than 6 million times on the Campbell’s Kitchen website.

• Campbell’s tomato growers harvest over 1.5 billion pounds

of tomatoes per year. Eighty percent of Campbell’s tomato growers and their families have worked with the company for more than two decades.

• Over the years, the company has grown to include numerous other brands that are staples in American households, among them Pepperidge Farm cookies, Goldfish crackers, Snyder’s of Hanover pretzels, Lance sandwich crackers, V8

beverages and Swanson broths.

Today, 95 percent of U.S. homes have Campbell products in its cupboards and fridges.

For more information, as well as recipes, visit CampbellSoupCompany.com.

Campbell’s history and American history go hand-inhand. A part of American kitchens and culture for generations, its foods reflect the trends and tastes of the country.

I have such a busy schedule for the holidays. This week I made little doughnuts and honey-covered puffs to take to my classmate’s Hanukkah celebration. Next week, one of our teachers is going to tell us about the holiday season of Kwanzaa and some of his traditions.

Then, I’m going to help Forest and Glade decorate their home with greens for Christmas. Chatter will bake cookies, breads and a ..

Buche de Noel – a delicious Christmas log cake – and I’ll help! What are you and your family doing to celebrate the holidays?

Postal canine mascot, Killian Cashew Brennan, is “paws-ing” to share a “ruff” statistic (NAPS)—It’s near the time to celebrate the holidays with family and friends. The United States Postal Service has long been known as a Santa’s helper, and we take this role seriously.

Here are some tips to help keep people, pets and packages safe.

People: Last year, 18,684 Postal Service employees experienced a slip, trip or fall.

Carriers are encouraged by the Postal Service to wear proper footwear, avoid areas of patchy snow or ice, avoid wet leaves and mud or cracked or uneven surfaces.

Postal customers also have safety responsibilities.

Last year, 6,000 Postal Service em­ ployees and 4.5 million Americans were attacked by dogs. Here’s what you can do to help: • If a carrier delivers mail to your door, keep the family dog secured.

• Children and other family members should not take mail directly from carriers in the presence of the family dog, who may perceive the carrier as a threat.

• If a carrier feels threatened by a dog, or if a dog is loose or unleashed, the owner may be asked to pick up mail at a Post Office until the pet has been restrained.

Packages: The Postal Inspection Service is asking for your help to keep your mail and packages safe. Here are a few tips: 1. Don’t leave your delivered mail and packages unattended.

2. Going out of town? Hold your mail at your local Post Office using the USPS Hold Mail service on www.usps.com.

3. Customize the delivery by authorizing the carrier to leave it in a specified location. Visit usps. com, enter the tracking number in Track a Package, and select Delivery Instructions.

4. Secure the shipment using USPS Special Services by requiring a signature at the time of delivery.

5. For your most valuable packages, opt for Registered Mail service, which receives special handling from mailing to

5) Screen Applications for Quality. Make sure all apps installed on your child’s device pass your approval. It’s good practice to have the App Store blocked using a tool like OurPact.

This way, when your child wants to install a new app, you can research it together.

6) Practice What You Preach!

Kids are more likely to respond to actions over words, so make sure that you’re setting a good example. Don’t send emails at the dinner table. Never text and drive. Make eye contact when you talk. Last but not least: always put relationships -- especially with your children -before devices.

For a joyful holiday season, be sure any gift of a digital device is used safely and responsibly by the recipient.

Mermaid Lamp

The mermaid is part of a light fixture made about 1900. It sold for $1,500.

Mermaids and mermen have been "seen" and pictured since the Babylonian era. In

The Julian News 9

past centuries, Greece, Japan, Ireland, Russia and Scotland have believed in local mermaids.

There have been exhibits of mermaid skeletons; the 1837 Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, "The Little Mermaid"; the 1989 Disney movie adaptation of "The Little Mermaid" starring Ariel; and a fake documentary on television in 2012. In the 19th century, mermaids were part beautiful long-haired women and part fish, with a fish tail instead of legs. Collectors look for stories and art about mermaids and other legendary creatures like elves, the Abominable Snowman or the Loch Ness monster.

A hanging lamp from the 19th century with a carved mermaid, dressed in fashionable clothing and a feathered hat, was auctioned recently by Garth's.

She was holding two light fixtures with glass shades. The fixture, suspended on three decorated chains, sold for $1,500. ***

Q: I have inherited my great aunt's silver tea service and tray.

She was married in 1910. The silver has been worn down so much that it's no longer usable and the insides of the coffee and tea urns are black. I tried using Alka-Seltzer to clean the inside, but it didn't do anything. I'd love to have the pieces replated and put back into usable condition, but don't want to lose the details in the process. Is it worth it to have them replated?

A: Replating the silver will not cause it to lose the details, but it is expensive. Before you decide to have the tea service replated, try using silver polish and vigorously rubbing it on. The polish won't clean where there isn't any silver, and it will show what needs to be replated. Look for someone in your area who does silver plating and ask if he or she has sales when prices are marked down. The replater also should be able to clean the inside of the urns.

Q: I found a snow leopard skin in an antique suitcase in my father's attic. The skin probably is around 100 years old, but is in perfect condition. What should I do with it? What is it worth? Who would want it -- a museum or a Russian supermodel?

A: It's too old for the Russian supermodel, but it could sell at an auction. Snow leopard skin rugs sold at auction for $550 to $1,100 plus buyer's premium several years ago. If the skin has dried and is cracking, it will be much less valuable. *** CURRENT PRICES Sandwich glass, dish, Pekinese dog lid, opaque white, 1880, 4 inches, $60.

How To Raise An Independent Child ®

by Christina Tynan-Wood<GreatSchools.org>

Dear EarthTalk: Is it true that lawn chemicals can cause canine cancer, and if so, how can I protect my dog?

-- Bill W., Ithaca, NY

Maybe you shouldn't let your dog run free at the park — or in your neighbor's yard — if carcinogenic chemicals are used on the lawn.

Credit: Brett Sayles, Pexels.

Unfortunately, the answer may very well be yes. A 2012 study published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal, Environmental Research, found that exposure to certain lawn care products, such as the nearly ubiquitous herbicide 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2 4-D for short), increases dogs’ chances of developing Canine Malignant Lymphoma (CML) by 70 percent. When ingested repeatedly, 2 4-D acts as an endocrine disruptor, mutating a dog’s white blood cell count allowing malignant tumor cells to replicate unchecked. While obviously worrisome for dogs and those of us who love them, the implications for people aren’t good either, given the similarities between the onset of CML in canines and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in humans.

A 2013 study in another peer-reviewed journal, Science of the Total Environment, found that “exposure to herbicide-treated lawns has been associated with significantly higher bladder cancer risk in dogs.” Certain breeds of dogs (terriers, beagles, sheep dogs) are at greater risk, but needless to say lots of 2 4-D or other synthetic lawn chemicals like glyphosate (the active ingredient in RoundUp) aren’t good for dogs of any stripe. “A strong justification for the work was that dogs may serve as sentinels for potentially harmful environmental exposures in humans,” report the researchers behind the bladder cancer study.

What can you do to help prevent more dogs (and humans) from getting sick? For starters, avoid using lawn care chemicals around your home. And if you hire or manage someone else to take care of your yard, make sure they are not using 2 4-D, glyphosate or any other potentially hazardous pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. Getting rid of your lawn altogether and replacing it with regionally adapted native plants that don’t need fertilizers or pesticides to thrive is another way to protect dogs from chemicals while saving yourself the trouble of having to mow the lawn.

If you can’t live without a grassy green lawn and can’t bear to just let it go wild, opt for all-natural, organic inputs. For instance, organic compost distributed across your lawn with a shovel in a thin layer can do just as well or better at nourishing your grass as chemical fertilizers. For weed control (beyond good-old hand-pulling), a great all-natural alternative to RoundUp is BurnOut, which uses the power of food-grade vinegar and clove oil instead of glyphosate to eradicate unwanted plants.

As for protecting your dog while out on a walk, steer clear of private lawns, even if you have to leash Fido to keep him out of neighbors’ yards. And the days of letting your dog run free in parks where your municipality may use questionable landscaping chemicals are over now that we know the potential consequences. Fortunately, many enlightened cities and towns have taken steps to rid their publicly accessible lands of such hazardous treatments. But you won’t know unless you ask, so contact your local parks department to find out exactly what they’re spraying. And if you don’t like the answer, rally other dog owners to help get it changed, for dogs’ sake.

Curious how you can raise independent kids without putting them at risk?

See what the experts have to say.

My favorite scene in Finding Nemo is when Marlin (Nemo’s dad) encounters the wise, ancient turtles and their adorable offspring. One of those turtles — Crush, age 150 — has lived long enough to know a few things about being a dad. When his son Squirt, playing, gets accidentally shot out of the current they’re riding, Marlin rushes to rescue him. But Crush holds up a fin to stop him, “Kill the motor, dude. Let us see what Squirt does, flying solo.” Sure enough, Squirt has fun, finds his way back to safety and revels in his own sense of accomplishment. Crush is proud. And Marlin, watching, learns something: his intentions for Nemo are to protect him but his fear is teaching Nemo that he isn’t capable.

“How do you know when they’re ready?” Marlin asks Crush, recognizing his tendency to helicopter parent. “You never really know,” Crush answers, appropriately cryptic. “But when they know, you’ll know. You know?” Because, in this, you have to learn to pay attention and trust your judgment. We all have questions we’d like to ask Crush. But because he’s an animated character in a children’s movie, I asked some of the experts who offered me advice for Is that love or fear? instead.

Be An Island The first step, says Dr. Robert Epstein, senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology and the former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today, “Is to fight against this trend.” Like Marlin, many parents don’t let their kids play outside, walk to school, ride their bikes in their own neighborhood, go to the playground alone, or do many things that made most of us adults confident and capable. Not letting kids do anything on their own sends the message that we think they can’t do it — even if we are just trying to protect them. And this is dangerous for their mental health.

“There are things you can do,” he says. Create a culture within your own family that sends the message that whatever the rest of the world may say or do, you believe your kids are competent. “Even if you have to think in terms of your family as a desert island, where you live by your own rules.”

Ask The Children In fact, why not start by letting the kids decide how to get this going?

“Let your children tell you one thing they think they are ready to do,” suggests Lenore Skenazy, author of Free-Range Kids: How to Raise Safe, Self-Reliant Children (Without Going Nuts with Worry). “Walk to school, ride their bike to the library, or make dinner — something they think they can do. Then, think about whether you might be willing to let them try it just once.” This is exactly what schools doing the “Free-Range Kids Project” propose to parents, she explains. And the results are fantastic. Skenazy says that parents who filled out preproject surveys admit they are “very anxious” about doing it. But they overcome their anxiety and let the kids do the project and end up thrilled when their kids — like Squirt — come home happy and proud.

“That’s because when parents see their kids as blossoming young men and women, instead of needy bundles of vulnerability, it changes them. Both generations are thrilled.”

Teach Independence “It makes no sense to say a kid is ready to perform some independence skill by a certain age,” says Mike Lanza, author of Playborhood. It all depends on the kid and if you are teaching them to be independent. Lanza let his son start small — with just a threeblock range at age 5 — and work up to being able to ride his bike to local stores, make purchases, meet up with his friends, handle his own transportation to friends’ houses, organize his own play dates, and get himself home in time for dinner by age 10. “Parents should be teaching kids independence skills all along, not just wait for some magic age before they can walk across the street or walk to school alone.”

California Commentary

Good News, Bad News About California A son once told his father that he had both good news and bad news and asked his dad which he would like first. The father said, “Give me the good news first.” So the son says, “The good news is that the air bags in your car work perfectly.”

California is a state with both good news and bad news. The good news is that we remain an economic powerhouse with the world’s fifth largest economy, the Bay Area remains the epicenter of venture capital, we have a diverse population, great climate and recreational opportunities that are unparalleled.

Yet despite all this good news, California still feels like a state in decline. High taxes, heavy regulations, business flight, crumbling infrastructure, a housing crisis and seemingly insurmountable problems with our vast homeless population are the issues that confront us every day in the headlines.

Those who point out what is wrong with California are criticized by our political leaders as being “declinists” who are invested in California’s failure.

But that’s not true. Most would like nothing more than to see this state succeed and to have our elected representatives pursue policies that would lead to that success.

Much of the discussion about what is good or bad about California is anecdotal. For example, we all know friends or family members who have moved out of California to escape its high cost of living. And every day we hear about another company, either large or small, which has pulled up stakes because it can no longer tolerate California’s anti-business environment.

John Adams famously said that “facts are stubborn things.”

So, when it comes to assessing California as either a shining example for the rest of the world to follow or as a potentially failed state, it helps to look at hard numbers.

The exodus from California by citizens and businesses is both undeniable and measurable.

Earlier this month, a consulting firm that tracks business locations, Spectrum Location Solutions, issued new research estimating that about 660 California companies moved 765 facilities out of state in 2018 and thus far into 2019.

This represents a significant acceleration of business flight

by Jon Coupal

that began two decades ago.

The stories we hear about citizens moving to Texas, Florida, Nevada and Arizona are not just anecdotal. According to U.S. Census figures, net domestic outmigration has exceeded over one million people in less than a decade.

Progressive elected officials, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, like to crow about the state’s low unemployment numbers and attribute them to the success of their political agenda. But again, let’s look at some hard numbers.

It is absolutely true that unemployment in California is near a historic low at 3.9 percent.

The Employment Development Department reported preliminary, seasonally adjusted numbers for October showing total employment was up 50,000 from September, while the number of unemployed was down 9,200.

But, as noted by the California Business Roundtable’s Center for Jobs and the Economy (CCJE), “California slipped slightly to the 17th highest unemployment rate among the states.”

Judging California in terms relative to other states, quite frankly, we don’t look so good.

An unemployment rate that even at 3.9 percent is higher than the national average strongly suggests that the policy choices at the national level are lifting California, not the other way around.

More bad news is reflected in our labor participation rate.

Again, as reported by CCJE, “the state continues to experience lower than average participation rates in spite of having a relatively younger population than the rest of the U.S. For the 12 months ending October 2019, the seasonally adjusted data shows the California labor force shrank by 57,400 workers (-0.3% growth) compared to the rest of the U.S. gain of 1.7 million (1.2%).”

And the real kicker is in job creation where California ranks dead last among 50 states. As stated by CCJE, “In another sign of the economy’s slowing, the total number of persons employed (seasonally adjusted) over the 12 months ending in October again shrank, by 24,000. California dropped back to the 50th highest rank, with Texas leading with an additional 220,500 persons employed over this period, and Florida in second place with a gain of 190,100.”

Those of us who look at these hard numbers with alarm are not gleeful at all. We would simply prefer our elected representative to start adopting a more protaxpayer, pro-business agenda.

And if not that, at least stop inflicting damage with even more foolish laws and regulations. *** Jon Coupal is the president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (HJTA).

You can use the roll-and-cutout cookies and sprinkle sugar, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, chopped candy canes, etc. on top. Use the slice-andbake cookie variation to make sandwich cookies using Nutella, nut butters or jams as a filling. Or you can use a different topping or sandwich filling for each dozen.

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature 1 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract In a medium bowl, whisk flour, salt and baking soda together. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until well-combined and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat until just combined. Reduce speed to low and gradually blend in the flour mixture; mix until just combined.

For roll-and-cut cookies: 1. Form dough into two equalsized balls and flatten into discs.

Wrap both in plastic and chill at least 1 hour.

2. Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat to 350 F. 3. Prepare a well-floured surface and a wellfloured rolling pin to help keep the dough from sticking. Working with one disc at a time, roll dough to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out as many cookies as possible with cookie cutters (if dough becomes too soft, chill until firm). Arrange

Decemeber 11, 2019 cookies 1 1/2 inches apart on two ungreased baking sheets and chill 15 minutes. Gather scraps, form into a small disc, and chill until firm.

4. Bake cookies until golden brown at edges (rotating baking sheets and switching position on racks halfway through), 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer to cooling racks to cool completely.

5. Roll out the second disc of dough and scraps (reroll scraps only once) and bake on cooled baking sheets. Transfer to racks to cool completely. Decorate, if desired.

For slice-and-bake cookies: 1. Halve dough and form into two logs, 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

Wrap logs in plastic and roll to form a more uniform round shape. Chill at least 2 hours.

2. Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat to 350 F. 3.

Slice cookies into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and arrange 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake cookies until golden brown at edges (rotating baking sheets and switching position on racks halfway through), 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer to cooling racks to cool completely; decorate, if desired. ***

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) There could be an unexpected change in plans for your upcoming holiday travels.

But keep in mind that a little flexibility goes a long way in resolving any disappointments.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A new relationship might not be responding quite as quickly as you'd hoped. Could you be expecting too much too soon?

Try to ease up and let things happen at their own pace.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) As we approach the frenetic pace of pre-holiday planning, take time out now to reconnect with the wonderful people who share your life, especially the one who also shares your dreams.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A misunderstanding should be resolved before you get caught up in the flurry of holiday preparations. Set your pride aside and deal with it, regardless of who might have hurt whom first.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Being told that a colleague might have been trying to undercut your effectiveness might or might not be true. Get all the facts before you even think about acting on this so-called information.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) It's a good idea to start your holiday preparation plans early in order to avoid a time crunch if an unresolved workplace situation causes a problem. That old friend might have some welcome news.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A family member's actions continue to surprise you, but this time with positive results. Could be your wise counsel finally got through. It's like having an early holiday gift, isn't it?

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE FOR CHANGE OF NAME

IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF: JADAN TARIQ WASHINGTON FOR CHANGE OF NAME

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your reluctance to act in a current situation could be traced to your inner self advising you to take more time to study its complexities before you attempt to deal with it. Good luck.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Soothing hurt feelings before they can ignite an angry outburst is the wise thing to do. And, of course, when it comes to doing the "wisdom thing," you do it so well.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Budget your time so that you can handle both your workplace duties and your personal holiday planning -including travel arrangements -without burning out on either end.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might find that you still need to firm up one or two of those still-outstanding decisions so that you finally can move forward as you had planned. Weigh the facts, then act.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You usually don't carry grudges, but you might feel this is one time when you're justified in doing so. But aren't you spending too much energy holding onto it? Let it go and move on.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of using your quiet strength to persuade people to follow their better instincts and do the right thing.

developmental psychologist and research professor at Boston College and the author of Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life. The world you live in affects your options and will react to your choices. And telling kids to go outside and play is not as simple as it once was. “There are no children out there to play with,” he says. “It was a child’s world in the ’50s.” But that has changed since. When our parents said to go out and play, there was likely a child’s world to play in. “That’s because there were playground supervisors and other services. So kids could go to the park alone.

They could get equipment from that adult, ask questions. But towns don’t do that anymore.” You can change that though. Make an effort to create a neighborhood that encourages independence. Get together with other parents to pool funds to pay a retired person to supervise the playground after school, or open the school up for free play. “You could just have one teacher and a couple of teenagers after school,” says Gray. “It would solve a lot of problems.”
