Julian Union High School Fall Sports Report

By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

J

ulian Union High School student athletes had a busy fall season, with five teams participating in competitive sports against like-sized schools within San Diego County. Boys and girls cross country, girls volleyball, cheer and football all provided excellent opportunities for students to hone athletic skills, learn teamwork and keep up with their studies, with many achieving honor-roll status. Students must be organized, efficient and proactive to manage competitive sports and classwork. In addition to practicing a couple of hours every day, the one- to 1 ½-hour travel time to and from away games demands that students be excused from classes and return home late into the evening on game days, requiring them to make up missed classwork and its accompanying homework on their own time.

girls the importance of making a good impression as they perform among peers in public. Through perseverance and dedication, the girls mastered difficult stunts, including the half-hold, full-hold, basket-toss and the half-one-man, for the strongest stunting performance by the team in recent years. “I’m so proud of the girls this year,” said Sinclair. “They pushed through fear, falls and wrist pain to make the stunts sharper, tighter and higher!” Exceptional performances by Lorena Silva, Caitlin Sanders and rookie Veronica Lopez kept the momentum of spirit and skill going until the very end of the season. Silva and Sanders found their voices this year, tying for loudest cheerleader. The cheer team is hoping to attend camps this summer and participate in competitions next year.

Football Although a tough year for the Eagles Football team, with a 2-8 overall record for the season and just one win out of five Citrus League matches, Coach Tim White believes that the young team has the potential and the drive to build on experience gained this year to vie for a stronger finish next year,

the lights went out twice. “The team learned to handle and overcome adversity,” said White. An outstanding performance by senior and team captain Daniel Streamer — with 12 touchdowns, 72 tackles and an interception returned for a TD — set the bar for next year’s team.

Volleyball Lady Eagles Volleyball, the only sport at JUHS to field both varsity and junior varsity teams, won half of their games overall and for the league, with a 6-12 and 2-4 record, respectively, in games that demonstrated significant accomplishment as well as individual and collective improvement that bodes well for the team’s future. Strong players with solid performances set the tone for the team. Senior Chelsea Huggins led the varsity squad with 23 service aces and crushed the ball with 16 kills during Citrus League matchups. Huggins also made the first team All-League as middle blocker and hitter, while lead setter Laura Rose Pawlicki, also a senior, made second team AllLeague. Freshman Kyla Blanco’s overpowering serving abilities earned her a spot on the second team All-League, as well. Coach Theresa Gregor and

ProFlame Delivers Big Check to Julian Elementary By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

A

team from ProFlame of Ramona and Santa Ysabel visited Julian Elementary School during an awards ceremony last month to deliver

a pretty big check as part of the School Days Program at its parent company AmeriGas, a nationwide distributer of propane. The school received a whopping $475.02, just for

collecting receipts from AmeriGas customers, to be used to benefit students at the local school. ProFlame district manager Rich Hadsell promised to come back with an even bigger check next time, if the school continues to collect receipts and send them in to the local office in Santa Ysabel. Hadsell explained the program to those present, so families, neighbors and friends of the school can help support the campaign to get those receipts collected. At the bottom of every AmeriGas bill is a receipt detailing how many gallons of propane were consumed during that billing cycle. AmeriGas customers can help schools raise money by clipping the receipt and sending it to a school registered with the School Days Program. When the school is ready to receive a check, they then submit the collected receipts to ProFlame, who in turn will request a check from AmeriGas in the amount of $.02 for every gallon listed on those receipts, up to $2,000 per school year. The funds can be used for whatever the school needs. There is no cost to the school or the propane customer to participate in the program, other than to collect and submit the receipts.

Photo by Ann Reilly Cole

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

advantage of this opportunity,” said Tiffaney McCune, growth champion at the Santa Ysabel ProFlame office, who was excited to be giving the money to the school. “This is free money.” Principal Scot Copeland accepted the check on behalf of the school, and is looking to enhance classroom resources with the funds by purchasing student computers or putting the funds toward a smart board to increase teacher effectiveness. For information, call ProFlame at 760-765-0130. n

This last edit will still likely need some tweaking by selecting the scenes that best tell the story and eliminating any scenes that don’t move the narrative along. Once that is done, the film is ready for color correcting, the next step in its journey. The aim in this stage of the project is to adjust the footage for optimal exposure and balance of light. A tedious process, color correcting employs the artist’s eye and the computer’s analytical power to adjust the color temperature of each clip, which in turn creates the desired effect for the scene. Once the visuals are done, the film goes to the composer, who will “score” the movie with music to enhance the story-

telling. The film’s writer and executive producer Lisa Bruhn is working on acquiring rights to music by San Diego-area bands, in addition to collaborating with a composer to create original music for the soundtrack, including a song that she wrote specifically for the film’s co-star Karenssa LeGear. All of this is for naught, however, unless the film is seen by audiences. To make that happen, another team

people to sell, distribute and strategically screen the film is critical to its ultimate success. To accomplish this, Ross and Bruhn hired Emmy Awardwinner Michael Towe to edit three scenes, which became part of an electronic press kit that Bruhn presented at the American Film Market in Los Angeles. Initial interest at the AFM provided Bruhn with a list of potential sales agents and film catalogues that could be a good fit for the project.

fall and winter due to strong El Niño conditions in the Pacific Ocean. Mountain community residents got a preview with recent storms. More than 100 first responders and other local officials gathered at the County Office of Emergency Services for a briefing on upcoming winter weather forecasts and ideas on how to prepare. This included the National Weather Service, the County’s Department of Public Works, Office of Emergency Services, California Department of Water Resources, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, San Diego FireRescue, County Water Authority and the National Resources Conservation Service.

flow downhill, so to prevent erosion that could damage a home or building, residents are urged to consider using mulch, terracing slopes or planting a variety of groundcover or shrubs. Hake said he remembers the last El Niño, when there were severe mudslides and roads were damaged. “Neighbors kept an eye on this,” he said. “It’s just about neighbors helping neighbor.” Hake is always recruiting. Currently, he has a class of 15, which includes a few from Ramona. “Each area has a team leader to conduct search and rescue.” Hake said. “Ham radio operators will also be pressed into service from a new communications center.” The thunderstorm that hit the county a few weeks ago might have served notice as to what’s to come. n

Authorities Warn of IRS Phone and Email Scams

“If the conditions continue as observed so far, this could be the strongest El Niño season on record,” reported Alex Tardy, meteorologist manager for the National Weather Service. “This season may not necessarily bring bigger storms, but more frequent storms. And the wet conditions are also expected not only in January, February and March, but into April. “Still, because we are so short of rainfall — 27 inches total statewide — even with a wet El Niño season, we are likely to still be in drought come the spring.” Emergency managers recommend that everyone take steps to prepare their property for potential flooding, and their families for this and any disaster. The county has prepared a list of pre-approved emergency contractors and vendors to call upon in a major storm. Water, mud and debris will

If your phone rings and the caller claims to be from the IRS, it’s a scam, according to the IRS and the San Diego Sheriff’s Department. Thieves are also using email in an attempt to scam potential victims into giving up personal and financial information. The IRS says that scammers often use the IRS name, logo or a fake website to try and steal not only residents’ money, but their identity, as well. The sheriff’s department alerted area residents about the scam phone calls after receiving reports of callers who are very aggressive, even threatening jail

time or a lawsuit if taxes aren’t paid. Any time a caller or an email is asking for money, it is a scam. If it is a phone call, hang up immediately and never give out personal information. Report it to the IRS by calling 800-366-4484. If it is an email, do not reply to the message. Forward the email to phishing@ irs.gov and then delete it. Do not open any email attachments or links. IRS representatives will never call you to demand immediate payment. Instead, they first send a bill in the mail. They will never demand you pay taxes and not allow you to question or appeal the amount you owe. They will never require that you pay your taxes a certain way, such as with a prepaid debit card. They will never ask for your credit or debit card numbers over the phone. And they will never threaten to bring in law enforcement agencies to arrest you for not paying. If you think you may owe taxes, call the IRS directly at 800-829-1040. Visit www. irs.gov for information about reporting phone scams or email phishing attempts. n December 3, 2015


How You Can Fight Medicare Fraud By David Sayen

I

t’s an unfortunate truth, but health care fraud drives up costs for everyone in the health care system. Fraud schemes often depend on identity thieves getting hold of people’s Medicare numbers. So guard your Medicare number. Treat it as you would a credit card. What can you do to protect yourself from health care fraud? Here are some suggestions: • Don’t share your Medicare number or other personal information with anyone who contacts you by phone, email, or by approaching you in person, unless you’ve given them permission in advance. • Tell your friends and neighbors to guard their Medicare numbers.

• Don’t ever let anyone borrow or pay to use your Medicare number. • Review your Medicare Summary Notice to be sure you and Medicare are only being charged for services you actually received. • Be wary of salespeople who knock on your door or call you uninvited and try to sell you a product or service. • Don’t accept items received through the mail that you didn’t order. You should refuse the delivery and/or return it to the sender. Keep a record of the sender’s name and the date you returned the items. Fraudsters often surface during Medicare’s open enrollment season, which runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7. So if you’re

‘Carving A Life’

planning to enroll in a Medicare Part C health plan (Medicare Advantage) or Part D prescription drug plan: • Be suspicious of anyone who contacts you about Medicare plans unless you gave them permission. • There are no “early bird discounts” or “limited time offers” for Medicare plans. • Don’t let anyone rush you to enroll by claiming you need to “act now for the best deal.” • Be skeptical of free gifts, free medical services, discount packages or any offer that sounds too good to be true. • Any promotional items you’re offered to enroll in a Medicare plan must be worth no more than $15. And these items can’t be given on the condition that you enroll in

a plan. A common ploy of identity thieves is to say they can send you your free gift right away — they just need your Medicare number to confirm. Decline politely but firmly. Remember: it’s not rude to be shrewd! If you suspect a health care fraud, report it by calling 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227). You can learn more about protecting yourself from health care fraud by visiting www.medicare.gov or by contacting your local Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP), a nonprofit organization made up of

a film’s names and contributions that give a sense about why it takes so long to get it to the marketplace. “The making of ‘Carving A Life’ has been a fantastic journey, where I’ve made lasting relationships with cast and crew, especially the very talented Terry Ross,” said Bruhn. After the technical production is completed and the distribution contracts are arranged, the film is finally ready to be screened for the general public, which may be as soon as April 2016, a little more than four years after Bruhn began writing the story. Ross and Bruhn look forward to presenting the film at a special screening in Julian after its release in the spring. n

Kitchen Fires More Likely During the Holidays

C

al Fire asks residents to be mindful of the danger that lurks in the kitchen during the holiday season, as home cooking fires spike on major U.S. holidays such as Christmas Day and Christmas Eve. “During the holidays, we tend to have multiple items cooking on the stove while we are visiting with friends and family,” said Chief Ken Pimlott, Cal Fire director. “It is critical to not get distracted and to always stand next to what you are cooking.” “Unattended cooking is the leading cause of home cooking fires,” said Chief Tonya Hoover, State Fire Marshal. “That is why it is so important to stay in the kitchen when preparing your holiday meal.” Turn off the stove if you

have to leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, and use a timer to remind you that food is cooking. Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove, so someone walking by is less likely to bump them or pull them over. When using a turkey fryer, be sure to follow instructions closely. Don’t exceed the

recommended oil level and only use the device outdoors. Also, never use water to put out a grease fire. It is also essential to ensure that there are working smoke alarms installed, Hoover says. “It’s an added measure to protect you from fires in your home.” Visit www.fire.ca.gov. n

Grant Program May Help Homebuyers Mortgage expert Jan Paulsen of Rancho Financial announced a new grant program — Golden State Finance Authority — that may benefit homebuyers. “This program is for people buying primary residences,” said Paulsen. “The buyers do not have to be first-time homebuyers but, of course, first-time homebuyers can use it, too.” Because it is a grant and not a loan, it does not have to be paid back. “This grant provides 3 to 5 percent of the loan amount for use as down payment and/or

for closing costs,” said Paulsen. “That’s a lot of money! A buyer can use it with FHA, VA and conventional financing.” There are income limitations that vary from county to county, but they are generous, she said. “If you or someone you know wants to buy a home and doesn’t have all the funds to do so, this would be a great program to look into.” Restrictions apply, and programs and terms are subject to change without notice. Call Jan Paulsen at Rancho Financial, 619-405-2099. n
