Annual Homecoming Rallies the Community Members of the Homecoming court at the dance. Photo by Eva Hatch

By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

he tradition of welcoming residents and alumni to a parade, football and dance goes back more than a hundred years in this country. Each year, schools recreate the rituals of crowning teen royalty and cheering on the home team with pomp and circumstance. Last month, under the direction of the Associated Student Body (ASB), Julian Union High School students repeated the Homecoming

custom, leading the community in a spirited rally for local athletes and scholars, and adding color and excitement to an otherwise ordinary school week. “Spirit Week” was celebrated at JUHS, with students competing to earn points for their respective classes by dressing according to the day’s theme. Camouflage, tie-dye, twins and pajamas were the lead-up to the final day of character costumes. Students from each class chose a “timeless movie” as the

theme for their parade float. The seniors went with “Alice in Wonderland,” juniors selected “Indiana Jones,” sophomores chose “The Wizard of Oz,” and the freshman class picked “Grease.” A pep rally led by JUHS seniors Diana Gonzalez and Laura Rose Pawlicki kept the energy and optimism high for the weekend’s activities. The day before the parade, the JUHS parking lot took on the energy of a motion picture studio back lot, as students and

advisors transformed trucks and trailers into movie scenes, working side by side in a lighthearted competition late into the evening. Each vied for coveted bragging rights for the best float of the Homecoming parade. On Friday morning, all dressed and made-up, the princes, princesses and cast of characters from classic movies lined up south of town for the annual march down See Annual Homecoming continued on page 12

Residents Turn Out to Meet Dianne Jacob

By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

an Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob opened a meeting at Julian Town Hall on Oct. 2 by wishing a happy birthday to Jan Mattias, a longtime Julian resident known for her work

Richardson

with the Julian Library. Jacob acknowledged there were many familiar faces in the crowd as well as some she had not seen before, which led her to speak about how she came to be a public servant. Throughout the meeting, she listened and offered

support on a broad range of topics. Jacob explained that she never aspired to be in politics. Born in Mission Hills, her family left “the city” and kept moving east, seeking a rural life. A thirdgeneration San Diegan with a lifetime teaching credential, she was happy to be living with her family, tending chickens and pigs and canning her produce, when a neighbor informed her of an issue facing her neighborhood. Jacob joined the fight, one thing led to another, and today she is a sixterm County Supervisor, defending constituents’ interests since 1992. The microphone was passed around the hall to allow people to introduce themselves and any topic that they would like the community and the supervisor to consider. Representing the Julian Medical Foundation, Chuck Kimball optimistically mentioned that the new medical clinic might be coming soon, as they consider a funding source that would move the project forward. Ed Glass of Butterfield Bed & Breakfast and member of the Julian Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors came with a funding request for the ongoing renovation of Julian Town Hall, as part of an overall plan to re-establish Julian as a tourist destination. According to Glass, tourism in Julian has yet to recover from the 2008 recession.

Local Boy Scout David Stringfellow sought support for his Eagle Scout project to build a welcome sign for the Julian historic district. Some thanked Jacob for her help in solving a problem or providing funds for a project, while others raised local issues, such as road maintenance and clearing. Once the introductions were complete, two hot topics dominated the conversation: the status of unreliable high-speed Internet in the backcountry, and marijuana production in the form of illegal plants on private property, as well as a sanctioned marijuana dispensary that may be coming to the community. “I can always tell when there is an issue brewing by the number of people who turn out,” said Jacob. Kurt Boettcher of Julian wanted to know what could be done about the problem of limited Internet access in backcountry neighborhoods. Boettcher complained that AT&T is no longer maintaining copper lines and will not expand networks outside of Main Street, where there is excellent high-speed fiber-optic technology. Some neighbor-

hoods, such as Pine Hills and Wynola, are not even connected, forcing residents to rely on worn, outdated infrastructure or undependable satellite technology. Boettcher reported that AT&T employees stated that the historical review board would not allow them to bring services to the backcountry. Boettcher reached out to the architectural review board, which denied any such restriction, a fact that was confirmed by a board member present at the meeting. Jacob encouraged those interested to give contact information to her policy advisor, Matthew Parr, who will set up a meeting with AT&T to discuss what can be done about the situation. Anyone who would

like to be involved may contact him at matthew.parr@sdcounty. ca.gov. Jean Duffy of Drug Free Julian announced that except for San Diego, all of the cities in the county have banned marijuana dispensaries. This has pushed dispensaries into the unincorporated areas of San Diego. According to Duffy, at least one of three new dispensaries in Ramona is run by people who are currently in escrow to purchase a property on Newman Way to open a dispensary in Julian. Fred Dornan, owner of Miner’s Diner, spoke out against the transaction, and said that the buyers had previously approached him with an offer to buy his prop-

erty for three times its value, which he declined. After listening to citizens’ concerns, Jacob agreed that it is a serious problem. She pointed out that it is a federal crime to grow, possess or distribute marijuana and recommended sharing concerns with the property owner to try to quash the sale. Jacob strongly encouraged community involvement to face this tough issue, saying that organized citizens can make a difference. During the meeting, Jacob delegated her staff to note issues that her office would address, and welcomed those interested in working directly with her to find solutions to problems facing the community.

Jacob Announces Local ‘Vet Connect’ and Wildfire Map San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob presented information in her Oct. 13 “Dianne’s Corner” newsletter about the launch of Vet Connect access at Julian Library and the creation of a Wildfire Hazard Map. Regarding Vet Connect, Jacob said, “It allows veterans to talk with county Veterans Services staff over the

Internet, via a video and audio link at the Julian Library. The idea for Vet Connect came up after veterans and others came to me and raised concerns about their access to critical services. With this initiative, we’re saving backcountry residents a timeconsuming trip into town.” The program is set to come to other libraries in the

All For A Brighter Christmas By Johnny McDonald ~ the journal

s a young boy on Christmas Eve, I would be sent off to bed by my parents and close the door to my room. Then, they’d scurry around to bring in a tree and load it down with lights, garland and ornaments, all ready for Christmas morning. And in true belief, I knew that Santa had done it all just for me. Well, today there may not be the same Santa “magic,” but there are enough elves around Julian to brighten things for another Christmas season. The “elves” are a committee of 25 townspeople who will put up the lights, garland and wreaths in time for Thanksgiving, allowing visitors and residents to enjoy Julian’s holiday ambiance through early January. Chairman Ed Glass said the first committee meeting was in early October, and volunteers will go to work the first week of November in designated locations for the installation of Christmas displays. He and his wife, Dawn, are owners of Buttferfield Bed & Breakfast. Have been since 1999. “We focus on the downtown area — specifically, Main Street,” said Glass, referring to the committee. “Then, we concentrate on the big cedar tree in the Pioneer Museum Park.” Kirsten Starlin supervises a crew that prepares the park’s pathways and adds hay bales for seating and stage decorations. Ron and Cathy Ozbun created and updated the installation manual for the decorating team, while Tracy Turner guides the activity among vendors.

DJ Dave Klumph of Dave’s Musical Entertainment will provide the sound equipment. Seidl’s Party Rentals of Ramona will handle the canopy, stage, lighting and props. “What we are doing differently would be the day of the (opening) event, we’ll have a fairly extensive musical production for the tree lighting itself.” In another change, he said performers will be spread throughout the town to encourage people to walk through the shops. “The tree itself will have approximately 3,000 lights and take two weeks to complete,” he said. “I don’t know how many are around town, but it’s in the thousands.” Mike Menghini and Glass are the installers for the 80-foot-tall cedar Christmas tree at Pioneer Museum Park, and upper areas of buildings along Main Street. “We’ve been working together on the 135-foot boom lift since 1999,” said Glass. “The rest of the ladder work is done by our team of volunteers, directed by Johnny and Diane Hake.” Glass spoke of other towns, like Palm Springs and Temecula, where professional installers charge for their services. “We get quotes each year, and it’s up to the $30,000 to $40,000 range,” he said. “But we do it with fundraising and donations. We have to replace lights now and then. But about 10 years ago, we switched from standard lights to LED, and that has saved us tremendously on the electric bill.” Over the 17 years he’s been doing this, he’s only had bad weather two or three times. He said it was rained out once. The holiday season in Julian also offers an opportunity to shop for oneof-a-kind gifts at small boutiques and craft shows, without crowds or lines. “Couldn’t put everything together this year for the ‘Christmas Carol,’ but we’ll do a version of ‘Handel’s Messiah,’” Glass

said. Santa will make several appearances in Julian during the season. Visitors can indulge in a Victorian Christmas tea, sing Christmas carols with costumed holiday carolers, sip a cup of hot chocolate or spiced cider, watch the annual living Nativity tableau, and cuddle under a blanket while riding down Main Street in a carriage. This may be a bit of a dream. But due to its Cuyamaca Mountains location, holiday time in Julian gets closer to the dream than most spots in Southern California. Feel a nip in the air, sniff wood fires, and possibly catch a glimpse of snow. n

Service: A Way of Life at the Legion By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

hartered by the United States Congress in 1919, the American Legion is the nation’s largest wartime veterans’ service organization. Among its stated missions are commitments to mentoring youth, sponsoring

wholesome community programs and advocating patriotism. With the Legion’s 14,000 posts worldwide, patriots don’t have to travel far to find a welcoming place and a friendly face. Since 1934, visitors and residents have frequented the Lincoln Deming Post 468 in Julian to socialize with like-

The Big Kitchen Remodel Question: Refinish, Reface, or Replace Your Old Cabinets?

NEW LOCATION! 1668 Main Street, Suite F

For homeowners who want to modernize their old kitchen, the big question is, should I refinish, reface or replace my older cabinets? I recommend each case be reviewed based on the answer to several qualifying questions. First, what are your main reasons for modernizing your kitchen? • Eliminate the ugly and impossible-tomaintain tile countertops. • Increase the food preparation space. • Improve cabinet access and increase storage. • Make my kitchen an inviting and exciting part of my home. Are you planning on staying in this home for a long time? • Yes, we have decided this is something we want for ourselves. • Maybe, we might downsize in the next few years. • No, we will be moving soon. Do the existing cabinets have high quality hinges, drawer guides and interiors? • Not sure. Everything works but the house was built 25 years ago. • No, the drawers are difficult to operate and the hinges are exposed. • Yes, the builder used good materials and the only problem is the look. Do you have a budget allowance that may influence your choices? • Yes, we are on a fixed income and can’t spend our retirement to do this. • We have no idea what the costs may be, so we have not developed a budget. • We are prepared to do what it takes, but it has to be within reason. My recommendations flow from the answers to these fundamental issues. For example, it doesn’t

make sense to put brand-new granite countertops on top of broken-down, 25-year-old cabinets. Sometimes the cabinets are still in good operating order and refinishing is the right choice. That determination should be made after a professional inspects them inside and out. The next step is to assess the workability of the kitchen layout; do you have low-hanging cabinets blocking the view into the adjacent family room? Do you have more than one way in and out of the kitchen? Is there adequate preparation and staging space to properly prepare and serve a meal? Can you reach into the corners of the lower cabinets to retrieve stored goods? Are the shelves properly secured and sealed from contaminants from canned foods or storage containers? Finally, if you need to replace all or most of the appliances, including the sink and faucet, this may be the best time to make the corrections in the other aspects of the kitchen that constantly remind you that it was built 25 years ago. Many companies advertise that they can reface your existing cabinets for half the cost of replacement cabinetry. This would be true if you did nothing other than re-dress the cabinets, but if you are going to replace the countertops, appliances, lighting and flooring, it may save you as little as 10%. That is because the majority of the cost in cabinetry is in the doors and drawers, all of which get replaced in a reface job anyway. My advice is to consult a kitchen design professional before you make any major decisions regarding your kitchen project. The right decision will be much easier if you have reviewed all of your options.

minded citizens and support worthwhile local activities. Some 600 registered members of Post 468 are divided among three organizations: The American Legion, which is open to active-duty military and military veterans; The Sons of the American Legion, open to sons and grandsons of military and veterans; and the American Legion Auxiliary, which is open to spouses, daughters and granddaughters of military and veterans. The Julian Post is so popular it claims members from coast to coast. Post Commander Chris Sanders once asked a fellow from Oregon why he didn’t join a Post near where he lived instead of joining in Julian. “Because you do stuff here,” replied the visitor. “Tourists come in and decide they want to be a part of what we are doing here,” said Sanders. With four months under his belt as commander, Sanders says the volunteer position is “Keeping him sane,” even though sometimes it is crazybusy. Sanders, who retired from the Army National Guard after 21 years, oversees the local Post, making sure everyone is

doing their part. This is no small task, considering that everyone who “works” at the Legion is a volunteer. That’s one house manager, two cooks and four bartenders/waitresses who work shifts that keep the Post open and serving customers 363 days a year. In addition to serving lunch daily, there are occasional breakfasts, dinners

and an annual dance that all raise money for local causes. Roy Wathen has been kitchen manager at the Legion for four years and enjoys being part of an organization that does so much good in the community. “I love it. I especially like serving those who served our country,” said Wathen. “God bless those guys. If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t have this way of living we have.” The list of beneficiaries of the generosity of the Legionnaires is impressive. The local Boy Scout troop, schools, individual students, sports teams, fire stations, Julian Town Hall, veterans and veterans’ organizations have all been helped financially from the tens of thousands of dollars in donations raised annually. The support that the Legion provides is not just financial, but social and emotional, too. Saturday night pool tournaments and impromptu jam sessions provide entertainment for members. Post Chaplain Jimmy Carter performs funeral services at the Julian Pioneer Cemetery, followed by potluck repasts at the Post.

Additionally, Legion families use the meeting room for parties and celebrations. “When you leave the service, a big part of your life is gone, and it takes time to adjust,” said Sanders. “Being part of an organization who you can

relate to and who can relate to you — it helps.” Through active membership and volunteerism, Julian Post 468 makes a difference in the lives of those who serve and have served our nation — and the rest of us. n

Peggy Joe Balentine 1952-2015

Peggy Joe Balentine, 63, businesswoman and resident of Julian, Calif., passed away Sept. 14, 2015, following a yearlong battle with lung cancer. Her daughter, Lora Kapelczak, was by her side. Peggy was born in 1952 in Truman, Ark., the second of seven children born to Betty and Joe Balentine. “She lived a full life and had adventures in many places around the world, yet she settled in the peaceful town of Julian and was the proud owner of Julian Mountain Emporium, which her family will continue to run in her honor,” Kapelczak said. Peggy took great pride in being a

charitable lady, and endlessly donated her time and energy to her community, local clubs, church, and many of its members. “She was a strong Christian woman and never wavered in her faith and how blessed God had made her, and even in her final moments was in prayer.” She is survived by Kapelczak, her only child; grandchildren Ava, Lana and Maddox; siblings Glenda Smith, Sandra Graetz, Rick Balentine, Leon Isbell, Sharon Elliston and Denise McMurray; and many loving nieces and nephews. A memorial service and celebration of life were held Oct. 23. Family members expressed thanks to all who prayed, visited and cared for Peggy Joe in her final months. n

Annual Homecoming Continued from page 1 Main Street, past cheering children, residents and a team of five judges, who tallied a scorecard on the creativity, enthusiasm and presentation of the floats. By Friday evening, it was time for the football contest against rival Borrego Springs, and the ritual crowning of the Julian Homecoming King and Queen. Sadly for Eagles fans, the Rams shut out the home team in a tough match. Not all was lost, however, as a fantastic turnout covered the costs of dance supplies and floodlights and netted a tidy profit of $600. In a ceremony organized by Pawlicki, with help from Eva Hatch, Daniel Streamer and Victoria Montes were crowned this year’s king and queen. Float winners were also announced, with seniors grabbing first place,

followed by sophomores, juniors and freshmen. Meanwhile, the dance committee, headed up by Vladimir Wong, transformed the JUHS multipurpose room and hallway into a glamorous backdrop for an evening of dancing and memories the following night. As guests arrived in semiformal finery, they passed through balloon arches into a room decorated with stars and touches of Hollywood style. Throughout the evening, students danced to popular tunes and enjoyed snacks donated by parents. With the Homecoming tradition in Julian and school spirit firmly intact yet another year, JUHS concluded the activities with, what else, a cleanup committee of ASB officers to restore the school for campus life. n

Ingredients Extra-virgin olive oil 1 large onion, small dice 3 ribs celery, small dice Kosher salt 1 pound spicy sausage, casing removed, broken into bite-size chunks 3 cloves garlic, smashed an d finely diced 3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts 10 sage leaves, finely chopped 3 sprigs rosemary, leaves finely chopped 10 cups stale cornbread, cut into 1-inch cubes 2 cups dried cranberries 3 to 4 cups chicken stock

Gravy Total Time: 25 min • Prep: 10 min • Cook: 15 min Yield: 10-12 servings • Level: Intermediate Ingredients 24 o unces reduced sodium chicken broth 8 ounces red wine 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1 t ablespoon fresh herbs such as oregano, thyme or rosemary Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Directions Remove turkey from the roasting pan and set aside to rest. Leave drippings from the turkey in the pan and place the roasting pan over medium heat. Add the broth and wine at the same time. Whisk to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan until all of the bits have come loose. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes in order to reduce the mixture slightly. Transfer the liquid to a fat separator and let sit for 5 minutes to allow fat to separate. Return 2/3 to 3/4 cup of the fat to the roasting pan and place over medium-high heat. Discard any remaining fat. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture starts to thicken and become smooth, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Once this happens, gradually add the liquid back to the pan and whisk until smooth and you have reached your desired consistency, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Remember, your gravy should be slightly thin in the pan as it will thicken once you serve it. Add the herbs and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, add the onions and celery and saute over medium heat. Season with salt and cook until the vegetables start to become soft and are very aromatic. Add the sausage and cook until the sausage begins to brown. Stir in the garlic and saute for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the walnuts, sage and rosemary and cook for another minute, then remove from heat. In a large bowl mix together the cornbread, cranberries, and sausage mixture. Add chicken stock and knead with your hands until the bread is very moist, actually wet. Taste to check for seasoning and season with salt, if needed, and transfer to an ovenproof dish. Bake the stuffing until it is hot all the way through and is crusty on top, about 30 to 35 minutes.
