ess Martin Park has come a long way since the days when volunteers cut the grass so their kids could play sports there. Amenities such as a skate park, playground, bathrooms, exercise station and walking path have been installed, providing a variety of recreational activities for the public to enjoy. Today, a volunteer host and employees of the San Diego County Parks and Recreation Department maintain the park. More-recent improvements at the park will enhance the experience of visitors for years to come. Last year, for example, workers hauled an old baseball scoreboard from storage, refurbished it, fitted it with
schooling families. The Feeding America program got a boost from a cover story, and photos of a bobcat seeking shelter in a Warner High School classroom garnered more than a little interest. The drought was a concern early last year, leading the

In the spring of last year, 20 trees were planted along the walking and jogging path that circles the park. In time, the sycamores and alders will grow to 50 feet in height. Their
canopies will eventually touch, creating shady areas for picnics, sports and outdoor exercise. County park maintenance worker Anthony Findahl, assigned to the park seven months ago, has been involved in a number of projects for the park.

Judging the films is a panel of jurors that includes writers, actors, directors, filmmakers and producers from such notable productions as “Breaking Bad,”“Longmire” and “A Few Good Men,” to name a few. This, in turn, attracts top-notch competition in every category of filmmaking, with more than 170 entries from around the world.

The award was named in honor of writer and musician Mary Austin, who was an active member of the Idyllwild arts community, where she cowrote and provided music for plays at the Idyllwild Rustic Theater until her death in 2009, the same year that the IIFC was born. After Idyllwild, the next stop for “The Last Resort” is a screening at the first California Women’s Film Festival in North Hollywood, which showcases women filmmakers, artists and writers. n

organize and house park supplies and equipment. The area became a makeshift nursery last October, when the Community United Methodist Church of Julian donated funds to purchase plants in honor of its 50th anniversary. Findahl picked up the plants at the annual California Native Plant Sale and cared for them in the storage area while waiting for the optimum planting time after the first rains of the season. That day came late last year, when a dozen members of the church volunteered to get the plants in the ground while it was still moist from December rains. Church volunteer Fred Fabre emphatically said of his decision to offer his labor: “Because it needed to be done, and it’s a good thing to do!” Dave Moniz, San Diego County supervisor for William Heise County Park, who worked

alongside the volunteers transplanting the shrubbery, reported that the church laborers felt that planting this garden has been the most meaningful of the projects the church organized to celebrate its anniversary. “It fits perfectly,” said volunteer Tricia Elisara of the project. “We are called to be stewards of God’s creation.” California native plant enthusiast Art Cole discussed the benefits of using native plants and gave instruction on best practices for transferring potted plants to the earth to ensure their survival. Cole demonstrated how supporting the plants with mulch and berms made out of the earth in a ring around the plants’ roots enables the plants to hold water instead of letting it run off. “For every three native plants you put in the ground, 100 native bacteria will grow,”

said Cole. “Then the insects will come and the birds will come.” Moniz spoke about the value of native landscaping in resisting drought and fires and his hope to use the new garden to educate and inspire park visitors through a possible kiosk display in the future. The new plants and shrubs installed around the bathrooms will mature and fill in the area within the next 18 months, while the trees will take some years to reach their full height, beautifying the park for future generations. n

popular places to stay in Southern California. Sunset magazine picked it as one of the top six lodges in the West, and Westways magazine named it the best place to say “I love you.” Innkeepers Pat and Darrell Straube
opened the inn in 1994. For the past 18 years, the inn has been awarded a “Four Diamond” rating from the Auto Club of Southern California. The coveted ratings are bestowed on accommodations that are upscale in all areas. “The physical attributes reflect an obvious enhanced level of quality throughout,” describes the rating on the Auto Club’s website. “The fundamental hallmarks at this level include an

We feel we really owe our guests whatever we can do to make them feel comfortable.”

ouldn’t it be nice to not have to rearrange everything in your cabinets just to get to one mixing bowl in the back? Ever found yourself on your hands and knees, reaching into the dark and distant back lower shelf of your kitchen cabinets looking for a flour sifter you know you own, but haven’t used in so long you can’t remember where you put it? Then you discover where you put that old coffee bean grinder you were looking for last week! There are many ways to improve your kitchen’s functionality, and it doesn’t always take a lot of money or a major remodel. You only have so much cabinet space in your kitchen and in most cases up to 50 percent is not accessible and ends up being poorly utilized. Most kitchens are designed by builders and designed in ways to lower building costs. Save yourself the aches and pains of getting on your hands and knees. Accessorize your kitchen and make it more organized, accessible, and a
much better work environment for the whole family. At Kitchen Barn, in Ramona, we really enjoy showing people how many options they have when they want to update their kitchen. We start with a no charge, no obligation visit to your home. We’ll have a discussion about what you love and hate about your current kitchen. We take measurements, make notes about all of your electrical outlets, appliances and fixtures, and then we usually make an appointment for you to come into our showroom where we can advise you on what solutions fit your needs and your budget. We even have a 3D computer system so you can see what we are talking about. It is a smart way to find out what you can do to put your kitchen back to work for you and your family.

Make the Most of Your Night Out this Valentine’s Day
C
hocolates and flowers may be staples of Valentine’s Day, but many couples take it one step further and dine out on February 14. A romantic dinner is an ideal capper for a day geared around love and affection. But Valentine’s Day is a busy night for many restaurants, so it pays to heed the following advice to ensure this special night is memorable for all the right reasons. • Make reservations well in advance. Dining out is especially popular on Valentine’s Day, so call several weeks in advance to secure your spot. Also, do not underestimate the draw of all types of restaurants on Valentine’s Day. People who were not able to get a table at their first choices may trickle into chain restaurants or smaller establishments in search of an easy meal. If you think your lesser-known haunt will not be packed, think again. Always play it safe by making a reservation early. • Expect some crowding. Restaurants tend to add extra tables on Valentine’s Day, when they expect an influx of customers. Dining rooms may be more packed than usual, and you may not have a choice of where you will be seated. Even a reservation does not guarantee you won’t have to wait for a table. Be patient upon arriving at the restaurant, and consider wait time when factoring in childcare. • Be flexible with the menu. Pricefixed menus are commonplace on nights when there will be a large turnover of customers in a short amount of time. These menus allow restaurants to stock up on the necessary ingredients and cook en masse. Diners may find that price-fixed menus offer a limited selection, and their favorite dishes may not be available. But knowing
this in advance can reduce feelings of disappointment. Rest assured there should be several options that appeal to different palates. • Be patient with servers. Valentine’s Day is a busy night for staff at the restaurant, particularly servers who must be the liaison between the kitchen staff and diners. The sheer volume of customers can test the skills of even the most veteran servers. Many Valentine’s Day diners do not eat out regularly and will need extra guidance. Servers may be called on to snap photos of couples with cell phones or linger at certain tables. Use idle time at your table to engage in romantic conversation and plan the rest of the evening. • Consider your budget. Diners can expect to pay a premium for dining out on Valentine’s Day. Select a lowerpriced restaurant if your budget is on the smaller side. • Be on time. Being respectful of your reservation will not only benefit you, but also it is a courtesy to fellow diners who will be sitting at your table later in the evening. While you may want to linger over dessert, try not to linger too long. Valentine’s Day is a busy night for dining out. Patience, courtesy and flexibility are traits that can keep your evening moving along smoothly. n

team, which placed first in the San Felipe 250 and went on to win four out of five races for the year in the SCORE Pro40 motorcycle class. The Warner Springs area also got a nod, with March articles about Eagle Rock, a rock formation on the Pacific Crest Trail that resembles an eagle with its wings spread; progress on the restoration of Warner Springs Ranch Resort; and the Warner Springs Community Resource Center doing double duty as a rest station for hikers. Last year’s Daffodil Show in March was “spectacular,” according to organizer Sally Snipes, despite the unseasonably warm weather that brought out the blooms earlier than usual. The March issue also featured a preview of the Taste of Julian. Julian Woman’s Club’s Julian Back Country Quilt Trail went from idea to implementation in 2014. Meetings were held in April to bring the proposal to the public. The first group of “quilt” blocks painted on buildings was presented in a photo spread in the September Journal, and officially dedicated with a ribbon cutting that month. Community safety was the focus of April articles that covered the awarding of an ambulance contract for the Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District, and Cal Fire’s early
teers. Also highlighted was an overnight stop in Julian by participants of the Ride for World Health bicycle tour. In May, the spotlight was on local CHP father and son, Dean Stowers, retired, and Derek Stowers, who took over his father’s post. Another article examined what inspires residents to move to and stay in Julian. Music and art also took center stage in May, with stories about a JUHS student art exhibition in Julian Library, and previews for Sons of the American Legion Post 468’s “The Dance,” Blues Bash, and Fiddle and Pickin’ Contest. In addition, the Julian Chamber of Commerce Western-themed installation of officers was reported as a near sell-out. In June, the Journal congratulated graduates of Julian Union High School, Julian Charter School, Ray Redding Continuation High School, and Warner High School. Miss Julian Jessica Nichols and Teen Miss Julian Catherine Skibinski were crowned in a June ceremony. The Wild and Scenic Film Festival and Julian Chamber’s annual Gold Rush Days were a hit with those who attended, and the Julian Triangle Club’s Garden Tour marked its second year. June stories also featured the geology of the Julian area
unofficial “Independence walk” down the parade route. Julian Chamber announced plans to raise funds to restore the downstairs level of Julian Town Hall and launched an honorary mayor campaign to benefit the project. Candidates earned “votes” via contributions to the restoration fund, at a penny a vote. Paintings that once hung in JUHS decades ago were the focus of a July story that highlighted how Patricia Mushet, Eileen Tellam and others discovered their whereabouts, allowing the paintings to be moved to Julian Pioneer Museum with the hope they will be restored and eventually returned to the school. In other arts-related news, a story and photo spread showcased the unique home and compound of renowned local artist James Hubbell, who opened his doors to the public for his annual open house. Longtime resident Dave Johnston’s passion for music was also featured. August brought the announcement that Julian native Stacy Peyakov was elected to be the town’s new honorary mayor by a large margin of penny votes. Other major news was the completion of construction of JUHS’s science building and extensive renovation of the theater, all in time for the first day JANUARY 29, 2015

bers, who entered and showed livestock in the Ramona Junior Fair. The JUHS Cross Country Team started the school year on a high note with participation in Vaquero Stampede Invitational. A celebration was held to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Julian Town Hall. Other September articles piqued interest in the upcoming Julian StarFest and highlighted the Volcan Mountain Foundation’s “Summer Supper at the Farm” fundraiser. San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob’s “Coffee with Constituents” meeting in Julian Town Hall was the subject of an October story, with topics covering everything from public utilities to wildfire preparedness.
season of big events and fundraisers. The Journal covered Julian Chamber’s Grape Stomp Festa, Apple Days Festival and Julian Music Festival; Julian Lions Club’s Horseshoe Tournament; Julian Arts Guild’s Open Studios Tour; Julian Triangle Club’s Melodrama; and the Borrego Days Desert Festival. The JUHS homecoming parade and its comic book theme were featured in a cover story in the November Journal, picturing superheroes, sidekicks and villains making their way down Main Street. California Wolf Center was the focus of a December story that provided an overview of its work with Mexican and Rocky Mountain gray wolves. New Julian Postmaster Brenda Daniels was introduced, and Girl Scouts Kaleigh Kaltenthaler and Taylor Cole attended a ceremony where they were honored with the Silver Award.

Highlighted in the December issue Julian residents were prompted by the Banner Fire in July to establish a local Julian Alerts system, allowing residents to register at www.julianalerts.com to receive notifications in the event of an emergency. The Christmas season launched with Julian Chamber’s Country Christmas Tree Lighting, paving the way for holiday favorites such as the Julian Woman’s Club Holiday Home Tour; Julian Community Choir’s presentation of Handel’s Messiah; and Julian Triangle Club’s Community Christmas with Santa, ending the year on a festive note. From Julian’s youngest students to its oldest volunteers, our town is filled with generous and caring people who work hard for the community.

Humble Start to Big Time
S
purred by the efforts of police officer Bud Coons, a hot-rod club called Choppers and an understanding city government, a drag race facility was born on the Los Angeles County Fair’s parking lot in 1951. Pomona police chief Ralph Parker was supportive, because it was a place for young men to attain high speeds, rather than on the highway. Things were simple and lowtech in those days. Cars were driven to the track or towed in makeshift trailers. Through a fundraising campaign, a quarter-mile strip and runoff area was paved for weekly races. Eventually, residents in nearby communities complained of the noise, forcing it to shut down. A compromise was established in 1961, and the newly sanctioning National Hot Rod Association, headed by Wally Parks, obtained approval to conduct major national events, to be called the Winternationals and World Finals. Those primitive 1950s racing duels would broaden into two
of NHRA’s biggest attractions. The Winternationals will celebrate its 54th year Feb. 6 to 8 before an anticipated crowd of 80,000. For five decades it has been a major factor in the area’s economy. As an observer in those early days, I was amazed to see long lines of cars with drivers seeking to get a quick quarter-mile run. In the vast pit area, it was not uncommon to see big-time drivers like Don Garlits and Don Prudhomme working alongside drivers with an altered Willys or “chopped” Chevy or Ford. Garlits and Prudhomme were at the top of their fuel dragster and funny car classes for many years. If it had a marquee, the names would have been top fuels’ Warren Johnson, Gary Beck and Kenny Bernstein and super stocks’ Bob Glidden and Ronnie Sox. It was where the sport’s first major women’s star, Shirley Muldowney, began her quest to a national top fuel dragster title and driver-of-the-year honor.
And it was where John Force vaulted into prominence in funny cars, collecting 16 championships. At 65, he’s searching for another title, along with his racing daughters Courtney and Brittany. Those talented daughters will join their father in the upcoming Winternationals. Drag racing’s roots had been planted on dry lakebeds, like Muroc in California’s Mojave Desert, where hot-rodders had congregated since the early 1930s and speeds first topped 100 mph. Over the years, the track has undergone a $6-million expansion and renovation, with aggressive upgrading of facilities to stadium-quality, with fan amenities, VIP towers and tall grandstands. Now in its fifth decade, NHRA is the world’s largest motorsports-sanctioning body, with 80,000 members, 140 member tracks, more than 35,000 licensed competitors and more than 5,000 membertrack events. “No one could have conceived what has happened,” Parks said of the NHRA’s tremendous growth and success. “But we did have ambitions of its becoming a national sports entity. We weren’t planning or marketing geniuses or anything like that.” Parks died in 2007, at the age of 94. The Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum is located at the Los Angeles Fairplex. n

ulian needs to organize how it responds to emergencies such as too much snow, fire or too much traffic during Apple Days,” honorary mayor Stacy Peyakov announced shortly after the recent “big snow.” Her initial call to action took place at the monthly Julian Chamber of Commerce board meeting on Jan. 15. “I had a ton of calls during the snow days, and I couldn’t help most people,” she said, because she was stuck in her home and is only an “honorary” mayor with no official power. “We need to have a plan of attack, and everyone needs to know who is responsible for responding to what in emergences,” she explained. Peyakov expressed to the Chamber board her plan to connect the dots. She said she will select a committee of five or so people from the
community to get the ball rolling. The committee will meet soon with official agencies and come back to the community with ideas at a Town Hall meeting, scheduled for either Feb. 10 or Feb. 24, “when we hope to have answers to any questions that come up.” The committee and agencies will continue to meet until members have started an action plan. Peyakov says she has already contacted many of the following organizations that serve the Julian community: San Diego County Sheriff, County Roads, California Highway Patrol, Caltrans, County Parks and Recreation, Julian Cuyamaca Fire, Cal Fire, CERT, and the Department of Fish and Game. Most have indicated they would be on board to get the plan developed and put in place. Issues they will address include excessive snow, wildfire, and traffic at Apple Days,
Country Christmas and the Fourth Of July Parade. Illegal hunting situations are also on Peyakov’s list. “Recently, there have been more hunters up here than in the past,” she said. “Many of them disregard posted signs on private property. Currently we only have one Fish and Game warden to patrol the entire Julian area. “I know people will have questions about what to do on their own property during these events,” Peyakov notes. She is currently accepting questions and concerns on note cards with names and contact information on them, which residents may submit to the Chamber office. Peyakov promises to pick up and check them regularly, and take them to the committee and agencies. She stressed that this emergency plan project is just getting under way and will take time. n JANUARY 29, 2015
Get Help Paying YourMedicare Costs By David Sayen
Y
ou may be able to get help from your state to pay your Medicare premiums. State-based Medicare Savings Programs also may pay Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) deductibles, coinsurance and copayments. If you have income from working, you may qualify for these programs even if your income is higher than the income limits listed below. There are four kinds of Medicare Savings Programs: Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB) Program. Helps pay for your Part A and/or Part B premiums, deductibles,
coinsurance and copayments. Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB) Program. Helps pay your Part B premiums only. Qualifying Individual (QI) Program.
Fourth of July Parade Committee Selects 2015 Theme
“Star Spangled Salute” will be the theme of the annual Julian Fourth of July parade this year. Selecting the theme is the first thing the parade committee does in getting ready to present the annual event. Not only does the theme reflect patriotism, “It’s a colorful and fun one,” said Leslie Crouch, the committee member who oversees the design. Because the 2014 parade was canceled at the last minute due to a fire that was heading toward town, “There was a question about whether
we should keep last year’s theme, ‘It’s A Grand Old Flag,’ or come up with something different that honors the flag and what it symbolizes,” said committee secretary Mary Morris. The committee voted for the second option by a vast majority. “Star Spangled Salute” and the graphic design work supporting it will inform most of the decisions made in the next few months in connection with the parade. These include entries, fundraising and marketing. Visit www.julianparade.com. n
Helps pay your Part B premiums only. You must apply each year for QI benefits, and the applications are granted on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to people who got QI benefits the previous year. (You can’t get QI benefits if you qualify for Medicaid). Qualified Disabled and Working Individuals (QDWI) Program. Helps pay your Part A premiums only. You may qualify for this program if you have a disability and are working. The names of these programs and how they work may vary by state. If you qualify for a QMB, SLMB or QI program, you automatically qualify to get “Extra Help” paying for your Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D) plan. If you answer yes to these questions, call your State Medicaid office to see if you qualify for a Medicare Savings Program: Do you have, or are you eligible for, Medicare Part A? Is your income for 2014 at, or below, the income limits listed below? Do you have limited resources, below the limits below? The amounts that follow may increase in 2015. But it’s important to call or fill out an application if you think you could qualify for savings, even if your income or resources are higher than the amounts listed here. Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB) Program: Individual monthly income limit, $993.
Married couple monthly income limit, $1,331. Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB) Program: Individual monthly income limit, $1,187. Married couple monthly income limit, $1,593. Qualifying Individual (QI) Program: Individual monthly income limit, $1,333. Married couple monthly income limit, $1,790. Qualified Disabled and Working Individuals (QDWI) Program: Individual monthly income limit, $3,975. Married couple monthly income limit, $5,329. Limits are slightly higher in Alaska and Hawaii. If you have income from working, you may qualify for benefits even if your income is higher than the limits listed. Resource limits for the QMB, SLMB and QI programs are $7,160 for one person and $10,750 for a married couple. Resource limits for the QDWI program are $4,000 for one person and $6,000 for a married couple. Countable resources include money in a checking or savings account, stocks and bonds. They do not include your home, one car, a burial plot, up to $1,500 for burial expenses if you have put that money aside, furniture and other household and personal items. n David Sayen is Medicare’s regional administrator for Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada and the Pacific Territories.

shot of your career progression, focusing on the good. Viewed in its entirety these experiences create a compelling story about your accomplishments and the value you bring to an organization. Now, what do you want more of in the future? What’s your desired outcome for this year and the next? It could be a new challenge, improved work environment, more responsibility or learning a new skill. With this in hand, starting today, talk positively about yourself, your current and past employers, and what you want in the future. This new habit is life- and career-affirming. Present: Concentrate on the here and now and what you can impact in the present. Today is the only day that matters. Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to accomplish something. The more action you take today, the greater chance for results. Action creates satisfaction. Identify one small step that you can do today that creates forward momentum toward your desired outcome. To lock in this commitment, write it down and keep it in a visible location. This will make it real
and increase the likelihood of making it happen. Once that is completed, identify another step and follow the same pattern. Completing a series of small commitments is manageable and will add up over time. Space: Let go of burdens and baggage weighing you down. Emotional energy is a precious commodity. To make room for the good, you need to let go of the bad. That may require you to forgive others as well as yourself. This should include any wrongs from previous employers. You may have a long list of what you would have done differently. But the truth is, the past is just that — the past. While it played a role in where you are today, it is not an indicator of the future, especially if you have a commitment to change. The release of this emotional energy will allow you to create space for the good you want to bring into your life. The past is history and no reflection of what you can do in the future. Listen to your “good” inner voice. You have a good inner voice along with the not-sogood one. The latter will cast
doubt and distract you from acting on your commitments. The good one focuses on your potential and prospects for achieving future success. When doubts creep into your mind, as they are bound to do, simply let them pass through and replace them with something that lifts your spirits. This could be a past success as noted on your life arc, or someone or something thing that brings a smile to your face. Resetting your GPS shouldn’t be a solo mission — enlist help. Surround yourself with people who are positive, have a good attitude and want to help. While it may not be easy for you to ask for support, all you have to do is put yourself out there and allow others to assist you. Getting out of career gridlock takes commitment, motivation and self-discipline. With some focused attention and a shift in attitude, you will open yourself up to opportunities and create situations that will ease and hopefully release your state of gridlock. n Peter C. Diamond is the author of “Amplify Your Career and Life: 4 Steps to Evaluate, Assess and Move Forward.”

Plumbing Solutions That Make Sense
W
hile many New Year’s resolutions have come and gone, it’s never too late make a resolution to keep your plumbing in good working order. Stop Wasting Water. According to the EPA, leaks account for an average of 10,000 gallons of wasted water in the home every year. That’s enough to fill a backyard swimming pool. EPA studies have also found that 10 percent of homes have leaks that waste more than 90 gallons per day, which is almost 33,000 gallons a year. Check faucets and showerheads for leaks and call a local
plumbing company to get things fixed. One drip per second can waste more than 2,000 gallons per year, enough to flush a toilet 1,300 times.
Directory of
If faucets or showerheads are very old, replace them with low-flow models. Call a plumber to fix toilets that run constantly. This
could waste up to 200 gallons of water every day. Replace ancient toilets with low-flow models that use no more than 1.6 gallons per flush. Inefficient Water Heating. Since water heating can absorb as much as 25 percent of a home’s energy budget, stop wasting energy with inefficient water heating equipment. Ask your plumber to calculate if your water heating equipment is the right size for your household and lifestyle. Consider the possibility that one or more ondemand tankless water heaters may be an option. Low Water Pressure. Stop putting up with lousy water
pressure. Ask your plumber to investigate the cause and determine what needs to be done to turn the trickles into cleansing flows. Help The Elderly. If you have senior citizens in your household, install grab bars, levered faucets and other accommodations that help avoid injury and inconvenience to elderly loved ones. While not all of these solutions will apply to every household, making a few changes today may save you money and stress in the long run. n Courtesy of Marklein Plumbing.
