Mountain Bikers Train Hard to Go Fast By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal
T
o qualify for a place on Team Gold takes grit, as students on the Julian Junior High and Julian Union High School mountain biking team must be able to complete a tricky, two-lap course with a steep 45-degree incline in Julian’s backcountry. Coach Chad Leptich designed the course to test athletes’ readiness to be independent on a mountain bike on any hill they might encounter in a race situation. It takes more than strength, energy and determination to climb the slippery gravel slope — not once, but twice. Bikers must have technical know-how, ability and a can-do mental outlook to achieve this first physical feat and many that will come after it in their racing careers. As seventh-grader Nat Copeland explains, there is a psychological effect to facing
a hill that at first glance seems impossible to conquer. “It’s a mental challenge,” he says. “If you have the confidence, you can do it.” Copeland, who is eager to be a first-class cyclist, has it in his blood. He is the grandson of Vic Copeland, medal-winning cyclist for the U.S. Postal Service team, who once was named the “world’s greatest over-35 bike racer” and who recently earned gold in the UCI World Masters Track Cycling Championship in the Men’s Sprint for over 70. The elder Copeland donated some of his medals to the team, which Coach Leptich gives to each youth with an inscription once they complete the twolap course. In order to get in enough training and still have time for homework and other activities, team members meet in the training room at Julian Elementary School at 5:45 a.m. three mornings a week, where they follow training videos

and work out on stationary resistance bicycles. “While the rest of the town is sleeping, we’re up in the morning, making our dreams come true,” said ninth-grader Ethan Elisara. Elisara recently took fourth place in a field of more than

pring is a good time to tackle those chores you have been putting off — like cleaning out your pantry and kitchen cabinets. It is time to get on your knees and pull out some of those items you stuffed into the back recesses of your cabinets years ago! Drag out those old frying pans, worn-out mixing bowls, and crazy, useless tools you bought from some late-night TV ad pitchman. It is time to fix the sticky drawer guides, the loose hinges, and the broken tiles at the corners of your countertops, and the leaky faucet that you hate because you can’t fit your pasta pot under it. Or, maybe it is time to consider updating your 40-year-old kitchen altogether! The poor thing has kinda lost its mojo! But, you don’t know anything about kitchen remodeling, and so whom do you trust? Here’s a thought! Stop by Kitchen Barn at Eighth and Main in downtown

United Methodist Women to Host Fundraiser
By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal
It’s one of the hottest tickets in town. “Lilacs and Lace” is the theme of this year’s annual fashion show presented by United Methodist Women, with two seatings on Tuesday, April 28, at Community United Methodist Church on Highway 78 at Pine Hills Road. For more than 30 years, the UMW has presented the show to raise money for their local mission endeavors. Guests at the early show, which often sells out, will enjoy an elegant luncheon prepared by Julian Tea & Cottage Arts while previewing the latest spring
fashions from Kathy’s Dress Shop and the Mountain Gypsy. The evening show will feature a dessert menu along with the fashion parade. The fashion show is not only a great opportunity to help support the important UMW causes that help women and children both locally and abroad, but a chance to visit with friends and neighbors and get an up-close and personal look at beautiful clothes and accessories from some of the finest clothing shops in Julian. Models dressed head-to-toe in stylish clothes and accessories move among the tables to give each guest a close-up look at the styles.
Mountain Bikers
Tickets must be purchased in advance at Julian Tea & Cottage Arts at 2124 Third St. in
Garnette Welch will be on hand to describe each piece in detail in what will undoubtedly be an entertaining presentation. All of the styles will be available for purchase at the stores the day after the event. The luncheon show will begin at 11:30 a.m., with a menu to include strawberry spinach salad, chicken salad puffs, and a pastry cone filled with egg salad and garnished with parsley and fresh fruit, followed by lavender peach sorbet paired with a lavender shortbread cookie. The dessert show will start at 7 p.m., where guests will be treated to a selection of pies and homemade chocolates.

transportation when he lived in the city, being part of Team Gold has given him a chance to learn how to ride in the hills and on the dirt paths of his new rural environment. “I know that practicing over time will better my ability,” he says. “Also, I like being at school in the morning.” Ryan Lay, Corey’s older brother and fellow team member, says he feels refreshed and ready to face the school day after an early morning workout. Not all of the training is theoretical, however. Two days a week, the team trains out on the trail with Coach Rich Wolf. Then, about a week before each race, they travel to the race site for a “preride” to get to know the course. On the day of the race, they arrive early enough to complete a
30-minute warm-up. The Julian team will have a distinct advantage as they head into the next event at Castaic Lake. As two of the top-15 finishers in the VLC — Elisara, along with sophomore David Stringfellow, who finished sixth, even though he started the VLC at the back of the pack — earned the Homes • right to be called up for early staging in the next race. That means they have the edge of a starting position ahead of the crowd of cyclists. With two-thirds of the season still ahead of them, Team Gold is off to a great start. n

‘Charley’s Aunt’ a Smashing Success
By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal
T
hreats of bad weather did not intimidate theatergoers, as the cast of “Charley’s Aunt” played to a nearly packed house for each of three performances last month in the Julian Union High School Little Theater. Student actors deftly delivered their lines in a play filled with physical comedy, humorous innuendo and plot twists galore. The audience laughed
throughout each performance and rewarded the players with standing ovations at the curtain calls, applauding the show’s success. In her directorial debut, Sonja Kodimer took to the stage, welcomed the audience and spoke of the significance of the moment in having a play staged at the Little Theater after a four-year hiatus. She invited the audience to stay informed about what is happening in the

For a few hours each evening, the talented students brought to life characters of 1800s British society. Lovestruck aristocratic college chums “Jack” and “Charley” were played with intense emotion by Vlad Wong and Alec Helm. Randy Burke hilariously portrayed “Babbs,” the friend they recruited to impersonate Charley’s aunt at a luncheon so they could woo the recipients of their devotion.

Mickayla McDowell and Vivian Aranda, tenderly rendered a relationship born of mutual affection. Stage manager Alyssa Lucas and crewmembers Liliana Lopez, Nellie Vanderstaay and Bowen Madison supported the success of the production by helping with makeup, keeping props and costumes organized, and nimbly changing the sets between scenes. A concession stand, sales of T-shirts and pre-sales of DVDs of the play helped raise money for future arts programs for JUHS students. With healthy ticket sales and low production costs, the show created a nest egg of about $2,000. After the show, the community mingled at Miner’s Diner to revel in the excitement of the evening. Patrons at the crowded restaurant cheered each time cast members entered during the course of the evening. Kodimer, the last to arrive, walked in to applause that prompted a speech of gratitude and hope for the rebirth of the drama program at JUHS.

Protect Yourself Against Medicare ‘Gaps’

edicare helps to pay for a wide variety of health services, from flu shots to hospital stays and hospice care. But it doesn’t cover everything. And it doesn’t cover all your out-ofpocket costs. Many services covered by Medicare require co-payments, coinsurance and deductibles. You can purchase supplemental insurance to cover these “gaps” in Medicare. Such insurance is called Medicare Supplement Insurance, or Medigap. Some Medigap policies also cover certain benefits that Medicare doesn’t, like emergency care in a foreign country. If you have Medicare and you buy a Medigap policy, Medicare will pay its share of the Medicare-approved amount for covered health services, then your Medigap policy pays its share. You have to pay for Medigap yourself, and it’s sold through private insurance companies. You can buy it only if you have traditional Medicare, not Medicare Advantage, which is managed care provided by private insurers. Every Medigap policy has to follow federal and state laws designed to protect you. Medigap insurance companies can sell you only a “standardized” Medigap policy identified in most states by the letters A through D, F through G, and K through N. Each stan-
dardized policy must offer the same basic benefits, no matter which company sells it. So beware when you’re shopping for a Medigap policy: Cost is usually the only difference between Medigap policies with the same letter sold by different companies. And there can be significant differences in how much various insurers charge for exactly the same coverage. Here are some of the costs that Medigap policies often cover: · Medicare Part A (hospital) coinsurance and hospital costs for up to 365 days after Medicare benefits run out · Medicare Part B (medical) coinsurance or co-pays · Blood (first three pints) · Part A hospice care coinsurance or co-pays · Skilled nursing facility coinsurance · Part A and Part B deductibles Medigap policies generally don’t cover long-term care (like care in a nursing home), vision or dental, hearing aids, eyeglasses and private‑duty nursing. The best time to buy a Medigap policy is during your six-month Medigap open enrollment period, because you can buy any Medigap policy sold in your state, even if you have health problems. This period automatically starts the month you turn 65 and are enrolled in Medicare Part B, and once it’s over, you

can’t get it again. Medigap insurance companies are generally allowed to use medical underwriting to decide whether to accept your application and how much to charge you for the Medigap policy. However, if you apply during your Medigap open enrollment period, you can buy any Medigap policy the company sells, even if you have health problems, for the same price as people with good health. Some other points to keep in mind: · You must have Medicare Part A and Part B to buy a Medigap policy · A Medigap policy only covers one person. If you and your spouse both
want Medigap coverage, you must each buy a separate policy · You pay the private insurer a monthly premium for your Medigap policy, in addition to the monthly Part B premium that you pay to Medicare · Any standardized Medigap policy is guaranteed renewable even if you have health problems. This means the insurance company can’t cancel your Medigap policy as long as you pay the premium. n David Sayen is Medicare’s regional administrator for Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada and the Pacific Territories.
YANA Program Provides Personal Safeguard for Seniors and the Disabled By Jim Evans ~ the journal
Nobody seems to know exactly when YANA started, but the You Are Not Alone (YANA) program has been around in various forms for a long time in San Diego County and in other cities around the country. Surprisingly, most people are not aware of it. In San Diego, the program is administered by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department via its Senior Volunteer Patrol (SVP), providing personal calls and/or visits by a Volunteer Patrol Team every week to disabled and home-bound seniors living by themselves. The visits are designed to be social, where the volunteers interact with
residents to let them know that they are not alone in their daily lives. Many of these individuals might be managing to get along on a day-today basis but may have medical issues that could become a crisis without someone checking in on them regularly. Local residents who know someone who lives alone with no friends or family to check on their welfare may contact the Senior Volunteer office at 760-765-2719, or call the County’s Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) office at 858-505-6399. The service is free. n

F
uture Farmers of America students from Julian Union High School recently traveled with their livestock to the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Western Bonanza Livestock Show as part of their training to bring their animals to market. FFA advisor Dale Fullerton took three students and four black crossbred steers to the high-powered event. It gave them a chance to compete in a real-world situation and see how the professionals run a show. “It was a good experience for the students to see another part of the state and get a picture of agriculture outside of San Diego County,” said Fullerton. One of the benefits of attending the Cal Poly show is that students get a chance to receive feedback from judges on ways they could improve the presentation of their animals in the arena. This gives them time to make whatever adjustments are needed to be successful when they actually bring their animals to auction. Sophomore Zachary Schuett brought his steer to the livestock show and spent three days in the barn, working with him and grooming him with products to make his hair stay up just right. Schuett spends a
position of a perfect rectangle for inspection by the judges. Ag education through the FFA program at JUHS provides an occasion for high-schoolers to develop valuable life skills and participate in leadership opportunities. n

Resetco has spent 20 years as a board member. She was the membership chair, in charge of plaques, and served on the Highway Pickup Committee when it was in effect. She has also been an active member of Julian Pioneer Museum for 20 years. Resetco says she especially enjoyed picking wildflowers for the annual Wildflower Show.

She then carried the yarn over to the Wolf Den, where she found more than a dozen eager participants for her project. They considered what objects should be wrapped.

countless images of objects covered in colorfully knitted, custom-fitted cozies, from street lights and park benches to cathedral steps, as “yarn bombing” has caught the attention of artists and art lovers around the globe. Whether on a small or a grand scale, these creations transform public spaces into whimsical art installations. Led by Tonya Gadbois, assistant branch manager of Julian Branch Library, students at Julian Junior High School (JJHS) recently “yarn bombed” the entrance to the Wolf Den as part of the library’s monthly arts and crafts program. The library brings these activities to the school site, because some students can’t always get to the library due to transportation issues. In this way, library program attendance is increased, and kids get a chance to participate in worthwhile activities. Gadbois came up with the yarn bomb concept while browsing the Internet for ideas she thought might engage the youth in creativity. “I saw these fabulous pictures of trees covered in colors and thought this would be so fun to do with the library,” she said. To get the project off the ground, Gadbois posted a sign at the library requesting donations of yarn. The community responded by raiding their stashes of leftover balls of yarn, and supplied her with more than enough to get the job done. MARCH 26, 2015

A History-making Ace
n an attempt to mold a golf team with players who have never touched a club before, sometimes there is a bright spot. As it was for Julian Union High School golfers, when it came in the form of a holein-one by second-year team member Zach Schuett during a practice in Borrego Springs. Witnesses to this historic occasion were Coach John Dawson and team partners Richard Braun and Sara Rott. “When the ball was in the air, I said, ‘That looks pretty good,’” said the coach. “When it landed on the green, I was ready to say that’s close. But it took one bounce, hit the flagstick and dropped into the hole. “There was dead silence before everyone danced around, high-fiving Zach.” Zach used a pitching wedge for the par 3, 115-yard hole. “Normally, you’re not quite sure where Zach’s drives will go,” the coach added. Dawson, a retired construc-
tion contractor from Alpine, can attest to the highs and lows, hooks and slices of coaching the golf team over 17 years, but looks upon the assignment as fulfilling and fun. The rest of the time he devotes to his properties and projects. His wife, Marrietta, has been a first-grade teacher in Julian for 33 years. As he has done so often in the past, Dawson is calling for parents to come to the rescue. He needs players. “Just call athletic director Tim White at the school,” he said. “But we need more golfers for our practices on Borrego courses. Meeting grade standards is important. “We have all the equipment, and I have a modest budget to take care of things, including a recent purchase of left-handed clubs.” It’s tough for his players to qualify for CIF competition, although it has happened in the past.

“Our season, which involves 10 matches, is conducted in April,” he said. “So March is busy with practice. They let us play on all the courses in Borrego, and that’s pretty cool.” Dawson said his first golf involvement was with his son. “When my son graduated from high school, they asked me to be the coach,” he added. There is one girl on the team this year, because there’s not enough for a girls’ team to play in the fall. Despite the travel time, Dawson can still describe it as a “pretty fun job.”
Points for Knowledge There’s a county league that doesn’t receive much media attention. There are no balls, bats or hoops. Maybe that’s why. It’s called the Academic League, where high-schoolers test their knowledge in the fields of history, math, science and current events. They even conduct decathlons where nine-member teams compete in 10 different academic events, including seven written tests in art, economics, language, literature, math, music, social science and science; and three communication levels in interview and prepared and impromptu speeches. The topper is the Super Quiz, a College Bowl-type skirmish. The County Board of Education established a common scoring system. A correct tossup is worth three points, with bonuses awarded from one to five points. Shutouts are rare. It’s usually a “Jeopardy type” battle for a 20-minute limit. Alertness, quickness and knowledge will produce “home runs” or “touchdowns” in this league. The family cheers may not resound like those coming from football stadiums. But they are there. n MARCH 26, 2015

Out of the Box Players Present ‘Outrageous Fortune’
“Outrageous Fortune,” an ambitious production from Out of the Box Players, will debut April 17, with six performances over two weekends. The play, written by Rebecca Salomonsson and directed by Juliana Stewart, boasts a 29-member cast.
The premise is that characters from Shakespearean tragedies are set in a self-help group in the 1980s. “We have cast members from Julian, Ramona, Poway and San Diego,” says Stewart. “A diverse and exciting cast of talented adults and youths.”
Performances will take place at 321 12th St., Ramona, from April 17 to 19 and 24 to 26, with shows at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 3 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $5. Doors open 30 minutes before show time.
