Veteran Honored at Washington, D.C., War Memorial
Idyllwild Festival to Feature Film by Julian Resident
By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal
By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal
arrison Park resident Bob Malmeritch began his stint in the United States Coast Guard in 1943 patrolling a fivemile stretch of the Northern California coast on horseback. By the time he completed his service in 1946, he had been assigned to a Liberty Ship and had carried out some 20 trips across the Atlantic Ocean transporting military troops and equipment to the shores of Europe during World Word II. After his discharge, Malmeritch went on with his life as many vets did, going on to raise families, attend college under the GI Bill and work to earn a living in the country they had proudly served. These veterans often did not give much thought to their hero status or talk about military life. Recently, Malmeritch had an opportunity to reconsider the value of the sacrifice he made for his country when he was able to travel with about 85
The clock started at 7 p.m. on a Friday night, and before the earth spun twice on its axis, Pine Hills resident Terry Ross, co-owner of Life In Reels Productions, and her team of 50, produced a comedy short for the 48 Hour Film Project in San Diego. Her film, “The Last Resort,” won the Spirit Award as the film that best exemplified teamwork and creativity. It was the Audience Choice runner-up at the 48 HFP Festival and went on to be included in the Best of 48 Hour Films for a screening at the 2014 San Diego Film A poster for “The Last Resort” has an authentic 1960s feel.

financial limitations. In 2005, retired Air Force Captain Earl Morse founded Honor Flights Network to create a way for these vets to see the memorial built in their honor. Soon, hubs sprang up around the nation, enabling vets all around the country to travel to Washington, D.C., at no cost. Established a few years ago, Honor Flights San Diego serves San Diego-area vets. Those who want to make a Tour of Honor trip must submit an application and wait for an opening. Two annual Honor Flights from San Diego provide volunteer guardians to travel with the veterans and take care of all the details.

the veterans to open and read during the flight. Malmeritch’s guardian, Donna Hester, arranged for letters from his nine children and even a recognition from Hidden Hills, Calif., where he had served on the city council and as mayor many years ago. The 48-hour whirlwind excursion included a visit to all nine war memorials, the Washington Navy Yard museum, meals, local transportation and accommodations. Malmeritch liked seeing the sights, spending time with other veterans and getting to know Hester and her husband.
“We were overwhelmed with Bob’s extensive knowledge about the war,” said Hester. She documented special moments during the trip so Malmeritch could simply focus on enjoying the meaningful experience. She collected the photos in an album, which she sent to him after the trip. Considering that he lost all of his photos in the Cedar fire, the new album is a special remembrance. “By the time they are on their way home, the veterans have bonded and have a lot to talk about,” said Hester. “They share war memories with each other, some talking about them for the first time.” After the veterans’ return flight, a thousand people

packed the lobby of San Diego International Airport to welcome them home. USO members, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and school groups — cheering, clapping, waving flags and holding military photos of the veterans — displayed gratitude to the heroes. Typical of the humility that marks their generation, the returning veterans wondered why all the fuss. The welcome home gave Malmeritch a sense of how deeply the nation still values his service all those years ago. “Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, military groups and a lot of people showed up,” said Malmeritch. “Little kids hand you a flag and a lapel pin. You figure, well, there’s hope.” n

three teens and took them into custody in the early morning hours of Sunday, Dec. 7. In the weeks and months leading up to the arrest, local sheriffs set a goal and made a plan to catch those responsible for the crimes. Working in cooperation with JUHS Principal/Superintendent David Schlottman, deputies stepped up surveillance and security procedures while the school board upgraded security systems with cameras and lighting at the school, increasing the odds that the vandals would be caught before long. While on surveillance at 2 a.m. the day of the arrests, Farr called in deputies when he observed two people in the act of spray-painting graffiti on school property. A foot chase ensued as deputies closed in. The first suspect was in custody within an hour of the initial observation. Through diligent police work two more suspects were arrested and taken into custody by 5 a.m.
Julian has the advantage of having four resident deputy sheriffs and CHP officers who know the community well and who have a vested interest in keeping it safe. Their combined knowledge of neighborhoods and relationships in the community facilitate the gathering of intelligence and enable them to put pieces together and create a picture of what is happening. Because it is their community, too, they’re willing to do whatever it takes to solve crimes. “Anybody who thinks they’re going to get away with doing this kind of damage, they may get away with it at first, but we’re going to catch them,” said Deputy Rembold, who worked on the case. He also credits the community for helping throughout the investigation. “We couldn’t have done it without the cooperation of Mr. Schlottman and the school board,” he said. It wasn’t just the school

administration that rose to the occasion. When administrators got to school on Monday morning, there were offers from no fewer than five local families who wanted to volunteer to clean up the graffiti — one even offering to pay for a power washer to get the job done. However, considering the amount and type of damage, professional help was advised. Eager to move on past the offensive incident and to not give undue attention to the criminal activity, Schlottman had a crew removing the graffiti by Monday morning after the arrest. The school’s insurance company covered the $40,000 cost to replace broken windows, repair locks, clean up the silicon dust from the fire extinguishers and remove the graffiti that covered several exterior walls, windows and sidewalks. The school did have to pay a $1,000 deductible, which Schlottman will seek to have recouped as part of the restitution when the case goes before a judge. Since the school contracts with insurance through a big consortium, rates are not likely to go up as a result of the claim. “This incident was an unfortunate disappointment, and the people who did this are not representative of our students,” said Schlottman, who also expressed relief that the worst is over and gratitude to the sheriffs who made the arrests. n JANUARY 1, 2015

ulian’s Steve Logan can live out a dream in June because he’s been invited to drive his sprint car on the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He’ll join hundreds of others taking part in the Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational June 10 to 14, when they test their skills on the historic 2.5mile track. It’ll rekindle some memories for 68-year-old Logan, who was born in
And, he’ll campaign and exhibit both cars later on a tour of short tracks in the Midwest, which will include Anderson and Terre Haute in Indiana, and Belleville, Kan.

Instead, he chose a career on two wheels, working 30 years as a California Highway Patrol motorcycle cop, patrolling the backcountry and Borrego Springs. “My wife, Roxie, and I will drive our motor home back there,” he said. “We have an enclosed trailer for the midget and sprint car.” Logan recently moved back to Julian after living four years in Lake Havasu where he spent considerable time practicing on the racetrack there. “Last year was the first time the vintage cars were given the chance to drive at Indianapolis Speedway,” he said. “That’s when I found out I could drive
my sprinter there. “For three days, we’ll be able to run for 20 minutes each time — once in the morning, once in the afternoon — going as fast as it is safe with our fuel-injected Roller 350.” He figures he’ll be joined by more than 20 other “Walter Mitty” types with a heavy foot. The event will showcase a wide variety of oval racecars, including many that competed in Indianapolis 500s. Other vintages will be from NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series, Formula One, Grand-Am, SCCA and Trans-Am. The popular Indy Legends Pro-Am Charity race will return on June 13, pairing veteran Indianapolis 500 drivers with amateur racing partners for a 45-minute race on the road course. Cars competing in the Legends Pro-Am Charity race will be 1963-72 Ford Mustangs and Chevrolet Corvettes and Camaros. You might say Logan will be surrounded by a lot of talent. n

He coached both girls and boys track and cross country. As head coach, his teams won a combined 19 championships. Porter came to coaching with an unusual point of view. He recalled his own academic difficulty at the Army and Navy Academy. “School was a struggle for me in my early years. I was a poor reader, speller and not good with numbers.” But he discovered he could run fast, setting a school record in the 660-yard run. The victory sparked his attitude toward himself and his teachers. “I went on to be a successful track athlete at the academy, which was my ticket to higher personal self-worth.” The can-do attitude informed

Many guests shared their ideas or concerns with Senator Anderson, and for those who wished, their meeting was followed by a photo opportunity with the senator. Attendees had the opportunity to taste a variety of different plates and to listen to East County Youth Symphony’s beautiful tunes.

Unique New Year’s Traditions from Across the World
Some people may find it strange to withstand freezing temperatures and gusty winds for hours on end just to stand in the center of Times Square in New York City to catch a glimpse of a bejeweled ball drop at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. Yet this tradition may seem tame when compared to other unique rituals that take place around the world come New Year’s Eve. North Americans may be singing “Auld Lang Syne” and toasting to good fortune with a glass of bubbly, but elsewhere traditions can be somewhat more eccentric. In some spots of South America, for example, revelers put on brightly colored underwear to ring in the New Year. Red underpants signal a person looking for love, while yellow means they’re seeking money. The following are some other unique New Year’s traditions. · Tossing the dishes: In Denmark, individuals toss dishes at other people’s front doors. Those who end up with the greatest number of broken dishes at their home’s threshold are considered lucky, as they have an abundance of loyal friends. · Right foot: Start off the new year on the right foot by literally stepping forward with your right foot at exactly 12 a.m. in Argentina. · Burning in effigy: People in Ecuador burn photographs and paper-filled scarecrows at midnight. This is to look away from the past and bring good fortune for the future. · Good grapes: Spain residents attempt to stuff 12 grapes in their mouths at midnight. If they are successful, they are expected to achieve good luck for the next year. · Dressing in white: Residents of Brazil dress all in white on New Year’s Eve to ward away bad spirits. Many also gather at the beach to toss floral offerings into the water to appease the goddess Yemaja, in the hopes she will grant them requests for the upcoming year. · Good travels: In Colombia, people walk around JANUARY 1, 2015
their blocks with empty suitcases to encourage traveling in the new year. · Ringing bells: Japanese ring all of their bells 108 times in accordance with the Buddhist belief that this will bring cleanliness. People in Japan also believe it is good luck to begin the new year smiling. · Putting up your dukes: Every year at the end of December, people in a small Peruvian village engage in fist fights to settle all of their differences. Afterward, they begin the new year with a clean slate. · First foot: Immediately after the clock strikes 12, the people of Scotland start firstfooting. This means being the first person across a friend or neighbor’s threshold bearing gifts of food, whiskey and financial prosperity. People in Greece celebrate in much the same way via the tradition of Pothariko. · Molten tin: In Finland, residents find the nearest piece of tin to melt. The molten tin is poured into a horseshoe-shaped ladle and then dropped into cold water. The random shapes that form are interpreted in various ways to indicate what’s to come in the year ahead. · Feats of skill: Single women in Belarus spend New Year’s Eve hoping to increase their odds of getting married. Ladies compete in games to see who will be the next to get hitched. These games may include seeing who will be the first to be approached by a rooster. The winner is the next person to become betrothed. · Appliance toss: In downtown Johannesburg, South African locals throw old appliances out of their windows to ring in the new year. · All things round: Roundshaped foods are served and consumed in the Philippines. Filipinos believe round shapes that represent coins symbolize prosperity. From suitcase to fistfights to eating round fruits, the traditions of welcoming the new year are varied around the world. n

Cyber-Security Expert Says ‘Safeguard Your Information’ By Gary S. Miliefsky
W
e’ve all lost our identity at least three times, says Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a consumer advocacy nonprofit. More than 930 million records have been breached, lost or stolen to hackers and cyber-criminals. Why don’t we do all we can to stay safer online? According to staysafeonline.org, more than a quarter of Americans say they lack the information necessary. So, here is everything you need to know to enjoy the shopping experience without losing your privacy and identity or putting your children’s safety at risk: • Assume you’ve already been compromised. Whether it’s your baby monitor, your smart TV, the webcam on your laptop or apps you installed on your smartphone or tablet, your antivirus is not enough protection. It’s time to take those devices’ and apps’ privacy policies, and the permissions you grant them, much more seriously. • Change your passwords — all of them. Do it now, and do it as frequently as you can tolerate. Also, if you don’t want to change it often, then use any unique characters you can think of, such as a dollar sign or exclamation mark, or replace an “O” with a “zero.” This goes a long way in preventing attacks against your password. • Turn off wireless and geolocation services. Protect your smartphones and tablets by turning off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and GPS, except when you need them. That way, if you are at a local coffee shop or in a shopping mall, no one can spy on you using a near-vicinity hacking attack, and they can’t track where you were and where you are going on your GPS. • Assume most of your apps are creepware. Do you really need them? Delete all of the apps you don’t use often. Replace apps that ask for too many permissions and take advantage of too many of your privacy settings, such as GPS, phone and SMS logs, and personal identity information — with similar apps that don’t. • Opt out of sharing your information. Opt out of every advertising network that you can. Visit the National Do Not Call Registry at www. donotcall.gov and register your smartphone and home phone numbers. If you use a Google email account and have an Android phone, even with your GPS off, it’s tracking your every move. Go into your smartphone or tablet settings and turn off this feature. In your Android phone, go to Settings, then Location, select Google Location

Popular Ornaments Show Scenes of Nation’s Capital By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal
A
clever idea for holiday collectibles started 34 years ago and is still going strong. It’s the White House ornaments series that are sold through local post offices. Each one depicts a prominent feature of the nation’s capital or historic event associated with Washington, D.C. This year’s ornament is in two pieces: a train locomotive and passenger car honoring the administration of Warren G. Harding, who served as president from 1921-23. It is a replica of “The Presidential Special,” the train that carried President Harding west at the beginning of his transcontinental speaking and sightseeing tour. Another 2014 ornament is of Truman’s Balcony, added to the White House by President Harry S Truman, the 33rd president of the United States from 1945-53. Truman’s proposal for the balcony met with much disapproval nationwide. He was so determined to replace the canvas canopies on the south face of the White House that he ended up pay-

P
ing for it himself at a cost of $16,050.74. It was the first exterior change to the White House in 117 years. The White House, shown in a globelike setting, is the central point of the 2013 ornament. It honors President Woodrow Wilson, who served two terms of office from 1913-21. The 28th president was noted for winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919. It was President Wilson’s extraordinary quest for a lasting world peace that inspired the design of the 2013 ornament. It also shows the American elm tree planted on the north lawn in 1918 by President Wilson. Abraham Lincoln, the nation’s 16th president, was honored in 2009 for the 200th anniversary of his birth, Feb. 12, 1809. The ornament depicts the Lincoln Memorial that is one of the most visited points of interest on the National Mall in the nation’s capital. The ornaments may still be available at local post offices, if they didn’t sell out before Christmas. If not, check online at www.whitehouse giftshop.com. n
White House holiday ornaments shown here are, top, Abraham Lincoln Memorial celebrating the 200th year of his birth; bottom left, memorials for Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln; and bottom right, commemorating the Truman Balcony on the White House.

What’s New in Medicare for 2015?
art B costs will remain the same as in 2014, which is good news for people with Medicare in 2015. Medicare Part B helps pay for doctor bills, outpatient care, durable medical equipment, and other items. It requires a monthly premium and an annual deductible. Part B costs
for 2015 will be identical to 2014: $104.90 a month for the premium (for most beneficiaries), and $147 for the deductible. Most people with Medicare don’t pay any premium for Part A, which helps covers hospital care. But for those who do, the 2015 premium is dropping, from a maximum of $426 per month to $407 per month. The
annual deductible is going up a little, from $1,216 in 2014 to $1,260 in 2015. Once you pay the deductible, Medicare covers your first 60 days of hospitalization with no coinsurance. People with Medicare no longer have co-pays for a long list of Medicare-covered preventive health services, such as shots and screenings intended to keep you healthy and to detect disease in the earliest stages, when it’s most treatable. Services include vaccinations for flu and hepatitis B; screenings for colorectal, breast and prostate cancer; screenings and counseling for diabetes and depression; cardiovascular disease screenings; and counseling to help you stop smoking or abusing alcohol. In addition, you can get a one-time “Welcome to Medicare” visit with your doctor during the first 12 months you’re enrolled in Part B. During this visit you and your doctor can review your medical and social history, and your physician can recommend specific preventive screenings for you, if needed.
Medicare also now covers an annual wellness visit with your doctor, which is intended to develop or update a personalized plan to prevent disease or disability based on your current health and risk factors. Another benefit is a gradual closing of the “donut hole,” or coverage gap, in Medicare Part D, the prescription drug program. The coverage gap begins after you and your drug plan together have spent a certain amount for covered drugs. In 2015, once you enter the gap, you pay 45 percent of the plan’s cost for covered brandname drugs and 65 percent of the plan’s cost for covered generic drugs until you reach the end of the gap. However, not everyone will enter the coverage gap because drug costs won’t be high enough. There’s a full explanation of the coverage gap in the “Medicare & You” handbook for 2015, which is online at www.medicare.gov/ pubs/pdf/10050.pdf. The gap is scheduled to be completely closed by 2020. Finally, Medicare has expanded its “Blue Button” feature to
provide better access to your Medicare claims and personal health information. With the Blue Button, you can download 12 to 36 months of claims information for Part A and Part B, and 12 months of claims information for Part D. This information can help you make more informed decisions about your care and give your healthcare providers a more complete view of your health history. You can find the Blue Button at www.my medicare.gov. Once you’ve used the Blue Button, there are health applications and services to analyze your health information. Visit www.bluebutton connector.healthit.gov to learn about these useful tools and how to protect your health information once it’s in your hands. n

Ring in the New Year with Your Pet
• Get more exercise. Did you know pets can decrease our blood pressure and cholesterol levels and increase our opportunities for exercise, outdoor activities and socialization? Exercising together will not only help optimize your health but also allow you to spend more time together.
t’s the time of year when people make resolutions to become stronger and healthier. So why not make resolutions that will mutually benefit yourself and your pet? Here are some ideas to help you and yours have the best year yet. • Eat more fresh food. This may seem like an easy resolution. However, it takes time and preparation. For humans, this means incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your diet. For pets, this means ensuring that their pet food uses ingredients such as fresh turkey, salmon and duck,
fresh omega 3 and 6 oils (from coconuts and canola), and wholesome fruits and vegetables.
• Use that agenda. This doesn’t seem like a resolution, but sometimes making a plan is the only way resolutions will come to life. Most of us schedule time for other appointments and meetings, so why not set aside some priority time for pets, too? n
Cyber-Security Continued from page 13
give out about where you are located, the safer you are. • Don’t use cash or debit cards — use credit cards, wisely. Credit cards allow you to travel with less cash, and if you’re purchasing online, it’s safer to give your credit card than your debit card information. The same holds true when you visit your local retail outlet. The reason? If you experience identity theft, credit card laws allow you to keep all of your
credit, with no responsibility during an investigation. With a debit card, your bank can tie up your money in the amount equivalent to the fraudulent transactions for up to 30 days. n
