Feeding America Supplements Food Bills for Local Families

colorful semi-truck rolls into town every other Wednesday, hauling enough food for 500 people in Julian and Shelter Valley. Feeding America has been servicing this area for the past two years. “It’s for everyone,” said coordinator Laura Silveria. “We don’t turn anybody away. There’s always seniors or handicapped people or people with little babies. They are great people.” There are two trucks serving about a dozen communities participating in the program in North and East counties. Silveria, now a Ramona resident, was instrumental in bringing Feeding America to Julian. She also helped the program set up in Campo and Jacumba when she lived in those areas. Each family, regardless of the number of people, receives the same amount of food every two weeks. It doesn’t matter if

chance to instill values she felt were lacking in public schools. For her part, Selah noticed a misconception exists among public school friends that learning at home isn’t “real” or “serious.” “These friends would be surprised to know how serious home-school really is,”
It’s not uncommon today to encounter people who make the unconventional choice to pass on the public school system in favor of a personalized education for their families. There are many reasons families choose home-schooling. For some, it’s the flexible schedule, while others want curriculum choices adapted to their child’s needs and family’s values. All homeschool families, however, must comply with state regulations and curriculum guidelines and be ready to face the challenges and reap the rewards of being Sandra Sladkey and daughter Selah go over some both parent and home-school lessons.

select group of eighth-graders at Julian Junior High School called the PLUS Team have made a considerable commitment to improve campus life for the children at Julian Elementary School (JES). These student leaders are part of Peer Leaders Uniting Students, a nationwide program designed to teach positive character traits and to identify and resolve student conflicts when they inevitably arise. To be chosen for one of ten positions on the PLUS Team, each student
held during summer break. When school started in the fall, they devoted one period of each school day for three months to continued training, planning and implementation of the program at the elementary school. In addition, PLUS Team members spend their lunch recess on the JES campus interacting with the younger students to establish bonds, be role models and observe playground dynamics with an eye toward heading off or solving problems between students. On a rotating schedule, sub-groups of the PLUS Team meet with 10 elementary students

Young Musicians Entertain Julian Merchants
A
By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal
group of young musicians from the backcountry added a festive note to the December Julian Chamber of Commerce Merchants Association breakfast at Pine Hills Lodge. The youth are part of a brand-new afterschool music program called “Julian Jam,” where fourth- through eighth-graders had a chance to study choral singing, and woodwind, brass, percussion, keyboard and guitar playing. The weekly program is broken into two, 45-minute sessions where participants chose to study one or two different disciplines, depending on their interest. The students, some of whom started the program in October with no music experience, performed a selection of folk and holiday songs in each of the musical disciplines to an appreciative audience. The performance opened with the guitar students, led by Janice Smith, playing the folk tune “Skip to My Lou” and the “Happy Birthday” song. Rusty and Tobin Shriver followed with a spirited trumpet duet of “Kookaburra” in rounds and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” and Taylor Cole played “Jingle Bells” on clarinet. Britney Vickers and Michael Antal, under the tutelage of Diane Zielinski,

and playing music. “It was really inspiring and a lot of fun. My teacher was wonderful,” she said. The first semester of the Julian Jam music program culminated in a very successful public performance. The program will resume in January and will be open to new and returning students

each played a solo of “Joy to the World” on keyboard. The choral group, under the direction of Garnette Welsh, sang “Joy to the World” a cappella. The program concluded with a sweet rendition of “What Child is This?” sung by the choral group and accompanied by percussion students on orchestra bells, led by teachers Buddy Seifert and Lisa Smith. The idea for Julian Jam was born when two Cadette Girl Scouts, Kaleigh Kaltenthaler and Taylor Cole, decided to use their mutual love for music to create an afterschool music program in order to earn their Silver Award. The girls raised funds, sought out teachers, registered students, secured instruments and practiced with their classmates to bring the program to life. Ed Glass of Butterfield Bed

and Breakfast, who said he thoroughly enjoyed the performance from start to finish, sees this as a rebirth of a musical program in Julian. “It used to be accepted that there is always going to be music and the arts in education, but they have been drastically cut. I saw on the faces of those kids a joy and enthusiasm to be singing and playing music. It was exciting to see,” said Glass. Eva Cantor, a sixth-grader at Julian Junior High School, enjoyed the experience of being with her friends and teachers each week, singing

Your home works like a Team, and the kitchen is your Quarterback. How did your kitchen perform in the Big Game this past Holiday Season? Kitchen performance is especially important when family and friends are visiting and the pressure is on. You may have experienced any or all of the following problems: failing appliances, cramped quarters, traffic jams, inadequate prep space, and messy, old-fashioned countertops that are impossible to keep clean. At some point, it becomes painfully obvious, something needs to be done! But what is the first step to understanding your repair options? No doubt you are asking yourself, how much is this going to cost, and where do I start?
Though price is an important consideration, unless you have had some recent experience working with kitchen design, modern-day cabinet products, countertops, lighting, tile and appliances, you may find yourself completely overwhelmed. How would you know what pitfalls to watch out for, what questions to ask, or how to determine what really is a good price? At Kitchen Barn, we have a great staff of kitchen professionals who have decades of experience. That is something you will quickly come to appreciate. We have spent our careers building a reputation for excellent service and integrity, right here in Ramona. Our goal is to help you determine the right solution with the least amount of anxiety.

he holidays have come and gone, and now it is time to pack away the decorations and retire the tree for another season. It's also time to decide what to do with the dozens of greeting cards that arrived in the mail over the last few months. Many crafts, gifts and even boxes can be made from recycled Christmas cards and other greetings. With a little ingenuity
and effort, it's possible to create eye-catching items. Here are just a few ideas. • Cut the front panels off of the cards. Save them in an envelope for next year. When wrapping presents, use the cards as your gift tags. • Use the front panels of cards as ornaments. Use stencils and cookie cutters to trace patterns and cut them out. Punch a hole into the top of

involved lots of travel, and it made sense to bring the kids along to expand their horizons as part of their education. By the time her daughter Amy was ready for school, her sisters had left the nest, and the Klaubers thought Amy would benefit from the social environment public school provided. By the fifth grade, though, it was Amy who asked to be home-schooled, and the family agreed that her educational goals could be best met at home. Amy participated in an Independent Study Program facilitated through a private school, which helped with paperwork and transitioning
to college. After eight years of independent study at home and on the road with her family, Amy decided it was time to return to the classroom for her higher-education goals. A self-starter with a strong work ethic, Amy earns the highest scores among her classmates at college and is well on her way to a bright future. These parents-turnedteachers may have different methods and rationale, but a desire to give their children the best education possible is something they have in common with many, if not all, parents. n

A Hiking We Will Go
hen San Diegans are told to take a hike, the first reaction might be: “Let’s go to Julian. There are plenty of trails up there.” The travels, depending on hiker expertise and endurance, range from 1.8 to eight miles through some of the prettiest country you’ll want to see, with occasional fleeting wildlife, too. “Hiking exercises your body and your mind, and nourishes your imagination,” said one fitness instructor. “It creates awareness in your eyes and ears and the rest of your senses.” Experts say getting active for just 150 minutes a week — doing moderate-intensity
aerobic exercise, such as hiking or brisk walking — leads to these benefits. Check in with the Lake Cuyamaca Recreation and Park District, Laguna Mountain Volunteer Association and Volcan Mountain Foundation for recommendations Here’s a sampling of the trails around these parts: Upper Santa Ysabel Creek Trail — This is a beautiful hike. The longer route is 8.5 miles. Cedar Creek Falls Trail — Easy going down, but you forget you have to climb back out. Plenty of drinking water recommended.
Canyon Oak Trail — The short 1.25-mile route will hook up with the Desert View Trail. Desert View Trail — 2.25 miles with a panoramic scenic overlook. Kelly Ditch Trail — 5.75 miles, great for walking or riding horses. Trail connects the park with Cuyamaca Rancho State Park and Lake Cuyamaca. Paseo Nature Trail — Easy half-mile loop, scenic, level and suitable for children. Indian Trail — One easy mile, level, scenic and suitable for children. Self-guiding trail leads to an old Indian village site.
Green Valley Falls Trail — Easy .75-mile one-way, suitable for children. Well-marked seasonal waterfall. Azalea Glen Loop Trail — Moderate 4-mile loop, gain in elevation of 550 feet. Mostly shaded in summer, sheltered in winter. Walk along one of the few year-round streams. Juaquapin Trail — Moderate 3-mile scenic loop climbing via East Site Trail with the steepest return by Dyar Spring Trail. Gain in elevation of 400 feet. Conejo Spring Trail — Moderately strenuous 3.5 sometimes steep miles to summit. Gain in elevation is 1,650 feet. Rugged ascent over the north shoulder of Cuyamaca Peak. Stonewall Peak Trail — Moderate 2 miles each way, steady gain in elevation of 900 feet. Suitable for energetic youngsters.
Oakzanita Peak Trail — Moderately strenuous 8-mile loop, gain in elevation of 1,300 feet. Long, steady climb leads to extensive vistas, particularly from the peak. Volcan Trail — Three miles (to mid-summit and back) or 5 miles (to summit and back). Moderate hike through oak woodlands and grass meadowlands. Elevation gain of 800 feet. Five Oaks Trail — A 1.5mile moderate trail with a scenic view of the Pacific Ocean and the town of Julian. Coast to Crest Trail — This moderate 8.5-mile trail takes you through oak woodlands, open meadows and across the Santa Ysabel Creek. West Vista Loop — This 4.5-mile moderate trail takes you through oak woodlands, coastal sage scrub and open meadows. Connects to the Coast to Crest Trail. Trail starts off of Highway 79. n

Recalling her personal experience, Catherine Skibinski has wanted to be a PLUS Team member ever since she was a young child. “I’ve dealt with bullying when I was little,” said Skibinski. “Peer counseling helped bring out everything I was dealing with. It made it easier and mostly solved the problem. Now I get to help others.” n

electrical supplies to meet the needs of the local community. More than masonry and hardware, however, Books also offers services such as repairing electric motors, refilling propane tanks, threading pipe, cutting steel plate to size, and — get ready — after-hours service for emergencies. All you need to do is call. Business has been doubling each week as word gets out that local do-it-yourselfers no longer need to run down the hill to pick up a plumbing part, a bag of screws or a new rake. At the moment, the hardware store part of the business is still limited, but Books is putting all profits back into increased inventory, with high-quality materials largely made in the U.S.A. His ultimate goal is to build a business similar to the hardware store in Borrego Springs. Books caters both to homeowners, who may need only one of a particular item, and contractors, who require quantities of the things they need to get the job done, all at a price that makes sense. High-grade fencing, 20-foot lengths of plumbing pipe or 100-piece bags of fittings are just a few examples of what can be found at Wynola Materials. The store also stocks some essential camping gear to help out visitors who may not have come to the

It goes from the companies, out to the truck, and out to the people.” About 15 volunteers pass out the food to local recipients between 10 and 11 a.m. on the second and third Wednesdays of each month.

The truck parks at the west end of the parking lot at Julian Community Library. After Julian, driver Tony Zepeda heads down Banner Grade to Shelter Valley, where there may be another 150 people waiting in line. There is no qualifying or criteria necessary to receive the food. There are no applications to fill out. Just show up and get in line. And it’s okay to pick up for a neighbor or someone who is unable to turn out on a particular day. Silveria said there is always a need for volunteers to help bag the food, carry bags to someone’s car or just be a greeter. If, by chance, there should be leftover food, it is donated to the local fire departments. Any food that could spoil is given to animal rescue groups. But the truck seldom runs out of food on its twice-monthly deliveries. For information, visit www.feedingamerica.com. n

edical devices can be lifesavers, and some of them may also be money-savers if they qualify for the San Diego Gas & Electric Medical Baseline Allowance Program. I learned about the program when I was recently diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. My journey began last March after outpatient surgery when a recovery room nurse asked me if I had apnea. My answer was, “I’ve never been diagnosed, but I sometimes have trouble breathing at night.” I told my family doctor at Arch Health Partners what the nurse said, and she suggested a home sleep study, which my medical insurance covered. Three nights in my own home — with a machine connected to a pulse oximeter on my finger to record the oxygen in my blood, a small audio recording device strapped above my lip to record sleep sounds, and a belt at my waist to register my lungs’ efforts to breathe — confirmed the apnea diagnosis. Within two the HILL weeks of the test, I had an appointment with a respiratory therapist,

tion to be processed and the reduced rate to begin. The baseline program is not a discount or a rebate, and it is not based on income. The program provides electricity at the lowest rates for residential customers, allowing them to save an average of 30 percent per month on their energy bills. According to SDG&E, more than 23,000 customers, from newborns to seniors, have
Because CPAP machines are among the medical devices approved for the San Diego Gas & Electric Medical Baseline Allowance Program, my next step was to visit the www.sdge.com website and download an application (search “Medical Baseline”), which I filled out, asked my doctor to sign, and sent to SDG&E. A mailing address and fax number are provided on the application. It took about 30 days for the applica-
qualified for the program. With my CPAP machine and the reduced rate for electricity, not only do I breathe better at night, I rest easier knowing my medical device isn’t going to cause an increase in our SDG&E bill. For an application, call 800-411-7343, email medicalbaseline@sdge.com, or visit www.sdge.com/residential/ save-medical-baseline/medicalbaseline-program. n

who informed me that sleep apnea can contribute to a number of medical conditions, including high blood pressure, cardiovascular issues and stroke. The therapist showed me how to use a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine prescribed by my Arch Health doctor, which would force air into a small mask placed over the nose to keep my breathing passages open.

SDG&E customers may qualify for the Medical Baseline rate if they require permanent space heating or air conditioning due to conditions such as paraplegia, quadriplegia, hemiplegia, multiple sclerosis or scleroderma, or have a compromised immune system or a life-threatening illness.

At Warner High School, “Home of the Wildcats” became more than just a sports slogan when a bobcat came calling. On typical school days, the warning bell rings at 8:15 a.m. to signal students to get to class. Shortly after the warning bell rang on Dec. 18, the 30-pound male bobcat paid a visit to instructor Aaron Van Matre’s geometry class. “I saw a blur of gray as it sprinted to the corner next to the heater,” said Van Matre, “and my instincts were to get all the students outside.” As the students and teacher safely left the room, the bobcat found a comfy spot in the corner, perched on top of Van Matre’s backpack full of corrected tests. Local authorities were contacted and they promptly responded. After a collaboration among the Department of Fish and Game, San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, California Department of Fire, and Warner school, the situ-

Forest Network Inducts Palomar Park
P
alomar Mountain State Park has been inducted into the Old-Growth Forest Network, an organization that seeks to identify and help preserve the country’s ancient forests. A dedication ceremony held beneath a 400-year-old incense cedar in the Silvercrest Picnic area welcomed the park into the network, which includes other forests in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The network selects one protected, open-to-the-public
forest in each county, making Palomar Mountain State Park its selection for San Diego County. n Ranger Jessica Murany holds a plaque presented by Joan Maloof, center, of the Old-Growth Forest Network, surrounded by Palomar Mountain State Park supporters.

centerpieces next year. With a few embellishments, like yarn hair and pipe-cleaner halos, these can make for some cheerful additions to your holiday decor. • Decorate inexpensive gift bags or brown paper bags with pieces of cut-up greeting cards. Now you have inexpensive wrapping materials for gifts that are also environmentally conscious. • Gather the fronts of many cards and punch holes along the edges. Use yarn to sew each card to another, creating a Christmas tapestry, placemats or other creative ideas for decorating. • Photo cards are popular greetings for the holidays. Cut out the images of families and friends from the cards and make a collage to be saved. You can look back each year and see how children have grown or fashions have changed. • Use pieces of the Christmas cards to decoupage wooden or paper boxes. Then these boxes can be given as gifts for the holidays. • Create drink coasters or trivets by cutting images out of the Christmas cards. Laminate the images and attach them to cork to serve as coasters. For trivets, attach images to ceramic tiles and then coat in a heatresistant shellac. n
