New Lanterns Restore Light to Julian Union High School
by Ann reilly cole ~ the journal
Exposed wires stuck out from the top of stone pillars in front of Julian Union High School for so long that
no one remembers what happened to the original light fixtures that lit its entrance.
Tired of seeing this eyesore, JUHS Board Member Dennis Cantor decided to remedy the situation. He reached out to the community for any information about what was once there.
The result was a single response — a grainy photo copied from a 1954 high school yearbook depicting one of the stone pillars, complete with a lamp, plaque and sign. This was enough to get him started.
Using clues from the historic photo and the stone pillars themselves, Cantor recreated the scene. A footprint on top of the pillars from repainting the old lamps provided accurate dimensions for the lamp base. Cantor hired local metalworker Mark Blenkush to fabricate the bases.
An online search turned up modern,
four-sided carriage lights powered by solar photocells that looked remarkably like the original lights and which eliminated the problem of providing
electricity. The modern fixtures, lit by LED bulbs, gave off a blue hue that Cantor felt didn’t fit with the amber cast of the existing parking lot lights. He frosted the glass and covered the bulb with a translucent amber plastic film to create a uniform look.
A search for the missing plaque ended at the school vault, where three bronze plaques had been stored for many years. On the left side of the entrance, Cantor placed a plaque iden-tifying the stonework as being built in 1940 by the United States Work Projects Administration. On the other pillar, a plaque commemorates the 1941 school board and includes the names of A.M. Lewis, Mary Starr and Ray Redding. All are well known to longtime Julian residents. The third plaque, dated 1956, will be installed near an entrance to the school.
During the process, Cantor learned that a time capsule is inside one of the columns. He doesn’t know what is in it, if there are plans to examine its con-tents, or even if it is possible to access it. He said he welcomes any information
about the capsule.To complete the restoration, Cantor
thought about recreating the Arts and Crafts-style sign, which the yearbook photo shows hanging in front of the pillar. However, discovering that the signs would obstruct the view of traffic, he decided against it.
The project took some four months at a cost of about $600, which Cantor paid for personally. JUHS will maintain the lights, which should be as simple as replacing the batteries every four years.
“I do have a feeling of satisfaction,” said Cantor at the project’s completion.
A sense of accomplishment notwith-standing, Cantor has his sights set on further improvements to the high school campus. He has long wanted to create a “hall of fame,” using photos of successful alumni to inspire today’s students to the possibilities available to them. He would also like to ask community groups to sponsor plantings at the campus and get some shade trees installed. His biggest dream, though, is to improve the little theater with a new sound system, a stage curtain and other amenities. n

With about 1,500 in attendance, this year’s Julian Grape Stomp
Festa was a success, according to event organizers. All ages come to celebrate the harvest, with children enjoying fun activities and their own grape stomping barrel, which was separate from a barrel for the grownups.
“It went really well,” said Krisie Morgan, office man-ager for the Julian Chamber of Commerce, the event sponsor. “We actually made a pretty good profit.”
Morgan said that guests came from near and far, including folks from Orange County, Palm Springs and Yuma. “It’s a good time of year for them,” she said of the desert residents.
The VIP tent returned for a second year. “It was fun, relaxing, and they really enjoyed it,” she said, adding that at one time, all of the tables were full.
Morgan credited Jennifer Reed for improvements that enhanced the children’s activity area this year. “It was a total suc-cess,” Morgan said. “She and her mother did a wonderful job!” n
Julian Cuyamaca CERT/Teen CERT invites the public to a “Circle The Wagons Open
House” on Oct. 17, from noon to 6 p.m., in the program’s Emergency Operations Center, 1461 Hollow Glen Rd.
Julian Cuyamaca CERT/Teen CERT is sponsored by the Julian Cuyamaca Resource Center, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organiza-tion established after the Cedar Fire in 2003, and the San Diego North Citizen Corps Council, established in 2011, which sup-ports non-governmental agen-cies such as faith-based groups, CERT and emergency managers.
“Our mission continues to be focused on whole-community preparedness with mutual aid agreements with neighboring communities while building strong outreach relationships,” said Program Manager Diane Hake. “Our partners include but are not limited to FEMA, Department of Homeland Security, California Volunteers, CAL OES, (Office of Emergency Services), CAL EMS, (Emergency Management Services), San Diego County EMS, (Emergency Medical Services), Julian Union School District, Julian Union High School District, Julian Chamber of Commerce and Merchants Association, REA, (Rural Emergency Alliance — Sister Corporation in Valley Center), American Red Cross, VOAD, (Volunteer Organization
Active in Disaster), Tribal Agencies and SDG&E.”
Hake says that since 2009, there are more than 1,000 people in Julian, Shelter Valley, Canebrake, Mount Laguna, Warner Springs and Ramona who have become better pre-pared for a disaster as a result of the program.
As for teens, Hake said, “We remain the only active Teen CERT program in San Diego County,” with teens coming from Julian Junior High School, Julian Union High School, Girl Scouts, Venture Crew, Civil Air Patrol Cadets from San Diego and Rancho Bernardo, and tribal communities. “The U.S. Naval Sea Cadets have scheduled classes for February and March of 2016.”
Julian Cuyamaca CERT trainers Diane Hake, Johnny Hake and Fallbrook resident Sheri Rumble were invited to teach trainers for law enforce-ment officers, firefighters and City Emergency Managers in Beaumont, Calif., Hake said.
“Additionally, we were asked to teach the first CERT class, including the Train-The-Trainers classes in Mexico for Youth With A Mission, (YWAM). One of the new instructors took the information to their Dominican Republic YWAM.”
Julian Cuyamaca CERT and Teen CERT members have assisted with community events by helping to ensure safer
activities, providing more 39,000 hours of service since 2009, as well training for 40-plus ham radio operators, including techs, generals and extras.
“Through county grants, we have been able to issue radios and training aids in order to practice communication and lifesaving skills in preparation of an actual event,” she said. “We would like to thank Rural Emergency Alliance (REA) for their assistance in developing a Medical Reserve Corps, (MRC). So far, a retired trauma doctor, chiropractor, eight nurses, two massage therapists, a medic, paramedic, EMTs and a corps-man have signed up to be leaders for the MRC.”
Hake says that the CERT program maintains a cache of medical supplies and equipment to provide basic life support for catastrophic, multi-casualty incidents, available 24 hours a day and seven days a week from five strategically placed trail-ers, as well as 10- to 100-person “mayday trauma bags” placed in Julian, Shelter Valley, Canebrake and Cuyamaca. These supplies and emergency equipment are meant to assist in sustained multi-casualty incident support without depleting fire depart-ment or ambulance resources.
Also, she said, “One of the Julian Cuyamaca CERT members is an FAA-registered drone opera-tor for Search and Rescue and
will be working in cooperation with the managing officials.”
In 2013, Julian Cuyamaca CERT arranged for three food-service vendors — the American Legion Post, Jeremy’s on The Hill and Julian Café and Bakery — who have signed agreements
with the American Red Cross. The open house will have
resources on display, and the newly added CERT mobile field kitchen will serve barbecue.
Community Yard Sale Set for Fifth Yearby Ann reilly cole ~ the journal
Got stuff you don’t need? Looking for something you want?
It’s time once again for sell-ers to sort through closets and garages for unwanted clothes, furniture and household items, and for buyers to grab some cash and go bargain hunting at the fifth annual Community Yard Sale on Saturday, Oct. 17, sponsored by Rick Dyer of Apple Tree Realty.
The sale starts at 8 a.m. — no early birds — and runs till the last garage door drops. A map of participating loca-tions can be downloaded at www.julianappletree.com.
The free event, which is always held the third Saturday in October, includes sellers from Wynola to Pine Hills, and from Kentwood and Whispering Pines out to Cuyamaca, and gives tourists a good excuse to visit Julian and
see the fall colors.The annual sale has grown
consistently over its five-year history. Last year, 10,000 people downloaded the map that listed sellers, many of whom reported selling 80 percent of their surplus stuff.
In an interesting twist, fewer people have registered each year, but more fami-lies participate by grouping together in their neighbor-hoods under one registration. This generates even more inter-est for the many buyers who come from as far as San Diego, Encinitas and Riverside to attend the treasure hunt.
“Boy, it was festive last year in Pine Hills,” said Dyer, who noted that it seemed more like a block party, with everyone in the neighborhood participating and having a good time.
Dyer got the idea to sponsor a community yard sale from Jan Ryan of RE/MAX in Ramona,
who has been sponsoring a similar sale in San Diego Country Estates for 15 years.
Dyer says he spends a lot to put on the Julian event, provid-ing a free sign to registrants and advertising in local publications and in the San Diego Union-Tribune. He fields calls from people eager to attend and puts together a detailed map that makes it possible for folks to find their way into areas of Julian they might not visit dur-ing a typical tourist excursion to the town.
While Dyer believes the community sale is good for local restaurants and mer-chants, as it draws more and
more shoppers each year, he is not aware of any connection between yard sale participants and real estate listings or sales at his office. For Dyer, organiz-ing the yard sale is one way he enjoys giving back to the community, although he thinks it is likely good word-of-mouth to have people associate his name with making a bit of extra money, especially before the holidays.
New this year, a local women’s giving circle will set up their yard sale in the Wynola Pizza & Bistro parking lot to raise money for Women’s Empowerment International, an organization that provides micro loans of $25 to poor women locally and through-out the world to work their way out of poverty by starting their own business. The orga-nization’s goal is to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030. The Julian Circle says it will donate 100 percent of their proceeds to the international organiza-tion. Those who would like to donate items to the cause may bring their items priced and ready to sell by 10 a.m. to the Wynola Pizza parking lot at 4355 Highway 78 on garage sale day.
Whether you are buying or selling, or maybe a little of both, the annual community yard sale is a deal you won’t want to miss. n

The Julian Music Festival, billed as an “end of summer celebration with
music, family and friends,” celebrated its 46th edition at Menghini Winery last month, with a diverse lineup of musical acts and a new event beneficiary.
The 400-plus attendees were treated to a lineup of artists who performed a variety of songs and sounds from around the globe and close to home, with musical genres that
included Celtic, folk, Western, Latin jazz and more.
“We work to line up musical acts that can be enjoyed by a variety of people of all ages,” said Terry Cox, of Terry Cox Productions, the
event organizer. “Mix the music with the spectacular beauty of San Diego County’s back-country, and you have a day not soon to be forgotten.”
The Lacemakers, a trio of talented, multi-instrumentalists
and vocalists, kicked off the festival with their artfully blended Scottish, Irish, Appalachian, bluegrass and original mountain music.
Returning to the festival for the fifth consecutive year,
Trails and Rails performed their well-honed repertoire of cowboy and train songs, as well as acoustic folk and melodies from days gone by.
Back from a one-year absence, singer-songwriter Natalie Gelman captivated the audience with her smoky vocals, guitar-driven pop rock and engaging rapport. Gelman, who has been compared to the likes of Sheryl Crow, Jewel and Joni Mitchell, is a native of New York City and now lives in
Southern California.Abrakadabra, the event’s
finale, brought festivalgoers to their feet with their high-energy sounds, fusing Latin jazz and pop rock.
This year’s beneficiary was the Julian-based California Wolf Center, whose mission is to recover wild wolves in suitable habitats and ensure successful coexistence through conserva-tion, education and research initiatives. n

Get ready, guys, The Mountain Gypsy has just made room for you. The
store has expanded into the space next door. And with
summer stock priced at 40 to 50 percent off, they are getting ready to receive new fall merchandise, including a line of items for the men in
your lives, ladies.A sign of the times? Tracy
Taft of Kitchen Barn reports that they have done some 40 remodels already this year! That’s up from just a few in their first year of business five years ago. It could be an indication that the economy is improving.
Sock it to you at Kathy's Dress Shop, where she just got a new line of fun and colorful socks. Express your personality with socks decorated with animated characters.
Did you know that Mom’s Pies offers baking and cider-making classes? You, too, can learn how to make and roll out a flaky crust and create a yummy filling from fresh ingredients. Classes in seasonal specialties and the science of baking are offered to both kids and adults. The best part is you get to take home what you
make in class. Yum!Are those tires getting on
the thin side? With the strong El Nino predicted for this win-ter, you’ll want to be riding on good rubber. Both Michelin and BFGoodrich are offering rebates for a new set of tires at Ron’s Tire and Brake.
There are two new faces in the front office at Kamps Propane. Britany Flattery of Alpine and Shannon Olinger, a graduate of Ramona High School, are answering the phones and serving customers’ needs with cheer as the newest members of the office personnel.
Dr. Jaime Gonzalez, D.D.S., recently took on his 3,000th customer. That’s a lot of smiles! While most patients are local to Ramona, folks from all over the backcountry get their care at his office. The one who trav-eled the farthest, however, was
a patient who needed a dentist while on holiday all the way from Canada.
Fall in Julian means you can harvest local apples and get good advice about all types of mortgage loans, espe-cially reverse mortgages, as Jan Paulsen of Rancho Financial worked a booth to meet and greet visitors to the 2015 Julian Apple Days Festival, Sept. 26 and 27, at Menghini Winery on Julian Orchards Drive.

An interview with Charlie Wood for a Veterans Day story was to be about his World War II experiences, but
he begged off.“I don’t talk about it much,” he said.
“But, I guess, that’s fine for people who haven’t done anything else in their life.
He did say that he had been a pilot of a torpedo bomber starting in 1942, participating in Pacific operations over Borneo and the Marshall and Gilbert islands.
“Most of my squadron have passed away,” he said. “That’s upsetting to me, because they were a lot younger than me.”
I reached Charlie at his workplace, Quinn Knives, where he works full time. It’s a job he describes as “fun.” At 92, that’s pretty good.
He has the time to be at the shop now that he “retired” his two computers.
“Got rid of them,” he said. He also sold his personal biplane.
After the war, Charlie returned to the air as a flight instructor, plane salesman and restorer, and airline and charter plane pilot. He kept his eyes in the clouds.
“I flew in Asia, Europe, and Central and South America as a Braniff Airways pilot,” he said.
Then, he had flight schools in San Diego and Imperial counties. When not doing that, his sales approach included Beechcraft, Cessna and Piper aircraft.
“I restored a 1936 Fairchild and a 1932 complicated Waco-style biplane, my personal airplane for almost 60 years,” he said. “It had a big 300-horsepower engine, and it was very fast.”
He said he’s lived in Julian since 1972, and he can remember camping here as a youngster in the 1920s and ‘30s.
“I did what I wanted and what I liked to do,” he said.
Golf Director NamedWhile privileged golfers test the
revamped Warner Springs Ranch Resort (WSRR) Golf Course, officials say the grand re-opening is still to be announced for sometime in the fall.
Meanwhile, Roxanne Mueller has been named director of golf, following
the announce-ment of Byron Casper as the head professional there.
Mueller pre-viously served as the wom-en’s assistant golf coach at
California State University, San Marcos. She also worked as a sales manager for American Club Exchange, planning spe-cial tournament events, and developing marketing strategies to increase course memberships.
Additionally, Mueller served as a mer-chandising assistant golf professional at the Golf Club of California at Fallbrook, and as the first assistant golf professional at San Luis Rey Downs Golf Resort.
“Roxy’s knowledge and experience within the industry were exactly what we were looking for to fill the posi-tion,” said WSRR spokesman William H. McWethy Jr. “Her passion for the game is infectious, and guests will enjoy working with her.”
Da Vinci Exhibit OpensThe San Diego Air & Space Museum
in Balboa Park is featuring the work of renaissance man Leonardo da Vinci
the terrItOry. . . Julian and Beyond by Johnny McDonald ~ the journal
in a special exhibition, “Da Vinci: The Ultimate Innovator,” continuing through 2016.
He made the first real studies of flight in the 1480s and had more than 100 drawings that illustrated his theories on the subject.
Some experts feel that the modern-
day helicopter was inspired by da Vinci’s concept.
Da Vinci was much more than an artist. He was an astronomer, sculptor, geologist, mathematician, botanist, animal behaviorist, inventor, engineer, architect and even a musician. n

For homeowners who want to modernize their old kitchen, the big question is, should I refinish, reface or replace my older cabinets? I recommend each case be reviewed based on the answer to several qualifying questions.First, what are your main reasons for modernizing your kitchen?
• Eliminate the ugly and impossible-to- maintain tile countertops.
• Increase the food preparation space.• Improve cabinet access and increase storage.• Make my kitchen an inviting and
exciting part of my home.Are you planning on staying in this home for a long time?
• Yes, we have decided this is something we want for ourselves.
• Maybe, we might downsize in the next few years.
• No, we will be moving soon.Do the existing cabinets have high quality hinges, drawer guides and interiors?
• Not sure. Everything works but the house was built 25 years ago.
• No, the drawers are difficult to operate and the hinges are exposed.
• Yes, the builder used good materials and the only problem is the look.
Do you have a budget allowance that may influence your choices?
• Yes, we are on a fixed income and can’t spend our retirement to do this.
• We have no idea what the costs may be, so we have not developed a budget.
• We are prepared to do what it takes, but it has to be within reason.
My recommendations flow from the answers to these fundamental issues. For example, it doesn’t
make sense to put brand-new granite countertops on top of broken-down, 25-year-old cabinets. Sometimes the cabinets are still in good operating order and refinishing is the right choice. That determination should be made after a professional inspects them inside and out. The next step is to assess the workability of the kitchen layout; do you have low-hanging cabinets blocking the view into the adjacent family room? Do you have more than one way in and out of the kitchen? Is there adequate preparation and staging space to properly prepare and serve a meal?Can you reach into the corners of the lower cabinets to retrieve stored goods? Are the shelves properly secured and sealed from contaminants from canned foods or storage containers?Finally, if you need to replace all or most of the appliances, including the sink and faucet, this may be the best time to make the corrections in the other aspects of the kitchen that constantly remind you that it was built 25 years ago.Many companies advertise that they can reface your existing cabinets for half the cost of replacement cabinetry. This would be true if you did nothing other than re-dress the cabinets, but if you are going to replace the countertops, appliances, lighting and flooring, it may save you as little as 10%. That is because the majority of the cost in cabinetry is in the doors and drawers, all of which get replaced in a reface job anyway.My advice is to consult a kitchen design professional before you make any major decisions regarding your kitchen project. The right decision will be much easier if you have reviewed all of your options.

Indomitable Dan Gurney, who has conquered the world’s greatest racetracks as a driver
and car builder, has embarked on an ambitious challenge with a new engine.
Even at 84, he can’t stray away from a dyno at his All
American Racers (AAR) plant in Santa Ana.
He has the patent for what he hopes will scale the heights comparable to his successful Eagle racecar with victories
at Indianapolis and on the Formula One circuit. In 1973,
Gurney Still Dynamic at the Dyno
By Johnny McDonald
Behind the Wheel21 of the 33 qualified Indy 500 cars were Eagles.
I joked with Gurney that when he won a race pole, he was always urged to tear down the engine to see why it ran so well.
The man who raced in his first sports car race at Torrey Pines back in 1959, emailed me about his new venture.
“Simulation numbers are so good that we don’t want to ‘crow’ about them before we actually see them on the dyno or in a vehicle,” he said.
“We are designing and build-ing a brand-new motorcycle
engine that should be able to be used in automobiles, aircraft
and boats, as well.” He said he plans to have the
first of five prototypes running on his test rig by the end of this year.
“I want potentially interested people or organizations to be aware of what we are attempting to demonstrate.”
He added, “So far, we only have simulation data, which we are working with, but it all looks very good — turbine smoothness, simplicity and compactness.”
The patent is labeled “Moment-Cancelling 4-stroke engine,” 110 cubic inch — 1800 cc.
“I want to have a go at making the internal combus-tion engine even more competitive with electric power,” he continued.
“There are many rules of design that cause compromises,” he said. “Generally, if you make a very high power for a certain size reciprocating engine, then you compromise the endurance and a trouble-free performance.”
He admits that in other projects he experienced many troubles, with many attempts that came up short and some successes about which he was proudest.
As a modifier of different engines, Gurney certainly qualifies as a true tester.
“It finally dawned on me that AAR could design and build a whole engine from scratch if we had the desire,” he said.
“My close collaborator Chuck Palmgren has had much experi-ence with internal combustion engines during his career as an AMA Grand National Flat Track and Road Race motorcyclist. Being competitors, we agreed that we should pool all of our knowledge.”
Lives Lost Despite Safety Today’s cars are safer than
they’ve ever been, with increas-ing numbers of models deliver-ing top scores in what have become stricter crash tests, and offering an array of the latest safety features.
There are airbags in the front, rear and sides of a vehicle, with some even at knee height, mounted between the front seats and incorporated into the rear shoulder belts.
There are backup cameras, lane departure and blind spot warning systems and forward auto-braking systems now being offered on all but the smallest and cheapest models.
And yet, nearly 19,000 lives were lost in traffic accidents over the first six months of 2015, according to preliminary statistics just released by the National Safety Council. n

The Back Country Quilters’ Annual Quilt Show Oct. 16 and 17 is the group’s 16th year of showcasing intricate and colorful quilts from club members and the community. The group expects about 100 quilts of all colors, shapes and sizes at the free event.
The prized opportunity quilt is called “Rhythm In Blues,” and will be awarded when the winning ticket is selected Oct. 17 at 3:30 p.m.
New this year will be a special quilt on display called “Sunbonnet Betty and Bob,” made by members of the club, featuring appliqued and embroidered scenes of Ramona.
“It’s very intriguing,” says club mem-ber Eleanor Kerbs. “There are a lot of things to look at on it.”
There will be two quilts and a number baskets in the silent auction, in addition to drawings for door prizes every hour, vendor booths, and food and snack items offered for sale. The popular consignment store will offer unique gifts and holiday-themed merchandise. Also for sale will be quilting and sewing supplies, fabric, partially completed
projects and more. The quilt show runs Friday and
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Mountain View Community Church, 1191 Meadowlark Wy., off Highway 78 and Ash Street. The group uses proceeds to support Ramona Senior Center and local charities.

Medicare Can Help You Stay Healthyby David Sayen
The best way to stay healthy is to live a healthy lifestyle. You can live a healthy
lifestyle and prevent disease by exercising, eating well, keeping a healthy weight and not smoking.
Medicare can help. Medicare pays for many preventive services to keep you healthy. Preventive services can find health problems early, when treatment works best, and can keep you from getting certain diseases.
Preventive services include exams, shots, lab tests and screenings. They also include programs for health monitoring, counseling and education to help you take care of your own health.
There are no co-pays for many of Medicare’s preven-tive health benefits. The idea is to encourage people with Medicare to get more preven-tive screenings and counseling to help them lead healthier, longer lives.
For example, you no longer face any out-of-pocket expenses when you get a “Welcome to Medicare” physical exam. This one-time exam is offered during the first 12 months after you’ve enrolled in Medicare Part B.
During the exam, your doctor will record your medical history and check your height, weight and blood pressure. He or she will also calculate your body mass index, give you a simple vision test and advise you on preventing disease and staying healthy.
In addition, there is a free annual wellness exam provided to people with Medicare. When you get this exam, your doctor will go over your medical and family history and develop or update a personalized preven-tion plan for you. Your doctor also will check for any cognitive impairment and risk factors for depression, and review your functional ability and level of safety.
Medicare also covers shots for flu, pneumococcal disease (which can cause pneumonia and meningitis), and Hepatitis B. Flu, pneumococcal infec-tions and Hepatitis B can be life-threatening for older people, and we recommend that all people age 65 and older get flu and pneumococcal shots. Most people only need the pneumococcal vaccine once in their lifetime.
And remember — Medicare beneficiaries may receive these shots with no co-pays.
Beneficiaries also can get screened for cardiovascular disease and different kinds of cancer, including breast, prostate, cervical and vaginal, and colorectal cancer.
Take colorectal cancer, for example. This type of cancer is usually found in people age 50 and older, and the risk of getting it increases with age.
Medicare covers screening tests to help find pre-cancerous polyps, which are growths in the colon, so they can be removed before they turn cancerous. Medicare will pay for a fecal occult blood test, a flexible sigmoidoscopy, a screening colonoscopy or a barium enema.
Medicare beneficiaries pay
nothing for fecal occult blood tests. And they pay nothing for the flexible sigmoidoscopy and the screening colonoscopy, if their doctor accepts the Medicare-approved payment amount. (Note: If a polyp or other tissue is removed during a colonoscopy, you may have to pay 20 percent of the Medicare-approved amount for the doc-tor’s services and a co-payment in a hospital outpatient setting.)
For people who have or are at risk for diabetes, Medicare covers screenings, certain
supplies and self-management training.
If you need help to stop smoking, Medicare pays for up to eight face-to-face counseling sessions per year with a doctor or other Medicare-recognized practitioner.
Medicare also helps pay for tests for glaucoma, HIV and osteoporosis (brittleness that places people at risk for broken bones).
People with Medicare don’t use these preventive health
services as much as they should. But getting screened can help you stay healthy and live longer — and save the government billions in healthcare costs.
It’s a classic win-win solution. n
