JUHS Homecoming is a Marvelby Ann reilly Cole ~ the journal

Batman, Thor, The Avengers and Iron Man inspired the students of Julian Union

High School for this year’s Homecoming festivities, with each graduating class choos-ing their favorite comic as the theme for their parade floats and dance decorations.

Teams of students, along with parents and teachers, descended on the JUHS park-ing lot after school on Thursday before Homecoming, bringing trailers, tools and materials, food and music provided by parents and teachers. They worked side by side in friendly competition to create floats for the parade. As they labored late into the night under floodlights and a bright moon rising in the eastern sky, the comic book sets came to life with the help of the teenagers’ hammers and paintbrushes.

A few dedicated students showed up bright and early

before school the next morning to put the finishing touches on their creations.

School let out early so cheer-leaders, princes, princesses — and a host of villains, super-heroes and sidekicks — could parade down Main Street, dem-onstrating their school spirit and Eagle pride to onlookers who lined the street.

The weather couldn’t have been more perfect.

The parade started with the Iron Man float, built by the freshman class of 2018, followed by their prince and princess, Nyemetaay Linton and Jessica Ramos.

The cheerleading squad and the Eagle mascot came after them, with dance moves and cheers to rally the crowd for the day’s contests.

Next up, the power of Thor represented the class of 2017, and prince and princess Nicolas Ritchie and Paige Smith waved to the crowd from a sporty sil-ver convertible.

The class of 2016 followed with The Avengers and prince and princess Vladymir Wong and Victoria Montes.

Batman and the cast of char-acters from Gotham City led the class of 2015.

They were followed by the Homecoming royal court vying

for king and queen, including Alysa Smith and Jake Cirillo, Jazmin Cruz and Guillermo Lopez, Drew Bullock and Erika Abarca, Francois Piquard and Nikki Blanco, and Avah Gonzalez and Chance Perez, to close out the parade.

by Ann reilly Cole ~ the journal

When “for sale” signs were hung in the windows of The Mountain Gypsy and Miner’s

Diner months ago, people wondered what would become of the longtime Main Street establishments.

Would buyers step forward? If so, would they keep employees and the familiar products and services, or replace them, as has happened before?

Thanks to sellers who helped ease buyers into their roles as proprietors, both enterprises transitioned with just enough change to reflect the personali-ties of new owners, while staying true to the time-tested business model that made the ventures so attractive.

Before she moved to Julian seven years ago, Beth Snider-Rodriguez had it in the back of her mind that she would one day buy a store in a mountain community. She was winding down her community college teaching career when, walking through town one day,

she learned that The Mountain Gypsy was for sale. A few months later, retired from teaching, she bought the store just weeks before the lease was to expire. Since January, she has been having a blast learning the retail business and putting her mark on the “Gypsy.”

Grateful not to have to create a business all on her own, Snider-Rodriguez shadowed the former owner at trade shows and offered an opportunity for her assistant to stay on to ensure the store’s continued success.

“The international clientele who come here to shop is amazing,” says Snider-Rodriguez, who is fluent in Italian and has studied several languages. She once shared a good laugh with a Turkish customer by addressing her in her native tongue.

She has carried on the tradition of stocking a unique style of clothing that appeals to women of all sizes, and has added more shoes, different types of jewelry and decorative items, includ-

ing whimsical little sculptures called “bouncies” that hang from coil springs. Creating a social media presence to reach out to clients — many of whom live in far-flung corners of the earth — is her next mission.

At the other end of town, Julian residents Fred and Misty Dornon, the new owners of Miner’s Diner, have been busy getting up to speed on the restaurant business. They passed on the chance to buy the diner at first glance, deterred by the building’s age and their inexperience with the restaurant busi-ness, and focused their search instead on properties as far away as the East Coast.

In the end, buying a local business made the most sense, especially since the sellers were willing to negotiate and helped them get a solid start on running the restaurant.

Making no major changes to the operations, the Dornons tweaked details to create a better overall experience for customers and staff, such as instituting table service and switching to fresh-ground Angus beef burgers.

New kitchen equipment keeps the cooks ahead of the wait staff during busy times. They kept much of the existing staff, learning from them how to

improve the business. Shortly after the Dornons bought the

building, the adjoining Julian Drug Store and Candy Mine closed, leaving room to expand the restaurant and create a historical and multi-sensory experience for customers. They replaced chrome fixtures with authentic wooden display cabinets filled with artifacts they found stored away in boxes upstairs from The

Tozer Drug Store that occupied the space in the 1930s.

“Keeping the history alive is important,” said Misty.

An antique medicine label cabinet, unopened medicine bottles, photos and signage are original to the building.

A tinkerer at heart, Fred and his son Michael created cave-like walls in the Candy Mine, filled it with mining artifacts and added a sound system that mimics the sounds of men working in the mine, including the occasional dynamite explosion followed by flickering lights.

Customers come in and are nostalgic about the past. The Dornons aim to give them good memories and a reason to want to come back.

“Julian is about fun, making memo-ries, nostalgia, and taking time off to enjoy life,” said Fred who thinks creating an exceptional experience for visitors is the fun part of his new line of work. n

Lately, Warner Springs FFA has had a lot going on! To start off, we have had a couple of chapter meetings.

We have an FFA meeting once a month for all FFA members. In these meetings, we discuss what will be going on in the upcoming month and what we need to

start getting prepared for in order to be the most successful we can be, to the best of our abilities.

Once official business is taken care of, the meetings are followed by an exciting activity, such as carving pumpkins in celebration of Halloween. Thank you to Mountain Valley Ranch

for their donation of pumpkins.Along with preparing for our meet-

ings, we’ve been busy with planning fundraisers. Our latest one was Apple Days parking. The Cozens family donated a weekend for us to raise money by charging for parking during Apple Days. Thank you very much to the Cozens family for your donation and continuous support.

Recently, 18 of our FFA members competed in their first public speaking competition of the year. It was the FFA Ceremonies competition, which is composed of a team of six people per-forming the FFA Ceremonies speech. In the competition, all teams are to say the speech to the best of their abilities. They are scored on how they speak, how they look and how they act.

Members participated in the FFA Ceremonies competition at San Pasqual High School in Escondido. PHOTOS COURTESy OF WARNER SPRINGS FFA

Did Your Kitchen Drop the Ball Over the Holidays?

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?

Kitchen Barn Offers Free Advice!

Take advantage of us. . . Most people will have one chance to remodel a kitchen in their entire life, and the learning curve is pretty steep. The smart shopper will look for someone they trust with previous experience to lead them through the process.

Though price is an important

consideration, unless you have had some recent experience working with kitchen design, modern-day cabinet products, countertops, lighting, granite 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.

‘Chicken Soup’ Chooses Local

Writer’s Fire Storyby Annette Williams ~ the journal

When publishers of the new “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Finding Your

Inner Strength” book were look-ing through the thousands of story submissions they received, they chose one written by Julian resident Sandra Sladkey.

“I’m tickled, because they get 4,000 to 5,000 submissions and pick 101 stories for each book,” she says.

“I wrote the story a couple months after we lost our home in the Cedar fire. Guideposts magazine published a very edit-ed version of the story in 2004. ‘Chicken Soup’ won’t normally publish a story that has been published in another major pub-lication, but since Guideposts’ version was highly edited and so different from the original, ‘Chicken Soup’ had no qualms — and they left my story virtu-ally verbatim.”

Her story, titled “Out of the Ashes,” on page 393, is about something she found in the ruins of the fire-ravaged home she shared with her husband, Jerry Sladkey, and daughter, Selah.

“Each story in their books has a quote at the top of the page before the story begins. I chose a Mother Teresa quote that is on a plaque on my office wall,” she says.

About a year ago, she was curious about how to submit a story to be considered for the popular book series.

“I’ve always loved their books and thought it would be neat to be in one. On their site, they give you upcoming titles of their books and allow you to submit stories for those specific future publications.”

Sladkey sent three or four stories and almost forgot about it until her book was in the running. She learned she was a finalist on Aug. 4. Three weeks later she received confirmation that her story would be includ-ed in the book, which was published Oct. 28.

There are perks that come with being an official “Chicken Soup” writer, she discovered.

“They include you as part of their ‘inner circle,’ as they call it, and you receive exclusive com-muniqués and opportunities to know ahead new titles that are coming up for publication.”

Anticipating that her story will receive widespread atten-tion, Sladkey plans to spend more time on her blog, [email protected].

“As you get older, especially as a Christian, you start thinking more about how to leave your mark in the world — in a way that counts,” she says.

“For me, there are three areas that I feel could really have an impact. The first, of course, is raising kids who decide to follow Christ. The other two, for me, are children’s ministry and writing. Writing is a way to leave a lasting legacy.” n

All teams did well, placed well, and ended up with three outstanding student awards. But as we’ve been taught, a competition isn’t always about winning or losing. The most important thing is to try your best, smile and have fun as you’re building skills you’ll have for life. And we did! We had lots of fun, had the opportunity to meet lots of new people who will be with us throughout our FFA ventures, and we built on our public speaking skills.

But the fun and building didn’t stop there. Our chapter FFA officers attended a conference in Indio on Oct. 18. The conference focused on

the development of leadership skills in officers and on how to organize and manage successful chapter activities. This valuable leadership training was conducted by the state FFA officers and the Southern Region FFA officers.

Other than public speaking competitions, we’ve begun our career development by attending our first field day at El Capitan High School.

Warner Springs FFA Chapter is busy learning and developing premier leadership, career success and personal growth, along with having a lot of fun!

NOVEMBER 6, 2014 JULIAN JOURNAL 7

By Ruth Lepper

Ramona Writing Group is calling it quits after 32 years. Aspiring writers and

published authors have been getting together twice a month since 1982, first as a class under Palomar College, then as an individual group at Ramona Senior Center.

Annette Williams has been leading the group for the past few years. She has attended classes “off and on” since 1988. As attendance kept going down, the decision was made to curtail regular meetings. There may be occasional meet-ings scheduled from time to time, she said.

“In the 1980s and ‘90s, when the writing group was going strong, we had more than two dozen students in the Palomar College class,” Williams said. “As we improved in our writing, we encouraged each other to enter the San Diego Showcase Writers Club’s yearly competi-tion. It was exciting to see our stories and poems published in the annual Showcase Writers’ anthology.”

One Palomar teacher, Mario Roccatani, lived in Julian in the 1990s and commuted to teach the Ramona class. Several times he invited the group to his Pine Hills home for an informal get-together.

The purpose of the group is to encourage each other and offer helpful critiques of their writings. They also provide information on self-publishing and other opportunities that are available in the publishing world.

“Classmates regularly wrote stories and articles, fine-tuning them with each other’s help.” Williams said. “These items were often accepted for publi-cation in magazines covering a wide variety of interests, from science fiction and poetry to true-life stories and technology.”

The group has attracted a wide assortment of writing styles over the years.

“In the last decade, the group welcomed members with a serious focus on writ-ing books,” Williams said. “With today’s ease of print-on-demand publishing, many of us now have multiple titles in print and available as e-books.”

One of the main criteria stressed by the group is being comfortable with what the writers hear from each other when their work is critiqued.

“Writing is such a personal involvement that comes from you that we can all relate to,” Gaille Brennan said. “It’s so important for everyone in the group to

have the trust of others.”Brennan has been attend-

ing the group since 2006. She wrote a memoir about her granddaughter but has not had it published. An earlier book she authored was published in 1974, written at the university level for teachers of adult education.

Williams has published three books. One is a Christian refer-ence book that she sells mainly at church seminars where her husband, Dewayne Williams, is on the speaking docket. She also has published two family memoirs.

Karie Emanuelson has had letters to the editor published

in newspapers.Julian resident Albie Stark

has written 10 books, mostly historic romance novels. They have yet to be published.

Ralph and Sharon Cates are each working on their books, Ralph on his fourth since the first was published in 1990, and Sharon on her first unpublished book.

Bruce Gallagher writes books about native plants, observations on religion, memoirs and fiction.

protecting Kids in a Toxic Sports EnvironmentBy Johnny McDonald

A book just out offers parents guidance and solutions while pin-

pointing challenges in the world of youth sports.

Luis Fernando Llosa, award-winning Sports Illustrated reporter and co-author, is touring the country to dis-cuss “Beyond Winning: Smart Parenting in a Toxic Sports Environment.”

Recently, he spoke to interested families at Waldorf School in Rolando.

He indicated that the book is about protecting children, who sometimes are asked to play years before their bodies and mental capacities are prepared for team play.

He points to a chapter titled “Too much, too soon.”

“I’m not against them playing in recreational activity,” he said. “But I feel kids should not be asked to perform in team sports until they are 12 or 13 and should not play in more than one sport during a season, I’ve talked to doctors about it, and they say children’s muscles and joints are not developed enough.

“With some injuries, kids can be damaged for life. We must protect our kids.”

As a father of five children and a youth sports coach, Llosa has the credentials for this topic.

There are many stories in the book concerning excessive playing time, abuses, cheating and even steroid use.

“One father-coach had a fine pitcher but pitched him into the ground,” he said. “Then the boy quit.”

The figure might seem a bit high, but he said he and his associates found that more than 70 percent of the kids quit

organized sports by the age of 13.

He speaks about age checks in later years, too.

He reported about a Dominican Republic pitcher who had been throwing no- hitters but was actually two years older than legal Little League age.

“His father and coach used him to get this notoriety, lying and being a cheat, which was a form of abuse,” Llosa said.

Working with state and fed-eral authorities, Llosa said they investigated steroid use among younger kids. He also visited nine South American countries to observe youth sports, which, in his words, was a commodity.

He talks about the power of play, creativity and how to choose the best coach for your kid.

Llosa said the problems are pandemic and not specific.

In terms of concussions, he said football is high, but so is soccer, and it’s also a problem in girls basketball.

“Playing different sports is good, but also necessary,” Llosa believes. “That can make them a better par-ticipant. Problem is, parents over-commit kids, with a potential for injury being very high. Kids can get exhausted and tired.

“There should be a pause.”But you can’t erase the

fact that coaches want to win.

“For them,” he says, “it’s ego-based, to show off for their friends or people at work.”

In terms of a kid’s physical body and extending the Little League season into a world series, he said that’s too long.

“It’s not good to receive all that attention on national television,” he said.

Information has been acquired over 20 years, and the book took a year to complete.

Co-authors are Kim John Payne and Scott B. Lancaster, who is the former National Football League youth sports director. n

Ariel’s Attic Marks Second Anniversary

By Marshall T. Ayers

There are many hidden gems in the Julian Station along Highway 78 in Wynola, if you take the time to

look. One of them is Ariel’s Attic Antiques & Gifts.

It was a lifelong dream of Terry Tupta, a longtime Wynola resident, to have her own shop.

“It was a now-or-never thing,” she says.

The store was named for her pug, Ariel, who has become the star attrac-tion. You can find Ariel most days on her bed of leisure in the Pug Corner, barking out orders.

“She owns the shop,” Tupta often jokes. “I just run it for her.”

Ariel’s Attic features a wide variety of furnishings, home décor, collectibles and more, including colored glass, china, Americana art and pug-themed items.

Early this year, Tupta opened a new section that features a Christian sit-ting room with an expanding line of Christian gifts.

“I wanted the store to feel like a trip to Grandma’s,” she says.

She has captured that feeling, not only by the treasures she offers, but because of the warm welcome with which she greets everyone who walks through the door. You don’t feel like you’re walking into a shop when you cross the threshold — you feel like you’re walking into someone’s home.

There’s nothing in the shop I don’t like,” she says. “I’d take it all home, if my husband would let me.”

Every corner of the store boasts a new theme. She is constantly reinvent-ing, constantly adding to what she has, so no one trip to the store is ever the same. There’s always something new to find.

In the two years the store has been open, Tupta says she has found three loves in her life: the hunt, decorating, and most importantly, the people.

Tupta is 70 years old and embraces every moment.

“Seventy to 100 are your golden years,” she says.

She is looking forward to 100.Visit Ariel’s Attic at 4470 Highway

publishing industry has changed tremendously,” Gallagher said. “It depends on what your objective is.”

Gallagher, as well as other writers in the group, use a self-publishing method known as “print on demand.”

Former member Ruth Froiland, who now lives in New Mexico, contacted the group with some of her fondest memories. She became an active member in the early 1980s, when it was taught by Hal Lingerman from Palomar College.

“I was in Hal’s class and loved it,” Froiland wrote. “He used music to stimulate our creative abilities. I remember Dorace Scarbery and Charlotte Mortimer were in the class, and perhaps Lark Burkhart. There were others, but I’ve forgotten who. Zee Payne was

in the group early in our years and Allen Pyeatt — wonderful memories of those days.”

Another former member was Shirley Wells, now living in Arizona.

“When I first heard about the class, I was so excited to go,” Wells wrote. “I was staying up all night writing things, just anything that came to my mind.”

Through the class, Wells learned important tips and techniques to becoming a good writer and launching her career in writing. She was in the early classes taught by Lingerman.

“The one important thing I got from Hal Lingerman’s class was to write exactly what you mean to say,” Wells recalled. “In other words, don’t halfway say it, be extremely self-explanatory.” n

Tree Lighting a Highlight of theHoliday Season

by Annette Williams ~ the journal

C hristmastime gets an of-ficial welcome at the Julian Country Christmas and Tree

Lighting, Julian’s first and largest event of the season.

Businesses are decked out in holiday finery in preparation for the ceremonial lighting of the town’s official Christmas tree, set for Nov. 29.

“I’ve been involved with Country Christmas for the 15

years that we have been in town,” says Butterfield Bed & Breakfast owner Ed Glass, a Chamber member and event chairman.

Glass commended Chamber president Mike Menghini for his participation as one of the main decorators, and thanked the faithful team of decorators.

“We’ve always got a crew of very enthusiastic and very well-organized people who install the decorations early in November throughout town, all up and down Main Street and some of the side streets. We’ve got a very good crew.”

It’s a labor of love from the merchants of Julian, and their work is appreciated in return.

“When I talk to people who come up during the holidays, it’s the small-town atmosphere that they really love,” Glass says. “You’re up in the mountains, the carriages in town always have sleigh bells during the holiday time. We have people who come year after year with their kids, and I talk to them as they’re waiting for Santa. They always say, ‘It’s the best ever!’ It’s a common theme here.”

On this very special day, musical acts and dance troupes begin entertaining guests in the Julian Pioneer Museum Park on Washington Street at 1 p.m., as carolers in Victorian costumes stroll through town. A living Nativity at the corner of Main and B streets provides an inspi-rational focal point.

Throughout the day, mer-chants, restaurants, bakeries and lodging establishments extend a warm welcome to shoppers and guests.

Shortly after 5 p.m., as dark-ness falls, excitement builds in anticipation of the light-ing of the tree, an honor that goes to the Julian Chamber of Commerce Merchant of the Year. Santa Claus’ arrival on a fire truck adds to the fun, as youngsters happily tell him their fondest wishes.

More than 1,000 people attend the festivities, which carry on rain or shine — or even snow!

Earthquakes or Wildfires Can Strike Without Warning. . .Be Prepared

You never know when an emergency will strike. The Julian Journal wants our community to be prepared. All

households should have basic supplies on hand in order to survive for at least three days if an emergency occurs.

Basic Emergency Supply Kit

• Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation

• Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food

• Can opener (if kit contains canned food) • Battery-powered or hand crank radio and

a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both

• Flashlight and extra batteries • First aid kit • Whistle to signal for help • Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air • Plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-

in-place • Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic

ties for personal sanitation • Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities • Local maps • Cell phone and chargersAdditional Items to Consider Adding to an Emergency Supply Kit: • Prescription medications and glasses • Infant formula and diapers • Pet food and extra water for your pet • Important family documents such as

copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records in a water-proof, portable container

• Cash or traveler’s checks and change

• Emergency reference material such as a first aid book or information from www.ready.gov

• Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person. Consider additional bedding if you live in a cold-weather climate.

• Complete change of clothing, including a long sleeved shirt, long pants and sturdy shoes. Consider additional clothing if you live in a cold-weather climate.

• Household chlorine bleach and medicine dropper — when diluted nine parts water to one part bleach, bleach can be used as a disinfectant. Or in an emergency, you can use it to treat water by using 16 drops of regular household liquid bleach per gallon of water. Do not use scented, color safe or bleaches with added cleaners.

• Fire Extinguisher • Matches in a waterproof container • Feminine supplies and personal

hygiene items • Mess kits, paper cups, plates and plastic

utensils, paper towels • Paper and pencil • Books, games, puzzles or other activities

for children

It is important that individuals review this list, consider the unique needs of their family, and create an emergency supply kit that will meet those needs. Individuals should also consider having at least two emergency supply kits — one full kit at home and smaller portable kits in their workplace, vehicle or other places they spend time. For more information from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, visit www.ReadySanDiego.org. n

Writers for Ramona Home Journal and Julian Journal walked

away with a whopping 15

awards in San Diego Press Club’s 41st annual Excellence in Journalism competition.

“Our writers are proof that they do, indeed, demonstrate

Journal Writers Win at Press Club Awards Ceremony‘excellence in journalism’ in their writing skills,” publisher Carol Kinney said. “The majority of the stories we enter continue to win awards year after year.”

Combined winnings of the five writers — Darrell Beck, Ruth Lepper, Johnny McDonald, Tracy Rolling and Annette Williams — were four first-

place awards, six second-place and four third-place.

The winning categories for non-daily newspapers and mag-azine writing covered criminal justice, history, government, public service, business, mili-tary, sports, arts and entertain-ment, travel, and reviews.

Williams brought home two first-place plaques. One was for a government story about Supervisor Dianne Jacob’s Coffee with Constituents visit in Ramona. The other was

“Home Medical Device Users May Qualify for Reduced SDG&E Rates” in the Julian Journal.

Beck’s first-place award was for a history piece on “The Swycaffers, Ballena Pioneers.” He won a second-place award in the military category about his ride in a B-17 aircraft at

Ramona Airport.Lepper placed first and

second in the criminal justice category for “Family Ties Bind CHP Father and Son” in the Julian Journal and “CHP Officer Honored” in Ramona Home Journal.

She also won a second-place award in business writing for “Hobby Grows into Worldwide Business” about Woody Kirkman’s lantern company in Ramona, and a third-place for a review of “Quilters” at Lamb’s

Players Theater, titled “Life on the Prairie Told in Musical.”

Rolling had second-place honors for her sports story, “Where Dreams are Made;” a technology story, “Marvelous Miracle for Robotic Rookies;” a travel story on a hike in Warner Springs, “The Eagle Has Landed;” and a history piece,

“The Dusty Trail.”Rolling also won third-

place awards for sports, “The Perfect Season,” and for history, “Thankful Historic Voyage Leads to Ramona.”

McDonald’s entry from Julian Journal earned a third-place award for the Shakespeare play at Spencer Valley School, “Shakespeare at a Young Age.”

The awards were presented Oct. 28 at the Jacobs Center at Market Creek in San Diego. n

The origins of Veterans Day can be traced to the ending of World War I nearly a century ago. Known at the time as “The Great War,” World War I officially ended on June 28, 1919, with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in France. But the fighting had actually ended seven months earlier when an armistice between the Allies and Germany went into effect on Nov. 11, 1918. The following Nov. United States President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11 “Armistice Day” in honor of the cessation of the hostili-ties, and the day became a federal holiday in 1938. That act was amended in 1954, after veterans service orga-nizations, in recognition of the efforts of soldiers who fought in World War II, asked that the day be renamed "Veterans Day" so it honored all soldiers and not just those who fought in World War I. n

Roasted Thanksgiving Turkey

Total Time: 25 hr, 10 min • Prep:10 minInactive: 20 hr • Cook: 5 hr

Yield:18 servings • Level: Easy

iNgrEdiENTS2 gallons water2 cups apple juice1 1/2 cups kosher salt2 cups brown sugar5 cloves garlic, crushed5 bay leaves4 tablespoons black peppercorns2 tablespoons dried rosemary3 oranges, peeled, white pith removed, skin roughly

chopped1 (20-pound) fresh turkey1 1/2 sticks softened butter3 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary leaves3 tablespoons chopped orange zest

dirECTiONSCombine the water, apple juice, salt, sugar, garlic,

bay leaves, peppercorns, dried rosemary, and orange peel in a large pot and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat immediately, cover, and allow mixture to come to room temperature. Cool mixture in the fridge until you're ready.

To brine the turkey, remove the turkey from wrapper, remove interior bags (set aside; refrigerate), and rinse turkey thoroughly under cool water.

Place the turkey into a plastic brining bag or a very large pot.

Pour the cooled brine mixture over the top, adding extra cold water if you need more to completely cover the turkey. Seal the bag or cover the pot and allow the turkey to brine in the refrigerator for 16 to 24 hours before roasting.

Before roasting, remove the turkey from brine and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Then soak in a sink full of fresh water for 15 to 20 minutes. Pat dry. Discard brine. (This soaking process will decrease the likelihood of too-salty gravy).

Preheat the oven 275 degrees F.Truss the bird and place it breast side up on a rack

in a large roasting pan. Cover the turkey tightly with heavy-duty foil. Make sure it's entirely covered (cover over the bottom edges of the pan). Place in the oven and roast for about 10 minutes per pound (a 20 pound turkey will roast for about 3 1/2 hours).

Remove the turkey from the oven and increase the temperature to 375 degrees F. Remove the aluminum foil and set aside. Mix the softened butter with the rosemary and orange zest and rub all over the skin of the turkey, covering every single inch of the skin. Insert a meat thermometer into the thigh, near the hip joint. Place the turkey, uncovered, back into the oven. Continue roasting the turkey, basting with butter every 30 minutes, until the thermometer registers 170 degrees F and until the juices are no longer pink.

Remove from the oven and cover with foil until you are ready to carve and serve. Reserve pan juices to make gravy.

Cook's Note: This is enough for a 20 pound fresh turkey. You can decrease the quantity for a smaller bird.

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon

iNgrEdiENTS3 pounds medium Brussels sprouts2 tablespoons vegetable oil8 thick slices bacon (about 8 ounces), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as neededFreshly ground black pepper

dirECTiONSBring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it gen-

erously. Trim the bottom end of the Brussels sprouts, leaving the core intact, and pull off the outer dark leaves. Halve through the core. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook, uncovered, until tender, about 6 min-utes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. (This can be done a day ahead.)

Meanwhile, put the oil and bacon in a very large skillet or stewpot, and cook over medium heat, stir-ring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the Brussels sprouts and cook, stirring occasionally, until they brown and the edges get crisp, about 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, salt, pepper, and bacon. Serve warm.

By the Light of the Moonby Ann reilly Cole ~ the journal

On Oct. 8, for the second time this year, night owls were able to

witness a very special lunar event. Those who ventured out in the wee hours of the morning were treated to an unusual view of the moon — a total lunar eclipse.

It was part of a series of four such eclipses within two years known as a “tetrad.”

The earth began casting a shadow over the moon at 1:17 a.m. By 3:37, totally eclipsed by the earth’s shadow, the moon temporarily disap-peared from view and then began to reappear until the eclipse was over by 4:22.

Similar to the way a sun-set sometimes appears red or orange because of atmospheric

conditions, the moon had a reddish light cast across its surface when it reappeared.

The next total lunar eclipses will be on April 4 and Sept. 28, 2015. n

The second high school district organized in San Diego County, Cuyamaca Union High School, opened in 1892 with 11 students and stood on Main Street in Julian near where the gas station is today. The school held classes there until 1937,

when it moved to its present location on Highway 78.

In 1955, the alumni asso-ciation donated the bell to “all past, present & future students, faculty, staff and trustees of Julian Union High School.”

For years, the bell stood

in an alcove on the façade of the JUHS science building as a symbol of the town’s history. Removed during the demolition of the old science building, the bell now stands on a pedestal outside the entrance of the brand-new science building. n

By Dr. John Young

It’s a sad statistical fact that the holidays — from Halloween to New Year’s Day — are a treacherous time when it comes to our health.

“There’s a spike in heart attacks and other cardiac issues,” says Dr. John Young, a physician specializing in the treatment of chronic illnesses through biochemical, physiological and nutra-ceutical technologies, and the author of “Beyond Treatment: Discover how to build a cellular foundation to achieve optimal health.”

“The incidence of pneumonia cases spikes in both cold and warm climates,” Dr. Young says. “And deaths from natural causes spike. In fact, more people die of natural causes on Christmas Day than any other day of the year.”

While those numbers are well- documented, the causes are not.

“Stress plays a role, particularly if your immune system is weakened,” he says. “If you look at how most of us eat from Halloween through New Year’s, it’s easy to see how the immune system takes a beating, and otherwise healthy people become more susceptible to illness.”

It’s basic biochemistry, he says.“We eat a lot more refined sugar, for

instance, which is a carbohydrate that’s been stripped of all the vitamins, miner-als and proteins that make up a com-plete carbohydrate. Our bodies can’t use that, so the cells in our digestive organs work overtime, burning up a lot of ener-gy, vitamins and minerals to digest it, and they get nothing back. So, eventually, they grow weak.”

So can we have a little sugar, and good health, too? Dr. Young says we can.

“The occasional slice of pumpkin pie is fine as long as you’re also feeding your cells with the nutrients they need — the minerals, vitamins, good quality protein, amino acids, essential fatty acids — to stay healthy.”

Young offers these suggestions for staying healthy through the holidays and throughout the year.

• Get your vitamin D. Vitamin D is actually a hormone, not a vitamin, and one of our best sources for it is sun-

shine. Unfortunately, many people work indoors all day, so they get little sun exposure. When they do go outside, they wear long sleeves and sunblock to protect against skin cancer. And, of course, in the wintertime, people tend to stay inside. As a result, many of us are vitamin D deficient and should be taking supplements.

“Vitamin D is crucial to many physi-ological systems, including our immune defenses,” Dr. Young says. “It helps fight bacterial and viral infections, including the flu. It supports our cardiovascular system. Optimal vitamin D levels can reduce hypertension, heart attacks and stroke. If I feel I’m coming down with a cold, I’ll take 40,000 units of vitamin D at bedtime. The next morning, I usually feel like a new person.”

• Eat your protein — 1 gram for every 2.2 pounds of body weight daily. In this country, we think a healthy diet means eating a lot of fruits and vegetables, but we’ve forgotten protein.

“Our immune system is made up of proteins, and our bones are 40 percent protein,” he says. “We need protein.”

When calculating protein intake, consider that an egg has about 8 grams, and 8 ounces of fish, chicken, beef or pork have about 30 grams.

Dr. Young does not recommend that any of his patients take more than 100 grams of protein a day.

• Get a good night’s sleep, exercise, and manage your stress. Yes, some doctors’ orders never change. Rest, exercise and finding effective, healthy ways to cope with stress are simple ways to pamper your cells.

“One of the many cellular benefits of exercise is that it increases the oxygen in our bloodstream. Every cell in our body requires oxygen, so consider exercise as another means of feeding your cells.”

It’s also important to manage stress during the holidays. With unchecked stress, our body releases large amounts of cortisol, which, among other things, suppresses the immune system.

“Take time out to listen to music or take a walk in the woods,” he says. “It feels good — and it’s good for you!” n
