Julian High School Senior Spotlight
Each week leading up to graduation the Julian News is shinning a spotlight on the graduating senior class at Julian High School. In part
because with the pandemic protocols students have not had the opportunities to show their talents as they might during a normal year, with
all activities being curtailed.

From The Supervisor’s Desk
Notes from Supervisor Joel Anderson
Law Enforcement
Officers Should Receive
the Covid-19 Vaccination
“Shocked and disappointed.”
That was the response local
law enforcement had to the
San Diego County Board
of Supervisors voting down
my proposal to immediately
vaccinate law enforcement
personnel. Only Supervisor Jim
Desmond joined me in voting to
protect cops against COVID-19.
Current County criteria calls
for emergency responders who
perform CPR to be placed in the top tier for COVID-19 vaccinations.
This includes EMTs, firefighters and lifeguards. But not law
enforcement officers.
County officials insist they are following the direction of the State
of California, but the Governor and state officials have made it very
clear that local Counties have full discretion where to tier individual
groups. In fact, 27 other counties already vaccinate law enforcement
officers.
About 10,000 lives are saved every year because of the emergency
responsiveness of law enforcement officers who routinely respond
to individuals requiring medical attention and CPR measures. These
officers are exposed to people that have contracted COVID-19 and,
without vaccination, not only are our cops at risk, but so are their
medical counterparts, their coworkers, and their families.
It is important to know that there are about 4,000 front-line local
law enforcement officers who would be prioritized for immediate
vaccination. This includes those who patrol our streets and
neighborhoods. Those opposed to allowing cops to be vaccinated
now say it will put others more vulnerable, such as the elderly, at risk.
And while admittedly there is a shortage of vaccine, the County of
San Diego has the capacity to vaccinate 25,000 people a day and
has already vaccinated about 500,000 people. By prioritizing police,
we would at most delay some others receiving vaccinations by only
a few days.
But when law enforcement officers are infected with COVID-19 they
are taken out of circulation to serve. That means less cops to respond
to calls, less cops to make arrests and less cops to keep us safe.
While true that if a cop is struck down with COVID-19, like firefighters
and other young healthy people, they are less likely to die. But it is
more likely others will die or be hurt because those law enforcement
officials will not be there when you make the call that someone is
breaking into your home.
I am hearing from people all over my district, and throughout San
Diego County, who believe our cops should be treated like other
emergency first responders and given priority for vaccinations.
In a poll I conducted on my website, more than 1200 individuals
responded with 98% supporting this action. Join me in showing your
support for our cops receiving the vaccination now. Please visit my
website at www.supervisorjoelanderson.com and make your voice
heard.

San Diego Superior Court
Judge Earl H. Maas III, who heard
arguments Friday afternoon
from attorneys representing the
state, county and the two student
athletes, agreed with the plaintiffs
in his written ruling that young
athletes were not at greater risk
of contracting or transmitting
COVID-19 than their professional
or collegiate counterparts.
Maas wrote that he was
not persuaded by arguments
from the state and county that
professional and collegiate
teams represented a lower risk of
spreading the virus due to their
being far fewer pro and college
teams.
“The game is the same, the
risk of spread is similar, the youth
are already practicing and with
school closures or limitations on
attendance, youth are isolated,”
Maas wrote.
Maas briefly referenced the
new guidelines issued by the
state, but wrote that “competent
evidence was not provided to the
court in this regard” at Friday’s
hearing and thus he declined “to
anticipate what the (state) `may’
do in the coming week.”
The ruling came hours after
state leaders announced the new
state guidance, which allows
counties that reach the 14-case
threshold to resume basketball,
football, ice hockey, lacrosse,
rugby, rowing/crew, soccer and
water polo.
Under the state guidelines,
resuming football, rugby and
water polo will also require weekly
COVID testing of players — aged
13 and above — and coaches,
with test results made available
within 24 hours of a competition.
Gov. Gavin Newsom said the
state would absorb the cost of
the required testing.
The guidance applies to all
forms of organized youth sports,
including school and community
programs, and private clubs and
leagues.
Newsom said the combination
of school closures and the
inability for youth to participate
in sports has had both a physical
and mental health impact, “in
profound and significant and in
many cases deleterious ways.”
He said the downward trends
in COVID cases in California
prompted the state to move
forward with a resumption of
youth sports.
“We are now confident … that
we can get youth sports moving
again in the state of California,
get competition moving again in
the state of California with, as
always, caveats,” he said. “None
of us are naive. … Despite those
very encouraging trends, we
still need to be cautious until we
reach herd immunity.”
San Diego County Supervisor
Nathan Fletcher said the county
was ready and waiting to resume
youth sports safely.
“We have seen considerable
progress on vaccines and lower
cases, and this is a positive step
forward in our recovery,” he said.
“I applaud Governor Newsom,
and commend Ron Gladnick
who has been a great partner
in working with my office, the
governor and our public health
experts to see progress in the
effort to let our kids play.”
Gladnick is the head football
coach of Torrey Pines High
School and has been a vocal
advocate for letting youth sports
resume. He sent a tweet thanking
Fletcher, Supervisor Jim
Desmond and former Republican
candidate for governor John Cox
for working across ideological
lines on the issue.
“It’s awesome when people
can put small differences aside
to serve a higher purpose like
kids,” he wrote.
Currently Julian has their
Cross Country Team competing,
they traveled to Mountain Empire

How To Raise A Healthy Eater
At Every Stage Of Childhood
(Family Features) Daily food
choices can have a profound
impact on overall health and
well-being. Not only do healthy
dietary patterns help maintain
good health, they also reduce
the risk of chronic diseases
throughout all stages of life.
The United States Department of Agriculture's Dietary Guidelines
for Americans, 2020-2025, and nutrition experts agree it is vital to
establish healthy eating habits early and maintain them throughout
childhood.
"Research shows toddlers who eat a wide variety of foods are
more likely to carry those habits into adulthood, so it's important to
introduce and reinforce healthy eating habits from the time a child
starts to eat solid foods," said Courtney Hines, KinderCare Learning
Centers' registered dietitian. "In fact, the first two years of a child's life
are often referred to as 'the golden window' because this is when kids
are most open to trying new foods and flavors. By encouraging variety
and healthy eating early in life, parents and families can dramatically
reduce picky eating habits many toddlers and children develop over
time while also helping their children develop balanced relationships
with food they'll carry with them into adulthood."
Consider these tips and tricks to try at home with kids of all ages to
build healthy eating habits and excitement around trying new foods.
Babies
When babies are ready for solid foods, be sure to expose them
to a wide variety of whole, unprocessed foods with varying flavors
and textures. Start with soft foods like mashed potatoes, avocados,
cooked rice and bananas until your children are ready for firmer
solids.
Toddlers
Toddlers who turns up their noses at veggies or fruit may be more
open-minded if they're an active participant in mealtime prep. Ask
your children to pick one new fruit or vegetable and agree that you'll
both taste it. Asking your children to describe the appearance, texture,
taste and smell of the food can also be a fun way to build vocabulary.
Preschoolers
Around the 2- or 3-year mark, children become interested in
investigating and learning. Engage their natural curiosity in the world
around them by planting a small vegetable, fruit or herb garden for
your tiny chefs to tend to - it can be as simple as a windowsill garden.
Gardening helps children understand where healthy, nutritious foods
come from. Plus, children are more likely to eat what they've grown,
which means more fruit and veggies in their diets.
School-agers
The kitchen is chock-full of learning opportunities for all ages.
School-agers can work on their math skills as they measure
ingredients for recipes.
"Cooking together also gives parents an opportunity to talk about
nutrition in terms children can understand," Hines said. "For example,
carbohydrates, like bread, provide energy for our bodies and brains.
When we eat carbohydrates, our bodies store them for later. That's
why we're having whole-grain pancakes for breakfast, so you have
the energy you need to fuel your brain and body all morning."

all ages, visit kindercare.com.
