Palomar Mountain News

From: Tom Stinson for Marie Waldron [mailto:Tom.Stinson@asm.ca.gov]

The election is behind us…

Now that the election is over, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, the people of the 75^th Assembly District for the trust you have placed in me by allowing me to continue to serve as your voice in Sacramento.

As a small business owner, I am keenly aware of the burden the state’s excessive tax rates and overbearing regulations place on all Californians. Consequently, I am very pleased by the “A” rating I recently received from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association in their Legislative Report Card for this session. As a fiscal conservative, next session I will continue to oppose any proposals that would undermine California’s anemic economy with higher taxes.

As most of you also know, I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, and am proud of the “A” grade recently awarded me by the National Rifle Association. While protecting the Second Amendment is often an uphill job in Sacramento, I will continue to fight for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, one of our most fundamental civil rights.

Lower taxes, fiscal solvency, less burdensome regulations, protection of our constitutional rights, better schools, stronger families, enhanced public health and safety – these concerns drive me as a mother and citizen. I trust these are some of the reasons you have honored me with another term in the Assembly.

Please know that I will continue to fight on behalf of the citizens of this district and that I look forward to continuing to serve you to the best of my abilities.

Sent by,

Tom Stinson

You just never know what you’re going to see ’round the next bend!

Just another fun Fall Sighting on Palomar!

We all get an extra hour tonight to enjoy this lovely storm!  Burt Hulbert reported over an inch of rain last night on the South Grade. Now we’re getting even more of this much needed, wonderful rain.

So, change your clocks, and those batteries in your smoke detectors, and you’ll be all set to settle in ’round your warm fire up here tonight!

Happy Fall Y’all!

  Follow the signs to cabins, homes, and a wonderful ranch for sale on Palomar Mountain!  We just had a price reduction on two cabins!  Now as low as $110,000 or $119,000.  Would that do it for you?

There is land for sale, and some wonderful homes for sale – oh what views!

And take a look at the Ranch!  Oh! Like to try Palomar out for a few days at one of our Vacation Rentals?  There are lots of mid-week time available, weekends too, but filling up fast.!  We do it all for you!

I just happen to have the keys and can get you in!  Let’s go see!

 Barbara Anne Beishline Waite- Will tell of Mountain Life of 100 years ago at Apple Days

Hope you are coming to Apple Days in the State Park Sunday!  “Elsie” (also known as Barb) popped by this morning in full  costume, from Elsie’s pin, to her boots .  She picked some apples from the same trees her family tended over 100 years ago,  just a few feet from where they had a motel that burned down many few decades ago.

Barbara’s family has loved Palomar through the last 110 years and for 6 generations.

Her grandmother Elsie first came up Palomar Mtn with her parents in 1904 when she was a 16 year old girl. It was a 3 day horse & wagon trip from Long Beach. They camped at SilverCrest Camp Ground next to the Smith Douglas Hotel, exactly  where Apple Days will take place, and the family fell in love with Palomar. They bought an apple ranch and soon Elsie spent every summer on Palomar while her father remained year round to care for the orchard. That orchard is still producing some lovely apples.

Thankful that Elsie kept records.  Barb will share what they grew, when the apples were picked, the amount from a single tree and what they were paid for 100 apples. The list of foods grown on Palomar is rather amazing and on Sunday noon Barbara will share some of what Elsie left as a record of those years. They will also display an old apple sorter, used on the farm, that has survived the years.

Barbara is  working on a book based on Elsie’s stories and records she left in her journals telling of Palomar history. When Elsie married, and Barbara’s mother Catherine, was born Elsie’s family returned to live and operate the apple ranch in 1918.

Catherine Roberts Beishline grew up climbing apple trees. One of the varieties they grew was called Palomar Giants.

Catherine’s Aunt Mamie used to say they were “nearly as large as baby Catherine’s head”. Barbara will tell about some of the apple history on Palomar. You might be surprised at the large variety of foods grown here on the mountain.

Barb will also share a little about how the mountain folks worked together to create a community that lived off the land.

Come for lunch and taste the fresh squeezed apple juice. Lots of crafts, and fun for kids of all ages!
