Welcome Louise to the Community Center Board!

New CCPM Board Member

We would like to extend a warm welcome to Louise Walls, our newly appointed CCPM Board Member. Louise Walls is a retired Administrative Assistant and has been a mountain resident for 8-1/2 years. She is the wife of Earl Walls, who designed the new Center and managed the remodel project. Louise and her family have volunteered countless hours at the Center over many years.

As an 8-1/2 year mountain resident, Louise has watched the Center evolve from an old dirty building to what it is today and is looking forward to helping make it a focal point of our mountain community.

Tales of “Deadman’s Hole and Death Alley”

TK Bergman passed on another story including tales of Palomar a hundred years or so ago.  Written by Jeff Smith and published in The Reader, I’m guessing the next time you are driving along Hwy 79 pretty confident that you will get to your destination in one piece, you may think of trials some of the pioneers endured along the same road. 

Here is a quote from Arlie to lure you into Jeff’s story of days not so long ago:  

“Deadman’s isn’t a good place to rob a stage passing through,” says Arlie Bergman, whose ancestors — the Bergmans and Mendenhalls — helped settle Palomar Mountain. “They were always ready for trouble; in fact, there were very few Butterfield robberies around here. But it’s a good place to bushwhack individuals camped alone near the springs. They had to have money on them somewhere.”

Now click for the rest of the story!

Bugs Bugging you?

Tis the season for mosquitos and those nasty no see ‘ums.  I stumbled across an easy way to stop the itching.

 After trying many sprays, creams and gels they haven’t worked for me this year but SALT does!

We’d been at a BBQ with friends where I’d worn little capris. Those bugs had attacked my ankles after dining on my arms.  the next day I went in for a pedicure and the gal offered a salt rub.  I thought the salt would feel good on those bites that were making me a little more crazy than normal.   After the salt rub on my ankles, I realized they were not intching anymore but my arms still had big welts that were demanding attention.  I rubbed some of the salt on my arms, and immediately they felt fine.

I’ve been off the mountain much of the past two weeks and came home to a welcoming committee of those annoying bugs.  This morning I got the salt out and thought “wow, this salt really works, I should turn this tip around to the Mountain News!”

So, there you have it.  I have a little saucer of salt, dampen the area of the bite, dab my fingers in the salt and rub (feels so good!).  Sometimes I have salted a second time but if I use enough salt the first time, I’m never bothered again. Pretty amazing!

Hope it helps you too.  Now, go out and enjoy the great outdoors!  🙂

From: Irene McCulloch

Sadly, as some of you know, our wonderful long-time Palomar friend, Lois Day, passed away last Thursday night at her home with her husband Richard, and Gail & Chris and their children, by her side after a month or so of failing health. She had loving help from her family and as well as very supportive Hospice visits.

 Her family will join together this weekend and plan a Memorial service.

 What a wonderful difference one life has made. We will surely miss her, honor her, and remember her for her wonderful warmth and her quality of friendship.
