POST NOTES

American Essayists

The American Legion in its national capacity is an organization that promotes Americanism through its’ youth programs and its’ celebration and promotion of distinctly American holidays. The Julian American Legion Post is no exception, particularly when it comes to the kids of our community.

In that regard, Julian’s American Legion Auxiliary conducts an Americanism essay contest each year in conjunction with the other Auxiliaries in district 22 and the national organization. In Julian, students as young as those in the fourth grade through high school seniors compete for cash prizes and the opportunity to advance through district, state and national competitions. Topics vary from year to year but the prevailing theme is Americanism that is age appropriate.

Last year I had the honor of joining the ladies in selecting the winners and runner-ups for our local contest and this year they’ve forwarded their selections to me and it is my pleasure and honor to announce this year’s winners.

In the fourth and fifth grades the topic was, Why Should I Show Respect for the American Flag? The essay must contain a minimum of two hundred words and not more than three hundred.

The awards were $50.00 for first, $25.00 for second and $15.00 for third as it was for all divisions.

Third place in this category was Jessica Bakken. Second, Geronimo Grant and may I quote from Geronimo, “The flag is not a political symbol. It is

In her essay she quotes Betsy Ross, “our hearts aching, our prayers praying, our flags waving, never forget.”

In the sixth and seventh grade division the Topic, How Can I Show That I am Proud to be an American?

Essays were two to three hundred words.

Third place went to Elizabeth Denny. She wrote, “America is my home, the land of the free. I would do anything for America because it’s done great things for me.” Second went to Lindsey Wagannen who quoted George Bush, “The greatest use of American power is to advance freedom.” The winner in this division was Kerrigan Pierce who wrote that “America was a dream that our founding fathers created in hopes of a better tomorrow.”

In the eighth and ninth grade division there were no winners, no losers… no entries.

I’ll remain silent. I hope my silence is deafening.

We had Special students in the eleven to fourteen year age group who needed to write twenty five words or more. The topic, Why Should I Thank a Veteran? These youngsters get it. The prevailing theme was Veterans fought, risked and some gave their lives… for us.

Third, Emma Guzman. Second, a tie between Mathew Duro and Shuullaw Romero. First prize went to William Brett Gill.

Our second group of Special students in the fourteen and nine months to twenty years with the same topic and length of essay. Third place went to India Lukeman who wins the Bill Fink award for the best cursive writing (a dying skill) I have seen in a long time. I loved her essay and enjoyed the easy eye pleasing read. Second place, April Duro “Veterans are the bravest people in our nation.” She wins the Bill Fink award for the best printing in the contest, perfect. And the winner in this division is Emily Phillips. “I should thank a

Veteran because I am here and safe because Veterans have fought for me.” As I recall Emily took second last year and nailed it this year. Congratulations.

The tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade topic was, What does “Liberty and Justice for All” mean to me? The essay required a minimum of three hundred words and not to exceed five hundred.

Linsay Cranfield took third.

She quoted Jefferson but she wrote “Our country fought for righteousness so everyone had an opportunity.”

Daniel Martin took second place. “… our country was founded on free will, the power to strive for better and not to be held down.” The winner of this division is twelfth grader Darren Duffy. Regarding the Pledge of Allegiance, Darren wrote “One particular phrase captures the essence of our nation’s ideology; it concludes the Pledge, and is of utmost importance, ‘…with liberty and justice for all.’ This component isn’t just there to wrap it up. To me, these words are a framework by which all citizens are given the opportunity to live and prosper.”

He also wrote that “The liberty and justice we possess allows us to endeavor to be the best we can be.”

Congratulations to all these kids and may I pass along a word of thanks to all the parents and teachers who are encouraging the kids in this important teachable contest. To the teachers of the winning kids, Mr. Evenson, Ms. Dennis, Mrs. McFedries, Mrs. Cirillo and Mrs. Wylie. You make the Auxiliary feel that they have an ally in passing American pride and tradition to our youngsters.

This Father's Day Think Beyond The Tie (StatePoint) The tie has been a traditional Father’s Day gift since the holiday was first celebrated.

But this year, men’s fashion experts say think beyond this staid accessory while Father’s Day shopping.

“The modern man is expressing himself in much broader ways and rounding out his wardrobe with more creativity than he has in the past,” says Denis Daly Wood, founder of Dalys 1895, fourth-generation luxury men’s designer and online retailer.

To give Dad the gift of contemporary style, Wood offers some great Father’s Day shopping tips: • Get inspired by Dad’s favorite hobbies. For example, if he’s an outdoor enthusiast, perhaps he would like a new sturdy backpack, hiking boots or gloves to wear during his next adventure. If he’s a writer, a leather-bound journal or engraved fountain pen are great gift ideas that could prove useful and personal. Search for items that could help Dad better enjoy doing the things he loves.

• Dad may have his favorite suits, but buying him an accessory to accent his outfit can make him look and feel his best when he’s at the office or out to dinner. A pocket square, like a limited edition Caravaggio silk pocket square, can add a level of continued on page 14

E.T. Wristwatch Q: I have an E.T. wristwatch.

What is it worth?

-- Carl, Salt Lake City, Utah A: Steven Spielberg's "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial" opened in theaters in 1982, the same year your watch was made by Nelsonic. Occasionally this watch pops up in shops and at antique malls and is generally priced in the $25 to $100 range.

-- Mark, Norman, Oklahoma A: Harlequin dinnerware was produced by Homer Laughlin China Company of Newell, West Virginia, starting in 1938.

The pattern was marketed exclusively by the Woolworth five-and-dime stores and was extremely popular. A special set was issued to celebrate Woolworth's 100th anniversary in 1979. Changes were made so the newer pieces could be more easily distinguished from the earlier ones. *** Q: I have an old sewing machine that has been in my family for at least a century. It is a "Household" machine. What can you tell me about it?

-- Sally, Portsmouth, Virginia A: The company began as the Providence Tool Company in Providence, Rhode Island.

Even in the beginning, the main business was the manufacturing of sewing machines. The company name was changed to Household Sewing Machine in 1890 and continued until about 1906. *** Q: I have a porcelain doll that has been in my family since about 1910. The doll needs some repair work. Can you suggest someone who can do this for me?

-- Katie, Walnut Grove, Arkansas

A: Dolls & Designs is a business that specializes in dolls repair. Contact is 122 Main St. West, Valdese, NC 2869; www. dollsanddesigns.webs.com; and 828-893-0640. *** Q: I was given a trinket box by Hummel for my birthday several years ago. It is "Umbrella Boy." Is it worth keeping?

-- Betty, San Diego, CA A: According to "The Official M.J. Hummel Price Guide" by Heidi Ann Von Recklinghausen and published by Krause Books, your trinket box is worth about $35.
