Award-Winning Documentary Films Come to Julian This Weekend

Pancake Breakfast Fast Approaching

Meet some of the people who are using film media to show us the beauty of nature and introduce us to inspirational people who are working towards solutions to environmental problems that are affecting our communities, our planet and our children’s futures. Here is an introduction to some of the award-winning films that will be shown in the Julian High School Multi-purpose room this weekend by the Volcan Mountain Foundation. Film Session A, 10:30 to 12 noon This session starts with two Field Spotlight films, which showcase two female biologists working in the field with their rather envious jobs, one out in the ocean with dolphins and whales and the other rescuing sloths as they literally fall with their habitat trees that are being cut down in the rainforest. Meet “SLOMO,” a neurosurgeon who becomes increasingly frustrated with his “chasing the dollar” lifestyle. When his eye site goes bad due to macular degeneration, he decides to trade his lab coat for a pair of roller blades. He sells his fancy house, furniture and car and moves into a studio apartment and is now much happier spending his days rollerblading on the Mission/ Pacific Beach boardwalk.

It's that time of year again. The Annual Lake Cuyamaca Volunteer Fire Company Memorial Day Pancake Breakfast, Sunday May 25, 2014 8am - 1pm. Pancakes, Eggs, & Sausage. Raffle with a top prize of $500.00. All Proceeds go to back into the fire station to purchase gear and equipment for the 100% volunteer firefighters. Cost: Donations Welcome Hope to see everyone there.

ABC Sweep In Town Based upon intelligence obtained from local citizens, Deputies of the Julian Sheriff's station learned that possible ABC violations were occurring in the Julian area. Among the violations were reports of sales to minors and possible theft of alcoholic beverages. During April of 2014 an undercover enforcement operation was conducted within the Julian Townsite. The operation occurred over several different days and at different times during those days. At the conclusion of the detail two persons had been arrested for separate ABC violations (Minor in Possession of Alcohol & Furnishing Alcohol to a Minor). No other information was made available.

FIELD SPOTLIGHT, Nan Hauser Tom Xia to challenge a local family to live for one month without anything “made in China” while his parents struggle to fit in and embrace everything “American.” We are very fortunate to be able to welcome Tom and his parents, stars of the film, plus the director, Alicia Dwyer for an interesting conversation about colliding… or comingling… cultures. Session D, 5:30 to 6:15 With all the controversy and magazine articles very recently published in National Geographic

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE 5 CENT BAG TAX

SLOMO “Damocracy” explores the myth of dams as green energy. Should climate change solutions include the destruction of “the lungs of the earth” (Amazonia) and “the cradle of civilization (Mesopotamia)? You decide. Film session B, 1:30 to 3:15 Two Norwegian surfers spend 9 cold months on a remote arctic island in “Nord for Sola”, arriving with little more than their surfboards. They build a shelter with things that wash up on the beach and pick up so much trash on what should be a pristine beach that they call in a helicopter to remove the tons of garbage they collected. You will fall in love with Greg Treinish, National Geographic’s Adventurer of the year, who founded Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation, putting people who love the outdoors in touch with Scientists who can use them as their eyes and ears. He also introduces at-risk kids to nature and the wilderness. Zara McDonald will be speaking and answer questions after her film “Right Now, Living with Mountain Lions”, a challenge to respect the wild animals living around us. Session C, 3:30 to 5:15 You won’t want to miss this session with the award winning humorous film “Xmas Without China.” Pride and mischief inspire

and Time Magazine about fracking, people are demanding to know more. “Backyard” simply interviews five people in four states and lets you draw your own conclusions from the unnerving similarities that emerge from their shared experiences with the massive unseen entity that is “the natural gas extraction industry”. This film got several awards and we have a guest speaker who will address the 64 million dollar question, “Could our 200 million year old Julian Shist, which consists of shale and other minerals, be a target for fracking?” “Cascada” will have you hanging on to your seats, and your stomach, as these adventurous souls kayak right over some huge waterfalls (the cinematographers are no wimps either!) Tahoe Time gives us a few relaxing minutes of beautiful time –lapse photography, the perfect ending to a great film festival! Don’t miss the Julian Film Festival, May 16 and 17. See all the film descriptions, the full schedule of activities and purchase your tickets online at www.JulianFilmFestival. com. $10 a session, $25 for all sessions, $35 for a full Weekend Pass to all activities.

On Saturday, May 3rd, Spencer Valley Elementary students once again took part in the annual San Diego Student Shakespeare Festival held in Balboa Park in San Diego. This year, Spencer Valley students entered the Competition phase of the Festival with a collage of scenes from Julius Caesar, including the infamous assassination scene of Caesar by the Senators. They were rewarded for their outstanding performance with Best Scene for their age group and stage. The Shakespeare play is an annual spring tradition at Spencer Valley Elementary, with K-8th graders participating in a rotating selection of Shakespearean plays edited for length by local author Don Winslow. This is the first year, however, that they have won such an award, having participated in the festival for 8 years. Directed by teachers Heidi Schlotfeldt and Liz Jacobsen, the students performed in black garb with handcrafted animal masks that the students felt mirrored the personality of the characters they were performing. Sponsored each year by the San Diego Shakespeare Society, the Festival offers schools and students with a continued on page 5

Please come to the Julian branch library on Saturday, May 17 at 12:00 pm to hear author and long distance swimmer Mimi Hughes speak about her amazing journey swimming down the length of the Danube River. In 2006, Hughes swam 1,770 miles through nine countries on what is considered to be the most ‘international’ river. Her book, “Wider than a Mile” was released in 2013, documenting the remarkable triumphs and tribulations of she and her daughter, Kelsey in completing this journey.. In 2006, Hughes celebrated her 50th birthday while on the river and her 19 year-old daughter Kelsey, served as her navigator and only support person from a kayak. They had a clear mission, to finish the swim. There was much uncertainty during the swim. Although much preplanning had taken place and she had sponsorship and connections through the Rotary International and the World Wildlife Fund, the weather, water levels, governmental differences all played roles in her ability to complete the swim. The Danube rises in the Black Forest Mountains of western Germany and flows for some 1,770 miles (2,850 km) to its mouth on the Black Sea. Along its course, it passes through nine countries: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Ukraine. Hughes was the first person to swim the entire Danube without fins, and the first woman to complete the swim. Mimi Pettersen Hughes, a wife and mother of four, is a resident of Taft, Tennessee. She was born in California and spent her first 18 years in San Bernardino County. Mimi possesses a Master's degree in Reading, P - 12, and specialized in teaching dyslexic children. She also teaches ACT test preparation and power reading courses. Healthy lifestyle changes transformed Mimi from a couch potato into a successful triathlete whose resume includes running into (and out of) the Grand Canyon, a successful "escape" from Alcatraz, and a frigid swim across the Bering Strait from Alaska to Russia in 1997. She also swam the Tennessee and Ohio Rivers. After interviewing over the telephone, I found her to be a woman who makes a decision to complete something, and carries through with it. Her energy about making the world a better place is infectious and it will come across in her talk. On June 1st, 2007, she and Kelsey went back to the area to swim another river, the Drava, beginning in Leinz, Austria and joining the Danube in Bogojevo, Serbia. It was a memorial swim for David Reeder, a WWF employee who helped us during continued on page 7
