Please join us for an evening of wonderful entertainment when Joe Rathburn performs at the Julian Branch Library on Tuesday, November 3 at 6 PM for our Music on the Mountain series. Joe Rathburn is a lifetime/ fulltime musician, hailing from San Diego, California (after a brief stint in his formative years in Flint Michigan.) During the San Diego Padres season, he will be performing at the Tin Fish for several hours before the opening pitch for most home games. If you have ever attended a Padres game with this librarian in tow, you know we will always stop and listen to a set or two. Joe’s music can be placed in the genre called Positive Music. His tunes have purpose, and carry with them more than just chord changes, grooves, catchy melodies, and hooks for the sake of their cool factor. They speak to the heart and mind of the listener directly. They uplift the soul in an instantly tangible way, while remaining fun, and interesting. From Rathburn’s website: “I’ve been plying my trade, music, since about 1972; never with an aim toward becoming rich and famous, but just because it seemed like what I was made to do…what I loved to do most. Years later, I’m still lovin’ what I do.” Rathburn’s website is www. joerathburn.com . Rathburn is the epitome of a consummate performer. He is a singer, songwriter and guitarist who plays to his audience. He is so enjoyable to be around and hear perform, always acknowledging his friends in the audience.

Eagles Finish At Home With Win
by H. “Buddy” Seifert
It was a great day for football in Julian; warm and dry and a game against a longtime rival, the Warner Springs High School Wildcats. The Wildcats won the opening toss and elected to defer and receive the ball at the opening of the second half. JJ Corrales took the Warner kick on the far side of the field at the Julian 20 and rifled a skip pass to Daniel Streamer on the home side of the field. The play netted a 21 yard pickup. 1st and 10 Julian at the Julian 41. Daniel smashed his way for 5 yards on his first 2 plays from scrimmage and Will Hatch finished off the possession with a 54 yard blast around left end for an Eagles touchdown. Will’s 2 point conversion behind a solid O line was good. 10:21 to go in the 1st, Warner Springs 0, Julian 8. Wildcat RB Wyatt Holt took Will’s kick at the Warner 28 and got a short return to the Wildcats 31. QB Cullen Smith’s first pass of the day to Holt fell incomplete but they made up for that with a 9 yard completion on 2nd down. Smith kept the rock and picked up a hard fought 3 yards for a Wildcats 1st down. After a fumbled snap and recovery, the Wildcats couldn’t get it done and went 3 and out. Streamer took the Wildcats short punt at the Warner 45 and turned on the rockets before he was dragged down at the Wildcats 5. In spite of an encroachment call on the Warner defense, Will got no blocking support and was taken down at the 3. QB Shane Cranfield’s quick pass to Gage Baay ended up just out of bounds in the endzone. On 3rd down, Will blazed across the goal line
Will Hatch finds the end zone for the Eagles 2nd score of the afternoon. His 2 point conversion attempt was successful. 6:33 left in the 1st quarter, Warner Springs 0, Julian 16. The Eagles kickoff sailed down to Holt at his own 15 and he made it back to the Warner 39 where he was tackled. Smith’s 3 passes to Trevor Osuna and Holt fell incomplete and the Wildcats punted away again. The Wildcats punt went out of bounds at the Eagles 10. On 1st down, Shane arced a perfect pass to Gage. Gage failed to tuck the ball away and he fumbled the ball at the Eagles 35. An alert Wildcat scooped up the lonely ball and returned it to the Eagles 31. Smith called his own number and picked up 13 yards, down to the Eagles 18. His handoff to Holt went nowhere, but they connected and a quick pass down to the Eagles 5. Smith’s pass to Osuna fell incomplete. Smith launched a pass to the goal line when Will stepped in front of the missile and returned the INT to the Eagles 6. Daniel took Shane’s handoff and it was off to the races. 94 yards later, Daniel is a bit winded and the Eagles scored again. continued on page 9
