New Superintendent/Principal Dr. Patrick Hefflin answer questions at Tuesday evenings High School “Open House” Turning schools around is her passion, working in a small community is her priority, entertaining her grandchild is her enjoyment. Welcome Dr. Patrick Hefflin to Julian, where she plans to settle in for a long time. Raised in Pittsburg, PA., she is the oldest of six. An error at the hospital turned her into the unique person she is, for her parents recognized early on, the name fit, and she recognized it made her special, and memorable to all she encounters. Highly focused and high energy is a first impression many parents came away from at the Open House last Tuesday. Her reasons for coming to Julian were simple, she wanted small town life and a challenge. A very spiritual person she saw the opening and prayed on it, then took action and couldn’t be happier to be here. The mother of three is looking forward to becoming active in the entire community as well as making a difference at the high school. She is looking for a place to call her own and end the two hour commute to Riverside County, once situated she hopes to become a fixture in town. Dr. Patrick Hefflin

For more than 20 years, Peter has taught string and electric bass and jazz studies at San Diego State University and CSU San Marcos. He is one of the top players on the San Diego music scene, performing for over 40 years. In 1995, after being on an international tour for three years with David Benoit’s band, Peter opened his recording studio, Spragueland in Del Mar. This past year Peter has traveled frequently as part of the Dianna Reeve’s tour. His innate ability to step into any group and to perform in a spectacular manner, enjoying the music of the moment is Peter’s gift! Peter began playing Guitar when he was twelve. He came from a musical family. He started out interested in Rock and Roll – after all, it was the sixties. Then garage band boot camp led to a unique change of plans when he was about fifteen. In 1970, Tripp and Peter along with other musician friends began playing gigs. “I started to get interested in jazz.” Up until that point, Sprague’s parents were constantly listening to Miles Davis, Bennie Carter, and Stan Getz. My father would pull out the bongos and Zen out for hours with the Miles recording Miles Ahead. Sprague said “I thought he was nuts! Jazz sounded so square and tame to me and the closest group I could make a connection with was Blood, Sweat and Tears playing their scorching version of “God Bless the Child”. Aside from performing and writing music, Peter Sprague manages a very successful music studio featuring jazz and folk artists. Earlier this year, he was commissioned to write a piece by Camarada called Sanctuary Suite. It debuted in April and was an instant hit. The suite is a remarkable piece of music that tells a story of a safe haven for African children having come to an orphanage in San Diego. Sprague regularly performs with six or seven groups throughout the county and his gigs can be found on his website www. petersprague.com. Sprague has also written a textbook on learning to play the guitar called “The Sprague Method” which is available on his website and is used at several local colleges. Enjoy an evening of excellent music, fabulous refreshments, and camaraderie at the Julian Branch Library. We hope everyone will attend this fantastic world class cultural music opportunity. The best part is you get it all, without having to purchase a ticket or travel down the hill. Please join us at the library on Tuesday, September 6 at 6 pm. For additional information, please call the Julian Branch at 760-765-0370. The library is located at 1850 Highway 78, next to Julian High School.

Jose Rameriez has a wide open field and will chug down the sideline for the Eagles first score of the season. A new football season has begun and a new staff is at the helm of the Eagles football program. It’s leader is a familiar face, Scott Munson - taking over as head coach once more. The team of six seniors, eight juniors and five sophomores will feature a running game and if Fridays opening contest against Warner was an indication, the old Woody Hayes slogan of “three yards in a cloud of dust” will be the rule. The game against the Wildcats was a good test for the new Eagles, at least for the first quarter. Warner featuring a team of nine total players was in for a long afternoon from the opening series.

Head coach Scott Munson is once again at the helm of the Eagles football team Julian took the opening kickoff and scored on their third offensive play. The Eagles had a 16 on the scoreboard at the end of the first quarter and 44 by half time. Warner was showing a zero, and not for lack of effort. The Wildcats just couldn’t maintain any momentum, and with all nine playing both ways they could have used a few more just to give the players on the field a breather. The coaches, to their credit tried to use their time outs to rest the team and give them a chance to recover before the
The Eagle defense was swarming to the ball all afternoon. Finished the day with four interceptions and a fumble recovery. photo by Lance Arenson, LPAKPhotography.com next series but the lack of numbers just would not allow them the opportunity. The Eagles will open up the home season Friday against the Avalon Lancers, who will make the boat trip and then bus ride to the thin air of our little mountain town. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 o’clock, great excuse to take off early from work and check out the new Eagles. Avalon shows 14 player on their roster, so they should make a game of it.
Another big hole for the Eagles to run through was the rule of the day.
