2016 Melodrama Is Based On An Actual Event, The Cuyamaca Land Float
There is a wide variety of art on display ranging from oil and watercolor paintings to woven art, photography, pottery, sculpture, jewelry and handmade cards. Many artists offer smaller items at very affordable prices in addition to more expensive works, resulting in a choice of unusual and original Christmas gifts at all price levels. Brochures with maps are available at all artists’ sites and the roads are marked with bright yellow signs. Visitors are asked to purchase a wristband—one person in each car—for $10. Brochures and wristbands are also at the Julian Chamber of Commerce (in the Town Hall, Julian) and at a number of merchants in the area.

Just over a hundred years ago, a very complex and elongated dispute erupted concerning the actual boundaries of the Cuyamaca Rancho Land Grant. It was a dispute which involved land speculators, miners, and the townspeople of San Diego. The dispute revolved around the northern boundaries of the 35,000 acre Cuyamaca Rancho Land Grant, where gold was discovered on Washington’s Birthday in 1870 (hence the name Washington Mine), setting off the local gold in Julian. The land owners of the Rancho claimed that the land on which the mines existed rightfully belonged to them, while at the same time the miners and citizens of Julian claimed the land was public. The owners of the Cuyamaca Grant claimed that their northern boundaries stretched over into this area and consequently they demanded royalties from these mines or the right to shut them down if they did not comply. As a result of this action one of the most interesting trials in the history of San Diego occurred. The area was surveyed and “proven” to belong to the owners of the Rancho. However, through a lengthy legal battle, the land was eventually resurveyed (The Stalwart Surveyor) and in 1873, the courts ruled that the Rancho did not include Julian and the mines. Someone, unnamed, wrote this poem about the Cuyamaca Land Float. It’s very lengthy, like the dispute and trial were, but here is the beginning…. Ye Stalwart sons of labor, who live within this state An interesting history in you I will relate Tis of the Cuyamaca Grant, which everyone must own To be the most gigantic feud that ever yet was known The swindle was projected when first our mines were found When Pascoe made his false survey, to take in all our ground. Their scheme was not successful, although they ran their lines To survey in our farming lands, and also take our mines We soon employed a lawyer this false survey to fight, And Hardenburgh decided that we were in the right, The case was sent to Washington and what did Drummond do But send it back immediately to have it tried anew…. Performances are every Friday and Saturday night at 7 and every Saturday and Sunday afternoon at 2, starting on October 7th and running through the end of October. Tickets can be purchased at the door one hour before performances, at the Chamber Office during business hours, or online at www.JulianMelodrama.com. Tickets are $10 for anyone over 12, $5 for children aged 5-12. Families of 4 can get in for $25. Many people are saying this year’s play is the best one yet, under the direction of Stacy Hodo. Come join us for two hours of oldfashioned inexpensive fun and entertainment and support your 40 neighbors who have volunteered two months of their lives to bring this 60 year tradition to Julian for another year.

The girls finished 8th of 13 teams with Freshman Maya Moniz finishing first for Julian in a time of 21:49 and a 9th place finish among 98 competitors. This was the girls first 5k of the season and for some first 5k ever, we were very proud of them all. Our boys were excited to be finally racing as a full team all in one race. They all went out very aggressive and were winning the race at mile 2; however, Francis Parker came up and ran an impressive last mile. Julian finished 2nd out of 21 teams, we couldn’t be more proud of the effort they gave. This last Friday was our first League competition. Julian hosted the first of 2 meets at our new home course at the Ramona Community Park. It was well attended, and with the help of many parents went off without a hitch. Julian Boys won with a score of 17 to Mountain Empires 41. The top 5 boys ran in a pack to mile 2 then made the decision to go with how they felt. Ethan Elisara finished 1st, Dusty Flack 2nd, Shane Duffy 3rd, Nikolas Carneiro 5th, PJ Davis-Scholl 6th and ran a PR, Nat Copeland 9th also running a PR and Ryan Lay 13th.
