Tree Lighting Tradition Continues Saturday
And the angel said unto them, "Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2: 10 - 14. So begins the Julian Christmas season! Town is decorated, and the big tree is ready to be lighted for the public on Saturday, November 26. This year's festivities begin at the park at 1PM, as Alex Sharps and Ken Wright kick off the musical set with bluegrass-themed holiday tunes. Jake's Mountain with Janice Bina-Smith and Blake Rogers takes the stage next, followed by the dancers from the Ramona-Julian Dance Academy. Joe Rathburn is returning to the Julian stage with the largest collection of Christmas tunes in all 50 states! New this year is the Julian Arts Guild Chorale, a larger group taking the place of the previous Victorian Carolers. Jesse Cross will entertain the families waiting in line for Santa with his high energy singing and guitar playing. Scott Kinney finishes up with some Christmas readings, setting the scene for the lighting of the tree after sundown, and the arrival of Santa. Come and enjoy the annual tree lighting tradition in the Pioneer Museum Park. For locals only, the second annual "dress rehearsal" takes place Friday November 25, around 5PM. We will light the tree prior to welcoming the large crowds on Saturday. Musicians, please bring some stringed instruments on Friday for our holiday acoustic open mic night/caroling jam session.
The Julian Branch library is happy to be hosting an author panel with three local authors, Kiki Skagen Munshi, Kim Robson and Cathy Scott, on Wednesday, November 30 at 3:30 PM. Munshi and Robson have both recently published novels, while Scott is a non-fiction author, predominately in the true crime genre. The three will discuss their writing process and tell a little about their books, while Scott is prepared to discuss what happens when you get writer’s block and how to get through it. Whether you are an aspiring author, or just appreciate those who use their investigative skills or imagination to tell their stories, you will want to be here for the presentation and stay for the question and answer time. Kiki Skagen Munshi is a fourth generation Julian resident and graduate from Julian High. After college, she joined the US Foreign Service. Kiki served in US Embassies in Nigeria, Romania, Greece, Washington, DC, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, India and Romania before retiring in 2003.

Boys Cross Country Team Onward To The State Meet
from Coach Sandy Balcom
Julian High School Boys Cross Country Team finished 3rd at San Diego Section CIF Finals, earning them a trip to the State Meet in Fresno. Our boys had a plan and executed it well, we as coaches couldn’t be more proud. Our top finisher, Ethan Elisara ran the best we have seen him all season, he went out with the boy from Maranatha Christian, and they battled throughout the 3.04 mile course with Ethan finishing second in 17:17 a PR and the winning time at last year’s race. Freshman Dusty Flack held his own, leaving everything on the course to finish 14th and running the fastest time a freshman from Julian has ever run on the CIF course in 18:13. Nicolas Carneiro had an exciting start taking the lead at the 800 meter mark and hanging onto Ethan and the Maranatha runner for the first 1200 meters. He ran a 5:28 first mile and worked with Senior Shane Duffy throughout to finish 17th and 18th. This will be Shane’s first state meet, a great way to end his high school career. Our 5th man, PJ Davis Scholl did an amazing job… Last year he ran 21:06, this year he finished 19th overall with an 18:46. He has done nothing but progress all season and become a real contender on the course. Rounding off the team was freshman Nathaniel Copeland and Sophomore Ryan Lay. All seven boys ran lifetime personal records. Our goal was to have our top 5 in the top 25 positions; they finished in the top 19. The state meet is held at Woodward Park in Fresno, Saturday November 26th. Our girls team finished 9th among 11 teams. Maya Moniz finished 12th and missed the state meet by only 2 positions. She had a great freshman season, breaking school records on many of the courses she will be one to watch for the next 3 years. Freshman Calea Cruz was our next finisher in 43rd and 21:16, Freshman Cheyenne Booth had a breakthrough race in 21:51 for 52nd place, Esme Killiane 22:30, Lakota Booth 22:33, Rylie Boyd 23:05 and Chelsea Vickers ran a PR in 24:18. We are proud of both our teams.
