Pioneer Museum Presents:
A Julian Play "Albert and Margaret" The Julian Pioneer Museum announces a showing of their play, “Albert and Margaret” on Monday April 30th at 7 p.m. Albert and Margaret Robinson met in Julian in the early 1880’s. After marrying in 1886, they started a restaurant and bakery. Eventually they built the Hotel Robinson, now known as the Julian Gold Rush Hotel. They succeeded in the face of hardships, where others may have failed. This inspiring story is told by Albert (Antonio TJ Johnson) and Margaret (Sylvia M' Lafi Thompson) in a two person reading on the stage of the newly renovated Julian High School Little Theater. Antonio TJ Johnson and Sylvia M’ Lafi Thompson are both multiple award winning actors, including the Critics Circle Craig Noel Awards. This performance is provided as part of the ongoing educational programs presented by the Julian Pioneer Museum. Funding is provided by the County of San Diego’s Community Enhancement Program.

We were one pint shy of being eligible for a scholarship, but, honestly, i couldn’t be prouder and more thankful to everyone that came out and everyone that gave or tried to give... lots of lives touched!” The nexty scheduled blood drive is next school year in August.

Patrick Berrogain’s Hot Club Combo
by Michael Hart
Thursday nights High School board meeting was pretty much business as usual with two exceptions. First - Academic Counselor Shaundra Ziegenbein, presented to the board her proposal for next years curricula which is designed to meet the needs of all student while providing an opportunity for those who are striving to attend a U.C. (UCSD) or State University (ie. Cal State San Marcos, San Diego State) directly from high school. A large part of the focus was on improving the offerings in the Agriculture and Vocational areas. This would encourage those students who are looking for potential careers outside the college path while giving the college bound other options. The new courses for 2018-19 to be offered are: 1. Health, Glenco Health, 2007. Aligned w/National Health Education Standards 2. Art and History of Floral Design-Visual/Fine Art 3. Sustainable Ag-Lab Science- Biology 4. Ag Chemistry-Lab ScienceChemistry 5. Veterinaiy Science — Elective/Lab Science-Biology 6. Beginning Ag Mechanics 7. Ag Mechanic II 8. Advanced Ag Mechanics II 9. Ag Mechanics III 10. Enhanced Integrated Math III/Pre-Calculus 11. AVID 2 EL 12. Anatomy and Physiology in Veterinary Science 13. Writing Games for Social Change: English, Social Justice and Game Design a. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card In addition to the curriculum being updated the board interviewed candidates for the open board position, which will be filled by Joy Booth. With 13 years of ecperience from serving on the elementary school board it was felt that she was the best fit to help the High School continue on it’s path to fiscal sustain-ability and academic improvement. Currently a stay at home mom, she has a degree from Albany College of Pharmacy and is registered in California and New York. Mrs. Booth and her husband currently own a commercial real estate business. Her interest in the school is personal, having a child currently in attendance. Although she is also fully aware of the duties and responsibilities of a board member. She want to see the school provide more opportunities for all the students to reach their maximum potential, and be able to look back on their high school experience positively. She joins the board as an interim appointment and will be eligible to run for a full term in November. The next major decision for the board is the budget, it is scheduled for a public hearing at the next regular meeting on May 17, 6pm in room 4 at the High School. Even with the currently reduced staffing and other issues the board seems to have a vision for the future that is being implemented with each meeting. Graduation for the Class of 2018 is June 1.
Spring Sports Schedules The Friends of the Julian Library are pleased to be presenting Patrick Berrogain’s Hot Club Combo for Music on the Mountain on Tuesday, May 1, 2018 at 6 PM. The Patrick Berrogain Jazz Trio Combo will be performing a mix of original music, popular tunes transformed through the lens of Gypsy jazz, and some Django Reinhardt tunes. Berrogain will be playing lead with Steve Greim on Rhythm Guitar and Ben Wanicur on Acoustic Bass. Born and raised in southern France, Berrogain entered into the music world at the age of 14 when he bought his first guitar with money he made from summer jobs. It was not long before he began playing bass and guitar semi-professionally while finishing high school. At 19, he landed a touring gig with an Italian pop band, Delta Landa, with whom he traveled the world for five years. He then moved to Ivory Coast, Africa where he performed pop with a local band, raising enough money to move to the US. In 1984, Berrogain decided to follow his dream to study jazz in America. He enrolled in the Musician's Institute where he honed his jazz guitar skills from the likes of Joe Di'Orio and Scott Henderson. Simultaneously he studied composition and arranging at the Dick Groove School of Music. He graduated with special mention from the Institute in '85. It was at the school where he met his good friend Peter Sprague, with whom he studied nylon string guitar. With Sprague’s encouragement, Berrigain moved to San Diego where he has lived ever since. Although growing up in a culture that was steeped a jazz repertoire, it was not until 1998 that Patrick's interest in Gypsy jazz piqued. He studied the music and history of Django Reinhardt. In 2007, Patrick created his latest Gypsy jazz group, HOT CLUB COMBO. Today, Patrick enjoys writing and arranging for a variety of musical groups and teaching guitar. His music has been used on radio and television around the world. In addition to playing lead with Hot Club, Patrick has occasionally performed as a rhythm player for Gypsy Jazz master Angelo Debarre and is the translator/accompanist for Angelo's Djangofest workshops. Ben Wanicur started playing the bass when he was 18 years old. Although aspiring to play drums in the high school jazz band, but there were too many drummers and zero bassists. He took home the school electric bass for the summer and has not looked back since. Wanicur arrived in San Diego after undergraduate studies at William Patterson University, playing with many local upper echelon of jazz musicians, before moving to San Francisco in 2006. In the Bay area, Wanicur worked with pianist Mark Levine, saxophonist/educator Andrew Speight and legendary drummer Donald (Duck) Bailey. The bassist returned to San Diego in 2011, hoping to learn how to surf and reestablish himself on the local jazz scene. In late 2012, he began recording tracks with his Ben Wanicur Quartet, which includes guitar virtuoso Peter Sprague, tenor saxophonist Ian Tordella, and young drum phenomenon Charlie Weller, back in San Diego after earning a degree from the famed Berklee School of Music in Boston. The resulting full-length the Excluded Middle was released in May 2013. Come for an evening of Jazz. The Music on the Mountain performance will take place on Tuesday, May 1 at 6:00 PM and is always free. We encourage you to arrive early for the best seats, check out some materials and then enjoy the refreshments that follow. The library is located at 1850 Highway 78 next to the High School. For more information, please call the branch at 760-7650370 or check the library’s website at www.sdcl.org or the Julian Branch Library Facebook Page.
