Friday Specials At The Library
“Charged Particles”
The Julian Library is pleased to be hosting the Charged Particles: Jazz with a Spark on Friday, May 11 for two shows. The first show will begin at 10:30 AM and the second at 1:00 PM. This group features three of the country's virtuosos in the acoustic and electric jazz arena. Murray Low is a keyboard wizard with dazzling Latin-jazz technique and imaginative improvisational skills. Aaron Germain is an inventive and sophisticated acoustic and electric bassist. Along with fiery drummer Jon Krosnick, these players are making some of the most electrifying jazz in the country today. The trio's repertoire blends jazz with elements of Latin music, funk, classical music, and other genres. The group's original compositions are mixtures of complex orchestration and elaborate improvised solos. The group brings a similar approach to playing arrangements of tunes by other jazz artists and traditional jazz standards by the composers of America's most popular songs from decades ago, each played with a new twist. Murray Low is a veteran pianist of the Bay Area jazz scene and has been playing, composing, arranging, recording and teaching professionally for over thirty years. His fluency in all forms of jazz and its blending with other idioms has led to a multi-faceted career spanning a wide variety of musical contexts. As an educator, Low currently teaches Jazz Piano and Ensemble performance at Stanford University, taught Jazz Theory and Improvisation at U.C. Santa Cruz from 2007- 2009, and was Artist-InResidence for the renowned Kuumbwa Jazz Center for 2008-2009. He also teaches privately and is an active consultant for several musicians in the area, and previously held positions at U.C. Berkeley and the Jazz School. Spending 20 years as a busy hired gun bass player, Aaron Germain has traveled the world and learned from the masters. Growing up in Massachusetts and studying at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts (with Yusef Lateef), he cut his teeth on upright and electric bass in bands playing jazz, blues, funk, reggae, and more, while traveling all around the northeast. Since moving to the Bay Area in 2000, his calendar has always been full, and he's expanded his repertoire to include salsa and Afro-Cuban music, Brazilian forro music, Caribbean steel pan music, Indian Kathak dance, calypso, and dense odd-meter jazz. Jon Krosnick began playing piano at age 6 and drums at age 9. The bulk of his formal musical training took place during ten summers spent at the National Music Camp in Interlochen, Michigan. There, he studied classical percussion and jazz drumming, and he performed with orchestras, concert bands, percussion ensembles, jazz bands, and back-up bands for musical theater performances. He also performed while studying at Harvard and played for MIT. Krosnick’s drumming style blends incredible technique (developed through his classical training) and a sensitivity to his fellow players with an explosive energy that propels the trio to electrifying velocities. Krosnick is also a professor of Communication and Political Science at Stanford University. The mixing of Low’s and Germain's harmonic and melodic talents with Krosnick’s rhythmic vitality sparks many exciting moments during their performance.
Charged Particles is Aaron Germain, Murray Low, Jon Krosnick The group's small size allows for sensitivity and spontaneity among the players, making each performance an enchanting improvisational exploration. The band's energy level is always high, even when they are cooking at a volume no louder than a whisper, or floating through the melody of a romantic ballad. Each piece they play brims with the fun the players have together and with the admiration they have for each other. www.chargedparticles.com We hope you join one of these special performances at the Julian Branch Library. The library is located at 1850 Highway 78. For more information, please call the branch at 760-765-0370.

High School WASC Final Presentation Message
Julian High School is proud to announce receiving a very favorable "Final Presentation" from the visiting WASC Committee. The Committee commended Julian Union High in successfully supporting the students through strong relationships being demonstrated between the staff and student body. They have also noted that Julian High is taking the necessary steps to offer all a-g courses so that students may meet and/or exceed in college and career readiness. The new, full time Counselor supports all the students both academically and emotionally, and the development of the Ag Career Pathway Program is providing many future opportunities. The Visiting Committee was greatly impressed with how the school maximizes the limited staff to provide numerous curricular and extracurricular activities, and equally impressed with the positive collaboration and commitment between the Julian Community, students, parents, and the Julian Union High School. We anticipate receiving the final report sometime in June 2018. Julian High would like to extend a big thank you to the Julian Community members, parents and students for helping with this successful accreditation.
Pinecrest Pool To Open May 30 The Pinecrest Retreat Swim Club is opening to the Julian community this year on Wednesday May 30th.

Dive Into The Octopus’ Garden With Dr. Michael Lang Tuesday Evening At The Library
Please join us at the Julian branch library on Tuesday, May 15 at 6pm as we host Dr. Michael Lang as he shares more of his knowledge about marine animals and their environment. This month’s topic is the Octopus, which is highly intelligent and a master of disguise. Sporting eight artificially intelligent arms, an ink sac, alien DNA, a radula inside a beak, rows of suckers, poison gland, incredible nervous control, instant camouflage and color change, night vision, jet propulsion, blue blood and 3 hearts, the octopus is by far the most interesting marine animal. Ranging in adult size from 3 inches to 23 feet, octopuses inhabit shallow to deep waters from the tropics to Antarctica and are seafood connoisseurs. From 1983-1989, Michael A. Lang investigated the life history and population dynamics of the California two-spot octopus. As it turns out, this is a sibling species complex (O. bimaculatus and O. bimaculoides) are hard to distinguish at first. These two octopuses have different egg sizes, ocellus, depth distributions, white spot patterns and adult sizes. There are six species of shallow-water octopuses in California and at least as many deep water species. Lang holds a B.Sc. in Zoology from San Diego State University, and a PhD in Environmental Physiology from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. He is fluent in five languages, has published over 50 scientific papers and popular articles and presents internationally on current marine science and diving medicine topics. Lang teaches and researches for UCSD and is their Co-Director for the Center of Excellence in Diving. Lang will capture our audience with his personal stories, professional quality photos, and most of all, you get to learn something fun and interesting from a leader in the field. We hope that you will join us at the Julian Library on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at 6 PM to learn about many kinds of Octopus. The library is located at 1850 Highway 78, Julian and you can reach us by calling 760-765-0370.
CPUC Says No To SDG&E Pipeline An Administrative Law Judge: Kersten of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has proposed Rejecting SDG&E’s request to build new natural gas pipeline in San Diego. The California Public Utilities Commission today issued a proposal that, if adopted at its June 21, 2018 Voting Meeting, would deny the request of San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) to build a new natural gas transmission pipeline, finding it is not needed for safety or reliability. The utilities are seeking CPUC approval to build a 47-mile long, 36-inch diameter natural gas transmission pipeline from Rainbow Station to Miramar, at a cost of $639 million. The pipeline would replace a 16-inch natural gas transmission pipeline, also from Rainbow Station to Miramar. The proposed route is located in San Diego County and crosses the cities of San Diego, Escondido, and Poway; unincorporated communities in San Diego County; and federal land. The proposal issued today by a CPUC Administrative Law Judge finds that the utilities’ most recent natural gas supply forecast and the CPUC’s reliability standard for gas planning do not demonstrate that there is a need for the proposed pipeline. The proposal orders the companies to pursue options for supply that may be needed in smaller amounts and for shorter periods of time in the coming years. “This decision was absolutely warranted because of the lack of evidence as to need, the burden to ratepayers, and in consideration of California’s clean energy goals,” said SanDiego350 Pipeline Campaign volunteer Stephanie Corkran, and this decision highlights that the mandate to move away from fossil fuels should be part of the decision making process of public officials and agencies.”
