The Magic of Apple Days

Apple Days 2014 By Tracy Rolling ~ the journal

very fall, something spectacular happens in Julian, and it’s known as “Apple Days.” The annual extravaganza began in late August, when folks flock to “U-pick” orchards and participate in harvesting the tasty, sun-ripened fruit. Various orchards provide baskets for

visitors to carry the produce plucked from designated trees. They charge by the peck or pound, and townspeople pull out their recipes for culinary creations that include applesauce, apple cobbler and the ever-popular apple pie. The event is traced back to the early 1900s, when Julian apples received national recognition, and ranchers and

Ransom Brothers

town leaders unveiled the Apple Day concept by hosting a dinner and dance at Town Hall. Over the years, Apple Days has evolved into a seasonal celebration. “Today, Julian Apple Days is no longer a single-day event but a full twomonth celebration with a variety of daily activities,” said Tracy Turner, of the Julian Chamber of Commerce.

Meteorologist and IT Specialist Show Locals How to Forecast Weather

By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

ulian Library was packed to overflowing, as Kentwood resident and professional meteorologist Steve Vanderburg offered instruction about weather patterns, forecasting and how to use freely accessible data to create personal forecasts for weather and high-risk wildfire conditions. It was part of last month’s Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District CERT program class. Over two short hours, Vanderburg presented a crash course on the nature of rain and snow, El Niño, Santa Ana winds, fuel science and fire weather predictions. In addition, Wynola resident Greg Hidley, information technology specialist at UCSD, presented his work on the High Performance Wireless Research and Education Network, HPWREN, demonstrating how to view up-to-the-minute camera feeds from locations around San Diego County to observe weather conditions. A self-professed weather nerd, Vanderburg spent four years chasing tornadoes in Oklahoma before he went to work for the National Weather Service for 10 years. While

there, he did a stint managing the Red Flag Warning system as part of the Fire Weather program. Currently, he is a senior meteorologist at SDG&E, where he works on fire weather predictions, solar forecasting and climate change. A Southern Californian by birth, Vanderburg settled in Julian precisely because he wanted to live in an environment where he can study a variety of weather conditions

firsthand. During his daily commutes to work, for example, he learned that a snowfall before sunrise will result in icy road conditions, but if the snow comes after sunrise, the roads will be safer

satellite images, he demystified the forecasting business with humor, explaining how to translate typical, generic weather predictions from news broadcasts into specific information backcountry residents can use to prepare for good weather or bad. For instance the prediction, “Thirty percent chance of thunderstorms,” can be understood as a storm will likely happen somewhere, but maybe not exactly where you are standing, a condition that Julian residents experience regularly. He explained that a 1- to 2-degree error in air temperature prediction could result in 250- to 500-foot error in the snow-level prediction. “We live in the highest level of uncertainty with regard to snow predictions, because we are right at the snowline,” he said. Where there used to be weather stations only at airports and a few other locations, there are now 170 weather

SDG&E, in collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service and University of California, Los Angeles, has created the Santa Ana Wildfire Threat Index, a tool similar to the scale used to rate predicted hurricane severity. Considering collected data on wind speeds, humidity, grasses, dead fuels and live fuels going back 30 years, a supercomputer crunched numbers for several months to create an algorithm that correlates to wildfire risk. As a result, researchers have learned to distinguish between days that have no or mild risk of wildfire, and those where, if ignition occurs, the risk is high to extreme that there will be a large fire of more than 250 acres, requiring professional fire suppression efforts. This information is available as a six-day forecast and

Fly to the Finish

By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

Annual Run Returns to Julian

ack by popular demand after a nine-year hiatus, the Julian Eagles Booster Club-sponsored “Fly to the Finish” 16th annual 5K/10K Run through Julian and a 1K walk/fun run returns Saturday, Nov. 7. The sanctioned event is on a USA Track & Field-certified course, and it is sure to be a fun day for racers and onlookers alike, while it raises money for the athletics program at Julian Union High School. The booster club supports 13 JUHS athletic programs with varsity letters, sports bars, emblems, trophies and certificates for student athletes. They also help teams with transportation and equipment costs when possible and have installed banners in the gym recognizing Julian’s athletic achievements. In addition, the JEBC provides an annual college scholarship to a male and a female student athlete with a 2.5 GPA or better. The JEBC has joined forces with the Associated Student Body to revive the 5K/10K race as part of its overall fundraising program. The longer courses start at the high school, travel down Main Street, then go out of town to Menghini Winery and finish at the newly refurbished JUHS track. The kids’ 1K takes place entirely on the high school track. In the past, this popular event has welcomed more than 300 participants from throughout California and beyond. Organizers hope to host 400 racers and

raise $15,000 through registration fees and sponsorships. Awards go to top finishers in each age and gender division, and all 1K runners will be presented with a medal. Race participants will receive a colorful T-shirt designed by JUHS students Levon Arabian and Cory Flack, with the official “Fly to the Finish” graphic design of runners along a mountain backdrop and the logos of the initial $500 sponsors. Refreshments will be provided, and

there will be a drawing for local gift certificates. Advance registration is available online at www.kathyloperevents.com. Early birds pay $35 to enter the race, $38 after Oct. 25, and $40 on the day of the race. For the kids’ 1K, early registration is $10, going up to $12 after Oct. 25, and $15 the day of the race. Excitement for the contest is building now that the event is back on the calendar, with sponsors lining up to support the race and runners already registering to participate. There is still time for donors of any amount to support the race. Sponsors will be acknowledged on banners and advertising. An event of this stature requires many hands and a variety of skill sets to be successful. Organizers are calling on the community to step up and join the cause. Prospective volunteers may contact dana.pettersen@juesd.net. “I think this is a good thing to do for the town, to keep the race alive,” said Arabian, one of the banner designers. n

Art Fisher Strikes Up the Band with Popular Favorites

By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

hen former Julian resident Art Fisher retired and moved to Ramona, he knew there was only one direction his life was heading. He wanted to keep playing his guitar and

sing in a band. “I started playing for money in 1962,” he said. “I’ve been playing ever since.” Fisher got a band together earlier this summer, composed of other professional musicians living in Ramona. As yet, the band does not have a name. The gigs the

66,”“Margaritaville,”“Go Johnny Go” and “Rock Around the Clock” were favorites with the dancers and listeners, alike. “It’s like a jukebox coming to life,”

Is Your Kitchen Driving on Bald Tires?

e all know how dangerous it is to drive on bald tires. Tires are where the rubber meets the road, and for safety reasons, they need to be maintained carefully and replaced when necessary. Kitchens, on the other hand, are not perceived as a safety issue, so most people simply keep using them until they literally fall apart. In any household, the kitchen is where the rubber meets the road, so like tires, they do wear out. It may take 25 years, but sooner or later, your kitchen will need to be refurbished or replaced. That’s where we come in. At Kitchen Barn, we offer a free, no-obligation house call to look at the tread left on your kitchen. With nearly three decades of experience in creating new kitchens, we can review your options, and offer cost estimates and design recommendations that will help you make the proper decisions about the future of your kitchen. If you need a new kitchen, you can do it on your own through one of the DIY bigbox retailers. They offer inexpensive parts

and pieces that you assemble and install. You will need to understand plumbing, electrical, drywall and finish carpentry, but this method is the least expensive, especially if you have a lot of free time on your hands. Or, you can work with a partner who has experience in this area. Yes, it will cost more in the short run, but there are good reasons to collaborate with experts. Beyond the cabinets, we will show you how to save time and money on many of the finishes, such as, lighting, countertops and appliances. We will guide you through the multiple decisions required to complete the puzzle, correctly and in much less time. We will help you avoid prolonged construction interruptions that can wreak havoc on your family. Any one of these reasons may be reason enough, but when you add them all up, you will be glad you let us help you. Come by and visit our showroom and see firsthand how we help people like you to make the journey of rebuilding your kitchen more enjoyable, efficient and affordable. So instead of trying to replace your worn-out tires in your driveway, take your car to the tire experts.

band plays are mostly for private parties. Familiar tunes dating back to the good old days of the 1950s through the ‘70s fill the air whenever the band begins to play. And it doesn’t take long for the people listening to the music to start dancing. At a recent gathering, a dozen or so women and one or two men soon made their way to the dance floor to swing and sway to the music they enjoyed from their younger days. Familiar tunes such as “Bye and Bye,” “La Bamba,”“The Last Dance,”“White Sport Coat,”“I Never Fell in Love,”“Route

band popular from 1962 to 1970. He had earlier turned down a touring gig with The Everly Brothers. The Challengers back in its heyday played tunes known as “surf music,”“psychedelic folk” and “pop rock.” Fisher played guitar on the two gold records the band earned for the albums that hit the top of the charts, with each album selling more than 250,000 copies. The albums were “On the Move” and “Surfbeat.” Art and Jackie, his wife of 41 years, lived in Julian from 1990 to 2002. Their three children attended Julian schools, with Cristie graduating from Julian Union High School in 1993, Paul in 1999, and Evan in 2002. Evan played football and scored 62 touchdowns his senior year. He was inducted into the San Diego Hall of Champions the same night Tony Gwynn, Tony Hawk and fellow high-schooler Reggie Bush were inducted, during a pros, college and preps ceremony. Fisher was the pastor of Julian Community Baptist Church, now Hillside Church, from 1990 to 1995.

While living here, he made use of his musical skills by playing at a local eating establishment. Jackie was a substitute school teacher for schools in Julian, Borrego Springs and Warner Springs. He remembers his time in Julian with fondness. “Living in Julian is a shared feeling of being in a special place,” he said. “When you feel like a Julianite, you feel like a member of a club.” n Fisher is pictured left on The Challengers’ album cover “California Kicks” and right on “Sidewalk Surfing.” 5SDG12846__CARE_Bryon__JULIANJOURNAL__Run:05_01_15__7.94x10

not ready to make specific predictions for the coming El Niño, he did say that the Pacific Ocean is very warm right now, the condition that determines an El Niño year. Typically, ocean temperatures that are warmer by just a few degrees result in the snowline going up a thousand feet or more. Further, he explained that with an El Niño, we could expect more than 50 days of rain between October and April. Hidley concluded the session with a detailed history and description of the HPWREN project that was initially funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation but is now supported by a public-private partnership. The project installed 90 live cameras on 15 mountaintop sites, and several portable sensor stations that can be brought to remote locations as needed. The system, which can distinguish between smoke and clouds, is set up and monitored to automatically notify fire departments and others if a fire starts. Armed with information and tools, the public eagerly asked questions after the presentations and welcomed the idea of continued discussion on this pertinent topic of understanding and being prepared for extreme weather conditions. n

Julian Film Festival Raises Awareness and Money

ilmgoers filled the auditorium of the Julian Union High School last month to keep up-to-date on diverse environmental issues, such as fracking, the retreat of the Salton Sea, the erosion of darkness, diminishing lion species and the comeback of the grey wolf. The price of a festival movie ticket brought places like Canyonlands National Park; Gujarat, India; Namibia; Oregon; Fiji; Mongolia; and Russia to life on the big screen. The stories

presented at the fourth annual Julian Film Festival (JFF) of courage, survival, determination and innovation provided inspiration to those interested in protecting and preserving wild places and wildlife. After three years under the auspices of the Wild & Scenic Film Festival, JFF directors Brian and Nancy Kramer and Terry Ross broke from the WSFF. The trio selected films, organized logistics and promoted the festival, resulting in more profits for the Volcan Mountain Foundation, the beneficiary of the festival. This year, they had their biggest attendance, more visitors from down the hill, and their largest screening group for a film, when 135 people attended “OR-7,” a documentary about a gray wolf that traveled from Oregon into California. Parts of the film were shot in Julian and featured Erin Hunt, director of the local California Wolf Center. Overall, the festival raised $7,200 for the VMF, almost half from ticket sales and the rest from food and beverage concessions and sponsorships. In addition to film screenings, the festival presented question-and-answer sessions with several directors and a break-out session, “Demystifying Documentary Filmmaking,” by Emmy Award-winning director SEPTEMBER 10, 2015

Bill Wisneski. His documentary “Breaking Point” tells of the 50-year struggle to save California’s largest lake, the Salton Sea, and the dire consequences to migratory bird populations and to people living within a 100-mile radius of the lake who will suffer respiratory health issues from toxic dust when the lake shrinks to half of its original size by 2017. The film does offer hope. While the legislature is mired in controversy over the issue, public and private partnerships may be able to fund restoration by taking advantage of the area’s natural resources to produce geothermal energy, lithium and algae. Wisneski encouraged people to visit the Salton Sea and contact local legislators for help. “Having great speakers for people to learn and ask questions is an important component of the festival,” said Ross. David Braun, co-founder of Americans Against Fracking, who recently relocated to California to work with Californians Against Fracking,

spoke after the screening of “Dryden — The Small Town That Changed the Fracking Game.” The film chronicled the true David-versus-Goliath tale of how a group of neighbors fought the oil and gas industry to protect themselves and their property. “Its inspirational to see a gathering of so many people enthusiastic about protecting the environment,” said Braun of his participation in the Julian festival. Created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, the film “I Heard” closed the screenings. Told through the eyes of children, the Seuss-esque story journeyed into some of the 110-millionplus acres of designated American wilderness. “It’s important to get quiet and be still to experience nature,” said Abbey Smith, a freelance writer and final speaker of the festival. “People first have to love a place to want to protect it.” See Julian FIlm Festival continued on page 14

Most of the time they do not realize that they are a hero and would deny it, but it does not change the fact. There are heroes in every walk of life, but on Sept. 18, we honor a specific type of hero — the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces who are missing in action or held as prisoners of war. There will be a POW/MIA ceremony at American Legion Post 468 on Friday, Sept. 18, at 6 p.m. The ceremony is to honor and remember those who have given of themselves in service of our country. The ceremony will include local veterans, former prisoners of war, junior members of the Sons of the American Legion, and American Legion Auxiliary members. All across our nation in VFWs and American Legions, there is a table set aside to honor and remember the members of our armed forces who were held prisoner or are still missing. All wars have claimed prisoners of war, and every conflict includes those who are never found. After America entered World War I in its final months, only 4,120 American soldiers were taken prisoner, and out of those, 147 died. In World War II, it was brutal to be a prisoner of war. American service men were mistreated, tortured and even killed. Of the 93,941 American POWs held in Europe during the war, only 1 percent died in captivity, most of them from combat wounds. Of the

25,600 American POWs held in the Pacific during the war, 10,650 — nearly 45 percent died — most from starvation and disease, since they were worked incessantly and given little food, clothing, shelter or medical treatment. In the Korean War, POWs were subjected to psychological warfare where they were forced to endure indoctrination efforts. Of the 7,000 Americans captured, only 3,800 returned alive. In the Vietnam War, most of our captured service people suffered intense mental and physical abuse. One hundred fourteen of our service people died in captivity, 651 were returned, and many are still missing in action. The current number of personnel missing from operations in Iraq and the Persian Gulf is five. Life is unfair — sometimes

to our advantage, sometimes to our disadvantage. We will all experience disappointments and crushing events somewhere along the way, setbacks for which there is no reason, no one to blame. What separates people is not the presence or absence of difficulty, but how they deal with the inevitable difficulties of life. It is these men and women who have dealt with extreme difficulty that we remember and honor on POW/MIA Day. Please join us for the ceremony at 6 p.m. sharp, followed by a hosted dinner.

In 2006, the nonprofit AnzaBorrego Foundation launched its first photo contest to celebrate the unique and natural beauty of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. In the 10 years since then, the contest has grown to draw in new park visitors, repeat photographers and youth contestants from the elementary school in Borrego Springs. To celebrate this milestone, the foundation has teamed up with Borrego Art Institute to offer what they say are some exciting new changes for the 2016 Anza-Borrego Desert Photo Contest. The biggest changes are

animals would spread if there were no wolves to kill them.” Wolves are believed to be heading from the west and north. Murtaugh said the first return to California came in 2011, when a wolf named Journey and his female companion ventured down from Oregon. He said it wouldn’t be difficult to put them back into the wild here. Their fear of humans would keep them far away. Actually, you might not see them until dusk or dawn. On the other hand, coyotes have survived around humans very well. As for visitors, Murtaugh said, “We might see about 250 people a week. Tours on the weekend are at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Smaller groups are scheduled for Monday at 10 a.m. and Friday at 2 p.m., usually for 15 people.” n

sion is to debunk the age-old fairytale myths of the big bad wolf. They are shy animals. He said the endangered Mexican wolf can be found in the national forest between New Mexico and Arizona and the Pacific Northwest. It looks more like a coyote in size and weight. The Mexican wolf has federal protection, but elsewhere, states handle their own hunting regulations. “As long as it doesn’t fall below 15 breeding pairs, the federal agency will stay out of it,” Murtaugh added. He said wolves have a healthy relationship with their prey, particularly in minimizing elk and deer populations. “If the elk population gets pretty small, wolves stop having many puppies,” he said. “When the elk population gets bigger, they’ll start to have more puppies. “Disease among those

that the contest is joining the digital age, and the first entry level is free for all contestants. The theme of the contest will not change — all contest photos must be taken within the boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. To enter, upload photographs to www.theabf.org/ photocontest or to the foundation’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/anza borregofoundation by the Dec. 15, 2015, deadline. From Dec. 16 to 31, the public will be able to vote for their favorite photographs, and 20 entries from each category in both youth and adult divisions will move on to the finalist round. Finalists will be asked to submit a photographic print, and a panel of judges will determine the winners.

Prizes and a one-year gift membership to the AnzaBorrego Foundation will be awarded to those who place first, second, third and best of show in each category. Borrego Springs Elementary School students will have the opportunity to take a photography class offered by the Borrego Art Institute, and all who complete the class may have their photographs hung at the gallery show in February. The gallery show will showcase photographs from the finalists and winners, and will be held Feb. 6 through 26, with the opening reception set for Feb. 6.

Comedy Reigns at Julian Melodrama By Annette Williams ~ the journal

ood old-fashioned family entertainment fills the bill when the 2015 Julian Melodrama is presented the first four weekends in October by the Julian Triangle Club. In this year’s comedy play, “Keeping the Doctor Away,” a villain and his sidekick come to town. Will they get away with tricking the miners out of their gold, or will the sheriff discover their true identity and defeat their dastardly plan? Each performance begins with a rousing sing-along of old favorites. Between acts are “olio” variety performances, featuring junior cancan dancers, local talent acts, and the famous

Triangle Club Chorus (aka, the Julian Floozies), who almost steal the show with their outrageous costumes and hilarious songs. Audience participation is encouraged, as guests boo the villain, cheer the hero and sigh for the sweet heroine. Opening night is Oct. 2, with evening shows Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and matinees Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. (except Oct. 4) at Julian Town Hall, 2129 Main St. Opening night proceeds will benefit the Bobbi Green Scholarship Fund. Tickets are $5 and $10, and seating is first come, first served. Visit www.julian melodrama.com. n

The Julian Melodrama brings family-friendly fun to the Town Hall stage.
