A Labor of Love
JUHSD Secretary Retires After Decades of Service
By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal
F
ew people have the historic and up-to-the-moment perspective of Julian Union High School as Martha Masch, who has served as the school and district secretary for the past 27 years, and teacher for 16 years before that. Her dedication and love for this school didn’t start there, however. It began with a connection to this community generations in the making. Masch will retire from her position at the end of the school year. Born and raised in Ramona, where her grandparents owned the old Buffalo Ranch, now Star B Ranch, Masch is proud of her third-generation backcountry status. Following in the footsteps of five older siblings, she started school at the old Witch Creek School, now home of the Julian Historical Society, which sat at the top of the driveway at their Ramona homestead. During her second-grade year, the school closed, and she transferred to the Julian school district until she graduated from high school in 1965. Her mother, Mary Starr, served on the JUHS school board for many years. Her name may be found on plaques around the school.
Masch credits her home economics teacher Celia Coutts for inspiring her toward a life in education.

“She was the one who made me want to teach kids how to do things they might not otherwise have the chance to learn,” she said. With a degree in home economics
started as a JUHS substitute teacher in 1972. Eventually, she became a fulltime teacher of home economics, the subject she loved. Budget cuts as a result of Proposition 13 eliminated that course,
and Masch switched to teaching English and P.E. Of her many accomplishments, one dear to her heart was to start a girls athletic program. She thought it important for girls to participate in sports and took the program on herself, coaching the girls and driving them to games. Changes in public education led her back into substitute teaching. When the office position opened up in 1988, it gave her the opportunity to serve the entire school population in a broader capacity. “There’s more to this job than what you see at the front desk,” she said. Responsible for attendance, registration and secretarial work for the school and the district, Masch has been accountable for reporting information to various government agencies that are the basis for school funding. It is exacting and time-consuming work. Problems and other issues are worked in around submitting regulatory paperwork complete and on time. She does it all with deep concern and respect for the students in mind. She tasks herself with knowing each student See Secretary REtires continued on page 3

while working with a purpose in mind. Inspired after reading Greg Mortenson’s story in the book “Three Cups of Tea,” these local women wanted to help the plight of the Afghan people by participating in the humanitarian project “Afghans for Afghans.” The problem was, they didn’t know how to make an afghan. “It struck our hearts to help, but none of us knew how to crochet,” said Audrey Turner, a founding member of what would become the Julian Hookers. “I asked Borghild (Kellenberger) to teach me to crochet, she agreed and three of us learned.” Once they made their afghan, each contributing squares to the project, they made another. Then they made some more. They sent the finished blankets to Afghanistan through a Quaker group that handled the shipping details. After a couple of years, the requirements to participate in that program became challenging, so the group turned their attention to a local cause, crocheting for veterans and their dependents at the Naval Medical Center San Diego. Then they heard that Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Church was sending blankets to babies in Mexico and Central America, so they made some infant things. The Julian Community Preschool, Pathways, Monarch School in Barrio Logan and Polinsky Children’s Center have all been recipients of their labors. Dozens of lap blankets have been given to veterans

with spinal cord injuries. When group members learn of needs in the local or global community, they discuss it and together they decide how to help. Currently, they are making wearable accessories for bikers in Harley-Davidson signature colors to support collaboration between the motorcycle company and The Nature Conservancy to plant five million trees. The pieces, which range in price from $10 to $25, are for sale at Kat’s Yarn and Craft Cottage, with 10 percent of the proceeds going to the charitable project. Vagabonds since the coffee shop where they used to meet closed, they are thrilled to support a local
businesswoman and have a “home” in Kat’s colorful shop, where they meet each week. The women thrive in each other’s company, sharing more than crocheting for a purpose. By turn, each member reads aloud books by fiber artists, while the others knit or crochet, and consider how the twisting and looping of yarn into a finished object can be metaphor for life’s experiences. “This is my tribe of women, my Monday place to be where the vibes are good,” said Kellenberger. Clearly, the purpose of this group is sharing the gift of friendship with each other — and with others — through their handiwork. n

Secretary Retires Continued from page 1 on a first-name basis within two weeks of the start of each school year, so when they come in with a need, she’ll be ready to help. “Even if it doesn’t always show, I really care for these kids. I want them all to be successful and have a good life. That would be my wish for them,” she said. There is no question that Masch has been a valuable asset to JUHS. Teacher and coach Craig Peirson recalls initially being intimidated by her no-nonsense approach but came to depend on her as their relationship developed. “I learned how important she is for May 21, 2015
the school,” said Peirson.“Not just for the teachers, but also the students. She has a radar. She knows where every student is every moment of the day. If a student isn’t where they are supposed to be, she knows where to find them.” Masch acknowledges that it will take time for her replacement, Becky Hatch, to learn the ropes, but says her training is going well, and she has promised to stop in to see how she is doing. With a lifetime credential in place, Masch intends to serve as a substitute teacher occasionally, just as she started so many years ago. n

sure people have defensible space.” He said regulations vary on establishing camping and burn permits, because it involves the state and federal levels or the Bureau of Land Management. For campfires, Cal Fire advises the use of its method to drown the fire with water, stir the fire area with a shovel to wet any remaining embers and ash, cover the fire site with dirt and mix thoroughly to fully smother it. Finally, feel the area with the back of the hand to ensure nothing is still smoldering. Cal Fire’s battle forces are at maximum strength in manpower and equipment, according to Schuler. “We’ve had five of our engines in Riverside County,” he said. “But when we do that, we call up five from our reserves. “But a typical day, we’ll have ready 18 fire engines, expandable to 26. Julian, by the way, will have one, and another will be added in the summer months.” In Ramona, he said, there are two air tankers, and a sheriff’s helicopter is located at Gillespie Field. He assured that there are planes strategically located about 15 minutes away. Air power also can be obtained from the U.S. Navy and Marines. In cases of severe wildfires, volunteers from the San Diego Firefighters Reserve program will be called out. Lookout stations are manned by the California Forest Service. n

Typically, March is the month with unpredictable weather. But longtime Julian residents know not to count on great weather for outdoor activities before Mother’s Day. Even so, a brief snow flurry during recent morning rains had folks talking about the weather and scrambling to bundle up after a couple of weeks of dressing for warm and sunny days. No one complained, though, about canceled sporting events or the brief cold snap. Considering the severe drought facing the entire state of California, any precipitation — even the frozen kind — is a welcome event on the mountain. n

Rabobank Closes its Doors
M
id-afternoon on May 1, with just a couple of hours until local Rabobank employees closed the doors of its Main Street Julian branch for the last time, customers came in to conduct their banking business as usual, just a few at a time. Bank employees handled their transactions with their usual cheerful concern for customers, who have long been friends and neighbors, as well, asking how progress on the house is going or listening to them talk of an ill family member. The only visible indication that something was different about this day’s business was the presence of unfamiliar faces in the office area of the

Updating an Outdated Kitchen is Easier than You Think!
W
ouldn’t it be nice to not have to rearrange everything in your cabinets just to get to one mixing bowl in the back? Ever found yourself on your hands and knees, reaching into the dark and distant back lower shelf of your kitchen cabinets looking for a flour sifter you know you own, but haven’t used in so long you can’t remember where you put it? Then you discover where you put that old coffee bean grinder you were looking for last week! There are many ways to improve your kitchen’s functionality, and it doesn’t always take a lot of money or a major remodel. You only have so much cabinet space in your kitchen and in most cases up to 50% is not accessible and ends up being poorly utilized. Most kitchens are designed by builders and designed in ways to lower building costs. Save yourself the aches and pains of getting on your hands and knees. Accessorize your kitchen and make it more organized, accessible, and a
much better work environment for the whole family. At Kitchen Barn, here in Ramona, we really enjoy showing people how many options they have when they want to update their kitchen. We start with a no charge, no obligation visit to your home. We’ll have a discussion about what you love and hate about your current kitchen. We take measurements, make notes about all of your electrical outlets, appliances and fixtures, and then we usually make an appointment for you to come into our showroom where we can advise you on what solutions fit your needs and your budget. We even have a 3D computer system so you can see what we are talking about. It is a smart way to find out what you can do to put your kitchen back to work for you and your family. Come by or give us a call, we look forward to helping you! Featuring: &

here will be music — big-time — at this year’s annual Julian Fourth of July Parade, according to Ed Glass, who organizes music for the parade committee. “We will have four wonderful bands that have participated in the parade previously,” he says. “They are a bit different from each other, adding variety to our patriotic event.” Based in in Oceanside, the 40-piece Gold Drum and Bugle Corps is a member of Drum Corps International, and has
performed at venues across North America. This awardwinning corps is performing for the second time. The New Orleans-style Euphoria Brass Band from San Diego is marching in Julian for the second time. Euphoria performs annually at many venues throughout San Diego and Southern California, including the Gator by the Bay festival. Returning for its annual appearance in the July 4th parade, kilt-clad Emerald Society Pipe and Drum Band performs
in the traditional Scottish Highland tradition. Comprised of retired and active firefighters, Emerald honors firefighters and their families, and has been part of the Fourth of July festivities for several years. Returning to Julian for their third time, Mariachi Continental de San Diego performs throughout the San Diego County area. The musicians are second- and third-generation Mariachis.

Cuyamaca Flume Topic of Historical Society Presentation Julian Historical Society will feature a presentation from author Charles LeMenager about the history of the Cuyamaca Flume at the group’s regular monthly meeting, set for May 27 at 7 p.m. “Julian City and Cuyamaca
Country” is one of the books in LeMenager’s San Diego backcountry historical trilogy. In addition, he will discuss legendary editor and county supervisor James Jasper, the Civil War record of Drew Bailey and Mike Julian, and the attempt to steal
early miners’ land in 1870. Meetings are at 2133 Fourth St. and are open to the public. Call 760-765-4736. n
Beer Company Teams with Anza-Borrego Foundation The Anza-Borrego Foundation announced a collaboration with Nickel Beer Co. to create a beer “inspired by the spirit of conservation and a love for the desert landscapes of AnzaBorrego Desert State Park.” It’s an offshoot of a program that invites participants to visit AnzaBorrego Desert State Park and then enjoy a craft beer donated by a local brewery. Nickel Beer Co. owner Tom Nickel and Anza-Borrego Foundation Executive Director Paige Rogowski came up with the idea, which will help raise funds to protect the landscapes of Anza-Borrego. Participation levels include being a guest at a VIP beer tapping party, experiencing an allday brewing adventure, or being the top decision-maker for the variety of beer and having naming rights.

Ridgeback Roundup at Rainbow Hill Kennel in Julian By David Shapiro
O
n April 25, Mel Collins, his 14-month-old Rhodesian ridgeback, Max, and I drove to Julian for the annual Rainbow Hill Ridgeback Roundup at Jill Davis’ place. For three straight hours, about two-dozen Rhodesian ridgeback dogs frolicked and ran in ecstatic doggie-loops, while their human counterparts — their owners and buddies — chatted, followed along and beamed at their large, handsome and

simply marvelous pets. Eventually, the humans were treated to a fabulous smorgasbord of food, while some of the doggies looked through the glass doors of Jill’s place, wondering why they suddenly were no longer the focus of the party. Since Mel, Max and I were a bit early for this gathering, we drove into the center of Julian on that chilly, cloudy day. We could somehow tell the day would be special when we walked through the almost deserted streets

and were befriended by an obviously kind and gentle soul who gave us both copies of his Congressional Medal of Honor. Once back in San Diego, we looked up the name of John P. Baca and read about his heroic service in Vietnam back in 1970. Then we were off to Rainbow Hill to meet up with other Roundup participants for what turned out to be a super day on all fronts. n Mel Collins and his dog, Max, attended the event.

Ingredients Meat Mixture:
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs 1 tablespoon ketchup 2 teaspoons dry mustard 4 dashes Worcestershire sauce 1 c ube beef bouillon, crumbled (or powdered beef base) Salt and pepper 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon olive oil Gravy: 1w hole onion, halved and thinly sliced (or diced if you prefer) 2 cups beef broth, more if needed for thinning 1 tablespoon ketchup 1 t easpoon seasoning sauce, such as Kitchen Bouquet, optional 4 dashes Worcestershire 1 teaspoon cornstarch, optional Salt and pepper
Directions
For the meat mixture: Combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, ketchup, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, bouillon and some salt and pepper. Knead until all combined. Form into 4 to 6 oval patties, and then make lines across the patties to give them a “steak” appearance. Fry the patties in a skillet with the butter and oil over medium-high heat on both sides until no longer pink in the middle. Remove from the skillet and pour off any excess grease. For the gravy: Reduce the heat to medium and add in the sliced onions. Stir and cook until golden brown and somewhat soft, for several minutes. Add the beef stock, ketchup, seasoning sauce, if using, and the Worcestershire. Then combine the cornstarch with a little beef broth and add to the sauce if using. Stir and cook to reduce.

Directions Peel the ginger and finely grate it in to a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil. Season with some salt and pepper. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the dressing and set aside. Thinly slice the mushrooms and scallions, keeping the white and green parts of the scallions separate. Add the sliced mushrooms, scallion whites and the edamame to the dressing in the large mixing bowl. Stir to combine and then marinate at room temperature (the mushrooms will become more tender while they sit in the dressing) while you prepare the rest of the ingredients, stirring occasionally. Reserve the sliced scallion greens to use as garnish. Place the rice in a glass mixing bowl and break it up using a fork. Place a damp paper towel directly on top of the rice and place in the microwave; cook until just warmed through and softened, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, remove the skin from the chicken and shred the meat into large bite-size pieces, about 2 cups. Toss the chicken, warm rice and carrots with the mush-

San Diego Spinners Shatter U.S. Record By Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal
A
sign at the entrance to the courtyard at the Bonita Museum and Cultural Center on April 25 warned visitors not to speak to the members of the San Diego County Spinners (SDCS) team.The women were deeply engrossed in the goal of spinning and knitting wool shorn from the back of a sheep into a sweater and onto the back of their team captain as fast as possible. It was all part of the International Back to Back Wool Challenge. The competition, a modern-day revival of a 19th century wager between a cloth manufacturer and a sheep owner in Berkshire, England, raises money for cancer research and promotes awareness and innovation for the centuries-old fiber arts industry. The only team representing the United States in the worldwide event, the SDCS team worked at a feverish pace to the steady drumbeat of traditional tribal belly dance music designed to follow the beat of a heart. Their goal was to beat the eight-hour, 33-minute record of the last U.S. team to partici-

clock at 9 a.m., when lifelong sheep grower Janet Tulloch began shearing “George’s Romney,” (G.R.), whose owners had been working with the sheep to socialize her for the occasion. G.R. did very well on the grooming stand, considering the attention of curious onlookers, and Tulloch took her time removing the wool, educating the crowd throughout the process. Within seven minutes, the first of the shorn wool was spun into yarn, and the knitting had begun. By 11 a.m., G.R. had been stripped of her winter coat. Official timekeeper Cheryl Chelius observed and recorded the team’s progress every half-hour, tracking breaks and
when it was time for team members to switch jobs. In honor of the event, she sported the sweater that was made at the March meeting. “The two fastest knitters work on the front and the back, switching off periodically to keep the gauge uniform and to finish pieces at relatively the same time,” Chelius explained.
