Melodrama Celebrates 60 Years of Old-Fashioned Fun By Annette Williams ~ the journal
C
omedy, music and old-fashioned family entertainment will entertain audiences of the Julian Melodrama, presented this month by the Julian Triangle Club.The production is celebrating its 60th anniversary, with shows taking place over four weekends, starting Oct. 7. This year’s play is “The Stalwart Surveyor, or The Man Who Sank the Cuyamaca Float.” While the script includes new twists and turns each year, the plot line remains classic: Will the evil, conniving villain succeed with his dastardly plot to cheat the local townspeople? Will he hurt the sweet heroine, or will the strong, handsome hero arrive in time to save her and the town? “It’s always a fun time!” says Triangle Club President Dee Dee Nelson, who does her best to “sing loud” as a member of the chorus. “We all work very hard.”
Stacy Hodo is directing the cast, which includes Anthony Soriano, Barbara Keresztury, Heidi Schlotfeldt, Joe Romano Jr., Kevin O’Connor, Sharon Crosswhite, Lindsey Wagaman, Mary Morris, Nancy Harding, Sam Johnstone, Sandy Bennett and Steve Gannon. Audience participation is encouraged, and there is always plenty of fun entertainment between the acts. The show has been a true community effort for all of its six decades, and the funds it raises provide an enduring source of local support. “Proceeds go to scholarships, which we give to graduating seniors and junior high students going into high school,” Nelson said. “And we help different organizations when they have needs.” Last year, the club offered its first adult scholarship for a resident who needed retraining for a new career. “Brenton Rowell, one of our volunteer firemen,

is putting himself through paramedic school,” Nelson said. Rowell had served full
time as a firefighter EMT for the Julian Cuyamaca Fire Department, but left to seek further training. His plan is to
return to the community as a firefighter and paramedic. “I had been trying for years to get an adult scholarship,” Nelson said. “My heart goes out to young families that have to try to do this. It’s a little bit we can do to help — I wish we could do more!” The cast and crew invite everyone to come and help celebrate the show’s 60th year. The Melodrama opens Oct. 7 and closes Oct. 30, with performances Friday and Saturday evenings at 7 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. in Julian Town Hall, 2129 Main St. Ticket information is available at www.julian melodrama.com. n

to find people to recognize.” The Webbs are owners of Apple Lane Orchard and co-owners of Julian Hard Cider. Many of those in attendance were attracted to the pie-selling booth, Garrett reported. “The pie booth had dozens of pies, and we were sold out by 12:45,” she said. “We were supposed to be there till 5!” Garrett is in charge of the annual pie baking contest, hosted by Julian Woman’s Club. The club received
only 10 entries this year, which she attributed to a planned power outage the day before they were to be judged. “We usually have 15 to 20 entries,” she said. The pies were judged the Friday before the festival began, and slices that remained were sold at the festival — in addition to 75 pies from the Julian Pie Company. Pie contest winners were Paige Smith, from Julian, who earned first place for her Cherry Bomb Hard Cider pie. Orange County resident Janet Jones, whose son Eric Jones lives in Julian, received second place for a pie she called “Mrs. Chalmers’ Apple Pie.” Third place went to Pam Serreira of San Marcos for her Sour Cream Apple Pie with Ginger Snap Crust. Honorable mention winners were Tony and Sammie Massa, Danielle
Dayle and Angela Livesay. As apples are imbedded in the history of Julian, this festival is a fun way to celebrate what the area is known for. Guests came from all over to partake in contests, shop a variety of vendors, and enjoy the great food, drinks and company that the event had to offer. With the beautiful weather and atmosphere, it truly was a celebration! n

entry into the grand prize drawing for $500 worth of merchandise. Each location offered something unique or exclusive to their shop, making it worth the trip to get to know the different shops, their owners and the products they offer. In Julian, Kat’s Yarn and Craft Cottage was packed with crawlers having a grand time. Owner Kat Dupre offered special deals for those who
made the trek to Julian. Dupre is sponsoring a “knit-a-long” of two sweater designs this month. Those who purchased supplies from her during the crawl got a 10 percent discount on the pattern and yarn, and the support of fellow knitters to finish the October project. “In this way, the crawlers can put their yarn to use right away and finish a project, instead of coming back next

Dupre’s shop features many yarns from international suppliers, including a luxurious, handspun cashmere from Afghan whose proceeds help indigenous women support their families. Also in the shop through October is an exclusive trunk show of samples from Art Yarns gradient colors. At Ramona Country Yarn Store on
Main Street in Ramona, owner Connie Phillips celebrated her shop’s second anniversary during the yarn crawl with two special guests. Ramona resident Monet Strachan was on hand to demonstrate her spinning skills. Strachan’s yarn, both hand-spun and mill-spun from the fleece of her alpacas, is exclusively available at the Ramona store. Working with wool and wool-and-nylon-blend yarns from

For football fans, the shop also participates in the
“scoreboard knit-a-long,” where knitters make scoreboard scarves that track their favorite team’s game stats over the course of a season. Ramona resident John Smith displayed the scarf he knitted while following the New York Giants. Mindful of the sacrifice of military families, the shop keeps a basket filled with knitted hats for service men and women. A bit off the beaten path, La Dolce Vita Alpacas ranch in Ramona is a big draw on the annual Yarn Crawl, with many folks visiting just to see the amusing animals. Owners Susan and Joe Attili raise the long-necked critters for fun and profit, and love introducing the public to their herd and educating them about the benefits of keeping alpacas. Under a shade tent near the alpaca pens, Susan displayed the beautiful hand-dyed and natural-color yarns made from her herd, along with patterns and samples of products made from the yarns. She modeled a beautiful shawl whose pattern is an exclusive design from La Dolce Vita Alpacas. Avid knitter Kara Harris from San Diego couldn’t wait to stop by and see the alpacas. She even included a picture of Wendy, one of Susan’s alpacas, in her Words with Friends game on her phone. With cooler fall and winter temperatures just around the corner, the annual yarn crawl is a fun and festive opportunity to collect the needed tools and supplies to create cozy winter clothes and accessories. n

Apple Growers Association Hosts Apple Tasting
By Darra Lanigan
T
he Julian Apple Growers Association (JAGA) held an apple tasting event in Julian Town Hall on Sept. 14, offering a variety of apples for tasting. JAGA member Teak Nichols also leads the organization’s effort to host educational events for the community and participate in national food day at Julian Elementary School. “We press apple cider with the
students, and they get to taste some fresh-pressed apple cider that they helped make,” Nichols said. “We also do education about apples, fresh fruit and orcharding practices.” Nichols explained how important apples are to the Julian community. “When the gold miners finished looking for gold, they fell back on apples, and it’s been that way ever since.”
Fresh and juicy pears and apples are sliced and ready for community members to taste.

California State Senator Joel Anderson, whose district includes Julian, provided a Senate certificate of recognition to the group for its dedication to the community. “Teak and the members of the Julian Apple Growers Association volunteer their time and energy to ensure the success of Julian apples and locally crafted products,” Anderson said. “Their contributions to strengthening Julian’s legacy as the world’s premier source for apples are vitally important to our economy.” The tasting event was put on to promote the variety of Julian apples and bring awareness to the techniques needed to care for them. It also is a way of showing how great Julian apples are. “The most satisfying way to eat the

apples is to pick them off the tree and eat them in the orchard as you’re working, because you’ve helped grow the apple, you’ve watered it, you tended the tree,” Nichols said. The heritage of this tasting event is important in many aspects. Julian Historical Tours’ operator David Lewis, who is also part of the JAGA, stated that after Julian moved from gold mining to apples, it then became prominent for its apples and went on to gain national status in 1907, when local apples were sent to the Tricentennial Exposition in Jamestown, earning the Bronze Wilder Medal. Since then, the town has been famous for these magnificent apples. n Darra Lanigan is an intern in the office of State Senator Joel Anderson.

hether you pick out your pumpkins from the grocery aisle of your favorite store, the fields of a local farm or the garden right in your own backyard, there are plenty of reasons to stock up on the hearty and abundant fruit during the fall harvest season, and plenty of ways to use and enjoy them once you do. Drill it The simple jack-o’-lantern with its triangle shaped eyes and nose and its toothless grin, lit from within by a candle — is an easy choice to set on the porch step to welcome trick-or-treaters. A grouping of them in different sizes and shapes can make a bold impression. Put your paring knife away, though. In less time than it takes to carve and with a little imagination, your candlelit squash can be a starry constellation or lacy luminaria. Simply mark your pattern and, using a power drill with different-sized bits, drill holes where you want the light to shine through. Decorate it Carefully decorating the pumpkin’s exterior will provide for a second use in cooking or baking. Markers and nontoxic paints may be used to draw faces or intricate designs, depending on the theme you choose. Use patterned duct tape to accentuate or contrast the natural shape of the pumpkin, or

completely reinvent it. Glue felt pieces, decorative paper or ribbon to create an infinite variety of designs. Decorate with it With pumpkins available in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colors, a collection of unadorned pumpkins can make an entryway more welcoming or grace an elegant table as a centerpiece that can easily take your seasonal décor to Thanksgiving and beyond. Pile them randomly for that just-harvested feeling of abundance. Place them in groups of three or more each on their own pretty serving dish, some high and some low, to create visual interest. A row of same-sized pumpkins is simply elegant. Place pine cones, artfully arranged flowers or tall candles between them to change the style. Express it Tell your family story with pumpkins. Draw or glue a portrait of each person in the family and something unique to them on a pumpkin that matches their size relative to other family members — don’t forget your pets! Sports fans can use team colors and symbols to decorate their pumpkins. Art lovers can make an exhibit of pumpkins that look like their favorite paintings. Got something to say? Use poetry or prose to decorate it. Eat it Sweet or savory, first course to last, chopped, mashed,
pureed, boiled, steamed, baked, roasted or grilled, pumpkins may be the most versatile fruit that comes from the earth. From the seeds to the skin, every part can be made into something yummy to eat. An Internet search will offer enough recipes to see you through pumpkin season, and beyond. Return it The gift that keeps giving, a jack-o’-lantern past its prime can be used to make a bird feeder. Line it with newspaper to keep the birdseed from falling out, then poke dowels or thin branches through it, string it up and fill it with seed. Or, make a planter by filling it with potting soil and a plant for your garden. As it decomposes, it will nourish the new plant. Smash it Murder mystery, actionpacked adventure, comedy or historical drama, it’s fun to make a video of the destruction or disappearance of your pumpkin, styling it after a favorite movie or TV show or an original idea of your own. “America’s Funniest Home Videos” loves to show creative ways people smash their pumpkins. Plant it If you didn’t already eat all of the pumpkin seeds, dry them out and save them to plant next spring, so you can try all the pumpkin ideas you didn’t get to this year. n

or some residents of the backcountry, trick-ortreating in the neighborhood can be quite a challenge, especially if the nearest neighbor is a quarter-mile or more down the road. What’s a superhero to do? If it’s Halloween and your candy bowl is full, but your house is far enough off the beaten path that costumed kiddies won’t be knocking on your door, don’t say, “Boohoo!” Take a walk along Main Street in Julian, and there are sure to be some ghosts and goblins, princesses and pirates scaring up goodies from local businesses. This long-held tradition is a safe and convenient one for families who don’t live where
there are sidewalks and streetlights for the traveling tykes, and it gets the community at large involved. Some stores and offices will have candy bowls out as early as 10 a.m. to accommodate the toddler set. But the main attraction will begin at 2:30 p.m., when school gets out and the children and teens parade down Main Street in their Halloween get-ups. “We really enjoy seeing the little guys,” said Diane Verdugo at Kathy’s Dress Shop. “The smaller they are, the cuter they are.” For more Halloween fun and games, the annual Halloween Carnival will be in full force from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Julian Elementary School, 1704 Cape Horn Ave.
Call 619-246-8585 • www.julianyarn.com
The Julian Parent Teacher Organization sponsors this spectacular spook-a-thon, with lots of help from families, staff and students. Older students pitch in to decorate the campus, bring in donations for prizes, and take turns running games and activities at the carnival for the younger ones. Popular each year is the cakewalk, where bakers outdo each other to decorate devilishly delicious deserts that are offered as prizes to the lucky lad or lass who lands at the winning spot on the circle. Throughout the carnival are games of skill and chance with plenty of prizes for participants. n

Fueled by their passionate belief in the good they are doing, this Julian sisterhood, founded by Pat Straube of Orchard Hill Country Inn, is also having a heck of a good time.

Straube to the punch. Straube got the last laugh, however. Her group has raised more funds for the nonprofit organization than any other in San Diego County, so far. “I mailed an invitation to a few women,” said Straube. “Seven showed up to the first gathering, and now we’ve got 30 fantastic women in our group.” The Julian women meet roughly every three months to brainstorm ways to raise money for the cause and have come up with a few highly successful events to generate income.

Julian Music Festival: A Good

or Terry Cox, producing the annual end-of-summer Julian Music Festival at Menghini Winery is a departure from his workday life in product development, and a chance to put together a musical event that pleases him and inspires his followers. Cox puts on the show as a charity benefit. It’s a labor of love, except for the week

before the festival, when he sweats the last-minute arrangements and holds his breath that the weather will also hold out. “I like music — it’s fun,” he says. He takes no salary or stipend for his trouble and pays up-front costs from his own pocket in anticipation that ticket sales will cover expenses and net a tidy sum for a good cause. For the past two years Cox has donated profits from gate and raffle ticket sales to the California Wolf Center. Each year, he learns a little more about how to improve the experience and the profitability of the show. One year, for example, he sprang for a tent so guests could eat lunch at tables in the shade. In the end, it meant less money for charity. So he decided to forgo the tent and let nature provide the shade and the ambiance. The festival this year drew more than 400 attendees, mostly attracting visitors from San Diego County who are looking to spend a leisurely afternoon in the countryside. Families, young couples, retirees and working folks made up the audience of music lovers, many of whom brought their lawn chairs and picnic

baskets for the afternoon of live performances. In need of some rest and relaxation, Michelle and Mike Main of San Diego came out for the first time this year. “This is a really, really nice venue,” said Michelle. Michael Yagley of Carlsbad and his daughter, Emma, added to the entertainment by taking a few spins on the dance floor, while Gregory Page crooned his unique folk-inspired music. “She came out dancing,” said Emma’s mom, Kelly Swain, of her daughter’s flourishes as she partnered with her dad. The festival opened at noon with Way Back Then, a trio familiar to locals. They performed an eclectic mix of folk, acoustic and Americana music. Multi-instrumentalists Michael Mosley, Tony Tulenko and Janice Bina-Smith traded lead and harmony vocals while playing guitar, mandolin, harmonica, ukulele, banjo, cajon and ukulele bass. Singer-songwriter Sara Petite performed next with her award-winning tunes that are deeply influenced by music that celebrates the best of American culture, from country and bluegrass, to rock and folk music. Petite played her own special brand of music to an

appreciative audience. The second half of the show began with Gregory Page, a crooner who performed original compositions. A poet at heart, Page imbued his sweet songs with elements of folk, Celtic, American jazz, ragtime and French Romanticism, providing the loveliest of listening experiences. For a change of pace, the show closed with Abrakadabra, a band that performed high-energy Latin jazz and pop rhythms to an audience well primed to finish the evening on a high note.
With pre-show ticket sales slightly up this year, Cox anticipates that the wolf center will receive a generous donation. Volunteers at the center were thrilled to spend the day listening to awesome music while introducing guests to the work going on at the center. Funds raised will help expand the center’s educational outreach; support the Range Rider program, which patrols ranches to protect both livestock and wolves in the wild; and create more habitat for wolves being prepared for release into the wild. n
