on and Kitty Mayer aren’t train fanatics, but their love of the outdoors led them to a hobby that has become a great way for them to enjoy some of the most scenic corridors in the western United States. They ride railroad tracks in an unusual vehicle called a “speeder” car. Speeders, or “railway motorcars,” were used to help workers service railroad tracks from the 1890s until the 1980s, when railroads replaced them with hi-rail vehicles that have normal tires for use on highways and steel wheels for use on tracks. Traveling at just 20 to 30 miles per hour and powered by gasoline or diesel, they are dubbed “speeders” because they outpaced the manually powered pump cars previously in use. Today, hobbyists maintain these vehicles for excursions along railroad tracks under the auspices of clubs such as the North American Railcar Operators Association (NARCOA). Enthusiasts travel in caravans of 25 to 30 cars,

spread over several miles. They agree to go at close to the same speed as the slowest vehicle and work to keep a safe distance between cars. Typical tours cover 50 to 100 miles a day, vary in length from one to several days and are planned by an excursion coordinator who organizes the details.

The stars and stripes will move down Main Street during this year’s Julian Fourth of July Parade, prompting selection of “It’s a Grand Old Flag” as the theme for the annual patriotic celebration. For more than 20 years, Julian residents, their friends and parade lovers from all over have lined up on the town’s main thoroughfare to wave their flags, cheer the marching bands (now four), and salute the U.S. Marine Corps Color Guard. There is always a gang of local bad guys who try to rob the bank, but the sheriff rounds them up before the gunmen can get anything. Miss Julian and her court cruise along in snazzy cars. So do others who simply want to show off their prize or antique vehicles. Expect to see a long line of antique tractors and a troupe of dancing gypsies. Also riding along the parade route will be Grand Marshal David Lewis, whose Julian roots go back to 1887, when George Ritchie homesteaded 160 acres on Eagle Peak and then sat down to a life of teaching here. Best known as Julian’s historian, Lewis wrote a book called “Last Known Address” that was a finalist in the San Diego Book Awards. While researching gravesites in the Julian cemetery, he discovered the

unmarked gravesites of the town’s black pioneers America Newton, Albert Robinson, Martha Boyd and Susan Tull. Many visitors spend a whole day enjoying the parade and the patriotic events that surround it, all within walking distance. Plan to arrive early to catch the pre-parade activities starting at 10 a.m. on Main Street. Find a spot along the parade route where you can get a good view of the vintage airplane flyover. If you want to help unfurl an enormous American flag, set yourself up near the corner of Main and Washington streets. The American Legion presents a big celebration featuring a monumental barbecue lunch, entertainment and day-long fun. Local bands will play at Pioneer Park in the afternoon, so grab a picnic lunch to savor while tapping your toes. Quilt lovers have their own patriotic events surrounding the Fourth of July Parade. The annual Heritage Quilt Show features a display of vintage and new quilts, presented by Julian Woman’s Club. The club always holds a raffle for a one-of-a-kind quilt, designed by the queen of quilt making Eleanor Burns, and assembled by club members.

Earthquakes and Geology in Julian Area Explained by Retired Park Ranger

By Ruth Lepper ~ the journal

eologist Fred Jee, retired supervising ranger from Anza-Borrego

earthquake fault lines in the area and told what would happen when “the big one hits.” The program was cosponsored by Friends of the Julian Library and the Volcan Mountain Foundation. “It’s kind of nice to know what’s happening in your home turf,” Jee said. “The fascinating thing about geology is that it is fascinating.” Seismology, he explained, is the study of earthquakes, and a fault is any fissure in the ground that moves. In the Julian area, the Elsinore Fault Zone continues down Banner Grade after heading through Santa Ysabel. It starts in Los Angeles County, goes through Temecula and continues along state routes 76 and 79 near Lake Henshaw. There are several turnouts along Banner Grade where the fault line is visible. From Banner, the fault line moves upward and over Granite Mountain. This area was commonly known as Earthquake Valley. San Andreas Fault runs in front of Volcan Mountain and moves every 50 years. Any movement that registers 4 and above is considered to be an earthquake. “A 4 and above you will feel; 5 and above, definitely you’re going to feel it,” Jee said. “Nines are very, very rare. We have a few 8s. Five cabinets? and up, 6 — they’re going to do damage.” The record quake to date was in 1960,

“Wait till all the shaking stops,” he said. “Don’t stand in a doorway. Don’t go outside. Get under a table, because the roof or ceiling may fall. Don’t run. “When all the shaking stops, go outside and check on your neighbors. Check on your friends. Make a plan. Don’t call each other within the immediate area. Call out of state. Chances are you’re going to get through. That’s the way to do it and that’s what the emergency people recommend.” Jee went on to explain the similarities between gold, silver and platinum. He mentioned such familiar rock names as granitic, metamorphic and igneous. He showed samples from North Peak and explained that marble often resembles quartz. To test the marble, Jee scratched the white rock with a pin and determined it was, indeed, marble and not quartz. “When you hit walls called the ‘mother lodes,’ that’s a huge concentration of those materials,” Jee said. “Prospecting is looking for those gold veins.” Jee has lived in Borrego Springs since 1977, and retired from Anza-Borrego Desert State Park after 33 years. During that time, he served as the film liaison to the movie industry. He was named State Employee of the Year in 2002, and served as honorary mayor of Borrego Springs in 2000. In addition to his interest in geology and seismology, Jee is a military history and cinema history buff. n

For homeowners who want to modernize their old kitchen, the big question is, should I refinish, reface or replace my older cabinets? I recommend each case be reviewed based on the answer to several qualifying questions. First, what are your main reasons for modernizing your kitchen? • Eliminate the ugly and impossibleto-maintain tile countertops. • Increase the food preparation space. • Improve cabinet access and increase storage. • Make my kitchen an inviting and exciting part of my home. Are you planning on staying in this home for a long time? • Yes, we have decided this is something we want for ourselves. • Maybe, we might downsize in the next few years. • No, we will be moving soon. Do the existing cabinets have high quality hinges, drawer guides and interiors? • Not sure. Everything works but the house was built 25 years ago. • No, the drawers are difficult to operate and the hinges are exposed. • Yes, the builder used good materials and the only problem is the look. Do you have a budget allowance that may influence your choices? • Yes, we are on a fixed income and can’t spend our retirement to do this. • We have no idea what the costs may be, so we have not developed a budget. • We are prepared to do what it takes, but it has to be within reason. My recommendations flow from the answers to these fundamental questions. For example,

it doesn’t make sense to put brand-new granite countertops on top of broken-down, 25-yearold cabinets. Sometimes the cabinets are still in good operating order and refinishing is the right choice. That determination should be made after a professional inspects them inside and out. The next step is to assess the workability of the kitchen layout; do you have low-hanging cabinets blocking the view into the adjacent family room? Do you have more than one way in and out of the kitchen? Is there adequate preparation and staging space to properly prepare and serve a meal? Can you reach into the corners of the lower cabinets to retrieve stored goods? Are the shelves properly secured and sealed from contaminants from canned foods or storage containers? Finally, if you need to replace all or most of the appliances, including the sink and faucet, this may be the best time to make the corrections in the other aspects of the kitchen that constantly remind you that it was built 25 years ago. Many companies advertise that they can reface your existing cabinets for half the cost of replacement cabinetry. This would be true if you did nothing other than re-dress the cabinets, but if you are going to replace the countertops, appliances, lighting and flooring, it may save you as little as 10%. That is because the majority of the cost in cabinetry is in the doors and drawers, all of which get replaced in a reface job anyway. My advice is to consult a kitchen design professional before you make any major decisions regarding your kitchen project. The right decision will be much easier if you have reviewed all of your options. Featuring:

in Chili, registering 9.5 on the Richter scale. “It lifted the entire 1,600mile coast of Chili up 15 feet,” Jee said. He went on to explain the rocky areas in San Diego County. The Julian area, according to Jee, is part of 90 percent of all the rocky areas in the county. All the way down to Baja California and north to Riverside County is basically rock, formed through plate tectonics. “We’re dead in the middle of it,” Jee said. Jee presented a DVD on earthquakes to the library: “Earthquake Country Los Angeles.” He also recommended the website www.earthquakecountry.info and offered advice on what to do in the event of an earthquake.

Quilters Stitch Up a Show

ulian Woman’s Club is well known for its annual Heritage Quilt Show, to be held from June 20 through July 4. This year’s special opportunity quilt is a signature “Nouveau Wedding Ring” pattern by Eleanor Burns, who is a Julian resident and the internationally known quilter of the “Quilt in a Day” TV show. The queen-size quilt is made from jewel-tone, hand-dyed fabric on a black background with a border of appliqued flowers. It was made by the Woman’s Club quilt group with the assistance and under the direction of Burns in her studio on Bear’s Paw Ranch in Julian. “It’s a gorgeous quilt this year,” said Woman’s Club member Merry Jo Rembold. “As usual, Eleanor’s pattern makes a difficult quilt much easier. And it’s a really nice twist on a very traditional quilt. We call it ‘Eleanorizing’ a quilt pattern.” Quilt drawing tickets will be

2129 Main St., on June 18. “We will continue to have our Country Store with smaller, unique handmade items for sale as well as some larger quilts made by members for sale,” said Rembold. “It’s a great place to purchase a unique gift for yourself or someone special.” Those who attend the show

may help select the top Viewers’ Choice award winners. Julian Woman’s Club helps provide scholarships to Julian graduates and donates money to hospice, Pathways and to assist with other community needs. Show hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call Rembold at 760-765-2818. n

way of taking the most difficult and complicated traditional patterns and making them fun and easy to do. Even if you are not a quilter, you can appreciate the beauty and stories that quilting has to offer. Each pattern has a story behind it and makes for a fun-filled event.” Shows will be held at 10 a.m. and at 1:30 p.m. at the Julian Historical Society, 2133 Fourth St. Variety show tickets are $15; call Bragdon at 760-765-4651 for reservations. n

Local Business Honored by San Diego SBA

he SBA (Small Business Administration) San Diego District Office announced its 2014 Small Business Week Award winners, and one local business — Julian Hard Cider — earned a top honor. Julian Hard Cider and President and founder Paul Thomas were named in the category Small Business Exporter of the Year (San Diego District Winner and SBA Region IX Winner). The Exporter of the Year Award is presented annually to a company in San Diego or Imperial County that has excelled at exporting. Julian Hard Cider was judged the winner of the San Diego and Imperial Counties district nominations. The company won the Regional Exporter of the Year award in competition against nominations from nine SBA district offices located in California, Nevada, Arizona and Hawaii. “Everyone here at Julian Hard Cider is very proud to receive this award,” said Thomas. “It’s a non-stop team effort from a very motivated group of people that always want to do their best. When you consider how many small businesses there are in California alone, it’s pretty astounding that we were selected.” The nomination was made by Carrie Brooks, Senior International Trade Specialist, U.S. Dept. of Commerce/U.S. Commercial Service. Sponsor was Carlos E. Figari, director of the Imperial Valley Small Business

The SBA said that Paul Thomas received the honor because he has grown Julian Hard Cider from a locally available beverage to a nationally and internationally distributed brand. Currently, Julian Hard Cider is exported to 12 countries around the world, and the demand for their product continues to grow. The company has had about a 400 percent increase in sales since inception. They currently employ 12 people full time and three part time, and anticipate adding more staff members in the near future. Julian Hard Cider comes from a recipe that originated in colonial America in 1670. The business offers a tasting room on Highway 78, where those of legal drinking age may

Development Center. The criteria for the Small Business Exporter of the Year Award include increased sales, profits and/or growth of employment because of exporting; creative overseas marketing strategies; effective solutions to export-related problems; encouragement of other small businesses to export; volunteer assistance to other small businesses entering the export market; and cooperation with other businesses in the creation of export trading companies and/or introduction of unique trading relationships, products or services, according to Cynthia Harris, U.S. Small Business Administration Economic Development Specialist, Public Information Officer, and International Trade Officer.

this painful experience came wisdom and clarity. “It taught me that I can push through, no matter the pain, and helped me to realize what I wanted to do with my future,” she said. Bailey says she will miss her friends who are going to college farther away, but she is looking forward to making new friendships with like-minded people. Nick Massa, a competitive power lifter, aspires to one day own his own commercial gym. Planning to study business management at Palomar and then transfer to California State University, San Marcos, to finish his degree, he believes that JUHS has prepared him well for the next step in his education and feels up to the challenge. Nick recently attended the Youth Entrepreneurship Program at Alliant International University where he studied relevant business practices in leadership and entrepreneurship training and solidified basic hands-on skills he gained working at the snack bar at the JUHS athletic field.

music, and organize their lives with phones they carry in their pockets. Technological advances have changed the culture over the course of their young lives. Like generations before them, however, they face similar questions, challenges and adventures, and threw their caps in the air at the ceremony that granted them a coveted high school diploma. What is important to them? What will they do next? College, military, law enforcement, travel and employment are in store for Julian’s newest graduates. Here’s a look at the accomplishments and ambitions of some of Julian Union High School’s Class of 2014. With a GPA of 4.26, Lanae Cranfield is honored to be this year’s valedictorian and ecstatic to have been accepted to the University of California, Berkeley, to study English and anthropology. It’s no small accomplishment, as she believes more than good grades got her into UC Berkeley. Advanced Placement classes, extracurricular work and an application with a strong personal statement about what it means to be a writer and what it will feel like to leave her family opened the door to her dream college. Being from a small town hasn’t limited Lanae’s imagination or aspirations. She knows that she will miss Julian, but is eager to represent her hometown. “I think I’ll fit in well,” she said. “I can join clubs and find people with the same interests I have — a small community within the large community.” Already at work on her first novel, which she hopes to finish this summer, Lanae aspires to be a novelist. She’ll also continue to work at Camp Cedar Glen and as an archeological aide at the Borrego Archeology Center before she heads to Berkeley. Another senior has given a lot of thought to what she

interweaving the stories of Xia’s Chinese immigrant family and the Jones family, who agreed to live without Chinese-made products for an entire month of December. The film, which had the audience laughing throughout, also packed a profound punch as film-goers considered the consequences of one family’s decision to permanently leave China and of another family that experimented with temporarily leaving behind Chinese products. At a closing party in Julian Town Hall, festival directors Nancy and Brian Kramer and Terry Ross presented three awards. The People’s Choice Award went to “Backyard,” about five people in four states at odds with natural gas extraction in their neighborhoods. Julian resident Kathleen Beck who saw the film said, “It’s good to remember the moniker NIMBY (not in my backyard) could be as well (next time it might be you), if we think we are immune to such troubles.” The Spirit of the Festival award went to “North of the Sun,” a story about two guys who spend a winter surfing in the Norwegian Bay. Living by their wits, they built a dwelling from objects found on the beach and collected three tons of trash over the nine months they spent in the isolated cove. Best of the Festival award went to “Xmas Without China” for its storytelling, quality of direction, entertainment, cinematography and message. “These films demonstrate that despite all the challenges we currently face in our global environment, each of us can and must make a difference,” said Nancy Kramer. n

Fiddle Competition Revives a Local Tradition

he Julian Fiddle and Pickin’ Contest was held last month in Julian Town Hall with the goal of reviving a 42-year-old local tradition previously hosted by the Julian Lions Club. Avery Ellisman, founder of the Julian Family Fiddle Camp, and Bruce Barnes, president of the California State Old Time Fiddlers Association, District 7, organized the event, which was sanctioned by the association. Ellisman reported that about 40 contestants in all ages and levels entered, and the audience was at standing-room-only capacity the entire day. “I felt that it was an excellent opportunity,” he said. “Julian is perfect for such a contest. It went marvelously well.” Among the aspects that made the contest a success were the central location and the fact that it was sponsored and supported

exclusively by local merchants. “It was a lovely experience from all angles,” he said. “I expect that the 2015 contest is going to see a lot more contestants from much farther distances. The prize money

as they pass wild mustang, grazing steer and other creatures of land and air. “I love the ‘clickity-clack’ sound of the speeder on the track, and because we go slower than trains, we enjoy a view that most people never see,” said Ron. “We’ve seen every animal there is,” added Kitty. While adventure is part of the fun of traveling in a speeder, safety is paramount. To obtain the necessary license to run a car on the rails, an operator must pass a written test and demonstrate proficiency to a designated instructor who “mentors” their first experience on a rail with other motorcars. Unlike automobile driver’s education, there are no “practice” rails, so staying alert and allowing plenty of time to stop is crucial. In addition, a safety inspector checks each car before it may participate in a NARCOA event, and riders must wear appropriate safety gear. NARCOA-sponsored trips

His advice to incoming seniors is: “Be consistent and do the work.” Impressed by the man his cousin became after joining the U.S. Marine Corps a year ago, Tony Moniz decided that he, too, wanted to be part of something bigger than himself and signed up for the Marines right after completing his last season playing football for the JUHS Eagles.

After basic training, Moniz will enter the United States Marine Corps School of Infantry as a military occupational specialist to become a combat engineer. Jennifer Wylie, language arts teacher at JUHS, described this year’s senior class as a “diamond in the rough.” “If they believe in themselves as much as their teachers believe in them, they will be successful,” she said. n

Teaching Retrievers How to Hunt

man’s best friend is often his dog, and a hunter’s best partner is often his hunting dog. For the past 20 years, Steve and Carrie Raney have been raising and training retrievers just for this reason — to hunt. The Raneys sold their home in the city and moved to the rolling backcountry of Santa Ysabel, with views of Palomar Mountain. Their passion for the past 12 years has been developing Raney Ranch Retrievers to breed, raise and train high-quality Labrador retrievers. As co-owners, Carrie oversees the retriever breeding program, and Steve focuses on the retriever conditioning, obedience, gun dog and AKC hunt test programs, which go from junior to master hunt test levels. “We are a husband-andwife team devoted to making each dog the best hunting partner and competitor that they can be,” she says. For hunting dogs, they have classes such as started gun dog training, finished gun dog training, conditioning (trained dogs needing to get back in shape for the hunting season) and AKC hunt test competition. For non-hunting dogs, they offer on-lead and off-lead obedience training, and boarding with exercise, offering folks who travel a place for their dogs to stay. The ranch, located on 150 private acres overlooking Lake Henshaw, offers vast open space on which the dogs can run, train and swim.

“We also have access to land on Palomar Mountain, Mesa Grande and Lake Henshaw to train and compete and to keep the trained dog in shape for what they like to do the most, which is hunt,” says Steve. The facility includes five-star accommodations for each dog on site and houses more than 30 dogs Steve and Carrie Raney’s granddaughter Ashley Anderson, with her dog, per month, using five-foot Serenity “Violet” — Raney’s Violet De Ria — by 10-foot kennel runs receiving Violet’s Junior Hunter title. with off-the-ground barPhotos by Carrie Raney rels.

Certification levels depend on how long the dog has been in training, with AKC titles such as JH for Junior Hunter; SH, Senior Hunter; MH, Master Hunter; and MNH, Master National Hunter. Dogs that pass the Master Nationals three times are entered into the hall of fame. “The retriever’s intelligence and ability to work in the fields in various field conditions is always impressive to me,” says Steve. “Their ability to be directed to a bumper or bird that they did not see fall from the sky — just by hearing whistles and seeing my hand signals — is what I demonstrate most to visitors on the ranch.” The Raneys also breed high-quality retrievers to train to compete in hunt tests and field trials. “We breed puppies that are good-looking, willing to work, intelligent and to be the best companion and hunting partner a hunter can have,” says Carrie. Wes and Suzanne Bryant of Ramona recently picked up their female retriever, Sheriff, after having her complete a series of hunt and field training sessions. “Raney Ranch took our high-energy, disobedient nine-month-old puppy and turned her into a mature, lovable field and family dog,” they agreed. “We are quite pleased.” n

No-Cost Lunches Provided to Local Youth

unger doesn’t stop just because the schoolyear ends. In collaboration with the Julian Unified School District, Julian Library has become the distribution point for free lunches to youth from age 1 through 18. The summer nutrition program began June 10, offering lunches prepared by Jeremy’s on the Hill and brought to the library for distribution. This is a state-funded program, and guidelines are very stringent, according to Julian Library Branch Manager Colleen Baker. Lunches must be consumed on the library premises and may not be taken home. “Sixty-two percent of the students in the Julian school districts qualify for free or reduced lunches,” says Baker. “This could mean that this meal may be the only meal a child could receive during the day. When the school contacted us about being the distribution point during the summer, it seemed like the most logical place. This seems like a win-win for all involved. I would like to see some great things develop out of this partnership, including book clubs or participation in the summer reading program to prevent the summer slide.” Lunches are distributed while supplies last from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.,
