The Calaveras Community Band's Fall Concert, a Mother Lode tradition, will take on added significance when it' s presented Sunday at Bret Harte High School in Angels Camp. All money raised will be donated to the Central Calaveras Firefighters Association and the Mokelumne Hill Volunteer Firefighters Association. "Many ofour band members know of people who suffered losses in the recent Butte Fire," said band director Mic Harper.

Noted for presenting their music in unique places, this feminine trio collaborates in the planning for each performance to assurethe perfect ambience and atmosphere. The trio features Diggle and Telford on flute, and Williams on cello. Diggle,ofSonora, holds a music degree from San Diego State University. She began private study of the flute in fourth grade. Among her many teachers have been Roger Stevens, principal flutist for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, and Luella Howard, principal flutist for Twentieth-Century

Fox Studios. Telford, of Soulsbyville, holds degrees in music from San Francisco State and Penn State universities. She is the former executive director of the Sonora Bach Festival, founder of the San Jose Chamber Music Society,and former co-editor

of "Music for the Love of It," a newsletter for amateur musi-

cians. She maintains an active private music teaching studio. Meanwhile, Williams is a transplant from Atlanta, who has been living in the Murphys area for the past 10 years. She was on the faculty of the Georgia Academy of Music for 35 years and has played with the Bear Valley Music Festival for 25 years. She continues to perform regularly with the Atlanta Ballet Orchestra. At Sunday's concert, the trio w ill explore the range ofthe

flute family: the C flute, piccolo and alto flute. The group originally employed two C flutes, but challenges with two same-sounding instruments quickly surfaced. "We foundthat we wanted to broaden the spectrum and timbre of sound created by the two flutes," Diggle said. The alto flute is longer and

wider than the standard C flute with an ethereal sound that provides the lower tones of the trio. The piccolo is a much smaller

instrument than the C flute and provides the brilliant high tones that complete the full bandwidth of the trio's sound.

Choosing the Strawberry Branch puts you in touch with significant Tuolumne County history. In addition to the railroad, downstream &om the Strawberry trailhead,some ofthe river is

channeled into a long, raised flume hugging the bank. The inside of the trough is painted yellow, and as it snaked downstream it reminded me of the dragon in a Chinese New Year parade. Though there is a narrow single board atop the Philadelphia Ditch, it is not recommended for visitor use. Serious injury or drowning is a reality to those who lose balance. Philadelphia Ditch is, in its own right, just as historically important as Sugar Pine Railway. Along with others, the ditch is a terrific ambassadorforthecounty'srecreational, historical and natural resources. Nottobe overlooked is its importance to wildlife that relies on the water and lush riparian vegetation for sustenance.

Old railroad grades make great hiking trails because most have a gentle grade. Philadelphia Ditch was built by miners in 1899 to supply water for their gold mining operations. Currently, it is utilized for power generation at Spring Gap, after which the water is transferred by penstock to the Middle Fork Stanislaus River. There are places to reach the riverfrom the old grade. Shaded streamsidenooks offerdelicious toe-wiggling or swimming when water flow is safe. Anglers, too, will want to throw a line in. As you ramble along and above the river, note numbered posts which are linked to an interpretive brochure available at Summit and Mi-Wok Ranger Stations. Post Five is my favorite. Check it out. It's my opinion as a wellseasoned trail junkie that a path offering more than an out-andback journey is very desirable. A trail that has a lingering aura of historical events makes it even more appealing to many folks. Furthermore, the Strawberry Branch has options for those who resonate with my viewpoint. The trail can be hiked as a sixmile-long roundtrip &om StrawberrytoFraserFlatorvice-versa. If you prefer less distance, follow it one-way &om either end, you' ll need a shuttle car for this option. You can also walk on the railroad grade in one direction, and return along the ditch. As if those choices aren' t enough, there is one-mile riverside jaunt &om the parking lot next

to the Strawberry Store to the Pinecrest Dam. Walk up Herring Road between the store and the South Fork. Always near the stream, the road quickly turns to trail. Follow orange blazes painted on the trees. If you have the bandwidth, &om there a fourmile circumnavigation of the lake awaits. Bottom line, as always, relevant to all options; walk as far and at the pace that suits you. Strawberry Branch, because of the mellow grade and many options, is an exceptional choice for youngsters. Do not be destination oriented because it's all good whereveryou choose to callita day. So,go on,getoutthere and play with Ma Nature! I' ll be watching you so leave your cell phone in the car or at the very least turn it off. Seriously, you' ll be just fme unleashed from it for a few hours.

Steatt House 8' pine Dininq Vhe History of the Eproson House Ray and Ella (Giannini) Eproson moved to Twain Harte with their familyin 1930. Vhefamily owned the Twain Harte Grocery (where7-11 is now located). Ray became Twain Harte's Postmaster and Fire Chief, and the Post O n ce was located in their store, which,for many years, was also their home. Vhey began building their new home on (what is now) Twain Harte Drive during World War II. 7his is the current location of the Eproson House. It was in 1947 and hadfive rooms. Vhe Post

completed

Once was moved to the front part of what is now the bar. Ray and

Ella's bedroom was located behind the Post Once. 7he children' s bedrooms were located in what is now the dining room between the currentbar and the new dining area near thef ir eplac.

Ray Eproson died in 1967 and Ella lived in the house until her death in 1972. In 1973 the house was sold to Mr. and Mrs Warton who converted the home into a restaurant, "7he Eproson House." Dick Rachel took over the restaurantfrom the Wartons, and later sold it in 1975 (7)to Martha Scott, who owned the business until 1991. Martha added the new dining area on the west end of the building (the sky room). Vhe bar and restaurant became the social and business center of Twain Harte. Since 1991, the Eproson House has had several owners an,d

for a short time, a diferent name. It is, once again, the Eproson House Restaurant. We welcome all of you past and present to our House, the Eproson House. Enjoy!
