Since music teacher Gail Croman reinstated a dedicated music program

at the Julian Elementary School this year, her classroom has become an outlet for learning and student creativity in unexpected ways.

Being flexible and allowing students to set the tempo for learning, Croman has enabled student leaders to step up and create a program suited to

individual and group-learning styles and objectives.

Her first year as music teach-er was an exciting transition after years of teaching academic classes in the upper elemen-tary grades. Kindergarten through fifth-grade Principal Scot Copeland acknowledges Croman’s long tradition of helping students, based on their individual needs.

“In this role as music teacher, she has continued being special for many students,” said

Copeland. “She enjoys helping kids with special needs.”

Working with the younger children, Croman taught kindergartners to read notes, play a tune on the xylophone and transfer that knowledge to a keyboard, an accomplishment she was amazed to learn was possible with children of such a young age.

Another pair of self-moti-vated students took it upon

Gold Rush Days is a Step Back in Time

Experience the history of the old West at Julian Gold rush Days, set for June 27 and 28.

The event marks Julian’s gold rush in early 1870, when cattleman Fred Coleman found the first flecks of gold in a creek. It was short-lived and nearly over within a decade, but pioneers stayed in the area and began farming.

Costumed hosts at Julian Mining Company, 4444 Highway 78, will be on hand to interpret what life was like in a California min-ing camp in the 1880s. Admission is $3 per person and free for children 12 and under. There will be vendors, an arts and crafts market, food and bever-ages, gem mining, children’s pioneer games, free parking and plenty of family fun.

Historical encampments will entertain and educate,

offering an opportunity to meet miners, mountain men and cowboys, and see gun fight-ing reenactments, mock claim jumping, tomahawk throwing demonstrations and more.

In addition to events at Julian Mining Company, activities around town include a scavenger hunt for a “golden

nugget,” performances on Main Street by the Julian Doves and Desperados, gold mine tours at Eagle and High Peak Mine and Museum, and a special train ride and gold tour at Smith ranch.

Six combat veterans are participating in the “Walking off the War” Warrior Hike

program by hiking the 2,650 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada.

Currently on the trail are Stephen Thomas, a Marine Corps combat engineer offi-cer from Encinitas; Anthony Jaramillo, an Army combat engineer from Hesperia; Anne Dios, an Army intelligence ana-lyst from Sunland, Calif.; Sharon Smith, an Air Force medical service specialist from Banner Elk, N.C.; Eric Sorensen, an Army

armor crewman from Lacey, Wash.; and Joshua Staggs, an Army infantryman from Dupont, Wash.

The American Long Distance Hiking Association West iden-tifies the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) as one of the “triple crowns” of long-distance hik-ing, along with the Appalachian Trail and Continental Divide. As one website, theclymb.com, describes it: “Stretching from Southern California to Northern Washington, this trail has you touching both ends of the country. With over 2,700 miles of Western frontier to explore,

Clean, efficient propane has long been recognized as an environmentally friendly energy. Propane provides safe, clean, reliable, efficient and secure energy. That’s good value for consumers, the environment, and America.

Walking Off the Warthe PCT crosses through 25 national forests and seven national parks. From the High Sierras in Central California, to the Cascades cruising through-out Washington, this trail provides enough mountain awe to coast on for the rest of your life.”

For the six vets, their jour-ney on the Warrior Hike is very purposeful — a purpose identi-fied by Sean Gobin, the Marine who started the program.

Gobin was a Marine enlisted infantryman and armor officer who did three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. After leav-ing active duty, he decided to walk the Appalachian Trail with a fellow Marine as a fundraiser to purchase adaptive vehicles for the severely wounded, such as one of his Marines who had lost both legs during the war. Within days, Gobin discovered that the hike was positively impacting his transition back to civilian life.

Explaining that he “went from the battlefield to home” in 72 hours, and that the transition program he experienced upon leaving active duty was little more than a PowerPoint slide, the unexpected importance of the long-distance hike on the process of transitioning was something he wanted to share with other vets.

After completing the hike, he learned about a warrior

from an earlier time who had a similar experience.

“In 1948, Earl Shaffer told a friend he was going to ‘walk off the war’ to work out the sights, sounds, and losses of World War II,” the Warrior Hike website states. “Four months later, Earl Shaffer became the first per-son to hike the entire length of the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. Following in Earl Shaffer’s footsteps and in recognizing the therapeutic effects of long-distance hiking, Warrior Hike has created the ‘Walk off The War’ program, which is designed to support combat veterans transitioning from their military service by thru-hiking America’s National Scenic Trails.”

Gobin started the Warrior

Hike to provide other veterans the same experience, which he calls a “reverse boot camp.”

“Just as boot camp was a rigorous, arduous journey to prepare you for war,” he says, the Warrior Hike is a “rigorous, arduous journey to help transi-tion” back into civilian life. The hike is a “grueling endeavor” that puts the participants “through the mental, emotional, and physical grinder.” They go through self-healing, dealing with their personal demons and memories.

He says that for those who saw the worst of combat and came away with a “bitter perspective of humanity,” interacting with people and

communities along the way provides an opportunity to learn to appreciate the best their fellow citizens have to offer.

The overall experience is truly impactful and important.

It is so impactful that Sharon Smith is doing it again, after hiking the Application Trail as part of the 2014 program. It is so important that Anthony Jaramillo lost nearly 40 pounds preparing for it. Veterans of Desert Storm and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, they came together to undertake six to eight hours of hiking each day for more than 2,700 miles over several months.

There are a few moments of relief along the way.

The Borrego Springs American Legion Post 853 provided one such respite in late April, when members opened their homes to provide meals, showers and a night’s rest on a

bed instead of the ground. on the veteran-to-veteran level, Gary Saunders

of Post 853 says, “It was like we’d known each other forever.” He described the younger vets as “dedicated, wonderful people,” committed to this unusual mission.

It is not at all surprising that an older generation of veterans is standing up to provide support to the younger generation.

Many of the older vets dealt with their own demons and memories decades earlier. Many younger vets are doing so today, undertaking a grueling — yet rewarding — adventure. n

Six Bands Set for Julian Blues BashFor 17 years, the Julian Blues

Bash has entertained music aficionados who come

from far and wide to attend.This year’s event, set for

June 20 at Menghini Winery, will feature six stellar blues bands, including Louisiana’s own Jonathon Boogie Long & The Blues revolution; The Gino Matteo Band; The Boscoe France Band; The McCoy Brothers; Chet and the Committee; and The Bayou “Blues” Brothers.

“This year will feature three kings of the blues,” says robb Bower, who presents the Blues Bash each year. “Boscoe France and Jonathon Boogie Long have

previously won the nationwide Guitar Center/Gibson King of the Blues contest. The third, Gino Matteo, a local favorite,

was a runner-up. When these three blues masters close the show together, the guitars will be on fire!”

Walking Off the War COntinueD FROM PAge 2

Bower says there will be affordable food, beer and other vendors, and a chance to win an Epiphone SG electric guitar and other prizes.

“over these 17 years, we have amassed a lot of good friends, and the festival is almost like a family reunion,” says Bower. “Fresh air, sunshine, get out of town for the day on the weekend — it’s an affordable, fun, family day.”

Gates open at 10 a.m., and

the music is from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 1150 Julian orchards Dr. Coolers and pets are not allowed, but beach chairs, small umbrellas and pop-ups are welcome.

Julian Salutes July 4th with a Star-Spangled Parade

Julian honors our nation’s birthday with a salute to those who made our

country great, especially the veterans who have served as far back as World War II.

For more than 20 years, Julian residents, friends and parade lovers from all over have lined up on the town’s main thoroughfare to wave their flags, cheer the marching bands — four this year — and salute the U.S. Marine Corps color guards.

In 2014, the parade was canceled at the last minute due to a brush fire roaring toward town. Following the cancel-ation, the parade committee vowed to make this year’s event the best ever.

Local dignitaries will include San Diego County Supervisor

Dianne Jacob, Honorary Julian Mayor Stacy Peyakov, Julian Chamber of Commerce Merchant of the Year Jeremy Manley, and Miss Julian 2015 Emelia Gregor and Teen Miss Julian 2015 Jessica ramos, all cruising along in snazzy cars. Those who simply want to show off their prized or antique vehicles will also be included. Expect to see a line of vintage tractors, a troupe of belly-danc-ing gypsies, World War II veter-ans, and Boy and Girl Scouts.

Also riding in the parade 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.

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 World War II airplane flyovers.

The American Legion pres-ents a big celebration featuring a monumental barbecue lunch, entertainment and daylong fun.

Julian Woman’s Club was honored with a Senate Certificate of recognition

by California State Senator Joel Anderson in recognition of its 2015 Wildflower Show, held last month, and for the mem-bers’ dedication to the better-ment of the Julian community.

“The Wildflower Show is a fantastic Julian tradition that encourages people to learn about the extraordinary plants

around us and to care for them,” Anderson said. “I am grateful for the time and service of the Julian Woman’s Club for putting together a beautiful show right here in our community.”

The club has expanded to more than 50 members in recent years and is organizing new programs for the community, including fighting illiteracy by tutoring children and adults. n

War Veteran Uses Arms to Pedal a Message


He doesn’t remember the June 26, 2011, improvised explosive device (IED)

blast that put him in a coma for two months. It happened during his third deployment in Afghani-stan and left him without his legs, but not without ambition.

With a goal to raise $20,000 for the Semper Fi Fund and awareness for adaptive athletics, and to inspire hope, strength and courage to others, Toran Gaal began his handcycle ride Across America at 6:30 a.m. in Seaport Village, downtown San Diego, and rolled into Julian fewer than 12 hours later.

The Semper Fi Fund and its America’s Fund program give financial assistance and lifetime support to post-9/11 wounded, critically ill and injured mem-bers of all the branches of U.S. Armed Forces and their families, providing needed resources for their recovery and transi-tion back to their communities.

Since 2004, the Semper Fi Fund has issued in excess of 93,500 grants, totaling more than $109

million in assistance to 14,000-plus heroes and their families.

The 28-year-old former Marine has a team backing his impressive aspiration. A sup-port vehicle, driven by friend and fellow veteran amputee Brian riley, is following him, maintaining visual and radio contact all the way across the country. Gaal credits fiancée, Lisa Graves, with helping make his dream a reality. Dozens of businesses and organizations are also behind him, including Julian’s orchard Hill Country Inn, where he spent the night

while in town.Gaal prepared for the ride

with strength training, daily rides and eight marathons.

“The idea started as a joke,” he said of his escapade, as he held court at Wynola Pizza & Bistro surrounded by friends, family and some members of American Legion Post 468 in Julian, including Medal of Honor recipient John Baca.

He was exhausted but happy after climbing Highway 67. It was the first tough hill of the 65-day, 3,000-plus-mile excur-sion ahead, a warm-up for the

On his way to Julian, toran gaal takes a break in Ramona and chats with well-wishers. PhOtOS by Ann Reilly COle

rocky Mountain peaks that he’ll face in a couple of weeks.

The ride will traverse 15

states, going as far north as Boston, Mass., and ending at Arlington, Va. Updates are

posted on his website, www.torangaal.com, and on Twitter at #ridetoranride.

Gaal gets up those hills riding a Top End recumbent handcycle with 18 speeds and three wheels, which Semper Fi purchased for about $8,000. The support van carries spare tires, tubes and pumps to quick-ly perform routine maintenance on the road and keep him on the move. In case a severe

mechanical problem develops during the tour, there’s a spare handcycle ready to go.

Two flags fly from his cycle, representing the United States of America and the U.S. Marine Corps, which represent free-dom, and those who fought and died for that freedom.

The Gaal team’s mission is to educate and inspire people about what veterans can do when they get the help they need to be successful. They aim to demonstrate that an active life is possible for people with disabilities, no matter what.

“As long as adaptive athletes want to pursue a sport or other kind of physical activity, there will be organizations to support them,” said riley. “They must make the choice that they want an active life.”

If war injuries caused some setbacks and disappointment for Gaal, they were only temporary. Today he is a man with a mission and the drive to fulfill it.

“The only limits in life are those we set for ourselves,” he says. n

Father and Son Put Customers First at Don’s MarketBy Ann Reilly Cole ~ the journal

He cut his teeth bagging groceries at a ralph’s market in 1954, and eventually worked his way into management. In 1991, after 10 years running

Alpha Beta in ramona, Don Brown was faced with an interesting proposition.

Ernie Auerbach was looking for someone to run a grocery store in Santa Ysabel. The catch was that the store didn’t even exist yet.

“He told me he would build what I wanted and lease it back to me if I would I come and run it,” said Brown. “It was a big step, but I thought, ‘What the heck,’ and answered ‘yes.’”

Don’s Market has been at the gateway to the backcountry for 25 years. PhOtOS by Ann Reilly COle

The timing was right to venture out and start his own business. Alpha Beta had been sold to Lucky, so change was in the air. Brown put everything he had into building the establishment that now bears his name, Don’s Market.

It takes some time to create a business from the ground up. Don’s Market is no exception. In the early days, there were times he didn’t know if he would make it, but he hung in there, and now Don’s — an integral part of the backcountry landscape — meets the needs of locals and tourists alike by giving the customers what they want and being a good community partner.

Brown built his store around the meat department, where customers, some of whom travel from as far away as Escondido, find great steaks, prepared kabobs, pinwheels and chicken breasts, and 11 flavors of homemade chicken or pork sausage. There is plenty more to fill a shopping cart, with packaged foods, baked goods, household supplies, a wide selection of fresh fruit and produce — locally grown, when available, and much more.

Spending some of the profits to keep the store up to date is an important part of Brown’s strategy for success. Earlier this year, he installed new registers and refrigerator cases. More recently, the bathrooms got a new tile makeover to brighten things up.

These days, Brown leaves the day-to-day manage-ment to his son, Scott, who has been with him from the start. The younger Brown is happy working alongside his dad.

“We complement each other on different things,” said Scott. “He gives me leeway to do what needs to be done.”

Scott enjoys getting to know his customers and providing them with what they want. He goes out of his way to cater to the locals with a good mix of products at fair prices.

“I have to remove myself — my tastes — and get

what the customers demand,” he said. “Sometimes it surprises me what sells.”

Good employee relationships are another critical part of the Browns’ business plan.

“Your employees treat your customers they way you treat them,” said Don.

With very little turnover, some of their 15 employees have been with them for many years, while others are young adults starting out with their first jobs or moms re-entering the workforce.

“It’s great to be able to give employees a decent wage,” said Scott, who has grown close to his employees.

Father and son believe they are in partnership with the community, and sponsor many local organizations and events.

“I like helping people,” said Don. “I’ve been in this business all my life. It could be a tough job if you don’t like people.” n

Julian Junior High School (JJHS) hosted the annual Invitational Track Meet on

May 27, competing with teams from three other schools in the county. The last league event in a yearlong series of sporting events gave students a chance to develop teamwork, good sportsmanship and com-petitive skills in the traditional track and field events of run-ning, jumping and throwing.

Students represented their schools with a lot of pride and just a bit of rivalry, after com-peting throughout the year in different sports on different campuses. The only event held in Julian, the invitational gave the Timberwolves a home team advantage and earned them a first-place trophy with an overall score of 95 points — 37 points ahead of second-place

finisher, Cottonwood School in Aguanga, followed by Pauma Elementary School in Pauma Valley and Vallecitos Elementary School in rainbow.

Initially scheduled two weeks prior, the event had been postponed due to inclem-ent weather. recent rains left the field green, and the blue skies made for a great day for athletes and sports fans.

There is a lot to organize to host an invitational with more than 30 events and dozens of athletes. After 11 years of handling the task, Julian Junior High has it down. Trudy Wells, the JJHS secretary, tackles most of the organizing of schedules, paperwork and rosters for each event, as well as staying on top of equipment. The school staff, led by Curtis Martineau and Stacey Ludwig, divides up the rest of the work, with the help of parent volunteers who

supervise and keep score at each of the contests.

“others say this is the smoothest-run competition they attend,” said Martineau.

Though participation is high, not every student at the school gets to compete. Athletes must meet qualifying times, get good grades and have physical clearance from doctors to take part in the popular track meet. Primarily a seventh- and eighth-grade event, sixth-graders can compete if they are needed to fill in gaps that may exist or if they score high enough in qualifying trials.

Martineau credits the Timberwolves’ success in training four to five days a week during physical education class and notes that, overall, the junior high sports program pre-pares student athletes for suc-cess in high school. The students are eager to help each other practice and learn skills, and they beg for more practice time.

“We train more than other schools because we have the facility,” said Martineau.

The Julian teams took first place in 20 of the events and swept all three positions in the eighth-grade girls shot put and the eighth-grade boys high jump.

The last names of students are not being given, at the

“It was fun,” said Ludwig. “We were worried about time, but the kids knew what they needed to do and did really well. We got lots of compliments.”

“There are no permits at the (trail) site, so it’s tough to be turned away after making the trip there,” he said.

“It’s best to contact the station a day in advance, mid-morning to early afternoon,” he added. It doesn’t take long for permits to be sold out.

As for the lucky ones, he said the biggest issues are the need for a lot of water and to wear appropriate clothing.

It is a challenging, 4.4-mile round-trip hike.

The Cleveland National Forest had opened the east access to Cedar Creek Falls located near Julian off of Eagle Peak road. After a short distance, Eagle Peak road

becomes a county-maintained dirt road.

The preserve is raw land without improvements, except for a parking area and a small shade ramada with a picnic table.

“We encourage you to visit in the morning before it warms

up,” Fredrickson said. “It can get warm there during the summer and fall months.”

Ready for a Test RunFred Grand, president of

Pacific Hospitality Group, is extremely pleased with Warner Springs ranch resort golf course’s new look.

The company spent many months bringing the course back to life, and a formal reopening is planned this summer. No date has been set.

“We made a slide presenta-tion for the neighbors near the ranch for an update on what’s going on,” he said.

“It looks beautiful. We’ll probably have a few members of the men’s and women’s golf clubs test it out sometime this month.”

He said there’s been high demand from people who want to play.

Although there may be some concern by other county courses about water usage, Grand said Warner Springs will not have a problem.

Grand said they’ll be able to mix their hot springs with potable water from their wells, so the minerals won’t over-whelm the turf.

“The highly sustainable springs will offer an acre foot a day,” he said.

“Also, there is so much demand from people wanting to use the hot springs again that we’re exploring the possibility of reopening the spa for day use of the pool and hot springs, with some form of membership, while we’re working on the rest of the property.” n

Cal Fire Suspends Outdoor Residential Burning

As drought conditions continue to increase fire danger in the region, Cal Fire has suspended all burn

permits for outdoor open residential burning within the State responsibility Area of San Diego and Imperial Counties. This suspension took effect June 1, and bans all residential outdoor burning of landscape debris, including branches and leaves.

“San Diego lives with the threat of wildfire year-round, and it is critical that the public do their part to be extra fire safe when outdoors,” said Tony Mecham Cal Fire San Diego Unit and County Fire Chief.

“With record-setting drought condi-tions, we must take every step possible to prevent new wildfires from starting,” said Chief Ken Pimlott, Cal Fire director. “one less spark means one less wildfire.”

Similar to last year, Cal Fire has already responded to significantly more wildfires than usual. Cal Fire is asking residents to ensure that they are

prepared for wildfires, including maintaining a minimum of 100 feet of defensible space around every home.

It is also recommended to clear dead or dying vegetation 100 feet around all structures, landscape with fire-resistant and drought-tolerant plants, and dispose of landscape debris by chipping or hauling it to a biomass energy facility.

The department may issue restricted temporary burning permits if there is an essential reason due to public health or safety. Agriculture, land management, fire training and other industrial-type burning may proceed if a Cal Fire official inspects the burn site and issues a special permit.

Campfires within organized camp-grounds or on private property that are otherwise permitted will be allowed, if the campfire is maintained in such a manner as to prevent its spread to the wildland.

themselves to play a duet on keyboard and violin, practicing on their own time.

Throughout the year, Croman’s music room was open before school and during recess, available to any student who wanted access to music. It became a gathering place for kids that didn’t fit in on the playground, providing them with a kind of educational support different from the academic classroom and giving them a positive outlook on their school experience.

In particular, early on, a group of four students expressed an interest in making their own ukuleles. Croman leveraged this interest as a motivational tool to inspire students to better manage academic educational objec-tives, while they enjoyed the unusual challenge of building their own instruments.

Working with commercial kits that came with the neck, fingerboard, bridge and tuning pegs separate from the body, the students stained and glued the pieces together before stringing and playing the instruments.

over the course of three months, students colored their

instruments, learned to follow printed instructions step-by-step, employed construction techniques, used hand tools, and developed a profound understanding of the instru-ment they would play and keep for themselves.

It was not an easy task to get from a box full of parts to a working instrument, but the students enjoyed the hands- on process.

“It’s been fun,” said James, one of the four ukulele mak-ers. “We get to get our hands dirty, to paint and take some time and work with friends. You should want to make these!”

Croman intended to spend the entire school year teach-ing the ukulele. After the first semester learning chords, stu-dents were able to perform holiday songs at a Christmas assembly, taking charge at that performance.

“They announced the performance and did the accompaniments all on their own, without adult participation,” said Croman.

Before long, though, the students got restless and expressed an interest in learn-ing the guitar and keyboard. At first, Croman said no, but then

reconsidered, realizing that the students were actually asking to learn something more.

Using an unconventional Australian method, Croman set up weekly guitar and keyboard sessions, in which students practiced chords to play popu-lar music. Interestingly enough, in the end they chose to return to the ukulele, deciding to play and sing the popular tune “Count on Me” for a perfor-mance during their graduation from Marisa McFedries’ fifth-grade class.

“They are so happy,” said Croman of the ultimate success of her program. “Getting fifth-graders to sing is not easy.” n
