Calling All Locals To Upcoming Blood Drive

by Lauren Vandewalle

Julian High School’s Community Service Club is preparing for the last blood drive of the year! It will be held on Saturday, April 18th, from 9 am to 2 pm at the library parking lot in front of the high school. There are 57 slots available and only 31 people have signed up thus far, so please come! Mornings are generally busier, so if you’re planning on walking in, the line is much shorter from 11 on. If you’d prefer to make an appointment, please contact the Community Service Club Advisor, Mrs. Wylie, at Julian High School. There are many reasons to donate blood besides saving lives. Donors can earn points they can redeem for gift cards and other prizes; you can learn more about this at www.sandiegobloodbank. org. Based on how well our community does in terms of units donated, Seniors at Julian High School can receive scholarships for college from San Diego Blood Bank. Also, if you’d like to see a Julian student receive the honor of wearing a Red Cord at graduation, you can ask to donate in his or her name. Every donor is so appreciated! Please make sure you eat a good meal before donating. Bring a photo ID. You will be asked about medications you are taking and places you have visited in the last three years. If you are unsure if you are eligible to donate, you can click on the Donate Blood tab at www.sandiegobloodbank.org. The Community Service Club is looking forward to seeing you on April 18th!

For the first time in five years Julian High School was allowed to once again host a Citrus League Track meet. Repairs on the track have just been completed, thanks to a Community Enhancement Grant from Supervisor Diane Jacob at the recommendation of the Julian Planning Group. Results were not available at press time for team or individual recognition.

Fiddle Camp 5 - Another Success Then Flash Jam Fill Town With Tunes

As has become tradition when the fiddlers come to town for their week of Fiddle Camp out at Camp Cedar Glen, Friday and Saturday nights are concerts featuring the camp’s instructors and Sunday is the Flash Jam in front of Town Hall and then throughout the town itself. The objective is two fold. First to give all the campers a chance to experience town and practice in-mass the lessons learned and second to show their appreciation to the locals, who have supported the camp and what it brings to the community. This years concerts were nothing short of spectacular once again. Friday was organized around Chris Coole and his old time/claw hammer/quick pickin banjo. Assisted by Mari Black and Katie Glassman on fiddles, Luke Price with guitar and fiddle, Brian Oberlin with mandolin and flat foot dance(percussion) of Rebecca Stout. They put on a show for the assembled campers and locals who bought tickets for the two hour performance. Saturday was no less entertaining, featuring the husband and wife band “Taarka”

with Enion Pelta-Tiller, David Tiller and joined by flat pick guitar specialist Scott Law and bass man Gene Libbea(who resides just up the 79 in Riverside County). After a 70 minute set they were joining by Glassman, Stout and Black to finish off the evening in a packed house at the Camerer Hall. Suday’s Flash Jam was over 70 musicians, some who came just to play and included not just fiddles, mandolins, guitars and banjos, but a washboard, recorder, guitarron (think Mariachi), harmonica and voices, dancing feet. A hour of strolling musicians from one end of Main Street all the way down to Granny’s Kitchen with stops in between.

Historical Society On Track With Another Presentation

We are pleased to welcome Mr. Madison Kirkman, Founder of McKeen Motor Car Company Historical Society. Mr. Kirkman is currently in the process of bringing back a historic part of San Diego County. Dating back to 1908, a McKeen Rail Motor Car named “Cuyamaca” #1. McKeen Motor Car Company built about 150 motor cars between the years 1905 – 1917. Out of those only 3 motor cars still exist: Virginia & Truckee Railroad #22; Southern Utah Railroad #100; and San Diego, Cuyamaca & Eastern Railroad #1 “Cuyamaca”. “Cuyamaca” is the oldest of the three and quite possibly the oldest existing aerodynamic land vehicle in the world. At the beginning of its life, it served passengers riding between San Diego and Foster (now under Lake San Vicente), and was later sent to the Yuma Valley Railroad to serve as a miner transport. Later “Cuyamaca” was sent to Alaska and transported passengers, baggage and even solders during WWII. The car has sat in Anchorage, Alaska since the late 40’s and has only deteriorated since. Mr. Kirkman’s plan is to bring “Cuyamaca” back to San Diego and restore it to factory running condition. He has pictures and wellwishers from all over the country. Come join us and hear about his quest. We look forward to seeing you. This presentation is open to all and free of charge. As always new members are welcome and there will be refreshments too. April 22 - Wednesday, 7:00 p.m. Julian Historical Society, 2133 Fourth Street.
