Warner Celebrated 80 Years Of Heritage
Tree Lighting Saturday
Christmas comes to Julian every year in an old-fashioned way that will make you picture sleigh rides, chestnuts roasting on open fires, and Jack Frost painting the whole town white. That may be a bit of a dream. But due to its Cuyamaca Mountains location, the holiday time in Julian gets closer to that dream than most spots in Southern California. You’ll feel a nip in the air, sniff wood fires, and maybe catch a glimpse of snow capped mountains surrounding town. Country Christmas Tree Lighting – Saturday, November 24th Julian kicks off the holiday season with the annual lighting of the town’s huge living Christmas tree, presented by the Julian Merchants Association. This is a popular event, drawing hundreds of visitors who gather at Pioneer Park to watch the lighting and visit with Santa. Staring at 2 the traditional musical, dance, and spoken word performers will welcome the season prior to the tree lighting after sundown. For the first time, all performers are local Julian residents or from nearby Ramona. Musicians this year include: Glenn Smith, Kathleen Beck, daughter Felicia Hill, and granddaughter Livia Limon, Jake’s Mountain: Janice BinaSmith, and Blake Rodgers; Jesse Cross; Alex Sharps and Nat Copeland; Juliana Stewart’s Out of the Box Players; Julian Arts Chorale; Ramona/Julian Dance Academy; Lysa Copeland Locals and visitors alike enjoy! The Tree will light between 5 and 5:30, then Santa will be delivered by Fire Truck for all the kids in attendance to share their lists.
Warner Springs has had a school for 80 years, in celebration of their anniversary a new stage/amphitheater was dedicated on Wednesday the 14th. The project which was supervised by local residents Byron and Chris Klemaske, Construction by TB Penick and Sons, with financial assistance from the American Society of Concrete Contractors and Decorative Concrete Council, plus other fund raising. Saw improvements to the entire schools walkways and outdoor athletic facilities, moving of the quad area flag pole and installation of concrete bench area. The showpiece was the construction and placement of the three tribal emblems behind the stage wall. The new construction will give a permanent ceremonial area for the entire school (pre-school thru High School) and instill a sense of pride for students, faculty, staff and parents for future events. Planning for the construction had taken place over the summer with most of the work being completed the first part of the school year. Indian Advisory Committee – Shannon Stein, President and Nichole Denmark VP along with Gina Norte, Secretary worked on incorporating the various elements of the project and helping to bring it to fruition, coordinating with Superintendant David Macloed. Also installed in time for the ribbon cutting was a new electronic message board along highway 79, keeping passers bye up to date with the activities and events happening at the school. The pre-ceremony featured local band Natural Selection, who had the place jumping, with most of the elementary school filling the stage area to dance in preparation for the festivities that followed. After the ceremony all in attendance where invited for refreshments and an opportunity to congratulate those involved in the project. Warner has come along way from the days when the school house was moved to various locations throughout the area.
