The Julian News 3
Local Bike Team Racing Ahead
Team Gold, Julian's own
youth mountain bike team, is
off to an impressive start to
their 2015 SoCal season with
an excellent showing at the Vail
Lake Challenge last weekend.
Newcomer Nat Copeland, a
7th grader, started in his first
mountain bike race ever and
though an unfortunate draw
placed him in the last row of the
100+ rider start, Nat managed
to pass over 50 racers to finish
in the top half of his race. A
very impressive effort for a new
rider on a mainly single track,
technical course. Riding in his
second SoCal race of the season,

an incredible 6th place finish.
Obviously, Iongtime coach Chad
Leptich was pleased with the
boys' efforts and their potential
for the remaining season.
Anyone interested in cheering
on Team Gold is welcome to join
them at Vail Lake on April• 25th
at 4:00 p.m. for the middle school
race and April 26th at 10:00 a.m.
for the high sc/pooi race.

freshmen Ethan Elisara improved
on his 15th place finish at his
first race with an amazing fourth
place at Vail. His outstanding
placement earned him a trip
to the podium for a medal - the
icing on his birthday cake! (Ethan
turned 15 years old on race day).
Veteran David Stringfellow, a
sophomore, missed the first
SoCal race due to a concussion
sustained during the soccer
season. Back on the bike for only
one week after a 5 week layoff,
David also was staged in the last
row of his race start. He skillfully
maneuvered past 80 riders to
Don't Get Tripped Up By Life's Stumbling Blocks
(StatePoint) While obstacles
can get in the way of pursuing
your intended goals, if you're
resourceful, they can also
present an opportunity to forge a
new path.
For Lani Hall Alpert, Grammy
Award-winning vocalist-turned-
author, this sentiment hits close
to home. At the peak of her
success in the mid-'80s, Alpert
contracted a debilitating case
of Chronic fatigue syndrome,
also known as the Epstein-Barr
virus, forcing the singer to take a
reprieve from performing. In spite
of losing the physical energy
required to sing and perform
onstage, Alpert turned to writing
and being true to them are the
keys to being happy in the face
of change.
• Find your therapy: If you're
going through a hard time,
figure out what will help you to
self-actualize. For some it may
be to create art, for others it's
to achieve physical fitness or
acquire knowledge. Everyone
has his or her own healing
mechanism, and if you're lucky, it
will choose you.
"When I couldn't sing, writing
helped empty myself of the worry
and fear that I was experiencing,"
says Alpert. " have always used
creativity to find my own truth."

Thousands Of Free Plants Distributed To
School Gardens Throughout San Diego County
San Diego County, CA: The Resource Conservation District (RCD) of Greater San Diego County, in
conjunction with Altman Plants of Vista, gave away thousands of plants last Thursday to help support
school garden programs throughout San Diego County. This is the sixth year that the RCD has facilitated
this much-needed school plant giveaway, benefitting 132 elementary and middle schools.
With childhood obesity on the rise, more and more schools are making the commitment to create and
maintain school gardens, which
use fun, hands-on gardening
techniques to teach students
about healthy eating. The nearly
1,500 vegetable and herb
seedlings donated by Altman
Plants will help hundreds of
schools get a jump start on their
Spring planting.
In addition to vegetables and
herbs, schools received more
than 1,200 narrowleaf milkweed
seedlings, a variety of milkweed
native to California. The plants
were grown by Butterfly Farms
in Vista and donated by the
RCD. Milkweed is the only
food source for the dwindling
Monarch Butterfly population.
Because of this, the RCD created
its "Milkweed for Monarchs"
program to encourage schools
and individuals to grow native
milkweed in their gardens to help
increase the number Of Monarchs
throughout the county.
The RCD is also encouraging
schools to participate in a citizen
science program to monitor the

Outrageous Fortune Comes to the BBS Playhouse.

some of Shakespeare's tragic
characters in a self-help group?
Prospero, Shakespeare's

battle Fate, Lady Anne is driven

Richard schemes and stalks with
Dece ption by his side. How about
Hamlet - what is his fatal flaw?
