The Little Free Pantry Concept was started in Lafayetteville,
Arkansas. Since then it has spread to all kinds of communities, each
with their own unique approach. The "take what you need, give what
you can" concept changes both the giver and the receiver. The only
qualification for using the box is being human. People leave food and
basic human needs and people take what they need.
Items that shopuld not be left in the box are alcoholic beverages,
over the counter and perscription medications of tems that could be
We humbly thank those who made this box and this day possible.
Harry and Sabina of Wynola Pizza and the Wynola Pizza staff for
generously sharing their space in a leap of faith in our project.
ALL of our box captains who check the box and make sure things
are O.K. and Every person who takes a moment to pick up a few extra
items to stock our box.
Julian Cuyamaca Volunteer Firefighters for sponsoring, assembling
and driving the box to its spot and setting it up- anything we asked
was done!
Nico and Heather of Candied Apple for donating time and pastries
so that we can reach our goal of a second box very soon!
Thank you to the community of Julian for being supportive and
generous to each other because you are what will make this box
bless others — both those who give and those who receive.
Heather Rowell organized, planned and then threw an opening day party for
the “Blessings Box” Little Free Pantry. Set up just outside Wynola Pizza.

WASC Time Again
At The High School
The Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of
Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC), a world-renowned accrediting
association and one of the six regional accrediting agencies in the
United States, works closely with the Office of Overseas Schools
under the U.S. Department of State. ACS WASC provides assistance
to schools worldwide, primarily in California, Hawaii, Guam, Asia, the
Pacific Region, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.
Sunsay started the process of re-accreditation at Julian High
School with a tour of the school led by students, It will continue
through Wednesday as staff will meet with the committee on progress
the school is making in producing students ready to move forward
with their lives.

Strides Being
Made In The
Julian High
School FFA
Throughout Julian Union High
School's history, there have been
many organizations. Each one
has had an impact on students,
teachers, and the community.
One of these organizations is
the National FFA organization.
FFA has been around since
1928. That is 90 years! In those
90 years, it has evolved and
become a national organization
that has changed the lives of
many people. When most people
think of FFA they only think about
animals and farming, but that is
not the case. There are so many
more opportunities
Just recently there was a
new addition made to the Julian
Union High school staff, Curtis
Martineau. Along with teaching
five classes, some of which are
vocational education, he has
taken on the laborious task of
being the new Julian High School
FFA advisor. When he took over
the program there wasn't very
much participation. He started to
advertise FFA and the potential
that it has. More and more
students began to join!
One of these opportunities is
the speech competition, which
includes mock job interview,
extemporaneous, impromptu,
creed, and prepared public
speaking. This year Rylie Boyd,
Nick Carneiro, Makayla Lucas
and Nicole Arias competed in
impromptu, advance prepared,
and job interview. This year the
competition was held at Poway
High School. Sophomore, Nicole
Arias who participated in the
mock job interview was the only
one who placed high enough in
her competition, to move on to
the southern section regional,
at the Poway competition, Nikki
placed third qualifying her to
move on to the southern region
competition
On March 20th, 2018 the
regionals were held at Cal Poly
Pomona. In the mock interview,
there were 14 students, each who
had placed third or better at their
section competition. It was every
competitors goal to advance
to state. This time Nicole Arias
placed 5th just barely missing the
opportunity of going to state by
one place. This was her very first
time in FFA and she was one of
the very few underclassmen that
participated in the job interview
competition. “This was truly a
great experience. FFA has truly
changed people’s lives and
every day makes an impact on
somebody’s life.” Nikki hopes to
go to the State level next year
with the goal of winning.
Hillside Church recently went on a humanitarian/mission trip to
Malawi. The seven-member team left Julian on April 13 and returned
April 25. Working closely with PB&J (Peanut Butter & Jesus), Nkhoma
Hospital, and AfriCare Orphanage, the team worked tirelessly to help
different villages, the hospital, and orphanage in many ways.
PB&J is an organization that wants to reduce the number of

According to measurements taken by volunteers on Julian’s Sky
Quality Monitoring (SQM) team, the month of May has some of the
darkest nights of the year, and four planets will be “best in show”
this May. Jupiter is in opposition to the Sun (exactly on the opposite
side of the Earth from the Sun) starting on May 8th, and this means
that Jupiter is up virtually the entire night and the planet and its four
Galilean moons are at their brightest during the month. You should
be able to see the two major cloud bands on Jupiter, the South and
North Equatorial Belts, separated by a whiter zone. Jupiter will appear
low in the southeast in the constellation Libra all month. Venus will
appear in the west-northwest near the constellation Gemini for a few
hours after sunset and it will set about 2 ½ hours after sunset by the
end of May. Saturn rises in the southeast just after midnight on May
1st and about two hours earlier on May 31st. Finally, Mars rises in the
east-southeast after 1:30 a.m. on May 1st and a little after midnight
on May 31st.
I told readers last year that May is the month for beautiful globular
clusters, and we took a look at M5 (Messier Object 5) in the
constellation Serpens Caput. This year turn your binoculars to M3,
also one of the largest globular clusters in the northern hemisphere.
Recall that globular clusters are the mysterious giant balls of stars
(between 100,000 and 1,000,000 stars) that orbit our Milky Way
galaxy (and other galaxies) in highly elliptical orbits well outside the
galactic disk where most of the galaxy’s stars orbit. Astronomers
estimate that there may be 150-200 of these globular clusters orbiting
our Milky Way galaxy, and that at least some of these clusters may
be the cores of smaller galaxies that formed in the early universe
before our own Milky Way and were absorbed by our galaxy later in
its development. Although M3 is actually in the constellation Canes
Venatici (the Hunting Dogs), the easiest way to find it is to locate the
two brightest stars in the Coma Star Cluster (nearly overhead in the
constellation Coma Berenices located just south of Canes Venatici)
and draw an imaginary line running east-west about as long as your
extended fist between those two stars. If you extend that line another
50% longer to the east, you will come to a very bright fuzzy ball that
is M3. This globular cluster has been described as “a stellar-like core
surrounded by a gradually fading halo”. This fuzzy ball contains an
estimated 500,000 stars.
The peak of the Eta Aquariid meteor shower will be in the predawn
hours of May 6th. The radiant (source point) for this shower is the
constellation Aquarius, which appears low in the east about 90
minutes before sunrise. However, this year’s meteor shower will be
accompanied by a waning gibbous Moon, so the sky conditions will
be less than ideal.
