Oak Glen is southern California’s “apple valley”, By John G. Sulpizio and my choice for lunch was the Apple Dumpling Restaurant and Bakery. Shawn and Sheri Ryan, the owners, offer a great menu at fair prices featuring, what else, apples. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. Morning fare is less that $5 and dinners are priced less than $10. But save room, because their real piece de resistance is the apple dumpling with cider and cinnamon sauce for $3.95. The décor is airy and garden‐like with white lace, family friendly and hospitable. The building is the oldest “sck con‐ strucon” structure in San Bernardino County, originally serv‐ ing as a stock and equipment barn for the founder of the re‐ gion, Enoch Parrish.

    NORDITALIEN • NORTHERN ITALY 5 VORWORT „Lass uns doch mal über die Dolomiten bis runter nach Venedig fahren!“ – Für alle Soulful Driver ist das ein emotionaler Schlüs- selsatz, bei dem sofort alle Synapsen pure Freude funken. Da entstehen Bilder im Kopf, die beinahe verbotene Wildheit mit sinnlicher Schönheit verbinden. Der Norden Italiens lebt von einer mitreißenden Emotionalität und scharfen Gegensätzen, die in den Alpen so ihresgleichen suchen. Man sieht sich auf der Stelle im verbissenen Duell mit den Serpentinen des Stilfser Jochs – und gleich darauf in der weiten, überhitzten Ebene hin- unter zum Mittelmeer ausrollen. Zufrieden. Kurvensatt. Positiv geladen. Wir können davon nicht genug bekommen. Und des- halb: „Lass uns doch mal ...“ — “Let’s drive over the Dolomites and down to Venice!” For all “Soulful Drivers”, this is an emotional key phrase which im- mediately sets off fireworks of pure joy in every synapse. Images are created in the mind that blend almost forbidden wilderness with sensual beauty. The north of Italy lives from intoxicating emotions and sharp contrasts that are unparal- leled in the Alps. One moment you find yourself in an intense duel with the switchbacks of the Stelvio Pass – and the next minute you’re cruising over the wide, simmering plains down to the Mediterranean. Happy. Curve-satiated. Positively charged. We simply can’t get enough of it.

  • Andreas Hofer -Tyrolean Patriot
    †† AAnnddrreeaass HHooffeerr The Tyrolean Insurrectionist and His Numismatic Legacy by: James T. Martin Andreas Hofer -Tyrolean Patriot In the age of the Napoleonic conquests in Europe, Andreas Hofer, a patriot of the Tyrol stood up against this rising tide and left a brief numismatic legacy. Born in November of 1767 at St. Leonhard in the Tyrol, he was the son of a long standing family of innkeepers. When Andreas inherited the Sandhof Inn from his father he was already involved in the local horse and wine trade. This background of respect and the contacts he developed in his trade were to serve him well when combined with his natural leadership abilities. Before we take a look at his heroic insurrection against the Bavarian and Napoleonic forces lets examine the historical backdrop that led to rebellion. The Tyrolean region of Austria is located at the eastern end of the Alps and bridges northern portions of Europe with the northeastern areas of Italy. As such it was a major trade route that required the people of the area to be obstinate and proud of the their culture in order to maintain their identity. During the Middle ages the Tyrol was incorporated into the southern part of the Duchy of Bavaria. Later, the area was ceded to Duke Rudolph IV of the House of Hapsburg, and thus it’s traditional association with Austria today. Napoleon first marched on Tyrol in June of 1796, during the 1st Republic of France. Under this threat many Tyroleans gathered in the parish church in Bolzano (in Italy today) and vowed that if God granted them victory they would hold an annual religious procession.
