James Hubbell Honors Santa Ysabel Art Gallery With A Party And Exhibit James Hubbell has a new show at Santa Ysabel Art Gallery. An inspiring installation that he has titled Totems: A Gathering of Memories, Dreams and Wishes. To poet Hubbell the name Totems suggests the marking of a path, the marking of a road. Santa Ysabel Art Gallery has been part of James Hubbell’s path for 23 years. He is hosting a party and celebration to honor this 23 year old gallery, and the art community that has grown up around it, that will be held in conjunction with the Opening Reception for his Totems exhibit. The date for the party and Opening Reception for Totems is Saturday, March 7, 4-8 PM. Admission is free. The public is invited. James Hubbell is an internationally acclaimed San Diego County artist. Hubbell, a sculptor, painter, stained glass artist, poet and designer and builder has created many large pieces of public art in San Diego County and around the world. This new exhibit, Totems: A Gathering of Memories, Dreams and Wishes will feature sculpture, assemblage, drawings, paintings and stained glass. A major figure in the art and architecture world, James Hubbell studied design and painting at Whitney Art School in New Haven, Connecticut until being drafted into the army and serving in Korea. Returning home, he chose to study painting and sculpture at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. In 1958 he married Anne Stewart, a teacher, and moved to Santa Ysabel, in the mountains of San Diego County near Julian. It is here the couple designed and built their home and studio with help from family and friends. They named it llan-Lael, a Hebrew name which to them symbolized the joining together of spirit and matter in wholeness. With the building of additional studio buildings and the artistically famous 'Boy's House', an adjunct dwelling that they built for their own four growing sons, Ilan-Lael grew into what is now known as the Hubbell compound, the place from which James Hubbell has made his art for over 40 years. The original Hubbell house and studio have been rebuilt in recent years after burning in the Cedar wildfire of 2003. After the fire, the home was designated as an historical site by San Diego County. James and Anne Hubbell host the Ilan-Lael Foundation Open House there, a fundraiser, every year on Father's Day.
Please join us at the Julian Branch Library on Saturday, February 21, 2015 at 1 PM as we welcome Mark Jorgenson as he speaks and shows a slide presentation about Desert Bighorn Sheep. Jorgensen released a book last fall on this topic. Mark Jorgensen grew up hiking, camping, and hunting in the western states and western Mexico. He has been intrigued by desert bighorn sheep since he was 11 years old and has spent five decades studying and pursuing them throughout their range. He became a State Park Ranger for California State Parks after four summers studying desert bighorn for Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in southern California. He went on to become the last Park Naturalist for California State Parks at Anza-Borrego, as well as a Resource Ecologist, and he finished his 36-year park career as the Superintendent of AnzaBorrego. He is a member of the Technical Staff of the Desert Bighorn Council, Inc., an advisor to the Bighorn Institute, and was an original member of the Federal Recovery Team for the endangered population of desert bighorn sheep in the Peninsular Ranges of southern California. He previously co-authored a book about Anza-Borrego and has written numerous articles for newspapers and magazines. “Desert Bighorn Sheep: Wilderness Icon” is the most comprehensive photographic work on this elusive symbol of the deserts of the southwest United States and northern Mexico.

JCFPD CERT Sponsoring Disaster Preparedness Classes
Hubbell has designed hundreds of commissions: glass, doors, sculpture, architectural details, fountains and gardens. When building, James Hubbell works in stained glass, forged iron, wood, cement and other materials. He has designed and built restaurants, homes, chapels, schools and parks. He is best known for the Chapel at Sea Ranch, in Northern California, and for the Doors of Abu Dhabi, now in the United Arab Emirates. Current Hubbell projects include three new buildings that will comprise the Ilan-Lael Art and Nature Center at the Hubbell compound in Santa Ysabel, and two large windows that frame the entrance doors of the new Ramona Library. James Hubbell’s work has become known through videos and publications in the United States and from abroad. He is the subject of two KPBS public television documentaries: The Art and Vision of James Hubbell and Eye of the Beholder. In the past decade he has been honored with several exhibits at the Oceanside Museum of Art and the Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park. Hubbell was also featured and with an exhibit, The Architecture of Jubilation at the Shusev Central Museum of Architecture in Moscow, Russia. For many years Hubbell has led design / build classes with students, with some of these classes leading to the construction of parks around the Pacific Rim. There are now seven Pacific Rim Parks. The most recently completed park was built in Taiwan with the help of twenty-four architectural students from around the world. James Hubbell sees the parks as a way to open up dialogue about evolving Pacific culture and community. Santa Ysabel Art Gallery is located at 30352 Highway 78 at Highway 79 in Santa Ysabel, seven miles below Julian. Admission to the gallery is free. Gallery hours are Thursday through Monday, 11AM - 5 PM, and by appointment. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday. For more information call 760-765-1676.
Beginning in March, the Julian Cuyamaca Fire Protection District (JCFPD) CERT program will be presenting a series of monthly meetings focusing on disaster preparedness. The meetings are free and open to anyone in the community who would like to learn how to better take care of themselves, their families, or neighbors in the event of a disaster. The meetings will include some of the more pertinent CERT modules, such as Basic Medical Training, Small Fire Suppression, Search and Rescue, Disaster Preparedness. In addition, participants will have an opportunity to learn about Defensible Space, CPR, and becoming partners with American Red Cross. The JCFPD CERT program would like to encourage community members to attend any or all of the Community Outreach meetings. It is not necessary to attend all the meetings. The goal of JCFPD CERT is to educate and inform as many people in our community as possible, so that in the event of a major disaster, individuals and families can be self-reliant and prepared to help themselves and others, if needed. Disaster preparedness is everyone’s responsibility. JCFPD CERT is pleased to be able to offer these classes to the community. A schedule of the upcoming workshops and more information will be coming out soon. Check the Julian CERT website (www.juliancert.com and www.jcfpd-cert.org) for updated information.

Young worked for years to assemble tens of thousands of high quality photographs and assemble them into what is the finest collection of desert bighorn photos ever published. Author Mark Jorgensen brings his five decades of experience studying desert bighorn sheep and managing their habitat to provide the informative text of this book. The book’s six chapters features some 200 high quality photographs featuring rare behavior, sheep in their rugged desert habitat, ewes nurturing newborn lambs, and massive rams in stunning ritualized combat for dominance. The
text documents the struggle to provide habitat for the desert bighorn from Nuevo Leon west to Baja California, Mexico, and from Texas west to California. Today, well-regulated hunting programs in the United States and Mexico have generated millions of dollars in revenue, which has been directed to bighorn management and conservation programs. This talk will take place after the Friends of the Julian Library Annual meeting, which begins at 12:30 PM. Refreshments will be served following the presentation. For more information, please call the Julian Branch at 760-7650370 or the Friends of the Julian Library at 760-765-2239.
Julian Historical Society Presentation
History of American Lanterns
Woody Kirkman, a 5th generation Ramonan, will present a history of the American Lanterns. Woody began making lanterns in 1983 when he was in high school and working in his family’s historic Woodward Feed and Supply at 10th and Main in Ramona. His fascination with lanterns has not diminished through the years. He now has a private collection of more than 1,000 lanterns – “one of everything, dating back to the 1860s” he said. Woody reminds us that there were no batteries or electricity, so lanterns were how everything got lit. He has lanterns for streets, farms, railroads, fire departments and everything else from hunting lairs to boats. This presentation is open to all and free of charge. Refreshments too.
