Julian Theater Company Presents: Valentines Dinner Theater This Thursday And Friday at Jeremy’s Meet The Author Next Thursday At The Library
The Julian Library is excited to announce that Joe Diomede will be joining us for an Author Talk on Thursday, February 23, at 2 PM. He will be discussing his new book, Cycles of a Traveler. AuthorHouse publishing writes “Cycles of a Traveler – A celebration of humanity in all its wondrous glory and the world in all its devastating beauty. From the streets of The Bronx, Joe Diomede accomplishes his dream and heads out across America on his motorcycle for a once in a lifetime trip with his college buddy. For Joe it doesn't stop there – it turns into his yearly ritual. When a small mishap on one of those journeys puts him on a collision course with his life's path, the bitter reality of the poverty and injustice he confronts leads him to look at his life in a different light. A bicycle soon replaces his trusty motorcycle and we are led down the backstreets of Japan, maneuver on the muddy roads in the rainforests of Borneo, freewheel throughout the European countryside, and up to a chance meeting with fate high in the Himalayas. While mingling with the people who share our planet we are drawn into a search for meaning at a time before the internet offered instant answers, and mobile phones kept us in constant contact. Explore the world from the saddles of Joe's cycles; adventure becomes accessible to us all, coincidence takes on new meaning and synchronous moments become the norm. We become conscious that, although cultural, linguistic, religious, and social differences seem to separate us all, we’re truly on this ride together. Put on your leather jacket, slip on your bike shorts and enjoy these true tales of voyage, discovery and synchronicity.” We hope to see you at the Julian Library on Thursday, February 23, at 2 PM. For more information follow the Julian library on Facebook (@ SDCL.julianbranch), or visit Joe’s website www.cyclesofatraveler. com. The Friends Of The Library membership drive is in full force, see one of the volunteers at the Book Store for more information how you can join and become involved in all the activities that the Julian Branch offers, including buying new books and videos

The Code Of The Underground Railroad With Eleanor Burns, Next Wednesday Acclaimed Quilt author Eleanor Burns will share her research on the ten “code” quilt blocks and their use in the Underground Railroad movement on Wednesday, February 22, 7 PM at the Julian Historical Society meeting. The Underground Railroad story is one of the most dramatic chapters in our nation’s history. It is a story about how countless slaves made their way out of bondage, risking death for freedom. Runaways met up with a “conductor” in the dark who whispered “follow me.” They were guided on an arduous 250 mile journey from the South, intertwined throughout the North, and eventually ended in Canada. Runaways needed to navigate through a labyrinth of pro and antislave groups and individuals in the north. Slaves were forbidden learning to read or write so secret coded symbols were devised to guide them to freedom. One of the most famous “conductors” on the Underground Railroad was Harriet Tubman. She pieced quilts for fugitives while hiding in the woods, waiting to continue her mission northward. Harriet made

Eleanor Burns will explain how slaves planning to escape were taught through the display of quilts, as the Bear’s Paw Quilt, block number three of the secret code told in oral history. “Follow the trail of a bear’s footprint,” they were told. Bear’s footprints would lead them to food and water. The Wagon Wheel Quilt was also used to explain the secret code. Wagons with hidden compartments were one of the primary means of transporting escaping runaways. Code quilts as related to the Underground Railroad have been disputed, and are hard to believe. However, through interviews and oral history, numerous accounts from families of former slaves have reinforced their stories.
Qiqong Class At The Library
qi·gong - ˌCHēˈɡäNG,-ˈɡôNG/ Noun: qigong Def: a Chinese system of physical exercises and breathing control related to tai chi.
The Julian Library is very excited to be offering another healthrelated opportunity: a weekly Qiqong class, taught by Vika Golovanova. Qiqong is an ancient healing system that integrates physical postures, gentle stretching, breathing, and focused intention. With roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, philosophy, and martial arts, qiqong is viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance qi, or life energy. In the class you will learn simple and practical exercises to recognize and unwind patterns of tension; strengthen the nervous system and relieve stress; balance the energy of the mind and emotions; and generate and cultivate energy for self healing. The class will meet on Wednesdays promptly at 4 pm and run for 45 minutes, beginning Wednesday, February 15. Please wear comfortable, warm clothing and bring a mat and/or a sitting cushion. For more information, please call the Julian Library at 760-765-0370, or Vika at 858-692-3994. We hope you will join us to learn how to become life giving, creative centers of energy.
Daffodil Show Time Start Looking For Your Winning Blooms February seems to sneak in and warm us up in Julian. Apricots are showing, plums are exploded with blossoms and you may have noticed your daffodils are jumping up. Julian’s Daffodil Show will be Saturday March 4th & Sunday March 5th 2017, Noon to Five pm.. We need you to search through your yard for the best blooms: no dirt (use a soft brush to remove), no tears, long stems and proud balanced daffodils. The American Daffodil Society (ADS) has asked the Julian Daffodil Show to please not compete with them this year. The National ADS Show is being held in Sacramento, Ca March 9th – 12th, and they asked that we not use those dates. If you want entry cards early to fill out prior to Friday, March 3rd, please pick them up at the Library during the week starting February 20th. Sharpies can mark stems with their daffodil names, if you know them. Donations of all other blooms are gladly accepted to raise funds for the show. If you notice a storm brewing a week to ten days before March 3rd, scour your yard for good daffodils. The buds need to have some color on the tips if you expect them to open. Place them in a vase of water in your refrigerator or a cool dark place. The day or two before March 3, bring them to the light; a windowsill or bright table. Since the nation has noticed this small town show, WE ALL need to bring your best two to thirty stems. Hope springs eternal - Down the springtime hills there spills - A rivulet of daffodils. The passing public sneaks a peek. Perhaps a gold mine sprang a leak.
