International Women’s Day
International Women's Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social,
economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women's equality. International Women's Day (IWD) has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific.
Julian Pathways Highlights Counseling
by Kim Simas
It was a warm June afternoon when Krystin Erickson walked onto the Julian Elementary School campus. She was already working with Vista Hill as a counselor and would be making a move to Julian soon. Krystin had been studying to get her Marriage and Family Therapist license and was interested in continuing her work with children on a school campus. Soon after walking into the school district office, she was taken to speak to the Executive Director of Julian Pathways, Inc., Hilary Ward. Ward had been looking for ways to expand the counseling services the district already received from Vista Hill. The Julian Elementary School District is unique in its ability to provide counseling and therapy services to its students on a regular basis. The district had been contracting with Vista Hill for several years however it was difficult to keep a consistent counselor on campus. Giving students an opportunity to seek help from one dedicated person who would be available on campus each day, was definitely a welcome idea. So when Erickson was introduced to Ward by Brian Duffy, the district superintendent, it didn’t take long to see the potential standing right in front of her. Erickson was quickly hired by Julian Pathways, Inc. as a Marriage and Family Therapist beginning this school year. She works on the elementary and junior high campuses and provides both traditional mental health therapy to students as well as school-based counseling. Currently, Erickson helps students learn healthy social and emotional skills that are necessary for success in all areas of life by providing counseling groups and through students’ self-referrals to "Talk to the Counselor." The students really enjoy talking to her and even include her in their games at recess. It’s not unusual to see Erickson surrounded by a group of students or being chased in a game of tag. The teachers, school administrators and Ward are so happy to have Erickson join the Julian Pathways team. Erickson is also opening a private practice in Julian to provide her services to the entire community. Erickson works with children, individuals, couples and families and has experience working with a variety of issues including: depression, anxiety, identity issues, self-esteem, marital conflict, family conflict, anger management, selfharm, trauma, grief and loss.

Julian’s daffodil show will be March 21 and 22nd and the entry day is March 20 Friday noon to five o’clock. If you’ve noticed any showstopper blooms in your yard up to two weeks before the show you can pick them. Place them in a jar of water without wedging them to firmly up against one another. Folds and Bends will be permanent if they happen in the refrigerator. Other blooms that show just a half inch of color can be saved in the refrigerator and brought out two days before the entry day to warm up in a light sunny window If you’re searching your yard Thursday the 19th or Friday the 20th look for proud balanced daffodils. Blooms with no dirt (use a soft brush to remove), no tears, with long stems. Sharpies can mark stems with their daffodil names if you know them. Donations of all of the blooms are gladly excepted to raise funds for the show. We have some wonderful prizes. And you’ll be amazed to learn more about the wonderful Narcissus Family.

A simple representation of a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. As light from a deuterium lamp is sorted through a prism/diffraction grating, a slit is used to isolate a subset of wavelengths, which are absorbed in the sample cell. The transmitted light from the sample cell is used to produce an absorbance spectrum. Do We really Know that the Universe is Expanding, or What Makes Up Stars, Asteroids and Exoplanets? Just How Do We Know? Come and find out at the Julian Library on Saturday, March 7, at 11 am. Young scientist and San Marcos HS student, Vivek Vijayakumar, will speak about how astronomers have used spectroscopy, a tool discovered by Isaac Newton, to unlock many of the mysteries of the known universe. At age 16, Vivek has already done graduate student level projects in astronomy and astro-physics, using his amateur astronomy equipment. He has earned numerous state, national, and international science awards, as well as the opportunity to participate in a summer-long workshop at the prestigious Max Planck Institute in Heidleberg, Germany last year. In addition to his passion for engaging in astronomical research projects, Vivek loves doing star parties, where he sets up his equipment and gives people the opportunity to gaze out into the cosmos, both through the telescope, as well as with the spectrograph attached. Some Julian residents have already encountered Vivek at the Julian Library during the Mercury transit last November, or at Julian Dark Sky Network star parties at the United Methodist Church, Orchard Hill Country Inn and William Heise Park. In addition to his presentation, Vivek will have a telescope and spectrograph set up for us to look at the Sun's spectrum, and see first hand how we can tell what its composition is. Don't forget to bring your curiosity, as well as your curious young ones!
This is an invitation to a special event on Saturday, March 21, from 3 to 6 PM at Santa Ysabel Art Gallery: The Opening Reception of a special one week group exhibition commemorating the life of Conor Jack Gernandt, a young man who grew up in Julian. The title of the show is The Other Side: What Love Brought Together and will explore themes of light, afterlife, and camaraderie. The exhibit will be at the gallery from March 21 through March 28. 2020. Admission is free. The public is invited. Conor Gernandt, age 27, passed away on November 1st of last year after a sudden illness. His death had a big impact on everyone, even those who only knew of him. Shortly after he passed, his friend and curator of this group show, artist Kelvin Lopez, had a dream of a fantastic art exhibition that honored him. This is how the show for Conor began. This led to Santa Ysabel Art Gallery coming forward as a venue and with professional artists donating artwork to the effort. Call the Santa Ysabel Art Gallery for the names of contributing artists. Conor’s mother Deb Gernandt, wrote of him after his death: “His greatest delight was to uplift, entertain and support. In so doing, he touched many a heart. And with that gift, he will live on and be remembered as one who impacted and touched many and smiles upon us all”. In that spirit his friends and family offer this exhibition. All art will be for sale and proceeds will go to a foundation to benefit healthcare that is being established in Conor Jack Gernandt’s name. Santa Ysabel Art Gallery is located at 30352 Highway 78 at Highway 79 in Santa Ysabel, seven miles below Julian. Gallery hours are Thursday through Monday, 11AM - 5 PM, and by appointment. The gallery is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. For more information call gallerist Annie Rowley at (760) 765-1676.
