Young regularly photographs
the endangered bighorn in

sometimes waiting for hours to
capture the perfect shot. Young's
determination and patience have
allowed him to document rarely

sometimes violent behaviors
of sheep. His photos show the

1. What a month January
2010 has been: The first two
weeks were lovely clear but
cold days. The second week
of the month news forecasts
by the media were alarming all
week and all forecasts" said we
would be getting twenty inches
of rain. Many of us were getting
apprehensive. The week of the
17th arrived and on Sunday it
was cloudy. Soft rain began on
the 17th until Monday the 18th.
We received one and a quarter
of an inch from that shower. It
was that there was a respite
between sieges of rain the rest
of the week. We received five
and a half inches of rain on the
20th and the 21st, then five more
inches the 22nd and a full inch
at the end of the storm on the
23rd. It had also snowed about
four inches as well.• The snow
had frozen and when I shoveled
a path to my bird garden, there
was about a two inch layer of
solid ice beneath the snow. The
snow lasted until the last day of
the month, the 31 st.
During this week, we also had
much hail and very heavy winds
especially through the evening
and night hours. Nights were noisy
with the wind relocating items
around the yard and crashing
into the house at times. So,
my total rainfall measurements
for the week are twelve and
three quarters of an inch. The
Simpsons friends of mine
registered over fifteen inches in
Pine Hills area. Needless to say,
we were glad when it was finally
all over. I am very happy to learn
that my modular home withstood
it well.
Our Whiter week we will long
remember.
The last week of the month
was mostly clear but very cold
and the temperatures warmed
up a bit the last three days of the
month.
2. The very first thing I do in
the morning after it had snowed
during the night is putting much
bird seed for the birds. Their
source of food is all covered with
snow. As a result, I had many
many birds dining in my yard. I
put the bird seed all in a plastic
containers and I had many
visitors throughout the following
days. I enjoyed seeing so many.
I wondered how they spread the
word around the neighborhood to
let them know I had lots of food for
them. I also enjoyed all the Blue
Jays activities at my feeder with
peanuts. The Black Crows as
well. I used up a lot of bird seed
those days and kept putting more
out every few hours. I have also
been putting out a lot of dove and
quail food and more wild doves
have been visiting me.
3. The lower level of our town
hall has a new look. Dorothy
Bent who heads up the Town
Hall Crafters shows has made
new curtains for all the windows.
They are lovely and add a nice
warmth to the big hall. Dorothy's
expertise is making doll clothes
which she exhibits and sells
during their craft shows. Besides
all this, she is always willing and
able to do repair work on many
of our personal wardrobe needs.
4. Although the snowfall
amount was not great, there
was a lot of snow around the
weekends and we had record
crowds of tourists on weekends.
It was fun watching children
tossing snowballs at each other.
5. Things have been pretty
quiet at the town hall this past
month. Many meetings had to be
rescheduled due to the weather
but we all survived.
6. I had never seen snow on
the ground last as long as the
recent snowfall and it is because
it was all ice beneath it all. I did
enjoy it all.
7. Now we are looking forward
to a new month, and it sounds
like there is more rain in store for
us and that is just fine with us all.

Johanna Hansen's 'Intelligent Design'
At Santa Ysabel Art Gallery
At Santa Ysabel Art Gallery,
February 20 through March 28,
2010, will be Intelligent Design,
a one person exhibit featuring
the witty and socially sharp
clay pieces of well-known San
Diego County artist Johanna
Hansen. Intelligent Design is an
installation made up of many clay
and mixed media creatures - all
swimming or flying in the same
direction, expressing Hansen's
observations about the evolution
of nature, man and the man-
made. Reception for the Artist
will be Saturday, February 20,
4-8 PM. Admission is free. The
public is invited.
Johanna Hansen was born in
Lakeside, California, and has
lived there most of her life. Even
though she studied painting and
printmaking at San Diego State
University, she has always worked
primarily in clay and mixed media
and is a full-time artist, beginning
her career as a middle school art
teacher. Hansen says her ideas
come from the "wealth of subject
matter in the everyday". In her
clay sculptures, she confronts
a variety of topics with whimsy,
humor and satire. Her use of
vibrant color, simple and symbolic
forms, and the directness in her
'message' clearly reflect her
love of folk art and her years of
working with children. She sees
her pieces as "little dialogues
with my audience...vignettes...
ditties...haiku...ratherthan
epics..."
You might call Johanna
Hansen an artist's artist. Her
fellow fellow artists talk about
and admire her work, and
many of her colorful pieces are
purchased by them. Her own
artist's statement explains a little
the appeal her work has for her
collectors, artists and non-artists
alike:
"1 tell stories. Anything
from falling in love to reality
T.V. to the horrors of war...
if I stumble upon it and it
matters, I just might turn it
into a piece. I was raised on
J.C. Penney, Sears and just
two channels on television.
My street was named Sunny
Lane. My sister was runner
up Miss Lakeside and I was
not. I taught middle school
art and learned more from
my preteen students than
I've learned anywhere else. I
married someone I admired.
I buried a baby son as I
carried another inside of me.
Both my parents are gone,
yet they let me keep the best
of them with me and I use it
every single day.
My material of choice
is clay. Clay takes form,
records impression, and
accepts color with ease.
Expressively, clay is fragile,
as is my subject matter."
Johanna Hansen has exhibited
in Southern California galleries
and museums for the past thirty
years. This is her second exhibit
at Santa Ysabel Art Gallery. She
lives with her husband and their
son.
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. The
gallery is closed Tuesday
and Wednesday. For more
information call (760) 765-1676.
