Julian Arts Guild
Artist Of The Month
The Artist of the month for November at the Julian Library will
be Annie Dover. Born and raised in San Diego, California, Annie
graduated from San Diego State University with a BA in Psychology
and Music. She also earned an MA in Counseling and a Teaching
Credential from SDSU and holds an AA in Art. Annie is an independent
and largely self-taught artist who has been active in the region for
over 25 years. She has adopted a multitude of approaches to her
work; from personal symbolism to psychological figurative to plein-
aire painting. Her oil paintings are of real life experience tinged with
romantic realism. Annie has been the recipient of many awards. She
has had several solo shows. She has been featured in Southwest Art
Magazine, American Art Collector and International Artist Magazine.
She is an associate member of OPA (Oil Painters of America). She
is represented by Santa Ysabel Gallery in California and Sugarman-
Peterson Gallery in Santa Fe, NM.
About her art, Annie says, "The viewer of my recent paintings
seems to open a door and step into the intimacy of my subject. The
small size of my paintings compels the viewer to take an additional
step forward to feel the intimacy. My subject is primarily the figure
in his/her rudimentary form; unposed. I'm attracted to variety, mood
and mystery; whether mundane, expressive or passionate, of the
human person. I create a story on canvas which elicits wonder. Like
a seasoned writer or playwright, my goal is to communicate to my
viewer via paint an emotional connection to my visual story. My props
are a heightened sense of color; strong value contrast and design;
and content which has universal and personal appeal. Great art is a
bridge between our heart and the heart of the world."

When Disasters Strike1, You Can
Be Part Of The Solution
(NAPSM) - Every 24 seconds, somewhere in America, a fire
department responds to a fire and firefighters are on the job, saving
life and property. What many people may not realize is that most
of these firefighters are volunteers. Seven out of 10 firefighters and
emergency responders are volunteers, protecting their communities
from a variety of hazards and saving taxpayers nationwide an
estimated $140 billion a year. They come from all backgrounds,
professions, ages, genders, races and ethnicities. The Problem
Many local departments are struggling to meet staffing needs.
Call volume has tripled in the last 30 years as fire departments'
roles in communities continue
to expand, making the need for
volunteers greater than ever. Yet
many community members are
unaware of this need. A survey
by the National Volunteer Fire
Council (NVFC) found 41 percent
of respondents did not know that
their department used volunteers
and 79 percent did not know their
department was looking for more
volunteers.
An Answer
Volunteering in the fire service
provides a unique way for people
to give back to the community
while developing skills and
experience that can contribute
greatly to many aspects of their
personal and professional life.
It also provides camaraderie, a
sense of purpose, and community
impact to those who serve in this
extraordinary way.
New recruits .are trained by
the department. Skills to learn
vary based on the departmentOs
response requirements, but
training may cover a wide array
of emergency situations such
as fires, emergency medical
incidents, terrorist events,
natural disasters, hazardous
materials incidents and other
public service calls. Certain
departments may have specific
requirements, such as a high
school degree, a physical and a
background check, but when it
comes down to it, volunteering
The Julian News 3
Autumn Skies Include Brilliant
Star Clusters, A Meteor Shower
And Other Treats
by Bill Carter
I discovered that I have nearly always discussed the Double Cluster
in the Fall of previous years. Even so, the Double Cluster is one of
the binocular highlights in any season and not to be missed so I will
discuss it again. The two star clusters known as the Double Cluster
(designated NGC 869 and NGC 884 in star catalogs) are located
halfway between the W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia (located
just north of the zenith in the early evenings of November) and the
two strings of the necklace-shaped constellation Perseus (located
just east of Cassiopeia). Both young star clusters are about 7000
light years from Earth, both clusters contain several thousand stars
(though NGC 869 is a bit larger than NGC 884) and together they are
an impressive sight in any pair of binoculars.
Let's now turn our binoculars to a nearby cluster rising directly in
the east in the constellation Taurus (the Bull). The Hyades cluster is
famously the subject of a cave painting in Lascaux, France. Look for
the rather large V-shaped pattern of stars with the bright, red-orange
star Aldebaran, the angry eye of Taurus the Bull, at one end.
Now sweep up the arms of the Andromeda constellation to their
beginning at the corner of the square-shaped constellation, The
Great Square of Pegasus (the Winged Horse). Count down two stars
in the lower arm of Andromeda (the eastern arm) and look just below
it and you will see a large but dim galaxy, M33 the Pinwheel Galaxy,
which is a member of our Local Group of galaxies.
M33 -- The Pinwheel Galaxy
This galaxy is about ½ the size of our own Milky Way galaxy and
many observers report thatthey can see it without optical aid (i,e.,
naked-eye). It will appear as a distinct oval glow with a bright center.
Since we are still close to the constellation Pegasus, you may sweep
westward to the end of the longest arm stretching out to the west
from the Great Square itself to the very bright star Enif. About 4
degrees (or ½ the width of your clenched fist held at arm's length) to
the northwest is the globular cluster M15 (the Great Pegasus Cluster).
Globular clusters orbit the center of our galaxy in its halo in highly
elliptical and inclined orbits. Globular clusters may be, in fact, the
cores of smaller galaxies absorbed by our Milky Way galaxy billions
of years ago. M15 may contain about one million stars.
The Leonid meteor shower will peak on November 17th in the early
morning hours (around 3 a.m. local time). The meteors will appear to
radiate from the east and specifically from the Sickle asterism (or the
reverse Question Mark) in the constellation Leo. This shower is only
one day from the New Moon so the night sky should be dark.
The two brightest planets, Venus and Jupi{er, appear in the morning
skies in November. On the morning of November 13th about 30
minutes before sunrise in the east-southeast, these two planets will
meet (this is known as a conjunction) and be only 0.3 degrees apart.
Mercury and Saturn will appear in the evening skies in November.
Mercury will appear after mid-November only 5 degrees above the
horizon in the southwest about a half-hour after sunset. Saturn will
pass very close to Mercury in the evenings of November 23rd to the
27th about 30 minutes after sunset in the southwest.

night skies, go to the "Sky This Month" section of the website http://

The Julian Dark Sky Network, the Curiosity Peak Observatory in
Julian and the San Diego County Parks and Recreation Department
will host a star party at William Heise Park in Julian on November
25th. For details, please see the Events Calendar for 11/25/2017 at:
