๐ The Catalyst
๐ 8:00 PM ยท FREE
Formed in San Jose in 1990, Sleep just might be the best American doom metal band of all time. After all, this three-piece wrote one of the most epic songs ever, the 63-minute marijuana-fueled opus, โDopesmoker.โ Even more epic is the legend behind the song, with the band using all the money the label gave them for an album on weed and returning with one long song. However, the band has recently run into some controversy as the bassist, Al Cisneros, is currently the only original member. But fear not weedians, because Uncle Al is still headed to the smoke-filled lands with Dale Crover (Melvins) on drums and Bubba Dupree (Void) on guitar. -Mat Weir; Good Times Santa Cruz

Host: Natalia Ocampo-Peรฑuela Speaker #1: Hannah Waterhouse Title: Building Cover Cropping Communities of Practice on Californiaโs Central Coast Abstract: Californiaโs agricultural communities face the dual challenges of increasingly variable and limited irrigation water supplies, alongside persistent groundwater quality degradation from nitrate leaching that has imperiled drinking water for nearly one million residents of rural communities in the state. These challenges come together most acutely in Californiaโs Central Coast region, the โSalad Bowlโ of the U.S., where intensive, high-value vegetable and berry production dominates. The benefits provided by adding winter cover crops to these annual cropping systems are considered essential to improving groundwater quality, but perceptions among farmers and policymakers that cover crops consume too much water make a formidable barrier to adoption in this Mediterranean climate. Indeed, less than 5% of cropland on the Central Coast is cover cropped, with the majority left fallow over the winter season to devastating effects including erosion and loss of fertility, pollution of surface and groundwater, and flooded fields which can delay agronomic operations. In this research we address the question of how farmers in Mediterranean, semi-arid climatic regions can implement cover cropping in a water scarce environment while meeting water quality regulatory goals. Through both controlled trials and on-farm, participatory research, we aim to determine how different cover crop management practices affect the balance between water regulation and provisioning and water quality protection, as well as the supply of nitrogen (N) for cash crops. We have formed a

To mark the opening of Carlos Motta: When Time Stands Still, a poetic and aesthetically rich exploration of the historical and aesthetic manifestations of difference and marginalization that inform current anti-immigration politics and climate injustices, we invite you to a seated performance from 5-6 pm by internationally renowned vocal artist and composer Samita Sinha. For the performance, an embodied response to Mottaโs evocative artworks, Sinha will draw in her Indian vocal training to create a multivalent and experiential language of vibration, offering a challenge, both beautiful and expansive, to the perceptual frameworks that normalize oppression. Following the performance, from 6-8 pm, will be a celebration for the opening of Victor โMarka27โ Quiรฑonez: Ni de Aquรญ, Ni de Allรก (Not From Here, Not From There), a multimedia exhibition with paintings, sculpture, and installation exploring issues of migration and belongingโ and which gained national attention after it was abruptly censored by the University of North Texas. These opening events are free and open to the public. Samita Sinhaโs performances and compositions have been commissioned by Asia Society, Performance Space, Danspace, Rubin Museum, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Queens Museum, Gibney Dance, and Western Front, and presented by The Kitchen, Wexner Center for the Arts, REDCAT, PICA, National Sawdust and others.

From one perspective, Twin Temple (Alexandra and Zachary James) is a classic rock โnโ roll duo with a sound inspired by the formโs early stars. But from another perspective, the L.A. duo, who launched in 2017, is as provocative as Marilyn Manson or Ghost. The coupleโs open practice of Satanism has earned them as much attention as have their four albums (one titled God is Dead). The band had been touring as the opener for Charley Crockett, but in July the country star booted Twin Temple from the bill, saying, โI thought they were like Black Sabbath, but they ainโt. Not today, Satan.โ -Bill Kopp; Good Times Santa Cruz

Carlos Mottaโs When Time Stands Still features new and recent installations, videos, and sculptures highlighting the artistโs preoccupation with the historical and aesthetic productions of difference and marginalization that shape the present. The selection of artworks in the exhibition explore the unsettling experience of living in a time that seems violently stuck on repeat. Archetypal figures from art history (a fool, a siren, a witness, a victim) reappear in the current moment as containers of time, bringing the past of imperialism, colonization, and displacement into a present marked by the rise of anti-immigration politics, climate injustice, and other forms of disposability. Some works challenge this violent repetition of time. The clock moves, if gruelingly, in an endurance-based video performance, No One, 2025. For forty-six minutes, the artist undertakes to keep his eyes open, witnessing, withstanding, confronting, and resisting the bombardment of images, both historical and otherwise, that normalize harm. In another video work, Gravity, 2024, performers enact rescue carries, supporting each other until they canโt bear the weight. Together, the artworks act as a proposal about how to rethink timeโhow to slow timeโwith a poetic and aesthetic cadence that might counter the numbing reverberations of living in the present. When Time Stands Still is organized as part of Visualizing Abolition, an arts-based initiative that reaches across prison borders to create a future free of prisons. About the Artist Carlos Motta (b. 1978, Colombia) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice documents the social conditions and political struggles of sexual, gender, and ethnic communities, challenging normative discourses through acts of self-representation. His work has been the focus of several survey exhibitions.

Many visitors spend hours at the market, filling their bags with berries, chicories and bagels โ then moving onto a unique meal from one of the accomplished cooks that sell at the market. Sunday brunch offerings include traditional Michoacan Mexican dishes, gyoza, savory and sweet crepes and farm-driven meals that spotlight the harvest in clean, creative and bright arrangements.

Surfrider Foundation Santa Cruz is inviting community members to join its Fundraising Beach Cleanup-a-Thon at Rio Del Mar State Beach on Sunday, October 4, from 9:00 to 11:00 AM. The event will bring volunteers together to remove trash from the beach while raising funds to support Surfrider Santa Cruzโs local programs and free community cleanups. The concept is simple: participants sign up for the cleanup and ask friends, family, and coworkers to pledge donations based on the total amount of trash collected. After the cleanup, Surfrider volunteers will weigh the collective total of trash removed, and participating sponsors will make donations based on the Chapter-wide total. Supporters can also set a cap on their donation amount (for example, no more than $50). โEvery piece of trash we remove makes a difference, but when our community comes together, we can make an even bigger impact,โ said Darcie Connell, Co-Chair and Volunteer Coordinator of Surfrider Santa Cruz. โThis event gives people a fun way to get involved while helping fund the programs that keep our beaches clean and protect our local coastline.โ Surfrider Santa Cruz is a 100% volunteer-run Chapter. Funds raised through the Cleanup-a-Thon will support local programs including beach cleanups, Blue Water Task Force water quality testing, and other efforts to protect the Santa Cruz coastline. Participants are encouraged to invite friends, family, and coworkers to support the event by making pledges through the Chapterโs fundraising form. The more trash the community removes collectively, the greater the potential impact.

Host: Elliott Campbell Speaker: Siyu Luo, UC Santa Cruz, ENVS Title: Exit Talk: Geospatial Optimization of Californiaโs Organic Waste Diversion System: Transportation, Compliance, and Infrastructure Planning Abstract: Organic waste decomposition in landfills is a major source of anthropogenic methane, a greenhouse gas with approximately 86 times the warming effect of carbon dioxide over 20 years. Californiaโs Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) requires a 75% reduction in organic waste disposal relative to 2014 levels, creating substantial infrastructure and logistical challenges. This dissertation develops statewide geospatial optimization frameworks linking 447 waste generating jurisdictions, approximately 200 composting facilities, agricultural working lands, and transportation networks. I examine the spatial alignment of waste generation, processing capacity, and cropland demand; the effects of alternative compliance structures on costs and greenhouse gas emissions; and the siting of additional composting infrastructure under economic, logistical, and regulatory constraints. Results show that strong spatial differences in waste generation, processing capacity, transportation, and compost end use shape system performance and regional burdens. Statewide coordination can reduce costs and emissions by shifting diversion toward lower cost locations, while jurisdiction level compliance promotes broader participation. Substantial additional processing capacity is still required, and siting is constrained by transportation, water and air quality regulation, and limited VOC Emission Reduction Credit availability. Overall, effective diversion requires coordinated planning of infrastructure, compliance, end use

The Travelling Book Club welcomes local author Nina Simon to discuss her newest book, My Sister is Going to Kill Me. Join us for a fun afternoon with local author Nina Simon. Copies of Nina's book will be available for purchase and signing. Light refreshments will be provided. Registration is strongly recommended. Register at https://santacruzpl.libnet.info/event/17198593. My Sister is Going to Kill Me is a fun, family-centered whodunnit about two sisters who work together to find a killer as they raft down the rapids of the Grand Canyon. Nina Simon writes crime fiction about strong women. She is the New York Times-bestselling author of Mother-Daughter Murder Night. This big-hearted whodunnit was a Reese's Book Club pick, an Anthony Award winner, and a "best of 2023" selection for Amazon, Barnes & Noble, CrimeReads, and LibraryJournal. Before turning to fiction, Nina wore many hats: NASA engineer, slam poet, game designer, museum director, and nonprofit CEO. Her work on community participation in museums, libraries, parks, and theaters has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, NPR, and the TEDx stage. Nina lives off-the-grid in the Santa Cruz Mountains and enjoys weird adventures in wild places. More information can be found on her website, ninaksimon.com.

The Felton Farmersโ Market is a treasured weekly gathering May through October, now running for over 30 years. We appreciate the dedicated customers who call this market a second home. Your support of regional agriculture and small, local businesses makes a difference. The Felton Farmersโ Market was started in 1987 and is the second oldest market in Santa Cruz County. SCCFM took over operations in 2009 and our team has developed deep ties to the community. Every Tuesday a quality collection of regional farms and food businesses throw up their tents to sell a colorful array of fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, eggs, artisanal bread, seafood and other staple foods. Connecting residents directly with local farms, the Felton Market is an essential part of the regional food system as well as a resource for nutritious organic foods and basic agricultural education.
