The system will be used to warn residents, visitors, and those passing through of an imminent need to evacuate. The system will add an additional layer of emergency notification redundancy when our area experiences power and internet connnectivity outages.

Monthly testing will occur on the 1st Saturday of every month at 11 am beginning with this October 7 test run in recognition of National Fire Prevention Month.

The purpose of monthly testing is to ensure that the siren is functioning effectively and to increase awareness of the importance of personal emergency preparedness.

Siren testing will sound for one (1) minute with a wailing tone (high to low tones). That will conclude the test.

Leadership Santa Cruz County (LSCC) is pleased to announce a special event with notable local historian Sandy Lydon.

Lydon has been wandering the corridors of the county for the past 50 years and will provide historical perspectives to help people navigate living in Santa Cruz County in 2023 and beyond. In one of his trademarked, arm-waving, illustrated talks, he will attempt to resolve some of the Big Puzzlements for newcomers and long-timers alike that makes our county what it is. What is Calamity Cruz? Why do we call it South County when it’s not? These are just a couple of the questions Lydon will provide insight and historical perspective into.

Described by many as Central California’s pre-eminent “standup historian,” Lydon is an award-winning author, teacher and historian, as well as a retired faculty member from Cabrillo College where he taught from 1968 to 2022. He is a leading expert on Santa Cruz County history and has researched and written widely on the rich immigration history of the Monterey Bay Region.

ALO is a lot of things. Put simply, it’s a rock band, a family, an artistic outlet, a community, a business. But that only scratches the surface of this 3O-year musical vision-quest. ALO is an adventure, it’s a Spring break road trip to Colorado, it’s an all-night drive from Salt Lake City to San Jose. It’s the comfort of hanging out with life-long friends, of relaxing on a couch and finding treasures hidden in its cushions. It’s a coffee table full of amazing books on art, philosophy and music. It feels old and new, fresh and classic. It holds tension and dreams and possibility in its folds. It hopes to unveil something magical, something unheard of, something the world needs. It smells of super burritos and vans full of lemons, old bongs and epic hikes. It’s a sound of growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s a sound of northern California, with sprinkles of Santa Barbara and Augusta, Georgia. It was born of childhood friendships, of shared destinies, of inside jokes and of a desire to make people happy. It’s not for everyone, although it tries to be. It wants you to love and share in its vision. It’s long and meandering, then suddenly sharp, abrupt! It’s feral and clever, and it means you no harm. It’s love and freedom, collected and catalogued, then released back into the wilds from whence it came, over and over again. It’s an orchestrated liberation of our animal soul.
