Festival de octubre en Baja California: Screening of the documentary "Fandango at the Wall" Festival de octubre concludes its October festivities with the screening of "Fandango at the Wall" (2020), a documentary that takes you along Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra founder/conductor Arturo O'Farrill’s journey through the remotest regions of Veracruz, México in search of musicians. This is where he is met with the masters of 300 year-old folkloric music: san jarocho. The film documents how he and his orchestra join these masters for a son jarocho music and dance festival called ‘Fandango Fronterizo,’ founded by Jorge Francisco Castillo. The two groups combine their musical talent, using elements of division at the U.S./ México border to create unity during Fandango at the Wall, a festival that takes place annually and happens simultaneously on both sides of the border. The event resulted in two recorded albums, one of which received a Grammy-award, a book was also written, and they filmed this HBO max documentary. Fandango is a party where everyone joins the show. This is the spirit that brought this project together and the reason for which we extend our invitation for you to join us as we screen this documentary and have the opportunity to hear from its creators and seal the presentation with a “palomazo,” commonly used to reference a spontaneous musical performance, by some of the film’s musicians. ¡No te pierdas este increíble evento en persona! Únete a nosotros en UC San Diego Park & Market para disfrutar de una proyección especial del documental "Fandango at the Wall." Sumérgete en la rica cultura de Baja California y descubre la belleza del fandango, una tradición musical mexicana. October 16 @ 7 - 9 p.m. UC San Diego Park & Market Guggenheim Theatre

This webinar will address mid-scale composting for farms and ranches with moderate quantities of organic materials including manure, crop residue, and food scraps. Improper disposal of organic waste can lead to pest problems, create health issues for livestock, and contaminate local water sources. Adding compost to your soil conserves water, mitigates erosion, sequesters carbon, and can help your plants thrive. For Healthy Soils Program awardees, making your own compost allows for better on-site nutrient cycling and a finished product tailored to your needs. What is an Aerated Static Pile (ASP)? ASPs offer a simple and cost-effective method for composting organic materials. These contained systems force air through the compost pile, encouraging rapid decomposition without laborious turning while achieving temperatures needed for safe, weed-free compost. The system we will discuss is perfect for a small amount of livestock (for instance, one to ten horses) and small- to medium-sized farms or orchards. Come join us as we virtually visit Solana Center’s site in Encinitas and other successful examples of ASP composting throughout the San Diego region. We’ll discuss how Solana Center has integrated ASP systems into our community composting program to enable safe and efficient composting of food waste from over 100 local households into a high-quality soil amendment. This webinar will be held using Zoom, so please note that you will need to have the Zoom application installed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) to attend and participate. You will receive an email with the link and password to join upon registering. The webinar will be recorded, and the recording will be shared with attendees in a follow-up email and made available continuously on Solana Center’s Healthy Soils Program page. In this webinar, we will cover: - The benefits of composting manure and other on-farm materials - Using ASPs to minimize labor without costly equipment - System selection, feedstocks, and preparations - Managing pest and smell concerns with neighbors - Ensuring compliance with San Diego County ordinances and/or Healthy Soils Program requirements Made possible through generous funding by County of San Diego, California Department of Food and Agriculture and California Climate Investments.
