Mellano & Company, a family-owned San Diego-based flower farm, is excited to announce their participation in the annual Petal it Forward campaign in downtown Oceanside on Wednesday, Oct. 19 at 10 a.m. The company will be at the Civic Center, 300 N. Coast Hwy., with a flower cart handing out 1,200 free, fresh-cut flowers to the community. “We are excited to connect with Oceanside residents and make their day a little brighter,” Mellano & Company President Mike A. Mellano said. “Flowers have the ability to make people smile, and the opportunity to make someone’s day just a little bit better with our flowers is something we do not take lightly and are extremely excited about. It’s time to help spread love and kindness, something our company is all about.” Mellano & Company will participate in the eighth Petal It Forward, a campaign started by the Society of American Florists to bring awareness to the health benefits of receiving and giving flowers. Representatives from the farm will be in downtown Oceanside on October 19 handing out flowers from the company’s local, Southern California farm to residents walking the downtown area. Petal It Forward is a nationwide campaign encouraging local florists to hand two flowers or bouquets to an unsuspecting stranger, urging them to keep one and share the other with someone else. Started by the Society of American Florists, the day is an example of the industry coming together for a common goal of spreading love and kindness throughout local communities. Mellano & Company is proud to do their part in bringing this national campaign to Oceanside. For more information on Mellano & Company, visit mellano.com.

From San Diego weekend arts events (KPBS feature): Friday night, catch a screening of Marvel's 2018 movie "Black Panther" at The Shell, with the San Diego Symphony performing Ludwig Göransson’s incredible score live. Featured in the performance is the Senegal-based musician Massamba Diop, who performs on the "talking drum," or dùndún, which was used in the soundtrack to underscore the actions of T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman). Diop himself can be heard in the actual soundtrack, and will be joining the San Diego Symphony for this performance. The instrument, generally a hourglass, tension drum with a head on each side, is known as the talking drum for a reason: it truly can mimic the speech patterns of the Yorùbá language and is used by Yorùbá drummers to share poetry, prayers or announcements. Here's a segment about Massamba Diop from WBUR's Here & Now program from 2018. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the organizers: Anthony Parnther, conductor Massamba Diop, talking drum soloist San Diego Symphony Orchestra In 2018 Marvel Studios’ Black Panther quickly became a global sensation and cultural phenomenon, showing a new dimension of what Super Hero films could be.

But what sneaks up and floors you is the film’s racial conscience and profound, astonishing beauty.” Now you can relive the excitement of T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) becoming king and battling Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) all while the San Diego Symphony Orchestra performs Ludwig Göransson’s Oscar®-winning score live to picture.
