Event Schedule

10:00 am – Opening Ceremony
Time to get started. We kick off the event by honoring everyone who’s been affected by cancer and everyone who has contributed to the success of this year’s Relay season.
Survivor/Caregiver Walk
Survivors and Caregivers are the heart and soul of Relay For Life events. We honor their strength and courage with every step they take. It doesn’t matter if you were diagnosed 10 days ago or 10 years ago, you can walk while everyone gathers together to cheer you on.
5:00 pm – Fight Back Ceremony
Our Fight Back Ceremony is the time to commit to take action and help lead the fight for a world free from cancer. It’s a time to celebrate what we’ve accomplished together and a time to unify for the work that needs to be done moving forward.
8:00 pm – Luminaria Ceremony
During this ceremony we represent everyone touched by cancer with a Luminaria. Each light represents a life—a life taken by cancer, a survivor of cancer, or a support for a person still fighting the disease. It’s a powerful demonstration that gives people the opportunity to grieve but also offers comfort and hope.

Tonight’s Topic
California Sea Lions: how many are there and what do they eat (with notes on other pinnipeds) will be presented by Mark Lowry.
California sea lions are the most numerous pinniped species in California. Since 1975, the population in the U.S. grew at an average annual rate of 7% and went from 89,000 animals in 1975 to 257,000 in 2014 with a peak of 306,000 in 2012. Sea lions at the Channel Islands in southern California foraged on northern anchovy, market squid, Pacific hake, Pacific mackerel, Pacific sardine, shortbelly rockfish, and Pacific mackerel; as well as an assortment of other fish and cephalopods. California sea lion diet shifted from an anchovy-based diet in the 1980s to a market squid based-diet in the 1990s and 2000s, with other prey-taxon taking their place when consumption of those two prey-taxon diminished. Prey taxa represented epipelagic species, epipelagic-mesopelagic species, and benthic-demersal species. Also, the northern elephant seal population continued to grow since it was nearly extirpated in the 19thand 20thcenturies, and the Pacific harbor seal population grew initially but currently appears to be stabilizing.

soundpedro-Angels Gate Cultural Center
2019-06-01 18:00 - 22:00 | Angels Gate Cultural Center, 3601 S. Gaffey St, San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
For two years now, Angels Gate Cultural Center has hosted soundpedro. Produced by the artist group FLOOD, this signature event, featuring single and multi-media sound artists, is gaining momentum. Preparations are underway for soundpedro 2019 scheduled for June 1, from 6pm to 10pm.
Angels Gate Cultural Center is located on Native American land atop a rugged bluff overlooking the Port of Los Angeles, Catalina Island, and the Pacific Ocean. During the 1940s this ten-acre hilltop site was part of the Fort MacArthur military base. It is now a thriving sanctuary for the arts. The artists of soundpedro activate, in surprising ways, this unique site–both indoors and out.
Unlike music, sound art is the aural equivalent of cinema, painting, theater, sculpture, and literature. “Sound art” as a term was first coined in 1982. Since then artists have taken the genre in a variety of directions. Reframing the act of listening, sound works and performances explore the progression of sound from hearing to experience.
This year’s event will add greater conceptual breadth to soundpedro by moving beyond sound to “ear orientation”. On October 1, 2018, an international call for submissions was issued requesting silent videos that explore and synthesize ideas and images responding to aurality. The general call for soundpedro was issued in December, 2018. Please see soundpedro.org for details of both soundpedro and Earmagination.
The deadline for submissions for both calls is February 14th.
