Sparkling Cider, Martinelli’s Gold Medal, Watsonville
Just 16 years after the state of California was founded, the city of Watsonville in southern Santa Cruz County was created — and so was a certain apple cider brand. In 1868, a Swiss immigrant named Stephen Martinelli started fermenting apples into cider at his brother’s farm in the agricultural community, and S. Martinelli & Company was born. Today, the fourth generation runs Martinelli’s, a name that is so synonymous with the genre that many people simply refer to any sparkling cider as “Martinelli’s.”

University of California academic workers strike to stand up for pro-Palestinian protesters
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Graduate students at the University of California, Santa Cruz walked off their jobs and went on strike Monday, the first campus to do so as part of a systemwide protest against a public university they say has violated the speech rights of pro-Palestinian advocates. United Auto Workers Local 4811 represents 48,000 graduate students who work as teaching assistants, tutors, researchers and other academic employees on the 10-campus UC system. Organizers said the campuses will not strike all at once, opting instead for rolling strikes, to protest the arrests and forcible ejection by police of union members who participated in demonstrations calling for an end to the war in Gaza. Rebecca Gross, a UC Santa Cruz graduate student in literature and union leader, said at least 1,500 people were on strike Monday and had no plans to return to work until the union reaches a deal with the university. Students and researchers are not teaching, grading or working in their labs, and they are withholding data, she said. “Police were unleashed and given the go-ahead to arrest protesters,” at the Los Angeles, San Diego and Irvine campuses, she said.
