Swimmer still missing after two jump from cliff in Santa Cruz by Michael Tellez (FOX26) — One person is still missing in Santa Cruz after two people jumped from a cliff Sunday afternoon Santa Cruz Fire Department says the first water rescue call came in around 4:45 p.m Callers said two people had jumped from a cliff and struggling to get back to shore Authorities arrived at 701 West Cliff Drive to begin a water rescue Witnesses told crews that one swimmer was able to get himself to safety An extensive search was launched for the missing swimmer involving additional resources from Scotts Valley and the Central Fire District of Santa Cruz County Marine Rescue Captain 3108 and off-duty lifeguards also joined the effort Specialized search patterns and drone operations were conducted in the area where the swimmer was last seen the search from shore-based resources was concluded Coast Guard units continued to search the area using both aircraft and a vessel The Santa Cruz City Fire Department and allied agencies reminded the public to exercise extreme caution around the edges of West Cliff and to always be aware of ocean conditions While the passengers suffered only minor injuries the driver may be looking at a massive financial setback as excessive speed appears to have been a factor in the totaling of a $400,000 Lamborghini Sunday near Santa Cruz Santa Cruz’s State Route 9 is a pleasant little two-lane highway with a mostly 35 MPH speed limit. But locals have lately been complaining of reckless driving on that highway, and there have been calls to lower that speed limit A Sunday afternoon incident helps explain why KRON4 reports that some driver flipped a Lamborghini on State Route 9 just north of Santa Cruz The passengers of the single-car wreck escaped with just minor injuries and California Highway Patrol officers were able to push the car off the road to prevent any subsequent collisions California Highway Patrol also took to Facebook saying Hwy 9 is not a racetrack.” That message seems to indicate that the driver’s speed was a factor in the crash Officers responded to the crash at around 12:14 pm Sunday afternoon The Highway Patrol describes the vehicle merely as a “2023 Lamborghini,” though KRON4 identifies the model as a Huracán STO. That station points out that this model and make has an average sale price of $402,936 Related: Suspected DUI Driver In Marin County Drives Ferrari Right Into Richardson Bay [SFist] Image: CHP - Santa Cruz via Facebook Over 100 volunteers have logged over 3,000 miles in the last four days searching for 79-year-old Elaine McKinley who went missing from her hiking group in Portola Valley on Thursday Get the latest posts delivered right to your inbox editor / reporter who has been published in almost every San Francisco publication Get all the latest & greatest posts delivered straight to your inbox News California sea lion Ronan at UC Santa Cruz’s Long Marine Laboratory (Photo by Colleen Reichmuth; NOAA/NMFS 23554) which looks at whether different species are capable of  behaving in ways that show they recognize aspects of music remains a tantalizing field at the intersection of biology and psychology the highly trained California sea lion at UC Santa Cruz who achieved global fame for her ability to bob her head to a beat is finally back: starring in a new study that shows her rhythm is just as precise—if not better—than humans Ronan first shimmied onto the world stage in 2013, when researchers at the university’s Long Marine Laboratory reported that, not only could she bob her head to a beat, but adjust her nods to tempos and music she hadn’t heard before. In this new study published on May 1 in the Nature journal Scientific Reports Ronan’s research team showed that her synchronization was as good or better than humans—and that her consistency in performing the beat-keeping task was better than that of humans To best match Ronan’s way of responding to a beat researchers asked 10 UC Santa Cruz undergraduates to move their preferred arm in a fluid up-and-down motion to the beat of a percussive metronome and 128 beats per minute—with Ronan not previously exposed to 112 and 128 bpms At 120 bpm, Ronan’s most practiced tempo, she on average hits within 15 milliseconds of the beat, according to the new study’s lead author, Peter Cook, a longtime researcher with UC Santa Cruz’s Institute of Marine Sciences Ronan’s variability in timing beat-to-beat is also around 15 milliseconds the blink of a human eye takes about 150 milliseconds with variability of only about a tenth of an eyeblink from cycle to cycle,” said Cook also a comparative neuroscientist at the New College of Florida she might hit the beat five milliseconds early sometimes she might hit it 10 milliseconds late But she’s basically hitting the rhythmic bullseye over and over and over again.” The researchers emphasize that Ronan is in complete control of her participation She is not deprived of food nor punished for choosing not to engage and her training structure reflects this autonomy: She begins each session by climbing onto a designated ramp station where she relaxes while waiting for the experiment to begin she positions herself and signals her readiness to start she is free to return to her pool without any negative consequences Ronan was born in the wild in 2008, but stranded repeatedly due to malnutrition. After three such strandings, and being spotted walking down Highway 1 in 2009, regulatory agencies finally deemed her to be non-releasable. So UC Santa Cruz adopted her in 2010 and she became a permanent member of the Pinniped Lab led by UC Santa Cruz research scientist and adjunct professor Colleen Reichmuth uses cooperative training methods to study behavior and physiology in marine mammals participate in a wide range of projects that help teams explore their amphibious subjects’ inner worlds Examples include studies on learning and memory Ronan isn’t just working on her rhythm everyday in the lab she has participated in about 2,000 rhythm exercises—each lasting just 10 to 15 seconds years went by between these sessions while she focused on other areas of research “She definitely wasn’t overtrained,” Cook said if you added up the amount of rhythmic exposure Ronan has had since she’s been with us it is probably dwarfed by what a typical 1 year old kid has heard.” “One of the most important outcomes of the study is the fact that maturation and experience matter.” Ronan’s original rhythm study was inspired by work by Ani Patel, at Tufts University, along with colleagues who studied intermittent beat keeping in Snowball, a pet cockatoo who spontaneously “danced” to the Backstreet Boys Because humans and cockatoos are both vocal mimics the parrot work led to a theory that brain changes to support vocal learning were required for moving in time to music Sea lions haven’t shown the ability to learn new vocalizations, so Ronan’s 2013 study made a huge splash because it challenged the vocal-learning theory of rhythm some prominent theorists in biomusicality claimed that her performance was not as precise and reliable as human performance They suggested that Ronan might not be doing exactly what humans were she could not rely on the same biological mechanisms for perceiving and moving in time to rhythm That prompted Cook and Reichmuth to test Ronan again to see if she had improved and to compare her performance to people performing a similar task with the same sounds is that Ronan was more precise and consistent at every tempo they tested And in a head-to-head battle of the beats with the UC Santa Cruz students The study’s authors then used the students’ performance to model the theoretical performance of 10,000 humans conducting the same rhythmic behavior.  Ronan was in the 99th percentile for beat-keeping reliability the team says Ronan is “grown up and in her prime” for a female sea lion in managed care the researchers have become extremely attuned to Ronan “One of the most important outcomes of the study is the fact that maturation and experience matter,” Reichmuth said “ It’s not just a test of rhythmic performance It reflects her cognitive behavior and her ability to remember and refine it over time.” Another thing: Ronan also wants to perform well it’s a game she knows how to win,” Reichmuth said “and she likes the fish that come with it.” Ronan’s research progression has had far-reaching impacts in the scientific community contributing to a growing body of work in comparative cognition Her journey from an eager and curious orphaned sea lion to a key figure in rhythm-perception studies has exceeded all expectations Her abilities challenge existing paradigms about which species can perceive and produce rhythm opening new doors for research on the cognitive capacities of animals The team’s 2013 paper inspired follow-up studies across various species As UC Santa Cruz researchers continue to analyze and share findings they remain committed to fostering a broader understanding of rhythm perception across species—and Ronan’s recent work will further that goal.  Ronan’s story is not just about one sea lion A question Cook says he often hears is why can’t dogs dance Our canine companions are frequently exposed to music they don’t seem to respond with rhythmic movements like Ronan Cook responds by asking his own question: How many people try to train their dog to dance in an explicit rhythm-based way “If you’re going to say dogs can’t dance you have to empirically assess that—really give the dog many opportunities to receive very precise feedback on rhythmic movement and see how they do,” Cook said “I would be very surprised if you couldn’t get a border collie to do something like what Ronan does if you spend enough time on it.” But this isn’t about teaching animals a cool party trick for fun What Cook and researchers like him around the globe seek to better understand are the evolution of cognition and the intricate ways in which brains—both human and non-human—process the world around them “Ronan’s new study highlights the importance of experience and really fine-grained training in a controlled laboratory setting to assess these questions,” Cook concludes Other co-authors of the paper include researchers Carson Hood

Print A new so-called “soda tax” that was approved by voters in the city of Santa Cruz went into effect on Thursday the first tax of its kind to be passed in California since a ban was signed by former Gov The tax — approved by voters in November — adds a 2-cents-per-ounce tax on nonalcoholic beverages that have one or more caloric added sweeteners and that have 40 or more calories per 12 fluid ounces of beverage already have a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages on the books with Berkeley being the first city in the country to do so But Santa Cruz is the first one to institute a new one since legislators and business leaders struck a deal that was signed by the previous governor that prohibited local governments from imposing taxes on soda until 2031 Santa Cruz City Councilmember Shebreh Kalantari-Johnson who was one of the proponents of the soda tax told Lookout Santa Cruz after the measure passed in November that the campaign was framed as a battle between Santa Cruz and the American Beverage Assn that this was big industry trying to manipulate and strong-arm local voters,” Kalantari-Johnson told the publication “We won’t let big industry decide for us.” Santa Cruz’s sugary drink tax doesn’t apply to beverages intended for medical use beverages that continue less than 40 calories per 12 fluid ounces of drink supplemental or meal replacement beverages sweetened medication (such as cough syrup) and alcoholic beverages “Santa Cruz demonstrates that when presented with the facts about the dangers of sugary drinks voters see through the soda industry’s multi-million-dollar efforts to deceive them with misinformation,” Nancy Brown chief executive of the American Heart Assn. “The American Heart Association was proud to support the ballot measure and remains committed to the city of Santa Cruz in this years-long David vs Goliath effort against the beverage industry.” a spokesperson for the American Beverage Assn “Santa Cruz is implementing a tax that violates a popular statewide ban on grocery taxes and that was opposed by a broad coalition of small businesses and social justice organizations as an unfair burden on working families already struggling with record-high prices,” he wrote in an email The American Beverage Assn. has also launched a campaign called “Your Cart Your Choice.” “The price increases from a tax hurt lower-income communities and people who work paycheck to paycheck the most,” according to the campaign’s website. “More taxes are the last thing working families need right now amid crippling inflation, supply chain issues and the price of gas making everyday items more expensive already.” Hollywood Inc.

time in a newly updated vehicle of any type; however getting into the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited a compact pickup that blurs the lines between SUV comfort and truck utility From running daily errands around Utah Valley to a couple of road trips up north this stylish utility vehicle proved itself to be more than just a pretty face With a number of updates for the 2025 model year the Santa Cruz has become even more refined Hyundai has given the Santa Cruz a refresh for 2025 that has brought it in line with the brand’s latest design language The front fascia now features a more aggressive grille flanked by updated LED headlights that seamlessly integrated into the bodywork bolder color options and a tweaked tailgate completed the exterior makeover Our Limited trim tester came finished in a nice Rockwood Green with black accents the biggest upgrade came in the form of the dual 12.3-inch panoramic digital displays that stretched across the dashboard — a setup lifted directly from Hyundai’s upscale IONIQ models These high-resolution screens handled everything from gauges to infotainment and the new touchscreen interface was sleek Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard across all trims for 2025 a very welcome addition for those like us who live by our smartphones Other new features included improved seat materials more sound insulation for a quieter ride and a new gear selector that freed up space in the center console The cabin felt more luxurious than our last encounter with the Santa Cruz Our week started off with regular daily driving to and from our work places and the Santa Cruz proved to be very adept in the city Its compact size (compared to traditional pickups) made it easy to maneuver through traffic and parking lots yet it still offered an elevated driving position and the cargo flexibility of a small truck Our Limited trim test ride came with a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive With 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque it had no problem getting up to speed on the freeway or merging with confidence The turbo engine’s power delivery was very smooth and quite strong and the transmission shifted quickly and cleanly Whether we were running errands in Provo or heading out to Spanish Fork for lunch Ride comfort proved to be another highlight Hyundai’s engineers had done a fantastic job tuning the suspension to soak up bumps without feeling floaty The Santa Cruz rode like an SUV but offered the practical benefits of a 4-foot open truck bed complete with a lockable tonneau cover and an in-bed trunk with drain plug — perfect for hauling gear or even for use as an ice box for tailgating Road trip to Ogden with the Standard-Examiner Craig headed north to the Ogden Standard-Examiner office this time to take new managing editor Jared Lloyd up for his first day in his new role he was able to show off the Santa Cruz’s tech and comfort features especially as the sun broke through the early spring clouds on in the afternoon They also made good use of the onboard navigation system which now included real-time traffic data and Google POI integration for 2025 The premium Bose sound system kept the conversation flowing with good tunes in the background and Jared was impressed with the refined and quiet cabin the Santa Cruz parked easily thanks to the surround-view camera system which gives a 360-degree top-down view of the vehicle but it’s packed with features usually found in luxury SUVs Hyundai continued to impress us with its suite of safety features and the Santa Cruz Limited offered the full package new enhancements included Intersection Collision Assist and Driver Attention Warning 2.0 These join existing systems like forward collision avoidance rear cross-traffic alert and safe exit assist we had several times on the road where the blind-spot view monitor (which shows a live camera feed in the digital cluster) was incredibly useful when changing lanes on the freeway The Santa Cruz constantly felt like it was looking out for us proving it would be a great choice for families or anyone who prioritizes peace of mind Over the course of 500 miles of mixed driving we averaged about 25 miles per gallon — right in line with EPA estimates for the turbo AWD version Not bad at all for a vehicle with real truck capability and sporty performance it would be a great companion for small trailers The backseat area is roomy enough for adult passengers and also featured under-seat storage for added utility After spending a week behind the wheel of the refreshed 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited it became clear that Hyundai had created something truly unique It blended the best elements of an SUV and a pickup added a generous helping of modern technology and comfort and wrapped it all in a bold design that would stand out in any driveway If you’re looking for an SUV but are needing some versatility similar to a small pickup the Santa Cruz may just prove to be the perfect match LLC | www.heraldextra.com | 1200 Towne Centre Blvd 2025Santa Cruz just dropped a serious heater with
