Ode to Jicama by Juliette

Ode to Jicama*

Jicama, oh jicama I love you so,
Jicama, oh jicama you're white like snow.

Are you a vegetable or are you a root?
I'm falling for you, I need a parachute.

Jicama, oh jicama you are so juicy,
Jicama, oh jicama you make me loosey-goosey.

How did you get to be so good?
And yet, you are still so misunderstood.

Jicama, oh jicama you are so healthy,
Jicama, oh jicama you snuck up on me, you're stealthy.

Jicama, oh jicama you give me vitamin C,
Jicama, oh Jicama you hold the key.

Jicama, oh jicama you make a great meal,
for jicama, oh jicama you are quite ideal.

The Story Behind the Throckmorton Theater By Odessa

Can you imagine Mill Valley without the memorable Throckmorton Theatre? What if it wasn’t bought by Lucy Mercer in the early 2000s? Would is still remain in disrepair? What would happen to the Mill Valley Film Festival and all the art and acting programs? This life sounds quite dreary in our opinion. Whoever has done something or participated in something within the Throckmorton Theatre knows how instantaneously you become enamored with the intricately painted walls, the nostalgic wood furnishing and the welcoming foyer, but it’s not just that, there is this magical feeling in the air that seems almost tangible around you. The laughter, joy and tears that sprinkle out on warm summer nights, or windy fall evenings. The Throckmorton Theater The Throckmorton Theatre as we know it now used to be The Hub, which was famed for hosting Charlie Chaplin and regular vaudeville programming in 1914. Which was when the also darling Sequoia Theater opened in the 1920s, the Hub faded away and c...

The History of Spring Cleaning By Emilia

The History of Spring Cleaning When I hear those words butterflies of excitement rise in my stomach. It time for “Spring Cleaning.” Spring cleaning has been a tradition in my house for as long as I can remember. Going through my desks and all the random boxes in my house feels as though I’m starting from scratch. It gives me the ability to reorganize my room and make space for brand new things. Spring cleaning is one of my favorite times of the year and going through it this year I started to wonder about the history of the tradition. It all started as a Jewish tradition in which families would go through their home and perform a “deep cleaning” in preparation for Passover. Jewish families were supposed to rid their houses of any remnants of chametz for the duration of the holiday. This resulted in a complete cleaning of their homes. Since Passover is in spring the tradition of hunting for chametz took place the week before, hence the name “Spring Cleaning.” As time went on spr...
