Children ages 5 to 12 will have the opportunity to meet local Olympians vol-leyball player Gabe Gardner, downhill skier Starr Hur-ley, synchronized swimmer Lauren McFall and wheel-chair basketball champion Joseph Chambers who will share their experiences and illustrate how the ideals of the Olympics have helped shape their lives. Free of charge and open to the pub-lic, from 1 to 3 p.m at La Si-erra Community Center, the event will start with a pa-rade complete with Olympic torch, and will be followed by sports clinics and athlet-ic demonstrations. The chil-dren even receive gold med-als (while supplies last)! The afternoon ends with a sto-rytelling session where the athletes share stories.

“It’s an inspiring time... There’s a lot of activity in short amount of time and it has a good impact with the kids,” said Sharlene Lal-

Hernandez, Recreation Su-pervisor for the Carmichael Recreation & Park District.

“They are super passion-ate. They are excited about having this event and from what I can gather from pre-vious years, they love to see the impact on what it has on the kids. They like that and that’s kind of hard to find. We do the event because of their involvement. They wrangle their schedules to-gether. They are super in-volved from the moment we set the date to the outline from the day. Without them, there probably wouldn’t be an event,” Sharlene said.

The following are bi-ographies of the athletes who will be present at Olympic Day.

greatest achievements as a wheelchair basketball cham-pion include winning the 2012 bronze medalist in the

Story by MonICA [email protected] by StEPHEn CRoWLEY [email protected]

First Sac State, then Phil Angelides’ house on 13th Avenue in Land Park: The 42nd President of the Unit-ed States Bill Clinton took to Sacramento to shed light on Hillary Clinton’s attri-butes and past achievements as the California primary draws close on June 7. Inside of the University Ballroom about 1,000 excited peo-ple came to see the former president and later that eve-ning about 300 people gath-ered at the Angelides home. The sold-out fundraising event offered three dona-tion tiers. “Advocates” paid $500; “Fighters”, $1,000 and “Champions” $2,700, which included a photo with the former president. Messag-es to Hillary’s fundraising Northern California cam-

paign headquarters regard-ing the total amount that night have not been an-swered as of press time.

A Los Angeles Times arti-cle, dated Feb. 18 mentions that Angelides and Board of Equalization member Fio-na Ma, both of whom have raised more than $100,000 for Hillary Clinton, said they also were confident that Clinton was where she needed to be in the fund-raising race with Senator Bernie Sanders.

A personal photogra-pher for Angelides for many years, including during his run for governor, Maggie Rose McGurk spoke with Valley Community News-papers regarding the “closed press” fundraising event in Land Park, which she pho-tographed. Included in the discussion were the follow-ing comments: “Phil’s wife Julie provided the (Greek) food and their friend Joy pre-pared the hors d’oeuvres for everybody. After Bill Clin-ton arrived, he was in the house for awhile and Phil started the event and intro-duced Bill Clinton and he (Bill) spoke for quite some time. He was really terrif-ic. He was so great with ev-erybody. He had so many great things to say. The pho-

tos show how excited every-one was to shake hands with Bill Clinton. It was mostly outside and it was just a real positive event. Everyone was so happy.” Also attending the Land Park event were at least three councilmembers: Mayor Kevin Johnson, Eric Guerra and Steve Hansen.

This isn’t the first time Angelides has rolled out the “political red carpet.” According to an article in the 1988 Lodi News-Sen-tinel, the Angelides home went through a major transformation in prepara-tion for a fund-raising din-ner for then-Democrat-ic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, which raised roughly $1 million, one of the then-biggest po-litical fundraisers to ever be held in Sacramento. Cher was scheduled to attend that event, but canceled af-ter suffering an arm injury, according to the Sentinel.

Bill Clinton’s arrival to the neighborhood brought many passersby who watched from the sidewalk of William Land Park to catch a glimpse of the for-mer president.

South Land Park resident Victoria Simmons walks the park regularly after work and happened to see pro-

testers on the sidewalk. A Hillary supporter unaware of the fundraising event, she went home, made her own poster and returned to 13th Avenue. To her, Hill-ary is the “most experienced candidate both with gov-ernment and foreign policy and has a measured policy on both foreign and domes-tic issues.”

Also hanging out on the lawn on the edge of William Land Park was the Corona family. A contractor, Julio,

was working on the house next door. “ The owner told us this morning. I forgot to ask her if it was going to be Bill or Hillary. There was a protest, about 30 protest-ing for awhile... (Bill Clin-ton) waved at the protest-ers. They just left after he went inside.”

Not sanctioned by either the local Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump campaigns, the protesters reported-

ly held a microphone and spoke from across the street while guests entered the An-gelides’ residence.

Darrow Sprague, a lead organizer of the Sacra-mento for Bernie Sanders group said, “ There’s no way I’d associate myself with such an effort. It’s counter productive. We are focused on direct voter outreach and reaching the undecid-ed voters with Bernie’s pos-itive message.”

Over at Sac State, where the graduating class just had graduation last Friday, the campus was pretty emp-ty except for inside the ball-room where excited Clin-ton supporters gathered to hear from the former pres-ident Hillary Clinton’s past achievements.

“Are we going to build a future of walls or bridges?” If you want walls, be with the “other guy”; if you want bridges, “you have to be with Hillary,” Mr. Clinton said in his opening remarks. “If you believe we can build a 21st century economy, she is your candidate.”

Discussing the road to economic recovery, Clinton said it’s taken a long time to get back on our feet, though he acknowledged that 80 percent of American peo-ple haven’t had a pay raise. “ There’s so much anxiety,” he said. But despite the ad-versity, he said the coun-try has a chance to rise to-gether. “You need a proven change maker... The only candidate that has repeat-edly gotten republican sup-port (is Hillary).

Opening the Sac State event, Assemblymember Dr. Richard Pan, a pedi-

atrician, father and hus-band, addressed the audi-ence: “ I know Hillary has been in trenches fight-ing for children, fighting for women. She needs to be our president.” Hillary, he said, has been joined by every Asian Pacific Island-er in the caucus. “We need a strong leader that can lead that can bring people together.”

Further showing the di-verse support for Hillary in-cluded the California Legis-lative Black Caucus, which unanimously endorsed Hillary and the powerful Latino Caucus.

Latino Caucus chairman, Assembly member Luis Alejo (D-Salinas), noted that 40 percent of Califor-nia’s population is Latino and that the caucus proud-ly stands with Hillary. “She has a path to equal citizen-ship. She wants to build bridges; she doesn’t want to build walls. Si se puede.”

After the event, VCN tried speaking with volun-teers of the HRC campaign who were standing outside

the ballroom. Multiple vol-unteers declined interviews saying they were forbidden to talk to press and that they didn’t hear Clinton’s speech anyway.

Also kept out of the event was Hillary supporter Ray Jones. “I missed it. I went to the bathroom and they wouldn’t let me back in.”

Undecided on who she was going to vote for, Shap Bahar-dar said Bill Clinton’s speech solidified her vote for Hill-ary. “I knew her record. Knew some of her record, but what was shared tonight was more in depth. What she’s done and under the radar and what she’s done on a daily basis on positions she’s held. Very

valuable things she’s done and that makes her pretty darn qualified... I love Bill. When he was president, those were some of the best years. We came really to see him than more to support her. But it was two birds with one stone. By loving him, he shed light on pieces of her that makes more sense to me.”

Concerts in the Park: Peter Petty and his titans of terpsichoreSaturday, Aug. 20 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Peter Petty is a Sacramento based band leader that tests (and coins) the adage “Th ere are no small rooms, just louder ones.” Charged with the sin-gular mission of reinterpreting mu-sic that scintillates, syncopates, and sometimes even educates, Mr. Petty swings out with the frenetic elegance of a Tasmanian devil in a tuxedo leading some of the fi nest stewards of traditional jazz in the Sacramen-to area to piggyback on the colos-sal, still-reverberating shoulders of such giants of the genre as Duke El-lington, Count Basie, Louis Arm-strong, Mildred Bailey, Cab Callo-way and Joe Williams. Th en he leaps over to stomp on, and ride the coat-tails of undisputable legends like Ray Charles, Louis Prima, Roy Orbison,

Shirley Bassey, Tom Waits, and Da-vid Bowie, singing every note of his 3 2/3 octave range with inexhaust-ible power and captivating control. Th rowing out novelized lyrics, and even a few original tunes, it’s an in-fectious, eclectic, electric, acoustic mash-up that not only connects the dots between seemingly disparate musical genres, and artists, but does it with an adventurous and hilari-ous theatricality that entertains the “swell” out of audiences of all ages. For more information about Peter Petty visit www.peterpetty.biz

Twenty-four outstanding students will be recognized at a St. Francis event today at 8 a.m. in the St. Francis Theatre on campus to honor those graduating seniors who have made the choice to major in an art discipline. Students represent a breadth of art fields such as cinematography, fashion design, art education, acting, architecture, musical the-ater, technical arts, screenwriting, dance and art history. They will be attending twenty dif-ferent programs at some of the country’s top schools. St. Francis is the first to recognize the major commitment of these students to their craft in addition to their outstanding academic achievement.

St. Francis students take one year of classes in the arts but many take art every semester, ad-vancing to one of our honors or Advanced Place-ment (AP) Arts courses. Ten percent of the class of 2016 is going on to major in the arts. Students submit art portfolios or audition for some of the most prestigious theatre and musical theatre col-leges throughout the country.

The event will be broadcast on the Trou-bieTV Network online. Family, friends, and

fans can watch the event for free by registering on the PlayOn! Sports NFHS Network.

The following is a statement regarding what wheelchair basketball has brought to his life:

“Wheelchair basketball has provided me with so many opportunities. I have been blessed with not only being able to play basketball again but to be able to play at the highest level of competi-tion. Playing in the Olympics and World Cham-pionships were extremely humbling.

“To honor your country by putting on a USA jersey was a proud moment and I would have never been able to experience this without wheel-chair basketball. I am a more cultured and tol-erant person because of the people I have met around the world. I have experienced so many different lifestyles and have been enriched by the places I have visited. Being able to play basket-ball again after it was drastically taken away from me by cancer at the age of 19 was the feeling of a second chance. I knew this time around I wasn’t going to take anything for granted and I would always give one hundred percent. Because of my experiences I have enjoyed sharing my love, knowledge and ability of the game with others. Wheelchair basketball has brought so much into my life that I hope to share it and provide oppor-tunities to as many people as possible.”
