Friday Night Lights in West Sacramento City celebrates the season with annual tree lighting By Bia Riaz bia@news-ledger.com Mayor Christopher Cabaldon was beaming as he walked through the bustling crowds on Friday night with his smart phone held high, filming the excitement and festivities on Periscope.tv for the world to see. This is how the city of West Sacramento kicks off the holiday season. “The lights, the music, and Santa’s arrival is all wonderful, but the best part is seeing all the people of West Sacramento gathering here to celebrate. From Broderick to Southport, they all come here to common ground. It becomes the living room of West Sacramento,” Cabaldon said. The Christmas Tree lighting event kicked off at 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4 and was free for all to attend. The River City High School Combined Choir had the crowd dancing and singing to everyone’s favorite holiday songs. Several booths, sponsored by local businesses and community service
agencies, were there serving free hot cocoa, popcorn, and cookies for the crowds to enjoy. Karen Zebron and Alan Lange from the Yolo Family Service agency were passing out chocolate chip cookies and talking to people about the counseling and family support services available for people in West Sacramento. “We want to get the word out that we are not just a building in Woodland. We are here in West Sacramento and available to support and help families in need,” Alan said. “With dedicated professional counselors, we provide accessible counseling and mental health services to promote healthy communities for families and individuals,” Karen added. Amidst cheers and flashing lights, Santa arrived riding aboard Fire Engine 45. The West Sacramento Police Department Bike Patrol led the procession, escorting Santa in his iconic red velvet suit up to the stage. Councilmember Chris Ledesma

Yolo County volunteers honored on Philanthropy Day The Yolo Community Foundation recently held its annual Philanthropy Day celebration, at which several community volunteers were honored by local nonprofits. Meg Stallard, president of the Yolo Community Foundation, said, “We started this event a number of years ago to give Yolo County nonprofit agencies a public forum to salute their volunteers and donors. Our citizens give so much of their time and treasure to good works. This helps make Yolo County a special place to live and work.” Seven Yolo County nonprofits recognized donors and/or volunteers: The Yolo Land Trust honored Carole Pirruccello and Diana Davidson, trustees of the John and Eunice Davidson Fund for their financial support of the Land Trust over several years. CommuniCare Health Centers honored contractor, donor and volunteer Scott Maxwell, who has had a hand in building CommuniCare’s facilities for many years.

Santa’s Fire Truck is Coming to Town! The West Sacramento Fire Department, in conjunction with the West Sacramento Firefighter’s Association, is preparing for the annual “Santa Run” through West Sacramento. With the help of many off-duty firefighter “elves,” Santa will be riding through various neighborhoods on an elaborately decorated fire truck “sleigh” and handing out candy canes purchased and donated by the West Sacramento Firefighter’s Association. Additionally, Santa will have a pickup truck following his “sleigh” with helpers collecting any canned food donations for the needy. The West Sacramento Firefighter’s Association would like to extend its most sincere thanks and appreciation to all those who come out to make canned food donations, as well as to the Fire Chief & City Manager, for permitting the usage and decoration of the ladder truck for this annual tradition. This year the Santa Run is scheduled for six nights beginning at 6 p.m. Please note that the run each evening is based on the weather conditions as well. If it rains on a scheduled night we will try to make it up the next week. The decision whether to cancel or reschedule will be made one hour prior to the run each night and will be posted on the WSFD social media outlets Twitter and Facebook to assist families with their plans. We are looking forward to a great event and hope you can join us. Santa will be in the following areas on these dates: Monday, December 7th Broderick and Bryte area: Fremont, Douglas, Andrew, Sixth, Cummins, Anna, Kegle, Carrie, Lisbon, North Hobson, and Fourness.

and fun events for the season. We can accommodate up to 150 people for each seating. We usually sell out. This year, the first seating at 8:30 a.m. is already sold out.” Some people on the local community discussion boards were concerned about the increased cost of the event this year and how this cost increase may prevent them from attending. Perrelli explained the reason for the cost increase, as follows: “Our costs for the event,
including food and facility rental fees, have gone up significantly. However, we are happy to be partnering with KOVR to help cover some of the costs. We try to keep the ticket prices reasonable and have only increased it $2 from the previous year.” The Chamber does expect this event to sell out. Pre-registration is strongly recommended and all children must be accompanied by a paying adult. For more information, or to purchase tickets, contact the West
Sacramento Chamber of Commerce at 371-7042. This year the ticket prices are, as follows: Children under 2, $6; children ages 2 to 12, $10; adults and children 13 and older, $15. There will be two seatings, one from 8:30 to 10 a.m. and a second from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Mid Valley Funding & Investing will be sponsoring the Toys for Tots collections. If you happen to attend the event, please have a stack of pancakes for me!
RCHS Dedicates Wiley Hall By Aland Hoermann Family, friends and staff, students and community members gathered on friday night to dedicate the naming of the science building on RCHS’s campus as Wiley Hall. The name recognizes the legacy of Clare Wiley, a passionate and enthusiastic science teacher who created the school’s Biomedical Sciences program while waging an eleven year battle against leiomyosarcoma. At the ceremony, family members and staff related stories about how Wiley would use the medical procedures, surgeries and chemotherapy that she was experiencing as in-class examples to further her students’ learning about the medical field and the human body. According to her father, Steve Long, who spoke at the ceremony, Wiley’s goal was to spark an awareness in her students that there are many opportunities in healthcare beyond doctors and nurses that can help people and further our understanding of treatments and possible cures for diseases that impact society.

Seed Survivor Comes to Southport Elementary The first and second grade classes at Southport Elementary were treated to a visit from the Seed Survivor traveling field trip on Tuesday, November 17th. Through interactive games the young students had the opportunity to compete as virtual farmers, design a garden, view the water cycle, and even plant a seed to take home and grow. The Seed Survivor is a traveling exhibit owned by Agrium Inc. a major retailer of agricultural products and services in North America, South America and Australia. The purpose of the exhibit is to teach the next generation about growing healthy plants and the importance of agriculture. This exhibit tours the United States year-round. Lindsey Metheral, Agrium’s Program Coordinator said in 2014 over 100,000 children across 16 states and provinces planted seeds at Seed Survivor. She went on to add, “We want children to grow up to be healthy eaters, to be interested in agriculture and to understand where their food comes from.” Seed Survivor trailers are being hosted by California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom (CFAITC). These field trips on wheels are available in this area between November 15th - March 31st. CFAITC’s mission is to increase awareness and understanding of agriculture among California’s
educators and students. They are able to do this by providing free resources for students and teachers at www.Growing theNextGeneration.com. Southport Elementary was honored to be the first school in Yolo County to have the Seed Survivor trailer at our site. The presentation and interactive games helped to further our student’s knowledge. When asked what they learned from their time with the Seed Survivor, the 2nd graders were surprised about how little land is actually used for growing our food, compared to the amount of land that is, water, mountains, deserts, and cities. It also helped them understand our own plantings in our Southport Garden and what those plants need to be healthy. It was a great, on campus field trip for our primary students here at Southport Elementary. For further information go to seedsurvivor.com.
West Sacramento Community Orchestra founder comes home On Sunday, Dec. 13, at 3 p.m., Dierdre Wolownick (formerly Dierdre Honnold), the founder of the West Sacramento Community Orchestra, will pay a surprise visit to the Orchestra’s annual Holiday Concert at the West Sacramento Civic Center, 1110 West Capitol Ave. Dierdre created the orchestra in 1990, after moving to the region from Japan, and conducted it for four years until 1994. Back then, she was able to afford a house in the area and she assumed there would be lots of culture. But West Sac wasn’t a city, yet. “There was absolutely nothing. No movies, no stores, nothing,” she says today reminiscing with the Ledger about her early days in California. “I started to take my kids out, but we’d go across the river for everything.” So, she decided she’d do something she always wanted to do – conduct an orchestra. “I thought it was a great idea. So, I decided to just go for it. It is rare that I got to create my own orchestra, which is something I always what I wanted to do. It was a labor of love. I had to give up the orchestra, but it’s still going. It was a fascinating time.” Some early performances include playing for the grand opening of the Best Western Harbor Inn of West Sacramento, a performance at the Crock-
er Museum, numerous City Council and Community events, and a gala performance in Sacramento’s Downtown Plaza. Sooner or later, after four years, she was juggling too much between family life, work and music that in 1994, Dierdre left to pursue a full-time job elsewhere and the baton was passed to Gordon Waters, the Orchestra’s French horn player. Under his direction, the orchestra performs several holiday concerts each year. While her main instrument is the piano, then the flute, she also plays the accordion, harpsichord, the clarinet, and guitar. In more recent years, in Carmichael, she played piano duets with Mason Jones (until he moved to Texas) in all the senior centers in the area. Playing for seniors, she said, was a wonderful experience. “(They’re) such an appreciative audience. We tailored our performances to their ages ... (to include) the old tunes, music they would know … We were very welcomed; they loved what we did. I would like to get back to doing that.” Dierdre, a recently retired professor at American River College, moved into publishing while living in West Sacramento. Her books include the popular guides to the region for people with children, “Sacramento with Kids” (update next year) and “San Jose with

Kids” (out of print), as well as novels, several textbooks and various shorter works. Dierdre’s son, Alex Honnold, is the world’s most famous rock climber whose exploits are described in his latest book, “Alone on the Wall” (Norton Publishers, NY). He’s currently doing a nationwide book signing tour. Dierdre, also a climber, recently presented a slideshow and spoke about her adventures climbing Half Dome and other memorable peaks with her son at the Rocknasium in Davis.
