Olympic Day set for June 6

By Monica Stark

editor@valcomnews.com

Children ages 5 to 12 will have the opportunity to meet local Olympians volleyball player Gabe Gardner, downhill skier Starr Hurley, synchronized swimmer Lauren McFall and wheelchair 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 public, from 1 to 3 p.m at La Sierra Community Center, the event will start with a parade complete with Olympic torch, and will be followed by sports clinics and athletic demonstrations. The children even receive gold medals (while supplies last)! The afternoon ends with a storytelling 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 LalValley Community Newspapers, Inc.

Hernandez, Recreation Supervisor for the Carmichael Recreation & Park District.

“They are super passionate. They are excited about having this event and from what I can gather from previous 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 together. They are super involved 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 biographies of the athletes who will be present at Olympic Day.

Bill Clinton visited CSUS for Hillary campaign event Story by MonICA StARk editor@valcomnews.com

Photos by StEPHEn CRoWLEY stephen@valcomnews.com

First Sac State, then Phil Angelides’ house on 13th Avenue in Land Park: The 42nd President of the United States Bill Clinton took to Sacramento to shed light on Hillary Clinton’s attributes and past achievements as the California primary draws close on June 7. Inside of the University Ballroom about 1,000 excited people came to see the former president and later that evening about 300 people gathered at the Angelides home.

The sold-out fundraising event offered three donation tiers. “Advocates” paid $500; “Fighters”, $1,000 and “Champions” $2,700, which included a photo with the former president. Messages to Hillary’s fundraising Northern California cam-

paign headquarters regarding the total amount that night have not been answered as of press time.

A Los Angeles Times article, dated Feb. 18 mentions that Angelides and Board of Equalization member Fiona 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 fundraising race with Senator Bernie Sanders.

A personal photographer for Angelides for many years, including during his run for governor, Maggie Rose McGurk spoke with Valley Community Newspapers regarding the “closed press” fundraising event in Land Park, which she photographed. Included in the discussion were the following comments: “Phil’s wife Julie provided the (Greek) food and their friend Joy prepared the hors d’oeuvres for everybody. After Bill Clinton arrived, he was in the house for awhile and Phil started the event and introduced Bill Clinton and he (Bill) spoke for quite some time. He was really terrific. He was so great with everybody. He had so many great things to say. The pho-

tos show how excited everyone 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-Sentinel, the Angelides home went through a major transformation in preparation for a fund-raising dinner for then-Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, which raised roughly $1 million, one of the then-biggest political fundraisers to ever be held in Sacramento. Cher was scheduled to attend that event, but canceled after 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 former 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, Hillary is the “most experienced candidate both with government and foreign policy and has a measured policy on both foreign and domestic 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 protesting for awhile... (Bill Clinton) waved at the protesters. They just left after he went inside.”

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

Darrow Sprague, a lead organizer of the Sacramento 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 undecided voters with Bernie’s positive message.”

Over at Sac State, where the graduating class just had graduation last Friday, the campus was pretty empty except for inside the ballroom where excited Clinton supporters gathered to hear from the former president 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 people haven’t had a pay raise. “ There’s so much anxiety,” he said. But despite the adversity, he said the country has a chance to rise together. “You need a proven change maker... The only candidate that has repeatedly gotten republican support (is Hillary).

atrician, father and husband, addressed the audience: “I know Hillary has been in trenches fighting for children, fighting for women. She needs to be our president.” Hillary, he said, has been joined by every Asian Pacific Islander in the caucus. “ We need a strong leader that can lead that can bring people together.”

Further showing the diverse support for Hillary included the California Legislative 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 California’s population is Latino and that the caucus proudly stands with Hillary. “She has a path to equal citizenship. She wants to build bridges; she doesn’t want to build walls. Si se puede.”

After the event, VCN tried speaking with volunteers of the HRC campaign who were standing outside

the ballroom. Multiple volunteers 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 Bahardar said Bill Clinton’s speech solidified her vote for Hillary. “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

24 St. Francis students recognized for collegiate commitment to the arts 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 theater, technical arts, screenwriting, dance and art history. They will be attending twenty different 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, advancing to one of our honors or Advanced Placement (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 colleges throughout the country.

The event will be broadcast on the TroubieTV Network online. Family, friends, and

fans can watch the event for free by registering on the PlayOn! Sports NFHS Network. http://www.nfhsnetwork.com/events/stfrancis-catholic-high-school-sacramento-ca/ 4a42257cb3

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 competition. Playing in the Olympics and World Championships 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 wheelchair basketball. I am a more cultured and tolerant 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 basketball 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 opportunities to as many people as possible.”
