At a recent school board meeting, several attend-ees were disallowed to speak about concerns over a current contract dispute between the Washington Unified School District and the Washington Teacher’s Association union, accord-ing to President of the WTA Don Stauffer.Stauffer explained that

the focus of the dispute is that, despite the district receiving a more than 14 percent increase in fund-ing this year, the teach-ers are being offered a 2 percent increase, which would set the teachers in this district behind compa-rable districts in the area in terms of average yearly salary.“It’s our contention that

that raise is too small, giv-en the increase in funding that the schools are get-ting,” Stauffer said. While Stauffer couldn’t

give an exact amount for the increase the WTA is seeking because of a con-fidentiality agreement, he stated the union is seeking an increase that is more

on the level of surrounding districts.“Because of the reces-

sion, we went a number of years without any sal-ary increase at all,” said Stauffer. “We’ve done well the last couple of years, but the school district has done even better. The con-text is that if we were the only district around, may-be that would be OK, but what’s happening is that we’re falling behind the pay that’s offered by dis-tricts in the neighboring area, including Sacramento County and related areas.”Stauffer added that good

teachers are being lost by WUSD to surrounding dis-tricts because of higher pay. “A lot of teachers have

young kids,” said Stauffer. “With the cost of childcare, even if you’ve got a nice place to work, they may be think-ing about, “Well, I could use that extra money.’ ”The district website’s ne-

gotiation update FAQ dis-putes this, stating a state-wide teacher shortage and saying, any “open positions are due to a combination of retirements, resignations, and leaves of absence. To

date, no resigning teachers have reported that they are leaving due to more competitive compensation packages offered in other districts.”Administrator of Commu-

nication and Community Outreach for the Washing-ton Unified School District Giorgos Kazanis said that because mediation—which began May 20, according to the district website—is currently ongoing, the law, “prohibits both sides from discussing the details of negotiations with any par-ties outside the negotiat-ing teams.”Kazanis addressed the

concerns of the teacher’s union with a statement. “The Washington Unified

School District is deeply committed to recruiting and retaining a high-qual-ity workforce focused on student success,” said the statement. “We believe that our employees de-serve the very best com-pensation for their tireless efforts in the classroom and on our school campus-es—it is also our fiduciary responsibility to ensure that we are able to sustain and maintain district-wide

programs while provid-ing the financial stability needed to support future pay increases, benefits and pensions for our employ-ees.”Aside from the salary dis-

pute, class sizes are also a concern for the WTA, but Stauffer said if the salary issue is resolved, the union will quickly wrap up nego-tiations regarding any oth-er issues.Whether or not this dis-

pute would lead to a strike is something Stauffer said is always on the table, fol-lowing a series of other steps that would have to take place beforehand, but that the teachers are most-ly interested in coming to an agreement so that they can get back to educating the city’s youth. “As the representative

for teachers in West Sac-ramento, we just want to get this thing done and move on,” said Stauffer. “If things don’t get resolved, (a strike) is where it could go. Trust me, I do not want to see that. Our primary interest is our students and we’d like to be focus-ing our attention on our students.”

WTA representatives say the district’s funding has increased more than enough to afford more competitive pay raises

YOLOBUS Launches Yolobus AlertOn Wednesday, June 1, all Yolobus

riders will be able to subscribe to real time text alerts for the routes that they ride every day. Due to the upturn in the economy, traffi c has increased in the Sacramento Region and bus riders need to know if their regular daily bus is going to be late due to traffi c or some other reason so they can notify family, their plac-es of employment and their dentist if the bus is going to be late. Like many transit services, Yolo-

bus has employed technology that enables riders to user their smart phones to track their bus to see what time it will arrive. Yolobus uses Yolobus LIVE, a mobile web-site located at http://avl.yolobus.com to see where the bus is on a given bus route in real time. Yolo-bus LIVE is a more advanced tool and requires a smart phone with a robust cellular connect.Yolobus Alert, is a simple text-

based alert that a rider can sub-scribe to on any cellular phone. A rider can select one or more routes and if their bus is late, a short text message will alert them within a few minutes. Yolobus Alert can be found on the home page of Yolobus at www.yolobus.com . “This is a great tool for our riders. It takes all the guess work out of fi guring out if and why a bus is late. All of our riders can use this tool.” Harold An-derson, Chair, Yolo County Trans-portation District and Councilman from the City of Winters.Yolobus Alert was developed by

Trandev, Inc., the company that op-erates Yolobus on behalf of the Yolo County Transportation District. Transdev has deployed this tool effectively in a number of transit properties throughout the Country. “Our riders asked for this service and we have delivered an effective tool that can be used for all bus routes throughout the Yolobus Sys-tem” – Carmen Alba, General Man-ager – Transdev Yolo.The Yolo County Transportation

District administers YOLOBUS, which operates local and inter-city bus service 365 days a year in Yolo County and neighboring ar-eas. YOLOBUS serves Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Woodland, downtown Sacramento, Sacramen-to International Airport, Cache Creek Casino Resort, Esparto, Madison, Dunnigan and Knights Landing. As an added convenience for our riders, Yolobus makes connections with other local pub-lic transportation systems. With connections to Unitrans and Fair-field-Suisun Transit in Davis, and Regional Transit and Light Rail in Sacramento, you have a wide range of options.

The monument is called “Tor-reiro da Luta” and is ded-icated to “Our Lady of

Peace” or in Portuguese “Nossa Senhora da Paz”. The priest that initiated the project was Reverend Father Jardim. He came to California to visit two brothers and a sister who lived in the Sacramen-to area. While he was here, he asked for dona-tions to help pay for the shrine. The debt at that time was $100,000.00. Father Jardim arrived in California in May, 1922 and told the Por-tuguese community in Riverbank (Bryte and

Broderick) of his ambi-tions. After hearing this they formed a committee to have a Festa in honor of St. Peter and the pro-ceeds helped pay down the debt. Father Jardim performed the fi rst Mass after which all gathered together under a large oak tree for a barbeque and the $600 proceeds went to help pay the debt. From that day on, the Festa of San Pedro has always been cele-

The graduating class of James Marshall High School 1976 is planning to celebrate it’s 40th re-union on Saturday, Sept. 24th at the fabulous Legacy Club at Raley Field. Hard to believe it has been four decades since the ‘bi-centennial’ class walked across that stage to collect their di-plomas. The reunion commit-

tee has been working hard to make this event something special for all who attend, and in-evitably during their meetings the ques-tion always comes up, “where are they now?”. West Sacramento’s best and brightest in the days of long hair and bell bottoms have be-come prosperous in oth-er towns and states and countries. Through re-search the committtee found graduates live in places like St. Lou-is, Austria, Iowa, New Zealand, Washington, Alaska, Nevada. Some have remained in the area. They have been or became teachers, small business owners, lawyers, contractors, truck drivers, profes-

sional athletes, entre-preneurs, artists, cler-gymen, and staffers - as varied occupations as you can think of. Some super successful and some maybe not so. One thing they all have in common is their roots to West Sacramento.To further the 40th cel-

ebration, JMHS Class of ‘76 wants you to share the fun with other Al-umnis. Whether you were in their year or not. Round up some old high school pals and come celebrate with us. Let us do all the work, and you can have your own reunion! Tickets are $60 per person and in-clude appetizers, buffet dinner, dessert, music, dancing, photographer and no-host bar.

On the Run for SuccessBy Kiarah SmithRiver City High School journalism student

On Thursday, May 20 during the San Joaquin section trials for track and field, River City athletes Brianna Staffler, Faith Grewe, Gabe Baker, and Imani Greene all qualified for section finals.Senior Brianna Staffler, competed in the high jump

category and 100-meter hurdles, once again obtaining the school record in the 100-meter hurdles in which was once held by teammate and senior Faith Grewe. Sophomore Imani Greene competed on the varsity lev-

el at trials in the 300-meter hurdle category and qual-ified himself for section finals. Although both Staffler and Grewe had a strong season, they failed to advance to the CIF-SJS Masters Track Meet.Though Grewe lost grip of the school record, she also

competed in the 100-meter hurdles in which qualifies her to participate in section finals. Grewe’s exceptional running time, allowed her to become one of two River City athletes to advance to Masters.Senior Gabe Baker, the other RCHS athlete to ad-

vance, prospered within the discus category, placing him in section finals. Baker was in ninth place, and during his last and final throw, just as he thought he was done for good, a miracle happened. Baker threw 10 feet past his previous personal record.

His final distance of 139 feet and 11 inches automatically boosted him up to third place, eliminating his league ri-val and allowing him to be the first athlete in River City history to advance to CIF Masters in the discus category.“It is my most cherished memory and as I stood on

the podium I received the smallest medal of my life. This medal is my most valued possession, no matter the size. It is an honor to represent River City in the Masters meet,” states Baker.Though the two River City athletes qualified for Mas-

ters, neither advanced, resulting in the River City Track Team’s season to officially come to an end.“We grew close as a team and I couldn’t be more

thankful for our coaches, Coach Daprato, Coach Wil-liams, and my teammates,” says Staffler.

Attention 7th - 12th grade athletes

By Michele Townsend

West Sacramento’s Bicycle, Pedes-trian and Trails Master Plan is a huge project that the city of West Sacramento has begun. Its purpose is to increase safety

and connectivity for the bicycle and pedestrian travel throughout town. The project is citywide and will in-clude the development of bike paths, bike routes and 10.3 miles of bike lanes will be added throughout town. However, currently, the part of

this project that has begun to take shape is the construction of the Syc-amore Trail. Several pieces of land are being developed to create this trail. It begins from at the end of Rice Avenue behind Westfield Ele-mentary, travels to Michigan, from Michigan to West Capitol, through Sycamore Park, from Evergreen to the north side of Westmore Oaks Elementary parking lot, around the front of the school and then from the south end of the school to the corner of Stone and Park. These access easements were pre-

viously fenced off and not patrolled. They were unsafe and unsightly. These easements are now being de-veloped to create a bike path that will allow bicycle and pedestrian traffic a safer and easier way across that section of our city. With safety and concern for the res-

idents a priority, the city is looking into such things as the installation of two-stage lighting. These lights will have low light output with motion sensors that will brighten the light as you get closer. This type of lighting will increase safety, save energy, and will be less invasive to the residents. Though we already have a few

West Sac bicycle police officers, the Eyes on the Street concept will be the primary system of security. The Eye on the Street concept sim-ply means that when something is in public and can always be seen, there are more eyes on it – which in itself brings down the crime

risk. This is NOT to say that the city expects the adjoining residents to keep watch over the bike path. They don’t! But the simple truth is that the more often it is used, the safer it is likely to be. The city of West Sacramento is

also working closely with Wash-ington Unified School District to promote the Safe Routes to School program. This path will allow for safer bike passages to Westfield and Westmore Oaks elementary schools. In addition to the health benefits, the more people who can transition to biking and walking to school, the more it will relieve the stress and congestion of drop off and pick up times at the elementa-ry schools. It’s also a great way for a family bike ride!With the BPT Master Plan getting

under way, the City of West Sacra-mento held an Open House on May 17 and 18 at City Hall where they updated the Master Plan, talked about premier projects that are mov-ing forward, and listened to concerns that community members have. It was very informal and welcoming. As you walked in, there were several large maps on display with the ex-isting plan, both upcoming and com-pleted. There was also a blank map set up, and markers, for the commu-nity members to mark on the map their areas of concern. Along with it was a large tablet for those people to explain what their concern or desire was with the correlating section of map. Everybody walked around and spoke like friends.Chris Dougherty, the project man-

ager (or, Bike Path Master) was there to answer any questions, listen to ideas, and problems that were brought to him regarding all aspects of this project. Also attend-ing the meeting was Jason McCoy, who explained plans and answered any questions regarding bridges. In addition, Katie Yancey was there for anything that has, does, or will involve the railroads. All three were

very knowledgable and extremely forthcoming. They were also very receptive to comments from the public. A popular topic was bike racks. Maureen Price, from the Iron Works area said “I ride for pleasure but I also ride for errands, but my problem is bike racks!” Chris ex-plained that the city is aware and working on that, but that there are conflicts between some prop-erty owners, and the businesses that lease that property. Who pays for the bike racks? Who Maintains them? Who is liable? etc. Chris lis-tened to ideas and suggestions as he added to his growing list of areas of interest or concern. Chris told me “I think that the Open House was a success. A lot of information was exchanged, in both directions, and it was really good!” There are no current plans for any additional meeting of this sort, but the city is still very interested in the towns-people’s opinions and encourages you to go to their website, or you can email Chris at [email protected]

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trust-ee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear own-ership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be respon-sible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, be-fore you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, pri-ority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you con-sult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lend-er may hold more than one mort-gage or deed of trust on the prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be post-poned one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280- 2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web sitehttp://www.qualityloan.com , us-ing the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-16- 700867-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not imme-diately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify post-ponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common desig-nation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common des-ignation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be ob-

tained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is un-able to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the re-turn of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be enti-tled only to a return of the depos-it paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been re-leased of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is in-tended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agen-cy if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

WidgetsBy Jack Chandler Along Industrial Blvd., past the Port of

Sacramento, there is a plethora of anony-mous-looking industrial parks (appropri-ately enough). Various signs, intentionally or unintentionally including the inaccu-rate ‘Capital’ for ‘Capitol’, can be observed and the agreed-upon color scheme of these buildings seems to be a battleship-gray or cardboard-brown.South of the Port, across the Channel, one

can observe numerous, mammoth buildings (warehouses ? factories ? hangars ? staging areas for extraterrestrial spacecraft ?), sit-ting like great gray mastodons and waiting patiently for….what ? We can’t be sure.This is encouraging to know that so much

Industry is taking place in the area, but one anticipates a cupcake shop or sports cloth-ing line store to pop up somewhere in the mix, just to break up the flow.Consider the case of one Leonard Mon-

tana, a career Navy corpsman (retired) who had seen considerable activity in the Desert Storm sector at one point. These days, he deals with a manageable PTSD condition (night terrors) but is fully functioning on a swing shift at one of the mammoth bat-tleship gray buildings. He manufactures widgets (all sizes, from 00.07 to 435.00), not sure of their eventual purpose in America’s military-Industrial complex and frankly not caring. It’s a regular paycheck and he’s finally getting some issues straightened out with the Veterans’ Administration, so things are rolling along.Leonard’s co-workers are for the most part

agreeable and salt-of-the-Earth, but his pet peeve is the noise level on the production floor. A constant buzz and rattle engulfs him from all directions and periodical-ly, with no warning, an ear-piercing horn (imagine a bullhorn at a football game = times 1,000) will jolt him instantaneously back to an air raid drill in the Desert.Every hour, on the hour, an announce-

ment is made over the sound system (in-decipherable from the static). Leonard has asked his co-workers and supervisors (there are five of them) what in blazes the announcement means or who is making it. So far, no information. What really gets to him is the Pounding.

Impossible to predict, the Pounding sounds like a gargantuan hammer pummeling the roof of the building, perhaps driving in some rogue, uncooperative, gargantuan nail. It only lasts for less than a minute, perhaps a dozen strikes. However, it never fails to rattle Leonard to the marrow, sounding like the concussions of bombs.These days, Leonard stays at the Atlantis

Motel on West Capitol Blvd. The Atlantis is managed by a pleasant, unflappable Paki-stani family and it suits him just fine. Only thing is, the soda machine near the office is Always Out of Order. Hence, Leonard is a fan of Dr. Pepper in the plastic liters (he hasn’t had a drop of alcohol in five years...a long story with a happy ending). To amuse himself, he’s carefully constructed a wall of empty liter jugs along one side of his motel room. The police sporadically visit the Atlantis.

Every time there is an episode in the park-ing lot, or other rooms, Leonard is unfazed. His room is the last one in the row, so he

only has neighbors on one side. Esmerel-

Matías Bombal’s HollywoodThe LobsterThe MPAA has rated this RA24, the distributor that

brings you the most cre-ative and original films is releasing Greek writer/di-rector Yorgos Lanthimos’ first movie in English, “The Lobster”. Far from what may be considered a traditional movie nar-rative, this movie dares to do what it likes in the face of the commercial movie world, and frankly I find it a bit of fresh air. The movie is absurd without excuse and fascinating for the moviegoer that wants something to provoke thought and conversation as great art always should. We are shown a world

in which society demands that one finds a suitable life partner in an allot-ted time or they will be turned into an animal of their choice. If individu-als in this society fail to do so, they are given a last chance to find a partner during a short stay at a hotel, which much resem-bles a sanitarium. This is the last chance for anyone to find a partner, which may be either a male and female or same sex part-nership, but as we find out early in the movie, a bi-sexual partnership is no longer an available option. David, played by

Colin Farrell has just been dumped and deserted by his female life partner, and faces being turned into an animal before he is even able to grieve the loss of his last relationship. He is taken to the “hotel” where the management tells him what to expect during his stay. A no- nonsense hotel manager there was played by Olivia Coleman.This movie marches to

its own drummer. Oth-er actors you’ll see in this picture include John C. Reilly, Ben Wishaw, L?a Seydoux and Rachel Weisz. The plight of single people as presented in this alternate world of the di-rector’s conjuring are pun-ished by society and thus, this movie becomes a bit-ing social commentary on our real, daily modern life. As things become weirder and weirder for David at the hotel, he awaits his chance a target practice, a skill that will be needed for a sinister reason soon to be revealed in the story

line. The movie’s dialogue

throughout has that dis-tant monotone and life-less quality. Its frankness is emotionless. Curiosity drives David to finds out more about what happens behind the scenes at the hotel and horrified by what he discovers, he decides to escape. He runs into the woods, where he encoun-ters a rebel faction trying to hide from the forced partnership parings and revolt against the system. It is there that he actually begins to develop feelings for a woman that is part of the rebel faction played by Rachel Weisz.This director has made a

movie that may cause the effect of nervous laughter at the bizarre and ridicu-lous aspects of the unfold-ing story. The outland-ishness of some moments will cause an involuntary response of disbelief and curiosity at the very same time. Other movies I have seen that produced simi-

John C.Reilly, Ben Wishaw, and lobster to be Colin Farrell. Photo: A24

lar reactions from me in the past and that I would classify in similar vein as this production include the cinematic surrealism two of Luis Buñuel’s films, the 1972 release “The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie” and “The Exterminating Angel” of 1962. Also, the unusual John Franken-heimer movie “Seconds” of 1966. This offering does not duplicate those films, but creates that sense of unease in how real and unreal the movie seems at the same time whilst creating a powerful state-

ment about human socie-tal behaviors. The use of music in the

movie is remarkable, not only in selection, but in placement. A string quar-tet and quintet by Al-fred Schnitke, another by Shostakovich and works by Beethoven, Stravin-sky, Richard Strauss and Benjamin Britten, this is not a movie for those wish-ing a light entertainment. This is cinema as art with much to consider intellec-tually, to be followed by lengthy discussion with your favorite movie going

friends. Some scenes may be very uncomfortable for some viewers. This is not a movie for children. I found it a brilliant, yet odd social commentary.

da, claiming to be a Gypsy fortune-tell-er (and who is Leonard to dispute it ?) resides a few doors down from Leonard, holding paid consultations out of her room. Leonard has enjoyed a liaison or two with the full-figured Esmeralda but mainly they are friends, sometimes dis-cussing the paranormal and the ancient Egyptians. (The word ‘Gypsy’ originally coming from ‘Egyptian’, since Gypsies were popularly supposed to have come from Egypt).Leonard will sit in her room into the pre-

dawn hours, always with a room-tem-perature glass of Dr. Pepper, listening to Esmerelda go on about ghosts and por-tals and the Other Side, as she nurses a cup of jasmine tea. Occasionally, a bowl of ganja will be passed back and forth

(Historical Note: ‘Ganja’, presumably a Jamaican word, is actually Sanskrit for ‘hemp’.)On a particular Friday night, Leonard

completes his shift on the dot of eleven p.m., gets on his bicycle, and makes the trek back to the Atlantis. This time of night, Leonard could be running a gaunt-let of hard-luck and/or hard-drug “actors” (police lingo) along West Capitol Boule-vard, but he carries a Filipino fighting knife in the shape of a claw everywhere he goes. He stops at a convenience store for some beef jerky and potato chips, and strawberry licorice.Once he’s back to his room, he notices

that Esmeralda’s room is dark, so he set-tles in with snacks, a room-temperature beverage, and the television set tuned to an evangelical channel, very low volume (Leonard is not especially religious, but he finds these channels soothing). He might finally get to sleep around three a.m. and then wake up around noon, to a brand new day.

Friends and Families of suicide loss support group

The effect of a suicide on friends and family can be overwhelming. Survivors of suicide loss often state that no other loss has been as painful or confusing.In a group with others who have shared a similar loss, support comes from explor-ing, sharing, and clarifying feelings.

There is no fee for this group, funded by the Ladd Clark Memorial Fund and Suicide Preven-tion of Yolo County. 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Yolo Hospice1909 Galileo Court, Davis, 95618.

JuneFree suicide loss sup-port group starts in June Suicide Prevention of Yolo County (SPYC) will begin holding a monthly “Friends and Families of Suicide Loss Support Group” or Survi-vors Support group at Yolo Hospice beginning in June. The effect of a suicide on friends and family can be overwhelming. Survivors of suicide loss often state that no other loss has been as painful or confusing. Addi-tional feelings of guilt, an-ger, and sadness can create a complicated grief process. In a group with others who have shared a similar loss, support comes from explor-ing, sharing, and clarify-ing feelings. Since suicide grief can have an ongoing impact, individuals are encouraged to consider at-tending no matter how long ago the suicide occurred. There is no fee for this group, which is funded by the Ladd Clark Memorial

changed over the years? Alicia Sequeira Smith: The Festa is not as big as it once was due to the aging of our elders and families now spread out throughout the country. However, over the last five years the participa-tion has again increased as a new generation has begun to take over the reins and con-tinue what our ancestors be-gan and take great pride in being able to carry on the tra-ditions the Portuguese immi-grants brought with them and still celebrate today.News-Ledger: What is your favorite Portuguese dish?Alicia Sequeira Smith: The Carne de Espeto which is a traditional Madeiran barbecue beef cooked on spits. I also love the Por-tuguese Sweet Bread. It is the best and you can never get enough. We often buy at least 6 large loafs. News-Ledger: Why does the event include queens? Tell me about the require-ments to become a queen, how they are judged and why these two are being honored.Alicia Sequeira Smith: The queens represent San Pedro Association at Festas throughout Central Califor-nia (Elk Grove, Sacramen-to, Clarksburg, Rio Vista and Thornton). Queens are members of the Association and are chosen by the Festa Committee each year. The two queens this year, Senior Queen Julyana Lara and Baby Queen, Jessenia Velez are both from West Sacra-mento and are the great-great nieces of Antonio P. Pinto one of the founding members and the great nieces of Alyce and Camilo Cervantes, past Board Members.News-Ledger: I believe people from near and far at-tend the event; tell me about its impact on the Portuguese community throughout the Greater Sac region. Alicia Sequeira Smith: The event is open to the pub-

lic and is attended by both the Portuguese community from throughout the state and many members who have moved throughout the country come back for the Festa, as well as, the West Sacramento community. In California, the Portuguese immigrants hold two very different events: one is the Festas Do Espirito Santo celebrated by the immi-grants from the Azores Is-lands which begin shortly after Easter until fall. The emblems of the Crown and Dove are widely used to hon-or the Queen of Portugal, and serve traditional Por-tuguese sopas. The other is the Festas Padroeiras which honors a Patron Saint and is held close to the Saint’s Day as scheduled on the Catholic calendar. A statute of the saint is decorated, carried in the procession back from the church to the Festa grounds and is installed in a place of honor. San Pedro Annual Festa is held always on the last Sunday of June to hon-or St. Peter and Portuguese foods including Carne Espita and linguisa are available. News-Ledger: What else do you want to add? Alicia Sequeira Smith: Without the dedication and commitment of our mem-bers, volunteers and local business donations we would not be able to continue to pass these traditions on to the next generation. I am one of the younger mem-bers of the association and want to continue to keep our traditions of our family and our heritage alive and fresh within the community that opened their arms to our family when they came over from Portugal. I want my daughter and the young chil-dren of our members to have the same experiences we had growing up within this com-munity. To have a sense of pride and honor in what it means to be Madeiran.

brated with the same faith from which it started. News-Ledger: What’s your favorite thing about it?Alicia Sequeira Smith: Passing on our Madeiran (Portuguese) heritage and the importance of solid fami-ly values to our children and the community. There is a legacy that the original elev-en founders began to instill the Madeira culture in their families and share with the community of Bryte, Brod-erick and West Sacramento (West Sacramento now) that their families have continued to pass on to our children. Al-though none of the original founders are still alive, many of their offspring are still Board Members and Mem-bers of the San Pedro Asso-ciation. I am related to eight of the founding members through both my parents who met at a San Pedro Fes-ta in 1966 when they were 13 years old and have been married now for 42 years. Both my Great-Great Grand-father, Domingos Sequeira and Great-Great-Uncle, Al-bino Freitas were the original signers of the Articles of In-corporation in May 1952.News-Ledger: How has it
