Remodel in West Sac

By Monica [email protected]

As news of “turtle trouble” at McKinley

and William Land Park’s ponds hit vari-ous media outlets, Greenhaven’s very own turtle lady, Felice Rood, has been fielding phone calls for future turtle adoptions be-cause starting in July people can adopt a turtle by calling 311.

In July, construction to renovate the ponds will begin after waterfowl nesting cycles complete.

The city of Sacramento is improving these ponds by restoring them to serve as both park amenities and a wildlife resource. The projects are in the design phase; therefore, the wildlife constraints and opportunities are being evalu-ated continually and on a pond-by-pond basis.

McKinley Pond contains about 90 non-na-tive red-eared sliders that will need to be re-located during pond renovations. The three ponds in Land Park also contain red-eared slid-ers; however, they occur at a lower density than at McKinley Pond. Waterfowl also use both parks’ ponds and there is an unknown fish pop-ulation in each pond. It is anticipated that the ponds will need to be drained, cleaned and re-constructed as part of the renovation process.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife determined that non-native red ear sliders can’t return to the ponds. Only Western Pond Turtles can be returned and language in the restoration pond contract discussed euth-anizing the red ear turtles. Two years ago, Fe-lice said her club was asked to foster them be-fore returning them back to the ponds. Since then, it’s been deemed against the law, but for-tunately with the help from members of the Land Park Community Association Felice and

other residents, language has been changed to not include euthanize when referring to the relocation of the ponds’ turtles.

Felice takes issue with the fact that after the ponds are drained non-native red-eared slid-ers, the most popular turtles occupying the ponds, can’t be returned to their homes. “There is no reason for the turtles to be evicted from their home forever … My grandsons area all grown up and they remember seeing (the tur-tles) as children and the city council wants to get rid of something people have enjoyed for years and years - it’s just not fair,” she said. She also fears that in July, the baby turtles won’t ac-tually be saved. “I think the trucks that will be there will compact the earth so hard that the babies will not be able to dig out. Won’t there be duck eggs there too? What about frogs? The more you think, the worse it gets…

“The one good thing that has happened is I now have a bunch of new people to give turtles to me that land here after being found running down the street.”

Having adopted turtles and tortoises out since 1975, Felice thinks she may be the only legitimate turtle and tortoise rescue in Sacra-mento, with a rubber stamp of approval from the California Department Fish and Game. “My home is a hotel, hospital, hospice, or-phanage and maternity ward all for turtles and tortoises and there is no charge although if people want to donate, the money goes into the Sick Turtle Fund,” she says.

Felice has an adoption form people fill out and from that, she can tell fairly well, if they are qualified or not by their answers to the ques-tions. Dogs can and do often kill the turtles (as

to raccoons) and they are not a suitable pet for small children and should never be trapped in a fish tank. It’s cruel and they become very deformed, if they live at all, she says.

Rick Stevenson of the Land Park Volunteer Corps moni-tors William Land Park dai-ly and described McKin-ley Pond’s situation different from Land Park’s.

“In McKinley, they have the problem of collecting ani-mals. But at Land Park, if one (pond) is drained, the turtles will move on their own (to a different pond).” (Though others argue that turtles can’t move fast enough to get out of one pond and to the other safely, avoiding equipment.) Additionally, while volunteers at McKinley advocated for not deepening the pond, Ste-venson said they want deeper ponds in Land Park. “In sum-mer, when it’s so hot, when water is too shallow, oxygen it goes down and we get big fish kills. They’re completely dif-ferent situations because they are different ponds.” Deepen-ing the pond to add oxygen is not necessary, some argue since an aeration system is be-ing added to the pond.

While about 90 turtles have been identified in McKinley Pond, Rick said they won’t get a good idea in Land Park until the ponds are drained, though he noted Lily Pond doesn’t have any turtles.

Over on Duck Lake, the turtles sun themselves and Rick said he’s seen them vary in size from 3 to 10 inches long. He’s also seen a turtle dig a hole in the walkway inside the WPA rock garden and lay eggs. “I had never seen a turtle lay eggs. I didn’t bother tur-tle at all,” he said. “I have seen them on Land Park Drive in over a seven-year period and I picked them up, the ones that got hit by cars. Normally, they stick to the ponds. They don’t travel much beyond the rock garden ... They got a pretty good gig there. Nice big pond, everything they need. It’s good turtle territory.”

Judy McClaver, McKin-ley Pond’s very own Lady of the Lake spoke with the East Sacramento News about all things pond said currently lit-tle goslings are still full of fluff and she fears that they won’t be able to fly when the city

plans on draining the pond. Because some hatched on May 1 and it takes 16 weeks for them to fly, the July drain time frame doesn’t hold any water, she argues.

“(The wildlife ecologist) told the city council that wa-terfowl will ‘fledge’ by July. Well, ‘fledge’ does not mean they can fly, just that they are fully feathered.” Given the hatch date, 16 weeks after is closer to mid-July.

For three years, Judy was given permission to use a city park’s department boat to use to get around the pond to help clean it. But last Oc-tober, they took it away. “Not once have we had an issue with the boat...the issues oc-cur with those on the shore-line falling in,” she wrote in an email at the time, refer-ring to the drowning victim she found while doing rou-tine maintenance. Last week she said the island and water is getting even dirtier

Recently, Judy spoke with Fish and Wildlife because of the Migratory Bird Act Treat of 1918, a federal law that pro-tects migratory birds. “They don’t have a plan for them. They asked me what the plan is. and I said there isn’t any. I don’t know what they are go-ing to do, but the turtles have to be isolated for a month for quarantine before they can be adopted, then does Felice have a home for 150 of them. She’s not going to quarantine them, animal control is and they have an issue of handling period. so she’s looking into her resources and I am work-ing with her on that.”

The contractor’s price for McKinley Pond is $437,852. Arts in Public Places gets 2 percent of all projects done; parks architects get 25 per-cent of the project cost but sometimes it is lower depend-ing upon how much work they do. They are supposed to bill by the hour.

Neighbors nominated Judy McClaver, the ‘Lady of the Lake’ of McKinley Park, as NextDoor’s Good Neighbor Award, which recognizes all of her hard work. Last week, the announcement was made that she won the award and will be receiving at $100 gift card to thank her for helping make the community better.

Ever wonder what those green cages in East Sacramento are?

Have you encountered these green cages in East Sacra-mento and wondered what they are? Who put them there? And why?

The cages protect an important part of the transmission water main system: air release valves. Over time, tiny air bub-bles in water will collect and eventually form large bubbles which get trapped in high points within the water mains.

These devices allow the air to escape. If the air was allowed to remain, the air would eventually build up and begin restricting flow through the water main, eventually impacting the City’s ability to move water through the mains. The devices were re-cently installed in East Sacramento when the Department of Utilities placed a new transmission main in the area.

Although air release valves may not have been noticed be-fore, there are over 600 of these devices all around the City. A number of years ago, the regulations allowed for these devices to be installed in manholes when proper drainage was available, so the majority of them were installed with-in the street section below grade.

However, due to a change in the state regulations, all devices must now be installed above grade and above the 100-year flood plain. This regulation applies to any new air release valves that is installed, or any existing air release valves that is removed for maintenance or replacement. As existing air release valves are brought up to current stan-dard, more of these cages will become noticeable.

“Look at tiny Imani! She’s no higher than a lion cub’s knee!”

“Careful, Imani! Don’t let the meerkats stomp on your head!”

“Mini Imani! You’ll never accomplish anything!”

Day in and day out, the chil-dren teased, and Imani began to believe.

Every night, Imani head-ed home sad and ashamed for Mama to lift her spirits with stories. Th is night, Mama told her of Olapa, goddess of the moon, who fought great battles.

–Excerpt from Imani’s Moon, a children’s book by Sacramento author, JaNay Brown-Wood

Sacramento author JaNay Brown-Wood will be a fea-tured speaker at this year’s Black Book Fair, June 3–5 in Oak Park.

JaNay Brown-Wood has always had a passion for writing. She loves coming up with new characters and watching them grow. With the publication of Imani’s Moon, she has at-tained her ambition to be-come a published chil-dren’s author.

Imani’s Moon is about Imani, a young Maas-ai girl with a loving moth-er and a desire to do some-thing great. When Imani decides she wants to touch the moon, she works hard to reach her goal, even in the face of teasing from the naysayers around her.

Imani’s Moon is JaNay’s first picture book, though she has recently sold poet-ry to Highlights Kids and one to High Five, both scheduled to be published later this year. Published by Mackinac Island Press (a subset of Charlesbridge Publishing), Imani’s Moon was honored by the Brown Bookshelf for Black Histo-ry Month in celebration of children’s literature. JaNay’s book also won the 2013 Children’s Book Contest

sponsored by the National Association of Elementary School Principals.

JaNay spoke with the Val-ley Community Newspapers when the book fi rst came out about the inspiration behind the book and about children’s general love of reading.

Speaking about the char-acter development of Imani, JaNay said “Imani start-ed off as a male in earlier drafts. I had this vision of a child jumping to the moon. As I wrote more drafts and spoke to my older sister, she reminded me of the Maas-ai and we learned that the Maasai did these jumping things. From there, I started doing research on the Maa-sai, these people from Afri-ca. And then, these pieces started falling into place and this last piece was to switch Imani to female. And it just worked because the story as it was, was good, but making her female and giving her the name Imani – which means faith in Swahili – worked out great. I liked it better because we need more di-verse female characters that are overcoming obstacles for young children to see.”

Bullying, a much need-ed conversation, is a cen-

tral theme in the book as Imani learns how to care for herself and surpass hu-miliation from her peers. “Nobody believed her. Ev-erybody teased her. It’s easy for a child who goes through that to feel knocked down, to lose confidence. So I wanted to show you don’t have to listen to what they say. Continue to push on and do what is important to you. So I like that aspect.”

At previous readings of Imani with children at book signings and other events, JaNay said she is generally well received by attendees. “I generally find kids that are interested. They are en-gaged. They are listening, but also when I talk, when I read, my gestures are all over the place. At last Oc-tober’s California Capital Book Festival, at the end (of her reading) I would ask them a question. I asked them to make connections, and found that they are en-gaged and actually listening and internalizing it.”

In the future, she plans on bringing up the topic of bul-lying to older classrooms.

Speaking about her love of writing, JaNay said: “I have always had an inter-

Black Book Fair The third annual Sacramento Black

Book Fair makes its way to historic Oak Park this week. The three-day book fair and celebration will include a panel dis-cussion among four featured authors, book signings, talks by each of the fea-tured writers, cultural and food vendors, book discussions with each writer listed

in the program (80-plus), children’s ac-tivities, poetry readings and art displays on Friday, June, 3, Saturday, June 4 and Sunday, June 5. A full schedule can be found at sacramentoblackbookfair.com. Featured authors include: Denise Nich-olas, Frederick K. Foote Jr., Geri Spen-cer Hunter, JaNay Brown-Wood and Jay King.

est in writing and as I grew older I realized I liked writing for children. All the way back to elementa-ry and probably before, I loved creating stories, writ-ing poetry. So, when I was younger, I always had it in the back of my mind. I had all of these supporters, teachers who, I guess, saw my talent.”

For example, JaNay had a sixth grade teacher named Paula Welch at Ainsworth Elementary in Fresno who used to make predictions for all of her outgoing stu-dents. “Her prediction of me was that I was go-ing to be a best-selling au-thor who writes books, no joke. When the book came out this last October at my book launch party, I tracked her down.”

Getting the book pub-lished was a unique expe-rience for JaNay. Winning the 2013 Children’s Book Contest actually included getting her book published and getting an illustrator. “ I heard people talk about contests and I say, go for them because that’s how I was published. That’s how others have been pub-lished.”

The sprawling, weed cov-ered, undeveloped land was located near the crossroads of two rail road tracks. Bor-dered by Alcott Drive, 21st Avenue, Power Inn and Fruit-ridge roads, located in South-eastern Sacramento, the area was still considered, by most, to be an industrial area.

But, forward-looking housing developers could see the potential for a new neighborhood, as an exten-sion to the existing neigh-borhood. Bordering the proposed “Village” was the Colonial Heights (CH) neighborhood, which had been founded in 1910.

The CH neighborhood was a typical example of a turn of the century “Street-car Suburb”. Before there were cars and buses, the ef-ficient electric streetcar ser-vice, delivered by Central California Traction Com-pany, provided much needed transportation for residents.

Housing developers, con-vinced that there would be a demand for more houses to be built beyond the ex-pansive CH neighborhood, began working on the fu-ture housing floorplans. Servicemen who were re-turning home from mili-tary service after the war were looking for modern homes where they could raise their children.

The future “village” would provide the perfect location for a respectable middle class housing development. With the vacant land being of-fered at a fair price, affordable homes could be constructed to meet the demands of the young families.

The couples that consid-ered buying the new homes were convinced that their families would be happy liv-ing there, in Colonial Vil-lage. My parents, at the ages of 30 and 32, along with many other young couples, were confident that they could offer their children the “American Dream”.

After carefully reviewing the available floorplans, they de-cided to purchase what would be their first and only brand new home. It was a four bed-room, two bath ranch style house, with 1301 square feet, a brick fireplace, hardwood floors, a full length front porch with a picture window in the living room, a one car garage and a large back yard.

Media credential denied for Trump rally

Valley Community Newspapers wanted to cover the presidential rallies. We were at the Bernie at Bonney rally and Bill Clinton’s visit to Sacramento State in support of Hillary Clinton. The Trump press office, however, denied press credentials for the Republican nominee’s visit on Wednesday to Sacramento Inter-national Airport. The following is the message from Trump’s Press Office:

“If you are receiving this email, we are unable to cre-dential you for the event in Sacramento, CA on June 1st, 2016. Any name that does not appear on our list, will not be permitted to enter as credentialed media.

“With the abundance of requests for media credentials, we have to take proactive measures with our credential-ing process to ensure the success of each event.

During the 2016 Presidential Primary race, the Donald J. Trump Campaign fully recognizes and respects all me-dia but due to various venue sizes, media space, and safe-ty, we must limit the number of credentialed media and give priority to our national and local outlets. We appre-ciate your understanding.

For longtime local residents, the sight of the large, historic, brick building near the northeast corner of Folsom and Alhambra boule-vards conjures up fond memories of one of East Sacramento’s all-time most popular businesses: the Rose-mount Grill.

At other times in its history, the building, which is located at 3145 Folsom Blvd., housed Andiamo! restaurant and Good Eats market, café and wine lounge.

And this month, the building is scheduled to reopen to the public after a long vacancy as the site of OBO’ Italian restaurant.

Upon the construction of the building more than 70 years ago, many people pondered why the al-ready established Rosemount Grill would relocate from downtown Sacramento to the much less popu-lated and still developing East Sac-ramento.

But the owners of the business nonetheless felt that the restaurant had the opportunity to succeed at that site, and thus took a gamble that would evolve into a grand suc-cess story.

But before building upon the leg-acy of the Rosemount Grill in East Sacramento, the business spent about 30 years operating at 1011 9th St., near the historic city plaza – now Cesar Chavez Plaza.

During its early years at that orig-inal location, the Rosemount was among the notable restaurants of Sacramento.

Other eateries of that era includ-ed the Saddle Rock Restaurant at 1019 2nd St., City Restaurant at 425 J St., Peacock Restaurant at 1022 6th St., Eagle Café and Res-taurant at 810 J St., Columbia Grill at 503 K St., The Californian Café at 517 K St., Silver Grill at 1118 10th St., Liberty Café at 1015 8th St. and Palace Oyster Café at 1109 8th St.

While under the proprietorship of G. Lucich & Co., the Rosemount Grill advertised its holiday dinner special with wine for $1.25 in the Dec. 24, 1918 edition of The Sac-ramento Union.

The advertisement also recognizes that the restaurant then offered French dinners daily, and was open seven days a week and 24 hours per day.

The Rosemount expanded its size in 1922, but advertised itself as of-fering the “same prices as in the old Rosemount.”

Customers at that time could pur-chase dinners for $1.50 per plate. A la carte service was also available.

The restaurant was also then of-fering musical entertainment from 5 to 9 p.m.

Pete Valerio, one of the early waiters of the Rosemount, was also an early owner of the restaurant.

Many people who remember the Rosemount best also recall Valerio as the face of the Rosemount.

Valerio, who came to America from his native country of Croa-tia when he was 10 years old, was not only an owner of the restaurant downtown, but he was also one of the owners that brought the eatery to East Sacramento.

The business moved to East Sac-ramento during the summer of 1945 due to its crowded conditions at its 9th Street location.

An advertisement in the Aug. 30, 1945 edition of The Union notes that the business was then known for serving “only the best in fish, poultry, steaks and chops.”

The 470-seat eatery and bar even-tually became an institution in East Sacramento.

Among the locals who recall the early years of the Rosemount’s East Sacramento location is 82-year-old East Sacramento native Frank Ghilarducci.

“I probably went there for the first time in 1948,” he said. “I used to go out there with my family. The Rosemount had a great reputation. It was good food. Boy, I’ll tell you.

It was a combination of (food). They had everything. And it was extra clean and the people there – waiters and waitresses – they were so nice.”

Another longtime Sacramento res-ident Lou Coppola also shared his memories about the Rosemount.

“I went there (to the Rosemount) for the first time in about 1957,” he said. “We had many wonderful meals there. Their steaks were su-perb. They had some of the best meat. You would have wonderful steak and wonderful chicken.

“ They had those sit down booths with the backs to them. I remember sitting in those (seats with) the nice leather cushions and the big back rest. You weren’t sitting at a table with a little, dinky chair. And they had a good looking bar there to the left as you entered. (The Rose-mount) was a popular spot.”

Throughout the decades, the Rose-mount’s legacy continued to grow.

The “Dining Out” section of the November 1987 issue of Sacra-mento magazine includes a listing with the following words: “A pop-ular dining spot for over 70 years. Extensive menu with beef, pork, lamb, seafood and poultry. Mon-day-Friday, 6:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Sat-urday and Sunday, 11 (a.m.)-10 (p.m.). Full bar.”

A 1987 Rosemount Grill menu notes that the restaurant’s cus-

tomers could purchase a variety of food items such as grilled Pa-cific red snapper with lemon but-ter sauce, steamed clams or mus-sels with bordelaise sauce, boiled beef tongue with fresh spin-ach, beef pot roast with rigato-ni, a half portion of slipper lob-ster and breaded veal cutlets with cream sauce.

Pete Valerio, who had a wife named Dora, and four daughters, Dorothy, Edna, Leonore and Ger-aldine, continued to work a daily shift at the restaurant, working in the kitchen cutting meats and per-forming other food preparations, until he was 95. He died four years later on Dec. 15, 1987.

The Rosemount last served diners on Jan. 31, 1989, after its owners made the decision to close their doors for the final time due to the fact they were losing mon-ey, because of changing trends in eating habits.

The aforementioned Andia-mo! restaurant served custom-ers in the building from 1990 to 2006, and the aforementioned Good Eats market, café and wine lounge occupied the Folsom Bou-levard structure for nearly a year in 2010 and 2011.

With the upcoming opening of OBO’ Italian restaurant, a new era of the old Rosemount Grill building will soon begin.

Shimo Center for the Arts is pleased to announce our upcoming exhibition, “Dialogues”, by Chris Daubert.

Nominally in the realm of studio still-lives, the col-lection of Daubert’s oil paintings creates dynamic situ-ations where the viewers are invited to become partici-pants in the small dramas that are portrayed. Daubert paints multiple layers of transparent paint to achieve the textured color field, attempting to create a surface that reflects the optical qualities of sight itself. There are re-curring themes based on the energy of light, which often creates shadows and reflections that are visually stron-ger than the objects that cast them, as well as an appre-ciation of those unseen forces that affect our daily lives: gravity, time, and inertia. Hence the dialogues, simulta-neous meditations on and recordings of events that have happened in a small room.

Chris Daubert is an artist, teacher, writer and curator, residing in California’s Central Valley. He has exhibit-ed his drawings, paintings and large multi-media instal-lations locally and nationally for many years. His work has been shown in galleries and museums in San Fran-cisco, Sacramento, and numerous other locations. Born in Oakland, he was one of the artist/founders of the non-profit gallery ProArts. Since moving to the Sacra-mento Area, he has served as the curator of the Rich-ard L. Nelson Gallery at the University of California Davis, and the Gregory Kondos Gallery at Sacramento City College. He also served as chair of the Exhibition Committee of the Center for Contemporary Art, Sac-ramento. He is currently the Chair of the Art Depart-ment at Sacramento City College where he is professor of Painting and New Media.

Story by Monica [email protected] by StePhen croWley [email protected]

First Sac State, then Phil Angelides’ house on 13th Av-enue in Land Park: The 42nd President of the United States Bill Clinton took to Sacra-mento to shed light on Hill-ary Clinton’s attributes and past achievements as the Cal-ifornia primary draws close on June 7. Inside of the Uni-versity Ballroom about 1,000 excited people came to see the former president and later that evening about 300 peo-ple gathered at the Angelides home. The sold-out fundrais-ing 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 regarding the total amount that night have not been answered 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 Clin-ton 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 Mc-Gurk spoke with Valley Com-munity Newspapers regarding the “closed press” fundrais-ing event in Land Park, which she photographed. Included in the discussion were the fol-lowing comments: “Phil’s wife Julie provided the (Greek) food and their friend Joy pre-pared 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 photos show how excited ev-eryone 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 An-gelides has rolled out the “po-litical 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 mil-lion, one of the then-biggest political fundraisers to ever be held in Sacramento. Cher was scheduled to attend that event, but canceled after suf-fering an arm injury, accord-ing 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.

and happened to see prowas 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 pro-test, about 30 protesting for awhile... (Bill Clinton) waved at the protesters. 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 or-ganizer 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 out-reach and reaching the un-decided voters with Bernie’s positive 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 eco-nomic 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 adversi-ty, he said the country has a chance to rise together. “You need a proven change mak-er... The only candidate that has repeatedly gotten repub-lican support (is Hillary).

Opening the Sac State event, Assemblymember Dr. Richard Pan, a pediatri-cian, father and husband, ad-dressed the audience: “I know Hillary has been in trench-es fighting for children, fight-ing for women. She needs to be our president.” Hillary, he said, has been joined by ev-ery Asian Pacific Islander 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 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.”

Clinton:Continued from page 6

Undecided on who she was going to vote for, Shap Bahardar said Bill Clin-ton’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 dai-ly basis on positions she’s held. Very valuable things she’s done and that makes her pretty darn quali-fied... 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.”
