What follows is a question and answer with Alicia Sequeira Smith regarding the Festa and its cultural importance.

News-Ledger: Tell me about the importance of the event: Alicia Sequeira Smith: The San Pedro Annual Festa began in 1922 as a result of a monument that was built on Madeira Island in honor of Our Blessed Mother.

The monument is called “Torreiro da Luta” and is dedicated to “Our Lady of

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

By Daniel Wilson dwilson@dwilsononline.com At a recent school board meeting, several attendees were disallowed to speak about concerns over a current contract dispute between the Washington Unified School District and the Washington Teacher’s Association union, according 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 funding this year, the teachers are being offered a 2 percent increase, which would set the teachers in this district behind comparable districts in the area in terms of average yearly salary.

“It’s our contention that that raise is too small, given the increase in funding that the schools are getting,” Stauffer said.

While Stauffer couldn’t give an exact amount for the increase the WTA is seeking because of a confidentiality agreement, he stated the union is seeking an increase that is more

on the level of surrounding districts.

“Because of the recession, we went a number of years without any salary increase at all,” said Stauffer. “We’ve done well the last couple of years, but the school district has done even better. The context is that if we were the only district around, maybe that would be OK, but what’s happening is that we’re falling behind the pay that’s offered by districts in the neighboring area, including Sacramento County and related areas.”

Stauffer added that good teachers are being lost by WUSD to surrounding districts 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 thinking about, “Well, I could use that extra money.’ ” The district website’s negotiation update FAQ disputes this, stating a statewide 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 Communication and Community Outreach for the Washington 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 parties outside the negotiating 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-quality workforce focused on student success,” said the statement. “We believe that our employees deserve the very best compensation for their tireless efforts in the classroom and on our school campuses—it is also our fiduciary responsibility to ensure that we are able to sustain and maintain district-wide

programs while providing the financial stability needed to support future pay increases, benefits and pensions for our employees.”

Aside from the salary dispute, class sizes are also a concern for the WTA, but Stauffer said if the salary issue is resolved, the union will quickly wrap up negotiations regarding any other issues.

Whether or not this dispute would lead to a strike is something Stauffer said is always on the table, following a series of other steps that would have to take place beforehand, but that the teachers are mostly 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 Sacramento, 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 focusing our attention on our students.”

YOLOBUS Launches Yolobus Alert On 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, traffic has increased in the Sacramento Region and bus riders need to know if their regular daily bus is going to be late due to traffic or some other reason so they can notify family, their places of employment and their dentist if the bus is going to be late.

Like many transit services, Yolobus 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 website located at http://avl.yolobus. com to see where the bus is on a given bus route in real time. Yolobus LIVE is a more advanced tool and requires a smart phone with a robust cellular connect.

Yolobus Alert, is a simple textbased alert that a rider can subscribe 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 figuring out if and why a bus is late. All of our riders can use this tool.” Harold Anderson, Chair, Yolo County Transportation District and Councilman from the City of Winters.

Yolobus Alert was developed by Trandev, Inc., the company that operates 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 System” – Carmen Alba, General Manager – Transdev Yolo.

The Yolo County Transportation District administers YOLOBUS, which operates local and intercity bus service 365 days a year in Yolo County and neighboring areas. YOLOBUS serves Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Woodland, downtown Sacramento, Sacramento 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 public transportation systems. With connections to Unitrans and Fairfield-Suisun Transit in Davis, and Regional Transit and Light Rail in Sacramento, you have a wide range of options.

JMHS Class of ‘76 - Where Are They Now? The graduating class of James Marshall High School 1976 is planning to celebrate it’s 40th reunion 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 diplomas.

The reunion committee has been working hard to make this event something special for all who attend, and inevitably during their meetings the question always comes up, “where are they now?”.

West Sacramento’s best and brightest in the days of long hair and bell bottoms have become prosperous in other towns and states and countries. Through research the committtee found graduates live in places like St. Louis, 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, entrepreneurs, artists, clergymen, 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 celebration, JMHS Class of ‘76 wants you to share the fun with other Alumnis. 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 include appetizers, buffet dinner, dessert, music, dancing, photographer and no-host bar.

Go to www.RenunionDB. com for tickets.

Let’s Talk Bike Path

By Michele Townsend

West Sacramento’s Bicycle, Pedestrian 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 include 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 Sycamore Trail. Several pieces of land are being developed to create this trail. It begins from at the end of Rice Avenue behind Westfield Elementary, 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 previously fenced off and not patrolled.

They were unsafe and unsightly.

These easements are now being developed 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 residents 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 simply 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 Washington 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 elementary schools. It’s also a great way for a family bike ride!

With the BPT Master Plan getting under way, the City of West Sacramento held an Open House on May 17 and 18 at City Hall where they updated the Master Plan, talked about premier projects that are moving 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 existing plan, both upcoming and completed. There was also a blank map set up, and markers, for the community 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 manager (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 attending 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

Shown from left to right: Faith Grewe, Imani Greene, Brianna Staffler, Gabe Baker. Celebrating in the stands after receiving word of qualification for section finals.

On the Run for Success 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 explained that the city is aware and working on that, but that there are conflicts between some property owners, and the businesses that lease that property. Who pays for the bike racks? Who Maintains them? Who is liable? etc. Chris listened 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 townspeople’s opinions and encourages you to go to their website, or you can email Chris at ChrisD@cityofwestsacramento.org

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 level at trials in the 300-meter hurdle category and qualified 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 advance, 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 rival 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 Masters, 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 Williams, and my teammates,” says Staffler.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership 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 responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, 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 consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed 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 site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA16- 700867-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

By Jack Chandler

Along Industrial Blvd., past the Port of Sacramento, there is a plethora of anonymous-looking industrial parks (appropriately enough). Various signs, intentionally or unintentionally including the inaccurate ‘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 ?), sitting 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 clothing line store to pop up somewhere in the mix, just to break up the flow.

Consider the case of one Leonard Montana, 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 battleship 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

He was arrested for resisting an officer. The green leafy substance was tested for marijuana but results are inconclusive.

Reporting date and time: May 28 at 2:45 p.m.

Location of incident 800 block of Arthur Drive Victim does repairs on mini-bikes and owes money who came to the house on this date and after an argument stabbed him on his arm twice with a screwdriver causing superficial wounds. No further information available on the suspect.

Reporting date and time: May 28 at 9 a.m.

Location of incident: 2000 block of West Capitol Avenue Suspect broke the window on a trailer being used as a storage unit for personal items. The suspect stole $1,000 worth of antique glassware.

Reporting date and time: May 27 at 11:40 p.m.

Location of incident: Evergreen Avenue at Pecan Court Officers were dispatched to a female walking down the street with a large kitchen knife in her hand.

The woman was said to be wearing a dark hoodie and pants. Officers arrived and contacted her. She was detained and a large concealed kitchen knife was located in the front pocket of her sweater. The large kitchen knife was readily accessible for her to use as weapon.

Reporting date and time: May 27 at 9:15 p.m.

Location of incident: Jefferson Boulevard at Highway 50 Suspect maced and hit a victim on the back of the head with a stick causing visible injury.

The victim was transported to UCD. Status of the case is open.

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 periodically, 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 announcement is made over the sound system (indecipherable 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 Pakistani 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 parking lot, or other rooms, Leonard is unfazed.

His room is the last one in the row, so he only has neighbors on one side. EsmerelSee Widgets, page 8

Matías Bombal’s Hollywood The Lobster The MPAA has rated this R A24, the distributor that brings you the most creative and original films is releasing Greek writer/director Yorgos Lanthimos’ first movie in English, “The Lobster”. Far from what may be considered a traditional movie narrative, 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 allotted time or they will be turned into an animal of their choice. If individuals 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 resembles a sanitarium. This is the last chance for anyone to find a partner, which may be either a male and female or same sex partnership, 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. Other 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 director’s conjuring are punished by society and thus, this movie becomes a biting 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 distant monotone and lifeless 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 encounters 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 ridiculous aspects of the unfolding story. The outlandishness 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 Frankenheimer 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 societal behaviors.

The use of music in the movie is remarkable, not only in selection, but in placement. A string quartet and quintet by Alfred Schnitke, another by Shostakovich and works

by Beethoven, Stravinsky, Richard Strauss and Benjamin Britten, this is not a movie for those wishing a light entertainment.

This is cinema as art with much to consider intellectually, to be followed by lengthy discussion with your favorite movie going

da, claiming to be a Gypsy fortune-teller (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 discussing 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 predawn hours, always with a room-temperature glass of Dr. Pepper, listening to Esmerelda go on about ghosts and portals and the Other Side, as she nurses a cup of jasmine tea. Occasionally, a bowl of ganja will be passed back and forth

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.

(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 gauntlet of hard-luck and/or hard-drug “actors” (police lingo) along West Capitol Boulevard, 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 settles 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.

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 exploring, sharing, and clarifying feelings. Individuals are encouraged to consider attending no matter how long ago the suicide occurred.

The group meets monthly at Yolo Hospice. There is no fee for this group, funded by the Ladd Clark Memorial Fund and Suicide Prevention of Yolo County. 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Yolo Hospice 1909 Galileo Court, Davis, 95618.

June Free suicide loss support group starts in June Suicide Prevention of Yolo County (SPYC) will begin holding a monthly “Friends and Families of Suicide Loss Support Group” or Survivors 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. Additional feelings of guilt, anger, and sadness can create a complicated grief process.

In a group with others who have shared a similar loss, support comes from exploring, sharing, and clarifying feelings. Since suicide grief can have an ongoing impact, individuals are encouraged to consider attending no matter how long ago the suicide occurred.

There is no fee for this group, which is funded by the Ladd Clark Memorial Continued on page 12

Bryte: Continued from page 1

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 family values to our children and the community. There is a legacy that the original eleven founders began to instill the Madeira culture in their families and share with the community of Bryte, Broderick and West Sacramento (West Sacramento now) that their families have continued to pass on to our children. Although none of the original founders are still alive, many of their offspring are still Board Members and Members of the San Pedro Association. I am related to eight of the founding members through both my parents who met at a San Pedro Festa in 1966 when they were 13 years old and have been married now for 42 years.

Both my Great-Great Grandfather, Domingos Sequeira and Great-Great-Uncle, Albino Freitas were the original signers of the Articles of Incorporation in May 1952.

News-Ledger: How has it

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 participation has again increased as a new generation has begun to take over the reins and continue what our ancestors began and take great pride in being able to carry on the traditions the Portuguese immigrants 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 Portuguese 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 requirements 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 California (Elk Grove, Sacramento, 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 Sacramento 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 attend 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 immigrants from the Azores Islands which begin shortly after Easter until fall. The emblems of the Crown and Dove are widely used to honor the Queen of Portugal, and serve traditional Portuguese 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 honor 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 members, 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 members 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 children of our members to have the same experiences we had growing up within this community. To have a sense of pride and honor in what it means to be Madeiran.
