In memory of James Driver, a longtime resi-dent and musician of West Sacramento and graduate of the old Marshall High School, a concert bene-fiting River City High School’s music boosters will feature a reunion of his old music buddies, in-cluding former West Sac-ramento Mayor and Yolo County Supervisor, Mike McGowan; profession-al musician Mick Mar-tin; Tony Marvelli; Dick Leathers and Lou Freitas.To be held on Saturday,

Dec. 5, the event has tak-en the name “An evening of Music Memorializing James Driver” and will be held at the Black Box Theater located at 1075 West Capitol Ave. in West Sacramento. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with food and libations available for purchase. Concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Truly a grassroots, leg-

acy group of musicians coming together for free,

trying to help out the school, the band consists of many former grads of the high school (when it was named James Mar-shall High School), as well as local residents and some who work in

West Sacramento. The city of West Sacramento is donating the facilities; all of the band members are donating their time and talents; Clarksburg Wine Company is donat-ing wine and Jack Rab-

bit Brewery is donating a keg of beer. Additionally, Waste Management is covering the sound sys-tem, so all of the ticket sales and proceeds from the bar go to the band booster club.

Truly a community event, to date, 80 tickets have been sold and the goal is 300. Get your tickets now; it’s likely to sell out.Boosters parent Steph-

anie Ciesielski Gulcher, mother of junior drum

major Zachary Gulcher, discussed the value of the band program in relation to the growth of her son and the accomplishments it has made. “Mr. (Tony) Marvelli has

a wonderful program. They do a lot of competi-tions in various areas of the state and a lot of mon-ey we raise helps pay for entrance fees. (The com-petitions) help kids gain confidence in their abil-ities and they give us a rating as a band program in the state. We’ve been to competitions in Fairfield, Napa; this coming Satur-day, Fairfield again. It’s exciting for the kids to get out. We participated in the Vets parade in Sacra-mento, the MLK parade in Sacramento. This April, they will be marching at Disneyland; so we’re fundraising for members of the band who wouldn’t otherwise be able to par-ticipate. Also, there will be scholarships available because of this concert...

By Faisal KhanRCHS studentRiver City senior, Austin Roberts, signed a letter

of intent to accept a full baseball scholarship to play for the Hornets of Sacramento State University on Thursday.Roberts was a standout pitcher for the Raiders last

season leading the team to a second place finish in league play and an appearance in the playoffs. His fastest pitch that was recorded was 95 miles per

hour. Consistently, Roberts can throw about 90 to 93 miles per hour. Roberts also competed on the Best Speed Baseball

travel team where he got an opportunity to play for for-mer River City baseball coach, Alec Smith. Coach Smith was present when Roberts signed his commitment.Roberts has been playing for River City since his

freshmen year and although he has a college scholar-ship, his goal for the upcoming season with the Raid-

ers is to win a TCC league championship and advance farther into the playoffs.Roberts reminisces on his years playing for River City,

“Each year gets more memorable than the next…going back to my freshmen year…being immature…young…going to the man I am today…knowing that I have the next chapter in my life in college playing baseball…” Baseball, according to Roberts, is his main passion,

but he also plays other sports. He enjoys basketball and has made the River City varsity team.While competing on the Sac. State baseball team, he

is planning to study kinesiology, the study of the me-chanics of body movements. For all the kids that play little league in West Sac-

ramento and the junior varsity players at River City, Roberts message is, “…to keep pushing and try hard because anything is possible. I can tell you first hand…this is the biggest dream in my life…getting a good ed-ucation, to play a sport, and to do what I love to do.”

West Sacramento native needs your help(Editor’s note: The following account has been taken from a GoFundMe account that has been created to help West Sacramento native, 27-year-old Kharisma VanFleet, who has been fighting a rare form of liver cancer and has a young boy named De’Mantai. As an aside, he attends a West Sacramento school and she is returning to work at the McDonald’s in Southport.)

West Sacramento native, 27-year-old Kharisma was having bad abdominal pains. Her brother took her to UC Davis Medical Center to find out what is wrong; and they ended up staying seven days. After all the biopsies, MRIs, and ultra sounds, they discovered that she has multiple lesions on her liver, further tests were given and she and her brother were sent home. Early this year she was having bad abdominals pain

again, so Kharisma’s then-8-year-old son De’Mantai was left with his grandparents and his mom was brought her back to UCDMC and she and her brother stayed for five days. After all those biopsies, MRIs, and ultrasounds, they came to a conclusion that she most likely has some-thing called Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHAE or EHE). It’s a rare tumor that only affects 1 in every million people worldwide. Only around 20 cases are diag-nosed in America every year; the cause is unknown and it’s unresponsive to any known strain of chemotherapy, making the treatment extremely difficult. After the sec-ond visit at UCDMC she started seeing a new primary doctor where they referred us to Stanford Medical Cen-ter, one of the highest ranked hospitals in America. “We took the three-hour drive to Stanford from Sacramen-

to for her first appointment. We arrived and the doctor as-sured us that he will find a solution and he will work hard on her case, if that means surgery or a liver transplant. Three weeks later, we traveled back down to Stanford for a follow up appointment and to get MRIs done. During the follow

this MRI is highly import-ant. They take her back, get her in a gown and take her to the MRI room as the nurse begins to stick the IV in her arm, the lady runs back and yells ‘Stop. Stop’ and advis-es her to come to the front check-in area. As she makes her way to the front in her gown, they advise us that for some reason they can’t bill us the full amount and we will have to pay a down pay-ment of $10,000 and that’s just for the MRI that does not include any type of treat-ment. Of course we don’t have that kind of money and the staff advised that’s the only way to proceed with the MRI. She then went back and changed back into her clothes. The staff then pro-ceeded to tell us that insur-ance has not covered any of the treatment done so far at Stanford and we will be re-

ceiving a bill for the previous appointments. As we head back to my car, we sit in the car with many questions, sadness, and feelings hope-less... She needs help but we can’t get her help... The longer we wait, the worse she will get. She has a young son who does not know that his mom is ‘sick’ and I don’t want him to lose her, and I don’t want to lose her. I guess the point of making this account is just to see if people have money to spare to help with us for travel, medical costs, and medical needs. Anything will help... thank you and God bless.”De’Mantai’s adopted

grandmother, Kelli Chairez, said the following about her grandson and Kharisma: “I love him to pieces. She has a rare form of liver cancer. She’s still in beginning stag-es; the only thing they can

up appointment, the doctor said he reviewed the MRIs taken in Sacramento and that we need to do another MRI ASAP to determine if she needs to have a liver transplant or surgery, and he will call us the following day with the results. We head to the Stanford Imag-ing Center to proceed with the MRI as we arrive and get checked in, the staff at the desk inform us that her insurance did not approve of the MRIs and that it will cost $15,000-25,000 for the MRI images and they will send us a bill. “After much discussion

among my sister, my moth-er, and myself, we agree to sign the paperwork and be billed the amount because

do is give her a partial liver transplant. She has some good days, some bad. She had to move in with her par-ents and they’re as poor as church mice. I feel like she’s been jerked around. She had lesions on her liver and no one ever told her. She went from having two to five le-sions. It’s so sad because she doesn’t have a vehicle to get to her doctor’s appointments at Stanford. The family van barely runs, so her 18-year-old brother takes off work to take her down to Stanford. So there’s wasted time, gas, and money. She needs finan-cial help. She has to go back to work (this) week. She’s been on disability, making only $500 to $600 a month. She has a storage bill and a son. She didn’t want a Go-Fund Me; she was embar-rassed, but her brother did put one together.”

By Saba KhanRCHS studentSamuel G. Chen, a senior at River

City High School has been named a Commended Student in the 2016 Na-tional Merit Scholarship Program. Commended students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2016 competition by taking the 2014 PSAT/NMSQT. Chen has a GPA of 3.98 this semester

which according to him is the lowest in his family, highest being his older sister, 4.5. Samuel Chen is a very mo-tivated and enthusiastic student. After high school, he would like to

attend Stanford University or Dart-mouth which is a private IV League research college. He wants to be a col-lege professor for calculus. “Ms. Tan is the reason I’m interested

in math in the first place. I’ve had her for 3 terms and she’s a great teacher,” Chen stated, “My friends and my fam-ily, the people I care about the most are who motivate me, especially my mom who has been really encourag-ing and supportive.”In elementary school, Chen was

involved in the GATE program for mathematics. He passed geome-try in middle school and has been a member of the River City Math-letes club since freshman year. Chen said, “The first time I got a math problem wrong was in math-letes, I think it’s very challenging.”He earned a score of 2250 out of

2500 on his SAT. Throughout his high school years, he took four math courses; Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus AB, and AP Calculus BC, all which he passed with an A+.

As a student, many would describe him as a helpful and enthusiastic person. Junior Sheshneel M. Kishun, a classmate said, “He is very energet-ic. He is willing to learn new things. He is eccentric and humorous. He has a very positive outlook on life and a unique personality.”

(Editor’s Note: Following the article is a question and answer with Yolo Education Center’s principal, Alejandro Ramos.)The new principal at the Yolo Education

Center is Alejandro Ramos. Everything indicates that he is changing learning and lives for the better. Allen Young, a veter-an educator, says that Yolo Ed was once a battlefield of gang culture but that has changed under the leadership of Ramos. He also says the center has received a six-year accreditation and recent recogni-tion from Yolo County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Jesse Ortiz.Four schools make up The Yolo Education

Center: Yolo Continuation High School Grades 10-12, Evergreen Opportunity Middle School grades 7-9, Evergreen Op-portunity Elementary grades 4-6, and the Washington Adult School. All four help students who may have had trouble learn-ing in traditional schools. Principal Ramos explains some of the differences between traditional and alternative schools:“I think one of the biggest differences with

alternative schools is that we are able to meet kids where they are at, build on that strength, and take a holistic approach to learning. We have the flexibility to be dif-ferent; we’re not as scripted as a tradition-al school. We tailor the educational envi-ronment to take in the needs of the kids. Students come with a variety of needs and we’re able to work with them, support them, and get them to engage. The primary goal is for us to teach kids they can be successful.”The entire center staff is focused on suc-

cess. Staff meetings include everyone from the principal to janitorial employees. All Yolo Education personnel keep a friendly and concerned attention on every student, communicating concerns between each other whenever necessary. The Yolo High students I talked to did not mind this mon-itoring, indeed, they seemed to favor it. Senior Tanya Alvarez explained the dif-

ference in learning at Yolo Ed. “I think we have more communication with our teachers because of the smaller classes. Teachers pay more attention to each of us.” Another two-year student of Yolo Ed,

James, comments, “I like this school a lot better. Smaller, better atmosphere.” That atmosphere is not accidental. Behavior like bullying or ridicule are not tolerated, they are contrary to what everyone at Yolo Edu-cation is trying to achieve.Young explains the center’s new culture.

“A culture of family. In many cases, these are students that have been marginalized throughout the district, their environment, or the community. In many cases, this could be their only stable environment. We want an atmosphere of family, we want to make sure that this is their safe haven, and I think Principal Ramos has done a great job of doing that in the last year of change.”Continuation school perception is also

changing. Young stresses that there is no longer any stigma attached to such a designation, that every student going through Yolo Ed is as academically qual-ified as anyone going through, say, River City High School and that their graduation certificates read simply Yolo High School, without any disparaging wording. With such progress made in such a short

time, West Sacramento should eagerly look forward to what Ramos’ staff and students produce in the coming years. Certainly bet-ter learning, certainly better lives.

Question and Answer with Mr. Ramos1. Talk about your background and what led you to West Sacramento? How long have you work for WUSD and in what/if any other capacities?I began my teaching career in alterna-

tive education for the Solano County Of-fice of Education. My first assignment was teaching in a Vallejo group home de-signed as a second chance for incarcerated youth. The challenging yet rewarding as-signment reaffirmed not only my desire to pursue education as a profession, but also highlighted the power an educator has in redirecting the lives of underserved and marginalized students. I have been in education for 18 years, hav-

ing taught most of my seven years for the Los Angeles County Office of Education. I am on my eleventh year in school admin-istration. Prior to coming to Washington Unified, I worked for the Berkeley Unified School District. Three years as vice-princi-pal of Longfellow Middle School and four years as Dean of Students for Berkeley High School. I am on my fourth year here at Wash-

ington Unified School District. Two years as Assistant Principal for River City High School and currently working on my second year as Principal for Yolo Education Center.

2. What’s the difference between your campus and the River City High School—what makes Yolo unique? Student enrollment and class size are the

immediate difference. This allows for more direct interaction and relationship build-ing with students. Teachers get to know the myriad of issues that are impeding success in school and work on addressing the road block or referring out to outside support services. We have the support of a school social

worker that runs a girls focus group and a foster/homeless youth support program weekly. For outside agencies we provide a counseling room to work with our stu-dents. We currently have the following agencies that provide outside wrap around services for our students: Yolo Family Ser-vices, CommuniCare Health Center, Victo-ry Community Services, Yolo County Chil-

dren’s Alliance, Foster Parent Recruitment and Retention, Each 1 Reach 1 Alliance, and Chicks In Crisis. Yolo High School is fortunate to count on

a Career Specialist on sight that works di-rectly with students on transitioning them out of High School and preparing them for College or Career. He consistently meets with seniors to keep them on a path to grad-uation and works both in and out of the classroom with career exploration, college FAFSA workshops, Scholarship informa-tion, Vocational/Technical opportunities, community service hours as well as bring-ing guest speakers, while networking with other outside agencies for student support.Another significant distinction at Yolo High

School is the opportunity for students to re-cover credits. We offer online classes prac-tically in all subject matter geared for high school graduation. Students can work on their pace both during school and from home. A successful addition to our site is our

parent outreach. We currently have in-creased parent participation on campus not only through back to school nights and open house, but also through month-ly parent meetings both in English and Spanish sessions.

3. How does a student become en-rolled at Yolo? Most of the students at Yolo High come

from River City High School. Primarily because they are credit deficient and are not engaging academically. A significant portion of those that come from River City High are students that are overwhelmed by the size of the High School and need a smaller learning environment. To our cred-it we are increasingly receiving students electing to come here by choice. This year all but a couple of our transfers were vol-untary. A small portion of our students are transfers from other districts.

Q: If there was one message you’d like your students take to heart when they leave Yolo what would it be?“I want my students to seize the opportu-

nities available. I want them to be advo-cates for a positive direction in their lives by embracing their potential and seek out their dreams!”

notice to PotentialBiddeRs:

If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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

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 this property.

It’s only $25/year in West Sacramento.

We used to share most all of our things all of the time. Back before we became whatever it is America has become, paranoid and constant-ly consuming, compelled to each own one of a thing that we may use only once and then store in a dark corner. I bet we were happier then. We see this in less consumptive communi-ties and cultures today, and all the studies and movements are reflecting that we want to share, and it’s most efficient and sociopsychologically sat-isfying when we do. We see shared Zipcars, Portland’s Car2Go, AIRB-NB style home sharing, Cooperative Housing… and the timeless institu-tion of the Library. Sacramento Li-brary has its “Library of Things” at the Arcade Branch (a small selection of musical instruments, hopefully to have Tools soon). AND NOW, more conveniently located in the down-town, we have the region’s largest public library of musical instruments in Buddy Hale and Rachel Freund’s Library of MusicLandria.A few years back, Buddy Hale fre-

quented Berkeley Public Library’s “Tool Lending Library”. Being a mu-sician (currently drummer for local project “Deep Pools” fka Cove, while his year-long partner, in love and MusicLandria, Rachel Freund, is a clarinetist), the brain-seed had been planted to apply that successful lend-ing model to “musical instruments and other music-related resources”. Buddy moved to Sacramento in 2014, found Rachel and their 11th and S downtown apartment that currently houses MusicLandria, and enrolled at CSUS. Says Hale, “I decided to make MusicLandria my thesis and the fo-cus of my time at school. Studying business with an emphasis in Entre-preneurship has been a fantastic way for me to apply my class projects and

assignments to the growth and devel-opment of MusicLandria.” The MusicLandria Mission contains

the best of what we want our com-munity libraries to offer: Providing Instruments at your disposal (some prohibitively expensive, ensuring poor and rich alike can come together to ROCK) and “Musical History Pres-ervation” of non-mainstream musical technologies (analog synth instru-ments, folk instruments, etc.), pro-viding things with which to Musically Educate and Inspire. They have held several “Musical Instrument Petting Zoos” at ArtBeast and The Crocker Museum (and recent fundraisers for homeless-children-aiding Tubman House), where kids of all ages engage and are inspired by musical instru-ments they may have never touched otherwise. When I stopped by the Li-brary to donate an AutoHarp (“which I can go back and check out anytime” I kept reminding myself), I noticed a new looking Theremin... people go their whole lives not knowing what a Theremin is. It’s apropos the naming of MusicLandria references Ancient Egypt’s Library of Alexandria, erected to house history and grow boundlessly (a branch of which was open to com-moners, unheard of 2200 years ago).Bring MusicLandria your unused in-

struments! - they’ll store them, and you can check them back out anytime. Luthier/instrument-repair donated services would prove valuable to any-thing returned broken (although local genius Drew Walker reports an am-plifier he recently borrowed was clean and in perfect working order). And MusicLandria will inevitably need a non-residence shopfront, so any angel investors or donors of warehouse or storage space would be greatly appre-ciated. Get your Library card and/or donate anything you like at www.Mu-sicLandria.com, or contact [email protected].

Band is like a family for the kids. They go to each other for help. They sup-port each other, help each other. It’s a healthy envi-ronment for the kids.”The Dec. 5 event is truly

a labor of love put on by folks who grew up togeth-er and who continue to share their love of music, explained McGowan. “We want to give back to the community. Two gentle-man David Horowitz and Rudy Martinez, the first guy I knew when I was 5 year old—they are the producers of this show. They will do more com-munity-oriented music and art and mixed media types of shows to promote West Sacramento as an artistic and musical place to visit.” McGowan, the self-pro-

claimed “world’s oldest living garage band drum-mer”, spoke about the old-en days when his favorite band, The Rolling Stones, was on the Ed Sullivan Show; when the British Invasion hit American ra-dio and when he got his first opportunity to play in a garage band. It was a post Elvis, post Buddy Holly era. “The garage band syndrome was in full flower. Something about the small combos that the Beatles had, that The Rolling Stones had that made kids want to be a rock and roll guitar play-er. The songs were simple – 3-chord progression.” And it was also around

that time when McGowan had his first memory of James Driver. “One of my personal stories (of James Driver), they were just starting the band; it was ‘64. They recruited me in the band, but they said, ‘You have to let your hair grow.’ I said, ‘I have to check on that,’ and Dad said ‘No way.’ So, I couldn’t join the band. But I did it, and I started playing.”In good company for a few

years, they played togeth-er and performed at frat parties, teen parties and even church parties. “We knew each other growing up. Our roots in West Sac went very deep... Vocalist Mick Martin graduated in ‘67. He started out in a garage band. His group would practice across the street from (Dick) Leath-ers’ (home), so we had competing garage bands. There’s a real connection there. James Driver – he would come by and men-tor us. Even though he was younger, we looked up to him. He was also very helpful. He had a nurtur-ing kind of quality.”James, McGowan said,

“represented what you

could do if you stayed in your craft. Or, in the words of Mick Martin, James was ‘the one who inspired the rest of us to play.’”Born in Panama City

Florida at Tindal Air Force Base on Jan. 9, 1949, Driv-er graduated from James Marshall High School in 1967. After graduating he embarked on a lifelong career as a musician in various bands The Plague LTD, The Heard and Rick Harris Candy and Mr. D, there he played the guitar, wrote and arranged music. This was his avocation and true love. He toured with these groups from Califor-nia to New York, Washing-ton, Nevada and Hawaii. He returned to Southern California where made his home in Van Nuys. Over the years he enjoyed com-ing home to West Sacra-mento for family events and holidays and to visit friends. As a young boy he learned to build and fly model airplanes and after he retired he would go out daily to the flying field to hang out with his buddies, give advice and watch and fly the planes. He was also an avid golfer and enjoyed playing many different courses and he really liked watching the tournaments on television. His sister, Jean Sawitz-

ky, wrote about memories of her dear brother. In one such writings, titled “The Middle Years, she wrote how a friend of hers named Ray, stopped by the house to visit and he brought his guitar. “James was enthralled and fell in love with the sound of it. Mom went directly to Sears and Roebuck and bought him an electric guitar and small ampli-fier. The rest is history! His future set. Jimmy practiced his guitar and played with friends in our folk’s garage and living room. The group ‘Plague LTD’ was formed and they played at many venues in the Sacramento area. Ac-cording to T. Warren, the band’s bass player, ‘He only missed one gig and that was to take Susan Denton to his high school prom.’ The next group was ‘The Heard’ a five-piece band and finally the eight piece group ‘Rick Harris, Candy and Mister D.’ was formed. He trav-eled with these groups to Hawaii, New York, Wash-ington, Nevada and back

to Southern California. “In all he spent 32 years

having an avocation that he truly loved! He wrote songs, lyrics and arranged and mixed music and that was fun for him. After the on the road years, Rick Harris in a letter to James wrote ‘I miss your excellent musician-ship and brilliant ideas about arrangements and guitar parts. Thank you for those fantastic years.’ After James passed, Rick said ‘He was my brother for 50 years I can’t believe he is gone...“When he would come

home for a visit he looked forward to parties and get together at Mike and Sue’s, Becky and Rudy’s and John and Sharon’s homes. We had many family parties at my house and he loved this backyard. After a morn-ing ride around town to see what had changed he would come in and say to me ‘I’ll have two eggs over easy, bacon, potatoes and toast.’ I said ‘okay, okay!’ He was my little broth-er so I spoiled him when he was home. As far as we all were concerned he didn’t come home often enough.“One of James’ signature

Band:Continued from page 1

Band is like a family for the kids. They go to each other for help. They sup-port each other, help each other. It’s a healthy envi-ronment for the kids.”

The Dec. 5 event is truly a labor of love put on by folks who grew up togeth-er and who continue to share their love of music, explained McGowan. “We want to give back to the community. Two gentle- man David Horowitz and Rudy Martinez, the first guy I knew when I was 5 year old—they are the producers of this show.

They will do more community-oriented music and art and mixed media types of shows to promote West Sacramento as an artistic and musical place to visit.”

McGowan, the self-pro- claimed “world’s oldest living garage band drummer”, spoke about the old- en days when his favorite band, The Rolling Stones, was on the Ed Sullivan Show; when the British In-vasion hit American ra- dio and when he got his first op-portunity to play in a garage band. It was a post Elvis, post Buddy Holly era. “The garage band syndrome was in full flower. Something about the small combos that the Beatles had, that The Rolling Stones had that made kids want to be a rock and roll guitar player. The songs were simple – 3-chord progression.” And it was also around that time when McGowan had his first memory of James Driver. “One of my personal sto-ries (of James Driver), they were just starting the band; it was ‘64. They recruited me in the band, but they said, ‘You have to let your hair grow.’ I said, ‘I have to check on that,’ and Dad said ‘No way.’ So, I couldn’t join the band. But I did it, and I started playing.”

In good company for a few years, they played to-gether and performed at frat parties, teen parties and even church parties. “We knew each other grow-ing up. Our roots in West Sac went very deep... Vo-calist Mick Martin gradu-ated in ‘67. He started out in a garage band. His group would practice across the street from (Dick) Leath- ers’ (home), so we had competing garage bands. There’s a real connection there. James Driver – he would come by and men- tor us. Even though he was younger, we looked up to him. He was also very helpful. He had a nurtur-ing kind of quality.”

James, McGowan said, “represented what you could do if you stayed in your craft. Or, in the words of Mick Martin, James

that was fun for him. Af-ter the on the road years, Rick Harris in a letter to James wrote ‘I miss your excellent musician-ship and brilliant ideas about arrangements and gui-tar parts. Thank you for those fantastic years.’ Af-ter James passed, Rick said ‘He was my brother for 50 years I can’t believe he is gone...

“When he would come home for a visit he looked forward to parties and get together at Mike and Sue’s, Becky and Rudy’s and John and Sharon’s homes. We had many family parties at my house and he loved this backyard. After a morn-ing ride around town to see what had changed he would come in and say to me ‘I’ll have two eggs over easy, bacon, potatoes and toast.’ I said ‘okay, okay!’ He was my little broth-er so I spoiled him when he was home. As far as we all were concerned he didn’t come home often enough.

“One of James’ signature songs on the guitar was ‘Classical Gas’; he could really rock it!”

was ‘the one who inspired the rest of us to play.’”

Born in Panama City Florida at Tindal Air Force Base on Jan. 9, 1949, Driv-er graduated from James Marshall High School in 1967. After graduating he embarked on a lifelong ca-reer as a musician in vari-ous bands The Plague LTD, The Heard and Rick Harris Candy and Mr. D, there he played the guitar, wrote and arranged music. This was his avocation and true love. He toured with these groups from California to New York, Washington, Nevada and Hawaii. He re-turned to Southern Califor-nia where made his home in Van Nuys. Over the years he enjoyed coming home to West Sacra- mento for family events and holi-days and to visit friends. As a young boy he learned to build and fly model air-planes and after he retired he would go out daily to the flying field to hang out with his buddies, give ad-vice and watch and fly the planes. He was also an avid golfer and enjoyed playing many different courses and he really liked watching the tournaments on television.

His sister, Jean Sawitz- ky, wrote about memories of her dear brother. In one such writings, titled “The Middle Years, she wrote how a friend of hers named Ray, stopped by the house to visit and he brought his guitar. “James was en-thralled and fell in love with the sound of it. Mom went directly to Sears and Roebuck and bought him an electric guitar and small ampli- fier. The rest is history! His future set. Jimmy practiced his guitar and played with friends in our folk’s ga-rage and living room. The group ‘Plague LTD’ was formed and they played at many venues in the Sacra-mento area. Ac- cording to T. Warren, the band’s bass player, ‘He only missed one gig and that was to take Susan Denton to his high school prom.’ The next group was ‘The Heard’ a five- piece band and finally the eight piece group ‘Rick Harris, Candy and Mister D.’ was formed. He traveled with these groups to Hawaii, New York, Wash- ington, Nevada and back to Southern California.

THE 33 The MPAA has rated this PG-13Warner Bros. take us to

Chile with “The 33”, a dra-matization of the harrow-ing real life events of 2010 when miners were trapped for 69 days underground. The movie’s writers con-densed stories of the 33 miners to fewer individuals in order to make this story, with so many players, make sense for movie audiences. On what started as a typ-

ical day in the hot Ataca-ma desert in the north of Chile, 33 miners appeared for work on Aug. 5, 2010, descending into Copiapó’s mina San José, a copper and gold mine that had been harvested for 121 years. Shortly after they reached their workplace, a remarkable 2,300 feet underground and ap-proximately three miles from the mine’s entrance, the mine’s engineer, Don Lucho (Lou Diamond Phil-lips), has great concern about the recent shifting of the earth underground and the safety of the miners in his charge. He has cause to be. The mine begins to shake

like an earthquake, and two truckloads of miners hurry to a re-enforced ref-uge area as havoc strikes. All usual routes in and out of the mine are sealed by falling rock in all directions as the mine collapses in several places. A check of long ladder escape tunnels only reveal that the lad-ders were never completed. They are trapped under-ground, alive. Miner Mario Sepúlveda

(Antonio Banderas) comes to terms with the fate of he and his comrades in a most human way, telling them that the biggest slab of stone that has just sealed their fate is nothing less than the heart of the moun-tain, and it has broken. Three miles away, up on

the surface, the families and wives of the miners be-

gin to gather, demanding the mine owners tell them what has happened to their men. They have less than satisfactory results in get-ting information, so they begin to camp at the mine site and wait... and wait... and wait. News of the di-saster reaches the then president of Chile, Sebas-tian Piñera (Bob Gunton). The president dispatches the Minster of Mines, Lau-rence Golborne (Rodrigo Santoro), to travel 425 miles north of Santiago to Copiapó in the Atacama desert. Once at the site, he realizes that the men are still alive and trapped un-derground. Golborne calls on the best

resources and equipment that may be found at once. Andre Sougarett, played by the always interesting Gabriel Byrne, paints a co-lossal picture of a situation that does not bode well for future hope; The miners are in a five meter wide space. Above them, a mas-sive rock, 700,000 tons of diorite, or, twice the mass of the Empire State Build-ing has trapped them, and the only way to get to them is to drill though it. Even in the best case scenar-io, there is less than a one percent chance in finding them. Not a pretty pros-pect, further complicated by the lack of ability to com-municate with the trapped men. To make things much worse, something must be done below to prevent total panic and anarchy as the men organize themselves to meet their fate. It begins with determining what lit-tle food is available, and ra-tioning it.

Antonio Banderas is the driving force of the actors trapped below. Lou Dia-mond Phillips turns in a great performance for the part he plays. Mexican di-rector Patricia Riggen has created an interesting con-trast, taken from life itself, between what goes on in the depths as well as on the surface of two equally barren worlds separated by the solid mass of earth. Rig-gen insisted that the actors work hard to reproduce the sound of English and Spanish spoken with a typ-ically melodious Chilean accent. There, the actors had a great challenge, and most did not quite achieve it. However, this is a mat-ter that may be forgiven as we understand that this is a dramatization for a the-atrical purpose. The same forgiveness may be extend-ed further due to the fact that most of the performers were not native to Chile. Again, this is acceptable in this narrative, for the job of the actor, no matter where they themselves originated, is to make us believe they are what they are playing. The mine sequences were

actually filmed and recreat-ed in a salt mine in Nemocón, Columbia. However, some scenes were actually filmed in Copiapó and in Santiago at the presidential palace, La Moneda. The best and most realistic portrayal in the cast comes from Juliette Binoche as María Segovia, a passion-ate wife of a miner stuck be-low. She is the driving force of action on the surface, mo-tivating many to do what is right in the face of horror. Rodrigo Santoro is excellent in his portrayal of the Minis-ter of Mines, and completely believable as an actual Chil-ean, yet the actor himself is from Brazil. You also see a return to the screen for James Brolin, playing a drill operator, Jeff Hart, that does his best to get to the bottom of the mine. Many actual newscasts

of the event are shown or slightly manipulated to in-

clude the cast of the film, and recently retired televi-sion giant Don Francisco of “Sábado Gigante” recreates his actual involvement at the event for the movie, ap-pearing as himself. There is a stirring version of the Chil-ean folk song “Gracias a la Vida” sung by Cote de Pablo, one of the few actual Chil-ean actresses in the picture. The song had been written in 1966 by Chilean painter and musician Violeta Parra, who also sang it on record. The rest of the appropriate musical score is enjoyed with a touch of sadness as it is the very last score for the great film composer, James Horn-er, who died this year in an airplane crash. The picture closes with a special dedica-tion to him. Although the relations of

those on the ground and those under it are well handled by the director, she missed an important opportunity to share an additional aspect of this real story that I find most compelling about that ac-tual occurrence. It was the outpouring of affection and concern of the entire nation of Chile, along its gigantic length of 2,672 miles for the miners and this situation. This is mentioned in pass-ing in the dialogue of the president, but where were the scenes of a nation ral-lying to support the miners and the outpouring of love and concern that swept the entire country? These are the observations of your movie reviewer, a dual citi-zen of Chile and the United States. Beyond that, I found the movie to be moving, en-tertaining, and worth see-ing. Primarily because the drama is a human drama, and that is universally un-derstood. Viva Chile!

MY ALL AMERICAN The MPAA has rated this PGClarius Entertainment

brings us “My All Ameri-can”, an inspirational sports movie that champions the human spirit. There are not a lot of movies that do that in modern cinema, so this really was quite refreshing. This movie is Angelo Pizzo’s first directorial effort, from his own screenplay, follow-ing honing his craft in oth-er capacities on such mov-ies as 1993’s “Rudy” and “Hoosiers” in 1986. Here, his screenplay comes from the pages of Texas history, and is inspired by the real life story of a young man whose fight against cancer inspired the United States Congress to write the Na-tional Cancer Act of 1971, which President Nixon signed in to law, beginning the “War on Cancer”. The young man was Fred-

die Joe Steinmark, and two books have been written about the extraordinary youth with a positive atti-tude. The first, an autobiog-raphy: “I Play To Win” from 1971 co-written by Dallas Times Herald sports editor Blackie Sherwood. Now, there is a new book from the University of Texas Press: “Freddie Steinmark: Faith, Family and Football”. I have never liked football,

but was quite moved by this story of Freddie’s drive to be the best he could be in ev-erything that he did. What he wants most in the world is to play football, which he did especially well in High School in spite of the fact that he was not big enough in stature to meet the usu-al athletic standards. This motivated him to be the best he could be to reach his goals of playing the game. He developed not only his physique, but exemplary abilities in his studies, and a very personal and private Catholic faith. Strapping Finn Wittrock is

young Steinmark. You may have seen him in “Ameri-can Horror Story”, “Noah”, “Unbroken” or the soap

opera “All My Children”. While still in high school in the late 1960’s Freddie falls for his school sweet-heart Linda Wheeler (Sar-ah Bolger); she would stick with him through thick and thin. Together they dream of their future. You may be charmed by his politeness and peerless ethic. He’s noticed by Darrell

Royal (Aaron Eckhart) the coach of the Texas Long-horns of the University of Texas. It’s only a matter of time before coach Royal sees the possibilities of the undersized Steinmark and gives him a chance, on a full football scholarship. Freddie works twice as hard as his teammates to be the absolutely best that he can be, and excels on the field becoming the team’s rising star and inspiration. He makes wins possible for the team and runs down the field to success. As his dreams are being realized, an unexpected issue is slowly beginning to simmer as he begins to develop a pain above his upper left knee. He tries to hide it from everyone, determined to let nothing get in the way of his commitment. He remains a stubborn boy

and continues to play the game, often in great pain. Soon the agony is impossi-ble to hide and the coaches are concerned, yet Freddie goes on undaunted, to help the Texas Longhorns in the highly anticipated “Game of the Century”, the now famous 1969 game against the Arkansas Razorbacks. Freddie’s greatest battle still lies ahead, for follow-ing the game he is at last seen by a physician and ad-mitted to the hospital. Finn Wittrock brings

Steinmark to life in a way that might make most males watching, certainly myself, hope to achieve such idyllic commitment to excel in all aspects of life. His is a hero that most men would like to aspire to be, but perhaps riddled with self-doubt, they do not achieve. Steinmark is strong, loyal, loving, passionate, youth-ful, and in the face of his greatest challenge ahead, brave. Who would not want those attributes? This movie is made more

remarkable in that it is not a work of fiction, this was a real young man of singular virtues. It is interesting to watch a movie with the feel that major studio movies used to have in the 1950’s; where the young male lead seems perfect in every way, something moviegoers even then would dismiss, know-ing that “life was only like that in the movies”. Yet here, it is the story of a real young man that touched and inspired many lives. Other aspects that give it

that squeaky clean classic movie feel are the visual montages of multiple games in a short sequence, com-plete with passing news-paper headlines and score boards showing win after win. I just loved it! The fact that the story shows the young man’s Catholic faith in true historical context is also a plus. Movies today rarely show religion in a positive way, as a part of the depiction of the development of a particular character. By the same token, this movie is not pushing religion, but includes it in the context of this young man’s true story. This is yet another aspect that gives it a classic movie feel, and frankly I found that refreshing and wonderful.

LABYRINTH OF LIES The MPAA has rated this RSony Pictures Classics re-

leases a fascinating movie set in Germany in 1958, “Labyrinth of Lies” or its original title in German: “Im Labyrinth des Sch-weigens”. Thirteen years after the second world war

was over, Germany was on the upswing of recovery. For most German citizens things were starting to re-ally look very promising for a new future. That is un-til, according to this mov-ie based on real events, a journalist, Thomas Gnielka (André Szymanski), recog-nizes that a school teacher was in fact a former com-mander of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Gnielka’s observation falls

on deaf ears when brought before the Public Prose-cutor’s Office. One young punctilious prosecutor, Jo-hann Radmann, played by Alexander Fehling, who you may remember as a Ger-man soldier in the cellar scene of 2009’s “Inglorious Basterds”, sees this case as a possible way to advance himself from the low level entry work of traffic cita-tions that he’s been han-dling. He follows up with the passionate Gnielka, sur-prised and shocked by what he learns. He decides to take it on, only encountering brick walls everywhere he goes; from his superiors and others, including the head of his department, a sympa-thetic Generalstaatsanwalt Fritz Bauer (Gert Voss). Gert Voss’ performance in this film is outstanding as the experienced attorney guiding the way for young Radmann to reach his goal, yet doing it through the proper channels for maxi-mum effect. Sadly, Mr. Voss died last year in Vienna. This movie shows us the

incapacity for the German public at large, at that time still suffering from the tre-mendous psychological shock of war destruction, to believe the atrocities that were committed by the Nazis only thirteen years earlier. The German public in that era could not wrap their brain around that hor-ror. They refused to believe it. Many had no firsthand knowledge of these events, and the movie shows us that most thought that Aus-chwitz was some sort of a Polish summer camp. Once Radmann begins

hearing testimony from many who are reticent to tell their stories, he is shocked. He begins to build his case, and becomes de-termined to ferret out all Nazis still living in the country, as well as discov-ering the names of the as then unknown victims. It would not be an easy task, as the United States kept all records confiscated from the Germans during the war. After numerous failed attempts, he is able break down the resistance of Ma-jor Parker (Tim Williams) at the US Embassy to at last have access to the doc-uments he would need to prosecute the yet to be tried war criminals and murder-ers. He’s driven by his own father’s hatred of the Nazis and the pursuit of any lead that will bring justice and closure to a nation that can-not grapple with what had happened while that were looking the other way. Along the road Radmann

will find challenges he did not expect and truth close to home that shatter his own beliefs. This movie is outstanding, beautifully made, from the wide screen aspect ratio of CinemaS-cope, so perfect for depict-ing the postwar boom in cinema technology, to the settings with that modern post war European look of the late 1950’s through 1963. This movie is Germa-ny’s submission to the 2016 Academy Awards, and is in German with subtitles in English. To date, it is my favorite foreign film this year, primarily for the 2 great performances of the late Gert Voss and Alexan-der Fehling. Don’t miss it! In Sacramento at the Tow-er Theatre.
