Mayor Christopher Cabaldon was beaming as he walked through the bustling crowds on Friday night with his smart phone held high, filming the excitement and festiv-ities on Periscope.tv for the world to see. This is how the city of West Sacramento kicks off the holiday season. “The lights, the music, and Santa’s arrival is all wonder-ful, but the best part is seeing all the people of West Sacramento gathering here to celebrate. From Broderick to Southport, they all come here to common ground. It becomes the living room of West Sacramento,” Cabaldon said.The Christmas Tree lighting

event kicked off at 6 p.m. on Fri-day, Dec. 4 and was free for all to attend. The River City High School Combined Choir had the crowd dancing and singing to ev-eryone’s favorite holiday songs. Several booths, sponsored by local businesses and community service

agencies, were there serving free hot cocoa, popcorn, and cookies for the crowds to enjoy. Karen Zebron and Alan Lange

from the Yolo Family Service agency were passing out chocolate chip cookies and talking to people about the counseling and family support services available for peo-ple in West Sacramento. “We want to get the word out

that we are not just a building in Woodland. We are here in West Sacramento and available to sup-port and help families in need,” Alan said. “With dedicated pro-fessional counselors, we provide accessible counseling and mental health services to promote healthy communities for families and indi-viduals,” Karen added.Amidst cheers and flashing lights,

Santa arrived riding aboard Fire Engine 45. The West Sacramento Police Department Bike Patrol led the procession, escorting Santa in his iconic red velvet suit up to the stage. Councilmember Chris Ledesma

welcomed Santa and presented him with a large glittering Golden Key to the City we all call home. “This evening is always very ex-citing. In the 10 years that we have been holding this event, the crowds have gotten bigger and

people love coming out to share and celebrate the season.” “I think the tree has gotten big-

ger, too!” Ledesma said. Eager children happily munch-

ing on candy canes lined up quick-ly by the stage to get their com-

plimentary photos with Santa. Everyone’s favorite mascot, Ding-er from the River Cats, was there to oblige, as well. Inside West Sacramento City

Santa’s Fire Truck is Coming to Town!The West Sacramento Fire Department, in conjunc-

tion with the West Sacramento Firefighter’s Associa-tion, is preparing for the annual “Santa Run” through West Sacramento. With the help of many off-duty firefighter “elves,” Santa will be riding through var-ious neighborhoods on an elaborately decorated fire truck “sleigh” and handing out candy canes purchased and donated by the West Sacramento Firefighter’s Association. Additionally, Santa will have a pickup truck following his “sleigh” with helpers collecting any canned food donations for the needy.The West Sacramento Firefighter’s Association

would like to extend its most sincere thanks and ap-preciation to all those who come out to make canned food donations, as well as to the Fire Chief & City Manager, for permitting the usage and decoration of the ladder truck for this annual tradition.This year the Santa Run is scheduled for six nights

beginning at 6 p.m. Please note that the run each eve-ning is based on the weather conditions as well. If it rains on a scheduled night we will try to make it up the next week. The decision whether to cancel or re-schedule will be made one hour prior to the run each night and will be posted on the WSFD social media outlets Twitter and Facebook to assist families with their plans. We are looking forward to a great event and hope you can join us.Santa will be in the following areas on these dates:Monday, December 7th Broderick and Bryte area:

Santa and Mrs. Claus love to have breakfast in West Sacramento. This is your chance to have a sit-down with Santa and dis-cuss his Naughty or Nice List over a stack of fluffy pancakes. For the past five years,

the West Sacramento Chamber of Commerce has been hosting one of West Sacramento’s favor-ite holiday events, Break-fast with Santa. They have partnered with KOVR Channel 13 to bring two seatings of the brunch with Santa and Mrs. Claus to the West Sacramento Community Center, locat-ed at 1075 West Capitol Ave., on Saturday, Dec. 12. They will be serving tra-

ditional brunch items and hot chocolate. There will be Christmas-themed ac-tivities for children includ-ing: pancake decorating, the opportunity to mail letters to the North Pole, and of course, up to three complimentary framed pictures with Santa.Meaghan Perrelli, pro-

grams coordinator at the Chamber, is busy finaliz-ing all the details for the popular event. “It’s one of our most well attended

and fun events for the sea-son. We can accommodate up to 150 people for each seating. We usually sell out. This year, the first seating at 8:30 a.m. is al-ready sold out.” Some people on the lo-

cal community discussion boards were concerned about the increased cost of the event this year and how this cost increase may prevent them from attending. Perrelli ex-plained the reason for the cost increase, as follows: “Our costs for the event,

Santa Claus is coming to town: ‘Breakfast with Santa’ set for Saturday

including food and facility rental fees, have gone up significantly. However, we are happy to be partnering with KOVR to help cover some of the costs. We try to keep the ticket prices reasonable and have only increased it $2 from the previous year.” The Chamber does ex-

pect this event to sell out. Pre-registration is strongly recommended and all chil-dren must be accompanied by a paying adult. For more information, or to purchase tickets, contact the West

Sacramento Chamber of Commerce at 371-7042. This year the ticket prices are, as follows: Children under 2, $6; children ages 2 to 12, $10; adults and children 13 and older, $15. There will be two seatings, one from 8:30 to 10 a.m. and a second from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Mid Valley Funding &

Investing will be sponsor-ing the Toys for Tots col-lections. If you happen to attend the event, please have a stack of pancakes for me!

Family, friends and staff, students and community members gathered on friday night to dedicate the nam-ing of the science building on RCHS’s campus as Wiley Hall.The name recognizes the legacy of

Clare Wiley, a passionate and enthu-siastic science teacher who created the school’s Biomedical Sciences pro-gram while waging an eleven year battle against leiomyosarcoma. At the ceremony, family members

and staff related stories about how Wiley would use the medical proce-dures, surgeries and chemotherapy that she was experiencing as in-class examples to further her students’ learning about the medical field and the human body. According to her father, Steve Long,

who spoke at the ceremony, Wiley’s goal was to spark an awareness in her students that there are many opportunities in healthcare beyond doctors and nurses that can help peo-ple and further our understanding of treatments and possible cures for diseases that impact society.

Through hard work and perse-verance, Wiley founded the Bio-medical program with 22 students in her first elective class and the program has grown in popularity and scope to now include over 300 students. After enduring the difficult chal-

lenges of cancer treatment, Wiley passed away on August 1, 2014 and

is survived by her husband David and son Sydney.Wiley kept a blog to share her ex-

periences at www.wileybiomed.com and described her legacy as follows, “I’d like to be remembered as a teach-er who cared about her students. If they know that someone cares for them perhaps they’ll turn around and care for another.”

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 714-730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA-15-4840-CS. 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.

The first and second grade classes at Southport Ele-mentary were treated to a visit from the Seed Sur-vivor traveling field trip on Tuesday, November 17th. Through interactive games the young students had the opportunity to compete as virtual farm-ers, design a garden, view the water cycle, and even plant a seed to take home and grow.The Seed Survivor is a

traveling exhibit owned by Agrium Inc. a major retailer of agricultural products and services in North America, South America and Austra-lia. The purpose of the exhibit is to teach the next generation about growing healthy plants and the importance of agriculture. This exhibit tours the United States year-round. Lindsey Metheral, Agrium’s Pro-gram Coordinator said in 2014 over 100,000 children across 16 states and provinces planted seeds at Seed Survivor. She went on to add, “We want children to grow up to be healthy eaters, to be interested in agricul-ture and to understand where their food comes from.”Seed Survivor trailers

are being hosted by Cali-fornia Foundation for Ag-riculture in the Classroom (CFAITC). These field trips on wheels are avail-able in this area between November 15th - March 31st. CFAITC’s mission is to increase awareness and understanding of agricul-ture among California’s

educators and students. They are able to do this by providing free resources for students and teachers at www.Growing theNext-Generation.com.Southport Elementa-

ry was honored to be the first school in Yolo Coun-ty to have the Seed Sur-vivor trailer at our site. The presentation and in-teractive games helped to further our student’s knowledge. When asked what they learned from their time with the Seed Survivor, the 2nd graders were surprised about how little land is actually used for growing our food, com-pared to the amount of land that is, water, moun-tains, deserts, and cities. It also helped them under-stand our own plantings in our Southport Garden and what those plants need to be healthy. It was a great, on campus field trip for our primary stu-dents here at Southport Elementary. For further information go to seedsur-vivor.com.

On Sunday, Dec. 13, at 3 p.m., Dierdre Wolownick (formerly Dierdre Hon-nold), the founder of the West Sacra-mento Community Orchestra, will pay a surprise visit to the Orchestra’s annual Holiday Concert at the West Sacramento Civic Center, 1110 West Capitol Ave. Dierdre created the orchestra in

1990, after moving to the region from Japan, and conducted it for four years until 1994. Back then, she was able to afford a

house in the area and she assumed there would be lots of culture. But West Sac wasn’t a city, yet. “There was absolutely nothing. No movies, no stores, nothing,” she says today remi-niscing with the Ledger about her ear-ly days in California. “I started to take my kids out, but we’d go across the riv-er for everything.”So, she decided she’d do something she

always wanted to do – conduct an or-chestra. “I thought it was a great idea. So, I decided to just go for it. It is rare that I got to create my own orchestra, which is something I always what I wanted to do. It was a labor of love. I had to give up the orchestra, but it’s still going. It was a fascinating time.”Some early performances include

playing for the grand opening of the Best Western Harbor Inn of West Sac-ramento, a performance at the Crock-

er Museum, numerous City Council and Community events, and a gala performance in Sacramento’s Down-town Plaza. Sooner or later, after four years, she

was juggling too much between fam-ily life, work and music that in 1994, Dierdre left to pursue a full-time job elsewhere and the baton was passed to Gordon Waters, the Orchestra’s French horn player. Under his direc-tion, the orchestra performs several holiday concerts each year. While her main instrument is the pi-

ano, then the flute, she also plays the accordion, harpsichord, the clarinet, and guitar. In more recent years, in Carmichael, she played piano duets with Mason Jones (until he moved to Texas) in all the senior centers in the area. Playing for seniors, she said, was a wonderful experience. “(They’re) such an appreciative audience. We tailored our performances to their ages ... (to include) the old tunes, mu-sic they would know … We were very welcomed; they loved what we did. I would like to get back to doing that.”Dierdre, a recently retired professor

at American River College, moved into publishing while living in West Sacramento. Her books include the popular guides to the region for people with children, “Sacramento with Kids” (update next year) and “San Jose with

Kids” (out of print), as well as novels, several textbooks and various shorter works. Dierdre’s son, Alex Honnold, is the

world’s most famous rock climber whose exploits are described in his lat-est book, “Alone on the Wall” (Norton Publishers, NY). He’s currently doing a nationwide book signing tour. Dier-dre, also a climber, recently present-ed a slideshow and spoke about her adventures climbing Half Dome and other memorable peaks with her son at the Rocknasium in Davis.
