Capitol Chat Listen back to a year-in-review
audio montage of the events that shaped California politics in
2012. Then, host Beth Ruyak and Capitol Bureau Chief Ben
Adler look back at other events during the year and ahead to
2013.
Memories of McClatchy Library We expect
libraries to house books--not produce them. But the Ella K. McClatchy Library in Sacramento has
recently published "Memories of McClatchy Library," a rich
collection of memories from the early 1940s to current times. The
book is a compilation of 41 authors, with five editors, and began
as a cookbook. We'll talk with the Friends of McClatchy Library
President and newsletter editor, both members of the editing
committee.
"Foam" UC Davis brewer Charlie Bamforth has
released the first book in what he plans to be a six-volume series,
"The Practical Guides for Beer Quality." It's intended to help
brewers, retailers and consumers. We'll talk with Bamforth about
"Foam." (This segment originally aired May 17, 2012)
High School Music Exchange The Rio Americano Band
Program has a long history of top-notch music. They've
played their music around the world, attained national recognition,
and congratulated fellow trombonist Michael Wang as he received the coveted Presidential Scholarship from the Berklee College
of Music. They've done this, and much more, under the
direction of Mr. Josh Murray and Mr. Max Kiesner, and are now
performing in Sacramento alongside Chatswood High School band members.
(That's Chatswood, as in a subarb of Sydney, Australia.)
We're joined today by director Josh Murray and students of both Rio
Americano and Chatswood today to discuss the fun and success of
their long journey.
