Name: Cheyenne Bart. Age: 43. Family: I’m a mother of three sons. Residence: Gridley. Occupation: Veterans of Foreign Wars District 15 Commander (US Navy Veteran).

What’s your walk-up introducti­on music? “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen.

Hobbies, interests: In addition to preserving our Constituti­on of the U.S. and advocating for and assisting needy veterans: cooking, gardening, playing music (guitar, piano, accordion), dogs, knitting, boxing, and grappling.

What brought you to the Yuba-sutter area? Olivehurst VFW Post 4095. They’ve been very active in the community and our number one supporter of the Women’s (veterans) Tent that will be at the Yuba-sutter Veterans Stand Down.

What do you like about the Yuba-sutter area? Yuba and Sutter sheriff’s. I haven’t met them face to face yet, but I follow them on Facebook and admire all they do for the community and they are not afraid to be patriotic.

Where would you like to retire to/live for a year? I’d like to check out Maine.

Dream vacation: Italy and the French Riviera.

What would you do with a million dollars? Pay off debts and take the rest to open a housing complex specifical­ly for homeless women veterans with or without children. I’d probably need more than a million dollars, but I would like to bring in case managers, real counselors, and life coaches to help women regain their confidence and have successful lives while being self-reliant role models for their children and other women who are struggling.

Favorite memory to share: Having my hand raised in the octagon!

Veterinari­an, military, President of the United States (POTUS), interprete­r...in that order.

Favorite places in the area: I love watching the ducks at Ellis Lake until the geese crash the party.

Dream job: anything that makes a positive difference in lives.

VFW Life Member (Olivehurst VFW Post 4095), American Legion annual member. Pet peeve: Fake excuses. What do you like about yourself? Tenacity.

I am able to see the beauty wherever I’m at. Having faith in God and a positive attitude saves travel expenses on escaping to find the happiness.

Favorite book: Stephen King.

What movie stops you while flipping through the TV channels? Not interested in cable, movies, or channel flipping.

Favorite musical group/ sports team: Nirvana and Cranberrie­s. I’m not into sports outside of Mixed Martian Arts, or MMA. Even with MMA, I prefer to only watch fights of people I know. “Cell” by
