Bio Debra Hemmer is a graduate of San Joaquin Delta College (AA degree in journalism) and the University of the Pacific, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English--Communication Arts. She likes to provide inspiration to people and wrote a short "meditation" for the devotional booklet "The Upper Room" that was published and then published again a book "100 Meditations for Advent and Christmas", by Upper Room Books in 1994. The title is: "Do You Love Jesus?" It is about the real experience of a little girl who loudly proclaimed her love for Jesus in a large department store during a Christmas season. She became a student again at San Joaquin Delta College's Radio-Television Department in 2010 where Debra became involved with projects that were broadcast on a local Comcast station, including an interview with the Mayor of Stockton, Ann Johnston. She won the award for "Best News Reporter" at the Delta College Mediafest for that interview. She also became involved with radio broadcasts and created a radio show to reach out to our community with hope and encouragement called "A Brighter Day and Hope for Tomorrow" and two of those shows were also broadcast on the Comcast television channel. When the professor in charge of that department decided to create a radio station for the entire community, Debra Hemmer continued to produce/host radio shows that were eventually heard on real FM radio. One of those shows was funded by a grant from the Stockton Arts Commission "The Stockton Arts Show" that she was asked to create, produce and host by the professor. Many wonderful guests came on who were working in various areas of the arts, both at the college and in our community, including the Maestro of the Stockton Symphony, Peter Jaffe. This was also true for the other radio shows, although not funded in that way, including "A Brighter Day and Hope for Tomorrow" and "It's Time for the Ladies!" , a show for the women of Stockton. Before that Debra was part of a group/ensemble show with other ladies that was called "Delta's View". Several of us won alumni awards for doing that show. She was also given an alumni award personally, for another program and a "Certificate of Appreciation" for my efforts to help get the radio station on the air for the community and my "dedication to the Delta College Radio-Television Department". This included appreciation for the original plays that she wrote for a radio program that became "Radio Theater" or "KWDC Radio Theater" Many of those plays were very inspirational. She also enjoy music composing and created a song called "Stockton True", meant to be an anthem or tribute to Stockton, with assistance from two local musicians. It has been a challenging time for many people and she hopes to continue to reach out in ways that will give hope, strength and encouragement to those who are in need of it. When Debra does that, she also feels uplifted.
