Fresno Flyer Vol 2 No 5 by Fresno Flyer

EDITOR’S NOTE The world is on fire. Literally and figuratively. Every time I open my web browser and log in to social media, it’s an onslaught of priceless moments that drive my hand to my forehead. Facepalms. Over and over and over. The news of the Trump administration rescinding DACA just came in a few hours before I sat down to write this. The entire west coast is experiencing the largest wild fires in history, and a whole metropolis is submerged in flood waters after a devastating hurricane, yet this is where our government chooses to focus its energy. It’s the undocumented children in this country who deserve to be in the cross hairs of public policy? No. Incorrect. Wrong. I’ve said more than a few times that we’re not a publication that dabbles in politics, rather we leave that to the big guys unless it hits too close to home. It’s only in those rare occasions that we decide to dip our big toe into the political mix. But the more I watch the news and see the enormous good will of the people rising together to fight the odds, pulling even the tiniest of stranded animals out of harm’s way I realize it’s all of us together... the whole country is our home.

These issues affect us all, and we should all be talking about it. There is no leaving it to ‘the big guys.’ Now, this is not my attempt at changing the face and purpose of the Flyer. Rather, this is just an editor’s realization that in some ways, we (the people) leave significant issues, policy, law, government plans, we pay it no mind, doing nothing more than assembling a wellformed opinion, and letting the professionals handle the rest. They’ve got it under control. Looking at the current state of affairs, I don’t think they do. My voice. Your voice. We all have to start talking, listening, and paying very close attention. The age of complacency needs to see its end, and the age of active participation needs to begin. When something is wrong, and we know it in our heart of hearts, then we need to find the energy to pull our heads from the sand and say so. No more playing neutral, we’re not Switzerland. Find ways to get involved, go out of your way and make an effort to participate in something that makes a difference. Feel passionate about something other than Game of Thrones because the world is on fire, and how much longer before it’s all ashes?

HEART OF DOWNTOWN by Lisa Talley lisa@fresnoflyer.com

steady ‘click-clack’ of heels chirp across the 3rd floor of the Pacific Southwest Building as Sandra Chaires charges into the umpteenth hour of her shift. Her phone is buzzing with phone calls, emails, texts, social media alerts, and timers, but a member of the Workspace floor has a question. Chaires, with remarkable warmth and patience, stops mid-stride to address one of the many conundrums that occur throughout a typical day. “I think my primary job overall is to make people happy,” Chaires says in all honesty. A hair second later, she also laughs in response to her statement, as if to feel the weight of that expectation and reflect on her own sanity in shouldering such a large responsibility. Located in Downtown Fresno, the Pacific Southwest Building is 16 floors with four live venues: The Banker’s Ballroom, The Vault, Workspace, and The Lofts; complete with revolving events, numerous members and tenants complete with changing and ongoing needs, all while the entire building receives various degrees of reconstruction. Sandra is at the center of it all. Like a network gateway, Chaires is the hub through which information passes and multiple tasks funneled. Each venue with every available phone number and email are routed directly to Sandra. “I handle the lofts, anything

to do with the tenants [along with] PR, marketing, showings, new contracts… Same goes for Workspace. The Ballroom and The Vault, I coordinate events, PR, marketing, scheduling… And I make sure all of them are tidy...” Chaires pauses, looking for a different word to accurately describe this thought, and with a smirk she finds it. “I make sure everything is ‘pretty.’” It’s a lighthearted way to depict how the Pacific Southwest Building always seems to feel so inviting. Aside from the usual comforts of an always stocked bathroom, clean floors, and spotless windows, it’s a fresh pot of coffee every few hours on the Workspace floor. It’s hints of vanilla nestled in the confines of the elevators and hallways, and the knack for always remembering everyone’s name. “We’re a business, and we can’t run a business without making sure everyone who comes to the building has a good experience,” says Chaires. Although the grace of well-placed hospitality is a great way to ensure that a guest does have a good experience, the building handles some of that work by itself. Built in 1925, the Pacific Southwest Building has a charm that’s difficult to ignore. Original Cherrywood doors, the intricate art deco high-rise ceiling of the ballroom, open concept designs with exposed walls and ceilings on the redeveloped floors, and of

The Banker’s Ballroom

course, the view. Those who exhibit even the slightest fear of heights leave their dread behind and welcome the only thing left to take its place, awe. The tall, broad windows hold the city close to the viewer, seemingly close enough to touch. There’s something about engulfing so much of downtown at one time - bustling, growing, changing - that it makes the landscape feel all the more intimate. It instills a notion that there is a heart, not just in this city, but within the entire valley. The impact of that view and the first impression it made is half of what sold Sandra Chaires into taking on her complex role some 2 ½ years ago. The other responsible half was the vision the Katchadourian brothers have for the building. “I immediately fell in love with the view, and I was in love with the building. But not only that but [Sevak] talked about what the building could be and their plan for the future… [the brothers] believe in the potential and believe that we [the building] can be restored to our original glory,” shares Sandra.

Pacific Southwest Building - est. 1925

Purchased in 2011 Serko and Sevak Katchadourian did a core evaluation of the building and decided it was going to be a mixed space – not just endless floors of offices – that would allow people to live, work, and play in the Pacific Southwest Building. The plan is to develop this over the course of 3 phases. Phase 1 is available now and near completion with The Banker’s Ballroom, The Vault, and the newly incorporated Workspace. Each venue exists on their own floors with The Banker’s Ballroom on the first floor for events ranging from weddings and Quinceaneras to fundraisers and costume parties. Beneath the ballroom

‘downtown’ cont’d from pg 3... is, as Chaires puts it, the underused venue: The Vault. Smaller than the ballroom, The Vault is a more informal setting with a bar, pool table, foosball table, a small stage for a DJ or live band, and a mini-movie theater. Formerly the Security Bank building, the Pacific Southwest Building has kept some things from its former life, like the giant bank vault. However, aside from the classic vault door, not much remains the same. Large, reclining leather seats fill most of the room facing a large flat screen TV. Speakers mounted on the surface of the walls, completing the theater. The Vault, too, is used for a variety of events from birthday parties and general events, to small weddings and receptions. Workspace is the newest addition to the building that required an entire overhaul to the 3rd floor. In a nut shell, it’s a shared office environment where entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small businesses can incubate without the hefty fees that often accompany individual commercial spaces. Those who utilize the floor for a small fee are referred to as ‘members,’ and members have access to things they normally wouldn’t if they were on their own. For starters, an office located in the Pacific Southwest Building, 24/7 finger-print access, and security cameras. But the real gem of Workspace is in the aesthetics. Wide open windows provide natural light, adjustable standing desks for healthier working situations, and décor handpicked for encouraging professionalism, productivity, and creativity. It’s also where you’ll find Sandra on most days, ready to tackle your questions. Phase 2 of the building includes adding more lofts to the upper floors.

South facing side of Workspace on the 3rd floor - the space also features a conference room, private office spaces, and a lounge area.

Installed by Sandra King, the former owner of the building, the Katchadourian brothers plan to expand on her idea and dedicate more space for tenants. There are also plans to incorporate a café into the 2nd floor next to the Loft Salon. Phase 3… well, that’s up to the people. Chaires elaborates by stating, “Yes, we are one building, but we’re mainly real estate. The goal is not to bring in our own businesses. We do have the Banker’s Ballroom, The Vault, The Lofts, and Workspace but that’s it. The vision is to make the building open to the public, where other people can come in and realize

their own dream; be it a bar, restaurant, or other business.” Also, according to Chaires, the Katchadourian brothers are one of very few investors in Fresno who is doing their investing 100% on their own dime. Reconstruction, development, it’s all taking place out of pocket without the assistance of grants or funds from the city or state. Sevak and Serko have enormous faith in Fresno, the kind usually only found in Fresnans, not bad for a couple of Angelinos. (that’s LA residents for you layman’s folk) But the entire journey of the building and its successes aren’t owed to the Katchadourians alone. Chaires is the first to admit that the whole of the Pacific Southwest Building team plays a vital role in providing the momentum to furthering the forward progression of the building. “We have a new guy, Victor, who just started maintenance. Sometimes, he gets frustrated saying ‘I’m just cleaning toilets all day.’ And I say ‘Victor; your job is just as important as mine.’ And I feel that way about all of us that run the Pacific Southwest Building.’ We couldn’t do our jobs without [each other],” she shares.

Even so, there’s still a long road ahead. The building is in a state of evolution, as it finds its new purpose in the center of downtown Fresno. The team is still learning how this is all going to work and where the building will fit with all the revitalization happening in downtown. They’ll need more foot traffic from the public to fully understand how to shape themselves. Anticipation is high for the Fulton Street Grand Opening on October 21st, where the building, of course, will be hosting 2 VIP parties. “Craig Scharton of the Downtown Fresno Partnership once said that the Pacific Southwest Building is the heart of downtown. When the [Fulton] street opens, we’re going to start beating, and there won’t be any stopping us.” --Follow the Pacific Southwest Building on social media for upcoming events.

Cycling & Menstruation Bike LIFE: ... Who Cares? by Edna Pedroza | Graphic Designer edna.o.pedroza@gmail.com

enstruation. Why is this such a taboo subject? Let’s face it, all women go through it, and they have been going through it since the beginning of time. It helps to ensure that the human race has a future, so why does menstruation have to be such an awkward conversation? Let’s start with our young girls as an example (as relayed to me by my 13-yearold niece). Teenagers spend most of their days in a classroom and are required to ask for permission to use the restroom. Imagine what this means for a girl when a teacher says ‘no’ even after being told it’s a ‘Code Red’ situation. Her face flushed, her anxiety building, the ‘Crimson Tide’ rushing in as she eyes the exit - her only hope of saving herself from eternal embarrassment - blocked. What then? I don’t have children, so it’s hard for me to picture what parents do in these situations, but I would like to think I would tell my would-be daughter to “leave and take care of yourself anyway.” Being young is awkward enough, but throw in society’s dismissal of menstruation, and things get exponentially more awkward. In fact, being told ‘no’ after revealing something so intimate about yourself can be quite a blow. It’s enough to make a girl feel isolated, embarrassed, and for some, like a freak. No woman should feel this way, young or old. Women ought to feel more comfortable in taking care of themselves when they need to, without any feelings of shame or alienation. And it starts with talking about it without flinching, no matter where we are when it comes up. Now, I’m not saying that we have to forget the graceful ‘time and place’ mantra. I mean, you wouldn’t start shouting about being on your rag and how you’re dealing with it in the middle of a graduate school thesis presentation, right? There just shouldn’t be any surprises if the topic comes up in conversation. It isn’t ‘gross’, ‘tactless’, or ‘irrelevant’. It’s nature at work, and it deserves emotional intelligence and respect. So, in my quest to further the dialog of menstruation, I’ve tied the topic into cycling. (any chance I get bicycling on the radar is a win) I asked a couple of questions to a handful of people in my circle: what do you do to prepare for riding during your period? And, do you think the conversation of menstruation and bicycling is an important one to have? Why or why not?

Stacy Garr Layton UT Hmm, it’s been a while since I’ve had to think about that... While on my period, I would have had to make sure my ride was short enough to not need a bathroom break or at least bring the proper supplies and

think about where I might find a restroom on my route. I do think the topic merits a conversation as it impacts about 50% of the population, and anything that could make it more convenient to deal with would be awesome.

prepared for the added flow from activity and was also wearing white one day for a 20 mile ride. Needless to say, I learned young. Not every woman is as lucky (or unfortunate depending on the viewpoint) as I was to learn early. Our bodies react to activity. You get your heart rate up while menstruating and you’re likely to have a mess you’re not prepared to deal with.

To prepare, all I do is use the necessities (use a pad) and make sure to stay super hydrated Felicia Rocha before and during.

I prepare by loading up on sanitary supplies. And wearing underwear that don’t dig (granny panties or boy short type) but that are still suitable for riding (usually I wear things that don’t get in the way but thongs don’t work on my period, so I have to find a middle ground somewhere) Sometimes, I’ll even go so far as to not use tampons the day or hours before a ride, just pads, because it seems to allow my menstrual cycle to discharge more… so that I won’t bleed quite so much on the ride. I’ve never considered any conversation about menstruating and cycling. But I guess that may be because I view menstrual cycle downfalls and extra prep as necessary evils (for any sport or physical activity) I wish that weren’t the case.

Mental Health Matters by Cynthia Callaghan

ello, Flyer readers. Because of a small hiatus to sell my house and get the kids back to school, I did not do a column last time, but here I am with another compelling question for us to discuss. Are you ready? Let’s do this. Question: I have a friend who always has problems and is super negative. Even in the face of good news or great ideas by me, other friends or even her family, she seems to enjoy having significant problems. She is so tiring. I am done with her. Help! Answer: This answer has two parts. First off, let’s look at the person that is ‘stuck.’ Are they this way because they have things going on in their lives that truly are permanent like chronic health issues or ongoing stressors that never end? Or does being stuck bring them the needed attention & support they are lacking and craving in their life? Does staying stuck mean that they don’t have to work towards change? Or is this a habit that they have grown accustomed? People are complex and often products of their experiences. We may never know why they are the way they are. And they will change when they are truly ready to. Secondly, there is YOU. What makes you believe that you can change her? You can try, but you will get even more tired. And resentful. You can bug her, threaten her, bargain with her, beg her, bribe her and ultimately ignore and reject her. But can you change her? Stop. Reflect. Think about what you like about her. What is special about her? Hold onto and think about that. If you have to lessen the time you are with her, do so. Look at yourself. What else has to happen for you to be ready to be with her. Are there certain things you both enjoy doing that makes the time together better? So, yes, she is tiring. Try not to give your energy away. Nothing good can come of that. We need our personal power to live our life, be kind to others, have lots of fun, work hard, do things that give us joy, nurture those that need it, pay our bills, follow the rules and of course, breathe. Don’t forget to email me with your questions. -Cynthia Callaghan is a licensed mental health clinician and lives in Fresno, Ca. She can be reached at cclcsw@sbcglobal.net.

Fun Facts In honor of September as Wine Month

1. A “cork-tease” is someone who constantly talks about the wine he or she will open but never does.

6. During the prohibition, grape juice mix was sold with the warning “After dissolving the brick in a gallon of water, do not place the liquid in a jug away in the cupboard for twenty days, because then it would turn into wine.” 7. The prohibitionists, or the “drys,” in the early twentieth century fought to remove any mention of wine from school and college texts, including Greek and Roman literature. They also sought to remove medicinal wines from the United States Pharmacopoeia and to prove that Biblical praises of wine were for unfermented grape juice.

10. The vintage year isn’t necessarily the year wine is bottled, because some wines may not be bottled the same year the grapes are picked. Typically, a vintage wine is a product of a single year’s harvest. A non-vintage wine is a blend of wines from two or more years. 11. Not all wines improve with time. In fact, a vast majority of wines produced are ready to drink and do not have much potential for aging. Only a rare few will last longer than a decade. 12. When Tutankhamen’s tomb was opened in 1922, the wine jars buried with him were labeled with the year, the name of the wine maker, and comments such as “very good wine.” The labels were so specific that they could actually meet modern wine label laws of several countries. 13. In the Middle Ages, the greatest and most innovative wine makers of the day were monastic orders. The Cistercians and Benedictines were particularly apt wine makers, and they are said to have actually tasted the earth to discover how the soil changed from place to place. Their findings are still important today.

A Celebrity Chef ’s Secrets to Building a Better Sandwich

(BPT) - A great sandwich is a delicious meal choice, which could be why about 60 percent of American adults eat at least one for lunch every week and 70 percent pack one or more in their children’s lunches, according to food industry trend-watching company Datassential. In fact, sandwiches are so popular and so common that at some point in the past you’ve probably made or eaten a lackluster sandwich. However, every sandwich has the potential to be great - or at least better - says celebrity chef and sandwich expert Tom Colicchio.

to fit your and your family’s palettes, not what the latest trends tell you to eat,” he says. “At the same time, don’t be afraid to experiment. One of the best things about sandwiches is the endless potential to create something new and delicious. If an experiment doesn’t work out, you can always try again tomorrow!” In fact, more than one-third of consumers say they love sandwiches because of the ability to customize their meal by choosing from a variety of proteins, vegetables, cheeses and condiments, Datassential reports.

Building Better Sandwiches

Americans eat more cold-cut sandwiches than any other kind, while burgers, poultry, hot dogs, other meats and peanut butter and jelly round out the six most commonly eaten types of sandwiches, according to the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service. Whatever you decide to put in your sandwich, always start with the freshest ingredients available, Colicchio advises. “There’s no substitute for a perfectly ripe piece of produce.” “Create and customize sandwiches

“The architecture of a sandwich is as important as what you put in it,” Colicchio says. “I think there’s an actual science behind building the better sandwich.” Colicchio, the James Beard Award-winning founder of Craft Hospitality and ‘wichcraft, offers some tips to help ensure every sandwich you make is the best it can be: * The bread is the foundation of every sandwich, and it should be as sturdy as

| FRESNO FLYER |

* Build from the bottom up. Place the driest and heaviest ingredients on the bottom slice of bread first before adding toppings like lettuce and tomato. Spread condiments on the second slice of bread as the last step before topping the sandwich.

Ingredients:

* For cold sandwiches, place the cheese next to the bread to help reinforce the stability of the sandwich. For hot sandwiches, place the cheese next to the meat so the flavors can interplay properly. * To avoid sogginess and ensure consistent seasoning throughout, dress greens before placing them on the sandwich. * Don’t go crazy with condiments. “The more you mix them, the more muddled the flavor becomes,” Colicchio says. “Pick one that will really accentuate the flavors you’re highlighting.” * Finally, don’t overload your sandwich to ensure your ingredients won’t fall out or leave a mess behind when you take a bite.

Legendary Garage Rock Band, The Seeds, to Make Rare Performance at Tower Theatre on Sept 16

he legendary garage-rock and influential proto-punk band The Seeds will perform a handful of intimate reunion shows this fall, including a stop in Fresno, CA at Tower Theatre on September 16th. Tickets are on sale now at http://bit.ly/2vtqoLs. Celebrating 52 years as a band, The Seeds’ upcoming reunion will feature founding member Daryl Hooper and Seeds alumnus, drummer Don Boomer along with Alec Palao on bass, seasoned session guitarist Jeff Prentice and vocalist dynamic Paul Kopf. The Seeds remain one of the most iconic American rock bands of the mid1960s. Their signature hits ‘Pushin’ Too Hard’ and ‘Can’t Seem To Make You Mine’ still pack a punch with both the original baby boomers and a legion of new and younger fans. Led by the late Sky Saxon, the Seeds were associated with Flower Power at the time, but their musical legacy actually resides within 70s punk and all alternative music thereafter. In fact, the band’s minimalist sound is probably more influential now than during their brief flash of record success.The Seeds germinated in southern California in early 1965 with the original line-up of Sky Saxon on vocals, keyboard player Daryl Hooper, guitarist Jan Savage and drummer Rick Andridge. Signed to the GNP Crescendo label, the group graduated from a hip “underground” reputation in the clubs of Hollywood to heavy regional airplay for their attitude-laden records like ‘Pushin’ Too Hard’, ‘Can’t Seem To Make You Mine’ and ‘Mr Farmer.’ Numerous TV appearances, best-selling albums such as The Seeds and A Web Of Sound, and unprecedented scenes of fan pandemonium across the country and Canada followed. Because Crescendo have always kept the group’s records in print, the Seeds’ edgy, distinctive brand of garage rock continues to attract a whole new audience with each generation. Usage in films, advertisements and the recent rehabilitation of the Seeds

catalog on CD with bonus tracks – leading to accolades in Rolling Stone and elsewhere – has kept the band’s profile high, as has the 2015 rockumentary The Seeds: Pushin’ Too Hard, directed by Neil Norman and produced/written by Alec Palao. The film gathers the band further plaudits wherever it is shown. LEGACY & INFLUENCE The Seeds have been among the most frequently cited pre-punk influences by American punk musicians since the 1970s. Cover versions of various Seeds songs have been recorded by The Dwarves, Alex Chilton, Johnny Thunders, The Ramones, Yo La Tengo, Garbage, Murder City Devils, Spirits in the Sky Paul Parker, Pere Ubu, The Makers, The Embarrassment, The Bangles, The Rubinoos, Strawberry Alarm Clock, and other artists. Some lyrics in Frank Zappa‘s album Joe’s Garage satirically refer to “Pushin’ Too Hard”: “You’re plooking too hard, Plooking too hard on ME”. On July 24, 2009, members of The Smashing Pumpkins, Love, and The Electric Prunes performed a tribute concert at the Echoplex in Los Angeles in memory of Sky Saxon. The Seeds Tour Dates: Sept 14 - San Jose - The Ritz Sept 15 - San Francisco - DNA Lounge Sept 16 - Fresno - Tower Theatre For More Information: http://www.theseedsband.com/ “One of the great garage punk bands of the 1960s” – allmusic.com “They just owned rock and roll... One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.” -Bruce Johnson The Beach Boys
