Fresno Flyer Vol 4 No 4 by Fresno Flyer

EDITOR’S NOTE Over the summer, I attended an event that celebrated fifty years of resistance surrounding the Vietnam War, along with the associated and controversial draft. It was enlightening to sit in the audience and listen to the stories of the older generation – how they collectively gave the government the proverbial finger at every turn. They were fearless, bold, and believed in the power of the people … and still do. But, by the end of the event, they wondered where the youth was. The last speaker looked over the crowd and asked why it was only the same faces she’d been seeing for the previous fifty years. Where was the next generation to continue the work? I wondered as well. At first. Articles pour out over the internet condemning the Millennial generation for just about anything. Pick a fault. But one type of repeating headline that caught my attention was the infamous “Millennials are killing the (insert any) business.” We may not take to the streets in protest as often as the famed generation of the 60s and 70s did, or form organizations of rebellion, but I can tell you what we are doing. We’re demolishing whole industries. *I say Millennials only because we get the most heat, but it’s a collective effort between some Gen X and Gen Z. Purely by a single cultural thread of understanding, this entire generation selectively chooses where it’ll spend its hard-earned

income by whittling out unethical or useless companies. Without a living wage, Millennials have very little to spend on anything considered a luxury. What we do spend, we want to go towards entities that treat the world and its employees well. Or at the very least, we want that money to stay home – to support small and local businesses. As a result, industries such as diamonds, shopping malls, napkins, and restaurant chains are either taking a significant hit or folding over entirely. And to that, we say, good! Conglomerates and chains shattered small businesses, broke apart communities, drove down wages, eliminated unions, and dried up pensions. They benefited the most from our capitalist society, and it’s about time we all understood our role in this two-waystreet system – because, without demand, the supplier will fail. Whenever you can, choose a small business and choose local. If there are no other options but corporations, then take a few minutes to research who they are and how they treat their employees. Big business isn’t always bad; take Costco, for example, or Microsoft. Look to see if they manufacture or source products in/ from the United States. Whatever your feelings on capitalism, it is a system that puts an enormous amount of power in the hands of the people. You may feel that the fight is out there somewhere, but in all actuality, it’s right there in your pocket.

LOVIN’ LEMOORE How big ideas are moving the small town’s businesses towards a bright future. By Dave Fountinelle | davebh1975@gmail.com

estled in one of its many beautiful, historic buildings, the Lemoore Chamber of Commerce is the literal and figurative heart of downtown. Inside, the operation is bare-bones, and one immediately gets the impression that this is a space where people are too busy getting things done to worry about aesthetics. Desks and tabletops are decorated with memos, printouts, and agendas. The walls are festooned with calendars and Postit notes. Yet, the air crackles with contagious energy. Something is going on here, you can feel it as soon as you walk in the door. A few minutes after I arrive, CEO Amy Ward walks in wearing a witch costume while carrying a purple pumpkin bucket. She has just returned from walking to various downtown businesses as part of the Chamber’s “reverse trick-or-treat.” Ward and her staff visit each local shop, handing out candy, saying hello, and checking in with their members. “We just want to let our members know that we’re always thinking about them, we’re always here for them, and we value and appreciate them.” Amy tells me. Indeed, during today’s walk, many

business owners took advantage of the opportunity to chat face-to-face with Amy, asking her questions, and sharing opinions and ideas. It’s such a simple yet impactful gesture and it’s just one small example of Lemoore’s appreciation of its small business community. Originally from Temecula, Amy Ward moved to Lemoore – as many do – because of the military. However, when the opportunity came to leave, Amy knew she was here to stay. “I love this community. I love the people here. Lemoore reminds me of my hometown when I was growing up, it just feels like home to me, and I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.” Back in 2012, Amy joined the Lemoore Chamber of Commerce board, and in 2016, the CEO position became available. “Pursuing the CEO position wasn’t part of my plan at all,” Amy says with a smile, “But I saw an opportunity to make a difference and have a positive impact on the town and community that I love. I just couldn’t turn that down.” Becoming CEO of the Chamber of | FRESNOFLYER.COM |

Photos by Laci Miranda | @darkstar84_photos Commerce meant a significant pay decrease for Amy, but, “This isn’t about the money. I’m doing this because I care. It’s genuine. I’m willing to go above and beyond what’s expected of me to do what’s best for our members and the community.” Her energy is infectious. Her vision is big, but also very sensible. “I just want to do what works. It’s common sense, but community engagement benefits everyone. Ultimately, we are here to serve our members, and we do that by bringing them more business. It just makes sense that the more you engage the community, the more you invest them in buying local and supporting local businesses.” When Amy took over in 2016, she inherited a Chamber that she describes as “more of a social club.” An apathetic Chamber combined with a largely detached membership was creating a stale business community. “When we first started having our Chamber luncheons and mixers, we would be lucky if 15-20 people showed up. Now, we have 75-100 members coming to these events and growing.”

So, what’s the secret to Lemoore’s success? “We have a 3-pillar plan.” Amy explains, “First is a commitment to business revitalization, and that’s largely focused on the downtown area of course. We have a beautiful, historic downtown area with many businesses that have been here for generations. People need to know about them and come check them out and see what they have to offer.” The second pillar is education. “We want to put programs into place to provide education and support for existing business owners, as well as future business leaders and anyone interested in starting their own business here. We’ve partnered with the high school and West Hills college to provide classes and workshops for students who might be interested in pursuing a career in business. We also host workshops for local businesses on subjects from marketing and promotion, to using social media, to even the most basic fundamentals that every small business owner should know. There are a lot of people who are great at running a business

Owners (and sisters), Melissa Megerdigian-Steward and Amanda Megerdigian, took their childhood passion and turned into Decades – a boutique in Clovis specializing in antiques. Starting small, the pair took to participating in local antique fairs, flea markets, and various popups for three years before eventually opening their storefront just this past March. Decades boasts a 2,500 square foot ‘shop’ that holds original vintage pieces and furniture that pairs with their new farmhouse style décor. The size of their boutique already separates the ‘boutique’ from the typical style of antique store most are used to seeing around town, but they also offer a new line of affordable fashion and accessories.

Decades

Owners - Melissa MegerdigianSteward, and Amanda Megerdigian “Our grandparents were avid antique collectors and dealers. Our parents also love antiques - our childhood home was full of cool, old stuff! Childhood days were spent at swap meets and antique fairs. As children we would play ‘store’ selling each other our toys back and forth with Monopoly money wearing our mother’s antique purses. We would, literally, set up an entire store in our bedroom while one would be the shop keeper and the other would be the shopper.”

Among the furniture, décor, accessories, and items from the Rae Dunn collection are also porcelain signs, scales, and salvage. Melissa and Amanda bring in new items every week, which could easily fall outside of the above categories – their favorite, though? Anything old with ‘Fresno, California’ written on it – that, and advertising pieces or mercantile displays. Somewhat unconventional, Decades is open only once a week – Saturdays from 9a to 2p. Each of the sisters still manages a career outside of the shop, and while that would be more than enough reason to limit their hours, it also helps build an ‘exclusive’ appeal. There’s usually a line outside the door before they open, folks hoping to get a sneak peek at any of the new items the sisters bring in. That being said, you won’t have to wait to a whole week to get your hands on the merch, the sisters are happy to ship items during the week, only tagging on a $5 delivery charge for anything going to Fresno or Clovis. Decades is located in the Industrial park on Clovis and Shaw Ave behind Lowe’s at 1018 San Jose suite 102. Or visit them online at www.DecadesOfClovis.com to check out some of their items from home. *Upcoming event: Holiday Popup on December 7th.

A Farewell Performance by The Wild Blue Yonder

early a half-century ago - the year the President of the United States resigned, and the Vietnam War raged on - a group of musical bohemian dreamers, driven by abject poverty during the advent of Disco, rehearsed in a poorly soundproofed garage writing homegrown music without a venue to be found. So they banded together, emptied their torn Levi pockets of crumpled dollar bills and hammered together a performance space that would be a meeting ground for the culturally deprived tribe of grateful art and music lovers that would stand the test of good times for the next 20 years. The original visionaries and the Tower District nightclub stage they would inhabit was and is...The Wild Blue Yonder. The Wild Blue Yonder, affectionately known as “The Blue,” was the house band of “Fresno’s premiere nightclub” in its first decade of operation. The group opened for such acts as blues legend Muddy Waters, jazz great Jean Luc Ponty, and rockers, Rick Derringer and Huey Lewis. Two independently produced record albums and a few too many Thursday night 25 cent draft beers later, individual band members went on to play with national recording artists including Sheryl Crow, Herbie Hancock, and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Nearly a decade ago, original members of the “The Wild Blue” reunited to perform occasionally in Fresno, traveling from all parts of the state. They racked up frequent flyer miles with their musical chops still intact and a third album produced in the historic Tower Theater, now proudly tucked under their tattered flight jackets. The Wild Blue Yonder will hang up its wings in a final gathering of the ‘Tribe’ Saturday, November 9th, at Fulton 55 in a fundraising benefit for, “The Valley Music Hall of Fame.” Debi Ruud and the Lost Souls will open the show, followed by Nate Butler performing a retrospective medley of local music from bands who played at the club, accompanied by a priceless slide show of memorabilia. Leslie Bixler will be performing with “The Blue.” Art by Jeff. Music lovers from all walks of life are invited

...‘Lemoore’ cont’d from pg 3 but are lost when it comes to promoting their business, for example. Anything we can do to help our members be more successful, we’re going to do it.” And the third pillar is a commitment to health and wellness. “Again, it’s common sense, but a healthy employee is a happy employee, and we have partnered with Adventist Health to provide our members with the resources and support to answer and address any questions or concerns they might have on this issue.” In the 2 ½ years she’s been CEO, Amy has reached out to the City Council, the LPD, and the LFD. She has worked tirelessly to mend fences that had fallen into disrepair during the years of apathy that dogged the Chamber before her arrival. “We’re all in this together.” She says, “When the community is invested in their business, the businesses do better. When the businesses are invested in their community, the community supports them. And Lemoore is such a great community. We’re doing things here that you just don’t see that much anymore, and it’s exciting to be a part of it.”

Part of the effort to engage with the community are events like the annual Pizza Festival, and the upcoming Holiday Stroll, which takes place on November 23rd from 3-7pm. “For the Holiday Stroll, we close off the downtown, so it’s foot traffic only, and we have vendors set up in the street, and local businesses are open, and we encourage people just to come down and walk around. Check out what downtown Lemoore has to offer.” Among the activities planned for the event is a Christmas tree scavenger hunt. Participants will receive a map of local businesses that each has a decorated tree inside them. Visiting each tree gets their list checked off by that business. Everyone who visits all of the trees is entered into a drawing to win one. It’s just one of the many inventive ways the Chamber is utilizing to connect

customers with businesses. I would be remiss in my duties as a journalist if I didn’t ask Amy about the recent approval for 2 recreational marijuana dispensaries in downtown Lemoore. The general response on social media has been overwhelmingly positive, which is somewhat surprising for such a traditionally conservative community. “As CEO, my number one concern is for my members. So, I feel that my own personal opinion regarding the issue is irrelevant. If my members are OK with it, then so am I. If my members have an issue with it, it’s my responsibility to communicate those concerns to the city. That being said, the response from our members has been almost 100% positive.” Amy adds, “I visited Valley Pure’s location in Woodlake and spoke with the owner there, as well as with some of the other businesses on the street. I was very impressed with how much Valley Pure gives back. They have personally, charitably donated an impressive amount of money to

help improve the neighborhood. They engage with the community, ask questions, and act on them. For example, the people said they wanted a coffee shop, so the owner’s girlfriend opened one right next door to the dispensary. That really impressed me. That’s the kind of energy and involvement you love to see, especially in a small town.” So, what does the future hold for Lemoore›s business community? I was given a first look at the Chamber’s rebranding campaign that’s set to roll out in January 2020, under the condition that I do not give away any details. My apologies, but suffice to say, I was quite impressed with what they have planned. “2020 is all about clear vision, and that’s what we want to convey with our rebranding. We have a clear vision for the future of business in Lemoore and the community. We have exciting things planned, and I can’t wait to show everyone what makes Lemoore such a unique and special place.” --- If you would like to volunteer for the Holiday Stroll or any upcoming Lemoore community events, you can email tiffany@ lemoorechamber.org or call (559)216-0505 for more information.

FAMILY FEATURES

s chilly weather sets in and days get shorter, comfort food favorites once again fill menus. While traditional flavor combinations typically hold a special place in many families’ hearts and on their plates, there is almost always room to add new and exciting flavors to tried-and-true favorites. If you’re craving cheesy scalloped potatoes, savory stuffing or juicy braised meat, an option like California Ripe Olives are an easy addition that can spruce up your go-to dishes. Their mild and unique taste lends itself well to many different flavor pairings such as Prosciutto-Wrapped Stuffed Turkey Breast, Potatoes Au Gratin with Olives and Fennel, and Green Beans with Olive Butter. California family farms produce 95% of the ripe olives grown in the United States. Multi-generational family farmers work with familyowned canneries to produce each can and ensure only the highest quality olives make it from the farm to your table. For more creative ways to use olives, including family recipes from growers across California, visit CalOlive.org.

Prosciutto-Wrapped Stuffed Turkey Breast Recipe courtesy of Karista’s Kitchen Brine: 1/4 cup salt 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns 2 bay leaves 2 quarts water 3 1/2-4 pounds turkey breast Turkey: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided salt, to taste pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1 tablespoon orange zest 4 cloves garlic, minced 1/4-1/3 cup dried cranberries 3/4 cup sliced California Green Ripe Olives, divided 4-5 slices prosciutto Gravy: 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1-1 1/2 cups chicken broth salt, to taste pepper, to taste orange slices, for garnish To brine turkey breast: In large, non-reactive bowl, mix salt, peppercorns and bay leaves in water. Place turkey breast in brine and cover with additional water, if needed. Place plastic

wrap over bowl and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight. To cook turkey breast: Heat oven to 375 F. Remove turkey breast from brine, rinse and pat dry. On large cutting board with sharp, sturdy knife, slice into thickest portion of turkey and cut lengthwise, but not all the way through. Brush inside of turkey breast with 1 tablespoon olive oil then sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste, rosemary, parsley and orange zest. Spread minced garlic, cranberries and 1/2 cup sliced green olives over bottom half of turkey breast then fold top over bottom. Brush outside of turkey breast with remaining olive oil and place prosciutto slices over top of turkey breast. Using three pieces kitchen twine, tie turkey breast on each end and in middle. On baking sheet, roast turkey 15 minutes then turn heat down to 350 F and roast 35-45 minutes. Once internal temperature reaches about 155 F, remove from oven and tent foil over top to allow it to continue cooking and stay warm. Let turkey rest about 15 minutes. Once turkey is cool enough to handle, remove kitchen twine and slice. Arrange slices on platter. To make gravy: Take remaining juice from baking sheet and add to saucepan over medium heat along with butter. Once butter is melted, sprinkle in flour and whisk. While whisking, add 1 cup chicken broth. If it becomes thick, add 1/2 cup chicken broth, or more, as needed. Let gravy cook several minutes, whisking constantly. When gravy is done, remove from heat and drizzle over sliced turkey breast. Garnish with remaining green olives and orange slices. Serve warm. | FRESNOFLYER.COM |

MORE Theater She Loves Me Thursday, November 21 at 7:30 PM – 9:45 PM 2nd Space Theatre 928 E Olive Ave, Fresno. The cheerful and charming SHE LOVES ME is now open at Good Company Players’ 2nd Space Theatre! Holiday happiness takes the stage with a romance that inspired “You’ve Got Mail”. In this 1930s romantic comedy, two feuding perfume clerks have no idea that they have been falling in love with each other as pen pals. As far as they know, they can’t stand each other, but, in the evening, each rapturously writes to their anonymous “dear friend” when the workday is done. They soon arrange to meet in person – which doesn’t go well. Written by the composers of Fiddler On The Roof, She Loves Me is one of the most charming musicals ever written, featuring a talented ensemble playing a range of memorable characters. She Loves Me plays at Good Company Players’ 2nd Space Theatre through December 22nd.

OPINION

Can’t We Just Cannabis? By I. smiley G. Calderón | smileygcalderon@gmail.com

f you’re living within the City of Fresno, you should know that your city is actively and officially trying to regulate the already booming marijuana market currently operating within its borders. That’s a good thing - if done fairly and socially equitably, of course. And, it’s really about time, too - anyone in the know is already aware that finding cannabis to buy in Fresno is not a difficult task. In fact, Weedmaps, the popular app that locates active cannabis storefronts and delivery services, clearly shows a thriving local industry hidden all around us. But the problem with this industry is that it is still “illegal” - right? Yes, at the federal level, cannabis continues to be demonized by its unfair categorization as a Schedule I drug - the worst illegal category possible. Schedule I is reserved for substances “with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.” (I know - it’s utterly mind-blowing and incredibly frustrating that our federal government still refuses to acknowledge the countless documented medicinal benefits of cannabis - Aargh!) But, thankfully, at the state level, California has been a progressive leader in its decriminalization and legalization. California has long recognized cannabis as a legitimate medicine with the passing of Proposition 215 in 1996, called the “Compassionate Use Act,” and even recently legalized its adult recreational use a few years back in 2016 with the passing of Proposition 64, “The Adult Use of Marijuana Act.” The resultant “Green Rush” is an exciting time here in the Golden State. But, for the County of Fresno, it hasn’t been too exhilarating: all dispensaries, storefronts, sales, and cannabis delivery ser-

vices are illegal. In fact, any kind of cannabis cultivation is prohibited. (the county is desperately trying to maintain federal law) What is more concerning is the verbiage stated in the County’s Fact Sheet regarding local “Non-Medical Marijuana” laws that appears to restrict possessing any amount of recreational cannabis: “Possession, planting, cultivation, harvesting, drying, or processing outdoors on the grounds of a private residence is prohibited in all Zone Districts of the unincorporated territory of Fresno County, to the fullest extent permitted by State law.” Businesses aside, the wording in this text appears to intercept the rights granted to individuals by Prop 64 – a topic I plan to cover in more depth for a future issue of the Flyer. What a shame Fresno County stubbornly continues to keep itself in the dark ages of cannabis prohibition staunchly! This is why the recent discussion of cannabis businesses at the October 24th City Council meeting was a welcomed progressive step forward for our community. The meeting focused on amending the already existing Cannabis Retail Business and Commercial Cannabis Business City Ordinance that passed late last year in December as Bill No. B-66, which added Article 33 to Chapter 9 (Regulations Regarding Businesses and Personal Conduct) of the Municipal Code and Charter of Fresno. A month before it passed, Fresnan voters had already approved Measure A, The Cannabis Business License Tax, which set the stage for the city to implement an excise tax on cannabis sales. One of the original sponsors of Bill No. B-66, Councilmember Clint Olivier of District 7, said this at the time: “Whether

| FRESNOFLYER.COM |

you agree with cannabis or you think it’s moral to use or not, it’s here. It is now going to be part of our lives forever…Right now, we have illicit cannabis businesses in city limits that are not paying taxes. This is a way to license these businesses and tax them…” Indeed! Legitimizing and regulating the local cannabis industry is a very smart and practical approach for both voters and elected officials in the city of Fresno. The proposed changes at last month’s meeting would give more control of the cannabis business selection process to the City Council by removing a lot of oversight from the City Manager. It would also implement a social equity component to this nascent cannabis industry by waiving fees for qualified business applicants, especially for those from communities of color who have historically been affected and targeted in the infamous “War on Drugs.” The proposed changes would require businesses to hire a certain minimum number (1/3 the total annual work hours) of workers who represent underserved and underrepresented social equity policy criteria, like having an annual family income below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or living in a low to moderate-income census tract in Fresno for the past 3 years. Other social policy employee criteria include hiring former foster youths, veterans, or those convicted for a cannabis-related crime that, under current state law, would have been prosecuted as a misdemeanor or infraction. The proposed ordinance would also require businesses with more than 20 employees to enter into a legally binding labor peace agreement with its employees -

something great for workers’ rights. And, in a serious attempt to curtail corruption in this process, the proposed changes would also restrict any contact with councilmembers, any elected officials, or Planning Commissioner city staff once a cannabis business application has been filed. A lot of critical changes to consider here. The Council is set to vote on the matter within the month. If this process seems convoluted and complicated, that’s because it is. How does the old saying go, ‘Leave it to the government to take a simple thing and overcomplicate it’? Yes, absolutely. So, what could be just as easy as ‘legitimize, legalize, and tax’ has morphed into ‘complicate, overcomplicate, tax, and then overcomplicate some more.’ When bureaucracy’s tentacles grab hold of profitable industry, there undoubtedly emerges new winners and losers in the marketplace. For example, once the city implements its cannabis business license program and awards its coveted licenses to the Council’s chosen few, any other currently operating dispensary or cannabis business not granted a permit will be immediately and explicitly outlawed. It’s nothing new, really, since all active cannabis businesses within the city are already currently illicit and illegal. But for those trying to legally ride the “Green Wave” as legitimate cannabis business owners here in the City of Fresno, not winning a cannabis business license would destroy those dreams - and force a continued black-market cannabis industry here in the community. Wouldn’t it be great if the government allowed our industry to thrive - why can’t we just cannabis?
