Jessica Marksbury: “Letting Go,” photograph PHOTOGRAPHY MONTH(S) SACRAMENTO MOVES FORWARD The creative sector knows how to adapt quickly, so it’s no surprise that the monthlong and highly anticipated April event has been renamed Photography Month(s) Sacramento. Rather than one month of photographic activities, planning is underway to reschedule some of the exhibits and events into the coming months. Exhibit and event updates will be posted at photomonthsac.org, under the "Events.” Please check back regularly for updates.

Selland’s Market-Cafe in East Sacramento

Payback Time LOCAL BUSINESSES NEED US MORE THAN EVER

ublishing a monthly magazine isn’t optimal when information about the coronavirus changes hourly. So most of what you see this month in Inside Sacramento will ideally serve as a welcome and necessary contrast to media approaches that prize speed over accuracy and are intended to generate extreme emotions. Here we love our neighborhoods because their scale is small. Our relationships tend to be more intimate than what a big city or rural community might offer. Leopold Kohr, an Austrian economist and political scientist famed for his opposition to the “cult of bigness” in social organization, said, “Wherever something is wrong, something is too big.” When a virus from China spreads around the world in a matter of weeks, it’s easy to see the downside of globalism.

CH By Cecily Hastings Publisher’s Desk

IA APR n 20

So let’s think small. “After all, quarantines and social distancing are all attempts to take systems that are too big and divide them into groups and sizes that we can handle. If you can’t stop an epidemic—your country, state, region, city, town, village, is definitely too big,” wrote Kohr, who died in 1994. The lifeblood of our communities is found in our neighborhoods. They are filled with locally owned businesses and include shops, service providers and food establishments. Our national leaders must recognize that while global players in the travel, hospitality and entertainment industries are suffering huge losses, the little guy has it much worse. Many small businesses in Sacramento operate with low margins and high overheads. Their employees— wait staff, bartenders, cooks or anyone who depends on tips—are being laid off. They don’t have corporate reserves to fall back on. Please follow the medically recommended precautions as we navigate this crisis. But whenever possible, use your dollars to support a local business. Without our collective help, they will be history. Many small restaurants were struggling even in the prosperous years after the Great Recession. If they are trying to survive by providing takeout

food, purchase some every day—it’s a great way to help our neighbors stay open while avoiding crowds and staying safe. If you can buy gift cards to save for when times get better, buy them. Our country has faced worse crises. Those of us who have lived long enough have perspective on our country’s ability to recover. The big question is whether we can muster the strength to fight back when the muscle-memories of sacrifice have atrophied in many of us. I met a mother who recently drove a good distance to visit her young adult children. They refused to touch or hug her. She left after a short while because she was so saddened by their narcissism, drama and hysteria. Other reports show young folks violating rules and acting wildly irresponsible. The mature among us must do our part to keep others calm and steady, even when they don’t always want to hear it. Avoid social media unless it uplifts your spirits and the hopes of others. We have surplus time for ourselves now. Make sure to read broadly and carefully. Read history that shows our human resilience. Listen attentively to reliable sources. Look for ways to help people less fortunate. Go outside. Tip greater than normal. Don’t hoard. Be

conservative in everything you use. But never stifle a generous impulse. We must also repay good faith with good faith. When others disagree, make an effort to hear them out. We are in the midst of grave societal and economic challenges that will hopefully make partisan bickering trivial and ideological purity irrelevant. Please support the fine establishments listed below. They are local businesses. Over the years they supported us with advertising, which helped pay the costs to bring you Inside Sacramento every month. Now they need us to step up and show how much we value them—not simply as businesses that provide wonderful service, but as our friends and neighbors who are hurting.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE As we went to print, Sacramento News & Review announced it was shutting down its weekly print operations. The paper’s ad revenue has always been highly dependent on food, drink and events. In addition, the biweekly magazine SubMerge, which covers local art, entertainment and nightlife, has suspended its print edition, citing lost advertising revenue due to business closures and event cancellations as a result of COVID-19. Hopefully, SN&R and SubMerge will find a path forward. The more

local news that’s available, the better for our community. But with the Bee’s bankruptcy, Sacramento readers should not take any local news source for granted, including Inside Sacramento.

Step 4 - Cabinet Design and/or Countertop Selection After reviewing the proposal and establishing the budget, it’s time to design the most complicated part of the project (cabinets for kitchens; baths skip this step unless it’s a custom vanity) and choose the most influential design element (countertops). You do this with a CRATE team member by your side the entire way, and a cabinet designer devoted to the smallest detail of your project.

Step 5 - Interior Design Meeting Now that the big items are addressed, it’s time to partner with one of our two interior designers and make the vision in your head come to life.

Focus on Photography PHOTO MONTH ACTIVITIES WILL EXTEND INTO FALL TARA O’SULLIVAN MEMORIAL FIELD Mayor Darrell Steinberg and the City Council recently voted to rename the Woodlake Park Baseball Field in North Sacramento as Tara O’Sullivan Memorial Field. Last summer while responding to a domestic violence call, O’Sullivan, a 26-year-old rookie officer with the Sacramento Police Department, was fatally shot by a gunman. She was a proud Sac State graduate and part of the first class of the school’s Law Enforcement Candidate Scholars Program. Classmates and colleagues have recalled her exuberance, kindness and dedication to the profession. O’Sullivan holds the department record for the longest plank at 26 minutes, seven seconds. The gym at the Sacramento Police Academy has also been renamed in her

honor. Tara O’Sullivan Memorial Field is located at 500 Arden Way.

SAC OPEN STUDIOS CALL Registration is now open for Verge Center for the Arts’ 15th Annual Sac Open Studios, the region’s oldest, largest and most prestigious artist studio tour program. The program is designed to showcase emerging and established artists in Sacramento County and West Sacramento. Throughout two weekends in September—Sept. 12–13 and Sept. 19–20—the community will take self-guided tours and participate in special exhibitions, events, workshops, performances and parties where they will meet local artists, see art in action and purchase original work. Artist registration is open through May 15. The cost for artist participation

special events celebrating the art of photography at different venues in Sacramento, Placer, Nevada, Yolo and El Dorado counties. “The months-long focus offers a way to encourage more people to explore art spaces that will help shape and define our collective local voice as an inclusive and vital arts community,” says event director Roberta McClellan, executive director of Viewpoint Photographic Art Center in Midtown. “We’re excited to present another vibrant and amazing event.” For updates and programming information, visit photomonthsac.org.

SAINT JOHN’S GRANT Saint John’s Program for Real Change has received a $100,000 Allstate Foundation Grant to support its residential program, which serves more than 700 formerly homeless women and children each year—69 percent of whom are survivors of domestic violence. “Allstate and The Allstate Foundation support us with muchneeded funding to run our daily operations, along with contributing hundreds of hours in volunteer time through their local agents and employees,” Saint John’s Interim CEO Marc Cawdrey says. “They’ve been a wonderful community partner for years.” Saint John’s recently teamed up with The Allstate Foundation to host its fourth annual Reverse Guest Chef Dinner at Plates Café and Catering. Local Allstate agents and employees prepared and served dinner to Saint John’s clients as a reverse of the nonprofit’s monthly Guest Chef Dinner fundraisers, where the women prepare and serve dinner under the supervision of a guest chef from a local restaurant.

The dinners are part of Saint John’s Employment Training Program. For more information, visit saintjohnsprogram.org.

SAC STATE RECOGNIZED The Carnegie Foundation has selected Sacramento State to receive the prestigious Carnegie Community Engagement Classification in recognition of the university’s strong commitment to the Sacramento region. Sac State is one of only 119 U.S. colleges and universities to earn recognition this year. The university first earned the classification in 2010 and again in 2015. Since Sac State’s founding in 1947, thousands of faculty, staff and students have donated their time and resources to local community partners through service, research and creative collaborations. For more information, visit csus.edu.

Jesuit athletes in baseball, crew, track, cross country, fencing, football, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, swimming, tennis, volleyball and water polo will attend colleges such as Cal Poly, USC, Stanford, UC Berkeley and St. Mary’s. These Marauders join an elite pool of high school athletes—on average, only about 4 percent of high school students go on to play a college sport.

FREE PET ADOPTIONS FOR VETS Veterans interested in adopting a dog or cat from any public animal shelter in California are now eligible for waived adoption fees through the Pets for Vets Act. The new law, which became effective Jan. 1, prohibits any California public shelter from charging an adoption fee for a dog or cat to individuals who

present eligible identification in the form of a valid driver’s license or ID card with the word “veteran” printed on its face. Standard adoption counseling still applies to ensure a good match between the animal and adopter. Looking for a new furr-ever friend? Visit Sacramento County’s Bradshaw Animal Shelter at 3839 Bradshaw Road. To view adoptable pets, go to animalcare.saccounty.net. Or check out the dogs and cats at the city’s Front Street Animal Shelter at 2127 Front St. Visit cityofsacramento.org/communitydevelopment/animal-care. Licensing and other fees may apply.

ir travel can be stressful for many people, whether it is a fear of flying, delays or just the strain of being away from home. Sacramento International Airport is providing a furry and adorable solution by partnering with Lend A Heart Animal Assisted Therapy, a Sacramento-based nonprofit organization that provides therapy dogs to improve the traveling experience. For many hectic travelers, seeing a wet-nose tail-wagger wearing a blue

vest on the concourse provides a bright spot for what, in many ways, can be a harried day. From lowering blood pressure to improving moods, recent studies show there are many benefits to having a friendly dog to pet at the airport. Boarding Area Relaxation Corps dogs have been wagging their way around SMF since 2015. There are now more than 30 airport-approved BARC teams spreading their stress-busting affection through each terminal at least two times per week. Because not everyone loves dogs, the airport therapy dog teams typically remain stationary. They can be found in open areas making it easy to spot the dogs with their “Pet Me” blue vests. Those not fond of canines can easily avoid them. The Lend A Heart organization also has teams that visit hospitals, nursing homes and schools. The dogs and their handlers go through an evaluation and

training process that usually takes a few months to complete. The dogs are matched with assignments based on factors like their age and temperament. For more information, go to lendaheart. org.

MCCLATCHY FAMILY DESERVES NOTHING FROM YOU

et’s erase the McClatchy name from Sacramento. Rebrand the high school. Call the park something relevant. As for the little street in Land Park, change it. The name McClatchy means a family best forgotten. Media turned weepy in February when the McClatchy Company declared bankruptcy and ended the family’s 163-year run as the ultimate Sacramento newspaper dynasty. The tears were not deserved. No family made a deeper, longer impact on the city. And no family did more existential harm—using its monopoly to squeeze dollars from local businesses while wrecking labor unions, financing colonial expansions in far-flung markets, minimizing its Sacramento imprint and gutting a vital California media institution. A hedge fund is taking over. It will euthanize the Bee and other McClatchy papers. The family’s destruction of the Bee leaves Sacramento without a daily journalistic powerhouse to protect readers and question politicians. Obese with inherited wealth and anesthetized by profit, the McClatchy family became impotent decades ago. It squandered a legacy of community service and two-fisted journalism in Sacramento. Bankruptcy is a multi-generational, self-inflicted outcome. I worked 35 years for The Sacramento Bee, the McClatchy flagship. When I started, the

company was still overseen by Eleanor McClatchy and her nephew C.K. From the start, I was indoctrinated with stories about the family’s foresight and generosity— support for local arts, the creation of SMUD, the expansion of UC Davis.

Eleanor sat beside me in the Bee’s third-floor cafeteria at 21st and Q streets. C.K. pedaled his bicycle to work. They were “Sacramento Proud” before pride became a cliché.

That’s ancient history. By the late 1970s, the beneficence was a façade. Eleanor faded away. C.K. spent more time in San Francisco. The family— known for paying top industry wages— revealed its new priorities by forcing a strike in 1978. The goal was to drive out composing-room workers, modernize and cheapen production. Many people lost their jobs. Ten years later, McClatchy became a publicly traded company. The family maintained control with a dual-class stock scheme that left ordinary stockholders powerless. Profit and expansion were obsessions. The Bee racked up annual profits of 40 percent, driven by extortive ad rates. Local merchants had no alternatives. They had to pay. The family—now the McClatchy Company—returned almost nothing to Sacramento beyond marketing slogans and a Christmas campaign to help needy folks. The campaign was painless for stockholders. Readers paid with donations. The McClatchy arrogance peaked as the internet began to prove its ability to transmit news and information. The family fumbled, unable to respond in a sustained, creative, dynamic way.

At a Bee employee meeting around 2002, I asked senior management about Craigslist, which was expanding with free online classified ads. “What percentage of our profit comes from classified?” I asked. The response was “about 48 percent.” Feeling the floor disappear, I asked, “How do we compete with free?” The answer: We’re the Bee. Craigslist isn’t our competition. Within four years, classified profits were gone. Reporters were being laid off. Around 2004, I asked a senior executive why we didn’t digitize and index our stories from 1857 onward and market a searchable Sacramento website. The answer: We thought about that, but it would cost $250,000. Too expensive. Meantime, bonuses for McClatchy executives were $250,000 at the low end. One day in 2006, 10 months before I quit, McClatchy CEO Gary Pruitt told me the company was buying the Knight Ridder newspaper chain. Pruitt was pleased with himself. I asked if he was worried that nobody else wanted Knight Ridder. He said no, the deal would make McClatchy one of the most powerful newspaper companies in the country. McClatchy paid $6.5 billion. The debt broke the company. Pruitt faced

zero accountability. The family gave him $3.6 million when he quit in 2012, including $3.1 million in deferred compensation. Today, the family is trying to abandon its pension obligations—no surprise. When I joined the Bee, the family owned newspapers in Sacramento, Modesto and Fresno, and TV and radio stations in the Central Valley and Reno. Jobs at the Bee were for life. Pensions were golden. Things should have turned out better. The family could have embraced online search and social media. But search tools were expensive and mysterious. And social media was troublesome, giving readers an independent voice. The company bought more newspapers. Erasing the McClatchy name from Sacramento won’t repair the family’s mistakes. But why should Sacramento honor a dynasty that stopped caring a half-century ago? R.E. Graswich can be reached at regraswich@icloud.com.

Gone Not Forgotten 33RD STREET BISTRO MADE COMMUNITY HAPPEN

n March, neighbors in East Sacramento were stunned to learn 33rd Street Bistro was closing, six months before the 25th anniversary of its opening in 1995. The East Sacramento restaurant was forced to shut down after the new landlord opted for another tenant, co-owner Matt Haines says. I feel a special bond with 33rd Street Bistro and its owners, brothers Matt and Fred Haines, who were born and raised in Sacramento. My husband and I started our business that same year. The Haines family has continually advertised with Inside Sacramento since the Bistro opened. They were one of our beloved “lifetime” advertisers. When the Bistro opened, Matt told me the plan was to showcase the flavors of the Pacific Northwest, where Fred got his start as a chef. They chose the location because the corner of 33rd Street and Folsom Boulevard—which was pretty run down—had potential as a destination. At the time, it was the only restaurant in walking distance from our McKinley Park home. But even more important, the brothers wanted to create a space that could be the cornerstone of

the community they loved. It was a place where friends old and new could gather and enjoy life. The idea of building community was the part I loved most. My husband and I embarked on a publishing venture in 1995 that was designed to strengthen our communities through sharing great stories of people, places and events in East Sacramento—home for the first edition of Inside. Over the years we met people from outside the neighborhood who often identified themselves as fans of 33rd Street Bistro. For 24 years, the Haines brothers leased their building. But in January, the longtime property owner sold to Dowling Properties of Davis. The brothers were soon told Dowling wanted to “go a different direction.” The Bistro’s month-tomonth lease would not be renewed, Matt says. Dowling received several offers from prospective tenants while the building was in escrow. The new owner opted for an upscale Italian-American restaurant. It will open in a few months. At Dowling’s request, the new tenant approached the Haines brothers and discussed a transition process. Offers and counters were made to sell the name, recipes and personnel, but a deal was not reached. Sadly, the story is common. Business owners who lease rather than purchase their properties often end up shut out. Others I know who bought their buildings a decade or more ago are looking at comfortable retirements, even if their businesses close down or are sold. It’s easy to blame the new owner or tenant, especially if you gauge by the angry reaction

on social media. But as much as I love the Haines brothers and their Bistro, property owners have the right to sell and maximize their profit. Anyone lucky enough to own a home within roughly 10 miles of 33rd and Folsom has seen their home values escalate wildly in the past decade. The Haines brothers also own Suzie Burger, Wildwood Kitchen & Bar in Pavilions Shopping Center and Bistro 33 in Davis. A 25th anniversary party was scheduled for Nov. 14. The date now serves as a benchmark for when

the Haines brothers would like to open another 33rd Street Bistro in East Sacramento, Matt says. “We’re devastated. It’s our family and friends, and it is much bigger than a business with us,” he says. “We started from scratch and built a name for ourselves here. It’s our identity.” Running any type of small business is not for the timid. It’s tough, demanding and often unforgiving. And it’s highly risky, especially in the food business. The presence of deeply resourced national chains coming to town to

The incredible local hospitality scene is the primary reason why I published our book, “Inside Sacramento: The Most Interesting Neighborhood Places in America’s Farm-To-Fork Capital,” in 2017 and 2019. I wanted to showcase the best of the locally owned businesses that make Sacramento unique. The first place I considered for the book was 33rd Street Bistro.

Bridge to Perfection CITIES PICK WINNER IN NEW I STREET SPAN

few months back, Sacramento and West Sacramento announced agreement on design finalists for a new bridge connecting the growing cities. The news was a letdown. Despite extensive community involvement, work from an international design firm and a fair amount of hoopla, it felt as if everyone was trying too hard for something special. The two spans competing to replace the 108-year-old I Street Bridge were thick, bulky and needlessly grandiose. Rather than complement and enhance the surroundings, each finalist loomed over the river like a boisterous, unwelcome hulk.

GD By Gary Delsohn Building Our Future

IA APR n 20

Part of Sacramento’s charm is that it’s an unpretentious, if ambitious, city. But the plans seemed more concerned with being noticed than with the utilitarian job of efficiently moving vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians over our namesake river, with some panache. To win the competition, the finalists needed to reimagine their plans. The effort paid off when the winner, by T.Y. Lin International Group, was unveiled at a Downtown media event. It felt like a revelation to a pleased audience. As explained by Jeff Harris, Sacramento city councilmember and vice mayor whose district includes the bridge, and Noel Shamble, chief designer from T.Y. Lin, much of the success can be summed up in a word: aluminum. As the lengthy design process unfolded, with more than 3,800 people participating, there was strong sentiment to include ample room on the bridge for cyclists and pedestrians. The winning design has that and more. It can handle buses and light rail. There are generous overlooks and seating

areas on each riverbank to bring people closer to the water. The bridge, projected for completion in 2023, will be about 100 feet longer than the 200-foot span it replaces. (Actually, the old I Street Bridge, just south of where the new bridge will be

located, isn’t going away. It will carry only rail traffic.) Extra length means more weight for the steel deck and support structure. Normally, extra weight requires higher, bulkier towers. But not in Sacramento, thanks to aluminum.

IA n INSIDESACRAMENTO.COM

“We worked tirelessly to come up with new material innovations to make that weight less and allow us to really cut those tower dimensions in half,” Shamble said. Now, the $210 million curvilinear bridge is sleek and graceful. It will wind and flow, like the water, with a sweeping line that extends from riverbank to riverbank. The lighter, thinner towers will be turned 90 degrees from the roadway, further evoking the river’s motion, with transparency built into the design. With arches inclined over the roadway, users will experience a cathedral-like effect under the arches, a gateway experience in the approach. At night, the bridge will be tastefully lit, a glowing connection between two cities striving to take greater advantage of their riverfronts. By the time the bridge opens, the area should be well on its way to a major renaissance, with a new soccer stadium, waterfront entertainment and other amenities, development in the Downtown railyards and more. Mayor Darrell Steinberg was not exaggerating when he said the new bridge “will be an instant landmark.” Because it’s arched and designed to rise for river traffic, as the I Street Bridge does, Shamble said the design is unique in the world. At the media event, U.S. Rep. Doris Matsui, who worked to secure federal funds for almost 90 percent of the cost, pulled the cover from a glass-enclosed model to enthusiastic applause. She described the bridge as “a modern, iconic structure that will define our region for the next century.” It can also lead to more, much-needed bridges, City Councilmember Steve Hansen told the crowd.

“What you have today is a gift to the next generation … that will inspire us to do another bridge at Broadway, another bridge over the American River,” Hansen said. Bridges should be more than a way to stay dry while crossing from one shore to another. At their best, they inspire with beauty, such as the Golden Gate Bridge. They celebrate a city’s architectural heritage, as with the Brooklyn Bridge. No one will compare Sacramento’s new bridge, the first built here since the 1960s, with anything so grand. But by listening

IA APR n 20

to the community, thinking creatively and seeking to fit in rather than dominate, the two cities delivered a blueprint for what could become the region’s most crowning architectural achievement since the Capitol building. It should also be fun to ride, walk, drive or just kill time on. Gary Delsohn can be reached at gdelsohn@gmail.com. Previous columns can be found and shared at the all-new InsideSacramento.com.

Smith Walk to COP (Cancel Out Parkinson’s) by the Parkinson Association of Northern California, and Moving Day by the Parkinson’s Foundation. These walks raise crucial funds for research and support for people living with Parkinson’s disease. People like Arjil. Seven years ago, Arjil saw her doctor about a persistent resting tremor

and was diagnosed with young onset Parkinson’s disease at the age of 43. Though the diagnosis was shocking, she wasted no time getting involved with the Parkinson’s Foundation’s annual Moving Day—an event that not only raises money, but also connects patients and their families to others going through similar experiences. Since 2011, more than 130,000 people have participated in Moving Day events across the country, raising more than $27 million to improve care and advance research for a cure.

“When you’re first diagnosed, it’s very confusing and overwhelming,” says Arjil, who sees a neurologist specializing in movement disorders to help manage her symptoms through medication and exercise. “It’s a big help to have somebody you can talk to. That’s what’s so nice about Moving Day—every year I’ve met multiple people who are newly diagnosed and new to the walk who are glad to have somebody who understands what they’re going through. We all help each other.” When Arjil was first diagnosed, the nearest Moving Day was in San Francisco. But three years ago, the organization decided to branch out and hold a walk in Sacramento—and contacted Arjil to help facilitate it. She now serves on the Moving Day committee managing event logistics and has attended the foundation’s national conference to drum up local volunteers. “The people who work for the foundation are some of the best people I’ve ever met,” Arjil says. “They work so hard and are so committed to getting the word out and supporting volunteers, patients and families with a huge amount of resources.” Arjil also wanted to do more to help her local community, so she started a support group in Carmichael for young onset patients like herself through the Parkinson Association of Northern California. The association provides resources such as support groups, respite for families, and seminars and training for fitness and physical therapy professionals on how to properly work with Parkinson’s patients. The group also holds the annual COP walk sponsored by the Sacramento Embarcadero Lions Club. “Everybody probably knows somebody who has Parkinson’s disease,” Arjil says. “But it really hasn’t been at the forefront, so we’re trying get the word out about these much-needed fundraisers to help support patients and fund research. We’re all working toward a common goal.” Editor’s Note: This month’s Robert G. Smith Walk to COP and Moving Day have been canceled due to COVID-19.

Robynne Rose-Haymer chats with Wind Youth Services clients.

Young and Alone WIND SERVES YOUTH WITH NOWHERE TO GO

omeless young people are found in every corner of Sacramento. Some sleep on the streets. Others couch surf with friends or tap into social services scattered around town. One Downtown organization, Wind Youth Services, is dedicated to helping homeless young people. In recent years, the organization has blossomed as a robust provider of programs and services after near insolvency.

SC By Scot Crocker Inside Downtown

IA APR n 20

Growing numbers of unsheltered young people have been an inevitable consequence of Sacramento’s homeless crisis. As the problem expands, so does Wind. The organization served 805 young people in 2018 and 1,029 last year. “The problem keeps getting worse,” says Robynne Rose-Haymer, Wind’s executive director. “We have an influx of young people moving here. There’s little affordable housing and services have not been publicized. We certainly have seen a spike in the need in Sacramento.” When many young people near their 18th birthday, they leave home, driven out by family dysfunction. Often they have no place to go, no strategy for long-term stability, and limited skills and education to thrive in the job market. Drugs and alcohol may play a

role, making daily existence even more difficult. “These young people fall off the workforce roles,” Rose-Haymer says. “The home life starts to fall apart and young people know no options. They don’t know how to complete forms, get housing, open a bank account or even manage housing if they found something.” Wind provides options. It runs the only emergency shelter for homeless and runaway kids. While participants may need training in multiple subject areas, the Wind Downtown drop-in shelter staff explains the basics of survival. They offer support networks, food services, limited health care options, classes and programs, laundry, games and more. “We ask our participants to invest in themselves,” Rose-Haymer says.

“They need to be competent in basic life skills. They need the hard skills like budgeting, getting credit and applying for a job. But they also need access to a learning environment and a path forward into adulthood.” The program teaches young people how failure is not an end but a start. The Wind team takes pride in success stories and the growth of young people. “Everyone knows about our housing issues and the lack of affordable housing for low wage jobs,” Rose-Haymer says. “We have to continue to find housing opportunities and we will continue to work with youth so they can have employment and ability to keep their house once they get it.” Wind’s model includes collaboration with other organizations—service providers with systems to help young people with school, health care, housing and other needs. Beyond the Downtown drop-in shelter, Wind operates group homes and has the only homeless street outreach program in Sacramento. The program is designed to help homeless youth on the streets, building trust and encouraging them to access other services. The outreach teams carry food, clothes and basic necessities. “We want homeless youth to know there’s help out there,” Rose-Haymer says. “Wind has the programs and a great staff ready to help. Our board is very active and we have built strong relationships throughout the community. However, we still need to get the word out about us.” Wind provides other support, including life lessons, education and help with housing. And there’s a focus on job development. “With skills, a minimum-wage employee can advance to $20 to $30 per hour,” Rose-Haymer says. “Or they can take a few classes and get a career tech certificate which can add to their paycheck. Many young people don’t know about Social Security cards, identification, time sheets and other basic skills to acquire and keep a job. We get them prepared.” She adds, “Some of our participants even get jobs here at Wind. We all believe in help and making a difference. It’s really heart-to-heart type of work. It takes special people and we have them here at Wind.” Scot Crocker can be reached at scot@ crockerbranding.com. Previous columns can be found and shared at the all-new InsideSacramento.com.

Fido & Farmers KNOW THE RULES BEFORE BRINGING THE POOCH TO MARKET

Pedals rides in her owner's backpack because she is not allowed to walk through the farmers market.

TMO By Tessa Marguerite Outland Farm-to-Fork

IA APR n 20

t’s a brisk Sunday morning and the farmers market at 8th and W streets is already alive with a confluence of characters. Young families with strollers, college students in knitted sweaters and loyal patrons carrying baskets all buzz from booth to booth collecting organic acorn squash, cagefree brown eggs and lightly bruised oranges. A young man and woman meander down the center corridor doting over a heap of broccoli with a wagging corgi in tow on a short leash. Passersby gesture to the sandy-colored dog with giddy chuckles and small gasps of amusement. When a balding gentleman in jeans and a plaid jacket strides up and gently

pushes a piece of paper into the man’s hand, they all smile politely. Holding the dog’s leash, the man looks down at the wrinkled paper and begins to scan the lengthy text. In bold at the top of the page it reads, “No Dogs at Farmers’ Markets.” It shouldn’t come as a surprise that canines are not allowed at “certified” farmers markets. There are often signs visibly posted throughout the aisles. But are pet dogs really a harmful addition to these outdoor affairs? In 2014, California added amendments to its law on "live animals" in the Retail Food Code related to pet dogs in outdoor dining areas. The law states that patrons may bring their

pet dogs to an outdoor dining area if the establishment owner allows it and certain requirements are met. Requirements include an outdoor entrance, and dogs leashed and under control. Employees also must wash their hands if they touch the canines. Then why doesn’t this law apply to farmers markets? The answer lies in California Health and Safety Code 114259.5, which stipulates that, with the exception of service animals, “live animals may not be allowed in a food facility.” Certified farmers markets, although they usually take place outdoors, fall into the category of a “food facility.”

“Personally, I’m a total dog lover, and we have dogs running around the farm! But people don’t contend with dogs lifting their legs on stands.”

“I think it’s OK if the dog is helping the person and is obedient, but not if the dog gets aggressive.”

“Some yes, but not all. When the dogs are tall, they smell the produce and some customers don’t like that.”

“I have no problem with dogs. People come and go, and there’s never a problem.”

The Sunday Farmers Market under the freeway is a certified farmers market. Courtney Smith with Shared Abundance Organic Farm in Auburn cheerfully greets customers from behind a booth at the Sunday market. Smith says although she personally loves dogs, a farmers market with fresh produce and crowds may not be the place for them. “People don’t contend with dogs lifting their legs on stands,” she says. “And sometimes dog hair clings to the lettuce.” Smith mentions that not all markets have the same policy on dogs— or perhaps there are just no signs posted to remind patrons of the law. The Midtown Farmers Market is managed by a Northern Californiabased events marketing agency called Unseen Heroes and hosted by the Midtown Business Association. The market is certified by the Sacramento County Agricultural Commissioner, which allows both “certified” and “uncertified” producers to sell their agricultural products provided all produce meets certain minimum quality standards. At the Midtown Farmers Market, dogs are allowed to walk through the market, but not in the immediate market stalls (service animals are

allowed in all areas). “We periodically set up our 4-footed-favorite mobile PopUp Dog Park adjacent to the market,” says John Adair, director of bid services and communications for the Midtown market. “Many of the surrounding restaurants offer brunch on the patios that are dog-friendly, such as LowBrau and the MARRS building.” Jose Gallardo of Gallardo’s Organic Farm has a booth at the Midtown Farmers Market with a bounty of red, green and rainbow Swiss chard and other fresh produce. Gallardo says he has no problem with dogs, and with patrons walking in and out so quickly it doesn’t seem to cause any issues. Shopping at farmers markets directly supports the farmers and helps preserve California’s farmland. Two year-round markets in Sacramento are the Sunday Farmers Market under the freeway at 8th and W streets, and Saturday’s Midtown Farmers Market on 20th Street between J and K streets. Many other markets will pop up throughout the city as springtime approaches. Tessa Marguerite Outland can be reached at tessa.m.outland@gmail.com.

Power to the Pets SACRAMENTO RENTERS FACE LACK OF AFFORDABLE ANIMAL-FRIENDLY HOUSING

hen the owner of a Tahoe Park rental home abruptly sold the house, Kelly Cunningham and her 37-pound Australian shepherd mix, Sadie, found themselves unexpectedly searching for a new place to live. “I started looking for housing and was completely dismayed,” Cunningham says. “There was a

scarcity in rentals that would take pets, specifically a 37-pound dog.” Cunningham learned of a petfriendly rental house near Tahoe Park, complete with a dedicated dog area in the backyard. “I arrived after work during the open house and the agent told me I would have had to arrive at the start. She was already buried in applications and my likelihood of getting the place was next to nothing.” Cunningham inquired about other possibilities. “The agent said, ‘We have no other pet-friendly homes in our system’”—a system with approximately 200 dwellings for rent. “The lack of pet-friendly rentals is a problem,” says David Dickinson,

director of the Sacramento County Animal Shelter on Bradshaw. “Responsible owners need options for rentals.” A search on the real estate database Zillow finds 1,260 available rental homes, condos, townhouses and apartments in Sacramento County. Of those, 499 allow cats, 524 small dogs and 173 large dogs (the definition of small and large dogs varies by rental property). In the 994 square miles that make up Sacramento County, approximately 14 percent of rentals allow large dogs. “I don’t consider 37 pounds a very large dog,” Cunningham says. “But so many draw the line with a small dog or one pet only.”

Available housing options show landlords and management agencies tend to be more amiable to felines and small canines. “Cats can be easily litter box trained and typically do not do damage to dwellings,” Dickinson says. “Dogs are also easily house trained.” After about two months of “worrying and searching,” Cunningham finally landed a duplex in River Park. “At first the landlord said no to dogs.” However, to a strong referral from a friend who rents the other half of the duplex, the landlord agreed to an interview. Renters have to become animal advocates, Cunningham says. Start by suggesting a pet interview. “Make

If you have a certificate of behavior training, bring it.” Cunningham also recommends a letter of referral from past landlords. “If you lapsed on training with your dog, get back to basics,” with commands like sit, down and stay. “Make sure your dog is ready for the interview,” she says. Also, offer to add a statement to the lease agreement that the renter will pay for damages caused by the animal. “If something happens in a house you’re renting, be honest and up front and repair that damage with the landlord’s permission,” Cunningham says. “Be a good renter. A good dog citizen. A good dog advocate.” As the dog foster coordinator for the East Sacramento-based rescue group Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary, Cunningham has firsthand experience with pet owners facing a lack of affordable housing. Requests to surrender animals to Happy Tails has increased over the last two years, she says. “There were a lot of requests in 2019. People having to move. People in tears who

cannot find housing they can afford that allows animals. That’s been a conversation I’ve had over and over again,” she says. “If you think you have to part ways with your animal, you need to plan ahead,” she adds. “Contact rescue groups or make an appointment at the SPCA right away.” The Sacramento SPCA, which mainly accepts owner-surrendered pets, tracks the reasons why people give up their companion animals. In 2019, 255 cats (19 percent of total feline surrenders) and 468 dogs (24 percent of canine surrenders) were given up due to housing-related issues, including foreclosures, homelessness, inadequate houses or yards, landlord rules and moving. “Sacramento is rated as one of the most dog-friendly cities in the nation, yet housing is still one of the top reasons why animals are surrendered by their owners,” says SSPCA CEO Kenn Altine. “As Gov. Newsom boldly pushes to end euthanasia of adoptable or treatable pets in California’s shelters, we must address the reasons

4315 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95820

www.cbhs-sacramento.org/summer-program why they are entering shelters, including housing-related issues.” Newsom’s inclusion of $50 million in his 2020-21 budget proposal to help California become a “no-kill” state has won praise and skepticism among animal advocates. “If Gov. Newsom’s investment in California becoming a no-kill is going to be successful, then we’ve got to change the way landlords and building owners look at pet ownership. And also help renters understand their rights and obligations,” Cunningham says. “Lack of pet-friendly housing is a major reason for pet abandonment and relinquishment to animal shelters,” according to the No Kill Advocacy Center, which offers model legislation to prohibit housing discrimination against people with animal companions. “As long as reasonable concerns about pets are addressed—such as a deposit against damage—the privilege of living with a dog, cat or other animal should not be reserved to those fortunate enough to own their own home.”

With pet-friendly housing comes an additional monthly rental charge, as well as an often-hefty pet deposit. The Zillow search found prices for petfriendly rentals ranging from $925 a month for a one-bedroom apartment to $5,000 a month for a six-bedroom home. With all the new multi-unit housing being built in Sacramento, Cunningham is hopeful there will be more affordable options for people with companion animals. “Landlords are a huge part of the issue. By saying no to animals, they are ending up in the shelters and rescues. These animals are the unseen victims.” “Landlords have all the power,” Cunningham adds. “They have to recognize pets as family. They are saying no to someone’s emotional support. Money cannot be the sole factor.” Cathryn Rakich can be reached at crakich@surewest.net. Previous columns can be found and shared at the all-new InsideSacramento.com.

quamarine Jewelers’ motto is “Your jeweler for life”—and owner Aiman Nasrawi means it. “My business is built on trust,” says the master jeweler, designer and store proprietor, who recently relocated his 25-year-old

business to Five Points Plaza in Carmichael. “To me, selling an item is not what I’m after. I’m not here to make a bunch of money and leave. We specialize in custom designs—retail is secondary, so we don’t have a high markup. We’re all about getting to know people, making them happy and having repeat customers. We’re in it for life.” Nasrawi has, in fact, been in the jewelry business for nearly his whole life. A native of Amman, Jordan, he grew up in the industry thanks to his two uncles who designed pieces for big manufacturers all over the world. After falling in love with the process of jewelry making—seeing it go from “batch to finish” before his very eyes—Nasrawi

bugged his uncles until they let him start designing at age 13. Nasrawi’s brother was also interested in the business and moved to the U.S. to open his own jewelry store in San Francisco, eventually relocating to Sacramento after the 1989 earthquake. Nasrawi followed—initially to be his brother’s best man at his wedding, but he fell in love with the area and decided to stay and work in his brother’s store. Nasrawi’s talent did not go unnoticed. In 1996, he set up a small shop of his own, Aquamarine Jewelers, to do repairs for larger jewelry retailers (most shops don’t have jewelers on-site). He also started working with Nordstrom Fine Jewelry, which

turned into seven years of doing design and repair for the department store’s Sacramento, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton and San Francisco locations. Nasrawi’s workmanship proved so popular that he eventually had to move out of his 400-square-foot workshop and into a larger space to accommodate the clientele who flocked to him not only for his undetectable repairs of heirloom pieces—his specialty—but also his original custom designs. “When you love something, you’ll do magic,” Nasrawi explains. “Especially when you see the look on the customers’ faces when they get exactly what they’re looking for.” A 15-year resident of Carmichael, Nasrawi always dreamed of someday setting up shop in Five Points Plaza—a mere 1 minute from his house. When he finally spotted a “For Lease” sign in the ever-popular center on Arden Way that also houses Bella Bru, 24-Hour Fitness and Matteo’s Pizza & Bistro, Nasrawi jumped on it. He moved into the center in November and has no plans to leave—he signed a 20-year lease. Nasrawi says he’s been touched by the outpouring of support from the Carmichael community. Neighbors stopped in to welcome him, the Carmichael Chamber of Commerce helped with the grand opening and ribbon cutting, and a representative from Assemblymember Ken Cooley’s office presented Aquamarine Jewelers with a certificate of recognition. As someone who is very committed to his community (Nasrawi sponsors all kinds of organizations, including Make a Wish, Junior League, Alzheimer’s Association, Roseville Police Department, March of Dimes and Sacramento Fashion Week), the designer is beyond pleased that his fellow Sacramentans continue to embrace him and turn to him for his extensive expertise in the artform he loves best. “I’ve had some of the same customers since 1996,” Nasrawi says. “A little baby who used to come to the store with her grandmother just had a baby of her own. Being here 25 years, I’ve seen my community grow up—and I’m not going anywhere.” He’s in it for life. For more information, visit aquamarinejewelers.com.

Another Reason to have the right living trust: The trust lawyer from out of town, Frank... • He travels the state to market living trusts at high-pressure dinners and seminars. • He works hard to sell lots of documents, but not to help you make the right choices. • Have questions? Need changes? You’ll have to call his real office in Southern California. • His prices sound fine, but it costs time and money when he makes mistakes. • He’ll be long gone by the time your heirs learn what kind of plan you have.

Crowded Out

TRANSIT SOLUTIONS NEEDED FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE

he world’s population keeps growing. In 1900, the planet was home to 1.6 billion people. Today, the population is 7.7 billion and it’s projected to approach 10 billion in the next 30 years. Most of the growth will be in urbanized areas. The California Department of Finance expects Sacramento County’s population to increase 54 percent by 2060—nearly 800,000 more people. El Dorado and Placer counties are growing at faster rates. Yolo County is just behind. Those three counties could add another 430,000 residents to the region’s population, bringing the newcomer total to more than 1.2 million. Population growth is good for land speculators and developers, who usually lean on the rest of us to contribute monetarily to the infrastructure— sewers, new roads and freeway

interchanges—needed to accommodate more housing. People, including politicians, don’t generally talk about population growth as a problem, but the Earth’s resources are finite. There are only so many mineral deposits. The amount of arable land is limited, yet agricultural land is being taken out of production due to growth and lost to erosion and climate change. Fishery production is limited and overfishing is a problem. Hydraulic fracking has delayed the inevitable decline in oil production (and increase in prices), but carries environmental consequences. In California, for every 100 people there are 75 cars. How will the 1.2 million more people in the Sacramento region, who need to commute, go to school, shop, socialize and recreate, get around in 40 years? Today, most use cars. Yet congestion is already the biggest transportation problem people name. Can we, or should we, build our way out of congestion while adding more people? Are we condemned to be like a dog chasing its tail, hoping for relief while eternally stuck in traffic? “Smart growth” has been the recent, more progressive way to deal with population growth. Essentially, smart growth is infill housing and denser development. While smart growth may be better than dumb sprawl in reducing the length of trips, it is still growth

and still results in more people and more trips. Further, our track record on smart growth has not been good. Fast growing Roseville, Elk Grove and Natomas all pretty much mandate longer trips made by driving to get anywhere. If population growth is a given (not that it should be), the options for dealing with its effects on transportation and road congestion are few. We can pave more of the countryside. We can discourage all trips. We can try to shift trips from single occupant vehicles to carpools, transit, walking and biking. Building new roads and interchanges is expensive. Widening existing roads is costly and often impractical. Are we to double-deck freeways through areas that are already developed? Unfortunately, adding road capacity induces more people to drive. Adding road capacity doesn’t seem to be a winning proposition economically and is environmentally untenable. Adding transit capacity is also expensive and, especially for railbased transit, construction time can be measured in decades. It demands housing density to be efficient. One big advantage of transit is that it can be scaled up without raising the same issues as catering to more automobiles. Service frequency can be bumped up. More cars can be added to trains.

Automobile trips can be discouraged through congestion fees, tolls, higher gas taxes and parking fees. Those are all economically justified, but politically unpopular. Some observers believe we will always have to live with congestion made worse by population growth. It’s too costly to build a road network that is uncongested during peak hours when those same roads would be grossly overbuilt for traffic volumes during most hours of the day. As long as populations keep growing, the onslaught of humanity will complicate any plans to improve personal mobility. Demand for getting around keeps increasing. Creating the supply to meet that demand gets more expensive to build and maintain. Perhaps we will be permanently condemned to being stuck with our newest neighbors on crowded highways. Or will we recognize that perpetual population growth is not a good thing? Walt Seifert is executive director of Sacramento Trailnet, an organization devoted to promoting greenways with paved trails.

Saying ‘Thank You’ WHEN GRATITUDE HAS A DEEPER MEANING

t was an icy morning when I trudged the uphill sidewalk that skirts the University of Nevada campus. Behind me, I heard the huffing of a fellow student approaching on his bicycle and I moved to my right to yield for faster traffic. However, I unwittingly detoured the bicyclist already approaching my right and sent him onto a muddy knoll. He managed to stay upright as he passed me. Then, with his tires spitting mud and his voice dripping sarcasm, he yelled, “Thank you SO much!” Unlike the rider, our thanks will often have some basis in sincerity. Yet most of the time, we express it in an automatic manner as a throw-away nicety. We use the polite “thank you”

NB By Norris Burkes Spirit Matters

IA APR n 20

for people who hold a door open, serve our food or give us a printed program. Occasionally, beyond this level of mannerly gratitude, we venture deeper by offering a thankful tone for the mindful effort someone makes specifically on our behalf. For instance, before I run in a local 10K, I thank race organizers and volunteers. During the race, I will break from my runner’s mental zone to yell, “Thank you, Sacramento PD,” or I’ll give a running applause to the roadside musical entertainers. I do this because I am sympathizing with the laborious effort they’re making to help my cause. Their sheepish, smiling response often tells me they are humbled that I’ve interrupted my runner’s focus to salute their work. But “thank you” goes deeper when the person receiving the thanks echoes your remark. By returning your expression they are acknowledging your effort to be present with their life difficulties. I was visiting a hospice patient when I was blessed with this deeper

expression of gratitude. I arrived at the man’s house to find him better dressed than on recent visits. He wasn’t wearing the typical attire of hospice patients, which is often pajamas, sweatpants or blue jeans. My new friend was sporting slacks, a collared shirt and loafers. “You are looking dapper today,” I told the 90-year-old. “Thank you,” he said. “I told my family that I wanted to look nice today because my chaplain was coming for a visit.” “Ah, thank you,” I said, gushing sincerity. My gratitude centered around two things. First, the nonagenarian paid me a high compliment through his words, “my chaplain.” He is well respected in the religious community for his humanitarian efforts, so he’s likely had many “pastors.” But that day, he singled me out as “my chaplain.” But more than that, I was thanking him because he knew that I knew the honor of being invited into the home of a dying person. He was reflecting that honor by dressing in the attire that

made him feel most like the person he remembered himself to be. Through our mutual recognition of gratitude, he found a safe place to express himself. In the next hour, we shared some laughs, tears, heartaches and celebrations. As I left, he thanked me for coming. Gratefully, his last expression was nothing like I’d heard from the cyclist. You’re likely wondering how I responded to the two-wheeled weaver. Well, in a tone that matched the morning frost, I simply shouted, “You’re welcome!” It’s unlikely the guy will ever come to know me as “my chaplain.” Norris Burkes can be reached at comment@thechaplain.net.

Master Class CURTIS PARK HOME MAINTAINS ORIGINAL OLD-WORLD CHARM

ill Harms is an artist and craftsman who studied with a master in Germany. In 1957, Harms migrated to New York with his parents and siblings. A year later, they crossed the country by bus and landed in Sacramento.

“We got out on L Street where the Greyhound bus station was,” Harms says. His first impression was a sleepy village. But the family soon found an apartment at 23rd and G streets, and “that’s when we started loving the area.” On practically a handshake, they purchased a quaint two-story English Tudor built in 1925 in Curtis Park. “The owner said he was interested in selling it to us, so we opened the doors and windows, and started painting and texturing,” Harms recalls. More than six decades later, Harms now shares the 2,200-square-foot home with partner Allison Sabraw, who he met as a neighbor. “I lived right across the street,” Sabraw says. “He was always coming over to visit. We’d have wine and talk. We were really good friends, and it’s just evolved over the years.”

The four-bedroom two-bath home has seen various upgrades over the years. “What we haven’t done is knock out walls,” Sabraw says. When the Harms family bought the house in 1959, they went to work texturing and painting the walls and ceilings. They also added wood beams in the dining room. Today, each room sports a different vibrant wall color, such as ruby red (handmade by Harms) in the dining room, terra-cotta clay paint in the living room and chartreuse in the kitchen. The moldings, baseboards, doublehung windows and a built-in cabinet in the dining room are original. Harm’s brother, who also trained as a craftsman in Germany, replicated another builtin cabinet in the breakfast nook. Also original is the extra-wide, vertical-grain front door with its window and glass doorknob. Harms created an archway between the breakfast nook and kitchen to replace a “pretty ugly” door, he says. Harms and his brother added three more arches throughout the home,

IA APR n 20

including a curved pine door, distressed to appear aged, that leads to a wine cellar in the basement. The kitchen has been updated with green Italian tile countertops on one side and butcher block, flanking the stove, on the other. Harms’ brother created new kitchen cabinets with solid-pine doors recessed to replicate the original cabinets. “We made sure to copy the old doors exactly,” Harms says. Two layers of old linoleum in the kitchen, pantry and breakfast nook were ripped up and replaced with engineered hardwood to match the original oak floors throughout the rest of the home. The kitchen leads to a family room with a bar, formerly a linen closet, where the couple entertains. The bar, another creation by Harms’ skilled brother, features hand-finished Honduran mahogany countertop and open shelves. A small window and door in the family room were replaced with a new sliding glass door leading to the brick backyard patio where guests can gather. The lush garden is surrounded by apple, pomegranate and birch trees providing shade and privacy. Up the staircase with its original railing is a bedroom where the walls are covered with grass cloth hung by Harms’ father. “I didn’t have the heart to tear it out,” Harms says. “So I painted over it. You have to keep some things to remember your folks by.” Painted knotty-pine panels line the walls and ceiling of another bedroom, which Sabraw calls her retreat. A small window was replaced with a larger version that looks out over the Curtis

Park neighborhood. “When girlfriends come over, we come up here and hang out,” Sabraw says. The upstairs bathroom underwent a “semi-major” remodel. “It was horrendous looking when we bought the place,” Harms notes. The remodel was twofold over many years, first to expand the footprint and then to refashion the design, which included replacing the old concrete shower. “With old homes there is a constant need to scope things out to upgrade or repair. Bill takes it on as God-given task,” Sabraw says.

“Some people work with their hands. Some with their brains,” Harms adds. “Mine is with my hands.” The Curtis Park Home & Garden Tour, originally scheduled for April 25, has been canceled.

Want to Bet? STATE READY TO DIVE INTO SPORTS WAGERING

othing bonds sports fans better than a friendly wager. Maybe $20. Or $100. No matter the dollar amount, betting on sports quickens the pulse, heightens the intensity and pulls the fan into the action. When you’ve got money riding on the game, the final score really matters.

RG By R.E. Graswich Sports Authority

IA APR n 20

Unfortunately, California sports fans transform themselves into criminals when they make a sports bet. Sports wagering is illegal in the state, whether online or between two neighbors. The only way to stay within the boundaries of California law is to make your wager in Nevada. But the game is changing. Earlier this year, the California Legislature began to examine the benefits of licensed sports betting. Gambling industry experts predict the California sports betting market could be worth $2.5 billion to bookmakers lucky enough to get a license. Sacramento has a rich history of sports betting. Legendary figures Sid

Tenner and Greg Tomita paid their rent servicing sports fans and satisfying the human hunger for action. Tenner and Tomita, both long dead, were old-school bookies. Bettors would call Tenner at Georgian’s card room at 19th and J streets and bark out wagers. Tomita worked the bars, walking from Simon’s to Joe Marty’s and every saloon in between, collecting bets and paying winners. Naturally, those illicit transactions weren’t taxed. If California legalizes sports betting, fees from the billions wagered on sports will be diverted into city, county and state budgets—money that now goes untapped in the sports gambling marketplace.

Sports betting can include absurd propositions and numbingly complex possibilities. Las Vegas sports books offered 18 separate wagers on this year’s two Super Bowl quarterbacks, plus wagers on how long it would take Demi Lovato to sing the national anthem. But the fundamental issues faced by California legislators are simple. There are two big questions the state’s political leaders must answer to unlock the door to sports betting: Where should sports bookies physically locate? And how should online betting schemes operate? California already has a mature gambling infrastructure and culture. The state could accommodate physical sports bets tomorrow. More than 70 card rooms operate in communities as diverse as Sacramento, Fresno, San Luis Obispo, Merced, Santa Clara, Bakersfield, San Diego and Los Angeles. Each could instantly create space to handle sports bets. Moreover, the state has 14 horse racing tracks, from Ferndale to Del Mar, all of which accept racing wagers and could accommodate sports bets within hours if laws were changed. Finally, 69 tribal casinos operate in California, including 16 resorts. With a little remodeling, each could create a lavish sports betting atmosphere. Online betting would add another dimension to California’s plunge. Online wagering means exactly what the name suggests—bettors establish an account with an offshore website, make a deposit with a credit card, bank transfer or bitcoin (offshore gambling sites generally welcome cryptocurrency), check the odds and start betting. Like any website that requires credit cards, online gambling sites have the potential to scam sports bettors. But several have operated for decades, making honest profits from the commissions paid by bettors on each wager. California would probably choose an experienced vendor to handle its online sports action. Just because the choices are simple doesn’t mean California will get sports betting right. The state’s lurch into regulated cannabis has already failed on many levels. Too bad Tenner and Tomita aren’t around to tell legislators how to cash in on a sure thing. R.E.

VOLUNTEERS BRING LIFE BACK TO HISTORIC ROSE GARDEN he renaissance of the Sacramento Historic City Cemetery is a remarkable volunteer success story. In the words of the Cemetery Master Plan, the cemetery was “barren and lifeless” until volunteers transformed a “neglected burial ground to a vibrant historic cemetery that is a horticultural attraction.” The plan states a vision for the historic cemetery, recognizing three major areas devoted to gardens: Historic Rose Garden, Hamilton Square Perennial Garden and California Native Plant Demonstration Garden. When I started volunteering in the rose garden 18 years ago, the cemetery was full of life. Not only did volunteers work in the three gardens, they cared for hundreds of other adopted plots. Volunteers welcomed and assisted visitors, and conducted an active

AC By Anita Clevenger Garden Jabber

program of history and garden tours, classes and events. Founded in 1992, the rose garden is a collection of more than 500 roses from historic sites throughout California that are allowed to grow large in the style of 19th century pioneer plot cemeteries. Old roses and Victorian funerary statuary and monuments are a perfect combination. The rose garden was one of the most inspiring, beautiful and romantic spots I had ever known. Climbing roses clambered up trees, extended over arbors, wrapped around tripods and fountained over supports. A team of volunteers continuously tended the garden, working to preserve its living library of roses, educate the public about them and add beauty to the cemetery. The garden received two international awards for this outstanding effort. One of its many foreign visitors, the president of the United Kingdom’s Royal National Rose Society, said it well: “I feel surrounded by love.” My son and daughter-in-law were married beneath their favorite cemetery rose arbor last April. Many wedding guests expected a somber, funereal

atmosphere. Instead, they were stunned by the beauty of the setting. Most of the wedding guests didn’t realize that city staff had directed the removal of all supports and climbing plants from the cemetery several years earlier, and set requirements to move, remove or cut back many other plants. Their rationale was questioned during heated statements to the Preservation Commission. Rose lovers throughout the world pleaded for the roses to be saved. Staff agreed to a moratorium until revised horticultural guidelines were developed cooperatively. The good news is that a muchimproved set of guidelines was finally approved a year ago. The bad news is they were never implemented. This past winter, staff brought in an outside rosarian who vigorously pruned all of the roses in the collection. The climbing roses within the cemetery were cut back severely, and most of their supports were removed. Roses are tough. They will grow back, some stronger than ever. However, the amount of bloom will be significantly less this spring, and the beauty and romance of the garden may never be the same.

The wedding guests also didn’t realize that cemetery volunteers were under siege, with staff demanding that volunteers sign a very restrictive agreement that included a gag order. I could not bring myself to sign it, and was dismissed as a volunteer the day before the wedding. Other garden volunteers throughout the cemetery chose to leave, feeling that their efforts were neither appreciated nor supported. Staff got the control they wanted, but at a steep cost. A few rose garden volunteers proved they are as tough as the roses. They signed the agreement and continued to work in the garden, hoping to preserve the roses and beauty of this unique garden, develop a cooperative relationship with staff and rebuild a volunteer team. I and others supported them behind the scenes, advising and helping to plan and conduct tours and events sponsored by our parent nonprofit, the Old City Cemetery Committee. We’ve propagated some of the best roses from the collection for the annual Open Gardens and Rose Sale, scheduled for April 18–19. Every year, people line up excitedly waiting for the sale to begin. Even though its gardens are diminished, the cemetery is still a beautiful and historic place. It can have a renaissance once again if staff embraces history, horticulture and volunteers in accordance with the Master Plan. Roses can regrow. New and better supports can be installed. Volunteers can be encouraged once again. All you need is love. The Open Gardens and Rose Sale will be Saturday, April 18, from 9:30 a.m.–2 pm, and Sunday, April 19, from 11 a.m.–2 p.m. at the Sacramento Historic City Cemetery at 1000 Broadway. For a catalog of plants for sale and schedule of events, visit cemeteryrose.org or the Facebook page. The next UC Master Gardener Open Garden will be Wednesday, April 15, from 9 a.m.–noon at the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center at 11549 Fair Oaks Blvd. in Fair Oaks.

to imagine it—she’s lived it. Berube recently returned from an artist residency at Chateau d’Orquevaux in ChampagneArdenne, France, after receiving the prestigious Denis Diderot Grant, which helps offset the cost of room

and board. (Residency fees go toward restoring the historic chateau, which traces its artistic roots back to Denis Diderot, an art critic and philosopher in the 1700s.) Selected from 400 international applicants, Folsom resident Berube spent one month roaming the grounds of the splendid chateau and nearby village, painting in a private studio and communing with 15 other artists. “It was the most magical thing that’s ever happened to me,” says Berube, whose artistry spans painting, photography and jewelry. “When I first arrived, I thought, ‘No one’s going to believe this is real.’ My mind was blown.” Berube has always found inspiration in nature, thanks in part to a childhood spent in Montana. Her work features botanical prints, effervescent bubbles and bright colors using monoprinting, acrylic and resin. Her immersion in the picturesque French countryside provided a welcome visual palette from which to paint—and consider her next creative move. “I’d been wanting to experiment with more figurative work,” Berube explains, citing Native American lore (she’s part Cherokee) as a big inspiration. “I’m not supercemented in my style—I’m still finding my voice—but I was way out of my comfort zone with all of these accomplished artists. You want to show them what you can do, not show them these wonky things you’re working on. But then I realized, if not here, where? Having uninterrupted time is such a gift. I decided to take a risk and experiment. My biggest take away was the feedback I received from the other artists.” Berube is no stranger to feedback, being quite active (and quite popular)

on Instagram—where, in fact, she first discovered the Chateau d’Orquevaux residency. Her work has also been featured in British GQ, House & Garden Britain and Folsom’s Style Magazine, as well as on the walls of The Urban Hive and Studio 10 in Sacramento, Blue Line Arts in Roseville and the now-defunct DaDa gallery. With her creative spirit renewed after her stint in France, Berube has embraced a new focus on the figurative, as well as a new business venture—art tourism. Since she studied hospitality in college and spent years as a tour manager before dedicating herself to art full-time, Berube is eager to get back to one of her first loves—travel—and combine it with her other love—art. “As an artist, you’re always thinking about other avenues to make income,” says Berube, who credits her husband’s immense support as a crucial part of her success. “I’ve gone to several retreats and each time I’ve

thought, ‘I could do this.’ I want to expose people to different cultural experiences—especially women.” Because women often feel nervous traveling alone, Berube’s goal is to create a women’s travel group that offers small tours (so as not to require a tour bus) to locations off the beaten path where she’ll arrange cultural classes with local artists. She plans to start with San Miguel, Mexico, and add destinations in Europe, with tours available as soon as 2021. She and her husband are even starting to scout locations in France for a possible artist residency of their own, though the plans are in the very early stages. “It feels like everything is coming full circle,” Berube says. “Combining my love of travel and art, sistership and nature just feels like the right thing to do.” No doubt it will be magical.

Staying on Track LOCAL BREWERY EXPANDS WITH EAST SAC RESTAURANT

n the early 2000s, local breweries began popping up where no food or drink establishments dared to open before. Light industrial areas, warehouse districts and other commercial spots where rent was cheap and square footage plentiful became destinations for a new generation of brewer. One of Sacramento’s first such breweries was Track 7 Brewing Company, which opened in 2011. The award-winning beer-maker set up shop in a “roll-up door” strip of industrial shops near the train tracks adjacent to Sacramento City College. This out-of-the-way spot turned out to be a popular destination for local beer enthusiasts and set up Track 7 as a standard bearer for Sacramento’s new brewing boom. The Curtis Park-area brewery and taproom expanded, and a second Natomas brewery and taproom opened. Last year, the popular brewery expanded even further, opening The Other Side, an East Sacramento restaurant. This new enterprise brought the ethos of Track 7’s low-frills, industrial pedigree right to the middle of one of Sacramento’s poshest neighborhoods and most bustling restaurant rows. Nestled on the corner of 51st Street and

Folsom Boulevard, The Other Side finds itself just blocks away from some of the city’s best casual dining at One Speed and Origami, steps from neighborhood favorites like The Shack and Three Sisters, and a stone’s throw from what is possibly Sacramento’s best fine dining at Allora. What, then, would The Other Side bring to the neighborhood? Sass. That’s what. Pairing simple food and creative beer is no mean feat, and The Other Side has got it nailed. Starting with a menu focused on rotisserie cooking and impeccable execution, The Other Side does things right in almost every way. From brunch to dinner, wings to poutine, this place is hitting the beer snacks and gastro pub vibe right in the kisser. Let’s start with brunch, because I don’t want the rather insanely perfect execution in this otherwise underwhelming category to go unnoticed. Let me put this simply: The Other Side serves the best brunch I’ve had in quite a while. The Monte Cristo sandwich is an item frequently attempted, but rarely perfected. I’d go as far as to say that The Other Side serves a perfect Monte Cristo. Is it iconic? Probably not. Is it traditional? Not quite. But the ham and cheese sandwich brunched up with orange marmalade, berry consommé and powdered sugar, then deep fried in tempura batter, is one of the few things that my wife has refused to share with me in the decade we’ve been together. It’s the best MC I’ve had in my eating years.

However, if the brunch sandwich isn’t your thing, then the fried chicken on a biscuit and gravy is so ridiculously good that you’ll quickly forget how unbelievably indulgent it is. The sunnyside egg topped on the expertly fried chicken topped on the gorgeously gravysoaked biscuit is simply phenomenal. I couldn’t get enough of it. Being a brewery, The Other Side serves my favorite brunch drink as well, the Beer-mosa. A lovely tulip of Belgian ale with a splash of orange juice. This treat is what makes Sunday mornings happy. The regular menu aims for more sharable plates and simple deliciousness. A rotisserie plate of chicken, pork or cauliflower gets served with spot-on pita and sauces. Add on a couple of sides like golden beets and jalapeno slaw, and you’ve really got something. The more indulgent parts of the menu usually include the indulgently indulgent (did I mention indulgent) beer cheese. Man, it’s good. Dip your pretzels in it. Spread it on your fries. Make mac and cheese with it. Slather it on your meats. It doesn’t matter where you put it, the beer cheese will make anything better. Oh, and let’s not forget the burger. The Other Side serves what I like to call the dirty American burger. A thin patty with iceberg, thousand island, tomato and bacon add up to a perfect combo of American eating. They call it the T7B Classic. I call it delicious. This is a light-service, order-atthe-counter kind of place. Seating is communal for the most part with

ample outdoor tables and a convivial atmosphere. There’s beer and wine and soft drinks. There’s plenty of room for the kiddos and adults to enjoy themselves shoulder to shoulder. I’m personally happy to see a well-regarded brewery expand into an impressive dining experience. The Other Side has a bright future and killer menu that will make it a neighborhood favorite for years to come. If nothing else, you owe it to yourself to show up for weekend brunch and devour that Monte Cristo! The Other Side by Track 7 is at 5090 Folsom Blvd.; (916) 475-1875; track7brewing.com.
