CHALLENGING INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT REQUIRES FINE TUNING OF OPERATIONS

or more than a decade, the death of printed news has been heralded among the smart set. Readers over 50 might recall predictions about a society absent of all paper when the digital age began more than 25 years ago. A look around our homes and offices today will tell you otherwise! While almost everything arrives electronically, companies have discovered humans can easily overlook or lose track of electronic communications. Therefore, physical paper backups are required to get and hold readers’ attentions and move them to action. We founded Inside Publications in 1996 amid this climate and anticipated it might be an uphill battle. But looking back on more than 20 years, our experience would be better described as an opportunity. We took a radically different approach and delivered local news unavailable elsewhere, directly to neighborhood

homes at no cost to our readers. Our model was based on being fully financed by small-business advertisers. Those advertisers have remained loyal because they see value in reaching audiences that surround their businesses. And some things changed. When we started, readers typically maintained a paid subscription to a regional daily newspaper for local news. As we approach our 25th anniversary in 2021, we are refining and refocusing what we do. Recent paper price increases amounting to more than $3,000 a month have been tough to swallow. The margins in our business can’t absorb significant cost increases without greater revenue from advertising. So we are working on multiple fronts to grow our business and become even more efficient with technology. Our five monthly editions grew over a 20-year period, one edition at a time. Each market has its own identity and stands alone in providing local news. But combined, our monthly circulation of all editions now tops 85,000. And that makes Inside Publications the largest print monthly in the region by a substantial margin. Our circulation is more than twice that of Sactown and more than triple Sacramento Magazine. We print and deliver more copies each month

than both of them combined. Only the free weekly newsstand alternative Sacramento News & Review comes close to us, and it appeals to a much different audience and younger demographic. We have no plans to abandon the neighborhood market-based editions. But we do have plans to leverage our combined circulation for what it is—an audience of more than 60 neighborhoods in five unique editions. Our demographic mix is unique and extremely attractive to local advertisers because our readers have substantially higher-than-average incomes, property values and home ownership rates than the region. Until now, we have devoted our resources almost exclusively to print. And folks often tell me how much they appreciate taking time to sit down with a cup of coffee and enjoy our paper. But we realize we have far more local content available for readers than what we have space to publish. So we are redesigning our website to be more reader and content friendly. While we have been growing for nearly a quarter-century, the naysayers who predicted doom for print were right about one local product: The Sacramento Bee. The paper’s circulation has dropped dramatically in the last decade. A

recent newsroom layoff took out many popular writers, and print subscribers are quitting in droves. My husband and I were loyal print subscribers to The Bee, beginning in 1990. But a year ago, The Bee mailed a letter congratulating us that we now could enjoy a special rate of $8.50 a week. That sounded high, so I checked my most recent annual payment. The “special” rate was actually a huge price increase. A friend told me to cancel, predicting I would be asked what price I would pay to stay. Here’s the part that made me crazy: Nowhere did the letter include a phone number or email to contact The Bee. So I went page by page through the website and finally found a number for customer service. During 20 minutes on hold waiting for a rep to answer, a screen popped up on The Bee’s site offering print and digital for $1 a week. When the rep finally answered and looked up my account, he noted the date when my home delivery would cease under my old payment plan. I asked about the $1 special, and he said I didn’t qualify! That was the end for me. On a side note, I also manage a Bee print subscription for an elderly friend. Since I pay the bill for her, I tried to use her digital access. After four calls to customer service, The Bee could not make it work. Instead,

My friend saves them for him. There are industry rumors that The Beeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s print operations will wind down in the next year or two. The paper has not made any announcements about cutting print, but signs suggest itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming. The McClatchy Co. sold the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Q Street headquarters and leased back the building. It actively encourages print customers via email to read online. The Bee has abandoned the circulation audits that were the print industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold standard just a few years ago. And last month, the regional corporate editor (the Sacramento executive editor position was eliminated) penned a front-page appeal asking readers to pony up $119 a year for digital subscriptions to allow The Bee to stay afloat and report local news. With 60,000 digital subscriptions, the editor said the revenue could finance a news organization that has been decimated over the last 10 years. The editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s begging amounted to more than $7 million annually. We could only dream of those kinds of budgets! Some people assume Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be happy if The Bee ceased printing. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the case. I believe the more local news, the betterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;our democracy depends on educated citizens, and newspapers play a big role in civic education. The only people who benefit from less news reporting are local politicians who become free to operate as if no one is watching their behavior. Even more at risk is access to diverse opinions on issues, especially controversies that involve

IA AUG n 18

local government spending, land use and social policies that impact our neighborhoods. Despite the dire predictions and gloomy situation at The Bee, newspaper subscriptions nationwide have been on the rise since 2017. A recent study found 169 million U.S. adults, who comprise 70 percent of the population, read newspapers every month. Studies also show print advertising has greater credibility with readers. Newspapers still retain audience trust. According to the News Media Alliance, fewer than 10 percent of readers report seeing â&#x20AC;&#x153;fake newsâ&#x20AC;? in their newspapers, and readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; trust of ads came in at 75 percent for national and 79 percent for local newspapers. There are also reports that folks find it much more difficult to remember what is read online. Studies show that recall of things read in hard-copy newspapers and magazines substantially exceeds those read in digital format. It has to do with the brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to visualize and then recall. The same differences also apply to the recall of advertising in print vs. digital. We employ more than two-dozen paid writers each month to bring you stories of the most interesting people, places and events, in addition to creating more than a dozen other publishing jobs. My husband and I also have found great joy in using our publications to help the local arts, volunteer and philanthropy communities reach their audiences. In 2012, when the Clunie Community Center and McKinley Rose Garden faced closure by the city,

Friends of East Sacramentoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the nonprofit that Lisa Schmidt and I foundedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;could not have moved forward without Inside Publicationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s audience and influence. The publications were integral in helping us reach donors, recognize sponsors, recruit volunteers and market the properties for rent. Six years later we raised more than $250,000 and renovated both facilities. You might not agree with everything you read from us, but you will always find valuable local content not available elsewhere. Stay tuned for some great changes!

WITH APPRECIATION Two of our most valuable employees moved on last month and I want to acknowledge the tremendous role they played in the success of our company. After more than 20 years with Inside Publications, account representative Ann Tracy has retired,

BRE #01437284

along with our editor Marybeth Bizjak. Both started in our first few years. Marybeth introduced me to her friend, Ann, when we needed a rep for our advertising sales. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter that she had no salesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience. Being an active mother of four meant she was an expert organizer. The three of us are about the same age, and our children, who are also the same ages, knew each other when they were little. Ann worked diligently and professionally with our advertisers and our staff loved her. Marybeth taught me everything I know about editing, and was the consummate professional. I valued her advice tremendously. We will miss them both but they deserve to start another chapter in their lives. We wish them only the best!

Civic projects, such as the privately funded renovations of the McKinley Rose Garden (shown here, photo taken by a drone) in 2012, would not have taken place without the support of Inside Publications.

Living Life on the Fly AMERICAN RIVER PARKWAY IS A DREAM FOR FISHING

Duffy Kelly with her catch.

he American River Parkway gets a lot of attention from the runners, cyclists, walkers, birdwatchers and river rafters in town. Everybody knows that, it seems. But come late spring and early summer, something quite literally fishy happens to the river. It’s the season when shad fishermen come out in drift boats and on foot along the American River. In some spots, dozens of fishermen stand about 10 feet apart, all fishing for shad. Many have been waiting with

(dare I say it?) “baited” breath for this time of year. Previously, when kayaking on the river, I had seen these mysterious shad fishermen. They anchor their boats upstream of Ancil Hoffman Park, in the moody waters between Sunrise Bridge and Sailor Bar. I figured these gentlemen were “regular” fishermen— ones like me who throw a line in the water and wait for hours on end for nothing to happen before calling it a day. I’d been warned as a youngster that fishing on the American was “no good.” So whenever I saw these shad fishermen, I really didn’t give them much thought. Not until now, at least. Before I learned shad fishing, I first wanted to take fly-fishing lessons from my husband, Kirk Lange, a man who is quite possibly more trout than human. For instance, he likes drinking beer with the fish in the evenings, and he wears fish clothing—fashions that trout are supposed to admire,

including waterproof jumpsuits the color of fish scales and special shoes that keep his fins dry while he’s walking in the swirling river water. While most guys might prefer bourbon after work, my husband steps right into the drink. It’s his way of relaxing. “You’ll see,” he assures me. Lesson one was putting on the great new outfit he bought me. (How sweet my man is!) The outfit consists of a rubber-like-vinyl waterproof coverall-style pantsuit. And it comes with attached waterproof padded socks—all one piece! Kirk was very excited about how these socks are actually attached to the pants—kind of like a gigantic sea otter onesie. Next on was a pair of clunky waterproof clown shoes, right over the socks, which laboriously tied on. Then I hooked the shoes to the pants with special snaps. And heaven forbid, “Don’t forget to cinch the belt,” he warned me.

It turned out the belt was not a fashion accessory. “You need it in case you fall in the water so that the water doesn’t fill up your waders,” he counseled. Visions of horror filled my mind. Would I fall in? Would water really fill up my waders and weigh me down to the bottom of the river, never to be seen again? It just might. I cinched the belt as best I could and tried to push visions of Jaws, the Titanic and Moby Dick out of my head. Kirk explained that the waders have a fantastic pocket which he stuffed with an assortment of hooks, spools of line, clippers, goo, junk and other tiny objects that I was supposed to be able to see. Except that I couldn’t. And where was I supposed to put my lipstick and my phone? Next, he told me he had a necklace for me. Finally something feminine I thought. Only this necklace was a rubbergizmo bedecked with dangling

tools such as pinchers, pullers, and pluckers, along with plastic boxes filled with fake bugs and hairy things that only gross boys like to handle. Now, the next part proved critical. I had to tie a teeny, tiny fake fly onto the end of a line. A telescope would have come in handy. As if tying one hook on wasn’t hard enough, fly fishing involves a series of lines all of descending thickness to one another before you can even begin thinking about tying the fly onto the end. I thought that was the silliest thing I had ever heard of, but kept it to myself. Kirk explained the heavier line helps you whip out the lighter line, which then drops gracefully and realistically on top of the water. “It’s all about the presentation of the fly,” he explained. Next we covered the fly with some gooey stuff that was conveniently tied to my neck. This helped the fly float on top of the water. After about 95 minutes of painstaking attempts to thread and twist little holes and loops into a secure strand, we had our rods ready. Fishing is not for the impatient. Kirk then gave me explicit instruction on just how to hold my pole while walking. One finger here, the other there, balancing the pole just so, weighted perfectly yah high he counseled. I wondered why I couldn’t just hold it the way I wanted. “Because. Just follow me to the water,” he instructed. Traipsing behind as he swashbuckled through beetles and branches along the riverbank, my feet got sucked into mud and my face scratched just trying to keep my pole out of loose limbs. Just when I decided snakes wouldn’t be able to bite through my waders, I tripped over a log that was disguised as a soft pillow of grass. “Watch out for logs,” he yelled without looking back. My fall made my stomach feel like a roller coaster. Fortunately, my fear of snakes helped me quickly get back onto my feet. Without so much as a warning, Kirk, just like that, started walking in the river, stepping on boulders, getting farther and farther out. The current made a wake below him. I reluctantly followed. The deeper I

got, the more the cold water sucked at my waders, pressing them around my legs and body as though they had a muscular grip on me. I wobbled in the current, struggled to keep my balance. I realized I had to stand sideways to reduce the surface area of my body exposed to the current. My imagination started reeling, and I saw myself falling and getting swept away. “I’m not very tall, you know!” I yelled to him. “Hey, I’m not as big as you are!” Neither cry elicited a response. He just kept walking deeper and farther toward the middle. Girls would never fish like this, I muttered to myself. We are way too smart for such nonsense. I was left starting to really question this whole thing. When I finally caught up to him and secured my footing against two rocks, with the water up past my bellybutton, but below the cinched belt, we were ready to start casting.

achieve the perfect timing at dropping the fly back on the water. This is the beautiful part of fly fishing—when the motion of the line and rod becomes like a quiet dance filled with a controlled anticipation. You can’t be too quick or whippy with the rod because you can spook the fish or get your line tangled. At the same time, you can’t be so relaxed that you miss the split second when the fish bites. This moment in time is the only chance you’ll have to set the hook. The river was rushing. Birds were chirping, and fish were jumping all around us. Kirk directed me to a little pool of water where he was sure my fish was just waiting for me. Back and forth I cast into the pool, aiming for little circles in the water, proof of life below. I actually saw the entire body of a fish jump out of the water right near my fly, arching like a tiny dolphin.

THIS IS THE BEAUTIFUL PART OF FLY FISHING—WHEN THE MOTION OF THE LINE AND ROD BECOMES LIKE A QUIET DANCE FILLED WITH A CONTROLLED ANTICIPATION.

This was the fun part. The goal of casting the fly rod amounts to gently tossing your line out so the fly on the end appears real to the fish. It should land naturally on the water, then float in the drift of the current downstream without dragging. Once your fly starts to drag, you gently use your rod to lift the fly out of the water and begin the graceful art of fly casting—taking the fly up and over your head, propelling the line behind you to build momentum and then gently tossing the line forward and upstream in a controlled flick. This starts the whole process again. You do this back and forth over your head to direct the fly until you

Again I cast right at that spot. This time I felt a big pull and I was sure something was on my line. I was so excited that I had a fish! My heart leapt. One second, two seconds, three seconds, then suddenly poof. Something happened and my line went slack. My fish got away. That single moment in time, when the fish takes the line, is so much more than just hooking a fish. It’s that split second that makes you forget absolutely everything in the world and fills you with a laser lust to seek, stalk and conquer. All the bulky, unfamiliar gear; all the frustration of tying lines and getting stuck by sharp hooks; all the trepidation about hiking the rocks in

a cold current of rushing water; all of that meant nothing. This was it. I would keep trying and trying, despite the sun setting and the shadows fading. Kirk explained that the best time for fishing was upon us, just before it was too dark to see. Salmon flies and pale morning dun were drumming in the night. Little bugs and moths were everywhere. I needed to bat them away from my face while casting. Wham! I felt it. I got one! This time my fish was hooked tightly. It bent my rod and I could feel him fighting, trying to swim this way and that. The thrill arrives and the world fades and all effort is to catch this one fish. I tried to bring it in gently, imagining the hook in his mouth, letting him swim toward me while reeling. Being slow, steady and completely focused is key, careful not to fight so hard I break the line, but tough enough not to let him shake himself off the hook. Catching a fish, I find out, is more than just hooking it. It’s also about the give and take of drawing that hooked fish in until you can hold it in your hand. My trusty teacher told me to work the fish into a spot of calm water. We kept it there in a net and got our hands wet before touching him to prevent damaging the tender skin. Surprisingly, it’s easy to get the barbless hook out by turning the fish just right. My trout was only about 6 inches. But it was huge to me. You’re free I think as it swims away. I was left filled with undeniable exhilaration. And so was my introduction to fly fishing. I’m now ready for shad fishing lessons on the American River. It has to be easier! This summer we met several shad fishing guides who escort fishermen on evening trips from Sailor Bar.

CARMICHAEL COUPLE REMEMBERED FOR A LIFETIME OF GOOD WORK

The popular Carmichael couple, Sue Joy and Richard Bristow, recently died in a tragic air crash.

ike Jack and Jill, Richard and Sue Joy Bristow walked up the hill on Deodar Street daily. They strode around their Carmichael neighborhood hand in hand. I recently pulled over and offered my friends a ride home. “No thanks,” they laughed. “Hiking around together is something we love.” Their kids had all moved away. The Bristows were now an energetic partnership, enjoying retirement that was a series of mostly outdoor adventures. In their private aircraft,

they buzzed away to famous aviation events. “Richard and Sue Joy were always taking off somewhere,” observes a neighbor. On a sunny day last month, the Bristows (both 67) took off and never came back. Their aircraft plummeted after takeoff from Petaluma Municipal Airport in Sonoma County. “Dad had piloted that plane thousands of times,” attests his son, Bobby. “We’d all flown with him. We know how careful he was. We can’t imagine the accident was caused by anything other than major mechanical failure.” While still under investigation, the event is an undisputed community tragedy. More than 500 relatives, friends and members of Sacramento’s real estate fraternity attended the Bristow memorial event at Bayside Church in Roseville. Afterward, four

small aircraft flew over the church in “missing man” formation. “Mom

and Dad would have loved that,” says Bobby, tearfully glancing at the sky. Richard and Sue Joy were highflying adventurers. Richard earned his pilot’s license while in high school and flew for more than 50 years. He was a career real estate broker, but also worked on aircraft with the same precision he had constructing model locomotives and restoring antique clocks. In the Bristow house, miniature trains ran room to room at rafter level. Model aircraft hung suspended from the ceiling. Bobby inherited his father’s technical genius and together they created an electronic sound-andlight show that annually filled their cul-de-sac with Christmas crowds. This began when Bobby set out to give his Dad a special Christmas during his recovery from cancer. Visitors brought food donations for charitable organizations, reinforcing the family’s ethic of giving back to the community. Their bigger causes were less razzle-dazzle, but more life changing. Richard and Sue Joy supported Sacramento’s Kiwanis Family House

Richard Bristow was an experienced pilot.

Model trains were a passion shared by Richard Bristow and his son, Bobby. Photos courtesy of the Bristow family. and an organization called Angel Flight, a nonprofit that provides free air transportation for medical treatment. Pilots absorb flight expenses. In his many years with the organization, Richard flew hundreds of missions. “When people ask what I’m doing the next day, it’s great to say I’m flying a cancer patient to treatment,” he said. “You just feel so good about flying and good about the day.” The Bristows were boosters of the Experimental Aircraft Association and its Young Eagles program, which introduces youth to aviation. With a network of volunteer pilots, the group has given more than 2 million children free flights. “Dad had loved flight since he was a little boy,” explains daughter Heatherlee. “He wanted kids to share the opportunities he had. Through the years, he inspired several to follow their dreams into aviation careers.” EAA recently announced plans to initiate a training scholarship in the couple’s name. Sharing also spilled into Richard Bristow’s professional life. In a long history with Coldwell Banker, the broker befriended clients and colleagues alike. “So many of us learned from Richard,” says former co-worker Ron Greenwood. “He never let his competitive spirit impede what

was best for a client or a fellow agent. He gave me a nugget of wisdom: Never count your money before a deal is closed. A deal was something you must carefully tend till the very end.” Artistic and vivacious Sue Joy worked in a medical office before marrying Richard and becoming a full-time mom. “They had the best partnership you could hope for,” says daughter Jennifer. “Even after 40 years together, mom was always still excited about going on a date with dad.” Moving from Missouri in the 1950s, Sue Joy Lynn and her family settled a block from the Bristow’s Arden Park home. Although they attended school together and their families were friendly, Richard and Sue Joy barely spoke. Each had early marriages and a daughter a piece before rediscovering each other in 1978. “They both had daughters the same age and we all started bike riding and picnicking like a family,” recalls Heatherlee. “It wasn’t long before dad swept mom away to the Golden Gate Bridge and proposed. From sharing a burger to cycling the 237-mile Katy Trail in Missouri, they relished every moment they had together.” Their final adventure was a day excursion to share a burger lunch in Petaluma. The couple was excited about their upcoming 40th wedding

REALTOR IS UNFLAGGING FRIEND TO FELINES Clients who do business with Katie Mack seldom learn the Carmichael

real estate agent has a nocturnal sideline. Mack, 68, rescues some of the most vulnerable animals in our community—feral and abandoned cats. “Few people know how many lives are lost due to feline overpopulation in Sacramento,” she says. Mack has long waged a one-woman campaign to provide friendless cats the help they need. Not only does she have four semiferals enjoying the good life in her

home, she visits, feeds and watches over a colony of 15 homeless felines. Using free spay and neuter programs, she makes certain these animals will not multiply. In the past 15 years, she has also found homes for more than 100 kitties. “It’s not like I go looking for lost cats,” she explains. “They have a way of finding me.” Mack’s latest rescue was a tame Russian blue she called Mister Blue. “I used every method of advertising to find his owners,” she says. “He’d been so well taken care of, I couldn’t imagine how he ended up in the streets. He was laid-back, friendly, comfortable on any lap and clearly used to affection. He showed up at my doctor’s office and decided to hang out. We took him to a vet and established a clean bill of health. I brought him home but he couldn’t stay with me; he needed a forever family.” Through a rescue agency called Fluff Buddies, a Napa family heard about the handsome stray. “The husband and wife and two of their kids came to Carmichael to meet him,” says Mack. “They’d had a Russian blue for 13 years before he died.

jumped on the young daughter’s lap. He seemed to know these were his people. I heard he slept with his new mom and dad on his first night with them. His adoption came just in time; I was getting too fond of that sweet guy. A happy ending makes rescue work worthwhile.” “I’ve had cats all my life,” says the determined rescuer. “I’d love to see every cat loved and cared for. But I’m a busy professional with as many pets as I can handle. People should not expect me to take on their stray animal problems. But I am a resource; I can always suggest ways to find help.” Advice on feral cat problems and animal birth control are offered by the Sacramento SPCA, Sacramento County Bradshaw Animal Shelter, the nonprofit Animal Spay and Neuter clinic and the Sacramento Area Animal Coalition.

PEACHES ON PARADE AT ANNUAL FESTIVAL Peach pies, peach cakes, peach ice cream and pickled peaches: If it looks, tastes and smells like the fuzzy fruit, it will be procurable at Carmichael Park’s Peach Festival on Aug. 5. The annual celebration, hosted by the Carmichael Park Farmers Market, attracts thousands of fruit lovers. The market opens at 9 a.m. and vendors quickly sell out of peachy products. The festival also includes a dessert contest. Among 2017 entries were traditional cobblers, a boozy tiramisu, zesty crostata, peachy mousse and cupcakes. “Sampling eight desserts in a row is a tough service,” sighs a volunteer judge. “But someone had to do it.” Contest rules specify peaches must be the main recipe ingredient. Other than that, anything goes and creativity is among the judging criteria. Entries must be presented by noon on festival day. There also will be a peach-eating contest for all ages. “It’s our most popular contest,” says farmers market co-founder Marie Hall. “Entrants try to down 13 ounces of peaches and

eith Walter is admittedly “terrible at retirement.” The 62-year-old has tried to retire several times over the past several years and each time he’s found himself diving back into the work world at the behest of friends who need his skills as a telecommunications expert. “I love to problem solve,” says Walter, who started out as a physicist before getting involved in engineering and technology, where he specializes in “transformation projects” (when telecommunications companies periodically upgrade their technology, a consultant like Walter helps smooth the transition). “The bigger the problem, the better for me.” But Walter has discovered that his favorite problem solving to date has come from his work as a small business mentor with SCORE, a nonprofit association dedicated to educating entrepreneurs and helping small businesses start, grow and succeed nationwide. Walter first got involved with the Sacramento chapter of SCORE—which he now chairs—six years ago when he and his wife moved to Fair Oaks after By Jessica Laskey one of his many attempts at retirement since age Giving Back: Volunteer Proﬁle 50. He joined SCORE, Rotary and half a dozen

other local service organizations in an effort to keep himself rooted instead of jetting off to the next exciting project (recent work has taken him to Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore). “The idea was if I got involved in enough activities, I wouldn’t have time to un-retire,” Walter says. “Though, it certainly hasn’t changed my desire to run off to exotic locales.” But it did introduce Walter to an organization that has allowed him to share his extensive knowledge base with others trying to follow in his footsteps. Approximately 40 volunteer SCORE counselors with a wide range of business backgrounds work with applicants to discuss everything from business plans to escape plans. “About 2,000 people contact us each year asking for help,” Walter says. “The vast majority will never go on to start a business. Half of our work is walking them through what it takes to start a business so they don’t lose their life savings or put their families or future at risk. Often, their dream is a good dream but they don’t have the resources to start it right now, so we redirect them to explore other options within their profession, work with local job centers to find a new job or work on their finances.” This screening process not only helps avert potential disaster but also lets SCORE focus its efforts on those who are ready to start a business and provide them with connections to the Small Business Administration, city, county and state governments, chambers of commerce and financial institutions to help them begin or improve their operations. SCORE also holds workshops four times a month about the fundamentals of getting started and matches applicants with local mentors who can provide a specific skillset. “I’ve long believed that small business is the backbone of our economy and success as a country,” Walter says. “Someone might have a passion but not have the background or skills to turn that passion into a profitable business. SCORE has done great work over the last 50 years bringing those passionate people together with those who are interested in giving back.” “My favorite part is when I’m able to find someone who listens and takes my advice and that advice turns out well for them,” he continues. “SCORE gives me a reason to get up in the morning and find another problem to solve. That’s the beauty of the nature of volunteering—you never know where it’s going to go.” To learn more about SCORE, visit sacramento.score.org. n

eo, a spunky feline with soft swirls of auburn-red hair, is calling to his mom, Kitty O’Neal, from his outside sanctuary. “Are you ready to come in?” O’Neal queries her very vocal 12-year-old boy. Leo is perched on the top tier of his three-story cat condo in the backyard of O’Neal’s Curtis Park home, which she shares with husband, Kurt Spataro. Attached to the cage is a long tunnel made of netting that allows Leo to venture into the garden. “Leo loves to be outside,” says O’Neal, afternoon news anchor for NewsRadio KFBK. “But I do not let my cats roam. So I said to Kurt, we have to let him out and endure the consequences, which I was not prepared to do, or find a way to let him out and confine him. Now he has a total setup in the backyard where he can’t get out and nobody can get in.” O’Neal and Spataro, executive chef and partner for Paragary’s Restaurant Group, have opened their hearts to many cats throughout the years. In addition to Leo, the couple currently provides a home to two 7-year-old felines: Juneau, a friendly kitty with Alaska-white fur, and Blue, an Abyssinian with sleek grayish/blue hair and a golden-brown chest. The couple’s fourth cat, Cinnabon, a senior they had for only two years, recently died. The feline’s previous owner had to go into a care facility, so O’Neal agreed to take in the kitty. “He was an older cat and had some issues. But I totally fell in love with him. He was just precious. He walked like an old man,” she remembers with a smile. “But he had the sweetest disposition ever … and he had one of those big motor purrs, which was so endearing. He was as good as gold.”

AN AFFINITY FOR CATS

RUNS IN THE FAMILY

Growing up, O’Neal remembers telling her mother that she wanted to be surrounded by cats, which is fitting for someone named Kitty, a nickname she has had most of her life. (She also has an Aunt Kitty.) “We were never allowed to have more than one, and I always wanted a lot. When I was really little, I just knew it. There is just something about cats.”

O’Neal’s father was base commander at Mather Air Force Base, where the family lived for several years while O’Neal attended and graduated from Folsom High School. She later earned a degree in communication from Sac State. “In their older years, my parents were wonderful about taking in cats.” For her mother, O’Neal’s father adopted

a champagne-colored cat named Dolly from the SPCA. “I remember he said, ‘That cat did not look like she belonged in that cage.’ Dolly was my mom’s constant companion.” While doing a radio remote in Roseville, O’Neal found what would become her parents’ next cat. “There was a kitten stuck in a drain, so I called the Roseville fire department. They put the hose in and washed that cat out of the sewer drain. So there

“IT IS A VERY SPECIAL, UNIQUE BOND THAT ISN’T REALLY REPLICATED IN ANY OTHER WAY.”

The state’s former first lady, Maria Shriver, recommended O’Neal to the board of the California Museum. She also assists Sacramento Children’s Home in numerous ways and serves on the board of The Salvation Army. “They are so kindhearted. They do much more than people know. And they are really quiet and humble about it, and that’s why I love them.”

MAKING MUSIC O’Neal, a singer/songwriter, and Spataro, a guitarist, met in their 20s while performing in cover rock bands. After putting their musical calling on hold to follow their current career paths, they are now creating music again as part of an alternative-rock band called Skyler’s Pool. One of their 10 original songs, called “Mr. Blue,” was inspired by their cat. “It is not about Blue at all, but he was the inspiration because he is kind of doglike, always so happy.

PET-HUMAN BOND O’Neal’s love for animals is big. “It runs so deep,” she says. “Sometimes I step back and I think I have this creature living in the house with me … several of them,” she adds with a laugh. “And I am feeding it, and we have a relationship, and it understands me and I understand it … and yet it is a totally different species. We take pets for granted, but when we really consider what’s happening in that human-pet relationship, it’s pretty extraordinary. “Beyond that, I love the affection from an animal. I love taking care of them. It is a very special, unique bond that isn’t really replicated in any other way.”

ery few of their neighbors know what Randy Stannard and Sarah McCamman are growing in the backyard of their house on 64th Street. Behind the unassuming and slightly worn Tallac Village neighborhood home, on a 1-acre piece of land stretching all the way back to 65th Street, Stannard and McCamman have transformed a once-neglected yard into a burgeoning

urban farm known as Root 64. Stannard and McCamman met while apprenticing at Soil Born Farms, and they had been searching throughout the greater Sacramento area for a small parcel of land with a move-in-ready house when they found the location in Tallac Village. Escrow closed in August 2017, and the partners immediately started getting the large patch of dried grass behind

the house farm-ready, with the goal of harvesting their first crops in time for the Oak Park Farmers Market in May. “The garlic was the first thing that went in the ground last fall,” says Stannard, who also serves as executive director of Oak Park Sol, a nonprofit that works to create urban farms and community gardens. “We had to put in the irrigation system,

how to cook and eat well,” she says. “I found a good community surrounding the farm scene.” Two years of long, hard days at Soil Born gave McCamman the confidence to start her own operation, Heavy Dirt Farm in Davis. She worked there for six years, building up a following at the Oak Park Farmers Market. “More and more people would come to the farmers market to buy from me,” she says. That made the transition to selling under the Root 64 banner almost seamless. “It’s the same products, and we have the same stall and I have the same tablecloth. It’s just a different sign.” Stannard believes that the social capital of the contacts he and McCamman made while apprenticing at Soil Born Farms is just as important as the hands-on farm experience. “Many of those apprentices are farming in the region, so we have a good farmer-to-farmer network of friends,” he says. “If we’re looking for resources, we can put out a call to borrow whatever we might

and we got that up and running just in time for when we needed water.” There are now roughly 60 distinct types of herbs and vegetables in the ground at Root 64, several dozen fledgling fruit trees donated by Soil Born Farms and the Sacramento Kings Foundation, and a newly built straw-bale walk-in cooler that will dramatically decrease energy costs. In addition to selling at the Oak Park Farmers Market, Root 64 also partners with a handful of nearby restaurants and caterers to provide the ultimate in farm-to-fork freshness. “There are some really awesome chefs in Sacramento,” says McCamman. Rebecca Campbell, the co-owner of Sac City Brews Neighborhood Tap House in Tahoe Park, met Stannard when she worked on the board of Oak Park Sol, and she became one of the few chefs to receive Root 64’s initial delivery of produce. “It’s a pretty impressive thing. They have a superdiverse crop plan,” says Campbell, who creates a small menu of seasonal

salads almost entirely from the vegetables at Root 64. In addition to Sac City Brews, Root 64 also supplies organic, hyperlocal herbs and vegetables to nearby businesses OneSpeed Pizza, Magpie Cafe and Rossi Catering & Deli. “We’re trying to do stuff as close to us as we can,” says Stannard. “It’s a mixture of existing relationships and also proximity to the farm.” Stannard and McCamman walk the field on Monday, then send out an availability list to their partner chefs before hand-delivering special orders and standing orders every Wednesday morning. “The chefs definitely are very supportive,” says Stannard. “It takes a commitment on their end to want to work with small farmers because it takes a little extra work.” For her part, McCamman is hardly afraid of a little extra work. She didn’t know anything about farming when she first joined Soil Born Farms 10 years ago, but she was driving the tractor within her first month. “In college, I had become interested in food-justice issues, and I also learned

need, and somebody in our network probably has it.” When we spoke in late June, Stannard and McCamman were anticipating late-summer and earlyautumn crops of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and squash. “Usually about mid-July we start seeding stuff in the greenhouse again for fall,” says Stannard. They had yet to decide if they wanted to plant a winter crop at Root 64, as the area tends to flood during the rainy season, but they eventually want to open a neighborhood farm stand. “We’re not quite at the point where we’re prepared to invite people into our space,” says Stannard. “That’s down the road.” For more information about Root 64, visit the farm’s Facebook page or Instagram @ root64sacramento.

Nematode Nemesis PREVENTION HELPS CURTAIL UNDERGROUND ENEMIES

ave your tomatoes or other vegetables started wilting in the middle of the day, even though the soil is moist? Are their leaves yellowing or undersized? Have the plants stopped growing and producing? The problem may be underground. When you remove a puny plant, gently rinse off the soil and examine its roots. If they are thickened, with pearly white nodules growing on them, your soil is probably infested with root-knot nematodes. That’s bad news because it’s virtually impossible to get rid of this lurking menace. You can find ways to grow a good crop, but it will take some strategy and effort. Nematodes, invisible to the naked eye, are microscopic roundworms that live in the soil. Some are beneficial, consuming pesky pests. A few, notably root-knot nematodes, are our gardens’ enemies. They are most prevalent in sandy, moist soil where there is

food for them to eat. Unfortunately, they feed on the roots of most kinds of vegetables and many other plants, including weeds, ornamentals, and fruit and nut trees. In warm climates like Sacramento’s, their eggs survive winter and hatch when the soil warms. Juveniles feed on plant roots, which respond by enlarging their cells. Females lay eggs in a mass that extends through the root surface and into the surrounding soil. Nematodeinfested roots can’t take up water and nutrients, so plants decline or even die. As with every problem, prevention is best. Nematodes are introduced by infested soil or plants. Avoid moving plants and soil from infested areas, and be aware that if somebody gives you a plant from their garden, it may bring invisible enemies along. Plants from commercial sources are probably safe, but it’s wise to examine new plants for telltale nodules before putting them into the ground. If some of your garden has nematodes, but not all, clean your tools so you don’t spread them and make sure that irrigation water doesn’t run off. No chemicals are available to home gardeners that kill nematodes. Soil solarization will temporarily reduce their population about a foot below the surface. (Soil solarization

is a nonchemical method to control soilborne pests by capturing radiant energy from the sun to heat the soil.) This will give you a year or two to garden in the space before the population builds again. It’s not too late to solarize this year, but time is running short since you need six weeks of intense sun. Instructions are available from the UC Master Gardeners (see note below). You can buy nematode-resistant varieties of some vegetables. There are many tomatoes that not only resist nematodes, but also diseases such as verticillium and fusarium wilt. Look for the letters “VFN” on their labels. If you have nematodes, plant favorite tomato hybrids such as Sungold, Celebrity, Ace, Better Boy and Early Girl. Unfortunately, heirloom tomatoes are not resistant. Nematode populations will reduce if there is nothing for them to eat. Planting resistant varieties will help. Keeping the soil bare (a process called fallowing) for a year will reduce the population enough to grow a good crop the following season. When fallowing, keep the soil moist to induce egg hatch. Don’t allow weeds and other plants to grow in the area where you are trying to starve them out. Some plants suppress nematodes. One variety of French marigold, Tangerine, has been found to be effective against all kinds of rootknot nematodes. You can order seeds online if you can’t find them in local stores. Harvest their flowers to prevent the seeds from spreading. Turn the marigolds under the soil to maximize their effect and increase the organic matter in the soil. Other cover

crops and organic soil amendments will help deter nematodes and build healthy soil. Planting veggies early or late in the season, when the soil is cooler, is best. This increases the chance that healthy roots will establish before nematodes are active. Feed and water your plants well. Pull out potentially infested plants as soon as you harvest to reduce the amount of roots that they can feed on. Don’t compost infested plants—some sites recommend burning them, but bagging and disposing should suffice. I have fought nematodes in my home garden for more than a decade, ever since I purchased a sandy soilcompost mix to fill raised planting beds. Apparently, nematode eggs came along for the ride. Using all of these techniques, I’ve managed to grow enough homegrown tomatoes for the addicts in my family. I watch the plants closely, examine their roots with bated breath at the end of each season, and renew the battle whenever needed. You can negate the nematode nemesis, too.

Murals 2.0

WIDE OPEN WALLS RETURNS FOR A SECOND YEAR

f you are one of the few Sacramento folks still unaware of Wide Open Walls, known as WOW—our local mural festival—you might be walking around our central city with your blinders on. In its inaugural year in 2017, more than 50 local, national and international artists literally painted the town—in every color of the spectrum—over a 10-day span last August. The festival is now returning for its second year running from Aug. 9—19. Sacramento’s first mural event—the Sacramento Mural Festival—was held in 2016.

JV By Jordan Venema Building Our Future

IA AUG n 18

Although most people may have seen and heard of WOW, many are unaware of the curator who partnered with WOW founder David Sobon to create the largest public arts project in the history of the West Coast. Warren Brand, CEO and founder of Los Angeles-based Branded Arts, has curated more than 350 public arts murals and projects in more than 50 cities worldwide. “I’m an art collector first and foremost,” says Brand. “My mom was a painter, and it’s kind of a natural progression to begin curating art and working with artists.” Now Brand says his passion is “to help bring artists to greater heights.” Brand and Sobon met shortly after the Sacramento Mural Festival in 2016, when Brand gave Sobon a tour of the Los Angeles site of the Robert F. Kennedy Mural Festival, which Brand had curated earlier that year. “That was 30 public art projects in a three-block radius at the largest

public school on the West Coast,” says Brand. Ultimately, Sobon partnered with Brand to create Wide Open Walls, a festival similar to the Robert F. Kenney mural event but larger in scope. “The thing about Sacramento is that it’s more spread out in terms of locations than almost any other festival in the world, in terms of the amount of miles between the walls,” explains Brand. “Most of the time festivals are very geographically concentrated.” And while WOW invites artists from all over the world to paint murals throughout the greater Sacramento area, the festival also dedicates about half its walls to local artists. The goal of the festival, says Brand, is “to cultivate the talent that’s already in Sacramento,” while showcasing talent from around the world.

WOW is building on last year’s momentum by continuing to curate renowned local and international artists, although it will also scale back its scope by concentrating on fewer neighborhoods. More than 40 artists will paint murals around the Grid’s Downtown and Midtown neighborhoods, while also focusing around Del Paso Boulevard and Oak Park. According to Sobon, this year’s WOW is partnering with Sacramento Promise Zone, a partnership of more than 150 private, nonprofit and public-sector organizations that serve 22 square miles of underserved neighborhoods in Sacramento. Sacramento Promise Zone’s vision is to ensure that all residents enjoy good health, improved educational opportunities, living wage jobs, economic opportunity and sustainable communities. And since its designation as a Promise Zone in 2015 by the U.S.

440 Gaylord Court $900,000 4 Bed | 2 Bath | 1 Half Bath 2,544 sqft Visit 440gaylordcourt.golyon.com for a video tour. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Sacramento Promise Zone has brought more than $100 million of investments into those neighborhoods. Of the participating artists in this year’s Wide Open Walls, the biggest name, and perhaps the most recognizable street artist, is Los Angeles-based Shepard Fairey, known best for his Obama Hope poster and OBEY brand. Fairey will paint the west-facing front of the Marriott at 1121 15th St., which already boasts a mural painted last year by New York-based artists and identical twin brothers How and Nosm. Other notable artists participating in this year’s WOW include Shamsia Hassani, Afghanistan’s first female street artist, and Portugal’s Bordalo II, who often incorporates sculptural elements into his murals. And while artists will come from Spain, Brazil,

Italy and Mexico, about half of the artists will be from Sacramento, including John Horton, Raphael Delgado and Lin Fei Fei. Locations of murals and artists will be available on the WOW website. WOW also plans to launch an app for navigation. An official “meet and greet” with the artists will be hosted at every mural site on Aug. 10 between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Wide Open Walls will also include three block parties on Aug. 10. at 1414 Del Paso Blvd., Aug. 11. at the Elks Tower at 12th and J streets, and Aug. 18 at 1625 Del Paso Blvd. These parties will be free to the public and will include food trucks, live music and live painting, with more events to be announced on wideopenwalls.org.

Luxury Lifestyle REACHING THE PINNACLE OF SOPHISTICATION AT NEW SAWYER HOTEL

hen the announcement came about the opportunity for residency on top of the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, across from Golden 1 Center, it didn’t take Tom Kandris long to get in on the action and put his name on the list. He was one of the first. The Sawyer was part of the development of Downtown Commons and the arena project. A muchneeded 16-floor Kimpton Hotel was being developed by a partnership of the Sacramento Kings and JMA

Ventures. The top floors would consist of 45 luxurious condominiums with amenities that would rival any big city downtown development in the country. That was a pretty ambitious plan for sleepy Sacramento, and many community and business leaders still didn’t know if the arena project and surrounding development would be successful. Those with some vision, like Kandris, didn’t question the opportunity or possibility for a second. “I got wind of the project over three years ago,” said Kandris, a local business entrepreneur and Kings supporter and season-ticketholder. “I actively networked to be a part of this early. I knew this was going to be really cool and I didn’t even know the price points.” What he did know, as well as others who have purchased residences, was

that he was going to enjoy a lifestyle that had never before been available in the Downtown area. “With the arena and development, things were happening, and I want to be part of the Kings' vision to revitalize Downtown and showcase a cultural shift for Sacramento,” Kandris explained. Of the 45 condominiums that went up for sale at the Residences at the Sawyer, 40 have been sold and construction is moving rapidly. Some residents have already moved in. Kandris and his wife, Theresa, expect to move in soon. Kandris will be on the top floor with views from his balcony that gaze down on the bustle of the arena below, across the river to West Sacramento, and over the top of Sacramento, the Capitol and more.

“The underlying theme for the buyers is the excitement and renovation of Downtown,” added Chris Miller, director of sales for the Residences at the Sawyer and vice president of development for The Agency, an international thirdparty residential development and real estate company. “We have different types of people of varying demographics coming to live here.” As Miller describes the mix, there are empty-nesters from around the region who maintain a primary residence in the foothills and suburbs of Sacramento, but want a second residence in the heart of Downtown where they can enjoy restaurants, bars, sports and entertainment without a drive. He also said they have young professionals who will make the Sawyer their permanent residence to adopt the high and cool

downtown lifestyle, often foregoing the “car culture” entirely. The one constant for all who buy a residence at the Sawyer is a lifestyle that is unique to Downtown Sacramento. Amid the bright lights and bustle of the central city is a level of service to all who live at the Sawyer. Private valets greet residents as they drive in, and attentive staff address them by name. They help with groceries, luggage and anything else. Once inside the Sawyer, they have options for fine dining at Echo & Rig, sports and games at Punch Bowl Social, and poolside cocktails and food at the Revival. If that’s not enough, residents have access to the 24-hour concierge service, housekeeping, security, resident lounge and a private entrance to the Golden 1 Center via a tunnel from the parking garage. “I just have to say this will be a great urban experience for friends, family and business associates,” said Kandris, who is active in community and civic affairs in addition to his support of new startup businesses, board roles and building a small private equity concern. “Success comes from strengthening a sense of community. That’s why I bought here and that’s the type of businesses I consider for investment or other support.” Both Kandris and Miller agree that this isn’t the end of cultural changes in Downtown. There’s more to come. Vanir, a construction-management firm, is considering a development in close proximity that might include another hotel. “We see the vision of people like Vivek Ranadive, Mark Friedman, Sotiris Kolokotronis, Kevin Nagle and others on this side of the river and in West Sacramento working to build destinations,” Miller said. “They are driving great projects and they are writing a new history of the Downtown core.” The sum of all of these new projects and developments will reshape Sacramento on many levels—not only the physical but also the lingering perceptions that Sacramento is simply a “cow town.” Work by Mike Testa at Visit Sacramento, leadership in government and investment

by business are bearing fruit. Sacramento’s image and reputation are changing nationally and internationally, from its focus on food and drink to a new level of recreation and sophistication for those that

want a “Manhattan lifestyle” here in California’s capital. Growth at this pace does cause socio-economic problems which have to be addressed, but those solutions are easier as blight turns to bright, emptiness fills with active

environments, and Sacramento no longer has to scratch out a reputation as the best-kept secret in the country. Scot Crocker can be reached at scot@crockercrocker.com. n

Pants Down DROPPING ANY PRETENSES IN THE GYM

ave you ever noticed a resemblance between the church hypocrite and gym hypocrite? It’s said that the church hypocrite is a “seasonal saint” who comes to church only on Christmas and Easter. They come to be seen in their finest new clothes. Much like the church hypocrite, the gym hypocrite thinks only about fitness after the big eating holidays. They work out in their designer fitness clothes only to look good for the swimsuit season. During a 1999 deployment to Saudi Arabia, I lived the life of a gym hypocrite. I only worked out to stave

off the effects of my daily gorge of mess-hall food. One cool day in January, instead of dressing in shorts, I walked to the gym in a new matching two-piece workout suit. It was Super Bowl Sunday, and only a few people were in the gym. The machines were wide open, so I flew from one to the other, working on my “Body by Jake.” Within a few minutes, I peeled off my workout jacket. Still hot, I plopped myself in front of a huge factory fan. For some reason, the fan could not muster enough bluster to cool this gym customer, so I put my thumb in the waistband of my running pants and slid them down to my knees. There, sitting on that bench, I was suddenly much cooler than I had expected. The hairs on my thighs were vibrating like palm leaves in a hurricane. Looking down, I recalled that I had opted out of wearing gym shorts underneath my running pants. There, in full-length mirrors, I saw much more of my body than was reasonable to expect in a public place.

Needless to say, I couldn't have pulled those pants up any faster than if I were sitting atop a fire ant hill. So what did I learn? First, if you are going to pull your pants down in a public place, make sure there is a distraction in the room—preferably a football game or breaking news on the TV that will steer all eyes away from your geeky, farmer-tanned legs. Second, mom was smart to advise you to always wear good underwear. What if you have to go to the hospital, or you decide to pull your pants down in a public place? Last, and most important, there will always be hypocrites in both the church and the gym. I suppose that’s why I spend so much time in both and include myself as among the best of them. But I think that’s OK, because I see hypocrites as people who understand the tension of their discrepancy. They realize they are not who they should be, so they keep trying to be what

they ought to be. In short, they don’t give up on themselves. Hypocrites want badly to be someone better than they have been. So they choose to live with criticisms from those who will inevitably catch them with their pants down. They live with the frustration of being one thing while striving to become another. They hope someday to morph into the honest likeness of the person they are currently pretending to be. If my gym experience taught me anything, it’s to forgive and overlook the faults of others lest I risk becoming the biggest hypocrite of all. That’s why, when someone complains of too many hypocrites in the gym or the church, I never miss the opportunity to tell the person that we have room for one more: you. Perhaps I will see you at the gym next week? If so, I promise you won’t see too much of me. Norris Burkes can be reached at norris@thechaplain.net. n

East Meets West

lthough a budding rock star artist in her native China, Lin Fei Fei didn’t know a soul in Sacramento when she and her Detroit-born boyfriend moved here in August 2015. Lin completed her MFA at the prestigious Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang, a city with a population of more than 8 million, and participated in art shows across Asia and Europe. She also was named one of the 10 “Contemporary Chinese Artists of the Future” by the Wang Shi Kuo Art Foundation in Beijing. A swift case of culture shock came in the form of the sleepy Sacramento suburbs. “I come from a big city, and the first time I got to Roseville, everything was so quiet, and everything was so slow,” she says. “I was depressed for a while, because

I had just graduated, and I was full of energy. I wanted to do things, I wanted to travel and explore, but I felt like I was lost in an ocean.” Language initially was a barrier, but Lin’s outgoing nature, insane talent and innate curiosity in other people and cultures won out. It wasn’t long before she began making allies in the Sacramento art scene, while still maintaining her contacts in China. “Slowly, I tried to build relationships and connect with people on Facebook, go to different galleries and introduce myself,” she says. “I worked to help introduce several Sacramento artists to China, offering them opportunities to show and sell their art in China.” A connection with local artist Gabriel Sanford inspired Lin to bring Sanford’s work back to Shenyang, where Lin helped create the East Meets West International Art Exhibition at the Jolie Gallery in 2016. Sanford and Lin were the only two Sacramento-based artists to show at the exhibition, but that was only the beginning. “The next year I tried to go to different art shows, meet people,

3001 P St. Sacramento, CA

and try to get to know more people, and show them the artistic talent in Sacramento,” she says. Lin participated in the high-profile, large-form art installation Art Street in early 2017, which allowed her to connect with some of the most exciting, and often unheralded, figures in the Sacramento art world. Emboldened by these new connections and bolstered by corporate support, the second annual East Meets West show featured the work of a whopping 18 Sacramento artists. Painter Andy Cunningham was the only featured artist besides Lin to travel to China with the show, which kicked off with an event that drew more than 300 people. “The show was received very well, a lot of people came to the opening,” he says. “People would come to the gallery and we’d have a sit-down discussion, a tradition there, but not so frequent in the U.S.” Lin sold a piece of art before the show even opened in July 2017, and she credits a high level of Chinese interest in East Meets West because of the country’s booming art scene.

“The economy is growing so fast, and people have actual money, and they want to buy art,” she says. “They’re curious about art, and they’re curious about what other people do from other sides of the world.” For Lin Fei Fei’s part, curiosity about art and other cultures started at a very early age. She has been drawing every day since she was 6 years old, and she was exposed to the art and literature of other cultures through her father, who she describes as “a very romantic guy.” Along her artistic path, she acquired influence from professors and gained inspiration from European artists, including Francis Bacon, and female artists, such as Georgia O’Keefe. Although she uses a variety of materials in her work, Lin specializes in intense oil paintings that blend the visceral with the sensual. “My work technically is the realistic style mixed with an abstract technique, and my theme is always around humanity and sexuality,” she says. “Different races and colors and cultures and backgrounds are shown, suggesting

we all have the same weakness or desire.” After a rocky start in Roseville, Lin has since moved to Midtown, where the urban energy is a little more her speed, and where she can bike to her studio on 21st Street. “People are nice, and the art scene is growing, but not crazy,” she says. “San Francisco or New York or Los Angeles is like a more mature person. I feel Sacramento is still a teenager, it’s growing.” There are plans for more East Meets West-style exchange shows in the future, but for now Lin is focused on creating more art, showing in other cities and appreciating the diversity of her adopted hometown. “First time I came here, I feel this is a wonderful place because people are from different places and speak different languages,” she says. “This is the kind of place I’ve always been looking for.” Lin Fei Fei is participating in the 2018 Wide Open Walls mural festival Aug. 9-19.

Parkway Visionary Frank Cirill by the American River. Photo courtesy of The Sacramento Bee.

t’s easy to take the American River Parkway for granted, but it wasn’t easy to create. River Park resident Frank Cirill fought many battles to establish and protect the parkway. At its inception, there were fights to buy land and acquire easements. Along the way, there were conflicts over denial of public access to the Fair Oaks Bluffs, Cal Expo’s attempt to build a large parking lot near the river, and East Bay Municipal Utility District’s scheme to take American River water. Cirill as board member, president and president emeritus

WS By Walt SeLfert Getting There

IA AUG n 18

of the Save the American River Association was there for each of those fights and many more. Cirill died in early 2017 at age 94 after living in River Park for 52 years. Cirill never wanted to hide the parkway away like a jewel in a safedeposit box. He wanted to share it and see it shine. His vision was bigger than creating and protecting a worldclass parkway, a worthy dream in its own right. His larger vision was knitting together disconnected parkway trails and having people actively use them. Cirill loved the natural beauty of the parkway and thoroughly enjoyed its recreational opportunities. He used the parkway often and intensively to fish, kayak, run and bike. He was a triathlete, helping organize and participating in Eppie’s Great Race. “He ran on the parkway 20 miles a week until he was 86, and then he continued walking,” said his

daughter, Lisa Cirill. “He exercised until the day he died.” In my conversation with Lisa, she said her dad “worked for over 50 years to get critical connections needed” in the parkway and was a resolute advocate for better access. He wanted his neighbors and the larger community to experience the parkway’s tranquility and unique landscape. Lisa was a top administrator at the California Department of Public Health. She knows the importance of physical activity. She also knows that exercising in nature produces a unique boost to mental health. Lisa grew up in River Park. She lives there today in a house next to her parents’ home. She told me a story about a controversy over adding tennis courts at Glenn Hall Park when she was girl. There was opposition based on worries that the courts would bring in outsiders. The

courts were built and there haven’t been any problems. Lisa understands the current concerns of some River Park residents about building the Two Rivers Trail, a paved trail along the levee bottom on the river side, a place where there’s now a beaten dirt path. A levee top project probably would have been ideal for river views and to avoid trail flooding and damage, but planners conceded to residents’ worries about loss of privacy. Still “Save Don’t Pave” signs in River Park reflect other concerns, including harm to the natural environment and fears about crime and impacts from the homeless. For Lisa, the benefits from improving the public’s access to the parkway—a parkway that is nationally significant—are overwhelmingly positive. She pointed out that access to the parkway often is a selling point in River Park real estate listings and lifts home values.

sleepdesign.com Like her father, Lisa is a proponent of the Two Rivers Trail, and having the parkway accessible to everyone, of all ages and abilities. She said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish he were still alive to see it happen, but he knew it would because it was in city and county plans.â&#x20AC;? And not just in local bike plans. Cirill was one of the 24 citizen advisory committee members who updated the American River Parkway Master Plan in 2008. Frank and the other community members spent years crafting a master plan that was then approved by the city, county and state. A fundamental plan goal is â&#x20AC;&#x153;to ensure preservation of the naturalistic environment while providing â&#x20AC;Ś human enjoyment of the Parkway.â&#x20AC;? I bike in the parkway at least twice a week, and my wife and I walk along the river as well. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very glad that 40 years ago we chose to live nearby. I still marvel at the parkwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beauty and its wildlife. I thrill at seeing a deer, a great blue heron or even a rattlesnake. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine Sacramento without the parkway. We

all owe a debt to Frank Cirill for his vision and dedication. Over the years, the city and other agencies have improved my neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; access to the parkway. The levee top between H Street and the Guy West Bridge was paved. Sac State made the connection to the Guy West Bridge safer and friendlier. The city built a trail undercrossing at the west end of the H Street Bridge. The city added bike lanes to J Street (between 56th Street and the campus entrance) and on H Street (between Carlson and 56th). Most recently, a bike lane was added to H Street between Camellia Avenue and Carlson. I look forward to more improvements that will serve our neighborhoods for generations to come. They will all contribute to Frank Cirillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy. Walt Seifert is executive director of Sacramento Trailnet, an organization devoted to promoting greenways with paved trails.

Wheeler PLUS 10 FAMILY RULES TO GUIDE YOUR LIFE

ridge Magnet Mom strikes again! I came up with another good one to add to my growing list of quotables worthy of a refrigerator magnet. Apparently, I do this so often my daughter coined the nickname for me. And I don’t even realize I’m doing it until my daughter calls me out. “If cake mix goes on sale you buy it,” I told Whitney excitedly snatching up four boxes of cake mix with no birthdays in sight. “You always gotta be ready to bust out a cake or cupcakes,” I told her in earnest like it was considered ancient wisdom. “Okay, Fridge Magnet Mom,” she laughed, rolling her eyes.

KW By Kelli Wheeler Momservations

IA AUG n 18

After a good giggle we realized I should be writing down all of these quirky bits of family wisdom doled out over the years—especially with my oldest son, Logan, going off to college this month. It would be fun to send him off with a playful list of life lessons to help him navigate his way as he takes off into adulthood. My kids already have Mom’s Top 10 Rules that I came up with nearly a decade ago that I think has guided them pretty well. In fact, like Robert Fulghum’s popular “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten,” my top 10 rules can actually be applied by adults to daily life as well. Like your own family sayings and words of the wise, there are some you say so often they become family mottos. Others are lost after the moment has passed. But then one day when you realize you always light a match after going to bathroom, you remember Dad once told you, “Always leave it smelling better than when you went in.”

So here’s a sampling of Wheeler wisdom followed by Mom’s Top 10 Rules, first published on my Momservations blog in 2009. Feel free to put them on your own refrigerator courtesy of Fridge Magnet Mom. Nothing good ever happens after midnight. In this family we do extra credit. Stay away from U-Haul trucks on the freeway. Any maniac can drive them. Never quit in sight of the finish line. Always leave it better than when you got it. Pet every dog and cat you see. Make good choices. If one is good, two are better. Always buy the good toilet paper. Trust that the cream always rises to the top. Be the cream. Deodorant can buy you another 12 hours. If you eat all the ingredients of a chocolate chip cookie separately, it’s

disgusting. But eat it all together and it’s delicious. Always sniff it first. There is no good reason not to stop for a Slurpee on a 100-degree day. Lying by omission is still lying. Always stop at lemonade stands. Remember everyone is a work in progress. If cake mix goes on sale you buy it.

MOM’S TOP TEN RULES 1. Respect yourself and others. This pretty much covers all other rules. But just to be clear…. 2. Own it. Quit throwing other people under the bus and take responsibility for your choices. 3. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. “Seemed like a good idea at the time” should be reserved for tombstones. 4. Lying only throws fuel on the fire. Mess with the fire and you’re going to get burned.

5. Change is inevitable. So quit your complaining and learn to adapt. 6. Don’t be a hater. Ugly attitudes don’t look good on anyone. Let it go. Don’t waste energy on carrying a grudge. 7. Remember the Mom Test. If you wouldn’t say it, do it or suggest it with Mom standing next to you— think twice. 8. Do no harm. Keep all hands, feet, arms, legs, hurtful words, and other violations of space and privacy to yourself. 9. Do something. Don’t just sit there—be helpful, thoughtful, considerate, generous, a friend, anything! Everyone’s got something to give. 10. Enjoy the journey. It’s not the destination that counts, but how you get there. So you might as well hang on and enjoy the ride. Kelli Wheeler is an author, family columnist and freelance writer.

Functional Arthouse LOCAL ARTIST TURNS EAST SAC BUNGALOW INTO CREATIVE LIVING

hen Marc and Ingrid Foster purchased their 1922 East Sacramento bungalow in 2008, “the walls were crumbling, the floors were sloping and everything needed to be updated,” says Ingrid, cringing. But

the recently married couple looked beyond that. “We immediately saw the potential and charm it had.” Delving into such an extensive project would have been daunting for most people, but the Fosters had two important things on their side. Both come from families adept at swinging a hammer. Marc grew up in Texas, where his family owned and restored an 1892 Queen Anne Victorian. With this experience under their belts, Marc’s two brothers flew out from Texas to help with the East Sac remodel. Ingrid’s parents also have a background in construction, building

homes in Lake Tahoe, where Marc and Ingrid lived briefly before moving to Sacramento. Second, and more importantly, Marc is a renowned artist and craftsman, specializing in largeformat, three-dimensional visual and functional art. “Wood, tons of stainless steel, new purchased materials, artifacts, found objects, concrete,” lists Marc, checking off his preferred mediums. The recipient of the 2018 Visual Artist of the Year Award by the Arts & Business Council of the Sacramento Region, Marc has an impressive

portfolio. “La Feuille,” an 18-foothigh honed stainless-steel sculpture of tree leaves emerging from the ground, can be found at the entrance to East Sacramento’s McKinley Village. Other recent projects include work at Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters and Wildwood Kitchen & Bar; “gritty” bench seating at The Bank, a soonto-open food and beverage hall on J Street; and a steel sculpture created from a salvaged boiler (rescued from the old Crystal Ice plant) for the Ice Blocks at 17th and R streets. Marc also has donated pieces to the annual Crocker Art Auction.

IA n INSIDEPUBLICATIONS.COM

With Marc’s artistic vision and renovation experience, the couple went to work to give new life to their 1,447-square-foot home with two bedrooms, one bath and a sunroom (which has taken on various roles over the years—from office to nursery to playroom—as their family has expanded). In addition, there is a bonus room with a half bath and a fully functional apartment in the back. The remodel included eliminating doors, tearing down walls and ripping up linoleum to expose original wood floors. “There were five doors that led into the kitchen and breakfast nook,” laments Marc. The original venting flue, which had been concealed within a wall, was uncovered to expose the old red brick. Marc’s two brothers helped build new cabinets in the kitchen, which now features a walk-in pantry, granite countertops and a tumbled-marble backsplash. A new front door came from a friend’s flat in San Francisco. In addition to the structural elements, Marc’s “functional artwork” is seen throughout the home: a modern metal coat rack; a cabinet of white oak and galvanized-steel tiles; wood-and-steel bar stools bolted to the floor; iron sconces flanking the fireplace; an industrial bunk-style bed suspended halfway up the wall; a bed and dresser of hot-rolled steel and padauk, an exotic wood from Africa; a privacy wall made of mahogany scraps; a kitchen table created from 1920s railcar floorboards with benches that double as storage.

DELVING INTO SUCH AN EXTENSIVE PROJECT WOULD HAVE BEEN DAUNTING FOR MOST PEOPLE, BUT THE FOSTERS HAD TWO IMPORTANT THINGS ON THEIR SIDE.

calls it “creative living in small spaces. You have to get inventive.” For their five-year wedding anniversary, Marc carved a figure of a woman with child from the wood of a landmark camphor tree in Midtown that had to be removed in 2012 due to disease. He also constructed a trilevel playhouse around a mature tree in the backyard for the couple’s two children. With the addition of their son and daughter, as well as a lovable golden retriever, the Fosters have already set their sights on another fixer-upper, also in East Sac, with a larger floor plan and bigger backyard. “We will be doing this all over again with little ones. Back then, we were footloose and fancy free,” says Ingrid, who has an MBA in strategic management and marketing and oversees the business side of her husband’s work. “Whatever it takes so Marc can do the creative stuff.” Are they looking forward to another major renovation? “Aspects,” admits Marc. “I’m a lot busier now than I was before. I might not be doing all of the work myself.” “Just the custom cool stuff,” adds Ingrid. Cathryn Rakich can be reached at crakich@ surewest.net. n

*The initial Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is currently 4.50% for a new Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), and is ďŹ xed for the ďŹ rst 5 years of the loan which is called the draw period. After the initial 5 year period, the APR can change once based on the value of an Index and Margin. The Index is the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of 10 years and the margin is 3.50%. The current APR for the repayment period is 6.375%. The maximum APR that can apply any time during your HELOC is 10%. A qualifying transaction consists of the following conditions: (1) the initial APR assumes a maximum HELOC of $150,000, and a total maximum Loan-to-Value (LTV) of 70% including the new HELOC and any existing 1st Deed of Trust loan on your residence; (2) your residence securing the HELOC must be a single-family home that you occupy as your primary residence; (3) if the 1st Deed of Trust loan is with a lender other than El Dorado Savings Bank, that loan may not exceed $200,000 and may not be a revolving line of credit. Additional property restrictions and requirements apply. All loans are subject to a current appraisal. Property insurance is required and ďŹ&#x201A;ood insurance may be required. Rates, APR, terms and conditions are subject to change without notice. Other conditions apply. A $475 early closure fee will be assessed if the line of credit is closed within three years from the date of opening. An annual fee of $50 will be assessed on the ďŹ rst anniversary of the HELOC and annually thereafter during the draw period. Ask for a copy of our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fixed Rate Home Equity Line of Credit Disclosure Noticeâ&#x20AC;? for additional important information. Other HELOC loans are available under different terms.

Retail Therapy BASEBALL FANS HAVE A PLACE TO SHOP AT RALEY FIELD

stocked with teenagers goofing around. It’s a lovely, youthful environment. But the teens are immersed in themselves, not cultural legends and baseball technicalities. Yet there they were: Joe and Marilyn and a scorebook, relics from another generation, when baseball players wore flannels and fans showed up in suits, hats and dresses. For the record, DiMaggio had a Sacramento connection. The Clipper often attended State Fair horse races. The store has more surprises, all by design. The manager, Rose Holland, has been moving merchandise at Raley Field for 10 years. She and her merchandise team go beyond the essential retail duties of stocking what sells. They help create logos and designs, and they format the shop based on weather and holidays. “There’s a point each year when sweatshirts and blankets are replaced by T-shirts,” Holland says. “But we’re given a fairly free hand on what we display.” The shop is impressively diverse for a business that’s hyperfocused on a single brand. Actually, there are four brands that intrigue customers in various nooks around the store: Store manager Rose Holland (left) with assistant manager Erin Kilby River Cats, San Francisco Giants, at the River Cats' retail store On Deck.

855 57th Street (Between J & H Streets) With the A’s, it took me a year to sell a dozen hats.” Not surprisingly, River Cats merchandise is also popular. The shop has home-team clothing for children, men and women and hats in multiple colors, logos and designs. There are hats that show Tower Bridge, hats that say “River Cats Baseball 2000,” hats that say simply “SAC.” The Solons and Dorados are more narrowly focused. The Solons are represented by several nice retroinspired T-shirts but no hats. The Dorados, whose uniform the River Cats wear on special Tuesday-night promotions, have jerseys for sale and attractive blue hats with a logo depicting a Mexican wrestling mask. “We could have more Solons merchandise, because retro is very popular,” Holland says. “We haven’t done a great job explaining the Dorados promotion, but the merchandise looks good, is fun and sells pretty well.” The shop has mastered the art of playing to its strengths. During games, scoreboard and stadium signs encourage fans to drop in. During

summer afternoons when games aren’t in progress, team owner Susan Savage decided to give fans a 10 percent On Deck store discount when they visit the Raley Field box office to buy tickets. “We’re lucky in that we have a captive audience and loyal customers,” Holland says. “We also do a lot of internet sales and sales to Little League teams around the country. There’s a River Cats Little League team in Hawaii.” I wanted the River Cats 2000 hat and a scorebook. The Marilyn and Joe book felt more like a winter read. R.E.

DOING WHAT COMES NATURALLY JANICE KELLEY SHARES HER LOVE OF THE OUTDOORS WITH LOCAL FAMILIES

JL By Jessica Laskey Meet Your Neighbor

anice Kelley is one of those rare people who can point to an actual epiphany that led her to her current career as a naturalist, storyteller and founder of Nature Detectives, a program that brings hands-on, object-based field studies to local schools. “I was driving to Point Reyes with the windows down,” recalls Kelley, who originally hails from LA County

IA JUL n 18

but moved to Sacramento in 1995 just before the birth of her son. “I could hear the water and see the green mountains and I thought, ‘I want to do something to help people realize that this is a miracle.’” Kelley has always loved the outdoors, thanks in part to a weekly routine from childhood when her parents would take the family out for a ride every Sunday to explore

museums, parks and beaches and go camping. But prior to her Point Reyes epiphany, Kelley didn’t realize that she could actually have a career in the great outdoors. “I always thought you had to grow up and work in an office,” admits Kelley, who put in time behind a desk in organization communications, community outreach, training, research, writing and editing for

more than 20 years before a chance encounter with a book of Joseph Cornell poems changed her trajectory for good. She picked up the Cornell book as part of a display at a Maidu interpretive center, flipped to the back to find out more, and then a lightbulb went off. “In the back of the book, there was a listing for the National Association for Interpretation,” Kelley recalls.

“I didn’t know what ‘interpretation’ meant as a job, so I went to the site and signed up for a regional conference. While I was there, I realized that these are my people. This is who I am.” NAI is a nonprofit professional organization dedicated to advancing the profession of heritage interpretation. It serves approximately 5,000 members in the United States, Canada and more than 30 other nations who work at parks, museums, nature centers, zoos, botanical gardens, aquariums, historical and cultural sites, commercial tour companies and theme parks. Once Kelley realized that she could merge her love of nature with her love of community outreach, she was hooked. In 2006, she enrolled in Sacramento State’s master of science degree program in the Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism Administration with the goal of

building family programs based on environmental education and conservation. She won a scholarship to the NAI national convention that same year and immersed herself in the interpretation field by leading tours at local sites like the Nimbus Fish Hatchery and Sutter’s Fort, and using her writing skills on wayside panels, feature stories, videos, fact sheets and blogs. In 2008, Kelley joined the staff of the Sacramento Tree Foundation, where she served as the program coordinator for the LEAF Steward Program, which won the award for Best Urban Forestry Education Program from the California Urban Forests Council in 2009 under her leadership. But upon graduating from Sac State with her master’s in 2013, Kelley realized that she missed sharing her love of nature in a more direct way. To remedy that, she started the blog “Mornings at Fair Oaks

Bridge,” which shares nearly daily observations of the sights and sounds of one of her favorite places. And in January of this year, Kelley founded Nature Detectives, a series of field-based weekly programs and activities for students K-6 to develop meaningful relationships with the natural world. “Kids are in such a structured environment at school that they never get a chance to free-play outside,” says Kelley, who uses hands-on activities like measuring leaves, hunting for animal tracks and recording scientific observations to both engage imaginations and meet Common Core requirements. “Kids should be able to get outside and explore and have the freedom to learn, to be active and investigate.” Leonardo da Vinci K-8 School in Hollywood Park, Genevieve Didion K-8 in the Greenhaven/Pocket area and Harry Dewey Fundamental Elementary School in Fair Oaks

piloted Kelley’s program this past schoolyear and the result was a resounding success. She plans to expand to more sites next year, as well as beef up the Nature Detectives website with printable lessons, online quizzes and a blog. “I would love to be a resource for parents,” says Kelley, who has collected enough nature books, naturalist objects and stuffed animals over the past few decades to run her own interpretive center. “My ultimate goal is to offer family programs where parents can engage in nature with their kids and learn from their enthusiasm.” And maybe they’ll experience some epiphanies of their own.

“I’ve tried to play the long game,” Marsh says on a break from an instudio day at his house in South Land Park. “I didn’t pursue my master’s degree or residencies. I didn’t fasttrack myself into a big artist network. I went for the conservative approach so I could develop my studio practice and navigate a professional career, a studio career and a family all at the same time.”

An early fascination with comic books caused Marsh, a Lodi native, to fall in love with drawing. He earned a bachelor’s degree in pictorial art from San Jose State University in 2007. While in San Jose, he organized and curated 12 & Taylor, an artist cooperative housed in a converted basement that hosted pop-up art exhibitions. Since moving to Sacramento in 2010, he’s handled installations for Crocker Art

Museum, the Anderson Collection at Stanford University and UC Davis’ Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, where he’s now the exhibition and program “preparator”—someone trained to handle and install objects in a museum. “It was a chain reaction,” Marsh says of his gigs over the past several years. When he was 20, he got a job working “front of house” at the

San Jose Museum of Art. That led to a part-time job on the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installation team. Later, the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art hired him to do installation as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With that experience, I ended up getting hired to handle the installation of the new Crocker wing, which took a year and a half,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was pretty wild.â&#x20AC;? Marsh makes the most of every opportunity. When he joined Sacramentoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Axis Gallery, an artist-led gallery space inside Verge Center for the Arts, the gallery was â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairly quiet,â&#x20AC;? he says, full of older members exploring art in their retirement. Marsh stood out as well-versed in creating his own exhibition opportunities and highly experienced in the art of museumquality installation. Axis Gallery relies on its members not only to keep up the studios but also to show regularly and recruit new members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very much a DIY approach,â&#x20AC;? Marsh says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To build critical mass, you have to network with other artists.â&#x20AC;? Marshâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artwork is a combination of photorealistic and abstract imagery

captured in oils and arresting photos of dilapidated buildings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thread for a lot of my work is the concept of some sort of loss or failure,â&#x20AC;? Marsh says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It probably comes from losing my father when I was very young. In high school, we would flip through copies of National Geographic to find photos we liked. I came across this image of a collapsed bridge in Burma. It really stuck with me that this fallen structureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the cascading of formsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; could be chaotic but also beautiful. Ruined structures can express a broken home, things that can no longer hold their own weight. The jumping-off point for me was the idea of looking at failure from a literal, physical perspective, so I started going to abandoned sites like the Del Monte cannery on C Street to take photos.â&#x20AC;?

ESTELLE BAKERY RETURNS WITH FRENCH TREATS GALORE

here are pastries and there are pastries. The first category includes bear claws and Danishes wrapped in cellophane

and laid out in an office break room, slightly sad and sweaty, sitting on a table next to a note about leaving a dollar and reminding the reader of the honor system or some fundraising enterprise. At the other end of the spectrum are sugary, glistening dollops of brightly hued perfection, golden-hued sweet breads and fragile creations ready to dissolve with just the softest bite. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to say that Estelle Bakery & Patisserie traffics in the latter. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want you to think that all Estelle puts out are sugary delicacies, but they are the thing you first notice when you walk in the door of the Arden Way shop. The colors, the textures, the sheer decadence that is the pastry case at Estelle are simply astounding. Having been raised Catholic, I feel a certain guilt just being in the same room with such indulgence.

IA JUL n 18

To think of eating these treats almost makes my head explode. But for you, dear reader, I entered the belly of the beast and took on the challenge of supping full on the sinful delight of French pastry. And let me tell you, it was pretty darned swell. Let’s start with things other than sweet treats because I don’t want them to get short shrift. First, the basics: You might remember Estelle holding down a prominent corner on 9th and K streets for many years. After leaving that location, the Estelle team set their sights on a commodious space on Arden Way near Fulton Avenue. This new outpost is large, serene and has a pastry case that seems as long as a bowling alley. Just a few months ago, a second, smaller Estelle opened in Downtown Commons near Golden 1 Center. This petite locale is perfect for folks working Downtown or living in close proximity to the arena. If you’re stopping in for breakfast, the options are numerous and tempting. Croissants—plain, almond, chocolate ham and cheese are

prepared in the classic French fashion. Their buttery, flaky goodness is so thoroughly apparent, you almost don’t have to eat them to know they’re good. Eat them anyway. A breakfast sandwich featuring ham, cheese, egg and aioli is a wonderfully indulgent way to start the morning. At most places in California, you’ll find a slice of tomato or avocado or a handful of arugula on your breakfast sandwich. Not at Estelle. You get a proper French breakfast sandwich, on brioche, without even the suggestion of fruit or vegetable. Muffins abound. Scones prosper. And, like I said, croissants overflow. However, while you’re still staring at the pastry case, may I suggest a slice of quiche for a lovely brunch or lunch? Served with a delicate side salad, ham or veggie quiche not only fills you up but does it with a certain Gallic homeyness that is hard to replicate. At Estelle, the insanely flaky crust might actually outshine the dense, flavorful egg filling. Let’s move on to pastries. The first thing you might notice is the

macarons. Let’s be clear: These are not macaroons, the fluffy balls of coconut, egg and sugar that are one of my favorite concoctions. Nor are we to confuse these treats with Macron, the surname of the current president of France. These are macarons, small sandwich confections that combine light-as-air meringue cookies and indulgently sweet fillings, usually in rainbow-defying colors not found in nature. These little sandwichy treats gained popularity in the United States a little more than a decade ago. Now, macarons are sold in nearly every city in the country. Estelle happens to make them quite well. Lemon, raspberry, lime, vanilla and other macaron flavors fill the case. Oversized versions stuffed with fresh raspberries and cream delight the senses.

Then there are the glistening raspberry domes, prettier than the topper of your favorite cathedral. Architecturally and visually stunning, these tiny almond cakes with raspberry mousse raise decadence to a new standard. There are cookies, cheese Danishes, turnovers and sweet breads of innumerable quantity. There are candies and more. And then there’s the croixnut—a doughnut made from croissant dough. It is one of my favorite things I’ve eaten this year. Estelle Bakery & Patisserie is at 2530 Arden Way; (916) 551-1500; estellebakery.com. The Downtown location is on David J. Stern Walk near 7th and K streets. Greg Sabin can be reached at gregsabin@hotmail.com. n

Distilling A Legacy One Bottle at a Time

Sacramento’s own J.J. Pﬁster uses only organically grown potatoes from Noonan Farms in the Klamath Basin to distill environmentally sustainable vodka. Our practices call for creating wetlands that attract migrating birds that feed soils organically. We also donate a percentage of proﬁts to help protect wildlife. It’s a win-win for waterfowl and vodka lovers alike.

Tastings: Fridays 3 – 6 pm Sat Noon – 6 pm & by appointment Contact Gail Keck for details or event reservations (503) 939-9535 9819 Business Park Dr. Sacramento, CA 95827 www.jjpﬁster.com
