Signing all 4,000 prints was a significant undertaking for the artist.

12 Days of Help and Hope ART PRINT SALES RAISE $151,520 FOR PARADISE FIRE VICTIMS

he “Twelve Days of Christmas” song is still fresh in my mind in early January. As every child knows, the festive tune tells the story of a series of gifts given to a loved one that grow in quantity each day. Local artist and gallery owner Tim Collom, who’s also an accomplished Realtor, experienced a similar joy when he set out to offer some signed giclee

art prints to help raise funds for the Paradise fire victims. “Like everyone, I was just blown away at the devastation of this community. And I had no connection to that area at all. But the whole darn town had burned to the ground,” Collom says. In 2017, Collom created a large, colorful painting of the entire state of California. Previously, he specialized in landscapes common to the state’s major regions, including Tahoe, the Wine Country, the Capitol, beaches and the like. “Someone suggested I combine them into one painting,” Collom says. After selling hundreds of paintings over the years, he loved the California piece enough to keep it for himself. “The only one,” he adds.

But the image became iconic to Collom. He sold prints of all sizes, and generously donated prints to charity fundraisers. “This was the first image that came to mind when I thought I could raise funds. I chose it because it is the entire state that was so saddened by the two regional fires,” Collom says. Tim’s original goal was to raise $4,000 in print sales. He worked with local HFA Print Gallery to determine the cost of 100 prints, plus packing and shipping. The prints were sold for $40, plus tax. They promised delivery by Christmas. He and his gallery launched the fundraiser Nov. 12, using Collom’s extensive social media audience for his art business. And boy, did he underestimate the demand!

The first day brought $35,000 in orders after it went viral on social media. “We were blown away, yet very anxious that we could manage the demand,” Collom says. “We were worried that our website would crash, but thankfully it didn’t.” As sales grew every day, he began to worry about how the money would best directly benefit the victims. Gratefully, one of his Facebook fans introduced him to her husband, Brian Rice, president of California Professional Firefighters. Collom met with Rice and decided to donate the funds to the organization’s foundation after realizing that firefighters are literally the boots on the ground and know a community’s needs firsthand. “What I loved was that they issue $250 debit cards to each victim

Onehundred percent went to victims.” Bay Area media coverage helped broaden the appeal. A social media post by U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris brought a fresh audience that kept the sales coming in. By Nov. 24, the campaign ended after reaching $150,000. “Everyone involved was exhausted, and this included me, my gallery staff and the printer. And we had reached the timeframe where Christmas delivery was not possible,” Collom says. But another twist came when they started planning for Collom to sign all 4,000 prints as promised. The signing—which was still not complete when I interviewed Collom in early

December—took an enormous amount of his time, mostly at night. And this was despite a system to organize the process, including having a page-turner at his side. “I’m certainly not complaining, because this is my contribution, and a completely insignificant one after what the firefighters went through. Keep in mind that 55 of them lost their own homes.” Collom reports print sales came from around the world, but more than 75 percent came from California residents. It was a glorious day when Collom handed the California Professional Firefighters Foundation a check for $151,520 on Nov. 28. Brian Rice received the money at a local fire station. Collom brought the large

original painting along for folks to see. Sort of by accident, the firefighters started signing the back. “I was delighted when I saw them doing that,” he says. “I was totally blown away by the generosity and kindness of folks. I’m so proud to be a part of this wonderful community. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for the support,” Collom adds. The experience was the highlight of Collom’s life so far. “No question!” he adds for emphasis. In fact, the United States is the most generous country on the planet, by far. Americans are moved to give large and small for those in need every day of the year.

But the genius of this beautiful small print is that it takes a cash donation one step further. By hanging the work in your home or office, you are reminded every day that you were part of a generous community that takes care of people in need. And hopefully, it will lead to a lifelong habit of helping others with your time and treasure. For more information on Collom and to purchase prints, visit timcollomgallery.com.

Neighborhood Coyotes

COMMON-SENSE ACTIONS CAN MAKE THEM GO AWAY

S

uburban coyotes. Some people revere them. Some people fear them. Almost everyone wants them out of their neighborhoods. However, more and more coyote sightings and encounters between coyotes and domestic pets in the Arden-Arcade and surrounding areas are being reported, either on social media, at neighborhood meetings or to government agencies. “It’s been an ongoing problem of coyotes in our yard since we moved back to the neighborhood in June,” says Michele Cable, who lives in Sierra Oaks Vista. Cable’s cat was attacked last year in the early morning by a coyote in the creek that runs along the west side of her property. The cat survived due to fast action by Cable, who screamed at the intruder and chased it away. While there are no statistics for local neighborhoods, countywide numbers verify the increase. In 2017, the U.S.

IA JAN n 19

Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services received 31 calls for technical assistance (from providing educational information over the phone to going on location to assess a situation) for Sacramento County. In 2018, by the end of November, that number had jumped to 55 calls. “I see coyotes regularly,” says Christina Riley, who also lives in Sierra Oaks Vista. “They are out at all times.” Sightings also have been reported in Arden Park, Wilhaggin and other nearby neighborhoods. Why the increase? “People have a perspective that coyotes are out in the wild, but actually they are a highly adaptable species—they can survive and thrive in almost any habitat in California,” says Kyle Orr, public information officer for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Coyotes are perfectly comfortable taking up residence in suburban areas because of the food sources.” “The density of prey, such as cats, small dogs and rodents, are more readily available in urban centers as opposed to natural environments and pasture lands,” says Mark Ono, wildlife biologist and assistant state director for USDA Wildlife Services. “Other than humans, there are no natural predators of coyotes in this area.”

Coyotes, which belong to the dog family, average between 20 and 30 pounds and appear similar to a tancolored Shepherd with a pointed muzzle, large ears, long legs and bushy tail. They are found throughout most of California, where breeding occurs mainly from January to March. More human-coyote interactions occur “when young, inexperienced ‘teenagers’ start to venture off on their own and seek new territory,” Ono says. “There is also a period when females become aggressive to other canids and humans during the spring when they have young pups in the den.” This behavior is usually a defense of space or protection of pups, not random attacks. The coyote diet consists mainly of mice, rats, squirrels, gophers and rabbits. “Coyotes have a lot of benefits from an ecological standpoint,” Orr says. “For example, they keep rodent populations under control.” However, coyotes are intelligent predators and will shift their diet based on food availability, often indulging on insects, fruit on the ground, garbage and domestic pets. “If a coyote comes across a small dog or cat, they can and will kill it,” Orr says. What about humans? While “attacks on humans are extremely rare,” according to Orr, the Department of

Fish and Wildlife recommends that young children always be supervised by an adult when outside. “We want people to be safe in their neighborhoods, but we also need them to use their best judgment and be aware of their surroundings,” Ono says. Coyotes are most active at night and during early morning hours, but have been sighted strolling down area streets and thoroughfares in the middle of the day. “They will actually forage during daylight hours as well, depending on the prey availability and behavior,” Ono says. “They change their behavior based on their location. These animals are highly adaptable, which is why they are so successful when it comes to urban living.” Coyotes use trails, roads, creeks, flood-control channels and drain pipes to travel. “They are very common in our area. Possibly because we have large wooded lots to hide within and a system of creeks they use to travel,” says Riley, the Sierra Oaks Vista resident. To obtain water, they drink from street gutters, leaking sprinkler heads and outdoor faucets, birdbaths, pet dishes and swimming pools. What should residents do to deter coyotes? Trapping and relocating coyotes is “akin to you being


transported to Chicago with no food, no money and only the clothes on your back,” reports the City of Sacramento Animal Care Services. Relocated coyotes must compete with other animals that have established territories. And coyotes will quickly replace each other if one is removed. “All you’re going to do is move the problem to another neighborhood,” Orr says. Government agencies and wildlife enthusiasts universally agree—to eradicate or reduce coyotes in the suburban/urban environment, residents must do two things: eliminate all food sources (see “What You Can Do”) and scare them away. “Coyotes are very, very clever. They adapt and they learn,” Orr says. “People can take common-sense precautions.” Coyotes generally avoid humans. “However, the presence of a free buffet in the form of pet food, compost or trash can lure coyotes into yards and create the impression that these places are bountiful feeding areas,” reports the Humane Society of the United States. “Without the lure of food or other attractants, their visits will be brief and rare.” And there are people who intentionally feed coyotes. Less than a quarter mile from Cable’s home in

Sierra Oaks Vista is a vacant, boardedup house where someone leaves large pans of dog kibble for coyotes. “It is illegal to feed coyotes and it always harms the animal,” Orr says. “They are perfectly capable of finding food on their own. When people feed coyotes, they become habituated and associate people with food. And they lose their fear of humans, which leads to more negative encounters with humans.” Hazing (using a variety of nonlethal scare techniques) is one way to condition coyotes to avoid humans. When coyotes become habituated, hazing can re-instill the natural fear of humans. “If residents walk their small dogs on leash around the neighborhoods, they need to be aware of their surroundings—just as they would any other time,” Ono says. “In the event they see a coyote, they should shout, clap their hands, throw rocks, etc. The point is to make a lot of noise and scare the coyote off.” “The coyote I saw when I was on foot with my two Labradors observed us and only moved when I clapped and shouted,” Riley says. Other hazing and deterrent methods include flashing lights, banging pans

What You Can Do

The Unique Gift Shop

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife recommends the following to help eliminate or reduce coyotes in urban/suburban neighborhoods: • Practice non-lethal hazing techniques (shouting, waving arms, throwing rocks). • Supervise young children when outside. • Keep cats indoors.* • Supervise dogs outside, especially at dawn and dusk. • Never walk dogs off leash. • Do not leave fruit on the ground. • Keep compost in containers. • Keep garbage containers securely closed. • Do not leave pet food or water bowls outside. • Do not use birdfeeders, which attract rodents. • Eliminate thick groundcovers, which attract rodents. • Trim ground-level shrubbery to reduce hiding places. • Install motion-sensitive lights around the house. • Install secure fencing.** * For those who maintain feral cat colonies or for cats that cannot be kept indoors: • Install posts that are at least 7-feet tall, made of material that cats can climb and have enough space at the top for sitting. • Feed cats once a day at a set time. Pick up leftovers immediately. • Elevate feeding stations beyond coyotes’ reach. ** Coyote-proof fences should be at least 6-feet tall with a protective device on top such as a “coyote roller” (coyoteroller.com) or chicken wire to prevent coyotes from getting a foothold to go over the top. To prevent coyotes from digging under, the fence should extend at least 12 inches into the ground.

together, and scattering mothballs or ammonia-soaked rags around the yard. “It’s important to remember that seeing a coyote doesn’t mean that an attack is imminent or that your pet, child or yourself is in danger,” Ono explains. “We really want people to understand that we share habitat with coyotes,” Orr says. “There are steps they can take to ensure their safety and the safety of their family.”

ROAD FUNDING

Retention of the SB 1 gas tax in November’s election will allow Sacramento County to continue to improve roadways.

S

acramento County experienced growth and major investment over the past year as the economy improved. The Office of Building Permits and Inspections issued more than 15,610 residential permits and 3,183 commercial building permits last year. That is a significant increase from the recession in 2010 when residential permits were at a low of 8,271 and only 2,146 permits were issued for commercial buildings. There also were some major investment announcements. US Foods proposed a $71-million, 355,000-squarefoot distribution facility and a 23,000-square-foot meat-processing facility at McClellan Park in North Highlands. According to the Greater Sacramento Economic Council, the project will drive up to $59 million in economic impact and follows the successful investment made by Amazon in 2017 of its 855,000-square-foot fulfillment center near Sacramento International Airport.

Investment

Rises

The retention of the SB 1 gas tax by voters in the last election will allow Sacramento County to continue to invest in improving the roads and streets in the unincorporated area. The gas tax has already provided Sacramento County approximately $7.3 million in partial-year funding with another $21 million expected this fiscal year. The county is expected to receive an average of more than $24 million per year over the next 10 years. To track county road projects funded by the SB 1 gas tax, visit sacdot.com, under “Projects & Programs.” More projects will be added as funds from the gas tax become available. The gas tax funds will go a long way to halt the deterioration of the unincorporated area’s roadway system. The Department of Transportation estimates the current pavementmaintenance backlog is $700 million. The gas tax also is funding curb, gutter and sidewalk repairs, traffic signal upgrades, street light installation and bridge replacements. The passage of Proposition 69 last June securely earmarks the gas tax funding for transportation projects by ensuring the money will not be diverted to non-transportation projects.

$86 MILLION TARGETED ON ARDEN WAY Closer to home, major economic investment is occurring along the Arden Way corridor. A combined private development investment of $86 million is being spent by the How Bout Arden shopping center, Mercedes Benz of Sacramento, Estelle patisserie, Arden Square shopping center, St. Ignatius School’s remodel, California Family Fitness and Arden Creek Town Center. According to the county’s Department of Finance, more than 6,500 new and renewed business licenses have been issued. Among the unique new businesses coming to our area is Rebounderz, the largest trampoline park and family fun center locally. The center will open at Country Club Plaza and include dodgeball, a ninja warrior course, rock-climbing

HEROES OF HUMAN SERVICES The Board of Supervisors recently recognized several Heroes of Human Services as part of the county’s Human Services Coordinating Council awards honoring residents and organizations that have touched the lives of others through advocacy, dedication, service and support. Honorees include Fair Oaks resident Geri Beck, who helps others through organizations like Family Promise, Women’s Empowerment and Carmichael Homeless Assistance Resource Team, to name a few. Also recognized is the Assistance League of Sacramento. Through its 281 members and 100 community volunteers, the league donated 65,532 hours of service last year, helping 21,212 people in our area. Since the chapter’s inception in 1968, the assistance league has touched the lives of more than 405,446 individuals. Other honorees include employees from the Department of Human Assistance, which founded DHA-CARES in 2015. DHA-CARES partners with local agencies so staff can volunteer their time, as a team or with family and friends, to help those in need. In 2017,

GRAND JURY SERVICE The Sacramento County Superior Court is now accepting applications for grand jury service for 2019-20. Grand jury service is often referred to as being a "citizen watchdog" of local government with the role of monitoring and reviewing government actions. To be eligible, you must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old, a resident of Sacramento County and not currently serving in any elected office. For more information, call (916) 874-7559 or visit sacgrandjury.org. The application deadline is Jan. 26.

HOMELESS COUNT Volunteer registration for the 2019 Homeless Point-In-Time Count is now open. This biennial count is a countywide special census required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and provides a snapshot of who is experiencing homelessness on any given night.

Volunteers are needed for the count, which will be conducted during the evenings of Jan. 30 and 31. Sacramento Steps Forward, a nonprofit organization committed to ending homelessness, is partnering with Sacramento State’s Division of Social Work and the Institute for Social Research in this effort. Participants will be trained and grouped in teams to canvass the community in organized deployments. No prior experience is required, but volunteers must be 18 years or older, have a strong interest in helping people who are experiencing homelessness, and attend the required training to learn to safely conduct accurate counts. For more information, email volunteer@ sacstepsforward.org.

2018 COUNTY AWARDS The Sacramento International Airport was recognized with a 2018 Sustainability Award for its new solar power facility dedicated to the production of renewable clean energy for the next 25 years. The airport is already generating 38 percent of its power from solar. The Center for Digital Government awarded Sacramento County with a fifth-place ranking among United States counties for outstanding performance and innovation in deploying technology practices. Sacramento County also was named the No. 1 Government Green Fleet in North America by 100 Best Fleets. This award is open to all federal, state and local government fleets in the continent.

NEIGHBORHOOD VISITS I gave remarks at the annual Wall of Honor ceremony, sponsored by the Carmichael Recreation and Park District at Patriots Park in November. This monument is a special place to reflect on the sacrifice of 14 honorees who served in the U.S. Armed Services, law enforcement and fire protection. Last year, the name of Sheriff Deputy Robert French, who lost his life in the line of duty in a shootout in ArdenArcade, was added to the wall. That shootout also resulted in injuries to two CHP officers. I also provided an update to the Carmichael Creek Neighborhood Association regarding the last phase of streetscape improvements on Fair Oaks Boulevard from Landis to Marconi avenues, which is slated to begin in June.

Rake leaves to keep storm drains clear and prevent flooding. Report flooding by calling (916) 875-7246. Do not try to cross a flooded street. Secure yard items that may blow around in strong winds. Stay away from downed power lines and call 911 immediately. Have flashlights handy in the event of power loss. Sign up for county emergency alerts at sacramento-alert.org to receive alerts regarding emergency events, such as severe weather, unexpected road closures, missing persons and evacuations of buildings or neighborhoods.

Residents can report fallen tree limbs and other road hazards by calling 311. Later I visited Fair Oaks for my final 2018 Community Coffee Meeting, featuring code enforcement chief Barry Chamberlain. He described how Sacramento County works with residents to address issues like accumulation of junk and rubbish, compliance with zoning codes, businesses operating in residential areas, illegal dumping, abandoned vehicles and more. In 2019, I will hold community meetings in Arden-Arcade and Carmichael with guest speakers throughout the year, as well as Community Coffee Meetings in Fair Oaks. Everyone is welcome. Dates and times will be posted on my webpage at bos.saccounty.net.

PREPARE FOR WINTER Winter is here so be prepared. Following are a few tips to stay safe. Check on senior family members, friends or neighbors who might be vulnerable during a cold spell. Elderly people and those with serious medical conditions are especially at risk. Ensure pets have a warm draft-free place indoors with a dry bed or blanket

to lie on. Except for exercise and walks, all dogs and cats are safer indoors during the winter when temperatures start to dip near freezing. Do not heat the interior of homes with a BBQ, propane heater or other fuel-fired equipment. Carbon monoxide is a “silent killer,” so only use heaters designed for indoors. Make sure that natural gas furnaces and other appliances are clean and in good working order. Insulate outdoor pipes to prevent freezing. Seal pipes with caulk that lead into and out of the home. Leave bathroom and under-sink cabinets open to help warm pipes. If pipes freeze, leave the tap on and call a plumber. Defrost pipes using a hair dryer on a low setting, slowly working from the faucet to where the pipe enters the wall. Call 311 or (916) 875-7246 to have water turned off so lines can be repaired. Watch for fallen or at-risk tree limbs. As temperatures dip, branches become vulnerable to snapping. To report trees or limbs in roads or right-of-ways, call 311 or (916) 875-4311. Trees or branches on private roads or property are the responsibility of the property owner.

SHERIFF’S ELECTRONIC EYE Help improve the odds of catching perpetrators by participating in the Sheriff's Electronic Eye Camera Registry Program. Under SEE, citizens and business owners register their video-surveillance systems with the Sheriff's Department. When a crime occurs, the Sheriff's Department will identify the videosurveillance systems and enlist the assistance of citizens to help collect video evidence. Using the geographic locations of the registered cameras, the Sheriff’s Department will email citizens in the area in which a crime occurred. The email will ask citizens to check their video-surveillance systems for a specific date and time in hopes of capturing a suspect, getaway car, crime, etc. Citizens who find any possible video evidence can contact the sheriff's SEE program to make arrangements for video retrieval. Citizens and business owners who register with SEE receive a window sticker to show they are participating in the program. For more information, email see@sacsheriff.com.

MLK CELEBRATION The annual Sacramento Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration dinner will be held Saturday, Jan. 26, at Sacramento State University Ballroom. This year’s keynote speaker will be Kenneth B. Morris Jr, founder and president of Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives, and a descendent of two prominent African-American leaders: Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington. Vivek Ranadivé, owner and chairman of the Sacramento Kings,

will be honored with the 2019 Robert T. Matsui Community Service Award. Ranadivé is an entrepreneur, technology visionary, New York Times best-selling author and philanthropist recognized for his innovative thinking. The dinner brings together civic and community leaders, elected officials, judicial and legal community members, college and high school students, nonprofit supporters, business people and educators to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For more information, visit mlkcelebrationsacramento.org.

MEDICAL RESERVE CORPS The Sacramento Medical Reserve Corps is a volunteer organization that engages medical professionals and support volunteers who want to donate their time and expertise to prepare for and respond to emergencies. The Medical Reserve Corps trains, deploys and retains volunteers who support Emergency Management Systems already in place. Volunteers assist during disasters; provide first aid at large public events, including the California International Marathon; staff shelters for people displaced by flood, extreme weather or fire, such as the Camp Fire in Butte County; help at flu clinics; and promote emergency preparedness. For more information, visit sacmrcfoundation.org.

BEFORE YOU BURN In effect now through February, wood burning is restricted in the unincorporated area, as well as in the cities of Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, Isleton, Rancho Cordova and Sacramento, in accordance with air-quality regulations. The restrictions are applicable to fireplaces, wood stoves, fire pits and chimneys. Implementation of these restrictions has helped reduce pollution and allowed our area to stay in compliance with federal air-quality standards. Before burning, check the daily status by calling (877) 662-8765 or visiting airquality.org. Susan Peters represents the Third District on the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors.

allots have been counted. Real estate broker Kelli Foley, who founded the Trillium agency in Carmichael, has been re-elected honorary mayor for 2019. “This town means more to me than a place to hang my hat,” she says. “I’m passionate about everything Carmichael has to offer—its people, its parks, its unique sense of place.” The Carmichael Chamber of Commerce has fostered that unique sense of place for seven decades. The title of mayor is rewarded to

candidates whose campaigns raise the most funds for the organization. The winner then spends a year cutting ribbons and participating in parades. To celebrate its 70th anniversary, the chamber remembered Foley’s mayoral predecessors. Former chamber executive director Jan Bass Otto recalled some ingenious campaign gimmicks. In 1998, realtor Kevin Brennan put a 100-square-foot playhouse on a trailer and parked it in shopping centers. “He called it a starter home,” Otto says. “He sold thousands of raffle tickets and won the race.” On a 1980 overseas trip, businessman Ross Davidson sported his sash and was treated like royalty in several small European nations. In 2002, senior home executive Margie Smith fundraised with candy sales. Her victory over a popular cop

and a millionaire businessman was sweet. “I stuck Margie-for-Mayor labels on thousands of M&M packets,” she says. “In the July 4 parade, Boy Scouts walked by my car, handing them out. I loved the community involvement and I still love M&Ms.” 2004 Mayor Donna Deterding was invited to a mayoral convention while in office. “I found myself among elected mayors from cities all over the region,” she explains. “Someone called out, ‘Carmichael’s not a city— how can it have a mayor?’ I had to explain I got the title by raising funds for our chamber. Everyone laughed, but they were all nice to me.” Senior care specialist Cheryl Hinton grew from blushing violet to sunflower during her 2005 term. “When I campaigned, I was afraid to speak in public,” she admits. “Now you have to fight a microphone away from me.” Chris Schoonveld served next. The senior home executive met her local congressman, senator, assemblyman and supervisor. “I also saw less famous people serving their community,” she says. “I presented an award to an Eagle Scout for his landscaping project. As a mom, I was proud of him.” Carmichael’s centennial in 2009 coincided with building industry leader Peter Tateishi’s mayoral term. “At our celebration, I pointed to the sky and announced, ‘Now, let’s have fireworks,’” he says. “Right on cue, a rocket exploded. It was the coolest timing.”

Chip & Jill, Owners

The Sacramento River Cats invited 2011 Mayor Pauline Gilmour to throw a first pitch. “I’d never played baseball,” recalls the teacher. “My neighbor gave me some hints. On the night at Raley Field, my pitch flew straight at the catcher and bounced. My son said I had a limp wrist. But he was proud of me.” Mexican-born Esteban Nava (aka Senor Mayor) launched his first campaign in 2012. “There’s great family pride in the Hispanic community,” explains the SMUD employee. “My sons and my wife learned how civic service works. We enjoyed it so much that I ran for a second term. Even these days, SMUD directors still introduce me as mayor of Carmichael. I’m still having fun with it.” Senior care executive Virginia Stone served back-to-back terms in 2014 and 2015. “I loved sampling the desserts at the farmers market bakeoff,” she recalls. “My employers wanted me to run for a third year but I said no. I enjoyed my terms, but being mayor means so much time and energy—and so much pie.” Life coach Julie Woodworker Hubbs won the sash in 2016. Beyond turning on Christmas lights, her most queen-for-a-night gig was opening a new jewelry store. Owner Sharif draped the mayor in $125,000 worth of diamonds and sapphires. “I told Sharif’s young manager I felt like Zsa Zsa Gabor. He asked, ‘Zsa Zsa who?’ My husband wondered if I got to keep the jewels. I suggested we sell our house.”

nything can be healed by music,” says Bill McAleavey, the Sacramento coordinator of Frets & Vets Six Strings Stronger, a guitar instruction program for veterans offered for free through the local VA. “It gives people a sense of purpose once they see what they can do.” A veteran of the Navy himself, McAleavey is also an accomplished guitar player—he used to play in a rock ‘n’ roll band that performed at weddings and parties, although he admits they “never made any money at it.” Now retired from a career in health care finance (he worked for major medical centers like Dignity Health and Stanford, and eventually traveled the country as a consultant), the Swallows Nest resident turned to teaching. After volunteering with a national nonprofit that McAleavey found wasn’t

as supportive of the local community as he would have liked, he turned to the VA. The agency was enthusiastic about the idea of providing guitar instruction to local veterans as a positive creative outlet. “The lessons give the vets a reason to get out of the house,” McAleavey explains. Classes currently take place in a conference room at Mather, but there are plans to expand to McClellan and a veteran center in Citrus Heights once they recruit more instructors. “We require that vets commit to the 10-week course, but nothing else is clear cut. It’s not, ‘by week three, you must be able to do this.’ They move at their own pace.” To participate in the program, veterans must be referred by their health care provider and sign a contract that they will show up every week for 10 weeks

until graduating from the program. At that time, they are presented with a certificate, a new guitar and a “gig bag” carrying case loaded with all the “doodads” they could need, like picks and extra strings. McAleavey says that 90 percent of the participants referred to the program are veterans with “serviceconnected issues,” such as PTSD or physical injuries from tours in Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam and more. “Every war we’ve been in is represented,” he says. The program’s first two students graduated in November and McAleavey hopes, as they beef up their volunteer corps of instructors (they currently have five), they’ll be able to serve many more. In the meantime, McAleavey is content teaching those

he can as interest in the program grows. “I like hands-on volunteering,” says McAleavey, who also serves on the food line at Loaves & Fishes with his wife once a month. “The vets are kind of like a floating target—you never know the situation you’re dealing with, so you don’t want to say, ‘Tell me about what you’ve been through.’ But because I was in the military and speak the language, sometimes I can get them talking. But most of all, the music helps them see what they’re capable of. It’s very rewarding.” For more information, email fretsnvets6ss@gmail.com.

LAND PARK LIVING SUITS THIS ACTIVE MEDIA MOM AND DAD

BC10’s Monica Woods and Walt Gray may be longtime local media personalities, but to their kids, they’re also coach, cook, mom and dad. “The kids don’t know anything different. We’ve always had media jobs,” says Woods of Abby, 16, Kelly, 13, and Joseph, 11. The family lives in Land Park along with Maltese poodle Rhody, named in honor of Gray’s stomping grounds, Rhode Island. They moved from Elk Grove into their current digs in 2007.

The couple admits they got a good deal on the house—which, built in 1938, had its original stove and no air conditioning—but it needed a lot of work. They’ve redone pipes, added insulation, installed a new kitchen and added on two bedrooms. “Every time we took down a wall, we’d find a monster in it,” says Gray, referring to the numerous surprises that popped up along the way. Despite all the work it took to make their house a home, it’s safe to say living in Land Park suits this active family. Abby, Kelly and Joseph go to schools in the area and are involved with Little League, soccer, swimming, tennis, basketball and debate. “All three of the schools are walkable and that really helps with them getting to afterschool activities,” says Gray. And for Mom and Dad? Well, with a five-minute commute to ABC10’s Broadway studios, it doesn’t get much easier. “If my car broke down I could walk,” says Gray.

These days the couple, who met in 1997 and married in 2000, share the same employer. But that was not always the case. Gray worked for nearly 25 years at KCRA-TV, first as sports director, then morning/noon anchor and finally evening anchor. He left TV briefly to host his own radio show on KSEG “The Eagle,” but returned to television in 2013 at ABC10. These days he anchors “The Morning Blend” from 4:30 to 7 a.m. on weekdays. Woods, a member of the National Weather Association, has been at the station since 2001 moving up the ranks from weekend meteorologist to her current role as chief meteorologist. If you want to know whether to wear a summer dress or a sweater on your date tonight, or to school or work tomorrow, you can catch her weather reports weeknights during the 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts. Though kids and careers keep them busy, Woods and Gray manage

to squeeze in a few outside activities. Woods serves as vice president of the Board of Directors for Solar Cookers International, a nonprofit organization that promotes solar-cooking awareness and skills worldwide. (The family enjoys solar-cooked meals four nights a week.) She’s also an avid open-water swimmer—she made the swim from Alcatraz Island in 2015. Gray has enjoyed coaching Joseph’s Little League and soccer teams, as well as Joseph’s and Kelly’s basketball teams throughout the years. “Being on a morning shift allows for that,” he says. But with his early-morning schedule (he’s up by 2:30 a.m. on weekdays), he’s more apt to take a pass on workouts. “If I have the option of catching an hour of sleep or working out like I should, I catch the nap,” he admits. Myriad separate activities and opposite work schedules aside, the family makes sure to enjoy the neighborhood amenities together.


Favorite spots include Sprouts Farmers Market for fresh fruits, veggies and deli sandwiches; Riverside Clubhouse for a special brunch; Vic’s Ice Cream for “everything”; and, says the primarily vegan Woods (she will eat fish on occasion), “Masullo salads rock!” Traveling is another favorite family activity. This past spring, they made a trip to India—Gray once lived in New Delhi—and Singapore. They make annual trips to Rhode Island to visit Gray’s family and Indiana to visit Wood’s family. In between, they do a lot of RV camping. “That’s my happy place,” says Gray.” Adds Woods, “We love heading out in our trailer and finding fun spots to set up shop. We’ve gone surfing, white-water rafting, tubing, etc., then head back to the park and chill for the night.” Destinations include Santa Cruz, Petaluma, Bodega Bay, Placerville and Yogi Bear’s

Jellystone Park. The family even camps on holidays. “Thanksgiving is in Half Moon Bay,” says Gray. Sacramento may be a long way geographically from their respective hometowns, but for Gray and Woods, there are many similarities. “Land Park reminds me a lot of Rhode Island with the trees and the homes. Each street and home is different,” says Gray. "It has a very Midwestern feel,” adds Woods. The history of the neighborhood is another draw. “There are so many multi-generation families,” says Woods. “We’ve met so many people who knew the neighborhood ‘the way it was.’ It’s so fun to hear the history from our friends’ parents and even their grandparents.” Elena M.

Winter Workout

GARDENING NOW WILL LAY FOUNDATION FOR MONTHS AHEAD

E

ven though it’s tempting to cocoon inside, winter is the time for Sacramento gardeners to pick up our tools and go outdoors. The work that we do in the next few months lays the foundation for the rest of the year. Winter is pruning season for roses, grapes and most deciduous fruit trees. Pruning encourages the growth of fruiting or flowering branches and controls a plant’s shape and size. Pruning can also improve a plant’s health by removing dead, diseased and damaged growth. Be sure to use sharp clean tools, review proper pruning

techniques for each type of plant, and get the job done before buds begin to swell (mid to late February). Cherry and apricot trees are susceptible to disease if pruned in wet conditions, so prune them after fruit is harvested next summer. Wait to prune spring blooming shrubs and trees, such as spirea, lilac, azalea, camellia, forsythia and quince, until after they flower. Retain most old wood on onceblooming roses, although it’s good to cut off the tip of each cane on all types of roses. Sanitation is also an important winter gardening task. Clear out weeds where pests can harbor, remove leaves from rose bushes, pick up diseased leaves from under plants and dispose of any fallen fruit. Many types of weeds are busily germinating and growing. Remove them now while the soil is moist and before they have a chance to send down deep roots and go to seed. If you grow peaches, nectarines or apricots, control leaf curl with a

carefully timed dormant spray, avoiding rainy and windy days. Old growth on perennials should be cut back to where new growth is emerging at the base of the plant or on the stems. If a plant is somewhat tender, leave top growth to protect it from frost. As temperatures get milder, don’t be afraid to cut back hard to promote healthy, bushy growth and lots of flowers. Shear warm-season ornamental grasses to about four inches. Don’t dig, cultivate or walk on wet soil because you can readily compact it, slowing drainage and reducing soil aeration. A good layer of mulch on the surface of planting beds will reduce that risk and suppress weeds. As you clear out and prune your garden, consider what plants you should remove altogether or move to a better space when the soil is less wet. You may find that some plants are being crowded out, are growing too big or just aren’t performing as you’d like. Some judicious editing will make a garden easier to maintain and give you an opportunity to

plant something new. Don’t forget that bulbs and some perennials disappear altogether after they bloom or during the winter. Refer to photographs or garden maps to refresh your memory of what is planted where. Shaping up your garden now also shapes you up from the exercise, fresh air and much-needed natural light. It’s good for your soul too. Hummingbirds zip by, gathering bits of fluff to make their nests. Other birds feed on seeds and insects. You may even spot a rainbow. Much better than cocooning!

Conventional Thinking CITY PLUNGES INTO EXPANSION FOR GUESTS, ARTS

I

n June 2018, Sacramento began the first phase of its C3 Project, the renovation and expansion of the Convention Center, Memorial Auditorium and Community Center Theater. The City Council unanimously approved the issuance of up to $350 million in bonds in September to pay for the project; however, according to City Councilmember Steve Hansen, who represents Downtown, some improvements have been under discussion for two decades. “C3 is the continuation of projects that have been in various stages of discussion, some of them for as long as 20 years,” says Hansen, referring specifically to the Community Center Theater. “It really is a time capsule from 1974. If you were to go backstage, you wouldn’t believe the wires running

everywhere. It looks like the original Starship Enterprise. It just needed to be taken from midcentury into this century.” Hansen notes the city has been under court order to update the Community Center Theater’s federal disability access since the early 2000s. In addition to technical and aesthetic improvements, the city also expects the C3 Project to induce development, much like the Golden 1 Center. Since the arena’s construction, Hansen says

the city has seen more than $1 billion of ancillary development. C3, says Hansen, “should help rectify the shortage of about 2,000 hotel rooms Downtown that we need to compete for larger events.” The city hired the architectural firm Populous and contractor AECOM Hunt to carry out the $182 million in improvements specific to the Convention Center. Assistant project manager Sabrina Tefft says the renovation and expansion will create

new opportunities for the Convention Center to host more events. “The way the Convention Center currently is set up makes it very hard to host two events,” Tefft says. The current Convention Center design has only one lobby and entrance, effectively preventing the city from playing host to multiple events at the same time. “The biggest impact will be adding another lobby on the east side of the building,” she says. The city hopes to see a new hotel developed across the

street from the eastern lobby, connected to the expanded Convention Center via a skywalk. The renovation will improve the existing plaza between the Convention Center and Community Center Theater. “We’re hoping it will be a place where the community can gather, enjoy the space, and that the theater can utilize for outdoor performances in the summertime,” Tefft says. Improvements to the Community Center Theater, whose construction is scheduled from this May to September 2020, are estimated to cost $84 million. Plans by architectural firm DLR Group show the theater expanding its lobby to the edge of L Street. “Currently, the theater is set back away from the sidewalk and the street, and we are going to push it out to the sidewalk so that it’s right on the street, and it will have floor-to-ceiling glass,” Tefft says. The $16.2 million renovation of the Memorial Auditorium will provide additional seats and include acoustic, video and audio enhancements. Construction is underway and expected to be completed by May, coinciding with the start of construction of the Community Center Theater. “That’s kind of the purpose of the improvements to the Memorial Auditorium,” says Tefft, noting the refurbished auditorium will allow continued programming of arts events traditionally booked into the Community Center Theater. “We are

getting it set up now so we can move events over to the Memorial Auditorium while the Community Center Theater is being renovated.” The expanded Convention Center will feature new meeting rooms, exhibit halls and kitchen space, with Sacramento hotels paying $50 million to construct a new ballroom. The $350 million bonds approved by the City Council will not be repaid from the city’s general fund, but through the city’s Transient Occupancy Tax, a 12-percent tax on hotel and short-term rentals.

Cooperative Coffee SMALL-SCALE, FARMER-OWNED PACHAMAMA PRODUCES SUPERIOR PRODUCT

W

ith its spacious interior, exposed beams and brickand-wood aesthetic, the 6,000-square-foot Pachamama Roastery Coffeebar that opened in Midtown early last year resembles many other specialty coffeeshops around town and across the United States. However, no matter how similar it might seem to other so-called “third-wave” coffee roasters, Pachamama operates under the most unique business structure of any coffee company in the country. Launched in 2006, the Pachamama Coffee Cooperative of Small-Scale Coffee Producers is a fully farmer-owned and operated outfit. The company is the brainchild of co-founder and CEO Thaleon Tremain, who saw the subpar standard of living for coffee farmers firsthand while serving in the Peace Corps in Bolivia in the 1990s. Pachamama is essentially a cooperative of cooperatives representing more than 100,000 small farmers, with member organizations from Guatemala, Ethiopia, Mexico, Peru and Nicaragua sharing the equity and governance of the company.

This business model flows more profits to small producers by cutting out the middlemen and purchasing beans directly from the farmers, resulting in a superior product. “When they have equity in the company, they’re more incentivized to send us their better coffee,” says Lauren Taber, communications manager for Pachamama. “Because they’re selling their own coffee, they want to have the best crop available, so they’re sending us their highest-quality coffee and that’s what we’re roasting and selling.” Not only are the farmers empowered by this arrangement, but the environment benefits as well. “Because we’re owned by small-scale farmers, they have more of an incentive to keep their own patch of land healthy and operating, and not just be looking to produce as much coffee as possible,” Taber says. All Pachamama products are USDA Certified Organic. The word Pachamama means “Mother Earth” in Quechua, an ancient Andean language. “It’s really a big part of the Andean worldview, this idea that Mother Earth gives to us so much, there needs to be a reciprocal relationship where we also give back in the form of sustainable production and honoring the Earth in everything that we do,” says Taber. “It just made sense in going back to the mission of why Pachamama was started, of having a more reciprocal relationship between coffee producers and coffee consumers.” Although Tremain is a native of Ohio and earned his MBA at the University of Texas, he elected to headquarter operations in Northern California. “He knew that the Sacramento area, with


e

Employees Daniel Milla (left) and Paul Lockett prepare coffee subscriptions for shipping. the agricultural hub that it is, would really appreciate the connection to farmers that traditionally have been left out of the conversation in the U.S.,” Taber says. “I think he knew that it would be the right market to understand exactly how important that connection is, as far as a seed-to-coffee enterprise.” Pachamama opened as an onlineonly business, roasting coffee in small batches and shipping directly to subscribers. The company’s farmerfocused mission made it a perfect fit for natural food stores and grocery cooperatives, so a robust wholesale operation was built. Those subscription and wholesale operations are still thriving (you can even buy Pachamama beans on Amazon), but the farmers that make up the Pachamama Board of Directors have recently focused on expanding the brick-and-mortar side of the business. “They wanted to be able to have control through every step of the process, and there was also the idea that a latte is the most value-added that you can put on coffee,” Taber says. “It was a way for them to capture even more of the retail value of the coffee that they’re growing, to sell it in a café setting.”

Coffee plants and photos are part of the decor at Pachamama.

With the new Midtown location added to a smaller East Sacramento coffee bar last March, Pachamama has been able to raise its profile in the community. In addition, the larger building allows for onsite classes and concerts, including a November benefit for the Camp Fire victims. “It’s been a place for us to be a larger part of the Sacramento community in a more active way,” Taber says. Pachamama continued a breakthrough in 2018 by signing on as the official coffee sponsor of the Sacramento Farmto-Fork Festival and winning two Good Food Awards. As for the future of Pachamama, that’s in the hands of the farmers, although further expansion in the Sacramento area seems likely. “It’s really up to the what the board of directors wants to do,” Taber says. “Ultimately we’re just going to keep growing and roasting more and more coffee every month and getting out the story of what Pachamama is and why we do what we do.” Daniel Barnes can be reached at danielebarnes@hotmail.com. n

Resolved

To Move MOBILITY IS THE PERFECT NEW YEAR’S GOAL

I

f there was one New Year’s resolution that would help you do all the following, wouldn’t you jump at the idea? • Lose weight and look better. • Feel better and be happier. • Be healthier and ward off disease and dementia. • Save time and money. • Reduce stress and anxiety. • Live longer with better quality of life. Those are some, but not all, of the direct, personal benefits from carrying out this single, superlative resolution. Also, it will make your neighborhood more sociable and livable. And it could help save the whole planet. What’s this all-purpose, miraculous resolution? It’s simple: Occasionally substitute biking or walking for a car trip.

S W By Walt SeLfert Getting There

IA JAN n 19

It’s not that hard to do, especially when you integrate “active transportation” into your weekly routine. It’s easier than sticking to a strict, goody-free diet. It’s way more fun than grimly using a treadmill in a gym. No Botox injections or surgeries are required. Our bodies are fundamentally designed to move. The federal government released its updated 10-year-old physical activity guidelines in November. The guidelines call for adults to get at least two and a half to five hours of moderate-intensity activity, or one and a quarter to two and a half hours of vigorous activity, a week. Only 20 percent of adults reach those levels. Many people have trouble fitting time for activity into busy schedules, or just don’t consider the possibility of walking or biking to get somewhere. Northeastern University neuroscientist Charles Hillman, who helped develop the guidelines, said, “Every time you’re active, you feel better, think better and sleep better.” Doesn’t that sound good? And while some activity is better than none, more is better than some. Getting more activity doesn’t mean you have to run a marathon or commute by bike every day. Instead, walk or bike on a neighborhood jaunt to the post office, drug store, barber or hairdresser,

or restaurant. Years ago, my wife began taking one trip a week by bike. Everyone doing that will likely make more such trips as they discover the joy of combining body movement with transportation. My wife now bikes several times a week and loves it. Recently she was running late and drove to the gym (per the guidelines, strength training is also a good idea) instead of biking. It took her 11 minutes to drive instead of the 15 minutes by bike. But driving lost her 30 minutes of activity time. Instead of arriving at the gym warmed up, she arrived cold. Also, she increased her sitting time by 22 minutes, not a good thing. The guidelines say sitting is “especially harmful.” Think about that while you’re driving, watching TV or at your computer. When she talks to her locker-room buddies at the gym about biking, a common response is, “I could do

that.” Why don’t they? It could be fear (another topic) or lack of resolve (this very topic). You can fix the resolve part on New Year’s Day. It may be a bit daunting to think about walking and biking in January, when days are short and it’s often rainy and a bit nippy. But you know what? You can bundle up. Rain doesn’t fall every day and there are breaks in the precipitation. Make your trips when the weather is good. You can also wait for spring, but, really, there’s no time to start like right now. Happy New Year! I wish you health and happiness. The key to both could be in how you decide to get around. Walt Seifert is executive director of Sacramento Trailnet, an organization devoted to promoting greenways with paved trails. He can be reached at bikeguy@surewest.net. n

Walking Among the Wounded NURSES SACRIFICE PARTS OF THEIR OWN EXISTENCE TO HELP OTHERS

I

have a story I’ve never written. Not because I lost it or forgot about it, but because it’s so graphic I thought it needed a preliminary warning. In 1990, I left my work as a congregational pastor to begin a oneyear internship transitioning into a career as a hospital chaplain. During my internship at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, I worked four rotations in various parts of the hospital. The one I will never forget was the 13 weeks I spent working in the burn unit. The burn unit was a highly specialized assignment. While I dropped in a few times a day, nurses limited

their care to only one patient during a 12-hour shift. I will never forget the patient I met there named Mr. Brown. His nurse explained to me how Brown’s condition was the tragic result of love scorned. His girlfriend had doused him with gasoline and set him afire as he lay in a drunken sleep. Due to his name, I was struck by the irony of Mr. Brown’s tragedy. He was African-American, but the fire altered his skin pigment, changing his face to an almost albino white. Honestly, I wanted to be anywhere else but in that burn unit. The patients were hard to look at through my inexperienced eyes. Mr. Brown was one who spoke so softly that I had to bring myself close enough to absorb his pain with all my senses—smell, sight and, yes, even touch through gloved hands for his protection. I spoke with him daily, but I had other patients to see, so I can’t tell you where I was in the hospital when I overheard the page: “Chaplain Burkes, to the burn unit, stat.”

A few minutes later, I stood at the washing station, prepping for my entrance. After donning gloves, mask and a gown, I punched an electric switch with my elbow and hurried through the unit’s opening doors. At the nurses’ station, I met Brown’s nurse who told me he’d passed away. “Where’s the family?” I asked. “They left an hour ago,” she said. After all my entry prep, I shot her a disappointing look. “They didn’t stay long,” she said. Youthful impatience percolated under my mask. I wanted to scold her for not calling me in time to meet the family. Instead, I began making feeble excuses to leave. Then, just as I turned to do so, I saw her tears slipping past her mask. I motioned her toward the nurses’ lounge, where we found a place to sit as she unfolded her story. She removed her gloves and dropped her mask. The nursing bravado was gone. “I spoke with him for hours every day,” she sobbed. “Now he’s gone.”

Our conversation was the first time I really thought about the fact that people who help people will get hurt. There’s no way they can walk among the wounded without leaving crumbling pieces of their hearts on the floor. It’s as if they sacrifice parts of their own existence to sustain a few more years of existence for others. That’s what nurses do. Today, in that same burn unit in Northern California, dedicated nurses are working around the clock to help the victims of the infamous Camp Fire. I ask you to pray for these nurses and others, to respect what they do and give to those who bravely stand in the gap between disaster and us.

Feline Family CAT-LOVING SENIORS STEP UP TO HELP HOMELESS FERALS

(From left) Angie Ferrando, Ann Nelson and Lauren O'Keefe work with Albert Einstein Center executive director Leslie Finke to help feral cat population.

A

“civil war” is how Leslie Finke describes the situation among residents a little over a year ago at the Albert Einstein Center in ArdenArcade. “It got downright vicious,” says Finke, the center’s executive director

for 37 years. “I’ve been here a long time. I’ve never seen such disharmony in the building. It was a civil war here. People were so mean to each other.” The problem was feral cats. At the height of the controversy, 12 to15 unaltered felines, mostly untouchable, had taken up residence in and around the grounds of the Einstein Center, a 78-unit independent living facility for people 62 years and older or disabled. Situated close to several large apartment complexes, the center has long been a harbor for cats left behind when tenants move out, as well as those who are just discarded. “Next door is beautifully landscaped now. But it used to be a field of overgrown weeds,” Finke

says. “People were dumping cats there all the time. We’ve had cats there for decades.” The stray and feral felines became a problem when the center was mandated a nonsmoking building, explains Finke. “People couldn’t smoke in their apartments, so we created a space outside for people to smoke. And when people started smoking out there, they started seeing all these cats.”

“The smoking area became a lightning rod for everyone,” says Lauren O’Keefe, a former resident concerned with the cats’ wellbeing. “Some people were feeding them— leaving food out—which was attracting skunks and raccoons and opossums,” Finke says. “So, you had a variety of people who loved the cats and wanted to feed them. And you had a variety of people who hated them.”

THE ORIGINAL COLONY IS DOWN TO SEVEN CATS NOW.

MEETING WAS CALLED “The cats were getting into the raised garden beds and pooping,” Finke recalls. “There were cat fights and meowing at night.” It was not long before kittens started showing up. So, in November 2017, Finke called a two-hour meeting to seek resident participation in solving the center’s kitty conundrum. To help facilitate the meeting, Finke invited a representative from Sacramento Feral Resources, a volunteer group that provides guidance to the community regarding stray and feral cat populations. According to Sacramento Feral Resources, feral cats (also known as “community cats”) typically avoid people and cannot be touched or handled by humans. They usually live outdoors in colonies. Simply trapping and removing the felines has proven ineffective—other cats will find their way into the neighborhood and quickly repopulate. The initial meeting was well attended by nearly 50 people, weighing in on both sides. But “things got pretty explosive,” Finke says. Some residents walked out. Despite the acrimony, the group decided that TNR (trap, neuter, return) was the best solution. With the help of volunteers, residents and family members, the cats were carefully caught using humane traps, transported to lowcost clinics for spaying and neutering, vaccinated for rabies, and returned to the center. Cats that needed medical attention were treated. Ears were notched (a quarter inch removed at the tip of one ear), a universal sign that the cats had been altered.

ONE YEAR LATER The original colony is down to seven cats now—Lisa, Harley, Goldie, Lyuva, Alexandra, Blondie and Victor Victoria—with about seven feeding

stations strategically placed around the center grounds. “Two of the cats were relocated to a barn program,” says O’Keefe, referring to a safe and secure outdoor area with a barn or other structure to shelter unfriendly felines. “We wanted them to take more, but they fill up so fast,” she adds. Angie Ferrando and Ann Nelson, who have each lived at the Einstein Center for approximately five years, do most of the feline feeding. Working as a team, they carefully analyze the best locations to place dry kibble and the ideal food/water bowl arrangements to reduce sabotage by other residents who still don’t approve of the cats. Food is donated by the center, tenants, friends and family, and kept in Nelson’s apartment. “We’re more than friends of the cats,” Ferrando says. “We love those cats. Most were born here—they’ve become family.” Unfortunately, kittens were recently spotted around the back gate of the complex, so the residents set up another feeding station with high-calorie kitten food for the babies and their emaciated mama while she’s still nursing. One big unaltered male has proven impossible to trap, and other strays come and go. Trapping will need to resume. “TNR benefits the cats and the community,” according to the Sacramento County Animal Care and Regulation website. “Together, we can educate people about feral cats and spread the word that TNR is the humane and effective approach for feral cats.” For information on how to help feral and stray cats in the community, visit Sacramento Feral Resources at sacferals.com.

Glory Days COUPLE BRINGS LIFE BACK TO PROMINENT POVERTY RIDGE HOME

S

acramento’s grand homes of yesteryear were places where family and friends gathered for merriment and good cheer. Stately mansions with flowing rooms, high ceilings and wide staircases accommodated a multitude of guests

who enjoyed lavish banquets, drink and dance. When local real estate agent Ted Russert and his husband Matt Martinez purchased a historic two-story home in Midtown in 2016, grand gatherings were exactly what they had in mind. Following a yearlong renovation to bring the impressive old home back to its original glory, the couple threw a holiday open house attended by hundreds of friends, family and clients, as well as many people in the real estate community. “This is a great home for entertaining,” says Russert, who has been in the real estate business for more than two decades and is currently with RE/MAX Gold Midtown.

The distinguished home was designed by prominent Sacramento architect Rudolph Herold, who created Sacramento City Hall, the Masonic Temple on J Street, Mercy Hospital and Del Paso Country Club, among other landmarks. The Midtown home was a guesthouse for Sacramento Bee owner and editor Charles K. McClatchy and his wife Ella. The McClatchy family lived next door in what is now the Ella K. McClatchy Library. The guest home took three years to build—from 1910 to 1913—in the hilltop neighborhood of Poverty Ridge, and over the years became a temporary residence for visiting family and friends, and out-of-town newspaper reporters and musicians.

When Russert and Martinez purchased the historic home from the McClatchy family, they were committed to carefully and patiently resurrecting the original detail and architectural style of the home. “Thankfully, the place was all in original condition,” Martinez says. “It had not been updated. It needed a lot help, not only to bring the full glory back to life of the original architecture, but putting new systems in place for modern living.” The home’s architecture is a PrairieEgyptian Revival style with linear lines and art deco details. “Many of the homes, if not all the homes, in this area have a lot of architectural significance,” Martinez explains. Of particular note are the decorative plaster “faces” adorning the exterior and details in


the crown molding of the three front rooms. “We were told that the faces on the outside were a gift from William Randolph Hearst to the McClatchys.” The 3,960-square-foot home boasts 15 rooms, including four bedrooms, four baths, a music room, living room, entry, dining room, kitchen, butler’s pantry and laundry room (originally a servant’s quarters), plus an indoor/outdoor garden room and a third-story tower that leads to a flat roof. “We plan to put a nice roof deck up there because the views of Downtown are incredible,” Martinez says. The home has two staircases—a main staircase that leads to a stained-glass window made by Tiffany, and a servant’s staircase from the kitchen—as well as three fireplaces. The elaborate relief tile surrounding the dining room fireplace depicts pears, grapes, pomegranates and plums. Vintage andirons were purchased at the monthly Sacramento Antique Fair, which is in walking distance of the house. “We’ve acquired some really cool things there,” Russert says. The original red oak hardwood floors on both levels are accented with a mahogany inlay. The couple refurbished the double-hung windows throughout the home. “Every room has windows on two walls at least,” Martinez notes. “You get lots of light and never feel closed in.” The ceilings were repaired and re-plastered in every room, and most of the baseboards were rebuilt. For electrical outlets, “we used the baseboards to run wiring so we wouldn’t have to rip into the walls” Russert says. Light switches were replaced with old-style push buttons. The original chandeliers were removed long ago, so the couple chose all new light fixtures. Among them are an 1890s bronze chandelier in

the family room, a French bisque in the master bedroom and a stunning 1910 Parisian crystal chandelier in the entry. They added all new appliances and a custom-built island in the kitchen, but kept the black tile countertops and cabinets, which were probably added in the 1970s. “A true 1910 kitchen was empty,” Russert says. “We have a cemented room downstairs where they kept the ice.” “This area is experiencing a renaissance now,” Martinez says. “It’s not just in concert with the overall Midtown renaissance that’s happening—people are finally realizing these are great homes.” “To do it right is very laborious, time consuming and expensive,” adds Russert. “We could have taken shortcuts to make it easier, but you hesitate to take them when you have a special home.” To recommend a house or garden for Home Insight, contact Cathryn Rakich at crakich@surewest.net. n

HOW SAC STATE CASHES IN ON SPORTS

old Sac State deserves some cheers. On any given day, there are about 470 varsity athletes enrolled at Sac State. They attend classes, train hard, wear the Hornet colors and play their best. Most have no hope of earning a living as professional athletes. They play because sports help pay for their education. And they love competition. Many of them even graduate—about 75 percent. It’s worth noting that most of Sac State’s 470 athletes are not competing in high-visibility games. They are not football or basketball players. The football team carries 95 players. Men’s basketball has 14. That leaves about 361 who compete in rowing, tennis, golf,

volleyball, track, gymnastics, soccer, softball and baseball. When it comes to athletic inclusion, Sac State is an equal-opportunity campus. The school has more women varsity athletes than men, 248 to 220, at last official count. This makes sense because there are about 3,100 more women than men enrolled fulltime at Sac State. “Women are a major part of our athletics program,” says Brian Berger, assistant athletic director. “They have been some of our most successful teams over the years, with championships in golf and volleyball.” Some things aren’t equal, especially coaching pay and opportunity. In 2017,

the people who coached Sac State men’s teams had average salaries of $125,370, against $69,727 for head coaches of women’s teams. Salary data require deeper consideration. Eight men were head coaches of women’s teams at Sac State. Only two women ran women’s teams (no women coached men’s teams). Every women’s team had one or two female assistant coaches. Improving coaching opportunities and the accompanying pay for women should be a priority at 6000 J St. Football is the big “revenue” sport at Sac State because it sells more tickets and attracts more dollars with advertising and sponsorships.

year, football brings in about $3.8 million, far more than any other team. But football doesn’t make money. It covers its expenses. Sac State women athletes are winners when it comes to revenue. They don’t sell as many tickets as football or men’s basketball, but they attract dollars through student fees and state funds. (Sac State students voted years ago to tax themselves extra for sports.) Overall, women athletes account for about $6.8 million in revenue for the Hornet athletics department. Men contribute about $8.3 million, including football. Those numbers allow athletics to maintain a positive balance of about $600,000 per year. These numbers are from a website called ope.ed.gov. It’s run by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Postsecondary Education, and covers all universities. UC Davis has statistics similar to Sac State, but tends to dominate the Hornets in sports. Which is a good reminder: In sports and life, data only tells part of the story. R.E.

Ancient Meets Modern CHINESE-BORN MASTER BRIDGES EAST AND WEST WITH HIS ART

Shimo

I

f you know where to look, you start to see Shimo everywhere. A Chinese-born, Sacramento-based “Eastern Neo-Expressionism” master, Shimo has created works that range from passionately colorful oil paintings to intricately beautiful porcelains. They can be found on display at the Sacramento Convention Center, Crocker Art Museum and his own Shimo Center for the Arts in Midtown. Shimo is practically a household name in China, where he recently

DB By Daniel Barnes Artist Spotlight

IA JAN n 19

helped set up a show for his good friend Gregory Kondos, but the path to international success was never easy. Like the lotus flowers that figure prominently in his work, Shimo emerged in a dark place, only to become a symbol of beauty. He was born in Shanghai, China, in 1962, just a few years before the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution in 1966. For the next decade, the Maoist government forcefully purged capitalist elements from Chinese society, and, as art became a propaganda tool, nonconforming artists were persecuted. Shimo’s family was considered wealthy, so their home and assets were seized, leaving the child in a precarious situation. “During that period for Chinese, we consider it a very dark period, because the government controlled all the things,” says Shimo’s wife Winly Chen, who helped translate during our interview (Shimo speaks

very limited English). Too young to be targeted as a subversive, Shimo initially turned to art as a means of survival. At the age of 5, Shimo was told, “If you want to survive, you need to be artist, learn to do artwork,” says Chen. From there on, Shimo would visit a park every day to work on his sketches. Shimo fell in love with art, building a foundation in classic Chinese water and ink painting before applying

to art school, where he learned oil painting and accrued influences from the West. “That’s the reason why from his painting you can feel a little Western and Eastern,” says Chen. An exhibition at the Beijing Embassy catapulted Shimo to prominence. He was eventually encouraged by the Chinese government to apply for a visa to live in America and promote his art. Once settled in Sacramento, Shimo realized


to his delight that the city was home to beloved artists like Kondos and Wayne Thiebaud, and the city’s slower pace allowed him to focus on his work. “Sacramento is a very quiet city,” says Chen. “Shanghai, it is an international city, very crowded. … Sacramento very calm.” The bridge between ancient Eastern technique and contemporary Western abstraction lies at the heart of Shimo’s work, and he even has favorite flowers for each hemisphere. In China, he focused on the lotus. “The lotus in China is a symbol of the sanctity of the people,” says Shimo through a translator app on his phone. But America inspires him to paint the calla lily. His flower paintings blend these influences like separate streams of water, as flowing lines and bold colors meld in perfect harmony. But perhaps nothing captures Shimo’s East-meets-West, ancientmeets-modern aesthetic better than his porcelains, which garnered him a solo show at the Crocker in 2015. Shimo worked tirelessly to master the high-quality clay found in Jingdezhen, the “porcelain capital” of China since

the 14th century, and he destroyed every piece that didn’t come out perfect. “He doesn’t want to have any defect, which means any bubble or something like that,” says Chen. “He doesn’t want people to see any mistake.” The surviving porcelains are indeed perfect, blemish-free and so thin that they are practically translucent, with a modernist shape that belies the ancient technique. After finishing the porcelain in the kiln, Shimo draws on the outside using blue cobalt oxide, another ancient technique that he subverts with the abstract shapes of his flowers, birds, landscapes and figures. Married since 1991, Shimo and Chen started the Shimo Center for the Arts on the ground floor of their Midtown home in 2012 to promote local artists. “My gallery is dedicated to providing an exchange platform for professional artists in our city,” says Shimo through the translator app. The couple used to hold a show every month or two, but they have scaled back in recent years as Shimo currently splits his time between creating art in Sacramento and

teaching art at Shanghai University in China. Although he has lived in the United States since 2003, he still gets a much different reception in China. “The Chinese people know his name much better than here, for American people still need to learn about him,” says Chen. “But in China, once you say his name, people know about

that.” To that end, Shimo plans to continue improving his art, from the oil paintings to the porcelains to the water and ink work. “I will create a series of works that show the American spirit,” says Shimo. Daniel Barnes can be reached at danielebarnes@hotmail.com. n

Canon Fodder ONE YEAR IN AND EAST SAC EATERY IS AS AMBITIOUS AS EVER

anon has been open for slightly more than a year. In that period, the East Sacramento restaurant has played with format, menu, presentation and everything in between. A recent full menu overhaul and a whole new offering of adventurous plates means, in a way, starting anew.

GS By Greg Sabin Restaurant Insider

IA JAN n 19

Owner Clay Nutting and chef Brad Cecchi, to put it simply, aren’t phoning it in. When Canon opened in October 2017, the first thing that told the casual observer that this would not be a run-of-the-mill establishment was the location. Tucked away on 34th Street, surrounded by industrial space and no other evening businesses open anywhere nearby, Canon’s presence alone spoke volumes. Nutting says the location was a small corner of Sacramento that most residents hadn’t traveled to. “When people drop in,” he says, “it’s almost like they’re a tourist in their own town.” The buildout was one of the more impressive in the recent restaurant boom. During an epoch where new restaurants are opening every day, and the “new thing in town” phase lasts

less than a week, Canon’s space was something to talk about. A high pine-paneled ceiling draws the eye up and crowns the room like some Viking hall. Dangling from that ceiling and studded on the walls are architecturally impossible light fixtures that seem like they’re from the future and the past at the same time. The walls are well adorned with modern art, including a chaotic and edgy beauty by local artist Nate Cordero, whose recent passing was quite a blow to the Sacramento art scene. It’s no surprise that the feeling and atmosphere of Canon are more than that of a simple dining hall. Nutting has had his hand in the local art scene for a while—he was a driving force behind the ArtStreet and Art Hotel projects— and is a bit notorious for championing

creative spaces that go beyond just being places and double as experiences. Cecchi leaves the creativity on the plate. His menu looks simple enough when given a cursory glance, but the ingredients and preparations are an intricate web, drawing from all over the world. Whether it’s the Japanese octopus on the pickle plate, or the Italian tonnato (a tuna-infused sauce) on the beef tartare, or the Tunisian harissa butter that tops the BBQ oysters, the multiple swipes through the global pantry definitely give depth and complexity to the dishes. Each sharable dish (small and large dishes are meant to be shared) brings a host of flavors, textures and visuals. Take, for example, the wonderfully playful smoked trout tart. Now, to start off, I’m a sucker for smoked fish. You could put smoked trout on a radial tire


and I’d enjoy it. Cecchi’s preparation, as you’d assume, is much better than that. He starts with a house-made, saladplate-size sourdough cracker and tops it delicately with gorgeous chunks of house-smoked trout, horseradish cream,

caraway seed, sneakily marinated apples, silken roe and, finally, with a stunning and insightful flourish, tops off the plate with a nasturtium leaf. I think I was aware that you could eat a nasturtium leaf, but I don’t think I ever

had. The flavor is earthy and luscious and perfectly cuts through the smoke the fish, the salt of the roe and the heat of the horseradish. All in all, a beautiful plate.

The rest of the menu is just as ambitious: crispy cauliflower with candied peanuts, squash with popcorn and brown butter, roasted beets with smoked blue cheese. Dishes like these don’t come without risk, however. The grilled short rib, unlike the typical preparation that is slow cooked and gravy laden, is served dry with the rather impressive beef rib alongside. The grilled preparation leaves a bit of work to be done by the diner in the chewing department, and might not be up everyone’s alley. The cocktail menu is a work of art with creative use of ingredients and flavors pushing the envelope of craft cocktailing. On one visit, my lovely wife chose not to drink alcohol and the bartender deftly put together a freakishly good “mocktail” without a second thought. It’s an impressive beverage experience. The minds behind Canon do not lack in ambition. Whether it’s the space, the menu or just the vision, this restaurant is a someplace. And you feel like a someone when you’re there. Canon is at 1719 34th St.; (916) 4692433; canoneastsac.com. Greg Sabin can be reached at gregsabin@hotmail.com. n
