Returning Home!

After four moves in five years, Mary and Justin

Horner and their beautiful 15-month-old twins have returned to Sierra Oaks, the neighborhood where Mary grew up. The old neighborhood becomes the new one.

And the next generation is off and running.

Mary and Justin understand better than most that “where to live” can be a complicated problem: not just number of beds and baths, or how to integrate professional and personal decisions. It’s about deeper things—values and roots.

Being a part of this couple’s life, if just briefly, is why I do what I do!

A Bright Future CELEBRATING ALL THAT SACRAMENTO HAS TO OFFER

M

y love of our city is a driving force behind much of what I have spent my life doing. But I have never been more excited about the future of our urban core than I am now.

In August and September, a trio of great events came together.

During the last week of August, the newly minted Sacramento Mural Festival left our central city with 10 gorgeous new murals painted on the sides of privately owned buildings.

(See our photo spreads taken by Aniko Kiezel.)

The effort was more than a year in the making. Much credit goes to the volunteer efforts of David Sobon and Cheryl Holben. The Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission, under director Shelly Willis, lent its expertise to the process in selecting the artists— some local, others from across the nation and the world.

This project was privately funded by the building owners and other sponsors.

Not a penny of public money was spent.

Sacramento Mural Festival was expertly promoted by Patrick Harbison, who lent his time and PR expertise. An enormous number of people from around the region were lured downtown to see the work in progress over the course of a week. David Sobon told me that many who came had never once been downtown.

Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates organized an impromptu bike ride that week to visit all 10 mural sites, and more than 250 folks showed up. Jan Sweeney from Fleet Feet told me she was organizing fun runs to visit the murals.

The festival organizers plan to make this an annual event, so if you missed it, there’s always next year. Visit sacramentomuralfestival. com for a map of mural locations and plan your own voyage of discovery.

From Heart to Art ONLINE-DRIVEN CARE-PACKAGE PROGRAM GIVES MATERIAL FODDER TO CREATIVE TYPES

T

here’s a good reason Jennifer Keller loves to poke around Arden and Carmichael thrift stores, garage sales and antique shops. It’s in those places where she finds little treasures that stir her creative juices.

Such sleuthing and stirring has led this colorful artist from one idea to another. Keller has a fantastic blog about art and sharing creativity.

And now she’s taking it one step further with her latest idea, Creative Care Packages, a new twist of care packages that uses Facebook as an online artistic loop that becomes both live and local while drawing talented artists together.

Leave it to an artist to mastermind an imaginative way to inspire creativity. Keller says she came up with the idea in a single flash. It works like this: Artists have a pile of miscellaneous supplies that may sit idle and unused for days or years on end. Why not have them create little care packages of those oddball items and send them to one another as a sort of creative challenge gesture, urging one another to create something unique from that care package?

Think of a chain letter. Think of a “pay it forward and sideways” approach to sharing artistic ideas and

Jennifer Keller founded the Facebook group Creative Care Packages, in which artists gift each other art supplies, challenging one another to create something from the gift

supplies while building camaraderie, collaboration and friendship.

Creative Care Packages is set up on Facebook as an online community program where participants’ free care packages include art supplies, found objects and mixed media elements.

Recipients have a few weeks to create a work of art from their care package before sharing it with the group.

“It’s meant to facilitate the flow of creativity and spark inspiration,” Keller says. “Have you ever secretly wished that you got more presents? I can’t think of a better way to brighten my day than getting a surprise gift.

“And experts say it revs up your endorphins to give a gift just as much as it does to receive a gift. This is how I want people to feel.”

Every month Keller is giving away one free care package jammed with creative goodies, curiosities from nature and small thrifted treasures.

To win the care package, folks need to join the Creative Care Packages Facebook Group and the free Creative Sanctuary page of Keller’s website.

Members can then join in and give away their own Creative Care Packages in an online loop that becomes live and local as more folks participate.

“I’m always looking for ways to get involved with other artists,” Keller says. “One day cleaning out my studio I realized I had all these fabulous supplies that have just been sitting around. Instead of waiting to see if I’d every use them, I decided to create this group where we could share and collaborate.

“I’m trying to draw out some of the ‘gung-ho’ artists out there who want to make stuff.”

Keller knows a thing or two about art supplies, herself having a long history in the art supply business ARDEN page 14

PUBLISHER FROM page 11 The end of August also brought the completion of the first installation of the Sacramento Walk of Stars.

My friends Scot and Lucy Crocker spearheaded this great project and put in more than a year of volunteer work to make it happen.

This year’s five stars included artist Gregory Kondos, film and television star LeVar Burton, Olympic Gold medalist swimmer Debbie Meyer, musician Timothy Schmit, formerly of the Eagles, and Dr. Ernie Bodai, who founded the breast cancer research stamp.

The gala dinner celebration on Aug. 31 at Memorial Auditorium was a terrific event. All five stars spoke of their love of Sacramento and the impact it had on their lives and careers. Their stories were as different as the careers they found success in. And every one of these accomplished people was humble, gracious and appreciative of the honor.

Their bright blue stars are now permanently embedded in sidewalks

along L Street in the city’s Handle District. The Walk of Stars gives people another reason to visit The Handle (in addition to the neighborhood’s great shopping and dining).

There are dozens of attractive and compelling development projects in the works for the city in the next few years.

In early September, we released our new photo-driven guidebook, “Inside Sacramento: The Most Interesting Neighborhood Places in America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital.”

We celebrated our launch with a

party at the Crocker Art Museum for the owners of the book’s 101 places and our sponsors. When Mayor-elect Darrell Steinberg introduced me, he had a creative idea. He suggested folks buy the new book and use it as a Sacramento “bucket list” challenge.

Plan to visit every place in the book, he said. When you’re all done, pass the book on to someone who just moved to the area.

The book was a labor of love for me. I grew frustrated with our city being underrated as a destination for visitors and people who live here. The way our city has grown over many decades, we never developed defined districts with concentrations of small businesses as is common in many cities.

Instead, numerous city neighborhoods developed, with places to eat and shop spread over blocks and blocks. With this dispersion, it isn’t easy to see all we have to offer as a city. Our book’s photos and stories pull together a vibrant collection of locally owned business that compare to the best of even sophisticated cities like San Francisco or Portland.

With Golden 1 Center opening this month, an adjacent new hotel and retail development opening next spring, and the gorgeous new McKinley Village housing development in East Sacramento that opened in September (see our story on the public art component), we have much to celebrate and be proud of. Councilmember Jeff Harris told me recently that there are dozens of attractive and compelling development projects in the works for the city in the next few years.

We also just finished year four of our city’s month-long Farm-to-Fork Celebration. Dozens of amazing events were offered showcasing the rich agricultural bounty of our area.

I believe that Sacramento, and many of the people who live here, have been hampered by a self-inflicted inferiority complex. Now is the time we shed that concept and start celebrating all the wonderful things and places our city has to offer.

Fall is in the air! Embrace the season with a trip to a local pumpkin patch.

in our studios, we invite new energy to flow in.”

with the warm hues of fall leaves, the time when shadows grow long earlier and earlier as daylight time shrinks.

Footballs fly. Homecomings loom.

And on any given Saturday morning you’ll undoubtedly be able to open your window to the distant cheering of families as they rally on young soccer players.

It’s harvest season. Time to pick your pumpkins, try your hand at butternut squash soup and enjoy the change in season. To help get you in the mood, we have a few suggestions of not-so-far away pumpkin patches where you can fall in love with fall.

The Pumpkin Farm: Just beyond Carmichael in the town of Citrus Heights along Old Auburn Road this 16-acre farm is celebrating its 42nd harvest season. It will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily except Mondays throughout October.

The farm features a haunted barn, a zoo, hayrides, a jumping castle, slides, a corn maze, Go Kart train rides, an 8-car train and, of course, all kinds of pumpkins, Indian corn and ghoulish gourds. It has more than 100 tons of pumpkins of all sizes, from miniatures to the big guys. In addition, the farm sells corn stalks and straw bales for your decorating needs.

On weekends, food stands offer drinks, corn dogs, barbecue foods, pies, ciders and other goodies.

Birthday parties, field trips and special events are encouraged.

Discount packages are available.

The Pumpkin Farm is at 7736 Old Auburn Road.

Davis Ranch: Not far from the Arden area off the Jackson Highway is the trusty Davis Ranch at Sloughhouse and Dillard Road, where year-round shoppers can take home the best and freshest of what area farmers have to offer.

Come fall, that means lots and lots of pumpkins of all shapes, sizes and varieties. The ranch offers its own homegrown pumpkins, corn and a variety of fruits and vegetables while also selling the full harvest of many local farms. If you’re looking for piles of pumpkins and a befuddling corn maze, this is your place.

Meanwhile, a cornucopia of fresh and organic fruits, vegetables, spices and flowers will delight the harvest shopper. Kiddos will be treated to sights and sounds of fall. And picnics are welcome along a row of tables aside the rows and rows of pumpkins.

Davis Ranch is at 13501 Jackson Road.

Cool Patch Pumpkins: Head a little out of town to Dixon where more than 50 varieties of pumpkins await the pumpkin lover. From heirloom and carving pumpkins to itty-bitty miniatures, there’s sure to be something for your harvest porch.

If pumpkins don’t do the trick, try to find your way out of a 62acre maze. If you’re a little leary of getting lost in such a mass of corn, not to worry! Corn maze escorts ARDEN page 17

Another reason to have the right estate plan: The incredible cost of long-term care...

• Two out of three seniors will exhaust their savings within a year of entering a skilled nursing home.

• You didn’t save your whole life to have that happen.

• With the right long-term care planning, you can cover the cost and leave a legacy.

• The best time to start planning is often before crisis hits.

There's also a smaller grass maze for children and a corn-bath quick sand pit. The farm is open daily in October. It is at 6585 Milk Farm Road in Dixon.

TO SYNC OR TO SWIM They stretch on their caps, pushing golden locks and long ponies tightly inside. They pinch nose clips into place and snap on their goggles just so. Then it’s time to drop the terry towel and take a big dive into the deep end of the pool.

This is the routine four days a week for the Aqua Squirts and Aqua Belles—water babies through and through who thrive in deep water, never touching bottom, dancing, twirling, spinning, kicking and pirouetting in suspended liquid silence.

Their goal? To delight crowds as they swim in sync with one another in

a fantastically choreographed display of underwater ballet.

Thanks to the efforts of hundreds of swimmers, their families and dedicated coaches over the years, the Sacramento Synchronized Swim Team is celebrating 30 years by moving its home practice pool to Arden Hills Country Club. The team will be practicing and offering clinics throughout the year, rain or shine, from the club’s heated pool as it prepares for national competitions held throughout the country.

Competition season begins in January. Nothing like four months of practice to make things perfect.

The nonprofit club was founded in 1986 with 14 members. Over the years nationally ranked swimmers have stepped up to coach, making Sacramento’s team highly competitive. As many as 45 swimmers are on the team, ranging from age 5 to 18.

The club offers a variety of clinics for beginning, intermediate and advanced swimmers. No experience is necessary. However, to begin swimmers need to be able to swim 20 feet of any stroke in deep water.

As the season gets underway, coaches may offer some more advanced swimmers an opportunity to swim an additional trio, duet or solo routine with the commitment of an additional Saturday morning practice.

Because of the additional coaching and pool time, the dues for swimmers who accept this opportunity will increase. Costumes for the additional routines can be borrowed from the team’s large selection of swimsuits, or can be purchased by the families at their own cost.

Swimmers will need their own personal equipment of two nose clips, goggles, cap and large towel for every practice. Flippers are helpful, but not required. Volunteer hours from

OUT McKinley Village art

Local artist Marc Foster created a sculpture entitled “La Feuille” (the leaf) to greet residents and visitiors as they enter McKinley Village in East Sacramento.

The sculpture is two leaf-shaped structures made of honed stainless steel standing approximately 18 and 15 feet tall, with corten steel branches extending above and beneath the ground in either direction. According to Foster, the artwork pays “homage to trees and, more specifically, leaves.” McKinley Village is shaped like a giant leaf and current plans call for the planting of more than 1,800 trees in the neighborhood.

Mayoral Rivals Begin 2017 Run DANIELLE GOURLEY AND KATIE PEXA: MAY THE BIGGEST FUNDRAISER WIN

nter the candidates for Carmichael’s 2017 honorary mayoralty. The ruthless campaign (money buys all votes) is a Carmichael Chamber of Commerce fundraiser. Continuing the community’s recent tradition of female mayors, two businesswomen are contesting the office.

Michigan-raised Danielle Gourley is mom to a 2-year-old son. She began her career as a caregiver and now directs All For You Home Care, a senior assistance agency. Off the clock, the 30-year-old runs “Socks for Seniors,” a nonprofit that teams with Meals on Wheels. Their efforts last year gathered 1,800 pairs of new socks for elderly Sacramento feet.

As mayor, Gourley projects a year of Carmichael promotion. “I shop Carmichael, I dine Carmichael and I take my son to Carmichael events,” she says. “I’ve started a Facebook program to feature businesses and things for people to do here.” She also promises support for the homeless and monthly Carmichael street cleanups.

Katie Pexa, 54, owns a Farmers Insurance agency. Mother of an adopted son, the Sacramentoraised professional supports the Sierra Forever Families nonprofit, volunteering to help parents through adoption processes. She is also an

Her mayoral vision includes bringing more businesses to Carmichael while protecting community. “Together we can achieve more,” Pexa says.

Hoping to establish an annual event to unite merchants and residents, she plans an Octoberfest fundraiser at the Milagro Centre.

Protecting Carmichael’s parks and addressing Carmichael’s homeless situation rank high among her civic priorities.

Because Gourley and Pexa are chums, the public won’t endure have to nasty politics. “It’s not that kind of campaign,” says Gourley. “We are business people helping other businesses people. Whoever wins, the whole community will benefit from our efforts.”

The honorary mayoralty includes neither salary nor power. The winner can expect a year of hand-shaking, ribbon-cutting and baby-kissing.

“I’m already in the business of meeting people,” confirms Pexa. “I look forward to meeting many more.”

Both candidates are committed to separate Alzheimer's-related charities; these will receive a portion of the funds raised by each campaign.

Gourley’s first fundraiser was a “Bowl of Heaven” ice cream social at the Carmichael Elks Lodge. On Oct. 20, she offers a $30-per-head dinner at El Papagayo restaurant, 5804 Marconi Ave. Pexa will host a Sept. 30 “Wine, Women and Music” fundraiser at the Downtown & Vine restaurant, 1200 K St., from 6 to 9 p.m. Her Octoberfest

POPS GO THE ZOMBIES

Undersheriff Erik Maness (center) and Chief Deputy Phil Brelje and Sgt. John Martinez share burger-flipping duties during a “Unity in the Community” picnic at Howe Park

Capitol Pops musicians will present sweet and creepy music for an Oct. 21 Halloween/ Octoberfest celebration

Undersheriff Erik Maness took a turn at burger-flipping at his department’s recent “Unity in the Community” picnic.

Maness, 46, worked for McDonald’s on Florin Road before his policing career. While studying at Luther Burbank High, his after-school job included cooking and serving at the franchise. By 20 years old, he was store manager.

“The job was invaluable for my law career,” he says. “McDonald’s taught me customer service and leadership. Law enforcement is all about serving community.” A private

passion, Maness confides, is to start a restaurant in his retirement.

As well as free burger lunches, the Howe park picnic offered face-painting and bounce houses.

Highlights included a helicopter landing and canine displays. Paddedout deputies demonstrated how German shepherds leap to action on command. Visitors observed the toothy law-keepers were pussycats when off duty.

SWAT teams were among units who shared off-duty time with the public. More than 300 guests enjoyed this outreach.

A “Brews and Boos” festival will roll out the barrel at Citrus Heights Community Center on Friday, Oct. 21. The celebration combines Octoberfest and Halloween traditions as an annual fundraiser for the Capitol Pops Concert Band.

Dressed to the creepy nines, the allvolunteer band will render Teutonic and terrifying tunes. Selections will include “Phantom of the Opera” and hell-for-lederhosen polkas.

Highlight for scores of children and parents is the mass zombie routine to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”

Mini-ghouls are students of the Creative Connections Arts Academy (North Highlands) and Harry Dewey Elementary School (Fair Oaks).

Vocal interludes will be performed by the Capitolaires Men’s Chorus.

Sustenance in the form of hot German food and desserts will be available for purchase. Silent auctions and raffles augment fundraising. Beer and wine sales benefit Citrus Heights Kiwanis.

Anyone may attend the free festival. Band downbeat is 6:30 p.m.

Citrus Heights Community Center is at 6300 Fountain Square Drive.

said his wife, Isabel, 89, “Ike is dancing in heaven.”

For 34 years, he and his favorite partner were familiar faces at Sacramento musical events. “People called us the dancing people,” says Isobel. “We were always first on the floor. When Ike didn’t feel like waking from his nap, I reminded him we had a concert to go to. That got him up and shaving. The minute the music started, he wanted to be moving.”

The couple met at a VFW social.

“Ike asked to see me the next day,” recalls his partner. “I said no, I was going to church. He offered to drive me. After eight months of taking me to Mass, he drove to a jewelry store and told me to pick a ring.”

Their love for music sealed the deal. For more than three decades, usually in matching outfits, the Foothill Farms couple were senior stars. Isabel dazzled in south-of-the-

border style; Ike was a debonair foil to his senora.

“Dancing kept us young,” considered his bride.

Born in Arizona in 1912, Isaac Ortiz lost his coal miner father before grade school. He worked to support his family from the age of 6 and, after his mother’s death, moved to California. Construction work kept him busy until he volunteered for the Navy before World War II. Serving in the Pacific, his job was to flag fighter planes on aircraft carriers; he also worked below decks as a cook. When peace came, he began a long civilian career in hydraulic engineering and eventually retired from at McClellan Air Force Base.

Ike attributed his resilient health to “a good wife who never lets me sit still.”

Lucy Eidam Crocker SHE WEAVES DREAMS FOR SACRAMENTO

W

hen it comes to connecting with the public, no one does it better than Lucy Eidam Crocker. The co-owner with her husband, Scot, of public relations firm Crocker & Crocker has, in her own words, “always been a PR person.”

Whether she’s using her connections and PR prowess for paying clients or for nonprofits to whom she donates her services—like WEAVE, the Sacramento Walk of Stars and various water groups—you know Eidam Crocker will get the word out.

“I wasn’t originally looking to start my own business,” says Eidam Crocker. “I was working in water at another PR firm and was looking for a new challenge. When Scot (only a friend at the time, when he was running the Crocker/Flanagan ad agency) recommended I start a consulting firm and offered to rent me an office at the agency, I took him up on it and voila! Here we are, 22 years later.”

In those ensuing two decades, Eidam Crocker not only founded her own PR firm, LucyCo Communications, she also married Scot in 2010 and joined business forces with him the next year under the name Crocker & Crocker.

“We complement each other,” Eidam Crocker says. “He does branding, marketing and ads and I do public relations and outreach. Our skills work together perfectly.”

Gov. Pete Wilson declared the last drought over. Since then, it’s been a fascinating ride. There’s nothing like a drought to make the general public pay attention to water.”

“We’ve seen benefits not only to the bottom line but also for serving victims.”

Lucy Eidam Crocker. Photo courtesy of Tia Gemmell.

Eidam Crocker’s expertise has benefited a slew of organizations over the years, including countless water agencies for which she’s created statewide messaging and developed logos—often pro bono.

“Water is really my passion area,” she says. “It’s essential to our daily lives, and it’s never-ending what you can learn and apply in the line of work that I do. I started working in water five months before former

Considering Sacramento has been struggling with drought in recent years, Eidam Crocker’s skills have come in quite handy.

“I help customers understand the importance of water,” she says. “I’m not always carrying the most popular message forward for my clients, but I think it’s so important.”

An equally important endeavor that Eidam Crocker has been focusing on lately has been helping WEAVE, Inc.—the primary provider of crisis intervention services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Sacramento County—expand its retail operation.

“I started working with WEAVE about two and a half years ago,” says Eidam Crocker, who helped the organization develop a retail advisory committee to identify the best way to expand its stores. WEAVEWorks Recycled Fashion on Arden Way and the WEAVE to Work program, which provides free professional clothing to people seeking to regain their independence through employment, were already popular. But Eidam

Crocker thought that Sacramento was ripe for even more purchasing potential.

“WEAVE has a very strong brand, and I really believe in their mission,” Eidam Crocker says. “They also have a very strong staff and retail operations manager, so we knew that another retail store could be very successful. We tested different concepts for the name, location, decor and signage with our target demographic as well as with the people who would be donating to the store and it was very well received.”

The result of that research is TRUE (Totally Recycled Urban Exchange), a Midtown boutique that opened last year. There, you can buy, sell and trade fashion to help fund programs and services for survivors.

“We’ve seen benefits not only to the bottom line but also for serving victims,” Eidam Crocker explains.

“Victims can go anonymously into the store and find clothing to wear day to day—sometimes they leave their homes with nothing—or clothes to wear to work or a job interview.”

Or perhaps an outfit to wear to visit the Sacramento Walk of Stars, another Eidam Crocker project that’s taken shape this year. After visiting the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame for the first time, she and her friends got to brainstorming over dinner what well-known Sacramentans they could picture honoring with a star just like those along Hollywood Boulevard.

“The people we came up with are not all actors and directors. We have our own types of important people,” Eidam Crocker says. “We have scientists, doctors, news people, artists, entertainers and sports

figures. Apparently, a lot of people have thought about doing something like this over the years. The city said it had been approached five or six times. But it’s never gotten off the ground.”

There is no better place for the change of seasons than The Greater Sacramento Area. Crisp air, the beauty of the changing leaves and an active real estate market make our hometown come alive with vibrant color and “buzz”.

If buying or selling a home is on your mind, let us open just the right doors for you! We look forward to hearing from you to develop a game plan.

Eidam Crocker’s expertise has benefited a slew of organizations over the years.

Leave it to Crocker & Crocker (with the help of the Sacramento Convention and Visitors Bureau and “a wonderful committee”) to bring the idea to fruition. The inaugural Sacramento Walk of Stars launched on Aug. 31 and included local luminaries Debbie Meyer, Gregory Kondos, LeVar Burton, Dr. Ernie Bodai and Timothy B. Schmit.

The plan is to place stars in a new location each year—switching back and forth between Midtown and downtown—until finally connecting into one impressive firmament. With the power of lifelong PR powerhouse Eidam Crocker behind it, we say the sky’s the limit.

A New Stage ARDEN ARCADE SET TO GET A PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

A

ll the world’s a stage for Tim Cahill and Leo McElroy. The two Arden Arcade residents are playwrights whose works have been produced locally and across the country. They’re banding together with Mike Grace, executive director of the Fulton-El Camino Recreation & Park District, to bring entertainment to their neighborhood.

“We’ve talked about needing an adult center in the area for years,” says Cahill, an attorney and president of CC Bell Properties. “We were looking at the auditorium at Howe Park and suddenly went, ‘Wait a minute.’ The space has a stage, a proscenium arch, a full kitchen, accessible restrooms, a patio. Why build a building that would take years and millions of dollars to complete when we already have a facility here that we can leverage?”

Eager to secure the space, which looked perfect to host everything from plays to cultural festivals as well as weddings and bingo nights, Cahill and McElroy talked to Grace about turning the facility into the Howe Avenue Performing Arts Center. The answer was a resounding “yes.”

“The district had budgeted for a few improvements, like replacing the stage floor and painting, but there was no sound or lighting system to speak of,” Cahill says.

by Grace’s crew for a minimal investment.

“Businesses in the area have contributed, which is a wonderful show of support,” Cahill says. “We want to do this well and do it once, so we’re trying to raise enough money for the lighting system, which is the big-ticket item.”

And, arguably, the most crucial.

“Why build a building that would take years and millions of dollars to complete when we already have a facility here that we can leverage?”

Leo McElroy and Tim Cahill

Luckily for the district, Cahill and McElroy are pros with more than a few connections. Cahill’s son-in-law, Scott, is an award-winning sound engineer who’s worked with bands

like Cake. He assessed what it would take to make the auditorium sound.

The panels Scott recommended can be built by park staff, and any other small changes can be completed

“The district has given us excellent terms to use the space that eliminate the financial risk to people who want to rent it,” says McElroy, a retired news anchor and journalist for ABC, NBC and PBS. You can book the space for a $5 cut on each ticket sold in a house that can easily seat 200.

“We’ve just got to get the bloody theater lit!”

Once the building is updated, Cahill and McElroy picture an array of happenings taking place within the center.

“Sacramento is swarming with playwrights,” McElroy says. (He’s had NEIGHBOR page 32

Ambitious politicians, greedy developers, and unaccountable bureaucrats are trying to pick our pockets again! They don’t care that increasing sales taxes unfairly hurts poor people, seniors, hard-working families trying to make ends meet and small business people struggling to keep their doors opens.

The existing 1/2 percent transportation tax - Measure A - already provides a gusher of more than $110 million each year to fund Regional Transit, maintain our local streets and build new transit and road projects. Enough is enough!

Please take a few minutes to read why thousands of our neighbors are joining together to defeat Measure B and its plan to double our transportation sales tax rate.

“There’s a tremendous amount of theater being done in town,” Cahill concurs, “but none of it is done out here because there are no theaters.

We have such diverse demographics in any direction—even just in the schools, like Encina, Country Day and Aspire. So why can’t we offer theater, education and cultural events out here?”

“There’s also a huge market for youth theater,” McElroy adds.

And the senior centers nearby all but guarantee attendance for adult events.

“Theater audiences are known for being overwhelmingly gray,” says McElroy. “So it seems like a nobrainer.”

With an “optimistic” (Cahill’s word) completion month of November, the project promises the possibility of a renewed connection to the arts in the community that both men have grown to love.

“Our town is such a Venn diagram of people and connections,” Cahill says. “There are so many different talents in the community, which means there’s so much to be done at a venue like the Howe Avenue Performing Arts Center. The key is to offer people something of quality. The real trick is to keep a place like Arden Arcade vibrant, and an important part of that is the arts.”

Securing the Arena SACRAMENTO POLICE WILL OVERSEE SAFETY AT GOLDEN 1 CENTER

B

ack when I earned my living as a sportswriter and spent nine months each year chasing the Kings around America from one disaster to another, October was the best of times. October meant training camp and a fresh, clean start. It meant new players and, more often than not, new coaches, all with stories to tell.

For most NBA teams, training camp is a dreary business, the worst month of the season. Many rosters are 90 percent finalized before the first ankle is wrapped in October. New guys battle for one or two unclaimed backup positions, while veterans approach the mandatory exertions of training camp with the enthusiasm of a tax audit. The average NBA player would rather skip camp entirely and arrive ready for action 24 hours before the regular season begins.

Not so the Kings. For the Sacramento side, there’s no better adventure than training camp. The losses and injuries haven’t piled up.

There is no discord among players and staff. The owner hasn’t begun to proffer advice on how the center can create more scoring opportunities by mastering the sky hook.

In camp, the Kings win every scrimmage because they play against themselves. The practice games are fun and meaningless. Everyone is

Golden 1 Center is the new home of the Sacramento Kings

loose and happy. The bad times will begin soon enough.

This year, the Kings have more reason than ever to celebrate training camp. They are preparing to open a new arena brimming with every modern luxury. The team has a new coach and several new faces.

As usual, there’s no reason to believe any of this will amount to much, at least from a competitive standpoint. ESPN predicts the Kings will win 30 games, three worse than last season. Bloggers are already projecting another dissolute campaign for DeMarcus Cousins, who objected to the team’s center-heavy draft strategy.

But there is a good story brewing on the periphery, where many good Kings stories reside. This year, there will be a significant squad of newcomers keeping watch over the Kings and their fans and their new arena: the Sacramento police department, which has been unseen around the team and its old arena since the turn of the century.

The former Arco Arena sat just inside the Sacramento city limits in North Natomas, making it part of the Sacramento police department’s beat. But in a jurisdictional insult, cops have been unwelcome there.

The law enforcement duties at games and events were parceled out to Sacramento County sheriff’s deputies.

This is a touchy subject among cops—nobody likes a poacher. How it came to happen tells much about the Kings and their history. Our story begins with the Maloof family, former Kings owners who guided the team to the Western Conference finals, then ruined everything by trying to move the club.

The Maloofs were friendly with Lou Blanas, the former Sacramento County sheriff. When Blanas was in office, he thoroughly disliked his city of Sacramento counterpart, Police Chief Art Venegas. When Blanas heard Sac PD was having difficulty securing enough officers to work overtime jobs at Arco Arena, he sold the Maloofs on a better idea: Let the

sheriff take over arena duties, and save money in the process.

“We are very confident going in, and we’ll only get better once the building opens.”

Blanas agreed to open the arena to all of his agency’s sworn personnel, not on an overtime basis but as a side job. This meant command staff could work the arena alongside patrol officers. And it meant the Maloofs paid a cheaper hourly rate for security, far below Sac PD’s overtime invoice.

Thanks to Blanas’ slick maneuver, Venegas and the Sacramento police department were locked out of a big, high profile beat in their own city.

These days, arena security is very serious business. When the city of Sacramento partnered with the Kings

to build Golden 1 Center downtown, a top priority was to put the new building under the watchful eyes of Sacramento cops, not Sacramento County sheriff’s deputies.

Sacramento cops will monitor security cameras with arena staff, direct traffic outside and protect spectators and participants inside the building. Two officers, Deputy Chief Ken Bernard and Sgt. Michele Gigante, have even moved into offices at City Hall. They work full time on arena operations and security plans, studying other cities and training SPD personnel.

“We are very confident going in, and we’ll only get better once the building opens,” Bernard says.

The resurrected presence of Sac PD’s blue uniforms won’t make the Kings play any better than the sheriff’s dress greens did. The NBA playoffs will remain a distant dream.

But with safety as a primary concern, the community will be in good hands from training camp to the final defeat.

Sacramento’s Pride THE GARDENS SURROUNDING THE STATE CAPITOL ARE SIMPLY CAPITAL

D

reams of making Sacramento the envy of the world aren’t unique to the 21st century. In 1863, Gov. Leland Stanford envisioned surrounding the new State Capitol with “grounds … with a beauty and luxuriousness that no other capitol can boast.” Stanford’s vision of a Victorian garden park that would bring glory and pleasure to residents of the city and state became reality.

Capitol Park’s lush lawns were studded with trees from around the world, masses of colorful flowers and a carriageway lined with palm and elm trees. It’s still a glorious spot, even after years of drought and water conservation measures. Last year, the grass turned brown and many worried that the park’s historic trees and other beautiful plants would be lost.

Fortunately, the state’s Department of General Services is committed to preserving them while demonstrating that it’s also possible to save water.

DGS calls Capitol Park “one of our state’s most iconic public green spaces” and “the oldest arboretum west of the Mississippi.” Originally, the Capitol was built on a mound on 4 acres of land donated by the city. It soon overlooked the Great Flood of 1861-1862, which was so disastrous that Sacramento leaders canceled Christmas, the legislature fled to San Francisco and Gov. Stanford was

rowed in a boat to his inauguration at the Capitol. Sacramentans got to work and raised the city streets, and the Capitol followed suit. Piles of rich river soil were brought to fill the grounds to their present level, 126 wagonloads a day.

Victorians were interested in collecting and learning about plants from around the world, and the Capitol groundskeepers were not to be outdone. The park now boasts 235 different species of trees, more than 1,000 trees in all, many a century or more old. Modern visitors walk in awe under their canopy, admiring

their size, enjoying their beauty and relaxing in their shade. Some of the California fan palms still mark the route where horses pulled carriages through the grounds. Fourteen trees

have grown to be “champion trees,” the biggest of their species in the state, nation or even the world. All GARDEN page 41

Terry Cook of the California State Capitol Museum says that it took two years to get everybody’s approval for the signs, but the effort was worth it.

Plants throughout the park serve as living memorial, including the Civil War Memorial Grove, established in 1897 with trees from Civil War historic sites. A turkey oak, an American elm and a tulip tree survive.

There is the Pioneer Camellia Grove and the World Peace Rose Garden, created as a sanctuary of peace, love and inspiration.

Cook’s love of this urban oasis is apparent when you walk through the grounds with her. “Here in the middle of the city, we have 12 city blocks, 40 acres of beauty, with trees cleaning up the air for us,” she enthuses. The museum staff has recently developed two guides, one for the Capitol Park monuments and memorials and another devoted to the trees, which they will post on their website and update as things change.

The grass in Capitol Park is green once again, but water is still being saved. The 13 DGS parks maintenance staffers are implementing many water conservation practices while ensuring that areas that overlay tree roots are irrigated. Some of the thirsty turf is being replaced, either by pervious pavers, water-saving grass varietals

If it’s or a drought-tolerant demonstration garden.

When you visit the park, you never know what you will discover around the corner. It might be the cactus garden with alien shapes and brilliant flowers. You may feel that you are in the British Isles when you walk between two rows of Irish yews wired into formal pillars. You will definitely know you are in California by the rows of palm and Seville orange trees that enclose the park. Many of the trees burst into brilliant fall color. Cook especially recommends seeing the champion Chinese pistache tree, with its burgundy leaves splashed with crimson and orange. Above and in the center of it all is the stunning white Capitol itself.

Capitol Park holds fond memories for me because it was one of the first places I went on a date with my future husband, many years ago.

After strolling for a while, we sat on the grass and kissed. We were falling in love with one another and with Sacramento. Thank you, Gov. Stanford.

Positive Speaking IT’S BETTER TO ASSUME SUCCESS THAN FAILURE

T

he Bible describes rebellious people as “stiff-necked.” I don’t know how rebellious I am, but doctors occasionally put me in the stiff-necked category.

My first experience with stiff-neck pain was in my college sophomore year, shortly after I’d spent three hours debating theology with a new friend.

The problem wasn’t my theological position; the problem was my physical position: stretched out on my side, with my head propped up by my palm.

The pain came on subtly, finally incapacitating me during a visit with my West Texas cousins.

When I asked for a doctor, my equestrian cousins recommended their chiropractor.

I grimaced. “How much will he cost?”

“He works for donations.”

“Donations?”

“Yup. I reckon you should also know that when he lost his eyesight a few years back, Texas revoked his license.”

I gave a reluctant nod, and my cousins loaded me, ambulance-style, into a station wagon. Thirty minutes

later, I lay face down and shirtless on the doctor’s living room adjustment table.

The man placed his fingertips on each quadrant of my back, pondering my pain with a touch much like a wandering kitten. Finally, he started

Eight years ago, I was referred to a local chiropractor for preventive management. I was greeted by his attractive staff and spent my hourlong wait staring at his fish aquarium.

After he took X-rays, he announced his prognosis with the tone of

his procedure, pushing, pulling, stretching and thumping on the areas that needed healing.

Afterward, I limped toward the “donation” box and placed a twenty inside. I knew something was better because I was upright and ambulatory again.

“You will be much better by tomorrow,” he promised. Twenty-four hours later, I sat in class as if my injury had never happened.

Nowadays, I still have sporadic problems, but thanks to the blind chiropractor, I’ve been able to trust my issues to other chiropractors— with one exception.

someone talking to a terminal patient.

He told me I was falling apart, but if I’d consent to immediate treatment, he could reverse my early demise.

The entire process would take the better part of a year, and much like the arrangement with my daughter’s orthodontist, I could pay in monthly installments with a small financing fee.

The difference between this chiropractor and the blind chiropractor is a case study in the different ways we often express concern for those we love.

My first doctor did something my charismatic friends describe as “speaking healing into my life.” He told me I would get better and I did. On the other hand, the second doctor spoke pessimism, gloom and hopelessness into my life.

Unfortunately, it’s too easy to act in the same manner as the 90-dayssame-as-cash doctor.

It’s tempting to speak to people in at know-it-all tone that will discourage friends and family trying to accomplish their dreams.

It’s much harder to speak success into the lives of people. It’s much harder to speak healing into a life by saying, “You can do this.

You can succeed and flourish.”

I consider myself fortunate to have friends who told me I could and I did. Not long after the discouraging rant from that second doctor, I ran several half marathons and two full marathons.

Fortunately, I also found a new doctor. He’s much like the first one. He’s a man of faith who, in turn, expresses that faith toward his patients. And that, my friend, will always be the best healing prescription for this stubborn and sometimes stiff-necked chaplain.

From Ew to Pure WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WATER AFTER YOU FLUSH

E

very time you flush, that stuff has to go somewhere.

Wastewater from 1.4 million people in the Sacramento region ends up in the Sacramento River by way of the Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (Regional San) wastewater treatment plant in Elk Grove. At the plant, people like engineer Ruben Robles oversee the transformation of liquid yuck into water that by some measures is cleaner than the river into which it’s discharged.

Robles is director of operations at Regional San. He emphasized to me how fortunate we are to live in a place with the money and organization to protect our health and environment from raw sewage.

“We do an exceptional job with wastewater treatment in the U.S.,” Robles says. He ought to know. He’s visited wastewater treatment facilities around the world, even opting for the Paris sewer tour on vacation while his wife visited the Louvre.

(That’s dedication!) Robles guided me through the processes at the plant.

First, heavier material like sand and grit is physically separated from the wastewater. Then the wastewater enters primary treatment, where solids and lighter materials (like oils and fats) are removed. During this step, wastewater is pumped into very large tanks, where it moves

slowly. Fats float to the surface and are skimmed off. The solids sink and are collected and removed at the bottom. The remaining cleaner water moves on to secondary treatment.

Secondary treatment is a biological process that harnesses the extraordinary metabolic powers of microorganisms. In this phase, wastewater is mixed with an activated sludge of bacteria, protozoa and tiny animals called rotifers. In a microscopic example of the saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” these diverse microbes feast on organic molecules in the sewage, breaking them down. The microbes and organic matter settle out and are removed, purifying the water.

While microbes are tackling the organic waste, humans at the plant are working to keep the microbes

happy. That primarily means keeping them flooded with oxygen, as the biochemical reactions they perform are aerobic. Regional San produces pure oxygen on site by fractionation of air. Air is compressed and cooled until it turns into a liquid. The different components of air have different boiling points, so as the liquid air warms up, oxygen can be separated from the other gases. Pure oxygen is then bubbled through the wastewater with the activated sludge to feed the microbes.

When the system is healthy, activated sludge microorganisms form interdependent food chains and food webs. Scientists in Regional San’s on-site laboratory keep a close eye on the activated sludge population, measuring the number and types of organisms every day. Sometimes the ecosystem in a treatment plant goes

out of whack and the wrong kinds of bacteria take over. During my tour of the lab, Dr. Srivi Ramamoorthy, the laboratory manager, said fixing it is “like baking bread.” I laughed.

How in the world is sewage treatment like baking bread? “You know what sourdough starter is?” she asked.

“We use something similar.” Extracts of old, healthy sludge can restore the desired microbial community to the tanks at a plant. Wastewater treatment plants even exchange this “starter kit” with one another if needed.

After secondary treatment by microbes, chlorine is added to the wastewater to kill disease-causing bacteria and viruses. Then the chlorine is neutralized, and the now-clean water is discharged into the Sacramento River via a 10-footdiameter “diffuser” pipe that lies

Rare, Vintage & Contemporary Finds Since 1997 across the bottom of the river. The entire process at the plant takes about eight hours.

Solids removed during primary processing do not go to the river.

About 75 tons of solids are produced every day at the plant. After being separated from the wastewater, solids are sent to huge, 45-feet-deep enclosed biological reactor tanks where, once again, microorganisms are responsible for the chemical breakdown of the waste. The kinds of bacteria involved and the reactions they perform are different from the activated sludge used during secondary treatment of the water. For solids, anaerobic digestion is the rule.

In the absence of oxygen, bacteria break down the organic molecules in the waste. One byproduct of this anaerobic digestion is methane gas.

This valuable component of natural gas is collected and burned to produce electricity at an on-site cogeneration plant operated by SMUD. After about 15 days in the anaerobic digesters, the sludge has been transformed into “biosolids,” which are pumped to storage basins,

basically giant ponds covered with a layer of water for odor control, where the solids will remain for as long as five years. At that time, the biosolids are high in nitrogen and also contain some salts and metals.

About three-quarters of this material is permanently disposed of on-site on land lined to protect the water table below. The remaining one-quarter is recycled into pellets for use primarily as an agricultural fertilizer. Federal regulations set standards for the proper application of this fertilizer to prevent the buildup of too much salt and metal in the soil.

Wastewater processing in Sacramento is already very good, but it’s about to get even better. To comply with new state requirements, Regional San is adding tertiary processing. Read about this EchoWater project next month.

We’re Exceptional EXCEPTIONALLY BAD, THAT IS, WHEN IT COMES TO TRAFFIC SAFETY

T

here’s been a long-running debate about American exceptionalism. It’s a point of pride for some to say that the United States is exceptional, often meant in the sense that our country is superior to any other nation.

In my view, this argument is pointless. Nonetheless, it’s hard to ignore the fact that the United States is exceptional in a key aspect of transportation. The United States has an exceptionally bad record of traffic safety. Our safety record is the worst among high-income countries—and by a lot. The U.S. crash death rate (deaths per 100,000 population) is more than double the average rate of the other high-income countries.

Until last year, the U.S. traffic safety record had been improving, though at a significantly lower rate than that of the other high-income countries. There were fits and starts, but annual U.S. traffic fatalities declined gradually from more than 50,000 per year in the 1960s to about 33,000 a year—still a horrific number.

Disturbingly, the downward trend reversed in 2015 when fatalities increased to 35,000. The fatality numbers jumped again in the first half of 2016 to an annual rate of 38,000.

On average, more than 100 people a day die in traffic crashes. Another 12,000 a day are injured. Those aren’t numbers to make Americans proud.

Without a doubt, you have a coworker, friend, neighbor or family member who has been hurt in a crash.

My nephew’s wife and infant daughter died in a crash. A high school friend was killed in his car. My niece can’t work because of the spinal injuries she sustained after being rear-ended. My neighbor, victim of a hit and run, is using a cane. I had ribs broken when a car hit me as I was bicycling home on East Sacramento’s M Street.

Deaths and life-changing injuries are heart wrenching, unjust and economically wasteful all at the same time. It’s shameful that our country has tolerated this painful and preventable situation for so long.

The basic human need to get around should not require risking your life.

Our neighborhoods and communities should be safe havens, places where

the young and old, and everyone in between, can travel without fear.

The Centers for Disease Control says the United States can do a better job on traffic safety. We can endeavor to replicate the successes of the other high-income countries. Spain cut its traffic fatalities by 75 percent from the year 2000 to 2013. By comparison, the U.S. reduction over the same period was 31 percent. If the jump in fatalities over the past two years is considered, the U.S. reduction has been a paltry 10 percent.

The causes for the recent surge in U.S. fatalities are unknown. Likely major factors are that people are working and driving more after the end of the recession. The big drop in gas prices encourages car trips. Some have even blamed global warming, which has resulted in milder winters

with better driving conditions. It’s hard not to suspect that increased cellphone use and other tech-related forms of distracted driving are playing a role.

The CDC offers recommendations on ways to reduce crash deaths and injuries: • Allow primary enforcement of seat belt laws that cover everyone in every seat. Let police officers stop a vehicle and write a ticket for anyone not buckled up.

• Improve vehicle safety and transportation infrastructure.

• Increase use of publicized sobriety checkpoints.

• Enforce the minimum legal drinking age.

I’ve got my own list of recommendations, some of which are also on the CDC list.

Speed is a factor in about three out 10 fatal crashes. We can improve traffic enforcement with automated speed cameras and more traffic officers. We can lower neighborhood and urban speed limits. We can add speed governors to trucks and cars.

Drunk driving causes about a third of traffic fatalities. We can lower the allowable blood alcohol content from .08 to .05. We can require ignition interlock devices on the cars of those convicted of DUI. Distracted driving causes most of the other fatal crashes. Drivers should not be allowed to use cellphones, handheld or hands free, in moving vehicles. Police should step up enforcement and routinely check on cellphone use in crash investigations.

We can demand a justice system that holds drivers accountable, especially when vulnerable pedestrians and bicyclists are crash victims.

Taking these steps would save many thousands of lives and prevent millions of injuries. Most changes would actually be relatively easy to implement.

The hard part is changing our culture of indifference. The public has to demand that decision makers craft policies and laws that create a new culture. We need to replace cultural acceptance of speeding and distracted driving with cultural stigma. We’ve done that for drunk driving, though there’s still more to do America should be exceptional for safety. We should be safe not just from crime and terror, which everyone talks about, but from traffic danger as well, which almost no one seems to worry about. Tremendous resources have been devoted to the fight against terrorism. Since Sept. 11, 2001, 3,130 Americans have been killed in terror attacks. In that same period, 565,000 American have died and more than 37,000,000 seriously injured in traffic crashes.

Amazing Apple Hill A FAMILY TRADITION SKIPS MERRILY ALONG DESPITE AN INAUSPICIOUS BEGINNING

I

t is well-documented in this column that I love fall. I’m all in like a kid jumping into a leaf pile.

So how amazing was it when I realized the Disneyland of fall was only 45 minutes up the hill from my Sacramento home? We’re talking ’re hot-apple-donuts amazing. We’re talking 15-kinds-of-apple-pie amazing.

We’re talking cornmazes, pumpkin-patches, apple-picking, cidersipping, caramel-apple and apple-strudel-munching, on-a-picket-fence-farm, overlooking-kaleidoscopetreetops amazing!

Apple Hill, you are the corn in my cornucopia.

Funny story, though.

Shortly after Trey and I got married we decided to visit Camino to see what this Apple Hill thing was about.

We thought it was a single g destination, not understanding the concept of meandering through the rolling oak and pine hillsides to discover the fall bounty delights of more than 50 farms, ranches, bake shops, wineries, and more (Christmas tree farms!).

Not finding much to write home about, we turned back before we got the heart of Apple Hill, unaware of

maps at nearly every stop to guide our adventure. (This was the Dark Ages of pre-internet/Google.) “I don’t get all the hype about this place,” we miffed, never giving it another thought.

Until we had kids. That’s when my

Whipping out an Apple Hill guide map she kept as handy as an apple slicer, she plotted our fall adventure like a native New Yorker showing off her beloved city.

Experiencing Apple Hill with a seasoned guide

friend, Michelle, suggested we take our playgroup up to Apple Hill. “Trey and I’ve been there once. Wasn’t impressed,” I said.

You would’ve thought I’d slapped Michelle with a corn husk. “You didn’t like Apple Hill?” she said, horrified like I was not giving out candy on Halloween. She quickly discerned that Trey and I took a lame pass at it and vowed to make me fall in love (I even love fall puns!) with the place that makes all things apple make you want to swear off all other fruit.

for a fall fanatic like me? Having a dozen kindergarteners think they just got dropped into Ground Zero of Where Does Halloween Come From?

Best. Day. Ever.

We feasted on hot apple donuts, ran through the hay maze, and posed at a “How Tall This Fall?” cutout at Abel’s Apple Acres. While the kids made candles, parents bought frozen apple pies and cider for Thanksgiving and stocked up on apple butter for Christmas presents.

We stopped at El Dorado Orchards for a postcard-perfect kiddie train ride. We saw and sampled how apple

cider was made a Bolster’s Hilltop Ranch before frolicking through their orchards to pick apples. At Apple Ridge Farms we picked pumpkins from a pumpkin patch, had some tasty barbecue, and followed a nature trail to neighboring Grandpa’s Cellar, w where we continued our quest to taste eeverything apple with gooey caramel a apples.

And just when we thought our ccelebration of fall couldn’t get better, w we finished with a stop at High Hill R Ranch. If Trey and I had stumbled u upon this sensory explosion of fall on o our first foray to Apple Hill, we would h have said, “Now I get it!”

The kids ran down the grassy hill t the fishing pond. The parents took to i the breathtaking view from the in bluff of the vibrant fall valley below.

W didn’t know whether to start We with kettle corn, fudge shop, apple cider milk shakes, craft booths, pie shop, or farmers market. For a girl who could only imagine a glorious New England fall in the countryside, I felt like I had been transported.

That was 10 years ago. The yearly tradition continues this month, our passel of teenagers still as excited to make our fall pilgrimage up to Apple Hill as they were as kindergarteners.

But Trey and I have double-downed on fall this year. For our 20th anniversary this month we are also going to the Disneyworld of fall: New England!

Slap me with a corn husk and call me sweet apple pie. It. Will be.

Amazing!

T

he exterior of Nance Singletonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South Land Park home offers tantalizing clues to its imaginative interior. Built in 1965, the 1,600-squarefoot home was originally a California Rambler, like the surrounding houses. Thanks to Singletonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alterations, it no longer resembles its neighbors.

The exterior is stucco with copper gutters and a metal roof.

Jaunty orange metal plant sculptures sit tucked between living plants. An 8-foot wall with custom iron inserts surrounds the entry to the home. The garage boasts a second-story work space with azure-tinted windows and a balcony.

“I don’t like to keep it all one style,” Singleton says. “I try to keep it modern and eclectic but pull in special pieces. My home is a collaboration with artists and ironworkers I have worked with over the years.”

Singleton, an architect and former model, purchased the four-bedroom, two-bath house in 1977. Initially, the house had a wildly different decorating scheme.

“It looked like a bordello with carpeting, linoleum, bright flowered wallpaper and a bright blue ceiling,” she says. “But I knew I could make it work.”

Outdoors, Singleton replaced two koi ponds with a sumptuous custom lap pool with a rock waterfall and huge granite spill bowls. The tile surround and insets are laced with copper and were imported from Japan. Two bronze sculptures poised at one end of the pool represent her granddaughters perfecting their diving skills. A remotely controlled solar-powered patio cover provides shade for the outdoor kitchen and lounge area. A fire pit extends the outdoor season. Crossing the floating steps lands you at the front door.

After her four children were grown, Singleton set about reconfiguring her home. She began in the master bedroom.

Taking out a wall provided space for a large master suite. She enlarged the bathroom, making space for both an open-concept shower and separate soaking tub. She used stone and other natural materials to bring the outside in. The walls are painted a vivid green representing energy, life and family in the Japanese tradition.

When Singleton decided the kitchen needed remodeling, her thought process was a long one. The original kitchen had little storage space. She doesn’t like overhead cabinets, feeling they create a feeling of confinement. She prefers counters clear of clutter and appliances.

And she wanted space for maximum entertaining.

“I really thought this kitchen out,” she says. “This was the first kitchen I did, and

”

it gave me nightmares. I kept drawing and drawing, trying to get enough cabinet and drawer space so I could keep everything organized.”

Forgoing a kitchen table, Singleton installed a free-form island composed of Cambria stone and two salvaged pieces of granite. It seats eight easily. Her cabinets were imported from Italy. A pullout pantry reduces clutter. A six-burner gas induction cook top, double convection ovens and Liebherr stainless steel wine fridge set the stage for entertaining. A 6-foot-long Japanese kitchen sink contains prep areas and plenty of space left over for all the pots and pans used for a large meal.

Singleton stayed put through each project. When she gutted the kitchen, she set up camp in her bedroom.

“I lived through the dust and everything and moved my coffeemaker and toaster in and I was set,” she explains.

A custom-made industrial steel staircase leads to the artist loft space she built above the garage. Sliding double doors open onto a balcony overlooking the pool area.

IA OCT n 16

“Combining my love of art, architecture and design, I created a special loft space to not only work but display my works and special pieces I have collected through the years,” she explains.

“My house is all about being peaceful and being able to walk away being rested. It’s something I’ve always strived to do.”

I

’ve been eating for 50 years. I’m good at it and I like it!” says Dawnie Andrak, co-owner of Local Roots Food Tours. She and her partner, Tim Bailey, live in East Sacramento and bought the business last December. Together, they have tried their hand at a few local food ventures over the years, including an edible biking tour, and they’ve finally honed in on a brand they hope will stick.

Andrak is on track to complete a master’s degree in food studies from University of the Pacific by June, and Bailey is doing coursework at Sacramento City College. The two take joy in learning and being active in their community. When they aren’t learning and volunteering, they’re often riding bikes (sometimes alone, sometimes on a tandem) in their favorite city: Sacramento.

All Together Now HE BRINGS TOGETHER VOICES FOR AN ALL-FEMALE CHORAL GROUP

T

he motto for Vox Musica, the innovative women’s vocal ensemble, is Music Worth Sharing. That motto perfectly fits both the group and its founder and music director, Daniel Paulson.

“To quote the father of American choral, Robert Shaw, I know of no other art form in which an individual with limited skills is enhanced by the group,” Paulson says.

He founded the all-female group 10 years ago after earning his master’s degree in choral conducting at California State University, Los Angeles. (He also has a bachelor degree in voice performance from Sacramento State.) “Working in a group is really powerful,” he says.

“Everyone’s voice is unique. It’s of our spirit, our thumbprint. To share it, you have to be completely vulnerable. In choral singing, you have to be vulnerable with others.

I fully believe you can transform situations through singing. It’s empowering.”

Paulson comes from a musical family: His mother is a singer and an organist, and his father is a choir director. In his family, he says, “you played a sport, you played an instrument and you went to church.

That was our life.”

Paulson was a regular on the national honor choir circuit in high

But after his first summer of graduate school, Paulson was feeling stymied. One of his mentors suggested he go home and start his own group. Paulson did just that in 2006.

“Even in high school, I knew music education and being a choral

director was my path,” Paulson says.

“I found that I could see the paths of least resistance—to help people learn

“I wanted to create something in town that I felt there was a need for,” he explains. “At that time, I couldn’t find a women’s choir working at the skill level I knew was possible. So I brought some friends together and started Vox to forge new ground in choral work.”

Vox Musica serves as the perfect outlet for Paulson’s expansive imagination. Over the past 10 years, the group has produced 40 concert projects and has given more than 100 concert performances. Its repertoire includes 417 diverse musical works from more than 30 countries and sung in more than 25 languages, including Swedish, Japanese, Hungarian, Georgian, Ukrainian, Yiddish, Farsi, Arabic, Nahuatl (ancient Aztec) and Nisenan (an archaic Native American language).

“I’ll see something really interesting, and it’s my job to find a pathway,” Paulson says. “For

I said, ‘I really want to work with these people,’ so I made it my job to find a way to incorporate it into a project. Collaborations are at the heart of our organization. If can’t find published music, I’ll go out and get music made by friends. I get all these crazy ideas and think, ‘This is cool. Now, how can I bridge the gap?’”

Paulson is clearly very good at bridging the gap, and the American Society of Composers and Publishers took note. This year, Vox Musica was awarded the 2015-16 National Award for Adventurous Programming, a stamp of national recognition that has inspired Paulson—who is a tenure-track professor of voice and choral at Sacramento City College and a resident artist at the Tahoe Symphony—to go even bigger and better.

Check out this stunning surprise collection of pen-on-paper drawings at both the Shimo Center for the Arts and the Robert T. Matsui Gallery this fall.

With work on the Reverend Dr. Grant S. Carey antiphonal organ completed this spring, the community is ready to celebrate!

n 1996, a young restaurateur opened a new eatery on a sleepy corner in Midtown. The neighborhood was yet to be the pulsing engine of culinary culture it is today, and the young chef turned restaurant owner was yet to be a fixture of the local food scene. The young chef had taken a turn in San Francisco kitchens before coming to Sacramento and working with the Paragary

restaurant group.

Wishing to strike out on his own, Rick Mahan opened a French-inspired restaurant called The Waterboy.

Twenty years later, the restaurant still puts out some of the highest-quality food in the region.

The Waterboy is an easy restaurant to overlook. With attention focused on the reinvigorated downtown core, and with high-profile Midtown restaurant openings of places like OBO’ and Hawks Public House taking folks’ time and attention, a 20-yearold establishment that quietly and competently goes about its business isn’t always the first to leap to mind when you’re choosing a dining location.

From the street, it’s all windows and a bit of trim. The predominant color of the nonglass exterior is beige. The entrance is set back from street and in the permanent shade of a large elm.

Like I said, it’s easy to overlook.

The interior, lovely and comfortable though it is, also doesn’t exactly pop.

Beige again dominates. Some large industrial ducts and solid building

infrastructure is on display in the highceilinged room. Curtains are used to good effect to separate the large open spot into discrete spaces.

The service, much like the space, is also subtle—professional but casual.

“Easygoing” might be the word you’d use.

All of these elements—the plain exterior, the unembellished interior and the relaxed service—do their part to lull the diner into a sense of indifference. Just another night out at some faceless restaurant.

It’s not until the first dish comes out that you realize something else entirely is going on. Like the duck that seems cool and calm, even bored, on the surface but underneath the waterline paddles furiously, this calm space is a front for a kitchen putting out exceptional fare.

When you take that first bite of something as simple as bruschetta, you start to wake to the fact that this food is on a level of excellence difficult to achieve night in and night out. You taste the perfectly toasted, housemade bread; you devour the artfully

placed sliced fig; you savor the delicate balance between the salty prosciutto and the sweet-tangy whipped goat cheese.

Maybe it’s just a brief moment after your table finishes the gorgeous opening dish, but it’s a well-savored moment. And then, just before you ask yourself what might be next, your casual server drops by to run through a few specials with you. While he commands your attention, the plates and soiled silverware disappear from your table. A well-rehearsed magic trick has just been performed for you and you’re not even aware of it.

The service is an elaborate ruse.

The laid-back nature of the servers belies a practiced professionalism.

The conversational server distracts you from the team of service staff that invisibly patrols the dining room, filling water glasses, replacing utensils and shuttling plates hither and yon without your being the wiser. It’s an elegant, subtle dance.

As each plate comes to the table, it strikes a familiar note. Maybe it’s the veal sweetbreads? You could swear you’ve heard someone talk about them before. Odds are you probably have, and the meaty glands soaked in demiglace are every bit as good as you’ve been told. The dish is so good, in fact, that Mahan can’t take it off the menu for fear of customer revolt.

Could it be someone mentioned the corn soup recently? Probably.

It’s a gorgeous bowl of pureed sweet corn with crumbled chorizo and gulf shrimp, the flavors melding with unusual beauty.

You may have heard that the burger has won awards, or that the bartender finished first in a national competition, or that the desserts are out of this world. In the words of Han Solo, “It’s all true.”

Twenty years after a characteristically quiet opening on a characteristically quiet corner, The Waterboy continues to deliver excellent food that stands up to the test of time.

It’s simplicity on the outside, well-oiled machinery on the inside.

The Waterboy is at 2000 Capitol Ave.; 498-9891; waterboyrestaurant. com.

This Month @ the Market

A LOOK AT WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S IN SEASON AT LOCAL FARMERS MARKETS IN OCTOBER

BUTTERNUT SQUASH

QUINCE

This long squash is one of the tastiest winter squashes, with a subtle flavor similar to pumpkin.

Eat it: Roast the flesh and use in a simple risotto.

This knobby golden fruit looks like a pear and is generally too hard and sour to eat raw.

Eat it: Stew in water or wine, then bake in a tart.

SUNCHOKE

HEIRLOOM TOMATO

BLOOMSDALE SPINACH

Also known as a Jerusalem artichoke, this tuber has a fresh, nutty taste.

Eat it: Roast in the oven with other vegetables, or puree for a soup.

Summer may be over, but you can still find heirloom tomatoes at the farmers market. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors.

Eat it: Slice and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper.

This old spinach variety (from the 19th century) has a crinkled leaf and a deep, interesting flavor.

Eat it: Sautee in olive oil with garlic and hot red pepper flakes.

ARUGULA

This leafy green can be used as an herb, a salad or a vegetable. It has a peppery, spicy flavor.

Eat it: Dress lightly with fresh lemon juice and serve on top of grilled steak or chicken Milanese.
