Hot Off The Press NEIGHBORHOODS STAR IN SECOND EDITION OF ‘INSIDE SACRAMENTO’

T

his past month we released the second edition of our book, “Inside Sacramento: The Most Interesting Neighborhood Places in America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital.” The updated version follows the launch of the first edition two years ago.

With the first edition, we distributed and sold 7,000 books. Considering that the average book from a traditional publisher sells around 3,000 copies nationally over its lifetime, we are extremely proud and grateful for the community’s embrace of “Inside Sacramento.”

Sales came from many places.

Readers of our publications bought copies. Prominent Realtors gave them as closing gifts with a home purchase. Attorneys delivered them as Christmas gifts to clients and family.

My accountant gave the book as client gifts and also delivered them to new residents in his neighborhood, along with his card and welcome message.

Book sales came from folks who love our city and want to better know our unique neighborhoods. People handed copies to new neighbors and showed visitors from out of town.

Mayor Darrell Steinberg proclaimed the book as Sacramento’s “bucket list challenge.” At our book launch he said, “Buy this book and visit every one of these places. And then when you have been to all of them, give the book to a newcomer.” Many people I know have copies proudly displayed on their coffee tables.

Several residential developers, including McKinley Village, Bardis Homes and Fulcrum Property, hand

Golden Pacific Bank gives copies to clients, since many of their smallbusiness customers are in the book.

Sacramento State University gives copies to new faculty. And books are inside the hotels rooms at the Kimpton Sawyer, Embassy Suites and the Downtown Holiday Inn. Our sponsors—including Visit Sacramento and the Greater Sacramento Economic Council—use “Inside Sacramento� to share the city’s bounty and to help promote and lure business to Sacramento. The book helps sell convention planners on our city. “Inside Sacramento� went abroad as city leaders took copies as gifts for sister-city exchange trips. City Councilmember Steve Hansen brought the book to China. He says, “Even with a language barrier, everyone can relate to the gorgeous photography of our city’s great places and farm-tofork culture.� A group of musicians from Europe did a concert exchange with a local musical organization. The Europeans were presented books upon their arrival.

I spoke about the book at several Rotary clubs. A nerve was struck with members when I talked about our city’s reputation not keeping pace with the reality of what Sacramento offers. I mentioned the book as a wonderful way to convince children and grandchildren to consider moving back to Sacramento.

They loved that approach!

Several business owners featured in “Inside Sacramento� told me they had

people stop by and ask the merchants to sign their page. The readers were collecting them! I heard about a woman who placed color-coded flags on each page to help track the places she visited—and the discoveries still ahead.

A year ago, I met a Los Angelesbased cookbook author at a fitness spa in Mexico. We exchanged experiences about our books. She mentioned her frequent travels through Sacramento to visit her parents in Northern California.

She said she was thinking of moving her catering business to Sacramento. On a lark, I sent her the book.

Months later, she emailed me to say she was sitting in her new East Sac backyard enjoying “Inside Sacramento� with a glass of wine! She made the decision to move here when the book arrived, instantly connecting with our food scene. She knew she would fit in.

Late last year, as our first edition supplies dwindled, we decided to publish a second edition. Each place featured is a locally owned business, so closures and turnover were inevitable.

We post changes as they happen on insidesacbook.com.

The first edition was a snapshot of the city when it was published in 2016.

Since then, many new places have opened. In preparing the second edition, we carefully curated new entries.

As with the first edition, there are more than 1,000 gorgeous photos by photographers Aniko Kiezel and Rachel Valley. Both covers have been updated with new photos.

The first edition featured nine neighborhoods: Downtown, Old Sac, Midtown, The Handle, R Street, Land Park, Curtis Park, Oak Park and East Sac. For the second edition, we added

The Bridge District (home of The Barn and Raley Field) in West Sacramento and the Sutter District, which is part of Midtown but with its own identity.

The second edition has about 30-percent updated content. A new section called City Amenities features art galleries and performing arts organizations, “Lady Bird� movie locations, mural art and the Sacramento Walk of Stars honorees.

Also noteworthy is a new colorfully designed neighborhood map on the first page of the inside cover. It’s a first for Sacramento.

BRE #01437284

In my travel experiences, great cities have great maps. In Vancouver recently, we were handed five different maps in four days. They included a colorful map of the city’s neighborhoods and districts, a cycling map, historic walking map, park attractions map and farmto-table dining map. I used smartphone maps only twice. Physical maps were much easier. They let me ditch the smartphone, relax and enjoy a new city.

Last year, I visited Dallas and noticed every Airbnb rental online had a colorful map of Dallas neighborhoods displayed in the room. Maps were for

sale in many retail shops. There were a variety of designs, but each visually defined the city’s neighborhoods.

When I researched Sacramento maps, I found exactly one: a business-like map of City Council boundaries on the city’s website. Clearly, we needed something to reflect Sacramento’s spirit.

So we designed our own map for the book’s inside cover. And we produced a larger version for wall display. The large version is 24 inches by 36 inches and for sale at University Art in Midtown for $24.95.

We hope many of the places featured in “Inside Sacramento” will display copies proudly in their locations. People take great pride in their neighborhoods—and they should. Neighborhood identity adds immeasurably to the textural character of our city.

Not long ago, we all relied on printed maps. But in a digital world, printed maps take on a new and important purpose. Anyone with a smartphone or computer knows you can find anything on digital maps. While e-maps pinpoint locations, they make it difficult to understand a neighborhood’s boundaries or size. And they don’t help us understand how neighborhoods

relate to each other geographically. For walking or biking, context is vital.

The second edition of “Inside Sacramento” includes a variety of neighborhoods. The Handle is compact, just a few blocks from East Sac, which covers many square miles. This isn’t obvious on a smartphone, but it’s clear on our map.

Please consider buying the second edition of “Inside Sacramento” from our local sellers. They include Chocolate Fish Coffee, Display: California in Oak Park, University Art and Time Tested Books in Midtown, Avid Reader in Land Park, #Panache in East Sac and the Crocker Art Museum store. The price is $29.95. Discounts for larger orders are available by contacting sue@ insidepublications.com.

“Inside Sacramento: The Most Interesting Neighborhood Places in America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital” is also available online at insidesacbook.com, with free shipping. Mention “Inside” and get a $5 discount on the new lower price of $29.99.

And with the book each one of us can do our part to tell the compelling story of our interesting and beautiful city.

Most notable are the 13 landscaped mediums running down the center of the street, brimming with palms (lit up at night with little white lights), maples and valley oaks. Drivers also enjoy 36 metal light posts, each decorated with a large and elegant “F.” How about that smooth drive along the recently repaved road? All the credit goes to FAA. “Every day, 33,000 cars drive up and down Fulton Avenue,” says FAA executive director Melinda Eppler, who joined the organization in 2003.

The results of FAA’s efforts have been “truly transforming,” she adds. “A huge improvement over what it used to be, which was asphalt and cars.”

Not every undertaking has been as visible or aesthetic. The first project FAA tackled in 2000 was to upgrade the mainline to the water-supply system. “Not very sexy, but extremely important from an infrastructure standpoint,” Eppler says.

FAA, formed in 1998, is a Property-Based Improvement District representing 2.3 miles of Fulton Avenue between Arden Way and the Capital City Freeway, as well as properties along major cross streets. The association’s mission is to improve—from an economic, aesthetic and security perspective—the commercial area of Fulton Avenue.

The district, which operates in five-year terms, was renewed this past July with 81 percent support by property and business owners within the district.

“Every property is assessed by the same format,” Eppler says. The assessment is based on each property owner’s square footage, plus the linear feet of street footage along Fulton. The annual budget is $432,000 under the newly approved assessment.

In addition to the landscaped mediums and light posts, FAA has installed six corner monuments—two at Arden Way and four at Marconi Avenue—with bronze plaques honoring the men for whom two streets were

CARMICHAEL TENNIS ATHLETE EXPERIENCES U.S. OPEN

N

ational junior men’s tennis champion Jenson Brooksby barely recalls the first time he played tennis. “I was 4 years old,” he says. “I liked grabbing a racquet and hitting a ball. Around 9, I started traveling and playing in tournaments. I enjoyed other sports, but I loved the solo aspect of tennis.”

In August, the 17-year-old Carmichael athlete beat 256 others to the top of his national division.

Beyond trophies, the victor’s big prize was to share courts with some of the world’s best players at the U.S. Open.

In September, Brooksby debuted on the hallowed ground of Flushing Meadows, N.Y. As a “wild card” in the men’s tournament, he was knocked out in the first round by Australian pro John Millman. No disgrace: In the fourth round, Millman defeated one of the favorites, Roger Federer. In the tournament for under 19-year-old boys, Brooksby won four matches but fell to Italian Lorenzo Musetti in the semi-finals. Brazilian Marechal Candido Rondon eventually took the junior title.

Even with his disappointment, Brooksby remains the top American

Being there was what I’ve trained hard for—for a very long time.” Battle-hardened Brooksby has come far from pre-school tuition and Arden-Arcade’s Rio del Oro Racquet Club. Regarded early as a prodigy, he’s had five lessons a week since he was 7. He returns from New York to resume a discipline of four hours of tennis and one hour in the gym every day. To accommodate the regime, he’s been home-schooled since sixth grade. “Learning at home teaches you to manage your time,” says the student whose homework gets done in airports and hotel rooms. “I miss out on the social aspect of school, but I still interact with other tennis players—

Gabe Kerschner will present a menagerie of wild animals at NatureFest. male and female.” Dating, he considers, can wait until college.

Following offers from many top U.S. schools, he recently accepted a full athletic scholarship from Texas Christian University. For now, graduating high school is a priority.

Brooksby is a straight-A senior who did online assignments between matches at Flushing. His other classroom is a hard court at Arden Hills Club. There, Joseph Gilbert—regarded as one of the top U.S. junior coaches—runs the JMG Academy for teenagers who aspire to college and pro tennis. “Jenson is one of the most competitive kids I’ve ever taught,” says Gilbert. “His ability to focus for long periods sets him apart.”

Gilbert accompanied Brooksby to New York. Anesthesiologist dad Glen Brooksby and equestrian mom Tania Brooksby also joined the pilgrimage.

“My parents are a huge part of my dream,” says their only child. “For so many years of tournaments, mom and dad have traveled with me. They’re at least as important to my success as my coach. Every match I’ve played, they’ve played it with me.

“Our goal in going to the U.S. Open was for me to win. But whether I won or lost, my level of playing increased. And I loved the place. I hope to get back there next year.”

MEET THE ANIMALS Bats, birds and reptiles will be among the educators at Effie Yeaw Nature Center’s annual NatureFest on Sunday, Oct. 7, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Presenters will include Gabe Kerschner who runs an animal sanctuary in Placer County. All rescued from adversity, his animals include an alligator, lemur, kangaroo and Gibbon monkey. Kerschner will discuss animal rescues, like that of a bald eagle, Spirit, who was shot by a fisherman in Alaska.

NatureFest attendees also will view a more regional menagerie, such as a skunk, raccoon and opossum. Among last year’s hits was a baby beaver.

Save the Snakes, a nonprofit that champions one of nature’s most misunderstood species, will offer a program designed to dispel many myths.

Gopher and king snakes will slither into the spotlight as ambassadors for their species. Resident nature center raptors will also interact with visitors.

Face-painting and crafts are among the many activities for children.

Police instructors and children end a four-day athletic and leadership program with graduation festivities.

COPS AND KIDS AT CAMPOUT The Citrus Heights Police Activities League recently wrapped up a debut Extreme Sports Camp at San Juan High School. Kids, ages 7–15, from Citrus Heights, Carmichael and Orangevale matched athletic skills for four days. Police staffers coached karate, basketball, soccer, dance and cheerleading teams.

“We created a fun atmosphere,” says camp director Lt. Jason Russo.

“We also included sessions to promote good life decisions and leadership.” The four-day curriculum culminated in a graduation-day pancake breakfast. The camp’s final afternoon included displays

by SWAT, motorcycle and K-9 units. In 100-plus heat, Sacramento Metro Fire Department invited kids to run through gushing fire hoses. “Some of our officers enjoyed this activity, too. Everyone wanted to cool down,” reports Russo.

“The kids tried sports they might not otherwise had opportunities to play.

They were respectful and disciplined.

LIBRARY LEADER SHARES RESOURCE “Your library is a shared resource.

Get out and share it,” commanded Rivkah Sass. Carmichael business people got the message when the director of the Sacramento Public Library recently addressed the Chamber of Commerce.

The executive—who started her career as a children’s librarian in Washington—was recently named in a

stellar lineup of "Women Who Mean Business" by the Sacramento Business Journal. Daughter of a Manteca dairy farmer, Sass runs the fourth largest library system in California.

Assuming her Sacramento job in 2008, Sass inherited an institution reeling from an internal embezzlement scandal. An iron-clad system, explains Sass, is now in place to prevent similar occurrences. “We now have the best financial management in world,” she says. “We want the public to trust we’re doing a good job with their money.”

Sass is proud that programs introduced under her aegis now serve the entire community. “Our Library of Things can loan anything from a sewing machine to a musical instrument or a GoPro camera,” she says. “We’ll help you apply for a passport, publish a book, get free or discounted museum passes, earn a high school diploma or help your child get ready to read. Anything you need to learn, you can discover at your library.”

This summer, a Lunch at the Library program served meals to children in 13 county locations, including Fair Oaks and Arcade. “If kids are hungry, they can’t learn. If kids are readers, they’re thinkers—and they can make a difference,” Rivkah adds.

“In a world where there is so much competition for our personal resources, it’s critical to know there’s an agency that can help stretch family dollars.

Many people don’t know it costs

nothing to get a library card. Walking through the door and making that discovery is so important. I’m proud to be a librarian because we provide what anyone can take advantage of. We help people realize their dreams.”

ON YOUR FEET! The second annual Carmichael Community Dance, sponsored by the John Skinner Band and Carmichael Recreation and Park District, will kick off at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 21, at La Sierra Community Center. This free dance is open to all ages.

Before his 2017 death, bandleader Skinner committed to sponsoring a big social gathering to unite neighborhoods.

“The community that dances together advances together,” reasoned Skinner.

The community dance lineup will include rock, swing, ballads and line dances. There will also be contests and prizes.

Drinks and snacks will be available for purchase. Additional sponsors include Sacramento County Supervisor Susan Peters, Carmichael Kiwanis Club, Tim’s Music, Milagro Centre, and Mission Oaks Recreation and Park District. La Sierra Community Center is at 5325 Engle Road. For more information, call (916) 481-0334.

Caught Up in the Raptor ONCE ENDANGERED SPECIES CONTINUES NESTING IN OUR SUBURBS

T

hey’re as common as gulls in Alaska. But frequent sightings of our national bird snatching fish from the American and Sacramento rivers are providing OMG experiences for local kayakers. Noted last year as the closest recorded bald eagle nest to Sacramento, the same eyrie was blessed with more babies this summer.

The 2017 hatchlings, named Poppy and Peekaboo by local kindergarteners, are 18 months old and established in new territory.

The same kids this year chose Byrd for the alpha chick and Rainbow for the sibling. The twins busted from baseball-size eggs in March.

Nourished by nonstop room service, they soon achieved their parents’ great size and, at 13 weeks, spread 7-foot wings and flew. Like his famous namesake, Byrd explored air, land

and water during a dramatic maiden flight. Flapping boldly between trees, the novice clipped a high fence and crash landed near a public trail. For 30 minutes, he strode a clumsy to and fro on the clay path. Observers formed a broad shield against dogs and joggers until Byrd gathered speed and crested the fence to safety. Even after this trauma, the eaglet refused to return to the nest. Explorer Byrd completed extraordinary traverses over the river at its widest and drank from the waterside. While on the lam,

his Mama brought enough fish to prevent starvation without rewarding rebellion. After three days, the parents coaxed the prodigal back to the family buffet.

Compared to Byrd’s surf-andturf debut, Rainbow later managed a textbook effort. Papa delivered breakfast and issued flying orders.

Talons trailing, Rainbow flew 50 yards to an adjacent pine, then gained confidence for the home flight.

Having previously raised several broods, Mama is a nursery pro.

IA OCT n 18

For two breeding seasons, bald eagle parents have raised families high above the American River.

Her mate is younger (this was his second adult season), but he’s now a confident dad. The parents’ combination of protection and tough love comes with sacrifice. Exhausted by four months of 24/7 hunting, Mom and Pop completed their 2018 parenting season and escaped for a distant vacation. Byrd and Rainbow were left in the care of sub-adults— possibly relatives. The newcomers (whom observers named Juna and Hunter) are perhaps gaining experience for starting their own nursery next year. Trout deliveries for the fledglings guaranteed their immediate acceptance. By this fall, the rejuvenated parents should return to rebuild the nest and prep for a 2019 family. Hard lessons in self-sufficiency loom for the 2018 babies.

A testament to the regeneration of a species threatened with extinction only 50 years ago, this American River family is now well established in suburbia. The raptors’ presence is a joy to neighborhoods in their flightpath.

Like the nation they represent, bald eagles are resilient. They’re also selfless providers, committed to

Hop Harvest LOCAL BREWER LEARNS HOP FARMING FIRSTHAND

A

ugust is harvest time in the hop fields of California, so Rohit Nayyar has left the air-conditioned comfort of his RoCo Taproom & Bottleshop in West Sacramento to brave the sweltering Yuba City heat. “During the hops season, it’s all hands on deck,” says Nayyar, who is more known for selling and pouring beers than for harvesting their raw ingredients. However, growing hops has also increased Nayyar’s appreciation of how they eventually get used by brewers. “You’ll

understand how many hours go into growing these hops, just to get the one pint of beer.”

Nayyar’s nascent farming career started six years ago when his friend Julien Lux, owner of New Glory Craft Brewery in Sacramento, gave him the idea. California once had a rich history of hop farming, but now the industry is almost entirely centered in Oregon and Washington. “There used to be a lot of hops grown here, but that went away because a lot of the processing wasn’t here, and nobody was using whole cone hops, everybody started pelletizing them,” Nayyar says. “California lacks the equipment and the infrastructure for hops growing and processing.”

Nayyar reached out to his best friend, Jaspaul Banes, and the two men decided to become partners in the hop business.

They found a piece of land in Yuba City where they could grow hops. “We

planted an acre of hops just to see how it goes,” Nayyar says. “From there, we got such a good response and kept on growing more and more, and now we have two different hop growers that grow for us, and we grew our acreage up to almost 15 acres.”

The enthusiastic duo handpicked their own hops when they first started growing, but that proved too laborintensive, so they invested in a small harvester. With each bine producing nearly 5 pounds of hop flowers, it would take several hours to handpick a single bine. They only grow nonproprietary hop varieties like Cascade, CTZ, Chinook, Magnum, California Cluster and Nayyar’s favorite varietal, Centennial. “It used to be one of the popular hops, it was a proprietary hop at one point,” Nayyar says. “It became the main hop in every West Coast IPA.”

Since the hop harvest happens in late summer, early autumn is the time for “fresh hop” (or “wet hop”) beers.

These beers are brewed with freshly picked, whole cone hop flowers instead of the concentrated hop pellets that most brewers use year-round. “The local breweries like New Glory, Knee Deep and Jackrabbit, they supported us,” Nayyar says. “In the beginning, it was just those three breweries, but now we’re serving close to 80 different breweries all around Northern California.”

Before 2018, Nayyar’s hop farms only produced enough to supply local brewers during fresh hop beer season, but this will be the first year that they produce enough hops to sell throughout the year.

Any hop flowers left on the bine after the August harvest will eventually get picked and pelletized. “We finally are in a position where we have enough hops to sell all year long instead of having to rush off to market.”

One of the most widely distributed wet hop beers made with Nayyar’s hops is Wobblies Wet Hop Ale by Calicraft Brewing Co. of Walnut Creek. However, the one that sticks out to Nayyar is an annual beer made by West Sacramento brewery Jackrabbit Brewing Co. that uses both fresh hops and fresh peaches from the Yuba City farm. “It’s a nice West Coast-style IPA with all locally sourced ingredients,” he says. “We asked those guys to make that one every year, and they do.”

For all the rewards that Nayyar finds in hop farming, there are still challenges that come with a being a small-scale hop farmer in California. Their hops are more expensive than the ones grown on industrial farms in Oregon and Washington, where most of the processing equipment is located. “If you go to banks to get a loan in California, they’re not used to this kind of a crop and they don’t have data on it,” he says.

“We’re spending our money, our own life savings, our own time to grow these hops.”

Instead of adding more acreage for next year’s harvest, Nayyar and Banes plan to make investments in their infrastructure, such as buying a bulk harvester and having it shipped here from Europe. “Big farmers out of Oregon and Washington, they don’t even use a bulk harvester,” says Nayyar. “They have multimillion-dollar facilities built on their farms.

“We’re not there yet, but eventually that’s where we want to get to.”

Second Spring PLANT NOW FOR MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

F

or much of the world, fall is the time to harvest and put the garden to bed. Gardeners in Sacramento are harvesting, too, but we have to multitask. Autumn is our “second spring,” according to Angela Pratt, owner of The Plant Foundry in Oak Park. Now is the time to plant spring-blooming seeds and cool-season flowering plants, and then enjoy their flowers in the coming months.

If you tend to collect packets of wildflower seeds, including California poppies, Pratt recommends stapling them to a calendar on the month of October because that is the “magic planting window.” Sow them and other

spring-blooming annuals, such as sweet peas, bachelor’s buttons, cerinthe, larkspur, clarkia and hollyhocks, while the soil is still warm and before rains begin.

Seeds planted now won’t bear flowers for months. What about plants that bloom autumn through winter?

Pratt calls pansies, violas, primroses, stock, calendula, Iceland poppies and paludosum daisies the “usual suspects” for cool-season flowers. Often, we wait to plant these until spring when they flower for a few brief months and collapse when it gets hot. By planting them now, you get “more bang for the buck,” Pratt asserts. They will bloom while fall days are fairly long and nights are relatively warm, hunker down in the coldest, darkest winter months, and then explode with flowers as spring approaches.

Pansies are the common term for a wide range of hybrids in the viola family. The plant labels may say “viola,” but most of us know a pansy when we see one. Like all violas, they have five petals. Pansies usually have three blotches forming a happy “face.” Their

flowers are large, up to 4 inches across, and come in an array of colors. Whether you want soft and subtle pastel shades or eye-popping primary tones of yellow, orange, red and purple, there is a pansy for you. It’s odd that “pansy” is a term used to insult people for being weak or lacking courage. They are the tough guys of the winter garden, undaunted by rain and frost.

The term “viola” is usually used for pansies’ daintier cousins, but they are also tough and have brightened gardens for centuries. Thomas Jefferson planted Viola tricolor in his Monticello garden, so it is a true heirloom plant. Old-time gardeners like my mother called them “Johnny-Jump-Ups.” Viola tricolor does indeed self-seed and jump up throughout the garden, but rather than being invasive, they are a delightful if uninvited guest. They do best if you

regularly pick their flowers, along with some of their green growth, to keep them compact.

What else do cool-season flowers need? Protect them from slugs and snails, fertilize them, and remove spent flowers to encourage continued bloom.

If there will be a hard freeze (below 28 degrees), cover them to ensure they survive unharmed.

Is it fall or spring? In Sacramento, you can have both at once, and flowers every day of the year.

Thinking Small NIKKY MOHANNA CREATES HOUSING, DOESN’T WASTE SPACE

The 19J project in Midtown will be an 11-story mixed-use building.

I

This will not be just another building.

quite like it.

With small, efficient micro-studios starting at below $1,000 a month, Mohanna believes 19J will appeal to an urban workforce threatened by Sacramento’s housing crisis.

“In a lot of ways, millennials are the pioneers of urban living, so we have to build for them, and we have to figure out a way to meet their budgets,” says Mohanna. She designed 19J not by contemplating square footage, but asking, what can residents afford?

Most units at 19J will be cheaper than the median studio price in Sacramento, but 19J is not an affordable housing project. Without subsidies or federal tax credits, Mohanna had to

build small and efficiently to make 19J financially viable. Eighty percent of 19J’s 175 units are between 300- and 400-square feet. Studios less than 400-square feet will come with Murphy beds and storage built into walls.

European cities and New York inspired Mohanna to build micro-units, where urban lifestyles demand more mixed-use, communal spaces and alternate forms of transportation. Her vision includes patios, balconies and a 6,000-square-foot retail space where tenants will offer services for residents.

The project has just 37 stackable parking spaces.

“Sacramento is unaffordable and we need to do something about it,”

Mohanna says. “It makes me want to build.”

Experience and education help explain why Mohanna elected to construct for community and inclusion. The daughter of Sacramento developer Moe Mohanna, a Sacramento property owner for more than four decades, Nikki returned home in 2014 after studying at London School of Economics and working with UNESCO in Tehran, Iran.

Her sense of community was forged early in Sacramento when she volunteered with Loaves & Fishes and Women’s Empowerment, two nonprofits focused on homeless support. The volunteer work helped her understand

SARA R AU D E LU N A S that her comfortable upbringing carried an obligation to help others.

“I realized that I didn’t deserve what I had, and I certainly don’t deserve it today,” she says. “If anything, that puts more pressure on me to do something that’s right.”

As Mohanna considered 19J, her first major project, she sought a balance between profitability and community value. She decided the two goals could coexist.

“We’re trying to build a community within the community that will be done through programs and communal spaces,” she says. Common areas include indoor and outdoor lounges, fitness and game rooms, three outdoor patios, a communal kitchen and rooftop garden. “But something different that we’re doing, that I haven’t seen before, is to provide the programming for these spaces.”

Five resident managers will live on alternate floors of the 11-story 19J building. The managers will organize programs such as painting, cooking and gardening. They will be graduates of Women’s Empowerment, where Mohanna now volunteers as a board member. The resident-manager program will help combat biases many

Nikky Mohanna homeless women face as they transition into housing.

“Because of their history, many were not getting housing and work,” Mohanna says. “They were competing against people without that history and without that bias against them. So I was sitting at a (Women’s Empowerment) graduation one day while I was entitling 19J, and I thought, wouldn’t it be

perfect if we could provide employment in property management that comes with housing?”

Five graduates from Women’s Empowerment will receive a yearlong position at 19J. During their time with the project, the women will gain training and free onsite housing. When their year ends, they will receive help as they transition into other jobs.

“This is a critical time—the issue of people not being able to afford to live—so we need to start building for the middle class and our workforce,” Mohanna says.

The 19J project is Mohanna’s first majority micro-unit development, but in August she submitted an application for a similar project at 10th and K streets. Her plans for the Downtown corner include a hotel with 200 rooms, 186 apartments and a floor of co-living, dorm-style units for Capitol interns and short-term residents.

“They’re here three or four months and have the hardest time finding housing, so we want to incentivize those individuals,” she says.

Mohanna hopes to break ground on 10K later next year or in early 2020.

n I e r ’ u o Y n i k The S DERMVEDA IS ANSWER TO ALL SKIN-CARE QUERIES

Venita Sivamani

JL

By Jessica Laskey Meet Your Neighbor

IA OCT n 18

P

eople think that taking care of your skin is about vanity, but it’s so much more than that,” says Venita Sivamani, co-founder and CEO of Dermveda, a groundbreaking online platform that combines the disciplines of Western medicine, Ayurveda, naturopathy and traditional Chinese medicine to provide skincare information to the masses.

“The No. 1 request doctors get from patients is about skin,” says the East Sacramento resident. “Dermveda is here to help answer questions so patients can go to their providers informed.”

Although not a dermatologist, Sivamani is good friends with many and married to one.

Her husband, Raja Sivamani, is a boardcertified dermatologist and Ayurveda expert who serves on the Dermveda advisory board.

Sivamani started noticing that certain complaints were coming up time and again.

“Everyone lamented the fact that they don’t have enough time with their patients,” says Sivamani, who has worked in educational equity and leadership for nearly a decade.

“They didn’t have enough time in an appointment to really delve into a patient’s concerns—and most of those concerns were about skin.”

Because of Sivamani’s extensive educational background, she started to formulate a way to educate patients outside of the provider’s office—to give them a place to bring their questions and learn about themselves and their health in the process.

Never one to do things halfway, Sivamani attended business school at UC Davis to study entrepreneurship (which included time abroad at London Business School) before turning her focus to Dermveda fulltime in 2015.

Sivamani was passionate about including varied disciplines and approaches to health.

She grew up in a blended Eastern-Western household, with a mother from Sri Lanka and a father whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower. She was also adamant that her platform would bring patients the most medically accurate information in an accessible format.

To achieve this, Sivamani solicited dermatological experts from all over the country to submit articles about different skin concerns, which were then sent through a vigorous peer-review process much like a medical journal.

“We make sure claims are reinforced to meet the highest standards,” Sivamani says.

“We want our site to be as safe and credible as possible.”

Dermveda.com launched in July 2016 and has won praise, not only from the public but also from providers, whom Sivamani says often refer patients to the site or use it themselves during appointments to look up

“It’s truly personalized,” says Sivamani, who was inspired to start the site after an adolescence spent battling acne with “every product under the sun” to no avail. “You start by creating a unique skin profile by answering a few questions and providing a photo, and then we personalize your dashboard with expert-reviewed content related to your unique skin type, skin conditions and other interest areas.”

Users also receive recommendations about what ingredients and products will be best for their skin and track progress with photo uploads—all completely free of charge thanks to content provided by Dermveda’s integrated team of allopathic medical doctors, research scientists and professional alternative-medicine practitioners.

“Our experts are so willing to share,” Sivamani says gratefully. “Often, they’ve published a study in a medical journal and then it has nowhere else to go. This way, the information can be shared with so many more people.”

Sivamani is taking the sharing to a whole new level this month with Dermveda’s first Integrative Dermatology Symposium, which will

bring more than 250 providers together for “a meeting of the minds,” as Sivamani describes it.

The provider-only symposium will be followed by the Integrative Skin Care Wellness Fair, which is open to the public. Attendees will meet skin and beauty experts, enjoy free makeup consultations and samples, shop local and national brands, create DIY skin products, and listen to world-renowned keynote speakers Drs. Keira Barr and Trevor Cates.

Better still, 10 percent of ticket sales from the event will benefit Women’s Empowerment, a local nonprofit that educates and empowers homeless women to re-enter the workforce.

“Beauty and wellness are not just about slathering on product,” Sivamani says. “It’s about getting to know yourself better and living an optimal lifestyle.”

Visit dermveda.com for more information on the Integrative Skin Care Wellness Fair, Saturday, Oct. 20, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Sheraton Grand Sacramento, 1230 J St.

You Are Not

Alone

MESSAGES OF HOPE PUNCH HOLES IN THE DARKNESS

O

n a Sunday afternoon, my wife, Becky, and I visit the Crimson Tattoo Co. in Auburn. We’re not looking to get a painful heart-shape tattoo, but rather to help alleviate the spiritual pain of suicide.

Shop owners Jon and Brittney Hendricks invite us inside where a dozen volunteers are emulating a suicide-prevention tactic recently started by a woman in the UK. The idea seems beautifully simplistic—write and attach anti-suicide notes to any local structure known for suicides.

NB

By Norris Burkes Spirit Matters

IA OCT n 18

Jon welcomes me at the front desk where we chat for more than a half hour as he laminates about 200 notes written on multi-colored construction paper. His local strategy calls for us to post these notes along the span of the Foresthill Bridge.

I strain to read the writing of one person at an adjacent table. “Life is hard and impossible to go through alone. You are not alone. Call 800-2738255.” (This is the 24-hour National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.) Another writer composes “Silence is overrated.

Scream at the top of your lungs when you need help. Call 800-273-8255.”

Jon seems a gentle soul, a pastor’s son, so I ask what spurs his interest in the topic. He tells me he’s a combat veteran, an infantryman with tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. “Some of my friends didn’t survive our coming home.” He points toward Brittney. “She knows those stories, so she worries about me.”

Jon checks his watch. The evening shadows hint at dusk, so he dismisses us to our cars. Ten minutes later, we find the Foresthill Bridge straddling a massive canyon, 730 feet over the north fork of the American River.

I park near a special call box with a sign, “Crisis Counseling. There is hope. Make the call.” The call box is an unadorned reminder that since the 1973 bridge was constructed, 87 people have jumped from the bridge, the fourth highest in the country.

Our group scatters along the halfmile span. Each of us carries a plastic bag holding a dozen notes written with a rainbow of permanent ink colors.

With the blessings of county officials, we walk both sides of the bridge, zip-tying our inspirational messages along the fence line. The railings have been raised to 6 feet 6 inches in hopes of dissuading spontaneous jumpers.

Sadly, I’m told, the retrofit does little to stop the single-minded who bring small ladders.

Hikers stop to examine the messages.

Some of them voice the hope that our notes might stop one person from “… making a permanent choice to solve a temporary problem,” as one bright piece of paper states.

One young passerby asks Becky if he can hang one of our notes. “A good friend committed suicide just last

week,” he says, explaining his random request. Becky gives him a note along with an understanding nod.

We start our walk back to our car with the aid of glaring headlights from passing vehicles. The darkening sky stages the obvious metaphor of overwhelming gloom descending on victims of suicide.

“Do you think this will do much good?” Becky wonders aloud.

“Maybe it’ll be like holes in the darkness,” I suggest.

“Pardon?”

“It’s an old sermon illustration from Robert Louis Stevenson,” I explain.

“Stevenson spent his childhood in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the 19th century. As a boy, he was intrigued by the lamplighters who used a torch to ignite the streetlights of the town.

“One evening, Robert’s parents asked him what he was gawking at. With great enthusiasm he exclaimed, ‘Look at that man! He’s punching holes in the darkness!’”

We look back across the bridge.

The notes seem to light the span with florescent colors and vibrant messages.

“May God bless our efforts,” I say, “to throw some punches through this darkness.”

Heart of (Girl Scout) Gold Anna Chriss

“

AS I GOT OLDER AND SAW HOW PEOPLE

TREAT OTHER PEOPLE, THE STIGMA AGAINST HOMELESSNESS BECAME VERY PRESENT.

”

IA OCT n 18

LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR GETS CREATIVE TO HELP HOMELESS

W

hen Rio Americano High School senior Anna Chriss received the Girl Scout Gold Award this year for The Anna Chriss Homeless Care Package Project, it was not only an acknowledgment of a job well done in the eyes of the Girl Scouts of America—less than 5 percent of Girl Scouts receive the award—but also a celebration of years of hard work that started when Chriss was only 11 years old.

“Sitting in the passenger seat of my parents’ car headed Downtown to Sacramento Ballet for Wednesday night practice, I would ask my mom about the people milling around our local Loaves & Fishes,” Chriss recalls. “I remember her kind explanation that the people in question are less fortunate than we are and have fewer resources than we do. This was a simple answer, but it was enough to get me thinking about what I could do to improve their situation.”

Chriss compiled a list of supplies that she thought might be appreciated, and enlisted the help of her seventh-grade classmates to donate items and put together care packages that she delivered on Thanksgiving Day. Thus began an annual tradition for the conscientious Chriss. Every fall, she encourages the community to help her gather food—including chips and candy—hygiene supplies and water for her to personally deliver to the local homeless.

JL

By Jessica Laskey Giving Back: Volunteer Profile

“When you’re homeless, you usually just get the necessities,” Chriss says. “Chips and candy are the happiness aspect. I want to help people feel a little happier inside.”

Five years into the project, Chriss began to think about the possibility of applying for the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest achievement in Girl Scouting that recognizes girls who demonstrate extraordinary leadership through projects that have a sustainable impact in their communities and beyond.

“It was a huge transition for me,” says Chriss, who’s been a Girl Scout for 11 years. “At first, the reaction of the people—the change I saw in them, the happiness and overwhelming joy—is what fulfilled me. But as I got older and saw how people treat other people, the stigma against homelessness became very present. As Sacramento’s homeless population continues to grow and people are having more and more issues, most of those seem to stem from a negative viewpoint.”

Because the Gold Award project must have an educational aspect, Chriss decided to augment her project’s mission to include an informative component to alter the negative stigma. She researched the causes of homelessness and shared the information far and wide—with her family, her classmates, her Girl Scout Troop and beyond—to make her community that much more informed and compassionate.

“If you share the research and change the way people look at homelessness, hopefully it will create a ripple effect,” Chriss says.

I would certainly like to see more money spent on cost-effective, healthy bicycling. But to pretend that more transportation money isn’t needed is utterly irresponsible.

HOW COSTCO BROKE ITS PROMISE Earlier this year I wrote about biking to the Expo Parkway Costco and being unable to find a bike rack to lock my bike. After I wrote about that experience, it occurred to me that Sacramento has long had standards for customer, visitor and employee bike parking at new developments.

I sent an inquiry to the city to see if Costco had met those requirements.

City enforcement responded quickly with a check of the development conditions when Costco was built. They conducted a site visit to see whether Costco had complied.

It turns out Costco failed to live up to its obligations. Back in 1999, it promised to provide spaces for 22 bikes, including 11 specially secured spots in bike lockers or an inside space that could be used for “long term” parking needed by employees.

The city’s site inspection determined Costco had a bike rack for only six bikes. I was very surprised to learn Costco had a bike rack at all, since I was unable to find it.

On a subsequent trip, I discovered Construction and maintenance costs the bike rack was actually being used as grew at a faster pace than inflation, while the gas tax was a fixed amount per part of the back wall for the shopping cart pen. It was unidentifiable as a gallon. Costs went up. Revenues went down. No amount of belt tightening can bike rack and functionally useless. The massive Costco shopping carts blocked reverse reality.

One assertion by tax-repeal advocates the way.

The good news is that Costco has is that more money should come from proposed a fix, albeit 19 years after its the feds. That’s both true and the initial commitment. By the time you height of cynicism at the same time. read this, new bike parking should be in Federal gas taxes have not increased place at Expo Parkway. since 1993. They were never indexed It does make you wonder, though, for inflation. The Highway Trust Fund, how many other new developments which is supposed to be self-sustaining, have failed to follow through on their has been running on fumes. It has promises for bike parking and other required rescue with general revenues needs. For bike riders who can’t find several times. bike parking, it may pay to ask.

How can the same people who never saw a federal program they liked now Walt Seifert is executive director of argue for a federal bailout from an Sacramento Trailnet, an organization empty bucket? California rightfully devoted to promoting greenways with acted when it had to. paved trails.

The transportation-funding mechanism put in place by Senate Bill 1 last year has already started pumping big dollars into the state’s beleaguered road system, focused mostly on repairing accumulated and inevitable wear and tear.

Transportation infrastructure is vital for a vibrant economy and public safety. The state has many potholed streets and, more worryingly, many structurally deficient bridges. Locally, potholes on Interstate 5 damage cars.

in August, is a tragic reminder of what can happen if maintenance is constantly deferred and left for another day.

Proponents of Proposition 6 say the fuel tax is unnecessary. Caltrans can just tighten its belt and squeeze billions of dollars for transportation out of its existing budget. Or maybe the federal government, instead of the state’s drivers, can pick up the tab and shovel lots more money into California’s infrastructure.

But you can’t get blood from a turnip, water from a dry well or whatever other metaphor you want to use for lack of money. The fact remains that road-maintenance backlogs in the state and California’s cities and counties are immense. It’s magical thinking to believe the huge maintenance backlog can be eradicated, based on the same inadequate budget that allowed needs to go unmet for so long in the first place.

California’s gas taxes didn’t increase for decades. At the same time, gas mileage in cars improved substantially and a sprinkling of electric cars joined the automotive fleet. Those factors meant less gas-tax revenue was available for every mile driven.

PEOPLE CAN AND SHOULD ARGUE ABOUT HOW TRANSPORTATION DOLLARS ARE SPENT.

Smart Design REMODEL TURNS DATED EAST SAC HOME INTO MODERN BEACH COTTAGE

H CR

By Cathryn Rakich Home Insight

IA OCT n 18

igh and low” is how interior designer Elizabeth Lake describes her style for remodeling her two-bedroom, one-bath home in East Sacramento. For example, she replaced the cabinets on one side of the kitchen with inexpensive open shelving from IKEA. But in the dining room, she went big with a modern, statement-making crystal chandelier by Baccarat.

“Buy quality when necessary, but be smart about it,” says Lake. “There are places you don’t need the best of the best and places you probably do.”

Choosing such an impressive light fixture for her nearly 2,000-square-foot home is fitting for an interior designer who specializes in lighting. Lake worked as showroom manager and lighting designer for Lumens in Midtown for 10 years before leaving last year to open her own business, Elizabeth Lake Interiors.

She purchased the cottage-style home, built in 1949, at the end of 2016, and wrapped up a four-month partial remodel before moving in.

Lake’s family history dates back five generations in Sacramento. Her great, great, great grandfather came

to Sacramento in 1842 and lived at Sutter’s Fort, according to Lake. While working toward a bachelor’s degree in interior design at Sacramento State, Lake took a break from the River City and commuted to Los Angeles for “the weather and the beach,” she says. “I thought there was something better out there, but realized there wasn’t.

Sacramento is home.”

Lake moved back to Sacramento and bought her first house in Tahoe Park, where she lived for five years before purchasing her current cottage. “It was my dream to live in East Sac,” she says.

“I wanted to live in a place where I was part of a community.”

Despite the charming neighborhood, “The home was a dump,” Lake says.

“Every wall had a different texture— most of it very heavy. It looked like they took mud and slapped it on the wall and swirled it around, then painted it all a dark green semi-gloss.” As a result, everything had to be resurfaced.

Lake is tackling the galley-style kitchen in two phases. For the first phase, she added a farmhouse sink with an industrial-style faucet, range hood, wine fridge and, of course, a crystal and brass pendant light over the sink. The granite countertops were in bad shape, but all they needed was a good cleaning.

For the second phase, Lake plans to bump the back wall out, allowing for the addition of a laundry/mudroom and a larger kitchen with an island, as well as a master bedroom with a bath. Phase two also will include refinishing the original hardwood floors, adding a gas insert to the fireplace and creating an outdoor dining/living area with a water feature.

Lake gutted the “Pepto-Bismol-pink bathroom” and implemented another example of her high-and-low design style. After installing an inexpensive stock medicine cabinet, she attached custom-cut mirrors and mounted sconces on each side. “Instead of spending a lot of money to have the walls tiled, I did wainscoting to add interest.”

For the bathroom floor, Lake discovered leftover Carrera-marble tiles, covered in dust, on a back shelf at Home Depot. Too few for the entire job, she traveled to eight different Home Depots in search of what she needed, then spent a little extra on a herringbone pattern. “I think it created a cool wow factor without spending a ton of money,” she says.

Lake’s love of anything beachy is evident throughout the home, with seashore décor and colors of white, grey and navy. To tie the rooms together, Lake used a single paint color—“Silver Polish” by Dunn Edwards. “It looks different in every room depending on the time of day, lighting, whether it’s sunny outside or not,” she says.

As an interior designer, Lake has participated in many local charity events, including the annual Sacred

47

Heart Holiday Home Tour, where she decorates an entire house. To store all the leftover decorations, plus her own holiday décor, Lake added a shed in the backyard. “I have a Christmas decoration problem,” she says with a laugh.

Lake could not be happier with the results of phase one. “It feels good in here,” she says. “There is a warmth and

friendliness that was very important to me. I want people to feel like they can come over any time, sit down and have a glass of wine. That’s why I moved to East Sac.” To recommend a house or garden for Home Insight, contact Cathryn Rakich at crakich@surewest.net. n

Lucky Horseshoe HUGHES STADIUM TURNS 90 WITH NO SIGNS OF DECLINE

Hughes Stadium

I

n about 32 years, the construction bonds that built Golden 1 Center will be paid off. Most likely, the place will be obsolete, or at least in serious decline, worn out and nearing the end of its useful lifespan. Modern arenas are only good for about 30 years these days. They don’t build sports palaces like they once did.

Our ancestors were different. They created arenas and stadiums to last—if not for an eternity, then for many generations.

To see how they did it, head down Freeport Boulevard and turn onto Sutterville Road. Along the railroad tracks is Sacramento’s legacy sports facility, a horseshoe structure that embodies the city’s entertainment history, having staged everything from the Oakland Raiders to motorcycle races, donkey softball, soccer, Triple A baseball and Pink Floyd.

Hughes Stadium turns 90 this month.

It was born Oct. 13, 1928, as Sacramento Junior College Stadium. The official christening was a football double-header, Sacramento High vs. Modesto in the warmup, Sacramento J.C. vs. Santa Rosa in the main event. The home team won twice.

The stadium cost $190,000, which sounds cheap but bought a lot of concrete and steel in 1928. It took a community effort to raise the money. A public lottery collected $65,000. The rest was borrowed from a bank, secured by a $12,500 annual lease paid by the city.

The stadium was Sacramento’s first big-time sports facility, capacity 22,333.

Civic leaders changed the name in 1944, when Sacramento City Unified School District took ownership and decided to honor its revered superintendent, Charles C. Hughes.

Los Rios Community College District assumed control in 1975, and remains the landlord today.

For everything that Hughes Stadium has given Sacramento, the place has received sporadic love in return. As the legendary Sacramento sports editor Bill Conlin wrote in 1991, “It seems somebody always wants it to be something it isn’t exactly. A grotesquely misshapen baseball field.

A motorcycle track. A midget car raceway. A soccer field. A one-night stand for rock bands. An echoing cavern for Metro League football games.”

There are other ways to judge Hughes. It reflects a city’s ambitions, thirst for entertainment and history

of sporting failures. Beyond the motorcycles and rock bands that packed the grounds until Land Park residents revolted over the noise, the stadium became a burial plot for teams that never succeeded.

Among the semipro, minor-league and under-capitalized football, baseball and soccer teams that called Hughes home were the Solons, Capitals, Senators, Statesmen, Buccaneers, Buffaloes, Spirit and Gold. The jury is still out on the Republic.

A 1977 retrofit saved the park from destruction after it flunked a seismic review. Another facelift in 2012 introduced a new track and artificial turf that gets mechanically fluffed and rejuvenated four times annually.

“It’s a showcase for the community,” says Paul Carmazzi, assistant athletic director at City College. “Hughes has never looked better.” Happy birthday!

to be with his fiancée. “But I think it spurs us on to do our work. It’s the question, ‘What’s going to happen when I paint this painting?’ It never comes out exactly as I intended. Making art is like playing golf—sometimes you tee it off and drive it in, another time it’s in the woods. But you have to be open

to the ebb and flow. Discovery is the biggest part.”

Emerson’s deep desire to explore his medium—often polymer on panel—is evident in his vibrant color play, as well as in the sharp lines and rhythmic patterns that Emerson describes as being “akin to the development of

music. Some of the paintings are bright and quick, some are slower and lyrical.”

The artist calls himself “damn local,” seeing as how he was born at Mercy Hospital and, but for a brief stint in LA, has called Sacramento home ever since. He has an eloquent yet clear way of describing both his style and

process, which comes in handy when he teaches classes at Sierra College and Sacramento City College. He also recently retired from his alma mater Sacramento State after teaching there for 16 years.

“I always tell my students that every time we make something, we make something different,” says Emerson, who earned his associate of arts degree at Sac City where he studied with local legends Gregory Kondos, Darrell Forney, Laureen Landau, Fred Dalkey and Larry Weldon. He went on to earn his BFA at Sacramento State and MFA at UC Davis, and did some coursework at the California College of Arts & Crafts in Oakland. “If there are 20 students all painting the same subject, there are going to be 20 distinct pieces of work being created.”

While Emerson has always been creative, observing his instructors at Sac City who were living the lives of artists spurred him to seek that life for himself.

“I saw them being professional, teaching and having shows on a regular basis, and I thought it looked like a good life,” Emerson says. “I thought, ‘This is what I want to do.’ But then I had to figure out what my art was about.”

A fascination with colors and their relationship to one another led him to Josef Albers’ iconic book “Interaction of Color,” which became a “guidepost” for Emerson as he developed his style.

As he progressed and decided he wanted more out of his artwork—to have it be “more demanding of viewer”—he switched to abstraction. And because he’d always responded to the geometric approach of pattern and line, he found his niche in geometric abstraction.

“The process starts in my sketchbook,” explains Emerson, who

works on small watercolors in a 7-by9-inch booklet during class while his students are working. “When I have a new show coming up, I refer to my notebooks—I have dozens of them now—to say, ‘Oh, I like that rhythm or repetitive thing happening in that sketch,’ and then I translate that to a larger piece.”

A rare exhibition of these watercolor sketches will be on display through Oct. 20 at JAYJAY gallery on Elvas Avenue alongside Emerson’s more traditional panel paintings and CSU Stanislaus professor Dean DeCocker’s wall sculptures. The painter says he’s working on a series of small pieces for the show—none larger than 24-by-24 inches—with compositions that are of the “symphonic variety with the counterpoint of jazz.” Namely, motifs of diamond shapes, stripes and rectangles.

“After I draw the painting out in pencil, I tape off different areas, paint those sections and move on,” says Emerson, whose most recent commissioned work can be seen hanging at the newly completed Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing on the campus of the UC Davis Medical Center. “When I’m working on something next to an area that’s taped off, I can’t see what’s next to it. When I remove the tape, I get to see if the colors work and readjust if necessary. Sometimes I realize I’ve never seen that color combination before. That’s what makes art so exciting—we can’t control it, which is why we keep going back to it.”

Check out Emerson’s work at markemerson.info and at JAYJAY gallery at 5524 Elvas Ave. during October.

Road to Repair HOW THE COUNTY KEEPS US MOVING WITH GAS TAX

T

his November, California voters will be presented with Proposition 6, which offers the choice to either retain or repeal Senate Bill 1—the so-called gas-tax increase.

Our purpose is not to argue pro or con about the measure. Instead, we want to present a fact-based assessment about what the added revenue has meant to the streets and roads of the unincorporated area of Sacramento County since SB 1 went into effect, and how its elimination or continuance will impact the county’s transportation system.

Prior to SB 1, road maintenance and infrastructure had been in decline for many years, due to funding shortages at the statewide level.

The state Legislature estimated a $130-billion backlog in total state and local road repairs, which led to SB 1.

SP

MJP MEV

By Susan Peters, Michael J. Penrose and Ron E. Vicari

Sacramento County’s Department of Transportation estimates the current pavement-maintenance backlog for the unincorporated area alone is now approximately $700 million and growing. The combined pavement backlog for all of the cities in Sacramento County is in excess of $375 million, which places the total need for our area (county and cities together) at $1.075 billion.

To date, Sacramento County has received partial-year funding of about $7.3 million under SB 1, with another $21 million expected in fiscal year 2018-19 for the unincorporated area.

This dollar amount will increase in future years. It’s estimated the county will receive an average of more than $24 million per year over the next 10 years.

The passage of Proposition 69 in June securely earmarked the gas-tax funding for transportation projects by ensuring money will not be diverted to non-transportation projects. The law gives local governments stability in planning future projects.

SACDOT evaluates conditions of the roadways in the unincorporated area and calculates a Pavement

Condition Index for each road and street. PCI values range from zero (very poor) to 100 (excellent). The current countywide average is 50 PCI. A value of 50 to 69 is considered fair condition. A value of 25 to 49 is considered poor condition.

The current average is somewhat misleading since newer subdivisions reflect better pavement and push up the average. Older areas are in disrepair and have not been repaved for 30 years or longer.

SB 1 funding provides a revenue stream we would not otherwise have to mitigate the continued deterioration of our roadway system.

Earlier this year, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors adopted a list of projects proposed to be funded

by SB 1 taxes during the current fiscal year. The list identifies 17 projects for road maintenance, roadway

and bridge rehabilitation, safety improvements, and improvements for bicycles, pedestrians and disabled access.

Sections of Eastern, Marconi and El Camino avenues are already being repaved. Without the revenue we receive from SB 1 funding, Sacramento County’s roadmaintenance budget will drop by more than $20 million per year.

Such a drop will make it even more difficult to address, in any effective manner, the deterioration all of us experience when driving the roads of the unincorporated area.

SB 1 includes public accountability and transparency requirements to ensure the funding generated by the tax is spent efficiently and improves the local roadway system.

The county will continue to prepare a report at the end of each fiscal year detailing the actual expenditure of SB 1 funds during the year. The report will include projects funded and the amount of funding expended. The report will be available to the public.

We also have established at sacdot. com a “Your Gas Taxes at Work” webpage that allows taxpayers to follow the projects funded under SB 1.

We hope this information helps residents understand the roadmaintenance backlog and how the SB 1 gas-tax increase is being used to address our roadway challenges.

We want everyone in Sacramento County to know how we spend gas-tax revenue, now and in the future, and how we will be accountable for those expenditures.

Susan Peters represents the Third District on the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors. Michael J. Penrose is the deputy county executive for infrastructure and public works for Sacramento County. Ron E. Vicari is the director of transportation for Sacramento County. n

SB 1 FUNDING PROVIDES A REVENUE STREAM WE WOULD NOT OTHERWISE HAVE TO MITIGATE THE CONTINUED DETERIORATION OF OUR ROADWAY SYSTEM.

Una Mas TACOS SPAN THE GLOBE AT NEW R STREET EATERY

60

IA OCT n 18

T

he brothers Wong—Mason, Alan and Curtis—are the driving force behind the MAC Hospitality Group, and they’re busy. In the MAC portfolio are such familiar names as Cafeteria 15L, Ma Jong’s Asian Diner, Iron Horse Tavern, MIX Downtown and The Park Ultra Lounge.

Their newest restaurant, Mas Taco Bar, is the first of several planned openings for the Wongs in the next few months. They hope to open two more Mas Taco Bars—at Palladio in Folsom and at Arden Town Center— and another Iron Horse Tavern also at Palladio.

Located next to the Iron Horse Tavern at 15th and R streets, the first Mas Taco Bar adds another fun spot to the bustling R Street corridor. The location, formerly held by Dos Coyotes Border Café, is at the heart of a district already packed with bars, clubs, restaurants and residences. With the soon-to-be-completed Ice Blocks project between 16th and 18th streets, the R Street corridor is only getting busier and livelier as the months go by.

The new taco concept fits in pretty darned well in the humming district.

The kitchen offers plenty of casual lunch fare for the hundreds of nearby state employees, and the bar serves an impressive cocktail lineup with extended hours for evening revelers who make R Street a regional destination.

By Greg Sabin Restaurant Insider

Make no mistake, though, this is no standard taqueria. The menu at Mas Taco Bar puts a global spin on the taco, taking inspiration from the Americas, Southeast Asia, India and more.

Take, for example, the Banh Mi Shrimp Taco. This clever item is a spin on the Vietnamese sandwich of the same name, a staple of Vietnamese street food. The taco takes fried shrimp and pairs it with crunchy pickled veggies, fresh cilantro, jalapeno and an Asian barbecue sauce, served on a pillowy-soft Chinese laughing bun. This dish is a winner all the way around.

A similar dish stuffs the same laughing bun with shrimp, cabbage, peanuts and red curry. The flavors are spot on and bright like the noonday sun. It’s another clever offering, this time with the flavors of Thailand as the jumping-off point.

Some offerings sit squarely in the “traditional taco” camp, like the fried fish taco that adds spicy avocado crema, grilled pineapple salsa and cabbage to the standard tortilla. The short-rib taco uses traditional Mexican seasonings and is topped with cilantro, onions and cotija cheese.

The majority of the menu, though, is a mashup of traditional Mexican preparations with inspired additions from the U.S. and Europe. The Drunken Chicken starts with barbecue staple “beer can chicken” and adds tomatillo.

The Steak and Egg pairs chili-lime skirt steak with a sunny-side-up egg, giving off a cheeky breakfast vibe. The Baja Fish takes blackened salmon and douses it with a Mexican hot sauce aioli.

The presentation is fun and inviting, with diners instructed to jot down their orders on a pad at their table. The server brings back a metal tray covered with tacos. It’s a great way to sample the fare and share it with your people.

Many of the taco recipes also can be converted to “bowls,” which contain brown rice, onions and peppers topped with the same fillings as the tacos. Also, a good sampling of salads and small plates can be had.

Surprisingly, desserts are a standout.

Or maybe not so much a surprise given the skill with which Iron Horse Tavern puts out the sweets just next door. The key lime tart is served, of course, in a mason jar, but the flavors could not be more on point, perfectly blending the tart, sour and sweet in every bite.

The churros, fried fresh and served with a Mexican chocolate ganache, are

a favorite of apparently everyone who works there.

The space, like the food, is cheeky and fun. The front patio is a perfect place to throw back a few expertly made cocktails (try the watermelon basil margarita) and watch the party roll by on R Street. If you’re in the Arden or Folsom area, count yourself lucky that a Mas Taco Bar is coming your way in just a few months.

Mas Taco Bar is located at 1800 15th St.; (916) 706- 1330; mastacobar.com.
