IT’S NO SECRET...

“

I was introduced to The Victoria’s Properties Team through a mutual friend as the best real estate team to list my Arden Park home on Las Pasas Way. The re-fresh and updating work they recommended was completed in just six weeks from our initial meeting, and followed by our first Open House. The accepted offer was negotiated within 10 days, and escrow closed 21 days later. I’m a very happy seller and you can be, too, working with Victoria’s Team. Call the team at 916-993-8248 today!

Meet Your New Dentist Jay Chalmers As a resident of Arden Park, I’ve worked hard to recreate the same “small-town” dental office that I experienced being raised in Placerville. My team is warm, friendly, experienced and we cater to those looking for a personal approach to healthcare. I want my patients to be comfortable, so I try to provide as many advanced services as possible, including root canals, gum surgery, implants and orthodontics. In the rare cases, I can’t provide these services, I have a network of incredible specialists who are also dedicated to excellence and patient comfort. As a father of two lovely daughters, I love being able to help children establish excitement and dedication to dental health from a young age. Prevention is the key to a beautiful smile for life! We welcome the young and young at heart at our office. No one is too young or old to deserve the best. I welcome you to drop by and visit my office at any time. We’ll give you a tour. I think you’ll like what you see.

How to Build Community IT’S EASIER THAN YOU THINK WITH THESE IDEAS

rowsing in a gift shop recently, I came across a lovely poster with the headline, “How to Build Community.” Given that building our community has been my mission for almost 30 years, I was naturally attracted to the message. The poster listed dozens of suggestions. Here they are, with some thoughts along the way. And I’d love to hear your ideas— email me and we’ll publish them in an upcoming edition. Turn off your TV: I gave up watching local news two decades ago, preferring to read and write about local news, watch council meetings, and get involved in local activities and projects. Leave your house: It’s easy to find solace in your own nest. But connecting with others is a vital part of our human condition. Know your neighbors: Neighborhood Watch programs started

a couple decades ago to help improve safety, security and communications. Knowing who lives around us should be everyone’s goal. Sit on your front porch: A simple activity that provides endless opportunities to better know your neighbors and understand your surroundings. Make sure your porch is clean and inviting for visitors who might stop by. Plant flowers: Even a few colorful touches will uplift your mood and brighten the day for people walking by. Look up when walking: With smartphones dominating our lives, this one act might save your life! Use your library: Libraries are far more than depositories for books. They are the center of neighborhood activities and programs for learning. Play together: Good advice for adults too. I’m not as playful as I’d like, so this will be my own challenge. Buy from local merchants: Those who advertise with Inside Sacramento offer the best in local products. In a world of Amazon and Google, always try to buy from merchants you know. The largest retail and tech companies in the world suck retail dollars from our neighborhoods and give nothing back.

Share what you have: We’ve never had more than three children in our home. But bigger families always manage to make do with less. I value the lessons kids learn from sharing. Help a lost dog: A friend who loves dogs told me to always carry a bag in the car with a leash and some treats. This can help you catch that stray dog you might encounter. Take children to the park: Even if you don’t have kids or grandkids, find someone else’s to join you and savor the joy of children at play. Garden together: Our nonprofit Friends of East Sacramento manages hundreds of volunteer gardeners each season. We have found group volunteer workdays are some of the most productive times in the garden. People learn from each other. Support neighborhood schools: Schools everywhere—especially in tougher neighborhoods—can use all the help they can get. Always say “yes” to kids raising money for schools. Fix it even if you didn’t break it: My husband can fix many things. There was a time when he could fix anything. And he cheerfully did when anyone approached him for help. Have potlucks: Whenever I invite folks for dinner, they always ask what

to bring. Take them up on it. You can enjoy meals with guests more often. Honor elders: My husband is 90, and tells me with age he has often felt ignored or invisible. Always reach out to greet and help the elderly and infirm in your life. Pick up litter: This is easy if you are prepared. I have a friend who loves to clean up public spaces. Gloves and plastic bags in his car mean he’s always prepared. Read stories aloud: We did this with our kids. But now my husband and I read a spiritual message every morning. It sparks wonderful conversations. Dance in the park: Or do yoga. Or take a nap on a towel. Or layout and just enjoy the weather. Talk to the mail carrier: My sonin-law is a postal carrier. He says many people hardly make eye contact with him on his daily route. Listen for the birds: Our cool mornings—even in the hot summer— are perfect for keeping our bedroom windows open. The best time is before anyone else is up. Put up a swing: I’m planning a new home design and landscape. I’ll work in a place for this relaxing activity.

Redwood City & Sacramento Help carry something heavy: Two sets of hands are better than one. Most injuries occur when carrying or lifting something. Barter for your goods: Bartering is as old as humanity, and relies on positive relationships rather than anonymous purchasing. Not everyone appreciates it, but it doesn’t hurt to ask nicely. Start a tradition: It can be anything you enjoy and want to repeat with others. Monthly dinners. Weekly walks. Your favorite food at special times. Get creative and make plans. Ask a question: I love to “interview” people. It helps break the ice, especially with shy folks. People love to talk about themselves or things they know. Hire young people for jobs: I started working as a babysitter when I was 12. Every job I had until after college helped prepare me for my adult and professional life. Look around and find a youngster who can assist with a task or small job. Carry cash: You never know when it might come in handy to satisfy a generous impulse!

block parties around their pool. When they moved away, we took over this job for a decade. Our neighbors knew and appreciated each other best during those years. Make extra and share: Items you cook or make are perfect for sharing, as are fresh fruits and veggies from the garden or farmers market. Ask for help when you need it: My husband Jim struggles with this the most! I tell him it’s a way for others to feel useful and helpful—it’s a blessing to others. Open your shades: Energy conservation is good, but so is a neighborhood filled with life and activities inside every home. Sing together: My favorite part of going to church each week is singing while surrounded by other congregants. It’s the only time I sing anymore and it always feels cathartic. Christmas concerts are a great place to sing. Share your skills: With a long publishing and nonprofit career behind me, I often get asked for advice. I don’t have time for every request. But when I help, I never regret the time it took. What skill could you share? Take back the night: Every August the nation celebrates National Night Out. Make sure you do something

outside with neighbors at least once a year. Turn up the music: But not so loud that your neighbors can hear something they’d rather not! Support your local churches: Sadly, church attendance has been dropping. But I know how much churches strengthen the fabric of our communities. They care for our needs from birth to death and every stage in between. Listen before you react to anger: We’ve all known folks who do this and how hurtful it can be. When I suspect somebody might respond with anger, I say “I’ve got something to say that might upset you. Can you hear me through and then we can calmly discuss it?” Mediate a conflict: I’ve tried this a few times and it worked out well. A neutral outsider can bring perspective. Seek to understand: I recently heard this is much easier if you strive for true understanding—rather than agreement—as a goal. Learn from new and uncomfortable angles: Getting

outside of our ingrained thinking is tough, especially as we age. Working on the development of our new website this year was a huge challenge for me mentally. It was like being forced to learn Norwegian at age 63! Do something nice and unexpected: My husband walked by the ice cream counter at Rite Aid the other day and saw a grandma and her 11 grandchildren. She was trying to figure out if she could afford one cone for each child. When she came up short, Jim heard her disappointment, stepped in and handed the clerk a $20 bill. Grandma and the kids were thrilled. Jim said he had the best day as a result! Our motto at Inside is simple: Every day is a good day to make your neighborhood a better place.

he next time you’re Downtown, stop by Capital Athletic Club and check out the wall along P Street for a brand-new mural installed last month during Wide Open Walls. The mural by Stephanie Taylor depicts two of Sacramento’s most wellloved artists—former Sacramento Ballet co-artistic directors and married couple Ron Cunningham and Carinne Binda. The image depicts the two having a tête-à-tête while dancers rehearse in the background. “We developed a wonderful relationship with the Capital Athletic Club approximately 28 years ago,” says Cunningham, who’s still choreographing all over the country. “We did an annual spring performance in their gym every year in exchange for our dancers having the ability to use the gym. Our dancers benefited and the CAC membership loved seeing our beautiful dancers gracefully working out. The annual performances always culminated with standing ovations.”

WOODLAKE HOME TOUR The first-ever home tour of Sacramento’s Woodlake neighborhood will take place Sunday, Sept. 15,

ROSE GARDEN PHOTO CONTEST Since Friends of East Sacramento took over the restoration and management of the McKinley Rose Garden in 2013, the nonprofit has sponsored an annual photo contest of pictures taken during the peak bloom month of May. The contest is open to the public, and attracts both amateur and professional photographers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had 317 photos submitted this year from more than 100 people,â&#x20AC;? says contest judge Aniko Kiezel, who shoots for Inside Sacramento and whose work is featured in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Sacramento: The

Most Interesting Neighborhood Places in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm-to-Fork Capital.â&#x20AC;? Kiezel says every year the quality of the photos gets better, making it difficult to select a limited number of winners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year one of our volunteers, Frank Matanzo, told us that his son-inlaw was a winner,â&#x20AC;? garden manager Lyn Pitts reports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His family members were visiting and snapping photos one day and I got to meet them.â&#x20AC;? Kiezel awarded nine honorable mentions and three top prize winners, which are published in this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inside Sacramento and online at InsideSacramento.com.

POSITIVE NOTE FOR SAC BALLET When the Dance Data Project released its annual report about gender representation in choreography presented by the nation’s top 50 ballet companies, the Sacramento Ballet received special notice. Sac Ballet was cited as one of five companies with the most works by women in both the 20182019 and 2019-2020 seasons. “Our research shows often the most noteworthy and inclusive work is staged by smaller, regional companies,” DDP director of research Isabelle Vail says. “This should incite critics to travel

outside of the big cities and report on regional programming.” The report mentions the Sac Ballet as a “positive example” for commissioning the only full-length, main-stage, world premiere by a woman in the 2018-2019 season (artistic director Amy Seiwert’s reimagining of “The Nutcracker”). “While our research shows only 19 percent of works will be choreographed by women this season, there are reasons to be hopeful,” DDP founder and president Liza Yntema says. “It can be done, and we need to see more opportunities like this for women in the ballet.” For more information, visit dancedataproject.com.

PAVING OUR ROADS The Sacramento County Department of Transportation continues to be busy with repaving many of our local streets thanks to road-maintenance funding provided by the SB 1 gas tax. Projects include the intersection of Watt and El Camino; the Arden Manor neighborhood bordered by Morse, Arden, Watt and Hurley; and the area bordered by Morse, Watt, Wemberley and Northrop. Next year, work is expected to occur on Marconi from Eastern to Walnut; Ashton from Saverien to Wixford; Saverien from American River Drive to Fair Oaks Boulevard; Watt from Cottage to El Camino; California from Oak to Palm; Barberry from Morse to Watt; and Holly from Crocker to Larch. The gas-tax funds will go a long way in halting the deterioration of the unincorporated area’s roadways. And passage of Proposition 69 in 2018 ensures the gas tax is securely

earmarked for transportation and will not be diverted to non-transportation projects. SACDOT currently estimates a $750 million maintenance backlog, which means the problem must be tackled with an incremental approach.

For information on current and future projects paid for by SB 1, as well as the latest on each project’s progress, visit sacdot.com, under Projects & Programs, then Gas Tax At Work. More projects will be added as funding becomes available.

County Supervisor Susan Peters (right) honors Randall Selland and Nancy Zimmer of The Kitchen for earning Sacramento’s ﬁrst Michelin star.

LANE CLOSURES With all the new paving, there is bound to be traffic obstacles and delays that can make driving frustrating. Sacramento County Department of Transportation can send you electronic updates regarding lane closures for streets and roads located within the unincorporated area. These notices do not include state highways (Jackson, Highway 50 and I-80) or every county roadway. For details on current lane closures or to sign up for notices, visit sacdot. com, under Roadways, then Road & Lane Closures.

NEW CARMICHAEL PARK PLAYGROUND The Carmichael Recreation and Park District recently held a ribboncutting ceremony to unveil the new and improved playground equipment installed at Carmichael Park. The impressive climbing apparatus, swings and much more are engineered for fun and safety. The new structure is a step up from the old metal pipe-androd “jungle gym” of my youth.

MICHELIN STAR IN ARDEN-ARCADE The Kitchen, the flagship of Selland Family Restaurants, which also owns Ella, OBO’ Italian Table & Bar and Selland’s Market-Café, recently became the first and only Michelin-starred Sacramento-area restaurant. This puts The Kitchen in elite company joining only a few dozen other restaurants in the first-ever statewide California guide. The famed culinary establishment is located at 2225 Hurley Way in the unincorporated community of ArdenArcade. Gourmets and self-described foodies say The Kitchen provides a balance between adventure and comfort through new ingredients and innovative dishes. Guests enjoy the experience and hospitality extended by chef Randall Selland, son Josh Nelson who manages the business side, daughter Tamera Baker who manages the brand and design aspects, and Selland’s wife Nancy Zimmer who acts as the glue for the family-run operation. The Board of Supervisors recently recognized The Kitchen for this outstanding accomplishment in a special ceremony. To learn more about the restaurant, visit thekitchenrestaurant. com.

MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR HOMELESS Untreated mental health conditions and substance use can be contributing factors to homelessness. Connecting individuals to mental health services and alcohol/drug treatment can be key to helping resolve homelessness. Last month, Sacramento County Behavioral Health Services expanded access at emergency homeless shelters for individuals with serious mental illness by providing mental health and drug/alcohol assessments, and connections to services. Licensed clinical social workers provide in-person office hours at various emergency shelters. These new office hours allow individuals to talk to a clinician when they are ready to seek treatment services. After meeting with a social worker, individuals are given a recommended plan and link to contracted providers for ongoing services or referrals to appropriate resources to meet their needs. Sacramento County Behavioral Health Services worked with longstanding local emergency shelters to create a schedule of designated office hours at the different shelter locations. This approach brings behavioral health services to the homeless when and where they are ready for help. Having a social worker on-site at shelters provides a consistent in-person response to many who may not otherwise make a call for help.

The in-person clinical screening services are provided at emergency shelters operated by the Salvation Army, Sacramento Self-Help Housing, Next Move, Volunteers of America Housing Services and Wind Youth Services.

Sotiris Kolokotronis

A View for Rooms DEVELOPER REBOUNDS WITH FOCUS ON CITY CORE

GD By Gary Delsohn Building Our Future

IA SEP n 19

he Tsakopoulos name is prominent on some admired Downtown landmarks, with good reason. A gift from Angelo Tsakopoulos in his wife’s honor closed a financing gap at The Sofia B Street Theatre complex on Capitol Avenue. Not far away, he helped

fund the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria on I Street. But another member of the family, Angelo’s nephew Sotiris Kolokotronis, who freely admits he moved from his native Greece to Sacramento because the California capital seemed like a

good place to make money, has had more to do with shaping Downtown’s renaissance than just about anyone. For the irrepressibly upbeat and optimistic Kolokotronis—he took a hard fall in the last recession when the market wasn’t as enthusiastic as he was—his recent success is as sweet as a slice of baklava. “You never know how things come together,” the 60-year-old developer said during a recent interview at a Midtown restaurant. “You throw different things at the wall and something will stick. But as far as rediscovering the urban core, someone else said, you need to go through hell to get to heaven. I use that comment all the time. You really need to hit rock bottom sometimes for things to come back together, and it looks like we’re getting there.” That is probably an understatement for the city’s core and for Kolokotronis himself. When he made headlines a few years ago, the news was all about financial setbacks and dashed plans. Now he is proudly showing off new apartment buildings, lofts, visionary urban infill, big ideas for future projects and an energetic vision for the city’s core. As City Councilmember Steve Hansen, whose district includes Downtown and Midtown, put it, “Sotiris has been the most consequential and prolific developer of infill housing in the central city, not only because of his buildings, but also because he’s inspired others to tackle complicated and ambitious projects, too. The sum of his impact can be seen in the increased vibrancy and quality of life in Midtown, 16th Street and the eastern R Street corridor.” Factor in the impact of his wife— Matina Kolokotronis is chief operating officer for the Sacramento Kings and was heavily involved in planning Golden 1 Center—the Kolokotronis legacy is even more impressive.

it's back

Over two hundred ambitious women will gather to be empowered, inspired, and transformed.

After a development career that started in Sacramento’s sprawling suburbs in Folsom and Laguna, Kolokotronis and his partners have brought to the center city 501 residential units and 31,400 square feet of retail, with another 467 residential units and 9,000 square feet of retail under construction. Finished projects include the Fremont Building, Capitol Park Homes, lofts at 1801 L Street, Q19 apartments and much more. His apartment building on the Q Street site of The Sacramento Bee’s old parking garage will be the city’s biggest. And he’s been deeply involved with the special assessment districts that pay for a variety of Downtown amenities and services, making it impossible to walk 100 yards with Kolokotronis and not be stopped by well-wishers, friends, colleagues and people who seem to love the guy and his big-hearted personality. His SKK Developments has other big projects in the works. While Kolokotronis is quick to credit city planners and fellow developers, such as Michael Heller and Mark Friedman for their positive impact on Downtown, no one has done more to build the housing needed to serve people and attract restaurants and other commerce.

Go Downtown on just about any night and you’ll find people enjoying the amenities, walking around, socializing, spending money and giving the city a sense of place it didn’t always have. It’s a far cry from the time Kolokotronis first brought his future wife to Sacramento after proposing to her in 1986. When she asked where Downtown was after a trip to Natomas, he told her, “We just passed it.” For Kolokotronis, Downtown started on its current revival in the early 2000s, when the state built its massive East End office complex near the Capitol. The monolithic project was a missed opportunity to bring a more pedestrianscaled ambience to the core. But by collecting thousands of state workers in one general area and getting rid of many run-down buildings, Downtown began its transformation. The outgoing developer has been riding this latest wave for more than a few years and shows no signs of slowing down. His good fortune has been the city’s good fortune as well.

A Separate Peace BETTER ANGELS BRINGS CIVILITY TO POLITICS

BY TAB BERG

merica is binging on outrage because liberals are arrogant elitists recklessly opening our borders and bankrupting the country, while conservatives are hateful bigots bent on destroying the environment and oppressing poor people. Neither statement is true, but both stereotypes feed the outrage addiction that has become the default narrative of public dialogue. For far too many Americans, political discussions have devolved into attacking the “other side” with troll-inspired slams and belittling tweets—where scoring a “burn” on a political opponent is valued more than finding solutions or even being truthful. There is a better way. Instead of forcing Americans to choose between warring ideological tribes, we can engage the “better angels of our nature” by acknowledging our differences and embracing our similarities. Rather than escalating the fight, we can depolarize America. Depolarization sounds like a Madison Avenue word, but it simply means we can learn to listen respectfully to people with different political views and engage honestly and civilly with those with whom we disagree. Better Angels is not another summit of academics or a photo-op for politicians. It is citizen-to-citizen advocacy focused on breaking the cycle of political retribution and partisanship at the grassroots level.

IA SEP n 19

Unlike efforts to assign blame or browbeat people, Better Angels embraces ideological differences and focuses on returning civility to political disagreement. The program is based on the premise that there is value in honest, civil debate. We may even find that when partisan anger and recrimination are washed away, there is more that unites than divides us. And it’s working. More than 1,000 “Red-Blue” workshops across the country have helped thousands of citizens listen without fear and speak without rebuke. Sacramento’s Better Angels Alliance has become a leading force in this national movement, cohosting the National Convention and spearheading new efforts and programing. But we have a long way to go and need a lot more people to join the effort. Better Angels Sacramento provides something that has become rare: a place where both conservatives and liberals can come together and realize it’s OK to disagree. On May 17, in living rooms, community halls and churches across America, Better Angels premiered a documentary film of the first “Red-Blue” workshop held weeks after the 2016 election. Seven Republicans who supported Donald Trump and seven Democrats who supported Hillary Clinton got together to talk. At the start, none of the participants believed it was possible to have a rational discussion with the other side. After the Better Angels workshop, they told a different story.

The documentary proves people can find humanity in others. Even those who see the world differently are still patriotic Americans. That success has been repeated hundreds of times, and we’re now showing the documentary in churches, community centers and theaters across the Sacramento region. These “Red-Blue” workshops are the cornerstone of the Better Angels movement. More than 400 Sacramento citizens have participated. We’re taking the lessons learned in the workshops to further bridge the divide. Skills workshops teach progressives how to talk with conservatives and vice versa. Better Angels is hosting debates to demonstrate that issues the media label “divisive” can be discussed without rancor. The first debate was held in Carmichael in May, where more than 50 residents met for a parliamentary debate on Sanctuary Cities. After the event many participants said they gained a better understanding of how “the other side” felt. Few changed their position, but the goal was not to change minds or beat the other side into submission. The goal was to strengthen civic bonds and prove we can discuss difficult issues. Better Angels is not a political panacea. It’s not designed to solve all of our problems. Instead, we’re focused on the premise that division and polarization make it difficult to have a discussion about the challenges facing America. Public engagement is vital for democracy, but we are displacing engagement with gladiatorial politics.

We’ve allowed politicians and the media to stick us into bunkers and goad us into waging war against each other—or disengage from politics (and each other) altogether. Yet, studies show most Americans believe the bonds that bind us together are stronger than the divisions that tear us apart. We can strengthen those bonds and solve real problems by engaging the better angels of our nature—or we can continue to feed the worst impulses of our demons and continue to tear the country apart. For information on Better Angels Sacramento, visit betterangelssacramento.org. Join Better Angels Sacramento for a Debate on Healthcare in America, Sunday, Sept. 8, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the North Highlands-Antelope Library in Antelope. Unlike traditional debates where people compete to win, these are structured conversations where everyone thinks and listens together to grapple with a difficult issue. Participants are encouraged to express their views, while behaving respectfully toward one another.

Becoming Aware BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION VOLUNTEER CONNECTS WITH COMMUNITY

Melinda Carson

IA SEP n 19

or Melinda Carson, relationships are key. Whether in her former capacity as executive director of the Sacramento and Northeastern California Make-A-Wish Foundation or as current volunteer extraordinaire for the Albie Aware Breast Cancer Foundation, Carson knows that

connecting with the community is crucial. “Relationships open doors,” says Carson, who has worked with Albie Aware since its inception in 2004 when her husband Doug founded the organization in memory of his late wife Albie, who lost her battle with breast cancer on July 4, 2002.

“Making connections in the community can help you raise money, certainly, but it can also provide an opportunity to do something really special for survivors and their families.” Carson says that when she and Doug first got together, she was very aware that Albie was going to remain an integral part of their lives. “I was coming into someone’s life after many years of a wonderful marriage,” she explains. “Her family was becoming mine.” Carson jumped in right away, helping build up the board and selling tickets to events that provide funds for lifesaving services. Albie Aware is aptly named—it aims to make men and women more aware of cancer-prevention methods and diagnostic tests. (Had Albie received a positron-emission tomography scan, it could have detected her recurrence more quickly, giving her medical team a better chance to treat the cancer that eventually claimed her life.) The organization also encourages early detection through self-examination and annual mammograms beginning at age 40—earlier if there is a strong family history—and provides financial assistance as well as advocacy when testing isn’t covered by insurance. Always full of ideas, Carson started new fundraising campaigns, such as Survivor of the Year (which has since morphed into Albie Champions) in which businesses, organizations, families and individuals form teams in honor of their chosen breast cancer “champions” to see who can collect the most donations. In 2020, Carson and her husband will co-chair the Rose Awards, which have historically honored outstanding volunteers but now recognize people in the community connected with Albie Aware to help share their stories. This year’s recipient will be breast cancer survivor Jim Bowman.

“Events open the door to people who have never heard of you,” Carson says. Which leads to new relationships, of course. For more information, visit albieaware.org.

Stand-Up Guy FORMER SACRAMENTAN MAKES A NAME FOR HIMSELF IN COMEDY Grant Lyon

comedy club owner once told Grant Lyon that to get booked, he needed three things: to be very funny, to be easy to work with and to be able to sell tickets. “I can’t sell tickets yet,” Lyon says, “but two out of three is still pretty good.” “Pretty good” is an understatement of Lyon’s comedy career. Since he started dabbling in stand-up in college at UC Santa Cruz, he’s made a steady rise in the industry, which includes being named a New Faces of Comedy at the Just For Laughs Festival, winning the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival and making it to the finals in the Big Sky Festival. The 35-year-old was also recently featured in the second season of the Comedy Central show “Corporate” and he stars in the upcoming feature film “Killer Kate!” Not bad for a guy who started doing stand-up on a whim. “I’ve always liked making people laugh,” says Lyon, who attended Sacramento Country Day School for his last two years of high school before pursuing collegiate soccer at UCSC. “I

didn’t think I could be a comedian—I didn’t know it was an option. My family has a good sense of humor, but it’s not like my parents had old George Carlin and Steve Martin comedy albums sitting around.” In Lyon’s freshman year of college, his roommate made him listen to an album by the late comedian Mitch Hedberg, who was known for his surreal humor and unconventional, often deadpan, delivery of one-liners. Lyon was hooked. He reports that he burned a copy of the album and listened to it as he walked around campus, committing the material to memory. When he started telling Hedberg’s jokes to friends, Lyon was surprised at the reaction. “The start of my sophomore year, our soccer team did its pre-season in Costa Rica,” Lyon says. “The last night there, people started getting up and telling knock-knock jokes on the tour bus mic and someone said, ‘Grant, do some Mitch Hedberg.’ I did probably 30 minutes and it felt great. Even then, I didn’t think, ‘I’m funny’—I was just delivering this other guy’s jokes. But then my soccer coach said he wanted to

see me write some original material, so I did. I started going to open mics around campus, and in January 2005 I decided to commit to comedy.” Soon, Lyon was performing around the Bay Area, making a name for himself with his mix of “intellectual but silly” personal and social commentary at festivals like the Great American Comedy Festival, Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival and Bridgetown Comedy Festival. The Los Angeles native eventually decided that a return to his hometown would yield even more opportunities—and he was right. In the eight years since he’s been back in LA, Lyon has performed on the TV show “Comics Unleashed” and appeared in a number of national commercials for AT&T, Johnsonville Sausage, Cicis pizza and more. He wrote and starred in a short film, and his sketch videos have been featured online for Funny or Die, MSN and Huffington Post. “Because we live in a day and age with so many media outlets, the idea of getting one big break doesn’t exist anymore,” says Lyon, who regularly

returns to Sacramento to headline at Punch Line Comedy Club (his mom still lives in Rosemont). “Everybody in the entertainment business has to think of themselves as content creators. You have to do a lot of things to make a living. Standup can’t be the only thing I create, so I do sketch videos, podcasts. I’m writing a book. I designed a board game prototype. You can never rest on your accomplishments.” But you still have to acknowledge when hard work pays off. “I try to take moments to celebrate the small victories,” Lyon says. “It’s easy not to—intelligent, hardworking people expect a lot of themselves. But I’m trying to do a better job of taking the time to say, ‘This is really cool.’” Jessica Laskey can be reached at jessrlaskey@gmail.com.

New Holistic Senior Living Community Coming Soon THE WOODLAKE OFFERS INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH TO ASSISTED LIVING AND MEMORY CARE By Cecily Hastings

cheduled to open in early 2020, excitement is building for the area’s newest option in senior housing—The Woodlake. Managed by Leisure Care, a nationally recognized leader in the senior housing industry for more than four decades, The Woodlake brings to Sacramento’s Woodlake neighborhood a unique and refreshing approach to senior living…and a whole lotta heart. “We enjoy a wonderful reputation from our 35 years of industry experience,” says Michelle Swearingen, Woodlake’s general manager. “Our employees are passionate and knowledgeable about creating a healthy and fun environment for our residents.” The Woodlake offers assisted living, but it’s a bit more personalized and flexible. Services include help with bathing, medication management, mobility and escort assistance, care coordination and more, and they are always delivered with warmth, compassion and a smile. “We are committed to delivering quality care with a generous heart,” says Melissa Cannone, health & wellness director, with more than seven years’ experience in assisted living. For those with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, The Woodlake offers Opal, Leisure Care’s signature memory-care program. Touching on seven pillars of wellness (physical, social, experiential, emotional and spiritual, creativity, therapeutic and sensory), Opal allows care staff to get to know each resident personally, drawing on his or her life story and providing programming and experiences that give meaning and purpose to each day. “We develop a personalized and comprehensive care plan to elevate the quality of life and promote independence safely,” says Cannone. In addition to providing excellent care, The Woodlake offers residents plenty of opportunity for socialization, engagement and fun. Onsite amenities include everything from dining venues, including a bistro, to a theater, PrimeFit gym, Health & Wellness Center, spa and salon, game and activity spaces, and more. But life at The Woodlake extends far beyond the front doors. Residents enjoy activities such as trips to the theater, outings to the ballpark and excursions to farmers markets. The Woodlake also offers residents and their family members access to Travel by Leisure Care, where personal travel agents are on hand to plan everything from a family member visiting from out of town to a Caribbean cruise. “Our programing is designed to help you live as independently as possible, with a person-centered, holistic approach, so your golden years can be your best years,” says Stephanie Dodds, sales manager.

In addition, the first 50 people to move into the community will become members of the Trailblazer Club and receive priority apartment selection and an amazing move-in package that includes up to $3,000 off their first month’s rent, among other perks. Qualification details apply, so please call (916) 415-8097 or visit thewoodlake.com today to learn more.

Editor’s Note: The following article, originally published in October 2017, has been updated with the latest data.

complexity of human nature, both its positive and negative elements. She’s closely attuned to the players, policies and politics involved with homeless issues in Sacramento. Because she has an abiding human compassion and innate common sense (an alltoo-rare combination), I sought her perspective when I began studying the city’s stumbling responses to the homelessness problem. She had one piece of advice: Go to San Antonio. What she meant was that I should visit Haven for Hope, a 22-acre comprehensive homeless facility near downtown San Antonio. In 2017, I spent a week in that city while attending a conference. I scheduled an extended tour of Haven for Hope with Laura Calderon, the organization’s insightful and frank director of external relations.

OVERVIEW OF HAVEN FOR HOPE Haven for Hope, built in 2010, is the largest facility of its kind, caring for almost 1,600 people nightly in a sprawling campus. It’s the nation’s most highly acclaimed homeless facility. Officials from more than 300 U.S. cities have visited to learn how the Haven model works and to assess whether its approach would be a good fit for their communities. Haven differs from other facilities in its innovative two-step approach to caring for the homeless, as well as its comprehensive approach to helping homeless individuals transform their lives. Haven for Hope is not in the business of just warehousing people.

HAVEN’S TRANSFORMATIONAL CAMPUS Haven for Hope is clear about its mission: to transform lives, not merely ameliorate the immediate problem of homelessness. Unlike most homeless programs, Haven is focused on aggressively addressing the root causes of homelessness, which are as varied as the colors of the rainbow: drug addiction, alcoholism, mental illness, bad luck, medical crises, sudden joblessness, domestic abuse, domestic disintegration, the unique challenges facing disconnected LBGTQ youth, and the rebellious among us who choose a life off the grid. The heavy lifting of helping people work through the root causes of homelessness takes place in the “Transformational Campus,” a series of renovated industrial warehouses

housing 65 affiliated service agencies and nonprofits that implement the highly individualized care plans crafted by case managers for each new participant. Eighty-five referral partners provide services to Haven’s residents. There are typically 1,000 volunteers working on the campus each month.

FIRST STEP: THE COURTYARD The typical entry point is through the outdoor Courtyard. It is a large, open-air covered patio. It’s equipped with heavy-duty fans and misters to keep down ambient temperatures. Indoor facilities are made available to Courtyard occupants during periods of inclement weather. Only basic services are provided in the Courtyard: regular meals, laundry access, sleeping pads, health care triage and mental health care services, as well as lockers for personal belongings. Sobriety is not a requirement at the Courtyard. It is a largely safe resting and sleeping place for those not ready to meet the requirements for entry into the Transformational Campus. Petty theft is a problem. The Courtyard is patrolled by Haven security and off-duty San Antonio police officers. If someone is willing to commit to sobriety and agrees to comply with the Transformational Campus’ rules for participation, they are typically admitted to the Transformational Campus. Once admitted, they are closely monitored in their early days to ensure they remain sober. Haven staffers acknowledge slips are often a part of recovery. They don’t result in summary dismissal. Staffers are committed to each resident’s success. More than 6,000 people have moved from the Courtyard to higher levels of residential care, including sobriety programs, mental health and other forms of supportive or permanent housing, since Haven’s opening in 2010. The contrast between the basic Courtyard and the more supportive Transformational Campus provides a strong incentive for homeless people to transfer to the Campus.

SUCCESS IN ENDING HOMELESSNESS: EMPLOYMENT OF RESIDENTS In the program’s first seven years, 3,682 people exited the

IA SEP n 19

Transformational Campus and moved to permanent housing. The average length of stay was 162 days for single people and 134 days for families. After one year, 90 percent of people who exited with a housing placement did not return to homelessness, an extraordinary track record. More than 2,262 individuals attained employment in Haven’s first seven years. In the January 2019 federally mandated “point-in-time” count, Haven had 853 people in Transformational Campus facilities, and 565 in the open Courtyard.

IMPACT ON RESIDENTS AND SAN ANTONIO COMMUNITY How effective has Haven for Hope been in reducing homelessness in San Antonio? After Haven’s first year of operation, the point-in-time count in downtown San Antonio declined from 738 to 254. In the January 2019 count, the number was 252. Because Haven provides comprehensive health care to residents and nonresidents, including mental health programs, detox services and recovery programs, it has become the care facility of choice for San Antonio police dealing with public inebriates. More than 50,000 people have received such potentially life-saving detox services at Haven’s Restoration Center, relieving city and county jails, emergency rooms and courtrooms of an estimated $97 million in taxpayer costs, according to Haven estimates. Haven’s In-House Recovery Program provides housing and support for those with drug and alcohol addictions. Since opening in October 2010, the program has had a success rate of 56 percent, which exceeds the average completion rate of 44 percent for such programs. Through its in-house mental health wellness programs, one for men and another for women, Haven has a combined success rate of 44 percent. Haven has developed joint projects with San Antonio Police, including Haven’s Jail Release Program and the Center for Health Care Services’ Jail Diversion Program, which has resulted in sharp drops in the number of jail bookings. Jail bookings dropped 3,300 in Haven’s first year, with drops of 800 and 1,700 in 2016 and 2017. Haven’s Restoration Center allows police to quickly divert injured prisoners to the center’s on-site minoremergency clinic instead of to hospital ERs, minimizing the time officers

spend in emergency rooms. The city estimates that the value of getting those officers quickly back on the street is approximately $2 million annually. Most health clinics operating at Haven are open to the public free of charge; the public makes more than 40,000 visits to Haven for medical, dental and vision care services annually.

ENGAGED PRIVATE SECTOR FUNDED MOST OF DEVELOPMENT COSTS Haven for Hope was built at a cost of $100.5 million. Here’s a stunning fact: More than 60 percent of its construction cost ($60.1 million) was funded by private sources ($22.5 million by the city of San Antonio, $11 million by Bexar County and $6.1 million by the state of Texas). Its construction served to create 190 permanent new jobs at Haven and another 150 new jobs created by its affiliate nonprofits, as well as 465 construction jobs. Haven for Hope is heavily supported by the private sector: 50 percent of its $18.6 million annual operating budget is funding by private-sector donors, 27 percent by the state, 16 percent by city government, 4 percent by county government and 3 percent by the federal government. Of the privatesector sources of operations funding, the United Way contributes 8 percent, private contributions account for 21 percent, and 21 percent is provided by two private foundations, one of which is largely funded by the extraordinary visionary who created Haven for Hope, William E. Greehey, retired CEO of San Antonio-based Valero Energy.

HAVEN’S SECRET SAUCE: BUSINESS COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP In 2005, Greehey was nearing retirement and eager to help his community. According to an interview in the Los Angeles Times, he was inspired by a local television report on homelessness. “What I saw was that all we were doing is recycling the homeless people that would go to jail, come out of jail, get sick, go to the emergency room, get treated, get back to the street. We weren’t doing anything to address the root cause of why these people were homeless,” he said. He spent the next five years developing his ambitious vision for Haven for Hope, a first-of-its-kind

facility in terms of scope of services, size and degree of collaboration required by nonprofit and agency partners. He brought San Antonio’s mayor and city manager on board as early supporters. He corralled support from San Antonio’s business community and leaders, and experts in homeless services. He used his experience in industrial development and executive leadership to move his vision from dream to reality.

A MODEL SACRAMENTO SHOULD CONSIDER In my August 2017 column, I recounted the failure of homelessness policies in almost every major city on the West Coast, while public spending by West Coast cities to “solve” their homeless problem has been skyrocketing. In my September 2017 column, I chronicled the seemingly endless fights and disagreements in Sacramento over how to best deal with homeless issues, with Mayor Darrell Steinberg scrambling to spend money as quickly as possible on largely untested scattershot approaches. Since then, the problem has only become worse. San Antonio’s model, Haven for Hope, is transforming lives, dramatically reducing homelessness, improving health outcomes, moving people into permanent housing, increasing employment and dramatically reducing costs to taxpayers. A Haven for Hope facility in Sacramento would require strong private-sector leadership, free of the political angles that color and contaminate the search for sound solutions. Private-sector capital is essential to bringing such a vision to life in Sacramento. The Sacramento business community has no shortage of visionary, talented business leaders. Here is a perfect opportunity for one of them to make a real difference.

the natural cycle of composting, David Baker developed ReSoil Sacramento. Baker moved to Sacramento from the Bay Area and started working at Selland’s Market Cafe as a wine steward. While in the Bay Area, Baker noticed others taking restaurant food scraps and sending them back to a farm to be used as compost. Being an earthminded individual, he decided to start a similar project in Sacramento. After a sundry of unfruitful attempts, Baker began ReSoil Sacramento through the educational nonprofit Green Restaurants Alliance Sacramento.

ReSoil Sacramento is a community compost network that partners with local restaurants, schools and businesses to bring farm to fork back to the farm. Since its development in 2014, ReSoil has diverted an impressive 1 million pounds of food waste from landfills and returned it to Sacramento soils. California law mandates that all counties divert organic waste from landfills to reduce greenhouse gases. Food and other organic waste produce methane, which is particularly harmful to the environment. Composting is one of the simplest and best ways to reduce

the potential harm of food and organic waste. “Community composting is one way that communities can act to reduce greenhouse gases and build healthy, climate-resilient neighborhoods,” Baker says. After the food waste is collected from a restaurant or business, Baker and his team bring the compost to wherever it’s needed in the city. That could be a Midtown community garden, edible schoolyard, urban farm, private and public landscapes, or the International Rescue Committee garden for refugees in West Sacramento. “We’re like

One of ReSoil’s first partnerships in Midtown and East Sac was with The Waterboy. “There’s a lot of emphasis in Sacramento on our incredible farmers and what the valley produces,” says Rick Mahan, chef and owner of The Waterboy and OneSpeed. “It is important that, as a community, we are just as concerned about giving back to the land and making sure we’re living as sustainably as possible so we can continue to enjoy the fruits.” Mahan believes it is important to be mindful of all the details involved in owning and operating a restaurant. “We carefully select our purveyors, focusing on small businesses that are responsibly run and who make quality products, whether it be tomatoes, cheese, wine or anything in-between,” Mahan says. “We carry that mentality through our preparation of the food and our service

All Major Credit Cards Accepted to guests. Participating with ReSoil allows us to take that mentality full circle and responsibly deal with our waste so it can produce something new.” Another of ReSoil’s first partnerships was with Selland’s Market Cafe. Selland’s and The Waterboy “worked with us and trained their employees, and respect their waste meticulously,” Baker comments. The program now has 17 partners including Thai Basil, Sun & Soil Juice Company, Hot Italian, OneSpeed, Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op, Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters, Magpie Cafe, Crocker Cafe, individuals at Midtown Farmers Market and even the Sacramento Zoo. “Animals eat healthier than people do!” Baker laughs. Through educating others, both older and younger generations, about the importance and natural simplicity of turning food scraps into compost, Sacramento could become a haven of healthy communities. “We really

think Sacramento could be the leading regenerative city,” Baker says. ReSoil is seeking dedicated volunteers and supporters who want to help the program grow and promote a sustainable food community. Individuals can also contribute by donating food scraps at ReSoil’s free community drop off at the Midtown Farmers Market on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 20th and J streets. “Everybody can play a part in addressing climate change and greenhouse gasses,” Baker says. “We don’t need to wait for the city, per se.

We could all get together and actively take part.” Visit grasacramento.org to learn more about ReSoil and the other programs connected to Green Restaurants Alliance Sacramento.

My Little Buttercup RESCUE BULLDOG GREETS THE WORLD WITH UNBRIDLED ENTHUSIASM

isit the artisan jewelry store, Little Relics, in Midtown on Tuesdays and Thursdays and be prepared for an enthusiastic welcome from Buttercup the bulldog. “Sometimes she becomes an overzealous greeter,” says Buttercup’s owner and master jeweler Susan Rabinovitz. “She follows people around. She thinks everyone is here to see her.” The 48-pound English bulldog is more than happy to escort customers around Rabinovitz’s shop filled with handcrafted jewelry and gifts by local artisans. When that happens, it’s time for Buttercup (aka The Potato) to call it a day. “Sometimes people just need to get in and get out. Then I have to walk her home,” says Rabinovitz, who lives with her husband and two daughters only four blocks from her 24th Street boutique.

Buttercup and Susan Rabinovitz

But, of course, like a toddler fighting nap time, Buttercup would rather stay. “She knows we are walking home. What would normally take about 8 minutes will take 20,” Rabinovitz says. The longest walk home took a full 40 minutes— mostly because the 7-year-old pooch would not budge. “She would lay down. That day was fun. People were honking and pointing and laughing. “I finally said, ‘Do you want some cheese,’” Rabinovitz says with a smile. And that got the pup moving. Buttercup is one lucky bulldog. She was only 6 months old when Rabinovitz rescued her from an abusive home. “She was in a really bad situation,” Rabinovitz says. “We spent a lot of time on the floor with her. She would cower. You couldn’t stick your hand out toward her. She was really fearful.”

But Rabinovitz does not like to dwell on Buttercup’s unfortunate past. “She was very traumatized. But she’s really happy now. We worked with her. We live here in Midtown so she’s around a lot of people. “The most rewarding thing is that we’ve seen her blossom into this amazing dog. She is able to trust again, which makes my heart happy.” Buttercup also has bonded with Rabinovitz’s husband. “Every morning and every night—I see them silly and ridiculous together. It’s nice to see that she’s healthy and happy. She’s a good girl.” Rabinovitz grew up with bulldogs and boxers, so she has a special place in her heart for canines with “smooshy faces,” as she puts it. “They’re good family dogs. Both breeds are hilarious. You cannot take yourself too seriously when you have those breeds.”

Short-nosed dogs tend to do one thing especially well—snore. Buttercup, who sleeps on a dog bed next to Rabinovitz’s bed, is no exception. “She snores really loud. I find it soothing. It’s like my white noise.” At home, Buttercup listens to the Beatles and reggae, which calm her down. She likes to crawl underneath things, including Rabinovitz’s work bench at the jewelry boutique. Beloved snacks include carrots, broccoli, green beans and asparagus. But apples are her favorite. “She will sit and drool and wait for the apples.” For hard-boiled eggs, Buttercup will “yell-bark,” says Rabinovitz, describing the sound as “bork bork,” which is how Buttercup’s Instagram account got its name: @bork_bork_ buttercup. “It’s very distinct to bulldogs.” Speaking highly of “bully” rescue groups, Rabinovitz has opened her heart to several homeless boxers and bulldogs over the years. “People need to look at rescue first,” she says. “Just because it’s a rescue dog, doesn’t mean it’s not a good dog. They are the

best dogs. They appreciate their new home. “I am also a big advocate of spaying and neutering.” Rabinovitz has been creating jewelry professionally for almost 20 years, working with precious metals, rock specimens and gem stones to forge abstract contemporary “wearable art.” She upped her game seven years ago when she graduated from the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco, and has logged more than 1,000 hours of training with master jewelers from around the world. But whether Rabinovitz is creating jewelry at her shop or spending time at home with the family, life would not be the same without “The Potato” by her side. “She’s my little russet.” Cathryn Rakich can be reached at crakich@surewest.net.

Sidewalk Turf Wars

SHARED BIKES AND SCOOTERS CREATE NEW HAZARDS FOR PEDESTRIANS

here has always been competition for public rights of way, whether among horses, carriages, streetcars, people on foot, bicyclists, motorcycles or vehicles. Now the competition has heated up for the sidewalk portion of that right of way. Sidewalks are a scarce and valuable public resource, a safe haven in the urban jungle. Yet the list of people and things vying for sidewalk space is long: pedestrians (including those with disabilities and wheelchairs), vendors, bicyclists, bike racks, skateboarders, strollers, homeless people, dogs (and their waste), parked cars, trash bins, utility and light poles, bollards, street and business signs, news racks, bus

shelters, tree wells, construction scaffolding, etc. Shared electric bikes and scooters are the most recent additions. Next to arrive will be robotic delivery devices— now a common sight in Berkeley and something San Francisco has already regulated. E-scooters have especially disrupted the public. Pedestrians see their refuge threatened. It didn’t help that the initial strategy of some scooter companies was to dump thousands of scooters on city streets without permission. As a result, San Francisco banned all scooters while it formulated rules. Nashville’s mayor ended the city’s pilot scooter program. After a fatality, he banished the 4,000 scooters owned by seven different companies. Scooter clutter (scooters blocking sidewalks, either while parked or when knocked over) irritates pedestrians and business owners. (Oddly, cars cluttering streets doesn’t engender the same hostility, though cars take up far more public space and pose incredibly more danger to pedestrians.)

Sacramento was a bit late to the game. It hasn’t had the large volume of scooters and bikes of other cities, but the numbers continue to grow. The Bee reports JUMP is permitted 1,170 bikes and scooters. Lime added 250 scooters in July. The city expects more vendors to enter the market soon. Shared bike and scooter users don’t exercise the same care bike owners do when they finish rides. Though terms of use say the devices should be locked and out of the way, they are often left unlocked in the middle of sidewalks. Bike owners want their bikes ready when they return, so they tend to be scrupulous about locking them to a rack, if available, or some fixed out-ofthe-way object. It’s my observation that shared bike users tend to be worse scofflaws than bike owners and car drivers. They, and scooter users, ride on sidewalks, even when bike lanes are available or the law says they shouldn’t. They ride the wrong way on streets. They ride through red lights. They are cavalier about where they abandon their devices.

The city of Sacramento has inconsistent rules for scooters and bikes. Scooters are not allowed on sidewalks, but bikes are, unless there is a sign forbidding them. This is neither sensible nor safe. In my view, no devices moving faster than walking speed should be allowed on sidewalks. Fast devices strike fear in pedestrians even when they don’t actually strike pedestrians. And sidewalk use is risky for riders. Every intersection with a street or driveway means a potential collision. Drivers of turning vehicles don’t expect, or look for, higher speed traffic on sidewalks. The city’s rules jeopardize its hope of reaching the Vision Zero goal of no traffic fatalities or serious injuries. All this is complicated by the fact that sidewalk bicyclists and scooter riders are on sidewalks because they feel safer than on the street. The perception of safety can be false, but streets are hazardous and should be safer. Lower traffic speeds and protected space for the vulnerable users of these new devices would help. Until then, we can expect sidewalks to be seen as

a refuge not just for pedestrians, but heavy e-bikes and scooters that can go 15 mph or faster. Shared electric scooters and bikes can be convenient and clean. They are efficient transportation. Using them, instead of 2-ton, pollution-emitting SUVs for short trips, benefits just about everyone. Their proliferation creates pressure to install racks for parking them (and privately owned bikes) and to build lanes for their use. They can be a revenue source. That’s all for the good. For-profit companies own the shared bikes and scooters. They use the public right of way to make a buck. They have downsides since the customers of those companies often add enforcement, safety and aesthetic challenges for local governments. I’ll have more to say as all this gets sorted out.

LOOK FOR WAYS TO FIND THE ANSWERS TOGETHER

s a teenager, I often told my high school ROTC instructors that I aspired for a dual Air Force career—first as a flight navigator and second as a chaplain. “Strange combination,” they’d say. “Why is that?” “Simple. As a navigator, I can tell people exactly where they should go. (Pause for effect.) As a chaplain, I can direct them toward a more heavenly heading.” Unfortunately, I thoroughly bombed the Air Force pre-qualifying test for navigator. Fortunately, with a bit of grace, I graduated from seminary and became a chaplain. Still, I occasionally forget that I failed navigation. Such was a moment recently when my wife and I met a family day hiking into Hidden Falls Regional Park in Auburn. When our paths crossed on the lookout deck above the falls, my

attention immediately went to their medium-sized labradoodle, a furball of cuteness they introduced as Chewy. Poor Chewy was towing an exhausted family of three children, a mom and a grandmother. I noticed the group posing for the obligatory waterfall picture, so I volunteered to snap the photo. Afterward I stroked Chewy while the kids took long draws from their water bottles, their mom wondering aloud what route to take back to their car. Should they return through the tree-lined creek trail or would they elect for the faster return up the sunbaked gravel road? Without being asked, I advised Chewy’s companions that the gravel road would be faster, but I preferred the cooler creek road. They were tired, and this was Chewy’s first hike, so they heard “faster.” The woman studied the road. One direction crossed a bridge, and the other headed up a steep hill and out of sight. “Which way toward the parking lot?” she asked. I pointed up the hill. Becky seconded my motion. Just before they set off, I made a promise. “If we don’t see you in the parking lot, we’ll send a search party.” They responded from the distance with soft chuckles. Ten minutes later, we were still at the lookout point when I caught the eye of a passing ranger.

I pointed up the hill, Chewy and company long out of sight. “Does that road lead to the parking lot?” I asked him. “Nope. Not at all. That’s a 9-mile hike into backcountry.” “Ruh-roh. I just sent a family with limited water on an endless hike.” My unsolicited advice was not too unlike the instructions people will sometimes impose on others concerning faith. They preach certitudes proclaiming their road is the only detour around a fiery damnation. As a chaplain who’s definitely not a navigator, I can tell you that pushing people into a particular brand of faith rarely ends well. Even if you see the convert through the baptistry waters, they’ll often backslide because it was never really their choice to begin with. The best approach in sharing your faith is to first wait until someone is truly seeking your advice. Then I suggest helping folks explore their options, not dictating your ultimatum. Look for ways to journey with them, seeking the answers together. This strategy echoes the advice of Teddy Roosevelt who said, “Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.” When someone seeks your wisdom about faith or any other path, I suggest you consider the attitude conveyed in phrases like “May I share my experience?” “The best advice I ever received was….” “Can we explore your

questions together until we find what you are looking for?” As a chaplain, I’ve discovered there is frequently little value in the navigator approach, telling people where to go and how to get there. As for Chewy’s party of five, the ranger jumped into his pickup and drove up the hill. Ten minutes later the family came clopping back toward us. “Let’s get out of here,” my wife said. “I don’t want to have to explain my husband.” Without hesitation, I grabbed my daypack and scrambled down the path toward the car. I know good advice when I hear it. Join my wife and me on a trip to Honduras, March 8–15, 2020.

What’s Old Is New Again COUPLE PUTS MODERN SPIN ON TRADITIONAL EAST SAC HOME

allpaper on the ceiling? Why not? “This is probably my favorite,” says homeowner Tracy Skinner, looking up at the black and white linen-like wallpaper above her head. Because the first paper she chose was very dark, Skinner considered covering only one wall. But Sacramento interior designer Cheryl Holben dissuaded her.

CR By Cathryn Rakich Open House

IA SEP n 19

“Cheryl said, ‘That is totally trendy. You can’t do one wall.’” They found a more modern paper with a floral pop that was “perfect because it’s light and bright,” Skinner adds. “But it was super expensive. So Cheryl said, ‘Let’s do the ceiling.’ “Ninety percent of this house is Cheryl. Cheryl got me out of my box.” Skinner and her husband Russ purchased the two-story East Sac home in the Fab 40s in 2017, and went to work on a complete remodel. Keeping the same basic footprint with some reconfiguring, the couple added a fourth bedroom and a shower for three full baths. Working with Holben and Kristy Lingner with River City Builders, the Skinners wanted to keep the classic look of the older home, but give it a modern update. “We loved it because it has a traditional footprint,” Skinner says of

the 2,650-square-foot home. “But there is not one surface that has not been touched. We made everything new.” The fully remodeled kitchen features an inventive island created from an old wooden printer’s cabinet that Skinner found online at an antique store in the east and had shipped to Sacramento. A local woodworker removed the top half, fashioned deeper drawers and repurposed the typeset inserts as wall décor in the renovated basement. “We were specifically looking for something old—something super original and unique,” Skinner explains. The new white kitchen cabinets are recessed for an “old-style” look. Quartzite countertops resemble marble. “We had marble in the past and I love how it looks,” Skinner says. “But after a while I just didn’t want to worry about it.”

The couple kept the original built-in buffet in the dining room, but relocated the living room buffet to the downstairs bedroom, which is now used as an office. They also saved the original door between the kitchen and dining room, telephone nook in the hallway and staircase banister. A stunning crystal chandelier was refurbished and moved from the living room to the dining room. “I love all my lighting,” Skinner says, crediting Holben for helping choose the just-right light fixtures, including an intricate Kartell sphere hanging in the entryway that the family assembled on their dining room table. “All these little pieces came in a box,” Skinner points out, noting that the company is famous for its faux-crystal fixtures made of plastic. The old double-hung, single-paned windows, which were painted shut,

were refurbished. All the doors are new except the striking front door featuring beveled glass. Straying from the old style, the couple used “penny tile” in the downstairs guest bathroom, not just on the floor but up the walls as well. “It is such a small bathroom, I wanted it to have something that looked cool,” Skinner notes. A contemporary floating toilet was required for its clearance in the tiny space. “That’s what this house has—some old and some modern.” The fireplace was probably refashioned in the 1980s with “an ugly brown tile,” Skinner says. For a facelift, the tile was stripped off and the surface stuccoed and painted. Upstairs, the Skinners converted a linen closet into a laundry room, and reconfigured the oddly large and awkward master bathroom to create a bigger walk-in closet. Modern lighting, Carrera marble tile and a skylight create an updated master bath. As an unexpected twist, the Skinners chose a Dutch half door from the house to the backyard to allow in a cool breeze when the top half is open. Small hexagon tiles on the back porch spell out the home’s address. “The backyard was horrific,” Skinner emphasizes. “They had a koi pond and broken-up cement. And a privet tree hovering over our house that was about ready to fall.” The all-new landscaping includes a gas fireplace and swimming pool.

“THAT’S WHAT THIS HOUSE HAS— SOME OLD AND SOME MODERN.”

Were there frustrations or surprises typically encountered with full remodels? “It all went smoothly,” Skinner says, giving kudos to Holben and Lingner. “It was really the three of us that worked together collaboratively on this house and that made it easy.

Century of Aces HOW SUTTER LAWN TENNIS SURVIVED 100 YEARS

utter Lawn Tennis Club celebrates its 100th birthday in September, which prompts one Grand Slam question: How did the little East Sacramento jewel manage to last a century? A tempting story would tell how Sutter Lawn’s guardians intuitively aced the future and moved with the times at 39th and N streets. They adapted to changing tastes, acquired nearby properties and relentlessly expanded to become the city’s dominant sports facility. But none of that would be true. Here’s what really happened to Sutter Lawn after its birth in 1919: Things pretty much stayed the same. For decades, nothing happened at 39th and N, other than tennis and

swimming and community fellowship. And therein lies the secret of Sutter Lawn’s enduring appeal and remarkable instinct for survival. “If you walked up here 100 years ago and looked at the place, it wouldn’t look too much different than it does today,” says Joe Riehl, former Sutter Lawn president and 100th anniversary committee chair. “My guess is if we could come back in 100 years, it will still look the same.” The clubhouse was expanded around World War II, adding an upstairs bar, but no one remembers exactly when. A tennis court was torn out and replaced by a swimming pool in 1951. The pool was expanded in 1957, attracting new members with young families. The pool saved Sutter Lawn from bankruptcy. That’s about it. “The club’s board of directors have a history of being very reluctant to spend money,” Riehl says. “Whenever there was an idea to do something, a group of directors would say, ‘You guys want to spend money like drunken sailors,’ and they would vote it down.” Besides Sutter Lawn, there are only two other places in Sacramento—

Hughes Stadium and Memorial Auditorium, both publicly owned—that reflect the city’s history through generational memories of sporting events. Bjorn Borg, Stan Smith and Rosie Casals played in tournaments at Sutter Lawn. In 1971, U.S. Tennis Association Hard Court Championships were held at 39th and N. Among the competitors was Arthur Ashe. For many Sutter Lawn members, Ashe’s appearance could have taken place last weekend. His photo is prominent on the clubhouse wall. They still talk about what happened. Frustrated by a rare poorly played match, Ashe began to challenge a call by Sutter Lawn line umpire Grant Bennett. When Bennett stood his ground, Ashe merely nodded and said, “Good call.” It was Sutter Lawn’s finest moment, an instant that captured the game’s premier level of courtesy, class and dignity. Sutter Lawn was 52 years old when Ashe visited. For many tennis clubs, a half-century qualifies as elderly. Few survive for a 100th birthday. Riehl

has been working to enroll the club in the exclusive Centenary Tennis Clubs association, which has only nine U.S. members. “They want you to have to have at least eight courts, and we have five,” Riehl says. “But I think there’s room for an exception.” Sacramento has bigger, newer and fancier tennis clubs. Rio Del Oro has 24 courts. Arden Hills has 12. But no local tennis club has the timeless atmosphere and relaxed ambiance of Sutter Lawn, which has never had pretentions. The club has about 225 members, monthly fees of $117 and a $2,500 initiation. It’s a Sacramento institution to the core. “What we are is a neighborhood tennis and swim club,” Riehl says. “That’s what we were when I was a kid growing up here, and that’s what people love about Sutter Lawn today. We’ve never tried to be anything else.” R.E. Graswich can be reached at regraswich@icloud.com. Previous columns can be found and shared at the all-new InsideSacramento.com.

Planning Your Winter Harvest The following cool-season vegetables should be planted mid-September to early October:

CABBAGES Bok Choy Broccoli Brussels Sprouts Cabbage Cauliflower

Garden of the Gods COOL-SEASON VEGETABLES NEED A HEAD START

t’s still summer, but it’s time to plant winter (cool-season) vegetables. If you get them in the ground while the days are still relatively long, you can harvest this winter. If you wait too long, peas will pause and broccoli will balk. Dormancy sets in when there are less than 10 hours of daylight. You need to give winter crops a head start before plant growth slows down or stops altogether. Ancient Greeks had a myth to explain this. Demeter was the goddess of fertility and harvest. Her daughter Persephone was abducted by smitten Hades, god of the underworld. Until that time, endless summers produced bountiful crops. Demeter was overcome by grief. Without her benevolent attentions, winter descended on the land. Nothing would grow and a famine caused great suffering. Demeter’s brother Zeus finally intervened with Hades, who agreed to release

Persephone as long as she had eaten nothing during her captivity. Alas, she had eaten a few pomegranate seeds. The gods made a deal. Persephone would return to Hades for several months every year, and then come back to earth. During her absence, Demeter grieved and the earth turned cold and dark. When Persephone returned, Demeter rejoiced and plants began to grow again. Garden writer Eliot Coleman calls the short days of winter “Persephone Days.” He recommends early planting to ensure that plants are at least 75-percent mature before days shorten to less than 10 hours. In Sacramento, shorter days begin Nov. 19. While greens will grow slowly throughout our mild winters, many other cool-season vegetables require 60 to 90 days to mature and should be planted no later than mid-September to early October. So this is a good time to plant cool-season crops. Even in a greenhouse, plant growth will slow unless you provide supplemental light. On Jan. 23, when days are once again 10 hours long, plants will return to active growth. I’m from Ohio where nobody has an outside winter garden because it’s too frigid. My attempts at Sacramento winter vegetable gardening have had mixed success, which I attribute to the

weather. I learned about “Persephone Days” in a Napa County Master Gardener blog last year, and realized that the winter gardens I planted earlier always did better no matter what the temperatures or rainfall. Winter annual flowers, such as violas and stock, also bloom better throughout the winter if you get them in the ground while the days are longer. This is also the best time of year to plant trees, woody ornamentals, hardy perennials, seeds and bulbs for springblooming plants. In our mild climate, roots continue to grow underground even if top growth is dormant. Persephone will soon return to the underworld. Sacramento isn’t as hot as Hades, and our winters are fairly mild. We can harvest from our winter gardens, pick citrus off our trees, enjoy green grass and flowers, and eat as many pomegranate seeds as we like. The next Open Garden, which will include information on preparing a winter vegetable garden, will be Saturday, Sept. 14, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center, 11549 Fair Oaks Blvd. in Fair Oaks.

Seeing is Believing SCIENTIST’S 3-D ARTWORK IS INSPIRED BY MATH, CHEMISTRY AND COLOR

Henry Parada

DB By Daniel Barnes Open Studio

IA SEP n 19

espite our ability to perceive three-dimensional depth, the human eye only shows us two dimensions. However, for Henry Parada, a retired chemical scientist turned optical artist, seeing in three dimensions is second nature. When he was studying chemistry, he had to “think in 3-D all the time,” says Parada, who works out of a basement studio in his West Sacramento home. “You need to think how the atoms and molecules are moving in order to react. For me, it’s very easy to think in 3-D.” Parada’s unique ability to imagine in three dimensions gets reflected in his stunning paintings. He favors bold, contrasting colors and shapes, using optical illusions, tactile materials and unusual textures to give the impression of movement and depth. Indeed, Parada produces the kind of meticulous, detail-oriented, geometry-obsessed work that could only come from a scientist. His work is inspired by geometry, color relationships, mathematical systems and chemistry. Although Parada moved to West Sacramento eight years ago, his artistic journey began in Venezuela. Born in Maracaibo in 1951, he started painting when his boss recommended the new hire find a hobby to release stress. “I was working in the biggest and most important place for research in Venezuela,” Parada says. “When you are working in research, you can often have no results,” which leads to depression. “For that reason, the majority of scientists have another activity.” Over the last 45 years, Parada painstakingly filled the houses of family and friends with his eyecatching art. Mostly self-taught, he has built up an impressive body of work, although it often takes him several months to finish a single piece. “I’ve always been surrounded by his pieces,” says Mai Townsend, Parada’s daughter. “He has always been very prolific.” A longtime art lover, Parada found inspiration in the kinetic and innovative art of fellow Venezuelans Jesús Rafael Soto and Carlos Cruz-

Diez. He also revered the work of Victor Vasarely, “grandfather” of the optical art movement. Eventually, Parada’s artwork started to appear in group exhibitions, and he won several painting and photography prizes in Venezuela. Unfortunately, the political situation in Venezuela has changed drastically in the last couple of decades. Townsend had already immigrated to America at the age of 21, and she moved her father and other family members over in 2003. For a while, Parada kept working in chemistry, but he retired 10 years ago to focus on his art full time. In America, Parada gained access to

advanced technology unavailable in Venezuela. “At the beginning, I didn’t have the right tools, and I tried to get three-dimensional with only optical illusions,” he says. “I have moved to new technology to get a real threedimensional effect. I am trying to do something more solid.” His most recent artwork features immaculately sized pieces of carbon fiber, which Parada binds to the canvas to enhance the threedimensional effect. Instead of glue, he adheres the pieces by employing a gel generally used for mixing paints. “He uses his chemist’s knowledge to maximize the effect on how to bond

them together, and not to have as many issues with the wood and the paint,” Townsend says. “I think he is always evolving, trying to get more studies, trying to figure out what materials work best to create the full 3-D effect.” Always concerned with quality control, Parada even makes his own canvases. “I make everything except for the carbon fiber,” he says. “I try to do everything perfect.” Parada begins his artistic process by creating smaller works that he calls “prototypes,” then scales up for the final product. “When I have an idea, I try to start with small pieces because I don’t want to spend my time on something that will not work,” he says. “Later, when I have everything nice, I do big work.” He usually gives away the smaller versions as gifts.

Since moving to West Sacramento, Parada’s art has been displayed in a handful of exhibitions and events. He received a show at Gallery 1075 in West Sacramento in 2017, and contributed pieces to the Verge Center of the Arts annual auction. Parada also participated in the “Red Umbrellas” open-air art exhibit in San Francisco. “It’s my life,” he says. “I try to do the best.” View Henry Parada’s artwork at henryparada.net.

Nature center visitors interact with Effie Yeaw’s resident raptors.

Wildlife educator Gabe Kerschner works with a menagerie of animal ambassadors.

Animal Antics EFFIE YEAW NATURE CENTER HOSTS ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF NATURE

ats, birds and reptiles will be among the educators during Effie Yeaw Nature Center’s annual NatureFest on Sunday, Sept. 22, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event aims to encourage an appreciation of nature among children and adults. Among the presenters will be Gabe Kerschner who runs an animal sanctuary in Placer County. Rescued from adversity, his animals are stars of hundreds of school programs. They include an alligator, lemur, kangaroo and kookaburra. NatureFest attendees will also view a more regional menagerie that could include a skunk, raccoon and opossum. Kerschner will share animal-rescue stories, such as one about a bald eagle named Spirit who was shot by a fisherman in Alaska. Save The Snakes, a nonprofit that champions one of nature’s

most misunderstood species, will offer a program to dispel the myths. Gopher and king snakes will slither into the spotlight as presentation ambassadors. Northern California Bats representative Corky Quirk will bring along her nocturnal friends to underscore the importance of bats to ecology. Unscripted deer, coyote and turkey sightings are likely as docents host walks through the center’s 100acre wildlife preserve. California Fly Fishers Unlimited, a group devoted to angling education, will teach wannabes the art of fly tying. Nature educator Guy Galante will demonstrate animal-tracking techniques and suggest ways for humans to better coexist with urban wildlife. Resident nature center raptors, including a great horned owl, peregrine falcon and Swainson’s hawk, will interact with visitors. Games and crafts will be among the many kids’ activities, and youth groups are welcome at the event. As the nature center is also a hub for Native American studies, basketry and tule dollmaking will be showcased. Food trucks will also be on hand.

Maidu descendants demonstrate Native American crafts. Admission is $5 for general; $2 for children ages 4 to 11; free for children 3 and younger. Parking is free.

Seeing Double 2 LOCAL HOT SPOTS OFFER DIFFERENT TAKES ON PIZZA

izza, to use a modern phrase, is trending. Wood-fired, gas-oven, deep-dish, Neapolitan, thin-crust, Sicilian, New York. Think of a pizza style, from Connecticut to California, and you’ll find a sample of it at a Sacramento restaurant.

GS By Greg Sabin Restaurant Insider

IA SEP n 19

Marvin Maldonado, local restaurateur, has two different pizza spots focusing on two completely different styles. Federalist Public House features Neapolitan thin-crust pizza fired in the Federalist’s potent wood oven. His new East Sacramento outlet, The Neighborhood Pizzeria, features a style with a plethora of regional names. Some call it “Detroit-style,” others call it “Sicilian.” You’ll even hear it referred to as “Grandma” pizza every now and then. This Motor City/Mediterranean/ maternal treat features deep, focaccialike crust topped with cheese, then

sauce and then a wide array of ingredients. Most notable might be that this style is cooked in rectangular pans and served by the square. These two pizza styles, the Neapolitan at Federalist and the Grandma pie at Neighborhood couldn’t be more different. The same can also be said for the restaurants’ atmospheres. Opened in April, The Neighborhood Pizzeria sits snugly and casually on H Street, looking more like a residence than a neighborhood pizza spot. The homey exterior belies a modern, minimal interior and a delightfully inviting patio. It’s an order-at-the-

counter place where your table number might be written on a vintage baseball card. This and other cheeky elements give the place that touch of fun that tells you the minimalist space is more blank canvas than serious artistic expression. While the pizzeria features the Detroit/Sicilian-style square pies, you’ll also find round pies offered with a modified, but still satisfyingly puffy and gorgeously crispy crust. The standard Detroit/Sicilian pizza, as mentioned above, has a crust influenced by the best Italian focaccia. The flavor, chew and fluffiness of the crust makes these

pies stand out. And the doughy beauty is only heightened by the cheesy, crispy exterior. The “Abuelita” (Spanish for grandmother) is a square slice with just the basics: mozzarella, oregano, tomato sauce, basil and parmesan. The “Fresh Prince” (a sly reference to Prince Street Pizza, a New York pizzeria that specializes in the Sicilian style) goes for the simple American combo of pepperoni and cheese. At $4 and $5 a slice, respectively, they are a filling treat for a solid price. Being in the pizza and beer business has its perks, Maldonado told me. One of those perks is getting to go on research trips to places like Italy and New York. While on a recent trip he and his wife fell in love with the beers coming out of Brooklyn Brewery. Their flagship Brooklyn Lager is a staple at bars and restaurants up and down the Eastern Seaboard, but doesn’t make it out to California much. Fortunately for Maldonado, a western push in distribution for Brooklyn Brewery lined up with the opening of his new restaurant. So now Brooklyn Brewery beers are, for lack of a better description, the official beers of the neighborhood pizzeria. You’ll find several on tap at any time, and plenty of bottles and cans to go. Federalist Public House is one of the more innovative spaces in town. Maldonado’s background in architecture came into play to create a space that utilizes a series of shipping containers as its frame. It works as an indoor/outdoor space built for the long Sacramento summers and briefer winters. The restaurant focuses on craft beer, wood-fired pizza and bocce ball. The faux grass bocce court attached to the informal dining room acts as a magnet for casual and competitive bocce players.

The beer lineup features a tap list of mostly local brews with a heavy consideration for the season and the number on the thermometer. The pizza oven steals the show, however, putting out thin-crust Neapolitan pies that range from traditional to inventive. On the traditional end, the “Formaggio” hits the spot with a simple combination of crushed tomato, cheese, oregano and olive oil. The tender, fire-kissed crust pulls just enough when offering that first bite. Its flavor shows smart decisions in dough making and flour sourcing. On the innovative side, the “Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy” features ingredients more frequently found in a Cubano sandwich: roast pork, ham and pickles. The clever pizza doesn’t pull punches with a heavy dusting of fresh dill and “Cubano sauce.” The unapologetic flavors really sing. You might not pick this one off the menu at first glance, but it’s definitely worth a second look. Whether you’re a fan of a big slice or small slice, deep dish or thin crust, red sauce or white sauce, you’ll find pizza to your liking at these two pizzerias.
