Food for Thought A TOAST TO LOCAL RESTAURANT OWNERS WHO BEAT THE ODDS

’ve always thought owning a restaurant was one of the toughest jobs around. Thirty years ago when living in San Francisco, I had a friend who was a restaurant consultant. When we first met, I naively asked why an owner would need to hire her. In those days, the San Francisco restaurant scene was in its heyday. New places had opened everywhere. Tables at popular spots were hard to book. What she shared profoundly changed how I viewed the industry. First, she explained restaurants tended to keep much longer hours than other retail businesses. The products they sold were fresh and perishable, making waste a

constant threat. Employees had the potential to steal food and alcohol. In those days, food service primarily revolved around cash, which carried the risk of robbery. Food-service workers were often more transient than employees of other businesses. My friend also pointed out restaurants required a large investment just to open the doors. And once open, weeks were needed to resolve training and service issues with staff not accustomed to working together. All this happened while customers—if the restaurant owners had money left for marketing—were eager to judge the new place and test its worthiness. A restaurant must get many things right. If the menu has limited courses, each dish should be perfect, or the verdict will be negative. A billing error could make a customer not return. When a dining experience is topnotch, customers tend to be generous. But if there are problems, they can be brutal. Some folks, like me, tend to address a bad meal or poor service

politely and discreetly to the waiter or manager. But others can be loud and obnoxious, especially if consuming alcohol. And folks with bad experiences share them. While these challenges mostly hold true today, there are new pressures unheard of three decades ago. Social media has taken criticism to a new and often brutal level. Of course, a good experience can be widely shared. But criticism tends to drive much of social media. Rather than talk to a restaurant manager and try to help them improve, it’s easier to slam them on Yelp. From what I hear, most business owners despise Yelp. It promotes the most critical reviews and expects

businesses to advertise on Yelp to counter the criticism. It’s a no-win situation for many owners. Sadly, our society has become far less forgiving. We are blessed that Sacramento has a lively and interesting restaurant scene to match our status as America’s farmto-fork capital. Our Inside Sacramento book features about 75 great places to eat. In the second edition just published, we removed several businesses that closed since the first book was released in 2016. And each month in our magazine pages, we review a dining establishment. In our more than 20 years, we have never run a negative review. Occasionally, there might be negative comments. But since our

ACCORDING TO ONE RECENT REPORT, SACRAMENTO COULD BE REACHING A TIPPING POINT FOR NEW BARS AND RESTAURANTS. IES n INSIDEPUBLICATIONS.COM

publication takes primarily a positive look at our neighborhoods, I decided the restaurant business was too tough and our readership too large to risk destroying a business. It’s not that we haven’t had bad dining experiences. But our reviewer Greg Sabin knows if he has a bad meal, he can send me the bill and I’ll pay it. He can try another place. He’s savvy and connected, so this doesn’t happen often. If I know the owner, I contact them and ask them to call me back if they wish to know about a less-than-perfect experience. Sometimes they call back and I am honest. Other times, I never hear from them. Owners I speak with are appreciative. According to one recent report, Sacramento could be reaching a tipping

point for new bars and restaurants. The Sacramento Business Journal reported with more than 200,000 square feet of new eateries and watering holes opening in the central city by year’s end, there’s a good chance that supply will outstrip demand, according to Colliers International Sacramento. Mark Engemann, a senior vice president at Colliers who specializes in retail properties, said dining places have become more common in retail spaces because they are local experiences as opposed to retailers of soft goods. In the past decade, retail has been decimated, first from the recession and internet competition, and more recently from rising rents. Restaurants face their own challenges as concepts aimed at midmarket struggle.

The report says in Downtown and Midtown, openings in the past three months have created a crowded market for new restaurants. The western half of Downtown Commons, adaptive reuse project 700K, The Bank on J Street and Ice Blocks in Midtown are poised for at least one, and typically more than one, new restaurant or bar to open before 2019. Together, these two neighborhoods account for more than 70 percent of Sacramento’s new openings in 2018. More restaurants are planned for East Sac, West Sac and Arden-Arcade. Engemann says residential growth could eventually support the locations opened this year, but possibly not for another two to three years, or longer. While the bar and restaurant concepts are not new, in many cases

they backfill empty spaces where a previous concept failed. Engemann says most restaurants look for secondgeneration space to keep costs down. With higher fees and rising tenantimprovement expenses, being the first restaurant in a location is risky. Engemann predicts the possibility of a shakeout. He counsels that restaurants or bars must draw from nearby residential areas, rather than expect customers to drive from suburbs, especially on nights and weekends. At Inside Publications, we are lucky to have a stable group of loyal restaurant advertisers. They understand our direct-mail delivery ensures neighbors around their locations know they are ready for business.

THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK GETS THE ATTENTION. BUT UNLESS THEY CAN DELIVER LONG-TERM VALUE AND GREAT SERVICE, FOLKS QUICKLY MOVE ON.

But more new restaurants rely exclusively on social media to advertise their presence. Honestly, I’ve never been enticed to a new place by social media. I usually find out about a restaurant by seeing the new business, meeting the owners, or hearing from a friend. And what about all the customers who have never engaged in or have opted out of social media? They need to be reached. As restaurants multiply, local dining dollars don’t expand at the same rate. And while social media can drive folks to new places, there’s a risk they won’t become loyal customers. Many people follow social media buzz and hop from place to place. Longtime restaurant owners see this all the time. The new kid on the block gets the attention. But unless they

can deliver long-term value and great service, folks quickly move on. This is why I’m so impressed by our prominent and successful Sacramento restaurateurs, including Randy and Stacy Paragary, Matt and Fred Haines, the Fat family, the Selland family, Rick Mahan, Ernesto Delgado and Patrick and Bobbin Mulvaney. And those are just the owners I personally know. There are many others who put their hearts and souls into this local industry. And they succeed against tremendous competition. It will be an interesting and challenging year ahead for this venerable and formidable Sacramento industry. Cecily Hastings can be reached at publisher@insidepublications.com. n

McKinley Water Vault Approved PROJECT PROTECTS STREETS, HOMES, COUNCILMAN SAYS

he Sacramento City Council voted to approve certifying the McKinley Water Vault’s Environmental Impact Report on Oct. 9. The project is expected to go to bid in January, with the goal of starting construction in early 2019. In the weeks before the council vote a small but intense neighborhood opposition emerged, expressing its position on red and yellow banners erected on two H Street homes. The banner reads, “Halt the 3.2-acre sewage tank.” Neighbors who opposed the project spoke at the council meeting and stated objections to the length and intensity of the construction and related traffic, and asked the council to reconsider alternatives. City Councilman Jeff Harris, who represents the neighborhood, says opponents mischaracterized the purpose

of the underground concrete cistern, which is planned for the current site of the park’s baseball field. “They’ve called it a toxic waste dump and a sewage tank,” Harris says. “It’s basically meant to be a cache for stormwater.” The need for the water vault stems from the city’s outdated combined sewer system, which dumps storm runoff and wastewater into one pipeline for treatment at the regional sanitation facility in Elk Grove. During severe storms, the system can become overwhelmed, leading to sewer outflows in lower-lying neighborhoods such as East Sacramento. “Untreated sewage comes onto the streets, literally floating down the streets. It’s a real health hazard,” says Harris, a longtime River Park resident. “Many people in the area have basements that flood and that are often contaminated with sewer effluvia.” If constructed, the McKinley Water Vault would store up to 6 million gallons of water in an underground tank until the storm passes. Then the water gets pumped out for treatment. For all but a handful of days every decade, the vault would remain empty. The project would cost roughly $30 million, and construction is expected to last between 18 and 24 months.

The city has significant experience with water storage vaults, and they are a major component of flood protection. Three facilities have been built in neighborhoods around East Sacramento over the past 19 years. The vaults have proven safe and effective. One storage vault was constructed in 1999 at 42nd and R streets. It holds up to 1.6 million gallons, and the project enhanced the neighborhood with new trees and irrigation. In 2000, the city installed the UC Davis Medical Center Storage Project at 49th and V streets.

The vault holds 3 million gallons beneath the Elmhurst-Med Center Community Garden. A large water storage vault was constructed in 2015 at Eighth Avenue and San Carlos Way in Oak Park. The facility, which holds 3.8 million gallons, is beneath a new soccer field. There have been no problems or complaints with any of the storage facilities. Opponents of the McKinley Water Vault argue the city should separate the two sewer systems. A website, savemckinleypark.com, primarily

WATER VAULT BRINGS $1 MILLION IN BENEFITS TO PARK

he city of Sacramento has created a $1 million budget to landscape the east side of McKinley Park after the water vault project is completed. The improvements include: Trees—Sixty-two new trees and 207 shrubs will be planted, with five existing trees removed. The new large canopy trees will include the Ginkgo Biloba, Natchez Crape Myrtle, and Blue and Valley Oaks. Shrubs include Katrina African Iris and Putah Creek Myoporum. Turf—Approximately 238,000 square feet of new turf and irrigation will be installed in the field area. Shade Structures—Two new shade structures (similar in size to the one in the playground picnic area) and 36 picnic benches will be constructed. Jogging Path—The city’s irrigation improvements will be designed to stop water from spraying onto the path. Grading issues will be addressed with additional decomposed granite and leveling. Restrooms—There will be four unisex stalls to match the existing look and feel of other structures in the park. Sports Field—The softball field will be transformed into a multi-use field. n

focuses on park closures, traffic congestion and potential noise from construction. The website doesn’t identify who is leading or funding the opposition campaign. Harris explains the city investigated separating the stormwater and wastewater systems, and found it would cost more than $2 billion and take 20 years to complete. “To get the revenue we would need to bond for a project like that, it would mean at least tripling everybody’s utility bill,” Harris says. “The idea of separating the combined system is truly out of reach.” About two decades ago, the State Water Resources Control Board found Sacramento in violation of its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit because of the sewer outflows. “If the water board got heavy, they could cause us to stop all construction in the city,” Harris says. “McKinley Water Vault is only one of many projects to keep the forward progress in dealing with stormwater and managing our waste system. It protects us from vulnerability, but it also solves a big issue.” Harris touts the upgrades that McKinley Park will receive once construction is completed, amenities that could include new bathrooms, a new irrigation system and a heated pool. “Additionally, we’d be planting 60 new trees in the park,” Harris says. “There are really a lot of positives to it.” The city has helpful videos and information, including the Environmental Impact Report, at cityofsacramento.org/ mckinleywatervault.

For his Eagle project, the Troop 1 member designed and built two planters with integrated seating for an outdoor classroom at Phoebe Hearst Elementary School. Sharman raised funds to buy building materials for his project. He received assistance from more than 20 scouts, parents, leaders, family members and friends. A member of Jesuit High’s class of 2018, Sharman attends American River College and plans to complete his biology degree at UC Davis.

FISH-ING FOR COMPLIMENTS Local favorite Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters won big at the fourth annual Golden Bean North America coffee roasters competition in September, with 18 medals overall. The competition took place in Portland, with judges evaluating more than 900 American coffees in 10 categories. Chocolate Fish, which operates a coffee shop and roastery in East Sacramento along with locations Downtown and in Land Park, won medals in the Espresso, Milk-Based Espresso, Single Origin Espresso, Pour Over and Decaf categories. “Winning 18 medals this year was overwhelming,” says co-owner and head roaster Andy Baker. “We entered the coffees we serve every day in our cafes, and in the end the judges were able to taste the quality in our cup.” Sacramento-based roasters Old Soul and Temple also received medals at the Golden Bean North America competition.

PROP. 5

inding appropriate housing has never been so difficult in California, given skyrocketing prices and limited inventory. This November, voters will determine consequential outcomes for the state’s housing future. As a licensed Realtor, I see these challenges every day. But empty nesters face a particular challenge. Many seniors have a desire to downsize and relocate closer to family members. If they do, they pay a moving penalty in the form of drastically higher property taxes. The tax sticker shock keeps many of these homeowners right where they are. In turn, fewer single-family homes enter the market. This November, California voters can help solve these problems by voting yes on Proposition 5, the Property Tax Fairness Initiative. Proposition 5 would protect people 55 years of age and older by providing the opportunity to take their property tax protections with them when they move. Seniors aren’t the only ones who would be helped. The same protections would be extended to the severely disabled and to victims of natural disasters. Proposition 5 would also replace an inconsistent patchwork of confusing rules about property tax protections that vary from county to county. Competing ballot measures, such as Proposition 10, the so-called “Affordable Housing Act,” would make the housing crisis worse. It would repeal protections for homeowners and let local government bureaucracies pass new rent control laws, tightening the market. We need to address California’s housing shortage. Too many homebuyers are priced out of the market. In the Sacramento region, the median price of housing is $369,950, up 6 percent from a year ago. As a Realtor, fellow Sacramentan and Californian, I urge voters to look closely at this year’s ballot. Our housing future depends on it. Linda Wood, President, Sacramento Association of Realtors

MEASURE U

hanks for your recent editorial about Measure U in October’s edition. It was helpful to read a balanced view of it before reading the 'vote yes' and 'vote no' editorials also in the issue. I will vote no on it for one simple reason; there are many compelling parts of the Measure such as money for parks, homeless and street repair. But when I read that it also comes with monies for the Sacramento Fire Department I vote no. Many cities that have gone bankrupt or are close to [it] find it is due to unfunded liabilities. These liabilities are made up of many parts, but studies I've seen show the lion's share is for the large number of fire personnel that retire young at 100% (or more) of their bloated salaries. Ever wonder why they send a large hook-and-ladder truck with each and every EMT trip? It is job justification pure and simple. And with a very powerful union, our elected officials have not stood up to cut-backs where we really need them.

Pennies From Heaven PENSIONS CAN SWALLOW TAX, BUT WHY LET THEM?

ne of the biggest issues in the debate over Mayor Darrell Steinberg’s proposed 1-cent sales tax hike—Measure U—is whether the city needs the $100 million per year the tax will generate. The original Measure U, a half-cent sales tax approved by voters in 2012, produces nearly $50 million each year. The new Measure U would double that number. Steinberg claims the money will go toward a laundry list of new programs and mayoral initiatives. None of Steinberg’s promises are legally binding. Measure U is a general tax, which requires only a simple majority approval, 50.1 percent. The

CP By Craig Powell City Politics • OPINION •

IES NOV n 18

city can’t make binding promises on how it will spend a general tax. Binding promises require passage of a special tax, which in California means approval by two-thirds, or at least 66.6 percent. Clearly, the mayor was not confident he could reach the two-thirds threshold, especially after reviewing four polls he commissioned over the past year that showed steady declines in support for his 1-cent permanent hike. Since Measure U dollars would be deposited in the city’s general fund (which covers basic government services, including police, fire and parks), the money becomes subject to legal claims against the city, including the unavoidable obligation to pay Sacramento’s rapidly escalating annual pension bill to the California public employees pension system, CalPERS. CalPERS has notified the city it should expect to pay $62 million more per year for pensions over the next four or five years. Unless the mayor has unknown powers of alchemy which would allow him to conjure up $62 million in additional cash for the general fund

each year, the $50 million in new money brought by Measure U will be entirely vacuumed up by CalPERS. And CalPERS payments are neither negotiable nor optional. Several California cities have tried to skip on payments. They found themselves either in bankruptcy or facing epic financial penalties built into their CalPERS agreements. What about booming city revenues, which are up $120 million per year since the Great Recession and have spiked by 16 percent in the past two years? Won’t rising city revenues cover the city’s pension bill? Nope. Given the way the city spends money, anticipated increases in revenue barely will cover projected increases in spending. So, here’s our economic reality: Measure U is really a pension tax, as former Sacramento Bee columnist and dean of the capitol press corps, Dan Walters, has said all along. But don’t we need to pass Measure U to help cover the city’s exploding pension bill, even though Steinberg has been systematically spoofing voters with

his impossible promises about how he would spend the extra $50 million? No, because there’s another way to fund the city’s looming CalPERS bill and free up city resources to fund high-priority programs and initiatives without sacrificing core services. The answer is spending reform and spending restraint. For eight years, Eye on Sacramento has scoured city budgets and spending patterns, and has identified multiple ways Sacramento can reduce spending without sacrificing core services or resorting to the layoffs seen during the recession. The City Council devotes practically no time to its important—but largely neglected—role of overseeing city spending. The council is far more interested in discussing new ways to spend, along with new programs and initiatives. Sacramento spends gobs of money on pricy labor agreements with city unions (including a double-digit raise for police this year), and on handing out generous subsidies to politically connected players. Recipients include developers with juice at City Hall, powerful trade unions, influential hotel and restaurant operators, politically wired nonprofits and billionaire sports franchise owners. The benefits they receive impact the general fund—not in a good way. Eye on Sacramento recently teamed with Marcia Fritz, a noted certified public accountant and long-time Sacramentan with decades of experience auditing local governments. Fritz has a specialized knowledge of municipal labor agreements and local government retirement programs. She has appeared on national news broadcasts as an expert on such matters. In the past several months, Eye on Sacramento and Fritz have compiled a report, “Blueprint for a Post-Measure U Sacramento: Beyond Our ‘Pay More, Get Less’ Government.” By combining Eye on Sacramento’s experience in examining city spending and Fritz’s analytical talent and familiarity with government labor costs and retirement plans, our report has identified dozens of cost-saving recommendations. If adopted by the City Council, the proposals would reduce spending by more than $125 million annually without reducing core services. There are two ways Sacramento voters can respond to the fiscal problems our city faces: They can vote to approve Measure U, which would temporarily paper-over the city’s unsustainable spending practices while imposing the highest sales tax in the

Or, voters can reject Measure U and force political leaders to deal with the deep imbalances in how they manage taxpayer dollars. At a recent public forum on Measure U, Steinberg and I debated the imbalances in city finances and the need to control unsustainable spending. As he often does, the mayor cited his experience in the state Senate, where he helped cut state spending during the Great Recession. In response, I noted he agreed to reduce state spending because he was compelled to, not from any innate desire for frugality or to avoid wasteful spending. I told the audience that only by rejecting Measure U will voters compel the City Council to control excessive spending and put Sacramento on a sustainable path moving forward. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to wait until the next recession, when the costs of delayed action and declining tax revenue combine to devastate city services. Here is a partial list of the spending reforms outlined in the Blueprint. For a detailed look at the report or to download it, please visit www. eyeonsacramento.org. 1. Require all city employees to increase their share of the cost of funding their own pension benefits from 25 percent to 50 percent. Estimated savings: $30 million. 2. Phase out over three years the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdated and obsolete

retiree health benefit plan. Lowerincome city retirees are eligible for Affordable Care Act subsidies and higher-income retirees can afford to fund their own health care costs until they are eligible for Medicare benefits. Estimated savings: $23.8 million Eliminate cash-outs for paid time off. Estimated savings: $7.8 million. Reduce the number of paid holidays for city employees from 14 to 10, matching the holidays provided to federal employees. Estimated savings: $4.97 million. Stop paying the salaries of police officers released from their schedules to work full-time for the police union. Estimated savings: $1.4 million. Shift from â&#x20AC;&#x153;dual roleâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;single roleâ&#x20AC;? paramedics on city ambulances, as ambulance personnel donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be trained as firefighters. Estimated savings: $6 million. Reduce staffing on fire equipment from four to three firefighters, matching the staffing practice of many fire departments in the region. Estimated savings: $9.95 million. Shift city policy on homelessness away from reliance on shelters to building a large-scale â&#x20AC;&#x153;transformational campusâ&#x20AC;?; bring professional case management to assist the needs of homeless in a clinical setting; use the successful Haven for Hope model from San

Antonio. Estimated savings: $10 million. 9. Discontinue the unnecessary and costly Downtown streetcar project and avoid city responsibility for anticipated operational deficits. Estimated savings: $3 million. 10. Postpone or cancel the proposed $240 million expansion/renovation of the money-losing Sacramento Convention Center and free up hotel tax revenue for transfer to the general fund. Estimated savings: $15 million. 11. Outsource basic park maintenance using the â&#x20AC;&#x153;managed competitionâ&#x20AC;? model, which would allow the parks department to bid with private landscape maintenance companies. Estimated savings: $7 million. 12. Outsource management and operation of city recreation centers and pools to local nonprofit organizations, as was done during the Great Recession. Estimated savings: $2.8 million. 13. Reduce the mushrooming costs associated with substantially higher staffing of mayor and City Council offices by 25 percent. Estimated savings: Unknown.

14. Repeal the labor monopoly recently granted by the City Council to construction trade unions on city projects above $1 million, which excludes nonunion contractors (and virtually all minority and women-owned contractors) and 90 percent of local construction workers who are non-union. Estimated savings: $5 million (plus $50 million in higher costs on the convention center projects). NUMBERS NOTED: Thanks to our readership for pointing out an error in my August column about a proposed rent-control initiative drive.

Never Forgotten

EAST SAC VETERAN MAKES THE MOST OF MEMORIES Robert Tribe on the summit cairn of Silver Peak.

ob Tribe talks about something that happened in 1965 like it was yesterday. His photographic memory is helpful in volunteer work for the Sacramento Library, where he interviews veterans for the “Valley to Vietnam” archive project. “I’ve always been fascinated by history,” says Tribe, who passed up graduate school at San Francisco State to join the U.S. Army in 1966 at age 22. After surviving basic and advanced infantry training, infantry officers candidate school and jump school— despite his fear of heights—Tribe was assigned to the 6th Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg, for which he

IES NOV n 18

eventually became an intelligence officer responsible for planning field training exercises across the country. Tribe never served in Vietnam, but he knew many who did. In 1986, he decided to track down fellow officers school alumni and see what they were up to. He spent hours at the library poring over phonebooks and managed to locate nearly 100 classmates. He invited them to a reunion in Las Vegas—the first of 14 reunions thus far. “No one brags about their service,” says Tribe, an East Sacramento resident since 1982. “Everyone talks about how scared they were and how much we miss those that were killed in action. We gather donations for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in each of the states the deceased represented.” The ability to bring people together comes naturally to Tribe. After leaving the Army, he worked for the Office of Criminal Justice Planning. He organized correctional taskforces and a program to help young delinquents find a better path. He moved to the Fair Political Practices Commission, where he retired as executive director in 2000 after 25 years. “It was amazing being there at the beginning and having input about what

it would look like going forward,” says Tribe, who helped the commission grow from 35 employees to more than 100. “It’s an impressive agency. You have to be immune to politics and I really found that to be true.” Once retired, Tribe returned to his passion—research. He befriended James Scott, an archivist who oversees the library’s Sacramento Room. Scott was starting a project called “Valley to Vietnam,” where Vietnam veterans from the area are interviewed on camera for 20 to 60 minutes. The interviews are committed to DVDs to serve as historical reference material. Tribe himself was interviewed, but because of his “naturally loquacious” personality, he says, it wasn’t long before he agreed to conduct the interviews and track down potential interviewees. “If I see someone wearing a veteran’s hat in Costco, I’ll chase them down,” Tribe says with a laugh. Though the project is timeconsuming—Tribe and Scott have completed 55 interviews so far, with more in the works—Tribe still finds time for his other hobbies. He leads hikes and teaches classes on

backpacking and survival for the Department of Fish and Wildlife. Tribe also serves on the boards of the nonprofit Yosemite National Institutes and Headlands Institute (now called NatureBridge). He volunteers with his wife, Jeanne Pritchard, for the Catholic cathedral, Volunteers of America and St. John’s Program for Real Change. That is, when he’s not climbing mountains. “I try to climb a new peak every year,” says the 75-year-old, who has conquered 154 mountains for various birthdays and special occasions—often with friends—since his first climb in 1978. “I plan to do as many more as I can before I’m no longer able.” Once at the top, Tribe records in the summit register the name of someone who has died or is suffering from a serious illness. It’s a way to honor and remember friends and family. Even at 14,000 feet, Tribe finds a way to put his stellar memory to good use. Jessica Laskey can be reached at jessrlaskey@gmail.com. n

Sacramento State President Robert Nelsen (sixth from left) and Mayor Darrell Steinberg (ﬁfth from right) help open the university’s new Downtown building.

SAC STATE FLEXES ITS MUSCLES DOWNTOWN

nder President Robert Nelsen, Sacramento State University is on a roll with a vision for expansion Downtown and across the community. Sac State was once isolated by the confines of its campus and reputation as a commuter school. The university’s identity was built around several strong academic departments, reasonably good sports, limited amenities and a hidden but acclaimed cultural arts program. That’s changing in a big way. The university recently opened a satellite campus Downtown at 304 S

SC By Scot Crocker Inside Downtown

IES NOV n 18

St. Nelsen, along with students, and university and community leaders christened the new facility, which features three large classrooms, meeting spaces and other amenities. “When I arrived in Sacramento and met with then-Mayor Kevin Johnson, he asked three things of me,” Nelsen says. “He wanted Sacramento State to have a presence Downtown, become more visible at the Capitol with state leaders, and take our arts programs out into the community.” Nelsen has been at work on all three requests—with success. The Downtown campus is especially notable because it’s been a dream of community leaders for years. Today the site serves as a natural step in the evolution of Downtown. The new campus is near a growing residential base of young professionals who can attend classes after work. The new site signals the start of an initiative by Sac State to become an “anchor university” and bring programs and facilities into the community

with events relevant to students and residents. Nelsen says the anchor university concept is a trend. He cites six schools that have implemented the concept, led by Syracuse. He sees future expansions into Del Paso Heights, Meadowview and other neighborhoods. The president believes the university’s social work and social science students should study in communities where they will apply their degrees. The presence of Sac State programs in neighborhoods across the city allows bonds to form between students and residents. The Downtown campus is 12 blocks from the Capitol and includes the Public Policy and Administration master’s degree program, plus degree and certificate programs for midcareer professionals and working-age adults and doctorate-level courses in Educational Leadership. The vision for Sac State Downtown transcends the typical higher-education

facility. “I know it sounds a bit grandiose,” Nelsen says, “but I want our Downtown location to be a place where

students, community and others come for answers.” To achieve that goal, the Institute of Social Research will partner with Valley Vision to study and seek solutions to improve the livability of Sacramento. The partnership will make forecasts and help plan for the city’s long-term success. Other features include the Department of Arts and Letters cooperative program with the Crocker Art Museum, focused on interracial healing through arts. The facility will offer programs focused on innovation and entrepreneurship. There’s no doubt Sac State wants to be California’s capital university, even as UC Davis plans to enter Downtown in the next few years along with private universities that have launched Downtown sites. “I love Sacramento,” Nelsen says. He was named Sac State president in 2015 after serving as chief administrator for the University of Texas-Pan American in Edinburg, Texas. “I personally wanted to be here. We are on the cusp of change. It’s exciting. I want to make sure we offer a first-rate experience.” The Downtown expansion is one piece to Nelsen’s vision for Sac State. Former President Alex Gonzalez pushed to make Sac State a destination university and school of choice for students in the region and beyond. Amenities have been improved, the sports programs enhanced. A new student union was built. Nelsen has focused on the school’s low graduation rates. He takes pride in the improvements. Hispanic student graduation rates climbed from 43

percent to 53 percent from 2015 to 2018, and are higher than the rates for white students. Underrepresented student graduation rates grew from 38 percent to 50 percent, low-income rates from 37 percent to 49 percent, and firstgeneration students from 38 percent to 49 percent. Nelsen would love to reach 60 percent and higher. Recruitment and retention of faculty have improved, and Nelsen is proud of strides made in fund development for the university’s foundation. He expects new student-housing construction will yield from 2,000 to 4,000 beds. Students living on campus help form a stronger school community and lower the number of commuters. Nelsen admits headwinds could slow Sac State’s progress. “Because of the tax system, any recession will have an impact on the money we have to fund our growth and the ability to improve the campus and programs,” he says. “Differed maintenance on campus could also take a toll.” Nelsen refers to more than $500 million in deferred maintenance—a problem he wants to resolve. He hopes to use government-backed bond money to start the replacement and repair of aging buildings and infrastructure. For now, innovation is the word at Sac State—innovation in teaching, learning, research, partnerships and collaboration. The connection between Sac State and the region has become stronger and more profound for everyone. Scot Crocker can be reached at crockerbranding.com. n

Better Angels Steve Sphar and Marisa Bogdanoff

LOCAL ALLIANCE IS DETERMINED TO DEPOLARIZE POLITICS

n Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address on March 4, 1861, on the eve of the Civil War, he made an impassioned plea to the people of the United States, stating, “We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”

JL By Jessica Laskey Meet Your Neighbor

IES NOV n 18

In a nation struggling with political unrest yet again, the idea of appealing to our “better angels” is an important one—one that led to the founding of the aptly named Better Angels nonprofit in 2016. This national citizens’ movement is designed to reduce political polarization in the U.S. by bringing liberals and conservatives together in “red/blue community alliances” through workshops across the country. “I’ve been worried about political polarization for years,” says Steve Sphar, founder and co-chair of the Better Angels Sacramento alliance. “As Americans, our core values are pretty much the same, it’s just that the way we want to see those values get implemented are different. But the media has been painting more and more extreme images—distorted, cartoon images—of each side, which is really what’s making us fight each other.” After the recent presidential election, Sphar noticed an up-tick in this “hyper-

partisanship” and felt like there had to be a better way to communicate across the aisle. He traveled to Virginia to watch a Better Angels workshop in progress and came away inspired to found his own local alliance, which he did in January of this year. “It’s a very structured environment,” the Curtis Park resident explains, who uses his skills as an executive coach and business consultant in his role as workshop moderator. “You don’t just throw out an issue and let people fight. We help people listen to each other.” Natomas resident Marisa Bogdanoff—an information security specialist, sales executive and co-chair of the Sacramento alliance—especially appreciates the opportunity to have conversations that previously felt impossible in the current climate. “Post-election, I felt this extreme divide in all aspects of my life,” explains Bogdanoff, who describes herself as “a conservative Republican woman

who’s also a vegetarian, a mom and a breadwinner.” “Family and even lifelong friends were being divided by politics. It was especially visible in my church community—I go to services at Trinity Cathedral to worship and feel renewed, but there was this elephant in the room. When you hear certain opinions from the pulpit, it has a meaningful impact both in good ways and bad ways.” Bogdanoff took it upon herself to approach the clergy to see if there was a way to address the polarization among the parishioners and was delighted to find that they were open to suggestions. Shelley Mydans—a friend of Sphar’s who also attends Trinity—suggested Bogdanoff help her organize a Better Angels workshop. That was the first in a series that has become a resounding success. “In that first workshop at Trinity, it felt like healing took place,” Sphar says. “Absolutely,” Bogdanoff concurs. “We were able to come together and connect with each other on a human level—not based on stereotypes or caricatures. The workshop helped people realize that you can have different views, but you can also communicate without it becoming hostile.” Better Angels workshops (Sphar and Bogdanoff have organized six so far, with many more in the pipeline) bring together “red” and “blue” participants who are led through a series of exercises in which they discuss stereotypes, are encouraged to ask questions of the other side and come away with actionable items to help them move into the future with more understanding. “I’ve felt empowered to have conversations that before I would have avoided,” Bogdanoff says. “To learn how to have productive, more authentic conversations has been really liberating.” “The immediate, most important outcome is for people to leave feeling different about each other,” Sphar says. “We’re not changing their views, it’s more about personal transformation and spreading love. It’s rare to be able to affect a big issue, but now there’s a proven methodology where we can really make a difference.” For more information, contact Sphar at steve@stevesphar.com or Bogdanoff at marisangottuso@yahoo. com.

ill Calhoun has vivid memories from his NBA career. He remembers when the league created the rule to stop goaltending. He remembers when they introduced the 24-second shot clock. And he remembers the last time the Kings franchise won a championship. He played forward for the Rochester Royals. The year was 1951. The team that would become the Sacramento Kings beat the New York Knicks for the

NBA title. The Kings haven’t touched a championship since. “The town was pretty excited, but fans were nothing like they are today,” Calhoun says. “We had a 4,000-seat arena, and they filled it for every game, but they didn’t go crazy.” Calhoun turns 91 this month. He walks every day in his Reno neighborhood despite bad knees and recent heart surgery. He feels pretty good, considering. Calhoun and Frank “Pep” Saul are the last surviving members of the Royals’ championship team. Saul is 94 and endures with Alzheimer’s. Nobody expected the Royals to beat the Knicks in 1951. Nobody believed they were talented enough to reach the championships. To advance to the final round, the Royals upset the Minneapolis Lakers and George Mikan—a remarkable center whose skills inspired the goaltending rule and 24-second clock. Calhoun played every minute in the

series and guarded Jim Pollard, NBA Hall of Fame forward from Stanford. “I shut him down,” Calhoun says. “I neutralized him.” In those days, the Royals were like the Kings. They were stars in their hometown, but ignored elsewhere. The best players didn’t want to work in the backwater of upstate New York. Calhoun didn’t mind. A kid from San Francisco, he was 19 when the Royals signed him. “I never heard of the NBA before that,” he says. “I showed up in Rochester dressed in California clothes. Everybody else had suits, ties and those hats Easterners used to wear. I stuck out.” Unlike the Kings, the 1951 Royals had something special—chemistry. Calhoun was a defensive wizard. Bobby Wanzer could score from the perimeter. Arnie Risen was fearless around the basket. Arnie Johnson was a fine rebounder. Red Holzman was a natural leader. And Bob Davies was an exquisite playmaker.

“We all got along and our talents complimented each other,” Calhoun says. “A great group of guys.” Calhoun was paid $2,000 for the playoffs and championship. Soon afterward, he was traded to Baltimore. He played four more years with Syracuse and Milwaukee. Today, he follows the Golden State Warriors, not the Kings. He says, “I have no interest in seeing a game that has no meaning. I love the Warriors. They come running down with four guys, each of them has a shot, and they pass the ball.” His favorite Kings team, aside from the 1951 squad, was the 2002 team that almost beat the Lakers in the West Conference Finals. “I loved that team,” the old champ says. “When I saw Vlade Divac make back-door passes, and when I saw their guards playing defense, I knew they were something special.” R.E.

LAND PARK LIVING SUITS THIS ACTIVE MEDIA MOM AND DAD

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

EMM By Elena M. Macaluso Meet Your Neighbor

IES NOV n 18

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

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

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

This past spring, they made a trip to India—Gray once lived in New Delhi—and Singapore. They make annual trips to Rhode Island to visit Gray’s family and Indiana to visit Wood’s family. In between, they do a lot of RV camping. “That’s my happy place,” says Gray.” Adds Woods, “We love heading out in our trailer and finding fun spots to set up shop. We’ve gone surfing, white-water rafting, tubing, etc., then head back to the park and chill for the night.” Destinations include Santa Cruz, Petaluma, Bodega Bay, Placerville and Yogi Bear’s

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

Guests Welcome CITY SHOWS PROGRESS ON SHORT-STAY RENTALS

eople who stay in shortterm rentals when they visit Sacramento don’t need to be next to the Capitol, convention center, Golden 1 Center or Old Sac. Short-term rental guests seem to prefer D Street. Why D Street? It’s impossible to say how that humble byway became the boulevard of choice for the Airbnb crowd, but the numbers don’t lie. Inside Publications filed a Public Records Act request with the city to examine short-term rental documents. The request produced insight on shortterm rental permits—149 issued so far. And there it was: D Street had seen

RG By R.E. Graswich City Beat

IES NOV n 18

more licensed short-term rentals than any other—six. To get into the short-term business, a homeowner pays $125 for the annual permit and agrees to follow the law. Rules prohibit more than six guests per night. And they block absentee landlords from renting more than 90 nights per year. Mini-hotels pay Transit Occupancy Tax, with $427,301 collected from July 2016 to this past March. The documents present a picture of a city trying to get a grip on the disruptive and controversial business of short-term rentals. Records show the city has worked hard to create a system that protects neighborhoods from absentee vultures who buy houses and wreck neighborhoods with relentless parking and noise problems. Yet City Hall doesn’t want to chase away potential business. And the city wants to respect on-site homeowners who make extra money by renting out a room or two. Inside Publications closely examined 103 permits for short-term rentals. The landlords all appeared to be private individuals. Corporate names were not

present, suggesting the short-stay trade is a mom-and-pop hustle in Sacramento. The corporate backbones of shortstay—tech platforms such as Airbnb and HomeAway—are eager to limit their responsibilities. Inside found a series of emails between the city’s business revenue team and an executive from HomeAway in Texas. Short-stay platforms insist they’re just apps. At one point, the HomeAway manager asked, “Regarding the proposed changes to your ordinance, can you tell me if you will be holding the platforms liable for listings without a permit number? Currently, our subscribers/owners are able to put their license/permit number on their listing.” The city’s point person on short-term rentals, Cynthia Smith, alerted her boss, revenue chief Brad Wasson, to the correspondence with HomeAway. Smith wrote, “He seems very open to discussing the compliance requests we have for the short-term rentals. However, he did state that they are just a marketing platform. The company’s purpose is just to give homeowners a place to advertise their property. They

do provide links to specific city code webpages.” Ultimately, operating a short-term rental is a tough business. One poignant email to the city says, “I did try to host but after a month of no booking, I have decided this is not worth the investment and time on my part. Please close out my account.” R.E. Graswich can be reached at reg@graswich.com. n

Community leaders gather to to unveil Old Sacramento's new modern brand and logo. Photo courtesy of Alina Trylyu.

rom the Golden 1 Center and Wide Open Walls to new restaurants and development, Sacramento has undergone impressive cultural growth in recent years, even rebranding itself the farm-to-fork capital. Contrary to its name, Old Sacramento has joined the city’s renaissance. Once known as the West End, Old Sacramento recently launched a new brand and logo to attract visitors and remind residents that the historic corridor has plenty to offer. As the new

tagline proclaims, people just need to “come find it.” Old Sacramento’s new brand and logo—Old Sacramento Waterfront–— were unveiled in August, but according to Emilie Cameron of the Downtown Sacramento Partnership, project manager for the rebrand, the process has been years in the making. “An opportunity came up last year for partners to come together and fund a rebranding project,” says Cameron, who explains the work was funded by various groups including the Downtown Sacramento Foundation, Downtown Sacramento Partnership, City of Sacramento, Visit Sacramento, California State Parks and California State Railroad Museum. The multiple groups illustrate, in part, why rebranding Old Sacramento was so important: with diverse interests invested in the corridor, including the city, state and private businesses, Old Sacramento has worn multiple identities. And from those many faces has come a blurred vision of cohesion.

“That’s why this project was really important,” Cameron says. “Over the course of several decades, there have been different efforts, different logos. So when we went into this we brought in all the partners.” She notes the goal was “to build cohesive identity.” Tasked with the rebrand of Old Sacramento was local marketing agency Misfit, led by creative director Chris Woloshansky and partners Matt Kolbert, Carol Gleeson and Dave Flanagan. “Old Sacramento needed more than an ad campaign,” Flanagan says. “They needed a whole new brand. In fact, they had a thousand brands.” Misfit not only designed a new logo, but a new website and media, tagline,

banners and images that will be on display throughout Old Sacramento. The hope, says Flanagan, “is that people start to see and think about Old Sacramento in a different light.” To identify that new brand, Flanagan notes Misfit set out “to get rid of years and years and years of branding, and really find out what encapsulates Old Sacramento. There were so many moving parts, so many voices and opinions. That was the biggest difficulty. Getting them to a place that they all agreed, and all were excited.” Perhaps the biggest challenge in finding common ground revolved around the corridor’s very name. “The name ‘Old’ sums it up,” Flanagan says. “We found through

research that a lot of voices at the table wanted to get rid of the word ‘Old,’ but we also found that it’s a catch-22. If we had dropped ‘Old,’ there would have been an outcry.” Misfit did redesign the old logo, which featured sepia tones and a Victorian gas lamp. The new logo embraces a bolder, more modern font and subtly moves “Old” to the side and brings the word “waterfront” to center attention, which wasn’t by accident. “By attaching waterfront, now (the logo) has this new vibe,” Flanagan says. According to Cameron, one of the rebranding’s main objectives was to establish that Old Sacramento is a gateway to Sacramento’s waterfront. “Old Sacramento is ground zero for the rebrand, but the goal is to get people to activate the waterfront,” she says. Just as the word “Old” has been moved to the periphery of the new logo, it may come to pass that “Old” eventually is abandoned altogether. But that, says Flanagan, would take time and adjustment. “Over a long time, the hope is that it becomes The Waterfront,” he says. And neither is Old Sacramento’s new brand and waterfront-centered approach just advertising. The city recently completed a $7.7 million, three-

block renovation of the boardwalk in Old Sacramento. Early next year, West Sacramento begins an approximately $5 million project across the river to extend Riverfront Street and include more pedestrian walkways and bike lanes “Like the rest of Sacramento,” says Flanagan, “Old Sacramento is really continuing to thrive, and the waterfront is an aspect that most Sacramentans haven’t really thought of.” Jordan Venema can be reached at jordan.venema@gmail.com. n

A Perfect Fit COUPLE FINDS A PIECE OF HISTORY IN BOULEVARD PARK

olleen and Charlie Hildeburn love old homes. When the couple relocated from Orinda to Sacramento in 2015, finding a classic with good bones and times past was high on their priority list.

CR By Cathryn Rakich Home Insight

IES NOV n 18

Married 31 years with three grown children, the empty-nesters initially rented the “Didion House,” a threestory, 7,000-square-foot home, built in 1910 at the corner of 22nd and T streets, where author Joan Didion lived as a teenager. The Hildeburns even considered buying the famous dwelling. “It was historically fantastic, but it was too much house for us,” Colleen says. Locating another home from a bygone era in the same part of town was the goal. By May 2017, the couple found what they were looking for—a three-bedroom, three-bath American four-square, built in 1908, located in Boulevard Park in Midtown. “The house

was perfect,” notes Colleen. “We love the front porch. We love the big trees. It’s the perfect size.” Charlie, who works in finance, appreciates old houses. “But he’s not handy,” says Colleen with a smile. “So he didn’t want a real project.” With the 2,100-square-foot home, “the difficult stuff had been done,” she adds, including renovations of the kitchen and bathrooms. Respecting the nuances of the mature home—which is listed as a historical landmark with Preservation Sacramento—was important to the previous owners who strived to

maintain the integrity of the house throughout the refurbishing. “The kitchen is delightful,” Colleen says. White shaker cabinets and black granite countertops complement a marble-topped island. Antique light fixtures hang above the stainless-steel sink and a narrow butler pantry (aka bar) with extra storage separates the kitchen from the dining room. The Hildeburns chose a blackand-white paint scheme for most of the interior, including the extra wide staircase that was previously carpeted. A wall-to-wall rug on the second-floor landing muffles heavy footsteps and makes the walk from the guest bedroom

to the bathroom “cozy” for visitors. “I’ve never done wall-to-wall carpeting because old houses didn’t have it,” says Colleen. “But it really makes a difference.” An upstairs sunporch was made into an interior room, which the Hildeburns had to re-plaster because the walls were buckling. The master bedroom is “not grand,” admits Colleen, “but it’s got a great big bathroom,” with marble countertops and a comfortably spacious tub. “They did a really nice job making it look old, but it’s new.” The previous owners gave the landscaping a makeover, adding a lower-level lounging area with a fire pit. Colleen changed out many of the plants for repeat-blooming roses and a lemon tree. An herb box hangs outside the kitchen within easy reach. Decorating the older home was not a problem for a couple who love antiques. And even though the transition to a smaller house forced them to part with many treasures collected over the years, they kept

several pieces that were especially important, including a piano from the 1800s and two large portraits of Charlie’s great, great, great grandparents, which hang in the living room. The Hildeburns enjoy the urban setting that Midtown offers. “We walk everywhere or ride our bikes,” says Colleen, who grew up in Land Park and whose mother now lives in Midtown. “I can walk to mom’s house.” Colleen’s father, Herb Jackson, who served as Sacramento County district attorney from 1978 to 1982, passed away in 2010. “All his family is still here—my aunts, uncles and cousins,” she adds. “I think Boulevard Park is great. The old homes. The divided streets with lawn in between. We found a house and neighborhood we love, and it suits us perfectly for this stage in our lives.” To recommend a house or garden for Home Insight, contact Cathryn Rakich at crakich@surewest.net. n

Donate Here! SACRAMENTO FOOD BANK WORKS TO FIGHT FOOD INSECURITY

et me introduce you to Kelly Siefkin. She’s vice president of communications and marketing for Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. She talks fast, and is quick with numbers and statistics, so I’m struggling to keep up. Today, she’s wearing a green-patterned dress with green earrings and black flats, and carrying her cell phone. We’re touring the food bank campus on Bell Avenue—110,000 square feet on 12 acres. It’s a big facility, but the food bank feeds a lot of hungry people in and around the farm-to-fork capital. Here, you can see your donations and food bank volunteers at work. In the first warehouse, the “Wall of Pride” draws attention to the companies whose employees have volunteered their time. Below the wall, fans move the air while a crew packs distribution boxes for seniors. Colorful trucks (there’s a fleet of 10) are parked at the loading docks.

On the side of one truck it says that one in five people in Sacramento County suffers from food insecurity. What does that mean? In short, there are a lot of people, including children and seniors, who do not know where their next meal will come from—an estimated 230,000 people in the county fall into that gap, Siefkin says. The food bank supplies food to 157,000 people every month. Ponder those numbers while we continue the tour. Another warehouse contains pallets of canned and boxed food stored on racks. Local watermelons and cabbages fill bins and boxes. Adzuki beans and rice are stored in large bags. In the last warehouse, more volunteers check sell-by dates and sort donations into categories. Siefkin calls it “reverse grocery shopping.” Empty bins that say “Donate Here!” wait to be filled. The food bank purchases a lot of the food it distributes. The cans don’t have dents and the packaging looks like what you would find in a grocery store. It also receives USDA food commodities with their official-looking labels. Donations come from the community, including restaurants and local farms, like Durst Organic Growers (those watermelons, for example), David J. Elliot & Son, Greene & Hemly, Goldbud Farms and Vierra Farms, and corporations.

Siefkin was excited about the refrigerators, racks and pallet jacks that would be arriving the following day. They will be distributed to the food bank’s partner agencies—there are 220 organizations in the area—everything from churches to food pantries. Smaller agencies sometimes lack equipment and proper storage facilities, but they are the first defense in the war against hunger. Despite the positive news about the economy and low unemployment, Siefkin says the number of working poor and underemployed people in Sacramento is increasing. Many people are forced to work two jobs with zero benefits. Without pay increases to cover rising rents, families can’t afford to pay for housing and buy food. “Sacramento is an incredibly expensive place to live,” she says. While it’s not the Bay Area, gas prices and rent are high.

Siefkin says, “[Most] people don’t have a clue where their food comes from,” so part of the food bank’s job is to educate people. Clients often don’t know how to cook items, like adzuki beans or rice, from scratch, so the food bank hands out recipe cards. “Fear of [different] food is real,” she says, and

it is passed down from parents to their children. Here’s one of the many programs that caught my attention. Produce for All distributes fresh produce on a monthly schedule at various locations. Working with its partner agencies, the food bank chooses neighborhood sites—schools and health clinics, for example—because people need to be able to get there (and carry their food home) without having to take a bus or drive a car. You can use the online “food finder” tool to find distribution sites. Produce for All distributed 506,884 pounds of food in the last fiscal year, Siefkin says, and it is on track to do the same this year. Can anyone show up and receive free food? The answer is yes. “We’re here to serve and be judgment free,” Siefkin says. “Food is often the entry point,” for families, but they can also access other services: nutrition, technology, life skills and English classes, as well as clothing distribution and more.

Short Circuits E-CARS ENTICE, BUT DON’T SOLVE DEEPER PROBLEMS

lectric cars have been the wave of the future since a long time in the past. They have promised cleaner air and zero trips to the gas station. The plug-in electric cars I’m talking about are zero-emission vehicles, powered solely by batteries, not hybrids powered by gasoline generators. Governments have incentivized electric car purchases with hefty tax credits and HOV lane privileges. It’s possible to get a $7,500 federal tax credit and a $2,500 state rebate for an electric car. Lately, there’s been growing interest in electric vehicles. Tesla seems to have made battery cars sexier. Other manufacturers have refined technology and are producing more models. New

S W By Walt SeLfert Getting There

IES NOV n 18

California laws will require Uber and Lyft to shift toward zero-emission vehicles, and France and other countries want to eliminate cars with internal combustion engines. UC Davis engineering professor Dan Sperling regards electric vehicles, along with autonomous and shared vehicles, as part of the mobility “revolution.” A recent Sacramento Bee opinion piece by transportation consultant Karen Skelton said, “We are in the beginning stages of an electric transportation revolution essential to preserving the planet.” Yet consumers have not been so enthusiastic. California has more than 400,000 electric cars, more than the rest of the country put together. Nationally there were only 540,000 electric cars on the road in November 2016—from a fleet of about 260 million. That’s two-tenths of a percent. Even with the current uptick in interest and sales, electric cars represent less than 1 percent of cars sold in the U.S. Probably the chief problem for consumers is “range anxiety.” Electric cars can travel anywhere between 80 and around 300 miles on a charge.

That’s fine for a second family car and trips around town, but a major drawback for single-car families and long journeys. Having to spend hours recharging batteries every couple of hundred miles is not practical on a long-distance family vacation. A Nissan Leaf can get 150 miles on a charge. Tesla models broke the 200-mile barrier and its Model S can go 315 miles, but it costs $71,000. Few, if any, electric cars cost as much as the Model S, but electric cars are expensive. Even with tax breaks and rebates, the price tag can still be higher than a car with an internal combustion engine. Electric cars don’t eliminate emissions. They eliminate tail-pipe emissions. The emissions are displaced to remote power plants, and many of

those plants use dirty fossil fuels. As the energy sources for power generation become cleaner, the amount of air and carbon pollution will be reduced. But all sources of energy, including nuclear, solar and wind, have negative environmental impacts, even though those impacts may be less than coal, oil or natural gas. Electric car batteries are heavy, 1,000 pounds versus 40 pounds for a lead/ acid battery. And they have to provide enough energy to move their own weight. They occupy a lot of space that could be used for cargo and may not work well in extreme cold or heat. They need scarce materials to produce. Their recycling is still in its infancy. Many of these problems can be dealt with in a variety of ways. Car manufacturers are improving battery technology, increasing electric car range, shrinking charging times and lowering prices. We can expect innovations to continue. But observers believe, because of physical limits, that advances are very unlikely to be as fast or dramatic as with computer technology. More importantly for me, electric cars don’t do anything to reduce traffic congestion or parking needs. As populations grow, that’s serious. They have all the problems that our millions of current cars have, most of which are heavy vehicles with a single occupant. Electric cars don’t do anything to reduce deaths, injuries and property damage caused by crashes. Electric cars don’t increase physical activity or improve public health like walking and biking. It’s not clear how utilities would create enough generating capacity to power millions of vehicles. Will electric cars preserve the planet? I believe they have problems that are profound and intractable. Admittedly, my perspective is skewed by a preference for human powered transportation, so I could be wrong. Perhaps the electric car’s future will unfold in a way I can’t envision and finally deliver on its promise. Walt Seifert is executive director of Sacramento Trailnet, an organization devoted to promoting greenways with paved trails. He can be reached at bikeguy@surewest.net. n

Alive & Well NEWS OF MY DEATH PRECEDES ME

have good news for all of you. Most of you, that is. I’m not dead. Apparently, a few of my readers thought, as evidenced by the voicemail I recently received, that I was singing in the celestial choir. Lorelei, a nice woman from Lodi, reported that she’d sent a donation for my daughter’s charity, Chispa Project, which starts children’s libraries in Honduras. However, the post office returned it stamped, “Recipient Deceased.” We played phone tag, so I left a message in my best ghost voice, “I’m not dead!”

NB By Norris Burkes Spirit Matters

IES NOV n 18

Truthfully, I’m a bit worried that I may be responsible for starting this “false narrative.” One day back in 2004, I stood at my Elk Grove mailbox extracting tons of junk mail addressed to me. Normally, I’d trash most of it, but with so much identity theft, I was worried that someone might want to become Norris Burkes. So I began following the advice of consumer advocates and brought it inside to shred. However, with all the unsolicited credit card applications I received on a daily basis, my shredder was on its last leg. Like most of you, I was tired of sifting through mounds of credit card offers. I started wondering what it might be like if I could obtain the coveted designation, “deceased recipient.” No, I wasn’t going to fake my death so my wife could collect the life insurance. Nor was I planning the really convincing kind of demise where folks would actually bury me. But maybe, I thought, there was a kind of heaven where I would no longer get travel

brochures, carwash deals or credit card applications. That’s when the deceit began. Standing right there at the mailbox, I tore open a credit card application. I grabbed the return envelope and scrawled “DECEASED. RETURN TO SENDER.” I thought about smearing catsup on the envelope, but I didn’t want the United States postal inspectors charging me with sending biohazards through the mail. Without further drama, I dropped it in the community mail slot and raised the flag. I know what you’re thinking. “Aren’t you a chaplain? Isn’t telling people you’re dead kind of like lying?” Honestly, I gave it some consideration. But at the time I thought maybe it wasn’t really lying. Maybe it was simply telling the truth early. It was an advanced level of truth telling. Yeah, that sounded even better—Advanced Truth Telling. The ATT philosophy was much like the motivational speakers of the day

who urged their audience to simply “Announce what you believe and act as though it’s true.” Or like the televangelists who would say, “Name it and claim it.” Here’s how ATT worked in my case: I believed that one day I’d be dead. I asserted it in my heart and, voila, one day it would likely become true. So that wasn’t really lying, right? Again, it was more like anticipating the truth ahead of time. I repeated this act several more times until I felt a pang of conscience that caused me to stop. Still, I’m more than pleased that the junk mail slackened significantly. Of course, now I have another problem. Not only were a few contributions returned, it seems that my wife is getting phone solicitations for my burial plots. Fortunately, she usually stops those callers by asking, “Yes, but can I use your prepaid envelope to send his ashes?” Norris Burkes can be reached at comment@thechaplain.net. n

ree planting is in Sacramento’s DNA. Early residents created a canopy of shade trees along city streets to make our scorching summers bearable. The Sacramento Tree Foundation boasts it has planted well over a million trees since the group’s founding in 1990. Trees in Sacramento have lowered ambient temperatures and electricity use, cleaned the air and water, increased property values and improved our quality of life. The foundation’s Greenprint program aims to plant millions more throughout the region. Sacramento County residents may qualify for free shade trees from the Sacramento Shade Tree program sponsored by SMUD in partnership with the foundation. Fall, winter and early spring are “super good times to plant a tree,” says Pamela Sanchez, Sacramento Tree Foundation arborist. Whether free or

purchased, a new tree represents a significant investment of time, money and future care. It’s not enough to pick out a tree, select a spot, dig a hole and plunk it in the ground. Roots are the key to a tree’s survival. If its roots are circling or kinked, a tree is doomed. Chuck Ingels dedicated his life to teaching and advocating for Sacramento landscapes, home gardening and agriculture as Sacramento County’s UC Cooperative Extension advisor. Last April, he conducted a training session for local Master Gardeners about why newly planted trees fail. Ingels showed us the latest victim at the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center. Another young shade tree had toppled over, exposing roots wrapped in a circle rather than radiating out into the soil. “This is deadly to trees, and it happens all the time,” he told the group. “This is why a lot of people come into our office and say, ‘My tree died and I don’t know what I did to it.’ We don’t often think that the roots could be completely girdled. But if you dig it out, you will see. We need to make sure that they correct this problem before they plant. This is really important for people to know.” Before planting a tree, Ingels advocated rinsing the soil from the

PLA E R BEFO

roots, teasing the roots apart, cutting off any that circle or kink at the point where it bends and planting the tree bare-root. Arborist Sanchez agrees people need to rough up a tree’s root ball, loosening and straightening out roots before planting. “Many people are afraid they will damage the tree. However, they do more damage by being too nice,” she advises. Sanchez warns trees should be well watered before and after planting, especially if you are going to cut away some roots. Then, put on your gloves and massage the root ball, looking for big circling roots. If a root is kinked or bent, cut it back to where it is straight, or take it out altogether. Roots should grow in a radial pattern. It’s tempting to invest in a larger tree to make an immediate impact. I’ve heard the five-gallon trees provided by Sacramento Shade disparagingly called “SMUD-lets.” These younger trees are actually a good size to plant. They are much less likely to have developed root or structural problems. Bigger trees are often buried too deep as nursery workers plant them in ever-larger pots. One study found that 15-gallon trees had as much as 8 inches of excess soil above the root collar (the spot where the trunk meets the roots). Brush away soil to expose the root collar

N NTI

and cut off any roots that have grown from the trunk or up into the excess soil. Your goal is to plant the root collar slightly above grade. If purchasing a tree, be informed and picky. Feel free to tip the tree out of the container to examine the roots. Grab its trunk and wiggle it from side to side to make sure the roots provide even support. Evaluate the growth structure to make sure it’s a quality tree. During Ingels’ training session, he said, “Somebody needs to write about this.” I’m fulfilling that request in memory of this wonderful man, who passed away at home from cancer Aug. 12. He was 61. He leaves a tremendous legacy in the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center, in his books and other writings, and through the many people he taught and inspired. Thank you, Chuck. Our trees thank you, too.

WILLIAM ISHMAEL EXPERIMENTS WITH MATERIALS TO CREATE ART WORTH TALKING ABOUT

JL By Jessica Laskey Artist Spotlight

f there’s one thing you need to know about William Ishmael’s home and studio, tucked off Fair Oaks Boulevard near Watt Avenue, it’s this: He has artwork in the shower. If that sounds odd, allow me to explain why it seems natural in the

IES NOV n 18

stunning abode Ishmael shares (and designed) with his husband, landscape architect David Gibson. Art is simply part of life for Ishmael, which you can tell from the wide range of works hung everywhere you look. Some are by friends, some by Ishmael. Others are collectibles from Gibson’s trips

abroad. (The doors throughout their home, for example, are from 17thcentury France). So why not have a painting hanging in the shower in the guest bathroom downstairs? “We like looking at it,” the Kentucky native says with a shrug. “We thought our guests would too.”

Ishmael’s natural ease regarding the life artistic comes from more than 25 years as an artist, as well as 40 years as an engineer. (He worked on the Sacramento railyards from 1989 to 2007, an experience he references in a commission for the new Kaiser medical facility at 5th

and J streets). When creating quick watercolor landscapes on his breaks from work, he discovered the joys of large-scale painting and started to experiment with the unusual materials and techniques that now characterize his work. Ishmael is always trying new things. In the light-filled studio upstairs at his home, Ishmael’s current projects are laid out flat on tables that take up most of the room. He’s experimenting with latex and sand over here, rust created with vinegar over there. His trials of India ink on Plexiglas hang together as a visual reminder of a solo show he did for Tim Collom Gallery. And the shower in the bathroom? You guessed it: It’s filled with paintings. “Once all the table space is taken, that means I can take a break,” Ishmael says. As relaxed as he is about his work environment, Ishmael takes his work very seriously. He spends the morning in his studio, then takes a midday break to attend meetings for his community commitments. He was appointed to the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission in 2017 and chairs its

Art in Public Places committee. He’s also on the board of Kingsley Art Club, which sponsors the prestigious Crocker-Kingsley art competition. “This flow works great for my life,” Ishmael says, pausing to ruffle his Labradoodle, Jasper. “I like alone time for a while, but then I get lonesome and like to be out in my community. Plus, I often need to leave a piece alone for a while to see what’s going to happen before moving on.” Ishmael is inspired by various concepts in his work, including the Buddhist maxim “form is emptiness.” But what is his foremost thought when creating works of art that tease the brain, as well as please the eye? “Experiment,” he says. “And don’t be precious with the materials.” That would explain the paintings in the shower.

f o e c i l S n e v Hea REAL PIE COMPANY RETURNS AND DELIVERS THE GOODS

IES NOV n 18

ie is one of my favorite things. I will take pie over cake any day. I will take pie over doughnuts and pie over ice cream (or even better, ice cream over pie, if you know what I mean). When I learned Real Pie Company was to open a few blocks from my home, I was thrilled. After several appetizing visits over the last six months, the joy continues. Several years ago, owner and professional baker Kira O’Donnell opened a small pie shop on 12th Street in Alkali Flat. For various reasons, none of which involved the quality and deliciousness of the pies, the business failed. It was, as many food-obsessed friends noted, a flash of flavor, a singular opportunity to delight in sweet

GS By Greg Sabin Restaurant Insider

sensation, and a too-common flameout on the culinary landscape. The demise of O’Donnell’s pies Downtown belonged in the same category as the closures of Doughbot, the experimental doughnut shop on 10th Street, and David Berkley, the specialty grocer, sandwich and wine store at Pavilions. Their exits were major losses. But Real Pie Company is back. This time around, O’Donnell and her husband, Fred Babich, have built a larger space to meet their needs. On 24th Street, between Broadway and X Street, the new RPC combines a spacious kitchen with a good-sized and well-lighted dining room. The vibe is small town, with photos of local farms, fresh and dried flowers, and adorable signs offering a free slice on your birthday or if you get a good report card. My wife said the scene reminded her of the small Pacific Northwest towns of her childhood. Instead of writing about Real Pie Company after it opened in late spring, I wanted to wait until prime pie season. November is the month when Americans are gripped by pie-fever. O’Donnell’s new enterprise has the cure. So here we go. Let’s start with the key lime pie. It’s a keeper. The subtle green and

yellow hue of the filling, the beautifully granular graham crust and the lipcoating whipped cream topping all come together to make a perfect version of this Floridian classic. And the butterscotch-banana cream pie might have the key lime beat. With the rich, smoky tang of butterscotch and the full-tilt flavor of fresh banana, it’s right in my wheelhouse. Old-school favorites such as chocolate cream, coconut cream and lemon meringue are also available and provide prime examples of each style. Naturally, fresh fruit selections change with the seasons. But the jumble-berry, a mix of Marion blackberries, cherries, wild blueberries and raspberries will always be on the menu. The crust on these beauties is wonderfully heavy with butter, yet still flaky and decadent. Depending on the season, customers will find plums, apricots, apples, figs and any number of locally farmed (and sometimes backyard harvested) treats filling these crusty marvels. Occasionally, a crumble top does the job. Real Pie Company makes one of the best. For the holiday season, O’Donnell is bringing out a special treat, cazuela pie, which is a mixture of pumpkin, sweet potato and coconut. Similar in

texture to a traditional pumpkin pie, the cazuela is slightly less sweet than Thanksgiving pumpkin, but with a dash of coconut for that heady, day-atthe-beach flavor. This is one to bring to a big family dinner. It will not only impress, it will delight. Savory pies round out the menu with heavy comfort and dead-on execution. The obligatory chicken potpie puts together that killer crust with a stout mixture of chicken and chunky veggies. With the expertly executed shepherd’s pie, you could feed three to four people, topping the feast with slices of dessert pie. Take heed, however. Daily inventory is limited. Don’t count on your favorite pie to be available on a weeknight and especially on a weekend evening. Most days, a handful of items are sold out by mid-afternoon. On some days, the majority of the menu is gone by dinnertime. So plan ahead. Call ahead. And don’t wait until the last minute if you’re buying a pie for a special holiday gathering. Consider yourself warned. Real Pie Company is at 2425 24th St.; (916) 838-4007; realpiecompany.com. Greg Sabin can be reached at gregsabin@hotmail.com. n

Another Reason to have the right living trust: It proves that you are not a turkey... • A good estate plan gives your loved ones something to be truly thankful for. • The right trust will keep your assets from being gobbled up in probate court. • Planning with an experienced lawyer can prevent fowl play. • Doing things right can also keep you from rolling over in your gravy.

All kidding aside, the Thanksgiving season can be a great time to talk about your plans. When you are ready for peace of mind, please call me or visit www.wyattlegal.com. I’d be glad to help.
