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

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

he “Twelve Days of Christmas” song is still fresh in my mind in early January. As every child knows, the festive tune tells the story of a series of gifts given to a loved one that grow in quantity each day.

CH By Cecily Hastings Publisher’s Desk

Local artist and gallery owner Tim Collom, who’s also an accomplished Realtor, experienced a similar joy when he set out to offer some signed giclee art prints to help raise funds for the Paradise fire victims. “Like everyone, I was just blown away at the devastation of this community. And I had no connection to that area at all. But the whole darn town had burned to the ground,” Collom says. In 2017, Collom created a large, colorful painting of the entire state of California. Previously, he specialized in landscapes common to the state’s major regions, including Tahoe, the

Wine Country, the Capitol, beaches and the like. “Someone suggested I combine them into one painting,” Collom says. After selling hundreds of paintings over the years, he loved the California piece enough to keep it for himself. “The only one,” he adds. But the image became iconic to Collom. He sold prints of all sizes, and generously donated prints to charity fundraisers. “This was the first image that came to mind when I thought I could raise funds. I chose it because it is the entire state that was so saddened by the two regional fires,” Collom says.

Tim’s original goal was to raise $4,000 in print sales. He worked with local HFA Print Gallery to determine the cost of 100 prints, plus packing and shipping. The prints were sold for $40, plus tax. They promised delivery by Christmas. He and his gallery launched the fundraiser Nov. 12, using Collom’s extensive social media audience for his art business. And boy, did he underestimate the demand! The first day brought $35,000 in orders after it went viral on social media. “We were blown away, yet very anxious that we could manage the demand,” Collom says. “We were

worried that our website would crash, but thankfully it didn’t.” As sales grew every day, he began to worry about how the money would best directly benefit the victims. Gratefully, one of his Facebook fans introduced him to her husband, Brian Rice, president of California Professional Firefighters. Collom met with Rice and decided to donate the funds to the organization’s foundation after realizing that firefighters are literally the boots on the ground and know a community’s needs firsthand. “What I loved was that they issue $250 debit cards to each victim registered with FEMA. They can spend it on whatever they need,” Collom says. “It was the perfect solution. Onehundred percent went to victims.” Bay Area media coverage helped broaden the appeal. A social media post by U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris brought a fresh audience that kept the sales coming in. By Nov. 24, the campaign ended after reaching $150,000. “Everyone involved was exhausted, and this included me, my gallery staff and the printer. And we had reached the timeframe where Christmas delivery was not possible,” Collom says. But another twist came when they started planning for Collom to sign all 4,000 prints as promised. The signing—which was still not complete when I interviewed Collom in early

December—took an enormous amount of his time, mostly at night. And this was despite a system to organize the process, including having a page-turner at his side. “I’m certainly not complaining, because this is my contribution, and a completely insignificant one after what the firefighters went through. Keep in mind that 55 of them lost their own homes.” Collom reports print sales came from around the world, but more than 75 percent came from California residents. It was a glorious day when Collom handed the California Professional Firefighters Foundation a check for $151,520 on Nov. 28. Brian Rice received the money at a local fire station. Collom brought the large original painting along for folks to see. Sort of by accident, the firefighters started signing the back. “I was delighted when I saw them doing that,” he says. “I was totally blown away by the generosity and kindness of folks. I’m so proud to be a part of this wonderful community. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for the support,” Collom adds. The experience was the highlight of Collom’s life so far. “No question!” he adds for emphasis. In fact, the United States is the most generous country on the planet, by far.

Americans are moved to give large and small for those in need every day of the year. But the genius of this beautiful small print is that it takes a cash donation one step further. By hanging the work in your home or office, you are reminded every day that you were part of a generous community that takes care of people in need. And hopefully, it will lead to a lifelong habit of helping others with your time and treasure.

Award-Winning Businesses CHAMBER HONORS THOSE MAKING POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO COMMUNITY

he East Sacramento Chamber of Commerce recently presented its 2018 Cecily Hastings Business of the Year award to East Sac Hardware, which opened in 1951 and is owned by Sheree Johnston. The award, named

for Cecily Hastings who founded the neighborhood chamber 22 years ago, recognizes a business that has demonstrated a considerable track record of positive contributions to the community. “In the last 10 years, after Sheree took over running the store from her husband, she has created an extraordinary retail shop,” says Hastings, chamber board member and publisher of Inside Publications. “With both exterior and interior designs, she has created a masterpiece. Retail is extremely challenging with intense competition from not only Home Depot, but also Amazon.” In addition, Johnston generously supports neighborhood

causes, including Friends of East Sacramento’s McKinley Rose Garden, Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour, Pops in the Park and many others. She was honored with the Sacramento Business Journal’s Women Who Mean Business Award in 2018, among hundreds of women who were nominated. The 2018 Lisa Schmidt Volunteer of the Year Award was given to Cindy Leathers and Kelli DeMarco, who co-chaired the community effort to upgrade the playground at the East Lawn Children’s Park. Named for former volunteer chamber director Lisa Schmidt, the award recognizes individuals who have gone above and beyond in the community by

donating their time and effort to make Sacramento a brighter place to live and work. “These women took a city park project well beyond what was modestly planned by the city,” Hastings says. The pair raised more than $135,000 in in-kind and cash donations from corporations and individuals. The renovated park—which Leathers and DeMarco turned into a community effort—will be open for business in early 2019. SacYard Community Tap House + Beer Garden, owned by Dan and Melody Thebeau, won the chamber’s New Business of the Year Award. The 1725 33rd St. location was home to a

HOT CHOCOLATE FOR CHARITY McKinley Village Art Walk includes “Wildlife on a Ferris Wheel” by Jim Piskoti. former automotive garage. Inside, a salvaged wood-truss ceiling shelters an indoor/outdoor bar space with 24 taps to support a rotating selection of celebrated craft brew. The Special Place Award, which recognizes businesses and places that distinguish East Sacramento, went to the McKinley Village Art Walk. The walk features 10 public art installations designed specifically for McKinley Village by regional artists, including Marc Foster, Gina Werfel, Jeff Myers, Helen Post and lighting designer Michael Sestak. More art will follow as the development is built out. McKinley Village developer Phil Angelides assembled a community panel led by public art expert Shelly Willis to make the artist selections. Angelides also named McKinley Village’s streets and parks in honor of Sacramento artists and arts leaders, including former Sacramento Mayor Burnett Miller who recently passed away.

“Our community is much the richer for the thoughtful approach and attention to detail that is the hallmark of the McKinley Village Art Walk,” Hastings says. For more information visit sacmetroarts.org/programs/publicart/mckinley-village-art.

East Sacramento resident Sarah Caples says that ever since her sons participated with other neighborhood kids in a lemonade stand last summer,

the boys had planned to sell hot chocolate in the Fab 40s during the high-traffic holiday season. “They wanted to be little entrepreneurs and make some money,” Caples says. “We were talking with

an average attendance of 13 people per workshop. “Female officers come in and talk about what the pathway to get their job was like, what doing the job is like, and to excite interest in these young women.” Harris believes the workshops have already proven effective, and he anticipates continuing the program in 2019. “A couple of young ladies are seriously interested in going to the academy,” he says. “There’s no reason to quit while we’re having success.”

OPEN MIC NIGHT East Sacramento craft brewery Sactown Union, which boasts one of the largest indoor/outdoor taprooms in the area, recently started filling the space with a weekly open mic night. Hosted by local musician Autumn Sky, the event happens every Monday from 7 to 9:30 p.m., with signups starting at 6:30 p.m. For a shot of courage before stepping up to the mic, grab a glass of Ode’Leia, Sactown Union’s “Star Wars”-themed Mexican Lager.

them at dinner one night, just sharing that good business owners give back to the community.” Kaleb, 8, Levi, 7, and Judah, 5, decided to donate a share of their hot chocolate profits to charity. But after hearing about the devastation in Paradise, they elected to give every penny to the Camp Fire Evacuation Relief Fund. Each Friday and Saturday night in December, the Caples boys manned their stand on 43rd Street, selling hot chocolate and cookies to the throngs of people enjoying the holiday decorations that adorned the neighborhood. “We just want to show the kids that even though they’re little, they can still do big things,” Caples says.

WATER VAULT LAWSUIT The attorney who represented residents in a lawsuit against the city of Sacramento for allowing the McKinley Village housing development in East Sacramento has sued the city over its plan to construct a concrete vault for sewage and rain runoff under McKinley Park. The lawsuit to stop the McKinley Water Vault was filed in November, just one month after the City Council approved an environmental impact report on the project.

IES JAN n 19

If constructed, the vault would store sewage and rain runoff during severe storms, which currently can cause minor flooding and sanitary sewer outflows in the neighborhood. Irvine-based attorney Stephen R. Cook filed the lawsuit on behalf of a group called Citizens for a Safe and Sewage-Free McKinley Park. In the McKinley Village case, a state appeals court judge ordered the city to further explain its traffic study, but did not prohibit the construction of the 336-unit development. Opponents of the McKinley Water Vault have questioned the necessity and location of the project, and the lawsuit cites noise, vibration and airquality issues as potential problems. The project is expected to take 18 to 24 months to complete. The city will not comment on ongoing litigation.

EAST PORTAL PERK UP Students from St. Mary School recently pitched in to perk up nearby East Portal Park. Students and veteran volunteers put a fresh coat of paint on wooden benches, picnic tables, light poles, road poles and the bleachers at the baseball diamond. The East Portal entrance sign, which had grown worn and faded with age,

also received a multi-colored paint enhancement.

WOMEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT According to a 2017 audit of the city’s gender and racial diversity, females are underrepresented in the Sacramento Police Department, accounting for only 32 percent of all employees. To combat the disparity, the city and SPD have partnered to create Behind the Badge, a monthly workshop that hopes to inspire young women to pursue careers in law enforcement. “The city has adopted a policy wherein we want our staff to reflect the gender and ethnicity of the city,” says District 3 Councilmember Jeff Harris. Behind the Badge has been held once a month at Natomas High School for young women 14 years and older, with

The Sacramento Zoo welcomes a new clan of meerkats.

UPPING THE PACE Visitors to Sutter Health’s new SeniorCare PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) facility—which opened in the River District in December—will notice the lively artwork that decorates the 45,000-square-foot center. That’s because Sutter Health retained Art Consulting Services—a local woman-owned firm—to develop a unique package for its elderly patients. ACS worked with an art selection committee comprised of area interior designers, clinicians and Sutter leadership, as well as with current PACE patients to find the perfect artistic balance. “They were funny and outspoken about not wanting ‘old people art’ in

their new facility,” says ACS principal Kira Stewart. “It was really inspiring!” The new state-of-the-art facility— located at 444 N. Third Street—boasts black-and-white photos of musicians like the Beatles and Elvis alongside vibrant abstract paintings by Roseville artist Margarita Chaplinska, as well as wall space for the seniors’ own creations. PACE is a nonprofit, all-inclusive health plan that offers daily activities at the day center, roundtrip transportation to appointments and in-home medical care to adults 55 and older as an alternative to residence at a nursing home. For more information, visit sutterhealth.org/lp/pace.

ZOO’S COOL ‘KATS For the first time in its history, the Sacramento Zoo is now home to an all-female clan of meerkats from the Brevard Zoo in Florida. Contrary to what the name suggests, a meerkat is not a feline but rather a small carnivore belonging to the mongoose family native to Africa. These gregarious animals spend much of their lives in underground burrows in large family groups of up to 40 individuals. This species is specially adapted to life in the Kalahari Desert of southern Africa, making them exceptionally

People Power HOW A CITIZENS GROUP CAN MUSCLE THE CITY COUNCIL

ost people can think of better ways to spend time than volunteering for a City Hall committee that promises hours of hair-splitting budget analysis and endless arguments over where to spend $100 million in taxpayer cash. And here’s another disincentive. The hours and energy might add up to absolutely nothing—a complete waste of time. Maybe the City Council will follow the volunteers’ recommendations. Or maybe it won’t. There are no obligations. That’s the cynical view. But there’s another, more enlightened way to look at the Measure U Community Advisory

RG By R.E. Graswich City Beat

IES JAN n 19

Committee to be formed in February by Sacramento’s political and civic leadership. With unity, clarity and purpose, the group can demand serious attention from the City Council—and get it. Since the Measure U tax hike passed with 56 percent voter approval in November, the city has been accepting applications for the public committee that will advise on where and how to spend the windfall. The measure doubles Sacramento’s special recession sales tax to one full penny and makes it permanent. The surcharge is expected to bring about $100 million into City Hall each year. While the law gives the City Council total discretion in spending the money, the campaign for passage highlighted the element of citizen input—a mandated public advisory committee. Deadline to sign up is Jan. 9 at 5 p.m. The application is available online at engagesac.org/measureu. The process is simple, requiring basic information, details about relevant experience and a statement explaining why you would make an absolutely perfect addition to the committee.

If you would like to apply but are out of practice with writing personal statements, ask any college freshman who successfully charmed his or her way into a decent university. There are books and counseling services to help. Better still, talk to your City Councilmember or Mayor Darrell Steinberg. They each get to pick one Measure U advisory committee member. The council’s Personnel and Public Employees Committee gets six additional picks, meaning 15 lucky Sacramento residents will comprise the final group. Populating citizen committees is a refined art at City Hall. When I worked for Mayor Kevin Johnson, I helped fill many seats on various public committees, from animal services to preservation and planning and design. And I watched how other City Council members handled the chore. Basically, it was a game of political payoff and expediency. Most councilmembers (including the mayor) cared little or nothing about the city’s numerous community committees. They dished out committee slots as rewards to supporters or eager folks hoping to

break into politics. If you are thinking about running for school board or City Council, a civic committee post is an excellent kick off. Most advisory committee jobs require only that the applicant live in the district overseen by the City Council member who makes the appointment. The Measure U committee comes with a few extra requirements. There’s one seat for a young person, age 16 to 24. There’s a seat for someone with experience in affordable housing. The committee will have one member from a taxpayer group, and one from the world of capitalism—a businessowner. The committee will need a trauma or mental health expert, and someone with public health or environmental justice experience, whatever that means. Clearly, the definitions are loose, giving the council room to maneuver. Nine remaining seats are open to anyone chosen by the council. Citizen committees typically do grunt work that helps set the stage for City Council action. They operate in the background. The public rarely knows or cares what happens in committee

Selling Real Estate Is Our Passion. Making Our Clients Happy is Our Promise. WITH UNITY, CLARITY AND PURPOSE, THE GROUP CAN DEMAND SERIOUS ATTENTION FROM THE CITY COUNCIL—AND GET IT. meetings. But the Measure U committee can be different. “This new advisory committee will help make sure tax dollars are being spent wisely and in ways that best serve our communities,” says city manager Howard Chan, who from my experience is one of the most honest and nononsense bureaucrats to step foot into City Hall. The key word in Chan’s statement is “help.” The City Council has no obligation to follow any advice from the new advisory committee. Under state law that allowed Measure U to pass with a simple majority, the money must be spent without earmarks—it goes wherever the City Council says. But no other advisory committee operates with a public mandate to watch over $100 million annually. If the council ignores the committee’s advice, a determined group of 15 citizens can shame the council and mayor. The committee can hold press conferences.

Measure U passed with a promise of transparency. With loudly proclaimed independence, the community advisory committee holds leverage over the City Council. Get your application in today. Two information sessions on the Measure U Community Advisory Committee will be held Thursday, Jan. 3, 6–7 p.m. The first at South Natomas Community Center, 2921 Truxel Road; the second at Sam and Bonnie Pannell Community Center, 2450 Meadowview Road. Another meeting will be held Monday, Jan. 7, 6–7 p.m., at Oak Park Community Center, 3425 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. For more information or to apply for the Measure U Community Advisory Committee, go to engagesac.org/ measureu.

Vets GUITAR LESSONS FOR VETERANS HIT A CHORD

Bill McAleavey

JL By Jessica Laskey Giving Back Volunteer Proﬁle

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

IES JAN n 19

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

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

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

Practice in Patience

Peter Hoey

LOCAL BREWER OPENS DREAM PROJECT ON GRAND SCALE

s both a prolific professional brewer and a “serious backyard BBQer,” Peter Hoey loves to play with unique and exotic ingredients, but his favorite ingredient is time. Whether smoking a brisket for a day or barreling a mixedfermentation sour beer for an entire year, Hoey makes patience an essential part of his process. “It’s an ingredient that I think a lot of chefs and brewers take for granted, but it’s always intrigued me,” says Hoey. “All my endeavors are things that take a lot of time.” The endeavor that took Hoey the longest time has finally come to fruition. After 20 years in the craft beer business as a brewer, business owner and industry consultant, Hoey, along with partner Rob Archie of Pangaea

DB By Daniel Barnes Meet Your Neighbor

IES JAN n 19

Bier Café, has opened the ambitious Urban Roots Brewery & Smokehouse in the old Brownie’s building on the corner of 14th and V streets. Located in a 15,600-square-foot facility, with a 15-barrel production brewery, 300-seat restaurant, large outdoor patio, and ample space for barrels and oak foeders, Urban Roots is a dream project made real on a grand scale. “Rob and I joke that we are picking all our favorite things from all over the world and putting them all into one place,” says Hoey. “That’s not too far off from the truth.” Beloved elements from his beerrelated travels with Archie have made their way into the Urban Roots concept: the homey comfort of English pubs, old-world charm of French and Belgian farmhouses, and laid-back vibe of

West Coast craft breweries. Hoey loves German beer gardens, so he insisted that the plans for Urban Roots include a large outdoor drinking space, complete with traditional chestnut trees. Both Hoey and Archie have kids, so a discreetly out-of-the-way children’s play area was also included. “We’re trying to set it up in a way where we can have a little something for everybody,” says Hoey. There are few people as synonymous with California craft beer as Hoey, yet he comes from a wine background, with family roots in Healdsburg and oenophile parents. “A lot of our vacations as kids were going winetasting with the family, and my brother and I were just tagging along,” says Hoey. “I was already coming up in that culture, and I started cooking a lot.”

Hoey’s budding culinary interests evolved into a fascination with homebrewing, and the wunderkind produced his first batch of beer at the age of 17. He got hired as an assistant brewer at Sacramento Brewing Company in 1998, and he worked there while taking classes with the American Brewers Guild. After completing his education, Hoey found work at Sierra Nevada in Chico, where he absorbed the legendary craft brewery’s obsession with quality control. He spent two years at Sierra Nevada, then became brewmaster at Bison Brewing in Berkeley before moving back to Sacramento Brewing. After Sacramento Brewing ceased operations in 2009, Hoey made his first attempt to launch his own brewery with Odanata Beer Co. “Instead of building a

Now open Saturdays 9 am – 1 pm brewery, we tried to operate a contract model, where we rented space in other breweries to produce our beer,” he says. “While it doesn’t require as much startup capital, it’s a much harder story to tell customers.” When Odanata closed due to cash-flow issues, Hoey freelanced as a brewery consultant, helping to launch Sutter Buttes Brewing and Ruhstaller, before accepting a position as regional sales director with Brewers Supply Group. Archie first broached the idea of partnering with his friend and travel partner Hoey on a project back in 2010, and they talked about launching a nanobrewery in the space where Pangaea’s bottle shop sits. Plans were put on hold when Hoey took the job at BSG, but Archie refused to consider working with anyone else. “I feel like we complement each other because Peter makes beer and I’m essentially a fan and a purveyor of beer,” says Archie. “We’re able to share the passion

together, so that made it very easy for us to know that we want to go in as partners.” Seven years after getting hired at BSG, Hoey was ready to go all-in on his and Archie’s dream project, and it wasn’t long before their real estate broker found the vacant property on V Street. “It’s kind of an odd building because it’s not on a nightlife strip, but it’s also not in a remote warehouse district,” says Hoey. Urban Roots is the last step in a decades-long process that began in Hoey’s kitchen, the perfect ending for a man who describes himself as a “process-oriented” brewer. “I’m constantly tweaking and striving for improvement,” he says. “Paying attention to the very small things is what makes the difference between good beer and great beer.” Daniel Barnes can be reached at danielebarnes@hotmail.com. n

Long Live LOFINGS

ICONIC MIDTOWN LIGHTING STORE IS HERE TO STAY

Roy Loﬁng

PA By Peter Anderson Meet Your Neighbor

IES JAN n 19

n this age of Home Depot and other impersonal big-box behemoths, it is refreshing—one might even say illuminating—that there are still small business venues that offer one-onone customer service, nearly 60 years’ worth of expertise, and a family-owned enterprise that enhances both customer needs and community profile. Lofings Lighting has been a J Street fixture since 1961. Its owner Roy Lofing is one of those tough, crusty, salt-of-theearth Sacramentans you might run into at a Rotary Club meeting—if Lofing had time for such endeavors. “We hit the ground running 57 years ago, and it’s been a non-stop marathon from the start,” he says. “To survive, to handle the competition, needs constant vigilance. It’s been hectic and invigorating, and the fact that we’ve kept it in the immediate family all these years fills me with pride.” Lofing, his three siblings and their parents came to Sacramento from Colorado in 1924 when Roy was 2 years old. Five more siblings were born after the family’s arrival. Lofing spent two years at Stanford Junior High, then transferred to McClatchy High School. A McClatchy shop teacher became Lofing’s mentor, recognizing his agility working with metal, wood, electrical and photographic materials. One of his proudest moments was winning a medal at the California State Fair in 1939 for crafting a metal desk he still displays at home. He graduated from McClatchy in 1940, with ceremonies at Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. The young student never forgot something his shop teacher said to him: “Roy, my boy, only fools comment on unfinished work.” The aphorism stayed with Lofing his entire life, and he attributes his perfectionism as a craftsman to the quote. To help his parents feed their large family, Lofing got his first job working for 35 cents an hour at a Downtown store specializing in lighting fixtures. There he gained an appreciation for mixing electrical knowledge with stylish lamp furnishings and home decor. In 1942, Roy married his sweetheart Barbara and they were soon dispatched to Mare Island Naval Base in Vallejo for military duty. Lofing worked in the sheet metal shop on the island and, as a side job, repaired TVs and radios. After returning to Sacramento and raising two children, the couple opened Lofings Lighting in 1961 at 2121 J St. where the store still thrives today. Lighting styles and designs have evolved tremendously and frantically since 1961, and Lofings has done its best

to keep up with the changes. But the store also has reverence for the past. Lofings has been called on to service lighting needs at the State Capitol, Hearst Castle, Winchester Mystery House, Memorial Auditorium and Governor’s Mansion when the Reagans lived in the Fab 40s. Restoration work at the State Capitol is painstaking—each lampshade, chandelier and wall fixture is marked with a specific number and code that demand exact replacements. And it’s not just the ever-evolving light fixtures displayed on the sprawling floor of the store. Lofing says his best retail memories have to do with requests for customized work. He laughs heartily when he describes how a woman brought a naked female mannequin into the store and asked him to convert it into a floor lamp. “She was a jewelry nut, and wanted something well lit to display all her accessories to make her fashion choices for the day much easier. I have also crafted countless abalone shell lamps for Sacramentans returning from the coast. Nowadays, abalones themselves cost more than the lighting apparatus! “I lost count of how many table lamps I have designed with sheepskin shades, as well as coffee grinders turned into antique lamps. One time, a hunter dragged in a Gunny sack filled with deer horns, and asked me to connect the antlers with various forms of creative lighting.” Shortly after opening in 1961, the business became almost immediately a 24/7 venture for the couple. “Without Barbara’s partnership and nonstop dedication, it would’ve been impossible,” he says of his late wife who passed in 2003 after 61 years of marriage. “So, right at the outset, we brought in son Don who still runs the business today, along with his children Max Lofing and Wendy Lofing-Rossotti, my grandkids. I could not be more proud, as all three are consummate professionals with growing reputations for dependability and what a monster store like Amazon might call ‘customer fulfillment.’ “See, the thing that’s so important about small businesses remaining as the mainstay of community commerce is that one-on-one customer service is a lost art, which is a shame because it has always ranked as the highest priority in business.” So, then, you are not afraid of a big box like Home Depot running you out of town? Without hesitation, Lofing replies with grim determination, sounding every bit like a stolid Sacramentan: “Not gonna happen.” n

HOW SAC STATE CASHES IN ON SPORTS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE ORIGINAL COLONY IS DOWN TO SEVEN CATS NOW.

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

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

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

or people interested in building barrooms, restaurants, bowling alleys, fraternity houses, hotels, motels, auto dealerships, poolhalls, retail shops, hospitals, nursing homes, batting cages, dog kennels, yoga studios, brewpubs, churches, theaters and cardrooms, Sacramento civic authorities publish a chart about bicycles. The chart proves how serious Sacramento is about bikes. It leaves nothing to chance. It explains exactly

RG By R.E. Graswich City Beat

IES JAN n 19

how much bike parking is required for each type of building and business. Bike spaces are broken into categories: long term for employees, short term for guests and customers. The requirements vary by neighborhood. Downtown demands more bike slots than suburban locations. A bowling alley Downtown needs one bike space for every two bowling lanes. In the suburbs, they can get away with one space for every four lanes. Assembly halls—defined as social and cultural gathering spots—must provide bike parking for 5 percent of their audience. At Golden 1 Center, which seats 17,608, the formula works out to 880 required bike spots. Yet the arena has posts for just 12 bikes at Fifth and L streets. How could this happen in a city serious about getting people to ride bicycles? Here’s how: The city doesn’t consider Golden 1 Center an assembly hall. It puts the arena in a category called

“Other.” Under city code, “Other” gets to work out private deals with City Hall. Regular rules don’t apply to “Other.” Special allowances for Golden 1 Center reveal a contradiction for a city that is justifiably proud of its efforts to promote cycling, walking and public transportation. For reasons both political and geographic, support for bikes evaporates at Downtown Commons. Sadly, it’s nothing new. For more than 60 years, the worship of cars brought destruction to lower K Street. Interstate 5 was installed along Third Street as an expressway for suburban traffic. It separated the city from the West End—the city’s original retail hub. Two generations of shopping centers were built on lower K Street to compete with suburban malls and their vast, free parking. Both were bulldozed. The city is on its third K Street mall iteration, this one branded DoCo. Bike access at DoCo is treacherous and nearly impossible.

Having suffered from the mistake of trying duplicate suburban experiences Downtown, Sacramento tried to make good with Golden 1 Center. No new garages were built for the arena. Instead, the city inventoried existing parking—streets and lots. The public was assured there were plenty of spaces for cars. Cyclists were left out in the cold. The city didn’t want to discuss bike parking at the arena, and referred me to the Kings. The Kings pointed me to their 12 bike stalls at Fifth and L. “The city realizes it has a problem,” says Jim Brown, executive director of Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates. “The goal is more and more people in the grid, so something has to be done to accommodate them without relying on cars.” While the city contemplates anti-auto accommodations Downtown, bikes ride alone.

Conventional Thinking CITY PLUNGES INTO EXPANSION FOR GUESTS, ARTS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The company’s farmerfocused mission made it a perfect fit for natural food stores and grocery cooperatives, so a robust wholesale operation was built. Those subscription and wholesale operations are still thriving (you can even buy Pachamama beans on Amazon), but the farmers that make up the Pachamama Board of Directors have recently focused on expanding the brick-and-mortar side of the business. “They wanted to be able to have control through every step of the process, and there was also the idea that a latte is the most value-added that you can put on coffee,” Taber says. “It was a way for them to capture even more of the retail value of the coffee that they’re growing, to sell it in a café setting.”

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

Resolved

To Move MOBILITY IS THE PERFECT NEW YEAR’S GOAL

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

S W By Walt SeLfert Getting There

IES JAN n 19

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

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

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

After the initial 5 year period, the APR can change once based on the value of an Index and Margin. The Index is the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of 10 years and the margin is 3.50%. The current APR for the repayment period is 6.50%. The maximum APR that can apply any time during your HELOC is 10%. A qualifying transaction consists of the following conditions: (1) the initial APR assumes a maximum HELOC of $150,000, and a total maximum Loan-to-Value (LTV) of 70% including the new HELOC and any existing 1st Deed of Trust loan on your residence; (2) your residence securing the HELOC must be a single-family home that you occupy as your primary residence; (3) if the 1st Deed of Trust loan is with a lender other than El Dorado Savings Bank, that loan may not exceed $200,000 and may not be a revolving line of credit.

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

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

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

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

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

Winter Workout

GARDENING NOW WILL LAY FOUNDATION FOR MONTHS AHEAD

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

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

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

plant something new. Don’t forget that bulbs and some perennials disappear altogether after they bloom or during the winter. Refer to photographs or garden maps to refresh your memory of what is planted where. Shaping up your garden now also shapes you up from the exercise, fresh air and much-needed natural light. It’s good for your soul too. Hummingbirds zip by, gathering bits of fluff to make their nests. Other birds feed on seeds and insects. You may even spot a rainbow. Much better than cocooning! Anita Clevenger is a Lifetime Sacramento County Master Gardener. For answers to gardening questions, contact the UC Master Gardeners at (916) 876-5338 or mgsacramento@ ucanr.edu, or visit sacmg.ucanr.edu.

Those Who Can, Teach ARTIST MARIA WINKLER DEDICATES HER LIFE TO LOVE OF ART

Maria Winkler

JL By Jessica Laskey Artist Spotlight

IES JAN n 19

aria Winkler is, as she puts it, “a maker of things.” The artist is well known for her paintings of landscapes and waterscapes, as well as her more whimsical—yet no less technically stunning—portraits of vintage toys. “I get bored,” admits Winkler, who retired from a 40-year teaching career in 2010. “I’ll do watercolor for 10 years, pen and ink for another 10 years, acrylic for the next 10 years, then I’ll dabble in sculpture and art books. I try to be as versatile as I can. I’m never satisfied with just one thing. I like to push the boundaries and keep myself interested.” Winkler is most certainly versatile, if her proficiency in a multitude of media is any indication. She credits this ability to her “very traditional” art education as a young person— something she holds very near and dear to this day. “I started drawing when I was 3 and, even though we were very poor, my parents arranged for private oil painting lessons when I was 9,” Winkler says. “I was interested in other artistic disciplines, but I really excelled at visual art, so I focused on that for the rest of my life.” Winkler’s youth is remarkable not just for her talent and dedication to art, but for the events that preceded it. Her father is a famed Polish scientist and Holocaust survivor who helped rebuild the petroleum industry in Poland in the early 1940s before becoming a commercial attaché to the Polish embassy in Washington, D.C., in 1947. It wasn’t long after he brought Maria and her mother over that the entire family applied for political asylum to remain in the U.S. Because her father needed to find work, the Winklers moved around a lot, which is why the artist and longtime Arden resident doesn’t consider herself “from anywhere in particular” (though she’s now spent more years in California than anywhere else). You might expect this fraught upbringing to have a negative impact on such a young artist, but it’s in fact had the opposite effect. “I could dwell on it and be bitter or provide harmony for other people,” says Winkler, whose work graces

hospital waiting rooms all over California. “My peaceful, reflective, meditative art comes from a desire to bring peace to the world—perhaps as a reconciliation with my history.” Winkler’s family background not only gave her an appreciation for peace but also a penchant for experimentation (“my father’s scientific part of me,” she says). Winkler was one of the first people to offer a computer graphics course at Sacramento State in 1981. Fascinated by the artistic possibilities of the new medium, Winkler asked one of the engineering professors to teach her the basics, and then designed classes based around her newfound skills. “I’m a big believer in demonstration—you can’t teach it unless you can do it,” says Winkler, who holds a Ph.D. in curriculum development from Pennsylvania State University. “I taught all kinds of students—ones who’d never had an art class before, as well as art majors—so I had to be able to communicate what I was teaching so everyone could comprehend. It was the greatest fun.” Winkler’s love of new media continues to grow. She’s a huge proponent of computer sketching, which enables her to compose and rescale her work on a computer before committing it to canvas. One of her most recent projects is a public commission to resurface the utility boxes at the corners of Franklin Boulevard and Mack Road and 10th and G streets with huge images Winkler designed on the computer, then printed on vinyl and affixed to the boxes. “I love public commissions because they allow people to see my work for an extended period of time,” Winkler says. “I still get fan mail from pieces that have been hanging in the hospital for 20 years.” But far be it from Winkler to rest on those laurels. “I’m doing more art now than ever,” she says. “I’m a nervous, Type-A personality, so I’m always making things—jewelry, stitchwear, art books, new paintings. I’ve waited my whole life to devote myself entirely to art.”

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

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

GS By Greg Sabin Restaurant Insider

IES JAN n 19

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

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

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

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

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

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

This leafy green-, purple or white-colored plant is low in calories and can be pickled, fermented, steamed, stewed, braised or eaten raw. To eat: For a fresh slaw, slice thinly and toss with poppy seed dressing.

BROCCOLI MEYER LEMON

This healthful cruciferous vegetable is available much of the year, from September through June. It’s a member of the cabbage family. To eat: Steam or roast at high heat in the oven with olive oil and salt.

This citrus fruit is yellower and rounder than a regular lemon, and its flavor is much sweeter. To eat: Use the juice to make a sweet curd or a nicely flavored vinaigrette.
