Arden-Carmichael News • September 29, 2017 • www.valcomnews.com

This past summer marked the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love, which drew nearly 100,000 mostly young people to San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district to join in the countercultural, hippie revolution that was rich with music, art, literature, free thinking and experimental drug use. And among the photographers who captured images of this time and place in American history was former Carmichael and Arden area resident Rudy Troya, Jr. Although Rudy died at the age of 62 nearly a decade ago, scenes of this era are alive through his collection of photographic images.

Anne Troya, who married Rudy on June 27, 1981 and remained his partner until his passing 26 years later, shared those photographs with this publication last week.

While observing Rudy’s half-century-old photographs, Anne mentioned that most of those images were taken while he was living in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

“As you can see by (a lot of ) the photos, it was the Haight-Ashbury, Summer of Love timeframe,” she said. “He would go downtown and just take pictures. And he also did Los Angeles.”

Anne commented about several of Rudy’s photographs, which she said have titles and a “storytelling” approach to them.

“The violinist (photograph, titled ‘Fiddling Around,’ was taken) at Golden Gate Park, and if you look closely at it, ‘Melody of Love’ is the song (shown on the sheet music’s cover),” she said. “He’s in a tuxedo and he’s playing her like a violin. “‘Eye of God’ was taken at a concert. There was a priest that stopped by and looked at that artwork.

“The one (titled) ‘Smoke,’ people assumed that of course it was marijuana (smoke in front of the woman), but Rudy said she had some incense that she was holding.” “ Then ‘ Tears of a Generation’ is the young, blonde lady with the tear painted on her cheek.”

Anne said that one photograph that is missing from Rudy’s collection is one he took during the Watts riot in Los Angeles in 1965. It appeared on the front page of an edition of the Los Angeles Times.

Famous people do not appear in most of Rudy’s photographs, with a rare exception being an image of actor Vincent Price, who was best known for his roles in horror films.

In further reminiscing about Rudy, Anne spoke about the earlier years of his life and his road to becoming a photographer.

“He was born in San Francisco and was the middle child (of ) Rudy, (Sr.) and Sophie Troya,” she said. “He was very creative and musically inclined. He was a drummer and he played the accordion.”

Anne noted that her former husband later attended City College of San Francisco, before studying commercial photography at the Academy of Art College (now Academy of Art University) in Los Angeles.

After graduating from photography school, Rudy became a professional in the field of commercial photography, taking family portraits and photographs at weddings.

Anne said that Rudy’s life, beyond his photographs, has a tragic side, since he was born with retinitis pigmentosa. And she described an early sign of that condition. “(Rudy) was in Hawaii one time with his (business) partner doing a wedding and he was in the airport and someone had come off See Summer of Love, page 3 Valley Community Newspapers, Inc.

his field of vision and bumped him,” she said. “His partner said, ‘Didn’t you see that guy?’

And he said, ‘No, I didn’t.’ So, he made an eye appointment and found out at the age of 38 he was going blind.”

It was not until later in Rudy’s life that his photography gained some notoriety.

Upon the encouragement of Anne, Rudy and Anne met with Lial Jones, who was then serving as curator of the Crocker Art Museum.

Anne said that a humorous moment occurred during that meeting.

“We went (to the Crocker) and we put his photos across this table,” she said. “At this

time, (Rudy) was walking into walls, because his vision was really bad. So, ( Jones) kept looking at me and looking at him, and she goes, ‘Who’s the photographer?’ And so, we explained to her about his vision.”

Anne added that Jones eventually referred to Rudy’s photos as “absolutely fabulous.”

Rudy and Anne’s meeting with Jones led to an exhibition of Rudy’s photographs at the Crocker in 2007, shortly before his death.

Anne described the exhibit as a very positive experience for Rudy, who spent the latter part of his life living in Carmichael, the Arden area and Citrus Heights.

“We sat on the couch anonymously and listened to people, and it was interesting because

the younger crowd would go over and (say), ‘Wow, look at this, it’s the 1960s,’” she said.

“And then, of course, you had people that were in their 50s and 60s reminiscing, too. But (Rudy) was able to watch his photos being admired.”

Anne said that five years following Rudy’s death, a notable Bay Area photograph collector observed Rudy’s photos and referred to them as “exceptional,” and commented about Rudy’s longtime reluctance to show his photographic works.

“He said some artists are like that,” she said. “There’s a negative energy that they have around their work while they’re alive, and their posthumous career is not uncommon and they become more not-

ed after they’re gone. I would have preferred for him to have (more notoriety) while he was alive. But I don’t want to not give him an opportunity to be admired or (have) his work shared.”

Anne has since taken opportunities to share Rudy’s work with various professionals in hopes of giving him the recognition that she always believed he deserved. And that mission continues today.

So, what’s your style? An urban loft Downtown where you can walk to the cafes? A home in a good school district with beautiful parks nearby? A lifestyle along the river where you can get out on your bicycle and breeze along the parkway every day? Tell me. Tell me what you want. It’s here.

What you want is here in Sacramento.

Nationally recognized ARC Theatre opens dazzling production of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” Featuring a spectacular live orchestra, stunning costumes and settings, and a thrilling 30-member cast, American River College opens its season with Disney’s magical Beauty and the Beast. The two-act musical comedy by Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, Tim Rice and Linda Woolverton, will open Oct. 6, for a threeweek run (closing Oct. 22).

Coming freshly off multiple national Kennedy Center awards for last year’s production of Cabaret, ARC has pulled out all the stops for this classic Broadway hit.

Award-winning costume designer Gail Russell (of Capitol Stage, B Street Theatre, and more) has provided the perfect combination of whimsy and spectacle to bring Disney’s loveable and enchanting characters to vivid life. From the endearing teapot Mrs. Potts (Michelle Pollack), to the charming candelabra Lumiere (Ethan Mack) and the hilariously arrogant Gaston (Christopher Sharpe), audience members will be thrilled to see their favorite characters on stage.

Directed by Pamela Downs (with orchestra conductor Susan Hamre and choreographers Sam Williams and Sar-

ah Souther-Williams), Beauty and the Beast tells the story of book-loving Belle (Elizabeth Garbe) who encounters a terrible Beast (Branden Price) with a lonely secret. If he can learn to love Belle and can gain her love in return, the curse will end and all the inhabitants in his enchanted castle will be freed to be human again… but time is running out!

Four-star dinner theatre night A special dinner/theatre night is being offered on October 7 in conjunction with the Oak Café, the college’s 4-star restaurant. This student-run, faculty managed restaurant has drawn rave reviews for years, and has garnered its 4-star review honestly. The Beauty and the Beast-themed dinner includes “hot hors d’oeuveres” (Brie and jambon in pate feuillete), “grey stuff ” (wild mushroom soup, fromage blanc toasts), “beef ragout” (Estoufade de Boeuf, Cabernet braised boneless short ribs, or two other optional entrees, including a vegetarian entree), and “pie and pudding en flambe” (crème puffs, red rose scented Bavarian cream, dark chocolate and red rose crystals)…. All “prepared and served with flair!”

Close relative of Howard Asher is featured orchestra player One of the orchestra musicians is closely related to Howard Asher, the gifted lyricist who collaborated with Alan Menken on Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Little Shop of Horrors and more before his untimely death of AIDS at age 40.ARC’s 19-piece orchestra features Maury Macht, violin/ flute, who grew up with Asher as a close cousin in Baltimore, Maryland. Macht has chosen to miss his 50th high school reunion (as well as a few other momentous occasions) to honor Ashman by participating in the Beauty and the Beast pit orchestra.

Special weekday matinee (Oct. 18, 12:30) for seniors, homeschoolers, etc.

For the first time in years, ARC is offering a mid-weekday matinee (Wednesday, October 18, 12:30pm) for seniors, homeschoolers, school groups and others who would like to be home early in the day after the show. This performance will be followed by another unique opportunity… the chance to meet costumed characters after the show!!

ARC Theatre Arts, a nationally recognized program Every year the American River College Theatre Arts Department participates in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. Each year, students garner respect and awards… but last year was especially significant.

There, several of our actors and the production as a whole were honored with National Awards by the Kennedy Center, including Best Actress in a Musical, Best Actor in a Musical, and the Citizen Artist Award.

Award-winning production team Literally every member of the Beauty and the Beast design team, and most of the production team, are awardwinning artists, and many work professionally in the field.

Costume Designer Gail Russell designs both on the east coast and at Capitol Stage and B Street Theatre; Set/Light designer Kathy Burleson has won several Elly’s and has designed for STC; Sound Designer Kirt Shearer has won multiple Elly’s for both community and academic work; Choreographer Sam Williams is also an Elly winner, and directs/cho-

Even if there’s a late heat wave, the stress on new plants is greatly reduced because days are shorter.

When spring rolls around, fall plantings will have established root systems, be ready to start their growth spurt and be better prepared for the heat of summer.

The Regional Water Authority has launched “Get Growing This Fall”, an educational campaign in partnership with a dozen local nurseries to make people aware that fall is the perfect time of year to create their low-water landscape.

From the end of September to October 20, local nurseries will be reaching out to customers about the benefits of fall planting, as well as beautiful, low-water use plants and efficient irrigation equipment available at their locations.

Several nurseries will be hosting fall planting events, and others will be handing out tip sheets about planting, water-wise irrigation and rebates available from local water providers.

Interfaith Forum on Climate Change to spotlight science and spirituality

By Laura I. Winn

Examining climate change through the lens of spiritual and moral perspectives is the focus of the Interfaith Forum on Climate Change on Sunday, Oct. 8 at Unitarian Universalist Society of Sacramento in Arden-Arcade (2425 Sierra Blvd). From 1 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., local Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and Unitarian Universalist leaders will take questions and discuss climate change as it’s reflected through current events and through the teachings of their faiths.

“What we are doing to our Earth, to the poorest people on the planet and to future generations is the greatest moral issue of our time,” stated Christine Bailey, a retired environmental scientist and Unitarian Universalist member who is one of the organizers of the event through the group Unitarian Universalist Interfaith Earth Justice.

Unitarian Universalist Interfaith Earth Justice was founded about six months ago to address climate change and host informational seminars like the upcoming forum. Although this specific group is new, the idea of a faith-based climate change forum is not. Three years ago Bailey organized a similar forum in Rancho Cordova with Buddhists, Lutherans, United Methodists, Mor-

mons, Presbyterians, Reform Jews and Baha’is.

While that forum was well attended and the response was overwhelmingly positive (aside from a single fundamentalist Christian protester who made some noise outside), Bailey said she feels that with the results of the presidential election and the threat of the United States pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement, people will be even more responsive this time. “I think people are now much, much more worried and engaged with climate change than they were three years ago. The predictions of climate change scientists are starting to come true: stronger and wetter hurricanes, floods, wildfires, heat waves, bad air quality and more frequent droughts.”

The October forum will address these natural disasters using both scientific evidence and spiritual guidance. One topic of discussion will be how climate change hurts people of color and low-income people the hardest. On the scientific side, Bailey pointed to research from the World Bank that states a “a warming world will send an additional 100 million people into extreme poverty by 2020” of which nearly 50 percent will be in India. On the spiritual side, Bailey quoted Bible verse Philippians 2:4, “Each of you

should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.”

That idea, or more broadly the Golden Rule of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you, is an altruistic maxim shared by all of the faiths represented at the forum.

Speakers will include Betsy Reifsnider of St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Theo Goodwin and JoAnn Solov of Congregation B’Nai Israel, Dr. Reem Al Olaby and Dr. Anne Kjemtrup of SALAM Center, Rev. Lucy Bunch, Unitarian Universalist Society of Sacramento and Susan Orr, the President of Sacramento Dharma Center and Facilitator of Sacramento Climate Sangha. Rev. Ruth IvoryMoore who is the DC-based Program Director for Energy and Environment for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, will provide an introduction and Bishop Jon Fish, the President of Interfaith Council of Greater Sacramento, will moderate.

Encouraging the community to attend and engage on climate change, Bailey summarized, “There is so much political division in our country. Perhaps when we are in our churches we can put our politics aside for a while and listen to one another better.”
