Dorothy Houpt officially “got her ticket to heaven” as she would say, on January 25, 2019. She passed peacefully while resting ( after being on Hospice care) at her daughter Gayle’s home in Napa. She had boundless love in her small frame, and shared it generously.

Born in Denver, Colorado on October 17, 1923, followed by a move to Reno, Nevada in 1926.

She was in the marching band and choir in her high school years. On June 15, 1946, she married Jack Houpt. In 1953, she and Jack, and son Jerry and daughter Gayle moved to country property in Carmichael,, where their children were raised. Dorothy was a cub scout den mother, helped with P.T.A., and assisted with Sunday school classes at the Presbyterian church.

In 1996, she and Jack celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, which was celebrated with a huge gathering of family and friends at the home of their son Jerry in Carmichael. Dor-

othy was widowed Oct. 1, 1997.

Dorothy was particularly proud of her huge zinnia garden, and sold zinnias in front of her home for over ten years, displaying them in a large garden cart, built and decorated by son Jerry. The proceeds from her flower sales were all donated to local charities.

Dorothy worked 40 years in Carmichael as a dental assistant/bookeeper for Thomas Adamson D.D.S, and loved every minute of it.

In 2015, at the age of 91, she moved to Napa with daughter Gayle and son-in-law Ed Nagel. She considered it a paradise living in a wooded mountain setting and being able to watch all the birdlife, squirrels and chipmunks from her corner bedroom windows. Ed built her a large metal bird feeder, and faithfully filled it with birdseed every morning, so she could have a floor show while enjoying her morning coffee. She enjoyed many neighborhood dinners on the mountain, as daughter Gayle loves to cook and entertain.

Dorothy’s goal in life was to be a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She succeeded in all.

She is survived by son, Jerry Houpt of Carmichael, daughter Gayle Nagel in Napa, and four grandchildren - Dan Nagel in Carmichael, Debby Elliott in St. Helena, Ken Houpt in Georgetown, and Christina Vos in Shingle Springs.

There are ten great grandchildren, Kane Elliott, Jake Elliott, K.J. Houpt, Taylor Houpt, Kelleigh Houpt, Paul Vos, Kolya Vos, Analeis Vos,and Christian and Koen Vos. Dorothy also adored her daughter in law Vicky, and her granddaughters husbands, Aaron and Paul. She very proudly often stated how happy she was that all her family are kind and caring people.

Dorothy also leaves a sister, Edith Godfrey in Mount Laurel New Jersey and two wonderful nieces, Barbara Morgan, also in Mount Laurel, and Janet Tranthem, in Mays Landing, New Jersey, and sisterin-law Helen Mendonca and nephew Ron Mendonca in Sacramento.

In addition to family, she leaves many beloved neighbors in Carmichael. Karen Shelton, was like a second daughter to her. Her message to all is this: “Death is not extinguishing the light.

It is only putting out the lamp because dawn has come.”

Rather than a formal service, Dorothy’s wishes are to have a family gathering and celebration of life at a later date.If anyone wishes to make a tax deductible donation, please send memorial gifts to: Collabria Hospice, 414 South Jefferson Street, Napa, CA 94559.

Theater One’s production of Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter to debut in Arden-area church Theater One announces its production of acclaimed playwright Julie Marie Myatt’s intense look at returning home from war, “Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter”. The play runs Fridays through Sundays, March 8 through March 24 (Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Sundays at 2 p.m.) at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Sacramento, 2425 Sierra Blvd. Tickets are available at the door: $15 general admission, $13 for seniors, students, and SARTA members. No reservations are necessary.

“Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter” is a contemporary story of personal trauma, recovery and acceptance.

Upon her return to Southern California from a difficult tour of duty in Iraq, wounded Marine Sergeant Jenny Sutter finds herself in Slab City, sometimes known as, “ The Last Free Place on Earth.” The eccentric inhabitants of the community attempt to reach her so that she can return to her previous life. An edgy and poignant drama, “Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter” brings moving insight to the universally human themes of loss and healing, particularly as they relate to our veterans.

Theater One’s production is directed by Lisa Erwin and Assistant Director Michael Erwin. The lead is played by local musician Sené Goss, who was recently featured on ABC10. The talented cast includes several actors familiar to local community theater audiences: Shane Burrows, Stephen Watson, Ken Watkins, and Voress Franklin.

“Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter” has made an impres-

sion on audiences and critics across the country. The play premiered at the Tonywinning Oregon Shakespeare Festival in February 2008 to glowing reviews.

The San Francisco Chronicle noted, “( Jenny Sutter) is a powerful drama... with graceful sensitivity.”

The premiere was shortly followed by a production at the renowned Kennedy Center Theater in Washington D.C.

City’s rock music history finds a home in Sac State library

By Dixie Reid

Editor’s Note: This article was originally printed by the marketing department at Sac State.

The Ed Sullivan Show, broadcast in grainy blackand-white, was must-see TV for American families in the 1960s. Millions tuned in when Sullivan introduced U.S. audiences to the Beatles in February 1964.

But it was the Rolling Stones’ appearance eight months later that put Sacramento in the national spotlight.

Mick Jagger, then 21 years old, and his bandmates rocked their new single, Time is On My Side, to a studio audience of screaming teenagers be-

fore the host came out to say goodbye.

“I want to wish all of you fellows a big success tomorrow night in Sacramento, California,” Sullivan said.

Suddenly, Sacramento had cachet as a rock ‘n’ roll town, and the whole country knew it.

The Stones flew cross-country to play Sacramento’s Memorial Auditorium, then the largest venue in town, on Monday, Oct. 26.

“There was a poster from the Stones’ show, and if I had a real one, it’d be worth $6,000 or $8,000,” says Dennis Newhall, the accidental curator and chronicler of Sacramento’s rock ‘n’ roll and rock music history.“I

didn’t have one, so I had a friend find all the same fonts and photo, and rebuild it.”

Newhall ’73 (Theatre Arts) recently donated to his alma mater nearly 4,000 items – hundreds of authentic (and at least one fake) concert posters, handbills, T-shirts, a necktie, K-ZAP Radio logo wear, photographs, concert tickets, and even an Oasis Ballroom cocktail table – from his nowclosed Sacramento Rock & Radio Museum.

This poster announced a concert by Jimi Hendrix at Sac State in 1968. Cost? $2.75 advance, $3 at the door.

The University’s newly acquired Sacramento Rock & Radio Collection lives in the Gerth Special Collections & University Archives, where it’s available for study and research.

The collection will continue to grow with contributions from new generations of Sacramento music fans.

“This is not an art collection,” Newhall says. “This is a story about the venues, the poster artists, the pioneering radio stations that brought rock ‘n’ roll and rock to Sacramento, and the rock bands that played here.”

Sac State will celebrate the gift with an exhibition and reception, complete with a cake

resembling a vinyl record, 4-5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 13, in Special Collections & University Archives (on the south side of University Library.) The event is free and open to the public.

In addition to Newhall, Sacramento artist Jim Ford is expected to attend. Over a span of 14 months in the late 1960s, he created iconic psychedelic posters for some of the biggest bands ever to play Sacramento, including the Jimi Hendrix Experience at then-Sacramento State College, and the only time Cream and the Grateful Dead shared a bill, playing Memorial Auditorium. see Music page 5

Music:

continued from page 4

“There is no other collection like this on the planet, not even in Cleveland (home of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame),” says James Fox, head of Special Collections & University Archives. “We now have a pretty comprehensive collection of rock ‘n’ roll posters for our city from the 1960s to the present.

It’s a unique body of material, and it’s a fabulous moment for the University.”

Newhall’s interest in collecting music posters began in 1991, when he worked as a sound engineer and voice talent for the commercial recording studio Nakamoto Productions.

Owner Ray Nakamoto had moved the business from Rancho Cordova to 907 20th St., in midtown Sacramento. Coincidentally, the building once housed the popular music club Crabshaw Corner and, later, another called Oasis Ballroom.

Inspired by the building’s legacy, Nakamoto asked Newhall to track down concert posters from the two clubs, to use as wall décor.

Newhall, a rock ‘n’ roll fan since childhood and former employee of K-ZAP Radio, knew that local artist Roger Shepherd had created most of the posters. Newhall made a call, and Shepherd sent over a stack of posters.

Piece by piece, Newhall would build a gallery of color-

Valley Community Newspapers, Inc.

ful and historic Sacramentoarea music posters. The Sacramento Rock & Radio Museum inside Nakamoto’s shop was a popular stop on Sacramento’s Second Saturday Art Walk, in part because it was adjacent to the trendy 20th Street Art Gallery. Newhall’s friend, Jeff Hughson, an original K-ZAP deejay, helped to care for the museum in its first five years.

“We were getting 300 people through every hour a few nights during the summer,” Newhall says. “The mission from the beginning was not for it to be just old posters, but new artists and new posters, too. And it’s not just a collection of pretty posters. It’s the story of this community.”

Newhall has a story for every poster. For instance, Nirvana once played the Cattle Club (now a barbecue restaurant) south of the Sac State campus. The poster isn’t much to look at, he concedes, “but it’s Nirvana.”

The Red Hot Chili Peppers, a band that sells out stadiums, once performed in a corner of what’s now the Zinfandel Grille on Fair Oaks Boulevard.

Jimi Hendrix played to 3,000 fans at Sac State College’s Men’s Gym, a venue intended for just 1,000.

Over 17 years, Newhall amassed thousands of pieces of Sacramento’s rock ‘n’ roll history, along with items from shows in Davis and Lake Tahoe. A series of circumstances forced him to move the Sacramento

Rock & Radio Museum from Nakamoto’s place to a couple of warehouses and finally to a friend’s garage.

Desperate to find it good home, Newhall did an interview with the neighborhood tabloid Inside Publications.

Amy Kautzman, dean of Sacramento State’s University Library, saw the article and was intrigued.

“Music is meaningful,” she says. “We measure time by music, by the posters we hung over our bed, or what we listened to in cars with our friends.”

Kautzman wanted to acquire the collection for Sacramento State.

“So I get this call,” Newhall says, “and I realized this would be unlike anything I had imagined: a place where everything would stay together forever. The University has the wherewithal for preservation, and there would be endless opportunities for students to find things to add to the collection.”

His initial gift includes approximately 1,000 items. The balance of the collection will come to Sac State over time.

Newhall, now Capital Public Radio’s jazz host and co-founder of the rebooted K-ZAP, at k-zap.org, never intended to become the caretaker of his hometown’s rock music history.

“I had no plans. I just took advantage of situations.”

Dixie Reid is a senior staff writer for the marketing department at Sacramento State.

Arden Residents Can Receive Free Tax Help Through United Way Many Arden households qualify for Cal EITC tax credit but do not apply Arden households are eligible for free help preparing taxes and claiming credits this year, saving an average of $200 in preparer fees and often earning thousands of dollars in credits.

Arden is one of the largest areas in Sacramento County where households qualify for the Cal EITC tax credit but do not apply for it. United Way California Capital Region’s Free Tax Prep program, supported by Citi Community Development, is available at two locations in Arden throughout tax season: Department of Human Assistance on Fulton Avenue and International Rescue Committee. At each location, IRS-certified volunteers will provide free basic tax return preparation with electronic filing and help guests claim the maximum tax credits for which they are eligible. To receive help, households must have earned $60,000 or less in 2018. Services are available in English, Russian, Farsi and Dari. To learn more and make an appointment, visit YourFreeTaxPrep.org.

“This is an important time of year for families in our community. They could be eligible to receive hundreds, even thousands, of dollars in refunds to help them become financially stable,” said Stephanie Bray, president and CEO, United Way California Capital Region. “We encourage every eligible household to find out how much money you are eligible for through the many tax credits available.”

Households that earned $66,000 or less in 2018 are eligible to file their taxes for free online at MyFreeTaxes.org through a partnership with United Ways of California.

The site provides households with free tax help they can trust and guides users through federal and state filing, including tax credits, with software powered

by H&R Block. Users need a valid email address, income forms and Adjusted Gross Income from 2018.

This year, more households are eligible to claim federal and state Earned Income Tax Cred-

its (EITC and Cal EITC), Child Tax Credit, and Credit for the Elderly or the Disabled. Age qualification for Cal EITC has been expanded to include ages 18-24 and working adults ages 65 and up, giving more taxpayers the opportunity to earn up to $6,500 in credits, including those who are self-employed. Many Cal EITC-eligible households are not legally required to file taxes due to very low incomes; however if they do file, they can claim the state and federal credits for which they are eligible. Due to federal law, those who file for EITC, Cal EITC or Child Tax Credit should plan for their refund to be delayed until end of February, no matter who prepares their taxes. For more information about available tax credits, visit YourFreeTaxPrep.org.

Nearly 8,500 households in the Sacramento area took advantage of United Way’s Free Tax Prep services for the 2017 tax year, resulting in more than $10 million in money claimed

through credits and refunds.

With support from Citi Community Development, free tax help was significantly expanded across the region last year in Amador, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo counties, increasing the number of households helped by more than 2,500 and resulting in more than a $3 million increase in refunds for the region compared to last year.

“The Earned Income Tax Credit is a vital tool that provides families with a muchneeded cash infusion, one that can help them pay down debts, cover expenses, and even get on the road to saving and planning for the future, ” said Mary Hogarty, vice president, Citi Community Development. “Through our support for United Way California Capital Region, we aim to expand access to tax credits like the EITC and free tax preparation for eligible people that help enable more working families to build resilient financial futures.”

Other sponsors of United Way’s 2019 Free Tax Prep program include the IRS, the State of California Department of Community Services and Development, and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District.

For nearly 100 years, United Way California Capital Region has brought local people together to make community change happen. Today, the nonprofit is bringing people together across Amador, El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer and Yolo counties for its Square One Project, a 20year promise to significantly increase the number of students in our region who graduate from high school ready for success in college and beyond. United Way believes ending generational poverty starts in school and is working to ensure kids meet important milestones and their families receive support and resources.

with Pat Lynch

A friend, Jo, was walking her small dog, Pika, across the street when a homeless woman, “talking crazy,” saw them coming. Jo picked up Pika, leash and all.

“The woman said she was going to kill us. When she got to me she grabbed my coat and punched me in the back. I tried to get away. I finally broke free and looked at the two drivers stopped at the light. A young gal motioned me to get in her car.

I barely made it. The homeless woman chased me and pounded on the car window. Thank goodness the light turned and we drove off.”

Jo’s story may ratify a bias some have against the homeless.

But mine won’t. I too, stood, one summer afternoon, in a crowd at a traffic light on J. The light changed and I started across.

Someone pulled my arm and yanked me back. I looked up.

Three kids on bikes barreled by exactly where I’d been headed.

I smelled my hero before I saw him. He was maybe fifty, ripe, his soiled clothes baggy. “Oh my God, you saved me,” I said.

“Thank you.”

“Bikes can mow you down,” he said.

I waited till later, when he sat alone on a stoop at Safeway to give him something. I’ve often thought about this guy, so deeply down on his luck, who still found it in him to yank a stranger to safety.

I wish someone had been there to pull in Carl Ulmer, a homeless man found dead outdoors as temperatures dropped to 35 degrees. No warming centers were open because the temperature has to plummet for at least three days in a row to unlock those doors. Who made that rule? My guess in that it was someone sitting in a cozy, climate controlled office.

Analysts and experts think Reaganomics helped cause the homeless crisis we have today. It catered to the haves and the free market furor, didn’t make provisions for those who couldn’t afford to invest. It didn’t maintain a safety net. There ought to be that net, for the good of all of us. Those of us who don’t need help do need to be able to enjoy our Parkway, but we can’t because the homeless dig in there, and the once beautiful spot is befouled with needles, waste, detritus and danger.

Do the homeless like that? I imagine it’s ghastly for them too, especially in the swamp of summer, especially for mothers with kids. They, incidentally, make up an increasingly large proportion of the homeless and will soon constitute their biggest population. These ruptured families live with the alcoholism, drug addiction and mental illness largely masked in our fortunate larger community but endemic and naked in theirs. It’s as if society’s problems are magnified among those least equipped to cope.

Daniel Weinberg from Stanford University has researched the structural causes of homelessness and concludes that “neo-classical fiscal policies” bear a determining part of the blame.

(That would trickle-down Reaganomics pooling in the pockets of the fortunate and staying there). It’s been going on for a long time and has finally hit critical mass. Weinberg identifies the precise structural factors: (1) Rising rent and housing costs; (2) no corresponding rise of government safety-net programs; (3) “pervasiveness of socio-political norms and attitudes that stigmatize the homeless.” A good example of this last factor is Paul Ryan implying that you injure a boy’s soul when you give him a free hot lunch. Ryan is out of office now but his noxious notions endure.

Low paying service jobs were pretty much all that was available to the working poor. Many

worked two jobs to keep up with the rent. But rent went up every year and their pay did not.

The government provided only token, sparse low cost housing, nowhere near enough units for those who needed them.

Rents kept rising. The safety net shrank. Rents rose again, and continued to rise every year.

“Finally we end up in the car,” a woman told me. She didn’t want to give her name. “Me, my husband, our two boys. Then we have to sell the car. Then we live outside. Then he leaves.”

So yes, he’s no role model. But as a community we’re left with a moral problem—homeless families, homeless children. It seems that if we can subsidize the mega-jillionaire NBA with an arena, we ought to be able to do something for the people who sleep on the streets.

Mayor Steinberg has pushed aggressively to build“tiny homes” for people who live outside, but is frustrated by the slow response of other groups and agencies. His powers are limited. Our previous mayor, Kevin Johnson, wanted a“Strong Mayor” initiative, but voters turned him down because many didn’t want to pay for the arena he championed. Now Dan Walters in the Sacramento Bee says our present mayor, strengthened by such an initiative, could plainly use it to combat homelessness.

This makes sense. I didn’t vote for the first initiative, but I’d vote for one now. It would be smart, as well as right, to arm the may-

or with all the tools he needs. He can’t solve the systemic economic misery caused by the trickle down myth, but he should be able to act to save lives, shelter people, restore our public spaces, and affirm decent community values. He should be able to lead the city to a higher state of moral function.

Iconic San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen said, “A city is not gauged by its length and width, but by the broadness of its vision and the height of its dreams.” A broad vision has to be an inclusive one, and for this city that means re-building the long overdue safety net for those who need it.

Recall Jo, who was accosted by the deranged woman. Jo was angry afterward, but not so much at her assailant. She was more angry at a man who sat in a truck at the light, watched, but did nothing. “He could have helped me,” she said. “He was a big guy.” The slight young woman who drove Jo to safety apologized for not jumping from her car to help fight off the attacker, but Jo told her she acted heroically by doing what she did.

We don’t need to be a city full of big guys in trucks who do nothing. We don’t need to sentimentalize the homeless either. We need to educate ourselves about its real causes and cures, assert our common humanity, and support leaders willing to act. That’s how to be a good neighbor.

Curiosity and Discovery Along the River’s Edge, a Guided Walk Mystery and beauty await you. The Friends of the Riverbanks invite you on Saturday, March 9 at 10 a.m. to explore Sutter Landing’s lush riverside woodland with guide, Molly McBride, on a walk designed to lift your spirits. You’ll be in awe of the discoveries and delights that emerge along the way.

Valley Community Newspapers, Inc.

Experience the restorative power and pleasures of nature. This walk includes both contemplative and collaborative activities. Please bring a small cushion or chair, and dress warmly. All ages are welcome.

Meet at the very end of 28th Street, you’ll walk down to the river from there. All ages welcome; please leave dogs at home.

The group had perfect weather for mushroom hunting on Jan. 12, and saw more specimens than ever before. Many thanks to Ryan LaPorte, who spent several hours of his birthday to share his knowledge and passion for fungi. Happy birthday, Ryan.
