Editor’s Note: This is the second article in a two-part series about current and past ice cream parlors in the Sacramento area. Stopping by an ice cream parlor for scoops of ice cream during the hottest months of the year is a tradition long enjoyed by residents of the Sacramento area. In the first article of this series, readers were presented with details about the current, local ice cream parlors, Vic’s Ice Cream, in Land Park; Gunther’s Quality Ice Cream, just west of Oak Park; and Leatherby’s Family Creamery, in the Arden area, Elk Grove and Citrus Heights. But long before the establishment of those local institutions, people were drawn to other Sacramento area ice cream parlors, which are no longer in operation. The following are summaries of some of those parlors of days gone by:

Hagelstein’s ice cream and candy factory Hagelstein’s ice cream and candy factory is an example of an early ice cream parlor in Sacramento. This 19th century business was established at 830 K St. by Gustave “Gus” Hagelstein, who began working as a candy maker for Henry Fisher’s candy factory and restaurant at 508-510 J Street in about 1883. He was operating his own business by December 1886.

breakfast, lunch and dinner at all three of those locations. With the elimination of its Alhambra Boulevard and L Street stores in about late 1942, the company became a single site operation. That location – 2814 Broadway – was replaced by a store at 2794 21st St., at 3rd Ave., in about 1950. Irwin, who was a native of Ohio, continued the operation of Shasta Ice Cream until about 1977, and died at the age of 97 on May 29, 1986. Among the employees who worked for Irwin at the 21st Street parlor was Rick Klopp, Shasta Ice Cream a 1965 C.K. McClatchy High The Shasta Ice Cream Co.

An advertisement for Hagelstein’s parlor appeared in the July 7, 1887 edition of The Sacramento Bee. A portion of that advertisement reads: “Ice cream! From pure cream; the best in the city. Nothing is more refreshing these hot days than a plate of Hagelstein’s pure ice cream.” The advertisement also refers to Hagelstein as a “manufacturer of homemade and French candies.” Hagelstein remained in business until at least August 1888.

May 5, 1937. He died from uremia – a condition involving a high level of waste products in the blood. Dorothy last worked at the Country Maid in August 1937, and later became a teacher at several Sacramento schools, including California Junior High School – now California Middle School. She died at the age of 93 in 2006. Later Country Maid proprietors, Bob and Ed Williams, operated this parlor for more than three decades. In 1946, Country Maid added an adjacent store building to house its fountain lunch and candy business operations. Country Maid’s many awards for its ice cream included a gold medal for its vanilla ice cream at the 1955 State Fair. A 1957 telephone book listing for the Country Maid mentions that is was then “open daily & Suns. from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m.” The business moved its ice cream manufacturing

plant to West Sacramento in 1958, and Country Maid’s J Street location remained in operation under its last owner, Juanita Sowards, until her death in 1981.

Duane’s Ice Cream East Sacramento became home to Duane’s Ice Cream at 5112 Folsom Blvd. in 1948. The business was established by Iowa native Duane C. Cady, who served as a second lieutenant in the Air Force during World War I. A 1954 advertisement for the business notes that the parlor offered hand-packed ice cream for take-out. A two-alarm fire threatened Duane’s Ice Cream during the early morning of Aug. 16, 1954. Robert “Doc” Campbell, owner of the nearby Doc’s Place root beer stand, alerted the fire department about the fire in the 5100 block of Folsom Boulevard. The fire, which was caused by an overheated refrigerator motor in a neighboring business space, caused only smoke and water damage to Duane’s Ice Cream. About two weeks after the fire, Duane’s won bronze medals for its strawberry and

vanilla ice creams at the California State Fair. Cady, who was also a member of a local Masonic lodge and the Unitarian Society of Sacramento, resided at 1529 41st St. in East Sacramento. He retired from operating his ice cream parlor in 1957, and died at the age of 77 less than three years later.

Cooking with Carson: Budding chefs learn the craft from River Park neighbors

By Monica Stark

The three working days leading up to Independence Day, East Sacramento children descended on the homestead, namely the kitchen, of River Park baker Melinda and chef Doug Carson for an intensive hands-on cooking class coupled with arts and crafts led by daughter-in-law Beth Dittman, a math teacher on summer break from Bella Vista High School.

Call Melissa at (916) 429-9901 www.valcomnews.com

From making pasta and pizza dough from scratch and learning how to prepare Doug’s secret pasta sauce to making turkey meatballs, a cake and barbecued fruit skewers, 10 budding chefs pleased their parents each day with some sort of take-home treat, as well as decorated aprons and handwritten recipes. Carson, proud of his Italian heritage, has cooked dinners for large crowds at Italian Importing when it was still open and has cooked large meals at this home. Having been an amateur chef for sometime, the cooking class came about because the Carsons cook with their grandchildren. “Every time they come over, I bake with them and he cooks with them,” Melinda said. “So we’ve gotten our own reputation in our family that that’s what we do.”

Arden-Carmichael News • July 26, 2019 • www.valcomnews.com

One thing led to another and soon their daughter-inlaw Christine Dugger suggested they come together and offer a class to their neighbors as something to do. “She talked us into it, and it has been a blast,” Doug said. Melinda, a past school teacher and former chief executive officer of the Make A Wish Foundation, brought organization skills to the table. Professionally, Doug works in promotional products and gives out cans of his pasta sauce and homemade vinegar to clients for Christmas. “ They get bent out of shape at Christmas if they don’t get their fair share,” Melinda joked. “When he makes it, he makes gallons of it.” Truly a family affair, between the Carsons, their daughters-in-law, and also their 13-year-old grandson Brady and his best friend,

Cooking with Carson became a team of six making this three-day camp run so smoothly. “We couldn’t have done it without everybody,” Melinda said. The varied skill levels and experience among the young chefs delighted Melinda. “It’s fun because some of them have cooked a lot with their parents. Some of them will say, ‘I know how to do that.’ To most of them though, it’s brand new.” For the pasta dough, the Carsons have a pasta maker attached to the KitchenAid and some of the children watched in awe as the dough came through the machine, producing long strands of spaghetti. “ Their only assumption of spaghetti is the hard stuff that’s in the box and it definitely wasn’t that. It’s fun for them to discover what they can do,” Melinda said. “One day, they made a pasta salad. Part of it they

didn’t eat but they loved the way it looked and they liked making it. But when it came to eating edamame, some of them were going, you know, ‘I don’t think so.’ It’s fun for them to discover things.” Thrilled their daughter Greta,7, has had the opportunity to learn from passionate cooks who reside in their neighborhood, Artemio Armenta and his wife Melissa Scolari-Armenta looked forward to pickup time to hear about their daughter’s day and enjoy what she had prepared. “It’s really awesome – what (the Carsons are) doing – that they’re passing on their love for cooking,” says Artemio. A memorable experience for all, Melinda said this was a one-time offering and she’s not sure they’ll do it again in the future. But, if they do, they had one excellent first round.

District Attorney to Award Carmichael Parks Foundation $11,000 to Support Youth Programs On October 13, 2016, Cameron Kambiz Razavi pleaded to two county code violations of permitting substandard dwelling units, and permitting junk and rubbish to accumulate at the Twin Gardens Apartments. As part of the plea agreement, Razavi was ordered to pay $15,000 to the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Public Safety & Community Improvement Fund for investment in the community. The District Attorney’s Office announced today that $11,000

of those funds will be distributed to the Carmichael Parks Foundation. The Foundation will use these funds to provide scholarships for children to participate in day camps, sports programs and meals. Razavi was also ordered to do community service, correct all building and code violations, require his management staff to complete Rental Housing Association courses, and correct all of the code violations at his other apartment complex, Belfort Arms Apartments. The progress of the agreement was

to be monitored every 90 days by the Court. DA Anne Marie Schubert states, “This plea agreement is another example of how we are able to work both in the courtroom and in the community to prevent crime, hold offenders accountable and reduce the opportunity gap. I am proud of the work our Community Prosecution Unit is doing to protect quality of life in neighborhoods while creating a positive impact on the community through investments in local nonprofits.”

The case was initially brought to the attention of the District Attorney’s Office by Sacramento County Code Enforcement and other county agencies. When it was discovered that tenants were living in apartments without a permanent heat source, the County relocated the tenants due to the cold weather. A number of additional code violations were found and remained uncorrected for several months. Many children lived in the apartment complex. Sacramento County Code Enforcement and the

Sacramento County Sheriff ’s Problem-Oriented Police (POP) team investigated this case and were instrumental in the successful prosecution. After repeated court appearances where Razavi failed to show proof that he corrected the violations, the Honorable Kevin McCormick ordered him to serve 20 days in jail. Razavi’s case continues to be monitored by the Court to ensure he complies with his conditions of probation. If conditions of probation are not followed, he faces more jail time.

H.A R T. Is Working to Make a Big Difference in our Communities By Jan Dalske

Have you heard about the H.A.R.T. organization? It is a coalition of many local FAITH communities, non-profits, businesses, agencies, and individuals, who are committed to finding solutions to homelessness in our local communities. They are a collaboration between community members, religious organizations, and local non-profits who are all striving to end homelessness. HART has many goals. They work to coordinate a winter shelter program. They work to advance their initiatives regarding advocacy, youth homelessness and affordable housing. They work with transitional housing programs. In Carmichael, they are an Advocate for a Navigator to assist the homeless and can connect the homeless to the resources they need. In suburban communities like Carmichael, resources are largely, if not completely, absent. Carmichael HART is a local response that addresses these realities by developing programs that will help homeless men, women, and children. Their HART is a coValley Community Newspapers, Inc.

alition of faith communities, non-profits, businesses, agencies, as well as many individuals who are all committed to finding solutions to homeless in their community. HART leader, Scott Young, shares: “How do I like to describe Carmichael HART? We’re a diverse group of local people seeking local solutions to a local problem. One of my favorite things about HART is the way it unites communities, by bringing together a diverse group of locals all working together to find solutions to homelessness. Many of our participants are affiliated with a faith community, and because of HART we’ve seen the churches of Carmichael working together in unprecedented ways. A local HART group brings people together…it unites a community”. The HART organization in Citrus Heights has a mission to provide the resources that will enable at risk people who are experiencing homelessness in their area and adjacent areas to become independent, self-sustaining and participating members of the community.

In the City of Folsom the HART group helps those who are experiencing homelessness in their area to move toward self-sufficiency and greater independence. The Elk Grove HART organizations was founded in 2010. Since that time they have worked to provide local services to the growing number of homeless in Elk Grove. Their goal is to assist those who are experiencing homelessness in their area to be self-sufficient and have greater independence. The Sacramento Self-Help Housing group is another nonprofit that is working to help those that without a home. They are dedicated to assisting individuals as well as families that have insufficient resources. Their goal is to help people who are homeless, in crisis, or may have special needs. They want to help them find safe and sustainable affordable housing. Their goal is to eliminate homelessness. They have a “housing first” model which states: “We effectively eliminate homeless with our innovative “housing first” model, whatever financial, social, or medical

problems that someone may have getting them housed first makes dealing with the other issues easier and increases their chances of long-term success”.

To find a local HART group, go to HART Help for the Homeless online. Select the area that you are in and see how they can help you.
