Various businesses, nonprofits and employees local to the Arden-Arcade area were recognized by the Greater Arden Chamber of Commerce at the yearly awards ceremony on Friday, Sept. 14 at the Swanston Community Center. This year, the Best of Arden Awards also incorporated the Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Arden Arcade Responsible Merchant Alcohol Awards, a youth led initiative to improve merchant compliance with alcohol sales best practices.

President of the Greater Arden Chamber of Commerce Shaun Dillon said each winner had a compelling reason in their nomination that got them chosen from other nominees by the board, and usually were nominated multiple times. “When we looked at the nominations, we really looked at two major factors: What impact has the business had on the Arden-Arcade community, and how is the business engaged with the community,” Dillon said. As he wrote on social media, “It

was an honor to recognize all of the winners, and I would like to extend my congratulations to each of them again.”

The following are the winners: Best of Arden Winners: Best Business (Large) -Express Employment Professionals Best Business (Medium) --- Benning Design Construction Best Business (Small) -Upen J Patel, DDS Best Business (Independent) --- Austin Schlocker (New York Life) Best Nonprofit (Community) -- Mutual Assistance Network Best Nonprofit (Youth) Sheriff ’s Community Impact Program (SCIP) Best Employee -- Ashton Benge (Benning Design Construction)

Best Employee -- Linda Aleman (Express Employment Professionals) RAMA (Responsible Alcohol Merchant Award) Winners (RAMA is an environmental prevention project that reduces youth access to alcohol.

It is a positive way to improve the health and safety of a community by recognizing alcohol merchants who actively work to ensure youth do not get alcohol from their stores and follow state and local laws about alcohol sales.)

FarmpFlavor Extreme is the New Normal

By Kerin Gould

Is “extremely mild” too much of an oxymoron? Climate change has brought us an extremely mild late summer-early fall season, which is perfect for me, a born New Englander, and my dog Pumpkin, who loathes the heat. It’s not great for eggplant and tomatoes. I usually enjoy a resurgence among some plants like beans and a last hurrah from tomatoes that goes well into late October and often makes me turn the field over later than I should. Is this it? Should my broccoli and garlic be in the ground already?

Should I be getting ready to cover the citrus trees?

As a micro-farmer who plants for variety, I have builtin flexibility and resilience.

Large producers, however, had a late spring, a slow start getting plants going, and now may see an early fall. Predictability affects their sale prices, contracts, soil amendments and labor, and the many variables that go into producing food for us. It’s a big puzzle, and the parameters keep shifting around.

The jet stream, that ribbon of wind that circles the globe, used to undulate gently, giving us our patterns of weather. It has gone haywire. Weather predictions, like the Old Farmers’ almanac, use past de-

cades’ weather records to make predictions, but who could see these wild contortions coming?

Even for myself, the lack of predictable weather means some of my seed choices and planting plans will be mocked by the weird weather. If you garden, and things didn’t flourish as expected, don’t feel bad – it’s probably nothing that you did.

But we should be aware that our food system is facing real challenges.

I am not complaining about the milder growing conditions, even if my late tomatoes and sweet potatoes are taking their time about maturing in the hoop house. This year has seen

extreme fires all over California, the largest and most furious on record. Hawai’i is experiencing extreme flooding, and hurricane season isn’t over yet.

Death Valley, Australia and India broke heat records this year, while Russia and New England broke records for the coldest temperatures. Coral is bleaching away due to warmer and more acidic sea water, and Florida is seeing extremely toxic algae blooms and terrible aquatic animal die-offs. And the damage to wildlife populations…. extreme is the new normal.

I think we must admit that humans have a hand in these events and that recycling cans and ditching straws is too mild a response to undo this extreme mess. If for no other reason than to protect our own food supply and physical safety in the immediate future, we can’t address this mess with tepid, baby-step remedies.

In addition to climate extremes, we are also facing social extremes. (Related?) Extreme inhumanity and an alarming lack of compassion in some cases, where a victim’s otherness is used to justify violence and cruelty. We see extreme greed and selfishness, me-first-ism, and isolationism raised to near cult status. Materialism and economic disparity are reaching extreme levels too.

We hear extremely, outrageously dishonest statements daily. Young people witness extreme acts of violence and injustice, enough that it affects their development. Will we accept this as normal?

Just as with climate change, our response to these extremes cannot be mild or wishy-washy.

We have to take a solid stand both for the planet and for our fellow beings. We need to say a firm “No!” to extreme toxiciSee Extreme page 10

Eclectic Phoenix & Arabeth art exhibit to be held at Lion’s Roar Dharma Center

By Monica Stark

To kick off its new arts program, Lion’s Roar Dharma Center will present “The Art of Phoenix & Arabeth” on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 12 and 13. The works on display include Buddhist dharma designs, fantastic and visionary works, plus body art and tattoo designs. Exhibit viewing times are noon to 8 p.m. both days at the Lion’s Roar Dharma Center, located at 3240 B St. in East Sacramento.

For nearly 50 years Phoenix & Arabeth has produced

works in diverse media, including acrylic paintings, ink and pencil drawings, collage and digital works. Phoenix & Arabeth’s favorite themes (such as the Earth, ancient cultures and deities, dance, tattoos, shamans, mermaids, UFOs and the human figure) are all represented here.

Over recent months Phoenix has created the blue buddhas on the front exterior of LRDC, and has been painting a Buddhist mural in the temple vestibule. The occasion of this exhibit will also be the first public viewing opportunity of this new entryway mural.

Phoenix & Arabeth has published over a dozen books, which encompass original art, ancient Egyptian culture, tattoo history, and henna craft. He is currently working on a memoir about his long colorful sojourn in the arts scene throughout California.

Phoenix, the mythic firebird who periodically is consumed by its own flames, only to be reborn from the ashes, and Arabeth, a visionary name for the Muse of Inspiration, combined gives meaning to the artist’s pen name. That said, most who know his work just call him plain Phoenix.

Lion’s Roar Dharma Center is a Vajrayana Buddhist temple in the tradition of the Dalai Lama. Regular services, teachings and meditations are offered to the public. Special rituals and empowerment ceremonies are occasionally performed by Tibetan and Mongolian teachers and monks from Asia.

When Phoenix found out that Lama Jinpa, a long time friend from the Tibetan Buddhist realm, had acquired a new temple building in East Sacramento, the artist decided to visit last summer. “Observing that the building had entirely white walls, I suggested that it really needed See Phoenix page 7

the traditional colors of the five Buddha families of the Vajrayana. He agreed, and I started coming occasionally last winter to work on decorating the temple more appropriately,” Phoenix said.

Intended to help people transition from the ordinary reality of our stress-laden world, the mural, Phoenix said invites visitors to “stop and breathe, decompress a moment before they enter the peaceful, spiritual realm of the temple.” In a meeting of minds, he envisioned with Lama Jinpa and the Geshe Daamchoe, his Mongolian teaching associate, the main mural image to be a traditional Tibetan style Enlightenment Stupa (Chorten in Tibetan). From that core concept, Phoenix chose to add the four Asian power animals of the four directions (snow lion, Garuda, dragon and tiger) in the four corners, as he built a deep landscape that invokes the layers

of mountain ranges of the Himalayas. Having been working on it since the beginning of 2018 about one week a month, Phoenix utilized the help of a Sangha member named Peter who helped construct the central stupa in 3D, to his design with sheetrock and plaster.

The inventor of the term “fantastic realism” Phoenix says it’s to describe the imagery he’s most often moved to create. “It’s not exactly realism, surrealism, symbolism or fantasy, but has elements of all of those, and then some.”

At an early age, drawn to the art pages in an encyclopedia, Phoenix discovered Symbolist and other realist painters of mythology from the Victorian era, then, in college, he uncovered the Art Nouveau artists, still a favorite influence. “Mayfield Parrish was also of interest.

Mucha and Bouguereau were masters of the human form, whose works I did and still admire, and try to emulate to

what minor extent I am able,” he says.

Taken by ancient Egyptian art, and the realism of the Greeks, Phoenix eventually undertook a global study of all the ancient cultures, primitive art, rock art and tattooing. “I really wanted to know the full range and palette of human art creativity, to know the existing parameters and perhaps how to break out of them,” he says. Since Tibetan art was an early influence, from about 1970, and a form that Phoenix has continued to study ever since, he says, “it seems very appropriate to be adding some of my knowledge and craft to the temple and Sangha that Lama Jinpa has created here, where I trust it will take on a life of its own as an integral part of this physical temple mandala.”

First Christian Church Plans a “Blues for a Cause Concert” to Benefit Puerto Rico

By Jan Dalske

First Christian Church, which is located at 3901 Folsom Blvd in Sacramento, is sponsoring a Blues Concert.

The local group, Red’s Blues, will perform at 6 PM on Saturday, October 6th. The Suggested Donation is from $10 to $15. All proceeds will benefit Puerto Rico Hurricane Maria relief efforts.

Hurricane Maria was described as a “50 mile –wide tornado that made a direct hit on the Island”. “It was as if a 50 to 60 mile-wide tornado raged across Puerto Rico like a buzz saw,” Jeff Weber, a meteorologist with the National Center for Atmospheric Research, say. “It’s almost as strong as a hurricane can get in a direct hit.” The record books indicate that it was the fifth strongest storm ever to hit the United States.

This storm was the strongest storm to hit the island in eighty years. “The devastation is vast.” Governor Rossello said in a statement. “Our infrastructure and energy distribution systems suffered great damages.” Exact figures on the extent of the damage and the costs of repairs on the island are not yet known. This is due to the fact that communications on the island were non-existent.

Many of the roads are damaged, which makes travel difficult. Moody’s Analytics, a financial services firm, estimated that the storm could cost Puerto Rico $45 to $90 Billion. The hurricane knocked out 80% of the island’s power transmission lines, according to the Associated Press.

Close to one million electricity customers had been without power. Some residents have generators, but many more still need them.

Even without hurricanes, power outages are frequent Valley Community Newspapers, Inc.

on the island. When there is no electricity, there is no power to pump water into the homes. Water is needed for bathing and to flush toilets.

And, many people have been drinking from contaminated streams.

Members of the First Christian Church will be going as guests of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Puerto Rico. They will be working with local families to help with repairs, construction, and rebuilding of homes and community buildings that were damaged in last year’s hurricane. The majority of the fifteen church members that are planning to go on the trip have prior experience.

They traveled to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit that area of our country in 2005. The First Christian Church is in need of financial donations as well as prayers for their efforts to be successful. They are encouraging you to join their parishioners and their families for a great night of “feel Good Blues” on Saturday, October 6th. Performing will be the well-known band, Red’s Blues.

You can check out the group on their Facebook page, www. facebook.com/redsbluessac, for lots of info, music, photos and more. Red’s Blues are a blues revue, keeping the blues alive with lots of traditional, Chicago shuffles, New Orleans-delta, West Coast blues, acoustic and electric, as well as original Americana/ roots music. They perform as a trio, four or five-piece band.

Beth, and her husband, Richard (RW) Grigsby, an award winning bass player started Red’s Blues in 2012. Red’s Blues’ focus is on original and traditional blues.

The group was aptly named because Beth is a redhead and she is the lead singer.

The couple wanted a proj-

ect to work on together. RW is also bass player for touring group Golden State Lone Star Blues Revue, and Mark Hummel and the Blues Harmonica Blowouts. RW is being inducted into the Sacramento Blues Hall of Fame on September 30th at Harlow’s. Check out the Sacramento Blues Society website:

help them to rebuild. This mission trip will be a people to people mission to help restore hope to the people there. It will be our way to say ‘we are with you, you are not forgotten’. For we human beings, despair can be the worst disaster, and hope can be the most powerful remedy.”

Sacramento United Progressives Are Interested In Building a Local Coalition in California

By Jan Dalske

The California Progressive Alliance is an emerging corporate-free network of true progressives carrying on the values and the organizing work of California’s 2018 primary election. They welcome your ideas, input, and participation as they invite more and more Californians into this big progressive tent. The organizers feel that there are many possible models for the creation of a Sacramento progressive coalition.

They are not interested in replacing any existing groups, but in building something larger.

“There are dozens of progressive organizations in Sacramento. Some are political parties, or a part of one. Some are very narrowly focused on important issues like housing and healthcare, engaged in electoral politics a lot, or hardly at all.

Some are associated with a particular ethnic, racial or religious constituency, and others are not.” states David Mandel.

They seek to elevate progressive ideas, promote the cre-

ation of local political alliances and coalitions for political power, support corporate-free progressive candidates and issue based electoral campaigns, and expand the communication and dialogue among all of their progressive family in the state of California, respecting and supporting the work done by all. Working shoulder to shoulder, we will support the peoples’ struggles, to organize progressive coalitions, promote new policies, and mobilize all Californians of good will, regardless of party affiliation, and who are willing to transform the state of California.

The Progressive Alliance is a multi-racial, multi-issue “rainbow coalition” dedicated to social justice, peace and building progressive power. Our key priorities include economic justice; equal rights and equal opportunities for all regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation; international solidarity; humanitarian service; eradicating poverty at home and abroad; environmental protec-

tion and sustainable development; and electing progressives to public office and then holding them accountable.

Founded in 2005, they have grown to more than 7,000 members and have emerged as one of the largest and most grassroots activist groups in California. The group is proud to serve as a local chapter of Our Revolution, the national movement inspired by Bernie Sanders’ historic 2016 Presidential Campaign. They are also a local affiliate of United for Peace & Justice (UFPJ), a network of several hundred peace and justice groups from all over the world.

The group called the Wellstone Progressive Democrats of Sacramento and the Progressive Caucus of the California Democratic Party believe in the promotion of principle before politics and policy before unquestioning fealty to any individual or organization. They seek to build a movement within the current Democratic Party. Their goal is to one day see a government that is controlled but the citizens, not by oligarchic interests.

By belonging to the Caucus, the group affirms its dedication to “work for a world where the rights of all people are recognized as equal and inalienable, and where social justice paves the way for true peace”. They

believe in the Constitution of the United States of America and the right of the People to self-government. They also support the restoration of an equal balance of powers between the branches of our Federal Government.

Their platform focuses on lifting all people above the poverty line. This includes the sick, the disabled, the homeless, the hungry, the elderly, and the unemployed. They want to reset our local, state, and national priorities to make available affordable housing and provide a living wage for everyone. They support the rights of workers to form and join unions that will protect their interests. Labor, commerce and profits which are obtained without respect for fair wages, decent working conditions and the dignity of workers is both unjust and immoral.

They would like to see a commitment to redirect resources from what they call “wasteful and unnecessary military spending” to programs which supply the basic needs to humans. As Dr. Martin Luther King observed over forty years ago, “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death”.

Their platform includes the statement “that everyone has

the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law and are therefore entitled to equal rights and treatment and that no one should be denied these rights because of economic status, class, race, color, creed, age, ethnic identity, ethnicity, national origin, language, culture, gender, gender identification, sexual orientation, religion, or disabilities as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990”. They support the complete separation of Church and State.

Three top priorities are: To encourage building local, diverse, inclusive, corporate-free progressive alliances in cities throughout California and facilitate a network of progressive groups and statewide unions to pressure the legislature to get their statewide issues passed. To fight for Single Payer “Medicare for all”, Free Public College, Closing Prop 13 corporate loophole, a Progressive Millionaires Tax, an Oil Severance Tax, a CA Public Bank, affordable housing, defend unions, our public schools and immigrant rights. And, to keep a watchful eye on Sacramento backroom deals, denounce the corporate control of our statewide politics, and organize progressive organizations and leaders to implement a People’s Agenda.

they are browned on the outside and soft on the inside.

Peel garlic and tomatillos and put them in a blender or food processor. Remove the stem and seeds from the peppers and add them to the blender. Add cilantro and salt to taste, and blend to the desired consistency (chunky vs smooth).

ty, whether that is between humans or between humans and the planet.

As I have said before, eating mostly produce from small, non-toxic, earth-friendly farms is one way to push back firmly against climate change. Eating that delicious food with other people may help revive our humanity and give us a break from the extremes.

Tomatillos are resilient plants and seem to thrive no matter the weather shifts. And they make a stupendous salsa 10
