EXPERIENCE COUNTS! Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor, I have been hearing a bit more about the Del Rio Trail lately and want to share an idea I came up with in May after a LPCA meeting.

From the south area meeting I went to about the trail, the idea was to run part of the trail north of Sutterville, behind the houses on the west side of the railroad tracks and across an expanded railroad bridge over I 5 to the trail along the river. From the recent pictures I have seen, the trail seems to now end at Sutterville road.

I happen to work in that area quite often with the Land Park Volunteer Corps and am the latest gardener at the tracks on the north side of Sutterville Road. We call it the cactus garden.

I also live nearby and ride my bike up Riverside Blvd. to the over crossing and then to the river trail. Besides being a long uphill trip, it is somewhat dangerous having to deal with the traffic on Sutterville.

I would like to propose the idea of building a bicycle/pedestrian bridge that would cross over Riverside and I 5 and then connect up with the river trail. As the walkway along Sutterville, next to the zoo, crosses the tracks, it goes up hill slightly and then almost doubles in width as it moves west. Just before it moves down to Riverside, it is at its highest point,

next to the road that exists Sutterville to go to Riverside. This is the point that the bridge could begin. It is a long stretch for the overcrossing but there is a shorter one just south near the grammar school. Putting more bicycle riders on Sutterville during rush hour traffic is guaranteed to cause a lot of problems. If the plan is still to run the trail north of Suttervillle, running the train to the zoo from downtown is going to be a problem on the railroad bridge unless it is greatly widened.

I assume a bridge over both Riverside and I 5 would be expensive, but the idea is to get people to use the trail and be safe. There is plenty of room to connect the bridge to the river trail as there are no railroad tracks in the way. The Sutterville bike area is narrow and has two exits from Sutterville and two entrances onto it for people to cross. The two exits do not have traffic signs and bikers would need to compete with the busy traffic for right of way, while having to peddle up hill.

Such a bridge could be built with a nice northward curve to it as it drops down onto the river bike trail.

Sincerely, Bob Ream

Jesus in a cage:

Photo courtesy

On the Parkside Community Church lawn, the congregation imagines what it might look like if Mary and Joseph entered the U.S in 2018 seeking asylum with their baby, Jesus.

Matthew 2:13-23 tells the story of the Holy Family fleeing from a violent ruler in their homeland. They found refuge in Egypt. The church states, “How is their story different from the many families seeking asylum at our border? As Christians, we denounce the cruel policy of separating families seeking asylum in the U.S. We demand that all children be reunited with their parents immediately.�

Nativity display prompts discussion on immigrant children held at the border

By Elizabeth Griswold

The conversation didn’t take long. I spoke recently with Parkside Community Church’s other pastor, Rev. Bonnie Rambob, to see what she thought of the idea of setting up a display on the church’s front lawn to demonstrate our solidarity with immigrant families separated at the border. She immediately agreed. Her husband, Rev. Raj Rambob, committed on the spot to being our building project leader.

Our Church Council voted unanimously to support it. So then while I tracked down nativity scene figures of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus; the Rambobs bought the supplies for our makeshift jails—and we were ready to begin.

Church members gathered in the morning of Saturday, June 30, to construct the fences around the Holy Family, before heading over to the “Families Belong Together� rally at ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) offices down-

town. The idea was that we have a unique perspective as a church, and a unique voice with which to proclaim it.

Our perspective is one of faith—and in our Christian tradition we follow a savior who was himself an asylum seeker, who lived as a Jew under the oppressive Roman Empire, who died as a Person of Color at the hands of the state. And we feel it is our duty to use our Christian voice to connect that biblical story to the stories of families facing similarly harrowing experiences today.

It’s easy to forget that the story of Jesus’ birth includes a disturbing chapter in the Gospel of Matthew that sounds like it was ripped from today’s headlines. In Matthew 2, the Roman-appointed King Herod feels threatened by the baby Jesus. So like any oppressive ruler worth his salt, he makes a commanding, racist, and violent decree. All children under age two shall be killed. In fear for their lives, Jesus’ holy family is forced to leave their country to find

safety in neighboring Egypt.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph flee violence in their homeland and seek asylum in another country until it is safe for them to return.

Yet that’s where our modern tale takes a different turn. Unlike ancient Egypt, the contemporary United States is not welcoming families who are fleeing violence. We are locking them up in cages!

Last year our church voted unanimously on Palm Sunday to become a Solidarity Congregation. We pledged to aid any family who is facing deportation and is seeking sanctuary; and we committed to stand in solidarity with immigrants by making public declaration of our support. So Parkside decided to creatively raise our Christian voice to proclaim this current unGodly treachery against the human family by inserting the biblical characters into the modern narrative. Creating this

display was our faith-based obligation.

Even in an artistic display, how hideous it is to see Jesus, Mary, and Joseph separated and locked up! And since every family is a Holy Family, in real life how hideous it is to see our sisters and brothers from the south separated and locked up!

My five-year-old daughter, who helped create the dis-

play at Parkside, explains that we hope everyone who sees the cages understands that just as Jesus shouldn’t be in jail for being an immigrant, neither should anyone else. Our message is really that simple.

Elizabeth Griswold is a pastor at Parkside Community Church on South Land Park Drive and 35th Avenue.

District 7 Parks and Recreation Commissioner Devin Lavelle

By Patricia A. Clark

He was entry number 23 in this year’s July 4 Pocket Parade, riding in an emerald green ’57 Thunderbird convertible. He is a director for the CSUS Alumni Association and founded the Hornets Policy & Politics Alumni Association. He is a founding member of the Pocket-Greenhaven Community Association. He is Charlie and Henry’s dad and Fiona’s husband. He is your District 7 Parks & Recreation Commissioner and his name is Devin Lavelle.

The City Parks and Recreation Commission has 11 members and meets monthly on the first Thursday of each month at City Hall. Each of the eight city council members, plus the mayor, appoint one commissioner. The commission also includes two atlarge members for a total of 11. The objectives of the commission include providing recommendations to the city council and the department of parks and recreation on policies and projects, recommendations on the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, reviewing the department’s annual budget, discussing issues and needs with neighborhood associations and other relevant groups, and encouraging contributions and volunteer services for parks and recreation facilities.

Residents interested in serving on the commission must

apply when the position is open and are appointed by the council member or mayor for a 4-year term. Devin was appointed by Council member Rick Jennings in March to fill out the remaining months of a 4-year term when the position was vacated and he’s hoping to make the most of the chance. “I love the opportunity to give back to this wonderful community,” he said.

And public service is a tenet for Devin Lavelle.

He grew up in Oakland with public service prominent in his family. Devin’s mom was a teacher in the public school system and his father was a baker. His grandfather, after serving in World War II, worked for the U.S. Forest Service and later served on the city council for his rural Colorado town and was elected mayor. After attending Oakland Technical High School, he graduated from Pomona College in Claremont with a degree in Political Science.

After moving to Sacramento in 2006, Devin entered CSU Sacramento’s Public Policy and Administration Master’s Program and now works for the State of California at the California Research Bureau within the State Library.

Devin and wife Fiona are the proud parents of two boys, Henry (2-1/2) and Charlie (8 months).

In fact, Devin’s exposure to a multitude of District 7 parks has been greatly enhanced taking his energet-

ic boys to play dates at parks, as well as several volunteer activities he has spearheaded. During our interview, he talked about park renovation plans. “We are lucky that we have so many parks in Pocket,” he said, adding “generally, the city takes good care of parks and the parks are accessible to everyone.” Parks include our bike trails, Devin emphasized, as he itemized several bike trail improvements along the canals including pavement resurfacing, additional signage, trash cans and benches.

One of Council member Jennings’ parks goals is to ensure that parks are meeting the changing needs of communities and Devin Lavelle is keenly in touch with changing needs. After the recent renovation of the Lewis Park Tennis Courts, young parents told Devin of the desire for a splash park feature. He then visited Bertha Henschel Park in East Sacramento to check out that park’s beloved water feature. Another example is the effort for a community garden at Sojourner Truth Park. Changing demographics in a neighborhood affect park needs, Devin emphasized. This concept figures in his three major goals for representing District 7 on the Parks and Recreation Commission.

Devin’s first goal is to get the community as engaged as possible with their parks, so they feel a sense of own-

ership. Volunteer days is one way to accomplish that goal.

The recent volunteer day at Renfree Park in June is a good example and Devin handed out lots of flyers to nearby neighbors to encourage participation in the clean-up day.

With a dad’s enthusiasm, he mentions how proud he was to see his son Henry painting and raking at the Renfree clean-up. His second goal is to get the Sacramento River Parkway completed. This is a long-term goal and necessitates advocating for additional funding, as about half of the needed funding has been

obtained. Devin’s third goal is adding features and renovating parks to meet changing needs. A community center or public pool would be a big challenge, he adds, but the need for a community center is illustrated by how heavily booked the community room is now at the Robbie Waters Pocket-Greenhaven Library.

Devin Lavelle is fortunate and he knows it. Twice during our interview, he paused to say how grateful he is to his wife Fiona for keeping things running at home, raising their young boys well, while he pursues his public service dreams both at work and for the community. Not far behind was the appreciation he expressed to Council member Jennings for the opportunity to serve and give back to the community.

As your parks commissioner, Devin wants to hear from District 7 residents and is hoping to speak at neighborhood association meetings and to other groups as well.

To invite him to your meeting or event, or to pass on your concerns, questions or ideas about parks in our community, contact him at parks@ devinlavelle.com.

Business round table aims to assist local businesses

By LANCE ARMSTRONG

The Pocket Greenhaven Community Association recently held their second Local Business Round Table.

The round table group, which first met in late February, was formed for the purpose of bringing local businesses together to communicate with one another and find avenues to promote those businesses.

Among the intentions of the group is to address business concerns, including how to approach seasonal promotions and events, and ongoing landlord-tenant issues.

Through the group’s informal meetings, attendees can bond together to find ways to obtain stronger support in the neighborhood.

With a purpose of getting all voices together, the meetings are open to business owners and any residents who are interested in joining the group.

PGCA President Will Cannady said that the association is excited about the formation of this group.

“These days, businesses need all the help they can get,” he said. “You can get a lot of businesses together all in one room and offer them support, but

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

you can also get them talking about issues and what they’re facing and see if we can help them,” he said.

While gathered around a table at the Robbie Waters Pocket-Greenhaven Library on June 28, attendees of the group’s second meeting listened to a presentation by Pocket resident Ken Fong.

Fong, a local marketing strategist whose business background has mostly been in the field of information technology, discussed various ideas for improving business operations.

The meeting also provided opportunities for participants to discuss ways to market businesses to the local community and organize “shop local” campaigns within the neighborhood.

During the gathering, Fong encouraged small business operators to use the power of technology to leverage their time to help bring new customers into their businesses and bring back former customers.

Included in this speech were various marketing ideas, including using (the e-commerce marketplace) Groupon, and setting aside certain days to focus on different businesses to assist them in driving more customers in their direction.

Fong mentioned that he takes a very analytical approach to his own business.

“When I started doing my own marketing consulting, I

had (that) kind of approach,” he said.

Fong added that his consulting is designed for small business operators, who generally have a smaller marketing budget.

A key element for conducting a successful business, Fong noted, is to continue to stay in contact with customers. He added that this action can be done through technology to save time and money.

“Keep contacting them,” he said. “What I do is I use auto responders and technology to do that for me. I’m not going out and doing it. I’m trying to use low-cost or free ways.”

Fong also spoke to the group about a “birthday club” marketing strategy to attract new and old customers to businesses on their birthdays for free or discounted products. He shared details about his own experience creating birthday clubs for restaurants, and how the restaurants can profit financially through those clubs.

With his strong belief in the power of using technology to help businesses succeed, Fong continuously promotes this business tool.

“The technology is the thing that helps a lot of this stuff to go on,” he said. “There’s a saying that I’ve been telling people when they talk about what’s available. I go, ‘You don’t know what you don’t know that’s out there, that technology can do so much for you. You just don’t know it.’

“So, part of my wanting to do this was to let them kind of know what some of the technology that I am aware of does, because it’s out there.”

Cannady said that the association is seeking other speakers to share their business ideas with the group.

“We’re always looking for anyone that would want to come out and help local businesses, whether it’s a speaker like Mr. Fong or anybody with business experience who can help give us a better prospective, a better understanding of what we need to do to make

sure our local businesses stay strong,” he said.

PGCA Vice President Mary McCune said that the timing was right for the creation of the Local Business Round Table.

“I saw that there was an opening (for the round table), especially as more residents and some small business owners were starting to attend our general meeting,” she said. “(This was) a way to support them, (while) at the same time acknowledging that a lot of big box businesses were opening up and attracting business less than five minutes south of us.

We had our first meeting about four months ago, and there’s a lot of interest in learning how to market, specifically to Pocket-Greenhaven residents, and then also how to create more business for themselves.”

Cannady mentioned that the Local Business Round Table represents another way that the Pocket Greenhaven Community Association is supporting its motto.

“Our motto is to promote, inform and to protect an exceptional neighborhood,” he said. “That’s something that we believe in very strongly, whether it’s trying to support local businesses or inform the neighborhood about upcoming changes or things that are happening. We’re always lookSee Roundtable, page 7 Valley Community Newspapers, Inc.

Richard and Christie Wierzbicki, independent owners of the Pocket’s Grocery Outlet store, listen to the presentation.

ing to try to support the Pocket-Greenhaven area.”

Although the group is still new, its members include a range of business owners from traditional brick and mortar stores such a grocery store to people working out of their homes selling such items as flowers and flavored popcorn.

Cannady said that it was important for this business group to not exclude those who work from their homes.

“A lot of times, people just think, ‘Oh, businesses are just that store down the street,’

but a lot of people work from their homes, especially in our neighborhood. So, we need to support those businesses, as well.”

As for how often the business round table group will meet, McCune said that attendees of those meetings expressed interest in potentially getting together on a quarterly basis.

State Fair now underway 17-day event to offer rides, music, entertainment, more

FarmpFlavor Rebellious, resistant roots

By Kerin Gould

When my new hoop house was being assembled, the soil to be covered was tilled, evened out with a rotary harrow and then, once the structure was assembled, fluffed again. In spite of this, and without any water, a lone, rebel squash plant has popped up, been trampled flat as we moved rafters and cross-beams into place, and popped back up to thrive, bigger and better than any of the squashes I planted properly — which is a little embarrassing. Weeds in that area must go, but this plant has my full respect and admiration, and it has earned its place through sheer determination. Turns out it’s a round zucchini, already producing tasty food for me to share. I almost feel that eating its squashes will make me fierce and resistant too. I will save seeds from this hardy plant at the end of summer, since a tough, heat and drought-resistant plant is truly valuable in our changing climate.

It makes me think of my fierce friends who have resisted things that could have flattened and extinguished them: one friend is still overcoming a flesh-eating mystery illness and lost

both her mom and her dear old dog in the same year, but held a community open-mic on her porch amid fire-flies this weekend; another friend with stage 4 cancer lost her husband to a police shooting, but has the strength to keep her family together and lead protests against such excess violence; a wonderful woman, who is postmastectomy and comes to my cooking class for folks facing cancer, joked about shouting at her husband to help her find her “boobs”, the good ones, making the other cancer-resisters at the table laugh out loud.

That fierce resistance also reminds me of the families of color who are encouraging their kids to go forward and dream big in spite of the recent resurgence of violence and discrimination, teaching them how to safely respond, how to thrive in spite of it.

And the LGBTQ families, steadfast in their right to be who they are and love who they love. While the schoolkids who are currently growing up may take acceptance and inclusion for granted now, they may be called in the future to stand and defend their friends and families.

I also admire the folks who have cleared incredible obstacles to come to this country, often escaping terrible situations of repression, corruption, violence, domestic abuse, and extreme poverty. Some of my own family came here that way, fleeing violence against Armenians or the poverty of Ireland or religious oppression against Quakers. Not only do such determined people add more to this country than they get back and commit fewer crimes than the general population (as demonstrated in the Washington Post article “Two charts demolish the notion that immigrants here illegally commit more crime,”

by Christopher Ingraham), their resolve to work and raise their families safely and decently deserves our support and compassion. Of course, the Indigenous peoples of the continent have demonstrated the most incredible resistance and tenacity right here on their own lands.

So, I salute the rebels, the resisters, the ones who make goodness out of the harshest conditions, the folks who take root, blossom beautifully and then are fruitful and giving. You are tough. You are inspiring. You are truly valuable in our changing climate.

In honor of the resilient and prodigious zucchini, I offer this kidfriendly recipe, full of garlic and tomatoes, but without pasta or dough:

Pizza Canoes

Ingredients 8 zucchinis cut in half lengthwise Garlic - at least one clove, more if you like 1 Onion 3 full size tomatoes or 10 oz tomato puree Oregano and Basil Salt and Pepper Pinch of brown sugar Olive oil Shredded mozzarella cheese or cheese substitute Directions • Mince garlic and onion and sauté in olive oil on medium heat. Flavor to taste with basil, oregano, pinch of sugar (takes the acid/bitter taste off the tomato for kids’ palates), salt and pepper. If using fresh herbs, chop finely.

• Chop tomatoes and add to sauté.

• Using a grapefruit spoon, hollow out the zucchini to make a “dugout canoe”, leaving a solid 1/4” wall to hold the filling. Add the scooped out zucchini to the sauté mix and let simmer.

• On a lightly oiled baking sheet, arrange the “canoes”.

• When the filling is cooked, scoop neatly into the canoes. Top with shredded cheese or vegan cheez.

• Bake at 375 degrees until the cheese melts and the zucchini is tender, 2030 minutes (depending on the size of the canoes).

• Remove from the baking sheet with a spatula and serve hot.

Snapped in Sac

Photos by Elizabeth Xiu Wong Special to the Pocket News

While out and about photographer Elizabeth Xiu Wong snapped some fun photos.

Elizabeth has the inside scoop on the two guardian lion statues at the new SF Marketplace in South Hills. “They were originally placed on the wrong platforms,” she writes. “Daddy Lion (foot on ball) should be on left greeting visitors. The week prior to the grand opening, Elizabeth found him standing on his right, but someone caught that error, and reversed Daddy and Mommy Lion (shown with a baby under her foot). Each statue weighs at least 500 pounds!! Their eyes were “dotted open” with good luck red paint.

Elizabeth, a self-proclaimed “Asian foodie” included these favorite ingredients not found in mainstream American markets. This durian fruit costs $8.99 per pound. Weighing in at 5 pounds, one fruit can cost $50. As quoted from the Smithsonian Magazine, the late Anthony Bourdain called the taste and smell of the fruit “indescribable, something you will either love or despise…

Your breath will smell as if you’d been French-kissing your dead grandmother.”

Feral cats: Continued from page 2

covered the $17 cost for these services, which are available by appointment-only. In addition to the sterilization surgery, these cats receive vaccines for rabies and FVRCP, as well as flea and ear mite treatment. The cats' ears are tipped to mark them altered.

After their appointments, the cats are released back into their colonies. Releasing the cats is an important step because it prevents colony vacuums – environments with resources, such as food, water and shelter – that suck in new colonies of cats when the original colonies are removed. The TNR Program stabilizes the colonies, and they eventually shrink over time. Such colonies are found all over the Greater Sacramento Area and have “hot spots” in highly populated areas, and areas with high resident turnover, such as apartment complexes and student housing, explained Setars, who serves as the TNR Program Coordinator.

When the SSPCA first started the Sunday Feral Cat Clinic, it was only available once per month, and the vet saw just 20 to 30 cats at a time. Now in its 11th year, three vets spay or neuter 100 to 150 cats each Sunday, or as many as 600 cats a month. Those high volume numbers are not necessarily due to an increase in feral cats, but rather a greater awareness of the problem and an increase in resources.

“Awareness is a good thing, whether it makes life harder for us or not,” said Kay Schlegel, who runs the nonprofit Coalition for Community Cats. She and her team of about 10 to 15 volunteers man the first Sunday clinic of each month, in addition to covering all of the costs.

From 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., the volunteers check in cats, transport them for shots, observe the cats after surgery, and then discharge them back to their trappers.

Susan Heaton is one such trapper.

At any given time, she has as many as 14 traps in her backyard and others on loan. She trains volunteers how to safely

ways possible. Kittens born in dirty colonies often suffer disease and die.

It's that suffering that motivates the feral cat community to continue to help.

“We feel the heartache of these cats that continuously breed. We see kittens at risk, mothers at risk. We see the fighting of the males for procreation, and we just can't stand it,” explained Schlegal, who along with everyone at her nonprofit is unpaid. Private donors and a yearly walk-a-thon fund their work.

Stetars credits volunteers like Schlegal and Heaton with inspiring her work at the SSPCA. “They are such a force and a champion, a truly overlooked part of our community.”

The SSPCA and Coalition for Community Cats are always looking for more volunteers, but most importantly, they stress the need for everyone to follow a simple rule with all cats, feral or domestic: If you feed it, fix it.

trap and handle cats to prevent injury to the cats and to themselves.

“I try to help everyone that comes my way – teaching people the ropes, helping them get vouchers and space in clinics,” she said.

In addition to the Sunday clinic, the SSPCA accepts trapped ferals at its spay/neuter clinic Monday through Saturday for a cost of $50 for a female and $35 for a male. Coalition for Community Cats provides volunteers with vouchers to help cover the cost of this first-come, first-serve option.

Heaton and a group of about 20 other dedicated volunteers utilize both options in the TNR Program. While the volunteers are always busy, Heaton said they become swamped in the summer when kitten births spike. “We're killing ourselves trying to make a difference,” she said.

“We're overworked and overburdened.”

When trappers find kittens, they or other foster volunteers try to rehabilitate them for adoption, but this requires a lot of time and effort, and it is not al-

Sacramento Shakespeare Festival Opens their 2018 Season

By Jan Dalske

The Sacramento Shakespeare Festival has provided top quality productions for many years. They have included two of Shakespeare’s plays each summer from late June through early August in William Land Park (WLP), and have been presented since 1986. They have also been presented at Sacramento City College since 1966. The plays in WLP are performed in the Amphitheatre with audiences of several thousand people who come from many of the cities in Sacramento County.

The 2018 Season begins with “The Count of Monte Cristo”. This play is adapted from the novel written by Alexandre Dumas. The first performance date is June 29th. Edmond Dantes is framed and imprisoned by a conspiracy. He spends fourteen years plotting his revenge. Through providence he escapes. The lives of three powerful families are thrown into chaos with the arrival of the mysterious Count of Monte Cristo, a man of untold wealth who carries with him secrets from the past which may destroy them all.

This adaption was written by Christopher Walsh, and brings “a fresh look to this dark tale of intrigue and vengeance”.

“Henry V” is a history play by William Shakespeare, and is believed to have been written around 1599. Henry is new to the throne and wants to prove his military strength, so

he declares war against France, who is England’s enemy. The play presents the interactions as the country prepares for war.

This play puts a new spin on the story for our modern world.

but this year I have a featured role as a villain in France in the early 1800s. The language is very easy to understand and there’s lots of action once the plot has been set.” –Mike Poe

Performances for both of these plays are at 7:30 pm on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The Box Office opens at 6 pm and the gates are open at 6:30 pm.

You can purchase tickets online at their website: http:// www.sacramentoshakespeare. net/stagehtm You can also buy them at Kline Music at 2200 Sutterville Rd, Sacramento, or at the door on the day of each performance at 6 pm.

The actors want to share their thoughts with you about these plays.

“This show has given me great confidence in stage combat!”

–Liam W.O.

The Sacramento Shakespeare Festival needs sponsors, and you can help! Ticket sales only cover half of what it costs to produce the Festival. The balance of the cost is covered by grants, individual donations, and corporate sponsorships. With more sponsors, they would have more money to allocate to their artists. They could also increase the comfort of the theatre, and provide higher levels of technical support. Sponsorships start at under $500, for a Contributor, and you can donate any amount that you would like.

Please contact Luther Hanson at 916-558-2173 for more details about supporting the Sacramento Shakespeare Festival.
