Art at the Arena STUNNING LOCAL WORKS ADD TO GOLDEN 1 CENTER’S BEAUTY
M
y husband says that I see the world through the eyes of an artist. Even though I haven’t practiced studio art in more than a decade, my involvement with the arts in our community is the driving force behind much of my energy. While my husband appreciates art and design, he’s hardly an expert. But he reminds me often that his life has been enhanced because, after more than 27 years of marriage, I still help him see things in a new way. I’m grateful that the past few months in Sacramento have been very art-oriented. On the tail end of the hugely successful Sacramento Mural Fest in August came the opening of Golden 1 Center. The arena’s publicart component brought about one of the most significant community controversies ever about the role of public art. An expert panel chosen by the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission and charged with selecting the art was presented early on with the idea of a single Jeff Koons sculpture for the arena plaza. (The established practice for a publicart decision of this size would have involved selecting among various site-specific proposals from several qualified artists.)
CH By Cecily Hastings Publisher
The idea was put forth by Marcy Friedman and her son, Mark, along with Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive. It was no small detail that the sculpture’s $8 million cost surpassed the original $5.5 million art budget. Putting money where their hearts were, the group raised the balance of the funds with private donations. I must be honest: I never really saw the beauty of Koons’ “Coloring Book 4,” aka Piglet. All we had was a
rendering to help the public visualize the piece in location on the arena’s plaza. To me, it looked like it was made of colored Plexiglass shapes sandwiched together. I’m pretty sure I had never seen a Koons original until early this year, when I saw his work at The Broad museum in Los Angeles. Its design and quality were very impressive. But given my high regard for the judgment of both Mark and Marcy Friedman in matters of art and
design, I was totally willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. When the Koons sculpture was unveiled in September, I immediately saw its appeal and why they were willing to go to such great efforts to make it happen. It is a remarkable and delightful piece, and the quality is gorgeous. Its mirror-polished stainless steel surface is rich with transparent color. The sculpture reflects the surrounding buildings, lights and people, lighting up with visual activity that quickly changes as one walks around the structure. Many locals in and out of the arts community were concerned that the arena’s entire public-art budget was going to a New York artist. Luckily, Marcy Friedman responded in a big way. The arts philanthropist put up an additional $1 million to fund local art for the project. I thought the panel’s selection of local artists Bryan Valenzuela and Gale Hart was inspired, given what I had seen of their previous work. Valenzuela’s work appeared on one of our covers last year, along with an artist profile. As part of the arts commission’s remarkable artist series, Valenzuela joined Hart for a discussion of their arena commissions. The event was held last month at Crocker Art Museum. Both artists joined in conversation with Shelly Willis, the director of the arts commission. Many people are surprised to learn that most public art is designed by artists but almost always fabricated by craftspeople working from plans created by the artist. Oftentimes, engineers are called in to help ensure PUBLISHER page 13

Cornucopia of Gladness SACRAMENTO WALDORF STUDENTS REFLECT ON WHAT THEY’RE THANKFUL FOR
S
o often the news is filled with gloomy and disgusting tales. To get our attention, the stories have to be quick and big, bold and powerfully shocking enough to keep us listening, reading or clicking the mouse for more, more, more. More bad news. More things to be disgusted about. Just where is the good news? The small, everyday and seemingly insignificant things in our midst that gently bathe our senses and make us happy to be alive right here in Sacramento with our friends, family and neighbors in our lives? Well, they say whatever you look for gets bigger. So I went to find some good news. And wow, look what happened! University of California, Davis, psychology professor Robbert Emmons, author of “Thanks: How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier,” has found that regularly practicing gratitude has a magic bullet effect on health and happiness. He found that people who make a habit of noticing and reflecting upon the things they’re thankful for experience more positive emotions, feel more alive,

PUBLISHER FROM page 11 the fabrication is structurally sound and safe. Though I am an appointed member of the arts commission and have participated on several art selection panels, I learned a great deal about the process and the artists themselves at the event. Valenzuela is known largely as a two-dimensional artist, working on large canvases and using intricate tiny lettering as part of his almost magical compositions of images derived from nature. After the panel selected him as the artist for the interior lobby of the building (based on his submitted portfolio of past work,) they were stunned and delighted when he submitted a design for 400 handblown blue-green glass globes, ranging from 12 to 20 inches in diameter, suspended from the ceiling in a sculpture called “Multitudes Converge,” echoing the theme of our two great rivers coming together. Valenzuela is 34 years old, and this was his first public art commission. What a gorgeous work he created!
(Remember, Maya Lin was selected at the age of 21 as the designer of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.) The artist had the globes hand-blown in a small town in the Czech Republic after discovering only three places in the world had the capability to fulfill his design vision—and all were in the same small town. He spent six weeks abroad this summer overseeing the glass fabrication, including the painstaking process of drilling holes in all the globes in order to slide metal rods inside to suspend them in the lobby. But he found the most challenging part to be the installation. Even the delivery of the crates with the glass needed to be carefully coordinated by the dock master who controlled all that went in and out of the downtown construction site on a 24/7 basis. Laboring under an unbelievably
tight deadline, he and his team often worked in the middle of the night to install the piece without being impeded by other contractors. Gale Hart’s work, located on L Street and on the south entrance
to the plaza, is equally compelling. The multiple-component sculpture, called “Missing the Mark,” takes a fun approach to the idea of PUBLISHER page 14

ARDEN FROM page 12 Every time you say “Thanks,” have you ever thought of what you truly are being thankful for? Even if it’s a simple thing such as someone picking up something that you dropped, we should appreciate that someone cares about us. I know everyone says that we should be thankful for shelter, food, family and all those things, and sure, we should. But I feel it’s more important to live in the moment. Notice the little things that people do not only for you, but for others as well. The point is not about always being “kind” and “considerate,” but just being aware of the good in and around us. To be honest, in our world, not many people are thankful and grateful. Yet, that doesn’t mean that we ignore all the small acts of kindness. As an eighth-grader, I understand that we don’t want to make the effort to have gratitude, but if we all work hand in hand, together we can make the world a better place. Shree Srikant, Grade 8 In all abundance, our outstretched arms embrace the changes. Forgive and forget. Tess Winfield, Grade 11 I am grateful for the Earth we walk upon and the cheese danish at Starbucks. Isabella Carmichael, Grade 5 I am very, very thankful for everything I have. I am thankful for my family because they have sent me to a good school and are always there for me. I am thankful for my friends because they are like an extended family. I am very thankful for everything on the Earth. Maia Hosler, Grade 5 I drew a tree because I believe a tree shows gratitude. Trees are often used to portray family. I am grateful for my family. They help me grow and also help me remember my roots. Lexi Colvin, Grade 11

Thankfulness is a feeling that comes out by an act of kindness. It is a way to repay a good deed. We sometimes find it hard to see the good side, especially when we’re not in a good mood. But we should try to see the kindness around us and try to do the same. Reethi Srikanth, Grade 4 We are grateful for all the positive energy around us. Patrick Ku, Grade 11 I am thankful for my best friend, Maren. She is the kindest, cutest and more sharing friend I’ve ever had. I hope we stay BFFAE’s (best friends forever and ever) for as long as life. Katie Janzen, Grade 5 I am grateful for all of my friends and classmates. I am grateful for a roof over my head and for my crazy family. Jaden Clark, Grade 7 I am thankful for animals and nature that provide air for us to breath and food for us to eat. Elijah Neuhaus, Grade 5 I am thankful for the sun that shines, for the days and nights, for the trees and flowers. It’s all the things we need for this world to be a great place. Angelique Noonis, Grade 5 I am thankful for my life, the life that is unfolding every day and the life that will always live in my heart. Marin Cooper, Grade 5 The public is invited to an open house from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5, at Sacramento Waldorf School, 3750 Bannister Road in Fair Oaks.

The first pieces you encounter on L Street are largerthan-life stainless steel and fiberglass darts in the sidewalk, near a terrazzo dartboard also set in the sidewalk. Next appear three raised concrete numbers and dart tails. When you turn the corner and walk up the plaza stairs, an 11-foot bronze-and-steel hand, holding more dart tails, sets the stage before you see the Koons piece displayed on the plaza level. Hart’s work presents a humorous take on the serious world of corporate sports. At the lecture, Hart became a delightful storyteller as she took the audience through the challenging process of creating her multipart work and working with numerous fabricators using multiple materials and processes. The fourth element of the arena’s public art is a sound sculpture called “Sonic Passages,” by San Franciscobased Bill Fontana. It extends on the north side of the plaza and features 19 small loudspeakers embedded in the “green wall” sections of the landscape planters. The sounds I heard were those of songbirds and nature, and they were delightfully intermittent. Also still to be installed are interior murals by the venerable Royal Chicano Air Force, a local Chicano art collective, founded in 1970 by José Montoya and Esteban Villa. This part of the project has been commissioned by the county of Sacramento. All in all, we have much to be proud of artistically at Golden 1 Center. The masterful architectural
and technological work of AECOM— in partnership with the Sacramento Kings—is the perfect backdrop for a terrific public-art showing we should all be very proud of.
INSIDE SACRAMENTO BOOK UPDATE It is with profound gratitude that I report we are nearing the last several hundred books that remain available from our first-edition print run of 7,000 copies of “Inside Sacramento: The Most Interesting Neighborhood Places in America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital.” We are grateful to Steve Mammett, the general manager of Embassy Suites hotel, for his leadership in helping us get the book placed into every top-tier hotel room in town. We had initially ordered in quantities we had estimated could supply books to sell throughout the 2016 holiday gift-buying season. (A reprint is not schedueld until later next year.) So if you had planned on giving the book for a holiday gift (it is the perfect gift!), I encourage you to do so immediately before it sells out. The book makes an excellent corporate gift; we have a bulk purchase program that includes custom labels. Books are available online with free shipping at insidesacbook.com and at local sellers detailed on our website. Cecily Hastings can be reached at publisher@insidepublications.com n

FOOD SAFETY RECOGNIZED Sacramento County celebrated National Food Safety Education Month in September and the Board of Supervisors honored several area businesses for their outstanding records practicing “safety first” in their kitchens.
SP By Susan Peters County Supervisor
The county’s Food Safety Awards are just a part of the Environmental Management Department’s nationally recognized food safety program. Our county was the first in nation to issue the green-yellow-red placards during food safety inspections that have become a model for other programs. EMD’s Environmental Health Division inspects approximately 5,000 restaurants, retail markets, bakeries, bars and schools for food safety compliance annually. Inspections are unannounced and completed up to three times a year. Each September, Awards of Excellence certificates are issued to food facilities that had no major violations noted during its three previous inspections, and in 2015 there were 526 facilities that earned a certificate. One of the many food establishments earning honors was SF Boudin in Loehmann's Plaza, a bistro and bakery I often frequent. If you want to find how your favorite restaurant and food facility scored on an inspection, reports are available at emdinspections. saccounty.net.
LUNCHEON FOCUSES ON BUSINESS
Sacramento County honored several area businesses for their outstanding “safety first” records in their kitchens including SF Boudin in Loehmann’s Plaza. Displaying the Award of Excellence with Supervisor Susan Peters is Boudin manager Jay Solis.
As the economic epicenter for the six-county region, Sacramento County plays a vital role in our area’s overall well-being and is the ideal place for businesses to locate, expand and thrive. Giving credence to that claim, Amazon’s Kelvin Downes will be the CONT. TO page 18

GET EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS With fire season upon us and winter months approaching, there is no better time to prepare for a disaster—events that often occur with little to no warning—by registering to receive notifications from the Sacramento County Office of Emergency Services, Go to Sacramento-Alert.org and register now before a disaster hits, so public safety officials can contact you via telephone call, text or email in the event of a disaster. Because California’s historic drought means an elevated wildfire danger and winter storms can pose threats to the many levees surrounding our urban core, events can occur rapidly, sometimes forcing evacuations, shelter-in-place orders and road closures. The regional mass-notification system is a critical link for you to immediately learn of required actions. The unique feature of the system is the ability to handle more than one contact method for residents, including cellphones, alternate numbers, texts, emails and even land lines. You choose the best notification method, or chose them all. You can also register multiple locations, such as your work address, your parent’s address or your children’s school, in order to get alerts about the places that mean the most to you.

PASTA FEED FOR YOUTH PROGRAMS On Saturday, Nov. 5, the fifth annual Arden-Arcade Community Pasta Feed will be held to raise funds benefitting youth programs provided by the Sheriff’s Community Impact Project (SCIP) and the Swanston Community Center, operated by the Mission Oaks Recreation and Park District. The fun starts with a social hour at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m. at the Mission Oaks Community Center at Gibbons Park, 4701 Gibbons Drive, in Carmichael. SCIP works to lessen negative influences facing many youths in the Arden Arcade community so as to avoid juvenile delinquency and gang involvement. While attendees will receive a delicious dinner, the true beneficiaries will be the area’s youngsters who are involved in SCIP-sponsored athletic programs and educational opportunities. For more information about SCIP and tickets to the pasta feed, go to sacscip.org.
VISITING WITH NEIGHBORS This fall has been a busy time visiting with residents.
Last month I concluded my series of “Office Hours” which I first started in 2005 and now hold as an annual tradition beginning in the spring and concluding in the fall. The latest one was at the “Movie in the Park” in Foothill Farms on Oct. 8 that featured the Disney film “Zootopia.” These no-appointment outings allow residents to chat with me about issues on a “first come basis” in a casual setting without the need to make an appointment to meet downtown at the County Administrative Center. After the holidays, I will be starting a new round for 2017. During October I also held community information meetings in both Arden Arcade and Carmichael on Measure B, the half-cent transportation sales tax on measure on the November ballot that is expected to raise $3.6 billion over 30 years to repave streets, repair aging roads and bridges, and fund new highway, connector and interchange projects as well as provide funding for Regional Transit. That measure is being sponsored by the Sacramento Transportation Authority, which was created in 1988 when voters first approved Measure A, which raised revenue for transportation capital improvements. Additional sales taxes generated under Measure B will focus on “Fix It First” programs placing emphasis
on road maintenance. For more information about Measure B, go to sacta.org. And I addressed participants at the annual “Business Walk” sponsored by the Sacramento Metro Chamber and Arden Arcade Business Council along with Sacramento County. Volunteers canvassed local businesses in Arden Arcade about the area’s economic climate. Past efforts provided valuable input that led Sacramento County to make infrastructure improvements on major commercial corridors, respond to code enforcement issues as well as address public safety concerns. This year’s results likewise will be analyzed and improvements applied where applicable. Lastly, I was a guest speaker last month at a morning meeting of the Point West Rotary Club, which boasts to be “the best damn Rotary Club on the planet.” This service club’s members do so much for our local community.
SEX OFFENDER ROUND-UP During August the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department’s Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement (SAFE) team, in partnership with the U.S. Marshals Service, conducted a fourday sex-offender-compliance operation targeting registered sex offenders who had restrictions for being in the presence of minor children in addition to locating sex offenders who were in violation of their sex-offenderregistration requirements or other laws. The effort also contributed to developing information regarding the whereabouts of sex offenders who had active warrants for their arrest. During the four-day operation, SAFE team members and marshals contacted 70 residences in Sacramento County where registered sex offenders reside. There were 29 arrests made during the operation. Five of the arrests were offenders that were in the presence of minors in violation of their conditions of probation or parole. The other arrests CONT. TO page 20

CALIFORNIA MARATHON SET DEC. 4 Thousands of runners are expected to be racing through our neighborhoods in the Third District on Sunday, Dec. 4, during the annual California International Marathon. The 26.2-mile trek begins at 7 a.m. in Folsom and concludes at the Capitol. This event attracts world-class competition. Several thousand outof-town visitors travel to the area to participate in or watch the marathon. This influx contributes to our local economy via renting lodging, dining in restaurants, retail sales, etc. Residents can come out and cheers the runners. Fair Oaks Boulevard is part of the route, so Fair Oaks, Carmichael and Arden Arcade residents south of that roadway may find themselves “land-locked” while the race is in progress due to street closure. These closures may cause some inconvenience, so please be cognizant of that when planning your morning activities. Residents can view specific

illuminated much of Midtown and downtown. Many of the city’s neon signs were built by Sacramento’s Pacific Neon Company. The Center for Sacramento History, an archive of Sacramento memorabilia, historical artifacts, documents and more, now houses more than 17 large neon signs from local businesses. The owners of the Sacramento Kings and Golden 1 Center decided to use some of those signs as historic art at the new downtown arena.
They picked six signs that once hung outside local businesses: Tower Records, Shakey’s Pizza, Coronet Portraits, Sleepers Stamp and Stationery, Franke’s Drugs and Fountain and Newbert Hardware. “It was a no-brainer to pick iconic businesses like Tower and Shakey’s,” says Veronica Kandl, a curator at the Center for Sacramento History. “We had to consider other factors when selecting signs, like size and how structurally sound they were.”
Pacific Neon, which has been building and installing commercial signs in Sacramento for 70 years, took on the challenge of fixing the signs, adding new wiring and transformers, replacing the blown glass and refilling the glass with gas. “We wanted the signs in working order but not completely restored,” says Kandl. “In the museum field, you don’t completely restore history. The patina of an old sign tells a story, and we wanted to retain that. These

signs do not look new. That’s how we wanted to show them in the arena.” For Pacific Neon, the job required a combination of craftsmanship, artistry and detective work. “We left the rust and the aged look for each sign,” says Ryan Drury, an account representative and a thirdgeneration member of the family that owns Pacific Neon. “It was an involved process that involved checking out every part of the sign.” Drury’s crew took the signs apart and cleaned them. They tried to salvage transformers and wiring, but in many cases they had to add new, high-voltage wiring. They repaired and replaced neon tubes. If sections were missing, they had to guesstimate the bends in the tubes from old photos. “It was an amazing experience,” says Drury. “These older signs are all unique. Many represent our history. Pacific Neon did all the Tower signs locally and throughout the world, so bringing the Tower neon signs back and to see them in the arena is a thrill for us.” Fixing neon is no easy task. Most commercial lighted signs now use LED lights, which are more efficient and cost effective. The old outdoor signs had taken a beating from the elements and from critters that had used them as their homes. Finding people who know the art of glass blowing and bending becomes more difficult every day. “We got a guy who knows neon,” said Drury. “He’s kind of the last
of his kind. He’s in his 50s and was interested in neon and learned how to blow glass from an old pro who taught him how. He’s very talented and knows the art form.” Pacific Neon doesn’t make many neon signs these days. But it still gets requests for neon. Drury says the company produces neon or neonlike signs for businesses like as Pizza Rock, Fox & Goose and Zelda’s Pizza. “Neon is a brilliant source of illumination and advertising,” he says. “These older signs are unique with cool colors and the drama of advertising as it used to be.” After repairing the signs, Drury and his team packed them up and shipped them to Golden 1 Center for installation just in time for the arena’s opening in early October. Kandl credits the owners of the Kings and the arena for paying for the repairs and restoration of the nostalgic signs and putting them on display. “It’s so nice to see them come to life,” she says. Drury agrees. “It’s been an amazing experience,” he says. “We gave life to these old signs. While the arena may be the most high-tech arena ever, these signs represent old-school Sacramento. You can’t help but notice them. While they aren’t my era, many in Sacramento will remember the names and iconic brands of the companies that made Sacramento home.”
We are thankful for you Sacramento. Thank you for making our city so special just by being You! Count your blessings instead of your crosses; Count your gains instead of your losses.

Kanoff, who rides her bike to almost all of her activities these days, regularly volunteers with Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates, a 25-year-old group that works to make bike riding safer and more convenient for regional residents. “I’d known about SABA since my son got very interested in biking as a kid and asked me to register his bike for him,” says Kanoff, who lives in East Sac. “I started volunteering with them two years ago, and the experience has been the most rewarding for me due to the wonderful, quality people.” Kanoff decided to use her bike as her primary form of transportation after retiring from her job at the state. “Now, I show up at dinner engagements on my bike with my helmet under my arm,” Kanoff says proudly. “Sacramento is also perfectly set up for

outdoor events. I’ve even biked to the state fair. I can bike to an event and get the benefits for both my brain and my body. And I don’t have to worry about parking.”
“I had biked to Pops in the Park and unwillingly parked my bike with the bike valet that SABA offers for free at lots of local events,”
Julie Kanoff
At one of those outdoor events, Kanoff had her first personal experience with SABA.
Kanoff recalls. “I was really freaked out about leaving my bike with them. But the kind man volunteering at the valet reassured me that they would watch it and that I should just go and have a good
time. I started getting emails from them after signing up at the concert and realized that they have events all around my neighborhood. I had such a good experience talking to the volunteer that day that I thought I’d like to give them some of my time.” As a SABA volunteer, Kanoff helps sets up the bike valet corral at events like farmers markets and concerts, trains new volunteers and helps at the bike barn, a repository of lost and stolen bicycles. She speaks with admiration of SABA’s executive director, Jim Brown, who shows bike owners how to properly lock up their property to avoid having their mount end up in the bike barn. Events with bike valets are generally fundraisers for worthy causes. “I believe that education and love are the only two things that can make any difference in this world,” says Kanoff. “Working with SABA has helped me see that I’m better serving the world and myself when I’m out helping others.” For more information about Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates, visit sacbike.org n

A Tribute to Harry H. Dewey FARMER’S HOMESTEAD IS A LINK TO PIONEER DAYS IN CARMICHAEL/FAIR OAKS
O
ne of the most successful farmers in Carmichael/Fair Oaks history died recently. Harry H. Dewey was 89 years old and descended from pioneers who settled near Winding Way in the 1870s. His death brings into focus the rich agricultural past of this area. Harry and his father, Harold, followed patriarch Harry J. Dewey in cultivating 200 acres of the old San Juan Land Grant. Earlier owned by the Heintz family, the land came to Dewey hands with Harry J. Dewey’s 1888 marriage to Bertha Heintz. The couple expanded grain and fruit operations to cover 4,400 acres, including leased parts of what is now Carmichael and Fair Oaks. Their remarkable success—an early harvest included 5,400 sacks of wheat—was achieved in horsepower days. Horses and mules took almost three hours to haul produce to market, passing only four houses en route for Sacramento. Animals also pulled plows; some Dewey furrows were a mile long. In barn-raising tradition, the pioneers shared equipment and labor. If a farmer finished harvesting early, he and sons headed off to help in neighbors’ fields. Always progressive, the Deweys purchased the area’s first combine harvester. The mule-drawn contraption caused a sensation but proved soon its worth among

later established almond orchards. As Harry H. Dewey would joke, the family has been “nuts ever since.” Harry Dewey Fundamental (named for the first Harry), Will Rogers Middle School and a fire station now occupy some of the family’s former acres. The rest of the Deweys’ Oak Lawn Farm is now suburbia. In its midst, the 1874 farmhouse remains in family hands. A visit reveals its enduring solidness: Window sills are 3 inches thick, and 16-inch wide redwood planks form the walls. Nails, hammered by the original Harry and Heintz in-laws, have square heads. Thanks to the 1911 addition of a columned verandah, the manse acquired grace that befitted the Deweys’ growing success and made the home an area showplace. Six generations have enjoyed the heritage oaks for which the ranch was named. Pre-urbanization, the second Harry’s daughter recalls her pastoral upbringing. “My brother and I were free-range, with 200 acres to roam in,” says Eileen Thomas. A strong work ethic typifies Bertha and Harry J. Dewey’s descendants. “My father considered himself a steward of the land,” Thomas affirms. “He was grounded. And then he learned to fly.” Harry H. Dewey’s long membership of Flying Farmers (an organization of pilot agriculturalists) was preceded by World War II service in the Navy. As a radio crewman, he formed a passion for aircraft. He later volunteered for flying organizations that assisted NEIGHBOR page 30

FROM page 28 in law enforcement and medical emergencies. His biggest flight of faith occurred in the 1960s. Farming urbanized Carmichael/Fair Oaks was by then unfeasible. Dewey and his wife, Jane, uprooted to establish commercial orchards in Yolo County. “The move was difficult for all of us,” explains Thomas. “The old farm had been our only home. But it was exciting for Dad. He’d always worked for his father and grandfather; in Yolo, he was on his own for the first time.” While his parents retired on a remnant of Oak Lawn Farm, son Harry prospered in pastures new. Dewey Farm almonds, pistachios and walnuts are still marketed all over Northern California. A community pillar, Harry H. Dewey provided leadership for his church, his Masonic lodge, the American Legion and the Yolo Fire District. The grower also served Yolo farming organizations. “Dad had a good mind; he was articulate and personable,” Thomas says. “He taught us all to have a sense of community and to work to make it a better place for everyone.” Even during declining health, his love for farming and flying remained intense. “Dad flew his plane until his 85th year,” Thomas says. “After that, he depended on fellow pilots to give him
a lift. Dad just loved being airborne. And he was always hard to keep off a tractor. Even a week before died, he was doing his best to get out to the orchard and prepare for harvest.”
“This house is a testament to people who worked hard and kept family strong and united.” Tomas and her family now occupy the 142-year-old Dewey homestead near Winding Way. Harry and Bertha’s dining room cabinet is still in daily use and seems good for many more Dewey descendants. “This house recalls our humble beginnings,” Thomas confirms. “Here I’m constantly reminded my father and his ancestors. This house is a testament to people who worked hard and kept family strong and united.” A memorial service for Harry H. Dewey was held in Woodland. He is survived by his wife, Jane; their son, Harry J. Dewey, and daughter, Eileen Thomas; plus five grandchildren and two great grandsons. Toddling in the arms of legendary grandfather Harry J. Dewey, little Harry was a farmer born. Photo courtesy of the Dewey family.

Pitch Perfect AT O’NEIL PARK, SOCCER IS ALWAYS IN PLAY
B
onney Field, home of the Sacramento Republic, is lovely to behold. But for history and atmosphere, the true football fanatic must make the pilgrimage to Broadway and 6th Street. That’s where O’Neil Park endures as the soul of Sacramento soccer. O’Neil Park is staging ground for the Central California Soccer League, which began as an informal arrangement of immigrant teams in 1947 led by Otto Massara, who learned the game as a child in his native Oleggio, Italy. Otto arrived in Sacramento in the 1920s, played for a team called Garibaldi, and helped charter the CCSL in 1958. Otto died in 1997 at age 92. Almost until the end, he served as the league’s president, which meant he could be found on Sunday mornings chalking lines at O’Neil Park. It’s never been a perfect pitch. A notorious manhole plate near midfield stubbornly resists camouflage. Countless ankles have been tweaked on O’Neil Park gopher holes, sprinklers and divots. But for generations of deeply bred soccer fans and players from Turlock to Chico, O’Neil Park is hallowed ground. And the CCSL is a genuine icon. The league has ridden the crests and crashes of soccer’s popularity, from the days of Pele and the New

York Cosmos to the Republic’s emergence as a hot local ticket. The CCSL has faltered and stumbled along the way, ranging from seven to 72 teams. But always, CCSL maintains its footing. As the league prepares for a new winter season with a dozen teams, the future is bright. “The quality of play is exceptionally high, and the pitch is in the best shape we’ve seen in years,” says Ali Radmand, the league’s newly installed president. “I’d like to find a way for the city to dedicate the field in honor of the CCSL, which now has fourthgeneration players using O’Neil Park.” Sunday was always soccer day at O’Neil Park, which was part of
Southside Park before the elevated section of Highway 50 came barreling through in the late 1960s. Today, shoppers at the Sunday farmers market beneath the freeway compete for parking spaces with soccer fans, but the crowds mingle and mix and make it work. A typical Sunday during summer and fall months would present five games at O’Neil Park, keeping the place hopping from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. The CCSL also schedules games on Friday night to accommodate teams whose religious commitments preclude playing soccer on Sunday. Religion and nationality have always held oversized roles in CCSL culture. Even today, when all teams
have ecumenical rosters and talent is more important than ethnic origin, sides still align with ancient roots. And they respect the openhearted attitude personified by Otto Massara, the Italian native who coached the Mexican Athletic Club’s Embassy Team. “Today, you’ll see Africans, Hispanics, Fiji Islanders and Europeans playing on various teams. It’s like one big family,” Radmand says. The soccer witnessed on Broadway can be exceptional, which is no accident. Several years ago, the CCSL was in trouble. It was losing teams to newer suburban leagues. It was beset

by weak officiating and poor field conditions. Leadership improved the officiating. Today, teams pay around $140 per game, primarily for experienced referees and linesmen. The league worked with the city to repair sprinklers and turf. A longstanding CCSL supporter, John Azevedo of Azevedo’s Landscape Maintenance, ensures the pitch’s high quality. After several exceptional teams drifted away to other leagues, the CCSL was re-energized when the defectors realized they couldn’t find competitive matches in the suburbs. “They might join a league in Roseville to cut down on their travel time, but they would win all their games and realize it wasn’t much fun just beating up on people. If they wanted supercompetitive games, they had to come back,” Radmand says. Former professional players highlight the rosters of several teams. And two youthful clubs, Real Sacramento and Puma, feature
18-year-old players in their physical, if not game-savvy, prime. A festive social atmosphere around Southside Park is another CCSL tradition. Admission for games is free. Teams share responsibility for organizing the food services, which produce culinary delights, with barbecue yielding to tacos, and tacos yielding back to barbecue. The CCSL has wrapped its top teams into a division called the Otto Massara Cup. It’s an appropriate distinction, honoring the man who helped introduce soccer to Sacramento, who nurtured a sport that became a fundamental experience for thousands of local children and made the Republic a viable business proposition. Otto Massara is still around, keeping an eye on O’Neil Park. Despite a potential red card from city authorities, who look down on this sort of thing, his ashes are scattered there. R.E.

3750 Bannister Road Fair Oaks, CA 95628, www.sacwaldorf.org In 1985, another opportunity arrived with the Kings, which was planning a franchise move from Kansas City to Sacramento and was looking for a “local” voice. For his audition tape, Gerould attended one Golden State home game and followed the Warriors to the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles, each time sitting in the “nosebleed section” doing play-by-play into a tape recorder. Gerould was told that Kings general manager Joe Axelson listened to the tapes as he drove from Kansas City to put down roots in Sacramento. “Kid, you were a hell of a lot better than you had a right to be, considering the situation,” Axelson told Gerould the day he was hired. Even though during 23 of those 31 seasons the Kings have owned a losing record, night after night Gerould retains his excitement for the game and his optimism for a Kings victory. “G-Man is the best,” marvels Jason Ross, who has sat by Gerould as both a statistician and announcing
partner for the past 15 years. “Even though the Kings continue to lose, he treats every game like it was his first one. Night after night, he starts the broadcast with enthusiasm and excitement.” The sporting venues have changed, but one thing that has remained a constant all these years is Gary Gerould. He walks around the arena on game day with an amiable smile and treats high-level people like Kings owner Vivek Ranadive the same way he does an usher he may have known for years. “Gary is so humble. There is no ego at all. He’s just a genuine person,” Ross says. “I have so much respect for him. He’s a fantastic broadcaster but an even better person.” Gerould is putting no timetable on his tenure with the Kings. The kid who walked the snowy streets of Midland pretending to announce basketball games still loves what he’s doing. When that stops, so will he.

What Lies Beneath IT’S IMPORTANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SOIL
U
nless we are growing root vegetables such as radishes or carrots, we tend to focus on what is above ground in our gardens. We think in terms of feeding plants when what we really need to do is build a healthy soil conducive to growth. The soil provides air, water and nutrients to a plant’s roots, but it can also be a source of problems. You need to dig beneath the surface, figuratively and literally, to evaluate the health of your plants. You may already have removed your summer vegetable garden. If you haven’t, pull up the plants and take a good look at the roots. They should be devoid of masses of white nodules that indicate root knot nematodes have invaded your planting area. Nematodes are bad news for many fruits and vegetables, although there are some resistant varieties. You can reduce nematode population by solarizing the soil in the summer, rotating crops or leaving soil fallow (unplanted) for a year or two Tomatoes should have deep root systems. If the roots haven’t penetrated very far, it could be that you didn’t loosen the root ball of the plant during planting, or the soil was too dry or compacted. Sometimes you will discover that the roots have rotted away and the soil is soggy just a few inches beneath the surface. You may simply be overwatering, or there may be an

impenetrable layer of hardpan under the surface. Most vegetables need regular water and good drainage. Drainage is an issue for most of the drought-tolerant plants suited to our Mediterranean climate. Many a salvia and lavender have rotted miserably away in my home garden’s dense silt-clay soil. They thrive in the Sacramento Historic City Cemetery’s well-drained sandy loam, where I’ve gardened for many years. At my house, if you fill a hole with water, it drains very slowly. In the cemetery, it empties in 30 minutes or less. It’s amazing how different the soil is just 5 miles apart. If you have poorly drained soil, improve its drainage by mixing in fine lava rock, known as
“lava fines,” and building mounds before planting. If you aren’t sure what kind of soil you have, get your hands dirty and feel it. Squeeze a handful of damp soil and form it into a ball. If it holds together, feels smooth and makes a 2-inch or longer ribbon when you rub it between your thumb and forefinger, it’s clay. If the soil feels gritty and makes a short ribbon or crumbles apart, it’s sandy. Many soils are a combination of both, along with silt and organic matter. The condition of all types of soil will benefit if you maintain layers of compost and mulch on its surface, feeding the underground organisms that enrich and aerate the soil. Replenish this
layer regularly because it rapidly decomposes. Most Sacramento soils are low in nitrogen and organic matter and are somewhat alkaline. Nitrogen is essential for plant growth but is water soluble and quickly runs through. You can analyze soil to see what nutrients are present and determine its pH (a measurement of acidity or alkalinity). Use a do-ityourself test kit, available online and in garden centers, or send a sample to a laboratory for more complete analysis and recommendations. With the test results, you can better determine what fertilizers and other amendments are needed for the plants you want to grow.

855 57th Street (Between J & H Streets) If an area will remain unplanted during the winter, many gardeners improve their soil by planting a cover crop of nitrogen-fixing plants, such as vetch, clover, fava beans or peas, in early fall. It’s a bit late in the season to start a cover crop, but Bill Maynard, Sacramento’s director of community gardens, recommends spreading a layer of compost, steer or chicken manure over your garden and covering it with a deep layer of leaves or straw. You can dig fruit and vegetable kitchen scraps into the soil underneath the leaves to add more organic matter, but bury them at least 6 inches deep to avoid attracting rodents. When it’s time for spring planting, the soil will be richer with very few weeds. For the best plants above the ground, make sure that the best soil lies beneath.

No on Measure B IT’S A SHORTSIGHTED APPROACH TO TRANSPORTATION FUNDING
T
he Sacramento Transportation Authority placed a questionable sales-tax measure on the November ballot. It calls for Sacramento County residents to tax themselves even more whenever they make a purchase. The new tax would be on top of the existing countywide sales tax devoted to transportation. Measure B would double the transportation tax rate and be imposed for 30 years. While sales taxes are convenient for government to collect, Measure B is decidedly bad tax policy. It’s even worse transportation policy, bad environmental policy and bad health policy. There are much smarter, fairer ways to raise and spend money for transportation. From the very start, the process that developed Measure B was flawed. The public was excluded as decisions were made by nonelected government staff and paid consultants. When the proposal developed behind closed doors was put before elected officials, those officials gave short shrift to public concerns about project priorities and their environmental impacts. In contrast, they paid very close attention to comments from developers and construction industry representatives, prime beneficiaries of the measure. Taxes hit people in the pocketbook, so any new tax must be carefully

crafted and spent wisely for the greatest good. Federal and state legislators have been derelict in their duty to adequately fund transportation. Gas taxes have been fixed on a per-gallon basis for decades, with no adjustment for the better mileage newer cars get or for the effects of inflation. But raising transportation funding through a local sales tax instead of a gas or mileage tax is not the right way to go. It’s unfair and regressive. Those who use the roads the most should pay more for new road projects and maintenance. Everyone pays sales taxes, whether they drive or not. The poor pay proportionately more, even though they drive less. Yet the biggest problem with Measure B is not the taxation method but how the money will be used. Wellthought-out regional transportation plans call for any new transportation revenue to be used exclusively for road maintenance and transit maintenance and operations—known as a “fix-it-first” approach. There is nothing inherently wrong with that approach. Unfortunately, the proposed work in Measure B is not limited to fixit-first projects. It includes hugely expensive road and transit projects, such as the Southeast Connector and extensions of light rail to Elk Grove and the airport. These projects are sprawl inducing and sprawl supportive. Over the long term, the road capacity projects will induce more people to drive. They won’t, as the measure claims, result in congestion relief. Instead, they will cause more congestion grief. We need transit that provides frequent and
fast service, not a system that ensures poor service by diluting it over a large area.
Unfortunately, the proposed work in Measure B is not limited to fix-it-first projects. It includes hugely expensive road and transit projects, such as extensions of light rail to Elk Grove and the airport.
The 30-year life of Measure B is hugely problematic. Because of emerging self-driving technology, we are on the cusp of a revolution in transportation. It is not clear how this future will play out, but
• Drought Tolerant Landscapes • Consultations • Sprinklers & Drainage
we should anticipate dramatic changes. These changes will come soon, perhaps within five years. They certainly will materialize within the 30-year life of Measure B. Driverless cars are already on the streets in Pittsburgh and Singapore. There is fierce competition to develop and mature self-driving technology. Consortiums of automakers, tech companies such as Google and Apple, and transportation service providers such as Uber and Lyft have hired thousands of employees and are investing billions of dollars to alter fundamentally the way we get around. While the automotive and tech industries recognize that transportation is going to be transformed, Measure B doesn’t. It locks in 30 years’ worth of spending based on today’s transportation model, not a future system that will be radically different. It’s simply not flexible or visionary enough. Measure B’s business-asusual approach will not improve neighborhood livability or quality of life. In fact, increased traffic will

Transportation is the economic sector that creates 40 percent of the greenhouse gases that causes global warming. Measure B doesn’t change the existing fossil-fuel-burning transportation paradigm. Measure B’s promotional materials promise to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety, but there is absolutely no certainty it will deliver on that promise. The measure makes using funds for cost-effective, healthy pedestrian and bicycle projects optional, not obligatory. Further, the increased traffic from road capacity projects will make pedestrians and bicyclists less safe, not more. We need taxes that are fairly raised and wisely spent. We need a transportation system that doesn’t hurt neighborhoods or the environment and helps make our citizens healthier, not sicker. Measure B fails as a fair tax measure and fails to deliver the best transportation system. Not only can we do better; we must do better. Vote No!

Support Measure B WHY SUPERVISOR PETERS BACKS TRANSPORTATION SALES TAX MEASURE
O
n Election Day we will be making important decisions regarding the leadership of our nation as well as on issues affecting California and our local area, including Measure B, the half-cent transportation sales tax measure. Generally, I am not an advocate for more taxes, but I am supporting Measure B because it is the most practical way to address Sacramento County’s serious road maintenance problem. The purpose of this article is to explain how I came to that conclusion, which you may find helpful in making your own decision. Sacramento County is responsible for approximately 5,500-plus lane miles of roadway. Our Department of Transportation (SACDOT) says the overall average condition of those roads is “fair” trending toward “poor,” and if you drive our roads you will probably lean more to the poor category as you try to dodge potholes. Measure B is expected to raise $3.6 billion over 30 years, and most importantly it will require 75 percent of the funds generated in the first five years to address maintenance issues—“Fix It First”—that that will resurface and make our neighborhood streets and local roads smoother and safer for motorists as well as for bicyclists and pedestrians.
SP By Susan Peters County Supervisor
44
IA NOV n 16
The proposal is being sponsored by the Sacramento Transportation Authority, created in 1988 when Sacramento County’s voters approved an earlier transportation sales tax: Measure A, which was subsequently renewed in 2004. SACDOT estimates our maintenance backlog is $450 million. Currently the county has about $8.5 million annually at our disposal for street repair and resurfacing work. Those limited resources exacerbate the maintenance problem because we are not able to keep up with needed repairs, so roadway conditions continue to decline. In fact, the longer it takes to do the necessary repairs, the more it costs to do those repairs. Under Measure B the unincorporated area for Sacramento County alone is expected to average $34 million per year during the first five years that we can use to fix our roads and more than $900 million total during the life of the measure! Measure B will also fund essential countywide transportation projects, including fixing the Capital City Freeway bottleneck plus other highway, connector and interchange projects. It also will improve service, safety and security on Regional Transit’s light-rail and buses. And for those who argue more money should be spent on transit, remember the majority of RT’s service is provided by buses that use our roads. Property taxes do not pay for road repairs. The primary funding sources for street maintenance are the gas tax and some federal grants (also generated from taxes on gas that are
sent to the federal government and come back to the region as grants). Unfortunately, those revenue sources for local government continue to decrease due to state and federal cutbacks, plus gas taxes are declining as motorists buy less gas for a variety of reasons.
Generally, I am not an advocate for more taxes, but I am supporting Measure B because it is the most practical way to address Sacramento County’s serious road maintenance problem. Waiting for the state of California or the federal government to help fund road maintenance is not the answer. Sacramento County is not unique in asking voters to self-fund transportation improvements. Of the 58 counties of California, 19 local transportation agencies all receive voter-supported funding to better their infrastructure. This year Gov. Jerry Brown called a special legislative session on transportation infrastructure funding. There were discussions about improving state highways that
also have a maintenance deficit, but no meaningful results occurred to help local government. If you have driven on the newly paved sections of Eastern, El Camino and Marconi avenues, you know the difference between new pavement and a patched pothole street. The poor conditions of our roadways impact our quality of life as well as have economic consequences on the movement of goods and products in our transportation system. Furthermore, poor roads can discourage private investment and job growth. That is why the Greater Sacramento Area Economic Council, among other business organizations, supports Measure B. Filling potholes is no substitute for paving, and I do not want to see the roads in the unincorporated area to further deteriorate nor our maintenance backlog to continue to grow. Measure B ensures local funding for local maintenance fixes, and to ensure those funds are spent properly, a citizen oversight committee will perform annual audits of the expenditure plan. The above reasoning led me to conclude Measure B is the most practical way to address our road maintenance challenge. The alternative is to maintain the status quo and be resigned to a deteriorating transportation network. Susan Peters represents the Third District on the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors.

Calling in Sick LIFE LESSONS FROM A MISGUIDED DAY OFF
W
ho hasn’t feigned illness to take a day off from work? This was my question as I called the Baylor University bookstore one Friday morning in the fall of 1978. When my manager picked up the line, I winked knowingly at my new girlfriend sitting beside me. “I’m not feeling well today.” Cough, cough. “I can’t come in until Monday.” “Then you’re fired!” he said. I wasn’t expecting the finality in his answer. I could hear a pulse in my ears. “Don’t come back,” he added before slamming down the phone receiver. My face flushed and my eyes suddenly felt overhydrated. I was having a grief reaction, anticipating the loss of the prestige I’d enjoyed interacting with university professors and freshman co-eds. How had I miscalculated this scenario? Was my boss aware of the love-struck hormonal illness with which I was afflicted? How would I afford to take my girlfriend to the backto-school dance? I had to make this right for many reasons. The bookstore was the center of university life, and I didn’t want to be dodging my boss for the next year. I needed to apologize. How does one apologize for such bald-faced lying? First, it’s always good to allow a cool-down period. I waited a few weeks

for the back-to-school rush to and called for an appointment. Once inside the manager’s office, I kept it simple. I admitted that I hadn’t been sick. Plain and guileless. “I’m sorry for lying.” I didn’t excuse my action or bring my girlfriend into the picture. Second, I expressed understanding for his situation. I admitted that I had abandoned my colleagues, causing them to be shorthanded at the store’s busiest time of the year. Third, I asked for forgiveness. He granted that.
Finally, I think I surprised him when I asked his help to clarify the lessons I needed to learn. That question brought his deepest thought. “Who is it you want to be?” he asked. “Pardon me?” “Well, I know you’re a ministerial student, so I know what you want to be. But beyond that, who do you want be?” I thought I got his drift, but I wasn’t entirely sure. “I think above all,” he said, “you want to be a person who people trust.
I think you want to be a person who keeps his word.” “I see three lessons,” he continued. “First, don’t lie. Lying shows you don’t believe you’re capable of being who you want to be. Don’t sell yourself short. I know you are capable of being who you want to be.” “Second, if I’m not mistaken, Jesus said, ‘Let your yes be yes and your no, no. Whatever is more than these is from the evil one.’” In other words, my ex-boss was telling me to be sure of what I want before I commit to something. And when I do commit, I should keep my word. “Third.” He cleared his throat, trying to remember his third point. He gave up on that. “Just remember those two for now. Don’t lie and keep your word.” The bookstore manager was OK in my book—even if he didn’t give me my old job back. Fortunately, he gave me a good reference for a better-paying job as a night watchman in a local bank. Good thing, too. I could afford to take the girl to the dance. Unfortunately, I can’t dance, and she broke up with me. Happily, I met and married my wife after that. But that’s a story for another day. Norris Burkes is a chaplain, national speaker and author.

Clean Water PROJECT IS AIMED AT REMOVING THE YUCK
A
s I described in my last two articles, wastewater in the Sacramento region is processed at Regional San’s massive treatment plant in Elk Grove. Every day, an average of 150 million gallons of raw sewage is processed into an “effluent” that gets discharged into the Sacramento River. Local residents might ask: Is that processed wastewater clean enough? There are lots of different ways to define “clean,” and some definitions are laid out by the government in discharge permits. Regional San’s discharge permit is issued by the state of California in accordance with state and federal law (such as the Clean Water Act) and must be renewed every five years. Contrary to what I expected, the standards for effluent are not the same for every wastewater treatment facility. Instead, specific water-quality standards depend on the beneficial uses of the water into which the effluent is discharged. The Sacramento River is a treasured local resource. It’s used for agriculture, recreation and as a source of drinking water for other parts of California. Therefore, the standards in Regional San’s discharge permit are quite high, much higher than at facilities that discharge into, for example, the Pacific Ocean.
AR By Dr. Amy Rogers Science in the Neighborhood

IA NOV n 16
To ensure that the standards are met, a state-certified testing lab is on site at the treatment plant. The lab employs biologists, chemists and analysts who perform about 60,000 tests per year, looking at everything from pH and phosphates to organic substances. Every day, the lab tests the plant’s effluent for coliform bacteria, ammonia and suspended solids. The lab also tests for trace amounts of metals and organics in special positive-pressure rooms designed to prevent contamination. Fluorescent lights are even banned in one room because such lights contain mercury. At the miniscule levels being studied, this can affect the test results.
In addition to testing for specific chemicals in the water, the lab performs bioassays to see if the water affects the survival, growth and reproduction of river organisms. In one bioassay, tiny rainbow trout (less than 1 month old) are placed in tanks of effluent from the plant for four days, and survival rates are measured. Regional San’s permit requires that at least 70 percent of the fish be able to survive in effluent water. By some measures, Regional San’s effluent is cleaner than the river water it joins. It’s less turbid and has fewer bacteria. By other measures, the effluent is a pollutant. In particular, treated wastewater carries nitrogen-containing compounds such as ammonia. Ammonia can be directly
toxic to fish. It also acts as a fertilizer to promote the growth of algae and bacteria. Overgrowth by these microorganisms depletes oxygen from the water, causing further harm to the ecosystem. That’s about to change. When Regional San’s discharge permit came up for renewal in 2010, stringent new requirements were added to protect the river and the Delta, whose fragile ecosystem receives flows from the Sacramento. By 2021, the plant must add a tertiary treatment process that will reduce its ammonia discharge by nearly 95 percent. Also, by 2023, it will further reduce disease-causing microorganisms (especially viruses) by adding a step that filters the effluent through sand and anthracite coal. Together, these mandatory improvements are called the EchoWater Project. These improvements don’t come cheap. With a budget of about $2 billion, EchoWater is one of the largest public-works projects in the region’s history. It’s a massive operation that began with construction of a miniature-version pilot plant that ran for about two years to test technologies and systems. Construction of the full-size facility is well underway, currently under budget and on schedule. To pay for EchoWater, Regional San is gradually raising customer rates. Currently, $12.50 per month of a single-family residential bill goes to fund EchoWater. This amount will increase slightly by 2020. Fortunately, these numbers are well below original estimates. EchoWater will advance our region’s treated wastewater.

But things like phosphorus, pharmaceuticals and pyrethroids (insecticides) still can pass through the wastewater treatment process. Public education programs encourage people to keep these constituents out of the waste stream in the first place. In case they’re required to treat for chemicals like these in the future, Regional San engineers designed EchoWater with room for additional treatment technologies. In the meantime, one way to keep pharmaceuticals out of our waterways
is for all of us to properly dispose of unused drugs at a local collection bin or hazardous waste facility. I asked Ruben Robles, Regional San’s director of operations, for the one thing he most wanted to tell people. “Don’t flush or dump your unused meds down the drain,” he said. “They’ll end up in the river, and no one wants that.” Amy Rogers can be reached at Amy@AmyRogers.com.

Driving Jobs Away AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES WILL CHANGE THE WORKFORCE
S
elf-driving vehicles are on the road now. At least a dozen major corporations are engaged in an intense, high-stakes competition to dominate the markets for selfdriving cars and trucks. Ford CEO Mark Fields says the company will produce cars without steering wheels or gas and brake pedals by 2021. Lyft president John Zimmer recently said that by 2021, “a majority” of rides on its ride-hailing network will be in self-driving cars and that by 2025, personal car ownership will be over. Some industry analysts believe these forecasts are overly optimistic. There are technical issues with nonhumans handling roads covered in snow and ice or interpreting a police officer’s hand signals. Bureaucratic issues surround liability, insurance and vehicle certification. Consumers have to be willing to turn over their safety to software that may not be perfect, even if it likely will operate more safely than a human. Yet overall, it is very clear self-driving vehicles are on their way, even if the exact arrival date is uncertain. The advent of completely autonomous vehicles is going to revolutionize how we get around. It’s also going to bring seismic changes in employment. Millions of jobs in the United States will be eliminated or transformed.

There are 3.5 million truck drivers in the United States. Long-haul drivers move the goods that we need. They represent a significant part of the middle-class, blue-collar workforce. Their wages represent a third of freight costs. Despite the long hours they put in, drivers need to sleep, take vacations and receive health care benefits. Those limitations disappear with trucks that can operate without a driver. Selfdriving truck startup Otto, recently purchased by Uber, expects to have a $30,000 kit that will allow trucks to operate autonomously. Freeways are one of the simplest environments for self-driving software to manage. It is easier for
artificial intelligence to deal with the variables of freeway driving—speed, lane position and safe separation from other vehicles—than urban driving, which has many complex variables. City streets have pedestrians, bicyclists, parked cars, stop signs, traffic signals, tight turns and varying speed limits. While Otto says its trucks will still need drivers to handle tasks such as loading, unloading, paperwork and refueling, it’s pretty easy to foresee a future that has drivers sleeping in trucks that are on the road essentially 24/7. The driver would be available to handle the few nonautomated responsibilities. Or imagine a system in which completely autonomous
trucks operate between big-city transfer stations where local drivers hook up and deliver loads to the final destination. Truckers would not be the only drivers affected. Uber alone has more than 600,000 drivers in the United States. Lyft, other ride-hailing firms and taxi companies have many thousands more. There’s little loyalty between Uber and its drivers, whom it considers independent contractors. And there’s a tremendous incentive for Uber and others to remove expensive labor—their drivers—as a cost factor in their operations. While many Uber and Lyft drivers work part time, they still generate income. Those jobs and that money are not likely to last much longer. Buses could also be automated. That includes Paratransit, corporate employee shuttles and school buses. Fare collection and security on public transit would have to be addressed and resolved. A school bus might be too anarchic an environment to have without the steadying influence and adult supervision of a driver. For local delivery trucks, such as UPS or FedEx, to go driverless, there would have to be a method to move packages from truck to door. It’s possible drones could do this, but someone, at least in the near term, would have to load the drones. A dedicated loader, with no driving responsibilities, perhaps could do that as the truck trolls the street. Municipalities could use driverless trucks to pick up garbage, recyclables and green waste.

All told, 5 million or more Americans who drive for a living or work in a related field will need to find other employment. It won’t be just drivers who are affected. Driverless vehicles will influence employment at truck stops, hotels, restaurants, car dealerships, insurance companies, car washes, repair shops and more. Estimates range from 3 to 12 percent of the workforce. A Los Angeles Times op-ed suggests workers “will need help beyond traditional unemployment insurance. Perhaps they should receive adjustment assistance just like factory workers who lost jobs because of imports.” As a society, we will have to figure out all the consequences of this coming transition to make it as smooth as possible.

Coming Extractions A DOUBLE DOSE OF DENTAL WORK TAKES A BIG BITE OUT OF HOLIDAY FUN
W
hat does a vegetarian do for a holiday that is focused around eating meat? She gets her wisdom teeth taken out. I’m trying to suspend the feeling of poetic justice that my 15-year-old daughter, Whitney, will need to get her crowning wisdom teeth pulled over the Thanksgiving holiday. Ever since she declared she was going vegetarian two years ago, it has been a struggle to accommodate her lifestyle in a house where tritip is king. Especially when she doesn’t like most sources of non-meat proteins. Between my vegetarian daughter and my picky-eater son, they sure as heck have taken the fun out of cooking. So having your Thanksgiving feast reduced to mashed potatoes and Jell-O salad because your teeth are making your life difficult? Substitute “Thanksgiving feast” with “healthy, well-rounded dinners” and “teeth” for “teenagers” and you can see why Momma is trying not to laugh. Having to spend a week recovering from a four-tooth extraction is no laughing matter, though. Normally, it

would seem like a perfect opportunity for Whitney’s older brother, Logan, to heckle her for a ruined Thanksgiving break (as older brothers are pretty much required to do). However, Logan is
next in line. With his wisdom teeth also crowning, he’s scheduled over Christmas break to get his extraction done. The day before New Year’s Eve. It was an easy choice for Whitney to sacrifice Thanksgiving Day over New Year’s Eve for an uncrowded smile. And Logan was OK sacrificing his New Year’s celebration because, as he has always done, he is sending his sister to the front lines first to make sure it is safe. The kid also
thinks 24 hours after his surgery he’ll still be ready to party. Again, Momma is trying not to laugh. What is
not funny is the cost of having two teenagers get their wisdom teeth removed within a month of each other and during the holiday shopping season! We were still all high-fiving each other around here for winning the genetic lottery with neither of our kids needing braces. We took a trip to New York and a trip to Hawaii in celebration of the money we saved not having to shell out for orthodontia. Guess who’s wishing they had sprung for dental insurance now? All our friends who are finally getting to see their kids’ metal-free teeth for
the first time in years are laughing, saying, “You can run, but you can’t hide!” All said the Wheeler family is taking a bit of hit this holiday season. Whit goes down first, sacrificing her Thanksgiving break and a holiday feast. Mom gets pulled in playing triage and recovery nurse on top of hosting Thanksgiving this year. Next is Logan trying to cram all his Christmas break fun in the first week in case he’s not as tough as he thinks he is for the second week. Mom will again be pulled into active rest and recovery duty and probably crisis management when Logan realizes he’s sacrificed a prime party opportunity. (Something his sister, as she has always done, had the foresight to recognize and why she really offered to go first.) And then there’s Dad, who will be stuck paying the orthopedic surgeon’s bill right when the holiday shopping bills come due. But on the bright side: We’ve got two chances to laugh and hit viral gold by filming our kids coming off anesthesia! High-fives all around.

He did not charge us for that visit because he was unable to Àx the problem! The following Monday we received a call from Russ saying he had found a system that he thought would Àt and he could come the next day to install. Well, he came the next day, the system did NOT Àt and he had to return it but did Ànd one that eventually did! The operative word here is eventually. Russ was at our home all day!

Merry Kerrie LOCAL DESIGNER’S HOME FEATURED ON CHRISTMAS TOUR

hen the organizers of the Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour approached Kerrie Kelly and her husband, Vinny Catalano, about including their East Sac home on the upcoming tour, they weren’t expecting a positive response. So they were delighted when the couple said yes. During the holidays, Kelly and her design team at Kerrie Kelly Design Lab usually spend their time and creative energy decorating other people’s homes for the holidays. “So mine never gets done,” she says. But her husband pushed for a change in their routine. “He said, ‘Let’s do the tour. I want a Christmas tree this year,’” she explains.
“
WE WANTED TO CREATE A MEMORY ALONG WITH A SENSE OF HOSPITALITY.
When Kelly and Catalano moved into their 1927 bungalow in 2010, they revamped the three bathrooms, painted the interior and added bookcases, trim and molding throughout. A new outdoor kitchen extended their entertaining area. Tour goers will get a hint of what’s inside when they catch a glimpse of the couple’s newly refurbished 1986 Wagoneer with wood trim parked in the driveway. The seats were reupholstered with leather and Black Watch tartan fabric. Plaid-on-plaid blankets will fill the trunk. A Christmas tree on top will evoke the holiday spirit.
”
The front porch’s banisters will be draped with vintage lights in primary colors. Pillows tucked into red Adirondack chairs announce Kelly’s decorating theme: Welcome to East Sacramento. Relles Florist will supply florals for the house, including red roses, magnolias and eucalyptus. “There will be nothing cute or tricky about this,” Kelly says. “It is just about celebrating the holidays.” Kelly’s previous work with Ralph Lauren is evident throughout her polished, preppy home. The decorating scheme will

incorporate equestrian touches such as horse ribbons and lots of plaid. “Layering plaid on plaid is the new black this holiday season,” she says. Kelly plans to switch out some of her fabrics and draperies for the tour. A few pieces of furniture from Kelly’s new company, 42nd Street, will be integrated into the design. “We have a lot of new products to share,” she says. Five chefs will offer treats from Kelly’s kitchen. Coffee, cider, nibbles hot off the Wolf cook top and holiday cookies provided by Sweet Celebrations are just a few of the goodies that will be on offer. “People get hungry,” Kelly explains. “Some have even tried to eat the fake foods that have been put out on home tours.” Both the backyard and porch will be decorated. The garage will morph into a pop-up shop offering for sale many of the items seen throughout Kelly’s home. All proceeds from the sale will go to Sacred Heart School. Kelly notes her home is small.

“I am an exercise in small-space living,” she explains. The short tour route through her home puts a special emphasis on seizing tour participants’ attention quickly and exciting their senses. “For many people, going on the home tour is a tradition and getting ideas for their home along the way,” she says. “We wanted to create a memory along with a sense of hospitality.” The 43rd annual Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour will take place Friday, Dec. 2, Saturday, Dec. 3 and Sunday, Dec. 4. Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 on the days of the tour. For more information, go to sacredhearthometour.com.

his holiday season, there’s plenty of local flavor to add to your table. Several Sacramentobased products are taking the foodand-beverage scene by storm—some regionally, some across the country. Jason Poole’s Midtown-based Preservation & co., established in 2011, is best known for its awardwinning Bloody Mary mix, which took home a silver medal in a national competition sponsored by Absolut Vodka in 2012. Poole uses local ingredients, including tomatoes, to make the spicy mix. It comes in a 1-gallon jug, perfect for parties. As Sacramento cools down, fresh celery from the farmers market makes an ideal garnish for the drink. Preservation & co. sells a variety of cocktail mixes, including blackberry margarita mix, at its Midtown store (1717 19th St.). It also sells jarred pickles, balsamic beet slices, cayenne carrot sticks and hickory Brussels sprouts. Sacramentan Payam Fardanesh missed the Persian vinegar-based fruit drinks he grew up with, so he decided to re-create and bottle them.

The refreshing sodas were featured in O, The Oprah Magazine and are sold are around the country. Locally, they’re available at Raley’s, Corti Brothers, Nugget Markets, Whole Foods and BevMo. Bailarin Cellars was founded by a group of Sacramento locals, including Chris and Amanda Ryan and Ali Zamanian. Their wines have won awards: Bailarin Cellars received a gold medal in the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition for its 2014 Bailarin Suacci Vineyard Pinot Noir, and Bailarin got a nod from Wine Enthusiast as a “new producer worth knowing.”

The tasting room is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 4 to 7 p.m. Sacramento food writer Garrett McCord teamed up with local food photographer Callista Polhemus to create an e-book that celebrates our city’s farm-to-glass beverage scene. The pair wanted to highlight Sacramento’s bartenders, who are as innovative as our region’s quality chefs. McCord and Polhemus spent a year tasting, photographing and documenting 26 recipes from the region’s top professional distillers, bartenders, chefs and brewers.
McCord describes the book as “a collection of profiles of epic Sacramento bartenders, their stories and the cocktails that they feel define them best.” Their book can be downloaded from foodliteracycenter.org with a $10 dollar donation to the charity. Chocolate Fish Coffee offers nitro coffee on tap. Made with cold-brewed coffee infused with nitrogen, the drink has the mouthfeel of beer and the perk of your favorite morning caffeinated beverage.

life in a subconscious way,” and that everyone has some creative thing to express. “We all have something. It’s a matter of whether we want to be open to it.” Riegel is dedicated to guiding others through the creative process and hosts workshops at her Granite Bay Studio. “At first I taught kids, but then their parents wanted to make art too.” So she added workshops for adults in 2006. Riegel is an attentive listener and workshop leader who offers a range of creative experiences from printmaking to copper enameling to mobile making. No matter what the medium, Riegel says the workshops are about connecting with creativity, which she believes involves being in the moment and letting the process happen without worrying too much about what’s next or the outcome. She says many people view the workshops as a retreat where they can unwind and let go. “In life we always get caught up with what’s next. There is really nothing that compares to being in the zone and fully immersed in the act of creativity. It’s a feeling of full involvement and energized focus.”
don’t know what I’m doing,” says Susan Tonkin Riegel. But she says it with the conviction of a lifelong artist. Inside of her spacious studio is a procession of work: canvases, assemblage, encaustic, works on paper and new pieces incorporating plaster, wood and cardboard. Her art is symbolic and colorful with a hint of mystery and intrigue. “I let the piece and the materials guide me,” she says. “It’s an intuitive process.”
“The window painting was one the most fun jobs.” Riegel is excited about the combination of color and materials and just starts working, letting the process evolve. The trick, she says, is to stop before the piece is overworked. “It’s better to keep work slightly unfinished and fresh.” Over the course of teaching art for 25 years at Sierra and American River Colleges, she says this was a difficult concept for students. She advised students to pay attention to how they felt about the work—to notice their gut or heart

reaction and not intellectualize the process too much. She retired from Sierra College last fall and expects the change in routine to register in her work as she prepares for a November show at Artspace

“There is really nothing that compares to being in the zone and fully immersed in the act of creativity.”
The creative process hooked her in second grade, when she made a papier mache solar system and painted it. While she has always had the desire to draw and make art, she never thought she was as good as other people at drawing or painting. This changed once she went to UC Berkeley and studied with noted Bay Area figurative painters Joan Brown and Elmer Bischoff. “Joan Brown encouraged my strange compositions and the way I drew people and told me I was a good artist.” Bischoff was a big influence, too. Riegel describes him as a quiet man who didn’t say much, but when he did, it was profound. “Bischoff always told me to keep the practice going and also to go it alone and not worry what my friends were doing artwise, and listen to my own artistic voice.” It was not a direct route to UC Berkeley for Riegel. She grew up in Sacramento and went to C.K. McClatchy High School, attended University of the Pacific and then UCLA. “I was searching. My parents were divorcing and it was a chaotic time,” she recalls. She took a year off to travel and worked for six months on a kibbutz in Israel, lived on a Greek island for three months and visited France and Italy. Upon her return, her mother persuaded her to go to UC Berkeley and finish college. “I think that was the only time I followed her advice,” she says. She worked at a variety of jobs including office work and waitressing in Berkeley, framing, art sales, color
consulting and painting holiday windows in Sacramento and Berkeley. “The window painting was one the most fun jobs,” she says. “It was good money in a short amount of time, and I could paint Santas and angels on windows and also learn the art of business and how to deal with executives.” Soon after her children were born, she started looking for teaching jobs, first teaching at Learning Exchange and then Sierra College and American River College. Her two children are grown now, and she continues to work alongside her husband of 32 years, sculptor Mike Riegel, whose studio is adjacent to hers.

Whether you’re a fan of the classics or like your music a little more fab (as in the Fab Four), don’t miss the Sacramento Philharmonic and Orchestra’s November offerings. “The Pines of Rome” will feature dramatic moments from Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Forza del destino,” “Otello” and “Un ballo in maschera,” Pietro Mascagni’s “Intermezzo from Cavalleria rusticana,” Giacomo Puccini’s “La Boheme Act I Finale,” Gioachino Rossini’s “Semiramide” and, of course, Ottorino Respighi’s “The Pines of Rome.” Christoph Campestrini will conduct guest singers Katherine Whyte, soprano; and Adam Luther, tenor. If you’re giddy for some groovy tunes, hop on board the “Classical Mystery Tour” featuring a full Beatles cover band (members of the original cast of Broadway’s “Beatlemania!”) under the baton of guest conductor Martin Herman.
¡Hola, Ingrid! “Hola Baja: the texture of the place, the heartbeat of its people,” a solo photography show featuring work by Ingrid Lundquist Nov. 9 through Dec. 3 Artist’s reception on Friday, Nov. 11, from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Public reception on Saturday, Nov. 12, from 5-9 p.m. Viewpoint Photographic Art Center, 2015 J St. 441-2341, viewpointgallery.org
Photographer Ingrid Lundquist explains her first solo photography show best: “Saying ‘hola’ (‘greetings’ in Spanish) causes your face muscles to move upward in an openly welcoming manner. ‘Baja’ is the land of the beating sun where dust clings to your body like a cheap price sticker and the colors vibrate to distract you from the surrounding hardships.” Lundquist shoots candid images of people and ordinary objects in their natural environment, lending her images a photojournalistic quality that makes the viewer

beg for more. Since her artistic rebirth (as a certified special event professional, Lundquist designed huge temporary installations until she returned to her first love, art, in 2011), her photos have won several awards and been included in more than 50 juried shows in New York, Vermont, Texas, Oregon, California, Florence and London.
Hi, Ho, Silver! Auction of the California silver collection of Edwin Iloff presented by Witherell’s Auction begins Friday, Nov. 4, at 10 a.m. Auction preview on Thursday, Nov. 3, from 1-7 p.m. Witherell’s Annex, 1925 C St. 446-6490, witherells.com
More than 400 lots of impressive silver pieces dating from the mid-19th to early 20th century will be sold to help fund science endowments that the late physics professor Edwin Iloff established at California State University, Sacramento. “I hope this exhibit and auction will inspire others to explore the artistic and historic merits of this distinct California art form,” Witherell’s chief executive officer and PBS’s “Antiques Roadshow” appraiser Brian Witherell says. To wit, the Crocker Art Museum called the original 1,000-piece collection the most comprehensive California silver ever assembled. Don’t miss your chance to make some of these beautiful pieces part of your collection.

No Sophomore Slump HAWKS PUBLIC HOUSE A DELIGHTFUL ADDITION TO EAST SAC RESTAURANT SCENE
A
lmost 10 years ago, Michael Fagnoni and Molly Hawks opened an ambitious new restaurant in Granite Bay. It focused on the fresh, local and seasonal and took an uncompromising approach to cooking and serving. A meal at Hawks is still widely regarded as one of the finest dining experiences in the region. A trip to

Granite Bay (which some who live in the city regard as a Lewis-andClarkian expedition) is a treat if a visit to Hawks is included. Fagnoni and Hawks created a restaurant that exceeds expectations and exudes quality. It was with great anticipation, then, that news of a Hawks outpost in Midtown was greeted. The people of the grid waited with fervid excitement when the new eatery was first announced in early 2014. Then they waited some more. Then more waiting. Then a little more waiting. The Christmas lights were up in 2015 by the time Hawks Public House opened.
Things don’t move fast when you’re opening a business in Sacramento. It’s rare when a business isn’t delayed by permitting issues or licensing issues or health issues or parking issues or even noise issues. But that’s a discussion for a different column. In December 2015, Hawks Public House opened on Alhambra Boulevard and P Street. It was worth the wait. The architecture is an updated take on the Moorish splendor of the dearly departed Alhambra Theatre, with graceful arches and a lighted sign that’s a nod to a classic movie marquee. The interior switches up genres and goes with a rustic, steampunk vibe. Old-fashioned
overhead fans and large Edison light bulbs with large-looped filaments hang over the fairly simple space and give the place a cheeky ambience. Thankfully, there are no clever glassware or silverware choices meant to set apart the dining experience from the everyday. Hawks Public house lets its cooking speak for itself. The frequently changing menu has a definite Italian bent, with multiple pasta dishes and a few other Italian accents. But a good portion of the menu speaks to a more international point of view. Some of the highlights of Hawks’ menu were the pork ribs ($33), well shellacked and served with blistered

figs and roasted fingerling potatoes; the roasted squid small plate ($12) with indulgently rich beans and a palate-tingling herb puree; and pan-roasted arctic char ($26) over a sumptuous base of chickpeas and chorizo.
The service on each of my visits was nothing short of exceptional. The menu changes often and leans towards seasonal fare. One of the standbys is the Wagyu beef burger and fries ($18). Served on a brioche
bun and topped with aged cheddar and mushroom-bacon marmalade, it stands out as one of Sacramento’s great burgers. Some might blanch at the price, but the cost is close to some of the best restaurant burgers in town, like the Whiskey Burger at Formoli’s Bistro and the awardwinning burger at Pangaea Cafe. However, price is a component of any dining decision, and it’s fair to say that the cost of dining at Hawks isn’t in everyone’s budget. At a recent lunch, I sampled the casarecce (narrow, twisted and rolled tube pasta) served with a satisfying braised pork. It was a competent, unfussy dish that would fill up any reasonable diner. Yet it’s price—$22—seemed a little ambitious, especially for lunch. The lesser-priced small plates range from $5 to $16, but “small” is
exactly what they are, providing a few expertly crafted bites but not meant as a meal. Thankfully, those looking for ublime the same sublime execution from Hawks’ kitchens without the finedining prices can grab a bite at the casual food-to-go counter next door at Hawks Provisions. Sandwiches,, salads and baked goodss are ready at a moment’s notice and are, for the quality, very fairly priced. The service on each of my visits was nothing short of exceptional.
