Food for Thought A TOAST TO LOCAL RESTAURANT OWNERS WHO BEAT THE ODDS

I

’ve always thought owning a restaurant was one of the toughest jobs around. Thirty years ago when living in San Francisco, I had a friend who was a restaurant consultant.

When we first met, I naively asked why an owner would need to hire her. In those days, the San Francisco restaurant scene was in its heyday. New places had opened everywhere. Tables at popular spots were hard to book.

What she shared profoundly changed how I viewed the industry. First, she explained restaurants tended to keep much longer hours than other retail businesses. The products they sold were fresh and perishable, making waste a

CH

constant threat. Employees had the potential to steal food and alcohol.

In those days, food service primarily revolved around cash, which carried the risk of robbery. Food-service workers were often more transient than employees of other businesses.

My friend also pointed out restaurants required a large investment just to open the doors.

And once open, weeks were needed to resolve training and service issues with staff not accustomed to working together. All this happened while customers—if the restaurant owners had money left for marketing—were eager to judge the new place and test its worthiness.

A restaurant must get many things right. If the menu has limited courses, each dish should be perfect, or the verdict will be negative. A billing error could make a customer not return.

When a dining experience is topnotch, customers tend to be generous.

But if there are problems, they can be brutal. Some folks, like me, tend to address a bad meal or poor service

politely and discreetly to the waiter or manager. But others can be loud and obnoxious, especially if consuming alcohol. And folks with bad experiences share them.

While these challenges mostly hold true today, there are new pressures unheard of three decades ago.

Social media has taken criticism to a new and often brutal level. Of course, a good experience can be widely shared.

But criticism tends to drive much of social media. Rather than talk to a restaurant manager and try to help them improve, it’s easier to slam them on Yelp.

From what I hear, most business owners despise Yelp. It promotes the most critical reviews and expects businesses to advertise on Yelp to counter the criticism. It’s a no-win situation for many owners. Sadly, our society has become far less forgiving.

We are blessed that Sacramento has a lively and interesting restaurant scene to match our status as America’s farmto-fork capital. Our Inside Sacramento book features about 75 great places to

eat. In the second edition just published, we removed several businesses that closed since the first book was released in 2016.

And each month in our magazine pages, we review a dining establishment. In our more than 20 years, we have never run a negative review. Occasionally, there might be negative comments. But since our publication takes primarily a positive look at our neighborhoods, I decided the restaurant business was too tough and our readership too large to risk destroying a business.

It’s not that we haven’t had bad dining experiences. But our reviewer Greg Sabin knows if he has a bad meal, he can send me the bill and I’ll pay it.

He can try another place. He’s savvy and connected, so this doesn’t happen often.

If I know the owner, I contact them and ask them to call me back if they wish to know about a less-than-perfect experience. Sometimes they call back and I am honest. Other times, I never

ACCORDING TO ONE RECENT REPORT, SACRAMENTO COULD BE REACHING A TIPPING POINT FOR NEW BARS AND RESTAURANTS.

hear from them. Owners I speak with are appreciative.

According to one recent report, Sacramento could be reaching a tipping point for new bars and restaurants. The Sacramento Business Journal reported with more than 200,000 square feet of new eateries and watering holes opening in the central city by year’s end, there’s a good chance that supply will outstrip demand, according to Colliers International Sacramento.

Mark Engemann, a senior vice president at Colliers who specializes in retail properties, said dining places have become more common in retail spaces because they are local experiences as opposed to retailers of soft goods. In the past decade, retail has been decimated, first from the recession and internet competition, and more recently from rising rents.

Restaurants face their own challenges as concepts aimed at midmarket struggle.

The report says in Downtown and Midtown, openings in the past three

La Cosecha

12

IA NOV n 18

months have created a crowded market for new restaurants. The western half of Downtown Commons, adaptive reuse project 700K, The Bank on J Street and Ice Blocks in Midtown are poised for at least one, and typically more than one, new restaurant or bar to open before 2019. Together, these two neighborhoods account for more than 70 percent of Sacramento’s new openings in 2018.

More restaurants are planned for East Sac, West Sac and Arden-Arcade.

Engemann says residential growth could eventually support the locations opened this year, but possibly not for another two to three years, or longer.

While the bar and restaurant concepts are not new, in many cases they backfill empty spaces where a previous concept failed. Engemann says most restaurants look for secondgeneration space to keep costs down.

With higher fees and rising tenantimprovement expenses, being the first restaurant in a location is risky.

Engemann predicts the possibility of a shakeout. He counsels that restaurants or bars must draw from nearby residential areas, rather than expect customers to drive from suburbs, especially on nights and weekends.

At Inside Publications, we are lucky to have a stable group of loyal restaurant advertisers. They understand our direct-mail delivery ensures neighbors around their locations know they are ready for business.

But more new restaurants rely exclusively on social media to advertise their presence. Honestly, I’ve never been enticed to a new place by social media. I usually find out about a restaurant by seeing the new business, meeting the owners, or hearing from a friend. And what about all the customers who have never engaged in or have opted out of social media? They need to be reached.

As restaurants multiply, local dining dollars don’t expand at the same rate.

And while social media can drive folks

to new places, there’s a risk they won’t become loyal customers. Many people follow social media buzz and hop from place to place.

Longtime restaurant owners see this all the time. The new kid on the block gets the attention. But unless they can deliver long-term value and great service, folks quickly move on.

This is why I’m so impressed by our prominent and successful Sacramento restaurateurs, including Randy and Stacy Paragary, Matt and Fred Haines, the Fat family, the Selland family, Rick Mahan, Ernesto Delgado and Patrick and Bobbin Mulvaney. And those are just the owners I personally know.

There are many others who put their hearts and souls into this local industry.

And they succeed against tremendous competition.

It will be an interesting and challenging year ahead for this venerable and formidable Sacramento industry.

The Fair Oaks Boulevard street project will be completed in two phases.

Green Means Go NEW LIGHTS SHOULD MAKE FAIR OAKS STRETCH SAFER

W

ith an eye to transform Fair Oaks Boulevard into a more pedestrian- and bike-friendly street, the Sacramento County Department of Transportation is installing four additional stoplights along Fair Oaks in the quarter-mile stretch between University and Fulton avenues.

Along the route, the county will reduce lanes from six to four, swapping two car lanes for bike lanes. Added all up, including the existing lights at Howe Avenue and Munroe Street, there will be a total of six traffic lights with crosswalks and a “cycle track.”

Called the Fair Oaks Boulevard Complete Streets Project, the plan occurs in two phases. The first is underway and adds two new signalized crosswalks, which are crosswalks that allow pedestrians to push a signal button to stop traffic.

One crossing will be near McDonalds, the other near Zinfandel Grill. The

Dk

second phase starts early next year and adds bike lanes and two conventional, synchronized traffic lights designed to work with the flow of traffic, such as the lights at Howe and Munroe. The signals will be installed at University Avenue and Fulton and Fairgate Road.

“We will use the right of way that is now used for cars and replace it with a Class IV bike lane, a cycle track,” says county senior traffic engineer Matthew Darrow. “All of those improvements will help benefit bikes and pedestrians and allow people who want to use the businesses and establishments to get there other than driving.”

Some residents have expressed concerns that the project will increase commute times. Darrow explains that engineers determined there’s nothing to worry about.

“This will add only seconds of additional delay,” he says. “People are worrying about signals and eliminating a lane in each direction. When people drive the speed limit and go with the flow of traffic, it will only be seconds of delay.

“If it were to add five additional minutes, I would have a hard time accepting that. But we’re talking about seconds, not anywhere close to five minutes.”

How did the idea for the project come about?

“The county is always paying attention and looking to see how we can make things better and what

opportunities we have,” Darrow says.

“This was born out of some of the engineers in the office. When the opportunity to apply for a grant comes up, we always say, what would be a good project to apply for? We have noticed some people jaywalking in that area.”

Without question, traffic is heavy and crossing Fair Oaks is a challenge along this stretch. But reaction to the proposed plan is mixed.

Adjacent business owners are largely in favor of the project, while some commuters say the consolidated cluster of stoplights is too much.

Mansour Yaghoubian, whose Mansour’s Oriental Rug Gallery is across the street from Loehmann’s Plaza, says he’s witnessed many accidents in front of his shop.

“For traffic lights close to my shop, I am in favor of that,” he says. “We have had numerous accidents close to my shop when people try to make U-turns or turn left going out of Loehmann’s.

One person even died. So one traffic light for sure, but four, I don’t understand.”

Jennie Overland, manager of Renaissance Fine Consignment, believes the best option is an overpass connecting the Ettore’s side to the Pavilions side.

“This will help traffic and walkers who want to shop at both centers. We have a parking problem on our side,

so we could park over there, and vice versa. No matter what, a traffic light is long overdue because we have an accident out front almost every day,” she says.

Some nearby residents worry the change will encourage motorists to drive through quiet Sierra Oaks to avoid traffic lights. And they wonder whether bike lanes make sense since they won’t be safely connected to the rest of Fair Oaks Boulevard, which has no similarly dedicated safe space for bikes or pedestrians who navigate narrow shoulders, driveways and ditches.

The Sacramento Area Council of Governments and the 2014 Bicycle and Pedestrian Funding Program provided the money for the first phase. Funding is still being sought for the second phase, which is expected to begin in a couple of months and cost between $5 million and $6 million.

Letter to the Editor PROP. 5 HELPS SOLVE OUR HOUSING CRISIS

F

inding appropriate housing has never been so difficult in California, given skyrocketing prices and limited inventory. This November, voters will determine consequential outcomes for the state’s housing future.

As a licensed Realtor, I see these challenges every day. But empty nesters face a particular challenge. Many seniors have a desire to downsize and relocate closer to family members. If they do, they pay a moving penalty in the form of drastically higher property taxes. The tax sticker shock keeps many of these homeowners right where they are. In turn, fewer single-family homes enter the market.

This November, California voters can help solve these problems by voting yes on Proposition 5, the Property Tax Fairness Initiative.

Proposition 5 would protect people 55 years of age and older by providing the opportunity to take their property tax protections with them when they move.

Seniors aren’t the only ones who would be helped. The same protections would be extended to the severely disabled and to victims of natural disasters. Proposition 5 would also replace an inconsistent patchwork of confusing rules about property tax protections that vary from county to county.

Competing ballot measures, such as Proposition 10, the so-called “Affordable Housing Act,” would make the housing crisis worse. It would repeal protections for homeowners and let local government bureaucracies pass new rent control laws, tightening the market.

We need to address California’s housing shortage. Too many homebuyers are priced out of the market. In the Sacramento region, the median price of housing is $369,950, up 6 percent from a year ago.

As a Realtor, fellow Sacramentan and Californian, I urge voters to look closely at this year’s ballot. Our housing future depends on it.

FOOD-SAFETY CHAMPIONS Sacramento County celebrated National Food Safety Month in September and the Board of Supervisors honored several area establishments for outstanding records of “safety first” in their kitchens. Among the honorees was the El Camino High School cafeteria.

The county’s Food Safety Awards are just part of the Environmental Management Department’s nationally recognized food-safety program. Our county was first in the nation to issue the green-yellow-red placards during food-safety inspections. The cards are now models for other programs.

The 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 are issued to facilities that had no major violations during three consecutive inspections. In 2018, there were 475 facilities to earn a certificate.

Congratulations to the cafeteria at El Camino High School as one of the many honorees. While I have not sampled the food there, the school’s athletic teams have successful records, so the menu must be nutritious. Go Eagles!

To see if your favorite restaurant was among the 475 winners, visit emd. saccounty.net.

CARMICHAEL WALL OF HONOR On Saturday, Nov. 3, at 10 a.m., the Carmichael Recreation and Park District will sponsor a special ceremony recognizing 13 local heroes listed on the Wall of Honor at Patriots Park.

Sadly, another name will be added: Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputy Robert French, who lost his life last

The tragic September death of Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputy Mark Stasyuk was another reminder of the perils of law enforcement. Stasyuk and Deputy Julie Robertson responded to a call at an auto parts store in Rancho Cordova, where both came under fire.

Deputy Robertson was wounded and Deputy Stasyuk lost his life. He was 27, and served the department for almost five years.

Thankfully, their families were supported by the STAR 6 Foundation, which serves as the benevolent arm of the Sacramento County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association by providing immediate and ongoing financial assistance, grievance counseling and peer support for spouses, families and fellow officers of the Sheriff’s Department and surrounding law enforcement agencies.

Chamber merchants adopted a Western theme for businesses in the 1950s.

CHAMBER CELEBRATES 70 YEARS N

ow in its platinum year, the Carmichael Chamber of Commerce has been celebrating its history. Established in 1948 by a handful of merchants, the organization has spent seven decades boosting business and community interests.

While no founding members have surfaced, many organizations and individuals were recently applauded for more than 30 years of support.

Resident Jack Pefley, 94, took top honors for 42 years. Carmichael Water District and Lind Brothers Funeral Home followed with 39 years and 38 years, respectively.

At 32 years, Bel Air Grocery is the chamber’s oldest continuous retailer.

Although 70 years is a historic milestone, the chamber has deeper community roots. It morphed from the Carmichael Colony Improvement Club, formed by local settlers in 1913.

Pioneer farmer Mary Deterding was the group’s first president. Getting electricity and telephone lines to the new colony took a major effort, and the group lobbied the American Canyon Company for a reliable water supply. Colony founder Daniel Carmichael was cajoled into supplying wood for street signs and land for the first school. Through five decades, efforts by club members brought parks, a library and post office to the area. Because pioneers often named lanes after themselves—the Van Alstines, Stanleys, MacDonnells, Boyers and Clarks—membership read like a local street map. Meetings were convened in barns and sitting rooms, and, from the frequency of marriages between families, it seems matchmaking was often on the agenda.

The Carmichael population and industry mushroomed after WWII. Town leaders, including Improvement Club members, formed a business organization. An energetic new Chamber of Commerce took over the older club’s local representation.

An early chamber inspiration was to make Carmichael a destination. For this, merchants proposed a Western theme. The idea fitted the town’s recent pioneer past, and businessmen

gamely strutted main street in Stetsons and holsters. Frontier storefronts were erected, wooden sidewalks were laid and Western dances were staged in parking lots. A 1953 “Western Days” festival brought thousands to downtown Carmichael.

Miss Carmichael pageant contestants posed on wooden fence rails.

Although it took off with a yee-hah, the Western concept did not lasso enduring support. Sidewalk planks and hitching rails are long gone.

These days, a “Frontier Village” strip mall and the Western Feed Store are lonely vestiges of that quirky merchant ambition. The Milagro Centre restaurant complex now houses the chamber office.

With almost 300 members and energetic leadership, the 70-year-old chamber is enjoying a revitalization.

High-profile events like the “Carmichael Person of the Year” gala and the “Best of Carmichael”— supported by media hosts Kitty O’Neal and Tina Macuha, and basketball legend Vlade Divac—have kept the group conspicuous. Like the old Improvement Club, the chamber now lobbies for town needs with a strong voice.

“We’re blessed to have so many old and new members,” considers

chamber executive director Linda Melody. “Their support is our backbone. We couldn’t have our 70th anniversary without their faith in the organization and in Carmichael.”

MUSIC STORE SPREADS ART AND HEART If “music be the food of love,” music aficionados are spreading the love through food donations at Tim’s Music. Relocated to Carmichael last year, the instrument sales and repair shop has its own recital hall. As admission to clinics and performances, visitors are encouraged to bring non-perishable groceries to be donated to local food banks.

Tim’s Music staff also kick in a few dollars a day for snacks in their breakroom, and the cash is added to an in-house fund to buy more items. In seven months, more than 600 pounds of groceries stacked up.

Owner Scott Mandeville’s employees delivered the yield to the Sunrise Food Bank, a Citrus Heights agency that aids the homeless and families in need.

Sales director Jim Hart believes the store’s mission—to promote “wellness in society through music education and performance”—fits the staff’s

Better Angels Steve Sphar and Marisa Bogdanoff

LOCAL ALLIANCE IS DETERMINED TO DEPOLARIZE POLITICS

I

n Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address on March 4, 1861, on the eve of the Civil War, he made an impassioned plea to the people of the United States, stating, “We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”

In a nation struggling with political unrest yet again, the idea of appealing to our “better angels” is an important one—one that led to the founding of the aptly named Better Angels nonprofit in 2016. This national citizens’ movement is designed to reduce political polarization in the U.S. by bringing liberals and conservatives together in “red/blue community alliances” through workshops across the country.

“I’ve been worried about political polarization for years,” says Steve Sphar, founder and co-chair of the Better Angels Sacramento alliance.

“As Americans, our core values are pretty much the same, it’s just that the way we want to see those values get implemented are different. But the media has been painting more and more extreme images—distorted, cartoon images—of each side, which is really what’s making us fight each other.”

After the recent presidential election, Sphar noticed an up-tick in this “hyper-

partisanship” and felt like there had to be a better way to communicate across the aisle. He traveled to Virginia to watch a Better Angels workshop in progress and came away inspired to found his own local alliance, which he did in January of this year.

“It’s a very structured environment,” the Curtis Park resident explains, who uses his skills as an executive coach and business consultant in his role as workshop moderator. “You don’t just throw out an issue and let people fight.

We help people listen to each other.”

Natomas resident Marisa Bogdanoff—an information security specialist, sales executive and co-chair of the Sacramento alliance—especially appreciates the opportunity to have conversations that previously felt impossible in the current climate.

“Post-election, I felt this extreme divide in all aspects of my life,” explains Bogdanoff, who describes herself as “a conservative Republican woman

who’s also a vegetarian, a mom and a breadwinner.” “Family and even lifelong friends were being divided by politics. It was especially visible in my church community—I go to services at Trinity Cathedral to worship and feel renewed, but there was this elephant in the room. When you hear certain opinions from the pulpit, it has a meaningful impact both in good ways and bad ways.”

Bogdanoff took it upon herself to approach the clergy to see if there was a way to address the polarization among the parishioners and was delighted to find that they were open to suggestions.

Shelley Mydans—a friend of Sphar’s who also attends Trinity—suggested Bogdanoff help her organize a Better Angels workshop. That was the first in a series that has become a resounding success.

“In that first workshop at Trinity, it felt like healing took place,” Sphar says.

“Absolutely,” Bogdanoff concurs. “We were able to come together and connect with each other on a human level—not based on stereotypes or caricatures. The workshop helped people realize that you can have different views, but you can also communicate without it becoming hostile.”

Better Angels workshops (Sphar and Bogdanoff have organized six so far, with many more in the pipeline) bring together “red” and “blue” participants who are led through a series of exercises in which they discuss stereotypes, are encouraged to ask questions of the other side and come away with actionable items to help them move into the future with more understanding.

“I’ve felt empowered to have conversations that before I would have avoided,” Bogdanoff says. “To learn how to have productive, more authentic conversations has been really liberating.”

“The immediate, most important outcome is for people to leave feeling different about each other,” Sphar says.

“We’re not changing their views, it’s more about personal transformation and spreading love. It’s rare to be able to affect a big issue, but now there’s a proven methodology where we can really make a difference.”

Never Forgotten

EAST SAC VETERAN MAKES THE MOST OF MEMORIES Robert Tribe on the summit cairn of Silver Peak.

B

ob Tribe talks about something that happened in 1965 like it was yesterday. His photographic memory is helpful in volunteer work for the Sacramento Library, where he interviews veterans for the “Valley to Vietnam” archive project.

“I’ve always been fascinated by history,” says Tribe, who passed up graduate school at San Francisco State to join the U.S. Army in 1966 at age 22.

After surviving basic and advanced infantry training, infantry officers candidate school and jump school— despite his fear of heights—Tribe was assigned to the 6th Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg, for which he

eventually became an intelligence officer responsible for planning field training exercises across the country.

Tribe never served in Vietnam, but he knew many who did. In 1986, he decided to track down fellow officers school alumni and see what they were up to. He spent hours at the library poring over phonebooks and managed to locate nearly 100 classmates. He invited them to a reunion in Las Vegas—the first of 14 reunions thus far.

“No one brags about their service,” says Tribe, an East Sacramento resident since 1982. “Everyone talks about how scared they were and how much we miss those that were killed in action.

We gather donations for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in each of the states the deceased represented.”

The ability to bring people together comes naturally to Tribe. After leaving the Army, he worked for the Office of Criminal Justice Planning. He organized correctional taskforces and a program to help young delinquents find a better path. He moved to the Fair Political Practices Commission, where he retired as executive director in 2000 after 25 years.

“It was amazing being there at the beginning and having input about what

it would look like going forward,” says Tribe, who helped the commission grow from 35 employees to more than 100.

“It’s an impressive agency. You have to be immune to politics and I really found that to be true.”

Once retired, Tribe returned to his passion—research. He befriended James Scott, an archivist who oversees the library’s Sacramento Room. Scott was starting a project called “Valley to Vietnam,” where Vietnam veterans from the area are interviewed on camera for 20 to 60 minutes. The interviews are committed to DVDs to serve as historical reference material.

Tribe himself was interviewed, but because of his “naturally loquacious” personality, he says, it wasn’t long before he agreed to conduct the interviews and track down potential interviewees.

“If I see someone wearing a veteran’s hat in Costco, I’ll chase them down,” Tribe says with a laugh.

Though the project is timeconsuming—Tribe and Scott have completed 55 interviews so far, with more in the works—Tribe still finds time for his other hobbies. He leads hikes and teaches classes on

backpacking and survival for the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Tribe also serves on the boards of the nonprofit Yosemite National Institutes and Headlands Institute (now called NatureBridge). He volunteers with his wife, Jeanne Pritchard, for the Catholic cathedral, Volunteers of America and St. John’s Program for Real Change.

That is, when he’s not climbing mountains.

“I try to climb a new peak every year,” says the 75-year-old, who has conquered 154 mountains for various birthdays and special occasions—often with friends—since his first climb in 1978. “I plan to do as many more as I can before I’m no longer able.”

Once at the top, Tribe records in the summit register the name of someone who has died or is suffering from a serious illness. It’s a way to honor and remember friends and family. Even at 14,000 feet, Tribe finds a way to put his stellar memory to good use.

F

ive murals totaling 2,500 square feet of colorful art now decorate the California Montessori Project campus in Carmichael. The last mural was recently unveiled to reveal a dazzling pageant of California history.

“The work portrays two significant events in our history—the establishment of Spanish missions and the rush to find gold,” explains artist and teacher Noah Kocina, who completed all the murals over five summer vacations.

The Montessori Project began leasing teaching space from Carmichael Recreation and Park District in 2009. Kocina and director of school operations Gary Bowman beheld bare concrete slabs and envisioned opportunities for beautification and for enhancing the school’s community presence.

Bowman suggested a series of murals and commissioned Kocina to work during summer teaching breaks.

“I’d start at 6 a.m.,” says the artist.

“Mornings were completely quiet and painting felt like meditation. I’d work six or seven hours until it got so hot my paint dried before I could apply it.”

Kocina’s designs represent Montessori philosophy and five cultural elements of school studies: botany, zoology, geometry, geography and history. Before he began, one wall was already painted with the Stars and Stripes. Park district

I incorporated it in my geometry mural—there’s a lot of geometry in the design of a flag.”

His botany mural centers around a huge California poppy. A 36-foot trout dominates his zoology design.

The muralist’s big view of geography shows the solar system in relationship to Earth. He plans a separate future work illustrating Native American life before missionaries and miners arrived.

Though Kocina was paid for his five-summer project, the tableaux are still works of passion. “At first, I tried

to keep my art simple,” he recalls.

“I began with only one person in my geometry design. By the final mural, I was working on an epic. I used as many people, animals and symbols as I could. Every man, woman or child in all five works is a likeness of someone affiliated to this school.

“Planning the last mural, was like casting a play. I had to find 23 people with face and body types to match monks, miners, a Mexican senorita and the goddess Minerva from our state seal.” One of Kocina’s daughters became the goddess.

OUT WITH THE OLD NEW BRANDING HOPES TO UPDATE DUSTY WATERFRONT IMAGE

Community leaders gather to to unveil Old Sacramento's new modern brand and logo.

F

rom the Golden 1 Center and Wide Open Walls to new restaurants and development, Sacramento has undergone impressive cultural growth in recent years, even rebranding itself the farm-to-fork capital.

Contrary to its name, Old Sacramento has joined the city’s renaissance.

tagline proclaims, people just need to “come find it.”

Old Sacramento’s new brand and logo—Old Sacramento Waterfront–— were unveiled in August, but according to Emilie Cameron of the Downtown Sacramento Partnership, project manager for the rebrand, the process has been years in the making.

“An opportunity came up last year for partners to come together and fund a rebranding project,” says Cameron, who explains the work was funded by various groups including the Downtown Sacramento Foundation, Downtown Sacramento Partnership, City of Sacramento, Visit Sacramento, California State Parks and California State Railroad Museum.

The multiple groups illustrate, in part, why rebranding Old Sacramento was so important: with diverse interests invested in the corridor, including the city, state and private businesses, Old Sacramento has worn multiple identities. And from those many faces has come a blurred vision of cohesion.

“That’s why this project was really important,” Cameron says. “Over the course of several decades, there have been different efforts, different logos. So when we went into this we brought in all the partners.” She notes the goal was “to build cohesive identity.”

Tasked with the rebrand of Old Sacramento was local marketing agency Misfit, led by creative director Chris Woloshansky and partners Matt Kolbert, Carol Gleeson and Dave Flanagan.

“Old Sacramento needed more than an ad campaign,” Flanagan says. “They needed a whole new brand. In fact, they had a thousand brands.”

Misfit not only designed a new logo, but a new website and media, tagline,

banners and images that will be on display throughout Old Sacramento.

The hope, says Flanagan, “is that people start to see and think about Old Sacramento in a different light.”

To identify that new brand, Flanagan notes Misfit set out “to get rid of years and years and years of branding, and really find out what encapsulates Old Sacramento. There were so many moving parts, so many voices and opinions. That was the biggest difficulty. Getting them to a place that they all agreed, and all were excited.”

Perhaps the biggest challenge in finding common ground revolved around the corridor’s very name.

“The name ‘Old’ sums it up,” Flanagan says. “We found through

Misfit did redesign the old logo, which featured sepia tones and a Victorian gas lamp. The new logo embraces a bolder, more modern font and subtly moves “Old” to the side and brings the word “waterfront” to center attention, which wasn’t by accident.

“By attaching waterfront, now (the logo) has this new vibe,” Flanagan says.

According to Cameron, one of the rebranding’s main objectives was to establish that Old Sacramento is a gateway to Sacramento’s waterfront.

“Old Sacramento is ground zero for the rebrand, but the goal is to get people to activate the waterfront,” she says.

Just as the word “Old” has been moved to the periphery of the new logo, it may come to pass that “Old” eventually is abandoned altogether. But that, says Flanagan, would take time and adjustment.

“Over a long time, the hope is that it becomes The Waterfront,” he says.

Early next year, West Sacramento begins an approximately $5 million project across the river to extend Riverfront Street and include more pedestrian walkways and bike lanes “Like the rest of Sacramento,” says Flanagan, “Old Sacramento is really continuing to thrive, and the waterfront is an aspect that most Sacramentans haven’t really thought of.”

SACRAMENTO FOOD BANK WORKS TO FIGHT FOOD INSECURITY

L

et me introduce you to Kelly Siefkin. She’s vice president of communications and marketing for Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. She talks fast, and is quick with numbers and statistics, so I’m struggling to keep up. Today, she’s wearing a green-patterned dress with green earrings and black flats, and carrying her cell phone. We’re touring the food bank campus on Bell Avenue—110,000 square feet on 12 acres. It’s a big facility, but the food bank feeds a lot of hungry people in and around the farm-to-fork capital.

Here, you can see your donations and food bank volunteers at work. In the first warehouse, the “Wall of Pride” draws attention to the companies whose employees have volunteered their time.

Below the wall, fans move the air while a crew packs distribution boxes for seniors. Colorful trucks (there’s a fleet of 10) are parked at the loading docks.

On the side of one truck it says that one in five people in Sacramento County suffers from food insecurity. What does that mean? In short, there are a lot of people, including children and seniors, who do not know where their next meal will come from—an estimated 230,000 people in the county fall into that gap, Siefkin says. The food bank supplies food to 157,000 people every month. Ponder those numbers while we continue the tour.

Another warehouse contains pallets of canned and boxed food stored on racks. Local watermelons and cabbages fill bins and boxes. Adzuki beans and rice are stored in large bags. In the last warehouse, more volunteers check sell-by dates and sort donations into categories. Siefkin calls it “reverse grocery shopping.” Empty bins that say “Donate Here!” wait to be filled.

The food bank purchases a lot of the food it distributes. The cans don’t have dents and the packaging looks like what you would find in a grocery store. It also receives USDA food commodities with their official-looking labels. Donations come from the community, including restaurants and local farms, like Durst Organic Growers (those watermelons, for example), David J. Elliot & Son, Greene & Hemly, Goldbud Farms and Vierra Farms, and corporations.

Siefkin was excited about the refrigerators, racks and pallet jacks that would be arriving the following day. They will be distributed to the food bank’s partner agencies—there are 220 organizations in the area—everything from churches to food pantries. Smaller agencies sometimes lack equipment and proper storage facilities, but they are the first defense in the war against hunger.

Despite the positive news about the economy and low unemployment, Siefkin says the number of working poor and underemployed people in Sacramento is increasing. Many people are forced to work two jobs with zero benefits. Without pay increases to cover rising rents, families can’t afford to pay for housing and buy food.

“Sacramento is an incredibly expensive place to live,” she says. While it’s not the Bay Area, gas prices and rent are high.

Siefkin says, “[Most] people don’t have a clue where their food comes from,” so part of the food bank’s job is to educate people. Clients often don’t know how to cook items, like adzuki beans or rice, from scratch, so the food bank hands out recipe cards. “Fear of [different] food is real,” she says, and

it is passed down from parents to their children.

Here’s one of the many programs that caught my attention. Produce for All distributes fresh produce on a monthly schedule at various locations.

Working with its partner agencies, the food bank chooses neighborhood sites—schools and health clinics, for example—because people need to be able to get there (and carry their food home) without having to take a bus or drive a car. You can use the online “food finder” tool to find distribution sites.

Produce for All distributed 506,884 pounds of food in the last fiscal year, Siefkin says, and it is on track to do the same this year.

Can anyone show up and receive free food? The answer is yes. “We’re here to serve and be judgment free,” Siefkin says. “Food is often the entry point,” for families, but they can also access other services: nutrition, technology, life skills and English classes, as well as clothing distribution and more.

Alive & Well NEWS OF MY DEATH PRECEDES ME

I

have good news for all of you. Most of you, that is.

I’m not dead.

Apparently, a few of my readers thought, as evidenced by the voicemail I recently received, that I was singing in the celestial choir.

Lorelei, a nice woman from Lodi, reported that she’d sent a donation for my daughter’s charity, Chispa Project, which starts children’s libraries in Honduras. However, the post office returned it stamped, “Recipient Deceased.”

We played phone tag, so I left a message in my best ghost voice, “I’m not dead!”

NB

Truthfully, I’m a bit worried that I may be responsible for starting this “false narrative.”

One day back in 2004, I stood at my Elk Grove mailbox extracting tons of junk mail addressed to me. Normally, I’d trash most of it, but with so much identity theft, I was worried that someone might want to become Norris Burkes.

So I began following the advice of consumer advocates and brought it inside to shred. However, with all the unsolicited credit card applications I received on a daily basis, my shredder was on its last leg.

Like most of you, I was tired of sifting through mounds of credit card offers. I started wondering what it might be like if I could obtain the coveted designation, “deceased recipient.”

No, I wasn’t going to fake my death so my wife could collect the life insurance. Nor was I planning the really convincing kind of demise where folks would actually bury me. But maybe, I thought, there was a kind of heaven where I would no longer get travel

brochures, carwash deals or credit card applications.

That’s when the deceit began.

Standing right there at the mailbox, I tore open a credit card application.

I grabbed the return envelope and scrawled “DECEASED. RETURN TO SENDER.” I thought about smearing catsup on the envelope, but I didn’t want the United States postal inspectors charging me with sending biohazards through the mail. Without further drama, I dropped it in the community mail slot and raised the flag.

I know what you’re thinking. “Aren’t you a chaplain? Isn’t telling people you’re dead kind of like lying?”

Honestly, I gave it some consideration.

But at the time I thought maybe it wasn’t really lying. Maybe it was simply telling the truth early. It was an advanced level of truth telling. Yeah, that sounded even better—Advanced Truth Telling.

The ATT philosophy was much like the motivational speakers of the day

who urged their audience to simply “Announce what you believe and act as though it’s true.” Or like the televangelists who would say, “Name it and claim it.”

Here’s how ATT worked in my case: I believed that one day I’d be dead. I asserted it in my heart and, voila, one day it would likely become true. So that wasn’t really lying, right? Again, it was more like anticipating the truth ahead of time.

I repeated this act several more times until I felt a pang of conscience that caused me to stop. Still, I’m more than pleased that the junk mail slackened significantly.

Of course, now I have another problem. Not only were a few contributions returned, it seems that my wife is getting phone solicitations for my burial plots. Fortunately, she usually stops those callers by asking, “Yes, but can I use your prepaid envelope to send his ashes?”

ree planting is in Sacramento’s DNA. Early residents created a canopy of shade trees along city streets to make our scorching summers bearable. The Sacramento Tree Foundation boasts it has planted well over a million trees since the group’s founding in 1990.

Trees in Sacramento have lowered ambient temperatures and electricity use, cleaned the air and water, increased property values and improved our quality of life. The foundation’s Greenprint program aims to plant millions more throughout the region.

Sacramento County residents may qualify for free shade trees from the Sacramento Shade Tree program sponsored by SMUD in partnership with the foundation.

Fall, winter and early spring are “super good times to plant a tree,” says Pamela Sanchez, Sacramento Tree Foundation arborist. Whether free or

purchased, a new tree represents a significant investment of time, money and future care.

It’s not enough to pick out a tree, select a spot, dig a hole and plunk it in the ground. Roots are the key to a tree’s survival. If its roots are circling or kinked, a tree is doomed.

Chuck Ingels dedicated his life to teaching and advocating for Sacramento landscapes, home gardening and agriculture as Sacramento County’s UC Cooperative Extension advisor. Last April, he conducted a training session for local Master Gardeners about why newly planted trees fail.

Ingels showed us the latest victim at the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center.

Another young shade tree had toppled over, exposing roots wrapped in a circle rather than radiating out into the soil.

“This is deadly to trees, and it happens all the time,” he told the group. “This is why a lot of people come into our office and say, ‘My tree died and I don’t know what I did to it.’ We don’t often think that the roots could be completely girdled. But if you dig it out, you will see. We need to make sure that they correct this problem before they plant. This is really important for people to know.”

Before planting a tree, Ingels advocated rinsing the soil from the

PLA

roots, teasing the roots apart, cutting off any that circle or kink at the point where it bends and planting the tree bare-root. Arborist Sanchez agrees people need to rough up a tree’s root ball, loosening and straightening out roots before planting. “Many people are afraid they will damage the tree.

However, they do more damage by being too nice,” she advises.

Sanchez warns trees should be well watered before and after planting, especially if you are going to cut away some roots. Then, put on your gloves and massage the root ball, looking for big circling roots. If a root is kinked or bent, cut it back to where it is straight, or take it out altogether. Roots should grow in a radial pattern.

It’s tempting to invest in a larger tree to make an immediate impact. I’ve heard the five-gallon trees provided by Sacramento Shade disparagingly called “SMUD-lets.” These younger trees are actually a good size to plant. They are much less likely to have developed root or structural problems.

Bigger trees are often buried too deep as nursery workers plant them in ever-larger pots. One study found that 15-gallon trees had as much as 8 inches of excess soil above the root collar (the spot where the trunk meets the roots).

and cut off any roots that have grown from the trunk or up into the excess soil. Your goal is to plant the root collar slightly above grade.

If purchasing a tree, be informed and picky. Feel free to tip the tree out of the container to examine the roots. Grab its trunk and wiggle it from side to side to make sure the roots provide even support. Evaluate the growth structure to make sure it’s a quality tree.

During Ingels’ training session, he said, “Somebody needs to write about this.” I’m fulfilling that request in memory of this wonderful man, who passed away at home from cancer Aug. 12. He was 61.

He leaves a tremendous legacy in the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center, in his books and other writings, and through the many people he taught and inspired.

Another Reason to have the right living trust: It proves that you are not a turkey...

• A good estate plan gives your loved ones something to be truly thankful for.

• The right trust will keep your assets from being gobbled up in probate court.

• Planning with an experienced lawyer can prevent fowl play.

• Doing things right can also keep you from rolling over in your gravy.

All kidding aside, the Thanksgiving season can be a great time to talk about your plans. When you are ready for peace of mind, please call me or visit www.wyattlegal.com. I’d be glad to help.

Short Circuits E-CARS ENTICE, BUT DON’T SOLVE DEEPER PROBLEMS

E

lectric cars have been the wave of the future since a long time in the past. They have promised cleaner air and zero trips to the gas station.

The plug-in electric cars I’m talking about are zero-emission vehicles, powered solely by batteries, not hybrids powered by gasoline generators.

Governments have incentivized electric car purchases with hefty tax credits and HOV lane privileges. It’s possible to get a $7,500 federal tax credit and a $2,500 state rebate for an electric car.

Lately, there’s been growing interest in electric vehicles. Tesla seems to have made battery cars sexier. Other manufacturers have refined technology and are producing more models. New

California laws will require Uber and Lyft to shift toward zero-emission vehicles, and France and other countries want to eliminate cars with internal combustion engines.

UC Davis engineering professor Dan Sperling regards electric vehicles, along with autonomous and shared vehicles, as part of the mobility “revolution.” A recent Sacramento Bee opinion piece by transportation consultant Karen Skelton said, “We are in the beginning stages of an electric transportation revolution essential to preserving the planet.”

Yet consumers have not been so enthusiastic. California has more than 400,000 electric cars, more than the rest of the country put together. Nationally there were only 540,000 electric cars on the road in November 2016—from a fleet of about 260 million. That’s two-tenths of a percent. Even with the current uptick in interest and sales, electric cars represent less than 1 percent of cars sold in the U.S. Probably the chief problem for consumers is “range anxiety.” Electric cars can travel anywhere between 80 and around 300 miles on a charge.

That’s fine for a second family car and trips around town, but a major drawback for single-car families and long journeys.

Having to spend hours recharging batteries every couple of hundred miles is not practical on a long-distance family vacation. A Nissan Leaf can get 150 miles on a charge. Tesla models broke the 200-mile barrier and its Model S can go 315 miles, but it costs $71,000.

Few, if any, electric cars cost as much as the Model S, but electric cars are expensive. Even with tax breaks and rebates, the price tag can still be higher than a car with an internal combustion engine.

Electric cars don’t eliminate emissions. They eliminate tail-pipe emissions. The emissions are displaced to remote power plants, and many of

those plants use dirty fossil fuels. As the energy sources for power generation become cleaner, the amount of air and carbon pollution will be reduced.

But all sources of energy, including nuclear, solar and wind, have negative environmental impacts, even though those impacts may be less than coal, oil or natural gas.

Electric car batteries are heavy, 1,000 pounds versus 40 pounds for a lead/ acid battery. And they have to provide enough energy to move their own weight. They occupy a lot of space that could be used for cargo and may not work well in extreme cold or heat. They need scarce materials to produce. Their recycling is still in its infancy.

Many of these problems can be dealt with in a variety of ways. Car manufacturers are improving battery technology, increasing electric car range, shrinking charging times and lowering prices. We can expect innovations to continue. But observers believe, because of physical limits, that advances are very unlikely to be as fast or dramatic as with computer technology.

More importantly for me, electric cars don’t do anything to reduce traffic congestion or parking needs. As populations grow, that’s serious. They have all the problems that our millions of current cars have, most of which are heavy vehicles with a single occupant.

Electric cars don’t do anything to reduce deaths, injuries and property damage caused by crashes. Electric cars don’t increase physical activity or improve public health like walking and biking. It’s not clear how utilities would create enough generating capacity to power millions of vehicles.

Will electric cars preserve the planet? I believe they have problems that are profound and intractable.

Admittedly, my perspective is skewed by a preference for human powered transportation, so I could be wrong.

Perhaps the electric car’s future will unfold in a way I can’t envision and finally deliver on its promise.

A Perfect Fit COUPLE FINDS A PIECE OF HISTORY IN BOULEVARD PARK

C

olleen and Charlie Hildeburn love old homes. When the couple relocated from Orinda to Sacramento in 2015, finding a classic with good bones and times past was high on their priority list.

CR

By Cathryn Rakich Home Insight

IA NOV n 18

Married 31 years with three grown children, the empty-nesters initially rented the “Didion House,” a threestory, 7,000-square-foot home, built in 1910 at the corner of 22nd and T streets, where author Joan Didion lived as a teenager. The Hildeburns even considered buying the famous dwelling.

“It was historically fantastic, but it was too much house for us,” Colleen says.

Locating another home from a bygone era in the same part of town was the goal. By May 2017, the couple found what they were looking for—a three-bedroom, three-bath American four-square, built in 1908, located in Boulevard Park in Midtown. “The house

was perfect,” notes Colleen. “We love the front porch. We love the big trees.

It’s the perfect size.”

Charlie, who works in finance, appreciates old houses. “But he’s not handy,” says Colleen with a smile.

“So he didn’t want a real project.”

With the 2,100-square-foot home, “the difficult stuff had been done,” she adds, including renovations of the kitchen and bathrooms.

Respecting the nuances of the mature home—which is listed as a historical landmark with Preservation Sacramento—was important to the previous owners who strived to

maintain the integrity of the house throughout the refurbishing.

“The kitchen is delightful,” Colleen says. White shaker cabinets and black granite countertops complement a marble-topped island. Antique light fixtures hang above the stainless-steel sink and a narrow butler pantry (aka bar) with extra storage separates the kitchen from the dining room.

The Hildeburns chose a blackand-white paint scheme for most of the interior, including the extra wide staircase that was previously carpeted.

A wall-to-wall rug on the second-floor landing muffles heavy footsteps and makes the walk from the guest bedroom

to the bathroom “cozy” for visitors.

“I’ve never done wall-to-wall carpeting because old houses didn’t have it,” says Colleen. “But it really makes a difference.”

An upstairs sunporch was made into an interior room, which the Hildeburns had to re-plaster because the walls were buckling. The master bedroom is “not grand,” admits Colleen, “but it’s got a great big bathroom,” with marble countertops and a comfortably spacious tub.

“They did a really nice job making it look old, but it’s new.”

The previous owners gave the landscaping a makeover, adding a lower-level lounging area with a fire pit. Colleen changed out many of the plants for repeat-blooming roses and a lemon tree. An herb box hangs outside the kitchen within easy reach.

Decorating the older home was not a problem for a couple who love antiques. And even though the transition to a smaller house forced them to part with many treasures collected over the years, they kept

several pieces that were especially important, including a piano from the 1800s and two large portraits of Charlie’s great, great, great grandparents, which hang in the living room.

The Hildeburns enjoy the urban setting that Midtown offers. “We walk everywhere or ride our bikes,” says Colleen, who grew up in Land Park and whose mother now lives in Midtown. “I can walk to mom’s house.”

Colleen’s father, Herb Jackson, who served as Sacramento County district attorney from 1978 to 1982, passed away in 2010. “All his family is still here—my aunts, uncles and cousins,” she adds. “I think Boulevard Park is great. The old homes. The divided streets with lawn in between. We found a house and neighborhood we love, and it suits us perfectly for this stage in our lives.”

ill Calhoun has vivid memories from his NBA career. He remembers when the league created the rule to stop goaltending. He remembers when they introduced the 24-second shot clock.

And he remembers the last time the Kings franchise won a championship.

He played forward for the Rochester Royals. The year was 1951. The team that would become the Sacramento Kings beat the New York Knicks for the

NBA title. The Kings haven’t touched a championship since.

“The town was pretty excited, but fans were nothing like they are today,” Calhoun says. “We had a 4,000-seat arena, and they filled it for every game, but they didn’t go crazy.”

Calhoun turns 91 this month.

He walks every day in his Reno neighborhood despite bad knees and recent heart surgery. He feels pretty good, considering. Calhoun and Frank “Pep” Saul are the last surviving members of the Royals’ championship team. Saul is 94 and endures with Alzheimer’s.

Nobody expected the Royals to beat the Knicks in 1951. Nobody believed they were talented enough to reach the championships.

To advance to the final round, the Royals upset the Minneapolis Lakers and George Mikan—a remarkable center whose skills inspired the goaltending rule and 24-second clock.

Calhoun played every minute in the

series and guarded Jim Pollard, NBA Hall of Fame forward from Stanford.

“I shut him down,” Calhoun says.

“I neutralized him.”

In those days, the Royals were like the Kings. They were stars in their hometown, but ignored elsewhere. The best players didn’t want to work in the backwater of upstate New York.

Calhoun didn’t mind. A kid from San Francisco, he was 19 when the Royals signed him.

“I never heard of the NBA before that,” he says. “I showed up in Rochester dressed in California clothes. Everybody else had suits, ties and those hats Easterners used to wear. I stuck out.”

Unlike the Kings, the 1951 Royals had something special—chemistry.

Calhoun was a defensive wizard.

Bobby Wanzer could score from the perimeter. Arnie Risen was fearless around the basket. Arnie Johnson was a fine rebounder. Red Holzman was a natural leader. And Bob Davies was an exquisite playmaker.

“We all got along and our talents complimented each other,” Calhoun says. “A great group of guys.”

Calhoun was paid $2,000 for the playoffs and championship. Soon afterward, he was traded to Baltimore.

He played four more years with Syracuse and Milwaukee.

Today, he follows the Golden State Warriors, not the Kings. He says, “I have no interest in seeing a game that has no meaning. I love the Warriors.

They come running down with four guys, each of them has a shot, and they pass the ball.”

His favorite Kings team, aside from the 1951 squad, was the 2002 team that almost beat the Lakers in the West Conference Finals.

“I loved that team,” the old champ says. “When I saw Vlade Divac make back-door passes, and when I saw their guards playing defense, I knew they were something special.”

ecause Jeff Myers believes that artists need to keep learning or get stale, the painter and photographer has made it his mission to come up with ever more inventive and innovative techniques.

The son of legendary local stock photographers Sally Myers and the late Tom Myers created a sculpture for the McKinley Village development in East Sacramento that is a genre unto

itself. Myers purchased a 1950s Ford tractor and covered the outside with a fresh “skin” of aluminum plating to which he applied his art.

“The project for McKinley Village is a direct extension of what I’ve been doing on a two-dimensional surface in my studio,” says Myers, who lives in Midtown and works out of a studio in Land Park. For the tractor sculpture, he painted a series of detailed

paintings based on aerial photographs looking down on human patterns, such as agricultural fields and freeway networks. Then he sent the paintings to Los Angeles to be photographed and heat-imbedded into aluminum, a process called dye sublimation.

“Aluminum is a beautiful screen to print or project onto,” he says. “It gives a piece an almost stained-glass feeling.” Myers then welded and

riveted the thin sheets of aluminum onto the tractor—“almost like recreating flesh,” he explains.

The project—called “Tractor Levitation” because it’s suspended above its base on three steel beams—stands sentinel at one of the entrances to the home development in the very area where Myers grew up.

(In fact, he remembers when the land was covered with peach trees instead of new homes.) In a way, the artwork acts as a merging of all of Myers’ passions: photography, painting, technology and history.

“I’ve become more and more interested in the historical wave of technology versus the wave of human consciousness,” Myers says. “I love exploring consciousness. What are the boundaries of it? How does it relate to the curve of technology? I like to bring an ambiguity to my forms: Are those brushstrokes something alive and organic or something digital? I like that in-between ground.”

Myers grew up traveling all over the country with his dad to photography gigs. In school, he struggled with dyslexia, which made visual art a more natural mode of expression than reading or writing.

State with the likes of Wayne Thiebaud, Roland Petersen, Fred Dalkey, Laureen Landau and Oliver Jackson. He moved to New York in 1995 and stayed for five years, making friends and connections that he still maintains.

“I wanted to view the major exhibitions and collections located in New York in person as part of my education,” says Myers, who still goes back east to visit at least once a year and periodically places pieces with a private art dealer there. “I moved to New York to establish a network of friends and collectors so that now a big chunk of my work comes from commission. As a freelance artist, you have to balance commission with exhibition.”

Another focus has been a collection of photos he took while in Paris to create a temporary art installation with a friend. (Myers ripped up photos he’d taken of giant redwoods and tacked them to edifices throughout the city.) He manipulates the photos with different types of printing processes. For example, he’ll print out a photo and transfer it to a canvas through a painstaking sponging process, then he’ll paint over the ghost image just enough that you can see both the new strokes and the original image.

“I love playing with the time trajectory of past, present and future,” he explains. “I think one of the roles of visual art as the world changes faster and faster is to provide that anchor point, that stillness.

And when traditional materials and technology interrelate, they create a visual tapestry unlike anything else.”

f o e c i l S n e v Hea REAL PIE COMPANY RETURNS AND DELIVERS THE GOODS

IA NOV n 18

P

ie is one of my favorite things. I will take pie over cake any day.

I will take pie over doughnuts and pie over ice cream (or even better, ice cream over pie, if you know what I mean).

When I learned Real Pie Company was to open a few blocks from my home, I was thrilled. After several appetizing visits over the last six months, the joy continues.

Several years ago, owner and professional baker Kira O’Donnell opened a small pie shop on 12th Street in Alkali Flat. For various reasons, none of which involved the quality and deliciousness of the pies, the business failed. It was, as many food-obsessed friends noted, a flash of flavor, a singular opportunity to delight in sweet

sensation, and a too-common flameout on the culinary landscape.

The demise of O’Donnell’s pies Downtown belonged in the same category as the closures of Doughbot, the experimental doughnut shop on 10th Street, and David Berkley, the specialty grocer, sandwich and wine store at Pavilions. Their exits were major losses.

But Real Pie Company is back.

This time around, O’Donnell and her husband, Fred Babich, have built a larger space to meet their needs. On 24th Street, between Broadway and X Street, the new RPC combines a spacious kitchen with a good-sized and well-lighted dining room. The vibe is small town, with photos of local farms, fresh and dried flowers, and adorable signs offering a free slice on your birthday or if you get a good report card.

My wife said the scene reminded her of the small Pacific Northwest towns of her childhood.

Instead of writing about Real Pie Company after it opened in late spring, I wanted to wait until prime pie season. November is the month when Americans are gripped by pie-fever.

O’Donnell’s new enterprise has the cure. So here we go.

Let’s start with the key lime pie.

It’s a keeper. The subtle green and

yellow hue of the filling, the beautifully granular graham crust and the lipcoating whipped cream topping all come together to make a perfect version of this Floridian classic.

And the butterscotch-banana cream pie might have the key lime beat. With the rich, smoky tang of butterscotch and the full-tilt flavor of fresh banana, it’s right in my wheelhouse.

Old-school favorites such as chocolate cream, coconut cream and lemon meringue are also available and provide prime examples of each style.

Naturally, fresh fruit selections change with the seasons. But the jumble-berry, a mix of Marion blackberries, cherries, wild blueberries and raspberries will always be on the menu. The crust on these beauties is wonderfully heavy with butter, yet still flaky and decadent.

Depending on the season, customers will find plums, apricots, apples, figs and any number of locally farmed (and sometimes backyard harvested) treats filling these crusty marvels.

Occasionally, a crumble top does the job. Real Pie Company makes one of the best.

For the holiday season, O’Donnell is bringing out a special treat, cazuela pie, which is a mixture of pumpkin, sweet potato and coconut. Similar in

texture to a traditional pumpkin pie, the cazuela is slightly less sweet than Thanksgiving pumpkin, but with a dash of coconut for that heady, day-atthe-beach flavor. This is one to bring to a big family dinner. It will not only impress, it will delight.

Savory pies round out the menu with heavy comfort and dead-on execution.

The obligatory chicken potpie puts together that killer crust with a stout mixture of chicken and chunky veggies.

With the expertly executed shepherd’s pie, you could feed three to four people, topping the feast with slices of dessert pie.

Take heed, however. Daily inventory is limited. Don’t count on your favorite pie to be available on a weeknight and especially on a weekend evening.

Most days, a handful of items are sold out by mid-afternoon. On some days, the majority of the menu is gone by dinnertime. So plan ahead. Call ahead.

And don’t wait until the last minute if you’re buying a pie for a special holiday gathering. Consider yourself warned.

Real Pie Company is at 2425 24th St.; (916) 838-4007; realpiecompany.com.
