At 15, I was nowhere near as poised in talking to adults as I am now. I’ve learned that many people are eager to help others, if you approach them. ” While still in knee socks, Kong was blessed to have parents who took their little girl to shows. As a high school freshman, she founded her On Broadway project to allow other youngsters to share the joys of theater. She dispatched letters to persuade friends and family to help buy tickets. “It was a really hard letter for me to formulate,” she recalled. “I was only 14; I didn’t know anything about soliciting for funds. I went through so many drafts.” Apparently, she nailed it. In Since the age of 14, Lara Kong has fundraised to share theater experiences with other teenagers. the first season of a project that has lasted throughout her high school career, sponsors provided $25,000 and Kong joined her adolescent army on the first of many dates.

No-Cost Feline Spay and Neuter Services To address cat overpopulation, no-cost spay and neuter services are being offered for a limited time for owned or feral cats throughout the entire Sacramento County area. By making this no-cost service available to all of Sacramento County area residents, the Department of Animal Care and Regulation believes it can spay or neuter well over 2,000 animals in 2015. The goal is to help address unwanted litters and lost or stray animals coming into the shelter, reduce euthanasia rates, and help folks who want to do the right thing as responsible pet owners but are financially challenged. The free no-cost spay and neuter services are available by appointment only at the Animal Spay and Neuter Clinic (a non-profit, highvolume animal spay/neuter clinic) next to the County’s Bradshaw Animal Shelter at 3839 Bradshaw Road or in Auburn at 3524 KOA Way. To make an appointment, call the clinic at (916) 368-7314 or (530) 889-8800 for the Auburn location. This free service is being funded by the clinic, Sacramento County, donations from Friends of the Sacramento City Animal Shelter, Teaching Everyone Animals Matter (TEAM), and LAPCATS. What Are Your Road Priorities? Do you want potholes fixed, traffic signals synchronized, or new bridges or roadways built? Through its SacramentoGO outreach program, the Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA)— which manages the Sacramento County Measure A half-cent sales tax for transportation—is looking for public input to help determine future countywide transportation priorities. The Measure A program has helped deliver crucially needed road maintenance, signal system upgrades, and traffic safety improvements to our region’s transportation system. In addition, Measure A has provided funding for widening and intersection improvements along Watt, Sunrise, and Hazel avenues; “complete street” upgrades on Fulton Avenue as well as on Sunrise, Folsom, and Fair Oaks boulevards; and much more.

Story and photo by Molly Townsend CARMICHAEL, CA (MPG) - David Peterson has always known he wanted to be an artist. He is eager to share his enthusiasm for art with others who come to explore their talent at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center (SFAC) where he has volunteered for 15 years. Painting places and subjects that he is familiar with, Peterson describes his style as “fast and loose” California style, and he has painted over 2,700 watercolors to date. Peterson draws inspiration from the works of California watercolor painter George Post (1906-1997), Japanese American artist Chiura Obata (1885-1975), and American modernist artist John Marin (1870-1953) who is known for his abstract landscapes and watercolors. Although primarily selftaught, Peterson has taken classes from such prominent watercolor artists as Henry Fukuhara (1913-2010), Kenneth Potter (1926-2011), and Woody Hansen. As programs director of SFAC, located at 5330B Gibbons Drive in Carmichael, Peterson said, “It’s been very beneficial to give everything I have to this organization, because everything I give, I get back.” Peterson loves to meet and greet visitors that come to tour the center and strives to be as available as possible to answer questions and help coordinate events. Now that Peterson is programs director he is able to spend more time at the center and in the community doing outreach, which he prefers. Open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., SFAC is a California nonprofit corporation established jointly by independent art clubs to enrich the cultural life of the community. Memberships, sales, gallery rentals, and fundraisers keep the center in operation. Four clubs meet monthly at the arts center: Watercolor Artists of Sacramento Horizons (WASH), Fine Arts Photography Club, Northern California Arts (all media, all styles), and the Fiber Arts Group. The annual membership fee for these clubs ranges from $20 to $25. Peterson’s favorite event is the Tuesday night open studio where artists of all media come to hone their craft together without instruction between 4 and 9 p.m. According to Peterson, SFAC now has more than 300 volunteers, varying month to month, and had a grand total of 6,176 volunteer hours logged in 2014. Administrative director Sharon Drysdale said of Peterson, “He’s got a wonderful work ethic...he comes in early, some days he stays late. He’s really good about just jumping in with anything that needs to be done.” Peterson puts in an excess of 40 hours a week of volunteer time both at the arts center and at home. He stopped working as a pre-press technician at a large print shop a few years into volunteering at SFAC and has kept busy ever since. “No retirement for me,” said Peterson. As for the rather obscure location of the center, Drysdale said, “I hear people come in on a daily basis and say, ‘I had no idea you guys were here.’” The 7,000-square-foot building holds an office; three small galleries; a gift shop, which sells local artists’ hand-crafted jewelry, scarves, pottery, and ornaments; 2/28, 10am-noon, ages 3-7 (Parent Participation Required) Register by 2/20!

Co-sponsored by the San Juan Unified School District (SJUSC) and the Carmichael Kiwanis Club, the annual festival provides a venue for students to show off their talents in a non-competitive environment. Festival organizer and namesake Wayne Reimers enjoys the sounds of jazz at the 2015 Kiwanis Wayne Reimers Jazz Festival at Rio Americano High School. Mission Avenue Elementary sixth-grader Elias Bevan (front right) plays the trombone with Matthew Taylor on tenor saxophone and Grace Eastlick on trumpet at the 2015 Kiwanis Wayne Reimers Jazz Festival at Rio Americano High School. Senior Shelia T. warms up on the tenor saxophone before the Bella Vista Jazz Band performs at the 2015 Kiwanis Wayne Reimers Jazz Festival at Rio Americano High School. “The idea was to give all the bands in San Juan [Unified School District] a chance to come out and play for their peers and listen to other schools within the district,” explained event organizer Wayne Reimers. “The festival was founded on a non-competitive basis so we do not judge them or place them. Everybody, we hope, gets a positive experience out of this.” Fourteen bands from local elementary, middle, and high schools came together to put on a show for their peers and jazz up their own performance skills at the same time. Musical clinicians were on hand to observe performances, give bands feedback, and educate students on the historical context of the Mission Avenue Elementary sixth-grade pianist Dylan Joelson performs with the Next Gen Jazz band at the 2015 Kiwanis Wayne Reimers Jazz Festival at Rio Americano High School. jazz genre.

Wayne Reimers, a retired educator, has been sharing his love of music with students for over 50 years. Having participated in many band competitions over the years, Reimers was looking for a way to better foster students’ appreciation for jazz music. “We participated in several of the bigger festivals like Reno [and] down in the Bay Area. It was all competitive. And it was exciting in a way but very stressful,” he explained. “When we started this, we didn’t want to have that particular type of stress among the teachers and the kids. We wanted them to come out and have a good time. The festival is put together so they can come together, enjoy themselves, and get some jazz education in the meantime.

Music director Mica Dugan, who brought several student bands from Mission Avenue Open Elementary School, agrees, explaining that “music is important for kids’ education because it allows them and teaches them to be creative and to be able to think critically, both in the real world and in the classroom.” H Bella Vista senior Ashley Emerson plays a trumpet solo at the 2015 Kiwanis Wayne Reimers Jazz Festival at Rio Americano High School. 4 • Carmichael Times January 30, 2015 CBR Quarterly Business Luncheon with Shark Tank’s Chris Johnson SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - Fresh from the Shark Tank, entrepreneur Chris Johnson shares what it’s like to make a $300,000 deal with shark Mark Cuban.

Much more important than solidarity and unity -- stirring as those things are, exemplified in the massive march in Paris -- would be a dose of honesty and realism on this issue. The case of France is stark. Roughly 12 percent of its population is foreignborn, about the European average, according to the Migration Policy Institute. But it also has a particularly high percentage of descendants of immigrants. Because of France’s colonial history in Algeria and other countries in the Maghreb, many of them are Muslim. It has the largest Muslim population of any Western European country, both in absolute numbers and in percentage terms. These immigrants have tended to cluster in the suburbs of Paris, where they have become self-reinforcing religioethnic islands in the broader French sea. These areas are not just alienated from the French state; they are actively hostile to it. Although France’s problem has peculiarly French characteristics, a version of the Paris attacks easily could have happened in Britain, Sweden, the Netherlands or Germany. They, too, have Muslim populations that, in THE RICH LOWRY COLUMN By Rich Lowry Europe’s Problem With Immigration The New York Times ran a front-page article after the Charlie Hebdo massacre on Europe’s “dangerous moment.” As terrorists rampaged through Paris, ultimately killing 17, what was the cause of this particular alarm? That antiimmigration parties in Europe might gain. The Times article captured perfectly the reaction of polite opinion to the Paris attacks, which is driven almost as much by fear that someone might notice that Europe has an immigration problem as it is by fear of the terrorism itself. Europe’s anti-immigration parties run the gamut, from the loathsome (Greece’s Golden Dawn), to the unsavory (France’s National Front), to the more or less respectable (Britain’s UKIP). What they all have in common is that they benefit LOCCAALL NNEEW WSS?? GGOOTT LO The Perfecnt ! Combinatio some areas, haven’t fully integrated. Why does the United States not have the same problem (although it has experienced its own homegrown attacks)? Its assimilationist machinery, for all its flaws, is in better working order. It is an open, economically dynamic society. But this is partly a function of numbers. Immigrants to the U.S. still largely come from Christian countries and don’t feel the powerful pull of a religious identity putting them at odds with their new country. This is a rather basic point: The quantity of immigration inevitably affects the quality of assimilation. The elite’s reflex on immigration is always to say “more.” The populations of many European countries want to say “less.” Their case is stronger after the horrors of the last week, although much intellectual and political energy will be devoted to denying that the Paris attacks had anything to do with immigration or Islam. Addressing a long-ago crisis in Athens, Demosthenes said of those demanding to know his alternative, “I will first give them this answer -- the most just and true of all -- ‘Do not do what you are doing now.’” On immigration, that is the counsel that Europe needs to hear, and to heed.

Explore. Discover. The heart of the cohousing neighborhood is a central clubhouse, which typically includes a dining room, kitchen, and other amenities. Photo courtesy of McCamant and Durrett Architects By Marty Maskall SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - Fair Oaks, CA (MPG) - Charles Durrett, architect and international expert on cohousing, will give a public presentation at 7 p.m. on Saturday, February 7th at the Fair Oaks Library, 11601 Fair Oaks Blvd. Durrett, an award-winning architect, is currently designing the latest addition to the local cohousing communities: Fair Oaks EcoHousing on Fair Oaks Boulevard near New York Avenue. The presentation will provide an overview of the national cohousing movement, with examples of communities that have been built around the country over the last two decades, including Southside Park Cohousing in Sacramento, Nevada City Cohousing, and Wolf Creek Lodge in Grass Valley. Cohousing neighborhoods are composed of privately owned homes clustered around shared open space and common facilities. A central clubhouse—the heart of the neighborhood—typically includes a dining room, kitchen, lounge, workshop space, kid’s playroom, and guest rooms. Cars are kept to the edge of the site, thus making the neighborhood pedestrian-friendly and safe for children. Future residents are involved in the design and development of their new community so it reflects their needs and priorities, creating a truly custom neighborhood. Architects and authors Charles Durrett and Kathryn McCamant introduced cohousing to North America in the 1980s with their seminal book, Cohousing: A Contemporary Approach to Housing Ourselves, after studying the movement in Denmark. There are now more than 130 housing communities in the U.S. and Canada. Together, McCamant and Durrett, a husband-and-wife team, have worked on over 50 cohousing projects. They now live in Nevada City Cohousing. Admission to the public presentation is free. For more information on cohousing, visit www.FairOaksEcoHousing.org. H To the delight of the greater Sacramento area community, 25-five local museums will offer free or half-priced admission from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, February 7th during the 17th Annual Sacramento Museum Day. During the highly anticipated event, most of the nearly 25 museums will offer free admission while two additional destinations located in residential areas — the Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale Town — will offer halfpriced admission to offset traffic control and security costs. Coordinated by the Sacramento Association of Museums (SAM) and the Sacramento Convention & Visitors Bureau, Sacramento Museum Day is a popular cultural tradition designed to encourage all members of the community to experience the capital city’s incredible wealth of art, history, science, and wildlife at little or no cost. Many of the museums are within walking distance of each other and easily accessible via public transportation. Event coordinators suggest that guests plan to visit no more than two or three different museums throughout the day in order to allow adequate time to enjoy the experience and to travel between individual sites. In addition to offering free or reduced cost admission, many of the destinations are offering special activities during Sacramento Museum Day. These offers include an open cockpit day at the Aerospace Museum of California where most aircraft will be open for viewing (weather permitting). The Aerospace Museum will also hold a children’s art contest. Also, the Masonic Service Bureau will be onsite at the Discovery Museum Science & Space Center, providing free electronic fingerprints of children for their parents while the Sacramento History Museum will offer hands-on gold panning activities for kids, and the crowd favorite Sacramento Children’s Museum mascot, Leo, will make special appearances throughout the day. The Old Sacramento Schoolhouse Museum will get into the spirit by serving cake to celebrate the birthday of Laura Ingalls Wilder and marking the anniversary of Sacramento’s first public school in February 1854. “Every year is unique and offers new discoveries for guests to explore on Sacramento Museum Day,” said Sacramento Association of Museums Chair Kristina Swanson. “With a variety of participating museums located from Woodland to Roseville, we’re pleased to introduce interested community members to the amazing array of arts, culture, and museum offerings available in the greater Sacramento region.” While admission will be free at most of the participating museums during Sacramento Museum Day, admission to two destinations located in residential areas are half priced as follows: Sacramento Zoo will cost $6 for adults, $4 for children ages 2-11, and free for children under two; Fairytale Town is $2.75 per person and free for children ages one and under. Due to the popularity of Sacramento Museum Day, some locations must limit the number of admissions for safety reasons. The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. but the last guests will be admitted to museums at 4 p.m. More detailed information about participating museums, addresses, limitations, suggested parking, and public transit options are available at www.sacmuseums.org (click on “Events”) or by calling the Sacramento Convention & Visitors Bureau at (916) 808-7777. “We’d like to thank our new sponsors—Bank of America and Sacramento Covered—for helping us to present this important event and introduce the community to the amazing array of arts, culture, and museum offerings available in the greater Sacramento region,” said Swanson. Sacramento Museum Day 2015 is also supported by active and engaged media partners including KSEG 96.9 FM, Outword Media, and STAR 106.5 FM.

The IRS has seen a surge of these phone scams in recent months as scam artists threaten police arrest, deportation, license revocation, and other things. The IRS reminds taxpayers to guard against all sorts of con games that arise during any filing season. “If someone calls unexpectedly claiming to be from the IRS with aggressive threats if you don’t pay immediately, it’s a scam artist calling,” said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. “The first IRS contact with taxpayers is usually through the mail. Taxpayers have rights, and this is not how we do business.” The Dirty Dozen is compiled annually by the IRS and lists a variety of common scams taxpayers may encounter any time during the year. Many of these con games peak during filing season as people prepare their tax returns or hire someone to do so. This year, for the first time, the IRS will issue the individual Dirty Dozen scams one at a time to raise consumer awareness. Phone scams top the list this year because it has been a persistent and pervasive problem for many taxpayers for many months. Scammers are able to alter caller ID numbers to make it look like the IRS is calling. They use fake names and bogus IRS badge numbers. They often leave “urgent” callback requests. They prey on the most vulnerable people, such as the elderly, newly arrived immigrants, and those whose first language is not English. Scammers have been known to impersonate agents from IRS Criminal Investigation as well. “These criminals try to scare and shock you into providing personal financial information on the spot while you are off guard,” Koskinen said. “Don’t be taken in and don’t engage these people over the phone.” The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) has received reports of roughly 290,000 contacts since October 2013 and has become aware of nearly 3,000 victims who have collectively paid over $14 million as a result of the scam, in which individuals make unsolicited calls to taxpayers fraudulently claiming to be IRS officials and demanding that they send them cash via prepaid debit cards. Protect Yourself As telephone scams continue across the country, the IRS recently put out a new YouTube video with a renewed warning to taxpayers not to be fooled by imposters posing as tax agency representatives. The new Tax Scams video describes some basic tips to help protect taxpayers from tax scams. These callers may demand money or may say you have a refund due and try to trick you into sharing private information. These con artists can sound convincing when they call. They may know a lot about you. The IRS reminds people that there are easy ways to tell that a supposed IRS caller is a fake. Here are five things the scammers often do but the IRS will never do; any one of these five things is a tell-tale sign of a scam: The IRS will never call to demand immediate payment, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill. The IRS will never demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe. The IRS will never require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card. The IRS will never ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone. The IRS will never threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying. If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and asking for money, here’s what you should do: If you know you owe taxes or think you might owe, call the IRS at (800) 829-1040. The IRS workers can help you with a payment issue. If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to believe that you do, report the incident to the TIGTA at (800) 366-4484 or at www.tigta.gov. If you’ve been targeted by this scam, also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at www.FTC.gov. Please add “IRS Telephone Scam” to the comments of your complaint. Remember, too, the IRS does not use email, text messages, or any social media to discuss your personal tax issue involving bills or refunds. For more information on reporting tax scams, go to www.irs.gov and type “scam” in the search box. Additional information about tax scams is available on IRS social media sites, including YouTube at www.youtube.com/ irsvideos and Tumblr at www. internalrevenueservice.tumblr. com, where people can search “scam” to find all the scamrelated posts.

The new allocation replaces the initial allocation of 10% announced on December 1st. With the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, operator of the Central Valley Project (CVP), DWR also submitted a drought contingency plan to state regulators today that highlights potential modifications to water quality rules and water rights permits that project operators may seek, depending on the weather. The early submittal of the plan to the State Water Resources Control Board reflects an unprecedented level of coordination and planning among the state and federal agencies that either operate water projects based in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta or regulate those projects. Tight coordination in recent months allowed the projects to store storm runoff without violating statutory and regulatory obligations to protect water quality and wildlife. A few storms reached California last month, but there have been none since December 21st. It will take sustained levels of significant snow and rain to ease the drought, now in its fourth year. Water conservation by residents and businesses across the state remains critically important. Since the December rains, more than 450,000 acre-feet (AF) of water have been moved into San Luis Reservoir, a critical south-of-Delta pool for both the SWP and the federal CVP. Both projects have ready access to this increased storage south of the Delta to meet their contractors’ needs. The 29 public water agencies that take delivery of SWP supplies have requested 4,172,686 AF. With the new allocation, contractors will receive 626,781 AF. If the contractors’ health and safety needs cannot be met by that allocation, DWR may increase deliveries to satisfy those needs. An acre-foot is roughly enough water to meet the needs of a family of four for one year. Increased storage in the state’s major reservoirs gave DWR’s water managers confidence they can deliver the higher allocation. Lake Oroville, the SWP’s principal reservoir, held 828,220 AF on November 21st. The lake’s storage today is 1,396,535 AF, an increase of nearly 570,000 AF. Nevertheless, Oroville’s average storage for this date is more than 2,234,000 AF, so the current storage is only 62% of average for mid-January. DWR Director Mark Cowin said although allocations have been increased, the current divergence from average conditions due to the drought makes water conservation as important as ever. “We cannot stress enough,” he said, “that water conservation will be critical in stretching our supplies to the maximum extent possible throughout the coming year.” Cowin noted that dry conditions have been the norm since the December storms. Northern California has had virtually no rain for the past three weeks, and the near-term weather forecast predicts little if any precipitation. The Sierra snowpack, normally an important source of water during the summer and fall, today has a statewide water equivalent of only 4.9 inches, just 36% of normal for January 15th. One year ago, DWR reduced its initial allocation to contractors of five% to zero, the first ever such allocation for all SWP contractors. Storms in February and March allowed managers to increase the allocation back up to five%. The only previous zero allocation in the 54-year history of the SWP was for agriculture in 1991, but cities and others that year received 30% of requested amounts. The final SWP allocation for calendar year 2013 was 35% of requested water amounts. In 2012, the final allocation was 65%. It was 80% in 2011, up dramatically from an initial allocation of 25%. The final allocation was 50% in 2010, 40% in 2009, 35% in 2008, and 60% in 2007. The last 100% allocation— difficult to achieve even in wet years because of Delta pumping restrictions to protect threatened and endangered fish species—was in 2006. California’s Water Year 2014— overlapping with California’s driest calendar year of 2013— was the third driest in 119 years of record, based on statewide precipitation. When Water Year 2014 ended on September 30th, the state’s reservoirs tracked by DWR collectively held only 60% of average storage for the date, or 41% of capacity. Cumulative reservoir storage on the same date in the deep drought year of 1977 was five million AF less, but California had 16 million fewer people in 1977. Lake Oroville in Butte County is at 39% of its 3.5 million acrefoot capacity. Shasta Lake north of Redding, California’s and the CVP’s largest reservoir, is at 42% of its 4.5 million acre-foot capacity (66% of its historical average for mid-January). San Luis Reservoir currently holds 47% of its 2 million AF capacity (65% of average for today’s date). In January 2014, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. declared a drought state of emergency and issued statewide water conservation goals. The state recorded 5,620 fires during calendar year 2014 resulting in 90,606 acres burned, about 1,000 fires more than the annual average of the preceding five years. Vast tracts of farmland have been fallowed and some communities have been short on drinking water. Long-range weather forecasts are uncertain, and it’s not known whether this winter will alleviate or deepen the drought, leaving conservation efforts as California’s most reliable drought management tool.

The network chiefs fully realize that FOX now languishes in fourth place and its ratings are challenged, but nonetheless Newman expressed optimism, noting the way to turn things around is to “do the hard work, get in business with the best talent, support their visions, focus on one time period at a time.” Though the hip-hop music industry drama “Empire” just recently debuted, the network chiefs were only too pleased to inform the winter gathering of the nation’s TV critics in sunny Pasadena that the freshman show has already been renewed for a second season. Not all is bleak at FOX as “Gotham” has proved to be one of the rare hits that keeps growing its audience, while the wacky dysfunctional crew in New York’s 99th police precinct in “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” now in its second season, delivers one of the true bright spots in the comedy lineup. “Bones” has been on the air longer than anyone can remember, and the fact that Hart Hanson, the creator of that series, is hoping for another knockout success with the comedic crime procedural “Backstrom” is not out of the realm of possibility, even though it may be a challenge for a series to thrive where the central character is so patently unlovable. Loosely based on a series of books written by Swedish author Leif GW Persson, “Backstrom” is an Americanized version of a subversive crime procedural in which the titular character is an offensive, irascible and unhealthy detective who just happens to see the worst in everyone as he goes about the business of solving crimes. Lt. Everett Backstrom, played effortlessly by Rainn Wilson, who managed to torment his colleagues in the long-running series “The Office” as an obsessive paper salesman, has returned from disgrace to lead Portland’s newly-minted Special Crimes Unit, which is tasked with navigating the city’s most sensitive and serious cases. Oddly enough, Backstrom seems to be completely incapable of handling sensitive matters of any kind. This is a man with no filter, taking an offensive attitude to a new level with his persistently loutish behavior. An unrepentant misogynist, Backstrom has no qualms about expressing sexist and racist opinions. The interesting dynamic is that, though Backstrom doesn’t play well with others, the outlandish detective must work with a diverse team of colleagues, from the idealistic young female detective Nicole Gravely (Genevieve Angelson) to veteran case-closer and part-time pastor Sgt. John Almond (Dennis Haysbert). Backstrom is not only grumpy and ornery, but he’s been given orders by his doctor to “make a friend” so as to improve his health. Well, he’s also told to eat more vegetables, and neither instruction is likely to be followed. If Backstrom has any friend at all, it may be his roommate Gregory Valentine (Thomas Dekker), a weird character in his own right, who appears to be the detective’s connection to the seedy underworld of Portland flowing with drugs and prostitution. Other colleagues in Backstrom’s orbit include the quirky forensics expert Sgt. Peter Niedermayer (Kristoffer Polaha), good-guy Officer Frank Moto (Page Kennedy), and civilian informant Nadia (Beatrice Rosen), a Russian native oddly well-connected. The success of “Backstrom” seemingly depends on the ability of Rainn Wilson’s character to be funny enough with his sarcasm and quips so that he’s not completely eclipsed by the detective’s offensive behavior. He’s not so politely described as coming from a nether region. I doubt anyone would really want to knock back several beers with Everett Backstrom. After all, he’s not likable. The challenge for the series will be its ability to sustain ongoing interest in the flawed detective’s sleuthing. For now, “Backstrom” deserves a chance for several viewings. At the press tour conference, Rainn Wilson, dutifully trying to sell the series, observed that he found his character more interesting because his life is falling apart and that he would rather “hang out with that person than a slick procedural detective who’s got all the answers.” Later in the conference, Wilson asked the audience to “take a little ride with us.” Admitting his character is a jerk, Wilson noted that we will learn “some really interesting things about him and his coping mechanisms, about his family.” Again, the challenge for “Backstrom” is finding an audience willing to hang in for the 13 episodes for the arc of the darkly comic story that is unknowable at this point.

There, that’s out of the way. The titular John (Keanu Reeves) is a legendary hit man dealing with the loss of his wife to terminal illness. A blundering mafia prince (Alfie Allen) interrupts John’s healing process by breaking into his home, beating him and killing his puppy -- the puppy given to John by his late wife.

At 15, I was nowhere near as poised in talking to adults as I am now. I’ve learned that many people are eager to help others, if you approach them.” Knowing the healing power of music—particularly for children from troubled homes— Kong hopes college will prepare her for a career in music therapy. She also hopes that, with or without her management, her On Broadway project will continue. “It’s a lot of work, “said the wunderkind. “But I’d be sad to see it end.

Most of our small, brotherly group —- scattered around Northern California by the forces of the passing of time —- had made a pilgrimage, of sorts, to “sit simply in that room again.” We gathered together to share the choicest moments of a Golden Age. It was the wish from Bob Dylan’s Dream come true —- for just a few unforgettable hours. If any of us had had the money, we would have given “ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat” to be there to share an everlasting memory. Based in a joy for the game we had shared and loved, followed and watched and played many times together through four years —- for a day, the little room was our basketball mecca. The game had been one of the many things that had joined us together and bound us at our core, for a space in time. For an improbable climax to the 1974-75 NBA season, and to the surprise of the entire basketball world, “our” team of Warriors was only four quarters away from a crowning achievement —- a world championship, a Golden State Age. The Golden State Warriors finished that regular season with a Western Conference-best record of 48-34, and survived hotlycontested playoff series over the Seattle SuperSonics (remember them?) and the powerful Chicago Bulls to reach the finals. They went into it as heavy underdogs that were predicted to be swept away by the dominant Washington Bullets (60-22), that had beaten the Boston Celtics (also, 60-22) to get there, led by point guard Kevin Porter, All-Star guard Phil Chenier (Cal), and two huge future Hall of Fame front court men in Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld. The Warriors were comprised of the great HOF forward Rick Barry (No. 24, in honor of Willie Mays), who was named MVP of the series, averaging 29.5 ppg., and a bunch of other guys. Led by coach Al Attles, the other guys —- older veterans Jeff Mullins and Bill Bridges; younger veterans Butch Beard and Clifford Ray; young guards with Bay Area roots, Charles Johnson (Cal) and Phil Smith (a rookie from USF); rookie forward Jamaal Wilkes (UCLA); youngsters Derrek Dickey (“double-D”) and Charles Dudley (“Hopper”), and long and lean 6-11 shot-blocker George Johnson —- were key. Attles was considered a pioneer in the tactics of using all of the players on the roster as instrumental pieces of the team’s success on the floor throughout the season and even into the playoffs, when most coaches typically reduce the number and minutes of players in their rotations during games. Shockingly, the Warriors won the first three games of the series by a combined total of 15 points. Two of those wins came at the Cow Palace in Daly City, because there was so little faith in the Warriors ever advancing so far that their home court, the Oakland Coliseum, was booked up with other events and the games had to be moved. We sat watching and bemoaning the events of the early minutes of the finale, as the Warriors trailed by ten points at the end of the first quarter. While Barry struggled, at times, and Attles was ultimately ejected from the game after drawing a pair of technical fouls for complaining about the atrocious officiating (inducing, as was our custom, a flurry of rolled-up, dirty socks thrown across the room at the TV screen), it was the team’s depth that kept them close and able to pull the game out in the closing minutes. The Warriors’ bench players outscored the Bullets’ bench, 32-8, as they held on for a 96-95 win and a 4-0 sweep of their own in what is still considered by many (40 years later) to be the biggest upset in the history of sports —- still the W’s one and only title since moving west from Philadelphia in 1962. But, what have we here?! Could that change this season? Are this year’s Warriors a team of destiny? In much the same manner as that championship team, the 201415 W’s are complimenting their star guards tandem of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson by using their deep and productive roster to sustain unparalleled success thus far during the regular season, as the team is on a record-setting pace with an NBA best record of 36-6 through Sunday’s win over Boston. Several days ago, a Warriors game was televised on one station, while a Sacramento Kings game, simultaneously, was on another —clicking back and forth, it was a ready-made study in contrasts. If the Warriors’ style is one that the Kings’ brass —- owner Vivek Ranadive, general manager Pete D’leasandro and three other members of the basketball operations staff, Chris Mullin, Mitch Richmond and Mike Bratz (all five with former ties to the Warriors) —- wants to emulate, they have a long way to go. Good luck, fellas. Hope you see it in your lifetime. In one game, the Kings were jacking up jump shot after jump shot, while the Brooklyn Nets were making lay-up after lay-up. The Nets scored twenty points in the paint while building a 36-24 lead after one quarter, eliciting boos from the Kings’ home court fans. The fans have seen the show before —- for the last decade, or so. The Kings reached the playoffs eight straight seasons ending in 2005-06, but haven’t been close since. Beleaguered interim coach Tyrone Corbin watched as the Nets’ lead grew to twenty points in the second quarter. The Kings rallied, but true to their form they couldn’t close the deal. Again, it was too little, too late. When defeat was assured in the waning seconds, along came the all-too-familiar refrain from Kings broadcaster Grant Napier, “That should do it.” On the other channel, the “Splash Brothers” were doing their thing and center Andrew Bogut was stuffing Dwight Howard twice in a row while the fans in the 103rd consecutive sellout at Oracle Arena were going wild. First-year coach Steve Kerr confidently watched his team build a twenty-point lead by the half on the strength of 21 fast break points, while holding the Houston Rockets to 30-percent shooting. The Warriors had been as bad, or worse, than the Kings for some time (generations of fans of the two have had few golden moments), but the most recent influx of talent in Oakland has evolved into, possibly, the best team in the league. The W’s are the top-rated offensive and defensive team, and rank at, or near the top, in most statistical categories, while the fast-fading Kings do not. It came as no surprise that the Warriors ran out to an early big lead when the two teams faced each other last Friday, 26-8, six minutes in. To the Kings’ credit, they rallied again to a tie-score early in the third quarter, but Klay Thompson was suddenly “on fire!” and scored an NBA-record 37 points in the third period in an unbelievable, all-time shooting display (13-for-13, including 9-for-9 from three-point range). The Warriors won going away, 126-101. The Warriors are on their way; the Kings are going away. H LEGAL ADS FOR SACRAMENTO COUNTY?
