▪️ EAST SAC HOME BECOMES A MAGNET FOR THIS FAMILY
East Sacramento pulls you back.
Noelle Dear and her husband Ben joined the returnees. “As our family grew, we both decided East Sac was the best place we could be,” Noelle says. The family has two children, ages 5 and 14 months, with Noelle’s parents just a few blocks away. The couple moved from the Bay Area in 2020 and loved the charm of the 46th Street home they purchased and remodeled. Designer Ricki Stevens helped create a master plan to add some modern touches. The home, built in 1938, was 2,581 square feet. It’s now almost 3,000. During the remodel, the family lived with Noelle’s parents. They moved into their new home about a year ago. “The perfect time to be on the Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour this month,” Noelle says. “We reconfigured the entire upstairs,” Stevens says. “We added a laundry room, previously in the basement, and two bedrooms with their own bathrooms.” With space from a former balcony off the bedroom, they created a generous primary bedroom with large bathroom and walk-in closet. “Downstairs we reconfigured the existing kitchen, using some existing cabinets and adding new where needed,” Noelle says. “The family room fireplace received a facelift, and we used the original built-in niches, just making them more functional by adding more depth to the shelves. “We also created a larger entry facing the street, added a front courtyard and walkway from street to the front door,” Stevens says. The original entry faced the driveway and lacked a formal walkway to the front door. The house received new doors and windows, paint, lighting, plumbing and stucco. “We refinished the floors and added new where needed to match original,” Stevens says.

Warm Wishes
Spread joy and warmth to homebound seniors this holiday season. Project Warm Wishes, an annual program by Meals on Wheels, is underway. Project Warm Wishes improves the quality of life for local seniors, helping them stay in their homes by providing nutritious meals and social interaction. Meals are available to qualified seniors ages 60 and up. Around Christmas, another goal is to keep those seniors warm. Inspiration comes from a small group of friends who made it their mission to make handmade yarn items for community organizations whose clients need warm accessories. In the past decade, the group donated hundreds of scarves, hats, lap blankets and other items to the Union Gospel Mission, the ACC Senior Services annual craft and bake sale, military veterans and Meals on Wheels. Nancy Wai-Watanabe, a former teacher with Sacramento City Unified, is part of this tight-knit (I couldn’t resist) group. Spread joy and warmth to homebound seniors this holiday season.

It’s not easy to get a state agency to do what you want, especially when the request involves breaking rules and ignoring precedents and safety concerns. But somehow, property owners near the Sacramento River levee turned the Central Valley Flood Protection Board
into an ally. They convinced the flood board’s top bureaucrat to authorize temporary fences that block public access to the levee. They persuaded Executive Officer Christopher Lief to apparently violate the California Code of Regulations and approve the fences without public notice or board approval. Finally, they pulled three other public agencies and two state legislators into
the controversy, turning them into accessories. A four-month investigation by Inside Sacramento discovered friendly relationships between several property owners and flood board staff soon after the flood agency underwent leadership changes this year. But the investigation hasn’t answered one big question:
Why would a state flood agency suddenly bow to a group of property owners? Emails obtained under freedom of information requests reveal flood board staff used collegial, first-name references for property owners near the levee who acted as go-between for neighbors. The residents met with flood inspectors, spoke on behalf of fence contractors and handled the $500 fees required for fence authorizations. “I have left the checks in Wendy’s cubicle underneath her keyboard. She will process next time she’s in,” flood board engineer Dennis Bartolome tells his boss, Selva Selvamohan, Sacramento levee chief, in an email, after receiving fee payments from residents. Bartolome explains one resident “mentioned to me that the contractors had to slightly maneuver the fence… Hence the zig-zag configuration.” FULL STORY InsideSacramento.com search "Cozy Relations" #insidesacramento #sacramento #sacramento365 #meadowviewpocket
