Arts and Entertainment: Rancho Cordova is known as the "City of Events" and houses one of the best Art Complex in our region The MACC. The City has its own orchestra, Symphony D'oro, a Swing Dance Band, a Black Box Theatre, and features one of the largest July 4th fireworks displays in the region, and a whole slate of large outdoor events. Every month Director/ Curator of The MACC, Cheryl Gleason speaks to visual artists, musicians, actors, theatre groups as well as other notable influencers in the art scene in the Sacramento Region. It is not uncommon to hear people marvel at the explosion of the arts in Rancho Cordova, and for good reason. Where ever you go in our city, you are likely to experience a bit of art – whether painted on the side of a utility box, as music heard wafting through a grocery store or enjoyed during a casual wander through the Mills Station Arts and Culture Center.  It's true that the arts have continued to grow in Rancho Cordova in so many ways that it is easy to forget that it has been only 10 years since this spark was ignited, and how the wonderful Marsha Mason has guided it to success.  Marsha brought a background as a landscape architect with experience running large programs in the public sector to Rancho Cordova's newborn arts movement back in 2012. She was CEO of Sites Pacific, Inc., a landscape architectural firm specializing in public works projects and visual impact assessments. She taught landscape architecture courses as a lecturer at U.C. Davis. Marsha served as President of the Sierra Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects, was a founder of WalkSacramento.  Those skills all come together in 2012 as Marsha joined a small group of local artists to work with the Cordova Community Council to form what has become known as “Rancho Cordova Arts.” That year, the first City Hall exhibit launched with a fine art exhibit of local artists aptly named “Genesis.”  Most artists are content – and prefer -- to simply work on their art, but Marsha is not like most artists. Understanding the importance of having an organization of people committed to an artistic future, she rolled up her sleeves to accomplish less glamourous foundational tasks like creating a non-profit organization, developing a website, creating a newsletter and focusing artistic energy in the community to produce memorable art events.

In this episode of the Planned Solutions Incorporated Podcast, The second-quarter earnings season, in which companies report their results for the second quarter, will be picking up steam soon. The results will likely have a significant impact on stock returns for the remainder of the year as investors assess how companies are dealing with inflation, rising interest rates, and concerns about economic growth. In addition, the number and amount of negative earnings adjustments that are taken this quarter may impact the overall earnings results as they have during past market downturns. Also, While the major stock indexes were down as much as 20% earlier this year there are several areas of the market where the losses have been much greater. The cryptocurrency area as well as technology companies that recently went public have experienced losses of 70-80% over the past nine months. However, many mainstream investors did not participate in these investments making their experience much different. And, The IRS recommends that taxpayers, including those who are on extension, not wait until the last minute to file their returns. The IRS is already dealing with a large backlog of returns to be processed so the sooner a taxpayer gets their return into the IRS the sooner their refund may be processed. Those who wait until the deadline may end up at “the back of the line” which could lead to a long delay in processing. Plus a look at the Planned Solutions Incorporated Office Bulletin Board- Planned Solutions sponsored and Chase and Joel played in a golf tournament in support of the Katie Nues Foundation. The Katie Nues Foundation founded the first clinic to treat children with Rett's disease on the West Coast located in Oakland, CA. The Foundation continues to fund the clinic's operations and offer support for families whose children have been diagnosed with Rett's disease.

Description: A discussion on the current state of hate crimes, the challenge with underreporting, the impact on victims and the targeted groups and what is being done today to protect the community against these crimes.  Guests are US Attorney McGregor Scott, District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert, FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Robert Tripp, Supervising Deputy DA Thien Ho, President of the Jewish Federation of the Sacramento Region Deborah Gonzalez and SALAM Islamic Center Chairman Waseem Bawa.   Show Notes:  The conversation starts with the difference between a hate activity vs. a hate crime.  If people are not sure if something is a hate crime, they should still report it and let law enforcement make that determination.   The group discusses the state of hate crimes today.  Faith leaders talk about and security measures that are now needed at houses of worship and faith-based events, and the pursuit of grants to fund additional security.   The topic turns to the impact hate crimes has on its specific victims and the targeted groups that are attacked – which is unique to hate crimes.  It’s a very personal crime against who a person is, a part of their identity.    The Hate Crimes Task Force is working to bring law enforcement and community groups together to share information and protect the region from organized and individual (lone) hate crime attacks.   Several examples are given of how law enforcement is informing and protecting the faith community and the direct, two-way open communication the Task Force has with faith and other community organizations.    The US Attorney’s Office and the District Attorney’s Office have specialized Hate Crimes Units.  Some Sacramento County stats and a fully adjudicated hate crimes case example was shared.   The group talks about the most significant challenge with hate crimes – underreporting.  Everyone agrees many hate crimes are not reported for various reasons.  They believe the key to overcoming this issue is educational outreach among faith and other community groups.   The US Attorney’s Office, District Attorney’s Office and Sacramento FBI Office all have community programs that help to educate the community about their constitutional rights and protections as well as their responsibility as a community member.     Resource Links:   https://www.justice.gov/usao-edca   http://www.sacda.org/   https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/sacramento   https://www.salamcenter.org/   http://jewishsac.org/   Follow us @SacCountyDA on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google+ and find us on YouTube.   Tags - District Attorney, Anne Marie Schubert, Justice Journal Podcast, Hate Crimes, US Attorney, McGregor Scott, Federal Bureau of Investigations, FBI, Jewish Federation of the Sacramento Region, SALAM Islamic Center, Hate Crimes Task Force

In this episode of Construction Genius, Eric sits down with Tim Murphy, CEO of the Sacramento Regional Builders Exchange. Their conversation focuses on how to solve the construction industry’s talent shortage by shifting society’s often-misplaced emphasis on a four-year college degree as the only barometer of success, and by emphasizing the opportunities in the trades now available to young people who may not be best served by the traditional college route.   Highlights include: [00:00:21] A story about Tim’s nephew, who pursued a certificate in welding and found enormous success. [00:02:32] Parents’ roles in perpetuating the college emphasis, which doesn’t serve all young people. [00:04:50] The social capital college graduates achieve with diplomas from schools like Harvard and Yale, and the need to recognize construction as an integral element to our nation’s success. [00:07:50] The ability to pursue a career in the trades and quickly be debt-free and financially successful. The increasingly urgent need in the construction industry for skilled labor. [00:09:23] Programs offered by the Builder’s Exchange that introduce and mentor high school students interested in pursuing a career in the trades. [00:13:11] A story about Eric’s son finding satisfaction in building his own IKEA bed. [00:14:46] A realistic path to career success in construction [00:16:37] Information on Cap-to-Cap, a local initiative bringing together business leaders and politicians in Washington D.C., to explore ideas for investing tax dollars back into the community. [00:17:42] The need for more workforce training funding and opportunities. [00:19:09] The often-unexpected benefits of a career in trades, like more time to spend with family.

The 4-story building includes 9,000 SF commercial on the ground floor, with a large outdoor plaza, and 27 rental units above.
