After nearly a year-and-a-half of waiting, Hakk Williams is anxious for Oct. 21 to arrive.

That’s when workers will clear out the last of the heavy machinery and chain-link fences that have lined the Fulton Mall, allowing people and cars unimpeded access to the six-block shopping district in Downtown Fresno.

That already happened earlier this month on the southern and northern blocks of the

mall, but opening the last two center blocks —

where Fashion Fair, the women’s clothing store Williams manages, is located — remains a couple of weeks away.

So close, so farThat’s still a long wait for Williams and the

rest of the operators of businesses along

Members of the African-American and Hispanic communities have been found to have a higher risk of diabetes — a trend that is being felt in the Central Valley.

One of the main causes for this problem is a higher rate of obesity among the Hispanic and African-American population. According to a finding released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 42.5 percent of Latinos in the United States and 48.1 percent of non-Hispanic black Americans are obese. This is in comparison to an obesity rate of 34.5 percent among non-Hispanic whites.

Dr. Renee Kinman, pediatric oncologist at UCSF-Fresno and Community Regional Medical Center, said this problem has extended to higher levels of childhood obesity.

“In California, they are higher in the Central Valley,” Kinman said, adding that for 9th graders, the percentage was more than 42 percent.

Kinman further added that she is now seeing diabetes cases in children that had not been seen in younger ages previously.

“It used to be it was adults, but now we’re seeing teenagers. Teenagers are now the new 50 in terms of diabetes,” she said. “You’re getting kids who are getting very adult diseases — they’re getting fatty liver, they’re getting high blood pressure, they’re getting type 2 diabetes. They’re getting them at a much earlier age than their parents.”

For the months of October, November and December, the Fresno retail market hopes an uptick in labor might take customers away from computers and phones and into stores.

While the economy is growing and consumers have not been shy about shopping, it is no mystery that the brick-and-mortar retail stores have been missing out on their share of market growth.

DAVID CASTELLON | Fulton Street in downtown Fresno, north of Mariposa Mall, has construction still underway to convert the area from a pedestrian walkway back to a street that will allow cars to pass through and park, along with sidewalks for pedestrians. City officials plan to finish the work and open the last of the closed streets on Oct. 21.

You Can’t Sell Anybody Anything — They Must Discover They Want It

.412.8178

- Sandler Rule #27

Despite what most traditional sales trainers tell us, it’s very difficult to convince people that they want or need something that they're not already asking to buy. When we try to force-sell our products or services, all we do is evoke feelings of defensiveness in our prospects. Rather than “selling-by-telling” the better strategy is to ask questions or relate third-party stories that allow a prospect to discover the benefits and advantages of your product or service for themselves.

the unopened blocks who have had to endure since April 2016 the daily effects of major construction along each of the six blocks, including dust and noise as workers ripped up the old pedestrian pathways to replace them with streets and sidewalks.

“The chain-link fences out front, it’s like I’m in a jail. I’m in a prison. It covered everything up,” Williams said of the fencing, some of it crisscrossing entire blocks to the point that merchants and people who regularly walk Fulton Mall called it “the maze.”

Between all that fencing and broken streets, “Many people think we closed or think we are going to close,” which badly cut down on foot traffic and customers.

Williams said at his store, business dropped 90 percent, and some neighboring businesses couldn’t hold out and shut down, which further hurt those who remained, as fewer shops and restaurants mean fewer people coming downtown.

Making ends meetBill Gates, who for six years has

operated Alice Shoes inside the Mammoth Mall on the Fulton Mall, said he kept afloat driving for Uber as a side job.

“But what can I do? I lost a lot of money,” he said.

Qiuyue Grier, owner of China Express, said business at her restaurant dropped from about $1,000 a day in sales to $200, and the only reason China Express didn’t close was that her brother in China sent her money.

“Oh, it was very tough [the] last year. See, we need to pay the house, the car, everything payments.”

Gaby DeAlba, a supervisor at Jalisco Jewelers, said her family didn’t have to go that far to keep their four businesses on the mall operating, as they focused on advertising, social media and cold calling previous customers to let them know they still were open, despite the construction mess out front.

Even then, she said, “sometimes, we go only two customers a day, and they were repeats.”

But she’s counting on big changes after the construction is done.

Unforeseen delaysThat work in itia l ly had been

scheduled to be finished by May of this year, but construction crews ran into delays, including heavy winter rains and the discovery of basements — some extending from buildings that currently stand on the block, some the paved-over remains of long-gone buildings — under portions of the new street and sidewalks.

Those basements had to be filled and have retaining walls built in order to support the new street and sidewalks on top of them, along with the vehicles moving on them, said Craig Scharton, interim president and CEO of the Downtown Fresno Partnership, a collaborative between businesses and building owners promoting downtown commerce and revitalization.

The renovations to Fulton Street has a budget of $22.3 million, which includes $1.3 million in infrastructure work the city did under the street at the same time. The project is being paid for mostly with a $15.9 million U.S. Department of Transportation TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) grant awarded to the City of Fresno. The rest of the money is coming from Fresno County’s Measure C sales tax proceeds and California’s gasoline tax, both earmarked to fund transportation projects, along with a $250,000 donation by the Downtown Fresno Partnership.

It’s not clear how much the delays and extra work to deal with the uncovered basements have added to the cost of the Fulton Street changes — which includes $6 million to relocate and rebuild fountains and art that had been on the pedestrian walkway — but Fresno’s Deputy City Engineer Randall

Morrison said he believes it will be covered by the more than $2 million contingency fund city leaders set aside for unexpected costs.

Righting the shipA big part of the reason for the

changes along the Fulton Mall was to draw more business after the area experienced a decline starting in the 1980s that included the exodus of major retailers JCPenney, Gottschalks, Montgomery Ward and Woolworth, along with a further decline in shoppers in recent years.

Today, 18 of the storefronts along the mall are vacant, at least five of them the direct result of lost business from the street renovations, Scharton said.

But the area is showing initial signs of a comeback, at least along the streets that have reopened.

Pamela Smith, manager of Take 3 Burgers, said that in just the first few days after her block on the south end of the mall was opened to traffic, business picked up by about 60 percent.

“People just weren’t coming down here because they didn’t have a place to park,” before the changes, she said. “So when they took the fences [down], and people were able to maneuver more, then we started seeing more [customer] traffic.”

Across the street at La Maison Kabob, restauranter Fidel Ortiz and his partner opened a couple of months ago in a vacant storefront, betting that the changes to the street would bring in a better customer base than before.

And, as he hoped, Ortiz said he also saw business spike after his block opened to traffic.

“A lot of businesses were struggling,” before the construction, he said, citing his conversations with other business owners on the block. “People had to park far away.”

“Now that the street is open, there is traffic coming through — more people walking, There is a difference,” said Ortiz, adding that he hopes business will get even better once people can drive and walk through all six blocks of Fulton Street unimpeded.

Smith agreed, saying that the changes in traffic also could result in shops and restaurants being open longer.

Drawing new customersCurrently, the businesses depend

greatly on the patronage of workers at offices and other businesses nearby, which is why foot traffic dies down considerably at 1:30 p.m., and many shops and restaurants close by 3 p.m.

Since her block opened to traffic, Smith said she’s seeing the heavier foot traffic extend to about 3 p.m. on weekdays, and if that picks up further after all the streets open, it’s possible businesses there will start extending their hours into the evenings.

In fact, at Take 3, “We plan to add dinner hours, though when hasn’t been decided.”

As for when the last two blocks open — between Fresno and Inyo streets — Mayor Lee Brand has promised to make a celebration of it, complete with planned block party and parade, at which time the district will formally lose its “mall” designation and be rechristened “Fulton Street.”

“It’s a big, historical event,” DeAlba said of the work.

And considering all that the business operators there had to endure to get to this point, she said, a parade seems appropriate.

“We don’t deserve anything less than that.”

When the City of Fresno holds its block party and parade on Oct. 21 to mark the completion of renovations to downtown’s Fulton Street, Gaby DeAlba said her family will be ready.

At Jalisco Jewelers, where she works as a supervisor, plans are to clean, paint and put up new tile on the business’ storefront, as well as to clean the electric sign out front — along with making sure it still works.

And similar plans are in place to spruce up two neighboring businesses her family owns, Passions Boutique and DeAlba Travel.

The family also owns a neighboring Mexican restaurant, Los Panchos, but the plans are more ambitious there, as construction crews are working to renovate the side of the building facing Fulton Street and create patio seating for up 40 diners before the block party, DeAlba said.

As part of that, the construction

crew also is working to determine if the old building’s face at Fulton Street and Tulare Avenue can have its façade removed to reveal the original architecture underneath.

If they can restore the front of Los Panchos, the business will be a step ahead in the next phase of efforts to elevate the desirability of the former Fulton Mall for shoppers and other visitors.

“Oh, I think it looks fantastic. We are getting great reviews from everyone. Even people who were dubious about the project think it’s great,” Craig Scharton said of the renovations to the shopping district.

As a result, the six-block downtown Fresno shopping district has been renamed “Fulton Street.”

Scharton, interim president and CEO of the Downtown Fresno Partnership, which promotes downtown commerce and revitalization, said that over the

DAVID CASTELLON | Gaby DeAlba, whose family owns four neighboring businesses on Fulton Street, shows the area where a patio for diners will be built next to her uncle’s business, Los Panchos Mexican Restaurant and Cantina at the corner of Tulare Street. Plans are to have the work done before the city of Fresno holds a parade and block party on Oct. 21 to celebrate the completion of renovations to Fulton Street.

past week representatives from his office met block by block with Fulton Street business operators to discuss what they can do to spruce up their storefronts before the Fulton Street Party on Oct. 21.”

But once that event is over and the hoopla of Fulton Street reopening is done, Scharton said work will begin on the next effort to further improve the street — trying to convince building owners to remove facades on the storefronts.

In an interview earlier this year, Scharton said the facades on Fulton Street went up mostly in the 1960s, when a movement swept the country to “modernize” buildings by covering up their original ornate architecture — some dating back to the turn of the century — with flat facades.

“It was the age of going to the moon and the Jetsons and Tomorrowland, and so they felt left behind and they wanted to keep up with modern shopping centers, so they covered up their oldness,” Scharton said in the interview as he walked down Fulton Street pointing out sections of flat walls above storefronts hiding the original ornate windows and brickwork.

“These buildings are old, and they have the historical value,” said Hakk Williams, who has worked on Fulton Street 25 years, currently as the manager of a dress shop.

Walking outside his shop, he pointed to the Helm Building across the street, noting the facades over its storefronts.

“ T h ey d e s tr oye d th e a c tu a l architectural designs of the buildings. I wish they brought back the original looks of the buildings,” Williams said, noting this isn’t something the merchants leasing space can do. That

responsibility falls to the owners of the buildings.

“Fixing up the fronts of businesses has been under discussion for awhile, but it’s not likely to happen soon, because business is so slow,” so it will be some time before owners can put much money into renovating their storefronts and stripping off building facades, DeAlba said.

“But I know the idea is there, and I know the business owners here are working on that.”

The Downtown Fresno Partnership has obtained some small grants to help businesses on Fulton Street renovate their storefronts, but such grants offering higher financial assistance to help private development are hard to come by, Scharton said.

“It’s not like a mall where somebody owns everything and can get everything done at once,” he said, adding that owners of Fulton Street buildings will do whatever improvements they want one at a time.

Scharton said he hopes city officials will offer block grants to fix up the storefronts on Fulton Street once they realize the aesthetic improvements could draw more people downtown and promote added commerce there.

“It took Pasadena 20 years to spruce up its old town neighborhoods,” said Scharton, adding that he hopes Fulton Street building owners will realize that nicer-looking buildings draw the best tenants and rents.

Ken Thorpe, chairman of the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease and a professor at Emory University, said that obesity rates since 1985 have doubled, with rates skyrocketing amongst minorities. A primary reason for the prevalent obesity rates, he said, is poverty. As Thorpe stated, households with lower incomes will tend to have diets with a higher caloric intake.

“We know that lower income families — whether it’s white, black and Hispanic — will rely more on processed foods,” Thorpe said. “Very often they have less access to fresh fruits and vegetables because of where they live.”

“So definitely diet does play a role because if you think about a typical Hispanic diet, it tends to be heavy on tortillas, beans and rice,” Dr. Kinman said, “and you don’t see many vegetables in there.”

In lower income families who are economizing, Thorpe claimed that processed foods are often seen as the more sensible choice.

“If you’re looking at allocating money to housing and transportation and other things, you tend to look for cheaper options for food,” he said.

Dr. Kinman corroborated this point further, especially in regards to Southwest Fresno, which she referred

to as a “food desert.”“So imagine you’re a Hispanic family

and you have $25 to feed your family for the week,” she said. “You can buy a big bag of rice and you can buy a big bag of beans, and you will fill up on that food.”

Dr. Kinman also added that sedentary lifestyles will further contribute to obesity in impoverished areas.

“And you look at ‘is there a place where people can play?’” She said. “You know, if you’re worried that your kid’s going to get shot, they’re not going to be going outside.”

Limited access to health care can also be a contributing factor.

“You’re actually in a place where we have a shortage of health care professionals,” Dr. Kinman added. “I have patients who drive four hours to see me. I have patients who no-show who live three hours away. A lot of our families are poor. If their parents miss a day in the fields, they don’t get paid.”

Diabetes rates in these communities may include a genetic factor. In three people — one white, one African-American and one Hispanic — the white patient was said by Dr. Kinman to be less at risk of contracting diabetes, even if those three patients were all the same weight.

“Why? We don’t know. Could it be related to some of the social determinants of health? Could it be because we consume a better diet?

Well, that’s not going to be true, for there’s also poor Caucasians,” Dr. Kinman said. “So if we knew what caused it exactly, we’d be able to fix it. That’s the problem.”

In order to fight diabetes, Thorpe recommended education as an effective means of prevention. A longer recess, he said, could be a helpful tool, and small programs on diet, exercise and nutrition were advised.

Kinman, however, warned that in

order for families to fight lifestyles that increase the risk of diabetes, the change must occur with the entire household.

“You have to convince the family to change its lifestyle because you can’t change one kid if the rest of the family does not adopt the same lifestyle,” she said.

CONTRIBUTED | Younger children are being forced to use equipment to manage and monitor symptoms from diabetes, and rates among minorities are also on the rise.

After more than 40 years of leadership, Dennis, Ken, Randy and Philip Parnagian have stepped down from their executive roles at Fowler Packing Co. and have appointed Justin Parnagian as CEO and Leland Parnagian as president, in addition to several other executive appointments.

This leadership marks a new chapter for Fowler Packing as the third generation of the Parnagian family now guides the day-to-day operations of the company. Known as “The Four Brothers,” Dennis, Ken, Randy and Philip joined the business operations in the early 1970s, under the leadership of their father Sam Parnagian, a World War II veteran and pioneer in the fresh fruit industry. After the passing of Sam Parnagian in 1980, the second generation took over.

“We are humbled by the board’s appointment and look forward to building on the legacy of excellence that spans more than 60 years,” said Justin Parnagian, CEO. “The four brothers have worked tirelessly to bring Fowler Packaging to where it is today.”

“Fowler Packing is more than just a company we work at,” Dennis Parnagian, former president and CEO said. “We are proud to have built a company that puts the customer’s, grower’s and employee’s best interests first. It is in the spirit of carrying on that tradition that we are pleased to make these leadership appointments.”

Justin Parnagian most recently served as vice president of sales, while Leland Parnagian most recently served as vice president of real estate.

Dennis, Ken, Randy and Philip Parnagian will continue in their new roles solely as members of the board of directors, joined by the newest board member Jim Bates.

POLITICSNew survey paints moderate picture

Residents of inland California’s agricultural communities mostly believe Gov. Jerry Brown is doing a good job, that race relations today are worse than in the past and that a wall between the U.S. and Mexico is a bad idea — but are divided on whether Russia meddled in last year’s presidential election.

These are some of the findings of “Californians & Their Government,” a statewide survey conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California, a San Francisco-based charity working to inform people about public policy issues.

The survey has been conducted annually since 1998, covering both state and federal public policy and political issues.

“Every survey we do is a mix of tracking questions we’ve done for years and new ones based on ongoing policy debates,” said Linda Strean, a spokeswoman for the Public Policy Institute.

They include current hot-button topics, including this year’s questions on the growing tensions between the U.S. and North Korea.

Another asks the 1,734 Californians surveyed across the state about their confidence in President Donald Trump’s ability to handle conflict with North Korea. Statewide, 67 percent of the respondents said they were uneasy, while 29 percent indicated confidence in the president, with the rest saying they were unsure or declining to offer opinions.

The surveyors divided California into five regions, including a “Central Valley” region covering more geography than what people here consider the Central Valley. This one extends through most of the central part of the state, from Kern

County all the way north to Shasta County, an area comprising much of the prime agricultural counties in California.

In this extended Central Valley region, 62 percent of the people surveyed expressed uneasiness in the president’s ability to handle North Korea, while 36 percent expressed confidence.

Among the political questions, 52 percent of the 342 Central Valley respondents said they believe Jerry Brown is doing a good job as governor, 47 percent approve of how the California Legislature is doing its job — just four percentage points higher than the ratio of people who disapprove — and 62 percent disapprove of how Donald Trump is handling his job as president.

In the Central Valley, 75 percent favor Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals (DACA) protections for undocumented immigrants brought into the U.S. as children — not far from the 78 percent who answered the same statewide — while 58 percent had favorable opinions of the Affordable Care Act.

In addition, only 18 percent believe the Republican Congress should continue working on its own, alternative federal health plan, while 22 percent believe Republicans should move on from health care legislation and 56 percent believe Republicans should work with their Democrat counterparts to develop a bipartisan health plan.

ENTERTAINMENTZoo welcomes new rhinos

The Fresno Chaffee Zoo is celebrating the arrival of two male greater one-horned rhinoceros for the very fist time.

The new residents, 2-year-olds named Chutti and Maza, came last week from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

Chutti’s name means “holiday” in Hindi, since he was born on Thanksgiving. Maza means “fun” in Hindi.

It’s the first time this type of rhino has been on exhibit at the Chaffee Zoo. African white rhinos Tim and Kayla came to the zoo in 2015 for the opening of the African Adventure exhibit. They’ve since had a calf, a male named Rudo.

“We are really excited to welcome this new species to our Zoo,” said Lyn Myers, general curator at Fresno Chaffee Zoo. “They are a very iconic species and we are looking forward to teaching guests about the differences between rhino species as well as the challenges that rhinos face.”

HEALTH CAREHospital receives donation

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Madera Community Hospital announced the donation of two sets of surgical retractors, valued at $30 million, from Invuity, Inc. in San Francisco.

The instrument donation, designed in part by Dr. Stephen DeSantis, is marketed internationally as Eikon and Eikon LT for Breast Surgical Oncology. Dr. DeSantis, general surgeon, is a member of the Madera Medical Staff and the American Society of Breast Surgeons.

In 2014, prior to joining Madera Medical Staff, while on-call in Mission Viejo, Dr. DeSantis sketched a set of instruments designed specifically for advanced breast surgery. Sensitive to the emotional and physical trauma of breast cancer surgery, Dr. DeSantis, along with an ice hockey friend, designed and patented an illuminated retractor allowing surgeons to move their incisions to hidden locations. The procedure, know as “hidden scar,” is being adopted worldwide for lumpectomies and mastectomies.

In addition to hiding the scar for mastectomies, in some cases the Invuity retractor also allows the surgeon to spare the breast nipple.

“By performing hidden scar breast cancer surgery, surgeons effectively treat the cancer, preserve the natural shape of the breast and leave no visible reminder of the procedure,” Dr. DeSantis said.

The retractor lifts and separates the tissue and provides illumination directly inside of the surgical cavity.

“I designed the retractor, my friend Alex Kayser designed the optical light diffuser and Doug Reimer designed the handle,” Dr. DeSantis said.

percent of incremental growth they say has been taken by online sales.

The problem is clear and many retailers across the nation and in the Valley are gambling that increased hiring will work to make a better in-store experience — the only thing, in many cases, that sets them apart from online rivals.

The biggest name leading the trend is Target, and they have some lofty goals.

A combination of lower prices on household goods and groceries, higher wages for workers and greater staffing appears to be an all-in strategy for the company in response to declining trends in the market.

“Target is looking to hire a significant number of people,” said Steven Gutierrez, labor market consultant for the Employment Development Department office in Fresno. “You’re seeing a lot of brick-and-mortar stores decrease due to people who are shopping online. According to reports, they’re taking a different approach by trying to provide better customer service for their customers by hiring more individuals.”

These goals, according to Haley Sorbo, the executive team lead at the Target on Willow and Herndon avenues in Clovis, set their sights on 30 percent more people than last year, an increase from 77,000 to 100,000.

“They’ve invested a lot of payroll and effort into areas like cosmetics, grocery and apparel,” Sorbo said. “As we acquire new processes in those work centers, we have to hire more team members.”

This means an additional 175 people stocking, checking people out and walking the aisles of her store alone during the busy holiday season.

Target is not the only one hoping to differentiate itself from online retailers using greater staffing numbers.

For the first time in its history, Williams-Sonoma is also looking to recruit 4,000 new associates for its stores as well as Pottery Barn and other subsidiaries, according to a press release.

Michaels, the craft store that has locations in Hanford, Visalia, Fresno and Clovis, also announced for the first time it would be hiring 15,000 across the nation, according to the 2017 Holiday Hiring Outlook by Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

In conjunction with greater hiring goals, Target recently announced it would be increasing entry-level wages, taking effect in October.

A higher minimum wage means a bigger net to catch potential employees. A bigger net also means the company can be more particular about gets hired.

“Target is focused on guest experience — we really want to look for candidates with experience in [grocery, apparel and cosmetics] and with guest service as well,” Sorbo said. “We believe offering that higher minimum wage will help attract that type of talent and be more competitive.”

Departments like cosmetics and electronics see increases during winter months, and the ability to guide people to the right product is what Target thinks will get them to buy it there.

To supplement the demand for positions, Target started advertising, posting and handing out flyers in the beginning of September.

“Last year, we had a national hiring event where the company did on-the-spot interviews and job offers,” Sorbo said. This year, they will turn that into a three-day event from Oct. 13-15 in each store.

The holiday season, as it goes, seems to get earlier every year.

Most people working in and around farms will tell you that farmers are a breed apart whom city dwellers don’t tend to understand.

That notion prompted three brothers from Kansas in 2012 to make the first of several music videos parodying music hits — replacing popular lyrics with positive messages about farming and the people involved in that work.

Eldest brother Greg Peterson, 26, said the idea stemmed from a decision he had in college to educate his city friends about farm life, and his brothers Nathan, 24, and Kendal, 21, were more than willing to join in the performing.

“We set the camera up on the tripod, and we filmed ourselves. Our sister helped some,” Greg Peterson recounted in a phone interview. “We just posted it on YouTube and Facebook, and our friends shared it from there.”

That first song, “I’m Farming and I Grow It” — a parody of LMFAO’s “I’m Sexy and I Know It” — got a million hits on YouTube in a matter of days, and less than a week after it was posted, Greg, Nathan and Kendal were invited to New York to appear on cable’s “Fox & Friends television show.

Since then, the brothers — now known professionally as the “Peterson Farm Brothers” —have continued to produce more videos that include “Chore,” a parody of Katy Perry’s “Roar,” and their biggest online hit to date, “Farmer Style,” a parody of Psy’s “Gangnam Style.” “Farmer Style” that has more than 17 million YouTube views.

And in between making more videos and helping run their family’s farm, the Peterson Brothers have been seeing the world, as they’ve been asked to speak

well as through their discussions and speeches when they make personal appearances.

“I think if farmers and we in the agricultural industry are not proactive about sharing our stories and answering questions, we are putting ourselves at risk of losing our influence and our ability to provide for the world,” said Peterson, a fifth-generation farmer.

The first year after their first video hit big on YouTube and they appeared on “Fox and Friends,” the brothers didn’t do personal appearances, but that changed in the second year, when they made appearances across the U.S. and Canada.

“People love hearing our story,” he said, after noting that he’d probably told of how he had the idea to write parody videos and how he and his brothers went on to make them about 5,000 times.

These days, the brothers appear at 30 to 40 events a year, including one in Australia. Greg added that he makes some appearances on his own, about 40 more a year, including one in South Africa.

“We performed before a group of 4,000 young farmers in Germany,” he said. “4,000 people our age and farmers. That was very exciting.”

Lyrics to I’m “Farming and I Grow It” (sung to the tune of “Sexy and I Know It”)

When I’m up at seven, the sunrise gives me a glimpse of heaven

I get right to work, a farmer’s life can be a little berserk yeah

This is how I roll, I feed the cattle till their stomachs are full

and perform at events across the U.S. and overseas — most involving farming and the agriculture industry.

One of those public appearances will be the Madera County Farm Bureau’s Harvest Celebration and Annual Meeting on Oct. 15.

The three brothers will perform songs and serve as keynote speakers.

“They’ve been doing this for a few years now, the farm parodies, and they‘ve gained some notoriety on Facebook and YouTube, and we heard about them, so we kind of thought it would be cool to get them here for our annual dinner. It’s kind of different to have somebody like them perform for us,” said Jay Mahil, a farmer and president of the Farm Bureau.

And certainly, with ag being the Valley’s main industry, there should be plenty of people here among the Peterson Farm Brothers’ fan base, he said.

“I think with social media, everybody knows them.”

Greg Peterson, who rewrites the songs and edits the videos, noted that he and his musically inclined brothers have made 14 music videos, along with 100 more videos in which they show and discuss farm life and how to do things on a farm.

“We’re trying to address the common misconceptions of farms. Some people think farmers are stupid, that farming is simple, that farming should be done in specific ways, just because most people these days don‘t have a connection to the farm,” he said.

“That leads to political consequences,” with laws passed that counter farmers’ needs because lawmakers and the people supporting them don’t understand farming, Greg Peterson said.

He said the brothers are trying to change that through videos that share the truth about farmers and are funny, as

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2017 www.thebusinessjournal.com 9The Executive Profile

GENERAL MANAGER

MOMENTUM BROADCASTING

What drives you?We take our responsibility to our local communities seriously, and we do our utmost to deliver the very best in music and personality to the local community. We provide free entertainment to the region, which includes putting on the annual JugFest, Free Summer Concert Series and Girls and Guitars concerts, the latter a fundraiser to fight breast cancer that will be held Oct. 29 at the Visalia Fox Theater. We’ve also brought national rock acts to the area, including George Thorogood, Joan Jett and ZZ Top.

What is your role in the business?On a day-to-day basis, I see my position as helping to clear obstacles that are in the way of my staff so they can do their jobs. In a small market such as ours, without mega corporate resources, that means being a Jack-of-all-trades, so I need to know technical issues, programming issues, sales issues as well as business functions. And I mind the details, making sure at the end of the day that someone turns out the lights. In a market our size, being a general manager means a willingness to take on any task that needs doing, and I’ve done all the ones you can think of — along with some you never would.

What’s the best business advice you ever received?The one comment about business that sticks with me after 25 years working in media is that you will have some wins that you deserve to win, you will win some you don’t deserve to win and you’ll lose some you deserve to win. Working hard for the best outcome every day is my goal, but perspective is important in business as well. That’s where I feel self belief comes in — knowing at the end of the day I did my best.

What are your ties to the Central Valley?My personal roots came through a job hire. In 2008, I worked for myself, fixing up houses, but I could tell that year something bad was coming. So, I figured I’d best get something with a bit more stability, and later that year I was hired as general manager for Buckley Broadcasting in Visalia. In April 2012, I moved over to work for Don Groppetti at Momentum.

What lessons did you learn from your first job that you carry into your current job?My very first job after college was working in a mailroom in San Francisco. The person already there showed me how to do the in-office and interoffice deliveries, and it would take him two hours to do this with smoke breaks — back when you could smoke in the office — and stopping to converse with everyone. I did it in 10 minutes. The other guy made leisurely an art form, and he was let go. Later, I got into media sales, and in a sense it still was about delivering the mail in 10 minutes — over and over. I’m not the smartest guy, just the guy who’s willing to work hard. Not to be too pedantic, but this is an important lesson for new people who want to get in this business. We are not creating tons of new positions, so if you want to be in this business you’ve got to be willing to work hard.

How has the Valley radio market changed in the time you’ve worked here, and what changes do you see coming?In my time working here, Don Groppetti created Momentum Broadcasting after buying West Coast Broadcasting’s three radio stations and then buying 99.7 Classic Rock. Fresno’s Lotus Broadcasting picked up a station in 2014. One Putt Broadcasting in Fresno was created out of the merger of two independent companies. There is the potential for major changes in the market, depending on the results of national radio chain iHeart Media’s ongoing efforts to stave off bankruptcy, and Cumulus Broadcasting facing severely low stock values. These companies have real problems with debt and their ability to pay it off. Would either of these companies sell off any of their combined 12 Fresno radio stations to improve their balance sheets? That’s not out of the question, which opens the door for a new company to enter the market here, perhaps with a completely different business philosophy.

How is the internet affecting competition in the radio industry?Social media has created immediate feedback for radio stations, because disc jockeys on air can say something, and a minute later a comment about it can be posted. Listeners let us know when they like something we do instantaneously. They also can create negative publicity through their online statements — perhaps unfounded — so managing information flow is essential if we are to maintain our reputations.

Tell us about the changes in radio that allow the industry to better show the number of people radio reaches, and how are stations using this data?

Radio is the most effective medium available for reaching lots of people. Perhaps the most impactful measurement tool is one created by ratings service Nielsen and data collector Catalina. Between these two, they can measure advertising across a number of mediums, and the impact that advertising has on purchase decisions. Nielsen/Catalina studies have shown radio to be very effective with a return on investment across multiple categories on an order of six dollars for every dollar spent.

Do you see a shift in listeners’ tastes for radio programming in the Valley?I think local people’s tastes have been relatively stable in music and formats. What I think has changed is the expectation of sound quality. In addition, when I was a kid, we listened to top-40 stations on AM. That’s gone, and AM radio has been relegated to talk and sports formats. But even that’s under assault. In Fresno, there now are several FM talk stations, and it’s not uncommon to hear professional sports being broadcast on FM. So AM stations, particularly the smaller ones, are going to struggle.

What are the future plans for Momentum Broadcasting?We must continue to evolve, to listen to our local communities and do our utmost to reflect their needs and desires. Does that mean more Internet-driven interactivity? Almost assuredly. Does that mean still showing up for a Veteran’s Day parade or a grand opening or a fundraiser? Yes it does. This is a fantastically robust medium, with an unbelievable reach and relationship with the listeners in our community. It’s a claim few can match. We must continue to steward that.

Education: Bachelor of Arts degree in broadcast communication, San Francisco State University.

Age: 56

Family: Married to my wife, Gloria, for 28 years. We have two daughters, Marisa, 22, and Annabella, along with our son, Preston, 20.

What we do: Momentum Broadcasting is the umbrella company for Visalia radio stations KJUG, HiTZ 104.9, 99.7 Classic Rock and MY97.5fm, which combined make us the largest broadcaster in Kings and Tulare counties.KJUG became a country music station in 1977, and we are celebrating 40 years in that format. HiTZ has spent the last four-plus years as a mainstream, top-40 station, while MY97.5fm is an adult-contemporary station, now 2-years-old, and 99.7 Classic Rock has played classic rock since 1972.Momentum employs 18 full-time staffers, along with additional part-time workers. Our stations provide local broadcasting to the Visalia, Tulare, Hanford and Porterville areas.

Our ownership: KJUG, HiTZ and MY97.5fm were purchased by auto dealer Don Groppetti and his wife, Shelly, in 2011 from West Coast Broadcasting, while 99.7 Classic Rock was purchased by the couple in 2012.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 or visit this Internet Web www.Auction.com , using the file number assigned to this case CA1600276624 Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

(1)NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGNOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the Board of Supervisors (“Board”) of the County of Fresno (“County”) will hold a public hearing on October 17, 2017, at 9:00 AM or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the Board Chambers, County Hall of Records, Third Floor, 2281 Tulare Street, Fresno, California, 93721, to consider and take action on adopting the proposed Ordinance Amending Chapter 17.90 of Title 17, entitled, “Divisions of Land,” of the Fresno County Ordinance Code, Relating to Authorizing Public Facilities Impact Fees and a Schedule of Fees

(collectively, “Ordinance Amendment”).At the public hearing, the Board will conduct a first reading of the proposed Ordinance Amendment to consider its adoption, and County staff will recommend that the Board set October 31, 2017 or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, at the Board Chambers, as the date for the Board’s second reading and adoption of the proposed Ordinance Amendment (unless the Board orders a different date or location for taking that action). Chapter 17.90 of the County’s ordinance code authorizes the County to establish, impose, and collect public facilities impact fees as a requirement of the County, or a relevant city, as applicable, before the County or the relevant city, as applicable, issues a building permit for construction with respect to development. There are limited circumstances for exemptions from or conditional deferral of paying these fees. These County public facilities impact fees would provide financing for new, expanded, and improved County public facilities needed to meet the increased demand on the County’s public facilities caused by development within the cities and unincorporated areas of the County, as provided in Chapter 17.90.Following the Board’s adoption of Chapter 17.90, the Board adopted three successive temporary suspensions for collecting the fees through November 9, 2017. The Board will be considering amending Chapter 17.90 to extend the temporary suspension for an additional one-year period (November 10, 2017 to November 10, 2018) of the County’s requirement for building permit applicants to pay the public facilities impact fees for construction that is subject to Chapter 17.90, of the County’s and cities’ collection of such fees during such period, and of any requirement in Chapter 17.90 for the County to consider and take any possible action on any annual update of any such fees under the schedule(s) of fees (the “Temporary Suspension”). The County proposes to consider amending Chapter 17.90 to extend the Temporary Suspension for an additional one-year period (November 10, 2017 to November 10, 2018), and to extend to April 15, 2019 the commencement of the first five-year interval requiring the County to conduct or obtain an updated fee study for updated public facilities impact fees. All of such actions shall not otherwise affect Chapter 17.90, or the authority for any action taken or to be taken thereunder, including, but not limited to, the County’s expenditure or other use at any time of any public facilities impact fees that have been required to be paid and collected pursuant to Chapter 17.90. If the Board adopts the proposed Ordinance Amendment, it will take effect immediately upon its adoption. A copy of the Board agenda materials (including the proposed Ordinance Amendment) for the Board’s actions on this matter will be made available for public review, commencing on or about the Wednesday immediately before the applicable Board public hearing date, at the office of the Clerk to the Board (at the address for the Board), and on the County’s Internet web site at www.co.fresno.ca.us. Anyone may attend the public hearing and make any oral or written presentations at that time. Also, if anyone wishes to submit any written comments to the Board on this matter in advance of the hearing, he or she may do so by delivering those comments, either personally or by mail, to the Clerk to the Board at the above address for the Board.

Public Notices

26 www.thebusinessjournal.com FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2017

While no one should ever say “I know it’s real because I saw it on the inter-net,” everyone should be able to say, “I know it’s real. I read it in the newspa-per.”

Real newspapers reporting real news have never been more important or more valuable to readers and commu-nities.

This week, news-papers across the nation recognize National News-paper Week and the theme — Real

Newspapers…Real News — points to the importance of accurate reporting, watchdog journalism, strong editorials, comprehensive public notices and a free, open public forum that can be eas-ily accessed by readers in more ways than ever before.

In print, on digital sites, via laptop, desktop and mobile devices, through SMS or social media, newspapers

across the nation continue to be the leading source of reliable information in all the communities they serve.

In a world of fake news spread on social media and attacks on the media from people in power, it is important for the public to know the difference between legitimate reporting by cred-ible sources and all the noise posing as “the media.”

Here are some of the reasons your lo-cal newspaper is the most trustworthy source for news and information:

— Newspaper newsrooms are staffed with real people — people you know — reporters, photographers, edi-tors — gathering the news, conducting interviews, covering meetings, attend-ing events, writing, editing, fact-check-ing and making sure every day you can trust what you read.

— Newspapers rely on recognizable sources. Quotes in the articles you read are attributed to real people and can be easily verified.

— Newspapers work hard to stay away from single source reporting, giv-ing readers context and balance.

— Newspaper websites have le-gitimate URLs ending in .com or .org extensions, listing contact information, the names of staff members and the media organization’s leadership team on the website.

— Newspapers correct mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes at times, but there is a big difference between an error and intentionally and knowingly publishing a false report because of some political or social agenda. Spuri-ous websites, blogs and social media do not correct errors. They thrive on them.

In the United States newspapers have a long and important legacy of holding the powerful accountable, defending the First Amendment and advocating for government transparency.

Democracy is protected when the newspaper provides checks and bal-ances as the Fourth Estate of govern-ment from city hall to the courthouse to the statehouse to the White House.

Newspapers are committed to the neighborhoods, cities, counties, states and coverage areas they serve.

Straightforward news reporting and

thought-provoking commentary give a voice to the voiceless and empower the powerless. Newspapers hold govern-ment accountable because at our very core we believe that government belongs to the governed and not to the governing.

Don’t be embarrassed because you shared some sensational, agenda-driven report on social media only to find out it is totally fake. Get your news where real news has always been found: Your local newspaper, the real deal.

Jim Zachary, CNHI Regional Editor for Georgia and Florida newspapers, is the president and chairman of the Red & Black Publishing Co., serving the University of Georgia, director of the Transparency Project of Georgia, open government trainer and member of the board of directors of the Georgia First Amendment Foundation and a member of the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communications Board of Trust.

Opinion

National Newspaper Week: Your local paper — the real deal

It’s not easy being a small business owner. There are numerous stressors that may keep you up at night, but none more pressing than financial struggles. One of the most common is cash flow manage-ment.

In NFIB’s 2016 Small Business Problems and Priorities report, cash flow ranked as the 25th biggest problem. Another survey, conducted by Womply, found that cash flow management was the 10th biggest worry for small business owners.

Here’s a look at three major contribu-tors to cash flow troubles and what you can do about them.

CASH FLOW STRUGGLE #1: VARIABLE REVENUE PATTERNS

If your business is seasonal, your bottom line can feel low during your slow period.

“We manage this cash flow issue by projecting our fixed expenses that we have to pay all year round, as well as forecasting our likely variable expenses,” says Jeff Naeem, owner of Junk-A-Haulics. “Once we figure out the potential short-fall in our slower seasons, we then dedi-cate an account that we focus on filling with the target amount of money that we might need. We keep it separate from our operating account so that we don’t spend carelessly, thinking we have more money than we do. For our busy season, we ramp up staffing, but we focus on hir-ing part-timers so that when the slower season inevitably comes, we don’t have to let people go; we can simply reduce their hours.”

CASH FLOW STRUGGLE #2: LACK OF AC-COUNTS RECEIVABLE SYSTEMS

“We have worked with hundreds of small businesses, and the money chal-lenge we see most frequently is cash flow problems related to lack of accounts re-

ceivable systems,” says Courtney Barbee, second-generation owner of The Book-keeper. “So many businesses are so eager to obtain new clients and additional work, they do not put the proper structures in place to actually get paid for the work they are doing, or they ignore red flags that a client will be slow or resistant to pay.”

Barbee encourages all businesses to de-velop and write down rules for accounts receivable, which could include obtaining a deposit, keeping payment info on file before purchasing equipment for a client, or specifying a 30-day pay window in the client’s contract. Your policy should also define how to address clients who fail to pay, such as obtaining prepayment before

any future project.

CASH FLOW STRUGGLE #3: DIFFI-CULTY PROJECTING EXPENSES

“One of the biggest struggles that small business owners face is

learning how to project expenses—what is important, what is not, what the im-mediate needs of the company are, and so on,” says Catherine A. Wood, founder of Unbounded Potential.

A basic accounting system can assist in this process by allowing you to pull reports based on your past income and expense data. Once all your records are in order and you’ve taken a look at your financial status for the past few months or years, Intuit QuickBooks recommends generating cash flow and sales projec-tion reports. These will show you whether you’ll have enough money to cover op-erating expenses based on anticipated revenue.

Founded in 1943, and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, the National Fed-eration of Independent Business is America’s leading small-business advo-cacy association.

Top small business money challenges: Cash flow management

A bill before Gov. Jerry Brown, AB 1897, would make contractors liable if their subcontractors fail to pay their employees’ wages and benefits. The National Federation of Independent Business and a variety of builder groups have opposed the bill. A large majority (77 percent) of respondents to this week’s web poll do not support the measure, while 21 percent believe contractors should be liable, and 2 percent is unsure. Two hundred eighteen votes were counted.
