Premiere Florist From Colusa By Elizabeth Kalfsbeek

hilip Rice made a name for himself as a premiere florist at Jaki’s Garden in Colusa, and after 10 years in the industry has recently opened his own shop, East Sac Florist, in Sacramento. “I waited until the time was right for all of us to move on at Jaki’s Garden before leaving,” Rice said. “Jaki was ready to travel and enjoy retirement, and I was ready to spread my wings and give the city a try. “I do miss the people of Colusa County, but am so excited to meet new people from the Sacramento area,” Rice said. “I am finding East Sacramento to feel like a small town. I can already tell the community is very loyal; even after a few weeks in business, I am seeing lots of repeat business.” Rice arranges everyday floral designs and also provides wedding and event design planning, interior decorating, holiday decorating and floral art. His work has earned him the title of “Designer of the Year” by the California State Floral Association in

Nevada Teleflora educational unit. “I work hard to understand the customer and what they want,” Rice said. “I don’t do recipes. Everything I make or design is unique.” Rice found his calling as a floral designer at age four when he competed in the Colusa County Fair and took home a blue ribbon. He was also on the FFA Floriculture team in high school when he landed himself a job at Jaki’s Garden. After high school Rice commuted from Shasta College in Redding three days per week to continue working at Jaki’s. Growing up in Colusa, Rice has been inspired by his surroundings, “the abstract beauty of natural refuges, contrasting with the clean, strong lines of agricultural tapestry,” which are influential in his designs. “My designs are usually natural in flavor with a contemporary twist. I enjoy the Northern California landscape, agriculture and colors.” Though the economy is weak, Rice felt confident enough in his ability to serve people well to start his own business. “I believe if you offer a great product at a reasonable price with good service, you can succeed,” he said. “I also know what I offer is a luxury item. That is why I started small. Luxuries are often cut first in a down economy, but I am finding brides still want dream weddings, and people still want beautiful spaces in which to reside. My services are still in demand.” East Sac Florist is located at 5379 H St., Suite B in Sacramento. The store is open 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

A taste of low-acid coffee

By ELIZABETH KALFSBEEK Love coffee but hate the heartburn? Puroast Low Acid Coffee, roasted in Woodland, is scientifically proven to contain 50 to 80 percent less acid than other leading brands and is a breakthrough for coffee lovers searching for great taste without the side effects. When coffee shops became hugely popular in the 1990s, many brewers focused on roasting really dark beans. At the same time, Kerry Sachs, co-founder of Puroast Coffee and the inventor of the Puroast Process, simply sought to produce a smoother tasting coffee with less bitterness. After traveling to South America Sachs developed a unique roasting technology using an “old world” process. He brought it back to the States, revolutionized it and brought it up to modern standards. The product was sent to UC Davis, where Dr. Taka Shibamoto discovered that the coffee was so substantially lower in acid than other brands that it became the selling point. After four years of product development and research, Puroast Low Acid Coffee went on the market in 2005. “A lot of people say they’re allowed to put coffee back in their diet (after trying Puroast),” said Jillian Caunedo, marketing specialist for Puroast. “These people would torture

themselves every morning for a good cup of coffee and now they enjoy their coffee in the mornings.” The higher the acid level in the coffee, the greater the potential stomach irritation, including heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion, IBS, GERD, achy joints and muscles among other discomforts. One reason for the lower acidity is Puroast’s unique patented roasting process. “Others roast the beans at a high temperature for a long time and we roast the beans at a low temperature for a short time, never allowing the acid to form on the beans,” Caunedo said. Puroast’s process is an all-natural method that does not manipulate the coffee bean, uses no treatments or additives. Beans are 100 percent Arabica and many are organic, as well as entirely organic fair-trade coffee. “The founders are very passionate about the quality of the product and make sure there is no fluctuation in quality of taste,” Caunedo said. Moreover, Puroast’s roasting technology is environmentally beneficial and is 90 percent sustainable. The business was awarded the Seal of Sustainability by the Sustainable Business Institute of San Jose. “People are taking care of themselves and though coffee is a luxury item, the low acid is an additional bonus on top of the antioxidants and caffeine boost,” Caunedo said. Puroast Low Acid Coffee is very competitive in price and sells for $13.79 for two and a half pounds at Woodland’s Costco, where tastings are offered on the weekends. Try a sample of Puroast Low Acid Coffee at Woodland’s Costco on the weekends. For more information, visit www.puroast.com. To order, call 1-877569-2243 Ext. 101. Free ground shipping is offered.

my little mayberry essays of colusa

By Denise Denton-Rinzler

Electronic Sabbath Like angry bees buzzing in my head, email, texting, cell phone calls, landline calls, the radio, TV, I-pod, and my computer programs continue to buzz and sting me for time and attention throughout the day. Long sentence, short explanation: it’s exhausting. I try to remember how this electronic slavery began. The first leash was buying a cell phone. It kept me tethered to anyone anywhere who might get a sudden urge to punch my #. And I answer like a Pavlov dog. I carried over this response to all the new forms of communication, on constant high alert (pant, pant, pant!) for the ringing of myriad bells.

wes computer lab The new K-3 computer lab at Williams Elementary School is a big hit with students. Funds authorized by the school site council equipped the lab, which contains 27 student computers. Students use the computer lab for reading quizzes, language arts and ELD programs, and math games. After-school intervention classes also have access to the new lab.

Teens like to say TMI (too much information) when parents are telling an embarrassing story. The original TMI was coined by Pavlov for TransMarginal Inhibition. “The body’s shutting down when exposed to overwhelming stress or pain by electric shock.” I believe our minds and souls also experience TMI from too much exposure to electronic stimulation. Answer? Take an electronic sabbath. Sabbath means rest. Turn off all those machines. Post a voice mail/email message, “I’ll be returning calls tomorrow.” Then listen to the quiet. Miraculous: your muscles begin to relax, breathing becomes deeper and fuller, you can hear your own heart. Tomorrow, when you turn on all those wonderful, useful machines again, be the master, not the slave. Good luck, Puppy!

After watching the initial workout, Jim stated that “the prospects for a successful season are good.” There were 16 hopefuls at the opening session, with more expected later. Unlike previous seasons, Armocido plans to exploit local talent to the utmost, calling upon outside help only when it’s deemed necessary for the club’s benefit. At present the Merchants aren’t in a league, having dropped out of the West Side League. Armocido is contemplating playing independent ball this year, if enough good teams can be scheduled, but if not, an attempt to join a league may be made.

The sad part is there are some cases in the past where students did not receive the message the Every 15 Minutes organization was trying to send. Last summer two graduating seniors from Pierce High School who had just witnessed the event died in a drunken driving accident. This incident illustrates how there are no guarantees for the safety of teenagers, that any type of organization can put all the information in front of a young person for their safety, but in the end it is up the students and how they take it. To plan the event, it took a lot of time and manpower, as the group in charge had its first meeting back in October. With many permits needing to be signed and notifications to the neighbors and Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School, no time was wasted in planning the event. In the end, the price for the event totaled $10,000, which was completely funded by the CHP, showing how important it is to the community to put a stop to teen drinking and driving.

The 2010 Family Faire theme is “Growin’ Up Healthy.” “Colusa County has a Prevention Coalition that we work very closely with on areas of concern in relation to children and families in the county,” Harlow said. “We have spent a lot of time working on the obesity epidemic in our county. The MOYC Committee considered this when coming up with this year’s theme, which will incorporate healthy choices such as snack options, growing your own fruits and vegetables, as well increasing physical activity.” To that end, several agencies have collaborated to provide the start of a mini-vegetable garden. Children will be able to go from booth to booth to plant a variety of seeds to take home, with

the intent of replanting to start their own gardens. The Williams Police Department will offer a canine demonstration and the Colusa Fire Department will demonstrate the proper way to evacuate in the event of a fire by using a portable simulated smoke house. Victor Kent Family Magic Circus, children’s musician Matthew Clough and the Cloud Nines and covered wagon rides is a small sampling of other entertainment. “The Family Faire is a free event, so we encourage everyone to come on down for the day,” Harlow said. “It’s nice to have something available in our community for families to do together.”

Beware of huge trees in tight pots and a price tag that’s too good to be true. Usually the roots are so tight that the tree is doomed before it’s planted. Once it dries out, then it’s almost impossible to get its roots wet again. Don’t hesitate to look at the roots of a tree before you buy it. If they look like solid wood and a little soil, just pass.

Por ELIZABETH KALFSBEEK ¿Usted adora el café pero odia el efecto de este en su estomago? El café poco ácido de Puroast, tostado en la ciudad de Woodland, comprobó científicamente tener el 50 a 80 por ciento menos ácido que otras marcas principales y esto abre una brecha para los amantes del café que buscan saborear una buena taza de café sin los efectos secundarios. Cuando las cafeterías se hicieron tan populares en los años 90, muchos productores se centraron en la tostación del grano de que tendría que ser mas obscuro. Al mismo tiempo, Kerry Sachs, cofundador del café de Puroast e inventor del proceso del Puroast, simplemente trato de hacer un producto que produjera un sabor menos amargo y fuera más suave. Después de viajar a Suramérica, Sachs desarrolló una tecnología única de la tostación usando un proceso del “Viejo Mundo”. Él lo trajo de nuevo a los estados, lo revolucionó y lo trajo hasta estándares modernos. El producto fue enviado a Uc Davis donde el Dr. Taka Shibamoto descubrió que el café era tan substancialmente más bajo en ácido que otras marcas y esto es lo que lo convirtió en el factor principal de su venta. Después de cuatro años del desarrollo del producto y de investigación, el café poco ácido de Puroast se introdujo al mercado en 2005. “Mucha gente dice que ha podido consumir otra vez el café (después de intentar Puroast),” dijo a Jillian Caunedo, especialista en el mercadeo de Puroast. Las personas a las cuales les hace dano el acido del café sufrían cada mañana para poder saborear el sabor de un buen café.”

Cuanto más alto es el nivel ácido en el café, cuanto mayor es la irritación de estómago, incluyendo ardor de estómago, reflujo ácido, e indigestión, IBS, GERD, huesoso adoloridos asi como las articulaciones y dolores musculares entre otros malestares. Una razón de la acidez más baja, es el proceso de la tostación, el cual es el patentado único de Puroast. “Otros asan las granos en una temperatura alta durante mucho tiempo y nosotros asamos los granos a temperatura baja por un breve periodo de tiempo, nunca permitiendo que el ácido se forme en los granos.” El proceso de Puroast es un método todo-natural que no manipula el grano de café, no utiliza ningunos tratamientos o añadido. Las habas son el 100 por ciento de Arabica y muchos son café orgánico. “Los fundadores son muy apasionados sobre la calidad del producto y se aseguran de que no hay fluctuación en la calidad y el gusto”. Por otra parte, la tecnología de la tostación de Puroast es ambientalmente beneficiosa y es el 90 por ciento de sostenible. Se le ha entregado a este negocio el sello de la continuidad por el instituto de negocio sostenible de San José. Las personas pueden cuidarse a si mismo y también pueden disfrutar una gran taza de café, sin el acido tan dañino pero obteniendo el beneficio de los antioxidantes y el empuje de la cafeína. El café poco ácido de Puroast es muy competitivo en precio y se vende en $13.79 por dos libras y media en la ciudad de Woodland en el establecimiento llamado Costo, en donde las pruebas se ofrecen gratuitas en los fines de semana.
