Philip 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

2008-2009. for the last two years he has shared his floral design abilities with fiesta Parade floats, which took first place – the sweepstakes trophy – in the tournament of Roses Parade each year. Most recently he was appointed as an advisor for the California Certified florist Program and has served as vice president of the Northern California/

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. for more information, call (916) 457-2699 or visit www.eastsacflorist.com.

Electronic sabbath

like angry bees buzzing in my head, email, texting, cell phone calls, land-line 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.

teens like to say tMi (too much information) when parents are telling an embarrassing story. The original tMi was coined by Pavlov for trans-Marginal 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/e-mail 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!

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 1-877-569-2243 Ext. 101. free ground shipping is offered.

as parents we do what we can to keep our children safe, and sometimes that’s not enough. We can’t be with them every second or they never learn to be independent, mature individuals. so, we generally watch surreptitiously from the sidelines in case we are needed. We think we know the dangers and try to protect our kids, but sometimes the unimaginable can happen. Recently some family friends were at a motocross race, their sons watching from the rail of the grandstand One of the riders lost control of his motorcycle, which flew over the handrail, hitting 13-year-old Cody, fracturing his skull and causing severe head trauma. While the first few days after the accident seemed fairly grim, Cody started to recover and is continuing to make great strides each day.so, no matter how safe we try to be, sometimes it’s not enough. We can only try our best and treasure the time we have with our kids, because every precious minute is unique and special.During the last week in March and the first week of april two Colusa County high schools participated in the Every 15 Minutes program, designed to give students an up-close and personal look at how drinking and driving can alter lives forever. i think it’s an excellent program, and i hope it has as much impact on the students as it does on the adults who take part. While sometimes a touchy

subject between teenager and parent, the discussion is so very necessary. have a game plan should the child ever get into a situation where there has been drinking or the person in charge of transportation has been consuming alcohol: whom can they call? as parents we don’t want to condone underage drinking, but we need to get across the options other

than driving drunk or riding with a drunk driver. it’s better to call a parent or responsible adult than to risk your life or others. Even if you don’t have teenage children, i highly recommend reading our story about the Every 15 Minute program.Colusa Western Days is coming to town april 9, 10 and 11. Each year it gets bigger and better! it is so much fun for the

whole family. in fact, on saturday, april 10, the Colusa County family faire will also be happening. these fun events are both held at the Colusa County fairgrounds. hope to see you there!

Williams Farmer, April 7,1900. DIED ON HIS

WEDDING TRIPThe San Francisco papers announce the death of Roger Kendrick Hamilton, which occurred March 16th at Biarritz, France, says the Marysville Democrat. Mr. Hamilton married Miss Genevieve Green, daughter of Will S. Green of the Colusa Sun, in London, England on December 19th last. They went on a wedding tour through England and France. When they reached Biarritz, in the south of France, Mr. Hamilton contracted a severe cold, which developed into quick consumption. The deceased was a well-known barrister and solicitor, and had quite a reputation as a literary man. His widow went to Europe about three years ago to study language, and during her travels met Mr. Hamilton. She had been selected to represent a San Francisco journal at the Paris Exposition

Williams Farmer, April 21,1900. CEMETERY

IMPROVEMENTSSince the incorporation of the Williams Cemetery Association there has been considerable improvement made in our city of the dead. A new fence has been built along the north and east line of the cemetery, the fence along the south line has been repaired and the picket fence in front has been treated to two coats of white paint by Artist Clark. The trees have all been trimmed and the grass mowed down and carted off. The windmill which was in a state of dilapidation was repaired and painted and is now in good running order. So much for the work of the association.The Masonic Order, which owns a plot in the northeast corner of the cemetery, has reserved a large circle in the center as a park and casted the same to be planted with ornamental and shade trees. They have also provided two long benches for the accommodation of visitors. L. G. Manor is having concrete coping with artistic corners placed around his lot in the F. &. A. M. cemetery, and a beautiful little headstone over the grave of little Jewel Manor who died last summer. We also understand the contract has been let with the Sites Sandstone Company for a handsome coping for the lots owned by J. F. Abel Sr., and Mrs. Minnie Arnold.

Williams Farmer, April 2, 1937. SEYMOUR VANN

GIVEN WRITE UP IN RURAL PRESS

The following article was taken from this month’s Rural Press and will be of interest to the many friends of Seymour Vann:Pigs did not lift the mortgage on the home farm of Seymour Vann, 18-year-old Williams boy, but they produced for him more than twelve tons of pork, profits of more

than $800, and an opportunity for a three-year technical college course while younger brothers carry on with the hogs. One of the most interesting angles of Vann’s project at Williams High School,

where he studied vocational agriculture and was a member of the Future Farmers of America Chapter, was the prolificacy of one sow, Primrose My Favorite. This sow, bred and owned by Seymour Straloch linage, farrowed seven litters, totaling 82 pigs and raised 75 of them. This is an average of more than 10 pigs per litter raised. Today this boy has taken his brothers into partnership in a business with assets of

15 sows due to farrow this spring, and 22 feeder pigs. Seymour has a $4,000 insurance policy and a bank account of $500. In high school, he won the California Banker’s Association award and the State Farmer’s degree, and was president of his chapter.He is a freshman this year at California Polytechnic, planning at the end of three years to return

and go into partnership with his father in swine and grain-raising in Williams. He is getting a herd sire thru the Poly Poland’s.Primrose is due to farrow again in March 1937. Such prolificacy is not uncommon, but this sow has certainly set a record when it comes to raising her litters. It is evident to any hog man interested in commercial pork production, that Vann was wise to seek some of the progeny of Primrose, rather than to buy a show sow with poor family history. Vann has already placed four boar pigs in neighboring herds. Seymour says that his father and agricultural teacher were the other members of the trio that made such a start possible. This boy wants to be a farmer. Apparently he has the makings of a good start.

Williams Farmer, March 31, 1939. NASSER BROTHERS

BUY TWO COLUSA THEATRES

Negotiations were completed on Saturday whereby Nasser Brothers of San Francisco became the owners of the Colusa and Gem

Theatres. The deal was closed with the Harvey Amusement Company, which more than a year ago purchased the properties from N. C. Steele. Theodore Nasser was here Monday conferring with Ed Coffey, who will be retained as manager. No immediate changes in personnel are contemplated and the policies of both show houses will remain the same, it was announced. The price consideration in the change of ownership has not been announced.

Williams Farmer, April 7, 1939. TO ATTEND HEARING

ON LIMITING OF SAN QUENTIN SACKS

A delegation of farmers and businessmen will motor to Sacramento on Monday morning to be present at a hearing on Assembly Bill No.1492. The bill deals with the limiting of the number of bags that may be manufactured at San Quentin. This would mean higher prices to the farmers in the state, and a raise in the price of bags is not desired especially not at this time. The hearing will be held at 8:30 in room 432 at the capitol. B. L. Fouch is contacting as many as possible in the county, and it is thought that a good representation will go from

Maxwell, Arbuckle, Williams and Colusa.

Williams Farmer, April 4, 1950. JIM ARMOCIDO TO MANAGE WILLIAMS

BASEBALL TEAMUnder the watchful eye of Jim Armocido, new “Williams Merchant” baseball manager, the local club began training for

the forthcoming season on the Grammar School diamond last Sunday afternoon. This will be Armocido’s first year with the locals, replacing “Perk” Keffer, Williams manager during the past two seasons. 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. All games will be played on the town team diamond.

The horrors of drunk driving have been something that has haunted millions of people nationwide for many years. Unfortunately the ones who make the mistake of drunk driving are just a small percentage of people who are affected from the incidents. a statistic shows 80 percent of the time other drivers, not the drunk one, suffer the worst injuries in the accident. The worst pains drunken driving causes are emotional pains to the family and friends of the victims. The purpose of Every 15 Minutes is to reduce teen drinking and driving even though it is nearly impossible to stop teens from drinking altogether. it is hoped that after students see one of the presentations they will be a little smarter when it comes to drinking alcohol. On March 24 six students were pulled out of their classes at Colusa high school and brought to an unknown

location to spend the night. The following day on Colusa avenue, right in front of the high school, a drunken driving accident involving the six students is staged, with the entire students body watching. ChP, Enloe Medical, and local law enforcement were present, including a ChP

Northern Division air Unit helicopter and a hollywood makeup artist, to make the event as realistic as possible. to end the week an assembly was held, giving students a chance to hear from guest speakers and hear their story and how one accident can dramatically affect hundreds of people. “i hope everybody really appreciates the time and effort that a lot of people put into this.

We’re all just hoping the event has a personal change on every individual student, that they’ll just handle themselves a little bit wiser when it comes to being around alcohol, and they realize their decisions do not only affect themselves, but the people around them,” stated the coordinator of the event, Bob Kirkman, Jr.

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.

Representatives from first 5 Colusa, Public health, special Olympics, Girl scouts, family soup, Colusa fire Department and others will be in attendance. last year there were approximately 800 children in attendance, and this year may exceed that number. 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.”

*2010 Rose of the Year, sedona, by Jackson & Perkins, was recently released. it has a high-centered double blossom, with shades of coral, red rose and peach. This flower is very fragrant, similar to a sweet pear.

g*top selling tree in Northern California, sequoia sempervirens, “aptos blue.” California Coast redwoods continue to gain in popularity, although many people still underestimate their size potential. alkaline soils are causing some redwoods to just cook to a toasty brown after a few years. Overall the aptos blue is a cutting-grown hybrid with thick blue foliage. it seems to be the hardiest of all here in the valley.

g*Compost sales reach a record high in 2010. That’s right, on a large scale too! The value of compost to activate and maintain healthy soil is really catching on. You may happen to notice large trucks dumping regularly into local orchards. We can’t just keep taking goodies from our land without putting something back. homeowners with poor soil often begin their landscape with a truck load of compost. for a fantastic garden you have to work your way from the soil up.

g*Wholesale nursery growers are overloaded with inventory of plants. Due to our slumping economy and housing sales, too many plants and trees were grown more than demand. Many growers in southern California are chipping or dumping overgrown trees and

plants. Destroying the overgrown trees is one way to dispose of them. The other is to sell cheap, many to discount retail chain stores. 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.

g*Most favored old fashioned flower, the lilac. Just drive by an old farmhouse in spring sometime. You are likely to find lavender lilacs like small trees blooming now. Their sweet fragrance is often too much to take. They often live over a hundred years. The one pictured here was transplanted by me about 20 years ago. at the time we moved it was 16 feet tall and had to be cut it in half to move it. luckily it made the move and brings these beautiful flowers to my home every year.

g*The new hybrid roses are among the best flowering shrubs. Being resistant to insects, disease and mildew makes them tough as nails in our hot sun. Remember, water them from down below. Roses don’t like water on their leaves.

g*Daylilies used to just come in yellows and orange, but now in almost every color of the rainbow. also, they love moisture and grow in heavy soil. Even if you drove right over a daylily, smashed it to the ground, it would come back with

just a little water and some t.l.C.

una Destreza De equilibrio

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.
