There are some really good tips on water conservation that are really simple to commit to. For more ideas about water conservation check out the article in this edition of the newsletter, but here are a few good reminders. • Take shorter showers: a four-minute shower uses approximately 20-40 gallons of water. Capture water in the shower: Place a bucket in the shower while you are waiting for the water to warm up and use the water you catch for watering plants or cleaning. General Manager Lori Rosenberg Front End Lodie DeAlba Grocery Babs Verenis Information Technology Brian Alexander Marketing & Outreach Jessica Silva Operations Don Buchanan • Brushing your teeth: leave the water off after you rinse your brush and apply your toothpaste. Fill up a glass of water for mouth rinsing. • Use your dishwasher and washing machine for full loads only. New Energy Star washers use 35-50% less water and 50% less energy to run them. • When washing dishes by hand: Don’t leave the water running for rinsing. If you have a double sink fill one for washing and fill the other for rinsing. • Rinse your razor in the sink when you shave: Fill the sink with a few inches of water to rinse off your razor. • Mulch around trees, shrubs and plants: Mulch will slow moisture evaporation and discourage weed growth.

I helped my brother and his family move here in the mid eighties and when I saw there was a co-op, a golf course and great hiking I was good to go and decided to move here from northern Minnesota as well. I started shopping in co-ops during my college days and enjoyed the high quality food, ambience, and sense of community that I experienced at all the various co-ops I supported through the years. Working at our great co-op is truly a labor of love. I enjoy watching the deep sense of community that plays out every day in the store. We realize that we can always do things better in the store and continually strive to do so. We welcome feedback from our great member-owners and the broader community about how we can improve services and adding products folks would like us to carry. Any co-op shoppers out there experiencing memory lapses, forgetting where you left your keys, or remembering if you fed the dog or not? Our brain health is precious and anything we can do to protect it for the long haul would seem like a prudent thing to do! Our most important organ is also our most fragile. Hypoperfusion is a term for inadequate supply of blood to a body part. Research is indicating this process can be reversed if the correct nutrients are used. Researchers are increasingly recognizing that most aging humans experience obstructions to cerebral microvascular blood flow that results in chronic hypoperfusion. Perfusion deficits in the brain have been shown to instigate neurological impairment as simple as not being able to locate your keys to potentially senility and Alzheimers. With each heartbeat blood is pumped into our arteries that branch into smaller arte- rioles that branch further into the tiny capillaries where they deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells. Capillaries are extremely tiny and also highly delicate. Some risk factors such as hypertension, high homocysteine, high fibrinogen (increased blood clotting risk), inflammation, and high triglycerides have been shown to damage the thin endothelial shell that protects the capillaries. Maintaining capillary integrity has been shown to be essential to prevent hypoperfusion and the neurodegeneration that invariably accompanies it. Recently a clinical study on thirty former National Football League players was conducted. These players experienced much earlier signs of hypoperfusion and cognitive impairment due to the rough sport they played. Nutrients administered in the study included fish oils, Vinpocetine, Ginkgo, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl L-Carnitine, Huperzine A, N Acetyl-Cysteine and multivitamins and the increases in the players’ cognitive functioning showed definite improvements! The Wellness Department carries these products and if you have questions please don’t hesitate to ask about them. Our brains have been shown to require exercise as well as the rest of the body. Studies indicate that learning new and interesting things daily increases neurotransmission in the brain and is excitatory for the brain’s neurons. Research is also indicating that challenging our brains helps maintain their elasticity and keeps the neurons firing. I truly believe human beings have a deep-seated need to be part of something that makes them feel good and our wonderful co-op certainly offers that opportunity. I enjoy watching the interactions of our customers with each other and with our staff and that we are all part of something extraordinarily special! One of our goals at the co-op is to have even more of our broader community folks become aware of this special place. SALE Tuesday April 22nd 10% Off all bulk products!

The story centers around the sudden disappearance of honey bees from beehives around the world, caused by the poorly understood phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder or CCD. Although the film does not draw any firm scientific conclusions as to the precise cause or causes of CCD, it does suggest a link between neonicotinoid pesticides and CCD. Please RSVP online at www.ukiahcoop.com or call Customer Service at 462-4778. Saturate Your Tastebuds! Amanda Slade – Wine Buyer Wine competitions are an effective way to compare and contrast wineries, winemakers and wines, deepening your experience in the wine world. One reason why I bring this up: The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition was held back in January and I am pleased to announce that many of our tasty Mendocino wines won many awards including Double Golds! There were over 5,825 wines entered into the competition from over 1,500 wineries from over 25 states in America -- the largest competition of wines in America. That’s very impressive, knowing that many of our beloved wines were showcased, judges tried our wines, and our county was out there with the Napas and the Sonomas, so hopefully more people know of us by now. There were over 22 wineries that won a Gold medal or higher and we could not be prouder of the winners (and everyone else who entered the competition). Among the Mendocino winners were Husch, Campovida, McFadden, Navarro, Handley, Cakebread, Bliss, Moniker Wine Estates, Kimmel, Parducci, Naughty Boy Vineyards, Seebass, Wattle Creek, La Follette, Tom Eddy, Hwy 253, Philo Ridge, Brutocao, Bonterra, Byrd, Alder Springs, Cesar Toxqui, and Stephen & Walker. We carry many of the award winners at the Co-op such as Husch, McFadden, and Handley (just to name a few). For a more detailed list of the wine competition visit winejudging.com to see a list of all the wineries that entered and the winners. Last but not least, Pinot Noir Festival in May! It is held at Goldeneye’s beautiful Philo vineyard from May 16th-18th. The Pinot Noir wines in Anderson Valley are out of this world. Hundreds of people from out of town and out of the country travel to Anderson Valley for this event. Many wineries in Anderson Valley will be taking part in this worthwhile event. If you can get over to Philo, check it out! There are some other great wine events coming up and I want to give everyone an ample amount of time so you can arrange your schedule, for those who would like to attend. Saturday, May 3 and I wish all of you a beautiful spring and cheers all around! PD Checks are Coming Soon! A few things to remember.... 1. Checks are based on eligible purchases! Barring any unforeseen calamities the Co-op will be distributing PD checks to owners based upon their eligible purchases (those purchases made during quarters that they were current on their share purchases, or were Fair Share). 2. Let us know when you move! Please update your mailing address with us if you have moved or are not sure we have the correct one. We need to be able to mail you the check. Please The Co-op News • March - April 2014 Sunday, May 4th from 11-5pm is the Hopland Passport. There are 15 participating wineries in the town of Hopland, food pairings at each winery, live music, art and picturesque outdoors. For transportation, you can contact Terrific Tours (www.terrifictours.com) and ask about the “Hopland Passport Discounted Pricing.” Another option is have a Designated Driver and they get in for free! The Designated Driver Wristband is complimentary and will give your driver free admission to the event and access to food and entertainment offerings at each winery. I have worked this event for the past 2 years and they are fun! Yes, they can get a little crazy at times but with the right group of people, it is fun! Your tastebuds will be overloaded and overwhelmed with wines. (I prefer to taste white wines on Saturday and the red wines on Sunday, but everyone’s different, so whatever works for you and your head the next morning). Everyone is in a good mood, relaxed and socializing with each other. Tickets are $45 online or $55 at the event and for more information, check out www.destinationhopland.com/hopland-passport. e-mail membership@ukiahcoop.com with any updates to your address. 3. Cash it -- Don’t keep it! Some people may think that not cashing the check will act as a “donation” to the Co-op. However, for bookkeeping purposes we strongly encourage you to cash or deposit your check. If you want to support the Co-op, continue shopping here, and if you’d like to make a donation we’d be happy to give you a list of the groups we support. 5 2014 Board Elections! T his year the Co-op has four candidates running for three open board seats, plus we are proposing amendments to our Articles of Incorporation and an addition to our Bylaws! The three candidates receiving the most votes will be seated. The Board has voted unanimously to recommend the approval of the Bylaw and Article changes. Both of these items will be presented as one item up for a yes or no vote on the upcoming election ballot. We ask that you read the candidate statements and review the proposed changes and additions to our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws (as mailed to all member-owners). Then please exercise your right as a member-owner to govern the Co-op and vote! Candidate Statements Elaine Boults ness world. Early on I worked for the Pacific Stock Exchange, which was a member owned cooperative. I served as the County Management Employees’ Association Chair and on their negotiating committee. I’ve served on other Boards. I have worked on countless budgets and forecasts. I have a working knowledge of health care reform, insurance, information systems and other timely issues affecting businesses. I have hired, supervised, mentored and had to let staff go. My background prepares me with the knowledge, experience, relationships and empathy to be effective in the fiduciary responsibility of being a Board Member and to work with the Co-op’s management. I have been a member of the Co-op’s Finance Committee since Spring 2012, which helped me become familiar with Co-op operations and introduced me to Co-op Management and Board members. I was appointed by the Board last summer to complete the term of a Board member who resigned. I’ve served on the HR committee and an adhoc committee exploring store growth/ relocation since then. I believe I have more to contribute and am seeking re-election for a full term. I hope to see the Co-op continue to grow and thrive. I would appreciate your vote. Larry Mayfield My name is Elaine Boults and I am a candidate for the Co-op Board. My husband and I became Co-op members in 1993 when we moved to Ukiah. I retired in 2012 after a 32-year career in Accounting and Financial Management, primarily in the non-profit, grants and government sectors, ending by working for Mendocino County. I also have experience in the for-profit busi- I have served on the Co-op’s Board of Directors for the last three years. The Co-op News • March - April 2014 Having worked at management level in both retail and wholesale I see clearly how successful our Co-op is. However we have challenges coming in the local market and in the fact we have outgrown our current location. I would appreciate your vote to return me to the Board and help meet these challenges. Paula Radell for Medical Staff Services at Ukiah Valley Medical Center. The Ukiah Natural Foods Co-op is a unique, progressive organization and an invaluable resource for community outreach as well as the promotion of healthy living. I support its mission; I believe I am well-qualified through experience and commitment to its values; and would like an opportunity to give back to the community that has been our home for the past several years. David Williams Thank you for the opportunity to apply for a position on the Ukiah Natural Foods Board of Directors. As a Registered Nurse, I have always had an interest in advocating for healthy nutritional practices, with a special interest in nutritional issues affecting pre-natal women, infants, children and the elderly. Since moving to Ukiah seven years ago, I have developed an even greater interest in promoting healthy, natural, raw, vegan and vegetarian products as well as high-quality meat and proteins obtained from a variety of local and community sponsored agricultural resources within and around Mendocino County. In addition to my experience as a nurse, I have been an administrative director and manager for over thirty years in a variety of roles, including staff development, patient education, human and financial resources and organizational development. I previously served as a Director on the Board for a long-term care facility in Virginia Beach, Virginia; a sub-acute rehabilition hospital in Renton, Washington; the Ford Street Project here in Ukiah and the Ukiah Chamber of Commerce. I am currently employed as the Administrative Director Former “Merry Prankster” and early Haight Ashbury “Hippie” (and proud of it!), became involved in organic natural foods early movement in mid 1960s. Original staff member at New Age Natural Foods (San Francisco & later Palo Alto), Stanyon Street Health Foods (San Francisco) and Erewhon Trading Co. (Boston, MA) among other related employment. Longtime environmental protections advocate, I’ve been involved in numerous groups-- including: Earth First, Greenpeace, Amnesty International and (locally) Willits Environmental Center. 20 year Ukiah Co-op member / supporter. 6 Nourishing Youth explanation of proposed amendments Through Performing Arts to the ukiah natural foods bylaws and articles of incorporation Dear Co-op Members, The Ukiah Natural Foods Strategic Plan, completed in 2011, identified moving to a new and larger location as the top priority for the continued health and vitality of the organization. The continued growth in sales, member-owners, and store traffic in recent years have highlighted this pressing need. One of the strategies identified to allow for UNF to make a successful transition to a new location is raising the capital for such a project, partly from interested member-owners. The Board of Directors has been investigating and exploring different methods by which to raise such capital. Two potential options have been explored: Member Loans and the issuance of Preferred Shares (C Shares). Member Loans would be direct loans from member-owners to the Co-op for a fixed period of time and with a fixed interest rate. The terms of these loans would be determined at the time of issuance, approved by the State, and advertised to member-owners during a discreet fundraising drive. The second option is the issuance of C Shares. Many Co-ops issue C Shares to members as a means of increasing equity in their Co-op. C shares are paid a dividend in years when profits justify the Board of Directors making such payments. The terms of redemption would be set at the time of issuance, and any dividends paid would be determined on an annual basis. C Shares are only available to member-owners and carry no additional voting rights. In order to offer these options, and comply with State Law, we need to amend our articles of incorporation and bylaws. The amendments enable the Board of Directors to administer Member Loans and/ or Preferred Share capital programs. The Board does not contemplate initiating either option immediately. However, the Board is being proactive in the case that a location for a new store arises and capital needs to be secured. The Board has voted unanimously to recommend the approval of these changes. They will allow the Co-op to save money on borrowing costs and offer our memberowners an opportunity to invest in a business they own and support. The Board encourages you to vote YES on the proposed bylaw and article of incorporation amendments.* Thank you, Cliff Paulin President, Ukiah Natural Foods Co-op *For more information, please consult the recent member mailing or ukiahcoop.com CELEBRATE RSVP r ed fo requir , call al the me 8 to 77 462-4 our y secure ! spot Near & Arnold’s School of Performing Arts and Cultural Education (SPACE) is an acclaimed afterschool performing arts program serving youth ages 0-18 and is located near downtown at 508 West Perkins in Ukiah. SPACE is a living example of the power of art and an arts organization to affect individuals and change the consciousness and landscape of a rural community. SPACE offers an innovative program that has become a vital beacon for hundreds of rural children and their families. SPACE creates enduring social connections and excellent art for a future complete with tolerance, understanding, cultural excitement, and risk-taking. A unique aspect of SPACE is the Scholarship Program that awards $30,000 per year to eligible youth who would not otherwise be able to attend performing arts classes. The funds are awarded on a first come, first served basis. Parents of children who receive financial aid—and others—express great gratitude that their children are involved in positive after-school activities learning the performing arts and developing social skills. There are dozens of young adults who are now professionally involved in the performing arts and/or in positions of leadership, who got their start through the SPACE Scholarship Program. One former SPACE student who is currently a professional performing artist, wrote, “I have a BFA and an MFA in acting. That’s the equivalent of over $100,000 and seven years worth of training at some of the top institutions in the US. And yet, as a professional actor, I find that I draw on my years as a student of SPACE just as much as I do on my professional training. At SPACE I learned to create and perform with an open heart and a respect for others; I developed a cultural awareness that broadened my worldview; and I learned to look for and listen to the stories in history and in our daily lives that aren’t always told but should be heard. SPACE was a formative experience for me as an artist, but more importantly as a person. The world would be a much better place if every child (and adult) had access to that kind of education.” For information about SPACE’s 16-week winter/spring session and/or summer classes, visit spaceperformingarts.org or call, 462-9370.

That’s a pretty decent increase in sales! As always, the co-op is primarily supported by its members; 72% of total sales are attributable to co-op owners! That brings co-op sales per square foot to $2048! Sales of organic products were 63% of total sales and the co-op averaged 1120 customers per day. The sales chart shows how much our sales have increased since we moved into our current location in 1998. As you can see, it’s still increasing! Photo Credit: Jessica Stull-Otto Article Courtesty Of: Walk & Bike Mendocino Kids just don’t move as much as they used to -- providing safe opportunities for walking and bicycling to and from school is one way to keep kids active and healthy. The rest of the year-end figures are still in the works at this point. Year-end financial statements will be sent out with the annual membership report in April. Please stay tuned to the newsletter for the yearend net profit figures and make sure that your mailing address is up to date for patronage dividend information. If patronage dividends are approved by the Board of Directors, the patronage dividend checks will be sent out in early April. UNF Annual Sales Growth UNF Annual Sales Growth Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a national and international movement to create safe, convenient, and fun opportunities for children to bicycle and walk to and from schools. Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs are designed to increase the number of children safely walking and biking to school by integrating health, fitness, traffic relief, environmental awareness and safety under one program. 13938921 12140935 10637624 9572659 Mendocino County Department of Transportation is developing its first countywide plan to serve schools in the unincorporated areas of the county. Ukiah, Willits, Fort Bragg and Point Arena have already begun planning for Safe Routes to School. This plan will help county staff and residents better understand the barriers and opportunities to support kids walking and biking to school throughout the county. The comprehensive SRTS plan will include strategies for improving walking and bicycling conditions near schools and provide a toolkit for schools and parents that are interested in supporting active and healthy kids in their community. Safe Routes to School programs are typically structured around multiple disciplines that are referred to as the “5 E’s” (Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Engineering and Evaluation). Mendocino County’s plan will include information to help communities tailor the “E’s” to fit their goals and needs. In Mendocino County, many students live in rural communities where they are not within walking distance of their school. In addition, many places do not have sidewalks, trails, crosswalks or other infrastructure that support safe and convenient walking and cycling for children and families. Even with these challenges, SRTS programs can be effective in rural and small communities by providing information about safety, options for physical activity and potential improvements that help parents and children feel more comfortable with walking and bicycling as a means of transportation to and from school or school bus stops. One example of a rural school embracing SRTS in Mendocino County includes an established remote bus drop-off location about one half mile from the school – this short distance provides children with an opportunity for some physical activity at the start of their day and has the added bonus of reducing traffic congestion during arrival time. If you are interested in how Safe Routes to School can work in your community, review the County’s Draft SRTS Plan for tools and resources. The draft of the plan became available for comment on February 17, 2014. You can read more about Safe Routes to School and access the draft plan at http://mendocinosrts.weebly.com/srts-plan-outreach.html Specific comments or questions about the plan will be accepted until March 7, 2014. Residents may also submit comments or questions via telephone or email by contacting Alicia Meier, Mendocino County Department of Transportation, meiera@co.mendocino.ca.us or (707)463-4363.

Use it to water your indoor plants or garden. • Avoid rinsing dishes before placing them in the dishwasher, just remove large particles of food. • Repair dripping faucets by replacing washers. One drop per second wastes 2,700 gallons of water per year! • Avoid using running water to thaw meat or other frozen foods. Defrost food overnight in the refrigerator or use the defrost setting on your microwave oven. Choose appliances that are more energy and water efficient. • Place a bucket in the shower to catch excess water for plants. Operate automatic clothes washers only when they are fully loaded or set the water level for the size of your load. • Avoid overwatering your lawn. A heavy rain eliminates the need for watering for up to two weeks. Most of the year, lawns only need one inch of water per week. Canned Blueberries Red Cabbage Leaves (boiled) Purple Grape Juice Spinach Leaves (boiled) Liquid Chlorophyll Blue • Operate automatic dishwashers only when fully loaded. Use the ‘light wash’ feature, if available, to use less water. • Water your lawn in several short sessions rather than one long one, in order for your lawn to better absorb moisture. Clean vegetables in a pan filled with water rather than running water from the tap. • Plant drought-resistant lawn seed. • Use a blower or broom instead of a hose to clean leaves and other debris from your driveway or sidewalk. Start a compost pile as an alternate method of disposing of food waste or simply dispose of food in the garbage. (Kitchen sink disposals require a lot of water to operate properly.) Lavender • Avoid flushing the toilet unnecessarily. Dispose of tissues, insects and other similar waste in the trash rather than the toilet. • Looking for natural ways to dye your eggs this Easter?
