After the tornado: Watsonville's Kitayama Bros. nursery repairs damage from wind storm
WATSONVILLE -- Crews scrambled Thursday to repair a greenhouse and save hundreds of gerbera daisy plants after a tornado ripped through the Kitayama Bros. nursery on San Andreas Road.
Saturday morning, the tornado crushed one greenhouse and left three others a mess of twisted metal and shredded fiberglass. A fifth greenhouse, filled with red and yellow gerberas, was heavily damaged, putting the festive flowers at risk from rain and chilly temperatures.
Robert Kitayama, president of the company, said damages would exceed $100,000.
"Every farmer will tell you, it's always something," Kitayama said, shrugging off the loss. "It's the well. It's the weather. It's something."
A tornado, though, is unusual here.
"It's definitely a pretty rare occurrence," said Logan Johnson, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Monterey. "It's something that can go several years between happenings."
Johnson confirmed the incident after visiting the nursery Wednesday and evaluating radar data. He described it as a weak tornado with winds of about 75 mph. It emerged as a water spout on the Monterey Bay and then headed inland about a mile on a path 20 yards wide.
The nursery is about a quarter mile from the coast.
Kitayama said the greenhouses were hit about 7 a.m. A few minutes later, he said, crews would have been inside clipping flowers, and the consequences could have been worse.
As it is, the nursery lost as much
as 25 percent of its lisianthus, a delicate, hard-to-grow flower that's a company specialty.The nursery also lost part of its gerbera crop, though so far not the plants that typically produce for three years.
Kitayama said 3,000 no longer marketable gerbera blooms were sent south Thursday, a donation to Cal Poly's float in the annual Tournament of Roses Parade.
While he'll likely be short blooms for the big floral holidays of Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, "it's not a make or break" situation, he said.
The nursery lost about 40,000 square feet of its 1.8 million square feet of greenhouse space. He's also waiting to see how much of the loss insurance will cover.
Johnson said the last record of a tornado touching down in Watsonville was 10 years ago, though they aren't always reported.
If the nursery hadn't been hit and the greenhouses damaged, the twister may have whipped through the surrounding fallow agricultural fields unnoticed, Johnson said. His office only learned of the tornado because Kitayama called.
"People think we know about everything with all the computers, satellites and radar, but we don't. That's why the human element is so important to what we do," he said.

Opinion: Republicans dismayed by current GOP
All sanity seems to have left the ranks of those in charge of the GOP. Increasingly, it is becoming clear that the party is against everything and for nothing. That?s not governing. That?s just lobbing hand grenades. And the GOP is shrinking daily before our eyes.
But those aren?t my words. That stinging assessment comes courtesy of Mark McKinnon, a Texas-based Republican consultant and adviser to George W. Bush.
At this point in the fiscal-cliff crisis, with House Republican ideologues seemingly so willing to plunge America over the precipice, there is indeed no need for me to state the obvious. I can just quote the sane Republicans, as they assail their unhinged brethren. For instance, here?s Congressman Steven LaTourette of Ohio, lamenting the tax-phobic conservatives who refuse to face fiscal reality:
?It weakens the entire Republican Party. ... It?s the continuing dumbing-down of the Republican Party, and we are going to be seen more and more as a bunch of extremists.?
And as a result, we now have a crisis of governance.
There?s no sane reason why President Obama and Congress can?t compromise on a year-end budget deal that raises taxes on top-bracket Americans (while preserving the Bush-era middle-class cuts), and slices into federal spending. Obama has already offered those terms ? a tax hike on people earning $400,000 or more (his original proposal was $250,000), plus an array of spending cuts deep enough to tick off the Democratic left. But the House GOP rank and file said no.
House Speaker John Boehner tried to woo his rank and file with ?Plan B,? proposing a tax hike on millionaires. But again his recalcitrant troops said no. Most Americans believe that a high-end tax hike is essential to any compromise ? every poll says so ? and Obama won re-election after campaigning on that premise. In fact, the Gallup poll released Wednesday reports that 54 percent of Americans endorse Obama?s handling of the fiscal-cliff crisis. The congressional GOP?s approval rating is 26 percent.
But House conservatives don?t care. They?re adamant that the rich should never be compelled to dip into their pockets for the betterment of all.
McKinnon, in his post the other day, ruefully wrote: ?It?s a very odd situation when the losing party is the party refusing to negotiate. It may be how you disrupt, but it is not how you govern.? Fellow Republican strategist John Weaver tweeted in disgust, after Plan B went down, that Boehner is stuck with the impossible task of ?herding cats on crack.?
It appears that the cats haven?t grasped the lesson of that Lincoln movie, which reminds us that compromise is the oil in the governing engine. In the absence of compromise, the engine breaks down. Without a year-end budget deal, two million Americans will immediately lose their federal jobless benefits, and middle-class taxes will rise (among other consequences). And all the polls agree that if we do a cliff dive, congressional Republicans will get the brunt of the blame.
So why are these House people behaving so self-destructively?
Many hail from safe districts where conservative voters dominate. Norman Ornstein, scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, calls these districts ?homogeneous echo chambers.? The incumbents are virtually guaranteed re-election ? as long as they toe the conservative line. If they were to compromise, they risk being challenged in primaries. As the purist group Club for Growth remarked last week, ?the only thing that motivates members of Congress is fear of losing their jobs.?
Actually, there is one other big motivator: slavish fealty to the one-percenters who bankroll the party ? and who are hostile to paying higher taxes.
So says Mike Lofgren, who spent 16 years as a Republican senior analyst on the House and Senate budget committees. He saw the party?s fealty to the rich up close. He quit last year because, in his words, ?my own party, the Republican Party, began to scare me.? From his new book:
?The GOP cares, over and above every other item on its political agenda, about the rich contributors who keep them in office. This is why tax increases on the wealthy have become an absolute Republican taboo.... The GOP?s mission is to protect and further enrich America?s plutocracy. The party?s caterwauling about deficits and debt is so much eyewash to blind the public.?
The crisis of governance might be alleviated if more Republicans spoke that way. Hopefully, some absolutists are still reachable. They should heed Mark McKinnon: ?We become a stronger Republican Party by acting like reasonable human beings who acknowledge reality.?

Federal funding available for small-business loans - Press-Republican
PLATTSBURGH ? The Lake Champlain/Lake George Regional Planning Board will receive $800,000 in federal funds to help small businesses still trying to recover from tropical storms Irene and Lee.
The U.S. Economic Development Agency funding specifically targets communities that suffered damage from last year?s Tropical Storms Irene and Lee.
It offers investment for the development of a long-term strategy to help more local businesses withstand setbacks like natural disasters, among other needs, according to a news release from U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.
The funding for the loans will go toward helping North Country communities by assisting in the creation of new businesses, expanding existing enterprises and connecting them to new markets.
The funds will provide low-cost, short-term financing to flood-related, at-risk firms, assisting these companies in ongoing rebuilding and debt consolidation.
Assisting business will position the region to become more economically and physically resilient to disasters in the future, the release said.
?This is great for small businesses and startups, and it will help them in this difficult economic time more than traditional loans from banks,? said Clinton County Legislator Mark Dame (R-Area 8, City and Town of Plattsburgh), who serves on the Lake Champlain/Lake George Regional Planning Board.
?With the state of our economy and how conservative banks have been with loans, business growth and employment has been stymied in the North Country, and hopefully this will help.?
Dame said any business interested in obtaining a loan can contact him at 561-0454 or 563-9700.
?A lot of people in Warren County have taken advantage of these programs, and we would like to see more Clinton and Essex County people get involved,? Dame said.

Oil down slightly as fiscal-cliff talks continue
NEW YORK (AP) ? The price of oil fell slightly Friday, as the stock market drifted lower and efforts continued in Washington to strike a budget deal before the year-end deadline.
U.S. benchmark crude fell 7 cents to finish at $90.80 a barrel.
Hopes that a budget compromise might be reached were still alive as congressional leaders met with President Barack Obama at the White House. The Republican-dominated House is set to meet Sunday and stay in session until Jan. 2, the day before the new Congress is sworn in. Without a budget deal, automatic tax hikes and government spending cuts could send the economy into recession, economists say.
Traders are also weighing rising energy supplies.
Phil Flynn, of the Price Futures Group, said that a government report Friday showed U.S. oil production hit its highest point since March of 1993, at nearly 7 million barrels per day.
The Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said that U.S. crude supplies fell by 600,000 barrels last week but were still 13 percent above year-ago levels. Analysts expected a drop of 2 million barrels, according to Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos. Supplies at the crude delivery hub in Cushing, Okla., rose to an all-time high of 49.2 million barrels, more than 20 million barrels above year-ago levels.
Gasoline supplies increased by 3.8 million barrels, well above the 250,000-barrel increase that analysts forecast. Demand for gasoline at the wholesale level is nearly 3 percent lower than a year ago.
Flynn also said traders were looking beyond the fiscal cliff to supply changes in the new year. Next month the pipeline flow between Cushing and Texas will increase. That means more buyers can access that oil, so Flynn expects higher prices for crude. And with much of the nation facing its real first cold snap of the winter ? with the coldest temperatures in two years ? Flynn said many traders expect more demand for petroleum products.
In other energy futures trading on the Nymex:
? Wholesale gasoline fell 2 cents to end at $2.80 a gallon.
? Heating oil fell 3 cents to finish at $3.04 a gallon.
? Natural gas rose 6 cents to end at $3.47 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In London, Brent crude, used to price various kinds of foreign oil, fell 18 cents to finish at $110.62 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

Film explores African-Americans' unhealthy "soul food" habit
(Reuters) - After interviewing food historians, scholars, cooks, doctors, activists and consumers for his new film "Soul Food Junkies," filmmaker Byron Hurt concluded that an addiction to soul food is killing African-Americans at an alarming rate.
The movie, which will premiere on January 14 on U.S. public broadcasting television, examines how black cultural identity is linked to high-calorie, high-fat food such as fried chicken and barbecued ribs and how eating habits may be changing.
In the deeply personal film, Hurt details his father's fight and eventual death from pancreatic cancer. A high-fat diet is a risk factor for the illness, according to researchers at Duke University in North Carolina.
"I never questioned what we ate or how much," 42-year-old New Jersey-based Hurt says in the film that travels from New Jersey and New York to Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana and Chicago.
"My father went from being young and fit to twice his size."
Hurt, who also made "Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes," decided to examine the link between calorie-loaded soul food and illnesses among blacks after his father was diagnosed in 2006.
He delves into his family history, as well as slavery, the African diaspora and the black power movement in the film and provides photographs, drawings, historic film footage and maps.
In Jackson, Mississippi, Hurt joined football fans for ribs and corn cooked with pigs' feet and turkey necks. He also visited Peaches Restaurant, founded in 1961, where freedom riders and civil rights activists including Martin Luther King Jr. ate.
Hurt, whose family came from Milledgeville, Georgia, grew up on a diet of fried chicken, pork chops, macaroni and cheese, potatoes and gravy, barbecued ribs, sweet potato pie, collard greens, ham hocks and black-eyed peas.
"The history of Southern food is complex," he said. "In many ways, the term soul food is a reduction of our culinary foodways."
The origins of the diet lie in the history of American slavery, according to food historian Jessica B. Harris, who appears in the film. Slaves ate a high-fat, high-calorie diet that would allow them to burn 3,000 calories a day working, she explained.
Southern food began to be called soul food during the civil rights and black power movements of the 1960s, according to Hurt.
"There's an emotional connection and cultural pride in what they see as the food their population survived on in difficult times," he said.
But Hurt said African-Americans are being devastated by nutrition-related diseases.
Black adults have the highest rates of obesity and a higher prevalence of diabetes than whites, and are twice as likely to die of stroke before age 75 than other population groups, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Besides tradition and habit, poverty and neighborhoods without good supermarkets also contribute to an unhealthy diet, Hurt said.
"Low-income communities of color lack access to vegetables and have an overabundance of fast food and highly processed foods that are high in calories and fats. I always know when I'm in a community of color because I see ... very, very few supermarkets and health food stores," he added.
In her book, "High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America," Harris said the prevalence of over processed foods, low-quality meats, and second- or third-rate produce in minority neighborhoods amounts to "culinary apartheid."
In the film, Marc Lamont Hill, an associate professor of English education at Columbia University in New York, described minority health problems related to poor diet as "21st-century genocide."
Hurt says the government can help by increasing urban access to quality food and requiring calorie counts to be displayed on restaurant menus.
Nonprofit organizations such as Growing Power Inc., which runs urban farms in Chicago and Milwaukee, provide fresh vegetables to minority neighborhoods.
Brian Ellis, 21, said all he ate was fast food when he started working at one of Growing Power's urban farms in Chicago when he was 14.
"Then I started eating food I'd never seen before like Swiss chard," said Ellis, who appears in the film. "I never knew what beets were. I'd never seen sprouts before. I'm not that big of a beet fan, but I love sprouts. I could eat sprouts all day."

For 2016 Presidential Race, Look for Hillary Clinton vs. Rick Santorum
COMMENTARY | As soon as Barack Obama was re-elected on Nov. 6, speculation quickly turned to who might run in 2016. Hillary Clinton and Rick Santorum are two names frequently tossed around as likely choices.
Why Santorum runs
Santorum's primary victory in 2016 would follow a typical pattern in American politics, at least in recent history. The candidate who gets second place in his or her party's contested primary in one year typically wins the nomination the next time a primary is contended without an incumbent.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., came in a distant second to George W. Bush in 2000 for the GOP nomination. Eight years later, McCain was the chosen candidate to take on Obama. Mitt Romney came in second to McCain in 2008. In the 2012 race, Romney was the frontrunner in 2012 after earning name recognition in 2008. The pattern holds even farther back for Republicans. Bob Dole was the nominee in 1992 but was the runner up in 1988 to George H.W. Bush.
Santorum compared himself to Ronald Reagan in 1976 when he told The Weekly Standard he was "open" to a run in 2016. The piece, published Nov. 26, quoted the former senator from Pennsylvania when he called American politics a "fight... [for] the soul of the Republican Party...."
Why Clinton runs
The 2008 election was historic when two female candidates dominated the field--Clinton and Sarah Palin. Clinton was the runner up to Obama while Palin was on McCain's failed ticket. Victory in the Democratic primary is hers for the taking due to the runner-up status in 2008. As a trailblazer, Clinton can easily be the first female candidate for president.
A New York Times piece from Dec. 11 claims Clinton will be a "formidable" opponent in 2016 because of her years in the public eye, her many connections to donors and the lessons she learned in the 2008 primary season.
Clinton asserted to ABC News she doesn't "believe" she will run for nationwide office again. She'll be 69 years old when the election happens, which is something going against her. However, Obama was coy about running for president as late as a May 2006 article in Time magazine. Two years later, he was the Democratic nominee.

Rodney L. Taylor, Ph.D.: Winter Solstice: A Confucian View
Here in Colorado its that time of the year again: shorter days, longer nights. It may not be so obvious in its physical appearance in a world dominated by technology to address our every need and convenience -- after all, we are able to keep much of the darkness and cold at arm's length in the comfort of the world we have built. Yet the progression of Nature this time of year is steadily toward less and less light.
I am reminded of this progression by adjusting my solar panels on our mountain retreat to their near vertical position -- to capture as much of the diminishing light as possible with the now lower horizon line and fewer hours per day of sunlight. Writing from an off-grid setting miles up a dirt road at 9,000 feet in the Central Rockies of Colorado, I fill more hours of each day with "chopping wood and carrying water," as the Ch'an/Zen phrase would have it. And what a joy it is, kerosene lamps bringing light into steadily increasing hours of darkness each eve.
And then the nadir of light is reached -- that point at which light is closest to extinction and darkness pervades: Winter Solstice.
Religions worldwide, ancient and modern, have sought to address this point of greatest darknness be it by great bonfires burning through the longest night, decoration with greens or the burning of candles as reminders of the persistence of light, even "in the darkest hour."
Light will prevail, our traditions tell us, darkness will recede and even in the stony stillness of winter, life will flourish again. So we have the foundational metaphor of light and the particular meaning in this moment of the nadir of light, followed as it always is by its gradual increase.
The question before us is how Winter Solstice is viewed and interpreted in an even larger setting. Where world religions are often seen to incorporate the metaphor of darkness and light, little has been considered of a Confucian view of darkness and light or the nadir of light at Winter Solstice.
And, as the proverbial question would have it, what would Confucius say?
The answer, as one might expect, is that Confucius himself, like many religious founders, has little to say about a great variety of subjects. And Winter Solstice is certainly one of those! That does not exclude the topic from discussion in the later Confucian tradition, however, and one finds profound reflections upon the metaphors of light and dark as foundational to much of East Asian thought.
The most basic structure of such thought is found is the well-known symbol of Yin/Yang, a symbol ubiquitous to East Asian history and cultures. The Chinese characters contain the essential meaning of light and dark as ever changing phases of the coursing of all things, Nature and humanity alike. The totality of this changing and transforming universe is what generally is referred to as the Tao, the Way.
The motion of yin/yang is a circular one -- more a spiraling one -- ever changing between one phase and the other. As yin fulfills itself, inherent within it are the seeds of yang, and visa versa. All changes occur within the goodness of the nature of Nature, for there is no evil in the cosmology, most certainly not in darkness any more than light.
The major source for the philosophy of yin/yang is the Chinese Classic the I-Ching, "Book of Changes." Within the "Book of Changes" much of the philosophical speculations concerning yin/yang is found in the commentary hsi-tz'u chuan, "Great Treatise." It was often to this source that Confucians -- Chinese, Koreans and Japanese -- turned to understand the cosmology of yin/yang theory.
So, how does yin/yang theory connect to Winter Solstice?
To answer this question I turn to the writings of Okada Takehiko, a contemporary Japanese Confucian; and one of his books I translated a number of years ago, "Zazen to Seiza" (Buddhist and Confucian Meditation) (See R. L. Taylor, The Confucian Way of Contemplation, 1988).
This teaching focuses upon the "storing of wisdom," chih-ts'ang, a phrase the Confucian philosopher Chu Hsi (1130-1200) found in the "Great Treatise" of the "Book of Changes." The source of this teaching for Chu Hsi begins with the fundamental Confucian teaching of the Four Beginnings, ssu-tuan, of the moral nature of each person -- goodness, righteousness, propriety and wisdom. Chu Hsi and a lineage of teachers direct to Okada himself extend such "beginnings" to the nature of the universe and interpret wisdom, chih, as the endpoint and fulfillment of such teachings.
And here is the connection to Winter Solstice. When those same Four Beginnings are placed in the context of the four seasons, wisdom, chih, corresponds to winter.
The metaphor is profound: Wisdom for these Confucians is the endpoint of the Four Beginnings and it is best understood within the context of winter.
In Okada's own words:
"Stored wisdom is boundless and empty, but in it there is included all existence. It is the totality of principle with no distinguishing characteristics, and within it there is a vigorous activity. Therefore it is the unity of existence and activity. In terms of the four seasons it is the moment of midnight of the winter solstice, and it corresponds to the point of time when quietude is completely exhausted and subtle function is about to begin moving." (Okada, Zazen to seiza in Taylor, Confucian Way of Contemplation, p.148)
There are many technical points of later Confucian metaphysics in this passage, but what should be very clear is the degree to which Winter Solstice holds meaning as a profound metaphor for the acquisition of wisdom within the Confucian tradition.
And so, as we come once again to that shortest day and deepest night, consider the ways in which humankind has sought to find meaning, profound meaning, in the cycling of light and dark, the yin and yang of cosmic process, with the Confucian recognition of wisdom as that which is more often than not seen as "through a glass, darkly" (1 Corinthians 13:12).
