DUBLIN -- A woman who evaded arrest for two months after attacking a 73-year-old blues singer at a Hayward music festival surrendered to authorities Thursday morning and is being held on charges of felony assault and felony elder abuse, police said.
Dinalynn ¿Inez Andrews-Potter, 43, of Barstow, was charged Aug. 14 by the Alameda County District Attorney's Office but eluded law enforcement until she showed up at Santa Rita Jail and was booked, according to Alameda County Sheriff's office spokesman J.D. Nelson.
She remains jailed on $85,000 bail and is due Friday ¿afternoon at the Hayward Hall of Justice for her arraignment.
Lester Chambers, a Petaluma resident and former member of the 1960s soul group the Chambers Brothers, was performing at the Hayward Russell City Blues Festival about 5:15 p.m. July 13 when he dedicated Curtis Mayfield's hit "People Get Ready" to Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old shot and killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in Florida last year.
At the time, a Florida jury was still deliberating in Zimmerman's murder trial; they would acquit Zimmerman on a charge of second-degree murder about two hours later.
"Mr. Chambers is elated with that (news of the arrest)," said Oakland attorney John Burris, who is representing the musician in a $5 million lawsuit against the city of Hayward. "He's been waiting for this (arrest), so this is good news for him."
Witnesses told police that Andrews-Potter jumped on stage and yelled "it's all your fault" before shoving Chambers to the ground. The incident was caught on video by someone in the audience and later posted online.
Despite Chambers' injuries -- he was treated and released at a hospital for a welt on his backside, a bruised rib muscle, nerve damage and soreness, his son said after the attack -- Hayward police cited and released Andrews-Potter the same night. On Aug. 14, an Alameda County Superior Court judge issued a warrant for her arrest.
Burris said Chambers, who is slated to be inducted into the R&B Hall of Fame later this year, had to go back into the hospital earlier this week to be treated for significant bruising on his ribs. He has since been released, Burris said. "He's still achy but he's trying," Burris said.
Hayward investigators then reached out to Las Vegas officials for help tracking down Andrews-Potter, as she is well-known to authorities there.
Las Vegas officers performing a welfare check July 3 on Andrews-Potter discovered heavy smears of blood across two bedroom walls of her apartment, police said. Police determined that she had stabbed herself inside the residence.

Citation: Cray, P.J. 2011. Been There, Done That, Now What? [abstract] 100th Annual Meeting of the International Association for Food Protection, July 30 - August 4, 2011, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, p.45. Technical Abstract: Production of food is complex and ensuring the safety of food for human consumption provides serious challenges. The global population in 2010 was estimated at 6 billion people requiring production of more than 200 billion food animals for consumption. The challenges thus far have been met, in large part, by adoption of intensive production systems, often controlled as an integrated system from the rearing through processing for retail. However, population growth is expected to reach or exceed 10 billion people by 2050. With deforestation increasing, urban sprawl and decreased land mass available for production how will we increase the food supply to meet growing demand? This presentation will explore the challenges facing us, discuss approaches to this challenge and the potential impact on our ability to continue producing the high quality and quantity of safe and affordable food stuffs.

Loan Program Proving Very Successful It is most satisfying to know that hrough all the loan applications processed through the Credit office that there would be such an outstanding improvement over a period of years in some of our loan clients. We have reviewed one in particular which we believe will be both interesting and enlightening to many of you. In June, 1947 an application in the amount of $5,000 was approved for the purchase of 80 acres of land. The borrower has been working in farming all his life and because he and his father did not have sufficient land for the joint operation of farming, he wanted to expand and also be able to have some land of his own to farm. At that time, his total assets equaled $500.00 plus his crops totaling $175.00, and his income for the year totaled $1200.00. Today, in reviewing a new application from the borrower, we find this: Total Assets, $37,375.00; Expenses $3,695.95, Bills and previous Loan, $4,585.00; Crops, 'Livestock and Per Capita Payments, Asset, $10,175.00 which is the total annual income. He is now planning to purchase more land. Facts such as this cannot be presented everyday and some people who obtain loans cannot show such improvement due to poor management, crop failures, and no available lands in order to expand. We know that due to the borrower's hard work and will to improve, the above improvement has been brought about. In reviewing the Educational Loan Ap-Dlication that have been and are being rocessed through the Credit Office, we ¿oH that the students continuing in College have chosen varied fields of work in which to devote a major part of their lives. We now have 23 loans from students who are going or have already completed their course of study. We have nine applications pending and which we hope to complete before the year is out. The fields of study chosen by these applicants are as follows: 12 have chosen Teaching and 5 of these are also planning to be Athletic Coaches or Physical Education Instructors, 3 plan to be Registered Nurses, 3 have interest in Stenographic work, and we have applications for one of each of the following: Dietician, Chemistry, Electrician, Body and Fender, Civil Engineer, Child Leader and Development, Practical Nursing, Social Worker, Business Commercial, I.B.M. Operator, Barber, Attorney, Nuclear Physicist, and one undecided as to which vocation to select. The Tribe, as a whole can justly be proud that more and more of our young people are wanting to seek higher educations and have chosen wisely the field in which they believe will be best suited to them. Public Health Ordinance BE IT ENACTED by the Tribal Council of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, in special session this 14th day of August, 1958, THAT: Any Indian residing on Tribal property who fails to keep the premises upon which they reside clean of debris or any Indian who is found depositing trash of any description upon Tribal property which is not designated as a dump ground area, shall be guUty of defacing Tribal CHAR-KOOSTA PUBLISHED BY CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES, FLATHEAD AGENCY.

Seib & Co.: What We're Reading Monday
Christie Could Face Narrower Straits, Even After Bridge Scandal Passes
So is he toast? Has the bridge scandal dashed Chris Christie's 2016 dreams? Or might the New Jersey governor emerge from all this a firmer front-runner for having been tested?
Truth is, no one can say, as much could still scramble what we know now about the weird "bridge-gate" that has convulsed the political class.
But this much seems certain: Gov. Christie and his political image have been altered by the past week's turmoil in ways—subtle and otherwise—that will ripple long after the facts have been settled.
By necessity, the governor himself will be more circumscribed and more cautious. His margin for error will be narrower, as will the range of themes he can freely deploy during an upcoming presidential campaign, should he decide to leap into the 2016 fray.
A quick scan of the political blogs and Twitter shows another shift that will do Mr. Christie little good in the months ahead: Where once he was the subject of fairly doting coverage, he is now the butt of bullying jokes. Where once he boasted of his bipartisan bonhomie with the Democrats in New Jersey, there is now talk in the statehouse of impeachment.
The range of opinion on the damage done to Mr. Christie so far remains wide, even among conservatives. Several prominent Republicans rose to the governor's defense this weekend, arguing that the swiftness and firmness of his response on Thursday restored confidence in his leadership.
Then there's the school that believes Mr. Christie may emerge stronger from the battle, among them veteran Republican strategist Karl Rove, GOP chairman Reince Priebus and former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour.
The governor's scrappy defense, Mr. Rove said Sunday on Fox News, "probably gives him some street cred with tea party Republicans who say, 'That's what we want in a leader.' "
But far from all Republicans are so rosy in their views. Two of Mr. Christie's potential 2016 rivals, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, have made a show of not wanting to wade into the controversy.
Conservative commentators like Rush Limbaugh argue that Mr. Christie kneecapped himself right before the 2012 presidential election, when he embraced President Barack Obama amid the wreckage of Superstorm Sandy.
Others take a more nuanced view.
Among that school is Lynn Vavreck, a UCLA political science professor who has done a lot of work on what does and doesn't ruin the aspirations of presidential hopefuls. Ms. Vavreck co-wrote "The Gamble," a data-driven analysis of the 2012 presidential campaign that found most of the big game-change moments—Mitt Romney's 47% video, for instance, or President Obama's abysmal first debate performance—were mere blips against the bigger forces driving that election.
Interestingly, Ms. Vavreck believes Mr. Christie won't get off scot-free from his run-in with the George Washington Bridge.
"Even if this passes quickly with no more revelations, a bunch of campaign topics just got wiped off the table for him," she says. "He can't ever talk proactively again about transportation, infrastructure-building, even probably anything like 'making it easier for Americans to carry out the day-to-day activities they need to get by.' "
In Ms. Vavreck's view, Mr. Christie has been thematically limited by the bridge scandal. "He, for example, cannot be the 'Rebuild America' candidate for 2016," she says.
We can expect a stream of national polls in coming weeks to give us a better sense of whether Mr. Christie has taken a real blow from the first big political whodunnit of the 2016 presidential race.
But even that data won't capture the many small ways the bridge imbroglio could continue to cast a shadow on Gov. Christie.

Center Chris Herperger was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the midst of his five year Junior career that he split between the Swift Current Broncos and the Seattle Thunderbirds.
Half way through his first full season as a professional, which was spent entirely in the minor leagues, Herperger was traded by the Flyers to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in exchange for veteran checker Bob Corkum. Herperger spent the rest of that season and all of the next one with the Ducks minor league affiliate in Baltimore. His first full year with Baltimore Herperger found his scoring touch by scoring 19 goals and 41 points. Despite his success, the Ducks organization let him go at season's end.
Herperger signed on with the Canadian National Team where he provided a solid scoring touch by chipping in 20 goals and 30 assists. His impressive play with Team Canada earned him a new contract which eventually led to his ticket to the National Hockey League.
The Chicago Blackhawks inked Herperger and he spent the year in Indianapolis honing his game. The following year was also spent primarily in the minors, though he did receive that call he'd been waiting for when the 'Hawks decided to bring him up to the big team and give him a look.
Herperger suited up for nine games with Chicago but was unable to provide any offense for them, though he did receive a major penalty. Things went much better the next year when Chicago made him a regular and he responded with 10 goals and 25 points in 63 games. He impressed the brass by playing solidly in both ends and excelling in the face off circle while finding a home on the third line with hard working style. At season's end Herperger fell into a unique situation. Because he was over 25 years old and had played less then 80 NHL games in his career he had the opportunity to become an unrestricted free agent. Though the 'Hawks tried to resign him before the July 1 deadline, he instead elected to test the free agency waters. Shortly after he received an attractive offer from the Ottawa Senators and left Chicago.
With Ottawa Herperger settled into a checking role with the Senators. Though his offensive production slipped to just four goals and 13 points while racking up 43 penalty minutes, Herperger's role in the Senators system was different then Chicago. Coach Jacques Martin required Herperger to concentrate more on his defensive play, which limited his production.

Nuts and Seeds
|This catalog has no sub-catalogs.
Completely unpasteurized almonds from Italy! Buon appetito!
Our Italian almonds are grown on the sunny slopes of Sicilly and come from highly prized hard shell almond trees. Hard-shelled almonds are more intensely flavored, have a higher concentration of almond oil and are much more rare and difficult to harvest. We think they are definitely worth the effort because that hard shell protects the seed and allows it to fully develop its essential almond-ness. Molto bene!
Almonds are high in antioxidant vitamin E, fiber, and monounsaturated fats. They're also an excellent source of manganese, magnesium, tryptophan, copper, vitamin B12 and phosphorus.
Ingredients: Premium, organic, whole, raw Italian almonds.

Evidence for the Implementation of the Final Solution: Electronic Edition, by Browning, Christopher R.Table of Contents
|<< C. Camouflage Langauge
|< [Introduction] Documentar...
D. Implications:
The systematic mass-murder of Jews on occupied Soviet territory primarily through shooting, with the explicit goal of making these territories "free of Jews," is clearly visible in the surviving German documents. Both method and goal are transparent. The commanders in the field were explicitly told to report extensively, as both Hitler and Himmler were to be kept well informed. Clearly their reports were intended to show that government policy was being carried out with zeal and efficiency. Their actions were neither the unauthorized initiatives of a few rogue commanders nor the product of a sporadic breakdown in discipline in the heat of battle.
Such a thorough documentation does not exist concerning the fate of the Jews from the rest of Europe. What can be learned from these documents concerning the intentions and actions of the regime and its use of language is essential, however, in interpreting the scantier documentation, evaluating the credibility of eyewitness testimony, and drawing conclusions from circumstantial evidence.

Fledgling video-chat startup OnTheAir has been acquired by Yahoo, providing a fast–and fat–return for investors and fresh talent for Yahoo as the Internet giant seeks to reinvent itself as a mobile powerhouse. Launched just nine months ago and funded with $880,000 from investors including True Ventures, Triple Point Ventures and individuals, OnTheAir commanded just under $10 million, according to a person with direct knowledge of the deal.
ShopKeep.com has raised a $10 million Series B round led by Canaan Partners as it continues development of a cloud-based alternative to the conventional point-of-sale system that turns an iPad into a cash register. ShopKeep founder and Chief Executive Jason Richelson said he thought of the idea for ShopKeep in 2008 when he was running his own retail business in the New York area, and discovered how hard it was to find a good online POS system.
Also in today's VentureWire, Andreessen Horowitz led a new $30 million round for CipherCloud, again backing one of its early seed investments in the cloud data-security space. Other existing investors Index Ventures and T-Venture, the venture capital unit of Deutsche Telekom AG, also participated…Zafgen has raised $21 million in Series D financing to fund clinical studies of a drug for severely obese patients, after the approval this year by U.S. regulators of obesity drugs from biotechnology companies Arena Pharmaceuticals and Vivus…and Kona Medical has closed its Series C round at $40 million after new and returning investors added $10 million to the round. Kona is a 25-employee startup that aims to compete with the country's largest and best-regarded medical-technology companies by offering the first completely non-invasive treatment for hypertension.

ZeptoLab, which developed online game "Cut The Rope" and is launching "Pudding Monsters," has managed without venture capital so far. CEO Misha Lyalin tells Wall Street Journal blog Digits about the startup.
Text messaging, that cash cow for wireless service providers, faces disruption from apps that enable people to send messages via the Internet for free, the New York Times says. Among the disrupters is startup WhatsApp.

COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. -- A man is behind bars after allegedly grabbing the breasts of three different women at Walmarts in Columbia County on Saturday.
Javantroi Walden is being charged with three counts of misdemeanor sexual battery.
The first victim said she was shopping with her son around 6:40 a.m. at the Walmart in Evans when a black male came up and grabbed her breast. The man then left the store in a dark older model Buick.
She described him as being between 30 and 40 years old, about 6 feet tall and approximately 200 pounds. He was wearing a dark, long-sleeved shirt with dark pants.
The second incident happened around 7:25 a.m. at the Walmart on Bobby Jones. This victim said she was walking inside when a black male grabbed her breast. The victim's description of the man matched that of the first incident.
The third incident happened around the same time at the Walmart on Bobby Jones. The victim said she was also at the Walmart when a black male grabbed her breast.

It's bittersweet, people keep telling me. And it is. The excitement levels are rising rapidly but so is that horrible nauseous feeling.
As I write this piece, my husband John is busy packing the last of the boxes that can be packed for now. Colum, my 17-month-old, is unpacking them and our 12-week-old daughter, Sadie, is watching all this unfold.
I've been given a stern warning that I only have two hours to complete this article as John wants to take apart my work desk and get it ready for the container that is due to arrive on Friday.
We leave this wonderful place on Monday, May 21. We are ready to start the next chapter of our lives in Ireland.
It will be hard to close this last one, though. John and I have had an amazing time in New York. It has been so good to us, and we leave with only good things to say about the people and the place.
TO date my life reads like a book – a happy one with little or no tragedy.
I grew up in Tralee, Co. Kerry. I spent a number of years studying in Co. Cork and Bristol, England. I worked as a sign language Interpreter around Ireland for a few years, trained as a television presenter and producer in Dublin and then came to New York for nine glorious years.
The next chapter will begin in Limerick (my husband's county), and who knows how that will play out.
We had a few going away drinks in Moriarty's Bar on McLean Avenue on Friday night. It was nice (and also sad) to be with all our friends one last time under the same roof.
When I came home that night I spent some time reflecting on our time here in New York and the wonderful memories we created over the past nine years.
I had only ever been to Europe prior to my big move to New York back in 2003, so arriving in New York that September was slightly overwhelming and also very exciting. Everything was enormous – the buildings, the food portions and the big personalities.
I had aspirations – to make the most of my short time here (I had planned to spend two years at the most in the country), learn the American way, meet Prince Charming, find a new career and stalk some celebrities.
A friend of mine who had lived in New York for a few years before moving back to Ireland (and now lives in Dubai) warned me, "New York will harden you April."
At the time this statement meant very little to me, but now I understand. The first day I took the subway into Manhattan I was overcome with emotion seeing all the homeless people scattered throughout the city. I would spend the following few weeks giving them a dollar here and there.
This eventually subsided, and if I'm being brutally honest I'm not sure the last time I took notice of a homeless man or woman. That makes me sad a little.
A few days of settling in flew by that first week, and after five days of searching for work a lovely family living on the Upper East Side took me under their wing. I was to become a Manhattan nanny.
I was blown away by the maturity of the two boys I looked after. They were my first educators in New York.
After a year with this family I moved on to the customer service sector. I took a job waitressing in Eileen's Country Kitchen in Yonkers. There I met my best friend in New York Marion Moriarty, learned the difference between over easy and sunny side up, and realized the importance of tipping.
I eventually moved on to an office job before going back to the service industry. Finally in 2006 I was given an opportunity like no other.
I was asked to submit an article about a trip I took to Philadelphia on behalf of the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform (ILIR). With a lot of hesitation (my education was all through the Irish language so English was never my strong suit) I completed my very first assignment for the Irish Voice, and a few weeks later I found myself sitting behind a rather large desk on 31st Street. It was then I realized my American dream was becoming a reality.
By this time I had met my Prince Charming (in Behan's Bar on Katonah Avenue the Christmas before) and knew then New York would have a hold on me longer than I had initially planned.
What I didn't know at the time was I'd stay another seven years, get engaged, married and have two kids.
In that short space John and I traveled a lot of the United States – I stood in a cell in Alcatraz where inmates once slept, I climbed the steps Rocky Balboa once jogged, I became an avid boxing fan and attended many fights in Madison Square Garden.
I also talked rubbish to Liam Neeson about immigration reform, told Bono he was a legend during a brief interview at the United Nations and followed Miley from Glenroe (an Irish television program) around the Irish Consulate one night.
I visited the Playboy mansion in LA on a work assignment and stood only feet away from where Hugh Heffner was sleeping. I also told Ian Paisley's son I thought his dad was cute, tripped over Brian Cowen's foot during one of his New York official visits, had a candid chat with Michael Flatley and had my picture taken with Colum and President Bill Clinton.

The Astronaut's Test
The first player in each line has the dowel. On signal, he runs to a line about 15 feet away, sets the dowel upright with one end touching the ground, the other end touching his forehead. Supporting the stick with his hands, he walks around it five times. Then he drops the stick and runs back to touch off the next player on his team. And so on, until all have had a turn.

InsaneScouter Monthly Tip
A den bulletin doodle board can be made from a 2 foot section of pegboard, decorated with colorful paint. The board can be used to inform Cub Scouts and Den Leaders of their duties and coming activities. Notes, clippings, or reminders of the various jobs and activities are clipped to the board each week. Name plates for each Cub Scout in the den are attached to the bottom of the doodle board. Colorful pop-it beads can be snapped into the board and to one another to show rank advancement for each boy.
InsaneScouter Moment - Reach For The Stars
There used to be a saying that if a man had great ambition, he was "reaching for the stars". The idea was that he was so eager to succeed he was willing to try the impossible, to reach for the stars.
That doesn't seem so impossible anymore. Men have walked on the moon, a feat that was only dreamed of not so many years ago. And by the way, did you know that the first astronauts who walked on the moon were Scouts? One of them, Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon, is an Eagle Scout. That tells you something about the kind of man he is.
The scientists and astronauts in our space program brought the impossible dream of reaching for the stars much closer to reality. Men will never really walk on the stars. If they tried, they would get a terrible hot foot. But the stars do not seem so far away as they used to be.
Still the idea expressed in the phrase, "reaching for the stars," is still valid. It tells us that to enjoy life to the fullest, we must stretch our abilities to the limit. A Scout who does his best in everything he tries will become the kind of man who reaches for the stars.
Please feel free to forward our newsletter on to anyone it may benefit.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Men's Tennis team will have one less match to worry about during the final week of the season, as the previously scheduled April 21 match against UT Arlington has been cancelled.
With UT Arlington having a long way to travel for a single match, and the Islanders playing two matches already during the week, both coaches agreed to cancel the match that was set for Sunday.
The change means that the Islanders match on Saturday, April 20 against Texas – Pan American will now be the final match of the regular season and will also be senior day for Gergo Weidinger and Andrew Maingot.
The duo will be recognized during the match for their contributions to Islanders Men's Tennis.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi is currently in first place of the Southland Conference standings, and can clinch their sixth consecutive title with a win either on Thursday, April 18, against Lamar, or the previously mentioned match on Saturday.
Both will be held at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center, and admission is free to the public.
Following the end of the regular season, the team will travel to Beaumont for the Southland Conference Tournament starting on April 26 at the Thompson Family Tennis Center.

CUR(EAT) The Act Of Drinking Beer With Friends Is The Highest Form Of Art
"I like the idea that the work is invisible until a person looks for it and, by following clues, discovers it was there all the time." -Tom Marioni
Born in Cincinnati in 1937, Tom Marioni studied drawing, sculpture, and printmaking at the Cincinnati Art Academy, and in 1959 moved to San Francisco where he began to experiment with performance, sound, the sense of taste, and other non-traditional media.
A pioneer of the West Coast Conceptual Art movement, Marioni drew inspiration from artists such as Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968), John Cage (1912–1992), and Joseph Beuys (1921–1986), all of whom challenged the conventions of art. Emphasizing ideas rather than objects as the basis for art, these artists exercised a profound influence on Marioni and other conceptual artists of the 1960's. In 1968, Marioni became a curator at the Bay Area's Richmond Art Center, where he mounted a series of ambitious Conceptual Art shows. In 1970, he founded the Museum of Conceptual Art in San Francisco, where he continued to experiment, viewing the concept of the museum as an extension of his work, until he closed it in 1984.
Following in the tradition of the "readymade"—Duchamp's name for common or found objects, which he recontextualized as art—Marioni employed mundane substances such as beer, elevating its significance from a common means of socialization to a catalyst for creative expression and social interaction. This meant that drinking beer with friends could be as profound an experience as gazing at the Mona Lisa. Thus, in Marioni's view, the act of communication itself takes on aesthetic significance. Like Cage, whose work highlighted chance and ordinary sounds as music, Marioni attempts to make art that is as close to everyday life as possible without becoming life itself. Similar to Beuys, who privileged creative action over the precious and static art object, Marioni's conversations and gatherings expand the conventions of painting and sculpture.
The Act Of Drinking Beer With Friends Is The Highest Form Of Art
Select Wednesdays in September, October, & November
Join us for The Act Of Drinking Beer With Friends Is The Highest Form Of Art with special guests from the Wilmington community. DCCA will host four Wednesday evening events in our Constance S. and Robert J. Hennessy Project Space Gallery this Fall with local celebrities encouraging great conversation in Tom Marioni's beer bar installation. Marioni is a California-based conceptual artist who re-defines the gallery space, elevating the act of drinking beer to one of aesthetic significance. Must be 21 to attend. Space is limited so register early! Special guests TBA.

Natural Forces
Alison Stigora's exhibition features raw and discarded materials assembled into discrete sculptural elements. Seed is a swollen elliptical formation made of charred tree limbs that evokes metaphors of birth and death while Ascents appears as an ascending tangle of branches between columns reflecting growth through the gallery. In the corner lies Pyramidion, a gilded trove of cardboard that proffers an illuminated path to the unknown. When viewed together, these individual forms complete the artist's three-dimensional interpretation of the past, present, and future.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1997 Summer European Tour."
It could be argued that the second have of the set peter's out, which, in terms of must-hear-ness, it does, but I'd say it still makes a pretty cohesive whole with the first half. It was, after all, only Wading's third performance ever. A fact that makes that song much more palatable for me. Piper is super short, but still enjoyable, and JJLC is good as usual. I even liked this Caspian quite a bit. This is one of my favorite sets from Summer Europe '97.
As for the first set, there's nothing that needs to be heard. Personally, I *really* like Summer Europe '97, so I totally enjoyed it, but there's nothing that stands out from the ordinary. Now, if we could combine the next night's first set with this night's second set we'd have one hell of a show! However, those sets are in fact separated by 24 hours and 330 kilometers. Be that as it may, I'll take'm as they are, it's all just great music!

John Child talks with the producers Oscar Hernández and Aaron Luis Levinson
The Making of
Across 110th Street
by the
Spanish Harlem Orchestra
ohn Child
talks with the producers
Oscar Hernández
Aaron Luis Levinson
Across 110th Street
, the Spanish Harlem Orchestra's much-anticipated follow-up to their Grammy nominated debut CD
Un Gran Dia En El Barrio
. This time round, the production features multi-talented superstar
Rubén Blades
guesting on four tracks
JIC (John Ian Child):
In my view,
Across 110th Street
(2004 on Libertad Records) surpasses the Spanish Harlem Orchestra's debut CD
Un Gran Dia En El Barrio
(2002 on Ryko / Ropeadope Records).
OH (Oscar Hernández):
I, too, feel this is a better CD than our first one. I hope that this translates to the masses so we can continue our work in a fashion worthy of the calibre of music.
ALL (Aaron Luis Levinson):
I agree that it goes beyond the first record, I think, on every level. The significant factor is that on the second album the band has now gigged together around the world for two years and been nominated for a Grammy! The playing in particular exhibits a tightness and ease not as evident the first time out. The degree to which this intense roadwork has changed the precision and swing of the band is astounding. The "mazacote" in this iteration of the ensemble is not to be believed. As far as dancers go, this stuff is a controlled substance. From the anorak's viewpoint this features blistering moñas from El Monero Mayor, Jimmy Bosch, as well the usual mind-bending playing from Chino Nuñez, Bobby Allende, George Delgado, Oscar and the rest of the guys.
One noticeable thing about the band's second outing is the change in personnel, particularly the new frontline singers
Willie Torres
Marco Bermudez
with only Ray de la Paz remaining. Frankie Vázquez leaving the fold was a bit of a shock in the Child household. We saw Willie Torres for the first time in September 2003 when the Spanish Harlem Orchestra performed in the UK. Marco Bermudez is familiar to us via his recorded work with Isidro Infante's Elite and Los Jovenes del Barrio. I remember Frankie saying in his Descarga.com interview that Martin Arroyo was initially considering Marco as the lead singer for Los Soneros del Barrio. So being recruited to the Spanish Harlem Orchestra is an ironic twist.
Here's the real kicker: I was let's say, concerned, that with the exit of both Hermán Olivera and Frankie Vázquez from the original vocal unit that we would have a hard time equaling that level of sonero firepower on the next outing. Well, I was needlessly fretful as the work done by our new trio de cantantes is simply smashing. The introduction of two new singers to the salsa field, Willie Torres and Marco Bermudez, is also a coup as it demonstrates clearly that salsa music is not just another Frankie Negrón clone of Marc Anthony. To be reunited with my old partner in crime Jimmy Bosch was a special thrill. I feel the album
Soneando Trombón
(1998 on RykoLatino) we did together was to some extent the start of a return to a "Nuevo Típico" style in salsa, especially in New York City. This album is to some degree the logical evolution from that humble beginning. Anyway, with the participation of
Rubén Blades
as our featured guest, I feel safe in saying that not only did we evade the dreaded sophomore slump, but we actually beat the pants off the first outing in many respects.
Whilst not radically changed, the band has a discernibly "different" sound on the new album, especially the coro. I would be interested in your response to this observation?
This is just a byproduct of Willie, Marco and Ray doing the coros as opposed to the first album where it was Ray, Frankie and Hermán - so it's bound to sound different. (Both good though!) Also certain decisions are made on the spot so they sound unique to the moment. For example, who sings what voice.
Soneando Trombón
was a milestone in the "Nuevo Tipico" movement. Oscar, would you like to add anything about the lineup changes on
Across 110th Street
Well, when new singers bring their sound and style to the game, it's going to sound somewhat different. I do not want to be reliant on the sound of a particular singer. I want the Spanish Harlem Orchestra to have a sound no matter who sings.
I hear what you're saying Oscar. In other words, you're reasserting the traditional model of a fixed and decisive leadership instituting a band with a trademark sound and changeable personnel, like the Machito and Tito Puente organisations in their heyday, and Sonora Ponceña and El Gran Combo surviving in present day Puerto Rico. Please tell me about the significance of the title
Across 110th Street
Well it references both a famous '60s gangster film set in Harlem and also refers to being in the heart of Spanish Harlem itself. If you go to the neighbourhood you will find that below the real 110th Street sign, is says Tito Puente Blvd. To this day no neighbourhood on earth is more steeped in salsa history than the blocks around 110th Street on the east side of Harlem.
Let's start talking about the making of the album. The album opens with a Gil López arrangement of the Tito Puente composition "Cuando Te Vea" (originally from Puente's
Dance Mania
'58 on RCA and notably reinterpreted by Bobby Valentín for his album
Rey Del Bajo
'74 on Fania). Actually Gil's chart reminded me of the work he was doing for Ray Barreto's band from the mid-'70s to early '80s.
That's a sound that I loved very much and
Gil López
was an important person in making it happen. It is a sound I wanted to be part of our sound.
Ray de la Paz's version of "Cuando Te Vea" is like platinum, chic but shiny in the right way! He is able to give any singer in salsa music a run for their money, Rubén included!
I was recently re-listening to Gil López' work on Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis's
(1961 on Riverside), for which he wrote four tunes and all the arrangements. Please tell me more about the importance of Gil's contribution to the history of Latin music in New York?
Starting with his work as a pianist with Puente, Gil was at the epicenter of the explosion of this music in New York City. He was there for much of the Palladium years and, as a participant in that remarkable age, he is one of the last living architects of that era. Now that the Big Three are gone, as is the Queen, we are in an age when we need to gain all the wisdom we can from these majestic artists. Gil is a musical jewel and if there were any justice in the world, guys like him would be receiving MacArthur awards and NEA grants. But alas, this country has not grown up enough yet to fully give Latino artists the recognition they deserve, and it remains a sore point with me on a personal level, being the son of two artists myself!
He has a style that's uniquely his own, and it represents a direct link to the great music that preceded me in this business. I could also do a great arrangement of those songs but it wouldn't be the same. It would not sound like Gil's. That's what I love about using different arrangers. They all bring their own distinctive voice and style.
Gil's other chart is of the bolero "Esperame En El Cielo," which Aaron described to me elsewhere as "heart-breakingly beautiful." Was the Celia Cruz version (available on
Celia Cruz: Boleros
on Seeco) the inspiration to include the song? Please tell me more?
This was my idea! I loved the song and thought it would be a good idea to feature the three singers as in the old trio style, except with the twist of having an orchestra accompany them.
I'd like to talk now about Rubén's contribution. Oscar, how did Rubén come to be involved in the follow-up project?
We accompanied Rubén for an event here in New York, and he was aware of the success we were having. I mentioned to Juan Toro (his manager) that we were looking for a guest artist for the new CD and he said that he thought Rubén might be interested. We proposed it to him and worked out the details, and here we are!
Aaron, I understand Rubén was originally slated to perform only three numbers, and he recorded the vocals for these in one session in February 2004.
I'm sure it was old hat for Oscar, but for me it was one of the greatest moments of my entire life. He was such a gentleman and a consummate professional at every level. Rubén graced our album with some of the hippest singing I have ever witnessed. "Force of nature" may be an over-used phrase but its accuracy in this case is uncanny. He recorded all three songs, "Un Gran Dia En El Barrio," "Bailadores" and "Como Lo Canto Yo," in three hours - top to bottom. He was variously, serious, hilarious, profound and profane, often within the same soneando. His dedication and relentless drive was obvious and demonstrated why he is the Latin Renaissance man. Whatever else I've witnessed as a producer was easily matched by hearing Rubén sing those three songs, it was jaw-dropping.
Let's look at each of Rubén's tunes in turn. "Un Gran Dia En El Barrio," the title of the first album, is an original number. Though oddly the composer Ray de la Paz does not sing it. What's the story here? I'd like to address the question to Oscar, who arranged the track.
I thought it might be a great song for Rubén to sing and I asked Ray if he would mine if Rubén sang it. Obviously he didn't mind, and Ray also got a kick out of Rubén singing his song.
Aaron, after the instrumental recording phase of
Across 110th Street
was wrapped up in late January 2004; you predicted that "Cuando Te Vea" and Ray de la Paz's composition "Un Gran Dia En El Barrio" would be smashes on the dance floor. Do you still hold this view?
I sure do. I think that "Bailadores" may also fill that niche as well. I test drove that track at a Cuban club I deejay at on occasion and the place went bananas! So if that is any indicator, it should work everywhere!
The second from Rubén's initial session is a great version of the title track of the Joe Cuba Sextet's 1965 album
on Tico. This is also the second Héctor Rivera composition to be interpreted by the Spanish Harlem Orchestra. Please fill me in on the background to this selection?
Well Oscar can tell you more specifically, but as I understood it, when Oscar dealt with Rubén, Oscar and I both wanted him to give us some genuine input as to some songs he had always loved and never recorded, and apparently this song was a long standing favourite. The original version stands up amazingly well today. If you play that record you cannot help but be impressed by the clarity of the recording, the outrageous percussion work throughout and the fact that Cheo was simply a tsunami of sabor, or tsabor I suppose you might say! I am pretty sure I know why, but I am thrilled that the Joe Cuba Sextet is enjoying a renaissance amongst many hip non-Latin deejays around the world. I am not talking about salsa deejays, I am talking about soul / jazz / funk / hip-hop deejays who are starting to study this stuff and incorporate it into their sets as an extension of their concept of "groove music." The soneo paying homage to Nestor Sánchez in "Bailadores" is to me a particularly poignant moment amidst a torrent of ideas and commentary. According to virtually everyone who has heard a snatch of Rubén's work on this album, he is at the zenith of his career as a singer right now! I compare this with Sinatra circa the Capitol years.
I thought this would be a good song for Rubén since he was always such a Joe Cuba Sextet fan and a big fan of Cheo. So I knew this would be a good choice. Plus the bottom line, as always, it's a swinging song. Period!
An irony I would like you to comment on is, bearing in mind the intense criticism Rubén used to receive in the early days for sounding like Cheo Feliciano; here we have the mature Mr Blades taking on a notable Cheo number.
In fact, Rubén covered another Joe Cuba Sextet recording featuring Cheo on lead vocals. The tune was "A Las Seis," originally from Joe Cuba's
Steppin' Out
'62 on Seeco, which Rubén recorded with Los Salvajes del Ritmo in Panama in 1968 [reissued in
Rubén Blades Con Salvajes del Ritmo
'96 on Lucuso])
It's obvious Rubén has some Cheo influence, but he still has his own unique voice and style. Knowing Rubén, I am sure anyone saying that he sounds like Cheo doesn't bother him. On the contrary, he'll think it's a good thing.
If I can chime in. I'd like to say that it all seems like a long time ago and that things have changed so radically from the mid-'70s when that observation was being made. Today, with so many other giants gone, the obvious influence exerted by Cheo on a formative Rubén Blades seems both profound and honorable set in the context of our age. All I can say is that Rubén was using a towering figure as his model of inspiration. "If we have seen so far it is only because we stood on the shoulders of giants." (I'm sure I've butchered that beautiful quote but I pray the point survives my mangling of it.)
The third, and arguably the strongest and most powerful number from Rubén's February session is the Tite Curet Alonso composition "Como Lo Canto Yo", arranged by Oscar. Presumably the source of the tune is Justo Betancourt's 1975 Fania album
Lo Sabemos
, when Papo Lucca did the arranging honours. Please give me the lowdown on this track?
This is a case of another swinging song from back in time sung by one of the great soneros of that era, Justo Betancourt. Being the great singer that he is, I knew Rubén would be up to the challenge of making it his own.
What's the story behind the subsequent recording of the bonus track "Tu Te Lo Pee Pee" written and sung by Rubén, which I understand was making waves on the underground scene in Puerto Rico before the release of the album?
Many months before in fact. The actual title " Tu Te Lo Pierdes" means "It's Your Loss" in Spanish. Rubén made a recording in a basement studio that he took to a major salsa station on the island and asked the PD to play it just to see what the response might be. It was phenomenal and as it was never commercially released there are now thousands of people on the island who have cassette copies taped off the radio of this demo version of the song. When we first heard it in the studio, frankly, people laughed so hard that tears came to their eyes. At first, we were unsure as to whether it "went" with the rest of the album. We decided that if a sense of humour now seemed "out of place," we were probably taking ourselves way too seriously. In the end we put it on as a bonus track, because we did do it as "lagniappe" as they say in New Orleans, something extra, just because we could!
This is a song I did not want on the CD. I thought conceptually it did not fit. However, Aaron and John Robertson persuaded me that with a Spanish Harlem Orchestra style arrangement it could be made to work as a bonus track, and that's the case here.
As an aside, "lagniappe" is the Trinidadian patois expression for "a little extra thrown in." Talking of Trinidad, the land of calypso, the lyrical content of "Tu Te Lo Pee Pee" is very cheeky, akin to a smutty calypso. Sensing that part of the answer may lie in my question: What was the intention of including such a naughty and potentially controversial song?
Well, we like the idea of hit records over here at Libertad. (Laughter) We like them a whole lot. Rubén has had a pretty phenomenal run as a songwriter, think "El Cantante" by Héctor Lavoe or "Numero 6" by Bobby Rodríguez, and you get the idea of what a genius this guy is as a songwriter. He felt in his bones that with this recording we had a chance for a major league hit record on commercial radio both here and in Puerto Rico. At the end of the day though, the most important thing is this, it is a great song. Period. This is a NEW salsa composition by Rubén Blades. Hello?!? Frankly, it has become one of my personal favorites on the record.
Musically, "Tu Te Lo Pee Pee" has a different feel to the remainder of the album. I understand that its arranger, Angel Fernández, is chuffed that this is the first time Rubén has recorded a number arranged by a trumpeter since he went solo. I would be interested in Oscar's comments?
I gave Angel the guidelines for arranging this song to make it somewhat fit our concept. So, although a bit different, it works. If it translates into greater commerciality, that would be nice.
Let's turn to the two tunes performed by Marco Bermudez. First-up is "Tun Tun Suena El Tambo" composed by the young sonero Ray Viera and arranged by Angel Fernández. A highlight on "Tun Tun Suena El Tambo" is one of Jimmy's exhilarating trombón criollo moments. Aaron, what's the background on this cut?
This also was my choice. I asked Ray Viera to submit a couple of songs and I thought this would be a good choice for us.
I am a big fan of Ray Viera, the current cantante with maestro Johnny Pacheco along with his old pal Héctor Casanova. Ray is an amazing guy. He is a wicked singer, not a jazz influenced singer like Ray de la Paz, but a more "mountain" type of guy. As a sonero, as distinct from his vocal qualities, he is a master improviser. His flow of ideas, his timing, his phrasing, this guy has got it all. So, not only is he a great vocalist, he is also a very hip songwriter. The lyrics to the song show you that he has a vital imagination and an excellent grasp of language. So, anyway, we were casting about for songs and in the process we found this one from Ray Viera and it is a winner. By the way, it was Ray Viera who came up with the name Libertad for our label, and he was the one who suggested Marco as a possible candidate for inclusion on
Across 110th Street
Ray Viera made his solo debut with
Aqui Esta
'02 on AP Productions.)
Marco's next track is the Charlie Palmieri classic "La Hija De Lola" written by the former heartthrob Raúl Marrero, originally from Charlie's 1972 album
El Gigante Del Teclado
on Alegre. I remember Aaron telling me in September 2003 that he was insisting on the inclusion of this number. So what was your thinking behind this decision and the choice of Marty Sheller as the arranger?
This was Aaron's idea to do this song. I thought Marty Sheller would be the perfect arranger to make this totally different from the original (which I did not like), and he did not disappoint. A great job on Marty's part.
First of all, Marty Sheller is another American treasure. Few guys have his insight as an orchestrator. First, as a trumpet player himself, he understands the mechanics of the instrument. So, his brass writing comes from experience as an instrumentalist. When a guy who plays writes, he knows the "sweet spots." Consequently they often make the most musically satisfying charts. Inevitably, as he was the musical director for Mongo Santamaría for decades, Marty was exposed to the clave and was writing for a band led by a percussionist. Naturally, as everyone knows, whether it was "Watermelon Man" or "Sofrito", Mongo was very into funk, soul, and jazz as well as Latin music. So, naturally, Marty had to become proficient in integrating these other rhythmic and harmonic dialects into his lexicon as an arranger. Finally, Marty adores jazz. I know this for a fact 'cause I had a picnic in his backyard and we had an extensive chat about this very issue a number of years ago.
Moving next to the two selections sung by the youngest guy in the band, Willie Torres. What's the background to "Dime Si Llegue a Tiempo," arranged by Sonny Bravo, which I note was a track on Celia Cruz and Johnny Pacheco's second collaboration
Tremendo Caché
(1975 on Vaya)?
Bobby Allende recommended this song to me, and as soon as I heard it, I knew it would be a good song for us to do. Willie did an excellent job.
Being recruited to the Spanish Harlem Orchestra is a tremendous break for Willie. His second number is "Maestro De Rumberos," which the band was already performing when they made their UK debut in April 2003. I remember Ray de la Paz telling me that Frankie Vázquez introduced the song to the band's repertoire from Ismael Quintana's 1976 album
Lo Que Estoy Viviendo
'76 on Vaya, where Papo Lucca arranged it. Oscar, as the arranger of the track, I would be interested in your comments?
Frankie and I both came up with this song and, again, a prerequisite for me is that it has to have been a swinging track for me to even consider it, and, again, that was the case. Willie does a good job here. For someone so young, he understands the idiom and the singer's responsibility.
Returning to Ray de la Paz, he told me back in April 2003 that Chino Nuñez was arranging the old Impacto Crea tune "Te Cantare" (originally from
Impacto Crea
'78 on Vaya) for him, and there it is, the seventh track on
Across 110th Street
. Is there anything you would like to share about this track?
Ray de la Paz is not to be believed. His singing is effortless. Singing to Ray is like drinking a glass of water to us mere mortals. For a while after the sessions, I could not get the song out of my mind come hell or high water. I saw Ray with his band about seven or eight years ago in New York at the now defunct Les Poulets. He blew me away. I knew him from Barretto but at the time I was unaware of what he had done with Louie Ramírez. I am shamefully unaware of much that occurs in the present day or the recent past, as John Child can attest. My expertise, if one could call it that, lies in the dustier corners of music history apparently. Anyway, I think this song might be one of his serious high points as a singer. He said to me backstage a little while ago: "I think I can hold my own with anyone out there, at least I can give you a run for your money." That is the understatement of the year. If you're an ordinary salsa singer and you hear Ray de la Paz is singing first, I would strongly advise to you to consider hiding under the sink for the night and pray that no one finds you.
Two more tracks to talk about. In the tradition of the previous album
Un Gran Dia En El Barrio
, you have included a cha cha chá, "Escucha El Ritmo," and an instrumental "Perla Morena." Oscar, you wrote and arranged both, please tell me more?
I wanted to keep the thread of doing a cha cha on our follow-up CD. It is a rhythm that has gotten a bit lost within the salsa scene. Because the cha cha chá craze was an early crossover success in the history of Latin dance, it is important to highlight this important dance form and rhythm. "Perla Morena" is just an instrumental inspiration I had at home one afternoon, thinking about a way to feature some of the musicians in the band. It came out nice, I am very happy with it.
Do you have any ambitions to re-popularise the cha cha chá rhythm?
That would be a nice by-product, but that's not my motivation. I just love cha cha and so do many lovers and fans of the music.
Oscar Hernández also contributed "Cha Cha Pa' Gozar" to
Un Gran Dia
, so I think he is definitely trying to tell us something! I love a good cha cha as much as the next guy, but I consider myself more of a guarachero / mambonik when all is said and done. The cha cha sounds very hip in the hands of Oscar however.
"Escucha El Ritmo" provides a nice opportunity for some solos. Am I right in detecting a rare recorded solo by trombonist Dan Reagan in "Perla Morena"?
Yes, it features Dan Reagan, John Walsh, Pablo Nuñez, Bobby Allende and myself.
Aaron, consistent with your previously stated aesthetic preference, the band is recorded live as opposed to the prevailing technique of layer by layer. Is there anything you would like to add on this issue?
Only the superb job done by Dave Kowalski as our recording engineer at Bennett Studios. His experience as an engineering vet was invaluable. But to give you an idea of how unusual this way of working really has become, this was the first truly analogue recording session Dave had done in years! He had to re-learn some skills he has effectively retired in this digital age of ours. Also at the other end of the scale was the mixing done by Phil Nicolo over at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. He does such an exceptional job of keeping the analogue philosophy alive. In fact Phil and I remain strongly committed to the analogue domain for recording music. As good as digital sounds today, and it sounds damn good, it does not give the music a "hug and a kiss" like analogue does under stringent conditions. When people hear it against a Pro-Tools type session, they go "wow, what did you do?" It's called analogue tape, baby, and when it's used at its highest level, it is still the Bentley of sound.
So you guys now have a follow-up, pulsating with Grammy potential, in the bag. What's on the band's agenda for the next 12 months?
Just to keep working, traveling and playing music we absolutely love to play.
Working this record to its maximum potential around the world. From every angle, commercial to college, we intend to bring it to the greatest possible audience we can address. From salsa freaks to soccer moms, this album is fairly overflowing with hypnotically engaging music from start to finish. If the stars are with us, who knows what could happen? (Sigh)
The international success of the Spanish Harlem Orchestra has provided a vital and overdue opportunity for showcasing the very best of the New York Latin music tradition. How do you guys feel about shouldering this weighty responsibility?
No responsibility at all. It is a relief to be able to work and showcase such a band and such excellent musicians.
I do as the founder and co-producer feel compelled to have this music and these great artists be seen and treated with dignity. From a technological standpoint, I am quite willing to go "contra la corriente" as I've done for many years, to achieve that elusive magic that all great records aspire toward. Digital multi-track and Pro-Tools editing make it very easy to make the sub-mediocre acceptable, but only transcendent performances can elevate the good into the realm of the legendary. I try to offer a creative atmosphere to make that magic dust happen every time we roll tape. And we do roll tape. I think Oscar was unconvinced to some degree about the difference between analogue and digital. Why go to all the bother, basically? And that is a good question. But in the end he said to Phil Nicolo and me that he was truly converted when he heard the final result. I am proud of that. It's not that he didn't know, it was just that he was so used to working digitally that he had forgotten what analogue was really capable of capturing.
Is it too early to ask what the vision is for a third and subsequent albums?
Yes, too early let's all enjoy this one.
I'd love to do a concert DVD at some point, but that is different from the third album.
Across 110th Street
is now the third release from your Libertad Records stable. Previous releases were the Grammy nominated
Musica Universal
(2003) by Truco & Zaperoko and the essential rare grooves compilation
Lost Classics of Salsa Vol. 1
(2003). Are you able to share any news about future Libertad projects?
We have a superb album coming up in the fall from Zaperoko. It is called
Zaperoko 3
. It was recorded in 1989 just after the death of co-founder Frankie Rodríguez. It was released in that year in a quantity of about 500 pieces and was entitled
Tarde En La Noche
. The mix of the album was done under less than ideal circumstances and, consequently, it suffered as a result. When we got the album, I went in with my pal Phil Nicolo and we actually did some substantial renovations to the tracks that we got from Edwin Feliciano. Certain parts were mono and we made them stereo. We radically equalized some of the percussion parts to maximize their "thump" and filtered other things to improve clarity and intelligibility. We also got a song that was not on the original tiny pressing run of the album on vinyl. Anyway, I feel very strongly that Zaperoko and Batacumbele are among the finest and least recognised creative outfits in the history of Latin music. Libertad is committed to putting Zaperoko into their proper place in the canon. They are great people and great artists.
Oscar, knowing you've long been a man much in demand on the New York recording scene, do you have any extracurricular projects in the pipeline you can tell me about?
I am currently working on the music for a feature documentary film.
Before we wrap up, is there anything either of you would like to add?
I'd like to thank Bruce Polin and all the good people at Descarga.com who have once again graciously offered us a forum to share our story in this extensive and comprehensive fashion. We at Libertad salute you. I'd like to thank both Oscar and all the guys in the band for being such talented artists and genuine ambassadors to the world on behalf of this music.
I want to thank you and everyone who supports our music. It is through the support we receive that we are blessed to be able to do what we love to do!
Thanks very much for your time, gentlemen.
As always, John, the pleasure has been mine.
Likewise, I hope we can get to the UK again sometime in the near future.
Many thanks to Dorancé Lorza for contributing his observations.

The Regusci Winery
The term "Ghost Winery" was given to the few remaining early Napa Valley wineries that were in existence between 1860 and 1900. Very few of these Ghost Wineries remain as the vineyards of most Napa Valley wineries were decimated by the phylloxera infestation of the 1890's. The economic depression of that decade was the final blow for many others. Over the years many fell into disrepair and were dismantled or absorbed into newer, more modern facilities. One rare example of a perfectly preserved Ghost Winery is the T.L Grigsby-Occidental Winery located on the Regusci Ranch.
Built in 1878, the winery's handsome hand-cut stone facade, with its graceful arched windows, is crafted entirely from lava stone and has walls that are two feet thick.
In 1995, Angelo Regusci and his son Jim decided to reestablish the winery, and in 1996 Angelo, Jim and his wife Diana crushed their first vintage of Stags Leap District wines. This family-owned and operated winery opened it's doors in June of 1998 showcasing its estate wines.
