2 Monday, November ag, aoio | The Red * Black Trader Joe’s not hurting Earth Fare, Daily Co-op By PATRICK HOOPER The Red & Black Trader Joe’s is the new grocery store in town, but the shop is making fewer waves than one might expect from the California based chain. Walt Swanson, co-man ager of the Daily Groceries Co-op on Prince Avenue, said he’s seen it all before. “We didn’t think there was going to be a prob lem,” Swanson said. An 18-year-veteran of the Co-op and a manager for 10 years, Swanson has already seen the Co-op through the opening of Earth Pare at Five Points. “When Earth Fare came in, we took a hit for about a year and a half before our sales came back up to nor mal.” Opening its doors for the first time in Athens on Epps Bridge Parkway, Trader Joe's sets itself apart from the typical gro cery with a relative scarcity of brand-name products. The Athens location owes much of its existence to the efforts of University student Caitlin Sanders, whose grass-roots efforts, including a Facebook group, were key to making Trader Joe’s a local instal P’earls Beroßit Swwf* *vStb-an Pasra f rue chocs havc X Yl|j wweymHiFTHfy \awhon|:l ~ UAmemrm \ sop ) i can just fihd a may to] do thsy !

Though situated near a Wal-Mart, Athens' Trader Joe’s actually has more in common with smaller health food stores such as Earth Fare and the Co-op, which, by Swanson’s esti mation, affords Athens res idents the chance to buy from approximately 50 local farmers in a 20- to 25-mile radius of the city. Of course, it’s hard to tell there’s anew competi tor in town with how little it has affected either store. The Trader Joe’s open ing has amounted to little more than a slight decrease of sales, according to Swanson. He attributed the non-event, in part, to the flact that the two loca tions sit on different sides of town. Henry Kugler, store manager of Earth Fare, said there has been no change in the store’s busi ness. And Kugler said he wasn’t at all surprised. “We figured the novelty of it would affect us some in the first few weeks as people go to see what it’s all about,” he said. Of course, even if Trader Joe’s had started siphon ing customers, Kugler said he doesn't mind newcom ers in the market, as those The Daily Puzzle |HI 5 I Hi s " RK T o -17“ ~ HR fIH HHg Hr"' - ' 4 _ . ■ aav . - - - - |g|p __ —— j so 3? 13 IS I MBsT" """ bif~ rTT i *" ~ ? iiiii ■1 II 1 1-11 I I'l 1 ■ VMMf 64 Beasprtng 65 Loosen 66 of Capri 67 Jealousy 68 Outdoes 69 Property owner’s paper 70 Coloring agent DOWN 1 Fragrance 2 Detroit team 3 four small cake 4 Come ; find 5 Legal paper 6 Easy gait 7 Panorama 8 Carved gems 9 “You __ My Sunshine" 10 Suspension of active hostilities 11 _ Nicole Smith 12 Drying kiln 13 Hard hit 20 Summit 21 Morsel 25 Marsh plant FINA 4000 GENE 3000 GENE 3200 GEOG 1101 GEOG 1103 GEOG 1111 GEOG 1112 GEOG 1113 GEOG 1125 GEOL 1121 GEOL 1122 HACE 2000 HACE 2100 HACE 3150 HACE 3200 HACE 3300 HACE 4100 HACE 4200 HACE 4400 HACE 4900 HACE 5100 HACE 5150 HIST 2052 HIST 2111 HIST 2112 HIST 2302 HORT 2000 HORT 3440 HPBR 1710 INTL 1100 JOUR 3310 mKtpfmA ' ,¥> NV nr IHHb Jr W&d - iJt* •■. f ■ g 9B^gSWKi 4 yiTLi3 | A.-iy''':Slßt. 4* H|^HN|EEE9I!iS9HH v"- ' 4 B^'^HgipHi Mumg&mgx: "nfr in k> ' '%> ir DINA ZOLAN | Tn Rio a Buci ▲ A clerk at Trader Joe’s helps a customer check-out. Though other alternative grocery stores exist in Athens, those stores aren’t concerned about Trader Joe’s stealing their customers. newcomers might start stocking goods that Earth Fare doesn’t and vice versa, giving the customer the widest range of selections. “Competition is good,” he said. “We welcome com petition.

Tabor was arrested at about 1:30 a.m. after a resident in an apartment complex on the 900 block of East Broad Street reported a man had kicked down the door of a nearby apartment, according to the report. Officers found Francis lying down in the bed of one of the complex’s bed rooms, according to the report. Officers reported Francis seemed highly intoxicat ed, smelled strongly of alcohol and appeared to have vomit on his face.

But one particular eth nic group has no place on this list of student organi zations no student group exists at the University for Native American students. Jace Weaver, director of the Institute of Native American Studies, said low membership is the major reason behind the lack of official Native American representation in the Center for Student Organizations. “We have a small native student population,” Weaver said. “We’re trying to increase that, but there are very few Native American students at the University.” Ervan Garrison, a pro fessor of anthropology and member of the steering committee for the INAS, said the number of Native American students at the University is influenced by multiple factors.

Cranford was arrested at about 11:30 p.m. after officers saw two females cross ing Broad Street in front of traffic against the ‘Do Not Walk’ sign. Both admitted to having alcohol and consented to breath tests. Officers contacted the mother of the girl accompanying Cranford because of her minor status, according to the report. Cranford was arrested and taken to Clarke County Jail. Her companion was turned over to her mother, according to the report. Break-ins abound at student residences Athens-Clarke County Police received reports of break-ins at at least 16 student residences over the Thanksgiving holiday. Residences on College Avenue, West Hancock Street, Gaines School Road and Vine Street, among other locations, were targeted. Electronics, such as Playstations, Wiis and laptop computers were among the items reported stolen. A majority of the reports came later in the week, as students returned from the break and noticed items missing. —Compiled by Tiffany Stevens “It depends on a lot of things that UGA can’t real ly control," he said. Garrison said he has not been approached by a size able number of students to form such an organization. “I’ve talked about it with a couple off and on, but I guess they just can’t find a nucleus or enough people to make it worth their while,” he said. Garrison was at one time the faculty sponsor for a University chapter of a national Native American student organization, the American Indian Science Sc Engineering Society. The American Indian Science Sc Engineering Society Is a national orga nization dedicated to increasing Native American representation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The organization serves as an umbrella for Individual projects, helmed by profes sional members, retirees and University chapters. “I think for three or four years we had about a half dozen or more students who were pretty active," Garrison said. Despite the organiza tion’s reasonable success early oh, Garrison said that over time, membership dwindled to a pitiful num ber until the chapter could no longer (Unction and it disappeared. “Native Americans, or people who identify them selves as Native Americans, Just aren’t enrolled at UGA, so there weren't enough “Some things I’ll buy there,” she said of Trader Joe’s. “There are certain things we’ll buy there pre-packaged things like cheese and salad." For most everything else, she said, she typically goes to Earth Fare for what she feels are superior qual ity products.

Weaver said he has not talked with any students calling for an official orga nization for Native Americans. “I haven’t heard of that,” he said. “But I’d be willing.” Garrison said despite the failure of the American Indian Science Sc Engineering Society chap ter, he sees the need for such an organization grow ing as more Native American students enroll at the University. “There is a possibility that we will see more native students enrolling in UGA, not because we’re running out and recruiting them, but there is an interest on the part of some of the tribes in our area, like up in North Carolina and that, looking at UGA as an alter native school for their stu dents," he said. “And they’re really good stu dents, so if they want to come here, they can come here,”
