‘The Candyman’ David Klein

How did you get involved in the film, and what did you find rewarding?

I believe that the documentary was a chance for me to review my thirty five years in the candy business and to see what my business friends thought about me….Almost as if you are hearing your own eulogy at your funeral. It is also something that is for the ages and my grandchildren and their children will be able to view this long after I am gone.

Would you have any advice for those wishing to pursue the ‘American dream’?

As a matter of fact I do. First of all just about everyone thought Jelly Belly was a stupid idea. If you believe in your idea believe in it with all your heart. Do not listen to negative thoughts. Stay focused and do not let anything get in your way. I had $800.00 to my name when I started Jelly Belly. Money makes it much easier but there are ways to get things done if you are creative.

One of my mistakes was that I did not investigate other candy makers when I started…I went with the first company I talked to. They told me that they could handle any order I sent them. This later proved to be false. I did not realize how small of a company they were when I first talked to them….

Another piece of advice is to realize that there is nothing better than free publicity. People believe what they read. The press needs things to write about. So it is a two-sided relationship that benefits both parties. When I started Jelly Belly I was doing twenty to thirty dollars a day in business. If it had not been for the publicity the product would have died..

Another piece of advice is to file both a state and federal trademark for your product.. After following the advice of a trademark attorney we only filled for a federal trademark. One of my distributors found out that we had not filled for a state trademark and did so for himself…I received a call from him one day and he told me that he was my “new” partner. Thank you – David Klein.

I thought this was the best entry I saw at the festival. It is both amusing and sad to watch this manic sad sack try to strike gold again with his concoctions after his one and only success with jelly belly. It is also sobering to see how easily corporate sharks were able to steal his company from him. This hasn't changed.

Really enjoyed this film. I liked the weaving together of history of Klein's career and present-day interviews with him, family, friends and colleagues. The part at the end with his son holding his baby son was really touching. I hope David Klein will get the recognition he deserves by this film getting wide viewership.

Omaha Film Festival review

This film was very bittersweet for me. I have two people who are very close to me that are exactly like David Klein. It seems as if they have lived parallel lives. It also had the tone of a eulogy. I kept thinking that at the end of the film they were going to say that David had passed away. A very thoughtful film. I liked it.

Review of Candyman

Candyman: the David Klein Story "Costa, your documentary of David Klein was extremely moving. You're a brilliant interpreter. Your translation was full of human spirit, very touching. Thank you. It was especially emotional from my eyes, it tugged deep inside the heart. I understand the yearning & passion involved in creating and spreading joy. Like ...David, the journey is more for the joy of it, rather than fortune." Tami (Slamdance audience member)

Review of Candyman

Candyman: the David Klein Story "It was the finest documentary at that film festival this year... a film that is so full of heart and soul; a film that had audience members in tears with compassion for the lead character - and in riotous laughter in other parts. The audience was completely engaged and discussing it for days afterward. It deserves dis...tribution. It's a compelling, entertaining, and unforgettable documentary." -Xaque

Interview

Slamdance: The Candyman spills the beans
Documentary spotlights forgotten creator of the Jelly Belly.

By David Burger

The Salt Lake Tribune
Updated: 01/27/2010 04:09:54 PM MST

Dave "The Candyman" Klein tries out his latest candy creation on "Weird Al" Yankovic in the 2010 Slamdance documentary feature "Candyman:The David Klein Story."

Who invented the Jelly Belly?

If you go to the candy company's Web site, you will not find David Klein's name anywhere.

But a documentary screening at the Slamdance Film Festival makes a convincing case that Klein -- whose nickname is the Candyman -- was the creator of the famed jelly bean, and that his legacy has been erased from the candy company's published history.

New Zealand film-maker Costa Botes, who co-wrote and co-directed "Forgotten Silver" with Peter Jackson, presents a portrait of a witty, charming and larger-than-life-sized man who is considered by some to be a forgotten genius.

Klein, who will be handing out jelly beans at Thursday's screening, answered some questions about the film and his quest for recognition -- not to mention some royalties.

How did you and Botes meet?

My son Bert and his lovely bride, Jennifer, were in New Zealand doing work on "Lord of the Rings." That is where they met Costa. At about this time. I had started to blog about how to be a candy inventor. Bert told Costa about the blog and he started to read them. Costa wanted to do a documentary about my life, and Jennifer and Bert became the producers.

Is is true that Botes was forced out of the Jelly Belly headquarters?

He most certainly was escorted out after being in there less than an hour. It seems that Costa knew too much about me -- in relationship to the bean -- and the

owner of the company told him to stop filming.

Why do you believe you haven't been given credit by the company?

I have often thought about this. When I first approached them, the company was dependent on candy corn. They never had a break-away hit in their history. They had been in business for a century or so. Maybe they wanted all the glory for themselves.

Is the film fair to the company, and to you?

Costa bent over backwards to be fair to the Jelly Belly company. There were quite a few things I wanted to do in the film but Costa, to his credit, said, "Not in my film." I would say that the film is very, very fair to both the company and to me.

What do you hope this film accomplishes?

Since my invention of the bean in 1976, I have never received any award or recognition from the candy industry. My daughter Roxy invented Sandy Candy (edible straws) 14 years ago. When I do street fairs with this product, people ask me what have I done in life. When I tell them that I created the bean, their usual response is: If you did, you would not be doing what you are doing. I hope to set the record straight as to what my place in the candy industry is. I want my grandchildren and their children to know the role I played in one of the most famous candy products ever invented.

The Candyman's Saga to Hit the Big Screen

David Klein, the inventor of Jelly Belly jellybeans, talks about the new film Candyman, which documents his rise and fall.

Small Business Success

Inspiring company profiles and best practices for smart business owners

David Klein is a testament to the fact that every entrepreneur with a fresh idea should invest in a good lawyer. In 1976, Klein came up with a new kind of jellybean, which would come to be known as Jelly Belly. To bring the idea to market, he partnered with the Herman Goelitz Candy Company. Four years later, the company was cranking out one million pounds of jellybeans per year, but Klein's relationship with the company began to deteriorate. The whole saga is detailed in the documentary Candyman, which premieres at the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, on January 24. Klein recently spoke with Inc. reporter Josh Spiro.

What were jellybeans like before you came around, and how did you see a way to change them?
In 1976, I was a candy and nut distributor. My wife Rebecca and I had one child, Bert, and $800 to our names. I wanted to open up a store that just sold jellybeans, and I needed something different than what was on the market. At the time, all jellybeans sold for less than a dollar per pound, and they all tasted pretty much alike. My idea was to use natural flavoring whenver possible, and to flavor the inside of the bean as well as the shell. I also wanted to make jellybeans that were smaller—around 400 beans to the pound—and sold at a higher price. That was the concept behind Jelly Belly jellybeans.

Was it an instant success?
To be honest, I could not give them away for the first few months. They were selling for $2 per pound and people laughed at me. Even my regular candy and nut customers would not buy them. If I had not received publicity the product would have died.

What sort of publicity?
I called up the Associated Press and talked to the editor of the business department. I told him that I had the only jellybean store in the world. I also told him that we were doing tons of business. This was not true. When he paid a visit to us, I had friends come in to buy the product while he was there. After the article appeared nationwide, the product was on its way.

Where did the name come from?
I used to watch Sanford and Son. I heard a reference on one show to the blues musician known as Lead Belly. This inspired the name Jelly Belly. I did not know it at the time but Lead Belly had spent time in jail for attempted homicide.

In the trailer for the new documentary on your life, Candyman, you say that coming up with the idea for Jelly Belly ruined your life? Why?
I made a mistake and sold the trademark to the Herman Goelitz Candy Company. The idea to sell it did not originate with me. I never wanted to part with it, and I've always regretted it. People asked me how could I have been so stupid as to sell this trademark. The documentary goes into great depth to show just why I could not be called Mr. Jelly Belly anymore.

What was your initial arrangement with the manufacturer, and why did you part ways?
At the very start, all the product was sent to me. I paid the company 59 cents per pound until I called them up and told them to charge me 10 cents per pound higher. I know that this is seldom done in business but I was making plenty of money on the product and I wanted to make sure that they were also. After a while, the company also asked to be made a distributor of the product, and we said yes. Then, they wanted to take over the trademark, and we reluctantly accepted. When we parted ways, they paid us $20,000 per month for 20 years, a period that ended in 2000. I have received no money since then. By the time I split the money with my partner and paid taxes, there was never much left to start a new business.

Are there any other inventions you've come up with, candy-related or otherwise?
As a matter of fact, yes...I was the inventor of many sour products such as gumballs and licorice. I also came up with the idea for Snot, which was a plastic nose filled with liquid.

I understand your daughter caught the bug for creating new types of candy too. What has she invented?
Since she was 4 years old, Roxy was always trying to come up with a candy idea. I always encouraged her to use her mind. A great idea sometimes comes out of a bad one. So I always say that there is no such thing as a bad idea. When Roxy was in high school she had this sand art creation in her room. She kept on looking at it. One day she asked me if we could make a candy powder that looked like sand art but the kids could eat it too. Sandy Candy was created from this idea and I am proud to say that Roxy took this idea and made it into an international business.

What he fails to say that he didn't even know how to make a Jelly Bean and the true development was done by the good folks at Herman Goelitz at their expense, sweat and tears. They are the ones that developed, marketed and grew the brand. If it were up to David, they would still be selling in a small corner of Southern California. He has a warped view of history and got a percentage of sales for 20 years and blew it all.



Okay where do I start? Pam just what is your interest in this? I never claimed to know anything about making jelly beans. That is why I contacted a company that knew how to make a quality product....It is done all the time. By the way Pam this is called contract manufacturing.

Pam I sweated my own blood sweat and tears to get this product off the ground. Pam did you know that I could not give the product away until I created a market for it? Pam did you know that I traveled to Pa to do the Mike Douglas show? Pam did you know that after I was in People magazine, department stores from all over the country wanted to buy the product? Pam did you know that the folks at Herman Goelitz could not keep up with my orders? Pam did you know that I went to New York to promote the product? Pam did you know that I went to Kansas City to promote the product? Where did you get your information from? to be continued

Review of our SOUR SPANKS

Candygurus
We may be sour, but we know our sweets.

Sour Spanks: Not a Sex Game Gone Awry but a Nice Treat!
Posted by Matty On January - 15 - 2010

Who doesn’t love surprises? And it’s rare to be really surprised, no? Shh..don’t tell anyone but I feign being surprised all the time: “OOoooh my Gawd! You went to Santa Cruz too? That’s impawesome!” While inside I’m thinking, “I wonder when Netflix will start sending me season 4 of Dexter.”

I think we can all agree true surprises are good. When the lil’ genius who created Jelly Belly’s – by far the best tasting jelly bean ever created – contacted Candygurus and said, ‘we got candy – review it.’ THAT was a surprise – And here we are! If this isn’t a sign that the godforsaken Candygurus have made it then I don’t know what is. …Or should that read, “if this is a sign that the godforsaken Candygurus haven’t made it then I don’t know what it isn’t.”

Little background: Jelly Belly creator David Klein sold that business to the company that actually manufactured the little flavor pellets for him, and he started another venture with his daughter, Roxy. Sweet. They now sell all sorts of candies that you can check out and buy here. Candyaddict also has a good interview with David giving the Jelly Belly history, if you want more deets.

When David sent us a note, I wasn’t necessarily sure what we would get to review. Their Web site has loads of stuff like candy java, fish taco, fried rice and sweet sushi. Trippy. What we got was Sour Spanks.

Sour Spanks Baby!

Spanks-bigYou can see that I ate a bunch already. Sorry. Next time I’ll take pics Before I eat.

See that sugar dusting on the outside? That’s hecka sour powder. If you simply suck these things, your mouth will do the way-too-sour dance. So you need to chew. Leading to Surprise #2: they’re chewy. This I like. Before I ate them, I assumed they were a hard candy. When I bit into them I was surprised to get a good chew. I like a slightly heartier chew but I’ll take it. These things last too, not quickly melting away. So you get to enjoy the uber sour, then the sweet-mixed-in chew until they finally fade out. Not a fast eat, per se. Also, I gave my 4 year old pup a few and the look on her face as she was trying to get the thing down was priceless. She loved it. And perhaps a better parent wouldn’t be letting their 4 year old eat these…hmmm…I’ll get back to you on that.
Spanks-med
Surprise #3: Sour Spanks flaves are kinda pedestrian. I expected the guy who created the oh-so-genuinely-flavorful jelly beans to take that same expertise, his calling card if you will, and instill an entirely new bevy of sweets with it. But these are the basics – a red that’s probably cherry, an orange orange, a yellow lemon etc. Eh. ok. Not great.

Spanks-med2Still, I find myself eating these at will, and I’ll finish them. And trust me, there are tons of candy that if I don’t like, I would simply throw out. So these get a 5 simply for that. But I bump them up to a 7 because the sour is truly sour and these are fun to eat. They almost knock on the door of absurdly sour but since you can bite in and they’re chewy, they don’t come off as kiddy novelty candy. And that’s good. My fave is green (apple I assume) and orange. Give em a try. If sour is your thing – then you’ll be pleasantly surprised too.


Candy Gurus Rating: 7/10. Really Good. A Go-To Candy.

1. Scotty Said,

Matty. I actually loved these. Agree on the flavors – kind of non-descript but suck off some of that powder and they become a bit more distinct. The chew is great. Anyway, my 2 year old really wanted to know what papa was eating – wouldn’t easily take no for an answer so I let her try it. Wish I had that on video. I would buy these in a sec.

2. Jonny Said,

There better be some left over for this guy. I can only imagine what they’d be like if they used the real flavorings that made Jelly Bellies (huge bag on my desk in front of me, mix of sours, licorice, pear, margarita, green apple, and blueberry) so impawesome.

3. david klein Said,

Hey guys….if you thought those were sour we just made some twice as sour as the ones you received. Will be leaving in a few days for the trip of my life. A documentary was made on my life as the inventor of Jelly Belly jelly beans. Slamdance looked at 5000 films and picked 18. We were one of the 18. The film will have its world premiere in Park City Utah on January 24th. We will be handing out free Jelly Bellies to everyone in the audience. It is called Candyman –it is time to spill the beans. A trailer can be viewed if you go to http://www.slamdance.com and click on film festival and then click on films….look for Sunday at 3:30 and a trailer will come up. All the Best to you. Love your reviews…

Where is my HAT?

Many many many years ago I loaned my hat to the owner of a Colorado candy company. He wanted to "borrow it" When I asked for it back his assistant said it had been sent back to me but could not provide a tracking number....I would love to wear this one of a kind hat to the world premiere of a documentary made on my life. I need the hat by January 24th which is the day of the Park City premiere. Please call me if you know where my hat is?

true story

THE CANDYMAN KNOWS

HELLO. Let me set the stage. Somewhere in the 1980's.. Location 4281 Bandini Blvd in the city of Vernon. By the way I always liked that name--Bandini. We are in the wholesale candy and nut business. Time of day--before noon. I am in the front parking lot. One of our customers drives up. Very nice lady. She always buys nuts and dried fruit for her co-op. We say hello to each other and the usual how you doing... I do not know exactly what came over me but I blurt out a statement to her--YOU ARE PREGNANT. It was a statement and not a question. I have never before or never since tried this statement out on anyone else. I still remember the look on her face. How did you know? I just found out. My husband does not even know. How did I know?

Industry Insiders: Dylan Lauren, Candy Princess
By Fernando Cwilich GilOctober 22, 2008 Dylan Lauren, owner of Dylan’s Candy Bar, on recession-proof sweets, her love of Willy Wonka, turning candy into art, and how her new joint serves both candy and booze.

Favorite Hangs: J.G. Melon on 74th and Third Avenue. It's nostalgic to me. I grew up going there with my family. I like the cozy décor and tavern feel, the old-school waiters, the food and the outdoor seating. I also like Cafe Bacio On 71st and First Avenue. The two owners are nice guys and entrepreneurs as well. They make a delicious nonfat vanilla chai tea latte which I have to get my day started.
How did you get your start in the candy business? I am a candy connoisseur and started by attending the candy trade shows and meeting the owners and CEOs of major American candy brands
What were you doing before? I ran my own event planning company called Dylan Creative Events.
Industry Icons: In the candy industry I admire Roald Dahl, who created Willy Wonka and made candy inventors seem so creative. I also admire the CEOs of candy brands who are very creative, think out of the box, and take brands that have been around for over 75 years and constantly re-invent them, such as Herm Rowland who owns Jelly Belly; Sal Ferrara, owner of Ferrara Pan; and Richard Ross, who owns Galerie Au Chocolate.
Is chocolate recession-proof? Yes! At Dylan’s Candy Bar, we have seen an increase in sales of chocolate and candy during hard times like 9/11, war, and the falling stock market.
What was your favorite candy as a kid? Cherry lollipops and Bazooka.
And now? Bazooka, marshmallows, and red licorice laces.
Who are your partners? I seek advice from my father [fashion designer Ralph Lauren].
Side Hustle: I create art out of candy as a hobby, like mosaics out of gumballs and furniture with candy wrappers. One day I may host a show in my store.
Projections: I am working on a Dylan’s Candy Bar book to show how to celebrate holidays and special occasions using candy to decorate. We are looking to open in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. In our NYC flagship we are opening a candy cocktail bar and lounge with real drinks.
What are you doing tonight? Going to dinner and a film.

Posted by Thomas Wigington on Wed Oct 22, 2008 at 11.05 pm#1 Ralph Lauren is my favorite designer. I appreciate the way he worked his way up from the bottom, beginning with his tie designs. I’m not surprised to see that his daughter, Dylan, is creative. Considering her father’s small beginning, I can’t imagine how far she can take this project. She certainly has studied her industry to learn who the leaders are and she probably understands how they succeed. Another advantage for her.
Posted by zamara colon on Thu Oct 23, 2008 at 10.06 am#2 love it girl always showing u love, keep up the good work..
Posted by just me on Wed Nov 26, 2008 at 04.17 pm#3 Oh please....try doing it without daddy’s name or money....pfffff...what a crock...although she is kind’a hot...
Posted by candy bar wrappers on Sun Dec 21, 2008 at 03.42 am#4 I would love to have the same business as you have.. I love eating candies, but.. be careful of your beautiful teeth guys.. candies are really that tempting.
Posted by candyman klein on Mon Mar 16, 2009 at 02.30 am#5 In 1976 I created the Jelly Belly jelly beans...I had 800.00 to my name at the time...In this great country it can still be done without lots of money. A documentary will be out within the next few months about my life.......david

Candy man with a big imagination
By Ryan Carter, Staff Writer
Posted: 11/28/2008 09:46:43 PM PST


COVINA - David Klein has had a pretty sweet life.
So sweet, in fact, that his business is sweets - candy, lots of it, in all kinds of colors, shapes and flavors, depending on your taste for novelty.

He and his family run Can You Imagine That, a Covina- based candy factory where his products are as wild and sour as his and his families' imaginations.

There's Foam Attack, which foams and fizzes when it's on your tongue. There's Sandy Candy, the flavor invented by Klein's daughter, Roxanne, when she was a senior at Glendora High School. Patterned after sand art products she saw at county fairs and specialty shops, it looks like sand and is packaged in bottles, straws and tubes.

Those are just a couple of the many kinds of confections that Klein markets to online vendors, higher-end buyers and others, such as as schools and cities, which sell them at special events and fundraisers.

His other concoctions include candy that looks like sushi, tacos, spaghetti, rats, rice, goo, pebbles and beads.

Among his latest products is a little something he's thinking about marketing to the urology crowd: Formula Pee, a sour, yellow liquid candy that comes in a vial. You get the idea.

"I try to look at things a little differently than most people," said Klein, 62, of Glendora. "We're not afraid to try anything. We have no shame."

It was that daring spirit that got Klein into the market in the first place, in the mid-1970s.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When he learned that the wholesale nut business could rake in up to $20,000 a month, his ears opened up, he said.

He dove in.

And then came Jelly Bellys.

While he was selling nuts, Klein had the idea for flavored jelly beans - a smaller bean that would come in a variety of flavors, like watermelon and cotton candy. Up to that point, jelly bean flavors were limited.

Looking for someone to manufacture the beans, he contacted Herman Goelitz Candy Co., a candy maker in Fairfield that agreed to make the beans in five flavors, Klein said.

He got the beans manufactured, but "I could not give the product away," he said, adding that by then he was renting a corner space out of Fosselman's Ice Cream Parlor in Alhambra in order to sell his Jelly Belly brand.

With sales sagging, Klein called a reporter at The Associated Press and the news service ran an article on his business.

And sales took off.

"I was getting calls within two weeks from Bloomingdales and ... all the big guys," he said.

Ultimately, Klein said the manufacturer bought him out.

Ronald Reagan was elected president - and in a bid to stop smoking, he took up Jelly Bellys, which turned into a jelly bean habit. With Jelly Bellys being passed out in the Oval Office, they became a sensation.

Herman Goelitz Candy Co. became Jelly Belly, and Klein moved on with his buyout money.

"It was frustrating, yes," Klein said. "But things in business happen like that. You can't let that ruin your life."

It didn't stop Klein, who said he had a sense from a young age that he would go into the candy business.

In fact, in junior high, when the teacher left the classroom, his classmates would name a candy and have Klein outline who owned it, along with the story of that candy.

"I was known as the `candy guy,' " he said.

After Jelly Belly, Klein continued in the wholesale candy business, helping others get their foot in the door while forging ahead with a zany imagination.

He helped his brother-in-law develop a novelty candy called Snot, a plastic nose that oozed liquid candy in four colors.

His obsession with confections led to his Covina factory, where his wife, daughter and 10 employees churn out ideas and candy every day.

"All we do is talk about candy," said Roxanne, Klein's daughter, who heads up sales and marketing at the company.

Roxanne Klein started coming up with candy ideas when she was 3 and never gave up offering them to her father. It is an approach she offers to anyone with big - maybe even off-the- wall - surges of imagination.

It is about "encouraging people to not let anybody knock them down," Roxanne Klein said. "If you have an idea ... go out and pursue it."

But in the process, be honest, her father said.

"You'd be surprised how far honesty goes in this world," he said.

JELLY BELLY

“They must create different products such as the traditional green tea flavor to attract customers and compete with international rivals.”

Major potential

It’s the same situation for sweet makers. One of those companies trying to encourage China to find its sweet tooth is America’s Jelly Belly Candy Co.

The company’s international business Vice President Sharon Duncan said Jelly Belly plans to use its new Thailand operation to supply the Asian market.

The factory, set to have beans rolling off its production line before the end of the year, is expected to produce 2.27 million kilos of beans a year, with China targeted as a major source of potential growth.

Duncan said the company has focused on grassroots distribution, holding a number of tastings for distributors and members of the public and have positioned the product in high visibility retail in premium retailers.

They distribute to 600 different locations, mainly in and around the cities of Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou.

The tastings have proven a vital source of information, according to Duncan.

Jelly Belly is developing new flavors for the Chinese market with a green tea and red bean flavored jelly bean testing well.

“In the United States each American eats 37 of our beans a person each year, in China this is less than one but it is early days and we aim to change that,” he said.

NEW FLAVOR ACAI BERRY

200,000 Ideas Poured In FAIRFIELD, Calif., Sept. 12

FAIRFIELD, Calif., Sept. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The tallies are done and Jelly
Belly Candy Company announced that fans voted acai berry (ah-sigh-ee), an
exotic Amazon rainforest fruit, as the best idea for a new flavor. Almost
200,000 suggestions for new jelly bean flavors were submitted to the contest,
and the public voted for the best original flavor concept at
http://www.DreamBeanContest.com.

Joel Tokarczyk of Matteson, Ill., a 19-year-old art student, was named a
finalist in August and crowned the winner of the $10,000 grand prize for his
submission. Tokarczyk came up with the idea of acai berry after learning it
was the new "super food."

"I really got into it, and started doing some research. I've had acai
berry juice, and I thought that might be a good idea for a Jelly Belly,"
Tokarczyk said. He also submitted at least 30 other ideas for new flavors.

He will use his winnings to pay for tuition at Columbia College Chicago
where he recently started classes with plans to study animation.

"We received thousands of submissions for acai berry flavor -- it's
clearly on many people's radar. The voting for the finalist flavors was
overwhelming in favor of acai. Honey came in a strong second place," said Rob
Swaigen, director of marketing for Jelly Belly Candy Company.

Acai berries are a hot topic on national talk shows and are showing up in
everything from fountain-of-youth supplements to celebrity beauty products,
juices and energy bars.

Five finalists were chosen and their dreamy flavor ideas were posted on
the contest site where fans voted for the best one. The finalist ideas were
Honey, Sublime Chili Lime, Thai Ice Tea, Mojito and Acai Berry. The trend in
flavor ideas ran from desserts to exotics, with fusion flavors and ethnic food
concepts being very popular.

THE BIRTH OF A NEW FLAVOR

HELLO. Let me set the stage. The year is 1976. I am working at our Jelly Belly store in Alhambra. It is a Saturday afternoon around one o'clock. A young man comes into the store. Could not have been over eleven years old. Comes up to the counter and I ask him if he wants to taste a jelly bean. I would like to taste the strawberry please he says. Well, do you like it? It does not taste like strawberry. What does it taste like? It tastes like cotton candy. After he leaves the store I see to it that the flavor is now called cotton candy on our sign. It has been cotton candy ever since. That nice young man is now over forty years old.

AUGUST 1976 THE FIRST JELLY BELLY SALE

HELLO. Let me set the stage. Location Fosselmans in Alhambra California. Great ginger ice cream by the way. Thirty two years ago. My wife, Rebecca, loves ceramics and she told her ceramics instructor about the product. So who should show up as the first customer?

One of the nicest ladies you would ever want to meet. I wish I knew her name. I did not save her money as a good luck charm because we needed every dollar back then to survive. She said that she wanted 2.00 worth. That was one lb of beans in those days.

Wow our first sale. I fill up a bag with the beans and I go to put it on the two piece scale that was there. The scale belonged to Fosselmans. As luck would have it every bean fell to the floor. to be continued

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

Always loved that song....I am back.....just had both eyes done--cataract removal...can see like a 18 year old.....Thank you for your continued support. Should have had them removed 2 years ago.....

FIRST CLASS VS COACH

The only time in my life that I had a first class ticket was when I was flying to do the Mike Douglas show-----they paid for it....A nice feeling but not worth the price.....Every time I took a plane trip I could not help but wonder about those people behind the curtain in the first class area. Who were they? What did they do for a living? So you have first class and coach.

Let us say that you have a factory where you give tours to the public.. Great tours I might add...And free I might also add. Thousands and thousands of people go on your tour every year. Great idea great good will. Now you decide to create a first class tour where the guests pay for the experience and can enter your factory at the ground level...... . Daddy Daddy how come those people down there have a better view than I do from up here? to be continued

Sunday, July 27, 2008

By HEIDI PRESCOTT
Tribune columnist

Describing Susan Petsche as "sweet" is too much of a cliché, considering she owns an old-fashioned candy shop. But she is sincere, modest, and apologetic.

The 73-year-old laments having to close the downtown Sugar & Spice store on Friday in South Bend, but retaining her airport location, special orders and corporate accounts makes the decision easier to bear.

You see, when you invest so much time and energy into a business like Petsche has, it's hard to let even a small piece of it go. She takes comfort in the fact that some customers will still call her for baby shower and wedding orders. "Hopefully we can keep a little bit of that business.



"I'm just trying to think like a consumer. Why should people spend $4 in gas money to come downtown unless it's something very special?" she asks herself.

Candy production will continue inside the pink building at 307 N. Hill St., where customers smell chocolate as soon as they open the door. "Oh, this is nothing. You should smell the place when we're making our mint meltaways," says Petsche, as she stands behind the glass candy counter.

The meltaways have remained one of her best sellers throughout the shop's 30 years, from the time Sugar & Spice opened at the former Pierre Moran Mall in Elkhart to her move to downtown South Bend in the 1990s.

Her turtles, double-dipped peanuts and yogurt pretzels also strike a chord with many a sweet-tooth who visit her small store. Its back wall is lined with boxes of just about any shape of candy mold you can imagine — cartoon characters, cars, trucks, baseball, tennis, musical instruments.

But the shelves behind the counter once lined with candies now contain some decorative items. Stuffed bears cover shelves near the door, but no one lines up for Beanie Babies these days.

For the past several months she has started scaling back on her inventory. Of course the economy has affected business, she says. The economy and competition have affected how and where people shop.

She used to be known for carrying Jelly Belly candies, for example. And old-fashioned treats like Boston baked beans and gumdrops. But the mass merchants line their walls with Jelly Belly dispensers. Any more, Christmas and Easter are her busiest times of year. Slower times of the year, she may get a dozen people in the store in a week.

And she needs to have money for retirement. While she doesn't talk

about it much with anyone, especially her children, Petsche admits some money earmarked for retirement has gone into the business she loves.

Still, retaining the location at the South Bend Regional Airport, with its built-in customer base, is important to her. And Petsche plans to send notices to corporate and other customers about the continuation of special orders.

Anyone will still be able to place a special order after the downtown storefront closes. She only asks for the order to be placed about a week before the preferred pick-up date downtown.

Petsche is considering a temporary reopening during the holiday season and again at Easter. She sells 1,000-plus eggs with such fillings as peanut butter and maple nut each year, and would like to continue the tradition for longtime customers.

The store will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The remaining candies will then be transferred to the airport store.

"My children have wanted me to do this for a couple of years," she says. "It's a lot of work. The paperwork today is absolutely overwhelming. I'm tired. But I have customers that have been so loyal it breaks my heart."
Costa Botes is a writer, director, and cinematographer. He is notable in New Zealand where Forgotten Silver, a documentary he co-wrote and co-directed with Peter Jackson about a fictional pioneer of the film industry, promoted considerable discussion and was proclaimed by Guinness World Records as the greatest film hoax in history.

In 1988 his short film, Stalin's Sickle, won the Grand Jury Prize at the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival, in France.

His feature film, "Saving Grace" (1998), based on the play by Duncan Sarkies, was selected for competition at the Valladolid and Asia Pacific film festivals.

Botes has worked as a director for hire on various TV shows, including episodes of "Ray Bradbury Theatre", and The Tribe.

Botes was also involved with the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, first writing a detailed précis of the Lord of the Rings books to help his friend Jackson (whom he met in 1986) pitch the idea of movies to a film studio, then filming three behind the scenes documentaries about the making of the films. These documentaries were held over for a time, but eventually released with the films August 29, 2006 in what New Line Cinema called "Limited Editions". Contractual arrangements with the LOTR actors meant the documentaries could not be released independently of the LOTR films.

Botes continues to make short films and documentaries, and is developing another feature film project.

One of the films Costa is working on (May 2008) is a documentary about the life of David Klein. David is the man who invented the Jelly Belly jelly beans.

Corporate Governance

One key to strong performance at Indymac is our maintenance of solid enterprise risk management. This includes ensuring that solid internal controls are in place, employees adhere to the highest level of integrity and Indymac has a "best practices" corporate governance program in place. Our risk management system, including corporate governance, has been established so that the financial community can have a high level of confidence in Indymac's reported results. Corporate governance has been a key focus of the Company over the past several years as we have made our transition to a holding company of a federally regulated depository institution. Institutional Shareholder Services currently ranks Indymac near the top of the S&P 400 "Mid-Cap Index" for corporate governance. We have implemented a number of governance changes to reinforce our commitment to our shareholders, the public markets, our regulators and our employees.

The steps we have taken to fulfill this commitment include:

90% of our holding company’s Board members are independent (9 out of 10) and 85% of our bank’s Board members are independent (11 out of 13).
All members of our Board committees, including the Audit, Management Development and Compensation, and Corporate Governance Committees, are independent.
All three members of our Audit Committee are "audit committee financial experts."
The independent members of the Board meet regularly without the presence of management.
An independent director serves as Presiding director of the board.
We have stock ownership requirements for our Board members and executive officers.
Indymac has a clear code of business conduct and ethics policy to ensure that Company matters are handled ethically and with integrity.
We have a hot line available to all employees to facilitate anonymous reporting of any questionable activities.
We will continue to evaluate best practices in corporate governance and incorporate those that are in the best interests of our shareholders.
