On Thursday, Sept. 5, the Winters Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees gave direction on which option they’d like to pursue for a future multi-purpose room at Waggoner Elementary School.

Program Manager Jennifer Gibb, of Van Pelt Construction Services and Brie Gargano from Studio W Architects presented three multi-purpose room design options for the Waggoner site. After reviewing the design options, the board selected Option B, which includes a combined new multipurpose room and kitchen facility.

Gibb emphasized the importance of selecting a design now to streamline the permitting process and secure potential state funding.

“The intent of moving forward now with this design, as requested by the board, is that we will be shovel-ready for whichever option you choose,” said

Gibb. “That way, if we are successful in getting some state funding — because Proposition 2 is successful — or other sources of funding, we’re able to save on the escalation of starting it when we have the money for full construction.

We’ll be ready to build within a year or a year and a half, instead of adding 18 to 24 months in design and permitting after we have the funds.”

The new design, Option C, was created after the board asked to see what a multipurpose room that accommodated enough space for physical activities would look like.

This third design expanded a higher ceiling height and extra square footage in the multipurpose building to support athletic activities but was otherwise the same size as Option B. While providing students with an indoor area that could be used for physical activities (including regulation basketball court dimensions) during hot summer

Winters rainfall season began 7/1/24.

The new vehicle will replace the 2008 utility vehicle that needs to be replaced. According to the staff report, the vehicle has been repaired multiple times over the past few years for various minor and significant issues.

The 14-year-old truck is considered unreliable and is not to travel past city limits.

City staff received five competitive quotes. After review and consideration, city staff chose to pursue the Chevy truck from Hanlees Davis Chevy dealership. The quote was $58,185.00, including upgrades to the service body and lumber rack, before any taxes or fees are added. The Fiscal Year 2024–25 budget allocated for the water division’s vehicle replacement account

Kate Laddish accepted a proclomation recognizing Sept.

9 to 13, as Disability Voting Rights Week from Mayor Bill Biasi at the Winters City Council meeting on Sept. 3, for the purchase, and any remaining amounts will be used by staff to add the city logo and to add modifications to the utility truck.

Disability Voting Rights Week After approval of the consent calendar, Mayor Bill Biasi read a resolution proclaim-

ing Sept. 9 to 13, as Disability Voting Rights Week. Biasi presented the proclamation to Kate Laddish, a Yolo County Voting Accessibility Advisory Committee member.

Express staff The annual Downtown Winters Harvest Fest is a three-day event showcasing multiple vendors, food trucks, family-friendly activities, as well as the downtown business community.

The Winters Downtown Business Association is hosting multiple community events, while the 5th Annual Winters Spooktacular Fun Run is sponsored and organized by the Winters Runners and Walkers Club.

The Winters City Council recently approved related road closures at the Sept. 3 meeting.

This year’s Harvest Fest is hosted from Oct. 25 to 27. This year’s schedule includes the following events:

Friday, Oct. 25 From 5 to 10 p.m., Friday’s event features live music and children’s activities and encourages outdoor dining along downtown Main Street and at Rotary Park. Road closures include from the Railroad Avenue/Main Street intersection to the First Street/Main Street intersection.

Saturday, Oct. 26 From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., visitors can shop with over 100 local merchants on down-

MPR Continued from Page 1 days, the added cost made the board hesitant to choose the third design option.

Options A and B remain the same as when they were presented to the board in August. Option A, would upgrade the existing kitchen at the Waggoner kitchen facility, rather than adding in a new kitchen as part of the multipurpose building.

This would require kitchen staff to find an alternative location to prepare food for students while the upgrades are done.

Option B instead integrates a new kitchen into the proposed multipurpose building design. This design upgrades the current kitchen at Waggoner and keeps nutritional staff onsite to prepare food while construction is happening, instead of having to find an alternative means for preparing food as Option A would require.

Both options feature a stage in the multipur-

Main Street to the Second Street and Main Street intersection Additionally, from 6 to 9 p.m., attendees can peruse a mini car show, listen to live country music and take line dancing lessons while children can gather treats along the Trick or Treat Trail. Road closures are from the Railroad Avenue/ Main Street intersection to the First Street/Main Street intersection.

Sunday, Oct. 27 The annual Winters Spooktacular Fun Run and Costume Contest returns. Plus, enjoy live music at the Winters Sunday Farmers Market from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. pose building.

Ultimately, the board unanimously approved the selection of Option B, which combines a multipurpose room with a new kitchen and allowed for uninterrupted food services during construction.

The total cost for Option B is $11,015,920, just slightly less than the $11,048,120 for Option A, and significantly lower than the $12,977,000 for Option C. Board President Joedy Michael expressed strong support for Option B, citing both operational efficiency and community feedback. “(Option B) stands out because it’s the way staff is leaning from an operation standpoint. It would be a nightmare to have to do Option A,” Michael said. “If we were focusing on what the community and staff wanted, I think B is the way to go.”

While Option C offered additional space for physical activities, the nearly $2 million in added costs made the board

hesitant. Trustee Kristin Trott voiced her agreement, saying, “I really want Waggoner to have an MPR and a new kitchen, and getting $2 million more is going to stand in the way. I agree, Option B is the way to go.”

Trustee Sterling Davis echoed these concerns, emphasizing the need for a functional facility over a more ambitious design.

“Waggoner needs a multipurpose room with an attached kitchen. That’s our priority — ensuring the facility functions for our school, staff, and students,” Davis said. “Option C would be awesome, especially with our growing community, but I want to be realistic. Option B gives us space for our students, even if it’s not perfect.”

The multipurpose room will provide indoor space for students to use during extreme weather conditions, such as heat or smoke, which has become a pressing concern in recent years.

“I’d rather have something than nothing,” Davis added.

“We don’t want to shoot too big and end up with nothing.”

Gibb said the design team will incorporate opportunities from city staff suggestions and share the chosen facility design option with the community in October to get more feedback.

COUNCIL Continued from Page 1 Voting Rights Week for sharing awareness about a range of informational programs to inform people of all abilities on how to seek accommodations and improve voter participation.

The county has “20,000 voting-age residents with some type of disability” according to the 2021 American Community Survey, which Laddish said is a “significant undercount.”

“We have to take into consideration accommodations for a range of disabilities that are both readily apparent and not apparent to others,” she said.

The national disability rights community organized the seventh annual Disability Voting Rights Week to protect the rights of people with disabilities to participate fully in our democracy and to highlight the ongoing work to support voters with disabilities throughout the voting process.

On Tuesday, Sept. 10, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors was also set to proclaim Sept. 9 to 13, as Disability Voting Rights Week.

Approved street closures Councilmembers also approved street closures for the Sept.

20 Winters High School homecoming rally, the Sept. 28 Festivál de la Comunidád (Carnitas Festival) and the Harvest Festival on Oct. 25 and 26.

Railroad Avenue will remain open. Both of the driveway entrances will remain open so traffic can circulate in and out of the parking lots. The closure begins at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28, and will be lifted around 11 p.m. after the event.

• Harvest Festival on Oct. 25 and 26: The closures will begin at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 25, when the Main Street/First Street to Main Street/Railroad Avenue close.

The Winters Management (Department Head) Employees, Winters Manager’s Series Employees, Winters Police Officers Association, and Winters Professional Firefighters Association and City Management sent letters to the council requesting a 3 percent salary increase and consideration for other concerns outlined in the letters such as a bonus for Spanish-speaking employees.

Kate Laddish, committee member Amendment right against “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Now, the newly passed law reflects the Supreme Court decision.

A February city council meeting heard comments from the public that they were unsatisfied with the people camping on public and private property.

“During the meeting, members of the community addressed the Council with their concerns regarding the impacts of encampments on Putah Creek, Downtown businesses, and the health, safety and welfare of residents,” the staff report stated.

hicle on the way to or from school,” Smith wrote.

Last month, Yolo County hosted a free crossing guard training course on Aug. 29 at the Winters Community Library as well as two held virtually in the past month.

The Winters Express received no response from the county on the number of participants certified.

Biasi suggested reviewing the traffic study conducted by Winters Police Department with the Winters Joint Unified School District at an upcoming 2x2 meeting.

“We are going to look into seeing what we can do to put some type of signal or something at the point — it won’t be an actual signal but we are going to look into what the options are — to make that a safer crossing,” Biasi said.

After, resident Carla Wroten, who said she knows Smith, spoke at the podium attesting to the seriousness of the issue.

“Nobody stops,” Wroten said. “They’re looking to the left, but not to the right towards (Shirley Rominger Intermediate School).”

Council member Richard Casavecchia mentioned that a few of the council members spoke about increasing street safety, specifically on Niemann Street. He said it would be “good to bring that back” for a discussion.

Other business

Resolution 2024-61 to approve cell tower lease amendments was removed from the consent calendar so Mayor Pro Tem Albert Vallecillo could recuse himself from the vote. Vallecillo left the room during the discussion on the cell tower located near the old water facility because he owns stock for Verizon causing a conflict of interest.

The resolution passed and will, in turn, generate revenue for the city by leasing it to the telecommunications company.

Traffic safety Local resident and parent, Daniel Smith, submitted an emailed letter to City Councilmembers addressing concerns about the traffic on W. Main Street toward Anderson Avenue. Smith said he has witnessed “near-miss accidents involving children that are walking and riding bicycles to school” during the busy drop-off period.

He suggested a crossing guard, a crosswalk with a blinking light or a three-way stop sign.

Comisión de Planificación comienza a elaborar planes para regular la venta de cannabis y busca aportes públicos Por Adilia Watson Traducido por Carol Alfonso Los planes para el futuro de la venta minorista de cannabis en Winters comenzaron con la reunión de la Comisión de Planificación (Winters Planning Commission) la semana pasada, pero el personal de la ciudad se quedó con pocos aportes del público sobre la venta local de la sustancia legalizada. Con la presencia del personal de la ciudad, un par de residentes y el jefe del Departamento de Policía (Winters Police Department), John P. Miller, los comisionados comenzaron a trabajar en una ordenanza propuesta para los minoristas locales de cannabis el pasado 27 de Agosto. Después de una presentación del consultor de políticas Mark Lovelace de HdL Companies y el planificador urbano contratado David Storer, los comisionados reflexionaron sobre las regulaciones de la ciudad para estos minoristas, como qué tan grande debe ser la “zona de amortiguación” entre las tiendas y las escuelas, las medidas de seguridad contra el robo, los horarios de funcionamiento y dónde se puede vender el cannabis.

Continuaron discutiendo los temas después de un período de comentarios públicos de 2 minutos.

“Estoy decepcionada por la falta de

comentarios y participación del público hoy porque esta es una decisión muy importante que estamos comenzando a tomar para nuestra pequeña ciudad,” dijo la comisionada Judith Arce. “Me gustaría escuchar lo que todos los demás piensan y quieren porque odiaría poner esto en un lugar donde el 90 por ciento de la ciudad lo odia.” La discusión sobre la ubicación de los dispensarios en los límites de la ciudad ocupó una parte importante de la reunión. Los cambios en los requisitos de zonificación de la ciudad ahora dejan espacio para los dispensarios en la ciudad; sin embargo, la decisión de traerlos a la ciudad no se tomará hasta que el Ayuntamiento (Winters City Council) reciba una propuesta de la comisión.

Un residente le pidió a la comisión de planificación que decidiera dónde se permitiría a los minoristas la venta de cannabis. Hubo cierta discrepancia con la ubicación de los negocios en el centro (Downtown Winters) debido a la proximidad a las escuelas, la disponibilidad limitada de espacio y la preservación de su carácter existente.

También consideraron otras partes de la ciudad que pueden ser más residenciales o estar cerca de desarrollos de viviendas propues-

tos con una zona de amortiguación. Todo lo que se pudo concluir fue que la comisión no apoyó los dispensarios de marihuana al sur de Grant Avenue.

Aunque no asistió a la reunión de la semana pasada, el presidente de la Cámara de Comercio del Distrito de Winters (Winters District Chamber of Commerce), Chris Calvert, le dijo al Winters Express que el proyecto “le va a

ofreció a realizar una presentación pública sobre el asunto.

“Estoy feliz de trabajar con el personal en una presentación sobre un debate tema por tema que permitiría a la comunidad tener una mejor idea de todo el programa porque la forma en que está diseñada la presentación es mucha información general, pero en realidad no aborda los detalles,” dijo

“Me gustaría escuchar lo que todos los demás piensan y quieren porque odiaría poner esto en un lugar donde el 90 por ciento de la ciudad lo odia.”

Judith Arce, comisionada generar dinero a la ciudad” y compartió sus ideas sobre dónde deberían ubicarse los negocios. “Me interesaría que fuera en la zona industrial o en algún lugar a lo largo de la carretera estatal 128,” dijo Calvert. Si bien Miller no hizo comentarios durante la reunión, más tarde le dijo al Winters Express que su departamento podría participar en las recomendaciones de las medidas de seguridad, pero no participará en la regulación. El presidente de la Comisión de Planificación, Gregory Contreras, se

Contreras. La reunión incluyó otro paso para avanzar antes de presentar el borrador de la ordenanza al Ayuntamiento para su consideración. Los comisionados preguntaron al administrador de la ciudad, Jeremy Craig, si era posible una visita a una ciudad cercana como Dixon o Davis para ver cómo los minoristas de cannabis establecidos hacen negocios de acuerdo con las regulaciones locales, a lo que Craig respondió que se podría hacer en una reunión de “2x2.”

En la presentación de Lovelace se in-

cluyeron las regulaciones de la ciudad y el estado para disuadir el robo, prevenir el acceso de los jóvenes, defender los estándares de salud pública y mantener la seguridad pública.

También explicó que la ordenanza de Winters puede ampliar las condiciones operativas exigidas por el estado. “La ciudad también puede mejorar la responsabilidad empresarial en cuestiones como la seguridad y la seguridad de los productos a través de requisitos adicionales o mediante inspecciones de cumplimiento, auditorías u otros mecanismos que la ciudad pueda querer explorar,” dijo.

Otros temas tratados incluyeron los aportes de la vicepresidenta Lisa Baker, quien dijo que le “gusta la idea de un permiso de 3 años, siempre que haya un proceso de revocación claro por incumplimiento” porque hay personal municipal limitado para revisar los permisos. También sugirió inicialmente permitir que las tiendas abrieran a las 9 a.m. y cerraran a las 9 p.m., ya que muchos restaurantes cierran alrededor de esa hora, pero una discusión posterior los llevó a decidir de 8 a.m. a 8 p.m. con una hora adicional de apertura los Viernes y Sábados. El comisionado Ramon Altamirano argumentó que

las zonas de amortiguamiento “deben ser más pequeñas.”

La última sesión de trabajo en Febrero pasado incluyó a algunos residentes que expresaron su preocupación por el hecho de que la zona de amortiguamiento de 600 pies es demasiado pequeña y hay demasiada regulación. Otros alentaron a la nueva industria porque podría generar ingresos.

Los esfuerzos para llevar el cannabis a la economía minorista de Winters se vieron reforzados en el 2023 por la subvención estatal de acceso minorista de la jurisdicción local de cannabis por un valor de $115,000. El futuro de los dispensarios de marihuana depende de muchos factores más allá de la comisión de planificación, incluida la opinión pública y los dueños de negocios que determinan si existe un mercado en la ciudad.

Los planificadores de la ciudad colaborarán con los comisionados para redactar una ordenanza propuesta en preparación para la reunión del 24 de Septiembre.

Ese borrador luego se compartirá con el Ayuntamiento de Winters en Noviembre o Diciembre. Después, los miembros del consejo pueden votar sobre la autorización de dispensarios en la ciudad y ratificar la ordenanza.

oes frying Brussels sprouts make them less nutritious? I’m asking for a friend.

I’m not really asking for a friend, but I did wonder if eating fried Brussels sprouts counts as a daily vegetable just so I could tell my children that I indeed did eat my daily vegetable.

We are about a month into the beginning of the new school year, and sports and other extracurricular activities have started up. Which means that I’m one of two parent taxi services in my family.

Tuesday is one of the few days I can get away with not being a parent taxi, but the rest of the days you’re bound to see me hiding in a corner reading or working.

Some days are busier than others as I pick up one child, exchange her for another, and drive to soccer, then theater rehearsal, and possibly a meeting some-

One can get rather hungry between all those driving excursions — especially when I don’t feel like going home because the thought of having to leave the house again seems more daunting than working or reading somewhere else as I wait for whatever the activity is to finish up.

Mondays are not my favorite days to cook dinner.

Everything always seems rushed and with press day looming it’s hard to truly enjoy the art of making a meal.

With more of our local restaurants open during the week, the options for finding something you’d like to eat are plenty.

Online ordering is one of the few things

that came out of the pandemic that I appreciated. While some places have shut the option off, many still have it going strong.

The Buckhorn Steakhouse is one of them.

A

fter weighing my options of what would be best to eat quickly but that I would enjoy I opted for the smoked sirloin steakhouse sandwich and an order of fried Brussels sprouts.

I never would have thought that I would have such an adoration for Brussels sprouts, but here we are. I enjoy Brussels sprouts, and having them fried and smothered in a balsamic vinegar glaze with bites of bacon and pepitas

is heavenly.

As for the sandwich, it was the first time I had ordered it and it won’t be the last. Oftentimes I am hesitant about sirloin sandwiches.

Sometimes the meat is so thick you end up pulling it out with each bite and it turns into a mess.

However, the Buckhorn’s smoked sirloin steakhouse sandwich not only features 8 ounces of smoked prime sirloin, but it’s sliced thin enough that your teeth can bite through it but it’s stacked thick enough that you’re able to enjoy the taste. There is nothing inadequate about the amount of meat in this sandwich.

It’s served with Buckhorn’s creamy horseradish sauce, arugula and roadhouse onions. If anything, I would add more horseradish to the sauce to give it more of that bite, but I realize I may be in the minority of folks who enjoy the spicy heat of horseradish.

The sandwich is served with fries and I highly encourage you to pay the additional dollars to make it a side of garlic fries.

Bits of minced garlic mixed in bring it up a notch and don’t forget you can reap the benefits of garlic too. (I do realize this might be wishful thinking in trying to add in more nutritional value.)

When it comes to a once-in-a-while meal though, I say this — deep fry those Brussels sprouts and upgrade to the garlic fries. You’ll thank me later.

Express travels to Washoe County

Courtesy photo

Amari Coleman, Liz, Rob, Phillip and Vasey Coman took their copy of the Express to Washoe County, Nevada, to the home of Theodore Winters. The plaque in front of the 1864 home reads: Winters Ranch: This is Rancho del Sierra, home of the Winters family from 1858 to 1953. The estate once covered six thousand acres of the surrounding property and included an orchard, horse race track and extensive livestock herds. The house was built by Theodore Winters, (circa 1862), who had become wealthy from part ownership in the Ophir Mine, located on the Comstock, which lies across the valley. The energetic lifestyle of the Winters family had a substantial impact on Nevada’a social events, community services, and state politics.

Pitfalls to avoid in the homebuying process Homewise Special to the Express Buying a home is one of the most significant financial decisions you’ll ever make. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned homeowner, the process can be fraught with challenges.

To help you avoid costly mistakes, here are some common pitfalls to watch out for during your homebuying journey.

Underestimating costs One of the biggest mistakes buyers make is underestimating the true cost of homeownership.

Beyond the purchase price, there are closing costs, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and maintenance expenses.

than you can comfortably afford, so it’s important to set a realistic budget based on your income, expenses and long-term financial goals.

Stick to your budget to avoid becoming house poor.

These can add up quickly, so it’s crucial to budget accordingly. Ensure you have a clear understanding of all the costs involved before making an offer.

Skipping the inspection Some buyers are tempted to skip the home inspection, especially in competitive markets where skipping contingencies might make their offer more attractive.

However, this can be a costly mistake. A thorough inspection can reveal hidden issues, such as structural damage, plumbing problems or electrical hazards.

Always include a home inspection contingency in your offer.

It’s essential to do your research and work with a knowledgeable real estate agent who can provide insights into market conditions.

In competitive real estate markets, failing to get pre-approved for a mortgage can put you at a disadvantage.

Sellers are more likely to accept offers from buyers who have been pre-approved because it shows they are serious and financially ready.

Getting pre-approved not only streamlines the buying process but also helps you understand how much home you can afford.

By being aware of these common pitfalls and taking proactive steps to avoid them, you can navigate the homebuying process with confidence and make a smart, informed decision.

Express Yourself

September 11 means memories come flashing back

S

ome dates just bring back memories, both good and bad. Every Sept. 11, I see the buildings burning in my mind and I think of firefighters who didn’t hesitate to climb those stairs to rescue thousands of people before the towers collapsed.

Some memories bring a smile to my face, while others bring tears. Thinking about lost loved ones triggers both, especially on birthdays or anniversaries. I always think of newspapers as the keepers of history, but video recordings and pictures are important, too.

The Historical Society of Winters, the museum, is working on recording local people to make sure we save personal stories about Winters. When Gloria Lopez published her book, “An American Paella” in 2007, it came with a CD of her interviews with local Spaniards. Watching it now makes you realize how many of them have passed away.

I have few regrets

“I have few regrets but one is not recording my father telling family stories.” but one is not recording my father telling family stories. He listened as his grandfather, Wilson Polk Wallace, told Civil War stories around a campfire. Pop was 19 when his grandfather passed away after attending the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in 1938.

Those stories are lost forever.

T

here are no excuses for not recording family history because almost everyone has a movie camera in their pocket or purse.

So why haven’t I started recording family conversations? Who knows, but I’m thinking of Thanksgiving when everyone is in

Horoscopes ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, you are quick to spend money lately, and that can prove problematic in the long run. It may be a good idea to sit down with a financial planner and sort out spending and saving habits.

TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Taurus, this week you have free rein to follow your intuition and express your emotions to those around you. It’s beneficial to get in touch with how you are feeling and explore things further.

GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) There is some unfinished business you need to clear up before you can fully focus on the week or even month ahead, Gemini.

It may be scary, but you need to put it behind you.

CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, it is time to rally the troops, as many hands will make much faster work of something you need to get done. Ask your friends or family to pitch in as much as possible.

LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, you’re finally ready to take a sizeable step toward completing a goal that has been on your list for what seems like an eternity.

It will feel so great when it is far behind you.

VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Do you have an appetite for adventure this week, Virgo? You may not have to travel too far for all of the thrills and chills you desire. Look around for options close to home.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) You may not be feeling like yourself, Libra. There’s something rumbling beneath the surface that you don’t want to share with others just yet. There’s time to be patient.

SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Scorpio, as you move through the week, a certain relationship could begin weighing heavily on you. You’re not sure if you should commit further or move on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, you’re not just ready to hit the ground running, you have the stamina to sail through at a rocket’s pace. This renewed sense of urgency can help you achieve great things.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Capricorn, the week may start off on a good note with plenty of entertaining distractions. Keep the fun going throughout the week.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Your attention span is limited this week, Aquarius. You may need to work from home or block out as many distractions as possible if you hope to get a single thing finished.

PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Make a point of delegating if your to-do list gets a little long over the next few days, Pisces. Your phone will be pinging constantly with alerts, so a little help can go a long way.

Express Yourself Finding gratitude for life’s blessings

T

his is one of a series of letters that my uncle, Russell Fox Taylor, sent home to his wife, Lilla from the battlefields in France, Belgium and Germany. In this letter Uncle Russ makes reference to “the ordeals that lie ahead.”

Intuitively he seems to know that the worst is yet to come. After weeks of combat in the vicinity of Monschau and Mutzenich, the Germans will unleash, with all their might, a final desperate attempt to drive back the allied forces. The 38th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron stands in their way and they will feel the full brunt of what will come to be known as the Battle of the Bulge. In the

readers.

Penned under the trying circumstances of war, his insight gives me a greater appreciation for “the many things to be thankful for” that Uncle Russ so sincerely speaks of in this letter.

—Respectfully submitted by Gerald Taylor in honor of those who fought so gallantly to liberate the world from the tyranny of Nazism.

Holding the line in Germany November 24, 1944 Hope you don’t mind the overnight stop in the letter. Just heard about a movie for us at that time so took off in a rush for some entertainment.

The show was Crime at Night, a mystery story and I enjoyed seeing it.

I spent quite some time yesterday trying to think of something to be thankful for. My heart and soul and everything else I’m truly grateful for seemed so far away that I couldn’t bring them into the focus of my thoughts.

I am not thankful to be in Germany, for it is a thankless country. I didn’t feel like I could give thanks or the tribute to the God of War with its cheap rewards of questionable glory, or gloating over a vanquished foe.

the midst of, or at the expense of human life, misery and destruction.

At least not we Americans.

Long after the turkey dinner had settled comfortably and sleeping on the subject over night, I awoke this morning with a realization, that of many things to be thankful for. My faraway thoughts came into focus and I saw my present situation in a different light.

Although not being any happier about being in this strange land, I do thank God that our efforts in this struggle against evil and oppression have so far been blessed with success and that our presence here must necessarily hasten the end of the conflict and carnage. I give thanks to Him for the strength that has carried us through the ordeals of battle and pray for courage and strength to meet the ordeals that lie ahead.

And let us, in remembrance of our comrades who have made the supreme sacrifice, give thanks to Him that we still live to fight for and win the lasting peace for which thy died.

M

y heart overflows with gratitude for my wife and loved ones who await me in a free and peace-loving land. For solid friendships there.

For whole unmarred buildings and homes and children who can sleep untroubled throughout the nights and awaken to face each new day without fear. For the freedom to worship God as our soul directs. For the majestic mountains and fertile valleys that make our home. For the free right of enterprise, education and government, where all men may choose their own friends and social positions. For the sheer joy of living.

For all these things and more, on this day I thank God and pray for their continuance and ever-widening influence to men of good will throughout the world.

Letters New book club invitation Before I moved to Winters I lived in a very rural area in the northern California mountains. The nearest “big city” was a 3-hour drive over windy mountain roads covered in ice and snow with no guard rails! In the isolation of our tiny community, and in my search to meet like-minded people, I formed a Metaphysical Book Club. I’m excited to share that I’m bringing this to Winters with my friend, Traycee.

We’ll be hosting a Book Club every Friday at 5:30 p.m..

It is free and all are welcome! This will be a safe place where we can all share our personal insights and wisdom without judgment, where we can freely express our viewpoints and enjoy fellowship. As a group, we’ll choose which books we want to study (such as “The Power of Intention” by Dyer, “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success” by Chopra, and “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” by Bach).

Our first book is “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran. If you don’t have a copy, don’t worry as I’m happy to provide a copy for you. Also, you don’t have to come

every time, you can drop in any time.

We’d love community members to join what we are sure to be very enlightening discussions around metaphysics/spirituality! It is free, open to all, Fridays at 5:30 p.m., and refreshments will be served.

Sign up by email at dixiesbookclub@ gmail.com or call 530-212-5026.

A new look Six months ago, my family came from Ukraine to the United States and became residents of Winters. After deaths, rockets, alarms and tears... we found ourselves in a fairy tale called Winters. “It’s nice and calm here,” said the younger son. “It’s clean here and everyone is smiling,” said the eldest son. My wife and I also enjoyed the peaceful spirit of Winters. On the pages of the newspaper, we would like to thank the local residents for supporting and helping Ukraine and Ukrainians in the war with the Russian occupiers.

Thank you for the sincere attitude and help we met on the green streets of Winters!

is really good this year. I’m sure there is a schedule somewhere in the paper, so make your way over to the football field and cheer on our Warriors.

I read that you need to bring your phone because they don’t take cash anymore. When attending grandchildren’s sporting events in Ripon some take cash, but more and more, you need to scan something with your phone to pay. I’m not sure I will ever get used to using my phone as a wallet.

Warriors shut down the Rams at home

By Sydney Andrade Express staff writer On Friday, Sept.

6, the Winters High School varsity football team simply could not be stopped in the game against Rio Vista High School, where the Warriors dominated the game with a score of 77–0.

The game against Rio Vista allowed the Warriors to spread the ball around and run plays they wouldn’t normally be able to during a close-match game.

“In the game against Dixon we only had five different people touch the ball and against Rio Vista we had eight different people score a touchdown which is almost unheard of,” said varsity head coach Daniel Ward.

Lane Brown, Gio Jimenez and Sebastian Rodriguez performed great in the first half. Brown rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries,

Rodriguez rushed for 103 yards and three touchdowns, and Jimenez rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries. Miles Mariani led the Warriors in receiving yards with 54 total yards earned for the game and a touchdown.

In the second half of the game, Jake Woods came in as quarterback and did a great job of running the offense. Ricky Garcia, Nate Apodaca and Jordan Wojan made notable strides carrying the ball.

“Those four had over 100 yards on the ground and all four of them found the endzone,” said Ward.

In addition to the win, the Warriors managed to break two records last Friday night. Winters was unstoppable when moving the ball up and down the field and finished the game with 547 total yards, which is the most yards they posted in a game since

September 2023. In addition to the massive yardage they were able to accumulate, the Warriors also broke the school record for points scored in a game.

While the Warriors had a great offensive game they may have performed an even more impressive defensive game.

“The defensive team only allowed Rio Vista one first down all night and that was on a penalty. We were very physical, played fast and did a great job reading our keys,” said Ward.

Danny Sanchez, Jayden Blackburn, Julian Herrera, Jimenez and Apodaca were all over the Rio Vista Rams. Sanchez led the Warriors with nine tackles, Jimenez and Herrera made eight tackles, Blackburn and Apodaca made seven and Wojan made six.

Herrera and Garcia refused to let Rio Vista keep a hold of the

ball and each forced a fumble, giving the Warriors possession of the ball. Garcia also deserves a shoutout for his performance on defense making five tackles, one of which resulted in a big loss for Rio Vista.

Daniel Fuller and Ramon Lopez were also big contributors and made several tackles in the backfield.

The victory against Rio Vista will hopefully give the Warriors the confidence boost they need as they travel to play Gridley this Friday, who is one of the best Division 3 teams this season.

“They were a lot like us in the fact that they made it to the semi-final game last year and basically returned their whole team.

They average about 270 pounds upfront and their quarterback is one of the best players in the section.

It will be a very physical game and will be a great measuring stick for us,” said Ward.

Youth basketball program opens registration Express staff Registration for the second season of the revived Winters Youth Basketball Program is officially open. Program coordinator Zach Davis announced the registration timeframe in a social media post last week.

The program is open to students in kindergarten through fifth grade and there are limited spots available across the three agegroup sections.

Registration fees are $55 for Kindergarten-aged athletes and $105 for athletes in first through fifth grade.

Registration closes on Nov. 1. Late registration will be accepted from Nov. 4 to Nov. 10. A $15 late fee will apply to any athlete who is admitted as a late add.

The registration division capacity is detailed on the registration page, along with other important program information. A waitlist will

be created for grade levels as they max out in participant openings. Once registration closes, the program organizers will have a better view of the number of athletes and open up if it’s determined that the program can accommodate more athletes. If accommodations can be made, athletes will be removed from the waitlist in timestamp order based on when they registered.

The registration link is available on the city of Winters website at https:// www.cityofwinters.org/171/Winter-Youth-Basketball and on the Winters Youth Basketball Program Facebook page at facebook.com/ WintersYouthBas-

ketball.

Mandatory player evaluations will be scheduled in November at the Winters High School’s Young Gymnasium. More information will be shared as registration gets underway.

According to Davis, the goal of the player evaluations is to utilize information gained to create balanced rosters “so teams are as fair and equitable as possible.”

Program details Davis said the finalized season schedule will be available after registration closes. Athletes will be placed on co-ed teams based on the three age sections. Games are expected to begin at 8 a.m. for the youngest age group on Saturdays between Jan. 4 to Feb. 22, 2025.

There will not be any weekday practices scheduled.

ten teams are parent-led. Davis said he would reach out to interested parents who indicated they would like to volunteer on the registration form. At this time, Transitional Kindergarten-aged children are not able to participate.

The other age groups are broken down into teams of first- and second-graders, thirdand fourth-graders, and fifth- and sixth-graders. The older athletes will have an 80-minute split-session on Saturdays led by high school varsity basketball players. Davis said they will seek parent volunteers if the need arises.

“We will recruit parent volunteers if we are short on basketball players, but the goal is that the kids are coached by current high school basketball players,” Davis said.

City announces new pool hours Express staff City manager Jeremy Craig announced the revised aquatics hours for the Bobbie Greenwood Community Swim Center in his regular Friday update.

The new schedule was implemented on Sept. 2, for the final two months of the swim season to account for students back in school and the shorter daylight hours. Swim season is slated to end after Oct. 31.

The schedules for open swim and lap swim times are available on the city of Winters website at www. cityofwinters.org/169/ Swim. Additionally, Family Night Swim returns on Friday evenings.

The new pool public hours are: • Mondays through Thursdays: Lap swim from 5:15 to 8 p.m.

• Fridays: Family Night Swim from 6 to 9 p.m. Four lanes will

be reserved for lap swim.

• Saturdays and Sundays: Lap swim from 8:30 to 11 a.m. There is no open swim times over the weekends so the pool is available for rentals in the afternoons.

Swimmers must be 16 years or older to participate in lap swim.

A note on the city’s Lap Swim page stated that lap swim would temporarily be canceled on Wednesdays due to a staffing shortage.

The prices for swim passes or pool rental fees are listed on the Lap Swim or Open Swim pages, linked from the city’s Swim page at www.cityofwinters.org/169/Swim.
