School board moves first day of school to August 26

By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief The Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve the proposed changes to the 2020-21 school year calendar at a Winters Joint Unified School District special board meeting conducted on July 30.

Highlights of new changes from the approved revisions to the calendar include: • The students’ school start date was moved from Aug. 13 to Aug. 26. Students will return to school via distance learning in late August.

• Teachers will return to school on Aug. 18.

• The last day of school for students is now scheduled for June 10.

The two-week period will provide teachers and staff with an opportunity to receive training on the virtual educational platforms, professional development and tech support to help ensure they will be comfortable and confident delivering remote instruction when students begin virtual learning.

Assistant Superintendent Sandra Ayón said the learn-

ing experience is site specific since each site has its set of platforms and goals to navigate through in a distance learning environment.

“There’s a lot of new learning that has to happen. We want to make sure that they have time to learn it and practice it for a little bit,” Ayón said.

In a message to families Superintendent Diana Jiménez said the calendar adjustment gives teachers and staff additional “runway” to prepare for the start of a unique school year due to limitations presented by the cur-

rent coronavirus pandemic.

“The dedicated teachers in our District want to hit the ground running when they welcome students back to distance learning. In order to do so, we will use this time to deliver professional development, so all teachers can grow more comfortable with distance learning instruction tools and strategies, and share practices for ensuring student engagement,” Jiménez stated in the media release.

McNaughton Media The extent of the spread of COVID-19 in Yolo County is not only worse than it would appear from the latest numbers but actually has been worse than reported for a while, county supervisors were told Tuesday.

Due to delays in receiving test results, as well as problems with the state’s electronic reporting system, cases have been significantly under-reported, according to Brian Vaughn, the county’s director of public health.

In fact, Vaughn told supervisors, Yolo County was placed on the state’s monitoring list on July 8 but data now shows it exceeded the threshold for cases on June 21.

Meanwhile, during the board’s July 21 meeting, Vaughn presented data showing Yolo County had a rate of 146 cases per 100,000 residents.

I ndex Features ........................ B-1 Classifieds ................... B-4

“Now that the data has caught up, the actual rate on that date … is well above 200,” he said.

“The problem’s been much worse than we’ve been presenting but we haven’t had all the data collected yet when we were presenting these results,” he said. “We have a rate in the middle of July that’s close to 250 cases per 100,000 residents, which is significantly higher than what we’ve thought.

“It’s much, much worse than we’ve been saying.”

More recent numbers reported by the county also do not reflect what’s actually happening, he said, given the enormous delay in test results.

For example, the 183 new cases reported in the past two weeks “is completely an undercount,” Vaughn said.

“The data in the last two weeks should be taken with a grain of

County to host free COVID testing events in August

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy McNaughton Media

By Rodney Orosco Staff Writer The Depot building, home to Chuy’s Taqueria and Preserve, will be expanding its outdoor seating by moving onto the sidewalk and pushing the sidewalk into existing parking spots, according to plans submitted to the city.

The Planning Commission, by a unanimous vote at their July 28 meeting, approved the expansion plans as a way to help the local eateries adapt to the realities brought about by the current pandemic.

The expansion will remove two parking spots in front of the building along Rail-

road Avenue and two along Russell Street.

The al fresco seating areas will be separated from traffic by decorative walls.

New affordable houses

The Planning Commission unanimously approved a 24-unit socalled “sweat equity” subdivision in the Stones Throw Development.

The single story, affordable homes, will be from 1,360 to 1,735 square feet in size.

Home buyers will be expected to assist in the construction of each of the homes, thereby, reducing their costs.

The development will be on two acres between Taylor Street and Wyatt Lane.

Free coronavirus testing will be offered throughout Yolo County in August, including on four separate dates in Davis.

The Davis Senior Center will host COVID-19 testing every Thursday afternoon during August.

Four hundred tests will be available each day, according to Jenny Tan, the county’s public information officer.

Additional testing days will be held in West Sacramento, Winters, Madison, Knights Landing, Dunnigan, Clarksburg and Esparto.

Testing will also be taking place all month long at Woodland Community Col-

Traffic court returns to Yolo County

By Lauren Keene McNaughton Media Got a pending traffic case? Get ready to head to court.

Yolo Superior Court plans to resume its traffic-court calendar effective Tuesday, with arraignments scheduled to control the number of people passing through the Woodland courthouse at any given time as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.“For these cases we have staggered calendars at 8:30, 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. and limited the number of people (appearing) to 30 at a time,” Court Executive Officer Shawn Landry said.

Court officials took a similar approach with the misdemeanor criminal court calendar when it resumed, imposing a cap of 15 cases per

time slot.

Those with pending traffic matters — halted in mid-March when Yolo County issued a shelter-inplace order that triggered reduced court operations — should expect to receive courtesy notices reminding them to appear, with the oldest pending cases being handled first, Landry said. Still need a court date? Call the court’s traffic division at 530-406-6702.

Meanwhile, the court is about a month into its resurrection of jury trials, which began July 6 after a three-month hiatus.

As court officials previously detailed, “this process involves a hybrid approach where we are calling jurors for hardships/ orientations virtually, but voir dire (questioning of prospective jurors) and the trial are conducted physically in the building, following our mask and social distancing guidelines,” Landry said.

For those not at the courthouse, trials are audio-streamed via the court website, www.yolo.courts. ca.gov.

The return of traf-

fic court leaves only unlawful detainer actions — or, eviction proceedings — as the last court matters to return, but “these cases are on hold until we get word from the governor and (California) chief justice,” Landry said.

Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statewide moratorium that currently allows lo-

cal governments to delay evictions until the end of September. Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakaye announced last week an impending vote by the Judicial Council, which oversees the state’s court system, on whether to end a ban on eviction proceedings in the next couple of weeks.

Barbara Doris Laughlin June 8, 1930 — July 20, 2020 Long time Winters resident, Barbara Laughlin, age 90, passed away peacefully on July 20, 2020.

Barbara was born in Aldershot, England to George Percival and Doris Powell Tildesley. Growing up in England with her older sister Daphne, Barbara enjoyed belonging to the Girl Guides and Sea Rangers. Barbara excelled in her studies and received a degree in Chemistry from the University of Cambridge, England.

After receiving her degree, she continued to pursue her studies in Chemistry at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas.

While there, she met and married her husband, Robert Laughlin.

The couple moved to the San Francisco Bay area, where Barbara began her career in her chosen field of Chemistry at California Research, now Chevron Research.

After a few years Barbara and Robert decided to start a family.

After the birth of four children and many relocations, the family eventually moved to Winters. Once the children were school aged, Barbara worked as a teacher’s aide for the Winters School District, then as a Lab Assistant in Microbiology at UC Davis, and as a tax preparer. She was also a longtime school board member, and a devout member of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Woodland.

Three years after the passing of her husband, Bob, Barbara moved to Rocklin to live with her son and daughter-in-law, Bryan and Kristin.

She led an active life in Rocklin, going to chair yoga and to a Parkinson’s (PANC) exercise group several times a week, as well as becoming an active member of St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church. She attended a Low Vision Support Group after she was diagnosed with macular degeneration

and also attended a Parkinson’s Support Group.

Barbara loved reading and spent many an enjoyable hour deep inside her latest mystery novel. She also enjoyed crocheting, crossword puzzles, and learned to use her tablet to play lots of word games. Barbara was a lifelong blood donor, her contributions saved many lives. She enjoyed her family and made many trips to see family up north in Willows and in Seattle, Washington as well as several trips to visit her daughter in the Washington DC Metro area.

Barbara is survived by her children Laura (Tom), Ian (Shelly), Bryan (Kristin), and Bruce (Rene), her grandchildren Ian Jr. (Danielle), Heather (Mike) Fyrqvist, Megan (Steve) Moore, Nick (Stephanie), Ethan, Gavin (Miranda), and Chelsea, and great grandchildren Kaiden, Autumn, Madelyn, Kai, Danny, Jackson, and Braiden.

Switching to a distance learning format brings classroom and learning into homes and day care facilities.

“As we embark on distance instruction and learning, the home-school partnership is critically important. For this to work, we are committed to provide families the resources they will need to support their child’s/children’s learning,” Jiménez said.

Information about the official bell schedules and the finalized version of what distance learning will look like by site will be presented at the Aug. 6 Winters JUSD school board meeting starting at 6 p.m.

Winters JUSD has also scheduled parent forums where their Educational Service team will present the distance learning plan, schedules and answer questions from families.

The dates of the parent forums are: Tuesday, Aug. 11 - English sessions: ~Elementary Parent Forum at 5 p.m. ~Secondary Parent Forum at 6:15 p.m.

Those numbers could impact any decisions on whether elementary schools in Yolo County will be able to reopen for in-person instruction any time soon.

Currently schools that are in counties on the state’s monitoring list must stick to distance learning until they’ve been off that list for two weeks. But as of Monday, elementary schools can apply for a waiver if they meet a number of standards, including on local disease transmission -- namely, fewer than 200 cases per 100,000 residents in a county.

“I am not confident that we are under that right now even though more recent data suggests that we may be,” said Vaughn, “and that’s because of the delayed test results and the issues with the electronic reporting system right now.

“I would say any data that includes the past two weeks, I don’t have a whole lot of confidence in right now. We likely don’t meet that threshold and so we would not be issuing waivers.”

Winters JUSD is also setting up a Parent/Family Resource Hub to provide answers, tips and tools for parents/families and caregivers so they can help to support Winters students in the distance learning environment.

“As we embark on distance instruction and learning the homeschool partnership is critically important.”

Diana Jménez, Superintendent A Save The Dates flier was sent to families on Tuesday afternoon. The link for the hub will be made available within the week.

Questions for the school district can be sent by email to feedback@wintersjusd.org by Aug. 7.

“We hope you can see how this calendar change for the students’ start date is going to allow us to be better prepared to design and deliver the quality instructional plan and es-

instruction would have to come from the local health officer, Vaughn said.

“They’ll be the ones signing off.”

Meanwhile, Vaughn presented new data to the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday that he cautioned should also be taken with a grain of salt, given a significant portion of the data is not in yet.

That data showed that as of Monday, the

On July 24, Winters High School Principal John Barsotti issued a message to WHS Class of 2020 graduates and their families to notify them that due to the ongoing pandemic the graduation ceremony scheduled for Aug. 8 had been canceled.

“While we held out hope to provide our graduates with the traditional recognition ceremony they have earned and expected, the health and safety of our students, families, and staff must remain out top priority,” Barsotti said. “I would like to commend and thank our members of the Class of 2020 for the grace and strength with which they have accepted these circumstances and the positive manner in which they have conducted themselves during this challenging time.”

The WHS Grad Nite Parent Group has arranged a virtual Grad Nite Giveaway YouTube event for the Class of 2020 on Aug. 7. Each Class of 2020 graduate will win a prize.

the message needs to continue to go out that people cannot relax in terms of compliance with the (health) orders and avoiding large gatherings, wearing face masks, avoiding (indoor activities).”

He asked Vaughn what else the county could be doing “because I’m concerned about the exponential increase in the virus.”

“I would say any data that includes the past two weeks, I don’t have a whole lot of confidence in right now. We likely don’t meet that threshold and so we would not be issuing waivers.”

Brian Vaughn, Director of County Health county had 1,572 total cases, including 183 in the last two weeks and a seven-day test positivity rate of 9.13 percent.

“Maybe three weeks from now we’ll know what the current situation (actually) is,” said Supervisor Jim Provenza of Davis.

However, the test positivity rate, even with delayed test results, “is a pretty significant cause for concern,” said Provenza. “That’s a high rate and I think

Vaughn replied that much is outside the control of the county.

“It’s largely being driven by gatherings… something we can’t control,” said Vaughn. “It’s a lot of personal behavior.”

However, he said, “certainly we don’t want large gatherings. The schools cause us concerns.

The university coming back and students coming back… we’re working with those entities to make sure if people are coming

Kresta Daly Barth Daly LLP

back, they’re as safe as possible.”

County supervisors also expressed concerns about UC Davis students returning.

The university’s policies, said Provenza, “need to be as strict as the order in the rest of the community.”

He cited one policy he said was lacking: “I noticed that they were permitting students to eat inside in their dining commons where we do not permit eating indoors in restaurants.”

He urged that the county health officer be vocal about what the university needs to do to reopen safely.

Supervisor Don Saylor of Davis noted that “the UC Davis campus doesn’t open until the end of September so there’s some time to continue to work on some of these plans.”

However, he said, “I think we have reason to be concerned about the return of thousands of people from all across the country, some from other parts of the world even.

“Making sure that we’ve got very careful thought going into how that might work, whether it should work, is really important,” he said. “It’s a major issue for us, for public health, for the communities of Yolo County.”

Vaughn said county health officials have been meeting with UC Davis representatives “and expressed our concerns about so many students coming back.”

Last week to donate to Winters school supplies drive

By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief Winters community members have been collecting and donating school supplies, gift cards and monetary donations to help provide backpacks with basic school supplies for Winters students.

Organizer Raquel Arellano first began collecting supplies for the 2020 Winters School Success Program supply drive on July 21 with intentions to create 50 backpacks.

Arellano, a 2002 Winters High School graduate, said three years ago she became aware of a family who needed assistance in providing school supplies to their children. That first year she helped with providing their children with school supplies and the efforts have grown from that experience.

This is the third year that she has been creating back to school backpacks for Winters students, but said this is the first time she has made it a community effort. Last year Arellano delivered 25 backpacks with supplies. With the help of the community she said she’s now closer to delivering almost 100 backpacks.

“I’ve always known the Winters community to come together and help one another, but the response to this drive has been spectacular,” Arellano said. “We’ve surpassed my goal of 50 back to school kits and are much closer

to 100 now. And we still have one week to go. The donations are still coming in and it’s amazing.”

She is working with administrators at the different Winters schools to get in contact with families who are in need of assistance with school supplies this year.

Needed School Supplies

In the last week of the supply drive, Arellano said they no longer need No.2 pencils, glue or ziplock bags. However, they are still in need of the following supplies: ~Boxes of crayons (24 count). ~Packs of markers or colored pencils. ~Children-sized scissors. ~Spiral notebooks. ~Plain pocket folders. ~3-ring binders. ~Mechanical pencils. ~Ink pens in blue, black or red. ~Pencil sharpeners. ~Sharpie markers. ~Flash drives. ~White out. ~Post it Notes. ~Plastic cases.

Where to Donate

Supplies are being accepted in drop off bins located at Lester Farms Bakery and at Eagle Drug. The last day to donate at these locations is Friday, Aug. 7.

Arellano is also accepting donations of gift cards (to Walmart or Target) or monetary donations via Venmo.

Contact Arellano at wintersprogram@ gmail.com for more information.

Sixth grade student drop off/pick up event scheduled Aug 10

By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief Incoming sixth grade students at Winters Middle School will be able to drop off their fifth grade materials and pick up new Chromebooks before the beginning of the school year on Aug. 10 starting at 9 a.m.

Shirley Rominger Intermediate School and Winters Middle School staff have coordinated a streamlined materials drop-off and Chromebook check-out process across both school sites. WMS Principal Phoebe Girimonte said they want to ensure that all students have the connectivity and resources they need to access distance learning.

The sixth grade event is being coordinated to help prevent gaps in the transition from Rominger to becoming a student at WMS. “We want to make sure that all families have the information and support they need to partner with us,” Girimonte said. “We want to make sure we are providing timely and helpful information to sustain and build upon relationships.”

Day of Event Schedule

Families should begin the process by dropping off their fifth grade materials and Chromebooks at the Rominger Multi-Purpose Room between 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

Students need to return their Chromebook, charger, classroom library books and school library books.

They’ll also need to return

Theatre production challenges

By Jesse Akers Director, Miracle Worker & WTC Board President Company had put together a very challenging dramatic production.

It does have its light moments, too.

This production is blessed with very devoted performers that sincerely want to give the audience the best they can by creating believable characters. We also have well designed and crafted sets, period furniture, sound, music and beautifully made period costumes that bring the audience into the story. Hours

prefaced by hours of memorization at home. After weeks of practice, the production enters into what is called “Tech Week,” that is, one full week of doing the show every night to fully “get the bugs out,” before opening night.

It is mentally and physically exhausting for everyone.

It is exhausting in the good sense, like finishing a hard run race, completing a difficult composition, or completing the entire harvest on time.

Training working dogs Giving canines jobs in the community

By Aaron Geerts Staff Writer Dogs embody love, loyalty and are invaluable members of the families they’re a part of. For Christa Haefner, it’s her love for dogs – and animals in general – that’s

kept her around them her entire career.

Before opening Cornerstone Canine Concepts in Winters, Haefner focused on training horses while training dogs was something she did on the side. After 20 years of horsing

around, she decided to retire from horses and focus solely on dogs.

“Training dogs is easier on the body than training horses,” Haefner said about getting deeper into dog training. “My relative was a canine

sergeant for 25 years and has his own business. He taught me how to train dogs to detect contraband, drugs, guns and those kinds of things. Then I got two of my dogs certified as contra-

B8 — Winters Express, Wednesday, August 5, 2020

U.S. pending home sales suggest 17 percent increase in June Nat’l Assoc. of Realtors Press Release Pending home sales continued to ascend in June, sustaining two consecutive months of increases in contract activity, according to the National Association of Realtors. Each of the four major regions experienced growth in month-over-month pending home sales transactions, while the Northeast was

the only region to not record increases in year-over-year pending transactions.

The Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI), a forward-looking indicator of home sales based on contract signings, rose 16.6 percent to 116.1 in June. Year-over-year, contract signings rose 6.3 percent. An index of 100 is equal to the level of contract activity in 2001.

“It is quite surprising and remarkable that, in the midst of a global pandemic, contract activity for home purchases is higher compared to one year ago,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “Consumers are taking advantage of record-low mortgage rates resulting from the Federal Reserve’s maximum liquidity monetary policy.”

In light of the appar-

ent housing market turnaround, NAR has raised its forecast for the market. For all of 2020, existing-home sales are expected to decline by only 3 percent, with sales ramping up to 5.6 million by the fourth quarter.

New home sales are projected to rise by 3 percent.

Yun expects that the positive GDP growth of 4 percent in 2021 will boost both existing and new home

reaches the market, according to Yun. The National Association of Realtors is America’s largest trade association, representing more than 1.4 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.

A good year to avoid the Sturgis Rally It is amazing what happened to a small town that hosted a simple bike race back in 1938. Sturgis, South Dakota, is about the size of Winters, but swells in population the second week of August. The estimates vary, but more than 300,000 motorcycles show up each and every year. This will be the 80th time that the city/county will host the event, and yes, they are still planning on taking care of up to 250,000 people this year, about half of what they had last year.

Sturgis advertises itself as “The Best Party Anywhere,� and if you have ever been there, it is hard to argue. The last time I was at the rally was 1998 and I thought it had too many people back then. The ride to Sturgis is the best part of the adventure.

Seeing Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Mountain, Devils Tower, Deadwood, the Badlands and the Black Hills is a once in lifetime vacation that you can experience every year if you have the time, and energy.

Personal space doesn’t exist when you are in downtown Sturgis. Bikes are parked everywhere there is an empty space and even

where you don’t think a bike would fit. Bars and restaurants are packed, shoulder to shoulder while civic groups use the event to raise thousands of dollars with pancake breakfasts, turkey legs, tri-tip sandwiches, you name it and some group is selling it.

There are more leather, t-shirt and tattoo shops per square foot than anywhere on earth. It is one big party for a little over a week and then times go back to normal small town life. People worry about losing their pharmacy and hardware store and worry about funding their schools and youth activities. Merchants try to figure out how to make a living off tourists after August rides by.

Right about now, farms turn into campgrounds and RV parks while families rent out their homes and businesses for the month. It would be hard to budget for a business that is only open for 10 days a year, but Sturgis makes it happen.

I was reading that the citizens of Sturgis wanted to cancel the rally this year but the business community convinced the city council to keep the

Landscaping

rally open. Some argued that the people would come even if the city council said they were closed, which I believe to be true. Most businesses said they would be open no matter what the council said because South Dakota isn’t in lock down with few COVID-19 cases in the state. There isn’t anyone home in South Dakota, but that will change next week.

If you are bored and want to test your immune system, you might want to travel

to South Dakota next week. I wouldn’t even think about going, there will still be too many people. Those living in Sturgis are right in trying to limit their exposure to outsiders during a pandemic, but people will come and merchants will try and make enough money to make it to next year.

Live goes on and this too will pass.

Try and behave yourselves and have a good week. It could be worse, we could live in Sturgis.

THEATER Continued from Page 1 This year we did all of the work to give the best performance we could of “The Miracle Worker.” It was completely ready to give to the audience.

Tickets were sold, the desserts were in the kitchen, tables and chairs were dressed and set. One of our players was not feeling 100 percent, but, often we have had “troopers” ill and still able go on. That is where “break-aleg” comes from. (A doctor visit proved no coronavirus).

However, this year the wave of caution was fast gaining on us. During tech week restaurants were closing.

Cinemas were closing. Other theaters were closing. Schools were closing. I was confident that we were OK.

We spaced the audience at four people to each nine-person table. The tables were spaced. Tissues were on each table as was hand sanitizer. People in the company were suggesting we postpone the show, but not the cast. I wanted to keep going.

Too much work had been done. Too much effort was invested.

The show was truly a piece of living art.

If we postponed the show, no one would ever see it. We had to open the show.

On Friday of opening night, March 13, I began to wonder if I was being a “trooper” and keeping this beautiful thing going, or was I just bullheaded and being reckless.

After consulting my trusted advisers, at 2:30 p.m. on opening day, four hours before call-time, the cast was contacted canceling opening night, a very,

very devastating decision.

During the vital months in “lockdown,” the cast started read-throughs of the show’s lines using ZOOM virtual meeting room. The cast enjoys seeing each other and chatting before we start. After the reading starts the show begins to live again. Just like any caring group, we miss each other.

We are still keeping spirits up reflecting on all the work we put into the show. Now, however, our encounters are virtual.

The beautiful set was on the stage just as we left it, in its own quiet “lock-down” till one morning at the end of June. We had to take it down in sections to store it till we can put the show on. We’re all hoping to open the show next March. That will mean the show will reach one-year postpone-

ment. The date the “lock-down” is lifted will determine when the show can continue. Currently, the Community Center is closed except for “Meals on Wheels.”

Normally WTC produces five shows each year.

There are a lot of devoted people involved in putting a production together. We are all volunteers. The company gives the net profits back to the community by monetarily supporting different service organizations or groups such as the music boosters and arts in the schools, Friends of the Library and different senior citizens organizations. The biggest challenge of being active people in theatre is that it’s very hard to stay home and wait.

K9 Continued from Page 1 band canines and myself certified as their handler.”

Haefner certainly got her paws wet in the dog training business having produced two certified detection canines, a canine rogue certified detection, canine for narcotics and guns and canine creed certified detection.

In her time as a trainer she’s also competed with some of her dogs in Schutzhund.

Comprised of tracking, obedience and protection, the sport fit seamlessly with Haefner’s pedigree of passion.

“My ultimate goal is to do contraband searches in schools to deter students from bringing drugs or weapons. It’s been done in southern California successfully and my plan was to do it in northern California, but then COVID happened,” Haefner said on adjusting her goals. “When that opportunity died, I got into bed bug detection work. You go to hospitals, hotels and nursing homes and use dogs because they’re less obvious than having a pest company come in and make people staying there uncomfortable.”

“You’re helping the animal, teaching them to be a better animal which makes life easier for everyone. People are happy they have a dog that they enjoy rather than [one that destroys] their house. It’s consistency, patience and repetition.

That’s what gets your dog trained.”

PROTEST Continued from Page 3 so sensitive, so easily offended.

We are a deeply divided nation when it comes to our politics, and will likely continue to be so going forward, but political correctness can easily get out of hand.

When realtors announced they will no longer use the words “master bedroom” in describing a house, because “master” may remind some people of slavery, have we not crossed the line?

Which brings us to the incident in Winters last week.

From outgoing City Manager John Donlevy’s office came an invitation to an event intended to honor the longtime, hardworking City staffers (including Donlevy), who are retiring or moving on.

Like the Mrs. Lincoln line, it was an attempt at sarcasm, which is not easy to do well.

It was an invitation to “protest” the retirements of the City officials. “The rampant abuse by some people taking personal liberties to dedicate time to family, life and career simply must end,” read the flyer.

“It’s time to march on these people and hold them accountable,” it continued, adding that attendees should wear a mask and social distance.

“Bring a protest sign!” it concluded.

Using two of today’s favorite buzz words, the flyer referred to the “surge” in retirements, and that certain liberties (their new lives) be “defunded.”

This was clearly, quite simply, an at-

tempt at being clever, albeit clumsy.

Indeed, in some quarters, the joke fell flat, or in the parlance of a comic met with silence, it bombed. (Its author can be forgiven for not being a professional comedian.)

But what’s noteworthy is that at least one person complained, and in today’s world that’s often all it takes to shut something down.

It was alleged that the City Manager deliberately called the gathering a protest so that it may take place under the guise of the First Amendment, instead of as a generic public gathering, which might serve to spread the virus.

If so, Machiavelli would be proud. But I sincerely doubt that was the motive.

Nonetheless, Yolo County chose to involve itself and insist that the event be cancelled, and the City of Winters relented.

The whole affair makes me sad.

The flyer was a genuine appeal to say goodbye to some of Winter’s top officials who certainly merit a celebration. It’s hard to imagine such an event would take place carelessly.

I’m sad, too, for our nation’s sense of humor.

Did this “protest” cross the line? Can we not joke with one another anymore? Is everything political?

Have we elevated being personally offended to a high art form?

While you ponder those questions, let me wish Dan Maguire, Carol Scianna, and John Donlevy all the best in their new lives ahead.

Someday, I hope they get the party they deserve.

Letters In response to school dren do not transmit COVID to peers or reopening The July 22 issue contained two letters arguing two different things. One letter was from a group of teachers who argued to reopen schools, and one was from a teacher arguing the opposite, citing her own safety and potential loss of income. I would like to applaud those teachers who put the children first, citing the ineffectiveness of distance learning to date, mental health concerns, and a study that indicates chil-

teachers. In a webinar with the Bucks Institute on July 14, CDC Director Robert Redfield said, “But there has been another cost that we’ve seen, particularly in high schools. We’re seeing, sadly, far greater suicides now than we are deaths from COVID.” It is time to put the children first. As Frederick Douglass said, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”
