School district will continue to provide free meals to youth By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief

Crystal Apilado/Winters Express

Mayor Wade Cowan and his wife Kathy drove to Fremont on Wednesday, Aug. 27 to pick up 100 portable power units and 50 solar panels from Jackery, Inc. The donated units are intended for individuals impacted by the fire.

Fire relief efforts available for Greater Winters area residents By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief Residents living in the greater Winters area who were impacted by the LNU Lightening Complex fire can now request funding assistance and pick up essential and non-essential items at no cost. The Greater Winters Fire Relief Fund is a local collaborative effort created to raise and distribute monetary donations and basic necessities (clothing, toiletries, and more) for community members who lost their homes or who were displaced by the fire last month due to evacuations of their areas. The Rotary Club of Winters led the financial side of the local efforts. They teamed

up with the City of Winters and the Winters Chamber of Commerce to collect cash, checks and gift card donations at First Northern Bank and at a variety of local businesses. Tamsen Schultz, the Winters Rotary President, said as of Tuesday morning they had collected about $61K. She said they still had to collect donation amounts from the local businesses and their P.O. Box.

Officials had issued the evacuation orders last Wednesday, Aug. 19, after the Hennessey Fire, part of the larger LNU Lightning Complex Fire, jumped the highway despite several days of favorable weather conditions that helped reign in the fire’s spread. The LNU blaze stood at just over 375,200 acres in size with 69 percent containment as of 7 a.m. Tuesday. The blaze also continues to send smoke drifting into Yolo County and beyond, keeping local air quality levels moderate to unhealthy.

When students in the Winters Joint Unified School District returned back to school on Wednesday, Aug. 26, the Director of Food Service, Cathy Olsen, was still trying to navigate the plan of how to provide food for local youth. She patiently waited to hear from the state and the federal government on if they would continue to operate in an Emergency SOS (and provide free meals for all children 18 and under) or if they would have to work out a process to create a card scanning system. As of Monday morning, Olsen was working to finish the process of distributing cards for each student in the district. The drive-up meal distribution would allow families who were eligible for free or reduced lunch to sign in, and for other families to pay for lunch using their EZ School Pay account. On Monday Olsen received an update that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had announced the extension of critical waivers to allow the continued operation of the Summer Food Service Program and Seamless Summer Option through Dec. 31. What this meant for

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy McNaughton Media Hair salons and barbershops in Yolo County were given the go to resume indoor services on Monday, but other business reopenings are at least a couple of weeks away. That was the upshot of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s announcement on Friday introducing what he called a new blueprint for safely reopening the state’s economy. “We’ve learned a lot over the last number of months on how this virus spreads,” Newsom said. And now, he said, “We want to make adjustments based upon the input we’ve received from county health officers, input we’ve received from experts, our own ex-

perience here in California.” That included giving hair salons and barbershops throughout the state permission to resume indoor services beginning Monday provided the health officer in that county gives the OK. On Friday, Yolo County’s health officer did exactly that. “It’s gratifying to see small businesses which have adopted strong protections for their customers be able to re-open,” said Yolo County Supervisor Gary Sandy of Woodland, who chairs the Board of Supervisors. “Most hair salons and barbershops are individually owned and operated and are a vital part of our local economy,” Sandy said.

Man allegedly attempts to flee officers in Winters By Lauren Keene McNaughton Media

Crystal Apilado/Winters Express

Winters Fire Engineer Jesus Marquez (left) and Winters Police Officer Thomas Letterman (center) take their oath from Winters City Clerk Tracy Jensen at the Aug. 26 Swearing In Ceremony

Newest Winters police officer and firefighter sworn in By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief Winters Fire Department and Winters Police Department officially welcomed two new members of their teams at a swearing in ceremony on Wednesday, Aug. 26 at the Public Safety Training Facility. Police officer Thomas Letterman and Fire engineer Jesus Marquez took their oaths, administered by City Clerk Tracy Jensen, as friends, family and colleagues looked on. Winters Fire Chief Brad L. Lopez called the job of firefighters a lifestyle as he began to introduce Marquez. In 2015 Marquez joined Winters Fire as a volunteer firefighter while he finished his emergency medical technical class. “Winters Fire is where he began to learn the trade and gain valuable experience as a professional firefighter,” Lopez said. Later Marquez became a part-time firefighter in the City of Red Bluff where he gained additional techniques and skills before returning to the Winters Fire Department as a seasonal firefighter in 2018. In late 2018, he joined Woodbridge Fire Department and was promoted to a full-time firefighter. In March of 2020 he was selected as the top applicant for the

fire engineer by Lopez, and then hired in the position. “As you can see Marquez took the opportunity to gain experience early into his career as a volunteer and a professional firefighter,” Lopez said. “Today he continues to demonstrate dedication, loyalty, integrity and a commitment to serving his community.” Winters Police Chief John P. Miller said it is undeniably a trying time for law enforcement in America, noting it may be the most trying time in history. He acknowledged Letterman as an exceptional citizen who has chosen to endure these criticisms and to strive valiantly for the Winters community; and quoting Theodore Roosevelt, “spends himself for a worthy cause.” Letterman enrolled in the Napa Valley College Police Academy in Dec. 2007, and was soon hired on at the Citrus Heights Police Department where he served as a reserve police officer for 6 and a half years until 2014. Nine years later he resumed a career in law enforcement in December 2018 by enrolling in a recertification course. Letterman was hired onto the WPD by Miller on March 9.

By Lauren Keene McNaughton Media A potentially exculpatory letter has derailed next week’s scheduled trial for the two remaining suspects in the disappearances and presumed deaths of two Yolo County teens. Now, a Yolo Superior Court judge must determine whether the letter is for real. Chandale Shannon Jr., 23, of Winters and Jesus Campos, 20, of Woodland stand accused of helping to carry out the alleged abductions and murders of Enrique Rios, 16; and Elijah Moore, 17; friends and classmates who both vanished in the fall of 2016. Another man, David Froste, reportedly ordered the killings after Moore robbed him of $300 worth of marijuana on the night of Oct. 17, 2016, while in Campos’ and Shannon’s presence. Authorities say the trio then picked up Rios from his Esparto home and that Froste fatally shot him when he

Jailhouse letter causes delay of trial for Winters man refused to lure Moore back to the men. Moore disappeared several weeks later after cashing a work check in downtown Woodland and, like Rios, was said to be slain in rural Knights Landing. Neither teen’s body has ever been found. David Froste, of Knights Landing, was convicted of both murders in 2018 and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. His brother Jonathan Froste, who took part in Moore’s slaying, cut a plea deal in which he admitted to a lesser count of second-degree murder in exchange for his testimony implicating the others. Like Campos and Shannon, Jonathan Froste, David’s brother, remains in Yolo County Jail custody while the case is still pending. Campos and Shannon were on track to face a Yolo County jury next week, nearly four years after the alleged murders, when Shannon’s defense at-

Winters Police Department assisted in the arrest of a man who allegedly fled from probation officers Tuesday, Aug. 25 during a routine probation search, the agency announced on social media. According to the post, probation officers first made contact with Dale Ritter Jr., a validated Vacaville gang member on searchable probation for assault with a deadly weapon, in the first block of Grant Avenue near

Winters High School. “When probation officers attempted to conduct a search of his person, Ritter fled and probation officers detained him a few minutes later at the intersection of Grant Avenue and Second Street,” police said. “Probation officers walked the area where Ritter fled and located a loaded firearm lying in the bushes next to the sidewalk.” Ritter was booked into the Yolo County Jail on various gun-related charges and a probation violation, police said.

torney Bob Spangler announced “a development” in the case Monday that would take additional time to explore. “A letter was received by Mr. Shannon,” Spangler said during a court hearing before Judge David Rosenberg, noting that the document was reported to and collected by the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office. “It is now in the process of being evaluated by an expert for authenticity. It is exculpatory in nature as to Mr. Shannon, probably as well as to (Campos).” Spangler then began to detail the letter’s contents — getting only as far as “assuming that it is indeed from Jonathan Froste, it apologizes for” — when prosecutor Kyle Hasapes requested that specifics about the letter be discussed privately among Rosenberg and the attorneys. Afterward, Rosenberg announced that he found good cause to delay the trial. The case is due back in

court Sept. 28 for a trial-setting conference. “That should be sufficient time for counsel to sort out the implications if not the authenticity of the letter,” Rosenberg said. Meanwhile, Campos’ attorney J. Toney also has filed a motion to sever his client’s case from Shannon’s. That matter also will be heard on Sept. 28.

UPDATE Continued from Page 1 those like Yolo that were on the monitoring list, will begin. In those counties, most non-essential indoor business operations (now with the exception of hair salons and barbershops) will remain closed. To move down to Tier 2 (the red tier), where virus activity is â€œsubstantialâ€? but more businesses can open, a county must go two weeks meeting two metrics: a daily new case rate between 4 to 7 new cases per 100,000 residents and a test positivity rate between 5 and 8 percent. At the time Newsom made his announcement mid-day last Friday, Yolo County met one of those metrics but not the other. The test positivity rate was 5.9 percent, according to the state, but the daily case rate was 7.3. Moving into Tier 2 would allow a number of businesses in Yolo County to reopen indoor activities and services, including gyms, libraries, nail salons, movie theaters and places of worship, albeit with restrictions on the number of people allowed in at a time. Restaurants could also resume indoor dining with a maximum capacity of 25 percent or 100 people, whichever is fewer. Currently nine California counties are in Tier 2: Lassen, Sierra, Nevada, El Dorado, Calaveras, Lake, Napa, San Francisco and San Diego. Yolo could join them if it maintains those required numbers over the next few weeks. When the countyâ€™s case numbers fall further â€” to between one and 3.9 daily new cases per 100,000 residents and a test positivity rate between 2 and 4.9 percent â€” Yolo

Those activities would include indoor wineries, outdoor bars and breweries, bowling alleys, cardrooms and offices. Additionally, greater capacity would be allowed for many indoor activities, including restaurants, churches, movie theaters and gyms.

The lowest tier, the yellow Tier 4, is for counties with minimal virus activity, signified by a daily new case rate below one per 100,000 residents and a test positivity rate below 2 percent. Currently three counties in California are in Tier 4: Modoc, Tuolumne and Alpine. In those counties, indoor activities are generally open though some limits on capacity remain, including

and human services, cautioned Friday that counties will likely progress slowly from tier to tier. â€œCounties are going to be slow moving through this,â€? Ghaly said. â€œIf youâ€™re assigned a tier today, you should expect to be in that tier for three weeks.â€? The most important things, Newsom added, will be reducing case and positivity rates. â€œThose are the two criteria,â€? he said, â€œthat can move a county forward.. all of us as individuals, doing everything we can to lower the case rate, lower the positivity rate.â€? The state will assess every countyâ€™s metrics weekly and if a county backtracks on either metric for two consecutive weeks, that county will be moved back into a more restrictive tier.

Notably, bars and breweries may open indoor service in this tier, albeit at 50 percent capacity. Still to be determined are when amusement parks, sporting events with live audiences and concerts may be allowed. And for all activities in all tiers, face coverings must be worn (except when eating or drinking). Meanwhile, K-12 schools in counties that are in the purple Tier 1 like Yolo are not permitted to reopen for in-person instruction unless theyâ€™ve received a waiver from the county health officer and then only for K-6 in-person classes. Schools will be eligible for reopening fully for in-person instruction once the county is out of Tier 1 for 14 days. However, Dr. Mark Ghaly, Californiaâ€™s secretary of health

New curbside service days added for Winters library By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief Two additional curbside service days have been added to the line up for the Winters community. As of Aug. 31, the Winters Community Library (708 Railroad Ave.) will now have curbside pick up days on Mondays and Thursdays from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. and on Wednesdays from 2–6 p.m. Library patrons may reserve library materials anytime through the library’s online catalog or by calling 530-666-8005 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday. The library’s online catalog is available at https:// web-iii.yolocounty. org/. The curbside service is available to all library cardholders.

The Arthur F. Turner Community Library offers bundles in English, Spanish, Chinese and Russian, and the Mary L. Stephens Davis Branch offers bundles in English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian and Korean. Each library cardholder can re-

Kayaking is the aquatic version of hiking. Not only is it soothing exercise, it’s also a unique way to reconnect with nature while soaking in all the Vitamin D the body could ask for. The first hurdle that comes to mind when getting into this hobby is price. Although a new kayak, oars and life vests may be expensive, price doesn’t have to sink your experience. Kayaking equipment can be rented at different campground areas or one can buy them used online. It’s also not unheard of to ask a friend or neighbor to borrow their kayak equipment, just as long as it’s returned in good condition. When it comes down to it, however, one Winters resident said you just need to find a

way to launch. “I started kayaking about five or six years ago with a kayak that wasn’t great. I was just making do with what I had,” said local kayaking enthusiast Sarah Madsen. “I’m a nature baby anyways, and I’d be driving by Putah Creek all the time. After

enough time passing, I just told myself I got to get out there.” Already an avid outdoor enthusiast, this self-proclaimed ‘nature baby’ seamlessly took to the water. Some of her favorite spots are out at Lake Berryessa towards the glory hole (on the safe side of the

It’s a free launch with tons of parking but tends to be a little windier than Lake Berryessa.” Where calm waters are always nice to float on, some like Bruno Pitton prefer their water in rapids. “It’s super fun, challenging, humbling, and sometimes scary,” Pitton said about the nature-fueled adrenaline rush. “I like the challenge of being in the outdoors and in white water, you’re with a group of people and reliant on each other for safety.

KAYAK Continued from Page 1 the mission accomplished.” Back to slower-moving water, Madsen advises that novice kayakers should remember to wear a life jacket, not to drag their kayak on the way to launch and to know thy body of water. From the current’s strength to the temperature, it’s important to know what one is getting themselves into – literally. Because not knowing whether or not there are rapids downstream can be extremely dangerous. “I was at the south fork of the American River and it was a class three rapid. Then these guys show up and had helmets, wetsuits and thought they were ready to go,” Pitton said sharing about an experience with inexperienced kayakers. “Luckily I was with someone who talked them out of it. You could tell they’d never done it before,

they didn’t even have a spray skirt or shoes.” (Spray skirts are the neoprene material that wrap around one’s waist in the kayak so water doesn’t spill in from the rapids.) Beyond the connection with nature, kayaking can also be a means to protect it. “One day my bass player and I went to Middle Creek and Oak Shores on the north side of Berryessa. There was trash everywhere because of people’s day use and we kayaked and picked it all up,” Madsen said about the infestation of litter bugs in nature. “So anywhere we go we bring bags. Go on a hike, kayaking or whatever we have a bag. It’s the mentality of leaving a place better than how you found it.” With so many amazing places to kayak around the area, what better way is there to beat the summer heat? Just find a safe place to launch, paddle out and roll with the tides.

The full impact of the fires are yet to be tabulated, but most of the houses can be rebuilt, furniture replaced, as with all the vehicles. Living in a digital age, many photos will be stored in the cloud, but albums will be lost forever, as will other family heirlooms and classic cars. Those that lost animals are really hurting. I didn’t think much about the number of houses or out building, but when I heard that seven people had lost their lives, I was wondering if they were the ones that stayed and tried to save their homes? Then someone told me that I knew one of the families, my heart skipped a beat. I met Leo McDermott when our kids were in Little League, over 30 years ago. We were about the same age, like riding Harleys and cold beer. When we ran into each other we would sit and have a drink If you are like me, you occasionally receive by email one of those goofy internet surveys. I never take them, fearing that if I click on the page, my internet provider will be shut out, my computer will be redirected to a server in Romania, and my bank account will be drained. I did however break my rule this week, to participate in the survey concerning the hiring of a new City Manager.

RECYCLE RIGHT

KEEP IT GREEN

It is never too early to evacuate

and talk about family, life and politics. He didn’t like to be told what to do and tried to avoid any contact with any government agency. I think he was pretty successful with staying out of sight and enjoyed his life in the hills above Lake Berryessa. Over the 40 years that he lived on the property, he had built a place were he could live, work as a machinist, enjoy his hobbies and admire his car collection. The last time I saw him was at one of our street fairs last year, and he was with his long time partner, Mary Hintemeyer. Leo was in a wheelchair and told me that he had a disease that was causing his muscles to fail. When I expressed my sorrow, he just chuck-

led and said that he was still enjoying life, and you have to play with the cards you’re dealt. When I asked about his son Tom, Mary spoke up with a smile and told me that the two of them had smoothed out their differences and were getting along for the first time in years. Leo said he wasted too much time fighting with his son and had come to accept him for who he was. I’m sure Tom was thinking the same thing. A friend sent me a link to a story in the Napa Valley Register about Leo and his family. Leo thought that he could survive a fire, or anything else that came his way. His water truck was still running when they found

And the survey says...

It was posted on the City’s web page, though I doubt many people took the time to look for it. Those who did might have wondered how much of an effect participating would have on our City Council, which has the sole responsibility for hiring a successor to Auburn’s John Donlevy. The survey was prepared by the executive search firm hired to recruit candidates for the job, Peckham & McKenney, the same firm which convinced a young man from Grand Terrace, California to apply for the Winters job 20 years ago. As former City Man-

ager Donlevy is fond of recounting, he was the only one who showed up for the interview. Let’s hope Peckham & McKenney has a greater reach after two further decades in business (we are paying them nearly 30,000 dollars to find the next hire). The survey seemed little more than a nod to the oft-cited need for “community engagement” which those of us in Winters always seem to demand. In the end, one presumes our Council will meet with prospective candidates, grill them on their qualifications and visions for a special town like ours,

their bodies a week ago Tuesday. Leo was 71, Mary was 70 and Tom was 41. There are stories about people who stayed and tried to save their homes and their neighbor’s, too. There are also stories about fire crews having to stop what they are doing to try and save those same people. Not all of the stories have happy endings. I know of someone in a wheelchair that lives in Golden Bear Estates who decided to stay and not evacuate when told. Her husband told me that they could have left at a moments notice. I’m sure that’s what everyone thinks before the hills are on fire and fallen power poles block your escape. I’m probably one of those that would want to stay until the last moment, but after this year’s fires and reading about Leo, I’m starting to pack a to-go bag, just in case I get that phone call or a knock on the door. Stay safe, smart, and say a prayer to all of the victims of 2020. and offer the job to the right man, or woman. As for the survey, it began with simple questions: “Are you a resident?” “Are you a business owner in Winters?” and “Are you an employee of the City?” Those were followed by three multiple choice questions, mostly generic, the kind of boilerplate choices which could have been prepared by a search firm anywhere, for a City Manager’s job anywhere, or a job of any kind anywhere. Participants were asked to pick from a list the five most important issues you would like the City to address in the next three years. “Financial stability,” “Public safety,” “Affordable housing,” “Transportation,” were among the choices. Yes, these are all vital issues that any new manager should care about.

home at the time. A traffic accident in June ignited another blaze that grew much larger and threatened more homes. Fire crews eventually did arrive to help with that one. Shurnas said now that he has had more time to think, he understands that there was no fire department response because there were no fire crews available. “It hit everyone so hard and so fast,” Shurnas said. “We would have liked fire response, but we didn’t get it. No one did.” Shurnas said he also understands they were pretty lucky and certainly did not suffer the kind of damage others in the area have sustained. “I feel tremendously for my neighbors up the hill,” Shurnas said. “I think one of my neighbors were

Jason Shurnas has driven up Putah Creek Road

countless times to the home where his mother and father live. He called the drive on Aug. 19 the “worst drive of my life.” Shurnas said he could see the fire “cascading down the hill” as he made his way up from his own family’s home on Main Street in Winters. He said he blew past the intersection where the California Highway Patrol was setting up a roadblock and only hoped the officers did not come after him. They didn’t. “When I turned around the corner (onto Pleasants Valley Road), I thought I was driving into hell,” he said. The next few hours may have actually been worse as Shurnas and his parents, Pat and Debbie Shurnas, battled against a fire that was coming at the house from three

the heat of the blaze. Shurnas admits he frequently wondered how his wife and 4-year-old son were doing back in Winters. They had an escape plan, too, but Shurnas had no way of knowing if Winters was being evacuated. He said he and his father talked about whether to stay or leave at least six or seven times during the night, but it seemed they were actually making progress in the fight so they stayed. “Life is more important than property, and the last thing I would promote is self-help,” Shurnas said. “But it worked for us.” Shurnas said he called 911 at least a half-dozen times, probably more, but no help ever arrived. He admits he was pretty angry. It was not the first time in the past 12 months fire crews had not shown up when the house was threatened. The first of those fires was in October after a forced blackout, but a line broke and ignited some dry grass behind the house. His mother was the only one at

directions. They had to park the “escape vehicle” out in a field, air conditioning running for his parents’ pets. If the fight seemed hopeless, they would decide then whether to go down the front driveway or the side road to the property – whichever seemed safest. The saving grace may have been the 60-kilowatt generator his parents have, which powered the well pump so they had water for their firefighting efforts. “And the one thing I would say to save your home is defensive space,” Shurnas said. “My father, every year, mows the grass down to the ground. Every June.” Shurnas said the range fencing was lost, and a lot of trees and bushes – mostly landscaping – could not be saved, but there had to be priorities. The fire traveled 500 feet down the driveway before they finally stopped it in its path. “I couldn’t get out; I couldn’t keep it out,” Shurnas said, noting the gusting winds and

Teachers Ciara, Karen and Kelly miss all of our students! This school year is definitely something different, but the Winters Parent Nursery School staff is working to keep our little red schoolhouse going until our county is able to switch tiers and we can welcome students into our classroom again. We are inviting all preschool

aged children in the community (and our neighboring cities) to consider joining our Special Program for Distance Learning that is starting Sept. 8. Preschoolers are able to join us in small groups of up to five in our outdoor area for a 40 minute session with one of our teachers. Theyâ€™ll be able to enjoy a story, a craft and teacher engagement (from a safe distance). There is also a virtual Zoom session available for families who do not want to meet at the school, but would like their child to engage in

There is a bright side to the fire in Bonny Doon. We had a nice visit with our daughter Amy and granddaughter Adalyn. Along with many others from her area and across the state, they were refuges looking for emergency lodging. In order to continue working, her husband Jessie stayed with a friend in Santa Cruz who was kind enough to also loan him a change of clothes as they had fled in the middle of the night with Adalynâ€™s two pet guinea pigs and little else. Hundreds of structures perished in the blaze nearby to Amy. Miraculously her home is reported intact as of this writing. Nate Hardy who lives on Quail Canyon Road was also spared. He sent a photo of his home, completely surrounded by burn but still standing. Fifteen other homes on Quail Canyon Road were not so fortunate and were lost. Several other families of our friends and acquaintances have lost their homes to fires in the outlying

areas of Winters. The despair and turmoil caused by such catastrophic losses must be overwhelming for those directly affected. One of my neighbors likened our circumstances to the plagues visited upon Egypt as told in the Old Testament. That gave me pause. Upon checking I find seven plagues. So far in California we have it easy with four which include lightning and fire, pandemic, civil unrest and thick darkness (smoke). Nationally we can also throw in hurricanes. Iâ€™m looking to find two more that have already occurred so that this will come to an end.

Sophie Says

There must be hundreds of personal stories relating to the fires. If you would like me to comment on your story, send it into the Winters Express, attention Sophie. You can email it to news@ wintersexpress.com. In regards to turmoil, have heart; everything will look better after Nov. 3.

Graphic by Richard Casavecchia

The County of Winters, California We are now governed by the color system. As Robin Williams joked in his HBO special, “Tom Ridge will come out every so often and say ‘Today’s a blue day, no orange, RED!’” I immediately thought of that joke when Governor Newsom announced our new and improved (again) tiered color-coded reopening system. Purple, Red, Orange, Yellow … in English those translate to businesses being able to open under the following conditions: outdoor only, indoor at 25 percent capacity, indoor at 50 percent capacity, and open indoor with “modifications.” For those of you playing the home game, this is the 4th or 5th total overhaul to the standards by which we can resume normalcy. The new case standards seem to have no obvious relation to the old county variance standard that we were working toward. Interestingly with this change, we have completely abandoned hospitalizations as a critical metric and now added health equity. Apparently, the goalposts have moved from protecting hospital capacity to counting cases with nary a mention of why (probably because we achieved the original goal in the third week of May and peaked mid July). If Winters were a county, it would have been classified as Red Tier 2 with a seven day average new case count of 6.12 cases per 100K people. Moving evaluation date one day forward puts us at 4.08 and into Orange Tier 3 (pending cases added 8/31). Over the weekend we added three cases to a single day, which will skew our data by the time you read this. Those cases throw off our seven day average only because our population is small and we have seen a consistent but infrequent count of one per day. We more often have zero new cases per day. Three in a day is an outlier for our recent data. I would argue we should consider the three most recent cases as a single case IF

SURVEY Continued from Page 2 But from their list, my number one pick was: “Downtown business.” This should be our absolute, top of the line, unquestioned priority. If downtown fails to recover, there will be even darker days ahead for Winters. “Select the top five personal attributes of the next City Manager that are most important to you,” continued the survey. “Dynamic leadership skills,” “Strong manager of people and resources,” “Strong relations with the Council and staff,” were among the choices-- all pretty obvious. “Strong work ethic, integrity and discipline” was on the list,

they are under one roof and we are measuring how pervasive the virus is in town not simply tallying positive results. Low single digit cases in a day cause dramatic swings in our metrics, and make us look far worse than our neighbors. One case here is worth almost 10 in Davis. Think of per capita cases in Yolo County like volume knobs that go from 0-100, but one can only move in increments of ten while being compared to knobs that move one by one. Since we are concerned with the daily rate of change (each movement of the knob), we are handicapped when compared to our neighbors even though we could only move slower most days if we had zero cases. What does this mean for us? Well nothing unless our elected representatives fight for us to get approval to be treated in accordance to our numbers. Or if they have the moxie, declare that we meet the standards and fight to protect our businesses that may choose to reopen against the assuredly heavy-handed retaliation from the County and State for daring to defy their edicts. The State looks at things by counties. Yolo County doesn’t moderate its response by city, but they should. Davis also exceeds the standard but Davis County would qualify for Yellow Tier 4 coding. Woodland, West Sacramento, and the unincorporated areas are driving the County’s numbers that the State cares about. As a rural county, we are different than Sacramento County. We have standoff and separation between all our cities, 15-plus minute travel times between us, an obvious delineation of where each city ends that is more than a sign on the road. There is less mixing of populations than we would see between Fair Oaks,

but would you ever hire someone you knew to be lazy and undisciplined? The key section of the survey was entitled: “Select the type of career experience that you think is most important for the next City Manager to possess?” And therein were the choices which really matter. Among them: “Experience as City Manager,” “Experience as an Assistant City Manager or Deputy City Manager,” “Public Sector/Local Government experience,” “Track record of strong City Council relations,” and “Experience with California law, rules and regulations.” I chose none of those. In fact, I placed “Experience as City Manager” last in my ranking.

Carmichael, and Rancho Cordova. Our situation is different and our COVID response should reflect that. Gaining the appropriate evaluated tier for Winters would not mean things are back to normal. We still have to play the State’s game, some businesses may not be comfortable opening for indoor service, or they may not think their customers are ready. But they should have the option. We have had five new cases in two weeks, nine in three. I have heard the assertion that Winters has the highest total cases per capita of any city in Yolo so our low numbers are not as good as they seem. Per capita this is true, but as I explained above, scale matters and single cases cause exponentially more dramatic swings than they do for our neighbors. I would submit that anyone who would use our cumulative case total being higher per capita than our neighbors against us, doesn’t have a firm grasp on how our small size skews those numbers as we slowly tick up. Our worst single day of new cases since March was a whopping six in a day at the end of June. We should not continue to be punished because Woodland and West Sacramento are problem cities. I would challenge the members of the City Council to discuss our data either at a Council Meeting or a 2x2 and if they elect to not push for classification appropriate for our data, explain why without resorting to “we have to play by their rules.” The Council represents us, I think it is time we see a far more forceful and public push back against the orders driven by cases in Woodland and West Sacramento that are crushing our town. We certainly have the data. Note: the data and the above graphic should have been calculated on 9/1 but due to submission deadlines it was ran two days early. The State will evaluate counties every Tuesday going forward.

Here were my selections from their list of choices: “Entrepreneurial mindset,” “Exceptional business skills,” “Excellent communicator,” “Innovative, creative and progressive.” Those skills are inherent, instinctual. The rest can be learned. Duties can be delegated. Our next City Manager will inherit a Police Chief, Fire Chief, and Public Works Director, who all know how to do their jobs, and do them well. We have a pretty good Finance Director, too. (That $250,000 litigation fund disappeared like a magician’s rabbit.) As for housing, should Measure A pass in November, the issue of how to develop the North Area will be well on its way

to being settled, and publicly supported. Chromium-6? The state must eventually ease its draconian regulations. Let’s not always cave in to Sacramento. Spend hours applying for grants? Hire a professional grant writer. There are many. To my mind, the next City Manager needs a nose for business, an iPhone filled with contacts, a knowledge of marketing, and a sense of adventure. My advice to the new hire, for what it’s worth--do everything in your power to make Winters a town attractive to entrepreneurs. Let the Council handle community relations. And let your staff fill the potholes.

ramp up to 5.8 million in the second half. That expected rebound would bring the full-year level of existing-home sales to 5.4 million, a 1.1 percent gain compared to 2019. Yun projects existing-home sales to reach 5.86 million in 2021, supported by an economy that he expects to expand by 4 percent and a low-interest-rate environment, with the 30-year mortgage rate average of 3.2 percent. “Scarce inventory remains a problem,”

Pending home sales rise 5.9 percent in July National Assoc. of Realtors Press Release Pending home sales in July achieved another month of positive contract activity, marking three consecutive months of growth, according to the National Association of Realtors. Each of the four major regions saw gains in both month-overmonth and year-overyear pending home sales transactions. The Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI), a forward-looking indicator of home sales based on contract signings, rose 5.9 per-

cent to 122.1 in July. Year-over-year, contract signings rose 15.5 percent. An index of 100 is equal to the level of contract activity in 2001. “We are witnessing a true V-shaped sales recovery as homebuyers continue their strong return to the housing market,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “Home sellers are seeing their homes go under contract in record time, with nine new contracts for every 10 new listings.” Prospective buyers missed most of the

spring buying season due to pandemic-induced lockdown measures. With nearly all states at least partially reopened, the market is experiencing robust activity from the pent-up demand. According to Yun, there are no indications that contract activity will wane in the immediate future, particularly in the suburbs. Yun forecasts existing-home sales to

Yun said. “If 20 percent more homes were on the market, we would have 20 percent more sales, because demand is that high.” He added that he expects housing starts to average at 1.35 million in 2020 and to pick up in 2021, to 1.43 million.

July Pending Home Sales Regional Breakdown All four regional indices recorded increases in contract activity on a month-overmonth basis in July.

The Northeast PHSI grew 25.2 percent to 112.3 in July, a 20.6 percent jump from a year ago. In the Midwest, the index rose 3.3 percent to 114.6 last month, up 15.4 percent from July 2019. Pending home sales in the South increased 0.9 percent to an index of 142.0 in July, up 14.9 percent from July 2019. The index in the West rose 6.8 percent in July to 106.4, up 13.2 percent from a year ago.
