Yolo County sliding closer to purple tier By Anne Ternus-Bellamy McNaughton Media Yolo County could find itself back in the purple tier next week as daily new cases of the novel coronavirus continue to rise. When the state Department of Public Health updates county data on Wednesday (a day later than usual because of the election), Yolo County’s adjusted new daily case rate will have risen to 7.3 per 100,000 residents, according to the county’s new health officer, Dr. Aimee Sisson. That exceeds the metric for the red tier, where the county has been since late September and which allowed multiple businesses to reopen indoors with limited capacity. The state blueprint for reopening features four tiers based on the risk of COVID-19 transmission, with purple as the top tier where virus transmission is most widespread and business activities most restricted. Yolo County spent multiple weeks in the purple tier before moving to red on Sept. 29. “While Yolo’s metrics land in the purple tier at this time,” Sisson told county supervisors on Tuesday, “we will remain in the red tier for the coming week. “Next week, if our metrics once again fall in the purple tier, we may have to move backward into the purple tier.” However, she said, the state last week changed its process for moving counties into more restrictive tiers. Previously, if a county’s metrics fell within a more restrictive tier for two weeks in a row, it would be moved to that tier. Now, Sisson said, before moving the county, the state will look at the most recent 10 days of data
I ndex Features ........................ B-1 Classifieds ................... B-4 Community .................. A-5 Eventos hispanos ....... A-2 Opinion ......................... B-3 Real Estate ................... B-2 Athlete of the Week..... A-5
and if there are “objective signs of improvement,” that county would enter an observation period and would remain in the less restrictive tier for another week. The bottom line for Yolo County: If on Nov. 10, the county still meets the purple tier metrics and there have been no signs of improvement, the county will be moved back to purple and restaurants, gyms, places of worship and other businesses will have 72 hours to close indoor operations. The data the state will be using for tier updates on Wednesday is based on the week of Oct. 18-24 when the county reported 119 new cases of COVID-19, Sisson said. Fourteen of those cases, she said, or 12 percent of the total, were from the outbreak at the Alderson Convalescent Hospital in Woodland. But Sisson said she does not expect cases at Alderson to continue to drive up the county’s daily case rate as the outbreak there has ebbed. Rather, she said, it is cases in the general public that have been increasing recently. “That is not just Yolo County,” said Sisson. “Just about every county in the region is seeing increases in cases.” Going forward, she said, “as this virus spreads, particularly as the weather gets cooler and more people are spending time indoors where we have a higher risk of aerosol transmission, I think there is potential for seeing cases continuing to increase.” County staff plan to issue a press release Wednesday that will describe the process going forward and try to provide businesses more clarity on what to expect in the next couple of weeks.

Free emergency meals for Yolo youth extended through June 30 Winters JUSD requesting families fill out meal applications By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief On Oct. 9 the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) extended flexibilities for the emergency free meals to continue to be available to all children throughout the entire 20202021 school year. A media release from U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue stated the unprecedented move is part of USDA’s unwavering commitment to ensuring all children across America have access to nutritious food as the nation recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic. “As our nation recovers and reopens, we want to ensure that children continue to receive the nutritious breakfasts and lunches they count on during the school year wherever they are, and howev-

City looking to community to help support efforts for local seniors Deadline for applications coming up on Friday, Nov. 6 By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief Local residents and organizations have been making great strides to enhance and provide amenities to make Winters an age-friendly community for senior citizens. The City of Winters is currently accepting applications to serve on the Fundraising Committee for Winters Senior Center Furniture and Fixtures and a term of service on the Winters Senior Commis-
sion. However, the deadline is looming near on Friday, Nov. 6 and the City is asking community members jointing to consider helping in the endeavor to help serve our aging community population. Mayor Wade Cowan said applicants of all ages are encouraged to apply in order to provide a variety of perspective and experience. He said while the City is hoping to get representation from all of the different senior groups in town,
you don’t have to be a senior to serve on either opportunity. “You don’t have to be a senior to help with the seniors,” Cowan said. “None of these positions have any (max) age restrictions.”

By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief Small cohorts of students enrolled in the Winters Joint Unified School District special education program are officially meeting on campus for in-person learning in Phast 2 of the school districts reopening plan. Assistant Superintendent Sandra Ayón said while the small cohorts started first at Shirley Rominger Intermediate School, all of the school sites have rolled out the Phase 2, in person small cohort plan for their special education program.
However, staffing challenges have kept interventions for students enrolled in the ESL program (English as a second language) or who are socioeconomic disadvantaged (foster and homeless youth) to online Zoom engagements. According to Ayón, moving the special program students forward to in person learning was easier because they already have staff specifically for the special education program. It’s harder to provide separate in person learning opportunities for students in ESL or socioeconomic disadvantaged because the teachers providing those services
are also teaching social distancing classes.
Phase 3 planning
Winters JUSD administrators plan to present an update to the Board of Trustees at the school board meeting this Thursday, Nov. 5 at 6 p.m. Ayón said there are many moving parts, and with the guidance constantly changing new challenges have come up with previous Hybrid Learning and Long-term distance learning models.

Eagle Drug cierra oficialmente después de 32 años en el negocio Por Crystal Apilado Traducido por Carol Alfonso

Después de 32 años de servir a la comunidad de Winters, Eagle Drug anunció que cerraría las puertas de sus ubicaciones de Winters y Esparto a partir del pasado Lunes. Una carta escrita a pacientes y clientes de los propietarios Jodie y Zeb Becker colgada en la entrada decía que cerrarían a fines de Octubre. “Hemos estado involucrados como propietarios de Eagle Drug durante más de cinco años y ha sido un placer formar parte de esta pequeña comunidad. Hemos disfrutado conocerlos y tener el apoyo de tantas personas maravillosas significa mucho para nuestra familia de Eagle Drug ”, decía la carta. Los pacientes que actualmente usan la farmacia pueden transferir sus recetas. Jodie Becker le dijo al WInters Express que el Miércoles 28 de Octubre era el último día en que la ubicación de Winters estaría abierta al público para sur-
tir o recoger recetas de la farmacia. Posteriormente, las recetas se transferirían automáticamente a la farmacia CVS Pharmacy en Dixon, ubicada en el 1057 N. 1st St. Las recetas surtidas en la ubicación de Esparto se transfirieron automáticamente el pasado Martes 27 de Octubre a la farmacia CVS Pharmacy en Woodland ubicada en el 7 de West Main St. La tienda Eagle Drug Winters permanecerá abierta después de que la farmacia cierre con ventas de liquidación de artículos sin receta disponibles para su compra. Erik Daniells, uno de los propietarios de una farmacia independiente, Corner Drug ubicada en el 602 de Main St. en Woodland, se comunicó con el Winters Express para informarle a la comunidad que son una opción para que los residentes de Winters transfieran sus recetas. Daniells dijo que brindarán un servicio de entrega a Winters a partir del 28 de Octubre. Las entregas de medicamentos recetados a Winters se realizarán durante un período de entrega de 2 horas los Lunes, Miércoles y Viernes. Los pacientes deben llamar a Corner Drug al 530-662-2813 para transferir sus recetas. Dijo que también han estado en contacto con Eagle Drug y el Winters Healthcare Foundation con respecto a las transferencias de recetas a su farmacia. “Ofrecemos entrega sin contacto si la gente prefiere que la dejemos afuera. No solemos hacer eso, pero esta es una circunstancia especial durante esta pandemia”, dijo Daniells. “Para nuestros servicios, ofrecemos revisiones de medicamentos, tenemos un gran departamento de venta libre y juguetes. También ofrecemos empaques especiales diseñados para ayudar a nuestros
clientes a recordar cuándo tomar sus medicamentos.” Corner Drug también ofrece un programa “medsync” para pacientes que toman varios medicamentos. El servicio coordina el suministro de sus días y surtirán todas sus recetas al mismo tiempo para que reciban una entrega al mes en lugar de varias. Daniells señaló que las entregas son actualmente gratuitas para todos los pacientes, pero una vez que la pandemia de COVID termine, tendrán un cargo de envío de $5, sin embargo, los pacientes del programa “medsync” reciben una entrega gratuita al mes. Becker dijo que el número de teléfono actual de Eagle Drug 530-795-4123 enviará llamadas telefónicas directamente a CVS Pharmacy después del cierre oficial de su farmacia el 28 de Octubre. Los miembros de la comunidad acudieron en masa a las redes sociales con compasión y tristeza por el anuncio de las empresas. Eagle Drug ha sido un gran partidario de muchas organizaciones y eventos para recaudar fondos en la comunidad a lo largo de los años. Becker dijo que las pequeñas empresas, ahora más que nunca, necesitan el apoyo de la comunidad para sobrevivir. Ella señaló que las empresas locales retribuyen a la comunidad, pero no podrán mantener sus puertas abiertas o retribuir si la comunidad no las apoya. Eagle Drug es solo el último de una línea de negocios locales que han cerrado debido a regulaciones estrictas durante la pandemia. The Palms Playhouse, The Scoop, Yolo Trader Bistro y Edge Fitness Academy cerraron previamente sus puertas desde que el Gobernador emitió por primera vez las ordenes de refugio en Marzo pasado.

UC Davis announces remote winter quarter By Caleb Hampton McNaughton Media A majority of winter quarter classes at UC Davis will be held remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic, Chancellor Gary S. May announced Friday. The announcement, which promised further details about the quarter will be released this week, came as no surprise. UC Davis largely shifted to remote learning in March. Since then, the United States has failed to contain the spread of COVID-19. The number of new cases nationwide reached record levels in recent days and public health experts are predicting the coming months to be the deadliest of the pandemic. So far, more than 230,000 people in the U.S. have died from complications related to COVID-19.
Local cases and hospitalizations are also rising. On Saturday, Yolo County reported 28 new cases, the highest one-day total in six weeks, and the county’s test positivity rate continued to climb. As of Tuesday, 61 county residents had died of COVID-19. Through this week, remote instruction and other public health precautions taken by UC Davis had been effective at limiting the virus’ spread in the campus community, according to testing data published on the UC Davis COVID-19 dashboard. From Oct. 24 through 31, the most recent week with results reported, 2,414 students were tested through the campus’ asymptomatic testing program and three tested positive. Asymptomatic campus residents
are screened weekly for COVID-19 using a quick-turnaround saliva sample test that is processed on campus at the UC Davis Genome Center. Until that pilot project is validated, students are being screened concurrently using a nasal swab test that is sent to a private lab for analysis. To date, the testing data on the online dashboard is from the nasal swab tests. Since the start of the quarter, more than 14,000 tests have been conducted, with 9 coming back positive. Most of the students tested so far have been campus residents, though UC Davis recently began expanding access to testing to students and employees who regularly or occasionally visit campus. Students and employees experiencing symptoms consistent
with COVID-19 are advised to see their health care provider. Positive test results from those students and employees are reported in a different online dashboard, which also includes cases from UC Davis students and employees living off-campus, all of whom are required to self-report to the campus by email if they test positive. In that dashboard, there are currently 10 students and 11 employees with active cases. They are all listed as living off campus, which means the three asymptomatic students in on-campus housing who tested positive are the only positive cases on campus. UC Davis has partnered with Yolo County to trace the contacts of students and employees who test positive.
Yolo courts warn of new phone scam By Lauren Keene McNaughton Media Yolo Superior Court officials posted a warning last week about a phone scam in which the suspects appear to be calling from the court’s phone system. “The scam includes telling unsuspecting members of the public that they have a pending case, owe money or have a family member in jail that needs bail money,� officials said in a post on the court’s website. “The scammer eventually asks for money to be deposited

And, if the school district submitted a waiver to the county requesting for in-person learning opportunities, it would only address students in TK through fifth grade. “We want to make sure that we’ve done our part,â€? AyĂłn said. “Our preparedness has to have a solid plan so when we do open, we stay open. If
we go back to purple we won’t be able to open, even with our best plans.� She said the required quarantine pieces of the puzzle have proven to be extra challenging if a family or staff member tests positive. She said the quarantine could last from 14 to 28 days depending on circumstances. Ayón encourages families to join in on Thursday to hear what the most current updates and information is regarding
the reopening plans. She also encourages them to contact her with any questions or concerns they may have regarding the reopening plan and/ or social distancing. “If people don’t ask questions I don’t know what I have to answer to,â€?

WFoL bringing back book sale, benefiting community literacy programs By Rebecca Fridae Special to the Express For many people, one of the only good things coming out of this pandemic has been the time to read and read. But perhaps you have read all the books on your shelf. The Winters Friends of the Library is here to help. Books, books, and more books will be available to buy at the upcoming WFoL Book Sale on Saturday, Nov. 14 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the patio between the Winters Community Library (708 Railroad Ave.) and the Bobbie Greenwood Community Swim Center.
Book Sale Hours
From 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., the sale will be open exclusively to WFoL members only. Non-members can join WFoL at the time and will be allowed in early as well. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the general public is welcome to browse the treasure-trove of donated books. There are current titles of fiction, classics, westerns, young adult fiction, mysteries, children’s chapter books, picture books, and a few antique books. There will also be CDs and DVDs for
sale. Prices for books range from 50 cents to $2. Specialty books will be individually priced a bit higher. During the last hour, most books will be available for the amazing deal of a bagful for $5. Credit cards and cash will be accepted as forms of payment.
Volunteers Needed
The Friends are looking for community volunteers to help during the Book Sale and to help clean up afterward. They are also looking for donations of paper bags for customers to carry their purchases away in. Due to the pandemic, all customers and volunteers will be required to wear masks and keep physically distant from one another. In the event of a large crowd, some people may need to wait in line until
there is enough room to browse. All proceeds will be used to buy materials and benefit library and community programs that Winters Friends of the Library sponsor such as English as a Second Language or the Books for Babies project. Learn more about WFoL by visiting their website at https://wfol. org/ or on Facebook at https://www.facebook. com/WintersFriendsoftheLibrary/.

lthough it’s been riddled with calamity, 2020 is also perhaps the most important election year in recent history. To keep people informed and interested in voting, Winters High School teacher, Matthew Biers-Ariel has gamified the democratic process. Inspired by his son’s interest in presidential and political trivia, Biers-Ariel originally hatched

Educational level up Local teacher gamifies democratic process the idea for “Election: The Game” as a board game. Years later, it’s come to fruition as an iPhone game application encompassing American history, politics and culture. “It’s a fun way to learn about our country and we cover America from George Washington to George Floyd,” Biers-Ariel said detailing about what the game entails. “You learn important things like how the electoral college works, how many justices are on the supreme court as well as funny facts, like [in] which state it’s illegal to get a fish drunk.” With nearly 40 years as an educator – and 20 of which were in
Winters – Biers-Ariel insists people learn best when they’re having fun. It’s this mentality that begets the game’s tagline, MEFA – Make Elections Fun Again. “Be the presidency going from state to state answering trivia questions about the state, but you can’t campaign if you don’t have the dough,” Biers-Ariel walked through how one plays the game. “You have to collect money to campaign, so in smaller states you don’t need a lot of money, but in a bigger state like California you need a lot of money. Whoever gets 270 electoral college votes first wins.” Creating a game, howev- er, requires more

than conceiving it as an idea to bring it to life. Mark Fearing handled the illustrations, Phyllis Gallagher and Martin Hald assisted with software engineering while John M. Hull composed the music and sound-effects. “I will say the game does skew left and president Trump is skewed a lot in the game because he’s broken so many political norms,” Biers-Ariel said giving his honest insight on the game. “There are questions that aren’t very flattering to him, but the questions for the most part are very objective, and you get a clear sense of American history and how politics work in this game.” To Biers-Ariel, being a American citizen means staying informed and getting involved in the political process. Moreover, he hopes this game provides an avenue for people to do just that. One can find “Election: The Game” in the Apple App Store – just be sure to include the colon when typing the name in the search bar. For more information on the game itself, one can visit the game’s website, https://www.electionthegameapp.com/. It’s only 99 cents and a fun way to strengthen your political prowess.

Home sales falter 2.2 percent nationally in September National Assoc. of Realtors Press Release Pending home sales experienced a minor decline in September after four consecutive months of contract activity growth, according to the National Association of Realtors. While all four major U.S. regions recorded notable yearover-year increases, only the Northeast achieved month-overmonth gains in pending home sales transactions. The Pending Home
Sales Index (PHSI), a forward-looking indicator of home sales based on contract signings, fell 2.2 percent to 130.0 in September. Year-overyear, contract signings rose 20.5 percent. An index of 100 is equal to the level of contract activity in 2001. “The demand for home buying remains super strong, even with a slight monthly pullback in September, and we’re still likely to end the year with more homes sold overall in 2020 than in 2019,” said Lawrence
Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “With persistent low mortgage rates and some degree of a continuing jobs recovery, more contract signings are expected in the near future.” “Additionally, a second-order demand will steadily arise as homeowners who had not considered moving before the pandemic begin to enter the market,” Yun said. “A number
of these owners are contemplating moving into larger homes in less densely populated areas in light of new-found work-fromhome flexibility.” Realtor.com’s Housing Market Recovery Index, which reveals metro areas where the market has recovered or even exceeded its previous January levels, showed the greatest recoveries as of October 10 were in Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue,

This year, no party on Friday the 13th I’ve been wrestling with my conscience about hosting a Friday the 13th party this month. The last Friday the 13th was in March, at the beginning of the pandemic. Everything went well and older readers decided to stay home and as far as I know, no one caught or passed on COVID-19. We were lucky. With the virus still prevalent in our area, it wouldn’t be responsible to hold an open house, even if it was in the parking lot. If a few people showed up, that would be a different story, but as I’ve ventured out more and more lately, the crowds are getting larger and larger. Most people seem to be wearing masks, but when the beverages and food come out, off go the masks. It is hard to drink with a mask on, and adding a straw hole defeats the purpose of the mask. The next Friday the 13th is in August of 2021, which is the only one in 2021. If we can’t host a party by then I’ll be even more frustrated than I am now. There are two Friday the 13ths in 2022, so we have something to look forward to as this virus works it way into memory banks. Keep your fingers crossed.

Have a Happy ThanksGavin! I must admit that I am no longer shocked when the newest health regulations are issued by Governor Newsom. On the heels of his orders regarding eating at your favorite (partially opened) restaurant (mask on between bites), and the advice to have a “contactless” trick or treat on Halloween, comes a new and even more punishing edict with regard to America’s beloved holiday, Thanksgiving. No chanting allowed. I don’t know about you, but I have fond memories of my childhood Thanksgiving meals, our extended family gathering for turkey and trimmings, and a long evening of Gregorian chants. Sometimes I could hear our neighbors chanting, too. Some preferred the Old Roman chant, the Ambrosian chant or the Mozarabic chant. The Buddhist family down the street made their own distinct chanting noises. Now, thanks to the restrictions from our Governor, no more chanting. I’m kidding, of course. No one chants at Thanksgiving. But given the ever tightening restrictions we are expected to live with, why not ban chanting, along with singing and talking loudly, in the name of not spreading the virus? Is this approaching the absurd? Or are we already there? Here’s more of what you’re not allowed to do this Thanksgiving. Gatherings that include more than three households are prohibited. So if you and your two siblings (and their kids) want to celebrate with your parents this year, tough luck. That’d be one household too many, and far too many people. Forget about sitting at the dining room table. Gatherings may occur in outdoor spaces only. And if you have awnings, umbrellas, canopies or other shade structures, you must make sure 75 percent of the space is open to the outdoors. Too bad if you live in an apartment building, or if it rains. Assuming you don’t exceed the proper number of guests, and you can entertain outside, you must make sure everyone is seated six feet apart “in all directions, front-
to-back and side-toside.” And don’t dare pass the mashed potatoes or cranberry dressing, because according to the Governor’s mandate, “any food or beverages must be in single-serve disposable containers.” I would have loved to have seen my late mother’s reaction to that. Her Thanksgiving dinners were equal parts food and chaos. One of my favorite childhood memories was pulling apart the wishbone. Under these guidelines, I suppose, one should sterilize each end before attempting this feat. Come to think of it, that wouldn’t work either, since the participants would be too far apart to grab hold of the bone. Other orders: face coverings are to be worn, and replaced between bites. And the family is not to remain together for more than two hours. However, in a generous move, the Governor says it’s OK to use the bathroom, as long as it’s “frequently sanitized.” Finally, in a mandate faintly reminiscent of Cold War Eastern Europe, the host must collect names of all attendees, to be provided to authorities if needed. Is all of this necessary?
After seven months of living with crippling restrictions, confusing statistics, and conflicting advice about safety, haven’t Americans decided by now how to take care of themselves? And what risks seem reasonable? These are questions we might wish to pose as we gather outside, rain or shine, and obey our Governor’s mandate, slipping our masks up and down between bites of single-serve turkey, and submitting our names for the record. I’m worried that in flagrant violation, there might be a fair amount of chanting this year. That chant might be, “Recall Newsom!”
closing its doors, forever. I was hoping that it was just a rumor, but I heard it from the source. Thanks for the phone call. I only have a couple of weeks to find a new pharmacy before I run out of my meds. There are plenty of options, but they are all out of town and not everyone has the ability to trav-
el to pick up their prescriptions. I know that there are mail order pharmacies, but there are always problems when you can’t talk to your pharmacist. My prescriptions are for three months each, so I’m hoping that I will only have to do this one or two times before someone, (Winters Healthcare, Sutter, or Lorenzo’s), steps up and fills
a community need. When that happens, support your local pharmacy whenever you can. I know some health plans didn’t use local pharmacies, but if we get another pharmacy, transfer your prescriptions back to Winters. There is a lot of talk about keeping Winters Winters and that means supporting local businesses whenever possible. I don’t mean lip service, shop locally. I don’t want to hear excuses about cost or lack of inventory. You can always find a reason to shop out of town and supporting local businesses isn’t always easy, but we have to make the effort or we will be losing other businesses. What is a town without a pharmacy, hardware store, grocery store or newspaper? Think about what life would be like to live in a town without merchants. Who is going to support all of the school functions and fundraisers? Not a pretty picture. Stay safe and have a good week.

Crystal Apilado/Winters Express
Halloween looked different this year. Trick-or-Treaters were able to collect goodies through a variety of opportunities around town. Residents set up tables, bowls and other creative ways for children to select candy
or a treat bag from a distance. Other community members let their creativity fly and put those high school math and science skills to work by creating a number of different designed candy chutes to deliver to Trick-or-Treaters. A resident on Kenne-
dy Drive also set up a Wizard of Oz “There’s no place like home” themed decor. It was complete with defeated wicked witches, pumpkin characters, and a candy chute delivering treat bags straight from the Great and terrible Wizard of Oz.
