Police seeking camera footage following multiple vehicle thefts

By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief The Winters Police Department is seeking camera footage from local neighborhoods impacted by a string of vehicle thefts that occurred on Sunday, Jan. 23 between 2–4 a.m.

Winters Police Chief John P. Miller said pickup “work” trucks with tools (in sight or easily accessible) were noted as being targeted. A dark-colored SUV with a body style similar to a Toyota Highlander was filmed by security cameras in the vicinity of a few of the incidents.

There is currently no suspect information or further vehicle description available, and all of the thefts are under active investigation.

Residents who have any camera footage they believe could be beneficial to these investigations, or who witnessed any suspicious activity, are asked to call 530-7954561. Miller said that the thefts occurred across town and there wasn’t a specific neighborhood targeted.

As of Monday, there were up to nine reports that they believe are associated to the thefts of work trucks. Miller said most of the incidents are thefts from unlocked vehicles (and/ or toolboxes in the vehicle). He said there was one vehicle that had a window smashed in with tools taken, and one of the reports was for a “work” truck (with keys in vehicle) that was recovered by the

Vacaville Police Department on Monday.

“As we have seen over the years, Winters is targeted every few months by outside group(s) since there is a sense of safety and security here and residents leaving vehicles unlocked, keys in vehicles, etc,” said Miller.

“Further, truthfully and very unfortunately, when it comes to property crimes in California, there is very little, if any, ramifications even if they are caught, so the best strategy is prevention simply taking valuables out of your vehicle (and/ or not leaving them in plain sight) and making sure you lock your vehicle at night.”

Winters PD offered the following safety

County rapid test kit supply runs out, City extends public facility closures

By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief

EXPRESS

As of Monday, Yolo County’s supply of free antigen rapid kits had run out until county officials receive an additional supply from the state.

Yolo had been hosting drive-thru events across the county to pass out the free antigen rapid test kits to community members who had tested positive for COVID and were in need of an antigen test to reduce their isolation timeframe.

Winters City Manager Kathleen Salguero Trepa notified the Express on Monday to confirm the County had exhausted its supply of 10,000 antigen rapid kits, and there was not an estimated timeframe of when it might be

replenished.

The free at-home COVID-19 test kits from the US Government are still currently available. The tests are rapid antigen at-home tests, not PCR. Limited to four kits per household, residents must have a residential address on file with the US Post Office.

To order the kits, begin the process by filling out the form available at https:// www.covidtests.gov/ or by calling 800-2320233. Kit orders are expected to ship in 7-12 days after ordering.

Free community testing opportunity is available to the Winters community through a partnership with COVID Clinic and the Winters Joint Unified School District. The testing locations and schedules, and registration links are available online at https://www.wintersjusd.org/covidtesting/.

Yolo County is continuing to offer COVID-19 vaccine clinics and at-home vaccines to residents.

To check the vaccine clinic schedule or to make an appointment, visit myturn. ca.gov or call toll-free 1-833-422-4255.

To receive an inhome vaccination, call to schedule a visit Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for English: 530-902-3230 or Spanish: 530-220-6481.

The location of the downtown art park is the area along Main Street between the Pacific Ace Hardware and the Yolo Pharmacy buildings, and behind the Winters Hotel building.

City pushing forward on downtown art park

By Rick von Geldern Express staff writer For the past 20 years there has been a vision of creating an exhibiting arts and performance park in the center of downtown on Main Street. However, the city-owned lot between Pacific Ace Hardware and Yolo Pharmacy has remained vacant except for some bushes, a couple of trees, a bench and the annual community piano.

At the Jan. 18 Winters City Council meeting, council was

presented with Resolution 2022-10 recommending approval of a Rural Recreation and Tourism (RRT) grant proposal written on behalf of the city by Valerie Whitworth with the assistance of City Manager Kathleen Salguero Trepa.

Whitworth, who with her late husband Michael Barbour, sold the city the lot almost 20 years ago, along with architectural plans, after the city expressed interest in making it into an exhibit art park.

Then things stalled.

Solano approves Pleasants Valley riding center improvements

By Todd R. Hansen McNaughton Media Edward and Joetta Griffin will soon be able to hold horse shows at their Pleasants Valley Riding Arena, Horse Boarding and Training Facility.

Last Thursday, the Solano County Planning Commission unanimously approved the use permit amendment that allows for the horse shows and approves the addition of four accessory buildings and living quarters for one employee.

The 67.64-acre ranch, part of a larg-

er 107-acre site that includes miles of riding trails, is located at 7680 Pleasants Valley Road.

“He’s got a great facility there,” said Vance Mason of Vacaville, whose family traces its ranching heritage in Solano back to 1862. “He does a lot with kids. It is very well set up . . . . It’s just a great facility.”

Mason also noted that the facility is “fire safe,” and defended well against the LNU Lightning Complex Fire so it is a good place for animals to be kept.

Rusty Milliken, son

of Joetta Griffin and a part-owner who lives on the site, attended to answer any questions.

The commission asked about entering and leaving the facility and was assured,

by Commissioner Kay Cayler, that the gate area into the property is well designed. Traffic also was deemed by county staff not to be a significant impact.

Noise was also a topic that was raised by the commission. In addition to the county conditions placed on the project, the site’s location among hills that separate the ranch from some of

its neighbors was described as if keeping “noise in a box.”

The proposal is for horse shows to be held each Saturday from January to May and on Saturdays in September and October, a total of 32 shows that are expected to draw as many as 150 people to each event.

“Horse show events would take place in the existing (14,000-square-foot indoor) arena . . . .

Certain participants would stay in the travel trailers or camp on site during the event weekend,” the staff report to the commission states. Additional parking that exceeds county requirements is included in the plan.

The project was flagged by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife Service for possible impacts on the habitats of endangered or threatened species such as the Swainson’s hawk, burrowing owl and white-tailed kite, as well as for other riparian and environmen-

The commission adopted a mitigated negative declaration and a monitoring plan as part of the project.

“All mitigation measures, including the monitoring responsibilities, have been incorporated into the project as recommended conditions of approval and in the mitigation moni-

toring plan. Specific conditions have been included by each division and by the specific agencies responsible for their implementation,” the staff report states.

The additional buildings include a 12,000-square-foot covered riding corral and nine outdoor stalls to be used during the shows in the main arena. Three equipment storage buildings, averaging 1,067 square feet each, and one 800-square-foot trailer or manufactured home to be used as an employee living quarters are part of the plan as well.

The facility received its original county permit in 2010.

“Land use types permitted for the subject property included horse boarding for 81 horses, breeding, riding lessons, horse day camp and agricultural education classes,” the staff report states.

An on-site well provides the water supply and wastewater is treated by an on-site septic system.

Fairfield Inn: Construction of the 72room hotel has been delayed by years, but current indicators are that if construction remains on track the hotel at Matsumoto Lane and I-505 could open in May. Downtown Visioning Project: The City of Winters has issued a Request for Pro-

posal (RFP) for the Downtown Visioning Project. Thus far, two proposals have been received. The city is working on policy development to address such matters as parking, dumpster placement, promotion of indoor/outdoor dining and more.

Information on city projects is available on the City of Winters website projects page at http://www.cityofwinters.org/.

The next City and County 2x2 meeting is scheduled for April 20 at 4 p.m.

TURE Program voluntary registry.

Miller said signing up for the CAPTURE program provides Winters PD with a confidential registry of privately owned security cameras which assists Winters PD officers and detectives in locating and contacting residents and business owners in the vicinity of where a crime occurred that may have video of the event or associated vehicles or persons.

“It’s important to note it does not give us access info in any way to the cameras, and the information is secure at the Police Department,” Miller said.

Miller said video has proven to be one of the most effective methods for apprehending and convicting subjects who commit crimes of all kinds.

Residents who have video security cameras are encouraged to register their loca-

tion and capabilities of their cameras with Winters PD. For more information on the CAPTURE Program, or to register a security cameras visit http:// www.winterspolice. org/capture/.

Miller stressed the importance of knowing your neighbors and to call in any suspicious activity to Winters PD. “The base behind a neighborhood watch is neighbors looking out for neighbors,” Miller said. “It’s not turning a blind eye.

Call in if you see anything.”

Residents should report suspicious activity, that isn’t an emergency situation, to the Winters PD 24hour dispatch center at 530-795-4561.

assist by volunteering labor and material donations. Rotary President Gar House echoed Fridae’s offer of Rotary Club support.

John Pickerel, owner of the Buckhorn Steakhouse, called the proposed park a “charmed asset” that will enhance walkability and real estate values in the downtown area.

“I throw my support 100 percent behind this and offer any help you might decide I can be of,” Pickerel said.

Community member Kate Laddish posed a question of process and inquired if the city would be locked into a name and design if council were to pass the resolution. She hoped

there would be additional opportunities for public discussions around naming the park, the park’s design and features it may offer.

Trepa responded to Laddish’s concern noting the concept had been presented at two past public meetings and that the grant application was written to include as much leeway as possible. She said naming the park was not part of the application and added that the park’s final plan

must still go before the Planning Commission.

The vision to develop the park includes building an outdoor covered stage for live performances and use as an art classroom, connecting water and electricity, design of a low water use garden, planting trees and overall creating an artist park.

Council unanimously approved the resolution and voiced their strong support and desire to get the project completed.

• Make sure your vehicle doors are locked.

• Do not leave the keys in the vehicle.

• Invest in a toolbox with a lock if you keep tools in the back of your vehicle.

• Engrave your tools with something unique: a phone number, name, email address, etc.

• Invest in security cameras for your home and be aware of other homes with security cameras in your neighborhood.

If the RRT grant is approved there would be funding available to build out the currently envisioned park.

Whitworth was credited by council and members of the public for her considerable efforts in moving the project forward.

Community member Woody Fridae congratulated Whitworth, adding that the Winters Rotary Club is standing by to

Winters Express, Wednesday, January 26, 2022 — A7

Los comisionados Senior quieren educar sobre el programa SNAP Por Crystal Apilado Traducido por Carol Alfonso Los comisionados Senior discutieron la importancia de educar a la comunidad de adultos mayores de Winters sobre la importancia y el valor del programa SNAP del Departamento de Policía de Winters en su reunión del Miércoles pasado.

En las actualizaciones del subcomité, la Comisión de Envejecimiento para Personas Mayores de Winters habló sobre las formas de compartir información con los miembros de la comunidad y cómo ayudar a que los adultos mayores completen el formulario del programa.

El programa SNAP (Programa de Alerta de Necesidades Especiales) de la Ciudad de Winters ayuda a los socorristas (tanto el Departamento de Policía de Winters como el Departamento de Bomberos de Winters) informándoles sobre cualquier comunicación especial o necesidades de atención médica cuando responden a emergencias que involucran a residentes que están inscritos en el programa. SNAP ayuda a los socorristas en la escena a identificar a las personas que no pueden identificarse debido a una discapacidad o afección, como el Alzheimer o la demencia, el autismo u otro trastorno sensorial o del habla.

La información ayuda al personal policial y de bomberos a estar al tanto de las adaptaciones que pueden necesitar hacer al interactuar con el individuo. La información es vista por la Agencia de

Comunicaciones de Emergencia de Yolo, quien luego informa a los primeros en responder de Winters que son enviados.

Cualquier residente de la Ciudad de Winters (niño o adulto) que tenga una necesidad especial es elegible para registrarse en el programa SNAP. El programa es gratuito y las personas y los cuidadores pueden inscribirse completando un formulario (Inglés o Español) disponible en el vestíbulo del Departamento de Policía de Winters, el Ayuntamiento de Winters o el Centro Comunitario de Winters. Los formularios completados deben entregarse en la recepción del Departamento de Policía de Winters. El registro SNAP está activo por un año.

Los residentes también pueden descargar el formulario del sitio web del Departamento de Policía de Winters, www.winterspolice.org. El jefe de policía John P. Miller dijo que pueden acomodar a cualquier persona que viva en el área de Winters, Condado Yolo. Los residentes que viven en el área de Winters, Condado Solano deben registrarse en el programa del Condado Solano. Las preguntas o inquietudes sobre el programa SNAP se pueden enviar por correo electrónico a SNAP@cityofwinters.org.

La comisionada Marianne Boyer dijo que algunos miembros de la comunidad de adultos mayores estaban preocupados por compartir su información médica personal. En una presentación sobre el programa SNAP

en Septiembre, Gail Jiménez, coordinadora administrativa del Departamento de Policía de Winters (WPD), dijo que los formularios no solicitan información médica específica.

En cambio, pregunta qué tipos de adaptaciones médicas necesita el afiliado, incluida una foto y una descripción física del individuo.

La comisionada Tina Lowden dijo que la información disponible para los socorristas a través del programa SNAP es vital y debe haber más educación pública sobre el programa.

La comisionada Cheryl Sandoval dijo que el programa fue muy útil para su familia cuando estaba ayudando a cuidar a su padre. Sandoval sugirió que la Comisión para personas mayores ayude a distribuir los formularios SNAP cuando trabajen para distribuir su Guía de recursos para personas mayores.

Miller confirmó al Winters Express que el Condado Yolo había descontinuado el programa Vitals. El fiscal de distrito del Condado Yolo, Jeff Resig, ofreció la aplicación Vitals a todos los socorristas y agencias de aplicación de la ley del condado en Septiembre de 2021.

Sin embargo, debido a la falta de participación en el programa, se suspendió. Vitals utilizó una baliza con información para recibir actualizaciones importantes cuando estaban dentro de un número específico de alimentación de un individuo. El programa requería una suscripción mensual para usarlo.

For Your Valentine!

Se reanuda el calendario de pruebas comunitarias de COVID Por Crystal Apilado Traducido por Carol Alfonso En medio de un aumento de casos de COVID la semana pasada, la oportunidad de realizar pruebas en la comunidad se enfrentó a desafíos de personal y cerró varias ubicaciones.

En una nueva asociación con Covid Clinic, el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Winters comenzó a ofrecer pruebas rápidas de antígenos a estudiantes, familias, personal y miembros de la comunidad en Winters.

Las pruebas para los estudiantes y el personal están disponibles en cada una de las escuelas en: Lunes: Escuela Primaria Waggoner de 8:30–11:30 a.m. y Escuela Media de Winters de 12:30–3:30 p.m.

Miércoles: Escuela Intermedia Shirley Rominger de 8:45 a 11:30 a. m. y Escuela Secundaria Winters de 12:30 p. m. a 3:30 p. m.

Las pruebas para estudiantes y personal también están disponibles en el edificio de oficinas del Distrito

Escolar Unificado de Winters (Winters JUSD) de Lunes a Viernes de 8:30–11:30 a. m. y nuevamente del mediodía hasta las 3 p. m. Las pruebas realizadas para los estudiantes son las pruebas rápidas.

Las dos ubicaciones disponibles para las pruebas de los miembros de la comunidad son: Oficina de Winters JUSD (909 W Grant Ave.): Lunes, Miércoles, Viernes de 1–3 p.m Biblioteca Comunitaria de Winters (708 Railroad Ave.): Martes, Jueves 1–6:30 p. m.

Los residentes que asistan durante las pruebas comunitarias deberían poder elegir entre usar un hisopo nasal o una muestra de saliva.

Jenny Pinedo, Directora de Educación Especial y Servicios Estudiantiles, dijo que aquellos que

soliciten la prueba basada en saliva no deben haber comido ni bebido nada dentro de los 30 minutos posteriores a la prueba.

Hay dos enlaces separados para registrarse en función de si la persona es miembro de la comunidad o un estudiante, familia o miembro del personal de Winters JUSD. Se pueden encontrar en el sitio web de Winters JUSD en la página de pruebas de COVID-19. También hay disponibles códigos QR para escanear fácilmente desde un teléfono inteligente o dispositivo.

Los estudiantes, las familias y el personal deben registrarse en https://school. covidclinic.org/.

Los miembros de la comunidad deben registrarse en https:// www.covidclinic.org/ winters-joint-unified-school-district/.

First Northern Bank has been declared Winters’ 2020 business of the year. Acting as a fiscal shield, the big white building at 48 Main St. helped businesses weather through the pandemic storm.

Since the 1970’s, First Northern has handled the financial needs of the community and its businesses. When those financial needs were amplified by the pandemic, the bank stepped up to keep Winters’ businesses in business with the Paycheck Protection Program.

“When COVID hit, it was a difficult time. Nobody knew what was going on and the government rolled out the Paycheck Protection Program. I really think it was like building an airplane in flight because we’d never done anything like that before,” said First Northern President and CEO Louise Walker. “People’s businesses were shut down and through (it) all, the bank stayed open to make sure businesses impacted were helped and be able to apply for PPP funds. So, our hats are off to the frontline in Winters and the employees that know their customers by first name.”

In 2020 alone, the bank handed out 136 loans and $17.7 million into the community. Its mission states they increase shareholder value by employing the best people who ex-

“It was a bank-wide effort and we’re very proud of what we were able to do to help clients and customers at a time (when) there was so much uncertainty,” Walker lauded the Winters staff. “Patricia and Linda helped process applications. Karianne raised her hand when we needed volunteer employees coming to the operations center to process other things. It was great because she knew a lot of customers calling in.”

While many other banks opted for automation to process PPP applications, First Northern’s tactics were a little more traditional and ultimately more effective.

“A lot of banks were trying to use an automated system for the first time and we decided to process applications manually. So, we did that for the first round of PPP, then automated the second round,” Walker said about how the ‘old fashioned way’ helped find new clients. “We’d have customers from other banks reaching out to us because their automated systems weren’t working and we were able to pick up quite a bit of business from just that.”

“It was just a crazy time. We were working around the clock in a matter of days put together a team that stepped up and took control of the situation,” added Vice President and Corporate Secretary Devon Camara-Soucy. “We’d also get lunches and donuts and flowers saying, ‘thank you for making a difference in our lives.’”

Walker praised the Winters branch staff, thanking Linda Barbosa, Jack Vickrey, Patricia Franco, Karianne Padilla, Patty Ayala, Elizabeth Hernandez, Pam Aguilera, Tim Klehn and Jessica Kilkenny for their above-and-beyond efforts throughout the pandemic.

With selflessness such as this, in a time such as this, it’s no wonder First Northern Ban is the 2020 Business of the Year.

Winters Healthcare hailed as 2021 winner

By Aaron Geerts Express staff writer The Winters Healthcare Foundation has been dubbed the 2021 Business of the Year.

With so many other great businesses in town, Winters Healthcare stood out with its exhaustive, aroundthe-clock efforts to keep the town safe in a year plagued with COVID calamities.

Beginning as a nonprofit in 2000, Winters Healthcare officially became a federally qualified health center in 2005. Since then, this community-centric business has been on a mission to provide compassionate care, improve lives and inspire health.

Since March of 2020, however, Winters Healthcare’s mission has seemed more like Mission: Impossible.

“If you don’t get Business of the Year in a pandemic, something’s going wrong,” Executive Director Chris Kelsch joked about their efforts that secured Winters Healthcare as Business of the Year. “We started doing community vaccinations, contacting local businesses, then the mass vaccinations that hap-

Of course, one could argue that providing care for the community is the purpose of a healthcare center, and the efforts of its staff are simply part of the job. Be that asit may, one’s job usually doesn’t require fighting against a pan-

demic for two years straight in literal, allhands-on-deck efforts to vaccinate and/or test an entire town.

“Our organization is really just people serving people. We have a young staff, [and] an experienced staff and the pandemic just got handed to us. The staff jumped in and said, ‘we’re owning this, and this is how we’ll make a difference.’” Kelsch said praising his staff, quelling any notion of Winters Healthcare settling for bare minimum efforts. “They were doing this while dealing with the pandemic in their own lives. I’m just appreciative and honored by the staff. It was a group effort and everybody was playing a part.”

By “everybody,” Kelsch is referring

to everyone from the dental staff to behavioral experts and administrative staff.

Everybody at Winters Healthcare pitched in on vaccination clinic and testing days.

To Kelsch, perhaps the most memorable aspect of such a health-horrid year was the love and support his team received not just from the citizens, but other businesses as well.

“When we decided to do the community vaccination at St. Anthony’s, we didn’t ask for help, but other businesses from Turkovich Wines to Buckhorn said ‘Hey, we’re going to help bring food and wine for your volunteers after the clinic,'” Kelsch lauded the help from fellow businesses.

“People would roll down their windows and have signs that said, ‘thank you.’ They would tell us we gave them peace of mind and that’s so rewarding knowing we’ve made a difference.”

Now in 2022, Winters Healthcare will continue their healthcare journey by opening a pharmacy in their location sometime in February or March. The journey won’t stop there, as a new healthcare site will open in the Capay Valley.

After such a difficult year, Winters Healthcare proved they mirror the I-gotyour-back mentality that Winters neighbors share with one another.

Rent-to-own agreements

Rent-to-own agreements are where the buyer agrees to rent a home for a certain amount of time with the option to buy it before the lease expires, Investopedia says.

They consist of two

parts: The standard lease agreement and the option to buy.

The buyer may also be required to pay the seller a one-time, usually non refundable fee called the option fee, option money or option consideration.

This fee gives you the option to buy the house at some date in the future and usually ranges between 1 percent and 5 percent of the purchase price.

If your New Year’s resolution is to buy or sell your home I can help.

Lease-option contracts give you the right but not the obligation to buy the home when the lease expires. If, when the lease is up, you decide not to purchase, the option just expires

rent to be higher than the going rate for your area to make up for the rent credit you receive. The option money may also be applied to the eventual purchase price.

Read your agreement thoroughly so that you understand what your obligations are.

Home Maintenance and you can walk away from the property.

With a lease-purchase agreement, you could be legally obligated to buy the home at the end of the lease, whether you can afford it at not. Investopedia recommends having a qualified real estate attorney review any agreement before you sign it.

COMING SOON: 20 acre parcel in Winters with incredible views CALL JEAN FOR MORE INFORMATION. “Committed to building strong client relationships based on trust, respect and hard work.”

Your agreement should also stipulate who is responsible for maintaining the property during the term of your agreement.

Sellers may choose to cover costs they would generally be responsible for, Investopedia says, such as homeowners association fees, taxes and insurance. Sellers should get a renter’s insurance policy of their own and also make sure they know what maintenance and repair requirements are their responsibility. Some jobs that may be the buyer’s responsibility may include mowing the lawn, cleaning gutters and more.

Make sure any agreement specifies when and how the home’s purchase price is determined.

The buyer and seller may agree on a price when the agreement is signed or the price may be determined when the lease expires. Some buyers may prefer to lock in a purchase price, especially in areas where the market is particularly hot.

During the lease term, you’ll pay rent to a landlord. Your agreement will stipulate whether any of that applies to the eventual purchase price. If the rent does apply, look for that

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 833-561-0243 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site WWW.SALES.BDFGROUP.COM for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000008561920. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder", you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 833561-0243, or visit this internet website WWW.SALES.BDFGROUP.COM using the file number assigned to this case 00000008561920 to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Sophomore Mikenzie Hapworth-Eldridge blocked the two shots Colusa was able to take.

Soccer teams knock in the goals

By Sydney Andrade Express staff writer

Men’s soccer On Tuesday, Jan. 18, the Winters High School varsity men’s soccer team won their home conference game against Colusa High School by a score of 4-1.

Salvador Torres, Noel Gutierrez, Luis Lara and Leonardo Lopez played a great offensive game, breaking through Colusa’s defense and each scoring a goal for the Warriors off assists, from Christian Hernandez, Javier Bermudez, Gutierrez and Sebastian Rodriguez.

While every player was putting an immense amount of effort into the game, Gutierrez and Pedro Garcia were continuously putting pressure on the RedHawks by taking advantage of every opportunity to take a shot at the goal.

In addition to an assist on goal, Rodriguez led the Warriors defensively with four steals, and did an excellent job at getting the ball up field.

Hernandez, Erick Rodarte, Jacob Baker and Javier Bermudez also played a great defensive game with three steals each.

The Warriors played a great game and took that momentum into their second game of the week, as they faced the Los Molinos High School Bulldogs.

On Thursday, Jan. 20 the Winters varsity soccer team won their away conference game against Los Molinos by a score of 3-0.

Pedro Garcia, Atanacio Garcia and Lara each scored one

Pedro Garcia steals the ball from a Colusa defender. goal off assists from Hernandez, Rodriguez and Jacob Baker.

While Salvador and Noel didn’t score during the game against the Bulldogs, they played a significant role in the games outcome. They both gained and kept possession of the ball consistently throughout the entire game and took shots at the goal whenever they could.

Hernandez once again played an amazing defensive game with five steals, while Rodarte, Eric Reyes, Atanacio Garcia, Pedro Garcia and Bermudez had four.

Between the Warriors strong defense and the saves in goal

by Lara and Jancarlo Torres the men’s varsity soccer team was able to execute another shut out.

Women’s soccer On Tuesday, Jan. 18, the WHS women’s varsity soccer team dominated their home con-

ference game against Colusa by a score of 8-0.

McKenna Carrion-Clifford scored two goals for the Warriors, followed by Yarethzy Sanchez, Anahi Garcia, Anahi Gutierrez, Alondra Molina, Ava Skinner and Joanna Cuevas who each scored one. These goals were assisted

by Sanchez, Anahi, Molina and Samantha Ramirez.

In addition to assisting the Warriors in two goals, Ramirez put continuous pressure on the RedHawks taking multiple shots at the goal, four corner kicks and three steals.

Anahi, Cuevas and Ruby Campos also played excellent defensive games. Anahi led the Warriors with five steals while Cuevas and Campos each had four goals.

The two shots Colusa was able to take were blocked by sophomore Mikenzie Hapworth-Eldridge.

The Winters High School Warriors returned to the hardwood last week for more vigorous competition between the baselines.

Tipping things off last Tuesday, Jan. 18 were the junior varsity women as they played host to familiar foe, Pierce High School. The Bears proved ferocious as ever, however, and left with a 39-13 victory over the Warriors.

Next on the schedule was a game against Durham High School on Jan. 21.

Unfortunately, the Trojans’ offense and defense were in full force as they handed the junior varsity squad a 39-9 loss.

“I see evidence of improvement in our offensive and defensive rebounding,” said head coach Tom Crisp. “In our game against Durham on Friday we were almost back to full roster strength. We still struggle to make our shots but there were some nice passing plays.”

The junior varsity men also matched up against Pierce on Jan. 18, but to no avail as the Bears would snag an emphatic 61-25 victory.

Undeterred, the junior varsity men’s team laced up against Dixon High School the following day. Going into the game with a short roster, the Rams hit

Julia R. Millon Memorial Scholarship applications are due March 11.

the Warriors with a 56-24 loss.

Varsity The varsity women took to the court as well, taking on the pesky Pierce Bears.

The Warrior-rivals’ offense was firing on all cylinders, unfortunately, and won 62-38.

Next on the docket were the Durham Trojans. It would prove to be another tough game as the hosts would send the Warriors home with a 42-19 loss.

“I was proud of the team and really proud of Jordan and Emily for working so hard on defense against Pierce. We lost, but took a huge step in learning how to play a complete game,” said head coach Jeff Christian.

“My team always plays hard and is learning how to play harder and more aggressive and competitive. We keep getting better and are always better together!”

The varsity men also hit the road and took on the Pierce Bears on Jan. 18. The hosts were none-toogracious in the game and snared a 61-33 victory over the Warriors.

The following day, the Warriors tried their luck on the road against Dixon where the Rams would trample the varsity squad 73-38.

The Warriors would close out their week of competition playing host to Durham. In another tough game, the War-

“I was proud of the team and really proud of Jordan and Emily for working so hard on defense against Pierce.

We lost, but took a huge step in learning how to play a complete game. My team always plays hard and is learning how to play harder and more aggressive and competitive.

We keep getting better and are always better together!”

Jeff Christian, head coach riors would lose to the Trojans 58-36.

“In none of these games did we had a full roster available and only had one sub against Dixon.

But if you were in the stands for the games, I think you’d see a team that competes until the very end and is always a threat to make a run because we play well as a unit,” said head coach Brendan McShea. “We have six games remaining and I’m confident that we’ll be playing our best basketball at the end of the season.”

PISANI’S ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Samantha Rameriz

KS Winters Photography

Samantha Rameriz, a sophomore on the Winters High School varsity soccer team, is the Pisani’s Athlete of the Week.

“Samantha started out the second half of the Pierce game on fire. She scored a hat trick in four minutes and 13 seconds. That’s the fastest I’ve ever seen three goals scored by one player,” said head coach Kim Olivas. “She is a fierce competitor who has no ‘off button.’ Sammy is a force on the field and very valuable to the team as she can and will play every position on the field with the exception of goalkeeper.”

Express Yourself Football is worth watching, again

hen the San Francisco 49ers — who play in Santa Clara County — reached the playoffs, I decided that I would bet that they could beat the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys were favored to win, but the ’9ers had beat them earlier in the season and I thought it was a good idea.

We’ve all seen the commercials about betting online, so I sat down and answered all of their questions and opened an account. I was a little nervous about giving out my credit card number for a deposit, but I did it anyway.

After setting up my account, I tried to bet on the 49ers. It asked for my location and then told me that I couldn’t bet online because I live in California and they would refund my deposit.

It was disappointing, but I figured that it probably saved me a few dollars not being able to bet online. I checked my credit card balance and they did refund my deposit. Then the 9ers beat the Cowboys, and then they beat the Green Bay Packers. Not that I’m counting the money that I didn’t win, but it would have been nice to brag about my newfound ability to pick winners.

Why can’t Californians bet on sporting events online? I’m sure there are lots of reasons why gambling is bad for you, but the State of California runs a raffle each week, called

the lottery. There are tribal casinos all over the place, with a new one going in on Highway 99 by Elk Grove.

Walk into any bar in California and ask if they have a World Series pool and they will hand you a sheet of squares and tell you how much each square costs. I think that is called gambling.

If you are a hardcore gambler, you probably know a bookie who will take your money and pay you when you win.

When I was younger, we would drive over the mountains to Reno or Lake Tahoe and place our bets at a Nevada Casino.

If we won, we would have to make a return trip, but even when we won, I rarely made it out of the casino with my winnings.

Even the tribal casinos don’t have a sports book, but maybe that is in their plans. Keep the online sports betting illegal and legalize

sports betting at tribal casinos. I’m sure someone in Sacramento will be paid to carry such a bill.

Why not make sports gambling in California legitimate like most states? I don’t mind regulated gambling. I want to make sure whoever is running the game has enough assets to pay the winners.

There is also a part of me that agrees that gambling is bad for you and keeping it illegal is a benefit to society. The libertarian in me thinks that people should have the right to spend their money on anything they want, whether that is alcohol, drugs, ice cream, hamburgers or gaming.

If anyone wants to bet a dollar on the Rams this week, let me know, but remember, the Rams are favored by 3.5 points. I hope that isn’t illegal to print in a family newspaper in California.

Go ’9ers.

Thank you for the overwhelming love and support that we have received from each of you. Our bakery holds many dear memories for all of us, and we are so happy to have been able to be a part of them.

We have been so blessed to be a part of such a warm and caring community.

Winters is our forever home and we will never leave this beautiful town. We are grateful for the strong bond that we feel for Winters and all it's wonderful people. We are thankful for the friendships that we share with each of you.

We are very excited to embark upon the new journey of retirement. We have a long list of places to travel to and projects to complete.

We are not saying good-bye, we are just saying that we will see you around!
