Trustees consider upcoming housing projects in area redistricting maps
Youth Day committee seeking volunteers to plan event By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief The Winters Youth Day committee is looking for community members to step up to help plan the 2022 event. Winters Youth Day was originally founded in 1933 to teach young people the aspects of city government. It has since grown into popular event hosted annually to celebrate youth with a parade down Main Street and activities at the City Park. The coronavirus pandemic caused the committee to make the decision to cancel the event in both 2020 and 2021. Now, the committee is hopeful that Winters Youth Day will make its return on April 30, 2022. However, without more volunteers to help plan the events the 2022 celebration may fizzle. Carol McMasters-Stone, Winters Youth Day committee treasurer, said they don’t have enough
volunteers to hold the event. Ideally, they have a few people to help plan the different activities including the Main Street parade, and official chairpersons to coordinate the Duck Derby and City Park vendors and activities. “If we don’t get enough help we are hoping to at least have the parade, but that may be all we can do,” said McMasters-Stone. McMasters-Stone said they also are in need of additional volunteers for the big events on April 29 and April 30 to help with set up, clean up, and more. The Winters Youth Day committee is currently meeting once a month via Zoom. But come March, meetings will bump up to twice a month, and then every week in April. McMasters-Stone said they do their best to schedule the meetings to accommodate everyone who is volunteering and plan-

ning events. In a letter to the community, McMasters-Stone said many of the current committee members have been serving for more than 10 years. She noted that long-time Youth Day volunteer Mike Sebastian has attempted to retire from the committee twice, but is back again this year in hopes of bringing the event back in person. McMasters-Stone said that they are in need of new volunteers with new ideas to help keep the Winters Youth Day event going. Community members who are interested in volunteering, who have questions, or who would like to attend the month meetings should send an email to wintersyouthday@ gmail.com for more information. More information about Winters Youth Day can be found on the Youth Day website at https://www. wintersyouthday. com/.
By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief The Winters Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees were presented with a fourth Trustee area redistricting map option at the Jan. 20 school board meeting. As counties are currently reviewing area maps, so too are school boards as they look at any potential changes from the 2020 Census data. Previously, David A. Soldani from the law firm Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo (AALRR) and Carolyn Scholl from Cooperative Strategies had presented
the results of their evaluation of the Census data from 2010 to 2020 on Nov. 18 Scholl presented that the current Winters JUSD voting areas (Trustee Areas) reflected an overall population growth of 569 (6.5 percent) and that the total overall variance difference of 22.8 percent put them out of compliance with the allowed 10 percent. In 2010, the overall variance had been 6.8 percent. The largest population of growth specifically was seen in Trustee Areas Four and Five. The amount is determined by subtracting the population of the
Trustee Area with the lowest density (1,695) from the Trustee Area with the highest density (2,121), and dividing the resulting number by the ideal Trustee Area population number (1,866). “The initial snapshot tells us that we are going to have to make some changes and shuffle some things around too. Frankly, I’d like to see a single digit,” Soldani said. “That’s the headline, that we are going to have to make an adjusted map.” Scholl also presented demographic data that showed the

Agency approves groundwater sustainability plan By Rick von Geldern Express staff writer
EXPRESS
The Yolo Subbasin Groundwater Agency (YSGA) met on Jan. 24 for a special public hearing and adopted the 378-page draft of the Yolo Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan, (PLAN) and submitted it to the California Department of Water Resources by the statutory Jan. 31 deadline. The 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) mandates
local groundwater sustainability agencies develop and implement Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs) in high and medium priority groundwater basins. With an emphasis on local management, the Act established requirements to protect groundwater resources. “The Yolo Subbasin appears to have a robust groundwater system that has recovered quickly after various periods of dry and critical WYs (water years), including single and multiyears,” the Plan noted. The Plan calls for monitoring and documenting groundwater conditions to
establish management standards and to identify courses of actions to achieve and maintain sustainable groundwater management by 2042. It also establishes goals, thresholds, and measurable objectives to achieve 20-year goals through project development and action. Development of the Plan began in 2017 and included public meetings, workshops and 280 comments were received as the Plan was established. “The Yolo Subbasin is a relatively stable basin, with groundwater levels maintaining a relatively consistent

February recognizes older adult independence By Wally Pearce Special to the Express It’s fitting that senior independence is celebrated during the month of February. A winter month that tests the fortitude of most people between the shortened days and unpredictable weather. But the commitment to protecting and defending the rights of our mature neighbors is an annual calling. February is National Senior Independence Month giving communities an opportunity to share ideas that can help the older adults in our lives maintain their independence while calling out the great work our local senior centers and retirement organizations are doing. The choice of February was first established to not only help senior citizens maintain control over their own decisions, but to encourage them to look at their living situation and decide if they need to make changes to improve their quality of life and is also a good time to prepare our loved ones to age well. For most seniors, continuing to live at home is a key part of their independence. That’s why it’s crucial to equip our loved ones’ so they’re safe and able to perform tasks on their own.
Install an up to date security system, nonslip floor mats, organize a living area so all items are accessible, and maintain a well-lit environment to help prevent falls. Ensure that senior citizens have proper access to working telephones, both portable and fixed, so each system can be easily and quickly accessible during any emergency. Program in emergency phone numbers as well. Maintaining a healthy mind and body is important for preserving independence and pride. Be sure loved ones get regular exercise, take walks (when possible), and eat well. Seniors can keep their minds sharp by developing a new skill, participating in a new activity, or learning how to use a new technology. Aging doesn’t mean it’s time to count fewer freedoms and let go of an independent lifestyle. National Senior Independence Month is a time to encourage seniors to prioritize their own individual needs to reach goals for health and happiness. Senior citizen’s need to ensure their living space is properly maintained and If their living space includes a yard or even an outdoor entrance, a properly placed security device can detect any nearby gesture
and motion light sensors can help identify, as well as fend off, any unwanted persons. Functioning cellphones and tablets also contribute to a senior’s safety. In addition to allowing seniors to contact people/services immediately, cellphones offer built-in flashlights and emergency contact apps make a call for help quick/easy. They can also serve as location devices and, of course, provide maps and navigation. Cleaning and organizing can have great positive impact on a person’s physical and mental health. People should try to declutter in January at the start of the year. Another added benefit of decluttering is the ability to move without fear of tripping and falling. Clearing walkways and rearranging furniture are wonderful ways to ensure safety and comfort. Properly installed grab bars in a senior’s bathroom can aid in impaired movement and avert falls. Grab bars are designed to enable a person to maintain balance, lessen fatigue while standing, hold some of their weight while maneuvering, or have something to grab onto in case of a slip or fall. If your residence has stairs, check the banisters to make sure they are safe. If you have dark hall-
ways or dark closets, install motion sensor stick-on lights that might help to solve the problem. If you have any other suggestions for seniors living an active, independent lifestyle, please share these tips with them. Most importantly, call and visit the older adults in your life often. Seniors who’re active are healthier, so develop a dependable routine of contact. Stop by in the mornings or call after dinner. If they no longer drive, take them where they may need to go, such as a medical appointment, grocery shopping, or just a leisurely ride out into the community, maybe to visit a friend. And when possible, help older adults volunteer in their community. Volunteering can help in an active social life. It’s time to give back to those seniors who set us up for our success — or those who became our friends. This February, the Winters Elder Day Council encourages everyone to celebrate National Senior Independence Month by making positive life changes that helps older adults remain independent. To live a liberated lifestyle with dignity is important to all older adults, and it’s key to families and community.
Yolo Basin Foundation hosting vernal pool tours, school programs this March Yolo Basin Foundation Special to the Express Vernal pools are seasonal wetlands that can fill with water during winter and spring rains. As the water slowly evaporates from these shallow depressions in the land, rings of endemic and rare flowers grow around the depressions out of the clay packed soils below. They are home to a variety of rare and endemic animals that are threatened and endangered. Very few vernal pool habitats exist in California today, and they are a
natural treasure that Federal laws and the community help to protect. Yolo Basin Foundation is excited to continue bringing vernal pool programs to the community in partnership with Yolo County Parks and funded by a California Department of Parks and Recreation Habitat Conservation Fund grant. Throughout April and May, Yolo Basin Foundation is offering vernal pool field trips for students through our Discover the Flyway school program, and tours with vernal pool experts for the community. The Yolo Basin Foundation’s Discover the Flyway school program brings the vernal pools into the classroom both virtually and in person. The Critter Caper STEAM student activity focuses on vernal
pool natural history and science as well as a closer look at a specific species, either vernal pool tadpole shrimp or fairy shrimp. The activity adapted for kindergarten through 12th grade students. Both virtual and field trip based vernal pool programs are free to schools and have availability. Teachers can register online at www.yolobasin.org/schoolprograms/. The foundation will host tours of the restored vernal pool habitats at Grasslands Regional Park. The community can explore these crucial habitats with Yolo Basin Foundation staff and volunteers through a small group tour experience. These areas are protected and off limits to the public due to multiple plants and animals present re-

taining endangered or threatened status. They can discover how vernal pools are naturally created and restored, and look closely at amazing wildflowers and small creatures that call the vernal pools home. Registration is free, required, and limited to 20 people per tour. The dates and times are as follows: 4 p.m.–5 p.m. on March 13, March 26, April 3, April 10, April 16, April 17, April 24 and May 8.

2022 class raising funds through un-fundraiser By Rylie Schroeder and Emily Aguiar Special to the Express The Winters High School Class of 2022 is looking forward to their final semester of high school and wherever their next road may lead. In the meantime, they are reaching out to the community to raise funds to go toward their prom and senior trip events. Due to the coronavirus pandemic causing disruption to school and activities during their sophomore, junior and senior years, they have been unable to fundraise for the biggest end-of-the-year activities — their prom and senior trip. Class of 2022 students
and their families are reaching out to the community and asking for donations through an “un-fundraiser” effort. While most fundraisers require individuals to sell something, the point of an un-fundraiser is to collect amounts of money with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting the cause. In a letter to the community they noted that if every senior class member can get $20 donated, they will have raised $2,000 for the senior class. Copies of the letter are available at the WHS office or through any Class of 2022 student. Checks can be made payable to “Winters High School” with
“Class of 2022” in the memo blank. Checks can be dropped off at the WHS office or mailed to Winters High School, 101 Grant Ave., Winters, 95694. Cash donations are being accepted during school hours in a drop box in room B5 on the WHS campus. The Class of 2022 is asking for the bottom portion of the un-fundraiser letter to be returned with donations by Friday, Feb. 18.
Winters Parent Nursery School is partnering with eight other regional parent participation preschools, members of the California Council of Parent Participation Nursery Schools (CCPPNS), to host the 73rd annual CCPPNS 2022 Early Childhood Convention on Saturday, March 5 at the Hotel Winters in Winters. This hybrid event will be held both in-person and virtually to provide an opportunity for attendees from across the state to attend and engage with each other and the featured speakers. The theme for this year’s convention is Play to Grow: Engaging in Acts of Care. The convention committee felt that after the stresses and challenges of the past two years it was time to consider “care” of self and family. “Both parents and educators have really been through an experience like never before. We wanted to make sure that we brought forth ideas and topics that were both relatable and of value to everyone attending,” said Crystal Apilado, convention chair. The featured

While groundwater levels decline during dry conditions due to reduced recharge from precipitation, local runoff, and seepage, and continued reliance on groundwater for agricultural and municipal demands, groundwater levels substantially recover during wet years,” the Plan states. As available science and methods become available the Plan will be updated to conduct surveys to make advancements that will render best management decisions. YSGA Executive Director Kristin Sicke said in an email, “The California Department of Water Resources requires fiveyear updates to the GSP; this document is considered a living document that will be revised and updated as we thoughtfully, responsibly, and adaptively manage the Yolo Subbasin.” “Water resource

managers have historically practiced conjunctive use management in the Yolo Subbasin – relying on surface water supplies in wet years and groundwater supplies in dry years. However, responsive short-term and long-term management is necessary to mitigate impacts and ensure overdraft does not occur,” the Plan states. The Yolo Subbasin covers 400 square miles and is nearly 24 miles wide and 45
miles long. Six management areas have been established in Yolo County for management in the Subbasin because each area is distinctive in either its level of groundwater use, land uses or access to surface waters. The City of Winters is a groundwater dependent city and one of the YSBA’s 26 members. Groundwater is found at varying depths beneath the earth’s surface. It moves slowly by gravity and pressure through geologic formations of rocks, sand and soil into aquifers. An aquifer is an underground area of permeable and porous rock, such as sandstone. Accessing groundwater from aquifers for municipal and farming uses require wells to be drilled to appropriate depths and pumping water to the surface. According to the Plan, criteria and thresholds for sustainability goals for the Yolo Subbasin include: • Achieve sustainable groundwater
management in the Yolo Subbasin by maintaining or enhancing groundwater quantity and quality through the implementation of projects and management actions to support beneficial uses and users. • Maintain surface water flows and quality to support conjunctive use programs in the Subbasin that promote increased groundwater levels and improved water quality. • Operate within the established sustainable management criteria and maintain sustainable groundwater use through continued implementation of a monitoring and reporting program. “The YSGA and the stakeholders in the Subbasin are committed to an open, transparent, and all-inclusive process to resolve important local issues related to groundwater,” the Plan stated. “This is an exciting opportunity to work together to preserve this valuable community resource and ensure the well-being of Yolo County.”
• Trustee Area Five was 1,826 in 2010, and 2,121 in 2020. Scholl and Soladni returned on Dec. 16 to present Trustees with the first three initial maps on Dec. 16. Trustees had shared major concern regarding if the three maps took into consideration future housing projects, and whether the maps keps the current Trustees in their area. Trustee Everardo Zaragoza had noted that he could not tell if his address was still in his area on one of the presented map scenarios. Scholl and Soldani presented a fourth scenario map that had taken into consideration the current housing developments already approved by the City of Winters. It also took into consideration potential housing development numbers (including Farmstead) that have not yet been approved.
Considerations that must be taken in Trustee Areas are: • Each area shall contain nearly equal number of inhabitants. • Maps are drawn to comply with the Federal Voting Rights Act • Areas are compact and contiguous. • Areas respect communities of interest. • Areas boundaries follow man-made and natural geographic features. • Areas respect incumbency, if possible. • Areas reflect local considerations like school boundaries and school site locations. Scholl presented the map scenarios and the variance difference they each created: • Scenario 1 reduced the total down to 4.3 percent variance. • Scenario 2 reduced it to 4.7 percent variance. • Scenario 3 reduced it to 7.4 percent vari-
ance. • Scenario 4 reduced it to 9.6 percent variance in anticipation of the 2030 Census, taking into consideration the future growth expected in Trustee Areas Four and Five. Trustees showed a preference for the fourth map scenario that was presented in January because it is accommodating of future housing developments. The public is able to review the scenario maps at the Winters JUSD office building during business hours. A public hearing will be held at the Feb. 3 Winters JUSD Board of Trustee meeting on the draft adjusted Trustee Area map plan scenarios presented. Trustees are also expected to approve which of the four scenario maps they would like to move forward with. The meeting begins at 6 p.m.

The battle over vaccine requirements for children reignites in California
Yolo County Library 52 Reading Challenge, Prompt No. 5

BREAKFAST || LUNCH || DINNER Open for dinner seven nights a week!
CalMatters California legislators are reigniting an ugly fight over child vaccination requirements with bills that would mandate COVID-19 vaccinations, eliminate the personal belief exemption for COVID-19 vaccines and allow some minors to get vaccinated without parental consent. These bills together constitute one of the most aggressive campaigns in the country to vaccinate more children. With an ever-changing pandemic, a new vaccine that isn’t completely preventing transmissions and parental reluctance, the stakes are even higher. Democratic authors of the new bills and local school district leaders expect the rhetoric and violence to only escalate in this next stage of the fight over vaccine requirements. Their response will likely be more of the same: statewide information cam-
paigns paired with small-scale community outreach. Here’s how this year’s battle’s shaping up:
The lawmakers State Sen. Richard Pan of Sacramento, a pediatrician and chair of the Senate Health Committee, is leading the offensive. If signed into law, his bill would require all children attending schools or enrolled in child care in person to be vaccinated for COVID-19 by Jan. 1, 2023. Most importantly, the bill would eliminate the personal belief exemption allowed by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s student vaccine mandate issued in October. “There’s lots of evidence that vaccine mandates work,” said Pan, citing an increase in vaccination rates after his 2015 bill eliminated the personal belief exemption for the 10 other immunizations required for students. The bill also goes a step further by no longer requiring personal belief exemptions
for any future vaccine mandates coming from the governor or the California Department of Public Health. Under the current plan, parents can request exemptions by saying, for example, that they have religious or political objections to vaccines. The intent, Pan and other supportive legislators said, is twofold. In the short-term, it would give public health experts the flexibility to respond to future COVID-19 surges and variants. In the long-term, it would give state experts more authority to make public health decisions without the loophole of personal belief exemptions. If Pan’s legislation passes, parents who still wish to keep their children unvaccinated would be unable to have those children attend school or child care and would have to seek independent study if they wanted to keep their children enrolled in public school.

La batalla por las reglas de vacunas para niños se reaviva en California Por Joe Hong and Elizabeth Aguilera CalMatters Los legisladores de California están reavivando una fuerte pelea sobre los requisitos de vacunación infantil con proyectos de ley que exigirían las vacunas COVID-19, eliminarían la exención por creencias personales para las vacunas COVID-19 y permitiría que algunos menores se vacunen sin el consentimiento de los padres. Estos proyectos de ley juntos constituyen una de las campañas más agresivas del país para vacunar a más niños. Con una pandemia en constante cambio, una nueva vacuna que no previene por completo las transmisiones y la renuencia de los padres, lo que está en juego es aún mayor. Los autores demócratas de los nuevos proyectos de ley y los líderes de los distritos escolares locales esperan que la retórica y la violencia solo aumenten en esta próxima etapa de la lucha por los requisitos de vacunación. Es probable que su respuesta sea más de lo

mismo: campañas de información en todo el estado combinadas con un alcance comunitario a pequeña escala. Así es como se perfila la batalla de este año:
Los legisladores El senador estatal Richard Pan de Sacramento, pediatra y presidente del Comité de Salud del Senado, lidera la ofensiva. Si se convierte en ley, su proyecto de ley requeriría que todos los niños que asisten a la escuela o estén inscritos en guarderías en persona se vacunen contra el COVID-19 antes del 1 de enero de 2023. Lo que es más importante, el proyecto de ley eliminaría la exención de creencia personal permitido por el mandato de vacunación para estudiantes emitido en octubre por el gobernador Gavin Newsom. “Hay mucha evidencia de que los mandatos de vacunas funcionan”, dijo Pan, citando un aumento en las tasas de vacunación después de que su proyecto de ley de 2015 eliminara la exención por creencias personales para las otras 10 vacunas
requeridas para los estudiantes. El proyecto de ley también va un paso más allá al no requerir más exenciones por creencias personales para cualquier futuro mandato de vacunación que provenga del gobernador o del Departamento de Salud Pública de California. Según el plan actual, los padres pueden solicitar exenciones diciendo, por ejemplo, que tienen objeciones religiosas o políticas a las vacunas. La intención, dijeron Pan y otros legisladores que apoyan, es doble. En el corto plazo, que daría a los expertos en salud pública de la flexibilidad para responder a futuras oleadas de COVID-19 y variantes. A largo plazo, daría a expertos de los Estados más autoridad para tomar decisiones de salud pública sin la laguna de exenciones por creencias personales. Si se aprueba la legislación de Pan, los padres que aún deseen mantener a sus hijos sin vacunar no podrán hacer que esos niños asistan a la escuela o a la

BATTLE Continued from Page 6 If Pan’s legislation passes, parents who still wish to keep their children unvaccinated would be unable to have those children attend school or child care and would have to seek independent study if they wanted to keep their children enrolled in public school. So far, state public health officials have highly recommended but not required the vaccine for children. A related bill by Democratic Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco would allow those 12 years and older to get vaccinated without parental consent. Pan says he’s open to thoughtful policy debates, but he also expects the same threats and vitriol he’s received in past years.
The opposition Some say the number of breakthrough cases among vaccinated people and the relatively low number of serious illnesses among children makes the vaccine mandate both ineffective and unnecessary. “This should be something that families should be able to make their own personal decisions about,” said Sharon McKeeman, founder of Let Them Breathe, a COVID-era parent coalition opposing mask and vaccine mandates. It was a lead plaintiff in a
successful lawsuit to overturn San Diego Unified School District’s COVID vaccine mandate — the district is appealing —and McKeeman said her organization would sue the state if Pan’s bill becomes law. Children age zero to 17 account for 1.2 million COVID-19 infections in California, or 17 por ciento of all cases, since the pandemic began. Of those minors, 47 have died and 790 kids have been diagnosed with a rare complication known as multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C. Christina Hildebrand, head of the opposition group A Voice for Choice Advocacy that has fought to keep exemptions to vaccine mandates since 2015, said she’s been gearing up for this battle for months. “This is premature,” Hildebrand said about the proposed mandate. “We don’t know where COVID is going to go, it changes week by week.” She would prefer to see the Newsom administration’s mandate stand because it’s flexible, allows parents to use personal belief exemptions and can be changed by the state Department of Public Health. If Pan’s bill advances, her organization will push for an amendment to allow a religious exemption for students, to mirror exemptions being given to school staff and other workers. Nationally, three
in 10 parents of five to 17-year-olds say they will “definitely not” get their child vaccinated for COVID-19, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation survey of parents published in early December. Hesitant or opposed parents are most concerned about safety and potential side effects, the survey found. About a third of responding parents of five to 11-year-olds want to wait and see how the vaccine is working. Some experts also question the effectiveness of such a mandate because the vaccine is so new and the infection still evolving. A mandate could harden those who are vaccine hesitant against the vaccine because they feel forced, said Neeraj Sood, director of the COVID Initiative at the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics. “Overall, the risk for kids is very low so it does not require the government to come in and mandate,” Sood said. “It’s not like a measles vaccine, where you take it and it offers lifetime protection.” Pan’s legislation to close personal exemption loopholes for the measles vaccine in 2015 was driven by an outbreak at Disneyland. Roughly one in 1000 children infected with measles die, according to the CDC. Nobody died as a result of the Disneyland outbreak.
NINOS Continued from Page 6 guardería y tendrán que buscar un estudio independiente si querían mantener a sus hijos matriculados en la escuela pública. Un proyecto de ley relacionado del senador demócrata Scott Wiener de San Francisco permitiría que los mayores de 12 años se vacunen sin consentimiento de los padres.
La oposición Algunos dicen que el número de casos de avance entre las personas vacunadas y el número relativamente bajo de enfermedades graves entre los niños hace que el mandato de la vacuna sea ineficaz e innecesario. “Esto debería ser algo sobre lo que las familias deberían poder tomar sus propias decisiones personales”, dijo Sharon McKeeman, fundadora de Let Them Breathe, una coalición de padres de la era COVID que se opone a los mandatos de máscaras y vacunas. Fue uno de los principales demandantes en una demanda exitosa para anular un mandato de vacuna del Distrito Escolar Unificado de San Diego — el distrito está apelando — y McKeeman dijo que su organización demandaría al estado si el proyecto de ley de Pan se convierte en ley. Niños de cero a 17 años suman 1.2 millones de las infecciones de Covid-19 en california, o el 17 por ciento de todos
los casos, desde que comenzó la pandemia. De esos menores, 47 han muerto y 790 niños han sido diagnosticados con una rara complicación conocida como síndrome inflamatorio multisistémico en niños, o MIS-C. Christina Hildebrand, directora del grupo de oposición A Voice for Choice Advocacy que ha luchado para mantener las exenciones a los mandatos de vacunas desde 2015, dijo que se ha estado preparando para esta batalla durante meses. “Esto es prematuro,” dijo Hildebrand sobre el mandato propuesto. “No sabemos a dónde irá el COVID, cambia semana a semana.” Ella preferiría que el mandato de la administración de Newsom se mantuviera porque es flexible, permite a los padres usar exenciones de creencias personales y el Departamento de Salud Pública del estado puede cambiarlo. A nivel nacional, tres de cada 10 padres de niños de cinco a 17 años dicen que “definitivamente no” vacunarán a sus hijos contra el COVID-19,
según un Encuesta de la Kaiser Family Foundation de los padres publicado a principios de diciembre. Los padres que dudan o se oponen están más preocupados por la seguridad y los posibles efectos secundarios, encontró la encuesta. Alrededor de un tercio de los padres de niños de cinco a 11 años que respondieron quieren esperar y ver cómo funciona la vacuna. Algunos expertos también cuestionan la efectividad de tal mandato porque la vacuna es muy nueva y la infección aún evoluciona. Un mandato podría endurecer a aquellos que dudan en contra de la vacuna porque se sienten obligados, dijo Neeraj Sood, director de la Iniciativa COVID en el Centro Schaeffer de Política y Economía de la Salud de la USC. “En general, el riesgo para los niños es muy bajo, por lo que no es necesario que el gobierno intervenga y ordene”, dijo Sood. “No es como una vacuna contra el sarampión, donde la tomas y ofrece protección de por vida.”

Same caring faces. Same quality care. Simple new name. For more than 40 years Yolo Hospice has been living out its mission of providing our unique brand of Quintessential Care for every patient, every family, every time. With the recent introduction of a new adult day facility called Galileo Place, the formation of a premier community-based palliative care program, and a 3-year-old merger with a longstanding Yolo County program called Citizens Who Care, we thought it was high time to rethink our name. Clearly, the organization is so much more than just hospice. The essence of all our programs comes down to adding life to days. We support both caregivers and their loved ones who are living with a life-limiting illness . . . no matter where they are in their healthcare journey. To that end, all of the organization’s offerings are now housed under the new umbrella name, YoloCares YoloCares.. It’s simple and reflects the truth about our broader community. Citizens Who Care is now the volunteer arm of this shared community treasure. Our volunteers assist with patient care, provide respite for caregivers, work in the office or answer phones, host fundraisers and golf outings, help maintain the Mastick Therapy Garden, or serve on the Board of Directors. Wherever you find a place to volunteer at YoloCares, you are a Citizen Who Cares. Visit www.YoloCares.org to learn more.

Tamsen Schultz-Bhachech earns 2020 Theodore Winters Award By Aaron Geerts Express staff writer The worst of circumstances often brings out the best in people. Although Tamsen Schultz-Bhachech didn’t require the LNU Lightning Complex fire to spark her desire to give back, it was enough to beget the selfless effort that won her the 2020 Theodore Winters Award. As if any reminder was required, everybody in Winters knows how close to home the LNU fire got. For many, it was a tragedy that would claim their home. Rather than remain content with giving condolences, Schultz-Bhachech gave time and effort to rectify the hardship of her community members with the Theodore Winters Award being a mere byproduct of her aforementioned efforts. “It’s an incredible honor to be given this award, but bitter-sweet since the reason I was chosen was hard,” said Schultz-Bhachech. “I have mixed-feelings and wish the LNU fire never happened. I was happy to step up and help the community but sorry that anybody had to do that.” A resident of Golden Bear Estates, the lawyer/published author/ mother and her family are no strangers to evacuations.

With the LNU fire on the horizon, her family packed their things and left their homes behind like so many others. “We have horrible memories of that fire, and that night was not unlike our other evacuations,” Schultz-Bhachech recalled. “Cal Fire and the Winters Fire Department are truly amazing. The sheriffs got everybody out, communicated the best they could and for the most part was empathetic to what we lived through. You get a little guilt because so many of our friends lost their homes and
I met so many people doing the fire relief process and the way it devastated their lives is something I’ll never forget.” Luckily for Schultz-Bhachech, her family’s home was spared by the fire. Many others, however, would never see their home again. It’s this fact that spurred Schultz-Bhachech into action with the help of the Rotary Club of Winters she’s a part of. “Rotary knew that night and morning we needed to do something. We also wanted to make sure we weren’t the only ones making the decisions, so we reached out to the city and other organizations to join
us in fundraising,” Schultz-Bhachech explained. “We set it up in two stages. First were the immediate needs. Anyone who lost their home got money and we checked to make sure they were who they said they were as part of our fiscal duty to the Rotary and those who donated money. Once that immediate fund period was over, we started an in-depth process with applications, evaluated them and assigned points with the criteria. We had about $130,000 and allocated the funds based on the number of points people got.” Growing up with community service being commonplace, helping the town and its residents when they need it most was a natural reflex for Schultz-Bhachech. To her, giving back to the community cultivates connectivity between people — even in these wildly divisive times. As the LNU fire has burned a collective memory of sadness within the town, it also beckons to the selflessness of its residents in times of crisis. With Schultz-Bhachech — and many others — embodying this selflessness, the town can take solace knowing come hell or hire water, Winters takes care of its own.
Buley receives 2021 Theodore Winters Award By Aaron Geerts Express staff writer While State Farm is content on being a good neighbor, Taylor Buley exemplifies what it means to be a great neighbor to the town. From fire relief efforts to countless Rotary Club of Winters projects, it’s no wonder he’s the recipient of the Theodore Winters Award for 2021. To win the Theodore Winters award, an individual must make significant contributions to the betterment of the town. Moreover, it requires one giving above-and-beyond effort, time and energy to numerous community initiatives. A criterion this father of two was able to meet not just from desire, but necessity after the devastating LNU Lightning Complex fire. “I was honored to be the spokesperson for the Rotary Club’s fire relief efforts. That allowed me to galvanize the community around the neighbors in need and raised close to $130,000,” Buley said explaining his role in the LNU fire relief efforts. “I did the background stuff like writing checks, making bank deposits and getting money dispersed to help those effected by the fire. I was happy to be involved and everybody in Winters

Taylor Buley was greeted by former Superintendent Todd Cutler at a Soroptimist ROAR reading session in March 2020. came together.” After the fire relief efforts, Buley’s drive to serve the town was far from extinguished. With the Rotary Club, he helped build the reading garden at Winters Parent Nursery School that’s nestled under the water tower across the street from the Little League field, he organized clothes drives, participated in creek litter clean-ups and spearheaded multiple fundraisers to ensure Winters would have fireworks in the sky come the fourth of July. “It’s part of my job to be involved in the
communities I claim to serve. In my opinion, you can’t be a good publisher and not do what I do,” said Buley who is — if one hasn’t guessed — the publisher of the Winters Express. “I’m there in part because I believe that it helps me be better at my job. I also take a huge joy in making people happy.” To Buley, giving back to the community is an opportunity. Albeit an opportunity he knows isn’t afforded to everybody. He especially laments the lack of male involvement in community service. “People can get low key involved and that’s
okay. They don’t need to go for an award, they can show up for an hour one day a year,” said Buley. “I just don’t see nearly enough men involved in nonprofit activities. There’s a lot fewer men than women and that’s a shame. People are working from home which gives us more freedom to spend time with our families, but I’d just like to see more men take advantage of these opportunities to give back.” Lamentations aside, community service isn’t a labor Buley partakes in alone. In fact, it’s an experience he’s been able to enjoy with his sons as well. “Not only am I out there, but my sons have been with me through a lot of it too,” Buley said, talking about fundraising with his son during the tractor parade. “My three-year-old had a flashlight and helped people passing by on the crosswalk. He was collecting five dollars at a time at the tractor parade and cried when he realized he didn’t get to keep all the money.” After a busy year of giving back to the community, Buley is lined up to become the Rotary Club president in June. With or without the title, however, one can expect more selflessness from Buley in the years to come.

State Programs Your state may offer similar programs. These are usually based on income, Investopedia says, and may also limit the price of the property purchased. But they can also include costs to improve the property, so these programs are worth looking into.
Deductions For All Of course, first-time homebuyers can also take advantage of programs that are available to all homeown-
ers. These include a tax deduction for your home mortgage, limited to interest paid on $750,000 or less for people that are married and filing jointly and $375,000 for those married and filing separately. Also, this deduction is only for those that itemize, and a 2021 bill increased the standard deduction to make it less likely that you’ll itemize your taxes. Still, it’s there, and you’ll get a 1098 form from your lender showing how much you paid.

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.

Letters Looking for new folks, new ideas Winters Youth Day is trying to return for April 30, 2022. We desperately need new volunteers for our committee. The areas we need help with are: the Duck Derby, the Parade and vendor park booths. In reality, most of us have been on this committee for more than 10 years. We started when we were younger, and we’re no longer “younger.” Mike (Sebastian) has tried to retire from the parade at least twice and he’s back filling in for this year. It’s time for some new folks with new ideas! Currently we are meeting once a month via Zoom. Please email wintersyouthday @gmail.com if you can assist us. Even if all you can volunteer is a few hours of time on the days of the events (April 2930), that would be fantastic. CAROL MCMASTERSSTONE Treasurer, Winters Youth Day
If you think Winters has changed, think Vacaville
T
here are new houses being built in Winters in numbers we haven’t seen since the 1970s. Even after we have built on every acre inside our city limits, we will still be a small city. Just think what has happened to Vacaville, Davis or Dixon in our lifetimes. I love to tell the story about crossing Highway 80 when I was in high school. You would come to the highway, look left and head for the median strip, which was gravel. Then you would look right and cross the freeway, trying not to spin your tires. No overpasses back in the 1960s. Same thing happened if you wanted to cross the freeway from the south trying to get onto UC Davis, look left, find the gravel, look right and go for it. Remember, Railroad Avenue was Highway 505 with all the trucks and cars passing through town and by our office. Those were the days. Vacaville had about 25,000 people when they started to build on “Hamburger Hill.” The Nut Tree was the only thing on the freeway and you could ride the narrow gauge railroad out to the Vacaville Airport, or enjoy homemade ice

cream on their rocking horses. My dad, Newt, stopped printing the Express in Winters in 1972. The Express was then printed at the Woodland Daily Democrat until 1984. After the publisher, Ken Leake, died, the new management team didn’t seem to care if they printed the Express or not. Ken Leake was a third generation publisher at the Democrat, but after he died in 1981, his wife sold the paper to a chain. My father and Ken were friends and about the same age, but “Kenny” died at 64. When I was looking for a new printer, I called Richard Rico and stopped by his downtown Vacaville office. He agreed to print the paper on Wednesdays at noon and I gave notice to the Democrat. I think everyone was happy that I was moving to the three-timesa-week Reporter, including the pressmen at the Democrat who printed our paper after theirs and then they could go home. Each week I would drop off a new edition of the Express in Richard’s office and chat about what was going on in our lives. He would flip through the Express and take a mental note of how many ads were in the paper and charge me accordingly. At the time, his son Barry was a writer at the paper and I figured that he would take over at some point. Barry had other plans and went on to lead his own life, away from the newspaper. Richard eventually sold the paper to the same chain that bought the Democrat. My father told me that when he was looking to buy the Express in 1947, he sought advise from
the Reporter’s publisher, Johnny Rico, Richard’s father. The older Rico thought that my father could make a go of it and Winters was getting ready to grow. Winters had 1,350 people in 1947. My father borrowed the money from a relative, bought the building and Express and moved his family from Long Beach to Winters. I was the publisher of the Express from 1983 until I retired in 2017. When my brother says something about me working for my father, I remind him that Pop worked for me longer than I worked for him. Pop sold the Express to the McNaughtons and me in 1994. The Express has been printed by McNaughton Newspapers since then. First in Davis and now at the Daily Republic in Fairfield. So where is this rambling column going? Richard Rico has called it a day. He started writing his column when he was 29, he is 87 now and his last column appeared in Sunday’s Reporter. “After more than 58 years and 3,050 columns of accidental prose and occasional profundity, the day I anguished over is here. This is my last column,” he wrote. Vacaville won’t be the same without his column, but all good things come to an end. I’m sure it was a hard decision after a lifetime of writing to just stop cold turkey. I’ll have to ask him how it feels to be free from a weekly obligation the next time I see him. I didn’t start writing this column until I was 33, I’m only 71, so I have a few more columns to write before I catch up with Richard and call it a day. Have a good week.

Soccer shuts down Live Oak, Willows By Sydney Andrade Express staff writer
Winters
Men’s varsity On Thursday, Jan. 27, the Winters High School men’s varsity soccer team won their home conference game against Willows High School by a score of 8-0. The Warriors played an aggressive game and maintained possession of the ball a majority of the game. Noel Gutierrez led the Warriors offensively with two goals, followed by Bryan Angel, Pedro Garcia, Atanacio Garcia, Ricardo Del Toro, Luis Lara and Leonardo Lopez, who each scored one. Pedro and Salvador Torres each had two assists while Esai, Jairo Barajas, Eric Reyes and Gutierrez had one. Christian Hernandez and Jacob Baker were all over the field and put an immense amount of pressure on Willows with a combined total of ten steals. Sebastian Rodriguez, Jorge Guzman, Esai and Atanacio Garcia also played a great defensive game. Guillermo Valadez and Nico Correa played in goal and had a combine total of seven saves, resulting in another shut-out for the Warriors.
Women’s varsity On Tuesday, Jan. 25 the WHS women’s varsity soccer team won their away conference game against Live Oak High School by a score of 2-0. It was a great game for the Warriors. They were tied with Live Oak at half time but came back out ready to beat one of their toughest opponents. Samantha Ramirez came out into the second half and scored the first goal of the game with an assist from Alondra Molina. Molina then turned around and

scored the second goal of the game with an assist from Karina Echeverria. Winters has not beaten Live Oak since January 2019, so there was a lot of pressure on the Warriors defense to maintain their lead and keep Live Oak from taking shots at the goal. Makayla Garland played the full game in goal. She was only challenged twice and successfully stopped Live Oaks’ attempt to score, resulting in a shut-out. Once again the Warriors defensive line, anchored by Isabella Mehl and Anahi Gutierrez in the middle with Joanna Cuevas and Ruby Campos out on the flanks, played an impressive game. While the Warriors have faced multiple teams this season, Live Oak has two of the league’s point leaders and the Mehl, Gutierrez, Cuevas and Campos kept them away from the net. The women’s varsity soccer team won their second game of the week at home on Thursday, Jan. 27 by a score of 11-1 against Willows. The Warriors came out fast and strong, scoring two goals within minutes of the starting
WHS Basketball Recap By Aaron Geerts Express staff writer
Women's basketball The Winters High School junior varsity women had their hands full last week with three games on the schedule. On Monday, Jan. 24, the Warriors traveled to Paradise High School where they’d get scratched by the Bobcats in a 26-5 loss. Next up on Wednesday, Jan. 26, the Honkers would fly into town from Willows High School. The Warriors couldn’t get their offense going, however, and lost 37-5. After that on Friday, Jan. 28, the squad would host East Nicolaus High School. Unfortunately, the Spartans proved as formidable as ever and would win 31-1. “It was another tough week trying to get bodies to practice and play in games. In the month of January, we have only averaged about five points per game as a team, so shooting is still a challenge,” said head coach Tom Crisp. “The highlight of last week was our man-to-man defense in the first half against East Nicolaus. We held them to only seven points.” Meanwhile, the varsity women found more success in their week of competition. On Jan. 24, they headed up to Paradise where they’d skin the Bobcats in a 45-32 victory. After that, they took on Willows on Jan. 26. A close game through and through, but when the clock hit zero, the varsity squad reigned victorious in a 40-35 plucking of the visiting Honkers. To wrap up their week, the Warriors hosted East Nicolaus on Jan. 28. A game that went down the wire with both teams fighting hard, but the

Spartans were able to edge the Warriors in a narrow 42-39 win. “The girls had an incredible week in the application of their learning,” praised head coach Jeff Christian. “The girls played their best half of basketball and were up 23-22 against East Nicolaus. Unfortunately, someone put a lid on the basket for the third quarter and we didn’t score. We came back and had a chance to tie the game with a final shot but missed it. It was a huge accomplishment for the girls to put themselves in that position, and I’m so proud of my team.”
Men's basketball The junior varsity men were also in action last week and took on a familiar rival in Willows. The Honkers played
whistle. The Warriors had already earned a strong lead in the first half of the game with a score of 8-1. Willows scored their only goal of the game on a beautiful shot from outside the 18 yard box. Pricilia Gonzalez was the first to score with an assist from Molina. Gonzalez then turned around to assist Yarethzy Sanchez in the second goal of the game and McKenna Clifford in the third. Clifford scored another goal for the Warriors off another assist from Molina. Sanchez scored the fifth goal of the game, followed by Anahi Garcia with an assist from Campos. Gonzalez scored another goal for the Warriors off an assist from Bayla Garcia. Alex Duran scored the final goal of the first half off an assist from Echeverria. The Warriors put three more shots in the net in the second half of the game, bringing the score to 11-1. Ava Skinner scored the first two goals in the second half off assists from Sanchez and Echeverria. Duran then scored the final goal of the game off an assist by Alexia
tough on both sides of the ball, however, and won 54-28. Looking to rebound after a tough loss, the junior varsity men traveled to East Nicolaus to take on the Spartans. The Warriors would not be denied their victory as their red-hot offense and suffocating defense yielded a 49-44 victory. Meanwhile, the men's varsity squad had a full week of competition with three games on the docket. They played host to Paradise on Jan. 24 and would send the Bobcats packing as the Warriors won 5447. Next on the hit-list was Willows in a game taking place on Jan. 26. The Warriors’ lockdown defense held the Honkers to only 38 points while putting up 49 themselves and snagging another victory. Their last game of
See SOCCER, Page 8 the week took place on Jan. 28 against East Nicolaus. Always a tough slog against the Spartans — even more so on their Senior Night — the Warriors kept the game close but lost 48-40. “We went two to one last week with great competition by our guys in all three games. We weren’t able to secure the week sweep by dropping the road game at East Nic, but the team never stopped competing and we were within a possession or two most of the fourth quarter,” said head coach Brendan McShea. “This team is making their mark on the defensive end and is really establishing the Warriors as a team you have to work hard to get points on the board against. We’re poised for a strong finish to the season against some very good teams this week.”
PISANI’S ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Riley Hurst Riley Hurst, of the Winters High School women’s junior varsity basketball team, is the Pisani’s Athlete of the Week. A freshman sensation, Hurst has emerged as something of a team leader this season. Hurst leads by example through her actions out on the court. “She hustles on defense and is starting to become more assertive driving to the basket on offense,” said junior varsity head coach Tom Crisp.

Express Yourself Winters pedestrians need a safer place to cross
Out and About: One dapper duck
Gramps Says As great as Winters is, and no matter how many good things are said about our town, there is something that has bothered me like a pebble in my shoe since moving here 33 years ago. There is no way to easily, or safely, walk the length of Grant Avenue from Morgan Street to the freeway overpass and beyond to Yolo Housing. Granted there are segments of sidewalk as a result of new development, but nothing continuous and I assume it will take another 30 years until there is enough new development to finance a continues pedestrian walkway the full distance Furthermore, there is no way to safely cross Grant Avenue on foot near Lorenzo Market where it is needed the most. I have witnessed pedestrians trapped in the center of that section of road by passing motorists. It is even more harrowing after dark. There is a contingent of people who routinely travel the aforemen-
tioned section of Grant Avenue on foot. Some are elderly and some walk from Yolo housing pushing a baby carriage or shopping cart. Surely this situation has been discussed in various councils over the years and there must be very good reasons why nothing has been done to alleviate the problem. I have talked this over with Sophie and we have come up with a few solutions. The first issue is funding and that can be made available from the $22 billion to be allocated for bridge construction and improvement throughout the United States. The overpass on Interstate 505 is a bridge. We simply apply for a pedestrian ramp to the overpass bridge from Yolo Housing and from Morgan Street. This is small change in the overall national picture. That solves the continuous
SOCCER Continued from Page 7 Aceves. Mikenzie Hapworth-Eldridge played a full game in goal with a total of three saves, one shot on goal and one goal against. This is
walkway issue. As for crossing Grant Avenue near Lorenzo's Market and the businesses on the other side of the road, I suggest a pedestrian bridge that is funded from the same national bridge funding pot. There, problems solved. I get that pebble out of my shoe and Winters is the undisputed best city in America.
Sophie Says Gramps is a little bridge-happy. While on walks, Gramps and I often cross Railroad Avenue at the controlled pedestrian crossing near Carrion Circle. Gramps pushes a button and a flashing lights alert drivers to stop. Let’s get practical. Have someone paint a crosswalk and someone else put in a set of those flashing lights at Grant and Morgan. No need to go federal.
the first time the Warriors have been scored on since Dec. 10. Winters is currently first in the Sacramento Valley League, tied for first in Division III and gearing up for another playoff run. The Warriors will play their final game of the season on Thursday, Feb. 10.

Eradyn Higgins and her walking partner, Stanley, were recently encountered strolling around town, where they frequently flock together. Stanley is a twoyear-old Indian Runner duck that Higgins adopted when he was one day old. No walking shoes or leash, just his trademark red bow tie and “duckcedo” that also serves as a diaper.

ducks do not fly, and in Stanley’s case, he loyally walks along with Higgins, her husband and their Yorkie. Higgins and Stanley always seem to have time to stop and talk to the curious. When asked about safety concerns for dogs and traffic while out walking in public, Stanley, it seems, is more concerned with avoiding quacks in the sidewalk in fowl weather.
