Lopez advised of successful lifesaving efforts by the department’s firefighters and American Medical Response (AMR) paramedics. Lopez said a patient collapsed in his home and was given advance life support treatment by firefighters and paramedics before being transported to the hospital where he was later reported to be conscious and talking. Lopez said this was a great outcome and testament to the great frontline responders that Winters is fortunate to have. “Kudos to our team and our partners out there, it’s really good to hear this person has another chance,” Lopez said.

Ordinance 202201 was approved, amending the city’s municipal code regarding compliance with the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO). By doing so, it imposes water efficient landscape requirements on new and rehabilitated landscaping projects for public and private development projects requiring a permit. The MWELO’s main change reported is that the ordinance also applies to single-family residential projects.

cluding Sacramento, changed the way voting occurred through the use of universal vote-by-mail ballots and vote centers that replaced traditional polling locations. But Yolo County was still operating under the traditional model during the March 2020 presidential primary and had 96 polling places open on Election Day where residents could cast their votes.
Months later, due to the pandemic, the county replaced those traditional polling locations with Voter Assistance Centers for the November 2020 presidential election and did so again for the 2021 gubernatorial recall election. For both elections, all active registered voters had vote-by-mail ballots delivered to them that they could mail

Health officer unsure of when Yolo indoor mask mandate will lift By Anne Ternus-Bellamy McNaughton Media While the state plans to lift its indoor mask mandate for vaccinated residents effective Feb. 15, Yolo County’s health officer has not yet made a decision on whether to lift the county’s own mandate. Under the local health order, everybody is required to
wear a mask in indoor public settings regardless of vaccination status. Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson issued the order in July and said she intended to lift the order when the daily COVID-19 case rate fell below two per 100,000 residents for seven consecutive days. The county’s daily case rate has fallen by 60 percent since it

WHS basketball recap By Aaron Geerts Express staff writer
Junior varsity The Winters High School junior varsity women’s basketball team laced up for competition last week starting with an away game against Pierce High School on Tuesday, Feb. 1. Although the Warriors held their opponents to six points in the first quarter, the Bears woke up from hibernation and would tear out a 45-8 victory over Winters. A few days later on Feb. 4, the Warriors squared off against a battle-hardened Live Oak High School squad. The Warriors would prove no match for the Lions, ultimately losing 47-6.
Varsity The varsity women’s squad also traveled to Pierce, however faced the same ferocious offense the junior varsity team did and would lose 53-13. Undeterred by the tough loss, the varsity women were prepared to host Live Oak High School a
few days later. The visitors had a 17-9 lead going into the half, but the Warriors rallied and would rip the victory out of the Lions’ jaws and win 40-32. “It was a big step for the team to take; to learn how to not give up and work a little harder,” said head coach Jeff Christian. “We keep getting better and better and it will be sad to see the season come to an end.” Pierce proved as dastardly against the junior varsity boys as well. Although playing host, the Bears were firing on all cylinders holding the Warriors to just 21 points while putting up 58 of their own in the win. The difficult week continued for the junior varsity squad, as they laced up against Live Oak next. According to head coach Dave Callison, the three-pointers just weren’t falling and the Warriors missed around 20. A tough team to be sure, as the junior varsity men would lose as well.

The Pierce Bears would complete their sweep against all WHS basketball teams as they took on the varsity men last. Down 10 at halftime, the Warriors battled back to within two points, however, the Bears would go on to win 57-41 and dampen the spirits of the home team’s Senior Night. Celebrating their own Senior Night was Live Oak as they hosted the visiting varsity Warriors. A hard-fought game that required overtime to settle, unfortunately for Winters, the Lions would go on to win 43-37. “Friday we traveled to Live Oak and faced a team and a crowd that was fired up for their Senior Night,” said head coach Brendan McShea. “We were tied at halftime and struggling to make open looks in the third quarter. We were able to tie in regulation but ultimately fell short in overtime. Luckily, we’ll be facing Live Oak next Wednesday in the first round of the league tournament at home.”

Soccer beats Pierce, Colusa By Sydney Andrade Express staff writer
Men’s varsity The Winters High School men’s varsity soccer team had two very well-matched games this week. On Tuesday, Feb. 1, the Warriors won their away conference game against Pierce High School by a score of 1-0. Pierce had a very strong defense but Javier Bermudez scored a beautiful goal off an assist from sophomore Luis Lara. While Bermudez gave the Warriors the upper hand, it was up to the Warrior defense to maintain their lead. Esai Garcia and Christian Hernandez lead the Warriors defensively with six steals each, followed closely by Atanacio Garcia and Pedro Garcia who had five. While the Warriors defensive line worked hard at keeping Pierce from scoring, Jancarlo Torres still had to work hard in the goal. Torres stood his ground for the full 80 minutes of playtime and made six saves, resulting in a shutout. The varsity team played again on Thursday, Feb. 3, and won their away conference game against Colusa High School by another close score of 1-0. Sebastian Rodriguez, a freshman, scored the only goal for the Warriors off an assist from Pedro. Noel Gutierrez and Ricardo Del Toro also played great offensive games, gaining and maintaining possession of the ball several times throughout the game and putting a lot of pressure on Colusa’s defense and goalkeeper. Jacob Baker played an extremely aggressive game with four steals, followed closely by Erick Rodarte and Jorge Guzman who each made three steals. The Warriors fought to maintain their advantage, Guillermo Valadez and Torres split time in goal and both made some very impressive saves. Valadez made three saves and Torres made one. The varsity men’s
soccer team will also play at the Shirley Rominger Intermediate School field on Thursday, Feb 10 at 3:15 p.m.
Women’s varsity Eleven seems to be a lucky number for the WHS varsity women’s soccer team. On Tuesday, Feb. 2, the ladies won their away conference game against Pierce by a score of 11-1. The Warriors offense has been very consistent in taking shots, playing with aggression and working together as a team, and their game play against Pierce was no different. Once again the Warriors were able to take advantage of their lead and pass the ball around giving eight players the ability to score. Yarethzy Sanchez, Alondra Molina and Samantha Ramirez lead the warriors offensively with two goals, while Jewelee’ah Garcia, Anahi Gutierrez, Makayla Garland, Alexandria Duran and McKenna Carrion-Clifford each scored one. Not only was Sanchez one of the leading scorers for the Warriors, she also led her team with the most shots on the goal and three assists. Diana Sanchez, Karina Echeverria, Riley Cramer, Anahi Garcia, Gutierrez, Ava Skinner and Ruby Campos also each made an assist. Makayla Garland and Mikenzie Hapworth-Eldridge both played in goal for the game against Pierce. Garland blocked both shots taken on her, while Hapworth-Eldridge was able to save two out of the three shots taken during her turn in the goal. Isabella Mehl, Joanna Cuevas, Campos, Gutierrez and
Echeverria played an amazing defensive game, only allowing Pierce to take five shots at scoring a goal. On Thursday, Feb 3, the varsity women won their away conference game against Colusa by a score of 7-0. Garland and Hapworth-Eldridge have both done an outstanding job in goal throughout the entire season, and the game against Colusa was no different. Colusa took five shots during the game, Garland made three saves and Hapworth-Eldridge made two. The skill and determination that Garland and Hapworth-Eldridge put forth as the last line of defense is what earned the Warrior the eighth shutout of the season. Sanchez, once again, led the Warriors offensively with six shots, two goals and one assist. Sanchez has proven herself time and time again and continues to be an extremely valuable player to the Warriors team. Carrion-Clifford also scored two goals in the game against Colusa, while Molina, Duran and Ramirez each scored one. Skinner, Ramirez, Mehl and Carrion-Clifford, Gutierrez and Molina all assisted these players. Sanchez, Skinner, Ramirez, Mehl and Carrion-Clifford each had one assist, while Gutierrez and Molina each had two. Defensively, it was Echeverria, Campos, Alexia Aceves and Mehl who held down the defensive line, effectively cleared the ball and pushed Colusa’s offense back up the field. The varsity women will play at Shirley Rominger Intermediate School field this Thursday, Feb 10 at 3:15 p.m.
PISANI’S ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
A.J. Pignataro A.J. Pignataro, a junior on the Winters High School varsity basketball team, is the Pisani’s Athlete of the Week. A producer on both offense and defense, Pignataro often provides the edge the Warriors need to rack up wins. “A.J. plays hard on both ends of the court. He’s a fantastic defender who can shut down guards and provide support for his teammates,” praised head coach Brendan McShea. “He’s also a selfless player on offense. He cuts, passes and scores at the rim or from outside. No matter what the team needs, A.J. provides it with energy and heart.”

wherever they are, regardless of what an individual store says, etc., because they recognize that things like masking, social distancing, do a great deal to prevent the transmission of the disease. “There will always be measures that prudent people undertake to cope with those risks,” Sandy added, “but as the government, it becomes more and more difficult for us to oversee those efforts and perhaps more and more fruitless, which is what concerns me.” He asked Sisson what she envisions in the months ahead. Her reply: “I think we’re going to see a movement away from local health officer orders towards guidance and arming individuals with tools they need to protect themselves. But other supervisors had concerns. Supervisor Jim Provenza of Davis questioned the state lifting the mask man-
date for the vaccinated, noting that “people who are vaccinated still get the virus and at an increased rate under the Omicron variant and the new (BA.2 variant) perhaps at an even greater rate. “(P)eople who are vaccinated, they’re not going to get as sick, but they can still spread it to others who will. We still can’t vaccinate children under five… and there’s people who have been vaccinated who can get very sick. We’re also at high transmission.” He urged Sisson to “really give careful consideration as to whether or not we should continue a while longer” with the county’s universal indoor mask mandate. As for the state’s universal mask mandate in K-12 schools, that will likely remain in effect longer. “This is to ensure that school safety layers are removed one at a time and in light of the extended amount
of time that students and staff spend indoors together,” said Sisson. She noted that it was just a few weeks ago that the California Department of Public Health loosened contact tracing requirements in schools by introducing groupbased contact tracing and allowing students to remain on campus and in extracurricular activities after close contact with a case at school. “It is prudent to wait several weeks to see the impact of the contact tracing and quarantine change before changing school masking requirements,” Sisson said. And as for concerns about the new Omicron sub variant, BA.2, the county is watching closely, Sisson said. “Compared to the original Omicron, BA.2 appears to be up to 50 percent more infectious and has caused large numbers of cases in Europe, including Denmark,” Sisson said. “Fortunately, BA.2 also appears to be neutralized by existing vaccines,” she added. However, Sisson said, “We don’t know yet if people who were infected with the original Omicron will be protected against re-infection with BA.2.
for public comment through Feb. 14. Following that public comment period, the plan will be adopted by the county and submitted to the California Secretary of State’s Office for final approval. Under the draft plan, the county would have 13 Voter Assistance Centers, with three open for 11 days and 10 open for four days. An additional 14 ballot drop boxes will be placed throughout the county for 30 days leading up to Election Day. All told, a minimum of 28 voting locations, including the elections office in Woodland, would be available for voters, who can also continue to return their ballots via the postal service. “This new way of holding elections has many benefits for voters, as was demonstrated in the elections conducted during the pandemic,” the draft plan states. “The new election model will help the community by increasing voter participation, convenience, and accessibility to voters with disabilities.” The Voter’s Choice Act itself establishes criteria for placement of vote centers and ballot drop boxes, including: • Proximity to public transportation • Proximity to communities with historically low vote-by-mail usage • Proximity to language minority centers • Proximity to communities with low
rates of household vehicle ownership • Proximity to communities of eligible voters who are not registered to vote and may need access to same-day voter registration • Access to accessible and free parking • Traffic patterns • A vote center location on university or college campuses During the last two elections, vote centers had been set up at the Winters Community Center and at the Public Safety Training Facility. A Curbside Voting option was made available last November at the Public Safety Training Facility. Additional voting centers and ballot drop boxes were located throughout the county and any county resident could use any of them. Services available at Voter Assistance Centers were more expansive than were present at traditional polling places in the past. Voters could do a number of things, including: • Get a replacement vote-by-mail ballot • Get a vote-by-mail ballot return identification envelope • Drop off a vote-bymail ballot • Receive language assistance • Mark a ballot privately and independently using an
Americans with Disabilities Act accessible device • Register to vote • Update voter registration • Use a provisional or conditional registration ballot Transitioning to elections under the Voter’s Choice Act expands the timeframe for voting in person significantly, from 13 hours on a single Election Day to 93 hours over 11 days, including weekends and holidays. The county also plans to implement a mobile vote center in order to reach voters in more rural areas. The full Election Administration Plan is available for public viewing at https:// www.yoloelections. org/voters-choice-act and will be available in Chinese, Korean, Punjabi, Russian and Spanish beginning Friday. Comments can be submitted via email to elections@yolocounty.org or on the website’s public comment page at https:// www.yoloelections. org/voters-choice-act/ contact. Comments can also be mailed to the Yolo County Elections Office, 625 Court St., Room B-05, Woodland, CA 95695. Comments must be submitted by 5 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 14.
MASKS Continued from Page 1 grounded in science, specifically the reduced likelihood that someone who is fully vaccinated will be infected. But “one of the steps that the state is taking is moving toward living with COVID, backing away from mandates and giving the public the information that they need to make informed decisions for themselves,” she said. Some county supervisors voiced support for that approach. “I want to applaud your phrase of ‘learning to live with COVID’ because I think that’s exactly where we are,” said Supervisor Gary Sandy of Woodland. “And I know that’s a difficult aspect for a lot of people to accept, but… it’s a practical utterance that recognizes the realities of what we’re dealing with. And I think we’re going to move to a stage here, if I’m reading the tea leaves correctly, where people are going to exercise greater self responsibility for their own health and those people who understand the risks of COVID… are going to undertake appropriate measures and safeguard their health
COMMENT Continued from Page 1 back the traditional way, deposit in ballot-drop boxes located throughout the county or deliver to Voter Assistance Centers that were open for several days leading up to Election Day as well as on Election Day itself. In Winters, the Voter Assistance Center was at the Public Safety Training Facility and a ballot drop-box was located at Lorenzo’s Market. Now the Yolo County Elections Office is working on fully transitioning to a model of conducting elections under the Voter’s Choice Act and is seeking public comment on a draft Election Administration Plan that will govern vote-by-mail voting, vote centers, ballot drop-box locations and the technology that will be used. “Given the tremendous success of our pilot of a VCA-like model in the last two elections, we are excited to fully transition to the VCA model,” said Jesse Salinas, the county’s elected assessor/clerk-recorder/ registrar of voters. “As Yolo County moves to the VCA model, my staff and I are committed to an inclusive process that protects the integrity of the vote and maintains a transparent, accurate and fair election process.” In that vein comes the release of the draft Election Administration Plan released this week and open

Ag interests want Solano to ‘slow down’ on zoning By Todd R. Hansen McNaughton Media The Nut Tree started as a fruit stand and became an international destination that helped put Vacaville and Solano County on the map — the tourist-spending map. Without some flexibility built into the agriculture industry, that progress may have never happened. Still, there has long been a noisy debate in Solano County about what defines agricultural tourism, and how to set the boundaries. “We already have pushback from people who live out there,” Lisa Howard, part of a winemaking family in Suisun Valley, told the Board of Supervisors at its Feb. 1 meeting. The reference is to often longtime-residents who bought their homes to live in the country setting, and are now watching concert and special event facilities, tourist rental homes and what they see as business and commercial interests
coming into their rural residential neighborhoods. And with that influx of “ag-tourism” comes more noise, more traffic and less of the lifestyle they covet. Ironically, it is now some of those ag-tourism interests that are concerned that the door is being opened too wide. Howard and other members of the agriculture community want to make sure the county defines what ag-tourism is not — such as billiards, carnivals and amusement and water parks and general entertainment that does not promote ag producers like the concerts and other events do at the wineries of Suisun Valley. The Solano County Farm Bureau and other agricultural interests also want to make sure the proposed language for the amended zoning ordinance is precise enough so it cannot be interpreted in the future differently than how it is interpreted now because of the well-worn paths of the industry.
Sean Favero, president of the Farm Bureau, said he believes the proposed changes are significant enough to warrant a full environmental review. “The concerns and feedback we are getting is we are making more than technical changes,” Favero told the board. Those issues and others are why the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will not vote on the text changes for agriculture zones, and instead deal only with the changes in the text related to the highway-commercial zones. The zoning issues were separated in part because there are things “we are looking at,” Supervisor Jim Spering said at the last meeting about the highway-commercial corridors. Spering, in a phone interview Friday, said there is not a specific project being touted, but rather the county wants to identify the areas in the unincorporated area that could be utilized for economic development, and
Larsen leaving county post to head up Steinberg Institute By Anne Ternus-Bellamy McNaughton Media Yolo County’s director of health and human services is moving on.

paired with housing options that could serve that area’s workforce. He said there are some larger intersections that would be ideal to have collaborated county-city projects, and noted business parks that are underutilized as well. A public hearing on the ag zones will be scheduled down the road after the county and agricultural interests can come to an understanding on the text changes. But the discussion that has led up to this point is far broader and reflects the changes in the agricultural sector, from how traditional farming practices are changing to the varied looks of agriculture tourism to regulations that can force changes — wanted or not. Supervisor John Vasquez points to two uniquely different examples of that. The first is the revolution of greenhouse farming with operations such as Gotham Greens, which produces lettuce in greenhouses on
2 acres, what traditional field farming produces on 50 acres — and uses far less water to do so. There is also the prospect of reintroducing crops to Solano County that have not been grown in the region for a long time, further diversifying the agriculture industry in the county. It is that diversity, with more than 100 commodities, that officials say has kept ag healthy in Solano. “I think we have tremendous diversity and a lot that is dictated by the landscape,” said Agriculture Commissioner Ed King, explaining that different areas of the county allow for different crops or livestock. While economic development outreach is not part of his mission, he noted there are more than 20,000 acres of almonds in the county, but very little is processed in Solano. “Almost all of that leaves the county to be processed or is exported,” King said.

Yolo County working to grant relief for residents with marijuana convictions By John Fout Special to the Express A recent Los Angeles Times investigation found tens of thousands of Californians still have felonies, misdemeanors, and other marijuana-related convictions on their records. Yolo County has collaborated with criminal justice partners to clear more than 700 marijuana-related con-
victions as part of criminal justice reform project that resulted from California voters’ approval of Proposition 64. With their records cleared on state and federal Department of Justice databases, residents have improved opportunities for socio-economic success. As a result of the Times’ investigation, Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D-Ala-

I’m focused on making sure California keep its promise.” The measure would give California courts until Jan. 1, 2023 to update case records and send them to the

Junta escolar aprueba nuevo mapa para redistribución de distritos del Área de Fideicomisarios Por Crystal Apilado Traducido por Carol Alfonso Los fideicomisarios del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Winters (Winters Joint Unified School District - Winters JUSD) aprobaron una opción de mapa para la redistribución de distritos del Área de Fideicomisarios que equilibra las poblaciones que viven dentro de cada área. Los fideicomisarios tuvieron la tarea de elegir entre cuatro mapas para la redistribución de distritos del Área de Fideicomisarios después de que los datos del censo del 2020 mostraran que las áreas de votación actuales de Winters JUSD (Áreas de Fideicomisario) reflejaron un crecimiento de población general de 569 (6.5 por ciento) y que la diferencia de variación general total de 22.8 por ciento puso fuera del cumplimiento del 10 por ciento permitido. En el 2010, la variación general había sido del 6.8 por ciento. David A. Soldani del bufete de abogados Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo (AALRR) y Carolyn Scholl de Cooperative Strategies habían presentado previamente
los resultados de su evaluación de los datos del censo del 2010 al 2020 el pasado 18 de Noviembre. La mayor población de crecimiento se observó específicamente en las Áreas de Fideicomisarios Cuatro y Cinco. Scholl dijo que la cantidad de variación se determina restando la población del Área de Fideicomisario con la densidad más baja (1695) del Área de Fideicomisario con la densidad más alta (2121), y dividiendo el número resultante por el número ideal de población del Área de Fideicomisario (1866). Scholl también presentó datos demográficos que mostraban que la población en edad de votar de ciudadanos Hispanos/ Latinos (Citizen Voting Age Population - CVAP) era la más grande con una población total de 4,799 (51.4 por ciento) y una población de 18 años o más de 3,369 (47.7 por ciento). Le sigue la raza blanca con una población total de 3,836 (41.1 por ciento) y una población de 18 años o más de 3,173 (44.9 por ciento), seguido por la raza negra con una población to-
tal de 68 (0.7 por ciento) y una población de 18 años o más de 50 (0.7 por ciento). Los datos del censo mostraron el siguiente crecimiento en cada Área de Fideicomisarios: • El Área Uno de Fideicomisarios fue 1,706 en 2010 y 1,716 en 2020. • El Área Dos de Fideicomisarios fue 1,783 en 2010 y 1,764 en 2020. • El Área Tres de Fideicomisarios fue 1,714 en 2010 y 1,685 en 2020. • El Área Cuatro de Fideicomisarios fue 1,816 en 2010 y 2,035 en 2020. • El Área Cinco de Fideicomisarios fue 1,826 en 2010 y 2,121 en 2020. De los cuatro escenarios del mapa presentado, los Fideicomisarios aprobaron el mapa para la redistribución de distritos del Escenario Cuatro que reduce la variación al 9.6 por ciento en previsión del Censo del 2030. El mapa para la redistribución de distritos del Escenario Cuatro también se dibujó para dejar el mayor espacio posible en las Áreas de Fideicomisarios Cuatro y Cinco mientras per-

ZONING Continued from Page 5 Being able to expand that part of the agriculture industry “would be an asset to the county,” and zoning has to be part of that. One of the primary reasons for the text changes is to bring the county codes in line with state codes. That includes recognizing greenhouse farming as farming and therefore opening up ag zones to the practice. The debate rises when the issue of whether such operations need to be in agriculture zones, and possibly take up prime ag land, when they could equally operate in industrial-level or commercial zones, or even urban settings. After all, Gotham Greens was born in Brooklyn, New York, and is self-described as a “fresh food and urban agricultural company.” The local operation is located on 10 acres off Interstate 80 on the Solano side of the Solano-Yolo county border near the University of California, Davis. The company is looking to expand that operation, Vasquez

said. The increasing, but always present, role that research and education has played in the agriculture industry — such as universities like UC Davis — is also part of the text changes. The new language equates education and research, so both uses can be included in the same zones. The other example Vasquez has raised during the recent discussions is regulations that will soon change how farmers, and specifically orchardists, can dispose of their prunings and other waste. Similar to the path of the California rice industry 30 years ago, burning will not be allowed by 2025. Vasquez said the county must look at zoning uses to accommodate biomass and related industries into traditional agricultural areas. “We are doing a really good job of telling you what you can’t do instead of what you can do,” Vasquez said. He said he wants zoning language that is more affirmative. Vasquez is working to locate a biomass company in Solano, a firm he said had
walked away from the county once before, so time is of the essence. “They do a lot of grinding already . . . and ships a lot of material out to Asia through the Port of Stockton and Alameda,” Vasquez said. He said almonds are the county’s biggest crop, “so I assume we are going to have a long stream for decades to come.” Vasquez also noted there are opportunities to partner with energy firms, such as MCE, to capture methane gas, something bio-digesters are already doing, adding there is one company that also is looking at Solano. Cattleman Jeff Dittmer had other concerns with the proposed language changes. He did not think the wording was precise enough and was concerned that, in the proposal, the barn in which he stores hay for his cattle, but is grown at another of his farming sites, could somehow be considered an agriculture processing facility. “There seems to be a misunderstanding that farms are on contiguous parcels,” Dittmer said.
improving permanency timelines in child welfare and recognition as an integrated agency by the state of California allowing for increased financial flexibilities, according to the release. “Karen Larsen’s dedication, leadership, and service to Yolo County – including two years of facing the challenges of a pandemic – leaves a lasting legacy of work
towards the integration of health, social services, and behavioral health services in the county,” said Yolo County Supervisor Angel Barajas, who chairs the Board of Supervisors. “She has successfully helped to bridge barriers across departments and larger systems to improve access and outcomes, in particular for Yolo County’s most vulnerable residents.”

Superior Court of Yolo County made good on California’s promise where Yolo County voters passed Proposition 64 by over 60 percent. In 2017, Yolo County Public Defender Tracie Olson identified and addressed those cases of individuals with Proposition 64 convictions who were currently serving time in jail or prison or who were on parole related to the marijuana conviction. Also, the Public Defender’s office filed petitions for relief for anyone who contacted them. Olson stated, “For decades, these marijuana convictions adversely impacted the lives of hundreds of Yolo County residents and had a disparate impact on people of color and those with low socio-economic status. I’m pleased that we are finally able to help these people move forward with their lives.”

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.

People in town know Joe Bristow by many names. He’s “Joe the Butcher,” “Joe the Weatherman,” “Joe the cemetery latchkey” and now he can add another name to his list of epithets, “Joe the 2020 Senior Citizen of the Year.” Bristow, however, is best known in Winters as “Joe the Butcher.” He earned this meat-centric moniker as the Buckhorn’s in-house butcher for almost two decades — and counting. “My wife and I moved to Winters in 2002 and started working at the Buckhorn in 2004. It worked out great because I was coming from wholesale butchery and it all fell into place,” said Bristow. “When their butcher, Bob Taylor, retired we pushed the idea of ‘Joe the Butcher’ in radio ads on KUIC talking about our products. It’s been a successful career and I still love it, cooking meat and working for the Buckhorn.” Bristow has lended his meaty expertise over the years at multiple Farm to School benefits, as a judge at the Carnitas Festival (Festival de la Comunidad) and Winters Chamber of Commerce rib cookoffs, as well as speaking at informational Rotary Club of Winters luncheons on what being a butcher entails.

Joe “the Weatherman” Bristow stands next to Weather Station Wallace. Bristow has been sending daily readings to the National Oceanic Administration since 2012. Beyond the butchering, Bristow also happens to be Winters’ resident, volunteer weatherman. A task passed down to him by his predecessor and Winters Express legend Newt Wallace back in 2012. “(Newt) said in an article in the Express he was looking for a volunteer weatherman, so I put my name in and got picked,” said Bristow. “They moved the weather station and rain gauge onto my property. I check it every morning and send those numbers to the National Oceanic Administration. It’s really interesting to do.” Bristow’s daily services to the town don’t end with the weather,
however. Since 2015, he’s been a volunteer at the Winters Cemetery and was elected board chair in 2019. A duty performed for Winters residents both living and dead, Bristow opens the cemetery gates at seven in the morning and closes them at sundown seven days a week, without fail. “We’ve got a beautiful cemetery and a great grounds crew. We’ve also been through a lot with our well going dry during the drought,” said Bristow. “It’s very rewarding, and there’s much more to it all than someone going over and having their loved one buried.” Bristow would also conduct ceremonies
“I learned a couple things over the years. The first is when asked to volunteer to help others, you never say ‘no,’” said Bristow. “The second is a quote from Robert B. Thomas... ‘We must strive to always be useful, with a pleasant degree of humor.’” Joe Bristow, 2020 Senior Citizen of the Year on Dia De Los Muertos and Veterans Day before lining Railroad Avenue and Main Street with American flags. A fourth title Bristow totes is the world’s third-oldest paperboy. Now, retired from that occupation, he used to toss the Express early in the morning with the world’s oldest paperboy Newt Wallace, and second oldest paperboy, Ted Couture. Even after years of service to the town

Peggy Kelley is 2021 Senior Citizen of the Year By Aarons Geerts Express staff writer Although originally from Napa, Peggy Kelley has proven herself to be a Winters gal through and through. Now solidified with her designation as 2021 Senior Citizen of the Year, the grape growers who told her she’d never fit into a small town like Winters can only sit and watch as this all-star resident continues to cultivate friendships and weave her warm-hearted selflessness into the community. Giving back is something that’s always been a part of Kelley. She served Napa in various ways for over 40 years and didn’t skip a beat when she moved to Winters in 2005. Being the new kid in town back then, however, community service became a way to make friends. “After we moved here, I came home from the grocery store one day and told my husband Larry I was very depressed because I didn’t know anybody. I thought to myself I need to do something about it because you can’t just sit on your keister and expect things to change,” Kelley said, explaining how she started making friends. “One day at mass, Father Kelly asked if there were any visitors. I said I was a visitor once, but now I live here. As I

She asked if I was interested in joining the Fortnightly Club and I said I would.” After that, she ran into Gloria Thomas who roped Kelley into joining the Altar Society. From there, the proverbial dominos continued to fall, Kelley kept getting more and more involved and making more and more friends all-thewhile. A by-product of it all, thousands of dollars raised for various organizations and scholarships. “I started doing fund raising for the Altar Society, got hooked up with Isabel Snow and did fashion shows.
One we did for St. Anthony’s, we dressed up the priest’s dog Gracie. It was a lot of work, I tell ya. We also worked closely with the Knights of Columbus with putting on functions,” Kelley said. “I’m also active keeping the Fortnightly scholarship going. After Isabel passed away, we renamed it the Fortnightly Isabel Snow Memorial Scholarship. It’s $1,000 each for two girls. We work hard to keep it going in honor of other members who’ve passed on.” Along with leading the Fortnightly Club through a pandemic, Kelley’s resume of service includes being a judge for senior
“When I moved here, some people in Napa told me ‘You’re going to a small town, they won’t accept you.’ And that was not true. Not at all. In fact, when we’re playing cards in a group, sometimes Barbara will say ‘sometimes I forget you didn’t go to school here.’” Peggy Kelley, 2021 Senior Citizen of the Year capstone projects for years, was on the committee for getting the new church built, raised money for Winters High School softball, helped at Waggoner Elementary events, taken part in countless food drives and essentially embodying the term ‘community service.’ “There’s a lot of people who’d do the same thing and it’s very rewarding. I have made some wonderful friends since

If your New Year’s resolution is to buy or sell your home I can help.
seems that over the years it hasn’t been as much of a concern for people. You’re talking about something called “dual agency.” The word “agency” refers to the act of someone standing, figuratively speaking, in the place of someone else, usually for a specific purpose. That’s why actors and sports stars have agents. The agent negotiates on behalf of their client. The same applies to real estate “agents.” And so it’s an interesting question of how a single individual can represent two different people who are negotiating from different sides of the table. And in at least some states, real estate agents can’t. But
I’d tell you to be mindful of is the actual negotiation of the sales price. If your Realtor represents both sides, it’s virtually impossible for him or her to actually get deeply involved. Not that it’s illegal, it’s just impractical from a logistics point of view. If your Realtor argues for the price you want, they are de facto arguing against the interests of their other client. With that said, your Realtor can carry offers and counteroffers back and forth, but you as the client will have to take on a bit more responsibility to tell your Realtor what to carry to the other party. If you want to counter with a price of $XXX, you have to tell your Realtor to go present $XXX to the other party rather than simply instruct your agent to negotiate the highest price possible. Again, this usually

in California, and as far as I know all of the western states, Realtors are allowed to represent both parties. Normally, if your agent learns something confidential about the other party, they are obligated to tell you. Not so with dual agents. In fact,

there are laws that specifically allow dual agents to keep each respective client’s secrets. As a lawyer, I find it sort of odd, too. You’ll never see the same attorney prosecuting and defending the same suspect at the same time. But the point here is there’s nothing legally or ethically wrong with it. And if you wind up happy with the transaction, then there’s really no problem. The one part of this

Winter blues finally show up

old weather brings too much time spent inside. I do find time for weekly walks, or drives — on a golf course — but it is a little chilly for a motorcycle ride to the coast. I find myself sitting in front of a fire, reading or playing on my iPad. Our new dog, Willy, still wants to go on neighborhood walks, and he is pretty insistent no matter what the weather is outside. He didn’t mind the wind last week and doesn’t even mind the rain, if it ever comes back. I’ll admit that I escape to my office and leave those extra dog walks to Sherri. My printing company has been busy lately, which is a good thing, even if I’m not used to putting in hours running my old press. Running a press run is good for your soul — like driving a tractor, it is relaxing as long as everything goes smoothly. My 1950 Heidelberg windmill just might be the most dependable printing press ever made. Heidelberg, Germany, started making this type of press in the 1920s, called a windmill because of the way its two arms pick up and drop off sheets of paper. They stopped making them in 1985, but the rumor is that they sold 300,000 Heidelberg windmills worldwide and they are still running. We were both made in 1950, but the windmill is in much better shape. Right next to the windmill is a Chandler and Price, an American press from 1917. Just a little bit older than the design of a windmill, but a century behind in innovation. The Chandler and Price is hand fed, meaning you use your hands to put in and take out pieces of paper between closing platens. It is clunky and slow enough that you don’t have to worry about getting your hand smashed, but don’t mention this to the workers’ comp people. Both presses are called letterpress,
where you literally press the paper between platens and the printing plate. They were my inspiration in calling my print shop a museum, which has become a real museum with the help of the Historical Society of Winters. It is nice to have an office to go to, even if it is just to try and organize 70 years of family hoarding. If I clean out a space, there is an office pool to guess how long it will be before something else piles up in its place. If you guess two days, you are probably off by a lot. Which brings up the question of what do you do with a lot of stuff/junk that some people think has value, but if you try to give it away — people just stare at you. Last week, I took 50 years of U.S. Mint proof sets, coins from each year, to a coin dealer in Davis, along with some other odd coins from around the world. He looked at the box and said it would take an hour to look up the price of all of the coins. My permanent tenant and I went across the street for lunch and when we came back he had $368 written on a piece of paper. I held up the bag of odd coins that were on the edge of the counter and asked if he didn’t want those. “The price is for everything you brought in.” I said sold, and he just shook his head and said, “I was hoping you would say no.” It is going to take him a long time to get rid of a box of stuff, but it is out of my office. If you are wondering where all of the proof sets came from — Christmas presents from my father. He found an easy way to shop and gave each of us a proof set each year, with first a $20 and later, a $100 bill inside. Made his Christmas shopping easy and made all of us happy. I regifted a few of the coin sets with our kids and grandkids birth years, but there are only five of them. Try and stay busy and have a good week.

while balancing many hats, Bristow’s forecast of helpfulness shows no signs of him slowing down. “I learned a couple things over the years. The first is when asked to volunteer to help others, you never say ‘no,’” said Bristow. “The second is a quote from Robert B. Thomas, the founder of the Old Farmer’s Almanac: ‘We must strive to always be useful, with a pleasant degree of humor.’” Although ‘Joe the Funny Guy’ isn’t one of his nicknames, one need only spend a few moments with Bristow — and his contagious sense of humor — to know he lives up to not only to Thomas’ quote, but the title of Senior Citizen of the Year.
I’ve been here. When I moved here, some people in Napa told me ‘You’re going to a small town, they won’t accept you.’ And that was not true. Not at all,” Kelley said. “In fact, when we’re playing cards in a group, sometimes Barbara will say ‘sometimes I forget you didn’t go to school here.’” A long time has passed since that fateful trip to the grocery store. Now, like so many others in Winters, Kelley can’t go anywhere without seeing a familiar face. It’s because she got up off her keister and gave back — like most should opt to do — that she made so many friends and earned the title of Senior Citizen of the year.

Winters students are wearing their heart on their sleeves about what they love about Winters, and downtown businesses are pulsing with their love. The Winters Combined PTA wanted to think out of the box for a way to promote school spirit and literacy. They have been unable to host any in-person events due to limitations presented during the coronavirus pandemic. “We thought it would be fun to display the art downtown so students could come view their artwork all together,” said Marilyn Autry, PTA President.

Jesse Salinas, County Clerk/Recorder, Iramirez, Deputy Clerk State of California, County of Yolo Published: January 19, 26, February 2, 9, 2022 February 9, 2022 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is Hereby Given that The Winters City Council will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday March 15, 2022, at 6:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter can be heard Via zoom Meeting ID: 862 0597 3361 Passcode: 036514. Description of Proposed Action: The City Council will conduct a public hearing to solicit comment regarding the proposed update of the Storm Drainage Master Plan - Northeast Area (SDMP), the Storm Drainage Master Plan - Northeast Area Impact Fee, Nexus Study (Fee Study), and the approval of a resolution to, among other things, revise Drainage Impact Fees charged by the City for drainage improvements. The twofold purpose of the SDMP update was to better understand existing drainage conditions, using updates to rainfall and regional hydrologic standards, utilizing availability of high-resolution topographic mapping and new advancements in numerical hydraulic modeling capability, and updated municipal drainage discharge water quality standards, to develop alternatives for addressing future storm drainage handling that are consistent with the City’s planning goals (2002 General Plan) and additional planned land use within the City. The Fee Study takes the identified infrastructure and associated costs from the updated SDMP and updates Drainage Impact Fees by drainage zone presented in the report. The Drainage Impact Fees have not been comprehensively updated since 2010. All interested persons are invited to appear at the date, time, and location identified to comment. Copies of the sdmp and fee report can be viewed online at http://www.cityofwinters.org/ or at at the office of the city clerk, 318 first street, city hall during regular business hours (mon.-fri., 8 a.m. To 5 p.m.).

discuss your concerns directly with your Realtor. Allow her to explain what her role in a dual agency is. Frankly, there are some big advantages from a logistical point of view.

When I’m representing someone in a lawsuit, it would be really convenient if I didn’t have another attorney to deal with. It would really save on emails, letters and telephone calls. And both parties would save a lot of money on attorney fees. Plus, there would be a lot less arguing since I generally always agree that my opinions are the correct ones. In your case, the dual agency could really help the sale process move ahead smoothly and with fewer complications since your agent has direct access to all of the parties in the transaction.
There would be less down time conveying messages, fewer misunderstandings, and it would be far easier to come to a meeting of the minds on important issues. So talk it over with your Realtor. If you are still unhappy with the situation, ask your Realtor if someone else in her office could take over the day-to-day representation of the buyer. Legally it doesn’t matter since, technically, the same office would be representing both parties. But from a practical point of view, there would be two different people working solely for each of their respective clients.
Notice of Public Hearing NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Commission of the City of Winters will conduct a Public Hearing on Tuesday, February 22, 2022, at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom on the Housing Element update described below. The public may attend by Zoom/teleconference at https://us02web.zoom.us/ j/7095453737; Meeting ID: 709 545 3737. To call into the hearing (audio only), dial (669) 900-6833 and enter the meeting ID. If you are joining the meeting via Zoom and wish to make a comment on an item, press the “raise a hand” button. If you are joining the meeting by phone, press *9 to indicate a desire to make a comment. The chair will call you by name or phone number when it is your turn to comment. 6th Cycle Housing Element Update Minor Amendment Project Description: On September 21, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution 2021-51, approving the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. In consultation with the California Department of Housing and Community Development, minor revisions are necessary in order to provide clarifications relating to State Housing Element Law. Specifically, programs to affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH) must have metrics and milestones. As a result, several Housing Element Implementation Programs have been revised to include additional language addressing the requirements of Housing Element Law. It is anticipated that the proposed 6th Cycle Housing Element Update Minor Amendment project will be determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. A “categorical exemption” implies that the project will not result in any significant adverse environmental effect. The Planning Commission and City Council will consider the appropriateness of said environmental recommendation based on the record of evidence before them. If substantial evidence has been presented demonstrating a more appropriate environmental determination than the one that has been recommended, the City Council may require and/or approve an alternative environmental determination pursuant to the requirements of CEQA. The proposed Housing Element update is available online at http://www.cityofwinters.org/community-dev-reports/ and on file at the Planning Division of the City of Winters Community Development Department for public review. A staff report will be available for public review three working days prior to the Planning Commission meeting. Please contact the Planning Division at (530) 794-6718 if you have any questions regarding this housing element update. If you challenge the categorical exemption and/or the revised Housing Element Update in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to Planning prior to or at the public hearing. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, if you are a disabled person and you need a disability-related modification or accommodation to participate in these hearings, please contact the City Clerk at (530) 794-6702. Please make your request as early as possible and at least one-full business day before the start of the hearing. Published February 9, 2022

Eat dessert first I Sweet satisfaction at the gelato bar
M
y sweet tooth was begging me recently. It said, “Aaron, c’mon man, we need something good, something tasty, something fresh!” To placate my talkative sweet tooth, I went to Carboni’s Ristorante, got a scoop of gelato and instantly knew that I’d tasted this week’s Flavah Faaave. After a brief moment in front of the glass panel, I selected the Bomb Coconut Cream flavor and the server dug out a massive scoop for me. The first bite smacked
my sweet tooth silly. It couldn’t handle the chocolate richness, the light coconut-yness, or the sweet marshmallows strewn throughout the scoop, but I loved it all. With so many amazing, sweet treats in the town, I can’t say this gelato is the absolute best. I can, however, say this flood of flavor is something Noah couldn’t escape. And the next time one’s sweet tooth is badgering them for something tasty, the gelato bar at Carboni’s is sure to satisfy.
don’t always eat dessert first, but I try to fulfill that manta every couple of weeks. Life is too short to not enjoy the sweet and delicious things in life. Sometimes I put a spoonful of vanilla ice cream in my coffee (a habit I picked up from a fellow server when I was going to college in Michigan). Other times, I buy a dessert the day before and when the children are off at my parents’ house I sit down on the couch and enjoy every bite myself. Lester Farms Bakery used to help fill that need. Their decadent Bismark doughnut was one of my favorite morning treats. Puff pastry filled with custard and topped off with a glaze of chocolate. I was also known to purchase a pie or a mini pie to gift a treat for my husband. The last week they were open my last purchase was an apple pie and a Bismark. The doughnut was devoured shortly after getting home. The pie we tried to savor as long as possible. But it too was gone within a few days.

This flood of flavor at Carboni’s Ristorante is something Noah couldn’t escape.
With rotating menus, it’s hard to find a dedicated go-to dessert. I used to go to Tomat’s and get a drink and a slice of cheesecake covered in strawberries. If the cheesecake

If both of those were out, I gave Tony a piece of my mind. I am guilty of going to the Carboni’s Ristorante to see if there is tiramisu in the case. It’s hit or miss — but if it’s there I am definitely buying a piece to bring home to eat in secret from my oldest daughter, who also wants all things tiramisu. It’s hard to find a good tiramisu within reasonable driving limits that doesn’t taste like it’s been defrosting out of the freezer. I’ve concluded that there are at least two places to go where I know they should have my dessert of choice on hand. My top pick is the Mudd Pie at the Buckhorn Steakhouse. It’s a little taste of all of my favorites flavors in one. Coffee ice cream, chocolate drizzle,
crumbly crust and a topping of crunchy nuts. The whipped layer on top is the silver lining. I don’t like to share it, but with the right friends (or if my daughters happen to be with me), I would. On occasion, I’ll treat myself to an order of Cajun Steak Bites and a Mudd Pie. It’s the best trick I’ve found to enjoying bites of steak and having enough room for dessert. Sometimes I get wild and get the Ceasar Pleaser and a Mudd Pie, but sometimes that’s pushing it. My family’s favorite place to get a sweet treat is Kona Ice Shop. Between the options of shaved ice, frozen yogurt or ice cream — everyone (all six to eight of us depending on if all the children are home) can find something they like.
I tend to gravitate to the Kauai Pie ice cream. Coffee ice cream with macadamia nuts, chocolate fudge and coconut mixed in — are you sensing a similar pattern here? I have ventured to other flavors, but my most picked one is the Kauai Pie. My kids can’t make up their minds between the three. My youngest daughter always orders the Mermaid shaved ice. Once in a while she gets chocolate ice cream. My two older daughters order based on their moods that day. We always end up sampling or trading bites when we go since everyone always orders something different. I encourage you to eat dessert first every once in a while. You deserve it. At least, that what I tell myself.
