$450K interim city engineering contract gets approval

The state’s indoor-mask requirement at K-12 schools is scheduled to end on March 12.

Students to optionally unmask indoors at Winters JUSD sites starting on March 14

By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief On Monday, the Winters Joint Unified School District sent out messaging to families informing them that March 14 would be the first day of school where wearing masks would be optional indoors.

The move follows the California De-

partment of Public Health’s (CDPH) Monday announcement that the state would be lifting the existing indoor face covering mandate currently in place in all California K-12 schools, effective at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, March 11. Students will return to school on Monday under the new guidance.

The change in state health guidance on indoor-masking at K-12 schools no longer makes the distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

Yolo County Public Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson said she strongly recommended Yolo County

California announced two major changes to its COVID-19 mask policy on Monday: Masks will no longer be required indoors at K-12 schools or childcare settings beginning March 12 and unvaccinated residents will no longer be required to wear a mask in indoor public settings effective Tuesday.

While those mandates are being removed, the state continues to strongly recommend that ev-

eryone wear masks indoors.

Local health officials and school districts will have the option of maintaining indoor mask mandates if they choose and masks will still be required in healthcare and longterm-care settings, jails and homeless shelters, and on public transit.

Yolo County, meanwhile, will align with state masking policy, but the county’s health officer strongly recommends that everybody continue to wear a mask indoors.

“Yolo County continues to see a decrease in both cases and hospitalizations since the Omicron peak on Jan. 9,” said Dr. Aimee Sisson. “I

Council hears update on city’s radar license plate reader audit In 2020, the Winters City Council authorized the use of funds from a Vehicle Theft Deterrent Fund to purchase a multiuse radar trailer equipped with an Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) and deployed it on Feb. 20, 2021. Since then, the ALPR radar trailer has been stationed primarily on Grant Avenue but was also purposefully moved to other strategic locations during the year.

At the Feb. 15 city council meeting, Winters Police Chief John P. Miller presented the first annual audit of the City’s ALPR traffic data collection system and programmable message board.

ALPR reads and records a license plate and compares it to a database of wanted vehicles, including stolen vehicles, vehicles associated with wanted persons and alerts officers that the vehicle is in the vicinity.

Miller noted some glitches were discov-

By Rick von Geldern Express staff writer The Yolo County Board of Supervisors approved the Office of Emergency Services’ recommendation to spend $1.5 million of state budget funding on fire preparedness projects at the Feb. 22 meeting.

Senator Bill Dodd was credited by Supervisor Don Saylor for securing the state funds in response to the damage caused in 2020 by the LNU fire.

The projects and dedicated funds are the result of the 2020 Greater Winters Area LNU Lightning Complex Fires Community Problem-Solving Project that Saylor, Winters Mayor Wade Cowan and Solano

County Supervisor John Vasquez coordinated. Saylor and Vasquez then worked with Dodd who accounted for the funds in the state budget.

Office of Emergency Services Manager Dana Carey gave a short PowerPoint presentation on the process undertaken and their recommendations for where to best apply the funding.

Carey noted the LNU Fire in 2020 was the sixth major fire over the past seven years; mostly on the western border of Yolo County. Fuel reduction, siren alerting, warning systems, fire preparedness and mitigation efforts were presented as target areas.

continue to strongly recommend that everybody wear a mask indoors because the case rate in Yolo County remains high. Choose the best mask in terms of fit and filtration that you can consistently wear. An N95, KN95, or KF94 mask is the most protective mask available.”

Sisson’s message on Monday noted that people have different levels of comfort with recent masking changes based on personal circumstances.

Traducido por Carol Alfonso El Departamento de la Policía de Winters (Winters Police Department) publicó una publicación en las redes sociales el pasado 16 de Febrero informando que habían recibido informes durante el fin de semana sobre “tiroteos” de peatones con bolas de gel Orbeez de una pistola de juguete de aire comprimido.

Los departamentos de policía de Wyoming, California y Utah han emitido declaraciones similares en las últimas dos semanas citando las acciones como resultado de un desafío de TikTok que involucra las bolas de gel de la marca Orbeez y pistolas de aire comprimido.

El pasado 8 de Febrero, el Departamento de Policía de Vernal en Utah publicó una advertencia a los adolescentes locales de que “un acto delictivo que se lleva a cabo como resultado de un desafío es un delito y, a menudo, victimiza a personas o propiedades.”

El jefe de policía John P. Miller le dijo al Winters Express que si bien las pistolas y bolas de gel Orbeez son juguetes relativamente inofensivos, las acciones de “apuntar lo que parece ser una pistola desde un vehículo y disparar proyectiles a los peatones es absolutamente inaceptable y un delito, una violación de Código

“Se intensificó cuando atacaron a otras personas, a pesar de que no son parte del ‘juego’.”

John P. Miller, Jefe de policía Penal §246.3(b).”

Después de la publicación social del 16 de Febrero, llegaron informes adicionales al Departamento de la Policía de Winters.

Miller dijo además de los dos incidentes de vehículos en movimiento, incluido un incidente que ocurrió en el recinto de la Escuela Secundaria de Winters (Winter High School) durante la hora de almuerzo que resultó en una lesión a otro menor.

“Cuando comenzamos a rascar la superficie de los dos (incidentes) que se informaron, descubrimos que habían muchos que no se informaron,” dijo Miller.

Según Miller, de los tres incidentes reportados, cuatro menores de Winters han sido identificados como participantes. Miller dijo que se contactó a sus familiares y que los menores cooperaron en la investigación de seguimiento. Los menores fueron remitidos al Programa de Desviación de Jóvenes del Departamento de la Policía de Winters

(Winters Police Department’s Youth Diversion Program) en lugar del Tribunal de Menores del Condado Yolo (Yolo County Juvenile Court).

“Ha estado sucediendo durante un tiempo entre amigos,” dijo Miller. “Se intensificó cuando atacaron a otras personas, a pesar de que no son parte del ‘juego’.”

Miller dijo que si los incidentes de “vehículos en movimiento” continúan o se intensifican y se dirigen a vehículos en movimiento, lo cual es un delito grave, se emitirán una aplicación estricta y las sanciones subsiguientes más altas.

“El punto de inflexión es apuntar a peatones desprevenidos y no involucrados, disparar desde un vehículo en movimiento o disparar a un vehículo en movimiento,” dijo Miller.

El Departamento de la Policía de Winters está pidiendo a las familias de los menores que tienen pistolas Airsoft Orbeez que sepan cuándo y cómo se usan los juguetes.

Miller dijo que si bien los juguetes son de color naranja y gris, algunos menores los modifican con colores completos o accesorios hechos a mano y pueden verse como un arma real.

Miller aconseja a las personas que juegan con ellos a que no apunten a personas que no conocen, y que los usen en un entorno seguro y tomen precauciones de seguridad.

The focus for the March chat is patience. Planting at the right time may mean waiting for the right conditions. This talk

will encourage community members to be patient as they learn why one should avoid planting too early.

In addition, the presentation will cover seed starting and the equipment to facilitate successful sprouting. As seasons change, so do the critters that might be visiting in the garden.

Bill Weisgerber, who identified himself as a retired fire chief, thanked Carey and her staff for their work on behalf of grant funding for the Yolo Fire Safe Council and the north fork Putah Creek Channel.

MASKS Continued from Page 1 approach is supported by state guidelines, which indicate, ‘no person can be prevented from wearing a mask as a condition of participation in an activity or entry into a business.’”

In discussing the changes Monday, Dr. Mark Ghaly, California’s secretary of health and human services, outlined the progress the state has seen with COVID-19, including a drop in the case rate from 300 cases per 100,000 residents at the height of the Omicron surge to below 20 on Monday.

Both hospitalizations and, specifically, pediatric hospitalizations, have dropped by half from two weeks ago, he added.

Masks at schools Earlier this month, Ghaly had said a decision on K-12 masking would be announced

they make the choices that are best for them,” the press release stated.

Jenny Pinedo, Director of Special Education & Student Services, is scheduled to give an update on the Winter JUSD COVID-19 stats and guidance at the Board of Trustees meeting on March 3.

The state had previously taken action on Feb. 14 to only require unvaccinated individuals to wear masks indoors. Ghaly had notcounty for their work in this area, adding, “I really implore you to use every dollar that the community was fortunate to receive to address the high risk needs in the LNU-impacted areas.”

After public comment, the item was returned to the board.

Supervisor Angel Barajas gave credit to Saylor for leading the charge and, in return, Saylor thanked Dodd and the residents of greater Winters for their participation and trust.

The item was moved to a vote by Saylor, seconded by Jim Provenza and unanimously approved.

ed the state would reassess the requiement to wear face coverings indoors in two week’s time.

The week prior, Sisson changed her recommhad endation on outdoor masking at schools, saying where more than 50 percent of a student population is vaccinated, she would no longer recommend mask wearing outdoors as she has since the beginning of the school year.

Winters JUSD had

already lifted its outdoor masking requirement last year following a lengthly discussion by the Board of Trustees.

development tasks and projects.

Rather than issuing a time-consuming Request for Proposal, the City invited three engineering firms, PSOMAS, m6 and Bureau Veritas to submit statements of qualifications for interim subdivision services.

Bureau Veritas declined the invitation due to insufficient capacity, and after Trepa and Senior Planner Kirk Skierski conducted due diligence, PSOMAS was recommended to council.

Resident Richard Casavecchia asked why the city couldn’t save money and be

more efficient by hiring a city engineer and contract out specialty services. Trepa replied that at this time the city isn’t using that service in a full-time capacity.

PSOMAS employee Brandan Ottoboni has been named the executive lead and contract manager while Megan Buche has been identified as the city engineer and technical civil engineering project manager.

Although the service agreement is for $450,000, Trepa said the majority, or almost two-thirds of the fee, is paid by developers and about one-third will come from the city’s operating fund.

cies must enter an exclusive user-to-user Memorandum of Understanding to exchange collected data, but that law prohibits the sharing of information with federal immigration authorities. The collected data is prohibited from being shared with private companies and it is both the law and the City’s internal policy to share only with California agencies. In response to a question, Miller said data collected by the department’s ALPR belongs to the City.

A list of user agencies sharing ALPR

data with Winters was presented in the council package. Miller advised that Winters has invited the City of Vacaville to share data, but has yet to receive its reply. Conversely, the City of Davis does not share its information with outside agencies.

Last year, when catalytic converter thefts were occurring, Miller said the trailer was strategically-moved into areas where thefts had been reported, and to areas where crime was taking place.

In certain situations, local wanted vehicles are placed

on a “hot list” and into the system where they may remain no longer than one year.

Miller reported four to five hot lists had been entered into the system, including his command vehicle’s license plate as away to test the system.

ALPR does not run license plates randomly to identify the vehicle’s registered owner, nor check for warrants, driver license status, nor the registered owner’s immigration status and does not use facial recognition nor other “intrusive” technologies.

Feb. 28 after the state reviewed data related to case rates, hospitalizations, vaccination rates and more.

And while case rates and hospitalizations have continued to decline since then, vaccination rates for children ages 5 to 11 have not increased and remain lower than for any other age group in California.

In Yolo County, just 38 percent of children in that age group are fully vaccinated, where nearly every school has student vaccination rates above 50 percent.

But given low rates for children overall, “we have our work cut out for us,” said Ghaly.

Meanwhile, the news about lifting the K-12 school mask mandate followed publication of a recent study showing the Pfizer vaccine — the only one authorized for children ages 5 to 11 — is far less effective at preventing infection

in younger children than in older adolescents and adults.

The shot is effective at preventing severe illness, the study found, but offers significantly less protection against infection within a month of full immunization.

The Pfizer dose given to children ages 5 to 11 is about onethird the dose given to those ages 12 and up.

See the study at bit. ly/3htAAsH Speaking about the study on Monday, Ghaly said, “that data is … not what any of us want to see.”

“The good news,” he said, “is we’re making this decision (about lifting the mask mandate in K-12 schools) with the knowledge that we have more to do on vaccinating 5to 11-year-olds, that we want to get them more vaccinated as a group.”

He noted that the study showed vaccine effectiveness against

severe disease is still quite good and that “lower transmission rates in most of the state is really what’s guiding where we are today.

“And if we see those trends change materially… we would continue to assess that information and make a decision if that requires us to use a tool that we aren’t currently using to make sure that environments like schools and other places are safe.

“Looking at the data and the trends, we really do anticipate that we’ll continue to see reductions in all of the metrics,” he said.

As for lifting the mandatory mask mandate for the unvaccinated in indoor public settings, Ghaly said the decision is based in part on “the reality that tracking vaccination status among the masked and unmasked is really operationally difficult in certain settings.”

Women’s soccer wins playoffs, takes second in the championships

By Sydney Andrade Express staff writer

KS Winters Photography/Courtesy photo

Soccer athlete Yarethzy Sanchez makes moves to put herself in position to score against Williams High School during the Division III playoff game on Tuesday, Feb. 22.

On Tuesday, Feb. 22, the Winters High School women’s varsity soccer team won their neutral playoff game against Williams High School by a score of 3-1.

Yarethzy Sanchez has been one of the top scorers for the Warriors since the beginning of the season, and pulled through for her team during the playoff game against Williams, scoring two goals.

McKenna Carrion-Clifford has also been a consistent player for the Warriors offense, scoring one goal and making one assist.

Joanna Cuevas made an assist in the game against Williams, helping her team secure their spot at Championships.

Makayla Garland, Winters goalkeeper, played an excellent game with four saves and was heavily guarded by a strong defense.

After winning playoffs the Warriors headed to the Championships for the seventh year in a row, and while the outcome wasn’t what the athletes had hoped for, the score was not a reflection on how hard

they played.

On Saturday, Feb. 26 the Warriors lost their neutral championship game against University Prep in Redding by a score of 7-0.

“U-prep had so

much height on us it was ridiculous, their shortest player was maybe five foot seven,” said head coach Kim Olivas.

Despite the score, the Warriors were

happy to have made it to the championships and played with much heart and passion.

“We look forward to making championships again next year,” said Olivas.

PISANI’S ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Isabella Mehl Isabella Mehl, a junior on the Winters High School varsity soccer team, is the Pisani’s Athlete of the Week. As center defender, Mehl controls the game from the back line. “The center defenders are the unsung heroes always. The stats never reflect how hard she really works,” said head coach Kim Olivas. “Her strength on defense is why there have only been 21 goals scored on us in 19 games. She is also an amazing team leader who cracks us up daily,” said Olivas.

Moore commits to George Fox University

By Aaron Geerts Express Staff Winters High School is known for its exceptional athletes with some — like Matt Moore — ascending to play at the collegiate level. Although WHS isn’t the biggest or most prestigious of high schools, this Warrior is proof that hard work and persistence pays off.

Born and raised in Winters, Moore grew up playing sports along with a fierce sibling rivalry with his older sister. He carried his competitive spirit with him into high school and became a three-sport athlete. Now in his senior year, Moore’s athletic prowess has turned into a scholarship and commitment to play football at George Fox University in Oregon.

“The recruiting process was more stressful than I thought and didn’t think my decision would come down to the wire. But after another visit, I felt more at home at George Fox,” Moore said, then talked about what he’s looking forward to most. “Probably how much I’m going to learn.

My quarterback coach played in the NFL for nine years and I’m excited to see where this game takes me. Also, going

out of state and traveling for games I’ll learn so much more than just football.”

Moore’s athleticism isn’t the reason behind his success, however.

To Daniel Ward, WHS athletic director and varsity football head coach, its Moore’s leadership ability that sets him

apart.

“Every one of his teammates looked up to him and respected him. He’s super positive and a great leader, it was like having another coach on the field,” Ward praised. “He’s one of the hardest workers and watches a ton of film. Besides the work ethic you have to have the knowledge as well, and he’d tell linemen, receivers and running backs where to go. He also broke darn-near every school record we have in the passing category and led the entire section.”

The task of even getting noticed by coaches showcases Moore’s resilience. From the 30 direct messages he’d send coaches every morning to the daily emails, Moore’s blip on the radar became undeniable and coaches responded.

“It’s setting the standard that even though

Six Winters students win spots in Clean Air Calendar contest

By Aaron Geerts Express Staff The Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD) recently put on their annual clean air calendar contest to boost students’ awareness of air pollution. Out of the 76 drawings entered, six of the selected entries were designed by Winters students to put in the calendar.

Starting back in 2011, the contest is open to students in the air district which includes northeastern Solano, Dixon, Rio Vista, Vacaville and Yolo County. Every year the contest features a different theme with 2022’s being: “You’re the key to a clean air future.”

“The contest is an outreach tool to get kids thinking about clean air and is open to students K-12. Winners receive an Amazon gift card, a certificate of achievement and their artwork is celebrated each year,” explained YSAQMD public outreach coordinator Karin Bloesh. “We’ll get artwork of kids walking to school or showing how trees help air quality, so it’s a well-rounded way to look at sustainability and their environment and what they can do to make it a better place to live.”

With COVID — hopefully — in the rear-

view mirror, Bloesh praised the students and teachers embracing not just the contest but their role in helping the environment.

“It’s been a tough two years, but it’s exciting to see teachers and students on their own are willing to get involved and that it means something to them,” said Bloesh. “It gives them an outlet to show what they can do for the environment. It also shows the kids their small actions can lead to big change.”

One of the contest winners championing clean air was Waggoner Elementary second grader, Benjamin Martinez.

“I drew people going on a bike ride and throwing trash into a trash can because you don’t want to hurt the earth, and so the earth doesn’t get dirty,” said Martinez who is an avid fisherman when he’s not clocked in at school. He also had advice for anybody who looking to help him protect

the environment.

“Recycling is important so bottles don’t hurt the earth. I’d also tell people to throw away their trash,” Martinez said.

Another Winters contest winner is Shirley Rominger Intermediate School fifth grader, Jackelyn Cooper.

“I drew a cartoon version of the earth and painted a cloudy brown over it to symbolize its pollution,” said Cooper, who is the two-time winner of the calendar contest. “I just hate seeing polluted earth pictures, so I decided to do my painting like that.”

A lover of the outdoors, hiking and swimming, Cooper also encouraged people to recycle bottles and other products with the recycle logo.

In addition to Cooper and Martinez, the other Winters students whose entries were selected include Rominger students Elianna Duran and Nora Nolan; and Waggoner students Jovie Fisher and Clarissa Uribe.

For more information on air pollution and ways to aid the environment, www.ysaqmd.org is the website to visit. After all, anytime is a good time to start helping mother nature.

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

Selling your home can feel overwhelming, whether you’ve done it many times before or find yourself moving for the first time. There is a complicated process of paperwork, to say nothing of packing up everything you own.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to get ready:

Get an agent

You’ll have to find the right person to market and showcase your property, and

that might take a while depending on your familiarity with the local business community. They are critical figures, in particular for first-time sellers, since they’ll bring a wealth of expertise in what’s selling right now, competitive pricing, all of the required signatures and disclosures, even local lenders and inspectors.

They can also help you set a timeline for when you’ll move out.

Talk to your neighbors and check out online reviews, if you’re un-

sure of who to hire.

Contact a lender

If you’re buying another home, start by discussing your pending sale with your own bank. If you’d prefer to use another lender, ask your agent or trusted friends for recommendations.

You’ll want to secure funding from a lender even before looking for your next house, because many homeowners require a pre-approval letter before entering into an agreement to sell.

You’ll need a host of personal documents — including pay stubs, tax returns and all relevant paperwork regarding your debts — as well as a credit check. All of that, obviously, can take time to gather and complete.

Create a budget

Decide how much you’re asking for in order to sell your home, based on a variety of metrics including how much you paid, how much equity you have in the home, and what homes of similar age and size are selling for in your market.

Consider creating a second price point for any additional items the seller may be interested in, including furniture and accessories. You can then more comfortably set a price range for your next home purchase.

Keep in mind that there are often extra expenses along the way, including movers and inspections.

How do you feel about Ukraine?

As I was sitting in my recliner watching the news about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I almost felt guilty. Seeing the damage being done by Russian missiles raised my blood pressure, but I don’t want to see American troops fighting from house to house. I was thinking that there must be more that we can do to support the Ukrainians as they fight to remain an independent country.

If you think that the Russian government has changed, think again. The Russian dictator, who claims to be elected, Vladimir Putin, is proving that he is the devil himself. He claims that the Russian military invaded to free the Ukrainians, from whom he didn’t say. If you oppose Putin, he will either kill you or put you in prison. I’m hoping that the Russian people figure out a way to free themselves from Putin and his government. Seeing Russians protesting in the streets, and being arrested by the thousands, is a good sign.

The Greek scholar Euripides said “I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.” The Ukrainians must be part Greek, because it looks like they are standing their ground and fighting the Russians to the death.

The world is cheering for Ukraine and their citizens who look like they are willing to defend their country from all enemies, foreign or domestic.

North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has been pushed into joining forces to condemn the Russians, and they aren’t alone. Most of the world is supporting sanctions on Russian banks, trade, sports and travel.

My hope is that Ukrainians can survive long enough for the world’s condemnation and boycotts to get the Russians to stop their attack. The

KITCHEN & BATH

longer the citizens can fight back the better their odds of winning. NATO, including France, Germany and Poland have stepped up and are trying to resupply Ukraine with weapons, including anti-tank and surface to air missiles. I’m hoping they can also supplement their air force. We are sending money and equipment to our NATO allies to help with the cause.

You always hear that our prayers and thoughts are with Ukraine, but what they need is military support.

Without putting boots on the ground, the world needs to figure out a way to get Russia out of Ukraine, now. The evil empire is alive and well and like the saying goes, for evil to succeed good people need to stand by and do nothing.

Last month the United States bought $700 million in oil from Russia. That should be down to zero today.

So when you see the price of gas increase at the pump, think that you may be doing your part in making Russia pay a price for invading an independent country.

If no one is aiming missiles at your home, say thank you to our American military, and have a good week.

Bridal Guide

The rise of the microwedding Fun ways to utilize social Metro media in your wedding Special to the Express

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been far-reaching. People from all walks of life have had to confront the pandemic and the changes it wrought, and many of those changes could have some staying power.

Wedding industry experts note that one of the more noticeable and potentially long-lasting effects of the pandemic has been the rise of microweddings.

The 2020 Real Weddings Study (COVID-19 Edition) found that 58 percent of couples who planned to get married in 2020 ended up reducing their guest list by a significant percentage. The average reduction was 41 percent, and some suspect small ceremonies may be the new normal in the years ahead.

Microweddings Microweddings are not necessarily a new trend, as couples have always had the option of getting married with only a small number of family and friends in attendance. However, microweddings could be an

emerging trend, and cost may have a lot to do with that.

The Wedding Planner Institute notes that microweddings cost anywhere from $1,600 to $10,000, though the group notes that most microweddings fall somewhere in the middle of that range.

A 2020 survey from TD Ameritrade found that 47 percent of respondents felt that cost of living was the biggest threat to their financial security and long-term investments. Engaged couples confronting the well-documented post-pandemic increase in cost of living, including an unprecedented rise in housing costs, could see expensive weddings as luxuries they simply can’t afford. Microweddings could be viewed as a cost-effective way to combat the rising cost of living that still allows couples to share their big day with their closest friends and family members.

The WPI has urged wedding planners to offer microwedding packages in an effort to capitalize on this emerging trend.

Data from The Wed-

ding Report indicated that the total number of weddings would rise to 2.77 million in 2021, an increase of roughly 650,000 over the yearly average. Even if only a fraction of couples who tie the knot in 2022 opt for a microwedding, a preexisting microwedding package can help wedding planners secure their business.

Planning Nothing should be off the table when planning a microwedding. The fewer the people who will be there, the more freedom planners and couples may have.

Planners can focus on small details and allow couples to make their ceremonies and receptions as personal as they would like.

Couples who prefer microweddings tend to emphasize minimalism, so keeping things simple is something to keep in mind when planning microweddings.

Microweddings are an emerging trend that make for a realistic option for couples and the people they hire to help plan their big day.

Metro Special to the Express Young couples tying the knot today grew up with social media, so it’s no great surprise that so many want to utilize various platforms when planning their weddings. In fact, the Brides 2018 American Wedding Survey found that 87 percent of brides turned to the social media platform Pinterest for inspiration when planning their weddings.

On the surface, modern wedding ceremonies and receptions may look similar to the nuptials of yesteryear.

However, engaged couples have increasingly incorporated social media into their weddings, and the following are some fun and creative ways to embrace that trend.

• Create a social media photo booth.

Guests may take more pictures at modern weddings than the photographers who were hired to document the happy couple’s big day from start to finish. Social media boards are digital

screens that display social media walls.

Live event social media boards collect and curate content from social media channels and display it on a single digital screen. Users, in this case a couple’s guests, simply use a predetermined hashtag when posting photos and the images are then displayed on digital screens in real time. This can be a fun way to engage guests during the reception.

• Live stream the wedding. Live streams became very popular during the pandemic, when couples getting married had to pare down their guest lists in order to adhere to social distancing guidelines. But live streams can continue to be used after the pandemic, as there will always be guests who can’t make it to the wedding. Facebook Live was a go-to social media platform for live streaming weddings during the pandemic, and it can be utilized to involve loved ones in the festivities even if they can’t be there in person. Live streaming

via social media may be especially useful for couples who want to enjoy destination weddings, which tend to be small affairs due to travel constraints.

• Hashtag the wedding. A couple-specific hashtag can serve as something akin to a wedding album, only it’s one everyone can easily access via the couple’s chosen social media platform.

Encourage guests to hashtag photos from the wedding so everyone can have a good time looking back on the ceremony and reception once the day has come and gone.

• Plan with your party. Brides and grooms can create their own private Pinterest boards and share them with the wedding party. Everyone can then use the private board to bounce ideas off each other. Couples can infuse a little fun into the Pinterest board by encouraging their groomsmen and bridesmaids to post outrageous outfit ideas or submit singalong song requests to be played during the reception.

Members of the public may participate in the meeting by logging on to the Zoom meeting listed below.

Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86205973361?pwd=d1YyYmVxel dXcEpjbDUxeFR5MFhoQT09 Meeting ID: 862 0597 3361 Passcode: 036514 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 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 City Council 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.

Winters Express, Wednesday, March 2, 2022 — B7

Express Yourself

MOORE Continued from Page 1 you’re at a small school you can get noticed and play at the next level,” Moore said giving his two cents on the notion that one can’t get noticed playing sports at a small school.

“Anything’s possible.

I was just a freshman that’d never played football before. Then

I was a backup quarterback and I just kept competing.”

Although Moore is on his way to become a Bruin, there’s plenty he’ll miss about being a Winters Warrior.

“I’m going to miss my coaches,” said Moore. “I’ll be close with my teammates up there, but my teammates are my best friends here and I’ll

definitely miss walking out with them to the drum line before the games.”

With another Winters Warrior heading off to play collegiate sports, it serves as a testament to the surging success of WHS athletics. As for Moore, there’s no telling how far his work ethic and talent will take him.

Family matters

By Samantha Nickelson Special to the Express We all know that Winters is a family-centered community. Imagine, you find out you’re expecting, you’re thrilled, exuberant even. Nine months later you deliver a healthy baby that grows up happy, nourished, and with a family that provides for them.

The child flourishes and goes on to live a fulfilling life with a mother who can watch them grow. Now imagine someone told you because you do not live in a certain country, your child has a higher chance of dying before their fifth birthday. Imagine someone told you that because you do not live in a certain country you might not be alive to watch your child grow.

That special moment of finding out you’re expecting is tainted by fear. Fear of losing your life, fear of watching your

child die. Now, what if I told you most of these deaths are preventable?

The Reach Every Mother and Child Act has the potential to help save the lives of 600,000 women and 15 million children by 2030. This senate bill requires the president to implement a holistic five-year approach that will contribute to the reduction of preventable maternal and child deaths.

Although this may seem counterintuitive, having safer pregnancies and births helps to decrease total population helping with many other

problems like climate change. When children survive there is less of an incentive to have many children because their children actually survive.

Senator Dianne Feinstein knows how important this is and as a California resident, I am proud to say that our senator has cosponsored this bill. The Borgen Project advocates for the worlds’ poor.

Check out their site, borgenproject.org to learn more about The Reach Every Mother and Child Act. Pregnancy should end in life, not death and that is why this bill is so important.
