Aguiar takes second in state at FFA leadership conference By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief
Express staff writer With warming spring weather, longer daylight hours and a new sense of freedom from diminishing COVID-19 restrictions, the devastation of the 2020 LNU Complex Fire affecting Yolo, Napa and Solano counties may be a memory to some, but certainly not to those who suffered loss of homes, property and life of a friend or loved one. According to the Yolo County Office of Emergency Services (Yolo OES) the LNU Fire spread over

The gardens around the various sites of the school district are more than just gardens, they’re classrooms. Although their health — like any other garden — fluctuates, Winters Farm to School helps keep them alive to teach students about the importance of nutritious foods and agriculture. Anybody who’s dabbled in gardening can tell you what a challenge it is. From slug attacks to bad weather to simply not having enough time to devote the TLC, gardening — and farming — are difficult enterprises in which to partake. Regardless of the

crease procurement of farm direct veggies for school meals. So suddenly we had this money and the idea of starting something that’d go away in three years horrified me,” said Cathleen Olsen, Director of Food Service and Winters Farm to School board member. “We had a goal with our grant partners of not just

My thinking was to start a farm to school program and we officially launched at Wolfskill Ranch and have had annual fund raisers.” The gardens at Shirley Rominger Intermediate School are weed-ridden due to COVID shutdowns and have been non-operational due to needing to be relocated following the construction of a three-classsroom modulate building over the summer. They’re currently in a narrow space between buildings, but Olsen is hopeful they’ll find a spot with more sunshine. With COVID restrictions loosening, the changes will allow the main labor force of volunteers to return to school campuses. According to Olsen, more helping hands are all that’s needed to officially get the Rominger school gardens back on track. Meanwhile, the Waggoner Elementary gardens continue to be the benchmark for district gardens, as they are thriving and stoking student excitement to learn and enjoy the fruits — and veggies — of their labor. “The gardens help reconnect kids to the land and their agricultural heritage.

Winters baseball dominates Pierce twice By Sydney Andrade Express staff writer The Winters High School varsity baseball team had a winning week, with one very close game against Gridley and two games against Pierce. On Tuesday, March 22, the WHS varsity team won their home conference game against Pierce High School by a score of 10-4. Connor Ray, Matt Moore and AJ Pignataro played a very strong hitting game against Pierce. Ray successfully put three runs on the board for Winters, making his way around the bases on steals and across home plate on Moores RBIs. Moore and Pignataro each scored two runs for the Warriors and went four for four at bat. Logan

Isaac Lopez prepares to field a ball during a recent game. Spears, Ashton Baylor and Derrick Olson also each
scored a run for the Warriors.
Anthony Duran took the mound in the game against Pierce and pitched a great game. Shortstop Isaac Lopez and third baseman Justice Madsen made several great defensive plays stopping Pierce from being able to capitalize on any hit they were able to make. Moore also made several outs at first base. On Wednesday, March 23, the Warriors lost their home non-conference game against Gridley High School by a score of 7-6. The Warriors had a couple of rough innings at bat during the start of the game. Besides the one run by Madsen in the second inning the Winters varsity baseball team struggled getting on base until the fifth inning when Pignata-
ro, Ray and Madsen were finally able to make it across home plate putting three runs on the board. In the sixth inning, the Warriors closed the gap even further with a run from Isaiah Pazmino and Baylor. The Warriors switched up their defense a bit, with both Ray and Madsen taking the mound. Olson, Baylor and Lopez did a great job backing them up, along with Moore who did a great job covering first base. These six players were involved in a majority of the plays and if it weren’t for a few minor errors the Warriors probably would have won the game The Warriors went on to play Pierce again on Friday, March 25, and won by a score of 14-0.

His early years were spent on his grandparent’s ranch on Holmes Lane. Most days he roamed the ranch in his underwear and little cowboy boots. Joey loved ranch living, his bubbly, humorous, and energetic spirit was a constant source of entertainment for his family members.

He enjoyed skydiving, motorcycles, big trucks, all-terrain vehicles, and anything else that would give him an adrenaline rush. Joey experienced more in his short life than others do in a lifetime. He was a hard-working pipeliner for Barnard Pipeline, Teichert and Gas Transmission at IBEW Local 1245. His accomplishments include obtaining a NACE Certification from NACE International Institute of Texas, and obtaining a position as a pipeline inspector at Gulf Interstate Engineering in Virginia.

Tony “T.R.” Martin Tony “T.R.” Martin passed away peacefully on March 9, at Kaiser Hospital Vacaville, surrounded by his family. He was a Winters resident for his entire life, having been born at his aunt’s house on Baker Street, Aug. 6, 1934 to Emilio G. Martin and Frances Ramon Martin. He was a descendent of the Spanish Hawaiian immigration to California at the turn of the 20th century. Tony attended public schools in the Winters area and graduated from Winters High School in the Class of 1952. Following graduation, he joined the U.S. Navy Reserves. Later he continued his education with classes at University of California Davis, as well as began to farm as a young man with many of his family members who had farmed in the Winters area for decades. Thus began his continuous education in his life-long career, farming. Family was important to Tony. He married his friend and sweetheart, Dorothy Watterson in 1953 and they began a family, having four children. They lived near both sets of parents, siblings and a very large extended family in Winters and surrounding areas. Nearly every Sunday and holidays were spent visiting family as well as enjoying meals and celebrations together. Over the years, he was committed to keeping the family connected through calls to family members, organizing family reunions and “cousin” lunches. He was always open to fun and socializing.

PREPARE Continued from Page 1 a native plant sale incorporating fire and drought resistant plants.
Yolo at a glance The first two months of 2022 have registered as Yolo County’s driest January/ February period on record in the last 128 years. Drought and increased fire risk go hand-in-hand. As drought conditions persist, Yolo County’s rainfall is down 7.76-inches from normal during the first two months of 2022. Coupled with drier conditions, brush, structures, trees and property are increasingly more receptive to fire situations. Efforts and activities in meeting our safety needs require collaboration between communities, community members and government. During fire season, prevention and preparedness are more important than ever because it seems new lessons are learned after each wildfire event. Fire season preparedness includes education, identifying the vulnerable and elderly, creating defensible spaces, hardscaping around homes and structures, developing an evacuation plan and identifying safe zones. Neighborhoods in rural Winters are unique and necessitate individual assessments to identify and address fire danger. Fire Safe Councils (FSC) have organized in Greater Winters and Solano County to identify needs to prevent and lessen the
destruction caused by wildfires and save lives. FSCs work to develop telephone lists and routes of safe egress, identify residents with transportation and special needs, and detect and mitigate likely fuel sources such as grass, trees, chemicals, dry lumber and fuel tanks. It’s not only rural areas threatened by wildfire. Putah Creek creates the border separating Yolo and Solano Counties. A wildfire raging along Putah Creek in the vicinity of downtown Winters could jump the creek and cause catastrophic damage equivalent to what was experienced in communities like Paradise, Sonoma and Santa Rosa.
Winters plan The City of Winters Emergency Management Plan is a 101page document formally adopted by the Winters City Council in 2017. Once adopted, the Winters Plan was made part of both the Yolo Emergency Operations Plan and the California Emergency Plan. The Plan acknowledged that Winters has some unique natural hazard risks and identifies them by a rating system from zero to one. Currently, the greatest community risk factors identified in the Winters Plan are dam failure, radiological accidents, information systems (IT) failure and cyberterrorism. Each of these four potential hazards were given a .95 risk score, the highest of any score given. Wildfire, on the other
hand, was rated equally with terrorism and tornados, receiving a .70 risk rating. Even further below wildfire is drought, which received a .55 risk factor.
Local efforts At the March 26 event, Solano County Conservation Project Manager Karin Young gave two workshops and presented tips on hardscaping around
“Most importantly, have an emergency plan and go kit.” Robyn Rains, Solano emergency manager structures, planting fire resistant plants and managing if not eliminating fire prone plants, like eucalyptus. The Pleasants Valley and West Winters Fire Safe Councils staffed booths with representatives to provide information and answer questions. “We continue to partner with our local Fire Safe Councils to engage the communi-
ty in fire prevention education and activities. Get involved, join your local Fire Safe Council. If you don’t have one, start one. Be a good neighbor. Most importantly, have an emergency plan and go kit,” said Robyn Rains, assistant emergency services manager with the Solano OES. Revalee Hemken, representing the Pleasants Valley Fire Safe Council, recalled that during the LNU Fire she evacuated from her home and spent a couple nights at Rotary Park until it was safe to return. Fortunately, her home was not a casualty of the fire, but she strongly recommends devising an action strategy to include an evacuation plan, a communication plan and having a safe zone destination.
Yolo OES have a great working relationship. We work together during training and exercises which reinforces relationships necessary for efficient coordination during emergencies,” said Rains. Yolo-Alert, in partnership with Sacramento and Placer counties, provides residents with the ability to receive real-time emergency alerts and recommended actions to include evacuation instructions. Anyone is able to sign up at www. yolo-alert.org and may add multiple addresses and phone numbers to be notified in case of an emergency. A “Know Your Zone”
evacuation route map is available at evacuate.yolocounty.org. By entering an address, an evacuation map is created with evacuation routes and rally points. When evacuation alerts occur, residents will be notified with additional instructions. To learn more about fire prevention methods in both urban and rural areas, Cal Fire offers a planning and action site at www. readyforwildfire.org where one can create a personalized preparedness checklist with wildfire action, evacuation and communication plans specific to their home, neighborhood and zip code.
New Beginnings...
Alert systems During the LNU Fire, communication and alert glitches (IT) were reported in Yolo, Napa and Solano Countie. Communication glitches between Yolo and Solano Counties hampered Greater Winters residents, and the Express, from getting real-time information during the fire. “Solano OES and

Express Yourself Carboni’s — Change is in the air
G
ordon Ramsey has said that “a restaurant owner’s best investment is a chef.” The guy has to be a motivator, a leader, has to make you money, and bring customers back.” Carboni’s is the underappreciated restaurant of Winters. Yes, it’s the new game in town. Yes, there are often out-of-town hotel guests congregated in the bar. But, if you want well-done Italian food, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better option within 100 miles, except maybe Osteria Fasulo in Davis. The menu changes often enough to keep it fresh while maintaining classic staples like Cacio e Pepe, ricotta meatballs, a staple selection of pizzas, and their burger which is just about the only non-Italian option. The Rigatoni Al Forno is also a go-to. Honestly, aside from making it myself, Carboni’s Cacio e Pepe is the best I’ve had outside of Rome. It is a deliciously simple creamy dish, correctly made with Pecorino cheese, pepper and bucatini pasta. Aside from the kitchen’s propensity to put chives on top (order it without for the correct plating), it could be straight out of Rome.
Don’t forget about the pastries and gelato at the coffee bar. The Semifreddo Cioccolato is to Carboni’s what the Lemon Bars are to Putah Creek. If you follow the restaurant’s Instagram account, you often get first notification when new desserts are available. I admit I have snuck over late before closing once or twice to try a cake, tarte or cannoli posted shortly before. I have talked to a number of people who do not like the food. Universally, when asked, they tell me they visited in the first couple months before the pandemic. Honestly, I agree with them on the initial menu. The food was improperly cooked, the meat dish I ordered was barely recognizable as the cut it was supposed to be, and half the menu was unavailable. Chaos and confusion could describe that kitchen. Chef Dan Nguyen took over the kitchen when Carboni’s re-opened after the initial COVID shutdowns in May 2020.
Carboni’s fits perfectly into the Winters restaurant market. The change was night and day: the pasta made in-house, seasonal menus, daily specials, wagyu flat iron. If you’ve ever talked to me about food you know my affinity for a good chef’s prix fixe tasting menu. Chef Nguyen creates them at just the right price point for special occasions. The Valentine’s Day 2021 menu was $50 for three courses. New Year’s this year was $145 for five courses with wine pairing. While neither are “budget” priced, both menus are extremely reasonable for the amount of food you get on nights other restaurants often charge much more. And it is good food. Its weekend brunch is the best kept secret. It is hard to compete for customers with an established
staple like Putah Creek Café, so tables are plentiful. But as the weather warms, if you find yourself waiting a long time for a table on the weekend, walk to the other corner of the block and give Carboni’s a try. Mind-bogglingly, Carboni’s is making a change. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Food at Carboni’s is definitely not broken. March 30 is Chef Nguyen’s last day. I’ve heard from a couple people the reason is allegedly the owners want to change the menu to something else. Why they wouldn’t let their chef create the menu is beyond me, that is a primary job of a Chef. I have heard the new proposed menu described as comfort food, Olive Garden-esque, something it is currently not, and the bar staff seems uncertain what it will be. I am not sure what the exact issue is with the way things have been, but change is coming for better or worse. I have to ask, “why?” The restaurant has been perfectly executed for Winters clientele and it is consistently excellent. Carboni’s fits perfectly into the Winters restaurant market.

Renovations that pay off when it comes to selling Special to the Express If you’ve spent the pandemic looking around your home and deciding you need something different, you might be pondering a move up. To maximize what you get for your home, you might be pondering a few renovation projects. Here are the projects that net you the biggest return on your investment according to HGTV.
Landscaping The average. Homeowner spends about $4,000 on landscaping,
the American Nursery Landscape Association says, and HGTV says your average return is 100 percent. Add new sod to the front yard and pick native flowering plants for a pop of color at the front of the house. Nix overgrown shrubbery and mix the heights of foliage for a dramatic effect.
of it back. Use paint color cards to choose color combinations. Make sure you test for lead before painting or sanding if your home was built before 1978. It could have lead in the paint, which can be harmful to humans.
Exterior improvements
The kitchen is the heart of the home and it will run you about $45,000 for a major renovation that covers new cabinets, an island, countertops, sink, appliances and flooring. HGTV suggests removing over-counter cabinets and making countertops work for you by creating an eating bar. Stick with neutral
New vinyl siding, paint and updating the front entry will run you a little more than $7,000 and you’ll get about 95 percent

CARBONI’S Continued from Page 1 It’s fresh, elevated, classic Italian food priced as affordable as good food can be, with ever-changing yet comfortably stable variety. They even make their own Limoncello in house. They are neither the cheapest nor most expensive restaurant in town (most entrées cost between $18 – $26) but the price to value is just right for a nice night out. It seems to me Chef Nguyen meets Gordon Ramsey’s requirements for a chef. You can see through the kitchen windows that he motivates his staff, he brings customers
back, and — based on the fact that the entire kitchen staff save two has quit in protest — it is safe to say he has been a leader others want to work for. I can’t speak to whether he makes the owners money, but that seems like the most fixable criteria if he doesn’t. I am anxious to see what the new menu and chef will bring. I hope Carboni’s doesn’t change from a new favorite to, “that place we used to like.” I fear with having to hire a whole new kitchen, the later may be reality in the near term regardless of the menu until they find their groove. Updates to follow.

Petitioner's name is: Mollie Kay Duncan Smith CASE NUMBER: 198972 You have 30 CALENDAR DAYS after this summons and petition are served on you to file a Response (form FL-120) at the court and have a copy served on the petitioner. A letter, phone call, or court appearance will not protect you. If you do not file your Response on time, the court may make orders affecting your marriage or domestic partnership, your property, and custody of your children. You may be ordered to pay support and attorney fees and costs. For legal advice, contact a lawyer immediately. Get help finding a lawyer at the California Courts Online Self-Help Center (www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp), at the California Legals Services website (www.lawhelpca.org), or by contacting your local county bar association. NOTICE—RESTRAINING ORDERS: These restraining orders are effective against both spouses or domestic partners until the petition is dismissed, a judgment is entered, or the court makes further orders. They are enforceable anywhere in California by any law enforcement officer who has received or seen a copy of them. FEE WAIVER: If you cannot pay the filing fee, ask the clerk for a fee waiver form. The court may order you to pay back all or part of the fees and costs that the court waived for you or the other party. 1. The name and address of the court are Shasta County Superior Court 1500 Court St., Rm. 319 Redding, CA 96001 2. The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner's attorney, or the petitioner without an attorney, are: Mollie Kay Duncan Smith 595 Rafael St. Redding, CA 96002 530-921-0242 Date JAN 24 2022 Clerk, by C. West, Deputy STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from: 1. removing the minor children of the parties from the state or applying for a new or replacement passport for those minor children without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor children; 3. transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life, and 4. creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasi-community property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs. NOTICE-ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH INSURANCE: Do you or someone in your household need affordable health insurance? If so, you should apply for Covered California. Covered California can help reduce the cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For more information, visit www.coveredca.com. Or call Covered California at 1-800-3001506. WARNING-IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. Published March 23, 30, April 6, 13, 2022 #105

Dante Marsh - lead singer, Drake Freeman - bassist, Jon Millsap - lead guitarist, Tim Costa - percussionist, and Gerald Purify - drummer.

Celebrating WINTERS YOUTH DAY & FAMILY FUN WEEK Duck Derby, Parade, Food & More! Adobe/Stock
The way to tell a Swainson’s hawk from a red-tailed hawk is by looking at the underside of the wing. The red-tailed hawk will have a dark leading edge of the wing while the Swainson’s hawk wing will be lighter at the leading edge.
HAWK Continued from Page 1 between light and dark. The way to tell a Swainson’s hawk from a red-tailed hawk is by looking at the underside of the wing. The red-tailed hawk will have a dark leading edge of the wing while the Swainson’s hawk wing will be lighter at the leading edge. The red-tailed hawk will have a “belly band” of color next to a white chest, while the Swainson’s hawk will have a lighter belly than their chest color. In 1983, the State of California declared the Swainson’s hawk to be threatened according to the criteria set by the California Endangered Species Act. Since then the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has confirmed the need for special government protection for this species. By the end of March in California,
about 2,000 Swainson’s hawk pairs will be preparing nests to take care of eggs. If you witness harassment of hawks, contact the CDFW hot line at 888-334-CALTIP (888 334-2258), 24 hours a day, seven days a week or you may submit anonymous tips to CDFW using tip411 . By April, Swainson’s Hawk pairs are in nest building, or rebuilding, mode. They will build at the site of their last nest, or in a suitable tree nearby. Nests are usually in tall, older trees, near the top of the tree. To locate one, watch for hawks flying in and out of a tree with sticks in their beaks. The chicks would have started flying from the nest by July 1. They start learning by climbing out of the nest on branches, called “branching.” This is a very exciting time for hawk nest watchers. Our nesting hawk pairs need nearby foraging areas to
feed a new generation of our most endangered raptor in California. The best foraging is alfalfa fields and irrigated pasture because this is where the highest value prey are found in large numbers for the longest period of time. The favorite prey for feeding the young are small field mice, squirrels, rabbits, and voles. The biggest threat to the breeding success of the Swainson’s hawk is the loss of foraging grounds, largely as a result of urbanization of agricultural land.
