Green River Brewing & Taproom owners began constructing a new stage that faces away from the City of Winters following complaints about noise carrying across Putah Creek during concerts and everyday meal orders.

Green River Taproom investing in new events stage, noise reduction efforts

By Rick von Geldern Express staff writer

EXPRESS

This past summer, Winters residents and business owners complained regarding music and food order announcements that carried across county lines and into town from Green River Brewing & Taproom.

Green River owner John Neil said he takes his relationship with neighbors seriously. The popular establishment sits across Putah Creek from Winters and offers a recreation park, craft beers, food and live entertain-

ment.

“My job is to keep my neighbors happy,” Neil said. “We’re on a good track with this.”

The problem was that music and announcements traveled from the performance stage facing Winters into downtown. When bands played Neil said his team regularly checked and confirmed permissible sound decibel readings, but there was a bigger problem.

Even when decibel readings were permissible at the property line, it turned out the sound was reflecting off the water in Putah Creek and carrying into downtown Winters.

The physics of sound are that soundwaves travel further across water, as noted by

many who have sat on a lake shore and clearly overheard a conversation from a boat a hundred yards away.

Neil and his management team have worked on methods and invested in systems to reduce and eliminate noise disturbances traveling into Winters. Along with training staff on protocols, Neil spent thousands of dollars to build a new south facing performance stage directing sound away from Winters.

The Green River team is also requiring bands to use specific amplification speakers, is investing in a new sound system, and has established sound barriers.

Green River also purchased a new point-of-sale system

that texts customers’ cellphones when their food orders are ready, eliminating loudspeaker announcements.

Working with the City of Winters, businesses and neighbors, Neil said that if bands don’t adhere to their sound requirements, “they won’t play.”

Neil told the Express they are pleased with how the new stage has quieted things down.

“We did sound decibel checks the last two weeks. We got it down to 40-44 decibels,” Neil said. “I’m stoked about that. Turning to a new stage facing away from town really helped.”

As the outdoor season opens, Green River is scheduling bands,

Reisig ad denounces challenger’s donors; Winters candidate calls it ‘dirty tactics’

Drain standing water to prevent local mosquito breeding

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy McNaughton Media The recent rain, combined with warm temperatures in the days ahead, make for the perfect breeding ground for mosquitos.

That’s why the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District is urging everyone to “drain the rain” to protect against mosquito-borne illnesses.

“Mosquitoes complete their life cycle much faster in warm weather,” said district manager Gary Goodman. “We urge all residents to do their part and help us drain standing water from common backyard sources such as buckets, flower pots, bird baths, old tires and other small containers that may breed mosquitoes.

“Getting rid of ar-

eas where mosquitoes can breed now will go a long way later in the season,” he added.

This is especially important for the prevention of invasive mosquitoes which have been rapidly spreading throughout the district since 2019.

Last year, invasive mosquitoes were found for the first time in Elk Grove and the city of Sacramento along with other known areas in Yolo and Sacramento counties, including Winters.

Invasive mosquitoes are a public health threat and are capable of transmitting debilitating diseases such as Zika, dengue and chikungunya, the district warned, adding that with the beginning of spring, along with dry and warm weather conditions, mosquitoes will likely keep thriving In addition to draining standing water, “the best protection against mosquitoes is to wear an effective mosquito repellent when spending time outdoors,” Goodman said.

BREAKFAST || LUNCH || DINNER Open for dinner seven nights a week!

The race for Yolo County district attorney recently took a contentious turn, when incumbent DA Jeff Reisig released an ad accusing his challenger, Cynthia Rodriguez, of taking campaign contributions “connected to convicted sex offenders and child rapists seeking a soft on crime district attorney.”

Rodriguez, a Winters resident, told the Express’ sister publication Davis Enterprise the ad’s allegations are inaccurate and amount to “dirty campaign tactics.”

Reisig identified the donors as Woodland resident Brett Pedroia, who is listed in campaign finance documents as giving Rodriguez’s campaign two donations totaling $3,500; and Sanjay Dev, the brother of former Davis resident Ajay Dev, who gave $500.

“This is a perverted assault on the integrity of the DA’s office,” Reisig said this week.

“Rodriguez needs to return every dollar she took from Pedroia and Dev and apologize to the victims in those cases and every victim of child molestation and rape in Yolo County. I’m going to talk about this every day of the campaign until that happens.”

Harriet Salarno, founder and chairwoman of the advocacy organization Crime Victims United, released a statement Wednesday calling the donations’ acceptance “an affront to all victims and demonstrates a clear lack of character on Rodriguez’s part.” She, too, called for Rodriguez to return the money and apologize.

“It’s such a dirty tactic,” Rodriguez said of Reisig’s ad, ”I don’t feel it deserves much response. I believe Yolo County voters deserve a campaign focused on the issues — public safety, homelessness, mental health, drug abuse, discrimination and transparency — and I’ll continue to focus on those.”

However, Rodri-

“I believe Yolo County voters deserve a campaign focused on the issues — public safety, homelessness, mental health, drug abuse, discrimination and transparency — and I’ll continue to focus on those.”

Cynthia Rodriguez, challenger guez noted that her campaign has forwarded one donor’s contribution — she declined to specify whose — to Empower Yolo, which provides services to domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, human trafficking and child abuse victims.

As for the claim she’s soft on crime, “that’s a strawman argument. It’s completely inaccurate,” Rodriguez said.

Donors respond Pedroia, who pleaded guilty to a sex offense in his 2009 case, said the act occurred while he was in the throes of a drug addiction from which he’d since recovered.

Prosecutors sought a state prison term, but Judge Paul Richardson sentenced him to a year in county jail, eight years of probation and sex-offender registration.

Reached for comment, Pedroia said his family, which collectively made the contribution, doesn’t know Rodriguez but considers her the best candidate for DA. He confirmed they have since contacted her campaign to request the funds go to a local nonprofit.

Pedroia called Reisig’s ad “hurtful” and “a very low blow” in light of his recovery and those of other former addicts.

“I’ve worked extremely hard throughout my treatment, including therapy and victim empathy.

I would have thought Mr. Reisig would be proud of me, on how I turned my life around, like he shows through his reforms,” Pedroia said, adding that many of Reisig’s donors are Pedroia’s personal friends. “It’s OK for him to treat me like this, but I hope

that he doesn’t have those same feelings for all those reform graduates that the community was proud to witness.”

Ajay Dev is serving a 378-year prison sentence following his 2009 conviction on charges of repeatedly raping his adopted daughter. He has maintained his innocence, saying the alleged victim manufactured the rape claims after Dev thwarted her dating relationship.

Dev appealed his conviction, asserting that trial errors denied him a fair proceeding, but the Third District Court of Appeal upheld the decision in 2017. His attorneys have since filed a writ of habeas corpus — a legal petition challenging a defendant’s conviction and/or sentencing — that’s being heard in Yolo Superior Court.

His brother Sanjay Dev said he and his family supported Reisig in his first campaign, but now back Rodriguez because Reisig “took my belief away from the justice system.”

“I think she will be fair and objective and not of the mentality (of) ‘win by any means necessary,’” Dev said.

“I believe that someday someone will restore my faith in the justice system, and that could be very well Mr. Reisig, but he will have to show by example, and not with ads that try to scare and destroy someone’s character. Has anyone questioned why there would be more than 1,000 people supporting a convicted rapist unless something is wrong somewhere in the justice system?”

Cache Creek Regional Park reopens campground to public

Yolo Audubon offering field trip to Cache Creek

Cache Creek Regional Park

Special to the Express

Yolo County Supervisor Angel Barajas, Guinda resident Wyatt Cline, facilities superintendent Jason Eisenhart and park staff open the doors to the Cache Creek Canyon Regional Park.

Special to the Express Cache Creek Canyon Regional Park reopened all of its 45 campground sites and four group sites as of Friday, April 1.

Cache Creek Canyon Regional Park is located approximately six miles north of the town of Rumsey along State Highway 16, providing over 600 acres of natural wilderness. The Regional Park is divided into three use areas: the Cache Creek Upper Park Site, the Cache Creek Middle Campground Park Site, and the Cache Creek Lower Park Site.

The three park use areas offer a range of activities such as white water rafting, rural hiking, kayaking, fishing, and nature walks.

Back in April 2020, when the Yolo County Shelter in Place Order came out, all Yolo county parks closed.

Despite parks reopening in May 2020, Cache Creek Campground remained closed. With high restrictions, the campground reopened some of its sites in late June 2020.

In August 2020, the campground had to, once again, fully shut down due to the LNU fires. It remained closed until late September 2020, but then closed for the season only a few days later.

For the 2021 camping season, Cache Creek Campground opened its doors, but once again with limited sites, no group sites and high restrictions.

Earlier this month, Yolo County Supervisor Angel Barajas, residents and county staff helped open the doors to the 2022 camping season that will be open from April 1 to Oct. 10 with no restrictions.

Live theatre returns in Spring Fling pop-up show

Campers are encouraged to secure a reservation at http://camping.yolocounty. org.

The current Cache Creek Campground fees include: • Individual campsites No. 1–45 for all visitors: $35 per night (no refunds) • Dogs at campground: $5 per dog/night, and each dog must be licensed (owner must provide proof of license) • Dump Station Use: $6 for non-campers • Shower token: $5 per five minutes • Firewood: $5 per bundle • Extra vehicles: $10 per vehicle/per night

Harnawaz Boparai will lead the trip to Cache Creek Nature Preserve, located just off the Cache Creek Watershed in Woodland. The walk will be on established trails that are mostly flat.

Cache Creek Nature Preserve, a private/ non-profit outdoor preserve, has gone through more than 25 years of habitat restoration work. The group will be looking for resident species and those that winter here. A combination of wetland, riparian forest, creek, and grassland habitats will provide an opportunity to see a variety of birds.

Wood ducks, tree swallows, western kingbirds, pied-billed grebes, and lots of red-winged black-

birds are common. There are also occasional sightings of ash-throated flycatchers, American white pelicans, whitefaced ibis and common gallinules.

The group will meet at 7 a.m. at the parking lot of Cache Creek Nature Preserve, 34199 Co Rd 20, Woodland. The trip will conclude at around 10 a.m. Participants should bring water, binoculars and spotting scopes.

There is also a limited supply of additional binoculars as loaners. Rain or strong wind would cancel the trip.

Additional information and contact information can be found at yoloaudubon.org or yoloaudubon.facebook.com.

Yolo Audubon, a chapter of the National Audubon Society, is a non-profit organization whose mission is to foster an appreciation of birds and conservation in Yolo County. The group is offering live and virtual events in an effort to educate and inform the public about birds and birdwatching.

This event is one of a series offered through June as part of a grant provided by HHMI Tangled Bank Studios and PBS Nature through a partnership with Winters Community Library and UCCE Master Gardeners. The two organizations collaborated to plan

old roads, improve campsite access, make public safety improvements and increase access for emergency vehicles. In 2017, Drake said most of the campground was underwater which caused damage to the roads and campsites were damaged in the recent wildfires.

The funding package also delivers $5 million to reactivate the Sacramento River basin flood plain and restore salmon habitat. Putah Creek Streamkeeper Max Stevenson said of the funding, “It’s exactly what I want to see happen,” adding that this year’s salmon run was disappointing.

According to Garamendi’s description of the project to Congress, the project is to provide fish-rearing habitat, generate fish food, improve fish passage, and enhance the overall ecosystem.

“Decades of established science have now proven that increasing the duration of continuously flooded acres increases high-quality habitat, rich in food resources, that support the development, growth, and survival of salmon,” Garamendi said.

“Additionally, shallow, inundated floodplains produce high densities of zooplankton and invertebrates that are important food sources for salmon and other federally protected species.”

Green River history The Neil family has owned the property for decades. Neil shared some of the history behind the name “Green River.”

"This program helps the County reach its SB 1383 requirements, and it also supports our Sustainable Environment and Flourishing Agriculture strategic plan goals," said Board Chair, Supervisor Angel Barajas.

"As residents and businesses in our County start segregating green waste and food waste from their trash, this shows the full circle of how and why these new regulations benefit our community."

The compost comes from the anaerobic composter cells that started operating at the Landfill in 2019.

The composter has an annual capacity of 52,000 tons per year and uses anaerobic bacteria to decompose or-

along Putah Creek, the current site of Green River.

In an interview Fogerty gave to Rolling Stone in 2012, he said, “… it was actually called Putah Creek by Winters, Calif. It wasn’t called Green River, but in my mind, I always sort of called it Green River.”

The cabins where Fogerty vacationed are now long-gone and the venue has since been aptly named Green River Brewing & Taproom.

The Neil family took full ownership of Green River on March 1 following the transition of ownership from the original four owners in the fall of 2021.

Brock Neil told the Express the family had a long-term goal of taking ownership of the business and moving forward as a family.

ganic waste, a mixture of green waste and food waste, in a sealed environment.

This decomposition process takes less than six months to complete and provides many benefits, including diverting organic waste from the Landfill, producing renewable energy, reducing water use and carbon emissions, and creating compost. The composting process achieves temperatures greater than 130 degrees Fahrenheit and meets the requirements of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations §17855, destroying pathogens and weed seeds.

United States Composting Council laboratory tested the compost, and the Organic Materials Review Institute certified it for use in certified organic production.

Baseball battles against Colusa, twice

By Sydney Andrade Express staff writer The Winters High School varsity baseball team went head-to-head with Colusa High School twice last week.

On Tuesday, March 29, the varsity baseball team lost its away conference game against Colusa by a score of 8-1, and then lost to Colusa again on Friday, April 1 by a score of 3-2.

While the Warriors didn’t come out victorious they put up quite a fight during their second game against Colusa during their home game on Friday, playing a very entertaining game — until they lost by one run in an extra inning.

Isaiah Pazmino had a great day at bat, taking advantage of his single hit and base on balls, getting both runs in for the Warriors. Connor Ray also batted well during the game against Colusa but was left stranded on third twice, unable to make it across home plate. Matt Moore and Justice Madsen were consistent in making contact at bat but were both forced out by Colusa’s defense. While Madsen wasn’t able to get on base during Friday's game, he did hit an RBI in the first inning, which is when Pazmino scored the first

point for the Warriors.

Moore and Madsen both took the mound, pitching for the Warriors. Moore and Madsen both pitched a great game and Winter's defense made some very impressive plays. Colusa was swinging for the fences, putting constant pressure on the Warriors outfielders.

Logan Spears played an

excellent defensive game, leading the team with five putouts. First and second basemen, Anthony Duran and Derrick Olson were also key players on the defensive side of the ball.

While the Warriors played a great defensive game all around there were three plays involving Winters catcher Ray that had the dugouts and War-

Matt Moore, a senior at Winters High School, is the Pisani’s Athlete of the Week. Moore is a three-sport athlete playing football, basketball and now baseball.

“Matt has done an outstanding job pitching for us,” said varsity baseball coach Jeff Ingles. In addition to Moore’s athletic ability, all three of his coaches have praised Moore for having excellent leadership abilities and making contributions to his team this year.

Evento del Día de la Juventud Voluntarios de cena comunitaria de Winters se retiran en medio en busca de nominaciones a Gran Mariscal, voluntarios de preocupaciones por gastos Por Crystal Apilado Traducido por Carol Alfonso Los esfuerzos de planificación para traer de vuelta el evento anual del Día de la Juventud de Winters (Winters Youth Day) continúan a medida que más oportunidades para que los miembros de la comunidad participen y los detalles del evento se dieron a conocer la semana pasada.

El evento está programado para el Sábado 30 de Abril.

El tema de este año es “Youthfully Ever After (Juveniles Por Siempre).” Múltiples eventos y actividades aún están en proceso.

El Desfile El Comité del Día de la Juventud de Winters (Winters Youth Day Committee) está buscando nominaciones para un Gran Mariscal que encabece el 84º Desfile del Día de la Juventud de Winters el Sábado 30 de Abril. El nominado debe tener alguna conexión o representación de trabajar con o apoyar a la juventud de Winters. Las nominaciones deben presentarse el 10 de Abril y deben enviarse a Mike Sebastian a mjsebast63@ gmail.com o mediante un mensaje directo en Facebook Messenger.

El Winters Youth Day Committee también está buscando voluntarios para permanecer junto a las barricadas de cierre de calles, ayudar a alinear las entradas en cada división del Desfile y administrar el área de registro en la calle West Main Street.

Evento en Main Street. Se necesitarán voluntarios para el desfile de 8 a 11:30 a. m. Los mariscales a caballos comenzarán a las 7 a. m. Los voluntarios interesados​​ deben comunicarse con Sebastian.

La ruta del des-

file para el evento se ha acortado. La ruta comenzará en las calles Fourth y Main Street. Bajará por Main Street, girará a la izquierda en First Street y continuará hasta terminar en Edwards Street. El Desfile no bajará a Baker Street como en años anteriores.

Esto se ha hecho para evitar bloquear el acceso al centro de la ciudad (downtown).

Las tribunas del desfile permanecerán frente a Anytime Fitness y frente al Ayuntamiento.

Los formularios de inscripción para el desfile principal (Main Parade) y el desfile infantil (Kiddie Parade) están disponibles en el sitio web del Día de la Juventud, https://www. wintersyouthday. com.

Las entradas para el desfile infantil se pueden entregar o completar en la mañana del desfile a partir de las 8:45 a. m. en la esquina de las calles Fourth y Main.

Los jueces verán una vista previa de las entradas para el desfile infantil (Kiddie Parade) a partir de las 9:15 a.m. y el desfile infantil a partir de las 9:45 a.m.

Las categorías para el desfile infantil están disponibles en la página de información del ‘Kiddie Parade.’

La fecha límite para devolver los formularios de inscripción para el Desfile Principal (Main Parade) es el 15 de Abril. No hay cuota de inscripción para participar.

Carrera de patitos (Duck Derby) La venta de entradas de patitos para el evento de la carrera de patitos (Duck Derby) está oficialmente abierta a la comunidad. La venta de entradas de patitos

sirve para recaudar fondos para el evento del Día de la Juventud. Hay $1,000 en efectivo en juego para tres de los participantes de patitos afortunados ganadores.

Las entradas de patitos cuestan $10 y los compradores recibirán una entrada gratis por cada cinco que compren. Las ventas de patitos en persona comenzarán en Abril.

La carrera de patitos (Duck Derby) está programado para el Viernes 29 de Abril a las 6 p.m.

También hay una busqueda de patitos en el centro (downtown) programada para las 3 p.m. para que las familias participen el Viernes.

La carrera de patitos (Duck Derby) se transmitirá en vivo en la página del Winters Express en Facebook @WintersExpress.

Noche de película (Movie Night) La experiencia del autocine del pasado año regresa el Viernes 29 de Abril. Los miembros de la comunidad pueden ver ‘Disney’s Encanto’ en una pantalla ampliable de 25 pies. Los asistentes deberán traer su propia radio para escuchar el audio.

Green River Brewing & Taproom está organizando el evento en su parque, y la oficina de State Farm de Andy Pignatero está patrocinando el evento.

Por Rick von Geldern Traducido por Carol Alfonso Tres voluntarios que ayudan a organizar la anual Cena Comunitaria de Winters (Winters Community Dinner - WCD) se han retirado de la organización del evento anual del Día de Acción de Gracias después de que surgieron preguntas sobre sus gastos.

Las renuncias siguen a la partida de su fundadora, Marie Rojo-Heilman, en Enero.

Rojo-Heilman inició la entidad Winters Community Dinner hace 21 años para satisfacer las necesidades de las personas mayores y discapacitadas que no pueden salir de sus hogares o no tienen una familia con quien comer, y para las familias en crisis que necesitan un poco más de apoyo y atención.

Las voluntarias Lisa Gonsalves y Gwen Pisani dejaron de ser voluntarias para los esfuerzos de la WCD en Enero, luego de consultar con un abogado acerca de que la entidad no es una organización sin fines de lucro registrada y compartir inquietudes sobre cómo se han gastado algunos de los fondos de la WCD. Gonsalves y Pisani hablaron con el Winters Express sobre esas preocupaciones, al saber, que los fondos recaudados para la cena anual de Acción de Gracias se gastaron en compras

no relacionadas con el evento.

Emily Back, otra voluntaria, se negó a comentar sobre la situación, pero escribió al Winters Express en Marzo para anunciar su renuncia a la WCD “debido a la apropiación indebida de fondos por parte de otro miembro.”

Las grietas en la organización sin fines de lucro surgieron en el otoño del 2021 cuando los voluntarios del comité se prepararon para recaudar fondos, solicitar donaciones, enviar cartas y coordinar cenas de Acción de Gracias. Según Rojo-Heilman, la administradora de la ciudad, Kathleen Salguero Trepa, se acercó a la WCD con respecto a su cuestionable estado sin fines de lucro después de leer sobre la cena en el Winters Express, que erróneamente informó que era un 501 (c) (3).

En Noviembre del 2020, Trepa dijo que donó $670 de sus ganancias de un boleto de lotería del Club Rotario de Martínez a la WCD después de ver un artículo que buscaba donaciones

en el Winters Express.

Trepa solicitó un recibo de impuestos por la donación y recibió de Rojo-Heilman un folleto del evento con un número de identificación de contribuyente. Solo más tarde se enteró de que WCD no es una organización sin fines de lucro.

El asunto no volvió a surgir hasta Octubre del 2021, cuando comenzaron a aparecer anuncios en la ciudad para la cena y en busca de donaciones con el número de identificación fiscal todavía en la lista. Y, el volante mencionaba que la cena estaría utilizando el centro comunitario, pero el permiso para usarlo no había sido solicitado ni otorgado por la Ciudad. Trepa contactó a Rojo-Heilman sobre el estado de la ‘organización sin fines de lucro.’

En medio de los esfuerzos de organización para la cena del 2021, Pisani dijo que Rojo-Heilman les reveló a los otros voluntarios que, de hecho, la organización nunca había sido

County justice partners apply for grant funding to develop, expand diversion program options

By John Fout Special to the Express The Yolo County District Attorney’s office, the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), Public Defender, and Probation will seek state funding to add additional diversion options by developing and expanding the County’s current mental health and drug treatment programs. There will be two projects proposed, one administered by the DA and the other by HHSA. Funding received will be prioritized for involved treatment providers.

As part of the proposal process, the DA and partner agencies will hold public meetings to share project ideas and receive input from community members and consumers regarding areas of need and preferred approaches for addressing the issues of substance use and mental health. These Northern Bank para comenzar a poner las cosas en orden para el proceso de solicitud de estatus sin fines de lucro.

Antes del Día de Acción de Gracias, Gonsalves le pidió a Rojo-Heilman registros financieros y recibos y, a fines de Diciembre, le dijeron que no tenía ninguno. Según Gonsalves, en Diciembre Pisani y otros examinaron los cheques y los registros bancarios y comenzaron a preocuparse por la actividad de gasto en la cuenta. Pisani dijo que identificó, como mínimo, cuatro cheques en los que su nombre había sido falsificado como doble firmante.

Additionally, members will be solicited for a diverse Local Advisory Committee composed of various stakeholders, community partners, consumers,

Committee meetings will be publicly announced and open to the public.

“Queremos brindar apoyo a la comunidad durante todo el año. Es un trabajo en progreso.”

Gwen Pisani, voluntaria con Rojo-Heilman en Enero, “la llamaron a la alfombra” y “le pidieron que se retirara.” Rojo-Heilman le dijo al grupo que renunciaba y que eliminaría su nombre de la cuenta bancaria al día siguiente. Rojo-Heilman le dijo al Winters Express que ya estaba planeando una salida de la junta, citando razones de salud.

Las voluntarias Pisani, Gonsalves y Back revisaron

cheques que se remontan al 2016. Un ejemplo preocupante que citan es una compra del 2021 en Sam’s Club en Folsom el 26 de Noviembre, el día después del Día de Acción de Gracias, por un monto de $1434.49. Rojo-Heilman dijo que los fondos se usaron para canastas navideñas.

Her platform emphasizes approaching public safety with “integrity and compassion,” saying Yolo County has experienced “ineffective” mass incarceration, overcharged cases and bias against marginalized communities under Reisig’s watch.

Reisig, who is seeking his fifth term, was a local prosecutor for 10 years before his election to district attorney in 2006. He also serves dijo Rojo-Heilman al Winters Express. “La financiación que ingresa no es solo para el Día de Acción de Gracias.”

Durante años, Rojo-Heilman ha estado entre los voluntarios más involucrados de Winters, una columna vertebral para los esfuerzos de voluntariado como el Winters Youth Day, Meals on Wheels y Bread Ministry.

Cuando se le preguntó si desvió fondos de la WCD para su uso personal, Rojo-Heilman respondió: “No para mi uso personal.

Se devolvió a la comunidad. Sigo sirviendo a la gente y sirvo a los más necesitados,” y agregó: “Me gusta servir con todo mi corazón.”

He acknowledges being tough on violent criminals and sex offenders but also points to his office’s creation of restorative justice and treatment-based diversion programs as well as a race-blind charging unit among his reform efforts.

Campaign finance documents filed on Jan. 31, covering the donation period of July 1 to Dec. 31, 2021, show that Reisig received $65,950 in cash contributions, while Rodriguez collected $57,490. Donations for the 2021 calendar year totaled $62,378 for Rodriguez, who announced her candidacy last May, and $100,606 for Reisig. comentarios,” dijo Rojo-Heilman.

Gonsalves dice que las renuncias hasta ahora son un esfuerzo para responsabilizar al grupo por el uso cuestionable de los fondos comunitarios.

Se están realizando esfuerzos para incorporar una nueva organización sin fines de lucro que brindará servicios similares durante todo el año, y transferir fondos anteriores a la nueva organización una vez que se haya establecido.

“Estamos de pie frente a esto,” dijo Gonsalves. “Seguiremos hacia adelante.”

“Queremos brindar apoyo a la comunidad durante todo el año,” dijo Pisani. “Es un trabajo en progreso.”

Barber returns to Main Street

By Aaron Geerts Express staff writer There are a few certainties in life: death, taxes and the need for a good haircut. Luckily for Winters, Elevate Barbershop has joined Main Street’s all-star lineup to keep the community looking as fresh as the produce its known for.

Although the Winters Barber Co. has closed its doors, one of its barbers — Miguel Fierros — is keeping its spirit alive by opening the doors of his new barbershop, Elevate. Born and raised in Winters, cutting hair is a passion Fierros picked up one day and never let go of.

“The first time I grabbed the clippers was 11 years ago when I was in high school. I started just messing around with the clippers with my brothers and something about it felt right, so I just kept doing it. It’s weird to explain, but it just clicked,” Fierros said explaining how he discovered his craft. “As far as I know, I’m the first barber in the family. I asked my parents if there were any others in the family and they just said, ‘No, you’re the only one. We don’t know where you got it from.’”

Now with years of experience under his belt, Fierros’ dream of being a barber/business owner in his hometown is finally coming to fruition.

“I’ve always had that dream of owning my own shop. Specifically in Winters, because it’d be great to be part of the community where I grew up.

I guess I was just waiting for the right time,” said Fierros.

“Something I’ve always wanted was a shop with big windows because I love the idea of

Miguel Fierros opened the doors at Elevate Barbershop on Main Street at the end of March. people walking by, seeing me work and seeing the shop that matches my vision and style.

It just came together because I got an opportunity to get this building on Main Street, and what do you know, big windows and it just worked out.”

Fierros isn’t alone in realizing his dream, however. The other barbers from the Winters Barber Co. — who also happen to be good friends and

apprentices of Fierros — will be joining him as will the lessons of business ownership he picked up from his old boss Willis Jimenez, who will also join him.

“I’ve been used to just renting a chair, doing my work and heading home. So, I asked Willis questions and for tips and he helped me out with that and

New Anytime Fitness owner lifts business to new heights

By Aaron Geerts Express staff writer For a little over a decade, Anytime Fitness (AF) has been Winters’ go-to oasis for exercise. Although a new owner is taking the reins, the changes on the horizon promise plenty for the town’s gym-goers to get excited about.

New owner Grant Witham had a humble entry into fitness. In fact, he didn’t make exercising a habit until friends took him to the recreation center at Sonoma State.

Years later, the Santa Rosa native was working retail and needed a gym that accommodated his late hours.

Anytime Fitness was his answer, and it didn’t take long for him to change from member to owner, and from owner to multiple-club owner.

“Like everybody at the club now, I was a member for about four or five years before deciding I wanted to get involved in the Anytime franchise.

I was lucky with that first one to get help from my mom and dad,” Witham said explaining his Anytime Fitness genesis. “It took off from there. I scrubbed toilets, sold memberships and did everything for the first few years before opening a gym in Fairfield.”

Unfortunately,

Grant Witham (left) is the new owner at Anytime Fitness location. Gwen Pisani will be showing him the ropes of how the Winters location has been running to transition him in.

Witham’s father was diagnosed with cancer shortly after his purchase of his second gym in Fairfield.

Prioritizing family over fortune, Witham opted to sell that gym and spent quality time with his father before his passing in 2017.

After that, Witham

was more motivated than ever to go allout with his AF franchising and has since added ownership of four more gyms to his resume.

“I’d had my eye on Winters for a while when I owned the gym in Fairfield. I’d come down a couple times

to chat with Gwen – she’s amazing – and see what her club was like and had always thought this was such a cool town and a great place for a gym,” Witham explained his decision to own the gym in Winters. “It

Creating a home office More and more people are resetting a room in their home in order to provide dedicated office space.

Location matters If the pandemic-driven move to remote work has taught us anything, it’s that your home office becomes a huge part of your everyday life. So don’t cheat yourself out of needed space.

Rework your guest room, rather than wedging a small desk into some windowless closet. Also consider ambient noise

and foot traffic from family and friends in your area. If you need peace and quiet to work well, or if clients will be stopping by, that should factor into your plans, too.

Form vs. function Focus on your workflow when arranging the furniture so everything you need is at hand, but don’t let the home office become the new version of your boring old cubicle. Make selections that complement the rest of your decor, and add pieces like a

Organize vertically, too Most home offices put space at a premium, meaning there’s only so much area to be found on horizontal surfaces like a desk.

Express Yourself A window to Winters time

By Kelly Linville Special to the Express Rewind to 2018 to 2019. A year we had no idea the big bug would come to town.

We were thriving, joyful and every week there where festivities. We organized local fun and opened our arms to all who would visit to share their own fun and amazement of this town called Winters. As one local said, “Winters is unstoppable!” Yes, indeed!

We debated about parking and new land development, but we strived to keep this Town’s charms intact. With mutual respect and integrity we found our common ground, indeed.

Fires threatened us, the Lakes suffered and our wildlife braved the damaged land as did our residents. We came together to help those in need.

It was apocalyptic, indeed.

Then the dark cloud came in and we were separated on so many levels. It’s been a difficult time to say the least. But some how we came together, supported one another, found ways to uplift one another. Marching bands blasted song down Main Street, school caravans and teachers honking with signs saying, “we miss you!”

Santa with a small

In search of $4 gasoline

f you leave the State of California you’ll notice a lot of differences from the landscape, people and the price of almost everything. My permanent tenant and I took a long weekend to visit the cutest fiveyear-old on the planet. We might be a little bias, but Lukas is cute, and if you doubt it, I have pictures.

It is just starting to green up in Boise with a dusting of snow in the mountains. There should be a lot of snow this time of the year, but they are having the same drought that we are. Their farmland is still gray and fallow.

One of the first things you see when you fly back into Sacramento Metro Airport is how green everything is here.

The Chevron by our son’s home list regular at $4.49, and locals complain about

the price of fuel. Offbrand gas stations are closer to $4.20 per gallon and I’m sure if you search long enough you can find $4 gasoline. You also notice the cheap price of eating out at nice restaurants. When four and half people can eat for under $100, including a nice tip, at a restaurant with cloth napkins, you know you are far from home. A large craft beer was $5.

Boise used to have a slower life style, but over the years it seems to have picked up the pace, not quite catching up with Northern California, but close.

Maybe it is all of the Californians that

moved there. Their housing prices have doubled in the past two years. The closer to downtown Boise, the more expensive the homes, but go out 25 miles and you can find affordable smaller homes. Then you need to buy a tank a week to get to work.

I read an article about housing in Boise and it mentioned that things might change when everyone has to go back to work in person. You will no longer be able to live anywhere you want, and people may have to leave Boise and return to their original homes, if they can afford them.

Housing in Winters

is getting pricey, too.

I’ve been avoiding Planning Commission meetings, but did fill out a questioner about Winters housing a few months ago.

Reading the Express, I haven’t seen any of my ideas about smaller homes, 800 to 1,000 square feet, another trailer park and city owned houses on the old dump site. I can envision something like Yolo Housing, but within our city limits.

I worked in Los Angeles before I moved home and it took me a while to slow down. In Los Angeles everyone is always in a hurry and I’m catching myself falling back into old habits. For someone who is supposed to be semi-retired, where does all the time go? Hopefully more time with the family.

Slow down, smell the coffee and have a good week.

The politics of public defense Survey on Main Gramps Says Have you ever wondered where all those people come from that fill downtown Main Street in the evenings? Sophie was curious so she decided to take a survey on a busy Saturday during dinner time. She approached people both on the sidewalk or dining at the outdoor tables.

Personally, I think she is a little vain as people tend to fawn over her when she approaches them with a wagging tail.

Here is her report.

Sophie Says Gramps, you’re mixing vanity up with professional journalism. My approach works every time and elicits more spontaneously-pleasurable responses than you could dream up in a life time.

I admired the first contact as there were three of my fellow canines in company with one person from Davis and two from Fairfield. Next were four from Winters and one from Vacaville. Gramps bored the four from Lincoln with his tale of taking a flight in a vintage B-17 bomber out of their town.

There were two from Hercules and also two more from

Fairfield, and one each from Benicia and El Sobrante. It remains a mystery what brought together each person from New Jersey, Alabama, Utah and Fairfield. I met five more from Winters.

Among another group were one from San Francisco, one from Vallejo and the nice lady from Winters fussed over me and said she was a faithful reader of “Sophie Says.” There were five standing in front of the Buckhorn from Winters. Among other groups were one from Dixon, one from Davis, two Fairfield, two Vallejo, one San Luis Obispo and Walnut Creek.

A nice couple from Illinois is stationed at Travis, so does that count as Fairfield or Illinois? If the latter, they earn the prize as the most distant visitors.

The group of five and another group of eight from Woodland constituted a strong representation of that city. I also found three couples of two each from Vacaville, one Texan and one Placervillian and three from Davis.

Let’s not forget to include five more from Fairfield and seven more in two groups

See SOPHIE, Page 6

Editor’s note: This column discusses content related to child sexual exploitation that may cause some people emotional distress.

A

paid political ad for the District Attorney’s (DA) race has been circulating recently. It accuses Winters resident Cynthia Rodriguez of accepting “campaign contributions connected to a convicted child molester and a convicted child rapist in Yolo County.”

I had reservations about Rodriguez before reading this ad because of an incident where she seemed to intentionally skirt the rules for her own benefit. The first time I heard of her was when she put a float in the 2021 Tractor Parade, allegedly entered by someone other than herself, with some lights and a Cynthia Rodriguez for District Attorney sign.

Politics are not allowed in the parade.

We have enough people who declare “rules of thee but not for me,” so we certainly don’t need a chief prosecutor engaging in it. It is possible it was a mistake, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

On seeing the political ad, I was curious if it was accurate. How could it be? I looked up the campaign finance records on the county website and, surprisingly, the allegations are true.

The details of the crimes of which these

two individuals were convicted are especially shocking. One could have been ripped right out of an episode of Law & Order SVU. There are five donations at issue. Four came from a male from Woodland who was convicted of multiple sex acts with a nineyear-old. He donated a total of $5,000 to her campaign in four donations as recently as

Estate Planning|Probate Trust Administration Special Needs|Elder Law

March 20.

This appears to be $100 over the legal individual donation limit of $4,900 per election. The total makes him the largest cumulative donor reported so far, responsible for 7.39 percent of her contributions received.

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.

Notice of Public Hearing Notice is Hereby Given that the City Council of the City of Winters will conduct a Public Hearing on Tuesday, April 19, 2022, at 6:30 p.m., or soon thereafter, via Zoom on the LDS Subdivision Inclusionary Housing Plan project described below. Members of the public may participate in the meeting by logging on to the Zoom meeting listed below. Addition participation information relating to the April 19, 2022 City Council meeting will be provided in the published meeting agenda.

Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86205973361? pwd=d1YyYmVxeldXcEpjbDUxeFR5MFhoQT09 Meeting ID: 862 0597 3361 Passcode: 036514 LDS Subdivision Project Inclusionary Housing Plan Project Description: The applicant is requesting approval of the LDS Subdivision Inclusionary Housing Plan relating to the City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance, Chapter 17.200 of the Winters Municipal Code. The applicant is proposing to construct one moderate-income restricted unit and pay an affordable housing in-lieu fee of $82,000.00 for the remaining two affordable units that is required.

The LDS Subdivision project proposed to subdivide a 3.29acre parcel into 18 single-family lots. The LDS Subdivision Tentative Map was reviewed at the November 12, 2019, Planning Commission meeting and was approved at the December 17, 2019, City Council meeting. The last remaining approval associated with the LDS Subdivision project is review and approval of the project’s Inclusionary Housing Plan. It should be noted that the LDS Subdivision Inclusionary Housing Plan was reviewed at the Affordable Housing Steering Committee (AHSC) meeting on September 1, 2021, and at the Planning Commission meeting on March 22, 2022, in which the AHSC and Planning Commission forwarded a recommendation to approve the Inclusionary Housing Plan as described above.

It is anticipated that the proposed LDS Subdivision Project Inclusionary Housing Plan 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 LDS Subdivision Project Inclusionary Housing Plan is available 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 project. If you challenge the categorical exemption and/or the LDS Subdivision Project Inclusionary Housing Plan 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.

TIME Continued from Page 3 caravan greeting us as we quarantined inside. Local businesses and the City took amazing initiatives to keep the Economy going and to keep everyone “safe”…

It’s been a strange few years. We all have a slice of loss from this. We also know that we looked after our children, seniors and animals impacted by the ongoing uncertainty. As well as our neighbors. We

came together for food drives and donations to families in need.

We are good overall, indeed.

Fast forward to now.

It’s Spring and we all feel a breath of fresh air and a sense of relief.

For now let’s keep looking out for one another and know the community of Winters is a wonderful town to live in and visit.

We have each other’s back. Past, present and going forward, we know this to be true. I hope you can agree.

B6 — Winters Express, Wednesday, April 6, 2022

FITNESS Continued from Page 1 a combination of a lot of things. Every interaction I had with Winters, whether it was the people I dealt with at the club, the different visits or just passing through, it was always positive.”

On a whim, Witham emailed the former owner Reed Tileston expressing interest in the AF in Winters. With serendipity on Witham’s side, Tileson was already feeling his time with AF had run its course. After some paperwork and payment, Witham has officially become the new owner of the AF in Winters. His ambitious plans, however, require some heavy lifting with which longtime AF manager Gwen Pisani is more than happy to spot him.

“Usually when you take over a club, the owner’s halfway out the door and nobody really gives you the lay of the land. With Gwen, we’re going to be able to keep everything she’s done the last 10 years, but

BARBER Continued from Page 1 showed me the responsibility that comes with it,” said Fierros. “You’re never really off now that you’re the owner. I’m not just cutting hair, I’m making sure there’s stuff in stock, that the bills are paid. Willis just really helped me learn all that.”

To Fierros, ‘Elevate’ is more than just a cool brand name. It’s more of a lifestyle, where one elevates every aspect of life. Whether it’s at work, with fitness or anything else, Fierros’ aim to elevate goes handin-hand with adapting to whatever comes one’s way and pushing the boundaries.

“For me, to elevate is with my barbering. I’m always asking myself how

“We love what we’ve done for the town and the members, but it’s just time. Time to pass the baton and bring someone in who’s a huge part of Anytime Fitness and is going to take it to the next level. It’s going to be a breath of fresh air and handing it off in the most positive way you can.”

Gwen Pisani, former owner improve upon that,” Witham said praising Pisani.

“We’ll reinvest in the club, swap out the mirrors that are broken and reupholster the equipment. I text her all the time, and she’s just right on it helping me.

It’s a lot of fun.”

For Pisani, it’s an emotional and difficult transition after 10 years of service. The memories she keeps, however, are as strong and chiseled as her heart.

“It’s been an absolute honor and pleasure to have been part of Anytime Fitness for 11 plus years. We love what we’ve done for the town and the members, but it’s just

time. Time to pass the baton and bring someone in who’s a huge part of Anytime Fitness and is going to take it to the next level,” said Pisani. “It’s going to be a breath of fresh air and handing it off in the most positive way you can.

And they know I’ll always be there if they need me.

I told them as long as I’m above ground or in Winters, I’ll be the liaison between Anytime Fitness and the community.”

With new blood pumping in the little gym at 113 Main St., the fitness future of Winters is looking as bright as a baby-oiled body building posing on stage.

can I be better — how can my shop be better? We’re always learning and getting better and taking our skills to the next level,” Fierros said explaining how Elevate’s atmosphere and services will help it stand apart from other barbershops. “We have precise barbers, and it’s more than giving a haircut for us, it’s an art form. Any new style that comes up, we’re learning how to do it and adapting to it and growing.”

With a soft opening on April 1, Elevate Barbershop is ready to raise people’s standards of what haircuts should be. One can visit the shop at 30 Main St. and stay up-to-date with the barbershop on their socials by searching @_elevatebarbershop on Instagram and ‘Elevate Barbershop’ on Facebook.

SOPHIE Continued from Page 3 from Winters.

Two persons from Dixon finish off the list of about an hour and a half of scientific marketing research for which there will be no charges made neither to the eating establishments on Main Street nor to the Winters Chamber of Commerce.

I’ll leave it up to the statisticians to determine the value of my report. I never was any good at math. I bark once and someone lets me out. If I bark twice, that means it’s urgent.

CITY Continued from Page 3 Ms. Rodriguez’s campaign initiated contact with him, and he met with her prior to donating, according to an interview he gave.

By chance, I spoke with a member of the Jury who convicted the donor’s brother. The juror stated “He terrorized his victim” and he “deserved every day of the 378 years” based on the testimony they heard.

Is there anything illegal about this? Emphatically, no. Criminals and relatives of criminals are allowed to make political donations. Even those convicted of the most offensive crimes in society. It is their right under the First Amendment.

I wouldn’t let these people near my daughter, in my home, or within 1,000 feet of a school but if they want to exercise their constitutional rights, I cannot fault them. I can, however, avoid associating with causes they support.

Should a candidate for District Attorney be accepting donations from individuals or family members thereof who have pending appeals?

The responses on social media are entertaining, most of them from Rodriguez’s supporters and friends asserting (wrongly) that the accusations are untrue or engaging in whataboutism. Honestly, I really didn’t care about the DAs race much before this kerfuffle.

I think this ad was in poor taste, and not directly germane to the race. The underlying facts still raise questions.

Seeing not one but two child molester-adjacent, above-average donors makes you wonder: Why would they support Cynthia Rodriguez for DA in our small county? What

is it about her that gets them to make large financial contributions? Is she aware of their background, particularly her largest donor? Does she care? Now that she likely has found out, will she return the donations?

The Davis Enterprise reported that Rodriguez claims the ad is inaccurate, yet both donors confirmed their donations to the Enterprise and she has reportedly forwarded one of the five donations to a nonprofit.

Perhaps it is because these donors perceive Rodriguez to be in favor of policies similar to big city District Attorneys like Chesa Boudin from San Francisco and George Gascón from Los Angeles, and they feel she would be more lenient on their situations. Mr. Gascón recently pursued a very light sentence for a child molester.

Both District Attorneys have policies of declining to prosecute certain crimes and using discretion to seek lesser penalties for crimes they do prosecute. Policies that seem to have resulted in spikes in those crimes.

The year Mr. Boudin was elected, San Francisco burglaries increased nearly 50 percent and motor vehicle thefts increased nearly 25 percent. Both are crimes that he largely declines to try in court.

Only the donating individuals can tell us whether the larger-than-average donations to Cynthia Rodriguez’s campaign are attempts to gain influence and rapport with a potential new District Attorney for favorable treatment in future probation, parole, or new trial hearings. But it would otherwise seem odd to have such a convergence in a small inconsequential race, particularly with pending litigation for at least one of the two cases.
