SMALL BUSINESS SHOWCASE featuring our local businesses and their impact on our communities.

Winters fireworks show needs Community, schools bring dozen volunteers support to grieving families two Express staff

By Crystal Apilado and Rick von Geldern Express staff Winters community members and businesses pulled together to uplift and support local families who were impacted by a tragic ATV accident last Thursday.

An outdoor candlelight vigil was organized on Friday evening at Dr. Seller’s Football Field (at Winters High School) by a community organizer.

Coaches, teachers, friends and community members gathered to show their support for the families of two 14-year-old WHS students who died in an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accident Thursday afternoon, as well as to show support for the other teen who was involved in the accident.

Councilmembers appointed Cathy Mathews to the position of City Treasurer. Mathews was recently hired as the Administrative Services Director, but

New air conditioner Council also approved a $32,500 contract with SONCO Heating and Air Conditioning to replace the existing air conditioning system at the community center.

City Manager Kathleen Salguero Trepa presented a workshop to council on the 2022-23 fiscal year’s operating budget that she explained is derived from 11 funds expected to generate $18.9 million in revenue.

Trepa said fluctuations in revenue in recent years have made it difficult to predict, but the City is remaining “cautiously optimistic” that next year’s fiscal budget will remain balanced.

Bats of the Yolo Causeway events return

By Corky Quirk

Winters Express

Special to the Express Summer is here, and the bats are back! The maternity Mexican free-tailed bat colony under the I-80 Yolo Causeway is growing daily as they return from wherever they spent the winter. The bats return to the Causeway as the weather warms, crops grow and insect populations explode.

These amazing, winged wonders are mammals that fly. In late June each summer the females give birth to one pup. She nurses that pup for about five to six weeks and then it joins her as she flies throughout the Central Valley to consume crop pests and mosquitos.

There also are males that live in the Yolo Causeway bridge, but their groupings are smaller, so they are less noticeable.

Advisory boards seek members

People watch a colony of Mexican freetail bats fly out from the Yolo Causeway at the Yolo Basin Foundation’s Bat Talk and Walk.

Throughout the summer Yolo Basin Foundation offers opportunities to learn more about the bats.

Registration is now open and some evenings have already sold out. This year the Bat Talk and Walk events are in a hybrid format. The Talk is virtual and the Walk is in-person. Live ambassador bats are present for up close viewing at both the Talk and the Walk.

Children who are interested in bats are encouraged to join Yolo Basin Foundation for a morning of “Bats and Crafts''.

They will meet live bats from our local area and have fun creating crafts and playing bat games.

This special event is aimed at children, ages 3–8, especially those who are too young to stay up late to watch the bats fly.

Parents must stay

with their children.

Maybe you want to learn to build a bat house, or only want to hear the Talk to learn more about bats. All events and some fun fact videos about our programs and the bats can be found at www.yolobasin.org/ bats2022.

Yolo Basin Foundation offers environmental education programs for all ages related to wetlands and wildlife.

Public Defender’s Office hosts youth event

By Anne Ternus-Bellamy McNaughton Media Yolo County youths are invited to learn more about the public defender’s office and its racial justice work at a day-long event July 22.

The “For the Defenders of Tomorrow” program is open to high school students, as well as recent graduates and Woodland Community College students.

Participants will be introduced to different staff members in the Yolo County Public Defender’s Office and learn more about legal proceedings, advocacy and public service.

They’ll meet attorneys, paralegals, investigators, social workers, client advocates and support staff who will share insight into their profession and how they came to it.

In addition to observing in-person court proceedings, participants will attend presentations such as “How to

Become a Lawyer” and “Know Your Rights.”

At the concluding panel discussion, participants will be highly encouraged to share their perspectives regarding how the Public Defender’s Office can improve its representation and better partner with Yolo County residents and communities.

“The idea for this event was born out of a meeting with Brown Issues Ambassadors after our office had a field trip to Taller Arte de Nuevo Amanecer (TANA) in Woodland,” said Chief Mitigation Specialist and Racial Justice Committee member Emily Kochly, “We recognize the need to not only foster an interest in the criminal legal system in our youth but also hear from them about what impacts they see the criminal legal system has on their community.”

Another member of the Racial Justice Committee, Deputy Public Defender James

Bradford, credits Brown Issues Ambassadors in the development of the For the Defenders of Tomorrow event.

“The problems facing our communities of color are profound and persistent,” he said.

“The efforts of the Brown Issues Ambassadors to counter the dehumanizing aspects of the justice system and undo misconceptions that continue to pervade societal thinking about crime in these communities, especially amongst the youth, is nothing less than inspiring.”

Now the Public Defender’s Office hopes to continue that work through this inaugural event and inspire Yolo County youths to consider their role, as change-makers, in the criminal legal system.

Space in the For the Defenders of Tomorrow event is limited and participants are encouraged to sign up by June 17. Contact Eleni Bonilla with questions at 530-406-4525 or eleni.bonilla@yolocounty.org.

By Sydney Andrade Express staff writer The Winters Little League 50/70 team came out as Champions from a three-day tournament where they were put up against the Vacaville American and Davis Little League teams.

On Tuesday, June 5 the Winters 50/70 played the final game of the tournament and defeated Davis Little League by a score of 11-1.

Aidan Baylor took the mound for Winters and helped lead his team to victory. The righthander pitched five innings, allowing only one run on two hits while striking out six. Winters 50/70 didn’t commit a single error in the field. Carson Alvarado was put to work and was able to demonstrate his impeccable fielding skills, stopping seven hits Davis attempted to put into play.

“Our pitching and defense were great the entire tourna-

ment. Everett and AJ pitched great on Sunday. Monday Cole and Carson and last night Aidan threw the whole game and we had zero errors on the field,” said coach Rudy Baylor In addition to Winters playing great defensively, the Winters 50/70 team also battled at the plate and proved that they were the team to beat, dominating both the Vacaville American and Davis Little League team.

“Our bats were on fire from the top of the line up to the bottom the entire TOC,” Rudy said.

During the final game of the series, Winters 50/70 racked up a total of 14 hits.

Baylor, Alvarado, Cole Jordling and Everett Beason each managed multiple hits for Winters 50/70. Alvarado and Baylor had three hits, leading Winters 50/70.

Winters not only gaind an early lead, but the athletes were able to get six runs in during their third at bat with doubles by Beason and Baylor and a single by Jordling.

Winters 50/70 also tallied one home run

on the day. Sean Wojan knocked one out of the park in the fourth inning, bringing the crowd to their feet and putting smiles on the faces of all his teammates and coaches.

“All together in the three games, we racked up 33 base hits. That’s insane for a three game stretch,” said coach Baylor.

Senior News Elder Day 2022 celebration is June 25

By Wally Pearce Winters Elder Day Council The Winters Elder Day Council is excited to announce the return of their traditional annual Elder Day event after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic.

Mark your calendars and plan on attending this wonderful Elder Day festivity on Saturday, June 25 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Winters Community Center locate at 201 Railroad Ave. Come and watch history being made in the City of Winters. Everyone, all families and friends, are welcome to come and share in this free event.

Throughout history older adults have achieved much for our families and community. That remains true today and gives us ample reason this year

Crystal Apilado/Winters Express

Yolo County Supervisor Don Saylor, right, celebrates with Elder Day 2019 attendees. to reserve a special day, Elder Day, in honor of all older adults, but especially those that are 90-years of age and older, and who mean so much to us all.

Every year the Winters Elder Day Council celebrates elder adults that reside in the City of Winters,

applauding them publicly and hosting them and their families at the festive Elder Day reception.

It’s absolutely amazing to hear their stories of life and to witness a glimpse of our history as they tell their narratives. One honoree recounted that as a

young girl her grandfather was so big, he resembled Popeye, and because of that she still loves Popeye.

Throughout history older adults have achieved and shared so much for all of us. That remains true today and gives us ample reason each year to reserve a special day, Elder Day, in honor of all elder adults, but especially those that are 90-years of age and older.

Elder Day — Saturday, June 25 — is set aside to give community appreciation to our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents by showing them our sincere affection and gratitude by bringing the entire City of Winters community together to celebrate the people being highlighted that day.

That public acknowledgement is for their

personal contributions to our families, friends, and community. In 2022, the Winters Elder Day Council will come together to rejoice many people in that age group — 14 residents will be honored this year.

The 90-and-older crowd — among the most vulnerable of human beings — is succumbing rapidly and heartbreakingly.

Entire limbs are being lopped off family trees, and their wisdom and lore far too often go unnoticed. Many of the very oldest of us who survived world wars, polio, the Great Depression, and the Holocaust, are being lost to history. Our elders are our patriarchs and matriarchs, our families’ root stock — and connections to our past, foreign lands, and forgotten ancestors. They are our most experienced and loved continuity.

Commissioners discuss objectives, need to collect more survey responses

By Crystal Apilado Editor-in-Chief The Winters Senior Commission on Aging hosted a working meeting on June 8 to discuss its goals and to update its 2021-2022 objectives.

Senior Commission Chair Cheryl Sandoval went over the list of objectives that commissioners originally identified as goals and projects to address in the Winters community.

Multiple resigna-

tions and Commissioner turnover has challenged the Senior Commission since its inception. Many of the committees and projects have either been handed off or left with one lead commissioner.

To date, the Senior Commission is focusing on: • Actively monitoring grants and programs which may be appropriate to pursue for the senior community, and propose working on with City

staff to ensure alignment.

• Defining unmet needs in the Winters senior community and present them annually to the City Council.

• Improving upon standards of service by developing a framework and metrics to assess standards of serving going forward.

• Assisting the City in completing work on equipment procurement and Senior Center program recommendations. And, support City staff in

the development of a Senior Center Operation Manual.

• The Commission will continue to assess activities and services for inclusion in future publications of the Winters Senior Resource Guide. The Senior Resource Guide was recently updated, published and distributed in both Spanish and English. Future Senior Resource Guide editions are expected to be published every two years.

• The Commission

will continue to develop a comprehensive Legislative Platform process to present to the City Council recommended positions on matters impacting seniors.

Senior program surveys Senior Commissioners discussed ways to continue collecting responses to the Senior Center program survey it began to distribute this spring.

The goal of the survey is to collect information from the older

adult community regarding their interest in senior programs and what needs they may need fulfilled.

The survey will be available to the community until July 31.

Community members can take the survey in English at https://tinyurl.com/yvdsx5xy or in Spanish at https:// tinyurl.com/2epvjf4m.

Senior Commissions plan to look through the survey data to identify programs and needs at their August meeting.

Summer fun for active seniors Metro Special to the Express Seniors may have more time for leisure and recreation than working adults, and the summer months provide ample opportunities to get active.

After months of chilly temperatures, seniors in various parts of the country may be eager to get outdoors and enjoy some fun in the sun.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that adults age 65 and older get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week. There are plenty of ways for active seniors to meet this exercise goal and have some fun along the way. The following are some good starting points.

• Join or start a walking club. Walking is a great way to stay in shape and work the mind as well. View new sights along the way by changing the route each time you go.

Walking with friends can pass the time and provide the motivation to keep going.

• Catch a sporting

event. Attending a sporting event can be an entertaining way to spend several hours, and that includes amateur and recreational sports. Catch a grandchild’s swim meet or a baseball game for an action-packed way to connect with loved ones and get out.

• Take a fishing charter. Casting a rod from a dock or pier is perfectly acceptable, but securing a spot on a fishing charter is a great way to spend hours out on the water enjoying the scenery and the sport of fishing. Plus, there’s the added benefit of enjoying the fruits of your labors by cooking the day’s catch for dinner once you arrive home.

• Be a tourist. Many cities and towns have their own tourism boards and showcase interesting spots that have historical significance or appeal to other interests. Be a tourist for the day — even in an area with which you are familiar. Hop on a trolley or sightseeing bus to view the town as an outsider.

• Spend time

swimming. Swimming is a low-impact activity that can work the body in many different ways. Devote time to doing a few laps in the pool. Or make a day of going to a lake or another body of water to wade out and enjoy some strokes in nature. Stick to swimming areas that are monitored by lifeguards for optimal safety.

• Tend to a garden.

Gardening is a great form of light exercise that can produce rewarding results. If you don’t have a garden or enough space for one at home, many neighborhoods have community gardens in which you can secure a plot.

• Visit a fair or farmer’s market. The warm weather months are a peak time for outdoor activities, including various community fairs and farmer’s markets. Chances are you can find a farmer’s market nearby most days of the week, but especially on the weekend. A town market or state fair is a great way to get out and walk, play games of chance or enjoy

Healing arts paint Winters with wellness

By Aaron Geerts Express staff writer Being stressed and highstrung are common side effects of the times in which we’re all living. Kim Unger is taking her healing arts to the next level to help Winters not only loosen up but sow the roots of healthy habits one yoga class and sound bath at a time.

Originally from Singapore, Unger had since lived and worked in San Francisco. Once her and her husband began their family, however, they decided it was time to move closer to her husband’s family who lives in Davis. Winters was a nice in-between to raise a family — and a business.

“It all started with outdoors classes last September. Then, when the air started getting bad, I moved into the building a block away from the Winters Collective. After that, once Steady Eddy’s had this spot open up, I decided to move in there because I was already doing workshops in there at Christian’s Corner,” said Unger. “I already knew the space and the outside courtyard area, so it was the perfect little spot for a small studio. It’s in the same building as the Steady Eddy’s Roasting Room.

They get half of one side and I get the other and the courtyard too, so it’s nice we can do outdoor sessions as well.”

Unger dipped her toes in the yoga pond around a decade ago, practicing on and off as she pleased. When she became pregnant with her son, however, Unger cannon-balled into the yoga pond and became enthralled with the practice. So much so, that she went out, earned her yoga teaching credentials and Kim Unger’s Healing Arts was born.

“I slowly built it up, started offering yoga classes and now it just evolved into what it is today. I teach yoga classes, we do sound baths and sound healing too. It’s a lot of energy work,” Unger said explaining her healing arts. “It’s not just the physical movement of yoga, there’s also the spiritual part.

I emphasize a lot of listening to the body and getting feedback from that and I go in from there.”

Unger’s studio is a unique

Kim Unger Healing Arts, located at 106 Main St., Suite C, is set to have a grand opening on June 24. gem. While her healing arts mend one’s mental, physical and spiritual wellness, she also collaborates with other businesses and people to bring workshops into her studio and keep monotony a far cry from her clients’ experience.

“I do workshops with different people to bring different opinions and points of views because this isn’t just yoga.

In a recent workshop, I talked about chakras and things like that. People would ask ‘what is a chakra? I don’t see it on my body.’” Unger said. “A chakra is an energy center, you don’t really see it and it’s more of where you feel it. Then Jason (a recent workshop collaborator) will bring in the scientific part and talk about your nervous system and how it connects to the chakras. So, it’s an interesting thing for people to come in and hear both sides.”

To Unger, even if one doesn’t get something out of the yoga or sound baths, simply showing up and unplugging for an hour or so can yield positive results.

After some renovations to her studio located at 106 Main St., Suite C, it’s now set to bolster privacy and comfort for her clientele.

Kim Unger Healing Arts is also set to have a grand opening on June 24. On that Friday, Unger is hosting an open studio at 5 p.m. so the community can come in and see what she’s offering. Unger is also hosting a free community sound bath from 6:30-7 p.m.

To stay up-to-date with the studio, follow its Instagram account @kimberlyungerhealingarts, and there, reach out, schedule a class and learn more about what this healing artist offers.

“It’s not just the physical movement of yoga, there’s also the spiritual part.

Characteristics of modern houses Metro Special to the Expres Homes contain a variety of components that appeal to homeowners with different ideas about the perfect place to call home. That starts with the style of a home.

Buildings are classified according to share components. A Craftsman style home will have a covered porch with a set of wide base columns, while a Cape Cod home is often defined by a gabled roof and dormer windows. Modern houses, which are sometimes called contemporary homes even though the terms are not interchangeable, will have their own sets of unique character-

istics. Here’s a look at seven features that make modern homes unique.

Minimalist approach Contemporary and modern homes both employ an approach that leans toward minimalism, including clean design lines.

Spaces are open and airy without the clutter of too many ornate architectural details.

While modern homes may have some curvature to their design, contemporary ones are all about an angular look.

Neutral color palette Modern homes tend to utilize a neutral color palette. Modern homes may use “earthy” elements,

CARRION PROPERTIES

such as wood and brick, in ways that do not look rustic. Contemporary homes rely on a color palette of black and white with shades of gray or other neutral colors.

Geometric shapes Modern homes have strong horizontal and vertical elements that showcase geometric shapes in their designs. Contemporary homes often have flat roofs, while modern homes may not.

Large, unadorned windows

trims. Large windows are the focus of the interior and shift attention to the view outdoors.

Open floor concept A hallmark of modern interior design, the open concept floor plan removes many of the walls that tend to separate common areas of a home. This helps to foster the spread of natural light and maintains the emphasis on simplicity of design.

Smart elements

Most modern homes showcase a lot of natural light by utilizing large windows that are not covered up by heavy window treatments or elements like shutters and thick

Thanks to the proliferation of smart technology, smart homes are cropping up with greater frequency.

While smart devices can be included in any home style, they tend to feel like they were

Express Yourself Letters Good work City crew On behalf of the Winters Veterans and The Winters Cemetery District, I would like to thank Eric, Adrian and crew for help with the downtown flagpole holes.

Some holes had been missing, overgrown or hidden and needed re-drilling. So, just in time for Flag Day, the job was completed.

The City gets many compliments on how beautiful Railroad Avenue and Main Street look with all the flags.

Thanks also to the handful of Veterans and volunteers that hoist the colors every Flag Waving holiday.

Good work!

Sometimes it is hard to stay positive

A

s summer shows up, along with the heat, it is easy to just sit in your easy chair and watch the world go by.

Then, you hear about a tragic accident where two of our kids die, and you think about your own family and count your blessings. I hope that I never experience losing a child, or grandchild.

My grandson Brett is 14, and I know that he doesn’t have that fear gene to keep him from being adventurous.

He has scars to prove it, including a new one on his forehead from a motorized scooter accident last week.

Our granddaughter Jenna, 16, just got her drivers license which adds a new worry to our list of things that can go wrong in life. I know that bad things happen to good people, and so far we have been lucky, but it is still a worry.

I don’t know the families of the two teens that died last week, but my heart goes out to them. They don’t

need my thoughts and prayers; nothing is going to help them get over their loss. Just saying, “I’m sorry for your loss,” is the best that I can do.

A

NOTHING ELECTION IS FINALLY OVER. The turnout for the primary election in California may go down as having the lowest voter total in history. Even as I was filling out my ballot, I was thinking that there wasn’t a controversial topic to even think about. Most people vote down the party line and that is what the final vote looked like. No ballot measures, no local city or school issues, nothing that would make you go out of your way to vote.

I’m sure there are some local candidates who would disagree with me, but in Winters, it was pretty boring. It would be different if we lived in San Francisco, where

was raised to honor and cherish my elders.

I have always enjoyed hearing stories about the lives and experiences of those who are considered older adults, and even those who are not. I’ve always been in awe to hear about the challenges, the lessons and the achievements.

It’s a non-fiction storytime and history lesson in one.

Often, I hear, “You probably are tired of hearing about this,” or “I’m probably boring you.” I guarantee, I am not tired of listening to an elder share about something they experienced or feel is important to share.

Dallas-based photographer Tom Hussey did a photo series called “Reflections of the Past.” It showed photos of older adults looking into a mirror and seeing reflections of their younger selves. One man saw himself on his gradua-

tion day, another saw himself in his pilot uniform, and a woman in an assisted living home saw the reflection of herself from her days of working as a nurse looking back.

They struck a chord in my soul. The images were used by a healthcare company to market a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease (which is a whole other column by itself), and can be found through a Google search.

There are many misconceptions about aging and older adults, often negative and focusing on the deterioration of the quality of life. Some adults will experience degrees of memory loss and physical capabilities as they age – but, that doesn’t mean that our elders do not hold value in our community.

I believe our elders all hold great value, and listening to their stories helps to make

Father’s Day gift ideas for all types of dads Metro

Sports Dad

Special to the Express

Tap into your father’s love of sports with gifts tailored to his passion. Baseball and soccer are played during warm months, so tickets to a game is something dads and their children can do together. You also can cheer his team on in front of a new big-screen television he gets for being such a great dad.

This Father’s Day, families will gather to thank dads for all they do. Gifts often are part of Father’s Day celebrations, and here’s a list of gift ideas for dads with various interests.

Gaming Dad The draw of popular video games doesn’t abate for some men as they get older.

If your dad is at home with game controller in hand, then gifts that feed his hobby can be ideal.

Virtual reality has made great strides. Devices that enable VR game play and other entertainment may appeal to Dad. There are a few options on the market, like the Oculus, Pico Neo, HTC Vive, and Valve Index.

Another option is to gift the Nintendo Switch Console, which enables your dad to play at home connected to the television or on the go with the handheld controller and screen combination so he never misses a chance to engage in game play.

Outdoorsman Dad If your dad is most at home with a fishing pole and tackle box, kayaking a nearby body of water, or hiding in a tree stand during hunting season, then gifts that cater to his love of the great outdoors are perfect. Insulated thermoses, waterproof bags for storing phones or wallets, multitools, backpacks, and hiking boots make great gifts.

Special to the Express Each year, the third Sunday in June is a time to pay homage to fathers and the millions of other men who have stepped

new tablet or laptop that bridges the gap between home and office. Could it be time to upgrade his smartphone? A doorbell camera or home security kit can help Dad keep an eye on the comings and goings around the house when he’s away. Or help him create surround lighting effects that can react to content on the screen or music being played with LED smart lighting strips.

into the role of father.

While it may seem as though Father’s Day has been around forever, it didn’t become a nationally recognized holiday in the United States until

1972, when President Richard Nixon signed Joint Resolution 187 into law.

Many thank Sonora Smart Dodd for making Father’s Day happen. In 1909, while

attending a Mother’s Day sermon in church, Dodd felt fathers were equally deserving of praise. To honor her own father, a Civil War veteran and widower who raised six children alone, Dodd petitioned for a Father’s Day on June 5th (the anniversary of her father’s death) in her native Spokane, Wash. The celebration was deferred to the third Sunday in June. Another account says Grace Golden Clayton came up with the idea for a Father’s Day in 1908

Some fathers don’t want flashy gifts, instead preferring ones that can be used everyday. Think about a new paper shredder or identity block roller stamp to keep sensitive information safe. If Dad takes long road trips, then he might be able to use a car visor extender or a smartphone holder. Shelving, racks or storage straps for the garage also may put a smile on Dad’s face.

This year, make Father’s Day a smash hit with gifts that cater to Dad’s interests.

in Fairmont, West Virginia. Clayton was inspired to celebrate fathers after 361 local men perished in a deadly mine explosion. Clayton brought the idea up to the minister of her local church.

Historians say that Father’s Day may even be a much older idea. St. Joseph’s Day, which was celebrated each year on March 19 in Catholic nations of Europe since the medieval era, and later elsewhere around the world, commemorates Joseph, the

husband of Mary and father figure to Jesus.

It was said that Joseph should be held up as the ideal example of fatherhood.

The Coptic Orthodox Church celebrates St. Joseph’s Day on July 20. In the Orthodox Christian Church, the second Sunday before the Nativity is celebrated as the Sunday of the Forefathers — celebrating all of Jesus’ male ancestors, with an emphasis on Abraham, the patriarch of the Jewish faith.

Ways to spend Father’s Day Metro Special to the Express Many dads and father figures will attest that Father’s Day is special because they get to spend it with their families. While the gifts might be nice, it’s the time together that dads truly cherish.

Family members who want to make Father’s Day extra special this year may want to put extra effort into customizing Father’s Day fun rather than shopping for gifts.

So what equates to a fun-filled and enjoyable day for fathers?

That all depends on Dad’s interests. While no two fathers are the same, there are some universal ideas that can make for a memorable Father’s Day.

Rest and relaxation Fathers do a lot for their families, and many fathers have hectic daily schedules. Come Father’s Day, Dad may just desire a day when he’s not called on to do

anything. Provide this for him by removing many of the responsibilities that can bog your father down.

This includes chores that may be tackled on Sundays or even responsibilities that Mom often relies on him to tackle.

Special dinner On this special day, Dad may deserve a dinner that stands apart from more routine family meals. A specially cooked meal

Metro Special to the Express Grilling season presents ample opportunities to explore new culinary horizons. Just about anything that can be cooked indoors also can be prepared outdoors over an open flame.

And many foodies insist that grilling produces unique flavors that simply cannot be replicated when cooking via other means.

At 41 years old, I realize there are many historical events that may seem like decades ago, but actually are all under 100 years old. Some pivotal moments in history that I’ve learned about from elders include: August 1920: The 19th amendment was ratified, legally guaranteeing women in the US the right to vote in elections.

Although this generation of women are now just beyond their centennial birthdays, in my younger years I’ve heard stories about what life was like then. I make sure to vote in every election because so many advocated and fought for that right.

July 1942: The

Mojito Fish Steaks Makes 4 servings Ingredients: 4 firm-fleshed fish steaks, such as salmon, swordfish, kingfish, or sable, each 6 to 8 ounces, about ¾-inch thick 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper For the Mojito Mop: 3 tablespoons light rum Juice and finely grated zest of 1 large lime 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce 1 tablespoon sugar 4 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves

newly constituted 1st Filipino Infantry Regiment was activated, and replaced the short-lived 1st Filipino Battalion that had been activated in April 1942. My grandfather was part of the 1st Filipino Infantry, and while I’ve never met him – I’ve heard stories about him from my father, aunts and uncles. I’ve also heard about experiences from other Filipino grandfathers and uncles.

Winters Elder Day I was excited when Wally Pearce reached out to me to let me know that the Winters Elder Day Council was bringing back the Elder Day event. Due to COVID, it had been put on hold the last two years with the last in-person celebration happening in 2019.

When Elder Day was first launched, I wasn’t sure what it actually was all

Putting it together: Light a grill for indirect low heat, about 200°F. If using a charcoal grill, build a small charcoal fire at one end of the grill. If using a gas grill, set a burner at one end of the grill to medium-low. Put the grill grate on the grill and clean the grill grate with a wire brush.

Coat the fish steaks with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the mop: In a small bowl, stir together the rum, lime juice, canola oil, hot-pepper sauce, sugar, and 3 tablespoons of the mint leaves.

Brush the grill grate with olive oil. Put the fish on the grill away from the heat, spoon 1 tablespoon of the mop over each fish steak, cover the grill, and cook until the

about. It wasn’t until the feature articles about each of the honored elders began to be published in the Express that I learned the value of the event.

The 2022 Elder Day event is happening on Saturday, June 25, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Winters Community Center. I encourage everyone to attend the free event and learn more about the elders being featured.

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the honored elders, and have a chance to connect with them and the community on a new level.

We should not take our local elders for granted. They help connect us with our community roots and can influence us to not only continue the community spirit of Winters, but to also inspire us to make Winters a better place to live.

system that won’t arrest lawbreakers, or if arrested, aren’t punished. If criminals get away with petty crimes, pretty soon they are committing major crimes, and still may not be punished.

Winters has had a problem with catalytic converters being stolen for years. These devices that help cars run cleaner cost over $1,500 to replace and contain elements that can be sold as scrap for a hundred dollars or less. A few months ago they caught a couple of people just outside of town with a car load of catalyt-

ic converters. They probably got a couple of months in jail and are out, probably driving around looking for their next victims.

I’m not blaming Democrats for being soft on crime, but those that expound progressive policies when treating criminals better watch come November.

There needs to be consequences for bad behavior. I’m not saying you need to be draconian with your punishment; just have the punishment fit the crime.

Members of the public may participate in the meeting by logging on to the Zoom meeting listed below. Additional participation information relating to the June 28, 2022, Planning Commission meeting will be provided in the published meeting agenda.

Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88184650967? pwd=WktNZXZEdHNuQlVXYkFETTBoVUtxQT09; Meeting ID: 881 8465 0967 Passcode: 892134

Project Description: The Amended and Restated Development Agreement for development of the property, commonly known as Winters Highlands, between the City of Winters, HBT of Winters Highlands LLC, and Meritage Homes of California, Inc., is being proposed to be amended pursuant to Government Code sections 65864 through 65869.5 in order to make amendments, including but not limited to: building permits per year, onsite park improvements, and implementation of conditions of approval.

Project Description: The applicant is requesting approval to allow an unhosted short-term vacation rental use within an existing single-family dwelling located at 104 Russell Street (APN: 003-242-014). The property is developed with an existing two-story four-bedroom residence and is requesting a maximum overnight occupancy of ten guests.

It is anticipated that the proposed Winters Highlands Development Agreement Amendment project will be determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. A “categorical exemption” implies that the project will not result in any significant adverse environmental effect.

The Planning Commission and City Council will consider the appropriateness of said environmental recommendation based on the record of evidence before them. If substantial evidence has been presented demonstrating a more appropriate environmental determination than the one that has been recommended, the Planning Commission or City Council may require and/or approve an alternative environmental determination pursuant to the requirements of CEQA.

Air pressure systems affect our bodies

By Aaron Geerts Express staff writer The heat has arrived, and everybody is feeling it. What one may not know they’re feeling are the effects of the high air pressure system that comes with the heat on their bones and joints.

Dr. James Stirton, of Winters Family Chiropractic, breaks down weather pressure and how its effects go beneath the skin.

Stirton explained the air pressure systems that coincide with the weather as a mass of air that reaches up to the edge of the stratosphere. This air has weight to it, and the high/low aspect of each air pressure system determines how much weight is pressing down on people — and their bones and joints.

“That air has weight and can create more pressure on our backs and spines. So, I get an increased number of weight-bearing joint complaints around this time of year from having such a heavier pressure over people,” said Stirton. “At the same time, people tend to be out and

about doing more activities with the nice weather. So, that’s more weight bearing activity on top of having more atmospheric weight on them and that will cause spinal compression and pain in your discs.”

One can feel that extra pressure on a hot day. Perhaps by the pool or simply walking down the street, the lethargy or heaviness one feels is the extra air pressure. Of course, with low pressure systems come different effects on one’s body.

“High pressure compresses the joints, causes discs to bulge more and joints to lock up harder and causes tissue to be a little more laxed,” said Stirton. “With low pressure is the exact opposite. It causes joints to expand and if it’s already a swollen joint, it’s got no room to expand

and it’s going to swell shut and get tight and might be very severe.

So, I see complaints based on the weather quite a bit, and it’s not just the temperature.

Temperature is just a byproduct of what the air mass is all about.”

With the recent high weather systems bearing overhead, Stirton said he has seen similar types of aches and pains from his working-class patients. He addresses this fact as well as misconceptions on the effects of standing or sitting all day at work.

“Half of my patients are standing all day and the other half are sitting and both postures are compression. It’s a common misconception that sitting is a recovery position for your body, but it’s actually more pressure on your discs than standing is because of how you compress your back

The high/low aspect of atmospheric air pressure systems determines how much weight is pressing down on people — and their bones and joints. when you’re sitting.

When you’re standing, all your joints are in function to bear your weight efficiently,” Stirton said. “What I see is hard-working people who’re standing most of their shift and then go home and crash into a chair. That just strains their back in a different position.

So, these complaints come out more when there’s high pressure and it tells us we’re meant to have a good stretch in our tissues to keep them healthy.”

Lifestyle also comes into play when it

comes to bone and tissue compression.

Beyond the air pressure, Stirton analogizes tissue pains with folding jeans. Yes — they’re strong and durable, but if one keeps folding them over and over again, they will eventually crease and weaken.

One simply needs to be more mindful of the repetitive motions and resting positions they’re in every day and change it up with intermittent stretching and laying down on their back. Thankfully now, one can also

be more mindful of the pressure systems overhead as well.

Stirton has been dealing out decompression therapy for his patients and maintains that when it comes to joint and muscle pain, ice is nice, but stretch is best.

It’s like the good doctor always says, “If you’re not certain, ask Dr. Stirton.”

Exposure to nature brings positive mental health

By Jason Jurado, One Path Coaching Special to the Express Winters is an amazing place to live.

There are many attributes that make living here very special. One of the greatest things about the area is that we are surrounded by amazing outdoor areas with access to nature right in our city limits and also in the surrounding areas.

One of my favorite places is downtown on Putah Creek. My wife and I like to ride our bikes downtown and park by the Community Center and then walk down the trail and sit by the creek and relax and read and enjoy the sunshine.

We also enjoy taking the 10 minute (or less) drive out of town (but still located in Winters) and going to Lake Solano. The park is a fun way to relax and to be surrounded by nature.

This time of year you can hear the peacocks singing their song. We recently took our inflatable boat out on the lake and paddled around and saw many people out on kayaks also enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Besides the enjoyment of being outdoors in nature and getting out into the sunshine there is also another reason to get out there and spend some time in nature.

Studies have shown that being in nature actually increases your positive mental health. Nature can generate many positive emotions, such as joy, calmness, creativity and has been shown to improve concentration. It has also been shown to reduce anger, fear and stress.

Evidence shows that the quality of our relationship with nature is part

of the reason for its impact on our positive mental health and wellbeing. The research is showing that our connectedness to nature is one of the main aspects of the quality of the relationship. There is a term, “Biophilia”, that is defined as “the human tendency to interact or be closely associated with other forms of life in nature : a desire or tendency to commune with nature.”

Exposure to nature has been linked to a host of benefits, including improved attention, lower stress, better mood, reduced risk of psychiatric disorders and even upticks in empathy and cooperation.

The great news is that even if you do not have access to outdoor spaces or can not see nature outside your work environment they have found that any exposure to nature — in-person or via video — led to improvements in attention, positive emotions and the ability to reflect on a life problem.

The effects have been found to be better if you were to actually get out into nature but you can still get benefits by watching a video or listening to an audio recording of nature.

The sounds of nature

support our positive mental health as well, so just by listening to sounds of nature you also gain similar benefits.

Studies have shown that if you were to go out into nature or watch a video of nature for as little as five minutes prior to going into a stressful situation, then your emotional recovery time (your ability to “bounce back”) after the event was quicker.

Fractals in nature There is one last great discovery I want to talk about pertaining to nature and its effect on our positive mental health.

A fractal in nature is defined as “a pattern that the laws of nature repeat at different scales. Examples are everywhere in the forest. Trees are natural fractals, patterns that repeat smaller and smaller copies of themselves to create the biodiversity of a forest.”

Snowflakes, certain types of succulents, and leaves are all examples of fractals in nature.

Something with a repeating and expanding pattern.

One of the best examples is the nautilus shell with its (again, this is for the scientific types) Fibonacci spiral.

Studies have shown that looking at

fractals can reduce stress levels by 60 percent. Testing suggests that fractals activate certain areas of the brain which are responsible for regulating stress. There have been other experiments done using eye tracking equipment to better understand how people look at these patterns. Using fMRI imaging and other brain measurements, it appears that we have hard wiring that responds to fractals in nature. For the scientific types out there, the theory is that it occurs because of a certain physiological resonance within the eye.

Take some time to look at photos of fractals in nature and see how you feel after.

Better yet, while you are out in nature see how many examples of fractals you can find.

They say that you can get results with just 20 seconds of looking at fractals.

Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotion-

ally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones.

With the beautiful spring we are having and summer only a month away, make a plan to get out into nature and enjoy yourself.
