In her Aug. 12 update, City Manager Kathleen Salguero Trepa shared the updated City Pool schedule now that Winters High School is back in session. “Because the pool is on school property, we are unable to run public programs during school hours,” Trepa said.

By Angela Underwood Express sta writer Rhonda Pope Flores refuses to let communal worship and gatherings cease in Winters, hence the Grand Prince Odeum on 201 Main St. After more than a year of opening delays since purchasing the building in December 2020, the new business owner officially unlocked the century-old doors on July 23. It was worth the wait, according to Flores, who fell in love with the edifice the first time she saw it. However, she adored more than just the building’s architecture. She loved its history. Researching the two-story location before the big purchase gave Flores the idea for its new use: keep it the same. “I wanted to find out what happened here, and I stumbled across a report that described it as a social hub and place of worship,” she said. “It’s always been a church, and I didn’t want to take away from that. In fact, I wanted to bring that back.”Thousands of dollars in renovations later, including interior and exterior paint, refurbished rails and panels, and a stateof-the-art sound system, sounds of praise ring again at the Grand Prince Odeum. Flores rents out space to the Center for Spiritual Living at 10 a.m. Sundays, and then hosts some Pentecostal praise with Rock Church’s service at 1 p.m. “The worship and the positivity are definitely what we need since we are in crazy times,” she said. While remaining true to the building’s original church purpose, Flores added some fun to the mission-style building by flaring it up with a purple art-deco theme in honor of one of her favorite performer, Prince, who helped inspire the new name. Flores also hosts less formal events at the Grand Prince Odeum, including the Fortnightly Club parties she likes to call “tea sessions.”
The Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Center out of Winters High School has already held two meetings at the location, and the Winter Theater Company contacted Flores about performing plays on-site. The local interest in the facility is exactly what Flores was hoping for, especially after the not-so-royal deal she went

“Over the last couple of weeks, virus activity has been steadily increasing especially in the cities of Woodland, Davis and surrounding areas where most of the activity is currently concentrated,” according to the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito & Vector Control District. Areas within Sacramento County have also registered activity and are also being closely monitored. So far in 2022, the district has found six dead birds and 37 mosquito samples positive for West Nile virus in Yolo County. All six birds were found in Davis.Another 23 dead birds and 17 mosquito samples have tested positive in Sacramento County. “In general, (West Nile virus) activity has not been as intense this year and it is much lower than other seasons,” said Gary Goodman, district manager.“However, the extremely hot weather of this week can quickly change this. We are in the middle of summer and it’s important to not let your guard down. Everyone needs to be aware and protect themselves from mosquitoes and West Nile virus,” said Goodman. In addition to mosquitoes and dead birds that have tested positive, Yolo County’s Health & Human Services Agency also confirmed the first human case of West Nile virus in the county earlier this month.Thatindividual suffered from the neuroinvasive form of the virus but was recovering.WestNile is spread to humans by mosquito bites and 80 percent of those infected will not show any symptoms. However, for the other 20 percent, symptoms usually appear between two and 14 days after being bitten and can include fever, headache, body aches, nausea, vomiting and sometimes swollen lymph glands or a rash on the chest, stomach and back.About one in 150 people infected with West Nile virus will develop severe illness with symptoms including high fever, headache, neck stiffness, disorientation, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks, and neurological effects may bePeoplepermanent.over the age of 50 and those who have diabetes or hypertension are more likely to develop serious symptoms of West Nile virus and should take special care to avoid mosquito bites, health officials have Statewide,said.12 California residents have tested positive for West Nile this summer, including the Yolo County resident as well as a resident of Solano County. Since 2003, the state has reported more than 7,000 human cases and over 300 deaths from West Nile. In response to increased West Nile virus activity here, the vector control district will increase its mosquito trapping and monitoring in the area to find sources where mosquitoes may be breeding. Targeted ground spraying around affected areas will also be conducted to rapidly decrease the numbers of adult mosquitoes that can pose a public health threat, the district said. Another ongoing concern is the invasive mosquito Aedes aegypti, which were detected for the first time within the district’s boundaries in 2019.To date, surveillance efforts have detected ongoing invasive mosquito populations in Winters as well as several areas of Sacramento County. Invasive mosquitoes pose a significant health threat because they can transmit dangerous viruses including Zika, dengue fever and chikungunya.Forcurrent information about district activities, visit onbite.net.https://www.fightthe-Residentsmayalsosub-scribetomailingliststoreceiveemailnotifica-tionsforupcomingmos-quitotreatmentsbyzipcode.Tosignup,goto“SprayNotifications”onthewebsite.Informationforcurrenttreatmentsplannedisalsoavailablethewebsite.

cording to resident Valarie Whitworth, who attended the Grand Prince Odeum opening in July. The herself inlocal expressedlastweek’s Winters Express, calling the event “a slice of musical history in a historic building,” bedecked with balloons and a photo booth.Whitworth said the walls rang with 1930s tunes sung by the Yolo Ramblers and a great time was had by all who were offered “a warm welcome, good entertainment, and a feeling of community.”Cityofficials did not broadcast the same sentiments. Mayor Wade Cowan said he could not comment on the Grand Prince Odeum grand opening at this time under the direction of the city attorney. But past hurts will not stop Flores from being a good neighbor, she said. She stressed the importance of adhering to the noise ordinance and keeping the hours of operation at 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Flores is confident
Grand Prince Odeum will continue to offer endless community opportunities in the future, including wedding events like her own. Since renewing her vows in May at the Main Street location, she’s been approached by a young bride-to-be. “I had a granddaughter of a Winters resident who was married there in the 50s, and she said I want to get married here just like my grandma did,” Flores said. “That’s what I want; I want the traditions to continue.” Flores respect for church, history, architecture, and community give new purpose to the Grand Prince Odeum that is now alive again with worship and fun. “We know that it is a change,” Flores said, adding the Main Street location purchase was never about money but about the building. “If you leave buildings unattended and do not care for them, they fall apart, and we don’t want that to happen to this building because we love it.”

120 Years Ago
En todo California, las frustraciones de los padres debido a la pandemia, la cual causó el cierre de es cuelas por el COVID, los protocolos de se guridad y el poder de los sindicatos de maestros, los están impulsando a postu larse para las juntas escolares.Algunos están mo tivados por controver sias nacionales, como la teoría crítica de la raza y la educación LGBTQ+. Otros quie ren asegurarse de que la cantidad récord de dinero que se in vierte en las escuelas de California bene ficie directamente a los estudiantes. Según la Asociación de Juntas Escolares de California, aprox imadamente la mitad de los 5,000 puestos en las juntas esco lares del estado están disponibles para las elecciones de este año, pero no hay un recuento oficial de cuántos padres se pos tulan para estos pues tos que han provocado tanta ira durante la pandemia.“Estáclaro que real mente estamos invir tiendo en nuestras es cuelas públicas”, dijo Taylor Kayatta, padre y candidato a la junta escolar en Sacramen to. “Cualquier dinero que estemos ganando este año debe gastarse en los estudiantes de este año. No me gusta la idea de guardar din ero solo por guardar lo”.Kayatta agregó que quiere simplificar la burocracia en el Dis trito Escolar Unifi cado de la Ciudad de Sacramento, la cual él y su familia exper imentaron de prime ra mano. Mientras va de puerta en puerta para hablar con los votantes, comienza la conversación con la historia de su hijo y la lucha para conseguir le un terapeuta del habla en el distrito. “Hubo un año o dos en los que todos los días me despertaba y decía: ‘¿Es este el día en que ponemos nues tra casa en el merca do y nos mudamos a Folsom?’”, comentó. “Porque si no podía conseguirle a mi hijo los servicios que necesitaba, no había mucho que pudiera hacer aquí”. El abogado de 37 años busca un cargo público por primera vez. La campaña de Kayatta para la junta escolar es un recuer do de los tiempos pre vios a la pandemia: más transparencia, mejor comunicación y responsabilidad fis cal.El sindicato local de maestros del Dis trito Unificado de la Ciudad de Sacramen to lo respaldó, pero Kayatta sabe que el respaldo podría ser una desventaja. El antagonismo hacia los sindicatos de do centes alimentó gran parte del activismo de los padres durante la pandemia.“Lagente podrá de cir que soy un sirvi ente”, dijo. “Pero le he dicho al sindicato que no me voy a silen ciar”.Enotras partes del estado, los padres que creían que sus liberta des personales fueron violadas por los man datos del uso de cu brebocas, vacunas y los planes de estudios de educación sexual encontraron aliados entre los defensores de la elección de es cuelas y los oposi tores de larga data a los sindicatos de mae stros. El partido re publicano estatal ha estado aprovechando esta plataforma de “derechos de los pa dres” para apoyar a los candidatos que cree que están alinea dos con su agenda. Aún así, algunas juntas escolares están luchando para encon trar candidatos via bles, en algunos casos dejando candidatos que algunos consid eran extremistas, como Dennis Delisle en Morgan Hill, para correr sin oposición. En el condado de Sacramento, Jeffrey Perrine, quien el año pasado le dijo al Sac ramento Bee que era miembro del grupo extremista Proud Boys, se postula para la junta del Distrito Escolar Unificado de San Juan. ‘El año de los padres’ En el Condado de Orange, la oposición a los protocolos de seguridad de COVID convergió con la de fensa de las escuelas chárter.

Por Aaron Geerts Traducido por Carol Alfonso Después de 30 años de servicio, el Jefe de Bomberos del Depar tamento de Bomberos de Winters (Winters Fire Department), Brad L. López, deja su puesto para con vertirse en el Jefe de Bomberos del Depar tamento de Bomberos de Suisun City (Su isun City Fire Depart ment).Sinembargo, la de cisión de convertirse en el jefe de bomb eros de Suisun City no fue nada fácil. Nunca ha sido de los que se quedan estáticos en una zona de confort (comodidad) y con stantemente busca nuevos retos profe sionales. Para López, mudarse a Suisun City es una oportunidad para asumir nuevos desafíos y reforzar su crecimiento como líder del servicio de bomberos.López está pro gramado para partir del Departamento de Bomberos de Winters (Winters FD) el 21 de Agosto, con su primer día en el Departamen to de Bomberos de Su isun City (Suisun City FD) a partir del 22 de Agosto.Lapartida de López deja corazones pesa dos y ojos llenos de lágrimas. La admin istradora de la ciu dad de Winters, Kath leen Salguero Trepa, elogió el profesional ismo y la eficacia de López como jefe de los Bomberos de Winters. “Fue maravilloso trabajar con Brad. Es un verdadero socio, un colaborador, está ded icado a su profesión, la seguridad pública, tiene una actitud tran quila y es un solucio nador de problemas creativo,” dijo Trepa. “Voy a extrañar nues tra asociación. Es un miembro tan tranqui lo del equipo y tam bién un miembro muy eficaz. Será un ajuste para nosotros cuando se vaya y lo extrañare mosSegúnmucho.”Trepa, el pro ceso de reclutamien to para identificar al próximo jefe de bomberos comenzará después de la partida de López. Mientras tanto, el Capitán de Bomberos de Winters, Matthew Schechla, asumirá el papel del Jefe de Bomberos In terino.“ElCapitán Schech la hará un gran tra bajo haciendo mala barismos con los de beres del turno como Jefe Interino. Junto con nuestro excelente equipo de personal de bomberos pagado y voluntario, el De partamento continu ará con su misión de excelencia durante el reclutamiento del Jefe de Bomberos, que debería publicarse pronto,” dijo Trepa en su actualización del Administrador de la Ciudad del pasado 12 deSchechlaAgosto. tiene 22 años de experiencia como bombero, siete años con Winters FD y 15 con el Departamen to de Bomberos de Burney (Burney Fire Department). Schech la es el Capitán de Bomberos del Turno B, Operaciones y Ca pacitación en Winter FD. Reflexionando sobre Winters Aunque fue una transición agridulce, López reflexiona so bre su mandato con orgullo mientras mira hacia los desafíos que le depara el futuro. “Voy a extrañar a la gente de esta or ganización y su ded icación. Nunca me vi sirviendo en una comunidad en la que no vivía, pero aquí es toy,” dijo López. “Estoy emocionado por el futuro del de partamento y confío en que la ciudad en contrará a alguien que continúe liderando esta organización ha cia el futuro y aborde los desafíos. Tenemos una gran comunidad y un gran liderazgo en la ciudad y es una oportunidad para el crecimiento y cambio continuo, y el cambio es bueno.” La carrera de López en Winters FD comenzó en 1992.

The first festival the Winters Hispanic Advisory Committee organized was “Festival de la Cosecha” held on Sunday, Sept. 16, 2007. It had food and some entertainment for children. Many of the same folks that organized the first event are still organizing today. In 2008, the second festival was held, but no longer named “Cosecha” after the harvest. It gained the new name “Festival de la Comunidad” and featured a Carnitas Cook-off. There have been three years without a Festival de La Comunidad. In 2015 — when the hard work of bringing Pacific Gas & Electric to Winters was the main city focus —HAC didn’t have a festival, and again in 2020 and 2021 due to challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

two one-time block grants: the Learning Recovery Block Grant and the Arts, Music, and Instructional Materials Discretionary Block Grant. But the better budget surprise was an additional 6.28 percent increase in the local control funding formula.“State lawmakers and the governor justified it because of the significant inflationary pressures currently experienced by school districts,” Feagle said, noting the overall increase to the budget now amounts to $3.2 million.

Now Holden Events hosts a spring festival the last weekend in March. “It is something the community expects when it comes to merchants,” she said. “Without markets like these, there is no outlet for them to sell and develop relationships.”Holden said that the spring and fall festivals are all about discovering Winters. “It’s all about getting them to come and stay,” she said. “It not only supports the businesses, but it also supports tourism.” Mayor Wade Cowan agrees.“Itwas very well attended last year, and the feedback we received from our local businesses was very positive,” Cowan said, adding it offers out-of-town residents a chance to shop, eat, and enjoy

By Aaron Geerts Express staff writer Right next door to Green River Brewing & Taproom is the Bertinoia Winters Aggre gate. Although it may not be the most well-known business in town, it’s deeply rooted in Winters with a resume of ser vice that stretches back over 50Wintersyears. Aggregate began back in 1969 when Don Berti noia started mining gravel out of Putah Creek. He then began selling the gravel, and this di amond-in-the-rough business made a business out of selling theNowadays,rough. the business is run by Don’s grandson Adam. Alongside the gravel they’ve always sold, the Winters Ag gregate now sells and delivers a wide variety of landscaping materials at prices that keep their customers smiling. “We’ve been around for a little while, but we are kind of hidden down here by the creek,” said Adam Bertinoia. “We’ve got everything from pavestone to sand and con crete. Pretty much any kind of landscape material you need. We’re backyard warriors.”

“Whether you need gravel or a hole that needs filling, whatever you need, just give us a call and we’ll deliver the material wherever you need it. Our experience is all good from our side and we haven’t really gotten any complaints from customers, but if we do, we’ll try to correct them,” said Bertinoia. “We put the same effort into everybody that does business with us and we’re on a first name basis with custom ers. We’re honest, don’t beat around the bush and are fair and friendly.” A two-man wrecking crew, the business is run by Berti noia and Juan Mera, an em ployee who’s been there — as Bertinoia describes it — for ever.

Regardless,officiating. this basketball league is a healthy dose of compe tition and camarade rie for everybody who participates. After a pandemic-long hiatus, the league returned to the Young Gymna sium and every team jockeyed for the pres tigious championship. After the dust settled, the 69’ers emerged as champions.“COVIDmade every one wonder if Men’s League would ever come back, and it did thankfully,” said the team’s three-point as sassin Gerardo Agu ilera. “It’s always a good time having some friendly competition against the guys you grew up with in town. So is getting beers with them after the games.”The competition — as friendly as it was fierce — wasn’t enough to outdo the 69’ers, who will main tain their champi onship status for an other year. The team better not get too comfortable, howev er, because top con tenders such as the Toon Squad, Gafflers, Grumpy Old Men, and the Trash Bags are seeking to dethrone the champs.

Housing demand in California cooled further in July as the effects of rising interest rates and high home prices hit would-be homebuyers, dragging home sales below the annualized 300,000 benchmark level for the first time since MayClosed2020. escrow sales of existing, single-family detached homes in California totaled a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 295,460 in July, according to information collected by C.A.R. from more than 90 local Realtor associations and MLSs statewide. The statewide annualized sales figure represents what would be the total number of homes sold during 2022 if sales maintained the July pace throughout the year. It is adjusted to account for seasonal factors that typically influence home sales. July’s sales pace was down 14.4 percent on a monthly basis from 344,970 in June and down 31.1 percent from a year ago, when 428,980 homes were sold on an annualized basis. July marked the fourth consecutive monthly decline and the 13th straight annual“Indecline.themidst of the peak home-buying season, high home prices and rising interest rates depressed housing affordability to the lowest level in nearly 15 years, which in turn dampened home sales,” said C.A.R. President Otto Catrina, a Bay Area real estate broker and Realtor. “However, buying opportunities remain in the coming months for those who have been waiting on the sideline as more listings become available, competition continues to cool off and rates begin to stabilize.”California’s median home price declined 3.5 percent in July to $833,910 from the $863,790 recorded in June.

81 percent believed that interest rates will not fall within a year. Only 16 percent of the respondents thought it was a good time to buy a home, a slight in crease from 14 percent in June, and slightly down from last July’s 17 percent. Nearly two-thirds (60 percent) believe it is a good time to sell a home, pushing the Housing Sentiment Index to 59, which was significantly lower than the Index of 71 in July 2021.

Going to the fair seemed like old times
By Ashley Torres Avila Special to the Express Marlene Poston-Bell and her family honored her late father Dr. Marvin R. Poston, OD, on Thursday June 30 at a reception honoring his legacy in Rancho Cordova.OnThursday, June 30, VSP Vision hosted an in-person reception at its headquarters.Poston-Bell spoke at the reception on her father’s legacy noting, “Dr. Poston’s goal and passion for humanity was the preservation of sight. No issue too small and no one’s financial means too little. He was determined to provide the full scope of vision care to his patients. The challenges he faced along the way were unmatched by his strategic ability to circumvent, surpass, and succeed. And the joy he had in that success was also unmatched.”Poston was a co-founder of California Vision Services, now VSP Vision. Prior to that, he was the first Black student to graduate from University of California, Berkeley, School of Optometry, and the first Black American licensed to practice optometry on the West Coast. After co-founding the business in 1955, he became its president in 1963 and remained active in the company until his retirement to Napa where he became the first Black vineyard owner in the region. To this day, he is nationally recognized and respected for his roles as an optometrist, legislative and optometric professional, a pioneering Black American, role model and mentor for minority youth, community leader and statesman.

The Yolo County Fair is always a hit, even if it was a little warm this year. I only did a quick walk around this year on my way to my shift at the Rotary Beer Booth. Everything looked just the same as it did a couple of years ago, or maybe a couple of decades past. Most years, I stop by the corndog booth, but this year I only slowed down as I walked by. They are just too good to have just one, but maybe next year I’ll have my usual two, withSomethingmustard.new was the addition of the Yolo County Fair Museum that just opened. It is a nice space and I’m sure it will fill up with great treasurers over the years. I’m just hoping that they find enough volunteers to have regular hours during events at the fairgrounds.I’monthe Rotary committee that helps make the beer booth happen and a big question was how many people did we think would attend. Our beer supplier thought we would be up 10 to 15 percent, but only time will tell if they were correct. We ordered our supplies hoping that we would have fair attendance would be up. We returned a lot of our supplies on Monday, but I’m still hoping sales were still up. I only spent Saturday afternoon and evening at the fair, but it didn’t seem to be as crowded as before COVID. After it started cooling off there was a nice flow of customers and after the destruction derby it really picked up. The music was loud (a sign of my age) and people were enjoying the music, along with our beer, wine and some kind of flavored water beverage.I’musually just a worker bee at the fair, but for some reason someone put me in charge of Saturday evening. The 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. volunteers needed more supervision than I wanted to give them. Luckily there are Rotarians who want to teach people how to pour a beer without wasting gallons to fill just one glass. I wanted to just tell the volunteer Rotarian that maybe he needed to find anotherThejob. 8 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. crew was close to perfect. It was like they had served beer at the fair for years, which turned out to be a true statement. It takes 12 to 15 volunteers to sell tickets, check IDs and keep the beer flowing. My main job was to keep the kegs tapped, hand out water to the crew and watch for patrons that might be drinking too much. Luckily someone else was in charge of the money — a retired police officer and current Rotarian — and transports it to the bank at closing time. We stopped ticket sales at 11 p.m. and stopped pouring at 11:30 p.m. I started looking at my watch at 10, which is my bedtime. I found a keg to sit on and a Rotarian came over to me to see if I was okay. This isn’t a young group and one Rotarian had already suffered from heat exhaustion earlier that afternoon. We gave her some water and called her son to pick her up. She seemed better after drinking the water and sitting down in the shade. I should have put her in the 42-degree beer trailer.Mymain job was climbing into the semi-trailer and changing out the empty kegs. We were running seven kegs at a time and went through about 30 kegs on my shift. Climbing over, or more accurately, walking on top of kegs, tested my balance. Walking back with an empty keg in one hand and a flashlight in the other was the real test. If two of us went into the trailer, we would both comment that the weather was nicer inside than out. There are ten Rotary Clubs in Yolo County, so the workload is shared according to the size of the club, but profits are split evenly. Not sure who came up with that idea, but it helps smaller clubs like the Rotary Club of Winters. One hundred percent of the money we receive from our fundraisers goes to local projects like the new Senior Center or other community needs.Ifyou didn’t get to the fair this year, you can always look forward to a corndog and a beverage next year. Enjoy the end of summer and have a good week.

Sorry Charley A month ago, Charles Wallace insisted that everyone who isn’t on board with abortion on demand, whittling away the second amendment, and diminishing freedom of religious expression should leave the state of California. A week later, he currentlyyousureall,witchthingasthegravepontificatedAourlegaltheretionacceleratedadvocatedimmigra-—atatimewhenisrampantil-immigrationatsouthernborder.weekafterthat,heovertheimportanceofJan.6hearings,iftheywereany-butapoliticalhunt.FirstofCharles,I’mnotyoueverdid,butcertainlydon’trepresent the people of Winters. Your opinions — and that is all they are, opinions — are better suited to the Peoples Republic of Davis. I’m sure many others in our wonderful small town take offense to your comments, and not just because they hardly represent a “moderate Republican,” as you claim to be. The last thing we need in our lovely town is an ideologue blathering about polarizing subjects that at least half of the populace fervently disagrees with. We don’t need the Express to be a print version of Twitter and Facebook. Stick to your folksy pieces.

struck down a federal law banning state-regulated sports betting, two big-spending interests stepped up with California legalization proposals. Prop. 27 would allow Californians to bet on sports and other competitions online, but only through certified gaming tribes and large, well-established online betting companies. The measure, funded by industry giants FanDuel and DraftKings, would potentially direct hundreds of millions of dollars in fee revenue to housing and services for homeless Californians. Prop. 26, supported by some of the state’s tribal governments, would only legalize sports betting in-person at tribal casinos and designated horse tracks. The measure, which would also allow tribes to offer roulette and other dice games, would raise potentially tens of millions of dollars for the state budget, most of which would be spent at the discretion of the governor and Legislature.
• Proposition 31: Reconsidering a flavored tobacco ban: In 2020, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill banning the sale of all flavored tobacco products, whether smoked, chewed or vaped. The tobacco industry gathered enough signatures to ask voters to overturn the law with this referendum. (A reminder: Voting “yes” is to keep the law; voting “no” is to get rid of it.)
After months of signature gathering, fundraising and legislative wrangling, we have details on the ballot measures that you can vote on this fall.

• Proposition 1: Putting abortion safeguards in the California constitution: After the news leaked in early May that the U.S. Supreme Court was planning to rule that the federal constitution doesn’t guarantee the right to an abortion — and it did reverse the five-decade-old precedent on June 24 — California’s top Democrats, vowing to “fight like hell,” proposed adding the protection to the state constitution.

Proposition 30: Millionaires paying for electric cars: This measure would impose a new 1.75% tax on any individual’s income of more than $2 million per year to raise between $3 billion to $4.5 billion each year to fund a collection of greenhouse gas reducing initiatives. Most of the money would go toward new incentives for Californians to buy zero-emission vehicles and to build new electric charging or hydrogen fueling stations. (Lyft, which is required to move toward ZEVs, is a major funder). A quarter of the new money would go toward wildfire fighting and prevention efforts.
The Grand Prince Odeum at 201 Main St. in Winters is hosting two churches, one the Center for Spiritual Living, Davis (CSLD) at 10 a.m. on Sunday and the other the Church of the Rock in the afternoon. The CSLD meets at 10 a.m. in the stunning building of the Grand Prince Odeum. If starting the day positively is one’s goal, this is the way to do it. The CSLD is a multi-religious, spiritual gathering that celebrates life and the positive. Their vision is to “create an environment for all to realize the power of spiritual connection.” Their Sunday service is a powerful and life-affirming experience.CSLDcould not have a more inspiring setting than the Grand Prince Odeum (GPO), nor better acoustics. In the first service held two weeks ago, music director Billy Larkin masterfully played original spiritual compositions with a touch of Jazz. Heather Clark gave a stunning rendition of a song celebrating all the various ways people worldwide worship. The talk about blessings and how to embrace them by Rev David Clark, the Sr. Minister, was uplifting. In the second Sunday service, guest guitar player Gary Weinberg gave a lively rendition of several songs composed by Billy Larkin who is a fine composer and very inspiring. “We are so blessed to have the Grand Prince Odeum as our new home! We look forward to getting to know our neighbors and becoming an active part of the Winters community.” the Reverend David Clark, Sr. Minister said. The congregation formed over 25 years ago to serve the people of Davis and greater Yolo County. Several Winters residents were also part of the congregation before it moved to the GPO. Now that it is in Winters with a lovely auditorium and a cozy setting downstairs for fellowship after the hour service, the congregation is hoping to see new faces. Certainly, it a good use of anyone’s time and a good antidote for the negativity that permeates our world presently. The church is worth attending for the music, the message of positivity in the talks by pastor Rev. David and the camaraderie of the congregation after the service. To learn more about CSL Davis, visit their website at csldavis.org. Much good should come out of this group’s presence in Winters. This reporter will try to give you a sense of the second church in coming weeks.
