New bus service
hits the road
By ELLIOT LANDES
Staff writer
The inaugural run of the
Route 221 local bus service took off from Yolo
Housing at 10:34 on Monday June 18, running west
through town, picking up
riders,
including
city
council
member
Tom
Stone, City Manager John
Donlevy,
Yolo
county
Transportation
District
(YCTD) Director Terry
Bassett and others. The
route took them on a 35
minute
double
loop
through the nooks and
crannies of Winters, before heading back to Yolo
Housing.
The medium size bus is
shiny and new, with room
for 20 plus a wheelchair
lift. On board are collapsible grocery pull carts to be
loaned out – something the
district has not tried before. The driver has a computer GPS monitor that
times his route, to tell him
when he is “hot” – ahead of
schedule – or “cold” – behind schedule.
Until Saturday June 23,
fares will be free. After
that, the fares are $.60 for
seniors 62 and over ($42.50
monthly) and $1.50 for
adults
($60
monthly).
YCTD is offering a promotional “Summer Sizzler”
all-summer $15 pass for
kids ages 5-17. The regular
fare for children is $.35.
In addition, riding will
be free on the 15 to 20 days
per year declared “Spare
the Air” days by the California
Air
Resources
Board.
The service will operate
from Monday to Saturday
weekly, with eight trips
from Yolo Housing to
Lorenzo’s Market, the new
pool, City Park, City Hall,
and downtown. There will
be six trips daily from the
pool to Lorenzo’s and Yolo
Housing. There will be
eight trips daily stopping
at Main and Aster, Valley
Oak neighborhood, City
Park, downtown, City Hall,
Main Street, Lorenzo’s,
and the pool. The schedule and route were developed with the help of
workshops conducted by
the YCTD and the city at
Yolo Housing and City
Hall.
Brochures
and
schedule maps are available at City Hall.
The idea for the new service came from discussions between Donlevy,
Bassett, and council member Harold Anderson, who
represents the city council
to the YCTD.
The program is intended

Rosie Ramirez displays the navigation book she must read to her driver while traveling along unfamiliar back roads at speeds up
to 70 miles per hour in an off-road racing sport called rally racing. Ramirez is also a driver in a similar sport called rally cross.
Vroom!
◆ Adrenaline junkies
get their fix racing
down back roads
By DEBRA LO GUERCIO
Express editor
OK, get ready to turn
left, then right! There’s a
dip in the road and then
there’s a bump! Go left
again, another a dip, left
again and a hard right!
Try following those directions in a matter of
seconds while roaring
down
an
unfamiliar
rough dirt road at 70
miles per hour. There’s
no room for error, on the
part of the driver or the
navigator. One misunderstanding for one split second and you could be
plummeting over a cliff
rather than flooring it for
the finish line.
It’s called rally racing,
and while people might
find this much pressure
stressful, others — like
Rosie Ramirez — can’t
get enough.
Ramirez, 34, has been a
car lover her whole life.
As a child, she liked to sit
as close to the school bus
driver as possible to
watch how he or she
worked the clutch and
gears, and still thinks
that the best way to spend
a Sunday afternoon is
washing all the family
cars until they shine.
Most of all, Ramirez likes
to get behind the wheel,
but she’s no Sunday driver. She likes speed.
“I’ve been a little metal
foot since I was able to
drive — even before I got
my driver’s license,” says
Ramirez, recalling the
days when she worked on
cars with her brother,
Joe. Unfortunately, he
discovered girls and “forgot about me.”
However,
Ramirez
eventually
met
her
boyfriend, auto mechanic Jeff Baxman, and she

says “he picked up where
my brother left off.”
Together, Baxman and
Ramirez take worn out
family cars (their favorite models are Volkswagens) and transform
them into rally racers,
not only completely rebuilding, restoring and
detailing every inch of
the body and engine, but
also reinforcing them for
off-road racing, like installing special seat belts
and roll bars. Baxman
has expanded his mechanical knowledge by

working on a wide variety
of vehicles every chance
he gets. Ramirez has
learned everything she
knows hands-on.
“This is my school,” she
says, pointing to a glistening red VW Jetta. “I don’t
just sit in the cars and let
the guys do all the work. I
do the work, and I’ve done
the work, and I’m learning
something new every time
I work on a car.”
Through
Baxman,
Ramirez discovered the
world of rally racing and
met his lifelong buddies,
Jason Rohe and John
Crowningshield, and was
bitten by the racing bug.
When
Crowningshield’s
navigator decided to give
up navigating and get behind the wheel, he needed
a new one, and fast. He had
a race in two weeks. Baxman said that besides being able to read and think
quickly, Ramirez had the
main requirement for being a rally race navigator:
she could read in a moving
vehicle without getting
nauseated.
Crowningshield’s navigator, a racing veteran
named
Lee
Sorenson,
spent two weeks teaching
Ramirez everything she
knew. Ramirez, a striking,
petite beauty who looks
too delicate for such a
rough and tumble sport
that is dominated by men,
surprised them all.
“She exceeded all expectations,” says Baxman.
“She fit in perfectly.”
He emphasizes that navigating is a difficult skill to
master. She must be able
to instantly decipher the
shorthand-like notes in a
thick racecourse notebook
and read them aloud to the
driver at precisely the
right moment, all while being jostled about on rough
roads and tight turns. The
navigator must also coordinate the notations to a
dashboard computer that
verifies exactly where a
car is on the course. One
split second of hesitation
or confusion could be fatal.
The key to avoiding injury
or
worse,
says
Ramirez, is trust.
“You have to have lots of
trust. I trust John. I trust
he’ll drive what I tell him
to drive and he has to trust
me to give him the right directions. There has to be a
lot of respect and trust. If
you don’t have that, that’s
when accidents happen.
“Safety is Number One.
It’s about being safe, having fun and going really,
really fast.”
She points out that the
trust extends beyond driver and navigator for a racing team.
“I have to trust in the mechanic to make sure the
car drives well.”
Baxman adds that in rally racing, neither driver or
navigator has ever seen or
traveled the course before.
“You have to do 60 miles
per hour on trust,” he says.
Besides trust, rally racing can be grueling. Some
races last for multiple
days and cover as much as
100 miles in shorter segments each day. Ramirez
says both driver and navigator have to take care of
themselves like athletes
before a race, and make
sure they get plenty of
sleep.
You can sell it
in the
Express classifieds

Another version of offroad racing is called rally
cross, which features a
contained course outlined
by cones, usually on a
large field. Ramirez recently decided to get behind the wheel herself,
and has already competed
in two rally cross events,
placing second in the
Prairie City race, and
plans to race again on
June 24 in Antioch.
“I’ve been in love with
cars all my life, ever since
I can remember. Now I’ve
got an opportunity — now
I’m going for it.”
She also is anticipating
future rally race events as
Crowningshield’s navigator. Together with Baxman, they have formed an
amateur
racing
team
called
Speed
Secrets.
Rounding out the team is
Rohe, who will be a second
driver in the races and
plans to have his brother
become his navigator.
When the four get together to talk about racing,
their enthusiasm and dedication are apparent.
“It’s like a childhood
dream,” says Rohe, a selfadmitted speed junkie.
“To race cars and race
them off road, and with
your best friends. I’m living a dream.
“It’s about having a passion for something — being willing to work for it
and not being scared to go
ahead. You can make it
happen, but you can’t just
snap your fingers.”
“It’s a lot of elbow
grease,” agrees Baxman,
who says his love of cars
began in childhood while
playing with toy cars, then
making models of cars as a
teen. “This is a progression of all that.”
“It’s a lot of work to prepare for a race,” says
Crowningshield. Besides
the physical and mental
preparation, a lot of organization has to take place
before a race, such as securing sponsors for the
car, which are repaid with
advertisements on the vehicle.
“Every car is a rolling
billboard,” says Rohe.
On that note, Baxman
points out that Speed Secrets is searching for sponsors and notes that besides
hoping to cross over into
the professional racing
world, the team is actively
pursuing
the
use
of
biodiesel
fuel,
which
might be an attractive feature to a potential sponsor.
“It could help bring
biodiesel advantages out
into the open and see how
it can work, even at the
professional level,” says
Baxman.
“I want to win with it,”
adds
Crowiningshield,
who hopes that Speed Secrets will help bring the
world of rally racing and
rally cross more into the
public eye, noting that in
Europe, the sport is wildly
popular.
Baxman sums up the
The Speed Secrets racing team, based in rural Winters, consists of, from left, (front) driver John Crowningshield and driver/navigator
Rosie Ramirez, and (back) mechanic Jeff Baxman and driver Jason Rohe.These are two of the vehicles being turned into race cars.
team’s goals succinctly:
“To have a Speed Secrets
Racing Company that supports racing and brings
more people into racing: to
support the sport.”
“There’s a future in this
sport,” says Rohe. “It’s obscure. People in America
don’t know what it is.”
But, adds Crowningshield, “It’s the number
one motor sport in the
world.”
At the amateur level,
they admit the rewards
aren’t all that lucrative.
Race winners might receive anything from a trophy to cash prizes in Rally
America events. The bigger the race, the bigger the
cash prize.
Currently, the team is
preparing for a “24 Hour of
Lemons” race in October
in Altamont, which entails
a 24-hour endurance race
on an asphalt track. There
will be six people in the
car altogether, each taking
turns as driver in two to
three hour shifts. The
team is also preparing for
the Laughlin International Rally, which takes place
in November in Laughlin,
Nevada.
Ramirez
and
Crowningshield will be in
one car and Rohe hopes to
compete in a second car
with his brother. Baxman
will drive ahead of both
cars in a separate vehicle
to meet them at designated
checkpoints and inspect
the cars.
The last thing the team
wants people to know
about rally racing and rally cross is that it’s a sport
accessible to the average
person. Rather than requiring expensive race
cars, an abandoned junker
can be refurbished until it
shines like new.
“It can be done relatively inexpensively,” says
Jeff, estimating that about
$10-15,000 will do the trick,

as long as it’s a do-it-yourself job. But that’s part of
the attraction, he says.
“That’s what’s gratifying
— to work on it and then
get in it.”
When they aren’t getting
their adrenaline fix on the
race course, all four Speed
Secrets team members
still have to pay the bills
the old-fashioned way —
with day jobs. Ramirez
works as an administrative assistant also as a
waitress. Baxman is a tractor mechanic. Rohe and
Crowningshield, both residents of Mendocino, are a
house painting contractor
and lumber yard owner respectively. Baxman is also
originally a Fort Bragg
resident.
Ramirez, a lifelong Winters resident, is a 1991
graduate of Winters High
School. She has a daughter, 13, Rosemarie. Besides her brother, Joe, she

Opinion
LETTERS
Y GUY. He’s the best. But sometimes he
prods me to do things that make me really
uncomfortable. Apprehension curdles in
my stomach as he nudges me along.
“Just try it.”
“I’ve never done that before,” I whimper.
“I know you can do it.”
“It scares me.”
“Come on, you’ll like it.”
I can’t. I just can’t. He sighs, somewhat less patiently.
“Just touch it.”
Touch it? I don’t even want to look at it. I graze it
with a fingertip. Amazing. It didn’t bite.
“Now, turn it on.”
Turn it on. Easy for you to say. That’s foreign
equipment for me, buddy! But I know I must try,
because if I can’t turn it on, he might go find a
woman who can. I gotta just do it.
I reach out again, touch it just where he showed
me and it responds instantly!
“Now what do I do?”
“Anything you want to,” he murmurs with relief
and satisfaction.
I must admit. My freshly discovered power is intoxicating. But short-lived. What if I touch it the
wrong way next time? Will it still perform for me?
And the anxiety starts gurgling.
Ladies, I know you’ve all been there. You know
just what I’m talking about — those things men are
always begging us to play with. Electronics.
It began with a DVD player, two Christmases
ago. I didn’t actually own any DVDs, but let’s not
trip over the details. I’d bumbled along for years
in my technologically impaired little bubble with
a cheap, crappy VCR that did everything I wanted:
play, stop, rewind and fast forward.
I understand the VCR. I have zen with the VCR.
It’s just a big, fat cassette player. I can wrap my
brain around that. That’s why I resisted getting a
CD player for years. I figured they were just a fad.
However, as CDs quickly forced cassettes out of
the marketplace entirely, I eventually had to take
that next technological step.
Next: DVDs. I really appreciated my sweetie’s
gift, so I had to learn to use it. I rented a couple
DVDs and soon discovered the easiest way to start
it: by screaming at one of my kids to do it for me. I
hid this dirty little secret for as long as I could.
And then came the super duper surround sound
system last Christmas, which Joe expertly hooked
up.
Unfortunately, my television is one of the few remaining on earth that’s encased in a wooden cabinet and secretly longs for a simple set of rabbit
ears. Any modern electronics must be routed
through the VCR because that’s the only thing my
TV can communicate with.
So. After wrangling an octopus of wires and
tweaking this and that setting, Joe has it all set. He
hands me a remote with more buttons than the
control panel on the space shuttle and says, “I set
it up so all you have to do is start the DVD player.”
I stare at the remote as if it were a tarantula.
“You do know how to start the DVD player, don’t
you?”
Absolutely.
“Janine!!!”
My daughter storms in, snatches the remote,
presses some buttons, slaps the remote on the
table, commands, “Don’t touch it!” and stomps
back to IM-ing or MySpace-ing or whatever it is
teenagers do for hours on end slumped over the
computer.
Joe’s disappointment and pity were apparent.
As he patiently gave me a lesson in home electronics, he surely envisioned me riding in the little
yellow bus. Just as the cassette player is to the
VCR, he explained, the CD player is to the DVD
player. Omigod, I get it!
W-w-water!
Yes, Helen. Water.
Yes, I can now operate that stack of digital blinking boxes atop my television all by myself and
sometimes, when Lady Luck smiles upon me, the
corresponding stack of remotes too. As long as nobody touches any of the dials or settings behind
my back, which would be perversely cruel. Like
moving Helen’s furniture.
So. I’ve mastered the DVD player. And the sound
system. However, my favorite technophile noticed
that I use all that fancy-schmancy equipment
mainly as a glorified CD player. So, he gave me a
fabulous iPod and matching speaker dock for my
birthday. I love looking at it. Attempting to use it?
Not so much. But I’ll soon be working it like a pro,
or an 8th grader even. My daughter’s coming for a
visit and I know just what to do: “Janine!!!”

Thanks for
supporting fire
department
Dear Editor,
I want to say thank you to
so many wonderful people
that donated items to be
sold at this year’s yard sale
to help support our fire department. Without all of
your wonderful donations
we could not have done it.
It’s great to know so many
people wanted to help support the Winters Fire Department. We got donations from people from Vacaville, Allendale, Dixon,
Madison, West Sacramento and, of course, Winters
and the surrounding countryside.
Bless each and every one
of you, because of you. Our
sales were $4,080.60 plus a
sum of $1,800 that is coming in for a player piano
that was sold on Craigslist
before the yard sale. This
will bring our sales to
$5,880.60. Wow. Thank you
so much, Winters.
Special thanks to:
~ Dee Swanson: My little
sister. Dee was here at 6
a.m. each morning and
worked hard all day and
night until 9 p.m. She only
left then because it was too
dark to see anymore. Dee
was always there to go out
with me to pick up and
haul back and take care of
items donated. She gave
me her back patio and part
of her yard to store items
for the sale and her driveway was one of the drop off
areas that was used so
much. She helped for four
months before the sale, going out and hauling items
back. She worked all three
day at the sales as well and
then in the packing and
hauling of the leftovers.
Dee hurt in her back from
so much hard work, but
this did not hold her back,
she was always there to
help. Glad you are better
now. Thank you, Sis.
~ Kathy Hartwell: Kathy
closed her business down
each day at noon to come
help set up for three days.
Kathy owns Katherine’s
Bookkeeping on Railroad
Avenue. Kathy was also
there all three days of the
sale and for the packing
up. She also went with us
to Vacaville and other
places to bring back a
trailer full of furniture.
Kathy put in so much of her
time picking up box after
box that she hurt her back.
So sorry, Kathy, glad you
are better now. Thank you,
dear friend.
~ Debbie Lorenzo: Debbie helped by hauling and
collecting items, and loading and unloading items
that were donated. Debbie
was always there for four
months to help haul items
back. Thank you for help in
setting up the clothing
area and all the work you
did in sales all three days.
The work and the loan of
the tables were of great
help, as was the help with
hanging the signs. Thank
you, dear friend.
I am so grateful to these
three woman, without
them I could not have put
this sale together in time.
In the past three years we
had seven days to set it up
and this year we only had
two and one half days to
get it done in. Thank you,
Dee, Kathy and Debbie
~ Bill Skaggs: My son
came with a great shade
cover for us to use and he
was there to help set up all
49 tables and move furniture. He helped with the
unpacking of items. Thank
you.
~ Jim and Shelly Burke:
for giving your yard and
driveway to help set up the
sale. All the work that they
gave, and Shelly in all the
packing up of leftover
items; all her sales ability,
she was making deals and
selling furniture left and
right. Way to go, Shelly, you
did a great job. Thank you.
I also want to say that you
are going to be very
missed. I wish you and
your family all the very
best in your new home.
Thank you.
~ Robbie Rubio: Thanks
for all the storing of donated items, then for hauling
them over.
~ Terry Karlen: Thanks
for all your hauling of donated items and all the tables that you hauled over.
All 35 of them. Just thank
you for all you did to help
me.
~ Roy Irwin: Roy passed
out fliers to all the town
business’s two months before the sales. Thanks to
him doing that, we were
able to get the word out
more. Roy came on Sunday
to help pack up everything
left over. Great job, Roy,
and thank you for all your
help. Bless you, my friend.
~ Town & Country Market: Thank You for all the
plastic shopping bags and
the loan of one of the trailers that we used before the
sale to go out and bring
back donated items.
~
Winters Express:
Charley, thanks for an outstanding job again this
year. Without the Express,
we could not have gotten
the word out to everyone
about the sale. Your advertising our sale made our
donations come in better
and our sales better, and I
thank you for all that you
have helped with.
~ A very special thanks
to my husband: He always
stands behind me in whatever I do, maybe a grump
or two here and there but,
he always understands my
love for our fire department and my need in supporting them. He gives up 6
p.m. dinners and his driveway, the house and yard,
and has to park down the
street for days on end but
he knows I am doing this
for a very good cause and
he does understand. For
that I am always grateful.
Thank you, sweetheart
I would like to say in
closing that this was the
last yard sale that I can do.
I need now to take care of
my replacements of both
my knees. I will miss doing
the yard sale but, I will
help in any way that I can.
If anyone out there wishes
to take over in my place
having the 5th Annual
“Winters Fire Department
Yard Sale. I will always be
ready to help the Winters
Fire Department. Just give
me a call.

Impressed
with Velo City
Dear Editor,
I want to publicly thank
Mike and James at Velo
City Bicycle Center in Winters for the skill they applied to prepare my bike
for the challenge of its life
(and mine). I recently completed a 555 mile bike ride
from San Francisco to Los
Angeles. The ride was
sponsored by AIDS Lifecycle to raise funds for AIDS
treatment. Because of Velo
City, I never had to worry
about the performance of
my 12-year-old Lemond
road bike while on an incredibly strenuous road
trip.
Before the ride, I asked
Mike and team to tune my
bike for the trip. Their
work was so amazingly
great that I had zero trouble with my bike from start
to finish. By comparison,
many fellow riders spent a
lot of time with on-theroad mechanics, including
one guy who had eight
flats!
I have used many bike
shops but never with these
results. We are fortunate
to have Velo City Bicycle
Center in Winters. Thank
you, Velo City!

Appreciated
‘Out of the Box’
Dear Editor,
I’d like to thank Al Vallecillo and Tim Caro for
their consistently well-informed, well-written columns on a wide variety of
interesting topics. “Out of
the Box” has been one of
the features of the Express
which I’ve enjoyed most.
I’m sorry to know that it
has ended. I will miss it.
On another note: having
lived away from Winters
for some time now, I’ve
missed most of the local
gossip. The final “Out of
the Box” was my first exposure to the rumor that Tim
and Al are gay. I’ll bet their
wives and kids were almost as surprised and
amused when they first
heard about this as I was.
As Tim and Al say, though,
it’s the writing that counts.
All the best, gentlemen,
and thanks again.

Local solar
energy a drop
in right bucket
Dear Editor:
Charley’s last column got
me thinking about solar
energy, and how developing that energy source
could help our world with
climate changes, fossil
fuel shortages/dependencies, etc. So I did a little research to find out what it
would take to possibly develop that source by using
the information I’ve gathered from my own photovoltaic (PV) system and
looking on the internet.
First, here’s the report
on my PV system: It has
generated just over 8,000
Kwh
and
prevented
140,000 lbs of CO2 from going into the atmosphere
over the last 22 months.
That’s
about
364
Kwh/month generated and
6,364 lbs of CO2/month not
going into the air, on average. My meter read 100,000
in August 2005 and now it
reads under 96,000. My
home consistently generates more electrical energy than it uses, plus it prevents CO2 from going in the
air and the panel array
shades my roof. Can you
see why I believe solar is a
viable energy source and
should be developed for
our better future? PV not
only generates electrical
power, but reduces carbon
impacts to the air we all
breathe and depend on for
livable climates.
I went to www.americanenergyindependence.org, and learned
that 10,000 square miles of
solar panels using technology available today could
supply all of the United
States electrical energy
needs.
Granted an improved electrical grid distribution system would
also be needed, but just
follow me here for a moment. Ten thousad square
miles equals roughly 28
trillion square feet (feel
free to do the math or have
your kid do it for you if you
care to check). The PV system on my house is approximately 280 square feet, so
it turns out you’d need
about 100 billion PV systems like mine to satisfy
this 10,000 square mile requirement.
My system cost around
$25K before rebates, about
$12.5K after rebates. So,
using the after rebate
number, it would cost the
country about $125 billion
to go solar if the government picked up half the
tab, or $250 billion if they
didn’t. Now, you’re probably thinking like I felt:
“Gee, that would be a
daunting task for the
whole country to go solar”
when I got to this point.
And then when you consider other larger developing
countries not caring much
about the environment or
curbing their appetite for
fossil fuels, you may even
be thinking “What’s the
point, we’re all doomed,
it’s
every
man/woman/country
for
their self, let God sort it all
out in the end.”
And yes, my solar array,
Charley’s solar array, other’s here in town too and
the ones planned for Winters Highlands amount to
maybe a molecule in the
bucket that would need to
be filled to have the entire
country’s electrical needs
supplied by solar energy.
But I think it’s a molecule
in the right bucket, not the
bucket we currently seem
to be going to hell in. And
with enough molecules,
maybe a drop gets formed,
then more drops start to
fill up the right bucket...
you get the idea. Plus,
when some hot-shot solar
company figures out how
to capture electrical energy from more than just the
red spectrum of light, the
panels will get much more
efficient, and that bucket
may get a lot more drops in
it sooner than later.
Plus consider this: from
some various recent newspaper articles I Googled,

Workshop focuses
on agricultural needs
in Solano County
The Agriculture Subcommittee of the Solano
County General Plan Update Citizens Advisory
Committee is conducting a
series of community workshops to address issues
and needs of the agricultural community in Solano
County as part of the
Solano County General
Plan update program. The
community workshops are
designed to give the public an opportunity to provide input in shaping the
future of this agricultural
production region. These
workshops will focus on
future land use issues,
planning, zoning and other issues related to the
special needs of this region.
The community workshop scheduled for the
Winters/Pleasants Valley
area will be held on
Thursday, June 28, 7-9 p.m.
at Stan Lester Farms HQ,

FFA holds year end banquet
By RAVEN CASTRO
Special to the Express
The Winters FFA chapter
held its annual end of the
year banquet on May 25 to
celebrate all that it has accomplished over the course
of this year. The banquet
took place at the Winters
Community Center where
approximately 200 guests
were present.
Numerous FFA and community members were recognized for their dedication
to the chapter. First on the
agenda were FFA Member of
the Year as well as Star FFA
member recipients. The
FFA member of the year was
Amy Cross. This is an admirable award to receive. It
is given to an active FFA
member who has dedicated
herself to the welfare of the
chapter and who is a prime
example of an outstanding
member.
The
Star
Greenhand
award is given to an active
freshman that has earned
her Greenhand degree. This
award was given to Tyler
Pearce. The Star Chapter
Farmer was next awarded to
Katie Eslick. The Star Chapter Farmer is an award that
is given to an exceptional
sophomore who holds both a
Greenhand and Chapter degree.
The Blue and Gold award,
which is given to an FFA
member who is enthusiastic
about the program and acts
as the chapter’s cheerleader,

making sure they had a clear
understanding on how much
they had greatly impacted
our chapter’s success, and
showing them how appreciative we are of all they have
done. We then announced
the FFA Scholarship recipients and the outstanding senior award.
Receiving the highest dollar amount of $1,500 as well
as the Outstanding Senior

$500 went to Brock Neil.
Kraintz received her Presidents award for being an outstanding president and role
model over the past year.
Finally, we closed the
evening with the installation
of our 2007-2008 FFA chapter
officer team, consisting of
president Amy Cross, vice
president Sarah Warren, reporter Raven Castro, secretary Katie Eslick, treasurer
Ellis White and sentinel
Alex Huizar.
The banquet was a great
success and we look forward
to watching the growth of the
chapter over the year to
come. We hope that it may be
as triumphant as this past
year has been.

Grant supports family reading programs
By DIANE CAREY
The Winters Friends of the
Library (WFoL) has received
a $28,900 Special Projects
Grant from First Five Yolo
County to expand their very
successful family reading
programs with outreach,
training and parent education. The goal of the project
is to help prepare young
children in Winters for
learning by providing fun
reading experiences, introducing their families to the
benefits of reading to young
children, providing age-appropriate books, and educating parents about easy ways
to in
The project will focus on outreach to the Spanish-speaking community in
Winters by developing Spanish-language materials and
programs, recruiting and
training volunteers from the
Hispanic community, and
partnering with other community organizations serving families with young children to take programs out
into the community. Project
partners include Yolo County Library, City of Winters,
Winters Hispanic Advisory
Committee, Helping Hands
(St.
Anthony’s
Catholic
Church), Yolo Housing (Yolo
County Housing Authority),
WIC (Women, Infants, and
Children) and GET READY
Nutrition and Literacy Program (Yolo County Health
Department), Winters PreSchool (California Dept. of
Education and Winters Joint
Unified School District), and
Food Bank of Yolo County.
WFoL volunteers currently provide story time for toddlers and preschoolers on
Tuesday mornings, 10:0010:30 a.m. at the Winters Li-
brary, with stories, simple
crafts, songs and movement
games. The grant funds will
be used to add a weekly
Spanish story time at the library, a monthly pajama story time in the evening, and
two outreach events per
month at community locations where families gather.
The funds will also support the Books for Babies
program, which provides a
free gift box for any new
baby in Winters with two
age-appropriate books, a
“Let’s Read” baby T-shirt,
and information on how to
start reading with very
young children. In addition,
the grant will help support a
Family Reading Festival
next spring and a family
reading newsletter. Grant
funds will also be used to
purchase 100 new children’s
books in Spanish to add to
Waste Management reminds customers to
stay safe during summer months
June is National Safety
Month, and Waste Management of Winters is highlighting safety in the community it
serves throughout the month,
reminding customers to put
safety first for themselves
and their families.
As children begin their
summer vacation, they often
spend their free time outside, so it is important to
watch them closely. Waste
Management of Winters encourages parents to talk with
their children about safety
while playing outside and to
watch out for our large waste
and recycling trucks as they
follow their routes through
your community.
“Our customers are wonderfully friendly, and children in particular like to talk
to our drivers while they’re
out on the routes, but it’s important that parents and children not get too close to the
trucks,” said Jason Smith,
District Manager of Waste
Management of Winters.
“Safety is the top priority in
our company and we provide
our drivers with the best
safety training in our industry. People can do their part
as well to insure safety by
staying clear of our trucks
when they are in their neighborhoods.”
Smith offers the following
tips for safety around Waste
Management trucks:
~ Every Waste Management truck is equipped with
a back-up alarm. Whether
you are walking or driving
near one of our trucks, if you
hear this sound (a loud beeping) or see the white back-up
lights, be sure to move out of
the way of the truck.
~ Keep children and pets at
a safe distance from the
truck. Never get near or
climb on the truck -- whether
it is parked or operating. Do
not play or stand in or around
trash bins or cans, since you
may not know when the truck
is coming to empty them. On
your collection day, be sure
to move toys or cars out of the
path of the truck and away
from your collection containers.
~ Try to avoid cutting in
front of or stopping suddenly
in front of a Waste Management or any commercial vehicle. Large trucks require
greater stopping distance
than a passenger car. Extend
the same courtesies as you
would to other drivers and
keep a proper cushion of
space between you and the
truck.
~ Do not follow the truck on
bike, skates or skateboard.
Waste Management trucks
make frequent stops and often back up. While driving,
pass slowly as soon as it is
safe.
~ All Waste Management
trucks are equipped with a
radio or some kind of communication device that connects our drivers to our dispatch centers. If you are experiencing some type of
emergency and need help,
stand at a safe distance away
and wave your arms to motion for help. Do not approach the truck unless the
driver tells you it is safe to do
so.

BBQ will benefit
Veteran’s Van Program
The Yolo County Veterans Coalition is having its
14th Annual BBQ fundraiser
on July 14 at the Eagle’s Hall
located at 37650 Highway 16,
in Woodland. The event will
start at 5 p.m. with cocktails
and the dinner will be
served at 6 p.m.
The menu will include BBQ rib eye steaks,
beans, salad, baked potato
and rolls. The price is $15
per person and the proceeds
go to the Veteran’s Van Program.
This program provides transportation to veterans for their VA medical
appointments. The van picks
up the veteran at their home
and transports them to their
medical appointment, and
transports them back home
after the appointment. This
is done at no charge to the
veteran. These two vans
transport an average of 25
veterans a week. This program services mostly elderly
and disabled veterans who
are unable to drive.
This BBQ will feature Assemblymember Lois
Wolk, a member of the Assembly Veterans Committee
as the key- note speaker. She
will talk about veterans issues and what’s new in the
State Capitol, and present
the Veteran of the Year
Award for Yolo County.

Dead bird tests positive for West Nile Virus
The
SacramentoYolo Mosquito and Vector
Control District (District) received confirmation today
that an American Crow
found in Sacramento County
has tested positive for West
Nile virus (WNV). This is the
first confirmation of West
Nile virus activity in the District’s service area for 2007.
“It is important that
residents of Sacramento and
Yolo counties heed this
warning sign,” David Brown,
District Manager said. “We
are increasing our efforts
across the board, from educating the public to treating
mosquito breeding sources.
But what we truly need is
public support and participation. One water-filled
bucket in someone's backyard can literally produce
over 1,000 mosquitoes a
week. People can start by
draining all sources of
standing water that may support mosquito breeding
habitats, adding mosquitofish to small ponds and
bird baths, and reporting
stagnant swimming pools to
the District. We need to continue to work together as a
community to reduce the
mosquito population in our
area,” Brown said.
According to the
Centers for Disease Control
(CDC), West Nile virus
(WNV) is the leading cause
of arboviral encephalitis in
the United States. Originally
discovered in Africa in 1937,
WNV was first detected in
the western hemisphere in
1999 in New York City. Since
then it has caused seasonal
epidemics of West Nile virus
fever and severe neurological disease. West Nile virus
is transmitted to humans
and animals through the
bite of an infected mosquito.
Mosquitoes become infected with WNV when they feed
on infected birds.
Last year, in Yolo
County, 27 humans, 54 dead
birds, 64 mosquito samples
and 26 sentinel chickens

Entertainment
Summer Concerts planned
at Rotary Park gazebo
By DIANE CARY
One of the real pleasures
of the season is to listen to
live music outdoors on a
balmy summer evening.
Winters Friends of the Library invites everyone to enjoy a series of free outdoor
concerts
on
Thursday
evenings in July, from 7-8:30
p.m. at the Rotary Park gazebo.
The series will kick off on
July 5 with Jim & Gary & the
Bluebillies playing original
and traditional country music. The group features Jim
Manry on guitar and vocals,
Gary Potterton on telecaster,
dobro, steel guitar and vocals, Leland Elliot on
rhythm guitar, and Keith
Cary on string bass and mandolin. Jim and Gary have
played together for 25 years
in between their other musical projects.
Gary plays with the California Cowboys, has toured
playing pedal steel with the
New Riders of the Purple
Sage, and has earned a gold
record as a record producer.
For this special show, they
will mostly play their own
original songs, with a sprin-
kling of Hank Williams and
other country classics.
On July 12, the Flatland
String Band pans for musical
treasures in the deep river of
American song, giving a
string band interpretation to
swing tunes and traditional
melodies from the last two
centuries. The band performs old-timey gems such
as “Boats up the River” and
“Cuckoo,” plus American
popular songs from the
swing era such as “All of Me”
and “Java Jive.” The trio’s
lush vocal harmonies are
supported by Mary Neri
King on fiddle; Jamie Knapp
on upright bass, guitar, and
banjo; and Rick Palkovic on
guitar, resophonic guitar,
and mandolin.
On July 19, enjoy the jazzy,
high-energy music of the
Davis Klezmer Orchestra.
Klezmer music is Eastern
European Jewish party music, with influences from Romania, Hungary, the Middle
East, Ukraine, and the Roma
people (Gypsies). Accordionist Elaine Fingerett puts it
this way: “The Jews have
been on the road for 5,000
years and we have absorbed
the musical traditions of the
many places in which we
have sojourned.” The band
has been playing together
since the early ‘90s, and features George Weis on cello,
Julie Partansky on cornet
and marimba, Ralph Libet
on violin, Moreen Libet on
viola, and Elaine Fingerett
on accordion.
The series concludes on
July 26 with The Dropped
Roses,
playing
ballads,
blues, and rock classics. The
band features the striking
vocals of Laura Alexander,
with Rob Gonzales, Marianne Mendez, and Sebastian
Sandoval. With influences
from Bonnie Raitt to Stevie
Nicks, they will have the
crowd on their feet for a fun,
feel-good evening.
Invite your friends and
neighbors, bring a blanket or
lawn chairs or sit on the
grass, sip a cool drink, and
enjoy some fine live music
on a summer evening. The
concerts are free, but donations will be gratefully accepted. The Friends of the
Library will have pizza, ice
cream, and cold drinks for
sale, and all proceeds will
support the Winters Library.

Events feature art, agriculture and conservation
“Art and Agriculture” was
created by Organic Farmer
Annie Main of Good Humus
farm in Capay, in April 2006.
She invited Yolo County
artists to her farm to make
artwork inspired by the agricultural landscape. By creating a connection between local artists and farmers, she
hoped to help raise community awareness of the need
for farmland preservation.
After the success of that
event she began to organize
monthly, well-attended artist
visits to various farms in Yolo
County. After six months of
well attended farm visits and
much support and interest
from the local farming, artist
and educational communities, "Art and Agriculture" became an official project with
larger ambitions.
Through a partnership
with The Davis Farmers
Market Foundation, and the
Davis Farm to School Connection, Art and Agriculture
received an Art Contract
grant from the city of Davis to
fund these events this year:
~ Artist Farm Visits. Each
month there are scheduled
artist visits at various farms
in Yolo County. They typical-
ly take place in the mornings
on the second Wednesday
and Saturday of each month.
By generously opening their
farms to Art and Agricultural, Artists are able to intimately experience the precious agricultural landscape
of Yolo County. To attend a
farm visit, call Abby Rubenstein, 908-4015.
~ Art Farm. From Sept. 130, Art and Agriculture will
have an exhibition at the
Davis Art Center featuring art
work inspired by the ongoing
monthly artist-farm visits.
This is a fund-raising exhibition titled "Art Farm." All
pieces will be 12" by 12" and
will be for sale for $150. During the exhibition they will be
arranged in a large grid, mimicking farming plots. As works
are sold, they will be considered "Harvested."

Rominger West Winery will
be sponsoring this event.
There will be fresh food and
live-music as well.
By limiting the size of each
artwork, organizers hope to
include as many artists as
possible. By keeping the purchase price low, they hope to
make the purchasing of
these works possible for as
many members of the community as possible. Anyone
is invited to participate in
this exhibition. The only requirement is that all participants attend at least one
farm visit and make artwork
inspired by this visit. All
mediums and perspectives
are encouraged.
Rules for participation:
artwork must be 12" by 12"
(two dimensional) and 12" by
12" by 12" (three dimensional) and be ready to hang. It
does not have to be framed.
All works must be delivered
to the Davis Art Center on
Wednesday, Aug. 29, be-
tween 3-7 p.m. The Davis Art
Center is located at 1919 F
Street in Davis. Contact

to serve everyone in Winters, according to Bassett,
with emphasis on kids out
of school for the summer,
seniors, and low income
people needing transportation from Yolo Housing to downtown.
“City staff have been
wonderful to work with,
says Bassett. It’s important to see local support to
get this kind of program
going. It’s really the only
way to do it.”
It can be difficult to get
people in the habit of using a new bus service, and
the number of riders may
be a trickle in the beginning. Bassett has pulled
out every idea in the book
to promote the new service. The rollout includes
multi-page ads in the paper, a slide show to be
shown on the local access
cable channel, bus stop
signs that include stop
schedules, color handout
brochures, and photos of
Winters taken by local
photographers
to
be
wrapped onto the sides
and back of the bus.
One unique feature of
this service is the dial-aride program. People can
call (800) 371-2877 for the
service, which will operate between 11:40 a.m. and

Lucero named MVP
of Optimist game
By ERIC LUCERO
Express sports
The Winters Warriors
baseball team was well
represented last Saturday,
June 9, at American River
College in the Optimist All
Star baseball game for
small schools. The Warriors accounted for six of
the South’s 14 runs, three
of those coming off of home
runs
from
Nathanael
Lucero and Nick Hedrick.
Lucero put the South on
the board in the first inning with an RBI single off
North pitcher Tyler Waldron of Golden Sierra.
Then in the third, Lucero
hit his first of two home
runs over the right centerfield fence. Lucero hit his
second home run in the
fourth, this time a little
more to centerfield by the
390 foot sign.
In the fifth inning,
Lucero hit a double into
left centerfield and in the
sixth scored a runner on a
fielder’s choice hit up the
middle. Lucero ended up
batting 4 for 5 with two
homeruns, a double, five
runs scored, five RBI and
was named the MVP for
the South team.
Hedrick blasted a shot
over the right centerfield
fence in the second inning
off Waldron. Waldron, who
will be playing for UOP on
a full scholarship next season posted an 11-0 record
this season with an ERA of
.663 and had not given up a
home run until Hedrick
stepped up to the plate. After falling to a 0-2 count,
Hedrick took Waldron to a
full count, fouled off three
more then caught one of
his 90 mile an hour fast
balls and lifted it over the
380 foot fence. Hedrick finished the game batting 1
for 1 with a home run, two
RBI and a run scored.
Brock Neil started the
game at first base and then
finished his high school
career on the mound
throwing one and a third
innings and gave up just
one unearned run. Neil
came in for relief in the
bottom of the fourth and
threw the fifth. Neil also
batted 1 for 3 for the South
team with a single.
Alex Thomson also took
the mound for the South
team but his time was cut
short when the game was
called after the sixth inning. Thomson threw the
sixth inning and gave up
just one unearned run and
was scheduled to throw
the seventh. At the plate
Thomson also batted 1 for
3 with a single down the
right field line. The South
won the game 14-5 in six innings.

Brown recluse spider Stress, it’s not just for buildings
is timid creature
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
What are the symptoms of
a brown recluse spider
bite? A month ago, I got a
very itchy spot on my foot.
I squeezed it, and two little specks of fluid came
out. It still itches at times.
Could it cause muscle
soreness throughout the
body? — R.H.
ANSWER: The brown
recluse spider is found
mostly in southeastern
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, northern
Georgia and southern
portions of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa. A closely related species lives in
Arizona and California. If
you don’t live in one of
those
places,
your
chances of meeting this
spider are small.
The spider is about 1 inch
long (2.54 cm) and has the
pattern of a violin on its
back. This is not an aggressive spider. Only
when a human disturbs
its home and only when it
happens upon a human’s
skin does it bite. These
spiders like to live in closets, attics, barns and
places like wood piles.
A bite produces burning
pain and redness at the
bite site. The bite gradually turns blue or purple
and an ulcer or blister appears. Both turn black in
time. Bitten people complain of headache, body
aches and often have a
fever. They frequently
feel sick to their stomachs, and they might
throw up.
Emergency
treatment
consists of washing the
bite with soap and water
and then applying an ice
pack to it to slow absorption of the spider’s poison. The bitten site, usually a foot, leg, hand or
arm, should be elevated,
and the person should
then be taken to an emergency department for definitive treatment.
Your bite doesn’t sound
like a brown recluse spider bite. Muscle pains at
this late date are unlikely
to be due to a month-old
spider bite, especially
since no other typical
signs have occurred.
***
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
My wife is a phys-ed
teacher who spends a
great deal of time in the
heat, wind and sun.
Please provide options
for keeping the skin, especially that of the face,
looking youthful and
smooth. — M.H.
ANSWER: The sun is the
greatest destroyer of
youthful skin and one of
the greatest contributors
to skin cancer. Limiting
the exposure of the skin to
its ultraviolet rays keeps
it
wrinkle-free
and
lessens the chances for
cancer.
Sunscreens are most important. Your wife and you
should apply a sunscreen
with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or more,
15 to 30 minutes before going outside, and you both
should reapply it frequently.
Most sunscreens protect
against ultraviolet B rays,
and that is good. However,
ultraviolet A rays are also
involved in skin wrinkling. Get a sunscreen that
contains protection for
both. Zinc oxide and titanium oxide are two ingredients that provide such
protection.
Formerly,
they came in white ointments that made users
look like they were circus
clowns. Now they come in
fine particles that don’t
draw any attention.
Limiting sun exposure between the hours of 10 a.m.
and 4 p.m., when the sun
rays are their strongest,
limits the amount of skin
damage.
Wearing a wide-brimmed
hat affords protection to
the face.

Stress fractures are one
thing, but what about a
fractured memory? I remember those cheesy
emails my mom used to
send me about old people
puttering
around
the
house, going from one unfinished chore to the next,
finally completing one
thing and calling it a day. I
could not relate.
Today, I packed my son’s
acoustic bass to pick him
up from his friend’s house
for his lesson in Davis and
drove off without him.
Imagine driving all the
way to the lesson with the
bass, but no kid. I turned
around, got him, then went
to the Davis Co-op for some
Kombucha tea. It’s supposed to support immune
function,
and
being
stressed, it’s the perfect
time to start drinking it. At
the co-op, I started picking
up a few essentials, got
halfway through the store
and remembered to look
for Kombucha; it was
nowhere to be found. I
have purchased it there on
at least five occasions and
I swear the store must
have shifted into a worm
hole universe, because I
could not navigate it without feeling lost. I felt stupid when I found it and
partially
remembered
that I knew it all along.
Well, I knew it in a foggy,
murky kind of way. Stress
will do that.
After the tea, I remembered that I saw some
dried berries at the Whole
Earth Festival and my
friend Debra told me they
were cheaper at the Co-op
and to get them in the bulk
section by the raisins. I
looked up and down the
bulk section and circled it
three times. I decided to
call Deb and ask for the
name of the berries so I
could in turn ask a sales
person for help. Duh, I forgot where I put my phone.
It was in my pocket all
along. I thought about asking someone for help, but
how do you ask for help
with something when you
don’t know what it is
called?
“Do you have
those little orange chewy
things that are good for
your memory, I don’t recall
what they are called?”
There I was trying to remember the thing that
slows aging, helps vision,
blood pressure, oh and
memory. At that point, it
was obvious that I really
needed to get a big bag of
it. Whatever ‘It’ was.
Too embarrassed to ask
for help, I noticed the tea
aisle and saw tea for memory, It was about 18 dollars
a box, you can forget that. I
turned around again to
hunt the elusive chewy, orange berry, and there it
was in a bin. The Goji
berry. Ah, Eureka! I filled
my plastic bag, went to the
check-stand and couldn’t
find my co-op card. The
guy had to look me up in
the member book. He noticed that I neglected to
write the bin number on
the Goji bag, and went
through the whole book of
bulk foods and couldn’t
find it. If you have
whacked your palm on
your forehead at this
point, I think he was ready
to do that too. Rest assured, I went back and didn’t get lost. It was right
there where I left the lid
off and the scoop inside.
Doh! How could the last
person have done that?
As I pranced back to the
clerk with the numbers
6799 on my twisty, I recalled my mom apologizing, years after I had
moved out, for all the times
she yelled at me for leaving the cabinet doors open.
She said it was her all
along! After that episode I
realize the need to reduce
stress, and maybe I should
call my mom and tell her it
probably WAS me that left
the cabinet doors open.
Nah- I’m going to go eat
berries.
Pleased
to meet you

values. Best advice: Confront him or her and explain why you must say
no. A true friend will understand.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) A relationship continues to develop along
positive lines. Meanwhile, a brewing job situation could create complications for one of your
pet projects. Look into it
right away.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) Your interest in a coworker’s project could
lead to a profitable experience for you both. But
before you agree to anything, be sure to get all
your legal I’s dotted and

22 to January 19) You’re
finally able to get back
into the swing of things,
as those temporary doldrums begin to lift. Expect some surprising disclosures from a new colleague.

to February 18) Rely on
your innate sense of justice to see you through a
dilemma involving a family member. Other relatives who’ve stood back
will soon come forward
as well.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) A new friend
seems to be pushing you
into taking risks — financial or otherwise. Best

Ultima Carta
Así podríamos decir del ultimo intento del Presidente Bush, al tratar de reactivar el debate de la reforma migratoria, que hace dos semanas el Senado puso en
el congelador, es una ultima carta que se esta jugando, a
pesar de que la reforma no era la mejor propuesta, por
lo menos le había dado esperanzas a muchas personas
que no tienen documentos legales para estar aquí. La
reforma fue archivada después de no alcanzar la suficiente votación en el Senado para seguir debatiéndola.
Y prácticamente los conservadores senadores republicanos fueron los que la congelaron. Y como la política
es más importante que las personas, nuestros representantes decidieron que como no les convenía a sus intereses políticos, lo mejor para ellos fue archivarla.
Pero El Presidente Bush salió al paso, en primer lugar quiere rescatar la propuesta, porque básicamente,
salió de la Casa Blanca, y ante tantos reveses que ha
tenido últimamente, Bush espera por lo menos reactivar la propuesta para por lo menos salga del congreso y
pase a la cámara de representantes en donde por cierto
tendrá mayor oposición.
Los Demócratas, con la excusa de que la propuesta
era de la Administración de Bush, muy cómodamente
retiraron la ley de la discusión. Pero Bush se ha mostrado firme y terco en este asunto, cuando prácticamente
su mandato esta por concluir espera lograr que la reforma pase, y así de esa manera mostrar al mundo que si
tiene capacidad para hacer las cosas que un líder tenia
que haber hecho desde el inicio de su mandato.
Quiere rescatar su nombre, no quiere que lo asocien
con la presidencia más desastrosa que han tenido los
Estados Unidos en mucho tiempo. Sus principales partidarios, los republicanos conservadores, ahora lo están dejando solo, y lo están culpando de los abusos y errores que ha tenido el presidente, pero el obstáculo
más grande que tiene el presidente con sus senadores
republicanos, es que los senadores están aterrados con
la idea de legalizar a los indocumentados, y al parecer
nada los va a hacer entender que es necesario tener
nuevas leyes migratorias.
La presidencia de Bush no quiere estar resignada a
ser calificada simplemente como ineficiente o mala,
sino una que pese a todo está decidida a por lo menos
intentar algunas cosas y ejercer poder hasta lo último.
Bush siempre ha dicho que juega para la historia. Muchos de sus predecesores fueron en su momento impopulares y reivindicados sólo después de años de su
mandato. Bush espera tener el mismo destino, más allá
de veredictos inmediatos.
Entendemos que el aprobar una reforma migratoria
no es nada sencillo y que implica mucha voluntad
política por parte de los Senadores y Congresista de
este país. Que sin embargo sabemos que ellos se rigen
no tanto por sus convicciones políticas, sino por sus
compromisos con las grandes corporaciones, con esas
que les patrocinan sus campañas políticas, con aquellas que los encumbran en el poder tan solo por obtener
concesiones y favores, por eso no se debe tener mucho
optimismo a pesar de que Bush haya metido las manos
para mantener la propuesta a flote, hay demasiadas
fuerzas políticas encontradas, que a estas alturas, podríamos esperar algo mas que un milagro para que esta
propuesta siga adelante, mientras tanto los indocumentados esperaran, como ya han esperado muchos años
para poder regularizar su situación migratoria.
La lectura de un libro no
tiene precio, todos sabemos
la importancia de la lectura,
el fomentarla en nuestros
niños y en nosotros mismos
es de mucha utilidad, para
los niños la lectura incrementa las posibilidades de
tener éxito en los estudios,
para nosotros los adultos
aparte de que nos sirve de
distracción de nuestras actividades cotidianas, nos
ayuda para conocer nuevas
ideas, cosas nuevas, y quizá
el modo de vivir y pensar de
otras culturas. Pero muchos
estudiantes al momento de
salir de la escuela, se olvidan de los libros, y nosotros
siempre ponemos el pretexto de la falta de tiempo para
comenzar a leer.
Debemos alentar a nuestros estudiantes para que
lean en este verano, por que
el no hacerlo, quizá en el retorno a clases tengan que
volver a repasar sus habilidades en leer para, para retomar el próximo ciclo escolar. Puede tomarles hasta
dos meses para ponerse al
parejo con el resto de los estudiantes, y como siempre
sucede los mas afectados
suelen ser los alumnos que
provienen de familias de escasos recursos, y a los que de
hecho ya están rezagados en
la lectura.
Puede ponerse como meta
tal ves leer de cuatro a seis
libros en el verano, para no
perder la practica que tal
ves ya adquirió en la escuela. Pero para empezar a
leer, y hacer un habito la lectura, se tiene que dejar atrás
muchos
obstáculos,
el
primero de ellos, la televisión, debemos apagar la
televisión para que nuestros
niños se enfoquen en leer, y
nosotros también como
padres les debemos poner el
ejemplo, tal ves leyendo el
periódico, o algún buen libro, debemos enseñar con el
ejemplo.
Aquí en Winters tenemos
la biblioteca, en ella aparte
de poder llevar libros para
leer en la casa, también
tienen programas de lectura
para los niños, otra buena
idea es empezar una colección de buenos libros, no se
tiene que gastar mucho
dinero para empezar a formar su propia colección,
otra manera divertida de
leer con sus niños es leer recetas de cocina, y como complemento a la lectura intente
realizar alguna receta que
les guste. Nosotros podemos
crear numerosas situaciones
para motivar a nuestros hijos para que se mantengan
leyendo en el verano, y comprobaremos que la transición al próximo año escolar
será más tranquila.
Progreso escolar
Con el fin del ciclo escolar
llega el tiempo para revisar
el reporte de las escuelas
de Winters, el reporte indica que se cumplieron las
metas que se trazaron, indica que el aprovechamiento
de los estudiantes va mejorando, pero no como el distrito quisiera. Y es que el
distrito escolar tiene la preocupación porque no se ha
podido cerrar la brecha entre los estudiantes latinos y
los que están aprendiendo
ingles en comparación con
el resto de los estudiantes,
además se tiene el problema con la inscripción de
nuevos alumnos, se esta
dando la tendencia que la
inscripción de nuevos estudiantes esta declinando, y
este descenso significa que
el distrito estará recibiendo
menos
dinero,
recordemos que el distrito
escolar recibe cierta cantidad de dinero por alumno
inscrito.
El distrito económicamente esta mas o menos es-
table, en parte por todos los
movimientos que se tuvieron al mover las escuelas
el año pasado, y también ha
ayudado mucho la reducción y el cambio de personal administrativo.
Con la esperanza de ayudar mas a los estudiantes, el
próximo ciclo escolar el distrito va a implementar el
programa EXCEL en la escuela Waggoner, el programa ayudara a los niños a
que tengan un buen inicio
en el lenguaje y lectura.
Además otras escuelas han
implementado programas
para ayudar a los estudiantes a llegar o exceder las
metas establecidas por el
distrito en el área de
matemáticas, lectura y
lenguaje. Se espera que los
estudiantes que están debajo de las normas puedan
gradualmente ir mejorando
su aprovechamiento, para
ponerse a la par con el resto
de los alumnos.
Gobierno Federal autorizo el posponer el uso del pasaporte
La semana pasada el Gobierno Federal autorizo el
posponer el uso del pasaporte para las personas ciudadanas que viajen a México, Canadá y las Bermudas.
El gobierno tomo esta medida ante la enorme solicitud
que se ha presentado en las
oficinas en donde se procesan los pasaportes, además
también elimino otros requisitos. Con esto El Gobierno
trata de acallar las protestas
que han surgido porque al
Departamento de Estado le
esta tomando mucho tiempo
realizar el tramite, tal
parece que no calcularon el
alto volumen de solicitudes
que iban a procesar, les esta
tomando hasta tres meses la
expedición del pasaporte, y
esto ha arruinado los planes
de viaje de miles de estadounidenses.
Para finales de septiembre, los estadounidenses podrán viajar por aire sin pasaporte si presentan un recibo emitido por el Departamento de Estado, que demuestre que han solicitado
un pasaporte, así como una
identificación emitida por el
gobierno, como una licencia
de conducir. Las personas
que no tengan un pasaporte,
sin embargo, serán someti-
das a revisiones más estrictas, que incluirían una entrevista amplia y la revisión
de sus equipajes. Si no se
toman las medidas necesarias el año próximo se presentaran los mismos problemas con los pasaportes, ya
que para poder viajar en carretera a Canadá y México, se
necesitara también el pasaporte.
de Autobús
El nuevo servicio de autobús de YOLOBUS, empezó a funcionar aquí en
Winters desde el pasado
18 de junio, el servicio
servirá a la ciudad y al
Yolo Housing, y es para
todo el publico. Con el
nuevo servicio se pretende acercar mas a los
residentes del pueblo,
ofreciendo
transportación a las familias y
jóvenes para que se
puedan desplazar a la
nueva piscina del pueblo,
o ir a los programas de verano que la ciudad esta
ofreciendo en el parque,
e inclusive pueden viajar
al cine a Davis, o a Vacaville.
El servicio funcionara
de lunes a sábado, hará
ocho recorridos diarios,
la ruta es Yolo Housing, la
tienda Town and Country,
la nueva alberca del
pueblo, el parque del
pueblo, City Hall, y el centro de Winters.
Siete viajes de la nueva
alberca a la tienda Town
and Country, y regreso a
la nueva alberca. Siete viajes, cuya ruta es: la calle
Main, el vecindario de
Valley Oak, el parque del
pueblo, centro de Winters, el City Hall, calle
Main, la tienda Town and
Country, y la nueva alberca del pueblo.
De las 11:40 AM a la 1:26
PM, el autobus estará
disponible para quien lo
necesite. Esto ayudara a

Wednesday, June 27 is
National HIV Testing Day, a
national campaign coordinated by the National
Association of People with
AIDS (NAPWA-US). The
theme of this year’s Testing
Day, “Take the Test, Take
Control” encourages highrisk people to seek voluntary HIV testing and counseling.
The Center for Disease
Control estimates that over
1 million Americans are living with HIV and yet nearly
250,000 are unaware of their
HIV infection. At a local
level, it is estimated that
over 5,000 people are living
with HIV/AIDS in the
greater Sacramento area. In
Yolo County, it is estimated
that over 280 people have
been
diagnosed
with
HIV/AIDS, and over 115
local residents have lost
their lives to the disease.
For people who test positive
for HIV, learning their HIV
test results helps them take
steps to protect their own
health and that of their partners. For those who test
negative, learning their HIV
status can help them get the
information and support
they need to stay uninfected.
While there are no formal
events planned for National
HIV Testing Day in Yolo
County, it is important to
note that HIV testing is an
ongoing project by the Yolo
County Health Department
and its community partners.
In the past twelve months,
over 600 people have tested
for HIV in Yolo County.
There are several sites in
the county that offer free
confidential HIV tests.
Many do not require a blood
sample. Individuals interested in receiving an HIV
test can contact the following agencies:

Centers – Peterson Clinic,

Heat protection tips
As temperatures are
expected to rise above the
100 degree mark this week
for the first time this year,
Yolo County officials are
reminding all county residents to take measures to
protect
themselves
accordingly. Especially
vulnerable populations
include: people over 65
years of age, children
under 4 years of age, people who work outdoors,
those who are overweight
and those who are ill or
may be on certain medications that can affect their
ability to handle fluids.
“Over exposure to heat
is serious and can be
deadly,” said Yolo County
Health
Officer
Bette
Hinton, M.D.
Residents who do not
have adequate air conditioning may experience
heat-related
problems.
Even a few hours spent in
air conditioning can help
your body stay cooler if
you need to go back into
the heat.
Residents are urged to
protect themselves during
hot weather by taking the
following precautions:
~ Stay cool indoors in
air-conditioned facilities,
especially during the
hottest part of the day.
~ Wear lightweight,
loose fitting clothing and
sunscreen.
~ If you become lightheaded, feel confused or
experience any other
symptoms of heat exhaustion, get to a cool area
until you feel better.
~ Never leave a person
or animal in a parked car.
Temperatures inside a
vehicle can rise to dangerous levels in minutes.
~ Don’t forget that pets
also need extra water and
shade.
CAL FIRE hosts meeting on proposed
Yolo County fire hazard map
The
California
Department of Forestry
and Fire Protection (CAL
FIRE) will introduce a
proposed update to the
fire hazard severity zone
map for state responsibility area lands in Yolo

on June 21. The public
hearing will be held at
Woodland
City
Fire
Department Station 3 at
1550 Spring Lake Ct. from

California law requires
CAL FIRE to produce
maps identifying areas
that face moderate, high or
very high fire hazard within property for which the
state has financial respon-
sibility for wildland fire
protection. The maps are
used to determine legal
requirements
affecting
property owners including
building
construction
standards. The maps were
last updated in the late
1980s. It is necessary to
update the maps to ensure
accuracy and incorporate
improved fire science and
mapping techniques.
The hearing will include
an overview of the process
used to develop the map. A
large format version of the
map will be on display at
the hearing and on the
CAL FIRE Website at
www.fire.ca.gov. The public will have an opportunity to submit a public comment on the map at the
hearing and by mail or email following the hearing. CAL FIRE will review
and respond to all public
comments before the maps
are adopted or revised by
the CAL FIRE Director.
Comprehensive information on the map update
process is available at

Pleasure Cove Resort Has Levels of
Disinfection Byproducts Above Drinking Water Standards
Our water system recently violated a drinking water
standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our
customers, you have a right to know what happened,
what you should do, and what we are doing to correct
this situation.
We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Average testing results we received between April 1, 2006 and March 31, 2007
show that our system exceeded the maximum contaminant level (MCL), for Total Trihalomethanes. The
maximum contaminant level for Total Trihalomethanes is 0.080 mg/L. The average level of
Total Trihalomethanes during the period January
2006 through December 2006 was 0.094 mg/L.
As a result of disinfecting drinking water, disinfectant
byproducts may form. Design and/or disinfection
modifications may reduce the level of disinfection
byproducts in drinking water.
What should I do?
You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. However, if you have specific health
concerns, consult your doctor.
What does this mean?
This situation does not require that you take immediate action. If it had, you would have been notified immediately.
The California Department of Health Services
(CDHS) sets drinking water maximum contaminant
levels and requires the disinfection of drinking water.
However, when used in the treatment of drinking water, disinfectants react with naturally-occurring organic and inorganic matter present in water to form
chemicals called disinfection byproducts (DBPs).
CDHS has determined that a number of DBPs are a
health concern at certain levels of exposure. Some
people who drink water containing trhalomethanes
in excess of the MCL over many years may expeience liver, kidney, or central nervous system
problems, and may have an increaseed risk of getting cancer.
What is being done?
Pleasure Cove marina in February 2007 completed
a comprehensive cleaning and flushing of the water
systems storage tanks and distribution lines to reduce the organic mater that may have accumulated
in the system. Samples taken March 26, 2007 after
cleaning and flushing for Total Trihalomethanes indicates that the levels appear to have dropped to
0.083 mg/ but are still above the maximum contaminant level for Total Trihalomethanes of 0.080 mg/L
We are currently communicating with SRDHS &
Phillips & Associates to resolve this issue.
Would you like to be a part of our team?
We would love to have you join our
growing workforce of over 300 employees:

For more information, please contact Terry Sparkman at 707/966/9600. Alternatively, contact us by
mail at 6100 Hwy 128 Napa California 94558
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may
not have received this notice directly (for example,
people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and
businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in
a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
