Sports park
plans pitched
A PEEK AT
OUR NEW PARK
By ELLIOT LANDES
Staff writer
“We’re pleased with the
plan we are presenting today, but we are open to
changes based on your input,” said John Nicolaus,
landscape architect from
HLA Landscape Architects, speaking of the plan
presented at the July 12
meeting of the park committee.
This citizen committee
has moved from identifying needs at the April 18
meeting to setting priorities and getting a primer
on park design at the May
11 meeting to viewing a
real plan for the site at
this, the third of four such
meetings.
HLA operated a booth
on Youth Day and received
ideas and drawings from
kids on what they would
like to see in their new
Graphic by HLA Group Landscape Architects and Planners, Inc. parks.
The proposed Winters Sports Park features a baseball diamond, three Little League diamonds, a parking lot, picnic area, play strucThe plan covers both the
tures, basketball court, soccer field and a skate park.
linear park proposal and
the sports park.
The linear park cuts a
narrow swath north-south
through the future Winters
Highlands development.
It will be developed in
three phases.
The north segment will
be developed first and
hosts the greatest number
of amenities, including
two playground areas, a
dog park, beach volleyball
courts and tennis courts.
The playground area will
have brightly colored butterfly-shaped shade structures and prefab climbing
boulders.
The design for the middle section includes a
gazebo, a community garden and a hill with terraced seating. All segments have sidewalks
around the perimeter and
a
network
of
paths
throughout.
The sports park is located north of Moody Slough

Meet Katie Jane — again
By DEBRA LO GUERCIO

Winters native Katie Jane Goudie, known professionally as Katie Jane, is pursuing her career in
the music world. She and her band, also known
as Katie Jane, will perform at the Earthquake
Street Festival on Friday, Aug. 18.
Some folks in town already know Katie
Goudie. She was the girl who played flute
in the Winters High School marching
band and sang in the high school choir, or
the one who raised goats in the Winters 4H Club, or graduated with the Class of
2000. Or maybe they know her as the slim,
quiet young lady who’d occasionally sing
karaoke at one of the local pubs and put
all the other local crooners to shame.
Those people will have to meet her all
over again, along with new future fans at
this year’s Earthquake Street Festival.
Katie, who performs as Katie Jane with
her band of the same name, will be one of
this year’s opening acts.
Although Katie works as a telephone
operator at UC Davis, that may only be for
the short term. Katie Jane plans to release its first CD by the holiday season
under the independent label, Pocket
Records. A solo CD is expected to follow.
A natural born musician, Katie plays
flute, piccolo, guitar and drums, and
taught herself to play the piano only
three years ago. Piano is her instrument
of choice when it comes to performing,
and her band is rounded out by Joe Menegus on guitar, Abe Smith on bass, Owen

Pampering pooches along Putah Creek
By ELLIOT LANDES
Staff Writer
One of Vacaville’s best known dog
groomers has opened a salon in the
Winters area.
Denise Caudle has worked in animal
grooming for 24 years, with 20 years in
her own shop known as Caudle’s K-9
Castle. She noticed a lot of customers
coming from Winters in recent years
and so decided to open up a second
shop here.
“She’s almost like a dog whisperer,”
says her daughter Desiree. She has a
great ability to read animals and put
them at ease.”
“As many as half the animals we get
can be difficult when they first come
in,” says Caudle. “I like to treat them
like my own and make them enjoy the
visit. You have to love the animals or

you are in the wrong business.
“Many groomers restrict themselves
to small or large dogs only, or refuse to
take certain breeds.”
She has done well in her Vacaville
shop because she is willing to take in
all breeds and is willing to take them
on short notice. She has also done
grooming on cats, pigs, rabbits, ferrets,
guinea pigs and birds.
Costs average from $25 to $35, and
can go up to $100 for large dogs that
take hours of work. $60 is typical for
most large dogs.
The grooming service she offers includes brushing, trimming, clipping
nails, bathing and drying. Caudle does
a complete inspection and she removes tics and foxtails when they are
accessible without the services of a

Nut Tree development moving along
Lori Coleman, project
manager for developer
Snell & Co. “Initially we
were delayed by the rains,
but now everything is
right on track.”
The development will
include 325,000 square
feet of retail, the Nut Tree
Family Park amusement
park, 180 town homes,
150,000 square feet of office space, a limited-service hotel and a 200-room
business hotel and conference center when completed.
The first phase will include rides for the amusement park, bocce courts,
and the more than 300,000
square feet of retail space,
which is about one-third
the size of Westfield
Solano mall.
The amusement park is
expected to open shortly
after Labor Day. Stores
will continue to open
through the end of the
year as more space is
leased and retailers complete construction on the
interior of their shops.
The exterior of the buildings are expected to be
completed in August.
When the project is complete, the retail and entertainment components of
the Nut Tree are expected
to draw 3 million visitors a
year.
Subsequent phases of
the project will include
the office space, townhomes, hotel and conference center. Deadlines for
the second phase haven’t
been released.
The amusement park’s
main attraction will be its
restored train that will
shuttle passengers along
1,800 feet of track. The
park will also include a
smaller-sized roller coaster, bumper cars, skee ball,
a carrousel and other
rides aimed at children.
“The rides are all complete and will be installed
in the next 30 days,” Coleman said.
The amusement park
will be free to enter and
tickets will be sold for the
rides. Day passes and sea-
son passes will also be
available, although the
latter will be released in
limited supply.
Four birthday rooms in
the park will be available
for guests to rent. The
rental cost will include an
all-inclusive birthday party, including the cake and
refreshments.
“You pay and we take
care of everything,” said
Ilana Minkoff, marketing
director.
Up to 20 birthday parties a day will be held in
the park during peak season, Minkoff anticipated.
The Harbison House,
the original home of the
Powers, is located in the
amusement area and will
one day be home to a Nut
Tree museum. The Vacaville Museum is organizing
a fund-raising campaign
and hopes to open the museum in the next two to
three years, Minkoff said.
rock and pop numbers,
many of which are original songs. Katie has written about 50 of her own
songs, and when asked
which musician or performer influences her
most, she says there are
“too many to list.”
“I listened to a lot of
classic rock and country
growing up. When I got
into middle school, I listened to everything else I
could find.”
Writing her own songs,
she says, is therapeutic.
“I just sit down at the piano and play, and think
and play, and think and
play, and when I get up, a
new song is written. It’s my
form of art. It’s just something I do.”
Although she struck out
on her musical career as a
solo performer, Katie says
working with a band has
been gratifying.
“I enjoy playing with the
band more than playing as
a
solo
artist,”
says
Katie.“It’s fun to have
everyone’s style and influence mix and mesh together to make a unique
sound.”
She met her guitar player when he was seeking a
female vocalist for a cartoon soundtrack, and they
decided to keep working
together,
eventually
rounding out the band, using her solo name for the
band’s name as well.
With a respectable songbook and two CDs in the
works, Katie says her immediate goal is to go on
tour with the band. She’s
already met some of the
goals she set for herself
earlier in life.
“I wanted to be able to
play and just be in a band.
Now I’m able to do that,
and it’s really fun.”
As for fame and fortune?
Katie’s pretty nonchalant.
“If it happens, it happens, but for now, it’s just
for fun.”
If it does happen, appearing at the Earthquake
Street Festival may be one
of the bands first steps.
Katie says she’s excited to
be performing for her
home town.
“It’ll be nice to see familiar face. I miss Winters,” says Katie, who now
lives in Davis with her
daughter, Layla, 5.
Anyone who just can’t
wait until the Earthquake
Street Festival (which
takes place on Friday,
Aug. 18, 5-11 p.m. on downtown Main Street) to check

Like most of the land
around the development,
the Nut Tree project used
to be farm land. Unlike
most of the land around it,
the Nut Tree was famous
farm
land.
England’s
Queen Elizabeth II even
paid it a visit in 1983.
The farm gained acclaim when Helen and
“Bunny” Powers started a
fruit stand that culminated in a restaurant with
functioning train to shuttle pilots to and from the
nearby airport.
Now the famous land, located about 12 miles south
of Winters near the junction of Interstates 505 and
80, is being transformed
into a multi-use development. And it’s nearly complete. Some of the businesses likely will open as
early as August.
“We are on schedule to be
substantially completed
with construction on or
about Labor Day,” said
KATIE
Myers on B-3 organ and
Rudy Flores on drums.
Katie says she’s been
singing and playing music
for as long as she can remember and started performing
professionally
about a year ago. Katie
Jane came together in
April, and this year’s
Youth Day was one of their
first public appearances.
More recently, they have
performed at the G Street
Pub and Sofias in Davis,
Luna’s Café in Sacramento, and were featured on
Channel 10’s “Sacramento
& Co” morning show.
Katie has also performed
by herself at the Westley

Opinion
HEN WE LAST LEFT OFF, I was on the
balcony of a 12th story hotel room watching the torrent over downtown Philadelphia, wondering if I could bum a ride with Noah
back to California. The downpour was biblical, by
California standards, where every prissy little
rain shower is breathlessly declared a storm on
the local evening news. By Pennsylvania standards, relentless summer thunderstorms don’t
even raise an eyebrow. Maybe they’re even anticipated with joy because they provide respite from
their snowbound winters.
“But our autumns are so beautiful,” Pennsylvanians always say in defense of their undeniably
gorgeous but soggy state. I’m sure they are. And
those scant few weeks when the hills are ablaze in
yellow and red are worth 11 months of meteorological misery.
Uh huh.
The hills are ablaze in yellow and red in California in the fall too, PA. For real. So there.
Compared to our black, charred hills and smoky
September skies, I guess Pennsylvania wins the
Best Autumn contest hands down. A few orange
Chinese pistache trees dotting the freeway median strips for a week or so in November constitutes
“autumn color” in California. And don’t go away
for a week, you’ll miss the entire season. Ditto for
our blink-and-you’ll-miss-it springs. This year,
spring happened in California from 11 a.m. to 4:37
p.m. on April 13. Bummer. I was at the mall.
Missed the whole shebang. Ran the heater in the
car on the way over, the AC on the way back.
Woohoo! 4:38! It’s summer!
Apparently Pennsylvania has an actual springtime, when the snow turns into rain, and it “warms
up” into the 50s. In California, we call that “December.” Egads. I start shivering when the temperature drops below 70. Pass the mittens and the
hot chocolate, because baby, it’s cold outside – it’s
only 60 degrees! Meanwhile, back in Pennsylvania, when the mercury hits 60, they’re firing up the
barbecues and running through the sprinklers.
Hey. Penn-ies. Just because the front yard has
thawed to permafrost doesn’t mean it’s time to
break out the huaraches and the Coppertone.
Your blue lips should be a clue.
Bottom line, if I were living in Pennsylvania, I
could enjoy a few weeks outside in the fall, spend
about nine months bundled up like Kenny on
South Park, and the rest of the time sweltering,
sweating and swearing like I’m having an endless
hot flash.
Or, you point out, I could just stay right here in
sunny, warm, dry California.
I could. I could do just that. But I might not. Because although Pennsylvania has the worst weather this side of Siberia and Guam combined, it has
one thing California doesn’t: the most wonderful
man in the world.
Yes, I have a guy. Have had for years. His name is
Joe. If you’ve been paying attention, you know I refer to my Best Friend and Biggest Fan on occasion. What did you think I was talking about? A little old lady named Maude who runs my fan club?
Sheesh.
Anyway. Back to the issue at hand. I’m faced
with a dilemma. Perfect living vs. perfect loving.
Here or there, here or there. That’s the endless
“tick tock” in my head. To tick or to tock, that is the
question. If only Blind Justice had a cousin, Blind
Decision, to make the choice for me, because I’m
stuck, stuck, stuck. (Anyone who’s successfully emigrated from California without regrets – or not —
please share. I need input. California is a one-way
door. If you leave, you’ll never get back in. I only
get one shot at this decision.)
I know, I know, this is quite a bomb to drop in the
middle of an otherwise mundane little column
about spoiled Californians visiting other climates. But the time has come to throw the issue
out to the universe and see what it tosses back.
Why now? Well, Joe and I decided a long while
back that despite the hassle and expense of flying
back and forth, and the torment of being apart,
we’d remain in place until our respective children graduated from high school and moved on to
employment, college or marriage. As of last
month, all our children reached that milestone.
When my daughter leaves for college in August,
all the little birds will have flown from their nests.
Now it’s time for us to fly. But to where? Both
choices offer different but equally balanced positives and negatives.
Here or there. Here or there. Tick tock. Tick
tock.

All involved were fantastic
Dear Editor,
This past weekend, the
community of Winters was
treated to an excellent experience of Shakespearean comedy original music
and great local talent in
every aspect of play production.
I know I speak for many
when I extend a heartfelt
“thank you” to renowned
director Russell Saint
Clair and dedicated coproducers Denise Cottrell
and Mary Lou Linville of
the Winters Shakespeare
Workshop. Because of
their talent, dedication
and personal commitment, the lives of many
people, both young and
young-at-heart, have been
touched, enriched and
greatly enhanced. As well,
the charm of Winters as a
community, wherein the
arts are flourishing, was
given a resounding affirmation. Additionally, one
of the best uses of the art of
communication, as a tool
for positive community
building was espoused,
tested and proven both
successful and fun. All
this and the pure joy of experiencing a great evening
of free and excellent entertainment are definitely
reasons to be grateful.
For those of us fortunate
enough to have teenagers
who participated in this
production, whether as actors, musicians, technical
staff or in other capacities,
the value of this experience goes even further.
Our kids have been happily working extremely hard
in a voluntary endeavor
for the past six weeks,
learning to work cooperatively, making responsible
choices, taking constructive criticism, reaching inward to tap their talents
and exposing themselves
to parental oversight and
public scrutiny in a willing effort to create something positive for themselves and their community. They have learned immeasurable lessons, had
great fun, and may well become more involved members of the communities
they will someday inhabit
as a result.
Their families have
been supportive and enthusiastic, and what they
have given in return is
more than ever expected.
We are truly proud of you
and
encouraged
that
young people like you will
help influence the future.
I think I speak for all of
your families when I express how much we appreciate the opportunity to
parent such great kids as
you have proven to be.
Sooo…

T’S TIME FOR A VACATION. The guy that is
supposed to be on page 2 thinks my new photovoltaic system is causing his weather station to
read hotter than it really is. I told him it is just hot.
I’ll admit that the shade structure that holds the
solar panels might affect his weather station, but
in the opposite direction. The panels shade Cody’s
tin building and that has to be cooler than hot tin
reflecting onto his white weather station box.
It is true that the alley used to be gravel as was
our parking lot, but now the alley is paved and we
park on Pavestone pavers. There is a tour bus
parked next to the station from time to time, depending on what kind of music is playing at the
Palms. Pop has been reading the weather for over
50 years and has the plaques from the National
Weather Service to prove it. No money of course,
but years of weather data and thank you notes
from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as the weather service is now called.
He has been grumbling about passing the thermometers to someone else, but it keeps him out of
trouble and we know where he is every day at 9
a.m. Having a daily chore must be good for you. At
87 he still shows up to work before 8 a.m. and
tends to his garden, buys a Chronicle and walks
home to have another cup of coffee with my mother, and then walks back to the office.
We used to wonder what he does all day, but the
last time he went on a vacation we found out. No
one took out the garbage, we ran out of bathroom
supplies and if a light burned out, we were left in
the dark. His downtown merchant paper route isn’t hard to take, but his route in Esparto takes a
while.
The older I get the more I think about kicking
back, cutting back and road trips. I mentioned
that I would like to semi-retire when I’m 60, in
about five years. There was a pained expression
on Pop’s face and he looked at me and asked,
“What am I supposed to do if you retire?” I tried to
explain that I wasn’t planning on retiring any time
soon, and wouldn’t mind modeling my retirement
after his. Work when you want at your own pace.
Having cold beer and a pool table in his office
doesn’t sound like a bad retirement plan.
It made me laugh when I thought about his response. When I turn 60 he’ll be 91. If he’s still reading the weather, working in his garden, playing
pool and drinking beer on Wednesday afternoons,
I’ll be more than happy to keep him working on
the paper in his spare time. That could become my
new job. Keeping old guys working while I’m semiretired.
We used to joke about Pop being the oldest paper boy in America, but I’m not so sure it is a joke
anymore. The weather service shows up every five
years to give him a new plaque named after some
famous weatherman. The last time they showed
up they had to make up a new award because no
one else in the weather service volunteers forever.
Look around Winters and there are lots of people who have volunteered their whole lives. At the
sod laying party last Saturday morning at Rotary
Park, enough people showed up to lay almost
10,000 square feet of sod. That’s a lot of sod. I had
my doubts and asked if there was a backup plan,
like having some paid people to show up on Monday to finish the job. I was told there was no plan
B.
The party started at 8 a.m., but when I showed up
with camera in hand, wheelbarrow in the van,
about half the sod was already laid. There were
people with wheelbarrows bringing sod to multi
people on their hands and knees lining up the
seams and moving rapidly across the new park.
I took a few photos, felt a little guilty, and got in
line with my wheelbarrow and like ants, we
moved pallet after pallet of sod until it was gone.
We were short. I looked at Dan Maguire and he
just smiled. A truck was on the way with 4 more
pallets. We were almost finished, and as the truck
unloaded the pallets, he left two for us and took
the other two back to the farm. I wasn’t the only
one who had visions of free midnight sod, but it
was not to be. We used every roll of sod we could
find, and when it was over, the sprinklers were
sprinkling and everyone was smiling.
I knew almost everyone there and when I took a
picture of Clayton Brugger, I asked him his name
and how long he had lived in Winters. Three
weeks, he said with a smile. “Welcome to Winters,” I told him. I should have asked for his phone
number. Anyone new to town, working in the heat
with a smile on his face, is someone you’ll need to
call someday.
Have a good week.

Dear Debra,
I just read your column

usually in August but other than that you get a big

is a storm raging as I write
this, complete with the ear
splitting thunder and blazing lightning.
I love to swim, (I spent
the first 9 years of my life
living opposite the old
Crowders community pool
in Madison) and try to do
so daily as a form of exercise and relaxation. My
windows of opportunity
are very narrow. Many
times, I hover in my garage
and sprint to the pool at
the slightest hint of sunshine, exercise frenetically, paddle around furiously and get out just in time
for the next downpour. It is
a way of life here. And this

Milk Farm restaurant may reopen in Dixon
By BARRY EBERLING
The old Milk Farm
restaurant property, with
its landmark sign of a cow
jumping over the moon,
will soon become part of
Dixon.
“I think it’s a big deal in
the sense that forever and
ever, people assumed the
Milk Farm in its heyday
was part of the city of
Dixon,” Dixon City Manager Warren Salmons said.
“It was our front door for
many years, but it’s never
been part of the city.”
Recently, Dixon asked
the Solano County Local
Agency Formation Commission to allow the annexation. LAFCO met at
10 a.m. in the County Government Center, 675 Texas
Street. The county LAFCO
on Monday, July 10, approved the 60-acre annexation. The agency should
issue the certificate to
make the Dixon addition
official in about a month.
The Milk Farm started
in 1939 along what was
then Highway 40 and is
now Interstate 80. Travelers could get a meal there
back when the stretch between the Bay Area and
Sacramento was largely
rural. They could drink all
the milk they wanted for
10 cents.
By the 1980s, the restaurant was on its last legs. It
closed in 1986 and the
buildings were demolished in 2000. Now sitting
abandoned, the old Milk
Farm restaurant is known
for its sign depicting a cow
jumping over the moon.
Milk Farm Associates
plans to renovate the
property with such things
as a new restaurant, hotel
and research park.
This area has prime
farm soils. Plans call for
keeping 25 acres as farmland,
creating
what
Salmons called an agricultural buffer.
But the resurrection of
the Milk Farm property
wouldn’t start immediate-

veterinarian.
“She is valuable to vets
because she has a sharp
eye for detecting various
problems the animal has,
such as a limping walk
caused by a foxtail in the
leg,” says her husband,
Joe Caudle.
Caudle also does animal
rescue work. She often receives abandoned animals which she spays and
neuters. She is usually
able to find homes for
these animals through her
many connections with lo-
ly after the annexation.
The site needs such things
as water and sewer service.
Salmons expects the
Milk Farm owners to work
with developers in the
city’s northeast area to
make this happen. Extending
infrastructure
solely to the Milk Farm
would be expensive.
He also expects the Milk
Farm sign to stay.
“It’s a powerful symbol
and a landmark,” Salmons
said.
LAFCO also planned to
consider other annexation requests at the July 10
meeting:
~ 22.5 acres of the Sheldon Oil property to Fairfield. The property is located north of Cordelia
Road and west of Ledgewood Creek. About 16
acres is to be zoned industrial, with the remainder
to remain open space.
~ 5.74 acres called North
Bay properties to Fairfield. The land is located
along I-80, west of Dittmer
and Auto Plaza courts,
near Cordelia. There is no
development
proposed,
but possibilities include
expanding the adjacent
auto auction or marketing
the land to home furnishings or other retailers, a
LAFCO report said.
~ 100 acres known as the
Mariani Packing Partnership to Vacaville. The land
is on the west side of
Crocker Drive and north
of Vaca Valley Parkway.
Vacaville could allow industry and business park
uses on the land.
LAFCO must approve
all annexations in Solano
County. The board consists of Chairman John
Saunderson, Suisun City
Mayor Jim Spering, Benicia Mayor Steve Messina
and county Supervisors
Duane Kromm and Barbara Kondylis.
County Supervisor and
LAFCO Commissioner Duane Kromm cast the only
no vote for the Milk Farm
annexation.
He expressed concern
that an agricultural buffer
that is part of the proposed project doesn’t extend to the lower western
end, leaving open the possibility Dixon could someday grow onto prime farmland there.
“Ninety percent of this I
agree with,” Kromm said.
“But I am concerned
about the western edge.”
LAFCO Commissioner
and Dixon Mayor Mary
Ann Courville tried to reassure him. The Dixon
general plan calls for no
other development in that
area, she said.
“But your general plan
can be amended three
times a year by three votes
on the city council,”
Kromm said.
LAFCO approved several other annexations on
Monday. But the board imposed conditions reflecting its growing concern
that annexing land into
cities takes away property
tax money from rural fire
districts that are facing financial difficulties.
At the urging of Commissioner and Suisun City
Mayor Jim Spering, all annexations approved Monday are subject to any policy LAFCO works out within a year on the fire district money problem. Or,
as an alternative, the
property owner and affected rural fire district
can reach an agreement
on their own.
A possible policy might
be having property owners annexing into cities
pay the fire districts for 10
years of lost property taxes, commission officials
said.
All of this lent some uncertainty to the annexations approved at the
meeting. For example, the
agency approved Vacaville annexing the 100-acre
Mariani property near
Crocker Drive and Vaca
Valley Parkway. About 57
acres has the Mariani
Packing Co. food processing operation, while the
and green like the tropics
and the change of seasons
(which happens overnight,
no gradual changes here)
is breathtaking in October. Then we can expect
snow by Halloween. As a
transplanted Californian,
this was a big shock to my
senses and in fact, I have
never gotten quite use to
all this. There is still that
little glimmer of hope that
the weather will magically
become “normal.” Why am
I here? Simply, I am married to the greatest guy on
earth and when he moved
here 34 years ago, I tagged
along. Better here with
him than there without
him.
Just wanted you to know
that I appreciate so much
the fact that you captured
life here so well. I have
tried for years to explain
the Midwest to those that
have never experienced it
but they thought I exaggerated. Thanks for setting
them straight.

rest is vacant and could be
developed.
The Vacaville Fire Protection District provides
fire service to the property and receives $10,000 annually in property taxes.
Once the annexation if official, the city fire department will get both the responsibility and the money.
With county law prohibiting most development in rural areas, rural
districts such as Vacaville
get few chances to replace
lost property tax money,
Vacaville Fire Protection
District Chief Howard
Wood said.
“Ten thousand dollars?
Yes, that’s a lot of money
for the fire district,” Wood
told commissioners.
Bob Miller of Mariani
expressed confusion over
the commission’s condition making the annexation subject to a yet-unknown commission policy
on rural fire districts. This
seems open-ended, he
said.
“It’s a surprise to you,
there’s no doubt about
that,” Kromm said.
If Mariani were to pay
the Vacaville Fire Protection District for 10 years of
lost property taxes, the
amount
would
total
$100,000.
Also Monday, the commission approved annexing

The fair, which suffered plummeting attendance last year while trying to reverse years of financial bleeding, will
feature headliner acts
Gladys Knight and Raven
this year, as well as a demolition derby and two
rodeos. It also includes a
$2 admission price — just
one-fourth of the normal
price — before 2 p.m. all
days.
But many of the problems remain. It’s still a
rural fair located in an
increasingly urban county. It faces competition
for entertainment dollars and sits in the shadow of Six Flags Marine
World. And the lure of
horse racing, which for
years was one of the chief
draws, is almost nonexistent with the increase in
satellite wagering.
And the troubles of last
year — when attendance
dropped 25 percent to a
modern-day low of fewer
than 70,000 people for the
10-day event — still hover
over it.
“Last year was a little
bit of a disappointment,”
fair general manager Joe
Burkett admitted. “It
wasn’t as unexpected as
people thought, but we
were spending so much
money on name entertainment that the cost
was more than we were
taking in for the fair.”
So in 2005, the fair
dropped the headliner
entertainment acts —
such groups as Tower of
Power, Smash Mouth and
the Commodores performed in recent years
with no extra cost at the
gate — and focused on
other aspects.
“It was nice to have
eight to 10 name entertainment groups for free,
but we had to break that,”
Burkett said. “We knew
there was going to be
some pushback and disappointment and there
was more than expected.
We decided to bring it
back, but charge extra for
it.”
So fans who want to
watch Raven (on July 20,
tickets are $18-$28) or
Knight (on July 21, tickets
$35-$45) will have to pay
extra, although it includes the fair’s normal
$8 admission fee. There
will also be extra fees to
see other concerts — $20
to $30 for a Jim Gaffigan
comedy show on July 22
and $10 to see Los Caminates and Los Humildes
on July 23.
There will be admission-included tickets of
$15 each for a demolition
derby on Friday night
and the Fiesta Del Charro on Sunday evening,
and $25 for PBR bull-riding on Saturday ó all-new
events at a new sports
arena.
While those are the
most noticeable changes
— and the ones that most
affect your pocketbook —
Burkett points to the
overall quality of the fair.
He said a major attraction of the fair is be the
entertainment at the Bay
and Delta stages, which
host performers such as
the Hipwaders, Mumbo
Gumbo and The California Cowboys all day long.
There’s no extra charge
for those or for entertainment such as a high dive
show, a blacksmith show
and other regular features.
“The theme isn’t just to
have
some
ticketed
events, but a lot of quality
entertainment all day,
every day,” Burkett said.
The fair also features
an unlimited-ride wristband for $20, which is
available for $14 in advance at the Web site.
“People
appreciate
that they’re not token
promos — they’re every
day,” Burkett said.
The Solano County Fair
isn’t isolated in its difficulties. All across the industry, fairs are struggling to find an identity
in a changing culture.
“For county fairs to be
successful, they have to
have a tie in the community,” Burkett said. “Our
community is Solano
County and it’s not easy to
determine.”
He said the way to measure success isn’t easy,
either.
“A lot of people measure success on whether
attendance went up and
others, maybe a little
more sophisticated, on
whether revenue went
up. But both can be misleading,” he said. “We
measure
success
on
whether we can offer entertainment and exhibits
that people want to come
back and see again — and
do it in an affordable way.
It’s not an easy thing to
measure.”
Burkett admitted this is
a key year for the fair.
“I don’t want to set it up
too much that way, but it’s
important if for no other
reason than we are offering a lot,” he said.
Burkett said the biggest
response has been not for
Knight,
the
Grammyaward-winning R&B legend, but for Raven, who
has her own show on the
Disney Channel. Both
singers will perform at
the 4,000-seat concert
arena.
“I think this is the template for the future,” Burkett said. “... If we get
enough people to respond to it.”

Winters players help team win tournament
By JEROME CARELOCK
Special to the Express
The North Bay Lightning
went 4-0-1 to win the USSSA World Series qualifier
in North Lake Tahoe on
June 17-18. In the first
game, the Lightning faced
Brentwood Blast (Red).
Pitching and defense dominated the game. Lightning
starting pitcher Jacob Caballero pitched five innings with seven strikeouts
scattering three hits and
two walks.
Zack Higgins of Winters
closed out the game striking out five of six batters he
faced to complete the
shutout. On offense, the
Lightning was paced by
Jonathan Dunn and Antoine Pickett who each had
two hits apiece, while
Myles Carelock from Winters added a double and
run scored. The final score
was Lightning 3, Blast 0.
In their second game, the
Lightning
faced
the
Danville Gold. The final
score was Danville 4, Lightning 4. Down 4-2 in the final
inning the Lightning came
to bat needing to score two
runs to tie or three to win.
Robert Martinez got the
lightning off to a good start
with a single followed by
hits by Dalen Jones and Jason Dunn. Jones went 2 for
3 on the day with two runs
scored. Dunn drove in the
game tying run. Lightning
finished Pool Play as the
number two seed.
On Sunday, June 18, the
Lightning opened up the
single elimination playoff
against the Dot Bombers.
The final score was Lightning 6, Dot Bombers 2. The
Lightning was paced on offense by Brian Clay, Nick
McDonald and Antoine
Pickett. Clay was 2 for 3 with
a run scored, while Pickett
was 2 for 3 with a triple and
two RBI. McDonald was 1
for 2 with two stolen bases.
Zack Higgins and Pickett
combined to keep the
Bombers to one earned run
and only three hits.
In the semi-finals, the
Lightning were up against
the Danville Gold for the
second time. Again it was a
close game. The Lightning
came out on top 5-4. The
Lightning offense was
paced by Carelock and Higgins. Carelock was 2 for 4
with a run scored and Higgins was 2 for 2 with a walk,
scored a run and had two
RBI. Dunn was excellent
on the mound going six and
two-thirds innings giving
up two earned runs on only
two hits. Pickett closed out
the game for his second
save of the tournament.
In the championship
game, North Bay Lightning
faced number one seed
Clayton Vaney Pioneers.
Carelock came from behind the plate after four
games to start the game on
the mound. After giving up
only one hit, two big errors
allowed Clayton Valley to
pull ahead 4-0. Going into
the fourth inning down 4-0,
Carelock got things started
with a walk, stole a base
and a RBI single from Pickett got the Lightning’s scoring started.
Zack Higgins then drove
in Pickett on an infield hit.
Going into the sixth inning
down 2, the Lightning had
the top of the lineup ready
for a comeback. Singles by
Dunn, Carelock, and a
throwing error on the
Pioneers’ third basemen
setup Higgins game tying
single. With one out Jones
squared to lay down a perfect bunt scoring Higgins
from third for the go ahead
run. Caballero went one,
two, three in the top of the
7th to slam the door closed
and get the victory for the
Lightning.
The team is rounded out
by Nick Villazon Jr. and
Brandon Henry, both out
with injuries. The manager
is Jerome Carelock, and
the head coach is Lee Caballero. The team is made
up of players from Winters,
Vacaville, Fairfield, Suisun and Cordelia.

tuvieron que ser cubiertas por un auténtico ejército
de observadores. La Fiscalía Especial es otro paso.
Denunciar irregularidades y anomalías es obligado e
imprescindible para el avance democrático. Allí no
hay dicusión. Pero se plantea algo distinto.
Pero todo tiene un limite, las protestas de López
Obrador, parecen ser parte de un plan para desinformar a la opinión publica, recuerden que en política
todo es valido, y más valido si lo que se pelea es la silla presidencial, lugar desde donde se han amasado
grandes fortunas en México.
¿De verdad creen que hubo irregularidades intencionales en 50 mil de las 130 mil casillas? ¿De verdad
creen que el PREP, el conteo y el cómputo distrital
fueron manipulados? Piensan entonces que hubo un
silencioso golpe de Estado en el IFE que involucró a
cientos de servidores públicos, incluidos científicos
de gran renombre, golpe de Estado del cual nadie se
dio cuenta por cierto, ni ellos. Una operación central
de ese tipo involucraría a decenas de miles de ciudadanos. Allí el asunto no cuadra. ¿Ignorancia o perversidad? AMLO encuestas a destiempo. Convertido
en Presidente virtual durante dos años se vio mucho
tiempo en la silla presidencial.
Los medios colaboraron a ello mes a mes: 10,15, 20
puntos de ventaja. Pero ¿quiénes eran los competidores reales, en qué situación? Faltaba mucho por
definir. ¡Voy ganando! Soy indestructible, acabaré
con las pensiones de ex presidentes, aumentaré el
gasto social, construiré refinerías, trenes, carreteras,
abajo los ricos, vivan los pobres, ¡viviré en Palacio!,
frases de AMLO cuando ya se sentía presidente antes
de tiempo, pero oh. Se le cayo el castillo de pureza,
quiero decir el palacio nacional.
Convencido por las remotas cifras de las encuestas
inició su marcha a la Presidencia desde el corazón del
país que ya gobernaba. Pero había un pequeño prob-
Educación en Estados Unidos
Quiero hablarles de la
educación en los Estados
Unidos, para nosotros que
como inmigrantes hemos
venido de otro país, el sistema de educación se nos
hace tan complejo y frustrante el no poder entenderlo completamente, y
por ello muchas veces
nosotros como padres no
sabemos exactamente en
que o como ayudar a nuestros niños, bueno para
ser sinceros muchos de
nosotros no nos interesamos a veces en ni
siquiera ir a conocer a los
maestros
de
nuestros
niños, menos saber como
funciona el sistema educativo, quisiera compartir la estructura básica del
sistema educativo de este
país.
La educación es muy importante
para
mucha
gente en los Estados
Unidos, y desde mediados
de los 1800 hemos tenido
educación pública gratis
para las personas que viven en nuestro país. Esta
educación pública es consolidada y administrada a
través de los impuestos al
nivel local y del estado,
pero es bajo el poder federal.
Tomar clases y avanzar
su educación puede ser
una parte importante de
aumentar
sus
habilidades, conocimiento y
mejorar sus posibilidades
en el área de trabajo. Y en
los Estados Unidos nuestro sistema de educación
pública ofrece muchas
oportunidades excelentes
para usted y sus niños, y
nuestra comunidad priva-
da y universidades estatales ofrecen una ancha
variedad de opciones para
educación avanzada.
En los Estados Unidos
se requiere legalmente
que todos los niños asistan
al colegio desde los 6 hasta los 16 años (hasta los 18
en algunos estados) o
serán considerados holgazanes. Todas las comunidades tienen alguna forma de educación pública
que es suministrada por
impuestos locales. No hay
precio de enseñanza o costo para asistir, y los libros
son proveídos, pero los
padres tienen que proveer
los cuadernos, lápices,
crayolas, y otros artículos
que el niño usara durante
el año escolar. Niños en
nuestro país usualmente
empiezan a ir a la escuela
a los 5 años en Kindergarten. Muchas escuelas
tienen
programas
de
medio día para kindergarten o permiten que
niños a esta edad vayan a
su casa más temprano que
los otros estudiantes.
La escuela primaria es
de primer grado a quinto o
sexto grado en la mayoría
de las comunidades. De
ahí los niños van a la escuela secundaria (junior
high) para grados 6 a 8 o 8 a
9 (esto varia de comunidad
a comunidad). Preparatoria es de grados 9 a 12 o de
10 a 12 depende de la escuela.
El sistema de enseñanza
de la escuela pública es
determinada
por
un
comité del estado que es
suministrado a través de
fondos del estado o por
oficiales locales de la escuela. La mayoría de distritos escolares tienen
cursos que incluyen lectura, escritura, gramática
de
Ingles,
literatura,
matemáticas,
ciencias,
historia y estudios sociales,
geografía,
economía, estudios cívicos (o de gobierno), computadoras y teclado, y educación física. A los Estudiantes también se les permite tomar clases electivas como arte, drama, informática, economía del
hogar, u otras clases en las
que estén interesados.
Si un niño no habla Ingles como su lengua nativa, y la barrera del lenguaje es tan grande que hace
difícil aprender en la escuela, ellos serán puestos
en un programa de ESL
(Ingles como Segundo
Lenguaje) con profesores
que son especialistas en
ayudar al niño ha acomodarse a la nueva cultura y lenguaje. Esto
puede hacer más fácil la
transición para muchos
niños.
Muchos escuelas
preparatorias tienen programas especiales de vocación que le permitirán a
los estudiantes mayores el
empezar a estudiar y practicar para una carrera de
su opción si no planean
asistir a una Universidad
después de graduarse de
la escuela preparatoria.
Los
estudiantes
que
planean ir a la universidad
muchas
veces
tomaran cursos preparativos para la universidad
los
cuales
incluyen
matemática avanzada, ingles avanzado, ciencias, o
en algunos colegios clases
avanzadas de empleo. La
mayoría de las escuelas
secundarias y preparatorias
también
ofrecen
clases de enriquecimiento como música, arte, drama, o un programa atlético
para los estudiantes.
Normalmente hay escuelas privadas en la mayoría
de
las
comunidades.
Aproximadamente 10 por
ciento de los estudiantes
en los Estados Unidos
asisten a una escuela privada. Estas no son suministradas por dinero de impuestos, en vez de eso los
padres pagan un precio
anual de educación para
sus niños. Las escuelas
privadas
pueden
ser
acreditadas o no acreditadas por diferentes organizaciones certificadas,
así que es importante que
cheque si los profesores
son acreditados. Algunas
escuelas privadas son
academias “preparatorias
para universidades” y casi
todos los estudiantes que
se gradúan van a la universidad. Aproximadamente
80% de todas las escuelas
privadas también tienen
alguna clase de afiliación
con una denominación religiosa e incluyen alguna
forma de instrucción religiosa como parte de su
preparación. Otras son
colegios militares e incluyen alguna forma de
entrenamiento militar en
su preparación.
Un número pequeño de
padres escogen enseñarles a sus hijos en su casa.
Para poder hacer esto usted debe de usar un programa acreditado, y ser su-
lema: las verdaderas campañas comenzaron en enero
y, por supuesto, las tendencias se movieron. No iba
sólo. Esa realidad ya no gustó: “cuchareadas”, “manipuladas”. Amañadas las contrarias, válidas las favorables.
Llegó el día de la verdad: casi un millón de representantes de partidos, más de 900 mil ciudadanos involucrados en las casillas, todos testigos de primera mano;
800 consejeros distritales; 24 mil observadores nacionales y, por si fuera poco, casi 42 millones de
votantes que saben por quién votaron: 65 de cada 100
no lo hicieron por él. En el camino AMLO arroja lodo
a los consejeros electorales del IFE, al padrón electoral, al PREP, al conteo rápido, al cómputo distrital.
¡Todo es una porquería! Los 236 mil votos a favor de
Calderón no valen. Nada de que un voto es un voto.
Los más de 27 millones que votaron en su contra tampoco, él es el elegido, tiene que serlo. Quien no lo sepa
vive en el error. Síganme los valientes ¡Vamos contra
todo y todos! ¡Fraude, fraude, fraude!
Pero ahora AMLO declara fraude generalizado, llama “traidor” a Fox y “pelele” a Calderón y, en pocas
palabras, se regresa a la política cerril que cuestiona
al marco institucional. Como la realidad no me gusta
abro lanzas contra todos. De los costos para el PRD
mejor ni hablamos: pueden perder habiendo ganado.
Ahora resulta que no vale el sufragio de decenas de
millones de mexicanos; tampoco las actas firmadas
por decenas de miles de ciudadanos; ni los números a
los que arribaron miles, ni los ojos vigilantes de otros
tantos. “Respeten nuestros resultados” fue la
consigna de AMLO el dos de julio. Sólo Él conoce la
verdad. Sólo Él sabe lo que es justicia. Sólo Él accede
a los deseos de los mexicanos. Sólo Él se preocupa por
los pobres. Sólo Él puede ser el próximo Presidente.
Sólo Él es demócrata. Sólo Él es honesto y, finalmente,
sólo Él sabe sumar.
pervisado por un profesor
acreditado. Algunos distritos escolares en ciudades grandes tienen programas de instrucción
dada en casa que sobre miran al padre local que da
instrucción en su casa.
Muchos distritos escolares tienen programas de
educación para la comunidad que son muy baratos
o hasta gratis para residentes locales. Estos pro-
gramas son usualmente
patrocinados a través del
distrito de colegio local, y
pueden incluir clases
como arte, artesanía, la Internet, deportes, o clases
de ESL (Ingles como Segundo Lenguaje) para
adultos. También deben

Rabies, with few exceptions, is fatal
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have
my dogs vaccinated for rabies,
but I wonder how necessary
this is. I have never heard of a
case of rabies. From what animals can people get it? Is it
treatable and curable? What
actuallyisit?—O.R.
ANSWER:IntheUnitedStates
and Canada, very few rabies
cases are seen in a year, and almost none from domestic animals like cats and dogs because of our policies requiring
pet vaccinations. Around the
world, however, there are
about55,000rabiescasesannually, and just about 100 percent
die from the infection if they
are not treated before the signs
ofrabiesdevelop.
Raccoons, skunks, foxes,
wolves and coyotes are the
principal carriers of the rabies
virus. The No. 1 rabies spreaderisbats.
The virus in saliva, transferred from a bite, causes no
symptoms for one to three
months.Atthatpoint,thebitten
person comes down with a
headache, fever, muscle aches,
fatigue and loss of appetite —
all common to many other illnesses. One to four days later,
the person becomes confused
and hallucinates. Muscles go
into violent spasms. Saliva and
tear production increase
markedly. The thought of taking a drink sets off a painful series of contractions of the swallowing muscles. That’s the famous hydrophobia — fear of
water — rabies sign. Quickly,
the person then slips into a
coma, and death is inevitable.
Recently, a young woman in
Wisconsindidsurviverabies.
If a person is immunized
soon after being bitten by a rabid animal or bat, the illness
doesnotdevelop.Thatiswhy,if
bitten, it is so important to observe domestic animals whose
rabies vaccination is doubtful
andtosendthebrainofthewild
animaltothestatelabwhenitis
possible to do so. Today, only
five shots, given over one
month, can abort rabies. The
shotsarenotpainful.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: The
backs of my hands are covered
with brown spots. My neighbor
tells me that they are liver spots
and they are signs of liver disease. I have never touched a
drop of alcohol in my life, and I
feel fine. I can’t believe I have
liverdisease.DoI?—R.V.
ANSWER: Those spots are
common and have nothing to
do with the liver. They have to
do with sunlight and aging.
Don’t give them another
thought. I don’t know how the
“liver spot” name came about,
but it’s unfortunate, for it worriespeopleunnecessarily.
Retin-A, an acne medicine,
has been prescribed to lighten
them. If they don’t bother you,
thenleavethemalone.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: You

alcoholic drinks a day, a drink
being 12 ounces of beer, 5
ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of
80-proof liquor. How much is
safeforamantakingLipitor?—
L.S.
ANSWER: The same amount.
Alcohol doesn’t interfere with
Lipitor, and Lipitor doesn’t interferewithalcohol.
Lipitor is a statin drug, the popular cholesterol-control drug
family.

Fears about Panama Canal were unfounded
Hello from the Republic
of Panama! (Sandwiched
between Colombia and
Costa Rica).
The Winters Express is
becoming somewhat of a
phenomenon among small
town newspapers with a
sprinkling of foreign correspondents, me being the
latest addition. If anyone
wasn’t aware that Mexico,
like the U.S., has a southern border, now is the time
to take notice. We’re all in
the same boat. With the exception of island nations,
we all have borders to contend with.
As much as I’d like to
write about Mexico, I don’t
have the perspective of
living there, something
that might be more appropriate for Winters, whose
population is close to half
Hispanic, most of these
with ties to Mexico in one
way or another. Panama
and Central America,
southern neighbors of
Mexico, will have to do for
now until a situated-inMexico
correspondent
steps up to the plate. In
any case, dispatches from
Panama can’t hurt. The
more one knows about
something, the less radical one can be about it. Being in someone else’s
shoes is, in most cases, a
valuable learning experience.
As long as Panama is on
the agenda, I can’t help
but mention the long since
forgotten 1989 invasion
and its relevance to today’s delicate situation in
Iraq and Afghanistan. The
father of the current president created a Saddamlike ogre (Mañuel Noriega)
and carried out a manufactured solution to capture and imprison him in
the name of democracy
and human rights. Perhaps this was the plan for
Iraq — a swift military
stroke that would later be
forgotten and relegated to
a footnote in history. Be-
cause something works
once doesn’t mean it will
always work later.
U.S. military intervention in Panama has occurred more than a dozen
times since the country
was born in 1903 as a
breakaway province of
Colombia. U.S. gunboat
diplomacy
blocked
Columbian armed forces
from putting down a Panamanian rebellion in exchange for ¨”perpetual”
rights to build an interoceanic canal and occupy a
slice of land five miles
wide on both sides of it.
In 1977, Jimmy Carter’s
administration
thought
better of the idea and
signed a new treaty that
would turn the canal and
the Canal Zone to Panamanian sovereignty in the
year 2000. The succeeding
American
governments
had misgivings about this
treaty and sought ways to
neutralize it. The 1989 invasion, which killed score
of civilians in “collateral
damage” was one such solution to Carter’s earlier
“diplomatic failure”.
To get off the subject for
a brief minute — a recent
letter writer to the Express pointed out that the
sitting president of Iran
recently wrote a letter to
George W. Bush trying to
reach out for mutual understanding, only to have
the letter rejected by Bush
and his lackeys in the State
Department. History repeats itself... we may end
up with another invasion
of a country that has never
attacked us and our soldiers’ lives may be put
once again in harm’s way.
Can’t we learn at least
from Panama?
In 2000, when the smoke
had blown away, Panama
got what the 1977 treaty
had stipulated: Control
and ownership of the
Panama Canal. The sky did
not fall in. No other hostile
country moved in and took
it away for their own purposes. Fears about having
to deal with a dangerous
“rogue” nation controlling a vital and strategic location proved to be unwarranted and unfounded.
Even George W. Bush himself dropped in briefly last
year to have a friendly
look-see.
I am happy to report that
Panama is doing just fine
running its own affairs and
minding its own business.
The economy has rebounded and arguably is in better shape than that of its
neighbor, Costa Rica. Immigrants are coming in,
some legal, a lot not. (This
is a separate issue not just
confined to the U.S.A.).
It’s hot here, being closer
to the equator, but not as
hot as Winters probably is
right now. In any case, I
wish the same for Iraq if
the dust ever settles, and
for Cuba and any other
country that has ever been
a target of the U.S. and its
paranoid foreign policies.
