N Supervisors
vote to move
Winters to Davisʼ
Second District
By ELLIOT LANDES
Staff writer
The Sept. 27 Yolo
County
Supervisors
meeting closed the
book on the monthslong county redistricting process, with Winters now the kid down
the block in the mostly-Davis District 2.
This after years of representing county agricultural interests by
means of being in the
giant and sparsely
populated District 5,
where most of the
farming gets done.
The meeting saw the
last half of a continuing public hearing
from the previous
meeting. The RAC (Redistricting
Advisory
Board) created three
maps after meeting
Winters
High
spirits
with the public on six
occasions in different
cities in the county
over the past three
months. Maps One and
Two put the bulk of
Winters in the west
lobe of a dog-bone
shaped Second District that had west
Davis in the east lobe.
The
favored
map,
known as #2, or the
Reynolds Map, has the
Third District taking
in the southern half of
Woodland. In map #1,
the Fifth takes the upper half of Woodland
and the Third takes
the south part.
The process every 10
years is needed to balance district populations, if they get out of
balance. The current
imbalance was caused
by growth in West
Sacramento and little
growth anywhere else.
By choosing a map

Water billing
will begin
in three months
By ELLIOT LANDES
Staff writer
The city has been using the new water meter system for six
months. There are now
water meters on all
connections in town.
The new meters have
transmitters that send
readings to city staff as
they drive around
town in a car with a
laptop and an antenna, once a month.
With the new system,
the water department
can now evaluate water usage. The city
measures water in ccf,
which stands for 100
cubic feet, equal to 748
gallons. The average
water use for Winters
in September was 29
ccf. This is much high-

“I said, ‘What?!’ I felt

“Apparently you can’t

Moore says she finds
the shyness about
breasts quite ironic,
given that bare-breasted and nude women
have been a common
focus for fine art going
back for centuries,
even acceptable during considerably more
conservative
times
like the Renaissance
and Victorian eras.
And, notes Moore,
these nude paintings
and sculptures have
not irreparably damaged anyone.

Planners briefed on zoning, housing ratios OFFICIAL
By DEBRA DeANGELO
Express editor
There were no action items at the Sept.
27 planning commission meeting, but that
doesn’t mean an easy,
breezy time was had
by all. Community DeDirector
velopment
Nellie Dyer took the
opportunity to provide background on
some irregular zoning
in Winters, to report
on the required Housing Element update,
and attempt to explain
the formula used to
determine the percentage of new housing that must be dedicated to low income
residents.
The zoning portion
focused on the process
underway to make the
land use designations
and zoning on the east
side of town congruent, specifically, the
140.1 acres north and
south of Grant Avenue
abutting
Interstate
505, commonly known
as the “Gateway.”
Dyer recounted the
frustrations of both
city staff and potential
developers over the
zoning
of
several
parcels in the area
that are not only inconsistent with land
uses specified in the
city’s General Plan but
also apparently are
not valid zoning codes
with the state of California.
“State law requires
that zoning and the
General Plan be consistent,” Dyer said,
that
the
adding
“Planned Commercial
(PC)” and “Planned
Commercial/Business
Park (PCBP)” zones
were
“intermingled
and unclearly applied.” Dyer said that
in addition to ongoing
confusion over these
inconsistencies,
the
Economic
Development Advisory Committee had recommended that the issue
be addressed, citing it
as prohibitive to development.
“It needed to be
cleaned
up,”
said
Dyer, explaining that
the PC and PCBP zoning required every developer, regardless of
the size of the property, to go through an expensive and detailed
Master Plan process.
“When
someone
wants to develop these
properties, even small
pieces, they would
have to do a Master
Plan.”
She noted that the
obstacle of doing a
Master
Plan
was
enough to make many
interested developers
walk away.
Of the total area, the
zoning cleanup effects
80.9 acres, and will include converting 11.2
acres of Planned Industrial (PI) zones to
Highway Serving Commercial (HSC) zones,
and converting land
currently zoned PC
north and south of
Grant
Avenue
to
Neighborhood Commercial (NC); rezoning
acres
zoned
10.9
Mixed Use (MU) to
HSC; and converting
33.9 acres zoned MU
and PCBP or Business
Park to Business Industrial Park (BIP).
Dyer
said
these
changes will line the
zoning up with the
General Plan land use

drainage canal to the
western line of the McClish property is part
of the zoning fix as
well, and she said it
won’t be like the “concrete rivers” in Los
Angeles, but is expected to be usable as a
bike trail, for example.
Dyer clarified that
when the zoning and
General Plan are consistent, it will eliminate the Gateway Master Plan, which would
then become obsolete.
She added that the
Gateway Master Plan
“isn’t consistent with
what we’re trying to do
here.”
Before bringing the
zoning changes to a
public hearing before
both the planning
commission and city
council, city staff must
first research and report on environmental
and traffic impacts.
She further reported that a developer
has discussed the possibility of a 6.6 acre hotel project on the
property north of the
Chevron station, but
there is no actual application on file yet,
and added that a proposal for an unspecified development may
be in the works, which
will also be discussed
at a public hearing because “it is something
that will be noticeable, a larger project
for Winters, a three
story hotel, potentially.”
Following her recommission
port,
chairman Wade Cowan expressed support
for bringing zoning
codes into alignment
with the General Plan,
and when asked by an-
other commissioner
why they weren’t consistent in the first
Cowan
replace,
sponded, that it was
“intentionally done by
our not so bright forefathers to keep development from happening along the highway.” Cowan, who was
a member of the Economic Development

noted, “this needs to
be done.”
“PC and PCBP are
deterrents. They need
to go, and need to go
right away,” said Cowan. “Nothing’s happening out there until
those are gone. Until
those magic little letters get erased off that
map (development’s)
not going to happen,
and we need to make it
happen sooner rather
than later.”
Commissioner Bill
Biasi asked what sort
of businesses are allowed in the HSC
zone, and Dyer said
they include restaurants, drive-throughs,
retail sales, service
stations, minor auto
repair,
temporary
uses and hotels.
Housing Element
Dyer next gave a report on the city’s Housing Element, which
stipulates the ratio of
low-income housing in
town, as well as how
much
is
required
when new housing developments are built.
The state requires an
update of the Housing
Element every eight
years, and the current
one extends through
2013. Dyer explained
that the Housing Ele-

pervisors considered
political issues foremost, and pretty much
ignored comments at
the advisory meetings
and notably, ignored
the relative turnout.
Meetings at Davis and
West Sacramento saw
a handful of attendees, while the Winters Community Center meeting on June 1
drew over 50 people
from Winters and also
from the unincorporated agricultural areas. At that meeting,
all those who spoke
expressed variations
on one theme: keep
Winters in District 5
because of the district
and Winters’ ag character. Following the
a
county
meeting,
staffer brought his
mapping software to
Winters City Hall, and
citizens came in and
explored various map
arrangements to find a
solution that would
satisfy all.
“I’m
really
concerned about where
democracy has gone
today in Yolo County,”
said Frank Sieferman,
who was on the RAC
and whose name is on
the Winters favorite
map #3. “It doesn’t
make any difference
how many people appear, if their voice isn’t heard. Like the decision on solar panels,
if you’re going to protect ag land, you need
to protect ag land all
the way.”
“It’s a unanimous
vote of the city council,” said Fifth District
Supervisor
Duane
Chamberlain of Winters. “They don’t want
to be part of Davis. The
City of Winters put
forth several maps. I
don’t know if you guys
looked at those. I just
think this is a bad
deal. It’s certainly not
listening to the people.”
“I will guarantee
you Winters and the
unincorporated areas
between Winters and
Davis will continue to
have their integrity
and character,” said
Second District Supervisor Don Saylor.
“I look forward to
working with the people there and representing them.”
The vote in favor of
Map #2 was 4 to 1, with
Chamberlain
voting
no.

Lovin’ our
hardware
stores
I go to hardware
stores a lot. I’ve
searched for hard-tofind nuts and bolts in
towns from New York
to Alaska, been lost
and lost and lost in big
box stores, spending
more time than the
project was worth, hustled through cash register lines by people
who didn’t know anything.
Folks, we are so
lucky here. We have
two
stellar
stores
by
smart,
staffed
knowledgeable
and
friendly people. It’s
something that maybe
could go unappreciated, something we take
for granted, but we
shouldn’t.
I consider our hardware stores to be part

our town. Thanks for
helping me with all my
oddball projects over
the years.

Lock up
alcohol
The police chief recently updated the city
council on Winters
Crime Statistics. The
majority of criminal
offenses are Driving
Under the Influence
(DUIs).
In California the average is about one DUI
per 100 licensed drivers (National Transportation
Safety
Board). In Winters, it is
about one DUI per 50
drivers — one of the
highest rates in California. With the Winters Planning Commission and City Council
supporting and pushing alcohol based businesses, we are going to
need a bigger police
station — oh yes, that’s
what we just got.

HAT’S IN A NAME? I was a little
disappointed in our city council
last week. After reading the story
about a new street being named after the
Matsumoto family, my first thought was,
who? Then I wondered why they voted to
draw a name out of a bag instead of picking
a family name that would be recognized by
more people. I decided that they just took
the easy way out. If a committee had come
up with lots of new street names, why not
put them all in a bag and draw them out as
needed? Who would complain about that? I,
for one.
The more I thought about it, the more I
decided I didn’t care how they drew the
names. When they named the streets after
our founding fathers, how many people
alive today know the history of the Edwards
family or the Abbey/Abbay familes? Few
people remember the Mermods or Bakers,
but some of us still remember the Carrions.
A couple of weeks ago the council was
considering naming the new street after a
deceased Viet Nam veteran. They threw a
bunch of names in a hat and drew someone
that had lived here for a few years but really grew up in Fairfield. When people complained they redrew. I don’t think I want to
live in a neighborhood named after friends
who died young in Viet Nam. It would be
just too depressing.
Fill the bag full of names from Winters’
past and draw away. It may be years before
we build any more subdivisions and maybe
by then, no one will know who any of the
families were anyway. I’m sure someone
will let us know a little history about each
family drawn. Theresa Sackett dropped off
a note about the Matsumoto family; hopefully it made it into this week’s Express.

ARLY RAIN. I haven’t even started
thinking about this year’s rainfall contest, but I’d better get the form ready
for next week. The creek is nice and dry so
the water shouldn’t be a problem for the
work crews. If you haven’t taken the time to
walk over the train trestle, now’s the time.
You can see the new channel starting to
take shape, and the flood planes being reformed. Of course, Mother Nature will have
the final say on what the creek looks like in
a couple of years.
Sherri and I were walking over the bridge
this weekend and there were several people gazing out over the new landscape. One
couple from Sacramento asked me a question, and I’m sure they were wondering
what they got themselves into. I tried to be
brief about what was happening to the
creek, but I don’t think I was very successful. We encouraged them to take a walk
along the creek, but after Sherri mentioned
mountain lions, I don’t think they took us up
on the offer. I hoped they enjoyed the show
at the Palms.
Have a good week.
E
Feral cats aren’t the problem – people who don’t spay/neuter their pets are the problem
Cats, cats and more
cats. Clearly we’ve got
a problem with feral
cats here in Winters.
They’re everywhere.
There’s a right was and
a wrong way to address
this problem. Let me
tell you about the
wrong way.
It was the day of our
Earthquake
Street
Festival, close to 5
p.m., just before everything begins. Main
Street and East Main
Street were abuzz with
activity: street vendors
getting
their
booths ready, musicians doing sound
checks on stage, hay
bales being drug into
place for seating. In
short, organized pandemonium. Just to
make things spicy, it
was at least a trillion
degrees that August
afternoon.
I am one of the volunteers
who
help
make this festival happen, so I was buzzing
around too, when one
of the vendors came up
to me to report that a
cat was stuck in a
storm drain near her
booth and meowing
pitifully. Everyone’s
upset and worried.
What else can you do
but drop everything
and rescue the cat.
I called Yolo County
dispatch, which said
an Animal Control officer would call me
back. Not having much
faith in that actually
happening at 4:45 p.m.
on a Friday, I chose a
more direct solution
and spotted another
festival
volunteer,
Paul Myer, and told
him we had a new and
improved problem: cat
stuck in drain.
Paul dropped what
he was doing and set
off with the worried
vendor, while I returned to my lastminute festival loose
ends. In a few minutes,
Animal Control called
back, I explained the
situation, and all the
upset children, and
many more children
on the way, but he was
thoroughly
unimpressed.
“Cats get stuck in
drains all the time,” he
said. The best he could
do was check it out in
the morning. I headed
off to deliver the bad
news, but meanwhile,
Paul had fashioned a
fishing line of sorts
with his hay hooks and
was dropping it into
the storm drain. Turns
out, the cat was in a
trap and he thought he
could snag it. Paul’s on
it. Situation handled. I
went off to stamp out
other fires.
The next day, I ran
into Paul at the café,
and he told me that the
cat was actually a kitten, and had been
there for awhile —
long enough for rats,
roaches or ants to strip
the flesh from its tail
and eat holes in its
ears. It was emaciated,
starving and dehydrated, and he doubted it
would survive, but
someone took pity on it
and took it home anyway.
I tracked down the
person who took the
kitten home, because
the incident really
bothered me. I know
we’ve got more feral
cats than we know
what to do with, but to
leave an animal to die
is beyond cruel. I was
hoping the kitten survived,
because
it
would make a heartwarming story, and
hopefully teach a lesson to those who think
it’s okay to abuse cats.
Well, the kitten didn’t survive, the Good
Samaritan told me.
She said it was so
filthy and ant-infested
that ants were still
coming out of its ears
after she’d cleaned it
up. Even with an IV
line for the dehydration and feeding it by
hand, it was too far
gone.
Although
it
gulped the food, the
poor little thing didn’t
last another 24 hours.
She added, with a
catch in her voice, that
although it had a miserable existence, she
was happy that at least
the last thing it knew
was loving kindness.
Sadly, the story has a
troubling post-script.
The kitten was so hungry that it accidentally
bit the finger of the
girl who was feeding it.
Our Good Samaritan
recalled that fact after
the kitten was already
buried, and became
worried about rabies.
She dug the cat up and
had it tested, but unfortunately, the results were “inconclusive.” That’s not good
enough with rabies.
The girl had to undergo rabies treatments
as a precaution.
Wonder if the person
who left that trap in
the drain would step
forward and reimburse the girl for her
medical expenses?
Yeah, right.
As for the trap, Animal Control did follow
up and said the trap
left in that storm drain
was not theirs. When
they
leave
traps,
they’re checked every
day. So, we apparently
have a freelance trapper in the community
who’s more interested
in setting the traps
than checking them. I
wonder how many other storm drains and alleys in town have halfdead animals in them
too.
Yes, there are too
many feral cats here.
But the cats aren’t the
problem. People are
the problem. And I
don’t mean the amateur trapper. If you
own a cat that is allowed outdoors and isn’t
spayed
or
neutered, I mean you.
YOU are the problem.
You contributed to the
pitiful death of that
kitten in the storm
drain.
You
contributed to a girl hav-
ing to undergo rabies
treatments.
Oh, but I don’t want
to spay my cat! Kittens
are so cute! I want my
children to see the
beauty of nature!
Really. Are they cute
when they’re starving
to death, covered in
ants? How about showing your children the
natural beauty of rats
stripping a kitten’s tail
down to the skeleton
while it cries out
piteously? How about
teaching your children that this is what
happens when people
don’t take responsibility for their pets.
As for our local cattrapper, after having
him undergo rabies
treatment just for fun,
I’d love to leave him
trapped in a storm
drain for a couple
weeks too, so he’ll understand what it feels
like to be helpless,
hungry, thirsty, cold,
lonely and frightened,
and your life’s force
seeping away as ants
and rats gnaw your
flesh.
Yes, jerkwad, cats
can feel those things.
Even feral ones. And,
just in case he survives
this, I’d next have him
neutered, because he
shouldn’t be breeding
either.

Matsumotos lived near her parents in rural Winters
By THERESA SACKETT
Special to the Express
My parents’ home
was on a hill across
the road from where
the Diversion Dam is
now. A road now
named Canal Lane
was my parents’ property boundary on the
east side.
The road continued
south and then west
and became the property line that separated the property owned
by Mr. and Mrs. Matsumoto and daughters
Heromi and Hidejo.
That road dead ends
at a home that was
once
occupied
by
Newt and Ida Wallace.
The families living
in this area were mostly Japanese and Spanish. The students attended a two-room
rural school named
Olive. The area was
known as Olive district. The land the
school was on was
loaned to the district
by the Wolfskill family. It reverted back to a
new family that owned
it when Olive school
unified.
The Matsumoto family grew the same
crops as my parents,
early
apricot
and
Beauty plums. The
fruit was packed at
home and hauled by
flatbed trucks owned
by my father and
loaded into iced train
box cars and shipped
by rail to Chicago and
New York and sold at
auction blind income.
The ripe apricots that
were packed at home
were hauled to Oakland and San Francisco markets.
The farmers in the
area contracted my father to haul their ripe
fruit. The volume became so huge, my
Alejandro
brother
brought in a trucking
company from the Bay
Area to do the hauling
while he managed.
The Japanese families looked to my
brother Alejandro for
day-to-day
advice.
They appreciated his
friendship and knowledge. He became their
mentor.
When the Japanese
were interned, the
government appointed Alejandro to manage and harvest the
Japanese ranches —
all except the Matsumoto
property,
which was managed
by Mrs. Ruth Pleasants Hoskins, who was
a teacher at Olive
school.

We don’t have a

human figure. It’s been

Moore explains that
this is what inspired
her to do her “Women
as Instruments” series, of which “Siren”
was a part.
“The idea of ‘woman’
is often made generic,
stripped of personality and human characteristics. I’m interested in how women are
reflected in both our
current world and
mythology. Mythology
mutates women, exaggerating them into
sirens and harpies, or
elevating them to untouchable icons that
are even less human.
“In my work, I strive
to reclaim the warped
notions of ‘womanhood,’ using bare figures that revel in imperfection and capitalize on their labels of
harpy, siren, icon or instrument. I want the
figures in this series to
be recognized as both
idea and individual by
showing evidence of
human
vulnerabilities, such as a skinned
knee.”
Moore says she was
particularly fond of
“Siren,” and wanted to
keep her for herself,
but decided to part
with her because of
the honor of being included in a prestigious, juried art auction and also because
it was for a good cause.
“It was win-win,”
said Moore. But she
adds she wished she’d

rule because “I would
have put a bustier or
pasties on her to get
her ready for prime
time.”
Moore explains that
she likes working with
the female form because she works with
what she knows and
she
knows
about
women’s bodies. To
portray them in her
artwork seems perfectly natural to her.
“I don’t even bat an
eyelash,” she says, noting that the nude form
was a huge part of her
art education.
She further notes
that an artist’s conception of the nude form is
often not the same as
that in American culture.
“We have over-sexualized the human form
so much. We can show
all sorts of scantilyclad, gyrating women,
but not a bare-breasted woman brushing
her hair.”
Yet, she adds, barebreasted
Madonnas
nursing the Christ
child are fixtures in
churches, and this
raises a key point.
“It’s not the content,
it’s the intent, that has
really been skewed.”
This again was part
of her motivation in
her “Women as Instruments” series — trying
to portray the female
form as something
more than just a sexual object.
“The series portrays
potential and tension.
In “Harp,” strings are
stretched from the figure’s
single
outstretched arm to her
torso. The taut strings
represent the poten-
SCULPTURE
but a hood made of the
wolf’s skin.
“She didn’t have to
wait on the woodsman
to help her out. She’s
not afraid of the wolf.”
Moore creates powerful sculptures such
as these in her new
studio located at 7
East Main Street, just
behind
The
Clayground, of which she
was a former partner
with Rebecca Bresnick Holmes, who took
over the business in
July. Moore says she
and Bresnick Holmes
felt the need to branch
off into their own endeavors, but they “didn’t want to be far
apart.”
The two still work on
projects together, and
just finished a year’s
worth of work on the
ceramic artwork that
now adorns the restroom at Rotary Park.
A formal dedication of
this public artwork is
being planned, tentatively at the Oct. 28
Harvest Festival.

Deadline set for Solano County agricultural conservation cost-share programs
Farmers and ranchers in Solano County
who would like to receive cost share for
conservation projects
breaking ground in
2012 should apply now
with the Dixon Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
office.
Applications
received on or before
November 18, 2011,
will be considered for
the upcoming round of
funding.
The National Food,
Conservation and Energy Act, commonly
known as the Farm
Bill, provides funding
to farmers and ranchers who want to implement
conservation
on
their
projects
farms and ranches.
Participation is voluntary and projects are
chosen based on the
benefit to local natural resources and on
available funds.
“There are so many
opportunities
available to conservationminded producers,”
says District Conservationist Wendy Rash.
“We have helped with
technical and financial assistance on projects ranging from irrigation systems, to
cover crops, to fencing
and watering facilities on rangelands, to
tailwater ponds and
wildlife habitat.”
WATER
Part of the bill is not
typically
variable,
$19.64 for a ¾” meter.
The actual water usage is added to that, at
$1.06 per ccf. The current flat rate is $33 for
a single-family residence.
The new system can
detect water leaks. It
looks for a situation
where at least 1/10 of a
cubic foot of water is
running for 24 continuous hours. According
to this month’s report,
421 residential connections out of 1,796
show leaks, or 24 percent. This shows the
opportunity
homeowners have to reduce
use if they make the effort to stop leaks.
The homes in the
highest 20 percent of
consumption had 40
percent of the leaks.
What about sewer
bills? The city doesn’t
put a meter on what
goes down the drain,
but does charge based
on water consump-
tion, because it correlates well. But what
about irrigation? The
water you spray on
your lawn doesn’t end
up in the sewer system. For this reason,
the city will tie sewer
charges to water usage
winter, when most
people do very little
watering.
There are businesses that use a separate
meter for landscaping,
and they are not
charged for sewer use
based on the landscape meter.
In Winters, homeowners will save water the most by:
~ Fixing leaks
~ Limiting lawn watering by using short
cycles and watering
during cooler hours of
the day
~ Converting to drip
watering,
wherever
possible
~
Switching to
plants that need less
watering
ber – enough water to
fill the city swimming
pool two feet deep.
One hundred and sixty
five homes had consumption of over 50
ccf. On the low end,
300 homes used 13 ccf
or less, and 40 homes
used between 2 and 6
ccf.
Next year, all the
homes using 13 ccf or
less will see a drop in
their water bills from
what they pay this
year with our flat rate.
If one excludes 20
percent of users that
use the most water, the
remaining 80 percent
averaged 21 ccf, a reasonable number considering our hot summer. The top 20 percent of residents averaged 57 ccf. The highest user used 304 ccf,
and the water part of
that
owner’s
bill
would be over $300.
Currently, there are
special funds available, including:
~ The California Air
Quality
Initiative,
which helps farmers
scuttle old, polluting
engines and replace
them with engines featuring the latest pollution-control technology
~ The National Organic Initiative, which
assists certified organic producers and those
transitioning to organic
production with conservation issues
~ The Solano CooperConservation
ative
Partnership Initiative,
which helps ranchers
eradicate
artichoke
thistle, a noxious and
invasive weed
~ The Agricultural
Water
Enhancement
Program, which assists
animal feeding operations with manure and
nutrient management
These are in addi-
tion to the general Environmental Quality
Incentive
Program
funds, which are available for a wide variety
of conservation practices on crop and grazing land.

PLANNERS
ment is one of the
mandatory elements
of the city’s General
Plan.
Part of the current
update includes a
study of four zoning
ordinances related to
low income housing,
including those relatto
secondary
ing
dwelling units (granny
flats), emergency shelters,
manufactured
prefabricated
and
homes, and “single
room occupancy facilities,” which are small
units that may be rented, typically as temporary housing.
Dyer has prepared
draft ordinances on
these four zones, and
they are being reviewed by the city attorney for review.
Next, she and Housing
Programs
Manager
Dan Maguire will discuss the ordinances
with the city’s Affordable Housing Steering
committee, and the
next step will be to
present them to the
planning commission
and city council
Housing ratios
In a heroic effort to
make the formula for
affordable housing ratios understandable to
the planning commission, Dyer presented a
matrix that outlines
how the Sacramento
Area Council of Governments, which includes the Winters
area, determines the
affordable
housing
load of each of the 22
cities in its six-county
region, using criteria
that include the balance of housing to
jobs, proximity to public transportation and
an equitable distribution of income levels.
“As long as I’ve been
in this business, it’s
not always easy to understand,” Dyer admitted, and distributed a matrix of six
“methodologies,” from
which
cities
can
choose to plan for
low
income
their
housing.
SACOG is now doing
its update, which includes its region’s
long range transportation plan, the distribution of affordable
housing, airport land
uses, Regional Housing Needs Allocation
(RHNA) and Regional
Housing Needs Plan
(RHNP), greenhouse
gas emissions and
Metropolitan Transportation Plan. The
RHNA is the part of
the plan that pertains
to the six methodologies
She explained that
cities and counties receive their allocation
for housing requirements from SACOG,
and must then update
their Housing Element to show how they
will accomplish that.
In the current update,
SACOG has determined that 105,000
new housing units are
necessary for its region, of which 40 percent must be “affordable.” Dyer said Winters’ portion is to
build 320 new units
over an eight-year period.
She and Maguire
will determine which
methodology is best
for Winters, and noted, “We’re not doing
that well with the
jobs/housing balance
or transit proximity
compared to other
cities in the region.”
She added that cities
that provide more affordable units also get
more transit dollars.
On the criteria of income equity, Dyer said
Winters is doing “a little better than some.”
When
she
and
Maguire have locked
in the methodology,
there will be a 60-day
opportunity for public
review, closing on Nov.
14.
Commissioner Bruce
Guelden asked if Winters has “far superseded its requirements for affordable
housing.” Dyer responded that it has.
Guelden noted that
about 1,000 new units
have been approved,
but none have yet
been built other than
the recently completed Orchard Village,
which is a low-income
development. However, several commissioners
appeared
shocked when Dyer
explained that Orchard Village will not
apply to the 320 houses yet to be built.
“When we approved
the houses, didn’t we
follow the guidelines
for affordable housing
at that time? Aren’t
320 houses taken care
of in the approvals we
made for low income
and very low income
housing?” asked commissioner Pierre Neu.
Dyer responded that
the additional low income
housing
required can’t be mitigated with the Orchard Village development.
“We can’t bank what
we’ve done in excess
for affordable housing?” asked Guelden.
“No. Only for the
current planning period,” said Dyer.
Neu asked if the currently approved houses were built out,
would the city’s affordable housing requirement be met
with Orchard Village.
Maguire came to the
podium and replied,
“In a general sense,
the answer to your
question is yes. We
have to be accountable to the state, reporting on the Housing Element.”
His response did not
appear to satisfy some
of the commissioners.
“We’ve grossly overdone affordable housing,” said Cowan. “The
ratio is so upside
down, and we can’t apply it to a future number — the state just
keeps telling us to
bend over. It’s insane.
“We need to quit
building
affordable
housing units when we
aren’t building anything else. This is
ridiculous.”
“While we’re not getting credit for what
we’ve accomplished to
the RHNA number, we
get credit while reporting to our Housing
said
Element,”
Maguire. “It isn’t that
it goes completely unrecognized or has no
benefits to the community.” He noted, for
example, that following the completion of
Orchard Village, there
were spikes in school
enrollment after declining enrollment in
schools for the last 10
years. He then attempted to reframe
the issue.
“Is the problem that
affordable housing is
being built, or that the
market rate housing
isn’t being built?”
queried Maguire.
Also present at this
meeting were commissioners Luis Reyes
and Joe Tramontana.
Commissioner Phillip
Meisch was absent.
The planning commission meets next on
Tuesday, Oct. 25, at
6:30 p.m. in the council
chambers at City Hall.

Entertainment
Blues powerhouse Magness comes to The Palms
By KATE LADDISH
Entertainment correspondent
Janiva Magness — indisputably
one of the premier blues and R&B
singers in the world today — will
bring her powerful voice and charismatic stage presence to The Palms,
13 Main St., on Friday, Oct. 7, at 8:30
p.m.
Magness’ voice is by turns rawly
honest, heart-achingly nuanced, sultry, richly mature, caressingly gentle, and indignantly outraged. While
performing, Magness throws her
entire being into the show, bringing
each song into full living, breathing
life; Magness doesn’t merely sing
the songs, she lives each song as she
gives them voice. The result is an
electrifying and dynamic show of
the highest caliber.
Magness is a blues performer with
life experience to draw from that
brings authority and authenticity to
her music. A childhood spent in the
foster care system of Detroit
brought more than its share of heartbreak. Magness credits music and a
few advocates within the system for
her beating the sad statistical odds
that faced her as a foster child at
risk.
Magness’ experiences forged a
strength that she channels into her
music — and into her advocacy work
for foster care. Not one to use the
past to ask for pity for herself, Magness instead has used her success
with music to bring attention to the
foster care system; she takes her
position as Ambassador for Foster
Care Alumni seriously. On Magness’
website, among the usual tabs is one
that stands out: Foster Care.

YoloArts celebrates California Arts Day
The richness and diversity of California’s culture will be put to
music in honor and celebration of
California Arts Day, hosted by
YoloArts in Woodland. “Keys and
Breeze,” an area piano and flute
duo, will perform a noon and 7 p.m.
concert on Friday, Oct. 7.
The free concerts, “EUREKA!
Golden Works by California Composers,” will feature unique and
contemporary works for solo piano,
solo flute, and flute/piano by California-born and California-based
composers
including
Nancy
Bloomer Deussen, Alexis Alrich,
John Adams, Peter Scott Lewis, and
Adrienne Albert. The performers,
Jana Olvera and Alice Lenaghan,
will briefly introduce each work as a
way of helping the audience understand more about the music to be
performed. This will be the first concert to feature the grand piano
recently donated to YoloArts by the
88 Keys Foundation and housed at
Gallery 625, in Yolo County’s Warren
Meier Administration Building.
Flutist Lenaghan and pianist
Olvera have collaborated as “Keys
and Breeze” on a series of concerts
in recent years, delighting audiences in the area with their fresh
approach to live classical music performances. The duo enjoys performing both a standard and “off-thebeaten-path” repertoire, and the
artists seek to make classical concerts
more
audience-friendly
through the use of humor, engaging
verbal commentary, and well-balanced and intriguing repertoire
choices. The concerts are designed
for adults and children alike.
Both concerts are free and are expected to last approximately 45 minutes. Seating is on a first-come, firstserved basis in the atrium of the
county administration building at
625 Court St. in Woodland. The concerts and California Arts Day celebration is made possible by a grant
from the California Arts Council.
YoloArts also will host the opening
reception for the “Art Farm” exhibit
at Gallery 625. Wine and appetizers
will be served before the concert.

Warriors tame the Cubs on Homecoming
Mariani, Lucero
total 488 yards of
offense and five
touchdowns
By ERIC LUCERO
Express sports
Quarterback
Nick
Mariani and running
back Jacob Lucero
totaled 488 yards of
offense and scored five
touchdowns between
the two as they helped
lead the Winters Warriors varsity football
team to a 42-26 victory
over visiting Anderson.
Last Friday, Sept. 30,
the Warriors hosted
the Cubs at their
game
Homecoming
and improved their
overall record to 4-1.
The Warriors’ defense had highlights of
their own with five
fumble recoveries, but
the offense stole the
show. Mariani had a
huge game, completing 11 of 18 passes for
the Warrior offense as
he totaled 101 yards
receiving on three
receptions including a
46-yard touchdown on
the opening drive.
Chris Mayes caught
four passes for 91
yards. Trevor Wright
caught one for 25
yards. Lucero caught
two for 10 yards and
Austin Calvert caught
one for 10 yards.
Wright carried the
ball two times for 19
yards, Brentley Weismann had three carries
for 17 yards and Kyle
Nichols carried the
ball two times for 10
yards. Omar Herrera
continued to give his
support to the Warriors
offense by making six
of six PAT kicks.
Highlighting
the
defense were Moore,
Wright,
Weismann,
Daniel Lopez and
Zane West who each
had a fumble recovery.
Herrera had six touchbacks on kickoffs.
Moore
totaled
14
237 yards and a touchdown throw and ran
for 94 yards on 16 carries for two more
touchdowns. Lucero
ran for 157 yards on 18
carries and had two
touchdown runs.
“Right now I think
our offense is really
starting to click,” said
coach Daniel Ward.
“We are executing as
well as we ever have in
both the passing and
running game.”
The Warriors started
strong just like last
week and went into the
half with a 35-7 lead,
but once again they
struggled to pick up
where they left off
when they returned in
the second half. Anderson scored 19 quick
points in the third
quarter before the
Warriors would put a
stop to their offense.
Winters scored one
more in the fourth to
finish the game.

The Winters Warriors varsity volleyball team lost a close game to
visiting Pierce High School on
Tuesday, Sept. 27, at Young Gymnasium. The Lady Warriors played
tough, but came out on the bottom
end of a 3-0 match.
In game one, the score went back
and forth, but in the end the Bears
pulled out a 25-21 victory over the
Warriors. The Warriors fell 25-17 in
game two and 25-15 in game three.
On Wednesday, Sept. 28, the Warriors hosted Capital Christian and
lost another match, 3-0. No other
stats were available.
The Warriors started league play
on Tuesday, Oct. 4, at home against
Wheatland and will travel to Gridley on Thursday, Oct. 6, to take on

when the Lady Warriors host the
Sutter Huskies.

A well-deserved victory for the Winters JV
football team came on
Homecoming last Friday, Sept. 30, as the
Warriors dominated
the Anderson Cubs
from start to finish.
Winters scored early
and often and played
with a stingy defense
to defeat the Cubs,
43-6.
“We worked hard all

Lower water levels make
fishing spots accessible
The time is getting close when
the water levels drop to perfect
on Putah Creek. We all know how
tough things can be in the summer with the 600-plus cfs water
levels. The summer levels only
leave a few spots on the creek
open to finding fish. Plus, the
fish are really spread out — once
the water drops, they tend to
start to stack up in the holes and
runs.
The levels are dropping, making all those areas that are not
accessible easier to get into and
get some fish. These spots are my
personal favorite to fish. One of
the many secrets of the creek is
the overgrown trail systems that
take you to the holes that you
can’t see from the road. Sometimes it feels like you are in a
jungle when hiking these trails
early in the fall.
The weather is starting to cool

“The kids are really

it tastes good!”
This is good news because Cathy Olsen, Winters school district’s
food service director,
has had as a major goal:
more kids eating more
fruit, “and local, fresh
fruit tastes good, so
they want to eat it,” she
says.
Right now, peaches

apples are coming from

“They love those,”

Heirloom tomatoes,

figure on the food bars
this season as well as
fruits.
“We’ll be serving
them as long as they are

As summer fruits give
way to fall and winter,
Olsen is already planning for the change of

“I’ll be buying local
oranges, as I did last
year, mandarins and

ways to incorporate

Winters is a historic
fruit production region, and students are
getting
local

It’s time to fess up as
to how I nearly killed
one of my chickens
within 20 minutes of
acquiring her.
After my friend Lauren brought over my
first four chickens, they
were just hanging out
in a dog crate in my
back yard awaiting a
wing-clipping later that
day. Two of the chickens were unsettled and
pretty noisy. I thought
maybe petting them
would calm them. I
opened the crate and
had my hand inside
while Oscar the dog was
watching with great
interest from inside the
house, through the sliding glass door.
What happened next
was a blur of activity.
One of those two nervous white chickens
burst out of the cage
and started running
amuck and squawking.
Oscar had pried open
the sliding door and
ran after the chicken.
He cornered her behind a rose bush and
all I could see was a
flurry of white feathers and black fur. I
grabbed Oscar, who
looked pretty satisfied
with his mouth full of
white tail feathers. As
I marched him back
into the house I saw
the hen run into the
corner of the yard.
I went back out to
find the chicken but
she was nowhere in
sight. It was also too
quiet. I started to get
nervous and a bit panicky: I had to act fast
before she got too far,
but didn’t know where
to start. I looked over
the fences into neighboring yards to see if
she had flown over. I
looked in the front
yard. Rechecked our
yard. I couldn’t find
her and I could not
believe that this was
happening!
I was just about to
take a walk around the
block to ask my backyard
neighbors
if
they’d happened to see
a chicken go by, when I
realized where she
might be and it wasn’t
good.
Several years ago we
replaced the backyard
fence. Part of it was
installed in front of
the old fence, creating
about
a
four-inch
space between the two
fences. The opening to
this space was in the
corner of the yard,
where the chicken had
been heading earlier.
Nervously,
I
approached the space
between the fences. It
was like a horror
movie: I had to see if
the chicken was in
there, but I was afraid
of what I would find. I
slowly peeked into the
space and sure enough
— a white blob.
I pried off the fence
slat in front of where I
thought the chicken
was. I was pretty close
— I could see her back
end. She wasn’t moving and I was too
scared to touch her
and likely confirm she
was dead (I figured at a
minimum, she’d had a
heart attack).
I didn’t know what to
do. I couldn’t call Lauren — she just left. This
was truly awful and
would have been funny
if it just wasn’t so
awful. After agonizing
for a while and trying
desperately to reverse
time with my mental
powers,
I
finally
thought to call another
friend who had chickens and experience
(plus
she
was
a
vet tech). Amazingly,
Karen was home and
came right over after I
managed to explain
what had happened.
As if it was no big
deal, Karen reached
into the space between
the fences and pulled
the chicken out. The
hen was alive! I was
unbelievably relieved.
The poor chicken was
minus a few tail feathers, but was otherwise
okay (except perhaps
psychologically).
Interestingly, neither
of those two white
chickens ever settled
down. I don’t know if it
was because of the
trauma of the first day
or they were just highstrung hens. The other
two hens came to eat
out of my hand and be
petted and held. Eventually, we gave the two
white ones to someone
who had a lot of property and wanted more
eggs.
interestingly,
Also
Oscar and the remaining chickens get along
fine. He doesn’t chase
them and they don’t
harass him, although
they do try to steal his
bones.
I hope the white
chickens have been
happy and able to
make as much noise
as they like — and
that they have not
been chased by dogs
or nearly killed by
chicken

Festival de la Comunidad
Cultura popular
Quiero seguir haciendo hincapié en la
importancia de la educación para nuestros
hijos, como padres debemos motivar a nuestros hijos para que busquen educarse lo
más que puedan, que busquen la
preparación para tener una mejor vida, la
realidad de nosotros los hispanos es que
nuestros jóvenes siguen desertando de la
escuela antes de graduarse, aun hoy en la
economía en que vivimos necesitamos más
que nunca motivar a nuestros hijos para
que sigan en la escuela.
Sabemos que no es fácil convencer a los
jóvenes cuando toman una decisión, simplemente porque a esa edad, ellos piensan
que pueden hacer todo y lo que ellos deciden es lo mejor para ellos, además tenemos
muchos factores externos que influyen en
las decisiones que toman nuestros jóvenes.
Los amigos, la misma escuela, el ambiente
familiar, la economía en la familia, pero hay
otro factor externo que considero es el de
más peso en los jóvenes, es un factor que
moldea inclusive la manera de actuar de
nuestros jóvenes, y ese factor es la cultura
popular.
El mundo de ahora es un mundo en donde
los jóvenes bien atentos a los que la celebridades hacen o dejan de hacer, por lo
general los más expuestos y vulnerables a
la influencia de las grandes celebridades
son los jóvenes, ya que estos están en el
mismo centro de la cultura popular, por si
fuera poco existen industrias completas
que se dedican a mercadear productos,
música, películas y modas a los grupos más
jóvenes. Por eso, en ocasiones los padres se
sienten indefensos al tratar de competir
por la atención de sus hijos y persuadirlos
de que algunos de los valores que promueve la cultura popular no son aceptables ni modelos a seguir.
Usted no está sólo si a veces se siente
frustrado al tratar de encaminar a sus hijos.
Pero la realidad es que la cultura popular
vino para quedarse y no hay manera de que
los jóvenes la evadan. Así que no hay otra
opción que conocerla, entenderla y ver
cómo puede convivir en paz con sus influencias.
Primero, defina sus valores propios y
que
son
esenciales
para
aquellos
reforzarles a sus hijos. Piense mucho en ese
concepto antes de conversar con su hijo.
Sea claro y honesto consigo mismo. Todos
sentimos la influencia de la cultura popular
y hasta cierto punto usted debe comprenderla y formar una opinión sobre qué le gusta y qué no tolera. Por ejemplo, piense en
cómo la cultura popular ha afectado su forma de pensar, sus decisiones de compra o
hasta su imagen personal.
Sus hijos adolescentes también están
expuestos a los mensajes más sutiles de la
cultura y estos pueden influenciarlos a
adoptar
comportamientos
riesgosos.
Muchas veces estos mensajes tan poderosos
son implícitos. Los jóvenes pueden cantar
las letras de canciones famosas y populares
sin saber los mensajes codificados en ellas
y cómo estos pueden influenciar su manera
de pensar. Otro ejemplo es cómo las revistas
de moda y de las celebridades pueden promover el deseo de ser muy delgado o adoptar modas que no son sanas. A veces, estos
valores negativos pueden ser destructivos y
llevar a sus hijos a fumar cigarrillos, purgarse o a usar drogas.
Usted es el mejor y más importante ejemplo para sus hijos. Una vez decida cuáles
son los valores de mayor importancia para
usted, siente la pauta para que sus hijos los
adopten. Hábleles sobre los valores que se
ven a diario y aliéntelos a que definan sus
propios valores, a que sean independientes
y a que tengan criterio propio.

Nombre de familia japonesa en calle
Con el proyecto de una gasolinera y un restaurant de comida rápida en Winters, se busco
un nombre para el camino 90,
County Road 90, inicialmente
se había considerado tener dos
listas de nombres, una de nombres históricos de Winters, y la
otra de veteranos de Winters
fallecidos en la guerra. En septiembre 6 se escogió el nombre
de Ozbun Lane, pero este nombre después de una investigación se encontró que el nombre de James Ozbun, era
inelegible para ser considerado, ya que él fue un residente
de Fairfield y no se puede
nombrar una calle de Winters
en su honor. Se volvió a escoger
otro nombre, Mayor Pro Tem
Cecilia Aguiar-Curry saco el
papel de la bolsa y el nombre
en el papel decía “Matsumoto.” No existe mucha información acerca de esta familia
japonesa, solamente se sabe
que formaba parte de la comunidad japonesa que vivió en
Winters entre las dos guerras
mundiales.
La ley les prohibía a la familias japonesas comprar tierras,
lo que hacían las familias
japonesas eran rentarlas, o
comprarlas bajo los nombres

Destination Imagination time is near
By JANET ANDERSEN
It’s Destination Imagination time!
DI is a great opportunity for kids to
work together, be creative and have
fun. DI is an extracurricular
school-supported program. Teams
are forming now.
Each team of five to seven kids,
with their team manager, will meet
once a week starting in November.
They will work together until the
regional tournament on March 3.
Teams train in creative problemsolving and teamwork skills. Each
team competes in two areas at the
tournament. They will compete in
an instant challenge, which
emphasizes quick, on-your-feet,
thinking where they will have five
to 10 minutes to solve an unknown
challenge with surprise supplies.
Some are task-based, like building
a structure as tall as you can using
a paper plate, paper cup, straw,
paper clip and three mailing labels. Others are performancebased, like creating a brief
humorous skit about how the llama
jumped over the rainbow and incorporating the imaginary word
“griggle.”
They will also compete in one of
five central challenges, which are
the long-term projects they will
work on the entire season. All
solutions must be completely
solved by the team and no interference by parents is allowed. This
includes all ideas and construction. For more information on this
program and this year’s challenges,
visit www.idodi.org .
More than 60 teams of students in
kindergarten through high school
will compete in the tournament.
Our region extends from Winters to
West Lake Tahoe and everywhere
in between. Local communities
that participate include Woodland,
Davis and Dixon.
There will be an information session for all interested students and
their parents on Thursday, Oct. 13,
at 7 p.m. at the Tree House Children’s Center, 418 Haven St., across
the street from Waggoner School).
If this program sounds like fun
and you would like to participate,
you can get an application form at
the meeting, in the SRIS office or
the WMS office. The forms are
available now and the deadline is
Oct. 28. Interested students can
submit an application alone and
meet new friends, or submit it with
a group of friends.
For more information, contact
Janet Andersen, andersenmom@
gmail.com or 795-5030.
