The Bobbie Greenwood Swimming Pool
opened in June 2007
and is used by many
members of the community including the Winters Swim Team, Masters, lap swimmers and
those who seek fun and
relief from the heat during the hot summer
months. This year, the
pool will not be open for
recreational swimming
unless additional revenues of $18,481 dollars
are brought in.
At the March 2 city
council meeting, City
Manager John Donlevy
explained to the council and citizens in attendance why recreational
swimming would be cut
as opposed to Masters
and the Winters Swim
Team.

“The
swimming is the hole in
the program and most
costly,” said Donlevy.
“Once we start hiring
people, that’s when
costs are encountered.”
The city pays for 14

four rotating lifeguards

swimming
hours, 2-5 p.m. Safety is
the primary reason, and
the young adults who
work there need to stay
alert and fresh to keep
watch over approximately 43 swimmers.
The Swim Team and
Masters, on the other
hand, do not incur costs
to the city, as they pay
for their coaches and
staff. The Swim Team
also gives $8,000 to the
city each year from fireworks sales proceeds.
At the Feb. 16 meeting,
the council voted to cut
any
swimming
programs that did not pay
for themselves.
Council
members
talked about possible
solutions for recreational swimming, but
nothing was resolved.
Donlevy noted that if
only 40 swimmers use
the pool during recreational swimming, an
increase from $1 per
day to $5 per day would
be needed to run the

Just as the Olympic athletes trained their
bodies to go for the gold, these kids have been
training their brains. Sixty high school teams
will be competing for the state title in the 31st
Annual California Academic Decathlon this
year, and Winters High School team represents one of the highest ranked in Yolo County.
In an unusual collaboration, Winters High
School and Davis High School will join forces
this year to create a cooperative team for the
Decathlon, to be held on March 12-15 at the
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. Other
area schools that will be competing from the
North Bay Regional Competition include:
Solano County’s Vanden High School and
Sonoma County’s Casa Grande High School,
Willits High School/Mendocino County, Novato High School/Marin County, and St. Helena

Another year, another Warrior. The new Mr. Warrior was
named at the long running Winters High School annual competition, held on March 4 at St.
Anthony Parish Hall. This year,
Winters High School senior
Tyler Berg, representing FFA,
took the title of Mr. Warrior for
2010, as he was adorned with
the traditional red and white
feather headdress for the
evening. Berg defeated first
runner up Riki Lucero, who
also took the Mr. Congeniality
title, and second runner up
Julio Pacheco.
This
year’s
theme
was
“tabloids,” featuring contestants Berg, Lucero, Pacheco,
John Rowell, Javier Sanchez,
Andres Nunez, Darian ClarkStinson, Dylan Cliche, and female contestant Zoe Adams.
The event was hosted by Polita
Gonzalez and Tyler Pierce. The
judges for this year’s competition were Curtis Stocking, Rebecca Gillespie, Josie Stein,
Jeff Ten Pas, and Marissa
Wright.
The contestants kicked off
the evening by introducing
themselves in the spirit portion
of the show. Many, like
Pacheco, danced on stage, but
Mr. Warrior (Berg) walked on
with his pet pig Lil’ Smokey in
full FFA fashion.

School district walloped by water rate increases
By JULIA McCANDLESS
Staff writer
The Winters Joint
Unified School District
is facing enormous increases in water costs,
as was made clear at the
March 4 school board
meeting. An update on
water and sewer rates
showed that at the end
of June, the district will
spend an estimated 150
percent increase on water and sewer costs from
2007/08. That rate is ex-

pected to grow to 230
percent in the next year.
This increase is due in
large part to the recent
switch from fixed rate
water billing to metered billing. Currently,
the Winters School District has five sites running on water meters including John Clayton,
Winters Middle School,
Shirley Rominger, the
Winters High School ag
site, and the district office.

are the only sites that
have separate landscape meters, which do
not require a sewer
charge based on water

be metered separately
for domestic and landscape use at the current
rates and fields were
maintained at the current level, it is estimated that rates would increase to 526 percent
more per year.

Winters Putah Creek
committee meets Monday
The Winters Putah
Creek
Committee
will meet on Monday,
March 15, at 7 p.m. in
the council chambers
at City Hall. The
agenda includes updates on the north
bank
improvement
project, the parkway
project and the committee status. Anyone
may attend.
For more information, call Carol Scianna, 795-4910.
At present, a limited
number of classes are
held at a rented site in
Vacaville. The real campus will be opening in a
few weeks in a building
40 percent bigger, with
specially
classrooms
set up for teaching a
number of subjects, including nursing, physical education, science
and firefighting. One
dean offered that anatomy classes would continue at the main campus, however, because
“the cadavers have to
remain in Fairfield.”
Griffin
commented
that morning programs
are difficult for high
school students wanting
college credit to attend.
“It’s been a little difficult for our students because of the limited offerings, and getting
transportation all the
way to the main campus
(in Fairfield) is a problem,” said Griffin. “If
we want to expand into
the concurrent enrollment area, we need to
have programs scheduled at times that are
more accessible to high
school students, and
that may be true for
young adults as well.”
“This is an area where
technology may assist, if
we can find ways to fund
it,” said information
systems officer Jim Ennis, “We can do broadcasts where the students here can participate in classes occur-
ring anywhere in the
district.”
One dean said she’d
done such programs
and it worked out well.
The technology has progressed to where even
personal eye contact is
possible.
Laguerre suggested
that with sufficient enrollment,
instructors
could travel to Winters
to teach classes, for actual face to face instruction.
Griffin said it would
be a real benefit for the
Vacaville site to offer
lab science classes, and
language
alternate
classes as well.
“At the high school,
we offer Spanish, or if
you prefer, Spanish,”
said Griffin.
Council
member
Harold Anderson asked
about technical training. In response, one
dean talked of the excellent program SCC
has for technicians
working in the field of
wastewater treatment.
Council
member
Woody Fridae spoke of
the value of continuing
adult education and career education.
“We would love to
have you build a satellite campus here, too,”
said Fridae.
The new facility in Vacaville will hold a gala
opening
and
open
house on May 8.
Main Street art park workshop planned
The Winters Center
for the Arts, in partnership with the city of

Main Street to the alley
Main
and
between
Abbey Streets (Newt’s
Expressway). The city
plans to start construction of the art park in
early summer.
The

ITTING IN. There was the sound of thunder in Winters last Sunday afternoon as
ABATE held its annual motorcycle rally in
Winters. ABATE (American Brotherhood
Aimed Towards Education) has been coming to
Winters for several years now and as far as I
know there hasn’t been one problem.
My ex-temporary tenant was in town and I invited the family to join me for lunch at the Community Center. I was running a little late, so I
phoned Laura to make sure she wasn’t waiting
to eat on my account. She laughed and said
there were a whole lot of people at the Community Center that looked just like me. “Young and
thin,” I think she meant.
I didn’t see that many bikes at Railroad and
Main, but it was still early. The ride starts in Vacaville, winds through Cordelia and Napa before ending in Winters for lunch. Within an
hour the place had filled up and people were
lined up for the tri-tip barbecue. Laura said
that while her husband Rance was looking at
the creek, everyone was offering to let the kids
sit on their motorcycles for a picture. Remember, my grandkids are the cutest kids in California. She seemed surprised that they stopped
talking to her as soon as I showed up. Go figure.
We have an unwritten rule that we don’t print
pictures of our own children unless they are doing something newsworthy, like scoring the winning shot or being crowned Mr. Warrior. As we
were eating on the Community Center patio the
band started playing. We were a little too close.
I reached into my vest pocket and pulled out a
couple of earplugs for Brett, who just turned
two. He was just too cute, so I took his picture.
Debra was going through my rally pictures and
liked the one of Brett. It should be on Page B-2,
in case you doubt how cute he really is.
If I were a better social director I would have
had Laura dress Jenna and Brett up in their
Harley outfits, but as it was, they left them at
home. I’ll remember to dress them up this May
when Iron Steed Harley of Vacaville makes another stop at Rotary Park.
If you like good food, good vibrations and
good company, walk downtown during one of
these rallies. If you are like me and have put on
a few pounds over the years, this is one of the
few events where you can feel skinny, just by
walking around some rather large people. I’m
sure there are big people everywhere, but it
does seem to be true that people that ride
Harleys aren’t petite. I’ll add that they are some
of the friendliest people you will ever meet,
and if you compliment their bike you are guaranteed a big smile.
Have a good week

Today we are benefiting
from our second community

built
through the efforts of
the people of Winters.
Unfortunately, due to
the current economic
situation, the City of
Winters and the Winters
School District do not
have the funds required
to maintain and operate
the Bobbie Greenwood
Community Swim Center and the Winters
Community Center at
the current level of service without additional
funds. To keep these facilities open and running at the same level as
in fiscal year 2009-10
someone has to come up
with between $60,000
and $80,000.
A group of Winters citizens has formed a committee (the Community
Center and Pool Fund
Committee, or CCAPFC)
to spearhead and coordinate an effort to raise
sufficient funds to keep
the Community Center
and swimming pool operating for this summer
and into next year. It is
in the best interests of
the community to keep
these facilities open

current level.
Please join us in raising the required funds.

Can you help?
There are two important entities that have established themselves as
integral parts of the Winters community. One is
the Winters Community
Center, which over the
years has provided a
venue for many functions
contributing to the cohesiveness of the city. The
other is the city swimming pool, the Bobbie
Greenwood Community
Swim Center, which reflects the interest of the
community in the wellbeing of its citizens, particularly the younger generation, by providing a safe
swimming facility during
the hot summer months
and much of the rest of
the year.
This year’s financial
situation has made it impossible for the city to
maintain these two facilities at their normal levels
of operation. As noted in
last week’s Express, a
committee of longtime
area citizens has formed
to endeavor to raise funds
to supplement the cost of
maintenance of both of
these facilities and to
keep their daily operations going.
It is important to support this effort, and I urge
people to consider making tax-deductible contributions to the Winters
Community Center and
Pool Fund. Please send
donations to the City of
Winters, 318 First Street,
Winters, CA 95694.

Step One: Admitted I was powerless over Farmville. Step Two…
There comes a point
with every addiction
when it’s out of control.
You must turn and face
the dragon. That time
had come for me. It was
time to face Farmville.
The same friend who
insisted that I get on
Facebook also encouraged me to play Farmville. Sometimes I’m
not so sure Facebook is
a great idea, because I
have people on my
friends list who should
never, ever cross paths
in real life. And it’s a little too close for comfort.
Facebook is all about
“social
networking,”
which is a nifty term for
“huge waste of time.”
You can feel the moments of your life spinning down the drain to
infinity as you sit there
sending iHugs to people
you’d never touch in
real life and finding out
which Crazy Hollywood
Diva you are and joining
groups like Fans of ‘70s
Era Lunchboxes.
While I’m beginning
to question the value of
Facebook, I thought
Farmville was a dumb
idea from the start. But I
didn’t listen to me. No, I
had to go all “because
everyone else is,” didn’t
I.
Farmville actually is
the drain to infinity. It’s
a mindless, pointless
black hole of time, but
with farm animals. And
yet… curiously addictive. You create a little
icon of yourself and
grow imaginary crops,
day after day, and somehow forget that possibly
the only thing more boring than watching crops
grow is watching imaginary crops grow.
You
harvest
your
crops and get “coins” to
purchase
imaginary
fences and livestock,
and fellow Farmville
fans start sending you
imaginary cows and
chickens, that have to
be “milked” and have
eggs “gathered,” but unlike the real deal, you
don’t actually get any
milk or eggs. On the other hand, there isn’t any
real manure to step in
either.
The leisurely pace of
Farmville is truly somnolent. The little miniyou wanders over to
wherever you click to
brush a sheep or harvest apricots, and a
sweet little jingle plays
in an endless loop,
punctuated by gentle
mooing or bleating or
meowing. This gentle,
hypnotic pace and utter
lack of cerebral function is very soothing to
your tired, stressed-out
brain, and after battling
the real world all day,
Farmville feels like a
nice little dose of techno-Xanax. And your
brain likes this sensation a lot. So, it pokes
you to play Farmville
again so it can relax.
And again, and again.
Just like it pokes you to
head down to the local
wine tasting rooms on
Friday nights.
To my credit, I resisted Farmville mightily,
but people I like and respect
and
never
dreamed were technoXanax junkies kept insisting that Farmville is
da bomb. I’d endure entire
conversations
about Farmville strategies, like putting all
your cows in dairy barns
and growing soybeans
instead of papayas because you can harvest
them faster, thereby
earning more imaginary

just a few thousand
more Farmville coins,
and I could buy an imaginary red barn!

It was time. Farmville

my shrieking husbie
brought this to the forefront of my attention,

could I have read in the
span of time I’ve wasted
on Farmville? The number was appalling. Unacceptable. Thoroughly
humiliating. All this
time spent, and what to
show for it? Imaginary
daffodils?
Farmville was siphoning away my life. It was
that simple. The solution was equally simple.
I went into my Facebook
settings, found Farmville and hit “delete.”
Just like that. And it was
all over.
So, I went out to the
yard, picked a few
lemons, brushed the kitties, and immersed myself in an odd old book
about gypsy history that
I bought at a used book
store. And here’s the
good news: I’ve never
missed Farmville, not
for one moment. And my
husbie hardly ever runs

anymore either.
COSTS
program, which costs
about $200 a day. Mayor
Michael Martin said if
the price was raised to
$5, the city might not see
as many people using
the pool.
The question as to
why a cashier is not
available on site to collect money was brought
up during the discussion. According to Donlevy, if a cashier is paid
$9 per hour and brings
back $28 at the end of
the day, the city loses
money by having an employee there. There
were also times when
the money was stolen,
he said, and added that
it would be less expensive to let the people in
free rather than have a
paid cashier.
Council member Cecilia
Aguiar-Curry
spoke of one of the problems with not having a
cashier on site. City
Hall is not open on
weekends and people
coming
to
Winters
would not be able to
purchase a swim pass
for the day and therefore not be able to use
the pool.
Council
member
Woody Fridae suggested getting a campaign
going for people to buy
passes, but said that a
citizen’s suggestion of
putting a letter directly
into a student’s backpack to take home from
school was probably not
the best way to go.
“If you give them a flyer and it goes in that
back pack, it’s like a
black hole,” said Fridae
Donlevy provided an
outline of proposed
charges to help alleviate the deficit. The figures were broken down
as follows:
~ Increase rate for
pool parties from $160
to $225
~ Increase rate for
swim passes from $50 to
$200
~
Increase rate of
swimming lessons from
$45 to $75
~ Charge Masters a
rate of $200
The estimated revenue based on the average number of persons
using the pool from the
different
groups
amounts to $33,500,
which still does not cover the cost of keeping
the pool open.
A handful of Winters
citizens showed up for
the meeting to give input on possible solutions for keeping the
pool open for recreational swimming. Most
everyone,
including
council
members
agreed that an increase
in fees, possibly to $3 for
daily admission, was
not unreasonable. Having a cashier at the gate
collecting money was
also suggested, allowing
access to more paying
customers.
Debra DeAngelo proposed selling juice or
snacks to be consumed
in a designated area as
a means to generate
more money. She also
said there were ways to
make better use of the
pool perhaps by roping
off lanes allowing for
multi use rather than
one group using the
pool at a designated
time.
Sally Brown agreed,
stating, “water aerobics
uses the shallow end
and there is no reason
why we can’t share.”
She also acknowledged
the need for people to
have the ability to drop
in and pay.
Lisa Gaynes suggested that local businesses
could sell swim passes,
just as they sell tickets
for The Palms. This way,
if someone wanted to
swim on the weekend
they could purchase a
pass at a designated
business, solving the
problem of not having
access to City Hall on a
weekend.
David Kelly made the
point that “we are not
going to have a revenue
producing program if
we don’t have a pool to
use.” He then referred
to a recent article in the
Sacramento Bee on

the
Winters
Healthcare Foundation
is doing to promote a
more healthy lifestyle.
“It’s not this program
or that program,” said
Kelly. “I think our program could do a lot with
seniors.” Kelly, who is
over 50, noted that he
was the youngest member of the Masters
group.
Kate Laddish uses the
pool for lap swimming,
and expressed her frustration with how the focus was on decreasing
pool use rather than on
increasing use to generate revenues.
“We have a first-rate
facility,” said Laddish.
“If we can find a way to
use it more, it would
help make up for some
activities that make it
more costly. The more
times the pool is closed,
swimmers bleed out of
town driving to the far
side of Davis to swim.”
She then reminded
council members that
once people drive out of
town they would then
shop elsewhere for groceries and gas, and contribute to decreasing
air quality because of
the commute.
The council and interested community members planned to meet on
Tuesday, March 9, to discuss options for the pool
in detail.
Sign program
In an effort to get
more people into downtown Winters, city staff
member Elliot Landes
gave a presentation on
the City Sign Program.
Landes provided the
council with a schemata
of where the 15 new
signs would be posted
and talked about design
and color scheme.
“People think Grant
(Avenue) is the main
street of Winters,” noted Landes.
The signs would provide much needed guidance
into
Winters’
downtown, encouraging
travelers on Interstate
505 to turn south off
Grant and visit the Main
Street area. The design
of the non-interstate
signs will have a consistent color and design
scheme and will give information on the amenities available in Winters.
Council
member
Woody Fridae said he
was in favor of making
Winters a two exit town.
Landes
responded,
commenting on the
beautiful entrance from
Putah Creek Road at the
trestle bridge, and how
the current signage only
directs drivers back towards Vacaville.
Council member Tom
Stone addressed the issue of money for purchasing the signs.
“The only way we
would move forward
would be through Redevelopment funds,” said
Stone, noting the confusion resulting from
making cuts in one area,
such as recreational
swimming, and spending in another.
Other items
Council
members
unanimously approved
a resolution supporting
the Local Taxpayer,
Safety
and
Public
Transportation Protection Act of 2010. Donlevy explained that the
state of California, in an
attempt to remedy a $21
billion deficit, is seizing
money from local governments.
“The state came after
Winters for well over
$1,000,000,” said Donlevy. The governor and
legislature
proposed
last summer to seize the
gas tax, which may be an
indication they will go
after other funds as well
such as the Transit Occupancy Taxes, Vehicle
License Fees Utility
Users Tax, he said.

~ In an effort to provide ongoing activities
for Winters youth, resident Rory Linton proposed to form the Winters Activities Commission. Linton is seeking
ways to create new activities and helping to
keep events such as
Summer Fun in the
Park, adult softball and
youth softball running.
He said providing new
activities like youth
golfing, a chess club and
“Take a Kid Fishing”
would get kids involved
and at the same time reduce crime. Linton said
the commission would
work with the school
district and City toward
the use, maintenance,
repairs and cost of facil-
ities. Money would be
raised through donations,
grants
and
fundraising.
Linton would also like
to promote large scale
activities with the intent of drawing more
people to Winters businesses. The Commission aims to offer a variety of activities so that
there is something for
everyone, he added.
Correction
In the Feb. 25 story on
the Feb. 16 council
meeting, it was incorrectly noted that a twothirds majority is needed to pass the June tax
measure increasing the
city the utility tax. A majority vote is all that is
needed.

Council approves Team work makes it happen
tax measure
language for ballot
At a special meeting
on Monday, March 8,
that was continued from
the March 2 city council
meeting in order to
meet county deadlines
for the June election,
the Winters City Council
adopted an ordinance
that proposes the Winters Vital Services Measure.”
The tax measure will
appear on the June ballot, and according to the
official language, is intended
to
“protect/maintain essential
City of Winters services,
including public safety
(police/fire), 911 police/fire response times,
maintaining the Community Center, recreation and swim programs, library services
and preserving other
general City services.”
The ordinance was
adopted 4-1, with Councilmember Harold Anderson voting no.
If passed, the measure
will increase the city
utility to 9.5 percent.
The tax will not exceed
$450 annually for each
residential unit within
city limits.
Also adopted was a
resolution that provides
the title of the measure
for the ballot, along
with an advisory question: “Should revenue
from the increase in the
utility users tax proposed in the Winters Vital City Services Measure give priority to
funding operational expenses for City of Winters police and fire services.”
The resolution was
adopted 4-1, with Councilmember Harold Anderson voting no.

Michael and Matt Briggs do the finishing touches on cement work at the Community Garden, which opens this spring. John Platt, Michael Briggs, Matt Briggs, and DNA Hoover volunteered to pour the raised beds for elderly and handicapped planters, and the Rotary Club of Winters donated money for the cost of

Ask the
City Manager
Q: Why can’t Redevelopment funds be used for
General Fund expenses?
A: One of the most difficult things I have to explain to people is why
we are building some
new projects while cutting services in other areas. The simplest answer is that most of the
tax money we receive is
restricted to specific
uses such as construction, streets, water or
sewer. Specific monies
have specific uses.
Throughout the years,
California voters and
the State Legislature
have placed tight restrictions on the use of
tax monies. Through
many propositions and
amendments

State Constitution, most
revenues have a designated use that ties the

coach and counselor
Marcella Heredia has
been working with the
students for months in
preparation for the
state competition and
said she feels confident
that the team will do
well. The Winters team
walked away from the
regional
competition
last month with two
gold, three silver and
two bronze medals in
various subjects. Heredia said the competition is a great opportunity for students to
learn and also feel good
about themselves.
“It gives the kids
something to be proud
of. Davis High up until
2008 had been winning
the county title for
something like 12 years.
In 2008 when our kids
got to represent Yolo
County, they were like
celebrities
in
this
town,” Heredia said.
This is senior Andreina Prado’s third
year on the Winters
Academic

team, and her first year
acting as team captain.
She initially got involved with the team to
try something new, but
once she joined, she
was hooked.
“Having to study and
then having a reward
like the medals, making
friends I wouldn’t have
met otherwise — the
whole experience drew
me back,” Prado said.
Looking ahead, Prado
said she’s both nervous
and excited about competing in the state competition. The stakes are
raised, as the questions
are harder than the regional
competition,
there’s more people,
and ultimately more
pressure.
“At the state, you can
kind of get lost in the
shuffle,” Prado said.
Regardless
of
whether they win the
state title or not, Prado
said the Winters team
plans to have fun.
“It’s still fun to go and
try to improve our
score,” she said. “It’s a
whole team bonding experience.”

Trustee
Stephanie
Atherton posed the idea
of investing in such appliances as low water
toilets and automatic
sinks, which work to
save water. The idea of
eliminating some grass
areas that may not be
necessary
was
also
brought up, as well as
investigating into different breeds of grass
that require minimum
watering.
In the written water
update received at the
board
meeting
and
signed by the district’s
chief business officer,
Gloria Hahn, it was stated that “The District
continues to look for
ways to mitigate the impact these enormous
rate increases have had
and will have, in the future, on scarce district
Trustee
resources.”
Rodney Orosco set in
motion plans to make
the issue a future agenda item and asked that
research and investigation into solutions be
prepared. The board
voiced
support
for
bringing the issue to the
City of Winters after further investigation takes
place.
The board was split
on the issue, as some.
Board president Rodney Orosco said that
cutting stipends would
be “leading by example” in a time when
many are facing financial cuts. Others, however, felt that cutting
trustee stipends would
be unjust, especially
when most trustees cited themselves as donating their stipend money
back into the school district. Board Orosco decided not to press the issue to vote to avoid tensions among trustees,
and to allow the issue of
stipends to remain an
individual decision.
Other items

a resolution requiring a

‘Moon Over Buffalo’ comedy opens Friday
By GERMAINE HUPE
Winters Theatre Company
The Winters Theatre
Company’s production of
“Moon Over Buffalo,”
which opens Friday
night, features a cast of
veteran actors, some of
whom have performed
exclusively with WTC
and others who have acted with other companies
as well as the local one.
The plot concerns a
down-on-their-luck acting company whose
major performers are
George and Charlotte
Hay, once Broadway
stars now reduced to
touring provincial New
York state. Phil Pittman,
who appears as the selfcentered George, was
last seen as the treacherous Parolles in “All’s
Well That Ends Well,”
last summer’s WTC production of Shakespeare
in the Park. He also
played Jacob Marley in
“A Christmas Carol.”
Pittman’s other favorite
roles with area companies include Boolie
Werthan in “Driving
Miss Daisy” and Ben
Hecht in “Moonlight and
Magnolias.”
Charlotte Hay is portrayed
by
Christina
Schiesari, who made her
local debut as the stepmother in WTC’s holiday
production of “Cinderella.” Schiesari also has
appeared as Cleopatra
in San Francisco State’s
version of Shakespeare’s

“Antony and Cleopatra”
and in the major role of
Adela in Garcia-Lorca’s
“The House of Bernarda
Alba” at the same university.
Joanie Bryant plays
Roz, George and Charlotte’s daughter, who has
left the chaos of the theater for the relative normality of the field of
advertising. Bryant had
the title role in WTC’s
production of “Let’s
Murder Marsha,” and
also portrayed the evil
conspirator Dona Juana
in WTC’s recent production of “Much Ado About
Nothing.”
Trent Beeby appears
in the role of Paul, Roz’s
former boyfriend and
the company’s business
manager and general
factotum. Beeby has
been with WTC for severyears
and
has
al
appeared in major roles
ranging from Shakespeare and modern drama to musical comedy
and farce. His most
recent roles were Duke
in
“Twelfth
Orsino
Night,” Scrooge in “A
Christmas Carol,” and
Capt. Von Trapp in “The
Sound of Music.”
The role of Howard, a
TV weatherman and
Roz’s current fiance, is
played by Jim Hewlett,
another longtime WTC
actor. Hewlett recently
appeared in the comic
role of Dogberry in
Shakespeare’s
“Much
Ado About Nothing.” His
favorite role was that of
Mickey, a profoundly
handicapped young man
in WTC’s non-traditional
Christmas play “Greetings” several years ago.
The character of Mickey
is virtually a dual role
since he metamorphosizes into Lucius, a mysterious
angel-prophet
during the course of this
serious drama.
JoAnn May is cast as
Eileen, the company’s
somewhat
naive
ingenue. May has appeared in both featured
and leading roles with
WTC. She most recently
played the no-nonsense
cab driver in “Harvey,”
and she had the major
role of Olivia in “Twelfth
Night.” May says that her
current role as Eileen is
her favorite.
Ann Rost portrays
Ethel,
Grandmother
once
a
well-known
actress but now the
company’s
wardrobe
mistress who is often
the foil for George’s
caustic wit. Since Ethel
is almost completely
deaf, her frequent confusion about what is
said to her leads to additional complications of
the plot. Rost has
played several roles in
past WTC productions.
Her favorite portrayals
include
Emily
in
“Greetings,” M’Lynn in
“Steel Magnolias” and
Grace in “Bus Stop.”

“other man” in Charlottes’s life is played by

Winters sends two wrestlers to state tournament
By RORY LINTON
Special to the Express
Winters High School
had
two
wrestlers
advance to the CIF State
Tournament held at the
Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield last weekend:
Chris Calderone at 140
pounds and Cody Linton
at 152 pounds.
This is a big accomplishment, since only 2
percent of all the California wrestlers make it to
the state tournament.
“We sent more kids to
state then Woodland
Wolves, Woodland Pioneer and Vacaville’s Will
C. Woods did all together,” said coach Tim
Hausler. “This is really
big for such a small
town.”
Calderone and Linton
both had 40 wrestlers in
their respective weight
categories.
The
first
round of the competition
was out brackets, in
which Linton competed.
Linton’s
match
was
against Ben Martinez
from Central Catholic of
Modesto. Linton lost to
Martinez at the Sierra
Nevada
Classic
in
December, but this time
put up a great fight,
winning by decision, 5-4.
Advancing to the next
round, Linton wrestled
Brode Chenowith from
Ramona and again won
by decision, 9-7. Calderone lost in this round
by decision, 3-5, to
Charles Chavez from El
Dorado.
In the third round of
competition, Linton lost
by tech fall to Bradley
Johnson from Canyon
Springs and Calderone
won by decision, 5-3,
against Brandon Sneathen from Upper Lake.
Advancing to the fourth
round,
both
Winters
wrestlers lost. Calderone
lost 3-12 against Ricky
Feng from Lincoln and
Linton lost 3-8 to Nick
Pena from Millikan.
“I am proud of the
accomplishments from
both kids and expect
them both to place next
year,” Hausler said.
Because of Winters
High School’s success in
wrestling, it was given
an invitation to the one
of the most prestigious
in
the
tournaments
country, the Five Counties
Invitational
in
Fountain Valley.

Lady Warriors shut out Biggs in opener
Hyer strikes out 9, Tobler
leads team with 4 hits
By ERIC LUCERO
Express sports
Under the direction of new
head coach Polita Gonzales, the
Winters Warriors varsity softball
team started its season with a
doubleheader against visiting
Biggs on Saturday, March 6, and
dominated the Wolverines in
both games.
The Lady Warriors won the
first game 14-0 in five innings,
with Tess Hyer getting the win
on the mound. Hyer struck out
nine batters and gave up just
one hit in her season debut.
At the plate, the Lady Warriors
were led by Haley Tobler who batted 4 for 4. Zulema Mora and Katie
Clark each batted 2 for 3. Hyer and
Valya Harmon both went 2 for 4,
while Sarah Selby, Jessica Junez
and Ashlynne Neil each had one
hit for the Warriors.
Game two was much of the
same as the first with the Warriors winning 10-0 in five
innings. Neil took the mound
this time for the Warriors, and
pretty much duplicated what
Hyer did in game one, posting
seven strike-outs and allowing
just one hit.
Tobler again went 4 for 4 and
ended the day batting 8 for 8
with a triple and three doubles.
Hyer batted 2 for 3 with a double.
Neil hit her first home run of
the season, while Ashley Shaw,
Brittanie Hedrick and Mora
each had one hit for the Warriors.

Features
NPH an unfamiliar
cause of dementia
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
My wife, 78, has had
headaches, some memory problems and confusion. A brain scan
showed hydrocephalus.
We were referred to a
neurosurgeon, and he
ordered an infusion
study. We have waited
six weeks for that appointment. At an earlier appointment, we met
someone who had had
the infusion study and
then had a shunt
placed. He said he got
his life back. Someone
else told us that 10 percent of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's
disease really have normal pressure hydrocephalus, which is fixable. What is your reaction to this? -- J.R.
ANSWER: Dementia is
a fog that descends on
the brain, erasing memory and impairing many
other mental functions.
Alzheimer's disease is
the major cause of dementia. However, there
are other causes, and
one of them is normal
hydropressure
cephalus. I can't vouch
for the statement that 10
percent of Alzheimer's
patients have NPH, but
I am sure there are a
few who do. I don't want
to raise false hopes for
Alzheimer's patients.
In NPH, the balance between the production
and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid is lost.
The volume of fluid
within the brain increases and compresses
it. That leads to the
signs and symptoms of
NPH.
The three major indicators of NPH are an abnormal walk, a diminution of memory and other mental functions (dementia) and an urgency
to empty the bladder
with frequent loss of
bladder control. The
NPH gait is one where
steps are taken slowly,
in short strides and with
the legs wide apart.
People look as though
their feet are glued to
the ground and they
have difficulty turning
themselves. A person
doesn't need all three
criteria to merit the diagnosis.
If signs, symptoms
and tests, including a
brain scan and the infusion test your wife is going to have, point to normal pressure hydrocephalus,
then
drainage of the excess
brain fluid often can restore a person's life, as
the man you met in the
doctor's office said. A
thin, plastic tube (a
shunt) drains the fluid
to other body sites
where it is absorbed.
Alzheimer's disease
is far and away the leading cause of dementia.
The
booklet
on
Alzheimer's disease describes it and its treatments in detail. To order a copy, write to: Dr.
Donohue -- No. 903W,
Box 536475, Orlando, FL
32853-6475. Enclose a
check or money order
(no cash) for $4.75
U.S./$6 Canada with the

recipient's
name
and
address.
Please allow four weeks
for delivery.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
When my son was 10, the
doctor gave him a nasal
spray to stop his bedwetting. It worked well.
He told us to use it only
when the boy was going
to be away for the night.
My son is now an adult
and is 6 feet 8 inches
tall. Did that inhaler
make him grow so tall, a
height that is uncomfortable for him? -- B.P.
ANSWER: The medicine in the inhaler was a
synthetic version of a pituitary gland hormone
called antidiuretic hormone, a hormone that
slows urine production.
It has nothing to do with
growth. I guess the
world can be inhospitable to the very tall,
but many of us wouldn't
mind trading places
with them.
***

that he is unable to answer individual letters,
but he will incorporate
them in his column
whenever
possible.

Still haven’t reached my ‘Hellpoint’
Lately,
I’ve
been
thinking about my father’s side of my family
tree. I didn’t know a
thing about them until
after my father had already died. It was an adventure in itself that for
once, turned out good,
unlike most of my other
adventures in life.
My father tried to kill
me. I can only speculate
as to the reasons why. I
don’t believe it was rooted in hate and I was only
six or seven years old so
it was too early in life for
me to have done anything he might have considered
a
trespass
against him.
He loved me. I don’t
understand how I know
this but I do. I’m certain
of it. I have had to live
without him for virtually all of my life for obvious reasons. He lived
without me until just
two weeks before he
died.
A telephone call out of
the blue from an uncle
that I had almost forgotten, informed me that if
I wanted to see my father, it had better be
soon. The voice on the
other end of the phone
was my Uncle Tracy
whom I had met only
once, many years ago.
He told me that in less
than two weeks, my father would be gone.
Thirty hours later I
was on a jetliner bound
for the Battle Creek VA
Medical Center Hospice. My uncle was to
meet me at the airport.
Not knowing what he
looked like I wandered
the airport for some
time. I borrowed a magic marker and a piece of
paper
to
make
a
“Sanders” sign. Half
way through the sign
construction, the man
next to me said, “I am
Sanders.” I offered my
hand but he gave me a
big bear hug.
I had waited all of my
life for some sign of love
from my father’s side of
the family. My eyes
welled with tears. I
could not stop the emotions.
We rented a car, a
Cadillac SUV, found a
motel; separate rooms.
We decided to go to the
hospice the next morning. He offered to pay for
dinner, so it was over a
steak that he asked me
about my life. I told him
that I had written it all
down in a book and I had
brought him a copy.
I don’t believe he was
ready for what was in
the book. That night neither of us could sleep.
He was reading and I
was standing at my motel door watching the
lightning of the worst
storm to hit Battle Creek
in many years. It was a
wonderful storm. So
powerful.
I stood with the rain
dripping out of my hair
when his light went out
at about four a.m. The
storm was unbelievably
beautiful.
I had forgotten how
different the storms in
California are from the
storms back east. They
are as different as drizzle is from a monsoon.
California storms can be
but
eastern
mean
storms can be downright
dangerous and violent
beyond belief.
They remind me of the
Disney cartoon where a
violent storm was set to
classical music. Some of
you might remember
this cartoon. I was mesmerized by the lightning
that clashed and banged
all night long. I don’t
know how anyone slept
through it.
My uncle was overwhelmed with emotion
when he opened his
door to see me standing
there waiting for the
trip to the hospice. He
held me tight and told
me he was sorry all of
those things happened
to me. He said that he
had looked for us but we
had disappeared from
the face of the Earth.
He never knew I was
in an orphanage in Little Rock at the same
time African Americans
were in the midst of
their struggle for human
rights. Thus I was tied to
them in a struggle but
we were separated by an
eight-foot fence designed to keep me in
place.
Their
fences
were invisible but just
as real.
We talked about that
and what had happened
to me in the Republic of
Vietnam. Combined, the
orphanage and Vietnam
had consumed my life
force until at the age of
21 I was just making my
way through life as an
empty shell. I was devoid of any need to seek
happiness and unable to
provide such to any other person that might
care for me for some
reason.
This leads me to the
point of this column.
Every once in a while we
read in the paper or see
on the news that some
veteran has killed his
entire family and then
killed himself. I have always called this the
“Hellpoint.” It is the
point where a veteran
can no longer control
the struggle within his
own mind. Most hurt
themselves but no one
else.
I believe that my father was at his “Hellwhen
he
point”
slammed
my
face
against that sink. I believe that mentally, he
was not even there. He
was either in the South
Pacific fighting for his
life or he really was
there in that kitchen
and didn’t want me to
have to live the same life
that he did.
As it turned out, except for living in a mental facility all of his life,
his life was very similar
to mine. He was inpatient and I was outpatient.
My dad died 10 days after I saw him at the hospice. I was hoping that
he would know me but
he was too far gone. It
was a sad affair but his
funeral, just weeks later
in Tennessee, introduced me to hundreds
upon hundreds of family
member that I never
knew existed.
When all the storms
had cleared I was still
close but not at my
“Hellpoint.”

¿Sabe usted lo que sus niños hacen?
Día Internacional de la Mujer
El día 8 de marzo mujeres y hombres que trabajan por las causas de las mujeres conmemoran en todo el mundo los esfuerzos que éstas
han realizado por alcanzar la igualdad, la justicia, la paz y el desarrollo. Más allá de fronteras nacionales y diferencias étnicas, lingüísticas, culturales, económicas y políticas, las
mujeres de los cinco continentes organizan
diversos eventos para festejar este día.
Sobre el 8 de marzo existen diversas versiones. La más conocida es la de un incendio
ocurrido en una fábrica textil de Nueva York
en 1857, donde habrían muerto quemadas las
obreras que hacían una huelga. Según la historiadora canadiense Renée Côté, no existen
pruebas documentales de que un incendio de
esas características se produjera ese año, ni
que ese hecho fuera el motivo para establecer
una jornada internacional de las mujeres.
Un 8 de marzo de 1857 una marcha pionera
de obreras textiles recorrió los suburbios
ricos de la ciudad de Nueva York para protestar por las miserables condiciones de trabajo.
Un 5 de marzo de 1908 en Nueva York comenzó
una huelga de las obreras textiles reclamando
la igualdad salarial, que se disminuyera la jornada a diez horas y que se permitiera un tiempo para la lactancia.
El Día Internacional de la Mujer fue instaurado en 1910 por la alemana Clara Zetkin, integrante del Sindicato Internacional de Obreras
de la Confección, durante el Congreso Internacional de Mujeres Socialistas en Copenhague, Dinamarca.
El primer Día Internacional de la Mujer se
celebró el 19 de marzo de 1911 en Alemania,
Austria, Dinamarca y Suiza, conmemorando
un levantamiento ocurrido en Prusia en esa
fecha. Las demandas fueron el derecho al
voto, la igualdad de oportunidades para
ejercer cargos públicos y el derecho al trabajo.
Los derechos humanos de la mujer son parte
inalienable, integrante e indivisible de los
derechos humanos universales. La plena participación, en condiciones de igualdad, de la
mujer en la vida política, civil, económica,
social y cultural y la erradicación de todas las
formas de discriminación basadas en el sexo
son objetivos prioritarios de la comunidad
internacional.
En la actualidad algunas mujeres ya gozan
de mayores derechos, pero todavía falta
mucho por hacer, ya que sin diferencia de
raza, religión, cultura, situación económica,
social o política, todavía miles de ellas viven
en el maltrato y el menosprecio. No queremos
dejar pasar esta fecha sin darle nuestro
reconocimiento y admiración, a todas aquellas mujeres en todo el mundo; que día a día
con su participación en casa, el trabajo, con su
familia y en la sociedad, nos demuestra que
tienen la fuerza, decisión y carácter para formar parte de un mundo mejor e igualitario
para todos. No dejes pasar esta fecha sin
demostrarle a esa mujer que tienes en casa, tu
admiración y agradecimiento con un detalle,
que por muy simple que sea, representa tu
respeto, apoyo y consideración.
Imagínese que son
después de las 10 de la
noche y un policía ve a
varios
adolescentes
vagando en frente de un
negocio o en el parque
de la ciudad. El oficial
contacta a los adolescentes y determina que
uno de los adolescentes
está drogado o embriagado. El adolescente es
detenido y llaman a sus
padres. ¿Cual sería la
respuesta apropiada por
parte de los padres a
este tipo de incidente?
A) Permitir que mi
hijo(a) regrese a casa
con una advertencia.
B) ¿Por qué paró a mi
hijo(a)?
C) ¿Por qué está molestando a mi hijo(a)?
D) Haga lo que tenga
que hacer oficial. Voy en
camino a recoger a mi
hijo(a). Me encargaré de
la conducta de mi hijo(a)
y voy a asegurar que esto
no suceda otra vez.
E) No me importa.
Ahora, los oficiales
han enfrentado estos
casos con frecuencia y
muchos de estos casos
terminan con una de estas respuestas.
En meses recientes,
han van visto varios
reportes, implicando a
adolescentes, de alborotos,
vandalismo,
actividad de droga y embriaguez en público.
oficiales
han
Los
respondido a muchas
llamadas en-progreso
que implican a adolescentes en asuntos semejantes en los parques y
en las escuelas. Tan
pregunto, ¿Sabe usted
lo que sus niños hacen?
oficiales
han
Los
encontrado a varios adolescentes de 14 a 17 años
de edad embriagados y
vagando después de las
10 de la noche. Sobre los
últimos fines de semana
pasados,
han
visto
aproximadamente 20 a
25 adolescentes de 13 a
17 años que pasan el rato
el campo de juegos.
Detrás de ellos dentro
de las estructuras de
madera de campo de juegos encontraron latas de
cerveza vacías en el suelo. Había parafernalia
de droga encima de una
mesa. Nadie podría ser
ligado directamente a
la posesión del alcohol
o la parafernalia. Los
luego
reoficiales
spondieron a una llamada de alboroto. Personas
estaban gritando nombres relacionados con
pandillas hacia un grupo
de adolescentes que
estaban vagando cerca
del campo de beisbol.
Después un vecino vio a
varios adolescentes con
gorras negras causando
alboroto en frente de su
yarda.
Cuándo
ella
procuró confrontarlos,
uno de los niños la amenazo con tirarle una
piedra por su ventana y
orinar en su propiedad.
La mayoría de estos
adolescentes se encuentran vagando en la ciudad después de las 10 de
la noche. ¿Dónde consiguen el alcohol? Los
oficiales de Winters
encontraron a una adolescente de 14 años que
tenia el contenido de
alcohol en su sangre de
.232, tres veces el límite
legal de un conductor
afectado. Si los oficiales
no la hubieran encontrado, ella podría haber
sufrido un sobredosis de
alcohol o pudo haber
muerto. Este caso todavía esta bajo investigación.
Los oficiales también
han respondido a varios
reportes de grafiti a
través de la ciudad. No
hay ningún objetivo
específico, pintan grafiti
en todas partes, casas,
vehículos, y negocios.
Las escuelas han sido
objetivos de grafiti, ventanas rotas, y de robos de
propiedad.
La policía ha tomado
un enfoque proactivo
hacia estos crímenes.
Por el momento, no tenemos suficiente personal, pero la ciudad esta
buscando maneras de
remediar esta situación.
Los oficiales están
citando a adolescentes
que se encuentran vagando después de las 10
de la noche. Adicionalmente, los oficiales encuentran a adolescentes
endrogados o embriagados y en posesión de drogas o alcohol.
Estas infracciones son
adelantadas al el Departamento Juvenil del Condado de Yolo y a la oficina Fiscal del distrito de
el Condado de Yolo. Los
resultados
de
estas
infracciones pueden ser
prosecuciones, multas,
requisitos pagados de
restitución,
libertad
condicional, y otras ramificaciones legales costosas.
Por lo tanto, es importante saber lo que sus
niños hacen. Padres constantemente deben tener el conocimiento de
donde están sus hijos y
con quien se asocian.
Aproximadamente 95%
de niños hoy tienen teléfonos celulares. Así, no
debe ser tan difícil
averiguar lo que sus
niños están haciendo.
Como padres, tienen la
autoridad sobre sus
niños para vigilar su
bienestar. No permita
que el sistema llegue a
ser su guardián, y
después quejarse que el
sistema les falló a sus hijos. La responsabilidad
comienza en casa.
Aquí están varios consejos que puede considerar.
1) Asegure cualquier
lata de pintura y
alcohol en su casa.
2) Revise las mochilas, recámaras, y bolsas
por latas de pintura y
alcohol.
3) Revise a sus hijos
cuando lleguen a casa
para síntomas de alcohol o uso drogas.
4) Comunícense con
otros padres acerca de
semejantes problemas.
5) Revise las manos,
uñas, ropa y zapatos por
manchas de pintura o
tinte de marcador.
6) Debe de chequear
por guantes con manchas de pintura.
7) Debe de chequear
los suéteres, chaquetas,
o cualquier ropa con
bolsillos largos por que
pueden ocultar las latas
de pintura y marcadores en los bolsillos
o bajo la ropa.
8) Revise los ojos
inyectados de sangre.
Esto puede ser resultado
del expuesto a vapores
tóxicos peligrosos.
9) Revise la cachucha,
cuadernos, y otras posesiones por nombres o
etiquetas relacionadas
con pandillas.
10) Hable con sus
hijos acerca de estos
asuntos y si tiene
cualquier información,
contacte la policía, (530)
795-4561 o por correo
electrónico
a
tips.

Esperamos que este
mensaje sirva para traer
un nuevo nivel de
conocimiento a familias
y la comunidad. La
responsabilidad comienza en la casa para construir una base más
fuerte para preservar

sociales de la comunidad.

Programa de Equivalencia de Preparatoria (HEP) Nos vemos en la biblioteca
La universidad Estatal
de California en Sacramento recibió fondos
federales para el Programa de Equivalencia
de Preparatoria (HEP).
Desde su creación en
1993, el programa CSUSHEP ha ayudado a más
de 1,700 trabajadores
agrícolas y migratorios y
a sus familias a obtener
el Diploma de Educación General, (GED)
tanto en inglés como en
español. Además de
ofrecer clases en inglés y
español este programa
paga los cinco exámenes
oficiales de GED. Aún
más, se provee consejería educativa para
ayudar a los graduados a
obtener mejores trabajos y/o a continuar con su
educación en colegios
comunitarios o escuelas
vocacionales.
La profesora María
Mejorado,
directora
del
programa
HEP,
señala, “HEP ofrece un
programa de estudio de
seis a nueve meses para
ayudar a los estudiantes
que trabajan en agricultura o que son trabajadores migratorios a
obtener su GED. De
manera que somos una
muy buena alternativa
para aquellas personas
que no terminaron la
preparatoria en su país
natal o para aquellos
estudiantes
que no
pueden
obtener
su
“High School Diploma”
ya sea porque no
pasaron el CAHSEEExamen estatal de salida de preparatoria o no
tienen suficientes unidades para graduarse.”
HEP opera todo el año
y ayuda a más de 180 participantes. El área de
servicio se extiende desde el Colegio Comunitario de Woodland, la
preparatoria de Winters, Galt, Dixon, y el
Condado
de
San
Joaquín.

Season two could be a breakout year for Joey Logano, who
wonʼt turn 20 until May. The 2009 Raybestos Rookie of the Year
has finished fifth and sixth in the past two races.
Donʼt look now, but Logano, a Middletown, Conn., native, is
eighth in the Sprint Cup point standings, ahead of Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Kyle Busch (12th) and Denny Hamlin (22nd).
“I feel more excited to come to the race tracks, is what it comes
down to,” said Logano. “Last year it was, ʻOh, boy, California, we
stunk there last time.ʼ I donʼt know if I want to go there. Now, you
look at these places, and youʼre excited to go back to the track because you think youʼre going to have a good race car.
“Iʼm more pumped up about coming to the race track. I think thatʼs
the biggest deal, me knowing what I want. Itʼs the biggest (learning)
curve Iʼve ever taken.”
Logano was still in grade school when Mark Martin began
telling whoever would listen that the kid was going to be a star. One
hears such stories quite often in NASCAR, but most fall short of
such heady forecasts. Logano, so far, has passed every test on his
way to the top.
Loganoʼs one Sprint Cup victory — New Hampshire Motor
Speedway in June 2009 — was something of an anomaly, greatly
aided by a timely rain shower that cut the race short. He wound up
finishing 20th in the point standings with the victory, three top-five
finishes and seven top 10s.
Itʼs obvious: Logano is starting to “get it.”
“Itʼs a gradual deal,” he said. “Itʼs not like a light switch. I remember last year at this point. Kyle (Busch) and Denny (Hamlin)
were telling me something, or Zippy (crew chief Greg Zipadelli)
was telling me something, and I couldnʼt make sense of it in my
mind.
As I kept going with time, and kept thinking about what they
said to me when I was on the race track. Iʼd think about it and then,
eventually, I made sense of it.”
Early results this year have raised the bar on expectations.
“I think itʼs cool,” said Logano. “Iʼm excited. Eighth in points ... and
last year I would have been happy with 20th in points at this point in
the season.
“I wish theyʼd start the Chase now, but we have a long way to
go.”

MOMENTS IN TIME
The History Channel
• On March 28, 1814, the funeral of Guillotin, the
inventor and namesake of the infamous execution device, takes place outside of Paris. Guillotin
had built the guillotine to show the intellectual and
social progress of the Revolution; by killing aristocrats and journeymen the same way, equality in
death was ensured.
• On March 23, 1839, the initials “O.K.” are first
published, in The Boston Morning Post. Meant as
an abbreviation for “oll correct,” a popular slang
misspelling of “all correct” at the time, OK steadily
made its way into the everyday speech of Americans.
• On March 22, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt signs the Beer and Wine Revenue Act.
This law levies a federal tax on all alcoholic beverages to raise revenue for the federal government
and gives individual states the option to further
regulate the sale and distribution of beer and
wine.
• On March 24, 1945, Billboard publishes its first
pop-music chart for albums. The first No. 1 album
was Nat King Coleʼs “King Cole Trio.” Billboard
had been publishing charts for single records
since 1940.
• On March 26, 1987, responding to a 911 call, police raid the Philadelphia home of Gary Heidnik
and find an appalling crime scene. In the basement of his dilapidated house was a veritable torture chamber where three women were found
chained to a sewer pipe. Heidnik was one the inspirations for the Buffalo Bill character in “Silence
of the Lambs.”
