He’s such an easy-go ing member of the team and a very effec tive member as well. It’ll be an adjustment for us when he leaves and he’ll be missed veryAccordingmuch.” to Trepa, the recruitment pro cess to identify the next fire chief will begin after Lopez’s departure. In the meantime, Winters Fire Captain Matthew Schechla will fill in the role of Acting Fire Chief.“Captain Schechla will do a great job jug gling shift duties as Acting Chief.

Previously, the WHS bell schedule alternated between their Explore Friday classes and late start Fridays to provide an opportunity for their staff to engage in a professional learning community.
In the fall of 2021, both Waggoner Ele mentary and Shirley Rominger Interme diate schools began providing time for staff to participate in professional learning communities by incor porating early release Fridays into their bell schedules.

Mikaila Anello Mikaila Anello, a sophomore at Winters High School, is the Pisani’s Athlete of the Week. Anello has swam with the Vacaville Swim Club, a year-round competitive swim team, for the last four and a half years. She competed in the Bill Rose Classic long course championship meet in July in the 200-meter and 400-meter freestyle, and 200-meter and 100-meter breaststroke.

While Winters has gone sev eral years without hosting, the success of the camp this year has AYSO registrants hop ing that this program will continue in the future years to come. “We would love to continue having the camp going forward, however it will large ly depend on interest and having families available and able to host the coaches that come. Having local families help keep the camp fees lower for everyone,” said Re gional Commissioner Alissa Clark. This summer, the UK International Soccer camp lasted five days, starting on Monday, July 18 and continuing through Friday, July 22. The camp was designed for the entire league and helped players between the ages of four and 14 to learn and develop new skills and techniques in a fun environment. This year, there were about 16-18 play ers registered in the 7-14 year old group and about seven to eight players in the evening session for 4 to 6-year-olds. These players were privi leged to work with highly skilled coaches from the UK in prepa ration for the upcom ing fall season. In addition to focus ing on strengthening basic soccer skills, the coaches enhanced the team experience for athletes by introduc ing Social and Emo tional Learning ele ments within each the Camp Day. They also brought in creative el ements through their International Day where athletes were assigned a country to craft a flag for and to share some infor mation about soccer there.With excitement lev els at an all time high the UK International coaches reached back out to the league and came back and host another camp that kicked off on Monday, Aug.Clark15. said the bo nus week of camp is a great benefit to all the players who partici pate as they prepare for the first game of the season which will be held on Saturday, Sept. 10.

VIERNES from 2 the future of the de partment and I’m confident the city will find someone that will continue to lead this organization into the future and ad dress the challeng es. We have a great community and great leadership in the city and it’s opportunity for continued growth and change, and change is good.” Lopez’s career at Winters FD began back in 1992. His fam ily had moved to Win ters from Vacaville when he was still a teenager, and at the time he wasn’t quite sure what he wanted to do as a career. One day he walked to the fire station — then lo cated on Abbey Street — knocked on the door and fate answered. Lopez became a vol unteer at the Winters FD, and within six months he knew he wanted to pursue this life“Bothpath.of my cousins worked at the City of Vacaville Police De partment and Fire Department. They were always sort of an inspiration for me as a young kid, just looking up to them and see ing them in uniform and serving the com munity,” Lopez said explaining his inspi ration to join the Win ters FD. “They would always encourage me to look at the different career paths, so that always stuck with me having that exposure and experience. That led me to the door of the Winters Fire De partment.”Fastforward to 2002, Lopez was hired on as a full-time engineer firefighter. A year after that he was pro moted to fire captain. In that role, he spent the next 17 years being responsible for opera tions, training for the department and the volunteer program. He was promoted to Fire Captain in March 2019 after participat ing in an Interim Chief program as the City of Winters transitioned the Fire Chief posi tion to in-house. “I never really en visioned myself being in this role or aspired to this level, but as I’ve gotten older my passion has grown for the fire service. I felt by promoting I could have a higher level of influence in our profession, with our firefighters and with our community,” said Lopez. “I wanted to continue to make this a great place to work, a great organi zation with wonderful people but also a safe community. It’s a com munity that I’ve grown to love and have raised kids here and they’ve gone to school here. It’s just been a passion and love of mine that’s pretty deep-rooted.” ones after fromwentforgradesthandaymandatingawhenduringbellgardingFridayhavetomakebestinbeingheart,tookGirimonteschool.saidstaffthefeedbacktoandwithWHStheonlyoutlierbellschedules,theapproachwastotheadjustmenthaveeachschoolconsistentearlyreleasetimes.DiscussionsretheWHSschedulebeganthesummerthedeadlinefor2019Californialawtheschoolstartnoearlier8a.m.formiddleand8:30a.m.highschoolersintoeffect.Girimontesaiddatathe2020Census, and their eligibility for the Federal Com munications Com mission E-Rate pro gram, causes Winters schools to meet the definition of “rural” and exempts them from the linelateoflastnary,”thatwefamiliesovercome.thefamilies,thechangesadministratorsDistrictJointcussions,Throughmandate.thosedisWintersUnifiedSchoolstaffandWHSmadetobetterlineschedulesupforrecognizinghardshipcouldbe“ThereisaburdencarrywhenhaveascheduleisoutoftheordiGirimontesaid.Girimonteaddedschoolyear,somethehighschool’sstartdatesdidn’tupwiththeoth er sites’ early release dates, and the school district made steps to prevent that from hap pening again. “Last year, not all the early Friday re leases aligned,” Gi rimonte said. “We collaborated across all four sites and are now the same — And all the bell schedules line up, Friday,too”Aug. 19 is the first Early Release Friday for WHS stu dents for the school year.On Aug. 11, WHS Principal John Bar sotti sent a message to high school families on the ParentSquare app detailing the Early Release Friday dates.

The three told (in verse) of the e ect of the market closing on members of the community, and named each person who worked in the store, telling of their special virtues or vices. A mixture of laughter and tears greeted their performance. The Vasey Brothers Market was located in the space where the Farmer’s Closet and Shaved Ice are now in business, below the Winters Opera House.

By Wally Pearce Winters Elder Day Council Do you have an older person in your life, a family member or friend, that you love and appreciate? Do you have an elderly person in your life that you love and appreciate? National Senior Citizens Day, Sunday, Aug. 21 is that annual day to let them know how much you care about them and it’s an opportunity to recognize their accomplishments to family and community.The2022theme is the day to let them know how much we care and it’s an opportunity to recognize their accomplishments. It’s also an opportunity raise awareness of the special health needs of older persons and of their contributions to their own health and to the functioning of the societies in which they live. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed this holiday to raise awareness about issues that affect senior citizens and their quality of life. Today, many senior citizens are active in their communities as well as continuing to have a strong presence in the workforce. For all they do and have achieved for the good of their families and communities, senior citizens deserve our cheers and gratitude. The history of the National Senior Citizen’s Day dates to 1988 when it was officially founded by the former President of the United States of America, Ronald Reagan. On Aug. 19, 1988, President Regan signed Promulgation 5847, which appeared on 21 August as National Day of the Third Age. Reagan was the first to announce the first National Day of the Third Age.The main purpose of National Senior Citizen’s Day is to raise awareness of the condition of older people and to support them throughout their aging process. The day is also recognized for the well-being of the elderly to recognize and appreciate their accomplishments and their participation in society to promote their skills and knowledge.Thereason to celebrate this day is to thank our elders for everything they’ve done for their children, and to acknowledge them. They sacrifice their entire lives to nurture their relationships. Selfless service for one’s whole deserves something important. That’s why National Senior Citizen’s sDay is celebrated. When they dedicate a special day of the year to the elderly, they give their families the opportunity to see their love and commitment. National Senior Citizen’s Day is an important moment to remind the government of its commitment to work towards goals, to help seniors and, among other things, to end hunger and poverty for the elderly and people of all ages. On Saturday, Aug. 21 please join with the Winters Elder Day Council as they celebrate National Senior Citizens Day, the annual day set aside to let these trailblazers know how much we support, and care about them.
Celebrate National Senior Citizens Day Aug. 21
Although Senior Citizen Day is that one day each year where we officially honor our older adults, every-day we should take time to rejoice the people who are part of the fastest-growing demographic in the world. According to the traditional definition, a senior citizen (older adult) is anyone older than 65 years of age, but this seems young by today’s standards. National Senior Citizens Day is the day to show them our sincere appreciation and recognize their life accomplishments. It’s also a time to help raise awareness of various issues that affect senior citizens each day. In 1988, Reagan declared the holiday, but prior to this many observed Aug. 14 as Senior Citizens Day as it was the day in 1935 when Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. Today, senior citizens are still continually active in our communities and workforce. Older adults contribute heavily to our society and for what they have accomplished and continue to achieve, they deserve our sincere gratitude.Thisyear, in honor of National Senior Citizens Day, please spend time with your favorite relatives and friends and make a commitment to volunteer in a service area that benefits older adults sometime in the next year. Sometimes, just offering a celebratory cake makes for a happy time.Please join with the Winters Elder Day Council in recognizing all the senior citizens in our community for who they are and for all they have accomplished and contribute. Senior citizens are essential to us all. Metro Special to the Express Mentors tend to be unsung heroes. If asked to explain their success, many who have reached the pinnacle of their professions would cite the influence of a valuable mentor among the many factors that helped them achieve their goals. Mentoring is often discussed in terms that note its value to those being mentored, but mentors also gain much from the experience of helping the people they advise. That’s worth noting for successful individuals over 50 who are looking to make the most of their professional experience by giving back to others. Professionals thinking of becoming a mentor can consider the many ways the experience could be as beneficial for them as it is for the people they will help.
• Mentoring can benefit your bottom line. Mentors typically pursue mentoring to give back. However, becoming a mentor can benefit your bottom line.

Such connections also can be hard to make for adults overAdults50. over 50 may be more comfortable with social media now than they were a decade ago, but it’s still a good idea to brush up on basic security measures that can help men and women protect their privacy as they utilize platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
• Turn off location information. The technology behind social media is impressive and even makes it possible to determine where users are when they tweet or post to other platforms. But many users, especially those concerned about their privacy, don’t want to share location information with anyone, much less strangers. Turn off location information and routinely double check to make sure it’s still turned off.Adults over 50 are engaging with social media.

By Guadalupe Lopez Winters FFA Reporter On Tuesday, Aug. 16, Winters FFA members began arriving at the Yolo County Fairgrounds with their livestock projects and ag mechanics projects. Students have worked all summer preparing these projects for the fair and they are very excited to have the opportunity to display their hard work. The time that they've put into their animals has given them the chance to learn about time management, responsibility, and a lot of species specific skills that they will showcase in their respective shows. In total, there are one steer, one goat, 17 hogs, and nine sheep projects. Winters FFA Livestock exhibitors come every day to the Ag site to feed, clean, and walk their animals. They also attend weekly showmanship meetings to perfect their animal’s walking and stance which they will be judged on at the Showmanship Competition. Hogs and goats will be shown on Wednesday, Aug. 17, and sheep and steers will be shown on Thursday, Aug. 18. The Winters FFA members will be selling their livestock projects at the Yolo County Livestock Auction on Saturday at 11 a.m. Winters FFA members will also be entering various ag mechanics projects at the fair. The ag mechanics students have been working on their projects throughout the school year and summer. The members have built fire pits and more. Our chapter’s projects will be on display at the Yolo county fairgrounds. These projects will be sold on Saturday, Aug. 20, immediately following the livestock auction.TheWinters FFA chapter has been so fortunate in having many great supporters financially helping the FFA members with their projects and we are always grateful to find new supporters at the Yolo County Fair. For more information on purchasing any of these projects, contact ag instructors Donnie Whitworth and Kayla Mederos.

By Anthony Volkar Special to the Express The Yolo County Office of Education, in collaboration with First 5 Yolo and Yolo County, is offering an outdoor COVID-19 vaccination clinic on Saturday, Aug. 20, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at their main administrative building, located at 1280 Santa Anita Ct. in Woodland. The clinic plans to distribute Moderna doses to children from six months to five years of age at no cost regardless of insurance or immigration status. In addition to pediatric vaccines, the clinic will also offer first dose, second dose, and booster doses to those who are eligible. Everyone aged five and older is eligible to receive a first booster dose at least five months after receiving the last dose in the primary series. The clinic will accept walkins and appointments. Every child that is vaccinated will receive a 15-inch teddy bear or bath toy provided by First 5 Yolo. A food truck will also be provided to those who are vaccinated and their friends andIndividualsfamily. can make an appointment to be vaccinated through the state’s MyTurn system at myturn.ca.gov. As of Tuesday, the vaccine clinic had available appointments every five minutes starting at 9:25 a.m. In mid-June, COVID-19 vaccinations for babies from six months through four years were recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and authorized by the Food and Drug Administration. The American Academy of Pediatrics has also recommended the COVID-19 vaccine for children in this age group. The pediatric Moderna vaccine is a two-dose vaccine series and children receiving a first dose on Saturday will need to return on September 17 to the same location for their second dose. For minors ages five to 11, parents and guardians will need to complete a consent form before being vaccinated.

For some reason I like contests. I don’t care if we are guessing when a baby will be born or how much rainfall we will get. Maybe it is just a family gambling gene, as I’m getting ready to put together another, private, football contest with a dozen friends. My father always ran a football contest in the Express and I liked the merchant Thanksgiving turkey give-a-way contest.Over the years, I’ve given away Giants tickets, lots of turkeys, cash, subscriptions and gift baskets to the first Winters baby born after the New Year. I’ve been thinking that the housing boom is over, but my neighbor put his house on the market and it was marked pending in less than two weeks. With rising interest rates, houses will become too expensive for a lot of new homebuyers.Justforan example. If you could find a $600,000 home to buy in Winters, with a 20 percent down payment, 30 year fixed rate loan at current 5.1 percent interest, your monthly payment would be around $2,600. Last year your payment would have been $1,900, with a 2.5 percent loan. My examples don’t include taxes or insurance.Ifyouwere looking to buy a home when interest rates were low, your $2,600 monthly payment would let you buy an $800,000 home. That is a big difference when there are limited number of homes for sale and more buyers than sellers. But, I think that is all about to change with interest rates on the rise and building material costs rising with inflation. What if you don’t have a 20 percent down payment? A $600,000 home with current interest rates and three percent down would leave you with a monthly payment of around $3,150. A year ago your payment would have been $2,300. Move up to a $800,000 home with a three percent down payment and you would have to come up with $3,100 last year, or $4,200 this month. You get the idea of what higher interest rates can do to someone looking to buy a home. The question is when will the rubber hit the road and skid to a halt? There are still a lot of foundations being poured in Winters. I believe the homes being built around the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be marketed as affordable. Read Richard Casavecchia’s recent column (Aug. 10 edition) if you want to understand the different levels of affordability. I’m guessing that they may be the last foundations poured in Winters for awhile, but who knows what a developer might do next week, let alone next year.When people are looking for a home, banks calculate out how much of a home you can afford, mostly by figuring out your monthly payment, including tax, insurance and maintenance. They compare your an-

Geerts Express sta writer When the pandemic hit, fear, helplessness and hopelessness spread like a wildfire. Local resident Jose Jara opted to spread faith for a better future throughout Winters — one hidden, homemade cross at a time.Totell this story, we need to rewind to 2020 when everybody was isolated within their homes. Depending on the person, they either developed habits or hobbies. Jara chose the latter and quickly developed a fascination with woodworking. More specifically — making small, wooden crosses. Jara’s quality of work wasn’t initially up to his standards, but he got better and began gifting them to friends and family. With adoration and affirmation of his craftsmanship, Jara decided to expand his gift“Aboutgiving.two months after COVID started is when I started leaving the crosses outside. At first I was just giving them to family members and friends, but I felt like I needed to do more. There was a lot of people struggling or going through a hard time, so I just put these out there for people to know that there’s more faith, and to have faith basically,” Jara said. “I’ve gotten so many messages that there’s no way I could put a price on ‘Iedtext-haveplePeo-this.me,was going through a hard time, I was walking and came across your cross and it just motivated me.’ Like, how could I put a price on that?”Todate, Jara has created and hidden around 200 crosses, which means 200 lives have been impacted, and perhaps even more smiles have crossed faces. Needless to say, Jara’s made quite the impact on the town. So much so, in fact, that he’s even acquired the nickname, “The Cross Man.” To Jara, it started out as a joke, but he took a liking to it and it’s now transitioned into the name of his Facebook page. As far as inspiration goes, money has nothing to do with it. Jara, it seems, is just one of those passionate individuals who ceivesgratitudetimeer,timesothersserveswith-outneedorwantofmon-ey.Some-—rath-mostofthe—it’stheonere-inreturn that’s worth more than any monetary value. Quite simply explained by Jara, he felt like he “just had to do Whileit.”the cross is a religious symbol, in no way is Jara trying to impose it upon recipients. Regardless of the symbol or religious affiliation, it’s more of the thought, and the faith in hope that Jara is passing along to whomever may find his“That’scraftwork.the thing, I don’t say, ‘do you want a cross?’ Because I don’t want to force my religion, my belief in any way. You may be with it, or may not, but I don’t want to push that on you,” said Jara, “If you find a cross and like it, you’re more than welcome to take it home. If not, leave it there for somebody else.”According to Jara, it takes him about two days to make a cross. From sanding down the wood to painting Cross Man inspires faith

Nearly a quarter of buyers who purchased a home three years ago would be unable to do so now because they no longer earn the qualifying income to buy a median-priced home today. “Home sales will be down by 13 percent in 2022, according to our latest projection,” Yun added. “With mortgage rates expected to stabilize near 6 percent and steady job creation, home sales should start to rise by early 2023.” June pending home sales breakdownregional The Northeast PHSI slid 6.7 percent compared to last month to 80.9, down 17.6 percent from June 2021.

The Setup at The
Avenue, San
By Rebecca Fridae Special to the Express By now, you’ve figured out that Winters is a wonderful place to be. We live in a lovely region of the Sacramento Valley with sheltering hills to our west, and the delta breezes that come from the Bay to cool us off on hot evenings. We have amazing farmland surrounding us that produces some of the best fruits, nuts, and vegetables in California, not to mention world-class wines. Our older, turn-of-thecentury downtown offers charm as well as great food and the best hardware store around.Butit is the community of people that is our biggest asset. You will find us friendly, helpful, and generous. We come together when others need our help, whether it be a small thing, such as watering the neighbors’ lawn when they are away, or collecting items and cash for victims of the last horrific fire. We help. And that brings me to the reason for this letter. This community has a history of volunteerism, and if you’d like to become a more integral part of our town, there are many avenues to be a part of it. There are many groups and organizations that could use your help. And if you are tech savvy, you are even more needed, as many of these groups are not proficient with media. If sports and games are your passion, you could choose to help coach a soccer team or work with the Little League, or volunteer with the swim team. If you lean toward the arts, there are the wonderful mural painters you could join, or help the newly organized nonprofit, Open Mic, or become involved with the venerated Winters Theatre Company. If you like getting your hands in the dirt, there are two groups to join: The Guerilla Gardeners, who keep the flowers at the post office and pots along the street downtown blooming, or The Library Gardeners, who work with the plants by the library.

If you are interested in more short-term ways to volunteer, there are many events that happen once a year that could use your help. Coming up in September is the Festival de la Comunidad. Other events that could use your help might be Autos for Autism, The Salmon Festival, Youth Day, or the TractorThereParade.areways to volunteer that take a longer commitment but are very fulfilling. These service organizations such as Lions, Rotary, Meals on Wheels, and the Yolo Food Bank really change lives. They are all worthy causes. Then there is my favorite nonprofit, Winters Friends of the

If you have an idea, thought, concern, or opinion, as long as it isn’t libelous or tabloid gossip, he wants to publish it. However, elections are different. Equal time must be offered to all candidates in a race.Inthe spirit of equal time, “A City, if You Can Keep It” will be taking a break starting today. Last week, I filed my papers to run for city council, and the horses are at the starting gate. In the two years I’ve been writing that column, my goal has been to inform, dissect, discuss, and take a different type of look at issues relevant to Winters. Sometimes city council meetings, sometimes county programs (like the Yolo Habitat Conservancy), sometimes state issues, and sometimes actions or statements of elected officials, at all levels. I aimed to always have data or provable facts to support the opinion in each column and to be informative in a way that pure news cannot. My personal measure of if I was on target was simple — If people from both ends of the political spectrum could both agree with some ideas and disagree with others in my columns, then I felt I was avoiding bias as best I could and letting the information and data take me places rather than my preconceived thoughts.Thename of the column is a reference to Benjamin Franklin’s response to a group of citizens outside the constitutional convention who asked what sort of government they had created. Franklin’s response was, “A republic, if you can keepTheit.”reasoning behind his statement was that simply penning a government into existence does not mean it is everlasting or without need of safeguarding and upkeep. The same goes for Winters, and so the column was named thusly thanks to the historical inspiration provided by my wife. Winters is a place that needs attention from us all. We could be content to let it sit and grow to the desires of outside interested parties, or allow it to be controlled by people with an agenda that suits them. And the city would still exist, but would it be Winters?The people who live here make Winters, even though they sometimes forget that.

Considering chiropractic care for babies

As interest rates go up, you get less of a home, or move to a more affordable area, like Mississippi.So,make your guess as to when Winters will go a month without a new home being sold. I’ll give you a hint of how bad things can get. One year, maybe 15 years ago, the biggest home builders in Winters were the Fridaes when they built a new home for themselves. The next year the biggest home builders were the Cowans, who also built a home for themselves. There was a 20-year span when we didn’t build a dozen new homes, total and our school Streetsionmemory.inging30decreasedpopulationbyalmostpercent.Weareallwitness-thelargesthous-boominrecentTheexpan-ofEastMainaddedseveral hundred homes, but nothing like what is happening to West Main Street.

So grab your pencil and make a guess when no new homes will be sold, month and year. Send it to Charley Wallace, 13 Russell Street, Winters, CA 95694.

Dr. James Stirton from Winters Family Chiropractic breaks down chiropractic care for babies and the benefits that come with it. Stirton — a master of metaphors — equates newborns’ experience to the foam pets that grow once one adds water to them. They’re tightly compressed for months until birth finally allows babies’ spines and limbs to ‘unpack’ and expand a little.“Onaverage, it takes about seven years for our cartilaginous parts to turn into the bone they’re supposed to be. So, the reason why we can pack those little babies so tight in the womb and they’re OK is that a lot of their parts are cartilaginous. And that’s why in those first seven years kids will bounce instead of break,” Stirton explained. “Initially, the bones are all well-formed. And that little spine of babies is strengthening and solidifying over time. My role in taking care of those kiddos is to get that boney, cartilaginous frame to unbox and straighten out in an appropriate fortrainedThenandpushed,whiplashed,theydaybabies’hismusclessomebaby’sStirtonlowershoulderneck,seenpatients,someproperdisruptareintochildrenUnfortunately,way.”whenaregrowingthemselves,thereforcesthatcantheirspine’sformation.InofhisyoungerStirtonhasissuesintheirbetweentheirbladesandbackaswell.claimsthatalowerbackhasofthetightesthe’sfoundinpractice.“Basically,onafirstbirth-ontheplanetgetcompressed,pulled,spankedputinacrib.theydon’tseeachiropractoralongtimeafter that, and I feel like a lot of the sources of our neck and back problems start as early as birth,” said Stirton. “This is why I check my patients’ babies as soon as possible so that those areas get fine-tuned back to where they need to be and they can heal from day one with great integrity. I find in general if we can get our bodies to heal out of the gate, that it’s a strong, good heal. I don’t want these babies growing up with shoulder dislocations, and their neck out and their back tighter than a drum because that area will solidify and become a chronic problem from infancy. That’s something we can avoid with a little checkup.”Littleones don’t require the same extent of ing.requireadjustmentschiropracticadultstobeginheal-Stirtonalsoteaches his parent-patients how to properly massage their baby to keep their back muscles loose and fussiness at a minimum. “The most common ailment to happen to kiddos are slips, falls, bumps, bruises and all the muscular-skeletal wear and tear you can think of. That, of course, is a chiropractic specialty,” said Stirton. “Because the problem in kids is so new and hasn’t had a chance to deform and degenerate and all these things I see in my adult patients. So what I also see in those areas that are dysfunctional after two or three adjustments, they’re gone and improved to a state where I don’t need to adjust the same spot like I do in my adult counterparts.”Stirtonisn’t just talk, however, when it comes to keeping his younger patients healthy. Parents under his care can sponsor one of their own children (under the age of 10) for free treatment along with their own care at the same frequency they’re coming in.

HOURS:
QUICK Continued from Page 1 the cross and gluing finishing touches together, the Cross Man creates about six crosses to hide per week. This all on top of a career that requires a 3 a.m. wakeup call. Of course, making this passion project allthe-sweeter is the fact that most of Jara’s materials are donated. Monetary donations, however, are not what Jara asks for from the community.“It’spretty amazing, just walking around town people recognize him. People will stop and say ‘hi,’ and him just being, ‘the Cross Man’ makes conversation,” said Jara’s wife Sylvia. “That’s what I love about Winters is people aren’t afraid to stop and talk to you. Whereas, if you go to another town they may not. They might walk right past you.” Since Jara began his project, he’s been showered with affirmation and gratitude for his efforts. From social posts to hand-written letters, Winters is beyond proud of its Cross Man and the hope he inspires.“When I found my cross it was at a time that I needed a reminder of God’s grace and his love for us all,” said Alison Hapworth-Eldridge after finding one of Jara’s crosses in front of Steady Eddy’s Coffee House. “Thank you Jose, for your kind generosity to our little community of Winters. The Cross Man really seems to know when and where to place his gifts of his incredible handmade symbols of faith.”Tokeep in touch with the Cross Man, follow him on Facebook by searching “The cross man.” And if one is lucky enough to stumble upon one of Jara’s creations, you’ll know it’s his because the following message will be attached to the cross:“God has a purpose for your pain. A reason for your struggle and a reward for your Faithfulness. Trust in him and never give up! Amen! You may take me home free if you promise to give me a good home!”
Library, that you can join to support programs at our library and cultural events. We sell fruit trees, host summer concerts, participate in the Youth Day Parade, and sponsor “Books for Babies,” to mention a few. Stop me on the street sometime and I’ll tell you more about it. I’m sure I’ve missed dozens of groups that would love for you to become a part of their team.Keeping Winters the charming place it is with all the fun activities and events it offers takes work. All these groups could use volunteers and each group is a great way for you to meet new people and become part of the heart of our community. I hope you will consider it.
