Nathan Vigil
Nathan Vigil, a senior at Winters High School, is the Pisani’s Athlete of the Week. Vigil has been competing on the WHS Cross County team his entire high school career. “Nathan has been a leader on the team demonstrating how steady consistent work pays off,” said coach William Davis. “This year he ran the three mile Vacaville Lagoon Valley Classic race six minutes faster than last year.”
On Friday, Sept. 9, the Winters High School varsity football team won its first home game of the season against Rio Vista High School by a score of 61-8. While the first home game of the year is always welcomed with open arms this game in particular demonstrated what it looks like for a community to come together when it matters the most. Family, friends and community members filled the stands to honor, pay tribute and celebrate the lives that were lost this past year.
“It was a special night for our kids, our community and for all of the families involved in the tragedies that have rocked our little town this past year. The ‘White Out’ theme, balloon release and honorary captains made Friday night’s game one of the most emotional and memorable games that I have been a part of,” said head coach Daniel Ward.

Last week’s heat was more than intense, compounded by a broken swamp cooler in the gym. Thursday’s game against Willows has been rescheduled.

Nutrition Services Director Cathy Olsen informed the board of increased adult meal prices based on the United States Depart ment of Agriculture (USDA) non-pricing meal program man dates coupled with shortage and demand. According to Olsen, adult meal payments must be sufficient to cover the overall cost of the meal, including the value of any USDA entitlement.Intheend,the cost of an adult lunch is now $4.75, up 50 cents from $4.50. Based on the mandated minimum raise of $4.71, Green said the half-dollar increase is realistic and logical. Before ap proving the increase, Board Clerk Joedy Michael questioned how many adult meals were served during the last fiscal school year. Olsen said the to tal of 417 equals a few sold every school day.
The first vote of ap proval allows Vanes sa Vasquez, a Winters preschool teacher, to serve as a multiple subject teacher at Waggoner Elementa ry. To do so, Vasquez must have a provision al internship permit, which allows some one to teach while they prepare for an in ternship program, ac cording to Human Re sources Director Lisa Dennis. Vasquez was approved based on her degree, relevant experience, qualify ing coursework, and commitment to enter an internship pro gram in August 2023.

This is a new professional golf tour funded by the Saudi Arabian government and managed by golf legend Greg Norman. They have paid huge amounts for golfers to leave the established golf association, PGA. Ken, who isn’t shy about voicing his opinions, said that it was blood money and mentioned the killing of journalist Khashog gi at the hands of Sau di agents.

Winters’ future is in your hands
It has been 21 years since we were at tacked on Sept. 11, 2001. I don’t know why, but I watch the televi sion specials every anniversary of the ter rorists attacks on U.S. soil. I read the Sacra mento Bee and watch 60 Minutes’ features about those that lost their lives that day. It adds to my definition ofNow,heroes.there is an other reason for me to remember 9/11. My friend, Randy Fiser, who I wrote about a month or so ago, got a new heart on Sun day. So far, so good, according to his wife. I would rather cele brate his new heart than remember the planes hitting the twin towers in New York City. Keep him in your prayers.After playing a round of golf last week, I went to pick up some paper supplies

money do you need? He finished our con versation by saying he couldn’t live with him self if he took the mon ey. I’m sure we could all use the money, but he is right about being able to sleep at night with a clear con science.Ofthe 19 hijackers in the September 11 attacks, 15 were from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates, one from Lebanon and one from Egypt. I don’t un derstand why we sup port the Saudis when we have enough oil in the United States to be self-sufficient. I’m not seeing much of a difference between the golfers that took the LIV money and our congressmen that won’t challenge the Saudis on 9/11 or for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.Takeabreath and think happy thoughts.

September as World Alzhei mer’s Month, a global event of recognition. ADI is the col laborative organization of over 100-global Alzheimer’s institutes. And, starting in 1994, the first annual “Day” of dedication was established as Sept. 21, and, this year that date is Wednesday, Sept. 21. The month of September was chosen to raise awareness and confront ignorance bordering Alzheimer’s.Unfortunately, there still ex ists poor understanding and uneducated stigmatization about Alzheimer’s, so the in tended work of World Alzhei mer’s Month is vital, growing, and symbolizes shame, a lack of understanding, and an ab sence of knowledge surround ing Alzheimer’s disease as well as supporting those individu als and families who suffer.

Although there are other programs that help seniors, this one meets needs that typi cally aren’t met. Often, people assume seniors are taken care of by relatives or the state when in reality they’re sitting at home, alone — without the basics of life. To Ripley, it’s im perative that a commu nity is not only aware of who these people are, but their needs as well.
Al’s mother was of German heritage and was born there during a family visit. Al re calls that when he was in the 7th grade, he and his mother stud ied the constitution together as his mother sought, and became, a naturalized citizen.

And that’s one of the nice things about having a small town: it’s pretty per sonal and people know what’s going on. We get all the recommen dations and choose the recipients,” said Ripley. “I helped my husband deliver last year and it was won derful! It’s such a great experience. We had all Spanish speakers we were delivering to, and my Spanish is very rudimentary, but their smiles said it all.

In the Fall of 1974, Doctors diagnosed my grandmother as “senile.” Born in 1889, she lived through copious catastro phes: WW1, the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, the Great De pression, the attack on Pearl Harbor and WW2, the Korean War, and more. But Alzhei mer’s overwhelming grasp assaulted my grandmother’s aging body vigorously, forcing undue sorrow, burden, and a gradual systematic death with spiraling malignancy that qui etly took control.

While in highschool, Al took a me chanical drawing clas. His teacher saw that Al had a natural drawing ability and encouraged Al to be come an architect.

ootball season is back and my taste buds are in the red zone looking to score something delicious to scarf on Sundays. Luckily, my stomach led the way to the Pizza Factory and I got my hands on some BBQ chicken wings that I can’t help but label as this week’s Flavor Fave! While chicken wings these days seem to be low on flavor but high on prices, these BBQ morsels from the Factory flip this notion on its head. I hut, hut, hike each and every wing into my gullet, but not before drowning them in the savory nectar known as ranch dressing. (Of course, the Factory is gracious enough
On Sunday, I came home after a week-long extended stay at the Vacaville Kaiser hospital. What started off as abdominal pain following ingesting triggering foods turned into chronic pain. Two Emergency Room visits later, it turned into the removal of a lone stone leftover from my 2017 gallbladder removal.While there I embarked on a foodie nightmare of not being able to ingest anything then only being able to have clear liquids and hospital gelatin. After the stone was removed, I was able to begin eating solids again — what I was able to eat (nothing spicy or heavy) was not something I’d go out of my way to write a review on.

I’m a bit of a risk taker, and I figured that if my stomach was not ready for it, the rest of my family would happily eat the rest of it for me. So far, so good. The only thing missing is the hot chili oil concoction that is usually served alongside every meal. But I’m fairly certain that option is on my “Do Not Eat” list for a while.
Crystal flavors of wonton soup are

Strands of carrots, bamboo and cabbage mixed in with the light flavor of the thick strands of noodles is my idea of what I could eat all day, everyTheday.sesame chicken was probably a little too bold of an order, but I have yet to regret it. I chose it because the sauce is on the sweeter side. Plus, it is served with some broccoli which is one of my favorite vegetables.

Spice, spicy, acidic and nacho cheese are currently not my friends. My foodie adventures will indeed have to be thoughtfully selected going forward. I already miss the tacos.
When my family members are not feeling well, my “go-to” move is to cook up a pot of garlic ginger chicken noodle soup. The old wives’ tale has labeled chicken noodle soup as the immunity-boosting cure-all, and recipes have been passed from generation to generation to fight off ailments.However, when I’m the one who isn’t feeling well, cooking anything is the last thing I want to do.
