The billalso helps to providesafe, affordable, and reliabletransportationfor agricultural workersin California’s ruralcounties.Under existing law,counties with a populationunder 500,000 as ofthe 1970 census can uselocal transportationfunds for local streetsand roads, so long as thecounty has no unmettransit needs.

I like theGrant Avenue widening project, but Ihope it is only the beginning. I’d like tosee a medium strip all the way to the overpass.The turn lanes are nice, but wouldn’t it be niceto see a row of trees hanging over the roadwhen you come into town. If we are going tojust have blacktop, we’re wasting our moneyfixing up the rest of the community.I haven’t seen plans for a hotel and restaurantsat the intersection, but city staff shouldconsider an interpretive farm center as part ofthe development. We could use the apricot andpeach trees the hotel and restaurants woulduse to shade their parking lots as an activefarming operation. There are plenty of old,and I mean old, farmers around that could usesomething to do now that they have retired.They could show people how to prune, andsome of us could learn the right way and notbutcher our trees. When people in the communitywould see a bunch of old guys out therespraying, we could then rush home to sprayour fruit trees. They could explain when andwhy they spray. I’m sure there would be a fewpeople who would want to go organic, and ifthe farmers could get people to eat organic itmight catch on. When it came time to harvest,the community could get together and pick thefruit, maybe even a few tourists would volunteerto help out.Can’t you just see a bunch of city peoplelearning to can fruit. I’d like to see peoplepassing through town stop and help cut apricotsfor an hour or two. I’m not sure how thedry yard would work, but the sulfur housewould have to be back from the hotel. As a kid,I had a bad reaction when they would burn thesulfur. It is kind of like being underwater andnot being able to breath. I’m sure the city’s liabilitycompany wouldn’t have any problemwith lighting a little sulfur from time to time.As we get closer and closer to developing thefreeway interchange, and it will be developed,we should pay close attention to what happensto our gateway to Winters. People have statedin the past that they don’t want Winters to beanother Williams, or heaven forbid, Dixon, butwe may only have one chance at getting thisright.If you have an idea of what the entrances toWinters should look like, watch the Expressfor meeting dates. This may take a few years,but keep on reading the Express anyway. TheSouth entrance is pretty much set, with a newbridge and creek renovation. The North entranceis like a blank canvas. We should beable to paint a picture we will be proud of. TheWest entrance is almost cast in stone andGrant Avenue narrows and housing lines theroad.The infrastructure for the East entrance isbeing built as we speak. Water and sewer lineswill be followed by new roads, building padsand expanded city services. What followsshould be a concern to all of us.I vote for a Taco Bell, with apricot trees inthe parking lot, of course.Have a good week.If a tree falls on P Street, do we have to hear about it?At long last, rain. Andit didn’t just fall, itpoured. Last week’storm was magnificentand I was as excited asanyone to see the longdry summer finally giveay to autumn. But notearly as excited as theCRA 3 morning newsrew.I’ve been a faithfulCRA viewer ever sinceoutgrew Cap’n Deltafive points to anyoneho gets that refernce),but it’s the mornngnews crew that Iatch most.

Butshould a lonely raindropsplatter to thesidewalk, the weatherteam goes orgasmic.If an actual storm hits,as did last week — scrapthe news, it’s all weather,all the time, despitethe fact that the lovelyand talented DierdreFitzpatrick noted thatthe weather reports areavailable 24-7 on theKCRA website. Soooo…do we really need a nonstopweather hour, interspersedonly withtraffic updates? Couldwe let, say, 15 minutes goby before trotting poorlittle Eileen Javora outyet again with nothingelse to report other than“It’s still raining”?True, last week’sstorm was a whopper —trees toppled, guttersflooded, power sputtered— but a treefalling down in a rainstorm in these parts isn’texactly novel. Do wereally need live coverageof a fallen tree?They’re pretty boring.They just lie there. Now,if it fell on a power lineand ignited a fireballwe can see from Davis,that’s news! An averageold tree toppling overon an average old midtownSacramentostreet? Not so much.KCRA, do you think peoplein Woodland care ifan elm tree fell down onP Street? (Hint: No.)Speaking of the liveweather shots – youknow the compulsorystory from the soakedand shivering reporterstanding in the rain toshow us that, yes indeedy,it’s raining? Juststop it. Seriously. We reallydon’t need to seesome waterlogged gal ina rain slicker to understandthat it’s rainingand if we go outside,we’ll get really, reallywet. We can look out thewindow and figure thatout ourselves, and if wecan’t, we shouldn’t beallowed outside unsupervisedanywayThose live weathershots invariably includecornering somepoor schmoe at a gas stationat 4 a.m., and thenthe intrepid weather reportershoves a microphonein his face to askthe really tough questions:“Are you gettingwet?”“Yup,” says Schmoe.“What do you thinkabout all the rain?”“It’s… wet?”“And how do you likewetness?”“Ummm… Will you goaway now?”They always edit thatlast part out. If they reallywant to entertainviewers, they should airall the outtakes of peoplechasing off the spotreporters.The Big Dog of all therainfall reporters, however,is Brian Hickey.When the weather turnsnasty, and snow startsfalling, KCRA sendsHickey to Blue Canyonto jump around in asnowbank so we knowthat if we go up there,we’ll get really, reallycold. But that’s not theworst of it: they leavehim up there in a snowcave all winter, warmedonly by a string ofChristmas lights.Brian! Dude!

Get out of therewhile you still can, beforethey have youwrestling pit bulls forpork chops! And youknow they’re filming thewhole thing! Sickfreaks.You read it here first.KCRA has it in for BrianHickey. On the otherhand, if Hickey’s danglingfrom the Cal Expowater tower and thebungee cord snaps, themorning news will be alot more interestingthan discovering that ifI go outside in Susanville,I’ll get really,really wet. Do I evenknow where Susanvilleis? Do I care?People, the KCRAweather team is out ofcontrol. Clearly, it’s interventiontime. Theyhave a Weather Plusteam (some mornings, ittakes more than oneperson to convey thatit’s really, really wetoutside), a SevereWeather Center (read: adesk and a TV over inthe corner of the soundstage) and TripleDoppler Radar (just incase a raindrop falls insweeps are pointed theother way and God forbidwe miss it). Thenthere’s the network ofWeather Watchers, Ibeg you: Stop feedingthe addiction! Yes, youmean well and you’retrying to be helpful, butyou’re enablers. You’rehelping them stay sick.Stop the insanity. Don’tburp and ripple on thethermostat to the KCRAmercy on them, and thedown here in Yolo County?We don’t really givea rip if folks in Quincyare gonna get really, reallycold.

B-4 — Winters (CA) Express, Thursday, October 22, 2009Interstitial cystitiscauses bladder painDEAR DR. DONOHUE: Iam writing to ask if youwould give me informationon interstitial cystitis.I was told I had thisafter I had a polyp removedfrom my bladder.I know it has to do withthe lining of the bladderwall. What causes it?What’s the treatment?Does it get worse? — J.M.ANSWER: Interstitialcystitis is also known aspainful bladder syndrome.It’s a fairly commoncondition that iscommonly misdiagnosed.It affects morewomen than men. It occursat any age, but typically,the onset is aroundage 40.Frequently, a womanhas symptoms for yearsand years and is told shehas repeated bladder infections.Antibiotics,however, provide no relief.Trips to the bathroomare numerous, andnighttime urination disruptssleep. Bladderpain can be severe. Urinationoften relieves thepain temporarily. Intercoursealso can bepainful.One explanation saysthe protective coveringof the bladder lining hasthinned or has disappeared,and urine irritantscome in contactwith the sensitive bladderlining to producepain. How this comesabout is something thatisn’t known with certainty.Symptoms can getworse, but treatmentsexist. One is the oralmedicine Elmiron.Amitriptyline andgabapentin are alsoused for pain control.If you find that a particularfood causes increasedpain, stay awayfrom it. Spicy foods, citrusfruits and juices,tomatoes, chocolate, coffee,tea, carbonateddrinks and alcohol aresome things on the list ofirritants for many withthis problem.If you feel lost aboutthe diagnosis and itstreatment, contact theInterstitial Cystitis Association(800-435-7422;www.ichelp.org) for informationon treatmentand support for this mystifyingailment that cancompletely throw lifeinto turmoil.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE:My doctor prescribedniacin to lower my cholesterol.After a monthand a half, I developedshingles. Could niacinhave caused this? — J.ANSWER: I can assureyou, without equivocation,that niacin did notcause your shingles.Shingles comes from thechickenpox virus thatstays in the body fromthe time of its entranceuntil the time of that person’sdeath. Mostly atolder ages, the virusleaves the nerve cell itfound a home in, travelsdown the nerve root tothe skin and producesthe typical shingles rashand pain.Older people shouldconsider getting theshingles vaccine.Shingles is a painfulexperience, and the paincan last long after therash has gone. The shinglesbooklet explainsthis common problemand how it’s treated. Toobtain a copy, write: Dr.Donohue — No. 1201W,Box 536475, Orlando, FL32853-6475. Enclose acheck or money order(no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6Canada with the recipient’sprinted name andaddress. Please allowfour weeks for delivery.***DEAR DR. DONOHUE:Do you consider toetouchesa good flexibilityexercise? — L.F.ANSWER: They don’t doa whole lot for me. Youcan stretch leg musclesin other ways that areeasier on joints and onthe back.***Dr. Donohue regrets thathe is unable to answerindividual letters, but hewill incorporate them inhis column wheneverpossible. Readers maywrite him or request anorder form of availablehealth newsletters atP.O. Box 536475, Orlando,FL 32853-6475.(c) 2009 North AmericaSynd., Inc.All Rights ReservedFeaturesNature vs. Nurture finally answeredWhat is the definitiveanswer to the debatewaged over whether ornot the relative importanceof a person’s innatequalities is moreimportant than personalexperiences; or which ismore important, natureor nurture?In order to answer thequestion, one must lookat the two main arguments:that man is ablank slate, or that manis hard wired to act a certainway. In argument A,the tabula rasa, man is ablank slate to be writtenupon by society, in theother, he has certainhard-wired qualitiesthat drive him. Respectfully,each argument isseriously flawed.First, whatever qualitiesof man are hardwired, these are differentfrom person to person.Unlike dogs that areselectively bred tochase, race or hunt, humanshave selection,and therefore have a varietyof qualities. Secondly,the argument ofman being a blank slate,just begs the questionabout gender; basing theargument on the empoweredgender will not answerthe question.Consider this: onedoes not need to speak ofI.Q. testing, because thetest itself can be biased.One does not need tospeak of twins separatedand raised within thesame society, becausedifferences won’t bethat great within the society.What one mustlook to is the treatmentof women by society, invarious societies.What has a greater influenceon a woman’slife is how society viewsher. In my society, mydaughters are expectedto attend four-year universities,get advanceddegrees, and live freeand fulfilling lives. Butthat is not true of theircounterparts raised incountries that deny educationto girls, countriesthat cut the clitoris outof women, along with theinner and outer labia, orcultures that disallowbasic human rights.It is not true of theircounterparts that are arrestedfor wearingpants, lipstick or for notcovering their heads. Itis not true for the sistersthat must perform sexualacts because theyhave been traded for afew goats and are consideredproperty.Nature versus nurtureis really just a garnish onthe side-table of whitesociety, when it only considersthe advantages ofmen.If one of my owndaughter were askedthis question, she wouldsay, “Really, really, youhave to ask this?” Andshe would look down atme, squinting, and explain:“The boys at myschool can crash hel-mets into others and geta college scholarship,but I can’t. Children inother countries haveamputations of theirgenitals and their opportunities.Really,mom? It isn’t obvious toyou? Really?”And I would be embarrassedthat my own cultureis blind to the overarching,castrating effectsof nurture. I wouldbe humbled by herstrength.You know the song, “Itdon’t mean a thing if itain’t got that …” Well,how a person is hardwired doesn’t mean athing, if she is intellectuallylobotomized by a societythat won’t allowher education; if she isamputated and mutilatedby a society that won’tallow her to have the fullcapacity of life, libertyand the pursuit of joy;yet it doesn’t mean athing in the nature argumentif she is treatedlike a farm animal andphysically abused if shetries to shirk that limitation.Science can self-comfortwith small movementsover the argumentof man’s I.Q., versusman’s opportunity,but in order to deftly answerthe question, onemust look to the treatmentof women.Pleasedto meet youName: Tom GeorgeOccupation: Produceclerk for Raleyʼs.Hobby: Football, baseballand movies.Whatʼs best about livingin Winters: Itʼs SmallTown, USA.Fun fact:He has been playing theWinters Express FootballContest for more than 40years.ARIES (March 21 to April19) Lots of choices couldmake it difficult to selectwhatisbestforyourneeds.Avoid snap judgments.Take the time to checkthemallouttofindtheonethat really meets yourgoals.TAURUS(April20toMay20) You could once againexperiencepressurefromothers who would like toseeyoumoveinanotherdirection.But heed yourBovine instincts to stay onyourownpath.GEMINI (May 21 to June20)Takingchargeofaprojectthatseemstobeabouttostallorcollapsealtogethercould be a challenge.But once everyone knowswhat you expect of him orher, things should gosmoothly.CANCER (June 21 to July22) Avoid the pressures ofthe upcoming holiday periodbysettingatimerightnow to discuss how to divideup the responsibilityof helping a loved onecome through a difficultperiod.LEO (July 23 to August 22)It’snottooearlyforallyouLeonas and Leos to startmakinglong-distancetravelplans.

Winters (CA) Express,Thursday, October 22, 2009 —B-5NuestrasNoticiasLa simple felicidadLa búsqueda de la felicidad es tan vieja comoel hombre. El ser humano no importa su categoríao condición busca por encima de todo serfeliz o al menos, vivir un momento feliz. Un momento,porque la existencia ha comprobado,que la felicidad es momentánea y pasajera, esdecir, no es por siempre aunque así la quieranvender algunos comerciantes.Desde los viejos tiempos se ha filosofado sobreel encuentro de la felicidad. Unos la hanquerido buscar en la profundidad del si mismo:“Conócete a ti mismo.” En el encuentro contigomismo descubrirás lo que eres y entonces serásfeliz. Las filosofías orientales también hurgaronen la contemplación del si mismo comocamino de la felicidad.Cientos de páginas y de tratados se han dedicadoa dar recetas de cómo encontrar la felicidad.Sin embargo, no son pocos los que han llegadoa la conclusión, de que el encuentro de lafelicidad está en descifrar los momentos máscomunes por no decir insignificantes de lavida.A continuación les ofrezco algunas sugerenciaspara su consideración en la búsqueda de lafelicidad. Se trata de consejos simples y quefueron concebidos por un padre al despedir asu hijo que se marchaba a la universidad.En estas sugerencias o consejos descubrimosque la felicidad esta aquí en las cosas mas simples,y no en las complejidades del diario vivir.El padre le decía a su hijo lo siguiente.Observa el amanecer por lo menos una vez alaño. Estrecha la mano con firmeza y mira a lagente de frente a los ojos. Ten un buen equipode música. Elige a un socio de la misma maneraque elegirías a un compañero de tenis: buscaque sea fuerte donde tú eres débil y viceversa.Desconfía de los fanfarrones: nadie alardeade lo que le sobra. Recuerda los cumpleaños dela gente que te importa. Evita a las personasnegativas. Nunca existe una segunda oportunidadpara causar una buena impresión. Nuncahagas comentarios sobre el peso de una persona,ni le digas a alguien que está perdiendo elpelo. Ya lo sabe.Recuerda que se logra más de las personaspor medio del estímulo que del reproche. Anímatea presentarte a alguien que te cae biensimplemente con una sonrisa y diciendo: Minombre es fulano de tal; todavía no nos hanpresentado. Nunca amenaces si no estás dispuestoa cumplir. Muestra respeto extra por laspersonas que hacen el trabajo más pesado. Hazlo que sea correcto, sin importar lo que otrospiensen. Dale una mano a tu hijo cada vez quetengas la oportunidad. Llegará el momento enque ya no te dejará hacerloAprende a mirar a la gente desde sus zapatosy no desde los tuyos. Ubica tus pretensiones enel marco de tus posibilidades. Recuerda elviejo proverbio: Sin deudas, sin peligro. No haynada más difícil que responder a las preguntasde los necios. Aprende a compartir con losdemás y descubre la alegría de ser útil a tuprójimo. (El que no vive para servir, no sirvepara vivir)Acude a tus compromisos a tiempo. La puntualidades el respeto por el tiempo ajeno. Confíaen Dios, pero cierra tu auto con llave. Recuerdaque el gran amor y el gran desafío incluyen también“el gran riesgo”. Nunca confunda riquezacon éxito. No pierda nunca el sentido del humory aprende a reírte de tus propios defectos.No esperes que otro sepa lo que quieres si no lodices. Aunque tenga una posición holgada, hazque tus hijos paguen parte de sus estudiosHaz dos copias de las fotos que saques y envíalasa las personas que aparezcan en las fotos.No olvide que el silencio es a veces la mejorrespuesta. No deseche una buena idea porqueno te gusta de quien viene. No confunda confortcon felicidad. Escucha el doble de lo quehablas (por eso Dios nos dio dos oídos y una solaboca)Aprende a distinguir quiénes son tus amigosy quiénes son tus enemigos. Nunca envidies: laenvidia es el homenaje que la mediocridad lerinde al talento. Recuerda que la felicidad noes una meta sino un camino: disfruta mientraslo recorre. Si no quieres sentirte frustrado, note pongas metas imposibles. La gente más felizno necesariamente tiene lo mejor de todo. Simplementedisfrute al máximo de todo lo queDios pone en su camino. Y Aunque usted no locrea, la felicidad está escondida en las cosassimples de la vida.¿Porque ayudar ala fundación para laeducación de Winters?La fundación parala educación en Winterses una organizaciónno lucrativa, endonde las personasque la forman son voluntarioscon unavisión, recaudar fondosy entregarlos a lasescuelas, para ayudarque todos los niñostengan una educaciónde calidad.
