The Vikings have had a difficult time this year, losing their first 4 games. The Vikings came out to the field fired up with a lot of hooting and hollering, winning the toss and choosing to let Southwest start off with the ball. But their fire was quickly put out as Southwest took just three plays to put some points on the board. The Vikings took possession of the ball on their 20 but were held there. The Vikings just couldn't seem to get the momentum going, even as Anthony Castro hit Jacob Alvarez in the end zone with a 20 yard pass only to have the ball pop out of Alvarez's hands as he hit the ground. The Vikings were able to keep the score to 14-0 at the half, after Southwest missed a 3-pointer with just 1.58 on the clock. Holtville looked to come back strong in the second half, but that was short lived. They lost the ball on a fumble on their second play of the second half. Within the first few minutes in the second Southwest added 2 more TD's taking the score to 28-0. Holtville's Brice Bolin was the only Viking to make it into the end zone as the Southwest Eagles walloped the host Holtville Vikings football team by a final score of 42-6 in Friday's nonleague outing. With the win, Southwest improves its record to 4-0 on the season. The Eagles travel to Yuma (Yuma, AZ) to confront the Criminals in a non-league outing on Friday, September 25.

The Calexico City Council decided to put Richard Warne on administrative leave last week in a move that made California JPIA raise red flags once again. Back in May, the Joint Powers Insurance Authority held a meeting and made a motion to approve a notice of termination and intent to cancel membership of the City of Calexico as of July 1, 2015. The motion was going to be rescinded if the council hired Richard Warne as their permanent City Manager. The Authority staff stated back in May that the City Council, acting as a whole, had lost sight of the importance of risk management within the organization, it has been inconsistent in its commitment to the goals and objectives of the Performance Improvement Plan, and it has taken actions that are detrimental to the City of Calexico. The council hired Richard Warne as their permanent city manager and the motion to take away the insurance was rescinded. Mayor Joong Kim notified JPIA and then a letter was sent to the members of the City Council letting them know that the Authority would analyze Calexico's situation. Jonathan Shull, CEO of JPIA, said that Warne's suspension caused con- HOROSCOPES: cern with the Authority in maintaining stability with the city manager position. "The Performance Improvement Plan under which the city has been operating for the last two years was extended primarily as a result of the City Council reaching an agreement with Mr. Warne as its permanent city manager." Shull said. "The action taken on Tuesday, merely three months subsequent to agreeing to the employment contract, calls into question the City Council's commitment to stability and its good faith interest in partnering with the Authority." Shull said that the Executive Committee will consider Calexico's continued participation in the Authority's protection program at their October 28th SEPT. 27 - OCTOBER 3, 2015 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 You are extra motivated to explore new opportunities this week, Aries.

"In the meantime, I hope that the City and your acting city manager demonstrate a commitment to good governance and sound risk management." Shull stated in the letter. Mayor Joong Kim told the Calexico Chronicle last week that he is confident that JPIA will stay with the city since they already paid their year membership as of July 1st. Kim added that if JPIA decided not the stay with them, he and Councilman Armando Real already have spoken to several carriers that would be interested in covering Calexico. "We need to have an insurance that gives us freedom and not tell us what employees we need to keep or not." Kim stated.

A press conference was called Monday afternoon by Mayor Joong Kim to announce actions by the council and Acting City Manager Nick Fenley. Kim said that Fenley has his full support and the majority of the council. "Mr. Fenley has the full support the Mayor and the majority of the council." Kim said, "He will continue working to stabi- lize, with JPIA on city insurance, and the hiring of a permanent finance director." Kim said the city will continue with the completion of the audited financials, conduct an audit of the city Finance Department, including water rate billing, and the reorganization of the city departments and staff as needed. Acting City Manager Fenley announced that effective immediately, Eduardo Gutierrez has been appointed the interim finance director. Fenley said that Gutierrez is an experienced Finance Department employee who will direct the department in the day to day operations. "This is an important factor as we found out how we stand financially." Fenley said and added that they will make a more detailed audit of the city's finances of all the departments to see how the city's finances are really doing. In regards of the JPIA letter stating that they will review the city's continuation on their insurance coverage, Mayor Kim said he spoke to JPIA and said their main concern is stabilizing the city and said JPIA is willing to help them in case they drop the insurance. "They said they are willing to help us and keep our insurance." Kim said. Fenley added that the JPIA Executive Board would meet on October 28 and the plan is for him and some members of the council to give them background information about the situation. Kim said they have been talking to other insurance companies such as CSAC Excess Insurance Authority as one of the possible carriers if JPIA decides to discon- tinue the city. Mayor Kim also spoke about the possible arrival of a garment industry group who is interested in relocating to the City of Calexico. Kim said this project would bring tens of thousands of jobs but did not say what location the company is looking to be at. "This is something that will impact the workforce of the entire Imperial Valley and will also benefit Mexicali." Kim said. Professional Wrestling Returns To Brawley’s Lions Center By Chris Furguson When most people think of “professional wrestling,” they usually imagine the big productions of the World Wrestling Entertainment company, with larger than life characters, fireworks, lights and music in a large ring. While the WWE is the pinnacle of pro wrestling in the United States, wrestling also comes in the form of smaller “independ- ent” federations with wrestlers of the expected and The Lions Center in Brawley played host to one of these smaller groups on Saturday, September 19 when the Knokx Pro Entertainment arrived for an evening of wrestling action. The evening began with a preshow where the wrestlers with characters, or “gimmicks,” like “Cowboy Sam” and “Primal” met with fans and interested WHILE NOT USUALLY permitted in “normal” matches, chairs and other weapons are legal in “hardcore” bouts. spectators. Additionally, WWE Hall of Fame alumni Rikishi Fatu, was also on hand to meet fans, take photos and sign autographs for a fee. The evening’s matches included an intergender match (a match between male and female wrestlers) for the “European Cruiserweight” title, a hardcore match where weapons are permitted, among several others. Rikishi also made an in-ring appearance at the end of the evening to close the show. While not at the level of a WWE show, local fans of professional wrestling seemed to enjoy themselves. “These guys put on a good show,” said one enthusiastic fan. “I hope they keep coming back.” Knokx Pro Entertainment, based in Sun Valley, California, also has a training school that offers programs for beginning and advanced wrestlers, referees, managers and commentators. In addition to Rikishi, trainers at the wrestling school include David “Gangrel” Heath, another former WWE superstar. Current WWE superstar “Rusev” is listed as one of Knokx Pro Entertainment’s students. More information about Knokx Pro Entertainment can be found at knokxpro.com The City of Brawley has also hosted Lucha Libre wrestling at their “Take Back Main Street” street fair events in previous years.

Heidi Kappeler Named Brawley Teacher Of The Year At Annual Dinner By Chris Furguson On the evening of September 17, 2015, the Brawley Chamber of Commerce celebrated the educators within the north county city with a special “Welcome Back Teachers” dinner at the Stockmen’s Club. In addition to a free dinner for the first 100 teachers who arrived, the event also featured a massive raffle of several dozen prizes of school-related gifts and supplies. At the climax of the evening, Heidi Kappeler, a teacher from Myron D. Witter Elementary School, was named the Brawley Chamber of Commerce’s “Teacher of the Year.” Kappeler, who teaches first grade at Witter Elementary, was also named the school’s teacher of the year as well. Kappeler was presented with the Chamber’s award, a red crystal apple, by ICOE Superintendent Todd Finnell, Brawley Elementary Superintendent Ron Garcia and acting Brawley Union High School Superintendent Simon Canalez. All three were part of the selection committee. In addition to the red crystal apple, Kappeler also received a $500 gift from the Brawley Kiwanis Club and a gift from Sea World in San Diego. The other winning teachers included: • Brawley Union High Letter to the Editor: Dear Editor: Let see now, step one: the President (executive) proposed a National Health Care bill. Step two. The Congress (legislature) passed it. Step three: The Supreme Court (judicial) approve it. All in compliance with the correct procedure of the three equal branches of the federal government, as written in the Constitution of the United States. And is now “crystal clear” (Nixon) the law of this here nation. In time, as it was with Social Security and Civil Rights, the people will adjust/accept it. Yet still the right-wing (that claims to be pure constitutionalist), along with the establishment of the Republican Party. Say that they will make it a 2016 campaign issue. Why this plum loco? They will shoot (they all carry guns) themselves on the foot. Add the rising anti-immigra- tion (Mexican) sentiment within the ranks of the GOP. It will surely bring out the low propensity voters of Hispanic descent to the polls on Election Day and they ain’t gonna vote Republican. Just like it did for California’s 1994 anti-immigrant Prop, 187. Backed by Republican Gov. Pete Wilson and later ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. These will make it easier for the Democrats to remain in the White House. In fact too easy. Which could make it harder for change, hope and promise. Giving way to the status quo. You see folks, then the Democrats won’t be under that much pressure to fully fight for income disparity of their constituency. Politics y’all. Pues que mas? Daniel Santillan Calexico School: Gracie Tamboc. • Barbara Worth Junior High School: Ricardo Reyes. • Phil D. Swing Elementary: Micaela Fletes. • Miguel Hidalgo Elementary: Susanna Leon • J.W. Oakley Elementary: David Gloria. All teachers were introduced by their school’s principals, who praised. Brawley’s nominees were selected on the criteria of training their students to become business leaders in the local community. This year’s dinner was the third annual celebration. In previous years, the Chamber’s luncheon would occur the week prior to the school year’s start. JOINED BY HER family, Heidi Kappeler, a teacher from Witter Elementary, was named the Brawley Chamber of Commerce Teacher of the Year last week. Chris Furguson Photo. Heffernan Board Gets County Scrutiny Again By Mario Conde Community members and elected officials gathered Tuesday evening in support of the Heffernan Memorial Board of Trustees. A press conference was held at the new medical facility purchased by Heffernan Memorial that will house new medical offices that will come to Calexico. The event was also made to respond to a recent article by a local Imperial Valley newspaper that put Heffernan in a negative light after the LAFCO hearing. Present at the media conference were representatives from El Centro Regional Medical Center, Pioneers Memorial Hospital, City of Calexico, County Board of Supervisors, and senior residents that participate in Calexico's recreational programs. Heffernan wanted to respond to the article that quoted LAFCO member Michael Kelley that said Heffernan has not done anything since 1996 when the Calexico Hospital was closed. Supervisor Kelley recommended during the LAFCO hearing to keep Heffernan and continue doing their services to Calexico but also to help Heffernan complete their Service Area Plan. Several members of the community and elected attended the LAFCO meeting to support Heffernan and persuade the board not to dissolve it. Calexico Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Hildy Carrillo the Heffernan Board gives back to the community by doing community work, especially for senior citizens. "We have five Latinas elected to the board and we should be proud that." Carrillo said, "I can tell you first had what these women are doing to move in a positive direction despite all the problems Calexico is going through." Heffernan Attorney Eduardo Rivera said the new medical facility will include a one-year pilot program for a child obesity program that will be supervised by Dr. Luz Elva Tristan. Rivera said that they are also working with Pioneers Memorial and will be expanding the Pioneers Urgent Care Center in Calexico to be once again having 24 hour service. "The people here today recog- nize this district is working to provide healthcare services to all of the community of Calexico." Rivera said. Pioneers Board President Catalina Alcantra-Santillan said Pioneer and Heffernan have a long standing relationship. "We can show other counties that we can come together and work for the best of the community because we care." Alcantra-Santillan said. County Supervisor John Renison said the County supports Heffernan and it's confident that the Service Area Plan will be completed as LAFCO recommended. "The County Board of Supervisors supports what you do." Renison said, "The time of parochialism is gone and we are all now working for the benefit of the county. Heffernan has the best interest of the community at heart and we should not look back."

The City of Calexico experienced the absence of a city manager for twenty-four hours last week. Upon the immediate directive to put Richard Warne on administrative leave on Tuesday evening, Calexico did not have a lead administrator until the special meeting called for Wednesday evening. The council went to closed session and voted 4-0 to name Fenley as the acting city manager. Councilwoman Maritza Hurtado was not present at the meeting because of health issues. Fenley's appointment marks a milestone in the revolving door of city managers becoming the tenth city manager to hold the position in the last ten years. The city managers that have held the position since 2005 between interim, permanent, and transitional are: Marlene Best, Kevin Northcraft, Ralph Velez, Louis Fuentes, Judy Hashem, Victor Carrillo, Oscar Rodriquez, Andrew Takata, Richard Warne, and Nick Fenley. Calexico Mayor Joong Kim welcomed Fenley to the job and said he will have his support during his time as acting city manager. "You are made in Calexico and I'm very excited to see how you work as a City Manager and I'll do everything in my power to make your time smooth so we can accomplish things for the community." Mayor Kim said. Mayor Pro Tem Luis Castro echoed Kim's comments and wished Fenley good luck on his interim post. "It feels like a new day for Calexico and thanks for being patient with all of this going on and we need to move forward on the items we need to take care of. We are here to look for the benefit of the city." Castro said during council comments. Fenley has more than 36 years working for the city and has held various positions including assistant to the City Manager during the Richard Inman and Henry Legaspi administration. Fenley said that despite what is happen- ing in the city at the moment, he is looking forward to work to move the city forward. "The goals are to advertize for a permanent city manager and keep things moving and keeping the services operating for the residents at all times. Our second goal is to find out how we stand financially and go forward with that." Fenley said. Fenley will continue being the Public Works Director but will now be in charge of all the projects. "We are cautious but we need to be proactive instead of being reactive and take the issues as they come along." Fenley said. Currently the city does not have a finance director since John Quinn decided to resign from his positions three weeks ago. There was no official reason given for his resignation but he gave notice to City Manager Richard Warne months ago about his decision to leave the city. Fenley said the city will be also looking to replace John Quinn and look for a new finance director. "The finance director position is one of the items that are going to be coming up." he said Regarding the budget, Fenley said they will be looking at the current budget and taking a closer look at it per the direction of th city council.

THE VIKINGS CAME into Friday's game hoping to repeat what they did last year to the Southwest Eagles as they defeated them 36-19 on their home ground, but the Eagles had a different idea. SOUTHWEST'S TYLER SAIKHON ended up scoring three touchdowns and had one interception against the Vikings.

Owning the right type of vehicle for you family’s needs can also help everyone travel in comfort and security. Vacations are a great way to recharge and get some time away from the daily grind. While many working men and women take one or two vacations per year, recreational vehicle owners can travel more often without breaking the bank. Recreational vehicles, or RVs, are often referred to as campers or motor homes. Equipped with many amenities, ranging from kitchens to multiple sleeping areas to entertainment spaces, RVs offer many of the comforts of home. The Recreational Vehicle Industry Association says RV ownership is currently at an alltime high. According to Dr. Richard Curtin, RV industry analyst and director of consumer surveys at the University of Michigan, 8.9 million households now own an RV. That's up from 7.9 million in 2005. Drivers considering buying an RV may have many questions about these increasingly popular vehicles. RVs come in two main types: motorized and towable. Understanding the differences between the two and the various subcategories of RV can help drivers make the most informed decisions when purchasing their RVs. Motorized Motorized RVs are broken down by class, including class A, B and C. The distinction between the classes of RV is based on size. · Class A: This class of motor home is very large and offers all of the comforts you'd expect from home. Many people who purchase a class A RV plan to travel all year long. Slide-outs can expand the living area when parked, and full bathrooms, complete kitchens and more are the norm. Because of their size, class A RVs tend to be the most expensive and may be more vehicle than many people can afford. Their large size (many look like a bus on the road) can make them difficult to navigate for novices. · Class B: Class B RVs are often referred to as "van conversions." Class B are the smallest, fully enclosed campers available in the motorized category. Living space is limited in these RVs, but economy and versatility make them quite popular. Usually these campers can sleep between two and four people. · Class C: Class C RVs are a compromise between types A and B. Class C are mid-sized with a driver's compartment similar to a van and a larger box in the back for the living area. Some come with a sleeping bunk above the cab. Depending on the floor plan, class C campers can sleep up to 10 people. Towable Towable RVs are another option and can be more affordable because they can be pulled behind your existing vehicle. · Travel trailers: Travel trailers look similar to traditional motorized RVs but without the driving cab. They can be hitched to the back of a vehicle. Travel trailers are popular because of their versatility. Travel trailers can be ideal for those with limited budgets but the desire to have a self-contained unit. · Pop-up: Folding camping trailers, or pop-up trailers, are inexpensive and lightweight. They provide many of the conveniences found in a basic travel trailer but in a smaller size. · Fifth-wheel: If you own a pickup truck, a fifth-wheel trailer may be good for you. These hitch to the top of the pickup bed and have similar features to a traditional travel trailer. RVs make great investments for men and women who love the open road. They also are a great way to take the entire family on an affordable and memorable vacation. Governor Signs Revelopment Bill Sponsored By Garcia Assembly Bill 2 relating to redevelopment was signed by Governor Brown today. The bill was jointly authored by Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella) and Assemblymember Luis Alejo (DWatsonville) which would allow specified "disadvantaged" areas throughout the state to create their own Community Revitalization Investment Authorities (CRIA). Each CRIA would allow property tax investments of consenting local agencies to, among other things, improve neighborhood conditions, increase employment opportunities, and reduce crime rates. "Since the dissolution of redevelopment agencies (RDA), cities across California have been looking for more economic development tools to utilize," said Assemblymember Garcia "As a former Mayor of the City of Coachella, I know that many of our cities are experiencing high levels of unemployment and heightened levels of crime. AB 2 will now bring the needed relief to these areas resulting in the improvement of our communities." "This is major news. Having these type of economic tools on hand give us the opportunity to build affordable housing, transitoriented development, and rebuild our neighborhoods which would benefit the residents of Coachella," stated Steven Hernandez, Mayor of Coachella. "The Community Revitalization Investment Authority will incentivize our businesses and residents. Smaller cities like ours need these type of tools to retain businesses and we must continue to attractive more investments in order to stay competitive," stated Mark Gran, Mayor of the City of Imperial. Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella) serves as the Chairperson of the Assembly Committee on Jobs, Economic Development and the Economy. He represents the 56th district, which comprises the cities and communities of Blythe, Brawley, Bermuda Dunes, Calexico, Calipatria THERE WILL BE MORE construction in Coachella and Imperial Conty according to Eduardo Garcia, Assemblyman whose redevelopment bill was signed recently.

Also, with the help of our community and volunteers 264 backpacks filled with school supplies were donated to 31 Imperial Valley elementary schools to aid our low income children. Partnering with local businesses, Spread the Love Charity arranged for the children living at a shelter to receive haircuts before school started as well as a pizza party at the bowling alley.

Holtville Tribune Friday, September 25, 2015 PAGE 10 Imperial County Prepares For Upcoming Flu Season Public Health Department will start offering flu shots to individuals six months and older Wednesday, October 7th at the first flu clinic Walk-ins will start on October 8th The Imperial County Public Health Department announced today that it would start administering flu shots on Wednesday October 7th to individuals six months and older. The Department will host a flu clinic at the Department’s Training Center from 8:00 am – noon. Walk-ins for the flu shot will start on Thursday October 8th. Flu shots for seniors will begin Thursday October 1st at regularly scheduled Senior Clinics throughout Imperial County. This year’s flu vaccine will protect against seasonal flu. The cost for receiving the flu shot will be $5.00. Dr. Stephen Munday, Public Health Officer stated, “Since the flu vaccine takes about two weeks to become effective, the Public Health Department strongly advises all individuals who are eligible, to get their flu shots early to lessen their risk of contracting the flu this flu season and in preparation for the Holiday season.” Flu activity in the United States generally peaks between late December and early March. Each year the Public Health Department conducts a mass vaccination exercise to test out sites to administer vaccine, medication or other assistance in the event of a local disaster or an emergency. The Department offers flu shots during these exercises to try to simulate a real event as closely as possible. This year, the Department will host a vaccina- tion clinic at San Pasqual Valley High School Library in Winterhaven on Thursday October 15th from 4:00-7:00 pm as part of its annual vaccination exercise. The Department makes an effort to offer flu vaccine to those areas where flu shots are not easily accessible. For this reason the flu shot will be offered at no cost at this particular clinic. Flu shots will be available at the Public Health Department on a walk-in basis starting Thursday October 8th during regular work hours (Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.) Flu Clinics for seniors are being held in various areas of the County. In addition, the Department will be offering flu vaccine at various Calexico’s Sendei Kai Karate School Wins Big At Recent Tournament community events in partnership with local community organizations. Flu vaccine is also available with local physicians, community clinics and local pharmacies. Individuals who wish to receive the flu shot from their doctor will need to contact their healthcare provider directly about the availability of flu vaccine. Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory illness that can cause mild to severe illness. Signs and symptoms of the flu include fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and muscle aches. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), every year in the United States, on average 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu; more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications, and about 36,000 people die from the flu each year. Some people, such as older adults, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at higher risk for suffering serious complications from the flu. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year. For more information regarding the flu clinics or the flu vaccine please call (442) 265-6777 or send an email to [email protected] . Information will also be available on Facebook and twitter.

The World Health Organization says that each year 12.7 million people are diagnosed with cancer and 7.6 million people die from the disease. Despite the prevalence of cancer, many cancer patients experience feelings of isolation when diagnosed with the disease. A cancer diagnosis can lead to anxiety and depression, which can impact cancer patients' ability to fight their disease. Ongoing research into a cure and new treatment options can give individuals hope, but finding a support group can provide the extra boost cancer patients need to make it through a difficult time in their lives. There are many different paths to take to find a cancer support group.

A select group of UC San Diego Health emergency staff will manage services in the ECRMC Emergency Department, improving the capabilities, efficiency and quality of care provided to the nearly 50,000 patients treated there yearly. “Partnering with UC San Diego Health, the region’s topranked health system, will give us the opportunity to implement strategies that will improve wait times and best practices in our emergency room,” said Tomas Virgen, interim CEO, ECRMC. “Utilizing the talent of UC San Diego Health physicians will result in a more comprehensive approach, faster diagnoses and more treatment options for our patients, as well as strengthen the ties within the entire community we serve.” “This collaboration will allow El Centro to become part of our mission to deliver outstanding patient care though commitment to the community, groundbreaking research and inspired teaching,” said Patty Maysent, interim CEO, UC San Diego Health. “Not only will the partnership provide superior health outcomes to patients in the Imperial Valley, it will give clinical team members at ECRMC access to joint projects and educational opportunities that are cross beneficial, elevating the standard of physicians in the field of emer- gency medicine.” Some of the strategies UC San Diego Health staff are looking to implement in the ECRMC emergency room include a faster approach to treat cardiac arrests, a more efficient way to read electrocardiograms (EKGs) and a more streamlined triage process where a nurse takes vitals in the waiting room during peak hours so patients can be seen sooner. UC San Diego Health is also in the process of researching ways to improve the process of transferring ECRMC patients in need of a higher level of care. UC San Diego Health is a designated comprehensive stroke center, which will allow physicians to work with the ECRMC team to treat the most complex cases using an existing telemedicine program. The program will bring instant expertise to this patient population without geographic limitations or boundaries.
