Calexico Approves Eminent Domain Plan For Chavez Blvd Expansion
By Mario Conde
The Calexico City Council
approved several resolutions to
allow the city to use eminent
domain on properties along Cesar
Chavez Boulevard for future
expansion.
In preparation to the opening
of the new Calexico Port of
Entry, the city of Calexico plans
to expand Cesar Chavez Blvd. to
four lanes and a fifth one for the
port of entry and will install a
stop light on the corner of Grant
and Cesar Chavez. The goal is to
put stop lights and create more
lanes since the new port of entry
will divert more traffic on Cesar
Chavez Blvd.
Calexico city staff has
attempted to undertake negotiations with the property owners,
but to date has not been able to
secure a final agreement for the
transfer of property by the way of
negotiated agreement. City
Attorney Mark Austin said that
staff will continue to pursue discussion with property owners.
Austin said the property owners have the right to appear and
be heard on the matters. City
Attorney said that property owners can bring their own appraiser
to the city negotiations and will
be reimbursed up to $5,000.
Martha Rodriguez, property
owner at Cesar Chavez Blvd.,
said she received the notice to
negotiate with the city but said
that what the city was offering
was too low. Rodriguez mentioned that if the city takes part of
her property it will take away
parking from her area and will
cause an inconvenience for her
clients.
Councilman Armando Real
said that the city needs to move
forward with this project since
the new port of entry will create a
positive economic benefit for
Calexico and the business owners
at Cesar Chavez Blvd.
"Having the city take over
parts of your properties will create an inconvenient but the value
of your property might triple
because of the new port of entry
near it." Real said.
Councilman Luis Castro said
he was going to vote against this
proposal since it would affect the
business people around the area.
Castro said he supports the new
port of entry but he would not
approve something that would
affect businesses.
Mayor Kim also stated his
opposition and recalled his youth
in Korea where eminent domain
caused people to lose their
homes. Kim said that is not right
for government to come and take
over the property of business
owners.
The Council voted 3-2 to
approve it with Mayor Kim and
Mayor Pro Tem Castro voting
against it. The resolution needed
a four vote majority to pass and
did not meet the requirement.
City Attorney Mark Austin
explained that the city will continue the negotiations with the
landowners and set a price that
both parties can agreed upon and
are not taking immediate actions
to take over their property.
With
the
explanation,
Councilman Luis Castro changed
his vote and the final vote ended
4-1 to pass.

September Brawley Council Meeting To Address Planned Rate Increases
By
Chris Furguson
The City Council of Brawley
will be hosting a regularly
scheduled
meeting
on
September 15, 2015 at an undetermined location to discuss and
possibly approve a five-year
water and wastewater rate
increase. The location of the
meeting, likely the city's Lions
Center, will need to accommodate a larger than expected audience.
These rate increases, if

for the upcoming school year. The department does this repair work every fall, just before students
need them to safely make their way to classes. Chris Furguson Photo.
passed by the council, would
increase a single family's water
and wastewater bill by nearly
$37 by 2020. Water rates would
rise by a total of 54% from the
current rate and sewer fees
would rise by 17% over the fiveyear plan.
For a regular customer who
uses 15,000 gallons of water a
month, these proposed increases
would raise their monthly water
bill from $49.70 to $76.44 after
five years and their sewer bills
from $49.10 to $55.25 in 2020.
While Brawley's council
approved the proposal in July,
the actual approval will come at
the September 15 public hearing. A bilingual letter addressing the proposed rate increases
was mailed to residents with
July's utility bill.
The proposed increases
would put Brawley in the upper
bracket of rate payers within
Imperial County, third behind
Imperial and Calipatria in water
rates and El Centro and Holtville
in sewer rates.
The approved proposal did
come with some difficulty as
council member were hesitant to
start an initial 18% increase in
the city's water rate, favoring a
gentler 11% increase for the first
year. Rates would increase by
9% for the next three years
before a 7% hike in 2020.
For wastewater fees, increases would be 4% for the first two
years, 3% for the following pair
of years and 2% in 2020.
The increases are required to
keep both the programs solvent
and to pay for capital improvement projects. The increases
also compensate for water conservation efforts made by rate
payers.
The meeting is part of the
state's Proposition 218 protocols
passed in 1996 that requires a
city to have a public meeting and
discuss rate increases before
implementing them.

bell rings.
Calexico Unified School
District teachers returned to work

She added that there will be
parent training throughout the
year for parents that are focused
on Common Core and other initiatives.
"We will be offering parent
training throughout the year that
will focus on student learning, so
that parents are also knowledgeable of what their children are
doing in school." she said.
There are also changes in the
administration at some schools as
new principals were appointed
this school year. Ambriz said that
these new assignments will bring
positive changes district wide.
Dr. Isaac Estrada was
appointed as the new Principal at
Cesar Chavez Elementary; Joan
Hanson will in Dool Elementary;

“Brown Bag Coalition” Delivers Food To Calexico’s Homeless
By Mario Conde
Every day at around 7:30
p.m. dozens of homeless get food
and water all thanks to the efforts
of a group called Calexico Brown
Bag Coalition.
The volunteer efforts to help
the homeless in Calexico are well
known since the beginning of the
year when shelters were installed
for the homeless population in
Calexico.
Because of the freezing temperatures that affected our area
back in December, members of
Calexico High School Class of
1982 decided to look for ways to
open a temporary shelter for the
homeless. The shelters may have
closed down in February, but the
support for the homeless continued by providing meals for those
that need it continues.
Right after the closure of the
shelters, the former tenants participated in the clean-up of public
restrooms in Downtown Calexico
and participated and other cleanup activities that are organized by
the Class of '82.
Activities such as these have
created awareness and more support for the homeless population
in Calexico and have given the
homeless hope since know they
have support and are willing to
give back to the community by
volunteering in cleanup activities.
Friday night, Maribel Padilla
and family arrived at the parking
lot located 3rd and Heber and
gave food to approximately forty
people. After the meals are
served they go to different points
of the city and provide more
meals.
Among those that received
food is Alfredo who works in the
fields and is originally from Los
Angeles. Alfredo was waiting to
get the bus and take a trip to
Arizona and work on the fields.
"It's great to see them come
over here and help us by giving
us food." Alfredo said.
Aside from the Padilla family, other volunteers groups of the
Calexico Brown Bag Coalition
donate their time to provide food
such as "Las Hormiguitas de
Jesus" who this past Monday
gave thirty plates that included
three bean with chorizo tacos,
spanish fruit, water and juices.
The awareness Calexico
started by taking care of homeless has been taken as a model for
other cities such as El Centro
who are now looking how provide more services for homeless
people.
"What we are doing here is
now being looked at by other
cities in the Imperial Valley.
What we are doing in Calexico is
being replicated in Brawley and
El Centro and that's a good
thing." Padilla said.
Anyone that would like to
donate or sponsor meals they can
contact the Calexico Brown Bag
Coalition on their Facebook page
or call Rick Leyva at 760-3129687.
Calexico Police Officers To Begin Using Body Cameras On Patrol
By
Mario Conde
The
Calexico
Police
Department has joined the
national trend of investing in
body cameras that will be used by
its officers beginning next week.
Recent events in several cities
across the United States involving police and law enforcement
abuse has force police departments to purchase body cameras
in order to bring more transparen-

cy and make residents trust in
their police officers once more.
Calexico police officers have
also been involved in alleged in
officer-involved incidents such as
the case of a former police officer
that allegedly broke a female's
nose while being arrested. That's
why Chief Michael Bostic, with
the approval of the City Council,
purchased body camera equipment for the officers.
Bostic announced that all
officers will be wearing body
cameras as the city approved the
purchase of 42 body cameras to
be used by the officers in order to
bring more transparency and
bring back trust to Calexico
police officers.
Chief Bostic explained that
the body cameras will be recording at all times but the video
footage will not be saved unless
it's activated. The memory drive
of the camera saves the footage
that begins recording 30 seconds
before activating.
"The best part is that all of my
officers want to have a body camera. That's something I've never
seen in any other police department." Bostic said.
Chief Bostic said he is working with the Calexico Police
Officers Association to establish
a policy that will guide police
officers on how and where to use
the body cameras.
"These cameras will help us a
lot with our internal investigations that can now be resolved
faster thanks to these cameras."
he added.
Calexico join El Centro as the
second city in Imperial Valley
where their officers use body
cameras. California cities such as
Oakland have benefited from the
use of body cameras since they
started using them in 2009 and
have seen a decline in police officer use-of-force complaints.

The Galvan family from
Calexico announced their
Second Annual Back Pack
drive. The family will donate
over 100 school backpacks to
Calexico children. Calexico
Neighborhood House in cooperation with the Calexico
Resource Center will distribute
the back packs on August 20th.
Special appreciation is
given to LaDainian Tomlinson
of the San Diego Chargers,
future hall of famer football
player, for his backpack donation and for promoting the drive
in his Facebook and twitter, as
well as, to hometown hero First
Class Christina Ramirez and
National City Trophy for their
continuous and generous contribution.
This is the second year the
Juan's Galvan family has taken
it upon themselves to collect
and distribute school backpacks
in memory of their beloved on,
Juan Galvan, who was born
with Muscular Dystrophy (MD)
and
as
child
attended
Rockwood Elementary School
in Calexico.
Juan was a poster child for
the Imperial Valley MDA
Telethon. By the time Juan was
in junior high school, he had
lost the ability to walk. This
setback did not discourage him
from attending school and graduating from De Anza Jr. High.
After junior high school Juan
set out on his quest to conquer
Calexico High School despite
the prognosis of declining physical strength.
While MD had an effect on
his body, it never conquered his
mind or heart. Juan vowed to
have a positive impact on others. Juan's passion to help others prompted him to pursue a
degree in Psychology from San
Diego State University. Juan
was never one to settle and this
encouraged him to earn a
Masters Degree from the
University of Phoenix in
Marriage, Family and Child
Therapy.
As a professional Juan
worked for the State of
California in the Department of
Rehabilitation, achieving his
goal of helping improve the
quality of life for people with
disabilities.
Despite the obstacles that
Juan faced in life he met his
goals, lived his dream, and
enjoyed life to the fullest.
On Thursday, August 20th
family members will help distribute the backpacks to children at Calexico Rockwood
Elementary School.

Worst Street Still Getting Fixed Soon, New Park Set For 2017 Finish
By Chris Furguson
A pair of long awaited projects in Brawley are still on track
to begin during the fall and winter of this year, but one will have
a later than expected starting
date.
South Palm Avenue, often
called the "worst street in
Brawley," is currently scheduled
to begin full renovations on
October 1, 2015 after years of
complaints from residents and
motorists. The street, riddled
with potholes, cracks and loose
chunks of asphalt, is in it's poor
condition due to constant traffic
from heavy vehicles.
The street is known as a
"major collector" and diverts traffic from Main Street to other
important roadways like K street,
and Malan Street on the south
portion of the city and River
“BRAWLEY’S WORST STREET,” South Palm Avenue, is expected to begin renovations sometime
in October, barring any unforseen delays in funding. Photo by Chris Furguson.
Drive and B street to the north.
Heavy vehicles, such as semitrucks with trailers, Imperial
Transit's large buses and work
trucks from the nearby CalTrans
yard, abuse the street along with
the higher than average regular
vehicle traffic.
The status as a "major collector" allows for special federal
funds to be used on the project.
The project itself has a deadline
of September 31, 2016, but work
is expected to start in October,
the start of the federal fiscal year.
North Palm Avenue, running
from River Drive to Main Street,
will be worked on as part of the
city's scheduled Phase 10
improvements approved earlier
this year by the city council.
Work is scheduled to begin in the
spring of 2016.
The second project, Alyce
Gereaux Park, has completed
their design phase and is going to
to bid before the end of the year.
According to Brawley City
Manager Rosanna Moore, the
project will begin construction in
the first quarter of 2016 and has a
timeframe of 12 to 18 months.
Alyce Gereaux Park, located
north of J.W. Oakley in the northeast part of Brawley, was originally the subject of a nearly $5
million grant application in 2010.
That figure was reduced to $2.7
million when the grant was
awarded, pending a completion
by 2019.
Design features for the renovated Alyce Gereaux Park will
include:
* A splash pad with lighting
and security features.
* New lit multi-use athletic
field (youth soccer)
* New lit pedestrian
trail/walking path
* New drought tolerant garden and landscape areas
* New picnic area
* New accessible playground
* Renovated basketball

Rights Group Offering Help For Alleged Victims Of Abuse By Calexico Police
By
Mario Conde
In an effort to give orientation
and support for individuals that
have been abused by law enforcement officers, a local non-profit
group has been established to
help residents file their complaints.
The
Human
Rights
Community Group, a volunteer
organization based in Calexico,
started this year with the goal to
support people from both sides of
the border that have been a victim
of abuse or discrimination by
Customs and Border Protection
or the local police officers.
For Jesse Gallardo, president
of the organization, it is important for people to know their
rights when facing a situation that
involves law enforcement officials. Gallardo, a Calexico business owner, has also been victim
of abuse by law enforcement officials in the past as well as people
closed to him. That's what motivated Gallardo to create this
group that would give people
resources on how to denounce
abuse.
"People are afraid of making
a complaint because they fear
retaliation." Gallardo said, "Our
goal is to make this a nonprofit
entity with the trust of the community and that law agents
understand that they are being
watched by a non-political group
that just wants transparency."
The group is doing this on a
volunteer basis and has already
received thirty complaints that
are currently being look at and be
sent to the proper authorities.
Gallardo said that two of the most
frequent cases include are sexual
harassment and humiliation.
Gallardo said that group has
approached other community
agencies to gather support for this
cause.
"We had a meeting about
three months ago with the
Calexico Police Chief and he was
all on board. Mr. Bostic does
want to make a difference in
Calexico but I believe he can't
move forward if he is not sure he
has the job secure. After he
becomes permanent, we will be
able to get together in one meeting with all agencies involved."
he stated.
Gallardo said that the main
focus of the group is to orientate
people and not follow or harass
law enforcement agents.
"We advise on what is the
best course of action for people.
When doing an official complaint, there is a legal and appropriate process. It is kind of long
but worth it so that supervisors
and people in Washington can
start noticing a difference."
Gallardo said that the community group orientates all people regardless of their legal status, if they live in the Imperial
Valley, or coming as tourist. The
next step for the group is to
become a non-profit organization.
Anyone with that could like
to contact the group to file a
complaint or get information they
can do so by e-mail at [email protected] or visit them
at their office located at 408 E.
Second Street.

ensure the safe passage of each
and every motorist by targeting
roads where there is a high frequency of intoxicated or unlicensed drivers. A sobriety/driver
license checkpoint is a proven
effective tool for achieving this
goal and is designed to augment
existing patrol operations. By
publicizing our efforts we believe
that we can deter motorists from
being intoxicated or unlicensed
while driving a motor vehicle.
Traffic volume permitting, all
vehicles will be checked for drivers who are under the influence
of alcohol or drugs or driving
unlicensed. Our objective is to
send a clear message to those
individuals that consider mixing
alcohol or drugs and/or driving
unlicensed-"The CHP will be
keeping a close eye out for you."
Funding for this program was
provided by a grant from the
California Office of Traffic
Safety, through the National
Highway
Traffic
Safety
Administration.
Note: The sobriety/driver
license checkpoint will be in
criminal prosecution for re-entry
after previously being removed.

Back To School - Already?
IT’S BACK TO SCHOOL
TIME in Imperial Valley once
again.
Already? Classes started this
week in Calexico and El Centro
as school starts earlier and earlier
and runs later and later, thus
shortening up what used to be a
long summer vacation.
School ends around June 15th
and with classes starting up
August 20th. It makes for only a
10 week summer vacation. If that
much.
Back in the good old days, we
would get vacation time that lasted from the Memorial Day to
Labor Day, making for an
exceedingly long time to be
underfoot for our parents. But for
us kids it was a great time to play
and be involved in lots of outdoor
activities.
There were games in the park
and swimming, trips downtown
to the department stores and
more swimming at the YMCA.
Infact, that’s where I got my first
swimming lessons. That I can
still swim today is a credit to the
skills of teachers and my own
retention values.
So, as the students hit the books
and try real hard not to look out
the window at the passing of
another year, we must all turn our
attention to getting back to work
with the same feelings.
Where did the summer go and
when will it return?

Brawley Elementary Schools To Stop Busing Students In Upcoming Year
By
Chris Furguson
Brawley Elementary students
won't have to travel far to attend
their Fall classes as the school
district is ending their controversial busing program this coming
year.
The district, aided by studies
that show more diversity among
ethnic and economic lines in each
section of the city, will no longer
move students across town for
classes.
This led to individual schools
being separated by K-3 and 4-6
grade levels, with a rotating
schedule depending on population and incoming students.
Instead of busing, a program
of “neighborhood schools” will
be enforced, where students will
attend one school from kindergarten to 6th grade, before moving on to Barbara Worth and the
high school.
The busing program, which
began thirty-five years ago, was
in response to concerns from Los
Angeles County teachers and
parents that location and local
populations were being used by
the school districts to discriminate against poorer and ethnic
neighborhoods.
At the time, Brawley was listed as one of the major offenders
of this policy. In response, students began being bused back
and forth across town.
As a byproduct of this
change, some parents who were
angered by the policy began
enrolling their children in private
schools.
The process for removing the
busing system began in 2012
when the school board hired consultants to determine population
boundaries for a proposed school
near the Wal-Mart shopping area.
Surveys conducted by consultants and other parties determined that the problems in ethnic
and economic divisions that
plagued Brawley weren’t in
place. This led the Board to
decide on removing buses.
The biggest savings for the
district will be on not requiring
bus drivers and a lower demand
for fuel.
Brawley’s elementary level
teachers have been preparing
over the summer for their new
classes. Summer school programs, save for one at Hidalgo
Elementary, were all canceled
and the start of the school
delayed an additional week.
Brawley Elementary School
students will start classes on
Monday, August 31, one week
after most schools start their
school years.

Imperial County Superior Court Program Holtville Vessey & Co Owners
Recognized By State Senator
To Round Up Jury Duty Delinquents
The Superior Court of
California, County of Imperial
announced on August 19, 2015
the beginning of a tougher new
program to round up persons who
willfully fail to respond to their
jury summons, thereby enforcing
the penalties that California law
allows for those refusing to serve.
Court Executive Officer and
Jury Commissioner, Tammy L.
Grimm, stated: "The Court's goal
is to ensure that jury service is
shared by all eligible citizens of
Imperial County, as mandated by
the State Legislature. Trial by
jury is a cherished constitutional
right and jury service is an obligation of citizenship. It is only
fair that the obligation be shared
by all citizens, not just those who
faithfully answer the call to
serve."
California has made jury
service much easier in recent
years with the one-day or onetrial program. Unfortunately,
Imperial County has one of the
lowest juror and response rates in
the entire state. It is not uncommon for the Court to send out
1300 summons, with only 30% or
less appearing or answering the
notice.
Experience has shown that
many citizens simply do not
understand how important their
service is to the smooth functioning of the jury system, and many
who initially fail to appear ultimately make perfectly good
jurors and end up enjoying their
service, feeling they gave back to
the community.
Given the number of trials in
Imperial County as of late, and
the need to increase the pool of
potential jurors, the Court must
now focus on tracking down
prospective jurors who ignore
their summonses to report for
duty. Although offered numerous
chances to report or explain why
they cannot serve, many residents
continue to discard or ignore
their jury summons.
Yet,
California law allows judges to
fine or even jail jurors who refuse
to serve, and judges in Imperial
County are toughening up on
enforcement of these penalties.
Therefore, under the Court's
new program, citizens who fail to
appear for jury service may be
held in contempt of court, which
is punishable by fine and/or
incarceration. Or the court may
impose reasonable monetary
sanctions in lieu of a finding of
contempt.
If a person does not respond
to the initial jury summons, the
court will send a second notice.
If the summoned juror does not
respond to that second summons,
then the juror will be served with
an order stating that the nonresponsive juror must come to
court to appear before a Judge at
an Order to Show Cause hearing
regarding why he or she should
not be fined. Should a person fail
to appear at the hearing, the court
will issue a warrant for his or her
arrest.
When the first jury summons
arrives, the Court urges recipients
of the notice to respond. If the
summonsed juror has a valid reason for postponing service or a
legal reason to be excused, the
reason can be written on the summons in the blanks provided and
mailed back to the Court.
"The Court's goal is to gain
compliance rather than sanction
non-responsible jurors and to
impress upon local citizens the
importance of jury duty. The
more jurors reporting for jury
duty, the less frequently jurors
will be called for service, the
faster trials can move forward,
and the better our system of justice will operate," CEO/Court
Jury Commissioner Grimm stated. "We all live in a justice system that permits a jury of our
peers. We need to have a sufficient pool of all qualified residents to ensure that this right is
being protected during trials."

Four Tips For Customizing Your Basement
The start of a new season is
the perfect time to check some
tasks off of your "to-do" list whether it's to get in shape or
tackle at-home projects. If you're
planning on making some simple but effective changes at
home, here are some tips on how
to give your basement a total
180-degree makeover.
Soundproof it
Installing acoustic insulation
is the perfect excuse to crank up
the subwoofer, host a get-together or let the kids run wild.
Soundproofing is the ultimate
solution to maximize your basement's peace, quiet and privacy.
Industry experts suggest using
Roxul Safe n' Sound, which
effectively absorbs sound and is
easy to work with.
Out with the old, in with a
floor
Installing a new floor or
updating the existing one can
improve the overall comfort
level and look of your basement.
Many unfinished basements
have basic concrete flooring,
which is cold year-round.
Flooring options are endless hardwood, laminate, cork and
Berber flooring all add warmth
to a basement bedroom or TV
room; play mats are great for
kids' playrooms; and carpets are
perfect to make any room feel
more comfy and welcoming.
Get creative with a fresh coat
of paint
Transform the dull and boring space into an inviting entertainment oasis or a colorful playroom with a simple coat of paint.
When considering the paint,
think about what color will compliment your existing furniture.
To add some drama, consider
adding depth and visual interest
to your space with a different
colored accent wall.
Accessorize it
Throw pillows, rugs, lighting, and artwork are simple
additions that can immediately
enhance or change your basement's look and feel. Pot lights
can modernize, while art work
and throw pillows can add a
splash of color. Decide on a
theme and color scheme for your
room and keep your eye out for
staple pieces that will make it
feel like an entirely new space.

Searching For Great Pizza Within The Borders Of Imperial County
By Phil Mestomack
Back from a long vacation,
Phil Mestomack is back to find
out who has the best pizza in
Imperial County.
Pizza.
The word brings a different
feeling to every person, usually
based on personal tastes and
regional affiliations.
People in New York, for
example, prefer a pizza that has a
thin crust and thin layer of toppings.
Chicago-style pizza fans, on
the other hand, prefer a casserolelike pie with a flaky crust with
lots of meat and cheese topped
with tomato sauce.
Those in California usually
prefer unusual toppings, like barbecue chicken and spinach, along
with the usual pepperoni and
mushroom.
Each one isn't wrong in their
preferences, however, and there
are enough ways to make and eat
pizza that can satisfy every discerning and undiscriminating
palette.
Popularized after World War
II by returning soldiers who
served in Italy, pizza shops began
popping up in ethnic neighborhoods before becoming a national thing, rivaling the hamburger
as America’s favorite food.
THIS PEPPERONI PIZZA from George’s Pizza in Holtville features a thick crust along with the usual cheese and sauce.
A TWELVE INCH Inferno Pepperoni Pizza has a thin crust. The
Brawley restaurant’s pizza will cost $14. Phil Mestomack Photos.
The vast majority of pizza
served in the United States comes
from the national franchise
chains, consisting of bland,
doughy discs covered in generic
cheese and topped with the easily
recognizable red discs of meat.
These can be purchased
already prepared and kept hot for
a few dollars at the local franchise of the national pizza chain.
While these may make for a
cheap meal for a small family,
they do fall under the problem
being the exact same thing as
everywhere else.
No matter where you go in
the world, a pizza from one of
these chains will taste the same as
one from another.
Recently, some specialty
pizza shops have begun opening
in Imperial County. Offering a
different experience than the
same old thing most of us are
used to, these places specialize in
different textures, ingredients or
cooking methods to create their
products.
This week, we will compare
three such pizza restaurants:
Inferno and Crumbs Pizzeria in
Brawley and George’s Pizza in
Holtville to determine who has
the better pie.
Inferno Calling itself an "artisan
eatery," Inferno's menu has a
taste of the unusual with the typical. Featuring burgers and pasta
along with their pizzas and salads, Inferno claims to "ensure an
exceptional dining experience
like nowhere else in the Imperial
Valley."
The décor inside Inferno is
described as "vintage industrial"
and features large heavy tables
and wood floors with brick wall
along the sides. A pizza oven can
be seen towards the back of the
restaurant near the bar.
The pizza served at Inferno
resembles the "wood fired" pizzas in most upscale eateries
around California
The pizza: Inferno’s pizza
was a hot, wood-fired pie with a
very thin crust and a thin layer of
Five Ways To Improve Fire Safety
An average of seven
Americans die each week as a
result of house fires. Most fires
occur in residential buildings
between the hours of 11 p.m.
and 7 a.m., when occupants are
most likely to be asleep. Your
first line of defense is fire preparedness.
Here's five things you can do
to increase your chance of survival in a fire:
· Install smoke alarms on
every story of your home and
outside sleeping areas. Be sure
to test them monthly, clean them
every six months and replace
batteries in spring and fall.
Having working fire alarms can
cut your chance of dying in a fire
in half!
· Have a fire escape plan for
your family and practice it. A
small fire can spread rapidly you may only have minutes or
seconds to escape. When going
over the details of your escape
plan, check windows and doors
to ensure all open easily. Know
your local emergency number
(911). Never stop to gather
belongings or reenter a home
after safely outside.
· When renovating, consider
using fire-rated, noncombustible
products. Your choice of insulation, for example, can be vital.
Stone wool insulation, like that
produced by Roxul, resists temperatures up to approximately
2,150 F. When directly exposed
to fire, it will not off-gas, contribute to toxic smoke or promote flames. Fire-resistant
building materials can give you
extra time to escape when seconds count.
· Purchase a multi-use fire
ladder for each bedroom in your
home and practice using it. A
fire ladder may be your only
escape option if flames block
critical exits.
· Place fire extinguishers on
every level of your home, especially in high-risk areas like the
kitchen, near fireplaces and in
the garage. Use only for small,
contained fires that are not
spreading rapidly. Know how to
operate your extinguisher before
an emergency occurs using the
PASS method: Pull pin, Aim
low, Squeeze lever and Sweep
from side to side. The safest
option is always to evacuate
your home and call for help.
Fire prevention measures are
a serious matter in every home.

and family safe at nfpa.org or
improve your fire safety knowledge by visiting the Roxul website.
sauce and toppings.
While very hot at first, but
edible, the pie was easy to eat due
to the thickness of the crust.
However, the main ingredient
was the house red sauce and not
the cheese or the pepperoni.
As the pie cooled, the ingredients began soaking into the
very thin crust, but not to the
point of reaching “soggy.”
Cost: The single-serving
pepperoni pizza (12 inches) at
Inferno costs $14. With a drink
and a tip, expect to pay around
$20 for the meal.
Crumbs Pizzeria Advertised as being so good
"crumbs are all that's left,"
Crumbs serves pasta, chicken
wings and other sports bar fare
alongside their New York-style
pizzas.
Crumbs Pizzeria's décor is
typical of most Italian-American
restaurants of the 1950s and
1960s. Red checker tablecloths
cover most of the tables, while
the large television screens and
well-stocked bar brings the
atmosphere of an American
sports bar.
The Pizza: Unfortunately,
the summer hours for Crumbs
Pizzeria made it ineligible for
inclusion in this survey.
Cost: According to their
online ordering service, a 12-inch
New York-style pepperoni pizza
from Crumbs will run around
$10.
George’s Pizza A Holtville institution, the
atmosphere inside George’s Pizza
was revamped after a water damage from a nearby fire put the
establishment out of business for
a few weeks. Inside, except for
some painted walls, the environment is entirely in the McClure-
style of owners George and
Blanca.
Did the fire affect the pizza
that keeps Holtville residents
coming back?
The pizza: A small pepperoni pizza at George’s (around 14
inches in diameter), this modern
oven fired pie is intended to be
eaten after a trip home and not
immediately out of the box.
Once properly cooled, the pie is
pretty standard, with an adequate
amount of sauce and cheese to go
with the pepperoni.
The crust resembles French
bread more than pizza dough,
with a resilient exterior and soft,
chewy interior. At hot to warm,
the crust firms up enough to hold
the toppings without difficulty.
This pizza will feed more
than one person easily.
Cost: A small pepperoni
pizza (without beverages) will
cost around $10 at George’s.
Verdict:
While it’s unfortunate that
Crumbs Pizzeria is not in the running, the circumstances are what
they are.
That said, there aren’t going
to be any winners in this survey.
When it comes to pizza, personal
preference has to take over.
However, if you’re looking for
advice on where to go, we have
that in spades.
If you’re looking for a single
dining experience that includes a
personal pizza, Inferno might be
the better option in terms of
atmosphere and customer service.
If the goal is a filling pizza
that will feed more than one person in the house or party,
George’s might be the better
place to be.
Happy Eating!

Stretching Your Dollars For Back To School Supplies
Back to school season can be
as expensive for parents as it is
exciting for students. Once the
initial letdown of the end of summer vacation wears off, many
kids are excited to return to
school, where they can see their
friends, study their favorite subjects and participate in extracurricular activities.
Parents of school-aged
youngsters may share in that
excitement while also knowing
that back to school season can
stretch their budgets. One of the
ways to salvage those budgets is
to save on school supplies.
Fortunately, there are several
ways parents can do just that.
· Be patient. Shopping early
can save shoppers money in
many instances, but parents may
benefit by exercising patience
when it comes to buying school
supplies for their children.
Teachers often give students lists
of supplies they will need for
each class, and parents who wait
to receive such lists can avoid
spending money on items their
kids won't need. Even if you wait
it out, you may be able to get a
head start, as some teachers may
post supply lists on school websites, while others might email
lists to parents before back to
school season hits full swing.
· Take inventory. If you have
more than one child, chances are
you already have lots of school
supplies around the house. Dust
off kids' backpacks and study
areas from last school year to
determine which supplies you
need to buy and which you
already have. Going forward,
encourage kids to store their supplies in a predetermined area
once the school year ends, as this
will make next year's inventory
that much easier to examine and
assess.
· Spend more now to save
later. While inexpensive supplies
can be hard to resist, such items
likely won't withstand the test of
time, forcing you to spend time
and money each year buying
replacement supplies. Paying
more now for certain items,
including stronger backpacks and
more highly rated calculators,
may end up saving you money in
the long run, even if the initial
pill is somewhat tough to swallow.
· Use technology to your
advantage. Department stores
and businesses that sell school
supplies, such as pharmacies and
office stores, may or may not discount too many items once back
to school season hits full swing.
But savvy parents can still find
deals by using technology to their
advantage when shopping for
school supplies. Download apps
like RetailMeNot to your smartphone and enable its updates so
your phone essentially notifies
you of any discounts the moment
you walk into a given store. If
you don't receive any updates,
search for discounts via the app
or the Internet as you shop.
Chances are strong that there are
deals to be had, even if you don't
learn of the deals until you arrive
at the store.
School supplies can be
expensive, but parents can
employ several strategies to save
on school supplies now and in the
future.
THE SIMPLEST TIPS can save you in the long run when shopping for your children’s school supplies.
Simplifying The Transition Into College Life
College is the first taste of
true independence many young
students experience. Whereas
mom and dad were always
around to make sure kids were
out the door on time and homework was done, that safety blanket is no longer there once kids
move into their dorm rooms.
The transition to college life
can be exciting. But while students typically welcome that
transition with open arms, parents often worry about how their
children will handle their suddenly more independent life. Parents
who want to help their kids make
as smooth a transition to college
life as possible can take steps
during their children's senior year
of high school to help them adjust
to their new surroundings and
responsibilities more easily.
· Let kids fly solo on school
day mornings. New college students have to make many adjustments upon moving into their
dorms, and getting themselves
out of bed each morning and off
to class on time is one such
change. Parents worried that their
students will sleep in when mom
and dad isn't around to remind
them to wake up can start letting
kids fly solo on school day mornings during their final year of
high school. Let kids set their
alarms, prepare their own breakfasts and get out the door on time
all on their own. By the time their
freshman year of college arrives,
kids will know how to handle
their mornings by themselves.
· Teach kids how to develop
budgets. Another problem many
first-year
college
students
encounter is an inability to effectively manage their money.
Whether you plan to give kids an
allowance while they are in
school or intend for them to work
part-time for their spending
money, use senior year of high
school as an opportunity to show
kids how to budget their money.
If they don't have accounts
already, open bank accounts in
your youngster's name, and insist
that he or she start paying for his
or her expenses via these
accounts. Resist the urge to give
high school kids gas money or
money for shopping trips if they
have already spent their
allowances so they can learn how
to effectively manage money
between paydays. In addition,
teach kids about the right and
wrong ways to use credit cards,
including the importance of paying balances in full and on time.
· Let kids handle more standard responsibilities. Adults tend
to take more mundane responsibilities like making doctor's
appointments or grocery shopping for granted. But kids likely
have no idea how to handle such
tasks. Parents can encourage their
high school seniors to make their
own medical appointments. In
addition, take kids along on grocery shopping trips, explaining
how to find sale items and which
foods to buy and which to avoid.
Nutrition is not always foremost
on the minds of college freshmen, but those who understand
the importance of healthy diets
are more likely to buy nutritious
meals than junk food.
· Emphasize time manage-
ment. Today's high schoolers are
busier than ever before, so many
may already be prepared for the
juggling act that is college life.
But college students have more
free time than their high school
counterparts, so parents can
emphasize the importance of
managing that free time wisely as
opposed to spending it lounging
on the couch or napping.
The transition from high
school to college can be both
exciting and difficult. But parents
can get a head start on that transition by encouraging their youngsters to be more independent during their final year of high
school.
Making Each School Morning Less Hectic For Parents And Kids
School day mornings can be
hectic, as getting kids ready for
school and out the door on time is
not always easy. Working parents
may find school day mornings
especially difficult, as their own
work schedules can make mornings feel even more rushed.
Fortunately, parents can employ
several strategies to free up time
in the morning so everyone starts
their days off in a more relaxing
atmosphere.
• Wake up earlier. Sleep
might seem like a precious commodity, but waking up just 10 to
15 minutes earlier can remove
some of the stress from weekday
mornings without costing you a
lot of sack time. Let kids sleep in
until their normal wakeup time,
PARENTS CAN TAKE several steps to make sure that each
school day morning goes more smoothly.
using your extra 10 or 15 minutes
to shower or enjoy your morning
cup of coffee before the house is
abuzz with activity.
• Tackle certain chores the
night before. Delaying certain
chores until you wake up makes
for a hectic morning, so tackle as
many morning chores as possible
before you go to bed for the
night. Prepare school lunches, lay
clothes out for yourself and your
children, and make sure kids
have their backpacks packed and
ready to go before they go to bed.
Each of these things may only
take a few minutes, but when left
for the morning, they can add up
to a substantial amount of time.
• Encourage youngsters to
pick up the pace. Some people
are morning people, while others
dread setting their alarms for
early morning hours. Kids who
fall into the latter group may drag
their feet in the morning, but parents should offer encouragement
when kids are moving slowly in
the morning. Allowing your frustration to show may only make
kids less fond of mornings, so
remind them as nicely as possible
that everyone has a schedule to
stick to if they seem to be dragging their feet.
• Keep the television off. If
watching the television is
ingrained in your morning routine, try going a few days without
it to see if this makes it easier to
get out the door on time. Kids
might grow distracted by morning cartoons, and even adults
may get caught up in morning
news shows or other forecasts.
Eliminating television from your
morning routine can save time
and also may help your family
grow closer, as you will have
more distraction-free time to
speak to one another. In addition
to turning off the television, resist
the urge to turn on your devices
or scan work emails when getting
ready in the morning.
Parents know that school day
mornings can be hectic. But there
are several ways to make such
mornings go more smoothly so
everyone gets where they need to
be on time.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL
BIDDERS:
If
you
are
considering bidding on this
property lien, you should
understand that there are risks
involved in bidding at a trustee
auction. You will be bidding on a
lien, not on the property itself.
Placing the highest bid at a
trustee auction does not
automatically entitle you to free
and clear ownership of the
property. You should also be
aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior
lien. If you are the highest bidder
at the auction, you are or may be
responsible for paying off all
liens senior to the lien being
auctioned off, before you can
receive clear title to the property.
You
are
encouraged
to
investigate the existence, priority,
and size of outstanding liens that
may exist on this property by
contacting the county recorder's
office or a title insurance
company, either of which may
charge you a fee for this
information. If you consult either
of these resources, you should be
aware that the same lender may
hold more than one mortgage or
deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE
TO
PROPERTY
OWNER: The sale date shown on
this notice of sale may be
postponed one or more times by
the mortgagee, beneficiary,
trustee, or a court, pursuant to
Section 2924g of the California
Civil Code. The law requires that
information about trustee sale
postponements be made available
to you and to the public, as a
courtesy to those not present at
the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been

postponements that are very short
in duration or that occur close in
time to the scheduled sale may
not immediately be reflected in
the telephone information or on
the Internet Web site. The best
way to verify postponement
information is to attend the

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CALEXICO REGARDING VACATION OF
ALLEYWAY
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of
Calexico will hold a Public Hearing at the City Hall Council
Chambers, 608 Heber Avenue, Calexico, California 92231, on
Tuesday, September 1, 2015, at 6:30 PM (or as soon thereafter as
the agenda permits), to consider approval of the following item:
SUBJECT:
The vacation and closure, pursuant to Chapter 3 of
Part 3 of Division 9 of the California Streets and
Highways Code, of a public alleyway more
particularly described as follows:
That twenty-foot (20') wide by one-hundred-thirty-foot (130') long
alley in Block 30, Townsite of Calexico, lying
between Fifth Street and Sixth Street, off Paulin
Avenue, running east-west, as per the amended
Map of the Townsite of Calexico filed in Book 58,
page 43, of Official Maps, in the office of the
County Recorder, Imperial County, California.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: The proposed
vacation of the alleyway is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061, subsection (b)(3), of Title 14 of the California
Code of Regulations, because it can be seen with certainty that the
