VOL. 112 NO. 1 IMPERIAL COUNTY, CA. 92250 THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 2016 Norma Aguilar Returns To Calexico School Board By Mario Conde The Calexico School Board appointed Norma Aguilar to fill the vacant seat at the Board of Trustees. The Calexico School Board had a special meeting this week to interview candidates that apply for the appointment for eleven months. The seat became vacant late last year when Letty Zuno resigned for personal reasons. Zuno's term was going to end December 2016 and had to run for reelection in November. Eight candidates applied for the position and went before the board to be considered. The applicants where Norma Aguilar, Bill Hodge, Orlando Espino, Victor Legaspi, Michael Castillo, Vincent Cuevas, Javier Moreno and Kalahan Ramirez. The candidates made their opening statements and answered a series of questions of what would they do if elected and what are their qualifications. The time came for the board to nominate a candidate for appointment and each board member wrote the name of a per- son they feel was qualified for the position. In the first round no candidate received the majority of votes having candidate Orlando Espino being nominated twice but the board deadlocked 22. In the second round, Norma Aguilar was nominated and the board voted 3-1 with Trustee Ciro Calderon voting against. Aguilar was then sworn in by Superintendent Maria Ambriz. The members of the Board thanked all the candidates for their participation and their willingness to serve the student population. Trustee Aguilar said she is looking forward to working with the board during this upcoming year. "My goal is to identify ways to support the education of the students. There are classrooms that don't have up to date text books and make sure that every teacher that is placed here has the proper support in their classroom and particularly in classroom management." Aguilar said. This will be Aguilar's second term as a school board trustee in Calexico. Aguilar was elected to the Calexico School Board in 2010 during a critical time for the District and served until 2014.

A family of seven, including a newborn, had been notified of the fire by a neighbor and vacated the structure. After vacating, they could hear a dog barking from inside the burning house. According to Chief Silva, the building was constructed with lath and plaster with chicken IMPERIAL COUNTY FIRE Department helps Holtville Fire in knocking down the flames of a house fire on Sunday, Jan. 3rd. wire. The walls were thick, which provided a lot of fuel for the fire. Chief Silva called for backup from Imperial County. As the firefighters began to fight the fire, a little girl came up to Chief Silva and said that her dog was inside and could he please have someone try to go in and get it. Chief Silva had one of the firefighters put on oxygen and go into the building. There was so much smoke by this time the firefighter was unable to locate the animal. The fire continued to increase and was difficult to battle, so Chief Silva requested a ladder truck from the County. After a little while the barks from the dog could no longer be heard. Chief Silva also learned that the little girl that owned the dog had also just lost her father within the last couple of weeks. Chief Silva shared that the little girl would come up to him about every fifteen minutes to ask about her dog. Says Chief Silva, "I was struggling in letting her know that her dog didn't make it, but after a while I went up to her and explained to her that her father would now need to take care of her dog.” The ladder truck from the Imperial County Fire Department arrived and was able to make progress in extinguishing out the fire from the top. The fire took about three hours to extinguish and when it was safe, Chief Silva sent in Holtville Firefighter Bradley Kaufman to retrieve the remains of the animal. Firefighter Kaufman was inside for quite some time, then finally exited the burnt structure holding a blanket in his arms. He had a huge smile on his face. The dog had survived the fire. Kaufman presented the dog to the little girl. Chief Silva was concerned on the condition of the dog due to all of the smoke and heat from the fire, so he wanted to get the dog checked out by a veterinarian. He called the emergency number Continued on page 6 Brawley’s Rock Cafe Closes After A Decade At The Plaza By Chris Furguson While many businesses in Brawley have spectacular openings, with ribbon cuttings and lots of local dignitaries around, most fade away or disappear without warning or much notice. This fact hit one of Brawley's most popular businesses recently, which closed it's doors after over a decade of service. The Rock Coffee Shop and Cafe, a mainstay of Brawley's Downtown Plaza area for the past ten years, shuttered its doors on December 31, 2015, after more than ten years in operation, citing the building owner's desire to build a new business in the location.

Upon arrival, the Holtville Fire Department could see the flames coming through the attic over the patio. Chief Silva arrived shortly after and STORIES INSIDE! Riley, placed on the front door of the building. The note included words of thanks to the residents of the city for keeping the place going for just over a decade and to wish success upon the new incoming business. Items featured at the cafe included high quality coffee drinks, baked goods and a small restaurant serving burgers and pressed sandwiches. The Rock was also a gathering place for locals and hosted several small events, including concerts and book signings, inside the building. It was also a hangout for high school kids and coffee fans not wanting their drinks from a national chain. The cafe's name came from a passage in the Bible, Matthew 7:25, which reads: The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. It was rumored that a sports bar will replace the coffee shop. The Rock’s owners are also looking for a “suitable location,” should they choose to reopen the coffee shop and cafe.

Brawley Council Postpones Discussion On Impact Fee Increases By Chris Furguson The Brawley City Council tabled a planned discussion on Water and Wastewater impact fee increases for new construction during their meeting on Tuesday, January 5, 2016. The item was pulled from the meeting during the "approval of the agenda" portion by Council Member Sam Couchman. Council members can request changes be made to the agenda and items have been removed from agendas for future consideration or if city staff needs addi- tional time to make a recommendation. The item, which would raise water and wastewater impact fees for developers, was approved several years ago, subject to an annual review to see if the economy and other factors would allow the implementation of the fee increases. Efforts from the local developers and the area building industry have stalled implementation of the fees until this point. Developers and other officials were on hand to protest the potential changes, but left satis- fied once the delay was approved by the council. Developer fees are imposed on new construction to pay for needed improvements to the city's infrastructure. The majority of fees imposed on developers involve new road improvements, additional officers and water and sewer pipes. The item is expected to return to the agenda in April.

Imperial City Manager Marlene Best said that the authorized water and sanitary sewer pipeline extensions would have occurred in two locations approximately ¼ mile apart, to the east of the project site, on the opposite side of State Route 86. Both of these locations lie within the jurisdiction of the City of Imperial. "During subsequent review of the existing system, it was discovered that the proposed infra- structure alignment would not adequately provide the necessary fire flow to serve the future hotel and commercial project at the Alliance Regional Center." She said. On June 15, 2015, the County of Imperial received a letter from the City of Imperial formally inviting the County to become co-applicant of the project to mitigate any encroachment issues. This new infrastructure will be entirely owned and operated by the City of Imperial as part of the City's overall utility system. With the approval of the MOU, the grant project may now move forward.

The rain and wind did not stop the celebration of artist Eddie Shiffer who unveiled the new arts paining around the chamber office as part of the "Arts in Public Places" initiative. This is Shieffer's second mural project in Calexico. "Ms. Carrillo wanted something fun and colorful and our theme was to put a lot of color and a lot of movement and have people pay attention to the building." Shiffer said. Shiffer, an art teacher from El Centro, has been painting for many years and made his transition to mural painting afterwards. Hildy Carrillo, Executive Director of the Calexico Chamber of Commerce, said that she wanted something different of the building and not the typical artist vision of the border town. "His mural was the most interesting for us and it fit the location perfectly and I loved what he presented." Carrillo said. The Mural Project mission is to promote the creative expression of local artist and provide an enriching visual experience to residents and visitors of Calexico. The Calexico Arts Commission has developed the guidelines for implementation of this project. The Commission encourages artist to participate in various areas of town to produce beautiful works of art, while discouraging graffiti. The Commission is using $3,000 in funds from the "Arts in Public Places" account to offer a stipend to each artist. The project would be done in cycles, with the maximum of three mural per cycle, and two cycles per year. The Arts Commission will serve as the selection committee for the selection of the murals and will also monitor their progress. All murals will be cho- sen based on the widest diversity of ideas and visuals impact. The murals will be placed on specifically designated walls throughout the city. The mural areas may vary in size between 6'x 8’ and 6' x 20' For more information contact the Librarian Sandra Tauler at (760) 768-2170 to submit an application or learn more about the mural project. Photos on page 9 IID Delegation Headed To Sacramento For Salton Sea Hearing A delegation of members of the Imperial Irrigation District Board of Directors and the Imperial County Board of Supervisors will appear before the State Water Resources Control Board at a public workshop during the board’s regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 5, where the water board will receive updates regarding the status of actions identified by the Salton Sea Task Force. IID General Manager Kevin Kelley and Imperial County Chief Executive Officer Ralph Cordova Jr. will present at the workshop, providing an update on the IID/Imperial County Salton Sea Restoration and Renewable Energy Initiative, as well as seek information from the Salton Sea Task Force about what its next steps and plans are. In a joint letter to the Water Resources Control Board, IID and the county recognize that successfully addressing the challenges at the Salton Sea will not be completed in 2016 and, therefore, suggest that the protection of public health and the environment in Imperial and Riverside counties “should be a long-term commitment by the state of California, working with our agencies and other regional partners.” The immediate task for 2016, the Imperial delegation suggests, is to develop a long-term plan and transparent partnership. “IID and the county of Imperial propose that the State Water Board require the four agencies that have been invited to present at the Jan. 5, 2016, workshop to collaborate – in an open and transparent process – with key stakeholders to develop and present a long-term management and restoration plan for the Salton Sea to the board and the California Air Resources Board no later than Dec. 15, 2016,” the letter states. To review the full letter, visit: http://www.iid.com/Home/Show Document?id=11449 IID General Manager Kevin Kelley said he is pleased the State Water Board has decided to hold this follow-up workshop and is encouraged by the water board’s continued involvement. “We’re looking forward to providing an update on action’s related to the Salton Sea Restoration and Renewable Energy Initiative and, from IID’s standpoint, find out what has been done and where we can see more state involvement related to overall restoration.” The Imperial delegation further encourages the State Water Board to remain involved as it should play a key role in ensuring milestones and real progress are achieved. Imperial County Chief Executive Officer Ralph Cordova Jr. said that, while good steps have been taken, there are things the delegation intends to “bring to light.” The joint presentation “will put a strong emphasis on the consequences if the state doesn’t step up their efforts to fulfill its promise of restoring the sea,” Cordova said. “We will touch on the expectations of what the sea would look like if the playa continues to recede.” The board “will be able to learn about the potential negative impacts to the area if no action is taken to restore the Salton Sea.” Tuesday’s Salton Sea workshop by the State Water Board is the first since last March. In addition to hearing from the Imperial delegation, the State Water Board expects updates from the following agencies: • California Natural Resources Agency regarding efforts to improve public outreach and local partnerships and implement habitat creation and dust suppression projects; • Colorado River Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding efforts to improve water quality in major tributaries to the Salton Sea; • California Air Resources Control Board regarding efforts to address air quality impacts from the Salton Sea; and, • California Energy Commission regarding consideration of renewable energy opportunities at and around the Salton Sea and the region. A broadcast of the meeting will be available at: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/.

The Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and Interactive Web Response Systems (IWR), available in English and Spanish, provide a convenient and direct method for court users to locate their court case, understand their options, and immediately pay monies onto their case. The impact of this innovative service to the public is expected to be profound, given that currently eight full-time staff persons take money payments over the phone during the hours of 8-4 Monday-Friday only. “This new bilingual system puts innovative tools and current technology directly in the hands of court users to pay their fines and fees at any time of the day or night,” Court Executive Officer Tammy L. Grimm stated. “These straightforward, uncomplicated options for 24/7 payments require nothing more than a telephone, smart phone, or access to a computer to enter basic information to find and retrieve their case. We think the public will be thrilled that they can now make payments on their cell phones and smart phones.” Grimm continued, “In an era where dwindling public resources often results in reduced public services, I am pleased we are able to create increased accessibility to the Court now with these options.” The IVR/IWR systems will give the public information and specify whether or not the person is eligible for proof of correction, or traffic school, or a 30 day extension. It will provide general court information, education on the options available, and calculate the fine based upon the option that is selected. For people making payments on their fine, it will provide the fine balance. The system streamlines processes in accounting, cashiering, and operations. It will reduce manual processes, giving the Court added resources to support the various CDCR Searching For Two Escapees From San Diego Halfway House California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) officials are looking for two women who walked away from the Custody to Community Transitional Reentry Program (CCTRP) in San Diego.

The CCTRP provides a range of rehabilitative services that assist with alcohol and drug recovery, employment, education, housing, family reunification and social support. CCTRP staff was alerted at 7:31 p.m. Monday, Jan. 4, that King and Mendez had removed their ankle monitors, and a facility-wide search for the women was immediately conducted. All local law enforcement agencies have been notified and are assisting in the search and apprehension efforts. King, 28, is a black female, 5 feet, 10 inches tall, weighing 175 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. She was received by CDCR on Feb. 19, 2014, to serve five years for a second-degree robbery conviction in Riverside County. She had been participat- ing in CCTRP since November 2014. She was scheduled to be paroled in October 2016. Mendez, 20, is a Hispanic female, 5 feet, 2 inches tall, weighing 190 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She was received by CDCR on Oct. 1, 2014, to serve a seven-year sentence for an assault with a deadly weapon conviction in Yolo County. She had been participating in CCTRP since September 2015. She was scheduled to be paroled in February 2017. Anyone with information regarding either of these women is asked to call (916) 464-4169 or local law enforcement. work of the Court. The system, which is smart phone compatible, was first proposed by Ralph Meza, Technology Manager and Terri Darr, Court Finance Manager in 2014. Betsy Ordonez, Accounting Supervisor, has worked tirelessly over the last 18 months absorbing most of the testing responsibility. Says Ordonez, “It is exciting to see all the hard work come to fruition. The Call Center staff is pleased with the enhancement as it allows them to process incoming calls more efficiently. This bilingual tool is a nice improvement.” On January 4, the IVR/IWR system will go live for traffic and infraction cases. The system should be live for criminal cases by the end of January 2016.

Old El Centro Walmart Area Seeing New Life With New Construction By Chris Furguson The City of El Centro has been seeing some construction near the original Wal-Mart location on Imperial Avenue between Cruickshank and Bradshaw over the past few months. While construction projects are becoming more and more commonplace around the Valley, with new buildings getting built all the time, the location is what some in the area is calling "interesting." "It's nice to see something new come to the area," said one resident shopping in the are. "We haven't seen much happening in this part of the city for a while." The new incoming businesses to the "Old Wal-Mart" area include: • Aldi Grocery Stores: A cooperative style grocery store that requires customers to bring their own bags and to put 25¢ deposits on grocery carts in order to keep prices low. This new Aldi will be located across a frontage road from the nearby Payless Shoe Source and the Farmer Boys fast food restaurant. Another Aldi store is currently being built in Calexico. • Ross Dress For Less: Expected to be located inside half of the original Wal-Mart location, the new Ross Dress For Less will feature clothing at a higher discount than at normal "department" stores. PetSmart: A high end pet store that offers specialty supplies and training services. This will occupy the other half of the old Wal-Mart. Additionally, a new building located at the southeastern por- tion of the parking lot is being built, but there are no planned tenants for the location. There is also a housing development being built to the east of the nearby Target shopping store. The last new construction to take place in the area was a Tractor Supply store on Bradshaw Avenue near the new Wal-Mart SuperCenter. Prior to that construction, the newest buildings were built across Imperial Avenue, which includes the Broken Yolk Café, and the El Centro Fire Station #3, also found on Bradshaw Avenue. It is not known what will happen to the Ross and PetSmart locations near the Imperial Valley Mall, if they will remain open with their sister locations or if they'll close when the new stores are ready to open. AN ALDI GROCERY store is being built at the old Wal-Mart area in El Centro, along with other stores. Chris Furguson Photo. Tribune-Weekly-Chronicle Thursday, January 7, 2016 PAGE 05 The Latest News By Mario Conde I would like to start this column by thanking Stephen Larson for giving me the opportunity to write for the Calexico Chronicle seven years ago. It was on July 2008 when Mr. Larson hired me to be part of a historical newspaper that has served Calexico for 111 years. Stephen Larson was a respected figure in the Imperial Valley and will be missed. Rest in Peace. A New Year has started filled with hope and a chance for a new beginning. This year will be a very intense one in the Imperial Valley as we will have election for Calexico City Council, Imperial Irrigation District, Calexico School Board, Heffernan Memorial Board, IVC Board, and County Supervisor. Election time is something that I enjoy because as someone that studied Political Science, I look forward to see the candidates come forward and hear what they have to say to bring policy that bring positive change to their constituents. Mostly, I enjoy watching the candidates and how they run their campaigns. It is the campaign strategy and decision that make that I pay close attention too when there is a political campaign. It it's fun to see who the candidates listen when they are campaigning and talking to people. For the Imperial Irrigation District race it will be different this year since it will now be district-only instead of valley wide. Each board member will be elected from the division in which he or she resides by the voters of that division. The boundary changes will be presented to the Looking Forward To 2016 Elections county registrar of voters before the Dec. 9 deadline, qualifying for the June 2016 primary election. Divisions 2 and 4 will be up for election in June 2016. Division 4 now covers most of Calexico and will be up for grabs this year. As its normal in Calexico, there will be a long list of candidates that will be running in the next election. It's been said former Calexico Mayor Bill Hodge will be running for IID and is preparing his campaign. Hodge recently retired from his post as a Calexico High School teacher last month after more than 20 years as Calexico teachers. All the best to Mr. Hodge in his retirement! The one race I obviously will look forward too is the Calexico City Council race this November. Mayor Joong Kim, Mayor Pro Tem Luis Castro and Councilman John Moreno term will expire this year and in the next couple of months they will have to decide if they want to run once again. There are different version on the street saying that the three or at least two of them will not be seeking re-election. It's too early to tell and they still have several months to decide if they are going to a third term. Three seats will be open this year so expect lots of candidates to run and lots of money to be invested in the campaigns. This election for Council will also be a crucial one for Calexico since it can change the balance of the council The Council has not improved its stability and ability to work together and having three new council members might bring the city into political calm. However, the new slate of council members need to be new people that have no ties with the current political groups. The problem with Calexico is that we have the same people running in every election cycle that are part of the circle of people that have put Calexico in this situation. Are we going to see the same names around town such as Castro, Romero, Ouzan, Moreno, Guzman, Reisen, and Hermosillo all over town asking for your vote? We live in a city of 45,000 and the same eight run every time and giving us the never ending story that Calexico will improve but it never does. Calexico will improve until they break the never ending recycling of candidates every election cycle. I'm not saying that the individuals I mentioned don't care about Calexico but its time to take a step back and let others take the lead. One year ago I predicted in one of my columns that a new young generation of politicians would rise by 2014 all over the Imperial Valley. Since then we have seen young politicians like Mandy Real, Priscilla Real, Tony Sandoval and Edgard Garcia involved in City Council and School Board in Calexico, Heber and El Centro. I believe the momentum will continue and I do believe that the millennial generation should take its place and step up to lead Calexico into a new prosperous time.

I Two Schools From Cities That Share Same Name Exchange Stories & Letters By Jim Predmore Last September as Holtville Fire Chief Alex Silva was preparing for the 911 Ceremony, he got an idea to contact the elementary school in Holtville, Alabama to see if they would like to join in the ceremony via Skype, which they did. The kids got so excited that Alex wanted to do more activities with the two schools from cities with the same name. Alex talked with 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Ramos and with 5th grade teacher Mr. Acosta and asked if their students would like to start sending letters to the stu- dents at the Alabama school. The teachers encouraged their students to do so. The 3rd and 5th grade students from Finley got busy and wrote letters and sent them off in October of last year. Chief Silva just received the first letters back from Holtville Elementary in Holtville, Alabama this week and will be delivering them to the students. The students from both schools will continue to communicate through these letters throughout the school year.

Holtville Fire........continued from page one HOLTVILLE FIREFIGHTER BRADLEY Kaufman reunited Kalee with her dog after Kaufman retrieved the animal from her burned home. Photo by Jim Predmore. for Valley Veterinary in El Centro. Chief Silva, Kalee, and her mother drove to El Centro to have the dog examined. Chief Silva explained the girl's situation. The veterinarian, Dr. Garry Nagra, drew blood, performed xrays and performed a complete exam and gave the dog a shot. He gave the dog back to its owner with a diagnosis of being okay and said that there was no charge for his services. The dog apparently had made its way to the kitchen portion of the house, which was the least affected by the fire, and hunkered down until it could be rescued. It was determined that the fire was caused by an electrical source that was identified at the location. In Holtville fashion Chief Silva treated Dr. Nagra to some George’s Pizza for lunch on Tuesday to thank him. a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

The Brawley Wildcats will be competiting for their 17th straight CIF-SDS wrestling divisional championship at the end of the upcoming season, along with their latest IVL title. However, BUHS Varsity Wrestling head coach Tony Leon, says that he has been struggling to find a full team this season. Injuries and other issues have been keeping some of his best grapplers off the mat for Brawley. “We should do well this year,” Leon said during a recent practice at the school's heated wrestling room, “but it's been a hassle to get a team set for this season.” Despite the issues, the team recently won their first tournament of the 2016 season at Mission Hills high school in San Marcos. Brawley came away from the tournament with 232.5 points overall, defeating 22 other schools with a 12-man team. Outstanding Wildcat wrestlers from that tournament included Victor Gonzalez (138), Ruben Elizalde (145 and Most Outstanding Lightweight), Daniel Jauregui Jr. (195) and Dane Martinez (220). Brawley's Junior Varsity and Freshmen teams also came to school from the holidays with a tournament victories. The junior varsity team won a similar tournament in Escondido while the freshmen team took home a win in a duals format tournament in Chula Vista. Brawley's first home meet of the season takes place against the Palo Verde Yellowjackets on Wednesday, January 13 at 7 pm at the Brawley campus. Brawley’s other home meets this year will be against the Calexico Bulldogs and the Holtville Vikings.
