VOL. 112 NO. 12 IMPERIAL COUNTY, CA. 92250 THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 2016 Calexico Council Hears City Budget Update By Mario Conde The Calexico City Council was given an update on the budget situation at their last City Council meeting. Acting Finance Director Eduardo Gutierrez and financial advisor Susan Meyer gave the council an update on how the City's financial situation is doing at this moment. Meyer said that there has been progress made since January 5, 2016 and worked on efforts that correct the budget deficit and the $6 million overspending from last year. Meyer said that they have converted the General Ledger system to the new springbook system, had multiple third party audits and reports filed, administrative cost allocated to program funds and have identified path to restore General Fund Balance. "The City is making slow but steady progress in restoring financial records, process, controls, and accuracy to support City Council financial policy direction, Meyer stated. She said the finance department staff has worked diligently to bring back the city finances on track so that the city can break even by June 30 of this year. Meyer said that they have included general administrative cost to this year's budget to have cost allocation across the board and recovered $700,000 from the 14-15 Fiscal Year and recommended continuing with administrative cost allocation going forward to support city programs. During the 2014-15 Fiscal Year, the council approved a balanced budget but overspent $4 million and double counted Measure "H" funds twice. Meyer said $4.7 million were excess of expenditures over revenues, half of that was due to the double counting of Measure "H" revenues; $2 million overspending over revenues and $1 million was done on police investigations. Meyer recommended the Council to discuss with this Measure H committee the use available $11,860,000 bond processes and use it to reimburse the city for use of eligible capital activity during the current year so $678,000 would be transferred as a surplus to General Fund. The Council decided to bond against Measure H funds in 2013 to raise money for capital improvement projects such as the new fire station, swimming pool, and parks and recreation improvements.

Last Wednesday, March 16, Calexico Mission School hosted FMA Live! Forces in Motion. The popular show incorporates hip-hop music and dancers with student volunteers and on-stage, interactive science experiments to demonstrate how physics plays a role in everyday life. Since the program's creation in 2004, the FMA Live! cast has performed before 455,000 students in more than 1,150 schools from all 48 contiguous U.S. states, as well as in Mexico and Canada. During the FMA Live! event students, teachers and school administrators interact with three professionals actors in front of a live audience to experience Newton's law firsthand.

Mission School P.E. Teacher Chris Sauder was one of the teachers that participated in the show and wrestle another teacher to illustrate that force is determined by mass multiplied by acceleration. "I think they applied a lot of life principles so that students can apply it in their everyday lives, Sauder said. "It was fun to participate and wrestle and added a whole different dimension and kids loved it." Student Jazmin Corral, 5th grade at Saint Mary's School, said she enjoyed the event and learning about science. "It’s really fun and educational and I learned the three laws of gravity, Corral said. Cast member John James spoke about the program and how it has inspired many students to look into careers in science and physics. "We want to inspire middle school children to pursue careers in science and technology. Fortunately, we have heard from teachers that their students have gone to pursue careers in science, something they thought was out of reach from them."

Clinicas De Salud To Receive Federal Funds For Substance Abuse Services Health Center Partners (HCP), a premier consortium of primary care organizations in Southern California, today announced four of its member health centers received combined funding of more than $1.4 million from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to improve and expand substance abuse services. Administered by the HHS Health Resources and Services Administration, the grants to San Diego community health centers are part of $94 million in Affordable Care Act funding awarded to 271 health centers in 45 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to help treat opioid and heroin abuse, a rising epidemic in the United States. “Substance abuse is one of the most pressing challenges facing the health of our communities today,” said Henry Tuttle, CEO of Health Center Partners. “Studies have shown that a holistic approach to health care, one that combines substance abuse services, behavioral health and primary health care under one roof, is most effective in increasing overall patient health. We applaud our health center members’ success in bringing millions of dollars in federal funding to San Diego, Imperial and Riverside counties and look forward to continued cooperation, facilitated in part through our subsidiary, Health Quality Partners, to help treat substance use disorders and reach even more lives.” According to HHS, approximately 4.5 million people in the United States used non-medical prescription pain relievers in 2013. The number of unintentional overdose deaths from prescription pain medications nearly quadrupled from 1999 to 2013, and deaths related to heroin increased by 39 percent between 2012 and 2013. The HHS health center funding awards will enable key substance abuse services to be more readily available, supporting access to treatment for approximately 124,000 new patients nationwide. The following Health Center Partners members received individual awards from HHS to increase the number of patients screened for substance use disorders and connect them to appropriate treatments: • Clinicas de Salud del Pueblo, Inc. received $406,250 • La Maestra Community Health Centers received $379,167 • Neighborhood Healthcare received $325,000 • Vista Community Clinic received $325,000 In total, $1,435,417 has been awarded to Health Center Partners members, building on the consortium’s successful track record of providing access to quality primary and behav- ioral health care, substance abuse treatment and related services for Southern California’s diverse communities. “Our collaboration with Health Center Partners continues to be invaluable in terms of advocating for the health care needs of the ‘safety net’ population in our communities, and ensuring we have access to federal financial resources to respond to emerging medical issues in our region,” noted Zara Marselian, CEO of La Maestra Community Health Centers. “As one of 17 HCP member health centers, it is evident that we are better together, and that our voice is amplified when we share a unified vision for how best to effectively serve the most vulnerable residents of San Diego County and surrounding regions.” Health Quality Partners (HQP), a subsidiary of Health Center Partners, has worked with health centers on integrated behavioral health for the last nine years. While most of the focus has been on intra-clinic integration and cross-system integration of mental health services, HQP will facilitate additional, on-going technical assistance on medication assisted treatment of substance use disorders in 2016 and beyond.

Tribune-Weekly-Chronicle Thursday, March 24, 2016 PAGE 03 Brawley Council Gives Permit Relief For Restaurant By Chris Furguson During their meeting on March 15, 2016, the City Council of Brawley waived certain zoning reqirements for the Las Chabelas restaurant, located along Highway 86 south of the main city. The waived requirements include fully paving a patch of land for air quailty mitigation purposes and fully paving a nearby alleyway. Las Chabelas Restaurant is currently expanding their business through a Local Entity grant, including an outdoor area at the rear of the property for dining and entertainment purposes. However, the expansion also triggers a number of development requirements from the City’s ordinances and Municipal Code. Specifically, the city code requires air mitigation through a fully paved parking lot as well as a full rehabilitation of the entire nearby alleyway or blocked access to said alley. For the parking lot, the permit requirements include 8 inches of compacted soil along with 2 inches of asphalt. Currently, the restaurant has a parking lot consisting of asphalt grindings on its native soil which does not meet city requirements. The alleyway would have also needed to be blocked from the restaurant’s parking lot in order to waive the When notified of the triggered requirements, Las Chabelas owners and operators made the quest for relief. Citing a need for alleyway access to the restaurant’s parking lot, due to safety concerns over the restaurant’s main entrance that connects directly to Highway 86, and the unfair The City Council unanimously approved the waiver, citing the popularity of the restaurant and their desire to remain friendly to incoming and local businesses.

Each park will receive two new large aluminum bleachers for their main sports fields. Each bleacher will cost just over $18,500, for a total of $74,261,60 after taxes. Since the purchase order waas was larger than $15,000, the City Manager’s authorization amount, the council had to approve the expenditure The council approved the purchase without discussion. The budget adjustment was approved at the February 16, 2016 meeting. March Imperial Market Days Focuses On Car Show Imperial County Social Services Hosts Open House For New Mobile Office On Tuesday, March 22, 2016, the Imperial County Department of Social Services (ICDSS) hosted an open house for their new Mobile Office highlighting ICDSS’ efforts of “Reaching Out to Our Community” at the County Administration Center parking lot in El Centro. The Imperial County Board of Supervisors took a scheduled break from their regularly scheduled board meeting to visit and tour the Mobile Office and learn about the extensive services that will be provided from the unit to residents in outlying areas of the county. “This is a giant step in providing the residents in the outlying areas of Imperial County with services from the Department of Social Services,” said District 1 Supervisor John Renison. “The idea here is to go to where the greatest areas of need are and provide assistance to the residents of Imperial County that are limited in their ability to travel great distances to obtain much needed County services.” “It’s wonderful to see the outstanding product that we have here today,” stated District 5 Supervisor Ray Castillo. “The Mobile Office will advance the County’s efforts to increase access to vital services and programs that will improve the quality of life for our residents while strengthening community partnerships.” The Board, County staff and members of the public took the opportunity to tour the new unit that includes a comfortable waiting area, an ADA accessible restroom and two workstations that will be staffed by experienced program technicians who are able to complete eligibility determinations, process benefits applications and changes to active cases, and receive documents for MediCal and other Social Services programs in remote locations. The Mobile Office will also enable ICDSS staff to supplement current outreach efforts and can be utilized as a disaster response vehicle to efficiently respond to impacted areas throughout the county in the event of an emergency. “Through the support of our County’s leadership, we are proud of this accomplishment to implement a mobile office and demonstrate our commitment to efficient and effective use of resources,” said Social Services Director Peggy Price. Last year, the Board of Supervisors approved the purchase of a mobile vehicle to increase access points and provide on-site services to communities in outlying areas who have difficulty accessing services.

Budget..................................................from page one "If the council chooses to do a bond draw against Measure H bond proceeds, you can restore cash balance on the Measure H operating fund that will be available to bring your General Fund to zero balance, Meyer said. Meyer said if the council should draw from the bonds they will not have the $1 million for the swimming pool. However, Meyer said they will still have bond proceeds and might be funds available from the successor agency to strategize on how to contribute to the swimming pool project at the High School. Councilwoman Maritza Hurtado asked if the lowering of impact fees have affected this budget. Meyer said they need to have conservative projection on the impact fees revenues and enough to cover city expenditures. Councilman Mandy Real thanked Acting Finance Director Eduardo Gutierrez, Susan Meyer, and Acting City Manager Nick Fenley for doing a good job in restoring the city's finances and doing more in six months than what the past two administrations have done. "You deserve a round of applause for bringing our city from a grim look to where we are right now. We now know where we are and how we can be in a better place, Real said. Finance Commission Meetings During the March 15 meeting, Finance Advisory Board Chair Alex Perrone and commissionaire Manuel Yanez went before the council and said that their finance commission meetings have been cancelled as of late. Perrone said that they are giving their time to serve the city and advised them during this financial situation. "We dedicate our time, our skills, for nothing. The council should tell Mr. Fenley that he cannot stop our meetings, Perrone said and added that their recommendation is to have a state of fiscal emergency because, according to him, the city is not being honest to employees about the real financial situation of the city. Councilman John Moreno and Councilman Mandy Real apologized for the cancellation of the meetings and said they should honor and support the meetings so they can collaborate with the city. AS PER THE usual, Market days included booths selling food and providing information on local services. Lisa Middleton Photos.

In other news, the Imperial County Board of Supervisors pulled from their agenda an action item that would endorse the concept of dormitories for the SDSU Calexico Campus. On February 2, 2016, Ron Holley, of R.H. Properties, presented to the Board of Supervisors his San Diego State University Imperial Valley Campus Dormitory Project. The project is proposed to be constructed in the three phases including seven dormitories (250 units with 561), a food service and exercise facility. The project is to be sited immediately south of SDSU Campus across the street in Rockwood Plaza. While the Board provided direction to support the project "in concept," concerns were voiced over the need of adequate parking, the conversion/loss of Rockwood Plaza area and the fact that the Calexico City Council had not yet had an opportunity to assess the project. At the March 15 meeting the letter of support was on consent agenda and was pulled by Supervisor Ryan Kelley for discussion. County CEO Ralph Cordova asked to be taken from the agenda for a later date. This past Tuesday, the letter came back as an action item but Cordova asked the board to pull it off from the agenda again to consider if would come back for a future meeting or not discuss it at all. U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the El Centro Station arrested a previously deported registered sex offender near Mount Signal on Sunday. At approximately 8:40 a.m., agents observed a man walking north from the International Border fence near Mount Signal Road. Upon making contact with the man, agents determined that he was illegally present in the United States. Records checks revealed the man, a 35-year-old citizen of El Salvador, was convicted of sexual abuse of a minor in the state of Texas and subsequently removed from the United States in 2009. "This arrest is a testament to the vital role that the men and women of the El Centro Sector play in safeguarding our nations borders," said Michael B. Sullivan, Patrol Agent in Charge of the El Centro Border Patrol Station. The man will be criminally prosecuted for Re-Entry After Removal as a convicted sex offender and is being held at the Imperial County Jail. In fiscal year 2016, El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents have arrested eight convicted sex offenders attempting to re-enter the United States after removal. The El Centro Sector's Community Awareness Campaign is a simple and effective program to raise public awareness on the indicators of crime and other threats. We encourage public and private sector employees to remain vigilant and play a key role in keeping our country safe. Please report any suspicious activity to the Border Community Threat Hotline at 1800-901-2003.

Acts of pure evil, like these bombings, are solely designed to instill fear and hatred. This cannot be allowed to happen, whether they happen to our allies or ourselves. We hope that the official government response is reasonable and that all of us can prove that a civilized way of life is better than acts of terror and barbarism. WITH THE COMING of Spring to the Imperial Valley comes more and more complaints about the weather, specifically the incoming heat of summer. We’re probably beating a dead horse with a dead drum, but please make sure you check and service your air conditioners as well as make sure your fans and other cooling devices are in good working order. Always have a back up plan if you do have to travel in the heat, such as extra money to spend at a local restaurant or store when the heat becomes too unbearable and you need to seek shelter. You’ll help the local economy while you save your life! The County of Imperial and the Imperial Irrigation District will be releasing a list of cool centers where you can drink water and cool off from the summer heat for free. Please be safe and take advantage of these free or inexpensive opportunities. Proper preparation prevents problems, period. Supervisor’s Corner With John Renison I am pleased to announce the awarding of several grants to various community groups in District 1. The recipients include the Calexico Boxing Academy, Little League, Desert Girls Softball League and Calexico 4H. . They are all well deserved due to their community service and availability for our youth especially in after school programs. In recent weeks I have posted pictures of the awardees. Once again congratulations. If you are a non-profit organization service District 1, send me an email describing your organization and request for funding. The annual Renewable Energy Summit was held in early March with a great attendance. Some of the sessions included an update on the industry in general and other topics related. We are at the top of the heap when it comes to renewable energy projects. We are on target to providing the 2030 renewable energy goals for the State of California. Our renewable energy projects employ hundreds during construction and that means money circulating in our economy. More projects are on the horizon. OVER THE PAST weekend, we spent some time at a small convention called “Hanadoki-Con” at the Town & Country Resort in San Diego. (See story on page 11) Hanadoki means “flowering season” in Japanese and it’s theme, “Festival Of Flowers” refers to the annual Cherry Blossom viewings that are still huge in the “land of the Rising Sun.” In keeping with the theme, a sensei specializing in traditional Japanese activities like the tea ceremony and flower arranging (ikebura) joined a slew of guests whose focus was on more modern aspects of Japanese culture (like anime, manga and video games). We have to say that this was a pleasant change from the usual convention experience, which tends to be an overcrowded blend of chaos and strict control. HAVING SPENT THE weekend in San Diego among interested parties, feelings towards the proposed Chargers Stadium in the Downtown area of the city have become quite interesting over the past couple of months. For those not aware, the proposed move by the Chargers and the Oakland Raiders to a stadium in Carson, California was rejected by the National Football League owners. This led the Chargers to come back to San Diego and make a genuine effort to work with the city and residents to build a new stadium. Their preferred proposal would be to build a multi-use convention center extension and stadium, called the “Convadium” by locals, adjacent to Petco Park. This proposal has received mixed responses, to say the least, not to mention that a funding measure for the November ballot and a proposed transient occupancy tax increase needed to pay for this new stadium might not sit well with voters in America’s Finest City. After all, any campaign that seeks the good will of voters will need to battle a growing national trend against publicly funded stadiums and the negative feelings the NFL and the Chargers left San Diego after the previous season ended. Other influences may include Comic-Con International, who have said that they want a contiguous expansion of the city’s Convention Center rather than a split facility. Additionally, neither the team nor the city own the land this proposed “convadium” will be built on and this complicates matters significantly. Needless to say, the Chargers have a lot of work to do to convince the voters of the merits of this proposal. We’ll just have to see what happens, won’t we? Until next time... County Delivers Donations To Locals Agrobaja was held in early March in Mexicali. With hundreds of exhibitors in attendance, Imperial County and the State of California participated for the first time. My thanks to Ag. Commissioner Connie Valenzuela for the hard work on setting up and being in attendance. Agrobaja is an annual event held to show the many farming and agricultural products from the entire country. The Mexicali-Imperial Valley Alliance meeting was held two weeks ago at the Imperial Valley Palms Barbara Worth Resort. A good turnout was present to hear about our joint efforts to work together to solve and discuss binational issues like the Port of Entry project. The Calexico Port of Entry project is currently under construction and will be completed in 2018. On a recent trip to Washington, D.C. I visited with various Congressional leaders including Juan Vargas, Martha McSally, Beto O’Rourke from the House side. We also discussed the banking crisis along the border. In a meeting with Senator John McCain and Senator Jeff Flake, both from Arizona, we had discussions regarding border infrastructure and extra pay consideration for CBP officers assigned to remote areas. I also attended the annual COLAB meeting in Brawley where Chairman Jack Terrazas and IID President Norma Sierra Galindo reported on the “State of the County”. Overall, we are working hard with IID and other State agencies to speed up the Salton Sea restoration. The “sea to sea” concept in my opinion is a viable and good long term option save the sea from becoming and ecological disaster. I join the rest of the Board of Supervisors in making a difference in 2016 with the homeless. We will make a dent in this problem and provide solutions. I would also like to prioritize assistance to the IV Food Bank in their quest for funding. This is a valleywide organization. Finally, I attended the San Diego State University “Taste of the Mystery” student scholarship fundraiser at the Imperial Center in Heber. The decoration was “abolition era” theme which took you back to those glory days of prohibition. It was a different twist for a major fundraising event for the Imperial Valley Campus. John R.

Tribune-Weekly-Chronicle Thursday, March 24, 2016 PAGE 11 Popular Arts Convenitons Not Limited To Major Summer Events By Chris Furguson Mention a “popular arts” convention to the average San Diego resident and they’ll likely start talking about the big San Diego Comic Con International, which takes place every July at the San Diego Convention Center in the city’s Downtown district. However, the perception that these gatherings only happen at the bigger conventions is slowly changing thanks to the hard work and efforts of dedicated volunteers and fans. Smaller conventions that are focused on one or two topics (instead of a general genre) are taking place throughout the year at hotels. Hanadoki-Con, which took place at the Town and Country Hotel and Resort from March 18 through March 20, 2016, is one such convention. “Hanadoki” is a Japanese phrase that means “flowering season.” This year’s theme was “Festival of Flowers,” and refers to “hanami” or “cherry blossom” viewings that take place during the spring in Japan. In keeping with the theme, a specially trained “sensei” that specializes in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony (Chanoyu) and flower arranging (Ikebana) traveled to San Diego and performed her skills during the weekend. The traditional also met the modern Japanese trends with panels and showcases dedicated to Anime (Japanese animated television shows), Manga (Japanese graphic novels) and video games. Hotels and smaller convention centers appreciate a successful convention in their facilities. The increase in hotel and restaurant revenue and rentals of facilities and using local vendors, helps keep hotels open and busy. Similar gatherings take place nearly every weekend throughout the country. For example, Holtville artist Dave Garcia attended the “Blazing Desert Comic-Con” in San Luis, Arizona the same weekend as a guest of honor. The 2017 Hanadoki-Con is scheduled for April 14 - 16, 2017. THE CAPTAIN’S SAVVY Sing-A-Long Crew, a group that specializes in “nerd” sing-a-long music, performed at Hanadoki-Con this past weekend in San Diego. Photo by Chris Furguson.

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 postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 132863-11. Information about 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 scheduled sale.
