Growing up on an alfalfa farm her grand-parents passed on to her parents, U.S. PostalCarrier Julie Velasco remembers they alsoraised wheat and some cotton until the bollweevil infestation hit.

"My mom still has the property but most ofit is leased out," says Velasco, who is knownaround Holtville as the unofficial town histori-an. "When I was in school I didn't have anyinterest in history at all. But I'm nosy and Ialways want to know this and that."

Holtville is named for pioneer W. F. Holt, abanker who came west from Missouri forhealth reasons and purchased land from a trou-bled water development company in 1903. Hehad the foresight of what Imperial Valley couldbecome and imagined having a city east of theAlamo River, first named Holton, thenHoltville, which was incorporated in 1908.

"We had the first power plant and theremains are still visible near the Orchard Roadbridge behind the water tower," Velascoexplains. "It was really fancy. Some of the con-

Dual enrollment, in whichhigh school students take andreceive credit for college courses,has been in Imperial County for afew years but this academic yearit is available to Holtville HighSchool students for the first time.

The program is run in con-junction with Imperial ValleyCollege.

"Dual enrollment does not tryto persuade high school studentsto go to college, but takes themby the hand and says, 'Here yougo. This is what college is,'"explained Betsy Lane, IVC asso-ciate dean of special projects. "Inmy personal opinion, a post-sec-ondary education is the path toprosperity."

Lane arrived at the HoltvilleHigh library on Aug. 24 toexplain the program to studentsand parents. There were 30 slotsavailable for the fall-term class,which is Communications 100,and it was nearly at capacity.Classes are scheduled forWednesday from 2-5:35 p.m. at

Holtville High. Those on thewaiting list were advised toarrive the first day, which wasAug. 28.

In spring 2020, Psychology101 will be offered.

Dual enrollment is offered atfree tuition for students and theprogram is sponsored and fundedby the California CommunityCollege Chancellor's Office. Theclasses will be taught by IVCinstructors and maintain the samerigor as classes on the IVC cam-pus, stressed Lane. Textbookswill be loaned to students.

"Comm 100 is an awesomeclass and helps you deliver well-crafted presentations," said Lane."The instructor is Brett Kofford,an Imperial Valley legend."

Kofford is a professor at SanDiego State University, ImperialValley Campus, who also teachesat IVC, a successful screenwriterand former editor of ImperialValley Press.

Each year, IVC must identifythe courses needed, develop anagreement, have it approved bythe high school district and IVCboards after which it is presented

to the state Chancellor's Officefor approval.

Dual enrollment reduces col-lege costs and studies show stu-dents who complete such classesare far more likely to have betteracademic performance and attendcollege, noted Lane.

"If you're challenging your-self at this level, it's a confidencebooster," she said. "Some stu-dents are unaware they can besuccessful in college. This isespecially true for first-genera-tion college attendees. They don'tget the encouragement that stu-dents whose parents are collegegrads typically receive."

Dual enrollment also offersacademic choices many highschools do not ordinarily have,including political science, psy-chology, sociology, art historyand world religions.

In a slide-show presentation,Sandra Martinez, IVC studentsuccess specialist, cautioned stu-dents to make sure they have thetime to make the classes a priori-ty. A flyer she distributed listedall the IVC course offeringsaccepted for transfer by theCalifornia State University sys-tem, the University of Californiasystem, and those courses accept-ed by both.

"We're focused on general-education requirements and it's a

great way to get them out of theway by the time of high schoolgraduation," she said.

To participate in dual enroll-ment, high school sophomoresmust have a minimum 2.5 grade-point average and juniors andseniors at least a 2.0 GPA. ButMartinez warned students to takethe classes seriously. If a studentdecides a class is not a good fitthey have two weeks to withdrawwithout having the stigma of a"W" on their record.

Although a W does not harmthe GPA, it does affect the com-pletion rate that can hinder

acceptance at a transfer collegeor for graduate school. Poorcourse performance can alsoresult in scholastic probation orlack-of-progress probation thatcan lead to financial probation inwhich financial assistance can becut off.

However, if students findthemselves struggling with acourse there is help availablefrom IVC tutors. But tutoringassistance is not automatically setup with dual enrollment and ifcourse comprehension becomes a

Holtville Council Advocates EnergyChoices; Projects Proceeding

BY WILLIAM ROLLER

Stressing the need to pre-serve alternatives for con-sumers, the Holtville CityCouncil on Aug. 26 voted tooppose any state mandates tofully electrify future homes orbusinesses over the use of otherenergy sources such as naturalgas.

The unanimous vote cameagainst state Assembly Bill3001, defeated legislation thatwould have allegedly eliminat-ed energy consumption choicesfor new homes.

The aim of the legislationwas to achieve an emissionreduction of greenhouse gasesof 40 percent below 1990 levelsby 2030 and 80 percent belowthe 1990 levels by 2050 for res-idential and nonresidentialbuildings.

"Our principle reason is togive residents choice of theirprimary power supply," saidCity Manager Nick Wells. "Thefact the resolution also helpsreduce greenhouse gas emis-sions and deal with climatechange is an ancillary benefit."

Wells also pointed out theresolution does not take a posi-tion against electrification. Henoted costs of electrical appli-ances are greater than gas- gen-erated equipment. Also, fullelectrification is a burden forthose on a fixed income, theelderly and working families.

"The state's focus on electri-cal energy discourages invest-ment in alternative energysources," added Wells.

Council Member MikeGoodsell reinforced that argu-ment when he raised the ques-tion of how other energy tech-

nologies came into being. "It was through innovation,"

he said. "There can be no inno-vation if there is an electrifica-tion mandate."

Deborah McGarrey,Southern California Gas publicaffairs manager, spoke onbehalf of the industry.

"There are 40 percent ofbusinesses that still use naturalgas because it's still affordable,"she said. "There are 80 cities inCalifornia who signed our reso-lution supporting consumerchoice."

In other business:The council approved a

measure that grants the admin-istration and enforcement ofregulations for undergroundwater storage tanks and waterwells within the city limits toImperial County.

"Due to a gap in regulatoryoversight within incorporatedcities pertaining to water welland UST installations, the coun-ty of Imperial is offering draftresolutions to administer theseprograms within the incorporat-ed cities," said Wells. "Therewill be no fees assessed to thecity."

Wells added, "Given thelimited staffing at the city andvarying expertise in this area itmay be prudent to cede thisoversight to the county."

However, the city retainedthe option to resume authorityat a later date.

Meanwhile, plans are under-way to retrofit the city's watertreatment plant as minor corro-sion was found in the tank. Thiswas caused by trihalomethane, abyproduct of using traceamounts of chlorine to keepwater pure.

While no evidence of THMs

appeared in the last one and ahalf years, state regulatorswants the plant to retrofit tomitigate THMs, explainedWells.

"The state informed us we'llget the funding but we're wait-ing for document verificationand then will go out to bid withrequests for proposals," he said.

The developers of the pro-posed Fern Cross apartmentcomplex bounded by HoltAvenue, Fern Avenue andFourth Street submitted plansfor review to the city buildinginspector who made a few rec-ommendations and the develop-er is complying.

"They were out there recent-ly doing new surveys and soiltesting but still no word onwhen construction begins," saidWells.

The proposed DollarGeneral Store on Highway 115on the city’s west end movedcloser to reality due to discus-sions between the propertyowner/developer NNN RetailDevelopment and DollarGeneral, Wells added. NNNsubmitted its paperwork toDollar General, which gave agreen light to proceed in July.

"They told me three weeksago they submitted buildingplans to the building inspector(Javier Ortiz)," said Wells."Once he approves (three tofour weeks) they (NNN) canbegin construction."

In the opener, the Vikingsmanaged to secure a command-ing lead early only to see itnearly evaporate. WhileSalvatierra managed to makeno real progress, Holtville tooka 24-0 lead, with two touch-downs courtesy of JoseDevoux, and one by quarter-

back Noah Jongeward after ascramble.

The lead was challenged atthe very beginning of the thirdquarter, as Holtville fumbledthe ball on the kickoff return.The fumble led to Salvatierra'srecovery of the ball in verydangerous territory.

Salvatierra quickly scored.Shortly after, another unfortu-nate fumble on the Viking's 20-yard line led to anotherSalvatierra touchdown makingit 24-14.

With the lead diminishing,the Vikings faltered for thethird quarter and most of the

fourth, which ultimately led tothe score being 24-21early inthe fourth quarter.

The Vikings managed topull through at the end, howev-er, with Devoux delivering yetanother touchdown followed bya two-point conversion and a32-21 lead.

The lead came into questionagain when Salvatierra scoredanother touchdown with fourand a half minutes left on thefourth quarter. However, thiswould prove to be Salvatierra'slast score as the Vikings heldthem off the rest of the way fora narrow victory.

Gisele Valdovinos, aHoltville sophomore, attend-ed the orientation with hermother, Claudia Silva. Silvawas pleased Holtville canaccess the college courses forthe first time.

"Gisele is very commit-ted," said Silva. "She canadvance in college while stillin high school and she reallyknows what she wants."

Still undecided on a major,Gisele revealed she likes his-tory, is especially interestedin politics and on the adviceof an aunt is considering

attending college in Oregon. "I think dual enrollment is

a good opportunity and worthmaking time for. I'm aware ofthe higher standards of col-lege, but having my friends(from high school) it'll bemore comforting," Giselesaid.

Holtville High PrincipalAnthony Arevalo also calleddual enrollment a great oppor-tunity to offer students.

"I, and many of my col-leagues, never had thischance," he said. "Betweenthe Holtville guidance coun-selors and Betsy Lane, we'llprovide all the guidance stu-dents need to complete col-lege course work successful-ly."

A mostly vacant and finan-cially troubled commercial areanear Heber once touted as a vitaleconomic development projectmight soon be sold, according toa representative of the firm han-dling the matter.

The 79-acre ImperialRegional Center on Highway 111and Heber Road is at the center ofa 2018 lawsuit filed by ImperialCounty against its owner,Pacificland Investments Inc., andits chief executive, James Lo, torecoup about $4.3 million incounty loans.

The sprawling developmentcould fetch up to $20 million.

While it is home to a busyArco gas station and conveniencestore, its other businesses, includ-ing the once-popular Club Lohooand several restaurants, haveremained closed since early2019.

Kevin Singer of Los Angeles-based Receivership Specialists,which is handing the matter, saidin an Aug. 23 interview an offeron the table is the most serious hehas received on the property inthe 16 months since it was putunder his care by a judge as part

of the county’s lawsuit.The identity of the buyer and

the price being offered are confi-dential until a 90-day “due dili-gence” period is up soon and theinterested parties return to courtto move the process forward,Singer added.

Singer could not provide anexact court date. A search of theImperial County Superior Courtcalendar through Sept. 10 foundno mention of the suit.

The next step is up to theprospective buyer, Singerexplained. That entity woulddecide not buy, ask the court formore time to continue research-ing the property, or decide to buyand request the court move thepurchase process forward.

In the event of the latter,Singer said the judge would con-duct a court confirmation hearingof the prospective sale and set adate for an overbid hearing, orpublic auction, where otherpotential buyers could bid on theproperty along with the contract-ed buyer.

If the buyer now under con-tract decides to not move for-ward, the property would remainon the market.

Meanwhile, one county offi-cial expressed frustration withthe ordeal.

“I’m not happy with the waythis thing is turning out. It’s takenway longer than what anyonewould have expected,”Supervisor Raymond Castillosaid Aug. 23.

His district includes the prop-erty.

The real estate market is suchthat nobody has been willing topay what the development isworth, Castillo said, addingoffers have been too low giventhe value of the property and itslocation on the heavily traveledHighway 111.

“It’s a really good piece ofproperty. The location is perfectfor development,” Castillo said.

Stating traffic studies haveshown the Highway 111 corridorhas some of the highest “carcounts” in the county, Castillosaid, “That’s why the gas stationdoes so well.”

Pacificland Investments andLo owe the county $4.3 million,including $2 million from thecounty community benefit pro-gram and $2.3 million in unpaidinfrastructure improvements atthe project site, Castillo added.The developers of the projectdefaulted on the $2 million loanin April 2018. The county filedsuit on May 11, 2018.

The community benefit funds

come from fees the county hasnegotiated from solar developersto make up for lost economic

activity from solar developments,which employ far less than thefarmland they replace.

Action Could Come Soon for Embattled Heber Development

It looked like temperatureswere going to drop, but summeris hanging on for a while longer.The Imperial Irrigation District isoffering some tips for its cus-tomers to save electricity andkeep the bills down for theirhomes and businesses.

By taking the actions below,you will help protect the environ-ment, maintain the electrical gridand save energy costs.

Residential• Set your thermostat to 78degrees or higher when you arehome. • Avoid using major applianceslike washers, dryers and dish-washers between peak hours of 4and 8 p.m. • Use a ceiling fan to cool off forless. However, be sure to turnfans off when you leave a room— they only cool people, notspaces. • Block the sun from overheatingyour home. Inside, use shades,blinds and drapes. Outside, useawnings, trees and shrubs. • Plug electronics into a powerstrip, then turn the strip off whennot in use. • Use the power managementsettings on computers and moni-tors.• Replace your five most-usedlight fixtures and/or bulbs withENERGY STAR® products. • Change or clean your air condi-tioner’s filter at least once amonth to keep your system run-ning at peak performance. • Check for household leaks tomake sure air is not escaping. • Unplug that second fridgelocated in the hot garage or utili-

ty room. IID will pick it up andpay you $50 to recycle it for you.Sign-up here for IID'sRefrigerator Recycling Program. Choose energy-efficient appli-ances. They don’t just save youmoney, but they’re good for theenvironment, too. • Avoid over-drying yourclothes. It wastes energy, pluscauses static and wrinkling. • Set your dishwashers on econ-omy mode, to use less water andelectricity. • Pull the plug on chargers thataren’t in use.• Download the IID Connect appfor more energy saving tips.

Non-Residential• Review above-listed tips forresidential energy users to deter-mine which may apply to yourbusiness. • Choose energy efficient equip-ment. Check IID’s EnergyRewards Program for rebateinformation. • Turn off air conditioning inunoccupied areas. Conditioningair in storage, basement or emptyspace is usually unnecessary. • Install and program thermostatsto power down or raise tempera-ture after closing. • Install motion detectors to con-trol lighting in frequently unoc-cupied areas, such as restrooms,conference rooms or storagerooms. • Activate computers’ sleepmode. This reduces electricityconsumption to about less than 5percent of full power. • Plan meetings during peakperiods to minimize use of equip-ment.

• Adjust schedule or shifts so thatincreased production occurbefore or after peak hours. • Regularly clean and performmaintenance on HVAC units andall energy-intensive equipment tokeep it operating efficiently. • Replace incandescent or halo-gen lamps with low wattage orhigher efficiency lamps.

• Check the insulation in yourattic, exterior and basementwalls, ceilings, floors and crawlspaces. To determine the recom-mended insulation R-values indifferent parts of your home, visitthe Weatherization section ofenergysaver.gov. • Check for air leaks around yourwalls, ceilings, windows, doors,lighting and plumbing fixtures,switches and electrical outlets. • Make sure your appliances andheating and cooling systems areproperly maintained. Check yourowner’s manuals for the recom-mended maintenance.

crete remains could be seenbefore the weeds buried most ofit."

A lifelong sports fan, Velascorecalls the Little League playedat Van Der Linden field nearby.Her older brothers, Jimmy andLarry, played in the majors for11- and 12-year-old players).

"Mostly all the kids from PineSchool were on the Yankees," shesays. "All the kids who lived inthe country went to Pine. Whenwe went there it was Pine UnionSchool District and later becamepart of Holtville Unified SchoolDistrict."

Despite history once beingbarely a blip on her radar,Velasco takes an interest in thesubject now. Cable televisionoffers many choices for the afi-cionado: the history channel, mil-itary channel, and theSmithsonian Channel. Frequentshowings of "ExpeditionsUnknown," focusing on archaeo-logical digs of ancient societies,especially piqued her interest.

"There's a lot of stuff I'd liketo see in the Mid-East but I'm notso sure about traveling there,"says Velasco. "The pyramids aremagnificent, but seeing them upclose would be something differ-ent. They're still trying to figureout how they built them."

As with the on-screenexperts, Velasco's knowledgelooks beyond the current viewand sees things as they oncewere. The Salton Sea, forinstance, was quite different dur-ing the 1960s, noted Velasco.There was water skiing and fish-ing, mostly for Covina, thoughnow it is Tilapia.

"We'd go to the mud pots nearWestmorland and Niland wherethe geothermal water was nearthe surface. And there was a hotsprings at Jacumba and a resort.People like to bathe therebecause the mineral springs weregood for the health," Velascoadds.

Until the early 1970sHoltville was like "Little Houseon the Prairie" (by Laura IngallsWilder), Velasco says, explainingthat when the town still had theAlamo Theater on Fridays therewas two movies, a cartoon and,after intermission, bingo.Imperial had the Motor Vu Drive-In where Velasco took her ownchildren in the 1980s.

Gas stations seemed to be onalmost every corner in Holtvillebefore the early 1970s, alongwith several barber shops, twohardware stores and two clothingstores, Velasco recalls. A favoriterestaurant, The Horn, past Sellersgas on Fifth Street, served reallygood coconut cream pie andVelasco and a friend who livednear there would often make anevening of it just for the pie.

"Back in the day we'd cruiseback and forth on Fifth Streetbefore heading out somewhere toa party or El Centro, and listen to8-track tapes. It made for a cheapdate," she says.

About 50 years ago the CarrotFestival was even a bigger deal,she contends. All the elementaryschool children marched in the

parade by grade, dressed up incostumes based on the theme ofthe festival.

"I remember Richard (herbrother) was dressed up in abunny costume," Velasco recalls."A lot of women sewed then--it'sa lost art. Not many women do itanymore. They did the HulaHoop all the way down FifthStreet. Each class made a floatand they stuffed chicken-wireframes with tissue paper. It wasour version of the Rose Parade."

The opening of Interstate 8 inthe late 1960s/early 1970s was aturning point for Holtville whenit became a bedroom community,Velasco says. It meant Highway

80 through town was no longerthe main route between El Centroand Yuma, so the commercespurred by out-of-towners driedup.

People wanted to get toplaces faster and it was muchmore convenient for travelersgoing to San Diego or Phoenix,she notes.

"Just think how long it tookthe pioneers in their Model Ts ontwo-lane highways that reallytwisted over the mountains," shesays. "It took one day to get toOcotillo. It was an overnightstay. People would drive throughPine Valley to summer cabins."

Despite witnessing the evolu-

tion of so much progress, Velascoadmits she does not like change.She has worked for the PostOffice since 1981, part-time formany years. Now, she has beenemployed there for 15 years full-time. Her mail route takes herfrom near Bonds Corner to HoltAvenue in town, over a 100-mileroundtrip. She reveals she wouldlike to work another five yearsbefore retiring.

"I've learned to adapt," sheadds. "I write a lot of articles forthe Tribune sports section. Upuntil three years ago, I still typedon an electric typewriter. Andthat's why they call me WilmaFlintstone."
