Although barriers still exist

among genders that keep womenfrom attaining the same opportu-nities of their male counterparts,the gap is narrowing. Such is the

case on the Holtville Vikingsfootball team, a sport almostexclusively for males, wherekicker Anne Britschgi is goingtoe-to-toe with male teammatesand proving her worth throughstellar performance.

Anne, 17 and a senior, begantraining during the spring foot-ball season, showed her mettleand is currently the startingpoint-after-touchdown kickerfor the Vikings varsity team.Standing about five-feet, eight-inches tall and maybe 130pounds, Anne is a tad spare foreven high school football.

Knowing just what he wantedto do to augment his income aHoltville resident took over thelease of an established restaurantand is turning residents into asteady fan base of this buddingeatery that goes way beyondbasics.

Los Cerritos (little hills)launched in January almost on awhim by Jerry Cerros, who alsoworks full time as a buyer for thepurchasing department at ElCentro Regional Medical Center.After viewing an ad on socialmedia, Cerros appealed to hiswife, Adriana, to get into therestaurant business.

"I saw the ad on FacebookThursday, went shopping for new

items on Saturday and byMonday I was open," saidCerros. "I got three kids, threehills up there so, that's where thename comes from. It's similar toother Mexican restaurants intown but we try bringing some-thing with a difference."

A hot-selling menu item, lit-erally and figuratively, is thecarne asada burrito with Flamin'Hot Cheetos cooked inside.Known as the "ulcer," Cerrosruns through a lot of Cheetoswith his clintele.

Other popular items includemar y tierra, ceviche, carne asadawith shrimp and bacon, queso(stuffed) taco shells, barbacoa(shredded beef) with cheese on acorn tortilla. Los Cerritos pre-pares its meat outdoors searedover mesquite coals.

But what is perhaps mostaudacious is Cerros came into the

business with no prior profes-sional culinary experience,

though he obviously has a flairfor the hospitality profession.

Adriana, who manages thebusiness, admitted it took severalmonths to get acclimated. AfterJune and July hit with a slowtime, customers have begun toflock for not only the barbacoabut also shrimp burritos. Adriananaturally gravitates toward cus-tomer service.

"I know many of the cus-tomers and I like to talk to them,"she said. "There's only a fewrestaurants in town and peopleare giving us a try. I think thenext months will be especiallygood with more field workersreturning to the farms."

Customers love the smokedflavor of mesquite, noted Cerros.

intimidating for a few seconds.When I take my first step to theball, I forget about it."

Given the Vikings’ prolificoffense, she has had plenty ofopportunities. Anne is the topPAT kicker in the CaliforniaInterscholastic Federation-Southern Section. She hasscored 13 points this season, sixahead of second place JoseMonge of Vincent MemorialSchool.

Although not the first femaleViking football player, two jun-ior varsity players preceded her,Anne is the first female varsityplayer in a significant role,explained C. J. Johnston, athlet-ic director.

She first spoke to footballhead coach Jason Turner in thefall of 2018 and started kickingduring spring football training.

"But nothing is guaranteedyet she could try out for a spot,"said Johnston. "She worked hardall summer practicing her kicks.Who is ever the best person forthe job and contributing to theteam, and so far, she's perform-ing for us."

As far as doubts about afemale playing a traditionallymale sport, there has been noobjection from anyone inHoltville, Johnston assures.

"Maybe some players fromthe other schools were a littlesurprised when shaking hands,"said Johnston. "Hopefully, she'llkick her way to a CIF champi-onship, her and the other play-ers.’

The Vikings are 6-1 on theseason.

Anne has played soccer sinceshe was seven and played threeyears as a Viking left wing for-ward and also plays centerfieldfor the softball team.

"I've always had aggressiveenergy and I'd take it out insports," she said. "I was criti-cized for small size when young.People will tell me, ‘Oh, youcan't take a hit’ and they tell methat now in football. I haven'tgot hit, but that's always a possi-bility."

Turner has declined to haveher punt the ball on fourth downsituations in order to avoidpotential injuries. But it also pre-serves Anne's health as she pre-pares to return to the girls' soccerteam in November.

Still, some doubts in the

community persist. Despite theschool district basing its deci-sion on merit there has still beensome roughing of the kickercoming from social media.Individuals have commented,‘How could you (Anne) do this?This is a man's sport’, accordingto Anne. Yet her Viking team-mates stand behind her.

"We can make jokes witheach other now," said Anne. "Butat the beginning of the season Iwas timid to talk to some of theother players. But it reallycomes down to being like a fam-ily."

Anne said her teammatessometimes are approached withquestions such as, ‘Oh, what doyou think about Annie? Butcome game day there is no ques-tion of her abilities.

"I still get nervous becausemy spot can always be taken,"she said. "I'm glad I got theopportunity to do it. It broughtme out of my shell. But CoachTurner told me, ‘I'm going totreat you like the other players ...but I'll also like to treat you as Iwould my daughter.’"

Despite a sluggish start,nearly forfeiting a commandinglead in the season opener againstSalvatierra Institute, and then adressing down by Imperial HighTigers, a bigger school, the sea-son has turned a corner with animpressive 40-0 win over muchlarger Calexico High on Sept. 27and Turner noting the defense isstrong but still needs to defendagainst big running plays.

Anne, meanwhile, focuses onher task.

"When I kick, I focus on theuprights and not the defenders,"said Anne. "If I don't set mymind right I'll miss a scoringopportunity. But at the sametime putting too much thoughtinto a goal attempt can ruin myeffort."

When first approached byAnne, Turner recalled he toldher, "If you can kick the ball,we'll give you a chance,absolutely."

He added, "She's put thework in since spring football.And now we're seeing theresults. We don't look at it as anovelty. She's one of the play-ers"

Viking teammate DannyGutierrez, PAT holder for Anne,noted she has a good attitude but

was a little scared at first aboutgetting hit.

"Now she's really come intoher own about it," said Danny."She's got leg. She's played soc-cer all through school. She's hadsome injuries, but she's beenreally good about it."

Anne sees the team as prettystrong now.

"We love to mess around, butwe always get down to busi-ness," she said. "Everything wedo, we prove it to people onFriday nights."

“We received the openingkickoff and scored on our firstdrive,” said Turner. “We reallynever looked back after thatand successfully kept themomentum up.”

“With this particular game,

I really felt that the kids werehungry for the win. And it def-initely showed on the field,”Turner revealed.

One of the most frighten-ing things to confront is acancer diagnosis yet it canbe overcome with the aid ofa compassionate doctor andthe support of those close toa person.

For Sister Maria AdelaAmoroso, of the Our Lady ofthe Victory Sisters, that com-munity included those at theSister Evelyn MoureyCenter, an El Centro-basedcharity. Now in recovery,Amoroso was nurtured ini-tially by physician ArsinurBurcoglu-Oral of thePioneers MemorialHealthcare District's CancerInstitute.

She faced an aggressivestage-three breast cancer thathad spread to her lymphnodes. Perhaps as much asthe critical therapyBurcoglu-Oral prescribedwas her dedication to herpatient, emphasized by thehug she gave Amoroso at herdiagnosis that helped easeher pain.

"I was really shocked atfirst. I thought 'How couldthis happen to me?'," remem-bered Amoroso.

That was in March 2017when Amoroso started a reg-imen of radiation andchemotherapy every threeweeks that was completedthat October. But Amoroso,68, had done everything cor-rectly, even getting a mam-mogram every year. What'smore, she had no family his-tory of cancer, no warningsigns before her diagnosisand no incidence of pain.

At the fourth annualBreast Cancer Awarenessevent on Oct. 3 at thePioneers auditorium theImperial Valley communitycame out to be informedabout women's healthcareoptions and how to navigatetheir cancer journey.Sponsored by the RadiologyDepartment, the event hadresulted in 16 mammograms

being scheduled by noon andhopes are the event growsbigger each year, said BobbyLira, district radiology man-ager.

It was from a fellowpatient at the PioneersCancer Institute thatAmoroso heard about theevent and agreed to share herexperience. One of her pri-mary supporters was SisterMaria Luisa Valdez. Sheassisted Amoroso every stepof the way as chemo sappedher energy and left her weak-ened and listless.

Although Amoroso com-pleted chemo, she still mustsee her oncologist every fewmonths. She is still limitedin what she can do since shehas neuropathy (numbness)in the hands and feet.

"I'm doing much betterand recovering," saidAmoroso. "I'm excited myhair is growing back. I'mback with my congregationand continuing my ministry."

Some advice Amorosopassed along is take awaythe fear from cancerpatients. Vital is outreach toa network, and for Amorosothat started with Valdez.

"We supported each otherand when she went for treat-ment I went with her becauseit could take five hours,"Valdez recalled. "As nunswe're supposed to look afterothers. That's what makes usunique in a way. But I nevertalked to her about God.Mostly I listened. I knew herpain came from within."

The hub of support keptcircling back to the congre-gation, most notably throughthe values the congregantsexpressed that overwhelmedValdez and Amoroso to sharetheir congregants' empathywith others.

"It's called charisma--therare charm held by someonethat makes others want tofollow," said Valdez. "I wantto urge all people to nurtureone another with whatever ittakes. And for Maria Adela,there were others: Carol

Rascon, Frances Lopez andher brother, an oncologist inBolivia, phoned to offerencouragement. Maria Adelahas tremendous faith."

Amoroso's oncologist,Osagie Bello, was the event'skeynote speaker andexplained cancer can oftenrequire several treatmentsand that is why a team ofphysicians must be engaged.For prevention, annual mam-mograms should start at age

40, especially for those atrisk with a prior cancerepisode, family history ofcancer or a positive biopsy.Others may start at 50.

"Follow up on results," heemphasized. "Sometimes adoctor recommends an ultrasound (medical imaging) or abiopsy. That's how you knowwhat you're dealing with.Then you can check it underthe microscope."

Along with mammogram

appointments, visitors alsochecked out the ImperialValley Cancer SupportCenter booth. Among its var-ious services, the nonprofitprovides prosthetics andwigs at no cost to empowercancer patients to keep fight-ing.

Oreda Chin, center execu-tive director, steered visitorsto an American CancerSociety brochure on selfexamination. She stressedthe importance of womenknowing how their breastslook and feel normally,which is why self-exam isrecommended while shower-ing. Symptoms to look forare a lump or mass that maynot be painful, skin irritationor dimpling, redness, scali-ness, excessive warmth oritching.

"The take away," Chinstressed, "is for people tocontinue to have breastexams, but not just at 40because breast cancer canoccur at any age. Breast can-cer is the most commoninvasive cancer amongwomen worldwide. Start selfexams. Awareness, that's thebiggie."

"My grandmother, HopeGuerra, passed away 19 yearsago and this place is somethingfor her," he said of the establish-ment at 605 E. Second St.

Guerra recalled learning tocook from his grandmother at an

early age. “My grandmother used to

make crepes and kid's coffee forall of her grandkids," he said. "All

On Sept. 16 the HoltvilleHigh School anatomy and sci-ence integrated II students wentto a research-based field trip tothe Salton Sea. The goal was tolet the students do research on theSalton Sea water and learn about

what is in the water and why peo-ple say it might be a dangerousenvironment.

Bonnie Sorenson was theteacher in charge of the field tripand was the one responsible forgiving the students the opportuni-ty to get an insight on the SaltonSea background.

This field trip was also held to

get the students to participate in acontest to come up with a way tofilter sea water or figure out if theSalton Sea can be saved and beconsidered a safe environment.

As soon as the students got tothe Salton Sea they were separat-ed into groups that would deter-mine what they would do first.The options of groups were to goto the sea and obtain a bucket ofwater to be able to take back andanalyze. The other group wouldstay at the building and start set-ting up the microscopes andequipment needed to do an analy-sis on the water.

The Salton Sea water had avery unpleasant scent that unset-tled most of the students. Later inthe day, the students learned thatthe reason the Salton Sea hadsuch a strong scent was becauseof the algae in it.

After the students obtainedwater from the Salton Sea and

As of Oct. 1 applications areopened for CSU colleges, whileUniversity of California applica-tions opened in August. Despitethe applications being open, theyare only accessible to work on.This means the applications can bestarted by students but cannot be

turned in until November. To begin an application go to

One student athlete who hopesto attend CSU-Chico fall 2020stated, “Although I’m excited toattend college and move on to thenext chapter in my life, the processto apply has proved to be verynerve wracking so far.”

Anyone going to see thesteam locomotive in person isadvised to stand back at least 25feet from all railroad tracks.Railroad tracks, trestles, yardsand right-of-way are privateproperty and viewers are asked toplease not trespass.

The UP is also advisingeveryone to never assume tracksare abandoned or inactive - toalways expect a train.

Longer than two buses andheavier than a Boeing 747, theBig Boy has the longest enginebody of any reciprocating steam

locomotive and was likely theheaviest steam locomotive everbuilt.

No. 4014 was built in 1941 bythe American LocomotiveCompany of Schenectady, NewYork. It is the only operating BigBoy of the eight that remain inexistence. 4014 pulled its lastfreight train in July 1959 and wasofficially retired in December1961. It was later donated to theSouthern California chapter ofthe Railway and LocomotiveHistorical Society in Pomona.

In 2013 it was transferredback to the UP, which intended torestore the locomotive to operat-ing condition. Work began inAugust 2016 and was officiallycompleted in May of this year.4014 has been converted to runon oil instead of coal.

Locomotive.........from page five

College..........from page eightbe available in the counselingoffice, although these cannot beused on CSU applications as CalState has its own fee waivers forwhich students can apply. If stu-dents choose to not use any feewaivers they will have to pay theexpensive price of college applica-tions. These applications can costanywhere from $45-$75.

With the opening of collegeapplications, the opening of finan-cial aid followed. Programs such asFAFSA and Cal-grant have alsoopened on Oct. 1. These programsare provided by the federal govern-ment and take into consideration theamount of money the student’s par-ents make yearly and decide howmuch money, if any, the govern-ment will provide for the student.

Holtville High encourages allstudents to apply for scholarshipseven if they believe they will notreceive any money. The schoolstresses students should let the pro-gram decide whether or not theywill get money rather than studentsdeciding that themselves.

Students will have about twomonths to apply and are encouragedto apply to many schools to have alot of options for their higher educa-tion. Although this process may bevery stressful and not a very pleas-ant, it is necessary to getting accept-ed to college. Additionally, studentsare encouraged to not wait until thelast minute to apply to college, andnot rush their actual application. Forassistance students are urged tospeak with their counselor.

"I get some menu ideas fromsocial media but we've always donea lot of cooking at home. But nowwith a restaurant we don't need tocook at home anymore, just order,"he joked.

Business is typically bustling onweekends but Mondays can be slowso that is when Los Cerritos oftenruns a special. Regardless of the day,busy or not, their signature dishesalways contain daily fresh ingredi-ents.

"I came into the restaurant withno income. It was a quick sprout--let's do it," recalled Cerros. "Wewaited two months to hire. Now wehave four employees. I think there'spotential in this business with consis-tency, making sure I'm always readyfor our customers. I know we have alot of support from Holtville. I justhad faith something was going tocome through."

Almost immediately Los

Cerritos posted ads on Facebook,Instagram and Snapchat and busi-ness began to blossom. Even col-leagues from ECRMC patronizedthe restaurant and were especiallyencouraging.

"They wished me a lot of luckbecause they know how hard arestaurant business is, but everythingis progressing well," said Cerros."We got a new sign, did some paint-ing to give it a new look. We'll startsoon with delivery.com (app). Butwe're looking to host the HoltvilleCar Club out in the parking lot."

The restaurant at 411 E. Fifth St.is open every day. Monday throughThursday and on Saturday they servefrom 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday hoursare 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays gofrom 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Perhaps the best testimonial is acustomer who made the transitionfrom the former restaurant to LosCerritos, Jose Romo, a retired zan-

jero."I especially like to visit on

Sundays for the menudo. It's anacquired taste," he said. "And as longas somebody provides a good prod-uct you're going to come in. This is aplus for the community."

What Cerros said he likes bestwith the new business is customerservice.

"We're succeeding with a newchallenge in life. People say a restau-rant is pretty hard. But I wanted to tryit on my own," he added.

Hope Cafe..............................................................................from page sixthe menu are her recipes. I like tomix it up from time to time andmake new types of crepes that shewould like."

Entering the café feels likewalking into a grandmother'shouse because Guerra used manypieces of his grandmother's furni-ture to decorate.

The eclectic experience doesnot end with the visual, andextends into the overall ambience.Hope Café offers a greater varietyof potential experiences than thetypical coffee house. It has severalrooms decorated to create differentthemes such as the Hope Room,Hollywood Room and the ParisRoom.

Ruben Felix took his wife toHope Café to celebrate theiranniversary. The couple chose tosit in the Marvel Comic Room. Itwas his first time dinning at theestablishment.

"This is something different.Even though the different diningrooms here are incredible, myfavorite thing is the food. I hadcrepes," Felix said.

Erica Sherlan and ZebidiahOlen sat in the Paris Room forlunch. Lights hung low in theromantically decorated roomadorned with pictures of iconic

Parisian landmarks on every wall. Sherlan said, "My favorite

thing about this place is the envi-ronment and of course the coffee.It is a chill place."

Sherlan is also a big fan of thefood at Hope Café and noted, "Idon't have a favorite crepe becauseI like them all. Today I had a crepemade with mole. The Hope Crepeis also really good."

The nightlife in Calexico istypically quiet, explained Guerra,but not at Hope Café.

"We are open until 10 p.m.throughout the week and until11p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Itis the most crowded time at thecafé," he explained.

Guerra spoke of how much thescene changes in his establishmentthroughout the day.

"In the morning the café isfilled with teachers and peoplecoming to get their lunch. At night,it is filled with couples and groupsof friends and all that," he said.

Hanging in a corner near the

cash register sits an iconic paintingof Guerra, his grandmother andfamed Mexican painter FriedaKahlo. An employee commis-sioned the painting as a gift for thecafé owner when the restaurantfirst opened.

Guerra explained that Kahlowas an inspiration to both he andhis grandmother.

Hope Guerra's old fountainsits outside the café. Her grandsonshared a very personal story aboutthe day she passed away.

"My mom was sitting downoutside by the fountain, and ahummingbird came and sat on thetable next to her and didn't move,"he recalled.

Guerra said his grandmotherloved hummingbirds and hismother instantly saw this as asign.

"My mom called me andwhen I arrived the hummingbirdflew up and sat on my shoulder,"

Guerra said.The tiny bird waited with the

mother and son for hours as theycalled other family members tothe scene of what they feel was amiracle.

"The bird just sat on the tablein the middle of my whole family.For us, we knew that was mygrandmother just visiting us. Weall got tattoos of a hummingbirdon our arm to remember mygrandmother," he said.

This incident inspired Guerrato open the Café. When comingup with names, everyone in thefamily agreed they should namethe restaurant in memory of theirbeloved grandmother, Hope.

The café will celebrate itsfourth year anniversary thisHalloween and will offer specialsthroughout the week. Find outmore about Hope Café on theirFacebook page for by stopping infor crepes and coffee.

Sea...................from page eighttook it back to the other group,the students had a chance to gointo a room that had a videoplaying about the history of theSalton Sea and how it came tobe what it is today.

Students were intriguedwith the past of the Salton Sea,about why it is considered anunhealthy environment, theanimals that used to live in itand those that live there today.

Next, students were sepa-rated once again into twogroups for activities therangers had prepared. One wasfor the students to take a hiketo the creek to get some mudand analyze it for the presenceof bugs.

“The activity was fairly dif-ficult because of the hike in thebeaming sun and the digging of

mud in the creek. However, itwas all worth it because of theexperience I got out of it andspending quality time with myclassmates,” said studentAndree Rodriguez.

In the second activity stu-dents used a microscope andanalyzed three types of water:creek water, Salton Sea waterand distilled water. Each haddifferent living particles andsome were more contaminatedthan others.

After lunch, students wereable to analyze the water sam-ples and see what chemicalswere in each. They analyzedthe amount of salt, phosphorus,and other minerals. Overall,the students got a good educa-tional experience that will ben-efit them in the long run.
