Community gathers to honor fallen law enforcement
2021 memorial looks a little different due to COVID-19 restrictions
EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The Imperial Valley Law Enforcement Memorial in partnership with local law enforcement agencies honors our fallen officers Friday evening.
Last year’s motorcade was cancelled due to the pandemic. Authorities have since been eager to honor their fellow officers and agents, with the rest of the community. Typically for the law enforcement memorial, we do a whole stand-in ceremony at the courthouse on the steps. Due to COVID, we re unable to do that,” says Sergeant for the Imperial County Sheriff’s Office Steven Green. So, we came up with a game plan, and the best we could think of to honor the fallen officers, was to set up the flags and the display at the courthouse in the yard there; and then to do a motorcade from here as we normally do every year, from here to the courthouse.

Owning and operating a restaurant is not the easiest of endeavors.
Carlos Weir and his wife, Erika, have accepted the challenge of running not one but two local restaurants. The first, Las Chabelas, opened in Brawley on Main Street in 2003 with only four tables, two booths and three employees. The second restaurant is The Courtroom Bourbons and Grill in El Centro, which opened in 2014.
Carlos Weir is native Californian who grew up in the greater Los Angeles area and moved to Imperial Valley more than 30 years ago. Erika Weir is a native of Imperial Valley.
When the couple decided to operate a restaurant, they knew the risk. Although the closure rate for restaurants in the first year is reported as high as 90 percent, the real number over the past 20 years is closer to 17 percent. This is actually a lower failure rate than other service-providing businesses, where 19 percent fail in the first year.
