KYMA on November 4, 2025

Madeline Murray

YUMA COUNTY, Ariz. (KYMA) – One of the focuses this election was on the Gadsen Elementary School District Board Member Recalls, where we have four candidates running.

Two recall petitions were filed against school board president Luis Marquez and board member Liliana Arroyo.

The petitions claim that Marquez has been on the board too long and has abused his power, while the recall against Arroyo claims that she is unfit for the position because she cannot speak English proficiently.

Mark Concha, who is running against Luis Marquez, says it’s time for a change, whereas, Marquez says concha has been after him for two years, and now it’s time for the community to decide.

We spoke to Luis Marquez and mark concha about their reaction if they won the election.

“You know I got a congratulations, I mean that’s what democratic is, you know you have too accept the will of the community, if the community wants me to stay, I’ll stay, because I’m defending my position, I’m not running,” says Luis Marquez.

Mark Concha says he would keep his campaign promises.

Concha says, “but, if I get elected, I can assure that I will do my 120 percent or more to satisfy what I’m saying during my campaign.”

The final results for this election will be in on Friday.

Congressman Carbajal Meets with Local Nutrition Program to Brainstorm Over Impact of Government Shutdown

KEYT on November 4, 2025

Jarrod Zinn

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (KEYT) – On Tuesday afternoon, Congressman Salud Carbajal met with Meals That Connect, San Luis Obispo’s Senior Nutrition Program.

The congressman says nearly 42 million people nationwide, including 100,000 from California’s Central Coast, are being impacted by the continuing government shutdown and the resulting halt in supplemental assistance programs like SNAP.

“Programs like ‘Meals That Connect,’ despite the heroic great work that they’re doing to feed all those food insecure veterans, seniors, families and children, they can’t do it all without continued SNAP benefits,” says Rep. Salud Carbajal, (D) California.

The meeting between the service of free healthy meals to over 2,000 seniors in SLO County and the congressman enabled a brainstorming session about the far-reaching impacts on food scarcity, and how to combat shortages.

“In San Luis Obispo County, we’re pushing on 30% of the population being senior citizens, and the congressman was talking about other vulnerable populations,” says Laura Kelsay, Meals That Connect’s Executive Director.

Congressman Carbajal urges a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government as soon as possible to minimize what impacts are already being felt.

Special Election Day underway in Yuma County

KYMA on November 4, 2025

Eduardo Morales

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – San Luis, Arizona residents are casting their votes Tuesday as three items are on the ballot.

One of the focal points of this election is Proposition 434, which would end the pay and benefits for the San Luis mayor and City Council members.

San Luis city council member Lizeth Servin was against proposition 434.

If Prop 434 is approved, The San Luis mayor and council members would serve the public without compensation, benefits, and travel allowances.

Servin told me that it would be difficult, and very hard to afford to be able to do the job without this pay and benefits.

She says she hopes people understand the council’s perspective, and is glad with the voter turnout.

“I’ve been here all day since morning, and it’s just been consistent, it hasn’t been like a multitude of people coming at once, but it’s been steady, like constant movement so I’m happy with the turn out,” Servin says.

As a reminder these are not the official results, just the early ones.

Official results should be in by Friday.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (KEYT) – The new SLO Food Bank Pantry is helping feed people in need in San Luis Obispo County through its innovative design and concept.

“The SLO Food Bank pantry and Community Resource Hub is a place where people can get the food that they need and it’s offered in a grocery store style shopping experience,” said Savannah Colevans, SLO Food Bank Communications Senior Manager. “We opened in the spring of this year and have been operating for a few months and we’re serving over 2,500 people each month.”

Open three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the pantry is located in a newly constructed building that’s been added to the SLO Food Bank headquarters in San Luis Obispo.

“We offer a variety of produce, fresh produce, often locally sourced, as well as, pantry goods like canned soups and vegetables and meats, tortillas, as well as frozen meat,” said Colevans. “It’s so important that people have access to choice when it comes to food so that they can get the food that they need for their family, their dietary preferences, their medical needs. This space really allows people to get exactly the amounts and types of foods that work best for their families.”

SLO Food Bank is one of two local non-profit organizations that are once again teaming up with News Channel 12 for its annual Turkey Drive.

The fundraiser is now going on through Thursday, Nov. 20 and is collecting donations for SLO Food Bank and Good Samaritan Shelter.

Donations collected in San Luis Obispo County will directly assist SLO Food Bank Clients, while those collected in Santa Barbara County will directly benefit Good Samaritan clients, as well as other local non-profit organizations.

“Providing food during the holidays is not only important for people’s nourishment, but also so that people have the opportunity to participate in the traditions that they love and to connect with their families,” said Colevans. “By giving to the Turkey Drive, you’re really supporting people being able to do what they love during the holidays.”

Guadalupe Approves Contract For Royal Theater Revitalization

KEYT on November 4, 2025

Jarrod Zinn

GUADALUPE, Calif. (KEYT) – Guadalupe’s historic Royal Theater is in for a royal makeover, which will get its start before this year comes to a close.

The Royal Theater has stood in downtown Guadalupe for 85 years, having historically shown films that catered to both the Japanese and Hispanic communities, as well as some mainstream content during the 1980s and 1990s.

After a remodel in the late nineties, it closed and has been unused ever since.

In 2001 it was designated a National Historic Place, awaiting the city’s long-planned revitalization project.

Now in 2025, hands have been shaken and a contract has been signed with PreCon Industries, Inc.

A formal groundbreaking ceremony is set for december.

“We have about 12 different restaurants in town,” says Ariston D. Julian, Mayor Of Guadalupe. “The buildings were built in the early 1900s. So we do not want to destroy the nature of what we have in the downtown area. We’re looking forward to making sure that this community is thriving based on what we have here with the Royal Theater.”

While this is a big green light for the Royal, a capital campaign is underway to fill a $2 million budget shortfall.

City leaders hope to be finished with the revitalization and ready to reopen its doors in the spring of 2027.

Zales burglary suspect arrested and extradited back to Yuma

KYMA on November 4, 2025

Dillon Fuhrman

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – The Yuma Police Department (YPD) says a man was arrested and extradited back to Yuma in connection to the Zales Jewelers burglary last year.

According to YPD, it happened last August at around 4:05 a.m. when officers responded to an alarm at Zales Jewelers, located in the Yuma Palms Regional Center, and found the front glass door was damaged upon arrival.

YPD says the suspect “entered the store through the broken door, shattered display cases and fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of merchandise.”

Three months into the investigation, YPD says their detectives identified the suspect as 36-year-old Deandre Lamar Wells.

Back in September of this year, YPD says the grand jury was presented the case, and said an arrest warrant was issued for Wells.

Later that month, Wells was arrested in Tarrant County, Texas by the U.S. Marshals Service, and has since been extradited back to Yuma.

Wells is being held at the Yuma County Detention Center, on a bond of $500,000, on multiple charges, including third-degree burglary.
