While composing thisedition of The ClairemontTimes, specifically thelibrary page, I was struckat the positive impact TheUnited States Navy is hav-ing in our community.

A series of workshopsare being offered thismonth by the Navy’s Fleetand Family SupportProgram (FFSP) at theClairemont Branch Library.Two career oriented pro-grams/workshops thismonth are quite timelygiven the number of peopleunemployed or havingcareer uncertainty. The first is a “Resume

Writing Workshop” on Tuesday, March 6th.The second, in true military follow-up fash-

ion is the next day Wednesday, March 7th

“Winning Interview TechniquesWorkshop.” These are two phenomenalresources to learn some tips and obtaincareer advice.

There are also three otherworkshops/programs geared towards family

and parenting this month at the Clairemontbranch provided by FFSP. The beauty ofthe above events is that attendees do nothave to be affiliated with the Navy to bene-fit from such programs and workshops.

If you would like to read more about theNavy and the Fleet and Family SupportPrograms visit:www.cnic.navy.mil/sandiego

While on the subject of libraries and

career counseling the NorthClairemont branch will behosting a free Job SeekerBoot Camp Friday, March23rd.

We as a community arevery fortunate to have suchdiverse programs at our locallibraries the staff and manyvolunteers who take the timeto give back should be com-mended for their hard work,dedication and service. Formore information about whatour local libraries have tooffer see page 6.

San Diego Mesa College was recog-nized as one of the fastest-growing com-munity colleges in the nation byCommunity College Week magazine. Ofthe nation’s 1,050 two-year institutions,the magazine’s overall ranking puts MesaCollege seventh in the nation for collegesenrolling at least 10,000 students.

With a 13 percent increase in enroll-ment, Mesa College also ranked thehighest growth in numbers in the state ofCalifornia.

The results were reported in the annu-al “Special Report: Fastest GrowingCommunity Colleges” releasedNovember 28, 2011. The article namedthe top 50 fastest-growing public two-year colleges in four categories rangingfrom “fewer than 2,500 students” to“10,000 or more students” based on datacollected between fall 2009 and fall2010.

“This distinction comes at a criticaltime and in spite of the fact that in thelast several years, we have had to turnaway students, reduce classes andincrease fees,” noted Dr. Pamela T.Luster, president. “It underscores thededication of our faculty and staff tomeet the education and workforce train-ing needs of the San Diego region.”

San Diego Mesa College and MiramarCollege were two of only four Californiacommunity colleges to place in the top50 with enrollments of 10,000 or more.

San Diego Miramar College ranked 41 inthe CCW report, with an eight percentincrease, in the same category. Mesa andMiramar were two of only fourCalifornia community colleges to placein the top 50 with enrollments of 10,000or more.

The demand for classes at Mesa,Miramar and City College is at an all-time high, even as the colleges and theentire the California Community Collegesystem face severe and continuing budg-et cuts. All three colleges are part of theSan Diego Community College District,which also includes San DiegoContinuing Education.

Community College Week publishedits findings in the November, 2011 issue.It based its research on U.S. Departmentof Education data, which only includeanalysis of students enrolled in coursesthat lead to a post-secondary degree orother formal award. The publicationranks the colleges in order of percentagechange in student count. The report canbe found at www.ccweek.com.

Hello Clairemont Faithful! Thanks again for pickingup your monthly edition of The Clairemont Times; wetruly value you and all of our readers out there on themesa. With the Chargers’ season behind us and no pro-fessional basketball or hockey team to watch we canfinally turn our full attention to the Padres’ SpringTraining Camp.

As we sit through the weekly rainy day and low tomid 60 degree weather we can take comfort in knowingthat all 30 Major League Baseball teams have taken thefield and gone through their first full squad workoutswith actual Spring Training games starting in the nextcouple of weeks. Personally, I cannot be more excit-ed. This is my favorite time of year. Every singleteam is tied for 1st place and everyone is offering uptheir projections of how the season will go. Thebeauty of baseball is that the season is long and look-ing good or bad on paper really does not hold upover a 162 game season.

I can’t tell you how the Padres are going to fairthis season because it’s just a guess like everyoneelse’s but I can tell you what the baseball world issaying about them. The only thing is...I don’t wantto. Instead let’s just point out some fun optimisticfacts about this upcoming season:

- The National League West Division is up forgrabs this year and the Padres can immerse them-selves in it even with the loss of players such asstarting pitcher Mat Latos and closer Heath Bell.

- The Giants, Dodgers, Diamondbacks, andRockies were all completely predicted wrong at thestart of last season, so it could happen again this sea-son with the Padres reaping the benefits of littlemedia coverage compared to the rest of the division.

- Adrian Gonzalez and the Red Sox most likelyare not going to win, sorry Adrian.

- The Padres brought in some fine talent to replacethose players most notably outfielder CarlosQuentin, closer Huston Street, starting pitcherEdinson Volquez, and hard hitting unproven 1st baseprospect Yonder Alonso.

- Regardless of how the season goes, and it could be along season at that, there is a lot of young talent floatingaround the Padres at every level of their major roster andminor league system.

We all could be in for quite a treat if you give theseguys a chance. There are always going to be some grow-ing pains with young players but watching them developand reach their potential can be extremely exciting. ThePadres have positioned themselves to win over the nextcouple of seasons (not necessarily this season mind you)by building a strong core of young prospects that can

play together and will be under team control through2015. Players to watch early on in Spring Traininginclude: 1B Yonder Alonso, RHP Casey Kelly, and 3BJedd Gyorko.

Only a month and half to go before Petco Park will behosting our hometown Padres!!! Make sure you catch agame this season, I know I will.

Thanks for reading,Johnny Cantanz

District 6 News/Events

Use Caution in Our Canyons

Moving Our SchoolsForward in 2012

Clairemont schools continue to

perform very well and are an

enhancement to our neighborhood.

Clairemont schools were well rep-

resented at the All Schools Fair at

Balboa Park last month. Thursday,

March 8 is the dedication of the

Clairemont High Automotive

Facility that will prepare our stu-

dents for jobs leading into the

future.

The budget crisis in the state of

California will have a big effect on

the operational budget of our

schools next year. We have already

eliminated millions in central

administration and outside con-tracts to keep most of the money inthe schools. We have also reducedtransportation funding to keep moremoney in the classrooms.

After reviewing every depart-

ment last fall, it became very clearthat we cannot keep cutting staff.The district is already functioning

with a skeleton crew in many

cases. We have 2,000fewer employees thanjust a few years ago.

But we have a $124million dollar shortfalldue to reduced funds

from the state. The

Board cannot vote thatshortfall away. TheNovember ballot initia-

tive for taxes will come

too late to help us fornext school year. Wehave two choices:

increase class size and

cut academic programsand student support

services (resulting inover 1,000 layoffs) or

have concessions from

employees. The schoolpolice officers’ union

has already agreed to the conces-

sions, so now there will be no need

for layoffs in that department and

our kids will be safe.

The Board of Education and the

Superintendent have also agreed to

the same package of concessions. I

have faith that our other employee

groups will do the right thing. We

really need to return next year with

the same level of staffing and pro-

grams.

We need to make it clear to our

state legislators that we cannot con-

tinue to provide quality education

without adequate funding. As par-

ents, community members, teachers

and staff we need to work together

to protect the education of all chil-

dren in Clairemont and throughout

San Diego.

John Lee EvansPresident, SD Unified Board of Education

Clairemont Representative to School Board

The network of canyons in Clairemont issomething that makes our communityunique. Some of them, like TecoloteCanyon and San Clemente Canyon arewell-known and have great hiking and bik-ing trails for the public to enjoy. Many ofour homes overlook the expansive networkof canyons that run through Clairemont.

My family and I frequently enjoy ourlocal canyons. The Tecolote Canyon andNatural Park, for example, has 6.5 miles oftrails that can be used for jogging, walking,and mountain biking. I encourage everyonewho hasn’t yet had the opportunity, tospend some time visiting our local openspaces.

I would suggest, though, that everyonewho enjoys spending time in our canyonsuse caution and be aware of their surround-ings. Recently, my office became aware ofa small fire that had started in one of thecanyons near Clairemont Mesa Blvd. andClairemont Drive. An investigation foundthat the cause of the fire was a meth lab inone of the homeless camps in the canyon.This camp was located just yards away

from a residential neighborhood full of sin-gle family homes.

The City has an ongoing program aimedat cleaning up these camps that are locatedin canyons throughout San Diego. Througha partnership with the San Diego PoliceDepartment, Environmental Services,Neighborhood Code Compliance, and non-profits like Alpha Project, City staff areable to go in and clean up these hazards inour communities. This team effort cleansup one to two homeless camps per monththroughout the City. At the meth camp Imentioned earlier, the cleanup hauled awaynearly three tons of litter and trash, andSDPD made multiple arrests includingfinding individuals who had outstandingwarrants.

As you are out enjoying San Diego’scanyons and open space, be aware of yoursurroundings. If you see suspicious behav-ior, please call the San Diego PoliceDepartment’s non-emergency number at(619) 531-2000 or (858) 484-3154. Let’skeep our canyons clean and safe for every-one to enjoy!

NIQUES WORKSHOPThe Clairemont Library will offer

a free Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT) workshop with MichelleLeuschen on March 23rd from 12:00-1:00 pm. Based on the premise thatunresolved emotions can compromiseour potential for happiness, EFTbegan as an effective remedy for pho-bias, addictions and war trauma.Vietnam Vets were finally able tosleep at night, smokers could choosefresh air, and paralyzing phobias losttheir grip...all without medication!

Before long, EFT was providingrelief for migraine headaches, sexualabuse trauma, and a wide assortmentof everyday ailments. Fascinated bythe results, founder Gary Craig taughtthe technique to therapists, clients andpeople on the street. He said “Try it oneverything!”, so they did. Since then,EFT has grown into a revolutionaryhealing aid, used by traditional thera-pists, medical professionals and alter-native healers on everything fromweight loss to disease. The discoverybehind this technique is that mostphysical and emotional issues arecaused by disruptions in the body’s“subtle energies”. These disruptionsinhibit our natural ability to heal, thusresulting in emotional symptoms,chronic pain and illness. Combiningthis emotional element with theancient principles of acupuncture,EFT has been able to address the caus-es of these energy disruptions with agentle tapping procedure (using thefingertips). Impressive results ensuebecause the process addresses causes(disruptions in the energy system)instead of symptoms. EFT has beenknown to work where nothing else hasand often delivers rapid, gentle andpermanent relief from unwanted emo-tional and physical symptoms.

Michelle Leuschen has been aCounselor for nine years in privatepractice. She has taught over 50 pri-vate workshops and created a 12 partwebinar series designed to help peoplelearn EFT at home. She frequentlyspeaks at bookstores, mental healthcenters, spas, wellness centers, yogastudios, and women’s networkingorganizations.
