fornia Association of Student Leaders conference every year, where her stu-dents have put our school on the map by leading workshops and getting elected to the CASL state board of di-rectors. Carol’s work is legendary; as I have seen visitors from other schools come to Valley Center to check out our activities. Such impressive accom-plishments don’t happen by accident. They come from visionary leadership and from a heart that is full of love for her students.”
Petersen called Lea Trimble, “the central nervous system of our campus. She has a complete understanding of how the school runs and how to help keep it running smoothly.
“Lea is kind, patient, friendly and caring towards staff and students alike. Lea’s work ethic and positive attitude make each day brighter!
The teachers love that Lea is proac-tive in meeting their needs or solving their problems, helping them out be-fore they even knew to ask. She al-ways has a delightful spirit when solv-ing other people’s ‘last-minute crisis.’
He added, “Lea applies her common sense while remaining calm, cool and collected when under the weight of the world - and keeps her smile while do-ing it. She has eyes in the back of her head and eight arms and does it all!”
Mrs. Gorsuch honored Martin for his six years as board president. She noted that before retiring, Mar-tin was an ag teacher at both Orange Glen High School and Valley Center High School, where he was part of the “dream team” of original teachers brought to open VCHS.
Escalating energy costsMrs. Gorsuch gave a report on the
escalating energy costs that all local school districts are experiencing un-der recent rate increases by San Diego Gas & Electric Co. (SDG&E).
Under new rate structures adopted by SDG&E school districts are treated as commercial entities, and as a result in recent months VCPUSD’s usage in-creased by 4% but its rates increased 25.94%.
Some districts that have installed solar systems have found that they are paying more to SDG&E as a re-sult and are now in the red on their electrical bills. Trustee Don Martin commented that several years ago he tried unsuccessfully to get the school board to go along with installing solar panels. “I’m glad they didn’t listen to me!” he said.
The school district has joined a co-alition of school districts that intends to lobby the legislature when it returns to session in January.

New Year’s Eve is a time for reminiscing about the year behind us and to celebrate the year of adventures ahead of us in the coming months. I like to focus on good, easy appetizers, along with a fun evening with friends.
This week’s “On The Menu” is all about fun, simple appetizers to share with one another. Here are just a few ideas of things you can make for your NYE guests.
Things like Shrimp Cocktail, a bread bowl with your favorite dip, ilet crustinis, a charcuterie board made up of your favorite cheeses and fruit spreads, or perhaps just grilling up some sausages with a side of mustard to dip them in.
There are so many choices for your evening festivities. My wish for each of you this 2016 is that not only your bellies be full, but your hearts even fuller with life’s possibilities and adventures that are ahead of you. Stay positive and focused, for anything is possible. Happy New Year!
