NEW VETERAN’S BILL TO HELP STUDENTS JONATHAN STROUD THE TELESCOPE

The US Department of Veterans Affairs has implemented a new program geared toward helping older veterans reach their educational goals, but it doesn’t come without its problems.

Last year, President Obama signed into law the Veteran’s Opportunity to Work (VOW) to Hire Heroes Act, which included a new Veterans Retraining Assistance Program (VRAP).

The program offers unemployed veterans, who have already exhausted their Montgomery GI Bill benefits, up to an additional 12 months of training assistance.

Veterans must meet a list of specific requirements that include being between the ages of 35-60, received an other than dishonorable discharge from service and currently unemployed.

“I think it’s a great program to help older veterans gain new skills to help them get back into the work force,” said Ryan Williams, certifying official for Palomar Veterans’ Services.

This is the latest attempt by US government officials to help cut down the number of unemployed and homeless veterans.

The new Veteran’s Retraining Assistance Program (VRAP) offers unemployed veterans an additional 12 months of training assistance to those who have already exhausted their GI Bill benefits.

Palomar currently has 20 veterans enrolled who are using the vrap. turn to biLL, page 7

VETERANS’ VOICES

COMMUNITY COLLEGE LEADERS MEET ON USS MIDWAY TO DISCUSS VETERANS IAN HANNER THE TELESCOPE

SAN DIEGO - Community college offIcials spoke on the importance of veteran enrollment from the flight deck of the USS Midway as the backdrop on Oct. 2.

Floating atop San Diego Bay, officials from major community colleges including Palomar held a press conference to publicly reaffirm their commitment to veteran students. The schools were part of the San Diego and Imperial Counties Community College Association (SDICCCA). Outlining further dwindling finances, the purpose of the press conference was to assure the public that SDICCCA schools still prioritize veteran students in the enrollment process.

“The [SDICCCA] is one of the leading forces in the area for providing services to active-duty military and to veterans,” said Dr. Constance Carroll, chancellor of the San Diego Community College District. “One of the things that many people do not realize in terms of our commitment to our veterans is that they have the first right of registration. So if you’re a veteran in the San Diego area and you need to register for classes in any one

of our institutions, you come first.”

The event, which was held on the flight deck of USS Midway at the offer of Adm. Mac McLaughlin, president and CEO of the USS Midway Museum, was attended by both administrators and students from across the SDICCCA counties.

One of the speakers was Justin Dile, 26, a veteran of the Iraq War who attended Grossmont College following his discharge from the Army Reserves.

Dile had been on a 15-month deployment in Iraq when he was struck by an improvised explosive device that he said left him with a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. After recovering, he decided to

attend school to transition back into civilian life.

“It was a difficult process to wrap my head around school and the opportunities I had, but Grossmont was a college that understands that. They’re a college that understands what we need as veterans; what services are unique to us,” Dile said.

According to Dile, one of the greatest services that region community colleges offer is priority enrollment for veterans.

“It starts at the very basic level of priority registration, which all the colleges in the area do. This relieves a huge burden of stress on our lives,” Dile said. “We know we can get the classes we need to be able to get the benefits that we rely on for our money and everything like that.”

Dile isn’t the only student who feels veterans deserve this perk. Ryan Williams, 29, is the Certifying Official for GI Bill Benefits at Palomar. He’s a Palomar alumnus, currently attending SDSU while working full-time at Palomar.

“I like to make the service that someone has done in the military personal,” Williams said.

transfer center

Palomar hosts Application workshop Palomar students have the opportunity to attend a hands-on workshop to ease anxiety about four-year college applications.

The Transfer Center is holding college application workshops throughout October and November for students who are applying for fall 2013 UC/CSU colleges.

Staff will make the process of applying to four-year universities less confusing for students, according to the website.

Students applying for any UC colleges will have the benefit of essay preparation help from English professors. Also available for students are essay critiques from English professors on any improvements to their paper.

On Tuesday Oct. 23, there will be a UC representative to help students applying to any UC colleges.

The Transfer Center asks students attending the workshop to bring an unofficial copy of their transcript and their log in information for CSU Mentor. Students are encouraged to write down any questions they might have to make the process of applying go more efficiently.

Registration is required to be part of the workshop. On Nov. 8 and 14, organizers will accept walk-ins for UC applicants, and will accept walk-ins on Nov. 20 for CSU applicants.

Elvia Nunez, the director of the Transfer Center, explained that she will be attending a CSU conference on Tuesday in Pasadena to discuss updates on the application process so all Palomar counselors and staff members are aware of the new questions or changes in the application.

You can find information about the workshop at http://www.palomar.edu/ counseling/transfercenter/ or call (760) 744-1150 ext. 2552 to pre-register.

Heritage and tradition celebrated during california indian day at palomar A panel of speakers celebrated Native American heritage and tradition at Palomar College recently.

On Sept. 27, Palomar’s American Indian Studies Department hosted California Indian Day in MD-157.

More than 150 people attended the event, most were students. Other attendees included Mel Vernon, captain of the San Luis Rey Band of Luiseno Indians and Palomar President Robert Deegan.

The meeting, hosted by Linda Locklear,

opened with Ernest Siva addressing “our creator” in his native language, “to do things in the right way-- to establish where we are, which is Luiseno territory.”

The event stressed the importance of preserving the various native languages and various steps tribes are taking to implement the language in the younger generations.

They’ve taken steps to create a Luiseno Nintendo DSI and even an iPod in the Luiseno language.

“It’s important to keep knowing ourselves, and to continue passing it on... It’s very important no matter what nationality you are, to pass it on,” said Verna Aviso, a speaker on the panel.

Margaret Fields, a linguist and professor at SDSU was also on the panel and presented some of the things she teaches in her classes, such as California history on American Indian people and language.

“What universities can do is revitalize these indigenous languages.”

Some students, such as Sonia Bribiesca, said she attended the event as an assignment. “I learned that they still preserve their language-- and that it’s shrinking.”

Others like Tylor Ellard and Rober Tortes came to learn more about their culture.

“I come for this because it’s basically my culture and I like to learn about it,” said Tortes, who resides on the Rincon reservation.

Ellard said he grew up with it and was very involved when he was younger, “I like learning about my heritage -- It’s not just about the tribe.”

Students interested in learning more about American Indian culture and heritage are encouraged to visit http://www2.palomar.edu/pages/ais.

OUR VIEWPOINT

Community college students are on the road to success

TOO MUCH PRESSURE TO GET OUT IN TWO YEARS

Hayley Elwood The telescope

Community colleges like Palomar are preparing students to succeed in fouryear universities.

I’m currently at Palomar taking journalism and television courses to supplement my communications degree from UCSD, but based on the major-oriented coursework, I feel confident that Palomar prepares its students.

I believe the majority of this success comes from the schools’ faculty, and the classes and resource programs that are offered. This success is measured in the ways students are being accepted to four-year universities and their graduation rates from these schools.

I transferred to UC San Diego in 2008 after completing my first two years at Miramar College. At Miramar I completed my general education coursework and took pleasure in the small classes and individual attention.

Once I transferred to UCSD, I thought I was very well prepared and was ready to take on the coursework from one of the most highly regarded educational institutions in the country.

Palomar’s instructors play a huge role in the school’s student transfer success. Many of the faculty are experts in their field, having earned doctorates, worked in their industry of

choice, and even written various texts.

Palomar also boasts a large counseling staff and an additional transfer center. Palomar’s Transfer Center holds many workshops and schedules events with university representatives from all over the country.

“My personal, previous students have unanimously said that they’re prepared…[They] have said that a course that they’ve had with me is comparable to a course they would have at a four-year school,” said Jay Wiestling, Palomar professor and mathematics department chair.

I think that Palomar’s courses actually benefit and aid in student success because the

sizes are smaller and teachers give students more individualized attention.

I always had papers and projects at Miramar that helped me immensely at UCSD. This prepared me for my classes because I was held accountable for my work.

Current studies show that community college transfer students, specifically students at Palomar, are having great success in transferring to four-year universities.

According to the 2010-11 Cal State University, California Community College Transfers report, Palomar College had 921 students transfer to CSUSM and 193 students to SDSU. And UCSD had an 81 percent graduation rate of community college transfers in 2006.

Still, some may argue that community college transfer students won’t make a smooth transition to a four-year because they don’t take advantage of a school’s resource programs or the classes are too easy; however, I beg to differ.

With my time at Palomar, I can say that if I was a sophomore planning to transfer, I would feel completely prepared moving forward to a four-year university.

TECHNOLOGY

Technology is now an important educational tool Anna Maria Petrov The Telescope

Working on several things at the same time doesn’t have to be challenging, despite studies that show that multitasking by the use of technology is not an effective use of time; it is a must for Palomar College students.

Technology has become a huge part of our lives and it has helped us progress, especially when it comes to managing our daily routines, including school.

Oxford University Press provides evidence of how multitasking has affected our lives specifically coming from a book written by Dario D. Salvucci and Niels A. Taatgen “The Multitasking Mind.”

There have been so many new gadgets that have been brought to light, and recently the iPad has included an icon on the screen where you can set a “multitasking gesture” to expand your options.

It seems that tasking by using technology is not all bad,

because you can find information to deep questions that can be answered immediately. This is demonstrated in KQED, a TV media which is broadcasted on PBS and the radio.

It’s also discussed on the website naturaltherapyforall.com that multitasking can improve mood due to the different media that is provided.

Doing many things at the same time does seem extreme, but one at a time can be even more time consuming. Technology does have its perks, because on a computer you can do so many things at one time.

Having a laptop can be very helpful as well, especially when it comes to note taking. I have noticed in my past and present classes that there are many students at Palomar using laptops or electronic notebooks during class.

That way, it’s easier to take notes faster and more organized.

Writing essays and doing homework has never been easier than

it is today because of the Internet’s endless information.

Those two are not the only technological devices that make life a lot less complicated when it comes to task managing.

The Kindle and iPad tablet seem to be all the rage lately, and instead of buying the heavy textbooks, order your textbook online.

Buying the books online and having them transferred to my nook-study was much more efficient than waiting for textbooks to be delivered. With no hassle and no waiting in line, technology does offer more help.

Before, going to the gym meant dropping everything else, but today if you posses an iPhone or tablet, you can read your textbook and exercise.

In the end, using technology to multitask helps get school work done much more efficiently than ever before.

Apetrov@the-telescope.com

WHAT WE THINK Society has put an uneccesary pressure on students to get out of community college in two years. We don’t think this is a reasonable expectation anymore.

Community colleges are a great transition to a four-year school, but we aren’t convinced this transition will be just a two-year process anymore.

Not only do community colleges help students save money by cutting out two years worth of the tuition of a four year, they also encourage the idea that you can take your time to get a degree and/or choose your major.

With that being said, we think the school needs to devote more of its resources to students to promote transferring at two-year intervals, in order to help students transfer or get a degree in the amount of time community colleges are intended for two years.

Choosing Palomar has allowed us to keep either full or part-time jobs in addition to saving for after we transfer.

In order to be able to transfer to a public school in California, one must have a total of 60 units (taking roughly 15 units a semester).

All of us at the Telescope have been at Palomar for over three years - and we haven’t been messing around.

Taking classes listed on the CSU transfer guide/IGETC, in addition to working while taking at least 12 units and maintaining a decent GPA, makes it extremely hard to transfer or get an associate degree in two years.

Unless one takes classes during the summer, it’s impossible.

Most of us take advantage of those months to get more hours and even a second or third job, making it hard to even take classes in the summer.

The stigma of getting out of a community college in two years, brought upon by society, seems outdated to us. It has put a unique sort of pressure on us as students that inhibits us from enjoying our college years.

We know that it is possible for students to get out in two years, and maybe that isn’t even a goal for some, but we believe designation of a two-year school should be ambiguous.

Getting out of community college in two years is no longer a reasonable goal, and the pressure to get out in two years is unfair. We just want the college to do all it can to get us out.

Movie Review

Cuban dance event set Danielle taylor The Telescope

‘Resident’ a disappointment The Telescope

“Resident Evil: Retribution,” came out in theaters on Sept. 16 and disappointed fans due to a ridiculous plot.

The film is the fifth installment of the franchise; expanding even further into the twisted realm of the Umbrella Corporation. Rogue test subject, Alice (Milla Jovovich) gets captured and taken to an Umbrella underground facility where she is interrogated by former friend Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory). Alice escapes with the help of a former Umbrella agent named Ada Wong (Bingbing Li). In a surreal spiral of events, Alice flees for her life facing the new horrors and old friends manifested by the Umbrella Corporation.

Like the previous Resident Evil movies, “Retribution” has just as much blood, gore and zombies as its successors. But it did not live up to the expectations of Resident Evil fans, mainly because of the wacky story concept.

Diehard Resident Evil fans will always remember how inaccurate the first “Resident Evil”

movie was; influence of the video game seemed to be remote. However, “Retribution” is pretty accurate involving characters from previous/current games: Ex-Umbrella agent Leon S. Kennedy has appeared in Resident games two, four, and six, whereas Ex-Umbrella agent Ada Wong has been in several Resident games.

The overall action of the movie is good; it was even suspenseful at times. The fighting scenes, on the other hand, are too overthe-edge and far-fetched with the T-Virus and its mutations to the zombies, it becomes a little borderline sci-fi rather than horror. The monsters in the movie become even more unbearably unrealistic as they have been in the previous movies.

“Resident Evil: Retribution” may be a disappointment to the average zombie movie lover due to the lack of classic flesh-eating ghouls. As with the past Resident movies, the zombies change/ mutate, and this can be a dealbreaker to fans of cult zombie classics such as “Night of The Living Dead” or fans of AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” asolorzano@the-telescope.com

A night filled with good food, spicy music, and even spicier people; what more could Palomar students want on a Friday and Saturday night?

Havana Noche dance concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 12 and 13 in the O2 performance room. Attendees will have a chance to hear and feel the culture of Cuba through music and dancing. A Salsa dance class beginning at 8 p.m. is a great way to experience the passion in Cuban music.

“The audience is invited, and well, expected to dance,” said the Publicity Coordinator for the Performing Arts Department Randy Hoffman. “People can come in and learn to dance. They will be able to participate live.”

The event is designed to formally and informally educate people on just how extensive the Cuban culture is. According to Hoffman, most of the performers are from Cuba, either living in the area or visiting for the performance.

“This is going to be real Cuban culture,” Hoffman said with a laugh. “This isn’t a bunch of people messing around; this is people who actually do this professionally.”

From Germany to Hollywood, the musical group La Farandula has taken Latin American music to a new level. La Farandula will be featured at 8:30 p.m.

Boehm Gallery hosts interactive exhibit Emma Maliszewski The Telescope

The Boehm Gallery’s latest exhibit “Peep,” was an interactive show by artists Rizzhel Mae Javier and Matthew Hebert. The exhibit ran to Oct. 6 and featured miniatures, kinetic dioramas, photography and zoetropes.

According to the Boehm Gallery director Ingram Ober, the style of the show was considered interactive kinetic sculpture and encouraged the audience to look longer at the pieces to give themselves enough time to interpret the work.

The artists ensured that their installations and artwork would be looked at for longer periods of time by utilizing the actions of stooping and bending over to observe the work. Ober said that this was, “meant to strengthen the time of interaction and encourage the viewers’ inner dialogue as they move though the exhibit.”

Javier’s side of the gallery featured black and white photographs mounted on a circular moving display. The spinning photos were reflected by mirrors creating a moving picture.

“The short segments of animation demonstrate the subtle interaction between people that say more then what the obvious dialogue would say,” Ober added.

Hebert’s side of the gallery was composed of large black boxes on stilts with two peep holes on

How students can balance Palomar students prepare to transfer to universities work and school Sydney Davison The Telescope

As the amount of money per unit keeps increasing at Palomar, students have begun to feel the financial burden of an education and the cost of living. But most wont let that burden get in their way.

Many students have successfully found a way to be a full time student as well as a full time employee. While working 40 or more hours a week can take its toll on some student’s grades many have shown that with a rigorous study schedule and many late nights it is possible.

“I don’t sleep a lot,” says Palomar student, Victoria Jennings, 20, as she takes a study break between classes. Jennings works two full time jobs at Massage Envy and Little Cakes Cupcake Kitchen in Vista to help pay for her rent and gas. With her loaded work schedule Jennings also juggles twelve units of classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Many students who work full time jobs make sure to schedule their classes around their work schedule. They will try to take classes twice a week or online so they can work alternate days. Others may take night classes and work during the day like engineering major Palomar student, Alex Chatham, 20.

Chatham works five afternoons a week

at Einstein Bagels in Oceanside and takes night classes Mondays thru Thursdays.

Chatham says he keeps up his studies by constantly reading and studying any second he can find. “If I’m not in school or working, I’m reading something” he says as he catches some down time preparing for his upcoming German class.

Many students also make sure to schedule breaks in between their classes.

Students will give themselves an hour in between classes to go over material and finish homework, as well as have a minute for themselves.

2012 shatters records in North America News to Know HAYLEY ELWOOD THE TELESCOPE

During 2012 thus far, North America has been experiencing a mix of floods, droughts, wildfires and hurricanes.

This year is shattering climate records in North America. Record temperatures have been set throughout 2012 thus far, and many professionals in the science fields are correlating a link between climate change and extreme weather.

“It’s difficult to tie individual weather events into a changing climate,” Palomar earth sciences professor Alan Trujillo said. “But things like hurricanes, floods and droughts are starting to be pinned on climate change… through analyzing long-term changes in climate. The scientific evidence is proving that there has been a shift in distribution in much warmer than normal days.”

According to Weather Underground, a weather data-keeping service, Sept. 15 was the hottest day on record in San Diego County since 1988. Temperatures scorched into the high-90s in some parts of the county, and sizzled into the mid-100s in the more inland areas.

“Oceanside set a record reaching 99 that Saturday, when the previous record was set to 83,” said William Leslie, Palomar adjunct instructor of philosophy.

With temperatures rising, different parts of the country are being affected in different ways.

According to the World Resources Institute’s data on 2012 extreme weather and climate events, 63 percent of the continental U.S.

was affected by drought in July, while Hurricane Isaac set a record rainfall in New Orleans of over seven inches in August.

“This is what you would expect to happen with warming temperatures,” Leslie said. “There would be drought and flooding and even fires…all based on confirmatory evidence. One event isn’t enough to establish the global warming theory, but with more events happening, the evidence is confirming the theory.”

Recent evidence of climate change and extreme weather has come from NASA scientist James Hansen.

According to Trujillo, “NASA found that it’s been shifting toward being much more hot in terms of what the weather would

be. We’re starting to see some of these extreme weather events, and starting to scientifically tie them into climate change.”

Hansen released a study in August that compared temperature statistics from the 2000s and came to the conclusion that the rise in heat is caused by manmade global warming.

“This is what we call anthropogenic global warming,” Leslie said. “By going above the maximum amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere…we could put ourselves in a real world of hurt.”

Both Leslie and Trujillo are doing their part to spread the word and educate the public.

They held a professional development workshop on Sept.

21 at Palomar titled “Climate

Change: Hot or Not?” Trujillo just rewrote a chapter on climate change and the oceans for the textbook “Essentials of Oceanography,” and Leslie works with SanDiego350.org, a local organization dedicated to fighting climate change.

“It’s important to get behind elected officials and policy that help shift away from fossil fuels and more toward renewable fuels,” he said. Leslie is actively trying to get his official, Congressman Darrell Issa, to end subsidies to oil companies.w Both men also have ideas that students and all citizens can do to slow down the effects of human caused climate change.

Palomar students help youth SYDNEY DAVISON THE TELESCOPE

Palomar Students who work with the GEAR UP program on campus serve the next generation of students by helping local middle school and high school students become aware of their opportunities for college and ultimately their future.

“My vision of GEAR UP is that it empowers students and it hands them opportunities that many students aren’t aware they had,” Daniela Garcia said.

Garcia is a Palomar student and GEAR UP tutor at Hidden Valley Middle School.

GEAR UP, which stands for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs, is a federally funded program on Palomar College’s campus. The Program aids over 10,000 local North County middle school and high school students with tutoring, college preparation

and a constant mentorship.

GEAR UP is at the beginning of its grant that began last year to aid the students of San Marcos Middle School, Del Dios Middle School, Mission Middle School and Hidden Valley Middle School.

Garcia said she works closely with students to help them understand their assignments as well as inspire them to receive a good college education.

“I believe programs like these are what help cultivate students and create a more diverse society full of professionals that one day will advocate the importance of receiving a college degree.”

Palomar and California State University, San Marcos students are placed on the middle school and high school campuses to motivate and mentor the young students.

Though scientists have yet to phrase it so bluntly, researchers in Canada may have discovered the cure for cancer.

The team of researches from the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada tested the response of cancerous cells to a routine metabolic stimulus known as dichloroacetate. The drug has long been used as a treatment for metabolic deficiencies and has therefore gone through the testing process. The research was published in the medical journal “Science Translational Medicine.”

When a cell becomes cancerous, it switches off its mitochondria, or energy generating organelles that contain the cell’s “self-destruct mechanism.” They can then survive by generating energy through an alternative process called glycolysis. As a result, the cells become technically “immortal” and generate lactic acid which eats through surrounding tissue, allowing the cancerous cells to grow and spread indeterminately.

According to the research report, the application of dichloroacetate through various means led to the reactivation of the cells mitochondria and the deactivation of glycolysis. In the presence of the active mitochondira, the cells then died.

This is not the first time that researchers have claimed a breakthrough treatment method for a disease that afflicts one in three Americans. However, in the past, such claims have been publicly and scientifically tested and either proven or disproven. In this case, the findings seem to have been largely ingnored.

In some online communities, such as the forum site www.mmochampion.com, users have speculated that the findings are being intentionally ignored by the media if not intentionally supressed.

In the same threads, other users have often denounced the former as “tin-foil hat, conspiracy theorists.”

The findings come in a time when cancer afflicts more people on average than at any other point in human history. If the findings are legitimate, it could potentially revolutionize the way cancer is viewed, taking it from life-threatening illness to minor inconvenience. ihanner@the-telescope.com

But while at first glance it may seem like a noble fix, some suggest it’s just a temporary and ineffectual fix for the growing number of homeless and unemployed veterans.

“It’s just legislation to make it look like (the government’s) actually helping,” said Jeffery Schact, a veteran and Palomar student. “We need more help from the government and lower tuition costs if we’re going to get more veterans that have run out of benefits into school.”

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash, the chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs, there are 40,000 homeless and 720,000 unemployed veterans currently unable to find work.

VRAP gives some assistance to those in need of higher qualifications to find jobs, but doesn’t come without stipulations. The program is limited to only 45,000 participants from July 2012 through Sept. 2012 and 54,000 participants from Oct. 2012 through March 2014.

The legislation that was passed helps less than half of the unemployed veterans in the United States, and also comes with a short lived timeframe. The veterans fortunate enough to receive these benefits can receive them for 12 months of actual schooling.

Participants must be enrolled in a program that leads toward an associate degree, non-college degree, or certificate. Chosen programs must meet the requirements for high-demand occupations determined by the Department of Labor.

“It’s not the best benefit in the world, but at least it gives them 12 months,” Williams said. “An associate is hard to get in 12 months, but a certificate is where I see people benefiting the most from it.”

Certificates such as welding, graphic design or construction may be the focal point for the 12 months of benefits.

“If a student wants to change the life they had before and start a new career, you can’t do that in 12 months” said Jessica Skelly, a certifying official with VA. “It’s good for the people that might need to finish a couple more classes or get a certification though.”

Palomar currently has only 20 veteran students enrolled using the VRAP and department officials hope more veterans will take advantage of this program in upcoming semesters.

Information regarding the VRAP can be found at http://benefits.va.gov/ vow/education.html or the Palomar Veterans’ Services office.

“My question to a lot of people who have not served in the military is ‘can you imagine being put in harm’s way?

“Can you imagine spending months or years of your life away from your loved ones, whether it’s just your mother and father and friends or if your married and it’s your wife?’” he added. “If they’re trying to understand why veterans deserve these privileges, there’s a lot of reasoning behind it.”

Col. Paul MacNamara, a Palomar Board of Governors trustee and former Marine Corps active duty officer, spoke on behalf of the Palomar School District. MacNamara illustrated what he saw as the higher character of veterans and why they deserved some poli-

“We need to ultimately reduce our carbon emissions,” Trujillo said. “Students can carpool, ride their bikes, think about making multiple trips instead of one. These are all energy conservation ideas that are not new, but should be taken more seriously.”

According to Leslie, “We are the source of the problem. I think we have a moral obligation to be a part of the solution, too.” hellwood@the-telescope.com

cies that benefit them in SDICCCA schools.

“These veterans, in a time of war, demonstrated at a very young age, a trait that eludes some people, and that is service to something greater than themselves,” MacNamara said. “These men and women, long after the emotional rush of 9/11, volunteered to lay their life on the line for you and me.

“In a time when some discuss declining cultural values and moral bankruptcy, we are privileged to associate with men and women, who in the confusing and uncertain time of youth, chose to embrace the values of honor, courage and commitment,” MacNamara said. “We should not let this resource and potential go to waste.”

Senator Rachel Keeney, organizer for the Voter Registration event said at last week’s ASG meeting, “We have a goal to have 200 students register themselves, but really our real goal is to make people aware that they can affect change in the country.”

This election year, Proposition 30 will be up for vote, which is a ballot initiative put forth by Gov. Jerry Brown, that would increase the California State sales and income tax, and create new high-income tax brackets. The state sales tax would increase 1/4th of a percent for four years, and would generate around $6 billion per year. Only the high income earners would pay more income tax. The proposition asks state citizens who earn more than others to temporarily pay more for the better of the state. Households that earn below $250,000 per year will pay no additional income taxes. And 11 percent of the funds the state would get from that tax would be poured into the community college system, which without this new proposition would receive a trigger cut of nearly $1 billion to higher education.

This would mean a $250 million cut from each public four-year university and a $338 million cut from community colleges.

The ASG has yet to take a stance on this new proposition, but they are in support of getting students involved this election season. Whether for or against this new proposition, the event will be open to all who are willing to participate.

The college students help to provide academic tutoring, college preparation and visits, along with starting clubs on campus where young students can explore their interests and learn more about their desired career field.

Cecilia Rocha, the supervisor for Palomar’s GEAR UP said the program is “dependent on the manpower and the team. We couldn’t do what we do in the community without the college and their support. The students are the key piece.”

With eight GEAR UP staff representatives on each campus and 80 to 100 student tutors the program works to make sure young students “see GEAR UP students and staff everywhere on campus,” Rocha explained.

The student tutors volunteer 20 hours out of their week to working with the young students on math, science, reading and writing.

The tutors also build a personal relationship with the students, helping them with their assignments and inspiring them to better themselves through higher education.

GEAR UP also supports activities that help young students to learn more about colleges and careers. On Sept. 27, Del Dios Middle

According to MacNamara, there is no shortage of veterans in public and private sectors who can attest to the skills instilled by the military for their success. While the state’s schools move ever closer to the Prop.

30 vote in November, some questioned whether these schools would be able to afford this privilege to veterans for much longer.

Palomar’s Williams agreed.

“I do think veterans are on the forefront of their minds, however I believe they are constrained by budgetary responsibilities,” Williams said. ihanner@the-telescope.com

School had their “Dress for Success” career day where students could dress professionally and learn more about their desired career field from 30 different companies and professions.

On Sept. 29, 300 GEAR UP students and parents went to the Bilingual College Fair at the Pasadena Convention Center to learn more about colleges and their options for higher education.

October is College and Connections month for the GEAR UP students, sponsored by the Escondido Chamber. The GEAR UP students will partake in college fairs, business panels, job shadowing and a street fair. The street fair will help students get information about resources and options for their future college education.

WATER POLO

PALOMAR PLAYER HAS EYE SET ON GOAL One of the best players in the state, Rhett Turvey, has more than 60 goals and more than 40 steals jonathan stroud & giovanni nieto the telescope

For Palomar student Rhett Turvey, water polo has the essence of basketball as far as the structure goes, it has the physical contact of football and wrestling, and the cardio-endurance of soccer.

Turvey is a sophomore water polo player at Palomar. He was selected by the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference (PCAC) as Men’s Athlete of the week for all sports in September.

He stared playing water polo his sophomore year in high school and grew up playing a lot of sports.

“As I try to be as athletic as I can, I try to broaden my horizon and do everything I can to keep myself all fit,” Turvey said. “I had the easiest time picking up water polo.”

The head coach of the men’s water polo team, Chad Aronen, said that this program is fortunate to have a player like Turvey.

“He is a great player, but like others there is always room for

improvement,” Aronen said.

Turvey said he credits his success entirely to his teammates this season. Having a good team this year has helped take the attention off him this season. He said last season the team did not have as many scoring threats as they do

now.

“The rivals’ defense would double-team me or triple-team me, now that we have more scoring threats, I have less coverage,” Turvey said.

Turvey says he is more beneficial to his team offensively. He

said he is working on the defensive part of his game to be better player.

He also mentioned that he can shoot with his left hand, though it’s not as strong nor as accurate as his right.

“This team has a lot of high

caliber weapons,” Turvey said.

“We’re strong throughout each position in the pool this year, and don’t have to rely on one or two players.”

His life is surrounded by water polo. He is a coach at the former club he used to play for, which is the North San Diego Stars; they practice at the Wave Water Park in Vista. Life is mostly all school and water polo for him.

At 19 years old, his career aspiration is to be a physical therapist with an emphasis on nutrition. He said he is always trying to better his skill and his participation on the team.

He and his teammates like to run to the big P on the mountain located behind the San Marcos campus before practice. Turvey said he enjoys pick-up basketball and football with his friends.

“I love going to the beach, swimming, surfing and body surfing, and things like that. I enjoy just being around the water in general.” jstroud@the-telescope.com gnieto@the-telescope.com

COACH OF THE YEAR

SWIM COACH GETS AN HONORABLE RECOGNITION After 21 years with the Palomar swim program, Jem McAdams still aims to inspire students lives Hayley Elwood The Telescoe

For some, coaching an athletic team is a fun hobby, but for others, like Palomar swim coach Jem McAdams, it’s a way of life.

McAdams was selected over the summer as the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference’s (PCAC) Coach of the Year for men’s sports in 2011 – 2012.

While McAdams is the coach for both the men’s and the women’s swim teams at Palomar, the award named him Coach of the Year for all men’s sports.

“I’m honored,” said McAdams.

“It’s humbling…but with all the athletes, coaches and teachers that put in a lot of time and effort and energy, I think this award is for everyone.”

McAdams coached the men’s swim team to first place in the PCAC Championships, and the women’s team to second place during the 2011-12 season.

In addition, the men placed second in the California Community College Athletic Association

(CCCAA) State Championships, while the women placed eighth.

“There is no better coach to receive this acknowledgement than Jem McAdams. His coaching is impeccable, and he serves as both a role model and friend for the students of Palomar College,” Wyatt Woodward said. Woodward swam with the men’s team last season.

Although he is a swim coach, McAdams also participated as the PCAC Championship Meet Director this past year.

His duties included prepping the facility, working with electronics including sound systems and scoreboards, and distributing the results.

“Jem is extraordinary,” said Scott Cathcart, Palomar’s Director of Athletics. “His personal commitment and effort throughout the year is remarkable. He was a solid candidate for us.”

This fall, McAdams entered his 21st year coaching at Palomar.

He grew up in an area with a strong emphasis on aquatic sports, he played water polo and swam, and was surrounded by award-

winning athletes and prestigious coaches at an early age.

“My community college coach was an Olympic referee for four Olympics, and my college coach was an Olympic coach,” McAdams said. “During the summers, I played for the head Olympic coach and I swam with Olympians, so I had all that influence in my life.”

While he was in college, McAdams turned to coaching as a way to share his expertise with others.

“I really enjoyed coaching, so I kind of gravitated toward that,” McAdams said. “My coaches were my mentors.”

McAdams said he gains inspiration from two main people in his life: former Palomar swim coach Patti Waterman and Scott Lawson, current assistant swim coach.

Waterman and McAdams know each other from the 1980s because of coaching reasons. So when he came to Palomar, he felt comfortable.

Lawson does most of the physical training during swim season.

“I could walk off the pool deck and know that my swimmers that

I am in charge of are going to perform at the highest level because of what Scott does,” McAdams said. “I couldn’t do what I do today without them.”

McAdams aims to inspire his own students both in and out of the pool.

He cares not only about their athletic performances, but also about their school work and personal lives as well.

“I want to help make kids successful,” he said. “That’s what gives me joy in life; showing up and hoping that I can make a difference in their lives. I want them to each be a better person and athlete.”

While last year was a high point for the athletes, coaches and program, this year’s expectations are even higher; yet, the staff knows they’re in good hands with McAdams around.

“I’m lucky to have him,” Cathcart said. “We have a terrific program and it’s only getting stronger.” helwood@the-telescope.com
