We have two new teachers: Dan Maes and Tom Schaerges. Tom was one of the first substitutes that we had at Carlé and the seventh teacher we have from Oak Hill Middle School. Tom's goals are to help everyone graduate, help people get jobs and teach cooperative learning. Mr. Maes is also from Oak Hill and will be teaching organization skills, History and English. He is here to help expand our minds. Welcome! We are honored to have you!
We would also like to give a big open-hearted welcome to our new students who will help Carlé grow and change. We have a good group this year with many artists, musicians, culinary artists, massage therapists and animal lovers.
The new additions are Cindy Amaral, Jason Andrews, André Ari, Anthony Boylen, Kelly Campo, Vonnie Claytor, Travis Conine, Daniel Davey, Mia Dupard, Jesse Epperson, Atlee Erickson, Todd Fiora, Kim Fuller, Corey Givens, Thurman Hardy, Josh Hays, Ashley Hoffee, Ayla Hummingbird, Steven Hunt, Dre'Shon Hunter, Crystal Koon, Marquice Lamar, Katherine Ledesma, Welsey Leverenz, Matthew Mack, Donnie McCosker, Alex Meek, Brandon Melton, Kristina Micheletti, Daniel Miller, Courtney Montiel, Steven Negrete, A.J.

Welcome and welcome back everyone!
We are fully packed this year with a whopping 100 students. We also have acquired five new smart boards which are at the top of the list for advanced teaching technological tools.
Starting the school year takes a lot of work for everyone, especially the maintenance crew. So we'd like to thank Dana Moore, Earl Brown and the whole maintenance crew for making this campus beautiful for the first day of school.
We are selling ads for the yearbook. A business card is $25, a quarter page is $50, a half a page is $80 and a whole page is $100. If you are interested in purchasing an ad to support our yearbook call Verna Rogers here at Carlé at 994-1033.
Thank you for reading the Carlé Chronicle!

Students were awarded the scholarships in June and will receive their scholarship during the fall semester. To earn scholarships, students must be members of MESA, demonstrate academic promise and be an engineering, math or computer science major.
There are about 90 scholarships rewarded statewide each year and the scholarship amount is $3,225 for the year, for a maximum of four years.
Hansen and Martinez each earned three year scholarships and will be transferring to four-year schools this upcoming fall and spring semesters.
Molina, Padilla, Ramirez and Rosales each earned four-year scholarships and are planning on transferring in the fall of 2008.
Hansen, who has a 3.8 GPA and will be going to the University of Michigan, plans on majoring in mechanical engineering. He serves as the Mendocino College MESA president and participated in a summer internship at the University of Michigan.
“Without being involved with MESA or having the help of Mendocino College MESA/Learning Center Director Margaret Sanchez, I wouldn’t have had many opportunities or been able to attend the University of Michigan,” Hansen said.
Martinez will be majoring in mechatronic engineering at Chico State University next spring and was the former Mendocino College MESA president. Martinez also served as an assistant teacher at the winter math institute and has a 3.0 GPA.
Gabriel Molina, Mike Padilla, Susana Ramirez and Gladis Rosales each earned four-year scholarships and are planning on transferring in the fall of 2008.
Molina plans on transferring to California Polytechnic State University, where he will be majoring in mechanic engineering. While serving as the Mendocino College MESA vice president and a tutor last spring, Molina maintained a 4.0 GPA.
Involved as a tutor for both MESA and the Mendocino College learning center, Padilla plans on trying to earn a football scholarship to an academic institution. Padilla, who is a member of the Mendocino College football team and is the president of the MESA club, holds a 3.8 GPA and was involved in a robotics internship last summer in Monterey.
“Earning a scholarship will be of great assistance in achieving my academic goals,” Padilla said.
Serving as the Mendocino College MESA treasurer and also as a tutor, Ramirez plans to major in civil engineering. Ramirez holds a 3.8 GPA and is currently doing computer research at SunGuard in San Diego.
Rosales, serves as a tutor for MESA and the HEP program at Mendocino College. Rosales has a 3.6 GPA and plans on majoring in computer science.
“All these students are heavily involved on campus and are great individuals. They are tutors, involved in workshops and are members of MESA,” Mendocino College Mesa Director Margret Sanchez said.

Saelee came to Mendocino College from Armijo High School in Fairfield. As a freshman (2004-05), he started 15 games. After redshirting the 2005-06 season, Saelee started 15 games at point guard and averaged 7 points and 4 assists this past season.
Feeling young when he first arrived at Mendocino College, Saelee believes that he has grown up as both a student and player since attending Mendocino College.
“Mendocino College was a great experience for me as a student-athlete,” Saelee said. “My basketball game has developed and the atmosphere with professors was outstanding.”
Saelee and the intangibles that he brought to the Mendocino College basketball program will be missed. However, Mendocino College Head Basketball Coach Kevin Koch is happy for him and the Cascade College basketball program.
“Kao is a young man who brought a tremendous amount of hustle, toughness and speed to our program over the last three years. He has matured tremendously as a student and as a young man over that time,” Koch said.
According to Koch, it is a great situation for Saelee since he can compete for a starting job right away and earn the final credits needed for his bachelor’s degree.
“I feel that the school is a good fit. With Cascade being a small school, I feel the program is designed for me to have success there,” Saelee said.
Cascade College is a member of the Cascade Collegiate Conference and was 5-24 last season.
