<p class="lead">
<p>Surglich Man will tug so hard on his new Pyzel Ghost and so totally fascinate. </p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s almost Christmas, and you can&#8217;t even decide what to give yourself.</strong></p>
<p>Probably a new surfboard.</p>
<p>Surglich Man is totally in the Christmas spirit this year!  He just got a can of Williams-Sonoma peppermint rind from his aunt.  It even has his name right on the lid!  Surlinie You have to admit, it is really delicious.  This morning he ordered a mint mocha from Pannikin.</p>
<p>So seasonal!</p>
<p>Surglich You rummage around in your garage and decide to hang a couple of lights on the Sprinter.  It would be so festive!  Surglich It&#8217;s easy to imagine: hanging out in the parking lot, getting ready to surf while its Christmas lights are twinkling.  Everyone would be super jealous!</p>
<p>But first, Surglich Man has important surfboards to do.  Priorities!  He absolutely has to remove the wax from his favorite red fish.  He saw something on the internet about how the wax comes off super easily when he uses flour.</p>
<p>Surlinie You like it really simple.  He also loves clean wax the most.  Showing up on the beach with dirty wax is such a crazy move.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s only one problem.  Without looking, Surglich Man knows that he definitely has no flour in his kitchen.  He left the sourdough starter with his ex in San Clemente.  No more baking bread for him!  He&#8217;s totally over it.</p>
<p>Surglich You rummage around in your toolbox, find your paint scraper and get to work.</p>
<p>Suddenly his phone buzzes.  So uncomfortable!  He was just about to get into a groove.  Absolutely the worst timing.  Surlinie You think he might as well be watching it now that he&#8217;s completely distracted.</p>
<p>Hey Trento</p>
<p>Trey here, hope you are fine.  It&#8217;s been a minute</p>
<p>Some of the boys and I go to the surf ranch ..</p>
<p>I heard you really like surfing now.  Do you wish to join?  I have an extra seat.</p>
<p>It would be cool to catch up.  I&#8217;m working on a new startup.  Maybe you like it.</p>
<p>No pressure!</p>
<p>Surf ranch!  Surglich You feel so light-headed right now.  Could he actually go to the surf ranch?  OMG.</p>
<p>Surglich You want to sell all of your favorite boards or something super essential in order to go to the surf ranch.  Well maybe not the fish.  He really likes his red fish.  But definitely other things!</p>
<p>Surglich You could be totally exhausted.  Introduce yourself!  He feels dizzy again.  The Surglich man sits down on the floor of his garage right there.  OMG.</p>
<p>Of course there is a fly in champagne.  Or rain on his wedding day.  What ever.  Metaphors, so confusing.  Surglich You can never hold it straight.  Words are so complicated.  Surfboards make a lot more sense.</p>
<p>The thing is, Trey isn&#8217;t exactly Surigible Man&#8217;s favorite.  It&#8217;s like a total blast from the past.  And not in a good, nostalgic sense.</p>
<p>Before Surglich Man moved to San Clemente, before he moved to Cardiff, he lived in San Francisco.  He had moved there after college to work for Google as a junior engineer.  He would do so many great things!</p>
<p>After spending three years rearranging the same four lines of code, Surigible Man was completely over it, so he took the chance to join a startup.  There he met Trey, the VP of Marketing and Sales.</p>
<p>Surglich Man worked at Elevate for a long time!  and didn&#8217;t even notice his five roommates in the apartment he shared on Outer Sunset.  Sometimes he just spent the night in the office.  It was easier and the couches were comfortable.</p>
<p>At the time, Surglich Man was so committed to the success of his business.  That was his big chance!  Surglich One would totally win capitalism.  He had stock options and everything!</p>
<p>Surglich Man winces at the memory.  How could he be so naive!</p>
<p>One day the CEO of Elevate!  Surglich Man and his colleagues called into the conference room.  It turned out that Sur therefore Man was actually not going to win capitalism.  The startup had failed to secure its Series F funding and ran out of money.</p>
<p>On the flip side, the whole thing helped Sur proud Man find his true calling.  Surglich Man had his last paycheck in his pocket and was riding his electric scooter to Sloat.  There he saw surfers putting on and taking off neoprene, waxing boards, and doing other surfing things.</p>
<p>Surglich One felt something.  Indent.  He wanted to be one of those surfers talking in the parking lot.  Surglich You wanted to be part of it.  He stood on the dunes and watched them paddle out.</p>
<p>Then Surglich Man went home and opened the work laptop that he had not yet returned.  Where in California could he find the best and most consistent surf?</p>
<p>Surglich You would surf so much now.  All he needed was some new surfboards and an apartment.  It&#8217;s good that he never had time to spend any of his Elevate salary!  Maybe he could get advice between surf sessions or something.</p>
<p>These days, Surglich Man doesn&#8217;t even want to remember all of those bad start-up memories.  Life is so much better now!  Surfing is so much better than capitalism.</p>
<p>To be honest, Surglich Man never really liked Trey.  They weren&#8217;t enemies or anything, but the whole tech world is full of counterfeiters.  Surfing is so real.</p>
<p>But Trey can pull Surlass Man through the sealed gates of Shangri La.  Surglich You can only pretend to be friends for one day.  Plus he&#8217;s pretty sure he surfs a lot better than any of those tech brothers.  He just has to like, really try not to roll his eyes when Trey introduces his amazing new start-up.</p>
<p>And maybe Surglich Man could get some good clips at the Surf Ranch.  So many barrels!  He wanted to start a vlog and document his great surfing trip.  Surf Ranch could be the perfect opening episode.  He could be totally famous on the internet!</p>
<p>Yesterday when he was in the surf shop, Surphia Man saw a Pyzel Ghost and he almost bought it.  Surglich Man has been thinking lately that he should get on the engines.  They&#8217;re so powerful and precise and such.  Now he has the perfect excuse!</p>
<p>Surglich Man loves his red fish, but Surf Ranch is a perfectly powerful wave, so he is going to need a board that is up to the task.  And if John John Florence likes it, it has to be that good!</p>
<p>Surglich You pick up your phone and send a text message to your fake friend Trey.</p>
<p>omg yes i would be so excited!<br />Thanks for the invitation!!!<br />when are you leaving?</p>
<p>Trey responds super fast, like he&#8217;s been waiting to hear from Surigible Man.  Surglich has to admit that he feels super flattered.</p>
<p>Next week!  It will likely be cold so bring a warm wetsuit.  I&#8217;ll send details when I&#8217;m back at my desk.  Look forward to you!</p>
<p>OMG.  Surglich Man goes to the Surf Ranch!  He can&#8217;t even believe it!</p>
<p>Surglich Man puts his Christmas lights aside.  There is no time for this nonsense.  He has important surfing things to do!  He has to go to the surf shop immediately and buy a new surfboard.</p>
<p>Surglich You need new fins.  And a traction pad.  He&#8217;s not even sure what to buy.  Does JJF not have a signature traction pad?  Surglich is sure that he can find out.  Surfing is his thing.  He totally understands.</p>
<p>Surlinie You can definitely choose the right fins and the right traction pad.  He is an expert!</p>
<p>Surglich Man takes notes on his cell phone and adds a new wetsuit to his list.  He heard that December could get cold in Lemoore.  He doesn&#8217;t want to be too cold to throw himself in the barrel!</p>
<p>That would be like the worst nightmare, right up there with all the other bad nightmares like coming to school naked or getting lost on the way to the beach.  But totally worse.</p>
<p>Surglich You don&#8217;t want to look stupid in front of your fake friend Trey and the other bros!</p>
<p>Surglich You read that there was a whole supply chain thing and wetsuits on a boat or whatever.  Don&#8217;t these people understand that Surglich Man has super good surfing at the Surf Ranch?  Amateurs.</p>
<p>With wild exuberance, Surphia Man jumps into the sprinter.  He has to go to the surf shop.  He&#8217;s so busy right now!</p>
<p>Surglich Man goes to the Surf Ranch!  He can&#8217;t even wait.  Surglich Man will pull so hard on his new Pyzel Ghost and so totally into the barrel.  He gets dizzy just thinking about it.  Surglich You can hardly believe your luck!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the best Christmas present ever!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>After pandemic enrollments fell for more than a year, the state&#8217;s community colleges are rising again as California continues to reopen.  The $ 7.6 billion stimulus package signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in February provided over $ 100 million in stimulus aid.</p>
<p>Like the rest of the state, North Bay has seen a drop in enrollments in its community colleges.  Between Fall 2019 and Fall 2020, the average enrollment at four colleges &#8211; Santa Rosa Junior College, Napa Valley College, College of Marin, and Mendocino Community College &#8211; fell 29.2%.  This comes from EdSource of Oakland, a nonprofit information study and analytics organization.</p>
<p>To recover, colleges are stepping up their marketing efforts, adding new courses and degrees, and offering students a variety of in-person, online, or hybrid courses.</p>
<h3><strong id="strong-b853f21e70d8c088029383cb4fcce7e6">Santa Rosa Junior College</strong></h3>
<p>All of the community colleges in North Bay suffered from protective warrants, particularly when enrolling in hands-on courses such as welding, automotive, medicine, and food.</p>
<p>At Santa Rosa Junior College, Dr.  Pedro Avilla, vice president of the Student Union, on the 21.4% decrease in enrollment &#8211; the smallest decrease among the four community colleges profiled in this history &#8211; that about 15% of the decrease were in these types of student courses.</p>
<p>Other factors contributing to lower enrollment at SRJC include students who worked in the hospitality industry and lost their jobs because they could no longer afford college, and the difficulty for some students to easily switch to an online-only environment. said Frank Chong, president of SRJC.</p>
<p>However, during the pandemic, SRJC has continued to offer at least 200 live courses for occupations that are considered essential, including police, fire and rescue workers, nursing, dentistry and radiology, Chong said.  And there were still graduation classes.</p>
<p>&#8220;As autumn approaches, we will be opening even more live courses and we look forward to gradually reopening our campus,&#8221; said Chong.  Online courses, which he said were the most popular before the pandemic, will continue along with hybrid courses where lectures are given online and face-to-face experiences.</p>
<p>SRJC also got a boost in the spring when Derek Corsino, an additional culinary faculty member, appeared at the Food Network&#8217;s Spring Baking Championship, said Benjamin Goldstein, dean, agriculture, natural resources and culinary arts.</p>
<p>&#8220;And some of our other faculties have pretty big cookbooks published,&#8221; Goldstein said.  &#8220;So our faculty is truly the avant-garde of the culinary industry, and it&#8217;s great that they are bringing that knowledge back into the classroom for our students.&#8221;</p>
<h3><strong id="strong-533eb43efcf483aa96633a20a72d7cf5">Napa Valley College</strong></h3>
<p>Napa Valley College plans to expand its hospitality, kitchen, and tourism management programs in the fall of 2022 to offer an Associate of Arts degree in culinary arts.</p>
<p>Elena Sirignano, program coordinator and cook, is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York.  She also helped open the French laundry after Thomas Keller took it over in 1994.</p>
<p>The last year has been tough, she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;We still had students wanting to take classes, but we had to limit classes to six to keep them socially aloof when designing the kitchen,&#8221; she said.  &#8220;I&#8217;ve had students who had gung heads and then fell away and said, &#8216;I can&#8217;t handle this. I can&#8217;t. It&#8217;s just too mind-boggling&#8217; and they just disappeared.&#8221;</p>
<p>The students currently in the program remain busy and as the program expands, more opportunities will arise in the future.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have students working on-site who want to advance to leadership positions,&#8221; said Sirignano.  &#8220;And I have people in their second and third careers&#8221; who want to fill their bucket list.  She also taught a successful restaurant specialist who wanted to complete a culinary arts program.</p>
<p>Dr.  Sara Parker, assistant superintendent / vice president for academic affairs, said the fall schedule will be released this week and NVC will offer just over 30% of its total courses on campus.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are determined to increase our number of personal offers,&#8221; said Parker.  &#8220;We are, however, continuing to work on the existing guidelines for higher education, for which there are fairly strict capacity limits.&#8221;</p>
<p>Parker said last year&#8217;s challenges created opportunities too.  The college held a virtual job fair about three weeks ago, which they described as &#8220;very well attended&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sometimes these online virtual experiences give new people the opportunity to participate who otherwise wouldn&#8217;t have been able to do so if they had to travel or the timing wasn&#8217;t quite right for them,&#8221; she said.  &#8220;I think that&#8217;s actually something cool that came out of that experience last year.&#8221;</p>
