Page 14 September 17, 2015 EL SEGUNDO HERALD Jeanie Nishime from front page Dr. Jeanie Nishime has busy days and nights, but still manages to keep a bright smile on her face at all times, looking forward to a future filled with enormous possibilities. [Following this interview and submission of this profile, Jeanie Nishime announced her incumbent candidacy for a seat on the El Segundo Unified School District Board of Trustees.] • Hottest Days from page 3 treatment. The odor you are noticing may be a secondary skin infection. Avoid accidental poisoning. Many people will put mouse and rat bait in the garage or attic around this time of year. Even if you don’t use it, your neighbor might. Rodent poison is highly toxic even in small amounts and can lead to bleeding and death days after it is ingested. Rats will often carry the bait from one location to another and drop it as they walk the power lines and fences exposing pets in your yard. Check your outside pet area for any sign of this common poison. Most rodent poison will have a blue green color. Finally, if you haven’t had to take your pet to the clinic this year, double check your pet’s records for the basics. Make sure the vaccines are up to date and the identification tags and microchips reflect current addresses and phone numbers. Remember to keep your best friend healthy and safe.

He is a retired pilot who served in the US Air Force for six years and, then, as a reservist for 24 years. We have raised seven children between (Jeanie-2, Spence-5) us. We both still enjoy so many things together. In fact, we may have to dust off those roller blades soon and recreate our first date.” of summer marks the beginning of the fall allergy season. The dry windy conditions and the pollen from grass and weeds this time of year result in many itchy pets. One way you can help your allergic pet avoid prolonged contact with these pollens is by simply bathing them more often. There is the random cat that may let you bathe it but most cat owners should avoid the suds and stick to wipes. Some dogs will require baths once per week or even more frequently, so the type of shampoo is very important. If your dog is itchy and scratching but the skin and coat appear otherwise normal, use a mild soap free shampoo. Shampoos without soap or detergent will clean the coat and skin without stripping off important oils. If your dog’s skin looks inflamed, prescription shampoo may be indicated. Always follow up with a good conditioner such as aloe vera or oatmeal containing products. These painting ingredients have been shown to help retain moisture in the skin and help decrease itching. If your pet is scratching and has a “doggy odor” then it’s time to visit your veterinarian and get proper PAINTERS PLUS USC from page 6 on Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. USC will also have to get through Utah, Arizona and Oregon, among other opponents before their season comes to a close while UCLA seems to only have Utah in week 11 as true competition. Naturually, there is also the rivalry game which comes in the last week of the season. This year, it will be at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The Bruins have won the last three consecutive rivalry matchups between the two clubs and every game since Jim Mora has become the UCLA head coach. INTERIOR • EXTERIOR PLUS While USC has generated all of the offseason buzz this year, Rosen looks like he just might be the real deal. If the freshman quarterback remains true to form, the Bruins may just have the experience around him to keep the streak going. When in doubt, though, go with the team that has the proven quarterback. Kessler is exactly that. November 28th will tell us exactly who the better team is. Until then, while we all spend the year speculating, the Trojans and the Bruins will give us one extremely interesting college football season, full of excitement and competitive banter. • IMPROVEMENTS • REPAIRS FREE ESTIMATES LOWEST PRICES • GUARANTEED QUALITY 5 YEAR FREE MAINTENANCE SERVING THE BEACH CITIES FOR OVER 20 YEARS CALL DON 310-798-0450 LIC # 726089 “I really enjoy working with my colleagues on the ESUSD Board. I bring a different perspective since my experience in education is so different. I see where the missing pieces are when the students get to college and can make recommendations about curriculum and development at the local level. It is so important to prepare students for the choices before them in college. “I am so proud of the many projects the Board has accomplished. The middle school International Baccalaureate (IB) Designation is such an important one for our schools. The fact that we have a 1:1 iPad program is also an accomplishment for the teachers at the middle and high schools, to make the adjustments necessary to teach from that technological perspective, honoring the investment made in the program, teachers, and students is unprecedented, “We have weathered many challenges as well, not the least of which is the predicament caused by lack of state financial support. We have had to be creative with budgeting and not spending even when students are expected to perform to the highest standards. Standards are paramount and our students adapted to Common Core and revisions in mathematics and science pathways as they compete for acceptance at top colleges and universities. “Each day I deal with academic issues at El Camino, with professors, program managers, and administrators.

It is not time to retire yet. Our president at El Camino will be retiring early next year, so the outcome of that will present some challenges, I am sure.

Mostly, though, it is the great staff at El Camino with whom I have the most daily interaction. “Students come to me when there is nowhere else for them to go, but ‘up the chain.’ I guess you can say ‘The buck stops here’ is a good reason for a student to come and see me,” she laughed. The Admissions, Counseling, Financial Aid Department, Student Outreach, Support Services, First-Year Experience, Student Development, and Student Complaints and Grievances, the Business Training Center, ECC Foundation, and the ECC Grants come under her jurisdiction. “Students get such a better education at the community college level at El Camino than many people give the system credit for,” she explained. “All teachers of academic programs have a masters or doctorate degree. Our students are being taught in smaller classes, by the actual professor of record. We don’t actually have Teaching Assistants who teach courses, such as they do at the university level. “We prepare the student to advance to the UC or Cal State schools of their choice. At El Camino, we have developed the best STEM program in the entire state community college system,” she shares with pride. “We have counselors embedded in our academic programs and classes to support our students. We have the highest acceptance rate to UCLA of any community college Honors Transfer Program in the state.” Jeanie Nishime is currently the President of the Board of Trustees of the El Segundo Unified School District (ESUSD), where she has served as a Board member since 2011. “When I was commuting to Pasadena every day I didn’t have time to do many outside activities, although I wanted to be more involved in them. Once I started working at El Camino I could see my way to being more involved outside of work. “But then I got married and thought, ‘I need to enjoy being home and cooking a meal to share with Spence every night.’ Spence is active in many activities, especially with our church family, and he was very encouraging when I mentioned entering the election for the school board. He started ordering signs and we were off and running!” she giggled softly. “When I started campaigning I realized that I could really contribute something about the way things work from the state level, having been employed by the state in the community college system for so long.
