I have a saying in life: "The only thing you can count on is change." I developed this view from living a rather tumultuous childhood, coupled with further confusion into my 20s. This saying could be adopted by anyone reading this, given the nature of life. I have to admit I felt an undue sadness at hearing that Nancy Blade was resigning [as Laguna Beach High School principal]. I don't even know who I was sad for, just having the feeling, for what it's worth. I wish her best in whatever she sets her hand to. I haven't had long to get to know her but I have felt her heart for educating the children.

Laguna Beach High School students resumed testing local ocean waters for bacteria this week after a three-month hiatus. The seven-year program, which had been sponsored by the Laguna Beach chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, was halted in December after Surfrider decided not to fund water testing in the schools. The Laguna Beach School District PTA Council stepped in with funding to continue the program through the end of the year. The bacteria counts are not considered official by the county Health Department, which conducts its own routine testing and posts warning signs or closes beaches when bacteria counts are at unsafe levels.
