Paseo Nuevo Delivers Another Magical Holiday Lineup

LAUNTING THEIR CREATIVITY AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT��

BLACK FRIDAY – The ofﬁcial start to the holiday gift buying season, Black Friday on November 25th will launch all things holiday! We’re getting an early start with a 7am opening, although many retailers will open even earlier with Macy’s taking the lead and opening at 5pm on Thanksgiving. For a full list of store hours, visit http:// paseonuevoshopping.com/event/black-friday/

LET IT SNOW – Check out Santa Barbara’s “best in snow”! Nightly snowfall shows will take place twice each evening in Center Court as a flurry of white snow falls down on our new Christmas tree, singing carolers, shoppers, and families. This magical experience will bring joy to adults and amaze children! Snowfall shows will take place nightly and start promptly at 6pm and 7pm from Friday, November 25 to Friday, December 30th (no shows on Christmas Day). New! SILENT NIGHT SILENT DISCO – On December 1st Thursday, join us for the first ever Silent Night, a silent disco holiday dance party for the entire family! Wear your ugliest sweater and be prepared to dance and sing-a-long to DJ’s mixing your favorite holiday tunes through your headphones – it’s all in your head! Come early to get headsets for the entire family. The silent disco will kick off with the first snowfall in Center Court right at 6pm and end at 9pm. Join the community for the funnest night of the season – and it’s free! VISIT SANTA – Santa takes up residence in his new home in Paseo Nuevo’s Center Court starting Friday, November 25th! Children will be able to visit him each day through December 24th. Monday mornings November 28th to December 12th have been reserved for children with special needs and Tuesday evenings will be open for pet photo nights where even the furriest family members can snap a shot with Santa. Every child will receive a free gift and Santa’s elves will be on hand to catch the perfect precious moment in a photo. Photo packages start at $23 and digital downloads are instantly available via text message. LIVE ENTERTAINMENT – It wouldn’t be the holidays without costumed carolers, holiday horns, colossal choirs, and the occasional squeezebox roaming throughout the center filling the paseos with holiday joy! A robust schedule of over 20 live entertainment ensembles will perform throughout the season nearly every day. For the full schedule of performers, dates and times, visit http:// paseonuevoshopping.com/event/holiday-entertainment/ GIFT WRAPPING – Turn the dreaded task of wrapping all your gifts into a charitable opportunity instead! Stop by the LifeChronicles Gift Wrapping Station near Center Court, December 12-24 and, for

a $5 minimum donation, you can have your gifts wrapped by their community volunteers. LifeChronicles is a local non-proﬁt whose mission is to help families heal and connect by videotaping the life stories of elderly family members or a seriously ill loved one. Your donation will help defray costs and expand their services. New! VALET – Less driving, more shopping – it’s our gift to you! Enjoy the service and convenience of valet every weekend this season at Paseo Nuevo. Located in the lower-level of the South Parking Garage, near Macy’s, valet will be at your service Fridays starting at 1pm and Saturdays and Sundays during center hours. #PaseoNuevoMagic – This will truly be a magical season! For a chance to WIN, guests can Snap, Share and Tag their holiday experience on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter with @ShopPaseoNuevo and hashtag #PaseoNuevoMagic! New winners will be chosen every week starting November 25. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ShopPaseoNuevo Twitter: https://twitter.com/ShopPaseoNuevo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ShopPaseoNuevo Paseo Nuevo is the Paciﬁc Coast’s most distinctive collection of unique, stylish retailers between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Presented in a charming, open-air Spanish setting, Paseo Nuevo features 154,900 square feet of specialty retailers and restaurants like Eureka! Gourmet Burgers, Sephora, Lush, Victoria’s Secret, Aveda, Lorna Jane and others.

Utterly Breathless Never Uninteresting Courington-Yatchisin-Starkey

Flutter Press Poets

MILY DICKINSON AND PABLO NERUDA�� ON POETRY �� Chella Courington �� Dream of New Mexico In La Madera, you ﬁnd me late afternoon sun at my back hips wider than yours, gathering skulls. We roam red hills— ocher, orange and purple earth cracked by hot blowing sand. A solitary penitent, dark veil over torso, trudges near us. Bulky black crosses cover the desert. You kiss my scars, ghosts of my breasts. Seven years mortiﬁcation fade under evening bells from Ranchos de Taos.

�� Eurydice Women have cried over my conﬁnement in hell by a husband who loved me so he could not turn away could not abide the caveat. These long dark days underground breathless I have not lived yearning for him. I’m ﬁne.

��

Reshelter

My world is nailed into its genuﬂections— ah ginger root, ah psalm, ample indigents all. Outside the sky is cobalt and heaving, a baby, nattering its bib, bleary like eyes propped open with onions. So I turn my kitchen into church, my scraps into oddments, a bloodless coup. King of nothing more enormous than home, and yes, alone, but what of it when garlic sidles across the skillet and the air ﬁlls with sleeves of scents to hold me in.

�� George Yatchisin �� Joy Loader The machine you operate is enormous, loud and orange. The rumble of crushers and conveyors, the tumbling of coal. Your lights play against the mine shaft, slashing at the reluctant darkness. Your face— where it’s not covered by helmet, goggles and mask—is bathed in inky dust. You work the levers, operate the winch, pry loose a glossy chunk of anthracite from the gathering-arm teeth. Someone calls you from the surface on the two-way radio, but you don’t recognize the voice.

ANTA BARBARA COUNTY VETERAN BRUCE BENNETT survived grave shrapnel injuries on April 30th, 1968, when a mortar hit a tree above his foxhole while he was serving in Vietnam. He has since undergone ﬁve back surgeries and continues to live with chronic back pain as a result of the injuries; but one thing he never received was a Purple Heart. Nearly half a century later, the 68-year-old Los Olivos man received the long-awaited military honor. In a special ceremony held on Nov. 18th, Congresswoman Lois Capps presented the Purple Heart Medal to the former U.S. Marine Corps Corporal, who sustained a major back injury and leg wound 48 years ago in Vietnam. Congresswoman Capps presented the Purple Heart Medal to Bennett in front of close family and friends who gathered to honor him at Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Center, a place Bennett calls his “saving grace” and “heaven on earth.” Alexis Weaver, executive director of Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Center; Bruce Bennett, Purple Heart recipient; Con“Wounds need to be treated, and gresswoman Lois Capps; Devon Sachey, program director at you can’t go to a war without having Hearts and local veteran. wounds,” Congresswoman Capps said before presenting the Purple Heart to Bennett. “Medals need to be given — that’s a good American tradition — but they can’t be forgotten.” Bennett joined Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Center as a volunteer in 2007, shortly after retiring, and went on to serve on the board of directors. He is a founding member of the organization’s Horses for Heroes riding program for U.S. veterans, now called Operation Unbridled Freedom, which provides equine-assisted therapy and the opportunity to ride and interact with horses and fellow veterans at no cost. Bennett continues to ride with the group every Wednesday. “Bruce Bennett not only helped create our Veterans program, but has been involved—riding, supporting, and recruiting participants—for years,” said Alexis Weaver, executive director of Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Center. “Bruce is one of those rare people that truly make an impact on your life, helping you gain a greater understanding and appreciation for the men and women who serve their country.” The Purple Heart Medal, the nation’s oldest military decoration, was originally conceived by President George Washington in 1782 and is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy.

No one would take her when Ruth passed. As the survivors assessed some antiques, I kept hearing, “She’s old. Somebody should put her down.”

��

I picked her up instead. Every night I tell her about the ﬁsh who died for her, the ones in the cheerful aluminum cans.

��

She lies on my chest to sleep, rising and falling, rising and falling like a rowboat fastened to a battered dock by a string.
