New Carpinteria Community Association to host April Community Awards Banquet
A new nonprofit – the Carpinteria Community Association (CCA) – is now operating in town. Community members can meet the charter board members at the Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center on Thursday, Dec. 14, 5–7 p.m. during the Carpinteria Community Christmas Celebration, board member Pam Werner told CVN. “Our primary charge is to host the Community Awards Banquet, a cherished tradition that honors the Carpinterian of the Year and the Junior Carpinterian of the Year. Additionally, we provide a venue at which our non-profits and many service organizations can recognize their most outstanding members,” said Karen Graf, president of the Carpinteria Community Association. The banquet originally got its start in 1958, then known as the Man of the Year event, before it took on the Carpinterian of the Year Banquet title in the early 1970s. For the past two years, the awards banquet has been organized by the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, following the merger of the Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce in 2020. The Carpinteria Community Awards Banquet is scheduled for Saturday, April 6 at 5:30 p.m. at Girls Inc. of Carpinteria, 5315 Foothill Road.

Crooks elected as new Citizens for the Carpinteria Bluffs president
Patrick Crooks is the new president of the Citizens for the Carpinteria Bluffs, the nonprofit announced last week. Crooks, who lives in Carpinteria with his wife and their two children, works as a project scientist as Langan Engineering & Environmental services. He has also volunteered on the city of Carpinteria’s Open Space Management and Tree Advisory boards. “Realizing places like Carpinteria don’t happen by accident, that it takes people getting involved, has inspired me to join groups like Citizens for the Carpinteria Bluffs,” Crooks said in a press release sent out last week. The nonprofit was initially founded in the 1990s to conserve the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve and Viola Fields. Crooks has pledged to preserve two parcels on the Carpinteria bluffs – a private Patrick Crooks property currently occupied by Tee Time Driving Range – where a developer has proposed a hotel and apartment housing, according to a press release. The Citizens for the Carpinteria Bluffs Board also includes Christie Boyd, Bunni Lesh, Julia Mayer, Jessica Mayer, Gary Campopiano, Marty Selfridge, Mauricio Gomez, Kristen Van Der Kar and Andrea Adams Morden, according to a press release from the nonprofit. Susan Allen also serves as vice president, Whitney Abbott as secretary and John Tilton as treasurer. Past president Ted Rhodes – who, alongside Arturo Tello and other Carpinterians, led the 1990s effort to project the nature preserve from development – added that the nonprofit is excited to have “new, younger Bluffs activists” taking the helm.

CITY BEAT City Council, Planning Commission dive deep into housing law
4 Thursday, December 7, 2023
Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California
Leaders unravel the Housing Accountability Act, Density Bonus Law and more in special joint meeting BY RYAN P. CRUZ The statewide push to build more housing has affected every California community, but in smaller cities like Carpinteria, the growing expectations from the state have caused strain on local review boards, which have struggled to navigate the often contradictory and ever-evolving housing laws at local, county and state levels. This week, members of Carpinteria’s City Council and Planning Commission sat down for a special joint meeting to go over several housing-specific laws that have changed the way local governments review projects. The meeting’s intent was to help local leaders better understand the California Density Bonus Law, Housing Accountability Act and Coastal Act, and how Carpinteria can “harmonize” the intent of all three laws to allow for new housing while also preserving the slowgrowth small beach town character. As Community Development Director Nick Bobroff explained it, by understanding the current state of housing law and
For the record...
In CVN Vol. 29, No. 11, CVN printed that Cate football player Henry Bouma earned the Tri-Valley League’s Defensive Player of the Year award and became Cate’s first-ever three-time All-CIF selection. While Bouma did earn first-team All-CIF and first team All-League honors, it was Cate senior Kristian Scurtis that was named the league’s Defensive Player of the Year and the first Cate player to ever be selected All-CIF three years in a row. In CVN Vol. 29, No. 11, “An odor-control pact with Carpinteria cannabis growers breaks down,” cannabis is currently under cultivation on 116 acres at 20 greenhouse operations in the Carpinteria Valley; and 36% of the approved 162 acres could be equipped with scrubbers by the end of 2024.
how it affects and intertwines with the city’s local plan, the council and planning commission would know exactly how to “exercise discretion on projects going forward.” The city’s legal counsel team of Mack Carlson and Cody Sargeant were on hand to explain the ins and outs of the three laws, why they were created and how they could help or hurt the city of Carpinteria. This included “potential conflicts and inherent risks to the city,” Carlson said, which could lead to the city council or planning commission inadvertently breaking state law. “Our hope is that we can explain that risk and provide guidance to mitigate that risk,” he said. Density Bonus Law, for example, was created as a way to give developers incentives for providing much-needed affordable housing in California. Through this provision, housing developers who are willing to set aside a portion of their units as “affordable” would be granted incentives like the ability to build more units per acre or exceptions for parking requirements. This would allow developers to build up to four more units for every one unit they were willing to offer as affordable to very low-income households (in Santa Barbara County, that would be households making less than $73,950 annually). These types of incentives were intended to help meet the increasing demand for affordable housing after years of developers building strictly market-rate housing, but on the local level, it has created conflicts, with many new developments coming in more densely packed and causing parking problems in smaller neighborhoods. The Housing Accountability Act further hamstrings the city boards and commissions by putting limitations on a city’s ability to “deny, reduce the density, or make infeasible” any housing developments that meet objective standards. The city’s legal team explained that, under this law, city council and planning commission could use “no personal or subjective judgment” to deny incoming projects meeting minimum standards.
“This pendulum is swaying over to having to approve too many housing units without thinking of the cumulative impacts (...) We can’t deny a project even if it doesn’t have enough parking.”
– Planning Commissioner Jane Benefield
Jane Benefield, chair of the City Planning Commission, expressed her concerns about possible effects of the Density Bonus Law and Housing Accountability Act, which may create a situation where the city is approving more units than it would have otherwise. “This pendulum is swaying over to having to approve too many housing units without thinking of the cumulative impacts,” she said. “We can’t deny a project even if it doesn’t have enough parking.” If those two laws weren’t confusing enough, the fact that the city is located entirely in the Coastal Zone complicates things even further, since both the Density Bonus Law and Housing Accountability Act have some unintended, untested and unaddressed conflicts with the Coastal Act. The Coastal Act is intended to protect marine habitats and visual resources and preserve public access to the coast. It has historically been viewed as a way to stop coastal areas from becoming too heavily developed. Both the Density Bonus Law and Housing Accountability Act have language stating that they do not supersede the Coastal Act, but the Coastal Act also explicitly says that it “should not (be) used to exempt local governments from meeting requirements of affordable housing,” which leaves much up to interpretation, according to the city’s legal team. For Carpinteria, it was unclear whether the Coastal Act prevented projects with
exemptions for height, parking or density. The courts have not yet weighed in on how to interpret the laws together, leading to what the city’s legal team called an “inherent risk with the lack of guidance.” But, Carlson said, in similar situations in which laws had conflicting language, the courts have historically supported “harmonization” that gives the effect and intent of each law while “reconciling inconsistencies.” That means looking at other cases, like that of a mixed-use project proposed in the Coastal Zone in Santa Cruz, which due to a density bonus was approved with several deviations from the city’s coastal guidelines. It was 20 feet taller than any other project in the area, was granted 23 extra units and rooftop patios that were not typically allowed. An appeal of the project with the Coastal Commission was eventually denied, with the commission ruling that some deviations were to be permitted for projects that provide affordable housing “as long as doing so does not lead to significant coastal zone impacts.” The Coastal Commission is expected to meet in the near future to discuss potential changes to address the inconsistencies in the language of the law. Moving forward, Carpinteria’s legal counsel will continue to keep a close eye on the ever-evolving laws and “numerous cases moving through the courts,” staff said. The city’s boards will continue tweaking the local standards for residential development to try and make more specific, objective guidelines, helping guide the decision making on new projects. This includes design standards to preserve a “small beach town character” in the Downtown-T area and anti-displacement measures to help address housing affordability in the city.

Thanks from outgoing city manager
Thank you, Carpinteria, for supporting me throughout the nearly 25 years I have been honored to serve you. Since announcing my retirement from the city manager position earlier this year, many of you have gone out of your way to call, write, or stop me to talk. These gestures of kindness are a reminder for me about how our wonderful community can embrace and uplift. I was very moved by the Carpinteria City Council’s recognition of me and by all of the folks who turned out at the Nov. 27 meeting. I remain humbled by the trust put in me by the city council that hired me, the current council and every council in between that chose to honor me with such a great responsibility. I’ve had the good fortune to work with supportive, knowledgeable and engaged council members, colleagues and community members over the years, including those of you who have been willing and able to serve the community in various capacities through the city. My career here in Carpinteria has been very rewarding, in large part due to all of you. Finally, I’m thrilled with the council’s selection of Assistant City Manager Michael Ramirez as the next city manager. Michael will lead a city organization made up of dedicated employees who are motivated by public service. I’m confident they will meet the needs and expectations of the Carpinteria community into the future.

“Carpinteria is the only coastal city in California that does not have a designated dog park. It is high time that our city council take action and provide this important space for our community!”
–– Kevin Twohy
throw a party with the pungent smell of manure very much lingering in the air, I’m pretty sure the guests at an upscale “resort and farm” planned for the Tee Time bluffs will not share their sense of humor – or tolerance. There are so many reasons why the proposed Tee Time development, which includes plans for an organic farm, is actually incompatible with good farming practices. As a third generation Carpinteria farmer who has honored our organic certification for twenty years, I can say that farming is messy. Besides the fertilizer factor, early working hours, noisy farm equipment and applications of nutrients and inputs are all inconsistent with the resort lifestyle this development proposal is selling. How will crops be irrigated adjacent to subterranean parking structures? What kind of crops can viably be grown to feed resort guests? It would inevitably become a “boutique” farm with minimal maintenance needs. Herbs? Most importantly, it is essential that we Carpinterians think about the best use of this valuable land, and how it can serve our community. The farm proposed by developers will not feed Carpinterians, just as the planned housing will not be sufficient to house the employees hired to work at a resort. So who really benefits?

Time for a dog park in Carpinteria
In response to the letter published last week by Felix Schneider (CVN Vol. 30 No. 11) regarding the community issue of needing a suitable dog park, I have to respectfully disagree with his assessment. First, a significant percentage of Carpinteria households have at least one dog; some have two or three. So this is not a small “special interest group,” but in fact comprises many of your neighbors. Secondly, there will be a substantial difference in usage of Monte Vista Park, compared to El Carro: unlike El Carro, the Monte Vista Park will have a fenced area for dogs, and there will undoubtedly be less heightened conflicts among park users and dogs. Further, I have been to many other dog parks and rarely is there “piercing noise” from dogs; more often piercing noises come from happy children and the many parties and play activities they engage in. Carpinteria is the only coastal city in California that does not have a designated dog park. It is high time that our city council take action and provide this important space for our community!
Repeal the Death Tax is probably not the best name for this initiative. It should be named “Restoring Proposition 13 for Future Generations.” In 1978, legislator Howard Jarvis instigated a taxpayer rebellion, and on June 6 of that year, the voters of California overwhelmingly approved Proposition 13, and it converted the market-value based property tax system i.e., what the state thinks your property is worth to an Acquisition-value based system, i.e. What you paid for your home. Families who had spent their entire lives paying their mortgages, interest, insurance, and taxes were being taxed out of their hmes. For more than 40 years Proposition 13 has worked and saved families. Ensuring a home for your family is not only the American dream, it is the greatest gift of stability and security you can give to your children. But Proposition 19 changed that. If your primary residence is thought to be worth $1 million or more, your children will be reassessed at the higher market-value rate. Which means unless they are very rich, they will be taxed out of their own family home. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayer Association wants to fix this and two other things. This initiative will allow the transfer of the principal residence to the child or grandchild without property tax reassessment. Second, those who have already received new inflated tax bills under Prop. 19 will be restored to Prop. 13 Acquisition tax base. Third, you do not have to live in the family’s home to keep your Prop. 13 tax base. I have the petition to put this initiative on the ballot in 2024. I will be collecting signatures from noon to 2 p.m. this Friday, Dec. 8. at the seal fountain in front of Smart and Final. Please come and sign it.

SCHOOL BOARD School Board hears principals’ goals, strategies for 2023-24

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California
BY JUN STARKEY
The Carpinteria Unified School District Board of Trustees heard from several district principals about their goals and strategies during its Nov. 28 meeting, including Aliso Principal Brett Weiberg, Canalino Principal Jamie Persoon, Carpinteria Middle School (CMS) Principal Lisa O’Shea and Carpinteria High School (CHS) Principal Gerardo Cornejo. The principals all discussed their Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) outlines, a consolidation of academic plans created to ensure student success, by outlining goals, potential inequities, strategies and analyzing their impacts on the overall budget. For Aliso Elementary, Canalino and Carpinteria Family School, Weiberg and Persoon noted that because the goals and strategies of Aliso and Canalino are similar, they regularly work together to collaborate and exchange ideas. At Aliso Elementary School, Weiberg provided a brief update on the makeup of the school for the 2022-23 school year, which includes 329 students, 88% Hispanic and 8% white. Weiberg compared enrollment to the 2021-22 school year, which saw 347 students. Of the 329 students, 136 were English learners, 16% were proficient in English and 18% were reclassified as English proficient. The rate of chronic absenteeism for the 2022-23 school year was 25%. Canalino Elementary and Carpinteria Family School have 428 students and 56 students enrolled respectively; 67% are Hispanic and 30% are white. Enrollment at both schools decreased from the previous years, with 498 students at Canalino and 65 students at CFS the previous year. There are 125 English learners across all grades at Canalino, and 16 students were reclassified as English proficient. The rate of chronic absenteeism was 22.8%. Weiberg outlined five goals for Aliso, the majority of which were also goals for Canalino. These included getting 60% of students in kindergarten through fifth grade to score at grade level for the STAR reading and math assessments; increasing student attendance; increasing parent participation; increasing student leadership through the student council; cultivating a “college-going culture”; and encouraging Aliso staff, students and families to use the Five Elements of Cultural Proficiency to serve as a standard for developing policies and practices. Strategies or activities used to improve student scores at Aliso and Canalino have included Professional Learning Communities, with teachers collaborating to find the best ways to meet students’ needs; family math night in October; GATE and English Language Development courses for third, fourth and fifth graders; professional development in math from Kristy Guerrero, one of the leaders for the Early Elementary Workshop run by the UC Santa Barbara Math Project; teacher training in the Orton-Gillingham Reading Method; and one-on-one after school tutoring with teachers. At CMS, 402 students are enrolled, with 78% of the student body identifying as Hispanic. English learners include 19%
At Canalino Elementary School, 64% of students are socioeconomically disadvantaged. of the student population, with 36% of students reclassified as English proficient. At CHS, 610 students are enrolled. The majority of students identified as Hispanic, at 76%, and American Indian, at 46%. Principal O’Shea shared data from the California Healthy Kids Survey, a mental health survey administered to seventh graders to gauge school climate, mental health risks and student resilience. This year, 104 students from CMS participated in the survey, compared to 128 students last year. In the mental health portion of the results, 62% of students reported feeling satisfied with their lives, while 33% of participants reported feelings of chronic sadness, and 14% said they had considered suicide. This is an increase from the previous year, when 22% of students reported chronic sadness and 9% saying they had considered suicide. “We do have a really strong mental health team that is supporting our students,” O’Shea told the board. The goals for CMS and CHS were very similar, and included increasing student learning with high quality, standards-based instruction differentiated for every student; encouraging students to actively engage in learning and participate in a positive school culture in partnership with parents; promoting college and career readiness; and maintaining a well-updated and safe campus. Activities to increase student learning at CMS have included increasing English language development support for emerging bilingual students; providing enriching literature and history dual language classes to bilingual students; offering after-school support and enrichment for students; increasing collaboration between special education and general education teachers; and increasing special education teacher monitoring of special education student progress in reaching math standards.

Currently, 31 students are enrolled in the dual enrollment calculus course, and 42 are enrolled in statistics. “(CTE) is what, I’ve always said, brings our students to class,” Cornejo told the board. “This is relevant, this is engaging and these are life skills that students will be able to leave Carpinteria High School with.”

The Carpinteria Unified School District Board of Trustees approved Cody Schwasnick’s Eagle Scout project last week; Schwasnick will build a new eight-foot-long, four-foot-wide BBQ pit at Carpinteria High School. The current pit is deteriorating, Schwasnick said, with holes in the bottom.
Board approves BBQ pit Eagle Scout project
On Tuesday, Nov. 28, the CUSD School Board approved an Eagle Scout project from CHS senior Cody Schwasnick, who plans to construct an eight-foot-long, fourfoot-wide concrete barbeque pit at the high school, he told board members Tuesday. An Eagle Scout project is a service project done by students hoping to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. A scout decides on a project that benefits the community, then enlists other members of the troop to complete the task. The pit, Schwasnick said, will be constructed between the football field concession stand and the fence around the baseball diamond. The inside of the pit will be fire brick to keep the outside from cracking, and it will be painted with the CHS logo. Schwasnick said he chose the BBQ pit as his project due to the deterioration of the current pit at CHS, which was constructed out of metal and has begun to rust. He said the stone pit will last longer, and the grill from the current pit will be reused for the new one. Schwasnick hopes to begin the project over winter break, to ensure it is complete before the school year begins.

Community garden welcomes new coordinator Wendi Dunn BY JUN STARKEY
The Carpinteria Community Garden’s new garden coordinator Wendi Dunn has fallen seamlessly into her new role since beginning in October of this year, with plans to bring educational classes and community gatherings back to the garden. Dunn has worked with plants for more than 15 years; she holds a certificate of horticulture and gardening from UC Los Angeles. Her green thumb is hereditary, she said, with several generations of her family working with plants, including her aunt, cousin and mother. “My passion is food production and farming,” Dunn told CVN. Dunn moved to Carpinteria about a year ago from Malibu, she said, but has been visiting the Carpinteria Community Garden for years before finding a place in the city. She also taught a handful of classes under the previous coordinator Wendy Robins. “I’ve seen (the garden) since its inception, and always said I wanted to be the manager,” she said. Like nearly all gardeners, Dunn takes pride in her work and in keeping sustainability in mind throughout all practices. She said she employs a precautionary principle in farming of doing no harm, and she adheres to this principle by encouraging pollinators, maintaining several compost heaps and planting certain vegetation for pesticides. “When you know what to plant, you don’t need chemicals,” she said. Dunn learned almost everything she knows from her family, including most of her sustainability practices, she said. In 2016, she spoke in front of the California

certain plants if a gardener is uncertain, and offers advice on how to get the most out of their plots. During her interview with CVN on Thursday, Nov. 30, a gardener approached Dunn to inquire about small sprouts popping up in their plot. Dunn identified the sprouts as calendula, and advised the gardener on how to use the plant in their plot without crowding other vegetables and roots. She also oversees the completion of tasks. As a condition of being a garden member, all 108 gardeners are required to volunteer a certain amount of time in the garden. Tasks include tending to the compost area, cleaning worm bins, tending fences and pulling weeds. A major goal for her new position is to share her knowledge with others, Dunn told CVN, as well as provide educational opportunities for the community. She said she plans on hosting quarterly events in the garden, including beekeeping classes,

My favorite things can be challenging through diet alone. I like magnesium glycinate, citrate or a combination of the two. If you speak to your doctor and decide it’s right for you or a loved one, start with a half dose at night and gradually increase it to prevent any stomach upset. It’s a small step with significant potential benefits for overall well-being.

My favorite fitness device
LEAH HARDING This month, I wanted to depart from my normal whit and education and talk about a few of my favorite things. It may inspire your holiday shopping list for the ones you love. The categories below are in no particular order; I have not been paid to discuss them, nor am I receiving a referral fee. These really are just things I like.
My favorite shoes
Wearing comfortable shoes is a non-negotiable for me, and since 2002, Brooks has been my go-to brand. Whether I’m running (slowly) or going about my day, Brooks shoes have been the only ones I can slip my foot into and go – no breaking in required (side note: no athletic shoe should ever need “breaking in” if they fit correctly). Having switched between models over the years, its consistent comfort and durability keep me coming back. If you need help determining which style suits you best, the online quiz helps identify your foot type, whether you’re a supinator or pronator, ensuring the perfect fit for your unique needs.
My favorite health/nutrition books
In the book “Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art” by James Nestor (niche), the author explores how we breathe and why that’s important. “Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine” by Robert Lustig (science-y) dives into nutrition, medicine, health/disease, science and the environment. “You Can’t Screw This Up” by Adam Bornstein (general au-
Some of the author’s favorite Brooks shoes. dience) is close to what I would write as a nutrition coach if I ever had the gumption to write a book.
My favorite podcasts
When it comes to podcasts, two favorites stand out. “Mind Over Macros” strikes a perfect balance, offering insights into nutrition and mindset without delving too deep into complex scientific explanations. On the flip side, “Sigma Nutrition Radio” caters to a more seasoned audience and coaches, delivering impeccable information with a scientific edge.
My favorite leggings
Navigating the sea of leggings in my line of work led me to the ultimate winner: Vuori’s Clean Elevation leggings. Soft, incredibly stretchy and comfortable, these leggings top my list. What sets them apart? They don’t roll down, a game-changer for anyone who knows the struggle. Whether you shop locally at its Santa Barbara store or online, Vuori’s Clean Elevation leggings are a must-try for comfort and style. Sizes from XXSXXL.
My favorite local new business
Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing Seek Health, a new chiropractic

office in town. I am very choosy about my providers and was hopeful as soon as Dr. Jude Hockel started his assessment. Instead of the traditional cracking and popping, Dr. Hockel tailored his treatment to my specific needs. Through movement assessments, he identified the best course of action. Trigger point release on my tight hip and relief for my elbow tendonitis left me thoroughly impressed. Seek Health has secured a spot on my list of trusted providers, and I eagerly anticipate my next visit.
My favorite water bottle
My go-to water bottle remains the classic Nalgene in a market flooded with options. They are affordable, nearly indestructible, easy to clean and conveniently fit in my car’s water holder, which is a huge benefit. I once lost an insulated water bottle at the circus when it rolled under my bleacher seat. At more than $40, I mourned its loss. From here out, I’ll stick to my $15 Nalgene.
My favorite protein supplement
Whey protein is always superior in taste and consistency for those seeking a protein supplement. Unfortunately, I am lactose intolerant, which means I cannot handle it despite claiming to be lactose-free. The alternatives are typically pea-based protein, which can cause just as much damage to the digestive system for some. Instead, I use chocolate collagen in my daily (decaf) coffee. While collagen lacks one essential amino acid, tryptophan, it can be easily added to fill the gap. This concoction dissolves seamlessly into warm liquids, though the protein can be degraded when temperatures are too hot, so make sure to temper your liquids some.
My favorite supplement
Did you know that magnesium plays a role in over 300 different processes in the human body? Shockingly, reports estimate that nearly 90% of humans are deficient in this vital mineral. While magnesium is naturally present in green leafy veggies, seeds, nuts and legumes, achieving the recommended 310-420mg daily

Having experimented with various fitness devices, including Fitbits and an Apple Watch, I’ve found the Oura Ring unparalleled, especially regarding sleep tracking accuracy. Unlike many competitors, it provides insights beyond step counts and calories burned, focusing on HRV and heart rate levels. As someone who values quality sleep for better recovery and workout optimization, the Oura Ring has become an indispensable companion. While the Garmin Enduro is a worthy alternative, but at $1,000, it’s a harder pill to swallow than Oura’s $300 (both are the regularly listed price). $40 off coupon code: ouraring.com/raf/69d1a57edd?utm_medium=iac.
My favorite sunscreen
When it comes to sunscreen, I swear by Bare Republic, a brand known for its primarily mineral-based, ocean-safe formulations. I rely on the SPF 70 face lotion, which, while leaving a hint of a ghostly tint, is easy to spread and has a delightful scent. The SPF 50 mineral Sport Sunscreen Spray is a go-to for broader coverage. Whether purchased locally or directly from its site, Bare Republic ensures both skin safety and environmental responsibility.
My favorite travel snacks
Protein is king in satiety and weight management, so I’ll never be without a turkey meat stick when I’m on the go. Paired with some crunchy carrots, these snacks are not only convenient but don’t require refrigeration, making them perfect for a quick energy boost during errands or travel. Consider tossing a few turkey meat sticks in a stocking for a practical and delicious snack. I hope you find this curated list of my favorite things both delightful and inspiring as you navigate the holiday season. As I brainstormed and sought input from others, I discovered an additional 10 topics bubbling with holiday cheer. There might just be a part two in the future! Wishing you joyful and stressfree shopping experiences as you seek out those perfect gifts. Happy holidays! Leah Harding is a nutrition coach and mobile personal trainer.

Canalino Elementary School brought holiday delight to its campus on Saturday, Dec. 2 with its annual Holiday Festival and Trolley Tour. Kids – with their parents and guardians in tow – rode the trolley, peeked at the Carpinteria Community Church choir performance, wrote letters to Santa and got their faces painted in this fun, festive celebration. Canalino’s trolleys were packed full.
The Carpinteria Community Church choir sang as the trolleys rolled by.

HOLIDAY SPICED SANGRIA
For any upcoming holiday parties, or if youʼre hosting this yearʼs Christmas dinner, this holiday spiced sangria is a great mixed drink option. A tip: Slice your apples with a mandolin, and let the sangria sit in the fridge overnight to let the apples soak up the drink. 2 apples 1 cup of cranberries 1 orange 3 cups of apple cider 3 cups of water 10 chai tea bags 1 bottle of white wine ½ cup of orange liqueur
Slice the apples and orange into thin slices. In a pan, heat the apple cider and water until boiling. Turn off the heat and add the tea bags. Allow the tea bags to steep for 15 minutes before removing. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool down; the mixture can be placed in the fridge to cool quickly. In a large serving container, add the sliced fruit, cranberries, wine, orange liqueur and apple cider/ chai tea mixture. Allow to chill overnight before serving.

The Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center’s annual holiday festival will take place on Dec. 9; from left, Alan Koch and “Santa” – aka Hal Price – are seen at last year’s festival.
Arts Center Holiday Festival: Dec. 9
The Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center, at 865 Linden Ave., will host its annual holiday festival on Saturday, Dec. 9, from noon – 5 p.m. in the Koch Courtyard. This year’s festival – with the theme of Hearthside for the Holidays – will have artisans, live entertainment and local businesses and more onsite, including Carp Moon Cafe, Rori’s Artisanal Creamery and PacWest Blooms. Santa will also stop by at 4 p.m., and “snow” will fall every 30 minutes starting at noon. “This year’s theme, ‘Hearthside For the Holidays’ provides a cozy fireside vibe for our community to come in, relax, enjoy something savory or sweet, support our local businesses and sip a cup of delicious gourmet hot chocolate or some sparkling bubbly to celebrate,” Kerry Doehr, event specialist for the Arts Center, said in a press release. “This year’s theme was based on the time-honored tradition of fireside relaxation and a feeling of home and connecting around the hearth to enjoy one another. We hope the Carpinteria community will come and do just that in this special space.” Carp Moon Cafe will provide the hot cocoa station and homemade tamales, and the Cate School Jazz Band will provide some musical entertainment. Learn more online at carpinteriaartscenter.org.
Students from Cate School, seen performing at a concert in January 2023, will perform in the “Winter by Candlelight” concert on Monday, Dec. 11.
Cate School to host concert
Cate School will host its annual “Winter By Candlelight” concert on Monday, Dec. 11 at 7 p.m., in the Katharine Thayer Cate Memorial Chapel on campus. The concert is open to the public. Performances will include the Cate Orchestra, Chamber Ensemble, Chorale, Camerata and Acapella Ensemble, during a night of musical celebration.
Christmas reading with Anthony Zerbe at Veterans Hall

Parents share pandemic stories
On the first Thursday of each month, CVN publishes the Honor Roll to thank readers and advertisers for their generous support. For the past 14 years, this support has played a critical role in keeping CVN in the stands each week and full of local news that cannot be found in any other media. The outpouring of support inspired by the Honor Roll has established a deeper connection between the newspaper and its readers. Additionally, the hundreds of names that appear in the Honor Roll send a message to advertisers: Carpinterians are dedicated to their local newspaper. In turn, the staff of CVN is dedicated to its readers. As the publishers of your community newspaper, we appreciate the relationship we have with you, our readers, and we pledge to keep bringing you all the news of the Carpinteria Valley.

3½ cups vegetable broth 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon (no beef base) 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Directions:
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for four minutes occasionally stirring. Lower heat to medium, then add the carrots, celery, garlic, salt, pepper, chili flakes and herbs. Sauté for seven to eight minutes. Add tomato paste, browning it just a bit in the pan, then deglaze the pan with the red wine vinegar, scraping up any brown bits. Add the tomatoes and their juice and cook for five minutes.

Total excavation approved included roughly 10 feet long and 2 feet around the pipeline to allow placement of the rocksheild. 5 cubic yards of soil will be excavated and used to refill the excavation area. All disturbed areas will be restored to pre project conditions. Emergency repairs initiated on May 9, 2023 and were completed by May 16, 2023. No

____________________________ NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE Loan No.: 5-3-24113 Order No. 8786072 APN: 004-002-32 Property Address: 1670 Cravens Lane Carpinteria, CA 93013 You Are In Default Under A Deed Of Trust Dated 5/5/2005. Unless You Take Action To Protect Your Property, It May Be Sold At A Public Sale. If You Need An Explanation Of The Nature Of The Proceeding Against You, You Should Contact A Lawyer. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, cashier’s check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a cashier’s check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below.

Trustor: Wilja Happe, a single person Duly Appointed Trustee: Geraci Law Firm Recorded 5/19/2005 as Instrument No. 2005-0046296 in book , page of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Santa Barbara County, California, Date of Sale: 1/3/2024 at 1:00 PM Place of Sale: north door main entrance to County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $2,258,869.34 Street Address or other common designation of real property: 1670 Cravens Lane Carpinteria, CA 93013 A.P.N.: 004-002-32 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. Notice To Potential Bidders: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. Notice To Property Owner: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant
Thursday, December 7, 2023 23
to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (877) 440-4460 or visit this Internet Web site www.mkconsultantsinc.com, using the file number assigned to this case 230814265. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice To Tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (877) 440-4460, or visit this internet website site www.tlssales.info, using the file number assigned to this case 230814265 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

THROWBACK
Rincon Voices: Dick Barr
THURSDAY
BY VINCE BURNS
Let’s visit 1950s Rincon Point to enjoy the sandy beach, waves and – perhaps best of all – a lack of crowds. Guiding us are the memories of Dick Barr (b. 1930), a lifelong Santa Barbaran (save for a stint or two in the Army and down south). Dick was a member of a close-knit group of surfing friends who were among the first to surf Rincon after World War II. We caught up with Dick last week in Montecito to hear about those long-ago days at Rincon, then called “Three Mile” for its distance from the Carpinteria train station. Back then, Dick and his friends – many of whom were students at UC Santa Barbara’s (UCSB) predecessor college – nearly had Rincon to themselves. Hardly anyone from down south had discovered Rincon in the early 1950s. (“LA hadn’t invaded yet,” is how Dick puts it.) Exceptions were actors Peter Lawford (1923-1984), Richard Jaeckel (1926-1997) and a few of their hangers-on who occasionally ventured up the coast from their home base at Malibu. Likely the icy winter water and distance from Los Angeles kept others away. As Dick remembers, the cold water was fought with perpetual beach fires (usually sustained by discarded tires from the coast road), wool sweaters (no wetsuits yet) and youthful grit. Dick recalls relaxing with friends at a palm-decorated Rincon hut, a predecessor to the current version sitting at the bottom of the trail on the Ventura side. Other memories: searching for surfboards, especially the coveted Bob Simmons (1919-1954) creations, and, when these weren’t available, creating DIY boards from balsa and fiberglass. When Rincon’s surf was uninspiring, Dick recalls roaming the coast from San Onofre to Santa Cruz in search of waves.
Dick Barr up on a Rincon wave in the early 1950s. “Those were some pretty wild guys,” Dick recalls, remembering his intrepid group of Rinconers. Among them: Dick Metz, Joe Riddick, Conway “Jiggs” Pierson, “Mac” McCafferty and Gerry Barnes. A sometime member of the group was Billy Meng (1930-2023) who passed away recently in Santa Barbara after a life of adventure. For some in the group, surfing was not just a college infatuation. Barr’s good friend Dick Metz (b. 1929) is a living legend for his contributions as a surf pioneer, entrepreneur and founder of the Surfing Heritage and Culture Center (SHACC) in San Clemente. After his Santa Barbara stint, Metz embarked on a youthful around-the-world surf safari beginning in 1958 that prefigured the famous “Endless Summer” (1966) film. Another good friend was Riddick (1931-2023), a longtime member of the storied Boys of ’55 surf club centered

Labeled “One of the better winter surfs in ’59.” Thanks to the print and film versions of Gidget and their progeny, there were now more than a few surfers in the Rincon waters. In the background is the soon-to-becompleted artificial Rincon oil island. around Huntington Beach. Another friend was “Jiggs” Pierson (1927–1989) who became a distinguished artist and professor at UCSB. Years later, Professor Pierson chided Barr’s surfing son Scott for showing up to his art class when Campus Point’s surf was up!
The UCSB connection
COURTESY SURFING HERITAGE AND CULTURE CENTER
Dick Barr, right, and his friend Joe Riddick at Rincon Point in the early 1950s. Dick is likely using paraffin to wax his board, as surf wax had yet to be invented.
The common link for Dick’s group was UCSB, or rather its earlier incarnation, the Santa Barbara College of the University of California, then still on Santa Barbara’s Riviera. Controversy surrounded the wartime maneuver by Santa Barbara boosters to wrest the college from the state college system. The fight was so bitter that a 1946 state constitutional amendment forbade future conversions of state colleges to UC campuses. But by the early 1950s, the college was on its way to joining Berkeley and UC Los Angeles as the third UC campus. For many in the group, surfing took precedence over (or at least parity with) the chores of student life. In a wonderful memory recounted at Billy Meng’s memorial in late November, fellow early Rincon surfer Ronald Wilmot recalled his school year of 1956-57. He was taking a long anatomy class in one of the military surplus buildings on campus. Meng and fellow surf legend Mike Stange would park near the classroom on days when Rincon was break-
ing, within eyeshot of Ron, silently exuding peer pressure to cut class and join them for a trip to Three Mile. Midway through class, the psychological warfare had gotten the best of Ron and soon he would be heading for Rincon with Mike and Billy. As Ron recalled it, “I got a C- in anatomy but an A+ in Rincon.” Ah, the eternal UCSB conundrum: balancing the many attractions of beach life with academics. Wilmot’s story provides the link to the next generation of Rincon surfers coming up through the ranks. Another in the next class was Ken Kesson (1928-2015), a Wilmot friend and Rincon regular during the mid-to-late 1950s. And events outside of Rincon Point soon changed the situation entirely. “Gidget” was published, first as a book (in 1957) and then as the blockbuster Sandra Dee film (1959). The rest is history as the surfing explosion, fueled by baby booming teens, California’s postwar growth, and, yes, some marketing from the Beach Boys and their predecessors. By 1959, Rincon’s waves were already getting crowded. Vince and Stephen Bates have written “the” history of Rincon Point. It’s available locally and online at amazon.com/ dp/1467108707.

Warriors boys and girls soccer seasons kick off Carpinteria girls soccer starts the season with four straight wins; boys win one of three BY RYAN P. CRUZ • PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING Carpinteria’s boys and girls soccer teams have now both started their respective seasons, with each playing a handful of games and the Warriors girls getting off to a perfect start with four straight wins. The Carpinteria girls soccer team got its season going with a road trip to Santa Barbara to face Bishop Diego on Monday, Nov. 23, and it was a great start for the Warriors who escaped with a 2-0 win to start the year at 1-0. A few days later the Warriors girls played their first home game of the year with a Thursday night matchup against La Reina at Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium on Nov. 30. Again, it was a display of powerful offense and lockdown defense, with the Warriors coming out on top 5-0 to advance to 2-0 on the year. Less than 24 hours after the win over La Reina, the Warriors hosted crosstown rival Cate for the “Battle of the 192” on Friday, Dec. 1. Again, it was all Carpinteria all day and the Warriors dropped three goals while posting their third straight shutout,
3-0, and moving on with a perfect 3-0 record for the season. On Dec. 4, Carpinteria hosted Channel Islands for the first league game of the year, and this matchup was closely contested with both teams scoreless until the 47th minute, when Warriors sophomore Evelyn Lara weaved through the defense and sent in a crossshot from the wing to give Carpinteria the 1-0 lead. The Warriors had a few more scoring chances that bounced off the goalposts, but the 1-0 lead would be just enough to take the win thanks to the tough Carpinteria defense posting its fourth straight shutout of the year. The highlight of the game, according to Carpinteria coach Freddy Martinez, came in the final two minutes, when Channel Islands was awarded a free shot just outside the box and the Warriors defense held on strong, with goalie Natalie Gonzalez blocking the initial shot and a rebound shot, allowing the defense to clear the ball from danger.

The Warriors had a lot of leadership from seniors Luna Glavan and Isela Zamora, but coach Martinez said he was also proud of the new younger members of the squad who were able to “elevate themselves” for the occasion. Carpinteria has outscored opponents 11-0 this year, and the Warriors are now 4-0 overall and 1-0 in league heading into league matchups this week at home against Malibu and Nordhoff. The Warriors boys kicked off the season with a non-league matchup at home against Rio Mesa on Nov. 28. And while Carpinteria did find the back of the net, the Warriors could not hold off the Spartans scoring attack, and Rio Mesa came away on top, 2-1. Two days later, the boys recovered from the season-opening loss with a win on the road over Thacher, 3-1. At Thacher, Carpinteria gave up an early goal before settling into a rhythm and establishing the offense. The Warriors evened up the score at 1-1 before

halftime, then in the second half, Carpinteria’s Raul Reyes assisted Jeshua Magaña for the Warriors’ second goal of the game. Magaña then assisted Daniel Velazquez to give Carpinteria the 3-1 lead. “It was a great first win of the season; our players worked hard and played well throughout the whole game,” said Carpinteria coach Gerry Rodriguez. “There are still some things we need to work on and improve on but overall, I was pleased with our style of play.” On Dec. 4, the Warriors boys opened up league play on the road against Channel Islands, but Carpinteria struggled to hold off a strong Raiders offense as Channel Islands ran away with the win, 3-0. “The boys did work hard but our passing and mistakes cost us the game tonight,” said coach Rodriguez. “It’s a slow process but we need to keep moving forward and work harder.” Carpinteria boys soccer is now 1-2 overall and 0-1 in league with matchups this week against Malibu and Nordhoff.

SHORT STOPS BY RYAN P. CRUZ
Carpinteria boys basketball moves to 2-4
After starting the season at 1-2, Carpinteria’s boys basketball team had a busy week with three games over three days at the Nordhoff Tournament. In game one against Rio Mesa, Carpinteria had trouble combating the Spartans’ full-court press and high-scoring offense, and the Warriors fell by a final score of 26-48. Junior Aiden Alcaraz led the Warriors with nine points in the loss, while junior Sebastian Campuzano-Reed scored seven points, Carlo Suarez added six points and Sawyer Kelly chipped in four. On day two, Carpinteria faced Bishop Diego, and this time Carpinteria came ready to play, leading from tipoff to final buzzer and securing the Warriors’ second victory of the year with a 51-45 win. Campuzano-Reed led the team with 17 points in the win, while Suarez dropped 10 and Kelly had a breakout game with 12 points. “Sawyer continues to embrace and thrive in the role of locking up the other team’s best player on the defensive end,” said Carpinteria coach Jackson Hall. “Something that I am most proud of for our team this year is our defensive effort. We have yet to give up more than 55 points in a game. Our guys know that if we can hold teams in the 40s and 50s, we will always give ourselves a chance to win.” On the third and final day of the tournament, the Warriors faced off against crosstown rival Cate. Carpinteria took an early lead in what turned out to be a backand-forth battle, with both teams tied at 49-49 in the final minute before Cate pulled away for the 53-49 win. Carpinteria’s leading scorers were Campuzano-Reed with 16 points, Suarez with 12 points and sophomore Micah Smith with nine points. The Warriors are now 2-4 overall with their league opener against Nordhoff on Dec. 7.
Warriors girls basketball splits games at tournament
Carpinteria’s girls basketball team survived a gauntlet of four games over four days at the Bishop Diego Tournament, coming away with two wins and moving to 4-3 overall on the season. The busy week got started against Bishop Diego, with the Warriors putting up a strong fight against the undefeated Cardinals, but Carpinteria could not close the gap and Bishop kept its unblemished record intact with a 51-46 win. Carpinteria was led by its trio of top scorers, Amarisse Camargo (14 points), Jamaica Cook (14 points) and Charlotte Cooney (13 points). The next day, Carpinteria faced Thacher, where the Warriors jumped out to a big lead at the half, 26-15, before Thacher came back in the second half to bring the game within one point. The Warriors were able to escape with the win, 47-46, thanks to strong performances from Camargo (21 points) and Cooney (18 points). The Warriors lost to Holy Martyrs, 51-38, on the third day of the tournament; on the fourth day, against Paraclete, Carpinteria got back into its rhythm with Camargo scoring 23 points and grabbing seven rebounds to help the Warriors take the win, 52-34. Camargo – who scored 75 points in the four games – was named to the All Tournament Team. The Warriors are now 4-3 overall and are preparing for their first league test this week against Malibu.

win on the road against Oxnard. It was a back-and-forth battle with seven lead changes, and Carpinteria fell behind 7-9 heading into the fourth and final period. But in the fourth, the Warriors exploded for six goals to take the win and move to 2-1 on the season. Junior Giulia Piccoletti led the Warriors with five goals – including two in the fourth period – while freshman Hazel Dugré added three goals and senior Lilli Nemetz and junior Caden Lemere each scored a pair. Senior Ruby Cluderay, who is playing her first season of water polo after specializing in track and triathlons, scored her first goal of her career in the win. “It was a solid early season win on the road, and the experience will serve the team well as the season progresses,” said Carpinteria coach Jon Otsuki. After a game this week against Buena, the Warriors will play in a four-game tournament at Hueneme on the weekend.
Local athletes earn end-of-year awards
Athletes from Carpinteria were well represented in the 2023 All League and AllCIF selections, including some of the stars in girls tennis, girls volleyball, boys water polo and cross country. Carpinteria High School’s girls tennis team finished league play with a 12-0 record, claiming the Citrus Coast League title and earning a host of individual awards along the way. The duo of sophomore Charlotte Cooney and junior Keyla Manriquez were selected as the league’s doubles MVP’s, while freshman Izzy Scott was named First Team All League in her first season as a Warrior. Senior Silke Leonard (singles) and juniors Allison Banks and Sasha Porinsh (doubles) were selected for the Second Team, and Clover Martinez, Taylor Trembly and senior Valeria Zamora earned honorable mentions. Warriors girls volleyball also earned recognition, with junior Averi Alexander making First Team All League and senior Jenny Valencia making Second Team. Alexiana Jaimes, Camila Martinez and Ashlee Mora received honorable mentions For Carpinteria football, seniors Judah Torres and Sebastian Hernandez were selected as First Team All League, while four Warriors – Talon Trumble, Dylan Gonzales, Sawyer Kelly, Isaya Gonzalez and Jayson Dishion – were named to the Second Team. Freshmen linemen Edwin Nova and David Alvarez both earned honorable mentions. Cross Country runners Audrey Kramer and Ruby Cluderay were selected to Second Team All League, and six Warriors earned honorable mentions: Victoria Martinez, Giarys Gomez, Mika Mullikin, Marvin Lujano, Joel De Lira and Edwin Hernandez. Girls golf team sophomore Jamaica Cook was selected on First Team All League; sophomore Kiana Kiah was named to Second Team; and freshman Sophia Garay earned an honorable mention. And for the undefeated Citrus Coast League champion boys water polo team, senior Asher Smith was selected as the League MVP; first-year head coach Karl Fredrickson was named Coach of the Year; and three Warriors – Cody Schwasnick, Griffith Yamaoka and Aiden Alcaraz – made First Team All League. Sophomores Sky Korling and Jake Ehlers and junior Sebastian Campuzano-Reed were selected to the Second Team, and Micah Smith, Jacob Otsuki, and Eli Sheaffer all earned honorable mentions.
Cate Rams Roundup
Cate School had a full slate of winter sports action in the past week, and a few Rams athletes wrapped up the fall sports season with some final successes. Girls volleyball captain Melanie Davidson received Division 6 All-CIF honors after helping lead the Rams to the CIF Quarterfinals this season. The boys cross country team broke records and was the fastest team in Cate history at the Mt. San Antonio College course and at Woodward Park for the state finals. At Mt. Sac, Cate runners set a new course record with a combined time of 1:23:13; and at Woodward Park, Cate’s top senior Sebastian Sutch finished third overall with a time of 15:23 – the fastest of any Cate runner ever on that course. In winter sports, Cate’s boys soccer team hosted Nordhoff for its home opener, and the Rams got the scoring started early with a goal in the first minute off an assist from sophomore winger Kiy Barry who connected with junior midfielder Uriel Beltran Campuzano who headed it into the goal. Sophomore George Marin scored the two final goals in the game to give Cate its first win of the year, 3-0. The Rams will open up league play this week on the road against Bishop Diego. Cate’s boys basketball team suffered its first loss of the season against Camarillo, 26-69, in the opening game of the Nordhoff Tournament. After that first loss, however, Cate recovered and finished off the tournament with back-to-back wins over Nordhoff and Carpinteria. Against Nordhoff, the Rams were led by Tyler Martinez with 11 points and Marcus Scudder with eight points. With the win, Cate advanced to the Consolation Championship against crosstown rival Carpinteria. Against the Warriors, Scudder earned All-Tournament honors with 29 points to help Cate take the 53-49 win. “He was scoring inside and out,” said Cate coach Andy Gil, “and he has such a quick first step he was hard to guard tonight.” Cate is now 4-1 to start the year and will open up league play this week against Bishop Diego. And in Cate girls basketball, the Rams have started out the year 3-3 overall and 0-1 in league play, with wins over Thacher, Dunn School and Nordhoff. In the Rams’ 46-6 win over Dunn, Cate’s defense allowed only two points in the entire first half and six points in the whole game.

THE BOOK NOOK “The Woman in Me” by Britney Spears
Having followed the “Free Britney” movement, I came to Britney Spears’ memoir with a lot of questions. How could such a successful performer be deemed unfit to manage her affairs or even to select counsel? Why would someone under a conservatorship be subjected to a grueling performance schedule for over a decade? What were those years like for Britney Spears? How is she navigating her freedom? “The Woman in Me” is powerful in its simplicity and authenticity. Britney reclaims her voice with a remarkably honest and vulnerable read. A little girl who feared her alcoholic father and escaped into a world of song and dance, Britney explains, “I wanted to hide, but I also wanted to be seen. Both things could be true.” Britney traces her development into a teen pop icon, her attempts to maintain a normal life and the artistic collaborations that shaped her. She details the power and freedom she felt from a creative process where she was treated with respect, as well as the terrible price of losing her anonymity. Britney shares deeply personal revelations about how she was treated by those closest to her. She was shamed, publicly ridiculed and exploited by family, ex-boyfriends and her ex-husband. This
was echoed by a media chorus that constantly focused on her body, questioned her image as a role model and her fitness as a mother. All the while, she wondered what was so dangerous about her success. Britney and her children were relentlessly hounded by paparazzi who created and documented moments of fear and stress. Facing the loss of custody of her children, Britney found little support from family who effectively took over her life in the form of a protracted involuntary conservatorship. The father she had feared as a child controlled her finances, had the power to medicate and institutionalize her, limited what she ate, when she saw her children and robbed her of creative expression in the grueling performance schedule he established for her. This very predatory arrangement took far too long to change. I wish her peace as she rediscovers the joys of her long-denied freedom. –– Friends of the Carpinteria Library volunteer Giti White
It is the busiest time of the year! Does anyone have time to read? Oh, yes, yes, I know you do, and I know you will. Last December, I recommended the novella by Claire Keegan called “Small Things Like These.” If you didn’t get to it, I am urging you to give it a read. I’m not even going to tell you the plot. It will take you an hour or two. It is gorgeous prose. In keeping with the bite-size theme, O. Henry’s “Gift of the Magi” is one of my favorites every year. Beautifully illustrated, this picture book for adults is an exquisitely written story about sacrifice for those you love and how worldly possessions pale in comparison. I recommend it be read aloud but do as you wish
with it. Lastly, I offer another classic. Truman Capote wrote a series of short stories related to the holidays. My favorite is called “A Christmas Memory.” The themes are love, sacrifice, poverty, respect and friendship. A young boy and his elderly aunt scrape up the ingredients to bake a fruit cake to give as gifts. Set during the Depression and Prohibition, this proves to be a pretty big task. The lovingly drawn portrait of the aunt as told by the boy is so tender and kind. In addition to the classic short stories, above, the library has a display of cozy mysteries, romance and general fiction books that are set during Christmas time and make for light and easy reading. I hope you find something satisfying to read during December. We’re here for you. Bibliotherapy is real. –– Carpinteria Community Library librarian Jody Thomas
