Smart & Final rep comes to council

Mary Crowley named Carpinterian of the Year

By LeA BOyD

Questions about what Carpinteria can expect when its second grocery store reopens its doors this spring as a Smart & Final Extra! were answered at the city council meeting on Jan. 25. Marisol Marks of Smart & Final delivered a brief presentation on the company and the merchandise found in its Extra! stores, which include smaller, household-sized products along with the club-sized products sold in traditional Smart & Finals.

“You can go in and you can pick up just a couple apples,” Marks told the council. Products will include food and everyday staples. There will be a full produce section with organic options and a bulk foods section. The company is introducing bakery and artisan cheese sections to its new stores and has deli and meat sections. Business hours will be 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

The question of precisely when the new store will open was not answered, but Marks said it should be in the next few months. Smart & Final has 33 new stores scheduled to open within that timeframe.

Council bans medical marijuana deliveries, will reconsider later

The council lent its full support to the second reading of a zone code amendment designed to keep the state from usurping local control of medical marijuana cultivation and distribution. Edits to code that was originally adopted by Carpinteria in 2007 more explicitly ban medical marijuana dispensaries and restrict cultivation and delivery of medical marijuana to the patient and a primary caregiver.

Cities all over California are grappling with the issue due to the state’s new Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, which Governor Jerry Brown signed into law last october. The new state law will shift licensing of cultivation and sale of medical marijuana to the state unless a city has its own regulations in place by March 1.

The city acted quickly to tighten the wording on its original code in order to keep the state’s hands off local medical marijuana control, but the issue of deliveries has sparked

In newly minted Carpinterian of the Year Mary Crowley’s mind, the award should be pluralized to include all the great givers. “It would be hard to not be inspired in this town. There are just so many great people,” she said after being surprised with the award at the Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce Community Awards Banquet on Jan. 23.

The list of groups for which Crowley volunteers includes about every service organization in Carpinteria, and last year’s Carpinterian of the Year, David Powdrell, listed them all in dropping hints about the identity of this year’s award recipient. Still, Crowley said she looked around the room and thought it could be about anyone there. Powdrell said, “This is one person who simply keeps on going kind of like the energizer bunny and gives back without expectation of anything in return.”

From the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History to Girl’s Inc. and Relay for Life, Crowley’s face is familiar at the many organizations that hold the community together and lift it up.

The hint that clued Crowley in that she was about to win an award was that she was wearing turquois. She has come to be known as the “Turquois Warrior” in her

multi-year battle with cancer. Her original diagnosis was a rare eye cancer. It has since metastasized to the liver and other spots. Throughout the fight, the soothing tone of turquois has helped to keep her positive.

Crowley was effusive in her praise of the community and its outpouring of the support for both the award and the support she has felt. “I’m not the smartest or cleverest or most talented Carpinterian of the Year, but I consider myself the luckiest,” she said.

“I’ve always done this stuff because it’s fun. It’s fun to do things with friends, and it helps people too,” she said. A couple of her proudest accomplishments as a volunteer include being Board President at Girls Inc., during which time the local club formed its endowment fund. Also, she was chair of planning the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History 50th Anniversary Party. She had also been chair and co-chair of the Chamber Awards Banquet in past years.

Heading to this year’s event, she knew that her husband Bill Crowley was up for the Carpinteria Beautiful Merit Award, so she was excited for that but unaware of the great honor that would soon

City of Carpinteria maps 2016

By Lea Boyd

at a marathon city meeting held on Jan. 23, the Carpinteria City Council and department heads made their way through a half-inch stack of paperwork outlining their plans for the year. the marathon annual work meeting sets goals and a timeline for what residents can expect around the next few corners of the calendar.

Railroad inn steals city meeting spotlight

a small hotel and restaurant could be the first building to greet future visitors arriving by train to Carpinteria some day in the not-so-distant future. Matt roberts, Director of parks and recreation, presented a concept to develop a portion of the parking lot at the amtrak station into a two-story, 30-room hotel and restaurant that could pour about $1 million a year into city coffers. the city would lease the property to a boutique hotel company required to pay both transient occupancy taxes and a percentage of sales. roberts said in situations like that, leases can be 50 to 75 years long. “it’s the way that the city can earn money, rather than resort to just taxes,” roberts said. plans are for the hotel to border Linden Avenue, 5th Street and the railroad tracks, offering ocean views from its restaurant and some rooms. accommodations would be a step above existing hotels, providing visitors with a higher end option than Best Western and Holiday Inn Express. Community Development Director Steve Goggia pointed out that the inn would afford “the opportunity to come by train and not have a car and stay in our community.” tied into the inn idea are a handful of projects already in discussion for the area that utilize the city’s recent purchases of Union Pacific property. Parking lost through construction of a hotel would be shifted to a new lot on the opposite side of the tracks where the city owns a strip of land parallel to the tracks. Conceptual plans show a 66-space parking lot between Linden and elm and a new bike and pedestrian trail from Linden to Holly Avenue. a pedestrian railroad undercrossing at Holly Avenue is also part of big picture plans. residents of the beach neighborhood, including kids on their way to and from school, regularly cross the tracks in that area on foot. trains approaching from the north come around a bend just before arriving at the station, which makes pedestrian crossings in the neighborhood particularly dangerous. a Carpinteria woman was hit and killed there last fall.

While an inn and undercrossing are possible long-range goals for the area, a community garden at the 5 th Street property purchased from Union Pacific in 2012 is slated to break ground in 2016. plans for that $350,000 grant-funded project include 32 raised bed planters, an outdoor classroom and a garden center with bathroom and kitchen that incorporates the small railroad building salvaged from original Carpinteria depot. roberts expects to have the project permitted in March and construction underway in July.

This rendering is conceptual and aims to provide an idea of what the building might look like. reported, the federal emergency Management Agency hasn’t officially denied the city’s request for a floodplain map revision but has indicated that edits are unlikely to be approved.

“We’ve been told verbally that they will likely not agree with us on how we want to approach this,” said ebeling.

“Likely this is going to be a challenge to figure out our approach for how we want to deal with this floodplain.” feMa policy precludes any projects that add structures to the 100-year floodplain. one major element of the Caltrans interchange plan is raising the highway bridges over Carpinteria Creek in order to allow floodwaters to flow downstream rather than become blocked by the bridge structures and diverted along the highway to franklin Creek.

Coastal View News • Tel: (805) 684-4428 city’s existing floodplain map, the project would remove hundreds of homes in the Franklin Creek area from the floodplain, but it would place a handful of homes downstream from the bridges in the floodplain.

To meet FEMA’s requirements, the city has attempted to revise the existing floodplain map to reflect what engineers say is a more accurate depiction of the current situation. The revised map submitted to FEMA shows that the homes downstream of the highway bridges would be susceptible to 100-year floods even with no change to the bridge height.

FEMA, however, has not accepted the revision and indicates it’s unlikely to make the edits.

Ebeling said that he hopes FEMA will consider granting the city an exception, given the far greater number of homes that will move out of the floodplain than into it. Another option might be to appeal to a higher administrative level of the agency. Ebeling said it could behoove the city to have him plead Carpinteria’s case in person at the Oakland FEMA office.

Bridge construction is not slated in the first phase of the project, which buys the city more time to resolve the FEMA issue. Discussions have begun, however, on where work will begin on the final

phase of the four-phase Caltrans freeway widening project—the addition of an HOV lane between Carpinteria and Santa Barbara. Traffic congestion that plagues Carpinteria’s city streets on weekday mornings could make it a contender for the first phase of the widening, but city officials expressed concern that FEMA red tape might jeopardize that opportunity.

Ebeling quipped that when SBCAG chooses where to begin, decision-makers could say, “Hey, lets start at the other end while you guys figure it out and argue with FEMA for the next 10 years.”

CHP eyes Carpinteria

Mayor Gregg Carty received an unexpected letter from the California Highway Patrol recently stating that the agency wishes to consider Carpinteria sites for a new 8,000 square foot station on about four acres. CHP had begun the process of developing a Goleta station but abandoned its plans as a result of community resistance during environmental review.

The Goleta station plans included a 100foot radio tower; a Carpinteria tower may not need to be quite as tall.

“It’s not the most aesthetically pleasing kind of use,” City Manager Dave Durflinger said. “We’re not really sure

there’s an appropriate site.” Council members and staff noted that the industrial park was one of the only places in town that might accommodate such a use.

Developers poised to present Bluffs projects

“Virtually every vacant spot on the bluffs is being talked about for some sort of development,” City Manager Dave Durflinger reported.

Jack Theimer, whose 2015 pitch for a hotel and housing project Bluffs 1 was sent back to the drawing board with a clear message of “too much” from the council and community, is developing a concept for a residential only project. Discussion involves duplexes and triplexes and a greater number of affordable units than required.

On the other end of the bluffs, two developers are working on separate designs for the two properties at the east end of Carpinteria Avenue. John King, who owns the 2.3-acre portion on the east side, and Blueridge, which has an option to purchase the remaining 20-plus acre portion, are both expected to submit development applications to the city soon.

Pavement funding falls short

Over the last few years, city staff has steadily beat the drum for funding road maintenance throughout Carpinteria.

Many of the local streets were constructed in the 1960s and 1970s and needed little attention until recently. But now the $300,000 or so dollars allotted to roads annually falls far short of the need. Public Works Director Charlie Ebeling said the city is about $18 to $19 million behind in pavement maintenance.

“The big issue here is we need to get creative in finding funding to take care of our streets,” said Mayor Gregg Carty.

Street funding is made up of three sources: the gas tax, Measure A and a city assessment district, all of which have been flat or dropping annually, even though the need grows. This year, the city has budgeted $500,000 from the general fund to complete key pavement maintenance projects.

The cost of maintaining roadways is far less than replacing them once they’ve deteriorated past the point of repair. “We think we have somewhere in the ballpark of $80 million in pavement out there,” said Ebeling. “That’s a significant asset of the city’s.”

City of Carpintera Project Updates

Major steps toward construction of a skatepark on the site of the former Thunderbowl roller hockey rink at City Hall are expected for 2016. The council should consider an agreement for funding and operation of the park with the Carpinteria Skate Foundation in April, and the design concept should begin review in June. The city hopes to build a small parking lot for the facility on the east side of the project, and Parks and Recreation Director Matt Roberts said that Venoco has given him a “definite maybe” for utilizing a portion of the company’s land for the lot.

Spay Neuter ordinance

Bridges and more sidewalks

The Public Works Department recently submitted grants for a number of projects: 1) A feasibility study to build a pedestrian bridge alongside the railroad tracks over Franklin Creek to increase safety for kids walking to Aliso School. 2) Replacement of the pedestrian bridge over Santa Monica Creek between El Carro Lane and Via Real. 3) Final funding for the Ash Avenue project to fill in sidewalk along the Silver Sands Mobile Home Park frontage.

CIP and DIF update

A new ordinance that requires dogs and cats to be spayed or neutered by 6 months goes into effect on July 1.

A capital improvement plan and development impact fee update is in the works.

The city will hire consultants this spring as part of the process to have fees more accurately cover the work that staff does and the effects of developments.

Zone code

Bike lane repairs

City staff is working on updating the zone code, a process that isn’t expected to be completed this year but should be reviewed by the Coastal Commission in 2016.

Acting Development Director Steve Goggia explained that it won’t be a full overhaul, just adjustments to existing code. “The zone code isn’t completely broken,” he said. “It still works.”

Law enforcement outreach

Expanding community outreach is a major goal for the local law enforcement, Lt. Mike Perkins of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department told the city council.

Currently a citizens academy is in development and should be launched by early August. Perkins said the academy will expose participants to the innerworkings of the department and aims to “demystify” law enforcement. He added that he is working on getting deputies out of the cars and interacting more with people in the downtown area.

New sidewalks

City contractors are about to begin constructing a sidewalk on Via Real to the west of Cravens Lane. Road crews will also begin slurry sealing pavement in the El Carro Lane area soon.

Crosswalk considerations

The city will take a closer look at two crosswalks on Carpinteria Avenue at Elm Street and Elm Avenue that present safety hazards for pedestrians. Both are located in front of bus stops, which doesn’t allow people crossing the street a view of oncoming traffic if a bus is parked, and vice versa. The city may combine the two crosswalks or move the bus stops.

Hickey building

A real estate agent is now working with owners of the long-vacant former Austin’s Homecenter at 700 Linden Ave. Hickey Brothers Land Co. owns the building, a space difficult to fill because of structural issues, and the rest of the 700 block. “It’s my understanding, speaking with the (Hickeys’) real estate agent, that whole block will be up for sale,” said Goggia.

Main sidewalks

A grant funded project to construct sidewalks along two sides of Carpinteria Children’s Project at Main is expected to commence this year. A portion of the Walnut Avenue side of the campus and all of the 6th Street frontage lacks sidewalks.

Concha Loma park

A pocket park to serve children living in the apartment buildings near the entrance to Concha Loma is in the Parks and Rec work plan for this year. Nearby resident Susan Allen has championed the project.

Carpinteria resident and cyclist George Lehtinen asked that the city consider pavement repair in a few portions of Carpinteria Avenue affected by tree roots pushing up the cement in the bike lane. “Basically every place there is a stone pine, the roadway has gotten pretty bumpy,” he said.

Carpinteria Creek bridge

The Carpinteria Avenue bridge over Carpinteria Creek got some attention at the meeting. As a result of recent geotechnical studies, plans have been adjusted for larger pilings than initially designed, which increases the cost of the project largely funded by a federal grant. The city must pay 11 percent of what is now expected to be a $15 million project. “We’re socking away some of our Measure A dollars,” said Public Works Director Charlie Ebeling. The project won’t be built for some time, but Ebeling said a draft Environmental Impact Report will be released soon.

Rincon Trail

Parks and Recreation Director Matt Roberts keeps chipping away at the obstacles in front of the Rincon Trail, which will connect the east end of Carpinteria Avenue to the County Park at Rincon. The lengthy process to have the railroad overcrossing approved by Union Pacific is underway. The city recently learned that it was not awarded a grant that officials were hopeful would help to fund the $6.5 to $7 million project.

Park remodel

Memorial Park’s playground equipment will be replaced this year thanks to a state grant. Other improvements to the park haven’t been locked in, but trails along at least two sides will be considered, as well as a picnic area closer to the playground than the existing tables and barbecues.

CERT training

The city’s recently hired Volunteer & Emergency Services coordinator, Mimi Audelo, has plans to continue Community Emergency Response Team trainings this year in English and in Spanish, to implement a volunteer recognition program and to initiate a Neighbor to Neighbor program to promote communication between city hall and community members.

City Hall improvements

Updates to city hall are now planned in bites that will begin this year. Contractor bids came in too high for the full project, which includes a number of improvements.

As a result, Parks and Recreation Director Matt Roberts and Public Works Director Charlie Ebeling will serve as the contractors. The first step will be to improve access to the building. Next will be increasing storage space by adding a 1,000 square foot modular building near the public works yard.

CARPINTERIA

In addition to minding the body at work, it’s crucial to mind the mind. Here are a couple easy techniques to help you relax and bring some peace and calm into the office.

If you find yourself in a heated moment, you can focus on this calming technique no matter where you are.

To start, inhale and exhale once fully. On the next breath, count the length of your inhale. Then, as you continue to breathe, use that same count duration to inhale, hold and exhale. For example, if your count is four, you will inhale for four counts, hold for four counts and exhale for four counts.

Draw this triangle with your breath for few rounds. If you feel comfortable, slowly increase the size of your triangle with one count at a time. If you feel yourself getting out of breath, return to the previous count.

Concentrate on this triangle breathing for at least 3 to 5 minutes, and even longer if you feel comfortable. Return to your normal breath for a few rounds before finishing the exercise.

Change the feeling of stress

The next time you feel stressed or too busy, stop and try to identify where in your body this stress is located.

Do you feel it in your head, throat, chest or belly? Close your eyes, and focus on this feeling. Does it have a movement, a distinct shape, a color? Does it feel hot or cold? Does it have a smell?

Then, try to change these variables one by one. Try to change the shape into something nicer. Try to change the color, movement or even location of the feeling. Once you isolate the feeling, you can manipulate it more freely and with greater benefit to your stress levels.

Hannah-Beth Jackson introduces oil well capping legislation

Prompted by the relics of defunct oil wells that routinely soil Summerland Beach, State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson has introduced legislation (SB 900) to cap the Summerland well and clean up beaches along the coast by plugging old, leaking oil wells. The Coast Oil Well Cleanup Act would require that the California State Lands Commission plug very old orphaned oil wells on the coast when the original oil company that operated the well is out of business and cannot be held responsible. It will also require an in-depth study of similarly abandoned and unused oil wells along the California coast. It is estimated that there are more than 200 of these orphaned wells in California, the majority located along Summerland and Ellwood beaches in Santa Barbara County and along the Central Coast.

Jackson stated, “Oil is toxic, it is a carcinogen, and it is unsafe for wildlife … To the extent we can prevent having our beaches soiled by it, we should. This bill will allow us to get a better understanding of our state’s old oil wells, and ensure that we have a plan in place to cap them, as necessary, once and for all.”

In addition, the bill would require the removal of coastal hazards such as wood and steel pilings, railroad irons, pipelines, wooden beams and other hazards. It would also require the monitoring and studying of natural seepage.

Quieter pavements help reduce the noise generated from the interaction between vehicle tires and pavement.

––Jim Taylor

Consider traffic noise in freeway widening

The Highway 101 widening project offers an opportunity to improve the quality of life for residents of Santa Barbara County in one area that should not be overlooked, reduced road noise.

As the highway bisects the heart of Carpinteria, Summerland and Montecito, the noise generated by traffic spreads far beyond any adjacent neighborhoods protected by sound walls. As the winds shift, or as ambient temperatures drop and humidity increases (for example at night), the roar can reach uncomfortable levels in neighborhoods that at other times can barely hear it. The volume also increases with traffic speed, something we can expect as congestion is reduced.

Though the sound is composed of multiple sources including engine noise, the primary source is tires on pavement.

Different types of pavement generate different levels of tire noise.

It is important that the latest technology in “quiet pavement” design be used in this project. This subject has received little attention in previous discussions and was apparently not considered in the recently completed southern section of the project, despite this from a Caltrans internal memo dated Oct. 6, 2009, by the Division of Pavement Management: “Research done to date has shown that traffic noise can be minimized by incorporating quieter pavement strategies in pavement mix designs and construction practices at little or no added cost. Quieter pavements help reduce the noise generated from the interaction between vehicle tires and pavement (i.e., at the source where the tire meets the road, thereby helping to reduce overall traffic noise impacts to the communities adjacent to the highways).”

For the health and well-being of the community, we urge everyone who is involved to insist that noise reduction through quiet pavement technology be a key component of the project.

City should incentivize commercial leasing

As a beachside, multi-family housing provider, I think it is in the best interests of our beautiful extraordinary community to have Linden Avenue be a wonderful shopping experience.

Obviously, a partial ghost town of empty stores is depressing. This letter is meant for the residents of Carpinteria and particularly the City Council asking for a proactive approach to accomplishing a vibrant tenancy of stores. Obviously, this would help maintain property values, which benefit everyone.

I think that real and sustained pressure must be put on owners of property on Linden Avenue between Carpinteria Avenue and the beach to create a reward-based incentive or a punitive action if properties remain vacant for three to six months.

If, after that time, the property is not rented, there should be some punitive laws set up to force the owners to accept lower rents or pay fines.

Some wealthy property owners are obviously just sitting on their Linden Avenue properties, not caring at all, that it impacts negatively the community, as an eye sore.

Some of these very large properties have been empty for more than five years.

Owning property on Linden Avenue is not just a private ownership opportunity.

It is also a public and community welfare event that affects everyone.

I urge the residents of Carpinteria to actively have your voices heard; stating that you need and want this community to thrive and will do whatever it takes to make that happen.

The City of Carpinteria must take action now to stop the blight and snowball effect of these out-of-control vacancies.

For the record

Lucy Gonzales 10/11/1920 – 1/21/2016

Maria de la Luz “Lucy” Jimenez Gonzales, 95, known by all as Lucita, died on Jan. 21, 2016 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. Lucita was born on Oct. 11, 1920 and raised in Jalostotitlan, Jalisco, Mexico.

In 1938, she met Jesús, also a native of Jalostotitlan, at a festival in town. They married the following year and moved to Carpinteria where she lived the rest of her life.

Lucita and Chuy started a grocery store, Gonzales Groceries, at the corner of Holly and Carpinteria Avenue. They built two homes on 8th Street and raised seven children. In addition to working the store and raising her family, Lucita was an avid traveler; it is easier to count the countries that she did not visit than to enumerate those that she did visit.

Lucita had a strong devotion to La Señora de la Asunción, the patron Virgin of her pueblo, and to St. Joseph Parish. She supported all of the Parish’s activities, including the jamaicas at the old church.

Lucita was preceded in death by her parents, Merced and Jacinta; her husband, Jesús (Chuy); her siblings, Rodolfo, Jesús and Guadalupe; and her son, Michael.

Lucita is survived by six children: Jesús (Terry), John (Aurora), George (Michael), Mary (Rafael), Mario and Ramiro (Rocio); 15 grandchildren and 21 greatgrandchildren.

Visitation will be at Pueblo del Rey Funeral Services, 3120 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93105 on Wednesday, Jan. 27 from 1 to 4 p.m. The Rosary service will be held at St Joseph Church on Wednesday, Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, Jan. 28 at 10 a.m., also at St Joseph Church, followed by interment at Carpinteria Cemetery.

Arrangements entrusted to Pueblo del Rey Funeral Services (805) 895-8409.

Natalie Muniz 4/23/1920 – 1/25/2016

Natalie Muniz, 95, passed away into Heaven on Jan. 25, 2016. Natalie was born on April 23, 1920, a native of Carpinteria, Calif.

Natalie loved Bingo, Elvis Presley was her favorite entertainer and she made the best tortillas ever!

She is survived by her sister Margaret Velasquez (Reginald), sister Josie Garcia (Dane), and brother Jonny Saragosa (Mary); her son, Joe David Escobar (Lolly), the twins Delia Marquez (Luis) and Selia Martinez (Joe), son Ernest Saragosa (Debbie), daughter Espy Muniz, daughter Christine Muniz, son Salvador “Chava” Muniz, and son Patrick Muniz; 15 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren.

The family would like to acknowledge and thank the team at Assisted Hospice of Ventura and the special care provided

by Shari Gerber R.N. Family and friends are invited to a Celebration of Life on Sunday, Jan. 31 at 2 p.m. in the Joseph P. Reardon Funeral Home & Cremation Service, 757 E. Main Street, Ventura.

What’s new at the harbor seal rookery?

ADAM CAIRA

The following counts taken from Jan. 1-9 were compiled from Carpinteria Seal Watch volunteer reports. Carpinteria harbor seal beach closure runs from Dec. 1 to June 1 each year. Seal Watch volunteers are still welcome to sign up by calling 684-2247.

High Adult Count

Visitors

82

High Pup Count

1

1,265 people came to the overlook to view the seals. Represented countries and states were Columbia, France, Poland, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Finland, New Jersey, Maine, Utah, Iowa, Alask, Illinois, Oregon, Washington, Missouri, Georgia, Alabama, Arizona, New York, Wyoming, and the District of Columbia. Numerous dolphins and a whale were additional visitors.

Disturbances

Beach walkers scared the seals into the ocean on two occasions.

Natural History Notes

The six-month closure of the harbor seal rookery and haulout is beneficial to many bird species, which use the undisturbed shoreline and rocks to rest. Some have advocated for year round closure, as the seals use the area all year to rest, and closure would shelter many other species plus permit recovery of intertidal life, including many shellfish and invertebrates. The area is often inaccessible to people due to higher tides reaching adjacent headlands and the cliffs.

More Info

The Carpinteria harbor seal rookery is located immediately east of Casitas Pier, between the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve and Carpinteria State Beach.

Please remember not to bring dogs, bicycles or loud voices to view the seals.

Harbor seals, when disturbed, may flee and become separated from their pups.

Volunteers ask that dogs remain outside the rope area at all times. Call 684-2247 or email carpsealwatch@gmail.com if you are interested in volunteering. To find out more, visit sealwatchcarpinteria.com.

Shadowy figures

A deputy patrolling Carpinteria Avenue observed two men dressed in black and lurking in the shadows of a hotel parking lot just after midnight on Jan. 6.

The officer noted the area had recently been hit by auto burglaries.

When the officer pulled in to strike up a conversation with the suspicious individuals, one darted into the hotel and the other stood his ground near the door.

The man, 34, standing near the door appeared to take on an aggressive posture toward the deputy in order to block him from the entrance. The deputy, however, sidestepped him and pursued the man, 20, who had run inside.

By the time the officer caught up, the man had scurried down a corridor near to the rear of the building and was attempting to access a guest room. He told the officer he had darted away to look for a restroom. The 34-year-old caught up and again adopted a boxer’s pose. The officer pulled out his taser and instructed the men to take a seat. They did.

The officer noted the 34-year-old was a familiar face from past drug related run-ins. Both men had speedy pulses, one at 140 beats per minute, and constricted pupils. A urine test of the 20-year-old read positive for meth. Both men were arrested for suspicion of being under the influence, and the 34-year-old had a charge of delaying an officer in the performance of his duties.

Slippery when wet

An officer responded to a report of a car accident on Highway 101 northbound on the morning of Jan. 6 at 7:30 a.m. in which a rear-ended driver claimed the other vehicle had intentionally rammed it.

The officer pulled up to the scene on the rainy morning and found one of the drivers was out of his vehicle. The officer ordered the man back into the vehicle and interviewed the driver of the vehicle parked in the rear.

The driver in the rear explained that he had rear-ended the other vehicle as it entered the freeway at Linden Avenue.

The car cut him off and then slammed the brakes, causing the multiple collisions, he said. Asked if the second collision was intentional, the driver said nothing. He reportedly smirked and shrugged his

shoulders, which the officer read as an admission to an intentional ramming.

The rear-ended driver stated he had entered the clogged freeway in the inclement weather and merged appropriately. He hit his brakes in order to keep a safe distance from the car in front of him.

Then he was struck from behind once, followed by three more bumps in the rear.

He knew the subsequent bumps were intentional because the driver accelerated into him, he said. The aggressive ramming caused him to be afraid for his life when the driver walked up to his window to exchange insurance. The rear-ended driver kept the door closed and window up. After the aggressive driver re-entered his vehicle, the alleged victim exited to take photos of the damage before officers arrived.

In his second interview with officers at the scene, the alleged rear-ender opened up a bit more. He was angry, he said, about the other driver’s “brake check” and never slowed down after the first collision. Instead of braking, he gassed.

The officer arrested the man for alleged assault with a deadly weapon.

Open window

A man working at a Casitas Plaza restaurant on Jan. 6 had no way to get home when he found his car missing midway through a shift. He reported to his parking spot at 7 a.m., but a malfunctioning window prevented him from securing the vehicle. He had lain plastic over the window to keep rain from getting in, but it was still open enough to reach an arm in. Also, he left a key in the vehicle because the one he had on his person didn’t always work. At his 10:30 a.m. break, the vehicle was there. At 12:30 p.m., it was gone. Officers had no suspects.

Other reports:

Burglary: Bailard Avenue, Lillie Avenue Delaying an officer in performing duties: Lookout Park Driving under the influence: Vallecito Road, 7th Street Possession of dangerous non-narcotic drugs: Malibu Drive Theft: Toro Canyon Road, Carpinteria Avenue, Foothill Road, Foothill Road, Birch Street, Casitas Pass Road Warrant arrest: Via Real, Carpinteria Avenue (3)

garden gossip CHRIS & LISA CULLEN I am writing this mid January after that fabulous 4-plus inch rainstorm (yay!).

Now, it’s dry again (bummer). By the time you read this, El Niño may be in full swing. In hopes that it’s too rainy for actual gardening, I decided to talk about rainy day projects this month.

The great thing about rainy days is that they give you a change to get caught up on projects that have been on the back burner way too long. I have my own list of rainy day projects, take look I’ll bet you have some too. Here’s my suggestion for the next rainy day.

Clean and sharpen garden tools

A rainy day is the perfect time to clean and sharpen your tools. Loppers, pruners, shears and even hoes, shovels, axes and saws need periodic cleaning and sharpening. If you are anything like me, this step gets neglected because I get busy and, though I hate to admit it, I haven’t cleaned and sharpened my Felco pruners in a few years (please don’t tell anyone!).

Pruners, shears and loppers

The first step is to disassemble and thoroughly clean each part by using a wire brush then steel wool and then oil thoroughly. Felco makes an excellent

biodegradable lubricant for cleaning shears, and many gardeners swear by this product. However any vegetable oil will do. They are now ready for sharpening.

There are a variety of sharpening tools made specifically for pruners and loppers; Corona and Felco both sell them.

Also, there is an excellent series of YouTube videos showing you exactly how to do this. It is worth the time to study up on sharpening your garden tools.

To keep your blades sharp, you don’t have to disassemble, just clean and sharpen every month or so depending on how often they are used.

Hoes, spades and shovels

When you sharpen your hand tools, the difference is amazing! A sharp shovel or hoe cuts rather than mashes, thus saving you effort and causing less damage to the plants.

All you need to maintain shovels, hoes and other digging tools is a wire brush and steel wood (to clean the blade), a vice, a flat file called a “bastard file” (aka a course file) and a finishing file or sand paper. Create an edge with the bastard file then smooth it with the sandpaper or finishing file. Then spray with vegetable oil to prevent rust.

Once you have cleaned and sharpened the blade, take some steel wool to the wooden handle and oil it well. Your hand tools are now ready for spring.

Random lists

If you are done cleaning and sharpening your tools and it is still raining, make a random list of garden tasks. Jot down tasks in no particular order, just as they occur to you. You can organize them into sensible categories later. Then when the rain stops, you have your marching orders for garden supremacy.

To-do list for February • Plant spring edibles like peas, carrots, turnips, broccoli and kale • Prune deciduous trees before they bud out • Feed avocado and citrus • Put down compost then mulch • Cut back ornamental grasses • Prune roses

From three bright young students, one shined the brightest in the eyes of Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce. Juan hernandez, a senior at Carpinteria high school, earned the top award bestowed to local high school seniors at the Community awards Banquet on Jan. 23. hernandez humbly accepted the Junior Carpinterian of the year award, which came with recognition and words of praise from city, state and federal representatives. state senator hannah-Beth Jackson said, “I know I sometimes fear what the world is coming to, but when I hear about extraordinary young people like you, I feel very good about the future.”

Chs senior Jacques Jougla and Cate senior Gabi Limon were runner’s up for the award and had equally impressive academic resumes and extra-curricular achievements. hernandez will receive a

2015 Educators of the Year

$4,000 scholarship, and $1,500 will go to each of the runner’s up. the clearest distinction between hernandez and other nominees was his ability overcome the social challenge of having a spanish-speaking household. In an interview with Coastal View News last week, he said, “It was kind of arduous …

I knew I couldn’t stay silent and get my homework done.” hernandez will likely attend college at one of top choices u.C. santa Barbara, santa Cruz, Los angeles and Berkeley. he is scheduled to receive an associate’s degree in international business from santa Barbara City College this spring before leaving for university. state assemblyman Das Williams said, “this man is going to go far, and it’s inspiring to see.”

Crowley’s award came with recognition and words of praise from city, state and federal representatives. State Assemblyman Das Williams said, “In a community that values volunteerism above anything else to be chosen as the volunteer is an honor above all else.”

Crowley said the outlook is good in her battle against cancer and she’s hopeful that pioneering immuno-therapy

treatments she is receiving will stop the disease in its tracks. The support she has received has emboldened her and given her courage. “It slows me down a little, but I’m not bed ridden.

Gym protocols: your road map to humility a trainer’s journal

ROB BURKE Viewing the world through retrospection is an amazing ability. Learning from reflection is optimal. This is one reason why age is more than a chronological marker; it is an indication that hopefully, learning has occurred and manifested itself as wisdom. When I look back at my youth, I garner a chuckle now and then when I remember how I thought I knew everything I needed to know in life by age 18. After all, I was now an adult according to the Constitution and such a proclamation is like giving me my own keys to the world.

I’ve been a trainer and wellness professional for over 30 years, but I had to start somewhere and that somewhere was age 19. Unfortunately, at such an early age, arrogance and cockiness were only tempered by an innate empathy. Still, I thought I was pretty hot. I was on the water polo team in college. I was popular.

Therefore I was the perfect candidate for a job at the local mega health club. They were looking for a swim instructor and I considered myself a shoe-in. I got the job.

I was also provided access to the facility as a perk of employment.

One night, I entered the gym for the first time. I acted like I owned the place.

I was new to weight training but nobody was ever going to know it.

I milled about. I managed to find my way to the weight room. Before me were three shiny circuits of the latest Nautilus machines. Those of you with some lon-

gevity under your belts might remember when Nautilus was all of the rage. Well, I was a part of that rage and managed to work up a really good sweat, which led me to the locker room for a quick shower before heading home.

As soon as I entered the empty locker room, I disrobed out of my 1980s short shorts, knee-high tube socks, and formfitting tank top, leaving my soaked gym attire in a heap on the floor. Buck naked, with a towel in my hand, I looked around the maze of lockers in search of the showers. I entered the vacant communal shower room and immediately started to wash my hair and face. Blindness by soap apparently created an acute sense of hearing as I heard two voices in the distance. They were giggling. The giggles didn’t match my environment or did they? I immediately recognized that these weren’t the high-pitched giggles of pre-pubescent boys—these were women’s giggles.

I feverishly rinsed the soap from my naked body to find two women with towels tightly wrapped around their bodies and another towel providing a turban-like head covering.

“Uh, do you think you might be in the wrong place?” one woman blurted out in laughter.

Oh crap! I ran out of the shower so fast, I left my towel and change of clothes behind. I threw on my sweat-soaked gym

CITY COUNCIL: Continued from page 1

some controversy. In the planning commission’s recommendation, language related to banning deliveries was stricken.

No deadline has been placed on when cities must prohibit deliveries, and the argument has been made that traveling to a dispensary out of town is an unnecessary burden for sick patients prescribed medical marijuana. “You have effectively cut off access to this medication,” said Jane Benefield, a member of the planning commission who spoke at the city council meeting as a resident in favor of lifting the ban on deliveries.

The council, however, opted to adopt the ordinance with the request that the issue be brought back later for closer scrutiny. “I really understand that there are a lot of folks that need (medical marijuana),” said Brad Stein. “I think we should be looking at this right away and amending it in the near future.”

City says “no thank you” to oil trains

A letter asking the San Luis Obispo County Planning Commission to deny the proposed Phillips 66 Santa Maria Refinery Rail Spur Extension Project will be sent with Mayor Gregg Carty’s signature thanks to a unanimous vote by the Carpinteria City Council. The rail spur is an unpopular proposal in several communities that will have trains loaded with oil coming though should the project be approved.

“We could see up to five more trains a week coming through Carp with as

many as 80 cars on them carrying oil.

It’s a safety issue,” said Steve Goggia, acting Community Development Director. “If something were to happen, as it has before … it could be devastating to Carpinteria.”

San Luis Obispo County Planning Commission’s hearing on the matter will take place on Feb. 4 and 5.

City manager housing to be weighed

In an effort to retain talent in the top city staff position, the city council will form an ad hoc committee to consider housing assistance for the city manager.

The committee will review various options, including the purchase of a home for the city manager to live in.

Current City Manager Dave Durflinger’s employment contract states that housing assistance will be considered, but he has deferred any action to that end. Durflinger has worked as the city manager since 2001.

“Each city manager that’s come here has talked about how expensive it is to come here to Carpinteria,” said Councilman Brad Stein. “It’s really difficult to keep a city manager in a small town like this.”

The council unanimously supported formation of an ad hoc committee. “If you’ve got a great quarterback, you do everything you can to keep him,” said Councilman Fred Shaw.

clothing as I careened through open locker doors desperately trying to find the exit amongst the labyrinth of aisles. In fewer than three minutes, I was out of the building and in full dramatic hysteria, as any 19-year-old male would be after such an experience. Oh my God! Those women saw my… I have to quit my job. I can’t go back there now.

So, what did I learn? Over the years, I learned that knowing your environment, especially in the gym, is of optimal value.

I also learned that it’s best to shower at home.

To this day, I recall this story and cringe, especially when I see a man or a woman unintentionally enter a locker room not intended for their gender only to tornado out of the room like they were never in there. I knew firsthand how their departure from awareness could have led to a really ugly scene created by not paying attention.

So take it from me, when you join a gym, take the tour. Ask questions. Find out if there are any special rules you should follow like ensuring that naked body parts in one room must be congruent matches.

the wrong size or if you’re experiencing dry-fit fiber fatigue, they might be better left for private workouts.

Another rule, don’t be afraid to ask for guidance.

• Finally, be polite and recognize that you’re in a communal environment.

The gym is no place to test your ability to stake out territory for your exclusive use, or monopolize the weights or bully a newbie. The gym should be a positive and humbling experience where we recognize that we’re all striving for the same health, fitness and wellness goals. Nobody is better just because of the way they look. You are better because of the positive way you treat others. That’s real humility.

When you’re in the weight room, don’t portray yourself as an idiot because you have too much pride to ask someone for help. If you think that you’re too cool to ask for assistance because you’ll expose your neophyte status, trust me, you’ll remove all doubt because you’re doing everything wrong!

Other gym rules to ensure humility:

• Make sure that activity in the weight room does not come screeching to a stop just because you made an entrance wearing an inappropriate outfit. General rule: If anyone can see what you look like naked because your gym clothes are probably

• Make sure that you maintain your coolness by throwing on an outfit that does not look like you planned it around your hottest body part. Also, extreme matching outfits, otherwise known as adult Grrrranimals will only come back to haunt you because trust me, if you dress like you know you’re hot, someone is taking your picture and it will appear on Facebook— and not in a good way.

• Sweats or basketball shorts and a loose-fitting T-shirt are all you really need to avoid being that person who screams, “Look at me! I need to be your focal point.”

• Do not bathe in cologne before entering the gym. If someone can taste your arrival, you’ve missed the art of subtlety.

If you work in a meat packing plant, no amount of cologne is going to hide your stench.

• Come to the gym with clean workout wear and a body to match.

• Do not assume that the person who uses the bench after you will be more than happy to wipe off your sweaty excrements. Be considerate and imagine how much you would like to wallow in someone else’s bodily fluids. Well, I’m sure there are some of you out there, but generally speaking, it’s not cool to ditch your sweat.

Cate’s Mikaela Li winds her way through traffic in a 45-44 nail biter taken by the Rams.

Rams hold off Warriors Cate 45, Carpinteria 44

BY ALONZO OROZCO

Cate School girls basketball built a double-digit second-quarter lead at Carpinteria High School and needed every bit of that cushion to withstand a furious rally by the Warriors en route to a 45-44 road Frontier League win. “(Carpinteria) always brings it to the end; it’s always back and forth with us,” said Cate coach Amy Venditta of the past games between the two schools.

Both teams started sluggishly with Carpinteria being unable to convert inside the paint, and the Rams having difficulty finding good shots against the Warriors’ tight defense. “We struggle to move the ball sometimes against a good man-to-man defense, so that’s how it started out,” said Venditta. “We got

better really quickly, so that was good,” she added. The Cate charge was led by senior point guard Elan Halpern whose six points earned the Rams a 14-6 lead by the end of the first quarter.

Halpern found post player Maliha Hollis near the goal, and Hollis’ layup made it a 10-point Rams lead with under five minutes to play in the half at 22-12.

The versatile Halpern had a huge impact on the game with her scoring, passing and rebounding. “We’re trying to play her (Halpern) at post and point; she got to do both … she runs it (the offense) from both sides,” explained Venditta.

Halpern led all scorers with 26 for the game.

Harmony Reed rises for a contested layup to contribute to her 15-point game. ily due to the inside play of Harmony Reed who tallied seven first-half points to reduce the lead to 24-17 going into the intermission. “(Reed) was giving us everything. She kept us really in the ball game,” said Carpinteria coach Dan Mercer of the effort by the junior forward. Reed ended up being the second leading scorer in the game with 15. The Warriors applied an aggressive press in the backcourt early in the third quarter, which led to some steals and easy baskets but wasn’t enough to reduce the deficit.

Cate maintained its seven-point lead and headed into the final quarter up 36-29.

Junior Monique Sanchez’s fourth quarter three-point rainbow closed the gap, and Carpinteria trailed by just three with around a minute to play. With 39 seconds left, Warrior senior guard Sierra Diaz converted two free throws, and the

lead was down to one at 45-44. Diaz had 12 points on the night as the game’s third leading scorer.

Carpinteria earned two more foul shots down by one point with six seconds in the game. Junior Tori Kelley missed the first shot, and the second shot rattled off the front and back of the rim, falling in and out. Kelley had a strong second half, finishing the game with six points; while Hollis’ stellar inside play lead to eight points by the Ram senior.

“I thought the key to the game was the first quarter, really our missed shots,” said Mercer. “It’s not the two free throws at the end of the game … I’m really proud of our comeback,” he added. The two will meet again the final game of the regular season for both teams on Feb. 11 at Cate School’s Sprague Gymnasium.

Carpinteria High School

Jan. 18 – The Carpinteria High School boys soccer team took a trip up Highway 154, and came back home with a 5-0 loss in a friendly match versus Dunn School. The Warriors went into the half down 1-0 and could never recover against a very fast Earwig team that included six players from Sierra Leone. Carpinteria’s overall record dropped to 2-9-0, but the team still owns a perfect Tri-Valley League record at 2-0-0.

“We will continue to work at our craft and execute the opportunities at goal when they arise throughout our remaining league games,” said Carpinteria coach Leo Quintero.

Jan. 22 – The Carpinteria High School boys soccer team treated fans to a showdown against Malibu that resulted in a 3-1 win in favor of the “Mighty Warriors.” Luis Garcia opened up the scoring by feeding Brian Tiara in the 16th minute of the first half. With the game tied at halftime, Juan Pablo Alvarez converted a penalty kick to put Carpinteria up 2-1 in the second half. After a bang-bang play, Garcia found himself on the front side of an own goal for Malibu that gave the Warriors a 3-1 lead in the 36th minute. Keeper Edward Delgado came up big with four saves.

Jan. 21 - The Carpinteria High School girls soccer team defeated Santa Clara 8-0 in a Frontier League game. Jenny Alaniz recorded a hat trick, scoring three times in the first half. She was the recipient of some very unselfish play by Alejandra Alvarez who assisted on two of the goals. Alvarez did score a pair also, one in each half. Tatiana Requejo had a goal and two assists on the night.

Jan. 23 - The Carpinteria High School girls soccer team played one of its best games to date, but came out on the losing end of a Frontier League matchup, dropping a 2-1 decision to Foothill Tech. Foothill Tech scored with two minutes to go in the first half on a well-timed run off a free kick from midfield for a 1-0 lead. Keeper Laura Valdez made a great reaction save but her punch only went up and out about five yards for a Foothill Tech rebound and score. In the second half, the Warriors really turned up the pressure and capitalized on a free kick with Alejandra Garcia placing a perfect ball to Alejandra Alvarez who calmly knocked it in. Foothill Tech countered off a Carpinteria attack with about 10 minutes to go for the winning goal.

In the second half, the Warriors finally broke through with Jenny Alaniz playing a nice ball to Alejandra Alvarez who volleyed it over the Villanova keeper’s head for a 1-0 lead. Then Alvarez returned the favor as she set up Alaniz on a well-placed corner kick. The ball fell to Alaniz’s feet and she unleashed a quick shot that the keeper had no chance of saving for the second goal. “A much needed win for us as we continue our push to qualify for the CIF playoffs,” said Carpinteria coach Charles Bryant.

Cate School Athletes of the Week

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Jan. 20 - The Carpinteria High School girls water polo team suffered a painful setback against rival Malibu, falling by a score of 12-7 and slipping into third place in the TriValley League. Clutch goalkeeping from Warrior Nicole Poulos kept the game close early; as the junior shut down multiple Malibu fast breaks in the first half, finishing with 10 saves. Offensively, senior Kimmy Methmann and sophomore Lili Castillo led the scoring with two goals apiece, while seniors Brenda Rodriguez, Crystal Landeros and Elena Benidze rounded out the offensive effort for Carpinteria each tallying one.

Jan. 22 - The Carpinteria High School girls water polo team, in its first ever match against the new program at Santa Paula, was victorious 15-1. This was through no lack of spirit or effort on the part of the Cardinals, who put 14 shots on goal against junior goalie Nicole Poulos, who made a near-perfect 13 saves.

Jan. 25 – The Carpinteria High School girls water polo team traveled to crosstown rival Cate on Monday, handily defeating the Rams, 10-3. As always, Carpinteria benefited from outstanding play of goalie Nicole Poulos who made 13 saves. The Warriors took advantage of a Cate double team on senior standout Brenda Rodriguez to create scoring opportunities from the perimeter. The redoubtable Rodriguez still led Carpinteria with three goals, ably assisted by Crystal Landeros and Lili Castillo (two goals each) with Alondra Costilla, Elena Benidze and Kimmy Methmann each adding one goal. The Warriors took sole possession of third place with the win, remaining in the playoff hunt.

Jan. 20 – The Cate School boys basketball team put together a good team effort offensively and defensively in a 75-44 win versus Foothill Tech. Marko Pliso cashed in 31 points on 15 shots, and Clinton Hall scored 23 to lead the Rams over the Dragons.

“We played an up tempo game and our press really haunted Foothill Tech,” said Ram coach Andy Gil. Cate is now 2-3 in league (3-7 overall), and will wrap up the first round of league this Friday with Fillmore at home at 7 p.m.

club scene Morning Rotarians asked to ramp up vocational service

ABOVE, Scout Master Thom Main oversees the race as the scouts cheer on their handmade cars.

From left are Roxanne and Wade Nomura, William Kingston and Bob Kingston.

Past Rotary President and current City Councilman Wade Nomura spoke to the Carpinteria Morning Rotary Club on the concept of vocational service on Jan. 20.

Nomura reminded the group of the many ways in which vocational service has benefited the local community, citing examples such as Tomol Park. Using the vocational expertise of Rotary members, the park was designed, constructed and maintained to benefit the entire community of Carpinteria. Internationally, the Carpinteria Morning Rotary has applied vocational service and expertise by providing Polio vaccinations in multiple countries. Additionally, in April of this year, Rotary members will travel to Central Mexico to offer hands-on support, donate a Jaws of Life and a much-needed ambulance to the community there.

Anyone interested in better serving the community can visit the club during an upcoming meeting. Meetings are held on Wednesdays from 7 to 8 a.m. at the Carpinteria Woman’s Club, 1059 Vallecito Road.

RIGHT, Wolf Scout Junior Duran outraced the rest of the entries into this year’s Pack 50 pinewood derby.

Scouts race to the finish

Wolf Scout Junior Duran’s handmade car sped past the competition to earn him the title at the Pack 50 Pinewood Derby on Jan. 23 at the Carpinteria Community Church. The young speed demon will go on to compete in the Southcoast Pinewood Derby in Goleta next month. In preparation for the derby, each participant started with a block of wood, four wheels and four nails as axles. The scouts designed, built and decorated their vehicles around the theme Wild Animals. A round robin was held for each of the four dens, and the winners of that round competed for the top spot.

Noon Rotary looks at the weather

The Rotary Club of Carpinteria shared their noontime lunch with KeYT weatherman Alan Rose on Jan. 21 at Lions Community building. Rose explained the difference between el Niño and La Niña, and what weather pattern is currently taking place in the local area this week. Rose graduated from the University of Alabama, and after earning his master’s degree, he came to Santa barbara to work for Channel 3 TV. Rose was invited to speak by past president Andy bailard and thanked for his time by current club president Rich Campos.

From left, are retired city employee Pat Lemere, City Manager Dave Durflinger, Republican Club President Stan Graber and Magda Overgaag.

City update presented at Republican Club meeting

Carpinteria City Manager Dave Durflinger was the guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Carpinteria Valley Republican Club at Sly’s Restaurant. Members learned about local freeway and road projects, vacation rental issues, the concern for the homeless and the city budget. Durflinger answered many questions from the audience. The next meeting for the club will be on April 23 and will include presentations by candidates running for office.

Woman’s Club hosts Valentine’s fun

Recently retired school teacher Janey Cohen has rediscovered her love of art and is ready to inspire others at a Valentine’s workshop at the next meeting of the Carpinteria Woman’s Club on Wednesday, Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. at the clubhouse, 1059 Vallecito Road.

The event promises lots of revelry and artistic expression while Cohen teaches the group a unique and easy watercolor painting technique that anyone can do, even without any prior experience. Participants will be able to take home their artwork, transformed into Valentine’s Day cards. basic materials will be provided, but participants can also bring their own watercolor paints and brushes, a hair dryer to speed up the drying process and collage materials, stamps, glue, glitter, etc. to bedazzle the greeting cards. entry is free, and attendees are asked to bring a sweet or savory Valentine’s dish or bottle of wine to share.

Roasted red pepper and carrot soup

This is a popular vegan soup if for no other reason than it is easy to make and goes from the stove to the table in 60 minutes. In addition, the carrots and bell peppers have beta-carotene, which is a good source of anti-oxidants.

The combination of carrots and red bell peppers provides a beautiful color to this soup and, with the roasted peppers, a RANDY GRAHAM full-bodied flavor. The addition of lemon juice just before serving is a nice flavor flash that brings out the roasted peppers.

Here is my take on this smooth-textured, richly flavored soup. For a complete meal, serve with a loaf of fresh-baked bread.

Seismic wiggle room CHUCK GRAHAM

unpredictable wilderness When I was kayaking with friend Carl Donohue to the rear of the Taan Fijord and the calving Tyndall Glacier inside Wrangell St. Elias National Park in Southeast Alaska, I had an uneasy feeling about where we were going. It was just a feeling.

That sea kayaking trip was in June 2015, and I wrote a column about it for Coastal View News last August. We camped in the first row of spruce trees at Icy Bay about 15 miles west of the Tyndall Glacier. Donohue leads kayak trips there but had never had the opportunity to paddle all the way to the Tyndall Glacier.

So far all his clients have ventured no farther than Icy Bay. As we left Icy Bay and paddled inside the Taan Fijord, we were feeling really small. The fijord narrowed and because the St. Elias, Chugach and Wrangell Mountains are the largest coastal mountain range in the world, mountains well over 10,000 feet towered over us on all sides. Massive waterfalls spilled off broad cliff faces cascading down to where we paddled. The smell from natural oil seepage was thick in the air and the emerald green water was silky smooth.

The ice floes increased as we closed in on the glacier; they creaked and cracked as we banged into them with the bows of our kayaks. When we got to the glacier we sat and relaxed marveling at its chunky face. Ice floes swirled around us and the glacier was calving inside bellowing across the fijord. Then a huge chunk of ice the size of a mack truck broke free from the outer edge of the glacier. A huge splash followed sending a 3-foot wave our way. We both sat up pointing our bows into the oncoming roller. It barely capped, and afterwards we moved away from the glacier.

It was a great trip mainly because it was just us. It’s very remote, cold and I recently learned it’s one of the most seismically active regions in the world.

Just before Christmas, Donohue sent me a link from Columbia University about an earthquake that occurred last October 17 at the backend of the Taan Fijord, sending a 200-million ton landslide down to the base of the Tyndall Glacier. Satellite images showed the landslide covered more than half of the glacier’s chunky face with rock and dirt filling up the fijord where we were paddling and hanging out observing the glacier.

The landslide was the largest detected since the collapse at Mount St. Helens back in May 1980. Its signature appeared almost simultaneously in seismograms monitored by the Global CMT Project at Columbia University’s Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory all the way on the other side of the country.

A few months after Chuck Graham and Carl Donohue paddled around the Tyndall Glacier last summer, an earthquake triggered a 200-million ton landslide at the glacier.

A tsunami followed, and satellite images show the damage done on one of the steep peninsulas that are exposed extending inside the Taan Fijord. The particular peninsula is located about six miles from the Tyndall Glacier. The fallen trees lying around the peninsula were in a pattern associated with the affects from a tsunami.

We paddled around this peninsula. The shoreline was rocky and steep and the treeline began at the water’s edge. The trees continued up a steep knoll and from the satellite images only the trees at the top of the knoll still stand.

Donohue told me when he was scouting out trips to lead at Icy Bay he paddled to this peninsula and camped near the water’s edge. He went for a paddle and came back late in the day to find a grizzly bear had ravaged his camp.

When we returned to our camp at about 9 p.m. the tide had moved in and with it the pulse of a swell. A set was rolling up the entire shoreline of Icy Bay. Gray overcast was hanging low over the frigid water and ice floes were choking the bay. Long, sweeping lines wrapped around Kageet Point, and the sound of the surf rolling toward us was like nothing I had ever heard. Bellowing and groaning, the waves got louder as they ran past us on the edge of a steep berm of cobble, nullifying the repetitive honks by Canadian geese flying by.

“I’ve often thought about how screwed I’d be if something happened there,” said Donohue. “Fortunately, such events are rare, but I’m glad we weren’t there then.”
