Oil trains become grave Carpinteria concern BY DALE MYERS
“We think it is urgent for the city council to send a letter to San Luis Obispo County. If they don’t build it, they won’t come.”
The Carpinteria City Council in its March 23 meeting voted unanimously in favor (without absent Councilman Brad Stein) of authorizing the mayor to sign a letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation advocating for safety improvements regarding railroad transportation of crude oil and other hazardous materials. “At a local level, this has become an important issue,” said City Manager Dave Durflinger. “We have a rail line that goes ––Jim Taylor, through Carpinteria in close proximity to resivice president, dential and commercial Carpinteria Valley properties.” Association Durflinger added that any accident involving crude-oil transportation by rail could be disastrous for the community. The city manager referenced the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster that occurred in Quebec, Canada, in 2013 when an unattended 74-car freight train carrying Bakken Shale formation crude oil derailed resulting in an explosion and fire that caused the deaths of 47 people and the destruction of 30 buildings. Mike Mingee, Carpinteria-Summerland Fire District Chief, said, “Bakken crude is highly flammable. All the firefighters in the world couldn’t do anything to help that fire.” Emergency Services Coordinator Julie Jeakle also highlighted the findings of a State of California Interagency Rail Safety Working Group oil by rail safety in California report, which states that in 2012 only 1 million barrels of oil were transported in the state, but that number dramatically increased to 6.3 million barrels in 2013, or 506 percent. This uptick parallels a sharp increase in oil-by-rail shipments nationally, due in large part to increases in production of oil from the Bakken Shale formation in North Dakota, one of the largest oil developments in the U.S. in the past 40 years. The findings also indicate a simultaneous surge in accidents associated with oil-by-rail transport. In fact, more crude oil by volume was spilled in rail incidents in 2013 than was spilled in the nearly four decades prior. Of particular concern to the many Carpinteria residents in attendance was the proposed Phillips 66 rail

Little legs whose surplus energy make up for any shortage in length rocketed into the 1-mile fun run for Orchard to Ocean on March 21. The annual event, put on by Carpinteria Education Foundation and benefiting local public schools, also included 5K and 10K races starting from Carpinteria Children’s Project at Main and winding along the picturesque Carpinteria Bluffs. The day of leg stretching concluded with the fun run for kids. See page 14 for more photos.
Drought gets expensive Water rates likely to rise 15 to 20 percent BY LEA BOYD
Facing $1.3 million in drought-related expenses for 2015-2016, the Carpinteria Valley Water District is considering a rate hike that would raise customer bills by 15 to 20 percent. The chance of any drought-denting rainfall is nearly nil at this point in the season; thus the water district’s $7.4 million draft budget includes water purchases and conservation efforts that could be necessary if Lake Cachuma continues its shift from Carpinteria’s main water source to no water source at all. All indications point to Oct. 1 arriving, when annual allocations of Cachuma water become available, without an ounce of water allotted for the upcoming year to agencies that rely on the lake, said CVWD General Manager Charles Hamilton. The recent rainy season brought the lake level up just a few feet higher than where the last dry season had left it at just 25 percent of its capacity. Once CVWD, Santa Barbara, Goleta and Montecito Water District pull out what remains of the 45 percent allocation agreed upon for this year, the lake will be more mud than water. Legally required releases of water to support endan-
Those who have not made changes to their water use habits, however, can reduce the impact of a rate hike by getting serious about water conservation. gered steelhead trout, which amount to 3,551 acre feet, formerly seemed like a drop in the bucket but have become highly sought after by thirsty water districts. Hamilton said that without naturally flowing water to support trout populations in creeks, the water releases from Cachuma serve no purpose. He has requested that the Bureau of Reclamation free up the fish release

Purchased by Haggen Pacific Southwest earlier this year, the Carpinteria Vons store will close on April 16 at 6 p.m. and open as a Haggen store on the afternoon of April 18. The pharmacy will remain open during conversion, starting late morning on April 17, though dates are subject to change, according to a Haggen representative. Haggen, a Pacific Northwest grocery chain, purchased 146 stores owned by Safeway and Albertsons, including the Carpinteria Vons store, which is part of the Safeway company. The transaction was a divestment process brought about by the Federal Trade Commission’s review of the Albertsons and Safeway merger. A Carlsbad store was converted to the first California Haggen in mid-March, and all of the 146 stores are expected to be converted by the Fourth of July. Before purchasing the Vons and Safeway stores, Haggen owned 18 stores with 16 pharmacies in the Pacific Northwest. The company describes its offerings as “big brands, organic finds, everyday essentials, old favorites and locally sourced goods, all at an affordable price, and all under one roof.”
Water symposium to focus on conservation
The Carpinteria Water Security Symposium, co-sponsored by Carpinteria Valley Association and Carpinteria Beautiful, is a free event scheduled for Sunday, April 19 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at Plaza Playhouse Theater, 4961 Carpinteria Ave. The symposium will focus on near and long-term conservation strategies, such as recycling, individual greywater and rainwater catchment systems and wise water usage in a period of ongoing water challenges for our area. The event will begin with a film screening of “Eyes on the Sky,” a documentary about water, by producer and local resident Steve Nicolaides, whose films include “When Harry Met Sally” and “A Few Good Men.”

OIL TRAINS:
Continued from page 1 spur extension project in neighboring San luis obispo (Slo) county, a highly contentious project that would add approximately 1.3 miles of new track to the Santa Maria refinery in Nipomo and enable Phillips 66 to offload an 80-car oil train from the mainline Union Pacific track. If the spur is built, the refinery will be able to handle five train unloads a week, with each train carrying between 1.8 and 2.1 million gallons of crude oil. Additionally, trains delivering crude oil would likely come through Santa Barbara and carpinteria, with the biggest concern being highly flammable Bakken crude. “You can’t put those fires out with water, you need foam,” said Mingee. “We think it is urgent for the city council to send a letter to San luis obispo county,” said Jim Taylor, vice president of the carpinteria Valley Association. “If they don’t build it, they won’t come.” Former carpinteria Mayor richard Weinberg, who was celebrating a birthday, also weighed in, “My living room is 25 feet away from the railway,” he said. “I hope you give me a good birthday present and write us a good letter.” Federal law governs most major aspects of rail transport and preempts most state regulations, yet the state and local agencies have the lead in the areas of emergency planning, preparedness and response. “We are just as prepared as any other community,” said Mingee, “but it does take time.” Durflinger added that Carpinteria can advocate for improved rail transportation safety by sending letters urging safety improvements to state and federal officials, but the Phillips 66 project is entirely up to Slo county decision-makers. “What they do in Slo affects your community,” said Fran Farina, representing state Senator hannah-Beth Jackson, addressing the council. “There is nothing we can do but stop this project.” The next city council meeting will take place on Monday, April 13, at 5:30 p.m. in the council chamber at city hall, 5775 carpinteria Ave.

Carpinteria woman turns 106 A local woman who turned 106 on March 21 credits simple luck for her good health and her 38,690 days on earth. Thelma “Mickey” Van Stane celebrated the incredible milestone with a chocolate cake and a party with her friends and housemates last Saturday. Van Stane was warmly welcomed into her 107th year at the carpinteria Senior lodge, a residential care facility for elders where she has lived since the fall of 2013. Prior to that, the independent centenarian lived alone in Sandpiper Mobile home Park. A native of Texas, Van Stane moved west to carpinteria about 20 years ago to be closer to her sister after her husband passed away. Though she is hard of hearing now, Van Stane remains otherwise healthy and alert, according to her caregivers. She has a love of chocolate, which was indulged on her birthday with a slice of chocolate cake. her caregivers also report that she is a talented artist. last year, on her 105th birthday, Van Stane told CVN, “It’s amazing that I’ve lasted this long.” cVn staff has already marked the calendar to photograph the amazing woman celebrating 107 a year from now.

Reject fire tax
I am surprised that the fire district would ask voters to decide a 30-year tax in a special election. It is important to compare taxes side by side on a ballot and allow time for debate. A recent annual report from the district distributed in this paper was equally odd as it contained none of the usual information found in such reports related to cost of operations, administration and comparison of the district to other fire districts. When I consider that the fire district chooses to rent an administration building instead of using space it owns on Walnut Avenue I am not inclined to give it more money. That is money that should have been saved over the years for a new Summerland station. I have a great deal of respect for our firefighters and figure they know more than we do about this matter. I do not hear them backing the bond. I will vote no on the fire bond in April.
John Culbertson Carpinteria
Costs little, saves lives
In early May we will be given the opportunity to vote on Measure Z, which will provide funding for a new fire station in Summerland and upgrades to the fire station in Carpinteria. The mail only ballots must be postmarked by May 5 to be counted. This measure is vitally important for our community as the Summerland station is almost 100 years old and has been patched and propped up much past its useful life. It is not seismically safe and is too small to house a wildfire fighting engine. With current weather conditions and our proximity to fields of brush, it is essential that our firefighters have the best resources we as a community can provide. Measure Z has the support of the firefighters, our District Supervisor, the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire District Board and has been in the making for six years. It is a very advantageous time to float a bond with the current interest rate climate. The cost to taxpayers will be less than $10 per $100,000 of assessed valuation, and will only be assessed as costs are incurred. For example, the initial phase of building the Summerland station is projected to require approximately $5 per assessed value or less. The remaining assessment up to the $9.82 maximum would occur as utilization is necessitated. These funds will be used for fire station construction and upgrades only. No administration or personnel costs are included. Now is the time for action. Please join me in voting yes on Measure Z!

Our library needs your love
Ageism at the DMV?
Our Carpinteria Library has been serving residents of the Carpinteria Valley in the same building since 1933. While the building may seem the same, the library’s services, programs and technology have kept up with our changing times. An average day at our library includes 450-plus patrons and visitors, 295 transactions of books and media, 70-plus computer sessions, 35 preschooler computer sessions, 30-plus teaching/assisting interactions with individual patrons, 20 students supervised in the homework center and library/community use of multipurpose room all day. I think you’ll agree with me that over the years, our library has truly become a year-round educational center for our community. At our last Friends of the Library board meeting, we learned that, because of financial constraints on the county library system, we are in danger of having our library closed one day each week, beginning July 1 and the reduction of Library Supervisor Tara O’Reilly’s hours by two days each week. Friends provide nearly 25 percent of our library’s basic budget and help in other ways such as with new carpet, a remodeled multipurpose room and funds for youth programs. The city also provides much support including upkeep and care of the building, reduced rent for the bookstore and general funds. Next year’s budget is $15,000 short of maintaining current hours and a full-time supervisor. I’m asking for your help. Join us at Seaside Park next to the Friends of the Carpinteria Library Book Store on Friday, March 27 at 5:30 p.m. sharp to be in a group video shouting “We love our library!” You can also show your love by making a tax-deductible donation, dropped at the library, mailed to the Friends, 5151 Carpinteria Avenue, or at friendsofcarpinterialibrary.org. Together we can keep this essential resource open and running smoothly.

Next year’s (library) budget is $15,000 short of maintaining current hours and a full-time supervisor.
Having already passed the written drivers license test with a 100 percent and the vision exam with no glasses required, I recently returned to the Santa Barbara DMV to take the driving test. A lady examiner came to my car and took my papers. She said, “Well let’s see what’s going on?” and went back into the office. About 10 minutes later, she returned, handed back my papers and said, “Another examiner will be taking you.” A second lady appeared with a clipboard, took my papers and after checking my lights and turn signals, got in the car and began her instructions, after first stating, “I’m not going to try and trick you.” Her grim attitude began to make me feel a little uncomfortable. She ordered me to turn left, turn right on some of Santa Barbara’s busiest, narrowest streets. My wheel went over a line, and I was really shocked when she declared I’d failed to stop at a boulevard stop sign. Then the backing up in a straight line test ended with a noisy crunch, and she (almost triumphantly) announced I’d hit the curb. I murmured it sounded more like an object in the gutter. (I never heard a tire hitting the curb sound like that). Following cars in traffic, she stated,
you must be far enough back to see the bottom of their bumper. I saw the bumper, maybe not the bottoms, but with several more minor critiques, I began to feel I was destined to fail. It never occurred to me that I might. Chronologically, I’m 99 years old, but not an average one, according to my doctor and other professionals. I’ve been driving for 83 years, had one minor accident and two moving violations years ago. Driving is one of my main pleasures, and keeping my independence is important to me. I have two more chances to take the test, but I’m wondering if the DMV is discriminating unfairly against elders without considering the merit of a good safe driving record.

Involuntarily wasted
I am a resident of Carpinteria. I routinely use the pathway (freeway underpass) alongside Carpinteria Creek between Via Real and Carpinteria Avenue. Lately I have noticed that there are piles of human feces along the pathway. This coincides with the regular appearance of the same homeless people in the area. I suspect that there is an encampment along the creek. One older man often shouts at the people as they pass through the pathway. Having to avoid random piles of human waste on my morning runs is bad enough, but seeing it there in increasing amounts day after day and having to wonder if the person yelling at me as I run by is going to act out and physically interfere with me is extremely unsettling. I am hoping that there is something that can be done to address this problem and that once again the pathway will be a pleasant and safe place to use.

Depression and seniors
Approximately 7 million adults in the United States experience latelife depression. Not surprisingly, depression is highest among seniors who have lost their independence. Typical warning signs, according to Greta Pankratz, LCSW, are increased alcohol use, requests for additional pain medication, increased physical complaints, isolation and an inability to adapt to the changes around them. Additional symptoms include sadness, fatigue, withdrawal, suicidal thoughts, diminished feelings of self-worth and a loss of interest in hobbies or other enjoyable pastimes. Sadly, depression in older adults is too often dismissed as an inevitable effect of aging, illness or medication. In fact, studies indicate that only about 10 percent of seniors with depression receive treatment. Pankratz has found that many seniors don’t realize that the level of depression they are living with is not “normal” and is highly treatable. “Stigma is particularly strong in this age group. For example, if I ask depressed seniors if they want to engage in continued therapy, they will usually decline. But if I drop the medical terms and ask them if they would like to continue to talk with me, I usually receive a positive response,” said Pankratz. She noted that as with other age groups, a combination of therapy and medication can be quite effective. She has found that many older adults enjoy support groups as a welcome break from loneliness and isolation. Helpful information is available in websites like Helpguide.org and Webmd. com.

Obituary
Aurelia “Sally” Moreno Ornelas
Sally Ornelas, 87, passed away March 23, 2015 from complications from heart disease. She is preceded in death by her husband, Abran G. Ornelas, and her sons, Michael Ornelas and Anthony Ornelas. Sally grew up in Carpinteria and worked in the lemon packinghouse while also raising her kids. She was a caregiver and housekeeper for years. Sally was a loving, caring person who seemed to know everyone. When she was walking around Carp, she waved at everyone and made new friends everywhere she went. She always thought, “Oh, that’s so nice” about everything,
and she saw the beauty in all things. She loved living in Carpinteria. She had so much love to give and offered so much love. She loved her crossword puzzles and loved to have her little drink. And those darn chicharones! She loved all her family more than anything, and she is going to be dearly missed. She was the sweetest, strongest lady ever, and we all looked up to her. She is survived by her children, Frances Alvarado, Joe “Mighty” Rivera, Lydia Ornelas, Alice Ramos and Roseanna Dugan, her nine grandchildren, 17 greatgrandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. The family thanks the fantastic nursing staff at Cottage Hospital for their fine care and good tendering of our mother, Aurelia. Also, a special thank you to Dr. Shenoda, Dr. West, Dr. Zisman and the staff from the Samsun Anticoagulation Clinic. The Rosary will be held Monday, March 30, 2015 at 7 p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 1532 Linden Ave., and the mass will be March 31, 2015 at 10 a.m. at the church. Burial will follow immediately at Carpinteria Cemetery. Arrangements by Pueblo del Rey Funeral Services, (805) 895-8409.
WATER RATES: Continued from page 1
water simply to provide area agencies with this year’s allocation of 45 percent of normal. CVWD customers typically use 4,200 AF of water annually, but thanks to conservation efforts, about 3,600 AF of water will take the district through this budget year, which ends on June 30. The upcoming district budget was drafted on the assumption that CVWD will supply 3,900 AF to customers. About a quarter will come from carryover Cachuma water from the past year’s allocation. The State Water Project should provide 632 AF, which is based on the project allowing just 20 percent of the district’s full allocation. Groundwater, then, will be the district’s saving grace, amounting to 2,300 AF or more than half of what the district has budgeted for sales in 2016. Drought costs factored into the draft budget include $10,000 for public information, $70,000 for water conservation programs, $260,000 to possibly purchase 400 AF off the “spot water market,” $210,000 to power pumps at district wells, $570,000 in variable State Water costs and $180,000 toward the district’s portion of a barge and pump at Lake Cachuma that will soon be necessary to lift water into the Tecolote Tunnel to feed it to South County water users. At its meeting of March 25, which took place after CVN went to press, the CVWD Board of Directors was set to vote on a notice informing customers of the potential rate change. If the proposed rates are approved, a residential customer who uses 6 units of water would see a $10.75 monthly increase, while the increase would be $29.98 for a residential customer who uses 24 units of water. Hamilton pointed out that customers who have already made significant efforts to conserve water will have little means of avoiding a rise to their water bills. Those who have not made changes to their water use habits, however, can reduce the impact of a rate hike by getting serious about water conservation. Should more than half of the district’s customers oppose the hike, by law, the district cannot to implement the increase. Written protests must be received before the budget hearing on June 3.

Railroad construction accident triggers gas leak, evacuation
An accident caused by railroad repair led to a domino of utility damages and temporary evacuation on the morning of Tuesday, March 24. Shortly before 8 a.m. Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District responded to downed live wires at Calle Arena and Calle Ocho. A railroad boom working on the tracks had collided with the wire, pulling it down along with two power poles. The falling poles collided into a gas meter, which also caused a gas leak. The leak was audibly hissing, according to Mark Schrader of Seattle, who had been cycling through the Carpinteria State Beach campground. Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department officers went door-to-door ordering evacuations at residences, and a section of the state park was under evacuation. The evacuations were lifted at 9:20 a.m. when the gas line was turned off, according to CSFPD. The Gas Company and Southern California Edison reported to the scene to repair damaged utility and power lines.

“I came to Ojai for the day and immediately knew I wanted to live here,” record producer Bernie Larsen remarked. We were sitting in Larsen’s impressive home studio discussing his new compellation album, The Ojai Sessions, Volume 1. The recently released record spotlights 17 Ojai musicians performing original music. “I recorded each artist and played on their tracks unless they brought in a band. I wanted to capture the musical energy of this area right now,” he said. Larsen honed his musical skills as a professional sideman. He played rhythm guitar for six years in David Lindley’s band El Rayo-X, toured for three years with rocker Melissa Etheridge and supported alt-country vocalist Lucinda Williams. He moved to Ojai after co-writing, producing and playing on Rickie Lee Jones’s 2007 album “Sermon On Exposition Blvd.” Larsen had previously produced five singer/songwriter records while living in the Midwest. “I hung out at Ojai’s Deer Lodge and heard some really diverse music. I started making mental notes to do an album with local artists,” Larsen said. Musicians featured on The Ojai Sessions include expressive vocalist Hannah Jobus, surf-groove songwriter Todd Hannigan, jazz pianist/singer Kyle Swan, alt-folk rocker Dan Grimm, country-rock specialist Jonathan McEuen and 13 other artists including Larsen, who contributed “The Weight of Tears.” He describes his original as an “off center, stripped down version of a love song.” Larsen says there’s no trademark Ojai sound. “People joke about some bearded mountain men doing dark folksy, indy music. It’s not like that because music evolves. Everybody’s doing their own thing and not sitting still.” The compellation project was begun in 2013 and Larsen has enough material for a second Ojai album. “Once you’ve got the record done someone says, ‘Do you know Alan Thornhill? He’s amazing.’ You don’t want to miss people.” The Ojai Sessions, Volume 1 is available for purchase online at iTunes, CD Baby.com, and at Carpinteria’s Rincon Music (located at the Casitas Pass Shopping Center) and Ojai retailers In The Field and Nutmeg Ojai House.
Tuning a 12-string
The 12-string guitar has a bright, full sound that only six extra strings can bring. It’s particularly effective playing a fast sequence of chords like Richie Haven’s “Freedom” or Peter, Paul and Mary’s “Big Boat.” It makes folk songs burst with chromatic color. The electric
12-string gives rock progressions a jangly echo. Its distinct sound has accented the music of The Byrds and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The famous opening chord to The Beatles “A Hard Day’s Night” is played on an electric Rickenbacker 12-string. Tuning a 12-string is not as daunting as it seems. That’s because four of the guitar’s six root strings are tuned to the same note and the highest two are tuned in unison. With a 12-string guitar, all its strings can be tuned a half or a whole step up. Here’s how to tune either an acoustic or electric 12-string. 1st/2nd strings: The Low E is tuned in unison but thinner string is one octave higher. 3rd/4th: A string: tuned in unison but thinner string is one octave higher. 5th/6th: D string: tuned in unison but thinner string is one octave higher. 7th/8th: G string: tuned in unison but thinner one is an octave higher. 9th/10th: B string: Both strings tuned in unison. 11th/12th: High E string: Both strings tuned in unison.
Rock trivia quiz
Q: How did the band Three Dog Night come up with its name? A: American rock band Three Dog Night charted three No.1 Billboard Hits including “Mama Told Me Not To Come” (1970), “Joy To The World” (1971) and “Black and White” in (1972). The group was formed in Los Angeles in 1967 and first named Redwood. The seven-man band was built around lead vocalists Chuck Negron, Danny Hutton and Cory Wells. Hutton’s girlfriend/ go-go dancer/ actress June Fairchild is credited with suggesting the group’s new name. She read that Australian aborigines slept beside their domesticated dingos at night to keep warm. The night’s temperature was measured by number of dogs curled up beside them. A “three dog night” was a freezing one. Fairchild became known for her “Ajax Lady” role in Cheech and Chong’s 1978 movie “Up In Smoke.” The majority of the band’s 21 Billboard charted songs were written by outside writers including Harry Nielson, Laura Nyro, Randy Newman, Hoyt Axton and Paul Williams. Three Dog Night vocalists Danny Hutton and Cory Wells continue to tour together and singer Chuck Negron performs as a solo act. See markbrickley.com for Brickley’s music articles and photography.

Disturbances
Beachwalkers and a dog caused the seals to flee four times. Additional disturbances were caused twice by blufftop noise, and twice by oil industry activity on and near the pier.
Natural History Notes
Watching seals resting on the beach seldom allows the viewer to appreciate harbor seals’ high intelligence. One indication is their reaction to various disturbances—the greater the threat, the longer it takes most to return to ` the beach. The nonfiction book “Andre,” about an adopted East Coast harbor seal, describes a harbor seal’s quick learning and personality. The movie version of “Andre” substituted a sea lion, probably because sea lions are much more mobile on land. (Sea lions are what the public used to see performing in circus acts.)

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.

A reader sends a pitchfork to a local mechanic who did some minor work on the reader’s wife’s car. “When she picked up the car, paint was scratched off the bumper. After leaving two phone messages, she finally spoke to the owner who denied it happened at his shop. We are extremely disappointed in the lack of professionalism.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the coach who got ejected from a youth game. “From the stands, your actions seemed highly inappropriate. Time to grow up!” A reader sends a pitchfork to the local restaurant that has only one table to accommodate a wheelchair. “The table was taken, and we had to take our $100 lunch tab elsewhere.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the kid that crashed into the reader while riding his bike on the wrong side of the street. “Cyclists must follow the same rules as cars.”

GIANNFRANCO’S T R AT TO R I A
No stinking plates
A deputy spotted a vehicle exiting the freeway lacking a front license plate on March 12 at 1:31 a.m. Further examination revealed the vehicle was also without a rear plate. The deputy tracked the vehicle to an 8th Street residence, estimating from afar that the vehicle traveled at 35 mph in a 25 zone on the way there. By the time the officer illuminated his overheads, the driver, a 26-year-old man, had exited his vehicle and was walking toward the car. The officer inquired about the lack of visible registration, and the driver explained that it was a new truck and the registration was attached to the windshield. The officer told the man to go get the documents, but the man went into the truck and came back empty handed, again informing the deputy that the paperwork was adhered to the windshield. The officer took the man’s incompletion of the task as a sign that he wasn’t right, but given the same instruction again, the man returned with the paperwork for the officer to inspect. The officer asked the man where he was coming from, to which the man said a friend’s. So the officer followed up by asking how much alcohol the man had consumed. The man said one beer. The officer checked the man’s eyes and noticed they weren’t right before making the man complete a roadside examination. Then the officer had the man conduct a breath test, which yielded a .02, below the legal limit of .08. Still unconvinced that the man was fit to drive, the officer brought the man to the station for further evaluation. The officer measured the man’s heart rate in the 90s and his pupils dilated to four millimeters. Also, the driver estimated 30 seconds in what was actually 39 seconds. Under questioning, the man said he typically smoked marijuana daily to ease his anxiety. The officer arrested the man for suspicion of driving under the influence of a drug, marijuana, and for driving while addicted to a drug. The man’s vehicle was towed from the scene.
Green Crack
Deputies received a report that subjects associated with a truck were popping in and out of vehicles on 8th Street on March 18. When deputies found a truck matching the description, the driver, 32, said he was not involved with a pack of burglars rifling through vehicles. The deputy asked for the man’s consent to search him and found a sack with the label “Green Crack” on it. The man commented to the officer that it was “just a little marijuana,” but the officer had at his disposal a kit that could determine if any other substances were mixed into the “Green Crack.” The field drug testing kit showed that there was meth in the Green Crack. The deputy also discovered a meth pipe in the truck and that the driver’s license was suspended for DUI. Additionally, the registration was expired but current tags had been affixed to the truck illegally. The man was brought to jail for possession, among other vehicle code violations.

House and home
A man reported that a visitor entered his Linden Avenue home and gave him a rude awakening at 1:26 a.m. on March 15. When deputies arrived, the intruder was in the driveway, and the victim of the late night entry said he was startled by the sound of a person barging through his front door and met the man at the entryway before yelling for him to get out, which the intruder did. The intruder told deputies he was headed to the train station and wanted a lift to Santa Barbara. Deputies noted the man had no ticket and no money and no knowledge of when a train might come before determining the man was too drunk to be left on his own and giving him a ride to the jail in Santa Barbara.

Ageless wisdom?
Would I like to return to the age of 20? Would I again like to be quick at doing complex mathematical equations, be able to throw a softball from third to first and at least be able to stay awake until midnight? Of course I would, but only if I can keep the wisdom I’ve gained over my lifetime. After all, my astuteness has been hard earned, and I’m just beginning to appreciate the worldly understanding I’ve acquired—most of it far away from any classroom. So even if I could turn back the clock, I think I’ll pass—too much to lose. One problem, as I see it, with having so much acquired wisdom is that no one really wants to listen to my advice. My husband tends to only hear me when I agree with him. My sons think whatever I have to say is irrelevant to their world views. My friends just want me to be a good listener to their problems not a problem solver, and I’m not, at the present time, in therapy so I’m not paying anyone to take note of my perceptions. On the other hand, my grandsons are very tuned in to whatever I tell them, especially when I’m baking cookies, and I do talk to myself offering guidance and instruction so I can

Perhaps I should write a book, “Wisdom for the Ages” or “The Intelligent Life” or “Earned Insight.” I could share how great it is to give up the constraints of caring what strangers think about what you do or what I do for that matter. Or how the only great clothes in your closet are the comfortable ones. Or how smelling the roses could take an hour, an afternoon, a week or an entire vacation to Hawaii.

stone. Or how “be true to yourself” might involve an afternoon nap. The list is endless. This could be a very long book for a very small audience, as my grandsons don’t yet get an allowance. The topics I covered could range from problems with your love life to career choice to how to get along with your neighbors. This last one, I must admit, is not my strongest area of expertise as all our neighbors have been in the good to excellent categories. Also I might have to drop the love-life advice as no one, grandsons included, really listens to guidance regarding affairs of the heart, who to marry, who not to marry or who to let just be your friend. Maybe I should just use my wisdom to help me live a happy life for the years I have remaining. After all, the most important thing I’ve learned is that time is the one thing you never get back. I read this someplace, but it is only in the last few years that its meaning has really sunk in. We may have 30 years left to live or 30 weeks or 30 days, so I want spend this time with the people I love doing what I love. Sounds pretty good to me. Another thing I’ve learned is to speak up. I let people know if I like something, if I don’t like something or if I want

something changed. I don’t have to be obnoxious, but if I don’t express myself, the world around me will not respond. Also, it often surprises me what people will do for someone who reminds them of their grandmother. Next, we’re always told attitude is everything. A positive attitude about family, friends, school and job usually makes for a more positive life—duh! But I’m sorry, sometimes it takes attitude and a kick in the pants. Sugar coating problems usually leads to a sticky mess that then has to be cleaned up. Do what you need to do, add a smile if you can and plan for you next vacation. Slowly over the years it has dawned on me that there are few absolutes. Good people can have a little bad in them, and bad people can have a little good. There can also be a lot of gray area between what’s right and what’s wrong. And the older I get, the more I know, the more I realize there is an infinite amount of knowledge I don’t understand at all. Melinda Wittwer first moved to Carpinteria in 1972 and taught mostly junior high students in Oxnard during her 25-year career. Now retired, she enjoys pottery, writing, books and travel.

“Love Letters” to take Plaza stage
Academy Award winning actress Shirley Jones and her husband, comedian Marty Ingels, bring a bit of Broadway to the Plaza Playhouse Theater, 4916 Carpinteria Ave., when they appear in A.R. Gurney’s humorous and often touching play “Love Letters,” Friday, April 24 through Sunday, April 26. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m., and the Sunday matinee is at 3 p.m. Tickets, $45 per person, are on sale at the Plaza box office or at plazatheatercarpinteria.com. The play, which had a recent run in New York, centers on the reading of correspondence exchanged by two longtime friends—now in their twilight years—as they shared their life experiences over the decades from childhood through adulthood 4-4981and beyond. Jones was best known as the “mother hen” on the Partridge Family. She H ST married Ingels, a comedian, voice-over artist, writer and actor, in 1977.

Runners in the 10K find their stride down Palm Avenue just a few seconds into the race.
Race for education streams through Carpinteria Photos by Antony MArchiAndo

In total 450 runners traced Carpinteria streets and trails in the 10k, 5k and 1 mile fun run, and 70 went home with medals for leading performances in their age groups.

Move aside NCAA March Madness. Coastal View News has embarked on a month of competition to see which restaurants bring the sizzle to their ground beef patties and serve up the most sensational burgers. We’ve scoured Carpinteria Valley to find the restaurants that slide hamburgers between buns on customers’ plates and came up with 25 to compete in Burger Madness. Each week readers vote for their favorite spots, until on April 2, that original 25 will be whittled down to one champion. Reader votes this week will determine which restaurants move on to the Championship. Vote by clicking on the Burger Madness link at coastalview.com and read “How to Play” below for further details.
HOW TO PLAY 1. Visit coastalview.com and click on the Burger Madness link or pick up a Coastal View, fill out the form below. Return it to CVN by Tuesday, March 31 at 3 p.m. 2. Of the two restaurants, select your favorite burger. 3. Coastal View News will tabulate the votes and announce the champ next week. 4. Have fun and enjoy all of Carpinteria’s delicious burgers.

Representing Zookers Restaurant, cook Nicholas Rodriguez, left, and Rincon Brewery co-owner Shaun Crowley face off over their burgers while referee Wally Burquez ensures that the Burger Madness Finals are a fair fight. Reader votes at coastalview.com will determine which restaurant slings the most stupendous burger.
Burger Madness Finals cooking at fever pitch
From a field of 25 restaurants, two remain. Rincon Brewery and Zookers Restaurant have had the most Coastal View News readers give their vote of approval in online voting and newspaper balloting, catapulting the two finalists over fellow Final Four competitors Sly’s and The Spot. Remaining are Carpinteria’s newest spot for craft beer and pub fare and local fine dining fixture Zookers; may the best burger win. New kid on the block Rincon Brewery offers two variations on a burger, its heaping Rincon Burger that combines a stack of ingredients that zings every zone of the palate and is also sure to fill every cubic millimeter of the belly. The Rincon Burger starts with Pointed Hills grass fed ground beef and is stacked with a fried egg, jalapeño, bacon, onion strings, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and avocado on a brioche bun. An anaconda would have trouble getting its jaw around this tour de force. RB also offers its basic burger with cheese, a stripped down version where
the beef is more in the spotlight. Zookers, according to owner Jeanne Sykes, builds from the same philosophy when constructing its burgers as it does for all of its popular cuisine. It uses locally sourced, farm-to-table ingredients. Watkins Ranch fresh ground chuck is the foundation for this carefully sizzled burger that includes a healthy dose of lettuce, tomato, onion, sprouts, aioli and (don’t forget) the pickles. “It all starts with the ingredients,” Sykes said. Burger lovers long ago discovered the juicy gem among the restaurant’s wide ranging offering, and are known to heap it with grilled onions, mushrooms, bacon and cheese. In the last few weeks, Burger Madness has opened new eyes and won new fans for the palate-pleaser, and Sykes reports that burgers are flying off the grill these days. Reader polling at coastalview.com will determine which restaurant brings the best ground beef patty to plates in all of Carpinteria. Vote by 3 p.m. on Tuesday, March 31 to be a part of the madness!

Could have, should have, would have. How many times have we discounted a bad decision in life with this dismissive phrase? When the consequences of the decision aren’t serious, it’s a somewhat light acceptance of the fact that you really wish you would have made the alternative choice, but you didn’t, so be it. That’s a fine attitude if you sold all of some stock the day before it split and doubled in value. Or if you dumped your girlfriend for another lady only to find out that the new love interest is married with six children. But what if your longevity was at stake? What if, at age 50, you found out that you had coronary disease with a two-year survival prognosis and if you did just one simple thing, you could have added an additional 25 years, living to the ripe young age of 75? That one thing is exercise and the focus is on the heart. A recently published study has found that whatever your risk levels for heart problems — blood pressure, cholesterol, age —exercise matters. As stated in the March 16, 2015 issue of the Detroit Free Press, exercise in the form of cardiovascular conditioning leads to an increased longevity in all risk groups. In detail, the study findings were: 1. Better cardio health offered protection — a 50 percent reduction in the risk of dying early compared to those in poor cardiac health — for 58,818 patients whose medical data was examined as part of the Ford Exercise Testing Project, or FIT Project, a Henry Ford Hospital study. Researchers first compiled results from 18 years of treadmill stress tests, which measured how efficiently hearts transport blood and bodies use oxygen as patients walked progressively faster and at steeper inclines. Then they sifted in other risk factors for cardiovascular disease into the data — variables such as age, gender, cholesterol, race, systolic blood pressure, smoking, blood pressure medication use and diabetes. That, in turn, categorized the cases into low-, moderate- and high-risk patients. 2. Finally, researchers layered on the data mortality records. Findings: Across all three risk categories, those with better cardiorespiratory performance had a 50 percent reduction in risk of dying over those with poor cardio performance in that category, said Steven Keteyian, Henry Ford researcher and study coauthor.
3. Even a half-hour of exercise four times a week can make a significant difference in heart health, Keteyian said. This is exciting but not surprising news. I’m hoping that this will motivate many of you out there to consider starting a program right away because you can experience the healthful benefits no matter your age or ability level. Proof is with the many clients I’ve been able to affect and add years to their lives, according to their doctors. Nicole is a 52-year-old placement executive. When we met, she was 100 pounds over weight, diabetic, depressed and exhausted. She suffered from a variety of chronic intestinal issues that could not be diagnosed. She was obviously in a constant state of inflammation. After a year of continuous highintensity training with me, Nicole lost 50 pounds and was taken off her diabetes medication. Her irritable bowels were no longer irritable and the exercise became a great outlet for her stress. She no longer felt depressed and has taken up triathlons. I was in close communication with her doctors, who said that with the stabilization of her blood sugar and reduction in inflammation alone, she added 20 years to her life. Patrick is a 58-year-old cable splicer. He was 80 pounds overweight and suffered from high blood pressure. Same story here. Patrick lost all 80 excess pounds and was taken off of the blood pressure medications. Suddenly, a chronic rash he had for the past 20 years was gone. Back pain was gone. He felt better and started running marathons. According to Patrick’s doctors, he added 10 years to his life at the very least. Rich is a 64-year-old software salesman. He was 60 pounds overweight and a chronic drinker, smoker and anti-exercise champion. It wasn’t until prostate cancer and a subsequent heart attack that he decided he better follow his doctor’s advice to give up smoking and drinking and start exercising. Fifty pounds lighter and no longer a smoker, Rich looked so good, his wife asked him if he was having an affair. As far as I know, he wasn’t, but he did add 10 years and could add more if he found support for his excessive alcohol consumption. But we’re still working on that. Bottom line is that even at an advanced age, it’s never too late to start a program and increase your lifespan and improve your quality of life. Next month, I’ll tell you how to begin.

In deep
Warriors fill the lanes with strong, abundant swim roster BY PETER DUGRÉ
Carpinteria High School swim coach Matt Organista said the pool runneth over. The team’s greatest strength is in its numbers, a roster of 45, which will be an advantage when the Warriors meet up against Tri-Valley League opponents and score points by having multiple top flight performers in each event. “We have a lot of swimmers who are above average who can score us a lot of points,” Organista said. Between now and the TVL championships in May 5, the trick will be to figure out how to maximize the team’s point-scoring potential. In addition to freshmen swimmers who have built experience in the local youth program, several returners are already besting their times from last season. Senior Noah Reed turned in a victory in the 500 yard freestyle in the team’s opening meet against New Jewish Community Prep. Reed had suffered a dislocated shoulder at the end of basketball season, followed by an illness and had yet to practice consistently. The meet was one of his first swims of the year and he had already returned to last season’s form. His victory helped the Warrior boys to a 105-56 team win. On the girls side, junior Brenda Rodriguez will swim the 500 and is on pace to improve on last season’s times. Kelly Griffin and Kalen Sabean are also part of a core of female swimmers who beat JFCP 118-21 to open the season. Organista commented that Sabean is one of those puzzle pieces who can fit in anywhere to score for the Warriors. “She’s a stroke technician and can swim all events. Swimmers like that make it easy on a coach,” he said. On the boys team, Forrest Van Stein is similarly versatile. Other important pieces will be senior Sergio Cataneda, who already broke the elusive one-minute mark in the 100 freestyle, and freshmen Jordan Perez and Salvador Briceno. In the breast stroke, free style or back stroke, the team can rely on senior Chris Fedderson as a point machine. Team captain Sierra Garibay is personally focused and working on keeping the team focused. She already turned in a sub 30 second 50 freestyle and is among nine swimmers who have already swum CIF consideration times. Organista said the team must stay consistent in its training and continue to build while he figures out how to get all the pieces of the puzzle together. Quality is there for the sea of swimmers who

Joel Revo had three hits to go along with two RBIs. Dylan Ell had two hits in the game and drove in a run, and Duffy Montgomery was 2-of-3. Humza Khurshid pitched three innings without giving up a hit, and Maricopa had just one hit for the afternoon. Ell made his Cate pitching debut in an inning of relief, and James Chang and Djata Nyaawie also pitched. “It was a nice way to start off our season. Anytime we can pick up 13 hits and 11 runs in our first game it’s encouraging,” commented assistant coach Dave Soto.

Cate jumped out to an early lead after scoring on its first two possessions, just three minutes into the game. After a first quarter goal by Malibu to make it 2-1, Cate rattled off 11 unanswered goals. The attack trio of Brennen, Keller Mochel and Patrick Thomas proved to be too much for the Sharks defense. Mochel finished with four goals and two assists, while Thomas had one goal and four assists. Christian Burke had two goals and was a key contributor to Cate’s control of possession at the face-off. “We have plenty of work ahead of us, but it was great to start the season with a win over a rival,” commented coach Phillip Keebler.

This morning I awoke to my favorite sound, the sound of bird song. Every year, about this time, the birds start singing just before dawn, the official heralds of spring. Chris and I love watching them come to the birdbath, as they do by the dozens, taking turns as they splash about. Members of nature’s cleanup crew busy themselves searching for bugs and scratching about in the earth, bringing joy to any garden with their song and cheery presence. You don’t have to be an ornithologist to enjoy bird watching, but it does help to know their nesting, migratory habits and other needs if you want to entice them to your property. Quail and doves, for example, make nests on the ground. Leave some areas “un-gardened” so they can nest undisturbed. Brightly colored orioles, which arrive in Carpinteria from Mexico around the first of April, like to nest in palm trees (as do barn owls). The drought is as hard on birds as it is on us. If you want to attract birds to your garden, provide them with a source of water (this can be anything from a dish of water to a fountain or birdbath) and protection in the form of “natural areas” and, of course, no pesticides.
Nesting season
Nesting season for most birds begins about now and continues into August. Development reduces natural bird habitat, thus it is the home gardener who can help create a safe haven for nesting birds. This means a few things; allowing your trees to go untrimmed for a while. Look before you trim hedges and shrubs, and if there is evidence of nesting, leave it alone. Let things get a bit messy for now; the birds will thank you. The ubiquitous Mexican fan palm
Mexican fan palms, untrimmed and sporting their hula skirts, make great habitat for birds. (Washingtonia robusta), the palm that if allowed to go untrimmed gives the effect of a hula skirt, creates the best possible urban birdhouse. This bird condominium is packed with all types of birds including barn owls (great for controlling gophers and other varmints) and orioles. If you are lucky enough to have one of these palms, be brave and stop trimming off the dead fronds, the birds will thank you and so will I. Giving birds sanctuary is another way to bring joy to your life and to your garden. The rewards far outweigh the effort. If you take a moment right now, you’ll hear the birds singing for you. That is the payoff; splurge on it! Until next time, fill your garden with joy—and birds! Lisa Cullen Chris and Lisa Cullen, owners of Montecito Landscape, have been creating beautiful gardens for over 40 years. Listen to Garden Gossip radio show on AM1290 every Friday at 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. and Saturday at 11 a.m. Do you have a question about your garden?

Bridging the gap CHUCK GRAHAM
unpredictable wilderness I was running low on fluids on top of the Sierra Madre in the Los Padres National Forest. A highway of snail trails streaked my shirt, and salt had crusted in the corners of my eyes. Down to the last half of my last water bottle, I was fortunate there were still patches of snow leftover from the last storm less than a week ago. I scraped snow off the ground and stuffed as much as I could in whatever bottles and containers I had. I reached the Montgomery Potrero and began boiling water. Dumping my 60-pound pack, I then ran over to a spring I’ve used in the past, still just a slow drip after all these years, but someone had left a container to catch water. It was overflowing and I downed it. I placed the container back to catch more water, and I thought by morning it would be full again. The previous morning I had left the cabin at the South Fork of the Sisquoc River, where the runnel’s flow was steady. I took the Sweetwater Canyon Trail up to the Sierra Madre and connected with the Salisbury Potrero, where green meadows swept across the ridgeline amongst a cathedral of sandstone rock outcroppings. I could see my next mountain range to the north across the other side of the Cuyama Valley floor, the Caliente Mountains. After scraping that much-needed snow and several more miles of hiking, I pitched my tent beneath a lonely oak tree sprawling near The House of the Sun and the Rocky Ridge Trailhead. I ate and slept like a champ and rose before the sun came up above the Sierra Madre. Mule deer tiptoed across the dewy potreros and a red-tailed hawk soared over my tent. I chowed down some oats, mangos and bananas and then ran over to the spring with two empty water bottles. When I got there, I found the container had been knocked over by an animal in the night. No water. I had one bottle to make it to New Cuyama, about 15 miles away. I took the Rocky Ridge Trail that hasn’t been maintained for who knows how long, but it was the quickest, shortest route to town. It was muddy and rutted heavily by cows. There were a lot of trees down, and once I got to the bottom of the Lion Canyon Creek, I found myself on several occasions plowing through brush on all fours. The best of it was when I wandered into a tangled maze of wild rose stabbing me up and down my legs. After several more creek crossings, I was gratefully out of the quagmire of willows, wild rose and poison oak. Cloudy skies and a dry, desolate valley floor choked in tumbleweeds didn’t sound too inviting, but it was paradise for me. When I arrived just before dark along Highway 166, I loaded up on fluids at the only gas station in town. Then I broke down and went to the Cuyama Buckhorn for a room for the night. It was closed. They were in the middle of a remodel, but the owner had finished remodeling one room and gave it to me for the night. At dawn I began walking west on Highway 166. I had 13 miles to go and started hitchhiking to an old Bureau Land Management (BLM) trailhead that would eventually connect me with the Carrizo Plain National Monument. With 5 miles

From whence he came. Graham shoots the San Rafael Mountains as he trudges away. walking into the Carrizo Plain in the dark. The next day I ran around feeling light-footed and unimpeded, no heavy pack weighing me down as I discovered several kiss tanks at the base of the Calientes. Savannah sparrows and horned larks drank and bathed in them from atop sandstone monoliths overlooking the sweeping grasslands. I sat on one sandstone slab and counted at least 50 Tule elk browsing below. By late Saturday afternoon, I could hear my truck motoring up the dirt road to the Selby Campground. My wife, Lori, made the three-hour drive to pick me up. She was the best thing I’d seen over the last four days.
En route to the Carrizo Plain National Monument, Graham captures the surreal landscape of the Salisbury Potrero on the Sierra Madre Ridge. to go, I caught a lift to the trailhead. From there the trail runs for about 2 miles before vanishing. From there I picked my own route, traversing toward the Caliente Mountains ridgeline. Once I reached the crest, shafts of late afternoon light beamed down on the Carrizo Plain as storm clouds filled in over the last of California’s grasslands. As I descended down the backside of the Caliente range, I ran into four hunters looking for wild pigs, doves and quail. It was Friday night and hunting is allowed on the south side of the Caliente Mountains on Saturday. I was glad I was

DeFriezes go native in South America
Herb and Suzanne DeFriez toured the Amazon River basin and Machu Picchu for a week each at the end of January and beginning of February. The fascinating and elucidating trip embedded the couple in the simple and insulated life of Amazon peoples. Reflecting on the materially impoverished Amazonian lifestyle had the couple taking inventory of what’s truly important. There were no roads or electricity in villages of homes on stilts, yet children were still as happy as could be. The second week found the travelers high in the Andes at the wondrous archaeological site of Machu Picchu, a 15th Century Incan ruin situated at 7,970 feet in altitude. “The breathtaking sights a Machu Picchu put a cherry on top of the trip,” commented Herb.
CVN proves evolution
Globetrotter Amanda McIntyre introduced CVN to the Galapagos Islands and a mammoth of a land tortoise, just one of the many vertebrates that Charles Darwin discovered in 1831 when his ship, The Beagle, landed in search of meat for the crew. During Darwin’s fiveweek visit, he began to form his theory of natural selection. McIntyre viewed the rich flora and fauna of the pristine environment including courtship displays of the avian variety and dozens of other fascinating ecological spectacles.
