Chamber announces new leader
By the seat of his pants
CVN REPORT
After a nationwide search for a new President/Chief Executive Officer, the Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce announced this week that Joyce Donaldson would take the helm on June 1. Retiring President Lynda Lang has extended her last day to the end of May to ensure a smooth transition into new leadership. “We have been thorough in our deliberaSUBMITTED PHOTO tions throughout the Newly appointed selection process,” said Carpinteria Valley Tom Ligare, Chair of the Chamber of Commerce CEO Search Commit- President/CEO Joyce tee. “We are absolutely Donaldson most recently thrilled to welcome led the Indio Chamber of (Donaldson) to the Car- Commerce. pinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce.” Donaldson brings over 11 years of chamber leadership experience into her new role. For the last five years, she held the position of President and CEO of the Indio Chamber of Commerce in Indio, Calif., and prior to that, she served as executive director of the Romeo-Washington Chamber of Commerce in Romeo, Mich. for seven years. According to a press release, Donaldson has a proven history of enhancing operations, bolstering financial stability, increasing visibility and strengthening community and government relations. “I am eager to immerse myself into the Carpinteria community and am committed to expand the solid foundation that the current chamber leadership team has built,” said Donaldson. Donaldson holds an associate degree in applied science and has taken advantage of numerous educational opportunities to stay abreast of current chamber trends and best practices. She is a 2013 graduate of the U.S. Chamber Institute for Organization Management and 2012 graduate of the California Western Association of Chamber Executives Academy. In 2013 Donaldson guided the Indio Chamber team to achieve Four Star Accreditation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, placing the Indio Chamber in the top 3 percent of chambers nationwide. It is one of only 12 chambers of commerce in California to qualify. “I am eager to utilize my broad experience for the advancement, success, and prosperity of the business community. I am dedicated to securing the Carpinteria Valley Chamber as one of the top membership-based business organizations in California,” said Donaldson.
BILL SWING
Carpinteria High School baseball player Javier Jasso slid into second on his way to scoring a run in the third inning of an eventual Warrior 3-2 win over Malibu High School on May 12. Jasso, who went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, saved his best for last by knocking a walkoff single through the infield in the bottom of the seventh inning to score Ricky Medina from third base and gather the dramatic Tri-Valley League win for the Warriors.
Planning commission green lights Rincon Trail, senior living center City of Carpinteria Planning Commissioners on May 7 took steps to usher in a future in which Carpinterians can more easily walk or bicycle to Rincon Point and have a local option for seniors to live more comfortably. The commission approved conditional use permits for the Rincon Trail, a pathway including a bridge over the railroad tracks from Carpinteria Avenue to Rincon County Park and for an office building behind Albertsons on Carpinteria Avenue to convert to a 76-bed licensed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly known as Steadfast Senior Living. Steadfast Companies representative Waad Nadhir said the average age of occupants of the proposed home would be 75, and the company has similar facilities in Southern California. He said there’s a distinction between a nursing home and elderly care facility, and Steadfast does not provide the fulltime medical service associated with nursing homes. Steadfast takes care of laundry and busses residents to doctor’s appointments, among other things. “It’s almost like a resort,” he said. “The objective is to make it feel like home.”
Commissioners voted 3-1 to approve the project. Commissioner John Callender was the no vote. Callender took issue with the city’s application of Development Impact Fees on the project, estimated at $45,617, disagreeing with their appropriateness for a renovation project. The office building conversion would require structural demolition of unnecessary interior walls in order to construct 70 living units with private bathrooms throughout the two-story, 51,539 square foot building. One portion of the building, referred to in plans as the Memory Wing, would include 19 beds and have its own secured outdoor area. The remaining 57 beds would be in the assisted living area. Plans call for a reduction of parking spaces on the site from 187 to 176, which leaves still far more than the 80 required by the city for such a use. Planning documents state there will be 44 full time and 10 part time employees at the site.

Fire district faces life after Measure Z By Lea Boyd
The last votes have been counted in Carpinteria-Summerland Fire District’s Measure Z election, and the final results closely match the preliminary results: 54 percent in favor, 46 against. Support fell short of the two-thirds necessary to pass the $10.65 million bond measure to fund replacement fire stations in Summerland and Carpinteria. Fire Chief Mike Mingee said he was disappointed by the results but pleased that community members had the opportunity to decide. “Now that the voters have spoken, it is my hope that the District Board will not let this issue sit idle. The problems still exist and will only become worse over time,” he said. Replacement of the Summerland station, which is nearly a century old, is of greatest urgency, said fire board president Chris Johnson. The station is too small to hold necessary firefighting equipment and has been deemed seismically unsound. “The one thing that we definitely cannot do is sit by and let things go,” said Johnson. “Summerland station is a hazard and needs to be replaced.” The bond measure would have funded a new $5 million Summerland station, for which the district has already received Santa Barbara County permitting. Planned for the corner of Lillie Avenue and Temple Street, the two-story station would occupy property now owned by the Santa Barbara County Mosquito and Vector Control District, which is willing to sell to the fire district. A dearth of alternative properties and the concern that the Vector Control District may look elsewhere for a buyer has contributed to the sense of urgency for funding the Summerland station. When Johnson was elected to the
board in 2012, Summerland station plans were already years in the making. Boardmembers more involved in the lengthy process, Craig Price, Ben Miller and Lisa Guravitz, did not seek reelection last fall. At their final board meeting, they voted, along with Johnson, to bring the measure before voters. If passed, the measure would have raised property taxes by ad $10 per $100,000 of assessed home value. “We knew it was going to be tough,” said Johnson of the election. Summerlanders, who have argued vehemently for a new station in the heart of their little community, strongly favored the bond measure. There was less support from Carpinteria, where a $5 million remodeled station is considered less critical. With the bond election behind him, Johnson said he is enthused by the potential for a new solution that is embraced by the existing board. “It’s kind of an exciting opportunity. We have five individuals starting from scratch,” he said. Securing the site for a new Summerland station is a priority for Johnson. He said that the district likely has the funds to obtain a loan for the Vector Control District property, which was appraised at $1.2 million in 2010. Once the new station has a home, the district has said it would sell the property occupied by the existing station, which appraised at $900,000 in 2010. From there, boardmembers will have to get creative to come up with funding for the building. Options, Johnson said, include cutting personnel costs or consolidating with another agency, such as Santa Barbara County Fire Department.
“We’re SOLD on MurphyKing Real Estate!” Dear Mark, Reid and I thank you for the tremendous amount of work you put into the sale of our condo and the purchase of the replacement home. It all started with our trust in your ability and your years of experience in real estate. It also helped that your communication was constant along with your sense of humor! You made sure to explain and educate us during the 1031 exchange of which we knew very little of, other than it was going to save us thousands of dollars. Your generosity in helping us with our bid was another huge perk in selecting you as our realtor. Your personal interest and happiness in helping us achieve our dream was most sincere. We also can’t leave out that you made yourself available all hours of the day for questions, showing us properties or signing papers. We can’t thank you enough for your support and friendship during this adventure! Sincerely, Reid and Graciela Barnes

Sanitary district wins best in state
The Carpinteria Sanitary District received the prestigious statewide California Water environment Association “Collection System of the Year” award for 2014 in the small system category. The award, conferred on May 1 at the CWeA Annual Conference in San Diego, recognizes the district for its outstanding performance, innovative practices, cost effectiveness and superior system operations. The district prevailed over other regional award winning agencies from throughout California that own and operate less than 250 miles of sewer pipeline. Receiving the award, District General Manager Craig Murray commented, “Over the past several years the District has focused on every aspect of our sewer collection system, from condition assessment to system rehabilitation to enhanced maintenance and customer service. We are fortunate to have an amazing team of qualified and dedicated wastewater professionals who work hard each day to protect public health and the environment. Matt Oliver, the District’s Collection System Supervisor, and his crew are absolutely deserving of this recognition.” The district recently completed a number of significant capital projects geared toward improving the performance of its network of 45 miles of sewer pipelines and eight pumping stations that convey wastewater from the community to the wastewater treatment facility. Completion of the Rincon Point Septic to Sewer Conversion Project in 2014, after 15 years of continuous effort, was a key accomplishment noted by the review panel.
Gas Co. activity continues
After excavating an area near the entrance to Concha Loma, Southern California Gas Company has temporarily restored the street with steel plates and reopened it to traffic while pipeline pressure is reduced in order to allow maintenance to continue. The steel plates will remain in place until June 11, at which point workers will resume traffic control for partial street closure. Additionally, Gas Company activity can be seen at the Venoco property at Dump Road and Carpinteria Avenue, where a staging site is being set up for pipeline pressure testing. To find out more, contact Tim Mahoney at 681-7930.

offensive lyrics provide life lessons
I feel the need to thank Erik Hansen for his Viewpoint, “Teacher Left Powerless” (Coastal View News, May 7). Erik’s wife is a teacher, and he grew concerned when she discovered her high school students had written and produced music that celebrated rape, murder, racism and named her and others in the lyrics. To Mrs. Hansen, my deepest apologies for the way you were treated by the students involved and the school administration. Many of my friends are teachers in Carpinteria, and this is not the first time the administration has had no plan. To the administration, first, you call the parents and get them involved. Second, no teacher should ever be in a position to feel afraid in her/his workplace or feel unsupported. I am not sure why you felt you needed to consult attorneys before handling this, but here is an issue you can ask them about: ignoring, therefore encouraging, a hostile workplace. That is a lawsuit waiting to happen. To the students, you are blessed to have a teacher who not only cares about your GPA but also your character. I am sure you are sorry and have learned an important life lesson. Every day you will decide, either passively or thoughtfully, what your values are, and you will live that day accordingly. And if you have parents or friends who have made excuses for you or minimized your behavior, then find better role models. No word goes forth empty. Every day you must choose how you will live your life that day. Words and thoughts become tangible when shared with another. They are carried with us. Even at great distances words bring companionship, comfort, joy, encouragement, love, support, laughter, welcome and farewell. They can also bring pain, hurt, hate and ugliness. The things we say matter. Every word, every day you must choose.

a beautiful orchid in a small vase to pin on my sweater and wished me a happy Mother’s Day. I was, needless to say, overwhelmed by your gesture of thoughtfulness. I am sure in doing so you were honoring your mother who perhaps is no longer with you. But equally important is the lesson you imparted on a girl, whom I assumed was your teenaged daughter, that was with you. I am certain that when she is ready for a life partner she will know what to look for in a man. Your random act of kindness made my Mother’s Day complete. Thank you.

Homeless problem needs solution
Regarding the homeless situation: any thought to moving or removing the recycling center in town? What are the stats on the number of people who have scheduled recycling pickup versus the number who actually use the recycling facility for their cans and bottles? Countless times I’ve seen homeless cash in their recycling tickets at Albertsons only to purchase alcohol. Is that helping anything? I live in town, on a side street, and see homeless dumpster diving into bins behind businesses as well as rooting through any recycling containers they pass by, including mine. Not to mention those who just walk along the main sidewalks in town and go through the garbage cans in plain sight. What about the paper that’s also put in our recycling containers, which may contain junk mail and solicitations with personal information on it? I’ve contacted the police and EJ Harrison & Sons, and it appears there’s not much I can do. So in the end, I’m paying for recycling pickup, but it is being pilfered. I understand the desire to help, but enabling homeless to continue bad habits is not helping them or our community.

Teacher disappoints by taking the private public By Delfina Hall Carpinteria HigH SCHool StuDent
A Viewpoint published in Coastal View News on May 7 (“Teacher left powerless”) contained unfounded statements. The author alleged a song written by a Carpinteria High School musical group left his wife, a teacher, feeling “powerless.” I am an affiliate of the musical group and a CHS student. The teacher discovered a rap song written by the group, which mentioned her name in a non-threatening way. After she pressured school officials for punishment, the school told her they needed to investigate first. She was unsatisfied when the administration couldn’t take action because the song was made off campus. Meanwhile, the teacher turned to the Title IX coordinator to permit her absence from school; however, it was not a sexual discrimination issue. After the outright falsification in this article, it became clear it was a dramatized-yet-direct attack on CHS. She publicized a confidential case including false information to denigrate the school and group. The claims that the rap group had celebrated gang rape, mentioned a former student and had been producing music on campus could not be further from the truth. The allegation that no action was taken against the students and that she had no support from the administration is erroneous and could harm CHS’s reputation. The administration of CHS has earned the community’s respect through its hard work, honorability and fairness. Administration called a meeting of 19 teachers, students, parents and administrators on April 24. It was an opportunity for everyone involved to learn from this experience. The teacher’s husband wrote, “...the students didn’t grasp the weight of their words until confronted.” Our group had shown remorse prior to staff becoming aware of the lyrics and deleted them. According to the letter, the administration “reproduced part of the problem by causing a female teacher to stand powerless before the students who created the
The allegation that no action was taken against the students and that she had no support from the administration is erroneous and could harm CHS’s reputation. The administration of CHS has earned the community’s respect through its hard work, honorability and fairness. music, instead of empowering her to have an honest conversation with the students about why it was wrong.” This teacher is an authority figure at the high school, which makes it difficult to relate to her feeling of powerlessness when students see her as a powerful figure. Contrary to her husband’s statement, she received an honest apology, which she accepted. The letter said the meeting went “well” but she remained unimpressed that no serious consequence occurred. No action could be taken because no school rules were broken. The administration succeeded in educating us through our mistakes instead of solely enforcing penalization. Through apology and realization of the effects of our words, the group had learned from the mistake. All students involved had gained a newfound respect for this teacher, until she made the decision to publicize her side of this private matter. It remains shocking that she could publicize an intimate case attempting to defame her workplace. Reconciling each other’s differences is essential for a healthy loving community, but broadcasted attacks impair peacemaking.

for the record The reader-submitted article “Teacher left powerless” published on May 7 misstated that offensive songs by students were written and produced on the Carpinteria High School campus.

Carpinteria educators bite into Crystal Apple Awards
Six Crystal Apple Awards will be given to educators from among all the South County schools on May 21, and three of them will be received by employees of Carpinteria Unified School District. Canalino Principal Jamie Persoon, Carpinteria Family School teacher Jan Silk and Aliso School office coordinator Cindy Husted have been selected for the award, which comes with a plaque and a $500 classroom stipend. Sponsored by Venoco Inc., the Crystal Apple Educator Awards are a program of the Santa Barbara County Education Office. “Venoco is proud to acknowledge the exceptional accomplishments of this year ’s Crystal Apple honorees,” said Marybeth Carty, community partnership manager for Venoco. “This peer nominated award allows us to recognize the best of the best, and express our thanks for the daily dedication and faith our local educators apply to the supremely important task of helping our children thrive.” Jeff Chancer, CUSD interim superintendent, said, “(Persoon), (Silk) and (Husted) are a true reflection of the excellent service and leadership that is provided every day throughout our District. We are all extremely proud that SBCEO has chosen to honor these three incredible educators.”
Persoon taught on the Canalino School campus for many years before being hired as principal in 2013. She said that the award recognizes the accomplishments of the staff, students and families of Canalino to transform the school over the last two years. “The collective positive energy that the team generates on behalf of the students has brought new life to the school, infectious enthusiasm and renewed focus on the development of the whole child,” she said. “While the award has my name on it, I am representative of a large group of folks working hard day in and day out to provide a positive school experience for all kids.” The Family School welcomed Silk to its staff in its infancy 10 years ago. Principal Leslie Gravitz said that Silk has worked hard to obtain grant funding to connect her students to the local and world communities and to prepare them to be leaders. “Jan Silk is one of the most inspiring, caring educators I have ever known,” Gravitz said. “She changes children’s lives each year with her creativity, sensitivity to each child’s uniqueness, connection to families, and by supporting high standards for students’ academic growth.” Husted, a warm and welcoming fixture in the Aliso School office, is described

outgoing personality and bright smile. He was easy to get along with and always pushed to keep going. He loved to go with all his buddies every Sunday to race his rc cars and during the week you could find him up on the bluffs flying planes. Bill has been on a rough journey battling cancer working with some of the best doctors from Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital to LA USC Noris Cancer and now sadly but happily can be relieved from all the pain/treatments. Through all the struggle, Bill never lost faith and continued to laugh, smile and show off his love for his grandson. During the end of his treatments, Bill would drive hours on his own in his speedy racecar, “The Bullet Mustang,” to get his treatment but never once complained, he showed us all he’s not going to give up. He is predeceased by his father, David Levinson. He is survived by his beautiful mother Jacqueline Justman, siblings Jonathan and Jennifer Justman, children Josh Levinson, William C. Levinson and Helena Levinson, grandson Adrian Levinson, buddies George Jimenez, Ed Weber, Vicki Shields, Susie Jones, Cyndi Macias, the RC car community, all his flying airplane buddies and many dear friends all over. A memorial will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2015 at 10 a.m. at Upper Rincon Beach as he wanted us to remember him by. We will paddle out and gather on the beach sharing all the great memories, holding hands while spreading his ashes and letting him know he will never be forgotten—for he will not have to suffer anymore. Such a great man, Heaven has gained another angel. “Love you, Daddy. For now we are all pretending this is just a dream. You are OUR HERO! With love, your kids.”

Battling cancer for over 11 years, on April 14, 2015, William Glen Levinson also known as “Bronco Bill” passed peacefully surrounded by his loved ones at his home. Born in Los Angeles, Calif., Bill moved to Malibu for his love of the ocean and surf, finally residing in Carpinteria, Calif. to live the life of a real surfer and raise a family. Bill had a passion for surfing and was pretty darn good at it. Everywhere he went he touched people’s lives with his
dogs and cats). She was a talented potter and watercolor painter. Diane was a loving, generous and kind-hearted person. She loved her friends, family and most of all, her husband, Ahmed.

It was a long and tough battle, and Diane faced it with incredible resolve, courage and dignity. She is now at peace and rest. Diane was preceded in death by her sister Caryn and her parents Robert and Laverne. She is survived by her husband, Ahmed; her sister Cathy (Darrow); her brother David (Alice), her aunts Marilyn (Paul) and Janice, and her brother-in-law Abe Jahadhmy.

It is sad to announce the passing of Mary L. Sutton on Mother’s Day, May 10, shortly after visiting with her son, daughter and son-in-law. Mary was born June 13, 1932, in Portageville, Mo., and grew up in Mount Clemens, Mich., where she graduated high school. In 1951, she married Leonard Tompkins and moved to Bloomington, Ind., where they both enrolled at Indiana University. Shortly after graduating college, she and Leonard moved to Santa Barbara, where she began her career as a teacher at Santa Barbara High School.

It’s a Gift That Gives Both Ways Consider a Gift Annuity BOYD
David Morgan, a biologist with the California Department of Food and Agriculture, releases hundreds of tiny wasps that should curb the spread of a devastating citrus disease throughout Southern California.
State deploys wasp to protect local citrus
Carpinterians with backyard orange and lemon trees can thank the California Department of Food and Agriculture for a citrus-saving visit on May 8. Biologists released hundreds of tiny wasps that prey on the disease-spreading Asian citrus psyllid, an insect that has caused widespread damage to Florida’s citrus production and has been making appearances in Southern California since 2008. The tiny psyllid spreads huanglongbing (HLB) disease, which is fatal to citrus trees and has no cure. Diseased trees produce lopsided, bitter fruit and eventually die. In Carpinteria, about 800 of the wasps, Tanarixia radiata, were released in a lemon tree on Hales Lane where the psyllid had been detected. Biologists treat approxi-
mately one citrus tree per square mile, after which the small wasps should disperse themselves to other trees throughout the area in search of their prey. The Tanarixia, like the psyllid, is native to Asia. Extensive research was conducted before it was cleared for release as a biological control agent. According to CDFA biologist David Morgan, the tiny insect does not eat native psyllids or carry disease. When pest populations decline, the specialized predator population drops in response. Carpinteria is considered a high-risk zone for the Asian citrus psyllid. Various factors go into that designation, Morgan said, such as frequency of psyllid finds during monitoring efforts, climate and the roadway system.
In lovInG mEmorY oF
miguel rocha Jr. 1982-2008
Because pesticides have been found to be more efficient for treating commercial citrus, the Tanarixia are used exclusively on urban citrus trees. Morgan said there are twice as many backyard citrus trees in the state as those grown commercially. The trees are important to people; thus the large-scale effort to protect them. The release of biological control agents to combat the spread of HLB is happening throughout Southern California. Morgan said that 350,000 of Tanarixia are being released as part of the effort. Another treatment should take place in about three months. ––Lea Boyd

Halos Pitchforks
&
A reader sends a halo to Jill Bailard. “Sometimes it is just the smallest of gestures in life that make the biggest difference. Thank you.” A reader sends a halo to Harry Manuras for removing and relocating “the pooping possum,” humanely, from her kitchen drawers, which he mistakenly thought was his real estate. “Harry, you are my hero!” A reader sends a halo to George on Palmetto Way who found the reader’s wallet and went out of his way to return it, intact. “Thank you, George.” A reader sends a halo to Parents for Aliso and all of the parents who generously gave gifts, flowers, coffee, lunch, gift certificates and love to the teachers at Aliso School. “We are very grateful for your generosity and acts of appreciation. Aliso parents are the best. Thank you!” A reader sends a halo to Roberto at Carpinteria Valley Lumber. “He’s a master with the big saws. Thanks for the super customer service.” A reader sends a halo to Lori Lee Collins for her tireless work keeping so many of our young cyclists safe on the streets. “Your passion and enthusiasm are such a gift to all of us.” A reader sends a halo to the Legoland condos for their very nice new paint job. A reader sends a halo to Britney Spears for dining at a local Italian restaurant. “You are so polite and nice.” A reader sends a halo to Mia at Ohana Toy Co. for being so loving and kind to the reader’s son when they were birthday shopping for his brother. “Thanks for treating Carpinterians like your Ohana!” A reader sends a pitchfork to the mountain bikers on the Franklin Trail who don’t know how to ride their bikes. “It’s a no-skid trail. That means you have to be able to go through the corners without gouging deep grooves in the trail.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the guy who drives a white pickup for playing incredibly loud music near the reader’s church. “I was walking my dog and he scared us both.” A reader sends a pitchfork to a store where he bought a pair of reading glasses for $35 and was credited just $14 upon return. A reader sends a pitchfork to the person responsible for displaying the American flag backwards on the green street lampposts along Linden Ave. “The blue field with stars should be on the side of the street and the stripes on the side of the sidewalk.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the people who save parking spots by the beach on Linden Avenue by standing in them—especially the woman in the hat on Mother’s Day. “Public parking spots cannot be saved.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the city for ignoring the huge pile of sand spilling over the wall onto the sidewalk and street at the end of Linden Avenue. “So much for the projected $310,000 budget surplus if it doesn’t provide us with the funds to shovel it back.” A reader sends a pitchfork to man who always parks his massive truck on Linden Avenue way over the 90-minute period.

What’s new at the harbor seal rookery? WANDA EMBAR
The following counts taken from May 4-10 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
302
High Pup Count
Most pups were born early and are now difficult to distinguish from adults.
Over 817 people came to view the seals. Volunteers spoke with visitors from Italy, Canada, Australia, Illinois, Texas, North Carolina, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Georgia, Maine and many locations in California. Seal watchers also spotted many dolphins, humpback whales breaching, gray whales and their calves. Sea lions continue to share the beach with the harbor seals. A large garter snake was spotted in the viewing area.
Disturbances
This week birds, jet skis, motorboat and beach walkers caused disturbances. One beach walker ignored the volunteer, took a selfie and scared over 200 seals in the water.
Natural History Notes
Volunteers are beginning to see mating behaviors. Male harbor seals become sexually mature when they reach a weight of about 165 pounds, or an age of about three to seven years. For females, it’s about 110 pounds and three to six years. Mating may take place a few weeks after a female gives birth. Males chase females, exhibit neck and flipper biting and embracing; there may be a lot of pair rolling and chasing in the water.
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 sealwatch@hotmail.com if you are interested in volunteering.

living the green life
ERIN MAKER I spend a lot of time along the ocean, and walks on the sand often leave me with sticky balls of tar on my feet. If you live locally and spend time at the beach, you probably have noticed that sometimes there are more noticeable patches of tar than others. At times, especially when the water and air temperatures are higher, the smell can be fairly strong. Oil is a large part of our daily lives. If you live in our modern society, drive a car, own a computer or phone, or really anything plastic, you rely on it. It is in your surfboard, was used to make your clothes and transport your food, and might even be in your shampoo and dish soap. And while the process of drilling is something we as humans have facilitated, there are also natural seeps in some geologic formations, including ones like the Monterey formation found locally. I remember reading that just before the earthquake in 1925, people who lived along the bluffs in Santa Barbara woke up to the strong smell of crude oil from that formation. Oil spills and natural seeps are quite different. One is an accident that releases large amounts of a concentrated substance into the environment, while most naturally occurring seeps are old and flow extremely slowly. Walk down to Tar Pits Park any day and you can see just how slowly. Even though they could be considered toxic, because they flow slowly the organisms in the surrounding area have adapted to them, some to the point that they actually use the hydrocarbons as a source of energy. There are also microbes that live deep underwater that degrade the oils before they reach the surface. Seeps, which include both oil and gas, occur both on land and in the ocean. The tar seep at Tar Pits Park is made up of hydrocarbons similar to the ones that exist in the ocean. It is thought that as much as one half of the oil and gas that enters the coastal environment comes from naturally occurring seeps, but even though they have been around for a long time they are relatively unstudied. What is known is that this geologic feature occurs in clusters all over the world, which is why locally we see tar along the beaches and in some neighborhoods, and oil slicks on the surface of the water. If there is one tar or oil seep there are usually many coming from the geologic formation. It is no surprise that we have so many seeps in the area, since the Monterey formation is one of the primary sources of oil in our area. If there are so many naturally occurring seeps, and they release so much into the environment, then why are oil spills so bad? That answer lies in how they enter the environment. The slow seeps degrade over time and are not concen-

trated enough to do large-scale damage. Currently scientists are studying seeps to understand the effect of hydrocarbons on the environment in hopes of using that information to address oil spills and help the environment recover from those disasters. The natural seeps in our area aren’t going to harm the local environment, but the human impact, our reliance on oil, could. I drive a car and own lots of things that are made using oil. But I also try to be responsible and know where my things come from. Reusing things, and not over consuming, will help reduce how we affect the environment in the long term.

Kastagna appointed to California Council on Science and Technology
Over 100 sixth-grade students competed in Ancient Olympic competitions on Friday, May 8, for Carpinteria Middle School’s fun and educational Goofy Greek Games. The games included: javelin, shot put, discus, standing and running long jump, boxing, boys and girls marathon, wrestling and arm wrestling. Victors will not have to pay taxes for their lifetime and were crowned with laurel wreaths. Students have been studying Ancient Greece and completed an argumentative essay on whether they would like to grow up in Athens or Sparta. A delicious Greek feast concluded the enjoyable family event.
Carpinteria middle school teacher Kim Castagna has been appointed to the California teacher Advisory Council (CaltAC), a program of the California Council on Science and Technology. She is one of five new CalTAC members selected in 2015 and has over 30 years experience as a math, science and computer teacher. “We are pleased to welcome our new CalTAC members, each of whom represents the best that California’s classrooms have to offer,” said Susan Hackwood, CCST Executive Director. Comprised of a carefully selected group of award winning, highly accomplished teachers from across the state, CalTAC is working in the areas of STEM education policy, practice and research through strategic partnerships. CaltAC’s overarching goal is to strengthen the capacity of California’s teacher workforce and to increased K-14 students’ academic success in STEM disciplines.

Students in Carpinteria High School’s Agriculture Science and Technology Academy attended 26 Hours at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
CHS ag students hit Cal Poly
students in the Agriculture science and technology Academy at Carpinteria high School were invited to 26 Hours at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in March where they were immersed in the program. Cal poly student leaders and university professors directed the program, which included applied laboratory workshops, financial advisement for college and various other events that allow students to experience student life at Cal Poly. The laboratory workshops included such topics as crop science, interviewing skills, chemistry, embryo transfer and manipulation, propagation of plants (environmental horticulture), dynamic modeling (ag engineering), soil science, dairy science and food technology. All of the students enjoyed the experience and learned a lot. Freshman Cassandra Quintero said, “By participating in the different workshops it helped open my eyes to all the different aspects in agriculture. i really enjoyed all the different activities we did, and also how we had a student seminar where everyone who participated got to ask all the students questions.”
Meteorologist Meredith Garfalo spoke to Claudia Juarez’ and Kara Sundell’s first grade classes to expand on their science unit about weather. Garfalo talked about what her job entails and her educational background and discussed many weather concepts such as the water cycle and cloud types. She answered questions from the students and asked them to write their own forecast and go outside to check to see if their prediction was correct. The following day she showed the classroom photo on the morning weather segment and said hello to all the “future forecasters at Aliso school” on air.

The stories behind famous artworks are the stuff of bestsellers and blockbusters. In Carpinteria Valley, the stories behind hundreds of local artworks can be told from the mouths of their makers during the annual Artists Studio Tour. The 2015 self-led tour took place throughout Carpinteria and Summerland last weekend, and hundreds of tour goers followed the dots on the map to visit any number of the 33 stops. A portion of each art piece sold benefits programs of the Carpinteria Arts Center. Photographer Antony Marchiando made his way through several studios to bring local artists and their unique creations to the pages of CVN.
Above, Whitney Abbott holds son Forrest McTigue as visitors stream in and out of her art studio. At left, carpinterian Jayne burton sits by her acrylic paintings. The artist started painting four and a half years ago.
Santa barbara resident romy reicker showed her jewelry as well as other art forms during the tour. reicker is originally from Germany, has been drawing her entire life and enjoys working with various art media.
Sally Van der Kar admires Whitney Abbott’s oil paintings in her studio. Abbott’s paintings are inspired by rural life, with subjects ranging from landscapes to farming equipment. Abbott, daughter of acclaimed local artist Meredith brooks Abbott, has been a serious painter for 25 years.

Spring peas
from provence to the pacific
There are a few vegetables that are truly harbingers of a season; persimmons: autumn, figs: summer and fava beans, peas and cherries: spring. These fruits and vegetables are veritable proof that we do indeed have seasons here on the central coast, even if it feels as though we skip winter altogether. With our wonky weather and crops ripening earlier than usual, I try to take advantage of these delicious treats when I can. Here are two tasty spring salads that showcase some of our local farmers’ best produce.
PASCALE BEALE
Cherry, pea and fava bean salad
Haricots verts salad
The fava beans and cherry seasons overlap for about four weeks, which doesn’t give you much time to make this salad. You see the cherries but not the fava beans, then the beans but not the cherries. However, when you do get both of them together, they are magical. This salad is the essence of spring.
This is another one of those classic French salads. Every time my grandmother or my mother made a roasted leg of lamb, she would serve this alongside. I love the slight bite of the shallots and mustard vinaigrette with the dainty haricots verts.

BILL AND ROSANA SWING PHOTOS
Annalisa DeAlba took third place in the shot put and fourth in the discus at Tri-Valley League Championship. Her personal record setting discus throw qualified her for an at-large entry in the CIF Prelims.
TVL track championship produces many CHS qualifiers Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium saw top TriValley League athletes duke it out for league championships and CIF qualifications on May 7, and Warrior distance runner Mikayla Keefer outpaced the competition in the 1600 meters (5:32.89) to earn a gold medal. Keefer, who has owned the distance running competition all season, placed second in the 3200m (18.56). “(Keefer’s championship) was no surprise. She continued her steady performance,” commented coach Van Latham. Combined Warrior athletes in the junior varsity and varsity won the grand sweeps scoring 328 total points. In all, 13 Warriors who finished in the top three in their events will advance to CIF Division 4 Prelims starting
at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 16, at Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium. “We had a great team effort at the TVL Finals. All four teams (varsity and junior varsity) competed well. We scored more points in the finals than some of the teams we lost to during the dual meet season,” commented Latham. The varsity boys had lost to Fillmore in the regular season but outperformed them at the championship. The girls had lost to Nordhoff but overtook them when it mattered most. Latham attributed a spike in the number of Warrior qualifiers to CIF partially to Oaks Christian and Oak Park no longer being part of Tri-Valley League.

Baseball
Carpinteria High School
May 6 – Warrior baseball lost 4-0 against Tri-Valley League top dog St. Bonaventure High School in Ventura. The Seraphs used strong pitching, good defense and timely hitting to outdo the Warriors, according to coach Pat Cooney. Warrior pitcher Diego Contreras suffered the loss after limiting the potent Seraph attack. The Warrior offense stranded 10 base runners and left the bases loaded in the third and seventh innings. Javier Jasso reached base 3-of-4 plate appearances. “Nick Walker hit the ball well all three times he batted,” according to Cooney, but settled for one hit; and Jorge Arroyo picked up a hit and a sacrifice. “It was a tidy high school game. I thought the team played well enough to win. Contreras did his job limiting the offense, our defense turned two nice double plays to end rallies, and we applied pressure on offense. We were a timely hit or two away from really changing the game,” Cooney stated. May 7 – Warrior baseball nearly defended its home field against Tri-Valley League leading St. Bonaventure but fell 11-9. St. Bonny improved to 10-0 in league play by scoring two runs in the top of the seventh inning to break a 9-9 tie. The Seraphs jumped out to an early 8-2 lead as the potent lineup got to Warrior starting pitcher Sal Delgado. The Warriors scored two in the fourth inning when Ricky Medina’s two-out double drove in Malcolm Gordon and Nick Walker. The Seraph lead was trimmed to one in the fifth when Gordon’s three-run homer off reliever Robert Bravo cleared the fence. The Seraphs added a run in the sixth to make it 9-7, but the Warriors tied the game on Jose Carrillo’s one-out ground rule double that drove in Medina and Jonah Spach. Ultimately, the Seraphs pushed across two in the top of the seventh, which proved to be enough as the Warriors did not score again. Gordon led the offense going 3-for-4 with three RBI and three runs. Medina picked up two hits off the bench, scored and had two RBI. Spach and Walker each had two hits and scored a run. David Martinez gave the Warriors a chance with his relief appearance over the last 4 1/3 innings. “The game was quite an adventure. Early struggles, plenty of controversy, an exciting come back, some inspired play and it ended in frustration. Unfortunately, we never quite got over the hump and they escaped with the win,” commented Warrior coach Pat Cooney.
Tennis
May 6 – Warrior boys tennis finished its season with a 14-4 non-league loss to Laguna Blanca. The team shifted its lineup in an attempt to gain some advantages, but the plan did not work as expected. Singles players were swept by Laguna Blanca. In doubles, Jonathan Cleek/Bryan Taira swept their three sets. “They played well against three strong Owl teams,” commented coach Charles Bryant. Jacob Ascencio/ Sam Truax won the last point for the Warriors. The Warriors finished the season 9-11 overall and 2-6 in TVL.
Boys volleyball
May 5 – Warrior boys volleyball traveled to the hostile confines of Bishop Diego High School and defeated the Cardinals 3-2 (22-25, 25-23, 22-25, 28-26, 17-5) for the second time. Looking for revenge, the Cardinals started strong, but key substitutions changed the dynamics of the match and had the Warriors back in the driver’s seat. Mason Picerni contributed 15 kills and six blocks. Outside hitter Victor Saldaña made an unbelievable lunging kick save in the final set to bring the ball back in for a point and contribute to the slim victory. “It was a shift of energy and there was no stopping us then,” commented coach Dino Garcia. Saldana had 16 kills. Victor Garcia had 21 digs, and setter Jose Angeles dished out 28 assists. May 6 – Warrior boys volleyball traveled to Malibu High School and picked up a 3-0 victory (25-10, 25-13, 25-10). Coach Dino Garcia attributed the team’s strong play to riding its energy from a thriller against Bishop to continue firing in the follow-up match. The Warriors ended Tri-Valley League play with an 11-1 record and were 12-2 overall.
Baseball
Cate School
May 6 – Cate baseball suffered its third straight loss at the hands of Fillmore High School. With some players gone due to AP testing and injury, the Rams battled to keep up with first place Fillmore, but the Flashes flexed their muscle to the tune of an 11-0 win. The Ram offense struggled against Fillmore’s hard throwing lefty. The Rams had good scoring chances throughout the game, but just couldn’t find the big hit when they needed it. Dean Smith and Duffy Montgomery both had hits for the Rams on the contest, with Smith hitting a hard double to right field. Humza Khurshid threw a lot of strikes, and Fillmore’s bats found some gaps. Smith came in to relieve Khurshid with James Chang finishing off the ballgame for Cate. “The final score looks lopsided, but it felt much closer. It was a 3-0 ballgame through four innings, and we had runners in scoring position in two of the first four innings,” commented coach Dave Soto.

Bryan Taira and Jonathan Cleek paired up for a third-place Tri-Valley League finish in doubles tennis at Thacher School on May 7. The pair was seeded fourth at the league tourney and defeated fifth seed Khoi Prakasim and Matt Narady of Malibu High School 6-2, 7-5 to advance to the semifinals. They fell to Cate’s top seeded squad Michael Nettesheim/Christian Herman 6-2, 6-1 in the semifinals. “I thought we came out of the gate and played them tough. There were many long games with a lot of back and forth action,” commented Warrior coach Charles Bryant. The match started with Taira/Cleek

playing close at 3-2 but Nettesheim/Herman were able to rattle off three straight games to close out the first set. “I tried to have our boys slow it down in the last few games just to break their momentum, but the Cate boys were too tough,” commented Bryant. The Warriors were awarded third place by forfeit, because the Malibu High School squad did not show up for the third-place match. The Cate team qualified for the finals, which have not been played yet. CIF Sectionals will be held at both Cate School and Carpinteria High School courts on Thursday, May 28.

“Ex Machina” duncan’s reel deal Citizens arrest each other
MATT DUNCAN Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), a nerdy computer programmer, wins first prize! Who knows for what, but hey, Caleb is pretty excited about it. All Caleb knows is he gets to spend a week with Nathan (Oscar Isaac), the founder of Blue Book (read: Google), which is a tech company that is best known for its search engine that handles almost all internet searches. At first Nathan seems like some kind of burly bro hipster. He is personable at times, but he also has a mad scientist way about him. When Nathan jokes to Caleb that he had all the people who built his home killed to protect his secrets, you know it is a joke, but you also look into Nathan’s squirrelly eyes and think, “Um, are you maybe serious?” Nathan is also a hermit. He lives way out in the middle of nowhere in a very secure, high-tech compound. When Caleb is flown in by helicopter, the pilot has to leave him a ways off from the compound because the pilot is not allowed to get any closer. So what’s the prize? Well, Caleb gets to stay with Nathan, hang out with Nathan, party with Nathan (oh, yeah, Nathan is an alcoholic). But most importantly, Caleb gets to see Nathan’s latest work—his work on artificial intelligence. Hence, Caleb meets Ava (Alice Vikander). Ava is artificial. That is clear from the humming machinery visible through the transparent skin covering most of her body. But Ava is also intelligent. Her speech, while a tad formal, is smooth and responsive to nuanced questions, and her facial expressions are subtle and remarkably human. And so it turns out that this “prize” week is really Nathan’s way of getting Caleb to put Ava through the so-called “Turing Test.” The Turing Test has someone interface via a computer with one human and one robot/computer, and if this someone cannot tell which is which, the robot passes the test. Some people think this is a test for intelligence, thought, a mind or even consciousness (though even Turing himself recognized its limitations with respect to the latter). But Nathan brings Caleb in for a sort of extended Turing Test: Caleb does not interact with Ava via a computer. He talks to her, interviews her, confides in her, listens to her desires and worries, gauges her facial expressions, weighs her movements and so on. This is supposed to be the ultimate, decisive test for intelligence. And that is what this film is all about.
It has a singular focus: The Turing(-ish) Test. It is all about the test in one form or another. And one of the beauties is that we, the audience, are the ones running the test. Caleb is the interviewer, but we are the judges. Is Ava a person? Does she have a mind? Is she conscious? And it’s not just Ava. More generally: Who are the real people, and who are mere automata? And, by extension: Who is to be praised or blamed, who deserves freedom or punishment, and whose life is worth preserving? I like that filmmaker Alex Garland is so obsessed with this Turing Test idea. Focus is good. But it is also risky. It is risky because if the heady AI stuff fails to come off, there isn’t anything else to back it up. There is little else driving this movie. But, at the end of the day, who really cares? This is a sci-fi movie. Risks are what it’s all about. What matters is that “Ex Machina” stokes the imagination. It succeeds in its playing around with ideas—with this notion of external marks of the mental, in particular, and with the forms and importance of observation more generally. I say, “playing around” because “Ex Machina” is a sandbox. It is play—an exploration. It is not about answers (though it does eventually offer some answers, which is regrettable given how the rest of the film goes). This movie is about possibilities, what-ifs, potential advances and dangers, and an examination of what we are, could be or could do. Now, “Ex Machina” does not ask any new questions or raise any new puzzles. But it does offer a fun look at some really good questions and some really interesting puzzles. “Ex Machina” is rated R for graphic nudity, language, sexual references and some violence. Matt Duncan, a former Coastal View News Editor, has taken physical but not emotional leave from Carpinteria to attend University of Virginia for a Ph.D. in philosophy. In his free time from philosophizing, Duncan enjoys chasing his kid around, watching movies, and updating his movie review blog, duncansreeldeal.blogspot.com.
A scuffle erupted at a Carpinteria Avenue pizza parlor on May 1 over one man smack talking another man’s girlfriend. The alleged smack talker, 38, said he was standing in line minding his own business when the boyfriend, 43, walked up to him and asked why he had been talking smack. The boyfriend then allegedly punched the man before they grappled each other to the floor. The boyfriend admitted to that basic account of things, but denied throwing any punches. He said they only wrestled around on the ground. The girlfriend in question was there too. She stated that the fight was over some “old high school drama.” The smack talker told deputies he wanted to press charges, and the deputies said he could conduct a citizen’s arrest. Once informed of the citizen’s arrest, the boyfriend said he would like to return the favor. Deputies explained to the men that they were being cited and were essentially arresting each other. The district attorney would review the report and determine whether to charge either of them.
Padaro parking
A deputy discovered a vehicle parked on Padaro Lane that had both a man and woman in the driver’s seat at around 9:30 p.m. on May 2. When the officer flashed the couple with his spotlight, the woman, 32, shifted over to the passenger’s seat. The deputy then got out and knocked at the driver’s side window, where he saw that the man, 33, had put a key into the ignition and had his foot on the brake. When the man lowered the window, the car exhaled alcohol-infused air. The deputy also noted that the man’s eyes were bloodshot and his speech was slurred. At first, the man said he had consumed two glasses of wine with dinner. But later
in the investigation, he changed his story and said it was a pint of beer. Asked about the discrepancy, the man explained he had consumed the wine at 3:30 p.m. when he was with family and friends. The driver had also at first claimed to be coming from the woman’s work, but after said he was coming from dinner. Deputies eventually arrested the man for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Checked out
A clerk from a Via Real motel reported that a guest needed to be evicted by law enforcement on May 3, because she was refusing to leave hours after her scheduled check out. Officers reported to the motel and acquired a room key. They knocked but received no answer before entering the room. It was dark and vacated. However, they observed two empty bottles of wine and an empty bottle of vodka. The officers then informed the clerk that the problem had taken care of itself before exiting back to the parking lot. A vehicle was passing and a deputy waited for it to roll by but it stopped. A woman rolled down the window and slurred a complaint in a boozy voice. She had never been treated so badly at a motel before, she told the officer. They had been mean to her and demanded that she leave. The officer asked the woman for her license and registration, and she fumbled through a purse for a while before locating a temporary license issued by the DMV. The officer found that it was suspended. The officer asked her out of the vehicle and began his driving under the influence investigation. She was extremely clumsy. When it came time for the breath test, she blew .27 percent, over three times the legal limit, and was brought to jail for driving under the influence on a suspended license.
Questions about Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is the world’s first and largest fraternal organization, based on the belief that each man has a responsibility to make the world a better place.

What goes with what wardrobe wisdom CITy oF CArPInTErIA
The proposed trailhead for a path connecting Rincon to Carpinteria Avenue includes picnic benches, landscaping and parking.
PLANNING COMMISSION ConTinued fRom pAge 1
The company, which is operated under parent company American Baptist Homes of the West, has done market research in Carpinteria and found that there is high demand for a senior living center in the community. Commissioners questioned the affordability of the center and whether preferences would be given to local clients. “We don’t have a particular local preference, but we’re here because we expect to serve locals,” nadhir said. All beds would be rented at market rate, which nadhir admitted prices some people out of care facilities such as Steadfast. He did not offer a cost estimate. once the permitting is in place, renovation of the property is expected to take nine or 10 months, he said “I have been contacted by people in the community who have said, ‘yes. We have to have this facility in Carpinteria,’” Commissioner John Callender said. “It can be difficult to have to basically commute to care for a loved one.” Commissioners gave unanimous support to the rincon Trail and a parking lot at the east end of Carpinteria Avenue. The full project, championed by Matt roberts, Director of Parks and recreation, spans city, county and railroad properties and will require approval from several agencies, as well as funding, before groundbreaking, which the city estimated could happen in 2017. A major funding source for the project will be Santa Barbara County Association of Governments as part of the Linden-Casitas Freeway Interchange Project. The Planning Commission’s support applies to just the city portion of the trail, which includes the trailhead and first 650 feet of the 12-foot-wide path for pedestrians and bicyclists. roberts sees the rincon Trail as a criti-
cal connection in the Carpinteria Coastal Vista Trail that now includes a number of segments along the Carpinteria coastline. Another key link in the Coastal Vista Trail that is missing now but poised to be filled in is a connection between Carpinteria and Santa Claus Lane. This trail portion has been worked into Caltrans plans for Highway 101 expansion. “It’s going to be one of the prettiest, most irresistible little trail sections in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties,” roberts said. The rincon Trail plans include a bridge over the railroad tracks west of the county parking lot for rincon Beach. When the project receives environmental clearance, it will be more attractive for alternative transportation grant funding, roberts said. The project should take 18 months to two years to complete after funding is secured. There was some discussion about the access point for the trail. The ultimate goal is to also feed the Carpinteria Coastal Vista Trail through the vacant resort zoned property on the Carpinteria Bluffs directly to rincon, but the approved rincon Trail will be accessed from Carpinteria Avenue. Community Development Director Jackie Campbell said that it’s impossible to tie the bluffs trail into this project until development for those properties is planned and permitted. It will be a requirement for developers to provide public throughways on the coastal sides of those properties as conditions to build. “Until we see development on the Bluffs 3 resort zoned property, that’s when we would attempt to condition any development to dedicate the trail easement along these bluff top properties that would connect with this pedestrian crossing,” Campbell stated.

LORI COOPER Good cooking and dressing well have a lot in common. Both are required daily activities and take some skill and practice to master. As in most things, a strong interest and curiosity about cooking or clothing can lead to greater proficiency. Most of us know someone who can make a sumptuous meal without consulting a recipe or measuring ingredients. He or she likely learned to cook by watching a relative cook over the years, by watching cooking shows or by poring over cookbooks. Most importantly, he or she has spent time tasting and practicing the skills. Similarly, a person who dresses fabulously day after day has undoubtedly given some thought to what clothing suits her personal style and body shape and where and how to shop. She has in all likelihood worn some regrettable outfits over the years, but that’s part of the learning process. Just as a great cook knows when to add more salt to a dish or at what moment to take her pie out of the oven, an experienced dresser knows how to mix and match garments. Today I’d like to shed some light on ways to master this art of putting an outfit together. Think of a morning when you took forever to get dressed; nothing seemed to go together and you were tempted to stay in your pajamas all day. Sometimes garments don’t coordinate because their styles are so dissimilar. For example, most of the clothes I own are somewhat classic, tailored and feminine. When I try to pair a drapey, bohemian top with my skirts, it just looks weird. As a general rule of what goes with what, pairing like with like works best, unless you are going for a deliberately contrasting look. For example, I like to wear a silky, graceful blouse with a conservative pencil skirt to balance out my ensemble. It is also a good idea to stay with the

rule of like going with like when it comes to fabric weight. Pairing some lightweight pants with a top in a hefty fabric will not look right. Instead, pair the pants with a finely gauged sweater (not a heavy, bulky one), or with a top in a similar weight. If you want to wear a wool jacket, make sure what you wear with it is not flimsy. The cutting edge fashion world encourages us to be bold. We are told to wear floral prints with checks, and stripes with plaid, and plaid with florals. What isn’t very clear most of the time is how to create a cool, unique outfit without crossing into a wacky realm. Those in the advanced school of mixing pattern and print are mindful of color and proportion. In terms of color, if you have a navy and blue striped skirt, you can wear a navy and blue floral top or scarf with it. If your skirt also has some green in it, you can wear a green and white checked top. Let’s say you have a yellow, green and pink plaid shirt. Try wearing a pink and yellow striped garment on the lower half of your body. In other words, your colors in separate garments need to match even if the patterns or prints are different. By making sure that your mixing and matching magic is rooted in a strong proportion and size sensibility, you will look like a styling pro. If you want to wear your black and white floral print dress with a striped sweater in the same colors, both patterns need to be the same size. In other words, if the size of the flowers is small, the stripes on the sweater should be small. All of these rules can be tossed out the window if you don’t give a hoot about fashion guidelines. If you do give a hoot though (and since you’ve made it this far in my column, I assume you do), the good news is you don’t have to start from scratch. The world’s most fashionable dressers and great cooks have left us recipes and guidelines to follow. Endless inspiration can be found on Pinterest and by paying attention to how snappy dressers put together a look. In addition, start thinking of your closet as an exciting laboratory in which to practice mixing and matching today.

Max, Toby, Matt and Lucy Theule escaped from Alcatraz. They embarked on a week long California coastal cruise with 27 members of Matt’s family and wedged in a visit to The Rock in San Francisco Bay. Max, 14, said it was “awesome and interesting” and Lucy commented on how difficult it would have been to be imprisoned there. The cruise had stops in San Francisco, Santa Barbara, San Diego and Ensenada, Mexico.

CVN submits to Belizean sun
Lisa Guravitz and Fred Shaw spent two weeks exploring Belize. They spent the first week in the Cayo district, where they toured Mayan ruins, canoed through a cave and visited a butterfly farm and iguana preserve. They ate coconuts straight from the tree and drank Belikin beers. Then they went to Ambergris Caye where they snorkeled, sailed and swam in the Caribbean Sea, flew over the famous Blue Hole, and visited the second largest barrier reef in the world. CVN could barely keep up.
