Council voices interest in Community Energy
Not forgotten
BY LEA BOYD
Energy that is both cleaner and cheaper gained the Carpinteria City Council’s interest at its May 26 meeting. The four councilmembers present (Wade Nomura was absent due to his wife’s medical condition) agreed that a Community Choice Aggregation, in which a local government acts as an energy purveyor by purchasing energy on the wholesale market, would be worth considering. A letter will be sent to the County of Santa Barbara expressing interest in, and possible contribution to, a feasibility study for such an undertaking. CCAs allow customers to decide what type of energy they wish to support, which can lead to greater use of alternative energy sources, such as wind and solar. “I think the future is renewable energy and we need to get there sooner than later,” said Councilman Fred Shaw. The transmission, maintenance and billing of electricity would be left to the existing utility company, in Carpinteria’s case, Southern California Edison. Three CCAs are now in operation in California, and Jefferson Litten of the Community Environmental Council spoke about the success of these programs in saving customers money while drastically reducing emissions of carbon dioxide. He said the additional benefits of a CCA are that revenues stay local, there is added choice and competition, and local jobs are created. A feasibility evaluation for Santa Barbara County is expected to cost from $280,000 to $335,000. Carpinteria has not committed to participating, but the council’s support opens the door for potential participation. Jim Taylor of Carpinteria Valley Association noted that catastrophe like the recent oil spill could be avoided if dependence on fossil fuels were reduced or eliminated. Oil is transported to and from Carpinteria, where, Taylor said, “We live constantly at risk of disaster.” He added, “There is nothing to fear from a solar spill.”
Carpinteria appears safe from Refugio oil spill
In response to a barrage of questions fielded by the city from concerned Carpinterians, City Manager Dave Durflinger publicly announced at the May 26 city council meeting that oil from the recent spill at Refugio State Beach is not expected to reach local shores. At this point, the oil has migrated as far as Haskell’s Beach in Goleta. Anyone interested in helping is advised to call California Spill Watch at 228-4544.
DOBBINS
A new Fallen Veterans Memorial at Carpinteria Valley Memorial Park was dedicated on May 22 to kickstart Memorial Day weekend. The memorial, an undertaking of Eagle Scout candidate Duncan Smith, pictured center, contains the names of 28 Carpinterian veterans who died during a time of war. Smith commented that the community supported him greatly in his endeavor to provide a tribute to the fallen veterans.
Cate School holds 102nd commencement ceremony
Cate School graduated 77 members of the class of 2015 on May 24, marking the school’s 102 nd commencement ceremony. Headmaster Ben Williams conferred the diplomas and recognized each student with personally crafted citations describing their contributions to the school. English teacher Peter Arango, who is retiring after 18 years in the classroom, delivered a commencement address, as did Elli Park, who was selected by her classmates to speak. Students from the class of 2015 will matriculate at colleges including Stanford, Yale, Columbia, Haveford, Princeton, Georgetown, Middlebury, University of Virginia and University of Pennsylvania. Science Department Chair Bob Bonning was awarded the Spittler Cup for inspiring students to hold themselves to high standards, and English Department chair Ross Robins received the Servons Award for his commitment, compassion and exemplary service to the school.

Ribbon cutting scheduled for counseling office relocation
Carpinteria’s free mental health counseling office has changed locations, and to officially unveil the new office in the Carpinteria Veterans Memorial Building, 941 Walnut Ave., a ribbon cutting will be held on Monday, June 1 at 3 p.m. Staffed by the county’s Alcohol Drug and Mental Health Services, the office is open between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursday of each month.

County boards seek new members
Santa Barbara County has announced that there are vacancies on the Advisory Board on Alcohol and Drug Problems and the County Fish and Game Commission that can be filled by residents of the first district, which includes Carpinteria and Summerland. “Serving on County Boards and Commissions provides a unique opportunity for members of the public to participate in local government by offering their insight and knowledge on critical issues affecting the quality of life in our community,” said Supervisor Salud Carbajal. The purpose of the Advisory Board on Alcohol and Drug Problems is to provide a forum to obtain comprehensive, broad-based input from the community and other sources that can be utilized to advise the Santa Barbara County Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services Department. The County Fish and Game Commission members must be familiar with matters pertaining to fish and wildlife. Duties include making recommendations on conservation projects and propagation of fish and wildlife resources and making recommendations on the disbursement of fines and revenue collected from infractions of the State Fish and Wildlife Code. In order to be considered, applications must be submitted to Supervisor Carbajal’s office or the Clerk of the Board by June 12. For application forms, visit the county website at countyofsb.org or call Supervisor Carbajal’s office at 568-2186.

Interchange project mars beach town vibes
It was with a heavy heart that I read Jane Benefield’s letter last week, “Painful limping is not an option,” regarding the upcoming freeway expansion. She wrote, “It will leave a scar. The small town feeling of Carpinteria will be chipped away by the presence of traffic lights, wide roadways, urbanized looking cement bridges and general sameness experienced an all American cities.” Of the five traffic lights mentioned, they don’t count the overhang so there are at least 10 including the overhangs, cement bridges include 5-foot bike paths and 8-foot sidewalks; the overall width of the Casitas Pass Bridge is equivalent to seven traffic lanes; Linden Avenue five. Thanks to last week’s Planning Commission meeting coverage (CVN, May 21), we can clearly see the violations/ requested exceptions to the Local Coastal Plan: “As is, the project violates city mandates to preserve agricultural land uses and wetlands.” Let’s remind ourselves why we have an LCP—to preserve our agricultural land uses and wetlands. The Community Development Director suggests we give Santa Barbara County two parcels of land which she assumes the county would be “less likely” to develop; giving up the city’s control. Since I’ve lived here (1996), this property has been grown in lovely baby’s breath. I sat on the Design Review Team— don’t let Caltrans fool you; they walked out with the exact plan they walked in with. Caltrans “standards” apply to the entire state of California. It doesn’t matter if we are a small beach community or the sprawl of Simi Valley. Depending on whom you talk to the “democratic process” has been for show. City Councilmen, please, when this project is presented for your approval; remember you are charged to maintain our small beach community. Just because you were fooled by the landscaped meridian; the actual width (equal to seven traffic lanes) of the Casitas Pass bridge expansion is far too much bridge for our small beach community.

Teachers deserve secure financial futures
In response to “Open letter to the Carpinteria School Board,” (CVN, April 23): As a teacher in the district, I have been aware of the proceedings involving pay and health benefits. Carpinteria is a great community with access to some of the finest things in life: natural beauty, concerned citizens and valuable resources—including the educators and staff of Carpinteria Unified School District. We all want to celebrate the many successes that have been a part of education in Carpinteria. Who will advocate to support the educators and the staff that make it their lives’ goal to provide that most valuable resource? Who will make it possible for those who promote a successful future for students to be able to move forward with confidence concerning their own futures? What we have in Carpinteria is a family of folks who want to advocate for and support the students and the staff. Just as students need to be encouraged and supported, so do those who help create an environment of educational success. Please, let us feel valued. Now is the time for possibilities to be put into practice—possibilities that provide for confidence that we won’t have to worry that we can’t afford to live and thrive as we advocate for our students. I am personally of an age that I am not secure in my financial future. I am also a witness to the burdens of medical expenses that far exceed benefits. I put in a decade of preparation to be able to do the job that I do, hoping that it would lead to the excitement of opening minds to infinite possibilities. Now I do hope that there are truly infinite possibilities for success, confidence and financial security for all of us.

Fire department should consider county merger
Every so often, a cost saving opportunity too good to pass up presents itself on a silver platter to tax payers. The stars so to speak, have re-aligned in favor of Carpinterians. It’s clear by the defeat of Measure Z that the majority of citizens feel that their taxes in and of themselves should be sufficient to fund anything the fire department needs in order to better serve the public. And now with the retirement of the fire chief, the time has come, once again, for a serious look at consolidation. Without a chief at the helm, the transition could be seamless. This isn’t anything new to the citizens of Carpinteria. It’s been some years now since the Santa Barbara County Sheriffs absorbed the local police department. As some people know, there was a study many years ago that suggested at the time it would be beneficial for the Carpinteria/Summerland Fire District to merge into the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. It doesn’t take an economics major to see the cost savings with such a marriage. It might be well worth it, at the very least, to entertain a feasibility study to see if it continues to be in the best interests of the community.

Cacophony of cicadas sounds shrill
You can’t miss the sound of the annual cicadas at the bluffs. They are bugs that live underground for 13 to 17 years, and every summer between June and August nymphs climb out from the underground and onto the foliage to a place where they can shed their shell or molt into mature adults and spread their wings. Then their synchronized mating chorus begins, and it is ear piercing. Not something I expect when I drive out to the bluffs to walk my dog along the dusty and dry trails where only mustard plants, filled with bees, seem to thrive. I went there for some solitude to think about my life, but I couldn’t think of anything other than getting out of there because of the noise the cicadas were making. It is only the males making all this ruckus, the females stay quiet. The last few days I have been there with my dog, I had to turn around and head back to my car to get away from their chorus. It hurt my ears. The sound is like a high-pitched power line noise, and it is unrelenting. The swallows are whipping
low over the shrubs, where the cicadas are perched, to feast on them among other bugs. I can only imagine that there must be hundreds of thousands of cicadas in the shrubs. The noise will die out soon as the adult’s life cycle will end in two to four weeks and then maybe it will be quiet again aside from the sound of the bees or the occasional complaints of the crows or the warning chirping sounds from the ground squirrels. So if you are sensitive to high-pitched sounds bring some earplugs with you to the bluffs. You’ll need them.

Water conservation shouldn’t be penalized with prices
I applaud the Carpinteria Valley Water District board of directors for its efforts to reinforce water conservation. We all want to do our part to conserve what water we do have. My only problem is the monetary one. I live in a senior mobile home park where many are on a fixed income. Most folks try to conserve not just on water but everything, because we are used to having a tight budget. So my question is why does the water board think it is OK to charge more for water when most are doing their part to use less water? Another question I have is, why hasn’t the state level government water department prepared for this years if not decades ago? It is kind of a no-brainer, really. California’s population is only destined to grow, but if we have no additional water storage facilities, how can we take advantage of the El Nino years? Doesn’t anyone in government/management have foresight on this problem? Another idea is why not find other ways to import water resources from other states? The Midwest and even the East Coast may benefit from this opportunity. After all, if the breadbasket of the world dries up, food prices could become astronomical for all of us. Price gouging water is a problem. Seniors with fixed incomes suffer the most. Already seniors have to choose, often, whether they want the medication or food more. Now they will have to consider water.

City streets get shortCanalino preps for dual term attention, longterm language program problems persist By LEA BoyD
The City of Carpinteria’s general fund surplus of $500,000 will soon be spent on maintaining one of the least glamorous yet most necessary assets, its roadways. A decision by the Carpinteria City Council on May 26 will fund a street maintenance project in 2015-2016 by using this year’s excess dollars accrued from higher-thananticipated sales, bed and property taxes. City officials have warned Carpinterians for years of impending shortfalls between the street rehabilitation pricetag and funds earmarked for the city’s aging roadways. City Manager Dave Durflinger told the council that in the past revenues for roads were higher and the roads themselves were younger and in better shape. Gas tax income to the city is now flat, he said, and Measure A’s funds for local roadways are lower than its sales tax predecessor, Measure D, due to other countywide priorities such as the widening of Highway 101 and public transportation. Durflinger called the $500,000 proposal an anomaly, iterating that the general fund won’t support that kind of subsidy for streets in perpetuity. “This is kind of a stop gap project for this year,” he said. According to a study of local roadways, $1.5 million is required annually to maintain the roads’ status quo condition. Five years ago, the 28 miles of local streets were assessed as being in “very
Durflinger called the $500,000 proposal an anomaly, iterating that the general fund won’t support that kind of subsidy for streets in perpetuity. “This is kind of a stop gap project for this year,” he said. good” shape; they’ve slipped to a rating of “good” and will continue to drop if the city continues with its average annual funding of about $300,000. Specifics of how the one-time infusion will be spent will be ironed out through the use of a database that contains detailed information on the state of Carpinteria roadways. It will be used to determine which roads and which treatments will stretch the dollar the furthest. A longterm remedy for the street maintenance dilemma has yet to be decided upon. The council will discuss possible solutions at a meeting a few months out.
Starting in the fall of 2016, kindergarten students in Carpinteria Unified School District may have the opportunity to develop fluency in English and Spanish in the classroom. Canalino School Principal Jamie Persoon is working with her staff and a parent advisory committee to implement a dual language immersion program that should lead to proficiency in both languages by the third or fourth grade. “If you want your children to be bilingual, this is the way to do it,” said Jeff Chancer, interim superintendent for CUSD. Chancer spent several years working in Ventura and Oxnard school districts where successful dual immersion programs are in place. Various dual language models exist, but Canalino is likely to implement a 90/10 model in which 90 percent of kindergarten instruction is in Spanish. That percentage decreases each year until, by fifth grade, students are receiving half of their lessons in English and half in Spanish. The program encourages a deep understanding of the language because subjects like science and math, as well as reading and writing, are taught in
Spanish. Canalino is in an ideal position to launch such a program, Persoon said, because 10 of its teachers are bilingual. Five of them are native Spanish speakers, which is best for higher level learning in upper grades. At a recent presentation to the Board of Education, Persoon listed several benefits to students from dual language immersion, including acquisition of future marketable skills, longterm cognitive benefits and the opportunity to learn a language at an optimal point in development. Classes should be an even mix of native Spanish and English speakers, and enrollment would be completely voluntary. Persoon said that she has been contacted by numerous parents interested in participating. The program, which is no more expensive to operate than a traditional classroom, must first gain the support of the board. Depending on demand, Canalino could launch its dual language program with one or two kindergarten classes in just over a year. ––Lea Boyd

Adult children of alcoholics
According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, alcohol is the most commonly used addictive substance in the United States. In fact, one in every 12 adults suffers from alcohol abuse and dependence, and more than half of all adults have a family history of alcoholism or problem drinking. Many experts feel that if one or both of your parents were alcoholics, you may exhibit a host of undesirable traits, sometimes called “the laundry list.” For example, adult children of alcoholics may feel victimized, possess low self-esteem, frequently seek approval, succumb to compulsive behaviors and have trouble maintaining healthy relationships. An estimated one in four children of alcoholics become alcoholics themselves. “Even if the child does not become an adult alcoholic, other psychological problems may result, such as obsessivecompulsive disorders and the unrealistic need to be ‘perfect’,” stated Dr. Mark Gold in psychcentral.com. Fortunately, there are many helpful resources available, both locally and online. To find programs and services that address alcohol and drug dependence, call the Santa Barbara County Alcohol and Drug program at 681-5440. For help with mental health and substance de-
The following counts taken from May 18-24 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
353
High Pup Count
Most pups were born early and are now difficult to distinguish from adults.
Volunteers recorded 1,229 people including viewers from Venezuela, Thailand, the Netherlands, Germany, Mexico, Argentina, China, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Japan, Washington, Texas, Ohio, Maryland, New York, Florida, Colorado, New Jersey, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina and Maine.
Disturbances
Over 200 seals were frightened into the ocean by a jogger on the beach.
Natural History Notes
Volunteers notice both natural and human disturbances, but the major concern is human disruption of the seals’ behavior. Natural disturbances, such as those caused by unexpected bird movements, landslides or large sneaker waves have always occurred and, so far as anyone has documented, have not been a cause of population change or loss of habitat. Only people have caused recorded loss of harbor seal population, haulouts and rookeries. Locally, the rookery at Goleta Beach was lost by increased people in the 1960s, and it appears, according to recent observations, that the rookery at Ellwood is being abandoned due to increased human presence. Sealwatchers observe that the seals move to the ocean in greater numbers and stay away longer when frightened by beachwalkers than when startled by birds. Seals are smart and react appropriately to what might be real threats. They cannot protect themselves from potential large land predators.

On Saturday, Dec. 20, 2014, this world lost a very unique soul, Daniel Peter Dempski, Jr. Born at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank in 1965 following a crosscountry trip from Waukegan, Ill., Danny spent his earliest years under the tutelage of his father, revolutionary custom car designer and builder Dan Dempski, Sr.—famous for being the creator of the original “Batcycle” and countless other custom and experimental cars at his shop, “Kustomotive.” It was there Danny learned mechanics and restoration, skills he used later in life to refurbish classic cars as a hobby. After a typical San Fernando Valley upbringing—bike riding, skateboarding, listening to rock music and attending North Hollywood High—Danny went to work in studio catering, working on some of the biggest films at the time with stars like Eddie Murphy, Dan Akroyd and Dennis Quaid. A gig catering rock concerts followed, and Danny loved recounting his many adventures on the road with artists Bruce Springsteen, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, Madonna and The Dixie Chicks, to name a few. He was equally at home in the VIP room as he was hanging out with the roadies backstage; his good looks, positive attitude and willingness to help out made him always welcome, and he made friends everywhere he went. When his older sister called him to come help her run the prestigious hotel La Villa de Belieu in St. Tropez where she
was living, he caught the next plane and enjoyed the south of France so much, he stayed for over 10 years, making many friends. He used his restoration skills renovating centuries-old chateaux for wealthy Irish and English clients living in Provence, and enjoyed helping his long-time partner, Caroline, work the local farmers markets. During a trip home for the holidays, Danny was the target of a “simple twist of fate,” when his high school sweetheart unwittingly purchased the house one door down from his sister Colleen O’Kane’s home in Toluca Lake, where he was staying. The last two years of Danny’s life were spent renovating a cottage with his good friend, Payton Booker, Jr., here in the beautiful foothills of Carpinteria. Eternally laid-back, Danny always had a smile on his face and never asked for much, character traits that helped earn him his nickname, The Dude. (Besides the obvious physical resemblance). He loved music—and could beat anybody at Name That Tune—and was also an avid fan of “Jeopardy”—surprising us all with his range of wisdom in the most random of categories. After a relaxing day at the beach last summer, Danny twisted his ankle while riding his bike home, and, following complications due to the pain medication he was prescribed, it was determined he had pancreatic cancer and given a short time left to live. He accepted his prognosis bravely. “It is what it is,” he shrugged, and he was gone in just 80 days. He passed peacefully at the incomparable Serenity House, high on a hill overlooking Santa Barbara, and shared with us one last smile. His family would like to thank the compassionate staff that helped make his last days so comfortable, as well as the doctors and nurses at Cottage Hospital who tried so hard to save him. Humble, honest and loyal to his friends and family, Danny Jr. will remain in all of our hearts forever. The Dude abides…

Where has my get-up-and-go gone? a monthly muse MELINDA WITTWER Long ago in an entirely different era when I was about 10, I memorized the poem “My Get-Up-and-Go Has Got Up and Went” written by the famous author, Anonymous. This was for recitation at a talent show where I dressed like an old crone, donned a pair of fake glasses and wrapped myself in my mom’s old chenille bathrobe that usually hung in the back of her closet. I may have even worn a hair net. Now I’m beginning to feel that poem was really a prediction of the reality of my life in 2015. Back in the 1980s, I would get up at 5:30 every school day, throw a load of laundry into the washer, pack lunches, shower, dress, grab a quick bowl of cereal and drive to Oxnard so I could be at our junior high shortly after 7 a.m. Once there I would teach six periods, which meant dealing with more or less 180 students, correct papers, talk with parents and administrators and make sure I had lesson plans for the next day. Then I would drive back to Carpinteria, pick up one or two of my sons, deliver each to soccer or Tae Kwon Do or basketball, go to my husband’s business to do the bookwork and then usually move on to the bank before gathering everyone up to head for home. Of course home meant preparing dinner, helping with homework and baths and teeth brushing and reading stories before bed. I did this day in and day out for years and thought nothing of it. Now each day when I get up at 7 or 8 in the morning, I think of how much energy it will take to make coffee, and I evaluate whether or not to grind beans at home or get in my car and drive to the nearest café. Don’t get me wrong, I’m busy all the time—I just don’t seem to get much done. In April I become alarmed about getting our taxes completed. Of course I start worrying about this process as soon as Christmas is over, try to ignore everything during January, procrastinate the whole month of February and then start panicking in mid-March. I promise myself next year I will get organized, keep better records and not lose any of those “important” documents. I lock myself away from distractions and try to focus on filling in all the blanks in the “tax packet” our accountant sends us. It seems

TODAY’S CLASSIC COCKTAILS $8
I can draw out this ordeal for hours on end without getting much accomplished. In addition, of course, we all have our household chores to do but somehow my chores never seem to quite be done. Take my weekly trip to the grocery store. I make all my selections and get ready to pay only to discover all my bags are still in the trunk of my car. Then once I am home with my purchases I find I either forgot one of the main things I needed, or I’ve left a bag of items sitting in a cart in the middle of the parking lot. I must admit that part of my lack of getting things done involves my distractions. I like a good book and find it hard to resist just a few more pages. I also have an addiction—pottery. Playing with clay is better than therapy, and I’m easily persuaded to drop everything and throw a pot. And, of course, I have my grandsons. How can I worry about watering plants or any other chore for that matter when I have grandsons who want to go to the park or bake cookies or play ball or dance across the living room floor? Maybe it just seems that I don’t get as much done as I once did, but in truth, I just get different things done. I choose to spend my time accomplishing things I want to do rather than a long list of things I should do. So I’m taking my grandsons to the movies, meeting my friends for a

Robben Ford returns
Electric blues guitarist Robben Ford and his band will perform at Carpinteria’s Plaza Playhouse Theater on Wednesday, June 10 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $35 and available at onestowatchproductions.com. The noted guitarist began his four-decade career touring with Joni Mitchell, George Harrison and Miles Davis. In 2014 Ford shared the Plaza Playhouse stage with singersongwriter Jonathan McEuen. The upcoming concert will feature songs from Ford’s 2015 album Into The Sun. This columnist spoke with him about his smooth, spontaneous guitar technique. CVN: Can you describe your hybrid blues/jazz style of playing? Robben Ford: I grew up in the ’60s. The Beatles and Rolling Stones kind of re-introduced us to rhythm and blues. I was 16 when I first heard B.B. King play. It was sheer joy. I felt an injection of what he was about. Then I discovered the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Their guitarist, Mike Bloomfield, really made me want to focus on playing the electric blues. I also wanted to study jazz. Now I probably listen to more jazz than any other form of music. CVN: You’ve said that you try to play guitar like a surfer rides a wave. How do you find that musical flow? Robben: When you play guitar it should be like speaking. You don’t think about it. When it’s happening you can’t know where it’s coming from. That’s a tremendous part of the wave’s energy. It’s also a survival instinct and just passion for music. It’s your opportunity to play, and you have to be good. You make it like it’s the last time you might ever play or sing.
Robben Ford is pictured in the studio recording his new 2015 album Into The Sun.
Ojai’s famed festival
The Ojai Music Festival is renowned for its innovative classical programming. Each year it attracts acclaimed composers, choreographers and performing artists. “Ojai is a place to experiment. It’s a laboratory. Artists come here to expand upon what they do,” explained Artistic Director Thomas Morris. Ojai’s 69th classical music festival will be held June 10 through 14. The event’s main concert venue is the downtown Libby Bowl. Tickets to the festival are available online at OjaiFestival.org. Call 646-2053 for personal assistance. “This year is going to be a wild ride. It will feature 34 different composers; 24 are living and 17 will be new to Ojai. The key is keeping programs fresh, lively and unexpected,” Morris said. Concerts will include Chinese pipa player/composer Wu Man, flutist Claire Chase, John Luther Adam’s work Sila: The Breath of the World, cellist Maya Beiser, mezzosoprano Peabody Southwell, The Calder Quartet and a salute to composer Pierre Boulez. On Wednesday, June 10 the festival will present the West Coast premier of “A Pierre Dream: A Portrait of Pierre Boulez.” The multi-media performance
features onstage actors and live musicians. Excerpts from 16 of Boulez’s works interact with archival footage and filmed interviews. “Everything onstage is in constant motion. Architect Frank Gehry conceived ‘A Pierre Dream’ and designed its movable sets and video screens,” Morris revealed. This year Morris selected percussionist Steven Schick to be the festival’s chief musical curator. Schick is the Distinguished Professor of Music at the University of California, San Diego. He is a conductor, author, recording artist and the founder/ director of the noted ensemble, red fish blue fish. “Obviously with Steve Schick there will be a lot of percussion music. He’s a composer and an energetic advocate for exciting things in music,” Morris said.
Sinatra Sings Sinatra
Frank Sinatra Jr. recently reprised 22 of his father’s classic songs at Orange County’s modern Segerstrom Center For The Arts. The Sinatra Sings Sinatra concert included hits “Come Fly With Me,” “Summer Wind,” “Night And Day,” “It Was A Very Good Year,” “The Best Is Yet To Come” and “Fly Me To The Moon.” Frank Jr. sang with his dad’s cool panache and fluid phrasing. He was backed by a
SUBMITTED
70-piece big band including strings and a harpist. They played Sinatra’s original arrangements including several by composer Quincy Jones who was in attendance. The audience erupted with spontaneous applause as the orchestra began each iconic tune. A 40-foot screen projected news clips and rare photos of Sinatra Sr.’s career including a montage of his airplane collection starting with a single engine Beechcraft and ending with Lear Jets and Gulfstreams. Frank Jr. worked as his father’s conductor for eight years. “Each night he would turn to me on stage and ask, ‘What’s next?’ Every time I told him ‘Strangers In the Night’ he would wince and say ‘Oh…that one.’ He didn’t care particularly for his No.1 Billboard hit off a million selling album!” Frank Sinatra Jr. ended his soldout Sergerstrom concert with crowd favorites “New York, New York,” “My Way” and sang the languid, “Strangers” superbly.

Unwieldy heist
A man reported that he had been busy working in his garage until about 9 p.m. on May 16 before calling it a day. He noted that his truck, which was parked on the street, had four wheels on it when he turned out the light. Then the next morning, he emerged from his home to find the truck had just two wheels remaining. Overnight, crooks had apparently removed two of the wheels, valued at $535 each, tire and all. There were no suspects in the Santa Monica Creek Road theft.
Hair of the dog
A woman who had been in an ongoing dispute with her landlord in Summerland reported that she suspected the landlord paid the home a visit on both May 12 and May 15. No material items in the home were disturbed during the visits, but she noticed that her dog’s ear hair had been cleanly clipped off. On May 12, the right ear hair received a trim, and on May 15 the left one was cut to match. The landlord reportedly became defensive on the phone when accused after the first visitation, stoking the tenant’s suspicions. Later in the day, the landlord left a voicemail making the point that it was the tenant’s own fault that the dog’s ear hair had suffered a bad trim. Then on May 15, the left ear hair was sheared. Unappreciative that the doggy cut had been balanced, the tenant called law enforcement to report the alleged crime. A deputy photographed the trimmings and took fingerprints from a doorknob. The deputy surmised that the straight line cut had to have been accomplished by a blade or scissors. There was no sign of forced entry. At the time of the report, the deputy had not been successful in contacting the landlord for questioning.

Her friends reportedly ordered her to take a chill pill, but she wasn’t swallowing. Deputies detained her for suspicion of public intoxication, but a friend reasoned with deputies that an Uber ride was on its way and they would look after their firecracker friend. Deputies released the woman to their custody.

Reckless abandon
A deputy on patrol noticed a driver burn rubber while turning from Casitas Pass Road onto Via Real before entering Highway 101 northbound on May 16. The deputy estimated the man accelerated to a speed of 55 miles per hour in a 40 zone and pulled the man off the freeway at Santa Monica Road. For his part, the driver, a 26-year-old man, explained that the tires were worn and apparently prone to slippage. The deputy wasn’t buying it. He said the prolonged squeal should have tipped off the man that he was gassing too hard and that any reasonable driver would have laid off the pedal. The man had a clean license and registration but lacked an insurance card, another vehicle violation. For his eager acceleration, the man had his truck towed and placed on a 30day hold for reckless driving. The officer commented that although the man did not like the outcome of the situation, he was cooperative in signing the citation and was able to get a ride home.

Young artists in bloom Woman’s Club Art Contest honors up-and-comers Photos by DAviD PoWDrell
Twenty-five local students became award-winning artists last week. The Carpinteria Woman’s Club Student Art Contest considered hundreds of colorful and creative art pieces and ultimately chose 25 for special honors at a ceremony on May 19. The longrunning art contest has been encouraging young talent for over 50 years. This year marks the second contest held in partnership with the Carpinteria Arts Center, which hosted the ceremony and a two-week show of the art. Judges were local artists Deb Jorgensen, Zoe Iverson, Sharon Schock and Henry Rasmussen, and the contest committee consisted of Geri Ann Carty, Marybeth Carty, Melissa Nimmer, Beth Schmohr and Kiona Gross.

A quiche Dad will love chef randy RANDY GRAHAM This is a wonderful recipe if you are looking for something different for Father’s Day. It is a welcome change from eggs and potatoes and was first served to me by my wife’s mom, Hattie, on a cold, snowy morning in Portola, Calif. Hattie used restaurant style hash browns, but those in the frozen food section of your favorite store will do nicely. Add coffee or tea, and a glass of orange juice, and you have a complete breakfast.

For the love of the library Photos by Robin KaRlsson
Library lovers packed the Carpinteria Woman’s Club on May 20 to show their support for the downtown hub of books, magazines, digital media, quiet contemplation and community events. Friends of the Carpinteria Library Annual Meeting attendees stomached a rather sobering view of the library’s future before shifting gears to enjoy a lasagna dinner and panel discussion featuring four longtime locals who spoke on their personal histories and their overlap with the city’s. In the face of a budget shortfall that threatens to close its doors an additional 10 hours a week, the library is seeking every ounce of support it can get. Jean Bailard, chair of the Friends board, reminded dinner guests on May 20 of the critical role they play in keeping the library open to everyone. Santa Barbara County funding plateaued years ago, and though the city and Friends of the Library continue to up their contributions, the gap grows larger every year. This year’s homage to the library also celebrated the city’s 50th anniversary. Panelists Matt Roberts, Silvia Echeverria, John Wullbrandt and Terry Hickey Banks spoke to the sold-out crowd about their families’ long ties to Carpinteria and how they have shaped the community through their careers and community service.

The 5,000-foot challenge a trainer’s journal

I still thought that this would be a great challenge after all of these years, so I jumped at the opportunity with an emphatic “Let’s do it! Count me in.” If you’re reading my column for the first time, it’s important to know that ROB BURKE I have been working through another Challenge has become synonymous huge challenge, parkinson’s disease. this with struggle.

It felt great removing the sweatsoaked bondage. It was now dark as we began to unpack the tent. pitching a tent in the dark was fun! (this is my positive way of saying I can’t get the stupid tent support rod into the base holes if I can’t see them. Campers will understand this reference. the rest of you can just picture me on my hands and knees searching for the corner holes in a round tent.) It didn’t take long before I was dead to the world and all of its six-legged inhabitants. I don’t think I ever slept so soundly. 5 a.m. on day two – We made breakfast out of dehydrated eggs and bacon and the elixir of the Gods, otherwise known as black coffee. Leaving our temporary home behind, we embarked on our first of three 5-mile hikes in search of photo-worthy flora and fauna. the paths were rocky and narrow and steep. two miles and another 2,000 feet up, I began to fatigue. the view of the ravine below was beautiful, but the fear associated with such height sent my body into tremors. I was moving along slowly with my backpacking buddy well out of sight, when it happened. my legs buckled and I fell to the ground, slipping and grasping for anything that would keep me from falling to a most certain demise, or it was a demise conjured up in panic. I found myself barely clinging to the path’s edge. Needless to say, I freaked out and froze. my tremors exacerbated the dilemma. I needed to do something and fast. I rested there on my stomach for what seemed an eternity and then I had an idea. I had the tools to get me out of this: my brain and my will.

Warriors earn two medals at CIF finals
Monique Sanchez finished in fourth place in the pole vault, and Gabriel Zapien-Ybarra placed fifth in the discus to earn medals at CIF Division 4Finals at Cerritos College on May 23. Fellow competitor Bobby Contreras placed seventh in the shot put, just one spot shy of medaling. Only the top six get hardware. Sanchez, a sophomore, turned in her best vault yet, 9-06, which also gave her the Carpinteria High School sophomore record. She is only six inches away from the outright school record. “Not bad for a first year vaulter,” commented coach Van Latham. Zapien-Ybarra hurled the discus 139-09, and Contreras threw the shot put 44-03 ½, his personal best and only 1.5 inches from medaling. Tri-Valley League champion Nordhoff High School won the CIF Division 4 title on the boys side and former TVL member Oaks Christian won the girls title. CHS alum and Vista Murietta High School head coach Coley Candaele handily won the CIF Division 1 boys title, VMHS’s fourth championship in five years.

Warrior baseball falls in playoffs Cooney praises team for resilience Carpinteria High School baseball used a late-season run to make playoffs and put up a fight in round one but lost 4-1 at Alhambra High School. The Warriors scored first after a leadoff single by Javier Jasso followed by a sacrifice bunt by Jonah Spach and RBI single by Jose Carrillo. The Warriors led 1-0 after the first inning. Jasso batted 2-for-3. The Moors limited the Warrior attack from there and were able to counter and take the lead for good in the second inning as they tallied two runs. Diego Contreras and David Martinez pitched well and were backed by a firm Warrior defensive effort. “It was a good high school baseball game; well pitched,
good offensive execution and solid defense on both sides. Unfortunately, a couple of breaks and a couple of timely hits for the Moors were the difference,” commented Warrior coach Pat Cooney. The Warriors won five of their last seven TVL games to climb into a thirdplace tie with Nordhoff High School and earn a playoff berth. The team started the league season at 1-4. The overall season record was 9-16. “Aside from the loss, we had a great baseball day. Not one of us will forget the experience. There is no doubt that we played our best baseball at the end of the season,” Cooney said.

BIDS TO rEMAIN OPEN: The Bidder shall guarantee the Total Bid Price for a period of sixty (60) calendar days from the date of bid opening. CONTrACTOr’S lICENSE ClASSIFICATION: In accordance with the provisions of California Public Contract Code Section 3300, the City has determined that the Bidder shall possess a valid Class A license at the time of the bid opening, time of award and at all times during performance of the Work. Failure to possess the specified license shall render the Bid as non-responsive and shall act as a bar to award of the Contract to any bidder not possessing such license at the time of the bid opening.

Bidder’s attendance at this meeting is highly advised but will not be mandatory. Bidders are hereby notified that pursuant to provisions of Sections l770. et seq, of the labor Code of the State of California, the Contractor shall pay its employees the general prevailing rate of wages as determined by the Director of the Department of Industrial relations. The latest prevailing wage rates are available from the California Department of Industrial relations and by visiting the following website: http:// www.dir.ca.gov/oprl/2012-2/PWD/index. htm. In addition, the Contractor shall be responsible for compliance with requirements of Section l777.5 of the California labor Code relating to apprentices of public works contracts.
Attention is directed to the Federal minimum wage rate requirements in the books entitled “Proposal and Contract.” If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate. The Department will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations. This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations. Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate, which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.

As the nation gears up for March Madness (starting March 19), CVN thought it would be appropriate to stoke the fire of excitement with an image of Carpinteria’s version of highly competitive basketball. Sports rivals Carpinteria and Bishop Diego high schools vie for a piece of the ball at this Feb. 7, 1978 game.

Life after lawns (part two) garden gossip CHRIS & LISA CULLEN
An opportunity to be creative
If you read last month’s column, you may recall that we talked about the possibility of life without lawns. I admit this advice isn’t for everyone. Some will continue to insist on having expansive lawns, and that is a personal choice. Although the fact is that lawns may be a thing of the past, the real question is, “What are the viable lawn alternatives?” We have grown so accustomed to our swaths of green, we can’t seem to visualize our gardens without them.
Faux: A solution or a problem?
Some people have suggested that faux turf is the perfect solution to “no more lawns.” I say, “Okay, perhaps for some.” I’m not going to get into my opinion about fake grass; I might upset too many people. I’ll let you do your own research and come to your own conclusion. There is much controversy associated with the environmental impact of artificial turf and that isn’t really the point. Instead I’d like you to consider this: It may be time to think outside the box. If you peruse images of the Mediterranean areas of Italy, Spain or France (areas that have a climate similar to ours) you’ll see fields of lavender, sunflowers, grape vines then plantings of sage, rosemary, thyme, palm, cypress, cacti and other low
water plantings. Lovely, fragrant, beautiful grey-greens, blues and yellows. Can you imagine the addition of plastic turf grass? I can’t. There are so many other more creative things to do. How about the classic of stone pots on gravel, filled with Olive trees, geraniums and the like? What about pathways lined with Echium, Mexican sage or lavender (think San Ysidro Ranch).
A swath of green
If you still need your swath of green, here are some ideas. Myoporum: Myoporum ground cover (Myoporum parvifolium prostratum) stays low to the ground, is very flat, drought tolerant and spreads quickly to cover any area. Sedum. There are many varieties of sedum that can be used to create a beautiful green lawn substitute. Select the variety that stays low to the ground. It will spread and comes in different shades of green. Dymondia is another great choice when you need a lawn substitute. It is low to the grown, grey-green and has seasonal yellow flowers. I’d like to imagine that there is life after lawns. You may just have to get a bit creative. If you want more low water planting ideas be sure to visit montecitolandscape.com. Until next time, fill your garden with joy (and creativity). 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?

Yet another example of how gardens can be beautiful and functional without the water-sucking lawn.
What to do in your garden now It’s not too late to plant summer-loving edibles. Tomatoes, peppers, beans, squash and the like will produce until October so continue planting your favorites. Continue to cover the ground with mulch. Mulch breaks down adding life to the soil, keeps weeds at bay and preserves moisture. Herbs are a good choice for pots and borders. Basil, parsley, cilantro, summer savory, chamomile, dill, chives, thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, marjoram, mint, tarragon and sorrel are just a few of the myriad of herbs available. Plus, fresh herbs are a great way to spice up your cooking! Create shade. During drought, shade is your friend. Plants in a shade garden need much less water than those in full sun, and you’d be surprised to discover that many “full sun” plants like ivy geranium and even rockrose enjoy a bit of shade.

The workshop introduces principles of the watershed approach to create a garden that thrives in our local climate, uses resources wisely and looks beautiful all year round.

Channel crossing, lighthouse to lighthouse CHUCK GRAHAM
unpredictable wilderness The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather report was calling for 47-mile-per-hour northwest winds, gusting to 60. It sure felt like it as I sat with three others momentarily stranded on a cobble beach strewn in driftwood on West Anacapa Island. Earlier in the day, we had left the southeast end of Santa Cruz Island kayaking toward East Anacapa Island and the lighthouse towering over the iconic 40-foot-tall rock arch, the symbol of the Channel Islands National Park 11 miles off the coast of Oxnard, Calif. The northwest winds hadn’t reached extremes just yet, and with the winds at our back we had no problem making good time to the second smallest isle off the mainland. We were supposed to camp at the only campground on East Anacapa Island just west of the lighthouse on top of the island where there is no cover from the wind. By the time we reached West Anacapa, wind velocity had ratcheted upward. We realized we weren’t going to be able to pitch tents and sleep reasonably well in those winds, so we opted to stay on that cobble beach tucked against the cliffs. Before it got dark we made a wind barrier with our kayaks, and twice in the night the wind picked up the kayaks and blew them to the edge of the water like flimsy pieces of cardboard. As the lighthouse flashed in the night, we recovered our kayaks and wedged rocks against them that held the rest of the night. It was so windy that even weatherbeaten California brown pelicans sought shelter within our kayak barrier, waddling by us to stick their heads in the bushes behind us. At 4 a.m. those howling northwest winds suddenly stopped. It was as if someone had shut the window in a house. Utter calm swept across the channel. There wasn’t a whisper of wind on the island, but the NOAA report was calling
The Anacapa Lighthouse has guided many a ship from a terrible fate. for more wind that coming afternoon. At first light everyone was in a mad rush, cramming their gear inside their kayaks before paddling toward the lighthouse just a couple miles east of where we camped. We paddled beneath the natural archway and then paddled northeast for the mainland. We kayaked in a tight formation aiming between oil platforms Gail and Gina at the east end of the Santa Barbara Channel. Our final destination would be the Port Hueneme Lighthouse built in 1941. The 11-mile channel crossing is the shortest distance between the Channel Islands and the mainland. As we approached the oil platforms, a small pod of common dolphins joined our small flotilla of kayaks. We were about 8 miles from the mainland as pelagic birds like black-vented shearwaters, western gulls and western grebes swooped from above and swam around our kayaks while we paddled over a bait ball of fish. As they fed we felt the first whisper of oncoming northwest winds, which were predicted to pick up by the afternoon. We looked at one another and began to

as the mainland came into view. The Santa Monica Mountain’s tallest crags were visible to the east. Long sandy beaches, the Port Hueneme Pier and to the west of it was the Port Hueneme Lighthouse, its Fresnel light flashing in the distance. The Anacapa Island Lighthouse can be visited through Island Packers, the only boat concession permitted to land visitors on the Channel Islands National Park. Call 642-1393, islandpackers.com. The Point Hueneme Lighthouse is owned by the U.S. Coast Guard and was constructed in 1941. The lighthouse is open for tours the third Saturday of the month from February through October from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The last tour of the day is at 2:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Clark finds friends in Phuket
Michael Clark made some friends at Patong Beach in Phuket, Thailand. The trio shared stories on the 91 degree afternoon and dipped in the 88 degree water. Clark took a vacation from his water conservation work for the Montecito Water District—his first vacation in two years, due to the drought. The 1977 Carpinteria High School grad commented that many things made him smile deeply on the trip.
Kutzner hits country 100
When Carol Kutzner touched down in Uruguay, she landed in the 100 th country she has visited over a lifetime of traveling. The former Carpinteria Junior High School teacher has been busy adding to her list and documenting her journey in CVN. Of Uruguay, she said, “That tiny country was so much more than what I expected: so beautfiul, friendly and scenic. I especially enjoyed the beach town of Punta del Este where the Atlantic Ocean and Plata River meet.” Having hit the century mark on foreign adventures, her next trip may be a cruise of the Great Lakes in the U.S.
