Council says yes on P and U
The bear facts
Litigation threats push city oil drilling ban to November By Peter DUgré
“When it comes to litigation, that’s an old threat, and we’ve never shied away from it. We should make the best decision given the information.”
The Carpinteria City Council played political action committee at its Oct. 13 meeting by officially endorsing Measure U, the $90 million Carpinteria school bond initiative, and Measure P, the Santa Barbara County ban on hydraulic fracturing among other oil extraction techniques. Although on a roll, the council was unable to find consensus on its third heady topic, whether to ban oil drilling in Carpinteria, specifically at Venoco Inc.’s ––Mayor property, where the company has applied to drill.
Brad Stein
Litigation threats
City Councilman Al Clark had proposed addressing whether to change zoning at Venoco’s Dump Road Oil and Gas Processing Plant earlier in the year, and since then Venoco’s application for its Paredon Project has been deemed complete by city hall, clearing it to begin the long approval process. At the Oct. 13 meeting, city staff said that as part of ongoing analysis of city zoning codes, there are several options to alter the zoning code in ways to either ban drilling there or to more closely regulate drilling projects. Venoco’s property is zoned coastal dependent industrial, which allows it to conduct operations serving the offshore oil platforms. Its zoning designation also currently allows it to drill for oil. The council could alter zoning in several ways, either by prohibiting oil drilling at coastal dependent industrial sites or by changing the zone of the site altogether. Several oil industry representatives and Venoco’s local Vice President Ian Livett addressed the council and stated in no uncertain terms that acting to prohibit drilling on the property would induce litigation. Livett characterized the timeliness of the city’s analysis of the company’s zoning as “a direct attack on Venoco’s application,” and said changes “would force Venoco to take all measures necessary to protect its property.” Venoco’s Paredon Project, a plan to drill into both onshore and offshore oil and gas reservoirs from the Carpinteria processing facility on Dump Road, has been

Tim Gallup and his fiancée were driving to their home on MontValMar Ranch when they noticed this black bear in a tree alongside the road. gallup used a zoom lens to shoot the photo, and reported that the bear was about 15 to 20 feet up in the oak.
Black bear sightings continue in foothills A few weeks after a Carpinteria woman survived a black bear attack off Highway 150, reports of new bear sightings have cropped up. MontValMar Ranch residents reported a black bear perched in a tree between 11:30 p.m. on Oct. 10 and early evening on Oct. 11. Karen Burns, who informed Coastal View News of the sighting, said she had reported the bear to Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department and California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which did not investigate. MontValMar Ranch is about 1/2 mile west of Carpinteria High School on Foothill Road. Additionally, regular Franklin Trail hiker Jenny Cota saw a bear on the trail at around 6 a.m. on Oct. 9. The bear was on switchbacks about 1/2 mile from the top of the trail, and its back was as wide as the trail, she said. “He turned his head to look back, grunted and kept walking,” Cota commented. She and her companion had seen flashlights ahead of them on the trail and called out to fellow hikers. They then decided to hike down, and later realized that the bear had slipped in between them and the other hikers, who were only a couple switchbacks ahead. Cota said she still plans to hike the trail, but not as early.

While hiking, make noise to avoid a surprise encounter with a bear. • Never approach a bear or pick up a bear cub. • If you encounter a bear, do not run; instead, face the animal, make noise and try to appear as large as possible. • If attacked, fight back. • Keep a close watch on children, and teach them what to do if they encounter a bear. • If a bear attacks a person, immediately call 9-1-1. •

December Stroll aims to keep holiday dollars local
Gearing up for what retailers hope will be a busy holiday shopping season, Carpinteria First is inviting businesses to take part in a new local promotion called December Stroll & Shop, Wine & Dine. The promotion designates Wednesday nights, Dec. 3, 10 and 17, for retailers to stay open until 8 p.m. to encourage local shopping. To move forward with the promotion, however, Carpinteria First is waiting to secure the participation of at least 30 Carpinteria merchants, restaurants and galleries. If the threshold is met, participants will enjoy free advertising, live music and a wandering Santa. Additionally, another promotion, Small Business Saturday, is in the works for Nov. 29, and Carpinteria First will kick off the month with First Friday entertainment on Wullbrandt Way, featuring the Curtis Studio Dancers, on Dec. 5. Businesses that wish to take part in the December Stroll should email Carpinteria First Chair Pat Kistler at ibnkist@cox.net.
Carpinteria man busted for child pornography
A 24-year-old Carpinteria resident was arrested on Oct. 7 and booked into Santa Barbara County Jail on charges of possession of child pornography. An investigation that started on Sept. 23 pointed detectives to Carpinterian Giovanni Gonzalez, who was allegedly posing as a 14-year-old girl online and using his false identity to entice his victims into sending him nude photos or videos of themselves. Gonzalez then traded the images online. Investigators traced his Internet Protocol (IP) address to his residence on the 4900 block of Carpinteria Avenue. When detectives contacted Gonzalez, they found him to be in possession of hundreds of images of child pornography. Gonzalez is being held on $100,000 bail and is booked on the following charges: obscene depiction of a minor, depiction of sexual conduct of a child under 14 years of age, use of an underage person for obscene matter, possession or control of more than 600 images of child pornography and invasion of privacy with a camcorder.

Buildings are on the rise at the Peoples’ Self-Help Housing property on Via Real.
Casas de las Flores takes shape
Peoples’ Self-Help Housing Project’s 43-unit affordable housing development on Via Real is making steady progress toward its anticipated fall of 2015 completion. Two of the residential buildings have been framed and are being drywalled, plumbed and wired. The first floor of the community center has also been framed. Onsite sewer is complete, and the storm drains are nearly complete. Formerly the home of Carpinteria Camper Park, a neighborhood known for its squalid living quarters, the 2.5-acre property at 4096 Via Real will soon include a large youth learning center with classrooms and computer lab, offices for property manager and social workers, clinic space and community meeting room with a commercial kitchen. The $15 million project will also include a playground, walking path, open space and bioswale area.

Catalyst for Cats raffle supports local efforts
executive director for The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County.
Catalyst for Cats, Inc. a local all-volunteer cat advocacy group, will hold its annual Cat’s Meow Raffle drawing on National Feral Cat Day, Oct. 16, at 5:30 p.m. at Coffee Cat in downtown Santa Barbara. The event is one of hundreds taking place across the country to advocate for trap-neuter-return (TNR) to end cat overpopulation and to call for a stop to the killing of cats in animal control pounds and shelters. Since its inception in 1990, Catalyst for Cats has been active in Carpinteria using TNR to control feral cat populations. “TNR has been very successful in Carpinteria,” noted Carpinterian David Morris, board member of the nonprofit, “but we must be vigilant because it only takes one cat to start the vicious breeding cycle.” Prizes for the raffle include a weekend getaway at a Lake Tahoe Condo, a month’s membership at the Cathedral Oaks Tennis Club, a round of golf at Glen Annie Golf Club and a stay at the Historic Upham Hotel. For raffle tickets, call Belinda Burns at 688-6359.

School bonds have historic precedence
In 1947, I entered first grade at Aliso School—a school built with bond money approved by the members of our community. In 1951, I entered Main School, which was funded through a bond approved by the voters of our community. In 1955, I entered Carpinteria High School (present CMS). The school was built in 1930 with a bond approved by the citizens of our community. Also in 1955, a new field house, home ec building, a new wood shop, and a new ag shop were opened, all built because a bond was approved by the voters of this community. My experiences are not unique. If you attended a public school, it was built by bond money. Everyone has a different take on bond issues, but it amazes me how some things just stay the same. The Nov. 29, 1929 issue of “EL RINCON” (the high school paper that served students and community members) was devoted to stories dealing with the upcoming bond election. The bond was to pay for the construction of a new high school (current CMS facility). The paper answered several questions that people had submitted. Here are three of them. Q: “Isn’t the amount of $80,000, as asked for, all out of reason for such a small community as Carpinteria?” A: “No. Comparison with neighboring communities indicates that this amount is very moderate.” Q: “Why has an enormous auditorium that seats 800 people been designed?” A: “It is designed primarily for a standard gymnasium and incidentally will seat 800 in portable chairs.” Q: “Are present study conditions suit-

able and healthful?” A: “No!” The article then lists all the inadequacies. Sound familiar? When I was in the Army, I served with the First Infantry Division. The motto was “No mission too difficult, no sacrifice too great, duty first.” We know our mission—to provide the best education for our children. Vote yes on Measure U.
Lou Panizzon Carpinteria
Vote for the kids and the community
In 1992, my parents, Roger and Sally Green, moved our family to Carpinteria. Not a day goes by that I don’t thank them for bringing us to a place with the type of strong and supportive community that you only find written in fictional books or screenplays. As an alumna of LAUSD, coming to CUSD was like a walk on the beautiful beach we live at. And yet, I asked myself
why so many families that lived here sent their children elsewhere. Last year I served on the CUSD Facilities Committee, which was made up of Carpinteria volunteers knowledgeable about lighting, architecture, infrastructure and the facilities themselves. We all saw firsthand the dilapidating state of our facilities and the barely minimum standard of 21st Century infrastructure. The numbers used for the Measure U Bond were not just pulled out of a hat. For 18 months, many people helped to structure this measure, delineating what was absolutely needed for student health, welfare and ultimately enrichment of education. With this, I now strongly advocate for the necessary facility and infrastructure improvements that Measure U will provide for our district. While I can appreciate the argument against Measure U of property taxes being raised, and it not being fair for the burden being put on property owners, this is a public school system and there is no other way for these necessary improvements to occur. Believe me, I am known for my fundraising efforts
in this community, and if I could throw a Paddle Out or a Relay to raise $90 million, I would. I am advocating for Carpinteria, for 2,300 students, so they can someday turn to their parents and families in their future and say, “Thank you for letting us live in Carpinteria, a community that gives to us and improved our education by improving our school facilities and bringing the infrastructure to the 21st Century.” On Nov. 4, I am voting for Carpinteria. I am voting for the 2,300 students who cannot vote nor raise the funds themselves. I am voting yes on Measure U.
Beth Cox Carpinteria
Measure U is no salary supplement
School Board Member Alison Livett’s letter (“Measure U frees funds for salaries,” Oct. 9) indicated that passing Measure U would free up money for teachers’ salaries. I believe the district must establish a dedicated account to save funds for future capital improvement projects. The classrooms and infrastructure in the district are in need of upgrading and repair. These repairs will improve the learning environment for students and staff. Some of the improvements are due to new technology that requires infrastructure upgrades. But some of the repairs are due to lack of maintenance and putting off major repair as unfunded deferred maintenance. Funds must be set aside out of the normal operating budget to maintain the

facility for the future. Due to budgetary restraints, administration was unable to set aside funds required to maintain the facilities, which resulted in the need of this bond issue. Studies have shown that every dollar not spent in ongoing maintenance results in $4 in deferred capital improvements liability. From the day any modernization is completed, depreciable items should be identified and funds are set aside monthly for their ultimate replacement. Ms. Livett’s letter indicated that the bond money used on facilities will free up budget funds for teachers’ salaries. This thinking is exactly how our schools are in their current condition. The overall annual operating budget must include staff salaries, emergency repairs and set aside funds for capital improvements. Without budget set asides, 40 years from now we will be in the same situation as we are today. I support Measure U. I hope the district will set aside funds required to make the future repairs required to keep the facilities current.

U preps kids for the future
When planning for my children’s future, I know the most critical decision I can make on their behalf is ensuring they receive the best education possible. Right now, our Carpinteria schools are in desperate need of major repairs—ranging from asbestos and lead paint abatement to fire safety and modernizing classrooms—to prepare students for the high-tech world they will be learning and working in every day. These issues will not repair themselves and are worsening every year. I support Measure U because I want our schools to be the best option for my children’s education. Voting yes on Measure U will provide the funding needed to complete necessary repairs and upgrades to make Carpinteria schools competitive and protect the quality of education our children receive. As a Carpinterian, I am proud of our city and want Carpinteria schools to reflect the quality of life and commitment to our youth that we share as a community. Vote yes on Measure U because it is the right thing to do.

Local oil is the safe bet
The news coverage on Measure P has failed to talk about how important it is that we produce oil and gas domestically. We know now more than ever how important it is to keep things local, so how could it be environmentally friendly to ship our oil in from half way around the world? Here in California, we have some of the strongest and most heavily enforced environmental regulations in the world. We should be continuing our production here, where the production is safe, instead of buying foreign oil and shipping it here, at great environmental expense. Santa Barbara County has been safely producing onshore oil for over 100 years. Measure P will prohibit future onshore oil and gas production, making us more dependent on foreign oil. Vote no on Measure P.
Verna H. Gindoff Carpinteria
Water worries dictate yes on P
I spent last evening at the Carpinteria City Council meeting listening to both sides of the Measure P issue. I am voting yes on P for a simple reason: water. I don’t trust that fracking technology is safe and immune from accidents. I don’t think anyone would foul our drinking water on purpose, but the oil industry is run by humans, and miscalculations and mistakes do happen. That is my concern. For example, last week it was found that 3 billion gallons of contaminated wastewater from fracking had been illegally dumped into the Kern County aquifer. Why, so close to the election, has this disaster been so unreported? Read about it at the Center for Biological Diversity website (search “wastewater”) Ultimately, I will be gone from this beautiful planet in 25 years. My concerns are for my children and for future generations. Pumping tons of cancercausing chemicals into the ground that could contaminate our drinking water is not worth it. We can agree to disagree, but we all need clean drinking water to survive. Please vote yes on Measure P.
Maggie Targoni Carpinteria
A vote for P is better safe than sorry
For those who are undecided on Measure P, there is a simple question to ask yourself: what are the consequences of an error in the outcome? Proponents of the measure say that it is not intended to shut down existing safe oil extraction in the county, while opponents say that, if passed, it would end virtually all oil production. If the measure passes and the opponents are correct, the problem could be remedied relatively easily by altering the law. That might be cumbersome or time-consuming, but it would not be a catastrophe. If the measure fails to pass and oil companies use extraction methods that contaminate our groundwater, it could take decades and huge amounts of money to fix and would likely have serious effects on health, property values and many other things. It may be a cliché, but the old advice that it’s better to be safe than sorry applies well in this case.

Don’t believe the lies, protect nature
I reflect back to my beautiful childhood, living in Rancho Canada Larga, and my surroundings with nature. Sadness fills my heart when I remember the destruction caused by the oil industry. Oil wells began to sprout up all over the eastern part of Ventura and what is now Ventura Avenue. The beautiful trees and flowers, the birds and the sounds and smells of nature were replaced by pollution and abandoned oil wells. My beautiful childhood environment disappeared. All I have left are the memories of what used to be Rancho Canada Larga. That beauty is gone. I now live in Carpinteria and want to preserve its beauty. Take this short trip if you want to see the pollution and destruction caused by the oil industry. Starting in downtown Carpinteria, turn right from Carpinteria Avenue onto Dump Road. Go to the beach, and look at both sides. Ask yourself, is this what I want more of in Carpinteria? Perhaps we
could name the beaches that would be contaminated “Dump Beaches.” Next, take the freeway toward Ventura. Before and after you get to La Conchita, look toward the mountains and observe what oil has done to the mountains and nature. Next, take Highway 33, toward Ojai, travel to Canada Larga Road and observe the contamination on both sides of the freeway. Here is the Trophy of Contamination, the abandoned oil refinery. There are many other sites throughout California that have been ruined by the oil industry. If you haven’t seen enough of the contamination left by the oil industry, then you have a problem. Don’t believe all of the lies you are being told by the “Contamination Gurus”! Protect nature; vote yes on Measure P
J. Alex Pulido, Ph.D. Carpinteria
Don’t make oil production the boogeyman
In the Oct. 9 edition of Coastal View News, a published letter to the editor argued passionately, though inaccurately, for Proposition P. The letter implied that it was necessary to guarantee a healthy environment, prevent oil spills, provide uncontaminated drinking water and to deny foul profits to the evil oil companies. It was interesting, though fact-free, and comparable to those earlier beliefs that metal plows would poison the earth, speeds of greater than 20 miles per hour would cause cardiac arrest or that witchcraft could control the weather. Of course, essentially nothing is absolutely risk-free. Fracking has not been used locally and is not even proposed, apparently due to the local geology. But it is conducted elsewhere at a very much deeper level than that in which groundwater is found and has never been found to contaminate the groundwater. The oil spill in the Santa Barbara Channel was indeed a disaster. It involved about as much oil as is released from underwater seeps over several years, though all at once. What evidence of it remains today? Wealth, for which energy is essential, is necessary to maintain a healthy environment. Our international balance of payments and standard of living are dependent on people, such as those working in the petroleum industry, to create such wealth. They are rewarded with their job. There is currently a war on energy production. The writer is free to abstain for petroleum use, but it is an error to promote policies which deprive the rest of us.
Measure P sense and sensibility
We attended the Oct.13 City Hall meeting to listen to both sides present the facts and the myths surrounding Measure P. To begin, it was really inspiring to see the overwhelming turnout of local and non-local residents that were given a forum to speak about why and how they would vote on the measure. Thanks to the city council for putting on such an informative event. We learned that the oil industry wants to get as much access to fracking, acid and high pressure extraction of our Santa Barbara county oil resources. We also learned that out of state markets and China have bought into our resources and that California would not benefit from the oil extracted here. The drilling would be putting our most valuable resource, water, at high-risk. Information just out revealed that almost 3 billion gallons of toxic oil industry wastewater have been illegally dumped into central California aquifers that supply drinking water and farming irrigation. Santa Barbara County cannot take that risk. Thanks to the city council members for their sensibility to support yes on Measure P and protect our water.

Fountain folly at Seaside Park
Everyone knows we are in a serious drought. All Carpinteria residents have been directed to conserve water both inside and outside our homes. People turn off fountains to save water amid a drought. Cities throughout the southland have set examples by shutting down their fountains. The magnificent Getty Center in Los Angeles and the Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades have drained their fountains; our Carpinteria Water District office shut down its fountain. Yet a new fountain/ water feature has just been installed and activated at Seaside Park next to the Friends of the Library on Carpinteria Avenue. Aesthetically it looks like a broken pipe spraying water skyward from the center of a plug of concrete coated with uninviting ridges. There is no place for birds to bathe; no basin for dogs to get a drink. It is surrounded by loose polished black stones onto which the water splashes, evaporates and disappears. It isn’t approachable. It isn’t attractive. It isn’t necessary. It serves no practical purpose. What it does, however, is demonstrate a lack of good sense in these dry times.

Richard Casarez 4/2/1946 – 10/4/2014
Richard Casarez, aka Peach, aka Richie, aka GP, entered into eternal peace on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2014. Richard was born April 2, 1946 in Los Angeles, Calif. In 1977, he made Carpinteria his home where he worked as a tradesman in construction and as a painter. He will be deeply missed by the ones he laughed with, lived for and loved—his wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and family members as well as many loving friends. Richard thoroughly enjoyed life. He loved going fishing at Mussel Shoals, bike riding around town, going to garage sales and just hanging out with friends. We thank God for the gift of his life and the blessing of the time we spent with him. I will thank the Lord at all times. My mouth will always praise him. My soul will boast about the Lord. Those who are oppressed will hear it and rejoice. Praise the Lord’s greatness with me. Let us highly honor his name together.

Ask the candidates
Election season is here, leaving the airwaves and bandwidths crowded with political messaging. The Carpinteria front, however, is relatively quiet. Of all the local decisionmaking bodies, only the Board of Education will land on the ballot. Voters are tasked with choosing two of the following three candidates to best represent their vision for Carpinteria Unified School District. Coastal View News aims to help educate voters with three week’s worth of candidate answers to relevant questions. Read up and don’t forget to vote.
Didn’t catch last week’s “Ask the Candidates”? Visit coastalview.com to read an introductory statement by each candidate and the answer to the following question: “If Measure U passes, taxpayers will fund $90 million in infrastructure improvements within the district. How should the board ensure these funds are best spent?”

The relationship between the teachers union and the administration has been marked by conflict in recent years. What role should the board play in reducing discord between the two parties? Superintendent Paul Cordeiro and Union President Jay Hotchner clearly got off on the wrong foot soon after Cordeiro became superintendent with the incident involving then Carpinteria Middle School Principal Felicia Sexsmith. After Hotchner became a thorn in her side over homework and student discipline policy issues, Sexsmith responded by making job performance allegations. Ultimately she was unable to prove these allegations that embroiled the district in a legal dispute (PERB Case No. LA-CE-5045-E). As the principal’s direct supervisor, the superintendent implicitly gets some of the blame for this. I believe the problem that occurred and still is occurring is with communication. It is too easy to dismiss someone using violent language out-of-hand while he/ she may still have a valid point. Finding constructive comment within such language is necessary to have a successful negotiation to the benefit of both students and teachers. More direct involvement of board members familiar with nonviolent communication techniques will be needed to mediate the discussion. I would like to have a serious discussion with union leaders and the administration over the possibility of changing the ratio of funds that go to the salary versus benefits. Currently, the teachers and other full-time employees enjoy excellent health benefits at the cost of lower than average salaries. This creates financial hardship for many teachers, particularly those who recently graduated college with heavy student loan debt. I think the district employees would be better served with good salaries and adequate health benefits with the option of “buying up” to a better heath plan.
inclusive vacations
In general, school board members are required by virtue of our positions to find a balance between the needs of the school system’s employees and the system’s customers, who are the students, parents and taxpayers. However, in collective bargaining, protecting the interests of students and taxpayers becomes paramount, as teachers and staff are represented by their unions. The fundamental purpose of the union is to protect the employment interests of its members. It is the primary function of management (which includes the board) to represent the teaching and learning of the entire district. It is important that we balance the needs of our students and parents with the interests of our teachers and staff. Normally these needs are in alignment but occasionally circumstances arise where perspectives are different. During periods of economic uncertainty, it is important that the board implement and maintain sound fiscal policies in order to ensure it does not get into a stressed financial condition. This ensures that we are able to provide a consistent learning environment for our students. The best way for the board to reduce discord with the union and management is by regularly listening to the interests of our staff, consistently communicating the administration’s position and keeping an open mind to compromise. We are the watchdogs for our community, ensuring that the students get the best education for the tax dollars spent. Education is not an item on our agenda—it is the only item!
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 4
My highest priority if I am elected is to help bridge the animosity between staff and the District Administration. I plan on doing this by recommending that the negotiating team participate in a mandated mediation training and that we look at the collective bargaining agreements from similar districts to gain some insight and find common ground. Every October, there is an opportunity for the bargaining team to attend a local conference together to work on setting the ground rules for negotiation. This should be a requirement for both sides of the team to attend. Additionally, the team should come together on a much more frequent basis to discuss items that are emerging, to be transparent, and to allow more ample time for brainstorming and fiscal planning. The biggest impasse currently between labor and administration is staff salary packages. As a former teacher and as an administrator, I understand both sides of the argument, but I truly believe that staff are the heart of our schools as they set the daily climate for the students and parents. Staff compensation packages should be equitable across districts in the state and be seriously considered in all collective bargaining discussions. Without highly qualified and competent staff, our students will not receive the education they deserve. Teachers have a huge responsibility and their wages should reflect that. While I also support the passing of a balanced, fiscally responsible budget, I believe that if we looked at all line items and warrants paid, and also sought information from neighboring districts on how they are able to increase wages, then we could come up with a satisfactory solution for all. This takes time, effort and a commitment by both sides. Budgets reflect what we value and our values have to be around human capital.

Scarier than Halloween
In the interest of full disclosure, let me say up front this column is about climate change and Measure P. So if you’re a climate denier or a fan of fracking, you may want to go directly to Club Scene or Halos and Pitchforks. Here’s a nightmare that scares me way more than a phalanx of little vampires: The coming rainy season a dud, a moist spritz like last year’s rainfall, and the ones before that. Lake Cachuma reduced to pond scum. The South Coast running out of water. Trees dying, the big ones keeling over first. Three of the grand Italian stone pines shading Anapamu are goners already. Every redwood is sad and stressed. Carpinteria’s Torrey pine looks pinched. Yards are weed patches, lawns as dead as cardboard. Beautiful Santa Barbara and its satellite cities hunkering down under an endless summer. The hot breath of the desert chafing the mountain tops, fluffing up tinder-dry chaparral. Winds and fire. And no water, not from the state, not from the reservoirs. Desal on the way, but not yet. Smart people are ripping out lawns in favor of drought-tolerant plants. With average yearly rainfall of less than 20 inches, the South Coast is a semi-desert. Climate projections indicate that whatever weather we customarily get will increase in intensity. Cold winters colder, hot summers hotter, the snowbelt snowier, tropical storms fiercer, hurricanes bigger and stronger. Our land of little rain will get less rainfall over the long run, and the long run is what we need to plan for. Forget this year-to-year stuff, using up all the water there is, then praying for more. The Montecito Water District, which serves Summerland, is in danger of running flat out of water next year if an El Niño doesn’t drop some gully washers. Given the drought’s severity, it’s a puzzle to me why anyone would vote to turn over large of amounts of water to oil companies so they can suck up the last dregs of sludgy oil buried in our local shale. Measure P is designed to head off that kind of give-away. Cyclic steam injection, one of the high-intensity techniques increasingly used in our county, requires thousands of gallons of water heated to 500 degrees—every day for every well. That polluted water is permanently removed from the water table. It must be re-injected in the earth where it can contaminate local aquifers. One quart of oil can contaminate 250,000 gallons of water. Fracking, acidizing and cyclic steam operations are notorious for polluting groundwater. And cyclic steamed well casings have the highest incidence of failure. Ask Google if you don’t believe me. Does anyone really think that oil from this county is going to make gas prices cheaper locally? Check out the long trains of tanker cars already rolling along the UP tracks. Santa Barbara County oil isn’t used locally. It heads right out of the county to be refined and sold on the global market. Then there’s the CO2 issue. In New York last month 400,000 people were worried enough to stage a protest march over
stalled efforts to deal with climate change. There’s more heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the air now than in the last 850,000 years. And levels keep rising. The U.N. report on global warming predicts a gain of up to 4.8 degrees for this century. A hotter planet means more catastrophic weather, animal and plant extinctions and a warming, rising ocean. Animals are already on the move: Sparrows leaving for Canada, lynxes, marmots and picas moving up mountainsides to colder ground, fish displaced. Recently a fisherman friend told me he saw a hammerhead shark in the channel. Polar bears are disappearing with the melting sea ice, and we may live to see their extinction. Cyclic steam injection is the most carbon-intensive form of oil extraction there is. One company’s relatively small 136-well operation in Orcutt will generate 88,000 tons of emissions a year. That’s the equivalent of adding 17,000 cars to county roads. And it’s already a done deal. That one company has plans for 7,700 more wells, which could generate 5 million tons of greenhouse gas, the equivalent of 1 million cars per year. That’s not counting the pollution from transport, heavy trucks and trains. Then add to that the several thousand wells up for steaming in Cat Canyon and other fields. While the county planning commission just approved a plan to reduce greenhouse gases in the county’s unincorporated areas, their modest goals are wiped out many times over by that kind of CO2 increase from industrial sources, which aren’t covered in the county’s plan. Incentives to make buildings more energy efficient, although admirable, would be, as one commissioner put it, “a spit in the ocean.” Oil companies don’t contribute a penny to county coffers to offset harm to our air, water, roads and property values. County fire fighters responded to 400 spills and leaks from a single local oil company in the last decade. But there is no extraction tax in SB County. Only .7 percent of the county’s revenue comes from oil property taxes. Note the decimal point. A local oil boom, with as many as 10,000 new wells, could damage the real contributors to our tax base—agriculture, tourism, high tech industries and homeowners. Measure P doesn’t affect current wells and traditional drilling, in spite of what we’re told by an incessant stream of paid calls, mailers and TV ads. Several million dollars from outside oil interests can buy a lot of ads. But hopefully not a lot of votes. It pays to take a hard look at both sides of the issue. At the very least, check out the Measure P website: voteyesonp.org. One good thing: Summerland’s sweet little organic pumpkin patch on Lillie.

Double jeopardy
For one woman, the California Avocado Festival weekend was allegedly an occasion to seek blood, not guacamole. On Oct. 5, at two different local establishments, the 39-year-old was implicated in battery allegations. The first report was at a Carpinteria Avenue restaurant at around 4:30 p.m., where the victim was puzzled as to why she was attacked. The victim was returning from paying her tab, and before she could reach her table, the attacker began pulling her hair and scratched her shoulder. When the fight was broken up, the attacker allegedly uttered, “The next time I see you, I’m going to get you.” The victim’s only connection to the attacker centered around her boyfriend of eight years, whom the attacker had dated 23 years ago. The boyfriend said the attacker approached him, but he gave her the cold shoulder, which could have instigated the rage. By the time deputies arrived, the attacker had fled. However, a report of a fight two hours later at a Linden Avenue restaurant landed them the same suspect. Round two was a bathroom brawl. The victim, who had a scratch on her face, said the altercation began when the assailant emerged from a bathroom stall as a tandem with a friend. The attacker reportedly barked, “Are you making fun of me?” to the victim before punching her. The victim said she had been seated, waiting for the two women to emerge from the stall, and didn’t have time to stand up before being slugged. The bar manager entered the restroom to find the women entangled with each other and separated them. He said the suspect was “wasted drunk,” and landed another punch after he separated the two. The victim signed a citizens arrest form. Deputies caught up with the assailant up the road as the Avofest was being cleaned up. She was familiar to officers and had a fresh scratch on her face. The other woman was the aggressor, she said, and she didn’t even throw a punch. Deputies asked how the other woman had sustained the scratch, and she reportedly said, “I don’t scratch; I punch.” Deputies moved in to arrest the woman for battery and public intoxication, but she reportedly pulled and kicked as they attempted to cuff her. She had to be pinned against a planter before being cuffed and transported to jail.
Naked in the bush
Deputies investigated a report of a naked man in the bushes of the Carpinteria Salt Marsh at 9:17 a.m. on Oct. 6 and found a shirtless man riding a bicycle who fit the description of the reportedly naked man. In conversation with the man, deputies found him to be fidgety and to have constricted pupils, two symptoms of meth use. They also clocked his heart

rate at 130 beats per minute. Even though he claimed to not have used meth for two weeks, deputies arrested him for allegedly being under the influence. In the man’s backpack, deputies found two magazines: El dinero y El sexo and American girl, a combination of reading choices that led deputies to believe the man might have predatory tendencies toward minors.

Plaza to bring feminine figure of the Wild West to life Q&A with Calamity Jane playwright By PEtEr Dugré
Catherine Ann Jones was fed up with the weak territory female characters occupied in the imagination of Broadway playwrights in the 1970s when she decided to stop acting and to start writing. She penned “On the Edge” about Virginia Woolf at that point. The story of Woolf’s struggle with madness in a post World War II world gone mad won her a National Endowment for the Arts Award. She followed that early success with other titles such as “Calamity Jane,” written in 1982, which she has written both as a musical and as the play that will be staged at Plaza Playhouse Theater over two weekends between Oct. 17 and 26. She calls Calamity “a free independent woman who paid the price.” Jones later became a screenwriter in Hollywood, and stuck to social and spiritual content; “I had an odd and tiny niche, because I’d only do socially conscious stories,” she said. She worked on the show “Touched by an Angel,” and also had a parallel career as a teacher. Her books, “The Way of Story: The Craft & Soul of Writing” and “Heal Your Self with Writing,” are commonly used in classrooms, and she won the prestigious Nautilus Book Award in 2014. For more biographical information and courses, visit wayofstory.com. Calamity Jane lore has survived the test of time. What makes her such a fascinating figure of the American frontier? She embodied the Wild West but as a woman. When you think of cowboys, you think of Wild Bill Hickok; you think of Buffalo Bill Cody. As a woman she was doing what men were doing back then. She was an Indian Scout, a stagecoach driver. She was ahead of her time. And she was a crack shot as part of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.
You’ve said it’s important to you to be able to separate her true story from myths of the Wild West. How does the true Martha Jane Canary compare to the larger-than-life Calamity Jane? These were historical characters. She really lived. Then there were the newspapers and the penny novels that would deal with these characters and embellish them. One of the themes of the play is myth versus reality. Often what really happened is more interesting than what’s romanticized. The play is the true story, not the Doris Day Hollywood version. There’s a lot of comedy in the play and also a rougher side. Some of it can be sad. You’ll laugh, but you might also have to wipe a handkerchief on your eyes. What lessons can today’s audiences learn from Calamity Jane’s story? Why does she still resonate? I wrote this in the early ’80s when the feminist movement was strong at the time. She was a real crusader. She embodied that Wild West spirit of expansion, courage and stubbornness, going where you want. There were no boundaries, and you were doing what you can do. One reason we love these stories so much is the freedom and independence that we no longer have. I’m not a big feminist, but quite simply she was just an amazing, larger-than-life character. You’ve worked for television and have acted on Broadway. What appeals to you about a production at a small venue like Plaza Playhouse Theater? I have been impressed by the (Calamity Jane troupe) being so committed. They love theater. It reminds me of when I started out in small theaters off Broadway. Obviously you don’t do it for monetary reasons, but for the love of theater. That’s contagious. I went to rehearsal and you

just feel they love theater, so you have to love it. Also the Plaza’s long history makes it a good venue for Calamity Jane. It gives it that old-fashioned feeling. I’ve seen a couple of shows there, and they did really good work. When they asked (to produce the play), I didn’t hesitate. If you were a fly on the wall outside of the theater following the show, what reaction from an audience member would you find most pleasing? This is the fifth production of this particular play. What I love to see in an audience is when they laugh a lot and they have tears in their eyes at appropriate moments. There’s so much life in this play and in Calamity. Theater is life. It’s not something shot and a then a year later you see it on a screen. There’s nothing like the live theater experience. Following a showing of the Calamity Jane musical, I was outside and a woman turned to me, not knowing I was the writer, and she said, “I’ve been going to Broadway
Catherine Ann Jones said that when Plaza Playhouse Theater asked to produce her play, “Calamity Jane,” she did not hesitate in giving them the green light. The show will be staged on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between Oct. 17 and 26. shows for years, and this is the best I’ve ever seen.” That’s pretty thrilling. I was then a young writer. Those are the rewards. When people say, “I loved it.” Theater is an exchange of love, a kind of love affair.

When my instructors in medical school were teaching me “medicalese,” they insisted it was for clarity’s sake. They argued that using foreign sounding terms for seemingly commonplace signs and symptoms helped to eliminate confusion. Let’s take this fortnight’s topic, for example. Everyone knows that bed-wetting refers to urinating in bed. But healthcare providers use the term nocturnal enuresis because on the off chance that we meet the one person out there who thinks bed wetting is from profuse sweating or washing a bed whole, there won’t be any confusion. Then again, when it comes to people who wash beds whole, there will likely be other areas of confusion. Enuresis is pronounced in-your-EE-sis. As in, Edith asks her brother where the emphasis goes in her name, and he says, “In your ‘E,’ sis.” In the interest of specificity, we’ll be talking about primary nocturnal enuresis, meaning children who have never had dry nights consistently. Secondary nocturnal enuresis, meaning children who had dry nights but have had a relapse, is a topic for an entirely different and even more complicated article. This is not to be confused with general election enuresis which politicians get every other November. To understand why someone would have nocturnal enuresis, we must first understand why most people don’t have nocturnal enuresis. After all, we’re all born bed wetters. So what happens to make that stop? The answer is multifaceted like a Shakespearean play. (Except this one would be called “The Taming of the Pee.”) First, the body starts making a hormone that slows down urine production when the body is asleep. Second, the bladder learns to ring the special yellow telephone in the brain where the night watch person asks it if it knows what time it is and then boots up the body to get it up to pee. And third, the sleep is not so deep as to sleep right through the special yellow phone’s ring. Children who have difficulty with bed wetting can have one, two or all three factors at play. This can become a rather frustrating situation for children and parents alike as more and more of the child’s peers have dry nights. But as distressing as bed wetting is, it is usually a matter
of time before it goes away regardless of treatment. In fact, every year, 15 percent of bedwetters start having dry nights all on their own. In the meantime, there are many things that people have tried, such as limiting liquids in the evening and awakening the child to urinate in the middle of the night. None of these interventions tend to be very effective, but they are certainly worth trying. Overall, bed alarms are the most effective treatment measure for permanently treating nocturnal enuresis. A bed alarm is an alarm that has sensors in the bed and goes off when the sensors detect moisture. This awakens the child so he/she can use the bathroom. The drawback is that the alarm tends to wake up the whole house, and it takes a few months of using the bed alarm for it to work. But when it does, bedwetting does not usually recur. Then the rest of the family can seek therapy for their insomnia. There are also medications that can keep the bladder from spasming or keep the kidneys from making too much urine at night. These medications can be very effective. However, the bedwetting can recur once the medications are stopped. A consultation with a child’s primary care provider can help elucidate treatment options. So to all those parents and children trying to figure out how to achieve and maintain dry nights, hang in there. It’s really only a matter of time. But in the meantime, consider some behavioral techniques. If those don’t work, the bed alarm can do the trick if everyone is willing to have multiple rude awakenings in the middle of the night—provided that everyone else doesn’t wind up needing to use the bathroom, causing a line down the hall at 3 a.m. But I digress.

Warriors win 35-14 in Temecula
Next week: Warrior girls tennis eyes playoff spot October 16 - 22, 2014
BY PETER DUGRÉ
Barely any time had ticked off the clock at Rancho Christian High School in Temecula when Fernando Martinez crossed the goal line on a kick return touchdown to give Carpinteria High School football a lead it would never relent. Following the score on the opening kickoff, the Warriors built a 28-0 advantage by halftime and ended the game ahead 35-14 in improving their season record to 4-2 on Oct. 11. Coach Ben Hallock commented that the Warrior defense made impressive plays early in the first half to seize control of the contest. Timmy Jimenez forced a turnover on downs on Rancho’s first possession with his tackle. Later, Omar Miranda recorded an interception. Richie Gallardo, who had handed the ball to Martinez to help spring the kick-return touchdown, contributed his own 76-yard running touchdown in the first half. “Overall we played very well,” Hallock said. “They had a good team, good athletes and will have a very good program in the near future.” The Warriors will play their final game before Tri-Valley League competition begins on Friday, Oct. 17 at Cantwell Sacred-Heart in Montebello. Hallock said the final tune up before league will be a tough test. Cantwell has a group of playmakers that will be hard to keep up with. The Warriors will need to remember defensive assignments, get after the football and tackle well, he commented. Offensively, the team will further develop the running game and its tactic of possession football, in which the key is to limit the opposition’s time of possession and chances to score.
Warrior running back Aaron Vargas shuttles the ball up the middle of the scrum in a 35-14 Warrior win.
Rams top Warriors in Frontier showdown
Cate girls volleyball took out Carpinteria High School in three sets, proving that the Rams are head and shoulders above the rest of Frontier League volleyball teams. Both teams entered the match at CHS with perfect 5-0 marks in Frontier League play, but the Rams made quick work of the Warriors (25-15, 25-21, 25-11). Leading Cate’s attack were Delaney Mayfield and Maddie Becker for a combined 27 kills and only four hitting errors. Jillian Rogers had five kills and tough serving. The Warriors tied the second set at 19-19 before Cate rattled off a 6-2 streak to capture the set victory. “In the third set, the Rams turned up the intensity dial to take the final set and finish out the match,” commented Ram coach Greg Novak. For the Warriors, outside hitter Shannon Callaway led the team with seven kills and five digs. Middle blocker Jamie Brooks had two blocks and three kills. Gabriela Rigonati had three kills and three digs in her first varsity contest. Cate School is first place in Frontier League and is the top ranked team in Division 4A girls volleyball.

Ram 8-man football loses to Thacher
Cate School 8-man football opened its Condor League schedule with a 42-22 defeat at the hands of rival Thacher School. The Rams rallied hard in the second half, but could not make up for an early 22-0 deficit in Ojai on Oct. 11. The Rams trailed 22-0 at halftime, but two scores by Ram quarterback Clinton Hall brought the team back into the contest at the start of the third quarter. Hall scored a third time and Oliver Welch hit a field goal to bring Cate to within eight points at 30-22. At that point, however, “Thacher found an extra gear to put the game away,” according to assistant coach Dave Soto. The defense helped Cate get back
into the game in the second half. Masaki Kondo, Pierce Lundt, Jacob Mayer and Warren Giles provided a push up front to pressure the quarterback. Their efforts led to interceptions by Rams Kian O’Connor and Robbie Preston. “While it is disappointing to drop a game like this, our season is far from over. We have three league games left, so we still have an opportunity to make some noise. I’m proud of our resiliency. We have had our fair share of injuries this season and our guys keep grinding through it,” Soto stated. Cate plays next at home on Saturday, Oct. 18 against undefeated Orcutt Academy. Kick off is scheduled for 3 p.m.

COUNCIL: Continued from page 1
in various stages of application for 10 years. It was the subject of Measure J in 2010 and voters rejected it by a 70 percent to 30 percent margin. The company’s local operations manager Larry Huskins echoed the sentiment. “Because of potential litigation here, I think the taxpayers wouldn’t want to pay for the costs …,” he stated of the council’s potential action. Several more locals urged the council to ban drilling at the site, which would eliminate all oil drilling projects in the city of Carpinteria unless new sites were found and rezoned to allow drilling. Carpinteria city attorneys explained that if the city bans drilling, it would be vulnerable to litigation. Attorneys said the city’s zoning powers are broad according to California law, but the current proposal is in no way bulletproof. Local resident Jim Taylor, who is also Vice President of Carpinteria Valley Association, called on the city to act. “If the people of this city cannot trust elected representatives to prevent a new, highly industrial activity in the city, then what good is the city?” he asked. Vice Mayor Gregg Carty proposed intensifying local drilling oversight and regulation but not banning drilling. The other council members all wanted further information on litigation risks specifically tied to actions it could take, so the council decided to postpone any decision until its Nov. 24 meeting. In conclusion, Mayor Brad Stein said, “When it comes to litigation, that’s an old threat, and we’ve never shied away from it. We should make the best decision given the information.”
Yes on P
In a split 3-2 vote, the city council decided to endorse Measure P following intense public debate. Vice Mayor Gregg Carty and Councilman Wade Nomura voted against endorsing the measure. They said the measure is too divisive and would not fairly represent Carpinteria’s entire populace. Nomura said he felt the action was “outside (the council’s) purview” and could potentially “alienate 50 percent of the voters of the community.” The Water Guardians, the group supporting the county-wide ban on fracking, acidizing and cyclic-steam injection as techniques for oil extraction, brought
Measure P to the ballot because the oil industry techniques contaminate groundwater, they say. Oil industry representatives and others opposed to Measure P argued that the Water Guardians are campaigning based on fear of fracking all while the technique is not even used in Santa Barbara County. Cyclic-steam injection, however, is a commonly used technique in the county, but industry representatives argued that no problems have arisen from cyclic-steam injection in its 50-year history. Industry representatives at the city council meetings equated banning cyclic-steam injection on county land to a shut down of the oil industry, an important part of the North County economy and labor force. Ultimately, Mayor Brad Stein and councilmembers Al Clark and Fred Shaw voted to add the City of Carpinteria to list of endorsements for Measure P. The council majority agreed with the Water Guardians’ position that the oil extraction techniques jeopardize groundwater supplies, which know no city limits. Stein called support for risky techniques in North County short sighted. “Once water is gone, it’s gone, and there’s no price to put on that,” Stein said.
Classic or modern? a monthly muse
MELINDA WITTWER Whether I call it a spur-of-the-moment trip to San Francisco or a weekend getaway or a last-minute road trip to check out a vintage Corvette, it still was a threeday adventure. I got on Hotwire and booked a hotel near Walnut Creek for the first night and a hotel in downtown San Francisco for the second night—both at reasonable rates for what we got. Setting out from Carpinteria, I entered the address in my Honda’s GPS and off we drove. Even though I do like my GPS, I still am old school enough to want a real paper map in my hands to unfold and check out the complete route. At least with a paper map I can’t hit the wrong button and end up in some program I can’t get out of. But this time, unfortunately, my California and Bay Area maps were left at home neatly filed in our bookshelves. In spite of my oversight, we did arrive without detours at our first hotel, which was so fresh and contemporary, I felt few travelers had previously used our room. The hotel’s business center had ample computers for guests to use, and since our room was well insulated, the only thing I heard was my husband’s snoring. Also there were so many outlets in the bedside lamps, we could have plugged in both our phones, my Kindle, and three hair dryers if we’d wanted. Ample parking, nearby restaurants and a great selection of TV channels helped make this hotel a winner. The next day we headed to downtown San Francisco and the Palace Hotel. Now I’ve stayed at historic hotels before, but this was like stepping back in time while keeping all our modern creature comforts. The hotel dates back to before the San Francisco earthquake, and although this building survived the quake, it was quickly destroyed by the resulting fires.

Yes on U
In another 3-2 vote, the city endorsed Measure U, urging voters to support Carpinteria Unified School District in its request for $90 million dollars to upgrade local schools. Councilmen Al Clark and Wade Nomura opposed endorsing the measure. Nomura said he does not think it’s the council’s place to make political endorsements. Clark opposed the bond as being too big and too general. “I have a problem with the lack of specificity. I’d like to see a bond measure with a list of specific projects and a list of specific costs,” Clark said. Nomura said he personally will vote for Measure U. Supporters of Measure U were numerous at the meeting. Schools in Carpinteria were all constructed over 50 years ago and desperately need technological and structural upgrades, many said. If enacted, Measure U will add $47 per $100,000 of assessed property value to property taxes within CUSD. “Having safe and up to date school facilities is something we should expect. It’s a reflection on our community,” Carty said.
The owners decided the Palace would be rebuilt to be as grand as or even grander than the hotels of Europe. The main dining room, The Garden Court, is lit by crystal chandeliers, centered with an enormous bouquet of fresh flowers, and covered by arching panels of glass. As I sat in this room eating breakfast, I could almost feel long skirts brush my ankles and was sure the dapper gentleman just entering was Theodore Roosevelt. Alas, he turned out to be the waiter. Our room at the Palace was quaint—remodeled with new fixtures and furniture but left with crown molding and wood paneling. Yet as nice as our room was, the Palace is still an historic structure so not only could I hear my husband snoring, I could also hear the snoring of the man next door, the conversation in the hall and room service. Also electric plug-ins are few and far between in classic hotels although one modern lamp did partially meet our needs. And of course, the most important element in real estate is location, and the Palace is definitely in the heart of San Francisco, allowing guests easy access to restaurants, museums, trolley rides and city shopping. So which do I prefer—the modern, neat, comfortable yet very predictable hotel or the grand old dame that makes me feel pampered just by being in elegant surroundings and provides unique architectural surprises for guests to explore? No doubt about it—I’ll choose the classic historic hotel every time. The patina that covers the wood paneling, the vast mural in the Pied Piper Bar painted by Maxfield Parrish and the sunlit atrium on the mezzanine whisper their secrets to each guest and urge them to return to the Palace time after time. Even though Teddy Roosevelt won’t walk through the door when I visit, some modern celebrity equally impressive is very likely to come strolling into the lobby of the Palace. The question is can I get him to pay for my $6 cup of coffee?

John Romero shared a piece of his personal history with CVN a couple years ago when he brought in this frayed, 70-year-old ration booklet from World War II. Printed in 1943, the booklet served Romero, who grew up atop a horse on the Fithian Ranch in the Carpinteria foothills, when he was about 20. Like the ration books held by every other American, Romero’s contained stamps for goods that were in short supply during the war—sugar, coffee, meat and gasoline among the CArPiNteriAwere VAlley MuSeuM of HiStory many items limited As the nation gears up for March Madness (starting March 19), CVN during the warwith effort. thought it would be appropriate to stoke the fire of excitement an Romero passed away image of Carpinteria’s version of highly competitive basketball.

Train yourself wardrobe wisdom LORI COOPER Drawings by Camille Cooper
I am using the following quote from the Huffington Post as a launching pad for this month’s column: “Train yourself to live in beauty every day. Eat off your china dishes every night of the week, buy flowers and have them around the house and wear your lovely clothes. Style is not about the way you dress, it’s about the way you live.” Your day will go better if you wear things you find beautiful and which make you feel attractive, confident and just plain good. While I was ridiculously fixated on a woman I spotted at Costco recently—racing around the store in matching peach shirt, shorts, socks, shoes and flowered hat—I had to hand it to her. I am certain she gave some thought to what she was going to wear that day and that she felt wonderful in her ensemble. A friend and client asked me for a “quick Wardrobe Wisdom tip” the other night and it took me a while to respond. A week later, I would like to share my top 5096 Carpinteria Ave to training yourself “to tips, in addition live in beauty.”

Get to know the salespeople in your favorite stores. They will alert you when a sale is imminent and will offer you valuable, honest feedback on how clothing looks on you. If you are in need of a specific item, call them first to save time shopping in vain. Be up front about your budget and lifestyle. Find a good tailor and get your clothes altered to fit your current body. There is no reason to let nice garments languish in your closet because they do not fit you well. A tailor can turn an okay skirt or pair of pants into something spectacular when it hugs you in just the right places and skims over other body parts. I also rely on my tailor to tell me when something is not worth altering, and I appreciate her honesty. Invest in the best shoes you can afford, and make sure they are comfortable. Few things are more awful than wearing punishing shoes all day, or even for a couple of hours. And no, wearing old-school Crocs, yucky flip-flops, sloppy Birkenstocks, or worn out Ugg boots does not qualify as living in beauty. Only shop with people who comprehend your taste, style, budget and shopping stamina. Some friends are simply
not shopping-compatible. You want to be with those who tell you candidly how you look in things you are trying on, suggest items that may look great on you but you did not gravitate toward on your own, know when you need a break and are ready for a snack or a drink, and keep you on task. Shopping with people who insist you try on clothes that do not suit your current life, are way out of your budget or just make you feel bad should be avoided. A week before a special event, try on your entire outfit, including shoes and jewelry. Make sure you have the proper undergarments and that your outfit is ready to wear. It’s a disaster to be getting ready for an event only to find that a zipper is broken, a jacket is stained or that you do not have the right bra. When you are not sure about investing in a new trendy item, purchase an inexpensive version. Wear it with different outfits and see how it feels on and fits in with the rest of your wardrobe. You will learn if it’s worth investing more in a similar, more upscale version, or if it’s a trend you can skip. You may also find that your inexpensive version is pretty darn perfect, like I did with my bargain wedge booties from Sears last year. If you find yourself putting certain garments on and removing them shortly afterward, get rid of them! They will
never feel right, and you will not miss them. If this seems too drastic, wear the garment all day. If you cannot wait to take it off, bid it goodbye. I would like to tell you that every day I look in my closet with happy anticipation, eager to get dressed. Though I often do, I also have days when I feel apathetic about putting on clothes. Therefore, my greatest tip for you is this lesson I’ve learned: putting on something you love, that represents nothing but positive memories, will lift your spirits and keep you buoyed up all day.

Harvest Gala reaps bounty for Mount Carmel

Mount Carmel Principal Karen Regan, center, appears with her sister Becky Pendergraft and mother Beverly Van Wingerden at the school’s annual fundraising gala held at the Bacara Resort on Oct. 11. The elegant event filled over 400 seats and raised tens of thousands of dollars for the Montecito school. david powdrell

Two young palms found happy homes on Oct. 15 alongside the restaurant named after their historic predecessors. Most of the original, century-old palms have been removed, and the city is now replacing them with the next generation of stately trees.
Mount Carmel parents Melinda and Benji Trembly stand beside “The Giving Tree” at the entrance to the Harvest Gala. Melinda, a local artist and interior designer, created the striking installation by wrapping an avocado tree in paper printed with the text from Shel Silverstein’s famous children’s book about selflessness.

CVN joins 400,000 in climate march
Kevin Fristad carried his Coastal View News in New York City on Sept. 21 when he put one foot in front of the other along with 400,000 like-minded marchers to raise awareness about climate change. The event has come to be known as the People’s Climate March and was timed to precede a Sept. 23 meeting at the United Nations, during which climate change was to be discussed by world leaders. “I urge all of your readers to get involved and do whatever possible to combat global warming before it’s too late,” commented Fristad.

Sparks conquers Pacific Crest Trail Terry Sparks of Carpinteria conquered over 2,500 miles and some of the fiercest mountain peaks in the west while spending over 100 days hiking from Mexico to Canada along the Pacific Crest Trail. The retired firefighter cruised over most of the highest portions of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountain ranges until suffering a fracture and ligament damage to an ankle with just a small portion of the trek left. He was forced to take a break on Aug. 18, only 80 miles from the Canadian border, but he returned to finish the final three days of hiking on a still-sore ankle in September. He crossed into Canada at the Northern Terminus at Manning Park in British Columbia with a little help from trusty CVN.
