Approved for the corner of Holly and Carpinteria avenues, the mixed use project above was given a three-year extension by the planning commission.

Carpinteria Ave. project granted extension

A two-story mixed use building approved by the city for the corner of Holly and Carpinteria avenues was granted a three year extension to begin construction. The Carpinteria Planning Commission, on Dec. 1, voted to allow M3 Multifamily, a Santa Barbara-based company, extra time to begin the 8,080 square foot building that will include two apartments along Holly, a firstfloor retail space along Carpinteria Avenue and office space above, which M3 plans to occupy. The extension was requested by M3 in order to grow its business to afford the project and to secure financing, which has been difficult given the high rate of commercial vacancy in Carpinteria. The original permit approval on Dec. 2, 2013 was set to expire after one year.

Michael Leonard hoists a hog-tied noble ﬁr over his shoulder and makes his way from the delivery truck to a growing stock of Christmas trees bound for happy local homes. Leonard was among a crew of able-bodied boy scouts and cub scouts who unloaded over 900 trees fresh from Oregon onto the lot on the corner of Holly and Carpinteria avenues on the morning of Nov. 29. The Christmas tree lot is now open and selling evergreens for the beneﬁt of the local scout troops, who rely on the annual fundraiser to pay for their summer camping trip and other activities. See more photos on page 20.

Hooray for rain

Ask Carpinteria Valley Water District and recent rain would be tallied as barely a drop in the drought bucket, but every inch counts. Carpinteria was on the low-end of Santa Barbara County rain totals after receiving the steadiest precipitation on Dec. 2 and sporadic rainfall into Dec. 3. As of 9 a.m. on Dec. 3, the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District gauge had collected 1.44 inches of rain. The rainfall year total, which began Oct. 1, now has reached 2.25 inches.

At right, Carpinteria Creek went from still to ﬂowing during the Dec. 2 rain. Since everything upstream is getting a rare rinse, Santa Barbara County Public Health and Safety issued a warning about possible ocean contamination near creek mouths from storm water run off.

Danger of football deserves discussion

Bob Henry brought up many troubling problems with high school football in his recent letter (“High schools vulnerable to football injury litigation,” CVN, Nov. 27) . I agree with him that the school board and parents should discuss the whole issue of serious injuries to young players and the risk of possible lawsuits. Important factors to consider that make high school players especially vulnerable: the brain is not fully developed until age 25, their bodies are still growing, it’s not just concussions, but the repetitive small hits that damage the brain, pain killers given routinely can lead to addiction. One more thing: state-of-the art helmets are designed to protect the skull but offer

little protection for the brain. Any one of those reasons should cause parents to hesitate encouraging their young sons to engage in this dangerous sport. Football is our national pastime and involves many more players and fans than other contact sports such as boxing or wrestling. The NFL makes $9 billion dollars a year and pays no taxes due to its nonproﬁt status. This is a national scandal. We pay our taxes, shouldn’t they? What is your brain worth? It determines your education level, your physical and emotional health, your lifetime earnings. Do we want our young men to struggle with brain damage so we can engage in Friday Night Frenzy? Let’s talk about this now before next football season.

Donnie Nair Carpinteria

A thorny subject

Diana Thorn, a conservative person, writes her opinions and the facts. Negative responses are written from others, who do not agree with what she writes. And too often the responses are very opinionated, believing they are right and she is wrong, opposing her regardless of the facts, to disregard her beliefs. And so, the following thought came to me one night. Roses need thorns to protect them from harm. Without the thorns on the stems of roses, they would be bruised, and wilt, then die, for the thorns were created to be a part of the rose, to protect them, in order for the roses to be free to open up, to show forth their beauty, to be enjoyed by many, freely. When we accept all of creation as it was created for its intended purpose, living in peace with all men will be possible.

Ferguson demonstrates government shortcomings

Society without government. Ferguson under community control. What would happen? Property owners would either hire private security or arm themselves to prevent theft such as the theft perpetrated by Michael Brown, the man who was shot by a police ofﬁcer in Ferguson, Mo. The local community would either put up with his street walking antics or they would unite to physically remove him from the street. If community pressure wasn’t enough to correct his behavior, he could be tried in a community court and sentenced to a term in a community jail. Such community facilities would be nongovernmental and funded and staffed by community volunteers and professionals. No one would reign supreme as government does now. If you don’t like this proposal, come up with your own. Nobody has a perfect solution. We can only strive to improve. Or, if you like widespread riots, dysfunctional justice and a police state, stick with what you’ve got now. According to HL Mencken, “Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are arbitrary, criminal, grasping, and unintelligent.”

Laurie N. Styles

Laurie N. Styles, beloved Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Daughter, Aunt and Friend, passed away peacefully Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2014 surrounded by those who loved her most. Born Sept. 29, 1952 in Berkeley, Calif. to Richard and Jeanne Nichols, Laurie spent most of her life in the Bay Area where she met lifelong friends, enjoyed the journey through young adulthood and started a family. Laurie was a skilled dancer and a lover of music, art and theater. Whether it was taking in a Beatles concert or dancing in a production of “Westside Story,” Laurie had a deep love and talent for all things musical. She had an infectious personality and an incredible ability to befriend anyone and everyone. She loved to laugh and share her unique experiences. Her love and friendship was radiant, and those around her could not help but love and be loved by her. She was truly one-of-a-kind. She played an essential role in so many lives, but none gave her more pride than that of mother and grandmother. After following in her parents’ footsteps and moving to Carpinteria in 1988, she quickly realized that this was the perfect town to raise her own children. Whether it was a walk on the bluffs or a Friday night Warrior football game, Laurie loved everything about the town that took her and her family in as one of their own. Laurie is preceded in death by her father Richard Nichols and grandmother Lucille Jay. She is survived by her daughter Amanda Gocong (Chris), son Eddie Styles (Nicole), granddaughter Layla Gocong, mother Jeanne Nichols, sisters Sharon and Wendy Nichols, brother David Nichols, niece Justine Nichols, nephews Conrad and Beau Nichols, as well as three step-children and several step-grandchildren. She will be forever missed and loved beyond words. The energy and love that she embodied so well will continue to live on through her family and friends every day. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, Dec. 6 at 11 a.m. at the Carpinteria Cemetery, 1501 Cravens Lane. A reception will follow at the Carpinteria Woman’s Club, 1059 Vallecito Road. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara. ADVERTISEMENT

Oh Holy St. Jude, apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in Miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful special patron in time of need, to you do I have recourse from the depth of my heart and humbly beg you to whom God has given such great powers, to come to my assistance. Help me in my present urgent petition. In return I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked. Pray for us all who invoke your aid. Amen Say three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys, three Glorias. This Novena must be said for 9 consecutive days. This Novena has never been known to fail.

Lenae is survived by her daughter Samantha Stahr, mother Sally Abdalla, siblings Linda (Roger) Bales, Bob Lytel, Laura (Richard) Lechuga, nieces and nephews, Roger, Jamie, Sheldon, Kaden, Nicole, Aiden and Vivienne and her fiancé David Rodgers.

Stepping off the holiday treadmill the summerland shore FRAN DAVIS

What, December already? ‘Tis the season of snowy jingle bell chestnut-roasting carol-singing, but outside it’s shirtsleeve strolls, wine on the deck and red sails in the sunset? How are we supposed to come to terms with that? Sometimes I feel like there’s been a sly continental shift, and I now live in the Southern hemisphere, an American Australia where we celebrate Christmas with backyard barbecues. Did I say Christmas? I meant holidays. We now celebrate the holidays in general, although the one we really celebrate, the really big holiday—and who are we kidding when crèches and Santa are everywhere and carols track us through the stores—is Christmas. I love Christmas, I do, but it also makes me crazy. Every year I try to resist climbing back on the shopping treadmill that demands more speed, faster and faster, until it ﬂings me out on Christmas day, dizzy from the frenzy of buying and wrapping and gorging at the trough of good cheer. The holidays come on like a fever, and for all their high times and jollity and shared feelings of brotherly love, they can lay you low. Our family has tried various ploys to disengage from the purchasing panic— like giving only homemade items, ones we made ourselves. That was amusing for a while, producing some fine jars of jam and baked goods, potted plants, stitchery, photo books. It never worked for the grandkids, though. They didn’t mind making cookies, but they sure as heck didn’t want them as gifts. The challenge every year is how to simplify. How to resist the commercialism of Christmas in favor of looking for, and maybe even discovering, its deeper meaning. You know, the one the Babe in the manger arrived to tell us about. But we are a culture of consumers, and the riches laid out to tempt us during this holiest of seasons are just too attractive to resist. I read somewhere that Santa was the perfect scapegoat for indulgent, guiltridden parents who are all too aware of the crass commercialism that goes into the seasonal product-pushing, but who still want their children to have the very best, most memorable, wish-upon-a-star Christmas. Who delivered that avalanche of goods under the tree? Santa. Blame him. Or thank him. Mom and Dad were just hapless observers, or unwitting enablers, like the elves. So into the annual buying frenzy we charge, fully enlightened and aware citizens. We know what we’re getting into, but the prices are so good, stores sparkling, sales the best, the selection incredible and the whole shopping scene so lively, so full of fun and high spirits, everyone happy, caroling through the paseo—who can resist that? Hardly anyone. It’s us, we Americans. We shop. We give. We are both acquisitive and generous. Victims of our own abundance, we overshop and overspend and overgive. Ka-chingle all the way. Here’s a thought, though: Santa and his overburdened reindeer might appreciate a lighter load.

Summerland brightens its corners

Summerland businesses put on their sparkles the week before Thanksgiving with a downtown celebration. Nearly every store and café along Lillie Avenue was festooned with twinkle lights, and all featured holiday delights of some kind, from live music, sweets and refreshments to balloons and flowers and pedicab rides. Especially enchanting was the strolling Madrigal Choir from Santa Barbara High School, singing Christmas carols at stops throughout town. Outside of Bonita’s, my husband munched hot-from-the-fryer churros while I chatted with a nice young woman who runs Emma Rose Floral. I ended up taking home the biggest, darkest purplered peony I have every seen—the size of a dinner plate, which she said was grown in Alaska. I knew peonies needed a proper freeze to thrive, but Alaska? Emma described her day running between the Summerland event and setting up for a small wedding party for six on Butterfly Beach. She had to move her floral arch from her first spot because another party of more than 100 set up too close. When another 50-person wedding party arrived, she found herself bookended between the two, so moved again. Multiple beach weddings in November? Further proof the climate has gone goofy.

Captain Don’s Xmas corner

It’s been fun watching Don Heddon’s Beach Shack by Sandpiper Liquors morph with the seasons, transforming from Halloween pumpkin patch, to gourd center for Thanksgiving to our own little Christmas tree lot. It adds a big splash of holiday color to that corner. And don’t forget to order your nursery-fresh poinsettias ($10 each), available for pick up from Captain Don’s on Saturday, Dec. 6. Sales beneﬁt the SCA’s fund to maintain downtown parks and plantings. Call Captain Don at 452-9595 to order.

SCA holiday party Dec. 10

Stop in at Café Luna for a glass of wine, a wedge of pizza and a dose of good cheer when the Summerland Citizens Association hosts its annual holiday party. The party starts at 6 p.m. and ends when the café closes. Always fun, it offers busy Summerlanders the chance to greet and meet in the warm and amiable environs of our favorite downtown watering hole. Out of town guests welcome, too!

Feel good gift wrapping

I’ll be slapping bright Christmas wrap on the packages of strangers again this year. Starting on Dec. 13, the nonproﬁt organization Life Chronicles has gift wrapping tables at Paseo Nuevo and La Cumbre Plaza. In return for donations, volunteers like me wrap packages for busy shoppers. For little or no cost, Life Chronicles videotapes the life stories of the elderly and seriously ill, so that those left behind will have a visual record, a living memory, of their loved ones. Check out the website LifeChronicles.org to see some moving and memorable stories. Especially wrenching are the videos of terminally-ill parents speaking to the children they will leave behind. Stop in to get your gifts wrapped (you choose the paper!). Or volunteer to be a wrapper yourself (ﬂexible two-hour stints) by calling Sandy at 682-3234. One good thing: Rain, the sound, smell and feel of its cool splash; liquid gold. Fran Davis is an award-winning writer and freelance editor whose work appears in magazines, print and online journals, anthologies and travel books. She has lived in Summerland most of her life.

Live wire

A man reported on Nov. 18 that his truck and motorcycle were vandalized on Trenora Street. He suspected his exgirlfriend was behind the vandalism. She had been due to pick up some belongings but didn’t show, and the next time he took out the truck, it was running poorly. He pulled over and noticed battery wires had been sliced, and he was forced to call AAA to the rescue. Later on, he inspected his motorcycle, which she had allegedly damaged in the past. He found toothpicks jammed in the ignition, her same MO from the previous vandalism, he reported. He was able to pry a few splinters out but the key still didn’t fit right. Deputies had not questioned the woman at the time of the report.

Sublet subterfuge

A woman reported that a person claiming to own a condo had accepted rent payment from her and completed a rental agreement but was unable to deliver the residence, since the illegitimate landlord didn’t own it. The victim said she had been uprooted from one condo due to the owners selling but fortuitously a neighbor stepped forward offering up her place. The neighbor said she was fed up with the HOA and wanted out, so she accepted $2,000 and signed a lease agreement to have the neighbor replace her at the condo. Of the total payment, $500 was offered as a loan to help the 26-year-old move. The renter, however, learned that the woman she had paid was the niece to the landlord and was not granted permission to lease the unit. The victim tried for weeks to get her money back to no avail. She then told the alleged fraudulent landlord she was turning her in to law enforcement, and the unapologetic suspect said go ahead. She told deputies that she was in fact entitled to rent out the unit and there had been confusion. Also, she had tried to refund the money directly into the renter’s checking account but had the routing number wrong. Deputies informed the victim that it was a civil matter and small claims court would be an appropriate arena to seek justice.

Man in the van

A Post Avenue couple reported that their laptop had gone missing and they

suspected an old family friend had swiped it. They said the man, 50, asked if he could park his van in their driveway to repair it. When he couldn’t get the job done the first day, they said he could stay with them until it was fixed. He remained for a couple of days, and the couple came and went, allowing him unsupervised access to their pad. Then the computer went missing. The man denied taking it and left shortly after the accusation. Deputies had not spoken with the man at the time of the report.

Linden Glass Fusion pops up in unexpected locale

Linden Avenue’s best kept secret is inside the laundromat. Tucked between washers and dryers at 877 Linden Ave. is a door that leads to a large room where handmade jewelry, photographs and other handiwork stretch from ﬂoor to ceiling. Now open to the public, Linden Glass Fusion has been a labor of love for owners Ha and Anh Ngo, the artisans behind every item in the shop. Ha has been creating colorful glass jewelry for 10 years, and the process of crafting the shimmering pieces takes place under the same roof as her boutique. She sells her popular creations at the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Fair but has amassed so many pieces that she decided to open a retail space. Her jewelry retails for anywhere from $5 to $50. Anh, a hobbiest photographer, sells his locally shot and self-framed images in the space as well. The shop is open Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

It’s better to give

The holiday Some in the co insatiable app hands or stepp of our holiday s of the more ins

Ten years ago on Dec. 1, David Powdrell had a stroke that nearly claimed his life. Carpinteria would be a very different place today if it had. Powdrell, a “theoretically partially retired” CPA and practically fulltime do-gooder, volunteers for more nonprofits than he can count on his fingers and still manages to juggle 340 clients without skipping a beat. He does it all with a hefty dose of laughter and constant kindness and enough humility to make it all seem effortless. “I’m just so lucky,” he concludes. Working with stroke victims is a top priority for Powdrell. As a peer counselor at Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital, he provides what he wishes had been provided for him after his stroke, someone who went through it all and can speak about what to expect and how the recovery process will go. “I walked the walk and now I get to share the story,” he said. The question that inevitably comes to mind when Powdrell rattles off his volunteer commitments is, “How do you find the time?” His answer is, “I wish I had more time to give.” He cochairs the Carpinteria Arts Council and serves on the board of directors for Santa Barbara Channelkeeper and World Dance for Humanity, as well as an advisory board for the Friendship Paddle. He contributes time and financial expertise to Friends of the Library. One of his great passions is the Carpinteria Talent Show, which he co-founded and co-chaired for five years. With spare time, he writes and photographs for online publication edhat Santa Barbara. Powdrell traces his dedication to doing good back to his mother. She instilled in him the idea that, “If you can leave the world a little better than when you got here, you have accomplished something.” He lives her message every day.

Wullbrandt smiles into 96th year

Joe Wullbrandt, Carpinteria High School’s oldest living football player alumnus, turned 95 and celebrated the milestone with two parties on Nov. 22. The Carpinteria Lions Club honored him that morning with an award for his 60 years of dedicated service to the club. He wore his past president jacket to receive the honor. Family and friends, including his wife Emily and daughter Jill, surprised him that afternoon with a second cake and a new Carpinteria High School Booster Club shirt. Wullbrandt played four sports at CHS and graduated in 1938.

Kelsie Bryant ﬁnishes four years of greatness BY PETER DUGRÉ

Before Kelsie Bryant entered Carpinteria High School, her parents had some debate over where to place her to best realize her tennis potential. Santa Barbara High School was known as a tennis powerhouse. Kelsie’s mother, Laurie Bryant, had an epiphany. “You can go to Santa Barbara and be part of something great or you can go to Carpinteria High School and help make something great,” Laurie said. Those words could not have been more foretelling. In the four years that followed, CHS won its first two CIF championships in the program’s history, and Kelsie won 235 sets for CHS and lost just six. Kelsie made her mark immediately in Frontier League, posting a 50-3 record her freshman season while leading the team to the Division 5 finals, where the Warriors finished as runners up. The three losses didn’t come until the semifinals and finals. It was the team’s first trip to a championship match since 1977. Possibly a more telling measurement of her dominance came her senior season. Due to their successes—two straight Division 5 CIF Championships—the Warriors were bumped up to Tri-Valley League and Division 2. Bryant still finished 51-1, and her loss came in the team’s second-round playoff match, against the seventh-ranked player in California. The best runs for the program were her sophomore and junior seasons. Kelsie was 67-1 each season, and the team captured the program’s only ever championships. Her losses came in either the semifinals or finals. The team was 77-12-1 over the four-season run. Over the course of her high school career, Kelsie won 1,411 games and lost only 89. She also had five golden sets, in which she didn’t drop a single point. Kelsie had been the 35th ranked player in USTA when she was 14 but largely stopped competing in the tournament circuit when high school started. “She has been fine with not doing many of the tournaments the past few years. It might have been a little blessing in disguise, as she was starting to get a little burned out,” commented Charles Bryant, her coach and dad. “She can compete with the top players in the state and even the country but just does not have the ranking that goes with it. She is highly regarded as a sleeper or under the radar by college coaches who have seen her play and recruited her,” Charles said. One of her proudest accomplishments was winning the USTA Sportsmanship Award for Southern California in 2007. Her most recent successes outside of high school have come in doubles competition, which she enjoys more than singles. Along with partner Sophia Whittle, Kelsie recently defeated a team that included Gabrielle Andrews, the top ranked 18-year-old in the USA. “I really think that if Kelsie and Sophie went to college together they could form one of the best doubles teams in the country,” Charles said.

Kelsie Bryant won 235 sets and lost just six sets over four memorable seasons as a Warrior. Kelsie as team Veg Heads, as they are known because they’re both vegetarians. In fact, Kelsie is a vegan. The Bryants think back on their decision to keep Kelsie at CHS with zero regrets. The support system has been

amazing, they said. A touching memory for Kelsie and the team was when students, teachers and administrators gathered in the parking lot at 11 p.m. to give the team a hero’s welcome following the ﬁrst championship triumph.

All of her tennis accomplishments are paralleled by success in academics, soccer and as a clarinet player in the high school band. She has a 4.50 GPA and is an Advanced Placement Scholar. Kelsie plans to attend U.C. Davis next fall.

Kelsie Bryant, middle, and teammates, from left, Emily and Natalie Saito, are among a talented batch of seniors who put Warrior tennis on the map with two CIF championships.

Duck surprise

Dunlap gets visit from Warrior cheerleading coaches and friends CVN REPORT Who knew there were cheerleaders for cheerleaders? On Nov. 22, “Team Shelby” journeyed to Eugene, Ore., to see Shelby Dunlap, a Carpinteria native, cheer at her last home game for the University of Oregon Ducks football team. Dunlap started her cheerleading career as a Carpinteria Warrior, graduating with the class of 2011. This spring she will graduate from the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communications as an honor student with a degree in advertising and four years of cheerleading under her belt. Team Shelby surprised her the morning before the game. Her mother and sister, Sherry and Chelsea, and Tom Clark had already been visiting and were gathered at fellow Carpinteria cheerleading alumna Angela Sturgis’ Oregon home. An unexpected knock at the door was followed by the entry of Warrior cheer-

leading coach Julie Rubio Shamblin. After Shamblin added another Warrior to the group, they went out to a Starbucks where Shelby’s other two cheerleading coaches, Vanessa Tito and Sara Boardman, had been stationed. Shelby’s mom and sister commented that the emotional scene of hugging and crying at Starbucks led to some confusion among fellow patrons. At that evening’s basketball game, where Shelby was cheering, two childhood friends Ally Winn and Sierra Freeman blended into the crowd before revealing themselves to Shelby. In total, 15 supporters had showed up for the ﬁnal home football game of Shelby’s college cheerleading career. Shelby will continue cheering on the football squad at the Friday, Dec. 5, Pac 12 championship against University of Arizona.

AYSO U10 Girls win Area 10W League Championship

The Carpinteria Cherry Bombs returned from Camarillo following a Nov. 22 and 23 tournament as AYSO U10 Girls Area Champions. They opened the tournament with a 4-2 win against Ventura. The following two games against Camarillo and North Oxnard earned a draw and secured them a spot in the semi-finals. The Cherry Bombs went on to overtake the top seeded Ventura team with another 4-2 victory. Under the lights, the championship was played against Camarillo #1 with a 3-3 draw pushing into overtime and finally a victorious shootout. Goalie Ariana Lounsbury was nearly impeccable in allowing one shootout goal. Katie Freeman was the team’s leading scorer in the tournament. Right wing Carly Medina led the team in assists. Mikayla Desjardins, Belen Herrera and Jasmine Powell fortified the midfield. Alexiana Jaimes, Mia Alvarado and Isabel Gragg’s collective efforts solidified the back line. “This team has worked hard to get to this monumental moment and proven to themselves that the dedication of time, perseverance and the belief in each other can produce results that dreams are made of,” commented coaches Marc Medina and Jessie Earley. The Cherry Bombs will compete in the AYSO Section 10 championship tournament on Feb. 21 and 22 in Bakersfield.

Rincon Brewery taps pub food niche

Though Rincon Brewery opened over py Hour! a month ago, its popular patio is still

N-FRI:jammed 3-6pm with patrons nearly from the time that the doors open until the time

they close every evening. The newest every addition to Carpinteria’s restaurant dnesday: scene—and the third installment of

en mic ight

breweries in town—is happily thriving at 5065 Carpinteria Ave. According to Kevin Clark, one of the brewery’s four owners, the community’s response to the new business has been great. “We feel very welcomed here,” he said. Clark and partners Mark Hyatt, Shaun Crowley—who is the brew master—and Alma Bilgren teamed up months ago with a plan to offer something new to Carpinteria. Island Brewing Company, with its laid-back tasting room for beer made onsite, had successfully tapped into a growing market of microbreweries. Rincon Brewery added a full lunch and dinner menu to that equation and merged 5096 Carpinteria Ave microbrewery with restaurant to satisfy both hunger and thirst.

E MUSIC

day July 26: McBride ob bishop -4 pm

The food menu offers both traditional pub foods and healthier fare that incorporates locally grown produce. The most popular item, Clark said, is the Rincon Brewery burger, which is topped with a fried egg, bacon, avocado, onion strings and secret sauce. The taps at Rincon Brewery flow with eight beers made on the premises, as well as three guest beers that will change regularly. Wine is also available. Clark said that so far the IPA has been the hottest style of beer to emerge from Crowley’s 15-barrel batch system. Seating at the new brewery is split evenly between the Carpinteria Avenuefacing patio and the inside bar area. The patio boasts shuffleboard and a kids’ zone with a sandbox, toys and mini-seats. From the indoor seating area, patrons can watch the brewer at work through a 10 foot by 10 foot window. The brewery’s current hours are Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. On Friday and Saturday, closing hour is extended to 10 p.m.

Halos Pitchforks

A reader sends a halo to all the AGIA employees that donated dinners for families in Carpinteria. And a special halo to Laura Clark, who organized this for many years. “Your kindness and big heart will be missed.” A reader sends a halo to the Carpinteria Friends of the Library. “Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the youth of Carpinteria.” A reader sends a halo to Ryder and Donavon for giving the reader their advent calendars. “We really appreciate your kindness.” A reader sends a halo to the person who so nicely put the reader’s lost monkey blanket out for the reader to find the day after it was lost. “My 19-month-old is thrilled to have his buddy back again!” A reader sends a halo to Pat and Bob Lieberknecht for their very generous gift. “I really had a great time.” A reader sends a halo to the Carpinteria Middle School ASB and class President Jack Gay for fundraising to purchase three new soccer goals for lunchtime activities. A reader sends a halo to Bill and Terri Stucky and Stallard, Rich and Kathy Luders for the Thanksgiving dinner they brought to the Carpinteria Sheriff’s substation. “That was very generous and kind of you. It was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by the deputies.” A reader sends a halo to Nathan Adair from Helix Medical who returned the $20 bill the reader dropped after visiting the Bank of America ATM. “Thank you for being such a great citizen who knows how to demonstrate honor and integrity. You filled my heart.” A reader sends a halo to all the drivers who obey traffic laws, like waiting until pedestrians cross the crosswalk before turning right. Also to all bicycle riders who obey traffic laws by stopping for stop signs and red lights and not riding on sidewalks. A reader sends a pitchfork to the clerk at a local convenience store for yelling at a 9-year-old boy for not knowing how to use a credit card. “You scared him and made him very upset and embarrassed. It was uncalled for and rude.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the drivers who, on Saturday afternoon, lit up busy

Linden Avenue with their street racing cars. “A smoky burnout in front of Sly’s was followed by a high speed run toward Carpinteria Avenue. A deputy went in pursuit. Here’s hoping he was able to discourage that behavior.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the man who always litters in the empty lot next to the Amtrak train station. “Where are your manners?”

Carpinteria Library Book Club “TransAtlantic” by Colum McCann

Carpinteria Library recommendation “The Portrait” by Iain Pears

The Portrait is a simple tale of vengeance told by a narrator obsessed with destroying the man he once called his friend. Early 20th century Scottish portrait painter Henry, in selfexile on a remote island off the coast of France, speaks to the subject of his latest work, a critic who first promoted Henry and then turned against him. As the critic sits for his portrait, Henry rehashes their careers, bitterness dripping from every word as he leads up to a vicious indictment against his former mentor for his later treatment. This short novel leads the reader gradually toward a fascination with the speaker—first in sympathy with his grievances and then appalled as the full scope of his revenge plot becomes clear. Pears is known for more traditional thrillers, such as “An Instance of the Fingerpost.” Although there is a mystery here, the author veers away from that genre altogether to produce an extraordinary, spine-tingling work. ––Tara O’Reilly, supervising librarian, Carpinteria Library, 5141 Carpinteria Ave.

Friends of the Library Used Book Store recommendation “The Gift” by Hafiz as translated by Daniel Ladinsky

With family gatherings of Thanksgiving fresh in our memories, the longer and longer nights lead us into the holiday season and a new year. A number of traditions include song, dance, storytelling or reading poems during long winter nights. For centuries, the work of the Persian poet Hafiz has been a part of family gatherings during the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. Daniel Ladinsky’s translations of Hafiz in “The Gift” provide a wonderful introduction to the complexity and playfulness of Hafiz. This collection also hints at why Hafiz’ perspective is sought as families gather at a point of changing seasons to face the darkness. “I wish I could speak like music. / I wish I could put the swaying splendor / Of the fields into words/ So that you could hold Truth/ Against your body/ And dance.” There is a lightness to the dance between poet and reader that magnifies when shared, and assures that dawn will break and we’ll start anew. ––Giti White, volunteer, Friends of the Library Used Book Store, 5103 Carpinteria Ave.

Student recommendation “Winger” by Andrew Smith

Ryan Dean West is a 14-year-old 11th-grader at a boarding school for wealthy children with behavioral problems. He faces the same types of problems as many teenage boys—he is in love with his best friend, Annie, who views him as a “little boy,” the older boys on his rugby team pick on him, and he occasionally makes poor choices with alcohol. As Ryan Dean tries to navigate the perils of high school, he finds himself becoming close friends with Joey, an openly gay boy who is also a member of the rugby team. Joey helps Ryan Dean navigate his relationship with Annie and teaches him to stand up for himself when the other members of the rugby team are bullying him. Just when Ryan Dean thinks he finally has life figured out, tragedy strikes in a way no one could have expected. (The nature of this tragedy makes “Winger” a good fit for mature readers; no one should pick up this book without being prepared for material that . will repulse and sadden.) Despite its tragic twist, “Winger” is a hilarious and charming story that gives us a look into the complicated lives of modern day teenagers and an idea of just how resilient they really are in the face of a heartbreaking disaster. ––Audrey Lent, Santa Barbara City 925 Ladera Lane, Santa Barbara 93018 (805) 969-5697 College student Hours: Mon.-Sat. 11 am-5 pm • closed Wednesday

Fact and fiction are expertly interwoven in “TransAtlantic,” author Colum McCann’s first release since he won the National Book Award for “Let the Great World Spin” in 2009. The novel ties together three transatlantic journeys of historical importance by introducing the character Lily Duggan, an Irish housemaid who escapes from her troubled homeland and uncovers opportunity for her daughter and granddaughter. According to Booklist’s review, McCann creates “complex, vivid characters (historical and otherwise) while expertly mixing fact and fancy to create this emotionally involving and eminently memorable novel.” The book will be discussed at the next meeting of the Carpinteria Library Book Club on Wednesday, Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the library, 5141 Carpinteria Ave. To find out more about the club, which is open to anyone interested in reading and discussing the book, call Supervising Librarian Tara O’Reilly at 684-4314.

One writing prompt that works every time the write practice JOE BUNTING If you’re ever stuck trying to figure out what to write about, write about what you want. A story is about a character who wants something. When was the last time you wanted something so badly you were willing to do anything (anything!) to get it? When was the last time you had

something you loved so much you would do anything to protect it? What is something you want but can never have?

Great stories are about desire

Desire is the best and worst part of life, and all great stories are about desire. And so, to write a good story, you need to connect with your own desire. You don’t need to act on that desire. You don’t need to obsess over what you want. You need to know desire, to understand it as intimately as you know yourself. What do you want most in the world?

Practice

Use the writing prompt above to write a story about your greatest desire. Write for 15 minutes. When you’re finished, share your practice with a friend to get feedback. You can even share your practice on The Write Practice website at thewritepractice.com/writing-prompt-that-works/ Happy writing. Joe Bunting is a full-time author and blogger who lives and writes in Carpinteria with his wife and son. You can find more practical inspiration for your writing at thewritepractice.com.

Amrit Joy’s Hints for Healthy & Happy Living The present is a gift

The past is history. The future is a mystery. The present is a gift, and this is why it is called the “present.” Most of us spend too much of our time ruminating about the past or stressing about the future. None of this is helpful and is really a waste of time. When we become aware of the habits of our minds, we can begin to change them. If you ask yourself, “What is going on right now?” you can point yourself in the right direction. Here you begin to bring yourself into the “now.” In the “now,” you become peaceful, feel connected to yourself and spirit, and live your life more fully. You begin to awaken as you begin to watch the mind and use it to your advantage. You will spend less time in the past or future and more in the “now.” Here you will experience stillness, quietness and deep peace. The more you are fully present, the more you will know what is truly important for your wellbeing. In your daily life, practice this by really paying attention to exactly what you are doing. If you are washing your hands, let yourself experience the feel of the water, the soap and all the senses that go along with this. Pay attention to your breath. Do this mindfulness practice with as many daily activities as you can. Walking, cooking, cleaning, working, etc. The more you focus your attention, the easier it will become. Be very gentle and patient with yourself. Slowly and surely you will move toward freedom, joy, serenity and into the light of consciousness. Amrit Joy is a certified Hatha and Kundalini Yoga instructor. She has been practicing and teaching yoga since 1976. Amrit offers ongoing group yoga classes open to all levels here in Carpinteria. Private instruction in yoga and meditation is also available by appointment. For more information, call Amrit Joy at 745-1707 or visit www.amritjoy.com.

CVN roars through Caribbean

CVN went island hopping in the Caribbean courtesy of Carpinteria Lions Gene Wanek and Mike Dawson. The local Lions Club members, traveling with Sherry Berkowitz and Kathy Dawson, attended the USA-Canada Forum in Puerto Rico to meet with 2,000 North American Lions at a convention to strengthen pride in Lionism. The local contingent then hopped over to St. John, where they had their photo opportunity on the “Balcony of the Top Deck.” They relaxed at Trunk Bay during their excursion to St. John.

Chamber group does Europe

A group of 25 Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce travelers took advantage of their time in Munich, Germany, to enjoy the annual Oktoberfest. The nineday trip included excursions through Innsbruck and Salzburg, Austria; Munich, Germany, and Merano, Italy. Highlights included splendid panoramic views of the Austrian, Italian and Swiss alps. Other activities of the action-packed tour included a ride on a funicular (gondola) up the Alps, a visit to Neuschwanstein Castle and Rametz Castle/Winery. Of the 25 travelers, 15 have been regulars on the chamber’s series of trips.
