Council opens arms to City Hall skatepark
Jingle bell rock
BY PETER DUGRÉ
“The number one site as far as getting it done and getting a park built would be city hall.”
Skateboarders were given hope on Dec. 15 that Carpinteria will some day be a city in which they have a designated park to skate. At a special workshop to discuss the feasibility of adding a skatepark to Carpinteria’s parks and rec offerings, the council was so warm to the idea of building a skatepark, that it directed city staff to devise a plan to put one next to city hall in the 30,000-square-foot area now occupied by defunct Thunderbowl roller rink. In its vote to explore building ––Mayor Carty a park, the council added the condition that the Carpinteria Skate Foundation, the driving force behind building a park, partner with the city to help fund and maintain the park. “I’m in favor of a skatepark, and I can’t wait to see this built,” commented Mayor Gregg Carty before the unanimous 4-0 vote; Councilmember Brad Stein was absent due to a conflict of interest. In a feasibility study on building a local skatepark, the city had analyzed potential sites near the Amtrak platform, but residential neighbors had voiced concerns over noise and possible crime from skateboarders, which could have stalled planning. “The number one site as far as getting it done and getting a park built would be city hall,” Carty said. In presenting the city’s findings from the feasibility study, Parks & Recreation Director Matt Roberts downplayed concerns about injury liability and increased crime at skateboard parks. His findings were that team sports commonly played at other city parks had more incidences of injury than skateboarding and that crime occurs at all parks and not necessarily at a higher rate if the park is used for skateboarding. Three of the dozens of speakers were against building a park. Kika Hutchings, a retired educator, said she had watched children at recess throughout her career and found that they always broke the rules, so the city’s ordinance stating skateboarders need to wear helmets and pads—an ordinance put in place ahead of construction of a temporary skatepark in 2000—would not work. “Who’s going to pay for it when kids get injured? I hope it’s not the taxpayer,” Hutchings asked. Supporters of a local skatepark, most wearing Carpinteria Skate Foundation T-shirts, packed the room. Also, organizers involved in both the Santa Barbara and Ojai skateparks urged the city to move forward with a park.

At the Dec. 13 Carpinteria Holiday Spirit Parade, local holiday cheer overflowed, including merry music played by the Patterson family from the back of the Santa Barbara Forge & Iron truck. Andy Patterson is on the trombone, with Joel Patterson on guitar and Mary Patterson on flute. For more coverage of the record-large parade, turn to pages 26 and 27.
Kiwanis Club makes spirits bright
The Kiwanis Club of Carpinteria Valley’s annual Christmas Party for children enrolled in programs at the Carpinteria Children’s Project at Main was held on Dec. 9. According to club member Rosana Swing, “The kids entertained us all with several holiday songs, then Santa arrived for more excitement.” Hosting the local gathering, where Santa hands out gifts to children in need, is a decades-old holiday tradition for the club. See more photos from holiday celebrations around Carpinteria on page 12, 26 and 27.

briefly
Storms bring welcome rainfall
The succession of storms that swept through Carpinteria over the last week delivered 2.12 inches of rainfall to the parched city. Combined with other storms since Sept. 1, Carpinteria has received 4.38 inches of rain this water year, 107 percent of average for this time of year. Other parts of Santa Barbara County have received substantially more. Santa Maria’s total for the water year is 5.78 inches, nearly twice the average for this time of year. Lake Cachuma is 28.6 percent full, a few percentage points up from its driest level this fall. The most recent predictions from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are for a wetter than average winter in Southern California.

on the project to repave downtown sections of Carpinteria Avenue and Casitas Pass Road. Completed tasks are the lowering of manhole lids to prepare for grinding and paving, grinding the entire width of Carpinteria Avenue and Casitas Pass Road and removal and replacement of all sections of poor pavement. Work over the next several days will include placement of a new leveling course of pavement over the grinded road, placement of the top pavement layer which will be the new roadway surface, raising of manholes to the level of the new pavement and restriping of road. With the exception of brief temporary closures, the work will allow all driveways and business entrances to remain open during construction. Because the placement of new pavement requires dry conditions, rain may interfere with continuous work. Construction will not take place during peak traffic hours, but may take place at night to move the project forward as quickly as possible. Anyone with questions can contact Public Works at 684-5405 x441.

Plans are to close the roadways during non-peak hours from Wednesday, Dec. 17 through Friday, Dec. 19. Drivers will be detoured northbound on Casitas Pass to Foothill Road and then down Linden Avenue to the Highway 101 northbound onramp.
Torrey trim preempts catastrophe
J u s t b e f o re t h e wind whipped up and a storm hit the South Coast last week, Branch Out Tree Care was called out to the historic Torrey Pine on Carpinteria Avenue to remove a 5,000 pound branch before it fell and caused significant damage. According to Chris Newton, owner of Branch Out, the limb was beginning to splinter and the upcoming storm could have sent it toppling onto Carpinteria Avenue. “it was big, and it was heavy,” he said, adding that there was no way to reinforce the failing limb with cable.

Spirit burns brightly in Carpinteria
I would like to thank the people of Carpinteria for decorating their homes. What a beautiful sight and such good holiday spirit. First we went on the Holiday Lights Tour, then a few days later I took guests on a tour. We all enjoyed it so much. Carpinteria is such a great town.
Connie Thompson Carpinteria
Now what, guys?
The geniuses that did so much to screw up our nation are now in control of both the Senate and House. A preview of the sort of legislative management to come is the current omnibus budget bill that arrived with minutes to spare. What have House Republicans been doing for the last several years? They have been putting extraordinary effort into repealing the Affordable Care Act. Because of the power of Presidential veto this had no chance of succeeding. They
were purely symbolic acts, political theater that accomplished nothing but were entertaining to Obama detractors. Politics is the art of the possible, not just shouting political sound bites. Is this what we can look forward to from the party that can campaign but can’t govern? McConnell, the incoming Senate Majority leader, said his number one priority was to maintain a Republican majority in 2016, not peace, jobs and the environment, but the security of his own job. The Republican brain trust that brought us trickle down economics, tax breaks for the wealthy, squandered a budget surplus, ignored terrorist threats, used 9-11 as a reason for attacking a country that had nothing to do with it and fooled the country with false claims about Iraq’s threat. Arguably many of the problems in the Middle East can be traced to bungled international policy by the GWB administration. That’s expected when there is a figurehead President with no intellectual skill who leaves everything up to unelected and unaccountable subordinates.

The gifting time
Traveling in Spain many years ago, my husband and I were often besieged by begging Gypsies. They were nearly always women and children. Once on a deserted street in Granada, we were spotted by a group of Gypsy children, who rushed us; I should say rushed me because they knew a soft touch when they saw one. It was typical of the Gypsies to petition me for a handout, not my young husband. We were newly married and traveling student-style on a few dollars a day, so could never give much. That day, surrounded by half a dozen kids with their hands out, bumping and tugging at my clothes, I panicked. They were like a flock of hungry birds. I turned and ran, leaving my husband to fend them off. Most of the time, though, the begging went like this. The gypsy mother, always recognizable, in dark clothes, a scarf around her head, would thrust her child forward with the demand, “Un regalo para el niño.” A gift for the child. A gift of money, of course. Which caused me to ponder, then and now, what defines a “gift.” I think those gypsies had it wrong. A gift is not something you ask for. It’s something you receive. The whole idea of seasonal gift giving came, of course, from the story of the Magi, the star-following wise men bearing gifts for the Child. The precious gifts, gold, frankincense and myrrh arrived unexpectedly. Gifts are meant to be surprises, bolts from the blue. They are an homage and token of caring, bringing as much pleasure to the giver as the receiver. I think about the kids settling into the wide lap of Santa to deliver their wish lists. What they want, what they hope Santa or Mom and Dad will bring. My youngest grandson is now too old for lap sitting, but, like most kids, he has a list. So I wonder how we got so grabby, how we came to a place that sounds like Christmas on demand. Since the first Christmas and the first child, Christmas has traditionally been about giving gifts to children. Delivered by various incarnations of Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, St. Nicholas, Father Frost or a dozen others, and usually given as a reward for virtue. “Have you been a good little boy/girl?” Santa still asks. Only fairly recently, pretty much in the 20th century, has gift giving assumed such a wide spread. Not just kids, but everybody, gets gifts—whether they’ve been naughty or not. Pervasive gift giving is a hard tide to row against. Almost
impossible unless you escape to some uncharted island. Not that I even want to. I like giving and receiving gifts as much as anyone. But I resent the expectation, the petitioning for items. I hardly ever ask to look at a list. Because the best gifts are unexpected. Surprises, right? Not something asked for, but something received. I read somewhere that gift giving serves to sustain social relations. Exchanging gifts can send a jolt of geniality rippling through taut relationships. That has to be a good thing when the world around us seems increasingly chaotic and dangerous. Far too much is out of our control—Ebola epidemics, suicide bombers, race riots, the spread of ISIS. Maybe receiving tangible tokens of care and affection secures a bit of meaning in the midst of turmoil and confusion. Maybe it even works that way for kids. Saying what they want may be a way they can exert a little control. So maybe I’ll have to take a look at that grandkid’s list after all.
Bright stars, the smell of rain
Look at the heavens on a clear winter night, and the stars explode with brightness. There’s a reason stars seem brighter in the northern hemisphere during the winter months. Our part of the earth is facing into the spiral arm of the galaxy to which our sun belongs. This will change in March, so appreciate the starry nights while you can. Who doesn’t love the smell of rain with its promise of growth and new life? As you might expect, that delicious earthy smell derives from a stew of different ingredients, which I read about in (I think) the Smithsonian magazine. There’s ozone before a storm arrives, then the falling rain releases things from the earth—oils, plant spores, botanicals. Acid in rainwater reacts with bacteria and other chemicals in the soil to pour out more complicated odors. The result is that smell we simply call earthy. Some scientists say we are conditioned to love it because it heralds the bounty of earth. One good thing: Blazing sunsets over a winter-dark sea.

Students participate in Hour of Code
Aliso and Summerland school students received an introduction to what computer code is during their Hour of Code on Dec. 12. The worldwide event is aimed at increasing awareness and instruction of computer science and computer programming. State Superintendent Tom Torlakson had sent a letter to all school districts urging teachers to sign up classes for the free event. The local students learned about Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in addition to their programming introduction. Students manipulated the movements of familiar characters Elsa from “Frozen” and the Angry Birds with computer puzzles.

a monthly muse MELINDA WITTWER
How to entertain children of all ages during the holidays Where can you take young children this time of year that is not expensive, not far away, not crowded and not boring? Of course this eliminates Disneyland, the Swiss Alps and solitary confinement. This special place offers fascinating options and activities, is open almost every day and is a surefire way to expand a child’s imagination and knowledge. I’m sure that all of you have guessed by now that the answer is—your local library. My love affair with books began on my mother’s lap. It didn’t really matter which story she read to me. I just loved being cuddled while she spun each tale, each character into visions that became almost real to me. We didn’t own a large collection of books, but we made almost weekly trips to our small town library, one of my favorite places. It is well known that reading to children, even infants, is a great way to teach language, not only the meaning of words but also the rhythm of conversation. Reading exposes children to new experiences and stretches their imaginations. As your child grows, the

stories become longer and more complex, thus helping to develop concentration. Children also begin learning the basics of how to read, such as distinguishing text from pictures, eye movement from left to right and recognizing letter shapes and sounds. Perhaps the most important thing to me is that I enjoyed the whole process, both as a child being read to and an adult doing the reading. Sharing a book allows time for bonding, discussing ideas and experiencing emotions in a safe environment. We know reading is good, but the big question becomes what to read to these very young beings. After three sons and two grandsons, I certainly have my favorite books, and I am more than happy to share these titles with you. I must admit I usually like books with vibrant illustrations and stories that rhyme. For this you start with the master, Dr. Seuss. His “ABC Book” is perhaps the best alphabet book ever written. And “Wocket in my Pocket” allows you to read the same book over and over and not get bored. It also allows a very young child to start filling in the words if the adult reader pauses at just the
“in the shadows of Giants” book signing
michael Bayouth, co-author of “Nine degrees North,” pulls no punches telling about his stuntman father in his latest book, “In the Shadows of Giants.” He will sign and discuss his new book on Sunday, Dec. 21 at 11 a.m. at Curious Cup Bookstore, 3817 ½ Santa Claus Lane. A press release describes “In the Shadows of Giants” as a fun and dysfunctional ride from the “Hatari” movie set with John Wayne on the Serengeti in Africa to the palimony trial of Lee marvin in Los Angeles. “It’s a rough, tough roundup of what went down growing up in a Hollywood family,” claims the release.
Portals Juror talk
thomas Van Stein, a highly lauded local painter best known for his moonlit nocturnes, juried the current Carpinteria Arts Center show, Portals, and will deliver a juror’s talk that is open to the public on Sunday, Dec. 21 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the center, 855 Linden Ave. Van Stein’s resume boasts both bachelors and masters degrees in art from California State University Northridge, as well as extensive world travels and entry into art shows far and wide. His free talk at the art center will address the current exhibit. For more information, call 684-7789 or visit carpinteriaartscenter.org.

right time. Continuing with another illustrator and author, look up Mercer Mayer and the Little Critter books—always fun and usually with a moral attached. Don and Audrey Wood (I call these the Wood-Wood books) have created some of the most wondrous children’s books ever: “The Napping House,” “The Red Ripe Strawberry…,” “Quick as a Cricket,” “Silly Sally,” “Piggies” and more. Continuing, I don’t adore all of Sandra Boynton’s books but “Snuggle Puppy” and “Pajama Time” are quite fun. In fact, these can be sung as they have a catchy rhythm and words that make you smile. Also most Boynton books are board books so stand up to much handling by small fingers. I can’t talk about books for the youngest readers without mentioning “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak and “Peter Rabbit” by Beatrix Potter. “The Country Bunny” by DuBose Heyward is a book from my childhood that I adored – great story and great pictures. These books are so well known that they are must-haves for all libraries. For a list of other great books for kids go to teachersfirst.com/100books or the California Young Reader Medal site. Now to my new finds. “Little Blue Truck” by Alice Schertle is a hit with all ages (including adults), both male and female, and even teaches the value of friendship. “Jamberry” by Bruce Degenis a glorious trip to a jam jamboree. Three book series that always entertain are the Snowmen books by Caralyn Buehner, the Sheep books by Nancy Shaw, and If You Give a . . . books by Laura Numeroff. My favorite new books are “To Market,
23 tUeS.
To Market” by Anne Miranda which is so much fun I still enjoy it after reading it at least 200 times and counting. “The Pout-Pout Fish” by Deborah Diesen takes you underwater, spins you around, shakes you up and makes you grin. If you like syncopation, try “Jazz Baby” by Lisa Wheeler and R. Gregory Christie. This is more a musical experience than just a book. But my grandsons’ favorite is “Wolf’s Coming” by Joe Kulka. This is a little scary with lots of animals and a surprise ending you can’t help but like. The truth is I read books I love, but I do sometimes get roped into reading whatever my grandsons love even if it involves Batman. And if you ask any preschool teacher or librarian or bookstore owner, he or she will each have a personal list of favorite kids’ books. Check out our local library’s impressive assortment of great choices, but if you do run out of book selections, consider this. Next time you want to buy books as a gift for any children or grandchildren, do so. Read these books together at least 10 times, then donate them to your library. It’s a great way to enrich your life and someone else’s. And if you don’t have a young child to share books with, there is no law to say that you can’t still enjoy “The Magic School Bus” or “Balloon Farm” or “Pete & Pickles” on your own. Melinda Wittwer first moved to Carpinteria in 1972 and taught mostly junior high students in Oxnard during her 25-year career. Now retired, she enjoys pottery, writing, books and travel.

Spice of life
Two young men were contacted on a bus bench after a report that they were likely intoxicated on an unknown substance at noon on Dec. 4 on Malibu Drive. When the deputy approached them, he noticed a glass pipe with a crushed green leafy substance in it. Due to his training and experience, the deputy surmised it was marijuana, but the young men, 18 and 19, said it was incense. A records check revealed that both men had warrants out for their arrests. The deputy arrested them and found a white piece of paper containing more of the green stuff, and on closer examination he realized it likely wasn’t marijuana but a synthetic substitute known as Spice. The deputy booked the glass pipe and Spice for further examination.
Killer on the road
A man was reportedly wandering around intoxicated and telling passersby that he was going to shoot them at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 4 on Linden Avenue. When deputies caught up with the allegedly violent man on the street, they found him to be too intoxicated to string three words together to explain himself. His clothes were also soaked in an unknown substance. Thinking that if the man was left to his own devices he’d continue threatening people and possibly have an interaction escalate into a fight, deputies decided to put him behind bars. To get him there, due to the man’s size, they had to string together two pair of handcuffs. He reportedly threatened the officers on the way to jail.
See no evil, hear no evil
A woman pulled over for allegedly running a stop sign at Santa Monica Road and Via Real at 12:05 a.m. on Dec. 10 wanted so badly to avoid getting arrested that she attempted the out-ofsight, out-of-mind method of wishing the deputy away. At the 32-year-old woman’s car window, the deputy immediately whiffed alcohol. However, she said she hadn’t had a drop. The deputy attempted to get her to conduct field sobriety tests, but she asked if she could skip the drunk driving examination and simply walk home. She was a good person, she said. The deputy didn’t dispute what kind of person she was but said she would have to be investigated for his suspicion that she was driving under the influence. She then said that she could not hear or see the officer, who stood three feet from her as she sat on the curb and began to cry. The woman refused to take a breath test. Then, when at the jail, the nurse who was to conduct a blood draw refused to stick the woman with a needle. The woman had said she had a bleeding condition.

Big Jim Williams publishes “Cattle Drive”
Big Jim Williams has spent 20 years plugging away at his yarns as part of Carpinteria Writers Group, and the multi-decade effort paid off recently with the publication of his debut novel, “Cattle Drive.” High Noon Press recently released the Williams’ title about the Wild, Wild West, where cowboys did whatever it took to survive. Williams commented that every word of the original manuscript benefited from readings of the writers group members, “who provided excellent and welcome feedback, suggestions, and encouragement.” He pointed out the specific assistance of writers group leader Judy Pearce for keeping the group together all those years. “Cattle Drive” is available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Fishing tourney raises $1,600 for marsh restoration
taste of the town taste of the town The Sportfishing Conservancy, together with representatives of several area tackle shops and fishing clubs, presented The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County with a check for $1,600 this week to support ongoing restoration of the Carpinteria Salt Marsh. The funds were raised by the recent 2014 No Motor Tournament, an annual conservation-oriented event where coastal anglers compete for prizes and bragging rights by fishing from the beach, kayaks or stand-up paddleboards. “This year was our best yet for the No Motor Tournament in terms of participating anglers, support from the local community and money raised,” said Tom Raftican, president of The Sportfishing Conservancy. “These tidal marshlands are few and far between in California today, and are critical to populations of many fish species that grow up here before moving out to the ocean. It’s very important that we work together to protect these areas for our kids and make sure that future generations have something to fish for.”

Talented Rams ready for TVL
Next week: Warrior basketball hits the court December 18 - 24, 2014
BY PETER DUGRÉ
Cate School boys soccer enjoyed a run of success at the top of Condor League, a grouping of small private schools, but a CIF re-leaguing has landed the talented squad in the stronger Tri-Valley League, the same grouping as Carpinteria High School, starting this season. The team returns ball-handling wizard Geoffrey Acheampong who is a breakaway threat each time the ball touches his feet. Coach Peter Mack called the squad deep and said the team looks forward to the transition to TVL: “We’re used to playing high caliber teams outside our league. Now, we face high caliber teams within the league,” he stated. In addition to Acheampong, the team returns seniors Iman Fardghassemi, Djata Nyaawie, Patty Thomas and Danny Rodriguez. Mack commented that this team particularly “can be explosive offensively,” and has potent weapons. Junior Joel Serugo will shift to the center back position this season, placing the responsibility of directing the defense on the athletic talent. I think a lot of people are going to be surprised by what they see from (Serugo),” Mack stated. “He’s a real talent back there, and he’s found a new gear this year.” Serugo will be the last line of defense in front of junior goalkeeper Keller Mochel, who has already proven a valuable asset in wins over San Marcos High School and St. Bonaventure High School. Sophomores Ryan Borchardt and Christian Herman also played varsity last year and have already stepped up their games. Herman has two goals so far and Ryan has been a menace in holding his midfield spot. In addition to Cate’s leap from Condor to TVL, the team now joins CIF SS Division 4 for playoff bracketing. Cate’s
BILL SWING PHOTOS
Cate soccer player Geoffrey Acheampong will continue to mystify defenders with dazzling footwork in his senior season. two recent CIF championships in 2011 and 2012 came in Division 7. Now the team will compete against larger schools. Where Cate enrolls a total of 135 boys, some of the Division 4 competition sees that number of students try out for the soccer team. “The margin for error for us has narrowed severely. But my guys love the challenge before them,” Mack said. The stiffer challenges for the team
means that it can’t afford to take a day off, and to meet the more demanding schedule, players will have to up their fitness level, an area the Rams have always prided themselves on, accord-
ing to Mack. “We also have a number of new guys at the varsity level, and they are adjusting to the more physical style of play and the pace of play. This is a learning process, but we’re getting it.”

Girls soccer
Cate School
Dec. 9 – Cate girls soccer collected its first victory of season, a 3-2 home triumph over New Jewish Community. The Rams scored first as Hannah Bowlin chased a long Charlotte Monke pass on a break away in the seventh minute of play. Hannah had a defender practically climbing onto her back as she took control of the ball and calmly slipped it past the NJC keeper. Both Cate and New Jewish Community had opportunities to score in the first half, but the score remained 1-0 going into halftime. NJC evened the score in the 45th minute of play. Cate regained the lead 10 minutes later when freshmen and fellow Carpinterians Sophie Johnson and Isabel Montes De Oca teamed up for the second goal. Montes De Oca took Johnson’s pass just outside the box, and in traffic she delivered a shot to the upper right corner for her first goal in a Cate uniform. New Jewish Community came back less than two minutes later to tie the game at 2-2. Four minutes after NJC tied the game, Montes De Oca passed across the box to Victoria Herman who put the ball into the back of the net to reclaim the lead. Cate defenders Lucia Johnson and Sumner Matthews kept NJC at bay while goalkeeper Emma Liberman protected the net. Dec. 11 - Cate girls soccer traveled to Santa Barbara and captured a 3-0 lead over rival Laguna Blanca High School. Isabela Montes De Oca notched the first Ram goal five minutes into the contest on a cross pass from Charlotte Monke. It was the second goal of the week for Montes De Oca. Anna Graves then sank a goal on a heads up play in front of the net off a cross from the right side delivered by Ellie Vogel. The Rams led 2-0 at halftime and Hannah Bowlin struck with an insurance goal off a Lucia Johnson corner kick with five minutes to play. Cate coach Lisa Holmes credited the defensive unit of Johnson, Taylor Bigony, Mari Espinoza, Kyomi Ran and Sophie Johnson in the shutout. Emma Liberman held down the goalie box.
Boys soccer
Dec. 9 – Cate boys soccer started slow but finished strong in a 4-2 victory over Division 1 opponent San Marcos High School in Santa Barbara. Scoring began 1 minute in when San Marcos took advantage of some lackuster midfield and defensive Cate play. That seemed to give the Rams a little urgency, and Christian Herman equalized just 14 minutes later off a cross from Iman Fardghassemi. But in the 22nd minute, San Marcos struck again to take a 2-1 lead. Cate again battled back and evened the score at 2-2 when Djata Nyaawie redirected Ben Jessup’s long throw into the upper corner of the San Marcos goal. In the 52nd minute, Geoffrey Acheampong hit the crossbar on a penalty kick, but 10 minutes later Cate earned another penalty after getting taken down in the box and converted to give the Rams their first lead of the day. Seven minutes later, Acheampong headed Jessup’s long throw into the back of the net to give Cate a two-goal cushion that it would maintain. Coach Peter Mack commented, “I give a ton of credit to our guys. It’s not easy to bounce back from such a flat start against a team that can make you pay for your mistakes.” Dec. 11 – Cate boys soccer suffered its first defeat of the season, a 3-2 home defeat in heart-breaking fashion when Pacifica High School hit the game winner in the final two minutes. Pacifica applied all the pressure early in the match and built a 1-0 lead after 28 minutes that lasted until halftime, “mostly due to Cate’s good last line of defense and Keller Mochel in net,” according to coach Peter Mack. Pacifica went ahead 2-0 in the 50th minute, but a minute later, Cate’s Geoffrey Acheampong ripped a shot from 20 yards out that pinged the bottom of the crossbar to bring the Rams within striking distance. Cate’s high defensive pressure in the midfield helped create scoring opportunities, and Acheampong made good again in the 72nd minute, converting a penalty kick after getting taken down in the box. The final eight minutes of play saw good scoring opportunities for both sides, but Pacifica was able to convert on a shot from 22 yards out that found the left side netting, making the final score 3-2.
Girls water polo
Dec. 9 – Cate girls water polo opened the season with a 12-10 victory over visiting Hueneme High School. Olivia Cannell scored six goals to lead the way for the Rams, and Ally Satterfield and Lydia Stevens scored two apiece. The Rams fell behind 6-3 and rode the speed and shooting of Cannell to get back into the game. The Rams trailed 6-5 at halftime.

Olmsteads lead BYU women to Final Four
Underdog Brigham Young University women’s volleyball, coached by Shawn and Heather Olmstead, qualified for the NCAA Final Four with a win over #14 Nebraska. The Cougars entered the tournament unseeded but have knocked off #11 Arizona and #6 Florida State to get to their first Final Four since 1993. The Cougars look to extend their Cinderella run into the finals with a semifinal match against Texas on Thursday, Dec. 18. The match will be nationally televised at 4 p.m. on ESPN2.
Dec. 11 - Cate girls water polo lost 9-6 at Moorpark High School. The teams traded goals early in the match and entered halftime at 3-2 Moorpark, but the hosts won the second half 6-4. “Numerous Cate scoring opportunities were squandered due to errant passes, which then led to three counterattack goals for the Sharks at the other end in the third and fourth quarters,” commented coach Nathan Alldredge. Olivia Cannell and Lydia Stevens had two goals apiece, and Anna and Ally Satterfield each scored a goal. “All in all the game was a great learning experience. The team learned much of what it needs to concentrate on this year, and the girls will make the necessary corrections as the season progresses,” Alldredge said.
Boys basketball
Dec. 10 – Cate boys basketball picked up a 58-44 victory at Valley Christian Academy in Santa Maria. The Rams plodded through a sluggish start and trailed 18-17 at halftime. Cate’s Noah Somaratne and Nick Thomas kept the Rams in the game as the two scored almost all of the team’s first half points. Marko Pliso scored all of his game high 22 points in the second half. Thomas had 20 points, and Somaratne added 10. Dec. 12 – At the Ojai Classic hosted by Villanova Prep, Cate boys basketball defeated Providence High School 54-34. In a team effort, 8-of-11 Ram players scored, and the team was able to use stifling defense to build its double-digit lead. Marko Pliso scored a game-high 17 points and Nick Thomas scored 13 points, nine of which came in the first quarter.

Coastal View News • Tel: (805) 684-4428 Dec. 13 – In the Ojai Classic semifinals, Cate boys basketball lost to host Villanova Prep 68-51. Coach Bryan Rodriguez commented that the team was out of sync due to full court pressure but it was a hard-fought, aggressive contest. Marko Pliso kept the Rams in the game by hitting three, first-half 3-pointers. Nick Thomas scored eight of his 14 points in the fourth quarter but the Rams could not catch up. Rodriguez commented, “I was really proud of the heart that our team played with for four quarters, despite the challenges.

FIELD OF DREAMS COME TRUE
Los Altos Tournament – Warrior girls water polo went 2-3 to place seventh in the competitive field of 15 at the Los Altos Tournament.

While all the ladies contributed over the weekend, freshman Lili Castillo made an immediate impact in her first foray into varsity play with four goals and six steals. The team’s leading scorer for the event was junior Brenda Rodriguez with 11 goals.
A Special Thanks to Kathy Abney for all she does for the Festival
Girls soccer
Dec. 10 - Warrior girls soccer tied St. Bonaventure 0-0. Despite the blank scoreboard, coach Charles Bryant commented that the team played well, particularly an organized defense that held the back line and supported the attack. Monica Garcia and Alejandra Alvarez were main contributors to the shutout effort, according to Bryant. Warrior midfielders Kelsie Bryant and Alexa Benitez also controlled the ball, but the Warriors had difficulty creating quality chances at the net. “We had plenty of possession in their offensive third; we just didn’t pull the trigger on enough shots,” Charles said. The team improved to 1-0-1 overall.
Boys soccer
Dec. 10 – Warrior boys soccer dropped an away match 3-0to Oxnard High School, “a physical and rugged opponent,” according to Warrior coach Leo Quintero. The Warriors allowed a goal in the seventh minute, but the score held at 1-0 at halftime. The Yellowjackets capitalized again in the seventh minute of the second half and struck again on a penalty kick in the final minute. “Again our team held its own against a higher division pre season opponent, and we welcome any challenge from any division. Tough opponents makes us a tougher team,” Quintero said. He credited freshmen Luis Garcia and Vincent Gonzalez for stepping up in big ways on the shorthanded squad.
Girls basketball
Dec. 12 – Warrior girls basketball defeated San Marcos High School 47-23 in what coach Dan Mercer called “the most complete game” of the young season. Tori Kelley led the way with 12 points, three assists and six steals. Sienna Caudillo had BILL SWING nine points; Monique Sanchez had Warrior basketball player Tori Kelley eight points, eight rebounds and five steals; Sierra Diaz had six points and pulls up for layup in the paint in a Warrior win over San Marcos. six rebounds.

An eager crowd awaits the announcement of who won the next tree. Festival of Trees Co-Chairs Vince Choate and Rick Abney facilitate the raffle draw.
Festival of Trees sets new fundraising record
twenty-six Christmas trees accompanied by heaps of goodies found happy homes last weekend when the Carpinteria Lions Club wrapped up its annual Festival of trees on dec. 14. the success of this year’s fundraiser exceeded any prior year, and sales of $1 tickets toward the 26 trees amounted to $20,891. Each year a youth program benefits from the festival, and this year’s proceeds have been earmarked for the Carpinteria high School Softball team Field of dreams project. Girls and coaches from the softball team manned shifts each weekend of the festival, encouraging passersby to come in and participate in the community event. mary beth mayhew, winner of the California Avocado Festival tree, said the softball girls were the ones that got her in the door. She originally bought five tickets, but ultimately purchased $100 worth of tickets. the trees and all of the decorations on the brotherhood of Carpinteria tree, won by debi matlock, and the Rincon Cycles tree, won by Roberta Lehtinen, were gifted forward to families at the Children’s Project at main. the Lehtinens also donated the bicycle on the Rincon Cycles tree for a deserving child.

From left, Jackie Hollander, Kendra Roldan and Perla Miranda learn new skills at a “coding party.”
Girls Inc. gets with the programming
Girls inc. of Carpinteria held a “coding party” on dec. 12 in support of made with Code, the Google initiative aimed to inspire millions of girls to learn computer coding and how learning computer programming language can play a role in their future. Approximately 25 local teenage girls, including current and former members of Girls inc.’s teen Program, participated in the workshop, putting their creative minds into high-gear and exploring the countless possibilities of what can be done through code. Following a brief overview about made with Code and how coding touches every part of our world, the girls selected one of the five creative projects offered to jump into, from composing their own unique soundtrack to building an avatar with 3d personality, all through code. “As parents, teachers and role models, we all have a responsibility to help make coding relevant and exciting for girls, and to provide them with just as much encouragement as we do for boys,” said Victoria Juarez, executive director of Girls inc. of Carpinteria. “Google’s made with Code initiative falls in line with our commitment at Girls inc. to teaching girls that no matter what they want to do with their futures, Stem skills—including computer science—can help them get there.”
my garden’s lettuce and Swiss chard are finally thriving which means that cooler weather has at last arrived on the South Coast. Since we like to wear lightweight clothing year-round, this chill in the air brings with it some questions about getting dressed each day. Layering is something that savvy dressers have been doing forever, but i have some specific suggestions for men and women in our region. i’m a big fan of camisoles for women and fitted T-shirts for men under shirts or sweaters. (i stress fitted because you don’t want your undershirt bunching up under your next layer.) While i like the look of and used to love wearing heavy wool sweaters, i’ve become enamored with lightweight merino wool sweaters. they work well for men and women, in V-neck, crew neck or cardigan styles, and come in myriad colors and patterns. best of all, they are reasonably priced. i’ve seen them at Costco and department stores in town (where there is always a sale!), and very nice ones from the online site uniqlo. if you are allergic to wool, look for tightly woven sweaters in cotton or a cotton blend. Another thing to keep in mind is the fit of sweaters, which should not be overly loose or too tight. try them on with a shirt underneath to make sure you get the right size. there is not much to do tailoring-wise with an ill-fitting sweater. Petite women (5’ 4” and under) should look for petite sized sweaters to ensure that the sleeves are not too long. Coats and jackets might sound like silly things to invest in since they are worn so infrequently in Santa barbara County. however, if you buy a wellmade, classic one, it will serve you for many years. think of your coat or jacket purchase as an investment. For men, a coat that comes below your waist—a bit longer than a blazer—is practical. Look for one in a neutral color, such as navy, gray or black, and make sure it has a warm lining (all the better if the lining is remov-
able). Styles to consider are pea coats and barn jackets. these are two timeless styles, which look good with jeans, khaki pants and casual pants. Fashionable men tend to have at least one spiffy dark colored or khaki raincoat that hits them below the knee. however, most of the men i see just rely on an umbrella to keep them dry. the best all-around coat for women is a trench. Look for one that hits you midthigh if you wear pants all the time or just above your knee. the longer style is more versatile in that it looks great worn with pants and dresses and skirts. in the past, women had to make sure that their coat was the same length as their skirt or dress, but it’s okay nowadays if the coat is shorter. A removable lining in the coat means you can wear it when the weather warms up again. i’ve found that neutral trench coats in navy, camel and black complement every wardrobe while ones in animal prints, metallic fabrics and bright patterns can add real punch to outfits. Pea coats, which hit below the waist in black, navy, camel or gray look smart and look best with casual pants and jeans. As far as a light raincoat goes, i suggest a metallic or printed one to cheer you up on dreary, gray days. but there are always navy, black and khaki colored ones on the market. On a cool day, a layered work outfit for a woman can be slacks, a camisole with a blouse or knit top, and a sweater. if you want to wear a skirt or dress, tights and boots are the way to go. tying a scarf around your neck will keep you warm, as will the coat you put on before leaving the house. A layered outfit for men consists of a tshirt, dress shirt and/ or a sweater, a plaid or plain colored scarf and a jacket or coat. Colorful, whimsical socks abound for both men and women, and they are a chic, easy way to keep your feet warm. Let me assure you that i understand the temptation to wear pajama bottoms, a thermal t-shirt, a big, sloppy sweatshirt and ugg boots when it gets cold. Few outfits are more comfortable! but if you plan to go outside and see others, take the time to put on jeans, boots, a nice long-sleeve knit top or a t-shirt with a sweater or chic sweatshirt, scarf and down vest or jacket. Yes, it can be challenging to put all of those layers on in lieu of PJs, but you will feel and look cozy and stylish!

SKATE PARK Continued from page 1
In favor of building a place for the alternative sport, local resident and Skateboard Hall of Fame inductee Peggy Oki told the council, “I say different strokes for different folks. Kids and adults need different ways to express themselves.” She also said much smaller cities like Moab, Utah, population 5,000, had built skate parks. Local parent Ben Pitterlee said the community needs to make older youth feel welcome and not marginalized. “As a community, it’s important to build a place for older youth where they want to be, where we know they are and where they’ll be safe,” he said. The Carpinteria Skate Foundation had originally focused its efforts on what it envisioned as a community skategarden at the 5th Street property adjacent to the Amtrak platform but could not convince property neighbors that a skatepark would not be a nuisance. The city has acquired a $350,000 grant to build a community garden at the city-owned site, and Roberts suggested that the timeline of building a skatepark into the garden project could jeopardize that grant by delaying construction. The grant expires in 20 months. “There’s a timeline fuse burning on getting the community garden built,” Roberts said. City council members used Tomol Park and the Carpinteria Bluffs as models for public-private partnerships for getting the skatepark constructed. In its motion, the council directed staff to design a partnership with Carpinteria Skate Foundation to help fund construction and maintenance of the park. Recently Carpinteria Rotary Club spearheaded the Tomol Interpretive Play Area, fundraised to see the project through and is forming an endowment fund for park maintenance. The city hall location was also seen as advantageous for the availability of utilities and potential to also be a venue for special events. Roberts said that an amphitheater element could be built as a functional skate obstacle and stage. The Carpinteria Skate Foundation had provided conceptual plans for a 5th Street skategarden but designs for what might be at city hall are yet to be seen, and any progress toward groundbreaking must be permitted through traditional city processes. Some adjustment to the longterm plan for the city hall property will need to happen in order to build the skatepark there. The area had been slated for a potential Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office Emergency Operations Center, but Roberts was optimistic that both a skatepark and EOC can be accommodated.

As Santa packs his sled and prepares to visit all of Carpinteria’s good girls and boys, does he reminisce about the heyday of his namesake lane? As pictured above, the Santa Claus Lane of 1969 buzzed with activity centered around the jolly old elf and other bright and shiny symbols of Christmas. The train was a big hit with the kids, and longtime locals remember looping around its mini-tracks in front of Santa’s kitchen. To become an honorary citizen of Santa Claus, Calif., children were required to take a 10-part pledge that included CArPiNteriA VAlley MuSeuM of HiStory commitments to keeping their room clean, NOT making unnecessary As the nation gears up for March Madness (starting 19), last CVNbut noise, eating the food their parents say is good for March them and, thought it would be appropriate to stoke the fire of excitement with an not least, believing in Santa Claus. image of Carpinteria’s version of highly competitive basketball.

Glasgows do Europe for 45-year mark
CVN enjoyed a colossal view while traveling with Tom and Judy Glasgow from London to Milan with stops in Edinburgh, Glasgow (of course), Paris, Venice, Rome, Florence, Pisa and Vernazza-Cinque Terre. The nearly month-long tour was a celebration of 45 years of marriage for the Glasgows, who yanked out the travel-weary CVN at the Roman Colosseum.
Kutzner knocks off 99th country
Carol Kutzner, a former Carpinteria Junior High School teacher, traveled to country #99 on her list, Guyana, South America. “It was very strenuous for me, climbing heavily forested mountains,” stated Kutzner, who commented that spectacular animals of the avian variety topped her list favorite things in Guyana. She also had up-close and personal experiences with caimans, monkeys, giant anteaters and otters. When Kutzner touches down in Uruguay in January she will have reached the 100 th country of her lifetime.

THe most wonderful time of the year PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON
Linden Avenue has never seen so much parade love. Over 500 people in 41 entries made their way down the street on Dec. 13 in the 2014 Holiday Spirit Parade. Typically, a blinkand-you-miss-it kind of affair, this year’s parade was chock full of new floats and faces. And, as luck would have it, the sun smiled down on it, emerging over the weekend for a brief
window between rainstorms. A new element to the parade was a window display contest. The 900 block of Linden Avenue got into the festivities, and winners were announced in four categories: Homestead for “Best overall,” Whimsy for “Throw back to 1965,” Magpie for “Carpinteria spirit” and Seastrand for “Holiday tradition.”
ABOVE, Bradley Miles steers the City of Carpinteria 50th Anniversary float, sponsored by Future Farmers of America, through town. The parade kicked off a full year of anniversary activities planned for the Carpinteria. LEFT, Representing the next generation of Carpinteria Colsons are, from left, Eli Perez, Drew Autu and Ezren Colson. RIGHT, The cutest rodents on Linden Avenue, from left, Evangeline Barton-Grimley, Greta Alldredge, Lyanna Carrillo and Nathalie Contreras will appear in this weekend’s production of “The Nutcracker” by Curtis Studio of Dance.
ABOVE, Carpinterian of the Year John Cerda waves to the crowd while David Powdrell steers his shiny red sled. RIGHT, The Traveling Hurtados, made up of Bobby Montanes, Hector Hurtado and Steve Puailoa, jam in the back of the Fosters Freeze truck driven by Gary Dobbins.

Swapping his reindeer for horses and his sled for a carriage, Santa cruises along the Carpinteria Spirit Parade route with the Goodfield family of Los Padres Outfitters.
Dr. Gayla Kalp Jackson, Ms. California Senior America 2014, added mature glamour to this year’s parade.

Lively candy canes dance down the street representing Curtis Studio of Dance. From left are Mika Mullikin, Cassandra Wynne, Tsering Wynne, Kaia Greenburg, Althea Gheen, Nevaeh Hernandez and Charlotte Smith.
John Palminteri impersonator Eydie Kaufman gets a nod from the real deal and his iconic moustache.
No parade is complete without horses. This year’s Holiday Spirit Parade included many of the stately animals as well as their smaller cousin, the mule.
LEFT, Island Brewing Company flag girls bring their bubbly personalities to the parade. They spun flags and themselves to the sounds of the IBC band.
RIGHT, Carpinteria’s fourlegged friends tap into the spirit of the season with jolly accessories and overall joie de vivre.
