This week’s listings on the back page
Merry Christmas, Carpinteria Carpinteria might not offer traditional Christmas experiences like sledding or snowball fights or even much demand for hot cocoa by a fire. Nonetheless, we at Coastal View News firmly believe that there is no better place to spend the holidays than here in the 93013, where Santa’s bounty can be enjoyed under a bright blue sky in T-shirts and shorts. CVN is proud to put its 21st Christmas edition in readers’ hands this week. Our publishers and staff thank readers for picking up their local paper every Thursday and supporting the businesses who advertise in these pages. We love bringing you the news of your community; it’s our community too. As we stop to savor another Christmas in Carpinteria, we hope you will too. Or Hannukah, or Kwanzaa, or all of the above. And if sledding is at the top of your Christmas wish list, just head to the city beach berm with a boogie board.
Isabel Shepard Castro encourages her reluctant granddaughter, Denise Castro Helm, to meet Santa Claus at the annual Carpinteria Lions Club Christmas party held at the Veteran’s Memorial Building in 1964. This year’s party—held 50 years after the photo above was snapped—was attended by Denise’s grandchildren.

briefly
Cancer patients benefit from local generosity
Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital nurse Lynn Petersen credits the “selfless acts of Carpinterians” for a new patient library in the hospital’s oncology department. Petersen decided to gather a collection of books on a cart that could be wheeled to patients’ bedsides. By posting a few fliers and spreading the word at The Gym Next Door, Vista De Santa Barbara mobile home park and The Church of the Comforter in Santa Barbara, she was able to create a well-stocked lending library. Claudia Kirby and Joanne Wagner donated considerable material, and Debbie Roth and Elizabeth Hernandez also contributed critically to the effort. As a result, the patients have benefited, Petersen said. She described a particularly rewarding example: “As I was making rounds one night, I heard one of my patients chuckling. I came over to ask him what he found humorous. He smiled and said that he was reading Erma Bombeck’s book about how people remind her of animals.”

Harrison to collect trash on Fridays during holiday season
In observance of the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, the employees of E.J. Harrison & Sons will be taking the days off. As a result, Carpinteria residential customers will have their trash and recyclables collected on Friday, Dec. 26, and their trash and green waste on Friday, Jan. 2, one day later than usual. The regular Thursday trash collection schedule in Carpinteria will return on Jan. 8. For the two weeks following Christmas, Harrison will allow residents to put out twice the amount of trash at no extra charge. Trash must be in bags and boxes flattened. For Christmas tree recycling, Harrison asks that trees be cleared of decorations and stands and cut into sections no more than four feet in length and placed with yard waste on scheduled pickup days. For more information, call 647-1414.

First Day Hike planned for Jelly Bowl to Rincon
Carpinteria State Beach Interpretive Specialist Leanne Roth is preparing to kick off the New Year with another First Day Hike on Thursday, Jan. 1 at 1 p.m. This year’s walk will begin at the Carpinteria State Beach Jelly Bowl Parking Lot, then proceed along the bluffs to Rincon Point, where walkers will turn around and return to Jelly Bowl to complete the almost 5-mile walk. Roth said, “Our return trip has been timed with the day’s low tide. We will take the opportunity to walk most of the way back on the wide beach, keeping our eyes out for tide pool critters and the many migratory birds that are visiting our shores this time of year.” Hikers should be 12 years or older and should bring appropriate clothing for the weather, sun hat, sunscreen, water, binoculars and sturdy shoes good for both trail and sand. Parking fees at Carpinteria State Beach will be waived for participants.

Halos Pitchforks
&
A reader sends a halo to the kind woman at the post office who was so generous with her packing tape. “When the great scorer in the clouds judges you, he’ll surely note your thoughtfulness.” A reader sends a halo to the Carpinteria City Council for its decision to build a skatepark—and to build it at the Thunderbowl. “Hooray!” A reader sends a halo to Father Martini for a beautiful blessing on the reader’s daughter’s quinceañera.
A reader sends a halo to the Blums. “God bless you for all the effort on your Christmas wonderland for all of us to enjoy.” A reader sends a halo to Giannfranco’s Trattoria for their delicious food and for making us feel so special. A reader sends a halo the City of Carpinteria for pulling the trigger on the repave job on Carpinteria Avenue. “My bicycle glides along that smooth surface.” A reader sends a halo to the bagpipe player in the holiday parade. “Great job. Scotland the brave!” A reader sends a halo to Cobie the flower lady at the farmer’s market. “Your flowers are grown locally, and your prices are so good.” A reader sends a halo to all the people of Carpinteria who bought a Christmas tree from the Boy Scouts pack 50. “Thank you for supporting our boys.”
A reader sends a halo to Trieste Lane Joey Blum for the best lights again this year. “You rock bop, and Nikolina and Sienna loved ’em.”

A reader sends a halo to the customers of the Carpinteria Boys Scouts Christmas tree lot for supporting local boys scouts and cub scouts. “We’ll really enjoy our summer camp!” A reader sends a pitchfork to the Coastal View News for not posting my pitchfork about the Coastal View News for not posting my prior pitchfork about the Coastal View News. A reader sends a pitchfork to a local retail nursery owner for watering container plants without a hose shutoff. “The owner has been seen several times letting water run while going from row to row watering the plants. There is a lot of water runoff being wasted.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the city’s disorderly and erratic repaving of Carpinteria Avenue. “It will be nice once it’s done, but it’s being managed poorly and creating traffic nightmares that are unnecessary and could be avoided with some intelligent planning.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the driver of a white pickup who did not stop at the pedestrian crossing on Palm Avenue. “You saw me crossing, and rather than stop, you sped up and almost hit me. Hardly a good ambassador for your company.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the inconsiderate person(s) who kept sending text/voice to a postal clerk during business hours.

Questions about Freemasonry?

To mark the 75 anniversary of the film, Plaza Playhouse Theater will sc reen “The Wizard of Oz” on Saturday, Dec. 27 at 7 p.m. The classic film starring 16-yearold Judy Garland was not always as ubiquitously loved. When it was released in 1939, even with inventive special effects and a new film process called Technicolor, it failed to become a box office hit. It wouldn’t be until the advent of television—when it began to be seen on a near yearly basis beginning in the mid1950s—that it took on “classic” status. The film has recently gone through a 4K digital restoration and will be seen in its original aspect ratio, just as audiences saw it projected in 1939. Ticket holders will be eligible for a number of door prizes, including a Blu-Ray version of the film and a coffee table sized book honoring the 75th Anniversary of the movie. Tickets are $5 and available online at plazatheatercarpinteria. com or at Seastrand, 919 Linden Ave. The theater is located at 4916 Carpinteria Ave.

Happy holidays start with acceptance
The holiday season is fascinating to me because it can be a time of great joy and a time of great anxiety. While the opportunity to be surrounded by family and friends can intensify a sense of connection for some, it creates a sense of loneliness for others. Insecurity about money and gift giving, the uncertainty about the upcoming New Year and the pressure to be social can make the holidays feel like something to be endured rather than savored. All of this makes the holiday season a wonderful opportunity to practice acceptance and compassion. The psychological flexibility that is created by this practice borders on a superpower. The research is clear—acceptance and compassion lead to increased happiness and appreciation for life, greater resilience and growth in the face of challenge, more meaningful and rewarding relationships and stronger problemsolving skills. I know from firsthand experience how powerful this practice can be. I struggled for many years with overwhelming anxiety and doubt—especially in social situations. I tried selfmedicating and distracting myself with all kinds of unhealthy activities, none of which did anything more than offer a temporary escape. When I started a mindfulness practice in my late 20s, I began to get a sense of how physical the whole experience was—thoughts of harsh self-judgment and fear were accompanied by sensations in my stomach, chest and throat. I tried figuring out where these came from and why I was feeling them. I tried blaming my parents, my past, my genes and the people around me. When nothing else seemed to work, when I ran out of other strategies, I was left with acceptance. I fumbled my way through the practice of just allowing discomfort to come and go. After countless deep breaths and many reminders
that what I had tried in the past wasn’t working, something started to happen. More of the time I was able to notice when anxiety arose without reacting to it. With more practice, I found that I could smile gently in recognition of anxiety and then move my attention to what really mattered. Acceptance can be confused with resignation or apathy, but it is not the same as giving up or doing nothing. Acceptance is an active approach to unwanted experience—it creates the space to respond based on what matters most. For example, accepting that people are hungry can lead to addressing the problem. Accepting that meeting new people comes with a tight chest and racing heart can lead to connecting with others in meaningful ways. The vulnerability to accept that you get scared or anxious is a prerequisite for courage. If you are human, you are going to experience discomfort. If you focus your energy on avoiding discomfort, then you are going to miss out on a lot of wonderful opportunities to enjoy, grow, contribute and achieve. When a difficult circumstance arises and you are feeling uncomfortable, acceptance is a crucial step in the process of refocusing your attention on what is important to you. No matter how you celebrate the holidays, you can give yourself and others the gift of acceptance and compassion. It certainly fits with the spirit of the season, and you may be surprised with the results. Dave Mochel has taught classes in neuroscience, wellbeing and leadership for 25 years.

Beatles conclave music beat MARK BRICKLEY
An evening with Art Garfunkel
Legendary folk harmonist Art Garfunkel recently performed at Cal Poly University, San Luis Obispo. The campus’s stylish, tiered performing arts center provided a dramatic setting as Paul Simon’s vocal partner sauntered on stage. He immediately engaged the audience. “I know, I look older right? And I have less hair,” he laughed. The evening was filled with Garfunkel’s relaxed touch as he reached deep into the Simon and Garfunkel songbook. The 73-year-old singer’s pitch perfect voice floated over the audience. He repeatedly brought us to our feet applauding his soaring renditions of Simon and Garfunkel hits including “Homeward Bound” and “Sounds of Silence.” He was accompanied by an outstanding solo guitarist, Tab Leven, whose flawless finger picking beautifully recreated Paul Simon’s signature style and cadence in
It’s been 14 years since Los Angles hosted a Fest For Beatles Fans. I was present for October’s three-day event, held at the impressive Marriott LAX Airport Hotel. The Beatles Fest featured dozens of speakers and musicians connected to the Fab Four. Santa Barbara writer Dee Elias signed copies of her new book “Confessions of a Beatlemanic!!” The effervescent author reveals how she slipped into a swank Cleveland hotel in 1964 and wound up face to face with the Beatles. On Friday evening, three former members of Paul McCartney’s band Wings (guitarists Denny Laine, Laurence Juber and drummer Denny Seiwell) performed together accompanied by talented house band Liverpool. Badfinger guitarist Joey Molland joined the ensemble, playing hits including “Baby Blue” and “No Matter What.” After screening her documentary film, “Good Ol’ Freda,” Beatles Fan Club Secretary Freda Kelly was mobbed by affectionate, autograph SUBMITTED PHOTO seeking fans. On Saturday night, British pop singer Billy J. Kramer, right, and columnist Mark Brickley present the camera with an image of Kramer and The British singer Billy J. Beatles. Kramer reprised his 1963 number one U.K. hit “Bad To Me,” “Kathy’s Song,” “The Boxer” and “Scarwhich was written by John Lennon. The borough Fair.” Between songs, Garfunkel read anecevening’s most startling moment was Kramer’s revelation that he turned down dotes from his yet unpublished autobiPaul McCartney’s famous ballad “Yes- ography. He shared stories about acting terday.” Kramer painfully remembered with Jack Nicholson in the film “Carnal saying to McCartney, “Don’t you have a Knowledge,” living in Manhattan with his wife and 5-year-old son and finally rock ‘n’ roll song?” Sunday afternoon featured singer Peter realizing the dream of performing solo Asher’s two hour showcase, “Musical in London’s Royal Albert Hall. Garfunkel said that the reason he hasn’t Memoir of The 60’s and Beyond.” He accented his multi-media concert with toured for three and a half years was behits including “World Without Love,” cause of vocal cord problems. He seemed “I Go To Pieces,” “Lady Godiva” and almost completely recovered but offered, “Woman.” Asher’s finale featured him “I’m about 96 percent back.” The only persinging in duet (to the video screen) with ceivable difference was at the very top of his musical partner who died in 2009. his range.

Avofest footnote
This year ’s Avocado Festival Main Stage shows included a breakout performance by local songwriter Jamey Geston. The seasoned Carpinteria teen showcased her rhythm guitar skills and captivating vocal style. She’s a platinum blond who knows how to bend notes. Geston was accompanied on hand-percussion by local drummer Marty Rosales. Her Saturday evening concert was set to close with an inventive cover of Beatles song “All My Loving.” Geston’s intriguing version shifted rhythm as the chorus kicked in. The large crowd wouldn’t let her leave. They called out for an encore, shouting “One more song!” Geston obliged by playing one of her own compositions. It seems this young vocalist has found her sound.
Rock trivia quiz
Q: Who suggested 1960’s British vocalist Billy Kramer add the initial J. to his name? A: Kramer’s birth name was William Howard Ashton. After being signed by Beatles manager Brian Epstein, the pop singer picked his stage name, Billy Kramer, from a London phone book. John Lennon suggested Kramer add the initial J. to his name to give it verve and flair. Kramer released the Lennon and McCartney ballad “Do You Want To Know A Secret” as a single before The Beatles included it on their first Parlophone album “Please Please Me.” This columnist had his photo taken with the 71-year-old U.K. vocalist and swears Billy J. doesn’t have a gray hair on his head.

Riding in stolen cars with boys
Deputies received a call regarding two men disturbing two women at the train station at around 11 p.m. on Dec. 16. According to the women, the men had boasted about being in possession of a stolen vehicle. Deputies contacted one of the men who issued a name and date of birth that checked out warrantless in the computer system. After briefly questioning him, they let him go. Still suspicious of the man after letting him walk, the deputy looked up his DMV photo and was surprised to see an image of a heavy-set man, when the man he had just spoken to was skinny. Deputies then found another subject on Linden Avenue who matched the description of the lady disturber with whom they had not spoken. The man, 30, was reportedly peering into businesses and yards as if he were scoping out items to steal. He said he was looking for a friend named Steve who had been at the train station. Deputies ran the man’s record and he was clean so they let him go. Later, deputies saw the original man at McDonalds and observed him. They suspected he had previously given a false name. Deputies questioned him again and found that he had given the correct name but had dropped a lot of weight, possibly due to meth use. The man was rambling and blurted something about being in the area to steal vehicles. Deputies arrested the man, 32, for likely being under the influence of meth. Deputies then continued to observe the parking lot and activity around an SUV, from which the other man, who had been contacted on Linden Avenue, and a woman, 34, emerged. Eventually, they drove off in the vehicle, which had its license plate light out, so a deputy pulled it over for a traffic stop. The driver said he had borrowed the vehicle and was heading north to visit a cousin. Asked where “north” was, the man said, “Washington.” Deputies determined the vehicle had been reported
stolen in Ventura County and ordered everyone out at gunpoint. Inside the vehicle, they found meth. Both parties were arrested for the meth and being in a stolen vehicle. Also inside the vehicle, the deputy found mail from Cameo Road residences along with an iPad, to which the occupants did not know the password.

Old Navy meth
A deputy pulled over a vehicle in a Carpinteria Avenue motel parking lot after observing the driver talking on the phone at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 15 and began to suspect that the man was likely having a conversation about dealing meth. The driver, 29, didn’t have a license, and neither did his wife, 32. They also had three kids in the backseat. When the deputy patted down the man outside of the vehicle, two bulbous objects in the man’s pocket struck the deputy as meth-pipe-shaped. The hunch was correct. A more thorough search of the vehicle revealed two nylon sacks on the driver’s side floor. One of the sacks contained loose cash and two portable scales. An Old Navy bag on the passenger’s side contained a brown bag with what the deputy called an “8-ball” of meth inside of it. The Old Navy bag also had a minicomposition book inside of it. Most of the pages were doodled in kid’s drawings but five pages were reserved for nicknames, phone numbers and dollar amounts. The deputy recognized it as a “pay-owe sheet” commonly used by drug dealers. The parents were arrested for suspicion of dealing meth, and the grandmother was called in to take custody of the children.

Behavioral healthline BY ADMHS STAFF
The facts about teen drinking
Each year in the United States nearly 200,000 people under the age of 21 visit emergency rooms for alcohol-related injuries, and approximately 2,000 individuals under 21 die in car accidents related to teen drinking. Alcohol is the most commonly used drug by teens in the United States. Although overall teenagers drink less often than adults, when they do drink, they drink more than adults. Young people average about five drinks at a time, considered to be binge drinking. Typical behavioral symptoms of teen drinking may include a changing group of friends, a significant decline in academic performance, a loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed, a decreased ability to focus, neglecting responsibilities and heightened interpersonal conflict. Often drinking masks underlying behavioral health conditions, such as depression and anxiety. “The best way for parents to deter their child from alcohol and drug use is staying in their lives as much as possible,” notes Katarina Zamora, Santa Barbara County Alcohol and Drug Program Prevention Coordinator. “This includes communicating with them, learning about their problems and stresses and letting them know your concerns about drinking or using.” Ms. Zamora explains that “as the adolescent enters into junior high and high school, clear rules regarding abstinence are very important. Data show that if children abstain from use until the age of 18, they are less likely to experience lifelong issues with alcohol or drugs.”
Season’s smells and memories for the health of it! ALI JAVANBAKHT, MD
She suggests encouraging children’s involvement in programs that encourage drug abstinence, such as the Friday Night Live/Club Live, sports and clubs with leadership opportunities. If you suspect that your child may be using alcohol or drugs, services that can help are offered by the Daniel Bryant Youth and Family Treatment Center. To find out more, call 730-7575.

During the recent holiday season, at the coaxing of my 5-year-old son, I embarked on making gingerbread cookies. The recipe called for ground cloves, which I found absolutely shocking! Where was I supposed to find a marijuana dealer who could sell me a teaspoon of the stuff all ground up? Then I realized ground cloves are sold in the grocery store in the spice aisle. Double shocking!! No wonder we’re losing the war on drugs! But that was not the worst part. The recipe also called for molasses. I had never worked with the stuff, but its reputation preceded itself. I allotted myself 45 minutes to measure out one cup. As it turns out, molasses have gotten a bum rap. Sure, they won’t be breaking any land speed records, but it’s taken me longer to get the kids into bed after reading their entire library of books and giving a dozen hugs and kisses to each of their stuffed animals. I don’t know if it was the molasses or the cloves, but something in that mix did not smell right. Nevertheless I powered on and got the job done. Of course, I realized all too late that we had no cookie cutters so we wound up with some highly creative and somewhat amorphous, gingerbread men/stars—each one absolutely unique but not necessarily in a good way. As a result of said adventure, whenever I smell molasses and/or cloves, I am reminded of that night. This is because the part of the brain that senses smell is located right next to the part of the brain that holds memories, which is why the sense of smell is so good at evoking memories. Our sense of smell is also a very strong part of our ability to taste. So our sense of smell connects us to the past and helps us enjoy the present. That is why when it is compromised; it can have a profound impact. The list of possible causes of losing the sense of smell is very long. But some of the more common causes are colds, allergies and nasal polyps. Polyps are fleshy growths that occur inside body cavities. They can occur in the nose, vocal cords and colon to name a few. In the nose, they look like shiny little
avocados hanging down from the wall of the nose. Nasal polyps can block the nose, interfering with our ability to smell. Removing or shrinking the polyp can restore air movement, which restores the sense of smell, which restores the sense of taste and improves the invocation of memories. There are two main methods for accomplishing said shrinkage. One is surgical removal of the polyps. This is like picking the nose avocado off the nose tree. The advantage of this approach is that it is quick and yields full, rapid results. The drawback is that it is a surgical procedure and does carry some risk, and the polyps can grow back. The other option is intranasal steroids. (See “Well-Defined Lungs and Nostrils,” For the Health of It! book p. 247) These sprays can help shrink the polyps enough to restore normal functioning in the nose thereby eliminating the need for surgery. The drawback to using intranasal steroids is that they need to be used on a regular basis to be effective. So while our noses worked overtime this holiday season, amplifying our sense of taste and whisking us back to the carefree days of our youths, I fear I have now been scarred for life when it comes to any type of gingerbread product. Perhaps next year I will grow me a nice nasal polyp prior to making gingerbread cookies and once the holiday season is over, I will shrink said polyp with a good, strong and persistent stream of nasal steroids. If that doesn’t work, I will seek out my friendly neighborhood Ear, Nose and Throat specialist and have it yanked out. Then, I will wear it around my neck as a pendant. Of course, I will thoroughly dry it out first so it doesn’t start to smell because that could start the cycle all over again.

Michael Bayouth releases “The Shadows of Giants”
Carpinteria author Michael Bayouth recently released his latest title, “In The Shadows of Giants,” a fun and dysfunctional, hold-no-punches account of his father’s life as a Hollywood stunt double. Bayouth’s father, Ted White, doubled as John Wayne and played the part of Jason in “Friday the 13th.” In Bayouth’s at times humorous true-life account, the reader gets first-hand wild Hollywood stories—drunken bets being settled with stunt horses parading into the living room—and bizarre domestic tales only possible in the world of a stuntman—Mom catching on fire and Dad extinguishing it as if it’s just another day on the set. “It’s a rough, tough roundup of what went down growing up in a Hollywood family,” Bayouth states. The book is available in both e-book and paperback on Amazon.com. More information on the book can be found at intheshadowsofgiants.com.

chef A different kind of sweet Date nut fig tart randy Crust ingredients RANDY GRAHAM If you’ve got a sweet tooth, this recipe will fulfill your craving without relying on loads of white sugar. It features dates, which are naturally sweet, low in sodium, rich in potassium and contain a fair amount of selenium (selenium can help lower the risk heart disease as well as help keep our immune system healthy). Now, even though dates are very nutritional by themselves, I’m not saying this is a super-nutritional recipe. Far from it. In addition to the dates, it includes a lot of other sweet tasting carbohydrates such as figs, cranberries, brown sugar and honey. So if you need to watch your sugar intake, this may not be the best recipe for you. I will say that it is a good recipe and that your friends and family, who need that once-in-a-while sugar infusion, will enjoy eating it.
3 cups flour 1 cup wheat germ 1 ½ teaspoon sea salt 1 cup plus 4 Tablespoons butter 10 – 12 Tablespoons cold water
Process
Stir together flour, wheat germ and salt. Cut butter into these dry ingredients (a pastry cutter makes this easy). When the dough is the consistency of rolled oats, sprinkle with enough of the water to hold the dough together. Form into a ball, cover and refrigerate for about an hour before rolling out into a circle approximately ¼ inch thick.

He and his wife, Robin, are retired and live in Ojai with their dog Willow, who is not a vegetarian. See valley-vegetarian.com for more recipes.
Filling ingredients
1 large egg 2 ½ Tablespoons golden brown sugar, firmly packed 2 ½ Tablespoons butter, melted 2 Tablespoons orange blossom honey 1 ¾ teaspoons orange peel, finely grated ½ cup unsalted pistachios, shelled 3 ¼ cups pitted Medjool dates, halved lengthwise ½ cup dried cranberries ½ cup dried black Mission figs, stemmed and halved Tart crust 1 cup Greek yogurt
Process
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk egg, 2 Tablespoons brown sugar, 2 Tablespoons melted butter, honey, and 1 teaspoon orange peel in medium bowl. Set aside 1 Tablespoon of the nuts for garnish. Add remaining nuts and all dried fruit to bowl with egg mixture; toss filling to coat. Unroll crust onto prepared sheet. Spoon filling into center of crust. Spread out in an even layer, leaving a 1 1/2- to 2-inch
border. Fold crust edges over filling (about an inch of the outside crust) pleating occasionally. Brush crust with remaining 1/2 Tablespoon melted butter. Finely chop reserved tablespoon of nuts. Mix chopped nuts and remaining 1/2 Tablespoon brown sugar in small bowl. Sprinkle over crust. Bake tart until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling in center, about 40 minutes. Stir yogurt and remaining 3/4 teaspoon orange peel in small bowl. Serve tart warm or at room temperature with orange-flavored yogurt on the side.

Warrior Jonathan Cleek reaches for the sky to gain possession in an overtime win against Laguna Blanca at the Jim Bashore Holiday Cage Classic.
Warrior guard Omar Miranda has been impossible to stop at the Jim Bashore Holiday Cage Classic, having scored 17, 24 and 20 in the three Warrior wins.
Warriors win three at Bashore classic CVN REPORT
Warrior boys basketball protected its home court through three games of the Jim Bashore Holiday Cage Classic. The team opened play on Dec. 19 with a 44-28 win over Santa Ynez High School. The team started slowly, falling behind 11-3 after a quarter, but senior guard Omar Miranda scored 17 points over the next three quarters while center Mason Picerni contributed 12 points to the winning effort. On Dec. 20, the Warriors squeaked by 63-57 in a seesaw effort against Laguna Blanca High School that was decided in overtime. Miranda dropped 24 points, all in the second half and overtime, and Malcolm Gordon had 13 points. The Owls led by 10 points in the third quarter before the Warriors charged back.
On Dec. 22, the Warriors defeated Hueneme High School 58-49, the second time this season the Warriors have beaten Hueneme. Though coach Johnny Ward said the Warriors were a bit out of sync, they found a way to collect the win. Miranda again led with 20 points, and Picerni had 14. Ward singled out the play of Aaron Drain and Jonathan Cleek coming off the bench as being key parts of the team’s success. The duo has filled in and provided valuable minutes. Also, senior Noah Reed has been the team’s workhorse. “He’s a do-everything kind of guy,” Ward said. Reed can muscle his way inside and take the ball up the court, providing added versatility to the squad. “He’s a very, very important part of what we do,” Ward said.

Carpinteria High School
Girls soccer
Dec. 19 – At the San Marcos Tournament, Warrior girls soccer lost 3-0 to Division 3 opponent Arroyo Grande High School. AG scored a goal late in the first half and two more early in the second half. Warrior coach Charles Bryant commented that he thought the Warriors played a good game and were simply outmatched. He singled out the play of defender Monica Garcia and midfielders Kelsie Bryant and Alejandra Alvarez as positives. In the second contest of the day, the Warriors lost 5-0 to Division 1 opponent Capistrano Valley High School. “They just did not have any weak spots to exploit, and they had a lot more in the tank than we had,” commented Charles. Laura Valdez was tested many times but came up big quite a bit in goal.

Dec. 20 – Warrior girls soccer suffered two more losses at the San Marcos Tournament. In the morning game, the team lost 4-0 to host San Marcos High School. Warrior coach Charles Bryant commented, “We just didn’t show up,” and said the team essentially handed the ball over. The second contest had better results in a 4-2 loss to Louisville High School. Kelsie Bryant scored on a free kick from 25 yards, and Jenny Alaniz knocked in a rebound off a shot by Ellie Morgan. “We had a few more opportunities and we finally started to press, but it was just a bit too late,” Charles commented.
Girls water polo
Cate School
Dec. 17 – At Santa Ynez High School, Cate girls water polo was outgunned in a 13-1 loss. Anna Satterfield scored the lone goal for the Rams. The teams played a 2-1 first quarter but it was all SY after that. “The girls kept fighting until the end however, and although the score line was a lopsided one, the team will take many lessons with them on break and into the league schedule that starts in January,” commented coach Nathan Alldredge.

Cate soccer player Geoffrey Acheampong tracks down the ball in a 2-2 tie against Dunn School.
Boys soccer
Dec. 17 – Cate boys soccer needed some late game heroics from Geoffrey Acheampong in order to pull even at 2-2 and tie visiting Dunn School. The Rams got on the board first when Acheampong served a corner kick to the far post that Christian Herman headed home. But the Earwigs responded two minutes later with a well-placed shot of their own in the upper right corner. The second half found Ram keeper Keller Mochel on the bench with an injury, and freshman midfielder Ben Jessup replaced him, even though he hadn’t played goalie since grade school. The Rams kept Dunn from mustering very many scoring opportunities, until the 68th minute when a Dunn midfielder struck from about 22 yards out, curling a near perfect shot into the upper left corner. With a 2-1 lead, Dunn did its best to clog the back third of the field to limit the Rams’ scoring opportunities, but Acheampong drew his third penalty kick in the past three games and converted to tie the score at 2-2 with just under two minutes to play. The tie puts the Rams at 2-1-1 heading into winter break.

Dec. 17 – Cate boys basketball hosted the Faith Baptist High School in a 75-51 loss to close the preseason. “Sadly, it was one of those games where the Rams struggled to get in sync as a team,” commented coach Bryan Rodriguez. Nick Thomas scored 13 points by slashing to the basket for the Rams. Kian O’Conner scored 11 points, and Marko Pliso added 16 points. The Rams finished the preseason with a 4-2 record and will start Frontier League play in the new season.

a trainer’s journal ROB BURKE
Bro science runs amok In my 28 years as a trainer and nutrition expert, I’d like to say that I’ve heard just about every idea and scenario for getting bigger, leaner and fitter with 90 percent of what I hear being totally baseless and ignorant of scientific support. The reality is that there are so many stupid theories derived from “Bro Science” beliefs that I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I hear people tell me what they believe as fact. The solution? Dispel the misguided beliefs and put Bro Science to rest. Before we can say goodbye to Bro Science, we need to look at why so many have a hard time letting go of the crazy urban gym myths. What is a belief? In simple terms, it is an emotional attachment to an idea that defines a personal approach to life. In this context, think of a massive roided-out guy telling a newbie, “Yo bro, the best way to get shredded is to cut out all of the carbs from your diet. That’s what I do.” Most will listen to the guy because he looks like he knows what he is talking about. Hence, a belief is born because there is trust in the source. Never mind the fact that he is using a gram of exogenous testosterone per week. That part he won’t tell you. I spend at least two hours per day working pro-bono with clients who cannot afford my services. The good majority of my time is helping them understand the logical disconnects of what they believe and getting them on the proper path. One of my favorite clients is a young man named Rico. Rico has a voracious appetite to try any supplements that the pros are using. He also spends way too much time on YouTube accounts of what others are doing to get those 20-inch biceps. By the way, it is no coincidence in my mind that Bro Science is also shortened to just BS. Rico isn’t alone. Below are some of the most outlandish beliefs from some of my clients: Eat only chicken, egg whites, rice and rice cakes if you want to get shredded. Wrong! Your body needs micro-nutrients and vitamins to assimilate the nutritional components of your diet. Without balancing your macro-nutrients like carbohydrates, fats and proteins, not only are your energy stores diminished but so is your ability to utilize protein and other macros. Fats make you fat. Wrong again! Fats are essential for countless much-needed body processes. All fats are good (trans fats excluded) in the correct ratio. Fats are also responsible for insulin regulation. If you’ve been reading my column on a regular basis, you’ll know that stable insulin is responsible for lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and less lipid (fat) storage. Saturated fat is bad. Actually, saturated fat has never been shown to have any correlation with all the negative things the media and some doctors might have you believe, like heart disease, et al. When saturated fat does become bad is when it’s combined
Read the paper online at coastalview.com
with sugars and other inflammatory foods! Saturated fat on its own actually has many great positive benefits to the body (see above.) You have to lift heavy to grow. This is the oldest Bro Belief out there. Again, if you’ve been reading my column, you’ll know that this is ridiculous. The truth is that you’ve got to maximize tension to grow. You should periodize and promote “shocking” your muscles with techniques that promote tissue breakdown and allow for rebuilding. A calorie is a calorie (all calories are created equal) This is where Bro Science meets meathead math! Even when trying to get as big as possible, the worst thing you can do is eat indiscriminately. This will set you up for insulin resistance and less muscle growth. Bottom line, if you’re trying to put on mass, maintain a positive nitrogen balance by eating clean (nonprocessed) foods and balancing your macro-nutrients to ensure a proper balance of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. If I spend too much time in the gym, I will over-train My simple rule is that overtraining is extremely rare. However, you can always under-sleep, under-eat and hinder the body’s recuperative process by participating in a stressful lifestyle. Bottom line, you don’t grow in the gym. You grow when you sleep, eat and de-stress. Low intensity cardio is best for burning fat Hopefully, by now, most of you know that this is a big load of BS (Bro Science) and that low intensity cardio does in fact burn calories, but does little to promote EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption), the physical state where intermittent high intensity cardio-vascular training results in prolonged calorie consumption throughout the day. When you stop working out, all that muscle turns into fat This is the most ridiculous statement I hear. Let me state this very clearly and concisely, a fat cell is a fat cell. A muscle cell is a muscle cell. One cannot physically become the other. The list is endless, but hopefully this will make you think twice before you put your trust and conviction behind the uneducated and untrained point of view.

The past year has been a bit rough on our gardens. The driest year on record has challenged us all. But with the bad there comes some good. What’s the good? The general public engaging and participating in water-conservation efforts, taking out lawns and being open to new ideas. Succulents are more popular than ever, and more mulch is covering the earth. Thankfully, we are getting a bit of rain, and though we need a whole lot more, rain is very good news indeed. Other good news is an increased interest in permaculture, water harvesting and installation of gray water systems. There’s lots more good news across the country. Despite the efforts of mega corporations, such as Monsanto, to deny your right to know what’s in our food, more and more consumers are turning their backs on GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and industrial farming and are demanding their right to know. This year Vermont passed a “right to know” bill requiring GMO labeling. And despite the millions being spent by Monsanto, the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association and others to block implementation of this bill (they are suing the state of Vermont), sales of organics continue to outpace sales of their GMO junk food. Hershey’s just announced it will drop high-fructose (GMO) corn syrup from its products, and the United Nations has declared that small, organic farmers, not Monsanto, will feed the world. Want some more? According to a recent nationwide survey more than a third of the population is eating more vegetables even if they aren’t vegetar-
ian and about 5 percent choose a wholly vegetarian diet. The number of farmers markets nationwide has increased 76 percent since 2008, with California in the lead with more farmers markets than any state in the country. Closer to home, the County of Santa Barbara has achieved a 73 percent recycle rate of all its trash. And, the county is working on taking that percentage even higher! Now, that is very good news indeed. In Carpinteria, we have the Thursday farmers market and with the opening of the Farm Cart across the street from Lucky Llama Coffee Shop, we have access to clean, organic food six days a week (The Farm Cart is closed on Sundays and Thursdays). So despite the insistence of conventional media outlets that everything is bad out there, don’t believe it. Life is in you and you have the ability to fill your garden and your life with joy. So, just do it! Happy New Year, Lisa and Chris Cullen

Big south CHUCK GRAHAM
unpredictable wilderness Launching a kayak full of gear in tumultuous seas can be an arduous task. If a total yard sale ensues, it can doom a paddling trip before it gets off the beach. However, we were on day two of a three-day paddling excursion along the Big Sur Coast, and so far so good. I was paddling with two standup paddlers, both former U.S. National Rowing Team members. I met Patrick O’Hea and Will Miller on Santa Cruz Island a year ago. We ended up meeting later on the Salton Sea and paddling California’s largest lake. This time they were looking for something in the open ocean, and we were all curious about the coast of Big Sur. That second morning, though, our launch looked easier than it was. McWay Falls is arguably the nicest beach in the most scenic pocket of the Big Sur Coast. The ever-present waterfall always draws daily onlookers. A wooden path just below Highway 1 overlooks the falls spilling onto the pristine beach, but to actually get to the base of the falls, you have to paddle there. We arrived there at sunset after launching from Andrew Molera State Beach. Roughly 14 miles south, we tucked into the cove at McWay Falls on a rising swell and a full tide. The beach was steep where thick waves exploded across the entire cove. It felt good to walk around listening to the falls, and the cove turned magical when the sun dipped below dark clouds and let up the landscape. Rain was due the next day. I was hoping it wouldn’t arrive until after we emerged from our tents, ate and had packed our gear away. That’s exactly what happened, and with the steady rain came rock fall cascading towards us. It was time to get off the beach and paddle on. The tide was pushing in and the swell pulsed, creating some reverberation off the rocks. It made for some tricky launching. The waves approached out of deep water and then exploded on the beach. It made the waves much thicker, with water rushing up the beach, bouncing off the rocks and a small wall of whitewater rolling back out to slam into the next oncoming wave. Timing was everything because if the launch was mistimed you could find yourself actually paddling downhill into a gritty trough and a 6-foot wave stacking up to greet you. Miller and I helped O’Hea get off the beach, and he made it between the big rocks and the cove. Miller insisted he had it, so I let him go. But he got caught in no man’s land in a steep trough. He came unglued from his board and some gear and his paddle got away from him. I ran down the gear, and we regrouped for his second attempt. This time I helped him and he made it with no problem. The two standup paddlers waited outside for me in poor visibility and stormy seas. It was my turn and I waited, but not long enough. I thought I had it, and then I didn’t. I got caught in a downhill trough steaming toward a thick wall of water. I leaned into it, but it was hopeless. I was riding the wave helplessly and backwards. My stern hit the sand, and I cartwheeled out of my kayak. The side of my head scraped along the bottom as I came up. A total yard sale ensued. Fortunately my paddle didn’t snap. I dove after my

I lost my hat, then found it in the rocks. A water bottle was gone. My next attempt went much more smoothly and without incident. On two gulps of water and 22 miles farther south we were now searching desperately for a safe place to land just before it got dark. The swell was cranking, a solid 8-foot with waves colliding off massive sea stacks and submerged rocks. Sand Dollar State Beach wasn’t a likely place to land. It’s a broad cove that’s a swell magnet. It’s never flat, but a half-mile off shore I found a window on the south end of the cove. There was a big riptide funneling between craggy rock outcroppings and sneaky submerged rocks. Thick 6-to-8foot waves were cresting on my right as I approached, but then they backed off once they converged with the rip. Every now and then a bigger wave would obliterate the rip. Once again, it was about timing. We all came together and paddled furiously to shore. I looked over my shoulder once, saw nothing and stroked hard for a small swath of sand. The three of us just stood there and said nothing. It felt good to be on our feet. It was a perfect fall day, warm and inviting. We found a raised plateau
A sandy cove on the Big Sur Coast offers prime real estate to a trio of paddlers and their tents. of warm cobble. We spread out any wet gear and basked in the last rays of the day before diving into our tents. Who knew what the next day would bring? Unfortunately, the surf was bigger. Our rip was still there, but occasionally a wave would obliterate it. One mistake in the rip and standups, kayaks and gear would kiss the rocks. We called the trip
and portaged our gear up the steep stairs to Highway 1, where logic came into play: The Big Sur Coast isn’t going anywhere. Save it for another day.

The view from behind McWay Falls is a treat reserved only for those who paddle in from the sea.

Fernando Chavez Jr. enlisted his friends and a Linden Avenue crosswalk when he asked girlfriend Michelle Dermer to become his wife on the evening of Dec. 13. The Santa Barbara couple parked at the Amtrak station before Chavez escorted Dermer to Linden, where she was surprised to find a couple dozen friends holding signs that spelled out “Will you marry me?” Her answer to the traffic-stopping proposal was a resounding, “yes.”
