Concerns mount over illegal campfires on Franklin trail
Evidence of illegal campfires in the foothills of Carpinteria has been reported by the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire District, which reminds residents of the grave risks associated with such activity. The foothills became more accessible to the public with the opening of the Franklin Trail in 2013, but campfires are illegal and strongly discouraged given the great risk of wildland fire. The Tea and Jesusita fires, which caused massive damage to southern Santa Barbara County, were ignited by careless human actions in the backcountry. “My biggest nightmare is to have Carpinteria-Summerland experience the loss that both Santa Barbara and Montecito have experienced,” stated Fire Chief Mike Mingee. He asked residents to be wise about fire safety and report any suspicious activity to the Fire District by calling 9-1-1. Anyone with information about recent campfires along the trail should contact fire prevention officers at 684-4591.

As part of Carpinteria Family School’s Techsploration day, kindergartner Kayleb Hanacek learns about a bubbly chemical reaction staged by Dako Products as one of the many demonstrations in technology and technical careers. The students, on March 27, put on their lab coats and goggles to mix water, oil, food coloring and a reactive tablet to make lava lamps in a bottle. More photos of Techsploration on page 16.
Two arrested in Carpinteria bank robbery SUBMITTED PHOTO
Campfires in the local foothills are of critical concern given the risk of wildfire.
A man and woman from Los Angeles were arrested on the morning of March 31 for robbing Chase Bank in Carpinteria just after 9 a.m. The suspects, Terry Ray Hornbeck, 53, and Mary Lee Johnson, 49, were pulled over south of Carpinteria on Highway 101 after a Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department deputy noticed the silver Hyundai reported in connection with the crime. A “high risk” vehicle stop was conducted at 9:17
a.m., and the two occupants were taken out of the car, detained and placed into the rear of patrol units. A search of the vehicle provided evidence of the crime. Hornbeck was arrested for robbery and possession of brass knuckles, and Johnson was arrested for robbery and possession of cocaine. They were booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail and bail for each was set at $100,000.

Jubilee committee plots celebrations
The City of Carpinteria’s 50th Anniversary Committee, co-chaired by Wade Nomura and Gregg Carty, is hard at work planning the yearlong celebration of Carpinteria’s 1965 incorporation. The Golden Jubilee, as it has been dubbed, will be celebrated with a series of events that culminate in a downtown party on Thursday, Oct. 1. A fireworks show for the Fourth of July is in the planning stages, and the city has launched a street banner program in honor of the 50th anniversary. Banners can be purchased by businesses, clubs or individuals for display on Linden and Carpinteria avenues. Order forms are now available at City Hall, 5775 Carpinteria Ave.

Jeakle leaves city
Julie Jeakle, the coordinator of emergency and volunteer services for the City of Carpinteria, left her position last week to start a new job with San Diego County Office of Emergency Services. She worked in Carpinteria for three years and during that time made great progress advancing the city’s emergency and volunteer services programs, according tos City Manager Dave Durflinger. “We’ll miss her talent and energy,” he stated in an email. The city will complete an internal review of the job parameters, then initiate a recruitment process with the goal of filling the position as soon as possible.

Voters sought for Water Wise Video Contest
The 2015 Water Wise High School Video Contest’s 15 entries can be viewed and voted on at WaterWiseSB.org home page before April 22. Carpinteria High School is one of several area schools that participated in the contest, in which 30-second videos were filmed on the topic “Be Water Wise in Your Garden.” “Besides being fun to watch, the videos really show off the students’ creativity, as well as their understanding of the value of water during this time of drought,” said Scott McGolpin, Santa Barbara County Public Works Department Director. Some videos from past years’ competitions have been used as PSAs on television and in movie theaters, and audio versions have been used on radio. Besides the People’s Choice Award, judges from local water providers will award first, second and third place prizes ranging from $300 to $1,000 to the winning schools.
MTD holds meeting to discuss service changes
Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District will hold a series of public meetings in Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, Goleta and Isla Vista to present proposed bus service changes to be implemented in August and November 2015. Locally, a public meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 14 at 6 p.m. at Carpinteria Library, 5141 Carpinteria Ave. The current proposal includes a weekday morning peak commute hour service increase on Lines 1 and 2, a UCSB funded increase in service on Lines 12x and 24x, service adjustments on Lines 1, 2, 15x, 23 and 25 to improve schedule adherence and the elimination of the Caltrans funded Coastal Express Limited commuter service due to full expenditure of the funding. More detailed information about the changes will be available at the meetings and on the MTD website at sbmtd.gov. The MTD Board of Directors will consider approval of the final service plan for 2015-2016 at its April 28 meeting.

The district is selling about 20 percent less water than last year, due to customer efforts to curtail usage, and a rate hike is expected to reduce usage by another 7 percent or so.

CERT offers safety advice for train disasters
At the last city council meeting, people expressed alarm about the possibility of trains carrying an especially dangerous type of crude oil through Carpinteria. Federal regulations preempt local government actions, but there remain things that we can do individually and together to improve our safety in the case of a derailment. For example, “getting out of Dodge” may be appropriate for an oil fire but there are a lot of railroad tanks cars (and trucks) filled with chemicals more deadly than crude oil that rumble unnoticed through our town daily. You don’t want to venture out of your house into a plume of dimethyl-death wafting from a derailed tank car. To learn how to get timely flee-or-shelter guidance via the NIXLE and Reverse 911 notification systems (both free), take a CERT emergency response training class from the city. The free class will help you survive other disasters and maybe help your neighbors too. Also the city, fire and sheriff’s departments presented numerous “Don’t Panic. Prepare!” emergency preparation seminars that are specifically tailored to our community. With sufficient interest, perhaps additional presentations can be made. This is what we can do individually. It would be better if a derailing never took place. Recent grade crossing crashes might have been prevented if the safety of those crossings had been improved by adding non-crossable medians, four quadrant gates and other standard items (at local expense). In fact, grade crossing and pedestrian safety can be improved so much that the train horn becomes unnecessary. (There are 181 such crossings in California established by 36 different local governments.) I presented just such information to the city council three years ago but the expense made it unattractive then. Maybe there is more interest now. This is what we can do together.

Put down the Round Up
As a parent, how would you feel if told that the food your child was eating would “probably” cause cancer. Or that the school campus would “probably” cause cancer. Or that the air that your child breathes would “probably” cause cancer. Would you allow it? Or would you remove your child from the danger and insist that the offenders clean up their act? Well, now is the time to step up and demand a safer world for your child. Just last week, the World Health Organization reported that the world’s most widelyused weed killer, glyphosate (found in RoundUp), can “probably” cause cancer. This is huge, and it’s huge because a significant portion of the food on your plate has been exposed to glyphosate and because CUSD campuses are regularly (including this week) sprayed with glyphosate. (Maps are posted at schools this week showing the areas where it had been applied). In a process called “drying,” grains such as wheat, oats, canola, peas, lentils and dry beans are drenched with glyphosate before harvest to accelerate drying. That is the same wheat used in your muffin this morning. And, the RoundUp ready GMO crops are RoundUp ready for a reason. It allows the conventional
farmers to coat the crops with glyphosate selectively killing only the weeds. Corn, soybean, sugar, papaya, nuts, mango, quinoa, sapote, sweet potato, tea, avocado and a hundred more conventionally grown foods that you and your family eat were most likely sprayed with glyphosate. Now more than ever, it is critical that you switch to organic or unsprayed food, get to know your local farmer, support food labeling bills, and step up and demand that the Carpinteria school district stop spraying glyphosate on the campus, playground and running track where your child walks, plays and sits. If enough parents step up, perhaps CUSD will step back and listen.

Measure Z raises eyebrows
While there have been several detailed letters published explaining the need for a new fire station in Summerland, and the updating of the one in Carpinteria, there are still several questions unanswered by Fire Chief Mike Mingee. Will the district still be paying $1.2 million for the Summerland site, based on an appraised value determined in 2009? As an appraiser for over 30 years, this issue is troublesome. Values have considerably deteriorated since 2009. I have urged Mr. Mingee twice over the past 12 months to obtain a new appraised value for this site; I even provided him a list of qualified, local appraisers from which to choose. The taxpayers deserve to know just what we are on the hook for over the next 30 years. Something never discussed is what becomes of the proceeds from the sale of the old fire house site in Summerland? Would this money be used to offset costs? Again, the taxpayers deserve to know. Is the construction cost for the Summerland fire house still going to cost a whopping $900 per square foot? The taxpayers deserve to know. An estimated $10 annual fee per $100,000 assessed value of the typical residence ranging in assessed value from $600,000 to $800,000 appears attractive; however, there are many, many properties assessed for considerably more than this in our district. These property owners deserve to know if our money is spent wisely before committing to thousands per year for this bond.

It’s wild on Franklin Trail
We live approximately ¼ mile from the unfenced portion of Franklin Trail. Saturday evening, at about 7 p.m., a mountain lion walked through the breezeway between my house and garage, continuing up the hill and away. This is just a reminder to keep your kids close and dogs on leash on the trail.

Ballot argument in favor
“Carpinteria-Summerland Fire/Emergency Service Facilities Improvement Measure. To improve local fire stations, provide prompt response times to 9-1-1 medical emergencies, maintain high quality local fire protection/prevention services, acquire, construct, upgrade, rebuild, repair/equip life-saving fire protection facilities/sites/emergency equipment, make Carpinteria and Summerland fire stations earthquake safe, shall Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District issue $10,650,000 in bonds at legal rates, with citizens’ oversight, annual audits, no money for administrators’ salaries, and all money staying local?”

Proposed Summerland Station
• Free Admission • Over 200 Vehicles • Live Music
• Food Trucks • Trophies • Fun, fun, fun!
• 2001 Grand Jury Report found both stations to be among the least safe and incapable of surviving a significant natural disaster. The Carpinteria station is 53 years old, and the Summerland station is nearly 100 years old. “When a disaster occurs, first responders must mobilize quickly to perform their jobs. If the station that houses these first responders is one of the first to collapse, how can we expect to get the response we urgently need?” • Funds will allow for training apparatus to be built at the Carpinteria Station. “Since over 70% of emergency calls are medical, non-fire event, keeping our first responders local helps ensure that we maintain our six-minute critical response time.” Authors of argument in favor: Richard Weinberg, Craig Price, Suzanne Perkins, Louis Panizzon, Sally Green
Rebuttal to argument in favor
• “The Grand Jury Report they cite is actually titled ‘Emergency Power,’ and says nothing about seismic safety or the ability of CSFPD facilities being unable to survive a natural disaster. In fact, it found no deficiency with the Carpinteria station. However, two other Grand Jury reports issued that same year called into question the financial management of District, and urged ways to cut overhead and redundancy in administrative staff.” • The fire board has newly elected members which should have an opportunity to review all options for appropriately sized and located stations. • Funds may not be used to purchase equipment. Authors of rebuttal Lucita Hromadka, Betty Brown, Robert Ornstein, Mitch Morehart, Elida Cervantes Mata
Ballot argument against
• Response times and fire protection will not be improved. • The bond measure is too costly and there are still too many unanswered questions about future plans. • A smaller Summerland station would be more appropriate and less costly. • “Officials claim the bond will give them an additional $5 million to repair the Carpinteria station, which services the majority of district residents. However, there is no existing plan or reliable cost estimate for this work, or requirement that the funds be spent on the Carpinteria station.” Authors of opposition arguments: Lucita Hromadka, Betty Brown, Robert Ornstein, Mitch Morehart, Elida Cervantes Mata
Rebuttal to argument against
• Originally built in 1925, the Summerland Station is seismically unsafe and its collapse would affect emergency response time. • Plans will allow for additional apparatus space for a wildland fire truck and a medical emergency response vehicle in Summerland, which would ensure a timely response. • Conceptual drawings for a Carpinteria station exist and costs for the design are within the scope of the bond measure. The Carpinteria station is considered the second phase, which is not likely to begin until 2019 and will involve extensive planning and community involvement.

Bake for Books
When local Girl Scouts from troop 50517 heard that Carpinteria Library needed financial help, they put their heads together and cooked up the concept for a fundraiser. Bake for Books will be held on Saturday, April 4 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in front of the Friends of the Library Used Book Store, 5103 Carpinteria Ave. The girls plan to tempt tastebuds and collect cash for their homemade cupcakes, cookies, mini cakes and banana bread. Lemonade might make the menu too. Proceeds will benefit the local library, which is facing budget shortfalls and a reduction of hours. Bake for Books will also help the young ladies earn their Girl Scout Bronze Award, which requires developing and completing a community service project. To find out more, contact Cynthia at 450-4572.
“Ben-Hur”
In 1959, “Ben-Hur” swooped up 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Director. The highly acclaimed classic will be screened on Saturday, April 4 at 2 p.m. at the Plaza Playhouse Theater, 4916 Carpinteria Ave. The four-hour blockbuster has quite a history. “Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ” began as a novel written by a Civil War general and published in 1880 to critical acclaim and runaway sales. By 1899 it was a successful stage production, and in 1925 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios gave it the full epic treatment with a cast of thousands and massive sets built in California and Italy. Nearly 32 years later, MGM, teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, decided to green light the story once again. The studio put it in the hands of skilled director William Wyler and allowed a budget that kept going north until it topped $15 million, a record for the time. Tickets to the show are $7 and available online at plazatheatercarpinteria.com, at Seastrand, 919 Linden Ave., and at the theater, 4916 Carpinteria Ave., one hour prior to show time.

A kick off to our wedding & event season FEATURING LOCAL DESIGNERS:
Overboard
An observant onlooker in the Casitas Plaza parking lot on March 11 noticed a man enter a vehicle occupied by three other men but drop an item upon his entrance. When the car pulled away and the jettisoned item remained, the onlooker swooped it up. Closer inspection revealed it was a plastic baggie filled with white powder, which deputies later determined was a sack of cocaine. The man identified the make and model of car but didn’t get a plate number, so deputies were unable to track the haphazard drug possessor.
All sales final
A woman attempting to purchase a vehicle through Craigslist delivered the payment but never received the product. The seller asked for $2,400 in prepaid charge cards and had the numbers and PIN numbers delivered to an email address, which the seller said reached eBay Motors, the facilitator of the transaction. The buyer obliged but after forwarding the information received no receipt or follow up instruction on how to obtain the purchased vehicle. Deputies told the woman that little could be done to track the faraway perpetrator of the scam. The victim said she understood but needed a report to file with the risk management department of the prepaid credit card company.

Cheeky meth man
A deputy observing the intersection of Casitas Pass Road and Highway 101 noticed a suspicious looking man pumping gas at a nearby station. According to the deputy report, the man would not make eye contact with him and the station has been the setting for numerous past drug busts, leading the deputy to grow more suspicious. The man entered the passenger seat of the vehicle when it departed the station and entered Highway 101 southbound. When the car failed to come to a complete stop at the intersection before entering the freeway, the deputy initiated a traffic stop. The passenger was on probation and subject to a search, which revealed two meth pipes. Officers arrested the man, and he owned up to possession of the pipes. However, he said it was all he had on him. Officers, who continued to examine the man to determine if he was under the influence of meth, noticed his hands making furtive motions. Based on the motions, an officer asked the man if he had stashed anything in his buttocks. The man said he had not. An officer informed the man that turning it over outside of jail would be a misdemeanor but attempting to carry the drug into jail—where he was headed—could be a felony. The man stood by his claim that he was clean. At the jail, a strip search revealed over

Summerland School’s fun-for-all fundraising party
Little Summerland School is hauling out the red carpet for this year’s Spring Social, its second annual fundraising event, April 25 from 1 to 3 p.m. on the school grounds. The party promises something to amuse, entertain and satisfy the hungry appetites of all comers, from kids to adults. A DJ will be on hand to provide music while diners sample a selection of gourmet luncheon items and exotic desserts. Booths scattered throughout the grounds will feature an assortment of activities, including an artist-directed collaborative painting project, arts and crafts, carnival games, glitter tattoos, a kids’ raffle and a Garden Program farmers market. Since no proper social is without a cakewalk, there’s one of those, too. (I still remember the first prize I even won as a kid—a chocolate cake at a cakewalk!) Parents for Summerland (PFS), which organizes the event, always manages to come up with amazing silent auction items, and this year promises to be extra special. Bodacious baskets will contain items donated by local businesses, restaurants, wineries, boutiques, hotels, Disneyland and themed parties, including
the summerland shore FRAN DAVIS the popular “Mermaids & Margaritas,” a pool party for kids and adults. All adults, children and families are invited! Tickets for the Spring Social can be purchased from any Summerland student or from the school office, adults $15 and children (3-10) $10. Activity tickets sold at the event are $2 each or six for $10. Funds raised by PFS are used to pay for instructional assistant and enrichment aide salaries, the music program, art program, theater arts, the poetry program, garden program and school field trips.

And now there’s buzz that her story “Totaled,” which appeared in Galaxy’s Edge, may be up for a Hugo nomination. Hugo awards, given for the year’s best work in the scifi genre, are the most coveted of all. Okay, one of the reasons I’m so excited about all this is that I get to go to the gala awards ceremony on the 12th. A press release referred to it as an “Oscar-style achievement awards event,” which caused me to run right out and buy a pair of silver sandals. I’ll report back.

Historical Society to visit Norton Simon Museum
The Carpinteria Valley Historical Society has announced the availability of a few seats for its excursion to view the world-renowned collections of art at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena on Thursday, April 30. The Norton Simon Museum is known as one of the most remarkable private art collections ever assembled. Over a 30-year period, industrialist Norton Simon (1907–1993) amassed an astonishing collection of European art from the Renaissance to the 20th century and a stellar collection of South and Southeast Asian art spanning 2,000 years. The collection also includes Modern and Contemporary Art from the former Pasadena Art Museum. A special exhibition, Tête-à-Tête: Three Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay, will also be on display, offering a rare chance to view perhaps the single most recognizable image in the history of American painting—James Abbott McNeill Whistler’s portrait of his mother. The trip will depart Carpinteria at 10 a.m. and return by 5 p.m. The cost for historical society members is $49; and $59 for non-members. This fee includes deluxe motorcoach transportation, general and special exhibition museum admission and snacks and refreshments aboard the bus. For more information and reservations, call David at the Carpinteria Museum at 684-3112.

Zookers grills best burger in Carpinteria A verdict has been reached. Zookers Restaurant grills the best burger in Carpinteria Valley as determined by the hundreds of voters who made their voices heard. The Burger Madness competition, running parallel with the NCAA March Madness, began with 25 restaurants at the beginning of March and came down to two finalists, Zookers and Rincon Brewery, this week. Zookers, voters decided, grills the meanest ground beef patty in the land. Zookers owner Jeanne Sykes commented that the restaurant, not known as a burger hot spot, had to adjust its inventory just to keep up with demand during the final weeks of the competition. It sold 52 burgers one day, up from a usual dozen or so prior to Burger Madness. “People were getting into it. They’d tried all the burgers at all the restaurants,” Sykes said. Her son, Brent Monsour, is the chef and commented that Zookers’ choice patties, which rely on Watkins Ranch beef, are only seasoned with salt and pepper, but customers have their preferences when it comes to toppings. Some like mushrooms and grilled onions. Some insist on a strong bleu cheese or Fontina. “I’ve always liked doing DUGRÉ hamburgers. Some people think of Zookers Restaurant owner Jeanne Sykes pops champagne with employees to mark their triumph in the Coastal them as lower food, but I’ve always View News contest to determine who grills the best burger in Carpinteria.

Warriors overpower Rams in TVL tip off
Carpinteria High School boys volleyball continued its winning ways in a 3-1 TriValley League victory at Cate School on March 26. The teams met for the first time as league opponents and battled through several tight sets (25-23, 25-19, 23-25, 25-13) before the Warriors surged in the fourth to capture the match. The one-two Warrior punch of Victor Saldaña and Mason Picerni was too much for the Ram defense. Saldaña had nine kills and Picerni had eight kills to go with his five blocks. Feeding the big men at the net was setter Jose Angeles who had 21 assists. The three seniors have helped the Warriors out to a 7-1 mark to start the season. For their part, the Rams played well, commented coach Greg Novak, but the defense had some lapses. Novak said the team will continue to reinforce defense at practice as it hits the meat of its inaugural TVL season. Oliver Welch led the way offensively for the Rams with 21 kills. The Rams fell to 2-2 on the season. “Carpinteria played great defense. They wouldn’t let the ball drop; they dove for everything,” stated Novak.
Warrior Armando Soriano spikes it back to the Rams in a 3-1 Tri-Valley League win.

Baseball
Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California
Carpinteria High School
March 25 – Warrior baseball fell 5-3 to Villanova Prep in a nonleague contest in Ojai. Walks and errors resulted in all five Villanova runs coming in the first two innings. The Warriors stopped the bleeding and fought back with two runs in the third and one in the fourth but never climbed out from the hole. The tying runs reached base or were at the plate in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Javier Jasso and Jonah Spach led the Warrior offense with two hits apiece. Jorge Arroyo and Robert Warren picked up RBIs at the bottom of the lineup. “Credit the Wildcats for playing well when we didn’t. On the positive side, it was great to see our players separate from poor performances in the first two innings and play much improved baseball the rest of the way,” commented Warrior coach Pat Cooney. March 27 – Warrior baseball won its second game of the season, 5-0, over Villanova Prep at John Calderwood Field. Sophomore right-hander Sal Delgado pitched six shutout innings of one-hit ball. He recorded 11 strikeouts and two walks. Diego Contreras threw the seventh, struck out two and held onto the shutout for the Warriors. The Warriors scored two runs in the second after Jose Carrillo knocked a oneout double to right followed by an RBI single off the bat of Jonah Spach. Malcolm Gordon hit a sacrifice fly to score Spach. The Warriors added three more in the sixth as Nick Walker and Delgado each singled and stole second before David Martinez drove them both home with a single of his own. “It was an important win for the whole group. Recent games have tried our patience and team chemistry. All of our boys have maintained a positive approach,” stated Warrior coach Pat Cooney. March 30 – At the Santa Paula Classic, Carpinteria dropped a pair of one-run games, both of which were stopped short due to the 2 ½ hour time limit implemented for the tournament. In the tournament opener against Santa Paula High School, the Warriors played six innings and lost 5-4. The Warriors built a 4-0 lead with two runs in the second and third innings. Junior left-handed pitcher Diego Contreras held SP scoreless through four innings, but defensive miscues in the fifth allowed five Cardinal runs in the fifth and sixth. The Warriors had six errors. In game two, the Warriors lost 11-10 in five innings against Foothill Tech. After three innings, the Warriors were in a 9-3 hole, but seven Warrior runs over the fourth and fifth innings gave the squad a 10-9 advantage. Foothill regained the lead in the bottom of the fifth inning. The Warriors loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth, but the clock ran out before any runs crossed. Jose Carrillo led the Warrior offense with two hits in each game. Javier Jasso and Malcolm Gordon were both three for four in game two. Jonah Spach had three hits on the day. “Though there were many positives in the tournament games, it was a fairly frustrating day. We felt that Contreras deserved a better result in game one. It was really difficult to stomach having loaded the bases with no outs in game two and have to shut down at 2 ½ hours. Time was a factor in both games. It’s not something we are accustomed to in baseball. Still, there were flashes of brilliance and solid team play,” commented coach Pat Cooney.

The publishing step you’ve probably forgotten the write practice Friends of the Library Used Book Store recommendation
“Between Meals, An Appetite for Paris” by A.J. Liebling
Liebling was a reporter and columnist by trade. But before that he conned his father into sending him to Paris to study at the Sorbonne for one year, which was stretched into two. Much of this memoir is about that time, in the Paris of the 1920s. While he was there contemporaneously with Hemingway, Gertrude Stein and the other eminents, he was separated by finances and a certain classism that herded the Salon goers together. Liebling spent his time studying food and the joys of Paris, which was what he really went there for. He writes of food, people, the effects of World War I, and the growing threat of World War II. He shares stories of great boxers, of his own crewing team experience, very little rowing, much “feeding” as Liebling refers to the glories of consuming French food. He includes visits he made from the 1930s to the 1950s, but the predominate time is the 1920s. The author lived in a neighborhood, enjoyed the company of the actual inhabitants and ate his two years of schooling. His description of the days he would go to the bank across town to get his funds sent by dear old Dad is remarkable for truth and humor. His love of Paris and days he spent there oozes off the pages like a lovely crème caramel. My copy must have emanated delicious scents of those long ago repasts, for the dog consumed large chunks of this book. I highly recommend this delightful trip to the Paris of decades past. ––Susan Williams, volunteer, Friends of the Library Used Book Store, 5103 Carpinteria Ave.
Carpinteria Library recommendation “East of the Sun” by Julia Gregson
As the Kaisar-I-Hind weighs anchor for Bombay in the autumn of 1928, its passengers ponder their fate in a distant land. They are part of the “Fishing Fleet”—the name given to the English women who sail to India each year in search of husbands. The inexperienced chaperone Viva Holloway is watching over three charges. Rose plans to marry a cavalry officer she has met a mere handful of times. Her bridesmaid, Victoria, is hell-bent on experiencing everything before finding a husband of her own. And then there’s Guy, a disturbed schoolboy. For anglophiles who can’t wait for the next season of “Downton Abbey,” Gregson delivers another side of imperial British aristocratic society and those desperately trying to keep up appearances. Throughout, we see glimpses of Indian life on the brink of home rule. ––Tara O’Reilly, Supervising Librarian, 5141 Carpinteria Ave.
Student recommendation
“Dorothy Must Die” by Danielle Paige
What if the story “The Wizard of Oz” didn’t end when Dorothy went back to Kansas? What if, instead Dorothy came back to Oz and took over? In this debut novel by Danielle Paige, she explores the story of the other girl from Kansas, Amy Gumm, brought to Oz to complete a mission, kill Dorothy and return Queen Ozma to the throne. After teaming up with the members of the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked—wicked witches Mombi and Gert, Glinda’s twin sister Glamora and a few other inhabitants of Oz—and getting a little extra help from some wingless flying monkeys, Amy sets out to infiltrate Dorothy’s castle and find a way to kill her and take back Oz. But Dorothy’s got all the magic, not to mention help from Glinda, the Cowardly Lion and a few other memorable characters from the original story. In this unique retelling of the renowned tale that started it all, Paige flips the world of Oz upside down and gives readers a whole new idea about what it means to be wicked. ––Audrey Lent, Santa Barbara City College student

JOE BUNTING Publishing is the most important step to becoming a writer. Writers are people who write things for others, not just for themselves or the benefit of their computer hard drive. If you want to become a writer, you need to publish. However, besides the actual writing, there’s one step in the publishing process that’s so essential that if you forget it, you’re almost certainly going to have major issues. What, then, is this important but often overlooked step? Feedback. Lots of feedback.
The forgotten step
I recently spoke with an author whose books just weren’t selling. Did you get any feedback on your books before you published them?” I asked him one day. “Did you have a critique group look over them?” “I had an editor look over them for grammar and spelling mistakes. Is that what you mean?” “Sort of. Did you ask anyone to give you feedback on the content before publishing.” “No,” he said simply. “Well, that would have probably been a good idea.” Why every writer needs feedback (and not just from an editor) Because you are the worst judge of your own writing. As you write, you inevitably become extremely close to your project. In fact, you become so close to your project that you lose all objectivity. The truth is you can no longer see whether it’s “good” or “bad,” interesting or boring, well written or poorly written. You need outside feedback. Call them your critique partners, beta readers, writing group, or your help-mebecause-I-don’t-know-what’s-wrongwith-my-book club. It doesn’t matter.
Just get feedback. How to find critique partners to workshop your stories If you enrolled in an MFA program in creative writing, you would find yourself in more writing workshops than you’d ever want. But for everyone else, where can you find a writing group or critique partner? Here are four ideas: 1. Meetup.com. I found my first writing group through meetup.com and was very impressed with the level of the writers involved. See if there’s a group in your area by going to writing. meetup.com. 2. WritersandEditors.com. Pat McKnee has put together a fantastic list of local and regional writing groups, organized by state, at WritersandEditors.com. 3. Becoming Writer. In December 2014, I started experimenting with developing a writing group online, and so far I’ve been surprised at how close the community has become and the level of improvement of the writers involved. If you’re interested, you can learn more about it at thewritepractice. com/becomingwriter. 4. Start one of your own. When I didn’t find a critique group in my area, I started my own! If you have friends who are writers, reach out and see if they’ll meet to critique each other’s writing. Or even email a group of friends, writers or not, and ask them to give you feedback on your pieces. Feedback from non-writers can often be more helpful than feedback from writers.
Publishing is just the first step to becoming a writer
No writer does it alone. Having the support of a community of writers is not only one of the most rewarding parts of being a writer, it can also be essential in helping motivate and encourage you to keep writing, especially when things get difficult. So if you want to get published, if you want to be a writer, find your writing community. How about you? Have you found a writing group that you trust yet?
Practice
As you prepare to publish, share what you’ve written with a friend or a fellow writer, asking them for their feedback. When they respond, make sure to remember that “you are the worst judge of your own writing” and don’t argue. Good luck! Joe Bunting is a full-time author and blogger who lives and writes in Carpinteria with his wife and son. You can find more practical inspiration for your writing at thewritepractice.com.
Carpinteria Library Book Club selection “A Tale for the Time Being” by Ruth Ozeki
Expect the unexpected from Ozeki. In the novel “A Tale for the Time Being,” the ever surprising author presents Nao, a 16-year-old girl in Tokyo whose loneliness has her plotting suicide, and pairs her story with that of Ruth, a novelist living on a remote island who discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a Hello Kitty lunchbox—possibly debris from the devastating 2011 tsunami. The bicultural tale will be discussed by the Carpinteria Library Book Club on Wednesday, April 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Carpinteria Library, 5141 Carpinteria Ave. Anyone interested in reading and discussing the novel is welcome to attend the monthly club. To find out more, contact Tara at 684-4314.

Millan cleans house in Virginia
Carpinterian Mike Millan touched down in Washington D.C. before heading to his rustic Virginia cabin on a recent trip. He stopped for a photo opp at Georgetown University with the Kennedy Center in the background before heading off the grid. The cabin, which Millan owns, is 30 minutes from a highway and then 10 minutes more to any populated area. He had it rented out but needed to give it some TLC after tenant turnover. The locale nearest to the cabin is known as Rappahannock, Virginia.
CVN celebrates a dozen years
Debbie and Billy Kuhn can mark their years of marriage on an egg carton. The Carpinteria couple celebrated 12 strong with a seven-day cruise to the Eastern Caribbean. Their stops included Grand Turk, St. Maarten, Puerto Rico and the Bahamas. CVN made a cameo at Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas. The trip also included a couple of days in Florida.
