To drill or not to drill?

Shake it up baby

City council explores new zoning options at Venoco plant BY DaLe MYers

“If the council goes through with (banning drilling), it will cost jobs, and Clean Seas will go out of business.”

The Carpinteria City Council at its Nov. 24 meeting voted unanimously to further review oil and gas develo p m e n t re g u l a tions and heard a lengthy yet civil d e b a t e f ro m a n overflowing crowd on whether or not t o b a n o n s h o re oil drilling in the city, specifically at Venoco Inc.’s prop––Ike Ikerd, General erty. Venoco, which has applied to drill Manager of Clean Seas at its Carpinteria Oil and Gas Processing Facility, has an existing zoning designation that allows it to drill for oil; however, a future alteration of the zoning code is possible, which if approved could re-designate land-use policy and ban drilling at the Dump Road property altogether or more closely regulate drilling projects. Currently, land designated for Coastal Dependent Industry in Carpinteria is zoned to permit drilling for onshore oil, but the council’s decision asks city staff to review and/or recommend alterations to the types of industry that fit into the Coastal Dependent Industry category. Linda Krop, chief counsel of the Environmental Defense Center, urged the council to not be afraid of adopting a designation that protects the public from “risky” oil and gas operations. “You have the ability to re-designate properties in the public interest,” she told the council. Whereas Ian Livett, local vice president of Venoco, stated that any drilling at its Carpinteria location would be on just one acre, with initially a single onshore drill. “This does not include hydraulic fracturing and never will,” said Livett. “It will provide oil needed by California and (millions) in royalties to Carpinteria and Santa Barbara County.” Opposing any ban on drilling were many other Venoco employees and associates who stressed that the company is environmentally friendly and provides much-needed jobs in a tough economy. Ike Ikerd, General Manager of Clean Seas, a Carpinteria company that provides oil-spill response equipment, trained personnel and expertise in the planning and execution of response techniques, said, “If the council goes through with this (banning drilling), it will cost jobs, and Clean Seas will go out of business.”

Larry Nimmer wants your story. the local filmmaker believes that everyone has something of interest in their personal history, something that an individual’s friends, family and perhaps even the rest of the world would benefit from having captured on video and made accessible on the internet. Thus, Everyone Has A Story. Nimmer launched Everyone Has A Story early this year and has since compiled over 200 video interviews with people, mostly Carpinterians, who share bits and pieces of their lives while the camera rolls. The videos, which tend to run between 30 minutes and an hour, are then posted to everyonehasastory. org, where anyone from Aunt Hilda in Kalamazoo to a fifth-grader researching World War ii history can access them. “One thing that makes me happy is when I can give people a platform to express themselves,” Nimmer said. “People like to talk about themselves, and they feel good afterwards.” The ubiquitous cameraman, who often goes by his Coastal View News column title “The Man on the Street,” has been eliciting self-expression for years, either with his videography work, his summer gig on the mic as “Larry-oke” or his commentcollecting for the newspaper. his initial plans were to call the recent project Talking in the Library and to focus his camera on the patrons of the local library and their diverse stories. It evolved into Everyone Has A Story, a project unencumbered by a particular set of walls, though many of the existing videos do feature library patrons and Supervising Librarian Tara O’Reilly is the program consultant. Anyone willing to be interviewed is invited to participate. Of particular interest, Nimmer said, are elderly folks whose stories might soon be lost, as well as those he describes as the “disenfranchised,” people who may not have other outlets for their personal histories. Nimmer sees Carpinteria as a laboratory for the experimental project. He hopes that with the simple video recording and sharing tools that are now available, the

project will be eventually implemented in other cities far and wide. this holiday season, Nimmer hopes to collect interviews from families who want to preserve a loved one’s unique recollections and perspectives. “It’s an easy way to pass stories on to future generations, and it’s a perfect holiday gift,” he said.

Local man arrested for child luring

Carpinterian Oscar Mora, 23, was arrested recently on numerous charges including traveling for the purposes of engaging a minor for sex, conspiracy to commit a crime and child luring. On Aug. 30, officers from the Oxnard Police Department responded to a call from an Oxnard resident who had reviewed her 12-year-old daughter’s mobile device and discovered that she had been involved in an online sexual conversation with a male adult. After an extensive two-month investigation, investigators from the Oxnard Police Department’s Family Protection Unit arrested Mora, who is currently in custody at the Ventura County Jail with bail set at $250,000. Oscar Mora Investigators have reason to believe that there may be other victims that have been contacted by Mora. Anyone with additional information should contact Detective Terrance Dobrosky at 385-7609.

Poinsettia sale helps keep Summerland beautiful

The Summerland Citizens Association is once again selling fresh poinsettias for the holiday season. The locally grown plants can be ordered at The Beach Shack, located on the corner of Lillie and Evans avenues, or by calling 452-9595. The sale price is $10 a pot, and proceeds go toward helping the SCA maintain downtown parks and plantings.

New undersheriff to join department

Bernard “Barney” Melekian will be Santa Barbara County’s new undersheriff as of Jan. 5. Melekian served in the United States Army before beginning his law enforcement service with the Santa Monica Police Department in 1973. He worked with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office from 1976 to 1977, after which he went on to various positions in Santa Monica P.D. and eventually became chief of police for the City of Pasadena, a position he held for the next 13 years. In 2009, Bernard “Barney” Melekian was selected by the United States Attorney General to lead the U.S. Department of Justice’s Community Oriented Melekian Policing Services Office. He has a doctorate in policy, planning and development from the University of Southern California and a master’s in public administration degree from California State University, Northridge.

Add troop support to holiday to do list

Carpinterian Kevin Baird, president of Baird Wealth Strategy Group, has teamed up with his client Margaret Bartlett in a holiday campaign to support American troops abroad. Bartlett is an active volunteer with nonprofit organization For the Troops, which sends out thousands of packages each year to military units stationed all over the world. Anyone interested in helping to make the holidays bright for military men and women should consider dropping off a greeting card, donating an item on the troops’ wish list or making financial donation. For more information on the contents of the wish list and suggestions for greeting card content, visit forthetroops.org. Donations can be dropped off at Baird Wealth Strategy Group, 222 E. Carrillo Street, Suite 304 in Santa Barbara.

For the record

The article “Cat declawing decried as inhumane” that was printed in the Nov. 20 issue of Coastal View News erroneously described a state law that affects cat declawing. The law prohibits cities from banning cat declawing, and City Manager Dave Durflinger told CVN that the law preempts a local ordinance banning the practice.

This is Carpinteria not Crap-N-Diarrhea! Please. Pick it up!”

––Trina Emami

The article’s headline was “Cat declawing decreed as inhumane” (CVN, Nov. 20). Needless to say, many who read the article were shocked to ﬁnd the most relevant issue was never addressed. “What is the reason the Carpinteria city council refuses to pass a non binding resolution?” City Manager Dave Durﬂinger’s answer of “limited staff resources” (offered a year and a half ago) is now nonsensical, the time and energy spent over 18 months obvious. By doing nothing, the current city council has made their decision to, in effect, condone the inhumane treatment of animals. Is condoning the inhumane treatment of animals what the beautiful city of Carpinteria wants to be known for? Time to move to the next level.

Bluffs deserve better upkeep

I pulled my car into a parking space at Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve and saw a young, well-groomed man looking at me guiltily from behind the bushes. He appeared to be squatting. When I walked down the trail near to him, he stood up. Of course, his shorts were pulled up before I was near. I asked, “What are you doing?” He replied, “Looking at the vegetation,” but I knew better. I wanted to scream at him to pick up his mess! Yes, he defecated in the bushes. When I walked back to my car, he was gone, but it was left there along with the wiping paper he used. So, this brings me to my original letter (“A little bit more,” CVN, Oct. 30), when I was complaining that owners weren’t picking up after their dogs, but how was I to know I was going to witness that young man pooping in the bushes? I still hold strong to the notion that owners should pick up after their dogs, but now they need to pick up after themselves, if they choose to defecate in the bushes, near the trails, on the Bluffs. I’ve reported the incident to the city’s Parks and Recreation ofﬁce and emailed pictures of the location. What more can I do? The Bluffs have now become a biohazard. Do you want to walk with your family and pets there, while the excrement litters the trails? I still do my part and pick up stray, abandoned turds, the ones that look like they came from dogs, but I draw the line at human feces. Come on citizens, let’s keep the Carpinteria Bluffs beautiful. This is Carpinteria not Crap-N-Diarrhea! Please. Pick it up!

That Republicans are claiming victory because the electorate was unhappy with gridlock defies logic. The party that has personified gridlock and made it the hallmark of their legislative agenda has no logical claim to that reason. It’s as if someone were dying from a narcotic overdose and the doctor prescribed more of the same poison. Republicans are going to have to change out of their wolf’s clothing and become something completely different , but I suspect they will just keep proposing legislatively impossible schemes and then point fingers at President Obama and the Democrats. They won this election, but they are still losers in the fight to provide America with something other than obstructionism. They can campaign, but they don’t know how to govern.

Now that the high school football season is over; it’s time for the Carpinteria school board to reappraise its commitment to high school football. A growing number of parents throughout the United States are refusing to allow their sons to play football out of fear of concussions or the probability of future debilitating brain damage to their offspring. Overall, our nation has been in denial regarding this underlying issue of football injuries. Everybody is reluctant to say: “No more football.” What about the NFL’s resolution that it is going to pay out close to $1 billion dollars in settlements to over 5,900 former players for their reputed mental illnesses or cognitive impairments associated with their past football head injuries? Today, the NFL can no longer deny the impact of concussions upon its players. Financial compensation will be awarded to these retired athletes who are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression or even different forms of dementia. No more denial! If a retired NFL player can be compensated for a neurocognitive disorder, why can’t a former high school football athlete be a party to a lawsuit for an alleged neurological brain disorder attributed to his high school football participation? Furthermore, recent research indicates that the younger players are more likely to be impacted by a football blow to the head than an older college or professional football competitor. Therefore, it’s imperative that our school board discuss the pros and cons of football in light of recent concussion research and the growing awareness of future injury litigation. Obviously, this is an explosive and volatile issue that no prudent, sane school board member would want to address. Once again, the issue is not football itself; it’s the physical injuries and/or the detrimental impact of cumulative head traumas to our young men.

Tired of procrastinating? If you love procrastinating, if you wear your procrastination like a badge of honor, if you revel in your war stories about how you left it all to the last minute and then pulled it out of the fire with a flourish, then this article is not for you. On the other hand, if you are tired of the frenzy that results from putting things off, if you are sick of feeling the weight of your commitments as you engage in some mindlessly entertaining task, if you are done with avoiding or apologizing when you miss a deadline, then read on. Procrastination, avoiding tasks that have a negative association in favor of tasks that have a more positive association, actually makes a lot of sense when you look at the human brain. You have a part of your central nervous system that is focused on what is comfortable and familiar. This part of your brain (known to neuroscientists as the limbic system, basal ganglia and nucleus accumbens) almost always encourages you to do what you have done in the past. This is because past behavior is associated with survival. In other words, if you did it yesterday, and you lived to see the sunrise today, then it must be worth repeating. Each time you engage in a habitual behavior, you are rewarded with a small amount of a brain chemical called dopamine. This chemical produces the internal experience of “this is how it is supposed to be.” The result is that you always towel off the same way when you get out of the shower, you always sit in the same chair in your living room, and you always procrastinate the same tasks. The more you do something, the more likely it is to become an unconscious habit. So how do you work with your brain so that you are not a victim of this tendency toward procrastination? The first step is to be mindful of how your survival brain triggers avoidance behavior. There are sensations in your body and thoughts in your mind that show up when you think about engaging in any task. Pay attention and you will see that thoughts about putting something off are connected to unpleasant sensations, perhaps feelings of heaviness or tightness across the shoulders or in the chest, throat or stomach. This is the trigger. You may have never noticed these sensations before because they are subtle or perhaps you

just haven’t practiced looking for them. The next step is accepting that these sensations and thoughts are just part of the process of getting this particular task done. It is your resistance to the trigger that leads to procrastination. If you can accept the feelings that your survival brain associates with the task, then you can simply begin the task. You can conserve all the energy that normally goes into avoidance and all the clever rationalizations of avoidance. Some of my clients give this trigger a name and create a response that helps them stay on track. “Oh, there you are Henry. I thought you might show up. You are welcome to hang around while I pay my bills, but I don’t really have time to entertain you.” By first identifying the trigger and then separating it from the task, you will find that you are free to do whatever you need to do when you need to do it. Like any skill, this takes practice, but if you are tired of procrastinating, then a little practice will go a long way.

What you should know about depression

Even if you haven’t experienced clinical depression, you probably know someone who has. Persistent feelings of emptiness, sadness and hopelessness, loss of energy, irritability, reduced or increased appetite, sleeping too much or too little, and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed are typical symptoms. Each year more than 19 million Americans are affected by clinical depression. The good news is that it is quite treatable. According to Mental Health America, approximately 70 percent of those who seek treatment may experience a full remission. The bad news is that fewer than half of the individuals suffering from de-

pression get help. Practical tips on how to support individuals with depression are available online at sites such as dbsalliance.org and helpguide.org. According to the National Institutes of Health, up to 80 percent of those treated for depression show an improvement in their symptoms generally within four to six weeks of beginning medication, psychotherapy, attending support groups or a combination of these treatments. “The most important thing to know about depression is that virtually anyone can fall prey to it,” notes Ole Behrendtsen, M.D., Medical Director for the Santa Barbara County Department of Alcohol,

Drug and Mental Health Services. “Depression is a common disorder that can be treated successfully, and one should not hesitate to seek help. “ To obtain assistance for yourself, a family member or friend, call the 24/7 Santa Barbara County Behavioral Health Access Line, (888) 868-1649.

Q: What 1965 rock tune made pop singer Bobby Fuller a household name? A: The Bobby Fuller Four hit gold with “I Fought The Law (And The Law Won).” The song was written by Sonny Curtis who joined Buddy Holly’s back-up band after Holly died in 1958. The Crickets recorded the tune, but it didn’t get needed air play. Six months after Bobby Fuller’s version of “I Fought The Law” became a Top Ten Hit, he was found dead in his car near Grauman’s Chinese Theater in

Record rarity

I recently heard one of Buddy Holly’s gems for the first time. The beautiful song “True Love Ways” is the perfect choice for a wedding’s first dance or just listening to great songwriting. Holly’s vocal is stunning. The song was co-written by Norman Petty and recorded in 1958 by the Ray Ellis Orchestra. “True Love Ways” wasn’t released until March 1960, a month after Holly’s tragic death. It’s available on Coral Record’s “The Buddy Holly Story, Volume 2.” Bet you can’t listen to the three-minute song just once. Preview it on YouTube.com.

Other reports: Expensive get out of jail call

A woman received a phone call in September from a person posing as a Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department representative who stated she had a warrant out for her arrest and would have to pay up or go to the slammer. The coercion worked, and the woman went to a store to load up rechargeable credit cards with $600 in order to relay the card numbers to the caller. The caller then requested her debit card number and security code, which she provided to the lawman imposter in order to avoid going to jail. Over the following two months, the man milked the card for $2,000. He then said she should send an additional $250 money order to a Sherman Oaks address. At that point, the woman decided to call the sheriff’s department. She learned that phone calls and money orders are not the mode of executing legitimate warrants. She had purchased the money order, but never sent it. She did not have the phone number from which the calls originated or the prepaid charge card numbers that she had used to make the $600 in payments. In total she was defrauded for $2,600, but deputies had no leads.

Rag doll

Deputies patrolling a motel parking lot, which they noted was known for drug and prostitution activity, observed a figure passed out in a vehicle at 3:18 a.m. on Nov. 17. A closer look revealed the man, 18, slumbered in the rear of a locked vehicle with car keys in hand. Deputies hit him with bright lights, knocked at the windows and shouted but could not stir the man. The lawmen, concerned for the man’s wellbeing, resorted to rocking the vehicle to the point of causing the man to flop around like a “rag doll,” which eventually wrested the man from his coma, according to the deputy report The man reportedly had trouble opening the door once he regained consciousness. Deputies advised him on how to unlock the door from the inside, but he was unable to comply and resorted to flipping deputies the middle finger. Deputies also noted that when not flipping the lawmen the bird, the man furtively reached for his waist several times. When he finally opened the car door, deputies cuffed him immediately due to his appearing to be agitated and possible hiding a weapon in his waistband. Deputies confiscated a large pocketknife. The man explained that he had consumed three beers at his girlfriend’s house in Ventura before being transported to what he thought was Oxnard but was actually a motel parking lot in Carpinteria. Deputies arrested the man for public intoxication.

CHRIS & LISA CULLEN This is not the time of year people normally think of spending time in their gardens. Autumn was busy; the pruning, cleaning and feeding has all been done, the vegetable plot is cleaned out and cool-season veggies are planted. Winter is coming and is a more introspective time of year, the plants are slowing down, dropping their leaves, holding on to the their sap, storing energy. But if our plants are slowing down, we, most likely, are not. Holiday shopping, work, party planning, visiting friends and family, all take time and sometimes our sense of humor. Have some fun, be festive, be merry and gift green.

Gifts from your kitchen

We got into fermenting in a big way this year. Kumquat/fennel relish, pickled onions and our own cured olives. I still have a couple of kumquat trees full of fruit, so I think my holiday shopping is done. All I need are some cute jars and tags and I’m set. They will also make great hostess gifts! Fermenting anyone?

Herbal fragrance sprays

The fragrance sprays in the grocery store can be pretty offensive. Why not

Eye of the Day is one of several local shops and nurseries that can help you give green this season. make your own? Buy essential oils of lavender, thyme, rosemary or pine. Mix a few drops in some distilled water, put in a small spray bottle and, viola, your own fragrance spray! You can use them when ironing your shirts or spray on your pillow or on yourself. What a yummy way to bring the garden indoors!

Give the gift of green

Gifts are a way of showing someone they are special and that you care about them. There are so many ways to do that. I love orchids and have a few that I received as gifts many years ago. When they bloom, I think of the person who gave them. December is cymbidium season and since Carpinteria is the Orchid Capitol

of the World and cymbidiums are the un-ofﬁcial city ﬂower (my designations), give orchids! It’s a great way to spread joy while supporting the local economy. I gave a cymbidium to my cousin in Utah. She keeps it outside until it starts to get really cold and snow starts to fall, then she brings it indoors and it blooms for her! So don’t be shy about giving cymbidiums; they are quite forgiving.

Personal herb gardens

Everyone loves fresh herbs for the kitchen, and what wonderful gifts they make. Pack perennial herbs like thyme, chives, sage, marjoram and oregano into a pot and you have a fabulous gift that any cook will love. They are fun and easy to make (great project for the kids) and

suitable for any windowsill or patio. This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Let your mind go free, and have some fun gifting green this year. Until next time, ﬁll your garden with joy! ––Lisa and Chris Cullen Chris and Lisa Cullen, owners of Montecito Landscape, have been creating beautiful gardens for over 40 years.

Being thankful a monthly muse

MELINDA WITTWER November, falling leaves, pumpkins, turkeys, cranberries and the pleasure of seeing all our crazy relatives lead us to contemplate the concept of thankfulness. Of course I’m especially thankful for my almost perfect grandsons who give me much more than I could ever give them. Also on my thankful list are the rest of my family, what’s left of my good health, where we reside in Southern California even if it’s slowly drying out, living in the best imperfect country in the world despite having to put up with the politicians, and all the other joys of being alive. But I do have some items on my list that may not be on yours, and you might want to consider adding. First, I am thankful each day that I have not maimed, run over or killed a bicyclist. It’s not that I don’t like people who ride bikes or try to aim at them with my car, but a great number of bicyclists who use the roads they share with automobiles do not obey the rules that govern trafﬁc. There are many two-lane, country roads in our area, beautiful for travel by both cars and bicycles, but often the bikes end up in the middle of a lane or two deep on a curve. Just a thought—people who drive cars usually do not have the ability to see around curves. Also, stop signs are meant for all vehicles, both cars and bikes, but I’ve witnessed a lot of bicyclists ignoring stop signs and driving right through intersections daring anyone to hit them. It’s a known fact that cars are bigger than bicycles, cars offer more protection for drivers and passengers, and cars will win any altercation with a bicycle. Share the road, but share with care. Second, I am thankful each day when I read the newspaper, look at the obituaries, and do not discover the name of an old friend, or myself for that matter. Once we arrive at a certain age, we often hear news of friends or acquaintances when it is bad—illness, accidents or even death. Perhaps this is a hint I should give up the newspaper or make a point of seeing my

friends more often. Third, I am thankful for the decent healthcare available to us ancients in this area. Every time I need new glasses or I have the ﬂu or my knee acts up or anything questionable happens to one of my grandsons, I can pick up the phone and get help. I don’t always like what my doctors tell me, but at least they are available. And if I’m feeling tired, achy and out of sorts, I know that at some point I’ll get frustrated with the insurance company, have to call the rep, and the ensuing conversation will get me so irritated I’ll be energized for days, maybe even weeks. Fourth, I am grateful every morning when the TV news comes on or I’m reading the newspaper or I’m checking the internet. The stories about car wrecks, storms, wars, terrorists and just plain evil people make me appreciate the fact that there are many humans out there that are having a much harder time with life than I am. Perhaps this is the silver lining in our age of know everything via all our global communication systems. By being reminded constantly of all the hardships of existence, we can better value the bright spots in our own lives. Last but not least on my list of things to be thankful for are tea and coffee. Think of how many times you’ve shared one of these drinks with a friend or loved one. Think of how a cup of tea warms you at night or coffee gives you a pick-me-up after lunch, or going to the coffee shop gives you a chance to show off your grandchild. I’m also grateful I have refrained from insulting a select few of the baristas I’ve met who act like any customer is privileged to get a beverage made by them, or they roll their eyes when they have to make a drink over due to their own errors. Don’t these baristas realize that it’s the customer who in reality is paying their salaries and the more drinks these baristas make, the better their chances of staying employed? A smile and a thank you go a long way towards making that drink taste better. So here we are, almost to Thanksgiving, appreciating our blessings, wanting that good meal—but not wanting to make it or clean up after it. Maybe I’ll just be grateful we’re invited to someone else’s house this year. 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.

CITY COUNCIL: Continued from page 1

Proponents of drilling also pointed out that California is the largest consumer of oil in the United States and imports more than half of it to the state, and drilling in Carpinteria could alleviate some of that burden. “California uses 1.6 million barrels of oil a day and only produces 600,000, and the environmental impact of importing this much oil is astronomical,” said Livett. “Venoco is not Big Oil. We are committed to environmental protection.” On the opposite side of the fence are many Carpinteria residents who wish to maintain the integrity of the bluffs and insist there is no such thing as safe oil. Gail Marshall of GOO (Get Oil Out) said Carpinteria “places a high priority on the bluffs” and encouraged the council to recall the aftermath of the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill, the largest oil spill in California history. Some opponents of drilling are also indifferent to the Paredon Project’s potential for revenue. They maintained that Carpinteria garners most of its revenue from tourism and strongly urged the council to ban drilling at the site. However, city attorneys have expressed that Carpinteria would be vulnerable to litigation following such an action. In fact, “Any action here raises the possibility of litigation,” said Deputy City Attorney Jena Shoaf. In conclusion, Mayor Brad Stein, who reiterated that the city has never shied away from litigation, said, “We will go forward with long-term planning and Venoco will go forward with its application.” The next City Council meeting will take place on Monday, Dec. 8, at 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 5775 Carpinteria Ave.

Preschoolers in Carpinteria’s Head Start program toured Carpinteria High School Agricultural Sciences classrooms recently. Head Start teachers ushered the young charges around the sites of the program. They saw tractors, two calves being raised by Future Farmers of America member Emily Garcia and the poinsettias currently being grown by the FFA for the winter fundraiser. Students also observed the koi ﬁsh that FFA members are raising.

CMS students tackle Japanese museum

Honors language arts students at Carpinteria Middle School enhanced their unit on “Farewell to Manzanar,” the memoir of Jeanne Wakatsuki’s imprisonment at a United States government internment camp during World War II, by visiting the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles. To build on the background and interest of the important time in United States history, the students watched a video, made origami, walked through Little Tokyo and ate mochi, among other things. Teachers Marith Parton and Gabriel Clinton escorted their students on the trip. “The students were able to get to see ﬁrsthand some of the different artifacts from that time. They were also given the opportunity to hear from people who had been in internment camps,” commented Parton.

Bond oversight applications are work in progress

Last week’s CVN article, “CUSD meeting focuses on Common Core, Measure U,” erroneously stated that applications for the bond oversight committee, which will oversee expenditures of the recently approved $90 million school facilities bond, are available at the Carpinteria Uniﬁed School District ofﬁces. They are not available yet. The CUSD Board of Education was set to discuss a timeline for establishing a committee at the Nov. 25 meeting.

FFA poinsettias ready to order

Poinsettias grown by Carpinteria High School Future Farmers of America can be ordered through the school before Friday, Dec. 5. Each hand-grown poinsettia, including its decorative wrap, is priced at $8 before Dec. 5 and $10 after. Orders will be delivered by Dec. 10. Checks should be made out to CHS FFA and orders should be made at CHS, 4810 Foothill Road.

Rams relish CIF championship Volleyball squad completes perfect season BY PETER DUGRÉ

The Cate School girls volleyball team locked down its biggest win of the season, a 3-1 (16-25, 25-22, 25-22, 25-18) championship triumph over Duarte High School on Nov. 22 at Cerritos College, but the journey meant more than the destination. “We’ve been savoring every step of the way,” commented coach Greg Novak. “Winning CIF was always the goal, but this year, every match we’ve played, we’ve slowed down and enjoyed every minute. The finals were the icing on the cake, and even they went by too fast.” Following the opening set of the finals, Cate found itself in an unfamiliar position, trailing 1-0. The Rams had not lost a regular season or playoff set, never mind match. Duarte used two big hitters, who initially carved up the Ram defense with roll shots and line shots. “They took us out of our game,” Novak said. “Some of it was nerves and some of it was a different style of play that caught us off guard.” The second set started out much like the first—with the Rams desperately seeking answers to Duarte’s attack. Cate trailed until Duarte reached 20 points, but then the Rams stepped into the driver’s seat. A confidence-building rally turned things around. Peyton Shelburne paced the Rams with 23 kills. Delaney Mayfield had 16. Then in the third set, the team fell behind again, until the Blue Crew, the team’s raucous supporters, arrived. Buses to the game had gotten caught in traffic, leading to inferior fan support early on for the Rams. The students had been able to stream video of the match from the bus, so they were up to speed on how critical a moment the match was at, the score locked at 1-1, when they filed into the gymnasium. The Blue Crew then helped to fuel the final two sets and clinch the title. “We were right about to make a comeback (in the third set) when the students started coming in,” Novak said. In the final set, the Rams jumped up to a big lead right away, and it never

Still, commented Novak, “Those last few points take forever.” Cate girls volleyball won its first CIF championship in 23 years. Maddie Becker had eight kills and 10 digs; Xandrine Griffin contributed eight kills and two blocks, and setter Hannah Barr recorded 51 assists. Cate qualified for volleyball sectionals and will have traveled to Fowler High School in the Fresno Area for the first round after press time on Nov. 25. Cate was ranked sixth in Division 4 Sectionals and Fowler was ranked third.

The Blue Crew, Cate’s fierce fans, missed the first two sets of the championship match due to traffic but fueled the Rams’ energy surge in the final two sets.

Blindly forward a trainer’s journal

ROB BURKE You’ve heard of the saying, “when you don’t know what you don’t know, how would you know?”… or something like that. When it comes to working out in a gym or any self-driven ﬁtness environment, most newbies enter without knowing where to begin. They usually go for what seems most familiar, the bench press. From there, with the ego at the wheel, they usually put on way too much weight. Then comes the worst part: the contorted horizontal bench press dance where the body writhes and twists to eek out two reps max. Last night, I was working out on a machine. Next to me was a young man who apparently intended to do an Olympic chest press (like the one I refer to in the last paragraph—the one with the bar and the horizontal bench.) Instead, he lifted the bar from the rack ad steadied himself while waiting for something to happen, like a divine infusion of strength. And then it happened. The bar came crashing down to his chest; all 225 pounds. Three guys rushed over to lift the bar and unpin the trapped animal. Two of the rescuers scolded him. “You should lighten this weight or you’re going to hurt yourself.” The young man sat up on the bench embarrassed and defeated. He got up and started unloading the weights. I looked over from my machine and said, “Hey, don’t feel so badly. It happens to everyone.” (Not really.) He didn’t acknowledge my comment. So I tried a different approach. I asked, “Are you a newer lifter?” “Yeah,” he replied. “That’s awesome. Let me show you something.” I said. I began to explain why he’d faltered. I said, “First of all, you need to reload that weight back onto the bar. The weight isn’t the problem, it’s your form.” From there I explained that his hand positioning on the bar was all wrong and that accounted for his weakness and inability to control the movement.

If your hands are too close together, I said, or if your forearms are not perpendicular with the floor, your triceps (the smaller of the muscles in the back of the arm) will be expected to play a more primary role in controlling the weight. The only problem is that those smaller muscles are also the weaker muscles. From there, I showed him how the bar should be lifted off of the rack and placed in alignment over the chest and not the shoulders. Just like with the triceps, if the bar is too high over the torso, the shoulders will be responsible for most of the work. So think about it. This is a chest press. The chest is the primary muscle group at work and the shoulders and triceps play a supporting role, not the other way around. A bit nervous and with his hands now in the proper position, he lifted the bar off of the flat chest press rack. “Don’t hesitate too long, and move the bar over your chest,” I told him. He followed orders and was able to press once … twice … all the way to eight reps. I spotted him on the last two and then helped him guide the bar back to the rack. “Congratulations!” I said. “You just did a perfect chest press and you regained all of your lost confidence lost in that crappy first lift.” He sat up sporting a huge grin. Rubbing his chest, he said, “Man, I can feel that.” From there, I showed him how to perform proper flyes (yes, that is how you spell it) and how to do a proper incline press using the dumbbells. From a distance, two staff trainers glared in our direction. I hate the fact that I’m doing what they should be doing, but the reality is that most people in the gym will never get free guidance from a staff trainer. Instead, most commercial gyms promote an attitude where a client’s need is trumped by their ability to buy multiple sessions. Shortly after helping the young guy, an older man approached me. “I saw how you helped that guy. Can you help me?” he asked. Of course I can, and I will.

After the turkey is long gone chef randy RANDY GRAHAM

Today’s Thanksgiving spread and the days of leftovers that follow are sure to have many readers seeking something wholly distinct for the dinner table next week. Enter Spanakopita. Spanakopita is a savory Greek pastry traditionally made with filo (phyllo) dough folded into triangles. Some say this tasty dish originated over 400 years ago. It is served in most Greek restaurants outside of Greece, as well as in virtually all restaurants in Greece. Spanakopita may have risen in popularity in part because of the Lenten calendar of the Greek Orthodox Church. The consumption of meat is not permitted on any day during Lent, so Greek cooks had to look for vegetarian alternatives. Meals prepared with eggs or dairy could be sustaining without breaking the commands of the church. When served during Lent, spanakopita is invariably made with the addition of feta cheese to spinach and onions to make the pastry heartier. I celebrate this simple yet elegant Greek dish by serving it as a pie. It is a hit every time. Serve 5096 Carpinteria Ave with a Greek salad and homemade Retsina wine (if you dare) for a complete meal.

Spanakopita

Ingredients:

day July 26: McBride ob bishop 4 pm

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a pie dish by coating it with cooking spray. Set aside.

Separate the leaves from the stems and put the leaves into a large bowl. Sprinkle heavily with salt and then rub it into the leaves with your hands as you tear them into small pieces. After a few minutes of this, the spinach will be reduced to a quarter of its former bulk. Rinse the salt off thoroughly and drain. Beat the eggs, crumble the feta cheese, and mix together. Add to the spinach. Set aside. Sauté the onion in olive oil until it turns transparent. Add this to the spinach mixture. Season the mixture with lots of freshground black pepper and a pinch of oregano.

Stack the filo dough on a flat surface. Brush the top sheet with the melted butter and fit it into the pie dish, with the

edges hanging over the sides. The pastry sheets are very large and should extend quite a bit over the edges of the pie dish, even after being fitted against the sides. Continue in this fashion, brushing each sheet with butter and fitting it into the pan on top of the others. Do this until you have three pastry sheets left. Pour the filling into the pie dish on top of the filo. Butter the remaining sheets and place them on top of the whole thing, making a crust where the top and bottoms meet. You should have a strange looking, wrinkled crust on top when you finish. With a sharp knife, cut through the top layers to the filling in six equal places. Brush the top with butter. Bake for 50 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Night crawler CHUCK GRAHAM

unpredictable wilderness During late summer in 2000, I made my first circumnavigation of the Channel Islands National Park. Back then I paddled light, opting not to use a tent on that trip and a couple more excursions that followed. When I arrived at an empty campground at Water Canyon inside Bechers Bay on windswept Santa Rosa Island, I spread my sleeping bag out on top of a rickety picnic table. I was sleeping soundly when I awoke to some light stomping on the bench below me. I flipped on my headlamp and looked down to see what was bouncing below. It was my first encounter with a curious island spotted skunk. I literally found myself nose to nose with arguably the most secretive creature on the volcanic chain. Although I found it really cute, I freaked out, thinking the spotted skunk might assume spray position and give me a face full of stench in a lonely campground. As it spun around, I wrestled out of my sleeping bag to avoid its spray, but it only jumped off the bench and continued foraging near where I slept. After that eye-opening night, I wouldn’t see another island spotted skunk again until late last summer. Island spotted skunks are a bit of a mystery on the islands. They’re only found on Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa islands. There is fossil evidence of them on neighboring San Miguel. They are nocturnal with most of their activity taking place just after dark. They’re really cute, almost appearing like a battery operated stuffed animal. They’re really tiny too. A full grown island fox weighs in at only 4 or 5 pounds, about the size of a small housecat, and the island fox is the largest land predator on the archipelago. In comparison, the omnivorous island spotted skunk is only a third as large as the fox. It’s the second largest land predator on the chain. The island spotted skunk is directly related to its cousin on the mainland, the striped skunk. Just like the island fox—a cousin of the mainland gray fox—striped skunks would occasionally get trapped on storm debris rushing out of creeks and rivermouths and if lucky hit land on what was then one giant island thousands of

years ago, which is now one of the least visited National Parks in North America. Over time dwarfism came into play and the striped skunk evolved into a smaller, spotted skunk. Fifteen years was way too long time between skunk sightings, but I tend to catch up on my sleep when I’m working on the islands, so it’s not uncommon for me to dive into my tent even before it gets dark. I have smelled them several times, but unless they ran right over my feet, I have always missed them in the dark. However, one evening late last summer a bunch of guides were talking The island spotted skunk, a miniature version of its mainland cousin, proved to Chuck nonsense in the guide Graham that a big stink can come in a small package. site when a tiny spotted skunk with a straggly tail strolled through the maze of tents and picnic tables just before dark. Everyone was instantly captivated as the little bugger walked on its forelegs and bounced off its hind legs, always at the ready to go into a handstand and spray any potential threat. If you appeared relaxed, the skunk would walk just a few feet away, but if you ran up to it making all kinds of noise, the little guy was going to let you know about it. Two teenage girls from another campsite didn’t get the memo. They charged toward the spotted skunk and were greeted with a solid dousing of the smelly stuff with plenty of staying power. Horrified and without thinking, the girls ran for the enclosed pit toilets. There’s no water in Weighing in at only 4 or 5 pounds, the island fox is the largest land predator on the there, of course, so they were redirected to the ocean a good Channel Islands—triple the size of the island spotted skunk. quarter mile away. While the smell lingered in the campground, the girls went screeching toward Scorpion Anchorage seeking relief. Meanwhile, the little skunk hopped along through the campground unimpeded until we couldn’t see it anymore due to pitch darkness, although we did hear it thrashing about in a lemonade berry bush. My second spotted skunk sighting was well worth the wait.

Just married

Buchmiller - Nichols

Linda Buchmiller and Craig Nichols were married on Aug. 6, 2014 in the Manti Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A Carpinteria High School graduate, the bride is the daughter of Karl and Patty Buchmiller. The groom is the son of Curt and Joanna Nichols of Manti, Utah. Nichols graduated from high school in Ogden, Utah, then served an L.D.S. mission in Baltimore, Md. Bridesmaids were college roommate Sarah Ames, sister Katie Buchmiller and longtime friend Erin Saito. Linda designed her own wedding dress, sewn by her mother with the help of friends and family. The bride and groom met while attending Brigham Young University –Idaho where they are both majoring in mechanical engineering. They plan to live in Rexburg, Idaho until they graduate.

Girl Scouts take CVN to Sea World

Carpinteria’s Girl Scout Troop 50014 recently smuggled CVN into Sea World. The troop spent an overnight slumber party with the sea turtles at Turtle Reef. Troop co-leader Jeralyn Cox Ehlers said the overnight adventure created lasting memories for the girls.

Medels take field at Mile High

Rich Medel and sons Tommy and Mike enjoyed VIP treatment at Mile High Stadium thanks to insider access through former Carpinteria resident and proud Boys & Girls Club alumnus Mario Carrera. Rich, the retired B&G Club director, recalls when Carrera accepted the 1979 award as Youth of the Year for the club. Carrera, now the Chief Executive of Revenue for Univision’s national network of Spanish radio and televisions stations, invited Rich and sons to Denver to experience game day with the Denver Broncos. They had field access before the game against the San Francisco 49ers and sat 12 rows deep on the 20 yard line when Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning broke the career touchdown record. At halftime, Rich gave a radio interview for Univision about his career with B&G Club, one of his proudest charges having been Harvard grad Carrera.

Lions race to Santa Anita

Carpinteria Lions Club members and friends trekked down to Santa Anita Race Track on Saturday, Oct. 18, where they witnessed, among other things, the second race of the day announced as the Carpinteria Lions Club race. Following the second race, jockey Elvis Trujillo, who rode My Samurai Warrior to victory, joined club members for a photo with Coastal View News.
