November election takes shape By Lea Boyd

The view of this fall’s election could change by the time the ballots are inked, but with just a few days before the first filing deadline, most of the local races appear more snooze than news. Not one of Carpinteria’s city council or special district races has more candidates than seats at the moment, and a few remain short a name or two. Among those with equal parts openings and contenders, there are only a couple new names—most seats look like they will hold the same bodies come 2015. Three incumbents have signed on for city council, water board and both the Carpinteria and Summerland sanitary districts. Thus far, the fire board election, with three slots to fill and only two runners, Pete Thompson and Nilo Fanucchi, doesn’t look particularly hot, but its outcome bears heavy weight. In 2012, two new members were elected to the board with the support of the firefighters. The newcomers pumped the brakes on plans for a $12 million bond measure to fund two new fire stations, a measure initially aimed for this November’s ballot. In the 2014 race, all three incumbents—all proponents of the station plans—have said they will not seek re-election. The current board could set the wheels in motion for a spring 2015 special bond election, but with three new faces joining the board in January, the fire district could find itself on a very different path in the new year. This go around it looks as though Pete Thompson will enjoy the firefighters’ backing heading into the election. Thompson, who says he has a lot to learn about the issues facing the district, said he hopes to bring a “fresh, open mind” to the fire board. He considered running for a school board seat before becoming interested in serving the community on the fire board. He wants to consider all options for the future of CSFPD—including alternative locations to the current fire station plans and consolidation with other fire agencies. Fanucchi’s hat was tossed into the ring just before Coastal View News went to print. In next week’s election update, we will present his reasons for seeking a seat on the fire board. The school board will see at least one new face in 2015 since one-term incumbent Grace Donnelly has decided not to seek re-election. Newcomer John Stineman’s name will appear on the ballot, along with incumbent Andy Sheaffer’s. The board’s Summerland area seat, now held by Sally Hinton, was wide open as of Aug. 6. The filing window will be extended until Aug. 13 if Hinton fails to file before the Aug. 8 deadline. Any race that lacks involvement of incumbents will have its filing deadline extended to Aug. 13. Stineman is the father of a Carpinteria Middle School student and a Carpinteria Family School student. He retired from a career as an electronics engineer over a

Featured artists of the Caminos 2 exhibit at Carpinteria arts Center include, from left, Freddie Castro, Lexie Lopez, Christina Zepeda, Amy Lynn Stanfield and curator Manuel Unzueta. On display is a painting by Unzueta.

Art show highlights Latino artists By Cat NeushuL When artist Manuel Unzueta decided to hold a local art exhibit to highlight the works of up and coming Latino artists, he had several objectives in mind. Not only did he want to offer a venue for new artists to share their work with the public, he also wanted to provide a way for individuals who wouldn’t typically go to an exhibit to connect to art. In particular, he sought to educate the Latino population in Carpinteria about art and help them find out more about the people who produce it. The art exhibit entitled Caminos 2 is the second Unzueta has held in Carpinteria to showcase the works of Latino artists. “In many Latino homes around the Central Coast there are people drawing with nowhere to show their artwork,” Unzueta said. “I don’t think that any artist should be ignored.” For this reason, he decided to feature the works of young and not well-known artists in his most recent exhibit to be held at the Carpinteria Arts Center beginning Aug. 7. Unzueta has a plan for ensuring that people in the local community know about the exhibit by doing such things as advertising at the Carpinteria Boys and Girls Club, the high school and on the radio. In addition, he wants to organize field trips for local students so they can visit the exhibit. He said that there

are many Latino parents from humble backgrounds who want to give their children all the things they might not have had. “I want them to understand that they have to get their kids to go to galleries because some of these kids might want to be artists,” he said. Unzueta, who is curating the exhibit and will have his own art on display, said that he plans to feature the work of seven artists, including works produced by his two children. The art will be in a variety of media, including watercolor, photography and paint. Sherri Frazer, executive director of the Carpinteria Arts Center, said that she had recommended three of the women whose art will be featured in the exhibit. “I have seen their work and thought it was amazing,” Frazer said. She said it was important for young artists to have opportunities to share their work, even though they might risk rejection. She said that as they become seasoned, they learn not to “take rejection to heart. It’s a part of the process.” One of the artists who will display her work at the exhibit, 39-year-old Christina Zepeda, said that her art expresses her feelings and Latino roots. She works with a variety of media, including acrylics, and often paints sunsets and ocean scenes. She said

Woodfest 2014 recently brought fun and festivities to Heath Ranch Park.

Woodfest 2014 rocks Heath Park

In 2006, Trish Remley decided to throw a little backyard barbeque to celebrate her husband Steve “Woody” Bradleys’ birthday. Over the following years, the annual festivities grew, and now Woodfest, as it is known, has become a large-scale affair with a pig roast, live music and games. Remley said of the shindig, “It’s a legend … If you are invited it is by word of mouth or by cocktail napkin, or you just simply crash it.” The ﬁrst time they roasted a pig, Remley said, it was gamey and no one ate it. Now friend of the family Basillio Coleman, a pig roasting expert, aids the effort. Kids are invited, and contests include a waterballoon toss, sack race and horseshoe tournament. “We try to be very respectful of our neighbors and keep the party to an all day affair and close it down shortly after dusk. Usually everyone is home safely before 10 p.m.,” Remley said.

Carpinteria tykes master mutton busting

Lucia Smith and Paco De Narvaez, two Carpinteria kids, walked away from the Fiesta Stock Horse Show and Rodeo at Earl Warren Showgrounds last weekend with big shiny belt buckles for their ﬁrstplace wins in the mutton busting competition. The rodeo event challenges tykes between 40 and 60 pounds to hold onto a fast-moving sheep for as long as they can in the arena. Smith won the Sunday event, and De Narvaez won Saturday’s. Other Carpinteria kids who tried their hand at this year’s mutton busting contests were Hunter Raad, Ryder Shaw and Brody Pozzebon.

Amy Lynn Stanfield, a 23-year-old Carpinteria resident, said she was inspired by her grandfather to become a photographer and an artist. He gave her a 35 mm camera when she was 10 years old. For the exhibit, she plans to display photographs incorporating the theme past, present and future. She said the photo she chose to represent the past is a black and white image of a road leading out of New Mexico, which is where Stanfield lived until she moved to Carpinteria, the present is portrayed using a color-saturated abstract of a band playing live music, and the future is depicted by a sunset overlooking the beach near Rincon. “It was gorgeous with so many colors. It basically represents creation and the future,” she said.

Elections:

Continued from page 1 year ago and hopes to dedicate some of his new free time to a position on the school board. When Stineman enrolled his oldest child in the Family School years ago, he had concerns about the district. Now, however, he feels the state’s movement away from bilingual classrooms and toward English immersion has improved academics and bridged former ethnic divisions that existed within CUSD. He now has a high opinion

of the district and wants to be part of its positive trajectory. If the district’s $90 million bond measure passes this fall, Stineman said that efficient and effective spending will be crucial to getting the most out of the funds. He recognizes that several of the projects up for bond funding have yet to be fleshed out. Improvements to the former Main School campus and a Summerland School remodel—both of which will likely generate some controversy— have been set aside by the current board for later discussion. Stineman hopes to contribute to those discussions.

Recently federal fisheries management has proposed designating Carpinteria Reef as a marine sanctuary, a no-take, harassment-free zone for all sea life. At first, I was resistant as I have fished and dived the reef since as long as I can remember. But in recent times my opinion has shifted, and I could not be more supportive of the idea. Only 20 years ago, Carpinteria Reef was an ocean oasis, like swimming in a Jacques Cousteau documentary. As a child in OP shorts, I would load a bag of calico bass, rock scallops and even abalone. Now it is a desert, virtually stripped. There is hardly anything left. I am one of many to blame and admit I have contributed to the depletion as much as the next fisherman. You can say it’s the seals, or blame the commercial fisherman and sport divers and fisherman. We are all to blame. The bottom line is the area has become a wasteland. I can honestly say without data that there is less than one percent of sea life that once was. In Australia, outright closures of premier reef areas were initially met with massive public resistance. Now they receive overwhelming support as the results have been phenomenal. By eliminating fishing pressure on critical habitats, surrounding fisheries have had dramatic increases in catch quantities and size of fish. Carpinteria Reef is a perfect candidate for such a closure as the nearby wetlands are already protected. Wetlands are absolutely essential to reproducing sea life, and Carpinteria has one of the last in the entire state that once had hundreds. We as a society have zero argument to continue wiping out the last remains of an amazing resource. Support the federal proposal to continue closure of critical marine areas such as Carpinteria Reef.

Measure P curbs new high-risk oil exploration

Santa Barbara County has co-existed with the oil industry for a long time, and if Measure P passes in November, will continue to do so. The initiative exempts current oil operations and does not affect current oil jobs or revenue. What Measure P does is head off expansion of specific, high-risk techniques – fracking, acidizing and steam injection. While these techniques have existed for decades, advances have brought a substantial increase in their use, risks and problems. These processes use a lot of water and generate greater air pollution and carbon emission than conventional oil production. They use toxic chemicals and generate polluted water that can contain arsenic, lead, benzene and radioactive compounds that can contaminate water via spills or high well casing failure rates. This polluted water must be disposed of underground, which has triggered earthquakes in places like Ohio and Oklahoma. Oil companies tell us it’s safe, but regulators disagree. In California, the Department of Oil and Gas shut down 11 wastewater injection wells over concerns they were being injected directly into drinking water aquifers. The EPA just released a report saying that monitoring of injection wells is insufficient: “The safeguards do not address emerging underground injection risks, such as seismic activity and overly high pressure injections in geologic formations leading to surface outbreaks of fluids.” Extreme oil extraction creates few jobs and many are temporary or imported specialists. The small increase in oil production from these techniques is not worth the risk to the other 99 percent of our economy, our population, our health, our food and our water. Instead of drilling for more oil, we should take steps to cut our dependence on fossil fuels in order to reduce our impact on global warming and help move California into a cleaner, 21-century energy economy. Vote YES on Measure P.

Miyeko Ota Fukasawa 9/9/1917 – 6/19/2014

Miyeko Ota Fukasawa was born in Arcadia, Calif., the fourth of eighth children of Kijuro and Hideko Ota. The Ota family moved to the Carpinteria area in late 1922, when Kijuro was hired by R.W. Bates to work on the Bates ranch. The Ota family at first lived near the beach on the Ventura County side of the Rincon, and later moved to a larger home on the Santa Barbara County side. Miyeko graduated from Carpinteria High School, attended Ventura Junior College and worked for the Hammet family in Montecito until the outbreak of World War II. Prior to the war the Ota family acquired a farm adjoining Parson’s air park where the brothers and Kijuro farmed. Miyeko married John Fukasawa, Sr. on March 31, 1942 shortly after the outbreak of World War II. They were both initially interned at the Relocation Center at Manzanar, California, as newlyweds with her husband’s family. Miyeko and John later transferred to the Gila Bend Relocation Center where the Ota family was interned. Husband John served in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team in Italy. After the war, she and her family returned to Carpinteria where they were welcomed back by the families who knew them from before the war, including the Ramirez family who helped the Otas retain their land. Miyeko and John enjoyed wonderful neighbors, friends and family, and were active in scouting, the booster club and the community. Both were employed by the Carpinteria Unified School District. John became the supervisor of grounds for the school district, and Miyeko became a cafeteria manager. Miyeko especially enjoyed accompanying John during his time as mayor of Carpinteria. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, and got great joy from gardening, taking care of and cooking for her family. Miyeko was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband John, her brothers Tom (Mary), Ken and Min, and sister Masaye Bisson (Bob). She is survived by her sisters Sumi Fukasawa, Kay Yoshimura and Hanaye Honda, her sons John Jr. (Jo) of San Jose and Paul (Linda) of Aurora, Ore., her grandchildren Jennifer Henderson (Zac) of Fountain Valley, Jim (Christine) of San Jose, Carol Moss (Aaron) of Laguna Beach and John Paul of Oxnard, five great-grandchildren, and nieces and nephews. A celebration of Miyeko’s life will be held at the Pavillion at Carpinteria Cemetery on Aug. 15 at 11 a.m. The family requests that in lieu of flowers gifts in Miyeko’s memory be made to the Carpinteria Valley Historical Society or the Warrior’s Booster’s Club.

Margaret “Bee” Moran Handler 3/6/1954 - 6/26/2014

Following a 10-year battle, our beloved Margaret succumbed to breast cancer at home in Carpinteria, on June 26, 2014, surrounded by loving family and friends. A Los Angeles native, Bee graduated from Grover Cleveland High School, earned a BA degree in biology from U.C. Santa Barbara and a teaching credential from Cal State University Northridge. Bee was passionate about teaching, particularly teaching children with learning or physical disabilities, and spent several years teaching before becoming a quality control specialist testing cancer diagnostic kits for a medical device company in Carpinteria. Margaret leaves behind her daughter, Lauren Ana Choy (Chris), son Michael Handler, and sisters Mary Reischl, Kathleen Eastham and Frances Zarella (Rich), as well as nieces, nephews, and friends who loved her dearly. Margaret’s sweetness and kind temper will be greatly missed, but she will be in our hearts forever. Arrangements for a memorial service are pending. If you would like to be contacted when details are set, please email bees.memorial@yahoo.com.

Capps urges President to use American flowers

Lois Capps and the co-chairs of the bipartisan Congressional Happy Hour!CutCongresswoman Flower Caucus recently sent a letter to President Obama urging him to feature

MON-FRI: 3-6pm

every wednesday:

American grown flowers at future White House events. The letter also thanks President Obama for showcasing American grown flowers at the State Dinner for Francois Hollande of France earlier this year. “The White House has a long tradition of featuring American grown products at its events, so it only makes sense that American grown flowers be included in these efforts,” Capps said. “Our local flower farmers not only grow beautiful flowers, but they also create local jobs and support our local economy – especially here on the Central Coast.” The recent letter builds on previous efforts by Capps to push the White House to feature American grown flowers, including a 2012 letter to First Lady Michelle Obama.

Music, fine art and function converge at Art-niture Photos by Garrett Combs

Over 50 original art pieces and two talented R&B artists claimed the spotlight of last Friday’s Art-niture event at the Carpinteria Arts Center. Powerhouse singers Tata Vega and Carl Graves had hundreds of art supporters toe tapping, head bobbing and getting down to the rhythm. Prices for artistically altered furniture grew over the course of the evening in a silent auction benefiting both the art center and The Rhythmic Arts Project, an organization that uses music to teach people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

r&b artist Carl Graves sings his heart out to a captive audience, the performance set aglow by the evening sun.

Alitca Gonzalez talks to singer Tata Vega during a break in the band’s performance. “I feel so inspired watching you sing,” Gonzalez told Vega.

Nineteen-year-old Carpinteria songwriter Connor Weinstein plays every instrument on his debut album titled “Invincible.” The eight-song pop/rock record features electric and acoustic guitar, bass, drums/percussion and keyboards. “The new album is a solo project. I’m going by my first and middle name, Connor Daniel. My new band name is Next Door To The Moon,” he said. Locals will remember him as the talented lead guitarist of Carpinteria power rock trio Jaded Cloud. Connor says The Beatles music is his main songwriting muse. “They encompassed every element of a solid band including great songs and creative instrumentation.” After graduating from Carpinteria High School in 2012, Connor enrolled at the Musician’s Institute in Los Angeles. He decided to record his “Invincible” project with inventive musician/producer Jim Monahan. “Four of the songs are new, and the others I wrote in Jaded Cloud. We worked five nights a week for three months making the new record. I wanted to do everything myself and have something in my hand to be able to say, ‘Hey, check out my stuff.’” Connor says song lyrics spring from his intuition. “The music almost always comes before the words. I jot down my thoughts and make sense of them later. It’s kind of a weird phenomenon. When I’m writing lyrics, they mean one thing to me, but I relate to them even more after I write them.” This columnist recently met with Connor Daniel and listened to his new album. Here’s a track-by-track description in Connor’s own words. Track 1: “Let Me Go” “I wanted a song with a punch that would start the album with a bang. The rest of the album is on the pop side. You hear a Rickenbacker 12 string on the song’s main riff. That John Lennon kind of sound added an extra texture. It changes keys in the song’s bridge. I was inspired by the band American Hi Fi. If you listen to their music, they throw you a curve ball all the time. It can go from heavy grunge rock to a pop chorus. I wanted something similar to happen.”

Track 2: “Invincible” “It’s the title track of the album and the first song that took me out of my comfort zone. I became engulfed in writing pop music. The song was one big experiment. I was trying to see how pop I could go and still keep a rock feel like the band Cheap Trick does. Their songs are really pop with distorted guitars. It seemed like the music to ‘Invincible’ was written in minutes. The chorus just poured out of me.” Track 3: “Tell Me When It’s Over” “I feel like this song sums up what the album is all about. It’s been getting radio and internet plays on Last FM, Pandora, Spotify and Jango. It brings in a bunch of different elements and was influenced by bands like Green Day and Third Eye Blind. The distorted vocal uses a ‘thought bubble/telephone’ effect. The whole song is a dialogue between a girlfriend and boyfriend. The guy is thinking the lyrics in his head.” Track 4: “We Can Have It All” “The chorus of the song was written three years ago. Something triggered me to finish it. I cranked up the kick drum a lot. I wanted to hear it pop in the speakers, and I added some hand claps to add texture. On the chorus I used sustained power chords to let the song breathe.” Track 5: “Sink” “This song has a heavier, dark feel. It’s no love song. It’s about battling demons. Everyone has them. The song describes my frustrations dealing with life’s experiences. I wrote it when I was in Jaded Cloud. Track 6: “Another Broken Heart” “There are six stacked vocal parts on the top end of the track. The song has a ‘Wall of Sound’ feeling and is the toxic twin of song ‘Invincible.’ It has a pretty straight ahead beat and the music works around it. The song was inspired by The Beatles and more modern bands like The Fray. It’s the most piano driven cut on the album.” Track 7: “My Way (Look In My Eyes)” “The song has a mellowed out chorus against a hard rock front. It has a bounce to it. The guitar solo was cool to create. My producer really encouraged me to go all out on the solo. This track is available as a free download at nextdoortothemoon.com.” Track 8: “Me And Jane” “There are a ton of layers on this song, including synthesizer. The acoustic guitar forms its main hook. The vocals sound distant, eerie and psychedelic. There’s a unique ambience to the track. It’s supposed to move you and has a slow, laid back feel. It’s the first ‘real’ song I wrote.” Connor’s new album, “Invincible,” is available on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify.

Zeddie shows that character counts

Jane Beneﬁeld’s cat Zeddie has quirks beyond his years. The 3-year-old Siamese is known to make his bed in odd places, like a bathroom drawer that he empties before occupying for a cat nap. The lengthy, 22-pound feline can stretch over countertops and make chicken disappear with the swoop of a paw. “He is a purry, furry extra heavy bundle of love,” according to Beneﬁeld, who counts both Zeddie and brother Wizard, both rescue cats, as her roommates.

Swarm swims south

CHS aquatics czar poached by D1 program BY PETER DUGRÉ

Six-year Carpinteria High School swim and water polo coach Bryan Swarm came to a crossroads in his coaching career this summer that led to him taking a job at a bigger school. The highly motivated coach had been credited with wading into a loosely organized CHS aquatics program and building it a foundation and four walls. According to Swarm and successor Matt Organista, the program erected by Swarm has yet to hit its ceiling, but the legwork put in by Swarm gained him notoriety, leading to phone calls from suitors at other high schools. El Dorado High School, an Orange County school with a population of 2,100, won the Swarm sweepstakes, and Carpinteria lost out on its coach to a new challenge and higher-profile job. “I never applied for a job,” Swarm said. “I wasn’t looking for another job.” Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District was willing to make great accommodations for its new Director of Aquatics—his official title—and his teacher wife, Leigh Ann Swarm, who had put in 10 years as a language arts teacher at Carpinteria Middle School. “At some point, I’ll be able to coach at this high school, (Leigh Ann) will be able to teach at this high school, and our kids will be at this high school,” Bryan said. Leigh Ann remains at the middle school level but will have more potential for mobility in the larger district and aims to teach high school. They hope to live near to the school and to maintain a semblance of a small-town tight-knit lifestyle like they had in BILL SWING Carpinteria.

Why should anyone read your writing? the write practice JOE BUNTING

Carpinteria Library recommendation “Stay Up With Me” by Tom Barbash

In this collection from novelist Tom Barbash, the characters are as familiar as friends and family members. A boy copes with feelings of guilt from the death of his brother as his mother separately grieves in “Howling at the Moon.” In “How to Fall,” a young woman, coerced by a girl friend, goes on a singles skiing trip to overcome a recent breakup. And, Timkin hosts his annual nightbefore-the –Macy’s-Thanksgiving-Day-Parade party in “Balloon Night” as he tries to cover up his estranged wife’s absence. Barbash shows empathy for people with unlikable qualities as in “Somebody’s Son;” a real estate con preying on an elderly couple who come to know their antagonist better than he knows himself. The author draws us in from the start of each new story without the feeling that we’ve already been there as sometimes happens with short story collections. ––Tara O’Reilly, supervising librarian, Carpinteria Library, 5141 Carpinteria Ave.

Friends of the Library recommendation “The Last Extinction” by Michael Scott Hanrahan

Local filmmaker and educator Michael Scott Hanrahan’s “The Last Extinction” is available in paperback as well as a Kindle edition that pushes the boundaries of the electronic form. This is truly an enhanced reading experience, as the animated illustrations deepen immersion in the story, while propelling one through a genuine page-turner (or, in this case, a page-swiper). The science is solid and seamlessly integrated into the narrative, so it’s not only a thrilling adventure, but it’s also an educational primer on the global environmental realities of the day, such as an anthropogenic Sixth Mass Extinction. A bit like a Jurassic Park with embedded scenes from the movie. Importantly, the story is essentially told from the point of view of the animal world, under siege by the ultimate destructive force on the planet, Homo sapiens. Highly recommended for pre-teens, teens and adults who want to enhance their understanding of our amazing and fragile natural world while being elegantly entertained. ––Geoff Stearns, customer of Friends of the Carpinteria Library Used Book Store, 5103 Carpinteria Ave.

“This Song Will Save Your Life” by Leila Sales

Lonely and insecure, 16-year-old Elise Dembowski has never had any self-confidence. Finally one summer, she decides to change all that, and spends 10 weeks reinventing herself, only to find that once she gets back to school, despite her hard work, she is still as unpopular and friendless as she has always been. Desperate and lonely, Elise begins sneaking out at night to take long walks by herself and soon stumbles upon a nightclub, called Start, where she meets Char, an older boy who works at the club as a DJ. Soon, Elise is making friends and learning how to DJ, creating a whole new life for herself and finding confidence that she never had before. She continues to sneak out of her mom’s house every Thursday night and gets her own 30-minute slot as a DJ at Start, alongside Char. But when a fake diary supposedly written by Elise is posted on the Internet, Elise begins to fear that the wonderful new life she has built for herself is about to be taken away. Can her new friends help her fix things, or is Elise doomed to unpopularity forever? ––Audrey Lent, Santa Barbara City College student

Coastal View & Carpinteria Library Book Club “Orphan Train” by Christina Kline

In “Orphan Train,” Christina Kline delivers a powerful and poignant story hinged on the unlikely pairing of young Molly Ayer and an older woman, Vivian, whose home Molly cleans. The two discover an unexpected friendship that keeps Molly, 17, narrowly avoiding juvenile hall. The world-weary heroines search for answers into the mysteries of Vivian’s own childhood as an orphan. Anyone interested in reading and discussing the book should attend the next meeting of the Coastal View and Carpinteria Library Book Club on Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Carpinteria Library, 5141 Carpinteria Ave. For more information call 684-4428.

According to Dictionary.com, the definition of a story is, “A narrative, either true or fictitious, in prose or verse, designed to interest, amuse, or instruct the hearer or reader.” To me, the most interesting part of that definition is the second part, “designed to interest, amuse, or instruct,” because if you’re like many talented writers, your story might not be very interesting. Too often, writers get caught up trying to express themselves and forget to interest and amuse their audience. In his book “Story,” Robert McKee says: “When talented people write badly, it’s generally for one of two reasons: Either they’re blinded by an idea they feel compelled to prove, or they’re driven by an emotion they must express. When talented people write well, it is generally for this reason: They’re moved by a desire to touch the audience.” The best stories aren’t about how the author feels. The best stories are about how the reader feels. How do you do that, though? How do you write a story that accomplishes the true definition of that wonderful word, “story”? Below are three subconscious reasons people will read your story. You can find these time-honored storytelling techniques in classic literature and pop TV shows, but they are all techniques most readers don’t even notice. Here are three effective techniques to get people to read your stories: 1. Tell them a secret First, people will read your story because you have a secret to tell them. Batman has a secret. And operates from a secret cave under Wayne Manor. Peter Parker has a secret. He’s Spiderman. Harry Potter learns a secret. He’s a wizard. Secrets are powerful because they tap tension in an engaging way. Secrets create insiders and outsiders, which also breeds tension (and excitement). Secrets are also the fuel behind detective stories, including all those formulaic shows on TV we love (or love to hate), like “Bones,” “NCIS,” “Law and Order,” and so on. In these stories, the secret (usually a murder) acts as a puzzle the audience is invited to help solve. You can find secrets in every genre, even in business books and religious texts. (Read Mark. Jesus had secrets, too.)

2. Solve their problems Second, people will read your story because you solve their problems, or rather, you show them how to solve their problems by solving the problems of your characters. In “Save the Cat,” Blake Snyder teaches that the first pages of a story are meant to reveal your protagonist’s flaws, her real life problems. For example, in the first 50 pages of your novel, you might show us how your protagonist is overworked, secretive, single and that she has very powerful enemies (perhaps your protagonist is a spy?). Or perhaps he’s feeling depressed and unfulfilled and was recently fired from his job. You decide! Why are flaws and problems important in stories? Because after good storytellers create problems, they get to solve them throughout the rest of the story. Everyone has problems––problems with relationships, money and family, even Superman (especially Superman). The magic of stories is that they allow us to watch as those problems we all face get solved. Problems create tension. A good storyteller heightens tension by exposing deep flaws. Then, the storyteller releases that tension through the protagonist’s own heroic efforts. (By the way, beware trying to solve your protagonist’s problems for him. This is called deus ex machina, and it will destroy your story’s drama.) 3. Give them a savior Last, people will read your story because you give them an inspiring hero. It struck me recently how many novels are narrated by an ordinary person observing the life of an extraordinary person. “The Great Gatsby” is like this. Reviewers of the recent film adaptation complained how “boring and spineless” Tobey Macguire’s performance of Nick is. Well, that’s because in Fitzgerald’s novel Nick is boring and spineless! But the magic of the story is that he gets to meet a hero, a savior. In other classic stories, stories like “Don Quixote,” “Absalom! Absalom!,” “American Pastoral,” “The Gospel of Luke” and “Moby Dick,” the authors follow the same strategy: an ordinary person tells the story of the origin, the rise and the inevitable victory of a hero (and often the fall of the hero, as well). Why does this strategy always work? Because we are inspired by the heroes among us, the Achilleses, the Gatsbys, the Lancelots. We admire them and, most of all, envy them. Some of us are confident (or delusional) enough to think that maybe we are one of them. However, what we love most of all is watching heroes fall. The Achilles, Gatsbys, Lancelots always die tragically. You can’t be a savior, these stories seem to tell us, without sacrifice. Do you tell stories about secrets, solutions and saviors?

Practice

Write a story about a secret, a solution or a savior. Write using the techniques above for 15 minutes. When you’re finished, share your practice with a friend to get feedback. You can even share your practice on The Write Practice website at thewritepractice.com/defining-story. Have fun! Born and raised in Carpinteria, Joe Bunting now lives outside of Atlanta, Ga. with his wife and son. You can find more practical inspiration for your writing at thewritepractice. com.

on the road Goularts escape The Rock

During a road trip to San Francisco, the Goulart twins, Deborah and Tabbitha, commingled two sets of grandparents for a visit to Alcatraz Island. Paternal grandparents took the trip from Carpinteria, but the maternal grandparents departed on a longer journey from Slovakia. The Slovakians were able to experience San Francisco for the first time. They slipped in some CVN time on Alcatraz.

CVN peaks at Shasta

Following a year of preparation, David Kephart reached the pinnacle of Mount Shasta on June 29. The climbing group set out at 1:30 a.m. and summitted the 14,180-foot peak at 10:30 a.m. The stratovolcano is the second tallest in the Cascade, only falling short of Mt. Rainier in Washington. On a clear and sunny day, Shasta, the fifth tallest California mountain, can be seen from over 100 miles away.
