Carpinteria to honor retiring city manager

The city of Carpinteria will host a special recognition ceremony for the city’s longtime city manager, Dave Durflinger, on Monday, Nov. 27 at 5:30 p.m. at Carpinteria City Hall, 5775 Carpinteria Ave. Durflinger, who is retiring this year after 22 years as city manager, said in a press release that it has been his “honor and privilege” to serve Carpinteria “working alongside a team of dedicated staff members, city council leaders and engaged community members.”

“I leave the organization in capable hands and wish success to Michael and the city staff in their continued service to the public of Carpinteria,” he added, congratulating Carpinteria’s new city manager, Michael Ramirez. “My tenure with the city has offered my family Dave Durflinger will be and me countless opportunities and experiences, none honored on Monday, more significant than being part of a true community.

Nov. 27 at city hall.

For that, I am eternally grateful.”

“Under Durflinger’s leadership, the city positioned itself to withstand significant challenges such the Great Recession and the Covid-19 pandemic. Also, with Durflinger at the helm, the city has transformed to better reflect the community, with a staff and decision-making processes that mirror the diversity and voices of Carpinteria,” Public Information Officer Olivia Uribe-Mutal said in a press release.

Durflinger will be honored at the start of the city council’s next meeting at 5:30 p.m.

The public is invited to attend the ceremony, and cake will be served after Durflinger is recognized.

Bluffs farm will bring low-income housing

People’s Self-Help Housing (PSHH) is the longest-serving nonprofit affordable housing organization on the Central Coast. With a mission of building homes and providing services to strengthen communities like Carpinteria, PSHH serves lower-income households, families, seniors, veterans, farmworkers, those living with disabilities and those formerly experiencing homelessness.

Today, PSHH owns and operates 159 affordable apartment homes in Carpinteria at four separate properties. Our current wait list for those units is nearly 1,000, or about six families waiting for each apartment. Typically, those on our wait list either work locally and are commuting long distances to work, live here but are doubled up with other families, or are heavily rent-burdened.

We are excited for the opportunity to work with Carp Bluff LLC, which is proposing the Carpinteria Farm Preserve and Bungalows project just south of Carpinteria City Hall. In addition to permanently protecting almost 14 acres of public open space and trails on the Carpinteria and creating a bungalow-style retreat, the company is also working with us to create 41 permanently affordable housing rental units and parking that will be owned and operated by PSHH. These units will help meet the high demand and short supply of affordable housing in Carpinteria.

They will be deed-restricted for 55 years to ensure they serve lower-income earning households.

With scarce opportunities to develop truly affordable housing in Carpinteria, we are thankful to be a part of this collaboration that, in addition to preserving open space on more than 70% of the property, incorporates new affordable homes for our local frontline essential workforce and their families and in support of the bungalow retreat that will serve visitors and locals alike. We look forward to working with the community as the proposal moves forward.

Kenneth Trigueiro, PSHH President

Preservation of open space is a privilege

So many letters and opinions regarding the preservation of the Carpinteria Bluffs, proposed for development under existing city zoning, yet no one can offer a workable idea to move forward. Unfortunately, many residents do not understand that CARPINTERIA

“Unfortunately, many residents do not understand that private property rights are enshrined in our constitution and state/federal laws. No government entity can ‘take’ private property or the right to use it without compensation.”

–– David Rosso

private property rights are enshrined in our constitution and state/federal laws.

No government entity can “take’’ private property or the right to use it without compensation.

Preservation of open space is a privilege and an obligation; it is not a constitutional right! Fifty-two acres along the bluffs preserved in 1998 were purchased by the city through fundraising, and the DeArkland family donated Viola Fields.

A simple, though not easy, solution would be: the city puts forward a clearly-worded, concise and focused ballot measure before voters (not like the confusing, dishonest measure T) to purchase the bluffs acreage through a tax-exempt, long-term special purpose municipal bond that would also authorize a specific property tax levy solely to pay the bonded indebtedness. The city would then prepare its own development plan under existing zoning, in consultation with professional/resident input, and then lease the city owned property (for a term consistent with the bond) to a private developer who will build according to the city mandate. Lease revenues would be used solely to pay down the bond and reduce or eliminate the required tax levy for the residents of Carpinteria.

This would not be a quick fix. However, with professional input of city planners, state agencies and a determined community, we can be for a project that will maintain valued open space, rather than always against the greater good.

Carpinteria needs a modern, elegant venue for major civic and community events that will benefit the city for generations

David Rosso Carpinteria

Open space essential for community

For more than half a century, Carpinterians have been actively working to preserve the Carpinteria Bluffs properties as open space for the community to enjoy.

We have spoken loudly and clearly with voices, votes (such as Measure J, the Paredon project, which would have had a major impact on the bluffs) and hardearned dollars (in purchasing two parcels so far to keep them as open space).

Many of those involved in earlier efforts are no longer with us, but the legacy of their passion and vision for the bluffs live on. Those of us lucky enough to live here reap the benefits of it every day, residing in a town that has repeatedly chosen to value maximizing quality of life and community over maximizing dollars. You can see it in the smiles of

In support of live music, dog parks

As a resident of Carpinteria, I would like to respond to two recent issues. The first is dog parks. I believe Carpinteria desperately needs one. Dogs are a part of our household and they love to run free. It is frustrating not to have an offleash park here. We sometimes resort to heading to Santa Barbara where they have the Douglas Family Preserve, also known as Wilcox. I don’t know if Monte Vista is the answer, but we need a dog park somewhere!

The second issue I want to address is about the live music at Island Brewing Company. I am a musician and have played there many times and have also enjoyed other musicians playing there.

I so agree with the letter from Cheryl Wright that recently appeared in this paper (Vol. 30, No. 9). With the closing of The Palms a few years back there are limited options for music in Carpinteria.

I really appreciate IBC providing a venue for live music. I think it’s good for Carpinteria and I actually believe that live music can help heal the planet. Carpinteria needs live music and a dog park!

Carpinteria didn’t become a wonderful place by accident. It happened through the efforts of a great many people to make it so.

A proposal is coming forth to develop a hotel on the Tee Time/farm property adjacent to the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve. Despite claiming that the project is “community-driven,” the driving forces for this project are coming from Los Angeles and elsewhere outside of our community.

It takes two: couples therapy in brief

CVN

In couples therapy, the relationship itself is the client. It’s not about each individual person who enters the therapy room.

MY WELLNESS NOW VICKIE GONZALEZ Couples therapy (or counseling) is designed to facilitate couples in gaining insight, resolving conflicts and enhancing connection. Relationships are complex and therapy is part of finding ways to navigate with each partner and find opportunities to explore, understand and develop their relationships. In couples therapy, the relationship itself is the client.

It’s not about each individual person who enters the therapy room.

What are some of the more common skills taught in therapy?

Healthy boundaries. Couples therapy helps establish and maintain healthy boundaries such as personal space, understanding how they want to reduce conflicts, and what responsibilities each of them ust improve their relationship with one another. Promoting individual growth with balance to the togetherness as a couple is a part of this as well.

Effective communication. Research has shown that the ways couples commu-

nicate can predict the “success or failure” of their relationship. Couples learn to communicate without criticism, blaming, stonewalling, defensiveness or contempt.

Skills are taught to effectively communicate with active listening. People should express themselves in open, honest and respectful ways. They also learn how to build trust and vulnerability so that they can share their thoughts and feelings without fear.

Conflict resolution. Though conflict is a part of all relationships, couples must resolve them constructively. Skills taught are around finding common ground, learning to compromise and managing tough emotions without using hurtful words or behaviors. Healthy conflict resolution increases long-term satisfaction in relationships, research has found as well.

Additionally, couples often encounter recurring issues that seem overwhelming; the issues can be centered around practical issues, such as parenting, finances or household chores and responsibilities.

Therapists teach techniques that work on challenges in a collaborative way that will encourage resolution.

Empathy. Empathy is understanding and validating each other’s feelings. It’s

vital for any relationship. Couples therapy helps partners develop or improve their empathy to help each person view situations from their partner’s perspective and respond with compassion. This way of communicating fosters a deeper emotional connection and improves the likelihood of successful relationships.

Enhancing intimacy. Intimacy is not just physical in nature; it also includes emotional connection. Researchers have found that interventions focusing on enhancing friendship and intimacy in couples build a foundation of emotional connection as well as physical.

What are some things to know before beginning couples therapy?

Resistance to change. Couples can be resistant to changing established patterns even if those patterns contribute to discord. Overcoming resistance necessitates openness to change and commitment.

Unequal engagement. One partner may be more reluctant to engage fully in the therapeutic process; the therapist will look for ways to achieve balance with participation for an effective therapy experience.

Unresolved individual issues. It may be important for people to also go to individual therapy. Sometimes individual issues make it difficult to progress in couples therapy. Individual therapy also helps the therapist be able to tend to both clients in a cohesive way that feels balanced and effective. Individual therapy is usually with someone other than the couple’s therapist.

Misaligned expectations. Couples sometimes enter therapy with different expectations; one person might want immediate solutions, while the other wants time to express all the emotions.

The therapist will work with couples to

align the therapeutic goals.

No secrets policy. A therapist may have a “no secrets” policy. If a therapist utilizes one then the therapist is permitted to use information obtained in an individual session, or any type of individual interaction such as text or phone call, when working with the couple.

Communicate with therapist. Research has shown that couples are more likely to benefit from therapy when working with a skilled and empathetic therapist. Couples therapy is complex and takes someone with more than just competence. Trust in the therapy room is one of the most important things for the therapeutic relationship to work. If a client doesn’t feel connected with the therapist, it is vital they communicate their concerns so that the therapist can work with them on finding a solution. A therapist may have to adjust how they work with the couple, or on rare occasions, if it is not a good match, they may refer the couple to someone else.

A commitment to growth – both as individuals and as a couple – along with the guidance of the therapist is woven throughout the therapy. Patience and a willingness to be vulnerable is essential.

Although it can be challenging to move forward, the success of couples in therapy will enable them to have a stronger and more resilient relationship.

“No relationship is all sunshine, but two people can share one umbrella and survive the storm together.”

Her private practice is currently online only.

She specializes in private practice, including grief loss, addiction/codependency and anxiety disorders. She works with people around themes of identity and purpose as well, primarily with individuals and couples.

Coaching services focus on collaborating with clients on setting and reaching their wellness goals, whether those goals are career, relational, financial or personal in nature. On a personal note, she has lived in Carpinteria all her life and became a therapist to give back to the community.

High School Muses to perform “Little Women” for fall production

The Carpinteria High School (CHS) Muses – the high school’s theater production class – will perform “Little Women” for its upcoming fall production, running from Nov. 29 to Dec. 2 in the CHS Cafeteria.

The theatrical production of “Little Women” was adapted by Scott Davidson and based on Louisa May Alcott’s novel. “Little Women,” an American classic, focuses on sisters Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth and their struggles during the Civil War. “This is a wonderful production to enjoy during the holiday season and I’m proud of the work our students have done acting, preparing the sets and so much more,” said Muses Director Elise Unruh in a press release. “I hope the community will come out and support.”

Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 29; Thursday, Nov. 30; Friday, Dec. 1 and Saturday, Dec. 2. Tickets will be available for purchase at the door each night at 6:30 p.m.; they can also be ordered by emailing eunruh@cusd.net.

Ticket prices are $10 for reserved, $8 general admission for adults and $5 general admission for students and seniors.

THREE NEW EATERIES SET THE TABLE

Remember when Carpinteria’s great eateries could be counted on one hand? Gone are those days. In 2023, you need all your fingers and some toes, too. Three of the newest and most delicious menus to pop up in town might be in the last places you’re looking.

SKATEBOARDING HAS A HOME

Even when the park was just a seed of an idea, one of its main aims was to serve as a community center of sorts, a safe and public spot where skaters can get creative, build confidence and self-esteem, and hang out and have fun. Same goes for the Push Project, an afterschool program launched in partnership between Carpinteria Unified School District and the nonprofit Carpinteria Skate Foundation, headed up

by Peter Bonning.

THE MISSING

Long, thin and scarred, the nameless sculpted figures fashioned from burnt and tumbled pieces of driftwood and wood scraps that washed down to the sea after the Thomas Fire debris flows have been lovingly fashioned into holy figures by softspoken artist Ray Gabaldón. Each “little person” has been crafted in remembrance and in honor of the 23 people who lost their lives in the tragic event that took place on Jan. 9, 2018.

NIGHT AND DAY

Sunburst Wine Bar was conceived as a place that appeals to barefoot Carpinteria weekends. The Moores, having established nearby Lucky Llama Coffee House in 2012 and Heritage Goods and Supply in 2017, created Sunburst in 2021 in what has been a Carpinteria-conscious transformation of three businesses all within half a block.

FRANKLIN TRAIL TURNS 10

For decades the foothills and mountains behind Carpinteria were to be seen and not touched. All that changed ten years ago when a massive effort spearheaded years prior by Jane Murray and Bud Girard re-opened access to breath-taking views and blood-pumping hiking and biking in the mountains. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Franklin Trail’s opening, a monumental moment in Carpinteria’s recent history.

According to the WSJ, a New York publication named the day after Thanksgiving “Black Friday” because factory workers werenʼt showing up to work the next day; in the 1960s, Philadelphia police officers also called it Black Friday because of shoppersʼ traffic jams.

Canʼt forget about Cyber Monday! Cyber Monday was created in 2005; as of 2022, it is the biggest online shopping day of the year.

CVN CVN

“Killers of the Flower Moon” Burkhart is Hale’s pawn, his instrument. Hale wants the Osage’s oil money. His plan: Marry in, murder out.

Not himself – Hale prefers the sideline, where he can call the plays from safety.

He has others, like Burkhart, executing.

Step one: Marry in. Burkhart meets and marries Mollie (Lily Gladstone).

Like other members of the Osage, Mollie has “headrights,” which means she gets a lot of oil money. Which means Burkhart, at least potentially, gets a lot of oil money.

Burkhart does seem to genuinely love Mollie. But he’s not a good person, and he’s a dope. So, at Hale’s direction, he helps move the plan to step two: Murder out. Burkhart doesn’t do the deeds himself, at least not all of them. He finds other devils and dopes to do it for him, and for Hale. Burkhart also doesn’t target Mollie, at least not at first – he focuses on other Osage whose deaths they can profit from – and, evidently, he can’t see the writing on the wall, that Mollie will be, must be, a target at some point. Again, he’s a dope.

Dopes tend to be bad at avoiding notice and eluding capture, so when (approximately two hours into the movie) the authorities start to close in, Burkhart’s end might seem like a foregone conclusion. But this is a game of Cowboys and Indians, and, historically speaking, one side’s macabre methods have tended to tilt the playing field. So Burkhart’s end, and Hale’s end, and the

movie’s end, don’t come as soon as one might expect.

Here’s a claim: Featuring great actors doesn’t, by itself, make a movie great.

Also: Having an award-winning director doesn’t make it award-worthy. And: Being three-and-a-half hours long doesn’t make it epic.

Here’s my proof: “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

It’s a vibrant story drably told. It’s conventional, unimaginative and, at times, clunky and poorly produced.

The sound editing is spotty and the tone of the score is all wrong. The acting is great at points, but at other points it’s comically hammy (see Brendan Fraser) or perplexingly inexpressive. Even the film’s heavy hitters – especially DiCaprio – deliver uneven performances.

But it’s the storytelling that’s to blame, really. The self-indulgent runtime isn’t at all justified by excessively narrowly focused plot development. It’s as if Scorsese only knows how to tell a story one way, through the eyes of amoral mobsters. He clearly sees himself as enlightening us with an important story about the victims of horrible crimes, but he does so by ignoring those victims and assimilating their story into “The Departed” or “Goodfellas”-type narratives.

Now, to be fair, a ton of people disagree with me on this. They adore old man Scorsese’s latest box-office and no doubt award-winning triumph. So this review may make them feel about as sore

as my butt felt 161 minutes into, and a full 45 minutes before, the end of this “masterpiece.”

At least they can be grateful that, unlike their Oscar darling, this review is normal length.

“Killers of the Flower Moon” is rated R for violence, some grisly images and language.

Under the stars

CVN

UNPREDICTABLE WILDERNESS CHUCK GRAHAM Darkness gratefully took the slog off my mind. Because I couldn’t see, it concealed the long trudge along the Mount Whitney Trail to the highest summit in the Lower 48 states.

The popular, lottery-driven route in the ruggedly stunning Eastern Sierra is one of my favorite peaks. That’s mainly due to its sheer east face that soaks in that easterly low alpine glow delivered by each unobstructed sunrise creeping over the desolate Inyo Mountains. At 14,505 feet, Mount Whitney towers further back to the west from Highway 395, and as pink and purple hues swept across the range, it’s one of the more amazingly majestic landscapes in the western states.

Forrest Van Stein and Solomon Nahooikaika accompanied me yet again for another mighty slog in the Eastern Sierra.

This time we trekked through knee-tothigh-deep snow from 12,000 feet to the summit, taking 16 hours and 22 miles to complete.

The rush of water

Nature’s fury was evident throughout our one-day ascent. The winter of 2022/23 delivered one of the heavier snowpacks in recent memory in the Eastern Sierra. Pine trees in the narrower, steeper gullies at 8,300 to 10,000 feet elevation were either snapped in half like a toothpick, or trees were bowed over like an alpine question mark. Many of the trees I imagined as bowling pins, as snow, granite and other debris barreled through unimpeded during relentless winter storms.

Last August, the Eastern Sierra was also heavily impacted by Hurricane Hilary. Torrential rains coinciding with snowmelt from the past winter breathed life into every tributary spilling into Lone Pine and Tuttle Creeks. The effects of Hilary destroyed the lower portions of the Whitney Portal Road, so a detour was in place to reach the trailhead leading to Mount Whitney.

As we steadily ascended, patches of snow appeared as low as 10,000 feet. The alpine lakes were brimming, and waterfalls roared throughout our ascent. Just above Trail Camp, the most recent snowfall had covered the long monotonous switchbacks at 12,000 feet all the way to

Sunrise on Mount Whitney.

CHUCK GRAHAM PHOTOS

the summit, so being the first hikers on the route on Oct. 3, I had to cut trail all the way to the summit hut.

Vampire hours

The beauty of beginning an ascent late in the night is anticipating where we might be as those incredible pink, purple and orange hues brighten the eastern horizon for another epic sunrise.

Another nighttime perk was we could only see so far as our headlamps would allow, so our focus was a mere few strides ahead at a time, forcing us to pay attention to what was right in front of us. That ended up being the case throughout the entire section of switchbacks above 12,000 feet. Knee-to-waist-deep snow has a way of doing that when you’re the one posting and cutting trail on virgin snow. But that’s where we were when the eastern horizon lit up, streaking just beyond the desolate Inyo Mountains.

After reaching the Trail Crest at 13,000 feet, we were still two miles away from the summit. We were now tucked behind the ridge looking west, as we made our way to the apex of Mount Whitney. However, in the shadows it was really cold – less than 20 degrees. As the morning wore on, the frigid northeasterly winds had a bite to them. At that moment the summit was all that I thought of.

Lofty mountainscapes

The summit was barren and deserted.

We were the first to reach it and sign in the sticker-clad ledger box. Winter had arrived, wielding an early blow in the Eastern Sierra and beyond. To the north and east, the highest summits in the White and Inyo Mountains were already

The granite frame of Mount Whitney at sunup.

The summit hut on Mount Whitney, with Solomon Nahooikaika on the approach. blanketed in snow. To the west, the entire Sierra Range was swept in fresh snow.

Although we were appreciative of the solitude on the summit, it was also time to go. It was slow going on the descent as snow melted and became slippery, and footing was suspect at best.

However, the steady trudge down the switchbacks was momentarily interrupted by my favorite low alpine critter, the adorable pika. Closely related to rabbits, they rely on a substantial snowpack for their survival. They cannot survive in temperatures exceeding 78 degrees, so they keep hidden beneath the piles of talus to remain cool. To hear them chirp is reassuring. To see them huddling atop gritty granite slabs

is thrilling as they scamper through their maze of alpine habitat.

That fleeting moment with some hardy mountain fauna put a bounce in my stride as we bounded down the Mount Whitney Trail. After another successful summit on the Lower 48’s tallest summit, I was already pondering the next mountain, the Eastern Sierra, only few hours’ drive away from home in Carpinteria.

Honoring winter’s essence

HERBS FOR HEALTHY LIVING PAT R I C I A T E N Y E R As we step into the tranquil embrace of winter, a season marked by cooler weather and longer nights, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) provides us with guidance on how to align ourselves with the rhythms of nature. Each season has its own set of elements, organs, emotions, herbs and dietary principles, and as the seasons change, so should our health routines.

Winter is linked to the Water element, which in turn governs the kidney and bladder meridians in Chinese Medicine.

Let’s explore some dietary recommendations, herbal remedies, exercise tips and emotional guidance to help you stay in harmony with the season of winter.

Winter’s arrival signals a shift to the Water element and yin energy, a time for introspection, rest and rejuvenation.

It is a season of stillness, where nature’s energy retreats deep within the earth, awaiting the rebirth of spring. Winter is the embodiment of yin, the dark, cool and passive principle. It is the counterpart to the active and vibrant yang energy that dominates the other seasons.

The kidneys are considered the “root of life” in TCM, and they play a pivotal role in storing our essence (jing), which includes our genetic heritage and constitutional strength. During winter, it’s essential to nourish the kidneys to preserve and replenish this vital essence. By nurturing our kidney qi during winter, we ensure a strong foundation for the rest of the year. The bladder in TCM is responsible for maintaining fluid balance in the body. In winter, when the weather is cold and dry, it’s crucial to stay hydrated. Drinking warm herbal teas and broths can maintain adequate fluid levels and prevent dehydration.

Dietary recommendations

In winter, it is essential to nourish the kidney qi and yin. Incorporating foods like root vegetables, whole grains and warming spices into your diet will provide warmth and sustenance. Bone brothbased soups with dark leafy greens like kale and root vegetables, such as carrots, sweet potatoes and turnips, are excellent choices. Rich in collagen, bone broth helps strengthen the kidneys and nourish the body. Mushrooms are a good addition as they are rich in vitamin D, which can wane in the shorter days of winter. In fact, mushrooms are one of the best sources of vitamin, and exposing them to light increases their vitamin D content.

Nuts and seeds are also great for winter health as they contain healthy oils.

Almonds, walnuts and black sesame seeds are nutrient-dense choices that can support Kidney health, according to TCM. Black sesame seeds are great to nourish kidney yin and can be sprinkled on various dishes or added to desserts.

Goji Berries (gou ji zi) and longan fruit (long yan rou) are known as yin-tonifying superfoods and can be added to herbal teas or enjoyed as a snack. In TCM, goji berries are used to support the liver and nourish the eyes. Staying hydrated is cru-

Each season has its own set of elements, organs, emotions, herbs and dietary principles, and as the seasons change, so should our health routines.

ON THE ROAD

cial, so be sure to drink warm herbal teas and room temperature water to support your kidney and bladder. Teas room-temperature such as chrysanthemum, ginseng and licorice root will support your body’s yin energy.

Herbs for winter wellness

Ginger (Sheng Jiang) and cinnamon (rou gui): known for their warming properties, ginger and cinnamon can help dispel cold and improve circulation.

Ginseng, known as the “king of herbs” in Chinese medicine, helps increase energy levels and improve overall vitality.

Astragalus (huang qi) boosts the immune system and enhances vitality, making it particularly valuable in warding off winter illnesses. One of my favorite formulas for boosting immunity is Jade Windscreen (yu ping feng san).

CVN rides along to Catalina Island

Volunteers with the Santa Cruz Island Foundation brought a copy of CVN along for their expedition to Two Harbors at Catalina Island, where they retrieved 200 native, rare and endemic island plants. Volunteers – including, from left, Andrea Mills, Hailey Popham, Brooke Rodgers, Brittney Hamm, John Sargent, Dave Mills, Tim Minniear, Alex Brodie and Kris Brodie – retrieved the plants, donated by the Catalina Conservancy, to be planted in a garden at the Chrisman California Islands Center in Carpinteria.

Emotions and mental wellbeing

Winter can sometimes bring a sense of isolation and melancholy. It’s essential to take care of your mental well-being.

Even if it’s cold outside, maintain social connections to prevent feelings of loneliness. Use the introspective nature of winter to set goals and intentions for the coming year. Practices like meditation, journaling and self-reflection can help us navigate the emotional landscape of winter. Reflect on the blessings in your life to maintain a positive outlook during the darker months. Adequate sleep is essential to recharge your energy and nourish your kidneys. Honor your body’s need for rest.

Carpinterian Marianne Rauch and her friends Linda Nixon, left, and Dave Postada, center, recently returned from a trip to New Orleans, Louisiana. The group brought along their copy of CVN, and snapped a photo together in front of the Commander ’s Palace, one of the oldest restaurants in the United States, Rauch told CVN. “It was established in 1893 by Emile Commander as a small saloon and was later turned into a restaurant,” Rauch said. “It has received numerous culinary awards and was inducted into the Culinary Institute of America Hall of Fame.”

Embrace gentle movement

During winter, it’s essential to balance the desire to rest with the need for gentle physical activity. Engage in practices that promote circulation and flexibility.

Tai Chi and Qigong can help maintain balance, promote energy circulation and help conserve vital Qi. While the weather may be chilly, don’t underestimate the benefits of a brisk winter walk in nature.

Walking with a group can invigorate your spirit and provide a sense of connection.

Winter is a time when nature itself withdraws and goes dormant. This retreat is an orchestrated balance, a necessary phase in the cycle of seasons when we prepare for the renewal of spring. By aligning our diet, herbs, exercise and mental practices with the wisdom of Chinese Medicine, we can support our health and well-being throughout this season.

Stay warm and healthy, and may you find peace and balance in the embrace of winter. As always, consult with a qualified Chinese Medicine Practitioner for more personalized guidance and herbal remedies. Wishing you a healthy and harmonious winter season!

The application involves Assessor Parcel No. 004-004-012, located at 4990 Foothill Road, in the Carpinteria area, First Supervisorial District.

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION RECORDING SECRETARY (568-2000) Publish: November 23, 2023 _________________________________

proposes to divide two existing parcels: Parcel A, (54.5 gross acres, APNs 155150-009, 017) and Parcel B (25.6 gross acres, APN 155-150-018) into four lots, as follows: proposed Parcel 1, 20.0 gross acres; proposed Parcel 2, 20.0 gross acres; proposed Parcel Three, 20.0 gross acres; and proposed Parcel 4, 20.17 gross acres. No structural development is proposed.

PROJECT LOCATION: The project site is located at APNs 155-150-009, 155150-017, and 155-150-018, known as 3340 Toro Canyon Road, located in the Toro Canyon Community Plan area, First Supervisorial District.

PUBLIC COMMENT: The County of Santa Barbara Planning and Development Department (P&D) is soliciting comments on the adequacy and completeness of 22NGD-00000-00012. You may comment by submitting written or oral comments to the project planner identified below prior to the close of public comment on January 2, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.

PROJECT DETAILS: The applicant proposes to divide two existing parcels: Parcel A, (54.5 gross acres, APNs 155150-009, 017) and Parcel B (25.6 gross acres, APN 155-150-018) into four lots, as follows: proposed Parcel 1, 20.0 gross acres; proposed Parcel 2, 20.0 gross acres; proposed Parcel Three, 20.0 gross acres; and proposed Parcel 4, 20.17 gross acres. Development requested as part of this Parcel Map is limited to grading and retaining walls for driveway improvements. Future structural development shall be limited to the development envelopes designated on the Parcel Map. The development envelopes identify the location of proposed structures, grading, utilities, paving, etc. to occur. All future development is subject to applicable permits. All site preparation, ground disturbances and construction activities including storage and staging for those structures, access, easements, subsurface grading, sewage disposal, drainage components and well placement, shall occur within the designated development envelopes. With the exception of driveway access and drainage improvements, no development, including grading, shall be permitted outside the development envelopes.

The project will be served by two existing driveways off of Toro Canyon Park Road, which will be improved to include new hammerhead turnarounds and widening of the two access roadways from a width of 12 feet to 20 feet. New fire hydrants will be installed on all four proposed parcels. Private septic systems will serve each individual parcel. Grading for site driveway improvements includes 9,900 cubic yards of cut and 7,400 cubic yards of fill. Easements will be recorded over each of the lots for access, utilities, and drainage. The parcels will be served by the Montecito Water District, private septic systems, and the Carpinteria/Summerland Fire Protection District. Access will continue to be provided off of two separate existing driveways from Toro Canyon Park Road.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FINDINGS: P&D has prepared a Draft Negative Declaration (ND) (22NGD-0000000012) pursuant to Section 15073 of the State Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the County of Santa Barbara Guidelines for the Implementation of CEQA. P&D’s issuance of a ND affirms our opinion that any significant adverse impacts associated with the proposed project may be reduced to a less than significant level with the adoption of mitigation measures and that the project does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The ND prepared for the project identifies and discusses potential impacts, mitigation measures, residual impacts and monitoring requirements for identified subject areas. Significant but mitigable effects on the environment are anticipated in the following areas: Aesthetics/Visual Resources, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, and Water Resources/Flooding. If the project description changes, P&D will require a reevaluation to consider the changes. This reevaluation will be subject to all regular fees and conditions. If you challenge this environmental document in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues raised by you or others in written correspondence or in hearings on the proposed project.

DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: If a copy of the draft ND is not attached, the draft ND may be obtained and all documents incorporated by reference in the ND may be reviewed at P&D offices located at 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara and on the P&D website at [https:// cosantabarbara.app.box.com/s/k04ychmxlsz0o8h850t7bqwk1lkn1yb9].

HOW TO COMMENT: Please provide comments to the project planner, Willow Brown, at Telephone (805) 568-2040, or Email wbrown@countyofsb.org, prior to the close of public comment on January 2, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. Please limit comments to environmental issues such as traffic, biology, noise, etc. You will receive notice of the dates of future public hearings to consider project approval or denial.

Warriors tip off season with Dan Mercer Classic

BY RYAN P. CRUZ • PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING

Carpinteria girls basketball got its season started by hosting the Dan Mercer Classic Tournament, playing three games over three days from Nov. 14 – 16 and coming away with two wins over Thacher and crosstown rival Cate.

The Warriors opened up their season against Thacher, and Carpinteria came out on fire in the first quarter, jumping out to a 17-3 lead through the play of sophomores Charlotte Cooney and Jamaica Cook and senior Amarisse Camargo. Together, the trio scored all of Carpinteria’s first quarter points.

By halftime, Carpinteria was up 30-8, but Thacher went on a run in the second half and in the fourth quarter the Toads cut the lead down to three points. In the end, the Warriors held on to claim the 4944 victory to start the season 1-0.

Camargo was a force from all over the court with an impressive stat line of 18 points, 10 rebounds, eight steals, six assists and three blocks. Cook finished with 14 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks, while Cooney pitched in with 13 points and three steals in the win.

The next day, Carpinteria had a tougher time against Bishop Diego. The Warriors won the first quarter, 9-7, but Bishop Diego recovered in the second quarter and the Cardinals had the lead at the half, 22-15.

Bishop Diego increased its lead in the second half and eventually came away

with the 48-30 victory over Carpinteria.

“We played with good energy and determination, but we need our execution to match it to be successful,” said Carpinteria coach Henry Gonzales. “We will continue to work and get better every game.”

One day later, the Warriors recovered in a big way with a thrilling come-frombehind victory in the Battle of the 192 against crosstown rival Cate, 36-33.

The first quarter was closely contested, but Carpinteria’s Bella Velasquez scored a quick five points and Cooney dropped another four to give the Warriors an 11-7 lead. By halftime, however, Cate clawed back to take the lead, 17-14.

In the third quarter, both teams traded baskets, but Cate held on to a five-point lead heading into the fourth, 27-22.

In the final quarter, the Warriors amped up the pressure on offense and defense, whittling the lead down until Carpinteria was trailing by only four, 29-33, with 1:30 left in the game.

Then Cooney, Camargo and Cook took control, with Cooney dropping a clutch jumper to cut the lead to two points; Carpinteria then made a defensive stop to give Camargo a chance at two free throws. Camargo made one, cutting the lead to one point with 40 seconds left.

The Warriors got the ball back once again, this time setting up Cooney with

two free throws and a chance to take the lead. Cooney nailed both, giving Carpinteria the 34-33 lead with less than 30 seconds left.

Carpinteria then dialed up full court pressure on defense and forced a final turnover. Cook was fouled with nine seconds left and dropped both of her free throws to seal the game at 36-33 in front of the home fans. The trio of Cooney, Camargo and Cook scored all seven of the game’s final points.

“We came out with a better mindset tonight and played good, hard, consistent team defense,” said coach Gonzales.

“I’m very happy with our overall effort and willingness to work through the adversity we had during the game. It was a good team win.”

With the win, Carpinteria starts the season at 2-1 overall, and the Warriors will have a well-deserved break during Thanksgiving before returning to action with a rematch on the road against Bishop Diego on Nov. 29.

Warriors boys basketball wins season opener

Carpinteria boys basketball won its season-opening game on the road against Santa Clara by 34 points, led by junior Aiden Alcaraz with 20 points in his varsity debut.

Coach Jackson Hall said Alcaraz did a good job taking care of the ball and initiating the offense from the point guard position in the 74-40 win over Santa Clara. The Warriors had three more juniors score in the double digits in the win, with Sawyer Kelly scoring 15 points, Carlo Suarez pitching in 13 and Sebastian Campuzano-Reed dropping 10 points.

In the Warriors’ second game of the year on the road in Ojai against Thacher, however, Carpinteria had a slow night on offense with no players reaching the 10-point mark. Ultimately Thacher held on to give Carpinteria its first loss of the season, 54-34.

Suarez and Campuzano-Reed both scored nine points in the loss, while Alcaraz tallied eight points.

“We started slow but I am proud of how our guys competed until the final whistle,” coach Hall said.

Carpinteria is now 1-1 to start the season, and the Warriors will host their home opener this week against Santa Ynez.

Cate opens season with back-to-back wins

The Cate boys basketball program has had a couple of strong seasons under head coach Andy Gil, and now the Rams have jumped out to a solid start to the 2023 campaign with back-to-back wins over Fillmore and Nordhoff.

The Rams opened up the year with a home game against Fillmore, and after a rusty start Cate got back into the swing of things and cruised to a 72-31 victory in front of the home crowd.

“Always nice to start the basketball season by ringing the Cate Bell,” coach Gil said. “This opening game was a chaotic yet graceful blend of hard-nosed defense, shaking off some cobwebs and playing fast. One of our goals this year is to get out in transition and run and use the athleticism we have from top to bottom.”

Cate returns this year with at least six returning members of last year’s varsity squad – including junior Marcus Scudder and senior Tyler Martinez – and a number of talented sophomores and freshmen looking to make an impact.

In the win over Fillmore, Scudder led the team with 16 points while Martinez dropped 14 and sophomore Yael Mendez had a breakout game with 13 points.

One day later, Cate continued its home stand and hosted Nordhoff. The Rams took control early and never looked back, claiming their second win of the year, 62-42.

Scudder led the team again with 16 points, while senior Julian Lee had a strong game all around with 12 points.

“This Cate team is balanced and high energy and brings the intensity, which I enjoy,” coach Gil said.

Three Carpinteria AYSO teams claim regional championship

The future for soccer in Carpinteria is brighter than ever, with three different Carpinteria AYSO teams winning their age divisions during regional tournament play. Carpinteria teams claimed first place in the Boys 12 and under, Girls 12 and under, and Boys 14 and under divisions, competing against over 82 teams from all over Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.

The Boys U12 won the Region 683 championship on Nov. 11, then advanced to defeat Camarillo 3-2 to claim the Area 10W championship as well. The team is coached by Blair Edwards, Alannah Wiltshire and Will Hornblower and will now advance to another tournament in Bakersfield in February.

Not to be outdone, on Nov. 12, Carpinteria’s Girls U12 team, “Carp Fuego,” took first place at the same Region 683 championship. Carp Fuego is coached by Carly Bass, Julia Mayer and Justin Rowe.

In the upper division, Carpinteria’s Girls U14 squad, “Carp United,” continued a perfect season by advancing and winning the AYSO Area 10W tournament on Nov. 19. Carp United, led by coaches Jeff Spach and Brett Labistour, ended the season at 10-0 in league play before staying undefeated through five tournament games to advance to 15-0 overall.

Throughout the season, Carp United scored a combined 88 goals while giving up only seven goals and forcing 10 shutouts. “Couldn’t be more proud of these amazing young ladies,” coach Spach said.

Cultivating gratitude with children

CVN

COFFEE, CAREER AND KIDDOS T E R E S A A LVA R E Z We know Thanksgiving is about more than just turkeys and fall leaves, but it’s easy to forget when consumed by the hustle and bustle of the holiday. If you’re like me, you’re worried about the shopping that needs to be done for the side dish you promised you’d bring or cleaning your home so that it’s ready for guests.

This year, we vowed to be more intentional about showing our children what the holiday is actually about for us: being thankful. We’re taking a step back, pausing and practicing gratitude.

Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you”––it’s a mindset that encourages awareness of the positive things in life. When the world feels overwhelming, practicing gratitude can help ground us, so why not practice that with children?

Cultivating gratitude in children can lead to improved mental health, increased empathy and enhanced social skills.

Here are some ideas. Feel free to adjust according to your child’s age.

Gratitude journaling, or drawing.

Encourage your child to keep a gratitude journal. This can be a simple notebook where they write down or draw three things they are thankful for each day. This practice helps children focus on the positive aspects of their lives and develop a habit of reflecting on moments of joy and appreciation. This is also a great time for connection and conversation with your child of any age.

Gratitude circle. Create a family gratitude circle during mealtime or before bedtime. Each family member takes turns sharing something they are grateful for that day. This fosters a sense of connection and teaches children to appreciate the efforts and experiences of others. We personally love this one. It’s great to hear what the kids are grateful for.

Thank-you notes. Teach the importance of expressing gratitude by helping your child write thank-you notes.

Whether it’s for a gift, an act of kindness or a shared experience, writing thank-you notes reinforces the value of acknowledging and appreciating the thoughtfulness of others.

Gratitude jar. Set up a gratitude jar in your home. Encourage family members to write down (parents can help if your little one can’t write yet) moments of gratitude on colorful slips of paper and place them in the jar. Periodically, take time as a family to read and reflect on these notes.

It becomes a tangible reminder of the many positive aspects of life. This is great

Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you”––it’s a mindset that encourages awareness of the positive things in life.

When the world feels overwhelming, practicing gratitude can help ground us, so why not practice that with children? to do throughout the year so you have a reminder of all the wonderful things that happened when you read them at the end of the year.

Acts of kindness. Connect gratitude with action by encouraging your child to perform acts of kindness. Whether it’s helping a friend, assisting a sibling or showing kindness to a classmate, these actions help children understand the reciprocal nature of gratitude. We have the kids go shopping for gifts for other children and family members during the holidays.

In a society that often emphasizes materialism and competition, especially with the increased use of social media, teaching children gratitude is a great way to ground them in what truly matters.

By incorporating these simple gratitude practices into our children’s routines, we’re helping them be more positive and develop a resilient mindset. We hope they’ll learn to appreciate the small joys

and kindness around them, so they can build stronger connections with others and develop a foundation for a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!
