A Carpinteria man was ejected from his pickup truck on Highway 101 and sustained major injuries on the morning of Dec. 26. According to the California Highway Patrol, for an unknown reason, William Avila, 44, allowed his Nissan Frontier to drift toward the center divide and strike the guardrail south of Padaro Lane in the southbound lanes at around 8:50 a.m. The collision caused the truck to overturn and land in the fast lane facing a northeasterly direction. Avila was ejected out of the driver seat and landed in the slow lane. He fractured his jaw and ribs and was taken to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital for his injuries. It was determined at the scene that alcohol and drugs were not attributing factors to this collision.

During the investigation, both traffic lanes were closed for less than 30 minutes, and the fast lane remained closed until about 10 a.m.

Unemployment continues to drop in SB County

The newest numbers released by the Santa Barbara County Workforce Investment Board indicate that unemployment has continued to drop in the county as well as the city of Carpinteria. Between November 2013 and 2014, countywide unemployment fell from 6.4 to 5.7 percent, and the labor force increased by 5,000 workers. In Carpinteria, the November unemployment rate was 2.8 percent and had slowly declined from 3.6 percent at the beginning of the year.

“As expected” said Santa Barbara County Workforce Investment Board Executive Director, Raymond L. McDonald, “the sector that produced the most jobs was Retail; which is consistent with the Holiday Season, and are probably temporary jobs.”

McDonald also noted, “There were unexpected gains in Local Government jobs (300), while the Professional and Business Services sector was flat—as employers delayed permanent hiring during the holidays, and routinely make up for this lull during the first few months of the new year.”

Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services forum scheduled

Santa Barbara County Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services will host a community forum on Tuesday, Jan. 13 at 6 p.m. at the Carpinteria Community Church, 1111 Vallecito Road. Hosted by Michael Camacho-Craft, Assistant Director of Clinical Operations, and Andrew Vesper, Santa Barbara Regional Manager, the forum will provide an update on services, changes in ADMHS and a discussion of behavioral health needs of the Carpinteria community. The forum is free and open to the public.

For more information, call Vesper at 884-1615.

Central Library offers adult literacy tutor training

The Santa Barbara Public Library System’s Adult Literacy Program will offer a free volunteer tutor training course for new adult literacy tutors in January. The threesession training course begins on Sunday, Jan. 11, from 1 to 5 p.m. and continues on Monday, Jan. 12, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. and Tuesday, Jan. 13, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. New volunteers must attend all three classes, which meet in the Faulkner Gallery at the Central Library, 40 E. Anapamu St. in Santa Barbara.

Free library tutoring helps adult learners reach their personal goals, including building job skills, communicating more clearly and learning how to help their own children with schoolwork. The tutoring program operates in all Santa Barbara Public Library locations, including the Carpinteria, Goleta, Solvang, Montecito, Eastside and Central Libraries. Tutors are asked to make a six-month commitment to tutoring, and to sign up for the training course by calling 564-5619 or contacting literacy@ santabarbaraca.gov.

the shopping list. However, as we’re standing in line behind the one person in the universe who still pays for groceries with checks and for some reason uses quill calligraphy to fill them out, we feel compelled to peruse the checkout shelves and wind up reaching for the candy bar.

(And possibly a very informative magazine about top celebrity pets’ weddings and divorces of the last year.)

So if something is in front of us, we will eat it even if we weren’t necessarily thinking about eating that particular item. Therefore, it stands to reason that if we have fruits and vegetables—washed, peeled, cut up and ready to eat—in plain sight in a high traffic area, more of them will be consumed. Similarly, if the cookies and candies are placed in a non-frequented cupboard in such a way that they are not visible when the cabinet doors are opened, fewer of these items will be consumed.

Many people who have implemented healthy changes in the past have eventually reverted to old habits and wound up lamenting their lack of will power. But most healthy lifestyle experts agree that maintaining good habits is more a matter of preparation than will power.

If we set up our living and working spaces well enough, our innate human tendencies will guide us along the right path. In other words, we have outwitted our own brain! (And the brain thought it was sooooooo smart!)

New Year’s is a time for lists, such as top celebrity weddings, top celebrity divorces and top celebrities that made both lists in the same year, just to name a few. The New Year is also a time when many people start to think about their weight. Therefore, one can conclude that the ultimate New Year’s article would be a list about ways to lose weight. With that in mind, I offer three simple tips for eating healthier this year. These tips can be followed by anyone, regardless of dietary tendencies. And like all wellconstructed eggnog recipes, they are easy to learn but are broad enough that one can fine-tune and adapt them for years to come.

1. Balance the plate. At mealtime, divide the plate into four equal parts. Place fruits and vegetables in two of these parts; place starch or carbohydrates (i.e. rice, potatoes, pasta, bread, corn, etc.) in one section; and place protein in the remaining section. If the food items have a hard time getting along, one can construct a barrier out of almond slivers and maybe a lookout tower made of two celery stalks placed face to face. Black-eyed peas can be used as spotlights to catch rebel food items trying to cross the barrier. These items can be sent to a jail made out of toothpicks where they are held until they reveal the location of their rebel base!

2. Use variety to your advantage.

The more variety in the food, the more humans will eat. In other words, the more colors of M&Ms there are in a dish, the more M&Ms will be consumed, and the more items there are in a buffet, the more people will eat. (If Weight Watchers ever comes up with a buffet, it will likely have one single item.) We can use this human tendency to our advantage.

Making a veggie platter or salad with a larger variety of components will help us eat more of these items.

3. Access. No one goes to the grocery store with a king-sized Snickers bar on

Check our website for our Class Schedules

When writing a card or inscription, ask yourself, “What does my heart want to say?”

Sit quietly and reflect. See what comes up for you. Be inspirational—“in spirit” with your heart and words. Words can soothe, heal, bring peace, happiness, love and joy.

Cheryl Ann “Cheree” Weinberg 10/16/1955 – 12/24/2014

Cheryl Ann “Cheree” Weinberg, 59, of Goleta, Calif. passed away on Dec. 24, 2014 surrounded in love by her family.

She was born on Oct. 16, 1955, to James Henry Halstead and Lillian Lucille Thompson in San Bernardino, Calif.

Cheryl earned her Bachelor’s in Fine Art from UCSB in 1982 and then went on to continue her education earning her Master’s degree in Adult Education and Training from the University of Arizona in 2011.

Cheree found fulfillment helping many people restore their health and wellbeing working in the Weight Management Division of Sansum Clinic. She spent her time away from work as an artist, appreciating beauty in the world, in nature and everything that surrounded her. She was always ready for an adventure with her husband Andy by her side. She loved all animals, but especially Twinkie, her 5-year-old Pomeranian.

Cheree was predeceased by her sister

Kathy Barnes and her stepfather Raymond Thompson. She is survived by her loving husband Andrew Weinberg, her stepson Michael Brennan Weinberg (Mary Pagara) of North Carolina, her mother Lillian Thompson of Payson, Ariz., her father James Halstead (Earleen) of Trona, Calif., her sister Jamie Halstead of Payson, Ariz., and her in-laws Richard and Mary Weinberg of Carpinteria, Calif.

In addition to her immediate family who loved her, Cheree is also survived by her extended family who adored her; nephews and nieces, Lauren and Conner Barnes, Cody (Christie) and Dylan, Matt (Molly), Kent and Casey Weinberg, Molly, Sarah, Maggie and Carly Harbison, Maddie and Jamie Brooks, and her family by marriage, Bill Barnes of Colorado Springs, Colo., Mike and Diane Weinberg of Cornville, Ariz., Tom and Bonnie Weinberg of Carpinteria, Calif., Matt and Sarah Weinberg of Carpinteria, Calif., Steve Weinberg and Stan Hoff of Portland, Or., Katy and John Harbison of Carmel, Ind., Sally and Arnold Brooks of Carpinteria, Calif.

Andy and the rest of the family would like to give special thanks to the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara, Sansum Clinic, Cottage Hospital, Visiting Nurses and Hospice, Serenity House, the Dream Foundation Father Bruce Correio, Noel Fuentes, Chaplain Carol DeTrana, McDermott-Crockett Mortuary and Goleta Cemetery. Their kind assistance and care is appreciated more than they could know.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, Jan. 2 at 11 a.m. at Goleta Cemetery, 44 S. San Antonio Road, Santa Barbara, Calif.

Because Cheree loved animals so much, she would appreciate you making a donation to your local Humane Society in lieu of flowers.

Arrangements entrusted to McDermott-Crockett Mortuary

Seriously consider reclaimed water

On the home page of the Carpinteria Sanitary District website is a posting of a recycled water facilities planning study to evaluate the development and use of recycled water locally. As noted on the posting, a regional study completed in 2013 identified significant potential demand in the Carpinteria Valley. At a recent sanitary district board meeting, I learned that the sanitary district, Carpinteria Valley Water District and City of Carpinteria are actively pursuing a grant from the State Water Resources Control Board to fund 50 percent of a planning study to do a comprehensive analysis of potential recycled water customers, mostly schools, parks and agriculture.

I’m not sure where the other 50 percent is coming from or the total cost of the study, but every day 1.5 million gallons of treated water is discharged into the ocean by the sanitary district. This is a tremendous waste of a valuable resource and an emergency source of water that one day could be treated enough to become potable water.

The study would include treatment facilities improvements, storage and distribution. The key element of the planning study will be engineering cost estimates and a thorough financial analysis. This will not be cheap, but it is something that is long overdue and must eventually be done if we are to continue to thrive as a community. The alternative will be prohibitively expensive desalinization.

Our future will depend on how we treat our finite water resources. We are very fortunate to have one of the best managed

Digno Delgado 5/7/1934 – 12/28/2014

Digno Delgado was born on May 7, 1934 to Pedro and Victoria Delgado in Ixcapulzalco, Guerrero, Mexico. He had to provide for his family from a young age working in the fields, shining shoes and selling gum instead of attending school.

Digno married Alberta Delgado and together they had three children: Lupita (Pepe), Rogelio (Monica) and Eva. Later on, he worked as a candle maker, but realized it wasn’t going to give his family a decent life, so he came to the U.S. in 1958 as part of the bracero pro-

gram picking strawberries, cotton, and everything in between, leaving his wife and children behind in Mexico. Eventually, he and Alberta came to the U.S. to work and moved their children to the U.S. in 1967 once he got a stable job as a groundskeeper at Birnam Wood Golf Club—where he would stay for 40 years before retiring.

Digno could be seen walking all around Carpinteria with his signature hat, eating breakfast at Hugos, or reading La Opinion newspaper. When at home, he would look after the family dog and his companion Tyson. He never missed the Santa Barbara or Carpinteria Farmer’s Market, where he always bought red gladiolas to take to his beloved wife Alberta who passed away in 1981. His family remembers him for his neverending desire to instill in them the value of education, and others comment on his gentle manner and twinkle in his eye.

Digno is survived by his three children, eight grandchildren (Pablo and Alex Cuevas; Andrea, Ana and Monica Delgado; Jorge, Mayra, and Anthony Lopez), and four great-grandchildren (Desirae and Aaliyah Orozco; Nathan and Ethan Lopez). A Rosary Service will be held on Friday, Jan. 2, at 7 p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, Jan. 3, at 11:30 a.m. In the words of Don Digno, “He dicho.”

Hope in 2015

This was a rough year. We witnessed the rise of ISIS, the invasion of our southern border, attacks on conservatives/ Christians by the IRS, the decimation of our military and most recently a coordinated, well planned war on cops by the racially divisive Obama Administration.

Going forward in 2015, there is hope.

The Pope, Franklin Graham and Americans are speaking out about radical Islam.

Day by day, the corruption and lies of the IRS are being exposed. Also, Americans understand that the southern border is wide-open, the cops are the only defense against lawlessness and that the executive branch and President Obama are out of control.

With a new Congress will there be hope for a better year? Only if Americans demand change and the new Congress has the courage to stand up to an imperial president.

IBC brews in honor of city anniversary

The Carpinteria Jubilee Committee has tapped Island Brewing Company to brew a commemorative beer marking the 50th anniversary of the city’s incorporation. “Fifty years, or the Jubilee as it is known, is a momentous occasion worth marking,” noted owner/founder Paul Wright. “Since our inception in 2001, we’ve always had the Jubilee as one of our year-round beers, but after some discussion we decided that this anniversary is one that needed its own beer crafted for the occasion, and so the Golden Jubilee was born.”

The first batch of the Golden Jubilee was brewed on the brewery’s new pilot system, which should further enable a steady stream of experimental brews in the Island Brewing Company lineup. Head Brewer Ryan Morrill said that everyone on staff contributed to the new offering. “The end result is an experiment that worked,” he announced. “We’ve got a beer with a malty body, full mouth feel, and a sessionable alcohol percentage. We’ll be scaling up and brewing a full batch in late December.” The Golden Jubilee is an English mild ale brewed with Sterling hops with a 4.6 percent finished abv.

It’s a Gift That Gives Both Ways Consider a Gift Annuity

viewpoint Resolving to support our children

BY BILL CIRONE, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Traditionally, the beginning of a new year is a time for making resolutions.

Some of these promises we keep, and others we break, but the simple act of asserting these goals can sometimes help us focus efforts in the right direction.

Resolutions for parents have circulated for years, and they bear repeating: • I will always love my children for who they are, not who I want them to be. It’s an important distinction because each child is unique and has special skills and attributes. It’s important to acknowledge those assets, rather than focusing on perceived shortfalls.

• I will set limits and help my children find security in the knowledge of what is expected of them. They will not have to guess what is right or wrong.

• I will make time for all my children and cherish our moments together. Many a senior citizen has voiced regrets over this very issue. Life is complicated — it takes a certain amount of discipline to slow down and cherish those moments with children.

• I will not burden my children with emotions and problems they are not equipped to deal with.

• I will give my child space to grow, to dream, to succeed and even to fail.

Without that space, it is very difficult for growth to take place.

• I will encourage my children to experience the world and all its possibilities, taking pains to leave them careful but not fearful. This is difficult but important.

• I will create a loving home environment, regardless of what effort it takes at any given time. This can be hard, because pressures on parents can be overwhelming, but the focus on a loving environment is crucial.

• I will try to be the kind of person I want my children to be: loving, fair-minded, giving and hopeful.

• When discipline is necessary, I will let my child know that I disapprove of what he does, not who he is. It is a vital message to send to children at all times.

It’s a tall order, but these goals are all worth the effort. Each one can make a real difference for children. In fact, let’s resolve together to make 2015 a wonderful year for everyone in our county, young and old alike. Happy new year to all.

Another year over, and a new one just begun At the close of every year at Coastal View News we flip back through the last 52 editions and present readers with the highlights of Carpinteria news. It’s a task that never fails to surprise us. “Remember when…? Can you believe…? Look at this!”

We’re a small newspaper in a small town, and much of our coverage can be predicted. You can count on faces of cute kids running the Orchard to Ocean, elections changing the makeup of local boards every couple years, our slew of service clubs fulfilling their promise to give and Bill Connell heading back up to Sacramento to “rattle cages” for veterans.

But every year also offers plenty of the unexpected. This year, who would have guessed Emily Miles would make national news by fending off an angry bear? Few would have predicted that water trucking from private wells would become a controversial byproduct of the drought.

And building a skatepark at the old Thunderbowl roller hockey rink wasn’t even part of the discussion until a recent twist.

As we face 2015—with its new challenges, new joys and new surprises—it’s worth a glimpse into 2014.

We hope you enjoy flashing back as much as we have.

Yes, we know it.

Many Coastal View News readers skip the cover news and turn to the Halos and Pitchforks first thing Thursday morning—and then they scroll down to read the pitchforks first. So, as we look back on 2014, it seems only courteous to resurrect a few favorites from the last year.

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

Skatepark finds footing at city hall Carpinteria has been crawling toward building a skatepark since the Carpinteria Skate Foundation was established in 2009, and 2014 may have been the year that the effort stood up and started walking. In January, the Parks & Recreation Department got the go-ahead to author a feasibility study on whether to build a park, where to build it and how to pay for it. Then in early December, the findings of that study resulted in the city council zeroing in on building a 30,000-square-foot skatepark at city hall in the area of the defunct Thunderbowl roller hockey rink.

The skate foundation had been focused on building a skate garden at the city’s newly acquired 5th Street property adjacent to the Amtrak station, but residential neighbors had opposed the addition of a skate park and more skate boarders to their neighborhood. In opting to explore designs and funding options at the city hall location, the council cited the difficulty of overcoming neighborly opposition at the 5th Street location.

The city has already obtained a $350,000 grant to build a community garden at the 5th Street location but must spend the money within 20 months, a time frame Parks & Recreation Director Matt Roberts did not want to test by trying to attach a controversial skatepark to the garden project.

The city council’s decision to focus on the city hall location now gives designers a clearer picture of what they’re working with and the skate foundation a firmer idea of what fundraising might be necessary to partner with the city to build the park. As part of its decision to pursue a city hall park, the council said a publicprivate funding partnership between the city and skate foundation will be a condition of getting it built.

Black bear terrorizes foothills Carpinteria’s black bear neighbors were living out their lives quietly in the foothills until a single bear reminded Carpinterians of their brutish potential when it attacked Emily Miles at around 12:30 p.m. on Sept.

22 in an avocado orchard off of Highway 150. The woman-on-bear encounter made national headlines, and Miles, who fought off the bear and suffered deep scratches and bites, said, “I’m very, very lucky, and I know that. That bear could’ve eaten me alive in two minutes.”

The close encounter had locals taking notice and buzzing about all the fresh tracks dotting Franklin Trail, where a morning hiker reported seeing a bear just weeks after the Miles incident. Coastal View News reader Tim Gallup sent in a photo of a bear in a tree in October at MontValMar Ranch off of Foothill Road near Carpinteria High School, where the bear perched overnight and generated a great deal of attention. After the Miles attack, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife had attempted to hunt the responsible bear, as is its policy for bears that attack humans, but ultimately called off the search without destroying the animal.

Venoco pursues Paredon but faces uncertain zoning future

Carpinteria’s resident oil company, Venoco, Inc., continued to plod its way through the permitting process for its long sought-after and controversial Paredon Project this year, but at the same time, the city council opened a discussion on whether to ban oil drilling at Venoco’s Dump Road property. Originally conjured up in 2001, Venoco’s application to drill up to 20 oil and gas wells both under Carpinteria and under the Pacific Ocean has been stalled for more than a decade due to the sensitivity of starting a large-scale industrial project in the city. Most notably, Venoco asked voters for approval but got rejected on 70 percent of ballots in 2010.

The company resubmitted an application in 2013 and had it deemed complete by the City of Carpinteria in September of 2014. The new application stipulated that exploratory drilling for the project would not attempt to tap into offshore resources but would only test the productivity of reservoirs under land. As a matter of zoning code, Venoco can only drill onshore at its Oil and Gas Processing Facility. Gaining approval to test offshore reservoirs would require a zoning change to expand its potential land uses for drilling from onshore.

However, the city council in November directed staff to reevaluate what uses should be permitted at Venoco’s property, which is designated for Coastal Dependent Industry, and to potentially make permitted land uses more stringent at the property. City planners could recommend an outright ban or to more tightly regulate drilling at CDI sites.

As is, city planners are expected to present detailed options to the city council in the next year, all while Venoco’s application has hit the environmental review stage. Venoco representatives have already threatened lawsuits if the city bans drilling at its property, stating that it would amount to an illegal taking of Venoco property. City attorneys have assured the city that it has broad powers to alter zoning and land-use codes, but that does not mean its case would be bulletproof in court.

Election seats new school board members, council remains intact Local elections this year took a backseat to the national midterm upheaval of Congress, but the school district saw the makeup of its board shuffled. Carpinteria Unified School District Board of Education had Andy Sheaffer reelected and Michelle Robertson, the former director at Carpinteria Children’s Project at Main, replaced Grace Donnelly, who did not seek reelection. Jaclyn Fabre, a Summerland School parent, was appointed to the board to represent the Summerland trustee area after nobody ran for the seat vacated

by Sally Hinton.

Das Williams won reelection to represent the 37th District in the State Assembly, and bucking national trends that saw the GOP overtake many Democratic seats, Lois Capps beat Chris Mitchum to hold onto the 24th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Carpinteria City Councilmen Brad Stein, Gregg Carty and Al Clark remain on the council and faced no challengers, so the vote for city representatives was removed from the ballot. The ballot issue that created the most noise, Measure P, the countywide vote to ban hydraulic fracturing on county land, as well as more commonly used oil extraction techniques, failed by a margin of 63 to 37 percent despite a spirited grassroots effort.

Kelsie Bryant delivers tennis triumphs

Carpinteria may never see a tennis player of this caliber again. Carpinteria High School senior Kelsie Bryant completed her four years of dominance in November to cap a 235-6 career record as the star player in a stellar run for the girls tennis program. She won four league titles and helped the team to two CIF championships. Even after the squad made the jump from Frontier to Tri-Valley League and Division 5 to Division 2, Bryant went on a 51-1 tear in her senior season. She advanced to the Round of 16 at the CIF individual tournament, a competition among all individuals in all divisions in the Southern Section, where she was thwarted in a 2 ½ hour match by Summer Dvorak of Laguna Beach, the same player who had beaten her in team CIF playoffs. Bryant will play tennis at U.C. Davis next fall and has boasted a GPA well north of 4.0 while excelling in soccer and band among many other CHS activities.

A $10.65 million bond measure to fund a pair of new fire stations is now set for the spring of 2015 ballot. Its fate, however, hung in the balance for most of 2014 as the board of directors for Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District slowly came to a consensus just before three of the station plans’ longtime supporters turned over their board seats to newcomers.

At the onset of 2014, fire board member Bob Duncan passed away, leaving two veteran boardmembers, Craig Price and Ben Miller, tasked with convincing two recently elected boardmembers, Chris Johnson and Bill Taff, to embrace station plans.

The next month, Rincon Brewery, with its prominent downtown patio and extensive menu of food, beer and wine, welcomed its first patrons.

Drought gets real

A reader sends a pitchfork to Cox Cable for failing to put the last six Dodger baseball games of the season on when they are made available to them for free. “Thanks for nothing.”

Water became a hot topic and a hot commodity in 2014. Two back-to-back dry winters had Californians crossing their fingers for a series of gully-washing storms that never materialized in the winter of 2014/2015. As a result, Lake Cachuma, Carpinteria’s main water source, crept down to about a quarter of its capacity by the fall, and water worries grew grave.

In February of 2014, Carpinteria Valley Water District declared a stage one drought emergency, asking customers to voluntarily reduce their water use by 20 percent. Neighboring districts faced much worse predicaments, however, with CVWD maintaining an ace up its sleeve with the valley’s relatively plentiful groundwater.

That groundwater supply sparked some controversy as its importance grew with every dry month. Carpinteria Valley Association hired an independent consultant to scrutinize the district’s analysis of the groundwater basin’s inputs, outputs and balance.

Meanwhile, thirsty landscaping in water-poor Montecito created demand for private pumping and sales of Carpinteria groundwater, an unpermitted business lambasted by many for being unethical.

El Niño indicators during last summer and fall raised hopes of a wet winter to come. So far, rainfall in Carpinteria is at about average, but the most recent predictions are for more rain in the near future. CVWD’s message to customers is that there is cause for hope but no guarantee that the worst of the drought is over.

Warrior guard Rubi Albarran is one of “11 starters” according to girls basketball coach Dan Mercer, who said the philosophy behind this year’s team will be sharing responsibilities up and down the court.

Monique Sanchez has scored eight points per game over Warrior girls basketball’s first seven contests this season.

Warrior girls basketball competes with an all-in attitude This season’s edition of Warrior girls basketball has the right combination of talent and unselfishness to have its official motto be “11 starters,” coined by coach Dan Mercer. “We’re constantly working at practices with different combinations out on the floor—that’s starting to come together. This system takes a lot of unselfishness from the players, and I believe we have the right kids to run it, something that I’ve wanted to do for years,” Mercer said. Everyone is responsible for contributing, a strategy that will make it difficult for opponents to take away all of the team’s weapons.

Through the season’s first seven games, six girls averaged over five points a contest. Tori Kelley leads the way at 11 points per game, and beyond that, the platoon

Faoro wins Lakey Peterson surf contest

Carpinteria grom Caleb Faoro took home the first place trophy from the Surf Happens Lakey Peterson Leadbetter Classic on the weekend of Dec. 20. Faoro, a Canalino School third-grader, out surfed the field of 18 in the 10-and-under division.

The avid surfer pulled his slick moves in the 2- to 5-foot Leadbetter surf and has honed his burgeoning skills at Carpinteria spots, his favorite of which is Rincon Point.

Boosters to hold for 2015 meeting

Carpinteria High School Athletic Boosters will discuss how to continue to support CHS student-athletes at the Monday, Jan. 12 meeting at 6 p.m. at the CHS cafeteria, 4810 Foothill Road. Officers will discuss general club business and all supporters of Warrior athletic teams are welcome to attend.

They made a special stop in Williams, Ariz., on Route 66, where they watched a staged cowboy shootout worth a lot of laughs in the quaint town.

Evans brings Carpinteria back to Russia

On a recent trip to Russia, Carpinterian Lana Evans wished to send a greeting home to her fellow Franklin Trail hikers and to the resident bears. She visited St. Petersburg, where her accommodations were not far from Summer Garden, a famous island garden in the city. She shared Coastal View News with the gilded cast-iron gate, which was installed to separate the public walkway from the Summer Palace.

Carpinteria Library recommendation “Island Beneath the Sea” by Isabel Allende

In 1770, Toulouse Valmorain arrives in Haiti from France to take over his dying father’s plantation. He buys the child Zarité to be his wife’s maidservant and has her trained by a mulatto courtesan. Valmorain is a young Frenchman whose ideals of justice quickly disappear in the brutality of life as a slave owner on a sugar plantation. Eugenia, his wife, bears Valmorain’s one son, Maurice, before she descends into madness. Zarité lovingly raises baby Maurice. Her own daughter, Rosette, is allowed to remain in the household as Maurice’s playmate. When rebel blacks destroy Valmorain’s plantation, Zarité and a slave who has joined the rebels help Valmorain escape. In return, he promises to eventually free Zarité. Valmorain relocates to Louisiana. His new wife makes life unbearable for both Zarité and Maurice, who is sent to school in Boston. While Valmorain, less a villain than a man of his time, finally grants Zarité freedom, more tragedies await strong-willed Rosette and Maurice, whose love crosses more than racial boundaries. Still, Zarité finds solace in friends, healers, voodoo and dreams of those who have gone to the next world.

“The Looking Glass Wars” by Frank Beddor

“The Looking Glass Wars” by Frank Beddor is the first in a trilogy for young adults of the same name that reinvents the Alice in Wonderland story. In Beddor’s book, Wonderland is real and a little girl named Alyss Heart is the future queen.

After her parents are killed by her Aunt Redd (the Queen of Hearts in Carroll’s book), Alyss escapes Wonderland into our world, pursued by Hatter Madigan, who must return her to Wonderland to defeat Redd, who has usurped the crown. Beddor borrows the familiar characters from Lewis Carroll and complicates them, creating an intriguing tale. This isn’t just a good versus evil story—Beddor has added moral ambiguity and plot twists to this literary adventure. “The Looking Glass Wars” is a well-written novel, both fast-paced and engaging, a good choice for readers of fantasy with the added bonus of sequels.

“The Adoration of Jenna Fox” by Mary E. Pearson

When she wakes up, her mind is empty. She knows nothing—not even her own name. A man and woman who say they are her parents tell her she is Jenna Fox and that she has just awoken from a coma after a tragic accident. Slowly, she begins to regain her memory, in flashes and images, and realizes that she was not the only one involved in the accident.

As she begins to question the accident and her miraculous recovery, Jenna begins to discover that her parents have not told her everything about what happened and slowly realizes what extreme lengths they went to in order to bring back their daughter.

Set in the near future, “The Adoration of Jenna Fox” is a captivating novel that questions the ethical limits of the fields of biology, medicine and man’s right to play God. Fans of Scott Westerfield’s “Uglies” series are sure to enjoy this YA science fiction story that pushes readers to view the nature of humanity in ways they never have before.

ready to call yourself a writer? the write practice JOE BUNTING Perhaps you write because it makes you feel alive. Perhaps you once read a book that made you think, “It must feel amazing to write something like this.

Maybe I could be a writer.” Perhaps you feel like you can’t not write.

So then, how do you do it? How do you become a writer?

You never stop becoming a writer Several years ago I became a writer.

I’m not talking about the moment when I quit my job to write full-time. That happened much later. No, I became a writer when I started writing.

No one is born a writer. You must become a writer. In fact, you never cease becoming, because you never stop learning how to write. Even now, I am becoming a writer. And so are you.

3 steps to becoming a writer

Below are the three best pieces of wisdom I’ve learned about how to become a writer.

1. Publish Really? Step number one is to publish? Isn’t that backward?

Writers write things other people read, and so the act of publishing is essential to being a writer.

If you want to become a writer, you need to get used to writing for others.

You need to practice taking feedback and dealing with rejection. You also need to start earning some fans.

You do this by publishing, publishing small and regularly. What is stopping you from printing out one of your writing pieces and giving it to a friend? Or publishing it online as a blog post or even a Facebook note?

2. Set deadlines, or better, get someone else to set them for you (and then keep them) “I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.”

—Douglas Adams, author Deadlines are meant to induce stress.

I know none of us really wants more stress in our lives (do you?), but most writers I know struggle with two things: discipline and focus. A good deadline helps with both.

A little bit of stress focuses you. A good deadline can keep your butt in the chair and your fingers on the keys much better than “inspiration,” that

“iLLUMinAtiOnS” January 10 - March 2 Juried by John iwerks

fickle muse, ever could.

The most effective deadline I ever set was to write one article on my blog every day. I did this while maintaining a full-time job. What made this deadline especially effective was that the people holding me accountable were my readers, a small group at the beginning but eventually a large, clamoring audience.

When you know people are waiting for your writing, you become a much more disciplined writer.

Hint: People are waiting for your writing. When are you going to give it to them?

3. Become acquainted with boredom, comfortable with writing-induced misery.

At some point, I’ve wanted to quit every major writing project I’ve ever worked on, and most writers I know have similar experiences.

When I was finishing my first book, I became so frustrated and hopeless with my writing that I knelt on the floor, put my face in my hands and cried (a very macho, manly cry, of course).

“I don’t want to do this anymore,” I thought. “I don’t want to write this book. I don’t want to be a writer at all anymore. I never want to feel this stupid again.”

But after a little while, I got up, and I wrote a few more words. The next day, I wrote a few more. A month later, the book was finished and sent off to the editor.

That moment on the floor was the turning point, the beginning of the end of writing my first book, and now I remember that moment every time writing is at its most frustrating and hopeless. It tells me I’m nearly finished.

Write through the mess. Write through poor grammar and awkward tense changes and switches in POV. Just keep writing. When the writing is at its hardest, it means you’re almost finished.

Some people will tell you it’s easy to become a writer. They’ll say, “Just write!” But if you’re like me, “just writing” isn’t enough for you. You want to write something important, something that touches people at their very core, something that changes the world.

That’s not too much to ask, right?

Writing like this is hard. But of course, if it’s so important, it should be hard. Let’s do it together.
