Linden Ave. businesses ride out vacancies By Peter Dugré

Vons and then Haggen closing on Linden Avenue has left more than a void in the local grocery shopping landscape. Downtown shops are feeling the collateral damage of depleted foot traffic. “Nobody is coming downtown. People used to go to the grocery store to get whatever, and they’d see something really cute in the window and stop in,” said Rachel Nuñez, owner of Blue Orchid Boutique, a woman’s clothing store on the 900 block of Linden Avenue. Nuñez said that November 2015 saw a reduction in sales by 40 percent from the prior year. The winter season always signals a slow down from the summer tourism season, but downtown retail

vacancies have tightened the seasonal squeeze. Local holiday shoppers buoy the small businesses during December, but now that January is here, the lack of traffic has been exacerbated. “Downtown is decimated,” Nuñez said. In addition to the grocery store, 2015 saw the closure of Tony’s Restaurant, Cajun Kitchen and Beach Bowl, which combined represent that many fewer reasons to visit downtown and shop around. Small shop owners including Nicole Williams of Clothesline Boutique equate all the open parking spaces and

1. SWAP SWEETS FOR NUTS: Replace that sweets bowl with nuts. A good start to curbing the urge to stuff sweets into your mouth for a rewarding sugar ﬁx is to put them out of sight. Tree nuts like cashews provide a caloric wallop at nearly 200 calories per ounce, but the protein and fats of which they’re comprised satisfy hunger for longer and don’t shock the body with an onslaught of simple sugars. Staving off hunger with nuts helps to keep the stomach from making impulsive choices for fatty, salty or sweet cravings.

2. COLOR UP THE KITCHEN WITH A FRUIT BASKET: Prioritize for a healthier you by sending a fruity signal to yourself and those around you. A fruit basket kitchen table centerpiece stocked with seasonal citrus, apples and pears will remind everyone what the right choice is for snack time. Keep yourself interested and creative by diversifying the fruit basket by experimenting with a new fruit during each week’s shopping excursion. 3. MAKE A MEAL PLAN: Organization goes a long way to making healthy meal choices. Quick and easy decisions made when hunger pangs call for immediate satisfaction lead to ordering out and selecting whatever is most convenient. Slow cookers and crock pots come in handy if the time is a main factor preventing home cooking. Soups and stews cook themselves during the work day and ﬂavors of aromatic vegetables deepen and become more satisfying when given the chance to fully develop.

4. PACK A SNACK: You’re often on the go. The nut bowl, fruit basket and crock pot are at home and you’re in trafﬁc or are late for an appointment. There’s no reasons to go hungry with a little forethought and preparation. Keep some trail mix in the glove box or a cheese stick handy.

1. GAIN FOCUS: You time has evaporated. You’re always connected to the next email or text message or social media notiﬁcation. The problem is, the instant communication lacks focus and pulls you in a million different directions. Make a point of starting the day in a place that dissolves distraction. Be it in the shower or during a walk on the beach, ﬁnd a word to focus on, even if just for a minute, that can focus your day. Progress, gratitude, smile and better, are good options. 2. TAKE A TIME OUT: The walls have closed in, but it’s not too late to save the day. Take lunch outside; have a walking meeting; or simply remember that you deserve some fresh air. Taking a 20 minute time out will actually add time to your day by refreshing and reinvigorating your mood and mindset. 3. SLOW DOWN AND SHUT DOWN: You know that you’re sick of the screen telling you what to do. Make a new rule for yourself to take back the end of your day for yourself. What are you so scared of? Put the phone and computer to bed before you go to bed. Mindfully let go the stressors of the day, because, hey, you’ll wake up in the morning and refocus.

Amrit Joy’s Hints for Healthy & Happy Living

Say “no”

Blue lines are the ad’s boundaries

Saying “no” is often very hard to do. There are so many things that are good and worth us doing. We have to really think about our priorities. In order to say “yes” to what really matters, we often have to say “no” to some good things. Take your time and decide how you want to spend your time and energy on this earth.

fewer faces on the streets to less exposure and diminished chances to have potential customer eyes view window displays. Daniel Case, owner of Soap, said he has noticed the downward trend, but it’s a familiar cycle to the 17-year business owner. At the low point of recession, vacancies dotted downtown. “The trend repeats itself continuously,” he said. In the past, concerted efforts by businesses and the city have spawned events like the California Avocado Festival and First Friday events, both meant to drive people into the shopping district. Acting City of Carpinteria Community Development Director Steve Goggia commented that the city is tuned into the issue and is monitoring progress in filling the gaps. Smart & Final Extra is positioned to fill the vacant grocery store and a representative from the chain will address the city council on Monday, Jan. 25. Plans have been approved for a remodel of the Tony’s Restaurant space, and a new restaurant will replace it sometime in the near future. The Cajun Kitchen location has been purchased by Carpinteria Arts Center, and the nonprofit supporting arts in Carpinteria is looking to increase its outreach and activity through its new space.

City pot rules unfair to patients

Marijuana is a weed. A seed can pass through the gullet of a bird and sprout most anywhere. How can anyone control that? The State of California could well be exceeding limits for the number of plants on public land without even knowing. Many people have worked diligently to get the Compassionate Use Act passed. Before dispensaries existed, there were no options for patients except to risk buying it on the street. My beautiful brilliant friend Gerilyn Wells moved here to attend law school and ended up dying in a homeless encampment in Isla Vista. She never recovered from the beating that she received trying to buy a $20 gram. Is Mayor Carty really suggesting that frail elderly and others weak with pain become criminals to get the medicine they need? Many caregivers are paid by the state to pick up prescriptions for patients as part of their duties. At $15 per hour the more difficult you make it to obtain, the more money it is going to cost taxpayers. Home delivery became necessary because the only dispensary in the county was located up a flight of stairs. Carpinteria wants to hold control of medical marijuana growth and distribution, but it is not clear if it can enforce accessibility or anything else on private property. Carpinteria already has a no smoking ordinance that the city cannot enforce. Starbucks built a patio for smokers. What can the city do if they go Amsterdam international and allow marijuana to be smoked openly? Dispensaries and the undesirables they attract are thought to be a detriment to property values. Maybe one of the community partners can create some accessible affordable housing with greenhouse space where patients can grow their own. If anyone has an overtaxed underutilized property that they want to put to good use please contact me, I have a few ideas.

Dems overlook radical sexists

The Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton and Lois Capps are always promoting women’s rights. Sadly, they fail to address the real war against women—the horrific treatment of them by the Islamic State or jihadists. Under Sharia Law, women have no rights. Girls are raped, murdered and forced into marriages as young as 9 years old. Many female juveniles and women are executed in the Muslim world by stonings, shootings or hangings. Many are killed for simply defending themselves. Iran leads in the execution of women. President Obama is appeasing and allowing Iran to get billions of dollars. During New Years Eve, European women in Germany, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland and other countries were sexually assaulted by gangs of Muslim refugees. Over 650 women in Germany have filed criminal complaints. According to German authorities, it is because of “Taharrush”—where gangs of Muslim men attack/rape women during major events. This outcome is the result of the massive influx of Muslim refugees into Europe. Where is the outrage over what happened to these women? Why was it covered up, whitewashed and ignored? Where were Lois Capps and Hillary Clinton on this issue? It is time that America wakes up and recognizes the real war against women. It is not Donald Trump or the Republican Party. It’s Sharia Law.

He speaks for the air

I’ve been concerned about the air quality in our community for a number of years. Both the city and the SB Air Pollution Control District say it is fine and don’t worry about it. But I do worry about it because of the danger it poses to our community. Consider this: 1. A hundred thousand vehicles crawl through our community every day. All of these are burning fossil fuels and polluting the air we breathe with carcinogens. 2. We are about to begin new construction on two overpasses and two bridges very soon. One of these projects would create enough turmoil, but four will create traffic congestion such as we’ve never seen and pollution from diesel construction equipment will rise dramatically.

Thursday, January 21, 2016  5 Diesel is one of the most dangerous air pollutants. 3. The Santa Barbara Channel because of its busy maritime traffic contributes to almost 50 percent of the air pollution to the south coast. 4. The final phase of the 101 widening from Milpas to Carpinteria will begin soon after the overpass widening project is complete. We are looking at many, many years of nonstop freeway construction. 5. Finally, El Niño will have a tremendous affect on the construction projects. It will delay and disrupt construction resulting in massive freeway and local congestion. El Niño storms will also shut down the I-5 freeway from time to time and divert all of its traffic to the 101 causing massive gridlock and pollution to our community. We are about to enter a perfect storm of pollution, and there is nothing monitoring this in our community. I have asked our city council several times to install continuous emissions monitoring equipment at our population centers to determine the extent of the pollution problem if any. The city response so far has not been very supportive.

Ruben Camacho 1/8/1925 – 1/7/2016

Ruben Camacho passed peacefully into heaven on Jan. 7, 2016, one day short of his 91st birthday. Ruben was born in Santa Monica, Calif. on Jan. 8, 1925 to Jose and Teresa (Mata) Camacho. He was the second of seven children and was often referred to as “number two” by his sister and brothers. Ruben was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1943 at the age of 18. Ruben was wounded at the Battle of Salerno, Italy and was captured by the Germans. He was MIA and a POW for 18 months, when he was liberated by the Russian Army. Subsequently he was awarded the Purple Heart and the Silver Star. Returning home after World War II, he began his long career in the nursery business working in the Los Angeles area at The Westwood Nursery. In 1949, Ruben married Celia Alderette. The family moved to Carpinteria in 1964 when his brother, Henry, opened Carpinteria Nursery. He worked for his brother and with other family members until he retired. During his years in Carpinteria, he was active in the schools his daughter Gloria attended: Saint Joseph Church, volunteering as booth captain for many a carnival; at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, he served as Rummage Sale Chair, President of the Parent Board and played on the parent softball team; at Bishop High School, he was a member of the Dad’s Club.

Jennifer Charlene Sanchez 8/9/1972 – 1/8/2016

Jennifer Charlene Sanchez passed away peacefully on Jan. 8, 2016 in Ventura. Jenny was born in Santa Barbara on Aug. 9, 1972. She was always a happy girl, full of fun and life. She attended Notre Dame Catholic School through eighth grade graduating in 1986 and then attended Carpinteria High School graduating in 1990. Jenny worked as a preschool director and loved working with the children. She later became a

three children, Rick, Nora and Kristi. He was a loving second father to them, always ready to help in his own quiet way. Ruben enjoyed sports, watching and playing. He traveled to the Dodger Stadium with friends and on bus trips with the Orcutt Senior Center. He belonged to the Orcutt Senior Softball League, and golfed, but bowling was his favorite sport. He bowled for many years, first at Oak Knolls Bowl and after at Rancho Bowl. Through the years he was active at the Senior Center, the Big Brother Program and a Prisoners Visiting program at his church, St. Louis de Montfort. He assisted the Braille bowlers and golfers, transporting them to the Braille Institute in Santa Barbara. He was an active lifetime member of the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) and Post #2 of the American Vets (American Veterans) in Culver City, since 1947. Ruben’s real passion was the garden, propagating plants and having his own backyard nursery until his illness. He was a member of the Orcutt Garden Club, taking part in all of their County Fair displays with many of his own plants. He took many road trips with the group, eager to learn more. The Oasis Senior Center is very nicely landscaped with many of Ruben’s own plants, which he loved tending every day. He was never bored, was always happy, always with a smile, ready to help anyone in need. Ruben was a kind and generous person, loved by all who knew him, a man of faith to the day he died. He still carried with him his Sacred Heart scapula he wore during World War II, and his belief that it guided him home. He is survived by his wife, Ann, to whom he was married for 27 years. No words can say how much he will be missed by her; his daughter Gloria Solano (Nick); Rick and Nora Ward; Kristi Brubaker (Roy); grandchildren, Nathan, Nicole, Devon and Christian. Services will be held at St. Louis de Montfort Catholic Church on Saturday, Jan. 23, 2016 at 2 p.m. followed by a celebration of his life at The Orcutt Senior Center.

Reeve WOOLPeRT

Washed ashore and abandoned, the Clara Sea sat on Summerland beach for days before a crane, tractor and dumpster arrived to lay her to rest on Jan. 14.

the summerland shore FRAN DAVIS

Oily beach update Readers may remember Summerland’s beach trauma from a few short months ago. A beach awash with so much petroleum that anyone who dared to swim emerged looking like a creature from the Black Lagoon. The culprit was an old shoreline oil well, badly capped and abandoned at the end of the town’s oil boom in the early 1900s. The county and State Lands Commission got involved. Signs went up warning visitors about the contaminating dangers of oil on the skin and in the air. Our beautiful beach became off limits to most. The health advisory signs are still up, but with the arrival of winter the oil problem has eased—the air clear, just patches of sheen here and there and some thin lines of granulated black stuff at the tide line. You still come home with tar lodged in the ridges of your tennies, but walking the beach at low tide is a pleasure again. After State Lands got deluged with “Seep Reports” submitted by upset beach users, and after First District Supervisor Salud Carbajal and Assemblyman Das Williams and State Senator Hannah Beth Jackson spoke up and out, the commission got it together to do something. In October they located the leaky Becker wellhead, dug it up, marked it and committed to do the engineering report necessary to cap it. All well and good, except the approximate $1 million needed for the work wasn’t available.

The good news

We know that Assemblyman Williams pushed to get funding into the state’s next budget cycle. Now we learn from Hillary Blackerby, Williams’ assistant, that the State Lands’ budget request includes $200,000 for “Oil Spill Prevention Fund” in 2016-17 and an additional $700,000 in 2017-18 to “conduct Phase 1 activities related to the Becker Onshore well.” The request concludes that abandonment of the Becker well is necessary for the “health and safety of the public and the marine environment.” Hallelujah! It may be too early to celebrate—there’s still the lengthy business of hearings in various budget subcommittees, followed by a May budget revision and then adoption by the legislature in June. We’ll be keeping all our fingers tightly crossed that the State Lands requests sail through!

home,” Tinker said, adding that Megan is leaving her job as a graphic designer for Shutterfly in the Bay Area to make the move back to Summerland. I almost jumped for joy. ever since Café Luna closed, Summerlanders have been so deprived of good java they’ve turned positively grumpy. We should probably hold a grand opening love-fest when Red Kettle Coffee finally premiers. Which won’t be for a while yet. Tinker said they’re hoping for a March opening, but much remains to be done, some permits obtained, a handicapped bathroom installed, plus some other fixing up. Red Kettle will be serving Moore Coffee, roasted in ventura. I checked the website, which goes into such loving description of how the beans are roasted I could almost smell the aroma. They advertise providing “socially responsible coffee from around the world.” The coffee sounds heavenly!

ity meant something—a firm anchorage, staying power. She’d weathered a few storms after all. But the Clara Sea was no match for the big waves that rose up and roared the first week of January, and they sent her crashing back to shore. She now lies on her side, her blackened, barnacle-studded bottom tilted toward the sun. Out of her element, all buoyancy and charm fled, like a beached sea creature. Signs hang from the remains of her rigging, “Danger: Abandoned Boat. Do not climb on or about.” About? Not that anyone would want to climb about that broken boat, her dank inner space full of bilge water and floating debris. The transformation was quick—from useful, seaworthy craft to useless derelict in a day. Beach goers stop and stare, circle her heaved-over hull, peer inside the dark hatch. What we’re all wondering now is whose job it is to cart off the remains.

RIP Clara Sea

One good thing: The smell of raindrenched air.

She was a sailboat that floated just out of reach off Summerland Beach. We grew accustomed to seeing her anchored there for the past couple of years, bobbing in the brightness. A steady presence in the ever-shifting sea. We figured her longev-

What’s new at the harbor seal rookery? ADAM CAIRA

The following counts taken from Jan. 1-9 were compiled from Carpinteria Seal Watch volunteer reports. Carpinteria harbor seal beach closure runs from Dec. 1 to June 1 each year. Seal Watch volunteers are still welcome to sign up by calling 684-2247.

High Adult Count

Visitors

High Pup Count

High surf and weather kept both seals and people away some days. Volunteers recorded 1,407 viewers at the overlook. Represented countries and states included Brazil, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Poland, Vermont, Illinois, Minnesota, Utah, New Jersey, Ohio, Connecticut, Montana, Idaho, New Hampshire, Indiana, New Mexico, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida, Colorado and Washington.

Disturbances

The seals ﬂed to the ocean when a couple approached on the beach.

Natural History Notes

Harbor seals ambulate on their bellies; they cannot run on their front and rear flippers like sea lions. Given their relatively small size—approximately human size—and clumsiness on land, they are quick to flee when there are startling noises or perceived threats. Dogs are one threat. A dog on the beach will chase seals into the ocean, and a barking dog on the blufftop usually causes them to flee. The bluff at the viewing area is not very steep, and dogs have run down it to the beach. For this reason and to avoid barking, viewers are asked to leave dogs a few yards away at the entrance.

More Info

The Carpinteria harbor seal rookery is located immediately east of Casitas Pier, between the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve and Carpinteria State Beach. Please remember not to bring dogs, bicycles or loud voices to view the seals. Harbor seals, when disturbed, may ﬂee and become separated from their pups. Volunteers ask that dogs remain outside the rope area at all times. Call 684-2247 or email carpsealwatch@gmail.com if you are interested in volunteering.

The power of mentoring: Shaping lives, growing leaders BY VICTORIA JUAREZ, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR GIRLS INC. OF CARPINTERIA

January is National Mentoring Month, an opportunity to recognize the power of relationships between caring, trusted adults and youth. Mentors promote conﬁdence, enable dreams and encourage growth. The benefits of mentoring are well documented and can include better grades, improved relationships with family and peers, and higher engagement in one’s community. Youth beneﬁt from positive relationships with adults who encourage their potential and open their eyes to new possibilities for their futures. These experiences are even more critical for children and teens who come from difficult socio-economic backgrounds or face other challenging circumstances. Young adults who were at risk of falling off track but had a mentor are: • 55 percent more likely to enroll in college • 78 percent more likely to volunteer regularly • 90 percent are interested in becoming a mentor • 130 percent more likely to hold leadership positions Yet one in three young people will grow up without a mentor, missing out on this critical asset. At Girls Inc., our mentors build lasting, trusting relationships and create safe spaces for girls to take risks and push themselves. Our mentors are there to support girls every step of the way, helping to provide them with the skills and knowledge they need to counter obstacles and achieve their goals. Girls Inc. member Maria of Carpinteria is just one example of a young girl whose life was changed because she had people in her corner that believed in her, listened to her and showed her all she could achieve. The following is her testimonial: “As the daughter of two Mexican immigrants, who never received a high school education, doing homework was hard since both my parents and I didn’t

College was a foreign concept to me. I never had an academic role model. When I turned in my application for Girls Inc. of Carpinteria’s Eureka! program, little did I know my whole future was going to change for the better. Eureka! to me is more than a program, but a family. Looking back at my life these past few years, I have to contribute all of my success to the Eureka! program and my mentors at Girls Inc. because without it, I wouldn’t be who I am today. I gained knowledge, confidence, friendships and experience, things that are necessary to become a successful person. I learned that college is not only an option for me but for anyone willing enough to sacrifice what they have for a better life. But most importantly, I learned that I don’t have to live in the same financial status my parents brought me up in because it doesn’t matter where you start but where you are willing to go.” – Maria We need more caring adults whose presence tells youth that we can achieve no matter the obstacles. As we celebrate National Mentoring Month, consider the difference you can make in the life of a young person.

Top students selected as Junior Carpinterian finalists By Lea Boyd

It means a great deal to become the Carpinterian of the Year, to be acknowledged by one’s community for a lifetime of good deeds. But it means even more, perhaps, to be named Junior Carpinterian of the Year, a role the comes not only with great honor and great expectations but also a prize purse that can make a great difference in a young person’s life. This year’s Junior Carpinterian will receive a $5,000 scholarship toward his or her next academic step, and both the runners up will receive a $1,500 check. The selection committee for this award has the very difficult job of whittling down a large pool of qualified applicants to just three and then deciding among this trio of future leaders which deserves the top honor. Pick up next week’s issue of CVN to find out who is this year’s Junior Carpinterian of the Year.

Juan Herndandez

A lengthy conversation with Juan Hernandez about his accomplishments and his goals reveals no evidence that the Carpinteria High School senior spoke only Spanish until kindergarten. He has no trace of an accent, and he articulates far better than the average native English speaking 17-year-old. Yet when Hernandez seeks help on his assignments from his Santa Barbara City College business classes or his Advanced Placement CHS classes, he has to come up with an alternative to asking mom and dad. “It was kind of arduous,” he said, of growing up without an academic support system. But in the end, he is grateful for the obstacle that forced him to leap higher. He had to advocate for himself, even when that meant leaving his comfort zone. “I knew I couldn’t stay silent and get my homework done,” he said. The self-motivated CHS senior has amassed an impressive number of accolades and leaves an impression on most

Jacques Jougla

Jacques Jougla isn’t waiting for adulthood to save the world. The Carpinteria High School senior got a taste of effecting change last spring when a bold act brought about recycling on his campus. He was leaving school late one afternoon and crossed paths with a pile of bottles and cans lying near the bike racks. His initial frustration in his fellow students was quickly chased by the realization that even if he picked up the recyclables, his only option for disposal was the garbage can nearby. Not usually one to buck authority, Jougla ventured outside his comfort zone, leaving the refuse in the doorway to the principal’s office with a note stating, “Please look into recycling.” The next week was spring break, and when he arrived on campus the following Monday, he found blue bins placed throughout. “I’m not sure Mr. Cornejo (CHS principal) would want that in the newspaper,” he told CVN.

adults he meets. Teacher Kate Guede, who had Hernandez in her Spanish and AVID classes for three years, called him a “really awesome kid.”

58th Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce Community Awards Banquet

“Growing Community Unity” Saturday, Jan. 23, 5:30 p.m. at Carpinteria Boys & Girls Club Awards: Carpinterian of the Year • Junior Carpinterian of the Year Small & Large Business of the Year • Service organization Merit Awards For tickets ($80): contact CVCC at 684-5479 or joyce@carpinteriachamber.org

Guede described Hernandez’s nature as uncommonly thoughtful, both academically and socially. Once, she said, the school had a new television mounted in her classroom, but the power cord failed to reach the closest electrical outlet. Students and teacher laughed about the mishap and then moved right along with their day without giving it another thought, but not Hernandez. He showed up the next day with an extension cord he’d purchased for the task. “He perceives a need and then he acts on it,” Guede said. When Hernandez goes to college next year—likely at one of his top school choices of U.C. Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Los Angeles and Berkeley—he’ll bring along an associates degree in international business from SBCC. He’s about to complete that degree thanks to countless hours spent on the bus between Carpinteria and the SB campus logged after full days of school at CHS.

And how he fits in time to play tennis, volunteer in area hospitals, participate in Junior State of America, serve as class president for the last three years and work—formerly as a busboy at Oaxaca Fresh and now at Robitaille’s Candies—is anyone’s guess. Hernandez credits an aunt in Mexico for instilling the importance of higher education in him. Throughout his life, he has spent months at a time traveling to Mexico to live in her home and soak up the high value she places on academics. And while he will represent the first generation in his family to attend college, he hopes that he won’t be the only member of that generation to seek a university degree. He has two younger brothers paying close attention to what he does. “It’s pressure,” he said. “I want to be a good influence on them.” He leads them by example and recognizes that his missteps may have a ripple effect.

Access to publicly preserved open space throughout his hometown fostered Jougla’s deep connection to the environment and his commitment to thinking globally and acting locally. He has volunteered for the last six years to restore native plants on the Carpinteria Bluffs and Salt Marsh and to protect local harbor seals with Seal Watch. Last year he launched the Students for a Sustainable Future club, which recently collected 300 signatures requesting the school board consider dedicating Measure U funds to solar panel installation. Jougla’s pride in Carpinteria’s progressive approach to the environment followed him onto a research vessel journeying from Texas to the Cayman Islands a few summers ago. He was chosen for the prestigious honor of being an Argonaut with the Jason Project, a program that promotes youth involvement in the sciences. Among a bunch

of high-achieving, like-minded teens from all over the nation, Jougla proudly described the feats of little Carpinteria, a place progressive enough to have banned

plastic bags and smoking to do its part for the environment. Now he’s ready to arm himself with a university degree in ecology and evolutionary biology and launch a career in research or environmental management. His applications are in to several U.C. schools, and he hopes to hear back in the positive from top choices Berkeley, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara and San Diego. His resume isn’t exclusively focused on the environment either. He plays the saxophone and is a drum major in the CHS band, and his extracurriculars also include musical theater, Junior States of America and varsity tennis. His AP biology teacher, Robert Lindsay, said that Jougla’s passion is backed with brains and perseverance. “Jacques one of the most capable, selfdirected students with whom I’ve worked in 31 years,” Lindsay said. “And he’s a heck of a nice guy with a tremendously well developed social conscience.”

an editor position and being selected as one of three senior editors this year. She wanted to improve the publication’s editorial and bring it into the 21st century by introducing a web version. To do so, she wrote and submitted a full proposal, complete with budget. She researched web elements—everything from font style to function. She developed a writer’s handbook with a style guide to increase consistency, and she implemented a new four-week writing and editing system that is staggered to ensure a steady supply of weekly, high-caliber news fed to the website. Born and raised in Carpinteria, Limón attended Carpinteria Unified School District through the eighth-grade. When she started as a freshman at Cate, she initially struggled with letting go of a routine that revolved around Carpinteria friends and the downtown Carpinteria scene. Life on the mesa swept her up though, and soon enough she realized that being a Cate student didn’t diminish her connection to

her community. If anything, it heightened her awareness of how lucky she is to be a Carpinterian, she said. “If there’s one thing that makes me truly eligible for Junior Carpinterian of the Year, it’s that I love Carpinteria with every fiber of my being,” Limón said. The Junior Carpinterian of the Year selection committee might feel differently. They likely noted that Limón is eligible for an array of reasons, soaring grades, precocious interview skills, myriad community service experiences, participation in Model United Nations and Junior States of America, a dedication to dance since age 3 and years committed to playing violin in the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony. Yale noticed Limón. The Ivy League school offered her early admission, but Limón is waiting to see what kind of financial aid package her other top choices might offer before deciding where she’ll attend college next year. She’s not sure what she wants to

study—maybe political science, history or journalism. But she’s quick to point out it’s a surplus, not a shortage, of keen interests that makes it impossible to set a precise course just yet.

Gabi Limón Gabi Limón is a very bright teen, but bright teens fill many of the seats at Cate School. What makes Limón remarkable, said her teacher Anna Fortner, is a genuine passion for her pursuits and an initiative to take action. “If she wants to do something, she’s going to do it and the results are going to be impressive,” said Fortner. What Fortner has witnessed Limón do over the last year is revolutionize the student newspaper, El Batidor. Printed every couple months and virtually unchanged for the last several decades, the newspaper needed new life breathed into it, and Limón stepped up and aimed her full lung capacity at the project. This Friday, the first ever online version of El Batidor will launch for Cate students and staff, complete with high quality content updated weekly. “I can’t even begin to describe to you how impressive the results have been,” Fortner said. Limón rose through the ranks at El Batidor, starting as a writer, moving into

in our own heads, getting motivated can be tough. Staying motivated can be even tougher. Here are some strategies I’ve gathered that may help you or the children in your life get motivated to try something new or begin a project. Look a little deeper at the root of the resistance to doing that thing you know is a good thing. Ask yourself or your child, “What are you thinking and feeling about this?” You may learn something that will help, and hopefully your or your child’s awareness of what’s going on inside will grow. Even if your child doesn’t share much, you’ve shown you care and want to understand her perspective. A choice among good alternatives can really help. Looking to exercise more? Would you prefer to play soccer or ice skate? A parent might say to a child, “Swimming is not your favorite activity, but learning to swim is a safety issue. Would you rather take lessons on Saturdays or after school? Once you reach the dolphin level you may choose whether to continue taking lessons.” That light at the end of the tunnel might help too. Teach your child to have motivational talks with himself. For example, “I am going to get motivated to do this. I will not make it harder for myself by dragging it out or doing such poor work that it has to be redone. I will get this done right now!” It may help to hear an adult acknowledge that part of life is muscling your way through things you don’t want to do. Plus, when you learn about what you don’t like, it can help you identify what you do like and want to pursue. Estimate how long the task should take if you are focused—kids should do the estimating if it’s their task. Have a low-stakes competition with yourself to see if you can complete the task well that amount of time. Plan a small reward, perhaps a bike ride or a chance to play the music really loud, for meeting the challenge even if it takes longer than predicted. Having trouble concentrating? Identify what the distraction is and pretend to put it in a box. Mentally put the box under a chair or a bed. Consciously leave it there—you can get it back when you finish this job. Break a big task into smaller jobs. Make a list of the smaller tasks and mark them off as you go. You can draw a box beside each task and check it when you finish, or you can be more creative and draw a face that needs a smile or a carrot that needs a leafy top. If you’re having trouble staying motivated for a project that will take a lot of time, try working on it for 15 minutes a day. Once you’re into the project for 15 minutes, you’ll usually be motivated to continue. But if not, you’ve met the 15-minute goal, accomplished a little, and your mind may work on it subconsciously until the next day. We can do it, and we know we will feel better once we have! Best of luck with your resolutions, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share and learn with you in 2016.

Saturday, February 20 “Chocolate Cake” by Pamela Hill Enticknap

IBC exhibits Enticknap

Pamela Hill Enticknap captures people in their element in her series “Museum Café,” which will hang at Island Brewing Company, 5049 6th Street, through March 7. The paintings are based on her on-seen sketches of an elderly lady, a teenage boy and a young couple at a Museum Café. Enticknap said, she is “intrigued by the fact that by changing the characters’ relationship to each other, (she could) change the meaning of the painting.” Known for her ﬁgurative works, Enticknap’s paintings highlight fundamental human connections, “particularly incidental connections that bind us together,” she stated. According to Enticknap’s artist bio: “I was born in Concord, Massachusetts where the Revolution began and Henry David Thoreau decided to take to the woods and not pay his taxes in protest. I married, left Concord, raised a son, studied art at Rutgers University and now pay taxes in California where I paint the America I experience.”

Warriors edge Rams

CHS girls soccer takes Frontier League match 1-0 BY ALONZO OROZCO

Carpinteria High School girls soccer struck first and Cate School never netted the equalizer in a 1-0 Warrior win on the Cate Mesa on Jan. 14. The game’s only goal came when Carpinteria’s Emmelly Santillan, flanked on the sideline, pushed the ball through the middle to Alejandra Alvarez, who blasted the ball into the net. “It was a great goal. This team has promise and shows it here and there,” said Warrior coach Charles Bryant. “If we can start to sustain it, we will do well the rest of the way.” The Warriors improved to 2-6-2 overall and 1-3-1 in Frontier League. Even with the setback, Cate suffered only its second loss of the season and is still in the hunt for a playoff spot at 4-2-1 overall and 2-2 in league. The Rams certainly had their chances, particularly in the first half. Cate strikers spent a great deal of time in the area, but were unable to find the net, peppering the Warrior goal with shots that carried both left and right of the mark. Around the 32nd minute, the Rams’ Isabela Montes De Oca found teammate Hannah Bowlin open in the box, but Bowlin’s low, hard attempt was pushed off the line on a diving save by Carpinteria goalkeeper Laura Valdez. “We didn’t take advantage of those opportunities (to score) … I thought we should and we would score. We have in the past, but we didn’t today,” said Cate coach Lisa Holmes of her squad’s play. The Warriors also had their chances to put the game out of reach. Near the 66:30 mark, Carpinteria forward Jenny Alaniz rocketed a shot that went just wide right of Ram keeper Emily Liberman, who also played well, keeping her team in the game until the end. “I give Cate a lot of credit as they were, for lack of a better word, a feisty team,” said Bryant. Alaniz, back for her second game after four weeks out with a knee injury, entered the contest a little more than midway through the first half and provided some spark, particularly in the second half when the Warriors ramped up the pressure at the Cate end of the field. However, Alaniz would come out

It’s deﬁnitely going to bruise, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be ﬁne,” said the sophomore. “We played a lot of kickball, but I think we played pretty well,” added Alaniz. With Frontier League play still in its early stages, it could be a battle of attrition as far as which teams will qualify for the playoffs. Carpinteria hosts Santa Clara on Friday, Jan. 22 at 5 p.m. and then goes on the road to take on Foothill Tech in a Saturday, Jan. 23 afternoon match at 2:15 p.m. Cate will also play away against Foothill Tech on Jan. 22 with the kickoff at 4:45 p.m. CATE SCHOOL PHOTOS

Two former Cate School soccer players, Joshua Yaro and Ema Boateng, will soon begin Major League Soccer careers. Boateng, who graduated from Cate in 2012 and spent a season at UCSB before joining a Swedish professional team, signed with Los Angeles Galaxy last week. While at Cate, Boateng led the squad to two CIF Championships and earned Gatorade National Player of the Year. Yaro was selected second overall in last week’s MLS draft by Philadelphia Union. He graduated from Cate in 2013 before attending Georgetown University for three years. Yaro was All-CIF at Cate School and was also part of the school’s two CIF Championship squads. The athletic defender was an NCAA All-American for the Hoyas. He is expected to earn his degree in his three years at Georgetown. Both Boateng and Yaro were born in Ghana, Africa. Their soccer and academic careers were aided by admission to The Right to Dream Academy, an organization that selected Ghanaian children for enrollment and eventual placement in Western schools. Both excelled at Cate School after being accepted through the program.

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California goal for the shutout. “After a lack of offensive presence in the previous three preseason games we came out today and combined for 28 total shots that gave way to the 2-0 victory. Moving forward in league we will continue to attack offensively without taking our eye off our defense,” said Carpinteria coach Leo Quintero.

Carpinteria High School

Jan. 12 - The Carpinteria High School girls soccer team dropped a 1-0 decision to Fillmore in a Frontier League game. “As strong as we played three days ago, we looked the opposite today,” said Warrior coach Charles Bryant. “We just looked very out of sync for the majority of the game,” added Bryant. The Flashes goal came on a harmless ball that got behind the defense around midﬁeld, and the shot from a poor angle sailed over the keeper’s head with about seven minutes to go in the game. Carpinteria is now 1-6-2 overall and 0-3-1 in the Frontier League.

Foothill’s aggressive counter attack combined with nine costly ejections produced all 14 goals for the Dragons, who pulled away decisively after halftime.

Two starters, Michael Garibay and Montgomery got into early foul trouble in the ﬁrst quarter. The bench was highly effective in keeping up the pace, most notably Malcolm Gordon, Terrell Richardson, Aaron Vargas and Jacob Garside. “Their energy and effort helped us build on the lead, and I was very pleased with their performances,” said Carpinteria coach Johnny Ward. The Warrior record stands at 12-6 overall, 1-2 in the Tri-Valley League.

Now we are looking to turn a corner and get these close games to become wins in our column.”

Seahorse found on Carpinteria beach Susan Bornhurst got a big surprise a couple weeks ago when a sunset beach walk ended in a seahorse rescue. The Carpinteria woman found a 6-inch seahorse, an animal not typically found north of San Diego, entangled in kelp on the beach between Ash Avenue and Carpinteria Point on the evening of Jan. 4. “I saw something that just didn’t belong,” she said of what drew her attention to the small animal well camouﬂaged in the kelp. The animal was still alive so Bornhurst took it home and contacted the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network. Carla Mager, Bornhurst’s neighbor, jumped into the effort to save the small creature

by heading down to beach with her kids and ﬁlling a bucket with seawater for the animal. Wildlife Care Network picked up the seahorse, fed it and allowed it to recuperate overnight before releasing the animal at Point Mugu the next day. Biologists told Bornhurst that another seahorse was recently found dead in the Santa Barbara Harbor. Theses animals are among several anomalous species to have appeared in the Santa Barbara Channel in the last year. A dead sea turtle washed up in Carpinteria last summer, and venomous sea snakes were found in Oxnard in October. El Niño’s warmer sea temperatures are believed to be the cause of the strange appearances.

Wee baby Torrey Pine

the Wardholme torrey Pine, crown jewel of Carpinteria botany, was just a young lad when this photo was shot around 1925. Planted in 1888 by then property owner Judge W. thomas Wardholme, the massive tree is one of very few specimens that exists outside of san Diego and santa rosa island. Carpinteria’s famous pine was brought across the channel from santa rosa as a seedling and planted in its current home. it grew to a greater height and width than its relatives to the south and west thanks to rich CArPiNteriA VAlley MuSeuM of HiStory soil and protection As the nation gears up for March Madness (starting March 19), CVN from buffeting ocean thought it would be appropriate to stoke the fire of excitement with an winds.

Newcomers, untidy neighbors and stiffed hairdressers Dear Donnie, My daughter convinced me to move to Carpinteria from Kansas after my husband died. She felt that I shouldn’t live alone. I had so many friends back home that I am lonely here. She works, has a family and I don’t want to be a burden to her. What shall I do? SigneD, LoneLy

life, love and manners DONNIE NAIR

borhood have covered their dead lawn with plastic sheeting and walk-on bark. It looks great. Others have replaced lawn with succulents and drought-tolerant plants. Some people have large areas with scattered plants and with just a little rain, the weeds will grow. It is almost impossible to bring it up if they feel no sense of neighborhood pride. As a last resort you could even offer to pull their weeds. Personally I’d never go that far. Try the friendly chat first. Good luck.

Dear LoneLy, I know that it is harder to start all over in a new place, but for your own wellbeing you are going to have to get involved with others with similar interests. Do you knit, play bridge or are you interested in a church group or a book club? Carpinteria has many volunteer opportunities such as the Friends of the Library Used Book Store, Help, Carpinteria Beautiful, the Host Program or our Arts Center. We also have many lonely seniors who would love a friendly visitor once in a while. It Dear Donnie, Our family barely got through all the is a lot of work to make new friends, but holiday gatherings because of the deep your effort will pay off.

Several in my neigh- few family members get together and cre-

ate some ground rules. Our family has a tradition of playing board games. It’s lots of fun and includes all ages and avoids the prickly adult discussion. One thing to keep in mind is that the presidential election will be over next November so that by the time holidays come around again it will be a settled matter for better or worse. Another option is to skip the annual family gathering and plan a vacation by yourselves.

As far as no-shows, I think it is tricky. The person charged a penalty may choose to go elsewhere. But a couple of reminder phone calls should help forgetful clients. Explain to the person that your time is limited and a missed appointment costs you money. A thoughtful client will make it up to you in some way. Dear Donnie, A former employee has listed me as a reference. I cannot, in good conscience, give her a good reference. I have no real proof of her dishonesty but would never hire her again. She is very creative with the truth, habitually late and often surly. I’d like to warn her prospective employer, but I’m afraid of what she might do. SigneD, reLuctant reference

Dear Donnie, I am a local hairdresser and lately I have some longtime clients who are no-shows and others who never tip. I am really frustrated. How can I tactfully handle this? SigneD, StiffeD Dear StiffeD, First of all, tipping is a confusing custom to lots of us. Some people like to give a set amount, others abide by a certain percentage of the bill. Most professionals, such as chiropractors or physical therapists would never accept a tip, so should we tip professional massage therapists? Is it based on experience or training? It is supposed to be optional. I used to attend a salon in another city that had a no tipping policy. They charged a bit more than average, but customers loved the policy.

Have you ever tried to call the Social Security office or the Internal Revenue Service or any insurance company and attempted to speak with a real, live person that can answer a question or provide information or solve a problem? If so, then you are familiar with wallowing in the depths of frustration and fighting the urge to throw your phone across the room. Last year I received three Visa cash cards worth $100 each as a reward for spending money on one of many house projects. I promptly put the cards in a safe place expecting to use them for something special … and then forgot all about them. Time passed, the cards had an expiration date, and I didn’t even think to look at them until it was too late. But wait, it clearly said on the back, in fine print I had to read with a magnifying glass, that that money was still available. I just had to call customer service and pay a small fee to have new cards issued. So I proceeded to do just that. At first all I got was a recorded line that told me my cards had expired, thank you and goodbye. Calling back I ignored the recorded directions and just kept punching “0”—at least 15 or 20 times—until finally a real person came on the line. Yes, I could get new cards. Yes, the fee had to be paid on each card, and yes, I would get my new card in six to eight weeks and only lose about $25 per card in the process. Six weeks later, no cards had arrived. After another two weeks passed I picked up my phone and again went through the process of repeatedly jamming my finger down on “0.” The new customer service rep looked up my expired cards and said that they were still in process and should be sent out in seven days so don’t call back for at least another two weeks. Believe it or not, I did finally get one replacement card worth $225, which I quickly spent. What a racket! How many people never even call if they have an expired card? How many people give up trying to wade through the recorded phone information? And how many people forget after 10 weeks to make sure a new card comes in the mail? It seems apparent that these “reward cards” sound good but someone, somewhere is making a lot of money on cards that are never cashed in. I endured a similar level of frustration when I recently had to cancel a plane ticket to Europe because my friend and travel companion had to have an emergency operation three days before we were to leave. The airline was American and the process for getting any type of credit to use on another flight was as follows. First, of course, I had to call prior to departure

Does it really cost any airline $200 or $300 or $450 to make a ticket change?

and tell American I wouldn’t be flying and why. The customer service rep told me to make sure to keep my confirmation info as I would need my ticket number (written in small print) in order to book another flight at a later date and use my credit minus a change fee of $300. And I had to do this within one year of buying my first ticket. If I did not use all my credit on the second ticket, American would then send me a paper voucher showing what funds were remaining. Again, if I lost that voucher, I would be out of luck trying to use my credit, which was also only good for a year. At least I could recoup most of the cost of my ticket. I called American when I was ready to book another flight. We worked out all the details but now the change fee was to be $450. I was not happy. This service rep said she understood but couldn’t do anything about the fee. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Having been through similar adventures, I gave this supervisor the date and name of the person I initially talked with that told me the change fee was $300. So almost 45 minutes later, the supervisor decided to “only” charge me a $300 change fee to book another flight with money I had given this company months ago. Why can’t more businesses be like L.L. Bean? This company makes returns easy. Or Patagonia that has lifetime warranties on most of its products. My son actually exchanged a rain jacket he had used for over five years, and the people at Patagonia were very accommodating. And why can’t airlines adopt Southwest’s “no change fee” policy? Does it really cost any airline $200 or $300 or $450 to make a ticket change? But my greatest failure with customer service lately has been with Social Security. I made a double Medicare payment because I was to be traveling. The next month’s bill showed the amount of my payment but continued to charge me. I called Social Security and was on hold 45 minutes twice before I gave up and called Medicare. Medicare referred me back to Social Security. Finally a customer service rep spent 30 minutes deciding that she would send out the paper work to show me where my extra payment went. This will arrive in about 10 working days. I’m giving up on this one. Even though I’m retired, my time is worth more than the $12.30 extra I paid. Just consider it my donation toward reducing the national debt. Melinda Wittwer first moved to Carpinteria in 1972 and taught mostly junior high students in Oxnard during her 25-year career. Now retired, she enjoys pottery, writing, books and travel.
