The Carpinteria Triathlon ran, swam and biked under perfect conditions on Sunday, Sept. 23. A large pod of dolphins accompanied some of the swimmers at one point, and pleasant temperatures made the cycling and running portions of the event somewhat more bearable. Carpinterian Mike Wiltshire came ashore refreshed and ready to continue his campaign in the Men’s 35-39-year-old division, which he completed in sixth place with a time of 2:39:04.

Free flu shots will be available for Santa Barbara County adults on Friday, Sept. 29 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Santa Barbara Health Care Center, 345 Camino Del Remedio. “We are excited to offer this free opportunity for adults in our community regardless of insurance status. Yearly flu vaccination is the best tool currently available to protect against the flu,” said Paola Hurtado, the Santa Barbara Health Care Center Administrator. “Getting vaccinated also protects people around you, including those who are more vulnerable, like babies and young children, older people and people with certain chronic health conditions.”

In an effort to better understand how people get around the South Coast of Santa Barbara County, MTD will hold a series of Community Listening Sessions in October. A Carpinteria session will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 17 at 6 p.m. at Carpinteria City Hall, 5775 Carpinteria Ave. Members of the public are encouraged to share input on what they like, what they’d like to see change and to give general feedback on MTD’s services.

SMALL BUSINESS CELEBRATION WALK

On September 20th, Chamber Board Members, Ambassadors, and Civic Leaders gathered in Carpinteria and set out to visit 45 Downtown businesses. They delivered Carpinteria Cookies and conducted interviews at each business. The survey consisted of three general questions: 1. How’s Business? 2. What do you like most about doing business in Downtown Carpinteria? 3. How could business conditions be improved?

SUMMARY RESULTS The SmALL Business Celebration Walk concluded that 80% of the businesses surveyed were doing Excellent or Good while less than 1% reported doing Fair, showing business in downtown Carpinteria is stable. Overwhelmingly, they reported that they like their sunny location and the proximity to both the beach and the State Park. They spoke positively about the friendly community atmosphere, loved getting to know their customers, and were thankful for the repeat business from loyal customers. Most businesses enjoyed the tourists and the special vibe of the small town scene. They did, however, want improved parking in the downtown area and help with addressing the homelessness issue. Many businesses stated better communication about downtown happenings (i.e. special events, sidewalk repair) and that additional trash cans would be helpful. A comprehensive report will be issued following an additional Chamber SmALL Business Walk later this year. A heartfelt thank you to the businesses that took the time to speak with us and the volunteers that joined us on the inaugural SmALL Business Celebration Walk. With the holiday season quickly approaching, be sure to support our SmALL businesses and SHOP LOCAL!

Avo queen: Marnie Lelande crowned honorary chair of Avofest By Lea Boyd

Boyd

Marnie Lelande walks a few feet from her patio to show CVN some of next year’s crop.

Marnie Lelande’s blood runs avocado green. The third-generation avocado rancher jumped into the business over a half century ago as a kid who spent her summer picking the fruit alongside her sisters. Now the “pretty retired” avocado queen adds second-generation California Avocado Festival Honorary Chair to her professional resume. “It’ll be fun. I feel special,” Lelande said of the honor. She attends the festival every year, though it’s not for the avocado ice cream or funnel cakes. “I love the music,” she said. This year, she’ll have to leave the dance floor occasionally to perform her honorary chair duties, such as kicking off the festival on Friday

oct. 6 with the traditional balancing of an avocado on the nose of the seal fountain. Lelande’s roots in California agriculture run deep. Her family came west from ohio during the Gold Rush and landed on a ranch in Goleta. Her grandparents, Fred and dorothy McCloskey, bought property on Casitas Pass Road in the 1920s and joined a small handful of local farmers experimenting with avocado varieties. Hass—as just about every Carpinteria resident knows—beat out the competition thanks to its oily flesh and its thick skin that protects it during shipping. McCloskey Ranch, which occupies 31 acres of Carpinteria Valley, boasts sections of avocados planted between 50 and 80 years ago. Lelande has known many of those trees since they went into the ground. “I worked on this ranch all summer long, every summer since I was 10,” she said. She and her family members picked the fruit in an era when prices were static and picking was a multi-month process. Now, growers wait for the price to peak, then hire bigger crews to harvest the fruit before the price drops. As a teen, Lelande discovered the benefit of having access to an abundance of avocados. “As soon as I got my driver’s license, I learned that money does grow on trees,” she said. She and her sister would round up whatever avocados they could find and peddle them to the Mexican restaurants in town for pocket money. Lelande’s connection to the avocado’s earliest days in the valley and her commitment to continuing that legacy made her a natural choice for this year’s honorary chair, said Avofest Boardmember Emily Miles. “She also has a genuine love of the festival so this will be an extra special year for her as an ambassador for avocados and the festival,” Miles added. If the avocado’s reign continues in Carpinteria, Avofest someday could see a third generation of McCloskey/Lelandes in the honorary chair position. McCloskey Ranch operates as a family. Lelande’s daughter works as the bookkeeper, and her 11- and 17-year-old grandkids often gather fruit to sell in a stand outside their house. Lelande’s sisters, nieces and nephews have all been involved in the business, and Lelande’s mother, doris McCloskey, who is now 88, presided over the festival as honorary chair in 2002. Though Lelande is less involved in ranch operations today than she used to be, she can’t escape the avocado altogether, nor would she want to. Her home is tucked into the orchard, shadowed by a canopy of nearly 50-year-old avocado trees. When she craves the family crop, she just saunters out the door and forages a bit. “I eat avocados every day,” she said. Her typical method of consumption is cut in half, drizzled with lemon and sprinkled with salt and Pico Limón for spice. She also loves avocado on top of sourdough bread that she bakes herself.

––Christine Culver

Bungalows, not boxes

There is an appeal in front of the City Council on Oct. 9 requesting a review of the approval of a design for a proposed single-family dwelling at 5157 8th Street. My concern with the design is compatibility with the neighborhood. The proposed design might fit well in Malibu, Venice, Redondo Beach, Faria Beach but would be a complete anomaly in our downtown area (unless you compare it to the Smart & Final building). The design does not fit with the guidelines in the current General Plan, which states “the form of buildings … should be compatible with adjacent and nearby properties” and “designs based on historic types should be encouraged to preserve … the unique character of the city.” The downtown area is informally referred to as the bungalow or cottage district. If you look at the proposed design, you will see that it is a rectangular structure with two-story almost-solid walls (narrow windows up high) on both sides. I understand the need for privacy. However, these imposing walls give the image of an industrial building. What about the aesthetics for the neighbors on both sides? Some say that the neighborhood is eclectic, but there are no single-family dwellings so dramatically out of character in this area. What will happen to our charming “bungalow district” if this plan goes through? Approval of this project will set the precedent for more of the same. I have read and heard comments from folks who have lived in other beach towns and who have said that once “Malibuization” (I don’t know what else to call it) starts, it doesn’t stop, and the character of the town is forever changed—not in a good way. The current General Plan has a vision and guidelines. Let’s follow it. I love Carpinteria. Keep Carpinteria small town!

Christine Culver Carpinteria

Keep the charm

Carpinteria’s special sense of place is an attraction for visitors and an important driver of our local economy. Maintaining that sense of place is a point of civic pride for residents. In 2004, the Carpinteria Valley Association published a booklet entitled “Carpinteria Bungalows and Distinctive Homes” to honor our built environment. Today, a condensed version of this publication is distributed to visitors by the City’s Host volunteers with encouragement to visit “The Core” of the Bungalow district starting on 8th Street east of Linden. Shocking then, that a boxy, mid-century modern design with a nearly-flat, butterfly roof was greenlighted for 8th

Street east of Linden—a street tourists are encouraged to visit to discover some of Carpinteria’s best historic homes! Further, the proposed development would be situated across the street from one of the City’s key historic landmarks, the Old Methodist Church (now Carpinteria Valley Baptist Church). In this location, the project is visually jarring and completely incongruent with the existing neighborhood. Carpinteria doesn’t have to look like this! An appeal of this precedent-setting decision is scheduled to be heard by the City Council on Oct. 9 at 5:30 p.m. If the project moves forward as is, it will eliminate the rationale upon which to base consistent development decisions. The result will be “anything goes” development. The General Plan calls for compatibility with the dominant neighborhood development pattern and preserving the small beach town character of the built environment. We count on our city leaders to uphold these guidelines and respect neighborhood compatibility. Don’t let iconic Downtown/Old Town Carpinteria become only a memory. Show up on Oct. 9 and tell our City Council members you want them to “Keep the Charm.”

A genuine surprise took place for John & Vera Welty on their 60th wedding anniversary on Sept 1st. They were driven to the Carpinteria Woman’s Club by Paul & Cheryl Wright, where family & friends waited patiently for their arrival. The surprise included family & friends from Washington DC, TX, UT & various parts of California. The celebration continued the next day as we celebrated John Welty’s birthday.

More on mobile homes

There are several potentially useful public benefits arising from the discussion of the polo field housing project. Discussion of traffic on Via Real is just one. Saturday, Sept. 23 was a good example. Traffic on 101 northbound was highly congested, and impatient northbound motorists were rapidly shunting through the residential neighborhood on Via Real. As usual, gaggles of weekend bicyclists were variously along the narrow roadway and well outside of the inadequate bike lane. I watched as an impatient speeding motorist crossed the double yellow line to pass several lengths of cars and evidently did not see a gaggle of bikers. I expected to see bikes flying in the air from the impact. Luckily, an alert motorist saw this coming and was able to pull over thus avoiding what would have become a multi-ambulance disaster. Will it take such a disaster to finally get the bureaucrats to deal with this stretch of road? Enhanced discussions of correcting problems from adding more traffic from additional residential units along this stretch of poorly signaled and designed roadway is going to be a big benefit that will have accrued to this project. It will make the bureaucrats finally think about what they are doing.

686 LINDEN AVENUE – DOWNTOWN CARPINTERIA

There are a couple apparent contradictions in the Sept. 21 “Upwardly Mobile” column about mobile homes (since 1992 properly called “manufactured homes”) that should be clarified for Coastal View News readers. First, even though it’s stated that there can be “steady appreciation of mobile homes over time,” it is also stated that banks “consider mobile homes to depreciate.” I find that many prospective buyers believe that the value of manufactured homes automatically depreciates. This is not so. Readers should keep in mind that the theoretical value of any physical asset can depreciate, but the market value of manufactured homes rises—and sometimes falls—just like any home, and at a similar pace. Second, although the column states that space rent typically includes property taxes, it also states that “mobile homes sold after July 1, 1980 were subject to property taxes.” This does not mean that all manufactured homes sold after that date pay property taxes. The word “sold” in this case refers to when a particular home was “first sold,” meaning, typically, the year it was built. So, in nearly all cases (there are rare exceptions), manufactured homes built before July 1, 1980 pay the minimal annual registration fee that was mentioned. And, by the way, the amount of property tax paid on homes located in parks where the land is rented is dramatically less than the tax paid by most owners of conventional homes on real property. From both a financial and quality-oflife perspective, buying a manufactured home can be an excellent move for any home buyer in coastal California.

Whistle Stop Café? Yes, please

I’d like to chime in as being generally friendly towards a new Whistle Stop Cafe, bed and breakfast, and what’s wrong with Disneyland anyway? So far, the concept seems a perfect fit for our Mayberry by the Sea. Twenty-six to 30 rooms? Intimate. Plus a patio deck restaurant with a partial ocean view? Nice. When we love what we have, resisting change can make sense, but Carpinteria is no longer a lima bean town or a dusty oil town. Island Brewing Company moved into the warehouse buildings. Were other breweries put out of business? No way. Now, we have three or four of them. I say, it’s about time we had an ocean view restaurant. Evolving is inevitable and I see Carpinteria moving along at a careful pace. I don’t want to see huge resort properties go up on our bluffs, but I would like to see more, dare I say, Disneyland in our downtown tee. Charming, imaginative, delightful, quirky, profitable, rather than closed storefronts. Being a lease of city land, guess what, we get way more steerage on the features of what our community wants. The Whistle Stop can serve dual purposes, the second being a showcase for green, sustainable enterprise practices in action. As things start, so they go. A fortuitous opportunity for the City to set a superior direction? Our little Whistle Stop Cafe B&B might just be the very thing to get the ball rolling, or keep it rolling in the right direction for Carpinteria.

Freshmen Warriors “get focused, stay focused”

CVN

SCHOOL NOTES

For the past 11 years, since Gerardo Cornejo became principal of Carpinteria High School in 2006, incoming freshmen students have been led through a process in which they ask themselves three crucial questions: Who am I? What do I want? How do I get it? The three questions represent the core of CHS’s “Get Focused, Stay Focused” program, adapted from curriculum developed by educators in the San Francisco Bay area. English teacher Erin Hansen led the program for its first six years, and “she made it her own,” Cornejo explained. Currently led by English teacher Amy Gil, “Get Focused, Stay Focused” utilizes junior- and senior-class students to help guide freshmen via the school’s LINK mentoring program. Freshmen entering CHS make personal budgets for living in this area, includ84-4428 ing cost of living calculations for rent or mortgage payments, car payments and Thursday, August 31, 2017  7 other necessities. When the young students realize how much it costs to live in Santa Barbara County, Cornejo said “they begin to appreciate how difficult it is to live here, and to appreciate what their parents go through to live here.” Through “Get Focused, Stay Focused,” students develop a 10-year plan to achieve the career position that will enable the realization of the goals they set for themselves in asking the initial three questions. Follow-up modules in 10th, 11th and 12th grade help students stay on track, and the results speak for themFrom left, volunteer FFA instructor Audrey Lent and FFA officers Sentinel in 1 the 11 years that the program has been in effect at CHS, the rate of ued fromselves: page Max Brown, President Lizette Hernandez, Carp-a-cabana Honored Chair students who meet the “A-G” academic requirements for entry to U.C.

Obituary

Jane Prickett Luthard 1/31/1933 – 8/3/2017

Jane Prickett Luthard, 84 years young, died peacefully at home on Aug. 3, 2017. She was born the only daughter and pride-and-joy of Oliver and Margaret Prickett in Santa Barbara, Calif. Growing up in Pasadena, she spent her youth displaying her charm and blond curls under the adoring eyes of her parents. She spent many summers at her parents’ seaside ranch house in Carpinteria, a love that lasted a lifetime. She attended the University of Arizona in Tucson, where she learned how to “Bear Down” when times were tough. She was a Wildcat for life. She was president of Chi Omega sorority, making lifelong friends among her Zeta Beta sisters. After college, she worked at the impressive Barker Brothers high-rise office in downtown Los Angeles, making many more lasting connections. Then, on a weekend ski trip with a girlfriend, she met Karl Luthard. He was Swiss and unlike all the Southern California boys. The two were married on June 10, 1961. Together, they raised two sons, living in Switzerland before settling down in Los Altos, Calif. Karl worked as an engineer, and she cared for the boys. They spent many weekends in Lake Tahoe and vacations in Carpinteria, Pasadena and Switzerland. Summers were spent watching the boys grow just like the pine trees surrounding the house, baking bread, and playing tennis with her friends. Once the boys were in high

school, she worked in the Foothill College Library and Learning center, helping other kids grow and learn. She went back to school and got her degree in Library Sciences, but her husband and her kids remained her focus and love. When the kids were on their own, empty nesters Jane and Karl moved to Auburn, enjoying the mountain air and free time. Eventually, they moved to San Jose to be close to grandkids and friends. After Karl passed, Jane moved to San Diego to be close to her other grandkids. She lived in Seacrest Village in Poway, where she was voted Miss Popular and was involved in community activities. Her years there were filled with many kid sports games, plays, band concerts and more. Her last few years were highlighted by a granddaughter’s graduation from U.C. San Diego and the other grandkids’ graduation from middle school. Her happiest moments of her senior life were those spent with family and friends, holidays around the fireplace in Lake Tahoe, Thanksgiving dinners in Carpinteria, and watching grandkids open presents on Christmas morning. She was happiest with the warm morning sun on her face, a hot cup of coffee and cookies, chips and salsa with a Corona beer, a juicy cheeseburger at The Spot, and Roger Federer and tennis on her television. She loved every minute of it. According to her wishes, no services will be held. Donations in her honor can be made to the University of Arizona, Chi Omega sorority, the San Jose Woman’s Club or the Plaza Playhouse Theater Carpinteria.

Tree time: council modifies park, removes eucalyptus By LEa BoyD

Remove the targets below or remove the risky trees above? The Carpinteria City Council at its Sept. 25 meeting decided to do some of both at Heath Ranch Park, where 125-plus-year-old, 80-plusfoot-tall eucalyptus trees tower dangerously over a children’s play structure, turf and several homes. The council voted unanimously in favor of cutting down the least healthy of the five-remaining blue gum eucalyptuses, while the other trees get critical analysis and management before being eventually phased out and replaced with native trees like oaks and sycamores. The council considered moving the park’s play structure for an estimated $175,000 but opted to eliminate it altogether in order to retain the open grassy area used for playing and dog walking. Fencing around the base of each tree will help to keep the public from the highest-risk areas for falling limbs. Limbs regularly drop at the park, and Parks and Recreation Director Matt Roberts showed photos of a recently broken 12-inch branch dangling 80 feet high. In 2002, one of the historic trees toppled. It didn’t cause any major damage, but it heightened concern among some neighbors and at the city. Nearby resident Jack Dotts said of the 2002 incident, “It fell toward the house. It was loud. And it was scary as hell.” But many surrounding homeowners have fought to preserve the trees. They note that the massive eucalyptuses are integral to the neighborhood’s character, provide habitat for birds and have historic significance. “Please do everything you can to save these trees for as long as possible,” former councilman and nearby resident Greg Gandrud beseeched the city council. The city has debated for years over what to do about Heath Ranch Park’s well-loved and widely feared trees. They are part of the park’s historic landmark, the centerpiece of which is an adobe structure once incorporated into the grand home of Russell Heath, one of the valley’s early agricultural giants. Heath grew walnuts on hundreds of surrounding acres and planted the eucalyptuses around 1870 along the carriageway leading to his house. “We can’t really win on this one,” said Councilman Gregg Carty. “Liability wise we should cut them all down.” He and Councilman Brad Stein argued on the side of safety, with Stein noting that it would intolerable if an injury or death occurred because the city had failed to remove the danger. The city’s liability is high, reported legal counsel Jessica Dios, because the trees have been documented by arborists as potentially dangerous. Councilman Al Clark argued for preserving the trees. “If we remove the targets then we remove a lot of the risks,” he said. Later in the meeting, Clark and Stein debated how much risk the city should assume, and Clark said, “We’re accepting some risk because we like these

trees and the neighbors like these trees.” Mayor Fred Shaw pointed out that he had visited the park that morning and examining the tree documented as the least healthy of the bunch. “I was standing underneath it today and looking up and worrying about it the whole time,” he said. Vice Mayor Wade Nomura owns a landscaping company and brought his decades of plant knowledge to the discussion. He advised the arborists to conduct several tests that would help to better analyze the health of the trees. The tree management plan developed by arborist Kenneth Knight involves significant pruning and evaluation over the next five years. Councilmembers agreed that the tree closest to the existing playground should be preserved. Described by Knight as “likely to continue to live for decades,” that tree is considered the healthiest and least risky.

Community Garden preps for opening

As the construction on the new Carpinteria Garden Park wraps up under the public eye, the behind-the-scenes preparation is also nearly complete. At its Sept. 25 meeting, the Carpinteria City Council approved rules and regulations for the new garden, located at 4855 5th Street, and heard from newly hired garden manager Alena Steen. Starring in the organic garden are the 100 garden plots available for rental to Carpinteria residents. The 5- by 10-foot garden plots will cost $60 per six-month period, and rent will include the soil bed and water. A shared tool shed will be available, also. Renters will be required to volunteer four hours each six months. A lottery will be held if more than 100 residents apply for a plot, and priority will be granted to applicants who live within 1,000 feet of the garden and who lack a space of their own to garden. Steen said that in addition to managing members, her position entails coordinating educational opportunities. “I’m really excited to bring a lot of hands-on, how-to classes to the garden,” she said. Classes in gardening, sustainability, composting, cooking, ecology and ethnobotany will be offered to the public as well as garden members. The garden’s design includes several elements conducive to garden education, including a commercial kitchen, bioswale, native plant areas, shaded seating sections and composting facilities. Fencing surrounds the garden, and members will access their plots through a locked gate with a code. Steen’s office will be onsite, and she plans to have the gates open to the public during her part-time work schedule. To find out more or receive an application for the garden, contact Steen at alenas@ci.carpinteria.ca.us.

Artists Suzanne Lacy and Pablo Helguera come to Santa Barbara as part of the Getty-sponsored exhibition “Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA.”

Five-year volunteers were honored with a print by Meredith Brooks Abbott.

Art Center honors volunteers

“Volunteers like you are what make Carpinteria on its way to becoming one of the best small-town art communities in the nation!” exclaimed Board Chair David Powdrell as he addressed Carpinteria Art Center supporters on Sunday, Sept. 23. Nearly 100 Carpinterians who volunteer with the Carpinteria Arts Center attended the celebration in their honor. The afternoon of merriment included live music from Cate School student musicians Will Anderson and Maisie Oswald. Volunteers who reached the five-year mark were recognized and given a Meredith Brooks Abbott print, and volunteers with more than 10 years of service were honored with personalized aprons. Some volunteers on hand have been giving their time for over 20 years.

“Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA” is a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles. Supported by grants from the Getty Foundation, “Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA” takes place through January 2018 at more than 70 cultural institutions across Southern California. Beginning Sept. 27 and continuing through Dec. 8 as part of “Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA,” two projects by Suzanne Lacy and Pablo Helguera will show in Santa Barbara at the Art, Design and Architecture Museum at UCSB. “The Schoolhouse and the Bus: Mobility, Pedagogy, and Engagement” highlights a touchstone work by each of the artists (with anthropologist Pilar Riaño‐Alcalá in collaboration with Lacy), executed in the Americas but never shown in their entirety in the US. Comprising installation, collage, sculpture, ephemera, photography, video, as well as archival documentation, this exhibition will serve to highlight overlapping themes in their works which include immigration, pedagogy, race, violence, memory and social organizing. Both Lacy and Helguera work in a form called “Social Practice,” which is also known as “Socially‐Engaged Art, Public Practice, and New Genre Public Art” (a phrase coined by Lacy). Based on audience participation, societal and political concerns are frequently addressed in Social Practice works, and overarching goals include empowerment or change in a community. A series of Santa Barbara events are also part of “Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA”, including artist-led discussions, a documentary film screening and an artist-guided exhibition tour. Film tickets are free but required, and available beginning Thursday, Oct. 19, at 11 a.m. at carseywolf.ucsb.edu.

TED Talk presenter talks live at Morning Rotary

Roger Breisch has spent over 3,000 hours responding to suicide prevention hot line calls. He recently shared his experiences and wisdom at Morning Rotary. Breisch said that, “People considering suicide feel disconnected and that they do not matter. This is a global epidemic, especially with teenagers.” He stated that this issue is exacerbated among isolated youth who live in an internet world with newsfeeds that can spread tragedies within 30 seconds of the incident happening. His final message was, “stay connected with youth.” The national hotline for suicide prevention is (800) 273-8255. A person will also get an immediate response by texting 741741.

The Forum offered over 50 specific training sessions related to developing quality Lions Clubs, and thousands of Lions Leaders share their experiences. “Attending this leadership Forum was very beneficial. We were able to meet with various district governors, fellow Lions from different states and countries, and we took away some very good suggestions for our club,” reported Freeman.

Joining the club within the club nationwide studies have shown that a child who attends a Boys & Girls club 105 days in the same calendar year is twice as likely to graduate high school on time and twice as likely to lead a healthy lifestyle, Santa Barbara County United Boys & Girls Clubs CEo Michael Baker reported. In response to the study, the Boys & Girls Club created a program called Club 105, which celebrates the members who reach those 105 days of attendance. When a child joins the Boys & Girls Club, he or she is given a membership card. When a club member accumulates 52 days of attendance, halfway to the 105-day goal, he or she receives a Silver Card in a ceremony, which entitles the member to special privileges in the clubs. When the club member reaches 105 days, he or she participates in a Gold Card ceremony, attended by dignitaries and parents. on Sept. 22, Carpinteria Boys & Girls club members were honored in a Gold Card ceremony attended by Carpinteria Mayor Fred Shaw and CUSD Superintendent Diana rigby.

New mural goes up, readies for dedication

Carpinteria’s new 40-foot long mural, “The Carpinteria Valley: A Growing Heritage,” now delivers its two-dimensional fruit and flower harvest to thousands of Carpinteria Avenue pedestrians, cyclists and drivers each day. Artist John Wullbrandt spent the last few months painting away in his studio in preparation for last weekend’s installation at the mural’s permanent home, 4960 Carpinteria Ave., next to Bank of America. The 8-foot tall mural pays homage to the rich history of agriculture and floriculture that has been the economic engine of the Carpinteria Valley for well over a century. Painted in the studio on 10 separate panels, the mural was then mounted on a wall of the building owned by local businesswoman Marta Marquez. Its location, near the intersection of Linden and Carpinteria avenues, puts it right at the epicenter of Carpinteria’s downtown commercial district. “Like John’s ‘World’s Safest Beach’ mural on Wullbrandt Way, his newest work of art brings local history into focus as it enhances the pedestrian experience in our downtown,” said Donna Jordan, of Carpinteria Beautiful, the local nonprofit that commissioned the new piece. Donations from many individuals and businesses involved in agriculture supported the project. John Wullbrandt is a fifth-generation Carpinterian, so he is well versed in local

history as well as skilled in fine art. His career, spent traveling the world painting commissions and showing his work in numerous galleries, has given him an international reputation. returning home 15 years ago, he continues to be sought after by local collectors. The mural’s historical theme is reflected in the words that appear on the bronze plaque mounted on the wall next to it: “For well over a century, due to the unique growing conditions that exist in the Carpinteria Valley, local growers have been successful in producing a wide variety of crops. The lima bean was the first commercial crop to put Carpinteria on the map. Then walnuts became a successful commercial product. It was the lemon, though, that gave Carpinteria a national agricultural identity. Eventually, the lemon gave up its crown to the avocado and to the flower nurseries that emerged in the valley about 50 years ago. Carpinteria flowers have been successfully marketed throughout the United States and Canada and annually appear on Tournament of Roses Parade floats. Local avocados are enjoyed throughout the West Coast and are celebrated here each october at the California Avocado Festival.” Carpinteria will celebrate the newest addition to its public art-scape at a dedication ceremony on Sunday, oct. 1 at 3 p.m. at the mural site.

Girls Inc. adds glamor to fundraising Photos by Joshua Curry

Carpinterians tend to be casual folks, but once a year Girls Inc. gives the community a chance to add a little polish and pizzazz to their social schedule. Evening in Bloom, on Sept. 23, found hundreds of supporters of local girls dressed in their finest for a night of elegant food, dancing and fundraising. This year’s event honored Terry Hickey Banks, whose 21-year tenure on the school board ended last year and who has a long legacy of support for Girls Inc.

If we can play with this mystical vision, we might realize we hit jackpot when Jana Gonzalez chose to heed that call and make Carpinteria her home, too. The year was 2010. “I made a wrong turn off the 101, and I needed coffee. The girl in the coffee shop I found told me where I was. I said, Carp-in-ter-what?” Gonzalez laughed, remembering her first encounter with Carpinteria. Gonzalez had realized that her snowboarding days were numbered, and the snow of Tahoe had become a chore. So she and her then-husband Joaquin (who now owns Gonzo Cycles) piled their two sons into a beat-up RV and set about the mission of finding a new home in a beach town somewhere between San Diego and San Francisco. Coffee in hand, Jana turned onto Linden Avenue, and tears began to stream down her cheeks—she knew this was the place. She felt drawn to the space at 915 Linden Ave. She parked and meditated.

Jana was already a veteran of the restaurant business. She’d opened her first restaurant in Tahoe at the age of 22. “My mother modeled family and independence for me,” Jana smiled wistfully, remembering what she described as “magical people” in her youth that guided and taught her how to not just run a business, but demonstrate generosity of spirit. In the past six years Jana has managed to create an environment that blends her worldly sensibilities, big heart and adventurous spirit. Jana’s roots combine Russian and Chilean ancestry.
