briefly Haggen closes 21 stores, not Carpinteria
Haggen announced last week that it will close 21 of its locations over the next couple months, but the Carpinteria store will be spared. Most of the stores targeted are among the 146 acquired earlier this year in a divestment spurred by the purchase of Safeway by Albertsons. The Washington-based company plans to sell five Arizona stores and 16 California stores. A release from the company stated that additional unnamed stores will be sold or closed in the future as part of a streamlining process to strengthen its competitive position. The beleaguered chain has struggled to gain a foothold in the market.

Borrellos bring back Tony’s style dining Mike and Lucy Borrello know that Carpinterians are hankering for Tony’s cheeseburgers and banana cream pie. With that in mind, the couple is working hard to open the doors to its new restaurant, Borrello’s Pizza & Pastaria, at 3807 Santa Claus Lane. “It’s exciting. We can’t wait to open and do what we love,” said Mike. What they loved doing was managing Tony’s on Linden Avenue for nearly 30 years. They plan to bring a similar recipe to their new endeavor. Mike will work the kitchen while Lucy runs the front of the house. And the menu will have a familiar feel too. Customers can expect pizzas, calzones, burgers, sub sandwiches, pastas, salads and appetizers, all with the same family-style Italian flavor that they loved at Tony’s. Tony’s was opened in 1962 by Mike’s parents, Antoinette and Anthony Borrello. After Antoinette’s passing in 2013, the business was run by various family members. It closed earlier this summer, and the family-owned building on the
James Kallas was arrested by California Highway Patrol officers on the morning of Aug. 13 after a spike strip was used to stop his southbound vehicle near Padaro Lane on Highway 101. According to a release from the CHP, at about 9:20 a.m. a witness reported seeing a car driving at erratic speeds, swerving all over the roadways and cutting off other vehicles on the 101 southbound north of El Capitan State Beach. Officers attempted to pull over the white 1989 Cadillac near Dos Pueblos Canyon Road. Kallas, 64, fled from the officers in the Cadillac , occasionally pointing with his hand out the window, as if he were going to pull over. A right front flat tire from the spike strip caused Kallas to pull to the right shoulder just south of North Padaro Lane, but then he pulled back into traffic and drove about 100 yards farther south, before stopping in the middle of the two traffic lanes. He was eventually taken into custody without injury to himself or the officers. He was later determined to be suffering from mental illness and was taken in for a mental evaluation and hold.
corner of 7th Street and Linden Avenue was sold. The closure of the well-loved restaurant had many of its loyal fans up in arms. As a result, Mike and Lucy decided to open their own eatery with a few new twists on the successful Tony’s formula. They plan to install flatscreen televisions in the new space to screen surfing and sporting events. A kids area will include arcade games and a TV with children’s programming. Mike said that affordability and great taste will guide the menu. Fans of the Tony’s cheeseburger should look no farther than the TC Burger at Borrello’s. Beer and wine will also be served. Plans are to start serving belly-filling meals in the first week of September, though the arrival of the pizza oven will dictate specific timing. Restaurant hours will be 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. seven days a week. Borrello’s Pizza & Pastaria replaces The BBQ Company, which owner Gary Nielsen opened in 2009.
