CUSD superintendent to leave district

After nearly a decade under the leadership of Superintendent Paul Cordeiro, Carpinteria Unified School District announced on Dec. 8 that it will soon be in the market for a new top administrator. Cordeiro accepted a position as superintendent of Newhall School District, and will begin his new job on Feb. 1. Cordeiro noted that the midyear timing of his CUSD Superintendent resignation was less than Paul Cordeiro ideal, but that the current accepted a position Newhall superintendent as superintendent of had decided to retire at Newhall School District. the close of the semester. Newhall School District is comprised of 10 elementary schools and around 7,000 students. Cordeiro worked as the assistant superintendent there before being hired by CUSD in 2005. He said the move offers him greater compensation and a change that is “good for me and my family.” “I will leave (CUSD) with really good memories,” said Cordeiro. “We have put multiple mechanisms in place to let kids succeed.”

Gregg Carty appointed new mayor of Carpinteria By Dale MyerS

After a brief certificate of election and swearing-in ceremony, the Carpinteria City Council in its Dec. 8 meeting voted unanimously to appoint Gregg Carty, former vice mayor, the new mayor of Carpinteria. Carty replaces Brad Stein, who retains his seat on the city council. Carty, Stein and councilman Al Clark have commenced new terms on the council. No other candidates filed for election, so the council opted to cancel the election for the three seats in order to save the $10,000 cost of participating in the general election and making the seats available to write-in candidates. The motion to make Carty mayor was made by former mayor Stein, who thanked the community for “having the faith in the job we (the council) are doing. Every councilmember up here gives it their all. This is the best council I’ve ever sat with.” The new mayor also took time to thank outgoing mayor Stein, who was elected to the city council in 1990 and has served multiple terms as mayor. “Your commitment to Carpinteria is true,” said Mayor Carty of Stein, adding

that it “continues to amaze me.” As the new mayor, Carty is now responsible for presiding over city council meetings, providing input on business matters for the agenda, representing the city council at various business, social and ceremonial events and signing all city ordinances and resolutions. Carty, who previously served a term as mayor of Carpinteria, stated that as mayor once again he will “always strive to do what is best for our community.” The Carpinteria City Council appoints its mayor and vice mayor for two-year terms, and appointments are made via nomination and majority vote of the city council. Subsequently, the city council also voted unanimously to appoint Councilman Fred Shaw as the new vice mayor, a motion that was also made by Stein. A prior motion made by the new mayor to appoint Councilman Wade Nomura as vice mayor resulted in no second; therefore a vote was not held.

9th Street footbridge to open soon

After a multi-month closure, the 9th Street Pedestrian Bridge is nearly ready for use. A new bridge was installed in recent weeks to replace its aging and unsafe predecessor, and Public Works Director Charlie Ebeling reported that most of the work on the new bridge, such as construction of approach walkways, will be completed by the end of the month. Minor work, including the electrical connection to the bridge for the hand railing lighting, is expected to be ﬁnished in January. Ebeling said, “…the new bridge literally lowered right on to the bolts cast into the abutments. The contractor and the surveyors did a great job.”

Hara Gutierrez stars as Clara in this year’s production of “The Nutcracker” by Curtis Studio of Dance.

Curtis Studio “Nutcracker” features Hara Gutierrez

Hara gutierrez has been honing her dancing and acting skills in preparation for her starring role as Clara in “The Nutcracker.” The 13-year-old spends busy Saturdays joining rehearsals with dancers ranging from the 4-year-olds who play mice and the older students who are Sugar Plum Fairies. “It’s all been really fun. I love playing with the little kids,” gutierrez said. She follows in the footsteps of her older sister, Bali, who danced the role of Clara two years ago. “After she played Clara, I really wanted to. It was exciting to get picked,” Hara said. Studio owner Bonnie Curtis described Hara as a dedicated student. She has attended Curtis Studio for nine years. “She’s an extremely balletic dancer. She has a beautiful foot,” Curtis said. “Her style will give life to the part.” Between class and rehearsal, gutierrez spends 15 hours a week at the school. The prodigious young dancer said the opportunity to act is what attracted her to the starring role. She performs her whole range of emotions from being scared to happy when the rats are battling and she helplessly watches to learn the fate of her prince. “The Nutcracker” will be staged at Carpinteria Middle School on Friday, Dec. 19, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 20, at 1 p.m. The cost of admission is $15.

Asked about his accomplishments, Cordeiro pointed out that since he was hired in 2005, the percentage of CuSD graduates that qualify for u.C. schools has risen from 20 to 50, the district passed Measure u for an injection of $90 million over the next several years and a state of the art teaching kitchen was constructed at Carpinteria High School. New programs during Cordeiro’s time include THrIVE, with its cradle to career emphasis, as well as AVID classes for college bound students, dual enrollment courses that offer college and high school credit, Teen Court and healthy eating programs. In a letter to CuSD staff announcing Cordeiro’s resignation, Andy Sheaffer, school board president, stated that, “More information will follow in the near future as the Board decides upon options and a timeline for the transition.”

CITY COUNCIL: Continued from page 1

In other business, the city council again voted unanimously to designate January 2015 as Carpinteria Business Month and April 2015 as Department of Motor Vehicles/ Donate Life California Month, the latter of which will coincide with an organ, eye and tissue donation drive. The mission of Donate Life California is to save lives by inspiring people to sign up with the state organ, eye and tissue donor registry, which can be done through the DMV by simply checking “Yes” when applying for or renewing your driver’s license or ID. “In California alone there are 27,000 people on a waiting list for donations,” said Mayor Carty. “One person can save eight lives and enhance 50 others through organ and tissue donation.”

Art seeking shelter

Carpinteria Arts Center looks toward future By LeA Boyd

Excitement for a modern and spacious new Carpinteria Arts Center rose to a fever pitch a few years ago when the city scrutinized and ultimately approved plans for a multimillion dollar project at 855 Linden Ave. The plans are still permitted; the volunteer force is even stronger; and the community need still exists; however, the $6.9 million necessary to fund construction and create an endowment for operations remains nonexistent. “I thought we’d have broken ground by now, frankly. So it’s a little frustrating,” said Carpinteria Arts Council Co-Chair David Powdrell. Powdrell and the rest of the team at the arts center have not given up on the big dream, but they have accepted a reality that includes a longer-than-anticipated timeline and perhaps a scaled down version of the building. The theme that Powdrell stresses is that the art center that eventually materializes will be a project for the people by the people. “We are really lucky that we have a lot of support, and at the end of the day, the community will decide what happens here,” he said. The first reality check came when the organization completed a feasibility study in early 2013. Asked whether Carpinteria Arts Center was ready to launch a capital campaign to fund the just-permitted building project, the feasibility study provided a clear answer: no. The economy was inching out of its doldrums, and the community needed to be more aware of Carpinteria Arts Center to financially support its grand vision. Armed with a checklist of needs provided by the study, the organization began plodding toward a time when the answer to its capital campaign question would be yes. In the ensuing two years, major steps taken have been the hiring of Executive Director Sherri Frazer, the rebranding of the organization, improvements to the existing site, strengthening the board of directors and establishment of new collaborations with other nonprofits. Michael Kramer, chair of the communications committee, said that phase one of his committee’s efforts was to create a new logo, consistent messaging and a new website to rebrand the organization. The dramatic improvements to the property —new sign, eye-catching canvas sails and a curved, plexiglass fence separating the courtyard from Linden Avenue—have also helped to draw positive attention to the space and its purpose. “It used to look like a back alley location with a dilapidated building,” Kramer said. Now, he said, the space is inviting and contemporary. “A lot of people had lived in Carp for 20 to 30 years and had never gone beyond that chain link fence,” Powdrell said of the old center. As a result of the organi-

zation’s efforts, attendance has doubled at its events, such as art receptions and juror talks. The area of focus now is programming. Before they write big checks toward a new building, donors want to see that the community is benefiting from programs offered at the existing center and that the existing programs are sustainable, said Frazer. Art by the Sea, four weeks of summer art classes for young children, has been in place for several years, but new art education classes are in the works that will expand the age range of pupils, topics covered and time frame of existing programs. Aurora Star valentine, co-teacher for Art by the Sea, is working closely with Frazer to develop new programs for the center. Funding for the arts in schools has been whittled away in recent years, and valentine says that the risk to the community is losing its art culture over time. The art center, she said, is posing the question, “How are we, as a dedicated community, acting to preserve art education?” Creating a Carpinteria art district is another goal that is enthusiastically espoused by both Kramer and Frazer. The center applied for a Santa Barbara Foundation grant to develop a city-wide arts district but wasn’t selected for funding. Frazer is optimistic that next year the funding will come through.

The new and improved curb appeal of Carpinteria Arts Center has helped to raise awareness for an organization that hopes to build a more modern and accommodating home in the near future. of a local art district would be the ability to cross-promote with Santa Barbara art districts, such as the Funk Zone, and eventually to host joint events that benefit the arts culture up and down the coast. According to Powdrell, the launch of a capital campaign for the building is still a year or two away. And some big conversations have to happen before then. one of those will be getting a pulse on what the community wants at the art center. Another will be ascertaining what the community can afford for an art center. “If we can’t raise $6.9 million, what can we raise?” asked Powdrell. That answer will dictate what happens in the longterm at 855 Linden Ave.

In the meantime, the organization must continue to fundraise to meet its $180,000 annual budget, which Powdrell describes as “bare bones.” Frazer has introduced several campaigns to bring in new support for the facility and its offerings. To become a member or make a donation, visit carpinteriaartscenter.org. Though the precise shape, size and timeline for a future home for local arts may still be uncertain, there is no lack of passion toward the art center to come. In conversations with Powdrell and Frazer, it is abundantly clear that the art culture in Carpinteria is not going extinct. “I don’t want to be the generation that drops the ball on the arts,” Powdrell said.

Years of interest, conversations and fundraisers aimed at building a community skatepark in Carpinteria will soon culminate in a community workshop on Dec. 15 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, 5775 Carpinteria Ave. The meeting will include data and discussions about adding a skatepark to the City of Carpinteria parks system. A feasibility study on the topic by the Parks and Recreation Department was proposed to the city council in January 2014 and has been completed. Now is the time for the voices of skateboarders, parents and friends to be heard. Everyday households, civic leaders and businesses please respond. An earlier appeal for a skatepark resulted in a temporary facility that did not meet the test of time. From that failed attempt to build a skatepark, a new generation of skateboarders has envisioned a permanent park. Carpinteria Skate Foundation was formed to bring the issue to the public’s attention and work with local government to succeed. CSF and its followers exhibited the patience necessary to wait on the political machinery while keeping a hopeful face on the most asked question, “Where and when is the skatepark going to be?” Well the time has come for those asking the question to make their case. There is no basis to fear a skatepark. Now is the time for all sides to come together to begin real discussions, develop speciﬁc plans and ﬁnd the funds to build a skatepark at the available 5th Street property. We will look upon these efforts in the future with a sense of civic pride much like The Bluffs, Tomol Intereptive Play Area, Carpinteria Salt Marsh Park and the Franklin Trail, because we will have met the challenge to build a park for Carpinterians and visitors to use with a sense of wonder and accomplishment!

Doug Galati Carpinteria

I was asked the other day, “Just what does a school superintendent do?” As a former school board member, parent and school volunteer, I actually felt qualified to give an answer. Our superintendent has the toughest job in the area. Name one other executive that deals with the following: They have nearly 300 employees to keep happy. It’s impossible to pay their best people enough money, and it’s impossible to fire the ones who should be let go. They also are responsible for the most precious asset we have here, our children, all of them. They are trusted to educate them from kindergarten to 12th grade and just to make it interesting, the state and feds move the goalposts about every five years. The same people who can’t balance a budget, gerrymander congressional districts and all kinds of other nonsense, hand down new “education” programs. These programs have fancy names like “No Child Left Behind” and now “Common Core.” I hear the next one they are working on is called “Brown Sack Lunch.” What every teacher will tell you in private is that what we need are more engaged parents. A parent who comes to Back to School night. A parent who has taught their child to respect others and in turn earn respect. I wonder if they have a catchy name for that program yet? In conclusion, thank Paul Cordeiro for the job he did for our kids, and thank the new superintendent for the job they will be hired to do, because it’s a tough one.

For the record

In the Nov. 27 issue of Coastal View News, a “Club Scene” article about the Rotary Club of Carpinteria incorrectly named Radical Studios, Inc. Jesse Berger, son of club member Matthew Berger, is one of the founders of the company. The article “Cat declawing decried as inhumane” that was printed in the Nov. 20 issue of Coastal View News erroneously named a California law related to cat declawing. The correct law is SB 762.

Alert employee thwarts shoplifter

A distributor of kiteboards and other marine supplies on Rose Lane received a suspicious phone call from a woman trying to unload a gently used kiteboard on Nov. 24. The woman on the phone said her boyfriend had given it to her, and she only took it out for a few spins. The distributor found the whole conversation odd because the woman could not identify very simple parts of the kiteboard she said she had ridden and wanted to sell. Still, he asked her to come on by the shop so he could have a look. In the meantime, he called a kiteboard instructor in Ventura to see if the instructor knew of any recent thefts. The instructor said he’d seen mention of a theft on an online forum, and they were able to identify a Los Angeles County detective who was working on the missing kite board case. Then the distributor called local deputies to inform them that he was likely about to get a visit from a thief. Deputies told him to dial 9-1-1 when the suspect arrived. The female kiteboard seller arrived with a male companion in a white van, so deputies got the call. They first spoke to the man, 25, who was leery of the lawmen and said, “I’m just along for the ride.” When they asked for his name, the man told deputies he’d “plead the fifth,” but they informed him that article of the Constitution wasn’t applicable. When he revealed his name, deputies learned that he had an outstanding parole warrant issued for his arrest. As for the kiteboard, the woman explained that it had belonged to her boyfriend. He had been arrested for domestic abuse and the judge reportedly informed her to do whatever she wanted with his belongings. When she learned that the board was likely stolen, she said she was concerned that she might possess other items of his that also had been stolen. Deputies said she should check them out with her local police department.

A restaurant owner was recently bilked for $3,395 by a scammer posing as Southern California Edison. The owner received a call from a person posing as a SoCal Edison representative. The voice on the phone informed the owner that his electric bill was way past due and a field technician would pull up at any time to shut the lights out. In order to remedy the

An employee of a Linden Avenue store reported to sheriff’s deputies on Nov. 24 that a woman had entered a dressing room with four items of clothing and emerged with none. The alleged thief, a 23-year-old woman, ripped the price tags and a security tag off the clothing and littered them in the dressing room. The employee entered behind her and found the mess but no clothing. When confronted, the suspect said she didn’t take anything but refused to empty her purse. Then the sheriff’s car rolled up, and she unloaded the stolen items for the clerk and pleaded with her to not press charges. Deputies recognized the woman as a repeat offender and heroin user. However, when they asked her name, she replied with the wrong one. The tattoo on her neck was reportedly a dead giveaway. Officers learned that the woman had an active warrant for her arrest in Ventura County. Also, she had damaged a pair of shorts when tearing the security tag from it. In total, she’d stashed nearly $300 in clothing in her purse. Also in her purse, deputies found a syringe and a brown tar substance they suspected to be heroin. Against the woman’s pleading, the store pressed charges for the theft, and deputies arrested her.

Her male companion was arrested for the warrant, and deputies forwarded a report to the DA’s office requesting charges be brought upon the woman for possession of stolen property.

The debit card would take too long to post, and time was of the essence. The owner was to go to a store and load up prepaid cards in order to furnish the numbers to the representative. He did. He forwarded the numbers to a new representative, who claimed to be the supervisor, and the one with the authority to stop the technician from doing the deed. However, half-an-hour after delivering the card numbers, the owner received a new call from a new person. She said the supervisor was unable to tell the technician to stand down for the previous amount and would need $1,000 more.

Next week: Warrior basketball hits the court December 11 - 17, 2014

CHS soccer looks to rebound big in 2014-15 BY PETER DUGRÉ

Carpinteria High School boys varsity soccer has its sights set on regaining control of Tri-Valley League after falling short of winning the championship last season. Prior to that, the team had captured 5-of-6 TVL titles. League newcomers Cate School and Nordhoff High School will be looking to make a splash, but the Warriors are hoping that the experience last season—with a sophomore-heavy squad—will result in a mature, aggressive group that exerts its will against opponents this season. Coach Leo Quintero considered last year a disappointment but saw a silver lining. “We had a lot of close games and just struggled to pull them out,” he said. “We’re looking to make an impact in TVL this year.” The team battled injury, including the sidelining of key player Eric Contreras, the center back last season. Contreras along with Juan Pablo Alvarez, Benji Garcia, Francisco Arroyo and Lalo Garcia came as highly touted players from the national champion Santa Barbara Soccer Club last season. Other than Arroyo, they were all sophomores last season and will now enter their junior season. Arroyo is a senior co-captain. Nordhoff won the CIF Division 5 championship last season, and Cate had claimed two straight Division 7 championships before last season. The 2013-14 TVL title went to Malibu, which still looks like a contender. Santa Paula High School is also known for fielding a sound squad, and rival Bishop Diego has also bumped up to TVL after some success in Frontier League. Quintero said reclaiming TVL supremacy with a championship is the team’s goal for this season. “We can’t be too laid back against any team,” he said. The team will be without its five club players until after the Christmas break. Club involvement precludes them from taking the field for Carpinteria High School until that commitment has ended. The players should all be active by the start of regular season play in mid-January. Victor Saldaña, a senior forward and versatile ball-handler, has played varsity for four seasons and is a captain along with Arroyo. Saldaña is known for his ability to win balls out of the air with a springy vertical leap. Another impact player and potent scoring threat will be Diego Contreras, a natural attacker who got the call to come up from the JV level last year. He scored two goals in his first varsity game and never looked back. Quintero said the team’s philosophy will be to “attack 11 and defend 11.” To employ the aggressive strategy, the team hopes to shuffle through a deep 18-man roster. Yhobanny Elizarraraz and Christian Lopez-Chacon will be key role players at midfield with some defensive responsibilities depending on the need. Incoming freshman Luis Garcia, “a

“The most important thing for us is teamwork. We need to work together and not put each other down.” ––Victor Saldaña, co-captain

DUGRÉ

Senior co-captains Victor Saldaña and Francisco Arroyo have high hopes for this year’s edition of Carpinteria High School soccer.

“We have a good squad and we can go far. Our goal is to take it all the way to CIF. I believe in this group.” ––Francisco Arroyo, co-captain rare talent,” according to Quintero, might have the most potential of anyone on the team. The lefty midﬁelder will develop into a varsity player on the ﬂy with a spot in the 18-man rotation. The Warriors will not host a contest until the New Year, with a 5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 2, non-league tilt against Royal High School. Rivalry matches will be plentiful this season and will have TVL and playoff implications. The Warriors host Bishop on Wednesday, Jan. 14, at 5 p.m. and Cate the following Wednesday, Jan. 21, at 5 p.m.

Cate football players get All-CIF nods Cate School 8-man football made the second round of CIF playoffs this season and ﬁve players earned recognition from CIF for their contributions to the success. Landing on the 1st Team were Dean Smith, Peter Kim and Isaiah Washington. Honorable Mention nods went to Warren Giles and Kian O’Connor.

The Warriors settled in after some early first-game jitters to build an 11-point lead by halftime on back-to-back second quarter 3-pointers by Reed. Gordon sank four 3-pointers, and the outside shooting allowed the Warriors to stretch the floor and create space for Miranda and Picerni to operate on the interior. “We are pleased with the start. All of my guys played well but they know we have a lot to work on and they all know where they can immediately improve,” commented coach Johnny Ward.

Girls basketball

Dec. 5 – A shorthanded Warrior girls basketball team dropped three games and won one at the Fillmore Tournament. The first game against Villanova Prep, a 34-33 loss, came down to the wire with Villanova sealing it on free throws in the final seconds. In the second game, the Warriors lost 51-33 to Hueneme, and in the third game—“the best overall effort considering the competition and suiting up eight,” according to coach Dan Mercer—the Warriors lost 50-25 to Santa Clara. The Warriors trailed by just three at halftime. The team won its final game 59-11 over Vasquez High School. Tori Kelley averaged 10 points, four steals and was selected to the All Tourney Team; Monique Sanchez averaged eight points and six rebounds; and Sierra Diaz averaged 7.5 points and 2.5 steals.

Girls soccer

Dec. 8 – Warrior girls soccer started its season out on the right foot when picking up a 2-0 victory at Laguna Blanca School. Kelsie Bryant sank the team’s first goal with a left-footed blast in the first half. In the second half, freshman defender Alejandra Alvarez notched her first goal in a Warrior uniform. Warrior coach Charles Bryant commended strong defensive play, particularly from Alejandra Garcia-Zamora and Monica Garcia. “They showed a lot of composure back there and were well in control from a defensive standpoint,” he said. Late game fatigue slowed the Warrior attack some, but Charles commented that it’s to be expected in the first game.

Boys soccer

Cate School

Dec. 4 – Cate boys soccer opened its season with a 1-0 victory over St. Bonaventure High School. The Rams got on the board 9 minutes into the game when Christian Herman placed a left-footed shot from 10 yards out into the lower right corner. That play began with Geoffrey Acheampong sliding a through ball to Iman Fardghassemi on the right side of the box and Fardghassemi zipping a low hard ball across the box to Herman who had timed his run perfectly. Despite outshooting the Seraphs 22-7, the Rams just couldn’t ﬁnd the back of the net again. St. Bonny created several good scoring opportunities late in the game, forcing Cate keeper Keller Mochel into three terriﬁc saves. Coach Peter Mack commented that as the game wore on the team was able to become more in sync.

Boys basketball

Dec. 4 – Cate boys basketball hosted Providence High School to open the season and pick up a hard-fought 59-55 victory. The Rams held a slight lead for much of the first half despite foul trouble. Freshman Marko Pliso scored 11 of Cate’s 26 first half points, and the youngster had 22 points in the contest. The Rams managed just 9 points in the third quarter, which allowed Providence back into the game. Sophomore Nick Thomas provided the Rams with a spark in the fourth quarter by scoring 10 of his 15 points in the final period. Providence hung around by hitting big shots, but Cate held on for victory. Coach Bryan Rodriguez commended the defense and 3-point shooting of senior captain Humza Khurshid.

Boys soccer

Dec. 8 – Warrior boys soccer dropped its season opener, 1-0, at Paciﬁca High School. The Warriors yielded the goal 11 minutes into the second half. After the Warriors missed on a corner kick, Paciﬁca rebounded and mounted a counter attack that caught the Warrior defense off guard to sink the deciding goal. Warrior coach Leo Quintero commented that the team put an “a great overall effort” while coming up short. Goalkeeper Jose Angeles stopped a penalty kick that kept the Warriors in the game.

Bryant finishes in top 16 of CIF SS

Warrior tennis player Kelsie bryant lost just twice this season, both times to summer dvorak of Laguna beach. in the Round of 16 of the CIF SS individual tournament at the Seal Beach Tennis Club on dec. 4, bryant fell to dvorak, 6-7(3), 6-1, 6-2. dvorak ranks #7 in California and had previously beaten Bryant in round two of CIF Division 2 playoffs. Dvorak advanced to the championship and finished as runner up. bryant attacked in the opening set and hit many winners. “She played aggressively, firing away with her forehand and hitting winners with her backhand,” commented coach Charles bryant. he said both players upped their game from their original meeting. to advance to the Round of 16, Kelsie had defeated Kristina breisacher from santa margarita high school, 6-1, 7-6 (7). “Kelsie played really well in the first set and was doing a good job of dictating play. both players played aggressively with long well-constructed points,” commented Charles. “Kelsie just seemed to

get on the winning end of most of them.” Kelsie had to come back from a 3-0 deficit in the second set. She ripped off five straight games to go up 5-3. the match lasted 2 1/2 hours, and Kelsie was glad to not have to play a third set. “We wish Summer well as she is a fantastic player, a great athlete and she shows great sportsmanship. it takes some of the sting out of a loss when you give it your all and lose to a player of that quality,” commented Charles.

Q&A with Kelsie Bryant

1. When did it start to become clear that Warrior tennis was going to accomplish something special? my teammates have such a great work ethic and mentality, and i knew that we had the potential to make something great. it wasn’t until after we won league my freshman year that i realized how far we could go. the girls worked so hard—

short stops

practice ended when we literally couldn’t see the ball anymore, and it really paid off.

2. What drove you to continue to get better over the four years? my teammates really pushed each other, both in practices and matches. We became a family and worked so hard for each other. We all wanted to be the best that we could be and help the team in any way that we could. 3. What parts of your game have improved most? i think my competitiveness and fight have really improved over the last four years. i want to do well for my team, my school and my community. i play for a purpose that is bigger than myself, biLL sWiNG and it’s great knowing that Kelsie Bryant finished her career at CHS going my teammates are doing much further than any other girl had at the CIF the same. SS individual tournament. She defeated four

players along the way including the #1 seed in

4. Who’s the toughest her sectional (and the #10 seed overall in CIF). high school opponent you faced? What about that match was challenging? she was so talented and experienced, and my toughest opponent would have to although I was bummed I didn’t come out be Natalie Johnson, my first round op- with a win, it was an awesome opportuponent in CIF Finals my freshman year. nity to play against a high quality player.

Girl Scouts fill hungry bellies

Almost a dozen students from the Carpinteria high school interact Club joined forces to decorate a tree donated by the Rotary Club of Carpinteria for the Carpinteria Lions Club’s 2014 Festival of Trees. “This is the third year that the students have stepped up to do the decorations, and they are super workers with a great sense of taste,” said Jan harrington, who assisted with the decorations for the tree.

Carpinteria Girl scouts recently purchased non-perishable food to donate to those in need this winter. The smart cookies stretched their profits from the annual cookie selling fundraiser by purchasing foods discounted by 50 percent or more. Victoria delk, a seventh-grade troop member, stated, “it was rewarding knowing that this food will be used to help the less fortunate this holiday season. We don’t just sell cookies, we sell cookies to be able to make a difference in the world.” other Carpinteria Girl scout troops collected food donations for the Foodbank of santa barbara County in front of Vons. Food donations can still be made to the Carpinteria Community Church’s office located at 1111 Vallecito Road.

CHS band rings in the holidays for Rotary

After a lively performance by the Carpinteria high school band on dec. 3, morning Rotarians agreed that there was no better way to start the festive holiday season than being treated to the sounds of the 28-member group directed by elise unruh. small ensembles of woodwinds, brass and strings shared period and contemporary pieces, ending with a spirited whole-band version of “i want to wish you a merry Christmas.” “And they did reach the ‘bottoms of our hearts,’” reported president Art Fisher. unruh stressed to the club that support of the band by the community and Morning Rotarians has been very much appreciated and that early experiences in learning and playing music contribute to life long successes in academics, leadership and positives outlooks on life.

from provence to the pacific PASCALE BEALE

Pearing nicely My lovely daughter loves pears. I’m always looking for new dishes to make with these sweet, juicy fruits and found that they work well in salads. They pair beautifully with blue cheese (if that is not your favorite, you can use feta or another salty cheese instead), they’re fantastic roasted and of course poached. Often they can be found in tarts, but I was trying to make a unique pear dessert and found that using them in a clafoutis is just short of heaven!

Pear carpaccio with a mache and Roquefort salad

Traditionally, carpaccio is a dish of paper-thin beef or fish that is drizzled with olive oil or lemon juice. In this dish, it’s the pears that have been thinly sliced to create the carpaccio. The pears are sliced horizontally to create round disks. You can slice them lengthwise and fan them out, if you prefer.

Ingredients

3 Tablespoons lemon olive oil 1 Tablespoon Champagne vinegar Salt and black pepper 4 ounces mache 2 ounces Roquefort or Stilton 1 Tablespoon pecans, chopped 1 Tablespoon pistachios, chopped 1 bunch chives, finely chopped 4 pears, peeled and sliced horizontally to create 1/8-inch disks 1 lemon, halved

Process Mix together the olive oil and vinegar in the bottom of a large salad bowl. Add in a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Place salad utensils over the vinaigrette.

in a circular pattern on each salad plate, covering the central part of each plate completely. Squeeze some lemon juice over the pears.

Place the mache, Roquefort, chives and nuts on top of the serving utensils and set aside until ready to serve.

Toss the salad and divide it equally among the plates, setting the salad in the middle of the plate on top of the pears.

Arrange the very thinly sliced pear disks

Recipe serves eight people.

Pear vanilla clafoutis

Clafoutis is a dessert from the Limousin part of France. They’re usually made with cherries. The pear version is an absolute treat, and if you have some left over, wonderful with a cup of coffee for breakfast too. Perhaps this will become our new Christmas morning treat.

Ingredients

3 cups milk 1¼ cups sugar 1 vanilla bean split lengthwise or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour 5 large eggs 5-6 pears, peeled and chopped

Process

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium sized saucepan, heat the milk with the sugar and the vanilla bean or vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside.

In a separate bowl, place the flour and then whisk in one egg at a time. You should have a completely smooth batter. Slowly stir in the milk mixture. The batter should be very liquid but free of any lumps. Set aside. Place the pears in a shallow round or oval baking dish. Pour the batter over the fruit and fill the baking dish. Place in the center of the oven and bake for 45 minutes. The clafoutis is done when you jiggle the pan and it is set. The top should appear golden brown. Serve at room temperature. Recipe serves 8-10 people.

on the road UCLA shoe stands out in Sooner State

Jim Swinford had been visiting his grandchildren in Indiana when a massive powder blue sneaker in a field caught his eye. A big UCLA fan, Swinford could not pass up stopping for a photo op with the curiously out-of-place shoe and a copy of the CVN. The shoe was near the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in New Castle and sits in front of the All-American Inn, which is reportedly owned by family members of UCLA Coach Steve Alford, who grew up there and played at Indiana University.

Alicia Sorkin visited Oaxaca, Mexico to celebrate the Day of the Dead. The area is known for lively celebrations and commemorates the traditional Day of the Dead ceremony with colorful costumes, music, parades and altars dedicated to memories of the departed. “It is a spiritual experience that brings the living close to those who have passed,” commented Sorkin. She busted out her CVN at the archaeological site of Monte Alban, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Monte Alban was inhabited from 500 B.C. to 850 A.D. by the Zapotec peoples.

Carpinterians turn up the heat in Pueblo

The Seal Fountain, Linden Avenue

Nancy Madrid, Dean Derﬂinger and doggy Emma hit Pueblo, Colo. for the 20th Annual Chile Fest. They visited Pueblan friends Cahl and Gayton Cardinalli, who sold their delectable chile wraps at the festival, which according to Madrid is similar in nature to Carpinteria’s Avocado Festival and offers every chile concoction imaginable. Pueblo is known for its green chiles, and many New Mexican varieties are also included at the celebration of spicy peppers.
