Warrior alumni dusted off their pads to face archrival Bishop Diego on May 28, and although the results of the football game, dubbed War on the Shore IV, tilted in Bishop’s favor 7-0, the overall outcome was a continuation of the competitive spirit the schools have enjoyed for over 70 years. Pictured above, Paul Aguilar (#6) fakes the handoff to Justin Alvarado in an attempt to bust through Bishop’s defense. For more War on the Shore coverage, see Sports on page 20.

The Carpinteria Boys & Girls Club has teamed up with Carpinteria Beautiful to clear litter from the bike path that runs along Franklin Creek by the club. The students regularly pick up trash and maintain the cleanliness of the trail. On Earth Day, the group discussed long-term effects of keeping their environment clean. “The only way for the kids to understand their impact on the planet was to physically see how an afternoon of work can make a difference,” reported Alexa Gaddis, the club’s programs director. Above, members of Carpinteria Boys & Girls Club work with staff member David Acosta to keep the bike path clean.

Kim’s Market. Originally painted by Santa Barbara artist Armando Vallejo in the early 1990s, the 100-foot long Aztec-themed art piece depicts two long serpents, one red and one green, with Tlaloc, the rain god, in the center. The last time the mural received any TLC was 2003. In the ensuing years, its pigments faded and graffiti-removal efforts strayed from the original mural colors. Bellas Artes, a Carpinteria Arts Center cultural arts education outreach project founded by Kathleen Lord and currently under the direction of Cynthia Woo, undertook the recent effort to repaint the mural using grant monies from the Fund for Santa Barbara. Youth instructors Moctezuma, Hernandez and Maria Ramos applied for the funding, led the restoration in April and May and officially unveiled the updated art piece last week.

Four blue gum eucalyptus trees Rodsspared & Roses were the ax yet again this week when the Carpinteria City Council voted against the revisited Tree Advisory Board’s recommendation for removal. The trees, planted about 135 years ago, are part of a city historical landmark. Their age, natural limb-dropping tendencies and proximity to a playground structure put them in the city’s crosshairs for removal, but outspoken members of the public tipped the council toward preservation.

Murrell said that she awoke in an ambulance without a recollection of anything after she was struck. She spent the night in the hospital and said, “I’ve been in horrible pain ever since.” The Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Department is looking for the suspect, and Murrell hopes that the woman or anyone else with information on the crime will come forward.

Cushman honored for Sanitary District project
The Santa Barbara County Chapter of the California Special Districts Association recently named Cushman Contracting Corporation, and its superintendent Jim Dinning, as the 2016 Contractor of the Year. This prestigious award was in recognition for Cushman’s successful completion of the $7 million Aerated Sludge Holding Tank Project for the Carpinteria Sanitary District. Craig Murray, the district’s General Manager, presented the award to Dinning at the annual CSDA awards banquet on Nov. 18 in Buellton. Cushman Contracting, based in Goleta, is a general engineering contractor that works primarily on water, wastewater and other large public infrastructure projects throughout California. “During the construction phase of the District’s 18-month upgrade project, Cushman was a true partner and their team went above and beyond to solve complex problems and to Jim Dinning, of Cushman deliver an excellent product at a reasonable cost Contracting, accepts the CSDA for our community,” said Murray. award.
Suspect sought in hit-and-run
A disabled Carpinteria woman who was struck and seriously injured by a car in a Carpinteria Avenue crosswalk on Dec. 4 is holding out hope that the driver, who is wanted for the crime, will come forward. Roxanne Murrell broke five ribs in the hit-and-run accident in which the driver told witnesses that she would park her car and return to the scene, but fled instead. Murrell said that at 9:15 that morning, she approached the Carpinteria Avenue crosswalk near the entrance to Casitas Plaza in her motorized, three-wheeled scooter. She initiated the flashing safety lights, and “I looked to the right and left and saw cars way in the distance.” She entered the crosswalk, and was close to the opposite
As if walking the beach, exploring the backcountry and enjoying the shops and restaurants didn’t provide enough hometown fun in Carpinteria, the Arts Center at 855 Linden Ave. has seven workshops planned for early next year for participants to practice skills ranging from jewelry making to ukulele strumming. Starting Jan. 14, a Fused Glass Workshop, Beginning Oil Painting, Beginning Guitar (levels 1 and 2), Beginning Temari, Landscape Painting and Beginning Ukulele will be offered at the center. All classes are for adults, and pre-registration is required. For more information call 684-7789, or visit carpinteriaartscenter.org.
2017 brings new safety laws
New rules of the road take effect throughout California on Jan. 1, and some of the biggest changes relate to driving young children and use of cell phones while driving. Starting in 2017, children under the age of 2 must ride in a rear-facing child seat. Those who weigh 40 or more pounds, or stand 40 or more inches tall, are exempt. Motorists may not hold a cell phone while driving a motor vehicle. Instead, it must be mounted on the windshield or dashboard. The new law allows a driver to use only a single swipe or tap of the finger to operate the mounted device.

K R O Y NEW ! E V E S R A E Y W NE Saturday
Carpinteria resident Gloria Kaye, Ph.D., now offers distance-healing services as part of her wellbeing practice. Kaye works with individuals to regain optimal health through natural healing systems perfected over decades. Her in-person techniques to reduce symptoms consist of light pressure to various areas of imbalance. For distance healing, Kaye draws an impression of a health-related issue from the patient’s description. “Usually, three to five drawings are required, and I draw them as if I were doing automatic writing,” noted Dr. Kaye. “Once I have completed a drawing, I follow my intuition as to where the energetic imbalances exist. I place X’s over the areas and hold a pendulum over them.” Kaye received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and Health Psychology from International College. She lectured on Hands-On Healing at the UCLA School of Medicine and has over 20 published articles in the field of health psychology. She can be reached at 966-6104 or drgloriakaye@gmail.com.

By CHristiAn BeAmisH While the tradition of providing meals to homeless people on thanksgiving and Christmas is an undeniable act of kindness, the remaining 363 days of the year and the issues that surround homelessness always haunt the proceedings. but the Central Coast Collaborative on homelessness (C3h) is dedicated to helping the homeless of Santa barbara County every day of the year, and they also celebrate the holidays with traditional meals. this year, at both thanksgiving and Christmas time, C3h and local volunteers decorated the Carpinteria Veterans memorial building and served holiday meals, sitting down “as equals,” as one volunteer described the Christmas meal held on dec. 21. “it was probably the nicest holiday meal for homeless people that i’ve ever been to,” said Luke barrett, C3h Regional Coordinator: South Santa barbara County. the Crafty Ladies from Carpinteria Community Church knitted beanies and scarves for Christmas presents, the olmstead family cooked a turkey, and additional volunteers provided the rest of the meal. Another volunteer from Carpinteria Community Church wrapped presents for the homeless guests and decorated the hall. With money from AmeriCorps to fund a position last summer, C3h hired mike and Val Carmel in Carpinteria as “Street Navigators”—people who meet clients on the street and develop relationships. “our ultimate goal is to diminish the numbers” of people living on the street, said mike. “this is bigger than me, bigger than AmeriCorps, bigger than C3h. it’s going to a community to be able to house and meet the needs of people who have been on the street for a long time—some of the guys have been on the street in Carp for 20 years. bottom line, it costs

A Christmas lunch held at the Veteran’s Hall gave members of the local homeless population an opportunity to fill up on homemade holiday foods. less money to house people than to pay for local services like fire/ambulance/ police responses.” C3h began providing Wednesday lunches at the Veterans building at 941 Walnut Ave. last summer. A nurse attends the lunches to provide medical advice and, as Val noted, “somehow she has provided bus tokens to the people as well.” “there are about 20 homeless people in Carpinteria, and most of the 20 are long term residents, about 12 come to lunch each week,” said barrett. Working with City hall and volunteers in the community, C3h has been able to provide long-term homeless residents of Carpinteria a post office box to begin to receive
correspondence relating to public services they might qualify for, the opportunity to do laundry once a week at a local Laundromat, and they are currently working on ways to provide access to showers as well. Also in the works are plans to find transitional shelters, with possible ideas including small houses on trailers in church parking lots until more permanent housing can be developed.
“A homeless housing project in Goleta has taken about half the homeless population off the street there—about 35 people,” said barrett. “the people are doing well, and there hasn’t been a ‘vacuum-effect’ of more homeless people coming in,” he continued, suggesting that a similar approach could be effective in Carpinteria.

Letters Wrong way, buddy
On Dec. 9 at approximately 8 p.m. a Sheriff’s deputy in a marked patrol car initiated a traffic stop on the west end of Carpinteria Avenue after a vehicle drove northbound up the southbound off-ramp. Before turning around, the driver nearly collided with a vehicle exiting Highway 101. When the deputy turned on his emergency lights the driver braked abruptly, almost hit a parked car and came to a stop about two or three feet away from the curb. As the deputy approached the driver’s side window he was “immediately overwhelmed by the smell of an alcoholic beverage emanating from the cabin of the vehicle.” Two men were in the vehicle, a blue Ford Transit. When the deputy informed the driver that he’d been pulled over for nearly driving onto the freeway the wrong way, the man said he did not even know he’d gone the wrong way. The man did not have a diver’s license, registration or insurance on him but gave the deputy a California ID card. As the man spoke, the deputy noted “a very strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his mouth” and when he reached for his ID, “his movements were very deliberate as if he had been drinking.” The deputy asked the man if he’d had anything to drink and he hesitated before answering that he had not. A man sitting in the passenger seat was nodding his head up and down as the driver spoke, “as if to indicate that they had been drinking,” the deputy stated. Upon further questioning, the men said that they had had a couple of beers with lunch. A records check revealed that the driver’s license had been suspended or revoked, and that he had a misdemeanor warrant in LA County. LA County advised the deputy not to book the man on the warrant, as they would not come to get him. While waiting for the records check to come in, the deputy called for assistance from a deputy with Drug Recognition Expert training. A Sheriff’s sergeant also responded. The passenger had an open container of beer between his feet, and deputies recovered 10 empty bottles of Bear Republic Racer 5 India Pale Ale in the vehicle. Deputies also found an open container of Cannabis peanut butter dip in the vehicle after they had the men sit down outside on the curb. The driver did not pass a field sobriety test and was arrested for driving under the influence.
.04 grams and straight to jail
On Dec. 14 at approximately 10:45 p.m. two Sheriff’s deputies were walking behind an apartment complex on Concha Loma Drive, an area “frequently used as a place for drinking alcohol and and us-
ing illegal drugs in public” the reporting deputy noted. A blue sedan was idling in the alley, and one of the deputies approached the passenger-side door as the other approached the driver’s-side door. The reporting deputy stated that he saw a man sitting in the driver’s seat covering his lap and holding a small torchstyle lighter in his hand. When the other deputy asked the man what he was trying to hide in his lap, the man handed him a used methamphetamine smoking pipe. Deputies then had the man exit the vehicle and handcuffed him. Searching the man’s pockets, a deputy found a small bindle with .04 grams of what a field test later confirmed was methamphetamine. As the deputies were arresting the man, a woman approached who said she was his girlfriend. The man under arrest told the deputies he wanted his girlfriend to have the keys to his vehicle before they took him to Santa Barbara County Jail, and they allowed her to take the keys.
Standing on Via Real
On Dec. 16 at approximately 11 p.m. a deputy reported that he observed a man at a gas station on Via Real walk to the back of the building and bend down in the shadows, then move to the front of the building to smoke a cigarette. The deputy approached the man and informed him that he was in violation of the Carpinteria municipal code against smoking in public. The man had a cup of coffee and “began to drink rapidly,” the deputy noted. An additional unit arrived a few moments later, and the deputy who first made contact with the man told him that he was familiar with the man’s use of methamphetamine from past contacts and arrests. The man immediately denied having any meth. When the deputy asked the man why he was in the area, he said, “it was only smoking.” The deputy who had arrived to assist stayed with the man while the reporting deputy went to check the area where he’d seen the man bend down, and there he found a partiallyburied meth pipe. When the deputy approached the man to place handcuffs on him, the man began to resist his efforts and moved his hands from side to side. The deputy “shifted the man’s body weight forward,” and advised him not to resist. The deputy was able to get the cuffs on the man, and stated that the man was not injured in the process. When the deputy showed the man the meth pipe, he continued to deny that it was his and said that he had only been smoking. The man was arrested and taken to Santa Barbara County Jail and the meth pipe booked for evidence.
Become a mentor, change a life
A couple of weeks ago, Coastal View News wrote about a presentation to Procore employees by the Fighting Back Mentor Program. I’m pleased to report that 10 new mentors signed up that day, and more expressed interest. A year ago Carpinteria schools were not able to recommend students who needed mentors due to a lack of available mentors. Rotary became aware of this and decided to do something about the situation. We now have enough mentors that every child in Carpinteria should have the opportunity to have the life they deserve. Rotary eliminated polio in the world one child at a time and is committed to giving children the lives they deserve. We have the support of the Boys & Girls Club, Girls Inc., Carpinteria Arts Center, Plaza Playhouse Theater, Boy Scouts and more. They all want to be part of this challenge. Carpinteria has been a leader, and Rotary is now taking on Santa Barbara and Goleta to offer the same opportunities. There are 500 children in foster care in Santa Barbara County. Studies have found that 80 percent of foster children end up in prison. We need help to ensure that local children escape that fate.

Don’t stop whining
There have been several letters here along the lines of give President Elect Trump a chance. I would be more than happy to give any president elect from any party a chance if I deemed him or her fit for the position and of ethical, moral and diplomatic character. Based on these criteria and the actions of President Elect Trump post-election, I can no longer give
him a chance. He continues to spread hatred towards anyone different from him, anyone who questions him or opposes him. He has chosen a cabinet full of millionaires, billionaires and caterers to special interests. He continues to play domestic and global Twitter politics with potentially serious consequences when he is not yet even president. The conflicts of interest between his businesses and the presidency are vast and troubling and he has no plan or perceived interest in resolving them. He has demonstrated actions intended to undermine climate change research and reversal, and the protection of the planet we all call home and rely on for safe air and water, natural habitat and beauty. If in voicing my opinion on these concerns, which the U.S. Constitution thankfully allows, I am deemed to be “whining,” then so be it. I will not stop “whining” until a change for the better is made, for we have way too much to lose.

Open letter to the City of Carpinteria
I was biking back home from Winter Junior Lifeguards and I couldn’t believe what I saw. I saw a dead bird by the road. I know it may not bother you, but it means a lot to me because I really care about animals and the environment. So I’m asking you if you could please put up signs so people can be more aware. P.S. The bird got hit by a car.

It’s a Gift That Gives Both Ways Consider a Gift Annuity
Jeanne Nichols, beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend to many passed away peacefully at home in Carpinteria on Dec. 20. She was 89 years young. Jeanne follows her husband Richard, mother Lucille Jay, brothers Bill and Don Jay, and beloved daughter Laurie Styles into twilight. Born in Mobridge, S.D., she moved at the age of 16 to Long Beach, later settling in the San Francisco Bay Area where she and Richard raised their four children. They moved to Carpinteria in 1987, and it wasn’t long before she convinced her three daughters to take up residence in Carp to raise their families. The wonderful people of Carpinteria proved a great blessing to Jeanne, the Nichols and Styles families, and everyone who Jeanne graced with her unconditional love and kindness. She was truly a unique soul; loved and loving, strong and wise, giving and gracious. Although sorely missed, she will be forever remembered for the way she lived and the people she touched. Jeanne is survived by daughters Sharon and Wendy Nichols, son David Nichols, granddaughters Amanda Gocong (Chris) and Justine Nichols, grandsons Eddie Styles (Nicole), Conrad and Beau Nichols, great-granddaughters Layla and Gia Gocong, and great-grandson Cal Styles. Enjoy the eternal peace you have so wonderfully earned. Not a day will pass without your family drawing upon your love and kindness as inspiration and guidance. A celebration of Life will be held on Friday, Jan. 6 at 11 a.m. at the Carpinteria Cemetery, 1501 Cravens Lane. A reception will follow at the Carpinteria Woman’s Club, 1059 Vallecito Road. Arrangements entrusted to McDermott-Crockett Mortuary.

These are good resolutions for all of us. The new year is also a good time to take stock and share our vision for children in Santa Barbara County for the year that is about to take shape. It is a vision I’m sure most members of our community share. We envision children growing up in good health, with a zest for learning and living. We see them with a spark inside that makes them want to share their talents with those less fortunate, and work for the good of the order, just because it’s the right thing to do. We see children who are free of fear, free of abuse, free of drugs, free of prejudice. We see children who are free to reach beyond their circumstances, whatever those might be, and to join a society that welcomes their contributions on the job, in the community and in the voting booth. And we see a community willing to work together to bring all our children closer to that dream. My sincere gratitude to all, for helping in ways both large and small to make this community a better place for young people and families. That support is evident at every turn, and it is deeply appreciated. Happy holidays to young and old alike.

A new year is the traditional time for making resolutions. Family Circle Magazine once printed resolutions for parents, and I’m going to repeat them because they help focus our efforts as the new year begins: • I will always love my children for who they are — not who I want them to be. • I will give my child space to grow, to dream, to succeed and even to fail. Without that space, no growth can occur. • I will create a loving home environment, regardless of what effort it takes at a given time. • When discipline is necessary, I will let my child know that I disapprove of what he does, not who he is. • I will set limits and help my children find security in the knowledge of what is expected of them. They will not have to guess what is right or wrong. • I will make time for all my children and cherish our moments together. I will not burden my children with emotions and problems they are not equipped to deal with. • I will encourage my children to experience the world and all its possibilities, taking pains to leave them careful but not fearful. • I will try to be the kind of person I want my children to be: loving, fairminded, giving and hopeful.

FRANKLIN TALES
ORDINARY PEOPLE CLIMBING TO NEW HEIGHTS
DEBBIE MURPHY Kathy Henry is a Carpinteria resident of many years. She is retired after 38 years as a school administrator from the Los Angeles area. Her husband of 60 years, Bob Henry, died in July of 2015.
Will you hike today? Well, I am going out of town tomorrow morning, yet I’m anxious to sneak up there after lunch today to see how it looks after the great rain we had last night. I expect all the dust will be cleaned off the plants. The last two rains weren’t quite strong enough to do the job; yet it will be beautiful today. What do you take with you on the trail? I just take two bottles of water. One for myself and one for the dog bowl before the stairs, I usually clean out the bowl, which is really just the bottom of a gallon jug, then fill it with water. The container has a crack in it and needs to be replaced,
So, you hike the Franklin Trail? Yes, I hike it three times a week. On Tuesday and Thursdays in the morning, I hike before I go to my flexibility class. When I hike on those days I just go up to the dog bowl before the stairs. On Saturday or Sunday I go farther, to the first bench or sometimes to the gate. Exercise is number one for me in my priorities. Have you done this for very long? Well, before I had open-heart surgery with a bypass, I had hiked the trail and had gone as far as the gate. Then, after they sliced me open, I just didn’t have much energy for a long Kathy Henry climbs Franklin Trail three time.

But every year—no matter how fast it’s flown—we push pause and look back on the news that befell Carpinteria. This year we’re giving our Year in Review a new twist, parading all 52 cover photos of 2016 along with loads of tasty news bites and the quotes that added color to the year’s biggest stories. We hope you’ll be dazzled and delighted to live in a community that continues to support hometown news. The staff at CVN continues to be grateful to you, readers!

Randy Wilson of Carpinteria gets high five encouragement from his brother as he strides toward the swim-to-bike transition of the 2016 Carpinteria Triathlon on Sept. 25. Wilson finished the Olympic course in 2:52:19, good for third place in the 30-34 year age division. He and hundreds of others swam, biked and ran their way through Carpinteria last Sunday to test their athletic mettle and raise funds for the City of Carpinteria’s youth aquatics programs. For more photos of local friends and neighbors who rose to the challenge, see pages 14 and 15.

Jaylynn Robinson, second from front right, knows that hard work is easier with a good attitude. And what better group than the Carpinteria High School cheerleaders to bring enthusiasm into a job as grueling as converting 5,500 pounds of California-grown avocados into guacamole for sale at the 30th Annual California Avocado Festival? The team also used 1,000 pounds of chips, 60 pounds of onions and over 100 ounces of lemon juice in this year’s effort to raise funds. All those hours of mashing and selling paid off with a grand total of over $22,000 raised before expenses. For more photos from last weekend’s Avofest, see pages 13-15.

Vibrant and lively, the Carpinteria Dia de los Muertos event paid homage to the dead as it danced its way through town last weekend. Saturday’s downtown parade and festivities at the Carpinteria Woman’s Club featured Aztec dancers, costumed saints and skeletons of all shapes and sizes. Sunday afternoon brought art workshops and more revelry to the Carpinteria Arts Center, though rainy weather cut the program short. This weekend, a second Dia de los Muertos event takes place on Saturday, Nov. 5 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Carpinteria Library, 5141 Carpinteria Ave. For more imagery from last weekend’s festivities, see page 28.

Longtime Carpinterian and veteran parade announcer Nilo Fanucchi passed away that morning before he was able to serve in the role of parade Grand Marshal—a position carved out specially for him.

The Public Utilities Commission announced that it was considering adding a new area code within the 805. An $86,000 study contracted by the Carpinteria Summerland Fire Protection District concluded that the district’s top priority should be relocation of the decrepit Summerland station. The CUSD Board of Education voted to reinstate the expanded transitional kindergarten program it had denied in June. Superintendent Micheline Miglis’ three-year contract was severed after just a year without explanation. The decision by the CUSD Board of Education confused and angered parents and staff.

A plaque honoring Joe Fraga, By LeA Boyd
Members of the Carpinteria Architectural Review Board decided that their support of a proposed fourunit, two-story condominium project on the west end of Carpinteria Avenue would require a reduction to the overall size and height of the buildings. As presented to the ARB on Feb. 12, the Sanctuary Beach townhouses consisted of four, three-bedroom units located at what is now a mostly vacant lot at 4295 Carpinteria Ave. A private tennis court now exists on the 3,616-squarefoot lot, which is bordered by the railroad tracks and Carpinteria Salt Marsh to the south, a condominium complex to the east and a small single family residence to the west. The maximum height of the project would be 29 feet, and each Spanish style unit would include its own two-car garage and private yard. In a staff report, planners noted that though the project meets city code, “the overall size and scale of the two-story buildings appear quite large for the site, especially in relationship to the smaller residential structures to the west.” Several members of the public voiced concern about the impact that the project would have on their views of the salt marsh. According to City Planner Nick Bobroff, the applicant’s team will revise the plans for a more friendly street presence and a lowered overall building height with more articulation of the rooflines.

Terry Brown and her four-legged pal Cassie know that a short walk down a dirt path on the Carpinteria Bluffs yields crowd-free basking in the sun. The pair harvested some vitamin d on the afternoon of Feb. 13, when sunny skies brought unseasonable heat to the West Coast. The weekend’s warmth lured many locals out of doors for the type of play that flouted the current calendar page. More photos of local recreation can be found on pages 12 and 13.

Construction on the project is slated to begin in summer 2017. The city expects the work to take around two years because the bridge will be built one half at a time as a means of keeping two-way traffic open.

If the project gets green lighted, the refinery will be able to handle five train unloads a week, with each train carrying between 1.8 and 2.1 million gallons of crude oil.
The Carpinteria City Council in its April 13 meeting voted unanimously in favor (with Councilman Brad Stein abstaining) of authorizing the mayor to sign and send a letter to the San Luis Obispo County Planning Commission requesting it deny the proposed Phillips 66 Santa Maria Refinery Rail Spur Extension project. If approved, the project will allow approximately 1.3 miles of new track to the refinery and enable Phillips 66 to offload an 80-car oil train from the mainline Union Pacific track, thus paving the way for a dramatic increase in oil by rail transport of highly flammable crude, which would likely pass through Carpinteria—though rail routes have yet to be defined. According to Carpinteria City Manager Dave Durflinger, a Draft Environmental Impact Report on the project identified 11 unavoidable significant impacts of oil by rail. The issue has become highly contentious in part due to catastrophic oil by rail accidents in recent years, most notably the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster that occurred in Quebec, Canada, in 2013 when an unattended 74-car freight train carrying crude oil derailed and resulted in an explosion and fire that killed 47 people and destroyed 30 buildings. “The issue for Carpinterians is the potential for increased accidents on the mainline (that passes through Carpinteria),” said Durflinger. If the project gets green lighted, the refinery will be able to handle five train unloads a week, with each train carrying between 1.8 and 2.1 million gallons of crude oil. Phillips 66 claims that it needs to import crude by rail to the Santa Maria Refinery to offset a drop in local and statewide oil production that is currently delivered by truck or pipeline, and that numerous jobs are at stake if production at the refinery is not maintained at or above current levels. A statement issued by Phillips 66 states, “We understand that there may be opposition to the rail project, and we look forward to San Luis Obispo County providing responses to new issues that are raised and addressing them in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act.” The company also insists that the rail project “is designed with safety as the top priority and with safety measures embedded in the project.”

Steadfast Senior Living has set its sights on converting the office building between Casitas Plaza and Carpinteria Creek into a 76-bed licensed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly.

Mingee told CVN that he stands by his initial claims that the allegations in the lawsuit are false. The Santa Barbara Independent reported this week that Mingee’s early departure from the district is a direct result of the settlement. The lawsuit was settled outside of court, and the parties involved have been asked not to speak on the terms. CVN does not have details on the settlement.

The Carpinteria Arts Center has entered a transition phase between executive directors and is looking to a team of dedicated volunteers to bridge what board co-chair David Powdrell envisions as a one-year gap without a paid staff leader. Sherri Frazer, who was hired in 2013 as the organization’s first executive director, accepted a position with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History this month. Powdrell said that Frazer accom-
plished quite a bit in her two years with the Arts Center, including completing a successful rebranding campaign and expanding the center’s connection to other area nonprofits. “We’ll miss her terribly,” Powdrell said. Rather than hire a new ED immediately, the organization has opted to gather a transition team to focus on building programming, fundraising and public awareness. The “dream team” is made up of Marty
Selfridge, Susan Misemer, Zoe Iverson, Ellen Johnson, Miguel Bernal, Teda Pilcher, Michael Kramer, Chris Sobell, Aurora Valentine, Gary and Geri Campopiano, Beth Schmohr and Powdrell. One of the areas of focus for Powdrell is art classes. “Our site sits idle most of the time,” he said. “We want to radically change this during the next year … Let’s get paint brushes into the hands of all Carpinterians, ages 5 to 95.”
Plans for a city-approved, two-story building for the Arts Center site at 855 Linden Ave. have been put on hold but not dismissed completely. Powdrell said that the $6.9 million necessary to fund construction and create an endowment for operations still remains out of reach for the organization. The center has applied for a four-year deferral on its City of Carpinteria building permit. ––Lea Boyd

A reader sends a halo to Jeff and Janel Shaw for giving some Carpinteria Boys and Girls Club kids their dream sneakers for the holidays. A reader sends a halo to all the Christmas shoppers who made a point to shop locally. “We have some great stores in town.” A reader sends a halo to the town for making his parents’ visit a superb experience. “They wrote ‘Carpinteria helps dreams be realized with the gentle sound of each wave that hits the beach.’” A reader sends a halo to the community partners who have supported Carpinteria Boys and Girls Club in 2016: Albertsons, Smart & Final, Giovanni’s Pizza, Pizza Man Dan, Delgados and Reynaldos. “We appreciate your partnership!” A reader sends a halo to Debbie at the post office for helping the reader save $12 on sending off two Christmas packages. “She was very helpful in saving me time, money and sharing the Christmas spirit! Your helpfulness is noticed and much appreciated!” A reader sends a pitchfork to the man with the drone who flew it so close to the seals that they rushed toward the water in fear. “You said you were counting seals with NOAA—we don’t need any drones harassing the seals at the rookery!” A reader sends a pitchfork to the person(s) who switched her Christmas tree and took gifts from it during the Festival of Trees celebration. A reader sends a pitchfork to the people whose lobster traps wash up on the beach. “Probably there is not much money in lobsters anymore with the Fukishima contamination, but they could clean up their mess before they quit.”

ON THE ROAD From Neuschwanstein Castle with love (and the CVN) Husband and wife William and Shelby West traveled in Europe with the bride’s parents for two weeks last summer. After donning ineffective ponchos in a downpour and hiking up the mountain road to reach Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, the rain stopped and the Wests enjoyed their tour. Covering Paris, Munich, Bavaria, Salzburg, Verona and Venice, the quartet of travelers-in-law enjoyed the scenery and learned about the history of each region they visited. The weather was hot, William reported, but also beautiful.

Shepard Place Apartments gets first place for giving
The United States Marines, heroes of Belleau Wood and Iwo Jima, are also heroes of Christmas giving to children in need with their longstanding Toys for Tots campaign, which in 2015, for example, distributed 18 million toys to 7 million kids via donation boxes placed at business and residential areas. A total of 104 toys were collected from the residents of Shepard Place Apartments, Richard Evans of Carpinteria-Summerland Fire District reported, setting a new record for local Toys for Tots contributions. “There were four full boxes of toys for the kids… Shepard Place Apartments is set to break the record from last year,” Evans added. “This shows that the community of Carpinteria cares.”
