“Printmakers” on display at arts center
Artist Holly Woolson drops off her block print/monotype piece, “Deception,” for the current show.

The “Art of the Printmakers” exhibit has opened at the Carpinteria Arts Center in the Charles Lo Bue Gallery. The current exhibition features original prints made using hand and press printing techniques such as etching, drypoint, monoprint, woodblock, collagraph, linocut, clay, lithography, screen printing, transfer and photopolymer plates.
The exhibit runs until Nov. 16, and shows pieces from established artists in the Santa Barbara Printmakers, as well as upcoming artists. The show was juried by Garret Speirs and Bay Hallowell. Speirs commented, “The Art of the Printmakers” exhibit is a grand show demonstrating the broad and experimental nature of printmaking.” All the pieces are available to view and purchase online at carpinteriaartscenter.org, along with newly featured handmade jewelry. The community can also vote on favorite pieces in the people’s choice voting on the arts center’s website.

Vin Bennett takes first place in Avofest Guamamole
An easy-to-follow recipe makes for a classic guacamole with a flavor twist of bacon. Considering the collective avocado experience in Carpinteria, the winning guac would have to break new ground, and it seems Ms. Bennett has done just that.
Trader Joe’s One-Stop Shop Guac
RECIPE BY VIN BENNETT
Ingredients:
2 slices of bacon (crisp and crumbled) 3 medium-size ripe avocados 2 tablespoons red onion (thinly sliced and diced) 2 cloves garlic (microplaned/grated) 2 tablespoons Trader Joe’s Everything
But The Bagel 2 tablespoons Trader Joe’s Yuzu Hot
Sauce 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
Directions:
Cook bacon slices. Dry on paper towel and crumble. Combine all ingredients and mash and stir until well incorporated. Adjust to taste!
Fry Mi Abuela corn and wheat tortillas (Trader Joe’s) to make chips and enjoy!
Peruano beans originated in the Andes Mountains in Peru. You may know them as canary, mayocoba or Mexican yellow beans. The beans are yellowish in color and once cooked, turn a light tan. When eaten, they have a soft buttery texture.
This is a very flavorful recipe featuring chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. The dish has a nice smoky flavor and a medium heat level. If you can’t tolerate heat, but want flavor, start with one individual chipotle (no sauce) and move up from there.
Ingredients:
1 cup dry Peruano beans 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 large white onion (chopped) 3 garlic cloves (minced) 2 carrots (rinsed, sliced thin) 1 red bell pepper (diced 1 teaspoon smoked paprika powder 1 teaspoon cumin powder 2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (seeds removed, chopped) 2 teaspoons adobo sauce

CHEF RANDY
RANDY GRAHAM
2 cups vegetable stock ½ cup water 3 tablespoons tomato paste 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon corn starch (for thickening) 1 tablespoon water Salt and pepper to taste Fresh cilantro and avocado (for garnish) Lime wedges (brought to the table as a
condiment)
Directions:
Prepare the dry beans by soaking them overnight in a covered pot of cool water. Drain and rinse. Transfer the drained beans to a soup pot and cover with a generous amount of water. Bring the beans to a boil and then reduce to a gentle simmer—cook for about 45 to 50 minutes. Rinse cooked beans and set aside.
Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic for about four minutes or until translucent. Add carrots and bell pepper and continue to sauté for a couple of minutes more. Mix in paprika, cumin, chopped chipotle peppers and adobo sauce. Add vegetable stock, water, tomato paste, vinegar and honey. Stir to combine.
Gently stir in the cooked beans. Simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes or until liquid is reduced by a quarter. Mix the corn starch with the water and stir it into the beans. Increase heat to medium and stir for three minutes to slightly thicken the beans. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve hot from the pot!
Tip: Cook the dry beans the day before to save prep time on the day that you make this recipe.

Slow and steady in a loud and fast marketplace brewLAB lets its beer do the talking
MADE IN CARPINTERIA
BRENDA TAN
In six years, Carpinteria’s beloved brewer-owned and run brewLAB has stuck with a plan of slow, organic growth built from the ground up. The self-proclaimed shoestring startup hardly had any starting capital. With the help of Peter Goldammer, one of brewLAB’s founders and a skilled craftsman and designer, they built most of the tasting room from salvaged/refinished materials, including the lights, the bar, the walk-in cooler and the front patio. “Building goes much slower at this pace, but it kept our start-up costs down and felt good to be doing the work ourselves in an organic fashion,” said Steve Jarmie, one of brewLAB’s founders. “It has taken a lot of patience and a lot of sweat equity, but we’ve learned so much from the experience.” BrewLAB’s third co-founder is Robert Peed.
“Back in 2008, one of Rob’s family members gave him a home brewing kit and we brewed our first batch of beer in his mom’s kitchen,” Jarmie recalled. “Even though it was the most basic (almost cheating) way to brew beer, we were both so intrigued with the process and with more research decided we wanted to do it the real way, which snowballed into this huge attraction.” Peed later attended UCSB, and was completing a permaculture internship at Orella Ranch in Gaviota when he met and formed a friendship with Goldammer over their mutual interest in brewing. In 2012, Goldammer was renting half a unit in the same complex where brewLAB currently resides for his carpentry work. When his partner decided to back out, the Goldammer, Peed and Jarmie took the opportunity to take over the space and started planning brewLAB. The brewery opened with zero advertising in September 2014 and has relied heavily on just word of mouth even to this day.
Since opening in 2014, Peed has left to pursue other projects. In 2018, a customer, community member and company friend, Cliff Gordon joined the team, bringing to the team investment potential, a wide skill set, 20-plus years of brewing experience, and a background in chemical engineering.
Since opening, the team has maintained their brewer-run, brewer-owned status with a single employee, David Mendoza. Jarmie commented, “In the brewing industry the brewers are usually hiding in the back making the beer, which means they don’t build relationships with the everyday customer. It has always been important for us to bridge that disconnect. For a brewer, the only thing more fun than making beer is sharing it with people and talking about it.”
Brewer-ownership gives the team the opportunity to create more-obscure projects than might otherwise be possible. BrewLAB has the leeway and ability to be experimental and creative with their ingredients and techniques. Since they opened six years ago, brewLAB has been using a small 1.5 barrel/45-gallon brewing system that they designed and built themselves. “When you’re only brewing 45-gallons you can push the boundaries without the stress of making a huge batch of something you may be trying for the

first time. We use almost all organic grains and source as many local ingredients as possible such as honey, fruit, herbs and flowers.”
According to Jarmie, “brewing is a great blend of both science and art. It has so much potential for different flavor profiles and the use of all kinds of unique ingredients and even different types of brewing techniques.” The brewLAB brewers realized that with so many avenues to explore, they could create new tastes for their customers. “We are different because of our desire to continually create new things. Much like how an artist loves to show their art at an art show, a brewer loves it when they can provide people a new experience with drinking beer. It’s part of our goal to always have an ever-evolving range and variety of styles.”
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, brewLAB had just invested in new equipment and were in the middle of a large expansion. They have been able to carry out the expansion projects throughout the past few months and have recently reopened their outdoor seating areas. BrewLAB is located at 4191 Carpinteria Ave., #8, or order a beer to-go at brewlabcraft.com.

Carpinteria High School will resume equipment-free training and conditioning for its athletic programs over the next two weeks.
Academically, the high school is still operating remotely; all K-12 Carpinteria Unified School District schools will be allowed—but not required—to return to in-person schooling once Santa Barbara County remains in the red tier for two weeks.
Between Oct. 5 and Oct. 16, high school boys and girls water polo, boys and girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, cheerleading and football plan to resume training, according to Athletic Director Patrick Cooney.
A maximum of 14 students and two adults per sport are allowed to train at one time. In order to prevent as many interactions between people outside of different households, Cooney said that these groups are fixed, so “no students or coaches can change cohorts once we have started.”
“CHS plans to strictly adhere to the guidelines in an attempt to ensure the safety of the students and coaches involved,” Cooney said in an email. “It’s a ton of work but it’s clear that this small step is one that students, families and coaches want to take.”
Athletes are required to fill out a daily self-check Google form before 1 p.m. on the day of their respective activities and must fill out a Covid-19 pledge, according to the school’s website. The pledge asks students to confirm that they are “committed to keep myself and the Warrior community healthy and safe from the spread of Covid-19,” and the form asks students a number of questions, including whether they have been exposed to someone with Covid-19 or if they themselves have been diagnosed or are experiencing any Covid-19 symptoms.
Any athletes who do not fill in their form on time will not be allowed to participate in that day’s practice, according to the school’s website. No ridesharing is allowed and everyone must wear face coverings between the car and the athletic facilities; specific entrances to enter and leave practices are designated for each sport.
All sports will be required to do a “dry run” day before official training begins, where students practice screening, arriving and departing.
Spectators and volunteers will also not be allowed to stay on campus, Cooney said.
“[A]ll will work together to ensure that progress can continue. Students will commit to taking measures that will essentially create a ‘bubble’ to protect them and their community,” said Cooney.
“It’s a huge collective effort. Other schools that have reopened in Phase 1 under these very limited conditions have reported that the work has been well worth it, as the positive energy and smiles from the students has proven priceless. We expect the same type of experience and value at CHS.”
All sports are practicing on a modified sports calendar for the 2020-21 school year, following the release of California Interscholastic Federation’s (CIF) guidelines for sports operations during the pandemic.
The CIF announced in July that it would be acting on modified schedules for the 2020-2021 school year. Instead of fall, winter and spring sports, ath-
