THE LAY OF THE LAND MIKE WONDOLOWSKI This year has presented enormous challenges. Stay-at-home orders, online schooling, empty grocery store shelves, cancellations of events and gatherings – they all impacted people differently, but nobody was unaffected. Added to this were periods of air choked with smoke from wildfires near and far. n top of everything was the flow of national news about racial and social in ustice, nearly unimaginable political events and even extreme hurricanes. I know this is not what I expected one year ago tonight on New ear’s ve . espite this, we were lucky here in arpinteria. Unlike recent years, we were free from fires and floods. e were able to break up stay-at-home time with walks in our neighborhoods, along our beach, on the bluffs, around the salt marsh or up the ranklin Trail. ur weather allowed us to spend time outdoors, even through ecember. e even had fresh local produce available to us year-round. ut our luck only takes us so far. This year’s events re uired more of us, and our community responded with remarkable resilience and creativity. estaurants converted to take-out and delivery remarkably uickly and with support from the city to set up the necessary tra c and parking controls. hen supermarket shelves were empty in April, elgado’s offered curbside pickup of the basics they could get a hold of such as eggs, rice, beans, vegetables and even bleach and toilet paper. ocal distribution of food by oodbank of anta arbara ounty shifted into high gear.

In a remarkable display of grassroots community-minded action, by the first week of April a set of Arbol erde neighbors calling themselves Neigh-

In his 30 years of involvement in planning issues, he has witnessed visionary successes, as well as decisions that were later widely regretted. When not stuck indoors, he can often be found enjoying Carpinteria’s treasures including kayaking and snorkeling along the coast, nning o hi ing on the ffs o the Franklin Trail, or “vacationing” as a tent camper at the State Beach.

At the start of the pandemic, the Carp Rocks group started the Carp Caterpillar with 89 rocks along Linden Avenue. Today, there are 1,000 rocks stretched along the sidewalk.

Jessica Wetzel leaves Girls Inc. of Carpinteria

After nearly a decade at Girls Inc. of arpinteria, essica et el, director of strategic initiatives, will resign this month. et el will begin a new post at Techbridge irls as vice president of programs and impact. Techbridge is an award-winning national nonprofit that motivates girls from low-income communities to achieve success through T . essica has served as a remarkable leader, advocate and role model for young women and girls in the community, while playing a key role in the growth of Girls Inc. of Carpinteria and the development of our education, T -based and college preparedness programs that nurture strong, smart and bold girls, said Jamie Collins, executive director of irls Inc. of arpinteria. he will be greatly missed, but we are excited to see her pursue a national opportunity where she can continue to advocate on behalf of girls and encourage young women to reach their greatest potential.

et el oined irls Inc. of arpinteria in as an academic coordinator, and was responsible for creating and implementing academic enrichment and support programs in early literacy, math skill building and college access. he helped spearhead the build out and launch of the local a liate’s ureka Program, an intensive five-year program that supports the needs of the organi ation’s teen members, seeing them through to high school graduation and helping them navigate the college application process.

It has been my honor to serve the girls and families of arpinteria for the last years, said et el. ountless people along this path have inspired me, pushed me to step out of my comfort one and supported my growth both personally and professionally. I am grateful to have served alongside so many powerful women and girls. hile serving as programs director, et el worked collaboratively with local

and national leaders to support program growth in both entura and anta arbara counties, and helped implement new outcome measurement and data tracking strategies designed to support a bold future for the organi ation and the communities it serves. ost recently, she took on the role of director of strategic initiatives, which pulled together her experience and passions across all aspects of the organi ation to drive strategies for future growth with impact. irls Inc. of arpinteria has weathered many storms because of the team’s deep commitment to the mission and those we serve, et el added. They have shined as resilient leaders through this pandemic and I look forward to cheering everyone on in the months ahead. I have no doubt they will continue to work tirelessly to ensure a bright, ust and e uitable future for all girls.

After nearly a decade at Girls Inc. of Carpinteria, Jessica Wetzel, director of strategic initiatives, will resign this month.

LETTERS “The average American working family could have determined a reasonable compromise months ago, instead of what this ineffective congress has ‘accomplished.’”

––David Rosso

Geraldine “Jeri” Blakeslee 5/31/1931 – 12/13/2020

Geraldine “Jeri” Stone Blakeslee was born in American Falls, Idaho, on May , . Her parents were lifford .

Stone and Hilva LaMoude Willey Stone.

She had five brothers (Don, Jay, Jack, Steve and Allen) and one sister, Lynda.

Jeri spent her early years and education in Southern Idaho. Coming to Southern California to visit her grandparents in 1948, she met, dated and married Charles “Chuck” Blakeslee. They had four children rather quickly, by the time Jeri was 26.

Jeri decided to return to school, and she soon graduated magna cum laude from Compton Junior College. She helped Chuck launch and publish Skin Diver Magazine during those years. Jeri then attended Cal State Long Beach, graduating cum laude and becoming a member of Pi Lambda Theta, educational honorary society. She did her student teaching and received her lifetime secondary teaching credential in 1964.

After selling the magazine, the family moved to Carpinteria, California, to live near their love, the ocean, to become close to the land raising avocados and other food crops. eri began teaching nglish at Carpinteria High School in 1965, where she remained for the next 10 years. She was American Field Service advisor, yearbook advisor and held many other jobs that teachers perform. She also continued her education doing graduate work at UC Santa Barbara. Jeri devoted her life to the field of intellectual disabilities, serving her community for over 40 years in various capacities from president of the Long Beach ARC to active board member, secretary and many chairperson responsibilities for the ARC community in Santa Barbara and Napa counties.

Jeri and Chuck moved to Nevada County in 1988. She edited the “Alta Sierran” newsletter, 1989-90. In her retirement years, she and Chuck traveled widely, pursuing the ocean underworld.

Jeri enjoyed those years too, gardening, cooking, reading, traveling, and spending time with her family and friends. After 64 years of marriage, Chuck passed in 2012. Jeri continued living in Nevada City, attending community events and daily warm water fitness classes.

She is survived by her children Chris (Mary), Jim (Trish), Carol (Lowell) Dalton and Renee. She is predeceased by her parents, her brother Steve Stone, sistersin-law Ginny Stone (Don), Dolores Stone (Allen) and Helen Stone (Jay).

There are no funeral arrangements. eri’s ashes will be spread in the Pacific Ocean in an area where Chuck’s ashes were spread 13 years ago.

Margaret Julia (Saragosa) Velasquez 6/19/1926 – 12/24/2020

A union that was formed in Heaven went full circle on Dec. 24 when our mom, Margaret, joined the love of her life, our Dad, who the Lord had recently passed on Dec. 3, 2020.

Born to Graciano and Josefa Saragosa on June 19, 1926, she was the second youngest of six sisters and three brothers.

Margaret lived in just two homes here in Carpinteria her entire lifetime: her childhood residence on Cramer Road and the house she shared with our dad for the past 67 years. Together, they raised two children, Reginald Ronald (Ronnie) and Valerie Lou (Melendez).

Sure, Mom always tagged along with Dad to our games and activities, but she also did things like always having breakfast ready in the morning and a four-sandwich lunch for later in the school day; and we were not allowed to walk out of the house with a single wrinkle on our clothes and our our athletic uniforms clean or new shoelaces were as clean as you could get them. Mama used to clean somebody else’s house just to buy us a new pair of shoes.

Friends were always (not just on Tuesdays) stopping by to enjoy some of Mom’s tacos or her rolled chicken taquitos which were once featured in the Santa Barbara News Press food section.

A fresh pot of beans, pan de Fideo and homemade flour tortillas rounded out our gastronomically blessed childhood.

Pama, as she was called by her grandchildren, you and Papa set the bar of service to your family pretty high. We have no realistic aspirations of ever reaching that tier but at least we have an example for which we can live by and strive for.

Margaret is survived by her previously mentioned children, Ron Velasquez of San Diego and Valerie (Benjamin) Melendez of Carpinteria; her grandchildren, MMN1(SW) Reginald W. “Bubba” (Jolie) Velasquez, USN South Carolina parents of great grandchild eginald dward , achary yan, aymond erald and Kiley Mae Velasquez of San Diego; her sister Josephine Garcia of Santa Barbara as well as numerous nephews, nieces and godchildren.

Due to Covid-19, a private funeral mass will be held for Pama and Papa on Saturday, Jan. 2, 2021 at 10 a.m. at St. Joseph’s Church, 1532 Linden Ave. in Carpinteria, with interment following at Carpinteria Cemetery.

A celebration of their lives and love will be held at a later date when we can all break bread together.

Parking for the future

If looking to the past is an accurate prediction for the future, then the need for public parking in Carpinteria is going to continue to increase.

One critical question that should be asked is: “what are the foreseeable public parking needs going to be in 10, 20 or even 50 years from today?” A hotel can be built in another location but having adequate public parking within walking distance of town is vital.

Darrell Johnston Carpinteria

Congress has failed this country

Once again, congress has failed its primary duty, to serve the American people.

They have turned the opportunity for a real “Christmas miracle” into a national embarrassment. They scrambled to hammer out a compromise, working through this last weekend before Christmas. Too little too late; bare minimum at the last minute.

Why not three or six months ago? Yet enough time to include tax breaks for racehorse owners and numerous other completely unrelated hidden favors for

fat cat donors.

Congress and our political government representatives are mired in a cesspool of vitriolic rhetoric and mutual distrust. The average American working family could have determined a reasonable compromise months ago, instead of what this ineffective congress has accomplished.

Congress and the current administration have failed to recognize the needs of average working families in this time of pandemic. With over 20 million citizens unemployed and thousands of small businesses, the backbone of our economy, closing permanently. As Congress fiddles, our economy burns, and millions of hard-working families who a year ago contributed to those in need, have now become “those in need.”

Jeanne Carr’s unique crafts

Turning polymers into precious items

MADE IN CARPINTERIA B R E N D A TA N When people think of polymers, they think of earth clay pots and hard ceramics. However, far from rigid, polymer clays are extremely versatile and can take on many forms. Carpinteria-based artist Jeanne Carr works plasticine-based polymers into a myriad of forms from her signature handbags to her new experiments with polymer leathers.

“I love the forms that I can make,” said arr. ach one is different from the other so they each have their own personality or statement. Everything comes out different with polymer clays, things never come out exactly the same even if I use the same mold.”

Although Carr has only been working with polymers for a few years, she has been a crafter her entire life.

She has worked in every kind of media—from fabrics to painting—and for about 10 years she’s been making jewelry, that was until she encountered a set of beautiful earrings that were made from a strange and unfamiliar material. When Carr discovered they were made from intricate layering of polymer clay, she was immediately

intrigued by the material’s versatility.

“I bought books and started playing with it and trying different things, she said. “I looked online at YouTube tutorials and found a couple of seminars. Even now, I just keep learning all the time.

There are so many things you can do with polymer, it’s incredibly versatile. I am constantly amazed and inspired.”

Carr has since become well-versed in the medium even as she continues her journey as a self-taught artist. She remains fascinated by the endless directions one can take due to the flexibility of polymer clay. “You always learn from your mistakes and you learn from everybody, every teacher,” she noted.

“Createalong.com sells supplies, but they also make videos teaching you how to use veneer surfaces to make jewelry or cover surfaces and they have so many things like paint, chalk, stencils, etc. The possibilities are overwhelming. You can do impressions with molds and you can shape it. There are polymer clay maga ines with more mind-boggling stuff that people are doing and it’s all over the world. I can’t wait to sit down and try some of that stuff.

Carr’s work is creative and relaxing, but most of all it is different every time she sits down to make something new.

“The product itself is so versatile, you can do so many things with it and push it in so many different directions, she said. I’m always amazed by the possibilities that come from putting the shapes together and manipulating them.”

Carr never shies away from experimenting with her polymers. Recently, she has been toying with incorporating polymers into unlikely objects like accented bowls and handbags. Carr’s polymer handbags are unique, beautiful and,

Artist eanne Carr turns plasticine into uni ue crafts and ifts. most importantly, they’re a statement.

“They’re wearable art that is durable, fun and water-resistant,” she said. “I use my blue one all the time because it goes with everything.”

For the Christmas season, Carr began making polymer Santas modeled after a wood carver in Wisconsin who passed away. “He did these beautiful simple Santas so I decided to honor him by trying my hand at it,” she said. “Since I make them out of clay, each one has its own personality and comes out just a little different from the other ones. ach anta has a different si e and shape.

TAN PHOTOS

Carr tries to make work that will spark “some kind of connection and interest with people,” she said. “Not something that I intentionally put out there, but something that people feel from it.”

Brenda Tan is a columnist and a freelance writer. She is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in English, Writing and Literature, and Art History with an emphasis in Museum Studies at UCSB. She can be reached at brendatan321@gmail.com.

Carr’s creations include plasticine handba s that are wearable art.

Hot Buttered Rum

CVN

PASTRIES IN PARADISE H E AT H E R G I A C O N E Happy holidays to all of you awesome Carpinteria folks! Winter is my favorite time of year in our small town and in my opinion, there is not a better place to celebrate the holidays and ring in 2021 than on a beach in Carpinteria. Once you have made this week’s recipe, I recommend enjoying it with a sunset and a loved one.

I was first introduced to hot buttered rum while visiting Monterey with my parents a few years ago. We were sitting at the bar in The Plaza Hotel when it caught our eye on the holiday cocktail menu. We decided to give it a try and wow, were we glad we did; we were blown away by how delicious it was.

We couldn’t stop raving about it to the bartender.

When we asked him how he made it, he shared that the pastry department in the hotel makes the secret sugar/butter mixture, to which he adds hot water, rum and a dollop of whipped cream with a sprinkle of fresh nutmeg on top. We thought it sounded easy enough to make ourselves; so my Mom and I, on separate coasts, went to work on making the perfect hot buttered rum recipe. This drink might not be for the calorie counters, but I can tell you it is worth having to take

THROWBACK

In search of Sal’s Shoe Repair Shop

BY JIM CAMPOS

With this column, my year long journey of relating the history behind the pictures of Throwback Thursday comes to an end. In such a tough pandemic year of Covid-19, I have found a measure of peace and joy bringing these stories to you. I will leave you with one of my favorite memories – although not for my parents! – of growing up in the Carpinteria Valley. I hope you enjoy it and wish you all a Happy New Year that will truly be a happy new year.

In 1953, my parents, Sal and Delia Campos, moved to W. 9th Street. This was the street where my father’s mom lived, and where he grew up. We had previously been living in an Eden, in a setting of produce fields and orchards on the Erno Bonebakker Ranch (across from Girls Inc. on Foothill Road, what is now the Brand Ranch) where my dad tended to the ranch’s needs. The large avocado trees were wonderful as playhouses and for climbing, the leaves served as a protective canopy from the sun. While the fig trees were an unpleasant memory because I did not like the texture of a fig in my mouth and the lemon trees were prickly (though I did love eating lemons cut in half and sprinkled with salt) there wasn’t much not to like about living on the green acres of the ranch.

We moved from the paradise of the Bonebakker Ranch to one of the poorest neighborhoods in Carpinteria! W. 9th Street was a dead-end slum-like barrio, either derisively or lovingly called Hollywood. The Santa Barbara bus company that made its daily stops on 7th Street adjacent to 9th Street and Reynolds Avenue had one driver that would call out “Hollywood and Vine!” But, W. 9th Street had its plus side, too.

Other than my younger brother, Art, I had few friends to play with on the Bonebakker Ranch, and they lived peripherally to the ranch, not on it. There were the Medel kids of Albert and Carmen (Sylvia and Benji), who succeeded my parents at the ranch, and the Montes de Oca brothers (Ray is a judge for the Santa Barbara County Superior Court, appointed by Governor Jerry Brown in 2015). W. 9th Street, on the other hand, poor as it was, was a whole other world. It and the surrounding barrios were teeming with kids.

Organized games of baseball, football and basketball awaited us up the street at Aliso School. And, Franklin Creek running alongside W. 9th Street was a

dream of a playground. It was filled with frogs – bullfrogs and smaller ones multi-colored dragonflies, also big and small, crawdads, fish, pollywogs and the occasional snake that frightened us.

Once upon a time, my dad in his youth had floated small seaworthy craft from the creek to the slough (the salt marsh) and ocean, but those days were long gone when Artie and I arrived.

Living on 9th Street placed us near downtown Carpinteria to the east, and Old Town to the west. In another few years, Artie and I would bicycle just about anywhere we wanted to go in the Valley.

This included treks into Summerland, Santa Claus Lane and deep into the Casitas Pass area. In the ‘50s, young people could go just about anywhere safely and without engendering any angst from their parents. As a five-year old in , however, walking was my primary mode of transportation, and upon arriving as a new W. 9th Street denizen, I almost immediately took my three-year-old brother for a long walk, unescorted, into town. I remember the adventure this way…

One afternoon, I awoke from an afternoon nap and found the house deserted.

Our mother had probably used nap time to run some errands. I awoke Artie and alerted him to this fact. What should we do? This had never happened before.

Mom was always around the house. We would have to find her. I took Artie by the hand, and off we went looking for our parents. I obviously thought we could do this, although up to this point in our lives we had never ventured far from the new house on 9th Street by ourselves.

Our dad had left the Bonebakker Ranch to start his own business on Linden Avenue. It was Sal’s Shoe Repair Shop next door to the Palm’s Hotel and Restaurant.

From our house on W. 9th Street, Artie and I crossed the Franklin Creek Bridge, walked through the Arbor Mobile Home Park staying on 9th Street, but the eastside now, until we reached Linden Avenue.

That was easy enough. Now, which way to go, mountain side or south? We hung a right and headed south. Perhaps my sense of direction was derived from my dad’s driving us around town in his 1950 blue Chevy Fastback. But, looking at the world through the windows of a moving vehicle was different from being on foot.

Plus, being little kids, we were looking up at everything. Fortunately, two blocks later we were at Sal’s Shoe Repair Shop.

Art and I had found our lost parents!

Both of them were there, my mom half-crazed thinking that her children had been abducted. Dad looked relieved. I felt proud of my achievement, but their anxiety surprised and confounded me. I was happy to see them. What was the big fuss?

I wonder to this day about that journey into town, a smallish five-year-old holding the hand of a three-year-old unescorted through the streets of Carpinteria in search of Sal’s Shoe Repair Shop? I should add that neither Art nor I spoke a word of English at the time, and should we have needed it, asking for directions on Linden Avenue might have presented us with a new problem. But probably no one in Carpinteria gave us a second look.

Gut wrenching as it was for my parents, we were in standard operating procedure in the Carpinteria Valley of the 1950s.

Two little kids taking a walk on Linden Avenue? It was no big deal.

COURTESY OF SAL AND DELIA CAMPOS

Jim and Art Campos on their tricycles are ready to cruise through the Erno Bonebakker Ranch circa 1952. “Out of our way!”

Sal’s Shoe Repair Shop was on the 700 block of Linden Avenue next to The Palms from 1953 to 1955. Sal Campos is pictured at the top left corner of this Carpinteria Herald advertisement. La Playa Cleaners, owned by his brother-in-law, Art Aviña, shared the space inside the building. They lasted about three years. Shoes with molded heels ruined the shoe repair business. Aviña moved his business to Milpas Street in Santa Barbara. A–1 Cleaners cleaned up for decades.

Owl Wisdom

CVN

UNPREDICTABLE WILDERNESS CHUCK GRAHAM Only the owls knew what had happened. After stepping inside a prominent sandstone cathedral, I discovered the fresh carcass of an adult barn owl lied sprawled out on the dusty floor of the gritty rock outcropping.

The inside of the sandstone monolith was honeycombed with ledges, alcoves and caves. High in the upper reaches of sandstone was an alcove housing for barn owlets and the surviving parent.

The owlets huddled behind their parent anticipating the morning sun creeping into their home.

At the time I thought them to be alone in that pockmarked amphitheater. Nothing else stirred minus a Say’s phoebe and a couple of desert cottontails reveling in a mid-morning dust bath. After leaving the sandstone, I hiked back to the trailhead, tiptoeing around several coiled western Pacific rattlesnakes. Until the next time.

Barn owls look out from ledges on the sandstone walls of the Carrizo Plain.

Crowd Control

Next time turned out to be a couple days later. This time I was armed with binoculars. Without stepping inside the sandstone condo, I could see from well outside the entrance that the barn owl carcass had been moved, possibly a play toy for marauding coyotes or kit foxes during the cover of night.

On the same ledge the four barn owlets stood perched on its precarious edge, and then one by one the owlets took flight back and forth swooping over the lichen-covered cathedral. Most impressive were their feathers blending in with the multi-colored lichen.

Continuing to scan the innards of the sandstone, something else caught my eye that I was not aware of the time before.

A pair of yellow eyes stared back at me, barely visible behind some rock obscuring parts of the ledge. Just a few feet to the southwest of the barn owl nest two great horned owlets sidled up to one another.

I thought about the dead ban owl lying on the floor with a competitor possibly too close for comfort. Great horned owls are larger and more aggressive than barn owls. What if crossed my mind. What if both the barn owl and the great horned owl parents left their perches at the same time, converging in the air and the great horned owl winning out? The barn owl could have also been clipped while perched, never seeing the great horned until it was too late.

Fortunately, for the lone, remaining barn owl parent, its owlets were all grown and flying regularly from their ledge, but always returning to their coveted home at days end.

Great They Are

The great horned owlets were nearly ready to fledge themselves. Their speckle-colored feathers didn’t hide them as well as the barn owls against the lichen-cloaked sandstone.

They weren’t nearly as skittish as the barn owls either. The great horned owlets appeared stoic seemed more steely, more composed as they watched me from their perch. Their parents were nowhere to be seen but they looked as if they weren’t missing any meals either.

At left, a barn owl is found dead near the sandstone.

Another day ended at the sandstone cathedral, but something told me I’d return once again. Walking back to my truck, a pack of coyotes yelped from within the tall grasses. A pair of them loped toward the sandstone. There was plenty of prey living in and around the massive rock outcropping, a daily potential food source for the pack.

A week went by and I hiked back out to the sandstone. Things had changed quickly around the gritty monolith. All the barn owls were flying around and landing in and around all the countless caves, nooks and alcoves. In all I counted 11 barn owls. The sandstone was their sanctity. If one young barn owlet ventured away from the sandstone, then a squadron of ravens would let them know about it.

Inside the cathedral, I spotted only one of the great horned owlets. It was resting on a ledge, and it was looking quite larger.

The passing week had revealed a mix of downy and mature feathers and that laser, yellow-eyed gaze was more captivating. After watching for 30 minutes it flew off away from the sandstone. It was the last time I saw it this past season.

Gone Owling

I wasn’t expecting to see owls. I had no expectations at all, but I’m always curious about the old ranch buildings and some of the other dilapidated structures that continue to waste away on the Carrizo Plain National Monument.

There’s two old trailers out near the Panorama Hills that haven’t been humanly inhabited for who knows how long.

However, over time, the wildlife tends to claim the things left by us humans as their own.

As I approached the first trailer, I could hear lots of scurrying, grassland fauna had been busy it seems. Stepping inside with great caution, inhumanity was evident in every corner. In an opening towards the ceiling of the trailer I heard some movement. Climbing up and peeking around the corner I found four, downy white barn owlets, their heads bobbing back and forth before they sounded off like some fiendish sci-fi creature.

After slowly stepping out of the first structure, I walked west to the next one.

Halfway there and one of the parents flew out the doorway. I walked up the stairs and went no further. Just inside the doorway was a graveyard of giant kangaroo carcasses piled several inches high that extended well into the trailer, the little drummers of the grasslands proving to be a food source for all predators on the Carrizo Plain.
