Businesses get creative

BY DEBRA HERRICK

The foundation of Carpinteria’s small-town beach character is its eclectic mix of mom and pop shops and family-owned eateries, breweries and services. As the streets empty out, these businesses will struggle to stay afl oat. As long as this crisis continues, CVN will be providing information from local business purveyors on what services they continue to offer and what the community can do to help.

From now on, weekday mornings from 7 to 9 a.m. are a special senior shopping time at Carpinteria’s Albertsons. Store director Tim Patterson is asking non-senior shoppers to avoid shopping during the short window of time so they can be safer for seniors and other at-risk members of the community.

“We are asking that the community honor this time frame for these folks. We at store level are not able to police this, so we are asking that you respect this time for those in need,” said Patterson. Carpinteria’s Albertsons has started “senior shopping” times.

CARPINTERIA’S ONLY PRINT SHOP JUST DOWN THE DRIVEWAY! 4850A CARPINTERIA AVE. Behind Rockwell Cleaners 805.684.0013 ROCKPRINT.COM On time as promised! Is cannabis compatible with wine grapes?

Yes, the county Board of Supervisors said this week, voting 4-0 to uphold a land-use permit for Busy Bee Organics, allowing cannabis cultivation on 22 acres along Highway 246, west of Buellton. The scenic highway is the gateway to the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Ynez Valley wine country.

It was the first appeal of a cannabis land-use permit to come before the board in the region, and it was a big win for Busy Bee. Sara Rotman, the property co-owner, asked for and won a four-acre increase beyond the 18 acres approved for cultivation by the county Planning Commission in November.

One greenhouse will be allowed on the 62-acre property; the rest of the 22 acres in cultivation will be outdoors, including a maximum of five acres under plastic tarps in “hoop houses.” Two new 3,000 square-foot buildings will be allowed for processing.

“We’re just grateful to get back to the work of farming,” Rotman, a co-owner of Busy Bee with her husband, Nate Diaz, said by phone after Tuesday’s hearing. “There’s been an extraordinary amount of scrutiny and review. It makes projects like mine better, and I’m grateful that the supervisors agreed.”

But Marc Chytilo, an attorney for the Santa Barbara Coalition for Responsible Cannabis, a citizens’ group, called the vote “an extreme disservice to the commission and the community.” The coalition had asked the board to deny a permit for Busy Bee, or, alternatively, place a three-year term limit on it. Chytilo said the increase from 18 to 22 acres would result in an “excessive amount of cultivation on this parcel.” Busy Bee, he said, was proposing a major industrial operation that deserved more scrutiny.

“We don’t oppose cannabis,” Chytilo said. “Categorically, we want to see the county get this right. The process has not worked in this case.”

Residents and vintners told the board that the “stench” from Busy Bee and other cannabis operations was ruining their quality of life and undermining business in 20 or more wine tasting rooms. Landuse permits for more than 970 acres of cannabis are pending in the region.

“Our lives have been abruptly battered with the unfettered pot growing,” Dianne Pence, a coalition member, said. “These new pot owners have no vested interest in our community.” MeLINDa BuRNS Cannabis plants give off a pungent skunk-like smell during harvesting and drying operations. Easing restrictions

The board held its hearing in two separate meeting rooms in Santa Maria and Santa Barbara, communicating by video to reduce potential exposure to the coronavirus. Supervisor Peter adam of Orcutt was absent. In a first for the county, the board allowed members of the public to phone in their comments.

One caller said Busy Bee was a “model family farm.” Jack Motter, a fellow cannabis applicant, said Rotman was “the exact kind of person we need to help us establish this industry.” Jon Olgrehn, who works in conventional and organic agriculture, including vineyards, called in to say that Busy Bee was “one of the cleanest operations out there.”

“They have the direct support of their immediate neighbors,” Olgrehn said. “It’s time for us to make decisions based on facts, not fear.”

South Coast Supervisor Das Williams, who represents the Carpinteria Valley, where residents are up in arms about the skunk-like smell of cannabis from greenhouse operations, said Busy Bee was “one of the most innocuous” projects “on the landscape.” He described visiting the property, fully expecting “not to be impressed.” Rotman and Diaz have planted rows of trees along the highway to screen their land from public view.

“You could even say I was leaning against the project,” Williams said. “Then In addition to increasing the acreage in cannabis for Busy Bee, the board lifted other permit restrictions imposed by the commission, including a requirement for additional review by the county planning director after two years.

I passed it by without even noticing there was a marijuana operation there. That’s what we want.”

Chytilo presented a radically different picture of Busy Bee, showing the board aerial Google photographs that he said were confirmation of an illegal expansion on the property, from one greenhouse in 2015 to what appeared to be six greenhouses and 16 hoop houses in 2018. County officials said they opened a zoning violation case, but dropped it after the owners applied for a land-use permit in late 2018. a county staff report for the project stated that the planning commission approved it in 2019, “thereby authorizing the existing cannabis operation.” Coalition members told the board they viewed the permit as a “reward for noncompliance.”

“Do you take us for fools?” asked Blair Pence, a coalition founder and the owner of Pence Ranch & Winery near Buellton. In addition to increasing the acreage in cannabis for Busy Bee, the board lifted other permit restrictions imposed by the commission, including a requirement for additional review by the county planning director after two years. at the same time, the board upheld a requirement for unplanted 100-foot buffers on the eastern and western sides of the property to reduce pesticide conflicts with vineyard and broccoli operations.

Busy Bee will be required to install wind screens and fans and, ultimately, an odor-control system on the property boundary, if the county determines that odors from the marijuana harvesting and drying operations are creating a “substantially continuous public nuisance.” But the board removed permit restrictions imposed by the commission that would have required Busy Bee to dry cannabis offsite, immediately flashfreeze or box fresh plants, and ship all plant material offsite within two hours of the harvest, in order to keep odors under control.

Chytilo lambasted the board for what he called “cut-and-paste” and “decideon-the-fly” changes.

“It substantially undercuts the authority of the planning commission and increases the odor footprint,” he said.

In explaining his support for Busy Bee, board Chairman Gregg Hart, who represents Goleta, said, “I do believe that cannabis farming and the wine industry can coexist.” Supervisor Steve Lavagnino, representing Santa Maria, said that some large outdoor cannabis “grows” in the county were operating next to vineyards with zero complaints. and both Lavagnino and Hart noted that the city of Buellton had submitted a letter of support for Busy Bee.

“We live in an agricultural community,” Lavagnino said. “agriculture means different things to different people. We allow our growers the tools to do the job they need to do.”

Yet the county’s own agricultural advisory committee had urged the board to delay voting on the Busy Bee permit appeals until the commission and the board could draw up amendments to the county’s Cannabis Zoning Ordinance. and, according to the Grower-Shipper association of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, most of its members operating near hemp or cannabis operations have experienced “significant and acrimonious conflict.”

Supervisor Joan Hartmann, who represents the Santa Ynez Valley, said the Busy Bee permit “raised a lot of issues we need to address going forward.”

“It’s clear we need greater ability to condition these projects so that they are compatible with the surrounding area,” she said.

At right, at Carpinteria Post Office, Hilltop Flowers’ co-owner Karen Graf gives away hundreds of bunches of blooms.

Paralyzed flower industry gives away

Its springtime and flowers across Carpinteria Valley are in full bloom in one of the nation’s largest cut flower producing regions. But, as the historically busiest time of the year approaches—Easter and Mother’s Day holidays—Carpinteria’s flower growers have been crippled by the coronavirus pandemic, and some now fear they might not survive to next spring’s harvest.

On Foothill Road, the corridor for Carpinteria’s flower basket, farm workers from MOBI’s trucked hundreds of bouquets of gerberas to give away to passersby. “Free flowers, brighten someone’s day,” read one of their signs. Westerlay’s orchids popped up at Corktree Cellars and Peebee & Jays, free with purchases. Bunches of Hilltop Flowers’ carnations were handed out across the city. Ocean Breeze posted lilies at Risdon’s 76 on Via Real. Soon free flowers were spotted elsewhere, delivered to Carpinteria Children’s Project, Shepard Place and GranVida, and dropped off on doorsteps of friends and family. The flowers became known as “kindness” flowers and many people took to social media to say how the fresh cut blossoms had brightened their day.

The kindness flowers are a small portion of the hundreds of thousands of flowers from Carpinteria that were cultivated for the spring season and will not make it to market. The problem: flower growers can’t get their blooms to customers. Ninety-nine percent of the trucks that carry flowers across the country have suspended service, said Karen Graf of Hilltop Flowers. The Los Angeles and San Diego flower markets have been shut down and grocery store chains have suspended purchasing. Orders have been canceled from the mass markets to the local florists.

Graf has had to destroy thousands of

thousands of blooms

By DeBra Herrick bunches of flowers and will continue to do so. “There’s flowers in the field that we won’t be able to harvest and those will just die and get mulched back into the soil. We also lost everything in our cooler because nobody is buying anything.”

“It’s pretty bleak,” said Graf who has been donating her family farm’s flowers to Shepard Place and Carpinteria Children’s Project. “The positiveness comes out and I would rather give it away to bring joy… It’s not the first time we’ve had to throw product away for one reason or another, but this is a time when people really need something to brighten their day.”

Westerlay Orchids has also taken a big hit, said owner Toine Overgaag, with Westerlay’s sales down 80 percent in the past two weeks. On an average year, Easter and Mother’s Day make for the company’s biggest quarter. “The timing is as bad as it gets,” said Overgaag. “We’re going to consider ourselves fortunate if our revenue is cut in half this year.”

Typically, Westerlay sells 50,000 orchids in a week. This week, they sold 20 percent and either gave away or had to destroy the rest. Orchids aren’t often shipped, so Westerlay’s issue has not been with trucks, but with supermarket supply chains and warehouses. Supermarkets are using all their warehouse space to restock goods that are getting depleted quickly from store shelves—items like toilet paper, paper towels, bottled waters, dry and canned goods. “Our biggest customers, the supermarkets, are extraordinarily busy. Their supply chain is getting really squeezed,” said Overgaag. “As people are looking for toilet paper and such, they can’t get other things in.”

“We’ve been here since 1978, and there’s a very real chance we don’t make it through this,” said Overgaag. “In 2008- 09, that was an absence or reduction of demand. This is we can’t get product to the market. It’s very different and its scary.” Last week, the company had to lay off 20 percent of its employees and reduced hours for all others.

Westerlay has already destroyed about 10,000 plants and that number will jump dramatically in the next couple weeks if the market doesn’t return. Potentially, the company could destroy as many as 300,000 plants this season.

This week, Westerlay will donate 10,000 plants to Cottage Hospital, Kaiser Permanente and Sansum Clinic. “It’s nice to give to people on the front lines; it’s just a small token,” said Overgaag. “And, it’s starting to get a little better, there’s a bit of a ray out there.”

Girls Inc. basketball program brings bold smiles

By Alonzo orozco • Photos By rosAnA swing

On March 5 Carpinteria’s Girls Inc. chapter finished their inaugural Winter Basketball Program, introducing its new Basketball Enrichment concept. “The girls made tremendous improvements over the eight weeks, for many, it was their first time playing basketball or participating in a sports program,” said Teen Program Manager Kenya Rodriguez. The clinic was attended by 14 girls, ages 9 to 14.

Coaches Michelle Alpizar and Laura Flores helped with the program. Both are Carpinteria High School athletes. The duo, who participated in the curriculum at the club since joining as young girls, were recently awarded $25,000 in scholarships for their overall service to the community. “Three critical goals drive our programming: to help girls achieve healthy lives, succeed academically and acquire the life skills needed to prepare them for adulthood,” said Rodriguez, who has worked at Girls Inc. for five years. Founded in Carpinteria in 1971 as a summer camp, the organization places an emphasis on physical activity. In Girls Inc.’s recent study, “Stronger, Smarter, Bolder: Girls take the Lead,” it was noted that girls ages 6 through 12 are less likely than boys to participate in team sports. “Our goal is to have girls develop movement and athletic skills, cooperative and competitive spirit, and healthy habits so that they can

experience the benefits and excitement of taking positive risks that bolster their self-confidence and personal growth,” said Rodriguez.

The organization’s Project BOLD program adheres to this philosophy where girls learn skills and strategies to lead safer lives in their homes, relationships, communities and online. In the Be BOLD program, girls ages 6 to 8 build skills and personal power for dealing with hurtful or dangerous situations. Girls also learn about resources they can access for greater safety. The Action for Safety aspect is for girls ages 9 to 11. It helps build negotiation, assertiveness and self-defense skills. It also helps initiate open and honest discussions to enhance girls’ understanding about interpersonal violence, lessening the fear and isolation of girls experiencing violence. Also, the Living Safe & Strong segment for girls ages 12 to 14 helps to continue discussions of gender violence issues, and reinforces and provides additional safety strategies and selfdefense skills for teen girls.

Another one of Girls Inc.’s programs called Mind + Body promotes the whole health of girls ages 6 to 18. It focuses on four critical content areas: physical activity, body image, nutrition and stress management. The program is based on the belief that every girl can find a type of physical activity that she enjoys and girls of all shapes and sizes have

the right to feel good about their bodies. Additionally, girls who participate, identify a strategy for healthy eating that works for them. Emphasis is also given to teaching girls to understand that stress is a normal part of life, and that handling stress in a healthy way is a key factor in having a strong body and mind.

“We know that when their access to sports participation is limited, girls miss the chance to develop skills that will help them succeed and habits that can keep them healthy throughout their lives,” said Rodriquez.

Girls Inc.’s campus is currently closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But programs and activities continue to be provided for girls through a variety of online platforms like Zoom, Facebook Live and Instagram Live. The Teen Program director recently held an online workshop on Zoom for teens girls on healthy stress management during this time. To learn more, visit girlsinc-carp.org.

ShORT STOPS CVN

ciF holds off on deciding spring season On March 18, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) announced that the organization has not determined whether they will be able to resume the 2020 spring sports season. Ten section commissioners will meet on April 3 to decide whether or not to continue CIF’s sports schedule.

CIF suspended play of all of its high school sports and practices due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Baseball, boys golf, boys tennis, boys volleyball, boys and girls lacrosse, boys and girls swimming, boys and girls track and field and softball have all been halted as a precautionary measure in dealing with the coronavirus.

“While the time may come when we have to cancel postseason events, today is not that day,” wrote CIF Executive Director Ron Nocetti following the March 18 meeting. Schools throughout the state have already stopped all athletic activities.

It’s a pretty thing, isn’t it? Magnified images of the virus—a rotund ball studded with little pink florets. Similar enough, I guess, to a crown, a corona, to merit the name. In spite of the royal name, it’s a boogeyman, a monster, bearer of our worst fears.

We’re sheltering in place, in our new place, in the flatlands of Goleta. Reduced to the basics. Hunkered down. We’re all living like cavemen now, pressed up against our own walls, peering out to scan the distance for dangers.

What I fail to understand is the hoarding of things like toilet paper. I got a video recently that showed a guy paying for his coffee with little squares of toilet paper, counting them out like dollar bills. It made me laugh, of course. And laughter is a very good thing in times like these.

Panic and pandemonium seem to be riding tandem. The one leading to the other, both contagious. Hoarding is instinctual, we hear, a fear-based survivalof-the-fittest drive to take care of one’s self and one’s own.

My friend Linda watched a Trader Joe’s clerk remove two apples from a woman’s cart that contained five. Five apples doesn’t seem like hoarding to me, but when shortages are critical I guess every apple counts. It’s a thing we should strive to remember. Consider others in our human group who may need an apple or two. At Albertson’s, where there were no shopping carts available, I spotted a woman whose cart was piled to the gunnels with bottled water. What? Did she think the spigots would be turned off? That could happen during an earthquake, but during an epidemic?

The thing we’re urged to remember is that the problem is not a food shortage, but delivery issues. With everyone grabbing everything edible from shelves, delivery trucks can’t keep up with greedy demand. So here we are, hunkered down. Forced to read books, watch TV, use email or Skype to reach out to friends. But we can still go outside, take walks, look at what our bounteous spring has to offer. Nature is oblivious to our turmoil, trees leafing out, plants throwing out buds and beeloving blossoms in a wild array.

Here at Encina Royale, our new digs, we are surrounded by eye-pleasing stretches of grass and gardens and trees, with paths winding through everything. A nice place to stroll, walk the dogs and breathe rain-fresh air.

Living here, I don’t miss Summerland, where up and down tramps were prob

lematic and stores very far away. I do miss Carpinteria, though. I miss writing for the paper and I miss the town with its shops, friends, and especially my favorite gym, the Gym Next Door and the kind and convivial women I hung out with. The gym, like most gyms, is closed now, a necessary inconvenience.

The move

A few words about moving from our Summerland home of 50 years. No regrets, but the displacement was traumatic. Having everything you own uprooted and taken away, as if by a tornado, was so disorienting it has taken us several months to adjust. Getting our old stuff settled into the new place was an exploration, like laying down familiar landmarks to establish a trail, a way to move forward. The displacement was psychological, parts of our psyches taking a long time to sift down, finding the right spot to land.

It was a bit like Alice in Wonderland at first. Where were we? How did the mountains move? They are lower here, more like a tall range of hills. Clouds sit comfortably along the crests instead of settling into deep crevices of the taller peaks behind Summerland. Even the air is different, colder, crisper.

The condos at Encina Royale sit under a flight path for small aircraft, so I regularly see and hear little planes buzzing by overhead, lowering, getting ready to land. Briefly noted and then gone. Flybys I call them. Like this column that I hope to keep writing as time and conditions allow.

One good thing: Although we are physically separated, we are still united, all sharing these fearful times together as Americans.

GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY?

Warming centers

suspend activations

Freedom Warming Centers (FWC) has suspended all activations, according to a statement released on Sunday, March 22.

During the 2019-2020 winter activation season, FWC shelters 200 individuals a night across 12 sites. FWCs are a low-barrier service providing shelter to all in need of sanctuary on cold or rainy nights. Despite many challenges, FWC has been leading the charge in helping the homeless survive adverse weather since 2009; however, the coronavirus and the state’s “Stay at Home” Order have posed challenges that FWC is unable to adequately meet.

“Obviously, this is a decision that was difficult to make,” stated the release. “Over the past week the facts became more overwhelming and convincing and left us no other choice but to suspend further activations. We gave it everything we had to try and make the activations work.”

Santa Barbara County is currently working with the state of California to find an alternative solution for sheltering the homeless, according to Kathleen Hayes, FWC director, who noted that the state has many requirements that will need to be met to open a 24/7 shelter.

For more information, contact FWC’s hotline at (805) 324-2372.

Special Education moves to online learning

Carpinteria Unified School District’s Special Education program will transition to online learning when the term resumes on March 30. “These are extraordinary times and the information and guidelines from local, state and federal authorities have resulted in decisions and actions that will continue to evolve and adapt to the quickly changing environment,” wrote Dr. Karla Curry, director of special education, in a letter to families.

Schools are charged with making every effort to provide special education and related services to students in accordance with the student’s individualized education program (IEP) or, for students entitled to FAPE, under Section 504.

Evaluation, referral and IEP distribution timelines for all students in the referral process for special education services have been suspended and will resume the day school campuses reopen for onsite classes. The postponement applies to all students in the annual review and re-evaluation process. Home/hospital services will resume the week of March 30 via alternate means such as Skype, Zoom, telephone, and/or educational packets and will continue remotely for the length of the closures.

AHA! goes online

Adapting to school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the social-emotional education group AHA! plans to use the online meeting program Zoom to conduct its youth and parent group meetings. AHA! co-founder Dr. Jennifer Freed said the organization will also provide videos created by staff with information on “self-care, mindfulness, healthy relationships, physical activity and reminders of the power of curiosity and laughter.” Videos will be posted on the AHA!

COMMANDER’S RECAP Reports from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Offi ce

COASTAL BUREAU OPERATIONS

MARCH 15 – 21

Wednesday, March 18 8:12 a.m. / Possession / 5550 block Carpinteria Avenue

A man was driving through the parking lot of a motel in a vehicle with expired registration. He was contacted and stated he was not driving; he was only checking the engine. While being questioned, the man admitted to being in possession of a baggie of meth. He was cited and the vehicle was left parked.

We need to support our local business when we can.” A reader sends a halo to all the staff at grocery stores, drug stores and restaurants, and to sanitation workers, police, fi remen, doctors and nurses and support staff that keep us all safe, serve our community needs and place themselves at risk every day for each of us.

What’s new at the harbor seal rookery?

Many Sealwatch volunteers are observing social distancing by staying home or stationing on the beach at the ends of the sanctuary rather than acting as docents at the overlook. As a result, accurate seal and pup counts for last week are not available. However, a few new births have been observed, so we know this season there have been about 70 births to date.

Harbor seals need to rest on land at their few chosen haul-out areas about 50 percent of the time. Please help protect our rare local rookery by respecting the “No Trespassing” signs. The city’s no trespassing ordinance, and the Federal Marine Mammal Protection Act, will be enforced when people enter the sanctuary area. If any member of the public sees anyone violating the laws by walking on the beach or disturbing the seals from the bluffs, and they do not respond to a polite request to stop, City Code Enforcement or the Sheriff’s Offi ce may be contacted.

April 15-21

As the feminine principle embraces duality and draws it into harmony, such is the case this week. After freethinking and global awareness, this next seven days is all about solid foundation, stability, calm, right and wrong and—surprise—tradition! This week, Carpinteria, you are a four and you build everything to last. You anchor security in your dealings, do honest and good labor, and you are disciplined and sober. You are not afraid to get the job done, manage your affairs with endurance and concentration, and prove yourself worthy of holding the world in your arms. Manager of the human experience, you bring order out of chaos and spirit into matter. Just as a woman bearing a child, all manner of life force coalesces in you this week, as you prepare to bring in the new civilization. April 22-28

With your abundant nature of attracting wealth through healthy work, your eight reappears for the fi rst time this year. This week you resume your leadership role with renewed insight. Working in concert with your feminine side, you focus now on organizations, on achievement, on money and material comforts. Though the eight is driven to work hard, to attract prosperity on every level, to succeed and to be granted power by those around it, you do so with peace at your core. You are considered an authority, and tie the infi nite to the fi nite in a forever nourishing loop. Your integrity in your work in concert with the nine’s powers, builds a world of the future aligned with higher consciousness and service to all mankind. How much more feminine can you get? April 29-30

Traversing like a comet, you throw yourself into the cosmos as completion, mastery and wisdom. A nine these last two days, nothing can throw you off your course. Burning through the sky as the brightest light leading the way, now you can lay on your beach blankets and watch yourself cut through the universe on your way home. Lost call

Just as our world is dealing with the hand of duality, so are you this month, Carpinteria, only you do so with seeing and embracing those opposites and choosing the path of cooperation. This month

A two for this month, you are over-lit by the feminine infl uence. The female principle cradles all dualities and merges them into a third position: harmony and teamwork. The two is all about coordination, organization, unifi - cation, fl exibility, adaptability, patience and evolution. This is your month to lower the amplitude of the masculine leadership role and turn up the power on tact, diplomacy, listening, learning and paying close attention. Lean on your intuition—it’s fl awless and it leads to understanding and right choice.

This is the month to work together to care for your community, to partner with each other and work happily as groups with a vision. You have a perfect sense of timing and can enjoy being the power behind the throne. The throne is your overall direction, and taking the role of the right hand this month produces far more than grabbing the reins. So defer to the women, the female business associations and pamper the ladies at home this month. Your rewards will be untold. April 1-7

By the time you read this paragraph, your fi rst seven days will be done. What impressed you this week was the number fi ve. Five is change and risktaking; it’s progressive, unconventional, observant and quick thinking. It is the power of free thought, operating out of the box and continuous movement. Five constantly improves, communicates and pours itself into marketing, advertising, networking, sales and promotions. The symbol of humanity and public welfare, it is the number for life fl ows and being open to what’s next. And what’s next leads you to the world. April 8-14

You may want to lay on your beach blanket and sleep, keeping things smaller and simpler, but not for long. With a nine twice this month, you are beating a steady drum to becoming a global infl uence. The nine serves humanity globally, nationally and locally. It is planetary consciousness for the people on the earth, of giving, of caring, of agape love. Driven by compassion, the nine creates solid and prosperous structure for others to stand upon and focuses on international business. The nine is the perfect balance of earthly concerns and divine connection, the place of realization. When one is realized, sleep is not necessary...

The ambitious Thomas Cravens out-dreamed the boundaries of his home state at a young age and let the magnet of the Gold Rush pull him west. He left home at 21, crossing overland through New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California. From San Diego, a small boat carried him north to San Francisco, the launch pad for gold miners.

Thomas initially mined the American River, but later shifted his focus to aboveground resources. He worked in the lumber business and eventually owned a number of saw mills. In 1856, he married Elizabeth Humes, and the couple made their home in Northern California for over a decade.

In 1868, the Cravens headed south, wintering in Los Angeles before laying down roots in Carpinteria. Thomas purchased a 60-acre ranch with a small adobe and a tangled expanse of thick chaparral and oaks. Over the next several years, the Cravens worked steadily to improve their property. They added 70 acres to their holdings and built a new house on the land. Following the agricultural trend of the day, they planted lima beans and CARpINTERIA VALLEy MuSEuM OF HISTORy With 11 children, Thomas and Elizabeth Cravens had no shortage of workers for their 130-acre Carpinteria ranch. owned a number of horses, mules and cows.

While their land expanded and property values increased, so did the Cravens family. In all, Thomas and Elizabeth raised 11 children.

Thomas’ local influence expanded as well. By the time he died at age 60, he had served on the school board, on the County Board of Supervisors and as a member of the Knights of pythias Lodge. Descendants of Thomas and Elizabeth still live in Carpinteria today.

I have recently moved in with my boyfriend, and we found a beautiful house. I have lived alone for quite some time, so it is taking some getting used to living with someone else, but so far so good, well at least when it’s just the two of us. The problem is, it never seems to be just the two of us. Since we have moved in together the social floodgates have opened. Friends are constantly just “stopping by” unannounced and uninvited. I like people, I really do, but sometimes when I get home from work and am tired, I don’t want to deal with anyone. My boyfriend doesn’t help the matter either by just telling everyone to come by whenever. I don’t want to be rude to my friends or my boyfriend, but I just can’t take all the people around all the time. How can I keep things copacetic and get a little privacy at the same time?

Signed, Over populated Dear Over populated,

Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries. It can be hard to know where to set the limits when you’re in a new situation, but the beginning is absolutely the best time to do so. First of all, talk to your partner. Let him know that you love having friends over sometimes, but that does not mean all the time. Ask him to consult you first so that you can make plans to have visitors together. Secondly, talk to your friends. Let them know that you are still adjusting to your new place and that you really want to establish your space and routine with your boyfriend. Ask them to call you before they stop by. If they are good friends they will respect the boundary and leave you to have your own privacy. To be a good guest is to come when you’re invited, if not you risk becoming what the English poet William Cowper said of his unwanted guests: “visitors are insatiable devourers of time, and fit only for those who, if they did not visit, would do nothing.” Save your friends and yourself. Set boundaries and enjoy your space. It’s okay to ask for a little privacy.

Good luck, G.G. Bank of S.B. receives honors

The Plaza Theatre Grand Opening, 1971 By Jim CamPOs

As far as grand openings go, the Plaza Theatre opening on Nov. 6, 1971, is pretty hard to beat.

There were elephants, spotlights, movie and television celebrities, civic leaders, the Carpinteria High School band, a sold-out theater and Carpinteria Avenue crowded by star gazers, that is, gawking people from the outside looking in at the gala premiere.

The original grand opening at the Dow-Muller building in 1928 for the Alcazar Theatre had its share of activities and movie people, but nothing like this. The day of the Plaza grand opening started with a couple of Indian elephants arriving midday to be led around Linden and Carpinteria avenues. The film slated for the evening had not been announced. The elephants were here, however, and a sense of excitement filled the air. Caught off-guard, law enforcement was coaxed into allowing the elephants to stay by the new Plaza owner, George Tate, of Walnut Properties of Hollywood. It was Tate’s partner, Vincent Miranda, who had master-minded the day’s events as president of Walnut Properties.

Miranda was a flamboyant showman, linked romantically by the tabloids to Rose Marie, a star on the “Dick van Dyke Show,” and a cast member of the “Hollywood Squares” television game show. Miranda’s link to Rose Marie was helpful in recruiting a bus load of television and movie stars to Carpinteria. In the evening, they stepped off a bus, one-by-one, for the premiere. First, horror movie star, Vincent Price, then Hollywood Squares emcee, Peter Marshall, then June Lockhardt and Angela Cartwright of the hit show “Lost in Space,” and on and on. at left, Vincent miranda and Rose marie, ca. 1971. Elephants delighted partygoers at the 1971 grand opening of Carpinteria’s Plaza Theatre, now the Alcazar Theatre. The premiere went off almost without a hitch. One hiccup, however, was that the high school band after performing their musical numbers slipped into the theater without a ticket. It was a sold-out show! Miranda smoothed things over by announcing that a second showing of the film would follow immediately after the first one.

Letters to the editor in the Carpinteria Herald, however, regarding the band’s behavior, were plentiful for the next two weeks. And, just what movie did Tate and Miranda present for the Plaza’s grand opening? Why, “The African Elephant,” of course, with the presence of Indian elephants on the streets of Carpinteria. Walnut Properties of Hollywood had a long run as owners of the Dow-Muller building and Plaza Theatre—About 30 years.

Tate and Miranda became fabulously wealthy in the theater business, but not because of the theater in Carpinteria. They accumulated 50 theaters in California, 35 of them of the adult entertainment variety. They struck it rich by acquiring exclusive rights to the porn classic “Deep Throat” which ran 24/7 for nearly 10 years straight in their Pussycat Theatres!
