<div>A reader sends a halo to Carlos, Matt and Ben for assistance down the Franklin Trail after the reader broke an ankle. “I was about 1.5 miles up. Words cannot adequately express gratitude, and your kindness will be remembered always.”A reader sends a halo to their Wordle buddy at The Gym Next Door. “Bragging rights are no fun without you there. Feel better. Everyone misses you.”A reader sends a halo to The Alcazar Theatre and the Carpinteria Photography Club for “putting on a great show of photos at The Alcazar Theatre called ‘The Eyes Have It.’ A special shout out to the great photos of Fran Collin, David Powdrell, Ingrid Bostrom, Jim Taylor and Ted Rhodes.”A reader sends a halo to everyone who voted, especially the ones who decided not to sit out this time. “This is what happens when you show up and vote! Keep it up.”A reader sends a pitchfork to the Carpinteria Unified School District for selling the Bailard property, thereby opening the door for the Red Tail housing development in the most densely populated area in the city. “Not only did you get a low-ball price but you could have used the land for housing for your underpaid staff, as both Santa Barbara and Ventura are doing. Very short-sighted planning on your part.”A reader sends a pitchfork to the horny conductor overblowing the train whistle the length of Carpinteria. “Lay off buddy, you’re pumping that thing like a goat.”A reader sends a pitchfork to the mobilehome park resident who consistently uses power saws and other super loud power tools without consideration of his neighbors.A reader sends a pitchfork to the parents who apparently believe the posted traffic signs at local schools are merely suggestions. “The signs clearly say No Left Turn — Right Turn Only, yet every school day drivers choose to turn left or drive straight through school crosswalks to avoid a mild inconvenience. These rules are there for a reason: to protect children and keep school traffic safe and orderly. Being in a hurry to get out of the parking lot is no excuse for putting children and pedestrians at risk. Follow the signs, obey the traffic laws and set a better example for your kids. A few extra minutes in line is a small price to pay for everyone’s safety.”</div>
