His craft work helps a worthy cause

JANN HENDRY/Acorn Newspapers PAINTING LIKE A PIRATE—Carter Peterson, 5, may look like a pirate, but he's actually a Madrona Elementary School kindergartner. As his mom, Lisa, assists, Carter paints a ceramic bowl during the Thousand Oaks Arts Festival last Sunday. The bowl will be donated to the Many Mansions Bowls of Hope fundraiser on Nov. 2 at Calamigos Ranch. For details, visit www.manymansions.org. See related photo on page 19.
