Carpinteria Public Cemetery will hold Memorial Day program

The traditional Memorial Day program at Carpinteria Public Cemetery is back.

The in-person service will take place on Monday, May 31 at 10 a.m.

“Last year, during because of a state wide “stay at home order, we e had to severely restrict attendance to this always popular event,” said Mike Damron, manager of Carpinteria Public Cemetery District. “Because of the dramatic improvement in the pandemic, we welcome all who would like to attend. We are following CDC guidelines which offer that all vaccinated persons are not required a mask outdoors when in the presence of other vaccinated people.”

Damron continued, “If you are not vaccinated and would still like to attend, this event is outside, on 12 open acres, and will last less than an hour. We have plenty of space to social distance for those who might still be a bit anxious. Chairs will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own if you wish.”

Service men and women who have passed will be honored, and there will be a reading aloud of the names of individuals who have given their lives in the service to our country.

Bear visits trees along Hwy 192

MARILYN BERMAN

Last week, a bear was seen climbing a large Ash tree along Hwy 192 near Gobernador Canyon. A property foreman advised local resident Marilyn Berman who went out to see for herself, and was able to safely capture several photos of the bear, including some of him sleeping.

“I was able to capture him in different poses in the large Ash tree,” said Berman.

“I took the sleeping shots out of the moonroof of my car. I was informed that the bear would come out of the tree at dark and leave, which he did.”

Berman noted that while he was in the tree, the bear scratched his body and nose a lot.

“I found him to be quite adorable, a beauty of nature. Of course, at a distance,” added Berman.

From left, Isa Alarcon, Laura Flores, Briana Rodriguez and Dulce Perez have received prestigious honors from the Girls Inc. National Scholars Program.

Carpinteria students awarded scholarships from Girls Inc. National Scholars Program

Four of Girls Inc. of Carpinteria’s members have been selected as 2021 scholarship recipients through the competitive Girls Inc. National Scholar Program and will receive a total of $30,500.

Girls Inc. of Carpinteria boasts a total of 40 national scholarships awarded to 34 of the organization’s girls, with a total of $259,000 awarded to the local affiliate since 1995.

Each year, the Girls Inc. National Scholars Program awards high school girls across the U.S. with scholarships for educational expenses at any accredited college or university. Carpinteria High School students Isa Alarcon ($20,000), Laura Flores ($5,000) and Briana Rodriguez ($5,000) were among 30 high school students selected from a pool of 100 national applicants to receive scholarships and the prestigious National Scholar recognition.

The program selects outstanding young women for exemplifying the Girls Inc. mission of inspiring all girls to be strong, smart and bold. Recipients are role models for other girls who demonstrate a commitment to achieving academically and serving their communities.

“We are thrilled that all of our 2021 National Scholar applicants received this well-deserved recognition,” said Jamie Collins, executive director at Girls Inc. of Carpinteria. “These young girls are

incredible young leaders and role models in their own right – and are already changing their communities for the better.

We are proud to be developing the next generation of female leaders at Girls Inc. of Carpinteria and look forward to seeing what these girls will achieve next.”

Alarcon, a high school senior, is co-founder of the local chapter of Diversify our Narrative, where she helped implement a new Multicultural Literature class. She also sits on the Youth Making Change Board, serves as vice president of Celebrating Adversity, Diversity, and Education (CADE) and Associated Student Body (ASB) senior class president and is a tri-athlete at Carpinteria High School. She has been accepted to 14 universities so far and plans to attend New York University to pursue a degree in criminology.

“I am beyond honored to be recognized as a Girls Inc. National Scholar,” said Alarcon, who received a $20,000 scholarship. “I have been involved with Girls Inc. since the seventh grade and at that time, Girls Inc. was my safe space – playing a vital role in improving my mental health and encouraging me to pursue my career and academic goals. My intent growing up was always to become a role model and inspire my younger cousins, so I appreciate this award greatly knowing that I am impacting girls and women all around me.”

Flores, also a senior, was recently appointed to the Girls Inc. National Teen Advocacy Council. Now a two-time Girls Inc. National Scholar, Flores is co-founder of the local chapter of Diversify our Narrative, serves as ASB Vice President, is a leader in the CADE club where she works to advance diversity and inclusion in the district’s schools, and is active in AVID and Link Clubs. She plans to attend California Lutheran University to pursue a degree in education.

Rodriguez, a junior, is a member of the volleyball, water polo and swim teams, ASB, and previously volunteered for the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation. A childhood cancer survivor, she has been able to share her experience with other families and pay it forward for the support she once received. Rodriguez fell in love with engineering through Girls Inc.’s Eureka Program and hopes to be a biomedical engineer.

Additionally, Girls Inc. of Carpinteria member Dulce Perez was awarded the Girls Inc. National 8th Grade Scholarship.

Perez was one of 10 Girls Inc. members nationally to score the recognition and a $500 scholarship from a pool of 26 eligible eighth-grade applications.

Perez first joined Girls Inc. in kindergarten and has gone on to be an active member of the organization’s programs for nearly a decade, most recently, joining

the Eureka Program. She is a two-time speaker at the nonprofit’s largest annual fundraiser, An Evening in Bloom, and she continues to serve as a role model to her peers.

“All the elements they don’t teach us in school, Girls Inc. fills in the gaps,” said Perez. “Even the little things Girls Inc. does for me are such a gift. Because of Girls Inc. and Eureka, I know that I will have a bright future.”

CUSD Board moves forward with sales marketing agreement for Whitney property

BY EVELYN SPENCE

Carpinteria Unified School District Board directed staff to move forward with a listing agreement with Berkshire Hathaway for the marketing of the district’s Whitney property, a vacant 6.84-acre parcel that the district has owned since 1955.

The direction was given at their April 27 regular board meeting.

CUSD legal counsel Lauren Rode explained that the property will have an estimated listing price of $1,325,000, should the board decide to move forward with selling the property in the fall. Rode said the property is zoned for a single property structure. “(Preliminary marketing means) getting all of the preparation work out of the way so we’re not jammed doing it all within 30 or 60 days in the fall,” Rode said.

She clarified that even though the board has not yet formally decided whether to sell the property, the board must take several prerequisite steps before choosing whether to sell the property, including notifying the city; the county; the Regents of the University of California; and the Trustees of the California State University, among others.

Rode said the state agencies have 60 days from when they first receive notice of the district’s intent to sell to make an offer.

The property is currently occupied by Sweet Wheel Farm & Flowers, an agricultural company, with a lease that will end on Nov. 12, 2021.

Leslie Person Ryan, who said she is one of the current leasers of the property for agricultural purposes, spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting.

She said the farm has started a Save the Summerland Farms campaign to urge the district to let them purchase the property or extend the lease.

“We are trying to solve the food desert,” she said. “We are very interested in purchasing the property ... Why are we not working together to save this as a very important resource for all children in Summerland?”

“We farm organically; we do non-GMO seeds; we have multiple crops up there; we have lima beans; oats, wheat; we have our corn,” she said.

New leadership members at CUSD

Veronica Gallardo, a current Kindergarten teacher, is the Aliso and Summerland schools new principal, CUSD Superintendent Diana Rigby announced during the April 27 CUSD board meeting.

Ricardo Cota, a Santa Barbara resident and veteran, was named as the new Carpinteria Middle School assistant principal.

Cota, who grew up in Ventura, currently works as the assistant principal at the De Anza Academy of Technology & Arts Middle School in Ventura. He earned a BA degree in History at CSU Channel Islands and a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership at California Lutheran University.

Charles Franklin Hutchins, known to friends as “Frank” was born in Pasadena, California in March 1934, and passed away at his home in Pagosa Springs, Colorado on April 30, 2021 with sons Dale and Mark at his side.

The Hutchins lived in Carpinteria from 1974 to 1987. Frank retired from Southern California Edison after almost 40 years of dedicated service. His passions in life were sky diving, piloting, building planes, hunting, fishing and golf.

Frank built a 1930s vintage Waco Biplane that is still flying today in Southern California. He built two Vans RV-4 aircrafts, one for him and one for his wife, Marilyn. He built 1 Vans RV-8 which won awards at Oshkosh, Wisconsin and helped many others build their own Vans aircrafts.

Frank and Marilyn shared their passion of flying and sky diving together. In the late 1950s, they started a civilian sky diving school in Avenal, California called “The Condors.”

Frank was preceded in death by his wife of 46 years and is survived by three sons, Dale (Shanna), Mark (Linda), and Mike (Dottie), and grandchildren Brandon, Brittany, Dana and Dillon.

Frank’s ashes will grace the same Colorado mountains as did Marilyn’s in 2007.

CenCal Health offers year-round resources

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, CenCal Health released a statement urging the community to acknowledge the signs of mental distress and seek help if needed for themselves or a loved one. Conditions such as depression or anxiety are real, common and treatable.

As the largest health plan in both Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, CenCal Health offers a range of mental health benefits and services to its plan members, with some resources also available at no cost to the general public.

From a survey conducted by Pew Research Center in February of this year, 21% of US adults are experiencing high levels of psychological distress. It is especially common among adults ages 18 to 29 (32%), those with lower family incomes (31%) and those who have a disability or health condition that keeps them from participating fully in work, school, housework or other activities (36%). In addition, domestic violence is up by 8.1% over March of 2020, according to the National Commission on Covid-19 and Criminal Justice. Similarly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported drug overdose deaths accelerated dramatically from 2019 to 2020.

Some may ask, “What is mental health?” CenCal Health asserts that mental health includes one’s emotional, psychological and social well-being.

It affects how a person thinks, feels

and acts. It also helps determine how someone handles stress, how they relate to others, and what choices they make.

Mental health is important for people at every stage of life: children, adolescents and adults.

“The difference between enduring mental health difficulties alone and getting support can be night and day for patients in need,” said Farid Hassanpour, chief medical officer of CenCal Health.

For the public, as well as plan members, CenCal Health offers a directory and a library – in English and Spanish – that address specific mental health topics, including depression and addiction. These online guides can be found at cencalhealth.org (Community Resources tab, and Health & Wellness tab) any time of day or night and at no cost.

CenCal Health also suggests local resources for community members seeking help such as Santa Barbara County Behavioral Wellness (SBCBW).

SBCBW is the hub for behavioral health assistance in the county, with a focus on individual and family strengths to maximize functioning and improve the quality of life. To learn more, visit countyofsb.org/behavioral-wellness or call (888) 868-1649.

If you or a family member are experiencing a mental health crisis and need help right away, call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest emergency room.

What’s new at the harbor seal rookery?

KARLSSON

The pandemic has reduced the number of volunteers at the overlook. Sealwatch reminds visitors to protect others by wearing a mask, staying distanced and limiting time at the viewing area when it is crowded. This report covers March 22 - 28.

Some pups are still nursHigh Pup ing, but as most are now quite large all are includAdult Count ed in the adult count.

Count

169

Natural History Notes

Recently a humpback whale, as well as many dolphins, have been observed. Hundreds of pelicans have been using the rookery area to rest.

Harbor seals see well underwater. They have a layer of reflecting plates behind the retina which act as a set of mirrors to reflect light back through the retina a second time, increasing their eyes’ ability to gather light. In addition, under water the pupils dilate widely. Mucus protects the eyes by washing over them continuously. On land, this gives the seals a wet “tear-rimmed” look.

Visitors

Sealwatchers on the beach are able to educate most people who miss the closure signs, but several times footprints show that an early morning walker or runner has entered the rookery area, which causes seals to flee.

Info

The Carpinteria harbor seal rookery is located immediately east of Casitas Pier, between the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve and Carpinteria State Beach. Please remember not to bring dogs, bicycles or loud voices to view the seals. Harbor seals, when disturbed, may flee and become separated from their pups. Volunteers ask that dogs remain outside the rope area at all times. Volunteers needed. Call (805) 684-2247 or email carpsealwatch@gmail.com. To find out more, visit carpinteriasealwatch.org.

FOCUS ON MENTAL HEALTH: In this four-week series acknowledging the month of May as Mental Health Awareness Month, HopeNet will be contributing different perspectives each week on mental health and community resources.

Pandemic has brought mental health challenges for many children

BY BECKI NORTON

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and there have been national concerns raised about the mental health of our children during the Covid-19 pandemic. Let’s discuss the state of mental health of our local youth and what can be done to prevent mental health challenges and promote intervention when needed for a family, from a school and community perspective.

Children and youth that are thriving regardless of socio-economic background and access to resources have family support that strives to maintain a regular routine. During the pandemic, creating a routine can be challenging for families.

Routines help with predictability, thereby decreasing uncertainty and anxiety.

I acknowledge the extraordinary effort these families have made in making regular routines and self-care a priority. Such habits contribute to our general health, which in turn contributes to brain health.

This includes: getting adequate sleep; eating healthy food and drinking lots of water; getting regular exercise; spending time quieting the mind; limiting screen time; connecting with others; talking about feelings; expressing gratitude and practicing positive thinking; engaging in creative outlets; and spending time in nature.

I applaud these families who convey unconditional love for their children and reassure them frequently that they are loved and safe. They prevent trauma when possible and take steps to intervene early if necessary.

Youth that are struggling at this time tend to have untreated risk factors that pre-existed the pandemic. The increased isolation and disruption in routine brought on by the pandemic may be placing them more at risk.

Our schools support the mental health of our local youth in several significant ways. Each school has a team that includes principals, school counselors, schoolbased therapists contracted through local agencies, a school psychologist and a grief counselor provided through Compassionate Care of Carpinteria (Hospice of Santa Barbara). They meet regularly to review the needs of at-risk students and add in supports and interventions.

Youth that are struggling at this time tend to have untreated risk factors that pre-existed the pandemic. The increased isolation and disruption in routine brought on by the pandemic may be placing them more at risk.

We have the ability to assist families with finding local mental health related programs and counseling support through the Care Solace online service.

There is also a district-wide mental health team that meets monthly. A depression screening is planned for the near future.

Youth need connection with peers for their healthy development and this has been the most challenging part of the pandemic – for them and their families.

Now that we are back to in-person learning, many students seem to be making up for lost time in this regard.

Our community can provide healthy outlets through organized recreational activities. For example, when is our skatepark going to materialize? Sign up to become a mentor through the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (CADA).

If you have concerns about your child’s mental health, contact your child’s pediatrician or the school counselor or school psychologist at your child’s school. For young people who may be experiencing an emotional or behavioral crisis through age 22, call SAFTY at (888) 334-2777, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week.

Becki Norton is a school psychologist for Carpinteria Unified School District and serves as secretary of HopeNet. HopeNet of Carpinteria is a group of concerned citizens who provide education and resources to prevent suicide. HopeNet’s mission is to improve the mental wellness of community residents and to lessen the number of attempted and completed suicides in the community through information, support, training and advocacy. HopeNet hopes to create a stronger safety net. Learn more at hopenetofcarp.org.

Proposed development is poor planning

We are surprised to learn of a proposed housing development off of Bailard Avenue. The Carpinteria City Council unanimously voting to move forward with a Memorandum of Understanding is disappointing, as this brings us closer to a binding contract. To learn that our City Council has little authority over disapproving this project is concerning, as Carpinteria will be significantly and negatively impacted by this development.

It is poor planning to build a third high density housing development, without garages, while assuming each unit will park only two vehicles and provide no over flow options. The existing condominium units on Bailard Avenue all have off-street parking for two vehicles and street parking is at its limit. A recent attempt by the city to increase street parking on Bailard Avenue by adding diagonal parking has been a failure.

Cars are already jumping the Bailard freeway ramp. Rush hour lines are forming, and cars are moving to the frontage road at high speeds to get back on the freeway. This new housing development could easily add 500 more cars on Bailard Avenue each day.

Let’s not pave our paradise to build 173 units on this 7-acre plot of ag land.

Gigi van Zanten and David Bader Carpinteria

Lush freeway landscaping, at what cost?

It’s very frustrating to constantly be reminded that we are in a drought and should not use water unless absolutely necessary. The frustration comes when I see a forest being planted at the Casitas Pass northbound traffic circle and onramp.

Not only are we getting 100s of plants along the parkway on Casitas Pass Road, the landscape area leading to the freeway, on Via Real and all along the freeway corridor, but we even have plants on the actual overpass. The volume of plants seems to be much more than what is needed.

My question is where does the water come from for all of these plants? Who pays for it? And, who will maintain all of the green space? All the while, we have had to take out our lawn, replace landscaping with drought-tolerant landscaping and sparingly water what plants we have left.

“In Search of Small Gods”

By Jim Harrison

The late Jim Harrison’s “In Search of Small Gods” is a wonderful book to spend some time with, particularly in a place like Carpinteria. The poems in this collection refuse to sync with a fast-paced world. Instead, they steadily draw you into a way of seeing that is all about noticing the little things – listening for fledgling hawk cries, noticing what your dog notices, savoring moments and waiting to be astonished by whatever comes.

Jim Harrison’s gods take the shape of fish, herons, bobcats and bears. They appear in a coyote’s leap, in the unfreezing of spring, in taking the time to learn to

“Almost American Girl”

By Robin Ha

“Almost American Girl” by Robin Ha is a graphic novel memoir about her experience of moving from South Korea to Alabama. Growing up, it was only her and her mom. That is until they take a “vacation” to the United States which turns out to be permanent after her mother reveals that she will marry a man she met online.

Robin did not have a chance to say goodbye to her friends or to pack up her large comic book collection. Robin struggles to fit into her new environment. She has to acclimate to a new family, a new school and a new language at 14 years old. The memoir details her reckoning and how she finally accepts her new life and her mother’s decisions.

“Miles Morales: Spider-Man” written

by Jason Reynolds picks up shortly after the events of the 2018 movie, “Into the Spiderverse.” Miles is your average teenage boy. During the day he attends the prestigious Brooklyn Visions Academy, thanks to a scholarship. There he receives the best education in Brooklyn… sort of.

When Miles’ Spidey sense starts acting up it leads him into all sorts of trouble that could jeopardize his scholarship and his double life as Spider Man. In trying to juggle two lives, Miles must also endure listening to his racist teacher’s lectures on the history of slavery and the modern-day prison system. Meanwhile, he is also struggling with two conflicting sides of his own personal history. His uncle and father used to be hustlers, but since his father quit hustling, Miles now feels the pressure to not go down a dishonorable path – especially when he needs to save the world in secret.

Reynolds perfectly crafts an engaging story symbolizing the fight against the current system of racism as reflected in class, incarceration and the justice system – anchoring the classic superhero story to our reality. This is a perfect book to introduce young kids to real life social justice issues, as well as to open up conversations with youth about how history helps mold you, but it does not define you.

#CarpCares

For many, this past year has been a reminder that Carpinteria has a deeply rooted culture of caring. In this final week of her 10-week series, photographer Ingrid Bostrom captures portraits of some of Carpinteria’s most compassionate citizens.

ISA ALARCON AND LAURA FLORES

BY INGRID BOSTROM

ISA ALARCON AND LAURA FLORES Isa Alarcon and Laura Flores were nominated for their anti-racist activism.

Carpinteria High School seniors, Alarcon and Flores (along with two other classmates) organized the Black Lives Matter rally in downtown Carpinteria in June 2020. Sophia Nakasone (not pictured) reached out to Alarcon and Flores after the event, inviting them to co-found the Diversify Our Narrative Carpinteria Chapter.

Diversify Our Narrative (DON) is a student-led initiative that urges school boards to expand curriculum with diverse and anti-racist texts.

“It was evident that the education teens and children were receiving in my district were all one-sided Eurocentric narratives, with a lack of adequate cultural representation,” said Alarcon. “I am very passionate about diversity and felt compelled to push DON’s initiatives because it’s so crucial to look at situations from different perspectives. My newly found confidence and advocacy has been beneficial and now I’ve learned to be unafraid to ask questions and challenge the status quo.”

“Carpinteria is a wonderful community, but we have so much left to learn about each other,” added Flores. “Through the work we have been doing with DON to promote an anti-racist, diverse curriculum, we are setting the stage so future generations will be more empathetic and understanding of one another. We are not doing this work for ourselves but for all of Carpinteria!”

Multicultural Literature is a new class that has been added to the curriculum at Carpinteria High School since Alarcon, Flores and Nakasone have advocated for changes. May these seniors leave behind a legacy that broadens diverse offerings in our schools and opens the minds and hearts of our community as a whole.

In search of the big bird at Pinnacles National Park

CVN

IN THE NATUREHOOD NANCY BARON When Covid hit last year, my husband and I decided to buy a used sprinter van as an escape mobile into nature. We bought it sight unseen from a couple in San Francisco. They met us in Paso Robles, gave us a quick intro to #vanlife and off we drove. We have not looked back.

This spring we have been getting out in search of birds and wildflowers in Vincent Van Go, as we named our sprinter.

Recently, we headed north to Pinnacles National Park. Pinnacles, a national monument since 1908, was upgraded to national park status in 2013. The drive, less than four hours from here, is green and pastoral once you turn off at King City – farms and rangelands dotted with mature oaks.

Pinnacles is a park for climbers, hikers and nature lovers. The pinnacles themselves, are the remains of ancient volcanos – a stark surprise arising from the Salinas Valley and rolling hills that surround it. Trails wind upwards over spires of stone and through water-carved caves. The volcanos were born some 23 million years ago and carried north by the plate movements along the San Andreas Fault. Over the millennia, wind and water erosion chiseled the rock towers.

The park’s varied landscapes are home to many rare and diverse animals including numerous bat species that inhabit the caves. There are over 400 species of wild bees, the most in North America (we came upon a huge colony buzzing out of a tree), endangered red-legged frogs and varied reptiles. In addition to the chaparral there are magnificent mature trees rarely seen anymore – giant sycamores, oaks and feathery pines.

We rolled into our campsite tucked beneath a giant oak that was coming into flower and swarming with birds – Black-headed Grosbeaks singing their warbling song, Golden-crowned Sparrows foraging on the ground and violet-green Swallows swooping through the air eating insects. On every standing snag were Acorn Woodpeckers like troops of clowns calling wacka, wacka, wacka.

We had a vague hope to see condors.

The park co-manages all of the wild condors in central California along with the Ventana Wildlife Society. Years ago, we went to Pinnacles in search of condors, and carefully examined every Turkey Vulture soaring overhead. Could that be a condor? Could that? Maybe an immature one? I squinted and looked for the white wing linings. (Turkey vultures in contrast are darker on the leading edge and have pale gray flight feathers.)

It’s hard to imagine a bird with a wingspan of nearly ten feet. Condors date back to 40,000 years ago when many animals were mega-sized and offered the big birds a reliable amount of food to scavenge.

Each dead animal they found offered a bonanza. Condors are able to go a week or even two without eating, and soar vast distances in search of food.

California Condors almost blinked out due to habitat loss, hunting, DDT contamination, but above all, lead poisoning. Condors inadvertently pick up lead from the bullet fragments left in gut

piles by hunters which outright kills them or causes so much neurological damage they cannot function and starve. Many hunters and ranchers have switched to non-lead bullets as the detrimental impacts on wildlife have become understood, and now can provide clean food on the landscape for many scavenging species including condors.

The last 22 birds were captured in the 1980s. Since then, there has been an intensive and expensive captive breeding program to reintroduce them into the wild.

As of 2020 there are now 504 condors with 186 wild birds in California, 93 of which live in Pinnacles and the Ventana Wilderness according to Dan Ryan, a wildlife biologist at Pinnacles National Park. In Pinnacles, the condors are baited into traps with dead calves from partnering organic dairies for health checks and to attach transmitters but they are no longer subsidize fed as they were at first.

We had hardly arrived, set up camp and poured a glass of wine when we looked up. Soaring overhead, with the steadiness of a water bomber, was a California condor. None of this tilting back and forth like Turkey Vultures. It was unmistakable. The white underneath of the enormous wings glowed in the evening light. It felt like gazing back in time.

I went to bed that night with the vision of the condor aglow in my mind.

The next morning, we hiked across the Pinnacles on the High Peaks trail, wending our way through the rock spires. Their height and remoteness make them safe nesting sites for many birds. The trick for spotting nests is looking for white streaks of guano on the rocks. Ravens flew by with sticks and White-throated Swifts whizzed past on boomerang wings, tucking into crevices high above. Rounding a corner my husband Ken nearly stepped on a large rattlesnake that was defensively coiled and rattling – ready to strike. We leapt backwards, then scrambled uphill to give it wide berth. We watched until the snake relaxed from feeling it was threatened and slide away.

The second day, we hiked up Condor Gulch and the Blue Oak Trail enjoying abundant spring flowers. While we ate lunch near the top of the rocky ridge a shadow blocked the sun. We looked up.

Two condors flew overhead, so close we could see their colorful heads, but I missed their tag numbers since all the birds are identified with colored wing tags on the Pinnacles website at nps.gov/ pinn/learn/nature/profiles.htm.

To see three condors in two days was thrilling. I wanted to know more about them. As we drove home, I wondered about their long-term survival. I resolved to talk to the people closest to the condor recovery efforts and to get the inside story. And that will be the subject of an upcoming “In the Naturehood” column.

The Pinnacles, the remains of ancient volcanic rocks eroded by wind, water and time, are a natural treasure to explore. At center, Bitter Root flowers emerge from the bare earth as if they had been scattered there. At right, the author’s husband Ken almost stepped on this rattlesnake. Both retreated to safety.

Eat your veggies!

CVN

WELLNESS WARRIOR LEAH HARDING I think I have yet to meet a person who says they eat too many veggies. We all know that veggies are good for us, but why is it so hard to get them into our bodies?

It’s partly due to taste and/or texture, though I suspect this isn’t the real reason that most people aren’t consuming more veggies. From what I’ve seen, people will eat more veggies if they are more easily accessible to include in meals or as snacks.

I have two suggestions to help with that.

1) Make a list of snacking veggies and meal veggies.

2) Spend 20 minutes right after getting home from the grocery store to prep some veggies for the week.

For example, for snacks, I love carrots, jicama, sugar snap peas and mini bell peppers because they are easy to grab and munch on raw. To supplement my dinner meals, I buy an onion or two, broccoli and/or cauliflower and some large bell

CVN

peppers. I add these to my cooked meals.

Because I prefer bagged bulk carrots to the less flavorful baby carrots, I’ll typically spend five minutes peeling them (saving the skins and tips for my neighbor’s two donkeys) and cutting them into 4” matchsticks that my whole family can easily bite into.

Jicama just needs to be skinned and cut into slices (if you don’t know what jicama is, it’s a large light brown root vegetable that is slightly sweet, very crisp, nutrient-packed, and great for snacking).

Mini bell peppers just need to be washed.

Voilà! Veggies snacks at the ready in under 10 minutes.

For my veggies that need to be cooked, I recommend prepping them by dicing one whole onion, trimming any broccoli and/or cauliflower (or your other veggies of choice), and julienne slice some large bell peppers. By doing this quick prep work, you will be more likely to get those veggies in the pan, when making dinner seems like an exhausting chore.

If you find you’re short on time (or energy) and prepping your veggies still sounds like too much work, stock up on frozen veggies. Frozen varieties have no additives or preservatives and are just as good as fresh, since they are flash frozen right after being harvested.

I have three favorite frozen varieties: riced cauliflower (finely cut to resemble rice), broccoli you can steam in the bag, and cut white corn. Both the cauliflower and broccoli are prewashed and take about five minutes in the microwave. The corn is nice to have on hand when fresh corn on the cob is not available. Plus, it’s so versatile! You can easily thaw it to add

to salads, mix into soup or cook for a few minutes as a side starch.

Precut and prepped veggies at the grocery store can be a great time saver. These are usually prepared in-house and are wrapped in deli packaging. These veggies come at a premium, but are worth it if it helps you ease into the world of veggies.

Additionally, veggie trays don’t have to just be for Superbowl and holidays!

All that said, if there are certain veggies you don’t like but everyone says are so good for you (I’m looking at you, kale!) just ignore them and eat what you like. If you’re already having a hard time getting in your veggies, eating veggies you don’t like will only make it harder to develop good veggie habits.

Do yourself a favor today and make one veggie change to provide your body with some good premium fuel. A serving is usually about a ½ cup (more for lettuce). If you are currently not eating any veggies, shoot for one serving until that

feels easy and up it from there. Remember that not all veggies need to be cooked and snacking on raw veggies counts just the same as eating cooked ones.

If you currently are only having one serving per day, try and up it to two.

If you’re having two, shoot for three. If you’re having more than four, pat yourself on the back and keep up the great work!

NOTE: Technically speaking, peppers are fruits, as are avocados, cucumbers, squash and tomatoes. However, if those are the only “veggies” you eat, it’s better to eat those than nothing at all!

THROWBACK

The Beat Generation comes to Rincon Point

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

THURSDAY

BY VINCE BURNS

These exuberant surfers were not the first to surf famous Rincon Point but they were among the first to rediscover the point after World War II, riding the waves of the Queen of the Coast on their monster wooden boards.

Probably the most well-known of the 1950s Rincon surfers was Dick Metz who snapped this photograph in 1951. Dick grew up in Laguna Beach but found his way to Santa Barbara in the early 1950s to attend what was then the Santa Barbara College of the University of California.

Like many beach lovers after him, Metz picked Santa Barbara for his studies mostly because of the excellent surf.

When not feuding with college officials over requirements like having to wear shoes on campus, Metz found plenty of time to surf Rincon with surfing pals including Billy Meng, Joe Riddick and many others. Among Metz’s memories of those early surfing days: Road trips north to Rincon and Santa Barbara. Starting in Hermosa Beach, Metz and crew would stop at Malibu for a surf and then drive on to Ventura and Rincon, eventually reaching Santa Barbara.

No wetsuits! Just like the 1930s surf pioneers at Rincon, Metz and company had only army-surplus wool to fight off Rincon’s cold water. Surfers wore wool sweaters into the water and generally had a beach fire going while they surfed. When a surfer was in the water, his partner was supposed to keep the fire going to warm his mate when he emerged from the waves. (Another 1950s Metz photo shows Billy Meng tending a fire at Rincon.)

Boards were limited! So, it was a “take turns” situation.

Today, Metz (going strong at a young 92 years old) is a legend of legends in the surfing world, directly or indirectly involved with some of the most important events in surfing history. Among them: a round-the-world surf trip (1958-1961) that prefigured and inspired the famous “Endless Summer” (1966) film, a partnership with Hobie Alter (of surfboard and sailing fame) that brought Metz into the surf business, and as founder of the Surfing Heritage and Culture Center in San Clemente to preserve the history of the sport (and as a repository for his world class surfboard collection).

Through all this, Rincon Point was a touchstone for Metz and his early crew of counterculture comrades who made surf history and bridged the gap between the earliest board riders of the 1930s and the explosion of the sport beginning in the 1960s.

So, if not Dick Metz and his crew, who was the first person to surf Rincon Point?

Local surf historians agree that Gates Foss (1915-1990) was likely “the first,” or at least the first Anglo American, to surf at Rincon Point, way back in the mid 1930s.

Foss was a local lifeguard who named Rincon Point “Three Mile” because of

DICK METZ/SURFING HERITAGE AND CULTURE CENTER ARCHIVES

Photo taken by Dick Metz of his friends and surf fans at Rincon Point, 1951. its distance from the Carpinteria train station.

Were Dick Metz and his merry crew of early surfers really “beatniks”? Although Carpinteria’s beaches are a long way from Greenwich Village, the Beats and early wave riders (and even a few surfers today) had much in common, most importantly a keen desire for new and “real” experiences over the evils of materialism, conformity and other adult concerns. In short: rebellion.

And certainly nothing could be more “real” than facing the icy winter water at Rincon Point with just cut-off jeans, a wool sweater and a massively heavy board. Clearly everyone in this historic photo seems to be having real fun!

Local resident and historian Vince Burns is researching, writing and collecting historical photographs and accounts for an upcoming book on the history of Rincon Point and the surrounding area. He is actively seeking photographs from the community for the project and is grateful for submissions of photographs for possible inclusion in the project. Vince will promptly scan and return your photographs.

He can be reached at vinceburns805@gmail. com and (805) 758-0338.

ROSANA SWING

It’s a winning streak for Warriors boys volleyball The Carpinteria Warriors boys volleyball team avenged their fifth set opening round loss to the Hueneme Vikings by beating them in three straight sets this Tuesday night. The scores were 25-23, 25-14, 25-23.

“We are playing a lot more aggressive now and covering our hitters a lot better,” said coach Mickey Caughey. “This gives our hitters a chance to get a few more swings at the ball and earn us a few more points. Our serving and hitting is greatly improved as our team recorded a total of 24 aces and 34 kills in the three sets; and our defense is really keeping us in the games as we recorded 140 digs on the night. Our current record is now 1-2 in League and 1-2 overall.”

Diesel Slade had an outstanding night with eight aces and 12 kills. Gavin Lohuis

contributed five aces, four kills, and 30 digs. Joaquin Gonzales contributed eight kills and Reyn Clayton brought up 27 digs.

At their next match, the Fillmore Flashes visited the Carpinteria Warriors in their fourth match of the season, with the Warriors taking three sets straight for the win. In a game in which all Warriors team members played, the scores were 25-15, 25-10, 25-15.

“We are now 2-2 Overall and 2-2 in League,” said coach Caughey. “And we keep getting better every time we play.

Our serving is the strongest part of our game right now. It’s extremely unusual for a team to get more aces than kills, but that’s what we did tonight. We scored 34 aces and 30 kills as a team. If we didn’t get an ace, we often forced them to pass out

Warriors welcome “May Madness”

May 2021 will be the busiest month in the history of Carpinteria High School.

It’s crunch time academically, it’s AP testing month, prom is on the calendar, it’s time for muses and musical productions, FFA projects are fully underway, graduation is on the horizon and the Warriors remain active in 11 sports. Don’t blink or you are sure to miss huge portions of the action.

In Warrior Athletics, the upcoming week will start with a handful of Monday activities including a regular CHS Boosters meeting at 6 p.m. via Zoom and a drastically scaled-back 101st Russell Cup. CHS will follow Santa Barbara County Covid-19 guidelines allowing 750 people to attend this year’s Russell Cup. Attendees will include student athletes, coaches, volunteers, staff, and finally, a very small number of spectators from the immediate households of the athletes.

Covid-19 update: CHS continues to test participants in indoor sports and follows strict protocols for attendance at indoor and outdoor events. Masking is still required for all non-active participants and for some active participants per Santa Barbara County Department of Public Health protocols. Los Angeles County is not permitting travel across two county lines at the moment.

—Pat Cooney, Warriors athletic director

of system… Our all-around game is really coming along, and our blocking is now one of our strong points with us getting a total of 14 team blocks tonight.”

The team’s serving champion against Fillmore was Sebastian McCurry with a total of 12 aces, most of them coming from a low, flat trajectory, bullet float serve. McCurry had a long

serving run of 11 straight points in set two. Sol Ortega had six aces on the night, and a long serving run of eight straight points in set three. Gavin had four aces, five kills, three blocks and 29 digs. Coby Gonzalez led all blockers with a total of six and Zach Isaac led all attackers with 10 kills followed with four aces and two blocks.

May the force be with the Warriors!

Warriors boys tennis defeats Villanova

The Carpinteria High School boys tennis team defeated a sound Villanova squad in a non-league match, 10-8.

The team clawed for their 10th point in the second to last doubles set as it really came down to the wire but the doubles team of Mathew Endow/Connor Gralewski won in a tiebreak. The win clinched the match for the Warriors and completed their sweep in doubles to go 3-0. “They are really improving as a team and are starting to gel,” said coach Charles Bryants.

Ian Thomas/Zaiden Juarez won two of their three sets. “They played great the first two rounds but seemed to lose focus a bit in that third round as they were upset by the Wildcats #3 tandem,” said Bryants.

Nolan Martin/Ben Persoon went 1-2 on the day. “They too look strong at times, said Bryants. “They just need to do it much more consistently across the three rounds. In singles, we ran into a buzz saw as their #1 player, Timmy Quest, was playing the best I have seen him as he defeated our previously undefeated player, Austin Stone, 6-2. Not to play favorites, he also took out Austin’s brother Max by the same score. Quest was playing great and Austin and Max were playing solid, but not at their best, which was all the opening he needed to beat them.” Austin and Max Stone both finished 2-1 on the day.

“Although he did not win a set today, I was very impressed with Troy Zimmerman in singles,” Bryants said. “He handled himself well in his first singles outing of the year. He showed a lot of composure and determination out there today against three strong Wildcat players.”

Carpinteria is now 4-3 overall and still 2-0 in the Citrus Coast League.
