Carpinteria Baptist Church at 800 Maple Ave. is getting a new roof, a “major step forward” for the church, Pastor Charles Newton said this week. “Our building is well over 100 years old, and this year has marked a season of exciting renewal. We’ve seen significant growth spiritually, numerically, and in the condition of the building itself. Inside and out, the church has been undergoing improvements to better serve both our congregation and the community,” Newton said in an email, adding that the funds to replace the roof were donated by members of the church. We’re especially grateful for the generosity of our church family.”

Probable black bear droppings were found near Cameo Street and Casitas Pass Road on July 17. That area is located near ranch land and open space.
Around 2 p.m., the city of Carpinteria’s Animal Control and Code Compliance teams confirmed t at t e dro ings were li el lac ear scat according to t e cit press release sent out last week. Chickens on a nearby property were also attacked last week on Tuesday and Wednesday, a nearby property owner reported.
“We’re grateful to the resident who promptly reported this and we encourage others to do the same,” said Code Compliance Supervisor David Hernandez. “Community awareness is key to managing wildlife interactions safely and responsibly.”
The city has contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which is aware of ongoing bear activity in the area, per the city press release.
Residents should secure their trash and compost bins, bring bird feeders and pet food indoors, and keep small animals and pets inside at night. Do not approach or attempt to feed a bear or other wild animal.
CCP to host community defense training
The Carpinteria Children’s Project (CCP), the Carpinteria Immigration Rights Coalition (CIRC) and 805 UndocuFund have scheduled a community defense training for Thursday, July 24, at CCP.
Attendees will learn how to support undocumented community members by becoming legal res onders egal res onders document and re ort acti it o er “Know Your Rights” education, and can provide assistance to undocumented locals during immigration enforcement activities, CIRC representative Becki Norton said. our legal res onders were resent t e morning o ul w en unidentified immigration agents — without a warrant — confronted a man at the intersection of El Carro Lane and Eucalyptus Street,” Norton said. “Despite the man very likely attempting to assert his constitutional rights by showing an ACLU Rights card and legal observers reminding him to assert his rights, agents broke the window of his truck and took him into custody.”
There are currently 23 legal responders in Carpinteria. The group is hoping to double that.
The training will take place at the CCP campus auditorium, 5201 Eighth St., at 6–8 p.m. RSVP by calling (805) 566-1613 or emailing lcruz@carpchildren.org.

Carbajal introduces immigration reform bill
Congressman Salud Carbajal — with representatives Veronica Escobar and Maria Elvira Salazar and 17 other colleagues —introduced this week a bipartisan immigrant reform bill: the Dignity Act of 2025.
Congressman Carbajal serves California’s 24th congressional district, which covers Santa Barbara County and parts of San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties.
The bill tackles several reforms to the country’s immigration system, including granting legal status and protections to undocumented immigrants already living in the U.S.; reforms the asylum screening process; creates new regional processing centers; invests in border security; demands accountability from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and provides a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers. Dreamers — named under the Dream Act and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program — are undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children and have grown up here.
“Our country needs to reform our broken immigration system,” Congressman Carbajal said in a press release sent out Tuesday. “Immigrants have long been key to the American economy’s success, and I believe it’s in our country’s best interests to ensure the world’s talent can continue to come here. I’m proud to co-sponsor the bipartisan Dignity Act to provide a commonsense solution that will create improved pathways for legal immigration while bolstering our border security.”

Local advocacy groups rally amid ICE activity CIRC looks to expand
BY UN STAR Y
The raids and arrests carried out by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Carpinteria earlier this month have sent a ripple of fear through the small city. Several families have been separated, with some losing their sole income provider, while others are uncertain of their futures.
Organizations throughout Carpinteria and Santa Barbara County have been working together to provide resources to those impacted, including groceries, financial su ort legal in ormation and transportation.
Two advocacy groups — the Carpinteria Immigrant Rights Coalition (CIRC) and Carpinteria Indivisible — have res onded in di erent wa s e has been working directly with county programs to provide resources and information, and Carpinteria Indivisible has organized protests, offering the community a public outlet to express their thoughts.
The Carpinteria Immigrant Rights Coalition
Becki Norton and Deborah Dentler, the founders of the CIRC, had been preparing for encounters with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) long before agents appeared in Carpinteria in early July. They launched an email address, carpimmigrantcoalition @yahoo.com, and a quarterly newsletter: “The Pulse/El Pulso.”
“We saw the writing on the wall and we knew we had to get organized,” Norton told Coastal View News this week. The organization, which formed in mid-April of this year, began its work by keeping locals informed on ongoing ICE activity and distributing information about how to behave when coming into contact with ICE to the local undocumented population. CIRC works directly with the 805 UndocuFund, an organization that has been providing resources to undocumented residents throughout the Central Coast.
Shortly after forming, and after garnering a few volunteers, CIRC launched its Legal Observer Team. A legal observer is a person who monitors and documents interactions between law enforcement and the public, especially during protests or demonstrations, Norton said.
This team currently has 24 members. The group patrols Carpinteria and the surrounding areas in shifts, beginning from 5:45 a.m. to 6 p.m. Not all shifts are taken due to the number of members, Norton said, but some locals outside of CIRC will also patrol the area and submit information to the group.
The legal observer team will monitor the town, checking for familiar vehicles associated wit and re ort an find ings to the group’s secure chat on Signal. Signs of ICE agents are submitted to the 805 UndocuFund, which will verify the sighting and send out alerts to the community through its 24/7 Rapid Response Hotline at (805) 870-8855.
The team is encouraged to work in pairs, Norton said, and are briefed on their limitations as legal observers. They are allowed to s ea to o cers and t e people being interrogated or arrested, but they must remain on public property and may not interfere with the investigation.
Norton and other legal observers were on the scene on July 8 when ICE arrested a man in a residential neighborhood who was on his way to work. The legal observers used a megaphone to inform the man of his rights in Spanish, Norton said. She was also present during the ICE raid of Glass House Farms on July 10.
Norton said she is encouraging the
legal observer team, as Carpinteria Indivisible plans weekly protests
team members to attend any of the upcoming legal observer training, such as the upcoming training at the Carpinteria Children’s Project on Thursday, July 24, 6–8 p.m., co-sponsored by CIRC and the 805 UndocuFund.
She aims to have all members attend at least one training session. Team members are provided with badges; Norton said she hopes to eventually provide brightly colored T-shirts to make the observers easier to identify in public.
CIRC’s Legal Observer Team will also serve as security for certain events in Carpinteria catered to the undocumented population.
“Reducing fear is our number one responsibility to the community,” Dentler said.
Dentler also said CIRC has enabled families to properly exercise their rights after a family member has been arrested by ICE. For example, those arrested by ICE are allowed to have changes of clothes and any prescribed medication provided by family members, per Dentler. Members of CIRC —many of whom, like Norton, are bilingual — will inform family members of how to proceed after an arrest.
“If we weren’t out patrolling the community, and observing and taking documented footage of these events, the in ormation can all o t e cli entler said.
CIRC members are also working with organizations like the Carpinteria Children’s Project and its Family Resource Center, which hosts legal observer training programs, donation events for families, and provides transportation from volunteer drivers.
Carpinteria Indivisible
Carpinteria Indivisible’s president Carol Kernahan was “very shaken” by the raid and following protest at Glass House Farms in Carpinteria on July 10, and she felt obligated to provide an outlet for the community to vent.
“I can’t just curl up… and wait for this to pass,” she told Coastal View News. She spent the following 36 hours after the raid preparing for a march to declare “ICE out of Carp!” on Saturday, July 12.
To keep the protest peaceful, Kernahan informed local law enforcement and businesses of the protest’s route, when it would take place and the guidelines for
those protesting. The guidelines included not engaging with agitators, remaining on the sidewalk and keeping a peaceful environment.
Carpinteria Indivisible is part of the national Indivisible organization, formed during the beginning of President Donald rum s first term in t e ar interia chapter launched in 2017. Carpinteria Indivisible has hosted four protests so far this year, Kernahan said, and she hopes to continue protesting ICE presence in Carpinteria.
“I want Carpinterians to remember the horror of what happened,” Kernahan said.
Members of Carpinteria Indivisible will begin protesting ICE on Carpinteria’s Peace Corner — located at the intersection of Carpinteria and Linden avenues — every Friday from 5–6 p.m., Kernahan said. The group also hosts general meetings on t e first uesda o eac mont 5:30 p.m. at the Rancho Granada Mobile Home Park, where members discuss reports from the Carpinteria Immigrant Rights Coalition and make calls to their local representatives about the presence of ICE in Carpinteria.

Sharon Lee Kohnke 08/26/1947 —07/14/2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sharon Lee Howenstine-Kohnke. She was called to meet her Lord and Savior on July 14, 2025 at 3:23 a.m.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Don and Betty Howenstine.
She is survived by her siblings, Donna Araluce and Ron Howenstine; her two daughters, Shannon Lee Colson (Jr. Colson) and Nicole Deane Kohnke (David Davis); her grandchildren, Mario John Coletti, Kaitlin Nicole Coletti (Adrian Nico Galvan), Nicholas Anthony Coletti, Christy and David Segovia, and David, Amber, AJ (JJ) and Cameron Segovia; great-granddaughter Amelia Machelle Galvan; and many nieces and nephews who she loved dearly.
Truth be told, she had a favorite nephew who she referred to as Bradley Cooper aka Matthew Arndt. However, the person she held in highest regard was Martin Topham. He was her everything, her best friend, and the family is grateful for him!
Sharon loved her family and friends. She was a woman of faith! She also loved the town of Carpinteria! If you couldn t find er all ou ad to do was go to the Salt Marsh or the Beach; she was adamant that those places kept her in a good place mentally and spiritually! She was passionate about attending events and was looking forward to the upcoming Carpinteria High School 60th class reunion in September. She was to attend with her sister-in-law Linda Husted, and they were looking forward to it!
The past year had its ups and downs. Her poor little heart had only been putting out at 23% but if you knew Sharon, that did not stop her. Last summer, after discussing her condition with her doctor she planned a two-week trip to Colorado with Martin Topham. The doctor told her she might not make it back, but she did.

More than a dozen reportedly undocumented Carpinteria residents or workers were arrested by Immigration and Customs (ICE) agents earlier this month, as President Donald Trump’s administration shifts its immigration policy to focus on detaining all people in the United States who are undocumented, not just those who have criminal records beyond entering the country illegally.

Roughly 350 farmworkers were also picked up in an ICE raid at the Glass House Farms operation in Camarillo that same day, and 14 minors were also detained while working at Glass House in Camarillo, per the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). No minors were found working in Carpinteria.
Per the Santa Barbara Independent, none of the people detained in Carpinteria in the July 10 Glass House Farms raid had felony convictions. Of the roughly 350 farmworkers detained in Camarillo, a dozen had serious felony convictions, per information released by DHS.
Fundraisers launched in the aftermath have shed light on the stories of those arrested by ICE and the families who were left behind. Friends, family and neighbors have posted on GoFundMe, a popular fundraiser platform, sharing their stories and asking for help to pay for attorneys, bail funds, and basic needs.
For two separate Carpinteria families, the detention of fathers and husbands early the week of July 7 left wives without access to their respective husbands’ bank accounts, according to Tricia Humbles, whose own kids went to school with the children whose fathers were detained by ICE.
Humbles this month launched a GoFundMe for the two families to help them pay for rent, basic needs and legal fees. She requested anonymity for the two families, citing concerns about ICE.
“These are hardworking, kind families with young children who are now trying to cope with the pain of separation and uncertainty. One father was taken in broad daylight from a grocery store parking lot,” Humbles wrote online. “The ICE agents re used to ro ide identification or badge numbers. There was no warning,
She added: “They’re scared to go outside. Both families are staying inside as much as they can because they’re really scared of ICE coming. For one of the families, when the father/dad was taken, ICE was parked outside of their house, watching the house.”

A woman and man were contacted as their vehicle was getting dropped off by a tow truck. The woman is on active probation and a search of her property showed she had meth, a meth pipe and a container of pepper spray. She is a convicted felon and prohibited from owning pepper spray. A baggie of meth was found in the center console and since no one wanted to claim it, the man was given ownership since it was his vehicle.

A woman and man were in a vehicle with a stolen license plate, reported to Santa Barbara Police Department. A traffic stop was initiated, and it was determined the vehicle was not stolen, but was rented a few weeks ago by the woman. She thought the “PERM” on the Arizona license plate meant it was only a “permit” for the vehicle and not an actual license plate. So, to avoid getting pulled over, they placed a stolen plate on the car, she said. After a search of nearby motel rooms associated with the subjects, they, and the woman’s sister, were cited for possession of stolen property, meth and paraphernalia.

Standing with our students and families
BY SUSAN SALCIDO, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Recently, I’ve heard directly from youth in our schools — many carrying a weight too heavy for their young shoulders. Some are afraid to leave their family members, fearful that someone might swoop in and take them away.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in and around Santa Barbara County is creating uncertainty and fear. Even for those not directly impacted, we know that children absorb the stress and tensions in their surroundings. What happens to the children directly a ected se arated rom t eir am ilies and left holding a bag of unknowns?
Most of us have zero direct control over federal policy. But we do have control over what we stand for. Here, communities re ect a wide range o dee l eld beliefs and lived experiences. We have friends, neighbors, colleagues, and family members on opposite sides of the political aisle. That’s part of living in a democracy.
When it comes to children, I believe we stand on common ground: children deserve to feel safe and loved. They need compassion and care. They need family. And they deserve to live and learn without fear.
“There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children” — words of wisdom from Nelson Mandela, and words that I believe tell the truth.
In public education, we are confronting another truth as we prepare to welcome students back for the new school year: as committed as we are to educating every child, the pendulum is shifting — and it’s taking wide swipes at the systems and supports that help children thrive.
Since the new federal administration too o ce in anuar e ecuti e actions have triggered a cascade of disruptions in education. Most recently, a freeze on billions of dollars in education grants — including funds for mental health services, migrant student support, and professional development for educators — has left school districts across the country in limbo. U.S. Supreme Court decisions have added uncertainty around civil rights enforcement, LGBTQ+ student protections, program oversight and student services.
We cannot predict every challenge the school year may bring. Nor can we control all that happens beyond our campuses. But our mission remains unchanged:
So far, local ICE activity has appeared to focus on adults, not children. But we know how quickly that can change.
to lawfully protect and support every student, and to create the conditions where all children can learn and grow.
California law guarantees all children the right to a free public education. Schools do not ask for or collect immigration information. We do not share student data with immigration authorities unless presented with a valid court order. Immigration o cers are not ermitted on campus without a judicial warrant. These safeguards help keep schools what they are meant to be: places of learning, safety, and connection.
So far, local ICE activity has appeared to focus on adults, not children. But we know how quickly that can change. In New York, when ICE agents approached athletes directly, a youth baseball coach stepped in, invoking their Fifth Amendment rights. His actions were a reminder that when it comes to youth safety, we have to step in and up.
None of us can predict with certainty what is to come next. What gives me hope is what I see every day in our schools and communities: educators creating welcoming spaces, community members showing up for their neighbors, and people of all backgrounds coming together on common ground.
Let’s remember that protecting children is not political; it is a shared human value. Let us ensure that when history asks how we treated our children, the answer re ects our er est an ou to our community who keeps showing up — for one another, and most of all, for our youth.

Donate groceries for local families in need
We have all been appalled and angered by federal forces sweeping in and abducting our immigrant friends and neighbors. Now it is the time for the community to care for the mothers and children left behind. The mothers cannot go shopping; they are rightfully scared to leave their homes!
Carpinteria Immigrant Rights Coalition (CIRC) has published a list of items that are needed by these families, and the Carpinteria Children’s Project has volunteered to be the collection spot. So, please, on your next visit to the grocery store, add some of these items to your list and dro t em o at t e ar interia ildren’s Project: cooking oil, sugar, tortillas, rice, beans, eggs, laundry detergent, dish soap, and milk.

Asking local leaders to focus on immigration
Senator Schiff, Senator Padilla and Congressman Carbajal: Please move Congress away from the distraction — e re stein ile t e media ocuses on him, they don’t have to talk about Trump ripping families apart, removing wage earners from our cities and towns. Carpinteria, California, a small town of 14,000, is already feeling the economic e ects on rofits are struggling to fill the needs of those left behind. or t e lus eo le idna ed from our Glass House on July 10, dozens of immediate family members need assistance. Thousands of relatives feel the pain. These are big, close-knit families. Tens of thousands of people feel the direct impact — fear, anger, loss.
Please address the needs of our small towns and t e undreds o ot ers a ected by the largest military, best-funded private militia in the world. They’re coming for the rest of the towns all over America. They won’t stop with California.

Report Camarillo Glass House farm detainee crimes
Buried on page 14 of last week’s Coastal View News “Misinformation” article (Vol. 31, No 44), under the heading “What we don’t know” is a list of names of undocumented workers who have “criminal records beyond entering the country illegally.” As a service to your readers perhaps you could have included their crimes, so we know who is possibly working in our community.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, this is what you left out: Roman Izquierdo was convicted of kidnapping, attempted rape and attempted

The DHS has said at least 10 minors were found working in Camarillo; Glass House has denied hiring minors.

Ukrainians were eligible for refugee status under the Biden administration, but the Trump White House halted that program — while simultaneously granting refugee status to white South African landowners. We have lots of immigrants living and working in Carpinteria. Most are thriving, contributing to our community and its economy, but some are in desperate need of food, supplies, and legal advice because their primary wage-earner was abducted from our streets and is sitting in a distant detention center.

Sad to see executive director leave Alcazar
Our town’s beloved Alcazar Theatre has been alive with new energy.
The Alcazar has upped its game — hosting special events, foreign films, vintage favorites, school productions, stand-up, drag shows, and community discussions. There’ve been physical improvements to the venue, too. My friends and I often ask: Shall we hit happy hour, or head to The Alcazar? (Luckily, they serve lovely wines.)
Much of this momentum was supercharged when Debbie Nomura stepped in as executive director. Her real-world experience, drive, and boundless enthusiasm were contagious. Under her leadership, The Alcazar became a place for diverse, funny, intimate, and cozy gatherings. It felt like a true community hub.
The board of directors chose to end her term as executive director last week.
I don’t know the details — and frankly, I don’t care to. I just wish, for Debbie’s sake and for ours, that it hadn’t happened. I adore her. I’m profoundly sad to see her go.
Thank you, Debbie, for all you did for us. For your spark, your tireless work, and for becoming a true friend.

videographer Larry Nimmer for his “Everyone Has a Story” series.
Videographer records stories about immigrants living in Carpinteria
Carpinteria videographer Larry Nimmer’s new series “Everyone Has a Story” has pivoted to focus on stories from locals about immigrants and immigration, amid growing concerns about the presence of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Santa Barbara County.
“Everyone Has a Story” has been an ongoing project for Nimmer, but he said he switched his focus to stories about and from immigrants and undocumented locals after hearing people speak out at the special meeting tackling immigration enforcement concerns held by the Carpinteria City Council on July 10.
The meeting was held after three sightings of ICE the week of July 7. At least thirteen Carpinteria residents or workers were arrested.
The series — done in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Carpinteria Noon — has 25 entries so far, Nimmer said, with interviews ranging from a few minutes to over an hour. Clips of these interviews are posted to the “Everyone Has a Story” YouTube channel. Nimmer interviewed
subjects at protests, such as the “ICE out of Carp” protest on July 12, or at local events such as concerts or the St. Joseph Church Festival, which took place from July 11 to July 13.
One of these interviews was with Santa Barbara attorney Beatriz Pimentel Flores.
“I support immigrant rights because everybody has a right to dignity and respect, irrespective of their status,” Flores said in her interview. “We need immigrant rights. We need them here, we need (immigrants) working, because it helps them and it helps us. It enriches both sides.”
Nimmer has been working on the “Everyone Has a Story” series for more than 10 years, he said, and has recorded more than 600 stories. “I like giving people a platform to tell stories,” Nimmer said.
Those interested in learning more or submitting their stories may reach out to Nimmer at larry@nimmer.net. The Rotary Club of Carpinteria is also accepting donations to boost the series online.

ATTENTION!
A big part of our job at the Carpinteria Sanitary District is making sure that the underground sewer pipelines in our community are working properly and that all the wastewater from our customers’ homes and businesses makes it safely to the treatment plant. With over 45 miles of buried sewer pipeline beneath the streets of Carpinteria, ranging in size from 6-inch to 21-inch diameter and up to 20 feet deep, this is no simple task.
Our Administration Office Has Temporarily Moved To: 111O Eugenia Place Carpinteria, CA 93O13
a water-proof and very rugged steerable crawler that can travel up to 1,000 feet down a pitch-black sewer pipeline. Powerful LED lights illuminate the pipeline, and the camera head rotates and zooms to look at the full circumference of the pipe. Our trained professionals operate the down-pipe camera from the inspection van where the camera view is displayed on monitors.

In the olden days, sewer systems were largely “out of sight, out of mind.” Today, however, we take a very proactive approach to maintaining this critical infrastructure. Not only does the Carpinteria Sanitary District regularly clean all 45 miles of underground sewer pipeline, we also implement a comprehensive inspection program designed to identify problems before they become serious.
Our Mailing Address Remains The Same:
53OO Sixth Street Carpinteria, CA 93O13
Since early 2023 the district has employed an all-electric Ford E-Transit van to perform sewer inspections. All of the CCTV equipment and computer systems run on batteries that are charged by on-board solar anels e are one o t e first agencies in California to have a true zero emission CCTV pipeline inspection system.
Please Call Us With Any Questions 8O5-684-7214
How do you clean a sewer, one might ask? There are a number of techniques, but we rely on our Vactor 2100 Plus combination sewer cleaning machine to do the heavy lifting. This heavy-duty vehicle is equipped with a high pressure water pump and 600 feet of durable hose that we use to jet the sewer lines from one manhole to the next, usually about 300 feet at a time. Specially designed nozzles are used to cut away roots that may have grown into pipe joints and to remove grease, debris and any accumulated grit. You may have seen the Vactor around town and noticed its long snorkel tube and large tank. This is a powerful vacuum system we use to suck all of the material out of the pipe so it is not carried downstream.
Some pipes in our system require more frequent cleaning than others. The district uses a computerized maintenance management system to optimize pipe cleaning schedules and to document our wor ow n we cleaned a total o 42 miles of pipe and we are on target to do about the same this year. For small diameter lateral sewers, the four- or sixinch diameter pipes from your property line to the sewer main in the street, we use a similar high pressure jetting system. This smaller system sits in the back of a one-ton utility truck.
Pipeline inspection is just as important as routine cleaning. We use a remotely controlled, high resolution video camera system to inspect the underground sewer system. It’s a harsh environment down there, and our CCTV camera is built into
Our operators are highly trained to review the live video stream and to document and quantify any observed defects in the pipeline. They enter observations in a standardized coding system used to accurately compare observations throughout the system. We look for cracks, broken pipe and other structural issues caused by earthquakes or ground movement. Tree roots or groundwater intruding into defective pipe joints or poorly constructed lateral connections are also carefully documented.
The detailed condition assessment data generated from the district’s ongoing ins ection e orts ecomes t e asis for strategic repair and replacement as part of our ongoing capital improvement program. CCTV pipeline inspection takes significantly more time and resources than hydro cleaning, but we ensure that the entire system is inspected at least once e er fi e ears
The real goal of this comprehensive pipeline maintenance program is to prevent blockages in the sewer system that could result in sewer spills, which could impair water quality or pose a threat to public health. The hard work put in by the district’s collection system team is paying o we consistentl a e one o t e highest performing sewer systems in the state with a remarkably low incidence of spills or reported problems. Knocking on wood here, but making sure our system is never out of sight or out of mind is paying o in ar interia oo or more in ormation about sewer system management on our website at carpsan.com.

We are all photographers in Carpinteria! Look what we have all around us to photograph... mountains, winter sunsets, the beach, this town. I am truly blessed to have landed here in 2012. I always wished by children could have grown up here, but now my grandchildren are growing up here and only a short bike ride away. To have my family in Carpinteria is magical and for that I am thankful.
I appreciate being able to share my photos with you every week. So thank you, friends, for all your positive feedback and support while I am just “livin’ the dream” here in this awesome little beach town. — Robin Karlsson
I was so grateful to Lisa and Len Price for renting me their cute motherin-law suite while I looked in a very “hot” market. As the months went by in a hot housing market, one thing was certain: I had to make Carpinteria my home, and with that, the vision was realized.
What is amazing to me is the “giving spirit” of Carpinteria. I was so welcomed by everyone, and so in return, I give back in any way I can to this beautiful community.
I am also a passionate volunteer for Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network and assist Channel Islands Marine & Wildlife Institute (CIMWI). My passion is with all wildlife, but raptors are my absolute favorite. I also recently joined the board of Ojai Raptor Center.
I believe my photography of birds and marine animals has taken on a new life since I started rescuing precious wildlife around Santa Barbara. It is one thing to photograph these beautiful birds, but it is another to rescue them. I feel something special while looking at them now through a camera lens.
Almost any day of the week you can find me at Rincon, Padaro Beach or trekking the Mesas and preserves of Carpinteria and our central coast assisting in rescues or capturing images of the beauty around us.

Pictured in 1967 is the city’s original police department. One of the pro-city incorporation arguments made leading up to the 1965 election was that Carpinteria would be improved by forming its own police force rather than relying on Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department services. Carpinteria’s police department lasted just over two decades before the decision was made to contract once again with the county.

When Rich Medel unearthed a pair of his father’s elementary school annuals from the 1930s, he uncovered a rarely seen slice of Carpinteria history. His father, Lucio Medel, was born in 1920 and attended school during Carpinteria’s ugly era of segregation. Children of Mexican descent all went to Aliso School in the 1920s through 1947, while white students attended other campuses.
The properties that now belong to Girls Inc. and Foothill Nursery once were owned by John and Ruth Rock, who raised four daughters and a variety of crops on the acreage.
Deputies responded for a blue code. Upon arrival, the Carpinteria Fire Department and American Medical Response were already performing lifesaving interventions. After approximately 30 minutes had elapsed, the 77-year-old subject was pronounced deceased.

The Rocks wed in 1917 and shortly after purchased property on Foothill Road from the George Cravens family. George had his home carted away, and John and Ruth built a small house in which to start their family. Over the years, the Rocks expanded their family to include daughters Mary, Adell, Joan and Bambi. According to Joan Rock Bailard, the family home grew alongside the family. “Two wings were added as girls were added on,” she remembered.

A woman and man were in a vehicle with a stolen license plate, reported to Santa Barbara Police Department. A traffic stop was initiated, and it was determined the vehicle was not stolen, but was rented a few weeks ago by the woman. She thought the “PERM” on the Arizona license plate meant it was only a “permit” for the vehicle and not an actual license plate. So, to avoid getting pulled over, they placed a stolen plate on the car, she said. After a search of nearby motel rooms associated with the subjects, they, and the woman’s sister, were cited for possession of stolen property, meth and paraphernalia. Further investigation will be done for the fraudulently obtained EBT cards.

Junior Guards host “Carp Comp”
BY RYAN P. CRUZ
Carpinteria Junior Lifeguards hosted its annual “Carp Comp,” on July 11, welcoming 12 regional lifeguard programs for a day of athletic competition at Carpinteria City Beach.
Carpinteria’s Junior Guards fared well in the swimming, paddling, and running competitions, with the Carpinteria program earning second place overall in the competition. The top three lifeguard agencies were awarded custom-painted paddle trophies designed by renowned local artist Ben O’Hara.
“We are so thankful to Ben O’Hara for continuing to donate these amazing paddle trophies to the program,” said Aquatics Coordinator Lexi Persoon.
“We are so stoked to bring home the second-place paddle!”
Persoon said the event is more than just a lifeguard competition, but also emphasizes “connection and community” among participants.
“The common goal of the day was for the kids to have fun and build lasting friendships between agencies,” she said. “I’m so proud of our instructor team for putting this event together — it truly wouldn’t be possible without them and the incredible support from our parent volunteers.”
On July 18, Carpinteria’s junior guards traveled to Santa Barbara to participate in the Fiesta Competition. This past week, junior guards spent two days at Carpinteria Community Pool learning water rescue techniques.
Junior Guards of the Week: Week Five
After each week of the summer program, Carpinteria’s Junior Lifeguards leaders select two guards from each group that display great sportsmanship and attitude. Below are the best on the beach for the fifth week of summer guards.
In the Mini Group, instructors selected Ava Densmore and Sebastian Prins. Densmore has stood out as a great listener who has been enthusiastic and hard-working every day of Junior Guards.
Prins has excelled as a swimmer, runner and paddler, but instructors commended him for always keeping a smile on his face and being kind and respectful to teammates.
Evie Mayer and Jacob Understiller were the best in the C-Group. Instructors said Mayer has been an impressive athlete with an admirable attitude, and she turned in several notable performances during the Carpinteria and Fiesta competitions.
Understiller keeps a high energy and competitive spirit, and he played a crucial role in the Iron Guard Relay at the recent Fiesta Competition, helping his team
Junior Guards of the Week,
come in fourth place overall.
B-Group instructors chose Eddie Nesheim and Isla Crooke as the Guards of the Week. Nesheim stepped up big in the long-distance paddle at the Fiesta Competition w ere e finis ed in second lace after catching a shore break at East Beach.
Crooke has emerged as a tough com-
etitor and social utter on t e eac always willing to ask questions and speak her mind, which encourages everyone on the beach to make more friends.
The best in the A-Group were Amaya Kuryliw and Emilio Trigueros. Group instructors said Kuryliw has an infectious attitude and energy, and she has shown
mar ed im ro ement in t e ags and run relay competitions.
Trigueros is always putting in extra e ort and as ecome well res ected his fellow Junior Guards. Instructors said he is an all-round talent with a positive mindset.

A young Linden Avenue
Between 1910 and 1915, Linden Avenue was starting to come into its own. The new Palms Hotel can be seen tucked behind a row of shaggy palms, and the well-stocked Hickey Brothers Department Store stood proudly across the street. Electricity arrived in 1914. In 1912, the Carpinteria Chamber of Commerce published a booklet promoting the economic vitality of little Carpinteria and inviting new residents to join the community. According to the booklet, the town’s major enticements included, “A more even and delightful climate than Santa Barbara … Good churches, schools and social conditions … a wide-awake Chamber of Commerce … Asphalt pavements and walks, and abundant artesian water … Most attractive and safest beach in Southern California … An asphalt mine and the largest grapevine in the world … Most magnificent mountain and ocean scenery.”
The accompanying photo was snapped in 1913.
