Tiny birds — brown and white western snowy plovers — have made Carpinteria State Beach their home, so when visiting the area, keep an eye out and give them their space. The species, which breeds primarily on coastal beaches between Washington and Baja, California, is designated as threatened under the Endangered Species Act; there are fewer than 2,000 breeding plovers left on the Paciﬁc Coast, according to the California State Parks. Plover parents typically incubate their nests for up to four weeks, and plover chicks typically leave their nests within hours of hatching.

CWA flower sale brings in $8,000 for scholarships PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON

Locals picked up their Mother’s Day flowers at the Carpinteria Women for Agriculture’s (CWA) flower and plant market on Saturday, May 10. Flower and nursery growers donated bundles, while Future Farmers of America members set up and put the bouquets together. The $8,000 in proceeds will go back to CWA scholarship funds, which support local graduates continuing their education in agriculture-related fields.

Carpinteria Children’s Project:

Preschool and Family Support for a Stronger Community “Hola! Buenos dias!” repeats the smiling teacher as children who haven’t quite grown into their backpacks file into Carpinteria Children’s Project on a recent weekday morning. “How are you?” Little hands release their grip on a parent’s finger and find a book to open, a block to stack, or a friend to hug. And so another day at CCP begins. From preschool to parenting support, CCP’s services are designed to create ideal conditions for happy children and healthy families. “Parenting is hard—no matter your income or background,” said Teresa Alvarez, Executive Director of the Carpinteria Children’s Project. “All families face common challenges, so we go beyond high-quality childcare and early learning. Our whole-family approach connects caregivers to resources and information because when the family succeeds, the whole community benefits.” It takes a collaborative model to provide the resources a family may need. The two branches of CCP — Early Childhood Education and the Family Resource Center — operate hand in hand. Cognizant of the needs of working families, the preschool is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. to care for children throughout the whole workday. CCP understands that when families have their needs met, children have a greater chance of being happy at home and adapting to the classroom. Parents can learn important communication skills to create a strong bond with their child, connect with mental health services, or find referrals to address a child’s developmental challenges. And that’s just the beginning. “As a working mom, I know how overwhelming it can be to juggle work responsibilities and family life,” Alvarez said. “At CCP, you’re not alone–there’s always someone on our team who can hold space for you, provide you with the support you need, and connect you with resources.”

“All families face common challenges, which is why we go beyond highquality childcare and early learning from experienced teachers. Our whole-family approach connects caregivers to resources and education, because healthy and happy households are the core ingredient to a strong community.” –Teresa Alvarez Executive Director

Quality preschool for families

Support for the whole family

The search for affordable, quality childcare is a struggle that weighs heavily on most families. In addition to affordability, families want to find space at a trusted center that can cover the whole workday.

Children are most likely to thrive when their family thrives. To that end, CCP offers classes on the fundamentals of parenting, like “Dedicated Dads” and “Nurturing Parent.” Staff at CCP has a vast knowledge base of services available for families. If a local family is stressed, chances are, a staff member has supported another family with a similar issue and knows what resources are available.

Many families choose CCP for experienced educators who have been at the school for years. Classroom teachers and aides operate in optimal teacher-to-student ratios so they have the ability to engage all students and teach to individual learning styles. In the five classrooms at CCP, there are up to 75 students who learn in an environment that emphasizes socioemotional development. “We cannot emphasize the importance of early education enough and the need for all students to have a strong academic foundation,” said Guadalupe Perez, CCP’s Director of Early Learning. “When young children identify the classroom as a positive and productive pla ce, they are reaping the rewards and opening doors that come with quality education.” “Active exploration” is a predominant theme at all levels. By focusing on age-appropriate activities and teaching the whole child, teachers are not only providing the basic building blocks of academics, they’re creating lifelong learners and children who are well-equipped for the next steps in life. “We partner with organizations like Kathy’s Music and Movement and Wilderness Youth Project to offer our students enriching activities they truly enjoy,” Alvarez said. “Recently, the Noontime Rotary Club volunteered their time to clean up and enhance our outdoor yards. I know we’re creating something magical, because when I’m here, I think, ‘I wish I had a preschool like this when I was a child.’”

Dual Language Immersion Prep Students at CCP receive instruction in both English and Spanish, so no matter their home language, they will gain exposure to another language at an early age. Many of the students who graduate from CCP will attend elementary school at Carpinteria Unified School District and have the choice of the popular Dual Language Immersion program. As CCP strives to serve the whole community, it emphasizes multiculturalism that looks a lot like Carpinteria’s population.

“We don’t work in a silo, and we’re not here to reinvent the wheel,” Alvarez said. “Our team has the expertise and the relationships to make sure local families aren’t left to figure things out on their own. When someone walks through our doors, we say, ‘Come in. Let’s do this together. We are here for you.’” With its deep focus on the whole child and family, CCP is uniquely equipped to connect families to the resources they need when they need them. All children in the preschool will have regular assessments and, in partnership with parents, may be referred for interventions or other appropriate services offering support and a safety net. Families can also access on-site literacy programs that foster a love of reading, such as the Family Latino Literacy Project, along with community-building events throughout the year, like Día del Niño. In addition, community members in need of food or facing financial hardship can access food, diapers, and clothing through CCP’s basic needs programs. Families facing hunger or financial hardship can access food and diapers through regular distributions offered by CCP. “We know that when families feel supported and empowered, they’re able to show up for their children, and this is where the magic happens,” said Alvarez.

Obituaries

Arthur “Art” Edward Dobreski 01/20/1940 — 03/01/2025

Arthur “Art” Edward Dobreski passed away on Saturday, March 1, 2025, after suffering a stroke. He was welcomed into Heaven by his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and his sweetie, Carole. Art was born and raised in Bristol, Connecticut. He attended Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where he studied electrical engineering. While attending college in Worcester, he met and married his beloved wife, Carole. After having their three children, they moved to California, settling in Carpinteria. Art was the cherished husband of

CVN

Carole for over 60 years; dad to Michael Dobreski (Suzy), Kathy Sharp (Randy) and Maureen Learned (Jeﬀ); a wonderful papa to Andrew, Kendall, Nathan, Grace, Michael, David, Benjamin, Shanna, Connor, Lacey, Mia, Jemma and Dawson; and great-grandpa to Parker. Over the years, Art worked for various companies, where he achieved much success. However, his years at Westmost College were his favorite. At Westmont, he faithfully led the facilities department and oversaw many of the improvements to the campus, but most importantly, he formed lifelong friendships. Art was an Eagle Scout and actively served in the organization for many years. He was actively involved in his church, serving on the board, participating in Bible study, and welcoming others as a greeter. Art lived a life that exempliﬁed love, service and generosity. He was quick to serve, quick to tease and joke, and quick to love. He was kind, loving, and very wise. Art loved his Savior, Jesus Christ. Before he passed away, he expressed how ready he was to be with Him. Art was a blessing to those who knew him, and he will be greatly missed. A Celebration of Life will take place on Sunday, May 25, at Montecito Covenant Church at 3 p.m. In place of flowers, please donate to Westmont College’s scholarship fund.

PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

Holy spirit, you who made me see everything and showed me the way to reach my ideals.

VIEWPOINT From isolation to connection BY JENA JENKINS

Editor’s Note: Part 3 of 5. This Viewpoint was submitted by HopetNet of Carpinteria, a local grassroots suicide prevention non-profit, for Mental Health May. A couple of weeks ago, I was driving with my husband when he very graciously waited for someone to pull out of a driveway and go in front of him. Out of character for him, I said, “What’s up with you?” He explained: “It’s all about the wave.” At that moment, the driver of the other car gave a big smile and a positive wave. I looked at my husband, he smiled back, and we were on our way. I think about this a lot. Sometimes, it really is all about the wave — or the smile, the giggle, even the handshake. Because the truth is, we are social creatures. Humans were made to interact. The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History clarifies the importance: “Sharing food, caring for infants, and building social networks helped our ancestors meet the daily challenges of their environments.” We were social to survive, and even though surviving the elements has gotten much easier in many ways, this still holds true. When this connection is taken away, it can be devastating. Many people, especially our aging population, face isolation and loneliness. According to the Centers for Disease Control, loneliness and social isolation can significantly impact both mental and physical health, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, depression, anxiety, cognitive decline — even premature death. Research shows time and time again how vital connection is. So, why has it become so difficult for so many? For some, it’s the obvious things, like health or geography, but for many, it’s much more complex. Resistance is not unique to the aging population; it is a common psychological barrier encountered across all age groups. According to Dr. Joe Nash, several psychological factors contribute to resistance. One factor is denial. Many people choose not to see the needs that are right in front of them. Someone with declining mental or physical health may continually tell themselves and others that they are fine on their own. I know from firsthand experience that sometimes it’s very hard to see the reality of your situation when you’re in the middle of it. A second factor is interpersonal costs. The fear of disapproval or criticism from their peers can be paralyzing for some, preventing them from seeking connec-

Past negative experiences with relationships can also lead to skepticism and fear. We’ve all heard the saying, “Once bitten, twice shy.” And then there’s that nagging fear of the unknown. When we step out of isolation, we no longer have control of our environment. Taking this risk can seem more threatening than beneficial. The longer we embrace this negative internal talk, the harder it becomes to pull ourselves — or others — out. It is vital that we now start looking at strategies to overcome isolation. Here are some suggestions that might help. Start small. Begin with low-commitment activities. Try a brief phone call or a short visit. Personal, one-on-one interactions are often less intimidating than group settings. Highlight the benefits of getting out. Emphasize the positive outcomes of social interaction to yourself or someone else. Recall success stories of others who have successfully re-engaged with their communities. Create a routine. Routines offer a sense of anticipation and normalcy. Gradual exposure to new events or activities ensures that individuals are not overwhelmed. By overcoming resistance to change and embracing an empathetic approach to combating loneliness — both for ourselves and others — we can transform isolation into meaningful connection. In a time when many of us may feel increasingly disconnected, simple acts like a wave, a smile or a handshake can become powerful reminders of our shared humanity.

E-bikes are accidents waiting to happen

When will the first Carpinteria kid die in an e-bike accident? I’m writing at this very moment trying to cool off after nearly being part of such a tragedy. Having just turned left from Casitas Pass onto Carpinteria Avenue headed for the post office, I noticed a young girl on an e-bike right behind me. I had my right turn blinker on to turn into the P.O., when she suddenly veered right, rapidly accelerating past me. It was only then I first noticed she was followed closely by two other e-bikes, and then an “e-skateboard,” apparently playing “follow the leader,” each of which rapidly passed me on the right while I sat motionless — in the only legal lane of travel on Carpinteria Avenue. If I hadn’t been 100% alert to the possibility these young and reckless risktakers were thinking about illegally blowing by me on the right, the paramedics would probably be arriving just about now. Is anyone else as concerned as I am about these young people blasting through town on e-bikes at high speeds without proper training in safe driving, not to mention having no apparent respect for the law?

Highlighting a need for pickleball courts in Carpinteria

Thursday, May 15, 2025  7

LETTERS

“We understand that building new (pickleball) courts may not be a top priority for the city, especially given ﬁnancial constraints. However, we see this as an opportunity to collaborate. Our community is ready to partner with the city to explore funding options and help make permanent courts a reality.”

old-growth trees in our beautiful town decreases every year. Would it be possible to save a few trees rather than chopping them down indiscriminately? The very large tree, at the entrance to

the path from Carpinteria Avenue needs to remain in place. This tree makes the trail look inviting, provides a home for birds, provides shade for pedestrians on the sidewalk as well as on the existing trail, screens the view of the new building, is located on a main street entering downtown Carpinteria, and provides shade for pedestrians on the sidewalk as well as on the existing trail. And most importantly, this tree cannot be replaced. We will never see a tree like this in our lifetime once it is removed. Joni Mitchell’s song comes to mind: “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.”

The Carpinteria General Government Department reported work remains on track heading into the fourth and final fiscal quarter of the year. The department completed a number of accomplishments this quarter, City Manager Michael Ramirez told the council, which included: successfully facilitating the adoption of new City Council goals and priorities for FYs 2025–2027; approving the expansion of the Safe Parking Program in Carpinteria from six to 12 spaces; and establishing a city council meeting Code of Conduct. “Really exciting that we expanded our Safe Parking Program. I know it’s just a mighty six, but to be able to go from six to 12 is a big deal,” Ramirez said. The department reported major expenditures of $123,750 in Community Service Support grants, but no major financial changes or concerns in the budget. In the upcoming quarter, the department plans to draft the city’s Strategic Plan document for FYs 2025–27 with support from a consultant. The department will also continue planning for a local State of the City event and work on the implementation of a cost recovery plan, which the public can expect frequent updates on throughout the next few months, Ramirez said.

Administrative Services Department

The Administrative Services Department successfully tackled multiple big projects in the third quarter including: finalizing and submitting the annual Comprehensive Financial Report for FY 2023/24; completing the FY 2024/25 Mid-year Budget Report; submitting three required state controller reports; and revising the city’s budget and fiscal policy to support a two-year budget cycle. The department reported a financial summary of a total operating budget of $1.9 million, with expenditures of $1.1 million. There are no major financial changes

or concerns from the department at this time. In the upcoming quarter, the department will continue to work on the development of the FYs 2025-27 Budget and drafting of the budget document.

Community Development Department

“Third quarter was another busy quarter for Community Development,” Community Development Director Nick Bobroff told the council. This quarter, the department continued work on long-range planning goals for the city, including the certification and implementation of the city’s Housing Element and completion of the General Plan update. Major achievements from the third quarter in the department included: the certification of the Housing Element by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) back in January; recruiting a new Chief Building Inspector, Mitch Perkins; and receiving conditional certification of the Housing Element’s Zoning Amendments by the California Coastal Commission. Additionally, major headway was made at the end of this quarter for cannabis regulations, Director Bobroff highlighted. In March, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to revisit and strengthen their odor regulations for indoor cannabis cultivation. In terms of a financial update, the department reported that revenues related to building permits and planning projects continue to outperform the budget projections for the year. “This in spite of the fact that our building permit fees continue to be well below market rates for what our neighboring jurisdictions are charging,” Bobroff explained. “Going forward this is something that we’re looking at and trying to commission a fee study update to bring our building permits more in par with neighboring jurisdictions.” The department’s advanced progress in quarter three condensed their anticipated to-do list for the final quarter, Bobroff said. “Under some of the priorities for Q4 (Quarter 4), we’ve actually already completed several of these and we’re making significant headway to wrap up the rest of them, so we’re looking good for knocking out our priorities here for the final quarter

of the ﬁscal year.” Next quarter, the department will prioritize releasing the General Plan updated draft to the public, launching a public outreach campaign for the Multifamily Residential Smoking Ban, and ﬁnalizing the section of a new online permitting/ licensing platform.

Public Works Department

In the third quarter, the Public Works Department reported that the city was awarded $342,270 from the Highway Safety Improvement Program Cycle 12 grant for the Carpinteria High School Area Crosswalk Safety Improvements Project. “This is a big one for us,” Public Works Director John Ilasin told the council. “Now, that particular project is fully funded.” During the third quarter, the department also applied for two grants to fund the Franklin Creek Trail Improvement project. Results should be received this week, according to Ilasin. The department will continue to seek grant funding and revenue for infrastructure projects into the fourth quarter. The department reported an unexpected major expenditure of $328,225 for an emergency repair project to the groundwater seepage on Chaney Avenue in the third quarter, but clariﬁed that there were no other major ﬁnancial changes to the FY 2024/25 budget.

Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department

In quarter three, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department successfully onboarded two new staff members: Literacy Coordinator Stefanie Colburn and Program Manager Tori Cutbirth. The department also implemented multiple programs, including a new tutor training led by Colburn and a Spanish-language programming and intergenerational collaborations event with AgeWell, facilitated with Cutbirth’s help. The department expects a busy fourth and final quarter, with summer programs including swim lessons and Junior Lifeguards, a summer reading program, and the library’s “One Community, One Book” program schedule. The department reported no major expenditures or financial changes from the third quarter.

City celebrates AAPI month, Public Works week

On Monday night, the Carpinteria City Council designated May 2025 as Asian American and Paciﬁc Islander (AAPI) month and May 18-24 as National Public Works Week in the city of Carpinteria. The council’s first proclamation on Monday recognized the pivotal role that Asian American community members have played in the development and growth of the Carpinteria community. “As we celebrate AAPI this month, we are cognizant of the struggles and accomplishments of our ancestors before us and we are grateful for all the opportunities ahead of us,” said Vin Bennett, a member

of the Santa Barbara AAPI Solidarity Network, upon receiving the proclamation. The network expanded its membership to Carpinteria in 2024. “We are dedicated to bringing awareness to the history and contributions of Asian Americans and Paciﬁc Islanders,” Bennett said. The second proclamation celebrates Public Works members and personnel, dedicating the week of May 18 through May 24 as National Public Works Week in the city of Carpinteria. Public Works personnel are responsible for transportation systems, public build-

ings and spaces, essential utilities, conservation efforts and fleet services, according to the city’s staff report on the item. They also play a critical role in emergency preparedness, response and recovery. This year’s theme is people, purpose and presence. “The theme reflects the core values that drive public works professionals, which is serving people, fulfilling a sense of purpose and maintaining a steady presence in our daily lives, often behind the scenes,” Public Works Director John Ilasin said. ––Liv Klein

Council approves broader youth participation in local government

On Monday night, the Carpinteria City Council unanimously approved Ordinance 793, which amends chapter 2.37 of the municipal code to allow additional youth participation on the city’s Library Advisory Commission. Back in February, the Carpinteria City Council appointed positions on the city of Carpinteria’s boards, commissions and committees. Only one youth representative of the two applicants could be and was chosen to serve on the Library Advisory Commission: Hazel Dugré. However, following the

meeting, multiple councilmembers expressed interest in exploring options to allow for broader youth participation on the commission. “The ordinance will do two key things,” Jeanette Grant said on Monday. “One is to shift the authority to appoint youth representatives from the library board of trustees to the library advisory commission, and two, allow the commission to appoint more than one youth representative depending on the number of and qualiﬁcations of applicants.” Appointed youth representatives

may serve up to two years as non-voting members without stipends. Additionally, to ensure flexibility, participants will have the option for excused absences from meetings during the summer. “I think this should be a really enriching opportunity for youth and not restrictive and so whatever language we ensure that the youth can really benefit from this is what I’m looking for,” Mayor Natalia Alarcon told staff. The second reading and adoption of the ordinance is scheduled for May 27. ––Liv Klein

City Equity Plan still in the works

The city of Carpinteria continues to make progress on its Equity Plan, staff told the Carpinteria City Council on Monday, despite delays in completing the internal diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) audit. Staff hope to finalize the Equity Plan draft within the next three to six months. The city began working with Equity Praxis Group (EPG) — a mission-driven consulting group that helps organizations, leaders and communities become more effective by focusing on equity, inclusion and belonging — back in 2022. However, due to various unexpected delays including the Covid-19 pandemic and staffing shortages, completion of an Equity Plan for the city has taken longer than originally anticipated, staff said.

Nonetheless, EPG Principal Consultant Jason Schwartz assured the council on Monday night that progress continues, and a finalized version of the Equity Plan draft should be presented to the council within the next six months. “Most of the effort so far has been more externally faced or community facing — really working to identify what are the needs, the wants, the aspirations, the goals in the broader community,” Schwartz said. “The final phase moves more into an internal focus, looking at internal policies, staffing, and so on.” The current draft focuses on housing, healthcare, inclusion, access, equity, economy, business, law enforcement, public safety, language access and cultural inclusion.

Moving forward, Equity Praxis plans to conduct a DEI audit within the city, develop a long-term, sustainable staff development program, and provide additional coaching on subjects that the city showed interest in, including equity-based budgeting, how to build DEI into staﬀ reports, neighbor-to-neighbor eﬀorts and neighborhood leader capacity building. ––Liv Klein

Appreciation for CUSD teachers, principals, nurses and lunch staff CVN

SUPERINTENDENT’S DESK DIANA RIGBY CUSD SUPERINTENDENT

Editor’s Note: A copy of the Superintendent’s Report is run in print as a service for parents, students and community members who cannot attend Carpinteria Uniﬁed School District Board of Trustee meetings. This report was read aloud during the school board’s May 13, 2025 meeting. National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 5–9, 2025 is a week-long celebration in recognition of teachers and the contributions they make to education and society. It is held in the ﬁrst full week of May of every year and provides an opportunity for the school community to show their appreciation for all the hard work done by teachers. At each school site, our teachers were honored and celebrated for their impact on students and their families.

National Principals’ Day is celebrated on May 1 each year. The day acknowledges the valuable work performed by our principals and assistant principals. It recognizes the contributions made by front-line leaders who interact daily with students, staff, parents and community members. Thank you to Carpinteria Unified School District (CUSD) principals and assistant principals: Gerardo Cornejo, Kirsten Neumann and Jeremiah Sobenes at Carpinteria High School (CHS); Jamie Persoon and James Anderson at Carpinteria Middle School (CMS); Luis Quintero at Canalino Elementary and Carpinteria Family School (CFS); Brett Weiberg at Aliso Elementary; and Shannon Colson, teacher in charge at Summerland Elementary. National School Nurse Day was established to foster a better understanding of the role of school nurses in the educational setting. School Nurse Day was celebrated on Friday, May 2, and we recognize CUSD School Nurse, Sayard Cooney, for the excellent health care that she provides to our students and their families. School Lunch Hero Day is held annually on the first Friday in May in honor of each person responsible for providing breakfast and lunches to millions of children across America. Each staff member responsible for making sure nutritious food is offered to students is a hero, and this day was specially designed to show appreciation for their valuable

and important contributions to students’ well-being. We appreciate Chef Michelle Hernandez and her food services team.

Classiﬁed School Employee Week

May 18–24 is California School Employee Week, and we salute the important contributions of CUSD classiﬁed school employees. We appreciate all their hard work and dedication to our students.

Congratulations to our high school

The Accrediting Committee for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges, granted a six-year accreditation status through June 30, 2031 to CHS. This significant achievement includes a mid-cycle visit scheduled for the 2027-2028 academic year. This accomplishment is a testament to the dedication and hard work of Principal Cornejo, Assistant Principals Neuman and Sobenes, teachers, staﬀ, students, and supportive parents. This six-year accreditation aﬃrms our commitment to providing a high-quality educational experience for all our students.

More congratulations

Kiera Foster from Carpinteria Family School earned first place, and Sophina Guerrero from Canalino Elementary earned third place, in the Santa Barbara County’s Battle of the Books on April 24. Canalino/CFS students also included Leila Lawrence, Henry Greene and Evie Mayer, who were chaperoned by Canalino parents Jessica Mayer and Julia Mayer. These students were placed on teams from different schools across the county. Each group invents a team name and is quizzed on 26 different titles during three rounds, ending with the final Battle Royale. Our students prepared all school year by reading and rereading books on a designated list before the “battles” to test their knowledge through trivia questions about plot, characters and themes.

Annually, CUSD administers the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments to students in grades three through eight and 11 for English Language Arts and Mathematics during May and June. The California Science Test (CAST) is required for students in grades ﬁve, eight, and once in grades 10, 11, or 12. The California Alternate Assessment for ELA and Mathematics is for students with the most signiﬁcant cognitive disabilities who are unable to participate in the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments. The primary purpose of the CAASPP System is to assist teachers, administrators, students and parents by promoting high-quality teaching and learning through the use of a variety of assessment approaches and item types. The CAASPP – CalEdFacts web page provides a more detailed overview of the tests.

May is National Mental Health Month

CUSD recognizes that our students and families have mental health needs and we provide robust support for students’ well-being. At every school site, the principal leads a weekly mental health team meeting with a school psychologist, counselors and school-based mental health therapists from Family Service Agency (FSA) to monitor student mental health wellness. By providing school-based mental health services, therapists help students develop coping strategies, manage stress, improve self-esteem and increase academic achievement. CUSD also provides a mental health conﬁdential care provider, CareSolace, caresolace.com/ carp families.

Carpinteria school district, teachers’ union reach agreement BY JUN STARKEY The Carpinteria Unified School District (CUSD) and the Carpinteria Association of United School Employees (CAUSE) have reached an agreement, ending the collective bargaining process for the 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26 school years nearly a year after CAUSE declared an impasse. Employes must still vote to ratify the agreement. CAUSE declared an impasse with the district in June 2024. Just after the end of the school day on May 9, 2025, CUSD teachers and employees and their supporters marched from their respective school sites, urging the district to raise salaries and end the impasse. That same day, CUSD and CAUSE met with a fact-finder from the state, who helped the parties reach a settlement. The agreement includes a 5% increase in salary for certificated and classified CUSD employees effective July 1, and a one-time off-schedule payment of 4% of each certified employee’s base salary. The one-time payment will also be provided for classified or certificated employees who retired during the 2023-24 and 202425 school years. Special education teachers will also receive annual stipends of $3,000 beginning in the 2025-26 school year, “in recognition of the specialized skills required for their roles,” per the agreement. The agreement outlined a plan for a one-time payment in the 2024-25 school year, and a salary increase in the 2025-26 school year. These one-time increases would be contingent on the Santa Barbara County Office of Education’s P-3 property tax allocation for their respective years. The one-time payment for the 202425 school year, paid out by Oct. 1, 2025, would be .5% if the final property tax allocation is $31.750 million, or 1% if the property tax allocation is $32 million or more. The 2025-26 salary increase, paid out by Oct. 1, 2026, would be .5% if the property tax allocation reaches $32.250 million, 1% if the allocation reaches $33.500 million, 1.5% if the allocation reaches $33.750 million, and 2% if the allocation reaches $34 million. CUSD Superintendent Diana Rigby told Coastal View News the district is pleased to have reached an agreement “that honors (teachers’ and staff members’) dedication to public education while upholding the district’s fiscal and operational responsibilities” after two years of negotiations. “Our teachers and staff play a vital role in supporting students and are an essential part of our school community.

Teachers from the Carpinteria Unified School District protest outside the district office on May 9. School district employees asked district officials to provide better compensation for employees and end the impasse with the teacher’s union.

“After two years of negotiations, the district is pleased to have reached an agreement with its teachers and staff that honors their dedication to public education while upholding the district’s fiscal and operational responsibilities.”

— Superintendent Diana Rigby

This agreement reflects the district’s deep appreciation for their contributions and provides fair and meaningful compensation for their hard work and commitment,” she said. CAUSE President Jay Hotchner told Coastal View News on Wednesday that the “bargaining partners are still working out the remaining details.” “Although this agreement does not resolve the significant labor disputes in CUSD, it does resolve collective-bargaining for the 23-24, 24-25 and 25-26 school years. Thus far, we’ve avoided the disruption of a general strike and are in

the process of encouraging employees to ratify the agreement,” he said in an email. “That said, the agreement should not have taken so long to reach, and it doesn’t come close to bringing District employees the economic stability and salary increase they’ve earned. Unfortunately, the district squandered that money ($3.5 million dollars in legal fees — equivalent to a 17% salary increase) during the two years it took to negotiate this contract. The agreement brings slight relief to employees; whose salaries do little to keep up with regional cost of living increases and still fall far behind the majority of

Teachers Mandi de Whitte, left, and Leticia Real.

surrounding districts. There is much more work to do before CUSD can claim it prioritizes employees’ economic stability and wellbeing. And it should be noted that the district was unwilling to reach agreement on any of the 50 possible safety improvements proposed by employees. But the agreement is a step forward, and again, we encourage employees to support it.” The estimated $3.5 million in legal fees Hotchner references were largely spent on legal actions involving Hotchner and the district. Hotchner was a CUSD middle school teacher for 20 years before he was dismissed in 2022 after the district issued him notices of unprofessional conduct. He fought this decision with the state, who ruled that he be reinstated; the district fought that reinstatement in court, and lost in March of this year. Hotchner remained president of CAUSE during this time, and was reelected as union president during the 2025-2027 union leadership elections.

Dozens of Carpinteria Unified School District teachers protested in downtown Carpinteria once again on Friday, May 9, demanding the district provide better wages to its employees.

ronmentalist and photographer Chuck Graham — opens later this month on May 22. The exhibit, which will remain open through Aug. 24, spotlights the recovery of the island fox, North America’s smallest fox species. Celebrated as the fastest recovery of any terrestrial mammal under the Endangered Species Act, the island fox’s story is a powerful testament to successful conservation, according to a press release sent out last week. Graham’s photographs, captured during his expeditions across the Santa Barbara Channel and throughout the Channel Islands National Park, offer an intimate view of these animals and the environments they call home. “I wanted to document not just the island fox, but its environment and the urgency of preserving it,” Graham said. “These photos are about presence — being in the fox’s world without disturbing it. The more time I spent with them, the more I realized their story is one of survival, interdependence, and the quiet strength of nature when we step back and let it heal.” The exhibit is sponsored by Mimi Michaelis, George H. and Olive J. Griffiths Charitable Foundation, June G. Outhwaite Charitable Trust, Wood-Claeyssens Foundation and the American Riviera Bank. The SBMM is located in the historic Waterfront Center Building, 113 Harbor Way, Suite 190, in Santa Barbara. For more information, visit sbmm.org.

Preparing for construction: what you need to know about CAPP BY ROBERT MCDONALD, GENERAL MANAGER OF CARPINTERIA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT

The Carpinteria Advanced Purification Project (CAPP) is a critical step toward securing a resilient and sustainable water future for our community. As we enter the next phase of this essential project, we want to ensure that residents and businesses stay informed about the upcoming construction and its potential impacts.

Construction impacts on the community

In the coming months, residents may notice increased activity as we begin work on the infrastructure needed to deliver purified recycled water to our local groundwater basin. The construction process will involve significant work along several key sites in Carpinteria. While every effort will be made to minimize disruptions, some short-term inconveniences are anticipated, such as: Traffic disruptions. Construction zones will be established along main routes to accommodate new pipelines and treatment facilities. Expect lane closures and detours during working hours. Noise and dust. The nature of construction means that there will be elevated noise levels and dust in areas where excavation and heavy equipment are in use. We will strive to keep these disturbances to a minimum, but we ask for your patience as work progresses. Construction equipment. Large equipment will be used for certain elements for the project. This may affect local traffic flow, and there may be times when equipment is stationed along public roads. While these activities are a necessary part of the project, we are committed to keeping you informed and will continue to provide updates as we move forward.

Join us at the Coastal Development Permit meeting in July

A critical milestone in the project is the upcoming Coastal Development Permit (CDP) meeting scheduled for July. During this meeting, we will be discussing the design elements that are under the contractor’s responsibility and addressing any questions or concerns from the public. This is an excellent opportunity for community members to learn more about the project’s design, its impact on water reliability, and the measures in place to mitigate any disruptions during construction. We encourage residents to attend and voice their thoughts. Public participation plays an essential role in the success of

CVN marvels in Sequoia National Park

The Fedders, Dugré-Boyd and Oliver families wrapped up their spring break with a visit to Sequoia National Park. The families’ children are pictured here with their copy of Coastal View News in front of the largest of these massive trees, the General Sherman tree, which stands at 275-feet tall and 36 feet in diameter. “The long weekend included just enough time for the kids to marvel at big trees, avoid a confrontation with a bear, climb Moro Rock for a view erased by dense fog and sled through trees on a snowy slope without sustaining any serious injuries,” parent Lea Boyd said in an email.

GOING ON THE ROAD?

Snap a photo with your Coastal View News in hand and email it to news@coastalview.com. Tell us about your trip!

CAPP will help reduce our dependence on vulnerable water sources by creating a locally controlled, drought-resilient water supply for Carpinteria’s future. This project will not only help secure the region’s water supply, but also ensure we are prepared for future challenges. CAPP, and your input will help guide the final phases of planning and construction. This meeting will also include updates on funding, environmental considerations, and timelines, providing transparency at every step of the process.

Why this project matters

The need for CAPP is more urgent than ever. With prolonged droughts and increasing climate unpredictability, our reliance on imported water is no longer a sustainable option. CAPP will help reduce our dependence on vulnerable water sources by creating a locally controlled, drought-resilient water supply for Carpinteria’s future. This project will not only help secure the region’s water supply, but also ensure we are prepared for future challenges. For more information about the project and upcoming construction including maps, schedule and duration, please visit cvwd.net/capp. Stay connected with us for real-time updates and continue to share your thoughts and feedback with us. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work toward a more sustainable and resilient water future for Carpinteria.

A character-driven look at the history of the avocado Authors Monique Parsons, Sarah Allaback to speak at May 21 FOL meeting

BY EVELYN SPENCE Monique Parsons and Sarah Allaback’s new book, “Green Gold: The Avocado’s Remarkable Journey from Humble Superfood to Toast of a Nation,” hits bookstores on Wednesday. The pair — childhood friends who met at Main School, attended Cate School and went on to attend Princeton University together — are the featured speakers at this year’s Friends of the Library annual meeting. Ahead of the meeting, Parsons and Allaback met with Coastal View News to discuss growing up in Carpinteria and how they came to write what they called a character-driven look at the history of the avocado. Today, Parsons is a journalist, avocado farmer and audio producer based out of Chicago, Illinois; Allaback, an author and historian who specializes in architectural and landscape preservation, lives in Amherst, Massachusetts. The Friends of the Library annual meeting is set for Thursday, May 21, at 5:30 p.m. at Carpinteria Community Church , 1111 Vallecito Road. The following Q&A is lightly edited for length and clarity. CVN: Tell me about yourselves and your history in the area. You both grew up in Carpinteria, but now reside elsewhere, correct?

that’s where we think the book really kind of stands out — (it focuses on) people like us who are passionate about, in this case, avocados, but also just what they can do as a community to further their product. Monique Parsons: Highlighting women’s stories, we always got very excited. As time went on, it became more and more apparent how many women we have that were really important in the field. My background in Carpinteria really starts with my grandmother. My grandmother grew up in Santa Barbara. In 1931, she and her husband — who she met in the East — moved to Carpinteria, to our farm. It was 1931 and (my father) was two years old, and they made their life on this farm on Highway 150, which is also where I grew up, and which we continue to manage and grow avocados. I want to give a shoutout to our wonderful friend and neighbor, Robert Abbott, who is the manager of our avocado orchards. He’s just phenomenal. As we embarked on this project, I was looking into the California Avocado Society annual yearbooks, which became such an important resource for us… because this society of passionate avocado growers and researchers etc., kept their own history as they went on. But I looked in the directory, and it turns out my grandmother was the first member of my family

We followed the Popenoes as West India Gardens becomes an experimental testing site of the USDA. The government had been pushing avocados since the turn of the century, and they really hoped that it might happen, but nothing was getting it going. (...) West India Gardens got ahold of some interesting possibilities and started growing these trees. They realized they actually needed to go to Mexico to get an avocado that was going to satisfy what they needed to do, which was to start this industry. So they needed to find an avocado that could taste good, be easy to propagate, and (have) a good bearing season. (A friend) found an avocado that at that time, they called number 15, in Mexico. He shipped back seeds. Wilson Popenoe grafted them, the seedlings, and planted them. They end up raising an avocado called the Fuerte avocado. They named it the Fuerte because it was a strong budder. This avocado survived a terrible freeze in 1913, and because of that, it was deemed especially promising. It ended up being the most popular avocado in California for the next 50 years. We can trace everything through (the Popenoe family). Fred was a founding member of the California Avocado Society. (....) What they decided to do, from the very first meeting, was to standardize the product. They took hundreds of different varieties and whittled them down to about eight. Parsons: The structure of the book ended up focusing on these two mother trees: the Fuerte, that Sarah mentioned, and the Hass, that we all know, and telling the story about these two trees as almost characters in this story. It was a really interesting way to structure the book. The whole point was to try and explain: how did the avocado become popular, and then how did the Hass come to dominate? There was so much collaboration between people in Mexico and California that continues to this day. It evolved in different ways. There’s certainly been fights and mistrust and competition, but there wouldn’t be a California industry without influences like the Popenoes, but the Popenoes were constantly interacting and learning from people in Mexico, and vice versa. CVN: What did the research for this book look like? How did you find your sources? Allaback: Wilson Popenoe’s papers were digitized by Carnegie Mellon University at the Hunt Institute.

I would hand copy out bits of interest, and then I would look up related information in the yearbooks of the California Avocado Association. We also had newspapers.com, so I could look at the dates. It was phenomenal, and it was really important, because I didn’t have the time or the money to be flying about. Parsons: It was Covid, too. That was part of it. Allaback: Yeah. I also used a lot of references from the HathiTrust, a consortium of university archives. Parsons: Sarah’s skills as a meticulous historian, really, shown through. On my side, as a journalist, I think the first call I made was to Carl Stucky, who’s well known in Carpinteria as an avocado expert and as a historian in the industry. I also spoke to Ben Faber, one of the really important longtime farm advisors with the University of California system. Everyone I spoke with gave me a couple names of other people I should speak with, so I just went from there, and ended up speaking with dozens and dozens of people from all over the world. I ended up speaking to people in South Africa, people in Mexico. I went to New Zealand for the Avocado Congress, which happens every four years. (...) as it got closer, and we actually had an agent at this point, I was like, “Oh gosh, I have to go.” So I took my husband’s miles — which he still mentions. It was actually my husband who first planted the seed for this idea, because he’s a huge reader, and he’s like, “Why am I not seeing this book?” One of my happiest memories of the project — aside from just talking to Sarah all the time, who’s such a dear friend — is I spent a full day at the University of California’s Research Station in Irvine, following around Dr. Mary Lu Arpaia and one of her graduate students, and just learning about their trees and the history of their research station and how avocados grow and what’s complicated about them. (...) It just brought back memories for me of climbing trees in my family’s orchards. Allaback: Monique also had a magical conversation with Wilson Popenoe’s daughter, Marion Popenoe. She’s 95. Parsons: She lives in Guatemala. It was great. Allaback: We couldn’t believe it! We weren’t sure if she was still alive. Parsons: She still eats avocados from the tree her father planted in Guatemala. It was incredible. CVN: When did you get the ball rolling on this project? How long did it take you to research, write and eventually publish the book? Allaback: I think our grand total was four years. Everything, from beginning to end. Parsons: We began at the beginning of 2021. Research, research, research – then we finally got to the point where we could write a book proposal, which took seven months. Book proposals are a whole ‘nother thing. Then you’re trying to find an agent. We found an agent (Stacey Glick) who Sarah found with the help of her daughter, who was scouting for us. There’s an agent who had published a cookbook, “Absolutely Avocados” and Sarah’s like, “Let’s just give it a try.” We were picked out of the slush pile by this agent who loves avocado. She represents a lot of cookbook writers, loves avocados, and is super successful. We had a couple offers from publishers,

and Counterpoint Press, which is based in California (...) understood what we were trying to do, that we were writing this horticultural, character-driven history, in narrative nonfiction. There were times we didn’t know where it was going. It’s hard to find an agent, it’s hard to find a publisher. Then (you have) the editing process, from handing in a manuscript to getting it off the printer, was almost a year — maybe nine months or something. Allaback: It felt like forever. But I’ve been in publishing for 16 years, and I’ve spent years editing. But it was hard. There was a lot of back and forth. I think everyone goes through these trials and tribulations. We have more than 600 footnotes. It doesn’t read like a book with that many endnotes though. We were very careful not to make it too heavy. CVN: What do you want people to take away from reading your book?

Allaback: I like to give people a sense of history so they know that (history) has repeated over and over. I’ll qualify that by saying that avocado toast was served at the California Avocado (Society’s) first meeting — that was in 1915 — and avocado ice cream, both of which people (today) think are new. We just, over and over, would find out that all the things that we think are brand new and fantastic and all about this generation happened as long as 100 years ago. For a historian, that just pleases me, because when you learn about history, everyone will say it enriches your life, but when it’s right there in front of you, you think, “Wow, 115 years ago, people were lapping up their ice cream just like we do now.” It makes you have a different perspective. Parsons: I think I’ll be curious what readers do take away. There are many different things you learn from reading about history. Maybe it’s because I studied religion and I worked at an interfaith organization for a while as an editor, but I was deeply moved by these stories of creation and the generosity that the Mexicans showed the Californias. That kind of intellectual and collegial atmosphere of the California Avocado Society is a really beautiful thing to see because we often hear, as we should, about political battles and arguments. But the thing that often doesn’t get noticed is those relationships that get built. (...) People may just enjoy that we have a recipe leading every chapter. So there’s recipes through time that are crazy, that reflect the style of the decade they’re in. CVN: Is there anything else you’d like to add? Parsons: It is so moving to us, and the timing is so perfect for us, that our first book talk is happening with the Friends of the Carpinteria Library. Me and Sarah both have such vivid memories of being in the library as little kids, and the librarian was such a lovely person to talk to, and the excitement of looking in the stacks. We feel so fortunate that we get to come home and talk to a group of library lovers to begin this process. Allaback: It’s been a pleasure to go back to our hometown. (...) To come back to the place of (our) origins is a big deal. We didn’t think we’d embark on a project of this magnitude — at least I didn’t. Parsons: My mom (Monica Parsons) who passed away in 1994, she — when (Sarah and I) were friends in sixth, seventh grade — said, “You girls should write a book together.” She saw how creative we were playing and our imagination and how much fund we were having, and I don’t know what put that seed in her mind, but we get to work on this as friends, and it’s been really delightful.

CycleMAYnia rides into May PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON

Over a dozen people took advantage of a sunny Saturday morning on May 10 with a Carp Family Ride around the city of Carpinteria. Starting at El Carro Park, kids and their family members learned about bike routes and bike safety during this Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) CycleMAYnia event, riding to the Carpinteria Bluffs, the beach, the Carpinteria Community Garden and the Tomol Interpretative Play Area. From left, Kim Stackpole, Cherry Stockton, Whitney Rush, Fin Kraybill, Matt Kraybill, Roy Lee, John Ilasin, DeLayni Millar, Shay Darrington, Martina Sexton, Josefina Arechiga and Theresa Smith.

When it’s time to seek professional help

CVN

THE SEAWITCH SAYS AMY OROZCO Dear Amy O., A very dear friend of mine was unable to have children, causing her to live with a spot of deep, deep sadness for more than 20 years. She can’t attend baby showers and birth announcements send her reeling. A random stroller sighting can ruin a day. I have a similar spot of deep, deep sadness. My dad failed parenting in a big, big way. The wreckage has left scars, literally and ﬁguratively. Both of us would like to see our scars start to fade. What do we do? Signed, Tired of Feeling and Being This Way Dear Tired of Feeling and Being This Way, I am so very sorry for both your scars and for all the horriﬁc-ness that caused them. Asking for help may be the best thing one can do when wanting to realign their life — something not for the fainthearted. It is a lot of hard work, with the hardest part not seeing any progress while trying to keep the faith that yes,

CVN CVN CVN

A mental health professional can do the heavy lifting necessary to see your scars start to fade. I hope you will continue your path to make that happen.

indeed, change for the better is underfoot. Maybe not as fast as wanted, but there, inching forward. Here’s the thing, I can give you suggestions, bromides and my opinion. Those won’t do the job; they won’t hurt, either. Here’s another thing I can give you: clear, concise and direct communication. And here it goes — both of you need to seek separately the help of a mental health professional, along the lines of a therapist or a psychologist. Given the number of years you have been bearing and baring those scars, I am guessing you have heard or thought about this. I’m sure it is not new territory. You probably know more about ﬁnding a mental health professional than I do, but in case you don’t, here are few guidelines. Ask your primary care doctor, friends and family for referrals. A Google search will yield plenty of online resources. Use the internet to check the background and get a feel for prospective professionals. Look at social media, too. Make sure the therapist or psychologist has experience with your concerns. Interview the prospects. Ask about their experience, credentials, fees and therapeutic approach. You and your very dear friend sound like you both are clear on what you want, that is to see your scars start to fade. Already you are on the right path. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. The 13th century poet Rumi is credited with saying “when our heart breaks is when it is most open.” He was speaking

of the transformative power of pain and how suffering can bring forth greater spiritual understanding and openness. This heartbreak is not restricted to romantic relationships, but rather applies to all relationships, including the one with ourselves. A mental health professional can help guide nourishing that relationship. There are simple (and sometimes the most difficult) steps you can do on repeat to strengthen that relationship and do not require the advice of a professional.

The Sheriff’s Office was called for a trespasser. Citations can be issued for walking the beach, and fines under federal law apply all year for harassment, which includes disturbing the seals.

MORE INFORMATION

Please consider honoring the Marine Mammal Protection Act by not walking the sanctuary beach all year. Do not bring dogs, bicycles or loud voices to view the seals. Harbor seals, when disturbed, may flee and become separated from their pups. Volunteers asked that dogs always remain outside the rope area.

Artist Michael Harvan honored

KARLSSON

A Palm Loft gathering on Saturday, May 10 honored late artist Michael Harvan, who passed away in March of this year. Harvan’s family — pictured, from left, his daughter Cyndi Harvan, his wife Sandy Harvan and his daughter Tamara Thompson — were in attendance. The exhibit featuring Harvan’s works, “Legacy of Wonder,” will be open through June 22. “Michael Harvan’s artwork is a testament to his deep connection with nature,” gallery director Arturo Tello said of the exhibit last week. “Through his art, Michael aims to convey a sense of being there as well as ‘feeling there,’ inviting viewers to step into the beauty of the world he sees.”

Notice To Potential Bidders: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. Notice To Property Owner: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may visit the website below using the file number assigned to this case. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice To Tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (858) 410-2154, or visit this internet website [iSee Link Below], using the file number assigned to this case [TS 1227056] to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Violet Ray Gasoline Station

THURSDAY

BY JIM CAMPOS

Editor’s Note: A version of this article was first published as “Violet Ray Gasoline Station” on May 7, 2020, in CVN Vol. 26, No. 33. In 1928, Violet Ray anti-knock gasoline was introduced by 3,500 dealerships into the Pacific coast states from San Diego to Canada. Carpinteria had one of the dealerships under the proprietorship of Federico Gonzalez at the intersection of Seventh Street and the Coast Highway (Carpinteria Avenue). Violet Ray gasoline was unique. Its name was derived from Violet Ray technology, popular at the time. It was espoused by the sleeping clairvoyant, Edgar Cayce, who was a sensation of the era particularly for his healing remedies. Cayce would be put into a somnolent state and answer questions about the past, present and future. Note in the picture for this column, that the Violet Ray Gas Station sign has a futuristic look to it. The pumps had a clear top so the gas color would stand out. Ads for Violet Ray claimed that the pure violet color would change if it met an inferior grade of gasoline. How’s that for keeping customers away from using other gasoline brands and coming back for more of Violet Ray? Violet Ray Gasoline Stations were advertised as full-service stations — that is, check the oil, wash the windows and check the air pressure in the tires. Mr. Gonzalez’s operation also had a minimart and several cabins behind it — an auto court — for traveling motorists. The auto court had a mysterious, eerie quality, hidden from view by tall, thick, green shrubs that formed into the shape of a triangle. The way in was through an aperture in the back, off Reynolds Avenue. (Yes, that Reynolds Avenue, which has its own exit off the southbound U. S. 101 Freeway. Could it be the shortest avenue in the world?) Violet Ray gasoline, and Mr. Gonzalez, disappeared quickly from the scene, but William and Mary Owens followed with a long run as proprietors. They rebranded the business as the Hoosier Auto Court. The Owens’ proprietorship roughly coincided with the opening of the relocated Aliso School (1935), directly across the street. Mr. Owens’ usual attire was that of a sea captain, making him a fascinating figure to the children attending Aliso School. He was well-liked by the kids who frequented the mini-mart. Searcy’s Auto Court replaced Owens Hoosier Auto Court in the late 1940s.

CARPINTERIA VALLEY MUSEUM OF HISTORY

The Violet Ray Gas Station was located where the Linda Apartments and traffic lights now exist at the point where Carpinteria Avenue and Seventh Street meet. Pictured, the proprietor Federico Gonzalez stands near the gas pump, circa 1928. This incarnation of the business was then replaced in the 1950s by an elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Baker. The business was called Baker’s Triangle, Baker’s Point, or simply the Gas Station, by then. The children who bought their ice cream, candy and sodas, as well as seasonal toys like sports cards and kites, have fond memories of the Bakers. They had a gentle and warm demeanor, despite a countenance that suggested otherwise. Near the end of their tenure, a young man ran the mini-mart for a week, or two, giving away merchandise for free and blowing huge soap bubbles inside the store. The Bakers returned none too pleased. Something was amiss. Then, in 1962, John and Vera Welty replaced the Bakers, but the business’s name, Baker’s Triangle, remained. The Welty family had arrived in Santa Barbara from Ohio with their young children, dog Smokey, and $324 in cash. After a short time, they were interviewed by the Travillian family to manage the Bam Auto Court near today’s La Cumbre Plaza in Santa Barbara. Their success at the Bam Auto Court led the Travillian family to offer them a similar position in Carpinteria when the Bakers retired.

COURTESY CONCHA CASTILLO ORDAZ

A fourth-grade class at the Aliso School looks in the direction of the gas station/mini-mart/auto court, circa 1940. The children of that time were fascinated by proprietor William Owens’ attire, which made him resemble a sea captain. The Welty family arrived at Baker’s Triangle and found themselves in the heart of the Mexican part of Carpinteria. There was an area attached to the minimart for them to live in. To their surprise, the five cabins of the auto court were rented out to a group of women playing the world’s oldest profession. Nearby at the corner of Carpinteria Avenue and Reynolds Avenue was Juan & Julia’s Bar. Notwithstanding those places of business, the Weltys and their new Mexican neighbors established a warm rapport that has been a constant in their lives to this day. At Baker’s Triangle the Weltys had found a safe place to live and raise their family. Olly Olivas, one of the Mexican community’s leading citizens and a member of the first Carpinteria City Council, congratulated them for “fitting into our community so well” and offered to help in any way that he could. Not that there weren’t trying circumstances to face. Concerning were the traveling motorists that often stopped for gas or groceries without the means to pay. Promises to settle debts from these strangers were rarely kept. The authors of “Images of America: Carpin-

teria” (Campos, Moore, Moore, Panizzon and the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History, 2007) noted there were 14 car filling stations and nine repair shops in Carpinteria — not including a staggering three on Santa Claus Lane, alone, at that time. Carpinteria was a veritable pit stop between Ventura and Santa Barbara. Luckily, the Welty family could count on Deputy Sheriff Tedd Mayer in times of need. On one occasion, a couple of men attempted to relieve the mini-mart’s cash box of its contents. Mr. Welty caught the perpetrators in the act and fired a shotgun blast in the air, the growling dog Smokey at his side for support. The men, apparently intoxicated, scampered away. Deputy Sheriff Mayer investigated the crime scene, perhaps half-jokingly advising Mr. Welty that if he ever actually wanted to hit his target to do it inside the store to avoid the repercussions of shooting a thief on the outside of it! The Welty family’s time at Baker’s Triangle was memorable, but only lasted for about a year and a half. The Travillian

Carpinteria softball says goodbye to seniors In final game of the season, Warriors crack 13 hits in loss to Nordhoff Rangers

BY RYAN P. CRUZ Carpinteria softball may have had a tough season, but the scrappy group of Warriors overcame a lot of adversity and continued to improve each week of the season. In their final game on May 6, the Warriors offense cracked off 13 hits against Nordhoff — scoring a season-high 11 runs as a team — though it ultimately would not be enough, and Nordhoff took the win by a final score of 13-11. The Warriors had their most productive day of the entire season, scoring seven runs in one inning alone, while senior Savannah “Bamma” Cardenas finished off her high school career with an impressive four hits in five opportunities at bat. It was Senior Day for the Carpinteria team, which celebrated the eight outgoing members of the team: Bamma Cardenas, Paola Torres, Alondra Carrillo, Cassandra Vergara, Ytali Jimenez, Delilah Santizo, Evelyn Calkins and Alina Herrera. Nordhoff scored first, taking advantage of a Carpinteria error in the top of the first inning and adding runs with two more hits. In the second inning, the Rangers added to the lead with five more runs. Carpinteria’s offense came alive later in the game, with the Warriors going on a seven-run rally in the bottom of the seventh inning. In the seventh, junior Jenni Garcia got the rally started for Carpinteria with a single down the third base line. Then junior Cecilia Lemus got on base on a fielder’s choice, followed by sophomore Nelly Dominguez, who reached first on a walk. Freshman Sophia Handall knocked in a run with another fielder’s choice, then junior Sophia Colin reached first-base on a throwing error and another run scored on a walk by junior Sophia Santana, which loaded the bases for the Warriors. Cardenas then hit a single into the outfield, scoring two more runs for the Warriors. Freshmen Iyanna Carrillo and Samantha Sanchez kept the rally alive with two more singles, bringing three

The Warriors were down to their last out, down by just one run with two runners on base. Carpinteria needed just one more run to tie up the game, but Nordhoff shut down the rally with a final strikeout, ending the Warriors’ chance for a lategame score. Nordhoff claimed the win 13-11, though Carpinteria finished with more hits in the game. Seniors Cardenas and Carrillo managed pitching duties in their final game as Warriors, with Carrillo throwing the first three innings and Cardenas finishing out the game. The two seniors were big factors on offense as well, combining for seven of the team’s 13 hits. “This game represented the best performance for the Warriors all season,”

Carpinteria coach Tammy Nelson said. “It was just amazing how the entire team contributed to the final outcome, believing in the process, having courage to achieve our goal: Together Everyone Achieves More.”

Carpinteria ended the season without a win, but the Warriors have plenty to look forward to with a deep roster of contributing freshman, sophomore and junior players looking to return to the team next season.

SHORT STOPS BY RYAN P. CRUZ

The Warriors traveled to Maranatha on May 10 for the second round, where Carpinteria had to contend with 95-degree heat and a well-coached team of opponents. In this match, the Warriors took eight of nine games in singles — led by sweeps from Hernandez and Elio Taha — while Maranatha took the advantage in doubles with six wins. Carpinteria was able to hold on for the 11-7 win, moving on to the CIF Division 6 Quarterfinals against Yeshiva University High School (YULA) of Beverly Hills. In the quarterfinals on May 12, Carpinteria kept up the winning momentum, holding on to the advantage in a closely fought match with a win over YULA of Beverly Hills, 10-8. “The Warrior boys really stepped up big when the stakes were at their highest,” coach Bryant said. “We started a little slow but seemed to gain steam as the match went on.” Once again, the singles play of Hernandez and Taha — who both went 3-0 on the day — helped give the Warriors the slight edge. Senior Lucas Martin contributed with two more wins in singles, while the duo of Servando Campuzano and Ethan Almgren gave the Warriors two more wins to claim the team victory. “It was this type of team effort and belief that has propelled us through the three tight playoff matches,” Bryant said. Carpinteria has now won three straight playoff games, and the Warriors will look to compete with Bolsa Grande in Garden Grove for a chance to make the CIF Finals on Friday, May 16.

Two Warriors move on to CIF Division 4 finals

During the CIF Preliminaries, hosted at the Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium on May 10, two Warriors — seniors Melanie Avalos and Nathan Carrillo — qualified for a chance to compete at the CIF Division 4 Finals this weekend in Moorpark. Avalos, who has emerged as a star in the throwing events, qualified for the finals in both the shot put and the discus. In the discus, Avalos’ throw of 127 feet shattered her old personal record by six feet, and put her at #3 in the All-Time Carpinteria High School record book. “Melanie is peaking at the right time of the season,” said Carpinteria coach Van Latham. “She had a solid week of practice and it was evident in her performance.” Carrillo was the only other Warrior to earn a spot in the CIF finals. The senior cleared 10 feet in the pole vault, finishing in ninth place overall. “Nathan has had consistent performance the last few weeks,” Latham said. “He is primed to raise the bar next week.” Both Avalos and Carrillo, who will compete at the finals on May 17, also qualified for the CIF finals as juniors last season. Other Warriors athletes turned in some record-setting performances, even if they did not qualify for the finals. The girls 4x100 relay team of Anna Morrison, Averi Alexander, Vivian Huskins and Kaydance Gardner ran their fastest time of the year at 51.31 seconds. This time was the fastest of any CHS relay team for the past 25 years, and good enough for #7 on the All-Time list. Sophomore Izzy Scott and freshman Halleh Gahan both set new personal records in the girls 300-meter hurdles, with Scott moving up to #11 on the All-Time CHS list and Gahan reaching #24. “It’s very encouraging to see so many underclass athletes perform well in their first CIF meet,” Latham said. Latham also said it was an honor to be the host school for the CIF Prelims, an annual meet Carpinteria has hosted for nearly two decades. This year, more than 134 schools competed in the Division 4 prelims. “We receive numerous compliments on the excellent group of people we have running the meet,” he said. “It is a tribute to their hard work and professionalism.”

Warriors swimmers take on Div. 2 Prelims

Two Carpinteria swimmers, junior Jake Ehlers and freshman Lucia Smith, qualified to compete against the best swimmers in the region at the Division 2 CIF Prelims at Mount San Antonio College on May 8. Under excellent conditions at the state-of-the-art aquatics complex, both had an opportunity to swim side by side against some of the largest programs in the sport. Ehlers competed in both the 100- and 200-yard freestyle swims, where he improved on his times in both races and moved up from his qualifying position seven places to 20th overall, just narrowly missing a chance to qualify as one of the top 18 to make the CIF Finals. Smith, who was competing in her first big meet as a freshmen, finished slightly below her season best time and finished in 36th place overall. “We are very proud of the two swimmers just to qualify and earn the opportunity to compete with some of the fastest in the area,” said Carpinteria coach Jon Otsuki. “Division 2 is extremely fast for a small school like Carpinteria.”

Carpinteria boys tennis makes its way through CIF Division 6 playoffs

Carpinteria boys tennis is making its way through the CIF Division 6 playoffs, earning wins in the first three rounds and securing a spot in the CIF Semifinals against Bola Grande. On May 8, the Warriors traveled down to Jurupa Valley to take on the top-seeded Jaguars in a CIF Division 6 first round matchup. The Warriors put together some much needed wins in both singles and doubles, pulling off the 11-7 victory and earning a spot in the second round against Maranatha. In singles, Edwin Hernandez led the way with a 3-0 sweep, including a comeback win against one of Jurupa Valley’s best players. “It was a big momentum swinging set win for our team and everyone upped their game afterwards,” said Carpinteria coach Charles Bryant.

Boys volleyball team’s playoff run ends

The Carpinteria boys volleyball team had a deep run in the CIF playoffs, winning in the first two rounds and earning a chance to compete in the Division 8 quarterfinals against Desert Christian in Lancaster on May 6. The Warriors playoff run would be cut short against Desert Christian, with Carpinteria falling on the losing end of a four-set battle. Desert Christian won the first set, then took the second set to take a 2-0 lead over the Warriors. Carpinteria came back to win the third set (25-21), but Desert Christian responded by winning the back-and-forth battle in the fourth set (29-27) to claim the win, 3-1. The Warriors had some strong individual performances in the loss, with Alariuziel Rodriguez leading the way with nine kills, three aces and an impressive 33 digs. Rafael Cintura contributed all around with five blocks, six aces and 19 digs; Alan Maya added eleven kills, seven assists and 14 digs; and Jesus “Chuy” Reyes contributed 13 assists, two aces and 12 digs. “Although our season comes to an end, I couldn’t be prouder of this young group of boys and everything they’ve accomplished,” said Carpinteria coach Favian Muralles. “With an all-junior roster, the future looks incredibly bright. I’m excited to continue building with this group and can’t wait to see what next year holds for us.”

Pickleballers take Carpinteria talent up the coast Roughly 20 locals medal at Kenny Loggins Pickleball Tournament

COURTESY PHOTOS Of the 400 registered participants for the Kenny Loggins “In the Danger Zone” Pickleball Tournament — held in Santa Barbara May 2–4 — roughly 20 Carpinteria pickleball players medaled, tournament player and volunteer Erick Trigueros told Coastal View News. “We were the talk of the tournament, because there were so many medalists from such a small community that doesn’t even have any dedicated courts,” Trigueros said. “Most of us have to go to other cities to play.” A few of the Carpinteria winners included: Trigueros, Randy Jones, Bridget Jones, Eileen Crossley, CJ Jennings, Amy Jennings, Tony Nardiello, Tom Minehan, Bryanna Ojeda, Mary Manso, Keith Saito, Tom Habrock, Dave Badger, Gigi van Zanten and Christie Boyd.

The Carpinteria Open, the official Carpinteria City Golf Championship, returns for its second installment on Sunday, July 13 at Soule Park Golf Course in Ojai. “We hope that all golfers from Carpinteria can come join us to see who the best golfer in the city is,” said tournament organizer Andres Nuño. “This is open to every golfer, no matter the skill level.” Last year, 56 golfers competed in three different divisions. This year, the Carpinteria Open will offer four divisions — Championship, Warrior, Rincon and Senior — which will open up the field to 72 golfers. Tournament fees are $160, and all participants will be invited to a “Pairings and Flight” announcement at Rincon Brewery. Local businesses interested in sponsoring this year’s event can reach out to Nuño at andres@enfuegoevents.com, and golfers can register at CarpinteriaOpen.com.
