Carpinteria shores up for winter

Crews build a protective sand berm along Carpinteria city beach on Tuesday, Nov. 3, as the city prepares for the winter storm season. The barrier, extending from Ash Avenue toward Linden Avenue, is designed to help protect low-lying coastal areas from high surf and ﬂooding. The work is among numerous preparations underway by local agencies, which outlined their emergency response plans at an Oct. 28 community forum. See pages 8 and 9 for the full story on Carpinteria’s winter storm preparedness.

Water board unanimously approves CAPP charges on monthly bills New charges will take eﬀect Jan. 1

BY CVN STAFF The Carpinteria Valley Water District (CVWD) Board of Directors unanimously approved adding capital charges for the Carpinteria Advanced Purification Project (CAPP) to customers’ monthly water bills at its Oct. 28 meeting, concluding a months-long process which decides how the district will collect payments to finance the $90 million project. The new charges will take effect Jan. 1, 2027, with most residential customers using a standard three-quarter-inch water meter paying $8.98 per month for the first six months. The charge will decrease to $8.65 per month beginning July 1, 2027, before increasing to $9.23 on July 1, 2028, under the district’s previously adopted rate schedule. The board’s decision follows an unsuccessful attempt in July to collect the annual CAPP capital charges through Santa Barbara County property tax bills. At a July 22 public hearing, the board voted 3-2 in favor of the property tax collection method, falling short of the two-thirds majority required for approval. Following that vote, the district initiated a new Proposition 218 notification process, mailing notices to customers outlining the proposed monthly charges and providing an opportunity to submit written protests. The Oct. 28 approval changes how the capital charges will be collected but does not increase the annual amounts previously adopted by the board in June. The

initial $8.98 monthly charge reflects the collection of the fiscal year 2027 annual charge over six months rather than 12. The capital charges are separate from CAPP operation and maintenance charges that began appearing on customers’ water bills July 1. Those existing charges are intended to fund future operating expenses and establish financial reserves while the project is under construction. CAPP is designed to reduce the Carpinteria Valley’s dependence on imported water by treating wastewater from the Carpinteria Sanitary District and purifying it for injection into the Carpinteria Groundwater Basin. Once completed, the project is expected to provide more than 1 million gallons of purified water daily, enough to meet more than one-quarter of the district’s water needs. The approximately $90 million project has secured about $34.5 million in state and federal grants, along with a $50 million, 30-year State Revolving Fund loan carrying a 1.7% interest rate. Revenue from the new capital charges will help repay that loan. According to the district, CVWD recently applied for an additional $4 million in federal grant funding as it continues seeking outside financial assistance to reduce costs to local customers. Construction began in May 2026, with completion anticipated within three years. Additional information about CAPP and the district’s adopted water rates is available at cvwd.net.

Solórzano, Mayer and VanAntwerp lead Carpinteria council races; Measure I wins strong support Carpinteria voters back quarter-cent sales tax increase as county reports all precincts

BY MICHAEL VANSTRY Carpinteria voters gave strong support to three City Council candidates and approved a quarter-cent sales tax increase Tuesday, Nov. 3, according to unofficial election-night results released by the Santa Barbara County Elections Office early Wednesday morning. With 100% of precincts reporting, Mónica Solórzano held a commanding lead in the District 1 City Council race, while Alexandra “Xy” VanAntwerp led in District 5. Julia Mayer, running unopposed in District 3, also received overwhelming support. Meanwhile, Measure I, the city’s proposed quarter-cent sales tax increase, received 63.12% support, with 2,139 votes in favor and 1,250, or 36.88%, opposed. The measure would increase Carpinteria’s sales tax rate from 9% to 9.25%, generating additional revenue for general city services, including public safety, road maintenance and other municipal needs. In the District 1 council race, Solórzano received 347 votes, or 72.90%, compared with 126 votes, or 26.47%, for challenger Aja Forner. Three write-in votes were recorded. Solórzano, who is completing her first four-year term on the council, expressed gratitude for the support from District 1 voters. “Serving Carpinteria over the past four years has been one of the greatest privileges of my life, and I’m deeply appreciative of the opportunity to continue doing work that means so much to me,” Solórzano told Coastal View News on Wednesday morning. Looking ahead, she identified preserving Carpinteria’s small-town character, expanding affordable housing opportunities, maintaining infrastructure and essential services, and increasing community engagement among her priorities. Solórzano welcomed the apparent passage of Measure I but emphasized the responsibility that comes with additional tax revenue. “Residents deserve transparency about how their tax dollars are spent, and I want to ensure that we approach those decisions thoughtfully, with clear priorities and continued public engagement,” she said. In District 5, VanAntwerp received 444 votes, or 69.92%, while challenger Randy Carrasco received 185 votes, or 29.13%. Six write-in votes were recorded. VanAntwerp told CVN she was encouraged by the election results and grateful for the support of District 5 voters. “I am gratified that my message resonated with voters, and I am humbled that they have given me their trust to represent them,” VanAntwerp said. She identified fiscal sustainability, preserving Carpinteria’s small-town character and environment, addressing housing needs, and improving government transparency and public participation as her top priorities. Regarding Measure I, VanAntwerp said the additional revenue would provide some financial relief but cautioned that the city still faces significant budget challenges. “The additional revenue gives the city a little breathing room in its finances, but it does not change the big picture that our expenses continue to grow faster than our revenue,” she said. “Fiscal sustainability will require clear analysis, public participation, and hard decisions.” Mayer, who faced no listed opponent in District 3, received 532 votes, or 93.83%, with 35 write-in votes accounting for the

Carpinteria City Council election winners, from left, Mónica Solórzano (District 1), Julia Mayer (District 3) and Alexandra “Xy” VanAntwerp (District 5), secured commanding leads in the Nov. 3 election, according to unofficial results from the Santa Barbara County Elections Office. Mayer ran unopposed, while Solórzano and VanAntwerp defeated challengers. remaining 6.17%. Mayer told CVN she was proud to serve another term and emphasized the importance of bringing the community together following the election. “Now that the election has passed, it is a time for Carpinteria to unify and work together,” Mayer said. “We have a lot of work to do in Carpinteria, and it means everything to me that my community trusts me to get it done.” Mayer identified the city’s ongoing budget challenges, infrastructure commitments and housing as priorities for the coming term, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining Carpinteria’s small beach-town character. Turnout varied among the three council districts. District 1 recorded 548 ballots cast among 1,493 registered voters, or 36.70%. District 3 reported 809 ballots cast among 1,929 registered voters, or 41.94%, while District 5 had the highest turnout of the three, with 725 ballots cast among 1,577 registered voters, or 45.97%. For Measure I, 3,523 ballots were cast among 8,481 registered Carpinteria voters, representing a turnout of 41.54%. The measure was placed on the ballot as the city faces ongoing budget pressures and a projected structural deficit. As a general tax, Measure I revenues would flow into the city’s general fund rather than being legally restricted to specific projects or departments. The results represent a significant endorsement of the city’s proposed revenue increase, which city officials have presented as a way to maintain essential services and address long-term financial challenges. All 12 Carpinteria precincts reported results for Measure I, while both precincts in each of the three council districts reported their totals.

Countywide races favor Democratic candidates

Across Santa Barbara County, Democratic candidates held substantial leads in races for statewide and federal oﬃces.

Fiona Ma led the lieutenant governor’s race with 57,565 votes, or 65.64%, over Gloria Romero, who received 30,133 votes, or 34.36%. Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber received 58,305 votes, or 66.56%, compared with 29,291 votes, or 33.44%, for Donald P. “Don” Wagner. In the controller ’s race, Malia M. Cohen received 57,177 votes, or 65.73%, while Herb W. Morgan received 29,812

votes, or 34.27%. Eleni Kounalakis led the race for state treasurer with 57,556 votes, or 65.83%, compared with 29,879 votes, or 34.17%, for Jennifer Hawks. Attorney General Rob Bonta received 57,481 votes, or 65.69%, while Michael E. Gates received 30,020 votes, or 34.31%. The insurance commissioner race was closer, with Jane Kim receiving 40,639 votes, or 54.36%, compared with 34,118 votes, or 45.64%, for Ben Allen. For the District 2 seat on the State Board of Equalization, Sally J. Lieber received 46,399 votes, or 65.71%, while John Pimentel received 24,214 votes, or 34.29%. In the 24th Congressional District, incumbent Rep. Salud Carbajal held a commanding lead with 58,458 votes, or 66.54%, compared with 29,391 votes, or 33.46%, for challenger Bob Smith. In the 37th State Assembly District, incumbent Assemblymember Gregg Hart received 58,496 votes, or 67.19%, while challenger Sari Domingues received 28,561 votes, or 32.81%.

Voters weigh in on statewide propositions

Santa Barbara County voters supported six of the 14 statewide propositions appearing on the November ballot, according to the unofficial results. Proposition 1, authorizing bonds for housing affordability programs, received 62.15% support, with 54,001 votes in favor and 32,883 opposed. Proposition 2, which would increase the state’s rainy-day fund, received 62.60% support, while Proposition 3, extending an existing tax on high incomes to provide permanent funding for schools and health care, received 60.61% support.

Proposition 5, changing the recall election process for statewide officers, received 54.31% support. Proposition 37, creating a loan program for middle-income buyers of qualifying new homes, received 62.37% support. Several other propositions faced opposition from county voters.

Proposition 38, authorizing bonds for immunology medical research, received 47.44% support, with 52.56% voting against it. Proposition 39, which would require government-issued identiﬁcation to vote, was opposed by 62.45% of county voters, with 37.55% in favor. Proposition 40, imposing a one-time tax on certain taxpayers, received 39.91% support, while 60.09% voted against it. Proposition 41, restricting new state taxes that exclude revenues from the state spending limit and requiring certain audits, was opposed by 58.47% of voters. Proposition 42, prohibiting new state personal property taxes and certain retroactive taxes, was narrowly opposed, with 51.84% voting no and 48.16% voting yes. Proposition 43, which would limit voters’ ability to raise revenues for local government services, received 40.45% support, with 59.55% opposed. Proposition 44, requiring community health clinics to spend 90% of revenue on program services, faced the strongest opposition of any proposition in the county, with 86.29% voting no and just 13.71% voting yes. Proposition 45, modifying environmental review requirements for certain projects, was opposed by 60.09% of voters, with 39.91% in favor.

Election results remain unofﬁcial

A proposed 196-unit housing development at the eastern end of Bailard Avenue is moving through the review process, with developers preparing to meet with Carpinteria residents Tuesday, Nov. 10, to discuss plans that have generated years of debate over density, parking, traffic and emergency evacuation. The Red Tail project, proposed for approximately 7 acres at 1101 and 1103 Bailard Ave., would include 133 market-rate apartments and 63 deed-restricted affordable units. The property is located in unincorporated Santa Barbara County, placing primary land-use approval authority with the county rather than the city of Carpinteria. In a new development this week, the city received applications from the project team seeking approvals for vehicle access and utility connections. Carpinteria Community Development Director Nick Bobroff said one application proposes routing the development’s primary vehicle access through the existing drive aisle of the Monte Vista Park parking lot, requiring an easement from the city. A second seeks an emergency-only exit through the neighboring Casitas Village development. “We received the project applications just this week from the Red Tail team for these elements and will be reviewing

Trafﬁc and evacuation remain concerns

Lee emphasizes improvements over opposition

First District Supervisor Roy Lee, who opposed the project while serving on the Carpinteria City Council, said state housing laws have limited the options available to local officials. “In an alternate reality, yes, I don’t want this project here. But that isn’t the world we’re living in,” Lee told CVN. “The State of California has opened doors to lots of development and removed a lot of local control. There are certain developments now where the only option is to advocate for the community to improve the project.” Lee said his office has worked to bring county and city officials, developers and neighboring residents together to address concerns about the proposal. Parking has been a particular focus. “We have made it clear to the developers that removing parking is not really an option,” Lee said. “Parking has consistently been the biggest concern, and both HASBARCO and the developer have made improvements to the project in terms of parking.” Lee said the proposed entrance has been relocated to improve safety and preserve street parking. He also pointed to an increase in affordable housing, elimination of an earlier proposed roundabout and movement away from the project’s original Builder’s Remedy approach as improvements since 2023. The project’s history includes a preliminary Builder’s Remedy application submitted in 2023, when the county had

Traffic circulation and emergency evacuation have been among the most persistent concerns raised by neighboring residents as the project has evolved. An August 2025 traffic impact analysis prepared for the developer by Linscott, Law & Greenspan estimated that the 196-unit development would generate approximately 1,221 vehicle trips per day, including 77 during the morning peak hour and 97 during the evening peak hour. The consultant’s analysis found no significant traffic impacts at five studied intersections under the evaluation criteria used. The findings do not mean the development would not generate additional traffic. The report also identified 297 proposed parking spaces, although the final parking configuration remains subject to review. A separate June 2026 evacuation assessment evaluated how the development might affect vehicle travel times during a simulated neighborhood evacuation. Under the study’s assumptions, average evacuation travel time per vehicle increased from 3 minutes to 4.1 minutes in the morning scenario and from 4.7 minutes to 5.4 minutes in the evening scenario when the development was included. Those differences amount to approximately 66 seconds and 42 seconds, respectively. A July supplemental analysis examined a scenario in which 30% of development residents used the southern private alley rather than the primary driveway. That scenario produced slightly longer average modeled evacuation travel times than routing all development residents through the main entrance. The studies modeled specific traffic conditions and assumed evacuation routes remained open and passable. They do not establish how long an actual evacuation would take during a wildfire or other emergency, particularly if roads were blocked or conditions changed rapidly. The development team said the traffic and evacuation reports will be reviewed by the applicable agencies as part of the permitting process.

The county subsequently rezoned the Bailard property as part of its Housing Element update. In November 2025, the California Coastal Commission approved related coastal zoning changes with modifications requiring more than 32% of the development’s units to be affordable. County supervisors accepted those modifications in January 2026. The formal status of the earlier Builder’s Remedy application has not yet been independently confirmed by county planning staff. Lee said improving communication has been a priority since he took office as supervisor. “I want to bring transparency to this project and advocate for the people who have raised very valid concerns,” he said. “When I was on City Council, I felt like I was in the dark about this project, so when I came into the Supervisor’s office, I wanted to change that.”

Years of changes and debate

The housing proposal traces its origins to the Carpinteria Unified School District’s effort to sell the Bailard Avenue property, which was previously considered for school-related uses. The district initially approved a sale to the Housing Authority in 2019. After multiple extensions, the school board approved a $4.2 million purchase and sale agreement in November 2024. Early development plans called for approximately 169 apartments, but the proposal underwent several revisions as the county worked to meet state housing requirements and the project encountered questions about access, neighborhood compatibility and infrastructure. The Carpinteria City Council opposed the county’s proposed rezoning of the Bailard property in 2023, citing concerns about agricultural land-use policies, the urban-rural boundary and the ability of local infrastructure to accommodate additional housing. The county nevertheless advanced the rezoning through its Housing Element process, with subsequent Coastal Commission review adding affordability requirements. At an August 2026 Carpinteria City Council meeting, residents again raised concerns about traffic, evacuation, parking and the proposed emergency access through Casitas Village. Those issues continued to surface

during council discussions in October, when city oﬃcials emphasized that the development is outside their land-use jurisdiction but that certain proposed improvements require city involvement.

Public invited to Nov. 10 meeting

The development team will host a community information meeting Tuesday, Nov. 10, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Carpinteria Veterans Memorial Building, 941 Walnut Ave. Representatives from the Housing Authority, the developer and the project’s design, traﬃc and evacuation consulting teams are expected to attend.

Rather than relying exclusively on a formal presentation, the event will feature stations addressing key aspects of the proposal, allowing residents to speak directly with project representatives and consultants. Informational handouts and answers to frequently asked questions will also be available. Lee said he plans to attend and listen to residents. “I hope that people will come, learn and give productive feedback,” he said. The development remains subject to further review, and outstanding questions include the status of the county application, the required access easements and the evaluation of emergency evacuation arrangements.

Red Tail project timeline

2019: Carpinteria Unified School District initially approves selling its approximately 7-acre Bailard Avenue property to the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara. The transaction is subsequently delayed through extensions. 2021: The Housing Authority and Red Tail development team advance plans for approximately 169 apartments. Discussions between the city and county over development oversight and coordination encounter disagreements. February 2022: Preliminary plans undergo architectural review. Residents raise concerns about density, building height, parking and the limited access to the property.

The five pillars of a community victory

CVN

THE LAY OF THE LAND M I K E WO N D O LOW S K I It started, as it often does, with a simple feeling: “I don’t like this.” The “this” was a proposal decades ago for a massive housing development on the Ellwood Bluffs in Goleta, a place of unique beauty and ecological importance. That initial, gut-level reaction pulled me from the sidelines and into the unfamiliar world of community planning. What began as a personal concern quickly expanded as I talked with neighbors and realized, “We don’t like this.” I didn’t know it then, but we were embarking on an epic journey that mirrored the similar battle already underway to permanently protect the treasured Carpinteria Bluffs. With guidance from experienced community members and county staff, my neighbors and I embarked on a crash course in civic engagement. We learned about the foundational documents that are supposed to guide development — the General Plan, the Local Coastal Plan and the zoning code. These were the rules of the game. We learned about the Environmental Impact Report (EIR), the culmination of a process for documenting the objective facts about a project’s potential effects on traffic, water, wildlife and

our quality of life. I remember having lunch with an experienced neighbor where I confidently predicted that the EIR would document so many “Class I” (significant and unavoidable) impacts that the project would obviously be denied. He chuckled and shook his head. “If only it were that simple,” he said. To my astonishment, he urged that our group, Save Ellwood Shores, start fundraising, not just for flyers and mailings, but to retain an environmental law firm. He wanted us to be ready to file a lawsuit if — or as he put it, when — the decision went the wrong way. I was floored. How could the decision possibly go the wrong way when the rules and the facts were so clearly on our side? That’s when I received my first real lesson in the politics of land-use decisions. It’s not always a straightforward application of rules to facts. Each decision maker, in that case, each county supervisor, has their own perspective on development. Their legal counsel often advises them not just on how to follow the rules, but on how to minimize the risk of being sued — usually by a developer with visions of dollar signs. The most effective way to counterbalance that threat is with the credible specter of litigation from the community, arguing that in approving the project, the decision makers violated their own rules. As we moved forward over the years, I learned of one more absolutely critical factor: It matters who is elected to be the decision makers in the first place. The timeline of the Ellwood saga is a testament to this. In 1993, with Willy

Chamberlin in office, the Board of Supervisors approved a version of the project, which Save Ellwood Shores promptly challenged in court. A year later, after various procedural and legal twists and turns, and after Bill Wallace was back in office, the Board approved a smaller project. The political winds shifted, and so did the outcomes. The fight to save Ellwood Shores was a long and twisting saga of hearings, lawsuits and shifting alliances that spanned 15 years. But in the end, we won. In February 2005, through a complex land swap, the Ellwood Shores mesa was permanently protected. We, the public, now own it. That victory wasn’t the result of a single action, but the culmination of a sustained effort built on five essential pillars that form the foundation of any successful community effort. First, you must know the rules — the General Plan and zoning codes that govern what can be built. Second, you must establish the facts, which is the purpose of the EIR process. Third, you must rally public opinion, transforming “I don’t like this” into a collective “We will not accept this.” Fourth, and perhaps most crucial, you must work to get the right people elected, because who makes the decisions is paramount. Finally, you must be ready to use litigation to enforce the rules and hold decision makers accountable. This framework is as relevant today as it was during the epic sagas to save Ellwood and the Carpinteria Bluffs, and it applies to every planning decision we face, from large-scale developments down to the single lot next door. Whether the issue is a new develop-

It requires us to move beyond simple outrage, to understand the process and to engage thoughtfully and strategically. It’s not easy, but as past successes (and failures) prove, it is how we ensure the Carpinteria of tomorrow remains the town we love today. Mike Wondolowski is president of the Carpinteria Valley Association (www.facebook.com/ carpinteriavalleyassociation), a local organization dedicated to maintaining the small beach-town nature of our community. In over 35 years of involvement in planning issues, he has witnessed visionary successes, as well as decisions that were later widely regretted. When not stuck indoors, he can often be found enjoying Carpinteria’s treasures, including kayaking and snorkeling along the coast, running or hiking on the bluffs or the Franklin Trail or “vacationing” as a tent camper at the State Beach.

Carpinteria inches closer to permanent dog park following Planning Commission approval BY JUN STARKEY Plans for the long-awaited permanent version of the Monte Vista Dog Park were unanimously approved by the Carpinteria Planning Commission at the commission’s Nov. 2 meeting. The project entails replacing the temporary fencing with 5-foot-tall, black powder-coated aluminum fencing around the 15,000-square-foot park. The fence would include a puppy picket near the bottom of the fence, Planner Megan Musolf said, which keeps smaller dogs from slipping through the fence or digging under it. The permanent park will maintain an area for large dogs and small dogs, respectively, as well as an off-leash transition entrance, an ADA accessible walkway, new landscaping just outside of the dog park, benches, drinking fountains and trash cans. Musolf told the commission that the city plans to keep the temporary dog park open right up until construction begins. Plans for an off-leash dog park in Carpinteria began developing in 2018, when the Carpinteria Dog Owner Group (C-DOG) began working with the city’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services department to create the park. Different sites were considered for the dog park, and a temporary use permit for Monte Vista Park was granted by the commission in 2023. The temporary off-leash dog park opened in April 2024, and temporary use permits have been granted annually as the city designed and submitted plans for a permanent park. Plans for a permanent park were submitted earlier this year, and received preliminary approval from the city’s Architectural Review Board in July. Commissioner Jane Benefield questioned the funding sources for the project, which Community Development Director Nick Bobroff clarified. The overall budget of the project is $200,000, and $150,000 is to be paid with Quimby funds earmarked for the project. “The remaining 50,000 shortfall is what I believe we’re

hoping C-DOG will fundraise through the community,” Bobroff said. Commissioner Xy VanAntwerp also questioned the project’s funding, asking how the city would cover the overall cost. She also asked city staff about the cost of maintenance and what a maintenance plan would look like for the park. “I’m having trouble finding consistency with a funding policy,” VanAntwerp said. “The report says that the cheaper version applies if adequate funding is not secured. I’m having some issues with that.” Parks, Recreation and Community Services Director Jeanette Gant was present at Monday’s commission meeting and was able to answer questions for VanAntwerp regarding the park’s maintenance. Maintenance would continue with the city’s usual contractors, Gant said. “That really just involves essentially mowing and edging, which would continue with or without a dog park,” she continued.

LETTERS Moving the garden will result in better flood control

Thanks for posting Keith Stein’s letter in CVN, Vol. 33 No. 7. It has a point of view needing consideration with the elimination of the open land area proposed to be Parking Lot 4 in the Surfliner Project. I lived in this area (previously known as “Dogtown”) for many years, and the open space does an incredible job when the rains come to Carpinteria. Even this past week’s rain was well absorbed into this tract. Can you imagine what it will be like when it is paved from Linden to Holly? Fourth Street residents will need to be sand bagging in the hopes the runoff doesn’t bring storm water in their direction. The current groundswell opinion of moving the garden to the south side of the tracks makes sense, even though it didn’t way back in the infancy of this project. Now that it seems likely the hotel will be built, why not make the Fifth Street

side more train commuter, taxi friendly and pave that side of the tracks (Linden to Holly)? It will keep the “transportation look” all together and where it should be. With ocean rise being a concern in the next 50 years, the south side of the tracks doesn’t need more asphalt. Joni Mitchell told us long ago: (Sing along now!) They paved paradise, put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swingin’ hot spot Don’t it always seem to go That you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (Ooh, bop-bop-bop-bop, ooh, bop-bopbop-bop) For those too young to remember and those too old with memory concerns, just Google “Big Yellow Taxi.” By the way, the costs should be the developers of the hotel owners, not the taxpayers.

Local agencies prepare Carpinteria for winter storms Officials highlight flood-control work, emergency response capabilities and community readiness at Alcazar forum

BY MICHAEL VANSTRY With memories of devastating debris flows, flooded streets and highway closures still fresh, Carpinteria officials are working to ensure the community is prepared for whatever the coming winter brings. From clearing waterways and maintaining debris basins to training rescue personnel, monitoring storm drains and coordinating evacuation procedures, local agencies have been preparing for potentially severe weather long before the first major storm arrives. Representatives from city, county and state agencies outlined those efforts Wednesday, Oct. 28, during a winter safety and emergency preparedness forum at the Alcazar Theatre. Their message to residents was one of preparedness rather than alarm: While severe weather remains unpredictable, considerable work is underway to protect the community, and residents have an important role to play. “Disaster preparedness is a shared effort,” Carpinteria City Manager Michael Ramirez said, emphasizing that the city works closely with emergency responders, county departments, state agencies and utility providers to maintain essential services and respond to emergencies. Ramirez explained that the city coordinates with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District, county Office of Emergency Management and Flood Control District, along with Caltrans, California State Parks and utility companies. Thomas Conti, engineering manager with Santa Barbara County Flood Control, offered one of the evening’s most detailed presentations, describing the extensive maintenance and monitoring programs designed to reduce flooding risks throughout the county. Each year, Flood Control inspects approximately 300 miles of waterways, identifying fallen trees, accumulated sediment, vegetation and other obstructions that could interfere with water flow during heavy storms. Maintenance crews then carry out approved work, typically beginning in August and continuing into November. The department also operates more than 100 rainfall and stream gauges throughout the county, providing real-time information that helps officials track developing storms and determine where crews and equipment may be

A bulldozer moves sand into place along Carpinteria city beach as crews construct a protective berm ahead of the winter storm season. Carpinteria Public Works Manager Ryan Ayerle discussed the annual effort at the Oct. 28 emergency preparedness forum, explaining that the sand barrier, extending from Ash Avenue toward Linden Avenue, is designed to help protect low-lying coastal areas from high surf, storm surge and flooding. needed. Conti highlighted the Santa Monica debris basin above western Carpinteria, a critical flood-control facility that helped protect the community during the devastating January 2018 debris flows. The upper basin, designed to capture larger debris, retained approximately 170,000 cubic yards of material, while the lower pool collected roughly 40,000 cubic yards of finer sediment. Conti estimated the combined volume at approximately 200,000 cubic yards — the equivalent of about 17,000 large construction trucks. Conti credited the basin with helping spare western Carpinteria from the destruction experienced in neighboring Montecito during the same storm. The basin also collected substantial material during the January 2023 storms. According to Conti, the facility has since been cleared and was fully functional at the time of the Oct. 28 forum. He also discussed the vulnerability of Highway 101 at San Ysidro Creek, where sediment accumulation and overflowing water have contributed to highway closures during major storms, sometimes making travel between Carpinteria and neighboring communities difficult. Flood Control coordinates with Caltrans and other agencies to inspect

Residents can also report fallen trees, debris and other concerns through the county’s service-request system. Despite widespread discussion of a potentially powerful El Niño, Conti cautioned that the climate pattern does not guarantee an exceptionally wet winter. Reviewing historical rainfall records, he noted that four of seven strong El Niño events examined over approximately 75 years produced above-average rainfall, while others did not. The strong El Niño of 2015-16, for example, brought below-average rainfall to the area. His message was that residents should prepare for the possibility of severe storms without assuming extreme rainfall is inevitable.

Floodwater covers a section of Ash Avenue near Third Street on Oct. 28. Carpinteria Public Works Manager Ryan Ayerle explained that unusually high tides have caused ocean water to back up through storm drains in the low-lying area. City crews are monitoring conditions daily, particularly when high tides coincide with rainfall.

Closer to home, Carpinteria Public Works Manager Ryan Ayerle described ongoing efforts to maintain local infrastructure, monitor storm drains and address flooding concerns. The city’s Public Works Department regularly inspects and clears drainage facilities, coordinating with county agencies and contractors when additional equipment or assistance is needed. Ayerle also addressed recent flooding near Ash Avenue and Third Street, where unusually high tides have caused water to back up through storm drains. The low-lying area sits at approximately 5 feet in elevation, while recent high tides have reached approximately 6.5 feet, leaving stormwater with nowhere to drain. City maintenance personnel have been monitoring the area several times daily, particularly when high tides coincide with rainfall. Officials said they will continue monitoring conditions, placing sandbags where appropriate and responding to residents’ concerns, although the ocean’s influence on drainage limits what can be done during exceptionally high tides. The city has also prepared its public sandbag station behind City Hall, with approximately 30 tons of sand available for residents. The station is accessible from sunrise to sunset, with a limit of 20 sandbags per household. The city provides sand, bags and ties, but residents must bring their own shovels. Juliza Briones, the city’s emergency preparedness manager and public information officer, highlighted Carpinteria’s Community Emergency Response Team, or CERT, program. Carpinteria currently has more than 50 registered CERT members, includ-

ing 16 teenagers. All completed their training locally and continue to reside in Carpinteria, although the total includes both active and inactive members. CERT training covers disaster medical operations, fire safety, light search and rescue, and neighborhood emergency response. The city also maintains a stocked CERT emergency response trailer at City Hall and recently participated in a countywide emergency preparedness drill. Another CERT training course is planned for spring. Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District Chief Dan Stefano stressed that emergency readiness involves both trained personnel and relationships established among agencies and neighbors before disaster strikes. The district trains regularly for a variety of emergencies and maintains mutual-aid agreements that allow additional resources to be brought into the area when needed. Battalion Chief Noah Tani described the district’s swift-water rescue capabilities, noting that fire engines carry rescue swimmers and equipment, while the district also has personal watercraft and an inflatable rescue boat available. Firefighters receive specialized water-rescue training, and the district coordinates with the National Weather Service and neighboring agencies as storms approach. Additional personnel and equipment can be deployed when conditions warrant. Fire Marshal Mike LoMonaco offered practical advice for residents, encouraging them to learn where their home’s gas, electrical and water shutoffs are located before an emergency occurs. He also warned against operating generators indoors because of the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning and urged residents to avoid walking or driving through moving floodwaters. Stefano emphasized that neighborhood relationships are another essential part of preparedness, encouraging residents to check on elderly neighbors and others who may need assistance during an emergency. Lt. Rich Brittingham, Carpinteria’s chief of police services with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, explained the county’s emergency notification and evacuation procedures. Residents were strongly encouraged to register at ReadySBC.org, the county’s official emergency preparedness and alert website, which provides notifications about evacuation warnings, evacuation orders and other emergencies. The system allows residents to register up to five addresses, including homes, workplaces and schools, to receive information about threats affecting those locations. Brittingham explained that an evacuation warning means residents should prepare to leave, while an evacuation order means they must leave immediately.

He particularly encouraged seniors, people with disabilities and residents with large animals to consider leaving during the warning stage rather than waiting until an order is issued. The Sheriff’s Office conducts doorto-door evacuation notifications when conditions permit. Deputies also patrol evacuated neighborhoods to protect property and discourage theft. Brittingham warned that residents who ignore evacuation orders may become isolated, leaving emergency personnel unable to reach them when conditions deteriorate. First District Santa Barbara County Supervisor Roy Lee reinforced the importance of ReadySBC, describing the alert system as a vital connection between residents and the county agencies responsible for emergency preparedness and response. Lee acknowledged the community’s experiences during the Thomas Fire and subsequent debris flows, emphasizing the county’s continued attention to flood-control facilities and emergency communications. He also pointed to improvements in the county’s ability to issue geographically targeted warnings, allowing officials to provide more specific information to neighborhoods facing potential threats.

The Santa Monica debris basin above western Carpinteria played a critical role during the January 2018 debris ﬂows, capturing approximately 200,000 cubic yards of material — the equivalent of about 17,000 large construction trucks. Santa Barbara County Flood Control Engineering Manager Thomas Conti credited the facility with helping protect western Carpinteria from the devastation experienced in neighboring Montecito.

peace officer and lifeguard supervisor, addressed the dangers posed by large surf, extreme tides and rip currents. He explained that powerful surf combined with high tides can create hazardous conditions even for people who have no intention of entering the ocean. Shaner recalled the December 2023 high-surf event in Ventura, when a large wave swept spectators off their feet and caused multiple injuries. He cautioned residents against approaching the shoreline during highsurf warnings and urged beachgoers to respect closures and instructions from lifeguards and emergency responders. Anyone who sees a person potentially in distress in the ocean should call 911 rather than attempting an untrained rescue, he said. KEYT senior reporter John Palminteri discussed the importance of reliable information during fast-moving emergencies, particularly when power outages, communications disruptions and rapidly changing conditions complicate reporting. Palminteri noted that today’s television and radio operations differ from the continuously staffed newsrooms many residents remember, making it important to understand where emergency information can be obtained. He emphasized the value of firsthand

reporting, communication with emergency responders and using multiple information sources during disasters. Palminteri also cautioned against sensational descriptions such as “super El Niño” or “Godzilla El Niño,” saying his priority is providing accurate information about conditions as they develop. Alcazar Theatre Board member Mark Hunt offered residents practical advice on assembling emergency supplies, including a portable evacuation bag and a vehicle emergency kit. Hunt recommended keeping water, food, flashlights, medications, extra clothing, emergency blankets and other essential supplies readily available. He also encouraged residents to check supplies periodically and consider what they might need if forced to leave home or abandon a vehicle during an emergency. Throughout the evening, speakers returned to the importance of advance planning, reliable communication and neighbors helping neighbors. While the coming winter remains uncertain, officials made clear that the community’s emergency preparations are not beginning with the first rainfall. Much of the work — from infrastructure maintenance and emergency training to public alerts and interagency coordination — is already underway. Residents, they emphasized, are an essential part of that preparation.

Planning Commission approves conditional use permit for St. Joseph Church, Howard School BY JUN STARKEY

The Carpinteria Planning Commission unanimously approved a conditional use permit revision to St. Joseph Church, establishing conditions for the church’s annual events and the use of its campus by The Howard School, at the commission’s Nov. 2 meeting. The permit would also establish permit conditions for all allowable uses; simplify permitting for the church’s annual festival and for ongoing special events;

allow the continued operation of the Accessory Resale Shop; and implement a Circulation and Safety Plan for the school and church parking lots. The only new construction proposed as part of the permit is an 8-by-40-foot storage container, which would be placed on the north side of the property, near The Howard School’s building Principal Planner Bret McNulty said there were few changes from the temporary permit to the proposed conditional use permit, aside from the new require-

ments regarding transportation management and safety in the school and church parking lots. According to the city’s staﬀ report for the project, the permit will formalize “the normal operations of existing facilities for public gatherings at the school and church for which indoor and outdoor facilities were designed and would continue to serve the surrounding neighborhood and visitors.” One of the co-applicants for the project, Reverend Monsignor Richard Martini

spoke during Monday’s meeting. “As you well know, the church precedes the city. We were here ﬁrst; the city came later,” he said. “And so, we’re trying to catch up and work well together.” The commission approved the permit, with the stipulation that The Howard School come before the commission if it ever proposes increasing its student population to 140.

Invasive ‘ankle-biter’ mosquitoes spread across South County

Mosquito control officials urge residents to eliminate standing water to prevent infestations BY CVN STAFF An invasive mosquito species first detected in Carpinteria in July has now been found in several additional locations across South Santa Barbara County, prompting mosquito control officials to urge residents to take immediate steps to prevent the insects from establishing permanent populations. The Mosquito and Vector Management District of Santa Barbara County announced Monday, Nov. 2, that Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were detected at four locations within the city of Santa Barbara on Oct. 30. The aggressive, biting insects, commonly known as “ankle biters,” pose a growing concern as recent rainfall and warm temperatures create favorable breeding conditions. The latest detections include two locations near North Voluntario and East Cota streets on Santa Barbara’s Eastside, along with locations near Laguna and East Carrillo streets and East Victoria and Olive streets northeast of downtown. The discoveries follow the collection of adult mosquitoes and larvae on Oct. 16 near North Turnpike Road and Calle Real in the unincorporated area between Santa Barbara and Goleta. The species was first detected in Carpinteria in July, marking its first appearance in Santa Barbara County since 2021. “With multiple Aedes specimens detected across South County, we are at a critical turning point,” said Brian Cabrera, general manager of the Mosquito and Vector Management District. “The combination of recent rainfall and warm temperatures creates ideal breeding conditions, making immediate action

The insects frequently target feet and lower legs, earning them the nickname “ankle biters.” The species is one of two invasive mosquitoes recently detected in the region. Aedes notoscriptus, commonly known as the Australian backyard mosquito, was discovered in Santa Barbara’s Westside neighborhood in March and the Mesa

neighborhood in June. Both species tend to remain close to homes and can reproduce in surprisingly small amounts of standing water. Common breeding sites include buckets, birdbaths, pet water dishes, ﬂowerpot saucers, discarded tires and clogged yard drains. Water trapped inside plants, including bromeliads, can also provide breeding habitat. According to the district, mosquito larvae can develop in as little water as a bottle cap can hold, while eggs can survive dry conditions for months. Beyond the nuisance of frequent bites,

Aedes aegypti is capable of transmitting several diseases, including dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever. The mosquito was first detected in California in 2013 and has since spread throughout Southern California and the Central Valley. Los Angeles County recorded 20 confirmed cases of locally transmitted dengue during 2024 and 2025, according to the district. The other three viruses are not known to be present in California. The Australian backyard mosquito also raises concerns for pet owners because it is a primary carrier of dog heartworm in Australia. Although a native mosquito species is the primary carrier of heartworm in California, district officials encourage dog owners to consult their veterinarians about preventive medication. To reduce the risk of infestations, residents are urged to regularly empty standing water from containers around their homes and scrub the inside surfaces to remove mosquito eggs. Officials also recommend repairing damaged window and door screens, keeping doors closed and using EPA-approved insect repellent when outdoors. “Residents are our most effective line of defense — you can help stop an infestation by eliminating all standing water around your home and reporting any daytime mosquito activity to the district immediately,” Cabrera said. The district is asking residents throughout Santa Barbara County, including Carpinteria, to report aggressive daytime mosquito activity, particularly bites around the ankles and lower legs. Reports can be made by calling the Mosquito and Vector Management District at (805) 969-5050 or visiting mvmdistrict.org.

Lions Club of Carpinteria members gather to celebrate 99 years of service, friendship and commitment to the Carpinteria community.

Lions celebrate 99 years of community service BY TRACY MARCYNZSYN For 99 years and counting, the Lions Club of Carpinteria’s dedication to serving the community has contributed to the well-being of its residents, from sponsoring Boy Scout Troop 51 for decades and serving various community organizations, to purchasing Carpinteria’s first ambulance in 1930. The Lions Club of Carpinteria’s spirit of service was celebrated at its 99th anniversary on Oct. 27 at the Community Building at Lions Park, where 58 members along with friends and family gathered to commemorate the club’s nearly century-long commitment to caring for Carpinterians. “I am extremely proud of the fact that this club has survived and continues to thrive in the Carpinteria Community for 99-plus years!” said Club President Rolando Mia. With five years of service as a club member, Mia said a highlight of club membership is the “camaraderie and lifelong friendships that form working with the members serving our community.” The club’s 79 total members include a handful who have served for 40 to 50 years: including Butch Homer Clements, 51 years; Fred McCoy, 49 years; Doug Treloar, 46 years; Randy Graham, 46 years; Ron Hurd, 40 years; and Ron DeSandre, 40 years. Long-serving members agreed with Mia that friendships and making a positive impact on the community inspire

them to serve year after year. The club’s annual events and community outreach include 50 years of hosting its 4th of July BBQ and Celebration at Lions Park; Memorial Day services to honor veterans; 40 years of fundraising at the California Avocado Festival with their “world famous” tri-tip sandwiches and generating about $300,000 in funds for the community; 17 years of hosting the Annual Festival of Trees Celebration and netting $390,000 in community funds; blood drives; vision screenings; and scholarships for local students. The club also provides residents with a cost-effective place for meetings, weddings, get-togethers and community parties at Lions Park, which it purchased in the ‘60s by soliciting donations and built the Community Center with volunteer Lions. Through its years of service, club members have served many community organizations, including City of Hope, Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center, Carpinteria Community Association, Carpinteria Valley Museum of History, Carpinteria Beautiful, Carpinteria Women of Agriculture, Alcazar Theatre, Carpinteria Skate Foundation, C-Dog, United Boys & Girls Clubs, Carpinteria Children’s Project, Santa Barbara Food Bank and the Rotary Club of Carpinteria Morning, as well as Carpinteria High School student programs like FFA, Boosters, Safe/Sober Prom, vision screening in the local schools, the Russell Cup Track

United in service and patriotism, Lions Club of Carpinteria members honor the American flag during their 99th anniversary celebration, with special recognition for the veterans among them who have proudly served their country.

Meet, Wreaths Across America and more. As they gathered to celebrate their accomplishments and community impact, members reflected on the club’s history, legacy and future vision. Club members also enjoyed a prime rib dinner prepared by Chris Jones and team, followed by an anniversary cake served by some of the club’s longest-serving members.

“We are incredibly proud of our club’s legacy and the generations of Lions who have dedicated their time, energy and hearts to making Carpinteria a better place,” said Mia. “As we approach our 100th anniversary, we look forward to continuing that tradition of service, building new friendships, welcoming future generations and having fun doing it.”

Halloween on Linden PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON

Ghouls and goblins roamed Carpinteria’s streets once again this year for the Downtown Trick-or-Treat, which was held on Friday, Oct. 30. The annual event was organized by the city’s Downtown T Business Advisory Board, and local merchants participated by passing out candy. Hundreds of Carpinteria’s youth donned their Halloween best for the event, with costumes ranging from popular television and movie characters to animals, bugs and even inanimate objects.

They did the pumpkin SMASH PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON

The city of Carpinteria hosted its annual Pumpkin Smash on Nov. 1, allowing locals to dispose of their unwanted jack-o-lanterns in style at the Carpinteria Community Garden. Locals showed up with their pumpkins, sans candles and decorations, and chucked them at targets covered in prongs. The discarded pumpkin pieces were then transformed into compost and animal feed, which attendees could pick up for free.

A pumpkin hits the bull’s-eye.

Matilda and Gene Goss throw their pumpkins overhead.

Josh Agress hurls his pumpkin.

Fin Kraybill chucks his pumpkin at the target.

Smashing pumpkins was a big hit.

Before you trust the caption

CVN

WELLNESS WARRIOR LEAH HARDING I was between clients last week, cruising socials, when the same type of post kept showing up. There was a big claim up top, a study name in the middle, then five things to start doing right now. The comments were full of people tagging friends. It looked useful. However, it also looked like the posts that have talked my clients into stopping lifts they were getting better at, starting a fast they could not keep or buying a powder that was supposed to fix sleep, joints and mood all at the same time. I train people for a living. I already have many strong opinions about what works. Unfortunately, that makes me easy to sell to when a post lines up with something I already believe, but just as easy to wave it off when it does not. Regardless of what the post says, you have to remember that the post is not a coach; it is a caption written to be saved and shared. Most of the bad advice I see is not made up from nothing, or it is borrowed from a real study but interpreted to convey some result which may or may not be true. At times, a genuine finding from a specific, limited study group gets stripped of its essential context. The resulting simplified claim is then marketed broadly to casual scrollers. The study can be fine; it’s the leap that is the problem. A finding in older adults who already have a disease becomes a reason for a 45-year-old to panic about the one body

part the post named. A measurement taken in a lab becomes proof that one exercise will change how long you live. That percentage or number sounds so precise because all the real-life complexity was stripped away before it ever hit your feed. I get to watch what happens after the post is saved. A client will tell me that they are trying the new thing for a week or two… just to see. Then it either doesn’t fit their needs, schedule or recovery, or it crowds out the work we were already doing together that was moving them forward. Then they feel behind, which is exactly what the next post needs in order to land. The loop becomes the product, and the advice is the hook that keeps them there. Good advice survives contact with the real world, while bad advice only works inside the post (dare I say “theoretically”?). The clients who keep getting better and closer to their goals are not the ones who save every reel or post. They are the ones who can tell a useful idea from a hook before they rearrange their lives around it. Here is what I ask before I take a post seriously, and what I want clients to ask too: Who is this actually for? A result in people over 70, or in patients already being treated for a disease, does not automatically apply to you. Age, training ability and injuries all change the answer. If the post never says who was studied, assume it is talking to everyone and therefore no one in particular. What does the poster do the other six days? Advice that only works if you already sleep enough, eat enough and recover well is not a plan; it’s a manufactured highlight reel. If the post skips food, sleep and the lifts you are already doing, it is selling the exciting part and leaving the necessary tedium of day-today habits out. Does it name one thing as the fix? Again, real progress is usually a few boring things done on purpose for months or years. “One-thing” posts are built for the algorithm. Can you picture doing it next Tues-

Most of the bad advice I see is not made up from nothing, or it is borrowed from a real study but interpreted to convey some result which may or may not be true. day? Not in theory, but with your current knees, calendar and the equipment you actually have at home or at the gym you use. If the move needs a machine you do not own, a recovery day you do not have or a level of soreness that would wreck the rest of your week, it is not ready for you yet. What is the post asking you to feel? Useful posts make the next step clearer. Most make you feel behind, scared or like you are missing a product. Fear and urgency are not the same as evidence. If the main feeling after you read it is that you have been doing it wrong, perhaps you take a moment to question its validity. Would you say this out loud to a client who has constraints? I use this one on myself. If I would not tell someone with a cranky shoulder, a full workweek and two kids to drop their current plan for this, I do not need to save it either. None of this means ignore what shows up in your feed. Some posts are fine, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t save ones here and there. But a plain reminder to keep consistently lifting heavy things, walk with purpose and eat whole foods

is probably all you really need. The test is whether the idea still makes sense after you take the bold font out of it. If the useful part is “train your legs twice a week and do not let walking replace the loading,” you already knew that. You do not need the rest of the carousel to act on it. You do not have to fact-check every post that you see, but you should try to stop treating an algorithm like personal advice. Next time one shows up, ask who it is for and what it wants you to do on Tuesday. Keep the part that still works once the fear is gone and leave the rest. Or reach out to me and see what I think. I’m sure I’ll have plenty to say! Leah Harding is a nutrition coach and personal trainer dedicated to helping clients understand how food fuels their lives and supports their wellness goals.

Dolly does Carpinteria

CVN tours Greece and Italy

COURTESY PHOTO

Carpinteria local Aja Forner hosted a Dolly Parton-themed crawl, Dolly Does Carp, on Friday, Oct. 30. Attendees wore blonde wigs and rhinestones to honor the country legend, before making stops at several local eateries, including Teddy’s By the Sea, The Nugget and Arnie’s Rooftop Bar.

Bruce and Cymantha Atkinson toted their copy of Coastal View News along with them on a trip to Greece and Italy. They are pictured in the Old Town of Corfu, one of their favorite spots. “We loved the walkable streets, the small-town feel, the beautiful ocean views and the charming people. Basically, it felt a lot like Carp, just a half a world away!” said Cymantha.

THROWBACK

THURSDAY Before it was a giant

The Wardholme Torrey pine, one of Carpinteria’s most treasured natural landmarks, was still a youngster when this photograph was taken around 1925. Planted in 1888 by Judge Thomas Ward, the towering tree began as a small seedling brought across the Santa Barbara Channel from Santa Rosa Island. Today, it stands as a living link to Carpinteria’s early history. In the Summer 2019 issue of Carpinteria Magazine, Debra Herrick wrote, “Torrey pines are among the rarest pine species in the world, growing naturally in just two places: coastal San Diego County and Santa Rosa Island. While their island relatives are often twisted and stunted by relentless ocean winds, Carpinteria’s famous specimen ﬂourished in rich soil and a more sheltered environment, eventually growing taller and broader than its wild counterparts.” Named for American botanist John Torrey, the species is known for its long needles, hefty pinecones and remarkable resilience. Its edible pine nuts were once a food source for the Chumash. More than a century after it was planted, the Wardholme Torrey pine continues to tower over Carpinteria Avenue near the Lucky Llama Coﬀeehouse, a beloved reminder of the town’s natural heritage.

Warriors show fight in CIF Division 4 playoffs

Carpinteria boys water polo hosted two playoff games before being knocked out by Aquinas BY RYAN P. CRUZ Carpinteria boys water polo hosted two home games in the CIF Division 4 playoffs, picking up a win in front of the home crowd in the first round on Oct. 29 before suffering a season-ending loss in the second round on Nov. 3. The Warriors delivered one of their strongest performances of the year in the first round matchup against West Torrance. The team’s senior leaders Ryder Shaw and Chris Reed got the offense going with three quick goals in the first quarter — two from Shaw and one by Reed — to give Carpinteria a 3-1 lead heading into the second quarter. West Torrance battled back in the second, though the Warriors kept their composure, scoring a goal when Reed earned an exclusion that set up Cade McCallister to score with an assist by Oscar De Leon. Carpinteria goaltender Stefano Piccoletti held off the West Torrance attack with three steals and two blocks in the second quarter, helping the Warriors hold onto a 4-3 lead at halftime. In the second half, West Torrance got some momentum with two third-quarter exclusions. But Carpinteria’s offense responded, and junior Luke Donahue broke through with his first goal of the game to preserve the Warriors’ lead. The Warriors defense locked down in the fourth quarter, as Carpinteria shut out West Torrance and went on a 6-0 run, with freshman Junius Fedders providing big plays, finishing the quarter with five steals and a goal. Carpinteria’s defense finished with a combined 27 steals, and Piccoletti finished with 10 blocks to help secure the 16-6 win and advance to the second round of the playoffs. “The boys really complemented each other today and crafted a well-oiled offense,” said Carpinteria coach Russell Russo. “Everyone’s energy was up, and they played with a lot of heart. I couldn’t be prouder of how they stepped up early in the game.” Russo also noted the leadership of senior players such as De Leon, who proved to be a key piece in the win with a personal record five goals, including a pair of goals in the fourth quarter. “De Leon followed up with some key explosive goals in the second quarter as the Warriors bolstered their offense,” Russo said. “With several perimeter steals on the defensive end, his attack on the right side of the goal caught Torrance off guard.” Carpinteria hosted a second round

Chris Reed has been one of the key pieces of the Warriors’ water polo squad in 2026. match on Tuesday, Nov. 3, where the visiting Aquinas Falcons proved to be a tough test for the hometown Warriors. Aquinas scored first, taking an early lead before De Leon got the Warriors on the scoreboard with two first quarter goals. Shaw added a pair of goals in the first half to keep the Warriors within striking distance, though the Falcons went into halftime with a 7-4 lead. The Warriors fought back in the second half, as Reed and Fedders drew two exclusions to spark the offense. Carpinteria benefitted from a team effort, with assists from De Leon, Shaw and Brandyn Moore and an impressive performance from Piccoletti with 15 blocks. Carpinteria continued to fight in the fourth quarter, chipping away at the lead with Donahue and De Leon delivering some big plays in the final minutes. But Aquinas was able to maintain its lead, holding on for a 12-10 victory and ending the Warriors’ playoff run in the second round. After the loss, Russo reflected on a strong season and applauded the team’s high level of commitment through the two home playoff games. “Once again, our Warrior spirit shone

through during our comeback efforts in the third and fourth quarters,” coach Russo said. “The game didn’t unfold exactly as we had hoped, with a few calls going against us, but the boys never lost their spirit. The energy from the spectators

made it a memorable night for the team. The coaching staff was proud of the boys’ effort throughout the season and the tremendous individual growth and progress each player demonstrated.”

and Erasmo Frausto-Elizarraraz. Carpinteria also has a large group of freshman and sophomore athletes who are ready to contribute at the varsity level. More than a dozen underclassmen suited up for the Warriors varsity team this season, including freshman quarterback and defensive back Blayden Bryant, freshaman Trux Trumble and sophomore Brayden Real. All three played for Carpinteria’s varsity squad this year, with Bryant filling in as a backup quarterback and slinging three touchdowns this year, including one touchdown pass to Real. Bryant and Trumble were also major contributors to Carpinteria’s junior varsity squad, which finished this year at the top of the league standings with seven wins and just one loss. Bryant, Trumble and two-way freshman Walker Scott were standouts for the program and will likely become key to Carpinteria’s success in the future. The program has a group of 35 freshmen and sophomores with plenty of experience together, and these players have only gotten better under the development of coaches Noah Gilbert, Kevin Convissar and Gary Feramisco.

Carpinteria players shine at Citrus Coast League finals

Carpinteria’s girls tennis team made up the bulk of the participants in this year’s Citrus Coast League Individual Tournament finals, as singles specialist Aubrey Alcaraz advanced to the singles championship match and two Warriors duos battled it out for the league crown in the doubles championship. The singles finals was a rematch between Alcaraz and Nordhoff’s Rania Busz, who faced off just one day earlier when both teams met up in the final team match of the season. Alcaraz and Busz were locked in a back and forth showdown, with Busz claiming the first set and Alcaraz coming from behind in the second set to force a winner-takeall third set. In the third set, Alcaraz played impressive defense, but Busz was able to hold on to claim the set and the singles championship. Both Busz and Alcaraz will have a chance to compete in the CIF Sectionals, held at Cate School starting Nov. 23. The doubles championship was an all Carpinteria match, as the league’s top duo of Caroline Cooney and Cailyn Gillen — a pair that had not lost this season — faced off against a surprise finalist, Emily Banks and Ariana Cruz. Coming into the tournament, Banks and Cruz had never played in doubles together, and although they were ranked No. 7, they took out two of the top three teams in the prelims to earn a chance to face their teammates Cooney and Gillen in the finals. The match offered plenty of entertaining points, as both pairs played high-quality tennis, but ultimately the duo of Cooney and Gillen proved once again why they finished the season undefeated with a decisive two-set sweep. “Many of the games were close, but the familiarity of Caroline and Cailyn was hard to overcome as they moved gracefully together and put away their chances,” said Carpinteria coach Charles Bryant. “Overall, it was a bittersweet day. It was great to see two doubles teams in the finals. And Aubrey put up a good fight in her loss to Nordhoff’s top player.” Both of Carpinteria’s doubles teams qualified for the CIF Doubles Sectionals, which will take place at Carpinteria High School later this month. Cooney and Gillen are now the outright Citrus Coast League Doubles MVPs. This is Cooney’s second year winning the title, after claiming the championship last year alongside her sister Charlotte. Carpinteria will now prepare for the CIF Division 6 team playoffs, with a first round matchup at home against Whittier High School. With a win in the first round, the Warriors would advance to face either Brea Olinda or Rim of the World this weekend.

Warriors football season ends, but future looks bright

Carpinteria’s 2026 football season ended with another shutout loss for the Warriors, capping off a tough year for a program that is looking to rekindle some of the tradition and magic of the past. The Warriors were on the road in Ojai for the final game of the season against league rival Nordhoff, where the Rangers defense held Carpinteria scoreless while the Nordhoff offense lit up the scoreboard for a 41-0 victory. Nordhoff scored on a 3-yard run in the first quarter to take a 7-0 lead. The Rangers followed up with two more touchdowns in the second quarter, with big passing plays leading to touchdown runs to give Nordhoff a 20-0 halftime lead. Early in the third quarter, Nordhoff scored on a short pass to extend the lead again. Later in the same quarter, the Rangers hit on a 60-yard pass to bring the score to 34-0. Carpinteria’s offense got moving in the fourth quarter, driving deep into Nordhoff territory before the drive stalled at the 5-yard line. Nordhoff controlled the rest of the game, scoring one final touchdown late in the fourth to secure the 41-0 win. “We had trouble with their passing game,” said Carpinteria coach Van Latham. “The Nordhoff quarterback, Michael Dennie, is an excellent QB. He had a big night against our banged up secondary. I am proud of our players, however. They kept battling. We just didn’t have the manpower needed to keep up with Nordhoff tonight.” While this season ended with just one win, there were plenty of bright spots with the Warriors team. Carpinteria will be losing some senior talent, including quarterback Isaac Neri and lineman Caleb Kelly, but the Warriors will also have a lot of experienced skill players returning next year, such as two-way players Gabe Chung

Carpinteria cross country runs in SB County Championship

Carpinteria cross country traveled to River Park in Lompoc to compete against the top runners in the region at the Santa Barbara County Cross Country Championship on Oct. 28. The Warriors runners fared well in each division, as Carpinteria came away with several medalists on the day. Senior Max Soto was the top finisher for Carpinteria in the boys varsity race, coming in at 13th out of nearly 90 competitors. Soto completed the course in 16:15, while teammate Ronnie Rosales-Bui finished with a time of 17:25.5 and Christian Dominguez finished with a time of 18:43.4. In the girls varsity race, Carpinteria junior Mila Martins earned a medal in 15th place with a time of 19:44. Senior Jaqueline Guadian was just a few seconds behind in 16th place with a time of 19:46.5, while seniors Victoria Martinez and Mitzy Arenas rounded out the competition with times of 21:41 and 24:46, respectively. The younger members of the Warriors team also turned in strong performances. Sophomore Belen MacMurray won the girls junior varsity race, while teammates Summer Ziegler and Stacie Miranda both finished in the top 11, helping Carpinteria’s girls come in third place as a team in the division. Brody Pozzebom finished in sixth place in the boys junior varsity race, and Liam Killen took eighth place in the frosh-soph division. “Both boys and girls teams ran some fast times on the flat River Park course in preparation for league finals on Thursday,” said Carpinteria coach Angel Silva. “Everyone is coming along very well in preparation for league finals on Thursday. The kids have worked very hard throughout the season, and the coaches are excited for them leading into league finals.” Carpinteria cross country will now prepare to compete at the Citrus Coast League Finals at Lake Casitas in Ojai this week.

Cate Rams roundup

Cate Girls’ tennis had a dominant showing at the Tri-Valley League Individual Championships, where the Rams claimed the top two spots in the singles finals and first place in doubles. All six players from Cate earned First Team All League Honors, and all the players will compete in the CIF Sectionals later this month. Cate was led by freshman phenom Elizabeth Jayich, who sailed through the first day of competition and advanced to the finals against teammate Jade Wang. In the championship match, it was an all-Cate affair and the action did not disappoint as Wang and Jayich both put on great performances before Jayich claimed the win and the league title. The double championship featured Cate freshmen Kiki Chang teamed up with veteran Lisa Hasebe, who was already the two-time defending league doubles champion. Together, the pair dominated, advancing to the final and defeating Villanova’s top duo in a dramatic three-set battle (6-4, 2-6, 6-4). “Our girls executed at a high level throughout this tournament, and I could not be more proud with the way they took care of business,” said Cate coach Trevor Thorpe. Cate boys water polo suffered a season-ending loss in the first round of the CIF Division 2 playoffs against Crescenta Valley. Cate controlled the game with a lead through most of the first three quarters, before Crescenta Valley pulled away with a one-goal victory, 11-10. The Rams had a great season, finishing with a perfect 12-0 record against league opponents and competing against some of the best teams in the state with much success. “This was our best game of the season,” said Cate coach Jesse Morrison. “It hurts to end this way, but I could not be prouder of how this team competed. I want to thank our seniors, Andrew Sheshunoff, Maddox Tanaka, Devon Liang and Max Van Someren, for their effort and commitment over their four years here. This group helped grow our program’s culture and prestige, and their impact will be felt long after they graduate.”
