CITY BEAT Law enforcement report sparks questions about ICE activity in Carpinteria

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

4  Thursday, October 15, 2026

Chief of Services says the sheriff’s office “will not intervene” with federal immigration enforcement BY RYAN P. CRUZ A report on local law enforcement led to questions about recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in Carpinteria, prompting a response from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office Chief of Services Rich Brittingham, who said deputies are notified of federal immigration enforcement but would not intervene with any federal immigration enforcement. The discussion came at the end of the monthly sheriff’s office report, when community member Rogelio Delgado asked about ICE activity in the city earlier that same morning, which included the reported arrest of a Carpinteria resident who was seen on video being tackled by masked officers outside a local grocery store. Delgado asked Lieutenant Brittingham if the sheriff’s office received advance notice of federal immigration enforcement, and whether there was any circumstance in which the sheriff’s office would show up in response to ICE activity. “Do they inform us if they’re coming? That’s ideally how it would work out for deconfliction purposes,” Brittingham re-

sponded. “I do believe this morning they did notify our dispatch that they were here. They don’t tell us where they’re going, or necessarily what they’re doing, but they did let us know they were in the area.” Brittingham further explained that sheriff’s deputies would not respond unless “something transpires where there’s a need for us to go.” He said that ICE was a federal agency, and anything that could be legally seen as intervening with federal enforcement was “just not gonna happen.” “We’re not gonna go,” Brittingham said. “We got several calls this morning to come intervene… (ICE) is a federal law enforcement agency and they’re out there doing what they do — nothing to do with us.” Vice Mayor Mónica Solórzano posed a more direct question, asking whether the sheriff’s office could be called if a city resident was in distress, or if somebody was being “incorrectly picked up.” “Well, you could call, but we’re not gonna come for that,” Brittingham replied. Brittingham said that local law enforce-

“Well, you could call, but we’re not gonna come for that.”

Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office Chief of Services Rich Brittingham ment was in a tough position, legally, and that a person who was arrested without due process would have to file a grievance directly with the federal agency that arrested them. The city’s legal counsel, Jena Shoaf Acos, explained that local law enforcement agencies are limited in their response to federal immigration enforcement. “The sheriff’s office can’t be seen as interfering with a federal agency or doing anything that could be construed as obstructing a federal officer.” On the flip side, the sheriff’s office is prohibited by state law from committing any resources to assist federal immigration enforcement. In light of these complications, the sheriff’s office has preferred to allow ICE to conduct operations, despite

pressure from residents who feel that local law enforcement should do more to protect immigrants. Solórzano then asked counsel if Carpinteria residents who are witnessing these arrests in their own neighborhoods had any recourse available to them. City counsel responded by saying there wasn’t much legal guidance at the moment, because cases regarding these same issues were still making it through the court system. “That’s a great question,” Shoaf Acos said. “I don’t have a good answer for you. I apologize.” “No, I appreciate that,” Solórzano responded. “That speaks to a lot of the distress from the community on mornings like this.”

Carpinteria crime drops as enforcement costs climb BY RYAN P. CRUZ The City Council received a report from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office detailing the past year in local law enforcement, which found that Carpinteria had a slight drop in crime and calls for service, consistent with a similar decrease across the county. Carpinteria has contracted its local law enforcement through the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office since 1992, and while the contract provides access to complete law enforcement resources — from criminal investigation to crisis negotiation, SWAT teams and canine units — the public safety costs have become increasingly expensive, taking up a large portion of the city budget at more than $6 million a year (the contract was about $3.9 million a year in 2019). Carpinteria’s law enforcement is run by its Chief of Services, Lieutenant Rich Brittingham, a 28-year sheriff’s office veteran and former detective who oversees a sergeant, senior deputy, two deputies and one admin professional who cover the entire city 24 hours a day. In addition to patrols and criminal investigations, the sheriff’s office provides access to intervention and bomb teams, vice, narcotics, human trafficking, aviation, dive team support, a mounted unit and search and rescue services. While the costs have increased since 2019, the city has experienced a slight drop in calls for service, violent crimes and property crimes. These numbers reflect similar trends being seen across the county and state. Level 1 crimes, which include violent and property crimes, decreased 11% to 178 reports in total — the lowest level seen in the city of Carpinteria since 2019. Calls for service were down by 6%, and for the sixth straight year there were no reported homicides in the city. There was a drop in burglaries, with 17 reported in 2025 compared to 25 reported the previous year. There were nine robberies in total, three more than the previous year, and 27 reports of aggravated assault, which was an increase from the 18 reports in 2024.

Calls for service

COURTESY GRAPHICS

Calls for service in Carpinteria declined 6% in 2025, dropping from 10,214 in 2024 to 9,567, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office annual report. The total remains well below the 12,734 calls recorded in 2015, despite rising costs for the city’s contracted law enforcement services. Crime related to homelessness was down substantially, with a 33% drop in calls for service overall. There were more than 500 calls for homeless-related crime in both 2023 and 2024, while the number dropped to 344 calls in 2025. The sheriff’s office also took fewer reports and made fewer arrests and citations compared to 2024. Brittingham said the lower numbers in 2025 were likely due to a push for more programs and resources for people experiencing homelessness. The city did experience an increase in reported traffic collisions. Collisions were up 10% from 2024 to 2025, and overall there has been a nearly 30% increase over a three-year period. There were 65 collisions reported in 2023, and 92 collisions in 2025, with injuries reported in 30 collisions last year.

Level 1 crimes

Level 1 crimes, which include violent and property offenses, declined 11% in Carpinteria in 2025, dropping from 200 reported incidents in 2024 to 178, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office. While burglaries, larcenies and motor vehicle thefts decreased, robberies and aggravated assaults increased.

Council approves community services grant funding

City Council approved just over $100,000 worth of community services support grants, which will go to support 13 different organizations and programs. The city has awarded more than $270,000 to community organizations through the Community Services Support Grant program since 2024, though this year the city’s total amount dropped from $150,000 to $100,000 due to budgetary constraints. There were 15 applications for grant funding, and the city was able to provide grants to all but two of the organizations who applied. The grant funding was supported with an extra $5,500 in Measure A funds for projects that offer public transit. The $100,500 in total grant funding includes individual grants of $16,000 for Help of Carpinteria (with $5,500 coming from Measure A transit funds); $15,000 for Carpinteria Children’s Project, Girl’s Inc. of Carpinteria and United Boys & Girls Club; $10,500 for Hospice of Santa Barbara; $10,000 for Standing Together to End Sexual Assault; $7,500 for Carpinteria Arts Center; $5,000 for Artesania Para la Familia; $2,500 for the Carpinteria Skate Foundation; and $1,000 grants for Reel Guppy Outdoors; Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation; People’s Self-Help Housing and the Chrisman California Islands Center. City Council unanimously supported the recommendations, though Council member Julia Mayer and Vice Mayor Mónica Solórzano both recused themselves due to involvement with organizations who are receiving funding.

ICE arrests two residents on Monday morning

A Carpinteria man was arrested outside Albertsons by masked members of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department on Monday, Oct. 12. A video of the arrest was taken by bystanders, including members of Carpinteria Sin Fronteras, a local defense coalition that tracks ICE activity in Carpinteria. Several bystanders were present when the man was taken at around 5 a.m. Monday morning. In videos taken by bystanders, the man is seen laying face down on a large pile of pumpkins outside of the grocery store, while an officer leans on his back. The arresting officers wore vests with “Police ICE” written across the back.

City Council celebrates Clementine’s 50 years

According to a video posted to social media by Carpinteria Sin Fronteras, ICE also arrested a resident near Santa Monica Road and Highway 192. As of Oct. 14, Coastal View News has only been able to confirm the two arrests in Carpinteria. Carpinteria Sin Fronteras also reported that at least eight vehicles associated with ICE were spotted around the city on Monday morning. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department could not confirm the number of people arrested by ICE. When questioned about the number, Public Information Officer Raquel Zick responded, “Please check with the Feds regarding their activity.” –– Jun Starkey

Carpinteria City Council celebrated the recently closed Clementine’s Steak House for 50 years of home cooking, hospitality and dedicated service, handing down an official proclamation to owner Lloyd McLenithan during Monday’s council meeting. Clementine’s had been a landmark along Carpinteria Avenue for a half century, providing good times and good food to generations of locals and visitors. The restaurant first opened in 1976, before Lloyd’s mother, Irene McLenithan, took over in 1982. Since then, the McLenithan family has operated Clementine’s for more than four decades, becoming a local hotspot for family milestones, birthdays, graduations and shared meals. The restaurant hosted its last service and closed on Oct. 4. “We just really appreciate being here, and we’re going to miss it, bigtime,” Lloyd said. “We’re not going to go anywhere, but as a business, we have to stop.” –– Ryan P. Cruz

CRIME continued from page 4 Brittingham noted that the popularity of e-bikes has contributed to the uptick in traffic collisions. He said e-bikes have been involved in two out of six of the most recent collisions reported in the city, including last month when a 16-year-old e-biker was injured after colliding with a vehicle after riding the wrong way on the street with no helmet. Brittingham also explained a recent change with reporting crime statistics that may affect the numbers in next year’s annual report. The sheriff’s office recently transitioned to a new system, the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), which is the national standard for collecting more detailed crime statistics. Under the new system, there are more categories and detailed information which helps provide comprehensive statistics, but which also contributes to a perceived jump in statistics for agencies making the shift to the new system. “It could make the crime statistics look a lot higher in some categories, even if the actual rate of the crime has not changed,” Brittingham said. The sheriff’s office began using the system this year, and all future annual reports will contain much more detailed information regarding crimes, reports and arrests.

Empty nest: Now what?

Obituary

Last month, I wrote about the many emotions that come with a child leaving home. You may feel sadness, worry, happiness, relief or a mix of all. There is no single “right way” to experience an empty nest. Once the initial transition settles, you may wonder what comes next. The answer isn’t simply to stay busy or stop missing your child. Your relationship continues, but now you’re exploring how your connections, routines and sense of identity ﬁt into this new phase of life.

Linda Silvestri (Linda “Lela” Campos) 09/30/1948 – 09/26/2026

The relationship with your child

Linda Silvestri passed away peacefully on Sept. 26, 2026, at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara surrounded by her family. Born and raised in Carpinteria to David and Sarah Campos, Linda graduated from Carpinteria High School and worked for the Santa Barbara News-Press for many years. Throughout her life, she selﬂessly devoted herself to helping others, touching many lives with her kindness and generosity. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Linda was preceded in death by her parents and her daughter, Kristen Blue Silvestri. She is survived by her brother, David; her sisters, Vickie and Rosemary; her daughter, Jessica; her granddaughter, Aleah; her great-grandson, J.R.; many beloved nieces and a nephew. Family, friends and all whose lives were touched by Linda are invited to join us in honoring and remembering her. A Rosary will be held on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026, at 7 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Church in Carpinteria. A Mass and funeral service will also be held on Friday, Oct. 23, 2026, at 10 a.m. at St. Joseph’s Church in Carpinteria. A graveside service and reception will follow at Carpinteria Cemetery. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Pueblo Del Rey Funeral Services.

Whether your child still lives at home or has left, communication naturally shifts as they become more independent. They may make choices you struggle with, and you’ll need to adjust to knowing less about their day-to-day life or inﬂuencing their decisions. “Do you want my advice, or do you just want me to listen?” “How can I support you?” Learning to enter conversations from this vantage point will help build healthy dialogue. Balancing how to stay connected without holding on too tightly is a quandary for many parents at this stage. Culture and family values can also shape how these transitions are experienced. Some families emphasize early independence, while others prioritize staying integrally involved in each other’s lives as an important expression of family connection. These values don’t necessarily make separation more diﬃcult, but they may need to be considered PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

Holy spirit, you who made me see everything and showed me the way to reach my ideals. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and who are in all instances of my life with me. I thank you for everything and conﬁrm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great the material desires may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. Thank you for your love towards me and my loved ones. Amen Persons must pray the prayer 3 consecutive days without asking the wish. After 3rd day the wish will be granted no matter how difﬁcult it may be. Promise to publish this dialogue as soon as favor is granted. Thank you. Advertisement

Relationship with you

MY WELLNESS NOW VICKIE GONZALEZ as the balance between independence and connection shifts as the relationship changes. In therapy, I have seen young adults balancing their love of their culture while also realizing new desires. For example, they may want to go to college far away; this doesn’t mean they are reneging on their responsibility or love for their family. They ﬁgure out their personal journey and how to communicate their needs to the family at home.

Relationships with others

For parents who have a partner, the empty nest often brings another major transition. For years, much of life revolved around the children, and now there will be more time and space for the relationship. For some couples, this stage brings more freedom, privacy and time together. Research finds many spouses report greater closeness after children leave, rediscovering mutual interests and creating new routines. For others, the quiet feels awkward or even painful. Without children as a shared focus, differences may surface. The absence of daily parenting can expose issues needing attention, especially when partners experience changes differently. Neither response is better than the other; it simply marks a next stage. Another important part of this is that each individual explores their own journey and figures out who they are now. If they don’t know themselves, it can be harder to build a healthy relationship with others, including a partner. For a parent who isn’t in a relationship, the focus may be more on reconnecting with themselves first, and then branching out to friends and community. Although this is similar to someone in a relationship, the uncoupled person will have

Parenting shapes routines, priorities, friendships, energy and sense of identity. When those responsibilities change, most people ask, “Who am I outside of being a parent?” They begin looking at what interests they may have put on hold or may now want to explore, what relationships they want to focus on and what matters most to them at this stage of life. This doesn’t imply abandoning the parent identity. It is about expanding it so that it is a piece of the puzzle rather than the whole thing. Creating a life after children leave isn’t about ﬁlling every moment or distracting yourself from thinking about your child. It’s about getting curious again — reconnecting with friends, exploring interests, spending intentional time alone or volunteering. Therapy can also help you ﬁgure out your next steps.

One moment at a time

An empty nest rarely follows a straight line. Sometimes kids return home or leave later than expected. Empty nesting is a series of transitions, not a single event; you may ﬁnd yourself recalibrating more than once as routines and relationships shift. The goal isn’t to stop missing your child. It is to let your relationship with them and with yourself evolve. You’re discovering more about who you are, just as your child is. As always, may this topic inspire curiosity, compassion and conversation.

Creating a life after children leave isn’t about ﬁlling every moment or distracting yourself from thinking about your child. It’s about getting curious again — reconnecting with friends, exploring interests, spending “Children are not intentional time alone things to be molded but are people to be unfolded.” or volunteering. — Jess Lair

In support of Xy for City Council

Why Xy for City Council? Because Alexandra “Xy” Antwerp is the best candidate to represent District 5. At a recent neighborhood meet-and-greet, Xy remarked, “I grew up knowing that loving this town means getting involved.” And getting involved is just what Xy has been doing, both as a planning commissioner and now as candidate for City Council. Xy’s work on the General Plan Update Committee directly aligns with her vision of creating good, commonsense, longrange planning to protect what makes our small beach town so special while also connecting with her past experiences as a professional business woman to ensure Carpinteria’s future economic vitality. “Small, friendly and sustainable” isn’t just a catchy campaign phrase for Xy. It reflects how she and supporters like me envision Carpinteria. Spoiler alert: Xy listens to Carpinterians and does her homework. While serving on our Planning Commission, Xy has proved herself to be one of those hardworking board members who reads through her entire packet before each meeting and before making any decisions for our community. She will show the same thoughtfulness, professionalism and diligence on City Council. Vote for Xy for City Council and know that our city will be in good hands.

Reelect Monica Solorzano

Over the last several years, I have had the opportunity to work alongside Monica Solorzano and have observed her approach to public service. At City Council meetings, she comes prepared with thoughtful questions and demonstrates a commitment to understanding the issues facing our community. Monica has contributed to the development of a thoughtful strategic plan that establishes priorities and guides the city’s long-term efforts. Her work on initiatives, such as AgeWell programming and the creation of new citywide policies, reflects her commitment to addressing community needs while planning for the city’s future.

Alexandra “Xy” VanAntwerp FOR CITY COUNCIL District 5 | November 3rd

Local government decisions are not always easy, and strong leadership requires accountability, thoughtful consideration and a willingness to work through complex issues. Monica has done this time and time again. For these reasons, I support Monica Solorzano for reelection. I believe her experience, consistency and commitment to public service make her a strong choice to continue representing our community.

There is not enough housing for Carpinterians and it is often not affordable.

Vote for Xy to restore public trust

As I prepare to vote, I think about the motto, “Think globally, act locally.” I used to think, “I’m so lucky to live in Carpinteria, a great small town, where my values and opinions are heard.” Sadly, this is no longer true. The greed mentality of the global oligarchs seems to have filtered down to our little town. We have a governor using housing mandates to force small communities to grow under the guise of solving “California’s housing affordability crisis.” Reality is developers are reaping big profits and building very few affordable homes; while our infrastructure is overtaxed and quality of life declines. Our county is forcing Carp to destroy its urban-rural boundaries by rezoning agricultural land for market rate units; we can’t even appeal to the Coastal Commission as its agenda has been set from above. The city of Carpinteria is changing, and not for the better. This is why I’m acting locally and voting for Xy VanAntwerp for District 5, City Council. She cares about the future of Carpinteria. She has an agenda-free vision to maintain our small-town character and restore public trust in government. Join me.

For the record... In CVN, Vol. 33, No. 4, “Before guacamole records were king,” about Carpinteria’s historic La Vina Grande grapevine, the location of the original Aliso School was incorrectly identified. According to local historian Jim Campos, citing Jayne Craven Caldwell’s historical account, the grapevine was moved in 1915 to the original Aliso School site on Walnut Avenue, where the Veterans Memorial Building now stands, not the present-day Aliso School campus. The vine was later moved to what is now Carpinteria State Beach after the old school was demolished.

ASK THE CANDIDATES

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

Setting priorities for Carpinteria’s future

City Council candidates weigh in on spending priorities, limited resources and city revenue

As the Nov. 3 election approaches, Coastal View News concludes its four-part “Ask the Candidates” series this week with a look at one of the most important responsibilities facing the next Carpinteria City Council: managing the city’s finances and determining how taxpayer dollars should be spent. Over the past four weeks, candidates seeking seats in City Council Districts 1, 3 and 5 have been invited to share their backgrounds, identify their top priorities and

discuss how Carpinteria should balance housing needs, development pressures and preserving the community’s character. Each candidate was given up to 300 words to respond. Readers who missed earlier installments of the series can find them online at coastalview.com.

The city faces rising costs, aging infrastructure and competing demands for limited resources. What should Carpinteria’s top spending priorities be, and where, if anywhere, should the city look to reduce costs or increase revenue? DISTRICT 5

Alexandra “Xy” VanAntwerp

When I think about the city’s budget, I think about what my neighbors care about: safe streets, roads that hold up, our library and programs that keep seniors connected and young people engaged. That’s where I will put our money and efforts first. Carpinteria has faced this before. In the 1980s, the city hoped development would fix its budget, but the costs weren’t planned for. A new council changed course, and within five years it built a $5 million reserve without major development or deep service cuts. We can’t build our way out of a budget gap. Before approving development projects, I will insist on weighing their full lifetime revenues and costs. In the short term, I will support freezing hiring, new consultant contracts and travel and training spending to protect the services people count on. Over the long term, I will follow a lesson from my family’s generations of farming: Take care of what you have. That means keeping up with repairs and rebuilding our reserves. I will support a finance committee with residents experienced in public finance, and a clear monthly report for staff, council and the public. To increase revenue, I believe protecting our environment and small-town beach character is the fiscally sound choice. Our beaches, bluffs, seal sanctuary, salt marsh and mountains are our jewels. Residents and visitors who enjoy them support local businesses, generating sales tax that funds city services. I will pursue grants, partnerships and skilled volunteers to care for these places and improve public access. I will work with the county to share costs fairly when its decisions affect our roads and services. Housing that local workers can afford and timely city decisions for local businesses are key to keeping our economy strong. Small, friendly and sustainable works for our finances, too.

Randy Carrasco

My top priority is repairing Carpinteria’s existing roads and sidewalks. These improvements are long overdue, and continued delays only increase the cost of addressing our infrastructure needs. With more than $24 million in deferred street and road maintenance, we should take a more proactive approach. We should continue utilizing funding available through Senate Bill 1 while aggressively pursuing additional state and federal grants. Projects such as the Carpinteria Avenue Bridge Replacement, pavement rehabilitation and storm drain improvements have already been approved and demonstrate the importance of securing outside funding. However, grants alone are not a sustainable solution. The city must prioritize infrastructure maintenance in its budget, responsibly manage existing resources and pursue reliable revenue sources to ensure we can maintain and repair our roads, sidewalks and other essential infrastructure for years to come. The Surfliner Inn could be one of Carpinteria’s largest new revenue generators, producing an estimated $1.8 million annually in combined rent and revenue while bringing a steady stream of overnight visitors who would support our local restaurants, shops and businesses. Measure I proposes a quarter-cent sales tax. Just $0.25 per $100 purchase is projected to generate approximately $700,000 annually for Carpinteria’s general fund, supporting roads, emergency preparedness, parks, public safety and community programs. Metered parking in downtown and the beach areas could provide an additional revenue source.

DISTRICT 3 Julia Mayer

Our spending priorities should be public safety, maintaining aging infrastructure and protecting essential community services. Paved roads, safe sidewalks and emergency preparedness are critical spending that the public expects. We have a responsibility to maintain our library, parks, pool and beaches: These assets make Carpinteria the place it is where folks of all ages thrive. We must maintain what we own and understand the long-term costs of every new capital project. In the two years that I have been on City Council we have taken meaningful steps to reduce costs and reduce the structural deficit. We must review contracts, staffing

needs and opportunities to partner with the county and our neighboring cities to share costs and services. With any cost-saving initiative, we must understand how the savings impact our long-term services. With staff we have reduced our projected annual structural deficit from approximately $1 million to $500,000. Public safety costs are growing much faster than all our major tax revenue sources (TOT, sales tax and property tax) combined. We cannot cut our costs out of this public safety cost increase. Cuts will be a part of the overall economic strategy, but we need to look to increase our revenue as well. The city has limited ways to grow revenue, but TOT and sales tax have the potential to be meaningful and to protect local control in the process. If approved, the sales tax Measure I could generate approximately $700,000 annually. I really believe that economic vitality is key. Helping existing businesses succeed, filling vacant storefronts and supporting quality local jobs will keep more spending in Carpinteria and strengthen our sales tax base. Each place we save money or increase revenue is a drop into the bucket that over time will add up to significant savings and greater financial stability.

DISTRICT 1 Aja Forner

Fix what we already have before we add anything new. Roads, storm drains, water and sewer lines and sidewalks are the basics every neighbor counts on, and they cost more the longer we wait. A pothole patched today is cheaper than a street rebuilt in five years. I’d put infrastructure first and keep it there, even when flashier projects compete for the same dollars. To pay for it, I’d start with grants. State and federal money is out there, and a city our size has to be ready with plans and applications to compete for it. I’d also partner with Santa Barbara County on roads, since many of the streets and routes we all drive cross city and county lines. Sharing the cost and the work means each dollar goes further. And I’d plan long-range maintenance so we budget for repairs instead of reacting to emergencies. On revenue, the best thing we can do is support the local businesses we already have while attracting new ones. That starts with speeding up permitting. Businesses can’t wait months or years for approvals. It’s not affordable for most small businesses, and it’s why larger employers choose to go elsewhere. A faster, clearer process keeps jobs and tax dollars here without raising anyone’s taxes. Carpinteria is small, and we can’t afford to waste money. Budget discipline is how we protect what we love and plan for what we need. Have a question, a concern, a thought? Let’s connect: ajaforcarpinteria@gmail.com.

Mónica Solórzano

My first spending priority is the basic work of keeping a city functioning: maintaining streets, sidewalks and public infrastructure; providing for public safety and emergency preparedness; and protecting the facilities and services residents rely on every day. Deferring maintenance may balance a budget temporarily, but it often leaves future taxpayers with a much larger bill. I also believe our budget reflects our values. Our library, parks, senior and youth programs and other community services matter to residents and contribute to the quality of life we are trying to preserve. The challenge is maintaining those services sustainably. On the cost side, I want us to keep examining every department for efficiencies and vacancies, looking for opportunities to share services and scrutinizing contracts and outside consulting costs. We should also continue aggressively pursuing state, federal and regional grants. Many of our infrastructure projects simply would not be possible without outside funding. But I don’t believe we can cut our way out of a structural deficit without eventually cutting services residents value. Some city programs and assessment districts currently cost substantially more to operate than the revenue dedicated to them, so we also need an honest conversation about cost recovery. Finally, I want to strengthen our revenue base by engaging more regularly with local businesses and better understanding how the city can support their needs. A strong local economy is an important part of the city’s long-term fiscal health, alongside exploring sustainable revenue sources. My standard is simple: Before asking residents for more, we must show that we are using what we already have responsibly.

Rail agency considers alternative to controversial Padaro siding project Revised alignment could reduce impacts from nearly 750 trees to just 10

BY CVN STAFF

A proposed alternative to a controversial $40 million railroad siding project along Padaro Lane could dramatically reduce impacts to mature trees, offering a potential compromise between expanded passenger rail service and preservation of the popular coastal corridor. The Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Agency, known as LOSSAN, announced at an Oct. 12 community meeting that it would study an alternative alignment for the Ortega Siding project that could reduce the number of affected trees from approximately 750 to 10, according to an updated press release from the nonprofit Friends of Padaro. The original proposal called for a 1.1-mile section of additional railroad track running as close as 10 feet from Padaro Lane, a popular route for walkers, runners and cyclists and a recognized segment of the California Coastal Trail. COURTESY GRAPHIC The proposed alternative would shorten the siding to less than 1 mile and A map released by the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency shows the study area for a potential alternative alignment shift its location toward Summerland, of the Ortega Siding project near Padaro Lane. The proposed shift toward Summerland would shorten the substantially reducing potential impacts railroad siding to less than one mile and could reduce the number of affected trees from approximately 750 to just 10. The alternative remains under review, and the original alignment is still being considered. to the mature trees lining Padaro Lane.

CUSD boasts 94% school attendance rate for 2025-26 school year notiﬁed that the address could not be veriﬁed and is asked to provide additional documentation to establish residency in Carpinteria or Summerland. The district and CLEAR do not have any information about an individual’s citizenship or immigration status.

SUPERINTENDENT’S DESK DIANA RIGBY CUSD SUPERINTENDENT

During the 25-26 school year, the Carpinteria Unified School District (CUSD) preliminary data shows a 94.4% student attendance rate which is the highest rate since 2021-22, and a significant improvement from the last five years. Chronic absenteeism was reduced but still concerning, as it significantly affects academic achievement. School administrators carefully monitor student attendance, and parents of students with three or more unexcused absences will receive a truancy letter requiring a meeting with the school site administrators and counselors to discuss school attendance improvement efforts.

Appreciation

I would like to recognize the transportation team: Nicolasa Vargas-Alcaraz, Jose Ochoa, Tammy Moreno, Frank Colson, Gabriel Ochoa and Joseph Gumber, led by Director Jim Pettit for safely transporting our special education students, student athletes and students on ﬁeld trips.

SBCEO approval of Fiscal Year 26-27 Adopted Budget and LCAP

As required by Education Code Section 42127, the Santa Barbara County Education Oﬃce (SBCEO) reviewed the CUSD Adopted Budget for 2026-27. SBCEO conducted a detailed analysis of the budget for compliance with State-Adopted Criteria and Standards and approved it as submitted. Additionally, the 26-27 LCAP has also been approved by SBCEO.

CLEAR system address veriﬁcation process for district registration

Before the beginning of each school year, the district generates a file containing student identification numbers, parent/guardian names and addresses. This file is securely submitted to the CLEAR system, which conducts a search against its database of publicly available records to determine whether the addresses provided by families correspond with information in its database. CLEAR then returns a list of students whose reported addresses do not match the information identified in its public records search. A CLEAR discrepancy is not, by itself, considered a determination that a student does not reside within the district boundaries. Each discrepancy is reviewed individually by district staff. When the district is unable to verify the reported address, the parent/guardian is

CUSD is committed to the responsible, effective integration of AI tools across our secondary schools. Currently, the September 2025 Board Policy: 0441 Artificial Intelligence guides AI use in our schools. Operationally, the district balances innovation with foundational development: Elementary schools focus on establishing robust core fluency in reading, writing and math, while secondary schools strategically introduce AI tools to augment and expand student creativity. CUSD educators are continuously expanding their expertise to effectively integrate Artificial Intelligence into teaching and learning. Last year, during district professional development days, secondary educators participated in a workshop series focused on building student AI literacy and leveraging AI tools for personalized instruction. Building on this momentum, district administrators attended the Cold Spring School District Summit during the summer to focus on implementing AI responsibly, ethically and effectively to maximize student achievement. This school year, CUSD secondary teachers are engaging with the Google AI Educator Series, a self-paced training program designed to optimize classroom applications of Google’s AI tools. In alignment with standard educational best practices, CUSD utilizes the Google for Education ecosystem. This platform provides a secure, controlled digital environment that safeguards student data privacy and ensures strict compliance with federal regulations, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). This “walled garden” approach guarantees that student data are never used to train public AI models.

Professional Development Day for teachers: Oct. 12

Elementary teachers participated in literacy and math professional development; Carpinteria Middle School teachers learned more instructional strategies for diﬀerentiation and integrating students with special needs in their general classes; and Carpinteria High School teachers will continue their learning about AI literacy for students and eﬀective AI tools for instruction.

Professional development for leadership team: Oct. 29

On Oct. 29, our district leadership team will be partnering with a small team from Santa Barbara County Education Oﬃce to practice a process called instructional rounds. Instructional rounds are modeled after “medical rounds” which are used routinely in medical schools and teaching hospitals to improve patient outcomes. For the CUSD instructional rounds, small teams of county and district administrators, led by the school principal,

During the 25-26 school year, the Carpinteria Unified School District (CUSD) preliminary data shows a 94.4% student attendance rate which is the highest rate since 2021-22, and a significant improvement from the last five years. will visit participating classrooms for 15 minutes each. Each team will take descriptive, factual, non-evaluative notes about what teachers and students are doing and saying and how students are demonstrating whatever the class task is (reading, speaking, listening, writing, building, creating a chart, etc.). Participating classrooms in fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and ninth grades will be visited by prior arrangement. This is professional development for district leaders to practice describing what we see students doing rather than focusing on what the teachers are doing. The purpose of instructional rounds is to determine districtwide instructional patterns. Participating teachers will be invited to practice the process of instructional rounds at a later time and will be compensated with a professional development stipend. The ultimate goal of this process is to improve system-wide instruction to increase student learning.

Professional development: Carpinteria Middle School

CMS administrators and ELA teachers will partner with SBCEO to participate in the “The Lead to Literacy” project to build a stronger literacy system at CMS, implement evidence-based literacy practices and track student progress over time.

National Hispanic Heritage Month: Sept. 15-Oct. 15

National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated nationwide to honor the rich histories, cultures and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans who have helped shape our nation. Elementary schools celebrated with assemblies featuring Los Vega and Mariachis. CMS DLI students displayed their projects and work in the CMS Gym on Oct. 1 to celebrate Hispanic culture. CHS students will attend a performance by Amalia Hernandez Ballet Folklorico de Mexico at the Granada Theatre later this year.

2026 Digital Citizenship Week: Oct. 19-23

In collaboration with the International Society for Technology in Education, Common Sense Education, the California State Libraries, Edutopia and #ICANHELP, the California Department of Education (CDE) will celebrate Fall Digital Citizenship Week from Oct. 19-23. This campaign promotes a healthy, balanced and positive approach to technology and media use for young people with core topics including online safety, cyberbullying prevention, digital footprint awareness, media literacy and critical thinking regarding AI tools. Learn more at commonsensemedia.org.

2026 National Red Ribbon Week: Oct. 23-31

Red Ribbon Week 2026 takes place from Oct. 23 through Oct. 31, 2026, with the official theme Make A Difference. Be A Hero. Stay Drug Free. The goal is to encourage students to view healthy, drug-free choices as everyday acts of courage and leadership. CUSD students

participate in school activities designed to increase alcohol/drug prevention awareness led by ASB and Student Council student leaders.

2026 Great California ShakeOut

CUSD will meet state earthquake drill requirements by participating in the Oct. 15, 2026 Great California ShakeOut. All staﬀ and students will practice “Drop, Cover and Hold On” as part of the drill organized by the Earthquake Country Alliance.

El Niño preparedness

The county of Santa Barbara recently hosted a community meeting focused on preparing for predicted El Niño weather conditions and potential impacts on residents, including school communities. We proactively plan for emergencies and, when severe weather occurs, consult with city, county and law enforcement agencies to assess local conditions and determine whether schools can operate safely. Decisions to close schools or release students early are never taken lightly. We recognize how much students, staﬀ and families depend on consistent school schedules and services. Unless an evacuation order is in place, CUSD makes school closure decisions guided by local conditions and consultation with partner agencies. Please stay connected on Parent Square for updates, make sure your emergency contact information is current and sign up for countywide emergency alerts at ReadySBC.org.

Oct. 31/Nov. 1 celebrations

School sites will celebrate Halloween with costumes and parades; Canalino will set up altares (altars) and ofrendas (oﬀerings) in the cafeteria to celebrate Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead; Aliso will sponsor its annual “Trunk or Treat” and Cascada de Flores will perform a themed Día de los Muertos performance, and our kindergarten classes will be hosted by the CHS agricultural students at the CHS Pumpkin Patch. CMS will sponsor a “Halloween” Dance on Friday, Oct. 30.

Measure U

Construction on the Aliso TK/K project continues to progress according to schedule, with an anticipated completion date in April 2027. Key project milestones and current activities include structural and exterior: Metal stud framing is advancing steadily, while roof framing and building sheathing are actively underway. Site backfill around the structure has been successfully completed; MEP and Systems: rough-in installations for mechanical, plumbing, electrical and fire sprinkler systems have commenced. Next steps: Subcontractors are scheduled to begin installing roofing paper next week. Diana Rigby is the superintendent of Carpinteria Unified School District.

Traveling Pants and La Herradura 805 find their footing on Linden Avenue

Morales family brings secondhand treasures and a little western flair to downtown Carpinteria CVN

CARPINTERIA BIZ BUZZ THE BIZZY BEE There’s a little more room to roam, shop and try on a pair of cowboy boots in downtown Carpinteria these days. Wife-and-husband team Gabriela and Noel Morales have moved their two businesses, Traveling Pants and La Herradura 805, into a new storefront at 933 Linden Ave., bringing children’s clothing, secondhand treasures and authentic Mexican western wear together under one roof. The businesses were previously tucked away in a rear suite at 949 Linden Ave., accessible from Yucca Lane. While longtime customers knew where to find them, the couple hopes their new street-facing location will introduce both shops to a wider audience. “In our previous location, it was sometimes difficult for people to find us,” Gabriela said. “We are thrilled to be in a place where we can welcome more customers, connect with new people and continue growing our wonderful community.” For Gabriela, owning Traveling Pants is a dream that began years ago, when she was a young mother shopping for her first daughter. A friend suggested she visit the popular children’s resale shop, then owned by Susan Solano. Gabriela immediately fell in love with its combination of affordable finds, sustainability and community spirit. She became a regular customer and eventually told Solano that if she ever retired, she would love to buy the business. “Over the years, Susan asked me several times if I was still interested in taking over Traveling Pants when she was ready to retire, and my answer was always ‘yes’,” Gabriela recalled. Two years ago, that opportunity arrived. Solano called to say she was ready to retire, and Gabriela and Noel decided to take the plunge. Today, Traveling Pants continues its tradition of offering new and gently used clothing and accessories for children from newborns through age 14. Shoppers can browse everything from shoes, toys and

KARLSSON

Gabriela “Gabby” and Noel Morales welcome shoppers to their new storefront at 933 Linden Ave., where the couple has brought together Traveling Pants, a children’s resale shop, and La Herradura 805, featuring handcrafted Mexican western boots and apparel.

From children’s toys and clothing to handcrafted Mexican cowboy boots and hats, the Moraleses offer a little something for everyone at their new Linden Avenue storefront. board games to swimwear, ballet gear, snow gear and seasonal merchandise, including Halloween costumes this month. For Gabriela, the appeal goes beyond bargains. “It’s about people, community, sustainability and the joy of giving quality items a second life,” she said. Meanwhile, La Herradura 805 brings a different kind of second life to Linden Avenue — one rooted in the couple’s Mexican heritage. The business specializes in its own brand of handcrafted, genuine leather western boots made in León, Guanajuato, Mexico, a city renowned for its leather industry. Gabriela grew up in nearby Romita, where cowboy boots were part of everyday life.

Traveling Pants and La Herradura 805 have moved from a rear suite off Yucca Lane to a more visible storefront at 933 Linden Ave.

The couple’s journey into the boot business began with a trip to León to meet with members of Gabriela’s family who manufacture boots. While driving to the meeting, they settled on the name La Herradura, Spanish for “the horseshoe,” adding 805 to represent their adopted home on California’s Central Coast. What happened later that evening convinced Noel the name was meant to be. While visiting Gabriela’s mother in Silao, Guanajuato, the family attended a traditional celebration featuring horseback riders, mariachi music and dancing. As the festivities wound down after midnight, Noel was taking down a canopy when he noticed a piece of metal protruding from a puddle. He pulled it out and discovered a horseshoe. “To me, it was a sign that we were on the right path,” he said. The unexpected discovery remains a treasured part of the business’s origin story. “Looking back, the name La Herradura 805 represents much more than just a business,” Noel said. “It represents our family, our roots in Guanajuato, our life in the 805 area and the beginning of a dream that we built together.” The shop currently offers western boots, with plans to expand its selection of hats and eventually introduce western clothing for children. Upcoming additions include handmade Mexican hats for men, women and children from San Francisco del Rincón, Guanajuato, along with other traditional Mexican crafts. And while cowboy boots and chil-

dren’s resale clothing might seem like an unusual pairing, the Moraleses say customers are enjoying the combination. “Even if they don’t buy a pair on their first visit, it’s so special to see them come back to try them on again,” Gabriela said. Behind both businesses is a family effort. Noel, originally from La Goleta in the State of Mexico, settled in Carpinteria after arriving in the United States, where his brother was already living. He and Gabriela married 15 years ago, and she joined him in Carpinteria a decade ago. Their daughters, Daniela, 11, and Ximena, 7, are already learning the family trade. Daniela helps at the store when needed, while Ximena is learning to ring up customers. Gabriela’s mother, Teresa Guzmán, also plays an essential role in keeping the businesses running. Noel helps balance family responsibilities, taking the girls to after-school activities while Gabriela manages the store. “Building a business while raising a family is a team effort,” Gabriela said. “Behind every dream is a whole lot of love, teamwork and sacrifice.” The couple is inviting the community to celebrate their second anniversary and soft reopening at the new storefront on Sunday, Oct. 25, with discounts, raffles and surprises throughout the day. Since moving, Gabriela said the response from customers has been heartwarming. “People have been walking into the store every day, telling me how happy they are to have a store like Traveling Pants in their community,” she said. For a family whose dreams have taken them from Mexico to Carpinteria — and from a hidden storefront to the heart of Linden Avenue — the journey is just getting started. “We have so many ideas and dreams for the future of our store,” Gabriela said. “But, as they say, one step at a time!” Traveling Pants and La Herradura 805 are located at 933 Linden Ave., Carpinteria. Current hours are Wednesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed Monday and Tuesday. Hours may change.

The Howard School hosts annual Pumpkin Patch PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON

The Howard School hosted its fourth annual Pumpkin Patch on Oct. 10 and 11, which included a raffle, games with prizes, live music, food and local vendors. The raffle was for a miniature electric bike, which was won by 8-year-old Octavio Perez, a third grader at Canalino Elementary School. Other games with prizes included Guess the Pretzels, where players guessed the number of pretzels in a container; and Guess the Pumpkin, where players estimated the weight of a large pumpkin. Justin Boyer was the winner of Guess the Pretzels, correctly guessing the exact amount of 642. Lauren Melet was the winner of Guess the Pumpkin, also guessing the correct weight of 128 pounds.

Mind your money, mind your mane, mind your manners CVN

THE SEAWITCH SAYS AMY OROZCO Dear Amy O., How would you approach this subject? A friend told me I could not afford some items she was going to sell. Is that rude? She appears to shoot her mouth off to others too. Would you ignore it or just count them as rude or moody and move on? Thank you. Signed, PO’ed Pocketbook Dear PO’ed Pocketbook, Yes, what you describe sounds rude to me. Telling people what they can and cannot afford is out of line. A real boundary crosser. It’d be a different story if you were a compulsive shopper, unable to meet your financial obligations, owed said friend money and in the throes of a spending bender. Then said friend is being a true friend. Unsolicited opinions rarely are welcome and can be quite damaging to rela-

tionships, especially in regard to finances, appearances or child rearing. Here are some relationships where it’s okay to tell people what they can or cannot afford: • A parent and child • Mortgage broker, loan officer, CPA or financial planner and a client • Spouses or household partners sharing expenses and (ideally) making financial decisions together As an aside, I find it odd that someone trying to sell something would sabotage the sale, and friendship, by being presumptive and socially intrusive, i.e. rude. To your second question, would I ignore it or just count them as rude or moody and move on? I definitely would count them as rude or moody. I would want to ignore it and move on, but it likely would stick in my craw for a while; would wedge itself so deeply in my craw that maybe I would buy the item whether I could afford it or not and/or whether I really wanted the item or not — just to show said friend! (Show them what? That I’m an idiot?) Dear Amy O., I realize it’s the style once again to have long hair. Everyone under 20 looks the same to me. It’s a style; it’s a choice. And it’s lovely. Once you have matured, another look would be welcome. Shortish hair is easier to deal with, looks stylish

and sharp and, most importantly, moves one from girl to woman. Would it be rude to tell someone, either friend or acquaintance, diplomatically, to think about a more ﬂattering cut? Signed, Talk about a Shear Disaster

Dear Amy O., Something I have been thinking about: Is it important to tip when you pick up to-go food from a restaurant? Signed, To Tip or Not To Tip, That is the Question

Dear Talk about a Shear Disaster, In a word, yes. It would be rude to suggest a more flattering cut, particularly if you were not asked for a suggestion or opinion. Maybe if your friend or acquaintance didn’t realize her purple mohawk most likely wouldn’t score extra points at her job interview for bank manager or undercover detective work, then it might be okay. Because your sense of style is different than hers doesn’t give you permission to assume the role of Vidal Sassoon, Mr. Blackwell or José Eber. Are you familiar with the party word game Mad Libs? Players provide words (noun, verb, etc.) for blanks in a story, usually with comedic results. We could do a modified version right here using my answer to the previous question. Replace the financial- or money-related words with hairstyle-related words, such as coiffure, bangs, blow dry, layer or cut. Try that and see what answer you come up with.

Dear To Tip or Not To Tip, That is the Question, Yes, tipping when picking up to-go food from a restaurant is important, especially for those on the other side of the counter. By deﬁnition, tipping is not mandatory, though it is greatly appreciated. Allow me to save you from asking the obvious next question: How much should one tip? I think some sort of restaurant association wrote this guideline: Tips for takeout orders average from 10% to 20%, depending on the complexity of the order. For fast casual or coﬀee shops, some etiquette experts suggest a few dollars or loose change go into the tip jar. Tipping is a way to show appreciation. Best to do so accordingly. Former CVN editor Amy Marie Orozco loves living in Carpinteria, including all the sometimes socially sticky situations happening in our seaside setting. Have a question for her?

Dursty Lifeguard Games make waves in Carpinteria PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON

Carpinteria’s storied waterman tradition came roaring back to life Sunday, Oct. 11, as elite athletes, hometown competitors and aspiring young ocean enthusiasts gathered for the inaugural Dursty Lifeguard Games at Carpinteria State Beach. Organized by Dursty Brands in partnership with Carpinteria State Park, the event celebrated a local surf lifesaving legacy dating to the 1960s, when legendary watermen Alex Nordholm, Jeff White and Paul Hodgert helped put Carpinteria on the international competitive map. According to event organizer and Carpinteria entrepreneur Matthew Organista, the competition drew international champions and rising stars for a grueling five-event Lifeguard Pentathlon featuring swimming, paddling, running and combined ocean disciplines. Mother Nature added an unexpected challenge. Strong onshore winds, powerful currents and hurricane swell transformed what had been nearly ideal conditions into a demanding test of endurance and ocean skills. South African competitors Hayden and Sash Hemmens captured the men’s and women’s overall titles, respectively. Go-

leta’s Ricky Hayes finished third among the men, while local favorite James Bray placed fourth. Carpinteria’s own Hazel Dugre, just 17, delivered a standout performance, finishing fifth in the women’s competition against seasoned international athletes. But the day wasn’t just about elite competition. Young spectators got a taste of the action during a free Beach Flags competition, sprinting across the sand in an activity designed to introduce children to surf lifesaving. Organista, who is developing Dursty Brands alongside business partner Nicole Ricketts, said the event was created to honor Carpinteria’s waterman heritage while inspiring future generations of ocean athletes. With its motto, “Stay Gritty. Stay Thirsty. Stay Dursty,” the company hopes to build challenging outdoor sporting events that celebrate athleticism, adventure and community. As the accompanying photos illustrate, Carpinteria’s waterman spirit remains alive and well — more than six decades after its earliest champions made waves on these shores.

Female competitors charge into the surf for the 500-meter Board Race, battling strong winds, currents and hurricane swell.

THROWBACK

The integration of Carpinteria Baseball, 1930

THURSDAY

BY JIM CAMPOS

Semi-pro baseball was immensely popular in Carpinteria in the 1930s. It was also, initially, a segregated sport. As the decade progressed, however, teams evolved, integrating year-by-year. Sports have a way of breaking down racial barriers as the players get to know each other on and off the field. Some of them shine and become local heroes. The newspapers of the era — the Carpinteria Herald and the Carpinteria Chronicle — could be counted on to publish box scores religiously, with a summary of the game usually added. The Chronicle even dedicated occasional columns in the years 1932-1934, putting a spotlight on the individual players. Cy Treloar, one of the Carpinteria Merchants, recalled on a card kept in a picture file at the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History competing in the Tri-County League. It was comprised of teams from such communities as Santa Paula, Ojai, Goleta, Piru, etc., “much to the interest of the rooters from the Carpinteria Valley.” We “won more than we lost that year” said Treloar of the 1930 baseball season. What kind of baseball? He added, “Sort of sand lot, semi-pro Sunday ball.” A Mexican team sponsored by the Cerca del Mar beach club played teams from the same tri-county communities as well as teams from the Los Angeles area. Los Angeles-based Spanish newspapers covered some of those games. A team from Carpinteria, most likely the Cerca del Mar one, was called “Los Carpinteros” — the Carpenters — naturally. One existing newspaper clipping describes a game between Los Carpinteros and “Los Zapateros” — the Shoemakers — a fabled L.A. team. One of the Carpinteria players in that game was singled out for pitching excellence and hailed as “El Surdo Sanchez.” Surdo means “lefty” or “southpaw.” More on Mr. Sanchez, later. The team photos that accompany this week’s column are both from the year 1930. As one can see, the Carpinteria Merchants have no Mexican players. The Cerca del Mar team has nothing but Mexican players. To put this in perspective, in 1929, the Carpinteria Herald announced that a Carpinteria five-team league was formed for all-American players, i.e., no Mexicans allowed. Within a couple of years of that advertisement, however, the best of the Mexican American players were being recruited to represent Carpin-

And by 1947, when school integration was achieved because of the Westminster Court case in Orange County, and the Mexican American servicemen were returning from World War II, the formerly “all-American” Carpinteria Merchants team would be made up of almost all Mexican American players. Clarence Peterson, one of Carpinteria’s best ballplayers of the late ‘30s (he said he was offered a contract by a Brooklyn Dodgers baseball scout!) said that the Mexican players were much more serious about the game of baseball than his own white sandlot teammates. Indeed, Sunday baseball for the Mexican community was a festive, family environment. Games were followed by potluck picnics on the Aliso School grounds. Peterson liked the brand of baseball they played and would come out to watch. Asked if he ever played against the local Mexican team, he said, “no,” that it wasn’t permitted. One of the most celebrated of the Carpinteria ballplayers was Pete Sanchez, who played through parts of four decades! He is the “Surdo Sanchez” mentioned above. Like the coveted Peterson, Sanchez was on the radar screen of major league baseball scouts. A telegram exists

The Carpinteria Merchants club in 1930 included, top row, Ray Haas, Ollie Prickett, Mix Van de Mark, Tuffy Treloar, Jim Chapman, Phil Mills, Cy Treloar and Carl Carleson; and bottom row, Harry McLaughlin, Jim Woods, Emil Stemper and Tom Dornam.

By 1947, when school integration was achieved because of the Westminster Court case in Orange County, and the Mexican American servicemen were returning from World War II, the formerly “all-American” Carpinteria Merchants team would be made up of almost all Mexican American players. that confirms that the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League were keeping an eye on him. (The Oaks, and other high-profile California teams like the San Francisco Seals, Hollywood Stars and Los Angeles Angels served as conduits to major league baseball clubs that in the 1930s were only played from as far west as Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and St. Louis to the east coast cities of New York, Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, etc.) Sanchez can be seen in the Cerca del Mar team photo of this column in all of his youthful exuberance. Dozens of newspaper clippings of his exploits on the baseball field still exist in scrapbooks kept by the Ed Arellano family and Al Orozco of Carpinteria. Sanchez was a marvelous left-handed hurler who kept hitters off-balance with an assortment of curve balls and sliders. By the very early ‘30s, all the baseball teams in Carpinteria had a place for a player like Sanchez on their roster. The same could be said of another of the Cerca del Mar pitchers, Manuel Bennett, he of the Anglo surname. Others who were quickly integrated were their battery mates — that is, their catchers — Joe Granada and Val Alonzo. That makes sense. Pitchers and catchers needed to communicate well to be effective, but Granada and Alonzo were also powerful hitters. Second baseman, Martin “Chicho” Moreno, also appeared often in the box scores of the integrated Carpinteria teams featured in the local newspapers of the 1930s. One of the best remembered moments involving Sanchez occurred late in his playing days, in 1949. An “Old Timers”

Pete was the most renowned player of the Carpinteria semipro era. He’s wearing the snappy uniform of the integrated team of the early 1930s. All-Star game of the best Santa Barbara County baseball players was played at the now defunct Laguna Ballpark in Santa Barbara. Early in the game, one of the starting pitchers was rocked by a barrage of hits and knocked out of the contest. From the dugout, Sanchez was rolled out in a wheelchair to the pitching mound for a relief appearance. The crowd roared its approval as Old Pete bounded out of the wheelchair, took some warm-up throws and proceeded to restore order. He held the opposing team at bay, and his side rallied for the win.

ON THE ROAD

CVN takes a relaxing trip to Indiana

PHOTO COURTESY OF ED AND CARMEN ARELLANO

Pete Sanchez is in a baseball uniform and a wheelchair at an “Old Timers” All-Star game in 1949. Sanchez had a long playing career in baseball as a crafty pitcher. In a stunt, Old Pete was wheeled to the pitching mound. He bounded out of the chair and pitched, much to the delight of an adoring crowd, at Laguna Park in Santa Barbara. Note the wreath of herbs and vegetables on his lap. Was this diet the key to his athletic longevity?

Coastal View News photographer Robin Karlsson spent a week with Weezie, her college bestie, and the Rowan family at Clear Lake in the upper northeast corner of Indiana. “It’s a serene little town where I can totally relax and recharge my inner self,” said Karlsson. “We swam in the clearest water, took pontoon rides, saw deer and chased Amish buggies. I am thankful to be invited to be Robin Rowan for one beautiful week every summer.”

Breaking barriers on the baseball diamond

The photo above is of a Carpinteria semi-pro team hand-dated 1930. It is of a racially integrated group of ballplayers. The sharp-looking uniforms are adorned with a large block “C” signifying Carpinteria. The ballplayers come from the same groups of players that were photographed from the non-Mexican Carpinteria Merchant team of 1930 and the all-Mexican Cerca del Mar team from the same year. No documentation has been found yet of an integrated Carpinteria semipro team from 1930. More likely, it is from the 1932-34 years when the upstart Carpinteria Chronicle — the Chronicle was published from 1932-41 — wrote giddily about the creation of a new Carpinteria semi-pro baseball club that would include some of the best of the Mexican American players in Carpinteria. An integrated team! The pitching-rich Mexican team had hurler Pete Sanchez and the eﬀective Manuel Bennett, plus their power-hitting battery mates Joe Granada and Val Alonzo, their catchers.

Then, there was the speedy, slick-ﬁelding Martin “Chicho” Moreno. The photo above has names attached, apparently in left to right order, but not determining who is standing or kneeling. The players are included in the team photos of the Cerca del Mar and Carpinteria Merchants of 1930. The four players standing and kneeling to the far right are Val Alonzo, Martin “Chicho” Moreno, Ollie Pricket, founder of the Alcazar Theatre in 1928, and Manuel Bennett. Alas, the ballyhooed team by the Chronicle did not meet great expectations on the baseball diamond. The team was disbanded before the baseball season was even completed. Perhaps, the venture was a failure of a grand experiment in integration. Whatever the reason, integration in Carpinteria would have to wait until after World War II when a diﬀerent kind of hero arrived, the returning military veterans, some of whom gave their lives for their country and Carpinteria.

Dr. Jim Campos is a native-born Carpinterian. Upon retiring from a 35-year career with the Carpinteria Uniﬁed School District in 2006, he joined a local group of historians to publish two pictorial history books on Carpinteria. Jim’s curiosity about local history grew from that experience. He is currently serving on the Carpinteria Cultural Foundation, which honors the achievements and contributions of Carpinteria’s diverse community. In 2020, Jim wrote an entire year of weekly columns for CVN’s Throwback Thursday.

Carpinteria makes progress in league play Warriors water polo is in prime position to make the CIF playoﬀs

BY RYAN P. CRUZ Carpinteria boys water polo has continued to perform well in a new league this year, winning two out of three league matches in the past week to put the Warriors in prime position to make the CIF playoffs. The Warriors had a challenge in a match against crosstown rival Cate on Oct. 7. Cate won its first 13 games of the year before suffering a tournament loss in the first week of October, and the Rams had yet to lose to a league opponent. Cate started out strong, scoring two goals in the first two minutes before Carpinteria responded with a counterattack goal and a penalty goal from senior Chris Reed. Carpinteria junior Luke Donahue added another goal before the end of the first half, but Cate’s offense kept scoring and the Rams went into halftime with a comfortable 10-3 lead. The Warriors’ offense responded in the third quarter, as Donahue and Reed added two more goals. But Cate answered each time, maintaining the lead into the final quarter. Carpinteria junior Brandyn Moore opened up the fourth quarter with a goal, and the Warriors had additional scores from Donahue, senior Ryder Shaw and freshman Junius Fedders, though Cate continued to keep ahead and pulled away by a final score of 18-9. Warriors goaltender Stefano Piccoletti put in a valiant effort in the net, finishing with nine blocks and two steals. Donahue led the team with three goals and two steals, and the Warriors’ defense ended with 10 steals as a team on the perimeter. Two days later, the Warriors were back at their home pool to host the Villanova Wildcats for another league match. In this game, Carpinteria’s senior trio of John Morrison, Oscar de Leon and Shaw got the scoring started with first-half goals to help the Warriors build an 11-4 lead at the break. Carpinteria freshman Isaac Zick got the Warriors ahead even more with two cross-cage finishes, and Shaw added two more goals to keep Carpinteria firmly in the lead. The Warriors cemented the win in the fourth quarter with additional goals from Fedders and sophomore Cade McCal-

Carpinteria faced its third-straight league test on Oct. 12, with a road match against Hueneme. The Warriors continued to ride the winning momentum in this match, with four early goals from Reed, Shaw, McCallister and Fedders in the first quarter. Carpinteria added two more goals from freshmen Noah Oliver and James Melton to go into halftime up 7-3. Carpinteria’s defense locked in for the second half, holding Hueneme scoreless in the third quarter and only allowing one goal for the remainder of the game. The Warriors added to their lead and took the win by a final score of 14-4. “Everyone contributed to the match today, and I’m proud of their discipline in the game,” said Carpinteria coach Russell Russo.

SHORT STOPS BY RYAN P. CRUZ

Bryant said. The Warriors kept the win streak alive in their next match, a league game at home against Hueneme on Oct. 12. The Vikings provided a challenge, but the Warriors still came away with a win by a score of 14-4. Alcaraz had a tough matchup in singles against Hueneme’s top player, but Alcaraz came away with a 3-0 sweep, while Hernandez added two points and Cruz added one. Carpinteria was successful in doubles against Hueneme, with three different duos combining to add to the Warriors’ winning tally. “The Vikings are always a tough squad to play,” Bryant said. “They do an excellent job of keeping the points going and making us come up with better and better shots to beat them.” Carpinteria has now won five straight matches at home, and the Warriors are still undefeated in Citrus Coast League play at 6-0. Carpinteria will have one more road match against Santa Paula before the postseason.

Warriors get win on road at Santa Clara

Carpinteria football earned its first win of the year, coming away with a dominant 35-7 performance in a league game on the road at Santa Clara on Oct. 9. The Warriors defense stepped up big in the win, holding Santa Clara to the lowest points total of any opponent Carpinteria faced this season. The Warriors offense, led by senior quarterback Isaac Neri, did just as well, scoring more than any other game this year. Carpinteria scored on the opening drive, with a couple of big plays putting the Warriors in scoring position before junior running back Victor Martinez capped off the drive with a 15-yard touchdown run to put the Warriors up 7-0. In the second quarter, Neri led Carpinteria on another long drive, with a first-down catch by sophomore Brayden Real, a jet sweep run by junior Gabe Chung and a catch by sophomore Benji Martinez that put the Warriors right at the goal line. Neri then plunged into the end zone on a quarterback sneak to put Carpinteria ahead 14-0. Neri continued to conduct the offense in the second quarter, spreading the ball around with a first-down pass to junior Emilio Trigueros before finding Chung in the back of the end zone for another touchdown to put Carpinteria up by 21 points. In the second half, the Warriors scored twice more. In the third quarter, Chung returned a punt deep into Santa Clara territory, setting up another short touchdown run for Neri. In the fourth, Neri got loose for a 28-yard touchdown to put the score at 35-0. Santa Clara scored one late touchdown, but a late interception by Trigueros sealed the win for Carpinteria, 35-7. Carpinteria coach Van Latham said it was a “big relief to finally get in the win column.” “Our team has worked hard all season,” Latham said. “It is gratifying to get the reward for all the effort they have put in. Our defense did a nice job tackling and running to the ball. Santa Clara did not threaten to score until the end of the game.” Latham credited the Warriors backfield, with Martinez making tough yardage as running back and Neri providing big plays with his legs and arm. “Both sides of the ball and our special teams played well,” Latham said. “It was our largest offensive output of the season and the fewest points the defense has allowed this season.” With the win, Carpinteria is now 1-6 overall, and 1-1 against league opponents. The Warriors still have a chance to make the playoffs and will now prepare to host Grace for the homecoming game on Friday, Oct. 16.

Carpinteria tennis continues win streak

Carpinteria girls tennis has now won five straight matches, and the Warriors are still at the top of the league standings after adding three more league wins in the past week. The Warriors hosted Nordhoff for a league match on Oct. 6, with both teams coming into the match with equally unblemished 3-0 league records. It was a tight match, but the Warriors held on for a victory by a final score of 11-7. Carpinteria’s singles specialist Aubrey Alcaraz put in one of her best performances of the year, finishing with yet another 3-0 sweep after pulling out a close back-andforth final set. The Warriors also found success in doubles, with the duo of Emily Banks and Cailyn Gillen finishing with a 3-0 sweep with only one game dropped, while partners Caroline Cooney and Yoselyn Aguirre turned in a similar three-set sweep with just three dropped games. Carpinteria won again two days later in another league match at home, this time against the Fillmore Flashes. The Warriors dominated both singles and doubles play, winning all but two sets and coming away with a 16-2 match victory. Coach Bryant switched up the lineup against Foothill, finding success with Alcaraz joining Nathalie Hernandez to win two sets in doubles before Hernandez teamed up with Ariana Cruz to win a third set. The duos of Naima Palacio with Areli Reyes, and Yoselyn Aguirre with Sarai Mota also finished 3-0, while Gillen and Cooney tried their hands at singles and both came away with three-set sweeps. Cooney has yet to lose in singles or doubles this season. “(Caroline) showed she is a force to deal with in doubles and now in singles,”

Carpinteria’s boys and girls cross country teams traveled to Goleta to compete at the Dos Pueblos Invitational on Oct. 10, where at least five Warriors runners earned medals in their divisional races. Carpinteria senior Max Soto was the highest finisher for the Warriors, taking fourth place overall in a crowded field of 75 runners in the Senior Boys division with a time of 16:08.8. Warriors seniors Jaqueline Guadian and Victoria Martinez both earned medals in the Senior Girls race. Guadian earned seventh place overall with a time of 20:37.9, while Martinez took 18th with a time of 22:46.18. Carpinteria runners also earned medals in the sophomore and freshman divisions. Sophomore Belen MacMurray earned 14th place in her division with a time of 21:48.2, ANGEL SILVA while freshman Summer Ziegler earned a medal in the freshman race with a time Senior Max Soto earned a medal after finishing fourth overall at the of 24:16.6. “This is a good meet for our kids to run Dos Pueblos Invitational. because it gives them an opportunity to compete with their grade level and work towards earning an individual medal,” said Carpinteria coach Angel Silva. “We have been fighting illness the past two weeks, so having this upcoming week off gives us an opportunity to get well and rest up.” Carpinteria cross country teams are in excellent spots heading into the end of the season, with the girls team in first place in the league and the boys team in second place. The Warriors will now prepare to compete at the Mt. Sac Invitational on Friday, Oct. 23.

Carpinteria golf takes second in league

Carpinteria girls golf finished in second place in a Citrus Coast League match on Oct. 8, with the Warriors’ team leader Sophia Garay turning in an impressive score of 37 — the lowest of any player at the league match. It was the third cluster match of the year, with Carpinteria coming in second just behind match winner Nordhoff. Carpinteria’s golfers shot a combined score of 268, while Nordhoff finished with a score of 250. Carpinteria girls golf was back in action on Tuesday, Oct. 13 for a non-league matchup against Foothill Tech, a team that was crowned as the champion in the Tri-Valley League. The Warriors put in a great balanced effort in the head-to-head match, though Foothill Tech pulled away to win by a slim margin, 263-256.

Warriors volleyball rallies for playoffs

Carpinteria girls volleyball won four of its last five matches, and the Warriors finished in second place in the Citrus Coast League heading into the final match of the regular season. The Warriors kept the winning ways going with victories over Santa Paula and Dunn, before Carpinteria’s win streak came to an end in a loss against Nordhoff on Oct. 13. Carpinteria defeated Santa Paula in four sets on Oct. 6, giving up the first set to the Cardinals before rallying to win three straight and claim the match victory 3-1. The Warriors were led by seniors Cora Nimmons and Leona McClellan, as Nimmons finished with an all-time personal record of 20 kills and 31 digs, while McClellan added 25 digs of her own in the win.

Carpinteria swept Dunn in three sets on Oct. 9, marking the Warriors’ fourth win in a row. In this win, Nimmons and Evelyn Aviles provided well-timed serving runs that kept the Warriors rolling through each set. Carpinteria’s win streak came to an end on Oct. 13, when the Warriors faced the undefeated league leader Nordhoff. The Rangers were the last team to beat Carpinteria back when they met in September, and in this match Nordhoff cruised through to a 3-0 sweep. While the Warriors still have one more match this season, the league standings are finalized with Nordhoff in first place and Carpinteria in second. Both teams will qualify for the playoffs.

Cate Rams roundup

With less than one week left before the end of their respective seasons, Cate’s boys water polo and girls tennis team are both poised to finish as league champions. Cate girls tennis moved to a perfect 12-0 record — with a 5-0 record in the Tri-Valley League — after another one-sided win on the road against the league’s other top team, Laguna Blanca, on Oct. 13. The Rams were led by Ivy Huang, who swept three singles sets with just one game dropped. The doubles duo of senior Lisa Hasebe and junior Chelsea Newlove teamed up to put in another 3-0 sweep, while senior Claire Tang won three sets with two different partners. After defeating Laguna Blanca 16-2, Cate girls tennis is now at the top of the league standings with two matches left, both at home, against Thacher and Laguna Blanca. Cate boys water polo won two more league games in the past week, defeating crosstown rival Carpinteria 18-9 on Oct. 7 and beating Hueneme 18-2 in a home match on Oct. 9. The Rams have been led by a deep roster of talent with the ability to score from any position in the pool. Against Hueneme, Cate scored 10 goals in the first period alone, and at least 11 different players scored before the game was finished. “We looked disciplined and sharp, keeping our league record perfect as we head into the final stretch of the season,” said Cate coach Hesse Morrison. Cate boys water polo is 16-2 overall, and 9-0 in league play, with just four matches left on the schedule. The Rams will have a big test this week against San Marcos — a team ranked in the top 15 in the CIF Southern Section — before taking on a trio of league matches to end the regular season.
