Water district to hold Oct. 28 hearing on CAPP charges

Customers can submit written protests over proposed addition to monthly water bills BY CVN STAFF The Carpinteria Valley Water District (CVWD) will hold a public hearing Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 5:30 p.m. to consider placing capital charges for the Carpinteria Advanced Puriﬁcation Project (CAPP) on customers’ monthly water bills beginning Jan. 1, 2027. The hearing will take place in the Carpinteria City Council Chambers at City Hall, 5775 Carpinteria Ave. Customers and property owners may attend and comment on the proposed billing changes, and written protests will be accepted through the close of the hearing. The hearing follows a July 22 meeting at which the district’s board voted 3-2 to place annual CAPP capital charges on Santa Barbara County property tax bills. The proposal failed because it did not receive the two-thirds majority required for approval. The district subsequently announced that the capital charges would instead be collected through monthly water bills and mailed a new Proposition 218 notice to customers explaining the proposed changes and their rights to protest. According to the district, the change does not increase the previously adopted annual CAPP capital charges but changes how they will be collected. For most single-family residential customers with a three-quarter-inch water meter, the proposed monthly charge would be $8.98 beginning Jan. 1, 2027. That amount would decrease to $8.65 on July 1, 2027, before increasing to $9.23 on July 1, 2028. The initial monthly amount is higher because the annual charge for ﬁscal year 2027 would be collected 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, 2026. Those existing charges are intended to fund the project’s operating costs and build reserves while construction continues. CAPP is a roughly $90 million project designed to purify treated wastewater from the Carpinteria Sanitary District and

For the record...

inject it into the Carpinteria Groundwater Basin for future use. The district estimates that the project will provide approximately 1,000 acre-feet of water annually, enough to meet more than one-quarter of its water needs. Approximately $34.5 million of the project’s cost is covered by state and federal grants. The district has also secured a $50 million, low-interest, 30-year loan to help ﬁnance construction. Construction began in May 2026, and the district anticipates completing the project within three years.

How to submit a protest

If a majority of affected properties submit valid written protests, the proposed charges cannot be adopted. Customers wishing to file a formal legal objection challenging the lawfulness of the proposed charges must submit that objection by Oct. 23, five days before the hearing. Additional requirements for legal objections are outlined in the district’s mailed notice. More information, including the proposed charges for different water meter sizes, is available at cvwd.net or by calling (805) 684-2816.

CITY BEAT Four appeals challenge Surfliner Inn approval

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

4  Thursday, October 22, 2026

Appellants raise concerns over parking, neighborhood safety and environmental review; City Council hearing tentatively set for Nov. 30 BY MICHAEL VANSTRY Four appeals filed against the proposed Surfliner Inn will send the controversial downtown hotel project back before the Carpinteria City Council, where elected officials will reconsider the development, its environmental review and the Planning Commission’s recent approval. The appeals, filed by the Oct. 15 deadline, challenge various aspects of the proposed 36-room hotel at 499 Linden Ave. and the accompanying public parking lot south of the railroad tracks. Concerns range from neighborhood traffic and pedestrian safety to noise, environmental impacts and the adequacy of the city’s environmental review. While some appellants oppose the hotel outright, others say they would support the development if the city adopted a different parking arrangement. The Planning Commission voted 4-0 on Oct. 5 to certify the project’s Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and 3-1 to approve the hotel, with Vice Chair Jane Benefield dissenting on the project approval. The commission selected Alternative 5, which calls for a new 95-space public parking lot at 399 Linden Ave., south of the railroad tracks, with vehicles entering from Linden Avenue and exiting onto Elm Avenue toward Dorrance Way. The project would also include a two-story hotel, café, visitor center, rooftop bar and lounge, swimming pool and associated improvements. The development would occupy a portion of the existing City Parking Lot #3, leaving 46 public spaces there. Together, the two lots would provide 141 public parking spaces, compared with 113 currently available in Lot #3. Principal Planner Mindy Fogg confirmed that all four appeals were received by the deadline and are tentatively scheduled for a single City Council hearing Monday, Nov. 30. The Planning Commission’s approval is not final while the appeals are pending, Fogg said. The City Council will conduct a de novo hearing, meaning council members will consider the project anew rather than simply review whether the commission made an error. The council may affirm, reverse or modify the commission’s decision.

Parking alternatives at center of dispute

Alan and Carol Koch, who filed one of the appeals, are asking the council to reconsider Alternative 3, which would expand parking north of the railroad tracks into the existing Community Garden property and relocate the garden south of the tracks. Alan Koch, a longtime critic of developing the city’s downtown public parking property, said his immediate concern is the effect of the proposed new parking lot on the Beach Neighborhood. “At this stage, the parking is the greater community need that has to be addressed,” Koch told Coastal View News. He questioned whether the city’s shared-parking analysis adequately accounts for peak summer demand, rooftop events and parking spaces designated for electric vehicles. He also raised concerns about directing public parking traffic onto narrow residential streets south of the railroad tracks. Koch said he helped other residents understand the appeal process, but that the appeals were prepared independently. Despite his past opposition to development on the property, Koch said he is

CITY OF CARPINTERIA

Parking plan at center of Surfliner Inn appeals: The Planning Commission-approved Alternative 5 plan for the proposed Surfliner Inn includes a new 95-space public Parking Lot #4 south of the railroad tracks, with vehicles entering from Linden Avenue and exiting onto Elm Avenue toward Dorrance Way. Several of the four appeals filed against the Oct. 5 approval challenge the parking configuration, citing neighborhood traffic, pedestrian safety and emergency access concerns. The City Council is tentatively scheduled to hear the appeals Nov. 30.

“A community garden is a substantially more compatible neighbor for residential properties than a parking lot.”

not seeking to stop the hotel. “We have no appeal to stop the hotel and can see the benefits of a hotel for downtown economic vitality,” he said. Stephen and Mary Eileen Marcussen, who filed a separate appeal, also support Alternative 3, citing concerns about pedestrian safety and emergency access. The Marcussens said streets in the Beach Neighborhood have incomplete sidewalks and limited lighting, creating potential conflicts among pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles. “The city has a responsibility to protect its existing neighborhoods, not simply accommodate new development at their expense,” they wrote. They acknowledged that relocating the Community Garden would affect its current users but argued that keeping downtown parking north of the railroad tracks would be safer and more appropriate. “A community garden is a substantially more compatible neighbor for residential properties than a parking lot,” they wrote. Like the Kochs, the Marcussens said they would support the hotel if the parking configuration were changed.

Broad environmental challenge

The most extensive appeal, filed by Kirk Connally and Marla Daily through Tellus Law Group, challenges both the certification of the EIR and the project’s approval, citing 19 grounds for reconsideration. In written responses to Coastal View News, their attorneys identified three principal concerns: railroad crossing safety, the possibility of future parking lot expansion and potential infrastructure and environmental cleanup costs that could fall on taxpayers. The attorneys contend that the California Public Utilities Commission raised concerns about the Linden Avenue rail-

road crossing during the environmental review process, including in correspondence dated March 4, 2026. They argue that the city failed to adequately address those concerns, conduct a requested peak-season traffic queuing analysis or adopt sufficient railroad crossing mitigation. The attorneys also point to a discussion at the Sept. 21 Planning Commission hearing about potentially extending Parking Lot #4 westward toward Holly Avenue. They contend that such an expansion was

“Directing all vehicles from a 95-vehicle capacity parking lot onto a narrow little cul-desac in the heart of Carpinteria’s prime Beach Neighborhood fails to make sense on every level.”

–– Kirk Connally and Marla Daily

reasonably foreseeable and should have been considered in the environmental review. No such expansion was approved as part of the current project. The city’s September Planning Commission staff report acknowledges the CPUC’s concerns but states that an updated traffic and parking study, completed June 12, found that neither the original project nor Alternative 5 would cause

vehicle queues to extend onto the railroad crossing. According to the report, CPUC staff subsequently indicated that Alternative 5’s revised driveway configuration better addressed concerns about traffic near the crossing. Their appeal additionally questions whether the environmental review adequately addresses potential contamination associated with past industrial uses, stormwater management and pedestrian safety improvements and who would bear the costs of any necessary work. “Directing all vehicles from a 95-vehicle capacity parking lot onto a narrow little cul-de-sac in the heart of Carpinteria’s prime Beach Neighborhood fails to make sense on every level,” the attorneys wrote. They argue that Alternative 3 would eliminate many of the traffic and railroad crossing concerns associated with Alternative 5 while preserving the open-space character of the area south of the tracks. Despite the scope of their legal challenge, Connally and Daily do not oppose a boutique hotel on the site in principle, according to their attorneys. Instead, they are asking the City Council to reconsider the environmental review and select Alternative 3, which they believe would allow the project to move forward with fewer impacts.

Neighbors oppose hotel and parking lot

A fourth appeal, filed jointly by Rosa Markolf, Susan Bredhoff and Terry Scrivner, raises concerns about the proposed parking lot’s effects on the Beach Neighborhood, as well as the hotel’s size, rooftop activities and potential noise. Markolf, who has lived in the neighborhood for 33 years, said her home is less than a block from the proposed Elm Avenue parking lot exit. She described Dorrance Way as a narrow street without sidewalks or bike lanes, where pedestrians often share the roadway with vehicles. She also questioned whether emergency vehicles could navigate the area easily and whether the parking lot would worsen existing drainage problems. Markolf expressed particular concern about nighttime vehicle noise and the hotel’s rooftop bar, questioning whether monitoring the first three qualifying special events would be sufficient to protect nearby residents.

Coastal View News • Tel: (805) 684-4428 “I felt I had no choice but to appeal a decision that would seriously affect the livability of the beach community, and my remaining years of retirement that I had planned to have here,” she wrote. Unlike several other appellants, Markolf opposes the hotel itself. “I am not in favor of this hotel in any form,” she wrote. Bredhoff also opposes the development, describing the hotel as too large for the site and expressing concern that it would obstruct mountain views and introduce additional noise into the surrounding neighborhood. “It is not necessary to fill every space with buildings,” she wrote. Although Bredhoff acknowledged the potential revenue the hotel could generate, she questioned whether the financial benefits justify the effects on the community. She also criticized the wording of the unsuccessful 2022 Measure T ballot measure and called for another public vote on the hotel. Scrivner, whose family moved to Carpinteria in 1948, focused on the proposed parking lot’s effects on neighborhood traffic, noise, lighting and emergency evacuation. She questioned whether a large public parking lot belongs on residential streets south of the railroad tracks, where traffic can already back up at the Linden Avenue crossing. “Please help keep our small beach town be safe,” she wrote. “Locate a parking lot on the north side of the tracks.”

Developer stands by approval

The Surfliner Inn development team defended the project in a statement to Coastal View News, pointing to the Planning Commission’s unanimous certification of the EIR and its subsequent approval of the development. “We refer you to the unanimously adopted EIR and Carpinteria Planning Commission hearing of Oct. 5 for copious objective analysis and reasoned approval of The Surfliner Inn project,” the developers stated. “The record stands for itself and clearly supports the compatibility of this boutique inn on Linden Avenue.” “We are proud of this project, have worked hard to respond to community input, including on parking, and look

forward to final approval,” the statement said. The developers also cited previous Architectural Review Board consideration, city staff recommendations and the 2022 Measure T election. Measure T, which would have restricted development of the city-owned parking property, was narrowly defeated by voters. The development team did not directly respond to the specific allegations raised in the four appeals, instead referring to the existing environmental review and Planning Commission record.

City Council to reconsider project

Fogg said city staff is reviewing the issues raised in all four appeals and preparing information for the council’s consideration. “Many of these issues were considered during the Planning Commission’s review of the project and are addressed in the existing project record, including the Environmental Impact Report, technical studies, staff reports and findings,” Fogg said. She emphasized that the City Council’s review will not be limited to the specific grounds raised by the appellants. “The council would independently evaluate the project, the environmental review, the appeals and the information presented at the hearing before making its own decision,” she said. The Nov. 30 hearing date remains tentative. Until the City Council acts on the appeals, the Planning Commission’s approval of the Surfliner Inn remains pending.

City reviewing request for Mayer to recuse from Surfliner Inn appeals A Carpinteria resident has asked City Council member Julia Mayer to recuse herself from the upcoming Surfliner Inn appeal hearing, citing statements she made in support of the hotel project before taking office. Nathan Pratt emailed members of the Carpinteria City Council on Oct. 14, pointing to comments Mayer made during a public meeting before she took office in which she described the proposed hotel as a beautiful project and expressed support for its potential benefits to local businesses. Pratt argued that the statements raise concerns about impartiality and cited the earlier recusal of Planning Commissioner Alexandra VanAntwerp during the project’s review. Mayer, responding to Coastal View News, said she made the statements several years before considering public office. “I take my role as a council member seriously, and my community knows me to be approachable and willing to consider all sides,” Mayer said. “I

remain open minded about every issue that comes before the council and will discuss any concerns with the city attorney.” City Manager Michael Ramirez confirmed that the city is aware of Pratt’s request and that Mayer, city staff and the city attorney are evaluating the matter. “A determination on Council member Mayer’s participation will be made at the Nov. 30 hearing,” Ramirez said. Ramirez explained that a council member ’s previous support for or opposition to a project does not automatically require recusal from a quasi-judicial proceeding. He said case law generally considers whether the full circumstances indicate a probability of actual bias. The City Council is tentatively scheduled to hear four appeals of the Planning Commission’s Oct. 5 approval of the proposed 36-room Surfliner Inn on Nov. 30. –– Michael VanStry

City should invest in infrastructure first

It seems like we need a deep dive into the expenditures of the city. I don’t want to appear as the Grinch; however, as indicated in Coastal View News, Vol. 33, No. 5, the city has just awarded $100,500 to local nonprofits. I, and others I have spoken to, want to select our own charities to support, and not have it done with our tax dollars. On the city’s website, the following appears: “Government shall make judicious use of the city’s limited resources to provide the highest possible quality of life for all of Carpinteria’s residents. The city budget shall reflect the goals and priorities of the majority of the city residents.” In the city manager’s budget letter, it states: “This year’s budget reflects the city’s sustained focus on fiscal responsibility and community-centered priorities. The budget prioritizes essential services… and invests in infrastructure improvements that reflect community needs.” The city’s response to our failing roads has been that there are no large grants available for that work. The city should not depend on grants when their budget supposedly provides for an “investment in infrastructure.” However, it appears the city can continue to make monetary grants to others.

VanAntwerp cares about Carpinteria

I wholeheartedly endorse Xy VanAntwerp to represent District 5. Carpinteria is going through some hard times, budget problems, lawsuits, lack of affordable housing, threats to our bluffs and many proposed new unwanted developments. To deal with all these issues, we need council members who have major integrity, experience, intelligence and the courage of their convictions. We need council members who care about all Carpinterians and the quality of our lives. I believe that Xy has all these qualities and more and that she will be a major asset on our City Council.

strategies for financial solvency by analyzing all sides of a project/position/ program and has the courage to suggest effective approaches that will strengthen our financial future and maintain what we love most about Carpinteria — small, friendly and sustainable. Let’s choose a leader who is a critical and independent thinker with strong priorities for our city’s future: maintaining our small-town character, restoring public trust in local government, addressing budget issues while maintaining essential services, along with prioritizing road maintenance, planning for future parking while applying our municipal codes, California Coastal Act and the General Plan to all development decisions. I know that Xy will be the strong leader that District 5 and our city desperately needs. Vote for Alexandra “Xy” VanAntwerp.

Re-elect Monica Solorzano

I have worked alongside Monica Solorzano these past two years on City Council, and I truly appreciate how she shows up. She is always prepared, asks good and hard questions, takes the time to understand the issues at hand, listens to different perspectives. This hard work means that the decisions she makes have taken into account the long-term impacts and the future of Carpinteria. Her commitment to our town and our future is clear in both her work and how she shows up. Even when we disagree, our discussions are more productive! Monica has challenged me to think carefully and consider all perspectives. Ultimately, we are all here on City Council because we believe in and are committed to Carpinteria. The way Monica cares for our community makes me proud to work alongside her. Carpinteria faces many big decisions in the coming years about issues that will impact all of us. We need leadership that shows up, does the homework and stays engaged in the process. Monica has shown me that she is up for the job. I hope that you will join me in supporting Monica Solorzano for reelection.

Support for VanAntwerp

Ms. Van Antwerp is a strategic thinker. She is always 10 steps ahead of the rest of us, seeing the implications far down the line of decisions made today. She has honed this skill as both the owner of her own technology consulting firm and working with other firms. She’s had years of experience with overseeing multimillion dollar projects from inception to completion, meeting a payroll and working within the constraints of a fixed budget. The proof of the pudding is her legions of satisfied and returning clients. A member of a family who’s been in

Editor’s note: Final week for election letters

As a reminder to readers, this is the final week Coastal View News will publish letters endorsing candidates or expressing opinions on state, county and local ballot measures ahead of the Nov. 3 election. In accordance with CVN’s previously published 2026 Political News Guidelines, such letters will not appear after the Oct. 22 edition to avoid last-minute electioneering and allow readers time to consider the issues before voting.

Carpinteria for generations, her knowledge of our town is deep. In short, Ms. Van Antwerp, better known as Xy, would be a great addition to our Carpinteria City Council.

to admit a family — so easy to avoid the apparently criminal offense of being undocumented. They weren’t fleeing a disaster caused by our greed. Now people flee violence and chaos we caused, only to be persecuted on arrival. Question 3: Why are you here? When I was a little kid, 20 years after WWII, we learned in school that fascism was bad. We were never going to let that happen again. And yet, here we are. So I’m here to remind people to vote while we still can.

Vote while we still can Memories of old Carp

Our very own filmmaker, Larry Nimmer, was out interviewing folks at the No Kings event last Saturday. He asked some important questions. Honestly, I always feel like a deer in the headlights when someone pins a mic on me for an impromptu interview. If only I could have had 24 hours to get the words out… Question 1: Do you personally know immigrants? Tell me something about that. I’ve always felt closer to immigrant friends, especially refugees. They have their priorities straight and are the first to give and the last to take, on account of having been through hell to get here. I’ve referenced this before, but I have to again: A study of the entire state of Texas (more than 27 million people), over seven years by the University of Wisconsin (look it up) found undocumented immigrants committed less crime (two to four times less) than documented immigrants or citizens. They’re the best of the best. Question 2: Tell me about the immigrants in your family. The last one came in 1912. Back then it took hours, not years, for immigration

We were going to send a halo, but we decided to send love instead to those who came for our brothers Peter and Jorge Tejeda’s event on Oct. 17. Our brothers passed away two months apart. They were Carpinteria Warriors through and through! Peter graduated in 1969; Jorge in 1981. Even though they have been away from Carp for many, many years, when the town found out about their passing, we had at least 150 attend their celebrations of life! We had family, classmates and friends from Carpinteria as well as from all over. These people grew up in the days when Carp was a simpler place. When cruising Linden and Carpinteria avenues on Friday nights, eating at Foster’s Freeze, Tony’s Pizza, A&W Root Beer, the Spot and, of course, The Palms, was the thing to do. We know that times change and it is inevitable that change is going to happen, but for one Saturday afternoon, old Carp was back! Love and thanks to all! Warrior spirit never dies!

SCHOOL BOARD Public raises concerns with district veriﬁcation system, teacher stipends and longevity policy

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

8  Thursday, October 22, 2026

BY TRACY MARCYNZSYN

The Carpinteria Unified School District (CUSD) Board of Trustees heard concerns regarding the district’s new address verification process, teacher compensation, transportation and the district’s longevity policy, among other issues, at its Oct. 13 board meeting. During public comments for items not on the agenda, district parent Ashley Smith Fraser expressed concerns with CUSD’s new residency verification process and asked the board to place the topic as a future agenda item to be discussed and publicly reviewed, as its practice differs from current district policy. Fraser said CUSD’s newly adopted practice of using the Thomas Reuters CLEAR system to verify students live within school district boundaries “doesn’t follow the district’s policy; AR-511.1 says families provide proof of residency and then further investigation happens only when an employee has specific facts the proof is false.”

Fraser continued, “The superintendent’s report this month confirmed that every district family was run through Thomas Reuters CLEAR. That turns the policy upside down; families are treated as suspects first and prove themselves second.” She asked the board to address any changes in the policy publicly and weigh the potential benefits and risks of the new system. Fraser said using the Thomas Reuters CLEAR database puts vulnerable families and immigrants at risk and incites fear of the school district and that families affected by the new policy have not been fully informed of their rights. “Whether or not you’ve been directly involved, this reputation belongs to all of you, and I’m challenging you to correct it. Place this policy on a future agenda, update it publicly and hold this process to the standard our community expects: Every family treated with respect and dignity,” Fraser told the board. Also during public comment for items not on the agenda, teachers Sami Surges and Sarah Strong spoke on behalf of fifthgrade teachers at Canalino Elementary School and asked the board to reconsider providing a $250 per night stipend and a dedicated planning workday for teachers supervising an overnight field to Catalina Island. Citing the increased workload required for teachers planning, coordinating and supervising overnight field trips, time away from family and added responsibilities, Surges said the “stipend recognizes the additional responsibility of overnight supervision, while the planning day acknowledges the substantial preparation required to make these experiences successful.” Strong further appealed to the board to approve their request, pointing to what she called “an inconsistency in bargaining,” regarding the district’s willingness to compensate outsourcing bargaining work to a paid attorney that could be done in-house, while asking teachers to take on hours of additional work without compensation. “If the district is willing to pay for professional services, why is it unwilling to compensate teachers for the additional work they already do for students?” Strong asked the board. “We should not be expected to donate our time and labor, while the district pays others to do work it could handle internally. The superintendent has said teachers should be paid extra for the work they do; we are asking the district to put that principle into practice by including the $250 per

night overnight ﬁeld trip stipend and a dedicated planning day. We are asking for our hard work to be valued.” The board also heard from Carpinteria High School (CHS) engineering teacher Kurt Miller, who asked the board to change the language in its longevity policy, Article 6.6. Also representing CHS science teacher Mandy DeWitt, who along with Miller emailed board members and Superintendent Diana Rigby about their concerns with the district’s longevity policy, Miller said CUSD’s current policy forces at least ﬁve CHS teachers to “face multiyear pay freezes.” According to Miller, due to the language in CUSD’s longevity policy requiring teachers to earn longevity steps exclusively within the district, the policy “creates an unintended pay freeze for experienced teachers who transfer in from

outside the district,” and affects teacher recruitment, retention and equity across the CUSD. “Offering a salary schedule that caps their long-term growth makes our district far less competitive,” Miller told the board. He also offered a resolution to the issue: “Remove the phrase ‘longevity in CUSD’ from the contract language,” Miller said, urging the board to implement what he called a “clean, equitable fix.” Jay Hotchner, president of the Carpinteria Association of United School Employees (CAUSE), commented about board members’ attendance records, noting that February 2026 was the last time all board members were present for a board meeting. Hotchner also raised objection to CUSD’s proposal regarding updates to compensation and benefits of district employees, faculty and support staff.

Most CHS seniors qualify for CSU early admissions Students participating in the California State University (CSU) Early Admissions Program will be notified this month about their eligibility to attend one of the 17 participating CSU campuses next fall, CHS Principal Gerardo Cornejo told the board during a presentation at the Oct. 13 Carpinteria Unified School District Board of Trustees meeting. About 77% (103) of the 134 seniors in CHS’s class of 2027 are participating in CSU’s Early Admissions Program, Cornejo said, noting students can still apply to the program. Cornejo said 86% (89) of the students are in Category 1, qualifying for direct entry/eligible, and 14% (14 students) are in Category 2, eligible with conditional/ support. “The guessing game is no longer there,” said Cornejo, adding that once students receive notification of the acceptance, they will just need to apply to the individual campus of their choice, but they know they have a spot, he said. Students can choose from 17 of the 22 CSU campuses, including CSU Channel Islands, Chico State, Cal Poly Humboldt and CSU Northridge, and they can still apply to the nine impacted campuses if they choose. Cornejo said the students’ achievement is “A true reflection of what has occurred in this district from TK all the way through high school. The seed was planted many years ago for the students to be successful.” Cornejo told the board that students will take a field trip to a selected CSU campus before Nov. 30. Human Resources Director Jaqueline Lopez also presented the 2026-27 Staffing Update at the CUSD Board of Trustees Oct. 13 meeting. Both presentations are available at CUSD.net/Board.

Carpinteria volunteers join countywide emergency response drill after seven-year hiatus BY CVN STAFF

Seven Carpinteria Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) volunteers joined emergency preparedness teams from across Santa Barbara County over the weekend for the first countywide CERT drill since 2019. Local volunteers Brandon Le, Ethan Le, Lea Hines, Daphne James, Bob Strojek, Dale Olivas and Anthony Rodriguez participated in the exercise, held at Santa Barbara High School. The Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District was also among the participating agencies. The drill brought together 41 registered CERT members, 14 planning team members, 12 volunteer disaster survivors, five fire personnel and one evaluator to practice emergency response skills and strengthen coordination among participating agencies. For communities like Carpinteria, where earthquakes, wildfires, flooding and potential highway closures can complicate emergency response, CERT training helps prepare residents to assist their neighbors when disaster strikes. Participants represented the cities of Carpinteria, Buellton, Goleta, Lompoc, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Solvang, along with Allan Hancock College, UC Santa Barbara, the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District, Santa Barbara City Fire Department and Santa Barbara County Fire Department.

The return of the countywide drill after a seven-year hiatus provided an opportunity for volunteers and emergency personnel to sharpen their skills and strengthen regional partnerships in preparation for disasters and other emergencies. The CERT program trains community volunteers in disaster preparedness and basic emergency response skills, helping residents assist their neighbors when professional emergency responders may be overwhelmed or delayed. United Way sponsored lunch for participants, the Fire Services Training Institute provided drill supplies and Santa Barbara High School made its campus available for the exercise.

COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PENDING ACTION BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO: (1) WAIVE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON A COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT THAT MAY BE APPEALED TO THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION AND (2) APPROVE, CONDITIONALLY APPROVE, OR DENY THE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT This may affect your property. Please read. Notice is hereby given that an application for the project described below has been submitted to the Santa Barbara County Planning and Development Department. This project requires the approval and issuance of a Coastal Development Permit by the Planning and Development Department. The development requested by this application is subject to appeal to the California Coastal Commission following final action by Santa Barbara County and therefore a public hearing on the application is normally required prior to any action to approve, conditionally approve or deny the application. However, in compliance with California Coastal Act Section 30624.9, the Director has determined that this project qualifies as minor development and therefore intends to waive the public hearing requirement unless a written request for such hearing is submitted by an interested party to the Planning and Development Department within the 15 working days following the Date of Notice listed below. All requests for a hearing must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, to Kathleen Volpi at Planning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 93101‑2058, by email at volpik@countyofsb.org, or by fax at (805) 568‑2030. If a public hearing is requested, notice of such a hearing will be provided. WARNING: Failure by a person to request a public hearing may result in the loss of the person’s ability to appeal any action taken by Santa Barbara County on this Coastal Development Permit to the County Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors and ultimately the California Coastal Commission. If a request for public hearing is not received by 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, then the Planning and Development Department will act to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request for a Coastal Development Permit. At this time it is not known when this action may occur; however, this may be the only notice you receive for this project. To receive additional information regarding this project, including the date the Coastal Development Permit is approved, and/or to view the application and plans, or to provide comments on the project, please contact Kathleen Volpi at Planning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 93101‑2058, or by email at volpik@countyofsb.org, or by phone at (805) 568‑2033.

APPEALS: The decision of the Director of the Planning and Development Department to approve, conditionally approve, or deny this Coastal Development Permit 25CDH‑00007 may be appealed to the County Planning Commission by the applicant or an aggrieved person. The appeal must be filed within the 10 calendar days following the date that the Director takes action on this Coastal Development Permit. To qualify as an “aggrieved person” the appellant must have, in person or through a representative, informed the Planning and Development Department by appropriate means prior to the decision on the Coastal Development Permit of the nature of their concerns, or, for good cause, was unable to do so. Appeals must be filed with the Planning and Development Department online at https://aca‑prod.accela.com/sbco/ Default.aspx, by 5:00 p.m. within the timeframe identified above. In the event that the last day for filing an appeal falls on a non‑business day of the County, the appeal may be timely filed on the next business day.

DUNCAN’S REEL DEAL M AT T D U N C A N It used to be that just about every animated movie involved — and typically revolved around — a romantic relationship. It’s like the only human connection worth drawing up was the lovey dovey stuff with princes and princesses and all that. That’s not the case so much nowadays, which is nice. Not every buddy- or sibling-love movie in recent years has been equally compelling (it’s almost as if we forgot how we love people other than partners unless there’s some hint that they might become partners). Still, it’s nice to expand our repertoire of love — to imagine the possibilities, not of time or space or technology or social progress, but of how we appreciate each other’s value. “Forgotten Island” is about two buddies from the Philippines: Jo (H.E.R.) and Raissa (Liza Soberano). Joe is a headstrong troublemaker who breaks rules, talks back, wrecks things … and dances and laughs and runs and plays exactly how she sees fit. She does what she likes and doesn’t care who likes it. Raissa is shy and reserved but also, partly because of Jo, confident and fun loving. She’s both the brains of the operation and the guard rails. Jo and Raissa meet one day at school when they’re both sent to the principal’s office for yapping about a Philippine legend centering on the forgotten island of Nakali. It involves a whole lot of mystery and fun but also things like a scary demon named Manananggal with fangs and wings who can split herself in two and attack with an upper- and lower-body tag team. Jo and Raissa tell the story with glee, but it doesn’t always go over very well. Hence, the principal’s office. True to her rapscallion nature, and excited by meeting a new friend, Jo decides to ditch the principal and take Raissa along, leaving a simple “BRB” note. Lots more “BRB” notes show up over the years. Jo and Raissa are in constant flight — from everything but each other. They grow closer and closer, cataloging their memories with a series of charms they wear on their friendship bracelets. Always looking for an adventure, they even hope to find the forgotten island of Nakali together one day. But then they grow up. Instead of taking on Manananggal, they settle for battling obnoxious teenage boys and fed-up part-time employers. It may not be quite as otherworldly as they had planned, but their bond keeps it every bit as magical. That bond begins to fray, though, when their paths start to diverge. Raissa’s smarts (and her parents’ urging) propel her toward Caltech in the U.S., while Jo’s lack of ambition (and unruliness) keep her local. Just when it looks like the world is going to split them up, the universe opens up a portal to a new adventure. Literally. Mid-fight they find a magical sand dollar that reveals a wormhole to

— you guessed it — the forgotten island of Nakali. They shoot to this absolutely magical new place full of wonder and awe and excitement, and they spend the entire first night … well, they can’t remember. They wake up 12 hours later on a beach like they just went on a massive bender. They have matching tattoos, all sorts of weird wardrobe alterations and no clue what happened. Their memories are gone. Raissa has a flight to catch — to the U.S. and her bright new future — so they have to find their way back. But, first, they have to figure out what happened, who they offended and how they even get off a magical forgotten island. The test of a buddy movie, in my opinion, is in how well it highlights the meaningfulness of human relationships, how it brings to life the real moments — the stuff that makes us remember why, with some people, it’s ride or die. It doesn’t have to be complex or deep — often the best moments in the best buddy movies are utterly simple. But it’s got to be real. Sometimes movies get lost in abstractions, tropes, paint-by-numbers depictions of dramas that seem daubed on by people who have never had genuine relationships, never felt genuine feelings and don’t know what it’s like to be human. “Forgotten Island” wanders into this territory from time to time. But it also stumbles upon the real stuff now and again. Like when Raissa learns that right before a sleepover with Jo years ago Jo had just learned her dad wasn’t coming back ever again, wasn’t going to start the life with her he had promised and her tearful but wise grandma told a tearful and uncertain Jo, it’s okay, friends can be family too. Raissa didn’t know it at the time, but she was there for Jo. Much of “Forgotten Island” is an ultra-fast paced action-adventure full of bright colors, shimmering animation and radiant music. It’s undeniably fun, even if it does cave to cliché here and there. But, for me, the test, which it passes, is about how it slows down just enough, just for a moment or two, to sit and breathe with the real stuff. “Forgotten Island” is rated PG for animated sequences of scary action, language, rude humor, thematic elements, some violence and brief tobacco imagery. Matt Duncan, a former Coastal View News editor, has taken physical but not emotional leave from Carpinteria to be a philosophy professor at Rhode Island College. In his free time from philosophizing, Duncan enjoys chasing his kids around, watching movies and updating his movie review blog, duncansreeldeal.blogspot.com.

THROWBACK

When Hickey Bros. helped build downtown Carpinteria

Long before Linden Square was envisioned, the 700 block of Linden Avenue was helping shape the heart of downtown Carpinteria. In 1912, Floyd Wesley and Glen Hickey arrived in Carpinteria, purchased property in the 700 block and began building a general merchandise store. Their business, Hickey Bros. Co., is pictured here in an early photograph. The brothers’ arrival coincided with a period of remarkable growth in our small coastal town. Across the street, The Palms Hotel opened that same year, and by 1915, the block had welcomed a drugstore, butcher shop and the town’s post oﬃce. These details were recorded by Albertina Rodriguez in her “Memorias de Tina” column, published in The Carpinteria Herald on March 6, 1969. “I believe the greatest changes took place in the town of Carpinteria between 1911 and 1920,” Rodriguez wrote. “It was during these years that the center of town developed in the 600 and 700 blocks of Linden Avenue.” The Hickey brothers’ general store was part of that transformation, serving a growing community at a time when Linden Avenue was establishing itself as Carpinteria’s commercial center. More than 110 years later, the same block has entered another chapter with

the Linden Square development and The Palms restoration project, connecting downtown Carpinteria’s newest projects to a commercial and tourism history that stretches back to the town’s earliest years.

Carpinteria struggles against high-scoring Grace The Warriors celebrated Homecoming night, but lost the game in a 40-0 shutout

BY RYAN P. CRUZ Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium was alive with Warrior Spirit for the 2026 Homecoming game against Grace on Friday, Oct. 16. The Warriors had just come off their first win of the year the previous week, but on Homecoming night against Grace, Carpinteria had a tough time holding back the Lancers’ high-powered offense and Grace pulled away for a 40-0 shutout. Carpinteria’s offense showed promise in the first possession of the game. The Warriors drove into Grace territory, but the drive stalled at the 29-yard line and Carpinteria gave the ball over to the Lancers. On the next play, the Grace quarterback Riley Williams found receiver Landon Lasecla wide open down the left sideline for a 71-yard touchdown pass to give the Lancers a one-score lead. After stopping another Warriors drive, Grace got the ball back and Williams marched the Lancers 75 yards down the field, with a big chunk coming from a 50-yard scramble. Grace scored its second touchdown of the first quarter when Williams threw a jump ball to Donovan Merrill to extend the lead to 14-0. The Warriors had a mishap on the ensuing kickoff, fumbling the ball and giving Grace the ball in Carpinteria territory. The Lancers capitalized with another long pass from Williams to Owen Oneal for a 46-yard touchdown. Carpinteria’s bad luck with turnovers continued on the next possession, when the Lancers took the ball back on an interception that placed them in prime scoring possession. Grace scored on a 9-yard run to bring the score to 27-0, with time still left in the first quarter. Before the end of the quarter, Grace got the ball back and scored once more, this time on a 60-yard pass from Williams to

Heading into the second quarter, Grace held onto a 33-0 lead. “What could go wrong, did go wrong in the first quarter,” said Carpinteria coach Van Latham. “We had two blown coverages for touchdowns, and two other scoring drives set up by an interception and a fumble. We couldn’t get anything going offensively to help our defense either.” Carpinteria tried to get momentum going in the second quarter, with the defense holding Grace in check the entire period. The Warriors couldn’t put any

points on the board, however, and the teams went into halftime with the score still at 33-0. After the Homecoming halftime ceremony — during which Warriors senior quarterback Isaac Neri was named as Homecoming King — the Warriors were looking to slow down Grace’s fast-paced offense. But in the third quarter, Grace’s quarterback added one more score, throwing his fifth touchdown of the night, finding Martinez again on a 30-yard pass to extend the lead to 40-0. The rest of the game was scoreless, as

the Warriors struggled to get the offense going and Grace ran out the remainder of the clock. “It was a disappointing result,” Latham said. “Grace is a very good team. Unfortunately, we made some mistakes that good teams take advantage of. After the first quarter, it felt like we were swimming upstream.” Carpinteria will have one more home game on the schedule with a matchup on Friday against Del Sol. Last season, the Warriors defeated Del Sol in a high-scoring game, 62-33.

and securing the victory in the fourth set with a 25-15 win. Senior Cora Nimmons led the team with 17 kills while Harper Rowbottom contributed with some clutch kills of her own. The Warriors setters Leona McClellan and Evelyn Aviles helped keep the team in control, as Carpinteria finished with a combined 90 digs as a team. “(It’s) an emotional and proud win for the Warriors’ last regular season game,” said Carpinteria coach Evan Rowbottom. “Now onto the CIF playoffs.” Carpinteria will play in the first round of the CIF Division 9 playoffs against Santa Rosa Academy this week. With a win, the Warriors would move on to face either Nogales or Carter in the second round over the weekend.

Carpinteria girls tennis remains undefeated

Carpinteria girls tennis won another league match, extending the Warriors’ record against Citrus Coast League opponents to 7-0 after a 14-4 win against Santa Paula on Oct. 15. The Warriors were on the road at Santa Paula, where the teams played through heat and winds that gave the ball an extra sideways arc for the duration of the match. Carpinteria’s players adjusted well to the conditions, with the Warriors finding success in both doubles and singles play. In doubles, the pairing of Emily Banks and Aubrey Alcaraz pulled away with a 3-0 sweep, as did the duo of Nathalie Hernandez and Ariana Cruz. Caroline Cooney led the way in singles play, winning all three sets without dropping a single game. “Not dropping a game in that wind was a huge accomplishment,” Carpinteria coach Charles Bryant said. “It meant you had to stay in the present and focus on each and every shot. Caroline did just that plus was aggressive enough to keep her opponents on their back feet.” Cailyn Gillen and Yoselyn Aguirre also added wins after adjusting to the winds, with Gillen winning two of three sets and Aguirre winning one. With the win, the Warriors now had a six-game win streak, and Carpinteria remained undefeated in league play with just one more league match left this season. On Oct. 20, the Warriors played a final non-league match on the road in Ojai against Thacher. In this match, Thacher took advantage of strong singles play and took the win 13-5, giving the Warriors their first loss since Sept. 28. The Warriors had one bright spot in the game, as the duo of Cooney and Gillen teamed up to turn in yet another 3-0 sweep together. “Unfortunately for us, the Toads proved to be too tough,” Bryant said. “No excuses, as they just beat us handidly in singles to put us in a big hole. Our doubles efforts were better, but again the Toads had the upper hand overall.” With just one more match left, the Carpinteria girls tennis team is now 10-6 overall and 7-0 in league play. The Warriors expect to have a high-ranked seeding in the playoffs and have a chance to secure the league championship next week.

Carpinteria surfers prep for new season

Carpinteria’s high school surf team is hitting the waves in preparation for the upcoming season, as the crowning regional champs are looking to put in another successful run in the Scholastic Surf Series competitions. Photographer David Powdrell caught the surfers honing their skills at their local break as the team gets ready to build on what is already one of the strongest surﬁng programs in the state. Last season, Carpinteria’s surf team ﬁnished the year with a perfect 5-0 record in head-to-head competitions, ending as the top team in the Los Angeles to Santa Barbara Division and earning an invite to compete at the State Championships in Oceanside. Many of the surfers from last year’s team will return this season, and Carpinteria will return to competition with Scholastic Surf Series events in October and November.

Cate Rams roundup

With just one game left in both of their respective seasons, Cate’s boys water polo and girls tennis team are both in prime position to enter the CIF playoffs as league champions. Cate girls tennis advanced to 6-0 in league play with a dominant 17-1 over Thacher in a battle of the boarding schools on Oct. 15. It was the latest installment in a rivalry in which Cate has won every head-to-head match since 2014 despite Thacher claiming two CIF titles in that same period. Cate’s tennis team has been led by singles specialists Elizabeth Jayich, Ivy Huang and Jade Wang, who have all made it to this point in the season without losing against anybody in the league or the CIF southern section. In doubles, Cate has been led by the duo of senior Lisa Hasebe and freshman Kiki Chang, who have also remained unbeaten as a pairing through the entire season. With the win, Cate girls tennis is now 13-0 overall and 6-0 against league opponents. The Rams will have one more match against Laguna Blanca before the playoffs. If Cate wins, it would be Cate’s fourth consecutive undefeated season in the Tri-Valley League. Cate boys water polo has seen similar success, heading into the final match of the year with a perfect 11-0 record against league opponents. The Rams suffered a non-league loss against San Marcos on Oct. 14, though Cate got back on track with dominant wins in its next two matches against league foes Villanova Prep and Foothill Tech. After having 20 goals scored against them by San Marcos, the Rams offense lit up the scoreboard with a 20-1 defeat of Villanova Prep on Oct. 16. On Oct. 20, the Rams had a decisive victory over Foothill Tech, securing a top-ranking in the league standings with a 13-5 win. Cate boys water polo is now in position to claim the league title with a win over Nordhoff in the final game of the regular season.

Warriors celebrate seniors as regular season ends BY RYAN P. CRUZ

Carpinteria boys water polo celebrated the senior members of the team in the final home match of the regular season against Nordhoff on Oct. 14. The Warriors honored seniors John Morrison, Chris Reed, Ryder Shaw, Stefano Piccoletti and Oscar De Leon, and Carpinteria came away with a dominant performance and a 20-8 victory over the visiting Rangers. A pair of seniors got the scoring started on Senior Day, as De Leon and Shaw both scored two goals in the first quarter. Reed scored three goals before halftime, while goalkeeper Piccoletti held Nordhoff to just two goals in the first half as Carpinteria went into the break up 14-2. In the second half, the younger members of the Warriors squad had a chance to shine, as freshman James Melton scored on a quick skip shot and freshman Arlo Nemetz took over in the net and made three blocks to help keep Nordhoff in check. Carpinteria scored five more goals in the fourth, keeping the pressure on and sending the seniors out with a 20-8 win. “We had a pumped-up start and much better energy than the last time we played them,” said Carpinteria coach Russell Russo. “Our Warriors were firing on all

fronts today, and the hard work they’ve put in the middle is paying off. I look forward to seeing how they carry that momentum into the playoffs.” On Oct. 19, the Warriors had a tough matchup on the road at Foothill Tech, in a league game that proved to be a defensive battle with Carpinteria falling just short and taking a two-goal loss, 9-7. In this game, De Leon helped the Warriors with an early goal and five steals to keep the game at 1-1 heading into the second quarter. Reed and Cade McCallister added goals in the second quarter, though Foothill Tech scored three more to head into the half with a slim one-score lead, 4-3. Foothill Tech built its lead in the second half, taking a three-goal advantage before the Warriors battled back with goals from Donahue and freshman Junis Fedders. In the fourth, the Warriors added a goal from Reed but could not close the gap and Foothill Tech came away with a 9-7 win. The next day, the Warriors had a similar low-scoring battle on the road at Malibu. In this game, the teams were scoreless after one quarter before Malibu took a 4-1 lead at halftime. Carpinteria mounted a comeback, with Reed scoring two goals to bring the Warriors striking distance heading into

The Warriors made a late push in the final period, though Malibu held on for a win by a final score of 7-5. Piccoletti was strong in the net for the Warriors, blocking nine shots and adding three steals to keep Carpinteria in the game. “He’s been a rock for us this year and has contributed a lot to our team’s confidence,” Russo said. “We put our cards on the table from the

get-go and knew this would be a tough matchup,” Russo said. “The Warriors keep getting better and more confident in every area, and I can see they’re still ready for more.” Carpinteria finished the regular season with a league record of 7-5, and the Warriors are expected to make the CIF playoffs. Carpinteria will find out its postseason opponent this week.
