Temperatures nearing 100 degrees couldn’t keep avocado enthusiasts away from downtown Carpinteria for the 40th annual California Avocado Festival. Festivalgoers came dressed for the occasion and ﬁlled the streets for three days of contests, vendors, live music, dancing and, of course, plenty of avocado-inspired food. The milestone celebration brought together longtime AvoFest traditions and a new generation of festival fans, proving that even after four decades, Carpinteria still knows how to throw one heck of an avo-party.

Planning Commission approves Surfliner Inn 3-1

EIR certified unanimously; commissioners add conditions addressing events, noise and parking BY MICHAEL VANSTRY After more than three hours of deliberations Monday night, the Carpinteria Planning Commission approved the proposed Surfliner Inn, advancing the controversial 36-room hotel project after adding new conditions addressing rooftop events, noise, parking and impacts on neighboring properties. The commission first voted 4-0 to certify the project’s Final Environmental Impact Report and adopt the required California Environmental Quality Act findings and mitigation monitoring program. It then voted 3-1 to approve the project, selecting Alternative 5 and approving the Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit, Coastal Development Permit and associated approvals. Vice Chair Jane Benefield cast the one dissenting vote on the project approval. Chair John Moyer and Commissioners David Allen and Glenn La Fevers voted in favor. Commissioner Alexandra VanAntwerp, who recused herself from the project at the commission’s Sept. 21 hearing, did not participate. Benefield participated remotely Monday because of a medical circumstance. The decision followed a Sept. 21 hearing that lasted nearly five hours and included extensive public testimony both for and against the hotel. The commission closed the public hearing that night and continued deliberations to Oct. 5. Monday’s meeting was limited to commission deliberation and potential action, with commissioners instructed to base their decision on the existing administrative record. The project, proposed by 499 Linden Managers LLC, calls for a two-story, 36-room hotel at 499 Linden Ave. with a manager’s unit, café, visitor center, rooftop bar, lounge and event space, pool and parking. Alternative 5 also calls for construction of a new public Parking Lot #4 at 399 Linden Ave., with vehicles entering from Linden Avenue and exiting onto Elm Avenue toward Dorrance Way.

Commissioners weigh EIR, project impacts

Moyer opened the deliberations by saying he was comfortable certifying the EIR and making the findings required for the project’s permits. He also supported Alternative 5 over other parking configurations. “I want to approve this project,” Moyer said, adding that he was comfortable with the proposed entrance and exit configuration for Parking Lot #4. Allen then walked through many of the environmental issues raised during the Sept. 21 hearing, including biological resources, aesthetics, noise, transportation and parking. Allen said he believed the EIR adequately addressed biological resources and that mitigation measures for nesting birds and trees were sufficient. He also rejected arguments that the vacant property proposed for Parking Lot #4 functions as a significant wildlife corridor, describing it as an urban infill site used primarily by urban-adapted wildlife. On parking, Allen said the record provided substantial evidence that adequate parking would remain available and that the project would not create a significant transportation impact under CEQA. He acknowledged, however, that parking remains a broader community concern. Allen also said the project’s size and location were compatible with downtown Carpinteria and that the hotel would not substantially degrade protected scenic views. La Fevers similarly supported Alternative 5, saying the revised circulation pat-

COURTESY GRAPHIC

The Carpinteria Planning Commission voted 3-1 Monday to approve the proposed 36-room Surfliner Inn, shown in this rendering, following approximately 3.5 hours of deliberations. Commissioners unanimously certified the project’s Final Environmental Impact Report before approving the hotel with Alternative 5 and amended conditions addressing rooftop events and noise, parking management and impacts on neighboring properties. Vice Chair Jane Benefield cast the lone vote against approving the project.

Under the amended conditions discussed by the commission, rooftop special events would be limited to 24 per calendar year ... Rooftop special events must end by 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Amplified music and live performances are subject to the project’s separate 10 p.m. cutoff. tern was preferable to Alternative 3, which would have relocated the Carpinteria Community Garden and expanded Parking Lot #3 onto the existing garden site. La Fevers said the entrance-only access from Linden Avenue and exit onto Elm Avenue made sense from a circulation standpoint and would improve coastal access, while acknowledging concerns from beach neighborhood residents about additional traffic on Elm Avenue.

Benefield: Findings cannot be made

Benefield reached a different conclusion on the project itself. “I want to be clear about the basis of my decision,” Benefield said. “This is not about personal preference or the level of public support or opposition.” Benefield said that after reviewing the project, staff reports, environmental documents, General Plan and Coastal Plan policies, development standards and public testimony, she did not believe the findings necessary to approve the project could be made. She cited concerns about visual resources, scale and compatibility, public parking and cumulative operational impacts. “This is not simply a 36-room hotel,” Benefield said, pointing to the restaurant, rooftop and event uses, pool, parking operations, lighting, service activity and increased nighttime activity. Benefield said she did not believe the project’s overall scale and intensity were compatible with the surrounding area. She also expressed concern about traffic leaving Parking Lot #4 through Elm Avenue and the combined effects of nighttime activity, lighting, noise, vehicle traffic, loading and trash collection. “For these reasons, I cannot make the findings required for either the Coastal Development Permit or the Conditional

Use Permit or the Development Plan,” she said. Benefield nevertheless joined the other three commissioners in certifying the EIR, distinguishing the adequacy of the environmental document under CEQA from whether she believed the project itself should be approved.

Rooftop events get new limits

A substantial portion of Monday’s deliberations focused on the proposed rooftop and the potential effects of live music and special events on surrounding neighborhoods. Allen, who had raised similar concerns Sept. 21, said his concern was not whether the EIR’s noise analysis met CEQA requirements, but whether bass and other sounds from rooftop events could become a nuisance even while complying with numerical noise limits. Moyer cautioned against overly restricting the rooftop, which he said was intended in part as a public gathering space for Carpinteria residents. Staff and commissioners ultimately developed additional operating conditions during the meeting. Under the amended conditions discussed by the commission, rooftop special events would be limited to 24 per calendar year. A rooftop special event would be defined as an event that closes the rooftop to the general public and has at least 100 attendees, subject to occupancy limits established by the fire marshal. Rooftop special events must end by 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Amplified music and live performances are subject to the project’s separate 10 p.m. cutoff. The first three qualifying rooftop special events will also be monitored by a qualified acoustical consultant, with monitoring accounting for music, bass,

attendee voices and other crowd noise at surrounding locations, including nearby residential areas and the Community Garden. Results are to be submitted to the city’s Community Development Department, with corrective measures implemented if necessary. Those could include reduced volume, changes to speaker orientation, changes in performer or attendee locations, additional event staffing, crowd-management measures or revised rooftop special-event hours.

Wall added along Parking Lot #4

Commissioners also agreed to require a 6-foot-high solid screening wall along the southern boundary of Parking Lot #4 between the parking area and neighboring residential properties. The wall’s final location, design, materials and landscaping will be subject to Architectural Review Board review and is intended to reduce headlights, glare, noise and other effects from the parking lot. The commission also strengthened the project’s adaptive parking management requirements. If monitoring shows recurring parking constraints or that the conjunctive parking program is not performing adequately, the plan will require evaluation of physical measures to improve parking efficiency. Those measures could include restriping, reconfiguring or otherwise optimizing Parking Lots #3 and #4. Revised parking plans would be subject to city review and would have to maintain required accessible and electric-vehicle parking as well as safe vehicle and pedestrian circulation. Commissioners stopped short of requiring additional parking spaces at this time. La Fevers said the environmental analysis supported the amount of parking proposed, while leaving open the possibility of future changes if actual conditions warrant them.

Decision can be appealed

Monday’s approval represents the Planning Commission’s action on the Development Plan, Conditional Use Permit and Coastal Development Permit for the project. Under the city’s procedures, Planning Commission actions may be appealed to the Carpinteria City Council. An appeal must be filed with the city clerk within 10 calendar days of the commission’s action.

Pipeline installation for CAPP to begin Oct. 12

Carpinteria Valley Water District (CVWD) will begin installing part of a purified water conveyance pipeline on Carpinteria Avenue on Monday, Oct. 12, from 8:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. The work is expected to last four nights and conclude by Friday, Oct. 16. The installation on Carpinteria Avenue will extend from Maple Avenue to Eugenia Place. On Oct. 19, work will resume on Carpinteria Avenue during normal business hours to complete paving after the pipeline installation, which is expected to take approximately one to two days. Once the Carpinteria Avenue segment has been completed, work will begin on Eugenia Place during normal business hours. Pipeline installation is part of the Carpinteria Advanced Purification Project (CAPP). Once the CAPP is complete, purified water produced at the new Advanced Water Purification Facility — currently under construction at the existing Carpinteria Sanitary District Wastewater Treatment Plant — will be transported via the new pipeline to injection wells. Those wells will inject purified water into our groundwater basin. From there, it becomes a drought-proof reserve that strengthens Carpinteria’s long-term water reliability. Those looking for construction updates, project maps and answers to frequently asked questions may visit cvwd.net/capp-construction. Questions may be sent to the CVWD at (805) 684-2816 or by email at info@cvwd.net. The CVWD is located at 1301 Santa Ynez Ave. in Carpinteria.

Overnight trafﬁc control expected on Highway 101

Drivers on Highway 101 will encounter overnight traffic control near Summerland beginning Oct. 4 due to a drainage improvement project, which is scheduled to conclude in mid-December.

Amy “Denise” Stribling 08/07/1979 — 09/24/2026

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our daughter, Denise, on Sept. 24, 2026. Born on Aug. 7, 1979, at Goleta Valley Hospital, Denise was the third child of Jim and Rita Stribling. She grew up in Carpinteria, California, where she attended local schools. Denise and her family moved to Solvang at the end of her junior year of high school, and she graduated from Santa Ynez Valley Union High School in 1998. After high school, she worked on local horse ranches and became a veterinary technician. After the birth of her son in 2007, Denise went back to school, became a preschool teacher and worked at Santa Ynez Presbyterian Preschool. She turned her love of children and animals into a career as a nanny and pet and house sitter. Denise had a golden heart and was always rooting for the underdog and helping those in need. She was loving, kind, generous to a fault and a wonderful true friend. She put the needs of others before herself. She was a huge Rams fan; she loved going to their games and tailgating. She enjoyed dining out, camping and traveling, especially going on several cruises with her son. Denise felt that her best and biggest accomplishment was her son, Malaki. She was so proud of him and the young man he has become. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Aleck and Louise Stribling, Rhoma Greer, Jack Greer and Eddie Rodgers. Denise is survived by her son, Malaki Stribling; parents, Jim and Rita Stribling; brothers, Jamie Stribling and Braden (Ashley) Stribling; sister, Rochelle (Bryant) Hicks; nieces, Mackenzie Hicks and Danaca Stribling; and nephews, Tristan Hicks, JD Stribling, Greyson Stribling and Hudson Stribling. In accordance with Denise’s wishes, her ashes will be scattered at sea during a private sailing off the Santa Barbara coast on Oct. 16, 2026. Denise loved flowers and plants. Coming from a flower-growing family, we think it only fitting that you take flowers or a plant to someone you love. We would like to thank the nurses and staff at the VNA Hospice for their kindness, compassion and comfort during this difficult time. Denise will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Arrangements were entrusted to Loper Funeral Chapel.

Annie Coe Toor 01/04/1945 — 07/14/2026

Annie Coe Toor passed away peacefully in Carpinteria, California, on July 14, 2026, after a brief illness. Annie was born in Southport, England on Jan. 4, 1945, to Tom (a mechanical engineer) and Dolly Coe. From the age of 10, Annie dreamed of leaving England’s damp weather for sunshine and adventure in Los Angeles. One story has it that she dreamt of driving a Jaguar while living under the Hollywood sign, an aspiration she successfully realized later in life. Annie spent a few teenage years in London, working as a secretary for University College London’s medical school. In 1965, Annie made her dream move to Los Angeles, initially working in the pharmaceutical industry. She quickly became a top sales representative. In the early 1970s, a chance conversation launched a career move right into the heart of Hollywood’s movie industry. Annie’s first job in Hollywood was as the personal assistant to director Orson Welles while he was filming “The Other Side of the Wind.” Connections made, led to the cowriting of a spec script for the hit television show, “Rhoda,” assisting producer Hunt Stromberg on the Warner Brothers lot, becoming a script reader for the movie “Flashdance” and assisting Adrian Lyne, the film’s director. The friends Annie made during this time lasted throughout her life, with several providing the details for this written celebration. The tragic loss of her fiancé Chris-

topher Thompson ultimately guided Annie toward a final career change. While receiving grief counseling, Annie decided to pursue a career as a licensed psychotherapist. In 1992, Annie opened a private psychotherapy practice in Burbank, near the Warner Brothers lot. Annie’s specialization was providing support to people working within Hollywood’s entertainment industry. Her thriving clinical practice allowed Annie to move her parents, her sister and her nephew to the states. Considered an expert in her field, Annie gave many interviews on the navigation of stress experienced by people working on movies and in television. After Hurricane Katrina, Annie applied her clinical experience by volunteering for the Red Cross, traveling to the Superdome and supporting people traumatized by their sudden and tremendous loss. In 2000, Annie married Bruce A. Toor, a senior litigator and partner in the law firm Gibson, Dunn, and Crutcher. When they moved to the Hollywood Hills, Bruce bought Annie a classic, bright red Jaguar sports car. Together they enjoyed international travel, making regular trips to Catalina Island (a favorite spot), taking Mexican cruises and entertaining friends. Annie Coe Toor led a remarkable, nuanced life. Overcoming tragic loss both early and late in life, Annie remained steadfast in her friendships. She maintained loving lifelong connections and enjoyed breezy shopping, long lunches and a glass of wine with friends. Annie will be fondly remembered for her warm personality, her courageous and caring spirit and her distinctive personal style. Annie was preceded in death by her parents Tom and Dorothy (Dolly) Coe, her fiancé Christopher Thompson, her husband Bruce Alan Toor and her beloved sister Jacquie (Martin). She is survived by her nephew Sean Martin, her Toor stepchildren Lisa (Robinson), Karen (Wathney), Michelle (Paulus), Robin and Robert, her four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, her friend and caregiver Willard Moore and her many friends who miss her dearly. A wake celebrating Annie’s life will be held in Carpinteria. Bless her sweet soul.

ers expected when approving Measure X. The debate comes months after Carpinteria property owners rejected proposed assessments intended to fund the city’s right-of-way landscaping and winter berm programs. The weighted-ballot assessment proposals were rejected in March, leaving the city to determine how those services should be funded. The city now includes subsidies for assessment districts among the approximately $2.4 million in annual subsidies contributing to General Fund pressures.

City points to safeguards

City materials emphasize that Measure I revenue would remain under local control and could not be taken by the state or diverted to other communities. The measure also calls for independent citizen oversight, annual independent ﬁnancial audits, public disclosure of spending and annual reports to the community. Groceries and prescription medications would not be subject to the additional tax. Taxable purchases such as furniture, vehicles, clothing and gasoline would be subject to it, and visitors making taxable purchases in Carpinteria would pay the tax along with residents. Unlike a special tax dedicated to a speciﬁc purpose, Measure I requires only a simple majority to pass. If approved, the tax would continue until ended by voters; there is no automatic expiration date. A “yes” vote approves the quarter-cent increase, while a “no” vote leaves the city’s current sales tax unchanged. The election is Tuesday, Nov. 3.

ASK THE CANDIDATES

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

Balancing housing, growth and Carpinteria’s character

Council candidates weigh housing needs, development concerns and the limits of local control In the third installment of Coastal View News’ four-part “Ask the Candidates” series, candidates for Carpinteria City Council turn their attention to an issue that has generated significant discussion throughout the community: how Carpinteria should accommodate housing while addressing concerns about growth and preserving the character of the city.

Each candidate was given up to 300 words to respond. Their answers appear below. Next week, the four-part series concludes with a question about city finances, spending priorities and revenue. Previous installments of “Ask the Candidates” can be found online at coastalview.com.

Carpinteria faces pressure to provide more housing while residents continue to express concerns about growth, traffic, infrastructure and preserving the community’s character. How should the City Council balance these competing demands, particularly when state housing laws limit local control? DISTRICT 5

Randy Carrasco

I think the key to balancing these demands is thoughtful and intentional growth. Carpinteria has state housing requirements that we are legally required to address, and I feel that we should begin to comply with these demands. We need to recognize the role state housing laws play in local decision making and how they can impact the character of our town. I believe we can begin to address this issue by making effective use of already developed areas, including vacant and underused buildings that could be converted into housing, rather than relying solely on new development or allowing growth to occur without adequate planning. I believe we should make the most of our authority to make sure growth is well-planned and appropriate for community. Housing is a real need in Carpinteria. We should be looking for affordable housing opportunities to assist local families, seniors, teachers, first responders, service workers and others that are everyday contributors to our town so that they can continue to live here rather than being priced out of our community. On the flip side, we also need to be realistic about our city budget. Growth brings costs. We need to consider the price of roads, public safety, parking, utilities and other services. We need to ensure any new development fits appropriately within the infrastructure and services it requires. Unfortunately for us all, Carpinteria is going to grow and evolve. It already has. Our responsibility is to make sure we do it thoughtfully, responsibly and with the people who already live here at the center of those decisions. Our goal should not be uncontrolled growth, but there should also not be complete resistance to all change. It must be a balanced approach, meeting our housing obligations while still protecting the qualities of Carpinteria that we all love.

Alexandra “Xy” VanAntwerp

As Carpinteria adds housing, the council must plan for the roads, utilities and emergency services needed to support it. People need homes they can afford, and residents want to know our infrastructure can handle more growth. Both are reasonable expectations. Our General Plan guides where growth goes and how we prepare for it. I will make sure the General Plan’s housing, circulation and infrastructure policies work together, keep required housing work on schedule and maintain clear, enforceable objective design standards. Where state housing laws limit our choices, we need to use the authority we still have to address building scale, neighborhood fit and infrastructure impacts. Where we put housing matters, too. I will look for suitable sites near jobs, shops and services, where infrastructure can support additional homes and driving is not the only practical option. Working with affordable housing organizations can help us plan projects that meet local needs and fit their surroundings. I will push for an infrastructure plan developed with the county, water and sanitary districts, and emergency service providers. It must spell out needed improvements, costs, who pays and a schedule. I will examine whether development fees cover growth’s fair share and press the responsible agencies for commitments, with public updates on what gets done. For county housing near Carpinteria, I will demand a seat at the table for our city when infrastructure is being planned. Residents’ concerns need to be addressed early. I will also press the county to respect our local plans and design standards. People deserve a say while their input can still influence plans and clear explanations of what state law requires and what the city can decide. I will bring careful preparation and persistent follow-through to meeting our housing needs while keeping Carpinteria small, friendly and sustainable.

DISTRICT 3 Julia Mayer

The state has mandated that Carpinteria plan for and accommodate 901 housing units by 2031. This isn’t a suggestion, but a state housing law that we must adhere to, lest we lose our local control. It is a privilege to live here and raise my family here: but without meaningful growth, housing has become a scarcity afforded only to those who can pay hefty price tags. When we talk about character and quality of life, we can’t only be talking about one segment of our population’s quality of life. Families deserve to live here and send their kids to school close to where their parents work. We all know how incredible and magical Carpinteria is — our

access to the coast, our open space, our beautiful mountains are unrivaled. What makes Carpinteria truly incredible are the people who live here and stay here and volunteer here. I am committed to being brave enough to steward the next iteration of our town into being. In my vision, that future is worth working for and believing in. Carpinteria has always been a diverse socioeconomic community. I think that our seniors deserve dependable, affordable housing, and young families should have opportunities to put down roots here! We can welcome people moving here to retire while ensuring that people who live and work here can also afford to stay. A healthy community makes room for all generations! This can only happen if we as a community all row in the same direction regarding building housing. Without this, we end up pricing people out, or we end up with developments no one wants. I believe that building housing must be connected to economic opportunities. Without high-quality jobs in Carpinteria, we risk creating more housing for people who must commute outside of our city to work.

DISTRICT 1

Mónica Solórzano

Carpinteria can’t build its way out of the housing crisis, yet trying to avoid growth altogether is no longer possible either. State law has significantly narrowed cities’ ability to deny housing projects that meet objective standards. That makes it even more important that we use the local control we do have thoughtfully and strategically. During my first term, we brought Carpinteria’s Housing Element into compliance with state law, rezoned sites to accommodate our state-assigned housing need and adopted objective design standards so that even as our discretion over some projects narrows, Carpinteria still has clear expectations for how new development fits into our community. I also believe we should be strategic about what kind of housing we encourage. I’ve consistently supported affordable and workforce housing, partnerships with organizations like People’s Self-Help Housing and tenant protections that help existing residents stay here. Our goal shouldn’t simply be adding units; it should be creating housing that responds to the needs of the people who live and work in Carpinteria. And I take residents’ concerns about growth seriously. People love Carpinteria because it is a small beach town. Traffic, infrastructure capacity, neighborhood compatibility, open space and community character are legitimate considerations that must be a central part of any discussion about development. State law may narrow our choices, but it doesn’t get to define our vision for Carpinteria. Our job is to use every tool we still have thoughtfully and effectively. Through the General Plan update, we can set clear priorities now — what we want to protect, where we can accommodate change and how we preserve the small-town character that makes Carpinteria worth fighting for.

Aja Forner

Carpinteria is a small town with a big sense of place, and I don’t think protecting it and housing our neighbors are opposing goals. The real choice is whether we plan for growth on our own terms or let the state decide for us. Right now, we’re closer to the second one. The current council has dragged its feet on housing, and now the state is digging in. If we don’t shape what these 901 homes look like, the state will do it for us, and we will lose what makes Carp, Carp. State law limits what the city can say no to, so I’d focus on what we can control: where housing goes, how it’s designed and who it serves. That means directing new homes to places that make sense, close to services and away from our open space, bluffs and agricultural edges, and insisting on designs that fit our scale. I’ll work closely with our county supervisors to find what makes sense for Carpinteria. With every new build, safety comes first. We must make sure there are safe routes out in the event of a fire. The council has a responsibility to its residents, and their safety has to come before everything else. I support community-scaled affordable housing. Homes for teachers, nurses, farmworkers and young families keep our schools, businesses and neighborhoods alive. Our school enrollment has dropped because families can’t afford to live here and because so many homes are second homes. We need to change that! Residents’ concerns about traffic, water and infrastructure are fair, and they deserve real answers before projects move forward, not after. I’ll bring a budget-minded approach so the city can afford the streets, sewers and services that growth requires. Protecting what we love and planning for what we need is how I’ll approach every one of these decisions.

Support for Solórzano

When I think about what we need in a City Council member, I think of Mónica Solórzano. She has earned my vote this election, and I hope she earns yours. Her integrity is evident in every decision she makes. She does her homework: reading the staff reports, asking sharp questions and mastering the details of complicated issues. Her intelligence is matched by her humility, never losing sight of the residents her decisions affect. That is what sets her apart: She listens. Whether at a neighborhood meeting, a community event or the grocery store, she makes time for people, and she follows through. When an issue is difficult or unpopular, she doesn’t duck it. She puts herself on the line for our residents, guided by principle rather than politics. Governing is hard, ongoing work. It happens in the long meetings, the tough votes and the unglamorous details. It is easy to criticize from the sidelines, but the real test is who shows up, week after week, to do the job. Council member Solórzano has been in the thick of it, and our city is better for her commitment. Please join me in re-electing Mónica Solórzano as 1st District Council member.

VanAntwerp has the tools for success

I am a proud supporter of Xy VanAntwerp for District 5. She has put in the time and well knows the history and vision of Carpinteria. We live in paradise and it’s now more fragile than ever with housing requirements and quality-of-life issues on the rise. Only a fraction of the people that want to live here can. We are on an island with the ocean and mountains as our borders. Throw in a train and the 101, and infrastructure for about the population we already have and it will

take strong leadership in the very near future. Xy has the tools, and I hope you consider her for the task.

Steve McMahon Carpinteria

Values and background make for a strong candidate

For Carpinterians in District 5, I wholeheartedly endorse Alexandra “Xy” VanAntwerp for City Council. Her priorities mirror mine: maintaining our unique small-town character, addressing our current budget problems while maintaining essential services, standing her ground when projects don’t ﬁt the neighborhood, being willing to listen and applying our General Plan to ALL development decisions. Over my 36 years living in Carpinteria, I have enjoyed volunteering and have often encountered Xy doing the same. I have had the opportunity to hear her passionately talk about our little town. She values our small beachside community and is also an advocate for

protecting our beaches, salt marsh and bluffs. Xy sees the need to protect these spaces from overdevelopment and has shown herself willing to speak up when residential impacts outweigh public benefits. I feel her background running a tech consulting company, as well as her education in economics, give her a strong foundation to help our city as we navigate our ongoing budget deficit. Alexandra “Xy” is a city leader I trust to lead us through these tough times ahead and I hope to see her as our new District 5 City Council representative.

Lisa Patsch Carpinteria

Solórzano is a leader who continues to show up

about our students and families and worked tirelessly to make our school stronger. What stands out to me most is that she continues to show up. Although her own children have moved on, Mónica still makes time to volunteer and support Aliso Elementary. She gives her time because she genuinely cares about our community. That same commitment is evident in her service on the City Council. Her dedication to Carpinteria isn’t simply about holding public oﬃce; it is something I have watched her demonstrate for years through her willingness to serve, listen and show up. I am proud to have served alongside Mónica and even prouder to call her a friend. Mónica represents the heart and soul of Carpinteria, and her unwavering dedication to our community is the kind of leadership I am proud to support for another term.

Ashley Hernandez Carpinteria

For four years, I had the privilege of serving alongside Mónica Solórzano on the Parents for Aliso board, where she served as president throughout our time together. I saw ﬁrsthand the dedication, thoughtfulness and heart she brought to our school community. She cares deeply

Seeds, pumpkins and mortality

HIGH: 77 LOW: 60

SUNDAY Sunrise: 7:00am • Sunset: 6:28pm

An ounce of shelled pumpkin seeds provides about 8 grams of protein, compared with roughly 6 grams in an ounce of almonds or pistachios.

Sharpen: Pumpkin word game

In this column, we celebrate the power of aging well, with four segments designed to inspire and engage. W for Wellness: tips and insights for maintaining a healthy body and mind. I for Inspiration: real-life tales of individuals 55 and older who are living life to the fullest. S for Sharpen: activities and exercises to keep your brain active and sharp. E for Education: a quick lesson or fun trivia to keep you learning and growing.

How well do you know your pumpkins? Below are nine words. Your challenge is to find three groups of three words that have something in common with each other and connect back to the pumpkin theme. Look closely — some words may try to throw you oﬀ! Can you ﬁnd all three groups? Latte, knife, water, bowl, bread, candle, soil, pie, sun.

Wellness: A seedy character

Educate: The birth of the jack-o’-lantern

Carving pumpkins is one of my favorite October festive activities. There is nothing better than sinking your hand into the ooey-gooey mess hiding in the center of this magical fall squash. Some of us are not as big a fan of these sensory sensations and instinctively want to throw out all of, for lack of a better word, “these precious pumpkin guts.” But before you give in to that urge to get rid of the slime, stop yourself, because there is a healthy treasure hiding in the middle of all that glorious goo. I am talking about the seeds. It was a tradition in my house that we would save the seeds, season them and roast them in the oven. I understood that this was tasty and fun, but I never knew just how nutritious pumpkin seeds could be. First of all, they are a good source of protein. According to EatingWell, pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas when they are hulled, are among the more protein-rich seeds. An ounce of shelled pumpkin seeds provides about 8 grams of protein, compared with roughly 6 grams in an ounce of almonds or pistachios. They have also been linked to better sleep. The Cleveland Clinic explains that pumpkin seeds contain tryptophan, an amino acid that may help you fall asleep and stay asleep. They also contain zinc and magnesium, which can be beneﬁcial for the ever-coveted good night of sleep. So, the next time you reach for the goo hiding in the middle of your pumpkin fun, make sure to save the seeds. Your body will thank you for it.

Inspire: Quote by Seth Adam Smith

“The pumpkin itself is a symbol for mortality. Like mortals, the pumpkin seed is planted in the darkness of the earth, where it is left to search for the light... Then, once the pumpkin has found its place, it blossoms into a fruit that towers above all others.”

There are a couple of versions of how the jack-o’-lantern got its ghostly start. One popular version comes from an Irish folk tale about a man named Stingy Jack. According to the legend, Jack was clever and spent his time tricking the devil. Eventually, the devil caught up with him, and Jack was condemned to roam the earth with only a burning ember to light his way. According to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, around this same time, reality began to blur with fantasy because of a natural phenomenon called ignis fatuus, or “false ﬁre.” These mysterious lights, sometimes called will-o’-thewisps, can occur in wetlands and other areas where gases from decaying plants are present. Such strange lights may have helped “fuel the ﬁre” about spirits wandering through the darkness. Irish and Scottish traditions also involved Samhain. Smithsonian magazine describes this Gaelic festival as marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter. Over time, people in the British Isles carved root vegetables, particularly turnips, and placed candles inside them. Some of the more aesthetically talented partygoers even carved faces in their vegetables and carried them or placed them near homes. Put these traditions and legends together, and you get the story behind today’s jack-o’-lantern.

Holy Guacamole Contest PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON

The 40th annual California Avocado Festival once again included a guacamole contest on the final day of the festivities, and this year’s winner of the Best Guacamole was chef and owner of Corazon Cocina, Ramon Velazquez. The judges for this year’s competition included Mary Beth Carty, George Leis, Tracy Lehr, Alan Parsons and Rori Trovato, (owner of Rori’s Artisanal Creamery), among others. Participants’ contest entries were judged on presentation, taste and texture. Guadolupe Santana was awarded the Best Presentation award. Elvira Avina earned honorable mentions.

Avofest celebrates 40 years PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON

Despite the sweltering heat, hundreds of attendees turned out for the 40th annual California Avocado Festival in downtown Carpinteria last weekend. The event kicked off with this year’s honorary chairs, Cecilio Marquez and Mary Valadez Marquez of Rancho Santa Cecilia, balancing an avocado on the nose of the Seal Fountain at the center of downtown. During the opening ceremony for the festival, emcee John Palminteri recognized Debbie Murphy for her work in starting the festival 40 years ago. Mike Lazaro, co-president of the board for the California Avocado Festival, was also presented with a Golden Avocado for his years of work with the festival. “We had an amazing weekend but definitely lower numbers during the day. The heat definitely took its toll, but the additional shade and hydration stations were a great help,” Lazaro said. “The town came together with some really epic days and evenings of music and camaraderie.”

Locals show out at strong arm, costume contests PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON

The 40th annual California Avocado Festival hosted several competitions over its three-day run, including a strong arm competition for adults (14 and up) and youth (13 and under), and a costume contest. More than 40 participants joined the strong arm competition, including 27 adults and 15 youths. This year’s winner of the adult strong arm competition was Vietnam veteran Nick Morice, who held his bag of avocados for more than 10 minutes. The winner of the youth competition was 13-year-old Miguel Lopez from Oxnard, who held his bag for just over four minutes. The winner of this year’s family costume was the Anderson family, which included Brett, Mikaela, Mackenzie and Gracia Anderson.

The winner of the 13 and under strong arm competition is Miguel Lopez, 13, of Oxnard, with a four minute and five second hold. At right is judge and First District County Supervisor Roy Lee.

Fifteen kids ages 13 and under, including a few 5 year olds, compete in the strong arm competition by holding a 5-pound bag of avocados.

Twenty-seven men and women competed in the adult division of the strong arm competition. All the participants made it past one minute, so they could keep their 10-pound bag of avocados.

Participants line up for the costume contest on Saturday.

Linden Avenue comes alive with three days of music at Avofest PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON

Music filled the air during the 40th California Avocado Festival, with 70 bands performing on four stages throughout the three-day event. Local favorites including Spencer the Gardener, Cornerstone and The Upbeat, drew audiences in to fill the dance floor. The sweltering temperatures did not deter attendees from grooving to the sounds throughout the festival, and with bands performing from the festival’s start to finish each day, guests enjoyed three full days of tunes of all types.

Star fire off Zuma

CVN

IT’S ALL SURFING CHRISTIAN BEAMISH I’ve always loved the north coast of Malibu, the chaparral canyons and hidden creeks, the steep coastal mountains and the quality of light — the way the ocean turns blue and sparkling where the highway curves with the point at Mugu Rock. But it’s a little strange now, in the first week of October, to revisit mid-July when my 14-year-old daughter and I made the 25-mile sail aboard my boat, Cormorant, from Point Mugu State Beach to Malibu Point, where we landed after a day and a night running down the coast. I wrote in my last column about how we began the expedition at Mugu Rock after a somewhat delicate negotiation with the head lifeguard there as to whether or not we could safely launch off the beach. My two buddies up from Malibu and the two lifeguards on duty each lent a hand launching us from the shore, everyone ending up in the ocean (except Josephine and me on the boat) after plunging off the steep drop having given us a good final shove seaward. Progress was slow in the hot sun on the still ocean, but I always say it’s better than backpacking with all your gear in a heavy rucksack, and moving at the pace of a slow walk over the sea has a certain meditative quality if one sees things the right way. After a plunge in the deep blue about a mile offshore, we made better progress with an afternoon breeze picking up and eventually sailed into the kelp bed at Leo Carrillo State Beach. We spent the afternoon surfing and walked into the campground store for a couple of ice creams and sodas, dripping sand and saltwater on the freshly mopped floor and the store owner, understandably to a certain extent, told us not to come in like that — walking the line between real annoyance and the desire to welcome customers. But the whole thing erred on the side of passive-aggressiveness, in my opinion. After all, you’re going to get some messes in your campground store, so just count your money and be happy and don’t bug me about your stupid floor. In the evening, we paddled back to the boat and started to cook mac ‘n’ cheese on the camp stove after changing out of our wetsuits and into jeans and sweatshirts for the coming night. The kelp tie came untied and the boat drifted sideways in the rising wind and I tried to secure the pot of boiling water, which I managed to pour into my shoe through my wool sock, which held the heat like a tea bag and burned my foot so I had to rip off my shoe and sock, spill the mac ‘n’ cheese and scramble to the oars to keep the boat under control as we were blown well down past the surf break to where an urchin boat was anchored, and finally threw the hook about 150 feet off

First Mate Josephine catches a nap after a long night’s sail. the urchin boat’s port side. I salvaged the mac ‘n’ cheese, but it tasted terrible with no butter or milk, both of which I forgot to bring. Then I made tea, but it tasted terrible, too. So, I put up the boat-canvas tent, which, in the 17 years since my big Baja expedition, has turned into a dirty rag. In the last light of the day we got into our sleeping bags in the most absurdly rough conditions I’ve ever tried to sleep through. It was a cruel joke the way the boat pitched and rotated at anchor, never going still for a moment — each extreme roll met by an equally extreme roll in the opposite direction, followed by the inevitable jerk-back on the anchor line. There would be no sleeping, much less even rest, in these conditions. Fully night by now, I considered the options. One idea was to call Natasha and have her drive down to pick up Josephine. But it was already 9 p.m., and I would have had to get the boat as close to shore as I dared, where Josephine would have to swim ashore in the dark, with surf pounding the cobblestone beach, and make her way up the cliff to where Natasha would be waiting. That wasn’t going to work, as I knew Ms. Natasha

would already be asleep with a cat or two cuddled around her. The wind was still blowing, which, with an extreme 7-foot tide bouncing off the shore, set in that interminable chop and roll, so I decide to stow the sleeping bags, pull down the once-lovely, now-snotty canvas tent, haul anchor, hang the rudder and run up the sails to sail onward through the night in hopes of calmer waters in the lee of Point Dume, 4 miles further down the coast. I wish I could say I accomplished these tasks in the dark with a methodical and cheery attitude, but my short temper and irritable disposition had me swearing mightily through each evolution. Exhausted and sweating, but finally sailing again, I pointed well offshore to clear any kelp beds. After a while I settled back down, my good First Mate Josephine making a place for herself between dry bags and the piled canvas, tucked back into her sleeping bag and had no choice but to trust me to bring the boat somewhere safe through this dark and moonless night. Point Dume was a darker mass in the distance, and there were a million stars

After a while I noticed a brighter star overhead and soon discovered that keeping the top of the mast pointing at that bright star kept the boat on course, so I sailed through the night reclined across the aft bench, not daring to fall asleep but deep in thought and rest. above, and I laid back with the tiller across my chest, checking that I had the bow pointed towards the far headland. After a while I noticed a brighter star overhead and soon discovered that keeping the top of the mast pointing at that bright star kept the boat on course, so I sailed through the night reclined across the aft bench, not daring to fall asleep but deep in thought and rest. And I’ve forgotten to mention the bioluminescence trailing off the boat like star fire as the wind carried us along at a good clip a couple miles off the long beach at Zuma, with the occasional swell lifting the boat to surf forward ever faster. It was thrilling and just-this-side of scary. Over perhaps an hour or two that I’m guessing I laid there, keeping the mast pointed at that one star with subtle pushes and pulls of the tiller, I thought of the long line of my family as I tend to do at night at sea (and that I don’t experience enough these days). There have been some traumas and disappointments through the generations — perhaps we all come in for a measure of that in life, and maybe we’re even lucky for it if circumstances don’t turn us bitter, and our experience can be a help to someone else along the way — but in that nighttime, rushing-sea meditation, I had contact with and awareness of the love and support that all those before me, however imperfectly, have given.

CHS class of ‘76 and ‘77 reunite during Avofest

The Carpinteria High School classes of 1976 and 1977 held their 50th class reunion during California Avocado Festival weekend, spending time together at the festival and touring their old campus. The activities started with a gathering at the CHS Warrior Head (see above photo) followed by a tour of the High School campus. Classmates were also recognized at the opening of the festival by John Palminteri as well as in lights on the Alcazar Theatre’s marquee. On Saturday, Oct. 3, the classmates met up at the Carpinteria Woman’s Club for food, drinks, music and a chance to get reacquainted with their fellow classmates. According to reunion coordinator Bonnie Chufar, holding the reunion on Avofest weekend was by design as it allowed for classmates to enjoy the festival while making new memories with old friends.

A small fire broke out in an upstairs apartment and damaged a second unit at Shepard Place Apartments on Tuesday, Oct. 6, and several local agencies responded to the area around 2 p.m. to douse the flames. Responding agencies included the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District, the Ventura County Fire Department, Montecito Fire Protection District, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office and AMR. According

to Mike LoMonaco, fire marshal with CSFPD, the fire started in an upstairs unit and travelled to a neighboring unit. The sheriff’s department evacuated the rest of the building while fire personnel dealt with the fire. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, though several neighbors reported hearing an explosion before the fire broke out. One of the building’s occupants was transported to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital with minor injuries.

TO ALL INTERESTED PERSONS: Petitioner: GREICY LUCERO VALENZUELA PEREZ filed a petition with this court for a decree changing names as follows: Present name: LUCA JESUS TEJADA PEREZ Proposed name: LUCA JESUS PEREZ THE COURT ORDERS that all persons interested in this matter shall appear before this court at the hearing indicated below to show cause, if any, why the petition for change of name should not be granted. Any person objecting to the name changes described above must file a written objection that include the reasons for the objection at least two court days before the matter is scheduled to be heard and must appear at the hearing to show cause why the petition should not be granted. If no written objection is timely filed, the court may grant the petition without a hearing.

Warriors win in a sweep on Senior Night

Carpinteria girls volleyball continues to find success against league opponents BY RYAN P. CRUZ Carpinteria girls volleyball came away with a 3-0 sweep over Hueneme in a special game in front of family and friends for Senior Night on Oct. 1. The Warriors won in three straight sets and celebrated the team’s six outgoing seniors in one of their final regular season games in their home gym. The Warriors’ senior players contributed heavily in the win, with coaches Favian Muralles and Evan Rowbottom starting with a group of mostly seniors in the lineup. The seniors sailed through the first set without much trouble, taking an early advantage with a 25-7 win heading into the second set. Hueneme answered back early in the second, as the Vikings took a lead and had the Warriors scrambling in a comeback effort. At the end of the set, both teams battled for game point, with Carpinteria pulling away and winning the close set, 27-25. Carpinteria kept up the momentum in the third set, securing the win for the seniors with a decisive 25-13 result and a perfect three-set sweep. Senior Cora Nimmons led the way with 13 kills and 12 digs in the win. The rest of the senior players contributed to the win with a balanced effort: Senior Isla Moore provided clutch kills and blocks at the front line; and seniors Leona McClellan, Vicky Martinez and Kelly and Nelly Dominguez cemented the defense with digs and assists throughout the win. “I am so proud of this team! Everyone gets along on and off the court, and all the laughs and focus shared at practice has truly fueled their success this season,” coach Rowbottom said. Carpinteria is now 12-6 overall, and 5-1 against league opponents, as the Warriors prepare for a week with two road games against Santa Paula and Dunn.

SHORT STOPS BY RYAN P. CRUZ

“I was proud of how we found ways to win, found ways to stay competitive and found ways to believe in themselves and their teammates,” Bryant said. The Warriors were balanced in the match, winning five of nine sets in both doubles and singles play. Aubrey Alcaraz went 2-1 in singles play, with her only loss coming against Santa Barbara’s top player. Carpinteria’s Nathalie Hernandez also went 2-1, while Ariana Cruz added the fifth point towards the Warriors’ final tally. In doubles, the pairing of Caroline Cooney and Cailyn Gillen continued their season-long undefeated run, turning in yet another 3-0 sweep together despite being challenged more than any other match this year. The highlight in the close match might have been a tiebreak win by doubles partners Yoselyn Aguirre and Naima Palacio, who came away with an important win to help the Warriors secure the match victory. “Overall, it was a good win for us against a top program,” coach Bryant said. “We will need to carry that momentum into our league matches next week as we host second-place Nordhoff and a much-improved Fillmore team.” Carpinteria girls tennis is now 6-5 overall and still 3-0 in the Citrus Coast League, with two league matches on the schedule this week.

Warriors battle on the road at Channel Islands

Luke Donahue looks to get the offense going for the Warriors.

Carpinteria football came up short on the road against Channel Islands on Friday, Oct. 2. The Warriors scored twice, but a late inception by Channel Islands sealed the loss by a final score of 24-14. The Warriors scored the first touchdown of the game, when freshman Grant Feramisco intercepted a pass following a bad snap and returned it 20 yards to give Carpinteria a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. Channel Islands answered right away, returning a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown and scoring a two-point conversion to take the lead 8-7. Carpinteria turned the ball over with an interception in the second quarter, which led to a 21-yard field goal by Channel Islands that extended the lead to 11-7. The Warriors drove deep into Raiders’ territory late in the second half, but the clock ran out before Carpinteria could score. Channel Islands scored again on the first drive of the second half, capping off a run-heavy drive with a 13-yard pass to bring the score to 17-7. Carpinteria then went on its best drive of the game, with senior Isaac Neri leading the Warriors 70 yards down the field and ending with a 3-yard touchdown pass to junior Gabe Chung on the first play of the fourth quarter. With an extra point by Peter Casas, the Warriors cut the lead to 17-14. Channel Islands sealed the win in the fourth quarter, running out much of the clock and scoring once more to bring the score to 24-14. Carpinteria threw a late interception, then Channel Islands ran out the remainder of the clock. “We had our chances. Unfortunately, Channel Islands made the plays at crucial points of the game,” said Carpinteria coach Van Latham. “Respect to them. They made the key plays when it came down to it, and we didn’t.” Carpinteria is now 0-6 and will face Santa Clara on the road this week. Last year, the Warriors defeated Santa Clara twice in two matchups.

Warriors water polo wins two at Buena Tournament

It was a tale of two days for the Carpinteria boys water polo team at the Buena Tournament this past weekend. The Warriors fell short in two matches on the first day of the tournament, then recovered to win both games on the second day. The Warriors faced perennial powerhouse Santa Barbara in the first game on Friday afternoon, where Carpinteria jumped out to a lead in the first half thanks to early goals from senior Oscar de Leon and freshman Junius Fedders — who both scored in the first quarter — and a pair of goals from senior Chris Reed to give the Warriors a 4-3 lead at halftime. The trio of De Leon, Fedders and Reed continued to hold Santa Barbara’s offense in check, providing blocks from the field, while Carpinteria’s goaltender Stefano Piccoletti added four blocks and one steal from the far end. But late in the game, with the score tied at 7-7, Santa Barabra broke the tie on a penalty, giving the Dons just enough to claim a one-goal win, 8-7. Later that evening, in the second game of the tournament, the Warriors struggled to break through against a highly talented Millikan squad. The Warriors managed to get three goals, but Millikan held on to its lead throughout to pull away with a 14-3 win. Carpinteria fared much better on the second day of the tournament, with wins in both matches on Saturday. The Warriors’ offense was on fire in the first win against Oxnard, where Carpinteria had goals from Reed, De Leon, Fedders, Brandyn Moore and Kyle Taff. Piccoletti and the Carpinteria defense locked down throughout the game, helping the Warriors hold on for a 15-2 win. Carpinteria won again in the final game of the weekend, with a 14-5 result against Rio Mesa. In this game, the Warriors scored early and often, taking a nine-goal lead at halftime and continuing the scoring in the second half, with Luke Donahue adding two goals and Isaack Zick finishing with three. Carpinteria will now prepare for another tough test, with a rematch against league leader and crosstown rival Cate this week.

Carpinteria tennis defeats Santa Barbara

Carpinteria girls tennis picked up a big win, defeating one of the elite programs in local tennis, Santa Barbara, by a score of 10-8 on Friday, Oct. 2. Carpinteria coach Charles Bryant said the Warriors played their “best overall match” of the season against the Dons, stepping up against stiff competition and coming away with a victory.

Carpinteria golfers take second in league match

Carpinteria girls golf took second place in the second Citrus Coast League match of the year, finishing just behind the match winners from Nordhoff. The Warriors golf team was led by sisters Sophia Garay and Lila Garay. Sophia, a senior, led the team with a low score of 44; while Lila, a junior, finished with her best result of the season with a new personal best of 51. Carpinteria finished with a combined score of 282. Nordhoff won the match with a combined score of 259, while Fillmore took third with a score of 299. “The girls are making progress personally and as a team and it’s rewarding to see them come together in support of each other,” said Carpinteria coach Jerry Dahill. “I also enjoy that these student athletes have other things going on in and out of school. I think half of the team are involved in FFA and Muses on campus, while others work and balance sports, academics and home life with maturity and dedication.”

Warriors cross country at top of league

ANGEL SILVA

Carpinteria’s boys and girls cross country teams are in great positions in the league standings, with both teams pulling out successful results at the Citrus Coast League Cluster Meet on Sept. 29. This meet, held at the Santa Paula Creek Sports Park, counts towards 50% of the league championship. The Warriors boys finished in second place overall in the team scores, while the girls team continues to lead the league with another first-place team win. Carpinteria’s winning girls team was led by senior Jaqueline Guadian, who took second place overall with a time of 19:30.9; and junior Mila Martins, who took fifth place overall with a time of 21:02.4. The Warriors boys took second place in the team results, with the top finisher being senior Max Soto, who took second place overall with a time of 16:25.7 in the 3-mile race. Carpinteria coach Angel Silva said the Warriors girls team has been running well as a pack, pushing the pace in the last stretch of races and improving overall as a team. “The girls team beat second-place Fillmore High School by just 12 points,” Silva said. “We need to continue moving this pack closer to the front in every race as we prepare for league finals. The boys team is beginning to come together as a team as their grouping has moved closer to the front runners. I’m very proud of both the girls and boys teams and how they raced as a team.” The Warriors cross country team will now prepare for the Dos Pueblos Invitational on Oct. 10.

Cate Rams roundup

Cate’s boys water polo continued its undefeated run through the league schedule with an 11-5 win over Malibu on Sept. 30, before the Rams took on tough competition with a 2-2 finish at the Buena Tournament on Oct. 2-3. Cate’s offensive leaders (and brothers) Monte and Fletcher Prince exploded for a combined nine goals in the win over Malibu, as the Rams are having no problems playing against a new slate of league opponents this season. “Malibu is always a tough team to play against, especially on the road at their home pool,” said Cate coach Jesse Morrison. “This was a high-energy back-and-forth game between two competitive groups. The Prince brothers gave us the spark we needed in the second half with some big-time offensive contributions. Team defense was at a premium yet again for our group, as we only allowed five goals against an offensively talented program.” Morrison credited Cate’s goaltender Andrew Sheshunoff, who has been key to the Rams’ success this season. With the win, Cate advanced to a record of 12-0 heading into the Buena Tournament. Cate began the tournament on Oct. 2 with an 11-6 win over Camarillo. The Rams then suffered their first loss of the year in the second game of the day, dropping a 10-6 loss to Royal to end the season-long win streak. The Rams came back on day two and had split results in games decided by one goal each. First, Cate got back in the win column with a 12-13 win over Porterville; then the Rams lost the final game of the tournament, falling to Redwood by a final score of 10-9. Cate boys water polo is now 14-2 overall, and the Rams have still not lost a game in league play, heading into a week with league matches against Carpinteria and Hueneme.

Before guacamole records were king

THURSDAY

What’s a Carpinteria history column without a periodic mention of La Vina Grande, the town’s pride and joy in the late 1800s and early 1900s? Planted in 1842, the grapevine’s base circumference measured to be 9 feet, 9 inches in 1906. At that point, a trellis supported a quarter acre of viney canopy. In 1915, the grapevine was moved to the current site of Aliso School. Preserved there as a tourist attraction for several years, the vine was later relocated to the Fish Camp — now Carpinteria State Beach — for visitors to ogle. Its final resting place was on the Upson property near Santa Monica Road, where “termites literally ate up the old stump and by 1924 it had disintegrated,” states Jane Craven Caldwell’s book “Carpinteria As it Was.” In 1978, the Carpinteria City Council made an official proclamation that the Carpinteria grapevine share the title of world’s largest with an English specimen then taking credit as the world’s largest, but with a trunk circumference of just 6 feet, 6 inches.
