CITY BEAT Safe Parking pilot program approved 4-1 with Councilmember Lee dissenting

Motion passes for Carpinteria pilot program, where homeless can sleep in their cars

BY EVELYN SPENCE A significant portion of Monday night’s Carpinteria City Council meeting was taken up over discussion on the city’s proposed Safe Parking Program: A program run by New Beginnings, which allows homeless community members a place to park their cars at night and sleep safely.

While the other four councilmembers expressed some concerns but largely showed favor – ultimately voting yes – Councilmember Roy Lee held firm on his dissent, attempting to slip into the motion a fingerprinting requirement for program participants. He argued that that fingerprinting and background checks would be important in putting “the well-being and safety of the community” first.

New Beginnings Director Kristine Schwarz, who spoke to the council over Zoom, said the program would never require fingerprinting because it “goes against the whole concept of ‘housing first.’” The program, she said, would make homeless Carpinterians a priority. “(We are) talking about (helping) people who are in your Carpinteria community already. Do you drive around and fingerprint people in your community in order for them to be in your community?

I won’t do it,” she said to the council.

“We’re a housing first program, and it’s a significant barrier. We have never had

any issues of this type.”

To get into the program, Schwarz said participants must have a valid driver’s license, and proof of current registration and insurance. Since the program opened in 2004, Schwarz said the program have had “very few instances” where they have had to remove people from their overnight lots, which are open from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and monitored by New Beginnings.

It also works with enrolled participants to find them other, more permanent housing. RVs and cars are allowed; cars that are towing other vehicles are not.

“It’s a lengthy intake process, but we don’t place barriers on people getting into the program,” she added.

In response to Lee’s comments about introducing a fingerprinting requirement, Alarcon pointed out that the program’s requirements are not as easy to meet for homeless individuals.

“For many of us it’s very easy to have a valid driver’s license and current registration, it is actually not the case for individuals who are in the brink of homelessness.

Individuals who are participating in this program are individuals who are looking to move forward in their lives… it’s not a handout, it’s a hand up,” she said, speaking in support of the program.

Lieutenant Burch Arnoldi, who serves the city of Carpinteria, spoke in support of the program. He added that he is familiar with the program and its origins

in Goleta. “That super criminal element is not the type of people that this program will be serving,” he said. “We had very minimal issues (in Goleta) … the program started out there. It is very well monitored.”

Code Compliance Supervisor Ron Alonzo said the city has seen approximately 15 homeless individuals living in their vehicles in Carpinteria, and said “for the most part, they keep to themselves.”

The pilot program will run for two years, starting when the lot is opened and operating. Around six spots will be available, in a yet-to-be-determined public space.

“We’re looking at some public space to evaluate the program,” City Manager Dave Durflinger said. “The program could start as early as the end of the year (…) We’d like to get it started as soon as possible.”

City adjusts remodel standards to fit fire codes

Moving forward, Carpinterians who conduct 50% or more remodels of their homes must put in a sprinkler system in their homes, the council voted Monday.

The previous threshold was a 75% remodel, based on square footage, Fire Marshall Michael LoMoncaco said.

Contract moves forward with Equity Praxis Group

The council unanimously voted to approve a contract with Equity Praxis Group, replacing Just Communities.

The latter organization, which was set to consult on the city’s Racial Equity and Social Justice Program, folded earlier this year.

The city adopted a resolution in June 2020, committing to community-oriented policing, incorporating anti-racist policies and an Ad Hoc Racial Equity and Social Justice Program.

The contract was approved at $108,202; Equity Practice Services has 12 consultants, researchers and facilitators, City Manager Dave Durflinger said Monday. Founder Jarrod Schwartz and Rene Castro will be the primary team members working with the city.

The cost is already budgeted in this year’s budget, having been slated for Just Communities.

Schwartz told the council he has been working in equity and social justice for over 30 years, including around Carpinteria with the school district and other local groups. Their work with the city will run from 18-21 months, and includes launching a committee, identifying key community assets, creating a report on recommendation for an agreement with the Sheriff’s Department; and other projects.

Former Councilmember Fred Shaw spoke in support of the contract and Schwartz’s work, saying he has known Schwartz for several years. “The city is in really good hands,” he said during public comment.

EV charging stations slated for removal, replacement

Electric Vehicle charging stations in the City Hall parking lot and Parking Lot #2 at Cactus Lane will be removed and replaced, due to general wear and tear, Public Works Director John Ilasin said Monday.

The city will use the same contractor for the replacement to keep the “products consistent with one another,” Ilasin said.

The stations are universal, meaning they can be used for various electric vehicles, such as a Tesla or a Bolt electric vehicle. Use is free of charge to city employees. The new stations will cost the city $37,950.

Four appointed to Downtown T Business Advisory Board

Four individuals were appointed to the Downtown T Business Advisory Board on Monday – which has been unable to meet in two years due to a lack of members – including Richard Mancilla, Jason Lesh, Lorraine McIntire and Tina Frontado. Mancilla and Lesh are business owners, staff said; McIntire and Frontado are not.

Lesh and Mancilla were appointed as assessment paying members, McIntire and Frontado as at-large members.

cil Monday, played the council a video showing how fast a fire can spread through a room without sprinklers.

“Smoke alarms are a passive system,” he told the council. “They are doing nothing to control that fire, to help you get out, to save those lives.”

Councilmembers expressed concern over cost of putting in a sprinkler system, but LoMonaco said the systems can help save lives and contain the fire. He added that since 2019, 10 homes in the area have been affected by the previous 75% threshold.

“Sprinklers do save lives, it’s what we need to do,” Vice Mayor Al Clark said.

In response to council questions about ADU sprinkler requirements, LoMoncaco clarified that if the main house does not have a sprinkler system, the ADU is not required to have one.

This change only affects residential houses, not businesses.

Allowing Residential uses on Open Space Parcels could lead to high density units on Parking lot 3 and other areas around Carpinteria.

The City’s draft 2023-2032 Housing Element, approved by the council Monday, proposes significant use of Residential Overlays to accommodate 901 new mandated RHNA units.

Statement from 4 of 5 City Council Members: “Measure T2022 also does not prevent development on Parking Lot No 3 but instead allows for its development with high density, multi-family residential development and therefore does not protect views, conserve water or preserve our small town charm.

They have three children: Kathleen, Guyvanna and Andrew, who have given them seven grandchildren, who called her The Nin. She lost her husband, Philip, in 2000. In his absence, she continued to be extremely proud of her loving family, who all remained nearby her entire life.

Nellie is survived by so many who continue to adore her: her children, Kathleen, Guyvanna and Andrew; her son-in-law, Mark, and her daughter-in-law, Carri; and her seven beloved grandchildren: Kaitlin, Lenáe, Markus, Alek, Philip, Joshua and Skyler. She also leaves behind her sister Patsy, many nieces and nephews, neighbors and life-long friends. Her life was full of love, laughter and adventures.

She will be deeply and noticeably missed.

Services will be held at the Holloman-Brown Funeral Home on Oct. 30 at 11 a.m. in Norfolk, VA. A reception will follow.

25 percent of CUSD students classified as “chronically absent” CVN

SUPERINTENDENT’S DESK DIANA RIGBY

“While many of the excused absences were due to Covid-19, unexcused absences and tardiness have increased.”

CUSD SUPERINTENDENT

While federal data shows that 15.3% of California students were chronically absent – meaning they missed more than 18 school days – during the 21-22 school year, Carpinteria Unified School District preliminary data shows that more than 25% of students were chronically absent, which significantly affects academic achievement.

While many of the excused absences were due to Covid-19, unexcused absences and tardiness have increased. CUSD partners with the District Attorney in the School Attendance Review Board (SARB) process to motivate parents to follow the state law requiring school attendance.

With three or more unexcused absences or tardies, school sites send the Truancy Level One letter to parents to schedule a meeting with school site administrators and counselors to discuss school attendance improvement efforts.

Clark opposes residential overlays

We finally learned that Councilman Al Clark opposes residential overlays.

Per Clark’s words, residential overlays are a “very scary prospect.” Last week’s Coastal View News article about the Oct. 17 City Council-Planning Commission meeting stated that Councilman Al Clark felt a residential overlay on potential sites was a “very scary prospect,” and that they were including too much in the draft, which they may not be able to take back once approved.

We all know better than to save a parking lot by putting a residential overlay on it.

Exactly as you worded it, Councilman Clark, put those words to Measure T, and that is what Vote No on T has been saying the whole time. I appreciate that you listened to what I said at the last City Council meeting. Sometimes stepping back and looking at all citizens’ needs is all it really takes.

The question though, is the entire council has been working with planning and city staff on RHNA for the past two years and Clark has never opposed it, so why the sudden change of heart? When it comes to state-mandated housing, four council members voted in favor of strategic planning and getting ahead of what the state is forcing upon us (the allocation of 901 mandated housing units by 2031).

This allows the city to tell the state where to put these multi-residential units, not the other way around.

Measure T on the other hand is the destruction of our General Plan, destroying a safety net the city has had in place forever to protect actual Open Space.

Vote No on T.

“How in god’s name did two refrigeratorsized utility box monstrosities find their way to the premier corner of quaint charming Carpinteria?”

– A.L. Bardach

Clark responds to public comments

After consulting with the City Attorney in July, I decided to not take a position either in favor of or against Measure T on the upcoming ballot. A speaker at Monday night’s Council meeting stated that I now have taken a No-on-Measure T position, misquoting me as expressing opposition to all housing overlays during our recent, joint Council & Planning Commission Oct. 17 meeting on our Housing Element. Thus, I must be taking a stand against Measure T. What I said at the Oct. 17 meeting was that I was opposed to having too many housing overlays. I am not opposed to housing overlays.

And to reiterate I am not endorsing either YES or No on Measure T. Sometimes one or two words can make a difference.

As Mark Twain once put it, “The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter – it’s

Support Kimbwala for CUSD Board

This is in support of Nuh Kimbwala, who is a candidate for the Carpinteria Unified School Board. I have known Nuh for many years, both in a personal and professional capacity, and my husband and I can vouch for his integrity, quality work ethic and particularly his interest in supporting the education of our children. In addition to being involved in education for many years, he also volunteers in numerous organizations, including the Carpinteria Valley Little League. Having Nuh serve as a school board trustee would be a great benefit to our community and I whole-heartedly support his candidacy.

Kids and cannabis don’t mix

My client’s appeal of a coastal development permit for a cannabis dispensary on Santa Claus Lane will be heard by the Board of Supervisors on Nov. 1. We have proved, at all levels, that there is no community benefit to this location – which Supervisor Das Williams claimed a year ago would be a determining factor in his decision – and that placing a dispensary anywhere on Santa Claus Lane would conflict with key public access and recreation policies of the Coastal Act. The county has failed utterly to respect these policies. The county knows that all the visitor-serving/family-oriented businesses on Santa Claus Lane, including the kids’ Surf Camp next door, and the surrounding residential communities – including Sandyland, Casa Blanca, Padaro Lane and Polo Condos – oppose the dispensary. At every stage, our unrebutted evidence has been ignored, and well-established legal principles have been buried.

Throughout the process, the county has failed every fairness test imaginable.

They have scheduled public hearings when they knew we could not attend.

They have withheld documents that should have been public long ago. The cannabis lobbyists have met privately with supervisors, including Supervisor Williams, who now refuses to meet with us, and has taken to calling my clients liars, in communications designed to discourage other project opponents. This has been the worst abuse of the public process – by local government – that I have observed in my decades as a land use lawyer in this county.

The community needs to demand accountability from our elected and appointed officials.

Downtown utility boxes are eyesores

There are so many troubling issues roiling the world, the country and SB County.

Right here in Carpinteria there is a firefight over a proposed hotel, profound concern over the preservation of our beach town, the ongoing Weed Wars and relentless fury at the First District’s contentious Supervisor.

Allow me to weigh in on a somewhat smaller but no less pressing issue: The recently installed mega-eyesores on the corner of Carpinteria and Linden Avenues.

How in god’s name did two refrigerator-sized utility box monstrosities find their way to the premier corner of quaint charming Carpinteria?

Ok, forget the question, recriminations and blame. How long before they are removed and put out of view (in back or on side or underground)? Would these eyesores have ever been installed on any corner in Montecito or downtown Santa Barbara? Not in your life.

Yes, of course, to the beautification and preservation of Carpinteria. No, of course, to the skunk stench of weed – and its corrupting politics.

But let’s start by restoring the showcase corner of our town square to what it looked like just a few weeks ago.

A.L. Bardach Carpinteria

Al Clark for city council

I have been a longtime supporter of Al Clark on our city council. In the past, I have also supported Gregg Carty and consider both as friends. However, with our small town now divided into five voting districts in an awkward and not entirely fair way, residents like me who live in Carpinteria’s new 5th District find ourselves having to choose between these two candidates.

For me, as difficult as this decision may be, the choice is clear: Al Clark is the one I want to represent me because he has a vision for keeping Carpinteria on course – the Carpinteria so many of us love – that really resonates with me. Al is extremely well versed on our General Plan, city planning and finance and the myriad of critical community issues that come before the council.

Furthermore, he is also our most progressive member of the council, ever willing to stand up for racial equity and women’s rights. That is why Al Clark is my choice for City Council, District 5.

It is air pollution.

Our elected officials refuse to mandate growers implement closed scrubber systems which would emit clean air back into the atmosphere even though this is considered best industry practice. Perfuming the air is still air pollution and not a solution at all. Meanwhile, appeal after appeal falls on uncaring ears.

Vote Clark to preserve Carpinteria

Carpinteria is a unique place. The residents know it, but so do big business and outside development interests.

In the past, city councils working together with the residents have stood up to those interests. That’s why we have the Salt Marsh Park instead of a marina. It’s why we have a Nature Preserve and ball fields on the Bluffs instead of hundreds of condos, a hotel and a shopping mall. It’s also why we don’t have a 175-foot-tall oil drilling rig just above the Seal Sanctuary.

So far, we’ve been able to preserve Carpinteria and reject proposals that just don’t fit with our small-town character.

To continue to do so, we must have a city council that listens to and acts in the interests of our residents. We must keep Al Clark on our city council.

Al listens and he leads. He will never put self-interest over that of the community, even if he has to stand alone. I implore District Five voters to re-elect Al Clark to our city council. Do it for all of us and help keep Carpinteria, Carpinteria.

Measure T will be impossible to reverse

Our main business corridor, Carpinteria and Linden Ave., has and always will be the heart and soul of our local commerce. The Downtown “T” is arguably the most important part of the local business community. It is Carpinteria’s strategically designed business corridor and is vital for our community’s health and prosperity.

It is the gateway to the “World’s Safest Beach.” It has welcomed locals and tourists alike for as long as anyone can remember. While I am neutral on the issue of the development of the Surfliner Hotel, there is a clear city process for this type of development in the commercial zone.

I feel that we have a very competent and thoughtful City Council, Community Development Director and Planning Department. I also feel that there is a strong and fair public input process for opposing and supporting this development within our city.

The one major flaw of this initiative is that, if passed, it would amend the definition of Open Space/Recreation (OSR land use designation) in the city’s General Plan. It would make all OSR-designated parcels in the city eligible for the overlay to be applied to them. So this could potentially make city OSR lands eligible for future residential-only development on them.

The city throughout the years has thoughtfully identified, purchased and protected these sites through the current OSR designation. I believe that trying to stop the development of the Surfliner Hotel at the expense of all of our already

protected open space is a bad choice and one that will be hard if not impossible to reverse.

Carpinteria can learn from SB’s mistakes

I read about “necessary change,” “being with the times,” “bringing in more capital,” etc. But who says that’s the only way when you, the residents and some officials do not agree? The charm of the “laid back beach town” with great shops has always been an attraction.

Santa Barbara was an artistic beach town. But several people made changes without taking it to the citizens for a vote.

It ripped our town apart. Gone are the creative art places, the charming shops, the “mom and pop” locations. We turned into a likeness of GAP and Victoria Secret malls from San Diego to Orange County to Laguna. Cookie cutters. Who wants that when it can be found everywhere?

The same with a privately owned desal plant on land instead of in the ocean where it belongs and has now cost us zillions of dollars because of poor choices.

Old timers will remember Piccadilly, where one could purchase anything from candy, getting your ears pierced, to the Christmas store, artist’s loft and more.

Endless hours spent in that affordable place by everyone. But now we have looming buildings that ruin views and take our quaintness away and remain unleashed.

Perhaps allow The Palms to be a boutique hotel with an eatery below. Do a few small boutique apartments with shops below. (Housing needed.) Perhaps a boutique inn with shops, but not a monstrosity that takes land and parking from the community. Keep it small, quaint and beachy. But think about all this modernity they want to build. Who will be able to

afford these places? Only out of town conglomerates like we got in SB. Please keep Carpinteria local and charming.

Don’t let someone tell you “You must.”

No you don’t! Make your voice heard.

Vote!

In support of voter ID

As we approach Nov. 8, election integrity is a frequent topic throughout the media. Every citizen has a right to expect that their ballot will be safeguarded at all and times and accurately counted.

In a perfect world, politicians and government officials at all levels would work tirelessly to ensure the integrity of the election. Sadly, this is not always true. Some bureaucrats even oppose measures that could significantly reduce voter fraud.

Voter ID is the most practical and effective method of stopping fraud. I do not understand why anyone would oppose its use. Think of all of the things that you cannot do without a photo ID: Boarding an airliner, cashing a check, buying alcohol or tobacco, entering a government building, checking in at a new doctor’s office and the list goes on.

Opponents of voter ID claim that it disenfranchises minorities. Baloney!

The vast majority of citizens have a driver’s license. With a tiny bit of effort, those without a picture ID can get one.

Anybody who has ever cashed a check already has an ID. For those who vote by mail or by absentee ballot, the signature must be verified. Your signature is on file from when you registered to vote. With voting by mail becoming more popular, it may require the hiring of temporary personnel as the election approaches. This would be a very appropriate use of taxpayer dollars.

It would take very little effort to find out where your candidate stands. Do not accept a smoke and mirrors “political” answer. If they are being honest, a simple “yes” or “no” will tell you everything that you need to know.

Do you really believe that anyone who opposes voter ID has integrity and the best interests of the country in mind?

Small Business Tek CVN

LET’S TALK TEK M I C H A E L AV E R Y I was recently referred to Jocelyn Jones at Sandcastle Time, who was having issues with her video surveillance system. I dropped by to meet with Jocelyn and get a better sense of what was in place and what the issues were.

I was amazed to find an old, out of date system that was failing and no longer supported by the company that manufactured it. There was a rat’s nest of cable, and cameras weren’t working, had bad video and a non-functioning phone app. Jocelyn was in a bad place, trying to live in a digital world with an obsolete analog system.

I originally attempted to use the old TV repairman approach. I know I am showing my age but there was a time when a TV repairman would come to your home, carrying two cases, one with all sorts of standard tubes and another with tools. He would open up the TV and after checking the basic function start swapping out tubes until he found the bad tube. I thought that if I started by replacing the recorder and then replacing the obviously bad cameras, I could get the system back in working order. Boy was I wrong – after four hours I had one camera working again and had six more to go. It was time to regroup. I committed to find a technology platform that would cost effectively replace the old analog gear. I suggested that the next step would be to find good digital IP cameras and upgrade the system to state-of-the-art system that used Cloud based storage.

This minimized the hardware needed on-site, thereby reducing initial cost and maintenance costs.

I was able to find high resolution cameras and with the help of my good friend Jose Jimenez got the new system installed and functional in six hours. This included pulling new Cat5e computer cable, a POE Data Switch, and a Videoloft Cloud Adapter to record all her cameras to the Cloud with access from her iPhone and notifications via text and email if there is an incident. A new, simple, easy to use case of digital Tek. This whole process got me to thinking about how Tek, and the technology platforms available today can make a real difference in the efficiency and success of today’s small businesses. Security is just one of the many technology platforms that can benefit a small business.

Some of the technology platform categories worth considering are: • Project Management • E-Signature Tools • Email Marketing • Customer Relationship Management (CRM) • HR Management • Accounting Software • Communication and Collaboration

The author helped out Sandcastle Time with their surveillance system, which he set up to be used through an iPhone app.

• Password Management An analysis commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce found that not only have various technology platforms played a critical role in helping small business owners start, run, and grow their business – as well as survive economic turbulence – but also that small businesses who fully embrace technology are outcompeting their peers and are more optimistic about the future.

“Despite historic inflation and two quarters of negative economic growth, small business owners have proven themselves resilient time and time again, aided in part by technology platforms like digital advertising, business software, and delivery apps that power operational efficiencies and provide increased access to customers,” said Jordan Crenshaw, vice president of the U.S. Chamber’s Technology Engagement Center.

If you are a small business owner, I encourage you to take some time to look at how you can use Tek to improve your operation. You will be pleasantly surprised at the available options that can help you take your business to the next level.

Class of ’72 reunites during Avofest

The Carpinteria High School Class of 1972 reunited during this year’s California Avocado Festival, event organizer John Chufar told CVN. The class took a tour of the high school, led by current CHS Principal Gerado Cornejo. They were also welcomed at the Seal Fountain and recognized by current Carpinteria City Councilmember Gregg Carty. Alumni also received a coffee mug commemorating their class.

“Classmates traveled from throughout California as well as several states including Texas, Florida, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington State to attend the reunion. The main event took place on Saturday at the Carpinteria Woman’s club and featured a local’s band, a DJ and a Taco and burger bar,” Chufar said.

The class also created a memorial at the club to honor those who had passed away.

Event organizers included Chufar, Gregg Carty, Betty Blair, Becky Blair, Carrie Hurd and Debbie Walton.

The Santa Barbara County Health Department reported a decrease in Covid-19 virus transmission, of 19.23% in the last seven days. The department noted that there is an underreporting of cases due to the increased at-home testing.

“Covid-19 community levels remained low in Santa Barbara County according to CDC definitions,” the department said in its weekly update. “This reflects new Covid-19 cases per 100,000 population, new Covid-19 related hospital admissions per 100,000 population, and the percent of inpatient beds occupied by Covid-19 patients.”

Covid-19 hospitalizations have also decreased, and ICU admissions are low, the department said. There was one new death reported between Oct. 14 and Oct. 20.

The Measure T Debate As the Nov. 8, 2022 general election comes into sight, Measure T remains a controversial topic in town: At city council meetings, in CVN’s letters section and at other community forums.

Measure T seeks to stop the Surfliner Inn from being built by making changes to the city’s general plan – a document that governs and guides Carpinteria planning – by rezoning Parking Lot #3, the lot the hotel would be built on.

If Measure T passes, those changes will stop any further progress on the inn.

If Measure T fails, the inn’s developers can move forward with submitting their plans through the city’s regular developmental review progress. All plans for the Surfliner must still go through city’s planning departments.

Local Patricia Boyd has qualified as a write-in candidate for the District 1 Carpinteria City Council Elections, City Clerk Brian Barrett confirmed.

Barrett confirmed Boyd had gathered 20 signatures, and qualified as a write-in candidate for District 1. The other candidate for the District 1 seat, and the only one who will be listed on the ballot, is Monica Solorzano; because Boyd gathered the required signatures, residents who vote for Boyd by writing her name down will have their votes counted.

“Of course, her name will not show up on the ballot, but instead folks can write-in her name in the blank on the ballot for District 1. (Tuesday) was the last day of the write-in nomination period, and Ms. Boyd was the only write-in candidate,” Barrett said.

Boyd will host a candidate event on Saturday, 4–6 p.m., at her store, Lost & Found, at 905 Linden Ave.

––Evelyn Spence

What is Measure T, and how does it relate to the Surfliner Inn project?

After six years of not having their voices heard on commercial building on public land, frustrated voters from all over the city of Carpinteria petitioned to get the measure on the ballot. Measure T allows registered city of Carpinteria voters, not just the city council, to determine whether to approve a controversial hotel development on public land that commits the city to a 50-year lease with the Surfliner Inn. Measure T prevents commercial development on two

specific public properties by re-zoning Parking Lot #3 next to the train platform as OSR (Open Space Recreational) and reaffirms the OSR zoning of the property between The Spot and the railroad tracks. The definition of OSR is modified to allow the existing parking on Lot #3.

In plain language: Measure T keeps the parking lot, preserves the open area, and stops the hotel.

Why should Carpinteria residents vote yes or no on Measure T?

Measure T allows Carpinteria’s voters to decide whether to build a hotel on the city’s downtown and beach parking lot #3. The proposed Surfliner Inn will forever change the character of our downtown. The hotel is a far different addition to the downtown than the renovation of existing private properties on Linden Avenue. Do we want a high priced, oversized hotel dominating the south end of our main street? Do we want the additional traffic in the beach

neighborhood? Can we sustain the water usage of a hotel?

Do we want to lose the open, grassy area next to tracks?

For those of us who believe that building a hotel on public land will not improve but instead detract from Carpinteria’s small town charm, Measure T is the way to make our voices heard. Voting Yes on Measure T is a resounding No to the construction of the Surfliner Inn.

If Measure T fails or passes, what are the campaign’s next steps?

Yes on Measure T is the city’s residents organized campaign and totally self-funded – not having to appease or answer to party politics, out-of-town developers, and other interests that don’t have the good of the city of Carpinteria residents as a priority. Pass or fail, the all-volunteer Yes on Measure T Committee’s campaign will disband after the election. The Yes on Measure T campaign is confident that Carpinterians after the election will continue to protect the

quality of life and finite resources while supporting commercial development of existing private properties aligned with the downtown’s current scale and character. Our fellow citizens will continue to watchdog all development; participate in the public process at ARB, Planning Commission, and city council meetings; and in general, do what’s best for the whole of the city of Carpinteria and valley.

What is the most common question or concern our campaign wants to address?

Opposition to Measure T have made several inaccurate statements that amending the General Plan will have adverse effects of residential development and limiting new parking on other city parcels. Measure T does not allow residential development on properties that have not already been designated for that purpose – and none of the city’s OSR properties have that Residential Overlay designation. Measure T does not by itself preclude “new parking” on OSR designated

parcels within the city (page 10, Staff 9212 Report 12.13.21).

Relatively little of the forecasted financial gains will benefit Carpinterians with the bulk going to the hotel developers.

The city of Carpinteria is not in financial need because of Measure X, the local sales tax that was adopted in 2018.

The electorate chose that route, rather than a hotel or other commercial development on public land, to meet the city’s financial need by ensuring a steady flow of revenue.

Is there anything else your campaign would like to add?

Measure T is necessary because the city council would not allow an advisory vote, up or down, specifically on the Surfliner Inn. Because of their refusal to truly consider the numerous public comments of city residents, a ballot measure became the only legal process available to hold the city council answerable to the public regarding this highly significant and long impacting private development on public property. Measure T does not limit the city coun-

cil’s authority or change the General Plan in any matters other than the zoning of these two parcels, and if potential complications arise, councilmembers have recognized that it is well within the power of the city to resolve them (city council meeting 12.13.21).

Bottom line, Measure T lets the city’s voters decide whether there will be a hotel on the site of the City’s Downtown & Beach Parking lot.

The Yes on T campaign is powered by an all-volunteer group dedicated to doing what’s best for Carpinteria and Carpinterians. Yes on T is the result of frustrated residents, after six years of not having their voices heard, collecting more than the required number of signatures well before the deadline to make it a ballot measure. Campaign spokesperson Annie Sly is a longtime City of Carpinteria resident and perhaps best known for the Linden Avenue eatery, Sly’s, she owned with her husband James.

BY CARLA STEIN

What is Measure T, and how does it relate to the Surfliner Inn project?

At its core, Measure T is an initiative that would impose sweeping changes to the city of Carpinteria’s carefully thought-out zoning regulations, General Plan and Local Coastal Plan which have protected Carpinteria from overdevelopment for decades. These changes would open the door to high-density residential development on Lot #3, prevent a new public parking lot with a walking trail on Lot #4 (next to the Spot), impose restrictions for future

access on every other open space parcel across the city, and prevent the public planning and review process of the Surfliner Inn to move forward.

Noticeably, the initiative does not mention the Surfliner Inn project in its text. We believe this is extremely misleading. If the initiative was about stopping the construction of the Surfliner Inn, Measure T should have been upfront about it.

Why should Carpinteria residents vote yes or no on Measure T?

Whether you like the Surfliner Inn concept or not, you should vote No on T. As the Santa Barbara Independent said in its No on T endorsement, “Measure T is too clever by half.” We agree.

The General Plan (GP) and Local Coastal Plan (LCP) were painstakingly created through a public process.

They have protected Carpinteria’s true open spaces, like the Bluffs, for decades. Don’t believe us? Even Al Clark

believes placing a residential overlay on parcels, as Measure T does, is a “very scary prospect” (CVN Vol. 29, No. 5). Why the sudden need to amend the GP/LCP without public discussion or due process? If No on T prevails, there is no guarantee that the Surfliner Inn will be approved – it just lets the public planning and review process move forward. That is why No on T includes residents who also oppose the Surfliner Inn.

If Measure T fails or passes, what are the campaign’s next steps?

Our committee was created to stop this poorly written initiative from passing. That is our only intention. The city and our fellow Carpinterians will be forced to deal with all of the unforeseen consequences that the passage of Measure T will create. Land use planning should not be done with ballot measures. That is why we have the endorsements of Congressman Salud Carbajal, Supervisor Das Williams,

Santa Barbara County Democratic Party, Santa Barbara Independent, Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, Supervisor Gregg Hart and four out of five Carpinteria city councilmembers. There are dozens of local businesses and community leaders who oppose this dangerous measure as well.

That is why we urge our fellow citizens to vote no on T.

What is the most common question or concern our campaign wants to address?

The initiative singles out a parking lot in downtown Carpinteria to be reclassified as open space intended for recreational use, thus blocking any changes to the property.

Open space is currently classified as land designated for “protection of natural resources; for the managed produc-

tion of resources; outdoor recreation; and public health and safety.” Calling a parking lot, next to the railroad tracks, in a commercial corridor “open space” is very misleading.

Also, important to note, not an inch of the Community Garden is at risk!

Is there anything else your campaign would like to add?

We are a community. In 1998 we united to purchase the Bluffs property. In 2010 we went toe to toe with Venoco to block a slant oil and gas drilling project. We have proven we can work together. Now, unfortunately, instead of working together, we are being torn apart by an initiative that came about because some people were not happy with any kind of positive response to the Surfliner Inn.

The real intent of Measure T is to circumvent our public planning and review process – a process that has served us well for more than 30 years, a process where information and ideas are shared and not censored, and it is the main reason we are able to continue living in one of the greatest coastal communities in America. Vote No on T. ProtectCarp.com.

Carla Stein, a No on T committee member, is a native of Los Angeles who moved to Carpinteria in 1980 with her husband Brad Stein, former City Councilman and two-time Mayor of Carpinteria.

Their sons, Eric, Jeremy and Kevin, attended Carpinteria schools before going away to college. A founding member of the Carpinteria Arts Center, Carla currently serves on its Board of Directors. She has a Bachelors Degree in Business Economics from UCSB, and held positions at Bank of America, Chase Bank and was General Manager of Sunset Shores, a 78-unit condominium complex near the beach in Carpinteria. .

“Of course, her name will not show up on the ballot, but instead folks can write-in her name in the blank on the ballot for District 1. (Tuesday) was the last day of the write-in nomination period, and Ms. Boyd was the only write-in candidate,” Barrett said.

Boyd will host a candidate event on Saturday, 4–6 p.m., at her store, Lost & Found, at 905 Linden Ave.

the city into legal concerns over the consequences of changing the general plan through a ballot measure.

But, in relation to the hotel: Voting “yes” on Measure T means no hotel on Parking Lot #3. Voting “no” on Measure T will allow progress on the inn’s plans to move forward.

The “Yes on Measure T” and “No on Measure T” campaigns answered five questions about the measure and their campaigns in submissions to CVN, which can be read below. Representative Annie Sly spoke for “Yes on T” and representative Carla Stein spoke for “No on T.” Have any further questions about the election or about Carpinteria news?

––Evelyn Spence

What is Measure T, and how does it relate to the Surfliner Inn project?

After six years of not having their voices heard on commercial building on public land, frustrated voters from all over the city of Carpinteria petitioned to get the measure on the ballot. Measure T allows registered city of Carpinteria voters, not just the city council, to determine whether to approve a controversial hotel development on public land that commits the city to a 50-year lease with the Surfliner Inn. Measure T prevents commercial development on two

specific public properties by re-zoning Parking Lot #3 next to the train platform as OSR (Open Space Recreational) and reaffirms the OSR zoning of the property between The Spot and the railroad tracks. The definition of OSR is modified to allow the existing parking on Lot #3.

In plain language: Measure T keeps the parking lot, preserves the open area, and stops the hotel.

Why should Carpinteria residents vote yes or no on Measure T?

Measure T allows Carpinteria’s voters to decide whether to build a hotel on the city’s downtown and beach parking lot #3. The proposed Surfliner Inn will forever change the character of our downtown. The hotel is a far different addition to the downtown than the renovation of existing private properties on Linden Avenue. Do we want a high priced, oversized hotel dominating the south end of our main street? Do we want the additional traffic in the beach

neighborhood? Can we sustain the water usage of a hotel?

Do we want to lose the open, grassy area next to tracks?

For those of us who believe that building a hotel on public land will not improve but instead detract from Carpinteria’s small town charm, Measure T is the way to make our voices heard. Voting Yes on Measure T is a resounding No to the construction of the Surfliner Inn.

If Measure T fails or passes, what are the campaign’s next steps?

Yes on Measure T is the city’s residents organized campaign and totally self-funded – not having to appease or answer to party politics, out-of-town developers, and other interests that don’t have the good of the city of Carpinteria residents as a priority. Pass or fail, the all-volunteer Yes on Measure T Committee’s campaign will disband after the election. The Yes on Measure T campaign is confident that Carpinterians after the election will continue to protect the

quality of life and finite resources while supporting commercial development of existing private properties aligned with the downtown’s current scale and character. Our fellow citizens will continue to watchdog all development; participate in the public process at ARB, Planning Commission, and city council meetings; and in general, do what’s best for the whole of the city of Carpinteria and valley.

What is the most common question or concern our campaign wants to address?

Opposition to Measure T have made several inaccurate statements that amending the General Plan will have adverse effects of residential development and limiting new parking on other city parcels. Measure T does not allow residential development on properties that have not already been designated for that purpose – and none of the city’s OSR properties have that Residential Overlay designation. Measure T does not by itself preclude “new parking” on OSR designated

parcels within the city (page 10, Staff 9212 Report 12.13.21).

Relatively little of the forecasted financial gains will benefit Carpinterians with the bulk going to the hotel developers.

The city of Carpinteria is not in financial need because of Measure X, the local sales tax that was adopted in 2018.

The electorate chose that route, rather than a hotel or other commercial development on public land, to meet the city’s financial need by ensuring a steady flow of revenue.

Is there anything else your campaign would like to add?

Measure T is necessary because the city council would not allow an advisory vote, up or down, specifically on the Surfliner Inn. Because of their refusal to truly consider the numerous public comments of city residents, a ballot measure became the only legal process available to hold the city council answerable to the public regarding this highly significant and long impacting private development on public property. Measure T does not limit the city coun-

cil’s authority or change the General Plan in any matters other than the zoning of these two parcels, and if potential complications arise, councilmembers have recognized that it is well within the power of the city to resolve them (city council meeting 12.13.21).

Bottom line, Measure T lets the city’s voters decide whether there will be a hotel on the site of the City’s Downtown & Beach Parking lot.

The Yes on T campaign is powered by an all-volunteer group dedicated to doing what’s best for Carpinteria and Carpinterians. Yes on T is the result of frustrated residents, after six years of not having their voices heard, collecting more than the required number of signatures well before the deadline to make it a ballot measure. Campaign spokesperson Annie Sly is a longtime City of Carpinteria resident and perhaps best known for the Linden Avenue eatery, Sly’s, she owned with her husband James.

BY CARLA STEIN

What is Measure T, and how does it relate to the Surfliner Inn project?

At its core, Measure T is an initiative that would impose sweeping changes to the city of Carpinteria’s carefully thought-out zoning regulations, General Plan and Local Coastal Plan which have protected Carpinteria from overdevelopment for decades. These changes would open the door to high-density residential development on Lot #3, prevent a new public parking lot with a walking trail on Lot #4 (next to the Spot), impose restrictions for future

access on every other open space parcel across the city, and prevent the public planning and review process of the Surfliner Inn to move forward.

Noticeably, the initiative does not mention the Surfliner Inn project in its text. We believe this is extremely misleading. If the initiative was about stopping the construction of the Surfliner Inn, Measure T should have been upfront about it.

Why should Carpinteria residents vote yes or no on Measure T?

Whether you like the Surfliner Inn concept or not, you should vote No on T. As the Santa Barbara Independent said in its No on T endorsement, “Measure T is too clever by half.” We agree.

The General Plan (GP) and Local Coastal Plan (LCP) were painstakingly created through a public process.

They have protected Carpinteria’s true open spaces, like the Bluffs, for decades. Don’t believe us? Even Al Clark

believes placing a residential overlay on parcels, as Measure T does, is a “very scary prospect” (CVN Vol. 29, No. 5). Why the sudden need to amend the GP/LCP without public discussion or due process? If No on T prevails, there is no guarantee that the Surfliner Inn will be approved – it just lets the public planning and review process move forward. That is why No on T includes residents who also oppose the Surfliner Inn.

If Measure T fails or passes, what are the campaign’s next steps?

Our committee was created to stop this poorly written initiative from passing. That is our only intention. The city and our fellow Carpinterians will be forced to deal with all of the unforeseen consequences that the passage of Measure T will create. Land use planning should not be done with ballot measures. That is why we have the endorsements of Congressman Salud Carbajal, Supervisor Das Williams,

Santa Barbara County Democratic Party, Santa Barbara Independent, Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, Supervisor Gregg Hart and four out of five Carpinteria city councilmembers. There are dozens of local businesses and community leaders who oppose this dangerous measure as well.

That is why we urge our fellow citizens to vote no on T.

What is the most common question or concern our campaign wants to address?

The initiative singles out a parking lot in downtown Carpinteria to be reclassified as open space intended for recreational use, thus blocking any changes to the property.

Open space is currently classified as land designated for “protection of natural resources; for the managed produc-

tion of resources; outdoor recreation; and public health and safety.” Calling a parking lot, next to the railroad tracks, in a commercial corridor “open space” is very misleading.

Also, important to note, not an inch of the Community Garden is at risk!

Is there anything else your campaign would like to add?

We are a community. In 1998 we united to purchase the Bluffs property. In 2010 we went toe to toe with Venoco to block a slant oil and gas drilling project. We have proven we can work together. Now, unfortunately, instead of working together, we are being torn apart by an initiative that came about because some people were not happy with any kind of positive response to the Surfliner Inn.

The real intent of Measure T is to circumvent our public planning and review process – a process that has served us well for more than 30 years, a process where information and ideas are shared and not censored, and it is the main reason we are able to continue living in one of the greatest coastal communities in America.

Carpinteria Community Farm

CVN

BOSSES BY BOSTROM INGRID BOSTROM Megan Moreno, founder and visionary director of Lanterns Global, and her husband, Saul Moreno, administrative director and CEO of Lanterns Global, are cultivating outdoor education opportunities for our community. The Morenos, new stewards of acreage off Carpinteria Avenue, discuss their plans and programs in the following interview.

CVN: What is your vision for the farm and how is it going so far?

The Morenos: Our vision for Carpinteria Community Farm is to create an educational farm space where kids from all backgrounds and programs (homeschooled, traditionally schooled, after-school programs, and weekend programs) can experience the joys of outdoor learning and farm life.

We have completed Phase One! Phase One included: Making the farm safe (picking/digging up lots of trash and dumped debris that was all over our 2.5-acre plot), putting up a fence around the farm and two lockable gates, having the trees trimmed and pruned to be safe, running irrigation lines and bringing water to the avocado orchard and bringing in organic mulch and wood chips for one section of the farm, a shipping container was donated for storage. A Carpinteria local has donated his time to make 10 cedar picnic tables for us.

Phase Two includes constructing a Gaga ball pit (a game that’s a mix of handball and dodgeball), tilling the ground to prepare for planting, running irrigation lines in our half acre veggie garden and tilling the ground on the remaining open land.

Phase Three includes the planting after the soil is ready. We hope to plant veggies on a half of an acre, a cover crop on a half-acre and a native California Chumash garden on another half of an acre.

Please describe the three programs you currently offer (Terrain, El Jardín, and Farm to Table). What sets each one apart?

El Jardín was our first local educational program that we created with all of our own children in mind, learning Spanish through immersion has been a hope of ours for our children. El Jardín is a Spanish Immersion program that includes focused vocabulary in Spanish, and fun activities, gardening and art projects spoken in Spanish in an outdoor, natural setting. It’s a four-hour drop off program that meets in small pods of 12 students max and has different semester Spanish themes. El Jardín is for kids in grades TK–eight grade.

Terrain is a new program of ours. We created it being inspired by forest schools with one of our daughters in mind, who thrives being outside, adventuring, and moving her body. Terrain has its home base at the farm where they take care of the chickens in the morning and have a daily fable book they read together.

From there, they go exploring on the bluffs where they climb trees, look for

animals, play, pretend, and hike. Terrain is for kids ages three to six years old.

Farm to Table is another new program of ours that meets at the farm. We are starting very small with one pod of eight children for grades kindergarten through third grade. Some kids come one day, some kids come three days, and they are tutored in all academic subjects in an outdoor, farm setting. Math and Language arts are individualized subjects, where history, science, art and read-aloud books are taught in a group setting. Farm to Table is a five-hour drop-off program and we hope it will continue to grow and be a supportive enrichment program for families.

What drives your desire for outdoor education?

Our own kids drive our desire for outdoor education, for sure. Living out homeschooling these past ten years as a family, I have come to know that my kids enjoy learning more outside in a peaceful place. The more I’ve researched alternative education around the world, studies show that places that incorporate kids spending more time outside have higher levels of learning and happier kids. Living in Carpinteria, and especially after the season of Covid-19 we’ve all lived through, I think we all have a newfound appreciation for the physical and emotional health that comes from being outside.

For those that didn’t attend your recent fundraising event at brewLAB and wish to support your organization, how can they contribute?

We appreciated everyone who came out to our first fundraising event – thank you! And to those who are interested in supporting what we’re doing, thank you! We graciously accept tax-deductible donations through our website: lanternsglobalinc.org/take-action.

What do you and your family enjoy doing together when not at the farm?

We love Carpinteria, and we are at the beach with friends most weekends. Hiking, biking and soccer are some other activities we love to do as a family.

Savory Butternut Squash Scones CVN

PASTRIES IN PARADISE H E AT H E R G I A C O N E I decided to switch it up and give you a savory fall inspired pastry. I am sure we will all be in sugar overload after the Halloween festivities, and this could be the perfect recipe to offset all those sweet indulgences.

One of the many things I look forward to this time of year is cooking with different types of winter squashes. I absolutely love this scone recipe and use it for a base for just about any savory scone.

In this recipe, I use butternut squash, but feel free to substitute acorn squash, or pumpkin. You can also substitute different herbs like thyme or sage. You could switch it up completely and throw in some chopped bacon, substitute different cheeses, or add some caramelized onion. I’m telling you, anything goes! This scone would be delicious for breakfast, as a snack at lunch, or even served with dinner. It would also make the perfect complement to your Thanksgiving feast. Enjoy!

Yields – 1 dozen scones

Ingredients

1 small-medium butternut squash 2 T olive oil dash salt and pepper to taste 3 cup all-purpose flour ½ cup sugar 2 T baking powder 2 t salt

ADVERTISEMENT

St. Jude

2 t fresh chopped rosemary 4 ounces shredded asiago cheese (plus more for sprinkling) 1 cup finely chopped kale

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking trays with parchment paper. Peel, and deseed butternut squash, then dice into ½” cubes and place onto one of the prepared baking sheets, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast squash for approximately 15 minutess, until squash is tender, stirring occasionally to roast evenly. Cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, add flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and chopped rosemary.

Whisk together, then add butternut squash, chopped kale, and cheese. Stir in the cream until the mixture comes together. You may need to add a little extra cream.

FOOD COURT

On a floured surface, roll dough into a 8” by 12” rectangle, rotating the dough as you go to ensure the dough doesn’t stick.

Cut dough into 6 even squares, then cut the squares in half, leaving you with 12 triangle shaped scones. Place scones on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle each one with cheese. Bake scones at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!

The Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center kicked off the Día de los Muertos celebrations on Sunday, Oct. 23 with the building of ofrendas, following a free showing of “Coco” at The Alcazar Theatre. Community members gathered to honor the loved ones they have lost, coming together in their memories.

The center set up alters – ofrendas – where photos of loved ones who have passed are placed, welcoming home the souls of the dead.

Jasif got some flowers to use as decorations.

CVN at the Grand Canyon

Carpinteria resident and “inveterate traveler” Amanda McIntyre snapped a photo of herself on the north rim of the Grand Canyon, telling CVN she was “happy to be hiking once more.”

Her trip began at Zion National Park, then to Bryce National Park, both in Utah. “Both have fine trails amid streams and lush greenery,” said McIntyre. She said she was hiking mostly at around 8,000 feet, and said there were many unique sights within the canyons and gorges.

“Thank you Theodore Roosevelt for your great help in preserving all these lands that became our National Park system so that future travelers could be surrounded by this unique and special nature,” she said.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on November 10, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. 5 of the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara, Anacapa Division, at 1100 Anacapa Street, P.O. Box 21107, Santa Barbara, CA, 93121-1107.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of a petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100.

The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the heating date noticed above.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Carpinteria Traditions: From Halloween to Día de los Muertos (Pt. 2)

THURSDAY

BY S. JIM CAMPOS

Editor’s Note: This article is continued from “Carpinteria Traditions: From Halloween to Día de los Muertos (Pt. 1)” which ran in CVN Vol. 29, No. 5.

In 1980, Joe and Diane Cardenas opened Reynaldo’s Bakery on Linden Avenue. Joe’s family came from the state of Jalisco in Mexico, where Día de los Muertos was celebrated. He brought the tradition with him, and he and Diane began to make sugar skulls, breads with skeleton imprints and other macabre offerings during the Halloween season.

Many customers must have figured the baked goods were a Halloween gimmick.

“All of us stand on the shoulders of those who came before us (…) We must never forget the benefits they made to make our own lives better.”

Joe and Diane Cardenas opened Reynaldo’s Bakery in 1980. They featured Día de los Muertos sugar skulls, skeleton breads and other goodies around the Halloween season. Here, Diane proudly displays a tray of the goods.

a dance to honor the dead, an original number produced by Mr. Mireles. Mountains of food had to be prepared by his students’ families to feed the Main School masses that would attend the event. The preparation included many home visits with the parents, which created a strong bond between them and Mr. Mireles. Sugar skulls and skeletons were ordered from Reynaldo’s Bakery, courtesy of Joe and Diane Cardenas and from Von’s Grocery in Montecito, where Mr. Mireles’ brother, Felipe, was a baker at the time.

Mr. Mireles’ Día de los Muertos celebration on the Main School grounds for that first event was a huge hit. The festive sounds and dazzling colors caught the imagination of the community. It was unlike anything the community had ever experienced. The event became an annual celebration at Main School for the next dozen years until the elementary school was closed and turned into the Community Children’s Center.

Today, in Carpinteria, Día de los Muertos events compete against each other for time and space on the City’s calendar of events. One of the various event organizers, Artesanía de la Familia – headed

by Suzanne Requejo and a committee of Carpinterians – has been hosting its annual festivities at the Carpinteria Cemetery for the past few years providing mariachis, fiesta dancers and a taco food truck.

The cemetery as a place to make merry?

This year’s event will start on Friday, Oct. 28, with a Chumash blessing – shades of Rene Mireles’ origin idea back in 1995 – and the building of ofrendas (altars). A fiesta will follow on Sunday, Oct. 30, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. The ofrendas will be left

intact through Wednesday, Nov. 2. The public is invited.

The cemetery is the most appropriate of places for a Día de los Muertos celebration. A cemetery is a natural host for families building ofrendas over the grave markers with pictures to share memories of their dearly departed. Food and drink are brought to share picnic style with any spirits that wish to join in on the fun.

This practice is common in Mexico, but would you believe it has taken hold in Carpinteria, too?

Requejo and her committee’s event notwithstanding, visit the Carpinteria Cemetery on any day from Sept. 28 through Nov. 2 and see for yourself! You might even catch sight of Diane Cardenas of Reynaldo’s making a path of marigolds – the favored flower of Día de los Muertos – connecting the graves of two of her dearly departed family members residing in the Carpinteria Cemetery.

Jim Campos is a native born Carpinterian. Upon retiring from a 35-year career with the Carpinteria Unified School District in 2006, he joined a group of local historians to publish two pictorial history books on Carpinteria. Jim’s curiosity of local history grew from that experience. He has been a regular contributor of in-depth research pieces for The Grapevine of the Carpinteria Historical Society ever since. He has a current series running in The Grapevine about Carpinteria’s only Old West lynching in 1859. In 2020, Jim wrote an entire year of columns for CVN’s Throwback Thursday and today’s column initiates his return on an intermittent basis.

With just two more games left in the regular season, the Warrior boys’ water polo team holds a perfect 5-0 in the Citrus Coast League with a pair of dominating victories last week over Channel Islands and Hueneme.

Carpinteria won the CIF Southern Section Division 5 championship last year and finished as the runner up in the state regional tournament, with several of the team’s returning players and coaches earning postseason honors. Leading scorer Asher Smith was named CIF Player of the Year; goalie Jacob Taff was one of three other Warriors named to the All-CIF Team; and head coach Stephen Kim was Named Division 5 Coach of the Year.

The Warriors were promoted to CIF Division 2 in 2022 and were challenged early this season with a few tough matchups against traditional Division 2 and 3 schools like Dos Pueblos and Buena. Carpinteria remained competitive in higher division play and suffered four non-league losses by two or fewer goals.

In tournament play they proved they could compete with anyone in the pool, finishing in second place at Malibu and breaking even against Division 2 talent at the Buena/Ventura tournament.

By the time Carpinteria hit the Citrus Coast League portion of its schedule, the Warriors were sharp and ready to dominate their familiar league foes. In the first three matchups, Carpinteria’s

offensive attack and stingy defense proved too much for Channel Islands (22-3), Hueneme (20-0) and Nordhoff (22-4).

Heading into last week, the Warriors were 3-0 in league play.

On Thursday, Channel Islands returned to Carpinteria for the teams’ final matchup of the season. The Warriors shared the ball and played solid on both ends on the way to another decisive league victory, 23-1.

Aiden Alcaraz and Jake Ehlers led the charge for the Warriors with three goals each in the win.

On Monday, Hueneme visited Carpinteria Community Pool for another league rematch, but the Warriors defense was a brick wall and Carpinteria shut out the Vikings for a second time this season 25-0.

“The Warriors came out strong and never looked back,” Kim said.

Justin Main led the team with three goals, while Smith pitched in all over the pool with a goal and multiple assists.

Carpinteria is now a perfect 5-0 in league play, and the Warriors have outscored league opponents 112-8 over the five games. The Warriors have one Citrus Coast League game remaining against Nordhoff, and one final home game against Thousand Oaks on Thursday, Oct. 27.

Carpinteria football earns third win of 2022

The Warriors won their third game of the year, and their first in league play, in a 17-10 battle against Nordhoff last Friday.

It was homecoming and senior night for the Rangers, but Carpinteria came into town and spoiled the festivities with a hard-fought win on offense, defense and special teams.

“We continue to stress the importance of practicing hard and it carries over into the game,” said Carpinteria head coach Mario Robinson. “The team played hard for four quarters.”

On defense, Sawyer Kelly finished with four tackles and the Warriors grabbed two key interceptions – one by Sebastian Hernandez and another by Jason Dishion that sealed the game for Carpinteria.

The Warriors special teams made big plays as well, with a blocked field goal and a big return by Matthew Muñoz.

Quarterback Talon Trumble ran the offensive charge with 20 carries for 118 yards on the ground and another touchdown on a 23-yard pass to Judah Torres.

With the win, defense Carpinteria is now 3-6 on the season, and will face Hueneme for a The Warriors held chance toone-point break evenlead in Citrus on to a for Coast League play on Oct. 28. Kickoff is at 7 p.m at Carpinteria High School.

their second win of the year.

Cate beats rival Thacher in gridiron rematch

The Cate Rams eightman football team took a heartbreaking loss to bitter rival Thacher in a Friday night matchup under the lights at Carpinteria High School just a few weeks ago, but the teams met again on Saturday and this time Cate came out on top in another back-and-forth thriller, 24-22.

After Thacher started early with a blocked punt that set up a one-yard score, Cate responded with a 12-yard strike from Pen Brooks to Tyler Martinez to tie the game.

Before halftime, the Rams would score a AIMEE STANCHINA field goal, and senior Cate’s Tyler Martinez (1) and Ethan Rehnborg (2) Zaq Asuamah picked off celebrate against rival Thacher. a Thacher pass to set up another Brooks-Martinez touchdown.

Thacher responded in the third quarter with a half-back pass to bring the score within two, and then took the lead back with a touchdown with just under nine minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Then the Rams went back to well for a third touchdown pass from Brooks to Martinez to seal the game 24-22.

“Another Cate-Thacher nail-biter,” said Cate coach David Soto. “Both teams played very hard and very well. Like most times these two teams play, this game could have gone either way. I’m proud of our fight today, especially when things got tight.”

Warriors girls tennis claim second place in CCL

Carpinteria handled business with two more Citrus Coast League wins over Santa Paula (17-1) and Nordhoff (12-6), finishing second overall in the league and heading into the postseason with a record of 13-6 overall, 10-2 in league play.

At Santa Paula, singles players Zahra Porinsh, Silke Leonard and Ariana Lounsbury each swept their sets, and the team only dropped one set in doubles play.

Then against Nordhoff, the Warriors won eight out of the nine doubles sets, and took the win 12-6 even though the Rangers took five out of nine sets in singles play.

Lounsbury teamed up with Charlotte Cooney for yet another 3-0 sweep in doubles, and the duo would go on to continue their domination in the first round of the Citrus Coast League Individual Tournaments a few days later.

On the opening day of the CCL Individuals, Carpinteria had a strong showing in both doubles and singles. Porinsh and Leonard reached the semifinals in singles, with Porinsh earning a spot in Wednesday’s finals against Malibu’s Galen Selbert Perkins.

Cooney and Lounsbury won all six sets on the first day and will compete in the finals against Malibu’s best duo.
