Honoring those lost

The Chrisman California Islands Center on Carpinteria Avenue – which is scheduled to open in January 2024 – installed a granite monument on Tuesday with the propeller of the Conception boat atop. Thirty-four people died off Santa Cruz Island while on the Conception on Sept. 2, 2019, after the boat caught fire; the names of those lost in the Conception fire are etched into the monument, honoring their lives and legacies.

Museum welcomes new board member, hosts annual membership meeting

The Carpinteria Valley History Society held its annual membership meeting on Saturday, Nov. 4, at the Carpinteria Valley History Museum’s 956 Maple Ave. campus.

New board member Dr. S. Jim Campos, who joined the board in October, also gave a presentation to the group, titled “Voices of Mexican Town,” where he went over an abbreviated history of Mexican Town – the area located west of Linden Avenue – and discussed recent Carpinteria Cultural Foundation mural projects. The foundation unveiled a mural at Carpinteria’s Aliso Elementary School last month, depicting Carpinteria’s history and the contributions of Hispanic residents to the community.

Campos, who is on the board of trustees of the Carpinteria Cultural Foundation, was born and raised in Carpinteria. He worked at the Carpinteria Unified School District for 35 years, spending 13 as Main Elementary School’s principal. He has co-authored two books centered around Carpinteria’s history.

The group also recognized its volunteer of the year, Amy Marie Orozco, and accepted two railway depot drawings from Carpinteria architect Don Bensen. According to Orozco, the museum’s Executive Director and Curator Jayme Yahr will investigate whether the drawings depict the former Carpinteria train station depot.

For those who wish to donate historical objects or archival materials to the museum, reach out to Yahr at (805) 684-3112 or email info@carpinteriahistoricalmuseum.org.

LETTERS “This development is not ‘communitydriven’ and as a community, we must fight to stop it.”

––Jessica Mayer

Hotel on bluffs doesn’t benefit community

Sortis Holdings, the financiers behind the Carpinteria Farm Hospitality project, boasts that the project is, “a community-driven hotel, restaurant and regenerative seaside farm that takes a holistic approach to nurturing the land and its visitors. It’s an experience that considers our relationship to nature, offering food, wellness and lodging that restores balance.”

And yet constructing 59 lodge rooms, 40 bungalows, a large main building, a pool and wellness center, a restaurant and event barn, 16 housing units and parking for 273 cars on the last remaining coastal open space in our county seems an obvious attack on nature. The proposed luxury resort places 122,211 square feet of structural development on open space that has never housed a permanent structure. This development is not “community-driven” and as a community, we must fight to stop it.

California environmentalist David R. Brower once said: “We are no longer inheriting the earth from our parents, we are stealing it from our children.”

Haven’t we learned that resorts and development are not always synonymous

with progress?

We must protect the remaining natural open spaces. We must live with more humility and care for our land. The sweeping open bluffs beautifully define the nature of our unpretentious town, demonstrating what we as a community truly value, a connection to this beautiful place we are so fortunate to call home.

Allowing a sprawling resort on and adjacent to our most treasured land will irreversibly change the character of this town. We can’t let this happen.

Let’s save our remaining bluffs for future generations to wander. Let our legacy be the inescapable wonder and awe at nature’s own constructs, which no man or man-made project can possibly match.

Jessica Mayer Carpinteria

CVN will keep publishing thanks to our readers’ support Dear readers, We’re alive!

In September, we announced that tough times had fallen on Coastal View News; we were facing high printing/ production costs and reduced advertising revenue. At that point, ends were not meeting, and we were facing few options for keeping our company solvent.

We also knew that it was only fair to give our loyal readers (many of you for 30 years now!) a glimpse behind the scenes before walking out to pick up a newspaper on Thursday morning and discovering that there was no longer a newspaper to pick up.

We’re more comfortable reporting the news than being the news, but now we need to tell you two things: Thank you. We are deeply moved by your response and appreciative of everyone who contributed to the survival of this publication.

We haven’t gone away! Thanks to the community’s generosity, we can continue to report Carpinteria news, pay our hardworking, scrappy staff and keep up on our print bills.

Many of you have asked us how we will sustain our company if expenses are not going to come back down to Earth and one-time contributions will eventually be depleted. This is where we must continue to put our trust in the community to make Coastal View News a priority.

We are deeply moved by your response and appreciative of everyone who contributed to the survival of this publication.

If you read our newspaper and you haven’t already become a Sustaining CVN Member, please consider doing so.

These memberships are our lifeline, and with reader and advertising support, we can keep bringing you the information you need about the town you love.

Thirty years ago, when we started publishing this newspaper, we never could have imagined the adventure we were embarking on. It has been such a privilege to spend the last three decades shining a light on Carpinteria’s stories – the residents, businesses and nonprofits who make up this incredibly special community. We are thrilled that the adventure continues.

Canalino, Family School honor loved ones during Día de los Muertos

Students and teachers at Canalino Elementary and Carpinteria Family School were able to honor their lost loved ones during Día de los Muertos with several altares and ofrendas, constructed by each class and set up in the school cafeteria.

“It is not a day to be sad,” said Sonia Aguila, a second grade dual language immersion instructor at Canalino. “It’s a magical celebration to honor loved ones that passed away.”

Teachers guided students through the entire process, explaining to students the tradition of placing photos, candles, flowers and food on the ofrendas in memory of those who have passed away. Classes began building the displays on Oct. 23, and the schools celebrated Día de los Muertos on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2; the first day honored deceased children, and the second honored deceased adults, Aguila said.

Students put together their altares for their loved ones at school and at home, and students included pictures, or drawings, of family members, friends and pets.

The school also included a large ofrenda for Dianne Paradis, a longtime Canalino Elementary teacher who passed away last month.

Off-leash dog park will get six-month trial at Monte Vista Park

Carpinteria Planning Commission approves pilot program for dedicated dog area

BY RYAN P. CRUZ A new one-year pilot program for a dedicated dog park in a fenced-off area at Monte Vista Park was approved 3-1 by the Carpinteria Planning Commission on Monday, Nov. 6, but only under the condition that the commission reserves the right to review the progress after six months and – if necessary – revoke the permit if too many problems arise.

This is just the latest chapter in the city’s five-year journey towards creating an off-leash dog park within city limits, ever since the Carpinteria Dog Owners Group (C-DOG) reached out to the city in 2018 to ask for an off-leash park for their pups.

At the time, city code didn’t allow for off-leash areas, but the Carpinteria City Council authorized an amendment in 2019 to allow dog parks, and the city began to pursue several locations, including the Lagunitas open space, El Carro Park and Monte Vista Park.

The city originally chose a one-year test program for a “shared use” dog park within El Carro Park starting in September 2020, though after one year it became clear that the shared use configuration – a compromise that allowed for off-leash dogs at certain hours – would not work as a permanent solution. Dog owners supported the space, but neighbors complained about noise, uncollected dog waste and dogs remaining in the park off-leash after designated hours.

The city extended the temporary situation at El Carro through 2022, but in February 2023, the decision was made to officially end the El Carro shared-space dog park and try a one-year pilot program instead at Monte Vista Park while the city looks for a more permanent location.

According to city staff, the new fencedoff design that will go into place at Monte Vista Park will mitigate some of the negative effects reported by neighbors at El Carro Park. Monte Vista is surrounded by two streets, Bailard and Pandanus, with the most densely packed residences across the street from any noise. Dog owners from C-DOG also assured the commissioners that group members would monitor the park to keep nuisances to a minimum.

“We’re not going to be that loud and

The Carpinteria Planning Commission approved a dedicated off-leash dog park in a fenced-off area at Monte Vista Park – located at the end of Bailard Avenue – on Monday.

“I’m gonna struggle putting my stamp of approval on the use of Monte Vista Park. I think there are better locations in the city – more centrally located – that this could work at.”

––Vice Chair Glenn LaFevers

you’re not going to step in our poop,” one dog owner said during public comment.

“We just need a place to go.”

The off-leash dog-specific area will be located in the southeast corner of the park. It will stretch about 160 feet by 90 feet (14,400 square feet), fenced off by four-foot-tall black chain link fences with double gates at the entry to prevent runaway dogs from escaping through the openings.

The area is already covered in grass, and there will be benches and plenty of shade from existing trees at the edge of the park.

During public comment dog owners showed support for the canine-friendly space, but neighbors in the residences

Local veterans march in annual parade

RICHARD CARTER

The third annual Santa Ynez Valley Salute to the Vets Parade took place in Santa Ynez on Saturday, Nov. 4. The special occasion, organized by the Santa Barbara County Veterans Foundation, aims to raise funds for local veterans’ programs. To learn more about the group and their ongoing efforts, visit santabarbaracountyveteransfoundation.org.

surrounding the park – and those who lived near the previous El Carro Park shared-use space – warned that the dog park would bring problems with noise and parking.

“Those are the issues impacting this neighborhood,” said Planning Commission Chair Jane Benefield regarding the concerns over noise and parking.

Originally, city staff recommended that the temporary use permit for the dog area at Monte Vista Park be approved as a one-year pilot program, but Benefield suggested that the commission instead approve it only under the condition that it return after six months for a planning commission review, and if necessary, the commission could decide to nix the program at the time.

Commissioner John Moyer preferred to have the program run for at least a year, saying that the city should get a full year out of the fencing if it were already paying up to $20,000 to have it installed.

Eventually, the commission came to an agreement in a 3-1 vote to approve the temporary use permit for “up to one year,” with the caveat that in six months the item will come back to the planning commission to assess any issues.

Vice Chair Glenn LaFevers, the only member of the commission to vote in opposition, made it clear that he supported the idea of a dedicated dog park in the city – hopefully several in the future, he said – though he was not in support of the location at Monte Vista Park.

“I’m not exactly sure how the council decided on Monte Vista Park as the next

opportunity for the dedicated use,” he said. “I’m gonna struggle putting my stamp of approval on the use of Monte Vista Park. I think there are better locations in the city – more centrally located – that this could work at.”

The temporary park at Monte Vista Park will move forward, but the city will continue to pursue options for a permanent location in other areas, including at Lagunitas open space or other privately owned properties.

Local artist to host birthday bash at Alcazar Theatre

Will Breman, who was a finalist on The Voice, will celebrate his 30th birthday at the Alcazar Theatre on Friday, Nov. 10, with musical performances from Breman as well as Todd O’Keefe and Brent Franklin.

Breman was a finalist on NBC’s The Voice in 2019, and since then has worked with or opened performances for singers such as John Legend, Willie Nelson, Neil Young and Joe Walsh. His latest album, “And The Shadows Will Fall Behind You,” is now available on major streaming services. Breman told CVN the last time he played at the Alcazar Theatre was 2020.

“Ultimately it’s an excuse to do what I really wanted to do for my birthday, which is play music with the people, friends and community I love most,” Breman said.

The birthday bash will be emceed by local journalist John Palminteri; it is open to Carpinterians of all ages. Tickets are $15, and doors open at 7 p.m. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Alcazar Theatre, 4916 Carpinteria Ave.

Community commemorates 20 years of Bellas Artes

The Carpinteria community celebrated the Bellas Artes program at the Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center recently, with a historical exhibit commemorating 20 years of the program and a Day of the Dead celebration.

The Bellas Artes program provides Latin America arts education to residents of Dahlia Court, Chapel Court and Casas de las Flores, arts center Executive Director Kristina Calkins said. During the event, Carpinteria Mayor Al Clark presented a proclamation from the city honoring the program, and the office of California State Senator Monique Limón presented certificates of recognition to volunteers.

“The Bellas Artes program has been possible thanks to the contribution of many volunteers,” program founder Kathleen Lord said.

Cultural specialist Elena Rios, an Indigenous Azteca Chichimeca, also performed a blessing of the community altar, and the group Danza Grupo Tolteka Izkalotl performed dances honoring the elements and four corners, Calkins said.

The Bellas Artes Exhibition at the Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center can be viewed through Nov. 19, at the Robinson Family Studio, attached to the Charles Lo Bue Gallery at 865 Linden Ave.

Local teens gather at the Alcazar Theatre on Monday to speak out against gun violence.

Teens speak out against gun violence at Alcazar PHOTOS BY INGRID BOSTROM Carpinteria teens gathered at the Alcazar Theatre on Monday, Nov. 6 to perform staged readings addressing gun violence in the United States, joining more than 50 other communities across the U.S. which also participated in the “ENOUGH! Plays to End Gun Violence” performances. Each performer was asked to confront gun violence through their readings, with the hope of sparking community change.

This was the second year in a row the Alcazar had joined communities in the U.S. in hosting these readings. The theater also held a Q&A with First District Supervisor Das Williams, Commander Brad Welch from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, Becky Norton and Kavya Suresh from HopeNet of Carpinteria and Aja Forner and Carly Bass, co-founders of Carpinteria’s Moms Demand Action – the chapter of a national anti-gun violence group – to discuss gun violence.

Producer Amanda Williamson and director Elsha Narachi recently celebrated the release of their film, “Dust & Duct Tape,” at the Alcazar Theatre. Narachi, a local director and mother of three, graduated Carpinteria High School with the class of 1990.

The film was heavily influenced by Johnny Brown and “all of his kitschy westerns he made in the ‘70s and ‘80s.

Each movie usually featured a fast Cadillac, some cowboys, horses, shoot outs and saloon girls,” Narachi told CVN. “Dreams do come true! (…) after 20 years of plotting, we created our own movie, ‘Dust & Duct Tape!’ We were sponsored by Fred Williamson – Amanda’s husband and banker in the movie – from Rivahil Wines, and the Alcazar was unbelievably supportive of this dream of ours to have our names on the marquee and a red carpet at our premiere,” she added. “We are incredibly blessed to have access to some of the nicest ranches in Carpinteria, and ‘Wynonna’ – the 1978 Cadillac in our film – just loves all of those private dirt roads.”

“Dust & Duct Tape” was filmed on Narachi’s iPhone and edited by her son, 20-year-old Tristan Fenton. Luke,

Narachi’s other son, played the role of warden and helped film some of the action scenes. The Doublewide Kings Band performed at the premiere, and vocalist John Simpson starred in the film; Narachi said it “made for one of the most memorable nights to share with all of our friends and families.”

Locals Makayla Moore and Hannah Goodfield played robbers in the movie, while Graham Goodfield from Los Padres Outfitters played the deputy and rode horses alongside Shyla Narachi, Narachi’s daughter.

“My dad, Mick Cunningham, shined with his one line!” she said. “We hope it inspires others to make movies. They end up being beautiful little time capsules to watch and pass down through the generations.

“It was amazing to look around and see all of the community that raised us be present in our special little town. We recently lost two of our favorite people, Barbara Stoops and Mac Brown, so we wanted to dedicate our film to them as they will forever be in our hearts,” Narachi added. “Our event raised $3,000 for the theater and we hope it will encourage others to use this beautiful little venue for future events.”

Colin Finlay hosts screening, book signing

New Carpinteria resident Colin Finlay – a filmmaker and photographer originally from Scotland – recently participated in a book signing, Q&A and a film screening on Saturday, Nov. 4, for his latest book and accompanying film, “Hearts Road.”

The event began at Lantern Tree Books on Linden Avenue – the publisher of “Hearts Road Journals” – and continued to the Alcazar Theatre for the screenCOURTESY PHOTO ing and Q&A.

¾ cup sugar ¼ cup water 8 ounces cream cheese softened 5 large eggs 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

FLAN

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Add the sugar and water to a medium heavy bottomed saucepan. Cook the sugar mixture over medium heat until golden, brushing the sides of the pan with water to dissolve sugar crystals if needed. Watch carefully so the sugar does not burn.

Immediately pour the sugar mixture into a deep dish pie pan or 2 quart round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom of the dish with the sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the sugar mixture in the baking dish.

Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan, and pour boiling water into the pan until the water comes up one inch on the sides of the baking dish. Bake 50-60 minutes, until the center of the flan is set and only jiggles slightly when shaken gently.

Cool on a wire rack for one hour, then cover and refrigerate overnight. To serve, run a knife gently around the sides of the baking dish, then invert the flan onto a rimmed serving dish.

Carpinterians say goodbye to pumpkins with a smash PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON Carpinterians showed up to the Carpinteria Community Garden Park on Fifth Street on Saturday, Nov. 4 for an ingenious way to get rid of their leftover Halloween pumpkins: smash them! All they had to do was remove the candles and decorations, and for three hours, residents smashed their pumpkins to bits in a cornhole-style game. Albertson’s also donated pumpkins for the event; the used pumpkins will be composted and donated to local farms for animal feed.

King of the night

CVN

IN THE NATUREHOOD NANCY BARON At dusk, at this time of year, I often step outside to listen for the first hoots – a morse code of short and long “Hoo-hoo hooooo hoo-hoos” that tell me the Great Horned Owls are rousing for the night.

With their large size, staring yellow eyes, horn-like ear tufts and ghostly flight, Great Horned Owls are the proverbial hoot owl of children’s storybooks and Halloween.

Soon after the first owl starts up, I listen for a responding set of hoots. These may be potential rivals for their territory, or their mate roosting nearby. Mated pairs are monogamous and defend their territories with their hoots. The females duet with their mates, overlapping their hoots. Duetting commonly begins one to two months before their first egg is laid in December or January. This is how the pairs court and reconnect.

Like most raptors, female owls are larger than their male counterparts, but the male’s voice is deeper. Projecting the sound is a whole-body affair. They bow and raise their wings and stick their butts out, then puff up their white throats to release each hoot.

Great Horned Owls have the widest range of any owl in North America and the most varied diet, composed mostly of small mammals. Using a perch and pounce strategy, they scoop up prey or hold them on the ground and crush their spines with sharp talons and a powerful grip.

Small prey, like rats, are swallowed whole headfirst. They may tear off the head of larger prey to make swallowing easier. Or if it’s still too big, they tear the flesh with their beaks and talons and gulp it in chunks. Later, any bones and fur are regurgitated in oval-shaped pellets.

Owl pellets can be found on the ground beneath the roosts. Pulling a pellet apart reveals what they are eating.

I called Kim Stroud, the director of the Ojai Raptor Center, to chat about these giant birds of the night, knowing they are among her favorite raptors. She reassured me that while Great Horned Owls are known for their diversity of prey, they can’t carry off things larger than they are.

“So even though they look huge, they only weigh about three pounds,” she said. “People worry that they will carry off their cats, but cats are typically too

The large yellow eyes of Great Horned Owls give them exceptional night vision. Owls can’t move their eyes, but they can swivel their heads 180 degrees. heavy. They also go after skunks. Owls don’t have a sense of smell, so that works for them.”

Occasionally, they will eat carrion. One day our neighbor Helga Martin, who ardently believes in recycling, dropped off a large, road-killed possum in the orchard so that scavengers would not meet a similar fate, trying to dine in traffic. Then my husband Ken set up a wildlife camera trap to snap photographs. The Turkey Vultures showed up almost immediately, since they have an excellent sense of smell for dead things. Next, an immature Redtailed Hawk arrived and drove off the vultures. Most surprising was the Great Horned Owl that came in that night to check out what was left.

Great Horned Owls are well-designed to catch live prey. Their wings are broad but relatively short allowing quick maneuvers among trees. They appear almost headless as they glide on silent wings across an open space with their head tucked in. Barn Owls, the other larger owl in our parts, has a moth-like flight with thinner wings. They are pale while the Great Horned Owls appear uniformly dark at night.

Great Horned Owls hate crows. The feeling is mutual. By day, Great Horned Owls roost in big trees tucked close to the trunk, safe from enemies. But crows will harass any Great Horned Owl they spot, calling loudly to attract other crows to join the mob. If you see a flock of crows dive-bombing a tree and shrieking, look closely. The chances are there is a roosting owl. They will sometimes harass the owl until it flees and then attack it.

One day, my husband Ken and I were standing outside our garage when a Great Horned Owl – flying fast and low, with a pack of screeching crows hot on its tail – almost hit us.

But come nightfall, the Great Horned Owls are king. Swooping in when the crows are asleep, the Great Horned Owls may get their vengeance. By one account, nine dead crows were found below their roost, their heads gone but otherwise uneaten. This is a signature move of the Great Horned Owl. Like all owls, Great Horned Owls, don’t build their own nests. Most often, they will take over the nests of Red-tailed Hawks which tend to be built high in eucalyptus or sycamore trees. The timing works well because the early nesting owls’ young have usually fledged by the time the hawks are ready to nest in March or April.

Great Horned Owls are among the most common fledglings brought into the Ojai Raptor Center, Stroud said. Found on the ground, the fuzzy chicks look up at passersby with pitiful eyes after falling out of their nests.

“Often people don’t realize the owl chicks can climb the trunk of the tree using their feet and beaks. So, if left alone they can sometimes make it back up,” Stroud said. She asks that well-meaning people call the Ojai Raptor Center to help assess the situation before picking up a baby owl.

Great Horned Owls can live for 15 to 20 years – if they don’t get hit by a car or

are poisoned by eating a rat laced with rodenticide. If you are lucky enough to hear them hoot at this time of year, consider that you have a long-term neighbor working the night shift on rat patrol.

Please avoid the use of poisons. Owls can do the job for free and delight you with their evening serenades.

This Great Horned Owl was caught scavenging a dead possum in the author’s yard.

Juvenile Great Horned Owls can climb trees using their talons and beak.

Owl talons have a vice-like grip that can carry off prey or crush their spines. This owl was poisoned but it was successfully rehabilitated and released.

Stir. Microwave for another three minutes on medium or until chocolate and butter blend.

So, what other deeply personal struggles do I have to share this month? Nothing too juicy, except to say that it is a joy to wake up without a hint of the previous night’s activities in my bloodstream or on my conscience.

Driving into town to shape surfboards for a living is a profound blessing for which I am immensely grateful.

IT’S ALL SURFING CHRISTIAN BEAMISH “I know more about you than I know about myself,” a local man said, responding to my most recent column about quitting drinking. The kids’ book “Going on a Bear Hunt” pretty much sums up my philosophy: “We can’t go over it, we can’t go under it, we have to go through it!”

So, what other deeply personal struggles do I have to share this month? Nothing too juicy, except to say that it is a joy to wake up without a hint of the previous night’s activities in my bloodstream or on my conscience. Driving into town to shape surfboards for a living is a profound blessing for which I am immensely grateful.

Most of the boards I’m doing are custom orders, and a few for surf shops here and there as well. The value in the custom work, I believe, is in the communication I have with my clients, and I let the conversations go as long as they have to in order to get a clear sense of what’s needed.

Today, for example, after I loaded up my van with some blanks from Fiberglass Hawaii in Ventura, I got back to a guy who’d reached out via my website for a board for powerful winter surf in Oregon where he lives. Driving up the coast we talked over the particulars – the way some of the boards I’m doing remind him of Hawaiian-style boards he rode when he lived on Kauai.

We discussed whether this board should have a narrower or fuller nose, or if it should have channels, and what sort of fin array it should be. In the end, we landed on a 7’7” “Makaha-style” board, meaning a design with a wide point forward and a slightly fuller nose than most “performance” boards have, and an outline that tapers down to a narrow tail section. And I can perfectly picture what the finished product will be.

Then, this afternoon, my buddy Dana came by with his pal Terry from down at the Santa Barbara Harbor, and we laid out another Hawaiian-style board – a 6’10” with heavy influence from the late Ben Aipa and his boys, Akila and Duke, who carry on the lineage today with their “Sting” designs (a “wing” cut into the outline well forward of where most contemporary boards have their wings).

And again, there was much talk of the local waves this board is meant for, and how Terry plans to ride it, and it felt as though something was continuing on in the three of us longtime surfers hashing out ideas.

There have been a steady trickle of texts coming through as well, from surfers talking about the good experiences they’re having on the boards I’ve shaped for them. And I’m off to the East Coast again next week to shape for a week in Rhode Island with the crew I met at the boardroom show. At this moment, business really is great, and people are terrific – thanks be to God! (All this feels especially sweet, emerging from a very tough year-and-a-half across the entire surfboard industry.)

I was up in Santa Cruz last week, hanging out with Jonah Reimers, a young shaper/artist/filmmaker who, at 24 years old, has the integrity to say “no thanks” to a profile in The Surfer’s Journal because

The author, who clearly has a lot of time to think in his shaping bay. he doesn’t feel he’s accomplished enough in his field to warrant the attention. Also, because he does value what he’s pursuing, he doesn’t see how we can possibly get anything meaningful or worthwhile together by the Jan. 1 deadline.

It’s impressive to spend time with a young man who has such a strong personal vision and equally strong suspicion (even scorn) for the throwaway “content” of the current day.

It’s a funny couple of connections that put me in contact with this “Young Werther” artist (for you Goethe heads out there), starting with another old surfing friend from Santa Cruz, the photographer Patrick Trefz, who, incidentally, is also German. Trefz and I have been on some excellent missions over the years: surfing in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland in 2001 with Derek Hynd’s surfing festival, and roaming the island of Sal in Cape Verde and finding epic waves for a Surfer Magazine trip in 2005. He and the artist Barry McGee (who invited Jonah to participate in an art show in LA recently) pitched the would-be Surfer’s Journal article.

The other connection with the Jonah in Santa Cruz is that his grandfather Charlie Reimers and my dad, Bob Beamish, were good friends in the early 50s lifeguarding at Santa Monica and Zuma respectively.

Both Charlie and Bob are gone now, but my young friend and I feel this connection with that era, with our ancestors and with each other in this time continuum.

We love our dearly departed from that period of early California surfing, even as we individually pursue our postpost-modern design ideas. But we’re not doing the re-enactment thing – time is fluid and we’re moving with it. You may not be reading about Jonah Reimers in an upcoming edition of The Surfer’s Journal, but I suspect that if you have more than a passing interest in surfing, you will become aware of him in the coming years.

I’ve done a lot of name-dropping here, and I’ll drop one more as a segue: Joel Tudor, the very opinionated world champion longboard surfer from San

Diego and Jiu-Jitsu world champion as well, recently posted an ancient map of California – a very “there be monsters” sort of document. Anyway, the map depicted the Sierra Nevada range and the Coast Ranges as well, with a massive lake in the central valley and many rivers flowing to the sea.

The thought that came to me was a dizzying sense of how alive the state would have been, how abundant in fish and game. I remember learning that coastal tribes had problems with Grizzly bears feeding on whale carcasses that would wash ashore. Nature still resonates, still exists – it’s just that the concrete-lined riverbeds, the harbors, the freeways and the cities each changed everything so hard.

But I am intrigued by the idea of nature rejuvenation habitat restoration, dam removal, and small urban forests. A guy

speared a 98-pound white sea bass locally, I just heard! Give it half a chance, and nature will thrive. I have observed this in only a year-and-a-half with our back slope transforming from hard-packed dirt and weeds to a thriving insectary with an untold number of nocturnal lives passing through on hoof and paw. One thing I’m learning is that we know but a little, and that more will be revealed to us. It is our responsibility to be in some kind of action however, and we’ll see yet if we can’t get to a more abundant place as a nation, and as a people on this earth – present international calamities notwithstanding.

Christian Beamish took leave of his position at Coastal View News in October 2020, to pursue his surfboard business, Surfboards California, full time. He continues his monthly column, and shapes at the surfboard factory showroom at 500 Maple Ave., in Carpinteria.

The former Associate Editor of The Surfer’s Journal, Beamish is also the author of “Voyage of the Cormorant,” (Patagonia Books, 2012) about his single-handed expedition down the coast of Baja California by sail and oar in his self-built Shetland Isle beach boat. He now lives with his wife and two children in Ventura.

Carpinteria tennis reaches second round in CIF Playoffs After defeating Rio Mesa in the first round, the Warriors fell to Garden Grove in the second round

BY RYAN P. CRUZ • PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING Carpinteria girls tennis has a lot to be proud of in the 2023 season. At the end of the regular season, the Warriors had a 17-3 overall record and were the undefeated champions of the Citrus Coast League with a 12-0 conference record.

The girls kept that momentum going in the first round of the CIF Division 4 playoffs, hosting the Rio Mesa Spartans and playing a solid all-around match to advance to the second round with a win, 11-7.

The Warriors dominated in doubles play against Rio Mesa, with Carpinteria duos winning seven out of nine sets. The duo of Keyla Manriquez and Charlotte Cooney continued a strong run in doubles together and swept all three sets.

“They both are playing great tennis right now and are really understanding each other’s role,” said Carpinteria coach Charles Bryant.

The duos of Natalie Martinez with Taylor Trembly and Allison Banks with Sasha Porinsh also played well in doubles, with both pairs finishing 2-1 on the day.

In singles, freshman Izzy Scott built on an already impressive first season with a 2-1 finish – dropping only one set against Rio Mesa’s top player – while Valeria Zamora and Silke Leonard pitched in with

one set win each.

“Everyone contributed today, which was important as we needed everyone to step up and play well, which they did,” Bryant said. “Overall, it was a good opening playoff match for us. A few jitters here and there but for the most part the girls shook them off and played really well throughout.”

With the win, the Warriors advanced to the second round, and Carpinteria hosted Garden Grove for a Friday afternoon matchup on Nov. 3.

In the second round matchup, the Warriors fought hard but came up short in the end, falling to Garden Grove 10-8 and bringing Carpinteria’s postseason run to an end.

“We did battle and we never, ever,

gave up – which shows the character of our team,” Bryant said. “It was not for a lack of trying and that is why I am so proud of our girls. We didn’t play our best match unfortunately but a lot of that was due to the very consistent Garden Grove squad.”

In singles play, Carpinteria picked up five sets out of nine, with Scott picking up another sweep at 3-0.

“She was challenged in each set but has progressed so much in how to finish off those tight sets,” Bryant said. “She played so well today and has improved so much over the season. She’s only a freshman, but her future is quite bright.”

Zamora and Leonard each won one set in singles, with Bryant saying he was impressed by the “heart” Zamora

showed and Leonard’s consistency over her four years on the squad.

The doubles duo of Manriquez and Cooney also swept all three sets against Garden Grove, and the two will be the only Carpinteria representatives at the CIF Individual Sectionals on Nov. 20 after the pair won the Citrus Coast League Finals on Oct. 25.

“Overall, we played well,” coach Bryant said after the loss against Garden Grove. “I know I am left asking what more I could have done to prepare our players better and to get them at their playing peak. Tight losses unfortunately bring out those thoughts. But again, I am so proud of this group and what they accomplished this season. We do wish Garden Grove luck as they move on to the quarterfinals.”

Carpinteria finished the 2023 season at 18-4 overall and 12-0 in the Citrus Coast League, and the team now looks forward to cheering on the duo of Manriquez and Cooney at the CIF Sectionals on Nov. 20.

Carpinteria Athletic Director Patrick Cooney looked back on Robinson’s tenure for the positive effect he had on the athletes that came through the football program, and the reputation that Warriors athletics had among opponents and officials for their sportsmanship.

“From day one to this, Coach Robinson has served with passion and a plan,” Cooney said. “He and his teams met head on the challenges of inheriting a program in a rebuilding phase, navigated the shortest football season ever under Covid, returned to football activity with strict protocols and played competitive contests within the CIF and the Citrus Coast League.”

The school is now recruiting for the position of head coach. “The Warriors have come full circle as the program enters the next rebuilding phase,” Cooney said. “It starts at the top and the search for a new head football coach begins immediately.”

Local water polo programs find success in 2023

There’s something about the town of Carpinteria that makes local water sports programs stand out above the rest – it could be the beaches, or the longstanding tradition of junior lifeguards – but when a team of Carpinteria kids gets in the water, they just can’t help but succeed.

That was the case with Carpinteria High School, Cate School and the Carpinteria Tritons water polo teams – all three have found success in the pool recently.

Carpinteria just ended its 2023 season as the undisputed champions of the Citrus Coast League for the sixth straight season, sailing through conference play with a 6-0 record and qualifying for the highly competitive CIF Division 2 alongside powerhouses like Dos Pueblos and San Marcos.

The Warriors hosted El Dorado in the first round of the playoffs, and despite a late game comeback, Carpinteria had its season cut short with a final score of 12-8.

It was a successful debut season for Carpinteria coach Karl Fredrickson, who took over the boys water polo program this year.

Over at Cate School, the Rams water polo team made a splash in the Tri-Valley League, claiming second place in the conference and earning a spot in the CIF Division 5 Playoffs.

The Rams outlasted El Rancho in the first round, 18-13, and earned a second round matchup on the road in Palm Springs against La Quinta. In the second round, Cate jumped out to an early lead and held on in a closely contested battle, 7-5.

Cate was led by the trio of senior Remy Minnis and juniors Baye Breene and Phin Stephenson, who scored all seven goals in the win. Minnis found the back of the net four times, Breene sent in a pair of goals and Stephensen added a much needed goal from the outside, along with a strong presence on defense.

With the second round win, Cate advanced to the CIF quarterfinals for the first time in school history, setting up another long road trip to Pomona to face Ayala.

At Ayala, the Rams fell behind early and went into halftime down 11-2. Despite a valiant effort in the second half, the deficit was too much to overcome for Cate and the Rams fell by a final score of 18-11.

Coach Jesse Morrison credited his team for going further than any other team in Cate water polo history, specifically the seniors, who he said “have meant so much to our team’s achievements this year and the overall growth of the program.”

And proving that there is an even brighter future for Carpinteria water polo, the Carpinteria Tritons youth water polo team won three straight matches at the Ventura League 12-and-under Championships.

The Carpinteria Tritons are a co-ed team of boys and girls coached by Andrew Fedders and Jon Otsuki, and the squad of future water polo stars defeated COURTESY PHOTO the Gold Coast Girls, Gold Coast Boys Cate junior Phin Stephenson has and South Coast Boys on the way to winbeen a force on both sides of the ning a gold medal.

Carpinteria High School football coach resigns

Carpinteria High School head football coach Mario Robinson announced his resignation after four years of running the program. Robinson took over during the Covid-shortened season in 2020, and has led the Warriors through a rebuilding era with an overall record 6-26 and a Citrus Coast League record of 1-13.

Despite the challenges of rebuilding a team post-pandemic, Robinson helped create a hard-nosed football culture that featured players who played both ways and competed against teams with more size and depth.

Carpinteria’s cross country team competed in its final meet of the year at the Citrus Coast League Finals at Lake Casitas on Nov. 2.

The girls varsity team finished in third place behind second-place Nordhoff and meet winner Fillmore, and Warriors senior Audrey Kramer took 10th place overall – making her the only Carpinteria runner to qualify for the CIF Prelims on Nov. 11.

“I am very proud of how our girls raced today,” said Carpinteria coach Angel Silva. “They had a rough start at the beginning of the season, but through grit and determination they pushed through and were determined to do well today.”

The Rams may play eight-man football, but they have become a private-school powerhouse under coach Ben Soto. This season, Cate recovered from a shaky 0-3 start to make it into the CIF Semifinals this weekend under the lights at Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium on Friday night.

Cate is on a four-game win streak, and the Rams are on a mission for payback this postseason: in round one, Cate defeated Flintridge Prep 33-25 in a retaliation game after suffering a heartbreaking 44-42 loss to Flintridge in the first week of the season.

In the quarterfinals, Cate is set to face Valley Christian, which beat the Rams 52-22 in the second game of the year.

With a win, it could potentially set up a rematch against Chadwick – the only other team to beat the Rams this season – for the CIF Division 1 Championship.

On the tennis court, the Cate girls have been impossible to beat all season, and have advanced to 15-0 this year with wins in the first three rounds of the CIF Division 3 Playoffs.

In round one, Cate defeated Hoover 15-3; in the second round, the Rams beat Fullerton 10-8; in the quarterfinal, Cate outlasted Mark Kreppel 12-6, setting up a CIF Semifinal match against Cerritos on Nov. 8.

Cate’s girls tennis team has been led in singles play by sisters Alyna and Reyna Takahashi and Tri-Valley League champion Lisa Hasebe, and in doubles play by the duos of Frances Davis with Colette Change and Sophie Alijani with Pyper Davis.

After a strong showing at the league finals at Camino Real Park in Ventura, both the Cate boys and girls cross country teams qualified for the CIF Division 5 Prelims.

The girls varsity team placed third overall, led by junior Francesca Sutch who placed in the top five out of all competitors.

In the boys varsity race, her older brother senior Sebastian Sutch took first place overall, followed by fellow senior Everest Schipper in second place, helping the boys team take second behind Foothill Tech.
