Jumping for Howard

Howard School student Daxton Alfano jumps onto a mat during this year’s Howard School Jump-A-Thon. Alfano took home the prize of top earner at this year’s annual fundraiser, held earlier this month at Howard’s campus. A spin on the traditional jog-a-thon, students are encouraged to “jump” for funds, while receiving sponsorships by family and friends; the $34,000 brought in this year will cover Howard School improvements, teacher grants, supplies, art programs and more. “It’s a fun, positive way to show our support,” said Annika Washburn, a parent at the school, in a press release. “It gets our kids involved in a tangible way.”

Man arrested for attempted kidnapping near Carpinteria Middle School

Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a Santa Barbara man last Thursday for an attempted kidnapping that occurred near Carpinteria Middle School.

On Tuesday, Nov. 9, Carpinteria Middle School staff contacted Community Resource Deputy Bryan Dickey to report an attempted kidnapping incident that had occurred a few blocks away from the school near the entrance of a bicycle path, around 4 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 8.

Dickey spoke with a female juvenile, who provided a thorough account of the incident and a suspect description; soon after deputies identified the suspect as 51-year-old Elias Maldonado. Deputies also learned Maldonado had an outstanding warrant for his arrest.

On Nov. 10, Dickey and sheriff’s deputies tracked Maldonado to a motel on the 5500 block of Carpinteria Avenue. He was taken into custody after briefly attempting to flee.

County releases birth rate summary: above 5,000 births reported in 2021

Santa Barbara County released its birth rate summary, covering 2017-2021, last week, reporting 57.7 births per 1,000 women of child-bearing age in 2021, for 5,489 births.

“Births have been on the rise following the low count in 2018 of 5,252 recorded births,” the report said.

The county also reported “significant differences” in birth rates between Hispanic, white, Asian and Black mothers. In 2021, the county reported the lowest birth rates among Black mothers, at 26.5 births per 1,000 people; the highest birth rates were seen among Hispanic mothers, with 80.3 births per 1,000 people.

The county also reported drastic differences in birth rates between Central and South County residents compared to North County residents. According to the data, 90% of Central and South County mothers had at least a high school diploma or an equivalent, compared to 55% of North County mothers.

“Birth data informs and guides existing Public Health programs such as Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health (MCAH),” Deputy Director for Community Health Paige Batson said in a press release. “By being data driven, while still factoring in feedback from the clients we serve, our teams can ensure that communities most in need are the focus of outreach efforts and can work to provide critical linkages to needed services.”

Carpinteria schools see overall decline in English and math test scores

BY JUN STARKEY

Carpinteria Unified School District has seen an overall decline in both math and English test scores for students grades three through 11, based on the most re cent results of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP).

“I don’t think anybody can say they are satisfied with these or even happy with the results,” board trustee Andy Sheaffer said. “Not meeting a lot of these goals is certainly disappointing.”

Superintendent Diana Rigby reviewed these scores at the district’s Nov. 8 school board meeting. She also went over goals set by the district in 2021; the majority of goals, she said, were not met in 2022. Several district principals also reviewed goals and strategies for each school site, focused on improving test scores and students’ wellbeing.

In the 2018-19 school year, 47% of all students in grades three through 11 met the English Language Arts (ELA) standards; in 2022, that dropped to 42%. In math, 43% of students in grades three through 11 met the standard proficiency, and in 2022, that number dropped to 36%.

On average, the CUSD 2022 CAASPP scores were greater than the county average for English, and greater than both county and state averages for math. When compared to state ELA averages, CUSD outperformed in third grade and sixth grade.

District students who are learning English performed better on average in English and math compared to county and state averages, with 15.1% in English and 16.1% in math. Students with disabil ities and economically disadvantaged students also outperformed the state

and county on average in both English and math.

Among CUSD elementary school stu dents, there was an overall improvement in ELA, from 41% in 2021 to 42% in 2022.

Aliso Elementary School and Carpinteria Family School (CFS) were the two sites that saw an increase in proficiency scores; Aliso went from 33% in 2021 to 35% in 2022, and CFS from 33% in 2021 to 59% in 2022.

In math, there was an overall de crease from 36% in 2021 to 21% in 2022. Summerland was the only site to see an improvement in math scores, from 33% in 2021 to 50% in 2022.

Among junior high and secondary school students, the district reviewed the scores of the same group of students as they were tested in 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2022. From 2019 to 2022, there was an overall decline in English and math scores, with the exception of 11th grade English, which increased from 47% in 2019 to 51% in 2022.

Rigby also reviewed her goals for the 2022 school year, which were decided on in June 2021, and compared the goals to the performance of students. Her goals, among others, involved increas ing student learning, engagement and participation.

For English and math, the district did not achieve its goals of 60% and 50% proficiency, respectively, but Rigby did note that “both grade eight and grade 11 scored better in 2022 than they did in 2021.”

For English learners, the district did not meet its goal of a 5% increase in scores for both English and math, with the exception of grade five English, which increased from 5% to 13%. For economi cally disadvantaged students, the district

again did not meet its goal of an overall 5% increase in scores, except for eighth grade math, which increased from 16% to 35%. Among students with disabilities, the district did not meet its goal of an overall 5% increase.

The district partially met its goal to have 70% of secondary students with a 3.0 GPA or higher, with 74% of Carpinteria Middle School students, but only 60% of Carpinteria High School students earned a 3.0. The district also did not meet its goal of a 5% chronic absenteeism rate, with 29% in 2022, or the goal of a 97% or higher attendance rate, with 91% in 2022.

Plans to improve student outcomes at each school site

The board also heard the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for Aliso Elementary, Canalino School, Carpinteria Middle School and Carpinteria High Schools. The SPSA outlines goals and strategies for each school site to improve students’ academic achievement and wellbeing.

Principals for Aliso, Canalino, CMS and CHS spoke about their individual CAASPP outcomes, and the goals and strategies that each school is using to

improve students’ performances.

Aliso Elementary Principal Brett Weiberg reviewed six goals set for the school, which included ensuring 60% of students in kindergarten through fifth grade will score at grade level on the STAR reading and STAR math assess ments. To reach this goal, Weiberg said the school has a reading intervention program, which involves identifying stu dents in need and offering them materials in a small group setting, which meets four to five times a week.

Students also have access to several online programs which aid in the learning of English and math.

Other goals for Aliso include increas ing family engagement and student participation; cultivating a college going culture; monitoring student progress to ensure they are reaching certain bench marks; using the Five Elements of Cul tural Proficiency to develop policies and practices; implementation of MTSS for students who are reading below grade level; providing individual and family counseling and maintaining the school facilities.

Per Weiberg, meeting these goals includes holding ‘literacy nights’ and other similar events to bond families and encourage parent involvement; engaging in group activities that encourage bond ing across different grade levels; holding career and college days and taking col lege field trips to encourage students to consider colleges; asking teachers to use data to determine a student’s needs and engage with parents; providing literature in English and Spanish in classrooms and the school library and providing individual and family counseling to any who need it.

Canalino School had similar goals and strategies as Aliso, Principal Jamie Persoon pointed out. She said she and Weiberg talk “more than once a day in collaborating to make sure the schools are both offering the same things.”

At Carpinteria High School and Mid dle School, each had similar goals of im proving students academic performance, engaging with parents, increasing college readiness, maintaining facilities and im proving the overall school culture.

Ambiguous Loss is Loss

Editor’s Note: Pt. 2 of “Ambiguous Loss is Loss” will continue in next month’s print edition, in the “My Wellness Now” column.

Steve Pearce

02/29/1944 – 11/21/2021

Steve Pearce was born on February 29, 1944, outside of Hespeler, Ontario in Canada, to Mary and Donald Pearce. Steve unexpectedly passed away at home in Carpinteria on Nov. 21, 2021.

In 1955, the Pearce family moved to Santa Barbara. By 1956, he was working at Santa Barbara Boat Rentals in the har bor. His intrigue with being on the water started at age six during a transatlantic voyage to Ireland; at age 12 he gained access to boats, and for over three decades he worked on the water.

People close to Steve often found com fort in his ability to listen. He could sim plify the most complicated of situations

Steve was rarely seen without a book within arm’s reach. Witty and subtle de scribes his humor. One could tell when he was up to something by the twinkle in his eye, a grin or the slightest change in his tone of voice. He was kind. After running 10 miles a day for many years, Steve took on bike riding. His favorite loop was going to Ojai via Hwy 150 and returning along Hwy 1; an easy day was a ride up Gobernador Canyon.

His true delight in life was his wife, Judy. They had a deep and soulful con nection, and were a dynamic balance, harmonizing each other. They shared a love of music (they knew how to cut a rug!) and they had a favorite campground in the eastern Sierras where they would sit, side by side, for a couple of weeks, reading through the crates of books they took with them.

He is survived by his sister, Marny Pearce Smith; his daughter, Sara Killen; stepchildren Kathy Gregory, Tom Polous and Karen Latter; two grandchildren; six step-grandchildren and one step-greatgrandchild.

STEFANIE HERRINGTON ATTORNEY

Grief is subjective and encompasses so very much. The loss of someone to death is one that most know about. How ever, not as many are familiar with the term ambiguous loss.

Pauline Boss coined the term in the late 1970s, through her re search on families of soldiers who were classified as missing in action (MIA). The term has since been expanded; in one of her books “The Myth of Closure,” she described ambiguous loss as “a loss that remains unclear and without official verification or immediate resolution, which may never be achieved.” There’s no clarity about what is going on in most situations, which creates more stress on top of the loss.

Ambiguous loss can be psychological or physical. Physical loss means there’s no body to bury, no proof that the loved one has died and in some cases, there’s no literal death. Catastrophes such as 9/11, where 40% of families still haven’t found their loved ones, is one such exam ple. There are also everyday losses such as breakups, divorce, immigration and income loss.

Psychological loss is when the loved one is physically present, but psycho logically not there. Examples include dementia, addiction and serious mental health conditions. During the pandemic, we experienced the loss of support and comfort from loved ones, of being able to say goodbye to friends when schools closed, of the ability to celebrate or mourn major events like births, graduations, marriages and deaths. We can experience more than one type of ambiguous loss at the same time – for example, having a family member who is addicted to drugs while another family member is absent emotionally because of depression.

mally introduced by Kenneth Doka in 1989; he most recently defined it in his 2000 book as “the kind of grief that is not openly acknowledged, socially val idated, or publicly mourned.” In other words, our grieving doesn’t “fit” in with the larger societies attitude around how to deal with death/ loss. Without others’ support, it is diffi cult to process and express emotions. We might not feel we have the right to grieve and will shrink our emotions since we’re unable to get the support we need. Some examples of disenfran chised grief include experiencing a miscarriage, racial injustices, loss of a friendship, job loss or loss of a pet.

Some causes for disenfranchised grief include:

Job culture: Nurses, therapists, emer gency room staff and caregivers are told “It’s just part of the job.... don’t get caught in those feelings.”

Emotional Expression: When a person reacts differently from what’s expected, such as with relief, no emotion, or ba sically any other emotion from what is expected.

Relationship legitimacy: Losses of those who aren’t spouses or immediate family members such as coworkers, friends, a child of a friend. People may not understand why the relationship was so important to someone that they are grieving in that way.

Unrecognized Relationships: Mourn ing a relationship that no one knows about or mourning someone you never knew. For example, members of the LGBTQ+ communities may not feel safe coming out with the relationship and therefore will feel unsafe grieving the loss in front of outsiders to their community identities. An absent parent may die, and loss is felt, even if they never met that parent.

Taboo Cause: Suicides, drug overdos es, miscarriages or murder.

More recently, research has begun around “personal” ambiguous loss, which is both internal and external. We lose something that affects our relation ship to ourselves; we believe we’re no longer able to be who we used to be Internally, this is caused when some thing about us has disappeared, either physically or psychologically, and it’s deeply upsetting. One example would include a cancer survivor after a double mastectomy. It can also appear with the aging process, where we lose some of the abilities we had when we were younger Externally, this is caused by an external societal source; for example, when someone who has lost their status as a homeowner because of a job loss and inability to pay.

There are three types of grief that can develop from ambiguous loss: frozen, anticipatory and disenfranchised. Frozen grief appears when there is ambiguity of death because of the psychological or physical disappearance. Grief and coping are two factors in frozen ambig uous loss, because there’s no chance to grieve in a typical format – for example, a kidnapping.

Anticipatory grief usually occurs before bereavement (death) and typically will overlap with ambiguous loss. One exam ple is a family who has a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease; the family knows the mental state will only get worse, and so the grieving process begins sooner.

Disenfranchised grief was first for

Non-death: The ambiguous losses I discussed previously. Losing someone who is still alive is something that people may not understand and ask why the grief is so deep if it’s not a death.

I decided to divide this article up into two parts because it was important for people to first understand more about the types of ambiguous loss in hopes that they may better be able to educate others as well. In Pt. 2 of this article, I will discuss the effects grief may have on a person. Additionally, I’ll look at ways to process and heal through these losses, as well as how people may support others going through it as well.

Praise for rejecting solar panel project

Pacific Current Partners, the current owners of Sandpiper Mobile Home Park, is a company that specializes in buying mobile home parks throughout the country. They do so because many are cheap, poorly managed, poorly reg ulated and the return on investment can be enormous.

Their purchase of Sandpiper was any thing but that, especially with our strong rent control laws. So, in order to maximize profits, they decided to construct a huge solar power panel project in the park. They did so without the inclusion of the residents. We had no say in the project and were expected to acquiesce to their demands.

Thankfully, this did not happen be cause a group of concerned residents got together to complain to our Architectural Review Board about the unfairness of it. After a couple of sessions PCP came back to the board with a revised plan that they were certain would be accepted by the board because they had the approval of the California Department of Housing and Community Development. However, they did not expect to run into a group of men that comprise our ARB. This is a board that would not be intimidated and pointed out the many flaws of their proj ect – so many that they were told to shelve and come back with a more realistic and equitable plan.

I wish to commend the ARB for their decision and hard work learning about the project. After input from the residents, they realized immediately that this was a very faulty project and acted accordingly. Solar power is good, but it should never be used just for profit, but for the good of all humanity. However repugnant the use of solar power just for profit is, the smell of money is too strong for PCP to ignore. They will be back.

Turn off faulty lights along 101

Some months ago, I wrote a letter to CVN praising recent infrastructure im provements in Carpinteria, but noted the lack of daytime lighting on the very dark portion of the bike path under the 101. More recently I noticed the lights were on under the freeway, but still inadequate and poorly spaced to be effective during the day. I also noticed all the lights were on along the bike path, beyond the un derpass, 24-7. I called Carpinteria Public Works about this, and they explained the lights under the freeway were Caltrans and the bike path lights were city, but they were all on the same circuit. I was

told they “were working on the problem,” some weeks ago, but today, it’s status quo all lights on all the time, including the ineffective ones under the freeway.

For electrical conservation, during the day, I suggest the mostly ineffective lights under the 101 and useless bike path lights be off until this problem is resolved.

How is $400 a night “affordable”?

The Nov. 7 Carpinteria Planning Com mission Meeting included a Conceptual Review for a potential proposal to convert the building where the Palms Restaurant was located to be a 17-room hotel. As reported in the Nov. 10 CVN (CVN Vol. 29, No. 8), at that meeting, the prospective applicant, Xorin Balbes, made a jaw-drop ping statement about the hotel.

He said that the hotel rooms would cost around $400 a night, which he said is “still affordable to a lot of people, and not excluding anyone.” $400 a night is “not excluding anyone?”

Let’s consider who is included in “any one” and let’s start with the employees at hotels, such as the one he is proposing. Many hotel employees (think cleaning staff, restaurant workers, groundskeep ers) make close to minimum wage (which in California will increase to $15.50 per hour starting in 2023).

It is unimaginable that someone making that wage would drop $800 for a weekend at this hotel. Oh wait, that does not include sales tax or Transient Occupancy Tax that are added to the bill, making it over $950 for a couple nights.

The statement saying this cost is “not excluding anyone” is beyond out of touch. It is an embarrassment and an insult.

Too many rezonings in Carpinteria

I’ve just been looking at Santa Barbara County’s proposed Housing Element Update with amazement! The county pro poses to rezone 12 areas just outside the Carpinteria city limit to allow high-den sity housing. All these areas are outside the established “urban boundary line.”

In the rest of the county, there is just one single property outside of the urban boundary line that’s being proposed for rezoning. That’s ridiculous, unbalanced and unfair! Twelve rezones in Carpinteria and only one other in the entire county! What did we do to deserve that?

Water District secures grants, moves into final design and permitting phase for water purification project

BY ROBERT MCDONALD, GENERAL MANAGER CARPINTERIA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT

The Carpinteria Valley Water District (CVWD) and Carpinteria Sanitary District (CSD) have partnered to develop an advanced water purification facility which will create a drought-resilient water supply for our service area.

It is evident that the district’s existing water supply portfolio is extremely vulnerable during periods of prolonged drought. Lake Cachuma is currently below 32% of its capacity and California water agencies received just 5% of our water allocations this year from the State Water Project (SWP). Equally low or no allocations are expected in the coming years from the SWP.

Our existing water supplies do not provide enough water to meet our customer’s water demand in coming years and to date we have not met our districtwide conservation goals. The Carpinteria Valley Water District has moved from a Stage 2 Drought Emergency to a Stage 3 Drought Emergency as of the Nov. 9 board meeting, reducing the number of landscape watering days from three days per week to two days per week to help conserve additional water.

Irrigating non-functional turf – turf that is solely ornamental and not regularly used for recreation – is still prohibited throughout California for commercial, industrial and institutional (CII) water customers. We have had minimal precipitation and we must manage our water supplies under the assumption that this is the “new normal” until our local and statewide weather conditions prove otherwise.

The Carpinteria Advanced Purification Project (CAPP) will create a source of water that is not dependent on rain and will be a vital water supply when our surface water and imported water supplies become limited.

CAPP replenishes the groundwater basin with water that can be used for drinking. This process is known as indirect potable reuse, or IPR. The project involves taking water that has already been treated at the CSD Wastewater Treatment Plant, purifying it in a new advanced water purification facility and transporting it through its own water system to be stored in the groundwater basin.

This facility would create 1,000 acrefeet per year for the district, which makes up 25% of the annual water demand for our customers. Currently, this water re-

a new water supply, but also help our groundwater basin, the district plans to ask for around $15 million through SGMA funding. It is the goal of the district to keep pursuing grant opportunities to minimize the fi nancial impact of constructing CAPP to its customers.

source is treated and then released into the Pacific Ocean. We would be capturing this local water source and maximizing its use.

In addition to diversifying our water supply portfolio, CAPP will provide overall benefits to the Carpinteria Groundwater Basin (CGB) by helping minimize the risk of seawater intrusion. CAPP will be instrumental in helping us to reach groundwater sustainability under California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). Indirect potable reuse is safe, sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Initially, CAPP was estimated to cost around $30 million dollars; however, inflation has impacted projected construction costs. The project is now estimated to cost around $40 million dollars at this time.

Although this is very unfortunate, it

is important to keep up the momentum and push the project forward to secure a new water supply for our community, especially with no end in sight for our current drought. Without rain, our current sources of water are not being replenished and this additional source of water is being released into the ocean every day. We have the methods, technology, plans and a site selected to make this project happen. Over the course of the next three years, we plan to finalize CAPP’s design, secure the required permits, pursue funding opportunities and construct the project.

So far, the district has acquired a grant from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in the amount of $9.5 million through the Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse program that provides funding for the planning, design, and construction of water recycling and reuse projects. Through the Clean Water State’s Revolving Fund (SRF) loan program, we were allocated an additional $10 million in grants for Recycled Water Projects. We are also hoping to receive $1.1 million through an Integrated Regional Water Management Planning (IRWMP) grant that was applied for this year.

In October, a grant became available to assist with meeting SGMA requirements. Since CAPP serves not only to create

We have completed the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements for CAPP and the preliminary design and are moving into the final design and permitting phase. We plan to finalize this process within the next 18 months. Once construction begins, it is estimated to take another 18 months to build the facility, construct the conveyance pipeline and drill the injection well. If all goes according to plan, the facility could be ready by January 2026.

Both websites allow for you to sign up for e-mail updates to monitor project progress. We hope that you will continue to use water wisely.

Temporary parklet program extended until June 2023

BY EVELYN SPENCE

Carpinteria’s temporary parklet pro gram will remain in place until June 30, 2023, after the Carpinteria City Council unanimously voted Monday to extend it.

The program allows local businesses –such as restaurants – to operate in city rightof-way areas and privately-owned outdoors spaces. It was first adopted in May 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Since the program’s launch, 10 permits have been issued for businesses to oper ate in city right-of-way spaces, while 21 have been issued for businesses operat ing in privately-owned outdoors spaces, according to city staff. The city continues to waive fees related to the program, staff confirmed.

The program was extended Monday to allow staff time to finalize the regula tions for a permanent parklet program

Public expresses concern over county housing plans

During public comment at Monday night’s Carpinteria City Council meeting, a few commenters expressed concern over the recently released Santa Barbara County proposed housing element, in cluding Carpinteria Valley Association President Mike Wondolowski. The hous ing element looks at ways to meet future housing needs by rezoning areas within the county, including in the Carpinteria Valley.

Wondolowski urged the council to publicly respond to the plan, which involves rezoning more than 10 areas within Carpinteria to meet growing housing needs.

“The unincorporated Carpinteria Val ley shows a shocking number of proposed rezones well outside of our proposed urban boundary line,” Wondolowski said Monday, pointing out the differenc es between the proposed rezones in the Carpinteria Valley and other local cities.

Commenter Gail Marshall also spoke

against the housing element, stating the county was meeting its housing require ments “on the backs of Carpinteria.”

Mayor Wade Nomura expressed his concern over potential effects to Carpin teria, directing staff to work on this issue with legal counsel. “I would be happy to speak on behalf of the city when the time comes,” Nomura said.

Councilmember Al Clark alleged the county was not interested in listening to the city’s opinions on the issue. “We’ve already voiced our… what we feel,” he said. “They’ve ignored us, and they’re ignoring us again.”

The county will hold a public forum on the housing element for the South County on Nov. 17 at 6 p.m., at the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission Hearing Room, located at 123 Anapamu St., Santa Barbara. In-person and online attendance is available.

Council postpones vote on civic/ youth engagement committee

The council postponed its vote on the creation of a civic/youth engagement committee, to allow input from incoming Carpinteria City Councilmember Mónica Solórzano.

Solórzano, who won her seat in last week’s election, will be sworn into the council in December. While all coun cilmembers expressed favor for the creation of a civic/youth engagement committee, they agreed to wait for Solórzano’s opinions. Solórzano, a policy analyst at UC Santa Barbara, has exten sive experience with the Parent Teacher Association at Aliso Elementary School and is a board member on the Carpinteria Education Foundation.

Some form of a youth engagement program, per Assistant City Manager Michael Ramirez, has been on the city’s annual work plan since 2018.

Potential programs discussed include engaging students with law enforcement, such as through the Police Activities League; summer internships at city hall; and the creation of youth commissions to up involved with government boards, councils and committees.

A civic/youth engagement committee would shape how such programs might look and operate. It would operate until Dec. 31, 2023, unless extended by the council. This item will come back at the Dec. 12, 2022 city council meeting.

in the Downtown T. Those guidelines are expected to come before the city council in January 2023; if permanent program regulations are approved by the city council before June 2023, staff would begin processing parklet permit applications, according to the staff report presented Monday.

This is the fourth extension of the program. The temporary program was previously set to expire in December 2022.

Library hits 1,900 members

The Carpinteria Community Library has nearly 1,900 patrons with an active li brary card, librarian Jody Thomas told the council Monday. She added that the library saw nearly 4,000 people in the library throughout October, with 465 using the Wi-Fi and 650 participating in programs.

The library is still waiting on its new wooden sign, as well as a new rug and furniture for the community room. “(It’s an) ongoing progress,” Thomas said.

The library also received a grant for $5,000 for the Zipbooks program, which allows residents to get books delivered to their homes from Amazon that the library wouldn’t otherwise carry; once the resident is done, they would bring it back to the library, which could then add the book to its collection or resell it.

Thomas stressed that the library is pushing to get households enrolled in free internet in Carpinteria; out of the 1,142 households eligible for free internet in the area, 70% of those are not enrolled in the free internet program.

“We’re working hard on enrolling peo ple on an ongoing basis,” she explained, and urged residents to call the library to see if they are eligible.

The library has also not yet filled its part-time library technician slot, ac cording to Thomas. Applicants must be bilingual in Spanish and English.

construction starting Dec. 4. Caltrans construction crews also have a concrete mixing area by the southern onramp at North Padaro Lane. According to SBRoads, mixing concrete on site saves “an estimated 463,771 truck miles, reduces water use by 400,000 gallons (concrete mixed on-site uses less water), and saves taxpayers between $10-$15 million.”

––Jun Starkey

At the Evans Avenue Undercrossing and southbound off-ramp, work continues on beach-wood surface texture on retaining walls. Work will also continue below the bridge on columns, slope paving and lighting.

Along Highway 101, crews work on a retaining wall that will support the bikeway. Work will also focus on the safety barrier and drainage improvements.

This is an irresistibly fresh and tasty pasta salad featuring orzo pasta. According to the wisegeek.com website: “Orzo pasta is a type of pasta which is made in the shape of a grain of rice. It is often about rice-sized, as well. This pasta is very versatile, and it can be used in a range of recipes. This pasta is very popular in Greece especially, although it is used in other Mediterranean and Middle Eastern nations, and in some parts of Germany as well. The small size can make orzo a very fun pasta to work and cook with.”

As a side salad, this recipe will feed eight hungry adults.

Salad Ingredients:

16 ounces orzo pasta

1 large cucumber (peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces)

8 ounces feta cheese (cut into ½-inch cubes)

8 ounces Kalamata olives (pitted and sliced in half lengthwise) 1 pint grape tomatoes (cut in half lengthwise)

Floating across Europe, and some lessons learned

smaller cities with histories dating back to Roman times. Several, like the German cities Passau and Wertheim, are located between two rivers and flood regularly, and locals point to the markers on the old stone buildings, some 15 or 20 feet high. Through the years they’ve learned to adapt to periodic flooding, often moving to upper floors.

We called it our Last Hurrah, a big travel splurge after the lockdown while Roger and I were still in decent enough shape to manage long walks and cobble stone streets. Six months ago, I booked Viking’s Grand European Tour: Three rivers and four countries in a little over two weeks. As a bonus, our daughter Katie went with us.

Our plane landed in Budapest for a trip on the Danube, Main and Rhine rivers. The evening drive into Budapest from the airport was eerie – miles through dark suburbs, not a single light in streets or houses. The only explanation we got was that power is very expensive. The war fallout from Ukraine has jacked up energy, gas and food prices throughout Europe.

That first day, Roger banged his shin hard on a cement bollard – skin torn, blood flowing down his leg. So, he didn’t get to experience Budapest’s famous thermal baths. There are rivers of hot water under the city and Katie and I got to sample a bath: lots of people cavorting in huge outside pools of hot water with waterfalls and jets. We learned that the Turks had introduced the bathing custom in Hungary.

The Rhine is a dreamy float between fairytale castles and picturesque villag es. Stops were primarily at charming

Many cities were bombed during the war and then completely rebuilt, repli cating the historic structures. We learned that in Wurzburg only six houses were left standing. The Prince-Bishop’s enor mous Baroque palace was also destroyed, but its ceiling fresco (the largest in the world), painted by the Italian master Tiepolo, was saved by an American army lieutenant. John Davis Skilton was one of the “monuments men,” charged with rescuing precious works of art during the war.

The fresco had miraculously survived, but wind and rain were about to collapse its roof. Skilton used his own funds to purchase hard-to-come-by wood and rounded up workers to build a protective roof. A room in the palace is dedicated to his heroic efforts.

In Rothenburg, we learned another story about an American’s daring rescue plan. Dating from the 1200s, the tiny walled city is a remarkable mixture of medieval, Renaissance and Baroque buildings. During the war a Nazi gener al hid there, but Americans learned his location and planned to bomb the city.

The mother of John J. McCloy – who became assistant secretary within the Army – had visited Rothenburg as a young woman and fallen in love with the town. She purchased a painting, hung it on the wall of their home and described the city to young John.

McCloy managed to delay the bomb ing and sent a team of six, carrying a white flag, to negotiate with the general. The general was away, but his subordi nate agreed to surrender, and the unique, historical city was saved.

Around Koblenz, the Moselle valley vineyards are planted on precipitously steep terraced hillsides. We sipped Ries lings while a vintner described how the slate soil gathers heat, with vine roots that reach down 50 feet. Romanian workers harvest the grapes.

More than a century of work has gone into joining the three rivers, which are major shipping lanes. We were lifted up and down 67 locks and passed scores of barges (long and low to get under the antiquated bridges) on their way to cities and ports.

The boat dropped us in Amsterdam where we stayed a few days. Much of the Netherlands is below sea level, and con tinuous pumping is required to prevent flooding. We visited some busily working windmills and learned that millers pass

THE SEAWITCH SAYS

AMY OROZCO

Dear Amy O, How do you bring up the subject of a non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner to a very traditional family? What’s to be grateful about an animal carcass as the table centerpiece while trying to choke down a pint of corn syrup masquerading as a pie? May I call in sick knowing I’m going to find the entire menu sickening?

family dynamics, but in my family, some one is cornered into hosting because they have the biggest house. Or sometimes, someone rises to the occasion of hosting, whose honors include cleaning up after anywhere between 17–33 people and ca joling others to bring certain items. (For example, cranberries, but it’s OK if that someone wants to forage for said berry himself, hunt high and low for the nec essary accompanying condiments, and serve it on mom’s crystal dish that Sister #2 still maintains was her birthright but won’t bring that up, again. Sister #2 will still drain two bottles of wine on her own while refusing to touch, pass or taste from said crystal dish.)

Signed, Gag

Me

Dear Gag Me, There is no one answer to the how of bringing up a non-traditional Thanks giving meal. There is one answer to the when of bringing up the subject, and that is before the third Thursday of November, unless you’re planning for the following year.

I’m not a big fan of standard Thanks giving fare either. I find it kind of bland, boring and geared for puritanical taste buds, unlike the hot and spicy ones de veloped in Southern California, where machismo is measured by chili pepper-in duced sweat and sophistication gauged by the empirical knowledge of different world cuisines.

To your question: How does one bring up the subject of a non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner? I don’t know your

Either way, the lucky host plays mae stro (maestra, in the case of Sister #2) of the meal. You, my friend, make contact with the maestro – better yet make con tact with the entire family – and let them know how you would like to contribute to the holiday meal. You may want to add this freedom to be proactive to your Thanksgiving grateful list.

Should your wishes be ignored or voted down, then certainly it’s within your rights and prerogative to come up with your own Thanksgiving narrative, or as you called it, “call in sick.” For the record, you are free to call in sick at any time, with or without contacting maestro. Just know that puts you on the fast track to being Sister #2.

Dear Amy O,

It’s that time of year again – the invita tion to a tree-trimming party that I don’t want to attend is right around the corner. Already I’m rehearsing polite declines in my head, while at the same time knowing I’ll cave. The host calls it “our tradition.” In my head I say, “No it’s your tradition,

and my attendance is a command perfor mance.” The party is a nice enough event. I like the holidays and don’t understand why I am being so contrary. Must I attend for tradition’s sake?

Signed, I’m not a Grinch

Dear I’m not a Grinch, I agree with you. Traditions are not to be foisted on others. And to answer your question, “No, you don’t need to attend for traditions’ sake.” Especially since you don’t consider this your tradition.

I’m wondering if what’s bugging you is, in fact, attending the tree-trimming party. You say it’s a nice enough event and don’t mention it interfering with other holiday activities. Maybe it’s more the assumption of your attendance. Perhaps you really would like to participate more in the planning and executing of the party, such as, “How about this year, we don’t string popcorn, I still have scars from last year’s festivity.”

When we find ourselves being con trary for contrary’s sake, that’s a signal to keep scratching the surface. Scratch, scratch, scratch some more and you’ll find what really does bother you about being included in this holiday tradition not of your making.

I’m glad to hear you enjoy the hol iday season. I do, too. Remember that many people don’t, and I’m not talking a grumpy “bah humbug.” It is an extremely painful time for some and even suicidal for others. Let’s make sure to have a second helping (at least) of patience and understanding.

F. For the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety, the Council finds that it is necessary to adopt this Urgency Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 744, as amended by Ordinance Nos. 746, 749, and 754 that established the Temporary COVID-19 Outdoor Business Permit Program, for all of the reasons set forth in the recitals above, which and are incorporated herein by reference.

Section 4. Amendment.

A. This Urgency Ordinance hereby amends and supersede Section 4.A to read as follows:

“A. “Director of Emergency Services” has the same meaning as specified in CMC Chapter 2.40, including his/ her designee(s), and refers to the City Manager, including his/her designee(s), following the termination of the Proclamation of Local Emergency for the COVID-19 Pandemic.

B. This Urgency Ordinance hereby amends and supersedes Section 11 of Ordinance No. 744 to read as follows:

“Section 11. Effective Date and Termination. This Urgency Ordinance shall become effective immediately and shall remain in effect until 11:59 pm on June 30, 2023, or it is terminated by the City Council.”

WHEREAS, many events countywide were and continue to be canceled, postponed, or implement social distancing due to the orders and recommendations at all levels of government to restrict large gatherings amid concerns over the spread of the COVID-19 virus, and these cancellations, postponements and social distancing cause a loss in revenue for the associated vendors, organizations and businesses, loss of income for the people who would have staffed the events, as well as lost revenue for surrounding local businesses that rely on such events to bring patrons to their businesses; and

WHEREAS, many businesses citywide were either not permitted to remain open or required to severely restrict activities, causing significant adverse financial impacts. Also, State and County

WHEREAS, on January 10, 2022, a peak in the community case rate of COVID-19, was observed in the County due to the spread of a the significantly more transmissible SARS-CoV-1 B.1.1.529 “Omicron” variant of COVID-19; and WHEREAS, on February 7, 2022, the California Department of Public Health updated their guidance for the Use of Face Masks to take effect on February 16, 2022, requiring unvaccinated person to wear masks in all indoor public settings, requiring universal masking in only specified settings, and recommending continued indoor masking when the risk may be high; and

WHEREAS , on February 16, 2022, the County Health Officer issued County Health Officer Order 2022-10.1 Superseding and Replacing Health Officer Order No. 2022-10, which requires unvaccinated person to wear masks in all indoor public settings, requires universal masking only in specified settings and recommends continued indoor masking when risk may be high consistent with CDPH guidance; and

WHEREAS, as of April 15, 2022, the COVID-19 case and hospitalization rates in the County have declined and community transmission was categorized as “Low” based on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (“CDC”) indicators; and

WHEREAS, on April 25, 2022, the City Council approved and adopted urgency Ordinance No. 754, amending Ordinance No. 744 and superseding Ordinance Nos. 746 and 749 extending the Temporary COVID-19 Outdoor Business Permit to remain in effect until 11:59 pm on December 31, 2022; and

WHEREAS, COVID-19 case and hospitalization rates the County may rise at any time, especially given the anticipated increase in travel and events during the winter season, that may require further social distancing measures and impact local businesses; and

Section 2. Findings. The Council hereby finds, determines and declares that this Urgency Ordinance adoption pursuant to Government Code Section 36937 is necessary because:

A. Commercial activity and businesses are essential to a vibrant and healthy community, and this Temporary COVID-19 Outdoor Business Permit Program provides flexibility to local businesses to re-open and remain open while protecting the health, safety, and welfare of members of the public during and following the COVID-19 pandemic; and

B. Without the amendment and extension of the Urgency Ordinance, there is an increased risk of a substantial impact to local businesses, causing further disruption by delaying local economic recovery, and imperiling the lives or property of inhabitants of the City; and

C. The Downtown “T” Encroachment Permit Program was established for local businesses within the Downtown “T” in order to apply for a permit to conduct certain business operations within the City right-of-way, which provided a framework for the portion of the Temporary COVID-19 Outdoor Business Permit Program applicable to the City right-of-way and other privatelyowned property, but requires certain modifications to streamline the approval and implementation of permits with all due speed during and following the COVID-19 pandemic; and

D. CMC Chapter 14.64 establishes a temporary use permit to allow businesses to engage in temporary uses on privatelyowned property that provides a framework for the Temporary COVID-19 Outdoor Business Permit Program applicable to privately-owned property, but requires certain modifications to streamline the approval and implementation of permits with all due speed during and following the COVID-19 pandemic; and

E. The City Council recognizes the Temporary COVID-19 Outdoor Business Permit Program may continue to require that certain temporary exceptions to the requirements of CMC Chapter 12.02, the Downtown “T” Encroachment Permit Program, and CMC Chapter 14.64 may be necessary, as determined by the Director of Emergency Services and City Manager through, additional rules and regulations, as described in Section 6 herein; and

SECTION 9. Public ation. The City Clerk is directed to cause this urgency Ordinance to be published in the manner required by law.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED on November 14, 2022, by the following vote:

THROWBACK

Mapquest 1880s

In 1934, The Carpinteria Chronicle, a short-lived local publica tion, printed a map depicting the young town of Carpinteria in the 1880s. The little seaside enclave stretches only as far north east as today’s Carpinteria Avenue, referred to on the map as “Overland Route to Los Angeles.” While the town has ballooned since the 1800s, familiar streets like Maple, Walnut, Palm and Linden avenues have held their ground for the last 120 years.

The Chronicle used the map to pinpoint 10 of the town’s first buildings: 1) A “Chinese wash house,” 2) The home of S.H. Olmstead, 3) The Faucet property, 4) A stagecoach stop and stables, 5) “Wardholme,” the home of the Ward family and a private girls school, 6) The home of minister T.G. McLean, 7) L.B. Hogue’s home, situated in the middle of a 15-acre nectarine orchard, 8) John Doerr’s butcher shop, 9) Melyck’s General Store and 10) The Sawyer home.

“The Stranger”

CVN

DUNCAN’S

REEL DEAL

MATT DUNCAN

Henry Teague (Sean Harris) is gruff and not particularly well put together. But, other than that, he seems like a nor mal guy down on his luck. He takes the bus. He looks for work. He’s lonely. He doesn’t have a lot going for him. He’s a stranger to all.

Except the police (in Australia, where this “based on a true story” movie is set) think he killed somebody. Eight years prior, a teenage boy went missing. They never found his body. At the time, they questioned Teague, but he had an alibi, and certain other facts didn’t support his arrest. So, off he went.

Some still think he did it. Detective Se nior Constable Kate Rylett (Jada Alberts), for example, is sure he’s their man. And since the case had such a high profile in their state, and even in the country as a whole, she and her team are allowed the resources to investigate further.

What they do is set up a hugely elabo rate sting operation, sometimes called the “Mr. Big procedure.” An undercover po lice officer, Paul Emery (Steve Mouzakis), starts by chatting up Teague on a long bus ride. They become buds. Then Emery introduces Teague to another undercover cop, appropriately named Mark Frame (Joel Edgerton). They become buds too.

Frame and Emery introduce Teague to a whole bunch of other undercover cops who pretend to be a criminal organization

that would like Teague to work for them. Quite an elaborate ruse.

The main point of the ruse is to get Teague to out himself as the murderer of eight years past. The way the cops/mafi osos put it is: Hey Teague, we’ve got to be able to trust you. So, make sure you tell us everything. We don’t care what you’ve done. We just don’t want to be blindsided. Plus, we value honesty.

At first, Teague is cagey. He’s also a pretty quiet guy, and sometimes a pretty weird guy – prone to bursts of creepy, theatrical display – so it takes a while to get him set up. Despite his growing connections and budding friendships, with Frame in particular, Teague remains a mystery, a stranger to all.

“The Stranger” (now streaming on Netflix) is classified as a “thriller,” but don’t think of it as a thrill like going on a rollercoaster; think of it more like the thrill of reading Dostoevsky or Kafka.

The movie is slow, atmospheric, murky and sometimes confusing.

However, it is, in its own way, spell binding. One particularly fascinating feature of this film is that, up until the very end, you have no idea what’s going to happen, how it’s going to turn out (unless you read the book it’s based on). This isn’t because of any clues in the plot (filmmaker Thomas M. Wright prefers to keep the audience mostly in the dark), but just because of how the film is made.

It’s an impressive accomplishment in form. It’s the form – the setting, the lighting, the sounds, the way characters talk and so on – not the content of the film that drives the mystery of it. You think, “What’s going on!?” But this feels as much a question for the filmmaker as it does for the characters in the story.

And the question isn’t just one of confusion. Our sentiments are toyed with, pulled in opposite directions. Teague is unpolished with long hair, a big beard, a little dirty looking, a bit crass and not well spoken. And at times he can come off as eccentric, even creepy, like the kind of character who could have “done it.”

But then you think, “Are we just being set up? Is the film just revealing our bi ases?” Because you might think Teague

is also a sympathetic character – sweet, lonely, desiring friendship, loyal to the few friends he has (who, kinda sadly, turn out to be setting him up). And you might think that the cops, despite whatever good intentions they may have, are in the wrong. A lot of what they do sure looks like entrapment. These tensions carry on right up until the end.

Again, the accomplishment of “The Stranger” is how it tells a story, builds a drama, pushes your feelings this way and that, with cinematic technique rather than explicit narrative. This is what gets under the skin. Sometimes it’s the look of a guy, the sound of his voice, that time he freaked out in the car, that time he did a silly dance, that makes him known to you, makes you think what you think of him, or, in some cases, makes you won der what else is going on underneath the surface.

“The Stranger” is rated TV-MA.

Matt Duncan, a former Coastal View News editor, has taken physical but not emotional leave from Carpinteria to be a philosophy professor at Rhode Island College. In his free time from philosophizing, Duncan enjoys chasing his kids around, watching movies and updating his movie review blog, duncansreel deal.blogspot.com.

It’s an impressive accomplishment in form. It’s the form – the setting, the lighting, the sounds, the way characters talk, and so on – not the content of the film that drives the mystery of it.

Carpinteria squad wins Friday Night Lights championship

BY RYAN P. CRUZ • COURTESY PHOTOS

They may be small, but a group of third and fourth graders from Carpinteria played some big-time flag football in Santa Barbara’s Friday Night Lights league, winning the division championship in dramatic fashion and bringing home the trophy in their first year together.

The Chargers squad went 4-4 in the regular season, but in both the semi-final and championship game on Nov. 4, the team came through with late-game heroics to claim the season title.

In the semi-final matchup, the Chargers

scored on a deep touchdown pass from their own side of the field on the last play of the game, setting up a gamewinning extra-point pass in the back of the end zone to send them into the finals.

Under the lights at San Marcos High School, the Chargers scored a touchdown in the last two minutes of the championship game and sealed the league title with a final defensive stop to run out the clock.

The championship run was led by

coaches Christopher Grewe, Bass Ham dy and Josh Peterson. Grewe said coach Peterson was a mix between “being the Bill Belichick mastermind on the field” and “the Tony Robbins of motivation and positive energy” for everybody else, leading the team with four core values: “Have fun. Work hard. Try your best. Never give up.”

“These were set for the kids at the beginning of the season. and they lived up to those values throughout the year,” Grewe said.

Coaches said their favorite part of the season was watching the kids light up with excitement when one of their teammates had an “unexpected hero” moment.

“We had one player score their first touchdown on a pick-six in the final regular season game and another player score their first on a catch and run the entire length of the field in the champion ship game,” Grewe said.

Several of the players have deep roots in both sports and in the Carpinteria community. Coach Peterson – whose son, Jack Maverick Peterson, is on the team – played Division 1 football at Marist College; Rachel Ransom is the daughter of Cate football coach and Athletic Director Wade Ransom; and the team’s youngest player Crush Trumble is the younger brother of Carpinteria High School quarterback Talon Trumble.

The coaches thanked the team’s finan cial sponsor – locally based construction finance automation company Briq – and Cate School, which allowed the team to practice on their fields each week.

SHORT STOPS

BY RYAN P. CRUZ

Carpinteria cross country closes out season at CIF

Members of Carpinteria’s cross coun try team finished their season at the CIF prelims at Mt. San Antonio College on Nov. 12, with two Warriors setting new records in their final race of their high school careers.

The boys team qualified for the pre lims as a team; senior Belen Herrera was the sole member of the girls team to qualify as an individual. The boys com pleted the day 11th overall, and although no one advanced to the finals, seniors Herrera and Hugo Alvarado were able to close out with great performances.

“Seniors Belen Herrera and Hugo Al varado ran aggressive races and put it all out there today,” said Carpinteria coach Angel Silva. “They were not intimidated and ran up front from the get-go to se cure course personal records. I am very proud of all our kids and the girls and boys teams’ performances this season!”

Herrera’s time of 22:33 was the best time she had clocked at that course, and

Alvarado set his own personal best with a time of 18:10. This season also marked the first time a Carpinteria boys cross country team had qualified since the inception of the Citrus Coast League in 2017.

Carpinteria Athletic Director Pat Cooney extended a big “Warrior Cheer” for coaches Angel Silva, Leonardo Arroyo, Weldon Nomura, Bernardo Cardona and Noe Gomez for “providing such a positive education-based athletics program.”

Warriors kick-off winter sports with girls soccer

Now that fall sports have come to an end, it’s time for winter sports at Carpinteria High School. This week, girls and boys soccer will get the action started, followed by girls water polo and both boys and girls basketball.

On Monday, veteran coaches Lucy Carleton and Freddy Martinez returned to the pitch for the girls soccer team’s first game of the season against Orcutt Academy at home at Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium.

Orcutt got on the board first when a defensive breakdown led to an early goal in the first six minutes of the game, but Carpinteria would answer back just five min utes later off a free kick from Sophia Mora played by Ashley Verduzco, who finished with the goal.

Orcutt took the lead again when an errant pass to Carpinteria’s goalkeeper left the net wide open in the dying minutes of the first half.

The Warriors would tie the game midway through the second half off an equal izing goal from junior striker Isela Zamora, which would be the last score in a 2-2 tie.

“I was pleased with the overall performance of the team in this first match of the season,” said coach Martinez. “Some great performances from midfielders Sophia Mora and Ashley Verduzco give me confidence that given time we will be making a mark in league play.”

Carpinteria will play a rematch against Orcutt – this time in Orcutt – on Wednesday before heading to Rio Mesa for a Friday Night matchup.

New boys soccer coach Gerry Rodriguez will make his debut as head coach with a few scrimmages this week before the team’s season opener at Ventura on Nov. 30.

Also making a debut is first-year boys basketball coach Jackson Hall, who will open the season hosting Thacher and Foothill Tech at home this week.

On the girls side, longtime coach Henry Gonzalez will open the basketball season with a three-day tournament hosted at Santa Maria High School Nov. 17-19.

And finally, coach Jon Otsuki and the girls water polo team will open the year with a friendly crosstown scrimmage against Cate before the true season opener at home against Royal on Friday.

Cate cross country qualifies for CIF finals

The Cate School girls and boys teams had outstanding days at the CIF prelims at Mt. San Antonio College, with both advancing to the Southern Section Finals on Nov. 19.

The girls finished second in their heat, while the boys team finished in first. Both made the cut for the top 16 qualifying teams, with the girls ranked fourth and boys ranked third heading into the finals.

The top seven teams at the finals qualify for the State Championships in Fresno on Nov. 26. At the prelims, five out of seven girls and six out of seven boys set new personal records at the course.

“It is so exciting to see their hard work paying off, they are peaking at the right time, and we are optimistic going into next weekend’s finals,” said Cate coach Tim Weir.
