County Supes adopt housing element update

The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors adopted the county’s Housing Element Update 2023-2031 (HEU) at its hearing on Tuesday, Dec. 5, according to Kelsey Buttitta, public information officer for the county.

California requires the county’s Housing Element to accommodate 2,818 very low, low- and moderate-income units. The county submitted the draft HEU to the state Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) for review on March 31.

After receiving preliminary comments from the state on June 30, the county worked with the state to address its questions and comments over the summer and submitted a formal revised draft on September 22.

For this cycle, the California HCD required Santa Barbara County to identify sites to accommodate 5,664 new housing units in unincorporated portions of Santa Barbara County between 2023 and 2031. This is an eight-fold increase from the last cycle, Buttitta said. This breakdown attempts to address the current jobs-housing imbalance.

The final HEU, Buttitta said, includes a program that directs the county to study the feasibility of developing a Local Preference Housing program that prioritizes people who live or work within Santa Barbara County, and who those wish to rent or purchase affordable units.

“This Housing Element cycle was more complex than any previous cycle with hundreds of pages of requirements and instruction,” said Planning and Development Director Lisa Plowman in a press release. “I am very proud of the job our team did producing a document that the state found in substantial compliance very quickly, and that identified more sites than required so the Board of Supervisors will have a range of options to choose from at hearings next year on the rezones.”

The draft HEU with all revisions tracked can be viewed at: countyofsb.org/3177/ Housing-Element-Update.

County launches STAY for suicide awareness

The Santa Barbara County Department of Behavioral Wellness has launched STAY, a campaign designed to raise awareness for suicide, especially around the holiday season.

The STAY campaign was created to “educate the community on suicide awareness, including the signs and symptoms seen in someone who may be thinking about suicide,” according to Suzanne Grimmesey, the chief of strategy and community engagement for the Santa Barbara County Department of Behavioral Wellness. “STAY also encourages those feeling alone and struggling to find what matters, find who matters, get help and support and to STAY a little longer.”

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please reach out for support. For assistance accessing Behavioral Wellness services, call the 24/7 Behavioral Wellness Access Line at (888) 868-1649. Or, call or text 988.

Dear Friends and Patrons of The Alcazar, Debbie Nomura: As the new Executive Director of the Alcazar, I am immensely grateful for the warm welcome I've received. Our mission is ambitious: to establish the Alcazar as a premier event venue and a hub of entertainment and talent development along the Central Coast. We aim to present a diverse array of performing arts – theatre, concerts, speaker series, comedy shows, films, and more. Central to our vision is showcasing our incredible local talent and inviting artists from other regions to share their art with us.

I'm particularly passionate about nurturing young talent.

Drawing inspiration from the Sydney Opera House's commitment to young performers, I'm eager to create similar opportunities for our local children and schools.

Mike Lazaro: Most people in Carpinteria know me for my involvement in local events the Avocado Festival, Rods and Roses, and our festive parades, but the Alcazar holds a special place in my heart.

Fourteen years ago, I was part of the effort to transform this theatre into the Carpinteria Community Theatre. Together with Asa Olsson, we've brought numerous events to our community, and as we approach our 100th year, there's much to be done for the Alcazar Revival.

Thanks in great part to our dear friend John Wullbrandt and his team, we’ve made significant progress in restoring the theatre, including painting the Proscenium Arch and Juliet Balconies. Our next steps include making our theatre a sustainable green space, upgrading our electrical systems, enhancing our sound and lighting equipment, a new website, new mics and more.

Joint Message: We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported the theatre this past year our volunteers, donors, customers, and community input session participants. Your contributions have been invaluable.

As we look forward to 2024, we invite you to join us in this journey. There's much more we aspire to achieve, including upgrading our technical equipment and continuing our restoration efforts. Every donation, whether big or small, helps us move closer to our vision of a vibrant, sustainable theatre that serves as a cultural landmark in Carpinteria.

With your support, we can make the Alcazar a premier destination for entertainment, education, and community events. Together, let's make it a reality.

Happy Holidays to all,

Debbie & Laz P.S. – Each donation you make plays a crucial role in achieving our goals, aligning with our commitment to local sourcing and embodying the #Carpstrong spirit. As a reminder, the Alcazar Theatre is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (Tax ID # 95-3565433), which means your contributions are tax-deductible. This not only supports a noble cause but also offers you the benefit of a tax deduction.

CITY BEAT Michael Ramirez sworn in as the new city manager

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

BY ATMIKA IYER

The Carpinteria City Council and attendees of the Dec. 11 council meeting broke out into raucous applause as Carpinteria’s new City Manager Michael Ramirez walked up to the seated council to take his oath and officially begin his service to the city.

“I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and I will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which I’m about to enter,” Michael Ramirez swore, and with that final line, became Carpinteria’s new city manager.

Prior to a small break in the meeting for photos, Ramirez shared a few words of gratitude with the council and an audience full of family and friends.

“The city manager profession is one where we really all rely on one another,” Ramirez said. “We all have our things that we’re experts at and not, and we all rely on each other for guidance and we have a former Carpinteria employee here who is now the city manager of Goleta Robert Nezbit. So thankful to have fellow peers here.”

He went on to thank city staff for their support and faith.

“All my staff that are here, I had the pleasure of addressing them this morning for the first time as city manager. I bribed

Ultimately, I try to build that same trust with you all, the council, and that means nothing without the trust and

faith of the staff.”

Recently retired city manager Dave Durflinger was also present in the audience to show support for his successor.

“Taking a very long retirement from city council meetings, I brought Dave

back to be here who was my most constant mentor over the last two years,” Ramirez said. “It was a great sign of a mentor passing on the baton. We even took some staged pictures before the city council meeting of him passing on a baton for me – those will be funny pictures, I’m sure.”

Mayor Al Clark welcomed Ramirez into his new position, calling him a “known commodity.”

“Those other city managers we had that were vying for the job, we had an hour with them, but we had two years with Michael,” Clark said. “He’s put in a very productive two years, and we know him very well. We’re going to be in very good shape, it’s a great opportunity.”

Ramirez then took photos with the council, his daughters and other colleagues and friends who were there to support his professional transition.

Ramirez will be serving as Carpinteria’s city manager while continuing to fulfill the responsibilities of assistant city manager and filling in as the interim director of parks, recreation and community service. Recruitment for assistant city manager and director of parks, recreation and community services was approved by the council, and will begin as soon as this week or next.

Council approves two alternates for Ad Hoc Harbor Seal Advisory Committee

The City Council amended the composition of the Ad Hoc Harbor Seal Advisory committee by adding two alternate positions filled by community members Randall Moon and Cynthia Steen during its Monday night meeting.

The committee formed this past September after the July 2023 Harbor Seal Rookery Report which outlined concerns about land degradation and human impact on the harbor seal population.

Alternates are required to be present at all meetings and would have voting powers if a public member of the committee were absent. Designation of “first alternate” would be chosen by lottery then rotate between the existing alternate members.

The two community members that applied for the position spoke to the council during public comment.

“As a Carpinteria resident who moved here in large part because of the proximity to the Harbor Seal Rookery, I’m requesting that I be considered for one of the two open spots on the ad hoc harbor seal

committee,” Moon said. “I believe I’d be effective in helping the committee meet its goals of identifying and mitigating factors that lead to habitat degradation and to seal disturbances.”

The second and final applicant, Steen, said that the committee is largely composed of people with a scientific background while she could bring the perspective of project management.

“My background in project management I think brings a unique factor to help with process, setting priorities, goals, timelines – that kind of thing,” Steen said.

Councilmember Roy Lee nominated both Moon and Steen to fill the alternate positions. Councilmember Mónica Solórzano was less inclined to pick the two applicants who came to the meeting, wanting to know more about the backgrounds of other applicants prior to making a decision.

“I would agree with Councilmember Lee. Showing that you care enough to come here and present your case – I’d be in favor of moving these two forward,” Councilmember Wade Nomura said.

The motion passed unanimously.

Council receives annual comprehensive financial report

The council received an overview of Carpinteria’s annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year, which ended on June 30, from the city’s Finance Manager Gilbert Punsalan. The report highlighted zero or positive fund balances for all city funds.

The staff report explained that the city received “an unmodified (‘clean’) opinion of the financial statements in the ACFR,” meaning the auditors’ assessment concluded that “the financial position of the city in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.”

The report itself included the Annual Comprehensive Finance Report (ACFR), a report from independent auditors at Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott LLP, a report from independent accountants and

a letter to those charged with governance.

According to the staff report, “the purpose of the annual financial audit is to determine if the city’s financial reporting has been presented fairly and whether the city has complied with applicable laws and regulations.”

Punsalan announced that for the 25th consecutive year, Carpinteria was awarded a certificate of achievement for excellence in financial reporting from the government finance officers association for the 2021-22 fiscal year. He

explained that the awards are always a year behind, and that the city expects to be awarded the same certificate for its 2022-23 ACFR. According to Punsalan, the city ended the last fiscal year with a balance of $16.7 million for its general funds, which is an increase of $1.3 million from the previous fiscal year. The overall combined fund balance was $22.6 million, $2.5 million higher than the budgeted end balance.

The council unanimously approved and filed the report.

Protect our open space

I know I’m not alone in feeling overwhelmed, fearful and powerless by our fast paced world. I also know I’m not alone in believing that Carpinteria is a wonderful, unique small beach town. Living here has given me comfort and security for the last 26 years. But unfortunately, “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” as Bob Dylan put it.

A 72-room Via Real hotel project has been approved. Two additional hotel projects, the Surfliner Inn and The Farm, have been proposed adding another 139 rooms to the existing 594…that’s 805 total! “Carpinteria currently has seven hotels, with 594 rooms that keep a 68.8% average occupancy rate in 2023,” (CVN Vol. 30 No. 11). Absurd!

Carpinteria will be hit hard by the state’s housing mandates: The Density Bonus Law, Housing Accountability Act and ADU update and Senate Bill 897.

A big concern is the county’s proposed three-story, 173-unit Bailard Avenue housing project. This project will destroy valuable farmland. The state has removed many zoning restrictions, taking away local control of the planning process. Population will increase and infrastructure won’t. Not pretty!

Our local infrastructure is already taxed with traffic, parking and water conservation issues to name a few. Read Wondolowski’s article “Truisms Are Not Always True,” (Vol. 30 No. 11). He ends with, “To address our problems, including housing, we must look into the root causes for the issues we face and not buy into the idea that building more of something is the answer to every problem.” Yes! We are citizens of Carpinteria, Santa Barbara County, California and the United States of America. We should be a part of our governments’ decision making processes. Don’t let the developers win again! Let’s get involved and work together to keep Carp, Carp! We must protect our Bluffs, views, farm land and remaining open space!

shows barking noise from dog parks can be a significant nuisance in residential areas (Utley, 1988; Sales, 1997; Senn, 1975; Fielding, 2008). A study of thousands of noise complaints found that two-thirds were about amplified music or barking dogs (Utley, 1988).

Carpinteria confirmed the problem with the El Carro dog park experiment.

Even before the dog park’s upcoming relocation to Monte Vista Park, barking dogs were already a source of complaints

in the neighborhood, as reported in the Villa Del Mar newsletter. Yet, Mr. Twohy dismissed dog barking problems and pointed to the real culprit: the “piercing noises of happy children and the many parties and play they engage in.”

Worse yet, C-DOG President Van Fleisher reported that dog park supporters laughed at the prospect of dog noise at Monte Vista Park being a problem because of neighborhood noise from parties, games and…Mariachi bands! (Vol. 30 No.

11). A dog whistle conveying that immigrant neighbors are noisier than barking dogs is ironic, false and offensive. Ultimately, nothing can support a dog park in the wrong location. Unverified and insensitive justifications undermine the cause they aim to serve. So, the creative energy should simply be spent finding a suitable location.

New generation protects open space

Thank you to the new generation of activists who have committed their time and energy to preserving the open space behind Tee Time from development. Possibly losing the opportunity to see heron and egret up close on morning walks is a sad thought. I’m confident the Citizens for the Carpinteria Bluffs will succeed in getting the job done especially with help from the seasoned veterans.

Dog park fact check

Dubious claims continue to be made in support of the dog park. For instance, if it were true, Kevin Twohy’s claim that Carpinteria is the only California coastal city without a dog park would make our city sound deprived (CVN Vol. 30 No. 12).

But there are ten other such cities.

As for Mr. Twohy’s claim that dog park noise is rarely a problem, research

Mary Solano 01/09/1936 – 12/01/2023

Mary Solano lost her heart health battle with her daughters by her side, joining her husband Mel in Heaven on Friday, Dec. 1, prior to her 88th birthday. She wanted to spend her final healing in her adored and loved home.

She was born Mary Ellen Olivares in Alhambra, California on January 9, 1936, to Ventura Olivares and Angela Cabrera Olivares. Her parents later moved to Carpinteria, where she lived out her younger years.

Shortly before she was 19 years old, Mary moved to the beautiful city of Santa Barbara. She got a job with General Telephone Company on Chapala Street, where she continued to work and proudly retired 35 years later.

She married Conrad Escareno June 23, 1956, and had 3 daughters, Patricia, Teresa and Carolyne. They built a home together on Manitou Road. They vacationed at Bass Lake with friends and family for two weeks each year. They were married for 21 years.

She reconnected with an old high school friend, dated briefly and married Mel Solano on Nov. 10, 1990. She lived an enjoyable life with Mel and their dogs, Bubbles (Shitzu) and Buddy (Maltese).

They loved to travel in their fifth wheel and camp, where they enjoyed outdoor fresh air.

Mary loved to watch the Dodgers. She could name every player, and knew their entire history as athletes. If she went to a Dodger game, she was dressed for the occasion in Dodger blue. Mary also loved the holiday season to be together with the family.

After Mel lost his battle with cancer in 2015, Mary had to readjust to living by herself. She continued her interest in watching every Dodger game. She took up gardening, planting fresh vegetables each spring season and becoming an expert at growing. She always accepted an invite to any casino, whether it meant Chumash Casino, Laughlin, Las Vegas, or Bluewater Casino in Parker, A.Z. Mary leaves behind her daughters Pat Carroll (Rob), Teresa Spaulding (Fred Bischoff), Carolyne Espindola (Pete); and her grandchildren, Kevin and Tianna Carroll, Amanda (Lou) and Brandon Spaulding, Paulette (Nikki) and Lauren Espindola.

She also leaves behind her darling sisters Rosie Rosales and Asuncion Romero, whom she talked to daily for hours, and Buddy.

Mary was preceded in death by her Olivares brothers: John, Silvario, Thomas and Tony.

The family will be inviting all to join her Celebration of Life on Saturday, Jan. 13, 2024 at noon, at the Santa Barbara Woman’s Club, 670 Mission Canyon Road, Santa Barbara. Wearing Dodger blue clothing is highly encouraged.

In honoring her wishes, we will be placing her ashes with Mel and Bubbles at the Carpinteria Cemetery in a private ceremony.

Special Thanks to VNA Hospice Care that helped nurse Mary in the comfort of her home in her last days. And Thank You to Dr. Aragon, for his diligent efforts in her time of illness.

We hope that everyone is aware of the Carpinteria Advanced Purification Project (CAPP) which is now in the final design phase.

This exciting project will soon be recovering over one million gallons of purified water per day that is currently discharged to the Pacific Ocean. the vision of keeping over 400,000 cubic yards of valuable organic material out of local landfills each year. Its pioneering resource recovery operation opened in 1995 as one of the first in California and currently produces Harvest Blend Compost from composted biosolids, residential green waste and agricultural materials like grape pomace, the skins and seeds once considered a waste product from area wineries.

Processes that make resource recovery possible meet rigorous standards.

Each batch of Harvest Blend Compost is tested to ensure it meets all county, state and federal criteria for commercial and residential reuse.

For example, process controls ensure the compost is heated to 131 degrees Fahrenheit for at least five days in efficient aerobic windrows, long lines of heaped compost. Windrows are mechanically mixed to optimize decomposition for another 15 days, and the compost is screened and aged to create a high-quality end product, meeting rigorous standards to achieve certification from the U.S. Composting Council.

The benefits of using high quality

compost include improved soil structure, reduced water consumption and delivery of key nutrients for plant growth. Diverting over 400,000 cubic tons of organic materials from landfills minimizes methane emissions and associated climate impacts.

Harvest Blend Compost is sold in bulk to agricultural users and landscape contractors throughout the Central Coast, and is available direct to consumers at a number of local landscape supply companies. And keep a look out, because we occasionally get a load of Harvest Blend Compost delivered to our site that we make available for free to local residents in Carpinteria, literally bringing resource recovery full circle.

So, resource recovery is indeed a thing at the Carpinteria Sanitary District. Each year, over 1,500 tons of organic material that could be considered a waste is instead turned into a marketable, recycled product with measurable environmental benefits. As we continue to leverage opportunities to minimize waste and recover valuable resources, we may indeed need to rebrand ourselves as the Carpinteria Resource Recovery District.

Stay tuned!

Holiday blues at every life stage

MY WELLNESS NOW VICKIE GONZALEZ The holiday season is often painted as a time of celebration and togetherness.

For many individuals, however, there are challenges during this time that can negatively affect their mental health. Expectations to create the perfect moments in time, societal pressures, as well as family and friend gatherings can be extra demanding. The financial burden some may incur will further exacerbate overall wellbeing. This article will address some of the needs of various age groups and discuss strategies to improve balance in mental health during the holidays.

Children (0-12): Children may struggle with disrupted routines during the holidays, as well as the anticipation of receiving gifts. Stress and anxiety are heightened during this time. Maintaining routines including a consistent sleep schedule is vital for children’s mental health. Acknowledging children’s feelings and providing a supportive environment with open communication can soothe anxieties. Coping activities such as engaging in playtime or creative activities (like art and crafts) can be useful for them to express themselves in a positive way.

Teens (13-17): For a lot of teens, the holidays are a mix of emotions. Holidays bring fun activities and a break from school; it can also be a time of increased tension. Social media can skew per-

14TH ANNUAL

ceptions that others are having perfect holidays; teens feel a burden to meet that expectation of perfection which can increase feelings of overwhelm, anxiety and depression. As with children, it is critical to foster open communication.

Involve them in some of the decision making for holiday plans; this will allow space for a sense of some control and more empowerment. Encourage teens to express their feelings and worries. Assist them in setting realistic goals to relieve some of the impact of societal pressures including time and energy management.

Emphasize self-care, journaling and creative activities to manage worry as well.

Young adults (18-25): At this age young adults are navigating the transition into being more independent; they are moving from adolescence into adulthood. Learning to create boundaries with family and friends while setting aside time for self-care and reflection is crucial for overall well-being. Connecting with friends and other loved ones provides a valuable and necessary support system.

Setting aside time for self-care helps them self-regulate and get clear on who they want to spend time with and what types of activities they want to do. It is also at this age where many start to have new financial stressors around holiday expenses and expectations. Planning and budgeting for holiday expenses can decrease some of the stress and contribute to a positive mental health state.

Adults (26-64): Many adults juggle responsibilities during holidays which make it difficult to maintain a work/ life balance. Financial pressures, family obligations and expectations to create a perfect holiday all contribute to holiday blues. Setting realistic expectations, including those around financial and social obligations, is needed. Like young adults, self-care, regular exercise and mindfulness activities are ways to improve and maintain overall positive mental health during this time.

Encourage yourself and others to practice self-care through mindfulness exercises, regular physical activity, having good sleep hygiene and engaging in some social activities with others.

Older Adults (65+): Older adults often struggle with feelings of isolation throughout the year; the holidays are no exception. Research has shown that older adults may experience increased sadness or depression due to missing loved ones who have died, having physical limitations or health related concerns which keep them from celebrating in ways they want to and nostalgia from seasons past.

Encouraging family visits, especially those with intergenerational activities such as game nights or telling stories cultivate a sense of connection. Other ways include encouraging attendance at community events, and/or connecting with neighbors are ways to alleviate some of the sadness.

Overall, some signs that may indicate a person (at any age) is struggling include changes in sleep patterns, increased irritability, general moodiness or withdrawing from social activities. If you notice these risk factors in loved ones, talk to them, instill the help of others in the social network if needed and/or reach out for professional support. If it is you who are feeling the struggle, remember that sharing with others can help relieve some of the burden of emotional distress and nurture relationships with family, friends and others. Encourage yourself

and others to practice self-care through mindfulness exercises, regular physical activity, having good sleep hygiene and engaging in some social activities with others. They are all beneficial to cope with holiday induced stress. Let’s all look to make the remainder of 2023 less about expectations and reminding ourselves that the holidays are better if they are about celebration, togetherness, and moments of love and community.

Artesania para la Familia celebrates 10th anniversary

Artesania para la Familia celebrated its 10 year anniversary on Thursday, Dec. 7, and Congressman Salud Carbajal attended to present a certificate of recognition to the program.

The organization was awarded for “10 years of bringing free arts and literacy to the Carpinteria community,” according to Suzanne Requejo, member of Artesania para la Familia. “It was a joyous celebration of 10 years of gratitude to so many partnerships, collaborations and to past and present funders,” she said.

Chayasing –– Kliewer

Alyssa Chayasing and Matthew Kliewer tied the knot on Aug. 5, in Santa Barbara, California. Matthew is a lifelong Carpinterian who is currently pursuing his MBA and working full-time in Santa Barbara, while Alyssa moved into town two years ago from Ventura and works in the local flower industry. The couple met through their church.

Members of Friends of the Carpinteria Library, including from left, Wendy Yanagihara, Gaby Edwards and Selden Edwards, attended the 10th anniversary of Artesania para la Familia.

Public Notices

____________________________ NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE

Loan No.: 5-3-24113 Order No. 8786072 APN: 004-002-32 Property Address: 1670 Cravens Lane Carpinteria, CA 93013 You Are In Default Under A Deed Of Trust Dated 5/5/2005. Unless You Take Action To Protect Your Property, It May Be Sold At A Public Sale. If You Need An Explanation Of The Nature Of The Proceeding Against You, You Should Contact A Lawyer. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, cashier’s check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a cashier’s check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale.

No cashier’s checks older than 60 days from the day of sale will be accepted.

Trustor: Wilja Happe, a single person Duly Appointed Trustee: Geraci Law Firm Recorded 5/19/2005 as Instrument No. 2005-0046296 in book , page of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Santa Barbara County, California, Date of Sale: 1/3/2024 at 1:00 PM Place of Sale: north door main entrance to County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $2,258,869.34 Street Address or other common designation of real property: 1670 Cravens Lane Carpinteria, CA 93013 A.P.N.: 004-002-32 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. Notice To Potential Bidders: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. Notice To Property Owner: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (877) 440-4460 or visit this Internet Web site www.mkconsultantsinc.com, using the file number assigned to this case 230814265.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Notice To Tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (877) 440-4460, or visit this internet website site www.tlssales.info, using the file number assigned to this case 230814265 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale.

Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARPINTERIA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Incorporation of Recitals.

All the recitals set forth above are true, correct, and valid, and are hereby incorporated and adopted as findings of the City Council as though fully set forth herein.

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 peace, health, safety, and welfare of members of the public during and following the COVID-19 pandemic; and B. The pandemic’s effects on local economies and consumer preferences are longer lasting than initially anticipated; and C. 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 l o c a l e c o n o m i c r e c o v e r y, a n d endangering the lives or property of inhabitants of the City; and D.The Downtown “T” Encroachment Permit Program was established to allow local businesses within the Downtown “T” to apply for a permit to conduct certain business operations within the City right-of-way, which provides a framework for the portion of the Temporary COVID-19 Outdoor Business Permit Program applicable to the City right-of-way and other privately-owned property, but requires certain modifications to streamline the implementation of permits with all due speed during and following the COVID-19 pandemic; and E. Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 14.64 establishes a temporary use permit to allow businesses to engage in temporary uses on privately-owned 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 F. The City Council recognizes the Temporary COVID-19 Outdoor Business Permit Program continues to require that certain temporary exceptions to the requirements of Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 12.02, the Downtown “T” Encroachment Permit Program, and Carpinteria Municipal Code Chapter 14.64 may be necessary, as determined by the City Manager through additional rules and regulations; and G. The City Council has initiated the process to establish a permanent parklet program and associated regulations and desires continuity between the existing Temporary COVID-19 Outdoor Business Permit Program and the permanent program; and H.For the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare the Council finds that it is necessary to adopt this Urgency Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 744, as amended by Ordinance Nos. 746, 749, 754, 761, and 767 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 3.Urgency Need. Based on the foregoing recitals and findings, all of which are deemed true and correct, this Urgency Ordinance is needed for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and welfare. This Urgency Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon adoption in accordance with Government Code Section 36937.

Section 4. Amendment. This Urgency Ordinance hereby amends and supersedes Section 11 of Ordinance No. 744, as it has been amended, to read as follows: “Section 11. Effective Date and Termination. This Urgency Ordinance shall become effective immediately and shall remain in effect until the earlier of 11:59 pm on June 30, 2024, or termination by the City Council.”

Section 5. Scope. Except as expressly amended and superseded by this Urgency Ordinance, all other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases or words of Ordinance No. 744, as amended, remain in full force and effect.

ONLY $20

Section 6. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this Urgency Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid and/or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Urgency Ordinance or amended Ordinance No. 744.

Section 7. Effective Date. This Urgency Ordinance shall become effective immediately.

Section 8. Environmental Determination. The City Council finds that the adoption and implementation of this urgency Ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that the City Council finds there is no possibility that the implementation of this Ordinance may have significant effects on the environment. The urgency Ordinance would amend Ordinance No. 744, that established a Temporary COVID-19 Outdoor Business Permit Program, similar to existing permit processes, which is solely an administrative process resulting in no change to the environment.

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

THROWBACK

Causeways paved with gold

THURSDAY

BY STEPHEN BATES

Early in the 20th century, residents of Santa Barbara raised tens of thousands of dollars for a road project in Ventura County: the Rincon causeways.

Milo M. Potter, who owned the Potter Hotel between Chapala and Bath streets on the beach in Santa Barbara, played a key role. Whereas earlier boosters had called Santa Barbara the Sanitarium of the Pacific Coast, an Eden for convalescents, Potter envisioned a bigger market. “We have the finest year-round climate in the world here,” he said, “so let’s give the healthy a chance to enjoy it.”

Santa Barbara would attract early motorists (the Model T came out in 1908) from Los Angeles for weekend getaways, Potter thought, but they were scared of the drive. The inland Casitas Pass route was one of the most dangerous stretches of highway in the region, with frequent fatalities.

The Pacific route, though nine miles shorter, posed its own problems. Between Rincon Point and La Conchita (then called Punta Gorda), steep cliffs ran more or less straight to the sea. The railroad had taken the only practicable roadbed. Motorists, accordingly, had to drive on the beach, their travels timed by tide charts. Even at low tide, logs and boulders sometimes blocked the path.

A Ventura livestock dealer named W. A. Hobson came up with the engineering solution. In 1910, Hobson took his family to Europe. On the Riviera, where Rincon-like hillsides plunged into the sea, the French had built roads on causeways – in essence, bridges abutting the cliffs.

California Highways and Public Works magazine later explained the appeal of the causeway concept. Raising a seaside road on dirt and rock was prohibitively expensive in the Model T era, given the state of earth-moving equipment. Lumber, by contrast, was relatively cheap.

Cheap, but not free. The state wasn’t ready to pay for Rincon causeways. Santa Barbara County couldn’t issue bonds to build a road in Ventura County. Ventura County officials agreed to bridge the Ventura River, but they weren’t going to build causeways.

Intercounty rivalry broke out at times.

On one of the causeways of the Rincon Sea-Level Road, Clarence Cadwell of Carpinteria poses at the wheel with his dog. The causeways were paved in 1916, which saved many tires.

“Santa Barbara needs the roadway, that is all there is to it,” said the Ventura Free Press. Some Ventura residents predicted that when the causeways were finished,

In December 1912, Motor Age magazine published this photo of the Rincon Point entrance to the new causeways. Although the causeways were located in Ventura County, Santa Barbara residents were the major funders. Rincon Creek – the horizontal line that bisects Rincon Point at top left – is the county line.

motorists from Los Angeles wouldn’t slow down before Santa Barbara. Ventura would pass by in a blur.

With no prospects of government funding, Milo Potter launched the 1911 equivalent of a Kickstarter. He aimed to raise $50,000, build the Rincon Sea-Level Road, as it was called, and deed it to the state.

For $6.50, anybody could buy a foot of causeway. A bootblack, a barber and a bowling alley each contributed a day’s receipts. Fundraising events included dances, boxing matches, plays and performances by a troupe called the Rincon Minstrels. The largest share of the money came from donors in Santa Barbara, though Potter also hit up fellow hoteliers along the coast. In addition, the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, hoping that good roads would draw visitors to the World’s Fair there in 1915, gave $5,000.

The state was about to choose routes for major highways, and Potter and other civic leaders wanted to make sure that one of them ran through Santa Barbara.

Feeling a sense of urgency, they hired contractor John M. Williamson in December 1911 even though they hadn’t raised the full $50,000.

Williamson set to work on three causeways, 24 feet wide, standing on 10-inch eucalyptus pilings. The one closest to Rincon Point was about 2,000 feet long, the middle one about 400 feet long and the one near La Conchita about 4,400 feet long, according to Motor Age magazine.

The roads between causeways were paved with 12 inches of clay over sandy soil and protected by riprap seawalls.

In fall 1912, the project ran out of money about $10,000 short of completion.

According to the Morning Press, Santa Barbara residents had recently raised $79,000 for the YMCA and $60,000 for a municipal band, and they had no more to give. Fortunately, the state agreed to take over and finish the job.

On a weekend in late November, the new road was the object of what the Los Angeles Times called a “monster celebration,” with black-tie Saturday events in Santa Barbara and a Sunday barbecue on the Hill family farm at Rincon Point. At least 150 cars drove up from Los Angeles, which shredded the fresh clay pavement between causeways and caused several cars to get stuck in the sand. According to news reports, between 2,000 and 3,000 people turned out for the barbecue. The meat came from W. A. Hobson, who had brought back the causeway notion from France. The Flying A Studios in Santa Barbara sent a camera crew. The weather that day was perfect “even for California,” said Motor Age. The causeways represented an improvement over driving on the beach, but their shortcomings became increasingly apparent. Vibrations from traffic loosened the nails, especially when drivers exceeded the speed limit – 4 m.p.h. in 1913, later raised to 15 – and the nails punctured tires. In 1916, the surface was paved. The causeways lasted until 1926, when they were replaced by a paved road behind an embankment and an ornate seawall.

Destiny might have carried Santa Barbara in a different direction. In his book “Material Dreams: Southern California Through the 1920s,” historian Kevin Starr says that the Navy might have made Santa Barbara a major port, or the Lockheed (originally Loughead) brothers might have made it a leading aviation center or the Flying A Studios might have made it the nation’s motion picture capital. Instead, Santa Barbara became a destination for tourists. From 1912 to 1926, the Rincon causeways helped bring them there.

Good timing

IT’S ALL SURFING CHRISTIAN BEAMISH Surfing is a practice of timing, right down to the hour.

We understand wind, tide and swell, and learn where to be on any given combination of elements. A calm winter evening, for example, with a low tide and six feet of west swell at a 12-second interval, means the Rincon Cove.

(Everyone who owns a s u r f b o a rd w i t h i n 150-miles knows this and shows up!)

But a keen awareness of ocean conditions comes with a shadow component. If the waves are really good and I can’t go surfing, I sometimes get itchy and irritable – not much different from any other addict.

The trick then, for me anyway, is to remember what Duke Kahanamoku said: “More waves are always coming.” (I may have mashed that a bit, but that’s the idea – and thanks, Duke!)

Also, if I can manage to recall the good fortune I have to live within a short drive

to the beach, with a reliable vehicle, that I have the strength and health to paddle out, that I own a surfboard company, have wetsuits and all the gear I need and a family to come home to, then irritability is replaced with gratitude. (One would think, anyway!)

Even as I chant thankfulness here, a recent surf at Rincon revealed that I still toggle between fever and calm. The swell was waning, but it seemed there was still some energy in the line-up. Key word: seemed. The reality was that the power had dissipated and although the waves were nearly head-high on the sets, the rides were rather anemic.

Usually, whether I’m practicing gratitude or not, I find a way to enjoy the waves. Even the small, silly ones have their fun. But I take it all pretty seriously, too. So, trying to get going on one of these not-so-epic waves at the top of the cove, I called another surfer off with a sharp, “Hey!” as he paddled on the shoulder ahead of me to catch the wave.

I was “in my rights” to call out. And, one could argue, it’s a matter of safety – if the guy dropped in on me it could cause a collision.

The truth, however, was that the wave lacked any real juice, I wasn’t doing anything spectacular and wasn’t going to make the whole ride anyway.

But it was the gall of the guy to paddle as if it didn’t matter that someone was already up and riding. That’s my default setting – to think of the guy paddling for my wave as “galling.” I create a surface warfare environment in my mind.

Viewed from his perspective then, who was the dude in his 50s, long limbs all knees and elbows akimbo, practically screaming out about him paddling for a three-foot wave? Naturally, he called out mockingly as I passed him on the piddling little ride, “You go, guy!”

Ooh, then I wanted to fight! Wanted to punch that narrow-stanced faker, that faux soul-arch dork, right in the kisser. I really am bonkers. Naturally, although I am a complete lunatic, I am a rule-follower like most people and wouldn’t actually commit an assault.

But I got the hit from the anger just the same – and this in the midst of all the manifest blessings that allowed me to be there in the first place. It’s a wonder God doesn’t wash his hands of us. And that’s pretty mild on the scale of sinfulness.

But man, the gall of it. (And not from the other guy, either!)

I hope I’m learning to be better, because I’m beginning to see that we weave a fabric with our attitude and with our actions. We are patches in the big quilt, and we know that we’re all connected too, even if we don’t live as if that’s the truth.

Warriors girls hoops starts league play

Carpinteria grabs win at Malibu and drops close game at home to Nordhoff WORDS BY RYAN P. CRUZ • PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING Carpinteria girls basketball started Citrus Coast League play with games against Malibu and Nordhoff, and the Warriors split both games to advance to 5-4 overall and 1-1 in league.

On the road against Malibu on Dec. 6, the Warriors jumped out to an early 13-5 lead in the first quarter, but the Sharks started to find some offense and cut into the lead, with Carpinteria keeping its edge at halftime, 19-13.

In the third quarter, the Warriors were more focused and continued to build their lead, heading into the fourth quarter up 36-24. Malibu’s top scorer Casey Ovsiowitz went on a solo run in the fourth quarter, scoring nine points by herself, but Carpinteria’s defense was able to do just enough to keep its lead and take the win, 47-38.

Carpinteria sophomore Jamaica Cook led the Warriors with a double-double, scoring 19 points and grabbing 17 points in the victory.

“I am happy that we got the league win but we need to start doing a better job matching our good consistent effort with good consistent execution,” said Carpinteria coach Henry Gonzales. “That is on me to do a better job of preparing us to do just that.”

Two days later, the Warriors were back at home for a league matchup against the Nordhoff Rangers.

In this game, Carpinteria struggled to put together four good quarters, and the Warriors found themselves in a backand-forth battle throughout the night.

Carpinteria took the lead, 12-10, after the first quarter, but Nordhoff went on a big run in the second quarter, scoring 19

points while the Warriors only scored eight. The Rangers went into halftime with a 29-20 lead.

In the second half, Carpinteria started a comeback and by the end of the third quarter the Warriors were within five points. Finally, with just over two minutes left in the game, Carpinteria sophomore Charlotte Cooney nailed a three pointer to put the Warriors back in front, 45-44.

But Carpinteria struggled to grab a rebound on the defensive end, giving Nordhoff a few extra chances and giving up the lead in the final minutes. In the end, the Rangers pulled away with the 50-46 win. The Warriors are now 5-4 overall.

“Again our execution didn’t match our effort,” coach Gonzales said. “So we have to continue to work on the fundamentals of the game to gain that consistent execution that we want.”

Senior Amarisse Camargo played her heart out in the loss, notching a doubledouble with 19 points and 22 rebounds against Nordhoff. Cooney and Cook continued to produce in their sophomore seasons with 10 and nine points, respectively.

Another member of the girls basketball team earned recognition earlier in the week, as junior Penny Wrought was honored as the winner of Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table’s 2023 Phil Womble Ethics in Sports Award.

Wrought, who has become a force on the defensive side of the court for the Warriors, was nominated by Carpinteria High School coaching staff for her effort

and participation on the Warriors volleyball and basketball squads. She now joins the list of previous Phil Womble winners Talon Trumble (2022-2023) and Ariana Lounsbury (2021-2022), all recognized for embodying the values of a true student athlete: respect, honesty, positive attitude and sportsmanship.

On top of being an athlete, Wrought also holds a 4.0 GPA, is an officer with Future Farmers of America and spends her time volunteering at an animal

shelter and raising animals of her own for the fair.

“Penny has been a committed, dedicated and hard-working member of our program for the past three years,” coach Gonzales said. “She has earned the respect of her teammates because of these qualities. Penny is a selfless teammate who is willing to do what is right and best for her team. More importantly, Penny is an amazing young lady with a bright future ahead of her.”

Senior Amarisse Camargo scored 19 points and grabbed 22 rebounds in a loss against Nordhoff.

Jamaica Cook has become one of Carpinteria’s top scorers in her sophomore season.

Two days later the Warriors were on the road to face Nordhoff, and after the teams went into halftime tied, Carpinteria’s Jeshua Magaña connected with David Esquivel who scored to give the Warriors the 1-0 lead.

But the Rangers would tie the game on a set piece goal and then take the lead on a late counter attack to give Nordhoff the 2-1 win. Carpinteria is now 1-3-1 overall and 0-2-1 in league play.

Carpinteria girls soccer makes it six straight

The Warriors girls soccer team is on fire to start the 2023 season, and Carpinteria added two more wins in the past week to advance to a perfect 6-0 overall and 3-0 in league play.

Carpinteria had won four straight games heading into a tough matchup on the road at Malibu, and the Warriors were hoping to extend that streak with another win. Both teams were scoreless until the 33rd minute, when Warriors junior forward Keilly Hernandez dropped a pass to freshman midfielder Kaydance Gardner, who broke the tie with a chip shot in the net.

In the second half, Carpinteria was able to keep control of the game and hold on to the 1-0 lead to take the win and move to 5-0 on the year.

“We had been riding high with this streak of wins but today the reality of competitive league play brought us back to earth,” said Carpinteria coach Freddy Martinez.

Two days later at home against Nordhoff, the Warriors once again proved their dominance and unleashed an offensive attack with 16 shots on goal against just three from Nordhoff. Carpinteria finally broke through in the 29th minute when Gardner set up junior Charlotte Stoops for a well-placed shot to give the Warriors a 1-0 lead.

Carpinteria sealed the game later in the 51st minute, when sophomore Evelyn Lara grabbed a loose ball and took it herself to give the Warriors the 2-0 lead for the win.

“Tonight was a great finish to a very long week of league competition,” coach Martinez said. “I know the girls and maybe us coaching staff thought we should have scored more tonight, but as I step back I realize it’s still early in the season and my team is young so I know given more training time and experience we should be making a push in our league and hopefully beyond.”

Carpinteria is now 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the Citrus Coast League, and the Warriors will face Hueneme this Friday with a chance to advance to 7-0 before the holiday break.

Warriors boys soccer has tough road trip

Carpinteria boys soccer has played four road games in a row, with two matches in the past week against Malibu and Nordhoff.

Carpinteria faced Malibu on Dec. 6, and Warriors senior Raul Reyes lit up the scoreboard with three goals in the first half, but the Sharks responded each time and ultimately Malibu tied the game on a penalty kick in the last 10 minutes to send the teams home with a tie, 3-3.

“Raul Reyes’s work ethic is amazing, he battles for every ball and is always looking for ways to help out the team,” said coach Gerry Rodriguez. “We had the momentum during most of the first half but we need to learn not to make too many mistakes in our half and give teams scoring opportunities.”

After a slow start to the year, the Warriors boys basketball squad has now won three of its last four games and is now 4-4 overall with back-to-back wins over Nordhoff and Orcutt Academy.

The Warriors opened league play with a home game against Nordhoff, and junior Aiden Alcaraz led the team with 18 points – including five three-pointers – to help Carpinteria take the 67-36 win.

Carpinteria continues to have a lot of offensive output from its group of juniors, including Sebastian Campuzano-Reed (15 points), Sawyer Kelly (13 points) and Carlo Suarez (12 points).

The next night Carpinteria was on the road to face Orcutt Academy, and once again it was the Warriors’ juniors and sophomores lighting up the stat sheet in a dominant 63-53 win. Campuzano-Reed led all scorers with 19 points, while Alcaraz dropped 13 points and Suarez added 10 points.

Kelly took on the task of guarding Orcutt’s top scorer – holding him to just two points in the game – and Carpinteria sophomore Micah Smith made his presence known with eight points and several rebounds, steals, deflections and assists on the night.

“I was most proud of our unselfish play and maturity tonight,” coach Hall said.

“Our starters handled business against multiple looks from Orcutt and our bench was loud and active all game long. We went to battle for each other and earned a solid, team victory.”

Campuzano-Reed, Alcaraz and Suarez are all averaging over 10 points a game through the first eight games, while Kelly is averaging 9.3 points a game and Smith is leading the team with 2.9 steals a game. The Warriors are now 4-4 overall and will return to the court to host the Jim Bashore Holiday Cage Classic starting Dec. 18.

Warriors win three at “Win the Sprint”

Carpinteria girls water polo recovered from a regular season loss to Buena with a strong showing with three wins in four matches at the “Win the Sprint” tournament, hosted by Santa Paula on Dec. 8 and 9.

On the first day of the tournament, the Warriors rolled through two straight matches with wins over Hueneme (11-7) and Foothill Tech (17-8).

Freshman Hazel Dugré and junior Guilia Piccoletti each scored six times over the two wins; senior Lilli Nemetz scored five goals; Sara Fakinos added three and Devyn Clayton finished with two goals.

“The starting seven played good water polo today and controlled the pace of the game well to allow our reserves plenty of minutes,” said Carpinteria coach Jon Otsuki.

On day two, Carpinteria got off to a good start with an 11-7 win over Nordhoff.

This time it was Nemetz leading the way with six goals and three assists, while Dugré added three goals and Piccoletti scored twice. Goaltender Allison Banks continued a solid weekend in the net with six blocked shots and three steals in three quarters.

In the final match of the weekend, however, Carpinteria was held to a season-low six goals, with the offense struggling to convert on close-range opportunities. The Warriors fell to Santa Paula, 6-8, but the teams will meet once again later in the Citrus Coast League schedule.

“Although it was frustrating being right at the front door and not scoring,” coach Otsuki said, “we are optimistic with our chances when we get a rematch in league play.”

Carpinteria is now 5-3 overall and will have a long holiday break before returning to the pool against Fillmore on Jan. 2.

Cate Rams Roundup

It was a busy week for Cate sports, with boys basketball, girls basketball and boys soccer each picking up a pair of wins in the past week.

Cate boys basketball moved to 7-1 with wins over Bishop Diego (67-62) on Dec. 6 and Cabrillo (51-44) on Dec. 12. Coach Andy Gil has the Rams playing hard-nosed defense, while junior guard Marcus Scudder has proved himself as a leader on the court with 23 points and a handful of assists in the win over Cabrillo. The boys will return to the court after the holiday break with a home game against St. Bonaventure on Jan. 12, 2024.

Cate girls basketball also won back-to-back games, with a 45-32 win over Coastal Christian on Dec. 8 and a 43-29 win over Thacher on Dec. 12. Juniors Sophia Ospina and Sam Jimenez have led the scoring charge for the Rams, who are now 5-3 overall with one more game left before the holiday break.

Rams boys soccer has started the season 3-0 after adding two more wins over Bishop Diego (3-0) and Thacher (3-1). Cate has found offense all over the field, with six different players scoring the six goals in the two wins. Against Bishop Diego, all goals were scored by sophomore players: George Marin, Alex Gallegos and Charlie Dorion.

“We are still nursing some injuries and playing with a small roster but this group is skilled, gritty, and is slowly coming together,” said Cate coach Jorge Reynoso. “I’m looking forward to having a complete and healthy roster.”

The Rams will be back on the field after the break against Grace Brethren on Jan. 11, 2024.
