Santa Barbara County celebrates Black history

In celebration of the historical achievements of Black/African Americans in Santa Barbara, Black/African American-led organizations continue the tradition of coming together to provide events for Black History Month (BHM) in February and yearround in Santa Barbara County. The 2022 theme of “Black Joy & Legacy Through Family Health & Safety” connects the events to uplifting the joy, accomplishments, challenges and successes of local Black/African American individuals.

Events in 2022 will be mostly virtual with a handful of in-person events. To learn about events, visit juneteenthsb.org/community-news/2022-black-history-month.

Paper bags OK’d for food waste recycling

E.J. Harrison & Sons and Harrison Industries will now accept residential food waste in paper bags as well as in plastic bags. All bags of food waste must still be closed and placed in residents’ yard waste carts for weekly curbside pickup.

Harrison and its partners at Agromin approved the use of folded-shut paper bags in addition to the tied plastic bags that have been accepted since residential food waste recycling began on Jan. 3.

The move to include paper bags is a response to customers’ concerns about the use of non-Earth-friendly plastic bags in the area’s new food waste recycling program; the decision was buoyed by the early success of the program.

“The bagged food waste has traveled really well,” said Harrison spokeswoman Nan Drake. “We’re living and learning. Once we got the program going, we could see that paper bags would work fine, as long as people carefully fold them shut and don’t recycle liquids.”

Food waste includes meat, bones, dairy, coffee grounds, shells, skins and peels as well as all produce, grains and other food products. Whether it’s in paper or plastic, all food waste must be bagged. Food waste should not be placed directly into yard waste carts, where it could contaminate the loose yard waste in there.

Residential food waste recycling began this year in compliance with California Senate Bill 1383. Effective Jan. 1, SB 1383 requires communities statewide to begin residential food waste recycling, on the road to reducing all organic waste landfill disposal by 75% of 2014 levels, by 2025. Organic waste in landfills emits toxic methane gases that contribute to climate change.

Girls Inc. of Carpinteria, Planned Parenthood partner for sex-ed series

Girls Inc. of Carpinteria now offers a “Teen Talk” sexual education series, in collaboration with Planned Parenthood.

The weekly series is offered virtually for Eureka! program members, a program for college-bound girls at Girls Inc. “Teen Talk” will offer information on relationships, STIs, birth control and other sex-ed related topics. A parent orientation is offered alongside each series’ component.

The series focuses on four primary areas: healthy relationships, the sexuality thumbprint, sexual health and reproduction, and sex, media and technology.

“Girls deserve comprehensive education that empowers them to be healthy and take ownership of their sexual health,” Jamie Collins, executive director of Girls Inc. Carpinteria, said.

“We are proud to partner with Planned Parenthood California Central Coast to bring this virtual series to our girls to ensure they have the skills, knowledge, and support they need to make positive decisions and lead healthy, safe lives,” she added.

County extends indoor face covering mandate More than 600 county residents have died of Covid-19 as of Jan. 31

Santa Barbara County extended its indoor face covering mandate on Monday, through March 3 at 5 p.m.

The order requires all individuals, vaccinated or unvaccinated, to wear masks while in indoor public settings. The order will be effective until March 3 at 5 p.m., unless it is extended or rescinded.

Refusing to wear a mask while in an indoor public space can result in imprisonment, a fine of up to $1,000 or both.

Transmission levels of Covid-19 in Santa Barbara county and California remain “high,” the county confirmed in a press release on Monday.

“The significantly more transmissible SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant of COVID-19 is the predominant strain in Santa Barbara County,” the health orders read.

“To control the spread of COVID-19, this Health Officer Order orders all individuals in the County of Santa Barbara – whether vaccinated or unvaccinated – to wear a Face Covering at all times in all Indoor Public Settings, and while inside any Business, with limited exemptions, and recommends that Businesses make face coverings available to individuals entering the Business.”

The county reported a case rate of 147.03 per 100,000 people on Jan. 27, with a test positivity rate of 20.4%.

Between Jan. 21 and Jan. 27, 6,816 new cases were reported, for a total of 76,168 cases. That same week reported 136 people in the hospital, and 16 in the ICU. As of Monday, more than 600 county residents have now died of Covid-19.

Over the past several days, more than 11 deaths were reported within the county. Eight deaths were reported on Jan. 26; six people were older than 70, one was in the 50-69 age group, and the other was in the 30-49 age group. Six had underlying medical conditions. Two lived in Orcutt, one in Santa Maria, one in the city of Santa Barbara, three in Lompoc, and one in Goleta.

One death each was reported on Jan. 27, Jan. 28 and Jan. 31. One individual was older than 70, with underlying medical conditions. Two were in the 50-69 age range, both with underlying medical conditions.

There are currently 4,339 active cases of Covid-19 within the county. The county is now 66.4% fully vaccinated.

The Carpinteria Unified School District will hold two vaccine clinics in the next month: the first on Feb. 4, and the second on March 4, both between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Pfizer and Moderna vaccines will be offered.

Order four Covid-19 tests through USPS at special.usps.com/testkits. The tests are rapid, antigen at-home tests, and give results within 30 minutes.

Final architectural services cost for Aliso modernization jumps $300k, shocking the board

BY EVELYN SPENCE

The district’s board of trustees was shocked last Monday when a sudden increase of $311,402 came up for approval, for a total fee of $731,051 for architectural services for the Aliso modernization project. The increase, seen in documents submitted to the board, is due to increases in the total construction cost over nearly five years.

The original cost estimate for architectural services was slated at $419,650, in 2017. Assistant Superintendent Maureen Fitzgerald told the board that the original budget of $419,000 only included Phase 1 of the project, whereas it should have included all three phases.

“There were purchase order increases over a couple of years to pay out additional monies,” Fitzgerald said. “And those did not come before the board.”

“We didn’t budget the additional fees?” Sheaffer asked.

“No,” Fitzgerald said.

She said she has staff looking over other contracts right now to ensure this won’t happen again.

“This is egregious,” Board member Jaime Diamond said. “This is awful… It’s a hit. And it’s because some people were really irresponsible.”

The board tabled the item and asked Fitzgerald to speak to the architect, Robert Robles, further.

Trustees express concern over district CAASPP scores

Board members expressed concern with the school accountability report cards, which published districtwide CAASPP scores, at last Monday’s meeting.

CAASPP, or California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, is a system that measures students on that English Language arts literacy and math skills.

This year, Aliso Elementary reported a “fairly sizable difference” in CAASPP scores compared to the other elementary schools, Board member Sheaffer pointed out. Board member Sally Green also noted in the Summerland report there were some places that lacked report numbers for female students.

Superintendent Diana Rigby said if there were less than 10 participants, it wasn’t reported. Rigby also told school board members not to worry about the district’s scores due to the Covid-19 school year.

“The scores really are not valid,” Rigby said at board’s Jan. 25 meeting. “I’m surprised that they were published.”

$311,402.88

Carpinteria’s school board was shocked last Monday when it was hit with a projected $311,000 increase in architectural services for the Aliso modernization project.

She added that while there was adequate participation in the tests, “a number of our students did not take the test.”

Absentee rates return to pre-Omicron levels

According to Rigby, student absentee rates have “significantly declined” since the beginning of January.

“Please continue to assist us by monitoring any symptoms and following the Santa Barbara Public Health protocols for isolation and quarantine,” Rigby wrote to parents.

At the school board’s Jan. 25 meeting, Rigby said CUSD reported a 13% student absentee rate and a 5% staff absentee rate.

“We’ve been very fortunate, and I am grateful for adequate substitute and colleague coverage of classes these past two weeks,” Rigby said.

Second public meeting on switch to by-trustee elections

Daniel Phillips, from the National Demographics Corporation, again appeared in front of the board of trustees at last Monday’s meeting, repeating the reason for the transition to by-trustee elections. “(The California Voting Rights Act) was written to specifically encourage the

“This is egregious (…) It’s a hit. And it’s because some people were really irresponsible.”

–Jaime Diamond, CUSD School Board member

by-trustee area election system. That’s why you’re moving to that system, so that you’re safer from the threat of lawsuit,” Phillips told the board.

Monday’s meeting was the second public meeting held on the matter. There has been no public comment at the first two meetings about the switch to by-trustee elections.

The final draft maps will be adopted on Feb. 23. The county’s Committee on Schoolboard Organization, in March, will then have to approve the maps adopted by the school board.

The city of Carpinteria is also moving to district-based elections, following a lawsuit from two residents in 2017.

Margaret Louise Imbach Kowalski 6/11/1939 – 1/3/2022

Margaret “Margo” Kowalski went to be with the Lord on Jan. 3, 2022. Born on June 11, in Rodeo, California, she was the oldest of three children to Reverend John and Margaret Imbach. The family moved many times until they finally settled in Carpinteria in 1954, where her father would become a long-time pastor of Carpinteria Community Church.

After graduation from Carpinteria High School in 1957, Mrs. Kowalski attended UC Santa Barbara, where she may have been the only female student in the Economics Department. When she graduated, she moved to San Francisco where she worked for Wells Fargo Bank as a trust officer. It was there where she met her husband, Tom Kowalski. They were married on June 29, 1968. Margo

Albert Raymond “Al” Bustillos

Albert Raymond “Al” Bustillos, Sr., 83, of Carpinteria, passed away peacefully on Friday, Jan. 28, from complications due to Parkinson’s disease.

As a youth, Albert lived in Las Cruces, California, and attended Vista del Mar Elementary School. He moved to Carpinteria in 1947 where he lived on 9th Street (Hollywood) growing up. He attended Carpinteria schools including Aliso School, and graduated from Carpinteria High School in 1957. As a proud Warrior alumni, he attended many junior varsity and varsity football games – only missing when hunting was on the agenda. He embraced his Native American Chumash heritage as a member of the Ortega family and proudly wore his red and black “Chumash” jacket.

A proud veteran, he served in the U.S. Army, stationed in Fulda, Germany. He was very proud of his military service, always displaying the U.S. flag at his home in old town Carpinteria.

went on to work for Citicorp, the holding company for Citibank, where she wrote multimillion dollar construction loans for several building projects in the San Francisco area.

During her 40+ years in the banking industry, Margo made it her passion to advocate for women’s rights in the workplace by becoming an active member of Business and Professional Women (BPW).

As a member of BPW, she became state president of the organization in 1991.

Margo was also very active with the non-profit Canine Companions, which trains and provides service dogs for people with special needs.

In 1995, she and Tom moved to Carpinteria where they retired. In 2000, her husband passed away. In later years, Margo took up ballroom dancing and competed in various competitions throughout the country. For several years, Margo thoroughly enjoyed her new passion for dance. From 2018 until she passed, Margo resided at GranVida, a senior care facility in Carpinteria. Margo is survived by her sister Judy (Imbach) Sirianni; her stepchildren, Annette Grasteit, Scott Christensen and Bryan Kowalski; her nieces and nephew, Jim Sirianni, Jenny Sirianni and Julia (Sirianni) Wheatley; and several great-nieces and great-nephews. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Canine Companions and Girls Inc. of Carpinteria.

A memorial service for Margo will be held on Feb. 12, at 10 a.m., at Carpinteria Community Church, with a reception to follow.

Albert worked at Jostens, Inc. in Summerland, California, for 13 years along with his brothers John and George and many locals. He worked as a welding fabricator at El Fiero Sol in Santa Barbara for a short period of time before his employment as a groundskeeper at Carpinteria Unified School District. He then started his own welding business, Bustillos Welding, until his retirement.

He was instrumental in supporting Carpinteria youth sports, donating his time coaching and lining the fields for games. He also donated volunteer welding services and additional time to both the Carpinteria Youth Athletic Association (CYAA), Carpinteria Valley Little League and Carpinteria Boys and Girls Club along with many volunteer hours to St. Joseph’s Catholic Church.

Albert enjoyed the outdoors, especially deer hunting in the local Santa Barbara mountains and annual hunts to Colorado with family and friends.

He is survived by two brothers, Robert and Vincent Bustillos, and his wife, Alice “Jackie” Bustillos, with whom he recently celebrated 60 years of marriage. Albert and Jackie had three children together, all of which survive him: his daughter Polly (Steve), sons Albert, Jr. (Anita), Robert (Carrie) and niece Edna (Tom). He is also survived by his eight grandchildren, six great-grandchildren – soon to be seven – and many nieces and nephews.

Services will be held at St. Joseph’s Church in Carpinteria. Rosary will be recited on Monday, Feb. 7, at 7 p.m. Funeral mass will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 8, at 10 a.m., followed by interment at Carpinteria Cemetery.

Donations can be made in memory of Albert to the Carpinteria Boys and Girls Club.

Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Pueblo Del Rey Funeral Services.

The issue before you is simple: does the County Planning Commission back basic health and safety for the students, teachers and residents of Carpinteria? Or does it champion the demands of cannabis growers to snare an additional 400 feet to accelerate profits?

––A.L. Bardach

Bike lanes made easy

The bureaucrats have done it again.

Millions of dollars for a quarter-mile bike lane. Why can’t they just use the same details they used for the bike lane they built two miles south of Rincon, with the fancy metal wave panels and stout barrier below? It looks great for a CalTrans design; they even put the no parking signs on sideways so you can’t see until you’re almost stopped. Build it on the existing right shoulder, existing bridge and existing on-ramp and off-ramp (Rincon and Bates Road) – quick and easy.

Let’s make the hang glider pilots, Union Pacific railroad and the Coastal Commission happy, while saving money to boot.

Big Cannabis vs.

CHS students

It’s troubling that it is even necessary to write why the permit requested by E. Van Wingerden to grow industrial levels of cannabis directly in front of Carpinteria High school and the Boys & Girls Club needs to be denied.

This is not a personal opinion – it’s federal law. This proposed cannabis facility is in direct violation of Title 21 of the U.S. Code, Section 860. Federal law (21 USC § 860) is clear: no alcohol, drugs of any kind are to be sold, grown, manufactured or processed within 1,000 feet of a school facility or club.

The buffer is not even measured from property line to property line, which is the standard in land-use law. Instead, the county uses a gimmicky standard where measurement is from a school property line to a greenhouse structure.

But let’s put aside that this proposed cannabis operation is illegal under federal law.

Can there be any question that the ongoing pollution and adverse health impacts from cannabis operations on students, teachers and staff is immoral?

Ask yourself, would this be happening at any school in Montecito, or anywhere in Santa Barbara with a majority white population? Is it any coincidence that roughly 75% of the students attending Carpinteria High School and the adjacent Boys & Girls Club are Hispanic, many of whom are from undocumented families?

Superintendent Diana Rigby initially insisted upon the 1,000-foot buffer as stipulated in federal law. Since then, the district has welcomed contributions from

cannabis growers, in violation of their own charter.

We have not lost rights

Last week, one of your letters (CVN, Vol. 28, No. 19) made quite a few disparaging remarks about our current President Joe Biden without any facts to support his claims. I have some facts to dispute his claims.

Name one basic freedom Americans have lost. These are the “criminal radicals” he spewed against. More judges have been confirmed to lower federal courts than any president since President Kennedy. More Black women have been appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals than any president – even over 8 years – in history. We have the first majority non-white Cabinet in history, including the first woman Treasury Secretary, the first LGBTQ+ and Native American Cabinet officials, and first woman Director of National Intelligence.

We have the most diverse Administration in history – more women, people of color, disability, LGBTQ+, first-generation Americans and first-generation college graduates.

Our Southern border is no worse or better than it has ever been. Ask our Border Patrol. Our energy sector has been propped up by climate investments, with investments in the power grid, electric vehicle chargers and climate resilience.

We have the first-ever approvals of largescale offshore wind projects. Because of the U.S. and NATO, Russia is balking at invading Ukraine. China is playing the games it always plays. North Korea played our last president like a fiddle.

Iran is Iran. They have enough problems in their own corner of the world.

I think our republic is doing just fine.

But we do need to continue electing forward-thinking individuals if we want to continue our democracy. P.S.: A “rhino” is a horned animal in Africa, as well as other areas. A RINO is a “Republican in name only.” I rest my case.

Children’s Project launches program to bolster community mental health services and awareness

Carpinteria schools, nonprofits and public agencies are standing up to the real and present challenge of youth and family mental health in 2022 through the new Carp Cares About Mental Wellness Initiative. Led by Carpinteria Children’s Project and funded by a Cottage Behavioral Health Initiative grant, Carp Cares will focus a network of partner agencies on expanding access to family mental health services, raising awareness through education and making mental health and wellness approachable for all community members.

“Over the past couple of years, everyone in the community has faced disruption and uncertainty on a near daily basis, and these are cumulative, real life stressors that deserve an all-hands-on-deck approach,” said Teresa Alvarez, executive director of Carpinteria Children’s Project.

“Our goal is to make Carpinteria a model community for mental wellness at our schools, in youth centers, at dinner tables and in regular conversations in order to raise the level of awareness so it meets the magnitude of the problem in the lives of children and families.”

In October 2021, the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the Association of Children’s Hospitals issued a joint advisory declaring youth mental health a crisis in the U.S. Similarly, the U.S. Surgeon General prioritized youth mental health in a December 2020 advisory. Child and adolescent mental health hospitalizations and suicides had already been increasing over the past decade, according to the advisories, and disruptions from the pandemic have exacerbated an already troubling trend.

Carp Cares About Mental Wellness creates an Advisory Committee of mental health professionals and agency leads from throughout the county to direct the collective community effort and align the agencies in their delivery of services in Carpinteria. Partner organizations involved on the advisory committee are: Carpinteria Unified School District, Family Service Agency, Mental Wellness Center, YouthWell, AHA!, Pacific Pride Foundation, Girls Inc. of Carpinteria, Boys & Girls Club of Carpinteria, HopeNet of Carpinteria and Santa Barbara County Public Health. The organizations began meeting in mid 2021 and are rolling out comprehensive services and a community awareness campaign in 2022.

New programs, professionals and family services

Through the Carp Cares About Mental Wellness Initiative led by the Carpinteria Children’s Project, a network of partner agencies will expand access to family mental health services.

Already teachers and school leaders are undergoing professional development in the areas of suicide prevention and mental wellness screening, according to Karla Curry, Director of Special Education for CUSD. “We want to create a safety network in our school community,” mental health professionals will be part of a new culture-wide approach to address community mental health.

“Mental wellness is an important contributor to academic achievement, and our schools promote student well-being by providing a social skills curriculum TK-12, and therapeutic services with counselors, psychologists and mental health therapists,” said CUSD Superintendent Diana Rigby, who said the district

Anniversary

Klein and Cozort

Chloe Klein and Jason Robert Cozort celebrated their first anniversary on Jan. 16. The couple was married last year in a private party’s back yard due to Covid-19 restrictions. Klein grew up in Ventura and attended Reality Church with her family, where she met Rob and Debbie Cozort of Carpinteria’s Cozort Beach Properties. Rob soon realized that he and Klein’s father, Matt, had worked together 25 years earlier in Los Angeles.

Rob and Debbie introduced Klein to their son Jason, and within a year of meeting, the two were engaged. Klein and Cozort now live in Virginia Beach with their son Gavin, close to the Navy base where Cozart was part of an EOD special forces team.

is thrilled to partner with Carp Cares to enhance services in schools and destigmatize mental wellness in the school community.

Already teachers and school leaders are undergoing professional development in the areas of suicide prevention and mental wellness screening, according to Karla Curry, Director of Special Education for CUSD. “We want to create a safety network in our school community,” she said.

Students will receive age-appropriate education and awareness starting in 6th grade in order to better equip the whole community with the ability to identify mental health issues and refer students and families to services provided through partner organizations networked into the Carpinteria Children’s Project Family Resource Center.

Carp Cares will launch a community mental health awareness campaign informed by results of a community survey conducted last fall. The survey identifies baseline attitudes toward mental health

services and community-specific barriers to addressing mental wellness. Building from the survey, Carp Cares will conduct a targeted campaign to make the topic of mental health approachable for Carpinteria families while introducing newly available services.

“Routines have been upended in big ways for families, and we are seeing those stresses contribute to the need for greater mental health services and awareness,” Alvarez said. “Our work and mission are to make sure students and educators have all the tools they need in Carpinteria, so we as a community can provide a model mental health support system.”

What is the community’s biggest issue?

PHOTOS BY DEBRA HERRICK

As the new year settles in and the community of Carpinteria gets to work on priority issues – big and small – we caught up with community members to learn what they believe are the most pressing issues. From the Rincon Trail Project to building a pier at Linden Avenue and the beach, from caring for the homeless to cleaning up dog poop, there is no shortage of opinions on what needs more attention and discussion.

Have your own idea about the community’s biggest issue? Let’s hear it. Submit a letter to the editor at editor@coastalview.com.

siveness. People aren’t coming together to discuss issues. We can only arrive at progress and truth when we consider other possibilities, and a lot of people aren’t doing that. So, whether the issue is political, economic or cultural, division hinders progress because people are more concerned about their ego or what they view as popular than listening to others – which is how we can grow as a culture.”

kid. There used to be a pier at Tarpitz when I was a kid and I’ll never forget it, it formed my life. It was for tourists and also kids like me who wanted to see fish under water. I wanted to get in there, in the water.

Think about every little town. Santa Cruz, Pismo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Goleta . . . Name one that doesn’t have a pier. And it would be great for the disabled community too – they could get on the water, take in the fresh ocean air and the outdoors. We have a lot of soccer fields but still no skate park and no pier.”

When I’m riding my motorcycle on Hwy 192, the smell is intense.

I just don’t understand why they keep expanding cannabis.

The other issue is the Bailard apartments the county wants to build. We already have an issue with water and since this is a county project, there’s no property tax revenue coming to Carpinteria. The Surfliner Inn is another thing. I would rather see something that’s like the old train station with shops owned by locals and maybe a cafe but not a hotel. The parking will be bad. Have you been to Bailard Avenue after 4 p.m.? There’s no parking out there. That is what is going to happen downtown.”

THE LAY OF THE LAND MIKE WONDOLOWSKI

What’s new at the harbor seal rookery?

KARLSSON

January marks the beginning of Sealwatch. This report covers Jan. 24 - 30, 2022.

High Adult Count

90

Pup Count

Natural History Notes

0

Harbor seals may be serially monogamous or have a few mates, but males do not acquire harems. It is believed that males compete in the ocean for females, but there’s little documentation since there is no visible competition on land. Mating happens in the ocean and occurs immediately after pups are weaned. The pregnancy rate for adult females is about 85%.

Visitors

The trail passing the overlook is very heavily trafficked, and many stop in to check on the latest seal news. On Friday, seal watchers reported the first whale.

Disturbances

A pickup truck stopped at the base of the pier, a trespassing beach walker, and a low flying helicopter frightened the seals. If you walk the beach, please do not hesitate to let people know the seals are not threatened by Covid-19, but they are by human disturbance. For information on Sealwatch, call (805) 684-2247.

More Info

The Carpinteria harbor seal rookery is located immediately east of Casitas Pier, between the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve and Carpinteria State Beach. Please remember not to bring dogs, bicycles or loud voices to view the seals. Harbor seals, when disturbed, may flee and become separated from their pups. Volunteers ask that dogs remain outside the rope area at all times. Volunteers needed. Call (805) 684-2247 or email carpsealwatch@gmail.com. To find out more, visit carpinteriasealwatch.org.

Housing is expensive in Carpinteria, in Santa Barbara County, and, in fact, in all of California.

Here in Carpinteria, we walk on the beach in short sleeves in the middle of winter while much of the country deals with below-freezing temperatures and snow. (Yeah, when I am on calls with my coworkers in Chicago or Rhode Island, I really enjoy bringing up the topic of the weather.)

In Carpinteria, we enjoy our remarkable outdoor recreation opportunities, our clean air, our human-scale buildings and our overall small-town character. It is obvious this is a desirable place to live, and many, many more people would like to live here.

The basics of supply and demand tell us that this high demand pushes housing prices up. Therefore, the argument goes, we need to increase supply – build more housing – and that will reduce prices.

No. It’s not that simple.

As I have written before, the Carpinteria Valley already has more working people living here than there are jobs here.

That means that building more housing will simply allow more people currently living in Ventura, Oxnard – and even further south, who work in Santa Barbara and Goleta – to move here to reduce their commute. On top of that, with more people working from home post-Covid, housing here can be occupied by people working anywhere. This is called “highly elastic demand,” and it means as soon as supply increases, there is more demand to snap it up. The end result of building more homes on housing and rental prices? Pretty much nothing.

Dr. Harvey Molotch, a professor emeritus of sociology at UC Santa Barbara and at New York University, and a Centennial Professor in the Cities Program at London School of Economics, wrote a fascinating column on this general topic in the Santa Barbara Independent last fall (tinyurl. com/more-housing).

In that piece he cites the case study of Vancouver, Canada where housing inventory was increased by allowing higher density. Starting in the early 1990s, Vancouver approved huge downtown high-rises and increased densities in residential areas. The result of this grand ode to the free market was that Vancouver became North America’s second least-affordable city, behind only San Francisco.

The causes of this policy failure have been studied in detail. The conclusion is that when developers build more units on the same amount of land, they sell the units for prices comparable to lower-density units, even though the cost of land per unit to the developer is less.

Carpinteria is beginning local implementation of California’s recent legislation related to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and SB9, the law requiring cities to allow one additional residential unit

Twenty-story condos and apartments along Carpinteria’s beachfront and throughout town would definitely increase supply. But any effect on prices would be due to the loss of desirability of Carpinteria as a place to live.

onto parcels zoned for single-dwelling units. The goal of these state laws is quite similar to what was attempted and what failed in Vancouver. We will see how it works out here. Money will change hands. Some landowners will profit. But in the end, it is likely that little will change in overall housing prices.

It is possible that if you go far enough with increasing supply, it could have an effect on housing prices. Twenty-story condos and apartments along Carpinteria’s beachfront and throughout town would definitely increase supply. But any effect on prices would be due to the loss of desirability of Carpinteria as a place to live. The ridiculous density and the resulting traffic, noise, air quality impacts, etc. would be staggering. Quite simply, fewer people would want to live here, so prices would finally go down. I am pretty sure this is not how we want to make housing prices more reasonable.

What’s left? The only path to affordable housing in such a high-demand environment is for our local governments, both city and county, to step up and implement appropriate affordable housing requirements for all new residential developments, and for any commercial development to offset its impacts on residential demand. The tools for such local control are in place now but are not always used to the necessary extent.

As the city of Carpinteria continues on its General Plan update, and begins the update of its Housing Element, these considerations must be front and center.

While Carpinteria is part of the regional jobs and housing market, we still have sole control over planning decisions made right here in our town.

Mike Wondolowski is president of the Carpinteria Valley Association (CarpinteriaValleyAssociation.org), a local organization dedicated to maintaining the small beach town nature of our community. In his 30 years of involvement in planning issues, he has witnessed visionary successes, as well as decisions that were later widely regretted.

When not stuck indoors, he can often be found enjoying Carpinteria’s treasures including kayaking and snorkeling along the coast, running or hiking on the bluffs or the Franklin Trail, or “vacationing” as a tent camper at the State Beach.

“The Second Worst Restaurant in France”

By Alexander McCall Smith

Portico Reeves is a 10-year-old boy who lives in a castle (an apartment building) with his parents, his grandmother, his cat and his best friend, Zola. He has anxiety, what he calls “the frets,” and Zola helps him ease his anxiety by teaching him meditation techniques. Zola suggests he take on the persona of a superhero and Portico comes up with his alter-ego, Stuntboy.

Stuntboy helps others through his stunts, including his parents who are preparing to move to separate floors of the “castle.” Portico witnesses them arguing and refers to these incidents as the “Mean Time” since his parents will ask him to occupy himself “in the meantime.” Raul the Third’s illustrations bring the story to life and the book toes the line between novel and graphic novel.

Reynolds’ writing tackles heavy subjects such as anxiety, divorce and bullying with humor and sensitivity. Recommended for “Diary of Wimpy Kid” fans. “Stuntboy, in the Meantime” is available at the library with your library card.

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

Alexander McCall Smith is my favorite light fiction author and anything Gallic is my favorite subject. France – the air, light, scenery, relics, edifices, art, fashion, people and literature – ah! the language itself. And the cuisine, tres bon! It is heresy to imply that there are two “worst” restaurants in France!

Leave it to McCall Smith’s droll, sweet storytelling to tell a tale of village life in the rural countryside where tragedies, secrets, friendships and care for one another abound.

Food critic and author Paul Stewart has just signed a contract to write “The Philosophy of Food” but his home life is not conducive to the quiet he needs to complete the tome. Paul’s older, beautiful, eccentric cousin Chloe suddenly invites him to join her journey to a remote French village where she is staying in a shared estate. What a perfect venue to complete his task in near solitude.

Au contraire! Solitude, peace and quiet are not readily available. Hard labor in the kitchen, teaching, even childcare engulfs Paul into the universal adventure called Life. In this bucolic setting Paul increases his admiration of Chloe’s spirit, forms friendships he would otherwise never have bothered with and brings forth the budding talents of a natural-born young French chef. And he saves a restaurant!

Thus, another country village is added to the culinary tours of France.

Uh oh! A Scottish cook saves a French chef and his café? A second heresy!

—Megan Shannon, volunteer, Friends of the Library

The National Endowment for the Arts awarded the Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center with a $50,000 grant, the center announced last week.

The grant is part of the American Rescue Plan, helping organizations recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. It was awarded to 56 recipients across California. The money, according to the arts center, will be used to fund the center’s operations specialist and outreach director positions.

“Just 11 months after opening our newly renovated Charles Lo Bue Gallery and Arts Center, we faced significant challenges due to the pandemic, forcing us to close our doors in March 2020,” Linda Rosso, the center’s executive director, said.

“In efforts to continue to engage with our growing audience, we immediately transitioned our offerings to a virtual platform with a record number of participants. Our adult and youth classes were offered online via Zoom with no cost to participants.

As a result, the arts center did not earn any income from class fees and operated at a loss although we continued to pay our teaching artists their full fees,” she explained.

The center resumed in-person activities in April of last year.

Arts Center announces new board members

The Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center has announced three new members for its Board of Directors: Christie Boyd, Jesus J. Gonzales and Lenny Price.

Boyd, whose parents were artists and musicians, was a co-owner of the boutique, Porch, for 11 years. Her two children attended Carpinteria schools.

Gonzales, a Carpinteria native, has worked at Santa Barbara City College (SBCC), Ventura County Community College District, and other secondary schools as a dean, vice president and tenured professor. He previously served as the president of the Carpinteria Valley Historical Society.

Price has lived in Carpinteria since 1991, where he and his wife raised their two children. He has worked as a banker, manager, facilities engineer, in sales and more.

He earned an associate degree from SBCC, and has extensive musical experience performing in the area with several local bands.

“We are fortunate to have such a passionate volunteer leadership team working together to create and execute our vision for the Community Arts Center,” Linda Rosso, executive director, said. “For 20 years, our diverse Board of Directors has inspired creativity by providing a diverse menu of cultural exhibits, innovative workshops, educational programs, and special events that enrich the lives of the young, and the young at heart.”

Other board members include: Chairman Alan Koch, Vice Chair Tim Cohen, Treasurer Carla Stein, Secretary Robert Stokes, Advisory Board Chair David Powdrell, Kathy Dubock, Lynda Fairly, Leo Fortunato, Debbie Murphy, Roland Rotz and Nini Seaman.

Local firefighters help fight 700-acre Big Sur Fire

BY EVELYN SPENCE

Three Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District firefighters were called up last week to help fight a fire in Big Sur in Monterey County.

Acting Captain Taylor Barnett, who traveled to Big Sur on Jan. 22 to help contain the Colorado Fire along with Engineer Mike Morrison and Captain Noah Tunney, said the trip was Morrison’s last strike team before his retirement from the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District. Morrison has worked in Carpinteria as a firefighter since April 1998.

“It was kind of a special one for us,” Barnett said.

“We had a great strike team, everything went well. Nobody got hurt, nobody got injured,” he added.

The three were called up to Big Sur on Jan. 22 and came home on Jan. 27, along with several other local engines from Ventura, Montecito, Santa Barbara city and Santa Maria.

Barnett, who just hit his five-year mark with the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire protection district, said the team mostly focused on “mop-up,” patrolling the road and putting out any residual fires.

They focused on the area between Palo Colorado Canyon and the Bixby Bridge.

“Our assignment was patrolling, mopup, and we put a hose lay to help contain part of the fire and improve the containment percentage,” Barnett said.

Barnett said there were no injuries, and over 500 people working on the fire. His team and others worked in 24 hour on and off shifts.

“We’re not always up all night, but

“It was kind of a special one for us…

we’re up there and we’re patrolling and there’s always somebody awake and watching the fire.”

The fire started on Jan. 21 around 5 p.m., according to CAL FIRE. “Fire investigators have determined the cause of the Colorado Fire in Palo Colorado Canyon (Monterey County) to be hot embers from a pile burning operation. High winds blew the embers onto nearby vegetation, which ignited the fire,” a release from the department said.

As of Monday, the fire is 98% contained.

See more about the fire at fire.ca.gov/incidents/2022/1/21/colorado-fire/.

Barnett, a Santa Barbara native, called the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District “a really good crew.”

“Since I was hired in 2017, about a 1/3rd of our department have been at Carp as long as I have or less,” he said. “I like helping the community that I’m a part of… We have a really good dynamic.”

Workability program takes trip to Christie’s on Maple Carpinteria Middle School’s workability program took a recent trip to Christie’s on Maple, where they learned how a salon operates and got the opportunity to get their hair cut and styled.

According to CMS Education Specialist Kelli Flores, the workability program allows students with disabilities to learn more about different careers, while practicing job skills.

Flores said the group greatly enjoyed the trip and “left the salon on Cloud 9.”

“The students all had an opportunity to ask questions about how to become a hair stylist, how to own a salon, etc. Each student had an opportunity to get their hair cut or styled which meant the world to then,” she said.

“Some of these students had never had a salon experience before and these stylists graciously volunteered their time for them. Each student was given a free gift after. Christie and her staff made sure it was such an amazing experience for all the students.”

Spotlight on Carpinteria photographers In this weekly series, local photographers share their recent works and inspiration with Coastal View readers.

Dialogues WORDS AND PHOTOS

BY MIGUEL BERNAL

I love creating images that emphasize light, shadow, color and the interplay of subjects. My approach to nature photography is intimate. To capture my images, I intricately study the subject in front of me and patiently wait for the best light to convey the desired mood – only then do I feel my vision begins to form. In some instances, I visit the same location several times until all elements come together and invite me to press the shutter.

Vulture culture

CVN

IN THE NATUREHOOD NANCY BARON Look up almost anywhere near Carpinteria, and you can spot turkey vultures soaring overhead. These black raptors are distinctive because of their large size, their two-tone grey underwings and tilting flight. Looking slightly drunk, vultures hold their wings in an upward V, soaring masterfully on updrafts to get the lay of the land, or swooping close to the ground to sniff for carrion. They rarely flap their wings.

Turkey vultures, or TUVU’s for short, rely on their keen sense of smell to locate carcasses. Often on my Saturday morning runs into town from our home in the foothills, I will look up to see a turkey vulture gazing down at me from atop a power pole. If I scout the ground, I will inevitably find a dead animal. If it’s dangerously close to the road, I find a way to drag it further off, so the turkey vulture won’t get struck.

My friend Alison Watt vividly described seeing a pair of turkey vultures feeding on a road-killed deer carcass.

As the car ahead bore down on them, one flew out of danger. The other did not manage to lift off in time. There was an explosion of feathers. Alison and her husband stopped and found the vulture crumpled in a heap, but still alive.

Wrapping it in a towel, she and her husband drove to a rehabilitation center.

As the vulture lay quietly in her arms, she examined it with her artist’s eye for details. Vultures have large nostrils that you can see through from one side to the other, luminous eyes and naked red heads. Their bare heads enable them to reach deeply into a carcass without making a mess of their feathers. Alison was sad to learn that the vulture later died from the impact.

Sometimes, bearing Alison’s story in mind, my husband and I will move a dead possum or raccoon off the road.

Or if it’s really fresh, we may drop it off in the safety of our avocado orchard beside the pond. My husband draws the line at dead skunks, although vultures do not. They can pick their way around the skunk’s scent glands, leaving them intact.

It’s amazing how quickly vultures cue in on carrion. Vultures have the most highly developed sense of smell of all birds, detecting dead animals from over a mile away. They have standards too, preferring carrion that is fresh – less than 12 to 24 hours old.

Within minutes of dropping a roadkill in our orchard, we watch them arrive.

First, they circle around and examine the carcass from all angles. Then they land and observe from a safe distance, making sure that it’s dead.

Unlike their maligned reputations in movies where they pounce on things even before they are dead, Turkey vultures are cautious, even circumspect.

Vultures do not hunt at all, instead fulfilling the job as nature’s clean-up crew. They are well equipped with powerful beaks to do their job efficiently, tearing through a dead animal’s hide to access the flesh and entrails.

The boldest vulture will finally ap-

The others move in and watch. There is a definite pecking order among the birds. The red-headed adults get first dibs. The black-headed immatures must await their turn – if there is anything left.

After eating, the vultures often like to wash up. They bath communally in our pond, gathering around the shallow end, then wading in together. As they

gingerly splash around cleaning their bodies and heads they remind me of old men at a public pool enjoying the water. When bathing, the vultures are quite companionable.

Afterwards, they dry out and sunbath. They will vie for the perches that my husband has erected to support our young fruit trees. There, they stretch out their wings to dry and warm up. The king of the castle takes the tallest perch we have erected for raptors to hunt rats and gophers. Sometimes he or she will share it with their mate. Vultures are monogamous and are attentive to their partners.

Besides being killed by cars, vultures may die from ingesting lead from hunters’ bullets, or from pot shots from irresponsible hunters who have the wrong impression about the birds.

They clean our environment of rotting carcasses that attract flies and vermin.

Eagle Scout project brings new picnic table to Fourth Beach

BY DEBRA HERRICK

On Sunday, Boy Scout Matthew Lamberti led a group of his fellow Troop 50 members in building a new picnic table at Fourth Beach and Ash Avenue. The picnic table is the culmination of the Carpinteria High School senior’s Eagle Scout project.

Lamberti has been a member of Carpinteria’s Troop 50 since he was 13, joining in 2016. He decided to pursue the level of Eagle Scout to develop leadership skills and to follow in his older brother’s footsteps.

“It is very important to me to get Eagle because it is a sign of leadership and a testament to hard work,” Lamberti said. “I have taken a lot of inspiration from my older brother who was also an Eagle Scout and of course, I can’t be the brother that didn’t get it.”

Lamberti decided on the picnic table because he wanted to provide a place where people can sit and picnic at the beach.

To complete the project, Lamberti borrowed money from his father to purchase a picnic table from Sonoma Forestry Probation Store, choosing one that is commonly used by parks and forestry services. He plans to pursue donations to cover these costs from Rotary Club.

When the picnic table arrived, there was still the moving and installation process to complete, including preparing the space at the beach for installation. The scouts built a raised platform for the table with logs, placing them in a square shape and filling the middle with sand. Lamberti chose a location that was near to trash cans, the restrooms and parking.

“After we finished the project, I came back to the table later with a buddy and had lunch there,” Lamberti said. “It really is an amazing spot. From one side you have a great view of the beach and islands and from the other you can see the mountains. I am very happy with how the project turned out!”

Following graduation from CHS, Lamberti plans to go to Santa Barbara City College for two years and then transfer to UC Santa Barbara.

“I plan to take a degree in business and finance because someday I want to start my own company,” he said.

CUSD students receive new Chromebooks

Carpinteria Unified School District students received over 2,000 new Chromebooks last week, including Sonia Aguila’s second grade dual language immersion class.

The new laptop computers were provided by the Emergency Connectivity Fund. Librarians and office staff will check out a Chromebook to students through Aeries. The laptops are equipped with DyKnow, a screen monitoring software, for teachers.

According to Canalino and Carpinteria Family schools Principal Jamie Persoon, students will have access to their Chromebooks as long as they remain within CUSD.

Sonia Aguila’s second grade class received new Chromebooks last week, along with 2,000 other students across the district.

5 ways to increase your optimism today Try to incorporate these tips at a slow and steady pace until you don’t just see the light at the end of the tunnel, but you’re actually walking out to meet it.

WELLNESS WARRIOR LEAH HARDING We are living in a world of unknowns right now. Many people are still out of their offices, or they have kids with school schedules that can change with no notice.

The economy may be closing in on a recession and let’s not forget, we are facing Covid-19. Still.

The question is, are you facing the situation head on or falling into a slump?

Of course, I’m hoping you say the former. But I know that’s not the reality for many, as I speak with clients day in and day out who tell me that their mental health has been a bigger challenge during the last few years than before. Some even say they’re experiencing mental health challenges that they have never had before.

When stuck in depression and anxiety, optimism escapes us. We lose sight of what keeps us going each day. Oftentimes we’ll stop working out, fill our stomachs with junk food and alcohol, or binge Netflix more than normal (though some bingeing is, of course, acceptable). We end up looking at the day to day, and nothing outside of that. We unknowingly enter a dark, dank tunnel.

Optimism is the light at the end of the tunnel.

If you are an optimist, you are probably staying with a routine every day. You’re working out and eating well. You’re keeping in touch with those you love, even if you can’t see them regularly. Optimistic people are flexible with how they deal with the day-to-day and when they think about future plans and prospects.

I am sure it comes as no surprise that science has proven that optimistic people are healthier, have greater career successes and better relationships.

Just because our lives have been upended in recent years doesn’t mean that you can’t still look positively on what’s ahead. Here are five ways to get your optimism flowing: Look on the bright side by using visualization. Remember that thing called neuroplasticity I spoke about last year (CVN, Vol. 27, No. 20)? Neuroplasticity is the ability our brains have to change.

Visualization helps rewire your brain to be more positive. Take pause to truly see yourself changing and how that looks and feels. This couples nicely with the next tip.

Focus on what you can control, what you can change and what you can accept.

Create new routines that work for you now and focus on the things that are in your control so you can accept them. If it’s an option, you can try and change your situation, but don’t be disappointed if it’s not possible. There will always be things in life we want to change but are

unable to, regardless of if it is during a pandemic or not.

Surround yourself with positive people. There’s nothing worse than a friend who is a “Debbie Downer.” Don’t let others bring you down with their negative thoughts and emotions. Remove yourself from the situation. Your friend may also be going through a rough time. Instead of commiserating, support them by doing something you both enjoy together. If that’s not an option, minimize the time and energy you put into the relationship for a while so that you can get a better grasp on your own mental health.

Ditch the doldrums of the news and social media. I could go on and on about how much disdain I have for social media, so I’ll leave it at this: social media has been proven to increase depression and anxiety. Who needs that?

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on March 17, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept. 5 of the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara, Anacapa Division, at 1100 Anacapa Street, P.O. Box 21107, Santa Barbara, CA, 93121-1107.

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

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

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

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

Real estate market continues to stun

THE QUARTERLY REPORT J O N - R YA N S C H L O B O H M

From Carpinteria to Goleta, there was a 21% increase in home and condo sales in 2021 compared to average sales volumes for the years 2015–2019.

We continue to have very few properties for sale and when they hit the market, they usually go under contract very quickly.

2020 was an unexpected year for residential real estate. When forecasts predicted economic crises, real estate boomed with prices rising in Carpinteria, Santa Barbara County and in most national markets – the opposite of what people expected to happen.

The year that followed, 2021, showed that this market has endurance with steadily rising prices. Because of the Santa Barbara area’s desirability, even with an increased year-over-year inventory in homes on the market, buyers far outweighed sellers and home sale prices broke new records. So many people would like to call our area home!

2021 Highlights: Carpinteria to Goleta Record sales volume: Last year we saw record residential sales volumes from Carpinteria to Goleta. There were 2,216 homes and condos sold. This represents a 21% increase over our more typical years (2015-2019 average sales volume was 1,826 sales).

Record prices: When we look at the impact on sales revenue, we also see a stunning uptick. In 2019, the total dollar volume of sold properties was roughly $3 billion; in 2020, revenue was just over $4.1 billion (up 36%); and in 2021, it was some $5.4 billion (up 29% year-over-year).

Record low inventory: We also saw record sales prices with the median sales price steadily rising. At the end of 2019, the median home price was $1,258,000. At the end of 2021, the median home price increased by 49% to $1,875,000.

Record low inventory: With so few properties available towards the last few months of 2021, our total average number of homes and condos available for sale ranged between approximately 100–130 properties. In short, we only have a few weeks of inventory. Historically, it is around three times this amount.

Record luxury sales: All price points experienced record years, but our highend market was staggering. In Montecito, the median sale price reached roughly $4.2 million in 2021 (compared to $2.9 million in 2019).

Carpinteria highlights

Just like the greater Santa Barbara area, Carpinteria experienced rapidly rising prices in 2021 and an increased sales volume. We continue to have very few

High-end sales from Carpinteria to Goleta experienced a staggering increase in the past two years, with 308 homes sold over $5 million and 72 sold over $10 million. properties for sale and when they hit the market, they usually go under contract very quickly.

In 2021, Carpinteria’s total sales volume increased by 39% compared to 2020.

There were 223 homes and condos sold in 2021 compared to 160 in 2020. For the year, 98 homes were sold in Carpinteria in 2021 verses 85 homes in 2020.

Condo inventory dramatically increased last year, bringing in 66% more condos for sale – that’s 125 in 2021 compared to 75 in 2020.

Prices are also up significantly. Carpinteria’s median single family home price was $1,390,000 in 2021, a 27% increase that makes up a roughly $300,000 increase over 2020’s median: $1,095,000.

Carpinteria’s median condo price for 2021 was $695,000. In 2020, it was just under $650,000. The year-over-year increase was 8%.

Condo prices didn’t start to increase significantly though until the second half of 2021, so the median does not fully capture the complete increase in value. This is true overall. Because prices have been bumping up more and more through the year, our median price doesn’t fully account for where the market is at today.

If you would like to know more about where the market is at today or have questions regarding your property, we are always thankful for the chance to talk.

We are looking forward to the year ahead!

THROWBACK

Rincon voices: Bill Robbins

Rincon Point’s irresistible beauty has attracted many photographers over the years, from LeRoy Grannis to Ron Stoner to Steve Bissell and Jimmy Metyko.

One of the most important on the list is lifelong surfer and Carpinteria resident Bill Robbins. An iconic Robbins image from 1965 is now on view (along with a collection of other Rincon-related art) at the Carpinteria Arts Center through Feb. 20. You don’t want to miss it!

Robbins originally arrived in our area in the early 1960s from the South Bay. He settled in then-quirky Summerland (“a funky beach town and tight little community”) for its proximity to excellent surf and to photography’s holy of holies: the Brooks Institute.

Despite interruptions for the Vietnam War (Brooks’ accrediting didn’t mesh with the draft board’s view) and a forced switch from Brooks to Pasadena’s Art Center College of Design after a disagreement over hair (Brooks wanted Robbins to cut his hair, and Robbins’ reasonable view was that hair length didn’t affect his photography), Robbins finished up with a top-notch training in photography.

Fast-forward a few decades and Robbins had built a successful commercial photo business working with many of the best New York advertising agencies and at Sports Illustrated. His client list reads like a who’s who of American business. By 2000, Robbins was back at Brooks, but now as an instructor. After the institute’s closure in 2016, Robbin continued to teach budding commercial photographers, moving to Mount Saint Mary’s University in Los Angeles. When not in the classroom, on location or in his studio, Robbins still has plenty of time for surfing, including regular meetings of the Wednesday Wave Warriors, a club of surf veterans at Refugio Beach.

Surf life

One of Bill’s mentors along the way was surf photography pioneer LeRoy Grannis (1917–2011). The New York Times called Grannis “the godfather of surf photography.” Noticing that Grannis used a 600 mm Century Optics lens, Robbis set his sights on getting the expensive item for his own work. The purchase set in motion a lifetime spent capturing the surfing life.

In his 1965 image now at the art center, Robbins captured friend Eric Arneson in action. The picture is beautiful not just for the board slicing through the wave

Representative Salud Carbajal presents the commemorative U.S. flag to Carpinteria High School in a pregame ceremony.

Carpinteria celebrates 50th anniversary of Title IX with flag ceremony

BY RYAN P. CRUZ • PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING

The Warriors athletic community showed up to Carpinteria High School’s freshly refurbished gymnasium on Friday, Jan. 28, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the historic Title IX legislation, which opened the door for women in sports when it was passed in 1972.

In a ceremony hosted before tip-off of the girls basketball game against Hueneme High School, Representative Salud Carbajal gifted a special U.S. flag that flew over the Capitol in Washington, D.C. to Superintendent Diana Rigby.

“It was flown over your Capitol,” Carbajal said. “The Capitol that signifies democracy over the years.”

The flag, which will now fly in Carpinteria’s gym, was dedicated with a special performance of the National Anthem by the CHS Band. Carbajal and Rigby were joined at half court by former Warriors standouts including Carlina Gonzales and Hall of Famer Michelin Shaeffer; Assistant Principal Kristen Nemann; current Athletic Director Pat Cooney and former directors Lou Panizzon and Van Latham; former coaches Dan Mercer and Jacque Geary; both girls basketball teams and the two-woman officiating crew.

After the flag dedication, the game was underway. The Warriors had just come off a tough road loss against Fillmore a few days before, and were hoping to ride the wave of excitement from the flag ceremony and snag their first league win of the year.

Hueneme jumped out to an early lead, but a strong second quarter comeback gave the Warriors a one-point lead at halftime, 19-18.

The second half was a back-and-forth battle for the third quarter, but Carpinteria fell silent on offense in the fourth and couldn’t make up the deficit, taking a tough 28-43 loss.

“We were not able to convert on many scoring opportunities and scored only two points in the fourth period,” said coach Henry Gonzales.

One day later, the Warriors hosted a rematch with the Fillmore Flashes. Carpinteria played a strong first half on defense, holding Fillmore to 12 points, but the Warriors couldn’t get enough

offense and went into halftime down 7-12. The second half was even slower on offense for the Warriors, who were held to five points on the way to a 12-43 loss.

“The second half was a struggle for us,” Gonzales said. “Though the effort was there, we could not get back in the game.”

The loss puts the Warriors at 2-14 overall, and 0-6 in league, as the team heads into overdrive for a final push of rescheduled games this week. On Thursday, Carpinteria hits the road for a final league game against Nordhoff High School.

SHORT STOPS

BY RYAN P. CRUZ • PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING

Goalkeeper Angel Silva earned his first full shutout of the season with 21 saves against Nordhoff.

Young talent leads Warriors boys soccer to first win

Lilli Nemetz and the Warriors have been on a roll, winning seven games in a row.

Warriors cruise through league play with four more wins Carpinteria’s girls water polo team is wreaking havoc in the water, with seven straight wins, and four in a row in league play in the past week alone.

The Warriors followed up a three-for-three performance the week before by carrying that momentum into a jam-packed schedule with four games from Jan. 25-31, starting with a blowout win over Fillmore, 20-6.

After the big win, Carpinteria headed to Ojai to face league rival Nordhoff. Junior Ainslee Alexander helped the Warriors jump out to a quick 5-1 lead with two goals in the first quarter. After heading into halftime up 6-3, Carpinteria locked in on defense, shutting the Rangers out for the remainder of the game for a final score of 9-3.

Seniors Jocelyn Pena and Piper Clayton were the standouts of the match; Pena was the leading scorer with three goals, while Clayton scored two.

The next day, Carpinteria continued its Citrus Coast League domination with another road victory over Hueneme, 9-0. The Warriors shutout the Vikings 15-0 in their last meeting just a week before.

In the most recent meeting, sister combo Piper and Devyn Clayton led the charge, and the Warriors had the chance to play the team’s younger talent like freshman Guilia Piccoletti, who pitched in a goal in the victory.

On Monday, Carpinteria extended its win streak to seven, and stayed unbeaten in league play with another win in a rematch at home against Nordhoff, 14-4. This was the second time the teams played in five days, with so many games rescheduled due to Covid.

Pena, Clayton, Alexander and Briana Rodriguez scored three goals each in the win, while junior goalie Erin Otsuki snagged 16 blocked shots and 3 steals.

The Warriors move to 14-4 overall, and 6-0 league as they prepare for their final home game of the season against Santa Paula.

Carpinteria boys basketball gets two league wins

Jared Zapata attempting a basket while surrounded by Hueneme players.

In a busy week with four league games, Carpinteria’s boys basketball team swept Hueneme for a homeand-away series for two important Citrus Coast League victories.

After losing 33-46 to Nordhoff, Carpinteria prepared to host Hueneme for a Thursday night matchup.

Matt Garcia led the Warriors with 25 points, while Kainoa Glasgow dropped 12 points in the 54-29 win.

Just two days later, the teams met up again­—this time in Hueneme— for a Saturday afternoon battle.

This game would be a lot closer, but once again the combo of Garcia and Glasgow proved too much for the Vikings, and Carpinteria took the second win in a row 47-43. Garcia led the team with 18 points, while Glasgow pitched in 15.

On Monday, Carpinteria hosted Santa Paula, but the packed schedule had both teams tired, and the Warriors fell behind for a 44-53 loss.

Glasgow led the charge for Carpinteria with 21 points, and Garcia finished with 16.

Carpinteria is now 2-4 in league play, with two games left in the regular season. The Warriors will finish the season on the road Friday at Fillmore.

The Warriors broke into the win column this week with a 2-0 victory at home against Nordhoff.

Sophomore Angel Zepeda continued his standout season, scoring both goals in the victory. Freshman Brennan VanWingerden played a part in both goals: assisting Zepeda for the first goal and earning the free kick converted by Zepeda for the second.

“Overall team effort, relentless attack and determination were some of the determining key factors in tonight’s performance and first league win of the season for this group of dedicated young men,” said coach Leo Quintero.

Goalkeeper Alex Silva also grabbed 21 saves in the win, and earned his first full shutout of the season.

Two days later, Carpinteria headed to Santa Paula for a hard-fought battle that ended in a tough 1-2 loss. After heading into halftime tied 0-0, the Warriors fell behind 2-0. A long-range shot from Steven Zermeno gave the team life with 15 minutes left, but Carpinteria was unable to score an equalizing goal.

In their final road test of the year, the Warriors went to Malibu, and Zepeda added to his season with a goal in the 20th minute to tie the score at 1-1. Both teams remained deadlocked through the final whistle and into overtime to give the Warriors their second tie of the season. Carpinteria is now 1-5-2 in league play with one final rematch at home against Malibu on Friday.

Warriors girls soccer drops three in a row

Carpinteria struggled on the pitch this week, and were shutout for three league games in a row.

The Warriors lost to Nordhoff on the road, 0-1, before losing two games back-toback at home against Santa Paula, 0-3, and Malibu, 0-1.

Carpinteria is now 0-7-1 in Citrus Coast League play.

Cate Rams Roundup

Cate’s boys basketball team is on a tear, with a 10-game win streak dating back to the beginning of December.

The last time the Rams lost was a 44-47 late-minute shocker against Sanger on December 2, 2021, the team’s third game of the season. Since starting 0-3, coach Andy Gil and the Rams—led by Mason Oetgen, Ethan Ligon, and Babacar Pouye—have been undefeated. More importantly, the team is still unbeaten in the Frontier league at 4-0.

The Rams have had more than a month off, after the holidays and following Covid complications, and returned to the court after 39-days off with the same momentum they left with. In the past week, Cate has defeated Foothill Tech (51-38), Villanova (65-49) and Laguna Blanca (79-43).

Cate’s girls basketball had a tougher time against Grace Brethren. The girls had an even longer hiatus, and took the court after not having played in 46 days. The Rams jumped out to an early lead before falling behind for a final score of 33-37. “Going into the game, we anticipated that it would be a challenging battle due to the fact that we haven’t played a game since early December,” said coach Laura Moore.

On the boys soccer pitch, Cate hosted Santa Clara for a Thursday night matchup.

Junior forward Oscar Livingston scored early, and senior defender Ricky Valente drilled another goal in the 50th minute to help bring the Rams the 2-0 win. Goalkeepers freshman Matias Hood and sophomore Ben Richmond teamed up for the combined shutout.
