Obituary

Sue Ziliotto 03/01/1942 – 01/21/2024

Sue Ziliotto, beloved daughter of Wesley and Iva Harrison, born on May 1, 1942, passed away unexpectedly in her sleep on Jan. 21, 2024.

She leaves behind several stepchildren and grand-stepchildren from her first marriage to Michael Omo: stepdaughter Gwen Omo, children Nikki and Kevin Qualls, and great-grandchild Raelynn Mckel, all from Texas.

From her marriage to John Ziliotto in October 1993, she leaves behind Christy Madden and her children Matthew and Kimberly; Doug Ziliotto and his children Ryan and Sophie; and her son Hudson, and John’s daughter Staci Ziliotto. Sue was a lifelong member of the First United Methodist Church in Santa Barbara, where she was baptized and remained an active member throughout her life.

A woman of deep faith and compassion, Sue was a member of the Interfaith Prayer Shawl Ministry, which she founded in 2007. Through this ministry, she and fellow members knitted or crocheted prayer shawls, providing comfort and solace to those facing illness, bereavement, and other challenges, and to families to celebrate a newborn baby. These prayer shawls were not only distributed locally but reached far and wide, extending their warmth nationally and internationally.

She also served in many ways at her church: she served on various committees including Staff Parrish Relations, organized the apparel for the Living Nativity

for many, many years, and dressed many shepherds, Wise Men and Holy Families.

She sang in the choir from the age of five, and she was active in Women of Spirit.

When Sue and John helped together at many events such as church fundraisers and pancake dinners, even swing dancing to delight the crowd, you could tell Sue had found the love of her life.

Sue’s commitment to community service extended beyond the church. She served on the boards of several non-profit organizations, including Domestic Violence Solutions, the Santa Barbara Symphony and the Santa Barbara Women’s Club, to name a few. Her dedication to rebuilding communities was evident when, upon retiring in 1999, she and her husband John Ziliotto joined Interfaith Arson Rebuild Teams. Together with members of B’nai Brith, they worked tirelessly to reconstruct churches, primarily in the deep south, destroyed by arson.

As an ardent animal activist, Sue devoted her time to the National Search Dog Foundation and actively rescued senior dogs for adoption. Her love for animals and her passion for their well-being had a lasting impact on the lives of countless furry companions. There is even a nice enclosure at DAWG that has the Ziliotto name on it. They also contributed to the fund that trains rescue dogs for firefighters and so enjoyed attending the dog graduations when they went into service.

Sue’s involvement with MERRAG (Montecito Emergency Response and Recovery Group) showcased her commitment to emergency response, where she and John served on the board in various capacities. As a Santa Barbara native, she and her husband shared a strong sense of community and pride.

Sue Ziliotto’s legacy is one of love, service, and compassion. She leaves behind a community enriched by her selflessness, a church strengthened by her faith and a world touched by her kindness. She will be dearly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her. May she rest in eternal peace.

Services will be held at First United Methodist Church at 305 E. Anapamu St. in Santa Barbara on March 9 at 11 a.m.

St. Joseph Chapel reopens to the public

The St. Joseph Church Chapel on Ash and Seventh Street in Carpinteria has reopened to the public after the completion of recent refurbishments, spokesperson Ruthann Morrison told CVN on Tuesday.

“We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have contributed their time, effort, and resources to make this refurbishment possible. Your dedication and hard work have truly made a difference,” Morrison said. “A special thank you goes out to our parishioners, who have patiently waited for the reopening of the chapel. Your unwavering support and understanding have been greatly appreciated throughout this process.”

The new stained-glass windows were created by parishioner Pete Flynn, after the original windows “sustained irreparable damage,” Morrison said. The wood surrounding the windows was done by Jeff Tortorelli of Tortorelli Creations, who also refurbished crucifix hanging over the main altar.

The church celebrated the reopening on Monday, Feb. 5 with a mass led by St. Joseph Church Association Pastor Fr. Rene Haarpaintner.

“We invite you to come and witness the beauty of the newly refurbished St. Joseph Chapel for yourself. The stunning stained-glass windows and intricate woodwork are truly a sight to behold,” Morrison added.

English language masses are held at 7:30 a.m., Monday through Saturday, and Spanish language masses are held at 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Congressman Salud Carbajal discusses legislation highlights from last year

BY JUN STARKEY Congressman Salud Carbajal, who represents the 24th district of California, recently sat down with CVN to discuss some of his legislative highlights of 2023 – the majority of which were a bipartisan effort. Carbajal’s district covers the entire Santa Barbara County, as well as parts of San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties.

Carbajal spoke about the extensive legislation passed in previous years, and the efforts it took to reach across the aisle.

Despite the Republican majority focusing on culture wars, he said, 2023 was a very successful year for the United States Congress. “Seventy five percent of all the bills I’ve passed are bipartisan, despite the gridlock,” Carbajal said.

Some of the legislation Carbajal has been most proud of, he said, included the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, which introduced more than $200 billion into infrastructure programs nationally, promoting nationwide access to high-speed internet, repairing bridges and roads impacted by climate change and improving the American public transit system.

Carbajal was also proud of his involvement in the Red Flag Law in California, which allows citizens to receive a gun violence restraining order (GVRO) against someone who could be a danger to themselves or others. These GVROs can only be obtained by someone who has been in close contact with the person named in the petition, including family members, co-workers, employers, household members or teachers.

Incumbent Congressman Salud Carbajal is one of three people on the March 5 ballot for the 24th district seat.

Carbajal, who serves on the House Committee on Agriculture, also told CVN he has worked to move forward “programs that support our farmers.”

Another bipartisan law that was reintroduced last year was the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, which provides a pathway to immigration to American farmworkers and their families as long as they have been employed in an agricultural setting for at least 180 days in the past two years. The act was introduced by Representative Dan Newhouse of Washington, as well as Carbajal, and several other representatives – Republican and Democrats – from California, Idaho, New York and Texas.

Planning Commission approves Carpinteria Avenue mixed-use development Plan for 24-unit commercial and residential project near Ninth Street moves forward

BY RYAN P. CRUZ Back in December 2022, when the city got its first look at a proposed 24-unit mixed-use residential and commercial development for 4745 Carpinteria Avenue – a location currently occupied

by Sun Coast Rentals – it seemed like a far-fetched idea, too big and unfit for the neighborhood.

But since then, it has been back and forth through the review boards, with the developers going through various new designs and working with concerned neighbors to find a compromise that would work for the area.

The latest version of the mixed-use development came to the Carpinteria Planning Commission on Monday, Feb. 5, where the commissioners expressed support for the project. This project is among the first to use the state of California’s new density bonus laws to push the needle on bigger, denser developments.

The commission first saw the project at a joint meeting with the Carpinteria City Council and Architectural Review Board (ARB) in December 2022, where the project looked much different. At the time, there were concerns from the board and the public about the compatibility with regards to size, bulk and scale.

In May 2023, the ARB held a conceptual review where it seemed that the project was “headed in the right direction,” according to Project Planner Brian Banks, but the board urged developers to work with neighbors along Ninth Street.

When it returned to ARB in August 2023, it received mixed reactions and split vote, and the project applicant requested a continuance to refine the design and try to win over the rest of the ARB. Then in October 2023, the project received preliminary approval from the ARB, though the board still had reservations about the size, and specifically asked that the Planning Commission consider this when undertaking the next level of review.

“We’ve really run the gauntlet – three times at ARB – to really push and pull the project and address the comments,” said the project’s applicant, Edward DeVicente of DMHA Architecture.

During that time, DeVicente said the project’s developer, Justin Klentner,

COURTESY GRAPHIC

The 24-unit mixed-use residential and commercial development, slated for 4745 Carpinteria Ave., has been scaled down since it was first proposed in December 2022.

“We’ve really run the gauntlet – three times at ARB – to really push and pull the project and address the comments.”

––Edward DeVicente of DMHA Architecture

CEO of Western Built Construction, met with neighbors to have a “dialogue on designs.”

Klentner spoke at the meeting, where he addressed some of the concerns regarding his intentions with the property.

He said that he lives in the community and has done multiple projects with his family running the construction end. He said the reason he was willing to invest so much in the property was because he was bidding against an investment group from Orange County and a hedge fund from New York, adding that he wanted to work with the community to find a project that made everyone happy.

“I’m not here to run in and rush out,” Klentner said. “I’m happy to work with the community because I am the community.”

Klentner promised to keep working with the community as he has since the beginning, when the project had a proposed 6,000 square feet of commercial space and a three-story massing in the early renderings.

Now the project has been scaled down, with the commercial space reduced by a third to 4,000 square feet. The number of units is still the same – 24 – though now there are fewer one-bedroom apartments.

In total, there are four one-bedroom units, 16 two-bedroom apartments and four two-bedroom “townhouses” proposed for the project.

During public comment, several community members and neighbors again expressed concerns over the size of the project, which aims to squeeze a cumulative 64,000 square feet of development into 0.87 of an acre.

Commenters criticized the size, the parking impacts and the views for neighboring properties. “Would you want that property built in your backyard?” one community member asked.

One neighbor worried that the minimal setback along Carpinteria Avenue would create safety hazards for cars trying to turn onto the street, while others worried that the project was far too dense for Carpinteria.

Planning commissioners also addressed the density, which is the result of recent state housing laws that are pushing for more affordable housing and making it more difficult for local governments to oppose projects that promise that housing.

“I don’t like the state mandates,” said Planning Commissioner David Allen.

“But they are the mandates.”

He said the priority of making housing more available has become a “constraint” for the city, but that a mixed-use housing and commercial development is “absolutely appropriate” for Carpinteria Avenue. He also applauded the applicant for adjusting to the comments from the community and city review boards.

“It’s good to know the applicant worked with the city,” Allen said. “That’s what we look forward to with future applicants.”

Chair Jane Benefield had similar comments, saying, “I think the hammer that came down from the state was a little too big for a small town. On the other hand, any housing is good housing. And this project has a lot of good things about it.”

Commissioner John Moyer pointed out that with the current state regulations and potential for more in the future, denying this project may backfire and end up with the city having to live with an even bigger development.

“That’s just the reality of where we’re at,” Moyer said. “We’re never gonna get what we want, we’re gonna have to get what we need and be happy with it.”

The commission considered continuing the project to ask for more changes, but after further discussion, Community Development Director Nick Bobroff suggested a “compromise-type solution.”

The compromise included several specific conditions: that the four units along the creek side of the property be shifted three feet in; that there be an on-site manager; that each unit be provided with WiFi service; and that there be a provision prohibiting unsightly structures on the roofs (for example, no satellite dishes).

Under these conditions, the commission voted 4-0 – with Commissioner Katherine Salant abstaining – to approve the development plan and coastal development permit and allow the project to move forward.

At the same meeting, the planning commission appointed its new chair and vice chair. Commissioner Glenn LaFevers was unanimously voted in as the new chair, and Commissioner Allen was unanimously chosen to take the spot of vice chair.

Storm brings 3.34 inches of rain to Carpinteria Gov. Newsom declares state of emergency for due to California storms

BY EVELYN SPENCE The early February atmospheric storm that hit California last week brought 3.34 inches of rain to Carpinteria between Saturday, Feb. 3 and Tuesday, Feb. 6, according to data released by the National Weather Service. Nearby, Summerland reported 4.96 inches of rain during that same period, while Montecito Hills saw 5.77.

California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on Feb. 4 in response to the powerful storms that hit the area, as multiple high wind warnings, wind advisories and flash and flood watches were issued across the state.

Santa Barbara County also proclaimed a local emergency due to the storm, in response to heavy flooding, downed power lines and multiple fallen trees. Two units on Hollister in Goleta were red tagged on Feb. 4 after a tree fell on a condo complex, and multiple units in Isla Vista – with over 45 residents – were evacuated on Tuesday due to cliff erosion. Residents were later allowed to return in Isla Vista, but an exclusion fence was installed to restrict bluff patio access, County Fire spokesperson Scott Safechuck said.

“This powerful, slow moving, atmospheric river storm system struck California and Santa Barbara County, and impacts are expected to continue for several days. The County Public Works Department is in the process of assessing damage to infrastructure countywide, with preliminary reports indicating flood control and roadway systems functioning as expected,” county spokesperson Jackie

Ruiz said in a press release on Monday.

Ruiz added that the storm presented a “serious risk of rock falls, flooding, landslides, debris flows, severe winds and coastal flooding” countywide.

“Ensuring the safety of every resident and the many first responders involved in storm response is the county’s top priority,” County Executive Officer Mona Miyasato said in that same press release. “It is critical that our teams are resourced to prevent damage to structures, infrastructure, and our agricultural resources.”

The county of Santa Barbara also issued mandatory evacuations across the south coast for properties along waterways associated with the Thomas, Cave and Alisal burn areas, as well as several campgrounds, on Saturday, Feb. 3; those evacuations were later lifted on Monday.

City of Carpinteria spokesperson Olivia Uribe-Mutal told CVN that the city did not experience significant damage in the storm, but that one unnamed business did experience some flooding.

The county will continue to see rain through at least Friday at 6 a.m., according to the National Weather Service. Rain from Thursday onward will be generally light; 0.25-0.75 inches are predicted for the coast, with 1-1.5 inches in the foothills.

Wind will continue to hit the south coast through 10 p.m. Thursday, with peak gusts hitting 20-40 mph.

Residents should avoid beaches countywide for at least three days after rainfall. Contact with stormwater runoff can cause rashes, fever, chills, ear infections, diarrhea and vomiting.

District should protect students, no matter cost

Information about the termination of the former Carpinteria Unified School District (CUSD) teacher, Jay Hotchner, is now available on the Santa Barbara County Superior Court website, despite his legal attempt to seal the records, asserting it would cause him “irreparable harm, including embarrassment.”

The documents show an educator who extensively abused his authority, acted inappropriately towards students, with some incidents indicating intimidation and grooming behaviors. As a mother of two CUSD students, the details are disturbing.

In the Santa Barbara Independent, the former teacher derisively downplayed the reasons for his termination and the sensitive testimonies of over 40 students and adults as “throwing spaghetti.” In last week’s CVN, he falsely claimed “the commission dismissed as unproven all the charges.” Contrary to his narrative, the commission found that he “engaged in inappropriate and/or unprofessional conduct,” but did not find him unfit to teach.

This commission’s decision is profoundly shocking and disheartening. It acknowledged that the testified incidents occurred, but deemed them inadequate reasons for termination, and suggested sensitivity training. Must an educator inflict physical assault on a child for termination to be justified? Waiting until physical misconduct cases surface is too late, leaving communities lamenting the lack of prevention, such as in the December 2023 judgment against the Santa Barbara Unified School District, awarding $25 million to a victim of grooming and sexual assault.

Despite the legal costs, Superintendent Diana Rigby and the CUSD Board of Trustees’ decision to appeal is the only option. The growing financial burden must be weighed against the risks. Can we afford to wait for a victim to file a lawsuit before taking decisive action in the interest of the safety and security of our children? Can we afford to let an inappropriate and unprofessional former teacher with lapses in judgment back in the classroom?

the court of public opinion.

The propaganda machine is working overtime, trying to use the repetition of false allegations through anonymous documents delivered though inter-district mail to teacher’s boxes, anonymous social media postings, emailing powerful parents in an attempt to sway the narrative with the community. Maybe if the lies are repeated enough times, people will start believing them? The CUSD earns an A+ for their union-busting efforts and an F in fiscal responsibility and educational stewardship.

Just think of how many students could have benefitted if the amount of time, energy and money that was wasted on this persecution had been channeled into making our schools better.

Roy Lee right choice for Supervisor

Roy Lee is an honest, kind and smart business owner with deep roots in our community. He has lived in Carpinteria for decades and recognizes how to prioritize Carpinteria’s needs and wants. Roy will not embarrass us and will always display common sense. He is not an outsider and surely will be accessible and approachable. He is not thin-skinned. He will focus on housing, safety and overall small-town quality of life.

Das Williams promised marijuana tax revenue of up to $25 million dollars per year, and six years in, the tax revenue doesn’t even pay for his ordinance and its overhead costs. Carpinteria was sacrificed by this career politician who

has never had a private sector job. His priorities and values are not in line with our small town. Das’ goal is to run for congress, but there is one much better option when the time comes and I hope she runs.

It’s time to remove the stench of marijuana and Dohassen Gault-Williams; Roy Lee is the clear choice.

Hector Navarro Carpinteria

Roy Lee better for community

I’m an active community member in the city of Carpinteria, operating my business there and being a recent resident.

I’m writing to express support and help others who are trying to make a decision on voting for the First District Supervisor role.

Supervisor candidate Roy Lee, who currently serves on the city council, is the change that this jurisdiction needs.

I have known Lee personally both as a business owner, councilmember and community support leader. Lee exemplifies the care and intelligence needed to help make discerning decisions that protect the people of the region while also supporting businesses and residents’

quality of life. Lee is honest, dedicated and can be counted on to have your voice be heard and heeded when key decisions are being made that impact all.

Specifically, Lee supports protecting our environment and making sure corners are not cut when protecting flood plains and our beaches. Health concerns; finding options for affordable housing alternatives; and the ongoing issues with cannabis near our schools, negatively impacting the community, are top priorities for him.

Lee wants to hear from you! If you are a business owner or resident, vote for Roy Lee. The change we need!

City should make pickleball a priority

Carpinteria is in urgent need of more pickleball courts! Currently, the city just has two temporary courts at Carpinteria Middle School, with access limited to only after school hours. The exponential growth in the number of players over the past two years has led to a tremendous increase in demand. The lack of available courts and long wait times discourages new players from joining the sport and causes many current ones to drive considerable distances to courts in other communities.

Pickleball appeals to a diverse demographic, spanning age, gender and socioeconomic status. Investing in permanent pickleball courts aligns with the city’s commitment to providing accessible and inclusive recreational opportunities for all residents, in particular the senior community. It would be safe to say about 80% of our players are senior or approaching that age. By addressing this need promptly, we not only meet the increasing demand for pickleball, but also contribute to the overall wellbeing of our community.

Finding a suitable location for more courts and expediting construction needs to be a priority in the city council’s 202425 Work Plan.

Carpinteria English teacher promotes student success in local poetry contest

BY JUN STARKEY Local educator and Carpinteria High School (CHS) English teacher Chrissy Gilbert has spent more than 10 years encouraging her students to participate in the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Santa Barbara (MLKSB) Poetry and Essay contest. As of 2024, more than a dozen of her students have taken home awards from the contest, a testament to both Chrissy’s teaching methods and her students’ skills.

Gilbert was recently celebrated throughout Carpinteria for her students taking the top three spots in the 2024 MLKSB Poetry and Essay contest: Sara Fakinos, Evelyn Calkins and Angel Santana. Fakinos, Calkins and Santana won first, second and third place, respectively, in the 13-18 age poetry contest.

Since Gilbert began teaching English more than 10 years ago, at least 15 of her students have placed in the competition, and dozens more have participated.

It was trial and error getting her students to write, Gilbert told CVN. She began by framing it as extra credit, which didn’t work out – less than a handful of students would voluntarily write a poem or an essay. “It’s hard to get students to write sometimes,” she said. Gilbert finally got her students to participate by making the assignment mandatory, but she continued to offer “a lot of extra credit.”

Gilbert would also tell students how important the assignment is to her; it is one of her favorites of the year. The MLKSB poetry contest is held annually, orchestrated by the Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr. Committee of Santa Barbara.

Gilbert joined the committee’s board of directors in 2017, and currently serves on the advisory board.

“I tell them to think about American heroes… and how important Martin Luther King Jr. is to our society, and that his work isn’t finished,” she said.

Gilbert will work with students throughout the process, and students may also turn in a rough draft, worthy of extra credit in Gilbert’s class. The majority of Gilbert’s class participates in the competition, and she said there are “usually a handful” of students who win every year.

“I enjoy assignments where students write for a purpose and think about how to improve their communities,” she said.

Students with winning poems and essays read them live at an event at the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara, which Gilbert said her students have enjoyed. Last year, one of her students walked from Carpinteria to Montecito, before catching a bus to the Arlington, for the live event.

“Students are impressive and rise to the occasion when you show them the way,” Gilbert said.

Cate School seniors to host tours of Carpinteria tide pools

Senior students in Cate School Marine Ecology program will give guided tours of tide pools at the Tar Pits and Jelly Bowl beaches on Friday, Feb. 9 from 3:30–5 p.m.; and Saturday, Feb. 10 and Sunday, Feb. 11 from 3–5 p.m.

“The students have been studying coastal and marine ecology, and decided they’d like to offer their services to the community this weekend during the low tide,” Beth Caylor, a Cate School science teacher, told CVN. “My students are certainly not experts, but they’re loving this subject and would love to help local kids find cool organisms, teach good tide pooling etiquette (how to avoid hurting the animals!) and just talk about the ecosystem with an audience.”

Caylor’s students have been studying the intertidal ecology for the past two months, she said, and are looking forward to teaching attendees how to spot organisms, proper tide pooling etiquette and providing information about the ecosystem.

There will be six to 12 students present for each session, each wearing their blue Cate t-shirts. Those with questions about the event may contact Caylor at beth_caylor@Cate.org.

Westmont to hold 35th annual high school mathematics competition

Giovanni’s Pizza will move to former Fosters Freeze location The Good Plow will close Feb. 11

BY EVELYN SPENCE Carpinteria’s Giovanni’s Pizza will relocate down the street in the coming months to 5205 Carpinteria Ave., owner Shawn Noormand told CVN. The spot is currently occupied by The Good Plow, which will close on Feb. 11.

“My lease was going to be up this year, and I really wanted to stay in Carpinteria,” Noormand said, explaining that he took over The Good Plow’s lease once he saw it was for sale. “Options are very limited for restaurants in Carpinteria. All the restaurant space is being devoured up very quickly.”

Giovanni’s new lease is active for the next 18 years, Noormand said – “putting me at 70 years old when it expires,” he told CVN last week. “I’m excited. The landowners… are super amazing, they’re super excited to have us move into the space.”

While there is no exact move-in date yet, Noormand said he is hoping to be open in the new location by mid to late March, after some renovations to the place.

Noormand also plans to serve Fosters Freeze’s original soft serve with a chocolate-dipped cone. Fosters Freeze operated in The Good Plow’s current spot for nearly 60 years before it closed its doors in August 2020, drawing in many with its signature soft serve ice cream cones.

Giovanni’s will remain open at 5003 Carpinteria Ave. until the move. “We’re hoping to have a very streamlined move – close 5003 Carpinteria Ave. one night and open 5205 the following day,” he said.

Giovanni’s has been open since 1987; Noormand has owned it since 1997.

“I’m sad to be leaving,” he told CVN. “I’ve spent more than half of my life there.”

He told CVN he isn’t familiar with what the plans are for Giovanni’s current space but says that as far as he knows – contrary to rumors that spread around Carpinteria earlier this month – there are no plans to demolish the building.

COFFEE, CAREER AND KIDDOS T E R E S A A LVA R E Z Do you ever have moments when you can’t believe you’re a parent? I’ve been having a lot of these moments lately, especially on days when I still need my mom myself. My heart sometimes can’t handle that at the same time I am that person for two little boys. It’s a whole lot of responsibility, but also what a joy!

I don’t know if it’s because February is filled with hearts and messages of love or if I’m just at a stage in my life where I prioritize time for reflection, but I’m overwhelmed with love lately. As I think about how much I love my kids, husband, friends and extended family, I think about how important it is to love myself. Some-

Giovanni’s Pizza is leaving its current location at the corner of Carpinteria and Linden avenues in the coming months, heading down the street to the spot currently occupied by The Good Plow.

He also currently has no plans to host a goodbye party, citing concerns over live music complaints.

The Good Plow – an organic, farmto-table restaurant – was opened in 2021 by owners Katie and Jason Lesh. The restaurant announced on its Instagram that it would be closing on Feb. 11.

Jason Lesh told CVN that the restaurant was not making any money. “We have a really awesome, loyal clientele that are incredible, and we’re super heartbroken to leave them,” he told CVN on Tuesday.

“I would just like to say thank you to everyone who has had our backs, from the Kickstarter that we started, to the city who held our hands, to our insanely loyal, ride-or-die customers,” he added.

“Above all, I’m a Carpinterian through and through.”

He also urged Carpinterians to prioritize eating at locally owned restaurants, noting his concern with several new Goleta or Santa Barbara-based restaurants coming to Carpinteria in the coming months through the 700 Linden Ave. project.

The Good Plow will close on Feb. 11, after three years at 5205 Carpinteria Ave. Giovanni’s Pizza has secured a lease on the property for the next 18 years.

“There’s only a certain number of people who eat out in Carpinteria,” he said. “…Support the local businesses you care about.”

Moving forward, Pacific Health Foods, at 944 Linden Ave., will carry The Good Plow’s bread items, Jason said. The pair ’s Farm Cart Organics

and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) boxes – which they operated before opening The Good Plow – will also continue operations; keep an eye out at farmcartorganics.com. The restaurant’s Instagram, @thegoodplow, will also soon transition to tackling farming-based topics.

Love starts from within

times that is the hardest part.

As women, we have been conditioned to constantly pour from our cups. I see it with my mom. There is still a lot of unlearning she has had to do to take a moment to herself and not feel guilty about it.

We’re working on that together. I’m learning it’s essential to prioritize myself to be a better person for those around me. I’m making a concerted effort to look inward because love radiates from me. If I’m not in a place where I love and appreciate myself, it’s hard for me to be open to genuinely receiving and giving authentic love. This can look like acknowledging the strength of my body instead of pointing out its flaws and praising myself for small wins instead of focusing on not attaining larger goals fast enough. Sometimes, it’s going to my favorite yoga class in the morning. Other times it’s hanging out with friends who fuel my soul, or sitting outside reading a book. The key is taking time to fill my cup before it’s depleted.

Carpinteria Children’s Project is committed to helping even the newest moms learn this essential skill. In partnership with Earth Milk Moon, we focus on prenatal and postpartum support groups. Mild depression is common as new moms adjust to being the center of

As women, we have been conditioned to constantly pour from our cups. I see it with my mom. There is still a lot of unlearning she has had to do to take a moment to herself and not feel guilty about it. a tiny human’s universe. Having a strong network and established self-care habits at this point of transition and recovery from birth can mitigate the effects of mild depression. More severe postpartum depression or psychosis demands treatment, but self-care practices are still part of healing. Building these practices while in the trenches of new motherhood is hard.

Join me on a self-love journey. Let’s do something daily that feeds our soul or gives it water for sustenance. If we want to teach kids to love and empathize with others, we need to model that for them – it starts with us. How are you showing yourself love today?

“Wish You Were Here”

by Jodi Picoult

“How to Know a Person”

by David Brooks

My book recommendation this month is a non-fiction, self-help book. Don’t stop reading yet – let me make the case.

David Brooks has authored a new book called “How to Know a Person.” The subtitle of the book is “The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen.”

As we recover from the pandemic years of canceled gatherings, loss of friends and family without proper good-byes, limited access to people we love and other isolating incidents, we can be rusty at connecting with others. Our online social discourse has gotten aggressive and uncivil, and we have largely lost the ability to disagree without taking it personally.

Brooks’ book attempts to provide a road map back to kindness with some wonderful anecdotes, some self-deprecating examples of his own mistakes and very simple practices that can make a big difference. Brooks discusses the struggles most of us have and encourages us to lean into our strengths. He provides a few examples of good conversations, asking questions, being interested in what people have to say. From the book jacket: “All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood.”

Brooks helps us do better, have deeper conversations, lift people up instead of tearing them down. It is not the answer to societal ills; however, after reading his book, I found myself feeling more generous toward others and listening more carefully. This practical, how-to guide is interesting and surprisingly easy reading and I encourage you to give it a try. It would make for a good book discussion for a book group and possibly a wonderful Valentine’s Day gift.

The book is available in print, ebook and audio formats at the Library and also available at Carpinteria’s new bookstore, Lantern Tree Books.

––Jody Thomas, Carpinteria Community Library librarian

Jodi Picoult’s “Wish You Were Here” is a contemporary masterpiece. Relevant, imaginative and compelling – with quite the twist at the end – this novel about the pandemic turned the world on its head.

An early epicenter was New York City, specifically, the emergency rooms at the local hospitals. It is here Picoult sets the scene for the reader.

Finn is an ER doctor, working an incredible amount of hours, engaged to Diana. They are days away from embarking on a vacation to the Galapagos Islands.

However, while Diana is isolating and planning their itinerary, Finn is battling Covid-19 on the front lines, tending to his patients on ventilators and dodging the illness to the best of his ability. Diana’s mother dies of the virus in a nursing home.

The turning point has Diana declining Finn’s proposal and going on vacation by herself. Or is she on a ventilator fighting for her life? Diana’s descriptions of the Galapagos will leave you questioning which is real.

––James Tunberg, Friends of the Carpinteria Library

CVN’s Seal Watch weekly report, written by Seal Watch volunteers, covers activities at the Harbor Seal Rookery. The group can be reached at carpsealwatch@gmail. com or at (805) 364-3194. The rookery is located immediately east of Casitas Pier, between the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve and the Carpinteria State Beach.

Due to the early February storm, Seal Watch data for Sunday, Feb. 4 was not available.

NATURAL HISTORY NOTES

Male and female seals are indistinguishable unless their bellies are visible. Females have nipples, while males have a penile slit that looks like a belly button.

Either may be well nourished and moving about, and a number of times Seal Watchers have heard viewers suspect a male is about to give birth because of its size and movements.

VISITORS

The lookout count until stopped by rain Sunday morning was 1,006. People came from Brazil, Sweden, Argentina, the United Kingdom, China, Portugal, France, Iowa, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Idaho, New York, Nevada, Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Colorado, New Jersey, Utah, Florida, Montana, Texas, and Washington, D.C.

DISTURBANCES

The seals were frightened by a jet ski, the train whistle and a security car with flashing lights by the pier turnaround.

Members of the Rotary Club of Carpinteria Noon prepare for the Rotary Talent Showcase during a recent meeting.

Noon Rotary prepares for Rotary talent show in April

Members of the Rotary Club of Carpinteria Noon recently gathered to prepare for the upcoming Rotary Talent Showcase auditions. The club will hold auditions for the talent show on Wednesday, Feb. 21, from 6–9 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 25 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Alcazar Theatre. The Rotary Talent Showcase will be held on Saturday, April 20 at 6 p.m. at the Alcazar Theatre, 4916 Carpinteria Ave.

Please consider honoring the Marine Mammal Protection Act and not walking the seal sanctuary beach all year. Do not 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 always remain outside the rope area.

Carpinteria Seal Watch has begun its annual volunteer schedule during the pupping season. Seal watchers do some monitoring of our local seals year-round; we would like to increase visitor services and data collection year-round, but more volunteers are always needed. Contact Seal Watch at carpsealwatch@gmail. com or at (805) 364-3194 if you’d like to help.

On the first Thursday of each month, CVN publishes the Honor Roll to thank readers and advertisers for their generous support.

For the past 14 years, this support has played a critical role in keeping CVN in the stands each week and full of local news that cannot be found in any other media. The outpouring of support inspired by the Honor Roll has established a deeper connection between the newspaper and its readers. Additionally, the hundreds of names that appear in the Honor Roll send a message to advertisers: Carpinterians are dedicated to their local newspaper.

In turn, the staff of CVN is dedicated to its readers. As the publishers of your community newspaper, we appreciate the relationship we have with you, our readers, and we pledge to keep bringing you all the news of the Carpinteria Valley.

see him get the board he wanted (feeling perhaps that I’d somehow let him down since he wasn’t excited about the board I’d made him). But I couldn’t do it – I could not give him that board.

And I was so close to giving it to him.

He even offered another $60 (which would have done little for me, and I would have just been stuck with an esoteric design – the one he’d said he wanted – that would have been hard to sell). Relenting in the end, he let it go and I kept both boards, agreeing to shape him another next time he’s over here. But not without suffering mightily, both with the sense that I’d not met his expectations with the board I shaped for him, and that I was possibly being stingy about not giving up the one that he did like.

My strong instinct to keep the board I wanted was so right in the end. I’ve since ridden that board in big hurricane surf in Maine at a rock reef island (which generated a good number of sales in New England), during numerous fun days in our local waters, and at the big day in late December at Rincon where a photo another friend took ended up bringing a lot of attention to the shapes I’m doing.

The point of all this, I suppose, is a very public reminder to myself (and to anyone else who struggles with being a “people pleaser”) that if I did what I said I would do, and the wants of another person interfere with my plans, I am under no obligation to do anything I don’t want to do. Because when I think about everything that has accrued to that one surfboard, and I imagine these past six months of surfing without it, I actually feel fear for the loss, or the absence, that would have been the result of disregarding my strong inner voice. (Even if I’m not always strong enough to express out loud what that voice tells me.)

So, I have a friend who has resurfaced in recent years, both of us having continued surfing through the decades since adolescence in Newport Beach when we first knew each other. But aside from a few mutual acquaintances through whom we could have possibly crossed paths again, it’s unlikely that we would have met at this stage in life, as he lives in New Zealand – except, of course, social media now makes these connections more possible.

We communicated through Instagram, where I post regularly about the surfboards I’m shaping. He sent a message, and it turns out his folks have a place in Ojai. Last summer, this old buddy of mine was up visiting from New Zealand with his wife, and we got a chance to compare notes on how the past 40 years or so have gone.

It seems that every gig, job and position we’ve each held turned out to be more-or-less in the service of surfing. It’s hard to say who has the better resume (and I’m not really comparing, I swear!) but his house way down in the south of the South Island seems pretty sweet, as does his career as a tenured professor.

(That situation fell apart, however, due to Covid-19 and strict vaccine mandates.)

Naturally, as I now make surfboards for a living, and we both hail from the same era and answer to the same code of surf-absolutism laid down for us in early 1980s Newport (it might seem like a posh place to have grown up, but surfing standards were strictly enforced there), my friend was keen to have me make him a board. I quickly shaped a nice channel bottom single fin so it could go out for glassing and come back before he returned to New Zealand.

I thought it came out beautifully – at the very least a vast improvement over the backyard craft he was riding at the time – but after some days examining

I’d shaped another board for myself in the same batch of boards that had come back from the glass shop – a beautiful 8’3” eight-channel single fin I dubbed the “Mid-Length for Black Belts.” This board was a second or third attempt at a concept I’d begun about six months prior, and I’d finally hit the marks I’d envisioned for the design. My buddy also loved the look of

the board, and asked if he could take that one instead of the one I’d shaped for him.

Unable somehow to just tell him I couldn’t let that board go, that I had plans for it, I instead agonized for about 20 minutes, trying to find a way to make it OK that I didn’t want to give him this board. I wanted to be “cool,” wanted to

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

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

Seven-year-old Wexler the Welsh Terrier of Carpinteria stays active with his favorite activity – showing off tricks on his family’s backyard rope zip line.

His owner, Lois Mitchell, said Wexler is a “strong, independent character” with a commanding bark, who always guards his territory from package deliveries. “Wex also has a snuggly side and constantly entertains his family. He is named in honor of mid-century architect Donald Wexler, and lives in a preserved 1957 Carpinteria residence,” Mitchell told CVN.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $972,073.39 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real proper ty is located.

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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 105212-CA. 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: Effective January 1, 2021,

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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp. com, using the file number assigned to this case 105212-CA 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.

THROWBACK

Rincon cuckold in a shallow grave

THURSDAY

BY STEPHEN BATES

During Santa Barbara’s rowdy 1860s, according to historian James C. Williams, nearly two-thirds of residents were male – mostly born out of state, mostly young.

A visitor in 1861 said that it was “so notorious a place for horse stealing and robbery that we have kept guard since we have been here.”

In the early 1870s, civic leaders tried to burnish the image. The area was a placid, posh health resort, they insisted, with virtually no crime. Then came a setback: the brutal killing of John Norton near Rincon Point followed by salacious murder trials in Santa Barbara.

Vince Burns and I told part of the story in Carpinteria Magazine in Winter 2023.

We’ve learned lots more since then.

The tale begins in late 1874, when John C. Norton – “a jolly, broad-shouldered Irishman,” according to the Ventura Democrat – moved from the Bay Area to a farm on the Carpinteria side of Rincon Creek, near Rincon Point.

Norton, who was in his mid-30s, lived with his wife, Carrie, and their young son and daughter. Carrie was a compact woman in her mid-20s with a strong jaw, “countrified” diction, and hair that was auburn except for a white patch on the back of her head where she had been injured.

The Nortons shared their cottage with a stocky 50-ish farmhand with tattoos, a goatee and a long criminal record. Born John M. Lockman, he had promised his dying mother years earlier that he would never again do anything to tarnish the Lockman family name. After she died, he kept his word by changing his name to Jack Cotton.

Cotton worked for the Nortons in Northern California in exchange for room and board. When the family moved to Carpinteria, he came too.

There, in Cotton’s account, Carrie Norton put on her Sunday finery on Valentine’s Day 1875 (her husband evidently was out) and began flirting. “Our intimacy began then,” he said.

Events moved fast over the next three months. By May, Cotton and Carrie were living as husband and wife in Wadsworth, Nevada, with her two children.

The corpse of John Norton, meanwhile,

BAILARD FAMILY

Carpinteria Valley farmer Andrew Bailard, shown here, discovered the remains of John Norton in a shallow grave on Rincon Point. Bailard thought Carrie Norton didn’t kill her husband, but she did help cover up the murder. lay in a two-foot grave on Rincon Point.

It might have moldered there for years if not for an alert neighbor: Andrew Bailard. Born in Germany, Bailard came to Carpinteria in 1868 from Northern California, where he had known the Nortons.

He helped them get settled in Carpinteria.

In late April, Carrie tearfully told Bailard that her husband had died of inflammation of the bowels while looking at farmland near Los Angeles. At her request, Bailard sold the Nortons’ belongings and gave her the money. She and the children headed north, accompanied by Cotton.

Bailard soon received a letter from John Norton’s sister. She reported that Carrie Norton had remarried. Her new husband was a fellow named Jack Cotton.

This, Bailard said, “led me to believe that something was wrong.” Around May 24, he mustered several neighbors and searched the Norton farm and cottage.

GLEDHILL LIBRARY, SANTA BARBARA HISTORICAL MUSEUM

Jack Cotton, left, and Carrie Norton pose for a studio portrait in San Francisco after the murder of Carrie’s husband. At trial in Santa Barbara, Carrie testified that she posed under duress.

Born John M. Lockman, he had promised his dying mother years earlier that he would never again do anything to tarnish the Lockman family name. After she died, he kept his word by changing his name to Jack Cotton.

They found a bloody, putrid-smelling stain on the floor of Cotton’s bedroom. A sand mound between the house and the shore looked disarranged. They poked a rod into the sand, struck something solid, and uncovered a corpse wrapped in Norton’s wool coat. The skull was shattered.

Wanted posters circulated widely. On June 6, police arrested Cotton and Carrie in Nevada. Somebody had spotted her patch of white hair.

In jocular jailhouse interviews, Cotton blamed Carrie. She had hired two killers, he claimed; he had helped bury the body, nothing more. The San Francisco Chronicle found his callousness toward Carrie shocking, given that she had “granted to him the greatest favor woman can give.”

Another shock followed. After convicting him of murder, Santa Barbara jurors sentenced Cotton to life in prison. He was said to be “highly elated.” Like nearly everyone else, he had expected the gallows.

Carrie’s trial ended with a hung jury, and she was retried. She denied having cheated on her husband. Cotton killed John Norton, she maintained, and kidnapped her and the children. He even forced her to pose for a studio photo in San Francisco. The prosecutor gave the photo to jurors and asked if Carrie, her hands folded on Cotton’s shoulder, appeared to be under any duress.

The Santa Barbara Republican interviewed a friend and former neighbor of the Nortons – unidentified, but plainly Andrew Bailard. He rejected not only Cotton’s contention that Carrie was wholly guilty, but also Carrie’s contention that she was wholly innocent.

“Our informant,” the article says, “is

confident that Mrs. Norton had no hand in causing the death of her husband... but he says it is also certain that she approved of the deed and has done her part to conceal it, for she had every opportunity in the world to denounce the villain Cotton and secure his arrest and conviction. Of course, there is no hope for her, although she now claims that he forced her to keep silent and to follow him. Her story is simply absurd.”

Some thought the likeliest scenario was that John Norton caught his wife and Cotton in bed, and in the ensuing fight, Cotton killed him with the butt of an ax or something similar. Carrie didn’t present that defense in her testimony, but her lawyer raised it in his closing argument. He told jurors that they must acquit her “even if Norton met with his death on discovering his wife in Cotton’s room in the very act of dishonoring his marriage bed.”

Instead, though, the jury convicted Carrie of murder and sentenced her, like Cotton, to life in San Quentin.

Both of them were pardoned, and both lived to old age. Carrie Norton was freed in 1884 and died in Oakland in 1938, age 89.

Jack Cotton was freed in 1890 and died in the Veterans Home in Yountville in 1910, age about 85. His gravestone says John M. Lockman. He’s no longer a threat to his family name.

Celebrating the 2024 winter sports seniors

BY RYAN P. CRUZ | PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING

During the last week of the regular season, winter sports programs at Carpinteria High School and Cate took the time to celebrate their outgoing seniors as they wrap up their high school athletic careers.

At Carpinteria, both boys and girls soccer celebrated their outgoing senior class. The boys soccer team class of 2024 includes Charlie Esquivel, Angel Zepeda, Daniel Velazquez, Angel Zamora, Raul Reyes, Alexis Jimenez and team manager Brandon Martinez. Carpinteria girls soccer team’s six seniors include Luna Galvan, Isela Zamora, Victoria Baker, Lucero Ramirez, Emma Miller, Lela Roberts and Yuliza Garcia.

Warriors girls water polo had a great regular season with yet another Citrus Coast League title, and the team bid farewell to its six seniors Samantha Nielsen, Sia Valikonis, Devyn Clayton, Lilli Nemetz, Sara Fakinos and Ruby Cluderay.

Carpinteria boys basketball earned a spot in the CIF postseason, and on senior night the Warriors celebrated the team’s two seniors, Jayson Dishion and Mario Serrano. And for the Warriors girls basketball squad, Carpinteria celebrated its senior class of JJ Frias, Marisol Rodriguez, Bella Velasquez and Amarisse Camargo.

The Cate Rams also celebrated the outgoing senior class. For boys basketball, the Rams said goodbye to Tyler Martinez, Shawn Cordeiro, Kristian Scurtis and Julian Lee. Cate girls basketball class of 2024 includes Riley Pan and Ada Hansen.

Warriors water polo playoff ready after winning league title

Carpinteria water polo claimed a share of the Citrus Coast League with a decisive 15-6 victory over Santa Paula on Feb. 1. With the win, the Warriors earned a firstround bye in the CIF Division 4 playoffs, and Carpinteria will face the Big 8 League champion Santiago-Corona Sharks on Feb. 8.

The stakes were high for the Warriors matchup against Santa Paula in the final game of the regular season. The Cardinals came into the game with an unblemished 9-0 record, and Santa Paula was the only team in the Citrus Coast League that was able to beat Carpinteria this year, ending the Warriors’ unbeaten league streak when the teams met earlier on Jan. 16. It was the first time Carpinteria had lost a league match in over three seasons.

In the Feb. 1 rematch, Carpinteria needed a win to have a chance at the league title, and the Warriors jumped out to a fast start in front of the home crowd at Carpinteria Community Pool.

Warriors freshman Mina Handall had the game of her young high school career, playing tough defense and scoring three goals in the first half to give Carpinteria the early momentum.

“Mina came up big for us today,” said coach Jon Otsuki. “She was the X-factor we needed.”

Senior Lilli Nemetz continued the early offensive onslaught with two first quarter goals of her own, and by halftime Carpinteria had a comfortable 7-3 lead.

In the second half, the Warriors utilized their team speed to keep Santa Paula’s offense on the perimeter while junior Giulia Piccoletti began lighting up the scoreboard, scoring four out of her five goals in the second half to help Carpinteria sail to a 15-6 victory.

Piccoletti led the team with five total goals, followed by Nemetz with four, Handall with three, Hazel Dugré with a pair and Caden Lemere with one goal. On the defensive side, Allison Banks had one of her best games of the season with 11 blocks.

“The girls put everything together today on both ends of the pool but the big difference was that we made fewer mistakes. We communicated well and we came ready to play,” Otsuki said. “The community support for the game today was outstanding and

fort and dedicated to men and women who have given their lives serving in the military.

Carpinteria High School (CHS) Athletic Director Pat Cooney announced this year’s 13 inductees, who will join 44 other Warriors in the Hall of Fame during a ceremony that will be free and open to the public on Saturday, May 2024 at the stadium. A reception for inductees and family members will be held the night before on Friday, May 24 in the gym. This will be the first group inducted into the Hall of Fame since 2013.

The 2024 inductees are: Sari Small (1960 track and field); Jerry Hamilton (1980 – football, basketball, track and field); Mike Giusto (1983 – basketball, tennis); Larissa Godkin Feramisco (1996 – basketball, track and field);

the spectators were rewarded with what Carpinteria water polo should look like.”

The Warriors are now 16-7 overall and 9-1 in league play, and with a win in the second round of the playoffs, Carpinteria will advance to the CIF Quarterfinals on Saturday, Feb. 10.

Warriors boys basketball preps for playoffs

Carpinteria boys basketball won four of its last five games, including an important 38-32 win over Fillmore on Senior Night that earned the Warriors a spot in the CIF Division 5A Playoffs this week.

On Senior Night, the Warriors gave seniors Jayson Dishion and Mario Serrano one more highlight with a solid team victory. Junior Sebastian Campuzano-Reed led the team with 13 points, while junior Sawyer Kelly added 10 points in the win. Junior Carlo Suarez pitched in eight points, with coach Jackson Hall saying that he “did a good job of attacking downhill and finishing in the paint,” along with grabbing numerous steals and loose ball recoveries.

Carpinteria finishes the regular season at 14-11 and 9-3 in the Citrus Coast League, and will face the Laguna Beach Owls in the first round of the playoffs. With a win, Carpinteria would play in the second round against the winner between Firebaugh and Arroyo.

Carpinteria girls soccer earns spot in CIF postseason

After Carpinteria girls soccer started the season at 6-0, the Warriors hit a tougher road through the rest of the season, finishing at 8-6-1 overall and 5-6-1 in the Citrus Coast League. But the team’s record was just enough to earn an at-large berth in the CIF Division 6 Playoffs, and the Warriors are now set up to play the Garden Grove League’s top-ranked team, La Quinta of Westminster.

The Warriors will play the La Quinta Aztecs at Bolsa Grande High School in Garden Grove on Thursday, Feb. 8. With a win, Carpinteria would move on to face either Garey or Alhambra in the second round.

In the second half, the Warriors bench kept the lead and Carpinteria cruised to a 45-14 win. Sophomore Jamaica Cook led the team with 20 points.

“The team victory is a good way to end the regular season,” said Carpinteria coach Henry Gonzales. “We end the regular season in third place in the Citrus Coast League, which will give us the opportunity to play in the playoffs. We look forward to continuing our season.”

Carpinteria will face the San Gabriel Academy Eagles on Thursday, Feb. 8 in the first round of the CIF Playoffs. With a win, the Warriors would play in the second round on Feb. 10.

Cate girls basketball had a tough stretch to end the season and didn’t make it into the playoffs, but the Rams ended on a high note with a 29-14 win over Santa Clara at home on Senior Night, where the team celebrated senior captains Ada Hansen and Riley Pan. “After five consecutive games on the road and two particularly tough losses against Foothill Tech and St. Bonaventure, it was wonderful to play at home in front of supporters,” said Cate coach Laura Moore. “I am sad for our seniors that our tremendous potential was cut short by a dominant league. Still, I am so very proud of the resiliency and competitiveness that the Rams exhibited this winter.”
