Goodbye Thunderbowl, Hello Skatepark

KARLSSON

Tuesday night marked a long-awaited moment for many community members: the groundbreaking of the Carpinteria Skatepark.

Surrounded by community leaders, city councilmembers, city staff and local skaters, Carpinteria Skate Park Foundation members Jason Campbell, pictured holding the check, and Peter Bonning, to his right, handed over a ceremonial check for $1,050,000 to the city – the result of over a decade of fundraising efforts. Gold shovels in hand, Carpinterians rejoiced as they broke ground on the former Thunderbowl and future skatepark, with Lash Construction Inc. now in charge of the months ahead.

“This is for you,” Councilmember Gregg A. Carty told Carpinteria skaters, who showed up in droves to celebrate.

Hospice offers help with medical advance care planning

Hospice of Santa Barbara (HSB) and Mi Vida, Mi Voz (MVMV) have launched “Get it Done SB!,” a new advance care planning initiative for both English and Spanish speakers in Santa Barbara County.

Advance care planning is a way for people of all ages to prepare for their end-of-life medical wishes. An advance directive assists individuals in making decisions about the types of healthcare they wish to receive in the event they become very sick or injured and are not able to speak for themselves. Additionally, it allows them to select a person to make healthcare decisions if they are unable to make them themselves.

Community workshops, open to the public, will be scheduled in the coming months to educate the public on advance medical care planning, along with help filling out and submitting the documents to healthcare providers.

Girls Inc. awarded grant for mental health care program

The Women’s Fund of Santa Barbara has awarded Girls Inc. of Carpinteria a $100,000 grant to implement a mental health program. The funds were part of a record-breaking $900,000 grant awarded to 11 local nonprofit agencies, including Girls Inc. of Carpinteria, reflecting the largest annual pool of contributions in the 18-year history of the Women’s Fund.

The grant will be distributed over a two-year period and will fund a licensed therapist to provide weekly therapy sessions for 200 school-age girls (age 4-18) and quarterly workshops for parents on Girls Inc. of Carpinteria’s Foothill Road campus.

Through age-appropriate therapeutic techniques, girls will be grouped by age and learn essential mental health skills such how to express themselves in

constructive ways, regulating emotions, cultivating coping skills and building resiliency. Quarterly workshops for parents will provide additional education intended to reduce cultural stigma regarding mental health support.

The grant was presented at the annual Celebration of Grants event held at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum on May 4. The event marked the end of the 2021-2022 Women’s Fund grant cycle and honored its newest grantees.

CITY BEAT Moratorium on new chain businesses to appear on council’s agenda

City staff will prep an emergency ordinance and return to the council for a vote

BY EVELYN SPENCE The Carpinteria City Council will vote on an emergency ordinance temporarily limiting new chain businesses within city limits, following a staff report and unanimous council direction on Monday night.

Following extensive discussion, City Legal Counsel Jena Shoaf Acos said the city’s legal team would work on a draft of a moratorium on new chain businesses, with a tentative return for the council’s approval at its next meeting. The council first requested a staff report on potential limits for chain businesses – also known as formula businesses – within city limits in February; while Monday’s direction is for an emergency ordinance draft, the council also expressed interest in a permanent ordinance limiting chain businesses in the city.

Councilmembers stated concerns with chain businesses specifically occupying Carpinteria’s downtown-T. “To me, our small, local business are a pillar of our community,” Vice Mayor Al Clark said, citing Councilmember Roy Lee’s own business, Uncle Chen Restaurant, as an example.

Other councilmembers voiced similar sentiments.

Community Development Director Steve Goggia told the council that some California cities have already implemented restrictions on chain businesses, noting issues where chain businesses can “squeeze out the smaller businesses.”

Per Goggia, chain businesses generally fall into a few categories: there are a specific number of locations throughout the country, generally more than 10, which all have standardized menus, décor, uniforms, facades, merchandises or other

KARLSSON

Councilmembers on Monday expressed concern with chain restaurants in Carpinteria’s downtown-T, and how that could affect small businesses in the area. They directed staff to prepare an emergency ordinance limiting new chain businesses. “recognizable appearances.”

Goggia and Shoaf Acos both referenced the city of Ojai’s chain business regulations as an example. Anti-chain business ordinances have been in place in Ojai since 2007, which outright banned future fast-food formula businesses, and required that all other chain businesses have conditional-use permits. In 2021, the city introduced a moratorium banning all future chain businesses with more than five locations.

“In California, there is a well-established history with formula business restrictions at both city and county levels,”

Shoaf Acos told the council on Monday.

“Judicial precedent in California has upheld these types of regulations.”

In Carpinteria, how a permanent ordinance might look would be at the council’s discretion. For example, council could choose to limit all types of chain businesses outright, limit only fast-food chain businesses, require all chain businesses to have conditional-use permits and so on, with the goal of preserving the city’s small-town feel, according to Goggia.

“You can craft this ordinance the way you would like it to be crafted,” Goggia

said. “There are a lot of options with all of these.”

Warner Ebbink, the owner of Little Dom’s Seafood on Linden Avenue, urged the council during public comment to pass an ordinance limiting new chain businesses in the city. Ebbink expressed concern that real estate changes in Carpinteria could lead to more chain stores.

“There are really expensive pieces of prime commercial real estate (in Carpinteria) that are going to start changing hands,” Ebbink said. “That’s not going to be a mom-and-pop business that goes in there – they can’t pay the rent.”

A near end to Highway 101 construction in Carpinteria

Public Relations Coordinator Kirsten Ayers told the council on Monday that construction in the Carpinteria segment of the Highway 101 project is wrapping up. An event will be held to open up the new carpool southbound lanes “in about a month,” Ayers said.

“We are in our final steps in the new lanes and ramps in the area,” she added.

There will be some landscaping done in the area later this summer, but construction will soon primarily shift to the Padaro and Summerland construction segments.

Councilmembers asked Ayers about the Santa Claus Lane path for bike riders and pedestrians, which will stretch through Carpinteria and end at Santa Claus Lane. Ayers said construction for that path is scheduled to start in the fall.

The council approved two proclamations: the first designated May 2022 as Community Action Month – on Com-

Councilmember Natalia Alarcon recused herself from the former’s vote, noting that she works for CommUnify.

CommUnify, formerly the Community Action Commission of Santa Barbara County, serves over 8,000 teens, seniors and other disadvantaged individuals

in the area, CommUnify’s CEO Patricia Keelean said. She thanked the council for its recognition.

“May is a significant month: it is the national community action month,” Keelean said. “(We) have grown to provide 17 different programs, including Head Start, which serves 24 different centers across the county, including Carpinteria.”

“We’re looking forward to the next 55

(years),” she emphasized.

Public Works Director John Ilasin spoke on the National Public Works Week proclamation, explaining that this year’s theme is Ready and Resilient.

Councilmembers thanked both CommUnify and the city’s public workers.

“We’re fortunate to have each and every one of you here,” Councilmember Roy Lee said.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, this year celebrated in May, CVN presents a four-week series in which mental health professionals from HopeNet of Carpinteria discuss different aspects of mental health and the resources available to residents in Carpinteria and Santa Barbara.

Addressing the youth mental health pandemic

BY BECKI NORTON, CUSD PSYCHOLOGIST

“Be sure your child is getting adequate sleep, eating healthy and getting exercise.

Ensure they spend some quality time connecting with family and friends.”

Carpinteria is coping with a mental health pandemic following the viral pandemic that has deeply affected our youth.

Due to the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2018-2019 school year was shortened by 32%. These closures and lockdowns have caused mental health symptoms such as anxiety and depression among youth; they experienced social isolation or disconnection, and suffered dislocation and food insecurity due to the economic situation. Some were affected by illnesses or the loss of loved ones, especially children of color and low-income families.

Mental health professionals have observed trends among students locally and nationally.

Cloud storage, bad for environment

In CVN’s May 5 edition, Michael Avery went out of his way to praise “cloud-based data storage” without one time mentioning its negative impact on the environment (Vol. 28, No. 33, “Partly cloudy, with more clouds and rain in the forecast”).

The “Cloud” isn’t floating in the ethers as Apple would have us believe, but it is in fact thousands of large buildings filled with massive digital data storage devices, all of which need to be kept at very cold temperatures, which depletes large volumes of local water resources and consumes huge amounts of high-voltage electricity.

In the last 10 years alone, the number of these facilities has risen from 500,000 to over eight million throughout the world, with thousands more in the planning stages. The data storage industry is just about to pass the aviation industry in generating global warming greenhouse gases, all for the sake of storing cat videos, movies and everything else we have ever posted on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, etc.

It’s hard not to get caught up in Michael’s enthusiasm for the benefits of Cloud storage, but it’s only fair that he makes people aware of the downside of all these amazing features that modern technology offers.

We need our open spaces

Parking Lot #3 is not smack dab in the middle of the business district. It is on the far end of it. The public open space there is a good transition between stores and housing.

The Surfliner Inn does not preserve the uniqueness of our community because it brings commercial farther down Linden Avenue, blocks views of the mountains and makes already bad traffic and parking worse during the summer. Some folksy architectural touches on the front do not fix a long, tall, big and boring building.

Our community is thriving. We have a beautiful location with beaches, mountains, fresh air and a charming downtown that attracts residents and tourists. Smart planning is not expanding growth farther away from downtown, but rather making what we already have be viable for the future. Our General Plan states that our goal is to “preserve the… character of our small town…” Small town means small.

Our community has a long history of residents being involved in planning for our future. We need to encourage that tradition even more. Instead of expanding outward, we should repurpose and reuse existing buildings in the downtown for new businesses that we support. We need to encourage all that enriches the lives of the people who call Carpinteria home.

We need to keep all our open spaces and celebrate them because we won’t get any more, and because that’s what people come here for. All of these things will maintain our quality of life better than a shiny big building in the wrong place.

LETTERS “Smart planning is not expanding growth farther away from downtown, but rather making what we already have be viable for the future.”

–Betty Songer

Surfliner, not the solution

I disagree with a fundamental assumption in “Surfliner Inn can help Bluffs parcel” (CVN, Vol. 28, No. 33). The author assumes the city has a budget deficit. My information is that through good times and bad times, the city always has a balanced budget.

If the city gets less revenue than it needs, it will balance the budget (think of your check book) by using money from its reserves (think of your savings account).

If the city continues to spend more money than it makes and exhausts reserves, then it will cut services. If the city makes more than it spends, it can put money in its savings account and spend the rest on services for the community. This is true for our current budget.

However, I remember a time about five years ago, when balancing the budget was tough. Revenue was not keeping up with expenses. The city was dipping into reserves, but it was getting worse every year. Two solutions were proposed: the Surfliner hotel and a local sales tax (Measure X). Measure X was approved by a landslide of voters to make sure the city had enough money to maintain our quality of life. It’s a big success and is now generating $3.5 million dollars a year.

And it’s likely to increase over the years.

It is adding to our reserves and allowing us to invest in our community with projects like revitalizing the library, building the skate park on available public land, paving roads and other public programs like supporting our arts center.

Measure X provides all these financial benefits without any of the hotel’s impacts to the community such as loss of open space, loss of mountain range views, reduction in the size of our community garden, increased traffic and loss of community identity.

Incest and rape are not a choice

Almost one-third (32.5%) of sexual assault cases involved perpetrators who were friends, 21.1% were committed by a family member, and 23.2% were committed by strangers. About 60% of rapes/ sexual assaults are not reported to police, according to a statistical average of the past five years. Those rapists, of course, never spend a day in prison. Factoring in

unreported rapes, only about 6% of rapists ever serve a day in jail. If a rape is reported, there is a 50.8% chance of an arrest.

The Republicans oppose a woman’s right to choose to have an abortion, even in cases of rape and incest. We know from the many scandals that instances of childhood sexual abuse were covered up, or that the victims were too ashamed to come forward.

Imagine, if you can, if you were a child who was sexually abused. Who do you tell when your own family members are perpetrating these crimes? Who do you blame in these situations? As an adult, with whom do you feel comfortable sharing these horrific intimate details of your life?

Most women never talk about what happened to them as children – of the sexual abuse by a father, brother, cousin or uncle – because it is too painful.

All this talk about rape and incest is really about the right to make laws forcing

women (even the adolescents) to accept that anyone who has an interest can use another’s body as they want to. There are no comparable law-making efforts to force men to accept penetration and long-term usage of their bodies against another’s will.

Sharon Dalpozzo Carpinteria

Out of control

I am a MAGA, pro-choice American. I believe women have the right to choose whether or not to have an abortion.

Today, I am outraged and disgusted by the Left, Joe Biden, the Democratic Party, Governor Newsom and the media. They are out of control. All they care about are power and money. They do not care about the safety of our border. Our economy is being ruined by inflation and excessive spending, and our energy sector is being targeted.

Most recently, they have targeted the Supreme Court justices. Recently, a possible opinion by the Supreme Court was leaked. The opinion wanted to do away with Roe v. Wade, and send the issue to the states. It did not take away a woman’s choice, but left it up to states. And what did Biden, the Left, Democrat politicians and the media do? They misrepresented what happened, threatened the justices, rioted, destroyed property and caused mayhem everywhere.

Going forward, as a pro-choice American, I am done with the Democrat Socialist Party, the media and Joe Biden. If they are not stood up to and replaced in the next election, America as a republic is done, and by extension the free world.

It’s not too late to claim tax credits

What’s new at the harbor seal rookery?

This report covers April 25 – May 8, 2022.

Most pups are now difficult to distinguish.

Natural History Notes

Very large numbers of birds also enjoy the sanctuary of the closed beach. On Sunday, an estimated 400-500 pelicans, gulls, cormorants and an unspecified shorebird covered a large stretch of beach extending to the pier. A raven tormented a turkey vulture, causing hundreds of birds to scatter but return repeatedly. The seals were relatively undisturbed.

Visitors

One visitor showed photos of a harbor seal pup that climbed onto her paddle board near Stearns Wharf.

Disturbances Two helicopters caused the seals to flee.

The Carpinteria harbor seal rookery is located immediMore Info ately 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.

Thousands of families are leaving money on the table in Santa Barbara County. That’s cash that could pay for much-needed diapers, food, rent and more. The latest numbers show that only 31,093 Santa Barbara County residents have claimed $6.1 million from the cash back tax credits like the California Earned Income Tax Credit in 2022. That’s less than last year and the year before. Don’t let your family miss out on these tax credits.

Every year, thousands of Santa Barbara County residents miss out on cash back from tax credits because they don’t file their taxes. Some people think that, since Tax Day has come and gone, they have missed out. We have good news: you haven’t! You can still claim cashback tax credits. All you have to do is file your taxes.

Both the state of California and the federal government offer thousands of dollars to maximize tax refunds and help working families thrive. There’s no penalty for filing late, and you can claim tax credits for the last three years.

With more money in your pocket, you can offset rising costs and pay for whatever you need. The tax credits you qualify for depend on how much money you earned last year and the size of your family.

In California, the Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) helps working families earning less than $30,000 a year get more cash back. Parents who qualify for the CalEITC may also qualify for the Young Child Tax Credit (YCTC), which provides a state tax credit of up to $1,000 for children under 6 years old. These credits are both available to immigrants who pay taxes with an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN), including undocumented immigrants.

The IRS also has tax credits for people with Social Security numbers including the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit. The EITC is for

Some people think that, since Tax Day has come and gone, they have missed out. We have good news: you haven’t!

You can still claim cashback tax credits. workers who earned up to $57,414 last year while the Child Tax Credit provides between $3,000 and $3,600 per child, even if you don’t have recent earnings.

Remember: the easiest way to claim your money is to file your taxes, even if you don’t normally file.

If you’re confused about how to file your taxes or worried about paying for a tax preparer, we’re here to help. Golden State Opportunity, Carpinteria Children’s Project and the Mexican American Opportunity Foundation (MAOF) are partnering to provide free, IRS-certified tax preparation in Carpinteria on May 20.

Five Carpinteria Middle School students have been accepted to the competitive STEM camp, Tech Trek: from left, Avery Galvez, Addisyn Galvez, Julie Maya, Ashley Vences Abarca and Mitzy Arenas Lagunas.

CMS to send five girls to UCSB science camp

Five Carpinteria Middle School students will attend the prestigious Tech Trek program this summer at University of California, Santa Barbara. Seventh graders Avery Galvez, Addisyn Galvez, Julie Maya, Ashley Vences Abarca and Mitzy Arenas Lagunas were nominated by a science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) teacher and selected through a competitive application process.

Tech Trek is a summer camp for middle school girls that focuses on STEM education and activities. Campers spend one week at UCSB where they live in the dorms, eat in the cafeteria, attend labs and classes, and learn what it is like to be a college student.

With the aim of encouraging girls to pursue STEM careers, the camp exposes them to a wide variety of STEM fields and occupations through hands-on experience in classes, workshops and demonstrations. Campers hear from women STEM professionals and receive guidance to help them prepare for their own future careers, including the critical next step of choosing the right classes in high school.

Through donations to support the program, Tech Trek offers full scholarships to students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend summer camp.

Tech Trek was founded by the American Association of University Women, the nation’s leading organization advocating equity for women and girls.

Measure U

The second classroom slab for Summerland School has been poured. Walls were built on the tennis courts and will begin to be set as soon as the concrete is

ready. The project is on schedule for a December move.

Measure U staff, including the District Counsel and the architect, are working with Santa Barbara County on several issues related to county requirements for the new Summerland School tennis courts. District counsel believes that the tennis courts are a separate legal parcel and as a smaller project do not seem to implicate requirement of coastal zone policies. The county surveyor is currently researching whether the tennis court is a separate legal parcel and will be surveying the job site. The district counsel is also checking whether or not the existing fence predates Coastal Development Permit (CDP) and Coastal Use Permit (CUP) requirements, which would exempt the project from the CDP process.

The construction plans are currently in the estimating process by MacGillivray and should be completed in the next two weeks. Once the price and scope of the project are finalized, the district will work with the county to determine if CDP and CUP will be required.

Diana Rigby is the current superintendent of Carpinteria Unified School District.

THE BOOK NOOK Friends of the Carpinteria Library recommend:

Thursday, May 12, 2022  15

The sometimes comic tone of “A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian” disguises many layers of a unique search for balance between nature and technology, between cultures, and between human resilience and human capacity for destruction.

—Giti White, volunteer, Friends of the Carpinteria Library

Editor’s pick:

At left, author Hal Price’s book, “A Heart’s Journey Home,” recently won the inaugural Bedside Reading Book Cover Awards.

The book was illustrated by Michael Bayouth, pictured at right.

“A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian”

By Marina Lewycka

Marina Lewycka’s debut novel, “A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian,” is a fascinating exploration of what it is like to survive atrocities and make a life in exile. The questions it asks are all the more important today, as we see terrible patterns repeating themselves in Ukraine, and realize that we could do far better.

The novel centers on two feuding sisters who are brought together when their widowed father takes a much younger, opportunistic bride. “She exploded into our lives like a fluffy pink grenade,” the book announces. The narrator, Nadia, the younger sister, is always trying to piece together a past her sister would like to forget. She searches understanding in her mother’s bountiful garden and cache of stored foods, in the poetry and philosophic musings of her engineer father, and even in the desperation of his new bride.

“STATE OF TERROR”

BY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON AND LOUISE PENNY

Last week, on a long bus ride, I finally had the chance to read a novel that my mother recently recommended, “State of Terror,” by former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and novelist Louise Penny. “A page-turner,” she told me (because she knows I love a good thriller).

Wiggling, tongue in cheek, around real-life politics, the fictional tale brings snark and charm to satirical portrayals of former presidents, staffers and senators.

At the center is Rodham Clinton’s standin, “Ellen Adams,” a U.S. Secretary of State who brings humor, humanity and a dash of sass to the “character.” The narrative slyly unwinds the sticky threads of politics and power, to reveal the intrigue behind a series of fictionalized international bus bombings. Entertaining, suspenseful and cleverly written, this is a fun read.

—Debra Herrick, managing editor, Coastal View News

Former State Beach Park specialist now children’s book author

BY DEBRA HERRICK

For years at Carpinteria State Beach, park interpretative specialist Leanne Roth was the face of many of the State Park’s community activities. Since retiring last year, Roth has focused on writing and illustrating children’s books. CVN caught up with her recently to learn more about her years at the state park and her new career as an author and artist.

CVN: How long did you work at Carpinteria State Beach and what was your role there?

Leanne Roth: I worked at Carpinteria State Beach for 12 years. I was hired as a park aide, and then because of my prior experience with children as an afterschool instructor at Montecito Union School, an aide for the Carpinteria School District, and a docent at the Arroyo Hondo Preserve, I applied for, and got the job as park interpretive specialist. I planned and implemented the junior ranger program, tide pool trips, campfire programs, school field trips and other programs.

What advice would you give someone who is interested in working for California State Parks and particularly, Carpinteria State Beach?

There are job openings at Carpinteria State Beach. Becoming a park aide is a wonderful customer service job, and a

gateway to many other options at State Parks. It is a great place for entry to become office technicians, interpreters, senior park aides, rangers, biologists, etc. As a park aide, you can choose the days you are available and that works great with school schedules.

Why did you decide to retire?

I decided to retire because the projects I am working on will require dedicated creative time. I am working on my fourth illustrated children’s book, and have some ideas about producing an educational game which would inspire and be fun when learning a new language. I also plan on producing art and science kits for kids which will be available on Etsy.

Tell us about your most recent publication.

I recently finished my third book, “Sea Turtle’s Wish,” which was inspired by my walks on the beach, and seeing “left behind” items get washed into the ocean by the incoming tide. The book is about a sea turtle whose friends get scooped up by a rogue pail.

The previous book is called “Scrub Jay Cafe.” That book was inspired by a scrub

One day I thought, I wonder what the scrub jay would feed me? I get a lot of “ew” when I read that one to kids. Who wants a rollie pollie in their guacamole?

CVN: Where can someone purchase your books?

My books are for sale on Amazon in soft or hardcover. (Leanne Roth Books will get you to the page). “Scrub Jay Café” is also for sale at the Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens.

Socca

While researching the origin of socca, I found this description from a blog entry titled, “Socca and Semantics,”

by Jeannette Ferrary. It describes socca better than I ever could: “Socca is the specialty of Nice where it is made in flat, cast iron pans a yard across; it emerges like a huge sun-gold crepe with sizzling crispy bits that tingle on your tongue. It’s a street food, made on the spot, instant gratification for tourists and native soccaphiles alike.

It tastes of its origins, the passion of its native land, its stories and legends.

There’s something primitive and earthy about socca as it takes on the color of fire and leaves the cave of its wood-burning oven. In Nice, they cut it into rough wedges and hand it to you wrapped in a paper cone. You eat it with your fingers and your grateful mouth and your whole heart.”

These thin, unleavened chickpea flour pancakes from France are traditionally made in large pans and baked in open ovens. I use an old 8-inch crepe pan to make mine but you can use a cast-iron skillet or any pan that will withstand the high heat of the oven. I flavor my socca with fresh rosemary and caramelized onions. If you are a socca purist, leave the onions out.

This recipe makes two pancakes in my 8-inch crepe pan. The recipe may be easily doubled.

Tues. – SAT. • CASITAS PLAZA • 805.684.5110

Ingredients:

1 cup chickpea flour 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 cup water 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided 1/2 small onion (chopped fine) 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary (chopped fine)

Directions:

Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Put a well-seasoned skillet in oven to get hot while making the socca batter.

Put chickpea flour in a bowl along with the salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

Slowly add 1 cup lukewarm water, whisking to eliminate lumps. Stir in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. The batter should be about the consistency of heavy cream. If too thick, add a tablespoon of warm water one at a time until just right. Cover and let sit until the oven is thoroughly heated.

Add another 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a separate skillet on medium-high heat.

Add the onions and cook, stirring once or twice, until they’re well browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the rosemary. Stir the onions and rosemary into the batter.

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (it is hot). Pour half of the batter into the well-seasoned skillet and bake in the oven for 12 to 13 minutes, or until the pancake is firm and the edges set.

Turn the oven off and turn the broiler on.

Emily will graduate from Fresno State on May 20th with her BS in Agriculture Education.

In December she will receive her teaching credential.

Carefully remove the hot skillet and brush the top of the pancake with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Return the skillet to the oven and set the pancake a few inches away from the broiler. Keep the oven door open so you can see the pancake brown. Cook just long enough to brown it in spots. Quickly remove from the oven and cut it into wedges.

Cover the pancake with a towel to keep warm. Pour the balance of the batter into the hot skillet and repeat for the second pancake.

THROWBACK

Navigating the surf by stagecoach

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

THURSDAY

BY STEPHEN BATES

Rincon Point may be known as the Queen of the Coast today, but travelers of the mid-1800s had some other words for it.

Although various stretches of the stagecoach route ran on the beach, according to historian Charles F. Outland, only in the Rincon area was travel truly dangerous. The beach abutted a steep cliff just east of the point, around what was then called Punta Gorda, now La Conchita. Often the stage had to navigate through the surf. When the tide was high, lots of things could go wrong: the horses could lose their footing, the wheels could get stuck on boulders or logs hidden by the surf, or a wave could upend the stage altogether.

It was a serious enough problem that in 1856, Santa Barbara County supervisors retained an engineer named William Johnson to propose a safer road.

According to In “History of Santa Barbara County, California,” published in 1883, Johnson recommended a wooden or stone causeway for horses and wagons, which would cost between $35,000 and $50,000.

(This was 1856 – more than 50 years before the famed wooden causeway for automobiles.) The supervisors hired a contractor to construct a road across the county, though it’s not clear whether it was to include a Rincon causeway. In any event, the contractor couldn’t finish the job, the county sued him, and any work he accomplished around Rincon Point probably got washed away in floods.

The road, accordingly, remained as perilous as ever. In 1877, the Santa Barbara Weekly Press reported on misadventures of one northbound stage. As it navigated through four feet of water near Rincon Point, a wave knocked down two horses. The driver threw the reins to a passenger, leapt into the water, and cut the fallen horses free. One of the horses tried to swim out to sea but was cast back by another wave. By now, the stage was stuck. The passengers had to wade to dry land, where they spent three hours waiting for low tide.

As terrifying as the Rincon route could be, some passengers found it thrilling.

HUNTINGTON LIBRARY

Illustrations by Edward Vischer depict the treacherous trail stagecoaches endured traversing Rincon Point in the 1800s.

Often the stagecoach had to navigate through the surf. When the tide was high, lots of things could go wrong: the horses could lose their footing, the wheels could get stuck on boulders or logs hidden by the surf, or a wave could upend the stage altogether.

After experiencing it in 1866, Thomas R. Bard told his sister that he wished she had been along: “I am sure you could not wish for a more exhilarating ride.” In 1872, a Pennsylvania newspaper published a first-person account of travels along the Pacific, including a stagecoach ride by Punta Gorda. The passenger described waves “rolling in and breaking over the horses’ backs, and into the stage, but not quite reaching us on top.” It was a “glorious experience,” he wrote, and when the wagon emerged from the waves, “we were all sorry – all but the driver.”

One of the fullest accounts, complete with illustrations, comes from Edward

Vischer. Vischer traveled widely around California in the middle of the 19th century and sketched what he saw. His drawings were published in several books. One night in 1865, Vischer was on a stagecoach traveling on the beach near Rincon Point. The tide was rising, but the driver decided to chance it. Bad call. The water rose, and it was impossible to continue or to turn back. The driver maneuvered the stage as close to the cliff as possible to wait it out.

Vischer was transfixed by the scene, with “our poor, over-taxed horses shivering in the cold, and the weather-beaten stage hanging over at an angle of 45

degrees.” The roar of the surf was punctuated by the sound of boulders thundering up and down the beach, propelled by waves. It reminded him of a funeral dirge. On the cliffside above, he wrote, the so-called Rincon volcano spewed smoke, “Vulcan’s and Neptune’s batteries, as it were, contending.”

Vischer marveled at the capabilities of the driver and the horses in the “wonderful surf-passage.” He recorded the experience in two rough sketches. His depictions don’t quite match the topography, but then, he was stuck inside the coach, with a limited perspective.

The treacherous beach passage is no more, of course, but one of its consequences lives on. In 1872, the California legislature concluded that residents of San Buenaventura (now Ventura) “often find it next to impossible to get to the county seat” of Santa Barbara, in part because the beach road “frequently, during spring tides, is impassable.” So, over the objections of elected officials in Santa Barbara, the legislature chopped Santa Barbara County in two and created Ventura County.

Stephen Bates is coauthor of a pictorial history of Rincon Point, to be published later this year. He lives in Henderson, Nevada, as well as Carpinteria.

Warriors roll through playoffs to CIF-SS Finals

BY RYAN P. CRUZ • PHOTOS BY RYAN NAKASONE

The top-ranked Carpinteria boys volleyball squad has been riding their endof-season momentum full speed, roaring through the playoffs to reach the CIF Southern Section Division 5 Championships.

After breezing through the first two rounds, the Warriors hosted Yucaipa for a quarterfinal match in front of a large Carpinteria crowd.

“We gave our crowd plenty to cheer about with our 12th 3-0 sweep of the season,” said Coach Mickey Caughey. The Warriors started strong with a 25-19 win in the first set, and continued to dominate in the second set (25-13) and final set (25-17).

“The very loud hometown crowd really helped us and we were playing some of our best volleyball of the season with our aggressive style of play,” Caughey said.

Diesel Slade and Joaquin Gonzalez once again finished with playoff double-

doubles; Slade finished the quarterfinal with 12 kills and 16 digs, while Gonzalez finished with 17 kills, 13 digs and three aces.

Gonzalez was also one of three Warriors to give the team a strong run of service points, serving up seven straight points in the first set and another fivepoint run in the third set. Libero Sebastian McCurry had his own five-point run in the third along with a team-high 28 digs on the night; Gavin Lohuis provided a four-point run in the second and a three-point run to secure the win in the third.

“Gavin also provided our hitters with 41 assists,” Caughey said, “making them look really good with the nice sets he gave them.” The home crowd and team exploded after claiming the win, and the Warriors prepared for the semifinals three days later.

At Fairmont Prep, Carpinteria faced its toughest test of the postseason in a five-set nailbiter that saw the Warriors come from behind to win the final two sets and earn a spot in the CIF-Finals.

“You can’t get much closer than that,” Caughey said, adding that it was the first time Carpinteria had been forced to five sets all season.

After taking the first set 25-22, Carpinteria dropped the second set (26-28) and third (25-27). “After we lost the second and third set, I needed to remind everyone that we got this far in the playoffs by playing aggressive volleyball and we needed to go back to that style of play,” Caughey said.

Facing elimination, the Warriors tightened up, taking the fourth set (25-22) and the final set (15-13).

“It was definitely exciting, everyone was so happy being able to qualify for the finals,” Caughey said. “We had a large group of parents, family and friends who also made the long threeplus hour trip and definitely helped us with their enthusiasm and loud cheering.

It almost felt like a home game and we are all now looking forward to the Finals next Saturday.”

through in the clutch with 20 kills each, while Zach Issac played a key role with 28 digs to go along with McCurry’s team-high 31 digs. River Taff had eight kills and five bigtime blocks, which coach Caughey said came at key points in the match. Rigoberto Perez and Lohuis provided excellent serving runs that helped the team secure the victory, including a six-point run by Lohuis in the fourth and the first five points in the final tiebreaking set. After that final run, Carpinteria never gave up the lead.

The Warriors will face Sunny Hills at 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 14 at Long Beach City College. Sunny Hills has won each of its four playoff games in 3-0 sweeps.

Carpinteria tennis drops close match to defending CIF champs

The Carpinteria boys tennis team has had a strong year, led by Coach Charles Bryant and brothers Austin and Max Stone, but after losing a tight match against defending CIF champions Foothill Tech, the Warriors’ 2022 campaign has come to an end.

The elder Stone brother, star senior Austin, closed out his storied career with yet another 3-0 performance in singles play. In his four years as a Warrior, Austin has made a habit of sweeping his singles sets.

“We will lose the strongest player I have had here at Carpinteria High School in the past eleven years in Austin Stone,” said Coach Bryant. “It was almost a done deal to get three wins right off the bat. That will be hard to replace that efficiency.”

His younger brother Max defeated Foothill Tech’s second-best singles player 2-1.

Doubles duo Connor Gralewski and Matthew Endow swept their sets 3-0, but three close losses in doubles play proved too much for the Warriors to overcome and Foothill Tech advanced with a 10-8 win.

“It is hard when you play close enough to win but just cannot get that last little bump to put you in the win column,” Bryant said. He added that the season was “tremendously successful” with some big non-league wins and a Citrus Coast League championship.

He also reminisced on the careers of the team’s three other seniors, Ben Persoon, Zaiden Juarez and Ian Thomas. Persoon and Juarez have been starters for three years, he said, and they have improved vastly each season.

“Our two year captain, Ian Thomas, did an amazing job leading this team which was not easy at times,” Bryan said. “But his cool demeanor and competitiveness rubbed off on his teammates and took them to the next level. These four seniors will be greatly missed and I know our younger players are grateful for the impact that was made by them.”

Carpinteria finishes the season 14-6 overall and 8-1 in the Citrus Coast League.

Carp swimmers take on higher division at CIF

After the Warriors boys took home the Division 4 CIF title last year, both the boys and girls teams were moved up to compete in Division 3 this postseason. The program has continued to improve this year, and Carpinteria was able to send a team of 11 swimmers to the CIF Finals at Marguerite Aquatic Center in Mission Viejo.

Erin Otsuki qualified for the finals, taking seventh place in the 50-meter freestyle and 100-meter backstroke.

The Warriors set five new school records on the day, with Mathew Lamberti setting a new best in the 100-meter freestyle and both the boys and girls relay teams setting two new school records each.

Erin Otsuki joined Piper Clayton, Lilli Nemetz and Guilia Piccoletti for the 4x100 and 200 medley relays, with the girls qualifying for the finals and setting school records in both races.

The boys relay team of Lamberti, Asher Smith, Justin Main and Jackson Melton repeated the same feat as the girls in the 4x100 and 200 medley relay, breaking the previous school record and qualifying in the 100-meter relay final.

The eight qualifying members of the team returned on Saturday for the finals, ending their seasons on a high note, with the girls finishing 10th out of 48 schools and the boys finishing 18th overall.

Coach Jon Otsuki praised the team for competing at a higher level against bigger schools. “Although it was a humbling experience as many were unable to qualify for finals in Thursday’s preliminaries, they responded exceptionally well at finals. “ Otsuki’s daughter, Erin, continued to impress in her first year of organized swimming competition by earning eighth place in both the 50-meter freestyle and 100-meter backstroke.

“This was her first ever ‘big' meet in her young swimming career,” Coach Otsuki said. “To finish in the top eight is an exceptional feat.”

Senior Piper Clayton finished 16th in the 200-meter freestyle, and teamed up with the rest of the girls relay team to finish eighth in the 200 medley relay, and sixth in the 4x100 – breaking the school record in each race. The boys relay matched that with new school records in both the 200 medley and 4x100 relays.

“This was a great experience for everyone who was on the CIF travel team,” Coach Jon Otsuki said. “There was the reality check that moving up a division is a big challenge and getting to the podium will not come easily. There were friendships and memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. We had a great many successes in Carpinteria aquatics this year and we look forward to many more to come.”

Cate boys tennis ends season in close match

Lela Roberts runs the 100-meter hurdles at the CIF Prelims.

Cate’s winning season came to a dramatic end in the first round of the CIF playoffs, with the visiting Burroughs Bears claiming the victory in a 9-9 tie that was decided by games won.

“The match really could not have been any closer,” Cate Coach Jason Saltoun-Ebin said. Both teams were locked at 3-3, then 6-6 and finally 9-9. Burroughs took the win by a margin of four games.

In singles junior Jengus Ercil, junior Will Vanica and sophomore Ethan Bloom all picked up wins. Bloom and Vanica will have the opportunity to compete in the CIF individual doubles tournament at Carpinteria High on May 19.

Anthony Pozos is May pool standout staff member

Carpinteria Community Pool has announced that Anthony Pozos is the aquatics program’s Standout Staff Member for the month of May. Pozos, who is a lifeguard, enjoys working out, fishing and riding his bike.

Community Pool staff said Pozos “commits himself 100% to every task and always double checks his efforts to meet his own high standards. He prides himself on staying focused on school despite the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic and work.”

Nathan Carrillo clears nine feet in the boys pole vault.

Three Warriors finish strong in CIF Prelims

Carpinteria hosted the CIF Track and Field Prelims, where senior Mateo Handall secured a trip to the CIF Finals with a new personal record of 51.02 seconds in the 400 meters.

Handall’s time was good enough for second in his heat, and eighth overall, making him the only Warrior to qualify for the finals.

Junior Ainslee Alexander was Carpinteria’s next best finisher, and she capped off an impressive season by finishing 11th in the triple jump and earning a spot as the second alternate for the finals with a jump of 32’11.5’’. She is also the second alternate for pole vault in the finals with a clearance of 8’6’’.

Carpinteria’s Ben Smith earned a spot as the second alternate in the boys’ pole vault final, with a new personal record of 10’.

The Finals will be held May 14 at Moorpark High School.

Heather Day launches affordable floral statement business

After making a floral statement piece for her own wedding, Heather Day received so much positive feedback from her social media posts that she soon found herself launching a floral statement company: Floral Philosophy.

What sets Day’s floral statements apart from most other vendors is her use of reusable materials such as artificial and preserved flowers, making her floral statements more affordable.

Day, who moved to Carpinteria early last year, is a partial partner at the bridal boutique, The Dress, in Santa Barbara, owned by Jayna Staudt.

“As I was doing my own things, clients from the bridal boutique were asking for floral vendors – as they usually do – and I was recommending people for fresh florals but they also liked my work,” Day said. “I ended up booking two weddings through the bridal boutique and things started to grow organically.”

Heather Day has a unique offering Day quickly realized that by making for brides and party planners: her floral statements reusable, she could affordable, customizable and offer brides a better deal. Through Floral rentable floral statement pieces.

Philosophy, she sells or rents the base while offering options for customizing and personalizing each piece. In addition to brides, families have ordered Day’s statements for birthday parties, bridal showers, bachelor parties and more.

“The philosophy behind my business is to give our clients the opportunity to elevate their event to a whole other level at an affordable cost,” Day said.

At Kariella, Bessa said that she hopes to create a highly personalized shopping experience that caters to women who believe that fashion should be both fun and effortless. As a single mother of two, Bessa created a mission for her business that she connected with: to help women feel confident in their own skin.

With the opening of Kariella in Carpinteria, Bessa said it was something that she’d wanted to do for a long time. “We’ve had people asking us for years to open a shop near Carpinteria. Between there and Santa Barbara, there aren’t very many clothing stores – especially ones at a good price point,” she said.

“Plus, no one seems to sell much swimwear over there… The main thing we like to keep in stock at all times is swimwear. We have tons! From Frankies Bikinis to Bound by Bon Eye, to Vitamin A and more, we’ve got a great selection.”

Kariella at Padaro Beach location can be found at 3823 Santa Claus Lane. It is open every day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
