Deborah Dentler, center, holds her sign high: “I will not go quietly back to the 1950s.” Dentler, alongside dozens of Carpinterians chanting “My Body, My Rights,” met on the corner of Linden and Carpinteria avenues on Saturday to protest the leaked draft of a U.S. Supreme Court majority decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a 1973 court case that made abortion access a federal, constitutional right. The recent draft was obtained by news outlet Politico and leaked to the public on May 2, causing protests across the United States. Several Carpinteria signs made pointed references to similar marches in the ‘60s and ‘70s as Carpinterians loudly shouted against Roe v. Wade’s projected reversal after 50 years – “Now you’ve pissed off grandma,” one sign read. See more on pages 14 and 15.

Mental Wellness Center welcomes news hires

The Mental Wellness Center (MWC) in Santa Barbara has welcomed two new hires: Gabriela Dodson, director of MWC Wellness and Recovery Programs and Vicente Garcia Jr., assistant director of MWC Wellness and Recovery Programs.

CEO Annmarie Cameron said the organization is expanding its approach, after celebrating 75 years of treatment in the county.

“We’ve expanded the way we approach our work,” Cameron said. “We aim to catch people earlier rather than waiting for them to become mentally unwell. We understand the value of early intervention and prevention, the sooner you address it, the better the outcomes are.”

Dodson, Garcia Jr. and Assistant Director of the MWC Wellness and Recovery Programs Alexis Freeborn will create the center’s new Community Wellness Programs, providing all-day activities. Dodson is a licensed clinical social worker who has worked with the public defenders’ office; Garcia Jr. is a Santa Barbara local who has a history with youth justice programming and a master’s degree in counseling.

“We want to hear from individuals and families to learn what needs they have,” Dodson said. “Some people are searching for structured support groups and others may be looking for casual wellness activities. Many will be looking for support for a friend or a loved one.”

Carpinteria’s Glass House set to buy three SLO cannabis dispensaries

Carpinteria cannabis operation Glass House Brands is set to buy three San Luis Obispo County dispensaries whose owner pled guilty last year to bribery, Pacific Coast Business Times reported.

The dispensaries, Natural Healing Centers, are being sold for $22.6 million. The owner of Natural Healing Centers, Helios Dayspring, pled guilty to bribing a local supervisor for cannabis permits; he is currently in federal prison, pending sentencing for tax evasion and bribery, according to Pacific Coast Business Times.

Run by President Graham Farrar, Glass House Brands has become a wide-reaching cannabis operation in the county and surrounding areas, with seven storefront dispensaries.

Newsom’s office announces proposed modifications to cannabis tax structure

Several proposed changes to the state’s cannabis tax structure were introduced in 2-COLUMN WIDTH = 4.75 Governor Gavin Newsom’s 2022-2023 state budget proposal, released earlier this week.

Department of Cannabis Control Director Nicole Elliot said the changes were made based on feedback from cannabis operators and other commentors who said the current cannabis tax structures are “overly complex.”

“We know that current tax policies disproportionately burden cannabis farmers and small businesses and create instability throughout the supply chain, ultimately undermining the societal benefits of a taxed and regulated market,” Elliott said.

According to Elliot, those changes include changing the cultivation tax rate to zero beginning July 1; moving collection and remittance for the excise tax to retail operations on Jan. 1, 2023; and introducing funding for youth intervention and treatment – as CONDO ALTERNATIVE $249,000! wellAasGREAT local law enforcement programs – across three years,–with programs receiving $670 million annually, among other changes.

Governor Newsom’s budget also includes $20.5 million to expand retail cannabis store access across the state.

“If approved, the funds will aid localities with the development and implementation of local retail licensing programs and helping more of California’s existing consumers gain access to regulated and tested products through licensed and legal retailers,” Elliot said.

Fifth District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino motioned to bring the matter back to county staff, for a return to the board within six months. The motion passed 3-2, with Supervisors Bob Nelson and Das Williams dissenting, the latter of whom expressed a need for urgency with this issue. “(Let’s) work toward tightening up the ordinance as is, and let’s see where we get,” Lavagnino said.

New online resource offers local connections

Launched by Carpinterian Sabaitide, an emerging Asian American artist and writer, the website The Community Tide is a new community resource available online. The vision behind the online resource is to make information about local cities easier to access for those not on social media, according to Sabaitide.

The website, at thecommunitytide.com, offers resources and information about Carpinteria, Ventura and Santa Barbara in both English and Spanish.

“The Community Tide makes it easy to find valuable local resources for disaster relief, food, safety, and much more,” Sabaitide said. “One of the most notable pages currently online is a page dedicated to mental health, which includes helpful and informational resources for sexual assault, substance abuse, suicide prevention, and therapy, in addition to a list of crisis hotlines in case you or a loved one is in urgent SANDPIPER VILLAGE ● $459,000 need to talk to someone.”

New southbound lanes soon to open in Summerland On-ramp at Sheffield Drive set to open month earlier than estimated

Next month, construction crews will shift traffic from the current southbound route to the newly constructed southbound lanes in Summerland, while also moving the northbound route into the median.

This allows drivers to use the new roadways while crews focus on construction on the northbound lanes, according to representative Kirsten Ayars.

Construction continues in the Padaro, Summerland and Carpinteria segments of the Highway 101 construction project, with construction in Carpinteria focused on final roadway touches, striping and safety fencing in the area. The speed limit in construction zones remains at 55 mph.

Several ramp and lane closures remain in place on both the north and southbound sides of the Hwy 101. Two freeway lanes will remain open in each direction during daytime hours, and consecutive ramps going in the same direction will not be closed at the same time.

On the northbound side on Sunday nights, one lane between Bailard Avenue and Sheffield Drive, as well as the on- and off-ramps at Bailard Avenue, Casitas Pass Road, Linden Avenue, Santa Monica Road and North Padaro Lane, are closed between 9 p.m. – 7 a.m. Those same areas are closed Monday through Thursday nights, 8 p.m. – 7 a.m.

The northbound on-ramp at Sheffield Drive will reopen on June 17 – a month earlier than estimated – and the off-ramp at Sheffield Drive will reopen Oct. 3.

The northbound on-ramp at Ortega Hill Road will close on June 17 for eight months.

On the southbound side on Sunday nights, one lane between Sheffield Drive and Bailard Avenue, as well as the on- and off-ramps at Carpinteria Avenue, Reynolds Avenue, Linden Avenue, Casitas Pass Road and Bailard Avenue, will be closed 10 p.m. – 7 a.m.

Those same areas, as well as the on-

Crews work on the northbound off-ramp at Sheffield Drive. and off-ramps at North Padaro Lane, South Padaro Lane/Santa Claus Lane, will be closed Monday through Thursday nights, 8 p.m. – 7:30 a.m.

The southbound on-ramp at Sheffield Drive is set to reopen next month on June 12, the off-ramp at Evans Avenue will reopen Oct. 24, the on-ramp at North Padaro will reopen June 20, and the offramp at South Padaro Lane/Santa Claus Lane will reopen Oct. 19.

A 30-mph speed limit remains in place near North Jameson Lane by Sheffield Drive, due to sound wall construction.

Bikes continue to share the eastbound lane with vehicles.

Southbound lanes in the Padaro segment are reinforced by workers safely away from traffic.

Third round of free Covid-19 tests now available

The federal government opened up a third round of free Covid-19 tests on Monday, two months since the second round.

Residents who ordered tests in the first two rounds can now order more tests, and residents who have not yet ordered their free Covid-19 tests can now order from all three rounds, for a total of 16 tests.

According to a release from the Biden Administration, 70 million households in the United States so far have ordered the free Covid-19 tests. This round is funded by the American Rescue Plan.

“As the highly transmissible subvariants of Omicron drive a rise in cases in parts of the country, free and accessible tests will help slow the spread of the virus,” the administration said.

Visit Covidtests.gov to order the tests.

Covid-19 cases in Santa Barbara County continue to rise. As of May 12, the test positivity rate is at 4.8%, with a case rate of 18.81 per 100,000 people.

On Monday, the county reported 106 new Covid-19 cases, with one in the south county unincorporated area. The majority of the cases were reported in the city of Santa Barbara, at 29. Per the

VIEWPOINT

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.

Remember our older Americans during May

BY ROBERTA LEHTINAN, HOPENET PRESIDENT

Approximately 15 million Americans over 65 will experience mental health and or substance abuse. As we age, it’s important to focus on healthy aging, including behavioral wellness issues.

The pandemic added to ordinary mental health complexities. Here are some of the common problems and what our cherished seniors and the community can do to help.

The most frequent concerns are loneliness, isolation, depression, suicidal thoughts and anxiety. Political issues, global disasters, financial/health declines have added to fears of outliving savings and the loss of independence. Seniors may be stressed by losing a spouse or friends and sharing the difficulties of adult children, grandchildren or parents.

Chronic pain, orthopedic, cardiovascular, respiratory diseases, as well as decline in memory and ability to take care of finances, hygiene, running the house, shopping, proper nutrition and so on contribute to psychological distress.

The greatest number of suicides occur in men over 65, and especially those over 85, because of isolation, depression, chronic illness and having few social connections.

Another insidious malady is alcohol and medication abuse/interactions. Aging metabolism slows the elimination rate of the two drinks a person easily handled in his 30s; now, those two drinks lead to a higher blood alcohol level in his 70s.

Dizziness, falls, auto and other kinds of accidents, as well as worsening of other medical conditions, can result.

Seniors may also drink more to escape the challenges of aging. It may not be obvious to others in their lives, but they may feel shame or stigma and don’t talk about it. Practitioners and pharmacists should be aware of alcohol use and screen for all medications and supplements used by the elderly, since many medications used for depression, anxiety, blood pressure, etc. and pain killers as simple as Tylenol (acetaminophen) can be toxic to the liver and cause problems when used with alcohol.

There is hope for all this bad news! The pandemic is now less worrisome. Practice self-care. Go outside in nature, exercise as much as possible, join a gym, do puzzles, word games, call and visit friends. Attend your church and volunteer at local venues. HELP of Carpinteria can take you almost any place.

“The pups who remain will face the same risks as the little pup who never returned to them. Why?

A wayward seal pup

The little seal pup hid the best he could.

He nestled between one grey boulder and one moss-covered. An able-bodied seal would have chosen rocks that matched his mottled light grey fur. But he was lame. He could not swim to keep up with the seals who came beaconing to him.

He had escaped from the security of his sanctuary when a large, unleashed dog attacked, and that location no longer felt safe to him. Little did he know that he had strayed into territory that left him far more vulnerable.

Harbor seals stay in a very confined, sharply designated location when on land in Carpinteria. They require land to adjust their body temperature and redistribute their blood supply that had been conserved for only vital organs while at sea; they need land to sleep, and to bear and nurse their young, and to avoid aquatic predators. But on land, this species of pinniped is extremely handicapped at escaping its predators – man and dogs.

They have survived here for over one hundred years, aided by their unique trait of camouflage and in part by a beach closure to allow them a few months for rearing pups. That closure is ending soon.

The pups who remain will face the same risks as the little pup who never returned to them. Why? Because people and their dogs will not grant them a small 1,500-foot stretch of beach to call their own. Those people insist that the other 150 miles of beach from Ventura through Santa Barbara Counties are not enough to satisfy them – they must walk through one of the only Harbor Seal Rookeries that remain in Southern California. If you are a visitor, are you one of those people?

Or will you grant this peaceful, but wild, species the chance to exist?

Lozano has a “heart of gold”

Last week, Christy Lozano, teacher and challenger for Santa Barbara County Superintendent of Schools, got in a kerfuffle with the League of Women Voters about what she would not be allowed to say in the forum. Lozano wanted to refer to the incumbent’s record. She wanted a civil but honest conversation.

Christy is a parent and teacher with a heart of gold and a strong will that gets her into good trouble. She saw her educational world drifting from the values of love, discipline and high expectations.

These are her stated reasons for running: “I couldn’t sit back and watch this and do nothing.”

Educating our children is not a partisan job, and Christy doesn’t lean hard left or right, but she is courageous and bold.

When she sees something wrong, she speaks up.

Someone needs to shake up an administration that is okay with 60+ percent of countywide students not achieving the minimum standard for math and reading.

According to Ed Source, only 34% of the county students are proficient in math and 47.5% are proficient in English.

Our schools are failing at teaching kids the fundamentals. They need to be held accountable.

It’s time for a change.

Proud of our country

In truth, Diana Thorn was “done with the left and the Democratic Party” a long time ago (CVN, Vol. 28, No. 34). But I will never forget Jan. 6 and how former President Trump did everything in his power to destroy our democracy.

As a veteran, I am proud of our country, our president and our government, even if I disagree with policies enacted.

I hope that Diana Thorn can tone down her scornful messages. There’s already too much hate in our world.

Stricter permits for cannabis operations, county planning commission decides

BY EVELYN SPENCE

The Santa Barbara County Planning Commission moved forward with changes to cannabis operation permits in the unincorporated inland areas last week, unanimously supporting a shift from a land-use permit to a conditional use-permit for new and pending cannabis operations.

Per their direction, new and pending cannabis operations will be required to obtain the more restrictive conditional-use permit (CUP), rather than a land-use permits (LUP). Seven applicants with landuse permits are currently going through the appeal process; all other pending cannabis operations are already in the process of obtaining a CUP, staff said.

The amendment states that some operations – those adjacent to an existing rural neighborhood or an urban rural boundary, are within the Santa Ynez Valley Community Plan area or exceed 51% of the property on Ag-2 lots – provide an odor abatement plan. The board first requested information about potential changes from a land-use permit in September 2021.

Commissioner John Parke said last week that while he supports the changes, calling them “a pretty smart way to go,” cannabis operators believe the change is unfair.

“Anything that hasn’t received its final approval yet (from the commissions) is going to be subject to this change (…) I’ve hearing a lot from cannabis people that that’s unfair, that’s terrible, and they’ve got a point,” he said.

“They’ve done a lot of work going down one direction, and now the rules are going to change.”

Planner Corina Venegas explained the shift to a CUP requirement increases application submittal costs and allows for “greater discretion” on the commissioners’ part – shifting to a CUP requirement requires public hearings for each cannabis application.

For existing cannabis operations who went through a LUP process, a CUP would be required for “non-minor”

Last week, the County Planning Commission supported a shift to a condition-use permit from a land-use permit process for new and pending cannabis operations in the unincorporated inland areas of the county; shown above are cannabis operations across the county.

“I’m going to write a book about this process that literally zero people will read, and it’s called, ‘Are You Kidding Me?’”

–Land-use consultant Jay Higgens

changes, Venegas says. This includes new, adverse environmental affects or actions that “substantially deviate” from already approved operations.

Public commenters went back and forth on the proposed changes, such as land-use constant Jay Higgens, but others, such as commenter Hillary Long, pressed the planning commission for stronger cannabis limitations.

Higgens, who has worked with an

Ivan Van Wingerden cannabis grow in Carpinteria, said the shift to a CUP now is “patently unfair to do this to cannabis applicants.”

“My client on appeal has a land-use permit on appeal, but it’s only for 5% of the land,” Higgens said. “I’m going to write a book about this process that literally zero people will read, and it’s

called, ‘Are You Kidding Me?’” Long, who said she lives in the second district, said the amendment wasn’t strong enough.

“I am concerned the currently proposed amendments do not go far enough to preserve our quality of life in this county,” Long said. “Why should we be making it any easier for these applicants to stink up our town?”

The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to send the matter to the Board of Supervisors, with three potential changes for the board to consider. Those changes include: providing exemptions to the seven applications currently under appeal; removing indoor cultivation and nurseries in manufacturing zones from the CUP requirement; and requiring odor control plans for all cannabis cultivation operations.

South Coast Habitat Restoration completes project to help steelhead trout population

BY DEBRA HERRICK

Earlier this year, the Carpinteria-based nonprofit South Coast Habitat Restoration (SCHR) completed a decades-long endeavor to remove three barriers found in creeks in Los Padres National Forest, helping the steelhead trout population find safe passage and thrive. The recent project also improved the habitat for other fish and amphibians, like redlegged frogs, while increasing safety for recreationists.

CVN caught up with the organization’s founder and director, Mauricio Gomez, who has led the the nonprofit and its mission to improve the habitat of the steelhead trout, an endangered species.

Describe South Coast Habitat Restoration and its work. Why did you found SCHR and what is its focus?

Mauricio Gomez: South Coast Habitat Restoration is a non-profit organization, fiscally sponsored by Earth Island Institute. It was started in 2007 for the purpose of restoring habitat in the Santa Barbara and Ventura region.

Our work has focused on improving habitat for the federally endangered steelhead trout. This is accomplished by working with landowners, private and/ or government (i.e. State Parks, County, Forest Service) who are interested in collaborating with our organization to improve habitat.

Our work with private landowners has taken a variety of approaches including working directly with landowners or working through a community group (for example, Carpinteria Creek Watershed Coalition/Rincon Creek Watershed Council). These groups were ones that we worked with in the past to help garner community support of projects.

The CCWC effort led to the successful removal of all the major barriers in the Carpinteria watershed. Eight were removed by efforts led by SCHR and three were removed by other partners (Flood Control, city of Carpinteria).

The types of habitat restoration projects we have done include: • removing non-native invasive plants (they also take up lots of water from creek, displace native plants and decrease habitat value), • creek bank stabilization projects (these are often connected with the removal of non-native vegetation as they do not provide for stabilized banks and lead to erosion – our efforts include removal of the non-native plants, and re-grading the

A commendation ceremony and ribbon cutting was held earlier this month after the completion of South Coast Habitat Restoration’s work to remove three creek barriers in Los Padres National Forest to help protect the habitat of steelhead trout. From left are: SCHR Project Manager Jason White, Assemblymember Steve Bennet Field Representative Michelle Sevilla, local “Los Padres Steelhead Trout,” State Senator Monique Limon District Representative Geordie Scully, SCHR founder and director Mauricio Gomez and Congressman Salud Carbajal Senior District Representative Wendy Mota. The project, managed by SCHR, was completed in partnership with Earth Island Institute, Los Padres National Forest and the US Forest Service. creek bank to a more stable slope and then revegetating with native species (willows, oaks, sycamore, blackberry, etc.), • and finally, most of our work focuses on removing barriers to steelhead trout migration. Barriers are made up of different physical blockages in the creek (concrete creek crossings, small dams and grade control structures). Most often, when we remove creek crossings, we then build a bridge for the landowner/ users to get across the creek safely. The bridges are designed to current engineering standards and are approved by the respective agency (i.e. county or federal government).

To do the above, we write grants (sources include state, federal or private foundations) for the work. This is typically done in phases, engineering phase, permitting phase, construction phase and monitoring phase. As we secure funds, we then proceed with the various phases of the work to get towards implementation. We hire contractors to assist us with the engineering, permitting, heavy equipment/construction which improves

the economy.

Describe your role at the organization.

I am the founder and director of SCHR. We are a small organization with two full time staff (director and project manager – Jason White) and one part time staff (grant administrator – Rachel Strominger). We are based in Carpinteria and have been here for the past 15 years!

Describe the latest project completed in Los Padres National Forest to help the trout population?

The issue was with barriers (one on Munch creek and two on Davy Brown creek). The solution was to remove the barriers and allow for steelhead trout to gain access to their historic habitat.

Steelhead trout are a federally listed endangered species (NOAA 1997).

One barrier (Munch) was removed and the creek bed restored to a natural state.

The other two barriers were removed and replaced with clear span bridges to allow for the public to access the Forest (NIRA campground), allow the forest service

safer access for their work and for the inholdings that are back in that area of the Forest.

The project opened up 3.1 miles of habitat by removing all three barriers to migration.

We worked with a few engineers (civil – Waterways consulting, structural – Streeter Group, geotechnical – Earth Systems).

We worked with Peter Lapidus Construction on the project, a Carpinteria based contractor that we have worked with on many fish passage/bridge projects. California Conservation Corps were also involved with the project.

We worked with the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians for the cultural monitoring for the project. They were an incredible partner on the project, and we learned an incredible amount of information from them on how to protect cultural resources.

The project was funded by a variety of grant sources awarded to our orga-

BEFORE AFTER South Coast Habitat Restoration has completed its multi-year project to remove three passage barriers in creeks in Los Padres National Forest. At “Arizona creek crossing,” SCHR removed three barriers and installed two vehicular bridges along Sunset Valley Road, the road that leads to Davy Brown and NIRA campgrounds and Manzana Trail.

have them there to celebrate the completion of the project. We now hope that next winter will be a wet winter which will provide steelhead trout the opportunity to gain access to the creek that had been blocked for over 40 years.

We learned a tremendous amount working on this project and really value the collaboration with the US Forest Service staff from the Los Padres National Forest. Biologists, engineers, archaeology/cultural monitors, resource offices, etc. – so many people contributed to the project and without each of their contributions, the project would not have been able to have happened.

Southern California steelhead trout nization including: National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, State Coastal Conservancy, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, County of Santa Barbara Coastal Resources Enhancement Fund, California Fish Passage Forum, Prop 68 via the California Conservation Corps, Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians and the United States Forest Service.

How does it feel to finish this project?

It feels great! So many partners have worked on this project over many decades that I am very happy to share this accomplishment with them. We held a ribbon cutting recently with project partners (Forest Service, engineers, funders, retired FS staff, etc.) and it was great to

What’s on the horizon for SCHR future projects?

We continue our efforts to work with private and government landowners in the region. We are working towards the removal of four steelhead trout barriers to migration in the Ventura River watershed at the Wheeler Gorge campground. We plan for the project to go to construction in 2023.

The project will restore access to roughly 13 miles of habitat to steelhead trout.

We are also working in the Carpinteria Creek watershed to improve habitat conditions, as some of our past fish passage restoration projects that were impacted by the post Thomas Fire/flooding. This work will implement bank stabilization projects and reduce sediment inputs to the creek that impact aquatic species.

Anything you’d like to add?

The Sportfishing Conservancy held a fishing tournament on April 30 which raised funds for SCHR. This event is a great opportunity for our local fishing community to support local efforts towards habitat restoration. We greatly appreciate the support of the Sportfishing Conservancy and all those that participated in the event!

This report covers May 9 – May 15, 2022.

High Count

Natural History Notes

Most pups are now difficult to distinguish.

Pinnipeds, commonly known as seals, are carnivorous, fin-footed, semi aquatic and mostly marine mammals. There are about 34 species worldwide, composed of three families: the Odobenidae (one walrus species), the Otariidae (sea lions and fur seals – the eared seals) and the Phocidae (the earless or “true” seals). All are believed to have a common ancestor, and they are most closely related to musteloids such as raccoons, weasels and skunks.

Visitors

Easing of pandemic restrictions has brought more people from distant areas; on Sunday, people from Israel, Canada and France introduced themselves.

Kayakers near shore and people trespassing at the foot of the pier frightened many seals into the ocean. Once safely in the water, seals will often approach kayakers, but on land they are defenseless.

Disturbances More Info

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

BY ROBERT MCDONALD, GENERAL MANAGER CARPINTERIA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT To protect and regulate groundwater supplies across the state and avoid long-term economic impacts, California passed the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) in 2014. This enacted a framework to help avoid overdraft and manage these shared resources at the local level.

SGMA requires any groundwater basin classified as high- and medium-priority by the state Department of Water Resources (DWR) to create a Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) and develop a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) to avoid undesirable results. GSAs must reach sustainability within 20 years of adopting their GSPs. The Carpinteria Valley Water District (CVWD) has been monitoring water quality and water levels in the Carpinteria Groundwater Basin (CGB) since 1999, with records dating back to the 1940s for older wells that were previously monitored by the US Geological Society (USGS). Based on decades of observations, known extraction by CVWD, estimated extraction from private well pumpers, various groundwater models, and the number of stakeholders dependent on our valuable groundwater resources, the CGB was re-evaluated and designated as a “high priority” by DWR in 2019.

As a result, the Carpinteria Groundwater Sustainability Agency (CGSA) was formed in 2020 through a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between CVWD, the city of Carpinteria, Santa Barbara County Water Agency and the county of Ventura to implement and develop a GSP, which will serve as a road map for ensuring the basin will be operated sustainably.

The CGSA is distinct from its member authorities and has a separate structure for its Board of Directors, with the potential for an eight-member board. The CGSA will ensure long-term sustainable groundwater use through planning, regulation and oversight and develop the GSP for submission to DWR by the end of 2023.

Additional roles of the CGSA may include developing new projects to study and understand the groundwater basin’s hydrologic characteristics, registering and metering groundwater wells, implementing rules and regulations, and assessing fees to cover the costs associated with ensuring the goals and metrics outlined in the GSP are met and sustained. Fortunately, CVWD was granted $1.9 million from the state on behalf of the CGSA to develop the GSP, and for drilling new monitoring wells to

“With the continued absence of rain, we are asking our customers to recognize the situation, be mindful of your water consumption and make conservation a way of life.” better understand groundwater levels and water quality.

However, for non-GSP activities the agency currently is operating on loans and cannot continue without establishing a revenue source to support ongoing GSA operations and administration. A rate study to help develop a fair and equitable cost recovery fee for properties that sit atop the basin is in development. The fee proposal will be discussed at upcoming public meetings. The public is invited, and encouraged, to learn more about the CGSA and the proposed fee and to attend these meetings: Thursday, May 26, 5:30 p.m.: on Zoom/ Phone. Zoom and phone information is posted at carpgsa.org.

Tuesday, June 14, 5:30 p.m.: in person at Lion’s Park located at 6197 Casitas Pass Road. (For language and other accommodations, please contact the district by 3 p.m. Monday, June 13.)

Ensuring long-term groundwater sustainability is important to everyone, from homeowners to business owners, to those in agriculture and beyond. Groundwater is a vital component of our local water supply portfolio, especially as naturally occurring water supplies across California are drying up due to drought and climate fluctuations. In addition, without proper management, our groundwater basin could be susceptible to seawater intrusion, which many other coastal basins throughout California have experienced.

Prudent groundwater management will contribute to a reliable and sustainable source of water for future generations. Everyone has a stake in local groundwater resources regardless of whether you have a well or not, so we hope that community members will consider participating and provide input to the CGSA staff and Board of Directors.

We hope that you will be a part of this conversation about preserving our groundwater resources at one or both community meetings on May 26 and June 14. With the continued absence of rain, we are asking our customers to recognize the situation, be mindful of your water consumption and make conservation a way of life. Use our water wisely and find ways to further reduce your water footprint.

Dozens of Brown Pelicans rescued, illness unknown

Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network (SBWCN) reported on Monday having experienced an unusually high influx of brown pelican patients over the weekend.

In just two days, more than 30 brown pelicans were rescued and brought to SBWCN to receive care. Most of these birds arrived severely emaciated, weak and unable to fly. The exact cause of their condition is unknown at this time.

Pelicans have been rescued from all over Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.

Most of them are beached, unable to fly or move, or are found in an unusual location. SBWCN’s team of rescuers and volunteers has been retrieving and transporting these patients to their rehabilitation facility in Goleta. Seven pelicans were rescued on Saturday, and 25 pelicans were rescued on Sunday.

All new patients received a full intake exam upon arriving at SBWCN. Most pelicans were found to be emaciated, some are hypothermic, and a few have additional injuries. The SBWCN team is treating these birds by providing fluids, medication, warmth and supportive care.

The team is working with other nearby wildlife centers to transport some of these birds and assist in their rehabilitation.

SBWCN’s brand new Wildlife Hospital is providing critical space and resources to assist in this emergency. The hospital opened in February 2022 and features 5,400 square feet of state-of-the-art facilities. The Seabird Bay, where seabirds in critical condition are held, usually only houses a handful of patients. The bay has been converted into a large pen to accommodate new pelicans in care. The rescued brown pelicans are among many orphaned baby birds and mammals in need of care during the middle of spring baby season, where SBWCN receives hundreds of new patients. Currently, there are more than 250 patients in care.

“I’m so proud of our staff, volunteers, and the entire community for jumping into action to help these pelicans,” said Ariana Katovich, executive director of SBWCN. “While we’re still unsure what’s

causing this emergency situation, we are continuing to take in these birds and help them in any way we can,” Katovich added.

Brown pelicans are large seabirds that range anywhere from 8–10 pounds with a wingspan between 6.5–7.5 feet. They are common residents of the southern coasts of the United States, with ranges extending down to South America. They are known for plunge-diving into the ocean to catch their food – one of only two pelican species to do so.

These social birds can be found congregating in large flocks almost year-round.

Populations reached dangerously low numbers in the 1960s due to pollution from the pesticide DDT, and the species was listed as endangered by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1972. Thanks to DDT regulations and conservation recovery efforts, the brown pelican has since been removed from the endangered species list.

BWCN noted that if someone finds a pelican they believe needs help, they should call the SBWCN Helpline and provide the details and exact location of the bird: (805) 681-1080. “If the bird is deceased, do not touch or handle it.

Please report it to the SBWCN Helpline.”

SBWCN is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day. To make a donation, visit sbwcn.org/donate.

Two and a half dozen brown pelicans fell ill with an unknown condition last weekend and were rescued by the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network.

A pelican is found dead floating in Carpinteria Creek.

Watershade Brigade to tackle lobster traps in removal event

On Saturday, May 21, from 8 a.m. to noon, the public is invited to help Channelkeeper’s Watershed Brigade remove derelict lobster traps from Black Rock Beach below More Mesa in Santa Barbara.

More than 80 lobster traps have drifted ashore from a fishing area off More Mesa, and the Channelkeeper’s Watershed Brigade plans to remove these traps from the beach. Volunteers will use hand-tools to dig out buried traps, remove rocks and debris, and ​stage traps for removal offshore to a commercial fishing boat.

Commercial fisherman Chris Voss from Fishermen of Santa Barbara and his team will provide vessel support to load traps and transport them to the Santa Barbara Harbor for proper recovery and disposal.

Derelict lobster traps can entangle marine wildlife, release microplastics, create safety hazards for vessels and beachgoers and wash up on beaches as pollution. The U.S. Department of Fish & Wildlife calls marine debris “one of the most pervasive threats to the health of the world’s coastal areas, oceans and waterways.”

In 2017, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) implemented a lobster trap tag system to track lost gear and aid in its recovery. According to CDFW, during the 2019-2020 season, a total of 6,503 lobster traps were reported

Volunteers with Channelkeeper’s Watershed Brigade will remove derelict lobster traps from Black Rock Beach in Santa Barbara this Saturday. as lost off California’s coast – a statistic considered low because it reflects only the losses that were reported. The Santa Barbara Channel was identified as a hotspot for lost traps due to the high level of catch and fishing in the area.

“It’s amazing what a motivated group of community members can accomplish when we work together as a team,” Chan-

nelkeeper Science and Policy Director Benjamin Pitterle said.

“We’re excited for this chance to keep one of our local beaches pristine again and free of fishing gear. We hope that many more volunteers decide to join us.”

Volunteers will gather at the east end of the Goleta Beach parking lot (close to the slough) at 8 a.m. Volunteers will

walk together about 1.5 miles east down the beach to remove traps. Participants are asked to bring a hat, sunscreen, appropriate clothing for wading in the surf zone and shoes that can get wet, along with water, gloves and a towel to dry off.

All volunteers will be required to sign liability waivers. To sign up, visit: bit. ly/3Pl3VVV.

Graduation: From school and from mindsets CVN

THE SEAWITCH SAYS AMY OROZCO Soon, it will be that time of year for brides, dads and grads. Bet some birthdays are around the corner, too. (As of this writing, I have six to celebrate in June.)

It’s inevitable that the spotlight shining on the honoree(s) will mirror back on you, causing reflection and introspection.

Dear Amy O, My stepson will graduate high school next month and leave for his first-choice college at the end of August. He’s a good kid and I couldn’t be happier for him. In addition to the typical graduation gifts his father and I plan to give him, what I’d really like him to have been license to pursue whatever is his passion. How do I “gift” this to him? I wish I had pursued my desire to be a writer. My career in public service has been successful, and I enjoy my colleagues. Still, I always have a nagging “what if?” feeling. I don’t want him to have any regrets, like I sometimes do.

Signed, Stuck, Not Jealous Dear Stuck, Not Jealous, Congratulations to your stepson! I wish him the brightest future possible.

Congratulations to you, too, for being such a nice person. The first thing to do is to continue making your gift about your

stepson, not about you. I’m assuming your stepson’s passion is his own, whether that be writing or otherwise.

You asked how to “gift” the ability to pursue one’s passion. I, in turn, will answer your question with a question: How do you define the ability to pursue one’s passion? I suggest your husband be involved in this discussion. Does this include providing the economic means, like a patron? Certainly, instilling confidence is as much of a must is full emotional support. What else would you add?

Now, how to “gift” it. One part could be a heart-to-heart talk – maybe just the three of you out for a special dinner separate from any celebratory gathering. Another part could be you writing a custom commencement speech for your stepson, outlining your gift and your promise to help him pursue his passion.

As most writers (aspiring and otherwise) and people who paid attention in high school literature classes know, a hallmark of the writing craft is “show, don’t tell.” You can show your stepson what pursuing one’s passion looks like.

Maybe it’s getting up 30 minutes earlier every morning to journal or signing up for a short story class at the library. A Saturday afternoon digging through the garage for an old college paper to reconsider says a lot about fortitude. Modeling behavior is far more effective than telling someone how to behave.

Think of it as a two-fer. Your stepson learns how to pursue his passion by watching you pursue yours.

Dear Amy O, I’m one of those people who are so relieved that social media wasn’t around when we were young. I was such a jerk.

I’ve done so many things I’m not proud of. Social media didn’t document them, but my memory did. How do I erase these tapes? It’s the worst in the middle of night when I can’t sleep.

Signed, Make These Tapes Self-destruct

Dear Make These Tapes Self-destruct, I’m one of those too. Oh, that time I woke up (insert mortifying scene here), and then there’s when I… Hey, we all have them. The bright side is, yes, social media was just a sparkle in some brainiacs’ minds, and well, they sure showed us, huh?

From your letter, though, I’m intuiting your tapes are more about deep regret and remorse than, say, embarrassing party behavior. You know who made you do those now highly regrettable acts? The person you were at the time, that’s who.

Maybe that was a lonely and angry individual trying to make the hurt go away by, for example, cheating friends.

The you today sees that cheating friends didn’t make the loneliness and anger evaporate, and that recognition, my friend, is part of the path to healing.

You will have to first forgive yourself.

Here’s why: because, maybe just maybe, you have replaced the cheating friends with the self-hate brought to life with those mental tapes, which now have the job of making the loneliness and anger go away – an impossible task (and you don’t need to be a brainiac to figure that out).

How do we self-forgive? With honesty and determination. Be honest with yourself about your actions and personhood.

You must commit yourself to a self-forgiveness journey, knowing full well the itinerary includes stormy seas, mine-

fields, delays, probably diarrhea, other assorted bumps in the road and that the trip will be worth it. Maybe your travel agent is a mental health professional, the self-help aisle in a bookstore, or a spiritual leader. Doesn’t matter. The sooner you book passage, the sooner those mental tapes become lost luggage, uh, baggage.

Bon voyage!

“My Body, My Rights” Carpinterians protest overturning federal abortion rights PHOTOS BY INGRID BOSTROM

Coastal View News •

Carpinteria, California

On Saturday, May 14, locals met at the corner of Linden and Carpinteria avenues to voice their strong opposition to the leaked draft of a U.S. Supreme Court majority decision to overturn the landmark ruling, Roe v.

Wade. The 1973 court decision established the federal constitutional right for pregnant women to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction.

The recent ruling, written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, was obtained by news outlet Politico and leaked on May 2, leading to protests across the United States.

“Bring your signs and/or your attitude,” an event organizer said in a message inviting people to attend. “My body, my choice. Use your voice to keep everyone’s voice.”

BY DEBRA HERRICK The striking portraits of lions in The Food Liaison (TFL) on Casitas Pass Road mimic the fierce yet gentle character of the café’s auteur, owner and Executive Chef Nirasha Rodriguez. Rodriguez’s keen understanding of food, flavor and style have made TFL one of Carpinteria’s go-to lunch locales and catering companies. However, it is Rodriguez and her partner Jason’s integrated mission to give back to the community through food that reveals the chef’s authentic heart.

Since opening the brick-and-mortar café, kitchen and cooking class forum in 2006, Rodriguez has supported dozens of Carpinteria organizations and community initiatives, including Girls Inc. of Carpinteria, United Boys & Girls Clubs, Carpinteria Skate Park, Franklin Trail Foundation, Alcazar Theatre, Carpinteria Arts Center, local schools, homeless residents and first responders.

“Giving back is one thing that motivates us to do what we do,” Rodriguez said. “Running a successful restaurant and catering company is extremely hard work. Sometimes I ask myself, what was I thinking?

But by supporting nonprofits, artists and our community, our blood, sweat and many tears mean something more.”

In June, TFL will partner for the first time with community arts organization, Lum Art Magazine (fiscally sponsored by the Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative), in hosting a Chef’s Table benefit for Central Coast artists and writers – a gourmet five-course meal created and executed by Rodriguez and her skilled team. The benefit will support Lum’s mission to provide catalyst awards to emerging artists, a biannual print magazine and free community events that foster critical conversations, advocacy and discovery around art.

On June 10, The Food Liaison will host a Chef’s Table benefit for Central Coast artists and writers, honoring Vanessa WallaceGonzales, Lum Art Magazine art prize winner.

“When people are changed or moved by your art, you can’t turn your back on that power.”

–Executive Chef Nirasha Rodriguez

HERRICK

The Food Liaison Executive Chef Nirasha Rodriguez has built a successful multipronged business around caring for community members through food.

Behind Rodriguez’s bold palates and plates is a degree in fine art from the Brooks Institute. Rodriguez had planned to pursue a career in fine art photography before discovering her true passion in food.

Today, after decades of hard work and determination, in addition to being TFL’s “commander-in-chief,” Rodriguez is one of Santa Barbara, Montecito and Carpinteria’s most sought-after private and celebrity chefs. Bringing her fine art background to her curated plates, Rodriguez artfully composes meals with farm fresh ingredients, surprising textural elements and balanced flavor profiles.

Rodriguez is known for getting people to eat their veggies. “I sneak them into everything,” she said, noting elements of her food philosophy: “We try to source from our local farms as much as possible. We also make everything from scratch. What we put into our bodies really sets the stage for how we feel. Tasty, healthy, seasonal food says that you care about your body and the environment. I try to keep that in mind, always.”

ARTCETRA New artist now on display at Island Brewing Company

Artist Ryan Andrew Dutton is the latest featured artist at the Island Brewing Company, with his exhibit scheduled to run from May 17 through June 26. Dutton will hold an opening reception on May 29, from noon to 2 p.m.

Dutton, who has lived in Carpinteria with his wife Veronica and their dog Rocky for 15 years, focuses his art on Carpinteria nature and the connectivity throughout the community.

Dutton also works at Santa “Off the rails,” by Ryan Andrew Dutton, is now Barbara Cottage Hospital as on display at the Island Brewing Company.

For the upcoming Lum Art benefit, Rodriguez has planned an exclusive menu that celebrates springtime with an Asian-Southern flare. The bold mix of culinary influences is a signature of Rodriguez’s food. Rodriguez, who grew up in the South before moving to California, relishes pushing the boundaries when creating menus, adopting a “no limitations” state of mind.

“This benefit is a perfect opportunity to create new dishes and surprises on the palate,” she said.

In addition to celebrating Rodriguez’s cooking chops, the Chef’s Table benefit also honors Lum Art Prize Winner Vanessa Wallace-Gonzales, featured on the cover of the latest issue of Lum Art Magazine.

Wallace-Gonzales is a Black-Latinx California native artist who uses elements of mythology to explore her identity and personal experiences. The Lum Art Prize is awarded biannually to regional artists from BIPOC communities or other historically underrepresented groups, including people with disabilities.

“The food is going to be bold and vibrant just like the artist we are honoring,” Rodriguez said. “Just like art, food can spark conversation, provoke creativity and nourish the soul. Vanessa’s work is so unique and raw.

I am gravitated toward her strong feminine identity in her work. Like me, we forage and source locally for the tools that inspire our art. I never wanted to be a chef, but like Vanessa, it was my calling. When people are changed or moved by your art, you can’t turn your back on that power.”

“There just isn’t enough inspiring ART in the world today, especially on the Central Coast. Lum Art Magazine showcases true talented independent artists that some of us might not have ever discovered. It is a really special publication that I am honored to support,” Rodriguez added.

Chef’s Table for the Arts will be held on June 10 at 5 p.m. at The Food Liaison. Seating is limited to 25 guests. Proceeds benefit Lum Art Prize artists and help underwrite Lum’s free community arts programming and biannual print magazine. All ticket sales can be made tax deductible.

For more information and to purchase tickets, visit lumartzine.com/chefstable or email editor@ lumartzine.com.

“Ryan’s style can’t quite be defined but appreciated for his natural gift to combine many different ideas of art forms. From his admiration for graffiti, landscape, abstract design, sketching, and surrealism, just to name some, all have been inspirations to capture Mother Nature,” Island Brewing Company General Manager Laurie Matthews said.

“Ryan’s love for Mother Earth can be felt and seen in his vivid, emotional, and beautiful pieces that will continue to serve as an offering of gratitude for all to enjoy,” Matthews added.

Island Brewing Company is located at 5049 Sixth St.

New radio station pops up in the valley

Carpinteria Valley has welcomed a new addition to its media network: the Carpinteria Valley Radio, which streams online through its website.

Run by founder Dennis Mitchell, the radio covers local news, traffic updates and a wide variety of programming topics, including surfing, cannabis, cooking, gardening and more. Mitchell is a longtime broadcaster, known for his radio show Breakfast with the Beatles.

“Carpinteria is evolving into an exciting new phase in its history, and it occurred to me that the people who live there could use more information,” said Dennis Mitchell.

Mitchell explained the ultimate goal is to switch to streaming through AM or FM, but for now, the station streams through carpinteriavalleyradio.com.

Public Notices NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PENDING ACTION BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO: (1) WAIVE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON A COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT THAT MAY BE APPEALED TO THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION AND (2) APPROVE, CONDITIONALLY APPROVE, OR DENY THE COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT This may affect your property.

Please read.

Notice is hereby given that an application for the project described below has been submitted to the Santa Barbara County Planning and Development Department.

This project requires the approval and issuance of a Coastal Development Permit by the Planning and Development Department.

The development requested by this appli‑ cation is subject to appeal to the California Coastal Commission following final action

by Santa Barbara County and therefore a public hearing on the application is normally required prior to any action to approve, conditionally approve or deny the application. However, in compliance with California Coastal Act Section 30624.9, the Director has determined that this project qualifies as minor development and therefore intends to waive the public hearing requirement unless a written request for such hearing is submitted by an interested party to the Planning and Development Department within the 15 working days following the Date of Notice listed below. All requests for a hearing must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, to Alejandro Jimenez at Plan‑ ning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 93101‑2058, by email at ajimenez@countyofsb.org, or by fax at (805) 568‑2030. If a public hearing is requested, notice of such a hearing will be provided.

WARNING: Failure by a person to request a public hearing may result in the loss of the person’s ability to appeal any action taken by Santa Barbara County on this Coastal Development Permit to the County Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors and ultimately the California Coastal Commission.

If a request for public hearing is not received by 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, then the Planning and Development Department will act to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request for a Coastal Development Permit. At this time it is not known when this action may occur; however, this may be the only notice you receive for this project. To receive additional information regarding this project, including the date the Coastal Development Permit is approved, and/or to view the application and plans, or to provide comments on the project, please contact Alejandro Jimenez at Planning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 93101‑2058, or by email at ajimenez@countyofsb.org, or by phone at (805) 568‑3559. _________________________________ PROPOSAL: STATLER WORKSHOP PROJECT ADDRESS: 1795 OCEAN OAKS RD, CARPINTERIA, CA 93013 1st SUPERVISORIAL DISTRICT THIS PROJECT IS LOCATED IN THE COASTAL ZONE _________________________________ DATE OF NOTICE: 5/19/2022 REQUEST FOR HEARING EXPIRATION DATE: 6/9/2022 PERMIT NUMBER: 22CDH‑00000‑00006 APPLICATION FILED: 2/17/2022 ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NO.: 005‑320‑035 ZONING: 1‑E‑1 PROJECT AREA: 1.59 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Applicant: Statler, Gordon Proposed Project: Project calls for a new 243sf workshop attached to the existing 440sf garage. No grading is being proposed as part of this project. The parcel is served by the Carpin‑ teria Valley Water District, a Private Septic System, and the Carpinteria‑Summerland Fire Protection District. Access is provided off of Ocean Oaks Road. The property is a 1.59‑acre parcel zoned 1‑E‑1 and shown as Assessor’s Parcel Number 005‑320‑035, located at 1795 Ocean Oaks Road, in the Toro Canyon Community Plan Area, First Supervisorial District.

APPEALS: The decision of the Director of the Planning and Development Department to approve, conditionally approve, or deny this Coastal Development Permit 22CDH‑00000‑00006 may be appealed to the County Planning Commission by the applicant or an ag‑ grieved person. The written appeal must be filed within the 10 calendar days follow‑ ing the date that the Director takes action on this Coastal Development Permit. To qualify as an “aggrieved person” the ap‑ pellant must have, in person or through a representative, informed the Planning and Development Department by appropriate means prior to the decision on the Coastal Development Permit of the nature of their concerns, or, for good cause, was unable to do so.

Written appeals must be filed with the Planning and Development Department

at either 123 East Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara, 93101, or 624 West Foster Road, Suite C, Santa Maria, 93455, by 5:00 p.m. within the timeframe identified above. In the event that the last day for filing an appeal falls on a non‑business day of the County, the appeal may be timely filed on the next business day.

This Coastal Development Permit may be appealed to the California Coastal Commission after an appellant has exhausted all local appeals, therefore a fee is not required to file an appeal.

For additional information regarding the appeal process, contact Alejandro Jimenez. The application required to file an appeal may be viewed at or down‑ loaded from: https://content.civicplus.com/api/assets/ a332eebc‑b6b5‑4a1e‑9dde‑4b99ae964a f9?cache=1800 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Information about this project review process may also be viewed at: https://ca‑santabarbaracounty.civ‑ icplus.pro/1499/Planning‑Permit‑Pro‑ cess‑Flow‑Chart Board of Architectural Review agendas may be viewed online at: https://ca‑santabarbaracounty.civicplus. pro/1707/Boards‑of‑Architectural‑Review Publish: May 19, 2022 _________________________________

Mariachi in Ensenada

Mark Boyd and Cathy Oswalt caught up in Ensenada, a city in Baja California, Mexico, with a copy of CVN. The pair visited the city’s famed cantina, established in 1892, Hussong’s, where it’s said the margarita was first created.

“Who can resist Hussong’s with Oscar, the mariachi guy?” Oswalt shared.

Sunny Hills too much for Warriors in CIF Championship

BY RYAN P. CRUZ

After a magical season, the Carpinteria Warriors fell just short of a CIF Division 5 boys volleyball championship, but the team can feel proud of a historic season – reaching further in the playoffs than any others before them. No Carpinteria team had ever made it to the finals in the CIF Southern Section in its history of competing in boys volleyball.

“Our Warriors volleyball team accomplished that feat this year, and even though we lost in the finals, the sting of defeat will wear off,” said Coach Mickey Caughey. “And I think everyone will be proud of how far we came and how good this team really was.”

All season long, the Warriors tested their mettle against higher division schools, with a tough non-league schedule that prepared them for a competitive postseason. Carpinteria, with only 600 students, was beating schools with three or four times the student population, including three wins against Division 3 and 4 opponents. “Our tough schedule also helped us win the first four rounds of the playoffs, taking us all the way into the finals,” Caughey said.

Carpinteria’s play was good enough for them to hold the top spot in Division 5 near the end of the season, and the Warriors had an amazing 12 games won in 3-0 set sweeps.

For the finals, Carpinteria hit the road to Long Beach City College for a Saturday night showdown with Sunny Hills, who had roared through the playoffs with their own streak of 3-0 sweeps through the first four rounds of the playoffs.

The Warriors started out strong, taking an early lead in the first set and hanging in through a number of long back-and-forth rallies as the teams battled it out for the lead.

“The ball would just not hit the floor on either side of the net,” Caughey said.

“Unfortunately for us, Sunny Hills won almost all of those long rallies and it took its toll on us,” he said. Each long rally that went the Lancers’ way took the air out of the War-

riors and the first set slowly slipped away.

“We started making unforced errors and our serves didn’t have much on them and were easy to pass. And to make matters worse, we started missing our serves,” Caughey said. “Sunny Hills was playing better and better and putting a lot of pressure on us.”

Carpinteria’s big men Joaquin Gonzalez and Zach Isaac kept the Warriors in the game with some important kills, but Sunny Hills’ staunch defense kept the ball alive each time it looked like Carpinteria was poised for a comeback. Heading into the third set, the Warriors dug in to attempt an unlikely comeback.

“During a time out, I told Gavin (Lohuis), our setter, to start setting our heavy hitters,” Cuaghey said. The Warriors fell behind 1824, but with their backs to the wall the boys fought back to 22-24, forcing Sunny Hills to call a final timeout.

After the timeout, the Lancers were able to tip the ball over the Warriors blockers for a championship match-winning point.

“What a ride this season has been,” Caughey said. “We finished the season 15-4, we made it all the way to the CIF Finals, and we got to play in three great tournaments.”

Following the game, Caughey announced that this would be his last year after 40 years of coaching.

“I decided at the beginning of the season that this would be my last year of coaching,” he said. “It’s been quite a run for me and I want to thank all of the players, both boys and girls, that I’ve coached over the years and the schools and administrators that hired me and all the other coaches I’ve had the opportunity to compete against throughout these years. Thank all of you!”

Carpinteria will have one more shot at the postseason with a Division 3 Southern Regional match against Madison High in San Diego this week.

Carpinteria Student Athlete Signing Day 2022

Four of Carpinteria’s senior student athletes signed National Letters of Intent during a Signing Day celebration last Friday, and will continue their athletic careers after graduation.

Tennis player Austin Stone will be playing next year for George Fox University in Newburg, Oregon. Stone led the Warriors to the postseason and dominated in singles play with consistent 3-0 sweeps all year long.

Multi-sport athlete Madison Mora will continue her softball career at Mid-America Christian University in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In a thrilling season finale, Mora pitched 13 innings on Senior Day to cap off her high school career with one last win.

Track star Mateo Handall took a break from setting new records in the 400-meter dash to announce he will be running next year at Cal Lutheran; and water polo Zach Isaac –who had the rare chance to play in both the CIF-SS water polo and boys volleyball championships – will join his classmate at Cal Lutheran.

The Carpinteria Valley Little League Padres has earned a spot in this week’s championship game.

Little League Padres playing big-time baseball

Carpinteria Valley Little League’s Junior Padres have been on a roll this season, tearing through the season for a 13-1 record and a trip to the District 63 North Championship Thursday.

The Padres have not lost a game since week three, and have since been on an 11game hot streak. The top-seeded Padres earned a bye in the playoffs before defeating the Dos Pueblos Little League Giants (12-1) and Angels (12-2) to earn a spot in the championship game.

Much of the team has played together as a unit since tee-ball, and several of the players have teamed up as All-Stars since 2019. After splitting up to play for club

teams, they decided to join forces one more time before going to different high schools.

The team is known for scoring lots of runs, but also for leaving a lasting impression on umpires and opponents with their good attitudes and displays of sportsmanship throughout the year.

The Padres will face the Dos Pueblos Giants one more time for the District 63 North Championship at 5 p.m. on Thursday at Canalino School.

Sign Up for Carpinteria Co-ed Softball!

Batter up! Another season of Carpinteria Co-ed Softball is fast approaching. The season opener is on May 31, and play will take place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Viola Fields throughout late spring and early summer.

The season will end with the teams playing in a single-elimination tournament.

League fees are $350 per team with a $15 umpire fee per game. Registration and a signed team waiver are due to the City of Carpinteria by May 23. To learn more, contact Reynaldo Cardenas at reynaldo_cardenas@yahoo.com.
