Memorial Day Observance Monday May 30 -- 10 AM

We will honor our Veterans this year with our traditional Ceremony at the Carpinteria Cemetery. Chairs will be provided; you are welcome to bring your own.

Once again, Carpinteria is making a splash in dreamy, beachy destinations! The online magazine, Trips to Discover, has named Carpinteria one of 20 best beach towns in America. Each year, the publication seeks out idyllic stretches of sand, charming seaside towns and laid-back getaways to spotlight. “Santa Barbara’s southernmost town oﬀers quintessential Southern California beaches, a relaxed pace, year-round mild weather, and a wide sandy beach with beginner-size waves, perfect for learning to bodyboard,” Trips to Discover author K.C. Dermody writes. “While mornings can be foggy, that can make for a perfect time to enjoy the pleasures of Linden Avenue, shaded by palm trees and lined with cafes, galleries, and clothing stores.” The travel piece gives shout-outs to downtown favorites like Esau’s Café and The Spot, stating, “This eclectic, artsy town is one of California’s few remaining beach communities that hasn’t lost its original ﬂavor.” To read the article, visit tripstodiscover.com/americas-best-beach-towns.

The Santa Barbara County Fire Department, in conjunction with all local fire jurisdictions including Montecito, have declared May 20 as the start of the 2022 High Fire Season for all areas of Santa Barbara County. During High Fire Season, Montecito Fire Department increases staffing ahead of critical fire weather conditions and dispatches additional resources to wildland fire incidents. Additionally, all burn permits in Santa Barbara County are suspended during High Fire Season. As firefighters prepare for a busy and challenging fire season, the community is asked to join in preparing for wildfire by reviewing evacuation plans and building an emergency supply kit. The “Ready! Set! Go!” guide thoroughly outlines how to prepare one’s home and family for wildfire. To access the “Ready! Set!

Supervisors unanimously deny appeals against two local cannabis grows Concerned Carpinterians’ appeals shut down; cannabis grows will move forward

BY EVELYN SPENCE Following similar opinions as their colleagues at the County Planning Commission, the County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously denied appeals that sought to stop operation of two local cannabis grows, both Van Wingerden family owned. Supervisors were strong in their support for the grows, located at 4701 Foothill Road and 3508 Via Real – particularly the former. They praised the work the Van Wingerden family has done on cannabis odor control in the area; Supervisor Bob Nelson called the Van Wingerden family, “the one that is spending all the money to do it right.” “I’m deeply concerned about the impacts of cannabis on our youth,” Supervisor Steve Lavagnino said. “The proximity to the high school is troubling. Then I went and toured it (…) the most impactful was this odor mitigation. I sat inside the greenhouse, and I couldn’t smell cannabis when it was all around me.” Ed Van Wingerden owns the Foothill Road operation, while his son Ivan runs the Via Real project.

Ever-Bloom Project: 4701 Foothill Road

The cannabis grow at 4701 Foothill Road was unanimously approved by the Santa Barbara South County Planning Commission in early February, although concerns the project is too close to Carpinteria High School have followed it since its infancy. Carla Singer and Concerned Carpinterians – a vocal group in the area – filed an appeal against the Foothill Road grow on Feb. 11, shortly after it was approved by the planning commission.

The project is located on two parcels, spoke Wednesday. Commenter Tina Fawith 18.49 and 10.74 acres.

bis grow at 3508 Via Real, owned and run by Ivan Van Wingerden. The 9.68-acre project was approved by the South County Planning Commission in March; an appeal was filed shortly after by Jill Stassinos, Concerned Carpinterians and the Save Arroyo Paredon Creek group. The appellants’ issue largely lied with the grow’s proximity to Arroyo Paredon Creek and how the operation could affect the sensitive habitat. Stassinos argued the operation’s odors would have adverse effects on endangered species in the area and would be a public nuisance, and that modifications to the bank would affect fish and bird habitats. She also shared several pictures of misplaced or blank public notice signs attached to the properties. Planner Gwen Beyeler said several groups have determined odors will not affect fish and birds in the habitat, and that the grow’s odor abatement plan, public notices and bank modifications meet all requirements. While supervisors did ultimately vote to deny the appeal, they praised Stassinos’ approach to the appeal, noting that she did have “salient points.” “It was a legitimate appeal, it was time well spent,” Supervisor Lavagnino said. “But I think the questions you asked were answered in detail by either the staff or the applicant.”

Advance Care Planning series coming to Carpinteria Woman’s Club CVN REPORT

A free Advance Care Planning series will be given at the Carpinteria Woman’ Club next month, to help Carpinterians make decisions about their health care wishes. The program is organized by Compassionate Care of Carpinteria, an initiative of Hospice of Santa Barbara (HSB) and will be led by HSB Community Engagement Manager Jeanne West. On June 9 at 4 p.m., West will lead a seminar on how to choose a health care agent, a person who can manage a person’s health care in the event they are unable to. West will instruct participants in how to complete the legal document required. West will also hold follow up appointments on June 16 to help get participant’s health directives notarized for free. “As we have seen over the past several years with the rapid spread of Covid, individuals, young and old alike, have become seriously ill with this virulent virus. For many, there were no formal plans in place indicating their health care wishes prior to the crisis,” a representative from Compassionate Care of Carpinteria stated. “This has spurned an increased desire locally, as well as nationally, to help individuals aged 18 and over, to have meaningful discussions about the care they want – or don’t want – in the event of a serious or life-threatening medical emergency.”

Jeanne West, will lead an Advance Care Planning class at the Carpinteria Woman’s Club next month. Copies of the completed documents will be made and delivered to Cottage Hospital. “Beyond the conversation, we need to help individuals actually get the document completed,” West said. Sign up by contacting jwest@hospiceofsb.org or at (805) 866-4234. Registration is required. Learn more at getitdonesb.org. The Carpinteria Woman’s Club is located at 1059 Vallecito Road.

Santa Barbara County Health report as of May 20.

First booster recommended for everyone 5+

The Centers for Disease Control recommended last week everyone older than five should receive a Covid-19 booster shot, and that children between 5 and 11 receive their booster shot five months after their initial vaccination series. Prior to last week, only those older than 11 were eligible for a first booster shot. “Vaccination with a primary series among this age group has lagged behind other age groups leaving them vulnerable to serious illness,” the CDC said in an announcement. According to the CDC, 4.8 million children in that age group have had Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic, 180 have died and 15,000 were hospitalized. “Today, I endorsed ACIP’s vote to expand eligibility for Covid-19 vaccine booster doses. Children 5 through 11 should receive a booster dose at least 5 months after their primary series. Vaccination with a primary series among this age group has lagged behind other age groups leaving them vulnerable to serious illness,” CDC Director Rochelle P. Walensky said. “With over 18 million doses administered in this age group,

we know that these vaccines are safe, and we must continue to increase the number of children who are protected. I encourage parents to keep their children up to date with CDC’s Covid-19 vaccine recommendations.” “With cases increasing, it is important that all people have the protection they need.” Only the immunocompromised older than 12, or everyone older than 50, are currently eligible for a second booster shot. The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department will now only report Covid-19 statistics on Tuesdays and Fridays, the department announced. To learn where to get vaccinated for Covid-19, visit publichealthsbc.org/ vaccine. To get tested for Covid-19, visit publichealthsbc.org/testing. For more information from the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, call 211 and press #4 or email the county at PHDDOC. PIOCommunitySupport@sbcphd.org.

City will accommodate majority of Jr. Lifeguards waitlist after frustrated parents complain More than 100+ children had been stuck on waitlist for popular summer program

BY EVELYN SPENCE After more than a dozen frustrated parents and their children packed Monday night’s Carpinteria City Council meeting, complaining the city’s popular Jr. Lifeguards program was excluding 100 plus children, city staff told CVN Tuesday that they will pull 95 children off the waitlist. Originally, the city program had closed registration at 65 members, putting 100 children – including many who had attended the program in prior years – on the waitlist due to a staffing shortage, city staff told the council on Monday. However, due to recent staffing changes, Aquatics Superintendent Amber Workman told CVN the city will now remove 95 children from the waitlist and enroll them in the program. “We were able to hire more staff and make some adjustments to our program to accommodate more participants, we will start calling people from the waitlist this afternoon,” Workman said Tuesday. The popular seven-week program is a Carpinteria staple, parents argued to the council on Monday during public comment, saying that many plan their summers around the program. They urged the council to up the staff pay rate to $20 per hour from $15, to meet the competitive Santa Barbara city rates. Workman did not confirm to CVN how many more staff it had hired. She later confirmed city staff had submitted a request for pay increases, pending council approval. She had originally told the council on Monday that the city would need at least 10 more instructors to meet the need, “without compromising national safety standards.” Commenter Alena Ballat, 13, told the council Monday that when the Jr. Life-

Frustrated parents swarmed the Carpinteria City Council’s meeting on Monday, complaining that 100 children were stuck on the waitlist for the city’s popular Jr. Lifeguards program, pictured above last year, due to a stafﬁng shortage. City staff later told CVN they will be able to pull most of the children off the waitlist. guards program registration opened at 9 a.m. last week, her mother received a message at 9:04 a.m. “that it was already ﬁlled.” “I look forward to becoming a Carpinteria lifeguard one day,” she said. Her brother Michael, who later stood beside her, also told the council he wanted to be in the Jr. Lifeguards program. Parent and Santa Barbara City College teacher Osiris Castaneda also told the council to prioritize Latino representation in the program. He pointed out while 70% of the children in Carpinteria are Latino,

the majority of parents and children present at Monday’s meeting were white. “Forty-five percent to 60% of our Latino children cannot swim properly,” he said. We need to find an avenue for those children, as well as their parents, to get involved in this.” To be a staff member working in the Jr. Lifeguards program, individuals must be older than 18 and pass a swim test. The Jr. Lifeguards program runs June 20 through Aug. 5 on Mondays through Fridays, 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at Carpinteria City Beach.

Chain moratorium vote pushed due councilmembers’ absence

The Carpinteria City Council could not vote Monday on the urgency ordinance temporarily banning chain businesses within the city limits due to a lack of quorum. Because the matter is on the council’s table as an urgency ordinance, it requires that a minimum of four of the five councilmembers vote in favor for it to pass. Councilmember Natalia Alarcon was absent during Monday’s meeting, and Councilmember Roy Lee recused himself from the item, citing a potential conflict of interest; his family owns a small business in town, Uncle Chen Restaurant. The council first discussed an urgency ordinance temporarily banning chain businesses at its last meeting in early May, stating a need to protect small businesses. But while support for the ordinance had been seemingly strong at the last meeting, several commenters at Monday night’s meeting warned the council against passing the ordinance. Commenter Matt LaBrie and his team, who are currently renovating a large commercial property on the 700 block of Linden – formerly the Austin Hardware building – said the ordinance could affect the project’s future construction loans.

The council has not yet decided where it would apply within the city or who it would affect; it does have the authority to make exceptions for certain types of businesses. “We do have a problem with an urgency ordinance,” LaBrie said. “Case law around this section of the government code stipulates that you really need an eminent threat.” City legal staff Jena Shoaf Acos said the council does have the power to introduce an urgency ordinance that affects public health, safety and welfare. For example, if a chain business immediately coming to town could “lead to a lack of diversity within city limits,” that could create health and safety issues, she said. Other commenters, such as lawyer Mark Carney and Little Dom’s Seafood owner Warner Ebbink, asked that the council limit the ordinance to specific locations. Carney, speaking on behalf of the owners of the Casitas Plaza Mall, asked

the council to exclude the mall from its ordinance. “(The ordinance) really is not necessary,” he said. Ebbink, who gave his full support at last meeting, said he is “pro-development – sensitive, thoughtful development” and asked the council to limit the ordinance to the downtown-T area. “There’s more direct benefit in protecting areas like the T-zone,” he said. If the urgency ordinance passes, it would be in effect for 45 days. The council has not yet decided where it would apply within the city or who it would affect; it does have the authority to make exceptions for certain types of businesses, such as grocery stores or banks, or limit it to certain areas, such as the city’s downtown-T.

In the face of tragedy

School staff is equiped to help

BY JAMIE PERSOON, PRINCIPAL, CANALINO ELEMENTARY AND CARPINTERIA FAMILY SCHOOLS I want to acknowledge the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, in which a young man shot multiple people, mostly students, in an elementary school on Tuesday, May 24. When incidents like this occur (all too often), we re-examine our own safety plans on our campus. I have heard from some families asking questions about our training for such an event. Our staff members are required to do safety trainings each month through a program called Hour Zero. One of the modules we are trained on is active shooter training. This is unfortunately a scenario we talk about as a staff, and the School Site Council also reviews, edits and approves the Comprehensive Safety Plan in the fall. While we have lengthy safety plans and mandated training for staff, the discussion as a staff is about the current knowledge, and unfortunately the many incidents of violence on school campuses over the years. Previously, we held active shooter trainings in which we would practice a “lockdown” with locked doors, shades drawn and students hiding with their teacher. The data has shown that the lockdown is not the most effective; rather, we discuss and run through the more updated strategy of getting the students and staff away from the violence. Given the size of the campus, there are many exits from the campus, and every staff member has access to open one of the 12 exits from the campus. We also have updated communication systems, as well as 50 staff members who carry radios all day long. As the principal, I would operate as incident command until law enforcement arrived, which would be quite quickly, given the small size of our town. In addition, our gates are locked as of 8 a.m., and there is one way into the campus during the school day, which is the front office. None of us wants to envision any-

“None of us wants to envision anything like this happening in our town ... one of our strongest strategies to address these types of issues is the provision of mental health support for our students and families.” thing like this happening in our town. Nevertheless, the staff is provided training, and the CUSD leadership team discusses safety during our weekly leadership meetings at the district office. One of our strongest strategies to address these types of issues is the provision of mental health support for our students and families. This has been an intentional investment by our leadership team and our governing board, who have invested at Canalino and Carpinteria Family schools with two full-time school-based counselors, a Marriage Family Therapist (MFT) on site, and a full-time psychologist. All of our sites in CUSD have similar and comparable mental health resources as well. Our teachers understand the delicacy of these discussions in class, especially given the young age of our students. We want to create a safe space for questions and also for reassurance. If you have any questions or concerns or comments, please email me directly, jpersoon@cusd. net.

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 Carpinteria discuss different aspects of mental health and the resources available to residents in Carpinteria and Santa Barbara.

Addressing loneliness and connection through integrated health care BY ELSPETH MILLS, PSYD

Last year, the American Academy of Pediatrics, along with several other pediatric organizations, declared a National Emergency in Child and Adolescent Mental Health. This year, the World Health Organization reported that the global prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by 25%, citing one major explanation: the social isolation resulting from the pandemic. But even before the pandemic, the United States Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy identified loneliness as a public health “epidemic,” associated with a 26% increase in the risk of premature death. So, if we recognize loneliness and isolation as contributing factors in our national distress, then we can also identify connection as the intervention. The Carpinteria Health Care Center is located at 931 Walnut Avenue and is one of the five clinics in the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department system. The clinics are Federally Qualified Health Centers, whose mission is to serve the uninsured and under-insured. The Carpinteria Health Care Center has provided high-quality and culturally sensitive primary, OB and pediatric care to our community for many years. In the past couple years, the clinic has also begun offering behavioral health services. Clinic patients identified by their health care provider as benefitting from mental health care are referred to me, Dr. Elspeth Mills, a Clinical Psychologist and receive an assessment and treatment plan within weeks of their referral. During their initial appointment, I evaluate current symptoms and severity, and create a treatment plan that may include brief

“If we recognize loneliness and isolation as contributing factors in our national distress, then we can also identify connection as the intervention.” psychological interventions as well as referrals to community resources and specialty mental health care. In addition to working individually with patients, I am also a member of the Carp Connect Collaborative, and have been working with local organizations to facilitate more local opportunities for support and connection. Currently, I am working with New Beginnings Counseling Center to create a weekly “Women’s Circle” that we hope can counteract the loneliness and isolation many of us feel. By integrating behavioral health and primary care, the Carpinteria Health Care Center is able to offer medical interventions that account for the contextual aspects of each unique patient. In doing so, we hope to address both the physical and psychological health of our Carpinteria community. Elspeth Mills, PsyD, is a behavioral health specialist with Santa Barbara Public Health Department.

Governor’s Budget Proposals defy projections

The state revenues continue to defy projections. Schools and community colleges will receive a record $128 billion in funding in 2022–23 under Governor Gavin Newsom’s revised state budget at $300.7 billion, which he presented on Friday.

The TK-12 budget includes a 10% increase in general funding under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). While CUSD does not receive LCFF funding, allocation increases in one-time discretionary dollars, special education, universal TK, universal meals programs, expanded learning opportunities program and categoricals will assist us in meeting significant cost increases.

A heart wrenching protest

It was with a heavy heart that I saw the cover photo and center spread of this publication last week. Other than one brave young couple quietly reading their bibles in protest, the photos of all of those smiling people demanding the right to kill the unborn was truly heart wrenching. Roe v. Wade was enacted in an era before ultrasound and science gave us a better idea of fetal development. I was a teenager in the ‘70s and bought into the whole “blob of tissue” lie. To this day I have family and friends who regret and mourn for the decisions they made, and the babies lost because we all were fed that lie. Do those out protesting realize that overturning Roe v. Wade will simply return the decision to individual states and the voters? Unfortunately, abortion will still be legal in California and many other states. In this great democracy, I would think the protesters would be celebrating taking the decision that was made by an all-male Supreme Court and putting it back into the hands of the people. In the end, any loss of innocent life is nothing to celebrate. It is just heart breaking.

Leanne Rose Carpinteria

We’re not going back there

Thank you for giving such prominent coverage to the pro-choice demonstration (CVN, Vol. 28, No. 35). The front page says I am holding the sign, “I will not go quietly back to the 1950s.” That woman, in a black and white top, is not me. You identified me correctly on pg. 16, where a photo shows me carrying a sign saying “In the ‘60s, I marched for me. In my 60s, I march for you.” There will be many more events to come, and I urge young women and men to join the cause. The majority of protestors seemed to me to be past their child-bearing years. To paraphrase Senator Elizabeth Warren, we’ve seen the world where abortion was illegal and unsafe, and we’re not going back there!

Deborah Dentler Carpinteria

I can’t do this anymore

The second amendment to the constitution was written 230 years ago by men who wore white wigs, had wooden teeth and held slaves. They thought muskets were vital to defending a new country that had some catching up to do in terms of defense against adversaries like England. We don’t live in that time or place, thankfully. We live in today, and cry every day from the massacre of our fellow people, young and old – who are all defenseless against gun culture. People kill a lot of people with guns. There’s nothing sacred about protecting their rights or the rights of so many other backward thinkers. Children have rights to not be shot by American guns. How can we claim to be helpless to fix it because of George Washington? We need to elect people who understand time is not stuck in 1791 and to teach people to think for themselves on important issues with the gravest consequences. We can’t do this anymore.

An attempt to fasttrack development

Carpinteria’s Architectural Review Board (ARB) is scheduled to decide whether to give their preliminary approval to an interim trail spur that would inappropriately fast-track the development of our Open Space between Dorrance and south of the railroad tracks, prior to the November 2022 election when Carpinteria voters will decide for themselves how this public land should be used. This slight-of-hand rush-job proposal is for an interim trail spur clearly designed to accommodate a future parking lot on our open space parcel. In addition, it includes building a storage area for heavy equipment and a tool shed. Also included in the proposal is a 40-foot-wide opening at the dead end of Elm Avenue. This is both dangerous for children playing in the neighborhood and as reported by the city planner in the staff report, “The parking, in addition to the pedestrian traffic creates a hazardous situation for drivers and pedestrians alike.” This proposal can and should be put on hold, just as the Surfliner Inn’s proposed development is on hold. This proposal needs to wait to go to the ARB, Planning Commission and City Council until after the November election. It is inappropriate for city staff to pursue this proposal before the election, besides being a waste of time and money. Decency and respect for the voices of Carpinterians is called for.

Out of control: another perspective

In response to the letter “Out of control” (CVN, Vol. 28, No. 34), I am a Non-MAGA (America is Already Great), pro-choice American. I believe women have the right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. I am outraged and disgusted by the Right, Donald Trump, the remnants of the Republican Party and the many feckless and disingenuous politicians and media organizations that condone disseminating disinformation. They do not care about finding solutions to real problems, only espousing their personal beliefs and imposing them on other individuals. Yes, a Supreme Court draft opinion was leaked. I have not yet read that it was a crime to do so, although certainly a breach of protocol. The only crime here is if the Supreme Court’s final ruling reflects the leaked draft. Roe v. Wade has been settled law for 50 years, giving women control and choices over their own bodies – choices that should always be an individual woman’s right to decide, not for individual states to legislate. Individual states have no more rights than the federal government to dictate a woman’s right to choose. No, the Left, the Democrats and the

media did not misrepresent what happened, nor did the peaceful protesters physically threaten the justices, destroy property or cause mayhem everywhere. That was already done on Jan. 6 by the misguided ideologues on the Right who tried to overturn a free and fair election because their “man” didn’t prevail. Going forward, as a pro-choice American, I am done with the Republican Nationalist Party, those who choose lies over facts, and Donald Trump and his sycophants. If those sycophants now in elected offices are not voted out of office in the next election, America as a democratic republic will deteriorate and decay into an autocracy in the control of a minority.

Salcido for superintendent

Since day one of kindergarten, Susan Salcido has been committed to and focused on education. Her love of learning and later teaching led her to UC Santa Barbara, where she received a master’s degree in education and later a doctorate from University of Southern California. Dr. Salcido’s vision, foresight and leadership tool bag has and continues to see our school districts through the worst disasters our county has ever endured, beginning with the Thomas Fire to the debris flow to our current state of the Covid-19 pandemic. Public education is the most complicated institution of our public service system and rightly so! Being in charge of our children’s education is not easy, will never be easy and should never be easy. Having a competent, forward thinking, highly educated, work-with, non-party driven superintendent that can keep all the parts moving while employing the skill set to course-correct and plan for future successes is not a skill most of us possess.

I’m forever grateful to Dr. Susan Salcido’s continued and steadfast dedication to our county schools and know, without a doubt, that she’s the best person for this incredibly important, intense and complicated position.

Tina Fanucchi-Frontado Carpinteria

Poor leadership in DC

I have sincere respect for those who disagree with me. I continue to believe that Joe Biden is, by far, the worst president who has held that office during my 84-year lifetime. It would take far more than the allowable number of words to detail all of the economic and decision-making blunders he has made in less than two years and how quickly he places blame on others for the multitude of problems he created. But there is opportunity ahead: this is the United States, the greatest country ever created. We have never been perfect and never will be perfect. However, unlike Russia, China and many other countries, we can speak out and we have the opportunity to replace ineffective leaders. We should also continuously honor those who came before us, imperfect as they were, for building a country that people want to enter. Those who want to leave are free to do so. Granted, we should definitely learn to be a bit kinder to, and more understanding of, those who disagree with our thoughts and beliefs. Our present leaders in Washington D.C. in both major political parties set very poor examples for us. My genuine feeling is that we should replace Biden/Harris in 2024. Legislators such as Schumer, Pelosi, McConnell and a few others should be removed at the first opportunity. I especially abhor those politicians who use the word “racist” to describe those who disagree with them. Biden surfaces here: on July 22, 2020 he called Donald Trump “the country’s first racist president.” We’ll survive what I see as a real leadership crisis. I suggest that we use the wonderful rights we have to clean the swamp in Washington D.C. sooner rather than later. For those who disagree with me, we are all Americans. I love you all.

The 1/9 debris ﬂow was not so rare

Montecito and Carpinteria have been hit by four other debris-charged events during the past 200 years – and they were worse, researchers say.

BY MELINDA BURNS

The bulldozers are back at Randall and East Valley roads this month, working on the final phase of Montecito’s newest debris basin – a giant bowl designed to trap boulders and fallen trees and help protect the downstream homeowners on San Ysidro Creek from catastrophic debris flows. When it is finished in late August, the $10 million Randall Road basin will be the fifth on Montecito’s deadly creeks. The older basins on Cold Springs, San Ysidro and Romero creeks were quickly overwhelmed after the pre-dawn deluge of Jan. 9, 2018 and could not prevent the worst impacts of the raging rivers of mud, boulders and fallen trees that engulfed whole neighborhoods: 23 fatalities, 500 structures damaged or destroyed, 1,000 rescues in the first 24 hours, the closure of Highway 101 for 13 days and $1 billion in economic losses. Montecito will be somewhat better protected next time. To help get ready, the county has spent $800,000 expanding the Cold Springs basin by 50%. Next year, work will begin on a sixth debris basin on Buena Vista Creek, for $3 million. Even against the backdrop of these and other public works, though, much of Montecito remains exposed to dangerous debris-charged flows and floods. According to a $600,000, 168-page study of the historical record (which can be read at tprcsb.org) entitled “Fire, Flood and Landslide Dam History: Community of Montecito and Vicinity” and released this spring by the Project for Resilient Communities, these events are far from rare. “This was such a rough experience that trying to learn more about it is sometimes the only way you’re going to get better,” Pat McElroy, Project for Resilient Community’s executive director and a former city of Santa Barbara fire chief, said of the 1/9 catastrophe. The Project’s study shows that Montecito and Carpinteria have been hit with four other debris-charged events during the past 200 years that were larger than the 1/9 debris flow – the debris flows of 1825, 1861-62 and 1914, and the debris-laden floods of 1995. That’s an average “return interval” of 48 years between massive debris-charged events here. In all, the study shows, the South Coast from Gaviota to Carpinteria has experienced 36 debris flows and debris-laden floods since 1825. Twenty-two of them engulfed large portions of Montecito and

COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL

The original outlet at the Gobernador debris basin in Carpinteria, shown in the top photo in the basin embankment, has been modified to allow mud to pass through and capture more boulders and trees. In the bottom photo, the basin lies upstream behind the modified outlet. The county plans to similarly upgrade the outlets at the Cold Springs, San Ysidro and Romero debris basins, beginning this spring. Carpinteria – and that tally is likely on the low side because the 19th-century record is sparse, researchers say. “This was astonishing news to me,” said Larry Gurrola, the Project’s lead scientist and a consulting geologist with 27 years of experience in the tri-counties. “The news reports didn’t call them debris flows, but they referred to them as tidal waves of boulders, trees and water coming down the creeks and banks as a huge wave, destroying everything.” Two-thirds of the time, Gurrola found, debris-charged events in these communities occurred in post-wildfire conditions – the critical five-year period after a fire has devastated the mountainside and heavy rains are most likely to trigger an avalanche of mud. On 1/9, the massive Thomas Fire was still smoldering as the boulders and burned vegetation surged downhill. “The recent past is key to understanding the near future,” Gurrola said. Gurrola scoured newspaper archives; property records; geological survey, topographic and aerial maps; and county, state and federal flood reports to determine the size and frequency of debris flows and debris-laden floods in Montecito, and he mapped the paths they took on Montecito Creek and its tributaries, Cold Springs and Hot Springs creeks. “It seems like every time I came across a Montecito event, Carpinteria was part

of it as well,” Gurrola said. “The two watersheds are similar in terrain and geology.” The Project, a non-proﬁt group, now hopes to raise $2 million to map the debris ﬂow paths for the rest of Montecito’s creeks. The goal is to help the county draw up a master plan for protecting Montecito, McElroy said. “We’re trying to illuminate the problem and keep it in the public mind,” he said. “I think it makes some people nervous, but there’s no pretending it won’t happen again soon.” The Project is best known for installing two steel “ring” nets each across Cold Springs, San Ysidro and Buena Vista creeks to catch debris above the existing basins – a $5 million project that was funded with private donations and completed in 2019.

The 1914 catastrophe

After 1/9, UCSB geologists identified what they said was the previous debris flow of that magnitude in Montecito, an event at least 1,000 years old. But Gurrola contends that the 1914 debris flow was the “penultimate” event. In both 1914 and 2018, boulders and trees came surging out of the canyons during extreme rains, riding walls of mud 20 to 30 feet high, permanently altering the topography of Montecito and Carpinteria. In 1914 accounts, there is mention of hundreds of trees washing out to sea from all the creeks in Carpinteria. In the course of his review of the historical record, Gurrola found that after wildfires, the creeks sometimes produced multiple debris flows within just a few years or even months – a consequence of heavy rains, steep slopes, soft rock and vast amounts of vegetation on the mountainside. These findings contradicted a 2020 UCSB study that said it would probably take “hundreds to thousands of years” to build up enough material in the canyons to produce another large debris flow. “That’s just not true, and it does give people the wrong impression,” Gurrola said. “The watersheds of Montecito and Carpinteria are capable of quickly regenerating ample boulder and vegetation debris.” The Coyote Fire of 1964, for example, was followed by a debris flow in Montecito within two months, a debris-laden flood in Santa Barbara in 1967 and debris

flows in Montecito and Carpinteria in early 1969, Gurrola said. Ed Keller, a chief author of the UCSB studies and Gurrola’s former Ph.D. geology advisor, declined to comment. Gurrola’s work was reviewed by his mentor and co-author, J. David Rogers, a geological engineer at the Missouri University of Science and Technology and an expert in landslide hazards and levee failures. In newspaper accounts of the 1914 debris flow, one eyewitness, Jose Graviel Hernandez of the Fithian Ranch in Carpinteria, compared it to the events of 1825 and 1862. He recommended adopting the practices of the indigenous people and settlers who kept the lower canyons clear of trees in the early 1800s and let the flood waters radiate out onto the coastal plain. One of Gurrola’s more startling findings was his discovery of 10 debris flows and debris-laden floods that were caused by the collapse of landslide dams from Santa Barbara to Carpinteria during the past 200 years. A landslide would block a creek after heavy rains, forming a temporary lake. Then, within 24 hours, the dam would break, triggering a potentially deadly debris flow. The first landslide dam outbreak that appears in the historical record took place on Santa Monica Creek in Carpinteria in December 1861, Gurrola said. An account from the Heath Ranch describes how, on a clear night after rains, a sudden flood rushed through, swamping the house and leaving the entire plain covered in water 18 inches deep.

“Hero” of 1/9

There are no easy answers for how or even whether to try to “build out of” the fire-flood cycle in Montecito, even as it becomes more dire under climate change. Carpinteria is another story: the vast debris basin that was built by the federal government in 1977 above the town on Santa Monica Creek is twice as big as the Randall Road project. On Jan. 9, 2018, the Santa Monica basin filled once with debris and saved the city, prompting county officials to call it “the hero” of the day. During the debris-laden floods of 1995, the Santa Monica basin filled twice. But a basin that size is not under consideration in Montecito; there are too many homes in the foothills. In the wake of the multiple debris flows that followed the Coyote and Romero fires of 1964 and 1971, respectively, the county Flood Control director concluded that land near the mouths of creeks and along creek banks in Montecito “should probably not be built on at all.” Melinda Burns is an investigative journalist with 40 years of experience covering immigration, water, science and the environment.

Working hard at Workability Program BY DEBRA HERRICK

Q & A with CMS Education Specialist Kelli Flores

would not receive otherwise.

Special Education programs provide much needed support to students with different learning abilities and at different developmental stages. Carpinteria Middle School education specialist Kelli Flores, M.Ed., teaches students with moderate to severe disabilities and case manages students with IEPs who are mainstreamed into general education. CVN invited Flores for an interview to learn more about her background in Special Education and the school’s program, including the Workability program, which takes kids to local businesses to learn more about future career choices.

What is your favorite part of teaching in the special education program at CMS? My absolute favorite class to teach is Workability. I learned a lot from one of our former instructional assistants, Anya Ibarra, who was running most of the program before I was hired. Special thanks to her for going above and beyond her normal duties to get this program started.

CVN: How long have you worked at Carpinteria Middle School? Kelli Flores: This is my fourth year at CMS. I started at Canalino Elementary School mid-year in 2017 as the resource specialist but was transferred at the end of the year due to the need at CMS to start a moderate/severe program, as the number of students with moderate to severe disabilities was growing. I never would have envisioned myself as a middle school moderate/severe teacher but to my surprise, I’ve really enjoyed it and feel that it was a blessing in disguise to create this much-needed program here and serve a variety of students who really benefit from it. What inspired you to become an education specialist? My original inspiration to go into this field started in high school with a family friend who had a disability. I taught her basic life skills and how to swim one summer as a swim instructor/lifeguard. Teaching her to swim was one of the most incredible and rewarding experiences of my life at that time. She was extremely fearful of water because she had a breathing trach in her throat most of her life. She was eventually able to remove it and the hole closed which is when her mom asked me if I would try to teach her to swim. At the start of summer, she was so fearful that she wouldn’t even get in the water and by the end of the summer, I was able to get her to jump in, swim across the pool

I’ll never forget that magical summer. I went to California State Long Beach on a soccer scholarship and majored in Psychology. I have a mild/mod and a mod/sev education specialist credential as well as a Masters in Special Education from University of the Pacific. I started my teaching career as an instructional aide in a resource elementary classroom in Long Beach and fell in love with working with students with special needs and making a difference. What classes do you teach at CMS? I have my own classroom designed for students with mod-sev disabilities. The classes that I teach are English, Math, Science, Academic support and Workability. My classroom also serves as a safe space on campus for a variety of other children with and without disabilities to come and get a snack, water, rest or take a break when they need it. I love how the space I have created has served as such an amazing resource for many other students as well.

Describe the Workability program. The objective of the Workability program is to teach students about a variety of career/job opportunities as well as acquire simple job skills that we practice in our classroom (answering phones, cooking, cleaning, making coffee, gardening, etc.) At the beginning of the year, I always ask students what they want to be when they grow up and I do my best to tailor our field trips around their interests so they can get an idea of what kinds of jobs they could possibly have in the future. For example, if a student loves animals, we may go to the zoo or the veterinary clinic. I always try to make sure that each student really looks forward to at least one of the trips we plan but really, they all learn so much from all the trips and enjoy them all. So much more is gained from these experiences that I never even realized such as practicing how to order at a restaurant, social communication skills with asking questions and waiting your turn, and just exposure to all these opportunities in the community that they

Any pitfalls to implementing the program that you can share? In the past, transportation and money have been an issue. Big thanks to our special ed director, Karla Curry, who has helped us navigate the transportation costs and supported the purchases of our coffee business and funds for cooking. The vans even when approved are also sometimes not available or they are broken down and we used to have to pay for each van usage prior to the current special ed director. Some field trips like the zoo, MOXI Museum, etc. require an admission fee of some sort. Sometimes we are able to pay with money from a grant, but the amount is not very much. Time, as a special education teacher and mother of two young children, can always be a pitfall as well, but I have been very fortunate to have amazing instructional aides to assist me with this program. Without them this would not be possible. Marissa Hallinan has taken over after Anya Ibarra took an office job at CMS mid-year and has done an amazing job helping me plan, set up field trips, and more. I am so grateful for their support. What is your greatest hope for all CMS students? My greatest hope for all CMS students is for them to be able to learn in an environment where they feel loved and safe. I’ve done my best to create a very welcoming environment in my classroom where all students are welcome, and I know our administration, counselors and CMS teachers have also worked really hard to create that culture on our campus as well. I’m so blessed to be working among so many caring adults across the CMS campus.

After 21 years, district counselor welcomes retirement BY EVELYN SPENCE

Over the past 21 years, Darcie Campbell has worked several roles in the Carpinteria Unified School District: playground supervisor, elementary school aide, middle school counselor and finally as a counselor at Carpinteria High School. Campbell, who is set to retire at the end of this school year in two short weeks, told CVN that of all her time on campus, it is the people she worked with and helped she will remember the most. “It’s been an awful lot of fun,” she said. Campbell grew up in the Santa Barbara area and moved to Carpinteria in the late 70s after she got married and bought her first h ome. S he h ad h er children in Carpinteria, who went through Carpinteria schools. But after taking a few classes in psychology and childhood development, she decided to go back to college at 35 after she “had my family situation set up.” Campbell has an undergraduate degree from Cal State Northridge, and a masters from Azusa Pacific University. She first worked in the district as a playground supervisor – “That was my first job,” she said. “That set the career in motion.” From there, she worked as an elemen-

tary school aide before working at the county education office in special education. She then returned to the middle school as a counselor, before taking a job as a high school counselor. When asked if one student or memory stood out, Campbell recalled a student from early in her career who had attended Harvard. “(The student) had actually completed two AA degrees from the community college before they even graduated high school. That’s a rare thing,” she said. “Writing a letter of recommendation for a student like that was very challenging, but very rewarding.” Campbell, who has a granddaughter at the middle school, said she hopes to travel, but mainly wants to focus on her hobbies: painting, gardening and exercising. She described her profession as rewarding, and said it was an honor to work at the district over the past two decades. “It’s a really rewarding profession for people that are interested in working with our next generation of students, and it’s really an honor to be able to support our parents and students in the community,” she said. “I’m very blessed.”

After 21 years with the Carpinteria Unified School District, counselor Darcie Campbell will retire at the end of the school year.

A show of Carpinteria artist Ben O’Hara’s landscape paintings is now on view at Zookers Restaurant.

Ben O’Hara landscapes exhibited at Zookers

On May 24, the art show “California Gold” opened at Zookers Restaurant featuring landscape paintings by Ben O’Hara. “It showcases my latest paintings and will take you on a visual journey through our local backcountry, to Jelly Bowl, and beyond to the Channel Islands,” O’Hara said. O’Hara said he planned to donate 20% of proceeds from the show toward student scholarships at the Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center. “California Gold” will run from May 24 through Aug. 21. Zookers Restaurant is located at 5404 Carpinteria Ave.

Carpinteria artist Robert Abbott’s oil painting, “From Alma Rosa,” is now on display along with several of his other works at the Marcia Burtt Gallery in Santa Barbara.

Robert Abbott featured in SB gallery

A new show at Marcia Burtt Gallery in Santa Barbara features works from Carpinteria artist Robert Abbott. The show, “Cultivated,” features paintings and photographs of agricultural aspects of Central Coast and Southern California. Abbot’s oil paintings depict landscapes inspired by his work as a farmer, focusing on vehicles, buildings and crops that decorate the area’s farmland. “Abbott does not just observe the landscape; he transforms it. As a farmer, he creates practical land art that results in rows of ochre sprouting into greens and yellows. As an artist, he deconstructs the parts and rebuilds them into paint, emphasizing patterns and shapes that form the farmland seen from a particular viewpoint,” the exhibition text states. Marcia Burtt Gallery is located at 517 Laguna St.

Kids & kids get down in the dirt on farm field trip PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON

A combined kindergarten and first grade class from Carpinteria Family School had some one-on-one time with the animals at Carpinteria High School, courtesy of Carpinteria’s Future Farmers of America chapter. The Carpinteria High School group – which raises pygmy goats, cows, lambs, pigs and other farm animals – gave elementary students a tour around the barnyard, providing a close look at how the animals are brought up. Carpinteria’s FFA chapter is well known for its rearing tactics; it earned Chapter of the Year in 2021.

“How do you know that this land is sacred?” Three reservation Navajos were on their way to a Pow Wow They stopped by my place to visit my Native American foster daughter, Renae Geneeha. My daughter was at a young peoples AA dance. But I welcomed them. While I was preparing food, I overheard one of them say that this land was Sacred. I can out of the kitchen and asked, “How do you know that this land is Sacred?” Yellow Hand and Blue Cloud were Shy. They seemed unready to talk about it with someone they probably felt might not understand. But Leeroy, who I had gotten friendly with on previous visits, slowly began to explain. “Whenever you have the mountains on one side protecting you from your enemies and the ocean on the other side, that is a sign. There is food for The People, gifts from both the mountain and the ocean. The ocean offers up drift wood for shelters, for fires, for building boats that take The People to the Islands, Islands that protect them from tidal waves. And the mild climate means the gardens will grow food year round. He hesitated, And there are other ways, he continued, the way of the Spirit…but The People will talk about that only among themselves.” There are those that believe that it is Sacred benevolence that is playing a role in Carpinteria’s small town survival PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Read-y, set, go!

Canalino Elementary and Carpinteria Family schools’ fifth grade students jumped right into this year’s, Battle of the Books, an annual countywide competition that encourages reading across the county and identifies top-notch readers. Each student had to read between 15 and 28 books to qualify before they were placed with other students in the county. Students answered several questions about the books on the reading list, competing against 20 teams of five or six students. “Our Carpinteria students had a fantastic time meeting other readers from across the county and flexing their reading prowess. Congratulations, readers!” Canalino transitional kindergarten teacher Katrina Kuryliw said.

to the Carpinteria Children’s Project last week, thanking their teacher, Ms. Horrigan, the Carpinteria Library, the Friends of the Carpinteria Library Used Bookstore and their parents.

“I learned that I love helping kids and that we are capable of doing things to help out the community,” Boles said. “I cherished the time that I spent with Isabella while being able to do lots of work.”

Tweens donate books and skateboards to Children’s Project

Local tweens Isabella Stovall and Naomi Boles have found their newest venture: a skateboard and books initiative, aptly named Books & Boards. Last year, Stovall helped raise $23,000 for the Carpinteria Skatepark. For this initiative, Stovall and Boles reached out to local businesses for sponsors. Over the past few months, they were able to collect skateboards, helmets and books for children under 12 years old. “They were inspired by the community’s support for the skate park and want all kids to be able to enjoy it, regardless of socioeconomics. So, they raised money to purchase skateboards and helmets. And books too, because reading is important,” Stovall’s mother, Jessica, said. The pair handed over their donations

Still searching for Tom Curren

CVN

IT’S ALL SURFING CHRISTIAN BEAMISH First released 25 years ago, the film “Searching for Tom Curren” was screened in Ventura the weekend before last, and I bailed-out on family movie night at home in hopes of seeing TC’s timeless surfing once again. Unfortunately (despite Curren’s surfing looking as fresh as ever) the film quality was so bad that I left half-way through. The first indication of trouble was the film-operator’s personal computer desktop projected on the theater screen. People in the crowd called out, “Fit-to-screen!” as the film started because it needed to be formatted from the home computer set up. Tickets online came to about 18 bucks with additional fees, and I was feeling kind of ripped off with the funky set up and murky picture as I headed back to my car, navigating the Saturday night downtown Ventura party scene, grateful to have my family to get home to. But Tommy’s Q&A on stage beforehand salvaged the event. Still fit in his late 50s, with a trim haircut salted grey on the sides, Curren walked on to raucous applause from an appreciative audience. As is his way, he was at once seemingly bemused, self-conscious and, ultimately, self-possessed. The host first gave away a Channel Islands Twin Fin, which was amusing as the winner (determined by a large Rip Curl Wetsuits sticker placed randomly under his seat by staff before the start of the event) was a rowdy young dude who immediately announced that he was giving the board to his deserving friend. Not impressed with the man on the mic’s attempts at hype, the board winner turned and gave the crowd a deadpan, perplexed look in lieu of answering inane questions. As for Curren, the hype-man on stage was asked about his surfing experiences in Ventura. One could almost see the collective mental images developing from the older surfers in the room – the epic Jimmy Metyko photos of a once-ina-century sandbar at Santa Clara Rivermouth in the 80s, with TC and the late and beloved Willy Morris going tube-ride for tube-ride in those brisk winds blowing straight offshore from the Oxnard Plain. “Well, being from Santa Barbara,” Curren explained, “we have to come to Ventura for waves.” This brought knowing laughs from the crowd, both for the essential truth of the statement and for Tom’s sardonic delivery. “So, thank you, Ventura, for having us.” “You’re welcome!” a surfer barked-out from the crowd, the exchange at once humorous and suggestive of earlier, edgier days on the beaches of Ventura and Oxnard. Us Santa Barbara County surfers do make the run down to Ventura and Oxnard, especially in summer, as only South-East swells (they’re rare but they do come, originating from hurricanes just off Cabo San Lucas) make these shores work, June through September (evening wind-swell notwithstanding). We also head down there in winter because the curve of the coast, and the deep water just offshore makes the Northern Hemisphere surf hit the beach with undiluted power,

Nobody does it like Tom. and that hard-offshore Oxnard wind makes world-class waves. How to say this delicately? Ventura County, after-all, is distinct from Santa Barbara County with many neighborhoods having what my wife and I call a “high RV quotient,” and, perhaps an even higher per-capita rate of full-body tattoos. Then again, jostling for parking with the Maserati set in Montecito and estate surveillance on the public thoroughfare at Padero Lane make for their own forms of social alienation. I like Ventura for the same reason I like Carpinteria, which is that both cities have their roots in the natural resources that define them: agriculture here, and (complicated and freighted as it is) oil there, along with a solid fishing and manufacturing base as well. People who make and do things in the physical world – who Walt Whitman celebrates in “Leaves of Grass” referencing the working man’s “barbaric yawp” – have a refreshing “realness” to them. It is said that a surfer’s style is reflective of the kind of person they are: aggressive, harmonious, non-committal, etc. I also think that surfing offers another reveal that has nothing to do with personality, only one’s level of achievement in the very specific skill set of wave riding. In other words, surfing cannot be faked. It can be emulated and is often overdone, but bottom line, a surfer can only do what he or she has the ability to do on a wave – that’s the beauty of our sport. Tom Curren, three-time world champion, is unique among all surfers for the physical poetry he brings to wave riding. At once poised and radical, there are elements from every era of surfing in his performance. And if surfing does telegraph some aspect of personality, then his wave riding suggests the ability to adapt and incorporate the full gamut of experience – from a Hawaiian Style “Bully Boy” stance in big waves, to lithe whips and snaps on the clean point surf of home. Whether in the far West of Ireland, or on the gritty shores of Oxnard, or even on a movie screen with poor quality, watching Curren surf is an education. Christian Beamish took leave of his position at Coastal View News in October 2020, to pursue his surfboard business, “Surfboards California,” full time. He continues his monthly column. The former Associate Editor of The Surfer’s Journal, Beamish is also the author of “Voyage of the Cormorant” (Patagonia Books, 2012) about his single-handed expedition down the coast of Baja California by sail and oar in his self-built Shetland Isle beach boat. He lives with his wife and two children in Carpinteria.

Surﬁng cannot be faked. It can be emulated and is often overdone, but bottom line, a surfer can only do what he or she has the ability to do on a wave – that’s the beauty of our sport.

Chef Heather grew up in upstate New York. She followed her dream of living in Southern California and received her certificate in Culinary Arts at SBCC. She has worked at many places coast to coast, including Eleven Madison Park in New York City, and earned the Executive Pastry Chef title at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito. She currently is head of the pastry program at The Food Liaison in Carpinteria and has gained a loyal following from near and far. She is passionate about bringing people joy with her delicious desserts.

Prepare a lightly gluten-free floured surface, like a large cutting board or counter, and place your shortcake mixture on it. Roll out the shortcake dough to approximately ½ inch thick.

bottom of your top halves. Spoon or pipe on your whipped cream, then place the top of the shortcake on the whipped cream.

Can you believe it’s almost June and summer is right around the corner? What better way to bring in the season than to share my strawberry shortcake recipe? There are many versions of this dessert, calling for anything from angel food cake to almond shortbread cookies, but in my opinion the original recipe is best. Made with a flaky biscuit-like shortcake, fresh citrus macerated berries, and a dollop of whipped cream, these shortcakes are sure to impress. I couldn’t have had better timing in sharing this recipe because we are in peak strawberry season, and it happens to be National Strawberry Shortcake Day on June 14. Many states around the country hold strawberry festivals around this date, including the Mattituck Strawberry Festival, which I have attended many times during summer vacation with my family on Long Island. There is also the California Strawberry Festival held just down the road in Oxnard. California produces roughly 90% of strawberries grown in the United States, so take advantage of our local farmers market and buy some of these ultra-fresh and sweet berries. If strawberries aren’t your favorite fruit, feel free to substitute another berry or stone fruit. Enjoy! Recipe yields about 6 cakes

Condor Gulch

CVN

UNPREDICTABLE WILDERNESS CHUCK GRAHAM Nothing screams Pleistocene Epoch like an endangered California condor. Thermal updrafts were already swirling upward within the Condor Gulch Trail at Pinnacles National Park, the weathered volcanic crags, and spires ideal habitat for North America’s largest flying land bird. From the moment we reached the trailhead there were squadrons of opportunistic scavengers dotting cloudless skies. The cleaners of the forest were circling and soaring way overhead, those raptor’s superhero-like vision seeking carrion concealed in the dense, parched chaparral surrounding this unique landscape that became a national park in 2013. At first it was a little difficult to decipher which vultures were which, but as my girlfriend Holly Lohuis and I walked the well-maintained route, it became increasingly clear what was what as we traversed into the high peaks. For one, the wingspan of a turkey vulture doesn’t measure up to the nearly 10-foot-wide wingspan of the California condor. And when turkey vultures fly/soar they tip back and forth. A condor never does. After a few flaps of its massive wings, condors hold steady as they soar like a hang glider.

High Peaks Biome

Once Holly and I plateaued the narrow ridge and rounded behind the high peaks, we crossed paths with a biologist using telemetry to monitor the condors within the region. Each condor is fitted with a numbered wing tag and Global Positioning System (GPS). We saw eight to 10 condors throughout the day, but she said there were more throughout the national park. “Many of the birds fly back and forth between Pinnacles and the Big Sur Coast,” she said, as she gradually waved the antennae, picking up beeps, some strong, others faint. “There are some birds that visit the refuges south at Bitter Creek and Hopper Mountain.” We also learned there were at least three active nests hidden throughout Pinnacles. The craggy spires standout in

Holly looks for condors above the high peaks in Pinnacles.

“Amongst the deep blue sky and those incredible crags, a condor soared high above, a mere black dot against the blue.“ the chaparral choked Gabilan Mountains. The range is located on the eastern fringe of Central California’s Salinas Valley. The volcanic uplift is a remnant of an ancient volcanic field. It’s one of the many geological features of the San Andreas Fault Zone. All the forces of nature have been in place for millions of years affecting the unique topography of Pinnacles National Park. Heat, wind, frost and water have all played their part in its creation. Water is the most active ingredient today continuing to carve out its cracks, gorges, caves, and spires, prime habitat for the California condor, which were first released here at Pinnacles in 2011.

Turkey vultures soar in Pinnacles National Park.

Thermal Rise

After gazing across several overlooks, hiking portions of the shaded ridge and exposed crags, Holly found a lichen-covered lookout with epic views of the High Peaks Trail down to Bear Gulch and its shimmering reservoir. A cool breeze wafted skyward, and taking advantage of its updraft was a mature, green-tagged condor known as #26, its pumpkin-colored head distinct against the brushy chaparral backdrop below. I scrambled out with my camera onto a narrow precipice as the condor circled below me several times. Another physical characteristic I love about condors is as they are flying, their wingspan is wide open, and their wingtips appear as long, dark fingers. The velvety feathers of #26 stood out like no other condor in the vicinity, a glistening sheen reflecting off its wings as the sun beat down overhead. Condors weigh around 20 pounds, and when utilizing those thermal updrafts, can reach speeds of 55 mph. Even more impressive is their ability to reach altitudes of 15,000 feet. On an average day condors can fly for 150 miles. They soar

so high for so long it’s kind of a “now you see them, now you don’t” scenario. They can be soaring right overhead, and within a few seconds simply vanish.

Chaparral Descent

Once Holly and I were below the high peaks, descending back to the trailhead, other birds became active in the shaded oak groves. Acorn woodpeckers worked hard on their impressive granaries. A pair of stellar jays hopped from limb to limb above a seasonal arroyo. However, when I glanced back over my shoulder gazing skyward toward the tallest pinnacles, a condor caught my eye. Amongst the deep blue sky and those incredible crags, a condor soared high above, a mere black dot against the blue. Nevertheless, that high-flying speck demanded all my attention.

THROWBACK

Bring on summer

Memorial Day weekend officially kicks off tourist season in Carpinteria, and a packed State Beach Park can be counted on between now and Labor Day. As pictured back in 1925, a portion of today’s state park was the Fish Auto Camp, and much like today, campers from the hot interior of the state flocked to the campground in search of cooler temperatures and, of course, the World’s Safest Beach. The summer edition of Carpinteria Magazine hits the streets this week. Featured are a collection of never-before published images of Carpinteria State Beach Park‘s yesteryears. Pick up a copy of the magazine at most CVN distribution locations. To learn more about Carpinteria history, visit the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History’s website carpinteriahistoricalmuseum.org to access more articles on local history.

Girls Inc. honors Title IX anniversary

This year’s Girls Inc. Week celebrated the 50th anniversary of Title IX, a federal law established in 1972 prohibiting sex discrimination in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. On June 23, 2022, the law which sought to establish gender equality will turn 50. Girls Inc. of Carpinteria continues to put an importance on sports in girls’ lives, and to “break down stereotypes and inspire girls to pursue these historically male-dominated roles,” Jamie Collins, executive director of Girls Inc. of Carpinteria, said.

Mavericks founder talks basketball team success

The Rotary Club of Carpinteria Noon recently welcomed guest speaker Ryan Reed, founder of Carpinteria Mavericks Athletics, a youth basketball club. Reed discussed the team’s expansion over the years and stressed a need for donations. Reed, who is also the owner of Coast Supply Co. which has a showroom on Padaro Lane, said more than 100 kids are enrolled in the non-profit Mavericks teams. Mavericks offers programs for third through 12th grade boys and girls. “Ryan’s message was that they use basketball to teach character through athletics,” Rotarian Cheryl Wright said.

Assistant city manager visits Rotary Morning, mentoring program reopens

Camila Herrera plays with a soccer ball at Girls Inc. of Carpinteria. The organization celebrated the 50th anniversary of Title IX this month.

Assistant City Manager Michael Ramirez dropped by the Rotary Club of Carpinteria Morning earlier this month to introduce himself and discuss his background with city management. Ramirez, who was hired with the city of Carpinteria in December 2021, discussed his background working in Moorpark and Oxnard, and his 23 years of public service. “I am very enthusiastic about working with the Carpinteria management team and the (residents) of Carpinteria to develop projects together. (Resident) input is critical in getting the best projects possible,” he told the group. The club also recently launched a mentoring program for high school students in the area, offering students interviews with Rotarians who give advice from their respective fields. “Student participants gain rare access to professionals that are considered experts in their fields – from CEOs of global corporations to small-business owners and startup entrepreneurs,” Club member Art Fisher said. The mentoring program is coordinated by Rotary members Mary Layman and Steve Gerteis. Learn more at mentorscarpamrotary@gmail.com or by calling (805) 941-0624.

At only 16 years old, Shamblin has made a splash in girls basketball.

Brooklyn Shamblin is one of 40 girls in the country to be invited to the USA trials.

Local hooper Brooklyn Shamblin invited to USA Trials

The slashing playmaker had a standout freshman season at Oaks Christian.

BY RYAN P. CRUZ

After a monster freshman season at Oaks Christian – earning Miramonte League and allstate honors along with a CIF-SS Division 3A Girls Basketball Championship – Carpinteria local Brooklyn Shamblin was one of 40 student athletes to get the exclusive invite to the USA Basketball U17 Team Trials. “It’s definitely a dream come true, and an honor,” Brooklyn said. “I feel like I’ve been preparing for this my whole life.” A year ago, Brooklyn made waves by committing to play college basketball at USC as just an eighth grader. Her mother Julie Shamblin, a teacher and cheerleading coach at Carpinteria High School, said they were nervous about heading into her first season at Oaks Christian, but that she was prepared to play at a higher level. “She’s worked really hard,” Julie said. “It’s been a crazy freshman year.” Brooklyn helped lead the Lions to a 25-4 season, winning the Miramonte League title and going on to claim the Girls CIF-SS 3A championship with a 54-33 win over Shadow Hills on February 26. “It was really surreal. You kind of dream of these situations,” Julie said. A couple weeks ago, the family got the news that Brooklyn had been one of only seven girls from the class of 2025 to be invited to the USA team trials in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

“I was really excited, just to be on the list with some of these other girls,” Brooklyn said. Playing at Oaks Christian – where the team beat six Division 1 schools – and competing with the top athletes for the USA trials, she said, gave her the opportunity to measure herself against the best in the game. Julie and Brooklyn both gave thanks for the coaches that helped along the way, from her youth basketball days in Carpinteria to this year at Oaks Christian, where coach Kristy Hopkins came out of retirement to coach one more season. “We’re so indebted to her,” Julie said. “Not only did she allow (Brooklyn) to play as a freshman, she taught her it’s about more than just baskets.” Brooklyn said that she was able to earn the trust of her new teammates by establishing a connection and showing her work ethic during practice. “Our team had really good chemistry from the beginning,” she said, adding that “it’s not about being the best scorer, but being the best hustler and getting everyone involved.” Brooklyn’s Team USA tryouts begin Thursday, and she will spend two weeks training in Colorado, where each athlete will be decked out in official USA gear: “clothes, shoes, equipment, everything they would need,” Julie said. After trials, she will find out if she will com-

pete on the final roster, but both Brooklyn and Julie will always remember their small-town California roots. She plans to give back to the community, whether it be through coaching or other outreach programs like the ones that helped her develop her skills years ago at the Carpinteria Boys & Girls Club. “That’s where these seeds were planted so long ago,” Julie said.

Carpinteria’s 2022 Boys Volleyball team in the CIF-SS Championship Game.

Looking back on the Warriors’ volleyball success

“It’s been a great year!” wrote Carpinteria head coach Mickey Caughey in his final boys volleyball recap of the year. Despite two losses at the end of the year, the Warriors finished as Co-Citrus Coast League champions, Runners-Up in the CIF-SS Division 5 Championships, and earned a chance to compete in the CIF State Regional Volleyball Championships for the first time in school history. Caughey, in his last year after 40 years of coaching, described the boys’ last road trip of the season to compete against Division 2 Champion Madison High School in San Diego. “For us, it was yet another very long road trip all the way down to San Diego,” he said. “We didn’t mind because it was the chance to play at the next level.” It was that “no big deal” attitude that the Warriors carried with them all season, showing up week after week and proving themselves against teams in higher divisions with much larger student populations. Several times this season, Carpinteria played up to the challenge in big-name local tournaments at Dos Pueblos, Bishop Diego and Santa Barbara. Against Madison, the boys came out swinging, winning the first set 25-23. In the second set, both teams were locked at 25 before Madison came out on top 27-25 to even the match at one set apiece. In the third set, Carpinteria trailed 2-9 before roaring back to a 25-22 set win, before Madison came out on top of a back-and-forth battle once again to claim the fourth set, 25-23. In the final tiebreaking set, Madison jumped out ahead 8-14, needing just one more point to claim the win, but Carpinteria clawed back with four straight points to force a timeout with the score 12-14. Madison was able to get one more point to take the win, with the Warriors walking away with their heads held high. “It was a great match for us and we were really having some fun,” Caughey said. “It was a good feeling to take a Division 2 team all the way to five sets.” Following the match, Madison Athletic Director Rick Jackson sent a message to Carpinteria staff applauding the Warriors’ effort and sportsmanship: “It was a joy to watch your team tonight,” Jackson wrote. “They genuinely looked like they were just having a great time playing and competing. It was a very refreshing evening. You have a great group of young men.” Caughey replied: “I’ve been involved with coaching most of our varsity players since they were freshmen and they truly do have a great time playing and competing. I feel lucky to be their head coach in this my last year of coaching. They are a great group of young men!”

Carpinteria AYSO All-Star Teams Celebrate Wins at Strawberry Cup By Dan Runhaar & Brett Labistour

This past weekend, three Carpinteria AYSO All-Stars Girls teams competed in Camarillo’s 27th Annual California Strawberry Cup. The U10 girls’ team showed vast improvement from their early-season performances but could not earn a spot in the championship round. However, Ailene Wheatley, Eva Arroyo and Layla Foster were presented with good sportsmanship awards. The U12 girls ended the weekend with three wins and a loss, edging out the North Valley Black Mambas for third place in their highly competitive pool. In addition, good sportsmanship awards were presented to Caroline Cooney and Penny Rowe. The 14U Girls placed first in pool play with two wins and a draw, edging out a competitive Culver City All-Star team and advancing to the Championship final on Sunday afternoon against Diamond Bar. After Diamond Bar scored early in the second half, Charlotte Cooney leveled up the score off a corner taken by Kaydance Gardner, ending regulation time tied at 1-1. An exciting extra time remained scoreless with multiple opportunities for both teams, ending the match at a draw and forcing a tie-breaker penalty shoot-out. Evelyn Lara, Kaydance Gardner and Logan Labistour found the back of the net with their shots, while Diamond Bar managed one score thanks to standout goalkeeping by Ava Miller for a Carpinteria victory. Good sportsmanship awards were presented to Lindsay Doyle and Ava Miller.

C-DOG sets sights on making Carpinteria “a dog-friendly destination”

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

BY DANIELLE DE LA MONT

The Carpinteria Dog Owner’s Group (C-DOG), is spearheading a new initiative in collaboration with local businesses to put Carpinteria on the map as a dog friendly destination. C-DOG is creating a comprehensive map of shops, restaurants and other places where dogs are welcome in town. Some businesses are restricted by various regulations and cannot allow dogs inside, however many offer permitted options such as patio seating. Others have committed to providing treats behind the counter or a bowl filled with water outside to keep dogs on the move happy. Nearly 40% of American families own a dog and the demand for pet friendly destinations is on the rise. Research has shown people are often willing to spend more on travel expenses if it means their furry friend can come along too. People who live locally are also more inclined to patronize establishments if they know they can bring their dog along. Other regions have recognized this lucrative market and have been taking steps to attract dog owners with targeted advertising. Wisconsin recently created a campaign to target dog owners with the slogan, “Dogs are welcome in Wisconsin, and they can bring their people, too.” A non-profit organization, C-DOG is looking for sponsors to support the production of materials such as

Tony and Leilani Ibarra, owners of The Thrifty Flea – along with Lola, Murphy Brown and Lambie – support C-DOG and welcome furry friends to help their human companions shop for finds in their store. brochures, water bowls and other amenities. This is one of a number of projects in the works by C-DOG in addition to

its already busy event calendar, which usually includes the Independence Day parade, the annual Howl-O-Ween costume competition, and the annual winter

Holiday Parade. To sponsor, volunteer or ask a question, email woof@c-dog.org, visit c-dog.org or call (805) 668-3366.
