Happy 50th, Carpinteria DUGRÉ

The crowd at the conceptual review for a bluffs development proposal was unanimously against the project.

Council and planners send developers packing

Tee Time development proposal too intense, too big

BY PETER DUGRÉ

A proposal to build a hotel and neighborhood where Tee Time driving range and row crops currently occupy 27.3 acres of blufftop property was dead on arrival at a City of Carpinteria conceptual review meeting on Sept.

21. Developers delivered details of their wish to build a 154-room hotel, 45 residences, 40 apartments and 11 live-work units, and not one member of the 10-person joint panel of the Carpinteria City Council or Planning Commission supported the idea.

The Carpinteria City Council chamber, corridors and an ancillary room were packed with veteran local grassroots environmentalists who have beaten back bluffs proposals for decades. Attendees were so united that they had green T-shirts printed ahead of the meeting that read “Save the rest of the bluffs.” Capital Hall Partners, which has an option to buy the property that borders the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve, is the project applicant and was represented by Brad Hall.

Following lengthy public comment that was 100 percent against the development proposal, Councilman Al Clark told developers, “I’m going to exercise all the flexibility and discretion given to me to keep this as small a development as possible and to protect our small beach town. The highest and best use of this property is as recreation and open space.”

The property is currently zoned for Planned Unit Development, which is designated primarily for residential usage and can include visitor serving uses among other mixed-use and commercial buildings, but city representatives have broad discretion over how much development could occur at the blufftop property

The Whitney House, owned by Caltrans, was scheduled for demolition to clear the way for Linden-Casitas Interchange Project.

Nick Wigle puffs smoke at the bees in order to calm them ahead of cutting out the hive and relocating it to a Foothill Road ranch.

Beekeeper clears Whitney House for demolition

BY PETER DUGRÉ

Super Bee was called to the rescue.

The Carpinteria beehive relocation company owned by Nick Wigle cleared an estimated 40,000 bees from the historic Whitney House at the corner of Casitas Pass Road and Highway 101 on Sept. 17.

The abandoned and dilapidated home was scheduled to be demolished to clear the way for the extension of Via Real, as part of the Linden-Casitas Interchange Project.

Wigle said that representatives of the City of Carpinteria and Caltrans had contacted him to inform him of the only residents of the home, the bees. Wigle and intern Julien Soulard, a native of France, acted to rescue the bees and the demolition crew, who could have been injured if the hives were still present when they began to make rubble of the abandoned old home.

“It only takes a dozen or so stings to require medical attention,” Wigle said. “These guys would not have been happy.”

To mollify the bees, Wigle used a smoker and slow-burning horse manure.

The smoke calms the bees so they do not react to having their hive cut away from its structure. Wigle was preparing to box the bees and relocate them to Heartstone Ranch on Foothill Road.

According to City of Carpinteria Development Director Jackie Campbell, Caltrans, the current property owner, was demolishing the building to make way for the extension of Via Real from its eastern segment to Casitas Pass Road. The Linden-Casitas Exchange Project, part of which is the Via Real extension, has not gained final approval, but steps have been taken to facilitate groundbreaking, which is expected to occur in mid-2016.

He said the demolition crew on the Whitney House could have been in for a rude awakening, and potentially hospital visits, if they had started work with the hives intact. Wigle, left, is pictured with intern Julien Soulard. ley Historical Society was contacted to photograph the Whitney House and grounds ahead of its demolition, and the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District was also afforded the opportunity to conduct training exercises at the property before the old structure was to be demolished.

Avocado trees on the property have

been fenced off and an orchard manager has been employed to maintain the health of the trees before the property is eventually transferred to the City of Carpinteria as a community garden/ag education resource.

Civil-if-passionate discourse wins

When I was 23 years old and a newly minted city planner in Los Angeles, I attended a very contentious public hearing with the same issues that rocked the Carpinteria city hall Monday evening.

Building expansion versus the existing natural beauty. Pavement versus greenery. People, cars, activity versus peace, tranquility and “just leave it the way it is.”

Police were present, fire marshals roamed the room, even undercover authorities were on stand by. Shockingly one man was so distraught when he spoke, he suffered a fatal heart attack.

Yet the seven-hour meeting continued into the night, no one heard a word but the volume was deafening. It was at this point I questioned my career choice, thinking a Navy Seal may have been an easier choice!

Flash forward 40 years to the public hearing on Monday night regarding the concept review for Bluffs I. It was as expected: visceral but intelligent. It was informative and directional without unnecessary hate mongering so prevalent in our national agenda.

Decision makers heard the public, weighed the reality of private property rights, gave excellent direction to the developer and acted so professionally my buttons were bursting.

This is a big thank you to a community that remains a gem because people step up, take action and stay committed.

Councilman Brad Stein put it perfectly: when it comes to protecting our community, “we won’t go away.”

Protect it or lose it

Here are a couple of stats I love to repeat: at the outbreak of World War II, there were 6 million people in the entire state of California. Today, there are over 14 million in Los Angeles County alone.

The only undeveloped coastal land between Los Angeles and San Diego is Camp Pendleton. Thank heaven the government owns it.

Carpinteria is absolutely the last city like it on Southern California’s coast; to open it to further development on any scale would be a sacrilege.”

––Frank Torreano

the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power ’s “acquiring” water from the Owens Valley, residential development was able to get underway in Los Angeles. Through the 1930s and ’40s, the abundant water was able to sustain a vast agricultural industry in the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys. Residential development really took off throughout the 1950s. Now, with few exceptions, the entire Los Angeles basin has become an overcrowded mass, or mess, of residential and commercial development that people want out of and the hell away from.

We’ve all seen just what uncontrolled, unplanned development has done to what was once one of the most desirable places on the planet.

Our city management and the citizens of Carpinteria hold a sacred trust. Carpinteria is absolutely the last city like it on Southern California’s coast; to open it to further development on any scale would be a sacrilege. Many people, second, third and some fourth generation natives, would never forgive what further development would do to their city.

Carpinteria for years was one of Southern California’s best little weekend getaways. Over the years, with all the development that has encroached on her, she has become little more than a freeway offramp—stick your head out the door between 6 and 8 any weekday morning.

With the development that Southern California has endured since the end of World War II, further development would

be the death bell for the last city of its kind.

All who cherish Carp, certainly the way of life she affords, must stand against any further development!

Frank Torreano Carpinteria

Time for compromise?

There have been too many proposals introduced that will ruin the tranquility and uniqueness of Carpinteria. Its small charm, closeness to the beach, agricultural environment and preservation of our open space is what makes our community unique. The most recent proposal is another ill thought plan that if approved would contaminate and ruin our community.

The owners of these properties have a right to benefit from their land, and somewhere in the near future a plan has to be developed to accommodate the owners and the members of our community.

First of all my first choice would be for our citizens to buy it and leave it in its present state of beauty, however the cost is probably out of our reach.

An idea I have had for some time that will preserve the open space and the beauty of the bluffs is the development of an 18 hole golf course and a very small restaurant overlooking the bluffs. The course can be watered with recycled water. The area would be open forever and the scenery would be maintained and a golf course would enhance the beauty and preserve the nature of our community.

Just thinking.

Trump’s racism creates unacceptable norm

Many Mexican publications have said that if Donald Trump became president, the U.S. would become a nightmarish place. Millions of undocumented men, women and children would be brutally rousted out of their homes, schools and offices to be interned and deported. Massive human rights violations will become routine under President Trump. The unprecedented roundup would require every law officer in the U.S. and the military as well. A huge border wall would ensure that these exiles never return. The U.S. would be a kingdom of intolerance and xenophobia. A wall wouldn’t prevent illegal immigration since most of the undocumented just overstay their visas.

Why is Trump’s dystopian vision resonating with so many Republican voters?

Today’s America has been radicalized by a protracted economic crisis, just like Germany of Adolf Hitler. Just as Hitler scapegoated the Jews, Trump is demonizing Mexican immigrants as the cause of America’s decline. Rather than disclose the true cause of inequality, which is corporate greed, the Republican presidential hopeful gives the country an enemy to hate. The damage has been done; his vicious worldview has become mainstream Republican thought. Undocumented Mexicans are no longer human beings, but “illegal aliens.” Their U.S.-born children are called “anchor babies,” and their right to citizenship is questioned. No GOP candidate is offering a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, no matter how long they have lived and worked in the U.S. and paid taxes.

The vilification of a whole people will hurt the Republicans in the election, but in the meantime it hurts Mexicans. Millions of people of Mexican origin live in the U.S. and now every one of them is a little less secure because of “the idiocy of Trump’s followers.” This is a racist cancer that will only spread. “It is an evil we cannot ignore.”

Buttercup looks forward to helping kids pick up good reading habits at the local library starting in mid-October.

Canine reading buddies come to local library

Canine reading buddies will be at five branches of the Santa Barbara Public Library System this fall. Carpinteria Library will have Buttercup the golden retriever available for drop in visits on Saturdays from 10 to 11 a.m. starting Oct. 17. Studies show that reading with a therapy animal motivates reluctant readers and builds reading confidence. As one child said of the program, “It makes reading more fun.” Surveys about these programs reveal that 75 percent of children who attend more than three sessions want to read more frequently because of the program.

Casas de las Flores prepares to open Peoples’ Self-Help Housing will cut the ribbon on Casas de las Flores, the long-awaited, 43-unit complex at 4096 Via Real, on Oct. 15 at 11:30 a.m. The public is invited to attend the historic event marking the conversion of the blighted camper park to a clean, new complex.

After years of preparation, ground broke on the project in April 2014.

“We had no idea it would take 12 years, but turning the old camper park into Casas de las Flores became a labor of love for Peoples-Self-Help Housing and the community,” said PSHH President/CEO John Fowler. “So many people came together to find good housing for residents of the old camper park and secure funding for Casas de las Flores, and all along they knew how much it would help the low-income families and formerly homeless who will soon be calling it home.”

PSHH held a lottery drawing earlier this year as part of its resident selection process for the all-new development.

In addition to 43 beautiful apartments, Casas de las Flores includes a community building which includes the Ridley-Tree Community Kitchen, community room, offices, clinic space, and youth education and computer room. The grounds will also have a tot lot playground, half basketball court, walking paths and new laundry facilities.

Tee Time development proposal too intense, too big Continued from page 1

given its constraints of environmental sensitivity and adjacency to a coastal preserve and Venoco’s Oil and Gas Processing Plant.

Planning commissioners and councilmembers picked apart the project for myriad reasons. It is too big, impacts views too greatly, would cause even greater traffic congestion on Carpinteria Avenue, would invite sprawl by creating commercial businesses outside of the Downtown T, would add to the strain on water supplies in a drought and put residents and hotel visitors in peril by being built too closely to the oil and gas plant.

Councilman Brad Stein, who has served on the council for 25 years and has sat through many rounds of proposals to build on the bluffs, referred to the area within 300 feet of the Venoco plant as the “blast zone” and questioned why there was no buffer created at the property lines in the conceptual drawings. “This is deja vu,” he said of the developer’s plan for the site.

Referring to the resilience of community members in the audience, Stein said, “This community is very protective of what happens here. Take heed of everybody here. They don’t let go.” Stein suggested that developers take the money they would spend on permitting and environmental analysis and run.

Carpinteria Valley Water District General Manager Charles Hamilton presented on how a development might impact the water supply. He said water usage would nearly double if the property switched from its current use to residential and a hotel. Hamilton stated it was unclear whether the water district could shoulder the additional supply.

“Water agencies up and down the state are having to deal with a different planet; it’s the new climate reality,” he said.

Planning Commission Chair Jane Benefield took issue with what appeared to be an oversized concept from developers. “I’m not a fan of what I call Stockholm Syndrome- style development. You come in here with an over-the-top plan and get everyone riled up and down here, and then with a stroke of a pen or cursor you reduce it by half and we’re supposed to say, ‘thank god.’”

In his presentation, architect Brian Cearnal touted the plan as one that preserves views and provides ample open space and eco friendly attributes like gray water. The project would include a small organic farm that was pitched as a potential produce supplier for the restaurant and public through a farm stand.

Plans also included a nine-hole putting green and the space south of the railroad tracks bordering the Pacific Ocean to be left as open space.

Audience members and council people were unimpressed with the attributes of the plan characterized as community serving. The general sentiment expressed by numerous members of the public was building out the bluffs would forever alter Carpinteria’s small beach town character.

Carpinteria’s General Plan, often referred to as the city’s planning Bible, states that

Mayor Gregg Carty: “Even just one more water meter seems like a lot right now, never mind 100 water meters.”

Components:

154-room hotel and suites with restaurant, meeting room, 3 pools and gym 45 residential units (some townhomes) 40 apartments 11 live work studios 2.3 acres of farmland 1.7-acre golf putting feature 237 underground parking spaces 3.93 acres of bluffs open space bordering the seal rookery the chief priority of future planning is “…to preserve the essential character of our small beach town, its family-oriented residential neighborhoods, its unique visual and natural resources and its open, rural surroundings while enhancing recreational, cultural and economic opportunities for our citizens.”

Zelda Prune asked developers, “How much money will it take to get you to go away?” a question reminiscent of the opening salvo in the charge to purchase the 54-acre Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve, which borders the property in question, in 1998. Audience members seemed receptive to the idea of starting a fundraising campaign for the property in a similar way that the nature preserve was purchased.

Jim Taylor, Carpinteria Valley Association: “We advocate for planning that has the primary goal of benefitting the residents of the city. When this goal is aligned with the interest of land developers, everybody wins. When the balance shifts to the developers, the community will experience more negative impacts than benefits. This development exemplifies that kind of imbalance.”

Bill Murphy, resident: “Once change like this occurs, we will have lost our beautiful little town forever.”

Susan Allen, resident: “With the privilege of living here come the responsibility of protecting what we love,” and, “Open coastal space is on the endangered species list.”

Arturo Tello, Citizens for the Carpinteria Bluffs: “Reject this proposal. Reject it with prejudice saying come back when you respect the constraints of this site and we can talk at that point.”

Whitney Abbott, resident: “To me, this is a proposal looking for compromise.

It reminds me of a 15-year-old who’s getting a driver’s license and asks his parents for a BMW in hopes of getting a truck instead when in reality he should get a job. It’s an insult to our intelligence and our way of life.”

Donnie Nair, resident: “I feel sorry for architects and developers who come into this little beach town without realizing we are a committed cohesive community. You don’t stand a chance.”

Halos Pitchforks One thing leads to another

A man had his vehicle broken into on Sept. 3 on Golden Gate Avenue and unfortunately for him, the key to his other vehicle was in the burglarized vehicle.

The thief used the stolen key to gain access to the other vehicle and steal it.

Deputies had a potential lead to the car thief because the victim’s credit card was used at a Ventura gas station, but the lead had yet to produce a suspect. The man was advised to cancel his credit cards.

Nursery suspects inside robbery job

A Via Real nursery reported that it had over $8,000 in plants and chemicals stolen overnight between Sept. 3 and 4, and the thieves knew what they were doing. Nursery employees arrived to find a lock cut on the gate and discover they’d been ransacked.

In order to haul off the trees, the nursery manager said, a cargo truck would have to be specifically outfitted for the job. The chemicals were stolen from a special locked room, and the people who took them must have been in the business, surmised the nursery manager, based on what they stole. Deputies had no suspects.

Ammunition

A deputy on patrol witnessed a man park in a truck on the side of the road on 5th Street at 12:22 a.m. and remain inside the vehicle with lights on. As such, the deputy decided to strike up a conversation. He asked the man if there happened to be any weapons in the truck, and the man said matter of fact there was. He had just completed his gun safety course and there was an unloaded rifle in the back. The deputy asked if he could check the weapon, and the man obliged. The deputy found that it was loaded, a weapons violation. The deputy then asked if he could check the vehicle for other ammunition and the agreeable man again said ok. This time the deputy discovered a meth pipe and meth. The man, 23, was arrested for the meth and weapons violation.

Avon walkers pillaged

Two vehicles parked on Via Real by participants in the Avon 39 Walk for Breast Cancer were burglarized on Sept.

13. One of the vehicles contained an envelope with $5,050 cash in it as well as $950 more in cash and two laptop computers along with travel gear and jewelry, including a $2,000 engagement ring. The other vehicle similarly contained valuable clothing and travel bags including an ostrich skin purse and gold necklace.

Tools were used to break a window of each vehicle sometime between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Flame retardant

A man found to be aggressively panhandling at a Casitas Pass Road gas station on Sept. 16 was reportedly guilty of the faux pas of smoking a cigarette while holding a can full of gasoline.

Deputies approached the man, 46, after fielding complaints about his truculent panhandling tactics and found the man to be brusque and offensive. He issued a false first name to deputies but the correct last name, which allowed deputies to trace the man’s true identity through a recent run in he had had with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department.

When deputies busted the man for allegedly issuing the false name, he called them “baby killers” and asserted they’d been “brainwashed by the government.”

He was arrested for issuing a false name and admonished for carrying the gas can, without a lid, while smoking. Officers gave the gas back to the station.

Carpinteria Celebrates 50 Years

12  Thursday, September 24, 2015

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

a saunter back to the ’60s

The Carpinteria of 50 years ago this week was a divided community. The vote to become a city had pitted neighbors and friends against one another. Each side of the debate—to incorporate or not to incorporate?—clung passionately to its beliefs about what would be best for the little town. Proponents spent months arguing that Carpinteria should no longer play second fiddle to other Santa Barbara County causes, while opponents decried any move to add another layer of government to the oversight and tax-divvying that already existed.

But while politics took center stage for some, the incorporation battle was background noise for many. In an effort to paint a more colorful and detailed picture of the time, Coastal View News asked several residents what they recall fondly from the mid-1960s. Read on.

Lorenzo Martinez

Lorenzo grew up in Carpinteria and worked for George Bliss picking oranges in Tajiguas when he was a teen. Bliss would tell all the workers that if they hurried and met their quota, he would let them off early. Martinez remembers hustling to pick oranges and then rushing home to go to the beach and cool off. Later he became a mailman.

He fondly recalls summer days in the 1960s hanging out on the beach by the fishing pier with his wife. They were avid body surfers, and one day Matt Moore came by and politely asked them to teach him how to body surf. “And who would guess he would end up a big surfer with a surf shop,” said Martinez with a laugh.

Lou Panizzon

In the mid-1960s, Lou was working for Johnny Moyer at his Chevron gas station on corner of Linden and Carpinteria avenues (now Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf) while also student teaching under history teacher Alan Coates (who became Carpinteria’s first mayor), finishing college and about to enter the Army. He has fond memories of Warrior football at Memorial Stadium at the old high school because it was the only action in town on Friday. The whole community came out.

“You got to see everybody. It was a social happening,” he said.

Jon waSHinGton

“I was a young sportswriter at the L.A. Herald-Examiner in the mid-1960s, but came to Carpinteria every weekend I could. No place like home, I always used to say. My August 1965 visit was interrupted by the first L.A. Watts riots. I was a part-time clerktypist in the California National Guard. The pizza place at the foot of Vallecito Road was great. So still were the Carpinteria High Warriors. I returned home to Memorial Field whenever possible. And, of course, I always tried to be home for the Russell Cup track and field meet.”

Linda HinSon StarLin CHS Class of 1965

“Things I remember about being a high school student in the ’60s were the tomato fights we had in the middle of town, one of the upper classmen teaching four of us girls to drive at the State Beach Park roads (driving over the “trip trap bridge” over the slough) and hanging out at Fosters Freeze during lunch and after school. My sister, JoAnne Hinson, was the first Miss Carpinteria, and I remember thinking that was pretty cool.

“At the main intersection of town, there was a gas station on two corners, Mills Drug Store on one and a bank on the other. All our boyfriends worked at the gas stations so it was ‘free’ gas if no managers were on duty. Almost everyone in our class had after school jobs at the different businesses in town so it was fun always running into a friend while they were working. Being a teenager was all about driving cars, going to the beach every day during the summer, football games and dances (same as it is now I would assume).

“Can’t remember the year, ’65 or ’66? Carpinteria had a huge rainstorm that lasted for days and days. Along 192, about the area you would turn to go up Shepard Mesa, there was an empty field that had flooded and was really quite deep. Many of my friends’ parents took their boats out there

GreGG Carty CHS Class of 1972

“In the 1960s, almost every kid in Carp would go to the Tradewinds Theater on Friday or Saturday night. They would often show double features with a cartoon in between. There was always something exciting going on ... marbles being rolled down from the back rows, kids even lit trashcans on fire.

Mrs. Dickey (the proprietor) wouldn’t let you clap in the theater. She’d say, ‘They can’t hear you,’ and take you by the ear and throw you out. The theater was always full, and movies cost 25 cents.”

SiLvia eCHeverria

eMiLy MiLeS (née Brown)

CHS Class of 1969

CHS Class of 1967

Jane BianCHin CHS Class of 1942 “In 1960, I was a mom of three kids 7 years and under and beginning a career of establishing a piano studio, which continues to today. In 1962, my husband, John, became Carpinteria’s first Lions Club District Governor, which meant much travel for both of us. We visited many other clubs and also traveled to Nice, France, for his installation plus various international conventions to Miami, San Francisco and other places.

“Of interest should be that he always traveled in coat and tie and I in heels, stockings, hat and gloves. Any trip to Santa Barbara to shop included the same ‘proper’ dress. What a change from today’s casualness!

“Somewhere in the 1960s, Johnnie helped establish Carp Boosters Club and he continued as ‘Voice of the Warriors’ with the help of Barney Milne for over 25 years, plus being active in Boy Scouts in Carpinteria and as a director of Carpinteria Water District.

“I participated in Brownies, PTA and was first president of Junior Women’s Club, which no longer exists here.”

“One of my favorite things to do while in high school, which is now the middle school, was to walk down to the pier for lunch. The route was down to the end of Palm Avenue, then going left toward the Tar Pits for a block or two. I can’t quite remember the exact location but it was a wonderful fishing and walking pier.

“Another memory was riding my horse through the very tall avocado orchards to go into Carpinteria. I was always intrigued by PeeWee & Irene’s Hitching Rail Bar on Linden Avenue where many of the older generation would actually ride their horses there and tie up for a drink or more at the bar. It was adjacent to Micky’s Kitchen, a Mexican restaurant. There was a pass-through window between the two businesses for food and drink. Sometimes I would get lost in the orchards and my father taught me to use Rincon Mountain as my guide to find my way back home.

“Another memory was going to Carr ’s Department Store on Linden Avenue to

buy our starched white cotton gym clothes (all white for girls).

The tops were snap-front with matching shorts and they had to be washed and ironed each week.

“I also remember Mr. Brailey and his friends impeccably dressed in suits, and they had an old vintage large black vehicle (I can’t remember the make) that was always parked on the corner of Linden and Carpinteria Avenue (Giovanni’s parking lot). I believe they played cards and just visited every day. The car never seemed to move from that spot.”

“When dad would drive us to Ventura before 101 was installed, he would drive as close as he could to the ocean so that the splash from the waves over the small concrete wall would sometimes hit our car!

He and my mom made life so much fun for the seven of us girls.

Dad bought our property on Cramer Road in 1954 for $5,000; it had four units. When the freeway was built,it divided Cramer into two sides. We would go to Osuna’s, the corner market, and buy an ice cream or penny candy.

Then we’d walk to the end of the block and sit on the side of the freeway and wait for a car to go by. There were so few cars in those days and the freeway was not enclosed with a chain link fence, so we would just run across to the other side when we wanted to see our friends.”

“The Carp pier; everyone would meet there in the evenings. Reg Reynolds would be fishing on the end of it if it was high tide; otherwise you could walk around the end of it. The memory of making out with Terri Galloway in my ‘56 Chevy four-door coup. All the time silently watched over by what I came to call grandparents, the old eucalyptus trees that bordered the road and never passed judgment. All gone now, the way of things. Mrs. Dorothy Tripp, the best high school teacher of my time.”

Hanne PitCoCk (née PeteRSon)

Sue Thompson and Rich Medel were voted “Most Athletic” their senior year.

RiCH Medel

Class of 1965

Rich Medel has happy memories of homecoming games and the festivities that led up to them. His dad operated a trucking service for agriculture, and for homecoming each class was lent a truck to decorate and parade through town during the afternoon rally. They drove the trucks down Carpinteria and Linden avenues and stopped in the middle of the intersection where coaches talked and cheerleaders performed. Rich played football.

“The Fire Department; a lot has changed. In the mid-1960s, I received a call from Training Officer Jack Risdon with the request to come down to Station #1 for an interview; he explained that my application was one of the few that had a local address.

“After the short interview and a meeting with Fire Chief Frank Floyd, Jack asked if it would be possible for me to come in that evening and fill in on the C-Shift crew.

“So I arrived in civilian clothes, not having the time to purchase the workday uniform, and began my first night as a fireman. At 1 a.m., the ‘hot line’ rang and I had to jump onto the tailboard of old #618 and respond to a trailer fire a couple of blocks away from the station on Maple Avenue. Times have really changed.”

“In 1968 the high school on Foothill Road was completed, and I was in the class of ’68, the first class scheduled to graduate the “new school.” We had already attended that facility in our eighth-grade year, using the first completed classrooms, as they continued to work on completion of the high school. Rather than being excited, we had wanted to be the last class to graduate from the ‘old high school.’ We were giving up a wonderful Senior Quad, a campus in town and beautiful green trees. What we were going to was a pretty barren landscape with no home football field. We continued to use the now middle school as our game field. However, as the year went on, we did find our Senior Quad, we did make new memories and rituals and by graduation, that school had become our stomping grounds and a loved campus. The humor in this story is that after all these years, when we refer to the high school, we still call it the ‘new’ high school.”

CHS class of 1967

“In the early 1960s I would ride my bike down to the Atkinson’s Pier to go fishing. It was an abandoned pier with No Trespassing signs on it, but all the fisherman in town loved to fish from this pier. It was in close proximity to the current oil pier. I don’t think many parents today would let their kids hang out on that pier unsupervised.

I was 11 in 1960.

“In the mid-1960s it was another pier in the State Park where we would go fishing, diving and surfing.

It was a hangout for kids and was located just east of Carpinteria Creek. When I first started driving, this area was not included in the state park so you could turn left as one drove towards the beach on Palm Ave. and park for free in an area near the pier. The pier provided a natural place for the sand to build up so the waves had a nice shape to them during the spring and summer until the larger winter swells would wash away the sand.

“The pier was removed in 1966, and it was a sad time for the people of Carp. By the time it was removed, that area was part of the State Park and there was a fee to park your car.

I will always remember walking out on the pier and looking into the clear water below it.

You would see corbina in the shallows looking for sand crabs. It seems like the water was much clearer in the old days.”

Ron Hurd

Ron HuRd

CHS class of 1966 “All the kids I knew spent a lot of time at the beach.

There were two piers (Atkinson and State Park) in those days, and I spent a lot of time fishing and not catching a thing.

G r u n i o n ru n s and bonfires at the beach ended the day. We had a great time.”

GReGG SkInneR

JiM RoCkwell Class of 1968

Jim’s most striking memories of the mid-1960s revolve around being part of the first class to graduate from the Foothill Road campus of Carpinteria High School. The brand new school opened in the fall of 1967 under the leadership of Principal Martin Koobation. Jim’s class had completed three years at the Carpinteria Avenue high school, which is now Carpinteria Middle School.

“It was such a big change,” Jim remembered. “It was out there in the boonies. There really wasn’t much around.” He also remembers the strict dress code of the day: girls had to wear skirts or dresses, and boys’ hair could not fall below their ears.

Jeff Boyd

CHS class of 1967 “The people who ran the State Park in the 1960s had a somewhat contentious relationship with the local surfers (imagine that!). When the park was created, it inherited the old fishing pier.

By 1965 the park rangers were sick of dealing with the pier (and the riff raff it attracted) located just

In the early to mid-1960s, a pier by the mouth of Carpinteria Creek was a popular spot for fishing, surfing and other play.

east of Carp Creek and proposed tearing it down. This was their solution to what they claimed was a dilapidated and dangerous eyesore. The pier had been there for decades and we surfers and most of Carp loved the pier because we all recreated there and who could imagine Carp without the pier.

“Well, as I recall, the rangers tired of the back and forth with the local citizens over what they considered their pier, and one day in 1966, Carpinteria awoke to a smoldering collection of pilings where the pier had stood. Yes, without warning, the park rangers had literally burned our pier down, end of discussion.”

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

Then and now

Fifty years is ample opportunity for change in a small town. Businesses come; trends shift; businesses go. Population grows, and cities spread. Carpinteria, a quaint town of 6,651 when it incorporated in 1965, has matured and evolved into a quaint city of 13,671. City decision-makers, placed in power by concerned residents, have worked diligently to balance a viable economy and small-town charm. As

such, Carpinteria has avoided the major population booms and sprawl that have erased the personality of so many Southern California cities. Photos included in the 1965 and 1966 Carpinteria High School yearbooks gave Coastal View News great fodder for a then and now comparison.

Demolished decades ago to make way for a parking lot, Mills Drugs was a favorite stop for candy and ice cream in the 1960s.

The 76 station on the corner of Maple and Carpinteria avenues is now a newer version of the 1965 station.

Ralph Brown Realty at 5285 Carpinteria Ave. now serves as the Ohana Fun Company.

Moffett Ford at 5292 Carpinteria Ave. is now a City Market and other businesses.

The building t ha t held Carpinteria Realty Company and Insurance Agency now holds Rabobank, Epsteen and Associates and other businesses.

Dick Dailey Chevrolet at 900 Linden Ave. is now the home of Corktree Cellars and Robitailles Candy.

Remodeled to include indoor seating, the Fosters Freeze at 5025 Carpinteria Av e . i s s t i l l going strong.

After a brief stint as Tony’s Pizza in the 1960s, the building at 686 Linden Ave. changed signs several times before becoming Sly’s restaurant in 2008.

Class of 1965 reunites

The Class of 1965 shares a significant milestone with the City of Carpinteria.

While the city has been gearing up for its 50th anniversary festivities, the class of 1965 coordinated and completed a weekend celebration that included 40 of its original 119 members. The reunion started off Friday, Sept. 4 at Rincon Brewery for a meet and greet after which attendees went to the Carpinteria High School football game. On Saturday, a reunion evening of dinner and dancing was held at Lions Park. The group finished off the weekend with brunch at Padaro Beach Grill on Sunday.

Lescher Dowling, 92, who was the Carpinteria High School printing and photography teacher for many of the alumni, also attended the event. He and his wife both attended the school; Lescher graduated in 1943. The reunion committee was made up of Kathy Mason Stark, Sue Puentes Gemeinhardt and Rich Medel.

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

Carpinteria’s Jubilee and Avofest preview music beat Story and photos by MARK BRICKLEY “You only turn 50 once!” California Avocado Festival Operations/Entertainment Director Mike Lazaro laughed. He was referring to Carpinteria’s 50th Anniversary. “Why not start the (Avocado Festival) a day early and celebrate the city’s birthday?” Lazaro suggested.

On Thursday, Oct. 1, Carpinteria’s Jubilee Event will kick off the annual California Avocado Festival. It will roll through the weekend, Friday to Sunday, Oct 2 to 4, with four stages of live music, curated concessions, children’s events and rows of merchant tents. The centerpiece of the city’s celebration will be a large Ferris Wheel at the corner of Linden Avenue and 8th Street. It will be up all weekend offering rides for $2.

The official ceremonies will begin Thursday at 5 p.m. at Linden’s Seal Fountain with emcee Peter Bie introducing dignitaries. Then the birthday bash shifts across the street to the Carpinteria Arts Center for an anniversary cake cutting.

Live music will follow on both the Main and Seal stages.

A jubilee dinner will take place Thursday evening at 6 p.m. in the tented Grotto Stage. It’s a $65 event featuring entertainment from Ernie and The Emperors and headline act The Bob Cowsills Band. The Partridge Family television show was modeled after The Cowsills group, which included mom Barbara and six siblings from 8 to 19 years of age. The Cowsills 1960s gold records included “The Rain, The Park and Other Things,” “Hair” and “Indian Lake.” Bob Cowsills will sing the band’s hit singles.

The Grotto Stage will open to the public at 8:30 p.m. with entertainment from Carpinteria faves The Rincons.

They have been playing together for 10 years and are one of the tri-counties’ busiest bands. In recognition of the city’s 50th birthday, The Rincons will perform hits from 1965. Bassist Roger Gilbert says they’ll play 1965 Song of the Year “Woolly Bully” by Sam The Sham and both “Help” and “Ticket To Ride” by The Beatles. They’re also learning “Give Me Some Lovin” by the Spencer Davis Band and The Byrds’ “Mr. Tambourine Man.” It was Gilbert who suggested bringing Ernie and The Emperors to the jubilee celebration. “In 1965 The Emperors were winning all the Battle of the Bands. They had a No.1 record and they played all the dances in Carpinteria. I told Mike Lazaro they would be a perfect fit,” Gilbert said.

Emperor’s guitarist/vocalist Ernie Orozco remembered the excitement of their big single. “In November 1965 ‘Meet Me At The Corner’ was the No.1 record on Santa Barbara’s KIST-1340 AM and a ‘Pick To Click’ selection in Billboard and Cashbox magazines. Our label Reprise Records had signed British band The Kinks and wanted us to tour with them,” Orozco said. “My brothers and I were still in high school. I was a senior and Cory and Brian were in 10th and 11th grade. Our parents wanted us to graduate rather than go on the road. They wouldn’t sign the tour booking release.” Since their heyday, The Emperors have continued to play locally and recently recorded a new album, “Good Times.”

Dos Hermanas draw adult coloring books

Coloring books for adults unleash the inner artist and child within, according to erica “erie” Ramirez and Renata “Rain” Felix, creators of coloring book “Color mi Vida: Journey.” the sisters, publishing under dos hermanas publishing, have hand drawn intricate patterns of natural scenes and surfer girls that can inspire adults or provide a challenge to youth artists. “We’ve always known that we’ve wanted to be artists. Coloring books allow us to share our art with many people,” Felix said. both are recent mothers who have used their time at home with new children to be inspired and harness their art into the new business endeavor. they have struck in the middle of a favorable trend toward adult coloring books. “(Adult coloring books) are international. they’re catching on everywhere,” Ramirez said. they said the appeal is simple. everyone is always go-go-go, and the books provide a necessary respite and outlet for the inner artist.

Coloring parties are becoming popular where adults can gather and color the same pages with colored pencil, crayon or watercolor paints (not too wet) and find that they come up with completely different final products from the same pages. the sisters have seen the books used as art therapy for the elderly—their 92-year-old grandma—or people with handicaps. Look for another title this November. the books can be purchased locally at ohana Fun Company, 5285 Carpinteria Ave., amazon.com, etsy and coming soon to a revamped art section at Pacific Health Foods, 944 Linden Ave. For more information, visit colormivida.com.

Cate quarterback Michael Nettesheim lofts a pass in a successful offensive display against Coast Union for the 2-0 Rams football squad.

Next week: CHS Girls Volleyball Fall Classic Tournament

September 24 - 30, 2015

Cate School senior Dean Smith scored the first touchdown of the night on a 49-yard run up the middle and Cate never slowed down en route to a 55-13 win at Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium.

Cate displays high octane under lights 55-13 romp over Coast Union has Rams out to 2-0 start

BY ALONZO OROZCO

Jumping to a 48-0 lead by halftime, the Cate School 8-man football team made itself at home in a game played at Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium on Sept. 18 en route to a 55-13 win over Coast Union of Cambria. “I was happy with the first team both offense and defense; we made a lot of switches when we got up (big),” said Cate coach Ben Soto. As a result, every player on the sidelines saw some action for the Rams who moved to 2-0 on the season, while the Broncos fell to 0-3.

Coast Union began the game by attempting to test the Cate secondary with quarterback Alexis Mireles connecting with tight end Warren Smith for a 15-yard gain and a first down at its own 30. But the Ram defense quickly locked down on the Bronco receivers, forcing a punt on the next set of downs.

Outside linebacker Clinton Hall, cornerback Dean Smith and free safety Isaiah Washington all played key roles in blanketing the Coast Union wide outs. “You

usually get one really good one (coverage player) and two that are average, but all three of them are good athletes,” explained Soto of his trio of defensive stalwarts.

They would also play a huge part on the other side of the ball that evening. Smith would put Cate on the board first when he darted through the middle for a 49-yard touchdown run making it 7-0 with just over three minutes gone in the game. Smith would later tally a second TD run for a total of two for the game.

Washington would also run for two TDs, one on an 8-yard run in the second quarter. When seemingly stopped in the backfield, he broke a tackle and then cruised into the end zone for a 28-0 lead at the 11:45 mark. And Hall would break through for a 21-yard TD on a quarterback keeper to make it 42-0 just about a minute and a half later.

Running through huge splits created by some stellar offensive line play, Cate pretty much had its way with the ground game. Pierce Lundt added two more

Warriors can’t contain Oak Park ground game

The road wasn’t any kinder to the Carpinteria High School football team on Sept. 18 as the Warriors fell to Oak Park 39-7 after two home defeats. The loss puts Carpinteria at 0-3 to start the season. The Eagles compiled 321 yards on the ground, and 477 yards in total offense to move to 4-0 on the season, winning their home opener.

Oak Park quickly built a 13-0 lead in the first quarter on touchdown runs of 25 and 38 yards. The Warriors fought back on a brilliant kickoff return by Oscar Garcia of 92 yards for what turned out to be the only Carpinteria score of the game to make it a 13-7 at the end of the quarter. Garcia exploded through the seam on a well-executed wall set up by special teams.

The Eagles countered on a 62-yard pass play from David Schmucker to Jordan Vega and took a 20-7 lead into the locker room at halftime. Schmucker was 12of-18 for 167 yards through the air with two touchdowns and also ran for 137 yards and a pair of scores on the evening.

Oak Park added three more touchdowns in the second half, never looking back. Warrior quarterback Mike Garibay was 4-of-9, throwing for 41 yards. Rudy Beltran had 10 carries for 41 yards, while Aaron Vargas had two catches for 25 yards to lead Carpinteria. The Warriors tallied 118 total yards for the game.

Carpinteria travels to South Torrance High School on Friday, Sept. 25 for another road game, kickoff at 7:30 p.m.

TDs with runs of 49 and 5 yards, while Ryder Dunning scored the Rams final touchdown on a 28-yard jaunt to make it 55-0 early in the third quarter.

The Broncos would have some success running the football themselves with running backs Alam Ramirez and Danny Corona carrying the load, but couldn’t find the end zone until Corona ran around left end for a 14-yard TD with 11:17 left in the game. Corona would later add another touchdown.

In addition to Hall, Michael Nettesheim and Patrick Armstrong also saw considerable playing time at quarterback for Cate. Although he was unable to connect with his receivers on a couple of long throws, Nettesheim was particularly sharp on his mid range passes, which helped set up a pair of Ram scores.

“It’s great to have Mike Nettesheim back, he adds an element, another thing that the defense has to worry about,” said Soto.

Cate hosts Chadwick on Saturday, Sept. 26, kickoff at 3 p.m. back up on the Mesa.

Warrior golfer Juliet Parsons shot a 67 to help the team out to a win in the home opener over Fillmore High School.

Carpinteria High School

Sept. 15 -The Carpinteria High School girls golf team shook off the rust and started another season on a blustery day at Montecito Country Club by beating Fillmore 318 to 366. Led by last year’s two 2nd Team All-League players, Yarely Aviles and Elizabeth Esquivel, each with scores of 59, the Warriors start the season at 1-0. Mikayla Blair also shot a 63 for Carpinteria. “It was a very commanding victory that gives promise to the season,” said Carpinteria coach Steve Benzin.

Girls tennis

Sept. 16 - The Carpinteria High School girls tennis team lost to San Marcos in a non-league match, 15-3. All of the Warriors singles players, Kathryn Blair, Madison Cleek and Alondra Costilla, each won a set. “We kind of took a step back today in our progress as we just had a hard time gaining any type of momentum in many of our sets,” said Carpinteria coach Charles Bryant.

Sept. 17 - The Carpinteria High School girls tennis team defeated Oxnard in a non-league match, 16-2, earning the Warriors their first win of the season. In doubles, Carpinteria’s #1 team Daryanna Lancet/Jessica Lord won its first two sets, and then Lord teamed up with Hali Schwasnick to complete her doubles sweep. The #2 team of Athena Cuellar/Maria Zamora also swept its opponents, dropping just three games on the day. In singles, #2 Madison Cleek and #3 Alondra Costilla ended up sweeping their three sets as well, and Kathryn Blair won her only two sets. “A great win for our spirits as we were starting to drop our heads a bit,” said Carpinteria coach Charles Bryant, whose Warriors improved to 1-5 overall.

Sept.18 - The Carpinteria High School girls tennis team defeated Villanova Prep in a non-league match, 10-8. In singles, the Warriors #1 Kathryn Blair led the way with two set wins; her only loss was a tight tiebreak. #2 Madison Cleek and #3 Alondra Costilla picked up one set each. In doubles, #2 Athena Cuellar and Maria Zamora swept their three sets and had a great comeback win after being down 5-1. “Our roller coaster continues; I thought we played very well yesterday but we seemed to come out slow today, and had a tight battle the rest of the way,” said Carpinteria coach Charles Bryant.

Sept. 21 - The Carpinteria High School girls tennis team defeated Bishop Diego in a non-league girls tennis match, 14-4. In singles, #2 Madison Cleek swept her three

Warriors Monique Sanchez and Gabby Rigonati guard the net in a 3-1 victory over rival Bishop Diego High School.

Girls volleyball

Sept. 15 -The Carpinteria High School girls volleyball Warriors battled Bishop Diego in an exciting volleyball match, defeating the Cardinals 3-1 (25-23, 22-25, 2523, 29-27). The team was led by Miranda Marquez with a record high 23 kills and 12 digs. Middle blocker Gabby Rigonati added eight kills and five blocks. Opposite Monique Sanchez had nine kills, three blocks and 14 digs. Captain and setter Katie McGee had 28 assists and eight digs. Carpinteria will face-off versus Thacher at home at Warrior Gym on Sept. 22.

Boys water polo

Sept. 18 and 19 – Warrior boys water polo battled in the Los Altos Tournament and won 4-of-5 matches. On Friday, the team lost its first tilt against Glendora High School 14-8, despite tallying 42 shots on goal and 14 steals. The team later played Chino High School and won 16-9, a defensive effort, according to coach Matthew Organista.

On Saturday, the team pulled out a sudden death thriller against fifth-ranked Whittier High School. The teams were notched at 12-12 at the end of regulation. Forrest Van Stein’s sixth goal of the match was the decisive one. The team was perfect in scoring on its 6-on-5 advantages and also shut down Whittier on all of its 6-on-5 advantages.

The Warriors then bested Chadwick 16-15. Last year in the same tournament, the Warriors nearly came back to beat Chadwick but fell short. This time the teams played even, quality water polo throughout, according to Organista. Wyatt Stevenson was on fire with five goals, and Eric Thornbourgh nabbed seven steals.

In the final tournament game for the Warriors, the team eked out another one-point win, 9-8 over Wilson. The Warriors jumped out to a 5-2 first-half lead and almost let it slip away, barely hanging on in the fifth match of the two-day tourney.

Cate School

Sept. 17 – The Cate School girls tennis team played Rio Mesa up on Cate Mesa and came away with an 11-7 win. In the first round, Julia Gan of Cate knocked off Rio Mesa’s #1 Dominique Derse who is currently ranked #80 in California and #556 in the nation. The rest of the Rams rallied around the big win to take five of the first six sets.

The second and third rounds were each split 3-3, with Cate’s #1 and #2 doubles teams towing the line winning four of those sets. Rio Mesa is currently ranked #3 in CIF’s Division 3 at 4-2, while the Rams move to 2-0 on the season.

Cross Country

Sept. 19 - The Cate School Cross Country team, boys and girls teams combined, convincingly defeated Viewpoint 88-113 in the 6th Annual Musser Challenge on Cate’s course. In this unique format, the girls start three minutes and 20 seconds before the boys, and then the top 10 runners for each team (regardless of gender) score. Viewpoint’s James Smathers won the race in 20:43 (adjusted to 17:23), closely followed by Ram sophomore Kyril Van Schendel in 20:50 (adjusted to 17:30). Cate’s top two girl runners, senior Charlotte Monke and sophomore Isabela Montes de Oca, were very close to the boys, finishing in 3rd and 4th with times of 20:57 and 21:16 respectively.

Van Schendel’s adjusted time ranks him 10th all-time on Cate’s 3-mile course; while Montes de Oca’s fast time elevates her to 12th all-time for Ram girls.

The secret source of “garden failure” garden gossip CHRIS & LISA CULLEN I can’t count the number of times I have heard, “I have areas of my garden where nothing seems to grow,” or variations of that same story. One often wonders how this could be. Sometimes you pick the perfect plants and even the perfect soil amendments and still “nothing seems to grow” or if it does, it’s stunted or just doesn’t flourish. One can even begin to think, “I just don’t have a green thumb,” or come up with some other creative reason why you don’t have the beautiful garden you envisioned.

Soil permeability and “hardpan”

Because of the past four years of drought, most of our soil is dry and compacted. Unless you have been keeping up with mulching, it is likely that your soil won’t be able to absorb the moisture it needs so badly. Here’s a test: Take a shovel and try to dig a nice, big hole in your garden. If you have a hard time penetrating the soil, you have what is called “hardpan.” Hardpan is the result of destruction of topsoil from raking, blowing and lack of mulch. It is compacted soil that cannot be penetrated by the roots of shrubs and trees and is the major source of garden failure.

Solving the problem of hardpan and soil permeability is the real secret behind a beautiful, healthy garden. Here are steps to take to test for compaction and then correct the problem.

Soil compaction and plant growth

Soil compaction prevents plants’ roots from penetrating the earth and thus is the cause of stunted growth and general reduced plant vigor. Roots need not only water, but they need oxygen. So living, healthy soil is the key to healthy plants and a beautiful garden. Fertilizers spread on dead, compacted soil does nothing for the plants. In fact, it just causes further stress. The solution is to bring life back to your soil.

Rich, living soil is the key to a successful garden. If the drought has taken a toll on your garden, read on for ways to replace hardpan with healthy soil.

DIY soil percolation test

First, dig a hole 12 inches across and 12 inches deep. Fill it with water and allow it to sit overnight. In fact, because of the intensity of our drought, you may need to do this twice. We want to achieve saturation. Then, fill the hole with water again and insert a ruler and check every hour to see how long it takes for the water to drain.

The ideal soil drainage is about 2 inches per hour. If your drainage rate is higher or lower, then action is needed.

Too fast and plants will dry out and too slow and they may suffer from “wet feet.”

Living soil: The secret to a beautiful garden

I hate to say this, but the creation of living soil is a long-term project; it doesn’t happen overnight. The first step is compost, compost tea and a deep layer of mulch. Living soil will absorb moisture and reduce runoff and requires 50 percent less water.

Spread a thin layer of compost around every plant then water it well and for a super-charge, use compost tea as a soil drench. Then cover deeply with mulch.

Mulch can consist of anything from tree chippings to ground up “green waste.”

Mulch is free from the Santa Barbara County and Marborg. Pick it up or call and have it delivered for a nominal fee.

For more info call Marborg at 963-1852 or South Coast Recycling and Transfer Station at 681-4335.

Living compost and compost tea

Compost is a living thing; it is not mulch. It is a magic elixir full of microorganisms that bring soil to life. Find a source for the real thing or make it yourself. My favorite is Sacred Cow Biodynamic Compost available at Eye of the Day Garden Design Center or Island Seed and Feed or by calling Patty Pagaling at 646-4294. All Around Landscape Supply in Carpinteria makes compost tea, and with advance notice will make it especially for you. Call them to arrange pick up or deliver, 684-3115.

Fixing your soil permeability an important step to prepare for the rain everyone is predicting. Next month Garden Gossip will start getting you ready for El Niño!

Until next month, fill your garden with joy (and compost).

Summerland School hosts storyteller

storyteller michael Katz recently visited summerland school for a three-day residency of storytelling and instruction. Katz performed stories to the fourth and fifth grade classroom and instructed in the dramatic art of storytelling and how to capture the attention of and entertain an audience. each student had the opportunity to share a story assigned by Katz or act out that story as Katz told it. “the students were captivated by these activities and very supportive of the emotional risks of their classmates,” commented principal holly minear. “this residency ties directly in to the narrative writing unit our fourth grade students are studying.”

A fine line

I’ll never forget the time I was kayaking out to the oil platforms just off the beach in Carpinteria. I was with two or three others, taking photos of California sea lions hauled out on the mooring can CHUCK just northwest of an oil platform.

GRAHAM The northwest winds came up, and I was fairly new to the art of photographing from my kayak. I got crossed up by a wind wave and capsized. I don’t mind getting wet but that camera and lens are still sitting at the bottom of the ocean.

I was devastated but learned from the experience.

There have been plenty of close calls since then, but I have experience on my side now (and definitely some luck, good fortune maybe?) and it’s saved my gear on more than one occasion.

Two of my most recent escapes from disaster are ocean based. I don’t know what I’d do without those dry bags.

unpredictable wilderness

rock garden just off the Navarro Rivermouth. The Mendocino Coast is a paddler’s paradise honeycombed with sea grottos and arches and heaps of intimidating sea stacks and spires.

I tried photographing from my kayak, but it wasn’t working out. I needed to wait for a swell to paddle on top of one of the rock outcroppings. I timed a swell and paddled on top of a barnacle-covered slab. I had Walsh paddle around me and through a craggy rock arch, but there was some swell in the water.

I noticed a swell approaching, but initially it didn’t appear to be anything to worry about. Wrong! As the swell drew closer it was too late. I tried to cover my Canon EOS 3 and the 15mm lens attached to it with my upper body, but I was completely engulfed. On the outside my camera looked soaked but it kept firing, the shutter sounding as good as ever.

Graham catches a calm moment just before disaster.

Potato Harbor hazards

Graham repeatedly takes the risk of water shots with a camera that eschews moisture.

To lead a certain kayaking trip at the Channel Islands National Park, the guides had to paddle from Prisoners Harbor on Santa Cruz Island to Scorpion Anchorage, then cross the Anacapa Passage to Anacapa Island. From there it was an 11-mile channel crossing to Oxnard.

Along the way we stopped at Potato Harbor. I was out in front and the northwest winds had cropped up like they normally do in the spring. I noticed some black oyster catchers, California brown pelicans, western gulls and various cormorants roosting on a giant rock outcropping.

I crept in close in my kayak, but the wind waves were slapping the rock and resonating back out to the next wave and making things very choppy. A wave broached my port side and I fell out of my kayak. I had my camera out, but I was able to hold it out of the water. It was a neat trick getting my camera back into the dry bag, but I managed.

Party

My trip to Alaska last June was arguably the greatest challenge I’ve had keeping camera gear dry. Besides shooting from a closed-deck kayak, it rained every day, all day except one.

There was so much moisture in the air that I never felt dry. I was constantly wiping down cameras and lenses, but it always seemed like they were holding moisture, even inside my tent or the cook tent.

All was forgotten though when a least sandpiper would skip across the cold, dark cobble, a harbor seal balancing on the teetering icepack, or vibrant Nootka lupine standing tall like a candle.

It feels like a struggle sometimes while attempting to get those shots, but when I get the film back and lay it across my light box it’s all worth it and I can’t wait to get back out there again.

Dear Carpinterians, Congratulations on 50 years of Cityhood! Incorporation of the City of Carpinteria on September 28, 1965, was the culmination of years of work by members of the community committed to bringing the opportunity for local self-government to the people of Carpinteria.

It was also just the beginning. Citizens and civic leaders have continued to work hard over the decades, learning and striving to make Carpinteria a great place to live, work, and play.

Carpinterians have reason to be proud of their City. The City delivers high quality local government services and includes among its many current services law enforcement and land use planning & development permitting, which were a part of the foundation of its incorporation. The City has been recognized in national publications for its public safety and the quality and character of its private and public improvements. It is a participant in important local and regional public agency collaborations that address a variety of needs including transportation and housing.

However, meeting service needs and expectations is only a part of the story. Over its 50 years in existence the City has served as facilitator to assist the community in identifying a vision for its future and to develop plans for achieving that vision. It has convened the community to tackle important issues affecting our

Gregg A. Carty, Mayor Al Clark, Councilmember Brad Stein, Councilmember

health, the environment, and the character of our neighborhoods.

Fifty years later, residents remain engaged in their community and City government has been able to serve as an effective forum for making sometimes difficult choices and resolving complex issues.

This community problem solving has contributed to great successes such as the preservation and enhancement of the Downtown and the establishment of a world class system of parks, trails, and open spaces, including the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve and Salt Marsh Park.

The week ahead will include events and activities that culminate a year of celebrating the City’s Golden Jubilee and which are listed on the last page of this insert. As is typical of Carpinteria, this 50th Anniversary celebration has been a community effort. We thank all the people and organizations that have made the celebration of this community milestone very special.

So, once again, congratulations Carpinterians! Due in no small part due to your support, Carpinteria is a safe, healthy and livable City with a distinct sense of place and, working together, we can keep it that way for the next 50 years.
