Hard-nosed defense

Carpinteria’s boys basketball team is in second place with a 5-1 record in the Citrus Coast League, and the Warriors won two out of three games last week due to Coach Jackson Hall’s signature brand of efficient offense and tenacious defensive pressure.

Junior Sawyer Kelly, pictured, has been a nightmare for opposing players this season. Read more about this week in Carpinteria sports on pages 21-23.

Housing Element approval on upcoming city council agenda

The city of Carpinteria’s Housing Element – a document that determines and outlines the city’s housing needs – will be on the council’s Monday, Jan. 22 agenda for consideration and approval. The Housing Element covers the city’s 2023-2031 housing goals.

It was originally adopted by the council on April 10, 2023, but the state of California’s Department of Housing and Community Development found it needed revisions. A revised version was sent to the state in November, which was returned ready for re-adoption, spokesperson Mindy Fogg said on Tuesday.

The city council’s meeting is held at Carpinteria City Hall, 5775 Carpinteria Ave. The meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Data security incident at Carpinteria’s InHealth Technologies

KARLSSON FILE PHOTO

Stephanie Ramirez Garcia accepts the 2022 Jr. Carpinterian of the Year Award during the April 2023 gala.

The Carpinteria-located InHealth Technologies – located at 1110 Mark Ave. – announced last week that the personal and health information of some of its customers may have been exposed during a data security event.

The company, which manufactures and supplies voice restoration systems, said in a press release that it became aware on Nov. 13 that an “unauthorized personnel accessed and attempted to disable certain InHealth systems.”

The company also discovered that some files have been “encrypted by an unauthorized party and determined information pertaining to certain individuals may have been exposed”; this information could include individuals’ names, dates of birth, demographic information social security numbers, prescription information and billing/health insurance information.

“At this time, there is no evidence of any attempt to misuse personal or protected health information of InHealth customers. InHealth is committed to taking the necessary precautions to ensure its customers have access to available resources that can protect them against potential misuse of their information,” the organization said in a press release.

The company mailed notice to all those who have been potentially impacted and directed those people on how to enroll in complimentary identity theft protection services, according to the company’s press release. Those who believe they may have been impacted can call InHealth at 1-888-903-5490 or email Info-InHealth@inhealth.com.

Submissions open for Carpinterian, Jr. Carpinterian of the Year applications

Submissions are now open for the Carpinterian of the Year, Jr. Carpinterian of the Year and merit awards; COY and Jr. COY applications are due by Feb. 23, 2023, while merit award submissions must be submitted by March 15, 2024.

The banquet is scheduled for Saturday, April 6, at Girls Inc. of Carpinteria’s 5315 Foothill Road campus; this year, it is being organized by the Carpinteria Community Association, a nonprofit that launched late last year.

“Thanks to the generous donation from the Lion’s Club Festival of Trees, CCA has moved forward on the plans for the 65th Annual Community Awards Banquet,” spokesperson Karen Graf told CVN. The banquet was started in 1958, then known as Man of the Year, before it became the Carpinterian of the Year Banquet in the early 1970s. The South Coast Chamber of Commerce has organized the banquet for the last two years, after the Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce merged in 2020.

NATURAL HISTORY NOTES

Harbor seals need to rest on land about 50% of the time. The seals often follow the tide, staying relatively close to the water. However, when days go by with few or no major disturbances they will tend to stay higher onshore as the tide goes out.

VISITORS

The count was 1,319, with observers recorded from Australia, Thailand, Mexico, China, Vietnam, Brazil, Japan, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Texas, Colorado, Montana, Washington, New York, Wisconsin, Arizona, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, Utah, Nevada, Illinois, Georgia and Missouri.

DISTURBANCES

Some or all seals were flushed to the sea four times by beach walkers, including an incident when two men trespassed on the pier and dived off. Chevron was notified. Noisy visitors at the overlook caused two more disturbances.

Please consider honoring the Marine Mammal Protection Act and not walking the seal sanctuary beach all year. Do not bring dogs, bicycles or loud voices to view the seals. Harbor seals, when disturbed, may flee and become separated from their pups. Volunteers ask that dogs always remain outside the rope area.

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

Hicks – Jones

Vivian Hicks and Steven Jones, both of Carpinteria, have announced their engagement to be married. Hicks’ parents are Charles and Doris Jerep of Carpinteria; Jones’ are Judith Jones and the late Bernard Jones.

District discusses installing solar panels at CHS

BY JUN STARKEY On Tuesday, Jan. 9, the Carpinteria Unified School District Board of Trustees heard a report from the Clean Coalition’s Executive Director Craig Lewis on potential plans to install a solar microgrid at Carpinteria High School (CHS).

The Clean Coalition is a local group dedicated to accelerating the transition to renewable energy, and the group recently assisted the Santa Barbara Unified School District in installing solar microgrids – a microgrid that relies solely on energy harnessed from solar energy, such as solar panels – across the district.

Lewis said CHS would work as a great starting point for a solar microgrid, given the size of the parking lot and its proximity to the Carpinteria Substation, as well as a battery project called the Vallecito Energy Storage Resilience project (VESR), which the Clean Coalition helped facilitate.

“I have been salivating over getting solar (panels) at Carpinteria High School,” Lewis said Tuesday.

The main recommendation from the Clean Coalition to begin this project, Lewis said, is to order a feasibility study for CHS. The study – which looks at load profiles, resource scenarios, the layout of the site and the economic impact of a project – would be conducted by the Clean Coalition and paid for by a third party, at no cost to the district. A feasibility study for a space the size of CHS would typically cost $15,000, Lewis said.

The findings from this report will be presented to the board during its Feb. 13 meeting. Solar microgrids could potentially be expanded to other locations in CUSD, Lewis said, but CHS makes a

Board reviews two-year food services plan

Carpinteria Unified School District (CUSD) Child Nutrition and Wellness Coordinator Michelle Hernandez also presented to the board on Tuesday, reviewing the Food Services Plan for the district; the plan included a brief summary of previous years and a two-year summary of future plans.

During the pandemic, Hernandez said, the food services department worked to provide meals and fresh food to as many families and children in Carpinteria as they could. The department provided packaged to-go meals for hundreds of students, and staff members hung fliers around Carpinteria, including throughout neighborhoods and apartment complexes, to ensure they were serving as many children as possible. Food services worked with the Foodbank of Santa Barbara and the Berry Man to deliver food

and meals to community members.

Food services also provided meals during community events, Hernandez said. During the summer, food services provided lunch to over 150 participants and family members at the annual Summer Cheer Camp, and lunch for all schools during the district beach day.

City needs to enforce noise ordinances

There appears to be a lot of controversy surrounding the issue of excessive noise at Island Brewing Company (IBC). I have had several interactions on social media with individuals who have been nothing less than nasty, suggesting I am no fun, I shouldn’t have moved to a place where I would be near the establishment, I should move to a retirement home or that I should use earphones and/or a noise canceling machine of some sort so they could enjoy the music.

I can appreciate that there is a difference of opinion. However, I feel the issue needs to be addressed because several other establishments are coming in and conformity and a clear understanding of what is permissible are important. I am sure I’m not the only one who does not wish to have another Santa Barbara situation with excessive bars and entertainment venues.

I have lived in the beach area for over 30 years. The warehouse where IBC has its business is just that: a warehouse. Until the Covid-19 epidemic, we didn’t appear to have a problem. Rules were relaxed, and music and parklets were added to help businesses survive. Many now want relaxed rules permanently. We do not need new ordinances – just adherence to the ones we have. The parklets are unsightly and need to be gone so that we can have our parking back. One of the most beautiful views has always been looking down Carpinteria Avenue all the way to the ocean. Now all you see are makeshift structures, concrete road barriers, etc.

I don’t expect total silence, but I do expect my city government to adhere to the ordinance that is in effect now, and not relax it further. I am confident we can recognize the effect it has on the community.

Rosa Markolf Carpinteria

Make your voice heard

An important Architectural Review Board (ARB) meeting is going to be held on Thursday, Jan. 25 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall. The ARB will be reviewing the Carpinteria Farm Preserve and Bungalows Project. This is the proposed development on the bluffs where Tee Time is located.

The story poles have been erected and it is worth your time to check them out to see what is being proposed. The story poles represent a 41-unit apartment complex, a 99- room resort, swimming pools, restaurant, event building, spa, gym, farm and subterranean parking garage. If you have something to say about this project, please attend the meeting and voice your opinions.

Do you think the scale of the project is too big? Are you concerned that this project is not compatible with the smalltown character of Carpinteria? Are you concerned that views will be impacted?

Do you think this project conforms to Carpinteria’s General Plan regarding preserving open space? Are you concerned CARPINTERIA

Stench ruins Carpinteria charm

We feel tricked into Carpinteria as “a great place to live.” At 5 p.m. nightly we shut doors and windows until 9 a.m. when most of the revolting pot-growing smell dissipates enough.

We blame Santa Barbara County completely for allowing the growers of sweet flowers to switch to marijuana. Would you have put a chicken processing ranch right in this community? Greedy for profits of a barely legal industry, you discarded your homeowners’ contributions here.

Our pets developed asthma in four months. We are often head-achey or dizzy. The Armageddon on Oct. 14, 2023 (what in hell was happening?) pets and adults threw up from the invasive stench.

There is no break, even Dec. 24 and 25 had the greenhouses open! Scrapped planned walks with visiting family to look at the stars.

Our realtor didn’t inform us, but said we “could have visited at night.” Must realtors here lie or omit to make sales? If a person chooses to smoke, that is their right. But residents have nightly stink forced upon us, no choice. Wholesalers dropped a calla lily ranch in favor of pot. Did you think of all the implications when you allowed weed to be grown within the air space of thousands of humans?

Loud music disrupts neighbors’ peace

Due to some misconceptions expressed in the Coastal View News recently regarding live entertainment issues, I feel a need to clarify the neighbors’ position.

I have never asked that live entertainment in Carpinteria be silenced. My concern is with the volume of the music.

I’ve owned my house for over 20 years, and this type of noise was not a problem until the Island Brewery Company moved its entertainment outdoors and allowed large amplifiers to be directed toward local houses.

I would not call this area “downtown,” as I live across from the park. The music is not always too loud, but occasionally, I can’t hear my television because of it, and my grandchildren are not able to go to sleep. I have called the business’ owner to ask for help and have never received an apology or an offer to turn down the volume.

I know the brewery uses the music as an audible advertisement to draw customers in. Would we allow billboards on Linden as well? This is the only music I can hear from my home every Friday and Saturday night, and on Sunday in the late afternoon through evening. I enjoy hearing live music when I am allowed to choose (love the Rincons!). I would also point out that during the Avocado Festival, the brewery blasted music Friday, Saturday and Sunday, even after the festival had ended.

This neighborhood lately is plagued with loud motorcycles, car doors slamming, horns honking, dogs barking, etc.

I think people, whether “city slickers” or not, deserve peace and quiet in their homes and a certain quality of life, regardless of where they live. I wish this for everyone else as well.

Marilyn Jenkins Carpinteria

Keep our open space undeveloped

First, I would like to thank my fellow citizens of Carpinteria for saving this important forum, the Coastal View News.

We got together, as one, and with our dollars and voices, kept this paper going.

Yay, Carpinteria!

The fact that you are reading this right now is a testament to how much our people care about community information, as well as the issues that threaten the things that make our unique little beach town truly unique. Here we are again, with out-of-towners attempting to develop our land, increase traffic congestion, threaten our dwindling seal population and obscure our ocean views.

In the last issue (CVN Vol. 30, No. 17) and many before it, one can read just how fed up we the people are. Having to beat back the bullies that continually try to exploit our lands for their profit.

It is very important for all of us to be informed and motivated to save what is ours, save what is sacred and save what open spaces are left. I watched a YouTube video, “Carpinteria at 50,” and in it was a section that showed the last success of our people, when we came together to save the bluffs as they are now. Please find that online and watch it. We have those good folks to thank.

Now let’s carry the torch and continue what those selfless, forward-thinking and caring citizens did for us. Save the bluffs. Attend the Architectural Review Board meeting on Jan. 25. Research and find facts to bring to the table. Let your voice – our voices – be heard. Bring a poster, collect signatures, let us join as a community and say no. City planners, we are asking you to listen to us. We are saying hell no.

Lisa Starr Carpinteria

Farm development sign of progress

I strongly support the Carpinteria Farm Preserve and Bungalows project as I think it is a proposal that would be incredible for our community. It combines conservation, responsible tourism and amenities for our community – a rare win-win-win situation.

This is not just a development. It’s a testament to sustainable progress. By carefully integrating the bungalows, this project exemplifies a commitment to environmental stewardship and ensures that the natural beauty of our area remains preserved while providing a unique opportunity for people to connect with nature in an immersive and responsible manner.

I appreciate the thoughtful planning and honestly believe they have taken into consideration the concerns of local residents and environmental advocates.

The Carpinteria Preserve and Bungalows strikes a balance between needed homes, visitor use and preservation, and it represents a model for sustainable development that other communities should emulate.

If we are lucky enough to have this project created in our community, it would significantly improve the quality of life for all. My family would love for it to happen.

Time for a Warrior pool

I began swimming with the Carpinteria Aquatics Club at the age of nine and continued until I was 18 years old. During this time, I transitioned into participating in the Carpinteria High School aquatics programs at 14. These programs were an experience in my life that I would never forget because the principles I was taught went further beyond what was learned in the pool.

During my time as a Warrior, I was able to build long-lasting friendships, create personal and team goals and develop a sense of confidence. I have had the privilege to coach for Carpinteria Aquatics Club for four years, and in my time here, I have seen how aquatic sports play an instrumental role in young children’s development. Aquatics is an avenue to build social and emotional intelligence and promote a healthy lifestyle in a playful and structured setting. I have seen our youth program grow where the starting number of participants began at ten children and has since increased to 55 children.

These athletes have begun to advance to the older groups and show huge promise in becoming highly competitive.

A Warrior pool would further propel the important messages that all of our Carpinteria Aquatics programs teach and establish the aquatics community.

The Warrior Aquatics athletes would have a space to feel proud, as many of the Warrior athletes get to experience when they walk onto their home fields, courts and stadiums. This pool would impact the thriving Carpinteria Aquatics

community, and it would only further the comradery of our talented high school athletes as they walk onto their home turf with the feeling that Warrior Spirit Never Dies.

Protect nature in Carpinteria

We don’t need a hotel and a lot of uninformed people on the bluffs. Seal Watch volunteers have a big job trying to keep uninformed visitors from disturbing the harbor seals. The beach is closed from January to June so harbor seals can have their pups without being disturbed.

Harbor seals have been here for over 100 years, so let’s protect them. There are only about three harbor seal rookeries left on the California coast. Let’s enjoy nature and give them a safe place to stay.

Let’s encourage the people who own the land to give the land to the city, so it can become a permanent place for nature and the harbor rookery.

The path from the docent parking lot needs to be improved. I was a volunteer docent for 10 years until I had a foot problem and was afraid I might fall, so I had to resign. A little maintenance to the trail would be a great improvement, and maybe I could become a volunteer again to protect the seals, and inform the visitors who come from all over the world to protect and enjoy nature.

Aaron Maximilian “Max” McGinnis was born in Santa Barbara, Calif., on Oct. 1, 1986. His parents, Andy and Bea picked his middle name because they wanted “a million Max’s.” He was the sweetest, most observant child, with a big heart and a great sense of humor. Max loved his big brother Drew, and emulated his every move as they grew up in Carpinteria.

While fighting crime as a Power Ranger and a Ninja Turtle, Max attended Canalino Elementary School, eventually matriculating through Aliso Elementary, Carpinteria Middle School and Carpinteria High School. He graduated with a B.S. in Business from CSU Channel Islands in 2011.

Growing up in a house full of music meant that Max’s musical inclinations were natural. His passion for bass and electric guitar led him to perform in three different bands, giving him opportunities to play and sing in local clubs, even recording a demo in Connecticut.

Max was empathetic, loving, generous and hilarious. He helped tend to his grandmother in her later years, participated in shenanigans with his friends and held insightful conversations about life with his family. To know Max was to feel the warmth of sunshine in his presence, his smile and dry sense of humor.

On Dec. 16, 2023, Aaron Maximilian “Max” McGinnis, 37, passed peacefully and suddenly in Oxnard, Calif., after a brief illness. He was preceded in death by grandparents Joe and Hannah Thomas, and Larry Lee McGinnis and Katie Jacobson.

He is survived by his parents Douglas Andrew McGinnis Sr. and Beatrice McGinnis (Thomas); brother Douglas Andrew McGinnis II; aunts Anastasia (Staci) Salcedo, Samantha Lopes and Wanda Thomas (godmother); godfather Todd Simms; first cousins Adia Norris, Joey Salcedo, Christopher Harvest and Lora Lopes; as well as a host of family and friends who loved him and will miss him greatly.

A celebration of life, “Remembering Max,” was held at the Thomas Family home on Dec. 28, 2023. May his memory be a blessing.

Grace Moreno 11/26/1931 – 01/14/2024

On Jan. 14, 2024, Grace Moreno passed away peacefully at the age of 92, surrounded by her loving family. While it is bittersweet to see our mom/grandmother, great-grandmother and friend leave us to be with Jesus, she is not alone.

She is with our dad, her beloved husband Tony, who preceded her in death on March 20, 1995.

Grace was born in Gardena, Calif. She and her family migrated to Carpinteria in the late ‘40s.

Grace and Tony met at Carpinteria High School. She graduated from Carpinteria High School in ’51 and he in ’52, and they began dating and started a family at that time. They had four children: Linda, whose husband is Joe; Tommy; Johnny, whose wife is Candy; and Rudy. They raised them on the Joan Daly Avocado and Lemon Ranch off of Foothill Road.

Grace is also survived by nine grandkids and 28 great-grandkids.

When Grace was 16, she began working at Carpinteria’s Lemon Packing House. She later worked for Technical Wire Products here in Carpinteria, and stayed employed until she turned 50.

Grace had a knack for many things like making her kids’ school clothes from scratch in the early ’60s. She also loved cooking, especially making her favorite chili verde and beef tacos and refried beans. She had many a family and friend at her house to feed them all. Grace also liked to dance, and the Palms was a favorite place she would go to find live rock ‘n roll music to dance the night away.

We will miss our mom dearly, but we know she is up there in heaven dancing with our dad, the both of them together forever and ever! We will miss you and love you always mom.

Mom’s funeral services will begin with a full mass at St. Joseph’s Church in Carpinteria – located at 1532 Linden Ave. – on Saturday, Jan. 27, at 11:30 a.m.

A burial will follow at Carpinteria Cemetery. After her burial, we plan on having a celebration of our mom’s life at the Lions Park in Carpinteria.

A special thanks for the great care provided by the caring staff at Pacifica Senior Living Facility.

Mental health myths and facts

CVN

MY WELLNESS NOW VICKIE GONZALEZ This week, I’m going to talk about some myths about mental health, broken into age categories. A few examples of research are mentioned.

One common myth is that mental health problems are rare. Most recently, research has shown that one in two people will experience a mental health disorder at some point in their lives (The Lancet Psychiatry); previously, the World Health Organization (WHO) approximated it to one in four people.

Childhood (6-12)

Myth: mental health only affects adults. Mental health does not discriminate. According to the National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH), 50% of all mental health disorders begin by the age of 14 and 75% begin by age 24.

Myth: children cannot have mental health issues. The American Academy of Pediatrics has found that mental health disorders are emerging in childhood as well. This includes anxiety, ADHD, depression and others. Statistics vary, but it is agreed that mental health issues are very much underreported/undiagnosed.

The myth that professional success equals mental health well-being oversimplifies the relationship between work and mental health.

A fulfilling career can positively contribute to mental health; however, things such as work-life imbalance can have adverse effects.

Adolescence (13-18)

Myth: teenagers are just moody. The NIMH both found that 49.5% of adolescents have had a mental health disorder at some point in their lives; this is more than “just moody.”

This is a critical stage of development and though mood swings are a normal part of adolescence, extreme shifts may indicate underlying mental health issues.

Studies have found that almost half of individuals with mood disorders in adolescence continue to experience these disorders in adulthood.

Myth: self-harm is a passing trend/is just a cry for help. A study published in JAMA Pediatrics discussed the long-term impact of behaviors on mental health.

Self-harming behaviors are complex and can serve as coping mechanisms. It is crucial that we understand the underlying reasons to provide effective support.

Young adults (18-25)

Myth: college is the best time of your life/college students never feel lonely.

This common myth that college is carefree contributes to mental health concerns being dismissed amongst this age group.

College students often face extremely high levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Whether it be academic pressures, social or financial challenges, etc., many things can significantly impact mental health. We want to encourage open conversation and dialogue and provide resources – especially on college campuses – to help support the well-being of young adults.

Myth: job success equals mental well-being. The myth that professional success equals mental health well-being oversimplifies the relationship between work and mental health. A fulfilling career can positively contribute to mental health; however, things such as work-life imbalance can have adverse effects. In addition to the work-life balance, WHO emphasizes the importance of having a supportive work environment.

Myth: midlife crisis is inevitable. Research indicates that midlife satisfaction varies among individuals. The concept of a midlife crisis isn’t universally experienced. We must personalize our approach to mental well-being.

Older Adults (65+)

Myth: depression is a normal part of aging/memory loss is inevitable with age. Depression is not an inevitable part of aging. Older adults may have unique challenges, but depression isn’t a normal or unavoidable consequence of aging.

Another misconception is that memory

Myth: young adults don’t get lonely.

The Kaiser Family Foundation’s study found that almost a fourth of young adults aged 18-25 reported feeling lonely or socially isolated. The additional myth around college students not being lonely is also challenged by research in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence.

There are so many transitions and new environments and there can still be feelings of isolation.

COASTAL BUREAU OPERATIONS • JAN 7 – 13

Sunday, Jan. 7

2335 hrs / Incident / 4400 block Via Real

A man backed up his truck into a parked car at a local gas station, then drove off. The incident was observed by deputies driving by. The man was stopped across the street and said he left because he was nervous since he was unlicensed.

Tuesday, Jan. 9

0827 hrs / Incident / Birch Street

A subject was contacted in his parked vehicle because he was known to have an outstanding warrant. He was arrested and booked into Santa Barbara Main Jail.

Wednesday, Jan. 10

1224 hrs / Incident / Eighth Street

Deputies contacted the reporting parties from a domestic call the evening prior. The reporting parties were concerned for the welfare of the female whom they

heard screaming for help. A records check confirmed that the male resident was on active probation. A probation search was conducted, leading deputies to contact the male and female resident. Both parties denied any physical altercation the evening prior and both refused to answer further questions with a lawyer.

No signs of struggle in the apartment or visible injuries noted.

1635 hrs / Incident / Fifth Avenue and Holly Avenue

Deputies responded to Fifth and Holly avenues. After making contact with the suspect, he was found to be publicly intoxicated. The suspect was arrested and transported to Santa Barbara Main Jail.

Deputies responded to a local motel for a report of a verbal dispute between

loss is inevitable. While there is some cognitive decline that may occur, proactive measures such as mental stimulation and healthy lifestyle can significantly impact and maintain cognitive function in older adults.

Myth: older adults don’t face substance abuse. Substance abuse happens at any age. In older adults it’s often linked to coping with life challenges or medical conditions. It’s important that we consider this when assessing older adults and finding the best approach to their care.

Myth: retirement always leads to improved mental health. The belief that retirement universally leads to improved mental health is most definitely a myth.

Retirement experiences vary among individuals, and we must address the diverse experiences of retirement to provide personalized mental health support.

Mental health challenges can happen at any age. Recognizing and addressing mental health concerns as early as possible, as well as finding personalized approaches to interventions, is vital for ensuring proper support and preventing long-term consequences. As always, these articles intend to open conversations, inspire curiosity to ask questions and seek out more information and ultimately remove the stigma around mental health.

A call came in on an unclaimed cell phone from the first subject’s sister. A deputy answered and heard her say, “Did you get him?” directed to one of the suspects, referring to picking up the first subject and aiding him in fleeing from law enforcement. All suspects were arrested, transported and booked to the Santa Barbara Main Jail for their separate charges.

Cate student creates community-focused storytelling gathering Inspired by a summer trip to Alaska, Cate School student Daisy Gemberling has founded Carp Chronicles, an oral storytelling gathering created to connect different branches of the Carpinteria community by passing down stories, and local history. “(I’m) really interested in oral histories,” Gemberling told CVN. “Having a space to celebrate them is really important.”

Gemberling, a 16-year-old junior at Cate, was in Alaska last summer for a pre-college program. Her trip eventually brought her to Sitka Tells Tales, a storytelling event in Anchorage where visitors from around the world share stories from their lives. Gemberling said she was enchanted by the experience, listening to different stories and feeling connected to the people who told them.

“It was the most instantaneously bonded I had ever felt with a community,” Gemberling said. Visitors from Los Angeles to Ukraine were present at the event, recounting a variety of stories, from family members struggling with mental illness to growing up in a volatile community. “I didn’t understand the power of storytelling until I was in that space.”

Gemberling wanted to bring that feeling of connection through story-telling to Carpinteria, in a casual and public space.

As a Cate School student, she said, she has a strained relationship with the Carpinteria community – feeling just outside of it and not as involved as she’d like to be.

“I’ve always wanted to feel like I was in more of a community,” she said.

Carp Chronicles events, Gemberling said, will provide a space for storytellers

schools during the district beach day.

Hernandez also broke down some of the culinary options at CUSD. Food services provides a daily garden bar, with vegetables, fruits, legumes, meats, tossed salads and pickled vegetables; scratchcooked meals and foods such as soups, salad dressings, and pasta sauces; and hearty homemade cuisine like vegetable lasagna, chicken pozole, Greek garbanzo bean salad and teriyaki chicken.

Some challenges the department faced over the last few years included limitations in space, equipment and staffing.

To tackle these issues, the department revamped some of the kitchens to maximize space, and purchased equipment to aid in bulk cooking, such as a tilt skillet, a walk-in cooler, food transporting carts and a food truck.

Looking forward, Hernandez’s twoyear plan for the department included some immediate and long-term goals.

Within the next few months, Hernandez hopes to hire additional culinary support and work with local farmers on upcoming scratch-cooked menus.

Later this year, the walk-in cooler will be installed, and staff will open a bakery in a school kitchen to allow for more homemade bread and lessen the amount of processed food fed to students. Next year, the Canalino Elementary School kitchen will be revamped, and an herb and small produce garden will be created at CHS.

and attendees, for those who prefer to listen. Each event will include five speakers, with personal stories ranging from eight to 10 minutes, all with one central theme.

The theme for the group’s first Jan. 27 event is “new experiences” – but Gemberling said she plans to keep themes broad to allow for different interpretations.

She hopes for future Carp Chronicles events to take place once a month, though this depends on public demand.

The sign-up sheet for those wanting to participate can be found at tinyurl.com/ CarpChroniclessignup. The event is open to any who are interested, and though there is a limited number of speakers, Gemberling said she hopes for a large turnout of listeners.

The first Carp Chronicles event will be held at Lantern Tree Books, 892 Linden Ave., on Saturday, Jan. 27, 6 –7 p.m.

Crossing the line

CVN

IT’S ALL SURFING CHRISTIAN BEAMISH Rolling through the pretty valley of Santo Tomas in Baja last week – evening light pouring down over the mountains there and filling the river bottom with a golden diaphanous veil – my buddy had Townes Van Zandt on the car radio: “All the Federales say, they could-a had him any day…” That’s cowboy poetry, it seems to me, and one of the best aspects of American culture. It’s not refined, and not too concerned with appearances, but it’s crystalline in the feelings it evokes.

Heading north after three days of surfing that all together felt like a much longer stretch of time, myself and five other friends were squeezed into two vehicles with every manner of surf craft – from longboards, to a short little three finner, to my newest channel bottom single fins and a twinnie I shaped just for the trip.

We’d headed to Baja ostensibly to test a new set of keel fins I’d designed and that the True Ames fin company is producing,

but we were also just remembering to be surfers even as we catapult through middle age – most of us with a child or two at home and a wife awaiting our return.

The mission was a success even if the surf wasn’t spectacular. We got the camera footage of the keels performing their function under the feet of the great Dan Malloy and Troy Mothershead. These two have different styles of surfing, both nevertheless involving pure flow and power, and I cannot believe sometimes that this is the stuff I get to do for “work.”

Black lava reefs line the shores near San Quintin, and a setup there offered crossed-up peaks for us to traverse and lay down some carves. A beach nearby held a clean lefthander spinning “against the grain” of the Northwest swell, with a nice pocket held open by a swift current pulling seaward along a rocky promontory.

The houses nearby seemed neat and tidy, even with rebar protruding here and there for additions that may or may not ever be completed. Vehicles have a Mad Max appearance as the dirt roads claim a toll in missing bumpers and accumulating layers of mud and dust. And in direct counterbalance to what appears to be ruin all around, my experience in Mexico is one of kindness and good humor.

My traveling companions and I are at the stage in life where, given the option, we stay in a hotel. There is still plenty of grit to be had all day in the sun, running the potholes out and back to the surf, with a big sleigh ride down a steep sandy track to the reef where we first paddled out.

Our reward, besides the elemental and ancient joy of surfing, was tacos.

A bread-delivery van on a Baja road-warrior mission.

It’s easy to find the best place – just keep your eyes open for where the people are lined up. (Although one of the guys in our group happened to know where the best place was, anyway.) There was the perfect tower of al pastor, spinning beautifully on a vertical spit, flames leaping out to bronze the flanks, a good big chunk of pineapple pinned to the top. Thin cuts of asada sizzled on another grill, a man with the skills of a sushi chef chopping away on a wood block and in minutes the six of us were enjoying full plates “con todo.”

One could argue that the meal wasn’t complete without a cold Tecate (after having had a few down on the beach apres surf as well). But as another cowboy poet buddy of mine recently said to me, “I’ve already had all my beers.” The idea being there’s only so many beers one gets in a life, and he’s drank all his. And if that’s the case, then I probably drank all mine by about 1990 while serving in the Navy.

Not to be too Pollyanna-ish about it, but a cold Coke is a damn good pairing with carne asada as well.

Looking at my traveling companions, spanning in ages from their early 30s to mid-40s (with a certain outlier approach-

COURTESY PHOTO

ing his mid-50s), I have the sense of life somehow burnishing us. Doesn’t the Bible somewhere say something about “… shining like burnished brass?” I may be coming to understand that, that it is, in fact, the stress and responsibility inherent to being a grown-up that makes us shine, even as, perhaps, we’re worn down a bit by it all as well. It’s as if the splendor of life withers us – a slow-motion disintegration of ourselves, fusing into oneness when our time on this earth is done.

My buddies and I are not done yet, I don’t think, but man, a couple of our mugs have some miles etched on them!

How to make major life decisions

CVN

THE SEAWITCH SAYS AMY OROZCO Dear Amy O, Please give me your advice – this is a beautiful town with nice people and fabulous weather, but how do I talk my husband into moving to a new state that has more affordable housing, similar weather, pickleball and located a few miles near our families? Greatly appreciated.

Signed, Tired of Being Cash Poor Dear Tired of Being Cash Poor, This is a toughie! I bet a lot more couples and families are facing this issue than we realize; I know my husband and I have discussed this matter numerous times.

For starters, I don’t know if you and hubby already have discussed the issue and he’s not on board, or if you are strategizing on how to broach the subject so he’ll give an enthusiastic thumbs up to the idea and start packing.

How do the two of you make joint decisions, major life ones or otherwise?

Whether you realize it or not, there is a process in place. How does that process serve you? Is there an even give-and-take and compromise? Or is one partner usually conceding to the other? Understanding one’s decision-making process results in better outcomes and happiness with the made decision.

Sounds like you are firm in your decision to move to a different state that has affordable housing, is closer to family, and has similar weather and pickleball opportunities. Good for you for knowing your mind!

I suggest delving deeper than housing, weather, pickleball and relative closeness to family as reasons to relocate. Don’t worry about making tidy a pro-con list.

Write down whatever comes to your mind. Here are some prompts: – things I can spend my money on with the extra $2,000/month I’ll be saving in housing costs; – how much more fun holidays will be when I spend them with relatives who live nearby rather than being stranded at a major airport; – natural disasters I won’t miss receiving evacuation alerts for; – and new activities I’ll engage in with all the extra time I have because I won’t have to fight against the Malibu-ification ofBEST my hometown spend 45 BAGELS SINCE 1996 •orPRE-ORDER bagelsminutes 805-319-0155in freeway traffic to travel 12 miles.

Do the same for reasons to not relocate.

Again, here are some prompts:

I suggest delving deeper than housing, weather, pickleball and relative closeness to family as reasons to relocate.

– regional food favorites like breakfast burritos, avocados and IPAs; – playing softball on the Bluffs all year ’round; – likelihood of lost wallet being returned is high in Carp; – and knowing and liking my neighbors and shopkeepers very much.

This is not a one-and-done exercise.

Try it daily for a week at 15 minutes a pop (or any easily doable timeframe for you). Don’t bother reviewing what you put on paper until the week is finished.

Who knows? You might surprise yourself.

The purpose of this is for you to be 100% certain on your decision. Then, I suggest having your husband do the same exercise after you share your results with him. Whether he’s lukewarm on the idea of moving or ice cold, his reasons for staying or moving are just as important as yours. And they just may offer fresh insight that influences your decision. Vice versa for your reasons and his decision.

Which states do you have in mind for the move? Have the two of you visited

them? Please don’t think of packing up and moving to a place you never have been. In fact, don’t “visit” – go there and live as a resident for six months or longer if possible. Checking out relocation sites may prevent any stalemate in this major life decision.

Many moons ago, I found the book “Write it Down, Make it Happen” by Henriette Klauser, Ph. Dl, very helpful in navigating major change. If that appeals to you, I highly recommend it.

Lastly, never blame someone else for the road you’re on. That’s your own asphalt. I saw that on Facebook (with no attribution). It’s not specific to your situation, but rather good general advice for all of us.

Best of luck!

Morning Rotary to hold 4-Way video contest

The Rotary Club of Carpinteria Morning is sponsoring the annual Rotary 4-Way contest in video format this year, asking local ninth to 12th grade students to create a one-to-three-minute video focused on peacebuilding, justice or community development.

The annual 4-Way contest, which in the past has been an essay contest, asks students to consider the four fundamental Rotary questions: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

The contest is only open to students in high school, and videos must be submitted no later than Feb. 19. Awards will include Amazon gift cards valuing $250 for first place, $100 for second place and $50 for third place. Applications, as well as more guidelines, can be found at: forms.gle/rW8u8sFg16YZd6sM8. Winners for the contest will be announced on March 6.

Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara also offers therapy dog visits for senior centers, memory facilities and hospices, Bradshaw and Forner told club members.

The Rotary Club of Carpinteria Morning meets almost every Wednesday at 7 a.m. at 1059 Vallecito Road.

Mind-body integration

JOYFUL AGING L E S L I E SO KO L The new year brings feelings of a fresh start as well as opportunities to improve our overall health and wellness. For many of us, a fresh start means a new beginning. Writing down our fitness goals is a great way to stay motivated and energized.

However, it is important to approach those goals one step at a time, manage expectations and pace ourselves. This will ensure that we don’t get burnt out before we get started! Regular and consistent exercise can help us all stay independent and prevent many health problems that come with age. To help you get in shape and feel great for all of 2024, here are some super fun and motivating workouts to try on your own.

Hybrid workouts

As the saying goes, “Variety is the spice of life.” Hybrid training combines different approaches so you get a bit of everything: strength workouts, functional fitness, cardio and endurance. This involves shifting away from a single focus and using two or more training techniques at the same time.

Mixing things up with different types of exercise helps utilize all the muscles in your body. When you only do one type of sport or exercise you are not getting a balanced workout. This could mean you tend to overwork certain muscles.

For instance, if you hike, jog or run on a regular basis, you’ll want to make sure

The mind-body connection suggests that our thoughts, feelings and attitudes can influence our physical health (and vice-versa). It’s important to incorporate workouts that improve mental wellbeing while strengthening your body, such as breath work, yoga, meditation, stretching, Tai-chi and relaxing exercises. These types of mindful movements calm your central nervous system while reducing feelings of stress and anxiety.

Personalized fitness workouts

We all love personal attention – especially when someone takes an interest in our well-being and makes us feel good.

Finding a workout program that feels tailored just for you boosts motivation and helps you achieve your fitness goals.

Choose fitness and dance classes that are smaller in size, where you are more likely to receive individual attention and instruction. Because of this, you will see a remarkable improvement in your results in no time. An exercise program that is specifically targeting your needs is a great way to stay physically and mentally fit.

Incorporating all three elements into your workout routines allows for a variety of movements that work all of your muscle groups. You will increase your mobility, improve your posture and range of motion and reduce soreness and injuries. Most of all, you will experience a better quality of life!

Optimized fitness

We now know the long-lasting implications of injury and burnout. Overuse of our muscles, repetitive movements and/or improper technique can cause muscle strain and intense fatigue. As we age, we need more recovery time. We need to remember to take breaks to give our muscles a chance to relax and restore their energy. On less active days, you can focus on doing more types of mind-body exercises like those listed above.

While the quantity of exercise you do is important, quality is also vital. You don’t have to spend hours working out.

Optimizing your time with shorter and more consistent workouts is key. Choose classes that are effective and efficient with your time and energy. One example of this is circuit training, where you do different exercises at different stations, focusing on different muscle groups at each station. Regardless of what you do, it’s about enjoying the time you are exercising.

Full body workouts

Holistic health and wellness

Focus on recovery

There are three components of fitness that you should be doing: aerobic exercise, strengthening and stretching.

Holistic health is an approach to wellness that simultaneously addresses the physical, mental, emotional, social

and spiritual components of the mind and body. It is an approach to life that considers multidimensional aspects of wellness and encourages individuals to recognize the whole person. Many activities and exercises involve using all of these aspects. We want to be well both inside and out! If we approach every day with optimism and a positive attitude, we will live a happier and healthier life.

Let’s make this year the best, regardless of which workouts we choose. Enjoy every moment and be happy with who you are and where you are in your life!

Sophomore Edwin Hernandez lays it up for two of his nine points in the win.

Carpinteria grabs two league wins on hardwood Warriors advance to 5-1 in Citrus Coast League with wins over Malibu and Nordhoff

BY RYAN P. CRUZ PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING Carpinteria boys basketball is rolling through the midseason, and despite suffering a tough non-league matchup in a packed house against crosstown rival Cate, the Warriors picked up two more Citrus Coast League wins in the past week over Malibu and Nordhoff to advance to 5-1 against conference opponents.

After picking up back-to-back wins over Channel Islands and Fillmore last week, the Warriors earned their third consecutive Citrus Coast League victory with a decisive 61-33 win at home over Malibu on Thursday, Jan. 11.

Carpinteria’s usual starters built an early lead against Malibu, allowing head Coach Jackson Hall to give solid playing time to some of the team’s reserve players, who took the chance to showcase their hard work off the bench.

Junior Luke Fancher was on fire with 18 points – all in the second quarter – when it seemed like the Warriors standout couldn’t miss. “Luke also competed hard on the boards this evening and scrapped for deflections and loose balls,” coach Hall said.

For the rest of the night, sophomore Edwin Hernandez took over the offense for Carpinteria, attacking off the dribble and scoring nine points himself while also delivering some well-timed assists

to teammates.

Senior Mario Serrano dropped seven points, with coach Hall saying he “displayed the poise and maturity of a veteran player, which helped steady our team over the course of the game.”

By the end of the night, 10 different Warriors scored in the win over Malibu, including junior Jason Cariveau, who scored his first varsity points with a hardearned bucket off an offensive rebound and put back.

The Warriors returned to the court on Saturday, Jan. 13, for the “Battle of the 192” against crosstown rival Cate in front of the biggest home crowd of the year at Carpinteria.

Both teams put on a show for the fans, with Carpinteria taking a 26-17 lead into halftime before Cate ramped up the defensive pressure in the second half, outscoring the Warriors 20-8 in the final two quarters to give the Rams the win by a final score of 37-34.

“The environment and the crowd (were) phenomenal,” said Cate coach Andy Gil. “These crosstown matchups have so much emotion and energy involved that it gives you a true high school basketball environment that you hope every young basketball player gets to experience in life.”

Cate’s Jacob Gabbay and Julian Lee both finished with nine points for the Rams, while junior guard Marcus Scudder added in eight clutch points, includ-

ing three out of four free throws in the final two minutes of the win.

For the Warriors, junior Aiden Alcaraz led the way with 12 points, including 10 in the second quarter when his hot shooting forced Cate’s defense to readjust to a box-and-one scheme to stop him. With the Rams focused on Alcaraz, Warriors junior Sebastian Campuzano-Reed battled in the paint to contribute 11 points of his own.

“I am especially proud of how our boys kept their composure this evening against a Cate team that was very physical both before and after the whistle throughout the contest,” said coach Hall of Carpinteria. “Despite the loss, our boys represented our community with pride and respect.”

Despite suffering the non-league rivalry game against Cate, the Warriors were back to their winning ways on Tuesday, Jan. 16 on the road against Nordhoff.

Against the Rangers, the Warriors defense once again held their opponent under 50 points and Carpinteria cruised to a 65-47 victory.

Campuzano-Reed led the team with 18 points in the victory, while Alcaraz fought through another box-and-one scheme to score 15 points and junior Sawyer Kelly contributed with 13.

With the win, Carpinteria is now 10-9 overall and 5-1 in the Citrus Coast League.

The Warriors have now won four straight games against conference oppo-

Junior Jason Cariveau looks to sink a free throw in front of the home fans. nents, and with only one loss, Carpinteria is at second in the league, behind undefeated Santa Paula.

Carpinteria will try to make it five straight league wins when the Warriors take on Channel Islands on Thursday, Jan. 18.

Boys soccer wins back-to-back games

After a slow start to the season – with the Warriors’ only win before last week coming back on Nov. 30 – Carpinteria boys soccer got back in the win column with two straight wins on Jan. 10 and 12.

Carpinteria got its second win of the season on Jan. 10 with a 3-1 victory over Fillmore. After both teams went into halftime tied, Carpinteria senior Raul Reyes broke through with a header in the first eight minutes of the second half.

Fillmore tied the game at 1-1, though the Warriors would score twice more to secure the win over the Flashes, 3-1.

“The boys played another great game, they had the energy, intensity and hunger to win tonight,” said Carpinteria coach Gerry Rodriguez. “I was very proud of the way the boys played and hope they continue this style of play into our next league games.”

On Jan. 12, Carpinteria kept the momentum going against Malibu, with Jeshua Magaña scoring his third goal in three games to give the Warriors an early lead, and Angel Zepeda driving in an insurance goal to ensure the win for Carpinteria, 2-0.

With the back-to-back wins, Carpinteria moves to 3-5-1 overall and 2-4-1 in the Citrus Coast League, as the Warriors prepare for two league matches this week against Nordhoff and Channel Islands.

Carpinteria girls fall to Fillmore, survive at Malibu

Warriors girls soccer suffered a tough loss against Fillmore on Jan. 10, with the Warriors giving up five goals and several penalty kicks due to what coach Freddy Martinez called “controversial hand balls” called against Carpinteria.

After falling behind 2-0, the Warriors could not find the back of the net, and another penalty kick awarded to Fillmore opened the floodgates in the 60th minute, with the Flashes scoring three goals in the final 20 minutes to take the 5-0 win.

Two days later, the Warriors tried to shake off the loss with a match at Malibu. But the frustrations bubbled over when the Sharks took a 1-0 lead in the fifth minute, and held the Warriors scoreless for nearly the entire game.

But Carpinteria sophomore Logan Labistour served as the hero of the day for Warriors, hammering a clutch equalizing goal in the 79th minute to send the game into overtime. Neither team scored, and Carpinteria escaped with a tie to move to 6-3-1 overall and 3-3-1 in league play.

“I felt that today that the players’ frustration was feeding off others’ frustrations,” coach Freddy Martinez said. “The girls are putting more pressure on themselves in an

attempt to get themselves out of this mid-season slump and this game demonstrated how soccer is part skill and equal parts controlling emotions. But I am very happy we were able to salvage a point today. We still control our faith in the hopes of the playoffs this season.”

Warriors water polo splits league matches

Carpinteria girls water polo cruised past the Hueneme Vikings 13-2 on Jan. 11, but the Warriors had a more difficult time against Santa Paula on Jan. 13, falling to the Cardinals for the second time this year by a narrow margin, 8-9.

The Warriors spread the wealth in the 13-2 win over Hueneme. Seven players scored goals, led by Giulia Piccoletti and Mina Handall, both with three goals. On defense, freshman Hazel Dugré grabbed four steals while goalie Allison Banks recorded six saves.

Carpinteria played Santa Paula once before during a tournament earlier this season, losing a close game, 6-8, but the Jan. 13 matchup between the two teams served as the first official meeting towards the Citrus Coast League standings.

This time again it was the Cardinals holding on to a lead for much of the game,

Sophomore Logan Labistour prevented a loss by scoring a game-tying goal in the 79th minute.

Coastal View News • Tel: (805) 684-4428 and despite a late push by the Warriors to bring a four-goal deficit within one score, Santa Paula was able to send Carpinteria home with the loss, 8-9.

The Warriors were led by Lilli Nemetz and Caden Lemere with three goals each, while Piccoletti scored twice and Banks recorded seven blocked shots in the loss.

Carpinteria is now 8-4 overall and 3-1 in league play as the Warriors prepare for a match against Fillmore this week.

by Bishop Diego, 34-18.

Cate’s boys basketball team had an even longer winter break – 31 days – and the Rams had a tough time against the fast-paced St. Bonaventure squad on Jan. 12. Despite a 23-point performance from junior guard Marcus Scudder, the Seraphs were still able to hold off and take the win over Cate, 67-42.

The next night Cate went into a packed Carpinteria High School Gymnasium and survived the “Battle of the 192” against the crosstown rival Warriors. Cate was down by nine at the half, but the Rams recovered and held Carpinteria to eight points in the second half to give Cate the 37-34 win.

Coach Andy Gil credited juniors Jacob Gabbay and Peter Lehman for their combined effort to keep Cate in the position to win the rivalry game. With the win, Cate boys basketball is now 8-2 overall and 1-1 in league play.

And in the pool, Cate girls water polo hosted its first league match of the year, which ended in dramatic fashion as Rams junior Kate McCoy scored her third goal of the game in overtime to give gate the win 11-10.

Junior Ani Van Lynde led the Rams with five goals in the game, while junior Lucy Guilbert-Neal added a pair and freshman Violet Monda scored one.

“This was a complete team win and I am so proud of our team’s resilience, grit, and togetherness,” said coach Jesse Morrison. “There were several momentum shifts, and our team remained calm and collected in the face of adversity.”

Senior Bella Velasquez drives to the basket.

Carpinteria girls hoops wins two straight

Warriors girls basketball is back on track, picking up two straight league wins in the past week over Fillmore and Malibu to move to 8-6 overall and 4-2 in the Citrus Coast League.

The Warriors defeated Fillmore in a 62-23 blowout on Jan. 10, with senior Amarisse Camargo leading the way with a stacked stat line of 17 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds. Sophomore Jamaica Cook contributed a double-double of her own with 14 points, 17 rebounds and five blocks; and sophomore Charlotte Cooney rounded out the scoring with 16 points, five assists and three steals.

Against Malibu on Jan. 12, the Warriors played what coach Henry Gonzales called “their most complete game in league play,” utilizing an efficient offense and tenacious defense to cruise to a 54-36 win over the Sharks.

Once again, the Warriors were led by the trio of Camargo, Cook and Cooney.

Camargo finished with 19 points and nine rebounds; Cook had eight points and 13 rebounds; and Cooney added 12 points and four assists.

“I was very happy with our team effort and execution in every aspect of the game,” coach Gonzales said. “We have taken two big steps forward this week and look to continue making big steps next week.”

Cate Rams roundup

It was a busy week of athletics for Cate School as students returned from the threeweek holiday break and got back into the heart of the winter sports season. Boys soccer, boys and girls basketball and girls water polo were all back in action in the past week.

It was smooth sailing for the boys soccer squad in the first three matches of the New Year, as the Rams rolled through league opponents Grace (7-0), Foothill Tech (2-0) and Bishop Diego (6-1) to remain undefeated for the season.

Sophomore George Marin got the scoring started early against Grace on Jan. 11 with a rebound goal in the fourth minute. Two minutes later, Marin took a pass from junior Uriel Beltran-Campuzano to give Cate a 2-0 lead. In the 22nd minute, Marin struck for a third time with another rebound goal to give the Rams a 3-0 lead and lock in his first-ever “hat trick” for Cate.

The Rams took a 4-0 lead into the half, then scored three more in the second half to seal the win at 7-0.

Two days later on Jan. 13, the Rams took their undefeated record to Ventura to face Tri-Valley League rival Foothill Tech. Again, Cate’s high-powered offense scored early, with sophomore Kiy Barry putting the Rams on the scoreboard in the fourth minute; a goal in the 69th minute from junior TJ Weir sealed the win for Cate, 2-0.

On Tuesday, Jan. 16, Cate boys soccer kept the win streak alive with a win over league foe Bishop Diego. After both teams were locked at 1-1 in the first half, Cate’s offense lit up the scoreboard with five unanswered goals to take the win, 6-1. With the win, Cate advanced to a perfect 6-0 overall record on the season.

“We are sharing the ball and spreading the scoring,” said Cate coach Jorge Reynoso. We had four different players score today and that’s been consistent throughout our season. However, the most impressive statistic in our opinion is that we’ve only allowed two goals in six matches.”

On the hardwood, Cate girls basketball struggled to score in two losses against St. Bonaventure and Bishop Diego. Against St. Bonaventure on Jan. 11, the Rams were
