Fireﬁghters take stair challenge for LLS research

Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District firefighters Brian Bull, Mark Blattler, Kenan Marting and Johan Nilsson will participate in the 31st annual LLS Firefighter Stairclimb on Sunday, March 13, in Seattle. The Carpinteria team, led by team captain Johan Nilsson, will help raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). “We are raising funds in the name of funding and finding a cure,” said Marting. “We will be racing up 69 stories of the Columbia Center wearing fire turnouts and breathing off an air pack. This competition brings in firefighters from across the country to raise money to help battle cancer.” The last LLS stairclimb was held in 2020 remotely with firefighters simulating the climb at Rincon Fitness due to the pandemic. “We are excited to be able to travel this year to Seattle to compete with some of the fittest firefighters in the country who are all coming together for a worthy cause,” Marting added. “Every dollar we raise fuels the best-in-class research and care that LLS delivers to the 1.4 million people in America with blood cancer. This cause has personally affected our firefighters and their families and we are glad to be a part of fighting for a cure.” To make a donation towards CSFD and to benefit LLS patients and their families everywhere, visit llswa.org.

School mask mandate ends after March 11 Governor Gavin Newsom announced Monday that beginning March 12, masks are no longer required in school and childcare facilities, although they are still “strongly recommended.” Masks are still required on public transit and while visiting health care facilities, emergency shelters, correctional facilities, homeless shelters and long-term care facilities. The statewide mask mandate also ended Tuesday, with masking no longer required – but strongly recommended – indoors for unvaccinated individuals. These moves come nearly a month after Governor Newsom lifted the indoor mask mandate for vaccinated residents. Santa Barbara County rescinded its own indoor mask mandate on Feb. 16. Newsom announced this shift alongside Oregon Governor Kate Brown and Washington Governor Jay Inslee. Both states’ indoor mask requirements will also end after March 11. “California continues to adjust our policies based on the latest data and science, applying what we’ve learned over the past two years to guide our response to the pandemic,” Governor Gavin Newsom said. “Masks are an eﬀective tool to minimize spread of the virus and future variants, especially when transmission rates are high. We cannot predict the future of the virus, but we are better prepared for it and will continue to take measures rooted in science to keep California moving forward.” Oregon Governor Brown and Washington Governor Inslee made similar announcements. “On the West Coast, our communities and economies are linked. Together, as we continue to recover from the Omicron surge, we will build resiliency and prepare for the next variant and the next pandemic,” Brown said. Santa Barbara County reported a drastic drop in cases last week, with a case rate of 13.96 per 100,000 residents. Between Feb. 18 and Feb. 24, the county reported 810 new cases, for 615 active cases and 84,173 total cases. That same week saw 47 hospitalizations, with 11 in the ICU, and 10 deaths. So far, 649 total deaths due to Covid-19 have been reported. As of Monday, 67.7% of the county is fully vaccinated. The county reported 26 new cases on Monday, with zero new cases in the south county unincorporated area, which includes Montecito, Summerland and the city of Carpinteria. Order four Covid-19 tests through USPS at special.usps.com/testkits. The tests are rapid, antigen at-home tests, and give results within 30 minutes. Tests are limited to four per household. Pick up at home test kits at several locations throughout the county; see locations at publichealthsbc.org/at-home-test-kits. To learn where to get vaccinated for Covid-19, visit publichealthsbc.org/ vaccine. To get tested for Covid-19, visit publichealthsbc.org/testing.

CITY BEAT Community faces uncertainty over skate park construction timeline

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

“What do we do if (new bids) come back and they’re all higher than this bid?”

BY EVELYN SPENCE

City staff continues to analyze the sole bid for the Carpinteria Skate Park to determine financially feasible construction options, Public Works Director ohn lasin told the council Monday. Last month, council was told only one bid, nearly 00k over budget, had been received to build the Carpinteria Skate Park a blow to the Carpinteria Skatepark Foundation, which has been working to raise money for the pro ect over the past several years. “Right now, the bid is almost 0 over the engineers estimate,” lasin said. “ s for the competition that s out there, why did we receive one bid That s for city staff to investigate.” lasin laid out several potential options for the council moving forward. ption award the bid to the sole bidder; option B re ect the bid, and build the pro ect through city employees; option C re ect the bid, and readvertise for more bids; option D re ect the bid, and split the pro ect into smaller, separate bid packages; or option abandon the pro ect. ll but option would cause construction delays. The city does not currently have any city personnel who could do the work, or the right e uipment, lasin said, meaning option B would incur a “substantial” but undetermined cost. ptions C and D also

–Councilmember Gregg Carty

City staff presented the council with fi e potential options o ing forward for the Carpinteria Skate ark all ut one would result in construction delays bring a number of unknown factors and costs into the e uation, and could result in either lower or higher bids, according to city staff. Councilmember regg Carty and other members of the council e pressed concern with re ecting the sole bid. “What do we do if new bids come back and they re all higher than this bid ” Carty asked. The council opted to defer any decisions until the ne t city council meeting on March 1 , although they told the city staff option accepting the bid is the most preferable. f they do accept the current bid, the council discussed potentially

splitting the e tra 00,000 between city funds and further fundraising from the foundation. Carty asked staﬀ if it was possible to have the sole bidder reevaluate the cost of the pro ect; to follow that path, city legal counsel ena Shoaf cos said the council would have to re ect the current bid, and the current bidder would go through the public bidding process again. “Before anything like that could happen, we would have to take one of these actions that are spelled out in the public contracting code,” she said. “Because this is considered a public pro ect under the public contracting code, we have to

comply with special procedures in order to receive bids for this work.” Carpinteria Skatepark Foundation members made it clear that option abandoning the pro ect was not an option. lasin also said option is not a recommended pursuit. “ think about the generations of kids who have ended up falling through our cracks. These are middle school kids who don t have anywhere to go after school, and they end up becoming in the court of public opinion truants,” Foundation member ulia Mayer told the council on Monday. “The longer we take to get this pro ect to the part where we re building, that s ust time for kids,” she added. City staﬀ will return to the council ne t meeting with more information on the council s options.

Council celebrates Women’s History Month with special designation

The Carpinteria City Council designated March 2022 as Women s istory Month in the city of Carpinteria on Monday, surrounded by members of the Women Making Change committee. The resolution to designate March as women s history month notes that women s contributions in history have “often been overlooked and undervalued,” and its passing was met with thunderous applause in the council chamber. Per the resolution, the Women Making Change committee honors “the women who fought to win suﬀrage rights for women and the bravery of Black women who fought for decades after to e ercise their right to vote, and to support the continuing eﬀorts of women in upholding voting and human rights for all mericans.” The resolution also references the lcazar Theatre s Women s istory Month program. n the spirit of women making change in the community, the theatre will host a number of women-focused events throughout the month of March. fter reading aloud the resolution, Councilmember Carty commended the resolution s writers. “Whoever wrote this, ust wanted to say it s incredible,” he said. Beth Co , chair of the Women Making Change committee, thanked the council for honoring Women s istory Month. “We are incredibly e cited and so thrilled that you have made this proclamation and supported it,” Co told the council. “Please make sure that you check out lcazar Theatre for all of our programming, it s going to be an incredible month and we re so e cited.”

Michael Wood 6/27/1943 – 1/7/2022

Michael David Wood was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, on June 27, 1943. He died, age 78, on Jan. 7, at his home in Ojai, California of natural causes. Michael was the eldest son of Harold David Wood and Dorothy O’Connor Wood, both of central New York. Michael grew up living on or near U.S. Naval bases where his father was stationed as a Navy pilot, moving every few years to such places as Pensacola, Florida; Toms River, New Jersey; Coronado, California; and Honolulu, Hawaii. As a child, he loved reading, baseball, his many pets and the adventures of growing up in a big family. He graduated from Escambia High School in Pensacola, Florida, and attended St Mary’s College of Maryland. Hoping to follow in his father’s footsteps, Michael applied to join the Navy but was rejected because of a high school leg injury. fter a brief ﬁrst marriage and working in construction in Washington D. C. for several years, he moved to California

in 1971, living in Santa Barbara, Isla Vista and Carpinteria. Michael loved the outdoors and lived for a time on Yogi Haeckel’s property on San Marcos Pass, and later in a homemade teepee built on a large wooden platform in the Santa Ynez Mountains, riding his bike down to the beaches and working in carpentry and house painting. Michael and Carolyn Kadota married in 1975 and together had two sons, who grew up surrounded by the support and love of their parents and the extended Kadota family. Michael was an avid plantsman and curated a vast collection of potted plants wherever he lived. When not tending to his plant collection, Michael could mostly be found reading and keeping up with current events in newspapers, television and magazines. While Michael seemed quite content to live a fairly private lifestyle these last years, he enjoyed and had wonderful relationships with his neighbors and friends in Ojai, and his former sister-inlaw Marian Kadota. He loved his sons, Mateo and Nate, and his many siblings, nieces and nephews. Michael was soft spoken, kind and engaging, and those who knew him miss him dearly. Michael was predeceased by his parents, brother Mark Wood, sister Dorothy (Gaylen) Schaubroeck and brother-in-law Michael Davis. He is survived by sons Mateo Wood of Isla Vista and Nathan (Emily Hansen) Wood of Carpinteria; grandson Jacob Wood; siblings Peter (Joan) Wood, Mary Thomas, John Wood, Christine Davis, Thomas (Jami) Wood, Barbarba (Raymond) Guerin, Andrew (Virginia) Wood, and Ann (William) Ratcliﬀ; and loving cousins, nieces and nephews.

Housing affordability: What you can do

CVN

THE LAY OF THE LAND MIKE WONDOLOWSKI Last summer on a hike up the Franklin Trail, my wife Diane and I were discussing the challenges people face finding and affording a place to live here in Carpinteria or even anywhere close by. This is a wonderful place to live, and housing costs have been high here for a long time. But prices and rents have really skyrocketed in the past few years. Now, possibly more than ever, parents worry that their kids won t be able to afford to live here. As Diane and I discussed the various causes of this situation, and what it means to local families, we realized that some of the most important issues are not obvious unless you step back and look at the big picture (which is fortunately not too difficult when viewing the panorama of the Carpinteria Valley from the Franklin Trail). Out of that discussion on the trail came my series on this topic in this column over the past six months. The issues I have touched on in this series have included how the meaning of “The American Dream” has evolved over time, various factors that impact housing supply, effects of local planning decisions on the types

and pay of local jobs, and the relationship between levels of education and annual wages that help people afford housing. After considering these various factors, one of the most important conclusions is there is no single “fi .” nyone who purports to have “the answer” to local housing problems is, at best, ill-informed. Often when a new housing project is proposed, supporters many with a financial interest in the development) pitch the proposed increase in local housing supply as an “obvious” supply-and-demand response to high prices and low availability. However, this argument frequently falls apart when considering the type of housing proposed and how it fits into and impacts the existing community. The wrong type of housing project can actually exacerbate the housing problem by pulling in out-of-town buyers or renters who were not previously in the local market. Increasing supply does not necessarily decrease prices, especially when there is a huge set of potential buyers or renters in other areas (such as Los Angeles) who would love to live here and maybe even work from home in the post-Covid work environment. A simple, quick fix to the housing crunch can be as appealing as a pill that promises easy weight loss without exercise or dieting. But in reality, any uick fi is ust as effective and useful as that pill. Does that mean there is no solution and nothing we can do? Absolutely not! There are three general steps each of us can take: First, we need to develop some appreciation for the complexity of the housing

“There is no single ‘fix.’ Anyone who purports to have ‘the answer’ to local housing problems is, at best, ill-informed.” situation here in Carpinteria, on the South Coast, and throughout California. Ours is not the only community facing these challenges, although they are accentuated in this desirable small beach town. Personally, I recommend going to the Coastal View News website and reviewing the past six months of this column for an overview. But however you inform yourself, once you understand that there is no simple, uick fi , you are ready to move to the next step. The second step is to engage with our local government leaders, both city and county, and push them to make planning decisions that improve local housing availability and affordability, and create well-paying jobs that help local workers afford local housing. Planning decisions that create primarily minimum-wage tourist-serving jobs move us in the wrong direction. Development of affordable housing must not be an afterthought, but a key part of any project. Any proposal, residential or commercial, must be evaluated for how it will affect the jobs-housing balance in our community, or else those who live here will leave for work somewhere else, and those who work here will commute here from their homes elsewhere.

The third step is what we each have the most direct control over: preparing ourselves and the next generation for well-paying jobs that will make it possible to participate in a hot housing market. The correlation between higher levels of education and higher-paying jobs is well-documented. But education takes planning, time, commitment and support from family, friends and a community. It is a long road, so the time to begin down that road is right now. Yes, housing in Carpinteria is expensive. Yes, your kids might not be able to aﬀord to live here. But they and you can improve their chances. Mike Wondolowski is president of the Carpinteria Valley Association (CarpinteriaValleyAssociation.org), a local organization dedicated to maintaining the small beach town nature of our community. In his 30 years of involvement in planning issues, he has witnessed visionary successes, as well as decisions that were later widely regretted. When not stuck indoors, he can often be found enjoying Carpinteria’s treasures including kayaking and snorkeling along the coast, running or hiking on the bluffs or the Franklin Trail, or “vacationing” as a tent camper at the State Beach.

Go yell at the TV

Seemingly weekly, we are subjected to the same few that feel the need to espouse their views on national and global ﬁgures and events. Most of these screeds start oﬀ with some sort of strawman and quickly devolve into rants on topics a local paper has no real entrée into. We get it, we talk about you at parties, and it’s great for CVN, as it provides an active letter writing submission volume – guilty here, I realize. Yell at the TV.

e can t ust on”

o e

We all are exhausted and frustrated after two years of enduring the Covid-19 pandemic, so it is easy to throw our hands up in the air and say, “Let’s just move on.” But we can’t just move on and ignore everything we have learned during this pandemic. We learned that ignoring basic medical science is dangerous to everyone’s well-being. I was dismayed to see the recent letter from Diana Thorn (“Move On,” CVN, Vol. 28, No. 23) telling us to move on, while she repeats basic misunderstandings about how this virus operates. Lockdowns did slow the spread of the virus, masks do work and vaccines are highly eﬀective. t is wonderful to hear that her husband’s recent case of Covid-19 was mild – and the reason it was mild was because he had the vaccine, not because Omicron is “mild!” Yes, Covid-19 variants are here to stay. But it is dangerous to spread the lie that they will all be less dangerous – that, we cannot predict. What we do know is this: if we allow the virus to spread, it will multiply and then mutate. We do not know if those mutations will be more or less harmful. Everyone should continue to get their vaccines, get boosted when appropriate and wear masks if there is another surge of cases. That is the only way we can “move on” and prevent serious illness and death from a now endemic virus.

Ok, it’s early in the game. We’ve just had the preliminary Santa Barbara South County Architectural Review Board meeting and here come the dog and ponies, poorly clad and limping. The Housing Authority is overly desirous of the project, considering all its obvious aws. Beneﬁts are touted without the counter of losses. As the county receives the precious housing credits, and the developer delights with the ongoing revenues, the city will be saddled with the cost of support services. There are density issues. Did I mention water costs? Forty non-integrated units of aﬀordable housing, separate from services in a poorly-designed “resort style” development for workforce housing is – I’ll just say it – ludicrous. And yes, the “local” urban developer does hail from Las Vegas, and two of the three architects are located in Orange and San Diego counties. They would not know Carpinteria Valley from a hole in the urban boundary – or maybe it’s just that. With preliminary details

Street parking is already challenging

Interesting name for the new Bailard Avenue condo project since at least one Red-Tailed Hawk lives on the property. I guess they want to commemorate the beautiful creature before displacing it. I have not seen any mention that Bailard Avenue from the freeway through Mar Vista Park is more of a parking lot rather than a major thoroughfare. The parking between Villa Del Mar and Casitas Village is not parallel. To exit a parking space, a driver has to blindly back up until the through-traffic is visible. t is hard enough to be safe with the current traffic, especially on weekends when the park is rightfully filled with happy soccer or volleyball games, BBQ events, weddings and birthday parties, etc. Also, everyone that lives in Villa Del Mar and Casitas Village knows that two parking spaces per unit is not enough. With the percentage of adult children now living at home or with even another family sharing exorbitant rents, street parking is very challenging. Two parking spaces for the Red Tail complex occupants are not going to be enough either – and guess where they will park.

name is Angela, and she is impoverished. It is so sad to see the number of people that walk right by her as if she was invisible. I asked her if there was any place in our city where she could go for help. She answered no. I didn’t know if that was true or not, because I didn’t know either. As a caring community, we should be able to provide locations where the homeless can rest, clean up, safely store their belongings and have something to eat. You can tell a lot about a community by the way it treats its most vulnerable. I know that there are many concerned people and organizations in our municipality that are dedicated to helping the destitute. But many of us don’t know who or where they are, or how we can help besides giving money. I’m hoping some of these charitable organizations and churches reply in-kind.

By the way, it is ok to say “hi” to Angela and oﬀer her encouragement. ou ll feel better for it.

appy with our president

I think all Coastal View News readers know how Mr. Sanderson Smith feels about President Biden (“Biden is a disaster,” CVN, Vol. 28, No. 23) since his past two or three letters have been critical attacks loaded with all the Fox News, rightwing misinformation. He lays blame for all the problems we are facing as though they commenced once Biden was elected – a fact his guy still will not face. He ignores the fact that President Biden inherited the border mess left by Trump, who mishandled policies, immigrants, Covid-19, the pandemic and an Iraqi withdrawal agreement (signed by Trump . Biden is blamed for in ation, rising energy and food prices, which financial experts agree are directly linked to pandemic global market supply shortages, together with energy and goods suppliers, who profit by raising prices on necessary items like food and gas. It is reassuring to me that he is leading our country, especially now with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He has united our NATO allies and has the support of the European Union to aid Ukraine unlike Trump and some Republican congressmen who have lauded Putin’s anti-democratic aggression as “savvy” and genius. I am happy that we have a president that knows what he is doing and who is kind, honest and really puts merica first.

I recently began helping my wife with our grocery shopping at Albertsons. My job is to assist her with the heavy and hard-to-get items and help bag groceries. This gives me time to go over to Tyler’s Donuts to get some of their terriﬁc pan dulce, a Mexican pastry. If homeless Carpinterians are around, I usually buy some donuts to give to any homeless person that was there, along with some money. I know people say you shouldn’t give the homeless money, but rather donate to a charity or church. But heck with that. I feel better about myself knowing that some money is going directly to them. You may have seen a young lady sitting on the sidewalk in front of Albertsons. Her

Parents demand removal of Aliso principal Two se arate oli e re orts file in ol ing rin i al s hool staff

BY EVELYN SPENCE

Carpinteria nified School District s Feb. 23 board meeting saw a sharp escalation of complaints from parents about leadership at liso lementary School, which has had two separate police reports filed involving staff in the past month. lthough Parents for liso PF a parent group at liso had previously e pressed concerns with Principal eronica allardo s behavior, the recent escalation began after a Feb. 2 incident in a fifth grade classroom. fter a boy accidently hit a teacher with his shoe, he was allegedly grabbed by his collar and dragged out of the classroom by a teacher s aide, according to a police summary of the incident. The boy s mother, orrie Collier, and great-grandmother, Shirley Strickler, both spoke at Wednesday night s school board meeting and described their troubles with district staff. “ The aide grabbed my son by the collar and forcibly dragged him out of class, got a call from the school saying my son needed to be picked up because he was being disrespectful,” Collier told the board. “That night, got home, and had several different parents contacting me, saying how their child came home talking about how their friend and classmate was forcibly grabbed by the collar and physically removed from class and sent home. This incident affected those students and their parents. When spoke with Ms. allardo about it, she refused to talk about it,” she added. Collier filed a police report after the incident. The boy was sent home two more times after the Feb. 2 incident, following reports he was “disrespectful,” Strickler said.

Parents for Aliso urged the school board not to renew Aliso Principal eronica allardo s contract allardo has een at liso less than a year She e plained she was not given specific information from allardo or staff as to why he was sent home. “This poor fifth grade class is in a crisis,” Collier told the board. ccording to Collier, Strickler and PF , allardo dismissed parent concerns about the “choking” incident. n messages sent to parents through Parent S uare on Feb. 2 , allardo told par- – Aliso parent ents she would be taking over as the classroom s teacher, after the substitute declined to continue. The fifth grade class regular teacher is currently on medical leave. Parents for liso in emails to the superintendent and board members

demanded that allardo not be allowed to teach the ﬁfth grade class. “PF has received phone calls and te ts from Room 1 parents who have said une uivocally that they will pull their students from liso if Ms. allardo serves as their children s teacher,” an email from the PF read. “The trust and good faith that is re uired to run a positive, enriching Jorrie Collier classroom has been completely shattered by Ms. allardo s past and current actions. This classroom is in crisis, and we cannot allow one of the instigators of that crisis to now take the helm.” PF Co-President Monica Solorzano and other speakers urged the board last Wednesday not to renew allardo s contract, which will soon be up for renewal. allardo has worked at liso for less than a year. t Wednesday s meeting, Solorzano e pressed “disappointment with the lack of response from the Superintendent and the school board.” She told the public that Superintendent

Diana Rigby offered to meet with PF and allardo on Feb. 16 for a recorded oom meeting to discuss concerns, but later canceled the meeting over email, stating there was not a “mutual understanding of the purpose of this meeting.” ver email, Rigby reiterated her wish to meet in-person. “ s our elected officials who we voted into office to collaborate with us on the education of our children, we don t understand this silence. n the absence of engagement from our principal, superintendent and school board members, we don t know where to turn,” Solorzano said. She re uested a response from the board by March . mong the parents who have voiced concern and called for allardo s removal is Carpinteria City Councilmember atalia larcon, who noted she was not speaking in her capacity as a city councilmember. larcon said that while she believes allardo is “passionate” in her ob, it does not “make up for her lack of leadership.” Dr. Regina Ruiz, a longtime member of PF who has three children enrolled in the district, has also filed a police report against allardo, in relation to a separate incident, she confirmed to C . Ruiz told the board that allardo retaliated against and intimidated her on Feb. 1 after she complained about allardo s leadership at the board s Feb. meeting. “ n Feb. , spoke in front of this board advocating for ethnic families at our school to receive bilingual communication from Mrs. allardo. This was a federally protected speech under Title 6 of the Civil Rights ct of 196 , ” she told the board. “While responding to an email completely unrelated to my work, Ms. allardo notified me that she knows where work, and is personal family friends with my direct supervisor. immediately perceived this as retaliation, intimidation and a threat to my ob.” allardo did not respond to re uest for comment about the retaliation allegations raised by Ruiz or about the comments made at the Feb. 23 school board meeting.

lies to ertifie tea hers at

BY EVELYN SPENCE A memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed last week between the Carpinteria Unified School District (CUSD) and its associated union – the Carpinteria Association of United School Employees (CAUSE) – sets a new compensation rate for teachers who substitute during their prep periods. Per the agreement, teachers who substitute will now be compensated at their per diem hourly rate, at a rate no lower than $41.75. This rate will be provided retroactively to the beginning of the 20212022 school year. The agreement expires on June 30, 2022. “The district has suffered staffing shortages caused by the recent surge of Covid-19 cases and the Omicron variant. As a result of teachers having to be quarantined and isolated due to Covid-19, there is an on-going need to have teachers substitute and cover classes,” the M reads. This agreement does not apply to instructional aides, counselors, custodians, transportation workers and co-teachers, according to CAUSE. It also only applies to certiﬁed teachers at Carpinteria Middle and High schools, Superintendent Diana Rigby conﬁrmed. The district has faced a shortage of substitute teachers due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Rigby told the school board

– from the MOU between CUSD and the teacher’s union in September, although CAUSE President Jay Hotchner blamed the district’s teacher shortage on “arbitrary hiring and compensation” practices. “CAUSE leadership is proud of bringing this issue forward, and as a result, securing increased compensation (…) for faculty providing extra-contractual substitute service,” otchner said. “With a fully open contract and collective bargaining cycle soon upon us, CAUSE leadership will once again pursue the proposed improvements contained in our original and counter proposals.” Last semester, the district had eight substitute teachers available, comparable to its typical 30 or 40. Carpinteria is not the only school district dealing with a substitute teacher shortage during the pandemic; many school districts across the country have lowered substitute teacher requirements, such as in Missouri and Oregon, who removed some degree requirements for

Other school board news... Board adopts by-trustee election plan

The C SD board adopted a by-trustee election plan 203 last Wednesday, officially switching to by-trustee elections for the November 2022 elections. There was minimal discussion on the matter. Board member ndy Sheaffer pointed out that all three choices provided are “very similarly configured,” but that plan 203 has the lowest population deviation. District union president Jay Hotchner, who spoke on this item at the board’s prior meeting, e pressed concern about the map s configuration, which keeps each of the board member s current residences in different districts. This allows them to run for their seats again in the fall without running against each other. “ ach version of the redistricting maps provided to the community re ects that uni ue we believe self-serving board member priority,” he said. “We, the union, continue to encourage the board and the community to focus instead on other priorities, like drawing the maps to maximize the diversity of our school board, which hasn t e actly re ected and represented the district s Latino student population for uite some time.” The new map is available at cusd.net.

substitute teacher hires. Last month, the state of California temporarily loosened substitute teacher guidelines to help with shortages. Per Governor Gavin Newsom’s executive order, temporary teaching certiﬁcates can be issued to non-credentialed substitute teachers through March 31. The order also waives some other requirements to allow retired teachers to return to classrooms. “These are short-term challenges that require short-term and targeted solutions,” ewsom said last month.

C SD ssistant Superintendent Maureen Fitzgerald presented the district s first proposed budget for the 2022-2023 school year. final budget will be presented in May, for a final budget adoption at the end of une. Fitzgerald reported $36,537,330 in projected revenues for the 2022-23 general fund, compared to $35,709,649 in expenditures.

Natural History Notes

A study in Northern California found that the closer you approach to harbor seals, and the noisier you are, the more seals ee. bvious Yes, but rigorous science does help focus the obvious. Harbor seals, like all mammals, are individuals, and their reactions to threats vary with genetics, age and experience. In Carpinteria, some night vision counts found more seals than are counted in the day, and clearly some proportion adapt more than others to movement and noises on the pier and from the bluﬀs above. Repeated disturbances cause fewer and fewer seals to return to the beach – both on a daily and long-term basis. The city beach closure was prompted by biologist testimony that showed increased disturbances could cause loss of the rookery, as has happened elsewhere in California.

Disturbances

The sonic boom from the SpaceX launch on Friday frightened all the seals into the ocean. Jet skiers and cars driving rapidly in the pier-turnaround caused additional disturbances. If you walk the beach, please do not hesitate to let people know the seals are not threatened by Covid-19, but they are by human disturbance. For information on Sealwatch, call 0 6 -22 .

More Info

The Carpinteria harbor seal rookery is located immediately east of Casitas Pier, between the Carpinteria Bluﬀs Nature Preserve and Carpinteria State Beach. Please remember not to bring dogs, bicycles or loud voices to view the seals. arbor seals, when disturbed, may ee and become separated from their pups. Volunteers ask that dogs remain outside the rope area at all times. olunteers needed. Call 0 6 -22 or email carpsealwatch gmail.com. To ﬁnd out more, visit carpinteriasealwatch.org.

This student survey is paired with the California School Parent Survey and California School Staﬀ Survey to provide key data on school climate and safety, learning supports and barriers, parent engagement, and student social-emotional development, health and wellbeing. The survey results provide information to guide school improvement eﬀorts for the Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAP) in the areas of enhancing school climate, student engagement, parent involvement and addressing the needs of high-risk students.

Ryan Ethington

At Carpinteria Middle School, students find creative guidance from e pert art teacher Ryan Ethington, who joined the school faculty in 2018 with seven years of teaching experience already under his belt. thington s teaching style emphasizes critical thinking and student-centered learning, drawing on his technical background in graphic design, painting, printmaking and sculpture. “I encourage all students to be an inquirer, to be open minded, take risks, and also to be re ective,” thington said, noting that his classroom is full of projects that help develop visual thinking and social-emotional growth. “I strive to create an environment where students develop an ethic of excellence in their work, positive attitudes, self-confidence. n my class, they learn to collaborate, to understand the art world, learn different cultures, and a little bit of art history.” Ethington grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, attending Point Loma Nazarene University for his bachelors, National University for his teaching credential, and the Academy of Art University, San Francisco, for his master s in fine art. Becoming a teacher was a natural fit for thington, who said he finds oy in

being able to inspire and lead others. thington s grandfather was a veteran and a teacher and encouraged him to pursue education as a career. “ knew teaching would be the perfect career to use my strengths, allowing me to think big, encourage kids, collaborate with others, make a big impact, and teach others to do the same,” he said. thington s ability to connect with his students is no accident; it comes from the heart. “When people hear m a middle school teacher they often thank me and comment, must have a lot of patience,” he said. “ owever, middle school is my jam! I experienced a lot of adverse challenges when I attended middle school and I feel like it has made me a more compassionate, resilient, and understanding middle school teacher.” For Ethington, some of the greatest moments teaching are when his students are in the spotlight for their achievements, such as when the collaborative art piece by his CMS students was brought on stage at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival by the directors of “Ralph Breaks the nternet.” “They even (took it) back to their studio to hang on their wall to inspire their animators,” thington beamed.

HELP of CARPINTERIA

Canalino Elementary School standout teacher, Carolyn Haines, grew up in La Palma, California, in north Orange County. She learned the value in caregiving at a young age from her mother who was a hemodialysis nurse as well as through providing her father a hemodialysis patient with home hemodialysis treatments. arly on, she also knew that her greatest passion would be teaching. “I have always loved learning and loved school,” aines said. “ practically lived at my local public library, reading nearly every book in the children s section by the time was 10 years old. always loved learning new things and dreamed of being a teacher.” aines was the ﬁrst in her family to complete a bachelors, then master s degree. When she moved to Carpinteria in 2015 with her husband Ben and children, Adam and Jeremy, she began substituting for Carpinteria niﬁed School District, where her boys attended school. She fell in love with the elementary classroom and after four years substitute teaching, she earned her Multiple Subject Teaching Credential in 2019. t Canalino, she soon became a fulltime teacher. In addition to her classroom teaching, Haines has led an afterschool STEM program and serves as a technology coach for her colleagues. She is also a Social ustice Committee chairperson for Canalino/ Family School, an issue she feels strongly about and has led her to create inclusive classroom settings for her students.

“Growing up as the daughter of someone with a disability, I have witnessed the cruelty and injustice that people with disabilities e perience,” she said, noting that she is passionate about inclusive education and aims to provide a classroom environment that welcomes all students and celebrates diﬀerences and diversity. “I believe that the classroom belongs to the students,” she added. “My ob is to cultivate an environment where they will grow and learn. empower my students to take ownership of their learning and see themselves as scientists, mathematicians, writers, inventors, e plorers. very lesson I design considers the needs and interests of my students.” Haines said she had many inspirational people in her life as she cultivated her teaching approach, including Canalino principal Jamie Persoon and her sixthgrade teacher Mrs. akamura at Twila Reid lementary School in naheim. She also has learned from her colleagues in Carpinteria, Dezi Mayer and ico Lopez, who teach Special Day Classes, “helping to teach and care for the students with the greatest need.” Haines was surprised to be named as Educator of the Year but is excited for the honor, noting that her students helped keep her positive over the past two years. “Every challenge we face and change we endure, we are in it together, cheering one another on, pushing each other ahead.”

Kate Guede

Santa Barbara-native Kate Guede has an impressive tenure at CUSD. Now entering her 21 st year as an educator (16th at CUSD), Guede teaches Spanish at Carpinteria High School where she has helped students earn top scores in Advanced Placement testing for Spanish Language and Culture, maintaining an over 90% pass rate. She also teaches courses in AVID (Advanced Via Individual Determination), leads the school’s honor society and California Scholastic Federation, and serves as the co-adviser for Spanish Club and chair of the World Language Department. Guede grew up in Santa Barbara listening to her father, who was a teacher, tell stories about his students’ accomplishments. She learned to appreciate the experience of being a part of youth development and growth. “Teaching gives a front row seat to seeing young people achieve and ﬁnd that so exciting,” she said. “Our youth has so much potential and getting to walk with them on their journey is a privilege.” After completing her bachelor’s degree in Spanish at Westmont College, Guede received her teaching credential at CSU Northridge, and went on to complete a

master’s in Educational Technology from zusa Paciﬁc niversity. CHS principal Gerardo Cornejo said that Guede is a teacher whose impact is sizeable, calling her an “educator among educators.” “If you speak to any student who has had Ms. Guede as a teacher, they will tell you that Ms. Guede has made an impact on who they are and who they will be as adults,” Cornejo said. “Ms. Guede takes time to get to know each student, works to encourage students to overcome their individual challenges and to turn them into learning experiences that will only make them stronger and more resilient.” Guede said that she enjoys the educational journey with her students and hopes that they will also understand its importance and value the classroom they create together. “I love seeing kids dream, set goals, and then accomplish them,” she said. “I am always thankful to get to be part of that journey.”

Some books you read for the poetic use of language, some for the characters, some for the stories, and some for the emotional impact. “Circle Way” does each of those things for the reader. Mary Ann Hogan, a journalist and writer has given us a memoir of her family, a family that settled in California in the 1880s. The literary editor of the San Francisco Chronicle spins a mighty thread through multiple generations: great-grandfather, Old Man Hugh, a self-made titan of the lumber business, grandfather Will, a man about the town, not a businessman, and her father, Bill Hogan. Deep emotional ties to land and family frame much of the narrative, interwoven with artwork and writing from her father’s journals. The characters, their successes, their failures, the impacts of each generation on the next, testify to the roads not taken, attempts not made. The author s re ections on her father’s journals, discovered after his death, ﬁll in much of the background as she explores what is truly a saga. Hogan’s abiding love for California when she and her husband and children move to the East Coast is palpable. In

he anishing alf y rit ennett

Days after I finished this book, its words still simmered under my skin. Most of the story takes place in the 1950s in the small town of Mallard, Louisiana, where a community of light-skinned Black families have settled, creating a place for people “who would never be accepted as white but refused to be treated like Negroes.” The Vigne sisters are identical twins, both light-skinned girls with the ability to pass as white. The girls witness their father being lynched by white men when they are children, and they carry this trauma throughout their adolescent and adult lives. When one of the sisters “disappears” to live as a white woman and marry a white man, the story that unfolds brings the question of passing to the forefront. What is the price one pays to leave their past behind to be someone else and what happens to the people left behind? For me, most haunting, is the idea that Bennett makes palpable: what is racial identity and what is at stake in blurring racial lines? Who are we if who we are is malleable? Bennett’s beautifully written novel grapples with these familial, cultural, economic and existential questions providing no clear resolution. — Debra Herrick, managing editor, CVN

Calling all booklovers to help barcode for new library Calling all volunteers for the Great Migration! All items in the Carpinteria Library must have a new barcode aﬃ ed as we transition to an independent city library. There are currently 12,700 books, magazines, DVDs and more, and each one must have its Santa Barbara Public Library label blacked out, a new barcode attached, a new scan completed and the radio tag reset. Each part of this project is simple, but it will take about 1,000 hours to do the job. We will need many hands! Sign up with a friend or make new friends during your shift. The barcoding process will begin on March 15 and must be complete by April 15. If you have two hours to spare, we hope you will join the project, which is the single most time-consuming aspect of becoming an independent library. The volunteer shifts will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Volunteers must be 16 years old or older, and high school students can receive community service hours for their time. The work will be done in the library’s adjoining multipurpose room at 5141 Carpinteria Ave. Sign-ups can be made bit.ly/LibraryBarcode or in person at the library or Friends of the Library Bookstore. I hope you will join us! — Jody Thomas, City Librarian, Carpinteria Community Library

Biofeedback and your health Sleep: ve written about sleep before because it s so important to health and not always valued enough. f you are chronically under sleeping, it may be hard to identify what the repercussions are because many of the biofeedback markers will be low.

CVN

Sleep quality: Sleep uality is how well you slept. f you slept 10 hours but tossed and turned all night or slept si hours but were dead to the world, d argue that the latter was probably better sleep.

WELLNESS WARRIOR LEAH HARDING First thing, first, what is biofeedback t is a mind-body connection to help you improve not only your physical health, but also your mental health. For e ample, when you lose sleep, you may be hungrier the ne t day or have cravings. r, when your stress levels are high, you may notice that your digestion suffers. Those signals from your body hunger, bloating, poor digestion are trying to tell you something. Biofeedback markers help me, as a coach, and you, as someone trying to be healthier, to better understand how your body is responding to different stimuli and changes, whether that is through diet and nutrition, a new workout routine or life changes such as a new ob, relationship or loss. When analyzed closely, you can often find patterns in your behavior and bodily responses you didn t otherwise know e isted. When working with biofeedback, like to have clients use a 1-10 scale, with 10 being optimal. sing a numerical scale helps to process each measure more obectively and standardizes the process so bad moods or being hangry don t sway the results. ere are the markers use

Hunger/cravings: While listed together, these aren t the same. People often conate their perception of hunger and cravings. ou can certainly have one without the other. n fact, the more you pay attention to this, the more you ll start to understand what your body really needs for nourishment. That means you might be eating too much if you re craving but not hungry or too little if you re hungry but not craving . Mood: This marker can be indicative of other things, but you can learn a lot about yourself in how your response corresponds to other biofeedback markers. f your stress increases and you notice it always puts you in a horrible mood, you need to ﬁnd better ways to deal with your stress look for suggestions on how to do this in a future “Wellness Warrior” . Stress: Stress can be personal, work-related, family-related or even physically related like chronic undereating . dentifying your root causes and how your body responds to your stress can be beneﬁcial in becoming a healthier person. Energy: The afternoon slump falls s uarely in this category. f you have good energy, you won t have an afternoon slump.

Rincon visions: Jimmy Metyko

Photographer Jimmy Metyko didn’t live in the 805-area code for long, but his timing was impeccable in terms of surf conditions, surf culture and the surfing talent of his subjects and friends. Between 1980 and 1983, Metyko (b. 1959) captured a critical moment at Rincon Point and the surrounding area, easily comparable in significance to the late sixties of Greenough, Yater and the strong Carpinteria High surf classes that culminated in the events of 1969. A little more than 10 years later, Metyko captured on film another run of great surf, the meteoric rise of Tom Curren and company, and the first heyday of Channel slands Surfboards under Al Merrick. Like several other of the Point’s strongest photographers, Metyko was drawn to the area originally by the twin charms of the Brooks nstitute and Rincon Point. n that bygone era, photography was a world of F-stops, film speed and manual focus, a true craft to be painstakingly mastered in class, on location and in the darkroom. And just like another master shooter, Bernie Baker, who moved to Hawaii with the intention of becoming a Surfer Magazine photographer, Jimmy M. came to our region with the same audacious goal. t s a testament to both Baker and Metyko’s photographic chops and tenacity that they both succeeded. Metyko used his Brooks training to build a successful career in photography and design, with high-powered talent and brands. From his base today outside of Austin, Texas, Metyko designs, shoots and presents campaigns for the collegiate sports market. As with peers like Bill Robbins and Steve Bissell, Metyko found the photography world congenial for its opportunities for creativity and the chance to be one’s own boss. A great career lay in store for Metyko but back in 1980 it was his front-row seat at Rincon and the larger Santa Barbara surf scene that allowed him to document on film the budding partnership between master shaper Al Merrick (b. 1944) and surf phenom Tommy Curren (b. 1964). Both men were destined to become surfing legends of the first order. t s often said that Rincon Point’s long wave is the perfect laboratory for surfboard design and innovation, whether the craftsman is Yater, Greenough or Matt Moore. Such was the case for Merrick whose boards started to catch fire in the late 19 0s. To hear Metyko tell it, it was just being in the

After dropping their first match the arpinteria boys tennis s uad hit their groove this week with three straight wins in a row. The arriors’ week of wins started on the road at hannel slands. espite gusty winds and few drops of rain arpinteria sailed past the aiders - . e handled the windy conditions better than they did and played a smart style of tennis today coach harles Bryant said. Our main focus was to limit our mistakes and do our best to set up for each shot against the ever-changing direction of the ball. yan Sou a led the charge in singles play with a perfect - sweep. Brothers Austin and ax Stone each finished in singles sets while Asher ampel was able to step up and win his only singles set of the day. n doubles the team’s other duo of brothers ucas and Nolan artin were in lockstep together on the court and swept all three sets. Troy immerman and partner Ben ersoon also went - as did the final duo of an Thomas and aiden Juare . ven though it is very early in the season our doubles teams seem to be starting to come into focus Bryant said. The next day the arriors played host to St. Bonaventure on another cold and windy match. oubles play was just as solid with the artin brothers sweeping all sets without dropping a game and Juare winning three sets with two different partners.

n singles play against the Seraphs the Stone brothers once again dominated their sets both finishing - . arpinteria finished the match on top - claiming their second win in a row. The arriors final test of the week would be their toughest as they hit the road to face the defending champion oothill Tech ragons at entura ollege. arpinteria started the day slow trailing - and new doubles partners struggled to get used to each other. e just made way too many easy mistakes whether they be unforced errors double faults or missed returns Bryant said. That just haunted us the whole day but we definitely started to reel in those mistakes in the second and third round. n the second round arpinteria split the six sets but lost the first two in the third round to fall behind - . That’s when we came alive with a strong determination from all of the players to comeback tie up the score and make us count games to see who wins Bryant said. The arriors roared back winning the final singles set and all three doubles sets to even the score at - . After counting total games won arpinteria was awarded the victory - . arpinteria is now - overall heading into a week with two games. The arriors will host San arcos before hitting the road to play illanova.

NOTES ON THE DAY… What kind of wedding did you plan? We had a medium sized, black-tie wedding at the Cottages at Polo Run, on the polo ﬁelds in arpinteria. Our style was modern with a touch of bohemian and we used warm colors such as rusts pinks and oranges. The ottages are the most beautiful venue and the entire bridal party was able to stay in the historic cottages all weekend. uring our ceremony there were horses running behind our altar and it couldn’t have been more magical.

What kinds of modif ications did you have to make f or it to be Covid saf e? or our appeti er we had individual charcuterie boards for our guests which allowed minimal contact during the

serving process. The best part was our guests were able to keep the board which was made from hand carved wood from a dear friend and burned with our logo by oastlands in arpinteria which gives back to high school youth. e also served individual cakes on each table where it was mostly the same family or household. This added a beautiful centerpiece and turned out ama ing. The guests were so happy and the cakes were delicious.

What did your g uests say was their favor ite aspect of the event? think guests particularly liked how involved they were able to be throughout the event. Josh and are blessed to have a circle of friends and family that are a special part of our lives and we wanted to express our gratitude to them by letting them be involved.

ding because we wanted to give our guests the opportunity to dress up and celebrate the biggest day of our lives. We mixed the two themes, black-tie and bohemian which was a bit of a challenge but turned out perfectly. e wanted the relaxed family-style that bohemian provided with the glamour and elegance of black-tie. or my dress chose a timeless look and wore a matte dress with a very long train with rouching over the bodice. y veil extended past my train and was covered in pearls of all si es. e added pearls to the tables cakes and ﬂowers to carry that theme. also wore my mother ’s wedding day pearls for my necklace. felt beautiful and everyone made Josh and feel so loved that day.

students during our engagement, and were working multiple jobs. We were only engaged six months, and so we had so much to do! I think the most stressful part was all the little decisions that needed to be made during the process. I also am creative, and wanted to do a lot of the decor myself. That was fun, but took a lot more time than I had expected!

Why did you choose your ceremony and reception venues? The Cottages at Polo Run were incredible, and once we toured, we knew that was the perfect place to get married. We had the venue for the weekend, which allowed us to spend special time there before the big day with our bridal party and our families. Having grown up in Carpinteria my whole life, it was my biggest request in the wedding process to get married in my town. And at this venue, you can see the

mountains and the ocean, and I felt so at home which was so special.

What part of the meal did people enjoy mos t?

Guicho’s Carpinteria did an incredible job with the catering for our wedding. The food was so delicious, I still have guests come to me talking about it! We had fettuccini Alfredo with chicken, tortellini, lasagna, salad and garlic bread and the guests were so happy. It was elegant and yet still yummy for the kids, and I wouldn’t change anything if I could. Guicho’s staff worked so hard all night and had the best service. We also had Reynaldo’s cater the cakes. They made 16 double layer buttercream cakes with fresh strawberry ﬁlings and pearl candies for decor, and they did such a great job. To tie in our Korean background, we also provided boba and macaroons from Hello Mai Darling and everyone loved having a taste of our favorite snack.

Julianne & Van Latham

NOTES ON THE DAY… H ow did you decide what kind of we dding t o have? From the very beginning of planning, Van and I talked about skipping the organized wedding idea and eloping in Montana. Ne ither of us like to be the center of attention but after this pandemic dragged on longer than expected, we realized we needed to plan a day, casual and comfortable, where our family and friends could sit outside and enjoy some much-needed time together. So that is exactly what we ended up with: 8 0 people, friends and family, gathering outside while socially distanced for a wonderful afternoon/evening. Because our wedding was the ﬁrst gathering for many since Covid/lockdowns began, I believe the isolation of the pandemic made the appreciation of the day even sweeter.

T ell us about some of the special people and moments f rom your wedding. Everyone deserves to have a bride tribe like mine, and it was an incredible privilege to have these four women together for the day. I met two of the four women of my bride tribe on the playground at Canalino Elementary. One I met in seventh grade at Carpinteria J unior High ( in the days before it was a middle school) , and the fourth is my daughter. I enjoyed all the moments of my wedding day and much of that is because of all my bride tribe did to ensure my happiness. From making sure no one contacted me with snafus, to manicures, to helping me into that very tight dress, to holding up my dress as we walked up Ogan Road. They were everything.

What do you think was most special to your g uests about the event?

July 24, 2021

In J uly, there was this magic window when pandemic mandates were relaxed. It was a magic window that allowed for our 8 0-person outdoor gathering to move forward. Our family guests traveled from all across the country, Italy, Scotland and the N etherlands our wedding/family reunion. After a very long and isolating pandemic, I believe our guests enjoyed sitting together outside, eating tacos and drinking Mai Tais and wine. Under the shade of oak and J acaranda trees, we soaked in perfect Carpinteria weather with family and friends again.

Did your wedding include special details that ref lected your individual personalities? The special details we included in our wedding were the Mr/Mrs avocado bride/groom cake toppers ( since Van grows avocados) , colorful pashminas for those cool Carpinteria evenings,

and avocado trufﬂes from CaliBressan.

hocolats du

What was your dress like? My dress was very simple as were my ideas. I did ask my bride tribe if they would wear pink and despite their disdain for pink, they agreed. That was about all I asked. I was not the girl who grew up dreaming of weddings so when I say our wedding was beautiful it is not boastful it’s absolutely a reﬂection of and an enormous compliment to PacWest Blooms ( Suzie Schneider) who planned/ coordinated our day designed the ﬂowers/decor, and who made everything look more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Everything was perfect because Suzie and her family are incredibly talented.

our venue but rather a very kind and generous Joyce Powell shared with us the sort of incredible venue you only dream about. We had been committed to another local venue but late in the process that venue was struggling with Covid protocols. Because of family ties between the Latham/ Bensen a nd Powell families, Joyce learned about our venue trouble and very graciously offered her gardens and her great big, beautiful oak tree for our wedding. It was more than we could have dreamed of, and it made our wedding perfect.

Wedding s can end up f eeling like they’r e for the gue sts instead of the bride and gr oom. What did you do to ensure that the day was wonderful for you? Our wedding was never intended to be about us. We always knew that

we wanted it to be about our guests. Although the ﬁrst minutes were for us we had planned our wedding all along as a Bensen/ Latham family reunion, a th birthday celebration for era and a reunion of Carpinteria High School friends/ colleagues/ teachers. Ten minutes in the spotlight was enough to last the two of us a lifetime!

What advice would you g ive to a couple setting out to plan their wedding? Our best advice would be to make the marriage your focus as you plan, and to make sure you know how your partner feels about the wedding details. E very step of the way, make sure you gage the comfort level of the other person. There is nothing more difﬁcult than being put in an uncomfortable position in front of an audience. Also, just as important, trust your wedding planner!

July 27, 2021 • Vow Renewal

NOTES ON THE DAY… T ell us about your vow renewal. What kind of celebration did you have? We had an outdoor, intimate celebration. We held our vow renewal in my sister’s backyard and kept our guest list to 50 people, mostly all family. Covid-19 allowed us to just focus on a smaller guest list. We wanted to have a very low-key celebration. It turned out just as I imagined itwould. Our goal was to make our guests feel comfortable and make the night about celebrating our 30 years of marriage!

I s there a moment f rom your wedding that stands out f rom all the others? Having our three daughters and both sides of our family there to celebrate with us was very special. One thing that I did prior to the vow renewal was invite my daughters, sisters, mother and one of my best friends, Christina Welch, who was a bridesmaid in my wedding 30 years ago, to help make the centerpieces, my bouquet and my daughters’ ﬂower crowns. e had snacks wine and shared a lot of laughs.

WEDDING & EVENT FLORALS EVENT PLANNING

What did your gue sts say was their favor ite aspect of the event? We had a mid-week evening celebration. Knowing that many of our guests would be coming from work we decided to have cocktail hour ﬁrst. veryone was able to grab a bite to eat, have a drink and mingle. No one felt rushed and then it was an easy transition into the vow renewal.

T ell us about your dress, attire, color concept/ theme. H ow did you decide on that look and fe el for the day? e wanted to be comfortable ﬁrst and foremost. chose to wear a champagne colored A-line wrap dress and Sam chose to wear tan pants and a green collared shirt. I asked my three daughters to stand with us as we said our vows. I let them pick out dresses that they liked. My color palette was neutral. The backyard setting was gorgeous, and I wanted everything to just enhance the evening but not take away from the natural setting.

What was the most stressful as pect leading up to the wedding? The most stressful part of planning was twofold actually. I work with my sister, Suzie, at PacWest Blooms. We do weddings and events for a living and with the California Covid-19 restrictions being lifted for events in J une 2021, our business went from 0 to 300 really quick! Our retail business was already bustling but the opening of the 2021 Wedding Season was unprecedented, and I had a hard time thinking about my event. Secondly, since we are in the industry and see many types of events I didn’t want to overdo or create something that didn’t reﬂect our personalities.

Did you have to put out fires during the event? Z ero problems! I had the best team on my side with PacWest Blooms and my family coordinating everything!

Why did you choose your ceremony and reception venues? I chose my sister’s house for a couple of reasons. Covid-19 was still affecting how we held celebrations at restaurants, and since we were having our celebration on a Tuesday evening, we wanted to keep everything in one location.

What part of t he meal did people enjoy mos t? t was all fantastic

e had charcuterie cups and wood ﬁred pi

as.

Weddings can end up fe eling like they’r e for the gue sts instead of the bride and gr oom. What did you do to ensure that the day was wonderful for you? I kept everything simple! All decisions were made ahead of time and my planners (Su zie and Brian) could make the best decisions on my behalf because we had already discussed what I wanted.

What is your top piece of advic e for couples planning a w edding? Hire a wedding coordinator! All weddings, no matter the size, have a lot of moving parts. No t having to worry about vendor management was a huge relief for me. Having a professional that can execute your vision from beginning to end is gold.

NOTES ON THE DAY… Congr atulations! T ell us about your wedding. We are not much for planning or for detail. We had a fairly big wedding here in Carpinteria with around 140 people. It was a simple, beautiful celebration of our love and marriage – a joyful party surrounded by family and friends.

Initially, we were going to have our reception indoors to cut costs on rentals, but in the end, we decided to have our entire wedding outdoors to enjoy the fresh air and allow for greater distancing. Dancing the night away under the string lighting and stars was the perfect ending to the evening.

The moment right after we were pronounced husband and wife. We walked down the aisle hand in hand to the chorus of “True” by George Strait and embraced while our bridal party funneled into the room, cheering all around us. Our wedding coordinator, Suzie, took an amazing video of this moment, and we are so thankful she captured it for us.

T ell us about your dress and color palette. Amanda fell in love with her dress the moment she saw it on the mannequin and had to wait almost two years to wear it on the special day. The color scheme was quartz and navy, and we aimed to tie this into our simple, rustic décor.

The most stressful aspect leading up to the wedding was hoping that local guidelines would allow us to have our ceremony. Initially, we were supposed to be married in September 2020 but had to postpone. Acceptance of things beyond our control was helpful, and our decision to have the entire wedding outdoors helped to better solidify the moving pieces that remained.

hy did you hoose your ere ony and re eption venues? We chose Lions Park for our venue due to its beautiful, local outdoor location where we could comfortably have our ceremony and reception. It’s an affordable location, and we highly recommend considering them for your wedding or event. Kat was organized and so helpful with personalizing the space. Our coordinator, Suzie, helped bring the vision to life with her rentals (the arch was a showstopper) and color scheme.

NOTES ON THE DAY… T ell us about the wedding you dreamed of and then the wedding that you had. Jo n and I had our wedding date set to be April 8, 2021. We were going to have over 200 of our closest family and friends. J on played baseball at Virginia Tech so we had plans for all his buddies to ﬂy out to California and join us for the celebration. Our wedding was going to be held at Rincon Beach Club in Carpinteria. It is a beautiful rustic outdoor venue. J on and I held out as long as possible, but due to Covid, my husband and I chose to elope with our parents and siblings by our side. We postponed our reception with all our extended friends and family to this coming April 8, 2022, which will be our one-year anniversary! Even though we postponed our celebration with our favorite friends and family, we were adamant about still marrying one another. That is why we decided to elope. We had eight of the

most wonderful people in our lives there to witness our marriage: our parents, our siblings and my grandpa. We held the elopement with the help and coordination of PacWest Blooms at Ellwood Bluffs in G oleta. It was a perfect California day that was ﬁlled with so much love. ven though we were not able to have our extended friends and family, J on and I were blessed with sharing our intimate vows with our immediate family at our side. I truly could not have pictured a more perfect day and evening with my new husband and our beautiful families. I reminisce everyday about our wedding.

Are there any ways that you think your wedding was even better f or these odifi ations? Truthfully, the day of the elopement was pure bliss. I woke up that morning feeling overwhelmed with so much gratitude. Having only brothers, I got to get ready the morning of with just my mom. It was so special. We shared so many tears and hugs. That afternoon, I married the most kind and caring man. It was

train. I thought when trying on dresses I would purchase a dress ﬁlled with lace and detail, but when I tried on my dress I didn’t want to take it off! I fell in love.

Tell us about your dress, attire,

The most stressful aspect leading up to the wedding was the constant back and forth on whether or not we should go ahead with the wedding or put it off another year. It is so heartbreaking and difﬁcult to make that decision when you have already booked vendors and envisioned your wedding day. I remember before ultimately deciding to push back the wedding, I would say to my husband, “let’s just wait one more day, just one more day before deciding.” J on and I both have the most amazing set of friends and family who constantly encouraged and supported us with whatever decision we made. After now pushing back the wedding and having the elopement, I would have not done it any other way. N ow I get to wear my wedding dress

With the incredible help of my beautiful mother and PacWest Blooms, we brainstormed ideas to create a beautiful elopement setting on the Ellwood Bluffs. We kept the colors neutral and brought out a burlap rug chairs and ﬂorals to decorate an open, outdoor area we scoped out days prior. We had a small table on the left that chilled champagne, beers and held our wedding cake. It was simply perfect! My dress was from Moondance Bridal and was a simple, low back crepe dress. It has buttons that led to the bottom of the

Why did you choose your ceremony and reception venues? Did they work well with your vision? Our elopement was held on the Ellwood Bluffs in G oleta. Y ou can’t compete with the beauty of this area. We had perfect blue skies and views of both the mountains and the ocean. We were surrounded by our family and a big open ﬁeld. t was truly picture perfect. hen scoping out the area we originally chose a section on the bluffs overlooking the ocean, however the wind had different plans. At the last minute, PacWest Blooms set up closer to the open ﬁeld facing the mountains. The views that were captured were stunning. The area is a dream and highly recommend it to anyone looking to elope.

What part of the meal did people enjoy m ost?

After our beautiful sunset elopement on the bluffs, we cruised over to the RitzCarlton Bacara with our families. We indulged in wonderful appetizers and main courses at Angel Oak. We loved every bite of food we ate. The scallops were amazing and my brother-in-law got the A Japanese agyu. ow t melted in your mouth like butter. So, so delicious! would not change a thing

What is your top piece of advice f or couples planning a wedding? The wedding day that you have been diligently planning and preparing for goes by so fast. My best piece of advice is to truly take in every single moment of the day and be present. Really look around at everyone who is there and think about how much they mean to you. Take in how much you love your signiﬁcant other and how amazing you feel at that very moment. Y our wedding day is the beginning of a beautiful adventure with the person you love.
