Chamber to hold Croatia trip preview

CVN

BRIEFLY

Plans for the Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce’s upcoming guided tour of Croatia will be presented at an informational preview on Monday, March 26 at 5:30 p.m. at the chamber office, 1056 Eugenia Place, Suite B. The trip, scheduled for Oct. 30 to Nov. 6, is designed to give travelers a taste of the history, cuisine and culture of Croatia.

Participants can look forward to seven nights in first class hotels and sightseeing that includes four UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Among the highlights are two nights in Split, an ancient town built by the Romans on the Dalmatian Coast, plus a tour of Diocletian’s Palace. The cost is $3,150 per person for double occupancy and includes roundtrip airfare from Los Angeles, first class hotel accommodations, 12 meals, professional tour escort, baggage handling and sightseeing with admission to all attractions. RSVPs are requested (although not required). To learn more or RSVP, visit carpinteriachamber.org or call Joyce at 684-5479.

Former fire chief retires

After 32 years fighting fires, Jim Rampton hung up his helmet last week and retired from his position as a battalion chief at Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District. The third-generation firefighter spent the last five years of his career at CSFPD, where he held the job of interim chief from June 2015 to October 2016 while the district sought a permanent replacement for Chief Mike Mingee, a job that Rampton declined. He had led the South Davis Metro Fire Agency in Utah prior to coming on board at CSFPD, and his move west allowed him to be closer to family and put him back in the action after spending years as an administrator behind a desk.

Rampton found the work at CSFPD to be rewarding for its diversity of calls and the camaraderie of the crews. Now he’s again ready for change. “I’d like to find that new adventure,” he said. His firefighting days are over, but he may pursue teaching or some other role that allows him to give back. He said that Carpinteria’s district has a bright future if the three-station model can be implemented to reduce response time throughout its long, narrow territory.

Carpinteria’s risk downgraded, recent storms lighter than feared

The Thomas Fire burn area escaped another threat this week after public safety officials issued a mandatory evacuation ahead of the March 13 morning storm. The storm failed to produce the intense rain anticipated, and the evacuation order was lifted midmorning on March 13. Two storms on the horizon are expected to deliver just ½- to 1-inch of rainfall in intermittent showers between March 14 to 17.

Recent edits to the county’s debris flow risk map for Carpinteria have downgraded large portions of the valley from Extreme High Risk to High Risk. “Each storm since the Jan. 9 Debris Flow adds to our understanding and ability to make decisions to keep residents safe, evacuate residents only when necessary, and return residents home as soon as possible,” said Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown. Visit ReadySBC.org to access an interactive evacuation map or call the Public Information Call Center at (833) 688-5551 for assistance.

With Russian election meddling ever present in the news, the League of Women Voters of Santa Barbara will host a timely informational forum on Wednesday, March 21 from noon to 2 p.m. about the safety of elections from outside manipulation. Santa Barbara County Clerk and Recorder Joe Holland will share his research including a list of Frequently Asked Questions. In addition, Elena Aronova, Russian expert and professor at UCSB, will talk about her experience and knowledge of the 2016 election anomalies. Marty Blum, former Mayor of Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara City College Board member, will moderate the forum in the Faulkner Gallery at the Santa Barbara Public Library. The public is invited to bring questions for the panelists to answer.

California Avocado Festival Celebrating 32 Years with the Carpinteria Community

The California Avocado Festival’s all volunteer Board of Directors and Board President Gary Dobbins wish to thank the citizens of the Community of Carpinteria for bestowing upon our festival guests the Carpinteria Charm Q. What is the Avocado Festival?

A. The California Avocado Festival is Carpinteria’s largest family friendly community celebration and one of the largest free festivals in the country. It’s expected to attract more than 100,00 people this year. This year the event will take place October 5th-7th on Linden Ave. from Carpinteria Ave. to 6th Street.

With strong emphasis on maintaining a “Carp first” event, our success stems from the idea of celebrating everything that makes Carpinteria special: Delicious avocado inspired food, a wide variety of music, being a platform for local nonprofits and service organization to raise funds for their worthy causes, and most importantly, our dedication to raising scholarship funds for local youth in the areas of music, culinary arts, fine arts, and agriculture.

In addition, not only is it a large festival, but it is also a “green” festival. We have really worked diligently to reduce the carbon footprint in leading a “Zero Waste” festival. We divert virtually 100% of the waste to either recycling or composting instead of the landfill.

Q. Who runs the CA Avocado Festival (AvoFest)?

A. There are seven volunteer Board of Directors, hundreds of volunteers and one paid administrator.

The 2018 Board members are: Gary Dobbins, our President for the last 5 years, Gregg Carty, Mike Lazaro, Emily Miles, Anthony Staal, and Richard Tinkstrom.

Our Volunteer committee chairs are an essential part of the festival.

We could not make it happen without them. We want to make sure they know how much they are loved and how grateful we are to have them! Geri Carty, Marybeth Carty, Annette Fisher, Robert Godfrey, Shiela Hess, Kim Homan, Carie Smith, Stephanie Medel, John Nicoli, Steve Sullivan, and Tracy Wilkie.

Q. How does the Chamber of Commerce come into play?

A. The Chamber is a supporter of Avofest, and we appreciate their efforts. We have historically paid them for their services in recruiting volunteers for the beer booths. This year, we have opened up the “Beer Booth Volunteer Recruitment Team” for bidding from all local non-profit, service organizations and businesses.

Q. Does the City of Carpinteria do any of the planning?

A. The City is a huge supporter of the festival; they are a vital partner in public safety. We have multiple meetings with fire, police, public works, and city planners to ensure we are in compliance and all Carpinterians and festival-goers are safe.

Q. How much does it cost to run the festival?

A. Approximately $350,000 – 400,000

Q. Where does that money come from?

A. Roughly speaking; 26% comes from booth fees, 24% from beer sales, 20% from merchandise sales, 19% from sponsorships and 6% from ice cream sales.

Our focus for 2018 is to increase sponsorships to decrease booth fees and allow more of our local non-profits a platform to raise money.

Q. The AvoFest is a big festival – where does all the money go?

A. Administrator and operating costs throughout the year. Festival expenses, such as insurance, security, waste removal, tent rentals, stages, lights…etc. The remainder of the funds that are raised goes back into our local community in multiple ways.

• Scholarships – We gave 4 scholarships with the help of CEF in 2017 • Donations - Last year donations were given to: Bands Forever, Warrior Football, Carpinteria Future Farmer’s of America, and DAWG to name a few.

• AvoFest is a Carp-Strong event and focused on helping our local Carpinteria companies/ non-profits especially after losing business during the Thomas Fire/Debris Flow.

• We strive to give discounted or even free booth spaces to local non-profits and service organizations to raise funds in their own way. This is directly related to the amount of sponsorship money we receive. If we receive plenty of sponsorships to cover our costs, than it is easier to do.

Q. How can people get on the list for a grant/donation?

A. Fill out an application on our website and/or feel free to write us a letter about your non-profit, what your mission statement is and what the funds will be used for.

Q. Do you ever think about how it consumes our little town of Carpinteria for 3 days?

A. Yes, and we want to send a HUGE THANK YOU to the community members for letting us use the beautiful backdrop to host the event.

Although the festival certainly brings in a large crowd, the fundraising money and economy boost outweighs the little extra burden for three days. All of the hotels fill to capacity and the vast majority of businesses see a significant increase in sales. All of this brings TOT taxes and sales taxes that help fund our City. We look at the festival as a wonderful celebration of our city, our non-profit, and of course the avocado.Along with the scholarships, donations and a platform for the local non-profits to make money, we’ve done numerous studies over the years, and during the festival weekend our local businesses’ sales rise by 30-40%. The hotels and the campground are booked solid, and having the festival here does open the window for tourism throughout the year.

The Board of Directors realized the crowds were getting a little large and stopped all advertisement outside of the Santa Barbara area to help crowd control. We also offer parking at the high school, doggie daycare and we pay for extra security to do our best to keep everyone safe.

The more sponsorship moneys we raise, the more local and smaller we can keep the festival. If you are interesting in becoming a sponsor, a volunteer, a vendor, or provide entertainment, please check out our website, www.Avofest.com, email info@avofest.com or call us at 805-684-0038.

Stop the tree slaughter

CVN

The first time I drove down 7th Street and saw the canopy and shade of the stone pines, I felt this calm awe at the gift of these trees.

Seventh Street in Carpinteria has become more and more depressing. The more stone pines that are killed, chopped down and removed, the worse the poor street looks and feels. In the heat of the summer, no more shade. The appeal of the street is slowly becoming lost in the sawdust of decades-old trees, never to return.

Sure there are problems with the trees.

But how does Santa Barbara handle Anapamu with blocks of stone pines living side-by-side with residences, streets and sidewalks? I would be happy to help find a solution. Meanwhile, please, please, do not kill any more of these beauties.

Carol Wallin Carpinteria

Build the office, but keep the trees

Trees are an important part of any community. Besides being attractive, they provide oxygen and contribute to good air quality and reduce erosion. In summer months, trees absorb heat and their canopies provide shade and respite from the wind. Most importantly, trees provide wildlife habitat in urban areas.

Carpinteria Sanitary District is proposing to build a 4,118-square-foot office and intends to remove nine healthy trees even though the trees are not in the way of their massive building. These trees can be seen for miles, and their beauty increases our quality of life in Carpinteria.

In the March 2018 Smithsonian magazine, Richard Grant relates scientific studies which show that through underground fungal networks, trees communicate with each other, sharing water and nutrients. Another researcher, Suzanne Simard of Canada, demonstrates that trees collaborate with each other, helping and protecting each other and their environment.

Please attend the ARB meeting on Thursday, March 15, at 5:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers and voice your opinion. These trees deserve to live together as they have for decades.

Louise Hansen Carpinteria

Needed now more than ever

In his book, “The Trees Speak: An Interpretive self-guided tour of Carpinteria’s Trees, Parks, and Public Places,” Dan Condon saves the best for last. Stop 35 is “one of Carpinteria’s oldest and most interesting tree groupings” on 6th Street in the open space between the Sanitary District and Lou Grant Parent-Child Workshop. Here the magnificent Portola Sycamore has stood for nearly 300 years surrounded by 100-foot- high healthy Eucalyptus and magnificent, mature

Letters

“Ironically, the trees’ fate is being decided now after the Thomas Fire has destroyed much of our surrounding habitat, leaving our city’s mature trees as a last refuge for many birds and other creatures struggling to survive. As an ecologist I have to ask: Is this the right time to chop down some of the last standing giants?”

––Nancy Baron palms. These natural skyscrapers provide homes and habitat for red tailed hawks, owls, songbirds and threatened monarch butterflies.

Yet the Carpinteria Sanitary District wants to dismember this historic tree grouping to build a larger office. It proposes to remove sweeping branches of the Portola sycamore that have rooted as this giant has spread, as well as cut down nine huge nearby trees. None of these healthy trees impede the building expansion, but nevertheless they face the chainsaw out of the district’s fear of liability should a branch suddenly drop.

If this sounds absurd, consider the history of this land, which was initially taken under imminent domain to become a park. Why not honor that intent in the district’s plans by saving these historic trees that are beloved, not feared, by those closest to them—the neighbors who are fighting to save them. Ironically, the trees’ fate is being decided now after the Thomas Fire has destroyed much of our surrounding habitat, leaving our city’s mature trees as a last refuge for many birds and other creatures struggling to survive. As an ecologist I have to ask: Is this the right time to chop down some of the last standing giants? Please attend the meeting of the Architectural Review Board on March 15 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, to support the neighbors and speak for the trees.

Not my table

I was interested to read last week’s CVN Viewpoint entitled “Taking a seat at the table: Our time is now,” and I found it disturbing. The group says they are nonpartisan, which means “not biased,” but they are filled with bias and prejudices.

They say they are about promoting and supporting women for office. But that is not true. Like most women’s movements today, they only support women who think like them. They are not for women, they are for promoting “our progressive values.” They believe women are the avenue for accomplishing that. But women are not a voting block. They tend to make

And another thought, isn’t the whole idea of representation that you listen to your constituents? You were not sent to Washington or to Sacramento to represent yourself, your ideas, your values and your agenda. You are supposed to be representing the people in your community and you do that by listening to them.

I didn’t see that anywhere as part of their values.

Red carpet treatment

Thanks to all the volunteers at the Alcazar Theatre who put the Academy Awards on the big screen for fans. I went to check it out and stayed for the entire program, comfortable in the theater seating and happy to see and hear all the details in larger-than-life format. I hope they will continue this gift to the community by making it an annual event. They opened the theater doors, put out the red carpet and let the community enjoy the show for free on a Sunday afternoon.

What a treat. Thank you Alcazar Theatre!

NRA clout must be toppled

Yes, one for Trump. During the sitdown session Trump recently held with bi-partisan legislators in the wake of the Parkland, Florida school massacre, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Conn. said to the president, “I think you underestimate the power of the Gun Lobby,” to which Trump replied, “They have great power over you people (legislators). They have less power over me.” That dialog confirms the open secret of how the NRA works. Basically, it exercises a strangling hold on legislators via contributions or ad campaigns to promote or oppose a candidate who is for or against their “cause.” The NRA is of course backed by the gun manufacturers. It’s obvious that they can’t exert that much influence solely from membership dues (about 4 million members at $40 per year, for about $165 million in 2013).

Up to now, Trump has enjoyed a very high rating from the NRA, as has Governor Rick Scott of Florida. But now, they have taken positions contrary to the NRA.

I’m not sure how the NRA can oppose or threaten individuals who are not politically vulnerable. Governor Scott will be running for the U.S. Senate precisely on the basis of the mass shooting and what he did to mitigate future ones. That can prove immensely favorable to his run. As for Trump, in spite of recent indications, he may not care if he’s elected again, given all his current and future political troubles.

If the students from Florida are clever and figure out how to pick out and embarrass legislators who take NRA money, the game is over. After so many mass shootings and children killed, I’m not sure how the NRA will successfully maintain the scare tactic of the erosion of our 2nd Amendment right for a “well regulated militia” to keep and “bear arms.”

Carlos Brens Carpinteria

Shame, shame, I know your name

Isn’t it ironic that we might never have known about the criminal and treasonous enterprises President Donald Trump and his family are involved with until he was elected president? First the FBI investigation and now the Mueller investigation are beginning to expose both the Trump family and his administration of treasonous collusion and blatant corruption with Russia of a width and scope that is beyond belief. Russian oligarchs, money laundering, conspiracy and fraud are just some of the crimes the Trumps are suspected of; all with the implicit approval of the Republican Party, the Evangelicals and Fox News. The stench of hypocrisy is overwhelming. Shame on all of them for turning a blind eye to all of this administration’s treachery and corruption!

Trump’s first year has been an unremitting parade of disgraces that has demeaned him as well as the dignity of the office. He is the first president to fail to defend our nation from an attack on our democracy by a hostile foreign power and to resist the investigation of that attack. He is the first to enrich his private interests and those of his family, directly and openly. He is the first to denounce the press as not only unfair but as an “enemy of the people.” He is the first to threaten his political opponent with imprisonment. He is the first to have denigrated friendly countries and allies as well as whole continents with racist vulgarities.

If history is any guide, Trump’s first year portends a very unhappy ending.

Founding Father John Adams authored this: “Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity and happiness of the people and not for the profit, honor or private interest of any one man, family or class of men.” This is something Trump cannot ever understand.

OPEN LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY If you have driven down Casitas Pass Road near the fruit stand, surely you have noticed the pungent odor of cannabis. On rainy days, the cloud cover persistently traps the smell in Carpinteria, a smell which permeates beyond the “buffer” zone.

Perhaps you are unaware that the County of Santa Barbara recently passed one of the most lenient Commercial Cannabis Ordinances in the State.There are many factors that have kept the majority of our community in the dark.

Without a broadly read daily newspaper of record, there are relatively limited means to distribute critically important information about the County’s activities.

And, understandably, the historic Thomas Fire and ensuing debris flows have pulled public attention away from other County issues.

While the majority of the population of Santa Barbara County has been justifiably focused on the Thomas Fire, the floods, and the debris flows, the County has been busy signing off on “temporary licenses” for cannabis growers.

As a result, there have been more temporary licenses issued in Carpinteria than any other county (including Humboldt) in the state. We have unwittingly become the Cannabis Capital of California.

While voters in the County largely supported Prop 64, the state law permitting personal and medical cannabis use, our County has gone even further by allowing large scale commercial cultivation and industrial manufacturing in our own backyard. In contrast, most counties have banned commercial cultivation due to its adverse impacts (including Ventura County); others have imposed reasonable limits on the number of operations (including San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles County). Santa Barbara County is one of the only counties allowing both unlimited cannabis operations and vertical integration, which will allow this drug to be grown, manufactured (using dangerous chemicals), and distributed on agriculturally zoned land. Say goodbye to our lemons, avocados, and flowers.

We understand that Santa Barbara County is in dire need of funds due to its significant projected budget deficit, which has been exacerbated by the projected shortfall in Montecito property tax revenue. Despite a series of reports from consultants about the limited and widely variable income likely to be derived from cannabis operations, and multiple warnings from law enforcement about the drawbacks of welcoming the industry -- including increased risk to public safety and the presence and influence of organized crime -- the County seems to be banking on cannabis as a means to pay its bills.

That’s a risky gamble, especially when we consider what could be lost in this gambit. Carpinteria is no longer the bucolic town it once was. Major security fences now obscure former flower businesses. Our air is befouled. Traffic has increased and Casitas Pass Road is a virtual parking lot as roads are filled with cars belonging to cannabis employees. This is just the beginning now that the County has created perhaps the most cannabis-friendly environment in the State.While we commend the County for attempting to address unregulated and illegal cannabis activities, the solution is not to welcome an unlimited number of growers into the County.

We at Cate School have been fighting since this issue was introduced and continue to advocate for strict odor controls on greenhouses and a ban on outdoor cannabis growing in the Coastal Zone.We continue to urge the County Supervisors to protect Carpinteria by adopting caps on the amount of land that can be cultivated in order to protect our unique Valley and coastal resources.We urge you to attend next Tuesday’s hearing in Santa Barbara to express support for reasonable caps on cannabis operations.The Carpinteria community needs to be aware of these new developments in cannabis licensing.

Because the Coastal Commission has not yet approved the County’s Ordinance, there is also still time to contact our Coastal Commissioner and register concern. Our Commissioner is Erik Howell: (415) 904-5202, Erik.

Howell@coastal.ca.gov.

Also, while the ordinance is being implemented, you may call the County (Steve Mason at 805-568-2070) to register complaints if you smell cannabis odors, suspect illegal or noncompliant operations, or experience other adverse impacts.

Finally, over the next year, the community should pay attention as new cannabis operations sprout up and comment on the efficacy of the County’s cannabis regulations. Remember, the County may impose additional restrictions on cannabis growers, and thus citizens should use their voices to demand regulations that adequately protect the residents and organizations in our idyllic coastal community. There is too much at stake here, and we can be distracted no longer.

Council moves sales tax measure toward ballot

By Lea Boyd

Momentum continues toward a Carpinteria sales tax ballot measure that would increase the cost of a cup of coffee by a couple cents and add $2 million to the city’s general fund each year. The Carpinteria City Council voted unanimously at its March 12 meeting to conduct community meetings and hire a consultant to help with public outreach.

A 2017 study found that the city needs an additional $1.5 million in order to keep services and infrastructure at current levels. By initiating a 1.25-cent per dollar sales tax, the city anticipates meeting that need with a revenue stream shouldered by visitors and locals.

“It wouldn’t be just a good thing for Carpinteria, it would be a great thing,” said Councilman Gregg Carty.

A new sales tax would require the approval of over 50 percent of voters within the City of Carpinteria, and a recent survey of 414 Carpinterians found that a high level of support already exists. Fiftyeight percent of the respondents would “probably” or “definitely” vote in favor of the increase.

For years, the city’s park and road maintenance costs have exceeded their dedicated revenue streams and required deep dips into the city’s general fund.

Though reserve accounts remain healthy now, projections indicate that they will be drawn down to dangerous levels in coming years if the city fails to find other income sources, a situation that City Manager Dave Durflinger described as “a cancer eating at our financial position.”

Other fiscal challenges facing the city are the rising cost of the law enforcement contract with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department and the growing level of support that Carpinteria Branch Library has needed to remain operational six days a week. Representing Friends of the Carpinteria Library, Gaby Edwards told the council that the library now faces a $147,000 shortfall for the coming year and encouraged the council to put the tax increase on the ballot. “We think it’s a great measure, and we’re here to help,” she said.

By adding 1.25 cents to the existing tax the city would double its portion of the 7.75 cents now collected for every dollar spent, and Carpinteria would join the 137 other cities throughout the state that have sales tax levels at or above 9 percent.

Visitors and tourists, who add wear and tear to roads and use parks and other city services, account for about half of Carpinteria’s sales tax revenue through their spending on gas, restaurant meals and groceries. Sharing the tax hike with visitors was viewed favorably by the vot-

ers surveyed.

Councilmembers voiced strong support for the tax, but noted that neither the city nor its representatives can legally campaign for the measure. Yet the city can educate the public about the financial challenges faced and the potential benefits of the tax in the time before the council officially decides to put the measure before voters—a move likely to take place in May.

Stories behind the faces CVn

a monthly muse melinda wittwer People watching—for me this happens mostly in airports or in any other public areas where I’m forced to wait, bored. I start examining people, looking for unusual characters or couples or families, and then I seek out their stories. Sometimes the story is clearcut, but often I have to look for clues, read facial expressions, try to listen in to conversations or simply make things up.

The truth is we all have a story—a story with parts we want to share, parts we want to hide and parts we want to tear up and silently discard into the “not available” zone.

I was sitting just inside the LAX baggage claim area a few months ago waiting for the shuttle to bring me home when a fully robed woman sat next to me. We didn’t speak; we didn’t even let our eyes meet.

I certainly couldn’t tell much about her because she was covered from head to toe with robes and scarves. I was surprised by my reaction—one of discomfort. Was this woman safe? Or did she have explosives taped to her body? Could she speak English? Was she born here in the States or were her loyalties with a foreign country? Did she have children? Was she living under the thumb of some over-bearing husband?

I had just recently spent a week in Morocco. Where was my broad acceptance of cultures different from my own? Before I could pull myself together, the woman removed herself from the seat next to me, probably wondering why such a nervous person like me had ever gotten on a plane in the first place, and I was reminded that fears and misunderstanding can move in both directions.

Last weekend, we were having a lazy Sunday brunch, drinking coffee and reading the Sunday Times. There was a large table full of locals next to us. One of the eaters was a lovely older woman, fully decked out in a lavender pantsuit and a broad-brimmed hat. Being the shameless person I am, I listened into their conversa-

tion and learned that the charming lady had just celebrated her 90th birthday. Her nephew was treating her to breakfast, and she was listing all of her planned activities for the next week. This lavender lady appeared to be such a positive personality that I vowed to be just like her—way into the future when I turn 90.

As a teacher, I’ve had many opportunities to observe seventh-graders as they passed through my classroom. Each one of them had a unique story that evolved from home life, friends, socio-economic background, intelligence, coordination and natural beauty. One young man, I was warned by the counselor, was a bit unstable.

His mother had died. His dad had remarried, and now there was a baby sister. This student was trying to come to grips with the loss of his mother. He just couldn’t handle a stepmom and new sister too. He would do well for a while and then just shut down or explode or run away. He sat by my desk for a whole year and hugged me good-bye in June, yet I am still haunted by the fact I do not know how his story evolved. I hope it has many happy turns. I’m worried it does not.

Perhaps the hardest place to people watch is in a clinic or doctor’s waiting room. The majority of people do not like visiting a doctor—getting blood taken, getting weighed, getting shots, getting test results and striving to stay positive.

This discomfort or worry shows on their faces. I’m certain it shows on mine. Several women, including myself, were in a small waiting room anticipating a very uncomfortable procedure. One woman, younger than I, was so nervous she made me nervous. I started chatting, sharing a bit of my experiences, and slowly she relaxed.

She could see that I had lived through one or two of these procedures and so became hopeful that she would too.

I admit I get a lot of entertainment out of people watching, but it’s beginning to worry me that I’m not the only person out there that is interested in all these stories.

It’s slowly dawning on me that when I’m trying to “read” a stranger’s story, she might also be trying to read mine.

Nature preserve to road yard?

Once upon a time, Greenwell Preserve, the peaceful little green space behind Summerland, was a county road yard.

That corner of Greenwell Avenue and Asegra Road rang with the clamor of trucks and equipment at work. Stinky piles of asphalt smoked in the sun. That was more than 20 years ago, and it took a grassroots effort to redeem the environmentally sensitive area and convert it to a preserve.

Public Works would like to utilize part of the preserve as a “department operations center.” The location is highly desirable should a further debris event occur. In his pitch to the Greenwell Preserve committee, Matt Dobberteen, Alternative Transportation Manager for Public Works, said that something like 2 million cubic yards of material could yet come roaring down from the burn areas.

The county-owned land, supervised by the Parks Division, is under lease to the Summerland Citizens Association for 20 years. The two buildings on the site are used by several nonprofits (mostly for storage), including the SCA, Montecito 84-4428 Trails, Montecito Historic Archives and the Carpinteria Valley Association.

An operations center on site would require office space for contractors, engi-

neers and workers, and a storage yard for to remove debris created by the Monteequipment and materials, such as K-rails cito flood. According to Dobberteen, the (long cement barriers).

On March 3 at approximately 8 p.m. a deputy was dispatched to the 4900 block of Carpinteria Avenue on a report of an intoxicated man in his 40s, wearing a brown frayed jacket and blue jeans, picking a fight. The deputy found a man who fit the description, leaning against a signpost with a 24-ounce can of Bud Light beer in his hand. The deputy took It’s the Gift that the beer from the man, poured it out and Gives Ways had him sit on theBoth ground. Heavily intoxicated, the man admitted to drinking “a lot,” according to the report, and that he had consumed vodka as well as the beer.

Since the man was barely coherent and the deputy judged him unable to care for himself, he was arrested and transported to Santa Barbara County Jail.

Thu In a case of domestic violence, I fell and fractured my humerus last month.

The accident occurred at home, in the kitchen, and a hard fall on a tile floor certainly felt violent. The perpetrator was the dishwasher door, which had drifted open. I knew it had a tendency to do this, but I was preoccupied at the sink, trying to scrub, of all things, a brass bell. I turned to carry it away and vaulted over the open door.

There was a giant clang as the bell went flying, and I landed on my shoulder and back, one leg still hung up on the door.

No response from my husband Roger in the front room, completely absorbed in the sports page. I screeched his name, but he couldn’t do much. I had to lie there on the tile and pant for a while before I could us for a free community educati let him Join help me move.

On March 3 at approximately 12: 45 a.m. a deputy spotted a SUV parked with its lights on in a bank parking lot near the intersection of Linden and Carpinteria avenues. Noting that he’d seen the vehicle in the parking lot with its lights on earlier in the night, the reporting deputy went to investigate. A man was asleep in the driver’s seat with the keys in the ignition and the radio playing. Upon being woken up the man was incoherent and had a strong odor of alcohol about him.

The man said he’d been at a pub and had had some beers. When the deputy told the man that he was having a hard time understanding him because he was slurring his words, the man reportedly said, “Yeah, I know.” The man attempted to give the deputy his bank card for ID, and when asked to step out of his vehicle he was unsteady on his feet. “It was obvious he could not care for his safety or the safety of others,” the deputy noted in his report. The man was arrested, his car left parked at the scene, and he was transported to Santa Barbara County Jail.

An elated Jeremy Saito was named Junior Carpinterian of the Year at Saturday night’s Community Awards Banquet. As soon as the announcement was made, Saito rushed to hug runners up and fellow Carpinteria high School seniors Mikayla Blair and Anna Artiaga.

In his acceptance speech, Saito thanked teachers Mrs. Bianchin and unruh for helping to inspire his passion for music. he also credited his parents for “always being there for me, motivating me and helping me become the person I am today.”

Saito embodies the well-rounded high school student. he maintains a 4.41 academic GPA while playing varsity tennis, participating in several clubs, volunteering in the community and playing the saxophone and clarinet.

And the award goes to…

Asa Olsson receives top honor

BY Lea BoYD asa olsson’s signature radiance got a wattage boost last saturday night when she accepted the surprise honor of Carpinterian of the year at the Community awards Banquet held at the Carpinteria Boys & Girls Club. The Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce event highlighted first responders and other outstanding members of the community before the grand finale, which was the announcement that after nearly four decades of passionate local volunteerism in theater and with youth, Olsson had been selected for one of the community’s top honors.

“It’s such an honor, beyond comprehension,” said the shocked Olsson as she addressed the crowd of 300-plus. When she arrived in Carpinteria 38 years ago, Olsson told the crowd, she had “found something that is really hard to find,” a place where if you want to implement an idea to benefit youth, the community will always say “yes!”

Keeping with tradition, last year ’s honoree Paul Wright offered the crowd clues before announcing the name of this year’s Coy. he noted that the recipient’s contributions were numerous and ongoing and come “from a heart that loves Carpinteria.” He called her a worker bee that rolls up her sleeves and gets the job done.

Olsson, who moved to the United States from Sweden in 1980, has been a leader in local theater for 37 years. upon her arrival, she got involved with Carpinteria Community Theater, an organization that evolved over the decades. When Metropolitan Theater closed on Carpinteria Avenue, Olsson and others jumped on the opportunity to bring a proper

performing arts venue to Carpinteria. her theater volunteer work has landed her in every position imaginable—if she didn’t write or direct the play, she probably sold the ticket, acted a part, designed the sets and shined the spotlight. young people are olsson’s other passion. Her work at Girls Inc. of Carpinteria has helped inspire and educate hundreds of young women to be strong, smart and bold. along with founding and leading a highly successful theater program within the organization, Olsson worked to empower young women through many other educational avenues. Until last year, she taught the Will Power, Won’t Power classes at Carpinteria Middle school.

The teen pregnancy prevention program provided by Girls Inc. empowers young people to healthily address the challenges of adolescence. “I loved, loved doing it,” Olsson said. Watching young people gain confidence and find their voice has motivated her years of volunteerism with youth.

A year ago, Olsson was diagnosed with breast cancer, a challenge she has faced with incredible strength and dignity. Wigs and scarves bothered her sensitive scalp and chemo sapped her energy, but she persisted in directing shows and leading youth theater groups, unflaggingly positive and confident in her boldly bald new look.

“I’m lucky that I was born happy,” she said. her innately good nature has given her the strength to battle cancer without slowing down. She underwent her final chemo treatment a year ago. “It’s in the background all the time,” she said of her cancer, “but when you keep yourself busy, the good things take over.”

Warrior soccer goes all the way

BY ALONZO OROZCO

Carpinteria High School boys soccer team made history last Saturday night when it won the State Regional Championship at Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium. In the final game of the CIF Division V regional playoffs, the Warriors defeated familiar foe Rubidoux of Riverside, who had fallen to the unstoppable Warriors in the sectional final a week earlier in Corona. This time, in front of a rain-drenched, frenzied home crowd, Carpinteria triumphed 4-2 after scoring two goals in the final nine minutes.

“Never four months ago did I imagine that we’d be in this position,” said coach Leo Quintero. “It’s been an incredible run by the coaching staff, by the kids, the community. They really came out and supported us. That really carried us throughout these playoffs.”

The Warriors scored the first goal of the game during stoppage time in the first half. Solomon Nahooikaika retrieved the ball in the middle of the area, knocking the goal past Rubidoux keeper Israel Mendoza, for a 1-0 lead at the half. In the sectional championship clinched last week, Nahooikaika’s throw-in caromed off the Falcon keeper and a defender to land in the net and give Carpinteria its first CIF boys soccer sectional championship since 1999.

T h e Wa r riors would add to their lead in the regional championship near the 53rd minute, when Garcia’s corner found the head of Gonzalez who drilled it home for a 2-0 lead. But things would get interesting from there, as Rubidoux’s Rafael Arroyo bounced one

past Estrada four minutes later to cut the lead to 2-1. He then added a second off another set piece, a blast that sailed high into the upper left pocket of the goal to tie the game at 2-2 near the 71st minute.

Carpinteria answered back quickly with Garcia turning the corner around a Falcon defender, distributing the ball to Jose Jimenez, who deposited it into the net to recapture the lead at 3-2. “We just kept on going, we never put our heads down, and just kept on fighting,” said Jimenez who ended up with the winning goal.

The Warriors added a fourth goal when Garcia pushed the ball through to Barajas who toed it past Mendoza for a 4-2 lead five minutes later. It was Garcia’s third assist on the night. “We worked hard for this,” said Garcia, giving credit to the entire team. “We got the result that we wanted.”

CHS Athletics Director Pat Cooney called the season a Cinderella story.

The team missed significant playtime in December and January as the Thomas Fire and Jan. 9 floods shut down the school. The boys suffered a 6-1 loss at the hands of Rio Mesa just two weeks after the fire, but then started building steam and wins.

CHS assistant coach Jerry Rodriguez said that he had worked with some of the team members over the summer, and the athletes, “really wanted to do something big.” That’s exactly what they did.

Coach Leo Quintero, pictured top of the heap, and the 2017/2018 Carpinteria High School soccer team captured the school’s first ever regional CIF championship win last weekend.

Warriors eke out semifinal win against Chavez

BY ALONZO OROZCO AND PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING Hosting their second-straight game and semifinal of the regional CIF tournament, the number-one seeded Warriors found themselves deadlocked with Chavez of Delano, 1-1, after 95 minutes of play on March 8. With four goals in the penalty kick shootout to Chavez’s one, Carpinteria would dash off the field in celebration on their way to host the final on March 10.

The Warriors got off to a quick start in this one, scoring on a breakaway when Jose Jimenez fed Mario Jimenez who slipped it past Chavez keeper Oscar Leon just four minutes into the game to make it 1-0. “(Jimenez) was filling in for our vacant spot, the one that Vinny (Gonzalez) was in; you couldn’t have asked more of him,” explained Carpinteria coach Leo Quintero of his backup striker who registered the game’s first goal. Gonzalez had been injured during the Warriors’ Division V Sectional Championship run.

But the home team would have quite a battle on its hands, as the Titans proved to be tough opponents. “We had several of our starters come out of the game,” said Quintero of his squad that began to tire as the game progressed. The Warriors relied heavily on the play of their back line,

which consistently slid the ball away out of their defensive zone. Abel Gutierrez, Diego Perez and goalkeeper Christian Estrada played key roles in thwarting Chavez’s attack as Carpinteria carried a one-goal lead into the second half.

However, in the 60th minute the Titans captured the equalizer when Eriel Abreu’s corner kick landed perfectly on the head of Carlos Macias, who punched it into the back of the net for the 1-1 tie.

“It’s hard to keep a lead sometimes; you’re glad you jump out in front … however, it’s that nerve-racking, that tension, that pressure point that builds, sometimes it’s got to burst,” said Quintero. Although both teams would have some good opportunities to break the tie, nothing would be decided during regulation play or the 15-minute overtime.

Edgar Mendoza netted the first goal for the Warriors in the five-frame penalty kick session, but Chavez’s Anthony Gutierrez tied it at one apiece. Gabriel Barajas and Luis Garcia banged home the next two goals for CHS. And, coupled with a Titans misfire over the crossbar and save by Estrada, Jose Jimenez’s final goal would be the clincher, sending the Warriors to the championship game.

Blair had seven strikeouts and gave up only four hits. “Offensively the day belonged to Isabel Studt,” said Gonzales. Studt went four-for-four with two singles, a triple and a double. In the sixth, she belted a triple to score Raquel Cordero, Blair and Samantha Saenz who all had singles to load the bases. The Warriors had 12 hits for the game with Blair and Cordero collecting two each.

Dear Donnie, My sister-in-law and her husband just moved to our little town and don’t know anybody. She clings to us and acts like it is our responsibility to find activities and friends for them. She is sweet and her husband is a total introvert—neither is very sociable. I had a party to introduce them to some friends, but none of them have reached out to include them in anything. I work and don’t have a lot of free time. What is best way to help them?

SigneD, Unleech me Dear Unleech, It would help to know what motivated them to move here. Do they have children nearby or other friends or family? When anyone moves to a new area it is best to find out what groups share your interests.

Suggest they make a list of their interests or potential activities. Look for notices in the local papers of meetings for those groups. There are film clubs, book clubs, college alumni groups, newcomer clubs, bird watching, adult education classes, hiking and biking groups, church groups, political groups and day trip excursions with locals and more and more and more.

Volunteer opportunities abound in every community. Do as much as you can to help them get connected, and make sure your friends know that they are lonely.

Sometimes a little push helps everybody.

Dear Donnie, We have a local driving service for seniors called HELP of Carpinteria. It is primarily for those who no longer drive.

The ridership has decreased sharply in recent months. We have volunteers ready to help. What do you think we could do to get more riders?

SigneD, reaDy to helP Dear reaDy, The first thing to do is let the local seniors know about all your services. HELP will take a senior not only to medical and dental appointments in Santa Barbara, but also to compassionate visits such as visiting someone in the hospital or nursing home. The rates are very reasonable—some consider the rates cheap. It’s only $10 door-to-door for Santa Barbara and only $2 for local trips to grocery store, medical appointments, even the bank or beauty shops. A recent increase from $6 to $10 bothered some people.

ness standpoint it is better to raise rates a little at a time rather than all at once. I would suggest changing the regular ad asking for volunteers to an occasional one promoting the services and calling the fee “a suggested donation.”

Dear Donnie, I am planning to sue my neighbor because after a long battle over all the leaves from his tree messing up my yard, he refuses to do anything. I have asked him to send his gardener over on a regular basis or eliminate the problem by cutting down his tree. He now refuses to answer my calls. What other recourse do I have?

SigneD, left to leaf alone Dear left, Your other choice is to be a good neighbor and realize that your neighbor enjoys his tree and never intentionally meant to annoy you. People living close to each other need to work out problems in a neighborly fashion. You have the legal right to cut any tree branches hanging over your property. That might minimize the problem. Remember when it’s that time of year when leaves fall the wind will blow them into your yard. Try to focus on the beauty of the trees around you, and live and let live.

Dear Donnie, An old boyfriend just can’t accept that we are done. I’ve moved on and thought he had too. But on Valentine’s Day he sent me two dozen red roses. How can I make him understand that I no longer want his attention?

SigneD, it’S not me, it’S yoU Dear it’S not me, Rejection always hurts. He obviously still cares for you and harbors the hope that you’ll take him back. Try to have a heart-to-heart talk with him and gently explain the reasons for the break-up.

Perhaps there are some things that he could change to be a better partner in his next relationship. This could be a growing experience for both of you.

Dear Donnie, My husband and I have an OK marriage. It’s not great, but it’s not that bad. I want more out of life and I thought he did too, but he says, “Don’t rock the boat.”

What do I do now?

SigneD, JUSt oK Dear JUSt oK, First of all, decide what you mean by wanting more out of life. Is it more love, more romance, more adventure, more personal fulfillment or what? After a certain number of years many couples settle for an OK marriage and look to friends and family to enrich their life. It is important for couples to each have some separate friends and interests or hobbies.

Wanting “something more” could cost you what you have. Is it worth it? You decide.

Dear Donnie, My 40-year-old daughter just divorced her husband and plans to marry a man 20 years older than she. I think she is making a huge mistake. Twenty years is too big an age difference. He may want to retire just when she is in her prime professionally and physically. She is dazzled by his aura of money and success. Is there anything I can say to make her change her mind?

SigneD, mother hen Dear mother hen, No, there is nothing you can do. She is an adult, not a teenager. If you love your daughter just step back and wish her well.

If she goes forward with this plan you will probably be proven right. If that happens, don’t gloat, just support her and make it easy for her to admit her mistake.

Dear Donnie, I’m a senior in high school, and my dad died suddenly last year. I’m worried about my mom. She’s lost interest in me and my brother. She has let herself go, rarely leaves the house and turns down invitations from her friends. How can I get my great mom back?

SigneD, motherShiP SoS Dear motherShiP, Your mom has serious depression.

She needs professional help. She also needs grief counseling or a grief support group. Losing a life partner is devastating and it is also devastating for you to lose a father. A counselor will help her grieve but also to help her to comfort you and your brother. Are there adults in the family who can be there for all of you?

Grieving is not a do it yourself process.

Please get help.

Dear Donnie, I was invited to an Oscar party along with several other people. It was fun— good food, good wine and interesting comments. Then one of the guests, who’d had too much to drink, started criticizing all the winners. He loudly complained that all Hollywood cared about was, “God damned diversity. Too many blacks, women, gays and other marginal people.”

We were all shocked. Our hostess took his drink away and asked if she should call Uber. “I’ll walk,” he bellowed and left.

I felt that the hostess should not have invited him. She must have known that he was like that. The whole party was ruined for me. Should I just thank her for the invitation or say something about that rude man?

SigneD, oUtrageD anD offenDeD Dear oUtrageD, Give her a break. Social invitations are all too rare nowadays, and she put herself out for her guests. I don’t believe she knew he would act that way. Some people can’t drink and be civil. Unfortunately, too many people shared his opinion about diversity and didn’t watch because they didn’t like the choice of nominees. We have a long way to go as a society before we can totally embrace those who come from other races and cultures.

Girls Inc. speaks up about women’s issues

Women, girls and community members attended a March 7 town hall meeting hosted by the County of Santa Barbara Commission for Women, and Girls Inc. of Carpinteria was in attendance to amplify the voices of girls in the community. Members Gisselle Perez and Sophie Morales shared their concerns about campus safety at Carpinteria High School after the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. The two teens will be traveling with Girls Inc.’s Eureka! Program to Washington D.C. this summer to meet with elected officials about the concerns and needs of girls nationwide.

Kenya Rodriguez, coordinator of the Eureka! and Teen programs, identified the importance of uniting girls and women to create meaningful dialogue and mentoring relationships. Rodriguez posed a question to the room, “I want you to ask yourself, who are you mentoring? If you are having trouble coming up with an answer, join and help Girls Inc. to inspire all girls to be strong, smart and bold. We have many girls and young women in need of role models like yourself, and your mentorship.”

Carpinteria Lions host Student Speaker Contest

Ava Castanha, a senior at San Marcos High School, won the second round of the 81st Annual Lions Club Student Speakers Contest held at the Carpinteria clubhouse on March 6. Castanha competed against her San Marcos peer Anna Reed for the opportunity to advance to the next round.

This year’s topic is “Integrity and Civility Play What Role in Today’s Society?” and “both students gave interesting and thought-provoking speeches on this subject,” according to Club President Clyde Freeman.

The Californian Statewide contest was developed to provide students an opportunity for competitive public speaking on subject matters of vital interest, to stimulate self-expression and independent thinking, and to consider the means to meet present and future world problems. In total, the California student speaker contest will provide $103,500 in scholarships for higher education.

April and Jerry Mazienis made a wide-ranging tour of the Middle East with their Coastal View News in tow, and exchanged many an “As-salaamu alaykum” along the way. Starting in Cairo, the Mazienises spent four days enjoying the Nile, riding camels, visiting the Egyptian Museum and the Mohammed Ali Fortress. A 28-day cruise then took them from Greece to Dubai with stops in Athens, Crete, Rhodes, Mykonos, Malta, Sicily and Jerusalem. They drove the Syrian border and also visited the Sea of Galilee and Jordan, “following Jesus’ footsteps for a while.”

A cruise down the Suez Canal included a brief stop in Muscat, Oman. The second leg of the Mazienises’ journey included visiting the Corinth Canal, Petra and Mt. Athena. Their time aboard ship near Yemen had the Mazienises on the lookout for pirates for three days, which Jerry described as being “pretty exciting.”
