After several successful Community Paint Day events, artists from the Muralism team are putting the finishing touches on the Ash Avenue Boathouse mural honoring the late Carpinteria artist Ray Cole. Local artist Joanna Norstedt lent her precise pointillism skills to the project, filling in the mural with small, distinct dots of color to add dimension to the vibrant marinethemed piece. Once the remaining detail work is complete, the mural will be formally unveiled with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Locals team with Lompoc dispensary to secure cannabis retail storefront Santa Claus Lane location secures top spot in county’s preliminary rankings

BY DEBRA HERRICK The contest for a single permit to sell cannabis in a retail shop in the unincorporated county areas of Carpinteria and Summerland has neared completion of its penultimate round. Local Padaro Beach Village storefront owners, Patrick and Maire Radis, along with The Roots dispensary, have come out on top, and are now one step closer to achieving their goal to open a pot dispensary in the former Porch retail location.

As a result of the third of four phases in the merit-based selection process, Santa Barbara County’s Cannabis Program has released preliminary rankings for applicants by Community Plan Area (CPA).

In the Toro Canyon/Summerland CPA, which includes Santa Claus Lane, two applicants were ranked. Ranked number one is The Roots Carpinteria, LLC for a store at 3823 Santa Claus Lane. Ranked number two is Haven XV, LLC for a store just across the way at 3825 Santa Claus Lane, Unit B. Only the applicant seated in the number one ranking on the final list will be allowed to move forward with their permit application.

Countywide, rankings for 15 applicants have been released across five CPAs Toro Canyon/Summerland; Eastern Goleta Valley; Isla Vista/Goleta; Santa Ynez; and Los Alamos. Rankings for the Orcutt CPA were withheld, as the CPA is undergoing a legal challenge and the county is complying with a stay order issued by the court on March 12.

Determination of the Phase 3 rankings consisted of an on-site visit to the proposed retail location and a review, score and ranking of the Neighborhood Compatibility Plan that each applicant submitted.

After the release of the rankings on April , applicants have five business days to file a written protest to the scoring. Scoring protests will be considered by the County xecutive O ce which will issue a final decision.

“We anticipate a large number of protests,” said Brittany Heaton, principal

The Roots Carpinteria, LLC has ranked number one in the county’s merit-based selection process to open a cannabis retail location. If successful, The Roots will open a store at 3823 Santa Claus Lane.

Last summer, when the Radises’ biggest tenant, Porch, gave notice on their lease, the Radises decided to apply for the cannabis retail permit. The decision came after years of cannabis edibles providing Patrick with relief from his Parkinson’s. analyst, Cannabis Program, County Executive O ce. “There may be legal action it’s hard to tell at this point how long it will take but I’m hopeful that by the end of this month we’ll be releasing the final scores.” The final decision on scoring protests will be made by e Frapwell, assistant county executive o cer.

CEF merges science enrichment for all CUSD students

The Carpinteria ducation Foundation C F has facilitated a , gift from Chevron to provide the Merge Cube to augment science education at Carpinteria nified School istrict.

According to its website, the Merge Cube helps students learn science and ST M e ectively with objects and simulations they can touch, hold and interact with. Students can hold a three-dimensional object while interacting digitally, allowing for hands-on learning such as dissecting a virtual frog or holding fossils. Middle school science curriculum lessons include genetics and evolution for eighth graders, yeast respiration (chemical reactions) for seventh graders, and a lesson on homeostasis and negative feedback for sixth graders.

The , gift came from Chevron’s Santa Barbara County Social Investment program and was given on Nov. 8, 2020, according to Sara Dearman, public a airs representative for Chevron. “Chevron takes a comprehensive approach to investments in education by getting students excited about STEM

and encouraging them to pursue STEM courses and, ultimately, STEM careers.

The Merge Cube program is a great way to keep kids engaged and doing handson activities,” Dearman said.

“Science education at the secondary level is especially challenging in a virtual learning environment,” said Diana Rigby, CUSD superintendent. “Chevron has been so generous in donating funds for the purchase of the Merge Cube to keep students engaged and doing hands-on experiments and projects – a lifesaver!”

The Merge Cube’s tactile learning is particularly important as time in the lab has been curtailed due to the pandemic.

“The Merge Cube allows students to really see and feel science that kids are sure to engage with and will hopefully lead to a lifelong interest in science and technology to better prepare all CUSD students for jobs in the 21st century,” said Casey Balch, C F president. “The Merge Cube is one more way to bring the classroom into the home and continue to ensure that our kids have access to cutting edge learning.”

The Radises

Patrick and Maire Radis have lived in a barn house in the hinterlands of Toro Canyon since 1995. Their three adult children attended local schools and now live nearby.

The couple dreamed of owning and fixing up the abandoned obster Town USA building on Santa Claus Lane for years. The property had been abandoned for over three decades when they finally purchased it in 2009 and began a full-scale restoration project.

Patrick was an electrical contractor with an o ce on Carpinteria Avenue before retiring in 2015 because of his Parkinson’s Disease and joining Maire fulltime in their real estate investment business, specializing in buying and rehabilitating distressed properties. Maire has also run her own property management company since 1987.

Last summer, when the Radises’ biggest tenant, Porch, gave notice on their lease, the Radises decided to apply for the cannabis retail permit. The decision came after years of cannabis edibles providing Patrick with relief from his Parkinson’s.

“Patrick has what is known as an ‘atypical’ form of Parkinson’s,” said Maire.

“The traditional drugs used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s, such as Dopamine agonists and others , have no e ect on him and in fact make him really sick.”

There is no cure for Parkinson’s Disease, but in 2017 a friend recommended Patrick try a cannabis-infused chocolate. “It allowed him to get through the day with no meds,” Maire said. “Today he takes no medications and is still surfing.”

The Roots

Entering the retail cannabis sector though is not easy, so the Radises sought a partner that was already a leader in the

industry. After receiving several o ers from non-local firms to buy the building or rent the space, they decided to team up with Victor Sanchez, who operates a retail cannabis store, The Roots, in Lompoc.

“While we were entertaining those offers, we discovered that our friend Victor Sanchez, who we have known since he was a little kid and whose family we have known for many years, has a successful retail cannabis store,” said Maire. “Victor has put together a stellar team to run The Roots Carpinteria including Luis Castaneda who is in charge of compliance and operations, Marcus and Beth Thuna who manage the business side of things and David Garcia who oversees product procurement … Retail cannabis is a highly regulated and complicated business, and we are excited to be working with such a successful and capable team.”

The Roots opened in Lompoc two years ago as the only locally owned dispensary in town. “We are focused on giving back to the community,” said Luis Castaneda, co-owner of The Roots. “We’re on the sidelines at Little League games in Lompoc and we want to keep that same community relationship in Carpinteria.”

The Roots focuses on owers grown locally in Santa Barbara County, while also introducing new brands from across the state. “We like to spread the love and educate customers,” said Castaneda. “We have a large emphasis on locally grown cannabis, health and well-being. We put a lot of energy into educating our bud tenders and having a solid team.”

Next phase

After the County Executive Office releases the final rankings, the top applicants will move on to seek the licenses and permits required to open a cannabis retail shop. If the top candidate falls out for any reason, the applicant with the next highest ranking will be invited to seek permits and licensing. The county’s Planning and Development Department will follow the standard process of public noticing for each associated permit.

Inquiries related to the land use entitlement permitting process and noticing per CPA can be directed to Petra Leyva, supervising planner, Cannabis Program, (805) 568-2071, Petra@co.santa-barbara. ca.us. For all other inquiries, residents can call (805) 568-2777 or email cannabisinfo@ countyofsb.org.

Today, he and his -year-old mentee Manny are exploring life’s many possibilities with stops along the way for Taco Bell fare and lots of hours of fishing. hen asked why being a mentor is such an important part of his life, ingston is quick to reply, “That’s easy. t’s the smile on Manny’s face every time pull in the driveway to pick him up That’s what

Bob Kingston and his mentee, Manny, have made many memories together in ingston’s time as a mentor. this is all about.” ith a degree from San iego State, ingston’s career spanned local business and industry, including the opening of Santa Barbara’s famous Chart House

School board meeting prompts stakeholder concern over elimination of Zoom learning option

BY ODESSA STORK

On Tuesday, March 30, the Carpinteria nified School istrict Board of Trustees voted to return all students in-person five days per week for elementary schools, and four days per week for Carpinteria High School and Carpinteria Middle School beginning Monday, April .

Attendees expressed varying opinions about the amended reopening plan, but the aspect of the plan that was discussed in most detail was the elimination of the oom learning option at the elementary and middle school levels.

As part of the plan, Cohort C, the subgroup of students that had previously been studying remotely over oom, will be discontinued at the elementary and middle school levels. nstead, elementary and middle school students must choose between returning to school in person fulltime, or enrolling in a remote, independent study program called dmentum, which is provided by the district. Students on dmentum learn fully independently except for meetings once a week with a district administrator who has been designated as the dmentum coordinator for their school, according to Superintendent iana Rigby.

At Carpinteria High School, Cohort C or oom learning will remain available for all students and courses, a decision that was made largely because many students are enrolled in Advanced Placement AP and ual nrollment courses at CHS that are not supported by dmentum. Additionally, special education students districtwide will be able to amend and individuali e their learning plans to best suit their needs.

Holly Minear, a parent of a student at Summerland lementary, spoke in support of the move to fully in-person

instruction. “ hile our son’s teacher has done her best to teach students through a camera and a keyboard, this is not the format we know best suits our son’s learning and social-emotional needs,” she said.

Ryane Alexander, a parent of a student at Carpinteria Middle School, shared a di erent view. “My youngest daughter is at the middle school and she’s doing great on oom,” Alexander said. “She’s ourishing, she has all As, she is an ama ing student, and feel like giving us the choice for oom and then taking it away doesn’t feel right for our family there’s still a pandemic going on.” “ just feel like we should have the choice,” Alexander continued. “ t’s the end of the school year, there’s a couple months left. think it’s great if kids want to go back, but some kids don’t, and some kids also have anxiety of going back. So, pushing parents to put their kids in class or go on independent study isn’t really a great choice for us t’s not really a choice. She’s doing so well in school right now, so to put her in independent study would be kind of a shame.”

Sarah Rochlit er, a teacher at Carpinteria High School, echoed Alexander’s concerns. “ f the whole purpose of this is to make the most e ective teaching and learning for students, then forcing kids to choose between a sub-par online system and returning with anxiety t’s just not an option, it feels forced,” she said. “ t doesn’t feel like a choice, it feels like you’re just being forced.” ay Hotchner, president of CA S , the union representing teachers in C S schools, expressed the need for more community input on the topic. “Simply looking at the attendance at this meeting does much to clarify how hard C S worked to minimi e input and participation and collaboration,” he said. “ magine

“My youngest daughter is at the middle school and she’s doing great on Zoom.

She’s flourishing, she has all As, she is an amazing student, and I feel like giving us the choice for Zoom and then taking it away doesn’t feel right for our family; there’s still a pandemic going on.”

a decision of this importance being made with so little community input.” aime iamond, the sole board member who would go on to vote against the amended reopening plan, expressed concern that students’ learning would get disrupted by switching between the various learning options. “ ’m concerned that students who are essentially forced into the independent study will get lost in their academics at this point,” she said.

Rigby acknowledged the challenge and said that the district is “weighing the benefits of doing in-person instruction and the challenge for teachers to do simultaneous teaching with what we call roomies’ and oomies.’ t’s extremely difficult to teach students who are in person and students who are on oom without having everybody on oom.”

Board members Aaron Smith, Sally Green, ayme Bray and Andy Shea er voted in support of the plan. Citing the strain that virtual learning has placed

on the mental health of many students throughout the pandemic, Shea er said that being back in school is the best thing for students. hen asked how the district reached its conclusion that simultaneous learning with some students on oom was not working e ectively and should be discontinued, Rigby stated that “students perform much better with live teachers and peers in their classrooms” and cited an overall increase in s and Fs at Carpinteria Middle School in Fall 2 2 . hen asked about the success of such learning at Carpinteria High School, Rigby cited the similar drop in grades.

Starting Monday, April , all C S students began the remainder of their semester in one of the designated learning options outlined in the amended reopening plan. Rigby said the district will not know the exact total number of students who have chosen to enroll in ndependent Study until the end of this week.

Harry Boone Powell 6/24/1928 – 3/1/2021

Harry Boone Powell was born June 24, 1928 in Lake Wales, Florida to Charles Grady Powell and Nora Elizabeth Wingfield. However, he always said he was born in Frostproof, an even smaller town miles south, where his father owned a pharmacy, a men’s clothing store, and orange groves. Harry worked in all three through high school while lettering in three sports and graduating as class aledictorian.

His mother gave him bridge lessons at the age of , while his father started him on golf at . Harry always credited his skill at golf and bridge to the early start he got from his parents. His other great parental gift was an abiding respect and love for family history in the Georgia and Florida panhandle, dating back to aniel Boone.

He attended anderbilt niversity for two years in pre-med, but in , Florida had no medical school, so Harry, never one to waste time, enrolled in pharmacy at niversity of Florida. He joked that his family produced doctors, pharmacists and preachers and preaching and medicine were out hile at . of Florida he formed a local chapter of appa Psi, the national pharmacy fraternity. He was elected to Florida Blue ey, and won the F duplicate bridge Championship with a Chinese architecture professor, anny, but couldn’t compete in ationals because anny wasn’t a student. Before his last year of pharmacy school, he met on a blind date and followed to California the woman who became his wife of years, oyce Humphrey. Married in , they raised five children in the beach town of Carpinteria, where oyce’s family had a long history.

Financed by the Humphreys in buying their first drugstore, alley Rexall rugs, and working -hour weeks, Harry still managed to play golf at Ojai alley nn, where an out-of-town membership cost six dollars a month. Ojai became the site of the third store, followed quickly by three more. n the s, Harry and the Powell family became the face of Rexall Association Clubs. An organi ation which represented , national and international independent retail druggists. Harry organi ed disaster relief and did PR, but his favorite project was an award-winning ational Teen Forum.

Rexall sponsored a national patriotic essay contest in each state, the winners of which received a trip to ashington C for a week of sight-seeing, patriotic and business presentations. The outstanding boy and girl, chosen by Rev. Billy Gra-

ham, joined a Rexall People-to-People Pharmaceutical Tour, meeting political and business leaders from the Middle ast and Russia, Poland and C echoslovakia. Such a project would be inconceivable today, but the expectation in was for unending prosperity, co-operation and world peace.

Harry served on the Carpinteria lementary School Board and the Santa Barbara County Grand Jury, before he joined Carpinteria business leaders and ranchers in the formation of Casitas ational Bank. The banking business became his first priority as Casitas grew into County Bank with branches and eventually sold to Barclays . Retirement was not in the cards with five children to educate or help finance in their own businesses. ith oyce’s help, he partnered with ack and Rene endinger for years at the sla ista Rexall, where junior Powells and endingers worked behind the cash register with the biggest candy counter in town. Buying candy during exams became known locally as “having a Rexall fit.” All the while Harry found the time to read widely, keep his handicap below , fire up his old charcoal barbecue, and take care of his avocado trees.

A chance meeting with a visiting Scottish couple, at and Moira Thomson, led to a lifelong friendship and the purchase of a Flat in St. Andrews with Southern California friends who enjoyed history, gardens, golf, tennis, birding, architecture, single malt Scotch and craft beers. hen Harry served on the Board of Birnam ood, the Powells brought acorns from the famous Birnam ood Oak in Scotland and planted them around the golf course in Montecito.

Harry closed out his golfing and banking careers with spots on the Board of a Cumbre Country Club, Santa Barbara Bank and Trust, and partnering with buddy Don Anderson on golf outings, usually with a fair amount of success.

He shot his age so many times in later years that he stopped recording it, but could still recount most shots, maintaining that smooth down-the-middle swing into his s.

Walnut Avenue bungalows are “Looking Good” April is designated as Carpinteria Beautiful Month and the organization has named two bungalows on Walnut Avenue as the month’s recipients of the Looking Good Award. The homes, 539 and 519 Walnut Ave., are owned by Ranell Hansen and date back to 1939.

Hansen moved into the house at 539 Walnut Ave. in 1979. “I always had a garden in the back yard, and one year I even had a small chicken coop with three chickens,” she said. “Over the years, because of the drought, we stopped watering our front lawn. I would always plant wild owers in the planters, which would grow if it rained, some years better, some years not so great. But by summer, everything looked pretty bleak.”

In 2020, Hansen decided to tear out the lawn and plant drought resistant landscaping. Gardener Janie Ableson had done the drought tolerant landscaping at 519 Walnut a few years earlier “with fabulous results.” She and her crew did the planting and Ableson recommended drought tolerant plants that would bloom most of the year.

“The mix of succulents and perennials turned out to be magnificent,” Hansen said. “We are very happy with our makeover, and love to sit on the front porch and enjoy the variety of blooms, the birds it attracts, the lizards, the bees and the comments of people passing by.”

Hansen’s family, the Barbers, moved to Carpinteria in 1939. They left Gresham, Nebraska during the Great Depression because there was promise of work in California. Hansen’s aunt, Florence Fine, had moved to Carpinteria previously and sent word to her family to come on out. “My grandfather, Frank Barber, was a carpenter,” Hansen said. “He came to Carpinteria earlier, got work and wrote to my grandmother to sell everything and move here. My mom was 16; she is now 98!”

The first house the family lived in upon arriving in Carpinteria was at 539 Walnut Ave. “My mom says that the house was pretty new at the time,” Hansen said.

“The cottages in the back had not yet been built, and my Uncle Ike Fine’s step-father, Henry Wilson, built at least one of them.”

Back then, living in this little two bedroom, one-bath house, there were eight adults and a baby. As time went

Ranell Hansen s Walnut Avenue bungalows have been in her family since 1939. In recent years, she has replaced the lawn with colorful drought resistant landscaping designed by gardener Janie Ableson. on, family members moved to their own separate homes. Hansen’s grandfather built two houses on 8th Street, one for her grandmother and one for her aunt.

“Over the years he also helped other family members build homes on Vallecito Road, Vallecito Place and Calle Ocho,” Hansen said.

By 1965, Ranell Hansen’s father, George Hansen had been working for Carpinteria Plumbing for roughly 20 years. When his boss, Buzz Gann, retired, he bought the business. “At that time the plumbing shop was located behind Ralph’s Market, (now Guicho’s Eatery) and Ralph Walsh owned the building with Rollie Mac Intyre,” Hansen said. “Nadine Walsh wanted to open a ower shop behind the store, so my dad needed to relocate his business. He purchased the property at 539 Walnut and converted the garages in the back into o ces and storage for Carpinteria Plumbing which still occupies the space today and is owned by Oscar Loretto.”

For many, this past year has been a reminder that Carpinteria has a deeply rooted culture of caring. In week six of her 10-week series, photographer Ingrid Bostrom captures portraits of some of Carpinteria’s most compassionate citizens.

Becki orton and anielle Bordenave were nominated by Terri Simber “for starting a community adventure of positivity, kindness, joy and new friendships during a di cult time.”

BECKI NORTON was visiting Homer, Alaska when she found a beautifully painted rock with a note on the bottom about carrying on the kindness rock project (by painting one’s own rocks and leaving them outside for others to find . She was inspired to begin painting rocks to leave around Carpinteria, which became a project and Facebook page known as “CARP ROC S ” orton has been grateful for the many connections built through the project, along with “a creative outlet it brings that is literally grounding. t brings joy and excitement to my inner child when hide or find rocks,” orton said. orton has been delighted to hear about kids begging their parents to take them out for walks to hunt for painted rocks.

DANIELLE BORDENAVE found her first painted rock on Feb. , 2 2 on inden Avenue and learned that it was placed there by orton. ithin a day, Bordenave was at orton’s house learning how to join along with the project. Since that day, she has painted and hid over 2, rocks around Carpinteria.

The project “is about spreading joy and kindness. love when people find a rock and it brings a smile to their face. ith all that is going on in the world, love that simply a sweet rock can make someone’s day,” Bordenave said.

The growing CARP ROC S “caterpillar” lining the sidewalk of inden Avenue has been a hit with my -year-old son and provides us with an easy outing while keeping close to home. hen the past year has kept many caught between a rock and a hard place, colorful rocks with encouraging messages are a welcome diversion Know someone who is giving back in a powerful way or bringing joy to others?

Rincon Mountain Winery matures to tasting room and wine club

MADE IN CARPINTERIA B R E N D A TA N Opening a wine tasting room in Carpinteria was no quick endeavor for the folks behind Rincon Mountain Winery, located in the west end business district of Carpinteria Avenue. Owned

by Jill and Edward Darren Siple, Rincon Mountain Winery’s grapes take three years to mature from the time they are planted. The Siples planted their grapes in 2012 and harvested them in 2015. After harvesting, the grapes were stored in barrels for two additional years. By 2018, the wine was ready for sale and in 2020, the Siples opened their tasting room.

Jill runs the business and Edward is in charge of the winemaking process.

The vision for the business started when Edward’s father planted a vineyard at Rincon Mountain 30 years ago. His father encouraged him to study winemaking in college before returning to open the winery. After graduating, Edward completed a harvest internship at L’Aventure Winery in Paso Robles.

“When my dad started the winery, I didn’t know anything and got a very rough crash course early on,” Edward said. “I was initially drawn in by the fermentation process – the microscopic organisms that turn sugar into alcohol.

I loved the science behind it and trying to understand it more got me excited to make wine. As I learned more, I came to appreciate the artistic side of winemaking, the taste and the craft that goes into it. I learned about how where your fruits come from and how they are grown changes its composition. I learned about all the details that go into making wine.”

Jill Siple runs the business side of Rincon Mountain Winery and her husband Edward leads the winemaking process.

It was in college where Edward would meet his future wife, Jill, who at the time wanted to be a teacher. “My father-inlaw decided that I could do the business side of the winery and I thought I would give it a try,” Jill said. “I come from a city background, so I didn’t understand how to run a business or do agriculture, but it was exciting to see it happen, and I wanted to be a part of it. As I was thrown into the business, I realized that I enjoyed it.”

When Rincon Mountain Winery opened in 2018, it was more of a wordof-mouth a air. Customers could opt for di erent club tiers, the most basic tier being the three-bottle club. Each member is invited up to Rincon Mountain to pick up their wine at private events, and to

eat wood-fire pi a, sample unreleased or rare wines and enjoy the view. Guests at the events are allowed to bring their friends and meet the winemaking team.

“When people come here, it’s like they are part of the family,” Jill said. “My husband pours the wines at these events so people

can ask him their questions about how he makes it.”

The Siples opened the tasting room to allow more people to taste their wine, and they also wanted to get to know their customers better. “To be interested, people need to know who is making the wine or why it is special,” Jill said. “If people come to the tasting room, they can pick my brain about the wine and I can ask about them and their family. I love being around people drinking wine, relaxing and chatting about life and wine, I get to develop friendships with people when they come in ... Since opening, so many people have come in and expressed their gratitude to have a winery in Carpinteria. I’m glad we chose to open our wine tasting room here.”

With the impressive achievement of opening a wine tasting room during a pandemic under their belt, the Siples now have ambitious plans for the future.

Edward wants to replant the vineyard his father planted 30 years ago. Additionally, the Siples make their own beer with ingredients from their Rincon ranch such as edible owers, citrus fruits and macadamia nuts. They also own a farm in Paso Robles where they grow grapes, hops and grains that they hope to use in craft beers in the near future. They plan on opening a bottle shop for beer next to their wine tasting room.

To learn more about Rincon Mountain Winery, visit rinconmtn.com or stop by the tasting room at 4187 Carpinteria Ave., Suite 1 and 2.

Brenda Tan is a columnist and a freelance writer. She is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in English, Writing and Literature, and Art History with an emphasis in Museum Studies at UCSB. She can be reached at brendatan321@gmail.com.

Edward Siple carries on a tradition of winemaking that his father started with a vineyard on Rincon Mountain 30 years ago.

Rincon Mountain Winery’s Carpinteria tasting room has outdoor seating that allows for fresh air and social distancing.

Crews continue major highway repair and renovation

Over the next several weeks, crews will be finishing up work on southbound Highway in Carpinteria and then shift lanes onto the new median and southbound areas. The work comes as part of the ongoing Highway Carpinteria to Santa Barbara project, undertaken

by Caltrans and the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments SBCAG to add a new carpool lane in each direction between Carpinteria and Santa Barbara.

The current repairs will prepare for the next stage of construction on the mountainside of the freeway. Through April , residents can expect alternating closures of southbound and northbound freeway ramps in Carpinteria at night.

On the orthbound Highway , stretches from Bailard Avenue to Santa Claus ane and from orth Padaro ane to She eld rive will be reduced to one lane from p.m. to a.m. on Sunday nights. Additionally, those same stretches will be reduced to one lane Monday through Thursday nights from p.m. to a.m.

On the Southbound Highway , stretches from She eld rive to orth Padaro ane and from Santa Claus ane to Bailard Avenue will be reduced to one lane from p.m. to a.m. These same stretches will also be reduced to one lane Monday through Thursday from p.m. to a.m. n both directions, alternating on-and o -ramps will be closed while the nightly construction takes place. These ramps include Carpinteria Avenue, Reynolds Avenue, inden Avenue, Casitas Pass Road and Bailard Avenue. n both directions, consecutive on- and o -ramps in the same direction will not be closed at the same time. rivers are instructed to use the ramp before or after each closure. n Carpinteria, crews are finishing up work on the southbound side in preparation for shifting lanes. On the northbound side, once tra c is switched, crews will begin breaking up old pavement to prepare for upcoming work on new freeway lanes. On the Santa Monica Road ramps, crews will construct temporary ramp improvements to prepare for the next stage of work where freeway lanes are shifted

Crews at the Sheffield Drive interchange are working on the retaining walls, temporary supports and bridge span. toward the southbound side.

At Franklin and Santa Monica Creek Bridges, crews are working on finishing the safety barriers. Along inden Avenue and Casitas Pass Road, the landscaping contractor is planting and mulching. n the Summerland segment between She eld rive and orth Padaro ane, crews are working on upcoming median and lane improvements, installing underground storm drains and paving the asphalt base layer for upcoming Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement later this spring. At the She eld rive interchange, they will continue working on the retaining walls, temporary supports and bridge span.

To view a complete list of closures including detour maps, visit SBROA S. com and select the project segment.

The current repairs are part of the ongoing project to add a new carpool lane in each direction between Carpinteria and Santa Barbara.

Highway renovation project leaders work to protect double crested cormorants

DAVID LEVASHEFF

Double crested cormorants have seasonally nested along southbound Highway 101 near Sheffield Drive since 2013.

The Highway Carpinteria to Santa Barbara project is primarily intended to address tra c congestion and safety on Highway , but project sta have also had to make a unique environmental consideration as they begin construction.

The project has employed measures to balance e ective freeway construction with environmental protections specifically related to double crested cormorants, a protected bird species that has seasonally nested along southbound Highway near She eld rive since 2 .

The project leaders recently increased the frequency of air blasts due to the increased nesting activity of the cormorants with the goal to encourage nesting outside the construction area. nfortunately, the increased frequency has had an unintended negative impact on the surrounding neighbors. n working with the project team biologists, and in collaboration with project partners, the project will be taking several steps.

First, they are shifting the focus of the habitat protection and nesting deterrence plan to rely more heavily on visual deterrents and human presence in the area.

This is to significantly reduce or eliminate the use of air blasts to the benefit of project neighbors, while still being e ective in encouraging cormorants to nest outside

the construction one. People can expect to see biologists monitoring the area daily, and see tree crews rotating visual deterrents. Climbers will also be switching out the use of Mylar ash tape for other visual deterrents, including owl silhouettes.

Project biologists will be on-site daily through April conducting monitoring activities and maintaining visual deterrents.

Additional monitoring will continue throughout the nesting season, likely into September.

“Our priorities are to build this important project, protect the environment and be a good neighbor. This is a challenging situation with many variables to consider. e are refocusing our e orts to be a better neighbor and will continue to make sure we are e ective. t is also important to keep in mind that if this plan doesn’t work, we could be looking at an additional year of construction and cost to taxpayers up to million,” said oe rwin, Highway Corridor Manager at Caltrans istrict .

Biologists have been monitoring the cormorants and their nest counts since 2 . As part of the highway improve-

ments, a bird deterrent and protection plan was created by state and independent biologists focused on the cormorants. Avoidance and minimi ation measures were created as part of the 2 nvironmental mpact Report, supplemented with a atural nvironment Study in 2 , and approved by the California epartment of Fish and ildlife.

The multi-tiered plan began with monitoring, then removal of old nests outside of nesting season when birds were not present, visual deterrents such as predator balloons , and auditory deterrents prior to and during nesting season. The goal is to protect the habitat area in the long-term, but temporarily encourage birds to find suitable nesting areas outside of the construction one. This will reduce the potential for construction to impact nesting birds and their young.

The Highway Carpinteria to Santa Barbara improvements represent a significant component of the overall solution to address tra c congestion by adding new peak-period carpool lanes and enhancements to improve freeway operations. For more information, visit SBROA S.com.

Open for Business

BY ODESSA STORK

The heart of Carpinteria is in its local and family-owned businesses, but it’s also in the strength and giving spirit of the community. One year into the Covid-19 pandemic, local businesses are still in need of community support. In this special edition of Open for Business, we spotlight some of Carpinteria’s local farmers and the work that they do in bringing fresh produce, goods and more to the community, county and beyond.

Sweet Mountaintop Farm

Frecker Farms is a certified organic farm growing over 40 varieties of produce on 35 acres of land year-round, from lettuce, kale, chard and cabbage to watermelon, strawberries, avocados and much more. When Alex Frecker founded Frecker Farms in 2013, it took up just three acres. Since then, the farm has grown tremendously both in scale and community impact. Today, Frecker Farms plays a fundamental role in bringing fresh, local organic fruits and vegetables to Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties, supplying local distribution chains with quality produce.

Every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Frecker Farms hosts a Farm Stand event where the public can visit the farm and take home fresh produce. You can also find them at the Carpinteria Farmers’ Market every Thursday from 3 to 6 p.m.

Frecker Farms is located at 6701 Casitas Pass Road. Call (805) 455-2033 and visit freckerfarms.com to learn more about how and where you can find Frecker Farms products.

Owner, farmer and creator Mary Gonzales leads Sweet Mountaintop Farm.

Situated between Rincon Mountain’s many avocado orchards, Sweet Mountaintop Farm grows 100% of their own herbs and flowers which are then used to create herbal tinctures, tea blends, skin toners, herbal infused body oil and salve, flower garlands and more. Led by owner, farmer and creator Mary Gonzalez, Sweet Mountaintop Farm is a non-certified organic farm with a commitment to beyond-organic practices that are kind to both customers and the earth. Working alongside Gonzales are production manager Katie Bloom and farm hand Sarah Plath.

Visit sweetmountaintop.com to shop a selection of herbal remedies, skincare items and more.

Red Hen Cannery

NELLIE ENGLE

Maureen Foley Claffey owns Red Hen Cannery.

Award-winning, farm-to-jar fruit preserves company Red Hen Cannery uses family recipes and local fruits and herbs from Foley Farm and Bailard Ranch to produce delicious jams and marmalades. Led by Maureen Foley Claffey, Red Hen Cannery is the latest offshoot of a family farm operation that has run in Carpinteria since the 1860s. Their marmalades have won gold, silver and bronze roundels at the international Dalemain Marmalade Awards, and in 2017 their Heirloom Tomato and Spice Jam won a national Good Food Award.

Red Hen Cannery preserves are sold at the Santa Barbara Downtown Farmers’ Market every other Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Claffey is hopeful that Montecito Farmers’ Market appearances are soon to come every other Friday.

Pete’s living lettuce and cress are still connected to their roots when packaged and sold, ensuring maximum freshness.

Executive VP of Strategy and Innovation Pete Overgaag comes from a long line of greenhouse growers. His father and the rest of the Overgaag family immigrated to Santa Barbara County from Holland in 1968 and have since established themselves as some of the finest cut flower and produce growers in the area. Pete’s products can be found in local grocery stores and markets. Visit eatpetes.com to learn more.

THROWBACK

A 1942 Carpinteria Murder Mystery: Who killed Margaret Senteney?

Part 2 of 2

It stands as Carpinteria’s greatest murder mystery, an infamous story in the classic sense of “true crime,” shaking the community at large like a tidal wave, appearing and disappearing, only to reappear again and then vanish amidst years of rumor and speculation.

This feature was written by former CVN editor Paul Sisolak and originally published in Carpinteria Magazine, Summer 2007. Part 1 of this story may be read at coastalview.com.

Silence broken

Longtime Carpinteria farmer George Bliss had been interviewed by authorities in 1942 shortly after the murder. He asked if anything suspicious had come within his sights.

“They asked me if I had seen the car ... and I saw nothing at all,” Bliss recently recalled as his answer to police. (Bliss was interviewed in 2007 for this story. At the time, he was 87.)

Bliss’ property, near the former Beckstead land, was not in close proximity to where the body was reported found on the border of neighboring Summerland.

Leonard Kirkes’ wife’s maiden name was Beckstead and police were investigating all leads.

But authorities most likely began canvassing rural areas, questioning anyone they could for information.

Other Carpinterians had seen something—plenty—in the days surrounding the homicide. But if Kirkes was the guilty party, his actions, and witness accounts, wouldn’t come to light until nearly a decade later.

It wasn’t until after returning to Carpinteria in 1945 from serving during World War II that Ross’ suspicions against Kirkes—commended for an exceptional Alaskan stint with the Red Cross—came closer to prosecution. Apparently, when Kirkes found himself under arrest on an unrelated moral charge of child molestation in September 1950, Ross, having been promoted to sheri of Santa Barbara County, saw it as his opportunity to pin the Senteney murder on him.

Now that he was in custody, a remarkable in ux of once-silent witnesses began pouring in, swearing that Kirkes was the killer.

One witness, Charles Boverson, told authorities that he was the man Kirkes asked to hastily repaint his car, despite Boverson’s response that the car didn’t need it.

CARPINTERIA HERALD ARCHIVE IMAGES

On Aug. 29, 1942, the body of 20-year-old Margaret Senteney was discovered in Toro Canyon.

Another, Amilcaero Fogliadini, an elderly Italian farmer, claimed that he spotted irkes’ Ford in a field near the crime scene the day of Senteney’s death.

Murder charges were pressed; the case came to trial, and Boverson and Fogliadini provided solid testimony. But evidence of Kirkes’ smoking gun came from key witness Dorothy Egan.

The Carpinteria woman said she saw Margaret Senteney get into Kirkes’ car that fateful August day in 1942, eight long years prior.

In 1951 a jury convicted Leonard Kirkes of second degree murder and sentenced him to five years to life in prison.

Retrial approved

While in San Quentin prison, the ex-patrolman maintained his innocence.

According to an anonymous source, Kirkes disclosed his story to an inmate.

An interview with Daniel Corral Sr., Kirkes’ supposed cellmate, was declined to Carpinteria Magazine.

Kirkes did not spend his time idling in jail and quickly appealed his case. The ex-patrolman in 1952 was approved a retrial first denied to him when the deputy district attorney at Kirkes’ original trial was accused of misconduct during his closing argument. The bias he displayed might negatively have influenced the guilty verdict placed on the patrolman.

Specifically, .A. eldon’s courtroom behavior was assessed after he intimated to members of the jury that he was assured of Kirkes’ guilt prior to the beginning of legal proceedings, before any formal evidence had ever been presented.

Trial transcripts quoted Weldon as saying, “I knew prior to the time that I became associated in this particular pros-

THURSDAY ecution in the month of October, that this particular defendant was guilty of this particular o ense.”

Weldon’s arguments were duly improper, according to the transcripts, because they embellished elements of the crime, partially justifying Kirkes’ guilt by painting him as a “wolf at bay” who in uenced key witnesses’ years of silence in fear he might retaliate against them.

Dorothy Egan’s “unexplained eightyear silence,” as quoted by the transcripts, was justified by the .A. as one stemming from fear, though it was unsubstantiated.

On Weldon’s remarks, “They appealed to the sympathy of the jury for the unfortunate victim of the crime; they characterized the defendant as a ‘wolf at bay’; they drew imaginary and fanciful inferences as to the circumstances of the crime not justified by any evidence in the record.”

There were other testimonial inconsistencies, chalked up largely to the amount of time passed between the crime and the retrial. Truck farmer Fogliadini later claimed on a witness stand that the Ford he spotted was indeed a di erent color than Kirkes’ car.

The clincher was when the prosecution determined that Dorothy Egan’s testimony was inadmissible, having learned that the woman, now a mother, had spent a four-month confinement to a Connecticut state mental hospital for symptoms related to postpartum depression.

Finally, how thorough was the original investigation into Kirkes’ whereabouts the day of the crime? Laselle Thornburgh, an attorney involved in the early stages of the case, according to the transcripts, testified “that he had been informed that a sailor was known to have driven to Carpinteria on Aug. 28 and stated that he was going out that evening with a ‘churchy girl.’” It was noted that Senteney was a church choir singer and taught Sunday School. Kirkes also was not a sailor.

Thornburgh told the court that when he followed up with Ross on the matter, the undersheri did nothing to check the information. It wasn’t until two and a half weeks later that Ross finally checked it out and nothing turned up. Still, it seemed suspicious that he had stalled on such an important matter. It also smacked of a setup.

In 1953 Leonard Kirkes was acquitted of Margaret Senteney’s murder and returned home to Carpinteria a free man.

Who killed Margaret Senteney?

Leonard Kirkes was remembered as a friendly man about town, no more suspicious than the average stranger.

“Nobody seemed to be afraid of him,” said resident Bonnie Milne. (Milne was interviewed in 2007. She was 81 at the

time.) “He was really a nice guy. I remember saying to my mother, ‘Gee, he’s a nice guy,’ and she would say, ‘Would you get in a car with him?’ I guess not.”

Milne said Kirkes was a hunter and would have stored fresh game in his trunk, a valid explanation why the patrolman, before the age of DNA testing, may have scrambled to clean out his car.

The consequence: pig’s blood mistaken for that of a human’s. That was only one argument out of several, and given as testimony by a man named Maddox, who confirmed that in the summer of 2 Kirkes carried two pigs in his trunk en route to a barbecue.

“There were 10 million rumors, and most of them went away,” Milne noted.

But for many years the rumor mill grinded away and became the equivalent of a Carpinteria urban legend. One popular theory suggested that Kirkes was, in fact, put up to the task.

Rumor had it that a roadhouse or bordello-type destination existed on Carpinteria’s eastern end near the former “Thunderbowl” drag racing strip, where the elite attended secret parties filled with sex, gambling and assorted illicit behavior. Stories circulated that some noted public o cials were known to show their faces there and would have done—or paid—anything to make their presence unknown should something criminal happen.

Senteney, according to sources, was easily trusting of others and was even said to be developmentally impaired, suggesting that she was lured to one such party and killed, or maybe died accidentally by a fall. Notable citizens seeking an escape plan, according to rumor, paid o Kirkes handsomely to take the blame and go to prison, swearing to silence.

Altering the scenario a bit, there was implication that Kirkes was wrongfully accused, his car stolen and then used as storage for cargo in the murder, another reasonable answer to why the top cop, under duress, would bungle his e orts in a panicked attempt to avoid being framed. This could also explain the possibility that Senteney’s body was moved to a di erent location after she was killed.

Still, more theories hinted that a local bus driver with a sordid way around children was the culprit.

Though the murder remains technically unsolved, no cold case file exists, according to Sergeant Erik Raney of the Santa Barbara County Sheri ’s epartment.

Kirkes died in 1988 of complications resulting from a stroke and is interred in Santa Barbara Cemetery. To the grave with him went perhaps the answer to one of Carpinteria’s biggest questions: Who killed Margaret Senteney?

Nobody may ever know, though recollections from that August day in 1942 will remain.

Crossing the line CVN

IT’S ALL SURFING CHRISTIAN BEAMISH A buddy of mine who spent his youth as a deckhand on his father’s commercial fishing boat out of Santa Barbara, and as a member of the Channel Islands surf team in the early 80s along with the great Tom Curren, once said that some of the surf crew in that era divided Rincon, roughly, by county a liation entura surfers got the Cove, east of the Rivermouth, and Santa Barbara County surfers got Indicator. Depending on the conditions of course, one group or the other would have a raw deal in such an arrangement and I doubt the division was strictly adhered to – although surfing was a much rougher pursuit in those days and frequently entailed fisticu s. Fun, huh Since October, most days I’m driving

They’re all surfers at the boatyard, and the similarities between the boats and the surfboard designs are seemingly endless. The factors of rocker (bottom curve), and plan shape (outline) serve the same function in a boat or

Some are too large to distinguish.

Harbor seals choose limited specific haulouts and rookeries. As their name implies, haulouts are often in sheltered locations such as harbors and river mouths, but beyond shelter from surf it is di cult to assess why sites are so few. Some studies have suggested prey abundance, but since seals swim miles to forage, the relationship is questionable. One study in Canada, using predator models, suggests a major reason for choosing particular places may be the ability to see land predators, such as bears, wolves and coyotes, at all directions and at su cient distance to ee to the ocean.

Visitors

Many beachgoers are not aware of the seals and are surprised to meet the closure signs. Sealwatchers report people are stopped at least once daily from entering when they fail to see or heed the signs. Most people are happy to learn the seals can be seen from the blu s above.

Info

The Carpinteria harbor seal rookery is located immediately east of Casitas Pier, between the Carpinteria Blu s ature Preserve and Carpinteria State Beach. Please remember not to bring dogs, bicycles or loud voices to view the seals. Harbor 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 -22 or email carpsealwatch gmail.com. To find out more, visit carpinteriasealwatch.org.

surfboard, and a successful builder of either craft must have the ability to see the utility in a particular curve, or combination of curves. This ability is what Herrescho , the much-lauded American yacht designer, called “boatsense.” I like the crew who work in the yard, I like their straightforwardness and the way they seem to enjoy their labor in the same way I do mine. And they all have “boatsense,” too. Standing 20 feet back from a vessel under construction, they’ll sometimes appear to just stare at the work for a time before moving back into it. It’s a matter of proportion they’re seeking, simply what “looks right.”

The two main guys (I don’t want to embarrass them by calling them out by name , besides e Hull, the owner, have been building and doing major repairs and renovations on boats in Hueneme, Ventura and Santa Barbara since their teens. Between them, there is about 70 years of boatbuilding knowledge, and there will likely be more than a century before they’re done. With time logged surfing in Hawaii and across the Pacific – Polynesian designs inked up their forearms – they remind me that our coastline here is part of the Pacific Rim, and that we participate in the culture of this endlessly intriguing ocean before us each time we paddle out, swim or make a crossing. I may have mentioned before the strong sense I get on the backside of the Channel Islands, with its shimmering greens and blues, of the ocean there feeling like the orthern-most boundary of the South Pacific.

The poet Gary Snyder (I believe I’ve mentioned this before as well) has a notion of the land being divided by watersheds, and that there is a way that people of European descent can become “new natives”– that is, come to see the land and

Feliz 88th Birthday Julia Saragoza-Requejo

interact with it as an indigenous person does. While I appreciate the sentiment, I trust that Snyder being more of a scholar and more erudite than me, has worked out the implications of such a statement.

Because, of course, the first thing think of when I hear of white people calling themselves “new natives” (besides okopelli lawn figures, Birkenstocks and crystal collections) is gross appropriation to top o a gruesome inheritance of genocide. Although a brutal history underpins our “kinder and gentler” society (notwithstanding the reckoning with injustice that remains incomplete across the nation, and everyday instances of horrific gun violence), our more serene present day indicates the truth in Dr. King’s statement that the “arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

Like a lot of things in 21st-century life, I recognize a general cultural evolution from the days of my youth. Thinking back on what it was like to cruise through Ventura even in the early 1990s, with its sometimes-heavy vibe of Hell’s Angels and gangbangers, compared to the boutique and brewery scene there now, is the stu of realtor’s dreams, what with the median price of a single-family home. My dad took me to the long defunct “Pike” amusement zone in Long Beach as a little boy in the mid-1970s, and I remember being amazed and a little afraid of the rough crowd of carnies and tattooed sailors.

Huntington Beach was another coastal town with a persistent feeling of illicit activity – The Surf Theater a bacchanalian venue of discarded beer bottles clinking down the incline beneath the seats and pot smoke filling the air as Gerry ope and Rory Russell went barrel-for-barrel at the Pipeline on-screen.

I’m not sure what I’m getting at here, frankly. The nostalgia of a man in his s for the wildness of an earlier time It can’t be that, because despite a streak of the wild man in me, I tend to make fairly conservative life choices, like avoiding fist fights and anything criminal, completing my avy service with an honorable discharge, earning college degrees, etc. … I suppose what I’m wrestling with after all is the feeling of the past – colonial, racial, cultural – being so present in the social structures of today.

And these structures are solidly built, seemingly impossible to reconfigure in more equitable ways. Every day I think of my ancestors and the historical factors that led them from West County Cork, reland, to Taranaki, ew ealand Aotearoa, where they fought gati-Ruanui Maori for land acquisition. I think of ways I might connect with the tribe, then realize the best thing is to let it rest until can o er something of true cross-Pacific reciprocation. In the meantime, I still marvel at the ocean arts that have come to us in boats and surfboards from the people of the Pacific diaspora.

Christian Beamish took leave of his position at Coastal View News in October 2020 to pursue his surfboard business, “Surfboards California,” full time. He continues his monthly column. The former Associate Editor of The Surfer’s Journal, Beamish is also the author of “Voyage of the Cormorant” (Patagonia Books, 2012) about his single-handed expedition down the coast of Baja California by sail and oar in his self-built Shetland Isle beach boat. He lives with his wife and two children in Carpinteria.

SBCC horticulture students get hands-on cannabis farming education

Santa Barbara City College horticulture students headed into the field on April 2 to learn about greenhouse cannabis farming in Carpinteria. Students toured Headwaters farm on Foothill Road as part of the hemp cultivation portion of their curriculum.

Cannabis and hemp are closely related. Students learned about production management for cultivation and farming techniques used at each stage of the plant’s life.

They were able to clip clones from “mother plants” and get new plants started by dipping the clone in a rooting hormone and placing it into a moist growing medium.

“Our tour gave the class direct, in-person exposure to what a greenhouse growing operation is like, and even gave them some hands-on experience in methods involved in cannabis cultivation,” said SBCC Professor Michael Gonella. “They were all very appreciative of the tour and are excited to learn more about job opportunities in the industry now.”

CARP Growers, the local cannabis farmers group, has worked to provide academic opportunities and internships for college students at SBCC and Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria, which both have incorporated hemp into their curriculums.

Colleges and universities face less barriers in studying hemp as cannabis remains a federally illegal plant.
