Congrats to the Class of 2021

Carpinteria High School celebrated the Class of 2021’s graduation on June 10, bringing to the end a year of online learning, lockdowns and masked gatherings.

Graduates such as Eloisa Perez, above, cheered as they walked across the CHS stadium – commemorating a well-deserved accomplishment. With the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions in California, CHS graduates are now free to pursue their lives beyond high school and celebrate accordingly. See more on pages 14 and 15.

St. Joseph to host 64th annual festival

St. Joseph Church will again host its 64th annual festival this summer, between July 9 and July 11. Live entertainment will be held nightly in both English and Spanish.

Festival food favorites will be available throughout the weekend including BBQ Tri Tip, hot dogs, tacos, enchiladas and pozole. Other mouth-watering foods that will be available at the festival include home-style and large-portioned strawberry short cake, churros and cotton candy. The Beer Garden will provide wine and beer for adults and family drinks such as sodas, aguas frescas, horchata, homemade lemonade and iced tea.

The festival will have rides for all ages. The large Ferris wheel provides views of the ocean and mountains surrounding Carpinteria. Once again, festival goers can expect surprise thriller rides, the popular basketball shoot and the fun house and family slide, along with other amusements.

A $2,500 grand raffle drawing will be held on Sunday, July 11, at 8 p.m. Two other cash prizes will also be awarded at that time. Daily, hourly raffle drawings for many local prizes will be awarded throughout the festival. Raffle tickets can be picked up at the church office or at the Festival for a donation of $2 each.

The festival is the main fundraiser for St. Joseph Church; it provides funds for the many ministries which meet the spiritual needs of the St. Joseph community throughout the year as well as to provide other aid for people in need.

The festival will be open Friday, July 9, from 5 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.; Saturday, July 10, from noon to 11 p.m.; and Sunday, July 11, from noon to 9 p.m. Parking and admission are free. Presale ride wristbands are available in the St. Joseph Church Office.

Free microchips available for cats and dogs

From now through July 4, ahead of local Independence Day festivities, the Santa Barbara Humane Society is offering free microchips for cats and dogs at its Santa Barbara and Santa Maria campuses. With an appointment, all pets can be chipped for free. Appointments just for free microchips can also be booked at sbhumane.org/ clinic or by calling (805) 964-4777.

Microchips are not a tracking device. This small identification chip is injected between an animal’s shoulder blades and contains a unique identification number.

When this chip is read by a device at a veterinarian’s office, that number can then be compared against a national database to find contact information for the owner.

E.J. Harrison announces changes to trash service

Starting in July, residential customers of E.J. Harrison & Sons will no longer have to remember which cart to put out each week. Beginning the week of July 5, E.J. Harrison will collect all three carts – trash, recycling and yard waste – every week, at no additional charge. Pickup days of the week will not change. Residents will be able to set out all three carts on their regularly scheduled pickup days for collection.

This service upgrade will provide more room for residents to recycle and allow E.J. Harrison to divert more recyclables and organics from the landfill. For additional information, call (805) 647-1414.

Fourth of July holiday will not delay trash pickup

With the Fourth of July falling on a Sunday this year, the holiday will not affect trash pickup. In the weeks before and after the holiday, trash, recyclables and green waste collection by E.J. Harrison & Sons will not be delayed.

This month, CWA hosted a spring social at the home of June and Rene Van Wingerden. The event was well attended by guests including Supervisor Das Williams, Mayor Wade Nomura, Debbie Nomura, CARP Growers representatives Ed Van Wingerden and Winfred Van Wingerden, Bob McDonald and Case Van Wingerden of the Carpinteria Water District, Santa Barbara Agriculture Commissioner Cathy Fisher and assistants Ian Swisher and Elizabeth Diaz, Chamber of Commerce Carpinteria Liaison Joyce Donaldson, Carpinteria High School Vice Principal Kim Ortega and FFA teachers Sal Lopez and Noe Gomez.

Santa Barbara County, California opens up

BY EVELYN SPENCE

Santa Barbara County and California saw a resurgence on Tuesday, as California opened up for the first time in more than a year – much to the delight of Californians across the state.

In Santa Barbara County, the colored tier system is no longer in place, meaning Santa Barbarans and Carpinterians no longer have restrictions on occupancy limits or on social distancing per the county guidelines.

Under current county guidelines, masks will no longer be required in most settings for fully vaccinated residents; however, they are still required for residents attending mega events, going to work or school and riding on public transportation. Masks must also be worn in healthcare settings and while in homeless and emergency shelters.

Individual businesses are subject to their own guidelines, and can choose whether or not to continue to enforce the mask mandates.

A mega event is one that includes more than 5,000 people indoors or 10,000 people outdoors.

“June 15 does not mark an end to the pandemic, but rather the beginning of a

return to normalcy. I am proud of all our community has done to get us safely to this point. Please remember to stay home if you are sick, continue excellent hand hygiene, and get vaccinated as soon as you can,” Van Do-Reynoso, director of the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, said in a press release.

The county will continue to monitor the spread of Covid-19. As of June 14, 56.1% of those who are eligible in the county are fully vaccinated. The county has seen a total of 34,577 cases and 452 deaths. The south county unincorporated area, which includes Montecito, Summerland and Carpinteria, has seen a total of 1,408 cases and 21 deaths, with no new daily cases.

In Carpinteria, the council extended the outdoor business permit program in early May, meaning businesses may choose to keep their expanded outdoor dining lots in place at least until the end of the calendar year.

A total of 28 outdoor business dining permits, as of May 10, have been issued, City Manager Dave Durflinger said at the Carpinteria City Council’s May 10 meeting. Seven of those permits belong to churches; 14 to eateries; and the remaining seven to gyms and barbershops.

Highway 101 Construction Update

The construction on the stretch between Carpinteria and Santa Barbara is slowly moving forward, with an anticipated reopening of Aug. 2 for the on-ramp at Casitas Pass Road. The onramp will be attached to a wider freeway entrance. During construction, drivers can instead use the new Highway 101 northbound on-ramp at Linden Avenue.

The on-ramp at Sheffield Drive also remains closed, with an anticipated reopening of 2021, and the off-ramp at Sheffield Drive is anticipated to reopen at the end of 2021.

Also on the Sheffield Drive interchange, crews will notify and begin to clear the homeless encampments located between the freeway and the railroad, in preparation for freeway construction on Hwy 101 southbound.

On the Hwy 101 northbound, the stretch between Bailard Avenue to Sheffield drive, and the on-ramps and off-ramps at North Padaro Lane and Santa Claus Lane, will continue to see construction Sunday nights between 9 p.m. and 5 p.m. on a singular late.

The same stretch will see construction between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. between Monday and Thursday nights. During the week of June 20, the off-ramp at Santa Monica Road will be closed, between 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

On the Hwy 101 southbound, the stretch between Sheffield Drive to Casitas Pass Road, and the on- and off- ramps at North Padaro Lane and Santa Claus Lane, will see construction on Sunday nights between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

On the Franklin and Santa Monica Creek bridges, construction crews will begin to excavate the soil and install underground supports in preparation for building sound walls over each bridge.

At right, construction crews have begun installing rebar and concrete on the area between Sheffield Drive and North Padaro Lane.

CITY BEAT City Council will return to in-person meetings in July

Coastal View News • Tel: (805) 684-4428

BY EVELYN SPENCE

Carpinteria City Manager Dave Durflinger confirmed at City Council’s June 14 regular meeting that while California has opened up and Santa Barbara County has lifted its restrictions, California’s emergency declarations still remain in place, meaning the council will likely continue to hold virtual meetings until July.

The emergency declaration allowed modifications to the Brown Act, which governs how governments across the state conduct their meetings.

“We’ll continue to have flexibility on how we provide and accommodate the public at meetings going forward, through either September or perhaps before that,” Durflinger said.

He explained that current plans for City Hall involve staff returning in July but said that staff may be required to wear masks. Beginning Tuesday, June 15, Carpinterians can now visit City Hall again for services, he said, but there may be adjustments through this week until “we get fully set up at City Hall to accommodate the public.” “(It’s) really a happy occasion to make a big leap forward to normalcy here in Carpinteria and throughout the state,” Durflinger said.

2021-2022 City approves draft budget

The council approved a draft of the 2021-2022 city budget and year-end changes to the 2020-2021 budget at its regular June 14 meeting, which includes lifting the hiring freeze.

Durflinger noted that there are a few issues with the 2021-2022 budget, including that the general fund will have a deficit of $660,000. In total, the projected budget assumes revenues of $22 million, or a 7.3% increase from the prior year, and expenditures of $26 million, or a 38.1% increase from the following year.

The changes in revenues are attributed to increases in property tax, transient occupancy tax, state and local sales taxes and the one-time American Rescue Plan Act. The changes in expenditures will mainly arise from city library start-up costs, wages and labor benefits – such as new city library staff and increases in benefits – and capital projects, such as the skate park, the Rincon multi-use trail, the East Via Real Stormwater and pavement replacement.

“Going forward, we’re going to have to continue to monitor spending and revenues carefully. Some combination of expense reduction and revenue growth are going to be required to close this gap, relying currently of course on one-time revenue from the federal government,” Durflinger said. “Those are only two years’ worth of money.”

“We’re going to have to get revenues in line with expenditures going forward.”

He added that there was a lot of expense volatility during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Councilmember Gregg A. Carty called the budget “the most complex budget this city has ever seen,” in part due to the fluctuations the pandemic caused.

The budget in full can be viewed on the city website.

Request for recognition of city of Carpinteria municipal library

The city council unanimously approved the submission of a letter to the California Library Services Board, requesting that the board recognize the city of Carpinteria’s municipal library and the Black Gold Cooperative membership.

The council voted on May 24 to estab-

Thursday, June 17, 2021  5

lish a municipal library in Carpinteria and approved the plans to staff it.

“The city of Santa Barbara has acknowledged the Carpinteria Library’s withdrawal from the Santa Barbara Public Library as a part of the city’s formation of an independent municipal library. The city of Carpinteria has also received recognition from the county of Santa Barbara as an independent municipal library and will be developing a new county library zone to be administered by the city of Carpinteria,” the letter reads.

Carpinteria, City Council job openings

Durflinger said that city hall has a number of job openings available, which can be viewed on the city’s website.

Those jobs include: aquatics beach program coordinator; aquatics superintendent; beach lifeguard (part-time); city clerk; civil engineer; concessions manager (part-time); engineering technician; pool

lifeguard (part-time); program manager for the Emergency and Volunteer Services and Neighborhood Community Outreach; and school crossing guard (part-time.)

He said there will be additional job postings in the coming weeks.

County stunt?

On May 21, Santa Barbara County counsel Mike Ghizzoni initiated his first enforcement action against cannabis grower Island Breeze Farms. The second cause of action, nuisance, alleges “a serious threat to the…health…and… peaceable…enjoyment of property” by residents because the county has received “several” odor complaints “in the past two years.”

If odor complaints mean a nuisance action (which they can and should) then here is a trick question: why single-out this particular grower? Sure, they allegedly don’t have a license or a permit but so what? A nuisance is a nuisance! Here is the county’s dilemma: if one grow is a nuisance, then hundreds of grows are a countywide public nuisance that they are required to abate.

Be happy for small miracles, but we have a mountain to climb – 186 cannabis acres in Carpinteria Valley – and I suspect this action is to push a false “all good” county and grower narrative. Only time will tell if I’m correct.

Jeff Giordano Santa Barbara

Surfliner referendum, a costly action

As I understand it, the minority against the Surfliner Inn is calling for a referendum to determine if this project can proceed. Unfortunately, the cost involved in such an action is going to be a significant amount of taxpayer’s money, which the city should, and could, be using for additional city improvements.

I continue to be amazed at the short sightedness coming from this group. “More than a thousand Carpinterians” have spoken – if you count the many vacation owners and landlords who don’t live here, I think maybe you can get to half that number. “Safeguard the coastal urban wildlife open space corridor.” What? “Preserving mountain views.” Give me a break.

Take a look at the improvements made in the parking lot behind Sushi Teri. They could barely find the money to pay for it. And it made a huge difference in useability.

Fact: there will be between eight and 12 additional parking spaces available when this project is completed, not fewer.

Fact: some of the people behind this project have private gardens on the very land they are trying to preserve.

Fact: Surfliner will bring sorely needed jobs to our town and desperately needed revenue to our city.

Don’t allow a minority of self-interested people to waste precious money on this initiative.

––Garrett Ready

the first Superfund site. We seem to have a mini version of that occurring right here in our community. There is a steady stream of water running along a conduit separating our city limit from Santa Barbara County. The water appears to originate just behind the Carpinteria Cemetery, courses along the western edge of Sandpiper Mobile Home Park and empties into the Carpinteria Salt Marsh.

A water analysis was done by Santa Barbara Channelkeeper and the results showed it was “off the chart” in nitrates.

E-coli and bacteria were also found. Not tested for, but suspected, are pesticides.

It appears that some county growers are dumping their tail or wastewater into the conduit because of a particular perk that farmers and growers enjoy called an “agricultural waiver.” This waiver gives them the legal right to do this if they have a permit and does not include pesticides.

However, my reading of the waiver indicates there is no local, state or federal oversight of this practice and the growers are on a sort of honor system. What can possibly go wrong here?

What is more troubling, besides emptying into our beloved Salt Marsh, is that it is harmful to humans and especially children. All the responsible authorities have been notified and we are waiting for a complete analysis from the Regional Water Quality Control Board to determine what is to be done about this situation. In the meantime, it would be wise for those Sandpiper residents living near this water to avoid any contact with it, and for sure don’t drink the water.

Three cheers for Little League organizers

I am writing to tell you how glad I am that Carpinteria Valley Little League had a season this year. It was shortened, but it was still a lot of fun. Last year, I was 12 years old and moving up to a new division. I was excited to play with new rules when the season was cancelled. I was very disappointed. I am so glad we were able to play this year and I would like to say thank you to all the people that helped make it possible.

Small school, big heart

The past two school years have had their ups and downs – like when we did virtual learning. But every day we found our way and got better. We were one of the first schools to open up even though we did cohorts A & B. We still pushed through and, like my teacher Dr. Colson says, we will come back stronger than ever and be like water and find a way.

Even though we had Zoom and cohorts A & B and masks, we are a small school but a big Summerland School family with a big heart.

Biden concerns

I didn’t vote for Joe Biden, but I wanted him to do well. I’m conservative. I try to avoid being harsh or nasty in my letters. I appeal to my liberal friends to offer some sunshine in the darkness I now envision.

Biden created the border crisis that exists and now virtually ignores it. He simply doesn’t want to go there (as he should) for fear of letting us view the tragic situation. He put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge. She hasn’t visited the border and her recent trips to Mexico and Guatemala were a disaster.

Her interviews were, quite frankly, illogical and embarrassing. Even a Democratic colleague used the word “cringeworthy.”

Biden’s economic policies are, as many anticipated, leading to inflation. For instance, gasoline prices are now one dollar per gallon higher than when he assumed the presidency. His give-away spending policies have created the fuel needed for inflation: too much money chasing too few items before the economy recovers.

His energy policies (among other things, stopping the Keystone pipeline) are simply a “cart before the horse” situation. In his rush for the Green New Deal, he doesn’t seem to realize that fossil fuels will be needed to create computers, batteries, solar panels and wind turbines. He is putting us back on the dangerous path to relying on other countries for energy.

We were energy independent before he assumed office.

Biden has contradicted himself by saying on one occasion that climate change is our biggest crisis, and on another occasion, saying our biggest challenge is white supremacy. He simply says what he thinks his audience wants to hear. Frankly, I don’t consider either to be our biggest crisis.

I hope progressive friends will make me feel better about Biden. We may disagree, but I love you all.

For the record...

In last week's news item, "Coalition to petition for zoning change to Amtrak parking lot," a mistake was made in the number of days the group will have to circulate the petition once it's approved by the city. Petitioners will have 180 days to secure signatures from 10% of the city’s registered voters.

In last week's article, "New shop features 'bee meets beach,'" one of the owners of Santa Barbara Hives was identified with the wrong last name. The correct names of the owners are Ashley Farrell and Barnaby Draper.

Clementine’s Steak House is not closing Property is for sale

BY DEBRA HERRICK A buzz was ignited on social media last week after Coldwell Banker listed 4631 Carpinteria Ave. for sale. The property is home to Clementine’s Steak House, one of Carpinteria’s oldest and most beloved family dining establishments.

But make no mistake, Clementine’s is not putting out its 46-year legacy anytime soon, Lloyd McLenithan, who has been the owner for nearly four decades, said on Friday.

“A lot of Carpinterians are calling us and coming by confused – thinking that we’re closing up shop. We’re not. We plan on being here for a longtime. We just don’t own the property and that’s being sold,” McLenithan said.

The property is owned by family members of the original Clementine’s restauranteurs who, 39 years ago, sold the business to McLenithan, his late mother, Irene McLenithan, and his sister, Esther McVay. Those original owners have now passed away and the out-of-state family is looking at the option of selling the property on which, in addition to the restaurant, there is a residential duplex.

McLenithan has the first right of refusal on purchasing the property but will more likely be looking to pursue a long-term lease with the new owners, if the property is sold. “You never know in this market who will be interested or if anybody,” said McLenithan.

The property is currently listed for $2.3 million.

And if the new owners had different plans for the restaurant space? McLenithan admits that would be a hurdle but said he is confident Clementine’s would be able to find a new home.

“We’re not done as Clementine’s,” he said. “We’ll do our best to deal with that situation if it occurs. But we’re not in any way shape or form ending our Clementine’s legacy.”

Clementine’s has kept true to the old-fashioned American dining experience. Take for instance, its continued tradition of bringing out a complementary slice of homemade pie with every meal.

“Nobody does that anymore. We are one of the last dinosaurs who does that,”

All of Clementine’s some 13 varieties of pies – including apple, blackberry, rhubarb and cream – are made in-house and from scratch.

“We do everything here and that’s not going to change,” said McLenithan.

While McLenithan’s mother has since passed away and his sister now lives in Montana, he works alongside a devoted team of locals.

“We have an outstanding crew,” he said. “Some people have been with me for 25 years.”

California’s June 15 reopening will allow for more diners inside Clementine’s, but the restaurant will keep the new outdoor patio open – built for pandemic dining – as long as people want to be outside. “It’s a very nice spot to relax,” said McLenithan.

While McLenithan believes that Clementine’s steaks are the best quality around, his favorite dish on the menu is the halibut. For pie, he’s having the apple, but admits that he’d have them all if he could.

Hey, baby!

Clementine’s is not putting out its 46-year legacy anytime soon, Lloyd McLenithan, who has been the owner of the Carpinteria Avenue staple for nearly four decades, said on Friday.

Appeal denied, Glass House Farms’ expansion moves forward

BY RYAN P. CRUZ

On June 9, the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission denied an appeal filed in an attempt to prevent Glass House Farms’ latest expansion project – a 25,000 square foot cannabis processing warehouse in the Carpinteria Valley.

The appeal, filed by Carpinteria resident Sarah Trigueiro, was struck down in a 4-1 vote, with only commissioner John Parke dissenting. The decision holds up the zoning administrator’s approval for the construction of G&K/Glass House Farms’ processing facility at 3561 Foothill Road.

The project – which also includes improvements to the facility’s current HVAC and water systems – would bring 50 new full-time employees for the cannabis processing plant. I “I find this project to be a light in a dark tunnel that hopefully we can prove is really the standard for all future processing and eventually greenhouses,” Planning Commission Vice Chair C. Michael Cooney said.

Trigueiro is one of many vocal citizens opposing the growing cannabis industry in the region, including a grassroots organization, Concerned Carpinterians, and the broader Santa Barbara Coalition for Responsible Cannabis. She lives in the La Mirada existing developed rural neighborhood, which is the closest residential-zoned district to the proposed project site.

The appeal was based on the contention that the project was outside the scope of the cannabis Programmatic Environmental Impact Report and would have adverse effects on air quality, utilities, agricultural resources, traffic and noise in the area.

Trigueiro also argued that the project “compounds and existing, unaddressed nuisance.” She said G&K only adds fur-

ther to the issues raised by concerned residents regarding the strong smell emanating from cannabis grows in Carpinteria.

“We’re regularly subjected to noxious cannabis fumes that, frankly, put our quality of life and health at risk,” Trigueiro said.

She contended that although G&K was trying innovative ways to reduce its impact, allowing them to expand does not properly address the concerns of those opposed to the marijuana industry being in their backyards.

“The applicant has no doubt been testing new approaches, and while I appreciate that, the issues remain. The nuisance remains,” she said Founder and president of G&K/Glass House Farms, Graham Farrar, spoke on his own behalf regarding the project and addressed the concerns of the appeal. He said that the arguments regarding odor

The appeal, filed by Carpinteria resident Sarah Trigueiro, was struck down in a 4-1 vote, with only commissioner John Parke dissenting.

“I find this project to be a light in a dark tunnel that hopefully we can prove is really the standard for all future processing and eventually greenhouses.”

––Planning Commission Vice Chair C. Michael Cooney

management do not apply because the new processing warehouse would be an “air-tight, sealed building designed and engineered to control cannabis odors.”

He added that it would set a new standard in Carpinteria by using the “best available” odor-control technology. He said he wanted to clarify that the new building would not be used to grow plants or expand the farm’s existing cultivation operation.

“Processing has nothing to do with

manufacturing – there’s no extraction. It’s literally taking a plant from a greenhouse, drying it, and then trimming it with scissors,” he said.

The appeal’s focus was limited to the addition of the new processing plant and would not have affected G&K’s five existing greenhouses and one warehouse already operating on the property. Farrar also said that suggestions made in the appeal were evaluated and then integrated into the updated plans of the project;

he added that Trigueiro’s concerns were valid, and the cannabis industry should work to improve in these areas.

“Within Sarah’s appeal were a number of great suggestions, which we appreciate,” Farrar said. These included a stateof-the-art HVAC duct system and a timed system designed to mitigate odors hourly, Farrar noted.

Commissioner Parke said he hopes that odor abatement plan provisions will be included going forward in projects like this, so that both those in the cannabis industry and the residents concerned over its growth can be content that the issue of an overwhelming smell will be handled directly.

The planning commission’s decision sets the stage for future cannabis business battles in the area, as more companies attempt to expand in California’s latest booming sector, and as those opposed to its proximity to their backyards fight to keep them away.

Carpinteria cannabis deals: the pushback

BY MELINDA BURNS A grower’s proposal to build the most airtight cannabis processing warehouse in the Carpinteria Valley has exposed a growing rift between the citizens’ groups that for years have pressed the county to rein in the fast-expanding cannabis industry.

Activists took opposing sides this month as the county Planning Commission approved zoning permits for a 25,400 square-foot warehouse next to five previously approved cannabis greenhouses at 3561 Foothill Road. The operation, called G&K Farms, is co-owned by Graham Farrar, a founder of CARP Growers, a group of 14 cannabis operators with about 20 separate “grows” in the valley.

One hundred members of Concerned Carpinterians, a loose-knit organization of about 300 residents, signed a petition urging the commission to vote “no” on the warehouse project. They have long complained that Farrar’s greenhouses on Foothill are sending waves of the “skunky” smell of marijuana into their homes day and night on the prevailing winds, causing them to suffer nausea, headaches and respiratory problems.

An appeal heard at the Planning Commission’s June 9 meeting was filed by Sara Trigueiro, a resident of La Mirada Drive above Foothill, where she has a sweeping view of cannabis greenhouses between Nidever and Casitas Pass roads.

In its petition to the commission, and in support of Trigueiro’s appeal of the

warehouse project, Concerned Carpinterians claimed that the county has not been conducting quarterly odor inspections at G&K Farms. The inspections were required as part of Farrar’s greenhouse permit, but county officials say it would be impossible to pinpoint the source of any odors. The inspections must wait, they say, until three neighboring greenhouse operations can get their zoning permits.

Collaboration vs. confrontation

At the June 9 hearing, Trigueiro took aim at Farrar and the county, but she also had some sharp words for Marc Chytilo, an attorney for the Santa Barbara Coalition for Responsible Cannabis, a nonprofit group of 200 residents from Carpinteria to the Cuyama Valley who have filed lawsuits and dozens of project appeals against cannabis growers.

Like Concerned Carpinterians, the coalition has sought – without much success – to convince the county Board of Supervisors to amend its permissive cannabis ordinances and crack down on what both groups view as an out-of-control industry.

But in recent months, Chytilo has angered some members of Concerned Carpinterians by negotiating odor control agreements behind closed doors with cannabis operators, including, most recently, CARP Growers and Farrar. To date, three such agreements have been incorporated during public hearings into the growers’ zoning permits for cannabis

cultivation. The coalition has promised those growers that it will not sue them.

Trigueiro is not impressed: she asked the commissioners to describe any communications they had had with Chytilo about Farrar’s warehouse.

Commissioner John Parke of Solvang responded that Chytilo had emailed him a message before the hearing, saying that the coalition “has worked with Graham and feels his project is worthy of support” based on “next-generation” odor-control technology.

Commissioner Mike Cooney, who represents the Carpinteria Valley, said Chytilo had left a message for him also, saying he was representing “concerned citizens, a group of citizens concerned generally about cannabis activities in the Carpinteria Valley.”

Trigueiro shot back: “He is not my representative. But perhaps he represents the applicant?”

Cooney said this week that his remarks had been misunderstood. Chytilo, he said, had told him he was representing the coalition and made no mention of Concerned Carpinterians.

“Role of government”

At the hearing, Parke asked Trigueiro if she knew about the odor control and complaint management agreement that the coalition had negotiated with members of the Van Wingerden family at CVW Organic Farms on Cravens Lane. The agreement requires the growers to monitor for the smell of cannabis in residen-

tial neighborhoods during harvest time, aggressively respond to complaints and install “best available control technology” to keep the “skunky” smell from escaping from nearly 13 acres of future cannabis greenhouses.

Trigueiro was dismissive of such agreements, telling Parke: “I don’t (think) they’re worth the paper they’re written on from an enforceability standpoint, pragmatically. And the reason for that is that private-party agreements are only enforceable if you want to take them to court or to arbitration. You still end up with a situation where the grower is making a determination as to whether an odor complaint has merit, and that doesn’t sit right with me.”

It is the role of government, Trigueiro said, “to be an independent arbiter and decider, based on empirical information as to these odor complaints that residents quite genuinely have.”

Trigueiro then vowed to appeal the commission’s vote all the way up to the state Coastal Commission, if necessary.

The state panel has not yet weighed in on any cannabis project in the Carpinteria Valley.

Concerned Carpinterians recently waged a letters campaign against the nomination of county Supervisor Das Williams, a Carpinteria resident and chief architect of the cannabis ordinance, to

Santa Barbara County brings suit against noncompliant cannabis grows

BY MELINDA BURNS

In a report to the county Board of Supervisors last week, county counsel Michael Ghizzoni described several enforcement actions initiated by the county against cannabis operations in the Carpinteria Valley and west of Buellton.

Speaking during budget hearings on June 8, Ghizzoni told the Board of Supervisors that, acting on eight odor complaints from Carpinteria residents, the county filed a lawsuit in Santa Barbara Superior Court on May 21 against Island View Ranch LLC and Island Breeze Farms LLC – the landowner and operator, respectively, of a two-acre cannabis “grow” at 3376 Foothill Road.

The lawsuit alleges that the business has been a “continuing public nuisance” since at least March of 2019 and should be shut down. It is the county’s first public nuisance lawsuit against a cannabis operation.

Island Breeze, the lawsuit contends, “has not diligently pursued” a zoning permit for more than two years and is illegally growing and packaging commercial cannabis without proper county and state business licenses. Those licenses, it states, can be granted only if a grower is “in the process of complying with local ordinances.”

In another first for the county, Ghizzoni said, the lawsuit also invokes the state’s Unfair Competition Law against a cannabis grower, alleging that Island View and Island Breeze are profiting “to the detriment of lawful cannabis businesses operating in the county” by misleading the public and failing to comply with “regulatory safety measures.”

Representatives of Island View and Island Breeze could not be reached for comment.

Revoked licenses

In a separate matter, Sunshine Organics Greens Inc., a 144,000 square-foot

The Island Breeze Farms cannabis operation, shown here at 3376 Foothill Road, is across the road from the entrance to the Polo Condos, a complex of 140 apartments next to the polo grounds. greenhouse operation at 6030 Casitas Pass Road, “surrendered” its 12 provisional state licenses for cannabis cultivation to the California Department of Food and Agriculture on June 7, Ghizzoni told the board.

It was another first, he said; the county had previously notified the state agency that Sunshine Organics was not moving expeditiously through its zoning permit application process. Ghizzoni said the county also told state officials that the landowner had withdrawn his authorization for Sunshine Organics Greens to grow cannabis there.

County records show that Joseph Magazino, the Sunshine Organics operator, filed a lawsuit last year against Case Van Wingerden, the property owner; the suit was scheduled for trial in the Santa Barbara County Superior Court on June 15.

Illegal expansion

Finally, Ghizzoni told the board, the operators of Lion Eye LLC, a 12-acre outdoor cannabis operation at 7261 Domingos Road west of Buellton, withdrew a

the Coastal Commission. He didn’t get the job; it went instead to Santa Barbara Councilwoman Meagan Harmon.

Anonymous attacks

Within hours of the June 9 hearing, Concerned Carpinterians sent out the first of two unsigned emails to county leaders, accusing Chytilo of “misrepresenting” who his clients were.

In one email, the group asked the Planning Commission to consider filing a complaint against Chytilo with the State Bar of California. The group also called on the commission to conduct an “ethics inquiry” into a $20,000 donation from CARP Growers to the Foothills Forever fundraising campaign. Chytilo helped lead that effort, which recently reached its $18 million goal for the purchase of 100 acres in the San Marcos Foothills.

“Who is Marc Chytilo ACTUALLY representing is a question that needs to be answered,” the email from Concerned Carpinterians said, asserting that “the facts presently suggest that he may be backing cannabis growers, not the community …”

This week, Chytilo called the emails “unfortunate” and said he “did not appreciate being vilified through a smear campaign.”

“These attacks prove that no good deed goes unpunished,” Chytilo said.

“I’m working hard to try and solve a difficult community problem.”

Voluntary odor control agreements

The coalition and CARP Growers expect to announce a joint odor control agreement next month, further refining the deal that’s in place for CVW Farms, Chytilo said. Both sides, he said, want to ensure that there’s no odor detectible at the growers’ property lines.

“There’s no ordinance that can do that,” Chytilo said. “By voluntary agreement, everybody’s working to make it happen.”

In all, the county has received permit applications for 222 acres of greenhouse cannabis cultivation in the Carpinteria Valley; 186 acres will be allowed, and 82 acres have been approved to date.

“The county ordinance is so weak, particularly on enforcement, that we have to get something else in place,” said Rob Salomon, a coalition board member. “The agreements we’re negotiating are not perfect. There’s going to be no perfect in this; it’s too new.”

Referring to Concerned Carpinterians, Salomon said, “We call it negotiating with the growers; they call it collaboration with overtones of evil. I don’t understand. I think what we’re doing is good. It gets the growers to commit, investigate and

lawsuit they had filed against the county.

Ruling in the case in March, Administrative Law Judge Eric Sawyer found that the Lion Eye owner, Elizabeth Story Long, and her agent, Stacey Wooten, had illegally installed 56 hoop houses in 2017 and expanded their cannabis cultivation into a small barn and Quonset hut, in violation of the county zoning ordinance.

From a couple hundred marijuana plants in 2015, the operation had expanded to 8,000 plants.

In 2015, Lion Eye was a small medical marijuana “grow.” The county allowed Lion Eye to continue as a “legal, non-conforming” operation after 2015 if it applied for a zoning permit and county and state business licenses. Under the county zoning ordinance, “legal, non-conforming” operations may not be “enlarged, extended or increased” without a permit.

In early 2019, the record shows, acting on a complaint about unpermitted hoop structures at Lion Eye, the county’s Planning & Development Department sent the operators a notice of zoning violations and gave them 30 days to remove the

illegal plantings.

Judge Sawyer found that the installation of 56 hoop-houses at Lion Eye represented “a significant change to the operation of the premises,” noting that the plantings “can now extend throughout more of the year after the weather turns cold.” In addition, he said, the testimony in the case confirmed there had been no marijuana plants in the barn or the hut at Lion Eye in 2015.

The judge upheld a $9,500 fine that the county had assessed against the operators in early 2020 for failing to remove the illegal plantings; he said Long and Wooten were jointly responsible for paying it.

“My feeling is that a lot of members of CARP Growers really do want to be a good industry, one that is not smelled along the roadways or interferes with the quality of people’s lives.”

treat the indoor air, and “air curtains” at the entrances to further prevent smells from escaping.

“We designed this building to be airtight from the beginning, not a conversion from a packing house,” Farrar said. “It will be the first-of-a-kind in Carpinteria.”

At the warehouse, Farrar plans to process cannabis from both G&K Farms and Glass House Farms, a cannabis operation he co-owns at 5601 Casitas Pass Road.

Currently, he sends most of his plants to Lompoc for processing.

Farrar told the commissioners he had delayed the warehouse project for 18 months, incorporating “every suggestion” that Trigueiro made so that smells from processing, he said, “will not be detectible in residential zones.”

“We are indeed committed to improving the odor on Foothill Road,” Farrar said. “…We are confident that this project will make that better.”

Cooney called the warehouse project “a light in a dark tunnel” and said it “will do nothing but set a high standard for future processing plants.”

“We could hardly do better,” he said.

“We need to have processing done locally, and we need to have it done well.”

“Airtight” warehouse

In voting 4-1 on June 9 to approve Farrar’s cannabis processing warehouse, the Planning Commission said it could not address the existing odors at G&K Farms in the same vote; any upgrades to the greenhouses would require a separate zoning permit.

According to Chytilo, Farrar is willing to install state-of-the-art odor-control technology at the greenhouses as part of the CARP Growers agreement with the coalition.

Parke was the only “no” vote on the warehouse; he said it should have included a robust plan for responding to odor complaints.

The processing of cannabis – the trimming, drying and packaging of marijuana plants – is the smelliest part of commercial cannabis operations. Farrar is proposing to construct a “building-within-a building” with an interior shell; an outdoor vapor-neutralizing system; 19 carbon filters indoors to “scrub” the smell of cannabis; a “negative pressure” ventilation system to more thoroughly

Dedicated city employee, Community Emergency Response Team manager retires

BY EVELYN SPENCE

When Mimi Audelo looks back at her five and a half years working for the city of Carpinteria, what she remembers most is the people. “(Carpinteria) is the most welcoming community,” she said. “I did have a lot of community partnerships and made good friendships. It was the best place for me to work – I have a very long working history, and Carpinteria was absolutely the best.”

Audelo served in multifaceted roles during her time working for the city.

She ran the city host volunteer program, worked in community outreach and served as the program manager for the Community Emergency Response Team – a job made doubly hard during the Thomas Fire, the Montecito mudslides and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Audelo said she was on the job “not two months” when she got a call at 3 a.m. to “assist with organizing, because there was a fire on the other side of the county line.”

“Then we had the Thomas Fire, the debris flow, the pandemic. It was a lot,” she said.

Her most memorable moment on the job came on Jan. 8, 2018 – the night before the Montecito mudslides, when the storm hit the county, and everything shut down.

“The city activated the EOC (emergency operation center) preparing for the incoming storm. When the storm hit, we lost all communications. Most of the city was without cable, phones and cell phones. We didn’t know how bad the damage was because there was

no means of communication,” she said, noting that Highway 101 was closed in both directions.

“Within a couple hours, we knew it was really bad (…) I had to be escorted by the CHP to get home. Over the next couple weeks, the 1/9 Debris Flow brought the community of Carpinteria together assisting those in need. I saw the same response from the Carpinteria community over the last 15 months during the Covid-19 pandemic. So many coming together to help those in need.”

When Covid-19 hit, Audelo said her job took a “complete pivot” to focus solely on Covid-19 response and recovery. She said she worked close with City Manager Dave Durflinger to ensure that the correct information went out to city residents, but said that oftentimes, information they disseminated on Monday was no longer relevant by Tuesday.

“Nobody had been through a pandemic before, so we were just learning as we went,” she added.

Audelo has since moved to Washington, DC with her husband, to be closer to their daughter. They plan on building a small home behind their daughter’s house to live during their retirements; she said retirement has taken some adjusting.

But she won’t forget Carpinteria.

“On my lunchtime sometimes, I was able to go down Linden Avenue to the beach, and it was more than once that I was able to see dolphins playing off the coast. I saw a pod of whales one time,” she said.

“It was just a really nice place to reenergize.”

Local farmer wins accolades for home-grown coffee

Mike Masino, owner of Rancho Delfino – located above the ocean in Gobernador Canyon – is one of many farmers tackling coffee harvesting in Santa Barbara County. Masino’s newly-launched FRINJ Geisha Coffee recently received the impressive cupping score of 93 – rated on its balance, acidity, body, flavor and aroma.

Masino, whose background is in construction, purchased Rancho Delfino in 2013. The ranch has avocado orchards that date back to the 1940s. But then he became curious about the possibility of growing coffee in his own backyard, so he visited FRINJ Coffee in Goleta. FRINJ

Coffee has been successfully growing craft coffee outside of the tropics at its headquarters in Goleta for decades and the company founder, Jay Ruskey, teaches other local farmers to do the same.

After planting 500 coffee plants – many of which he lost to the cold – he learned how to protect them from the winter freeze. Over time, his coffee beans began to thrive. Now, his coffee features notes of honeycomb, bergamot and vanilla cola.

“I love that people don’t think it grows here,” said Masino. “They’re shocked when I tell them I’m growing coffee and it will probably be the best coffee they will ever experience.”

Grown on the rich soil of an avocado ranch, Masino’s coffee features notes of honeycomb, bergamot and vanilla cola.

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Pie

PASTRIES IN PARADISE H E AT H E R G I A C O N E This issue marks my one-year anniversary of sharing recipes with you! In celebration, I want to share my Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Pie – probably my all-time favorite dessert – which is served warm with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. Yum! The flaky, buttery crust with a tangy, yet sweet filling, and the delicious crispy topping, makes this dessert irresistible.

If you aren’t familiar with rhubarb, it’s a tart edible stalk that can be handled similarly to celery. Come late spring and early summer, rhubarb grows everywhere in upstate New York, so I became acquainted with this ingredient at an early age. I have fond memories of making my first pies with my mom’s dear friend, Cindy. I had the standard pie recipe memorized by the time I was six and was constantly caught making a mess, baking all sorts of different pies in my mother’s once clean kitchen. May this summer classic bring you as much joy as it has brought me.

Pie dough

1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour (divided) 1 t salt ½ t sugar 8 ounces or 2 sticks of unsalted butter 1/3 cup ice water

Strawberry rhubarb filling

3 cups sliced rhubarb (half-pieces) 3 cups strawberries, destemmed and cut into quarters ¼ cup fresh lemon juice ¼ cup fresh orange juice ¼ cup maple syrup ¾ cup sugar ½ cup flour ½ t salt 4 ounce or 1 stick of melted butter ½ t vanilla extract

Crisp topping

1 cup flour ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar ⅓ cup rolled oats ½ t salt ¼ t cinnamon 4 ounce or 1 stick butter, cold cut into a small dice Preheat the oven to 350° F. Butter a deep 9” round pie pan.

Pie crust

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix 1 cup of flour with salt and sugar. Cut the cold butter into pea sized pieces and add to the flour mixture. Mix butter and flour together for about a minute on medium speed. Add remaining flour and continue mixing another minute. Add the water and mix until incorporated.

Form the dough into a disc shape and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least an hour.

Roll chilled dough into a circle and trim to a 13-inch round and about ⅛ inch thick.

Ease into the prepared pie pan leaving a 1-inch overhang. Tuck the overhanging dough under itself and crimp edges together.

Sprinkle crumb topping over the top of your pie. Bake for 1 hour or until the filling is shiny and bubbling and your crust is golden brown. Enjoy!

“Oxygen”

DUNCAN’S REEL DEAL M AT T D U N C A N In the 11th century, Islamic philosopher Ibn Sina – more commonly known in the West as “Avicenna” – introduced a thought experiment. He asked us to imagine that someone – you, let’s say – was created an instant ago in a blank void.

You have no memories, beliefs, thoughts, nor can you see, hear, smell, taste or feel anything. You’re just floating in the void.

Imagine what that would be like. Would it be like anything at all? Or would it just be lights out, no one’s home?

Now consider a different, more modern version of the thought experiment.

Imagine that you woke up an instant ago strapped into a futuristic pod. You don’t know where you are, and you can’t remember how you got there. Nor can you remember much of anything else.

You can see things – such as the contours of the pod with its futuristic screens and displays, buttons and mechanisms. You can hear things – most notably MILO, the pod’s AI “assistant.” And you certainly can feel things – like the straps restricting your movement and a tightly bound wrap enclosing most of your body, as well as the racing of your heart, the burning of your lungs, and the confusion, anxiety and sheer terror evoked by your situation.

So, unlike Avicenna’s “Flying Man” thought experiment, you have all sorts of sensory experiences. But you don’t know what to make of them. In that way, you’re a blank page, starting from scratch.

What do you?

This is “Oxygen” – a new Netflix Original sci-fi thriller. Elizabeth Hansen (Melanie Laurent), who at first only knows of herself by the computer code name assigned to her, wakes up blank-page-like in a pod. She has flashes of memory, but she doesn’t know much about who she is, where she is, or how she got there.

What she does know is that something is wrong with the pod. MILO (Mathieu Amalric) tells her that there’s been a malfunction, an error. That, no doubt, is why she’s awake.

OK, now she wants out. But she can’t get out. She doesn’t have the required admin password.

Another thing Hansen learns pretty quickly – because MILO keeps telling her – is that her oxygen is running low.

She only has so much time to figure things out. And, of course, the more she panics the harder she breathes, and the harder she breathes the quicker the oxygen runs out.

So Hansen has to get it together and solve her problem quickly. MILO helps some – he’ll answer any question he’s programmed to answer. But he’s only programmed to answer – or do – so much. He’s a smart AI, but it’s not like he knows, or gets, what Hansen is thinking, feeling and wanting such that he can just cut to the chase and devise a strategy for her escape.

That’s up to Hansen. She’s got to figure it out. Eventually she finds a way to call the police. They seem willing to help. But they need more info about Hansen’s situation. Which she of course doesn’t have.

She is able to give them the manufacturer and serial number of the pod, but the police can’t locate it. They need more info.

As Hansen thinks, thinks, thinks, memories start to come back in little bits.

With the help of MILO, she’s able to piece together that she’s a well-known scientist who works on cryogenics, and she has a husband who appears to be sick. But things end up being more complicated – and surprising – than anyone in that state could imagine.

Still, she’s only got so long to figure it out. Oxygen at 23%. 14%. 8%. 3% …

“Oxygen” is captivating. It is beautifully simple. The entirety of it takes place in an area not much larger than a casket. Yet it explores vast themes about the far reaches of technology, the nature of personal identity, and the future of humankind. As the information trickles in, there’s more to think about, more to ponder.

The puzzle itself is a futuristic Sherlock Holmes story. Hansen has to piece it together; we have to piece it together. The tension feels real. Not only do we have to think it through, we know we’re on the clock – stuck in a tiny space with naught but our wits and dwindling air to breathe.

Stuck in a tiny space with naught but our wits and dwindling air – I suppose that’s how a lot of us have felt over the past year (the creators of “Oxygen” know this, of course, along with other relevant details about how things are going for us humans). Which makes the film all the more effective, more relatable and more real.

People differ in their reactions to Avicenna’s “Flying Man” – some agree that they’d still be self-aware in such a scenario, others say it’d just be nothingness.

But it’s all too easy to know what it’d be like in the “Oxygen” scenario. And it’s breathtaking.

“Oxygen” is rated TV-14.

Paying it forward: Curtis Lopez

As the community returns to normal, what volunteering projects are you looking forward to?

Aside from all the Lions projects, I’m looking forward to the Relay for Life, CEF’s Ocean 2 Orchard run and our chamber events.

MISSION POSSIBLE

What do you think is the importance of serving one’s community?

The spirit of Carpinteria is its people.

We have so many caring, giving individuals and I feel humbled to be among them.

As I discovered in Lions, we can do much more as a group than as an individual. As a side note, you also build lasting friendships and of course have fun.

LAUREN GRAF While some locals can say they’ve volunteered as long as they’ve lived in Carpinteria, a select few can say they’ve volunteered longer than Carpinteria has been a town. Curtis Lopez is one of those special individuals.

Even before the town’s incorporation in 1965, this sixth generation Carpinterian had been giving back through his local Boy Scout troop, sponsored by the Carpinteria Lions Club. Since then, Lopez has been paying this generosity forward by living his life according to the Lions motto, “We Serve.”

Lopez is a pillar of the Lions Club of Carpinteria, said current club president Casey Balch.

“He has been a longtime reporter for our weekly bulletin and a wonderful mentor to all those in the club. We have been fortunate to hear him sing each week as he leads us in song to start our meetings… Curtis has helped on too many community project to count, and still continues to volunteer eagerly when any new project arises.”

It is a challenge to find a corner of Carpinteria that Lopez hasn’t touched with his volunteering. Lopez has supported the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, the Carpinteria Education Foundation and the United Boys & Girls Clubs Carpinteria Unit. He has also demonstrated incredible leadership; he has been a chairman for both CEF and the chamber, as well as a past president of the Lions Club. His service has not gone without recognition, as the community honored him as Carpinterian of the Year in 2019.

Beyond his volunteerism, Lopez worked at Mission Linen for nearly three decades, and recently retired from his position as Director of Purchasing. He is also renowned throughout the local music scene for his expert guitar and vocal skills with his band, The Rincons.

CARPINTERIA

How did you begin volunteering?

I drew my examples of volunteering from the Carpinteria Lions Club. Growing up in Carpinteria, I joined Boys Scouts, Troop 51, which was sponsored by the Carpinteria Lions. We would occasionally be invited to their dinner meetings. Lions were our Scout masters and we participated in numerous Lions projects in Carpinteria. Events I recall are the Lions summer carnival, tree planting and numerous clean-ups.

You Can Help

Curtis Lopez was first drawn to community service as a Boy Scout. The Carpinteria Lions Club sponsored his troop and further inspired him to become a life-long volunteer to community organizations.

At that time in Carpinteria, the Lions were the ones who stepped up when the community needed something, and many members were city leaders. For example, Lions bought the first ambulance for Carpinteria in 1938, established the Carpinteria Boosters Club in 1957, Future Farmers of America in 1935. The list goes on.

Who inspires you to volunteer?

The Lions that went before me. I have reverent memories and great respect for passed Lions. To single one or two out would be impossible. There were a lot of strong personalities among the group, but they all checked their egos at the door.

Once they put on the yellow jacket, all were equal. A Lion president once complained to me that when requesting volunteers, no one would raise their hand. I acknowledge his concern, but stated that if you ask them individually, no one will turn you down.

I was fortunate to be the Lion president from 1995 to 1996, the year we built the community building. My biggest fear was – don’t mess up what the Lions that came before me built. I consider those gentlemen my role models and heroes.

What are some of the service projects you’ve done with the Lion’s Club?

I’ve participated in the student vision screening, the blood bank, guide dogs for the blind, Basket of Cheer Christmas giving, the Festival of Trees, Fourth of July barbecue, construction of the community building at Lions Park, Rincon High School graduation ceremony, the Student Speaker Contest, Carpinteria Avocado Festival, eyeglass recycling, Braille Camp and numerous other projects. Being a Lion for 32 years gives you a lot of opportunities to participate.

What is a favorite volunteering memory?

One of my most touching moments was manning the White Cane Day booth in front of Albertsons a few years ago. A woman approached me, put some money in our jar, began to cry and hugged me.

She explained how the Lions sight program had helped her mother and how grateful she was. I remember thinking I just scored a hug for some other Lion’s deed.

Carpinteria track and field comes up big at CIF Finals meet

BY RYAN P. CRUZ • PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING

Carpinteria played host to yet another notable track and field event on Saturday with the CIF Division 4 Finals at Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium.

In a season with consistent recordbreaking performances by many of the Warriors’ athletes, the school’s seven qualifying members showed up to their home track ready to put the cap on a successful year.

Senior Vincent Rinaldi, who has improved his sprint times all year long, came in second place in both the 100 and 200 meters, once again breaking his own school record with a time of 10.71 in the 100.

“He has run at a high level all season and continued to do so when he needed it most,” said coach Van Latham. “His dedication and training paid off.”

Senior Esai Vega matched Rinaldi with his own second-place finish with a discus throw of 138’1’’ in his final meet as the Carpinteria boys team captain.

“Esai has been one of the most coachable athletes we have had this season,” Latham said.

Mateo Handall, a junior, also made it to the podium in the 400-meter sprint with a time of 52.02. Irving Garcia earned a sixth-place medal with a personal record triple jump of 39’3.75’’. The senior made remarkable improvement through his first season competing in track and field after joining the team late after football season this year. Ivan Vargas did his

part to add to the boys’ team score with a personal record height of 9’ in the pole vault, securing a sixth-place overall finish for the team in the meet.

The girls put in solid performances of their own, with Alexandra Zapata earning a fifth-place medal in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 50.23 – her second fastest clocking in what was her first full season of hurdling. “She continued to improve, and we look forward to seeing what she can do next season,” Latham said.

Ainslee Alexander continued to build on an impressive season, placing seventh in the pole vault and triple jump, besting her own personal record of 9’ in the pole vault.

“Ainslee has been great to coach, she will do anything that is asked of her,” Latham said. “She will come early and stay late. She is a very conscientious athlete.”

The Warrior girls finished in 18th place, while Oaks Christian took home both the boys and the girls CIF title.

Coach Latham commented on how thankful the team was to all the Carpinteria community and student volunteers that helped host the CIF finals Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium.

“We could not have done it without them,” he said. “It was a great honor to host this track meet and our volunteer officials made Carpinteria High School very proud.”

Sophomore Erich Goebel squeezes a bunt on his way to three hits on the day.

Warrior’s baseball fights strong in tough CIF playoff loss Carpinteria High School’s postseason baseball play continued with yet another home playoff game against Linfield Christian in the second round of the CIF Division 6 tournament.

John Calderwood Field set the scene for a nail-biting matchup, with star senior

Miles Souza on the mound for the Warriors in what turned out to be his last high school game, as the Linfield Lions narrowly edged out Carpinteria 2-1.

The Warriors started off the game strong, with senior Luke Lounsbury scoring off an RBI single from sophomore Erich Goebel, who finished with three hits on the day.

Souza put forth a spectacular effort – surrendering zero earned runs and pitching a complete game – but Carpinteria was unable to find enough offense to close the gap and continue its impressive playoff run.

“No question that the Warriors exceeded expectations this season,” said coach Pat Cooney.

After falling behind 2-1, Carpinteria threatened to score again in the fourth and sixth innings, but each time Lions starter Michael Beall was able to escape the jam.

In their final at bat, the Warriors put themselves in a position to tie or take the lead, loading the bases with two outs in the seventh. With runners in position for a walk-off win, Linfield escaped again and advanced to the next round on a fly ball to right field that sealed the victory for the Lions.

“Playing well and losing is a bitter pill to swallow but the big-picture perspective on the 2021 season is that it was sweet,” Cooney said. “Led by three strong seniors, the team is a bunch of gritty characters that became a team under tough circumstances.”

Though the Warriors’ season ended abruptly, they finished with a strong overall record of 13-6, and 10-4 in league play.

Speaking before Carpinteria High School’s graduation ceremony last week, Cooney said it would be a proud moment for the program when seniors Souza, Lounsbury and Issac Castillo crossed the stage at Carpinteria’s graduation after helping their team find success all year long on the diamond.

able to get back on the field after Covid-19 stripped us from our previous season.”

The later start to the baseball meant Cate was not able to have as many non-league games, but in Frontier League play, the Rams showed they belonged in their new league after being moved up from the Condor League last year. Winning the league title meant Cate qualified for the CIF playoffs, but before the season had started Cate made the decision not to partake in the postseason play.

“Committing to the playoffs meant committing to keeping our students on campus for an extended period during their hard-earned summer, a decision we didn’t think was wise given the fact that our students hadn’t been home since February,” Soto said. “We will always wonder how we would have fared in the playoffs, but again, being able to return to the diamond was in itself, a big win for us all.”

In addition to a league title and Coach of the Year award, seven Cate players earned spots on the all-league team, with star senior Dan Panadero being named Frontier League Most Valuable Player.

Emmet Mack, Matty Holmes, John Endres and Cooke Tarlton earned first team honors, while Tyler Tom and freshman Declan Forest were named to second team all-league.

Panadero was a starting pitcher, outfielder and infielder for the Rams. Coaches described him as a great player who is always improving.

“He’s a kind young man who is always focused on getting better. To see his growth from his first day to now is really special,” said assistant coach David Soto. “I’m proud of all that he was able to accomplish during his time in a Cate uniform.”

He added that he was proud of the team’s ability to show up every day and fight through adversity. “Each time they met the challenge,” he said.

Cate School played through the pandemic and earned its first Frontier League title in baseball, while also earning individual player honors and a Coach of the Year award for head coach Ben Soto.

Soto, who is wrapping up his 30th season as head coach, said that although the late start and shortened season brought a different experience than previous years, he was happy the Rams got to compete and find success.

“I can tell you for sure that this was indeed not your normal spring baseball season,” Soto said. “Even before our first game, I felt that we all had won, for just being

Youth baseball is one of the country’s great community-building pastimes, and for Carpinteria Valley Little League, this year’s season was more meaningful than ever.

Covid-19 forced the league to cancel its season in 2020, but organizers and volunteers committed themselves to bring the league back to life as restrictions were lifted earlier this year.

“After the cancellation of our season last year due to the pandemic, the Board of Directors worked diligently and tirelessly to bring baseball back to Carpinteria,” said

Lori Bowles, board member and league safety officer.

The non-profit league generally runs off registration fees and proceeds from the “Patty Shack,” the league’s fan-favorite concession stand; but after the loss of a season of play, the league was in the red going into 2021. Despite these challenges, the board committed to getting the maximum number of athletes playing while minimizing costs and expenses.

“As a result of these efforts, we elected to significantly lower (cut in half) registration fees, donate personal funds, and simplify the team uniform, which has successfully brought our community back to the baseball field in 2021,” Bowles said.

CVLL’s modified opening day took place on May 1 with an abundance of happy ballplayers and spectators, who Bowles said “did a great job respecting the social distancing and safety standard put in place.” The league was able to sign up ap-

proximately 270 players ranging in age from 4 to 14.

“By the time this season concludes, most of these kids will have attended multiple weekly practices and played over 20 games in a short seven-week period,” Bowles said. “And probably, if you ask any one of these kids who played this year, they are not ready for the season to end. “ Closing day for the little league will be Saturday, June 19 at Crooks Field at El Carro Park, and will include a skills competition, intramural games, a parade of athletes and an awards ceremony.

To make a donation to the league, contact CarpValleyLittleLeague@hotmail.com.

“Any donations will help us in a very positive way as we attempt to work toward celebrating our Silver Anniversary (25th Season) in 2022, which would be a monumental achievement for our small town,” Bowles said.

City makes accessibility improvements for beachgoers LEFT: Last week, city worker Manny Gonzales restored the Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California beach shower at Ash Avenue.

Residents can now get a freshwater rinse after a salty dip in the ocean.

BY DEBRA HERRICK of schedule, the17, city 2021 of Carpin28Ahead n Thursday, June teria’s Parks & Recreation team made its seasonal beach improvements on June 10.

Among these are the installation of Mobi-mats at the city’s beaches at Ash and Linden avenues. Made of 100% recycled PET bottles, Mobi-mat walkways provide a stable surface which increases the beach’s accessibility to people with disabilities or mobility challenges, the elderly, those using wheelchairs, mobility scooters or strollers and other groups with special access needs.

The city has been installing Mobi-mats for over 10 years to improve accessibility to its beaches.

“It wasn’t mandated or requested, but it is the right thing to do,” Matthew Roberts, Carpinteria’s Parks, Recreation and Public Facilities director, said. “The city is always looking for ways to improve the pedestrian- and accessibility-friendliness of our town and we thought this was one of those ways.”

Roberts said people with baby carriages, wheelchairs and beach wagons, along with kayakers, elderly and elite athletes, use and enjoy the stability the mats provide. While the mats are geared toward increasing accessibility for people with mobility challenges, Roberts noted that “everyone enjoys their convenience.”

“Many people are less agile than they used to be, and I think they appreciate the mats a lot,” said Roberts. “We try to make the beach in Carpinteria as enjoyable of

an experience as we can for all.”

The city installs the mats each year in early summer, and they remain into fall. During the winter months, the city stores the mats because changes to beach elevation and topographic conditions can make the mats vulnerable and potentially unusable.

Currently, the city owns roughly $8,000 – $10,000 worth of Mobi-mats, which need periodic replacement and repair.

Additionally, the city owns two beach wheelchairs for free public use when lifeguards are present. Beach wheelchairs are kept in the city’s Holly Avenue tower and the Beach Store on Linden Avenue.

“These are very popular as well,” Roberts said.

Warriors Class of 1975 high school sweethearts Roberta (Wallace) DeCosta and Jerry Little enjoy the benefits of the Mobi-mats on their recent visit to their hometown beach.

“We prefer to walk off the beach here and then down the road to where we left our car because the mats make it so much easier to walk in the sand,” said DeCosta.
