Push to vaccinate

Ahead of the 2021-2022 school year, the Carpinteria Unified School District is making a final push to get its students vaccinated. On Tuesday, the district held a Pfizer vaccination clinic at the gymnasium at Carpinteria Middle School, so community members, like 18-year-old Jeannette Madrigal, left, will be better protected for the year ahead as Covid-19 cases continue to rise within Santa Barbara County. Helpful employees like Daniel Klise, right, from Albertsons Pharmacy are available to administer the vaccines.

The district will hold a second vaccination clinic on Tuesday, Sept. 7, at the gym, located at 5351 Carpinteria Ave. Anyone age 12 or older can receive the vaccine, but minors must have parental consent. Walk-ins are welcome.

BRIEFLY Ben Scott joins SBCC Foundation board

The Santa Barbara City College Foundation recently welcomed four new members to its board of directors, among them Ben Scott of Carpinteria. The board provides strategic leadership to the foundation and is currently composed of 11 community leaders who serve voluntarily, and five ex officio members who serve by virtue of their leadership positions at the college.

Scott is the senior vice president and director of commercial banking at Montecito Bank & Trust. In this role, he is responsible for the bank’s commercial banking including all commercial lending activities with investors, operating businesses and non-profit organizations. He has been in financial services for nearly 20 years, the last 13 years in Santa Barbara with Montecito Bank & Trust.

Active in the community, Scott is currently a member of the board of directors for the SBCC Foundation, the United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County and Jordanos, Inc. Scott graduated from Carpinteria High School and received his bachelor’s degree in government and economics from Claremont McKenna College. He lives in Carpinteria with his wife Sara and their two children, Izzy and Walker.

Carpinteria High School alum Ben Scott joins 10 other community leaders that sit on the Santa Barbara City College Foundation board of directors.

Public Health calls for air quality watch

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department and the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District encourage residents to stay aware of local air quality conditions, the organizations stated in a press release. Wildfires throughout the western United States are producing significant smoke that is being transported around the country, including to the Santa Barbara area, the release said.

“Currently, smoke is hovering in the upper atmosphere over the county and creating hazy visual conditions,” the release said. “The smoke is not reaching ground-level, and air quality monitors are showing good-to-moderate conditions. However, this is a dynamic situation, and local air quality conditions can change quickly.“ All Santa Barbara County residents are encouraged to stay alert to local conditions by visiting ourair.org/todays-air-quality or fire.airnow.gov.

“Levels of smoke and particles, and areas affected, will vary. If you see or smell smoke in the air, be cautious and use common sense to protect your and your family’s health. Everyone, especially people with heart or lung conditions, older adults, pregnant women and children, should limit time spent outdoors and avoid outdoor exercise when high concentrations of smoke and particles are in the air,” the release said.

When air quality reaches unhealthy levels, and/or if smoke is visible or smelled, Public Health recommends residents: • Head indoors and remain indoors, as much as possible; • Avoid strenuous outdoor activity; • Close all windows and doors that lead outside to prevent bringing additional smoke inside; • Avoid driving when possible and use “recycle” or re-circulate mode to avoid drawing smoky air into the car; • Drink plenty of fluids to keep respiratory membranes moist; and, • Essential workers that must work outside during wildfire smoke conditions should use a properly fitted N-95 mask for protection.

When wildfire smoke is present, Public Health also recommends creating a “clean air room” to keep indoor air quality safe. The best protection against wildfire smoke is to stay indoors as much as possible when smoke is present, said the release.

A doctor should be contacted if symptoms appear that may be related to exposure to smoke and soot, such as repeated coughing, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, wheezing, chest tightness or pain, palpitations, and nausea or unusual fatigue or lightheadedness.

City to analyze Surfliner Inn ballot initiative

BY EVELYN SPENCE

At a special meeting on Monday, the Carpinteria City Council directed staff to prepare a report analyzing the effects of the petition circulating the community, which aims to stop the proposed Surfliner Inn from being built.

The city staff’s report, as per the council’s direction, will look into how the initiative will affect both the Surfliner Inn project itself as well as any other future projects or funding for the area.

The report will consider the fiscal impact of the initiative, its effect on the city’s General Plan, its effect on the land and the city’s ability to meet its required housing needs, its impact on local funding, its impact on how vacant land will be used, the effects on other local policies, and its impact on open space and developed areas, according to documents submitted during Monday’s meeting.

“It’s a very broad list of items that can be analyzed and presented for your consideration,” city legal staff Jena Shoaf Acos said during Monday’s meeting.

The full name of the initiative is “Initiative Measure to Change and/or Readopt the City of Carpinteria’s General Plan Designation and Zoning Designation for Two Parcels of City-Owned Property (APN 004-105-011 and APN 004-105-026) Located Adjacent to the Railroad Tracks to the West of Linden Avenue and to Amend the Definition of Open Space/Recreation (OSR) Land Use Category of the General Plan Land Use Element”.

Petitioners refer to it as “Save Our Downtown and Beach Parking Lot Initiative.”

The initiative aims to stop the construction of the Surfliner Inn by designating City Parking Lot #3 as open space and keeping another vacant city-owned property under its open space designation, both of which are scheduled to have the Surfliner Inn or additional parking built on it.

The petition first began circulating in Carpinteria in early June.

The petitioners have until Dec. 15 to collect all of the required signatures and turn the petition in to the city clerk. Once all the signatures are submitted to the city, the city will have 30 business days to determine whether the signatures are valid. If the petition is determined to be valid, the council must then either adopt the petition or order an election within 10 days.

If the council elects to move forward with an election, the initiative will appear on the November 2022 ballot.

Vice Mayor Al Clark posed a question about when the staff-generated report would come back to the council; City Manager Dave Durflinger said the staff would work on that “as soon as possible.”

“The ideal is that it would be available for you to consider, if the petition is qualified and submitted to the city with the required number of signatures,” he said.

“I think it’s going to be a matter of weeks, not months, to prepare it,” Durflinger clarified. “The sooner we’re able to get that report in front of it, the better. We don’t know if or when the petition may be submitted.”

Public comment was full of community members challenging both the building of the inn and what commenters called the perceived impartialness of the council on the matter.

Marla Daily, who spoke during public comment, called the previous staff report about the project “extremely misleading.”

“Let it be clear that this initiative makes no changes to the existing allowable housing overlay, contrary to the message

staff and developers seem to be promoting with their disinformation campaign,” she said.

“I would hope the mayor and city council would change its posture to one of impartiality. When you use someone to do the study that you are going to pass tonight, I ask that it be done by an outside, unbiased consultant,” Daily added.

Kirk Connally encouraged the city council to place the matter on the ballot when he spoke during public comment.

“Carpinteria city government is supposed to be open and honest,” Connally started. “This has not happened, and this is why we are here tonight. For five years, the city staff has had an agenda to lease our public land for private development, something the majority of Carpinterians reject. Proof of the majority rejection is clear throughout the public records, yet the city forged ahead regardless.”

“Carpinterians should be the ones to decide if we want to lease our public land for private development,” he added.

Public commenter Will Carlton, in turn, expressed his support for the council’s ability to make decisions on behalf of the public and said he has concerns about how much this initiative will cost Carpinterians.

“I hate to hear people talk about (the council) and the professional staff of this organization (…) I think they’re some of the best people that you can find in a small city like this,” he said. “I’m incredulous as to the amount of comments, badmouthing, that goes on with both the staff and the council.”

“I’m concerned about the cost of the initiative (…) The city needs money – why throw it away? I bet you (the initiative) is going to cost us $100,000 by the time we’re finished. Why throw that money down the drain?”

In late July, the council approved a 4-1 vote to move forward with the lease development agreement for the Surfliner Inn. Under the current contract, the lease would be rented to 499 Linden Managers for 55 years for 5.5% of appraised fair market value in annual base rent, to be paid to the city monthly.

The proposed inn will have 36 guest rooms, four guest suites, a manager’s unit, a public rooftop bar, a rooftop event space, a “guest only” rooftop swimming pool area and a public street-level café with inside and outside dining.

ARB board supports mix-use project for Maple Ave.

BY EVELYN SPENCE

The City of Carpinteria Architectural Review Board gave a glowing show of support last week for the mix-use revitalization project slated for the 500 block of Maple Avenue, a stark difference from the last time the developers brought the project to the board.

The project, brought by developer Tom Vernon and designed by architect Jeff Shelton, features five new one-bedroom long-term rental units, ranging from 529 sq ft to 795 sq ft, as well renovations to the two existing one-bedroom units on the site. The property is 18,138 square feet, or 0.42 acres.

In total, the property would feature seven one-bedroom units. Three of the units would be located in a two-story triplex, alongside six one-car garages, three open art studios, two trash enclosures and two mechanical rooms. Each unit would have a roof top deck.

The other two units would be located in a duplex on the other side of the property. The existing two one-bedroom cottages and garage would remain, but the larger cottage would be reduced in size in order to add a workshop and would be reclassified as an ADU. The project is slated to have 55% open space across the property. Of the total trees on the site, six will remain according to the concept art. This includes a Torrey pine, a redwood and a Canary palm, among others. The storage building and wooden deck currently on the property would be demolished. The plan also features a courtyard with outdoor seating and dining areas, which the board complimented.

This is a drastic change from the previous concept, which featured several short-term dwelling units – “Airbnbs” – alongside a few long-term housing units. Nearby business owners had previously expressed concern about the original plans and property, CVN previously reported.

But at last Thursday’s meeting, the board welcomed the project’s changes, expressing concern primarily only with parking and trash.

“This will be exciting,” Vice Chair Jason Rodriguez said.

“Definitely a future improvement.” Rodriguez expressed concern about the trash enclosures – and the plan to use sawblades as a decoration on the tri-plex – but complimented the plan’s upper decks.

Board members Amy Blackmore, Richard Johnson and Jim Reginato also praised the open space concept, applauding the owners for keeping some of the trees in place.

“I think someone’s having way too much fun with this project,” Johnson joked.

Blackmore requested that the plan make room for bigger carports, noting that her own truck, for example, would be too wide to fit into those spaces.

“Other than that, it’s a great project,” she said. “I like that they’re taking care of the trees.”

Reginato noted that the only thing he is firmly against in the project is the upper decks located on the triplex, stating it was “too much invasion of privacy” and had “too much noise for the neighborhood.”

Chair Brad Stein also emphasized his support for the project, noting that he was “dead set against what you were planning a couple years ago.”

“I think this is a great step in the right direction that you guys are taking,” he said. “Everything you’re doing here is a terrific example between a commercial and residential transition in that area.”

The project now moves onto the Planning Commission’s desk.

“We’re excited for the project, we appreciate your support and look forward to your input,” Vernon said during the meeting.

Celebrated Santa Barbara architect Jeff Shelton has designed three buildings for the property, which will house residential units and open art studios.

Architects propose to keep as many of the current trees in place as possible, including a large Jacaranda tree, a Torrey pine, a redwood and a Canary palm.

For the record...

In last week’s Artcetra, regarding an art opening at SB Hives, the time of the event was misprinted. The correct time of Tamara Thompson’s art opening and reception this Sunday, Aug. 22, is 2 p.m. – 4 p.m.

Cresco gets county support on cannabis expansion, agrees to use odor scrubbers The latest changes to the “odor abatement” systems use carbon scrubbers to mitigate the smell were part of this effort to meet the community group Concerned Carpinterians halfway.

BY RYAN P. CRUZ Carpinteria’s latest – and maybe most ambitious – cannabis project earned compliments from members of the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission for its forward-thinking odor management plans, but it was ultimately pushed two weeks to be considered again at the commission’s Sept. 1 meeting.

Cresco Labs’ proposed renovation of a 13.5-acre property just off Foothill Road has been in the works for over two years, and its project planners have tweaked and updated the designs based on community and county staff feedback. The latest changes to the “odor abatement” systems use carbon scrubbers to mitigate the smell and are part of this effort to meet the community group Concerned Carpinterians halfway.

The last-minute changes to the project – submitted the day before the hearings – forced the commission to continue the hearing in two weeks to allow the public and staff to review the updates and offer further comments or criticisms. Commissioner Michael Cooney, who represents the Carpinteria Valley, worried that a full discussion might be wasted if these updates couldn’t be properly considered.

“The gorilla in the room here is that submission on Monday, and we’re kind of dancing around it,” said Cooney. “I’m concerned that we go too far today.”

Cresco Labs was founded in 2013 in Chicago, Illinois, and has grown to become one of the world’s largest cannabis companies, with over 2,700 employees across 10 states including six facilities in California. Sabrina Noah, a senior VP of Cresco that spoke on behalf of the company, along with project director Nathan Eady, said that the company’s vision is to build “the most important cannabis company in the U.S.” The project aims to replace three existing greenhouses on the property, which has been involved in farming and agriculture since its inception in 1928, and add a new 41,000 square-foot processing facility.

Noah said that the company has been working with community groups and has maintained a “full-time community liaison,” to ensure that the concerns of locals are being heard.

“Over the course of the last two-anda-half years, conversations with our neighbors have become a daily part of

our operational consistency,” Noah said.

“We are committed to full-time, real-time communication between residents and neighbors.”

Commissioner Daniel Blough commended the team, and Eady, for their ability to adjust to new information and the voices of residents who pushed for the carbon scrubbers to be the “new norm” of cannabis cultivation.

“We’ve never stopped listening and iterating the project to make it better, and make it more responsive,” Eady said.

Odor is by far the biggest contention of those opposed to this and other cannabis industry projects being considered in Carpinteria. With technology headed toward more efficient methods of odor control in cannabis cultivation, the smell may not be as big of an issue in the future.

For now, at least, odor management continues to be central to these discussions, and to the approval of this and similar projects; both commissioner Cooney and commissioner John Parke were likely to vote against the project had it not been for Cresco agreeing to install carbon scrubbers to replace the Byers vapor spray system currently in place.

All five members of the commission voted to continue the hearing to Sept. 1.

Although the Lake Cachuma reservoir is currently above 50% capacity, well above the historic low of 7.3% in late 2016, water supplies from Lake Cachuma present a number of challenges.

California drought update

BY ROBERT MCDONALD, GENERAL MANAGER CARPINTERIA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT

The winter of 2021 was dry, and it looks like 2022 may bring a dry winter as well. According to the NWS Weather Prediction Center, this year’s winter is under a La Nina watch, which could mean a dry winter. Our water supplies have already been impacted from the recent dry conditions, and we will have to carefully balance our supplies to sustain us through the next few years.

As we enter this unpredictable territory, we are asking that customers use water wisely, and conserve water when possible. With 50 of 58 counties in California in a drought state of emergency as of the writing of this article, it is important now more than ever, to “make conservation a California way of life.”

In addition to the more recent dry conditions, we never completely emerged from the drought that started in 2011. In the last decade, we have only received two years with above average rainfall in Santa Barbara County. What we are experiencing right now is not a “new” drought, but rather an extension of this long-term dry period.

We have not received adequate rainfall to allow for our groundwater supplies and Lake Cachuma to fully recover from the dry winters of 2012 to 2016. We have hoped for “March miracles” and above average winters to boost annual rainfall totals and replenish our supplies but we were greeted with blue skies and below average rainfall for numerous years.

We were excited in 2017 and 2019 when Carpinteria received 17.12 inches and 21.59 inches of annual rainfall respectively. But it was not enough to make up for the dryer years. Right now, we need several years of above average precipitation to get us out of the deficit caused by numerous dry years.

In early July, Governor Gavin Newsom called on California residents to cut back on their water consumption as we continue to experience dry weather and high temperatures.

Santa Barbara County is one of the counties in a regional drought state of emergency. Generally, during dry periods, we get water from the State Water Project to help supplement our local water supplies and reduce strain on our groundwater basin. But with the entire state facing water shortages, this is not the case.

Lake Oroville, the State Water Project’s largest reservoir, is now at its historically lowest level at 638 feet as of Aug. 10. The last historic low recorded for the lake was 645.11 feet in 1977, which at the time, was considered the state’s worst drought. Levels have dropped so low that Oroville’s Hyatt Power Plant was taken offline for the first time ever because water levels had approached the minimum level to

Salt Marsh gets ag run-off

Having grown up in an agricultural environment, I have the greatest respect and admiration for our farmers and growers. We trust our farmers and growers to commit to protecting our water quality because irrigated agriculture is the greatest source of water pollution.

Sadly, there is systemic abuse in the Central Coast Region by egregious growers who circumvent Ag Order 4.0. which is our region’s program that protects our groundwater and waterways from fertilizer and pesticide pollution. Because of the way this order is structured, farmers and growers are exempt from many of its rules and those of the Federal Clean Water Act and California Water Code.

Because of these exemptions, it has led some farmers and growers to apply much more fertilizer than is safe to protect our groundwater and waterways. Predominantly in harm’s way is our Carpinteria Salt Marsh, which is the recipient of many of our creeks and waterways.

Last month, I reported that a local grower had been discharging polluted wastewater via a drainage ditch at Sandpiper Mobile Home Park, endangering the nearby residents and emptying into the Salt Marsh. This discharge was rightfully reported to the Regional Water Board for investigation.

What is important is that the many loopholes in Ag Order 4.0 have been made public. Thursday, Aug.19, is the day the Central Coast Water Board staff will conduct a site inspection to document conditions of the operation discharging this polluted wastewater. I don’t know what the consequences will be to the grower if he fails the inspection, but I feel he should be held accountable just as you or I would be.

“The recall election ballots will begin arriving in our mailboxes this week. I urge everyone to vote.”

– Raymond Kolbe

proval, I think that it’s important to vote both parts.

Recall how Newsom has prevented the Covid-19 pandemic from taking a greater toll on our community, with the first in the nation mask mandate. He has addressed the homeless problem with greater urgency than any of his predecessors. The rise in homelessness is largely due to the exploding housing market.

To see how the pandemic would affect us if Newsom were to lose this election, one need look no further than Florida, which has the highest death rate in the nation.

Further, the leading opposition candidate (Elder) has stated that he would declare a state of emergency in order to fire about 7% of schoolteachers. At a time when our students are dealing with the difficulties associated with the Covid-19 pandemic and teachers are in short supply, this is the last thing that should be considered.

Additionally, Elder has made several errors in his application to be on the ballot. If he can’t even apply properly, how can he be expected to deal with the multitude of problems facing California?

Newsom is not without his faults. But he has handled the pandemic well and has not lost sight of his other important priorities, such as responding to global climate change, dealing with a catastrophic drought and so much more.

Please vote in this recall election. It couldn’t be more important.

get tough on crime and to make us safer.

Three strikes laws have been gutted, truth in sentencing has been eliminated and certain crimes have been downgraded and recategorized.

Newsom offered early release to 76,000 existing prisoners, including 63,000 serving time for violent crime and at least 20,000 prisoners serving life sentences.

Homicide and property crimes are spiking in California. Homicide in California increased 31% between 20192020; homicide in Los Angeles County increased 34% between 2019-2020 and is up another 186% so far this year; homicide in Oakland has increased 52% over the same time period last year; and homicide in the Bay Area’s 15 largest cities has increased by 35% over the same time period last year.

In California, car thefts are up by 19.6%, and commercial burglaries have risen by about 26%. Residential burglaries in San Francisco have increased by 78%, while property crime in San Francisco is so out of control that Walgreens has closed 17 stores, and Target is closing its stores early.

I call into question the integrity and character of a governor who promises to do more for crime victims, only to arrange the early release of tens of thousands of violent criminals as crime surges in California. You may accuse me of cherry-picking isolated incidents, but you’d be wrong. Governor Newsom has a storied history of obscuring deeds with words and offering apologies for morally challenged decisions.

It’s time to vote Newsom out and elect a new governor with integrity who will be tough on crime.

Obituary

Sandra Ward 5/18/1938 – 7/28/2021

Sandra Louise Ward, 83, died of cancer on July 28, 2021, in Goleta, California. She is survived by her four daughters, Nancy Teasley (David) of Brentwood, Tennessee; Cindy Ratzloff (Drew) of Clovis, California; Gayle Jenkins (Dean) of La Cañada, California; and Wendy Gillespie (Todd) of Goleta, California. She was preceded in death by Melvin Ward, her prior husband of 42 years.

Sandra was born on May 18, 1938, in

Los Angeles, California to Homer and Phyllis Robertson. She attended schools in the San Fernando Valley and graduated from Los Angeles Valley College in 1970 with an ADN in nursing, after which she worked as an RN for 40 years, both in the San Fernando Valley and Santa Barbara, after moving to Carpinteria in 1998.

She enjoyed many activities including fishing, bowling, golfing, playing games, walking on the beach and writing poetry.

She was a devout Christian who dedicated her life to serving God in various ministries within the churches she attended, most recently at Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara and Trinity Baptist.

Her family and friends will always remember her as loyal, loving and compassionate.

A celebration of her life was held on Aug. 7, 2021 at Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara.

The family would like to thank those that loved and visited her until she was called home to her Heavenly Father.

Anyone wishing to send flowers or donations can direct them to Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara Senior Life Ministry or Cottage Hospital, both places she volunteered and loved dearly.

Covid-19 Safety Protocols

Ensuring that students and staff return to a healthy and safe environment to support in-person learning is paramount for us.

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department issued a health order, which requires the use of masks in indoor public settings. Regardless of vaccination status, all teachers, staff, students and any visitors will wear masks indoors.

We will continue with layered prevention strategies in place: no visitors will be allowed during the school day; and daily cleaning and handwashing is required. All meetings will remain in Zoom format to avoid large gatherings whenever possible.

We have also hired two nurses who will assist us in following Public Health guidance for employee/student Covid-19 exposures. Most of our staff are vaccinated, and we urge all students 12 years and older to get vaccinated. We will continue to offer vaccination clinics at Carpinteria High School before school begins.

Independent Study

For the 21-22 school year, parents have the option to enroll their child through in-person instruction or independent study. For grades K-5, study includes the Calvert online learning program, daily live interaction and weekly synchronous instruction with an elementary IS teacher. For grades 6-12, study includes the Edmentum online learning program and weekly synchronous instruction with a secondary teacher in the CHS Student Success Center. Parents will be notified of this option on Parent Square, and if they are interested, they may contact their school principal.

City hires new program manager CVN REPORT

The city of Carpinteria has a new program manager, Olivia Uribe Mutal.

Uribe Mutal was born in Mexico City and grew up in the Santa Barbara area.

She holds a political science degree from UC Santa Barbara and became involved in local politics and policy after college.

She founded an online media marketing business, then became certified in medical interpreting. In 2015, she moved to Carpinteria and began working as an interpreter at Cottage Health. Now, as program manager for the city, Uribe Mutal will oversee emergency and volunteer services and neighborhood community outreach.

Thomas Richter, right, is CA Gold Studios’ new owner. He teaches over 30 styles of dance.

What attracted you to the program manager position at the city of Carpinteria?

CA Gold Studios welcomes new owner as studio reopens

Olivia Uribe Mutal: My first love is public policy – I can’t seem to shake it.

When I saw this position open in our community, I thought it was a good fit for all the various skills I have acquired in my career journey this far, and I was not wrong.

Thomas Richter, longtime champion ballroom dancer, is now running the CA Gold Studio in Carpinteria.

The studio had previously closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, founder Diane Meehan, who first opened the studio three years ago, said. Meehan will still continue to teach dance at the studio.

“I found this space and fell in love with it,” she said. “I wanted to have a space for the community to enjoy ballroom dance (…) And then Covid-19 hit, and the studio was closed for over a year, and when it reopened, I thought it was time to open the studio to someone else.”

Meehan, a champion ballroom dancer, said that Richter has taken over the studio and is “bringing the studio back to life.”

“We’re just getting started, it’s like starting the business all over again,” she said.

Richter teaches over 30 styles of dance.

He has been dancing for 20 years, he said; he started out as a country line dancer; then he learned Latin dancing and salsa; and later, he tackled ballroom dancing.

“This opportunity came up to run the studio,” he said. “Dance has been one of

my passions.”

Richter said he hopes to focus on bridging the dance community at this precarious time, since “a lot of (dancers) have been away from the activity for so long.”

“When we’ve had some of the group classes and events, people haven’t seen each other in a really long time and people are reconnecting,” he emphasized.

However, he noted that the studio is putting private lessons at the forefront at the moment, as both a health and safety measure due to the rise in Covid-19 cases.

“I think more of my focus is on offering private lessons as a new business owner in the area,” he added. “My hope is that people would really draw to that and say, ‘You know, I always wanted to learn salsa or Argentine tango and try something different.’”

The studio teaches several styles of dance, including tango, swing dance, ballroom and Latin dances, among others.

California Gold Studio is located at located at 4647 Carpinteria Ave. Learn more by calling (805) 881-8370 or by vising californiagoldballroomdance.com.

What project/area of your new job are you most excited about now that you’ve been in the role for a few weeks?

Because it is a small city, I like that I get to participate in a variety of topics every day. Some topics I am very familiar with, and others are completely new to me, and I like that I am always learning.

My days seem to fly by, which is a sign of enjoyment.

How do you spend your time outside of work?

I like to attend all the activities that the area has to offer, and my husband claims I have serious FOMO (fear of missing out), but really, there’s just so much fun to be had! When I’m not being a wife or a mom I like reading, writing and running.

If you were stuck on a desert island, what meal from a Carpinteria eatery would you crave most?

Because of our boys, I’ve spent a lot of time at Padaro Grill – I’ve recently discovered their fish and chips and they’re pretty outstanding. I could see myself craving that one!

the time I have alone when I get it and cherish the time I have with my husband on date nights. Overall, I’m learning to be more present, but it’s difficult when I’m getting pulled in what feels like a million directions.

To help families who relate to what I’m referring to, we applied and received a grant from Cottage Health to support family engagement. The first offering will be a series of field trips to places like the Moxi, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, and much more. Our staff has picked the dates, times and places where you can come with your children.

We’ll be sharing more details soon. We’re doing the leg work; all we need you to do is show up with your child, or children, ready to have fun and be present.

At the Carpinteria Children’s Project, we also understand the importance of play, not just between children but between children and their parents. I recently watched a wonderful TedTalk, “How every child can thrive by five.” Not only was it impressive because a child delivered it, but it reminded me that a simple game of peek-a-boo could go a long way.

If you have 10 minutes, I’d recommend you check this one out. It is also on our Facebook page.

In addition to the funding for family field trips, we also received support for a parent and me yoga series, swim classes and parenting skills workshops – because we all know we could use the extra help with those toddlers. We hope that this will help families who are feeling like they want to spend more time with their children but can’t bring themselves to plan one more activity.

In the meantime, remember to be present and enjoy this crazy ride called parenthood. We hope you’ll be able to join us for these activities. I look forward to seeing you there!

Teresa Alvarez is the interim executive director of the Carpinteria Children’s Project.

She has over a decade of experience in the nonprofit field and a passion for helping children and families. Teresa was born in Guanajuato, Mexico, and moved to the U.S. with her parents at age two. Growing up as an undocumented student, she learned the importance of having mentors, a strong work ethic and the value of education. Teresa holds a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from UCSB and a master’s degree in Psychology from Antioch Santa Barbara. She currently serves on the First 5 Santa Barbara Commission, is the Board Chair for Future Leaders of America, and a founding member of the Santa Barbara Latino Giving Circle. Teresa loves to travel, read and chase after her two boys.

Heading back to school and hoping for the best

BY DEBRA HERRICK

Next week, Carpinteria Unified schools will open their campuses for over 2,000 children, faculty and staff.

With cases of the Covid-19 Delta variant taking an upswing in Santa Barbara County in the past 14 days, a return to school is not exactly a return to normalcy.

Students will be required to wear face masks indoors; teachers must be vaccinated, and some activities will be modified. But despite these measures, many families who spoke to CVN are more eager than they are anxious for the school year to start.

“We’re nervous – of course – because of the pandemic, but we’re focusing on our excitement and we’re confident that she’ll be okay,” Anna Cardona, whose daughter Fatima will start sixth grade next year, said.

Last year, Fatima, 11, spent most of the year taking Zoom classes and attended in-person school for about three months.

When her mother was at work, Fatima was with her grandmother.

Cardona said Fatima is happy to be returning to school because she wants to see her friends again. “Even when she was at in-person school, a lot of her friends weren’t going, but hopefully they’ll come back now,” said Cardona.

The Carpinteria Unified School District, along with each individual school, has been sending messages frequently to parents to inform them of changing school policies and expectations. For many parents, this communication and transparency has been helpful.

“They’re telling us everything,” Cardona said, “and that way I know what to expect.”

Melissa Angeles, whose son Dominic Herrera will be a freshman at Carpinteria High School, said the communication

Anna Cardona and her daughter Fatima are looking forward to school starting so Fatima can see her friends. from the district and schools has been good – though she noted she was receiving less information from the high school.

Herrera is playing football for the Warriors and Angeles has liked seeing things start to get back to normal, given the circumstances. She said she was excited for school to start and hoping that the full year can be in-person.

“I know he missed his friends and getting to be out of the house, what he

considers ‘normal life,’” Angeles said.

Right now, Angeles isn’t too anxious about health concerns because her son has had the vaccine, and “that puts me at ease.”

“I’m more concerned that other kids will get sick and there could be an outbreak, and that could impact all the kids… but hopefully most kids are vaccinated and protected against most major health issues.”

For Angeles, her anxiety is split between pandemic-related and what she called “regular back-to-school nerves.”

“I’m at about 50/50. There’s starting a new school, getting to know a brand-new structure, a lot of new staff, not feeling prepared, not having textbooks,” she said.

“And then there’s, going back to school and possibly, we back track, and sports are canceled, and kids are sent back to remote.”

If either party did not wear face covering: Child must quarantine from school for 10 days; quarantine can end on Day 8 if test is done on Day 6 or 7 from last exposure and result is negative

Si alguna de las partes no se cubrió la cara: El niño debe estar en cuarentena de la escuela durante 10 días; la cuarentena puede finalizar el día 8 si la prueba se realiza el día 6 o 7 desde la última exposición y el resultado es negativo.

Free flowing beer, music and happiness: Surf ‘n’ Suds draws beer enthusiasts from along the coast

BY EVELYN SPENCE • PHOTOS BY ROBIN KARLSSON

A sunny Saturday saw crowds from up and down the coast flock to Carpinteria’s famed Surf ‘n’ Suds Beer Festival, which took place this year at Linden Field for the first time since 2019.

Excited attendees got the chance to taste test beers, seltzers and kombucha from over 70 different craft breweries and satisfied their munchies with eight food trucks on site. Festivalgoers played giant beer pong and corn hole and danced to the beat of the free-flowing music courtesy of Carpinteria’s Cornerstone Band and DJ Hecktik.

Event organizer Andres Nuno said the festival went “very smooth,” noting that they sold out of tickets before the day of.

“We were very happy to get back at it, we really haven’t done a beer festival since 2019,” Nuno said. “It was just really fun to see everyone back out and sharing craft

beer and being able to see people we haven’t seen in a long time. Our guests seemed to have a really good time.”

Brands or breweries such as SLO Cider, Central Coast Brewing Company, Figueroa Mountain Brewing Company and Cali Squeeze – to name just a few – offered a good time to festivalgoers, showing off their latest, and in some cases, not yet released, products. Cali Squeeze offered a taste of their new pink lemonade seltzers, a fresh taste from their classic blood orange hefe, while Poseidon showed off their liberty card lager. Others offered the classics, such as 805, or specialized beers, such as Tarantula Hill Brewery Co.’s Liquid Candy IPA. The annual event benefits The Young and Brave Foundation, Carpinteria Warrior Football and Native Baseball Program, as well as numerous Central Coast surf and environmental organizations.

Many attendees rode their bikes to Surf ‘n’ Suds, including Carpinteria local Nick Damerel, left.

Carpinteria artist tackles struggles of growing up in debut EP

BY EVELYN SPENCE

Over the past decade, many Carpinterians have become familiar with the iconic sight of a young girl with a pink guitar, sitting at the regular Linden Avenue farmers market and singing her heart out.

Now, that young Carpinterian – then known as Jamey Geston, now as Cecilia James – is 22 years old, and her debut EP, “Different Grounds,” is out for release.

“Most everybody in Carp probably recognizes me as the girl playing the pink guitar on the street at the farmer’s market,” she laughed. “That’s where I started doing music. I took music lessons in Carp.”

Each of the seven songs on the EP tackle the struggles of growing up, of first love and of heartbreak. She wrote each of the songs between the ages of 15 and 20, with a focus on what she calls “moment markers.” “(The songs) mark my feelings (when) I was going through those ages,” she said.

“Each (song) is very special. I’ve formed a close relationship with these songs.” “(The songs) kind of grazes the surface of what it’s like to grow up, to experience the world and experience love for the first time. (They’re) a reflection of myself and my identity.”

James points to her song “Sonic Baby” as an example of her close relationship with her childhood. The song centers on a conversation between her past, present and future selves.

“The whole EP is about navigating myself through the world, navigating identity, navigating love, navigating these new experiences, and just change, in simpler worlds,” she emphasized.

James said she began recording the songs in late 2016 and completed record-

Many Carpinterians may recognize Cecilia James as the young girl with a pink guitar who played regularly at the farmers market in Carpinteria. Her debut EP was released on July 30. ing in 2019. She said she “didn’t realize how long it was going to take, and how much I had to mentally prepare for that.”

Her biggest feeling when her EP finally dropped? Relief, she said.

“It’s been so long in the making, and to finally just have it out, and I don’t have to worry about it being out, it’s nice to have that off my shoulders,” she emphasized.

James, a Carpinteria native who attended Carpinteria High School, said she

feels close to her roots in Carpinteria; her EP’s music video is filmed at the Alcazar Theatre, a nod to her background.

“I started all of my musical art and endeavors in Carpinteria,” she said. “I definitely feel a very strong connection to this place (…) It was pretty special to be able to incorporate the parts of Carp I grew up in with this project. Locally, there’s just been a really loving, support-

Her name change from Jamey Geston to Cecilia James came a few years ago, she said. She took “Cecilia” from her middle name, “Cecilie,” and went from there.

Planting the seeds of a clubhouse

At right, the Carpinteria Woman’s Club holds a tree planting ceremony circa 1925 on the property that would hold the clubhouse a few years down the road.

Paid for in full as of Jan. 3, 1924, the $1,300 land at 1059 Vallecito Road has now been held by the club for over nearly 100 years. Master carpenter Joe Hendy, who also built several homes in Carpinteria, constructed the clubhouse, which was dedicated in 1934 and still serves club members today. As Jane Caldwell noted in her book “Carpinteria as it Was,” the club’s calendar cookbook published in 1925 contains words that sum up the organization and its long role in the community: “We are not here to play, to dream, to drift. We have work to do and loads to lift. Face it. ‘Tis God’s gift.”

Next month, Gerald Enthoven will be riding in the Arthritis Foundation’s 21st Annual California Coast Classic Bike Tour – a scenic, 500-mile, eight-day ride down Highway 1 from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Carpinteria cyclist ‘rides for a cure’ for arthritis down California coast

BY RYAN P. CRUZ

After emigrating to Carpinteria from Holland in 1982, Gerald Enthoven found his new home to be a perfect place to continue his passion for biking. The coastal landscape, with its hills and long winding roads is a haven for many cyclists, and nearly 40 years later, Enthoven still doesn’t want to leave.

“In the same house, same wife, different bike,” he said.

Enthoven is preparing to take part in the Arthritis Foundation’s 21st Annual California Coast Classic Bike Tour – a scenic, 500-mile, eight-day ride down Highway 1 from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Enthoven, 66, got involved with the ride in 2018, and he hopes to raise $10,000 this year to support the foundation and “conquer arthritis once and for all.”

He has struggled with arthritis of the knee, and said he realized “many children are suffering from arthritis.”

Most of the riders involved also have a personal connection, whether they have it themselves or have family members with arthritis.

“People with arthritis are warriors, boldly facing the pain, limitations and challenges the disease causes,” he said.

“Challenges like getting properly diagnosed, multiple doctor’s visits and treatments, a maze of insurance procedures, missing school or work, being unable to perform normal, everyday tasks or enjoy favorite hobbies and activities.”

The annual event, which will take place from Sept. 18-25, with over 150 riders making the journey, sleeping in camps or lodging during the night and riding during the day. It is the largest

gathering of the arthritis community in the world, raising funds for resources and research for the cause.

Riding hundreds of miles is no easy task, but Enthoven has years of cycling experience, including a ride which took him 11,000 feet up in the Rocky Mountains. These rides are a unique mix of pain and pleasure, he said, but when you reach the top, the amazing views make it all worthwhile.

“While you’re climbing it’s pain, but once you hit the summit, it’s like - yes, we did it,” Enthoven said.

Cycling has helped him stay in shape, and he said he has met many “bike buddies” on his rides, which have taken him all over the country.

“I realized that you don’t get any younger, but if you keep doing what you’re doing, you stay in shape, and that’s one of my reasons why I stick with my bike,” he said.

The ride will start at Golden Gate Bridge, weaving through San Francisco to Santa Cruz, then through Monterey, Big Sur, Cambria, Pismo Beach, Buellton before finally finishing in Los Angeles.

The Dutchman will be rolling through Carpinteria on Sept. 24, he says, on his orange bike with matching orange shoes; the color is popular among Dutch natives and athletes, who wear it proudly in competition.

While the event is approaching soon, Enthoven is still raising money and receiving donations. Checks made payable to the Arthritis Foundation can be sent to Gerald Enthoven, PO Box 1484 in Summerland, CA 93067 or donations can be made online at events.arthritis. org/participant/genthoven.

Gerald Enthoven holds his bike up high while he takes a break in the Rocky Mountains.

Enthoven stops to check out the Hope Ranch scenery.

Local surfer makes waves on pro circuit, reaches WSL Finals

BY RYAN P. CRUZ

Carpinteria local and professional surfer Conner Coffin is now ranked among the top five male surfers in the world after qualifying for the World Surf League Finals.

His meteoric rise to the top of the surfing world began here on the Central Coast; Coffin was born in Santa Barbara and currently lives in Carpinteria, with Rincon Beach as his local surf break.

Here in Carpinteria, Coffin and his family have become part of the community and helped foster a strong surf scene.

The Food Liaison co-owner Jason Rodriguez has gotten to know Coffin, whose family are regulars at the restaurant. Conner and his brother, Parker, are both professional surfers who feel right at home in Carpinteria and have helped inspire other locals to hit the waves.

“Conner is a big reason our family got into surfing,” Rodriguez said. “He is such a humble, polite and methodical competitor; he is the perfect professional athlete role model.”

For the community of Carpinteria, he

Coffin slices into a wave at one of the qualifying World Surf League competitions.

SHORT STOPS

Carpinteria’s Conner Coffin, 28, is heading into the WSL Finals ranked as the fourth best male surfer in the world. said, it’s inspiring to see somebody local make it on the biggest stage in any field, but especially with surfing, which has deep history on the Central Coast.

“Any of our own being front and center on the world stage is pretty magnificent. For the surfing and skating world here in Carp, he’s walking proof to all the youngsters out there that hard work and dedication can make anything achievable,” Rodriguez said. “He’s why my daughter started surfing. “ Coffin finished the tour ranked fourth, with 25,355 points, which is his highest finish in his six years on the Championship Tour. He’s the only American surfer in the men’s final, joining Brazilians Gabriel Medina, Italo Ferreira, Filipe Toledo

and Australian Morgan Cibilic.

The WSL Finals will be held from Sept.

9-17 in San Clemente. In surfing competitions, there is typically a “waiting period,” and at Lower Trestles there will be a nineday window where optimum conditions will dictate when the competition takes place. The event will be livestreamed on worldsurfleague.com, where more details are also available.

“I couldn’t be happier for him, his girlfriend, and his family to make it into the finals,” Rodriguez said. “We have watched every one of his heats as he’s fought through this season, and to place in the top five best male surfers in the world at this last event was such a well-deserved win for him.”

Submit Sports News online at coastalview.com she said. “He competed in regionals and crushed the triathlon.” Silva said she hopes he comes back to Carpinteria from France next year to compete again.

Marika Stellwagen is described by instructors as a “great swimmer and friend to all.” Silva said Stellwagen has a “very kind heart” and is always encouraging her teammates during each event throughout the summer program.

Ben Terry is the only Junior Guard from his group to compete in last week’s triathlon as a solo competitor, and is an “incredible zinc artist,” Silva said. “Ben always has a smile on his face and is ready to attack the day.”

Isla Moore suffered a broken toe early in the summer but has bounded back and “crushed it with no complaints,” Silva said. “Isla has been dominating the beach the entire summer,” she said. “We love having her on our team.”

Edward Neishem showed a lot of growth as an athlete throughout the summer. He has shown exceptional talent in both paddling and swimming. “He is always stoked about the day and gives every activity all his effort,” Silva said.

Holyn Vega’s good energy is contagious, Silva said, and she has a great sense of humor, “making everyone happy with her funny jokes.” Vega is a well-rounded athlete ready for anything you throw her way. “Holyn has the best attitude in the program,” Silva said.

Warriors football shows strong effort in fullspeed scrimmage

Carpinteria High School’s football team is preparing for its upcoming season, and after playing in its first full-speed scrimmage against San Marcos, head coach Mario Robinson is optimistic for a competitive squad this year.

“The coaches are proud of how well the team played and their effort and we look forward to the first game,” Robinson said. The Warriors will take the field at an away game for the season opener next Friday, Aug. 27 against Morro Bay. Carpinteria will only field a varsity football team this year, with 35 players total joining the team. With many returning players on both sides of the ball, the Warriors have an opportunity to compete in every game this year.

In the scrimmage, the defense made some big stops, and a new strength was found in the running game. “The defense played very well in the scrimmage,” Robinson said. “The offense needed a couple series to get going but figured it out with a tough running game.”

This season will be the first full season since 2019 due to Covid-19 cancelations, and the team is looking forward to competing for a chance to win big in the Citrus Coast League.

Carpinteria’s Junior Guards of the Week

As Carpinteria’s Junior Lifeguards summer session comes to an end, the young guards are trying their hardest in the last few weeks to soak up as much fun and training as possible.

These six represent the best on the beach for the past week, and they embody the program’s spirit of hard work, great attitude and teamwork.

Peter Cholet is an “insane long runner,” said program coordinator Leilanie Silva, and a very humble and kind student. “We are so glad to have Peter this summer,”
