Cannabis Farming News in the Carpinteria Valley

Santa Barbara County Collects $5.5 Million in Cannabis Farm Taxes meet your neighbors at carpgrowers.org

better together Cannabis taxes have proven critical during COVID-19. Santa Barbara County has been able to retain essential staff like firefighters and nurses in part because tax revenue from cannabis farming have offset losses in other industries like tourism. Taxes paid to Santa Barbara Country from cannabis farming are projected to backfill $7 million in losses the county has incurred from COVID-19. The county collected $5.5 million in the quarter ending in June 2020, more than double the total from the previous year.

ESSENTIAL WORKERS, ROADS, LIBRARIES AND THE COUNTY TRAILS SYSTEM ALL RELY ON CANNABIS FARM TAXES.

a i r a M t e Me Maria is the cultivation office manager for Headwaters, a leading cannabis cultivation and distribution company in the state. At the Carpinteria farm, Maria soaks up any bit of cultivation knowledge she can and enjoys the data-driven methodologies of Headwaters as well as the ability to work in a field she enjoys at home in Carpinteria.

OVER 1,000 EMPLOYEES CALL CARPINTERIA VALLEY CANNABIS FARMS THEIR JOB SITE.

Good jobs. Great people. Local values.

Girls Inc. of Carpinteria Fights for Social Justice Young women of Girls Inc. of Carpinteria have been the leading local voices in organizing for racial equality and inspiring positive change in our community. CARP Growers is proud to support Girls Inc. in its mission to cultivate Smart, Strong & Bold women.

Over the past couple of years, CARP Growers has become a leading funder of Girls Inc. of Carpinteria and its outstanding programming.

Cannabis farmers recently won the Bloom fundraising challenge by contributing over $87,000 toward scholarships and operations in support of families who need youth programming more than ever. This investment in the future of local girls means meeting the needs of the next generation of local young women and ensuring they are on track for the future they all deserve.

ENVIRONMENTAL BEST PRACTICES: Integrated Pest Management Agriculture doesn’t always have the best reputation for sustainable practices. In cannabis farming, there’s no room for harming the environment through the use of pesticides. Before going to market, cannabis flowers are tested for over 60 pesticides down to parts per billion.

Cannabis farmers introduce insects onto farms to eat pests that would otherwise wreak havoc on the plants. The good bugs eat the bad bugs. Ladybug larvae eat over 200 aphids a day!

Ladybugs are just one of the dozens of beneficial insects used on local farms. As cannabis farmers lead the way in innovative pest control, other areas of agriculture are encouraged to follow suit.

Cannabis farming has allowed the field of Integrated Pest Management to accelerate in its development and to bring costs down making IPM attainable for more and more farmers to practice.

WADE NOMURA NOMURA

“If you don’t know Wade Nomura, you’ve never been to a Carpinteria civic project, fundraiser, community service event, Rotary project, City Council meeting or non-profit event in Carpinteria. This is how I came to know and respect Wade. He is the steady, approachable civic leader who leads by example. He walks the walk. I am proud to support Wade Nomura in his re-election bid for the Carpinteria City Council. As a native Carpinterian, I truly feel fortunate that Wade chose our gem of a community to call his home.”

––Curtis Lopez, 2018 Carpinterian of the Year

“Wade has a strong grasp of how government works and has been a very successful Council member leading other council members to develop collaborative solutions to improve Carpinteria. I admire how he runs the meetings and shows complete fairness to all.”

“I’ve lived in Carpinteria 6 1/2 years and in that time, I’ve had the great privilege of not only working with Wade through my Rotary club and the 93013 Fund, but also through several other nonprofits that I am involved with, such as C-DOG, the Avocado Festival and the Food Bank.

Wade is always willing to lend a hand and to make himself available, to be the voice of Carpinteria and to lend his support and credibility for causes that are near and dear to fellow community members. We are very lucky in this community to have someone like Wade who always has our best interests at heart. I am voting to re-elect Wade Nomura.”

County moves to the red tier, more businesses allowed to open indoors

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department has issued a health order allowing more businesses to reopen indoors with modifications and capacity limits, in accordance with the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy. As of this week, Santa Barbara County has met the state’s red tier case rate and positivity rate criteria for two consecutive weeks. As a result, the risk of Covid-19 spread in the county has been downgraded from widespread to substantial, allowing movement from the purple tier to the red tier.

“Our movement forward, and ability to further reopen our community, is the result of the vigilance of our overall community in following the safety guidelines to prevent the spread of Covid-19,” said Dr. Henning Ansorg, public health officer for the county of Santa Barbara. “As we move into the red tier, we must be even more diligent in wearing our face coverings, maintaining social distancing, and avoiding gatherings with those outside our household. The red tier is not the end goal, but rather a step forward.”

The state’s Blueprint allows counties in the red tier to reopen indoor operations for some additional business sectors and allows for certain activities to resume. All businesses in Santa Barbara County, which are open or will be reopening, must follow all

Some additional businesses, which may reopen indoors in the red tier with modifications include personal care services, indoor dining in restaurants, gyms and fitness centers, movie theaters, museums, zoos, aquariums, places of worship and cultural ceremonies. Schools may also reopen for in-person learning beginning Oct. 13, without a school waiver, if they choose to do so.

Nail services allowed to operate indoors

Governor Newsom has announced a change related to the personal services industry sector. The state of California guidelines have been modified to allow nail services to resume indoor operations and physician-ordered electrolysis to reopen with modifications. Piercing, tattoo and non-medical electrolysis services are still prohibited from reopening at this time. The county health officer, Dr. Henning Ansorg, has issued a health officer order that took full effect on Sept. 23 at 5 p.m. Businesses must review the guidance, prepare a plan, and post a checklist for personal care services in their workplace.

Alarcon is right for the job

There is a reason that City Council candidate Natalia Alarcon has been endorsed by so many civic leaders and organizations—she is the clear choice for Carpinterians who hope for a future focused on diversity, inclusion and collaboration. Our City Council will benefit from her energy and fresh approach. As a local, Natalia is committed to the preservation of her small beach town, and as a mark of her broad appeal, she has earned the support of both the Chamber of Commerce and environmental organizations such as the Carpinteria Valley Association and the Sierra Club.

Jim Taylor Carpinteria

A second term for Delgado

Rogelio Delgado is a man of integrity who is committed to serving Carpinteria on the CUSD School Board. Since 2016, he has fulfilled that role in an exemplary and independent manner. Mr. Delgado has always been the one member of the school board who seeks fully transparent answers to the more difficult questions.

How is the money to be spent, and where does it come from? How can we promote racial equity for all students, and teach diversity in the curriculum? How can we monitor and improve the health, safety and well-being of all students and staff?

Mr. Delgado is a role model to the Latinx majority of our student population. He wants to hear the concerns and interests of all; he welcomes your input.

He always seeks the facts. He puts consistent effort and attention to the work of the Board. Mr. Delgado has the trust of union leadership. He wants to see a better working relationship between the union and the board. He is not afraid to dissent when he knows that decisions are being proposed without sufficient evidence.

Rogelio Delgado is the voice for progress and change on the school board—the voice for a broader perspective.

Felicity Moore, MEd. Retired after 33 years at CUSD, Santa Barbara

One hundred percent opposed

City Council candidate Mark McIntyre is 100 percent committed on 16 issues with nugget dog whistles to a larger Trumpian agenda. Yet at the end of the forum he throws us a bone. He will “always ask you before voting” on City Council issues. Seems like someone who is 1,600 percent committed is 100 percent missing the point of our town. Wade Nomura and Natalia Alarcon seem to have the pulse of Carpinteria in perspective and have proven track records locally.

Middle School. Last school year, and the prior one, I served as the elected Middle School Site Council Parent Representative. I also served as Site Council Parent Rep at Canalino for several years.

Since the day I met her at Canalino, Jaime Diamond has been a whirlwind of positive parent energy. She is the current president of Parents for Middle School and our representative on the District Parent Advisory Committee. I know Jaime will be a great addition to the board.

Aaron Smith is a Carpinteria stalwart.

He is always willing to step up when we need him. Aaron and his wife Sarah Aresco Smith are a great team and family.

Sarah is on the Board of Directors for the Carpinteria Education Foundation.

These parents have no agendas other than the best interests of our children. They have no interest in pandering to outside political influences as was unfortunately the case with both the candidates elected four years ago. I enthusiastically endorse Jaime Diamond and Aaron Smith for the school board.

Please vote!

anything in our community without understanding the relevant statutes, researching the facts, and participating in thorough public review.

Importantly, as a nonprofit program manager and a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family therapist Natalia knows how to listen. She’s an active board member of Parents for Aliso and the Santa Barbara Housing Rental Mediation Program.

Current events clearly demand broader representation on our City Council. 49 percent of our residents are Hispanic/ Latinx and are underrepresented. As Fred Shaw steps aside we need a fresh, more youthful vision moving forward while espousing traditional Carpinteria values.

Natalia Alarcon “values the voice of our residents believing that it is your voice that should dictate Carpinteria’s future.” Sometimes just being heard amidst all the noise surrounding a contentious issue is the best way to start.

The choice is obvious. Occasionally even the obvious needs to be pointed out.

Vote for Natalia Alarcon.

Vote the environment

While I appreciate that Mr. Sanderson Smith presented a less selfish approach to his election criteria than simply his 401k (CVN, Letters, Vol. 27, No. 1), and I applaud his astute observation that “modern Republican political candidates leave much to be desired,” the biggest issue, which will affect at least Mr. Smith’s family and all of our families, is how we deal with climate change. Withdrawing from international treaties, loosening environmental restrictions and doing “whatever is necessary to re-start the economy,” doesn’t seem like the right plan, even in pursuit of economic freedom.

I support Mr. Smith’s suggestion to examine both parties’ policies and proposals as they relate to promoting individual responsibility, economic freedom and especially human dignity. I strongly disagree, however, with his opinion that the Republican proposals relating to these pursuits are “somewhat lacking.” They are entirely absent for everyone except those who have complete economic freedom. And without some degree of economic freedom, the other pursuits are doomed.

Be informed and vote!

a woman who says, “Arsenic tea for my friends on the other side of the aisle.”

Shame on Coastal View News editors and Nimmer for allowing such a vicious comment to be printed! While we recognize freedom of speech and of the press as cornerstones of our democracy, words like this only serve to stoke the divisiveness and outright meanness found today that diminishes civility in our public discourse, tears our electorate apart and threatens the foundations of our democracy.

I sincerely hope that Ms. Westbrook’s comment does not reflect the sense of even a small part of the residents of Carpinteria, or our state and country. No matter which “side of the aisle” you are on, this comment can only reflect a lack of common sense and civility; printing this also reflects a lack of common sense and respect for our democracy on the part of CVN.

Actions have consequences CVN

THE LAY OF THE LAND MIKE WONDOLOWSKI

In this column a few years back, I wrote about an experience I had growing up.

My older brother coached a youth soccer team, and I occasionally helped out at practice. He had a rule that any player who came to practice late or missed a practice had to have a good excuse.

Without an excuse, the player had to run a lap and run a set of wind sprints... for each minute missed! He told the players he would believe anything they told him for an excuse. But if he found out that they had lied, he would never believe or accept any excuse again. I don’t remember exactly how effective his approach was, but I do remember seeing players who might otherwise be late sprinting as fast as they could to get to practice on time.

A lesson that stuck with me from this experience was that purposefully doing something wrong should have consequences, and not allow an unearned benefit. If you rob a bank and get caught, you don’t just give the money back and go home. You go to prison.

Recent events in the news brought this experience to mind yet again. After refusing to consider confirming a Supreme Court nominee in March 2016 because “it was an election year,” many of the same Republican senators in 2020 fully support confirming Justice Ginsburg’s replacement when the election is next month. They expect no negative political fallout from their hypocrisy.

Recent apparent political influence has caused the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to make multiple successive changes in information from the CDC on guidelines related to coronavirus testing and airborne transmission (tinyurl.com/cdc-change). Unfortunately for all of us, we suffer the consequence of diminished trust in any information from the CDC. Also, in the news this summer was the astonishing number 20,000—the number of false or misleading claims made by President Trump since he took office, as tracked by the Washington Post Fact Checker (tinyurl.com/wp-20k). I suppose we will find out next month if there are consequences for this unprecedented “accomplishment.”

While these national issues are splashed all over the news, the same principle runs through less publicized issues right here in the Carpinteria Valley.

And these local examples may have a bigger direct impact on each of us than any of the national issues.

One example is ongoing at the County’s Planning and Development Department. Many of the applications for cannabis cultivation in greenhouses throughout the Carpinteria Valley include requests to permit existing unpermitted structures.

These structures, often greenhouses, were built without the necessary permits and were used for years. Now that the use is being converted to cannabis (which has a higher level of inspection by the county), the owners are finally applying

Now that the use is being converted to cannabis (which has a higher level of inspection by the county), the owners are finally applying for permits for what they already built— permits that were required at the time of construction.

“It’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.”

for permits for what they already built— permits that were required at the time of construction.

“It’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.”

Well, it shouldn’t be. Again, if you rob a bank and get caught, you don’t just give the money back and then go home, even if you say you are really sorry. In fact, in some cases, issuing an “as-built” permit is akin to saying to a bank robber, “Yeah, you shouldn’t rob banks, but since you already did it, go ahead and keep the money.”

There are plenty of other examples where the lack of consequences simply results in continued behavior that is detrimental to the community. One specific case was related to unshielded lighting from greenhouses on a property just outside the Carpinteria city limit that lit up the sky throughout the valley nearly every night. There were multiple complaints to the county, multiple visits by county staff, and multiple conversations with the people responsible. For a few weeks after each visit, the greenhouse shades were kept closed for the entire night as required. After that, our sky was again lit up like downtown Los Angeles every night. Finally, the county staff issued a Notice of Violation, which is the first step toward an actual penalty. Since then, the simple (and required) process of closing the shades when it is dark has been followed consistently.

It might be a bit unconventional, but the next time someone acts without a permit or violates the permit they do have, maybe we should require them to run laps or wind sprints.

Mike Wondolowski is president of the Carpinteria Valley Association (CarpinteriaValleyAssociation.org), a local organization dedicated to maintaining the small beach town nature of our community. In his 30 years of involvement in planning issues, he has witnessed visionary successes, as well as decisions that were later widely regretted.

When not stuck indoors, he can often be found enjoying Carpinteria’s treasures including kayaking and snorkeling along the coast, running or hiking on the bluffs or the Franklin Trail, or “vacationing” as a tent camper at the State Beach.

VIEWPOINT Recognizing our dedicated childcare professionals

CONTRIBUTED BY GIRLS INC. OF CARPINTERIA BOARD OF DIRECTORS We live in scary times. Activities once considered routine now carry risks that we must balance daily. Everyone has made sacrifices and faced tough decisions about how to achieve some degree of normalcy. The current distance learning model at public schools has required everyone—teachers, school administrators and families—to reinvent how we execute a model of education we’ve taken for granted.

At Girls Inc. of Carpinteria, we have seen the selfless work undertaken by our childcare professionals and cannot be more grateful that they have maintained the safety of our operations while adding newly invented tasks to the duty of caring for children and families in need during a pandemic.

We’ve witnessed Girls Inc. staff astutely convert our operations from an afterschool youth center to an out-ofschool program designed to support distance learning during the school day.

Our childcare professionals have adapted to the challenge of supervising dozens of girls who attend school on their computers from our campus each day. This is all while accepting a level of risk and taking responsibility for the safety of the girls and families that place their trust in Girls Inc. In addition to supporting the development of our girls and reinforcing the principles of being “strong, smart and bold,” these professionals have become tutors and technicians during the school day. They assist with organizing diverse classroom curriculums and navigating Zoom rooms, Google classrooms and a variety of other virtual learning tools.

Our selfless staff has met and exceeded expectations in trying times. Our girls could not have better role models during a pandemic and a situation that otherwise could have them lacking critical support and missing important milestones.

Covid-19 has only further highlighted vulnerabilities among families who have struggled to meet financial needs when work has become scarce and to maintain a sense of wellness as anxieties have multiplied.

Childcare has always been critical to the functioning of our communities and economy. Covid-19 has only further highlighted vulnerabilities among families who have struggled to meet financial needs when work has become scarce and to maintain a sense of wellness as anxieties have multiplied.

We have come to realize more than ever that our staff are essential to the success of our girls, and that each member of our team is a hero. When reflecting upon the present crisis, our team of childcare professionals stands out for its dedication, and we are filled with warmth and appreciation for all of their contributions.

Thank you!

Girls Inc. of Carpinteria Boardmembers are Angelina Lane, Katie Convoy, Jacquelyn Pawela-Crew, John Franklin, Orlando Hernandez, Caroline Alarcon, Diana Rigby, Terri Allison, Kevin Baird, Theresa Huerta, Chris Jacobs and Peter Dugré

Ask the Candidates The Race for Carpinteria City Council

This year’s election cycle includes a hotly contested race for Carpinteria’s two open seats on City Council.

Citizens of the World’s Safest Beach will have a chance to choose two councilmembers from a pool of three qualified candidates. Incumbent Mayor Wade Nomura competes for his third term, with eight years Council service under his belt, and the desire to serve another four.

Candidate and Carpinteria-native Natalia Alarcon hopes her experience in community service and background as a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family

Therapist will help her win a seat on the Council to “amplify the voices of our underrepresented community members.” And, retired professor and media presenter Mark McIntire has thrown his hat in the ring with the slogan, “Make Carpinteria better than ever.”

This week, CVN continues its “Ask the Candidates” series, a four-part Q&A series aimed at helping readers make an informed decision on Election Day. To see all installments of Ask the Candidates, visit coastalview.com.

This week’s question: The city of Carpinteria has tackled the coronavirus pandemic through various measures, including beach parking restrictions/closures; temporary street closures; easements on public spaces for businesses, such as outdoor dining; face mask requirements, and small business grants. Do you think the city has been effective in helping the community and local economy? City Council members who take seat next year will likely continue to confront the pandemic. What actions do you think you’d advocate for in terms of mitigating the coronavirus’ impact on public health and the local economy?

Mark McIntire

Mitigating a global pandemic is way beyond the pay grade of City Council members. Why? Even the so-called medical experts contradict each other on a weekly basis. Just navigating through the choppy waters of conflicting ‘medical experts’ and ‘orders for health officers’ is the duty of all members of City Council trying to protect their constituents right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Suicide rates among young and old are skyrocketing.

As a member of Council, I will get the best medical advice available to evaluate the Santa Barbara County restrictions to freedoms protected by our American Constitution. I may not always agree with these restrictions as they are ‘fluid’ with no irrefutable guidelines. The science is not settled until a vaccine is produced for all.

I will seek opposing views from the citizens of Carpinteria. I will ask them before I vote. Having taught Critical Thinking and Writing for 23 years at Santa Barbara City College, I guarantee that I will vote as a critical thinker not as a rubber stamp to “go along to get along” with county, state and federal agents.

When elected this November, I will support the conversion of Linden Avenue from Carpinteria Avenue to 7th Street into a pedestrian promenade for shops, restaurants, musicians and artists to get Carpinterians back to work and throttle up the local economy of small businesses.

I will introduce measures on Council to upgrade the entire Carpinteria Valley to ultra-high speed 5G broadband technology with fiber optics. The present 4G technology is unacceptable given the heightened demand for video conferences, online education and commercial productivity for all Carpinterians.

This is another way my forward-thinking position on City Council will “make Carpintineria better than ever.”

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3

Wade Nomura

My concern is for the health and wellbeing of our community. I predicted the huge economic impact the isolation orders would cause when announced, and as research shows every dollar spent in the local community can circulate six times before leaving, I personally bought gift vouchers at local businesses, giving them away to Carpinterians, asking them to do the same. I announced this at a City Council meeting and in newsletters. My election signage and face masks were purchased from Rockwell Printing and Serigraph, local suppliers to help our community, rather than cheaper online options.

I recommended to City Council we create two separate committees to address pandemic issues and personally invited key stakeholders from every sector to utilize the Carpinterian spirit of working together to combat issues. The Communications Committee kept the community updated on the latest issues plus health and business orders. The Economic Recovery Committee was tasked with minimizing impacts and supporting businesses and unemployed.

We initiated waiving business license fees and the $160,000 restart grant program. We worked with businesses, especially downtown, implementing what they wanted, expanded operations onto street or carparks, without closing the streets, plus quick approval processes. We pushed moral boosting causes and ideas—including Mask Up Carp and school graduation signage.

We supported local charities, including managing traffic flow to facilitate foodbank programs helping those in need.

We have to balance economic issues with health issues. I have worked closely with State Parks who control the campgrounds to provide tourist education whose spending we need, without negative health consequences. Twice weekly, I meet with the County Health Department, providing input on issues, with their department taking the lead on public health policies.

I have invested countless hours to help our community and will continue with the above actions and introduce any more that come forward.

Natalia Alarcon

Our community has not been immune to the effects of the pandemic; state restrictions and a decrease in tourism have put our businesses in challenging situations. The measures put forth by the city, I believe, have been with the goal of keeping our residents safe and healthy and our economy stable. The $1,000 small business grant allowed many of our businesses to stay open.

Adhering to beach closures during holiday weekends and mask requirements have mitigated some of the social distancing issues inherent in this pandemic. As our county continues to move through “the blueprint for a safer economy,” we can expect to see our community move closer to “normalcy.”

I am a strong supporter of the city’s “Business Restart Program,” which provides business owners with some of the resources they need to stay solvent. I would like to explore how we can continue to expand this program and provide greater support. Deferring or halting fees to existing and new businesses can provide relief. Additionally, evaluating our businesses through a digital survey can give us data on their needs.

The city facilitated a partial street closure on a trial basis, creating a promenade in our downtown area. This did not work for our community, and the overflow of parking into Smart & Final was not a viable solution. I do agree with the bulb-outs which allow restaurants to expand their outdoor dining. A long-term goal could be assisting with the creation of a business collaborative.

This would give us the ability to work in collaboration with a larger body of businesses, giving them a larger platform to express needed concerns and solutions to the city.

Next week’s question:

Carpinteria is well-known as a charming beach community, however, as the population rises and housing prices increase, the city faces questions regarding commercial and residential development.

What is your position on the development of more residential units? Please specifically address affordable, low- and middle-income housing.

Ask the Candidates The Race for Carpinteria Unified School District Board of Trustees In this year’s election for Carpinteria Unified School District Board of Trustees, incumbent Rogelio Delgado faces four challengers in a race for two seats on the school board. In this first installation of a three-part Q & A series with the candidates, we learn why Delgado seeks a second term, and why Carpinterians Jaime Diamond, Aaron Smith, Jeff Weinbender and Craig Cook are ready to fight for a chance to serve on Carpinteria’s school board.

This week: Introduce yourself and tell us why you are running for the Carpinteria Unified School District Board of Trustees.

Craig Cook Hi Carp! I’m Craig Cook and I am running for CUSD School Board. I am a proud parent of a seventh grader and two kindergartners in CUSD. Since arriving in 2012, I have been active in our community. I consistently volunteer in my child’s classroom every year; whether it be presenting on the Chumash or MLK, doing science experiments, chaperoning field trips or assisting our amazing teachers in whatever is needed during my class visits. Last week, I was elected to the CMS Site Council. I also have been a youth coach each year for basketball, soccer, volleyball and softball where I am able to share my passion for sports and where I have molded and shaped future athletes as they strive to reach their full potential. I find my volunteerism very rewarding and it’s been a real pleasure to see all the talented youth we have in our community thrive and grow over the years!

As an educator and Professor in the American Ethnic Studies department at SBCC, I have been proud and inspired to serve as an educator for students of various backgrounds. I am running to give voice to all, especially those who have been historically neglected.

Moreover, my goal is to advance student learning, achievement and success of all students while supporting our stellar teachers and parents. ALL means ALL. If elected, I promise I will always advocate for all our student populations and their families. I will also continue to support our teachers in pushing for more equitable practices in education. I am an optimist who thrives on challenges, leads by example, and readily adapts to situations. I am confident that you will find that I exhibit intelligence, determination, dedication and that I am eager to make a positive contribution to the CUSD and our community!

Rogelio Delgado My name is Rogelio Delgado, an educator, a U.S. citizen. My life has been dedicated to education. I graduated from CHS, SBCC, LMU and UCLA. I have been on the CUSD School Board since 2016. My political platform was transparency, supporting students, teachers and parents. Money not spent wisely should be spent on our kids.

Our cash reserves would be higher.

My 2020 platform is the same as in 2016: transparency, protecting students, parents, teachers and stakeholders. This support I will

provide in English and Spanish.

Regarding the school agenda, I double check legal fees and expenses, Measure U and warrants, to ask questions and get answers from the school district for the sake of transparency. My biggest satisfaction was the passing by our Board of the Multicultural Literature Course. I thank the Diversify Our Narrative group for taking action immediately. You have all made history at CHS.

Jaime Diamond Carpinterians, YOU, our children, our community are why I am running for CUSD School Board Trustee. I am Jaime Diamond, and I have called Carpinteria home since 2003. My husband Jason and I have three children—Matthew (14, eighth grade, Carpinteria Middle School), Molly (10, fifth grade, Canalino) and Max (3 and hopefully a future DLI student). My husband and I own Stardust Sportfishing in the Santa Barbara Harbor and enjoy being outside with our family.

I have been an active participant with our schools since we made the choice to join the Carpinteria public schools when my oldest entered kindergarten at Canalino. Starting with VP Parents for Canalino, current President Parents for CMS, Parent Advisory Council and more school board meetings than I can remember. I coached basketball and indoor soccer at the Boys & Girls Club, and I advocate for student access to opportunities many of our students would nev-

er otherwise have via school field trips. I point out problems within the district and school board, always followed up with solutions. I have worked tirelessly on reducing food insecurity among students and families. I get things done, and done well.

Board member character and integrity is of the utmost importance to me. You will not see me deferring to a “party line.” I am deeply invested in student character. We need to create a district that invests in an environment to foster our students’ critical thinking, truth seeking and rigorous academic opportunities. One that promotes resiliency, encourages leaders’ growth, ensures equity for all students, provides a safe place for growth by both success and failures and creates global citizens led by integrity and humility. I want our schools, students and community to be better. More than that, I want our best! (Not too much to ask for, right?!)

Aaron Smith

It is no secret that I love all things Carpinteria. I feel so fortunate to have grown up here, attended public schools, and raised my family here. Both my wife Sarah and I feel immense gratitude to the community for the support we received as students and then as parents in this school district.

I was born and raised in Carpinteria. My parents were both local educators. My father, Ron Smith, taught math at Carpinteria Junior High School during the late ’70s and early ’80s. My mother, Julie Smith, was a professor and department chair of the Early Childhood Education Department at Santa Barbara City College for 27 years.

My brother Ramsey Smith is currently a math teacher at Carpinteria High School. I have three children in the district, Asher, a freshman at Carpinteria High School, and Holiday and Lucia, both fifth graders at Canalino. I received a bachelor’s degree in history from California

Jeff Weinbender My wife and I have been blessed to live in Carpinteria for the past 20 years. I have dedicated my vocational life to education. I have spent the last 25 years as a teacher in Santa Barbara. My wife, Justina, is an English teacher and our daughter is an eighth grader.

We care greatly about our schools. I believe I am exceptionally qualified for the position. I am a listener and a learner. I enjoy working with people together on tasks. I believe our students need us now, more than ever. When a person is able to serve their community, they should offer to do so. I want to be an example of that.

State University Northridge and have worked for Channel Islands Surfboards for 23 years.

As a school board member, I will do the research, listen to all sides, and make educated decisions. I’m a collaborator and problem solver, and I will bring these skills to our school board. We all need to work together to safely get our children back in the classroom so we can repair the achievement gap that has widened during the pandemic. We need to look at our curriculum and find ways to make it culturally relevant. We need to make creative, fiscally responsible decisions that put every student on a personalized path to success.

I am committed to putting in the hard work to ensure high quality education for each of our local students. I am ready to give back to the community that has given me so much.

School board updated on Measure U status

BY CHRISTIAN BEAMISH

On Tuesday, Sept. 22, the Carpinteria Unified School District Board of Trustees held its regular meeting online via Zoom, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. CUSD Superintendent Diana Rigby thanked Carpinteria High School science teachers Audry Rogan and Mandi de Witt, as well as the 93013 Fund for providing returning students with gift bags of supplies and CHS T-shirts, before focusing on the district’s reopening plans.

Rigby also announced that a college advisor from UCSB will be available to CHS students and families to help with information and the college application process, and that tutors are available for middle and high school students during remote instruction.

At its previous meeting, the board approved the submission of a state waiver application for partial reopening in a hybrid model for elementary schools in the district. “Current metrics indicate 6.5 (Covid-19 cases) per 100,000 residents (in Santa Barbara County) and a positivity rate of 4.3 percent,” Rigby reported. “So, if Santa Barbara County continues these metrics, we will be moved to the red tier on Sept. 29.” The superintendent continued, “That means within two weeks, all schools in Santa Barbara County will be able to open on Oct. 13.”

Rigby then stated that Personal Protective Equipment, wipes, hand sanitizer and cleaning products were staged in classrooms on the elementary school campuses in the district, and that the inventory was maintained daily and order forms for resupply were available to teachers.

Students will be given a set of reusable masks as well as their own bottles of hand sanitizer. The superintendent reiterated that the district’s reopening plans had been made in communication with the teacher’s union, staff and parents, although an email to CVN from a teacher and a notice from the teacher’s union, CAUSE, stated that they had largely been left out of the decision-making process regarding school reopening. The reopening plan will first allow kindergarten through fifth grade instruction in limited cohorts of no more than 14 students but will also allow conditioning training for high school athletes.

Delgado raises questions

At the beginning of the meeting, ahead of the superintendent’s report, Board Member Rogelio Delgado made a statement. “During the last board meeting a lot of people have complained to me—by my private telephone, on the street, by the district’s email—the terrible thing that happened, where the voice of the Hispanics were actually put aside, ignored.”

Delgado continued “… These people are U.S. citizens, they pay property taxes, they have children in the district and they have the same rights as any other person, regardless of color… we just said it in the pledge of allegiance ‘with liberty and just for all.’ And they deserve to be informed occasionally of what’s happening.”

Following the superintendent’s report, Delgado said, “Carpinteria is still in the purple tier, and citing coverage in the Coastal View News, he added, “most parents and staff do not want to return to school.” (Canalino Elementary School Prinicipal Jaime Persoon stated in a letter to parents, quoted in CVN, Vol. 27, No. 1, that 40 out of 937 elementary school students in the district were opting for independent study as opposed to returning to school in the hybrid model.)

The superintendent reiterated that the district’s reopening plans had been made in communication with the teacher’s union, staff and parents, although an email to CVN from a teacher and a notice from the teacher’s union, CAUSE, stated that they had largely been left out of the decisionmaking process regarding school reopening.

Measure U

Cindy Abbott presented a detailed report on the progress of Measure U projects across the district, announcing that Gen 7 buildings had been installed on district campuses and were being equipped with new furnishings. Portable classrooms have been removed from a number of campuses and more are slated for removal in coming months.

Carpinteria High School projects are continuing with modernization of the gym and adjoining locker rooms, a new student center in the completely refurbished building that formerly housed the school’s administration, and the construction of a new admin building. The student center project at the high school has been delayed however, as a truck with the doors and hardware for the project was stolen. Completion of the student center is now slated for mid-October.

Modernization projects are set to enter Phase Three at Aliso Elementary School, and the historic, 1930s-era main building there will be refurbished to house the admin offices and front desk/reception area.

The county of Santa Barbara required a revised plan for Summerland Elementary School to better fit the beach community where the school is located. The proposed rebuild of the school has been met with community support in Summerland, but an issue is pending between the county of Santa Barbara and CUSD over the county’s request that the district provide a street light, sidewalks and curbs on a street adjacent to the school, which would significantly increase the overall cost of the project. CUSD lawyer Craig Price explained that he has communicated with the county, and added that there may be a way to legally proceed with the project without meeting the county’s request.

Abbott then reported that her office has received a 90-day letter indicating that $2.6 million in state funding (over and above Measure U funds) should be available for ongoing projects at Canalino and Carpinteria Family schools in Spring 2021. Measure U administrators have applied for a total of $16,153,164 in state grants to augment the budget for projects through the year 2023. Measure U projects

Off-leash pilot program approved for El Carro Park

BY EVELYN SPENCE

At their Sept. 28 meeting, the Carpinteria City Council unanimously approved a pilot program for an off-leash area for dogs in the north field of El Carro Park.

The pilot program will launch Oct. 31, 2020 and will last through Oct. 1, 2021.

Various signage will be posted around the park to inform the public that they are entering an off-leash area. The resolution for the pilot program recommends that the city install roughly 240 lineal feet of fence as well.

In the mornings, the park will be open to off-leash dog owners between Sunday–Saturday, from park opening to 8:30 a.m. It will also be available on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. when temporary fencing is in place.

In the afternoons, the park will be open to off-leash dogs between 3 p.m. and park closure during standard time, and from 4:30 p.m. to park closure during daylight savings time, except when organized sports have been otherwise granted permission to play in the park by the city.

The project has a budget of $12,500.

A number of rules must be followed while pet owners are at the park, including that dogs must be leashed while entering and exiting the area, must be

Councilmember Fred Shaw stated that the council had received some comment from the public, noting that El Carro Park is often used for “impromptu soccer games.”

Matt Roberts, Carpinteria’s Parks and Recreation Director, said the off-leash area is not considered exclusive use, and that soccer games are still allowed in the area. He said he plans to have a meeting with the “major users” of the park, in particular the soccer, baseball and softball players.

Council approves third round of Small Business Restart Grant Program

City Council has unanimously authorized a third round of its small business restart grant program to “further ease the economic strain put on small local businesses.”

The first round of the program saw 70 applications approved for $1,000 each, out of the 99 applications received. The second round granted 25 approvals out of a total of 28 applications.

The program was initially funded from the city’s economic uncertainty reserve fund, with a total of $100,000. The Santa Barbara Better Together Fund later donated $30,000 to help supplement the city’s funds.

Update on Highway 101 – Linden & Casitas Pass Project

The first stage of the Carpinteria Highway 101 project was completed in July 2020, according to Kirsten Ayars from Ayers & Associates, spokesperson for the project.

The first stage focused on widening both the Franklin Creek and the Santa Monica Creek bridges, according to Ayers, as well as adding a new roundabout to connect Via Real to Linden Avenue and improving the north on-ramp on Linden Avenue to make it easier to merge.

Ayars said the project first began in April 2020 and is scheduled to be completed in September 2023. During stage two of the project, the Reynolds on- and off-ramps will be closed for 16 weeks; the Carpinteria Avenue off-ramp will be closed for seven weeks; and the Casitas Pass and Linden Avenue off-ramps will be closed for five weeks. Stage two is scheduled to be completed in Spring 2021.

City Manager Dave Durflinger said the county will be releasing guidelines shortly for how the public should operate during the upcoming holidays, in particular Halloween and Thanksgiving.

He said he is “fairly confident” that the Carpinteria downtown trick-or-treating event will not be held this year.

Hispanic Heritage Month

The council unanimously approved the adoption of Hispanic Heritage Month within the city of Carpinteria between Sept. 15 and Oct. 15.

Carpinteria Mayor Wade Nomura read from the proclamation, stating that the city recognizes “the many contributions Hispanics have made in our country” and hopes to “promote greater awareness of the rich culture of the Hispanic community.”

Natalia Alarcon, a community member and candidate for Carpinteria’s City Council, praised the council for approving the adoption during public comment.

“This is an opportunity to recognize and honor how the Hispanic community has enriched our lives,” said Alarcon. “I believe that although our Hispanic community shared the Spanish language, which I believe to be beautiful, our rich and vibrant cultures are uniquely different. This month is a reminder to recognize, educate, celebrate and encourage our community members to take part in what Hispanic Heritage Month can offer.”

County supervisors respond to Grand Jury report on cannabis

BY DEBRA HERRICK

In a Sept. 22 letter addressed to Honorable Michael J. Carrozzo, presiding judge of the Santa Barbara Superior Court, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors responded to the Civil Grand Jury Report on cannabis, published on June 30.

In response to the jury’s 12 findings, the board partially disagreed or dismissed entirely each finding and subsequent recommendations as unwarranted or inaccurate.

Lack of consideration for public health concerns

The board “wholly” disagreed with the jury’s first finding that they inadequately considered the impact of cannabis on the health and welfare of county residents, noting that since 2016, the board held over 40 public meetings on cannabis and reviewed numerous oral and written public comments, including recommendations from the Programmatic Environmental Impact Report for the program.

Additionally, the board noted that the Public Health Department participated in the Cannabis Ad Hoc Subcommittee.

Lack of transparency

To the jury’s statement that the creation of a non-Brown Act Ad Hoc Sub Committee that was not open to the public led to a lack of transparency and distrust from residents, the board stated that the subcommittee was publicly created and in accordance with the Brown Act, held three public outreach meetings and twice gave public reports to the full board.

Moreover, the board rejected the jury’s recommendation that supervisors require all future ad hoc meetings to be open to the public, stating that this is not necessary as non-Brown Act ad hoc committees are commonly used to resolve issues of great complexity—ad hoc committees, such as the one on cannabis, have no authority to act on behalf of the county, but rather are a mechanism to develop recommendations.

Unfettered access to cannabis lobbyists

Did the board grant “unfettered access to cannabis growers and industry lobbyists” and not disclose these activities to the public? The board responded that the jury’s finding was only partially true.

They did not disclose all ex parte communications as they are not required by law to do so, however they did provide access to interested parties, including cannabis, business, media, city and neighborhood leaders, as was the intention of the decision making process to allow constituents and stake holders to be a part of the legislative process. Supervisors admitted to meeting with lobbyists and applicants prior to public hearings, however, they stated that this is not uncommon and not a special case for cannabis.

Overconcentration of cannabis activities

Supervisors wholly disagreed with the jury’s finding that current cannabis ordinances are excessive and have led to an overconcentration in some areas of the county, including Carpinteria. They noted that they addressed public concerns related to a concentration of commercial cannabis activities by adopting two separate caps on cannabis cultivation and a ban on cannabis activities in EDRNs (adopted in July 2020).

Thursday, October 1, 2020  15

No effective odor control

To the jury’s finding that there is no effective odor control implemented for cannabis activities resulting in “significant public outcry about odor, quality of life and health concerns,” the supervisors stated that “odor control has been one of the most challenging aspects of implementing this program.” Supervisors noted that legal nonconforming medical cannabis cultivation operations are still in transition to compliance, and are therefore not yet required to comply with the county’s odor control regulations. Once all cultivators have completed the compliance process, the county will be able to enforce all odor control regulations and assess the efficacy of these systems.

Settlement reached in cannabis land use permit appeal

Aultmore Capital, Pacific Grown Organics (PGO) and the Santa Barbara Coalition for Responsible Cannabis have announced that they have reached a settlement in the coalition’s appeal of PGO’s proposed cannabis operation in Carpinteria, which will allow PGO to continue their application for a land use permit from the county.

PGO stated that they have created a “robust adaptive management plan to meet the challenge of odor control” and that the coalition was instrumental in developing this plan—the Odor Inquiry Response Plan—that will take into account community feedback to hold cannabis farms accountable in addressing odor drift. PGO has agreed to make public its standard operating procedures for harvesting and their Odor Abatement Plan, including a weather monitoring system, a community outreach list and notification protocols, initial VOC monitoring upon operation, and a robust Odor Inquiry Response and Corrective Action Plan.

“PGO’s commitment to test the effectiveness of this new approach and then do whatever is needed to control odors and prevent impacts to the community convinced us this was a responsible grower who deserved our support,” said Coalition Board member Rob Salomon. “The coalition has been working hard for over a year to create a sustainable and compatible relationship with area growers. We’re glad PGO stepped up to the plate and we look forward to a sustainable future for cannabis in Carpinteria.”

Cannabis retail license applications now available

On Jan.14, the Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance amendment to Chapter 50 that established a merit-based criterion scoring system for applicants vying for a cannabis retail storefront license.

Per the ordinance, the process commenced with community engagement meetings to gather input from the community plan areas where storefront retail is allowed. After a delay due to the pandemic, six virtual community meetings were held in July to gather input from the community plan areas where

storefront retail is allowed, including the Toro Canyon, Padaro Lane and Summerland areas. County Code 50-7(b) limits the number of storefront retail licenses to no more than one in each of the six community plan areas.

On Aug. 18, the Board of Supervisors approved two criteria-based scoresheets for evaluating the Business Operations Proposal and Neighborhood Compatibility Proposal of the retail storefront application. As next steps of the cannabis retail storefront selection process, the application availability period opened on

Sept. 29, allowing potential applicants approximately 34 days to prepare documents for the application submittal period that begins 8 a.m. Monday, Nov. 2 until the deadline of 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 9.

The application is available at cannabis.countyofsb.org/retail.sbc, along with links to the county’s Cannabis Permitting and Zoning map and County Land Use and Zoning map. Additional information is linked on the website, including an FAQ, PowerPoint presentation in English and Spanish, and videos of each community meeting.

2020 California avocado season: volumes up, prices down

As the virtual 2020 California Avocado Festival kicks off, the actual California avocado season is coming to a close.

Between wildfires, heat waves and a global pandemic, the California avocado industry has been along for the same unpredictable ride as the rest of the world, but 2020 proved that as an international superstar, the avocado has carved out a resilient niche in the global marketplace.

Total volume for this year’s California avocado harvest eclipsed 350 million pounds as of last week, dwarfing last year’s total to date of 202 million pounds, according to the California Avocado Society’s “Weekly Newsline.” Avocados are an alternate bearing crop, which means fruit volumes typically fluctuate between years. Last year’s low volume was also attributed to a major heat event in the summer of 2018 that caused a substantial fruit drop impacting the 2019 season.

According to ranch manager Rick Shade, Labor Day heat fried some trees inland and caused extensive damage, but Carpinteria Valley mostly withstood milder temperatures and could be poised for a record year in 2021. He said, “Of my 40 years in the business, this is the most difficult year for getting the crop to the market,” owing to safety protocols and portions of the supply chain temporarily shutting down.

Pandemic closes foodservice industry

Covid-19’s impacts on the market were felt sharpest in the portion of fruit feeding the foodservice sector, mainly restaurants, stadiums and cafeterias. Recall that these sectors essentially shut down for months in the late spring, right at the start of the California avocado season, which runs from January through October but peaks in late spring and early summer.

The result was a couple of lulls in harvesting between March and April and a season that has been prolonged through late summer.

There’s still an estimated 22.5 million pounds of fruit to be harvested in California at the end of September, which is atypical. Most of the fruit still hanging on trees is in the northern part of California’s avocado-growing region, from Carpinteria to the north into San Luis Obispo County, areas which trend toward the late season every year due to more temperate climates than San Diego County and inland Ventura County.

“We’re still picking full bore,” Shade said. “There’s plenty of beautiful fruit, but the price isn’t there. If we had our regular avocado festival this year, there’d be plenty of Carpinteria-grown avocados for the cheerleaders.”

The good news is that when fruit stopped flowing to the foodservice sector, home shoppers made up much of the difference, leading to an 18 percent jump in grocery store sales of avocados in the period between mid-March and April. The week ending March 22, the first week when foodservice shut down, saw consumers purchase 20 percent more avocados at the grocery store than the previous year.

To some extent, the global flow of fruit was disrupted, but the vast majority of California-grown fruit stays in the United States. By far the largest share of avocados consumed in the United States originate in Mexico, which is the world’s giant in avocado production. Mexico has shipped over 1.5 billion pounds of avocados into the U.S. this year of a total of 2.3 billion pounds consumed. Still there was a period in April and May when the flow of Mexican fruit to the U.S. slowed, which altered expectations for the supply chain.

About 22.5 million pounds of avocados will be harvested in the next few weeks in California, mostly from farms between Carpinteria and San Luis Obispo.

“Mexico hung onto a lot of fruit that it’s now shipping into the U.S., which isn’t what we’d normally expect this time of year,” Shade said.

2020 prices fall off 2019 records

Higher volumes from California— the epicenter of U.S. avocado production —combined with a steady flow of fruit from Mexico and the global pandemic led to downward pressure on pricing over summer months. Prices on conventionally grown (non-organic) California fruit peaked at $1.78 per pound right before COVID-19 in early March and was sitting at just $1 per pound in late September. These are the average price paid to growers for avocados classified as size 48 (48 fruits in a 25-pound box).

By comparison, 2019 was a record year for pricing on California avocados at an average of $1.70 per pound for the whole season and a peak price of $2.30 in June.

Organic California avocados enjoy premium pricing

Organic California avocados supply a premium market, and their prices remained substantially higher for throughout most of the season. In the last few weeks, even prices on organics have dipped to $1.42 per pound. On Sept.

16, organics were still fetching $2.10 per pound before the bottom dropped out.

California organic fruit is scarce at this point in the season, so the price drop reflects much of the market being shut down.

Carpinteria organic avocado farmer Ed Van Wingerden said price premiums for his fruit have recently been as high as 80 percent over non-organic. The added price per pound more than pays for extra costs associated with organic farming practices. “Five years ago, I wondered if it was worth it, but I stuck it out because I like to farm organically,” Van Wingerden said. “Now the consumer is responding by paying more for the fruit for the planet, their own health and the quality.”

At this time last year, the major avocado packers like Calavo and Mission Produce had already shut down for the year and price quotes were no longer available. Due in part to the pandemic and in part to higher volumes, packing houses remain open and California avocados will be available on the West Coast through October.

Avocado Chocolate Cupcake

Being from Upstate New York, I never imagined I’d be living on a historic avocado ranch in the agricultural heart of Carpinteria. I moved out to Southern California to attend culinary school and to enjoy year-round beaches and beautiful weather. I didn’t even know what an avocado was until I had my first bite of an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich topped with avocado. I quickly realized what I’d been missing all these years!

As this weekend is the 34th annual California Avocado Festival, typically I would be in mass production mode baking over 1,500 avocado brownies for The Howard School fundraiser in partnership with Jordano’s and The Food Liaison. Unfortunately, there will be no avocado brownies to support this year. It has been encouraging to see the community donating their time to create a virtual festival experience in order to continue this beloved small town tradition. No, I will not share my top-secret avocado brownie recipe with you, but I am excited to share my avocado cupcakes. Make them at home with friends and family while enjoying a local avocado ale and recreate your own festival!

The frosting in this recipe uses a Swiss-buttercream method. Unlike American buttercream, which is dense and very sweet, the Swiss buttercream has a fluffy pillow- like texture and is best enjoyed at room temperature. Once you master this buttercream there is no turning back!

The avocado in the frosting adds a subtle, unique flavor and gives it a beautiful, light green hue.

You’ll notice adding the avocado to the chocolate batter makes it extremely moist—what’s not to like?!

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line cupcake tins with liners. In a mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients, whisk together and set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, vegetable oil and avocado until combined. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.

Whisk in hot water.

Fill cupcake liners about ⅔ full and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove cupcake from oven and allow to cool a little then transfer to a cooling rack.

In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg whites and sugar for 30 seconds. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water, just a couple inches from the water surface.

Whisk mixture constantly for a few minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture has thinned out. The mixture should reach 160° F. Transfer the mixture immediately to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use a handheld mixer, but it can be tiresome on your arm and take much longer to cool. Beat mixture on medium high speed until stiff glossy peaks form, and the mixture is lukewarm to touch. This may take a bit of time (up to 20 minutes depending on the temperature of the kitchen).

Frost cupcakes. I prefer to use a piping bag with a large star tip but you could also just do a large dollop. Enjoy!

Board approvals

The school board approved the purchase of new social studies and health textbooks at the high school, as well as a new “Learning Continuity and Attendance” plan. Warrants for the first two weeks of September were approved for a total of $2,620,651, and Delgado questioned the $33,000 spent on negotiation, when there were $19,000 in fees the previous month for the same services. “Last year was a lot of money $148,000 (in legal fees),” Delgado said, pointing out that in an earlier budget presentation CUSD administrators were seeking to spend 10 percent less on legal fees this year compared to last. “Watch out on this,” he warned.

Delgado also questioned the legal fees for the district’s Whitney property, and board member Andy Sheaffer then said to Delgado, “I’ve got a question for you, Rogelio,” and asked why he doesn’t ask for clarification on financial matters from the administration before school board meetings, instead of asking “the same question each week.”

“This is a perfect place to ask,” Delgado replied, “… for the record.”

Before adjourning, the board approved warrants for: a new surveillance system at the high school to prevent vandalism and identify perpetrators; paying developer fees in a special account for the year 2020-21; a new scoreboard at CMS as part of Measure U; a lease agreement to provide office space for Measure U staff in the amount of $64,400; and the issuance of the third and final measure U bond for $30 million.

The pandemic’s transformative impact on the economy

BY DEBRA HERRICK

Carpinteria State of the City delivers economic report

At last week’s Carpinteria State of the City, one of Santa Barbara County’s most esteemed economists, Dr. Peter Rupert of the Economic Forecast Project, UC Santa Barbara, presented a sober summary of the county’s current economy. The free event, organized by the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, was filmed live at Bega North America in Carpinteria and hosted virtually.

Rupert first noted the big picture, that the pandemic has hurt those people who can least afford it, including individuals who have been laid off from lower wage jobs and are now having trouble staying in their homes. The U.S. Federal Reserve has announced plans to keep interest rates around 0 percent for another couple of years, he noted, “That tells me that there is uncertainty out there, and they’re certainly worried.”

The pandemic has been “transformative,” Rupert said more than once, citing the historic fall in employment numbers, plummeting swiftly to 20 million U.S. residents out of work between March and April. “It’s the most we’ve ever seen,” said Rupert, “it’s just astonishing.” In the Great Recession, unemployment was 300,000.

Conceding that some sectors that had been hurt—such as retail—were already showing signs of decline in the years leading up to the pandemic, Rupert was clear that this is something entirely different than any downward trends or seasonal drops. “If we compare Santa Barbara employment this July to last July, there’s not one sector that’s doing well,” said Rupert, “…in retail, 6,000 people lost their jobs.

We’ve never seen this level of insecurity in Santa Barbara County, and how we’re dealing with it is important.”

In Carpinteria, from April to November 2019, employment in Carpinteria was 7,100. In 2020, Carpinteria had 6,100 people employed in April and May. In 2019, the average of unemployed people in Carpinteria was 200. In April of 2020, it was 800. “These are numbers we haven’t seen before and we don’t know how to deal with,” said Rupert, noting that “we’re coming back a little bit” with the August unemployment in Carpinteria at 600, showing improvement.

“I have to congratulate (Carpinteria’s) mayor, City Council and Dave (city manager) for allowing businesses to do whatever they can to get people’s jobs back so they can feed their families and pay their rents,” said Rupert, who served on the Santa Barbara task force for reopening. Rupert praised the unprecedented cooperation between businesses, city councils and the chambers for quickly making good decisions that positively impacted the economy. “It’s astounding,” he said, “In just a few weeks, State Street got closed, there were parklets. Without doing that businesses would have closed, there’s no question.”

Despite the prevailing cooperation of city and business leaders, the leisure and hospitality industry is at 50 percent of its pre-Covid employment rates. These numbers concern Rupert who implored residents to think about health more expansively than just the virus. “People want to know how many cases there are out there. How many deaths? I want people to think about health a little different,” he said, “Talking with public health (officials), we’re seeing rises in things that are structurally very bad for our society: when people are unemployed for a very long time, especially lots of people, things like opium addiction increases, alcoholism, child abuse . . . Policy makers need to

That’s not to say all sectors have been pummeled, some sectors have shown signs of strength, such as residential realty where sales prices have yet to dip since the start of the pandemic. The reason?

Rupert thinks that, in part, homeowners are less leveraged in their debts now than they were in 2008 and are better positioned to withstand financial hits such as losing their job.

Finally, Rupert ended by signaling a recovery in the future. It won’t be a V-shaped recovery and the economy won’t just snap back, but, “we will recover,” he said.

Unemployment 2019: 200 2020: 800 2020 (August): 600

Nearly every sector in Santa Barbara County has lost total employment due to the pandemic, with leisure & hospitality the hardest hit.

GET THEM BEFORE THEY’RE GONE! White Chocolate & Avocado ganache, dipped in dark chocolate, sprinkled with Tahitian vanilla sea salt.

IN THE NATUREHOOD NANCY BARON The Townsend’s Warbler was hungry and thirsty. All night it had flown under the canopy of stars, finally visible after days of flying through smoke.

Weeks ago, it had set out from its breeding grounds in the old-growth forests on Vancouver Island, off Canada’s West Coast. It flew 20 miles across the ocean to the mainland and joined up with other insect-eating migrating birds, searching for food by day and flying by night. Smoke began to cloak the air until it could no longer see the stars. The warbler kept flying, feeling its way south, relying on its backup navigation system—the earth’s magnetic field.

The air grew hotter, sparks and ash lit up the night sky and the billowing smoke was so thick that the bird could not rise above nor sink below it. Fires were burning in places where, last year, it had stopped to rest and refuel. It kept on flying.

Near San Francisco, lightning storms and howling headwinds buffeted the tiny bird. Looking for a place to land, the disoriented warbler nearly collided with a tall building—confused by its brilliant lights eerily reflected in the smoke.

Some of its migrating companions dropped along the way, out of fuel and strength to carry on. The tiny warbler kept flying.

After more than two weeks of travelling, the Townsend’s Warbler reached Carpinteria just as dawn was breaking and the star-map starting to fade. It searched for the familiar refuge where it knew it would find insects to eat, water to drink. Spying the yard with oaks and water it landed.

It drank deeply from the bird bath, splashed the ash off its feathers, and started to forage for insects. It was home for the winter—its arrival something of a miracle.

This, of course, is an imagined scenario of a Townsend’s Warbler’s journey here this year, but it is not an unlikely one, according to experts I talked to about this year’s exceptional perils of migration.

The Townsend’s Warblers that winter in California come from the old-growth

Birds need water. During droughts and hot, dry weather, bird baths offer important drinking water. forests on British Columbia’s Haida Gwaii and Vancouver Islands. There is a separate population of Townsend’s Warblers that travels even farther to Mexico and Guatemala. But the Vancouver Island birds call California their winter home.

More than 3.1 million acres have burned in California this year, part of a record fire season that still has months to go. A suffocating cloud of smoke has veiled the West Coast for weeks, extending sometimes to a height of 55,000 feet.

For migrating birds, there is no escape.

If they do find a good area to refuel, they may stop over for several days and try to rebuild fat reserves to carry on.

I reached out to researcher Andrew Farnsworth of Cornell University, who tracks migrating birds by weather surveillance radar. Cornell’s BirdCast (birdcast. info) site features real-time migration over the continental U.S. If you type “Santa Barbara” into the website’s search bar, it forecasts how many birds are predicted to be on the move each night.

It’s hard for me to absorb that since 1970 we have lost 3 billion birds, nearly one out of three across North America according to the most rigorous population assessment ever done.

“This year,” Farnsworth said, “There may be hundreds of thousands or possibly millions of birds dead. There are so many factors: pervasive wildfires, smoke asphyxiation and toxicological issues.”

August and September were the hottest on record, and withering drought. And now we are facing yet another heat wave.

Biologists believe many birds may have been forced to flee the fires before they had put on needed fat reserves for the long migration. Then they died of starvation along the way.

Warblers typically double their weight with fat before they migrate. But they

are losing their refueling stops. It’s like driving from BC to California and finding every familiar gas station closed.

Birds often return to the same places where they remember food sources. Birds that winter in California favor mixed oak-coniferous woodlands, chaparral and suburban parks. Townsend’s are also attracted to bird baths and gardens.

Or look up into the oaks. You may see a brilliant warbler with a black ear patch bordered by yellow.

What can we do to help these birds struggling to make long commutes along the Pacific Flyway despite diminishing habitat, fire, drought and other challenges in a changing climate?

“Vote for the birds,” Farnsworth told me. “Seriously,” he said. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1929 is under assault by various industries seeking to roll back historic protections.

John Callender who leads the Carpinteria Birding Group reflected, “Challenges are big and systemic, and the responses have to be big and systemic—but the first step is being aware. I started Carp Bird Watch to try to build up collective concern, and collective responses.”

“It’s okay to grieve,” says John, “but we also have to do what we can.”

Cornell Lab of Ornithology publishes a list of seven simple things we can all do to help birds: 1) Make windows safer with decals for the day and turning out lights at night.

2) Keep cats indoors. Cats kill 2.6 billion birds annually.

3) Plant native plants. Provide water.

4) Avoid pesticides. Buy organic.

5) Buy bird-friendly coffee to encourage farmers.

6) Minimize use of plastics.

7) Watch birds and share your enthusiasm.

Nancy Baron leads communication workshops for environmental scientists and lives in Carpinteria. Thanks to Andrew Farnsworth and Amanda Rodewald of Cornell University, Richard Cannings, and John Callender. The next Carpinteria Birders’ meeting is Oct. 8.

Behind the scenes at Danny’s Deli & Car Wash CVN

TRADE SECRETS M E G A N WA L D R E P “When you own a business, the business owns you.” I’m sitting outside of Danny’s Deli & Car Wash, masked and socially distant, with the owner, Danny Kellogg. It’s an early Tuesday morning, the marine layer is thick, and the only other people up, it seems, are the street cleaners with leaf blowers in hand just outside the iron fence. I push my phone closer to Danny, hoping the voice memo app is recording every word I’m unable to hear.

“There’s a lot of drawbacks in owning your own business, but I’ve always had a love for fishing Channel Islands,” Danny says. “Being my own boss gave me the ability to work hard every day. So anytime the ocean went calm, I could find a way to leave work and go fishing.”

I ask what it means to have a business “own you,” and he explains that although he can take off for the occasional calm day or two, a week without stepping foot into the building is a no-go—and that is also his trade secret. “As the owner,” he says, “you’ve got to be on top of it all the time.

Employees just don’t do things the way you would do it, which is understandable. You’ve got to watch your business closely.”

Danny is a third-generation business owner, his father and grandfather before him. Though he was raised in Santa Barbara, Danny speaks frankly, chooses his words carefully, and has this approachable, mid-Western air about him. Which makes sense, considering his grandfather was from Indiana, where he owned a clothing business before moving the operation to Carpinteria. (The store was actually two doors down from where we sit today, in the same strip of shops as La Tiendita.)

With that kind of background, the best business advice his family passed on was to watch your payroll and pay attention to costs. “And, if at all possible, don’t buy new equipment. Try to find stuff that’s used because new equipment is really expensive,” Danny says. “And don’t go into debt!”

After 37 years of being in business,

Danny Kellogg of Danny’s Deli & Car Wash warns new business owners to watch costs and “and don’t go into debt!”

Danny says that the advice he would tell his younger self is to put your heart and soul into your business. “You need to find a piece of property that you can buy as in, work-to-own. Property leasing is harder because the more you make, the more you pay in rent. You’re working for somebody else,” Danny says. “If I were to do things differently, I would have opened a business where I was working to buy the piece of property.”

From reading the vintage sign out front, the one adored with two fourleaf clovers, some may not realize that Danny’s Deli & Car Wash is actually a bait and tackle shop, too. A nod to his passion for sport fishing, fishermen can step inside, grab a few lures and a tri-tip sandwich to go, while checking out his local wall-of-fame, which includes Danny holding record breaking catches of the day. I wonder how this building grew into a motley crew of businesses, and he

shares that when the rent doubled about a year into signing the lease, he opened the deli to increase earnings and the bait and tackle shop eventually followed suit.

Danny admits that although he’ll never finish everything that needs to be done within the business, his ability to take care of what’s most important at any given moment on a continuous basis is the key to his success—his work ethic.

“With three businesses here, it’s a lot, and I have it all stored in my head,” Danny shares. “A key to my success is probably how much I can store in my head and stay up on my responsibilities.

As I reach to stop the voice recording app, I ask Danny what makes his tri-tip sandwiches so “famous,” gesturing to the word splashed across the awning above the front door. “Oak bark,” he says. “Oak bark gives it a great flavor. That’s what Santa Maria barbecues use. And that’s a good trade secret, too.”

Danny’s Deli & Car Wash is located at 4890 Carpinteria Ave. Megan Waldrep is a columnist and freelance writer, currently living on a 34-foot sailboat.

THROWBACK Continued from page 26 five-year contracts, to build the western portion of the railroad that met up with a predominantly Irish railroad gang from the East Coast at Promontory, Utah, where the Golden Spike signifying the completion of the transcontinental railroad was driven into the ground. By 1876, they were returning to California, their starting point. In the same year that Caldwell cites Chinese arriving in Carpinteria, many of them were also going into the Yosemite Valley carving out walls, roads, and trails still used to this day.

The Chinese were hard-working and heroic. While in California, Mark Twain wrote that the Chinese were “as industrious as the day is long.” He added that “A disorderly Chinaman is rare, and a lazy one does not exist.” Their exploits climbing up steep hills as they carved their way through the mountains laying railroad track for the intercontinental railroad, and in the Yosemite, are legendary. Many gave up their lives in the taming of the West.

In Carpinteria, local anecdotes about their nimbleness laying track on the Rincon and Ortega Hill are remembered. Despite this, they were villified in California and, at times, treated abominably. They were accused of stealing jobs and prospects of wealth from Americans. During their introduction to California during the Gold Rush, for example, most of the murders attributed to Joaquin Murrieta and his riders were of the Chinese in their mining camps. Both the Americans and the Californios resented their presence.

“The Chinese must go!” was a common slogan of politicians, and by 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act was enacted into law.

It was renewed in 1892 and 1902. By the 1920s, there were few Chinese left in the U. S., and Carpinteria apparently played its part. When C. D. Hubbard started his citrus company in 1912, the Carpinteria Valley News happily reported that no “Celestials”—Chinese—would be in his employ. Little did the newspaper know that a decade later many in the community wouldn’t be happy with Hubbard’s use of Mexican labor in his packinghouse, either!

Today in the U. S., the Chinese presence and contribution to the country is

CARPINTERIA VALLEY MUSEUM OF HISTORY

Director/curator of the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History, David Griggs, demonstrates how a handcarved yoke of redwood was used by Chinese watercarriers. This artifact was found in the 1920s about 400 yards from Rincon Creek on the Gutierrez Ranch in Rincon Canyon. The yoke was probably left by the railroad workers putting down the original Southern Pacific line that reached Carpinteria in 1887.

John West was revived on Carpinteria State Beach in August after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest. He and his wife Rosemary, along with their family, expressed gratitude to the community members that performed life saving measures at the time of his collapse.

Family updates community after civilians and firefighters save life at State Beach In a letter to CVN, referencing the newspaper’s Aug. 30 article, “Firefighters resuscitate man at beach,” the family of the man referenced, John West, expressed their heartfelt appreciation to the Carpinteria community for prompt emergency assistance when West collapsed at Carpinteria State Beach on the afternoon of Sunday, Aug. 30. As a result of the quick response, West was able to get needed help, was transported to Cottage Hospital, received an ICD the next day, and was released from the hospital two days later. “He is now home continuing his recovery, walking and talking and grateful each day!” wrote the family.

At the hospital, the family was informed that West collapsed because of sudden cardiac arrest with shockable rhythm. Hospital staff also emphasized that early CPR and AED interaction were integral to his being able to perform “purposeful movement” and even answer basic questions so soon. “We are deeply grateful for that ‘early interaction.’ An off-duty flight nurse, State Beach lifeguards, Mounted Division Deputies, followed by responding fire and medical personnel to continue life-saving protocol, was a remarkable collaboration of community and first responders,” the family wrote. “Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the caring, swift response that was life-saving for our husband, father and grandfather.”

THE BOOK NOOK Carpinteria Library recommends

“BTTM FDRS”

By Ezra Claytan Daniels, with illustrations by Ben Passmore

What do you get when you put together body horror, comedy and gentrification? You get “BTTM FDRS” by Ezra Claytan Daniels, with illustrations by Ben Passmore. Darla is an aspiring black fashion designer fresh out of art school and eager for cheap rent. Much to her father’s chagrin, she moves into a building in her parents’ old neighborhood located in Chicago’s South Side. The landlord seeks to revitalize the neighborhood by displacing its current residents with a younger, hipper crowd. As one character puts it, “No matter what you have, no matter how little it is, they’re gonna take it from you eventually. That’s not on you.

That’s not even on them, really. That’s just how they do. Always have, always will.”

Darla and her white best friend, Cynthia, get a weird feeling about the apartment building, but Darla is insistent on gaining some sort of independence and decides to stay. Things go awry when Darla accuses Cynthia of using her for social gain and whatever is lurking inside Darla’s apartment building quickly becomes more sinister. Not a book I’d recommend to just anyone, but if cartoonish horror and social commentary pique your interest, this is a book to check out. Recommended for mature teens and adults who want a quick, creepy read with a socio-economic bent. “BTTM FDRS” is available on Hoopla with your library card.

“The Happiness Project”

By Gretchen Rubin

The Happiness Project (Revised Edition) 2015, by Gretchen Rubin, came to me in September 2020 and I could not put it down, realizing that I had put off so many of these ideas as unimportant or

too abstract to matter. As I live my stayat-home, mask wearing life in beautiful Carpinteria, there is no escape from the extraordinary anxiety that I find during this surreal time. While the book is secular, the ideas are universal and as old as the beginning of time. For me, it is a “bucket list” for the version of myself that I never got around to becoming. Rubin begins her journey by reading many of the great minds that have wrestled with the question of “happiness,” before she reflects honestly about her own behavior and how she divides her time among family, work and friendship maintenance.

Gretchen Rubin takes a “deep dive” into her personal list of 12 topics, one for each month in the year. She chose the topics that would be essential in keeping to her personally written Twelve Commandments: 1) Be Gretchen! I too want only to be myself, a more-polite, forgiving and gracious version of Kathy. If I am not grumbling, then I am possibly a little bit happier. I was delighted to learn there is “The Happiness Project” podcast too!

“With the Fire on High”

By Elizabeth Acevedo

When Emoni Santiago became pregnant her freshman year of high school people expected her life was over. She was made fun of by her peers, and looked down on by people in the streets. As a senior in high school, her immediate family consisted of her abuela (grandmother) and her three-year-old daughter. All the tough decisions she has to make revolve around these two people. However, there is one place in the world where she is able to let go of everything and be whoever she wants to be: the kitchen.

Abuela says she has magic hands, and eventually, Emoni believes her. Whenever Emoni is in the kitchen, she pours all her love and creativity into her dishes. She is an avid chef with a natural passion for creative dishes. Her dream has always been to run her own kitchen and become a chef, however she knows it’s not worth her time to strive for what seems so unattainable. Yet, the kitchen always calls her back to unveil the passion and talent Emoni cannot keep to herself.

Emoni is a single Afro-Latina teen mother. This book highlights challenges Emoni faces from an intersectional perspective. Her father is Afro-Puerto Rican, and her mother is African-American from Philadelphia. Emoni’s identity is questioned her whole life—does she feel more Latina or more Black? Her Blackness is questioned due to her father’s Puerto Rican heritage, yet she wishes that people would understand that she is wholly Black. “This stuff is complicated. But it’s like I’m some long division problem folks keep wanting to parcel into pieces… The whole of me is Black. The whole of me is whole.”
