Fire district in “holding pattern” on bond measure

Great strides

Guravitz back in CSFPD saddle By Peter DuGré

“For us to get 66 and twothirds percent approval, the voting residents of this district will want to know, need to know, if the firefighters support this.”

The CarpinteriaSummerland Fire Protection District Board of Directors remains unable to shift into drive to put a $10 to $12 million general obligation bond on the 2014 ballot. As the June deadline looms for making the November ballot, board members at the March 18 meeting decided that without clear support from firefighters to seek public funding on rebuild plans for both local stations, voters would be unlikely to open their wallets. The board will await ––Boardmember communication from Craig Price the firefighters association before spending further dollars on legal council and other procedural costs necessary to go to ballot. Boardmember Craig Price, a stalwart supporter of a bond measure to upgrade both Carpinteria and Summerland stations, said, “I want to have a better idea if we have a prayer of a chance of getting this bond passed,” Price said. “For us to get 66 and two-thirds percent approval, the voting residents of this district will want to know, need to know, if the firefighters support this.” Other points of contention for whether to move forward with the bond came from members of the public who had sat on a district ad hoc committee designed to study the proposed station rebuilds. The district hopes to move its 90-year-old Summerland station a stone’s throw up Lillie Avenue at the site currently occupied by the Mosquito and Vector Management District and to build a seismically fit station there as well as in Carpinteria, bringing both aging facilities into the 21st century. Although the ad hoc committee had recommended moving forward with a bond measure, members at the March 18 meeting said they needed more to time study issues with the location and designs of the proposed rebuilds. They also contended that a district-funded third-party study on engine response times by Diamante Partners was inadequate. Carpinteria resident Doug Treloar likened the proposed station in Summerland to the Taj Mahal and recommended simplifying designs to little more than four metal walls and a roof. He cited examples of fire stations constructed in the style called “butler buildings” in Montana, where he also keeps a home, as adequate and functional. “I’m here to say we can get by on a lot less than is designed,” Treloar said.

Water board scrutinizes groundwater supply By LeA BOyD

In preparation for a drought that persists into next year and beyond, the Carpinteria Valley Water District board of directors met on March 12 and authorized a $9,720 contract with Pueblo Water resources for an updated report on the status of the local groundwater basin. high quality, abundant groundwater is considered the district’s ace up its sleeve as it faces a continued drought, and the report will better inform decision makers about the critical resource beneath their feet. Last completed in 2008, the hydrological study should provide CVWD with “one more tool to assess whether we want to continue to pump or change our pumping regime,” said District engineer Bob McDonald. he added that the study will also help the district to determine whether replenishment of the basin is occurring after the drought. At capacity, the valley’s groundwater basin contains 125,000 AF of water accessible to the district. Assuming a maximum draw of 6,000 AF per year, the district’s groundwater supply should last about 20 years, McDonald said. Low cumulative precipitation over the last nine years, however, has resulted in declining levels of groundwater. Sea water contaminating local groundwater is another risk the district may face if the drought persists and underground supplies continue to decline. The pressure of fresh water in the underground aquifers is thought to be keeping salt water from entering the water supply. Depletion of the basin below sea level, however, could result in salt water intrusion.

Sea water contaminating local groundwater is another risk the district may face if the drought persists and underground supplies continue to decline. “We don’t have a way of directly telling (if sea water intrusion is) occurring,” McDonald said. he explained to the board that a testing well near Sandyland Cove would provide early indications of sea water in the aquifers. No plans are in place to drill such a well, but McDonald’s presentation gave the board food for thought. Boardmembers also voted to pursue a water exchange deal for 1,000 acre feet with San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency, but the deal, which would have included other Central Coast Water Authority agencies, such as Montecito Water District, came to a halt when San Gorgonio’s board opted out last week. This winter is coming to a close as the third driest on record, and water agencies throughout the thirsty state are scrambling to find water. Deals to purchase and swap water are cropping up then disappearing at a fast clip. CVWD boardmember June Van Wingerden summed it up in a report on the last meetings of the Water Authority that she had attended on the district’s behalf: “everything I’ve said about these two meetings has probably changed at this point,” she said

VENOCO, INC.

A Series of Oil and Natural Gas Facts This is the second in a series about how Carpinteria and Venoco have worked together for 15 years to ensure the safe production and distribution of oil and natural gas. Last week’s information covered California’s sources of oil and natural gas. California is second only to Texas in oil consumption, yet California produces less than 40 percent of the oil and less than 15 percent of the natural gas used daily. Current community attention is on hydraulic fracturing, which has been used for over 60 years as a way to increase production from existing wells to generate more domestic production. Currently, Venoco does not use hydraulic fracturing in their operations and has no plans to use it in any proposed projects in Carpinteria or in the Santa Barbara Channel. However, it is important that Carpinteria residents are fully informed about the issues relating to the process.

· Oil and natural gas are safely produced from more than 200 active onshore and offshore oil fields

in California. There are approximately 20 active oil fields in Santa Barbara County and in the Santa Barbara Channel. The energy industry is tightly-regulated starting from the initial plans to develop resources to the drilling, completion and production of the oil and natural gas. This includes hydraulic fracture stimulation.

· Once an oil or natural gas well is drilled and properly lined with steel casing and geologists

determine hydraulic fracturing is needed, then fluids are pumped through the steel pipe down the well thousands of feet below the earth’s surface. The fluids typically are 99.5 percent water and sand and are pressurized so they produce tiny cracks in the rock formation. These cracks or fractures allow oil and natural gas to flow more freely. The width of each fracture is about the size of the lead inside a #2 pencil, and the height of fractures extend only about 100-200 feet, still thousands of feet below groundwater basins.

Anyone interested in stopping to smell the flowers, should mark the calendar for the 6th Annual Carpinteria Greenhouse & Nursery Tour on Saturday, March 29, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The public is invited to attend free, farmer-guided tours of six flower farms in the Carpinteria Valley. Among the flowers that will be showcased are roses, gerberas, orchids and more. Each farmer will demonstrate a variety of sustainable growing and harvesting practices. B&G Color Nursery, Gallup & Stribling Orchids, Maximum Nursery, Myriad Flowers, Westland Orchids and Produce and Westerlay Orchids are scheduled to take part in the annual tour. This year’s tour will kick off with a four-course “Field to Vase” dinner made with locally grown ingredients and served with Santa Barbara County wines. Tables will be adorned with Carpinteria Valley flowers. The cost to attend is $120 per person or $200 for two people. To purchase tickets for the dinner or find out more about the tour, contact Anna Kalins at 284-8584 or akalins@ccfc.org.

DnA

· In any geologic formation oil and gas deposits are separated from drinking water aquifers by

one or more impermeable rock barriers. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, hydraulic fracturing itself has never been found to adversely impact water supplies. The process is subjected to extensive state and federal regulations including the Clean water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act.

· The average amount of water used for a hydraulic fracture in California is approximately

100,000 gallons per well—some of which is recycled from the oil production process. This is less than half the amount of water needed to irrigate a golf course for a single day.

· Hydraulic fracturing operations occur over very short time periods, usually lasting only several

hours. The process is not an ongoing operation. Once hydraulic fracturing has occurred inside a well, crude oil or natural gas production may continue for years without additional fracturing.

Pesticides, fire and water Bees in the crossfire?

Dreaded Asian citrus psyllids have turned up in parts of Summerland, according to the CDFA (California Department of Food and Agriculture). These are the bugs you don’t want to see on your citrus trees because they carry HLB, a disease that’s a death knell to the trees. It can, and has, wiped out whole groves in other areas. In fact, HLB is the most devastating disease of citrus in the world. Florida has been walloped by HLB, also known as greening disease. So far there is no cure, only prevention. Although the pysllids have been found in SB County, the disease HLB has not been found. The state, hoping to stamp out the potential for disease, plans to spray parts of Summerland with a cocktail of pesticides. One of those, imidacloprid, is highly toxic to honey bees. The Summerland Citizens Association sent out a bulletin advising residents they could opt out if they were concerned about bees. The Santa Barbara Beekeepers Association is up in arms about the possibility of losing more bees. Last year, 16 bee colonies collapsed in Montecito, with pesticides fingered as one probable cause. Imidacloprid is banned in Europe due to its link to major bee die-offs. The Beekeepers Association is eager to help people targeted for spraying to opt out. For more information visit their website: sbba.org/. The state plans to use imidacloprid (brand name Merit) on the backyard trees of 280 residences, mostly in the Summerland area. Homeowners will be notified by mail if their property is in the treatment area. They can choose to opt out of the spraying, but must post a clear message to this effect on their doors. The CFDA held a meeting last Thursday at Pacifica Graduate Institute to address residents’ concerns about the program. I attended and had a long conversation with a U.C. Extension entomologist whose expertise is bees. I learned that the pesticide will be applied as a “soil drench,” not sprayed, and that the tree takes it up, and nymphs and adult psyllids feed on the leaves and die. Treatment is to take place early in the morning when bees are not present. Bees could die only if they are sprayed directly or ingest the poison, which should not be present

in pollen or nectar. For more information on the subject, call the CFDA hotline at (800) 491-1899. There are a few alternatives available to control Asian citrus psyllids—some oil sprays and certain wasps and parasitic beetles, but the biological agents are not yet widely available. As I learned more about the seriousness of the disease and its potential impact on the state’s $1.8 billion citrus industry (California produces 80 percent of the nation’s fresh market oranges), I felt less inclined to object to the state’s treatment program. My backyard citrus are adjacent to, not in, the treatment area, but I’ll be keeping a sharp eye on my lemon and lime trees, looking for the dreaded psyllids.

Waste(d) water

That’s Heal the Ocean’s trademarked term for the cleaned-up wastewater that South Coast sanitary districts dump into the ocean. In the Santa Barbara area 16,380,000 gallons of wastewater flow to the ocean from sewer plants every day. Heal the Ocean estimates that using recycled wastewater for outside irrigation would offset over half the water demand throughout the region. And would free up enough drinking water to supply the equivalent of 134,193 residents. So why aren’t we piping in this recycled wastewater right now? Downtown Summerland is already plumbed for it. When they redesigned Lillie Avenue for parking and planting and lights, they also put in pipes to carry recycled water. Hey! Turn on the spigots. I contacted Heal the Ocean’s executive director Hillary Hauser to find out what it would take. It turns out it would take a lot, even though the Summerland Sanitary District is a tertiary treatment plant, which means the water is clean enough for outside watering. Because there are pipes along our main street, Summerland’s local businesses, hotels and restaurants could all have easy access to recycled water. That is, if there were pipes from the sanitary district up to Lillie Ave., which would require engineering and money. The big catch 22, which I learned from Hauser, is that recycled water production has to come from water districts! They’re in charge of water sales. For Summerland, that would be the Montecito Water District (MWD). And right now, MWD’s

focus is very much elsewhere. Rationing, clamping down on water wasters, frantically searching for places to buy more water before they run out entirely. The MWD doesn’t have plans for recycled water sales. The Montecito wastewater treatment plant doesn’t even have a plan for a tertiary upgrade to make the water usable (and saleable). Heal the Ocean is pushing hard for that to happen. For Summerland there’s an unfortunate domino effect. We’re forced to wait for the Montecito Water District to get their sanitary district to upgrade to the tertiary level (with big expenses involved) so that their wastewater could be recycled. After that occurs, the MWD will be in the recycled water sales business and could sell Summerland’s waste(d) water. Makes you want to tear your hair. One glimmer on the horizon is that there is Proposition 84 funding available for recycled water projects. With the passage of the latest drought relief bill, an additional $200 million was added to the package. Heal the Ocean is on the steering committee for Prop. 84 funding and has been developing projects to get on the list. We have to hope that our poor parched South Coast water agencies make the list. And we should definitely throw our support behind Heal the Ocean’s efforts on our behalf!

Fire Board to review and discuss plans for a new fire station in Summerland. In question were the need for a new station and the best location for it. The committee met over a period of several months and presented their recommendations at last month’s fire board meeting. At that meeting the fire board also heard from the independent consulting firm (Diamante Group) it had hired to look into the same question. As it turned out, the conclusions reached by both the consultants and the committee were pretty much identical. Diamante found that the current Summerland fire station was in nearly all respects “below standard.” They, along with the committee, recommended that the district move forward with purchasing the Lillie Avenue site in Summerland as soon as possible, both to secure the location and to reduce the amount of any general obligation bond. There was consensus that a bond measure was the preferred method for financing construction of a new station in Summerland and critical upgrades to the Carpinteria station. The big question remains: Will building a new Summerland fire station and improving the Carpinteria station—vital to our safety in these dry times—make the fall ballot? One good thing: Long, warm summer evenings in winter.

No more room

Cloudy with a chance of termite poo

A woman relaxing on her ground-level patio on March 11 complained that her upstairs neighbor made it rain “termite poo” all over her relaxation. When the downstairs neighbor confronted the upstairs neighbor for sweeping off her balcony, the upstairs neighbor, a 69-yearold woman, allegedly began spitting at the downstairs neighbor, 51, according to the downstairs neighbor. For her part, the upstairs neighbor denied raining spit or termite poo on her neighbor. The two had an antagonistic history, she said, and she had already reached out to management about the downstairs neighbor ’s squalid patio. She allowed her dog to urinate all over the patio, said the upstairs neighbor, and conditions were so poor that fleas had migrated upstairs. Neither asked for prosecution, and deputies advised that the neighbors should handle the situations with apartment complex management before involving law enforcement.

Gateway bust

A deputy who made contact with a man and woman for illegally smoking cigarettes on a Carpinteria Avenue sidewalk on March 5 just before midnight came to suspect that the couple was high on more than nicotine. The deputy noted that the man’s jaw was flexed, teeth grinding. Asked if they’d been smoking meth, the couple said no, with the woman, 45, firing off, “I smoked a line yesterday,” at a rapid cadence. Deputies found her to be on probation for a felony drug charge. The man, 31, said he had also abstained since the previous day. A search of their nearby apartment yielded a small amount of marijuana and a syringe. The woman said she had a phobia about syringes, so clearly the needle wasn’t hers. About whether it belonged to the man, she did not know; syringe use

had been a source of contention in their relationship, the woman explained. They both were arrested for allegedly being under the influence of meth.

Third wheel

A man parked on Via Real having a phone conversation with his girlfriend at 7:50 p.m. on March 3 was intruded upon by an alleged would-be burglar. The park-and-chat driver observed a vehicle pull up behind him occupied by a man and woman. The man exited the vehicle and shined a flashlight into the vehicle in which the phone conversation was happening. When he reached the driver’s side, his face nearly pressed against the window, he noticed there was a man sitting there. The snooper reportedly uttered, “Oh (expletive), he’s in the car,” before backtracking to his vehicle. The near-victim, who commented to deputies that his vehicle had already been burglarized twice, turned on his vehicle and put it in reverse in an attempt to box in the other vehicle. However, the other vehicle also reversed until it smashed bumpers with the parked vehicle behind it. It then pulled a U-turn and drove off before entering the freeway. The near-victim pursued the vehicle while contacting the sheriff’s department. He stopped his pursuit on southbound Highway 101 at Bates Road. During the chase, he managed to get the license plate number for deputies. Deputies linked the vehicle to a 49-year-old Oxnard man and were able to round up a portrait from a former booking. From a lineup, the near-victim picked out the man’s photo as the same guy he was face-to-face with across his car window.

Remember when you were a small child, and your world was a simple place? It didn’t take long to figure out that Dad was the person to go to if you wanted ice cream, but if you wanted a story, Mom supplied the best lap. Add a year or two and everyone expected you to learn how to count to 10 and then 20 and then on up to 100 and beyond. Soon you had to memorize MELINDA the alphabet song and the date of your birthday and your address and your phone number—just in case you got lost. And you had to know the names of all your relatives, or at least the ones you saw regularly. A few more years passed as you added words to your vocabulary, learned how to read, tackled the multiplication tables and figured out what times the best cartoons were on TV. Each year in school brought more facts you had to store in your memory bank—the names of all the states, the list of all the presidents, the Pythagorean Theorem, the rules of basketball and who was Moby Dick. And to complicate things even more, the social world started becoming more and more important, pushing you to learn the rules of etiquette, who liked whom (an ever changing list), what to wear, what to say, and on and on and on. As an adult you know your social security number, your anniversary, the birthdays of all your children and where they live, when your dog needs a check up, how to cook a dinner in 30 minutes so you can feed a soccer team and where your husband has his secret stash of chocolate. Do your eyes glaze over just thinking of all the data you have stored in your brain? Imagine how many file cabinets it would take to house all those pieces of information that have entered your memory at some point—row after row after row, file after file. No wonder it takes longer and longer for us to find certain tidbits that have gotten misplaced somewhere along the line. I don’t know

about you, but sometimes I see someone in town, stop and have a casual conversation, and walk away with the elves in my brain scrambling around searching for the name of this person I evidently know. It also happens with words. I’m trying to write something specific, and I know I know a certain word that would be perfect to use. It’s on the tip of my tongue, on the edge of my WITTWER mind, just ready to pop up. But I can’t quite recall exactly what it is. Sometimes the thesaurus on my computer provides the answer, sometimes my husband or sometimes I just have to wait for those elves to find the answer and give it to me—usually two days later when I’m in the shower. And we all know that if we put something away in a safe place that’s the kiss of death. We’ll never see that invoice or business card or phone number again. We used to laugh at my mom. She would find the Easter candy when she was looking for decorations for Halloween; Christmas presents would morph into birthday presents, and a new sweater might be two years old before she wore it. Finally she kept a notebook where she jotted down the location of each item, and I’m finally beginning to see the usefulness of such an effort. I know people contribute these memory lapses to advancing age, but I disagree. We just have too much information we have accumulated over the years to store each item efficiently. Even computers bog down and work slower to retrieve info if too many programs are running. Just think of what we have to keep track of—schedules, dates, sizes, names, plans, directions and tax laws. To my way of thinking, it’s a wonder we remember as well as we do as we mature past 60. So the next time someone young starts to give you a hard time about your retention of information, just smile and think about how much richer your memories are.

Trees here today, gone tomorrow

From left, California Avocado Festival boardmembers Gary Dobbins, Leo Fortunato, Emily Miles, Gregg Carty and Mike Lazaro (not pictured, Anthony Staal) are in full swing planning mode for this year’s festival.

Avofest works yearround for community BY LEA BOYD

For many Carpinterians, the California Avocado Festival is just a big party held downtown on the first weekend of October. Organizers are aiming to convince locals otherwise, and the numbers back their claims. In 2013, the festival raised $70,000 for local nonprofits and kicked off a growing scholarship fundraising effort. Avofest may seem like just three days of fun, but it provides year round benefits for the community of Carpinteria. The festival is designed to be revenue neutral, said administrator Debra McCarty, Avofest’s only staff person. Festival goers enter for free, so the cost to produce the event is mainly made up through fees charged to the vendors. Three days worth of rentals, water, electricity, bands, added law enforcement, portable bathrooms, garbage services and many other costs amounted to $270,000 in 2012 (2013’s numbers haven’t been finalized). To encourage charity participation, the festival subsidizes 50 percent of the booth fee for nonprofits. About 20 nonprofits participated in the 2013 festival, and McCarty hopes to see that number grow in years to come. She is working to implement an adopt-a-booth program that pairs nonprofits with willing sponsors. The benefits to festival participation for nonprofits include not only the fundraising potential of a 100,000-person audience, McCarty emphasized, but also the ability to raise awareness and volunteer support for local causes. Carpinteria Lions Club, which started selling its tri tip sandwiches at the first Avofest in 1987, counts on the $14,500 it makes annually to continue its long-time support of local causes, such as Future Farmers of America and Girls Inc. of Carpinteria. According to booth chair David Seehoff, the Lions sell 4,500 sandwiches stuffed with 3,000 pounds of tri tip at a

typical Avofest. “It’s great to have this event available to us,” Seehoff said. The club’s other main fundraiser, the Festival of Trees, relies on the long-vacant Austin’s Hardware store. With the fate of the venue up in the air, Seehoff said, the organization’s reliable Avofest income is key to its ongoing community efforts. Improvements to the festival are implemented every year, Avofest Board President Leo Fortunato said, and currently one of the areas of focus is building up the festival’s scholarship fund. Last year, two Carpinteria High School seniors were awarded $1,000, and this year the organization plans to give three students $1,500. Scholarships are partly funded through beer booth tips. Fortunato noted that the festival has reduced its environmental impact over the years as well as the cost for nonproﬁt participation. Additionally, a greater emphasis has been placed on local avocado growers and the industry as a whole. “We’re always trying to increase the focus on the avocado,” he said. Organizers point out that though the festival is still six months away, they are already six months into plotting and planning for the 28 th Annual California Avocado Festival. The six-member board meets regularly, and McCarty is working to secure sponsorships, prepare tax materials and sell what remains of 2013 merchandise. Vendor applications went online in January, and McCarty is already processing dozens of submitted applications. This year ’s festival will have new beneﬁts for attendees. Increased fun and activities are promised for the Kids Zone, and last year ’s popular social media booth will be larger. Fortunato said that, though details won’t be available for a while, he is “most looking forward to a new avocado ice cream recipe.”

The Canary Island pine trees are gone. We cannot bring them back, but I believe that, in a democratic society, citizens have a right to question the circumstances in which this action was taken. The Santa Barbara News-Press on March 10 carried a news item, which stated: “The Carpinteria City Council will discuss authorizing City Manager Dave Durﬂinger to execute a contract for nearly $190,000 for the construction of a park at Monday’s meeting, according to a city staff report. The Seaside Park project will cost $250,000 overall, with the construction materials, tree removal, survey work and construction management contributing to the total.” Although the council meeting to execute the contract was held at 5:30 p.m. on March 10, the trees in question were already removed, cut down and sawed to pieces that morning. I have been informed that Canary pines are non-native; so are palm trees. I have been informed that the pines were infested with bark beetles, but the trees and the heart wood are gone and that can’t be veriﬁed. I do know that long, pendulous needles do seem droopy but they channel every drop of moisture down to the tree root where it does the most good.

A workshop to prevent the worst

Are you concerned that a member of your family or a friend may be suicidal? Throughout our lives many of us have experienced moments of hopelessness and depression. Recognizing the red flags of desperation can and does save lives, averting tragedy. HopeNet of Carpinteria is sponsoring its second interactive workshop where participants will learn the warning signs, coping strategies and sources of support within our community. Means matter. An important aspect of suicide prevention is reducing easy access to dangerous substances at home. Removing lethal means from a vulnerable person, especially a youth, can save a life. (It’s like keeping the car keys away from person who has had too much to drink.) How people attempt suicide plays a crucial role in whether they live or die. Keeping a firearm at home triples the risk of suicide. Studies of firearm suicides among youth (age 17 and under) show that at least 82 percent used a firearm belonging to a family member. A new California law mandates that if you have minor children and own a firearm, it must be unloaded and locked away securely separate from the ammunition, which must also be locked securely. Please join us to learn and understand the warning signs, coping strategies and sources of support on Wednesday, March 26, from 7 to 9 p.m., at Carpinteria Woman’s Club.

FIRE BOARD: Continued from page 1

Chief Mike Mingee commented that the ad hoc committee had unanimously recommended that the district move forward with a bond measure, as had the Diamante report, leaving Mingee wondering how more time could be needed. He commented that “time is of the essence” and that committee members in attendance were “resurrecting things that had already been discussed in committee.” He said the committee had been so confident in its recommendation to proceed with plans to fund the stations that it recommended finding a way to purchase the land with district funds. “They were okay with the site; they said go ahead and buy it now,” Mingee said. Regarding firefighter support, boardmember Chris Johnson, who was elected to the board with the backing of the firefighters association, commented that he could “put out feelers” to ascertain the level of support among district firefighters. Of whether firefighters would get behind new stations, Price said, “To me there’s a lot of ‘don’t look a gift horse in the mouth’ sort of thing here.” Board President Ben Miller concluded that the district would remain in a “holding pattern” for the short term until word came from district firefighters. He also commented that it was the district’s duty to update facilities that needed it, and that those considering rebuild plans should think about what the district might look like 50 years into the future.

Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District Board of Directors appointed lone applicant and former boardmember Lisa Guravitz into the seat vacated by the passing of boardmember Bob Duncan. Guravitz lost the 2012 election, but both boardmembers who defeated her in that election, Chris Johnson and Bill Taff, voted with the majority to reseat Guravitz. “Thank you for stepping up. We could deﬁnitely use the help right now. You’re uniquely qualiﬁed,” Taff said. Other board members also expressed relief that Guravitz would be able to hit the ground running.

spotlight on John McCoy By kiM Drain

John McCoy has basketball on the brain. Not just during March Madness, but all year long. As coach of the Carpinteria High School Frosh/Soph squad, McCoy has just wrapped the 2013-2014 season, which he described as “a great learning experience for all of us.” “Some of the guys had never played before,” explained McCoy. “So, once we all got to know each other, we really turned our record around.” On game days, McCoy was easily spotted courtside dressed impeccably in a suit and one of his signature fedoras. It’s just one of the many ways McCoy shows respect for the game and its players. Just because high school basketball is over doesn’t mean McCoy stops thinking about it. He’s constantly analyzing stats, drills and skills in preparation for the next season. McCoy has learned from some of the best coaches, and he is eager to pass that on to the next generation. When basketball is at your core, there are no days off. Occupation: Basketball coach; Carpinteria High School and Boys & Girls Club. How long have you been in Carpinteria? I’m a local boy, born and raised here. How did you arrive at this particular career? It’s funny because fate has played a big role in landing me in certain positions. This was one of them. I had just moved back to Carpinteria after college, and I got a call from the coach at the high school asking if I could help out. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. How did you prepare for being a basketball coach? I was always playing sports as a kid, but basketball was the one I focused on most. I played all through high school, and at Sonoma State. The court is what I knew and where I felt most comfortable. What is the best thing about what you do? I have known a lot of these players from the time they were little kids at the Boys & Girls Club. It has been very rewarding to see them grow and mature, not just as athletes but as young men. I like being able to share my experience with them and give them the right dose of discipline and support when they need it most. What is the most challenging thing about what you do? I had a really big squad this year. It was difficult to devise practice drills that can utilize that many people on one court. I need to fairly evaluate the skills of each player and make sure each team member is playing to his strengths. I always coach to win but not to alienate. If you weren’t doing this, what would you be doing? I’ve always been athletic, so I am sure something in sports. What is the best advice you have given your players? I’m in a good place in my life right now to relate to the kids. I’m not trying to be fatherly or their friend. I tell them to surround themselves with good people who will help them stay focused. You really have to pursue your goals with a singleminded passion. I think the kids are grateful for the life lessons I can share with them.

Morrill promoted to iBC’s head brewer

Island Brewing Company announced that Ryan Morrill has been promoted to the position of head brewer. “We’re happy to announce the promotion of (Morrill) to head brewer for the brewery,” stated owner paul Wright. “(Morrill) started as a delivery driver with us four years ago, then moved into the cellar as an assistant brewer, and from day one he has been a major driving force in our efforts toward brewing fresh, flavorful and local beer.” Morrill is an avid home brewer and long-time resident of Carpinteria with a penchant for brewing with conventional and unconventional ingredients. IBC’s recent releases have received several accolades at beer competitions, and the brewery is now releasing its Variance IpA series, in which a new style of IpA is introduced every 10 weeks.

It’s a Gift That Gives Both Ways Consider a Gift Annuity

What do you do in your free time? I hang out with my grandfather. He is 94 years old and I have learned a lot from him— about character and commitment. He keeps me on my toes! I also volunteer at the Boys & Girls Club. What motto do you try to live by? Live in the moment. Don’t look too far ahead, because after all that planning, things may happen to change it all anyway. Kim Drain moved with her family from San Francisco to Carpinteria 10 years ago. Since then, she has been intrigued by the small town charm of Carpinteria. She loves to uncover the hidden gems here, such as the people, whose lives and jobs intersect to make this community thrive.

Orchard to Ocean raises funds for local schools Photos by Garrett Combs

Several hundred runners gathered for their own personal health and the wellbeing of Carpinteria classrooms at the Orchard to Ocean run, a benefit for Carpinteria Education Foundation, on March 15. Sunny skies lit the bluffs 10k and 5k courses that saw local triathlete Matt Organista own the competition. He ran a 33:33 10k, better than two minutes ahead of second-place John Lofthus of Goleta. Fellow Carpinterian Aaron Gillen finished fourth in the 10k in 35:38. Local runner Andrew Robbins, a 17-year-old Cate School student, finished sixth overall (36:39) and first in the 16 to 19 age group. Victor Centina finished 11th overall (39:15) and first in the 45-to-49 age group. Mariann Thomas (41:29) finished 23rd overall and first among Carpinteria women and women ages 50-to-54. Representing Carpinteria in the 5k, Robbins, who also ran the 10k, topped local finishers in 18:38 for ninth overall. Also double-dipping, Centina finished eighth in 19:54 and first in his age group. Edwin Elizarraraz finished in ninth (19:57) for second in the 16-to-19 category. Among Carpinteria women, Tara Gay crossed the finish line first (23:44) for 35th overall and second in the 40-to-44 age group. Michele Banks of Carpinteria won the women’s 35-to-39 race in 25:24.

Amrit Joy’s Hints for Healthy & Happy Living Open to the universe

Sit up nice and straight. Imagine an invisible gold thread coming out of the top of your head, gently lifting you. Bring your arms out extended from the sides of your body, as if you are making a “V.” The palms face upwards with all the ﬁngers together, including the thumbs. If the straight arms are not comfortable, just bring the elbows close to the body and still allow the hands to face upwards. Do long deep breathing as you allow yourself to open up the universe. Let the greater plan unfold. Surrender to the Higher Power. The mind will begin to quiet as you deep breathe. You are now opening up to love, kindness, sweetness, compassion, peace, serenity, healing and the perfect plan for you. As you do this, allow yourself to become freer, happier, more relaxed. Just a few minutes can help you to shift your energy and receive the blessing of serenity and gratitude from the universe. Now just drop your arms and relax deeply. Amrit Joy is a certiﬁed Hatha and Kundalini Yoga instructor. She has been practicing and teaching yoga since 1976. Amrit offers ongoing group yoga classes open to all levels here in Carpinteria. Private instruction in yoga and meditation is also available by appointment. For more information, call Amrit Joy at 745-1707 or visit www.amritjoy.com.

Spring into action for the health of it! ALI JAVANBAKHT, MD Spring is in the air. The signs are all around us: the sun carves a higher arc across the sky, cats in heat make that incredibly human-baby-like sound, and the small print under March 20 on the calendar reads, “vernal equinox.” An “equinox” is when the sun passes over the intersection of the ecliptic and celestial equators. We get two of them a year. One marks the beginning of spring and the other the beginning of fall. This is not to be confused with “Hardnox,” which is where all the gold in the country is kept. Naturally, it is heavily fortiﬁed. In fact, the name comes from the action needed to get anyone’s attention in that place. The place where people get trained to watch over all the gold in the country is called “the School of Hardnox.” But I digress. As the days get longer (thanks in part to the new-and-improved-three-weeksearlier Daylight Savings Time), people spend more time outdoors admiring nature in bloom, the turning of the seasons, and the rebirth of various animals. But nature also has its naughty side. Yes, it beckons us with fragrances and colors but pokes us with thorns and makes us itch with poison oak. Most people know that poison oak has “leaves of three” and therefore it is wise to “leave them be” (to which the great philosopher Homer (Simpson) replied, “Leaves of four, eat some more.”) Most people also have their own recipe for dealing with potential exposure to poison oak. Some take a cold shower right afterwards. Some scrub with Ajax. Personally, I like to indulge in a big bowl of chocolate ice cream. After all, if I’m going to itch, I might as well enjoy things while I can. What makes poison oak “poisonous” is the oil. When the plant’s oil gets on the skin, it starts an allergic reaction. But this is not a typical allergic reaction; it’s a delayed one, meaning that the reaction doesn’t start until a day or two after exposure. It’s not unlike that incredibly witty comeback one thinks of two days after someone has made a snide remark at a dinner party. Some people are more sensitive to this oil than others. There are tales of brave souls who have rolled around in poison oak trying to prove that they’re “immune” to it, which turns out to be a good example of “famous last words.” That’s where nature is its trickiest: the more someone is exposed to something, the more allergic they can become that substance. In other words, every repeated exposure to poison oak can bring about a stronger reaction.

Washing the skin as soon as possible after exposure can help minimize the reaction. Once the oil is washed off, it can no longer spread. However, since it is a delayed reaction, new spots can appear over time. Poison oak rash tends to consist of itchy red lines on the exposed areas of the skin. Sometimes blisters develop. The fluid in these blisters is what the body has made as a result of the allergic reaction. Since the body makes this fluid, it has no poison oak in it and thus is incapable of spreading the rash. Typically, medical intervention is needed for a poison oak rash to go away. For small patches of relatively mild reaction, a prescription steroid cream can help. For stronger or more widespread reactions, steroid pills can be helpful. As with most things, 30 ml of prevention is worth 0.45 kg of cure. So wearing long sleeved shirts and pants and avoiding contact with suspicious plants is helpful. So let’s enjoy this spectacular display that nature has put on for us. Let’s spring like a spring over a spring in spring, all the while keeping a respectable distance from the surrounding foliage. Enjoying nature is like petting a cat: pet the soft furry side, beware the sharp, clawy side. (Author’s note: cats in heat should be considered sharp and clawy all around.)

NEXT WEEK: Cate School kicks off spring seasons

A little help from Gene Saito

Coastal View News has endeavored to bring the largely behind-the-scenes assistant coaches on the fields and courts at local schools to the forefront. This week we catch up with Gene Saito, who has overseen two CIF championship teams and two CIF winning individuals in the pole vault. He has coached his daughters Natalie and Erin on the tennis sidelines for the past five seasons. Q. How long have you been coaching? My first coaching position was coaching polevaulting at CHS around 1998 to 2000. I then started helping with the CHS girls tennis program for the last five years. Q. Other than winning ball games, what makes for a rewarding coaching experience? A rewarding experience occurs when student-athletes start reaching their full potential and perform better than they ever imagined. Q. At what level did you last play the sport you coach? I never really played tennis before, just picked it up five years ago to help with the girls JV and varsity tennis as needed. Q. What is a highlight of your coaching career? Having coached a CIF Champion in the boys polevault, a CIF Champion in the girls pole-vault and now back to back CIF Champions with girls tennis, I cannot take any credit for the hard work and dedication that those individuals put into their sports. If I had to pick a highlight from coaching, it would be when the parents of an individual on the team take me aside and personally thank me for making a difference in their son or daughter’s life.

Boys volleyball

March 13 – Warrior boys volleyball lost a tight match at Malibu High School, 3-2 (18-25, 17-25, 28-26, 25-17, 15-11). The Warriors were led by Mason Picerni with a game high 11 kills and three blocks. Giovanni Rodriquez had eight kills, and Jesus Ortega had a personal best 31 assists. Coach Marc Denitz also commended the strong passing and digging of Victor Garcia and Eduardo Tofoya.

Carpinteria High School

March 15 – Warrior boys volleyball had a tough run at the laguna Blanca Tournament, losing all seven of its games. Ontarion Christian, Viewpoint, Beverly Hills and Salesian all dispatched the outgunned Warriors. “We got some valuable experience, both in playing and watching,” coach Marc Denitz commented.

March 13 – Six pitchers combined for a one-hit shutout as Warrior baseball picked up a 7-0 home victory over a talented Dunn School squad. Kevin Stein and Mo Sanchez led the offense, both going 3-for-3 at the plate. Stein had a homerun, double, two runs and four RBI. Sanchez had a double, two runs and an RBI. Sanchez, a senior right hander, was credited with the win for tossing the opening two frames. The Warrior staff took a no hitter into the seventh. David Martinez struck out the side in the fifth, and Sal Delgado pitched a one-two-three third inning. Both are right handed freshmen. “Today’s win started on the mound as the pitchers set the tone early. When Sanchez doubled with two strikes and then Stein knocked him in with two outs, you could feel the confidence build. The group played well,” commented coach Pat Cooney.

Swimming

March 15 – Warrior baseball dropped two games by large margins in a doubleheader at Cabrillo High School. Cabrillo won game one 13-2 and game two 14-4 behind 26 hits and two solid pitching performances. “The good news for the Warriors was that they played well in the beginning of the day and well at the end. The middle was negative,” coach Pat Cooney commented. Kevin Stein and Javier Jasso each had three hits. Pitcher Mo Sanchez gave up seven hits and four runs, two earned, in four innings in game one for the loss. The Warriors, 1-4, play next on Saturday, March 22, at 3 p.m. at CHS’s John Calderwood Field.

Representative Lois Capps’ office is seeking entries for the 2014 annual Congressional Art competition. All high school students in the 24th Congressional District can enter to have their winning work of art hang for one year in the U.S. Capitol, where thousands of visitors will see it. “This annual competition is a wonderful opportunity to support young artists across the nation,” Capps said. The completed work must be submitted by a high school student in California’s 24th Congressional District to one of Capps’ local offices no later than 5 p.m., Friday, April 18. The winning student will receive two roundtrip tickets for a ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception for the new display in June 2014.

The recent Talent Show at howard School demonstrated that the small school has big talent. From magicians to musicians, acts ran the gamut. Student Lea Grandle reportedly has a knack for standing on her hands, and Daniella Terry demonstrated an authentic hula dance. Others did comedy routines, and the dancing chickens provided their own twist on talent.

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

Kids discuss drought Students at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School are up to date on the drought and many of the challenges that come with a third dry winter in California. Second-grade teacher Amanda McElfresh recently launched the school’s Writing Academy, an after-school offering that gives students opportunities to improve their writing skills and weigh in on important topics like the statewide drought. The class meets weekly for one hour and is available to grades first through fourth. CVN invited the young wordsmiths to share their ideas on the drought with readers. Enjoy. It is important to save water because if we didn’t we would all die. If we did save water we would all live and survive. We would give the plants water to drink. But if we didn’t, all the plants would die and we need plants because they give us food to live.

You can reduce water use by taking less showers and not taking so much water from Lake Cachuma because the drought might get worse. We can take shorter showers to save water too. - Isabel Arroyo, second grade

- Angelique huey, second grade It is hard to save water because you need it a lot; like for showers, drinking, washing your dishes, and ice for your freezer. - Sofia Prober, second grade It is important to save water because if we run out of water that would be terrible! It could also be bad because animals that live under water could die. Oh no! If we do not have enough water, we could die. We had a big storm this month! Hurray!

- Ava Shabestari, second grade

Lake Cachuma should be our last thought for water. As you know, we are in a drought. We should take care of the water we have. First we should take one shower a day. Lake Cachuma is almost gone! Stop using water from Lake Cachuma.

- Katlyn Jensen, fourth grade

the drought is not good at all. the animals will die and that is not good. It is not good for people either. the animals probably feel thirsty. the people probably feel thirsty too. - Liam regan, first grade

As you know, there is a massive drought going on. To help stop it, we must protect our lakes that provide water for us. We can also help stop it by using as little water as possible. We need to stop this drought because as most people know, it is essential for life. This drought needs to stop or we could have serious problems.

- Anna Braastad, fourth grade I have an idea about an invention that can save water. My idea is to have the amount of water you need to bathe. So once you use that water, it goes down a drain and then it is filtered. Then the water is reused for your next shower. This is a way to save water.

- Brett Persoon, third grade You can solve the drought problem by using the water that is already used. You can take two minute showers and you can stop wasting water. You can save water by turning off the water when you wash a dish or brush your teeth. You can also put less water in your bath tub. - grayson Macleod, third grade

We need to stop using all of this water. As you know, we are in a drought, so we should stop using water. Did you know when you flush the toilet, you are wasting six gallons of water? A five-minute shower wastes more than twenty gallons of water. We should take less showers and baths. When we take a shower, it should be as short as possible. When we take baths, we should not put that much water in it. We should not drink that much water either. Although I am not saying you shouldn’t drink barely any water. We should tell everyone to not waste water!

- Caitlin hubbs, fourth grade

Did you know that California is in a drought? We are wasting water so we need to save it. I think it is important to save water because water is a resource. A way we can save it is by taking shorter showers, not leaving the water running, and turn off our sprinklers. This is how you can save water during a drought.

- Ava Prober, third grade A kind of invention to help with the drought is to have a bottle underground. It helps by staying underground. It is one hundred feet long and it’s full of water and if there’s a drought, then it will give the land water. the bottle is metal so no one would take any. - Emma Wessel, second grade

It is important to save water because we would die without it. We also would be very smelly because we wouldn’t be able to take showers. We would also be very thirsty. We also could not wash our hands without water.

I can help the drought by using less water. I won’t drink too much water. I won’t take too many showers. I won’t use the sink that much.

- danica damiani, second grade

- Aidan Naber, first grade

The Santa Barbara drought is affecting animals by not having food or water for the animals. Also, it is affecting us by animals dying and that means no food for us. Animals are very important, especially bees because they pollinate our plants. It is also important to save animals because they can be our only friends. It’s so important to save water to help the animals.

- Luis huerta, fourth grade The drought is affecting wild animals because if they don’t get water the more likely there’s a chance they’ll become extinct. The really rare animals will be gone, so please try to save water because that will make animals very happy and they’ll live longer. Many animals like deer, fox, and rabbits will be gone. When the animals are gone like the pigs, there will be no bacon. The animals we eat will no longer be there. So please try to save water for all of us and the animals.

- Natasha huey, third grade

how are plants affected by the drought? Well, they’re probably dying. Without water, their roots will die. If the roots are dying then the plants are dying. Plus, if plants die, that would be bad because we need them for stuff. But it is a good thing that it rained a lot. - gabriela ochoa Medieros, second grade

If I were to make an invention, it would be a water machine. It would stop the drought. We would have more water.

- Elijah dunn, first grade I can solve droughts by making a machine that stops droughts. I can help by saving water. I think we should filter out ocean water. don’t waste water or leave the water on. - Ben Segal, second grade

If I could make an invention to stop the drought, I would make a special thing that can contract water. This is how it works: you basically just throw a little marble into the clouds. Then the marble is actually electric. Then you will get a big jar of water right under where you throw the marble and then it will rain and all of the rivers will be full. I think that my invention will help the drought.

- Alexia horton, first grade

It is hard to save water because we need showers and baths. Everyone has to drink water to survive. When kids flush the toilet a bunch of times, they are wasting water. Do not waste water and do not throw it out.

- Kevin Allison, second grade I can reduce water by not taking long baths. I can give water that I drink to the plants. I can drink water but not waste it. We need to stop wasting water. That is how we can save water.

- Emma Coglizer, third grade

I save water by turning off the water while I brush my teeth. I can also take a shorter shower. We cannot wash our cars. We can also not water our grass. Saving water is cool! - Sophia regan, first grade I will save water when I get a glass of water and drink it all. I will only get water when I need it. I know that there is a drought now.

- Sadie Coglizer, first grade

CVN hits new low

Herbert and Suzanne DeFriez carried Coastal View News below the 60th Parallel. The adventurers ﬁrst touched down in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Jan. 31 and toured other points south before embarking on the Cal Discoveries Travel series cruise on the M.S. L’Austral to Antarctica. The travelers cruised to unique, pristine and icy stops on the Antarctic Peninsula, where they viewed wild animals in their habitat. Penguins, humpback whales and leopard seals are among the animals that call Antarctica home. The DeFriezes took the opportunity to head south because Herbert turns 70 this year, and they fear that climate change will cause Antarctica to close to tourists in the near future.

Travelers pay tribute to Cape Horn’s victims

Jim Sandison, Peter Nichols and Steve Bliss traveled to the tip of South America on a two-week trip for the three old sailors. They whipped out their CVN on Horn Island at the base of a steel monument with a silhouette of an albatross representing the 7,000 sailors who perished trying to round Cape Horn between 1650 and 1914, prior to the opening of the Panama Canal. The travelers also cruised to the fjords of the Straits of Magellan, Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia. “The trip took two weeks and for three old sailors we told lots of lies and had a lot more fun,” commented the travelers.

Visitors

260 80+ High Pup Count

Over 1,703 people came to view the seals. Volunteers noted origins including China, Finland, Mexico, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, Iowa, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Arizona, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Hawaii, Wisconsin, Washington, Kansas, Louisiana, Oregon, Colorado, Oklahoma, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Vermont, Alaska and Utah. Groups included a couple of schools and staff from EDC.

Disturbances

There were two instances of oil workers scaring the seals by deliberately approaching too closely at the pier end turnaround, two disturbances from pier activity, one by a helicopter and a major disturbance caused by a kayaker entering the rookery area.

Natural History Notes

Harbor seals do not migrate, but remain in a local area. Carpinteria harbor seals may stay within about a 50 to 100 mile radius. Elephant seals migrate thousands of miles to the north twice annually, and male California sea lions typically migrate north after breeding, ranging as far as British Columbia.

More Info

The Carpinteria harbor seal rookery is located immediately east of Casitas Pier, between the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve and Carpinteria State Beach. Please remember not to bring dogs, bicycles or loud voices to view the seals. Harbor seals, when disturbed, may ﬂee and become separated from their pups. Volunteers ask that dogs remain outside the rope area at all times. Call 684-2247 or email CarpSealWatch@gmail.com if you are interested in volunteering.
