LETTERS “The moment this developer pours the first slab of concrete on this land, we have lost this space forever.”
–– Julia Mayer
Protect Carpinteria Bluffs from hotel developers
I want to make sure that my fellow Carpinteria residents are aware of the revised hotel plans that were recently submitted to the city for the “Carpinteria Farm, Hospitality & Residential Project.” You can review the massive project’s proposal at city hall. Considering these new plans, I offer this quote from Carpinteria’s General and Local Coastal Plan: “The Carpinteria Bluffs are a key community gateway to both Carpinteria and the county, as well as a critical factor in the overall character of the city (…) lt has long been a community goal to avoid piecemeal development of the bluffs, and to ensure that future developments within the bluffs area complement each other.” This development is not in line with the needs or wants of this community: a hotel and residential sites in native open space will not complement our coastline or the bluffs we have already protected. No matter how greenwashed – or perhaps “farm-washed” – the language, this is still a massive development in the heart of our bluffs. The moment this developer pours the first slab of concrete on this land, we have lost this space forever. What sets Carpinteria apart from nearly every single one of our coastal California cities is our drive and action to
protect our coastal land. The fact that the Carpinteria bluffs are, in the city’s own general plan’s words, the last remaining coastal open space within Santa Barbara County, should be the only sentence needed to stop this development from moving forward. The moment this land is developed, it is gone forever. We will never get the opportunity to get it back. The severity and finality of that will make your heart break. Remember, if we are lucky enough to live here, it is our responsibility to protect this land.

E-bikes should be better regulated
Hey boys and girls, want to ride around on your own motorcycle? Ask mom and dad to buy you one of those full throttle electric bikes! You can go up to 20 mph without pedaling, no license or age requirements needed. Worried about crashing? If you want you could wear a plastic bicycle helmet. Isn’t it time for new municipal codes or legislation to address the proliferation of these powerful electric bikes in the hands of children and teens?

SCHOOL BOARD School trustees hear from Canalino, Family School student council and robotics club
Thursday, October 19, 2023 5
Coastal View News • Tel: (805) 684-4428
BY JUN STARKEY
The Carpinteria Unified School District Board of Trustees heard several presentations at its Tuesday, Oct. 10 meeting, including a report from members of the Canalino Elementary and Carpinteria Family School Student Council, an update on Canalino’s robotics program, and an end-of-the-year recap from Attitude Harmony Achievement (AHA!). Canalino school counselor Shanna Hargett, who oversees the student council, presented alongside 10 council members. Hargett broke down the makeup of the council, how presidents and vice presidents are elected and what the council does throughout the school year. The Canalino and Carpinteria Family School student council is made up of fourth and fifth grade students, made up of two class representatives from each fourth and fifth grade class, and a president and vice president representing both grade levels. The council meets bi-weekly, organizes fundraisers and oversees regular events throughout the year, such as book exchanges, student stores for holidays, recess tournaments, math nights and spirit week. During the most recent election, Hargett said, there were seven candidates for vice president and 11 candidates for president. Student candidates were required to create a campaign poster and write a speech, and after presenting their speeches, the rest of the student body voted through an online ballot. “I visited their classes and announced the winners on Monday, so that was exciting,” Hargett said. The council also organizes monthly sports tournaments, and last year helped collect materials and compose Art for the Sky with artist Daniel Dancer, where students stood together to make the shape of a breaching whale for a photograph taken from a crane.
GATE robotics club constructs racing robots
Crystal Marshall, a Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) teacher at Canalino who also instructs the after-school robotics club, updated the CUSD School Board on the club. She discussed students’ activities this year and gave a breakdown of students in the club. The robotics club has 17 students this year who usually work in teams of three, Marshall reported, with 10 girls and seven boys. Of those students, 14 are English-only speakers, and three are emerging English speakers. Students are invited to the club through the GATE program, including those designated as GATE students and those nominated for testing the previous year.
For the record...
In CVN Vol. 30, No. 4, this was the second year the Carpinteria Community Library entered into an agreement with the county; the Santa Paula Public Library is the Blanchard Public Library; and the sharing items listed reflect September 2023 numbers.
“When I got invited to this club, I didn’t really know how to feel because I had no idea what it was gonna be like … I’m looking forward to racing our robots.”
–– student Elias Fiore Palm fall and spring semesters, and at CMS, 83 students were served during the same time period. More than 400 students and teachers throughout the district participated in hero assemblies, 28 parents were provided information during parent groups and 45 educators at CMS participated in educator workshops.

Students work in groups twice a week on constructing devices, such as robots. For the past three weeks, Marshall said, students have worked together to construct a robot, which included timed trial runs and modifications if a robot wasn’t working properly. The class also looks at vocabulary, encourages learning from mistakes and encourages students to examine the people who currently make up the robotics and science fields. A few students from the club spoke during Tuesday’s meeting. “When I got invited to this club, I didn’t really know how to feel because I had no idea what it was gonna be like,” said student Elias Fiore Palm. “So far, we have learned how to pair controllers with robots… I’m looking forward to racing our robots.”
End of the year presentation from AHA!
AHA!, a non-profit that partners with school districts to provide social and emo-
tional learning guidelines to students and educators, provided an end-of-the-year wrap-up to the district’s school board, which included the number of students served, the outcome of in-class councils and feedback from students and teachers. AHA! conducts several programs to educate teachers and students on social and emotional learning, including peacebuilders, where students attend after-school group discussions; in-school and after-school programs, with AHA! facilitators working with students through various topics such as stereotypes, bullying and emotion management; in-class councils, with groups of up to 15 students sharing their feelings with a facilitator in a non-judgmental space; hero assemblies, which include watching videos and having students speak together in a group; parent groups; and educator workshops. Programs were available at Carpinteria Middle School (CMS) and Carpinteria High School (CHS). At CHS, the in-school program served 166 students during the

Mac Brown 09/17/1951 – 10/05/2023
Mac Loren Brown was born in Wichita, Kansas, on Sept. 17, 1951, to Ralph and Betty Brown. Mac stopped suffering from Glioblastoma on Oct. 5, 2023, at 72 years old. At the time of his passing, he was at his home, surrounded by family; the sunset was spectacular, his grandchildren were laughing and screaming with joy in the background, a plane was circling overhead and his wife and children were growing closer and closer together, tightly embracing with tears that were obviously brought on by a simultaneous acute allergic reaction. Mac Brown is survived by you, the wonderfully tightly-knit community known as Carpinteria. He made bonds with people all over the area as he was

always striving to do his best with his “make the client happy” attitude. Never compromising on any project or cutting any corners, he was always there for anyone who needed a smiling face, a hearty laugh and a bulldozer. There is more than one restaurant in the area with drinks named after him. He was Honorary Chair of the Avocado Festival in 2010. No matter where Mac traveled, he always loved Carpinteria best. Mac Brown is survived by his closest friends (too many to name) with whom he would enjoy many different activities: flying airplanes, big parties, weekend tractor work, small parties, water skiing, medium parties, shooting guns, impromptu parties, watching NASCAR and quiet dinner parties. Mac Brown is survived by his company, Mac Brown Excavating. His employees were not just employees – he treated them as family, with love and respect. He was always there to help them and encouraged them to grow. Mac Brown is survived by his mother, Betty (96), and his two sisters and their families: Mary-Louise (Richard), with children Laura (Tom) and Rick (Casey); and sister Elizabeth (Robbie), with children Thomas (Carly), Nick (Kelsey) and Heidi. He was always loving and helping with anything he could. Most every weekend you would find Mac sitting on his mom’s deck with her and his sisters, catching up on current family events and staring out at the sea watching the boats go by in anticipation of the next beautiful sunset. Mac Brown met Debbie and her two kids Frank (Kristin) and Mike (Jessica) in 1977 and they have been inseparable ever since. Married over the phone, Mac and Debbie lived life to the fullest and two more children were brought into this world, Melissa (Rob) and Will (Sarah). Mac was a loving husband who bent over backwards (and forwards) for his wife and children. Mac is also survived by his grandchildren: Zach (20), Kate (18), Sierra (15), Amelia (12), Luke (10), Reese (9), Mac (8), Brooke (7) and Jake (6). A Celebration of Life will be held at Lions Club Park, Oct. 22, 2023, 1–4 p.m.

Sylvia Medel-Sturgis 04/21/1948 – 10/02/2023
It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of our beloved Sylvia. The firstborn child of Albert and Carmen Medel, Sylvia, along with her six siblings, was raised in the Carpinteria foothills and graduated from Carpinteria High School in 1966. Putting herself through beauty school, she became a hairdresser and held a career for many years. She married Ronald Sturgis and together they raised their four children. They moved to Paso Robles and later returned to the beaches of Carpinteria, where Sylvia greeted and fed many Carpinteria students as a “cafeteria lady.” Some of our family’s fondest memories were spent at the beach from sunup to sundown, backyard cookouts, walking to Carp Point at sunset and dancing on the sand. Retiring from CUSD in 2017, she and Ronn moved to Oregon to be closer to their three children. Sylvia was best known for her generosity, radiant smile, sense of style, delicious cooking, beautiful gardens and dancing at any given opportunity... even if it meant dancing with a doorknob! Her deep faith in Jesus gave her strength, peace and comfort as she courageously fought these last few years. Her fun-loving personality made it easy to adore her and impossible to forget her. She has left an indelible imprint on those she loved, and she will be greatly missed by many. She is survived by her husband of 49 years, Ronn, and their children Kristi Siroshton (Jim), Matthew (Brenda), Renee Faoro (Geoff) and Angela Villa (Rob). Her 10 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren were her pride and joy. She is also survived by her siblings, Ben (Heidi), Len (Pam), Katheryn Boisen (Kent), Gogi Burquez (Tony), Terri Medel (Marty) and Andi Duffield (Mike). Sylvia was so very special to her beloved nieces and nephews, and was like a mother, and later, a Nana to them all. Sylvia also leaves behind numerous treasured cousins and friends, near and far. Heaven opened its gates to welcome another angel, our angel, who will forever be in our hearts. Vaya con Dios, Beautiful Soul. Until we’re together again. A Celebration of Life will be held next summer, July 6, in Carpinteria. ADVERTISEMENT

Tyson Willson Jr. 06/26/1930 – 09/17/2023
Tyson Willson Jr., a dedicated educator, esteemed veteran and influential community leader, passed away at his home on Sept. 17, 2023, after a brief illness. He was born in Hanover, New Hampshire, to Tyson and Dorothy Olsen Willson. He later attended Carlsbad Military Academy and UC Santa Barbara, where he pursued his passion for education. During the Korean War, Tyson served with distinction, exemplifying commitment to his country. He retired as a colonel in the Army Reserves. Following his military service, he channeled his passion for education into a lifelong mission to nurture and develop the youth of Carpinteria. For over three decades, Tyson held various vital roles in the community, serving as a basketball and baseball coach, a teacher and counselor, and for an impressive 30 years, as principal at Carpinteria Middle School. Tyson’s dedication to education culminated in the attainment of his master’s degree. He believed that every child held a world of potential, and he worked tirelessly to provide them with the tools and guidance they needed to thrive. In 1956, while he was a lifeguard at Carpinteria Beach, Tyson met the love of his life, Betty. They were married in 1961. Alongside former Carpinteria school superintendent Bill Carty, Tyson co-founded the Carpinteria Education Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing education in the area. This endeavor was a testament to Tyson’s unwavering commitment to the betterment of education for the community he held dear. In 1983, he was honored as Carpinterian of the Year. Tyson’s infectious smile and legendary love for practical jokes brought joy to all who knew him. His ability to make people laugh was a testament to his warm heart and playful spirit. Tyson was a long-time member of the Lion’s Club of Carpinteria and spent 20 years on the School Board, contributing his expertise and passion for education to further the growth of the community. Tyson’s dedication to public safety extended to his role as president of the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Department. Tyson is survived by his wife Betty, sons Scott, Tyler (daughter-in-law Mia, grandchildren Tyson and Mylie) and Tyson (daughter-in-law Linda and grandsons Scott, Kyle and Sean), and sister Dorothy Willson Leftwich. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Carpinteria Education Foundation (pam@carpedfoundation.org; PO Box 9, Carpinteria 93014) and to the Lion’s Club of Carpinteria. A memorial service to celebrate Tyson’s life will be held at Lion’s Park on Nov. 18, 1–5 p.m. Tyson Willson Jr. will be fondly remembered for his unwavering commitment to education, his love for his community and the positive impact he had on countless lives. He will also be remembered as an amazing, loving and committed “Grampy.”

From engineering to agriculture, CHS offers hands-on programs for student success BY AMY MARIE OROZCO Next time you overhear a pack of old-timers talk about how watered-down education is for today’s kids, ask them what grade they got in robotics or whether they found coding difficult when they were in high school. Carpinteria High School (CHS) students have access to such classes, thanks to Career Technical Education (CTE), a national program featuring academic and technical skills, knowledge and training for success. The Carpinteria Education Foundation helps fund the CTE program and will hold its annual fundraiser Carp-a-Caboona to celebrate Career Technical Education on Oct. 21, 5–9 p.m., at Carpinteria High School. The CTE program is segmented into pathways, some of which include Agriculture Mechanics, Agriculture Science, Engineering & Design/Warrior Workshop and Robotics/Information Technology. (The other two pathways at CHS, Culinary Arts, and Multimedia, were covered in a previous article: CVN Vol. 30 No. 4, “CEF provides recipe to career success for students.”)
Engineering & Design/ Warrior Workshop
Students in Engineering & Design courses are thinking about careers in manufacturing, mechanical engineering, industrial design and entrepreneurship, according to instructor Kurt Miller, who holds CTE certification in manufacturing and product development. “Right now I have 41 students spread across three class periods. I expect this number to grow as students start to understand how the class operates.” New to CHS this academic year, Miller taught at Foothill Technology High School in Ventura for 11 years and created a CTE academy there called DTech, which focused on designing, building and selling consumer products. His vision is to create the Warrior Workshop and grow it into a premiere CTE program that will attract students throughout the area to the Carpinteria Unified School District. “The Warrior Workshop is the physical location where my Intro to Engineering and Advanced Engineering courses are taught. I also see the Warrior Workshop as a way to brand my classes in a way that is more approachable and intriguing to students,” Miller explained. “Engineering can sound scary to students even though everyone is capable of doing engineering work. I focus on learning by making stuff, hence the workshop naming.” Miller observes that the students appreciate having a period where most of the action/thinking happens either in their head, with their hands or on machines. In contrast, he adds, “Many courses require the teacher to do most of the thinking and simply convey information to the students. In the Warrior Workshop, failure (as long as it is a safe failure) is just one step on the road of iteration and learning from your mistakes – it is part of the design thinking and engineering process.”
Robotics
George Cadiente teaches Computer Science and Robotics at CHS. This year there is only one robotics course with about 12 students enrolled; another dozen attend the afterschool program. There are plans for an intro and advanced robotics classes next year, according to Cadiente. “Most students come to robotics with the intention of making a ‘cool looking’ robot and not really understanding the competition side of the class and program,” he explained. “Once they under-

stand the competition, students really just want to design and build to meet the requirement of the game obstacles.” Careers in robotics are plentiful, with most robotic engineers going to work in offices, manufacturing plants, laboratories and classrooms. Not only does Cadiente hold a Master of Education in Secondary Mathematics and is currently working on CTE certification in robotics, but he is also certified to teach computer science and geosciences. “I really love to teach computer science and robotics because of the creativity. The sky is the limit with imagination and creativity. I love science,” he said.
Agriculture Mechanics
Students in Salvador Lopez’s Ag Mechanics class learn various different trade skills found inside and outside the agriculture industry. “Overall, it is a course that prepares students for college or career readiness,” said the instructor, who holds a master’s degree in agriculture education in addition to his teaching credential. He teaches three periods of Ag Mechanics to approximately 80 students. “Although Agriculture is the title of the class, we use agriculture as the platform to teach students these skills, not necessarily just to get them into the agriculture industry.” According to Lopez, students start the academic year learning various knots, followed by Shop and Industry Safety. Third is the Electrical Unit and the basics of Residential Electrical. In the Wood Working unit, students learn the ABCs of carpentry, how to use power tools and how to build a car out of 2x4. Plumbing – and building irrigation systems with PVC, copper and steel pipes – kicks off the second semester. Then, Tractor and Equipment Operations rolls into the curriculum. “Students learn how to drive tractors,
utilize implements for production, and they even learn how to back a trailer!” reported Lopez. “If we ever get a business to let us borrow equipment, students also learn how to use excavators and forklifts, which are also great industry skills.” Next is Small Engines, with engine theory and anatomy of a small engine. Last is welding and most students love the welding unit the most. Due to the limited machinery available in the shop, the only hands-on learning is Stick Welding. Students enjoy learning tangible skills that they can actually use in life, and they especially love using their hands, Lopez said. “I can teach students all sorts of skills, but it means nothing if they don’t know where to go with it. Many students realize they want to become electricians, mechanics, welders or civil and mechanical engineers in my classroom.”
Agriculture Science
Not surprisingly, given Carpinteria’s long agricultural history, 200 students are enrolled in the CHS Ag program. Ag Chemistry teacher Noe Gomez noted, “Agriculture is the first scientific discipline that ever arose. At some point, someone had to survive. To survive, basic needs had to be met. As a result, someone had to develop a plan for this survival, and thus plan out the procurement of food and shelter; this most certainly involved developing a hypothesis, making a plan, etc. Science!” A central theme in Ag Science is understanding what is needed to feed and clothe our developing globe, according to Gomez. Ag, though, is not limited to animals and plants. Many students in the program pursue disciplines such as Ag business or animal science. Many others translate their skills to other disciplines in science such as nursing, forensic science, nutrition or developmental biology.
Dillan Scott works on a project during Kurt Miller’s Engineering & Design Warrior Workshop. In her first year at CHS, Emily Garcia teaches Intro to Ag to 23 eighth-graders, Soil Science to 60 students, and Vet/Animal Science to 60 students. “In these courses, my students learn about California Agriculture, the industries to livestock, vet practices, the importance to ag and keeping it sustainable,” reported the Fresno State graduate who is working on her master’s degree from Cal Poly SLO. “So far, I feel the students enjoy the hands-on components of my classes. I try to have labs either weekly or bi-weekly for the students. They seem very interested in going into the livestock industry for either management or to be a vet. Along with that, I get a lot of questions about how our local producers and farms operate.” CTE instructors will give a short presentation on their courses at Carp-a-Caboona on Oct. 21.

I first became interested in the connection between mental and physical health while in graduate school. I read a few books that opened class dialogues on how we store emotions in our bodies in various ways. Since then, there has been an increasing amount of research and information on the relationship between the two, which I have continued to explore in addition to various holistic approaches to them. This article is a brief look at the connections between mental health and physical health. In a future article, I will discuss the topic more in detail, including what I first learned about in graduate school. I also will share ideas to help utilize the relationship to bring about optimal health both mental and physical, as well as spiritual. Most people are aware that stress can affect our physical health. Chronic stress triggers the release of cortisol, otherwise known as the stress hormone. When cortisol is elevated for extended periods of time, it can have adverse effects on our health. These include cardiovascular disease, overall immune function, high blood pressure and a higher risk of cancer. It also makes us more susceptible to colds and infections. Chronic stress is linked to high inflammation, which leads to a whole host of chronic health issues including Alzheimer’s, arthritis and a variety of infectious diseases. Research has shown that people with depression often have increased levels of inflammation in their blood. Other health issues that are at higher risk because of chronic inflammation include diabetes, obesity and heart disease. Depression has also been linked to a higher risk of premature death. A few reasons for this include higher suicide rates, poor adherence to medical treatments and the overall physical impact of prolonged mental distress. Mental health can also affect our lifestyle choices. People with elevated levels of stress or depression have been shown to be more likely to engage in unhealthy habits like smoking, overdrinking and overeating, which all can negatively affect physical health. Anxiety disorders affect around 20% of the population in the United States. There is a great deal of research linking anxiety disorders to gastrointestinal issues such as IBS. It will also affect heart health. Asthma is worsened by anxiety and long bouts of asthma can make the anxiety worse as well. Additionally, people with anxiety as well as depression may experience more constant and acute pain than those who do not have these mental health conditions. Sleep disorders lead to many physical health problems such as hypertension, diabetes and obesity; sleep will affect our hormones, which affects our appetite and metabolism which contributes to weight gain. Sleep disorders are also worsened ADVERTISING by things such as anxiety and depression. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES I discussed sleep hygiene in last month’s CVN article (CVN Vol. 30, No. 1, “The importance of sleep hygiene on health”) ADVERTISING if you would like more information.

Chronic stress triggers the release of cortisol, otherwise known as the stress hormone. When cortisol is elevated for extended periods of time, it can have adverse effects on our health.
Some more well-known ways to affect our mental and physical health include exercise and nutrition. It is no surprise that regular exercise is beneficial not only for our physical health, but also for our mental health. It releases endorphins which are a natural mood booster. It can also help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. There are some types of exercise that also offer more connections to mental health, such as yoga; exercise such as aerobic types like running, swimming, dancing have been found to lift spirits as well. As with any new activity, make sure to discuss these with a medical professional, as some of them may be contraindicated for certain medical conditions. There is so much to say around nutrition for both mental and physical health. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to boost brain health and reduce the risk of depression. Vitamin D deficiency, as I have mentioned in previous articles, can impact mental health as well, as people with Vitamin D deficiency exhibit depressive symptoms. For more information on nutrition, I encourage you to reach out to a holistic professional who can look at the entire person, including mental and physical health. The connection between mental and physical health is an intriguing one to delve into. I would encourage anyone who is interested in improving mental or physical health to read, converse and get curious. Start with simple activities such as improving your eating/drinking, getting some exercise or meditating and consider meeting with a therapist who is versed in these subjects. As always, feel free to reach out with any questions or suggestions. “There is increasing evidence that cultivating positive mental states like kindness and compassion definitely leads to better psychological health and happiness.” – Dalai Lama Vickie Gonzalez has been licensed for almost 20 years as an LMFT and currently provides counseling, coaching and consulting services.

Chiropractic wellness center opens on Eugenia Place BY JUN STARKEY

From left, Dr. McKenzie Cervini and Dr. Jude Hockel are the lead chiropractors at Seek Health, a chiropractic and wellness business that recently opened in downtown Carpinteria.
“We’re very big on patient education, we want to give (patients) the tools to take things into their own hands.” On the chiropractic side, Seek Health offers various tools for active release and adjustments, depending on each patient’s comfort. Each chiropractic office has a flexion-distraction table, which allows Cervini and Hockel to target specific areas of the body without putting much pressure on the rest of the patient’s body. This can be useful for younger and older patients, or those who are more fragile and would be uncomfortable with traditional adjustments and treatments, the pair said. They also offer scraping tools for the muscles, and activators, which are spring-loaded metal devices that gently activate muscles. Cervini and Hockel reiterated the importance of patient education, with Hockel calling their business a “catch and release,” to a certain degree. “We just want people to get better, and then send them on their way,” Cervini said. Seek Health will hold a grand opening, hosted by Cervini and Hockel, on Thursday, Oct. 19, 4–6 p.m., at its office at 1110 Eugenia Place.

Seek Health – a chiropractic office offering an array of wellness services as well as specialized care for sports injuries, pregnant women and infants – has opened in Carpinteria at 1110 Eugenia Place, Suite 200. The office is owned and operated by Dr. McKenzie Cervini; growing up, she spent many summers in Carpinteria, she told CVN. Originally from Canada, Cervini’s father owned a cucumber farm on Foothill Road, and she told CVN Carpinteria quickly became one of her favorite places to visit. “We always got the advice to work where you want to live,” Cervini said. Cervini, along with her partner and co-worker Dr. Jude Hockel – who recently moved to Carpinteria with Cervini from Denver, Colorado – work as chiropractors of the office. Cervini specializes in prenatal care, offering her chiropractic services to pregnant mothers and infants as young as 10 days old, while Hockel specializes in sports medicine. Cervini said a few Carpinteria athletes have become regular clients of Hockel. After opening around the beginning of July, Seek Health has garnered more than 130 clients. Cervini wanted to offer more than typical chiropractic services, enlisting a massage therapist and now a yoga instructor to offer hour-long classes twice a week. Seek Health also offers sessions in an infrared sauna, which heats up with infrared lights instead of external heat. The sauna’s purpose is to help sweat out toxins and relieve tension, and can be used by up to two clients for about 40 minutes. Seek Health offers options for those suffering from injuries and chronic pain, as well as those who are looking for professional help in keeping up their health. Cervini said she has had mothers come in with breech babies, seeking help in turning them around before giving birth. Other parents have brought their children in just to ensure they’re growing normally. “There was a need for an active healing space in Carpinteria,” Hockel said.

The power of inspiration
CVN
JOYFUL AGING
Ways to become inspired
L E S L I E SO KO L The word inspiration is derived from the Latin inspirare, which means “to breathe into.” The word also shares a connection with spirit, which comes from the Latin word for “breath,” spiritus, (which is also from spirare). When you are inspired, you are breathing life (i.e., passion, motivation or desire) into an idea. When you feel inspired, you might find yourself awakened to new possibilities and find ordinary experiences transcend into the extraordinary. You will become more engaged, confident and motivated to solve problems and find creative solutions. Inspiration can have a major effect on life and business outcomes, so it is important that you understand how to activate, capture and control feelings of inspiration as they come up in your life.
Inspiration through exercise
Exercise is an easy way to create feelings of inspiration within yourself. It’s not just about getting fit or looking good – exercise can also lead to courage, pleasure and better friendships. As you exercise, you are increasing the production of endorphins, serotonin and norepinephrine, which produce feelings of
than anything. You probably know that exercising and moving on a regular basis is good for you, but until you actually take action (by going for a walk, taking a dance class or swimming laps) you aren’t actually acting on that idea. When you only think about the things that inspire you, you are experiencing passive inspiration. In comparison, active inspiration motivates you to make changes and do something different.

These positive feelings carry you throughout the day and contribute to an overall uplift in every area of your life. As a dance instructor and wellness coach for seniors, I find inspiring others through the joy of exercise both satisfying and rewarding. I love to encourage my students during our workouts to tap into their inner confidence, boost their beliefs about themselves, and feel good, all while getting in shape and having fun! I always say, “It’s not always what you teach, but how you teach.” It is my job to motivate, encourage and educate my students about how much better they will feel as they become active. I love seeing my stu-
dents try their best and I appreciate their efforts to improve their health so they can live joy-filled lives every day.
Two types of inspiration
There are two types of inspiration: passive and active. Passive inspiration is what you might feel while you watch television, read an article or listen to an interview. Active inspiration is the act of creation, generating new ideas and enjoying feelings of long-term passion and enthusiasm. Passive inspiration can give you ideas, but active inspiration gives you momentum. Taking action will inspire you more
Be active and physical. This might mean participating in a dance or exercise class that forces you to learn new steps and routines. Challenge yourself, be creative, get in shape, be fit and have fun. Strike up a conversation. Being social and open-minded is important. Sharing your life experiences and listening to others tell their stories or ideas is definitely inspiring. New ideas can also be influenced by your social environment. Watch a movie, read a book or listen to music. All of these activities can inspire you and will bring out your creativity, imagination, thoughts and ideas. Your actions have the power to inspire you. The best inspiration comes from the application of ideas, not the consumption of them. Love life to the fullest and focus on the positive – that’s what the power of inspiration can do for all of us!

Summerland Elementary School students wrote Thank You notes, complete with drawings of tennis equipment and basketballs, for Nora McNeely Hurley from the Manitou Fund, who donated $1.3 million for the completion of the courts.

Carpinteria Beautiful names Bob Stokes volunteer of the year
Carpinteria Beautiful has named local Bob Stokes as its volunteer of the year, for his work forming a youth club at Carpinteria Middle School and his help in beautifying the school’s central courtyard. The CMS Youth Club’s first project was to refurbish and replant the large courtyard planters, with help from the after-school coordinator Jen Medina. Students were able to complete the task, with assistance from school maintenance personnel and donations from the Carpinteria Valley Lumber Garden Center. Stokes is now planning further enhancements, such as letting students paint murals outside the planters and replacing several trees. “He envisions the courtyard as a gathering place for students to enjoy their outdoor surroundings and to become more aware of the beauty in the city around them,” said Sally Galati, Carpinteria Beautiful’s vice president, in a press release.

“The Creator”
DUNCAN’S REEL DEAL M AT T D U N C A N There are a lot of horror movies in the theater right now. It’s October, after all. So, naturally, there are all sorts of movies about psychopathic murderers, ghosts, demons, demon children and, I gather, even demon nuns. But the real horror story – the actual thing people are actually scared of, in the daylight and not just when something
goes bump in the night – isn’t psychopaths, ghosts or demons (it may be children, but that’s another thing): it’s A.I. (Artificial Intelligence). A lot of people are worried about A.I. And they’re worried about it for all sorts of different reasons. Some are worried about “Terminator” – like scenarios where the machines take over. Others are worried about losing their job to A.I., or A.I. crashing their car or botching their surgery. And some kind souls are also worried about not how A.I. will affect us, but how we will affect them – how we will treat (or mistreat) potentially conscious, sentient beings. “The Creator” digs into, or at least pokes at, all of this. Step aside psychos, devils, witches and ethereal specters – the real horror show is coming, not through your window at night, but through the little glass screens we’re glued to at all hours. But that’s just the start. Or only partially. Because A.I. are both in our smartphones and computers and also out there
in robotics. And “The Creator” starts with a little WWII-era film reel that starts with early advances in robotics and ends in 2065, when the movie is set (odd that the film reel is old-timey even as it extends into the future, but whatever). According to the film reel, robotic A.I. went from being clumsy fantasies to helping us make cars and the like, to being our maids, to becoming our co-workers and buddies and companions and more. Then they nuked us. Los Angeles, in particular. Dammit. Not cool. So, the honeymoon was short – the love affair with A.I. ended quickly. Now it’s all-out war: humans vs. A.I. Joshua (John David Washington) is with the U.S. government, and his mission is to find “the Creator” (aka Nirmata), who is the mysterious designer of new A.I. coming out of New Asia. Joshua has gone deep undercover. And by that, I mean he’s gone off and married his “target,” Maya (Gemma Chan), who the U.S. suspects is the daughter of Nirmata. Oh, and she’s like seven months pregnant with his child, too. He’s playing the long game, I guess. The U.S. government is antsy, so they

send in the troops. Joshua isn’t pleased – he swears, as he ambles out of cute little snuggle sesh with Maya, that he had it under control. But then comes NOMAD. It’s a big, trillion-dollar military vehicle – it looks a bit like a space station hovering over Earth, scanning the ground for targets, then sending bombs down on whatever it pleases. On that night, it pleases to send a bomb Maya’s way. Joshua is pissed. Nonetheless, five years later, Colonel Howell (Allison Janney) and General Andrews (Ralph Ineson) manage to rope him back into tracking down Nirmata. They want him back on the job because Nirmata is evidently building a weapon that can take down NOMAD, which will tip the war in favor of the A.I. side. But nothing is as it seems. The “weapon” isn’t what Joshua thought it would be. The good guys start to look like bad guys, and vice versa. And goshdarnit, the A.I. are people too. Come to think of it, it’s even kind of weird how people-like – or, to be more precise, how 2023-human-being-like – the A.I. are. Not only do they appear to be conscious, sentient and feel real human-like emotions, they also do things like drink beer, go to A.I. strip clubs and build, for some reason, heavy-set grandmas who limp around. This might sound quaint or charming. I say it’s unimaginative. Sci-fi is supposed to expand our imagination, extend our vision into the future, bend our minds, change our perspective. Stripper A.I.s? How boring! Instead of giving us an interesting and unique perspective on what an A.I. future might look like, “The Creator” tries to jam the future into our own highly contingent, anthropocentric 2023 ways of thinking. It’s trite, and sentimental, and oh so dull. And the plot is so full of holes, both big and small. Characters suddenly appear in places they shouldn’t be, without giving viewers a sense of how or why they got there, doing equally inexplicable things. And evidently the US government is smart enough to build NOMAD (which isn’t actually that cool), but not smart enough to prevent easy access to its most sensitive secrets from disgruntled ex-employees. Ugh. It’s almost as if “The Creator” was itself written by some second-rate A.I. – some ChatGPT knockoff trained on naught but the cheesiest sci-fi/action movies of all time. If you want a scary movie to watch for Halloween – or even just a good movie, or an interesting movie – don’t go for “The Creator.” If you want a horror show, well, then, go for “The Creator.” “The Creator” is rated PG-13 for violence, some bloody images and strong language. Matt Duncan, a former Coastal View News editor, has taken physical but not emotional leave from Carpinteria to be a philosophy professor at Rhode Island College. In his free time from philosophizing, Duncan enjoys chasing his kids around, watching movies and updating his movie review blog, duncansreeldeal.blogspot.com.

Public Notices _________________________________
Draft Carpinteria Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) Available for Public Review In accordance with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), the Carpinteria Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) has developed a draft Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP), and it is now available for review and comment. The GSP is a detailed roadmap for how to ensure groundwater reliability within 20 years to safeguard our future water supply. The Carpinteria Groundwater Basin is designated a high-priority basin under the SGMA – this means our vital groundwater resources are critical as a public water supply and this plan helps identify how to protect these resources. Community input is essential for an accurate, comprehensive GSP that reflects the needs of the community. The public is invited to provide input during the 30-day comment period from Oct. 6 to Nov. 6, 2023. The Carpinteria GSA Board of Directors will then consider adopting the GSP at a public hearing on Nov. 29, 2023. How to Submit Comments on the GSP • Visit the Carpinteria GSA website at https://carpgsa.org and click on “Groundwater Sustainability Plan.” • Use the online form to submit your comments. • Written comments will also be accepted by mailing a letter to the Executive Director of the Carpinteria GSA at 1301 Santa Ynez Avenue, Carpinteria, CA 93013. • All comments must be received no later than Nov. 6, 2023. Publish: October 5, 12, 19, 26, Nov. 2, 2023 ________________________________ Notice Of Trustee’s Sale Under Notice Of Delinquent Assessment And Claim Of Lien Order No: APN: 051-430-009 You Are In Default Under A Notice Of Delinquent Assessment And Claim Of Lien, Dated 3/10/2023. Unless You Take Action To Protect Your Property, It May Be Sold At A Public Sale. If You Need An Explanation Of The Nature Of The Proceeding Against You, You Should Contact A Lawyer. Notice is hereby given that Schwartz Vays, as duly appointed trustee pursuant to that certain Notice of Delinquent Assessment and Claim of Lien (hereinafter referred to as “Lien”), recorded on 3/10/2023 as Doc #2023-0006753in the office of the County Recorder of Santa Barbara County, California, and further pursuant to the Notice of Default and Election to Sell thereunder recorded on 6/15/2023 as Doc# 2023-0017272 in said county and further pursuant to California Civil Code Section 5675 et seq. and those certain Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions recorded on 11/4/1974 as Instrument #1974-39393, will Sell on 11/1/2023 at 1:00 PM, north door main entrance to County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street Santa Barbara CA 93121, at public auction to the highest bidder for lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale, all right, title and interest in the property situated in said county as more fully described in the above-referenced Lien. The purported owner(s) of said property is (are): Gloria L Plumb. The property address and other common designation, if any, of the real property is purported to be: 132 W Alamar Avenue #5 Santa Barbara, CA 93105, APN 051-430009. The undersigned trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the of the initial publication of this Notice of Sale is: $11,044.88. The opening bid at the foreclosure sale may be more or less than this estimate. In addition to cash, trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn on a state or federal credit union or a cheek drawn on a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. If tender other than cash is accepted, the trustee may withhold issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. In its sole discretion, the seller (foreclosing party) reserves the right to withdraw the property from sale after the opening credit bid is announced but before the sale is completed. The opening bid is placed on behalf of the seller. Said sale shall be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Lien, advances thereunder, with interest as provided in the Declaration or by law plus the fees, charges and expenses of the trustee. No cashier’s checks older than 60 days from the day of sale will be accepted. This Property Is Being Sold In An “As-Is “Condition. This communication is from a debt collector. Schwartz Vays is attempting to collect a debt and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. If you have previously received a discharge in bankruptcy, you may have been released from personal liability for this debt in which case this notice is intended to exercise the secured party’s
rights against the real property only. Notice To Potential Bidders: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction docs not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a Junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may bold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. Notice To Property Owner: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether this sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date of the sale of this property, you may call 877-440-4460 or visit this Internet Web site: www.mkconsultantsinc.com/trustees-sales/ using the file number assigned to this case: T1HZ-VAJJ. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice To Tenant: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an ‘’eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase, First , 48 hours after the date of the trustee sate, you can call 877-440-4460, or visit this internet website www.mkconsultantsinc. com/trustees-sales/ using the file number assigned to this case: T1HZ-VAJJ to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. Important Notice: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the sale shall be subject to the following as provided in California Civil Code Section 5715: ‘’A non-judicial foreclosure sale by an association to collect upon a debt for delinquent assessments shall be subject to a right of redemption. The redemption period within which the separate interest may be redeemed from a foreclosure sale under this paragraph ends 90 days after the sale.” Dated: 9/22/2023 Schwartz Vays, as said Trustee 7255 NE 4th Ave. Unit 110-2 Miami, FL 33138 (800) 8759221 /s/ Vanessa Diaz, Trustee Dept of Schwartz Vays, as agent for Villa Alamar Homeowners’ Association, Inc Publish: October 5, 12, 19, 2023 ________________________________ FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME STATEMENT.

CHEF RANDY R A N DY G R A H A M This recipe has the flavors you love in fried Chile Rellenos and is baked casserole style. By avoiding the deep fry, these chili rellenos are relatively low in calories. My recipe uses mild poblanos, a light batter and two types of cheese. To make it easier to prepare, I use canned enchilada sauce. Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients:
4 large poblano peppers Canola oil 1½ cups green enchilada sauce 8 ounces Oaxaca cheese (shredded) 2 large eggs ½ cup whole milk ½ teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper ¼ cup all-purpose flour ¼ cup club soda ½ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

BEST BAGELS SINCE 1996 • PRE-ORDER bagels 805-319-0155
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 9” x 13” baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Rinse and dry poblano peppers and rub canola oil all over each pepper. Place peppers on a foil-covered, ribbed sheet pan and bake for ten minutes. Rotate peppers and cook for an additional ten minutes. Remove peppers from the pan and place into a large Ziploc storage bag. Seal the bag and allow it to steam for ten minutes. Remove peppers from the pack and very carefully peel off the blackened skin. Cut off the top of the pepper and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Rinse off, dry and set aside. Pour the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the baking dish and spread evenly. Carefully stuff the cheese into the poblanos and place them on top of the sauce in the baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, stir in milk, seasonings and flour. Stir in club soda. Pour batter over the peppers in the baking dish. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top and bake in a 375-degree oven for 30 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the batter is golden.

50 years ago, before Catlin Circle
THURSDAY
Perhaps more striking than what this aerial photo from 1972 contains is what it is missing. The orchard on the upper right corner is now Eucalyptus and Manzanita streets, flanked by tract homes, with Heath Ranch Park alongside. The orchard along the left edge of the photo is now part of the Santa Monica Gardens development, and the field on the other side of Santa Monica Creek is now Catlin Circle condominiums. Dahlia Court and its new annex are an empty field above. The one building present in 1972 and gone now is the old Carrows Restaurant, pictured above Highway 101 and to the left of Santa Monica Creek.

Warriors suffer sixth loss in a row in 39-28 shootout with Cabrillo
Carpinteria finds offensive spark but can’t stop Conquistadors’ pass-heavy quarterback BY RYAN P. CRUZ • PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING Both Carpinteria and Cabrillo needed a win heading into this week’s matchup. Carpinteria started the season hot at 2-0, but the Warriors have not won a game since – and the Conquistadors came into the game with a 0-7 record, without a single win all year. The Warriors came out swinging on Friday, Oct. 13, marching down the field and taking an early 7-0 lead when senior quarterback Talon Trumble found senior Nathan Sanchez on a four-yard pass for the first score of the game. Cabrillo answered right back, with quarterback Gage Mattis starting what would be a big game through the air with his first touchdown pass of the day to wideout Jude Anderson. After a failed two-point conversion, Carpinteria was still ahead, 7-6. But Cabrillo took the ball back and Mattis launched his second touchdown pass of the night with a 52-yard strike to Blake Gregory, and after a successful two-point attempt, the Conquistadors took their first lead of the night, 14-7. The Warriors offense would soon strike
back with eight minutes left in the second quarter, when Trumble narrowly avoided a sack and caught senior Sebastian Hernandez down the right sideline, who evaded two Cabrillo defenders and scored to tie the game at 14-14. Before the end of the half, however, Cabrillo would score twice more. With four minutes to go in the second quarter, the Conquistadors took the lead back 21-14 with a hard-nosed six-yard run from CJ Hawk; and with under a minute left in the half, Cabrillo got the ball back and Mattis threw his third touchdown of the game with a jump ball to 6’1’’ tight end Tommy Kiesling, who leaped over the Warriors defense to grab the catch and give the Conquistadors a 27-14 halftime lead. After the half – which included a Homecoming ceremony naming senior kicker Raul Reyes Rojas as this year’s Homecoming King – the Warriors got the ball back and marched down the field to score on a one-yard run by Trumble, bringing the game within six points, 27-21 early in the third quarter.
Judah Torres (#4) is tripped up by Cabrillo’s Isaac Rojas (#22).
But Cabrillo wasn’t done scoring, and sophomore receiver Andre Briscoe broke loose for a 63-yard touchdown to extend the Conquistadors’ lead to 33-21 going into the fourth quarter. In the fourth, Cabrillo’s quarterback took to the ground this time, with Mattis breaking free for a 57-yard touchdown run to extend the lead to 39-21. Carpinteria scored once more, with Trumble finding Hernandez a second time on a 56-yard pass touchdown to cut the lead to 39-28 with seven minutes remaining. It turned out to be too little too late, as Cabrillo (1-7) ran out the rest of the clock to earn its first win of the year. With the loss, Carpinteria (2-6) has now lost six games in a row since starting the season 2-0. The Warriors will play on the road at Fillmore this week before closing out the season at home against Nordhoff on Oct. 27. The final home game will also serve as Senior Night for all the graduating members of Carpinteria’s football team, cheerleading squad and marching band.

Carpinteria water polo claims league title for sixth straight year
After two more dominant league wins over Hueneme and Nordhoff, Carpinteria boys water polo claimed the regular season Citrus Coast League title for the sixth time in as many years. The Warriors have been a tough team in the pool all season, and Carpinteria put on an offensive show against Hueneme, with every player scoring at least one goal – the third time that Carpinteria has completed that feat this season. Jake Ehlers led all scorers with three goals, while Carpinteria’s defense locked down and allowed zero goals in the 15-0 victory. “I was proud to see the boys continue our streak of defensive discipline and play for each other in all four quarters,” said Carpinteria coach Karl Fredrickson. The Warriors hosted Nordhoff for Senior Night on the final home game of the season, with the school celebrating the six seniors who are playing their last year in the pool: Jackson Melton, Eli Sheaffer, Asher Smith, Kristian Main, Cody Schwasnick and Griffin Yamaoka. This year’s group of seniors has been part of some of the most successful water polo seasons in Carpinteria history, including winning the CIF Southern Section Division 5 Championship in 2021 – the same year that Smith was named CIF’s Player of the Year as a sophomore. In 2022, the team navigated a difficult jump up from Division 5 to Division 2, and still made a splash into the second round of the CIF Playoffs. The seniors led the way in a 21-3 blowout win over Nordhoff on Senior Night, with Smith having a great all-around performance with five goals, three assists and four steals. Schwasnick contributed four goals of his own, while Yamaoka, Sheaffer and Main all scored two goals apiece. “It was a great day to celebrate our accomplished group of seniors and applaud their years of hard work and commitment,” Fredrickson said. “It’s always bittersweet to see these chapters come to a close but I couldn’t be more proud of each of our boys and their impact on this program and our community.” Carpinteria will have one more non-league game at Thousand Oaks before preparing for the CIF postseason.

Warriors tennis suffers two non-league losses
Carpinteria girls tennis had a busy week with four matches, and although the Warriors dropped two nonleague matches, the team was still in prime position to claim the Citrus Coast League title at 11-0. The Warriors nearly lost their first league match of the year in a 9-9 match against Hueneme, but Carpinteria had the advantage in games won, 73-67, and remained unblemished in the Citrus Coast League. Carpinteria won every match in singles play, with Charlotte Cooney, Izzy Scott and Silke Leonard all finishing 3-0, but the Warriors were outmatched in doubles play and lost all nine sets. Allison Banks returns a volley in a tough “It certainly wasn’t pretty matchup against Simi Valley. today but the real positive was how invested the girls became and how hard they fought to turn the match around and pick up the vital games, especially in the last round,” said Carpinteria coach Charles Bryant. “I give Hueneme a lot of credit as they came to play today and really gave us a great – yet tense in the score line – match.” The next day, Carpinteria hosted Division 2 opponent Simi Valley. The Warriors had a good showing in singles sets, but the higher division talent proved too much for Carpinteria and Simi Valley claimed the win, 11-7. “Overall, it was a good learning experience for us. We saw some big hitters and some savvy doubles play,” Bryant said. “Hopefully we can take a few positives out of this loss. It was great to see our girls know that they can compete against a strong Division 2 team.” For the team’s third match in three days, Carpinteria hosted Fillmore for another Citrus Coast League match. The Warriors got right back in rhythm, with Clover Martinez, Taylor Trembly and Valeria Zamora leading the way in singles play with a complete sweep. Carpinteria won all but one set on the day, and claimed the outright Citrus Coast League title with a 17-1 victory, remaining unbeaten in league play. “Overall, it was great to see us more relaxed today,” Bryant said. But in the team’s fourth match of the week, Carpinteria struggled to get going against crosstown rival Cate, and the Warriors dropped their third non-league loss of the season, 16-2. “We knew it was going to be a tough match going in, but their depth is really, well, deep,” Bryant said. “They did not have any weak spots that we could exploit at all.” Carpinteria is now 15-3 overall and 11-0 in the Citrus Coast League with two more matches left in the regular season.

Warriors sophomore golfer sets career record

Kiah led all Carpinteria players with a score of 46, followed by sophomore Jamaica Cook with a 48 and freshman Sophia Garay with a 53. “(Kiana) has really committed herself to working on her putting and it is paying off,” said Carpinteria coach Craig Cook.

Carpinteria cross country runners finish in top 10
Warriors runners finished in the top 10 at two of the team’s most recent meets, with junior Marvin Lujano taking seventh place during the Citrus Coast League meet in Oxnard and senior Audrey Kramer taking 10th at the same league meet and ninth at the Dos Pueblos Invitational in Goleta. Lujano’s seventh place time of 16:48 at the Citrus Coast League meet helped the boys earn sixth place overall, while Channel Islands took the overall top spot. Kramer led Carpinteria girls with 10th place at the Citrus Coast League meet, and improved in her next race with a ninth place at the Dos Pueblos Invitational with a time of 21:38.

Cate Rams Roundup
Cate junior Francesca Sutch continues to put up an impressive season in cross country, claiming her third overall win of the year with a first-place finish at the Dos Pueblos Invitational, clocking a new personal best time of 19:14. Senior Everest Schipper took the top spot in the boys race, setting his own new personal record with a time of 15:31. “Both Fran and Everest ran smart, strong races today,” said Cate coach Tim Weir. “Fran went out under control and looked really strong the entire race. Everest showed what he could do today without teammate Seb Sutch in the race.” On the volleyball court, the Cate Rams struggled in two matches this week, falling in a 3-0 sweep to La Reina and dropping a 3-1 loss against Bishop Diego. After suffering a sweep to La Reina, the Rams hosted Bishop Diego for Senior Night. The two teams battled through each set, but after Cate took the first, 25-19, the Cardinals took the next three to claim the win, 3-1. “Silver lining is that our team played fearless volleyball from the first point to the last,” said Cate coach Jordon Dyer. Dyer also credited the team’s seniors – Simran Sharma, Josie Frazier and Melanie Davidson – who he said “have all made a huge impact on our team.” Despite the two losses, Cate girls volleyball made the CIF postseason, and the Rams will travel to Huntington Beach to face Ocean View in the first round of the playoffs on Oct. 19.

Rites of passage, and incessantly barking dogs CVN
THE SEAWITCH SAYS AMY OROZCO Dear Amy O, Do you think children should be allowed to attend funerals, celebrations of life and memorials? Explain why or why not. Signed, Want to be Right on this Rite of Passage Dear Want to be Right on this Rite of Passage, Yes, I think children should be allowed to attend funerals. Of course, the decision rests with the parents, however, generally speaking, if a child is able to articulate wanting to attend the ceremony, I believe they should be able to attend. Being part of the ritual, particularly for a family member, certainly strengthens bonds. Getting the chance to say goodbye in their own way is very important. On the other hand, I firmly believe that children should never be forced to attend a funeral or similar service, and in death as in life, there always will be special cases and extenuating circumstances that very well may not be age-appropriate for children.
Do I think you bring your child to a funeral and act like it’s just another day? No, I don’t. Prepare your child. Describe what they may see: a casket, a burial plot, an urn, a corpse and so on. Make sure they know it’s okay to cry and it’s okay not to cry – whatever feelings they may have are acceptable and fine. Death rituals are part of the grieving process, which is different for every one of us. Funerals, celebrations of life and memorials offer closure and a sense of community, both of which give comfort. Lastly, it’s Halloween and Día de Los Muertos season. Children are familiar with death and the afterlife. The rite of a funeral, celebration of life or memorial is directly related to one of the most, if not the most, popular festivity of kiddo-land – the gigantic candy grab. What a perfect setting for a very teachable moment. Dear Amy O, I am so sick and tired of my neighbor’s dog barking incessantly night after night. I can’t believe that the dog’s owner would be so inconsiderate of the neighbors. Some of us have to work in the morning. How can I get some peace and quiet? Signed, Barking Up the Wrong Tree
Dear Barking Up the Wrong Tree, I can’t believe there appears to be no concern for the dog. Poor Fido. An incessantly barking dog is an animal in distress. It is your moral obligation to help stop this animal abuse, which has multiplied into neighbor abuse.
Death rituals are part of the grieving process, which is different for every one of us. Funerals, celebrations of life and memorials offer closure and a sense of community, both of which give comfort.
The first thing to do is to talk to your neighbor, which could be difficult if the barker is a fang-baring guard dog. It is possible your neighbor is not aware of the problem. Simply ask them to keep the dog quiet, followed by a specific plan, such as Fido will be an indoor dog from sundown to sun-up. I suggest making an agreed-upon follow-up date, like in two weeks to see (or hear) how things are going. Do I think the above is easy? Absolutely not. But this is what civilized people do. What if the talk with the neighbor didn’t do the trick? Nolo.com suggests contacting animal control authorities and requesting they enforce local laws restricting noise. If the dog resides in the city of Carpinteria, call (805) 6845405. If the pup resides in the unin-
corporated part of the Carpinteria, call (805) 681-5285. Dog still barking? Consider filing a formal noise complaint. And still barking? Consider a nuisance lawsuit in small claims court and should that come to be, make sure you have documented all the steps you have taken to solve the problem, beginning with talking to your neighbor. Remember, don’t blame the dog. The dog is just being a dog. Hope you get a good night’s sleep soon.
