Surfliner developers to submit plans after election certification, developer confirms

As planned, the Surfliner Inn developers will work with the city to submit a formal set of plans for the controversial hotel after the county and the city of Carpinteria certify the November election results, developer Jeff Theimer confirmed.

With Measure T failing by 79 votes – as of Nov. 18 – the developers can now move forward with their plans for the city-owned Parking Lot #3. The official plans must go through the city’s Architectural Review Board and Planning Commission.

“We are extremely thankful to all the voters and the No on T Committee, as well as numerous community leaders and politicians who spoke out against the measure,” Theimer told CVN. “We are very excited to restart the planning process and will do so as soon as possible.”

Children’s Project sees increase in homeless families seeking services

The Carpinteria Children’s Project has reported a sharp increase in the number of homeless families seeking services in the past few months and urged residents to donate.

Director of Family Services Jessica Ramirez confirmed to CVN that the center has worked with eight families without homes this year, five of which came through in the last three months. For comparison, the center served three families without homes last year, Ramirez said.

“(This is) a very large jump,” Ramirez said. “We’ve also received about 10 other referrals for families who need assistance with utilities or rent. Those families have homes, we’ve just assisted with connecting them to resources that help pay their outstanding bills in order for them to stay in their homes.”

In a newsletter sent out to families, Executive Director Teresa Alvarez called the jump a “concerned trend,” and urged residents to donate to the center during the holidays.

“As we interview them, it’s clear that the smallest change in circumstances can mean the difference between their home and living out of a car or hotel. In many cases, these families need a week or less of support to bridge them to a more positive situation,” Alvarez wrote.

The Carpinteria Children’s Project is located at 5201 Eighth St. in Carpinteria. Learn more at carpchildren.org or a (805) 566-1600.

Middle School placed under brief lockdown, man in police custody for trespassing

Carpinteria Middle School was briefly put on lockdown Wednesday morning after Santa Barbara County sheriff’s deputies responded to the middle school for a report of a trespasser on campus.

According to a statement from Zick, deputies first responded to the campus at 9:21 a.m. Wednesday. The lockdown was cleared by 10 a.m. “(The) suspect fled prior to deputies’ arrival and school admin placed campus on brief lockdown,” Zick said.

Ivan Lopez, 37, was arrested by deputies at an apartment on the 5300 block of Carpin teria Avenue at 10:01 a.m., according to Raquel Zick, Sheriff’s Office public information officer. He was booked for trespassing on school grounds, obstruction, possession of controlled substance. Lopez also had warrants out for his arrest from Ventura County.

Carpinteria Middle School Principal Lisa O’Shea told parents and CVN the incident occurred between first and second period, when campus supervisors noticed an intruder jump the Eighth Street fence. “We immediately went into lockdown. The intruder ran across the field and jumped the pool gate and fled to the apartment complex on the other side of Carp Ave. A campus supervisor and (Assistant Principal Ricardo) Cota remained there to watch for him as law enforcement arrived, while students and staff continued in Hold and Secure,” O’Shea said.

City Council ends UPPO’s Garden lease ahead of trail construction

A temporary trail will be constructed at 399 Linden Ave. in Winter 2023

BY EVELYN SPENCE

The council voted Monday to end the month-to-month lease with UPPO’s Gar den – located on a portion of the 399 Lin den Ave. parcel – giving the tenant, Marla Daily, 30 days to vacate the property.

The property was initially owned by Union Pacific Railroad, who leased the property to Daily for parking and gar

dening use; the city bought the property from the railroad in 2013 and adopted a new month-to-month lease with Daily for garden and beautification purposes. Only 30 days’ notice is needed to end the lease, from either party.

“It was always expected this lease was (for) interim use,” Parks, Recreation & Public Facilities Director Matt Roberts told the council Monday.

Senior survey shows senior hub requested

Assistant City Manager Michael Ramirez went over the results of the senior citizens survey – a product of the Ad Hoc Senior Services Planning Committee & Working Group – on Monday. Of the 399 survey responses, 75% of respondents were female, and only 6% were Spanish-speaking, Ramirez said. Most expressed the need for a senior and community hub, with programming and socialization activities.

Ramirez said the first step comes with a permanent, full-time programming coordi nator, who would deal with volunteers, grants and other administrative procedures.

The ad hoc committee will continue operating, and this matter will come back to the council.

An interim trail will be developed on the parcel, stretching from Linden Ave nue to Holly Avenue; it was approved by city planning departments in July 2022, known colloquially as the Linden and Holly Trail. Construction is scheduled for Winter 2023.

Additionally, under the Lease Disposi tion and Development Agreement signed between the city and 499 Linden Manag ers LLC – the developers of the Surfliner Inn – the developers will construct a new city parking lot and a permanent walking trail on that parcel.

“I think it’s a good time before the end of the year to look at this piece of property as a community,” Councilmember Gregg Carty said prior to the vote. “I think it’s in the city’s best interest not to renew

this lease.”

Public commenter Amrita Salm stated Daily was out of town with no internet and requested the item be moved to allow her to speak. When the item came up, Vice Mayor Al Clark also requested the council postpone this vote until Daily was back in town; because there was no vote held at the beginning of the meeting to postpone the item, the vote to end the lease went forward.

Clark voted no; the other four coun cilmembers voted yes.

UPPO’s Garden must remove the fence and restore the property to its original condition within 30 days, according to the council resolution. Roberts added addi tional time may be given to the tenant to clear out the property.

Hulick, Walsmith honored for local contributions

The Carpinteria City Council honored Nona Hulick’s contributions to Carpinteria at Monday night’s meeting – citing her commitment to volunteering in the area – and celebrated her 100th birthday.

Hulick, who was born on Dec. 15, 1922, in Chicago, Illinois, has lived in Carpinteria since 1999. She began volunteering with HELP of Carpinteria, a nonprofit driving service that offers free rides to Carpinterians, as a dispatcher in September 2010.

“I don’t know what to say, this is all so overwhelming,” Hulick said Monday. “That’s all I can say.”

The council thanked her for her service to the community and congratulated her for “an extraordinary life lived.”

The council also honored Bob Walsmith Jr., the 2022 outgoing Santa Barbara Association of Realtors president.

“I feel a little overwhelmed and shocked,” he said. “I appreciate it… I didn’t realize I did that many things (…) I love trying to help people buy homes.”

He thanked the council for mentioning his wife, Julie, in the proclamation. “The best thing is, you spoke about my beautiful wife, Julie. That’s the most important thing in the world to me.”

We must protect Carpinteria

FROM THE MAYOR’S DESK

WADE NOMURA MAYOR OF CARPINTERIA

Dear Community Members, I’m writing to let you know about efforts your city has initiated in response to one of the greatest challenges our community has faced and to urge you to get informed and involved.

California law mandates cities and counties to adequately plan for future housing that meets projected needs throughout the state. Despite decades of planning for this growth, housing production in California has lagged demand and in recent years the state has declared a crisis, significantly increasing the amount of housing that must be planned for and passing laws that limit cities and counties say over where and how that housing gets built.

Carpinteria is mandated to plan for 901 housing units over the next eight years. There are currently about 5,000 households in Carpinteria, meaning these additional 901 housing units, if all constructed, would increase the City’s housing stock by 18 percent. To put that into perspective, over the past 40 years Carpinteria’s population has grown about 15 percent, including a relatively flat period over the last three decades. Planning for an 18 percent increase in housing units means planning for more households and the related service demands of those additional people.

Determining how Carpinteria will plan for 901 new housing units is challenging enough, but a more significant issue for Carpinteria may be how the County of Santa Barbara determines to plan for its own housing allocation in the unincorporated areas outside of the south coast cities of Carpinteria, Santa Barbara and Goleta.

The county has identified 11 potential sites directly adjacent to Carpinteria City limits where the county could propose rezoning agricultural land to allow building high density residential development.

City cracks down on homestay violations

The Carpinteria City Council voted Monday to amend homestay property regulations and crack down on violators, clarifying that homestay licensees must only allow one booking at a time and that each booking must be limited to four guests with one vehicle.

Homestays are residential properties where the primary owner remains and lives on the property while a room is rented out for a period under 30 days. They are allowed anywhere in the city on residential properties.

“It allows people to finance their high rents and it’s a way to allow rental units without giving up the entire residential unit,” Community Development Director Steve Goggia told the council. “A homestay is just that: a room in a house.”

Goggia said the city had received

complaints that homestay owners who owned several properties throughout the city were renting them out all at once – in violation of the homestay ordinances – and had verified those complaints.

“We made some changes to admin procedures that requires that the homestay is the applicant’s – homeowner’s – primary residence, and the procedures give us ways to determine that and where their mail is being sent,” Goggia said.

City Legal Counsel Jena Shoaf Acos said there are four homestays currently licensed within the city, compared to 180 vacation rentals.

Vice Mayor Clark recused himself, stating that he lives within 500 feet of one of the homestays.

The expected number of housing units that could result from the rezoning of those parcels of land would range between 745 and 3,044 units, depending on the final density and number of sites that the county selects. These housing units would be in addition to the 901 units the city is planning for over the next eight years and the already pending application for the county’s Bailard Avenue housing project, which calls for 168 new housing units immediately adjacent to the city.

Using the city’s average household size of 2.65 persons and the county’s sites under consideration in the valley, the

build out of the housing being planned for by the city and county could result in a population increase ranging from roughly 4,800 additional residents up to 10,900 additional residents. In this most extreme scenario, the possible population growth in the Carpinteria Valley would result in a near doubling of the city’s current population over the next decade. Even at the lower end of the range, Carpinteria Valley could expect to see the equivalent of a roughly one-third increase in the city’s population.

In any of these scenarios, these new residents will place additional strain on city resources and make demands on public services without any guarantee that tax revenue will be sufficient to pay for those services. Perhaps even more alarming, the new California laws driving this housing production do very little to ensure all of this growth will result in housing that is even affordable to the people that live and work in the Carpinteria community.

I have serious concerns about the potential for the county plan resulting in negative impacts to precious coastal resources, including agriculture, that our community has worked so tirelessly to protect, and the ability to meet the needs of a large and dispersed population in the Valley.

I am also very disappointed, given the location of the county’s housing sites directly adjacent to the city and the obvious implications that building this housing would have on city services, that there has been no effort to work collaboratively with the city to date.

I expressed these concerns as a part of my comments at a Nov. 17 county workshop and requested that they take a step back and engage in a collaborative process to determine where and how much housing is appropriate in the Carpinteria Valley.

I will continue to advocate for the city taking a strong position on the issues raised by the county’s plan.

I also wish to encourage everyone to engage in the county’s process to ensure your voices are heard. Information can be found at the County’s Housing Element Update website here: countyofsb. org/3177/Housing-Element-Update.

The Carpinteria City Council recognized Carpinteria resident Nona Hulick, center, for her 100th birthday and her contributions to Carpinteria at Monday night’s meeting.

Bob Walsmith Jr., the outgoing 2022 Santa Barbara Association of Realtors president, center, was honored by the council Monday.

THE LAY OF THE LAND

MIKE WONDOLOWSKI

Cities and counties need to generate enough revenue to pay for all the services they provide. Sometimes other expenses must be cut, or new revenue must be found, whether for funding for services, a new park or filling a pothole.

When land is used for houses, con dominiums or apartments, it generates some local property tax revenue, but there are a lot of expenses that provide services to the residents who live there. Clever public officials figured out a long time ago that if that same amount of land is used for things like auto dealerships, big box stores or hotels, there can be a lot more revenue from sales taxes and Transient Occupancy Tax (hotel tax). As an added bonus, the cost of providing public services for such uses can be less than residential costs. These folks figured out the game of “Zoning for Dollars.”

The game is to zone more land for retail and hotel development and less for residential. By default, neighboring communities that are not as good at the game become “bedroom communities” for the people who work, shop and visit your town, and you win the game!

Back in 1969, after recognizing a wors ening statewide shortage of housing –especially affordable housing – the state

In the Carpinteria Valley, the county is planning to rezone three areas from agriculture to high-density residential, as seen on the map.

of California passed a law mandating that all cities and counties must plan for housing needs for people across the range of income levels, a process called the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

When Proposition 13 passed in 1978 limiting increases in property taxes, the motivation for cities and counties to search for loopholes and ways to work around the RHNA requirements and continue Zoning for Dollars only increased. Proper ty tax revenues were limited, but collecting sales tax and hotel tax was like printing money! Over the years, the state found ways to limit the loopholes and force implementation of the RHNA allocations.

Every single one of these areas is just outside the Carpinteria city limit and outside the carefully-defined urban boundary line. Interestingly, throughout the rest of the county, there is only one property outside of the urban boundary line recommended for rezoning, or even potential rezoning.

A well-designed urban boundary line that remains stable against development pressures is critically important. It is the primary tool to prevent urban sprawl (tinyurl.com/carpsprawl), to protect the essential Carpinteria Valley agriculture and even to help protect our community against natural disasters (tinyurl.com/ carpfire and tinyurl.com/carpfire2).

That brings us to today where, along with other cities and counties in the state, the city of Carpinteria and Santa Barbara County are working on Housing Element updates that require figuring out how to accommodate the large number of additional housing units required by the RHNA allocations for the next eight-year planning cycle. That cycle starts in 2023.

The city has made good progress and has identified several areas where it is considering implementing zoning chang es to allow residential development of 20 units per acre on parcels that currently are non-residential. Further review is in progress, and, while such changes in our community will not be easy and will present challenges, they should be manageable.

On the other hand, the county recently released its map of parcels for potential rezoning (tinyurl.com/RHNAmap), and there are huge issues that have generated a community uproar. The county held a public workshop to discuss South County plans. Across Zoom and in-person attendance, nearly 200 people attended including a disproportionate number of Carpinterians, who nearly unanimously expressed serious concerns about the county’s plans (tinyurl.com/ CarpUproar).

In the Carpinteria Valley, the county is planning to rezone three areas from agriculture to high-density residential, including the North Bailard Avenue proposal for 173 high-density apartments across from Monte Vista Park. Addition ally, the county lists nine other areas as potential rezones, from agriculture to high-density residential.

All California communities are re quired to do our part to accommodate the state’s housing needs, and our com munity is well on its way via the city of Carpinteria’s Housing Element update. The county’s ideas for expanding the urban boundary not only cause problems, but now open the door to urban sprawl gobbling up more agricultural lands.

High-density residential development belongs inside the urban boundary, and there are adequate alternatives to accom modate the RHNA allocations inside the existing urban boundary on the South Coast.

We need to speak up for our commu nity and for well-established planning practices. Track the status of this proposal at tinyurl.com/carpRHNA, and learn more via Carpinteria’s representative, County Supervisor Das Williams (tinyurl. com/contactDas).

We need housing. We need agricul ture. And we need a carefully designed and stable urban boundary line defining where each belongs.

“Carpinteria

Suite” worth a listen

I was intrigued by the article about Cody Anderson composing the symphonic suite “Carpinteria Suite.” He created it over six months during the pandemic in connection with the Santa Barbara City College Music Department. All the musicians recorded their parts at home and then it was put together later. Amazing! I found the recording on YouTube under “SBCC Music Department” and then scrolled down to “Carpinteria Suite.” It was a delightful 20 minutes of music with over 35 talented musicians. It is worth a listen!

“Small Things Like These” by Claire Keegan is a beautifully written story – one of the better ones I have read recently. Shortlisted for the Book Prize this year, Keegan’s novella is tender and sharp, slow and beautiful, with a steady low drumbeat of unease.

“Light Rains Sometimes Fall” by Lev Parikian

This is a wondrous book. Adopting the Japanese practice of segmenting the year into 72 seasons, author Lev Parikian uses the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown to explore his West London neighborhood. Each five-day season is a chapter of his exploration. Whether you are a fan of nature, a person who needs a practice to enjoy the outdoors or a dedicated birder, this is your book. What struck me was how the five-day seasons did reflect observable changes. Parikian gently celebrates the arrival of starlings, the glimpses of kestrels and the changing beauty of plant life as he chronicles his walks.

His walks are often through a local cemetery, creating a landscape for a splendid assortment of animals. The area also provides a quiet, meditative sense to Parikian’s writing.

There are laughs, especially at the weather, with his descriptions of walking through rain-drenched muck among my favorites. He touches briefl y on his work as a conductor. I read the word conductor and thought of London, perhaps a train. Wrong: He is an orchestra conductor, which probably explains his love of and attention to birds’ songs.

This book is easy to read over time, has short sections, is always charming and leaves you feeling better for having shared his walk, if only in printed form.

Set during Christmas in Ireland in 1985, something observed begins gnawing into the subconscious of Bill Furlong, the hardworking small business owner, who is the happily married father of five daughters. Reflections of Furlong’s life come to the surface for him in the cold days leading to Christmas. Raised by a single Catholic mother, they were taken in and cared for by a Protestant woman. Kindness, generosity, secrets and shame all play a part in this story, but courage is what makes this book matter. It is sure to become a classic; “Small Things Like These” makes us all braver for the reading of it.

Murder mystery novel “Rincon Point” dives into familiar places

BY JUN STARKEY

Local Shaun Swegman’s first pub lished novel “Rincon Point” follows a former journalist turned investigator as he crosses paths with a violent surfer gang that have taken over the titular beach in Carpinteria, inspired by some real-life events and the area of Southern California he has come to call his home.

Born in Florida, Swegman moved to Southern California when he was one; his parents were both native to the state. He would grow up in cities such as Thousand Oaks and El Segundo, later leaving to receive a degree in journalism from the University of Texas before eventually settling in Ventura County, where he currently resides.

His story “Rincon Point,” published in 2021, centers around protagonist Terry Cahill, a former investigative journalist turned private detective who is attempt ing to start a new life for himself near Rincon Point Beach in Carpinteria.

The beach has been taken over by a gang of violent surfers who have been assaulting anyone who surfs there, and the son of a local mob boss is badly in jured. After a series of shark attacks begin taking out the surfers, Cahill unearths an old, unsolved murder. The story then follows Cahill as he investigates the case and forms relationships with the cast of local characters.

“I’d always wanted to write a mystery from the perspective of a journalist,” Swegman said. Journalists and detectives have similar jobs, he said, both research ing and conducting interviews in the pur

suit of truth.

Inspired by old detective shows and even cartoons like “Scoo by-Doo,” Swe gman knew he wanted his story to center around a group of people, bas ing some of the main charac ters off peo ple he’d met throughout his life. “I wanted it to feel like a TV show from decades ago,” he said. “I wanted it to be about the char acters as much as the crime.”

Some charac ters, such as the town sher iff or members of a local Mixed Martial Arts center, are based on friends and associates he knows in the area.

The concept of a violent surfer gang came after Swegman saw a news report several years ago, about a group of young surfers who had been assaulting and slashing the tires of people who surfed on the beach. “It wasn’t a big story,” he said, but it led him to wonder: “What

if a group like that messed with the wrong people?”

Though the real-life story took place in a similar South ern California beach town, Swegman said he wanted to explore an area that was famil iar and senti mental to him. “I wanted to show people a piece of this place that I love.”

Rincon Point Beach made sense as a loca tion, Swegman said, since it’s not an over ly-populated tourist beach like others in the area. “I wouldn’t call it secluded, but it’s off the beaten path,” he said. “It couldn’t happen at other local beaches.”

Despite the murder aspect of the novel, Swegman said there was a lighthearted ness to it. “It’s a story about someone starting a new life and forming relation

ships,” he said.

Swegman said he aims to continue the series following Cahill and the other characters from “Rincon Point.” He is currently working on a sequel, and said he hopes it will be finished and released sometime next year.

Taylor’s Salad

Ventura County resident Shaun Swegman recently published his first novel, titled “Rincon Point.” Set in the summer of 1991, the story follows a detective as he navigates an old, unsolved murder, and deals with a violent gang of surfers taking over Rincon Point.

WELLNESS WARRIOR

LEAH HARDING

As you read this, the holidays will be in full swing. Life inevitably gets a bit busier and more stressful around now, even if it is the most wonderful time of the year.

If you have been working on your health and fitness, the holidays are a great time to have all your good work fall by the wayside in a torrent of mer rymaking. But, before you throw in the towel, just know that there are a few things that you can do to keep on track.

Here are my top five things to do to stay on track during the holidays, in no particular order.

Prioritize movement. This doesn’t mean you need to hit the gym every day. It means you still need to make an effort to move your body in some man ner. That could be a 10-minute walk, a 15-minute strength session at home with bands or your body weight, or maybe it just means parking farther away while out holiday shopping.

Get in whatever movement you can, when you can, but don’t let it be hap penchance; make it intentional.

Plan indulgences wisely. Let’s say you know you’re going out for a holiday dinner with friends, but your coworker brought in some of their secret recipe sugar cookies. Let’s ignore the fact that not taking one would be rude. Decide where you would want to “spend” your calories: at dinner, or on sugar cookies. Perhaps you have both, but if you have a cookie, you may rethink lightening up a dinner entree. You should absolutely enjoy your holiday meal without regret or remorse, but don’t let one meal turn into two or three or days of indulgence.

Plan for balance and listen to your hunger cues. Eat things that make you feel good, so you don’t find yourself in a spot where you haven’t had a veggie in days, or you feel as though you need a sugar detox.

Get quality sleep . The less sleep you get, the harder it becomes to deal with stress. More sleep also means that you’ll need less caffeine, and it will be easier to say no in the face of holiday desserts and treats. A lack of sleep can also lead to an uptick in cravings and hunger. The latter makes sense, as your body is asking for more energy due to less sleep but saying no to the cravings will be more challenging; willpower and determination is impaired with less shut eye. Do your body and brain a favor and prioritize your bedtime to be close to the same every night (yes, even on the weekends, where possible).

Keep the spotlight on protein and veggies. This is one of the simplest things to do. Always plan your meals with protein as the base, then veggies and then wholegrain carbs. Fats will always find their way in. If you keep these two things on the forefront, you’ll ensure you’re getting quality food as the

bulk of your diet, and you’ll also feel more satiated with more protein.

This will help limit your overin dulgences, because you just won’t be hungry for them. My only suggestion is to keep butter, oils and cream in check when having veggies. Salad covered in ranch with cheese and bacon becomes something different than a salad with a light balsamic, beans and grilled chicken.

Keep stress in check. This one goes hand in hand with prioritizing sleep, although for some people, it needs to go beyond just getting more shut eye. If you are someone who stresses easily, make a plan to deal with it now, not once the stress is upon you. At that point you’ll already be feeling the repercussions, and it will be much harder to stay proactive and motivated to do something about it.

you deal with increased stress? Take a 10-minute break to meditate? Make a “To Do” list so your brain doesn’t have to remember everything? Read a book at night to decompress? Perhaps it’s something more special, like getting a massage or going out to dinner with friends. Whatever your method is that

helps you de-stress, decide on it now, so you know what to do when you feel the stress start to creep in (except drink – drinking isn’t a solution).

If you can do all of these things, you’ll find that your holidays will be a lot less stressful and overwhelming. If you can only do half of the above items, you’ll still be in a better place than if you didn’t do any of them!

Now, for the big reveal: this isn’t just a holiday recommendation. This is the exact same list I would create if you were trying to get healthier and didn’t know where to start or what to focus on. Just because it’s the holidays doesn’t mean you’re a different person, even though it sometimes feels that way.

As the British say: keep calm and carry on.

Kemp Aaberg’s soul arch remains iconic

BY VINCE BURNS

Rincon Point and the wider surf-dom lost one of its best in November when legend Kemp Aaberg (b. 1940) passed away in Santa Barbara. Remembrances of Aaberg – of which there are many online – have overwhelmingly cited his graciousness and humanity. Fittingly, a long-ago image of Kemp became an actual early-surfing icon; a photograph of his soul arch at Rincon served as both the “Surfer” official logo and a potent global symbol of the absolute joy of surfing.

A Surfing Life

Born in Peoria (of all places), Kemp and family Aaberg moved to Southern California, just in time for the youngster to be front and center at the creation of the surf legend. Aaberg made his bones at Malibu starting in 1956 with surf buddies Mike Doyle, Johnny Fain, Terry “Tubesteak” Tracy and Miki Dora. An occasional visitor as well that summer was a girl Tubesteak, famously nick named Gidget.

A wonderful photograph from 1958 shows Aaberg, Corny Cole – our Rincon surf subject from last month – and other Malibu regulars clowning with their balsa boards.

Discovered sanding boards in Dale Velzy’s surf shop at 18 years old, Aaberg was spontaneously picked by Bruce Brown for a trip to Hawaii to film “Slip pery When Wet” (1958). By then Aaberg was hooked; he quickly became a master Malibu stylist and began coming up to Rincon Point. Later, Aaberg rode big waves at Waimea in the company of Pat Curren (Tom’s father) and Greg Noll. And then there’s the surfing and comingof-age cult film, “Big Wednesday” (1978).

Brother Denny Aaberg, who cowrote the screenplay, supposedly modeled the character Jack Barlow after Kemp, who always modestly claimed that all the “Big Wednesday” characters were amalgamations.

He was not just a surfing legend (lit erally, as he entered the International Surfing Hall of Fame way back in 1991). He had many talents, both athletic and artistic. One achievement he was partic ularly proud of came at the famous and hyper-grueling Catalina Classic 32-mile paddleboard race. In 1960, he won the “stock” (standard, 14-foot boards) divi sion. Another Aaberg passion was the classical guitar; he even traveled to Spain to learn flamenco from the masters. He was also interested in triathlons. When Aaberg competed in the new sport, triath lons were still very much a niche sport, only for the most hardcore of athletes looking for the ultimate challenge.

Like many a surfer since, our area eventually drew Kemp permanently, via the twin lures of Rincon and UC Santa Barbara. After graduation (1966) he traveled globally, teaching and surfing in Australia and elsewhere. He returned to Santa Barbara, as Kemp himself explained, because “it was time to get solvent and get a (permanent) job.”

So, he drove a UPS truck for 25 years in Santa Barbara, which gave him ample time to devote to sport and music. As Kemp’s wife Ella explained: “We ended up buying a house on the Mesa in Santa Barbara on a cliff above the beach and he said to me, ‘We’ll always get good fresh air here from the ocean winds.’ He never really wanted to live anywhere else.”

Aaberg also found time to write col umns on surfing (the “Surf Scrolls”) for a Santa Barbara newspaper. Thanks to Ella, we sampled a few of these wonderful

THURSDAY

historical documents, which drip with Kemp’s love for surfing and his early beach comrades.

The Rincon Soul Arch

Rincon, of course, was one of Aaberg’s favorite spots. Per Ella, “Rincon is and was the epitome of one of the greatest surf spots on the globe. Kemp was drawn to this area because of its natural beauty and, he always said, ‘the wholesome life. Riding waves at Rincon keeps me fit and feeling alive.’”

Now, onto Aaberg’s most famous mo ment at Rincon. He told us last year: “I was always drawn to Rincon to surf and would drive up from Pacific Palisades where I lived at 18 or 19 along the old coast highway. The whole area was pretty

undeveloped. Rincon then usually had just a small group of surfers.” And it was in Winter 1959 at the Point that “Surfer” magazine founder Jon Severson (19332017) caught Aaberg in his arch.

“It wasn’t posed or anything,” Kemp said. “Severson was running out of film and had a few shots left with his tripod perched on the inside of the cove. I hap pened to hit a speed bump in the water, and it caused me to lean back into that position with my back. When he finally developed the film, only a few pictures came out and that was one of them.”

The photo was mostly under wraps until 1961, when it appeared in just the second issue of “Surfer” in an article about Rincon Point. (The first issue also had a photo of Aaberg at Rincon.) Al

though not “invented” by Kemp Aaberg, the soul arch came to be closely associated with him.

“…in those days it was called hot dog ging, everything was still new, and cer tain surfers tried different styles,” Kemp said in an issue of “Liquid Salt,” Vol. 2. “We were all experimenting in those days. That was not the first time I did the back arch, that was just the way that I surfed, and others had their own other ways of surfing, too. In the photo you can see when I got into this wave, it was peaking and peeling, and it was just natural that I would end up in that stance. So, the arch helped me, I found out, to smooth out the bumps when riding waves.” Read the full

This image – which later served as the “Surfer” magazine logo for over 20 years – first ran as part of a 1961 story in “Surfer” magazine.

LEFT: Bruce Brown’s “Slippery When Wet” starred Kemp Aaberg and other early surfers. The quaint official synopsis for the film: “Surfers Henry Ford, Freddy Pfahler, Kemp Aaberg, Del Cannon and Dick Thomas decide to leave California so they can embark on a dream trip to Hawaii. While in Hawaii the carefree quintet ride all kinds of waves at various top Hawaiian surfing spots and live together in a rundown shack on the North Shore of Oahu on only a hundred dollars a day.” RIGHT: Kemp Aaberg, right, poses in front of Jon Severson’s iconic photo of him from 1959.

Warriors boys’ and girls’ hoops back in action

BY RYAN P. CRUZ • PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING

Carpinteria’s boys and girls basketball teams have both picked up their first wins of the year, and both teams have plenty of upsides to look forward to as they start the long season ahead.

Over Thanksgiving week, early season basketball tournaments dominated the hoops landscape. The Carpinteria girls basketball team picked up its first win of the year and finished 2-2 in a tournament hosted by Santa Maria High School.

The win over Coastal Christian marked the Warriors girls’ first win in over a year and served as a debut for the freshmen duo of Jamaica Cook, who finished with 10 rebounds, and Charlotte Cooney, who led the team with 18 points in the victory.

The Warriors were back in action with another tournament at Nordhoff, which started with a tough 47-39 loss to Santa Clara.

In the loss, Carpinteria started slow and fell behind by as many as 14 points, but Cooney went on a 13-point run in the third quarter – including three out of her four three-pointers of the day – to bring the Warriors within three points.

Despite the loss, coach Henry Gonzales said the team showed resilience and had some great play. Cooney finished with a

team-high 18 points, while Cook continued to dominate the boards with 14 rebounds and three steals. Junior Amarisse Camargo added another nine points and led the defensive charge with six steals.

Carpinteria would fall in the next game against Nordhoff, 57-50. Camargo led the way with 22 points, 13 rebounds and four steals, while Cook had another double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.

The next day, the Warriors would redeem themselves with a dominant win over Hueneme, 64-19, for the team’s third win of the year.

Gonzales said the team came out of the gate with “high energy and focus,” allowing them to jump out to an early lead and never look back.

“We got stronger as the game progressed,” Gonzales said. “We were active on defense, which led to many steals and easy scoring opportunities.”

Camargo, who earned an All-Tournament selection, led the Warriors with 22 points, 11 rebounds, four steals and six assists. The two freshmen continued to impress as well; Cook finished with 13 points, 12 rebounds, two steals and

two blocks, and Cooney added 19 points and four steals.

“I continue to be pleased with our grit and Warrior Spirit,” Gonzales said. “We are making positive steps towards being a team to be reckoned with in league play.”

On the boys’ side, first-year head coach Jackson Hall picked up his first win of the year over Orcutt Academy, 62-39.

The win came at home in front of the Carpinteria fans, where senior Kainoa Glasgow and sophomore Sebastian Campuzano put on a show. Glasgow – who led the team in scoring last year – finished with a team-high 24 points, while Campuzano added another 16 in the victory.

After beating Orcutt Academy, the Warriors headed to Oxnard to face a strong and undefeated St. Bonaventure team. The Seraphs took the win, 72-32, advancing to 4-0 this year. St. Bonaventure has yet to allow an opponent to score more than 33 points this season.

Carpinteria boys basketball will return to action this week with tournaments at Rio Mesa and Nordhoff.

Carpinteria girls soccer claims home win over Bishop

Carpinteria hosted Bishop Diego for a girls soccer matchup, and the Warriors got their first win of the year in a strong 3-0 victory over the Cardinals.

Senior midfielder Ashley Verduzco set up junior forward Isela Zamora in the 14th minute for a one-touch score that gave the Warriors an early 1-0 lead, then Zamora would follow just twelve minutes later with her second goal of the game off a deflected shot from senior Sophie Mora to take a 2-0 lead into halftime.

Verduzco and freshman forward Evelyn Lara combined for the Warriors’ third and final goal in the 52nd minute, and Carpinteria held on to claim its first win of the year.

“I really loved to see the hard work we are putting into practice start to bear fruit on the pitch,” said Carpinteria head coach Freddy Martinez. “I know it’s a long road to get to our ultimate goal, being a playoff contender, but I’m enjoying watching the

Carpinteria girls dominate youth sports

Several local youth sports programs have been overachieving recently, with two youth soccer teams finishing their seasons with great success and another girls water polo squad finishing in second place in a very competitive coed league.

The Carpinteria AYSO U16 girls won the Section 10 League Championship in Bakersfield with four wins over two days. The girls rolled over San Bernardino (4-0) and North Valley (2-0), then overcame a tie against Malibu to beat Santa Barbara 1-0 and earn a spot in the final.

In the championship game, the girls shutout Sherman Oaks 4-0, closing a strong season under coaches Pedro Casas, Adrian Gonzalez and David Roberts. The U16 team also featured some Carpinteria High School freshmen – Vivian Huskins and Evelyn Lara – who have already contributed on the field for the Warriors’ varsity squad.

Carpinteria AYSO U12 girls, also known as Team Tsunami, also closed out the fall season with much success. In nine division games in the region, Team Tsunami finished with seven wins, one loss and one tie.

In the area tournament held over two days in Ventura, Team Tsunami competed with 20 local teams, serving three straight shutouts on day one and advancing to the final round. After a 1-1 tie with Santa

Barbara, the girls just missed out on the championship game when the match was decided by penalty kicks. Team Tsunami went on to win the consolation game, 2-1, and claim third in the tournament.

“Five games in two days is asking a lot of these girls, and I couldn’t be more proud of this team,” said head coach Jeff Spach. “I’ve had these girls three times a week since mid-August and have witnessed first-hand the progress and development of each player and how they began to gel as a unit.”

And in the pool, the Santa Barbara Pre mier League U14 girls – a team of mostly Carpinteria locals – celebrated a secondplace finish in the competitive coed Fall Ventura Water Polo League.

The team of girls beat the U14 Gold Coast coed team and the U14 South Coast boys squad before losing in the champi onship final against the Santa Barbara Premiere U12 boys.

As surf historian Matt Warshaw describes Aaberg’s style: “It was like God himself pulling the strings.”

Indeed, it was. Respected and loved by both the original surfers of his era and the next generations, Kemp was the best of role models, both as a person and a surfer.
