Protect Carp’s Future Vote No on Measure T

BY RYAN P. CRUZ

City Planner Nick Bobroff presented a quick preview of the project, which he explained would call for approximately 1,200 square feet of the park at a time, for a total of 35,635 square feet overall, to be fenced off while crews constructed theThewells.project is part of a large sustainability initiative with the Carpinteria Valley Water District and Carpinteria Groundwater Sustainability Agency, he said, to build wells at several points along the “Carpinteria water basin” to observe flow conditions and obtain samples for groundwater quality. These wells will be built at the northwestern edge of El Carro Park behind the soccer fields to prevent cross contamination with other groundwater wells around the Planningcity.Commission Chair Jane Benefield hoped the meeting would clear up questions over whether the wells would interfere with the use of the field. Bobroff explained that once the wells were constructed, they would be fully flush with the field and would not affect the public use of the land. And since this first hearing was specifically for the easement, and not the actual construction, the public will still have time to provide input before the project is fully approved. Several members of the public who live near the park raised concerns over the impacts of construction on noise and traffic in the area. Bobroff said that the “city can place its own provisions” for sound concerns if it finds the district provisions were inadequate.

Jason Rodriguez, Principal Officer – 226 E. Canon Perdido #D Santa Barbara, CA 93101

In honor and memory of those who have died by suicide, survivors and to increase sensitivity about suicide and its prevention.

The Carpinteria Planning Commission was originally scheduled Tuesday to discuss the upcoming plans to turn the vacant The Palms restaurant and connected residential units into a brand-new hotel, but a last-minute adjustment forced a postponement, leaving the commission to focus instead on the ﬁrst steps of planning a groundwater monitoring wells project at El Carro Park. The groundwater wells were also originally intended for a two-part hearing, which would have given the chance for the commission to approve both the easement allowing the city to use the land for water wells and the permits necessary for the actual construction. The second half of the groundwater wells project – for Planning Commission approval the Conditional Use and Coastal Development Permits – was also postponed, leaving the commission to only discuss whether the city would allow a temporary easement at the park, essentially acknowledging that the project could be built on public land.

Get the facts and see for yourself: www.protectcarp.com

The district, he said, is proposing a sound wall somewhere along the tree line to reduce any loud noise due to construction. And during the approximately six weeks of construction, the northern part of the ﬁeld would still be accessible for soccer and other recreational activities. With no other concerns or questions about granting the temporary easement, the commissioners unanimously approved the motion for the district’s use of the park for the construction of the wells, as is consistent with the city’s General and Coastal Land Use Plan. Longtime member of the board John Callender also announced his plans to retire after his term at the end of the year. Callender joined the commission in February 2008, and has spent 15 years as a measured, supportive voice for ecologically friendly projects in Carpinteria. “I’ve enjoyed my time on the planning commission,” Callender said. “I’ve learned a great deal from all of you and I appreciate the time and energy you put into my education, so thank you for that.” Callender will finish out his term, which is set to end on January 31, 2023. “You will be missed,” said Chair Beneﬁeld, who was appointed at the same time as Callender. “Thank you for all the work you’ve done.”

Victoria Ramona Lomeli 8/31/1967 – 8/2/2022

Bill Carty en tered Paradise on Aug. 17, 2022 due to pneumonia com plications. Bill was born to William and Daphne Carty in Los Angeles, Cali fornia. The family of eight moved to Carpinteria in 1959 when “Doc” Carty became superintendent of Carpinteria Unified School District. There, Bill was able to enjoy all manner of water sports, including surfing, swim ming, fishing, snorkeling, scuba, and boating. In his high school Chismahoo yearbook in 1966, many friends men tioned his big wave prowess, especially at Jelly Bowl, the neighborhood surf spot. Bernie Baker, a friend and future Surfer Magazine editor wrote: “To the best big wave rider with the most guts.” A neuro muscular disease became evident in his early teens that changed the course of his active life, and he turned to other pursuits with passion throughout his lifetime. He had an avid interest in rocks, unusual fishing lures, gems, shells, coins, and growing Cymbidium orchids. Bill espe cially loved fishing trips to Zihuatanejo, Mexico with various family members and friends, which he enjoyed for years until travel became too difficult. Bill was especially fond of the Zihuatanejo locals who welcomed him so warmly each trip. Weekly Sunday spins around town were a great source of pleasure for many years. Bill was indomitable in spirit, never complained about his condition, and, despite his physical limitations, led a very full life. He graduated California State University, Northridge with a degree in sociology and worked in the library at the Santa Barbara County Office of Ed ucation for almost 20 years. He was an avid reader and read a novel every two or three days for many years. He received loving care from all of his family members and caregiver which enabled him to live fully and remain in his home, where he enjoyed a beautiful garden with birds and butterflies, and visits from his little niece andThenephews.foundation of Bill’s life was his faith in his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was an active member of Faith Lu theran Church.

made it happen – not an easy feat con sidering how large her family was. But she always succeeded in bringing them together. She had a big heart especially when it came to her nieces and nephews. She took them in when they needed a parent figure in their life. She helped raise many of them, and was more like a mother to most. She made an impact everywhere she went. She made friends with any and everyone. She always tried to help and be a friend to anyone in a misfortunate situation. She was introduced to her future hus band by her cousin, Darlene Ortiz. Ever since that first encounter, they have been inseparable. They were married 30 years and created a multitude of priceless mem ories; the most precious gift of all was their beautiful daughter, Lorissa Lomeli. She was preceded in death by her parents Rose and Victor Maya, and her siblings Manuel Peralta, Frank “Chuco” Perez, David Perez and Hector Maya. She is survived by her five siblings: Olivia Woerz (Mark Woerz), Lorraine De Alba, Lisa Perez, Victor Maya Jr, and Dan iel Maya, and her husband Jaime Lomeli and daughter Lorissa Lomeli. She will forever be missed and always in our hearts.

If a cannabis retail enterprise is allowed to set up operations on Santa Claus Lane then is it not perhaps the right time to consider changing the name of the street to something more fitting? The historical association with the lane and our friend from the North Pole is now all but lost with the arrival of a marijuana/cannabis store being the last straw. Perhaps the lane could be called something more appro priate and less offending – perhaps High Avenue might be a more fitting name.

JanisCarpinteriaJohnson New name for Santa Claus Lane

The article says that YES on T2022 “looks to redesignate two parcels of land in Carpinteria.” The measure actually re affirms the zoning of one parcel and seeks to change the zoning of the other in order to prevent commercial development on the parking lot parcel. The ‘No on T’ committee claims that Measure T2022 messaging is “disingen uous.”Measure T 2022 has been fully trans parent in that it affects only two parcels of the General Plan. What has been dis ingenuous are the statements: housing will be built on the community garden and open space parcels in the city. Their statements of “could” have those impacts can only happen if the city council acted on the wording in the Measure with an otherTheresolution.committee also claims “this mea sure would upend the local decision-mak ing process.” In fact, this Measure gives the voter the opportunity to make their voice heard. Do the majority of voters want to keep these two parcels public land for public use and keep commercial development off public land?

This is in response to the (Vol. 28, No. 50) CVN article, “Locals form ‘No On T’ political action committee”. The “No on T” committee members have every right to organize to bring forth their views and engage in a debate on Measure T2022. However, several statements are factually incorrect or misleading.

Ceres cannabis cultivation proposal moves forward in 3-2 vote

County Planning Commission rejects appellants’ attempts to stop project BY ATMIKA IYER

Last week, the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission rejected three Carpinteria community members and institutions’ appeal of the planning com mission’s approval of the Ceres Cannabis Cultivation Farm. The three appellants, Mimi Mauracher, the Cate School and the Rose Story Farm, had filed with the commission to stop the cannabis farm project, citing several issues. With the appeal’s rejection, the project will now move forward.

See ContinuedPLANNINGonpage 9

The Ceres Cannabis Cultivation Farm is 16.77 acres. The Ceres Cannabis Cultivation Farm contains three greenhouses and a cannabis processing building.

The Ceres Farms Cannabis Cultiva tion’s project – located at 6030 Casitas Pass Road – includes 7.86 of mature plant cultivation, 1.43 acres of nursery cultivation and .21 acres of processing, for a total of 16.77 acres. Processing involves drying, trimming, packaging and storing cannabis within greenhouses. The appellants alleged five issues: The applicant made unauthorized changes to the project including a perimeter road and an expanded parking area, a noncompli ant and inadequate odor abatement plan (OAP), a lack of health risk assessments with the vapor phase system, violation of Coastal Land Use Policy 8-5 (CLUP 8-5) and a general project description that does not address traffic circulation or adequacy of septic system. Planning commission staff told plan ning commission board members that the project’s changes did not require permits, and that the OAP meets all standards and requirements and received certification from the Certified Industrial Hygienist. The staff report added that the va por-phase system formula was reviewed and was found to have no toxic air con taminants to pose health risks; CLUP 8-5 is inapplicable as no development or redevelopment is involved; and the description includes all information nec essary to approve the project. “In summary, the proposed project is consistent with all applicable county policies and standards including the Cannabis Ordinance, the Carpinteria Agricultural Overlay District, the Coast al land Use Plan and all elements of the Comprehensive Plan including the Land Use Element and the Agricultural Ele ment,” North County planner Ben Singer told the commission. Staff recommended denying the appeal. The appellants were content with a majority of the responses within the staff report to the issues they raised, with the exception of issue two: Odor. During the Aug. 31 meeting, the can nabis cultivation project off Casitas Pass Road became the object of ire for a larger

The Planning Commission heard an appeal on the Ceres Cannabis Cultivation Farm last week, seen at the white star on the map. “At the end of the day, I want the people of Carpinteria to think we’re doing the best we can to allow an industry to flourish that I think preserves agriculture there, but protects them as well as possible, and we do need to talk about standard operating procedures and types of scrubbers.”

–Commissioner John Parke issue – cannabis odor in Carpinteria and the impact of the odor on neighboring areas.“Today, we respectfully ask that the Planning Commission include regen erative carbon scrubbers technology in the Ceres Farm Odor Abatement Plan,” appellant legal representative Nicholas Targ“Thesesaid. odors have created issues and interference with business, with quality of life, with wellness and with the efficient operation of the Cate School and frankly also with the social dynamics that exist within the East end as I believe you will hear and you’re undoubtedly aware.” Dr. William Hahn from the Rose Story Farm spoke to the board about how the odor and FogCo vapor machines from the Ceres Cannabis Cultivation Farm impacted their business and health. Hahn said the odors drove business away as people would often complain about the smell of cannabis, but the larger issue was the impact on fellow appellant from Rose Story Farm Danielle Dall’Armi’s health. “ I think the vapor inhalations that we’ve had on a fairly regular basis speak more directly to her symptoms but they’re daily, they’re at times enough that she cannot function, can’t do her job, she has to actually leave the property,” Hahn said. Dall’Armi introduced herself to the board, apologizing for her hoarse voice. “Today, I am struggling a bit with my voice and my allergies, which my husband spoke to a bit, but I have been plagued by this and constant headaches for the last several years. The health impacts are critically important to us,” Dall’Armi said. The board members soon began ask ing questions and deliberated on how to vote on the appeal cases against the cultivation farm.

board member Laura Bridley agreed with Martinez’s assessment that the project’s Odor Abatement Plan (OAP) and said the county’s compliances address the issue sufficiently, and that the sources of the odor are difficult to ascertain.

“I also want to remind us that the OAP already does call for installation of carbon scrubbers if and when it is determined that they are needed,” Bridley said.

“I feel like it’s all about perspective and the lens someone is walking through in that moment of their life,” she told the Pacific Coast Business Times “I feel like I’m able to bring a different aspect to it, things I’m passionate about that make a difference.”

“I’m impressed by the people involved in this project. I’m impressed by how the project exists and the efforts made to do it.

“As sympathetic as I am with what the appellants have said today, and I don’t doubt a single thing that they’ve said, the dilemma that I think the county has is that it’s really tough to tell where it’s coming from.” Bridley added she was also in favor of the project proposal without any ad ditional provision regarding scrubbers.

I’m actually in favor of the way the project is being presented,” Martinez said.

“Tracking down where the odor comes from – is it this project, is it another project, is it guilt by association? Prob ably is in that situation,” Martinez said, commenting on the stigma surrounding cannabis.

“I am probably not in favor of adding the condition that requires carbon scrub bers now… because I believe the case as it sits now is actually well thought out,” Bridley said.

Back to the Roots: California Avocado Festival returns

Alarcon spoke to Pacific Coast Business Times about her role on the Carpinteria City Council, and her experience as the only mother and woman of color currently serving on the council. She was elected in 2020 and is currently halfway through her term, and said she feels she is able to bring a significant perspective to the council.

Third District planning commission board member John Parke started the discussion about odor abatement and possible solutions with scrubbers. “At the end of the day, I want the peo ple of Carpinteria to think we’re doing the best we can to allow an industry to flourish that I think preserves agricul ture there, but protects them as well as possible, and we do need to talk about standard operating procedures and types of scrubbers,” Parke said. In addition, Parke said that the project should include on-site housing to replace the mobile home the project will displace. Fifth district board member Vincent Martinez later concurred with Parke’s concern. “Project after project comes in and says, ‘Well as part of the project, we’re going to knock down this old farmhouse, we’re going to take out these mobile homes and so forth,’” Parke said. “We need to reverse this, we need to approve these projects and do it in a way that provides housing to people. I think that, if we don’t do that, it really is systemic racism. It’s an example of it and we need to fix that.” Martinez spoke about the difficulty of identifying the accurate origins of the odor and addressing the issue.

Martinez said he believes the project applicants have a thorough proposal which he is in favor of and doesn’t need any additional provisions.

Board Chair C. Michael Cooney put forth a motion to deny the appeals and added a provision concerning the man datory addition of carbon scrubbers to the project applicant’s plans to address vapors and odors. The board ultimately approved Cooney’s motion in a three-two vote, with Bridley and Martinez voting no as a result of Cooney’s added provision.

Carpinteria Mayor Wade Nomura recently visited Honduras on a service trip, evaluating water and sanitation projects.

The club is adding a new Pygmy goat project to enable younger members to start raising animals. The leadership team looks to continue serving the community through their various service learning projects. “We really want to encourage teamwork and be able to find success together,” Lopez said.

Carpinteria Mayor Wade Nomura recently traveled to Honduras on behalf of the Rotary Foundation to evaluate 34 water and sanitation projects in Tocoa and Trujillo, Colon in Honduras, to make recommendations for improving and expanding the projects.These projects were done in public primary and secondary schools, and benefit over 5,000 students from 5 to 18 years of age; projects included adding drinking water for the schools and communities, bathrooms with flushing toilets, handwashing stations for the schools and hygiene education for the schools and communities. These projects were done through Rotary and partnerships with the local munici palities. Rotary held meetings with local mayors and regional directors of education with the hopes of using these projects as models, and expanding to all schools in the region.“The project maintenance is supported through an assessment of each family of two dollars a month and includes maintenance of the facilities and drinking water. This cost can be justified as it used to cost five to eight dollars just for drinking water prior to this project,” Nomura told CVN.

Eureka! – a Girls Inc. of Carpinteria initiative – is an expanded learning five-year program that emphasizes college readiness, with a focus on introducing girls to careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. This year’s tour focused on three over arching themes: college and career; museums and monuments; and Capitol Hill. One of the highlights included meeting with Carbajal to advocate for issues that are important to the program, including climate change and LGBTQ+ rights. “This trip was so impactful for me because it taught me the importance of advocacy and having our voices heard on issues we need to change for the better,” Eureka! cohort member Viviana M. said. The girls, who just entered their high school senior years, had the opportunity to tour the Girlhood Exhibit at the Museum of American History, the Holocaust Museum, Museum of African American History, Museum of Natural History and the United States Botanical Gardens.

Jay Hotchner, the president of the Carpinteria Association of United School Employeess (CAUSE), has been placed on administrative leave from his teaching job in the district, he told CVN and members of the union last week. Hotcher did not provide a reason for why he was placed on leave; District Superintendent Diana Rigby said the district is not permitted to comment on personnel matters. Neither confirmed how long Hotchner would be on leave. According to Hotchner, a stipulation of his leave is a “gag-order” which prohibits him from communicating with district students, families, employees, administrators and board members. In an open letter from CAUSE addressing Hotchner’s leave, it states the union believes the action an attempt to “discredit” Hotchner. “The district attempts to discredit our Union President’s performance; not just in his role as CAUSE President and labor advocate, but in his roles as Middle School teacher of 20+ years, parent of District students, husband of a District employee and engaged community member working with a variety of community organizations,” the letter reads. The letter also alleged that by placing Hotchner on leave, the district was attempting to minimize the “impact of employees’ voices at the outset of the instructional year and in the middle of a clearly challenging collective bargaining cycle.” Members of the district and union met to bargain on Aug. 30 and 31 for issues such as compensation and beneﬁts forHotchneremployees.was issued two notices of unprofessional conduct in 2019, stemming from what the district considered to be inappropriate interactions with students, other employees of the district and a parent. A subsequent ruling from the Public Employee Relations Board (PERB) found in November 2021 that the district had retaliated against Hotchner.

Does your library card look like this?

September is National Library Card Sign Up Month and that is especially important for Carpinterians this year. On July 1, 2022, the City of Carpinteria began managing the Carpinteria Community Library. Now that Carpinteria has an independent library, we have our own library card that patrons must use to check out materials.Because the Santa Barbara Public Library (SBPL) withdrew from the Black Gold System, the SBPL card no longer works at the Carpinteria Library. The Carpinteria Community Library continues to be part of the Black Gold Cooperative Library System, making it possible to borrow materials from the other library jurisdictions in Black Gold, including Goleta, Lompoc, Santa Maria, Paso Robles and Santa Paula. All together the Black Gold system oﬀers close to half a million items for check out and sharing those resources is part of the value of being a Black Gold member. Other perks that come with the local library card include free access to the New York Times online, free eBooks (many of which can be read on a Kindle), free digital audiobooks, free online classes through LinkedIn and Coursera and others, access to learning platforms for school research, the ability to check out hotspots, State

Each year, the Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center invites local teens to participate in a teen mural project. In the focus of this year’s theme, “In My Life”, each teen took a piece of something from their life and turned it into art. Painted on 2’ by 2’ wooden panels, these drawings were put up by the arts center over the weekend, and its teen artists celebrated with a reception.

RIGHT, One such painting featured a girl reading a book.

ABOVE, “MY LIFE” created by Jonathan Hurst. Teen artists, led by famed local artist John Wullbrandt, far right, filled the wall with their 2’ by 2’ paintings.

Sixth grade student Amaya Kuryliw painted a bowl of Ukrainan Easter eggs, each symbolizing something special to her.

RANDY

Here’s a fun and different recipe for those end-of-the-season fresh tomatoes in your garden. It is a spicy takeoff of the classic Italian Caprese Salad. It includes fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. Then I substitute avocado slices for the basil leaves and add a spicy vinaigrette with chipotle adobo sauce and a touch of honey. When I first described it to Robin, she asked, “Why ruin a perfectly good Caprese salad?” One taste and she understood perfectly why One word of caution. Well, more than one word. Purchase a small can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and only use the sauce (not the peppers) unless you like it super spicy! This recipe makes two salads. The recipe may be doubled to serve four or more.

Directions: Combine the first eight ingredients (through garlic) in a mini food processor and process until smooth. Set this dressing aside.

Coastal View News • Tel: (805) 684-4428 Thursday, September 8, 2022  19 CHRISTIAN BEAMISH IT’S SURFINGALL CVN

A “Malibu” nine-footer at the jobsite that stands in front of the author’s home in Ventura.

About once a year I make it down to Malibu, just to touch in with the birthplace of contemporary surfing in Southern California, and, of course, to remember my Dad, who, if not one of the main players himself, was there nonethe less, and had friendships with the main guys and raised me with stories of those years. He was a man, incidentally, who enjoyed perfectly platonic friendships with women who otherwise might have made desirable romantic partners. While Rincon, as we all know, is gen erally a very crowded surf spot, Malibu has extra layers of humanity – from the German tourists on soft top surfboard rentals, to the gym-trained dudes work ing on their tans with bewildered looks on their faces when set waves steam through. On top of it all are many, many

Still, Lauren Hill in Australia, who, with her husband Dave Rastovich, does the excellent Waterpeople podcast, re cently posted, “I have refused to purchase my own copies because of the blatant exclusion of female surfers, writers, pho tographers, etc. from TSJ.” She follows with a survey of two recent issues that indeed show nary a female wave rider, but at least two photos of young women in bikinis (although these are from a 1960s photo retrospective).

The girls are all right

More illuminating even than Lauren’s initial Instagram post (@theseakin) are the 355 comments supporting her view, in increasing levels of vehemence, about the lack of female representation. Having just had a piece published in The Journal on channel bottom surfboards and the men who design them, I’d also made an Instagram post about being honored to participate in such a venerable magazine, and felt a momentary disconnect: “Wait a minute, aren’t we the good guys?” I thought. And I’ll admit to feeling a flash of defensiveness as well, perhaps not dis similar to the feelings of a minority of white men in this country who fear being “replaced,” or somehow diminished by the prospect of a United States of America that lives up to the promise of liberty and justice for all. To be clear however, my defensiveness never registered as anger, nor an urge to rally, nor intimidate or hurt anyone – so the white supremacists can go to hell. My own mental survey of The Journal from the last couple of years (and I have not combed the archives, relying instead on general impressions from reading each issue cover to cover) is that the general theme remains the same: mostly male, and mostly white. There have been no table exceptions, like the portfolio from a Mexican woman surf-photographer, and a feature on a great female surfer from the 70s who faded from the scene and still runs a tire repair shop on Kauai. There have also been two profiles of young women pro-surfers from Australia: one with an artistic punk rock aesthetic, and another who charges the heavy desert waves of Western OZ, but who (and whose fault is this?) is also a bikini model. The great Stephanie Gilmore is regularly featured in TSJ for her classic style – understated yet radical, and very Rinconesque if she wasn’t already from the right-point breaks in Australia. I say yes to women in surfing, and to women’s journalism and photography in The Surfer’s Journal, although it is not my call to make. It is a challenge putting together issues of the Journal that are fresh and unique, even with a twomonth lag between publications. I can also imagine (edging back into dangerous territory here) a tendency to not only have an unconscious bias towards the familiar (which is to say towards white and male) but also a resistance to putting female-centered work in the magazine to simply check a box or meet a quota of representation.Myexperience of surfing with women extends back to my early days in the 1980s in Newport Beach, when a young pro about five years my senior played a big sister role to me, taking me surfing with her throughout Southern Califor nia. More recently, I know three or four women regulars in the pack at high-tide Indicator, and we often say hello. There is also a larger pack of up-and-coming women too. I’m sure that any one of them would make a compelling subject for a profile in The Journal – and that’s not affirmative action, it’s just fact.

“My own mental survey of The Surfer’s Journal from the last couple of years (and I have not combed the archives, relying instead on general impressions from reading each issue cover to cover) is that the general theme remains the same: mostly male, and mostly white.”

very-capable surfers, a good number of them women. And there is something particularly elegant to a woman surfing a good point wave with style and flow. But then, it’s easy to come off as being condescending when commenting on the “other,” whether of the opposite sex, or race – as if by giving a compliment, or by acknowledging a talent, one makes him self the arbiter of what is, or isn’t, accept able, or even good. “The future is female,” is a slogan brought on by the former president’s poor form in describing his approach to women he finds attractive. But my wise and pragmatic wife says, “The future isn’t female, it’s equality.” She adds, “Otherwise, it’s the same old power structure.” I love that woman, and she’s a surfer too (even if she spends most of her time in the garden these days). So, at Malibu – on my somewhat exper imental 9’0”, in which shape I sought to combine Nat Young’s 1966 World Cham pionship board “Magic Sam” with the classic “Malibu Chip” circa 1952 (board works great, by the way) – amongst hun dreds of other point-sliding hopefuls, I noticed a couple of young women on interesting surf craft. One looked to be riding a 10’0” swallow tail glider, and another was on a shorter channel bottom Twin fin. With experience in both designs I thought to ask them how the boards were working. But the young woman on the 10’0” didn’t seem interested in talking – hard to say why, but that’s just how it Believeseemed.me please, my surf session at Malibu wasn’t about trying to talk to women about the boards they were rid ing. But anyway, at some point, paddling back out from a wave I’d taken all the way to the shore (with a fast-spinning section through the inside cobbles that had my board into the top gears), I noticed the young woman on the channel bottom Twin paddling in, then saw that it was a board that my friend Jacob Ells in Ojai had shaped. So, I asked her how she liked the design. She smiled big, and in a lovely Aussie accent said she absolutely loved it. And I smiled back and said something like, “his boards always look really good,” and kept paddling, you know, to avoid being the creepy guy in his fifties trying to chat up the surfer girl.

Christian Beamish took leave of his position at Coastal View News in October 2020, to pursue his surfboard business, “Surfboards California,” full time. He continues his monthly column, and shapes at the surf board factory showroom at 500 Maple Ave., in Carpinteria. The former Associate Editor of The Surfer’s Journal, Beamish is also the author of “Voyage of the Cormorant,” (Pata gonia Books, 2012) about his single-handed expedition down the coast of Baja California by sail and oar in his self-built Shetland Isle beach boat. He now lives with his wife and two children in Ventura.

It’s dangerous territory for the man who would try to argue against the claim that The Surfer’s Journal magazine vastly underrepresents women in surfing. But to be fair, even with the surge of women surfing in the past two decades, they remain far outnumbered by men in the “sport of kings” (if you’ll pardon the term).

A Southern Pacific boxcar brought Cipriano and Juventina Ramirez to the Carpinteria area in 1911. Now, 111 years later, some of their descendants are still here.Cipriano and Juventina both were born in Mexico and orphaned at an early age. They married in 1900 and lived in the town of Penjamo, where Cipriano worked as a baker and candymaker. In 1910 they moved to El Paso, and Cipriano went to work as a laborer for the Southern Pacific. In 1911, the railroad sent them and their two young daughters, Jessie and Antonia, by boxcar to Summerland, then moved them to a house near Rincon Point. Cipriano was assigned to keep the tracks clear along the Dulah section of the line, which started at Rincon Creek and ran about 10 miles toward Ventura. Landslides were frequent where the tracks hugged the cliff. Traveling by hand car, he would clear small slides himself and send for help to deal with bigger ones. When he needed to stop a train because of an obstruction, he would put blasting caps on the tracks. The explosions would alert the engineer to brake. At night, the children would watch for his lantern, so they would know he was nearly home. Around 1940, the railroad closed a spur at La Conchita, divided the parcel into house lots, and sold them. Employees got first choice. Cipriano and Juventina bought two lots for $200 each and moved there in During1941.World War II, their daughter Antonia’s husband, Joe Velasquez, was in the army. Antonia and her young chil dren, Joe Jr. and Danny, moved in with them in La Conchita. The boys once took some of their grandfather’s blasting caps and put them on the tracks to see if the train would stop. It did. “I think I got in trouble,” Joe Jr. says now.He also remembers that his grandfa ther killed a possum that had been attack ing the family’s chickens. That night they ate possum tacos. On the Fourth of July, the boys and their grandfather would march around La Conchita waving an American flag. Another grandchild, Rannei Wingo, says that her grandmother liked things done in a certain fashion. To clean the house, she always started in the front and worked her way to the back door, where she swept out the accumulated dirt and debris. “I still have to do that,” says Rannei. “Or I don’t feel the house is cleaned correctly.”Therailroad honored Cipriano when he retired in 1949. The Southern Pacific’s employee bulletin reported that he had kept his section of tracks “in such an im maculate condition that it has attracted the attention of officers and passengers traveling over the line.” Cipriano died in 1956, and Juventina died in 1961. They are buried in Calvary Cemetery in Santa Barbara. Two of their children, Daniel and Donaciano, died before the pair moved to California. They had seven additional children: Jessie, Antonia, Waldo, Fernando, Leslie, Theresa and Verna. Most ended up stay ing in Carpinteria, including two who spent their careers working for the Bates family; Antonia was a nanny, cook, and housekeeper for Robert W. Bates, and Fernando was the foreman of the Rincon del Mar Ranch. The last of the Ramirez children, There sa Rocha, died in 2019, a month before her STEPHEN BATES Cipriano and Juventina Ramirez’s grandson, Joe Velasquez Jr. of Carpinteria, holds his grandfather’s railroad lantern.

The Warriors’ busy week began with a quick trip to Santa Barbara Municipal Tennis Center to face Providence in the first match of the year for both teams. The new duo of Charlotte Cooney and Ariana Lounsbury opened up doubles action perfect at 3-0, only dropping four games the entire day. “It was Charlotte’s first match, but you will be seeing her and Ariana’s names each sport season, as Charlotte will be a three-sport star and Ariana already is a three-sport star,” Coach Charles Bryant said.In singles, Zahra Porinsh came alive in the last round against Providence’s top player, stealing six straight games and fin ishing 2-1 for the day. Both teams battled through closely contested sets throughout the day, but Providence ultimately pulled ahead for the 10-8 overall victory. “I was happy with how we performed overall,” Bryant said of the season opener. “We showed a lot of fight throughout and even after the match was decided. I am hoping that type of character will be a precursor of what is to come.”

Senior doubles player Ashley Gonzalez serves in a 3-0 day against Bishop Diego. Three-sport star Ariana Lounsbury lobs a return in a perfect 9-0 doubles week. The next day, Carpinteria hosted rival Bishop Diego and the Warriors earned their first win of the year, 15-3. The Cooney-Lounsbury duo went 3-0 for the second day in a row, with doubles partners Sasha Porinsh and Stephanie Ramirez following suit with a 2-0 sweep of their own. Ashley Gon zalez teamed up with Natalie Martinez to win two straight sets before team ing up with Alison Banks for another win. Sasha Porinsh and Maria Sanchez grabbed another doubles win to bring the Warriors to a perfect 9-0 on the day. “Our doubles were outstanding, but more so than the wins, I really felt we relaxed and we’re definitely more comfortable on the courts today, which made a huge difference in our confi dence, approach and execution,” Bryant said. “The more they play together, the stronger they will be down the road. “ Singles play was promising as well, with Zahra Porinsh finishing 3-0, Silke Leonard winning two out of three, and newcomer Olivia Broughton picking up the first win of her high school career in singles tennis. “[Olivia] is a battler and her footwork is great,” Bryant said. “She never takes a point off.” In the third match in three days, Carpinteria hosted a strong Viewpoint squad, and although the Warriors lost the non-league matchup 11-7, Coach Bryant said he thought the team played their “best overall match to date.” The Warriors were swept in singles play, but once again the Cooney-Loun sbury connection proved dominant in doubles, finishing perfect on the week at “They9-0.are communicating and mov ing well together, and they still have a lot of upside and room to grow,” BryantCarpinteriasaid. is now 1-2 overall and will begin Citrus Coast League play this week.

Santa Barbara Cancer Center final walk/ run fundraiser set for October

The Warriors notched their first victory for their new coach against Channel Is lands, with another dominant game by Alexander, who led the team with 12 kills.

“We only have one experienced player, so it will be a fun learning session for sure,” said Cook. “The best positive about a young and inexperienced team is that they haven’t had the chance to develop any poor habits yet.”

Warrior medalists, left to right: Ruby Cluderay, Belen Herrera, Edwin Hernandez, Itze Alvarado and Carel Bautista.

The Spartans keyed on Smith with double and triple teams on defense, but the star player was still able to score four goals. Main led the team with five scores; Griffin Yamaoka and Jake Ehlers each scored two goals; Eli Sheaffer scored one goal. Taff finished with 13 saves on the day.
