Lions laud Deputy Maupin
The Carpinteria Lions Club honored Deputy Dave Maupin of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department with its 2014 Public Service Officer Award. Maupin, who works out of the Carpinteria Substation, was nominated by Sergeant Garret Te Slaa for his excellent service to the community. “Deputy Maupin continues to excel at his ability to identify and proactively seek out and intervene in on-going criminal activity. During 2014, his ability to self-initiate contact with criminal suspects has no doubt prevented dozens if not hundreds of Carpinterians from becoming victims of crime,” stated Sergeant Te Slaa. At age 2, Maupin was adopted by a Las Vegas couple and moved to the United States from Malaysia. He grew up in the Las Vegas area then earned a degree in Computer Information Systems from Cal Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks in 2002. After a few years as a firefighter with the Forestry Division, Maupin joined the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office in 2005 working in Goleta, Carpinteria, in Court Services and back to Carpinteria, which he considers the best area to work in. He currently serves as a deputy and field training officer and aspires to one day become a sergeant. Lion and longtime chair of the Public Service Officer Award program, Jeff Moorhouse said, “I am very impressed with Deputy Maupin, his professionalism, his dedication to the job and his commitment to his family. Carpinteria is very lucky to have Deputy Maupin serving our community!”

Canalino teacher honored with Milken Educator Award
Brandon Sportel earns prestigious recognition and $25,000 BY PETER DUGRÉ
Canalino School teacher Brandon Sportel said he was nervous going to school on April 8. He was tasked with playing guitar during the school song for an assembly featuring special guest California Superintendent of Public Schools Tom Torlakson. The event would be big, the state’s top educator in a room packed with representatives of the school, school district and City of Carpinteria. Shortly after the assembly began, another special guest, Lowell Milken of the Milken Family Foundation, took the microphone. There was a secret reason the assembly had been called, Milken said, and after a cleverly crafted build up, he divulged that Sportel had been selected for the Milken Educator Award, a prize of $25,000, also known as “The Oscars of Teaching.” After the announcement, a thrilled Sportel was thrust into the spotlight. He said, “I came in with nerves ... nothing compares to the way I feel now.” The Milken Family Foundation had identified Sportel as a deserving teacher through its search, and according to Milken the award “is not a lifetime achievement award. We’re looking for individuals early in their career with the potential to accomplish
even greater things.” Sportel is a special education teacher for kindergarten through fifth-graders in Carpinteria Unified School District, where he has worked for 10 years. He was also recently awarded as a Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce Educator of the Year for 2014. In his comments, Sportel shared the glory. He works with “the most loving and caring people,” he said, and “Those are the type of people I need to work with in order to accomplish what I want to do.” The students, as well, he said, keep him fresh. “I’m always surprised and am always learning from my students.” An integral part of the award is the assembly and exposure, meant to draw attention to educators as deserving and influential individuals. “I believe that teachers and principals have the most important job in our country,” Milken said. “We celebrate sports figures and entertainers ... but the teaching profession has not been part of that celebration. I find that very odd. Greatness in education should be recognized too.”

briefly
Vons conversion bumped back to mid-June
The Carpinteria Vons at 850 Linden Ave. will transform into a Haggen grocery store a few months later than initially announced. The conversion is now set to begin on Thursday, June 18. Haggen officials expect the local store will be back open under the Haggen banner on the afternoon of Saturday, June 20. Haggen, a Pacific Northwest grocery chain, purchased 146 stores owned by Safeway and Albertsons, including the Carpinteria Vons store, which is part of the Safeway company. The transaction was a divestment process brought about by the Federal Trade Commission’s review of the pending Albertsons and Safeway merger. A Carlsbad store was converted to the first California Haggen in mid-March.

Santa Barbara County holds budget workshops
The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will hold its third and last budget workshop on Friday, April 10 beginning at 9 a.m. in the County Administration Building, 105 East Anapamu Street in Santa Barbara. The board will hear from county departments on their major work initiatives and draft 2015-16 budgets. The workshops provide an early opportunity for input prior to completion of the Recommended FY2015-16 Budget and Proposed FY2016-17 Budget, to be released in early May. Final budget decisions will be made at budget adoption meetings in June, but this month’s workshops allow for early input in the process. “Overall, the County’s financial outlook is improving and continues to be positive. Revenues are modestly improving and pension costs, one of the drivers of the County’s budget challenges in the recession, have stabilized,” said County Executive Officer Mona Miyasato. There are fewer budget reductions proposed this year within departments than in previous years but other issues are expected to have financial impacts, such as the increase in cost for inpatient mental health beds and loss of state funding for roads, as a result of lower gas tax revenue. At the April 10 meeting at 11 a.m., members of the public will have an opportunity to speak to the board regarding requests from community organizations, which will be formally heard on June 12.

Film puts water woes in focus By Lea Boyd
After producing blockbuster films in Hollywood for years, Steve Nicolaides decided in 2013 to point a camera at his emerging passion: water in the west, or its lack thereof. He captured conversations with people closely connected to water resources and stitched them together to create “Eyes on the Sky,” a documentary designed to both inform viewers and provoke further dialogue about the disappearing resource. Carpinterians will be treated to a screening of the film during the Water Security Symposium on Sunday, April 19 at 3 p.m. at Plaza Playhouse Theater, 4916 Carpinteria Ave. Nicolaides’ T-shirt and shorts style and down-to-earth manner belie his big screen credentials. Before turning his attention to water, he amassed a film resume that includes the likes of “When Harry Met Sally,” “A Few Good Men” and “Misery.” He and his wife, Caroline Thompson, who wrote the screenplays for “Edward Scissorhands” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” lived on a 90-acre horse ranch in Ojai when they started to realize that their lifestyle was out of sync with their beliefs about resource consumption. The couple moved to Carpinteria around the time that Nicolaides began filming his documentary. They remodeled their new home with an aim to curtail water use. When Nicolaides launched his “Eyes on the Sky” project, he felt compelled to use his craft to raise awareness and generate discussion among the regular Joes who turn on and off their taps every day without pausing long to consider where water comes from and where it goes. In the war that is being fought for water, Nicolaides recognized, these people make
few venues, and Nicolaides said that this month’s water symposium is precisely the kind of community event that he envisioned for it. The filmmaker hopes that the audience will walk out of the theater with a new sense of urgency. “This is very serious,” he said. “I have two granddaughters living in the west, and I want them to have a fighting chance at the good life that I’ve had here.” Donna Jordan, a member of Carpinteria Beautiful and one of the water symposium’s organizers, said that she watched the movie twice already for her own edification. “(Nicolaides) has a way of putting his interview subjects at ease and extracting interesting information that might otherwise be held back,” she said. “The film doesn’t pretend to have all the answers, but it surely raises awareness and questions about our long term water problem, and it motivates people to ask how they can be part of the long term solution.”
Water Security Symposium
In his cinematographic water journey, filmmaker Steve Nicolaides captures footage of the Dismal River in Nebraska. up the strongest army. “We need to find a different way to live in the west,” he said. One big issue is simply overpopulation of an arid environment. When the Hoover Dam was built in 1935, there were 7 million people in Nevada, Arizona and California. The same three states now house 47 million. But, as Nicolaides said, the curse of population could also be a
savior. If everyone used half as much water, the savings would be tremendous. Another issue is water intensive agriculture. Thirsty crops rely on water inputs that the natural environment cannot begin to provide. “Water brings gold,” Nicolaides said, “and gold doesn’t care about the environment.” “Eyes on the Sky” has screened in a

State Water leaves locals high and dry
I read with interest last week’s article about the proposed water rate increase, “Local water shortages projected.” I’m always surprised that the payoff for our water conservation is higher rates. (For this I gave up hot showers and my vegetable garden?!) I was even more amazed to find out that we need more money so we can “... purchase State Water and spot market water and campaign for water conservation.” Purchase State Water? What has a huge percentage of my water bill been going for, the “right” to purchase State Water? Somewhere, someone is making millions off of State Water and I’d like to know who that is? If you ask the Carpinteria Valley Water District about State Water you get a vague reply and an assurance that we will have to pay premiums on our water bills until 2027. Not since Enron has there been a bigger boondoggle. When we voted for State Water we were told that this was our insurance in case of drought. Now we are in the middle of a drought and we are told that we must pay for water again and again until 2027. Something is very wrong with this picture. I’m also disturbed by the fact that I will be paying for a campaign for water conservation even though water conservation will result in higher rates for me. Seems to me that I’m getting screwed twice with this, and heaven knows how many more times with State Water.
Carole Soden Carpinteria
If you build it, the water will come?
The front page of both the Los Angeles Times and the Santa Barbara News-Press on April 2 were about water: “Brown gets tough on water,” “Mandatory restrictions.” Then, on page 3 of Coastal View News, April 2, “Local water shortages projected.” This is nothing most of us don’t know. However, in the section “City Hall News” under community development we have “Bluffs Development Activity.” It seems to me that quite a bit of developing is going on and my question is: Where is the water coming from? Are we putting the horse in front of the cart? Please inform the citizens of Carpinteria why we need to cut our water use, pay a higher water rate and then the city is going to let more development go in, which will require more water. Sorry, but it doesn’t make any sense to me.

New station site appraisal on par with old
Regarding the letter “Measure Z raises eyebrows” published in the April 2 issue of Coastal View News: I want to thank Janis Grimont for informing the public that there is a land agreement in place between the Carpinteria Summerland Fire Protection District and the Santa Barbara County Mosquito and Vector Management District. The intent of the agreement
is for the fire district to purchase the MVMD property at 2450 Lillie Ave. at the current market valuation of the property. C In 2009, as part of the due diligence process, a market appraisal was performed M on the MVMD site, as well as the CSFPD Summerland fire station property. These Y appraisals were intended to confirm the CM comparable values of the two properties, not to set a sales price for either property, MY since the funding mechanism turned out to be six years in the future. The 2009 CYappraisal established that the two properties CMY were fairly comparable in value, which would allow the sale of the Summerland K fire station property to cover the purchase cost of the MVMD property. I can assure Ms. Grimont and the rest of the constituents in the district, that an updated appraisal will be performed to assist in setting the sales price once the funding is secured. Performing an appraisal prior to the approval of the funding mechanism, in the opinion of the fire board at the time, was deemed to be an unnecessary expense that would only need to be repeated upon the approval of Measure Z.

Ben Miller Fire board member 2006-2014
If firefighters aren’t safe, no one is safe
Vote yes on Measure Z. This is not a tax issue or a budget issue. This is a safety issue. Think of it as a small addition to the fire insurance premium for your home. Fires are a major problem after earthquakes. If the fire stations even partially collapse during an earthquake, the fire trucks can be trapped and our firefighters cannot perform their function as first responders. Measure Z is a facilities improvement bond that we should immediately approve. As an engineer for over 45 years, I have been involved in hundreds of seismic upgrades in our community, and I can assure you that Measure Z is money well spent.
Robert Sedivy Carpinteria
The right choice is yes on Z
For the first time its history, the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District is asking for the help of those they protect by passing Measure Z. After reviewing the provisions of Measure Z and seeking out information regarding the need for this $10.65 million bond, I have concluded that Measure Z is absolutely vital to the continued health and safety of our communities. In a nutshell, Measure Z will make sure our firefighters and paramedics have the proper equipment and facilities to do their job. It is simply unreasonable to have our first responders working in antiquated and unsafe facilities. It is very apparent that the CSFD has always been fiscally prudent and the board has done its due diligence in bringing Measure Z to the voters. I urge you to invest in the safety of our communities by returning your mail ballot with a yes vote on Measure Z.

Natural History Notes
Authoritative sources sometimes vary considerably in providing vital statistics for pinnipeds. Generally, harbor seal weights are approximately 130 to 180 pounds, with males generally larger and some sources saying males may weigh up to 300 pounds. California sea lion males may reach over 1,000 pounds, and females perhaps around 300 plus. Steller sea lions, which are occasionally seen in Santa Barbara waters, are the largest of the “eared” sea lions; males can reach 2,500 pounds and females around 700. Elephant seal males may exceed 5,000 pounds, and females up to around 1,800 pounds.
More Info
The Carpinteria harbor seal rookery is located immediately east of Casitas Pier, between the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve and Carpinteria State Beach. Please remember not to bring dogs, bicycles or loud voices to view the seals. Harbor seals, when disturbed, may flee and become separated from their pups. Volunteers ask that dogs remain outside the rope area at all times. Call 684-2247 or email sealwatch@hotmail.com if you are interested in volunteering.

A reader sends a halo to Zookers for winning Burger Madness. “In all the years I’ve enjoyed meals at Zookers, I’ve never had their burger. I will now though. We are very lucky to have such a fine restaurant in our community.” A reader sends a halo to meteorologists who really nailed it with their rain prediction this week. “Bring on the May flowers!” A reader sends a halo to the staff at Carpinteria Community Pool. The 6 a.m. staff of Dylan, Ryan, Morgan, Tess and Tamara are great. “All the early morning swimmers are so impressed by these employees who are always punctual, professional and helpful.” A reader sends a halo to Larry Donovan for having the sidewalks fixed in front of Saint Joseph Catholic Church so the reader won’t trip on them now. “Thank you.” A reader sends a halo to the Girl Scouts for a delicious bake sale last Saturday, and to Bruce, Mia and Rory for providing bookstore staff with some of those treats. A reader sends a halo to Jack at Hurley Optical who did an emergency eyeglass repair on short notice for his “rich lady” visitor late on a Friday—at no charge. A reader sends a halo to Thelma Schmidhauser, and in honor of poetry month, for her seasonal poems displayed at the Friends of the Library Used Book Store. “They are world class!” A reader sends a pitchfork to the waiter at a local café who was rude and disrespectful while working under pressure. A reader sends a pitchfork to employees in the industrial area on Carpinteria Avenue who wash their own cars and trucks, which wastes copious amounts of our precious water. A reader sends a pitchfork to the makers of Easter Bunny costumes. “Why must they all be more appropriate for horror films than gatherings of small children?” A reader sends a pitchfork to people who park illegally in their cul de sac. “You are supposed to park parallel to the sidewalk, not vertical.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the people setting fires on the Franklin Trail. “We are so lucky to have access to the backcountry. Don’t ruin it for all of the hikers who love the trail.” A reader sends a pitchfork to a local condo complex for continuing to water the lawns—and sidewalks—during the drought. “Don’t you know gold is the new green?”

The public is invited to attend free, farmer-guided tours on Saturday of seven flower farms located in the Carpinteria Valley. Participating growers include Ever-Bloom, Gallup & Stribling Orchids, Myriad Flowers, Ocean Breeze International, Pianta Bella, Westland Orchids and Produce and Westerlay Orchids.

AWARD continued from page 1 Milken awards have been given to 2,600 recipients over 28 years across the United States. The money is an unrestricted gift to recipients. Carpinteria resident and retired Cate School teacher Sanderson Smith earned a Milken Education Award in 1988 and was among other past recipients in attendance. Many past recipients spoke of the great honor and opportunity bestowed with the award, which also places the teachers in a network of winners who strive to continue to improve their craft and act as leaders in education. Smith noted that he taught current Canalino
School Principal Jamie Persoon when she was in high school. Sportel said he considers himself an envelope pusher in education and thanked the local administration for supporting his ambitions as an educator. He highlighted the importance of the new statewide emphasis being placed on social/emotional education and teaching the whole student. Milken said, “(Sportel) indeed has a commitment and unwavering belief that every child can learn and reach their potential.”

wardrobe wisdom LORI COOPER
It’s the little things
Spending time with my cousin Gina is always entertaining. She comes from a family in the “beauty business,” as her dad called it. At one time or another, she, her sister, brother and mom all worked in his hair salon. When we are together, Gina comments on people’s hair and makeup, expressing how she would color someone’s hair lighter, telling me a woman should wear pink instead of red lipstick, or that a man would look better with shorter hair. At the same time she is doing her mental beauty makeovers, I am conducting my own, concerning clothing and style. We cannot help ourselves! Most of the time, my mental makeovers are not very involved. Today I will share what goes on in my head when I am out and about; perhaps you will be motivated to take action on some of my modest suggestions and advice. One of the easiest ways to look better is to stand up straight. Clothing is designed to be worn on an erect, non-slouching person. Therefore, your clothes will look their best when you are holding yourself upright, with your shoulders back and your stomach held in. Tomorrow morning, get dressed and look at yourself in the mirror twice: once slouching and once standing up straight. What a difference! At least once a day I notice how a simple alteration could make a garment look much better. How about those pants you’ve been talking about hemming for months (years)? Are they still sitting in your closet, waiting for that mythical door-to-door tailor to come around? Or are you wearing them, the hems dragging on the ground, getting frayed and dirty? Or perhaps you are cuffing them, but they don’t look right. Put them in your car—in the passenger seat—and stop at the nearest dry cleaners. Try them on for the alterations person, return in a few days, and voila: hemmed pants! Maybe you have a skirt or dress that needs hemming as well. Before taking it to be altered, make sure its length is what is keeping you from wearing it. Once you have determined that is the reason, decide what length you want it, and take it to the cleaners. You will be delighted when your “new” clothes are tailored and ready to wear. Sometimes shabby-looking shoes or scuffed up bags can ruin the look of an ensemble. I’ve seen many professional men and women who look put together, until I look at their shoes. Shoes are what make or break an outfit. So take care of them and your purses or briefcases by having them
repaired and polished. Leather belts, which are frayed or worn, can also benefit from the hands of a leather expert. I take mine to Ablitt’s Fine Cleaners in Santa Barbara and to Santa Barbara Luggage, but I know others have their favorite cobblers. Ask your friends, salespeople or local cleaners for recommendations. I’m always surprised at how little thought women give to their undergarments. Oh, how I am tempted to offer advice on getting a proper bra fitting when I see someone in an ill-fitting one. Since the bra is wrong, anything the woman is wearing on top does not fit well or look good either. Furthermore, it cannot be comfortable. Here is some advice on how to get a good bra, from In Style magazine: 1. The band should sit snugly around the rib cage. As your bra stretches out, move the clasp inward. 2. The signs of an ill-fitting cup include puckering, gapping, wire that digs, and, of course, the dreaded double boob. 3. You should be able to put two fingers comfortably under your straps. The band, not the straps, should be holding up your bra. 4. Branch out and try some new styles when you go bra shopping. Your old standby may be great, but there could be others out there that are just as great if not better. Finally, maybe you just need to adjust the straps on the bra to give you more lift. Now, that is an easy fix. My final mental makeover tip concerns ironing. I realize this is not everyone’s favorite chore, but an ironed garment instantly makes it look fresh and more expensive. If you detest ironing and can afford it, have your clothes professionally pressed. If you know you will not iron your clothing, don’t kid yourself and think it looks okay wrinkled. It doesn’t. So stop purchasing clothes that require pressing. I don’t do the mental makeovers I used to do in my teens with a friend at the mall. Those ones consisted of catty comments and outrageous solutions. Today, I want to offer simple-to-achieve recommendations. I’m here to help. Former writing teacher Lori Cooper has turned her love of shopping and style into a career. Through her consulting company Wardrobe Wisdom, Lori works with her clients to update their style for their professional and personal lives.

The Easter Bunny made an early stop at Albertsons on April 3, a warm up for the big Sunday hop about. Bunny dropped over 500 eggs, and local spring breakers descended on the store for a chance to meet their furry friend and find the sweet treats in colorful containers. Albertsons has become an annual hot spot for egg hunters.

Alien invasion
A few months ago I was snorkeling with some friends in the Caribbean and we came across a lionfish. I’ve seen lionfish in tropical fish tanks, but never in the wild and I was surprised to come across one because they are native to the Indo-Pacific. When I got home I looked up lionfish and discovered that in the Atlantic Ocean, they are considered a threat to the environment. When nonnative plants and animals negatively impact the environment, they are called invasive species. Invasive species are not new to the planet. Since people started traveling longer distances with plants and animals, we have introduced things to environments that out compete the native species. Often, like in the case of the lionfish, this is because there is no natural predator to stop the spread of these non-natives. California has beautiful flora and fauna not found anywhere else in the world. But over time, plants like cape ivy and Arrundo donax (from South Africa and eastern Asia, respectively) have been planted in people’s yards and spread into the local environment. You only have to walk along Carpinteria Creek to see cape ivy choking trees and native plants to understand how non-native plants can become a problem. While something like releasing your goldfish into the local stream seems harmless, it can actually have a detrimental effect on the local habitat. Carpinteria Creek is home to the tidewater gobi, a small fish listed as endangered that inhabits coastal lagoons and streams. Introducing a non-native species that will not only out compete the gobi for food, but could also eat the smaller fish, could wipe out the tidewater gobi population in Carpinteria Creek. While that hasn’t happened in this case yet, it is a very real concern. Invasive species are one of the largest threats to threatened and endangered species. They can carry diseases, out compete native plants and animals for food or habitat, and prey on them and their young. Arrundo donax, a large reed like plant, is one of the fastest growing terrestrial plants in the world, but it has no known habitat benefit in the United States. Because it grows so fast, native plants often fail, which in turn effects the animals that rely on those natives. Locally, the Santa Barbara County Agricultural Commissioner’s office has worked hard to eradicate Arrundo from our creeks and other water bodies, but often invasive species are nearly impossible to get rid of entirely. There can also be an economic impact associated with invasive plants and animals. Commercial fishing, agriculture and recreational activities all depend on healthy ecosystems. In October, I wrote about the coast live oak and the threats it faces from invasive plants and

It takes one to know one… As a real estate professional, I need to know others in the field that “have the right stuff”. It takes a team of professionals to complete a successful sale or purchase of property. Though I lead the way working directly with buyers and sellers, I know that they are going to need a great escrow officer, home inspector, insurance provider and lender. One such lender is Alpine Mortgage and I am very happy with their Branch Manager and representative, Chris Fenoglio, who I have worked with many times.
Chris Fenoglio
In my most recent sale of 1473 Anita here in Carpinteria that closed escrow this week, he demonstrated, once again, his excellent attention to detail, his thorough follow up with the buyer we were representing and his consistent communication through out the pre-qualification process when the buyer was looking for a property and the escrow period to get final loan approval for the buyer.
Invasive Cape Ivy grows throughout Carpinteria Valley, competing with natives for soil and sunlight. the goldspotted oak borer. Oaks are an iconic tree in Southern California, and our woodlands would be completely different without them. Similarly, fish like the Asian carp (freshwater) and lionfish (saltwater) are spreading so quickly that the native species fished commercially are disappearing. Humans introduced invasive species to native environments, and there are things we can do to help stop the invasion. Before planting something in your yard, check to make sure it is not listed as an invasive species. You can look plants up on a number of websites, such as invasivespeciesinfo.gov. Natives are always a great choice for any yard, as they are adapted for the local environment and provide habitat. And before getting a pet, think about it. Are you willing to keep that animal for its entire life? Snakes, turtles, different types of fish and birds, even cats and dogs, can all have a negative impact on the environment if released into the wild. If you travel to a foreign country, make sure you don’t bring any unwanted travelers home with you. I know a lot of people think about bugs, or with boats mussels, but plants hitch rides too. Walking through a field in another country, your clothes will pick up seeds of the local plants. If you don’t wash your travel gear and clean your shoes, you could be bringing home a guest unexpectedly. Erin Maker is the Environmental Coordinator for the City of Carpinteria.

Warriors and Rams race at No Foolin’ Track Meet PHOTOS BY BILL AND ROSANA SWING Originally scheduled as a dual crosstown meet, the spring break No Foolin’ track meet at Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium on April 1 morphed into a mini-invite, a warm up for the full slate of big meets that will fill the stadium over the next month. Oak Park, Foothill Tech, Villanova and Thacher joined Cate and Carpinteria High School for the competition. Annalisa DeAlba of CHS and Joel Serugo of Cate were the top local finishers. DeAlba won both the shot put (29-11 ¼) and discus (89-09) to continue her early season successes. Serugo finished second in the 100m in 11.62 seconds, behind Oak Park’s Nick Nguyen (11.45). Third-place
finisher, Cate’s Iman Fardghassemi, trailed them in 11.91. Serugo won the long jump with a jump of 21-09 3/4 feet, and Fardghassemi finished second with a 19-08 ½ foot leap. Serugo also won the triple jump (43-09 ½). Warrior Gabi Montes De Oca placed second in the triple jump (29-09 ¼). Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium will be its usual bevy of spring excitement in the coming weeks with Russell Cup on April 18, the Santa Barbara County Championships on April 25, the Tri-Valley League Finals on May 7 and the CIF Prelims on May 16.
Warrior hurdler Gabi Montes De Oca placed fourth in the 100m hurdles and second in the triple jump on April 1.

Rams drop two preseason games
Revo, Smith, Khurshid are bright spots as team preps for Frontier League Cate School baseball suffered two consecutive losses, but according to assistant coach Dave Soto, the team showed several positives despite the scoreboard. The Rams lost an error-riddled home game 16-5 against heavy-hitting College Prep on April 3 after coming up short in a 7-6 loss to St. Monica Academy in Glendale on March 31. When College Prep came to town, the Rams struggled to find the strike zone and had too many defensive miscues— nine walks and five errors—that proved too costly to overcome. The Cougars added 18 hits in their 16-run romp. Humza Khurshid scored twice for Cate and reached base 4-of-5 times at bat. Joel Revo had an RBI double in the first inning. Dean Smith also recorded an RBI and a hit for the afternoon. Duffy Montgomery had two hits and scored two runs for the Rams. Khurshid, Djata Nyaawie and Jake Dexter-Meldrum all saw time on the hill for the Rams. Edward Lee was a bright spot for the Rams in the outfield, turning in some great plays on the afternoon. On March 31 in Glendale, the Rams dropped a close contest to the St. Monica
Academy Crusaders. The Rams fought back late but came up short in a 7-6 nonleague contest. The Crusaders struck first by pushing a run across on a suicide squeeze in the second inning. Dean Smith led off the fourth inning with a double. Djata Nyaawie then hit a rocket that got under the glove of the shortstop. Jake DexterMeldrum cleaned it up with a two-RBI double to left field and would later come around to score on two balks. The Crusaders posted a three-run fifth inning fueled by Ram errors and bad bounces. In the sixth, the Crusaders took the lead with a walk and two hits. Cate showed its grit in the top of the seventh. Humza Khurshid walked and Joel Revo lined a single up the middle. Smith followed up with an RBI single and after an intentional walk to Nyaawie and a walk to Ryder Dinning, the Rams had the potential game-tying run on third with two outs. Unfortunately for Cate, that’s as close as they would get. Revo pitched 4 2/3 innings, struck out two, walked one and allowed one unearned.

Requejo opted out of attending UCLA to join the Club Tijuana professional soccer team last summer. Requejo had been part of the US U20 squad that won the CONCACAF U20 Championship in Jamaica in order to qualify for the World Cup. He played every minute of that tournament and will be part of Team USA during the World Cup.

The house that Heath built
in the 1840s, a young russel Heath came down with gold fever and joined the masses of men who journeyed to California to strike it rich. Gold mining never paid off substantially for the New york native, but he did amass wealth and respect as one of the early American settlers of Carpinteria. Heath caught a glimpse of santa Barbara County on his quest for gold and returned to the area, eventually claiming the titles of district attorney, sheriff and legislator. in 1858, he purchased 52 acres of land in Carpinteria at a price of $336. He added to his holdings until they amounted to 200 acres of overgrown, undeveloped land. in 1862, he decided to leave his position as DA (for the second time around) to focus on his Carpinteria ranch. According to an article in The Carpinteria Herald by Albertina rodriguez, Heath cleared the property and built an adobe home for himself in 1858 as well as a winery and brandy distillery. He planted 1,000 grapevines, in addition to oranges, lemons and walnuts. in the 1880s, Heath had cultivated the largest walnut orchard in the state. the modest Heath adobe was replaced with a three-story, Victorian mansion (shown above) in 1881. Heath lived in the home until his death in 1911. When the old Heath mansion was demolished in 1972 to make way for a housing subdivision, workers discovered that parts of the original 1858 adobe had CArPiNteriA VAlley MuSeuM of HiStory been incorporated into a wing of the home and concealed under clapboard siding. As the nation gears up for March Madness (starting March 19), CVN the Carpinteria Valley Historical society stepped in to negotiate with developthought it would be appropriate to stoke the fire of excitement with an ers and the City of Carpinteria to preserve what was left of the adobe and create image Carpinteria’s version of highly competitive basketball.

James (Will Ferrell) is rich. How rich? Well, when James’ fiancée tells him she thinks they should get a bigger house, her voice echoes down the corridors of their enormous mansion replete with arches and balconies and fountains and servants busy making it all sparkle. That’s how rich. In “Get Hard,” James wants for nothing. He is a day trader who spins gold from straw. If he wanted to, he could swim in his money a la Scrooge McDuck. That is, until the feds show up and charge him with fraud. James promises he didn’t do it, and he is sure his team of lawyers will get him off. But he is wrong. Then he thinks at least he will be safe in a minimum-security, white-collar resort prison. Wrong again. The judge decides to send a message and gives James 30 days before he has to report to San Quentin, a maximum-security prison teeming with murderers and rapists. James is concerned. Surely his delicate, pampered frame will not withstand the hardships of prison. If he is going to survive, he needs to get hard. So he goes to Darnell (Kevin Hart), the only black guy he knows. Actually, he doesn’t even really know him. They just ran into each other one day in a parking garage. James thought Darnell was trying to rob him. But cooler heads prevailed, and James promised he would have had the same reaction if Darnell were white. But, given that Darnell is black, James does assume that he has been to prison and is therefore quite hard. So he offers to pay Darnell $30 grand to turn him into a bruiser. Darnell needs the money. So he agrees to help. The problem: Darnell is not hard. He has never been to prison. He has never committed a crime. He knows nothing about gangs, toughness, fighting or surviving prison. He is an average, middle class family man who owns a small business. But, again, Darnell needs the money. So he plays along, acting like he knows what he is talking about, and putting James through his paces. James is a joke at first, big surprise. He can barely handle trash talk, let alone faux solitary confinement or a mild beating. His case looks hopeless. Yet, over time, in his own silly and peculiar way, James starts to get a little a tougher, a little more savvy and just a little bit harder. His trash talk is weird, but effective. He still cannot take a beating, but he weirds people out enough to
keep them at bay. All the while further details about his case are emerging. The closer James gets to going to jail, the closer he gets to figuring out why, and the closer he gets to being able to demonstrate his innocence. But time is running out. Now, I should say, before seeing “Get Hard,” I was 100 percent committed to panning it. I pictured myself writing something like, “This movie is just a gimmick,” or “Every good joke is in the trailer. So don’t waste your time,” or “Just another goofy Will Ferrell movie exploiting his lumpy white male lameness.” Now after seeing the movie, I admit that I have lost some of my resolve. Everything I was going to say is probably still true. The movie is a gimmick. It is one-dimensional. And so much of it does trade on the deep biological incongruence between Ferrell’s pasty body and the demands of being hard. But this movie is also kind of funny. Ferrell and Hart are charming, and they do have good chemistry. The jokes are extraordinarily predictable. But they are well executed and easy to chuckle at. So although “Get Hard” is a bad movie, it is a bad movie that is tough not to like just a little. “Get Hard” is rated R for pervasive crude and sexual content and language, some graphic nudity and drug material. Matt Duncan, a former Coastal View News Editor, has taken physical but not emotional leave from Carpinteria to attend University of Virginia for a Ph.D. in philosophy. In his free time from philosophizing, Duncan enjoys chasing his kid around, watching movies, and updating his movie review blog, duncansreeldeal.blogspot.com.

Olympic swimmer regales Morning Rotary
Jeff Farrell shared his life’s journey as a swimmer with the Morning Rotary Club last week. In 1959 he was the world’s fastest swimmer and won two gold medals in the Olympics. He said his coach taught him the life lessons that gave him strength and direction. Two of his favorites are, “It’s not what happens to you, it’s what you do about it that counts” and “Don’t be a wishbone swimmer, be a backbone swimmer.” Farrell recently published a book called “My Olympic Story: Rome 1960.”
