Measure Z fails to ignite
Busted!
Fire bond goes down with 55 percent approval
Measure Z, the $10.65 million bond measure to fund a pair of fire stations in Carpinteria and Summerland, was shot down in a mail-in election on May 5. A twothirds majority was needed to pass the measure, but preliminary results from the Santa Barbara County Elections Office indicate 54.82 percent in favor and 45.18 percent opposed. The results include 2,875 ballots, 31 percent of the 9,303 registered voters in the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District. Additional ballots that were mailed by May 5 and received by May 8 will be counted toward the final total. The elections office plans to certify the results on Monday, May 11 and post the certified results by 4 p.m. Bond sales from the measure would have funded a new station in Summerland, estimated to cost $5 million, and a remodeled station in Carpinteria for about the same amount. Proponents of the measure argued that Summerland’s existing station is too old and too small to hold necessary firefighting apparatuses and is seismically unsound. Plans for a new station in Summerland already had received county permitting, and the district has a willing seller for a property on the corner of Lillie Avenue and Temple Street. Opponents, however, argued that the pricetag and size of the proposed station were exorbitant. Plans for the Carpinteria station on Walnut Avenue were less defined. The district wished to bring up the 50-year-old station to modern emergency building standards and to equip the building with training facilities that are now lacking. The urgency to replace the existing building was questioned, however, along with the price.

From left, Jill Castro, Diane Lopez and Penny Gilbert keep the good times rolling while the dealer flips cards for Casino Night on May 2. The annual event, a fundraiser for Rotary Club of Carpinteria Morning, is always packed with laughs. This year’s theme was a 1950s sock hop, which drew poodle skirts, letterman’s jackets and polka dots from the depths of local closets. The Rincons kept the dance floor filled, and the silent auction sent dozens home with new toys. For more photos, turn to pages 16 and 17.
Cruz to be honored at Boys & Girls Club Auction Thousands of local lives have been positively impacted by Louise Cruz over the last four decades. The longtime supporter of Carpinteria Boys & Girls Club, whose involvement with the club’s annual auction began in its first year, 1984, will be recognized as this year’s honorary chair, an accolade she has earned dozens of times over. “(Cruz) has been a loyal and generous supporter of our organization for over 38 years,” stated Jamie Collins, unit
Louise Cruz is neck deep in preparations for this year’s Boys and Girls Club Auction on May 16.
director at the Carpinteria Boys & Girls Club. “What began as simple volunteering while her kids participated in sports programs at our Boys & Girls Club in Goleta has grown to be a countywide impact.” Cruz shifted her focus from the Goleta club to the Carpinteria club when she accepted the job as Carpinteria postmaster in 1983. That year she joined the club’s community council. The following year, she helped to secure silent auction donations for the club’s first benefit dinner and auction. “As her passion developed, so did her role within the organization,” said Collins. “(Cruz) has served on the United Board of Directors for over 20 years.
In addition, she also volunteers at our Administrative Office, frequently visits our club sites to deliver birthday balloons, school supplies, snacks for the youth to enjoy during our after school programming and to assist with fundraising events.” This year’s auction, themed “Great Futures Start Here … Today’s Kids, Tomorrow’s Stars,” will be held on Saturday, May 16 at 5 p.m. at the club, 4849 Foothill Road. Tickets are $75 per person, and table sponsorships are available. Donations for the live and silent auction will be accepted until May 13.

briefly
OC court ruling could change local water rates
Bike to Work Week
The Carpinteria Valley Water District, as well as many other districts throughout the state, is facing a restructuring of water rates in light of a San Juan Capistrano court decision. The Orange County court ruled that variable rates established as conservation incentives were illegal. CVWD currently has a three-tiered rate structure, in which higher rates are charged to those customers who use more water. San Juan’s ruling opens the local district to possible lawsuits, now that a legal precedent has been set. As a result, the water district is scrambling to restructure its 2015-2016 rates in a way that meets the new interpretation of the law. CVWD General Manager Charles Hamilton said that a tiered rate structure may remain, as long as the different rates can be justified by the variable costs of service. Water from the valley’s underground aquifer, Cachuma Lake and the State Water Project come at significantly different costs to the district. Hamilton said that the new rates will likely take these distinct sources into account. Details on the restructuring are still being sorted out, Hamilton said. The district’s rate and budget committee is meeting frequently in order to give the board of directors a recommendation as soon as possible.

Linden Avenue & Casitas Pass Road Interchanges and Via Real Extension
Caltrans is the lead agency in proposing to reconstruct the Casitas Pass Road and Linden Avenue Interchanges and construct an extension of Via Real as a continuous frontage road on the north side of US 101. The project objectives are to improve access and operations at these two interchanges, improve operations on US 101, reduce the use of US 101 for local trips, and improve local vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian circulation. The proposal also includes: 1) text amendments to the agriculture section of the Carpinteria Coastal Land Use Plan; 2) creation in the Zoning Code of a Whitney Site Agriculture Overlay District; 3) text amendments to the wetland sections of the Carpinteria Coastal Land Use Plan; 4) creation in the Zoning Code of a Transportation Corridor Wetland Overlay District; and 5) redesignation of a portion of the Whitney parcel from agriculture to transportation corridor and removal of the agriculture zone district. All public members are invited to submit comments in writing and attend the hearing.

Half the battle
This is in response to the Little League baseball coach who quit on his team in the middle of the season (“When it’s time to move on,” Coastal View News, April 30). You are exactly correct, quitting is definitely a life lesson. A special meeting was called by the board so you could address the board with your concerns, and you didn’t show up. Another life lesson, showing up is half the battle. The volunteers at CVLL are all hard working people who give up their time for the children of our community. Some of them have been at it for 19 seasons. I tip my cap to all of you!
Mike Damron Co-founder, Carpinteria Valley Little League

Lessons from Baltimore
As a city burns, a cover up masquerades as justice. Instead of a policeman’s Bill of Rights which provides 10 days of cover, how about a victim’s Bill of Rights which demands answers within 10 days? How long does it take to make a written statement and determine its veracity based on the facts? Damn sure won’t find anything out if there’s a 10-day option to be silent. Can I invoke that one, stay out of jail and collect my paycheck? “The right demands order and compliance, hence police are free to kill with immunity; the left demands compassion with your money, hence generations grow without any comprehension of the idea of respect for property and life, no knowledge of how to productively contribute to society,” says blogger Bionic Mosquito.

viewpoint Teacher left powerless BY ERIK HANSEN
My wife is a teacher at Carpinteria High School. On Friday, April 17, she discovered some of her students were writing and producing music on campus that celebrated rape, murder, racism and extreme objectification of women. Her name, along with the name of a former female student, was mentioned in the midst of these violent lyrics. Concerned about her safety and student safety she immediately sought the assistance of CHS’s administration, requesting that, at the minimum, administrators contact the parents of the offending students. She was told no action could be taken until school officials spoke with an attorney and that the local deputy sheriff would be contacted to investigate. The following Monday, she asked administration for a plan. No plan had been created—the students who produced the violent music would still be in her class. My wife was not provided with any resources; she was not given a timeline for action, nor was she kept informed on any details of the investigation. Instead, she was expected to return to the classroom “as normal.” But things weren’t normal: some of her students produced songs that described gang raping a girl, shooting her in the head and leaving her in a ditch. On Tuesday morning, my wife again asked the administration for a plan and status update. Again, their response: attorneys first, action later, no time frame and no updates about their investigation. Furthermore, an administrator communicated in person he did not believe parents could be contacted, while the very students who wrote the music were standing outside of her door waiting to come in. It took three days before she was relieved from the classroom and a full week before some of the parents were contacted. The former was done at the request of the Title IX coordinator—a meeting my wife initiated on her own behalf. The meeting with the students, parents, my wife and school officials went well. It was clear that the students did not grasp the weight of their words until confronted. They demonstrated remorse. But, once again, the administration will have to speak with attorneys before teachers or coaches can assign any consequences. My wife needlessly felt unsafe and

She was expected to return to the classroom “as normal.” But things weren’t normal: some of her students produced songs that described gang raping a girl, shooting her in the head and leaving her in a ditch. unsupported at the hands of an administration who had no protocol in place to help. They even reproduced part of the problem by causing a female teacher to stand powerless before the students who created the music, instead of empowering her to have an honest conversation with her students about why this was wrong. It didn’t have to be this way. It doesn’t have to be this way. To ensure a safe and secure learning environment—for students and teachers alike—I’m asking you to take one simple step: email each member of the school board demanding the addition of a safety article to teachers’ contracts to ensure CHS administration responds appropriately. A safety article is a clause that delineates a procedure for administrators to follow when the security of teachers has been violated. CHS belongs to one of the few districts in the state that does not have a safety article included in the contract.

Carl T. Atterberry 5/20/1927 – 4/13/2015
Carl Atterberry was born in Santa Maria, Calif. and as a child lived in San Luis Obispo, where his grandmother owned the San Luis Obispo Ice Co., which provided ice for railroad box cars to transport Central Valley produce. He moved to Santa Barbara and attended McKinley Elementary School. He was later a cadet at the Elsinore Military Academy, where he graduated with honors. He was drafted after graduation and served in China in the Marine Corps in World War II. Following the war, Carl returned to California and attended Chaffey Junior College and Redlands University, where he earned a BA in English Literature. He completed a teaching credential program at the University of Southern California with graduate studies. He became an elementary school teacher and taught for 35 years in the Bellflower School District. He resided in Orange County and was an officer in the Power Squadron. He then went on to mentor aspiring teachers at Cal State University Long Beach as an education instructor. Carl retired, and he and his wife, Dolly, moved to Grass Valley in Northern California. He became a tireless worker to help others in need and volunteered for several community and service organizations, including the Native Sons of the Golden West, the Ben Ali Shrine and the Masonic Nevada Lodge #13. He was a regular blood donor and supported the Shiner’s Hospital for Children. The Atterberrys grew weary of the cold weather and returned to the central coast, settling in Carpinteria. Carl served on the Grand Jury in Santa Barbara. He continued his commitment to helping others and joined the Santa Barbara and Carpinteria Masonic lodges, serving as secretary and scholarship commitment chairman. He volunteered at the California Avocado Festival and made hundreds of sandwiches to earn money for children’s programs. He suffered a stroke in 2013, but that did not curtail his charitable activities. He continued his work with the Masons and was facilitating scholarships for the students of Carpinteria High School up until the time of his passing. Carl was known as an affable, outgoing and positive force in the community. His endearing qualities were recognized by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was greatly loved by his friends and family. Carl is survived by his wife of 65 years, Dolly; daughter CarlaSue Hanson of Newport Beach; son Thomas (Jennifer) of Santa Ana and granddaughter Dr. China An Hanson of Newcastle upon Tyne, U.K. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, May 14 at 3 p.m. at the Carpinteria Masonic Lodge #444, 5421 Carpinteria Ave. A reception will follow.
Thelma Ownby 4/25/1937 – 5/2/2015

She was raised in Compton, Calif. She has been a resident of Carpinteria since 1970. She was much loved by her family and will be greatly missed. Thelma leaves behind her four children, Ronald (Tina), Patricia (Pete), Mary Lou and Theresa. She also leaves behind 13 grandchildren and 19 greatgrandchildren. A memorial service will be held Saturday, May 9 at 11 a.m. at First Baptist Church, Carpinteria. In memory donations may be made to HELP of Carpinteria, 1069 Casitas Pass Rd. Carpinteria, CA 93013.

Carpinteria addresses homelessness By Lea Boyd
If there’s one thing that’s certain about homelessness in Santa Barbara County, it’s that there is still a lot of uncertainty. However, many minds have come together to reduce that uncertainty and connect homeless people with housing. It’s happening throughout the county, and Carpinteria is one of the communities where a collaborative effort is underway to resolve a growing problem. A survey completed in early 2015 found 18 individuals to be living without homes in Carpinteria. That’s up from 10 in 2013, and 15 in 2011. “That confirmed what anecdotally we all knew,” said City Manager Dave Durflinger. By the time those data were collected, wheels had been set in motion to address the burgeoning issue. As Durflinger said, finding solutions for homelessness entails striking a balance between what’s best for the community and what’s best for the homeless individuals. That means finding health care and longterm housing for those in need while curtailing law breaking, health and safety problems and issues between the homeless and local businesses. To better understand the local homeless population, various city departments and other local agencies began meeting together about a year and a half ago. The shared knowledge gained from input by code compliance, public works, parks and recreation, Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department, Carpinteria State Beach and Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District was then incorporated into a regional coordination group overseen by Central Coast Collaborative on Homelessness (C3H). C3H was formed two and a half years ago to approach the county’s homeless issues in a comprehensive way. Based on the Stanford Collective Impact Model, C3H operates on the premise that homelessness cannot be resolved with a single organization; all the stakeholders must come together to develop best practices that work for all. Jeff Shaffer, coordinator for C3H, said that the two biggest obstacles to getting people off the street are locating housing in a county with very low vacancy rates and connecting homeless people with the
appropriate services for their individual struggles, such as mental illness or substance abuse. In addition to saving lives, Shaffer said, finding homes for the homeless significantly reduces public funding needed for emergency health services and jail costs. “You save everyone money ultimately,” Shaffer said. Carpinteria’s homeless are similar to those in the rest of the county, Shaffer said. Many have burned bridges or had their trust broken. Whatever their personal circumstances, Shaffer said, “It’s rare that ultimately people want to stay out there.” Durflinger said that there are too many potential factors at work to determine precisely why Carpinteria’s homeless population has grown. The warm weather, the recent dearth of rain and the economy could be among the influences, he said, but “the bottom line is that they’re not things that we can control.” The next step in finding long-term housing for Carpinteria’s homeless is to create a volunteer outreach team made up of people willing and capable of connecting with the local homeless population and gaining the trust of its members. “There are homeless people living on the street who see Carpinteria as home, and there are travelers. The goal is to work with those people who consider Carpinteria home,” Shaffer said. The outreach team will be assembled and trained by Common Ground, yet another arm in the countywide effort to provide the homeless with homes. Volunteers will be trained in interacting with local homeless, learning how to listen openly, avoid pressuring anyone to make changes they’re not ready for, familiarize them with services and build trust. Members of the outreach team will be expected to dedicate a couple hours a week to the effort. A training will be held on Monday, May 18, from noon to 2 p.m. at Carpinteria City Hall, 5775 Carpinteria Ave. “There are a lot of people who care,” said Shaffer. “The training gives them something they love to do, and it’s key to ending homelessness.”

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California
Oil and jellies – a sticky mix At first glance it was a beautiful sight, thousands of by-the-wind sailors heaped at the tide line like sparkling violet and lapis treasure. They washed in by the millions a couple of weeks ago. My dog Gracie did her best to down a few while my attention was fixed on the enormity of the die-off, the helpless little jellyfish pushed on to land by their own traitor sails. There was a reasonable explanation, of course. Those Vellela jellies float around the ocean surface in huge colonies, pushed by their small upright sails. Off our coast their sails are canted at a 45-degree angle so that north-south winds keep them safely out at sea. If a storm comes in with south-westerly winds, as occurred here, it drives whole colonies on shore. On the other side of the Pacific where the wind regularly blows south to north, the jellyfishes’ sails are angled the opposite direction. The dead fish odor began the next day, the blue color gone, the sailors piled in reefs of filmy plastic chips. I couldn’t decide whether the fish smell was an improvement on the stink of petroleum hanging over Summerland beach like a permanent blight.
Beach oil bane
The oil on Summerland beach has only gotten worse in the last year. The sand gets a daily smear of petroleum, leaving oily scallops along the tide line, glutinous black blobs of all sizes and the nose-wrinkling smell of petro-chemicals in the wind. You’d think people would throw their hands up and stop coming. But there are only so many public beaches available, and this is pretty much the

only one between Santa Barbara and Carpinteria. It surprises me to see so many families picnicking and sunbathing on the beach. I’d be reluctant to expose children to the petroleum dosage levels they’d get from a day spent inhaling those fumes—even aside from the chore of scraping the tar off feet, limbs and clothing. That much environmental oil has to be a health hazard. I took a photo of the oil-stained tideline in April and sent it to Elsa Arndt, Office of Emergency Services Manager. She instructed me to fill out a “Seep Report” and send it to the California State Lands Commission, adding that the county has so far “been unable to obtain funds for remediation of the Becker well” from State Lands. It was not considered “a significant health and safety hazard.” The Becker well is the worst culprit of all the carelessly abandoned old oil wells that once lined Summerland’s shore during the last century. Located just below the tide line on the beach below Lookout Park, it continually burps up viscous pools of black oil, which is then distributed the length of the beach. Some days are worse than others, of course, depending on tides and weather. Last winter was terrible, spring not so bad. But in general, the pollution has worsened this year. The burden is on the community to

prove to State Lands that the daily dose of oil we’re getting is a health and safety hazard and not just a matter of aesthetics. Filling out a Seep Report whenever bad conditions are observed is the first step. State Lands needs to hear from us, the people who love the beach, who use it and are appalled to find it befouled with petroleum. When Supervisor Salud Carbajal appeared at the Citizens Association meeting last month, he stated that a potential mitigation project was at the State Lands Commission waiting for funding. I suspect that State Lands has shoved that potential mitigation project to the very bottom of the pile. And only a lot of prying and outcry will get it out. Elsa Arndt at the OES says their website now has a link to the Seep Report that people can download and send in: countyofsb.org/ceo/oem.sbc. Page down on the home page until you come to the Beach Seep/Sheen Report. You can email the report to Joseph.Schulz@slc. ca.gov or mail it to Joseph Schulz, 7127 Hollister, Suite 3, Goleta, CA 93117. The Summerland Citizens Association will take the matter up at their next meeting.
Further misadventures of Gracie Disgracie
Readers may remember the tale of Gracie, our Jack Russell terrier who got trapped in the compost bin while dining on its contents. Finally discovered, rescued and bathed by my husband Roger. This time Gracie’s downfall was a mere handful of kibble.
She disappeared again, suddenly and completely. Roger, walking her at the top of Whitney Avenue, turned around and she was gone. He called and called. No Gracie. He came to alert me. I walked the crest of the hill calling her name, all the while staring down at the Greenwell Creek thicket where the coyotes live. Our sweet, caring neighbors Doris and Barb joined the search. Doris got on her Vespa and cruised town, calling. I got in my car and circled the town’s backside, the wild side, overgrown fields dropping down to impenetrable brushy creek. I think the entire back quadrant of Summerland must have heard me yelling for my dog. I was sure she’d been the victim of a broad daylight snatch by coyotes. While three of us were out thrashing through weeds and yelling our heads off, Roger went back to the top of the hill and sat down in the gazebo there. He looked down and just a couple of feet away, a little eye peered up at him through a crack in a blue plastic clad cage. “Well, hello, Gracie,” he said. She was in a raccoon trap. The search was called off thanks to cell phones. Roger managed to open the live trap (baited with cat kibble), and Gracie came pouring out, a little shaky from the long, and probably frustrating, wait. Great gusty sighs of relief all around, followed by aggravated griping. The dog might have had the sense to respond! We’d all walked by her half a dozen times screeching her name. She could have howled like she’d done from the compost bin. But no, she sat there, biding her time, no doubt thinking we were the ones who were idiots. Chalk another one up for the dog who lives up to her name, Gracie Disgracie. One good thing: The relief at finding a lost dog. And those jacaranda trees, shaking their purple skirts so prematurely! Fran Davis is an award-winning writer and freelance editor whose work appears in magazines, print and online journals, anthologies and travel books. She has lived in Summerland most of her life.

Figuring out the flowers
Avocado farmers try to explain this year’s big bloom By Peter Dugré
Avocado orchards sprouted yellowgreen flowers in such abundance this spring that the hue of a Foothill Road cruise among the fruit trees noticeably shifted. Flowering is the typical presentation before fruit sets, but not with the massive displays that overtook orchards this year. It could be a random event—a showy bloom predicting a robust harvest—or it could be a sign of trees in distress, trying in earnest to reproduce before the drought claims their lives, according to growers. “This is why farming avocados is so much fun,” said Robert Abbott of Abbott Ranch. “I just don’t know.” He said it seems that every six to eight years the trees go gangbusters. “It could be the climate. The trees occasionally decide to bloom,” stated Ken Stanley, a regional manager at the Carpinteria Calavo office. If the blooms set and produce fruit, it could spell a monster year in 2016, Stanley said. Avocados mature over two years. Warm nights will help set the fruit, but a lot can happen between now and 2016. Nothing is a sure thing. High winds and winter frosts could spoil a huge crop in no time. Will Carleton, a California Avocado Commissioner and local organic grower at Las Palmalitas Ranch, said the phenomenon is not limited to local trees. From San Diego to Morro Bay, the bloom is on. Distress caused by drought is a possible cause. “One speculation is that two to three years of continuous drought has finally caused the trees to all say, ‘My goodness. I’m under stress. I better make babies.’” The trees are irrigated, but that’s not enough, Carleton said. Salinity levels in soil build up without the full flush of heavy and prolonged rainy seasons. “It doesn’t wash away with a sprinkling,” he said. Still, Tim Spann, Research Program Director at the California Avocado Commission, said that owing to last year’s light crop and this year looking light again, a big bloom is to be expected. This year’s bloom is significant because of its consistency across the state. Abbott said he started taking drought related action about two years ago. They stumped and pruned many trees and layered on mulch in order to hold in moisture and potentially help with salinity issues. “Mulch creates an even environment,” he said. It helps to reduce salinity levels. They even soaked the orchard with well water, thinking that this past winter the drought would break, but the rain never came. For the first time ever at Abbott Ranch, which is off Highway 150 near Rincon Creek, one of the primary irrigation wells has dropped significantly in its water level. Abbott is concerned that even if the bloom does set into a robust crop, there will not be enough water to grow the fruit to optimal sizes. “A high volume of peewees would be a bad thing,” he said. Typically a big supply year reduces pricing per pound, and if the thirsty fruit never sizes up prices will be reduced even further. There is no way to know what the big bloom means, but the record drought adds curiosity to the mystery. In the present, Abbott said orchards are teeming. “It’s cool. The bees are buzzing and the orchard is alive with bloom. It’s nice to walk around and smell it ... Everything explodes with life.”

Local girls cook the competition
two Girl scouts troops from Carpinteria joined over 2,000 other scouts by attending the camporee Kaleidoscope last weekend near Lake Cachuma, where their culinary skills earned them each a first-place prize. The younger troop of fifth-graders enjoyed finally being old enough to attend the camp and relished the experience of all the camping excitement and workshops. The older troop of sixth- and seventh-graders demonstrated their outdoor skills by entering challenges ranging from fire-building, lashing and orienteering to first aid and survival skills. By scoring well in all the categories, they came home proud with the rank of “trailblazers.” The weekend ended with the grand finale of the outdoor cooking competition, in which judges not only rank the taste and presentation of each entree, but also the teamwork, knowledge and safety of each group. Both Carpinterian teams won first place. The first team impressed judges with their creative take on a s’more cheesecake, which they made over coals in an ice cream cone. The second team entered the camp stove one pot competition and earned its first place title with a skillet frittata, garnished with none other than Carpinteria’s famous avocados.

Carl Stucky, left, and John Culbertson take a break from removing fencing and brush from the side of the gate that divides the first and second phases of Franklin Trail.
Next 3 miles of Franklin Trail opens
The long-awaited second phase of Franklin Trail is now open. Three miles of well-established dirt roadway zig zagging north from the gate that marks the end of phase one through private property owned by Rancho Monte Alegre can now be biked, hiked and horseback ridden. Starting at an elevation of 28 feet at the Meadow View Lane trailhead, the trail now tops out at 1,700 feet at the edge of the Los Padres National Forest. “After a year and a half, I am overjoyed to be able to announce the opening of the second phase of the trail,” said Jane Murray, co-chair of Friends of Franklin Trail. “We all now have 5.2 miles of trail to explore and enjoy the exercise and the glorious views from the hills in our own backyard.” The agreement with RMA, which has yet to be formally finalized, will allow use of an existing easement without requiring fencing. Murray emphasized that all the land along the trail is private, and anyone who strays from the designated easement will be trespassing. No fires, smoking or camping are allowed, she said. Franklin Trail’s third phase, a project of the Forest Service and the Santa Barbara County Trails Council, will run for 2.7 miles through the National Forest to reach the crest at the Divide Peak Off Highway Vehicle Route at 3,720 feet in elevation. From there, an existing trail drops down to Jameson Lake. The preliminary line has already been cut for the third phase, and an environmental review must be completed next. Fundraising is underway; donations can be made at sbtrails.org. A slideshow documenting the work completed on the trail can also be viewed on the website. ––Lea Boyd

Let the good times roll Casino Night blasts from the past Photos by RobiN KaRlssoN
Everyone was a winner at the Rotary Club of Carpinteria Morning’s annual Casino Night on May 2. The dice rolled and the tables buzzed with folks who’d rewound the hands of time to the 1950s for the big event. The Hickey Brothers building on Linden Avenue was refashioned into a fabulous ’50s diner with handpainted sets by Rotarian Beth Schmohr. Attendees ate burgers and hotdogs, danced to the throwback music of The Rincons and bid on silent auction items to benefit the local service club and all its community projects.

Amrit Joy’s Hints for Healthy & Happy Living Acknowledge a tree
Take some time to be with a tree. Carefully look at the tree, breathe in its scent. Feel the bark, lean on the tree. Feel the energy and take it in, hug it if you want. Study the shape and size of the leaves. Know that the tree has possibly been here for decades. Feel the shade the tree provides. If it has fruits or flowers. Say “thank you” and be grateful for the fruit and the beauty of the flowers. Slow down, like the tree. Allow yourself to just “be” in the “now.” After you see the tree, let the tree see you. Amrit Joy is a certified Hatha and Kundalini Yoga instructor. She has been practicing and teaching yoga since 1976. Amrit offers ongoing group yoga classes open to all levels here in Carpinteria. Private instruction in yoga and meditation is also available by appointment. For more information, call Amrit Joy at 745-1707 or visit amritjoy.com.

High Pup Count
Most pups were born early and are now difficult to distinguish.
Over 1,398 people came to view the seals. Volunteers spoke with visitors from the Netherlands, Mexico, Austria, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, South Korea, Russia, Virginia, Arizona, New York, Idaho, Washington, Connecticut, Georgia, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Illinois, Michigan and Texas.
Disturbances
All the seals were scared into the ocean by beach walkers one day.
Natural History Notes
Harbor seals are only found in the northern hemisphere, in the northern Pacific from northern Japan to Baja California, along the western Atlantic from north of Florida into Hudson’s Bay, Greenland and Iceland, and the North Atlantic from northern Spain to some of the Arctic shore of Russia. A small population lives in Seal Lake, Quebec, Canada. Biologists recognize several subspecies; Carpinteria’s Pacific harbor seals are Phoca vitulina richardsi.
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.

Warrior volleyball claims first place in Tri-Valley League BY PETER DUGRÉ Carpinteria High School boys volleyball coach Dino Garcia described the atmosphere in Warrior gym on April 29 as incredible. “What you really saw wasn’t just a few sparks; it was a blaze all the way,” he said of the 3-2 home rivalry win over Bishop Diego High School. With the support of the student body, the team (9-1) was able to capture at least a share of the Tri-Valley League championship with two matches remaining. Garcia said seniors Victor Saldaña and Mason Picerni have elevated their games and the rest of the team has followed suit. Saldaña, also a standout soccer player, has transferred his footwork to the volleyball court at outside hitter. Picerni uses his basketball skills at the middle blocker position. The team has gelled to advance to Division 5 playoffs for the sixth consecutive season. The first-year coach said it has been a thrill to watch the season unfold, and the recent nail-biter against Bishop was a climactic point. Saldaña’s determination was particularly fun to watch against Bishop. “I saw a ball about to hit the ground, and you see this rocket (Saldaña) scoop it up,” Garcia said. “It was very entertaining to watch. He controlled the critical points for us.” In one stretch of play, when Saldaña had to rotate to the back row, he had poise and leadership enough to call for the set and collect a couple of points away from the net. Picerni, a long, athletic player, has stores of potential that could see him eventually land at a Division 1 college, according to Garcia. “(Picerni) plays with heart every match. When he’s dialed in, he’s incredible,” Garcia said. His blocking ability and sense of how to get into position is particularly pronounced. The big two at the front are supported by libero Victor Garcia, “a ‘shovel’ digging everything in the back row,” according to Dino. Four sophomore standouts have made big contributions in their young careers. Pablo Ortega, Armando Soriano, Mayerik Rodriguez and Andrew Hipple have had growing roles on the successful squad. It all came together one night earlier in the season, ironically in one of the team’s only two losses. The Warriors faced Ventura High School, a Division 1 squad, in the preseason on March 18, and just wouldn’t quit.
Outside hitter Victor Saldaña “is the backbone” of the successful boys volleyball squad, said coach Dino Garcia.
BILL SWING
Warrior middle blocker Mason Picerni has been a force on the Tri-Valley League champion volleyball squad. “When they play on all cylinders; it’s a very high level,” Dino said. The Warriors fell in three sets, but the third set went to tie break. It was a confidence booster all around for the squad. Team setter Jose Angeles has been pivotal. He divvied out 22 assists in the Bishop match and has been feeding the big men with precision all season long.
Defensive specialist Arturo Saldaña is a dig machine as a sub in the back row. With Tri-Valley League in the bag, Dino said the team will not rest on its laurels. “Those guys were excited last night,” he said following the Bishop contest, “but we’ve got to be reminded that we still have to show up to practice and work.”
Close call
BILL SWING
Warrior second baseman McKayla Blair makes the play in an 8-1 loss to Fillmore High School on April 28. The Warriors stand at 1-5 in Tri-Valley League with four games left, including senior day, the last home game of the season, on Thursday, May 7, against La Reina High School.

14u water polo grabs second place
At the Ventura County Youth Water Polo Tournament, the Carpinteria 14u Triton water polo team snatched second place. It was the team’s first ever tournament. “Assistant coach Dylan Hathaway and I were very pleased with the way they played and how they have progressed from never playing water polo in January to getting second place four months later,” commented coach Matt Organista. “The other team had been undefeated this season but we gave them a close game.” The team defeated Santa Barbara in a 10-7 shootout win on day one. It also won its second game that day 8-5 against the Titans. The Tritons suffered a 7-6 defeat in the championship match against Gold Coast. The game seesawed at a 1-point difference throughout, and the Tritons fell behind 7-6 in the final minute. They managed a couple of shots in designed plays after timeouts but were stifled in their bid to tie the match.

The championship against the home team, Central Torrance, proved to be a high-octane battle and ended with a 2-0 win. Coaches commended all players’ efforts. “This remarkable group of girls has diligently worked to become the champions they are today. With dedication to the sport and each other, they have built the confidence to rise against the challenges. We are very proud of their commitment, success, and development as a team,” commented coaches Marc Medina and Richard Pakes.

Cate School
Baseball
April 29 – Cate baseball traveled to Santa Paula High School and was burned by the heat and the hot Cardinal bats in a 14-8 loss. The Cardinals had 15 hits including back-to-back homeruns in the first. Cate starting pitcher Djata Nywaaie battled through 3 and 1/3 innings, doing his best to keep a talented lineup off balance. Humza Khurshid and James Chang also pitched. The Rams attempted to answer back each time the Cardinals scored but left 13 runners on base. Khurshid led the way offensively for Cate, going 3-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI. Joel Revo was on base 4-of-5 times up, recording a single and three walks. Nyaawie and Dean Smith each had a hit on the afternoon, as did Jake Dexter-Meldrum and Geoffrey Acheampong. “We did well at the plate, but were just missing that one big hit that might have gotten momentum on our side,” commented assistant coach Dave Soto.
Boys lacrosse
April 28 – At Dos Pueblos High School, Cate boys lacrosse improved to 11-1 with a 16-1 victory. Patrick Thomas opened up the scoring for the Rams, just over a minute into the game, and finished the day with four goals. “One of our points of emphasis yesterday was to start fast. At times, it takes us a while to get going. I credit the players for being focused and playing well from the opening whistle,” commented coach Philip Keebler. Cole Brennan had five goals and one assist. Keller Mochel scored two goals, and Noah Somaratne, Jack Pruitt, Gair Pearson, Ryan Borchardt, Peter Marcus and Carter Minor each scored a goal. Christian Burke had an assist. Cem Basar recorded his first point of the season with an assist in the third quarter. The Rams scored 16 goals on 21 shots. Defensively, the Rams forced nine turnovers, and held the Chargers to only seven shots. Kian O’Connor had three saves in goal.
Boys volleyball
April 28 – Cate boys volleyball defeated Nordhoff High School 3-0 (25-23, 25-20, 25-20) in Ojai to extend its win streak to five matches. The Rams had some trouble gaining momentum coming out of the gates but cruised in the second and third sets. Cate trailed by as many as nine points through most of the first set. The Rams came alive and took control with two unanswered points and then a straight down stuff block by Morgan Pierce to end the set. Pierce and Oliver Welch were solid at the net and provided a combined 26 kills while James Szkobel-Wolff induced points with six blocks. “Defense can sometimes be an unseen talent but great defense is what leads up to a great play,” commented coach Greg Novak. He commended the defensive play of Spencer Towle and Parker Matthews who used their defensive talents to contribute to the success of the Rams’ offense. The Rams improved to 8-3 in Tri-Valley League.
Girls lacrosse
April 28 – Cate girls lacrosse defeated San Marcos High School 20-6 in Santa Barbara. Brie Walker scored eight goals and was unstoppable on her crease rolls. Victoria Herman scored a goal and was critical in the team’s transition, according to coach Renee Mack. The team controlled more than 50 percent of ground balls. Jessica Liou had 10 saves. Maddie Becker won four draws and scored three goals. Coach Renee Mack commented that the team is enjoying the growing popularity of lacrosse in the area as all three Santa Barbara high schools have added lacrosse.
Carpinteria High School
Boys volleyball
April 27 – Warrior boys volleyball defeated visiting Foothill Academy 3-0 (25-17, 25-20, 29-27) to improve to 8-1 in Tri-Valley League. Foothill proved persistent in taking the final set the distance. The game was led by Victor Saldaña and Mason Picerni. Saldaña had 12 kills and seven digs, and Picerni added 11 kills and three blocks. April 28 – Warrior boys volleyball hosted Bishop Diego High School in a Tri-Valley League match and prevailed in five thrilling sets, 3-2 (19-25, 25-21, 17-25, 25-16, 15-13). “Coming off a lackluster effort against freshmen-led Foothill Academy, we got our senior class working on all cylinders,” commented Warrior coach Dino Garcia. The win guaranteed the Warriors a CIF bid for the sixth consecutive year. The Warriors were led by Victor Saldaña with 13 kills and eight digs and Mason Picerni with a high 19 kills and six blocks. Libero Victor Garcia was dominant in the back row with 18 digs. Jose Angeles had a good all around game and finished with 22 assists. Coach Garcia noted the continual improved play from middle blocker Andrew Hipple.
Track and Field
April 29 – Warrior track and field faced off at Nordhoff High School in the final Tri-Valley League dual meet of the season. The Rangers swept both Warrior boys and girls varsity teams. Warrior boys lost 80-56, and girls lost 66-63. In boys, Gabe Zapien-Ybarra won both the shot put (41.75) and discus (141-6).

Boys tennis
April 28 – Warrior boys tennis lost to a talented Cate School tennis squad 14-4 at CHS. “I was very happy with our improvement over the first time we played them,” commented Warrior coach Charles Bryant. Warrior singles player Sammy Gutierrez
capped the match with a come-from-behind victory. He trailed 3-0 but prevailed 6-3. Jeremy Saito also won a set in a close tiebreak. In doubles, Jonathan Cleek/Bryan Taira picked up two points in doubles. Bryant said the sportsmanship of Cate’s squad was admirable. May 1 – Hosting Dunn School, Carpinteria High School boys picked up a 10-8 victory. The Warriors built a 5-1 lead after the first round but saw the lead dwindle as the match went on. In singles, Jeremy Saito swept his three matches. Saito had a tight match with Dunn’s number one player, but realized his opponent was not comfortable at the net and continually drew him in to win some easy points. Sammy Gutierrez also won a set. In doubles, Jonathan Cleek/Bryan Taira swept their three sets and only dropped one game per set. Juan Hernandez/Francis Aguilera won two tiebreaks and narrowly lost a third set. Sam Truax/Chris Fedderson won one set.
Baseball
April 29 – Warrior baseball won the first of its two-game set with Santa Clara High School 7-2 at CHS’s John Calderwood Field. Junior lefty Diego Contreras notched the win tossing five innings, scattering six hits, striking out one and walking two. David Martinez picked up a save throwing two shut out innings without allowing a hit. Contreras scored the eventual winning run in the second inning as he led off with a hit, advanced to third on the second of two doubles by Javier Jasso and scored on a passed ball. Jasso led the offensive charge for the Warriors going 3-for-4, scoring three runs and adding an RBI. Sal Delgado added two hits and two RBI. “We overcame some early shakiness and some factors outside our control. The defense really backed the pitchers who struggled through to get the job done. We are getting contributions from the whole group: starters, bench players and role players,” commented coach Pat Cooney. May 1 – At Santa Clara High School, Warrior baseball picked up a 5-3 extra-inning victory to improve to 4-4 in Tri-Valley League. David Martinez pitched for the victory in three shutout relief innings. Starter Sal Delgado gave way to Martinez in the sixth trailing 3-2. The Warriors evened the score in the top of the seventh when Jose Carrillo’s two out hit through the infield drove in Javier Jasso, who had doubled to lead off the inning. In the eighth, Malcolm Gordon led off with a hit and scored the eventual winning run from first on a double by Ricky Medina. Medina later scored an insurance run for the Warriors on a passed ball. Jasso had his second three-hit day of the week as he went 3-for-4, scored two runs and added two stolen bases. Gordon had two hits of his own. “We won the ground ball contest today. The defense was steady, pitching minimized the scoring and the offense applied pressure throughout by putting the ball in play. It is a big deal for the group to pick up a win on the road,” commented Warrior coach Pat Cooney. May 2 - The Warriors used four pitchers and the entire roster of players in a nonleague game versus Dunn School at CHS’s John Calderwood Field. The Earwigs were up to the task behind right-hander Shannon Carroll who went the distance in the 7-4 win over the Warriors. Tony Vega started on the mound for the Warriors and pitched two scoreless innings. Malcolm Gordon followed with two scoreless innings of his own. Robert Warren limited the Earwig scoring to one unearned run over his two innings of work. In the seventh inning, the Earwigs capitalized on four walks, four hits and an error to take the lead 7-2. The Warriors scratched back and scored two before loading the bases bringing the winning run to the plate with two outs. Carroll stayed cool and induced a game-ending ground ball.

Unspoiled seaside
Taken around 1900 at Rincon Point, this photo of Bill Mackeral demonstrates just how untouched the coastline was before the automobile and its infrastructure ruled. The railroad had carved its path above the shore by the late 1880s, but cars wouldn’t begin making their demands for another decade. The first means of accommodating the auto was the Rincon Causeway, which opened in the fall of 1912 and connected Carpinteria to Ventura with a series of wooden roadways perched above the sand.
CArPiNteriA VAlley MuSeuM of HiStory
As the nation gears up for March Madness (starting March 19), CVN thought it would be appropriate to stoke the fire of excitement with an image of Carpinteria’s version of highlyCARPiNTERiA competitive basketball. Sports VALLEy MusEuM of HisToRy rivals Carpinteria and Bishop Diego high schools vie for a piece of the ball at this Feb. 7, 1978 game.

Mother’s Day May 10th Sales Throughout The Entire Store! 805.684.5110 • Tuesday – SATURDAY • CASITAS PLAZA
Spa day
A nail salon owner reported that he believes a pack of four females intended to rob employees’ belongings when they entered his store at around 5 p.m. on April 16. The man said he’d heard of a heist at a separate local salon involving four women. In that instance, three women distracted personnel in the front of the store while one went into a back room and rummaged through employees’ belongings to steal items. The owner told deputies he became suspicious immediately when two of the women walked in. Then two more joined them, all asking about lip waxing services. One asked to use the bathroom in the back while the other three stayed up front. One woman positioned herself near to the owner, who was at the counter, in a way to keep him from going to the back of the store. He then attempted to walk toward the back, but she got in his way and held fast. He told the women that if they did not leave, he would call the police. The obstructer barked something in Spanish to the woman in the rear, and she came out. When the owner dialed 9-1-1, all four fled. Upon deputies’ arrival, the women were gone. None of the employees’ belongings appeared to have been stolen.
Cosmetic thievery
Loss-prevention personnel at a Casitas Pass Road store reported that two women entered the store and looted the cosmetic section to the tune of $3,000 on April 10. They entered and headed straight to the cosmetics aisle and swiftly began stuffing their purses by the handfuls. They then exited the store without paying. Store security reported that the same thieves pulled off a nearly identical crime at the Buellton location the same day. The store did not have information on the identities of the women, but the loss-prevention team was working on cataloguing the crimes into a
database in order to help predict where thieves might strike next.
Womanly ways
A deputy stopped a female driver for not braking before crossing over a sidewalk exiting a Carpinteria Avenue motel and found that she had many tricks up her sleeve on April 29 at 11:30 p.m. The driver, 32, issued a name to the officer that did not register in the computer system. Her male companion, 31, insisted that his girlfriend was who she said she was. Officers asked to search the man and found he had an assortment of cards with various names on them in his wallet. A credit card, Chumash Casino card, library card and social security card all had different names, but the social security card was the correct one. He was arrested for possession of property not belonging to him. He also stands accused of colluding with the woman on concealing her name. Officers then searched the woman’s purse and discovered her real name on a card. She admitted to the fib. The woman had a felony warrant out for her arrest, so she was arrested. The car also had a meth pipe in it and a small digital scale. Before bringing the couple to jail, deputies asked if the woman had any illegal drugs stashed on her. She admitted to having a meth pipe in her bra and was uncuffed for a moment to remove it. Still, deputies believed she had more hidden items. When she got to jail, they ordered a female deputy conduct a strip search. She had a sack of meth stashed in her vagina.

Baba Segi is a proud Nigerian businessman who sells construction materials and boasts of his four wives and seven children. Three women have been married to Baba for many years, and they are not happy when he brings home his fourth wife, Bolande— a university graduate. This prestige complicates her life, not just doubling the wives’ resentment but also restricting her husband’s options when it comes to discipline. “Who would dare to drag a graduate by her hair?” After two years of marriage, Bolande still has secrets, but she is not the only one. Each of the other wives reveals she is not quite as she presents herself. Though he does not know it at the time, neither is Baba Segi. When one of the wives finally takes action to deal with the interloper, all goes tragically wrong, and the lesson learned is too late for this generation. This debut novel by Nigerian author Shoneyin exposes the reader to complexities of contemporary familial dynamics in a polygamous society. ––Tara O’Reilly, Supervising librarian, Carpinteria Library, 5141 Carpinteria Ave.
Friends of the Carpinteria Library recommendation “The Bone Clocks” by David Mitchell
“The Bone Clocks” is the latest novel by David Mitchell, author of the popular “Cloud Atlas.” In it, he expertly combines the worlds of the familiar and the metaphysical. His characters are grounded in situations and environments we recognize, but from the start, the slightest touch of the supernatural is present. When we eventually find ourselves completely immersed in the realm of the fantastic, it comes as no surprise. The story is organized in six sections, each told from the point of view of a different character, beginning in 1984 and ending in a dystopian 2043. From a teenaged girl running away from home, to a reporter embedded with soldiers in the Middle East, to a dyspeptic aging author trying to outrun obsolescence, we get different pieces of the story from vastly different perspectives. Mitchell brings each character to life on the page, and we come to understand that they all relate to each other and to the eventual culmination of the story. I found the writing to be very absorbing, and the story surprising and entertaining. Some may balk at the over-the-top fantasy and excessive pseudo-jargon used during the action-packed penultimate section, but I felt the story as a whole and the ending in particular were quite satisfying. ––Karen Fanos, Friends of the Library Used Book Store customer, 5103 Carpinteria Ave.

“Shadow and Bone” by Leigh Bardugo
In the war-ravaged country of Ravka, there is little opportunity for economic mobility, meaning it’s likely that Alina Starkov will never be anything more than a cartographer for the army. However, when monsters in a dark place called the Fold attack her and her regiment, Alina finds she has powers she could never imagine. The Darkling, the mysterious and powerful leader of a group of magical and mighty beings known as the Grisha, whisks her away to the palace of their king, where she is trained to use her powers to help fight in the war that plagues their country. But in this new world of politics and court rivalries, Alina finds herself in more danger than she ever could have imagined. In order to save her country, she will have to uncover the secrets of the Grisha and find a way to defeat the Fold—before it’s too late. The first in a trilogy, “Shadow and Bone” is dark, fantastical and adventurous in all the best ways. With its unique characters, intricate plot and surprising twists, “Shadow and Bone” will keep readers turning pages until the last. ––Audrey Lent, Santa Barbara City College student
JOE BUNTING On Saturday, April 11 at 6:49 a.m., my wife gave birth to our second son, Remington Seth Eugene Bunting—or Remy. I won’t go into all the details––the 10 hours of labor were preceded by 45 hours of early labor. I will say it was one of the longest, hardest nights of my life, and I wasn’t even giving birth. There’s a truism among writers that writing a book is like giving birth. After witnessing birth, I understand what they mean. My wife carried our child inside of her for more than nine months. She gave up things she enjoyed; she gave up her routines; she gave up her status quo. Finally, when the time was right, her body sent her into labor. She had little control over the timing. She just knew that it was time for what was inside of her to come out. She told me labor was the most painful thing she’s ever experienced, the hardest thing she’d ever done. “I’m never doing this again,” she told me, while she bent over the hospital bed in pain. “We’re never having any more kids.” (I know, I told her. The next day, of course, she told people we would have one more child at least.) And all of this she did for hope. Hope that all the discomfort, the pain, the sacrifice would all result in something new, something that was both her and not her. She did this to create new life. I don’t want to trivialize labor— mothers, it seems to me, have it harder
Columnist Joe Bunting and his newborn son, Remy. than writers—but as someone who has written four books now, I can’t help but see the parallels. Writers get these ideas, these seeds of new life that we carry around in our imaginations for months or even years. To make them a reality, we sacrifice our time, our emotions, sometimes our sanity. We often feel like we have no control over our writing. We are compelled to write. We couldn’t quit if we tried. (Although, even if we don’t feel compelled, we would write anyway.) At some point in this process, writing becomes painful, devastating even. We long to give up. We decide to never write another book again. And yet, we don’t quit. Instead, we hope. We imagine the new thing we are creating, our story, our new life, this thing that is both us and not us. When we finish it, we can’t help but want to do it again. Happy writing. And welcome to the world, Remy Bunting!

Carpinteria Library Book Club selection “Mary Coin” by Marisa Silver
Dorothea Lange’s iconic Great Depression photograph, “Migrant Mother,” is the inspiration for Marisa Silver’s novel “Mary Coin,” a work that will be discussed by the Carpinteria Library Book Club on Wednesday, May 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the library, 5141 Carpinteria Ave. The 1936 picture, taken by a woman photographing job-seeking migrant laborers, depicts a young mother in central California. Very little information is gathered on the subject of the photo, but years later, in contemporary times, Walker Dodge, a professor of cultural history, uncovers a family secret in the now-famous picture. The novel spins an enthralling tale and shows readers that much can be revealed and much can be obscured in a single image.
