Mingee to step down as fire chief

We have a winner

BY LEA BOYD

The Fire Board unanimously voted on May 19 to release Chief Mike Mingee from his employment contract with the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District a year before its close. The fire chief’s departure, effective Aug. 1, came on the heels of the settlement of a lawsuit brought on by three firefighters against the chief as well as a failed bond election to fund new fire stations. Mingee will leave with a $150,000 severance payment, which was negotiated when he was hired in 2007. In a prepared statement he read aloud during the fire board meeting, Mingee said that plans to leave the district early have been in the works since last September. He told Coastal View News that he is “not being forced out” by the lawsuit, though his decision to leave early assisted in settling the lawsuit. He declined to comment further on the lawsuit. The suit, filed in November 2013, alleged that Mingee and the fire district failed to act in the interest of firefighter safety and retaliated against the plaintiffs, Christopher Blair, Han Domini and Michael Hayek, when they raised safety concerns. Mingee told CVN that he stands by his initial claims that the allegations in the lawsuit are false. The Santa Barbara Independent reported this week that Mingee’s early departure from the district is a direct result of the settlement. The lawsuit was settled outside of court, and the parties involved have been asked not to speak on the terms. CVN does not have details on the settlement. At the board meeting, Mingee said he had been “kind of beat up at bit in the press” and added, “They’re fishing in

Mike Mingee’s last day as CSFPD Fire Chief will be July 31. the wrong pond here; this is no scandalous issue.” Measure Z, which aimed to raise $10.65 million for a new fire station in Summerland and a remodeled Carpinteria station, failed to obtain the two-thirds voter approval necessary to pass in the May 5 election. The bond measure and station plans were of great importance to Mingee, who said he is disappointed by the outcome. “I’m convinced that the Board will continue to seek a solution to this critical issue,” he stated. The lawsuit alleged misconduct by Mingee starting in 2012 after Blair was hired as a battalion chief. Blair began reporting concerns over unsafe workplace conditions and health and safety violations, which Mingee failed to act

Arts Center regroups without ED

The Carpinteria Arts Center has entered a transition phase between executive directors and is looking to a team of dedicated volunteers to bridge what board co-chair David Powdrell envisions as a one-year gap without a paid staff leader. Sherri Frazer, who was hired in 2013 as the organization’s first executive director, accepted a position with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History this month. Powdrell said that Frazer accom-

plished quite a bit in her two years with the Arts Center, including completing a successful rebranding campaign and expanding the center’s connection to other area nonprofits. “We’ll miss her terribly,” Powdrell said. Rather than hire a new ED immediately, the organization has opted to gather a transition team to focus on building programming, fundraising and public awareness. The “dream team” is made up of Marty

Selfridge, Susan Misemer, Zoe Iverson, Ellen Johnson, Miguel Bernal, Teda Pilcher, Michael Kramer, Chris Sobell, Aurora Valentine, Gary and Geri Campopiano, Beth Schmohr and Powdrell. One of the areas of focus for Powdrell is art classes. “Our site sits idle most of the time,” he said. “We want to radically change this during the next year … Let’s get paint brushes into the hands of all Carpinterians, ages 5 to 95.”

Plans for a city-approved, two-story building for the Arts Center site at 855 Linden Ave. have been put on hold but not dismissed completely. Powdrell said that the $6.9 million necessary to fund construction and create an endowment for operations still remains out of reach for the organization. The center has applied for a four-year deferral on its City of Carpinteria building permit. ––Lea Boyd

Sportel named County Teacher of the Year CVN RepoRT

The corner of Santa Ynez Avenue and Aragon Drive is looking good thanks to a local eagle Scout.

Fallen Veterans’ Memorial to be dedicated on Friday

After a year of planning, fundraising and finally construction, the Fallen Veterans’ Memorial in Carpinteria will be officially dedicated this week. Kicking off Memorial Day weekend, city officials will unveil the new memorial wall located at Carpinteria Valley Memorial Park on Friday, May 22 at 4 p.m. Carpinteria teen Duncan Smith coordinated the effort to have the wall built for his Eagle Scout project. Duncan is a Life Scout with BSA Troop 50 in Carpinteria. Wanting to focus on a project that would honor veterans, his idea for a memorial wall with the names of Carpinteria’s veterans who died during combat operations was approved by the Carpinteria Architectural Review Board in August 2014. Local service organizations, private donors and the City of Carpinteria have all contributed to a project that will eventually link to a full pathway around Memorial Park. The completion of the memorial wall marks the completion of the first phase of the city’s path.

Brandon Sportel is having quite a year. The Canalino School special education teacher received his third major accolade of 2015 when he was named Santa Barbara County Teacher of the Year on May 14. The honor comes with a stipend and a chance at top state and national honors. “I am invested in changing the face of education,” said Sportel upon acceptance of the award at the monthly meeting of the Santa Barbara County Board of Education. The nine-year Carpinteria Unified School District teacher iterated how grateful and inspired he felt to receive the award. In January, Sportel was named as one of two educators of the year by the Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce, and last month he received the highly BOYD prestigious Milken Educator Award—an Canalino School special education honor bestowed on just one teacher in teacher Brandon Sportel, right, is the state. introduced as County Teacher of “(Sportel) brings remarkable energy, innovation and compassion to the classthe Year by Santa Barbara County room every day,” said Bill Cirone, CounSuperintendent Bill Cirone. ty Superintendent of Schools. “And it’s not just those in his classroom or school who benefit. His contributions to Special Olympics as well as his involvement with local colleges that are grooming our next generation of special education teachers make him an extraordinary asset to our community, too.” Canalino School Principal Jamie Persoon stated, “(Sportel) has a unique ability to reach students with a combination of warmth, understanding, and structure that allows them to find success in the face of often significant challenges.” Sportel, who holds a bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University and a master’s degree in education from CSU Northridge, was one of several nominees for Teacher of the Year honors. He was selected after a comprehensive review by a six-person committee made up of administrators, a PTA representative, local business leaders and last year’s Teacher of the Year This fall, Sportel will be considered for California’s Teacher of the Year. The state winner will then move forward in the competition for 2016 National Teacher of the Year. “Our teachers serve over 67,000 students in 20 school districts,” Cirone said. “Being selected Teacher of the Year — and representing all the fine teachers throughout Santa Barbara County — is a tremendous honor. We are delighted to count Brandon Sportel among our ranks of great educators.”

Johnny SalamancaRodriguez was found to have over 5 pounds of crystal methamphetamine in his car early Sunday morning.

Traffic stop leads to 5-pound meth bust

A Santa Clara man was arrested for possession of over 5 pounds of crystal methamphetamine and ¼ pound of brown powder heroin at about 3 a.m. on May 17 in Carpinteria. Johnny Salamanca-Rodriguez, 25, was first contacted by a deputy from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department after the deputy noticed the subject’s vehicle parked in the red zone near the intersection of Bailard and Carpinteria avenues. Salamanca-Rodriguez had multiple aliases; his true identity was connected to a theft warrant out of Sunnyvale, Calif. He was booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail with bail set at $100,000.

Carpinteria Library needs eSL volunteers

Carpinteria is experiencing a shortage of tutors to teach conversation, reading, writing, and other basic skills to adult English learners at the Carpinteria Library.

That’s not the solution

I am writing in response to the writer of the letter “Homeless problem needs solution” in the May 14 issue of Coastal View News. You think we should move or remove the recycling center because you’ve seen people looking for a nickel or two from the trash cans “in plain sight”? There are many reasons a person might be homeless. People have problems; it’s complicated. If it’s so offensive to you perhaps there is something you could do to help the situation instead of calling the police. It seems your complaint isn’t as much about what they do with the money but that you have to be a witness to it all. P.S. Shred, tear up or cut up personal information before putting it in the recycle bin.

Painful limping is not an option

I never thought I would say this, but I was pleased to publicly participate in the largest freeway expansion and development to hit Carpinteria in decades. And I liken it to a knee replacement; it has all the same components: pain, disbelief, fear of the unknown, doctor (read: engineering) jargon, reassurances and ultimately capitulation to surgery with promises of improvement. Years of wear and tear took their toll. The massive upheaval will be as tempered as humanely as possible, and the properties affected will be as protected as possible. But this project is going forward. The mitigation (read: rehab) measures are the most stringent I have seen and all work in favor of our city. It will leave a scar. The small town feeling of Carpinteria will be chipped away by the presence of traffic lights, wide roadways, urbanized looking cement bridges and general sameness experienced in all American cities. But I would rather move forward on a stronger leg than limp painfully through the rest of my life. (The only thing missing are

With sincere thanks to all those who wished me well, I want to let you know I did pass my driving test at the Goleta DMV. The two-year license will expire when (and if) I’m 101 years old. Contrary to the Santa Barbara DMV, I was treated fairly and encouraged by the polite gentleman examiner named Fernando, who directed me through all types of neighborhoods and on the freeway. He wrote “good job” on my test and said he was honored to declare me a safe driver. I’m grateful to retain my independence.

Too many strikes; they should be out

Shipping companies account for a huge amount of pollutants that impact our onshore air quality. More than 50 percent of the ozone forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) comes from shipping companies plying the Santa Barbara Channel. So what are the Santa Barbara Air Pollution Control District and other agencies charged with protecting our environment doing about this? On July 1, 2014 they implemented a trial program with these shipping companies of asking them to please burn lower sulfur fuel to lessen pollution and to slow down to under 12 knots to reduce whale strikes. The S.B. Channel is home to the endangered humpback, fin and blue whales. So instead of asking them to do the right thing and go around the Channel Islands, which would cost them time and money but would substantially reduce NOx on our coast and whale strikes in the channel, they decided on a well meaning but ill-advised program to pay these shipping companies to slow down and to burn lower sulfur fuels. We are paying these huge shipping companies like COSCO, Maersk and Matson $2,500 per transit through the channel

with our taxpayer dollars. These companies are saving thousands of dollars by taking a short cut through the channel. They are polluting our coast, killing endangered whales and are being paid by the district and other agencies for that privilege. That’s like asking big rig truck drivers to please slow down and try not to hit the kids if they could legally drive through school yards to maximize profits. As usual, the human rights of individuals and the environment are being trampled by big money interests. I think our representatives in congress need to address federal maritime laws to protect us and the environment, not some shipping company’s profit margin. What do you think?

Do I have this right? Yes, there is a drought. Yet the state is releasing water from our main state river sources to save a 4-inch non edible smelt and here at home they are releasing water from Lake Cachuma to save the steelhead that cannot get to the water source anyways. Weird! If they raise the water rates, we should raise hell. In my opinion, I see nothing but political B.S. Save the smelt to get the vote? I would love to hear why I am wrong.

Don’t fall into the gaps

At a special meeting on May 18, the Planning Commission virtually rubberstamped the largest construction project ever approved by the city. Most homeowners don’t get projects approved in a single meeting, but that is what happened to the $60 million Caltrans Linden Avenue and Casitas Pass Road Interchanges project. The project is so complex and has been under development for so long by so many people that the commission was understandably reluctant to wade into project details, but there is one important aspect of the project that could easily have been taken up, namely plugging the gaps between the sound walls. One gap is near the Cameo Road neighborhood. The noise-generating features to be constructed on the Whitney Ranch include an intersection with a stoplight, an on-ramp and community gardens. The six-lane freeway roar will add to that. Another gap is near the Pacific Village neighborhood. The noisy freeway plus a new roundabout handling traffic from Via Real when it is turned into a frontage road will all add up. There are other gaps. All the required-but-sometimes-arbitrary design rules were followed, but the question remains, why not get the quality of life improvement of a quieter neighborhood for all Carpinteria neighborhoods (not just some) when the relatively inexpensive sound walls can be constructed now as part of the larger project? The city has the power to require Caltrans to fill in all the gaps as a condition of city approval. The residents in the areas near the gaps need to get the facts and take their case to the City Council. (Go to the city website and follow the 101 Freeway links.) There won’t be any money for sound walls later, so this is the one chance to get it right.

Submitted by Carpinteria Valley Water diStriCt What is now called a millennium drought by some experts continues unabated north and south in California. Cachuma supplies are diminished, State Water supplies are expected to be even lower in the coming year with the lack of Sierra snowpack, and local groundwater levels continue to drop without much rainfall. We do not know when the drought will end. But by conserving as much water as possible now, we can prolong the use of existing supplies until a decision must be made to begin a rationing or allocation program. As a result, on May 13 your Water Board approved Drought Ordinance No. 15-2 declaring a Stage 2 Drought Emergency and requesting customers reduce their water use by 25 percent. A complete text of Ordinance 15-2 is published in this edition of the Coastal View News on another page. Below is a list of the prohibited and restricted uses of water found in the ordinance now in effect. Some are continued from Ordinance No. 15-1 and some are new, as marked.

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

To incorporation and beyond By EydiE Kaufman

on Sept. 28, 1965, the City of Carpinteria came into existence after a contentious campaign to incorporate. Carpinteria is fortunate to have longtime residents who still recall that time with much passion and nostalgia. one such resident, Nilo Fanucchi, is a charming man who has lived in Carpinteria since 1960. Fanucchi was present during and participated in the process of incorporating the city in 1965. he ran the campaign headquarters for the city’s incorporation and believes the incorporation process was difficult largely because of the fear of change. At the time, Fanucchi said, many ranchers controlled the area and had done so quite well for a long time. Younger people like Fanucchi living in Carpinteria “had different ideas” and “wanted to control our destiny.” there were different ideas on whether the town should become more industrial or whether it should have the bluffs and other areas preserved for tourism. Fanucchi said that “the idea of tourism was the worst thing in the world” to some of the locals. however, he added that the lifestyle in the community was changing; Carpinteria was moving away from a sleepy little beach town to something more active. police protection was also a concern. Although Fanucchi confirmed Carpinteria was very safe in 1965, just one officer patrolled the area. the local kids knew the officer’s schedule, Fanucchi said, and would time their drag racing accordingly. initially there were 21 candidates for City Council. Rallies were held and Fanucchi reports that despite the difference in opinion, both sides of the incorporation debate treated each other with respect and, in typical Carpinteria style, decided to work together for the good of the community regardless of the outcome. Fanucchi noted that despite the controversy, “it was a lot of fun ... it was a very interesting time in Carpinteria.”

Carpinteria’s first City Council was made up of residents from all walks of life. Allan Coates, the city’s first mayor, was a teacher at Carpinteria High School. Later he was hired and served as a longtime city manager for Carpinteria. ultimately the top five vote-getters in the council race were Allan Coates, a high school teacher who became the first mayor; James Gray, a dentist; margaret mills, a drugstore owner; ernie Wullbrandt, a plumber, and Robert “olly” olivas, an automobile repairman. interestingly enough, Wullbrandt was against incorporation at first. He only ran for a council seat to keep an eye on the city’s operations, but he wound up serving 23 years with two terms as mayor. James Christiansen, the city’s first and long-time attorney, lives in Goleta now and still practices law. he recalls there were four lawsuits filed over the city’s incorporation, but he “won them all.” the County board of Supervisors had been “calling the shots” for Carpinteria

on and which led to a firefighter getting hurt. the suit also claims domini was unfairly held back from a promotion due to testing manipulation by mingee, and Blair was fired by the chief for whistleblowing. the district’s insurance Services organization score downgrade in late 2012 is cited in the lawsuit as an indicator of health and safety conditions declining under the chief’s leadership. iSo, however, evaluates water delivery effectiveness, and workplace safety concerns fall under the purview of California’s division of occupational Safety and health (Cal-oShA). mingee pointed out at this week’s board meeting that the district has received no citations or recorded complaints from Cal-oShA during his tenure. in addition to labor code violations, the lawsuit alleges intentional infliction of emotional distress by mingee and the district. mingee, the lawsuit states, began referring to the plaintiffs as the “cancer shift” after blair’s brother died of cancer in August of 2012. When the suit was filed, Mingee, who has held a leadership role in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life for years, said those allegations were particularly painful. “What hurts me personally is

the allegation that i would use the word ‘cancer’ as a bullying tactic,” he stated. The fire board voted without comment to release mingee from his contract but released a statement later that evening. “After much deliberation and negotiation over the past few weeks, we have entered into a separation agreement with Chief michael mingee,” the board stated. “the Chief has faithfully served the communities of Carpinteria and Summerland over the past 8 years and the board thanks him for that service. We wish him the best in his retirement.” it went on to state, “because this matter is associated with litigation against the Fire district initiated by current and former employees, we feel it is in the best interest of the district to not comment any further.” during the meeting, Craig murray, general manager of the Carpinteria Sanitary District, spoke briefly about the positive professional relationship he has had with mingee. Carpinteria resident dave Vega also commended mingee for his service to the community. the board will appoint an interim chief to take over on Aug. 1 and begin its search to hire the next Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Chief.

prior to incorporation, but incorporation brought the control to Carpinteria residents. there was even a lawsuit over the beach and whether it could be used by the public, but Christiansen’s efforts helped ensure the existence of our “World’s Safest beach.” Finding a base for city operations proved to be a more challenging task than anticipated. The first City Hall opened in a house on Nov. 1, 1965, and had two full-time and one part-time employees. in 1967, plans to expand its police department motivated the city to rent larger quarters in a warehouse building at the corner of 6th and maple, adjacent to Colson’s towing. City meetings were held at various locations including schools and the Veterans memorial building. it was not until 1975 that the current City hall, located at 5775 Carpinteria Ave., came into existence. the building had been the Western Area headquarters for Chevron uSA. the building and its 4.5 acres of land were purchased by the city

Fire Chief statement

from Chevron in 1974 for $275,000 cash. in February 1975, after remodeling it, the city officially settled into its new home. (At that time, beachfront homes in Carpinteria were selling for approximately $25,000 to $45,000). the new City hall provided space for the five departments at the time: administration, community development, police, public works and community services. Since incorporation, the city has established itself as a viable governmental entity that continues to thrive. Fanucchi believes proof of the incorporation’s success can be seen in how the city operates today. “it is run so well,” he said. Watch for upcoming announcements about the City’s Golden Jubilee Anniversary Celebration and related events. Eydie Kaufman writes a monthly installment on the City of Carpinteria’s incorporation as part of the 2015 celebration marking 50 years of cityhood. Her next article will appear in the June 18 issue of Coastal View News.

I want to thank the board for entering into a mutual agreement to release me from my contract a year early and allowing me to submit for my retirement. As you know, we have been discussing my desire to leave in 2015 since September of last year. I wanted to wait until the Measure was decided to make my official announcement. As in any business, there may come a time when the CEO has fulfilled his goals and the agency may need to change direction. I believe that time has come for CSFD. I’m comforted by the fact that I leave the agency with a vetted Master Plan, in a healthy financial position, a brand new reliable front line fleet, a staffed and in-service Rescue Squad and a management staff that is fully capable of a successful transition. While I’m disappointed that the District was not able to secure the funding necessary to address our aging fire stations, I’m proud that we were able to provide the opportunity for the citizens to be informed about the issue and decide upon the solution. Also, I’m convinced that the Board will continue to seek a solution to this critical issue. The District is poised to be even more healthy and prosperous in the future. Since it still has available large estate sites, our District has ample room to flourish and become even more financially sound. With a positive employee culture, and values of service before self, this fire District can prosper and only continue to improve over time. I would advise the Board to settle for nothing less than these values and be very protective of this Fire District and its potential. I look forward to working with the Board over the next few months to ensure a smooth transition. My immediate goal will be to assist the next Chief in this transition and the Board in developing a feasible plan to address our infrastructure needs. We sold our home last year in preparation of this move. (My wife) is securing employment at Eisenhower Medical Center and has given notice at her work. As we move onto the next phase of our life, I want to thank this wonderful community for all the personal support I have received over my eight years as their Fire Chief. It has been an honor to serve as Carpinteria’s and Summerland’s Fire Chief.

Planners applaud massive interchange project By Peter Dugré

City planners unanimously voted to approve what they described as the largest project ever put on their plates with a 4-0 vote (Commissioner David Allen absent) at the City of Carpinteria Planning Commission meeting on May 18. In total two votes passed, one to permit it and one to amend the city’s coastal plan, to advance the complex Linden Avenue and Casitas Pass Road Interchange and Via Real Extension and Improvement Project, which still must gain approval from the Carpinteria City Council and California Coastal Commission. The massive project, phase 3 in the four-phase widening of the freeway between Ventura County and the City of Santa Barbara, will alter the way traffic flows in and around Carpinteria. It includes replacement of three bridges and the creation of one, punching Via Real through from its eastern segment to Casitas Pass Road and the addition of six traffic lights and a roundabout to Carpinteria streets, to name a few aspects of the project. In order to achieve the infrastructure overhaul, city planners had to carefully concoct mitigation measures to offset some of the impacts on sensitive lands that are protected by both city and state planning codes. Mainly, the city’s Local Coastal Plan will need to be amended by the Coastal Commission in order for the project to proceed. As is, the project violates city mandates to preserve agricultural land uses and wetlands. A nine-acre avocado ranch, known as the Whitney Ranch, lies in the path of where two traffic loops will connect Via Real and Casitas Pass Road to the freeway when the project is completed. The new road will consume five of those acres. In order to offset the depletion of ag land, which requires an alteration of the LCP, the city must dedicate the four remaining acres permanently to ag use. Additionally, the land must be tied to agricultural education. Funds will be set aside for the educational component and more funds for the construction of community gardens and high school ag curriculum as well as cooking classes. Also in a gesture to preserve agricultural land, the Coastal Commission requests that the city turn two parcels of land over to Santa Barbara County.

“It used to be Caltrans would come in and tell us what to do ... now it’s an inclusive democratic process.”

––Planning Commission Chair Jane Benefield

The parcels, located on Via Real between Norman’s Nursery and Casitas Village condominiums, are seasonally planted in row crops. Carpinteria Community Development Department Director Jackie Campbell explained that the Coastal Commission believes that taking the land out of the city’s sphere of influence will make it less likely to be targeted for development. A look at the land on the city’s periphery at similar sites to the parcels in question shows that most have been developed in residential property, whereas county land is more likely to remain agricultural. “The history is that the city has annexed and converted land out of agriculture and created urban development and the county hasn’t,” said Campbell. The process to make the change must gain the approval of the Local Agency Formation Commission. The planning commission recommends that the city council apply for the change, but LAFCO approval is not necessary for the Local Coastal Plan amendment.

Wetland overlay

The city must also create what is called a wetland overlay district that will border the freeway in order to allow encroachment of wetlands and wetland buffer zones in the corridor. To mitigate wetland encroachments, funding will be provided for a pedestrian path between Carpinteria Avenue and Santa Claus Lane and from Carpinteria Avenue to Rincon Beach. The yet-to-be-designed SCL path will encroach wetlands with its own footprint, but balancing the reduction of wetlands by increasing coastal access and coastal recreation opportunities will mitigate impacts. “What you’re seeing

has at least consensus of the Coastal Commission staff,” commented city consultant Jonathan Leech of the odds that the Coastal Commission will approve the LCP amendment and mitigations.

Linden Casitas Interchange Project and Via real extension

Carpinteria’s transportation overhaul moved a step closer to being permitted when the planning commission voted to recommend approval of a Coastal Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit for construction of the project. The city council will still need to give the project the final city stamp before applying for Coastal Commission approval. The new bridges over Highway 101 on Linden Avenue and Casitas Pass Road will provide more clearance for freeway traffic and have wider sidewalks and bike lanes and increased vehicle lanes. Project planning requires one lane to remain open during construction of the bridges, and Carpinteria Public Works will oversee staging of the project. During public comment George Lehtinen voiced concern over gaps in sound walls. Residents had opportunities to vote on where sound walls would be placed during project design, and Via Real and Ogan Road residents opted to have the walls placed on the freeway side of the road rather than in their backyards. “I recommend city planners demand that every sound wall that can be built should be built,” Lehtinen said. Lehtinen also asserted that Caltrans procedures for measuring decibel levels

Project Elements • Raise Highway 101 bridges over Carpinteria Creek • Build a bridge over Carpinteria Creek to extend Via Real to Casitas Pass Road • Raise and widen bridges over Highway 101 on Linden Avenue and Casitas Pass Road • Construct bike lane connecting Via Real and Casitas Pass Road • Reconstruct on and off ramps at Casitas Pass Road • Replace and reconfigure Linden Avenue southbound offramp • Construct roundabout on Ogan Road to facilitate entering Highway 101 northbound • Installation of six new traffic signals at on and off ramps and bridge crossings

resulted in underestimating noise impacts. David Beard of Caltrans assured the commission that decibel level measurements were standard procedure and the readings provided a basis for modeling noise levels. Commissioner John Callender said, “It’s going to be painful for the construction period, but in the end it’s a huge improvement for the city.” Of the long process from planning to permitting, Commission Chair Jane Benefield said, “It used to be Caltrans would come in and tell us what to do ... now it’s an inclusive democratic process.”

the Caltrans design plan for the Linden Casitas Interchange Project and Via real extension and Improvement includes bridges over Linden Avenue and Casitas Pass road and new bridges for Highway 101 and Via real over Carpinteria Creek. there will also be a roundabout on Ogan road and extended on and off ramps near the connection of Casitas Pass road and Via real.

Macker publishes “This World” poetry book

Local poet and lecturer Teddy Macker penned a poetry book “This World” described as “hymns to the actual,” which has been published by White Cloud Press and will be released in late May. Macker is an orchardist and lectures at U.C. Santa Barbara. The book has received much advanced praise including from poet Karina Borwicz, who writes: “There is a current of organic electricity running through Teddy Macker’s poems, much like the current of extraordinary beauty and heartbreak that animates our world.” The foreword for “This World” was written by Brother David Steindl-Rast, Benedictine monk of over 60 years, winner of the Martin Buber Award, one of the first Vatican-sanctioned delegates to participate in Buddhist-Christian dialogue, and author of many spiritual classics.

Bonning reflects on retirement 39-year Cate teacher calls it a career By Peter Dugré

Cate School science teacher Bob Bonning considers the first day of class—fresh faces filtering in, blank slates finding their way into empty seats—the first frame in a coming-of-age film that’s ready to roll right before his eyes. “You see a ninth-grader—or even a senior—you see them on the first day, and that’s a snapshot. Then you get to run the movie the whole time you work with them. That floats my boat,” said Bonning, who will retire at the end of the school year after 39 years at Cate. On his very first day teaching on the Mesa, a bright young student sat in the front row of that opening scene to Bonning’s career. The student, Paul Denison, graduated and later became a teacher at Cate, where he has been for 25 years. Bonning considers Denison one of the many success stories he has witnessed and helped nourish to bloom. He has seen students go from Yale to Juilliard to an acting career. He has seen them go on to own a chop shop for Harley Davidson motorcycles. “They’re all valid success stories; just different,” he said. Bonning is a scientist by nature, a man driven by curiosity, who is more into biology than physics, but he has taught the whole gamut of high school science classes, most recently freshman physics and senior oceanography and a class focused on the California coast. He has been at it long enough to know that teaching life lessons

“You have to own your actions. If they work out, you own that, and if they don’t, you also have to own that.” you learn about it, the more questions you ask and the cooler it becomes,” he said. His methods of teaching the mind and feeding greater curiosity have given him keys to molding students that aren’t easy to access. “He’s just got that magic touch with kids. He understands them, appreciates them. He reaches them in ways other teachers can’t,” commented Headmaster Ben Williams. The school has held several ceremonies recognizing his long tenure, and will again acknowledge his career at commencement. Bonning has worn many hats at Cate. He has been Dean of Students, Dean of Faculty, Director of Residential Life and Science Department Chair twice. True to a piece of advice he lends to young people—“Don’t take yourself too seriously”—Bonning called the leadership roles “baloney,” simply part of being a private school teacher. He emphasizes that he is a teacher first and never spent more time in an administrative capacity than in the classroom.

BoNNiNg’S woRDS of wiSDoM:

Bob Bonning, with 36 years of teaching under his belt in 2012, hangs in his favorite place, the classroom. to young people is just as important as the textbook scientific knowledge he is imparting. “Regardless of what I teach; I know kids aren’t going to remember a bazillion details in three years. Why would you? The most important piece I try to hammer home is the world is a pretty cool place, and the more

BoNNiNg’S woRDS of wiSDoM:

Bob Bonning was captured on camera by a student while grading papers in his twobedroom Cate School apartment in 1976.

“It’s important for kids to work hard at stuff they can control and let stuff go that they can’t control.”

“Treat peers with respect.” “Don’t take yourself too seriously.” Some of his proudest accomplishments are on the tennis courts. The boys tennis team captured the 1985 CIF Tennis Championship, the first CIF crown of any sport in Cate history. The final boys tennis team of his career just won the Tri-Valley League championship in its first season as a TVL competitor. In addition to teaching at Cate, Bonning and wife Ellen have called the Cate Mesa home. “It’s basically been amazing,” he said. After the school year, they will relocate to their home near Mount Shasta, where Bob plans to do “some pretty serious fishing.” He said they look forward to not having a lot of plans. “I’ve been immersed in Cate School and that immersion in a community is probably the thing that kept me here as long as I’ve been here,” he said.

the summerland shore FRAN DAVIS

Water on the brain I’m wondering whether the district that delivers the water in my pipes might possibly be suffering from some kind brain disorder. The Montecito Water District supplies Summerland’s modest water needs in addition to, shall we say, the more robust needs of Montecito’s forested estates. You’d think with a Stage III drought emergency in effect (or maybe it’s Stage IV, I’m losing track) the district would be adopting draconian tactics to get all us water consumers to slow down on the flushing, washing and irrigating. Instead, we’re informed that our water allocations have been increased! Dwellers in single-family residences now have monthly allocations of 27

HCF (hundred cubic feet), up from the previous 25. Hey, and we get 28 HCF for the summer months! According to their monthly bulletin, we can thank this new freshet to the district’s shrewd purchase of “over 5,200 acre-feet of supplemental water in an intensely competitive market!” Exclamation point, theirs. And at a cost of only $1.7 million. The rationale for increasing allocations during a time of unprecedented scarcity is a prize-winner. The reason for the water increase is “to provide customers with the ability to better manage water use.” Isn’t this like giving a kid extra candy and then telling him/her not to eat it? You’d think the district itself might be in charge of better managing water use.

And you might also conclude, given the dire straits we’re in, that it would be a sound idea to put some of this extra water aside to meet the continuing emergency. But no. We get to manage our own water use, including the extra bit. Of course, we pay a premium for the bump up in water. In addition to the cost of the actual liquid, we pay a monthly meter service charge (in our case more than the cost of the water), along with a new “water shortage emergency surcharge.” The surcharge is $1.87 per HCF, “based on a 20 percent reduction in water use.” I guess that 20 percent means across the district. Our family works hard to conserve: saving shower water, installing low-flow devices, using drip lines, letting our trees go without. In April we used only 7 HCF of our 27 HCF allocation. Makes me wonder about the mythical unused 20 HCF—where is it and who, if anyone, gets to use our surplus? Because we are water misers, our water shortage emergency surcharge was only $13.09. Big users would take a bigger hit, but the district has to pay its bills, too, and they’re not making enough money from water sales. Now they’re talking about building their own desalination plant, separate from the city of Santa Barbara, which isn’t too likely to want to share with the heavy guzzlers of Montecito. I’m trying to prepare myself for sticker shock on the costs of delivering desalted seawater.

Summerland’s spirits fictionalized

Here’s the opening line to Karen Wyman’s prize-winning story “Poseidon’s Eyes,” just published in the scififantasy collection, “Writers of the Future, volume 31”: “In a sleepy California beach town, spirits magnify both the good and evil in human hearts.” The sleepy beach town is Summerland, and locals will recognize landmarks and even some of the people. Karen, who writes under the name Kary English, employs the town’s legendary spirits to work her own kind of storytelling magic. The tale won a first-place award

in a worldwide Writers of the Future contest. I’ve read the story, and I can tell you those spirits are far creepier than any I could have dreamed up. Karen revealed that she modeled a main character, Peyton, after long-time resident David Tagles, who died last August. David was a Summerland fixture, a true native son and “character,” beloved by many. The wise Peyton is central to the story, and it’s a crying shame David didn’t live to see this tribute. “Writers of the Future, volume 31” is available through Amazon. Karen’s story can also be read on the internet site Wattpad. The link is: wattpad.com/ story/38419453-poseidon%27-eyes. Yes, you have to sign in to Wattpad to read it, but it’s a fairly simple process.

Blue vision

My daughter Katie Davis, proud product of 12 years in the Carpinteria Unified School District, spent last week in Washington, D.C., attending the Blue Vision Summit. Katie was one of two Sierra Club members selected nationally to attend the summit, which brings ocean conservation leaders together every two years to network, educate and outreach on the state of the ocean. Five hundred people from local, regional and national groups, scientists, explorers and others attended the summit, which included a Healthy Ocean citizen lobby on Capitol Hill. The summit’s mission was “to promote unity, provide tools and raise awareness of the solutions-oriented marine conservation community.” Just judging by the number of seal carcasses washing up on local beaches, you have to hope the marine conservation community comes up with some solutions fairly fast. One good thing: Rain, wherever and whenever, however much and however long. 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.

Three Warriors survive CIF prelims The largest local track meet of the season, CIF Prelims, swept through Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium on May 17, and three Carpinteria High School entrants placed in the top nine in their events to advance to finals on May 24 at Cerritos College. A couple of the qualifiers turned in their best performances yet to make the cut. Monique Sanchez qualified in the pole vault by clearing a new personal record 9 feet. Gabriel Zapien-Ybarra placed fifth with a discus throw of 141’ 3”, and Bobby Contreras was an unexpected qualifier in the shot put. He entered the event unranked and threw a personal record 44’22” to earn the seventh qualifying spot. Girls 200m runner Lauren Rain Williams of Oaks Christian ran a 23.98, bettering the stadium record by 1/100th of a second. Warrior coach Van Latham considered the event another smoothly operated large track meet coordinated by a workforce of dedicated volunteers.

Boys basketball

May 12 – Warrior baseball scored the winning run of a 3-2 league triumph over Malibu High School on a walk off hit by Javier Jasso. The senior second baseman capped a successful Senior Day at John Calderwood Field. Warrior Diego Contreras started at pitcher, and he and reliever David Martinez overcame a first inning 2-run home run to blank the Sharks the rest of the game. Contreras scattered five hits, struck out three and walked two over 5 and 1/3 innings. Martinez took over in the 6th, retired the next two batters and added a hitless and scoreless 7th inning, striking out two and walking one. The 2-0 deficit was erased by the Warriors as Jasso scored on a 1st/3rd double steal in the third, and then Sal Delgado scored from third, on Malcolm Gordon’s sac fly in the fourth. In the seventh, Ricky Medina smashed a hit off the Sharks’ third baseman and reached second with no outs on a throwing error. Senior Jorge Arroyo executed a perfect sacrifice to move Medina to third and Jasso drove a 0-1 fastball through the drawn in infield to bring Medina home. Jasso ended the day 3-for-4, with three stolen bases, a run and RBI. May 14 – In the final regular season game, the Warriors pounded 12 hits to pick up a 10-4 win at Malibu High School. The result secured a third-place tie and playoff berth for the Warriors. The Warriors pounced in the first inning to score five runs on five hits and a walk and provide plenty of breathing room for starting pitcher Sal Delgado. David Martinez led the Warrior onslaught by batting 3-for-3 with a run and two RBI. Jonah Spach added two doubles and scored twice, while Malcolm Gordon had a single, a double, scored twice and had three RBI. Delgado helped himself by reaching base 3-of-4 times and scoring twice. “The story today was the offensive approach and the maturity and patience that our team brought to the contest,” commented Warrior coach Pat Cooney. “We were ready to deal with rain, senior festivities, and a really good left handed Shark ace.” The win improved the Tri-Valley League record for the Warriors to 6-6.

Warrior volleyball falls in playoffs

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

The Carpinteria High School boys volleyball team hosted the high flying Santa Monica High School Vikings in a CIF first round match and suffered a 3-0 (25-19, 25-14, 25-11) defeat. The Warriors attempted to regroup after putting up a fight in game one, but the Vikings proved too powerful. “It was an excellent season, and I’m very proud of these student athletes,” said coach Dino Garcia. The Warriors were near perfect in Tri-Valley League at 11-1—having only lost to Cate School—and finished the season 12-3 after the first round loss in Division 3 playoffs. Cate School finished second in TVL and lost to Culver City 3-0 (2516, 25-20, 25-22) in playoffs.

Halos Pitchforks

&

A reader sends a halo to Helen Breck. “Stay strong and stay true for Caitlyn and Toby.” A reader sends a halo to Anne Fraser for providing free watercolor classes at the Carpinteria Library. “The students greatly appreciated your dedication and patience.” A reader sends a halo to the helpful folks on Chaparral, who pointed out that the reader’s wayward dog had been picked up by a neighbor and delivered to a local vet. The reader also sends a halo to the wonderful woman who allowed the reader’s dog to jump in her car and delivered him to said vet. “A collar will always be on my dog from now on.” A reader sends a halo to Jason and Katie at the Farm Cart for their generous donation of delicious, giant oranges for The Howard School Jog-A-Thon. A reader sends a halo to Sweet Lisi’s Baked Goods for going above and beyond by turning the reader’s son’s tee-ball cupcakes into delicious works of art. “Who knew gluten-free, dairy-free cupcakes could taste better than the real deal!” A reader sends a halo to her wonderful husband, Phil, for taking care of her. “You rock, baby.” A reader sends a halo to all the beautiful families at The Howard School. “You made Teacher’s Appreciation Week the best ever! We love you to the moon!” A reader sends a halo to the businessman in town who charges a sliding scale based on clients’ politics—from free to full price.

What’s new at the harbor seal rookery? ADAM CAIRA

The following counts taken from May 11-17 were compiled from Carpinteria Seal Watch volunteer reports. Carpinteria harbor seal beach closure runs from Dec. 1 to June 1 each year. Seal Watch volunteers are still welcome to sign up by calling 684-2247.

High Adult Count

Visitors

328

High Pup Count

Most pups were born early and are now difficult to distinguish from adults.

Over 1,320 people came to view the seals. Volunteers spoke with visitors from Italy, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Argentina, Sweden, Germany England, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium and Poland and from the states of Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Connecticut, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New York, Oregon, Kentucky Illinois, Texas, Michigan, Ohio and many locations in California. Dolphins, breaching humpback whales, gray whales and their calves were spotted by watchers and visitors. Sea lions continue to share the beach with the harbor seals, many looking sickly.

Disturbances

This week there were three disturbances from birds, a helicopter, a beachwalker with a dog, six from the pier, a bike and a clapping child at the overlook and a fisherman. There were also four disturbances that occurred for no apparent reason.

Natural History Notes

A reader sends a halo to Conan O’Brien. “The second coolest ginger in Carp!”

Molting follows pupping season for the mothers that gave birth. During the molting the seals’ skin heats up to aid the in the shedding and regrowth of their hair, so spending as much time as possible hauled out during molting is important in order to conserve heat and avoid excess energy loss. Males and female seals who did not give birth tend to molt later in the summer. Molting seals have a bright crisp looking coat and are very noticeable from the lookout.

A reader sends a halo to his beautiful wife of 10 years. “I wrote a 500 word ballad on how great you are, but they said halos have a 30 word limit.”

More Info

A reader sends a halo to the men at Faith Lutheran Church for cooking a fabulous mother’s day breakfast. “Thank you.”

A reader sends a halo to Britney Spears. “I finally got to meet you at Coffee Bean. Heard you are in town. Thank you for saying my son was cute and your autograph.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the birds that disturbed the seals last week. When disturbed, harbor seals may flee and become separated from their pups. “They should be ashamed, fined and imprisoned for violating the Marine Mammal Protection Act.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the person driving the red SUV late Friday night. “You almost hit me in your rush to get off the freeway. You couldn’t have waited three more seconds and gotten on the freeway after I crossed the onramp?” A reader sends a pitchfork to the police in town. Stop harassing and messing with people that are innocent and go after real criminals. A reader sends a pitchfork to families that park their cars on their lawn. “Come on, let’s try to be classy.” A reader sends a pitchfork to the owner of an unkempt local front yard. “That jungle sticks way out over the sidewalk and is a horrible mess.”

900 reasons to remember a wallet

A man reported that he entered the restroom at a Santa Claus Lane restaurant on May 6 and rested his wallet on the sink. After he relieved himself, he exited the restroom without retrieving the wallet. After some time, he reentered the restroom to search for the wallet and found it, but it was $800 light. It had contained nine $100 bills and upon his return only had one remaining. He told deputies he planned to contact the restaurant owner about the possibility of surveillance footage showing the courteous thief or thieves who left behind the $100 and wallet.

Breaking glass

A man frustrated that he had been barred from his home for alleged narcotics abuse lashed out by punching and breaking a window to the Azalea Drive home, according to the witness who called sheriff’s deputies. An officer hunted through a neighborhood for the man, 24, who reportedly fled on a black beach cruiser. The black bike, according to the deputy, was spotted outside a neighborhood home known as a drug house. When the man exited the home and saddled up on his bike, the deputy— who noted the man had a history of fleeing—tracked him and ordered him off the bike. After the deputy told the man he wanted to discuss the shattered window, the man said, “Prove it,” but the deputy said he didn’t have to, it was a citizen’s arrest being executed by the person who witnessed him breaking the window. The man turned and took on a posture as if he was about to bolt, so the deputy swept the man’s legs and handcuffed him. He alerted the deputy to some “dope” he had in his sock. The deputy removed the crystalline substance that was bagged and folded in a bill from the man’s sock and brought him to jail.

Klepto conspiracy

Two women, 32 and 54, were busted after a string of alleged thefts of random items from four Linden Avenue stores on May 11. They took soaps, jewelry, knickknacks, a key chain and two T-shirts that were on display on the wall of a bakery. Their alleged brazen thievery caught up with them when a shop owner called the sheriff’s department to report the crime. The women voluntarily opened their purses to reveal the cornucopia of stolen goods. The shop owner said he had noticed the women perusing the store and rec-

The McDonalds manager called sheriff’s deputies to get to the bottom of annoying phone calls that have been ringing the fast food joint for some time. The caller ID showed the same person calling an estimated five times per day asking for employees who were not working at the time. Also a female employee had been receiving texts from the same phone number with the general topic: “what’s up?” Another curious occurrence was multiple occasions of pizza delivery guys showing up with pizza orders placed to McDonalds. The manager believed that the same caller was responsible for the gag pizza orders.

ognized them from a prior shoplifting incident. He intended to ask them to leave but was busy with other patrons and they left on their own. He hadn’t noticed them steal anything. A separate owner said they had helped him move a piece of furniture, and he also had been unaware of the shoplifting. Deputies tacked a conspiracy charge onto the alleged thieving tandem for their cooperation in committing the crimes. They also uncovered some meth and two syringes in the 32-year-old’s purse, so she outdid her alleged co-conspirator in the number of crimes for the day.

They were married on May 6, 1945 at Mount Carmel Church in Montecito.

CVN goes to the Gahans

Former Carpinterians Jim and Chris Gahan, fourth and fifth from left, recently retired to Panama, and local friends and family traveled all the way there to deliver Coastal View News. Travelers who joined them on the Pacific side of Panama were, from left, Rachelle, Jimmy and James Gahan—followed by Jim and Chris—and Halleh, Coral, Cooper, Mikyla, Danny and Jacob DeAlba and Kiki and Nancy Garibay. They spent their time in the pool, at the beach or in a hammock, woke up to howler monkeys and exotic birds and relaxed with food, drinks and family time.
