Police arrested a 15-year-old near Carpinteria High School for possession of a .44 caliber revolver in a school zone on Wednesday, Feb. 7.

Teen arrested near Carpinteria High School with unloaded ﬁrearm

A 15-year-old boy was arrested near Carpinteria High School on Wednesday, Feb. 7 after 12:30 p.m. for possession of an unloaded .44 caliber Smith and Wesson revolver. According to Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Raquel Zick, administrators at the high school reported an occupied vehicle near campus that “seemed suspicious” to Community Resource Deputy Bryan Dickey. When contacted by Dickey, the 15-year-old in the driver’s seat threw a backpack from the vehicle; inside that backpack, deputies located an unloaded firearm. The 15-year-old boy was booked at Santa Maria Juvenile Hall, while the car’s passenger was released to a guardian. Charges for the 15-year-old boy include felony possession of a gun in a school zone, minor in possession of a firearm, carrying a concealed firearm and possession of an unregistered firearm. “The Sheriff’s Office would like to commend the school administrators for their

Coastal View News • Tel: (805) 684-4428 observation and for quickly sharing their concerns with CRD Dickey. This partnership resulted in securing an illegally possessed weapon and ensuring the safety of the Carpinteria community,” Zick said. During the Carpinteria City Council’s Monday, Feb. 12 meeting, Lieutenant Butch Arnoldi gave a report on the incident to the council. “Fortunately, there was no live ammunition anywhere in the vehicle or on the person, so that’s a good thing,” Arnoldi said during the council meeting. Councilmember Mónica Solórzano expressed concern regarding the gravity of a firearm near the school campus. “Do you know if CUSD is planning any sort of follow up with the sheriffs in terms of engagement on that with the high school, because it’s a very concerning incident,” Solórzano asked Arnoldi. Arnoldi said that while he is unable to comment in public at this time, the Sheriff’s Office is working on a response in conjunction with the school district that will be shared in the near future.

BEGA teams up with Therapy Dogs of SB

BEGA North America – an outdoor architectural lighting company headquartered at 1000 Bega Way in Carpinteria – is the new Carpinteria Community Sponsor for Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara, the latter organization told CVN last week. The sponsorship will help support the nonprofit Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara’s programs in Carpinteria, including ARF! (Animals + Reading = Fun!) – where students can read to therapy dogs – therapy dog visits to local schools, and Wag Well, a program that helps local children with their stress and anxiety. “Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara has intentionally made Carpinteria a priority over the past six months as it has historically been an underserved area. We are delighted to partner with schools and local organizations to offer Therapy Dog, Literacy and Mindfulness Programs to the community,” said Carey Bradshaw, Therapy Dogs of Santa Barbara executive director. At Aliso Elementary School, the organization will offer ARF! to at-risk first through third grade students at Aliso Elementary School during Spring 2024, and currently offers Wag Well to kindergarten through fifth grade students. At Canalino Elementary School, therapy dogs visit throughout the school year and during Book Fair events; the nonprofit also offered ARF in afterschool programs in Fall 2023. Carpinteria Middle School also hosts the Wag Well program for its Workability class. The nonprofit also visits the Carpinteria Community Library on the first Wednesday of every month for its ARF program and provides therapy dog visits to Girls Inc. of Carpinteria as part of its afterschool program.

Linden Hall will not open as planned due to frustrating permit process, owner says City says permitting took longer than expected due to staff vacancy

BY ATMIKA IYER Carpinteria’s long-awaited Linden Hall – the sister restaurant of Santa Barbara’s Revolver Pizza that was set to open at 890 Linden Ave. – will not open as planned, owner Nick Bodden told the city council on Monday. Bodden, who spoke during public comment, expressed frustrations with the city approval process for a permit. “I opened up my first restaurant in Santa Barbara in the middle of the pandemic of 2020 (in) August and that process was a lot easier than what I just went through for the past ten months,” Bodden said. “It’s frustrating for a small business owner who puts everything into a project when 10 months down the line, I have nothing else but the option to have to close and not see everything I worked on come to fruition.” Bodden said that a 10-month-long process is incredibly extensive and ultimately, for a small business owner, unsustainable. “…People might not want to go through what I just went through and it’s unfortunate, because it’s a very lovely space, and I’ve looked forward to wanting to open up a place here, but it’s

frustrating the timeline that people have to work with,” Bodden added. He said he wouldn’t wish his experience on anybody, and hopes his feedback will help the next small business owner who hopes to contribute to the city’s commercial and restaurant spaces. Despite Bodden’s withdrawal from the project, the city of Carpinteria’s Community Development Director Nick Bobroff reported during the meeting that the restaurant is near the end of the permit approval process and the property owner, architect and city staff are still working on finalizing approval. “In fact, just earlier today both the Public Works Department and Building and Safety had indicated that they are prepared to issue permits by the end of this week, provided all fees are paid,” Bobroff said. Bobroff admitted that the process did take three months longer than expected and attributed that to a vacancy in the Building and Safety department. The restaurant’s Instagram page @lindenhallrestaurant announced the news earlier this week, stating, “Maybe one day, we’ll be able to welcome you back here with open arms and hearts!” The restaurant’s executive chef Will Moon and general manager Sierra House

City recognizes employees for years of service Retirees Dave Durflinger, Roy Harthorn honored for city contributions

BY ATMIKA IYER The Carpinteria City Council unanimously recognized several employees – including Dave Durflinger, retired city manager, and Roy Harthorn, retired contract building inspector – for their years of service to the city during Monday night’s council meeting. Durflinger, who retired in December 2023 after more than 20 years as city manager, was recognized with a presentation and a plaque on a rock outside of Carpinteria City Hall that reads, “A dedicated leader whose legacy of unwavering commitment has left an indelible impact on the city organization and community,” alongside his name and years of service to the city. “(The rock) signifies the fact that he has been the rock of the city for the last 21 years,” Durflinger’s successor, Michael Ramirez, said on Monday. “We realized there was no precedent for that, no manual that told you what to give the 21-year retirement city manager … This was the bookend of the gifts we’ve been able to provide Dave for all of his service.” When the council was previously asked about how they wished to honor Durflinger after his retirement, Councilmember Mónica Solórzano suggested a plaque that would permanently mark Durflinger’s contributions to the city. “It’s a beautiful plaque with some really kind words on there. It really means a lot to me,” Durflinger said. “I want to thank the council and congratulate Roy Harthorn for being recognized tonight. It’s much deserved.” Harthorn was honored for his 26 years of service. His first venture with the city began in 1997 as a Wildan employee and continued as a code consultant contractor beginning 2001. His last day with the city was on Nov. 15, 2023. The council recognized Harthorn’s extensive academic background, which includes a B.A. from Sonoma State University, post-graduate Studies at Califor-

The resolution also highlighted Harthorn’s extensive experience as a seismic expert for the state of California, including his authoring of “Temporary Shoring & Stabilization of Earthquake Damaged Historic Buildings – Practical Considerations for Earthquake Response & Recovery in California.” “This valuable reference was created by Roy in response to a request from the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Office of Historic Preservation and the California Building Official Organization,” Councilmember Roy Lee read aloud from the resolution. The resolution continued to thank Harthorn for the expertise and effort he provided the city of Carpinteria in reviewing all major housing and com-

mercial constructions within city limits. “Roy’s depth of expertise in building and safety, seismic safety, accessibility, and historical preservation provided critical support to city staff, private developers and architects in navigating the challenges and complexities often encountered in development projects,” Councilmember Wade Nomura read aloud from the resolution. Harthorn received a physical copy of the resolution and thanked the council for the recognition. He mentioned that he learned his own grandfather was also a building inspector after it was listed in a retirement resolution from the city of Fillmore. “I had no idea. Clearly, it’s in the blood,” Harthorn said. The city also honored several non-retired employees who recently hit milestones in their years of city service. Dan Chepley, chief building inspector;

Tim Gray, maintenance worker II; Robert Howard, public works supervisor; John Ilasin, public works director; Licette Maldonado, administrative services director; Henry Menendez, code compliance officer II; Maria Olivas, office assistant II; and Marysol Smith, associate planner, all recently reached five years of service with the city. City Clerk Brian Barrett and Erin Maker, environmental program manager, celebrated ten years with the city. Nick Bobroff, community development director; Manny Gonzalez, senior parks and facilities maintenance technician; David Hernandez, code compliance supervisor; David Huff, public works lead; and Anthony Vega, maintenance worker II, recently hit 15 years with the city. Lorena Esparza, administrative assistant II, was also honored for her 35 years with the city of Carpinteria.

Council appeals planning commission’s approval of 4745 Carpinteria Ave. Public commenters share concerns over Carpinteria compatibility, height limit violations BY ATMIKA IYER The Carpinteria City Council voted 4-0 on Monday, with one abstention, to appeal the Carpinteria Planning Commission’s approval of the 24-unit commercial and residential project proposed for 4745 Carpinteria Ave. A public hearing will be held at a future meeting for the council to decide whether to continue with, amend or veto the project. The planning commission had approved the project – which has bounced between the city’s review boards since it first appeared in December 2022 – during its Feb. 5 meeting. The project is headed by developer Justin Klentner, CEO of Western Built Construction; Sun Coast Rentals currently occupies the property. The mixed-use development takes advantage of new housing density laws that allow developers to build denser developments than what may be allowed by city ordinances or its general plan. In exchange for a denser development, this project includes three income-restricted one-bedroom units. While the commission instituted many conditions of approval – including the designation of an onsite manager, landlord-provided Wi-Fi and more – these did little to deter the projects’ critics, many of whom cited the city’s General Plan in their claim that the project was in violation of city development practices. “This project is not consistent with Carpinteria’s general plan, although the staff report claims it’s consistent. Their report is not only misleading, but inaccurate,” Carpinteria community member Amrita Salm said during public comment. “The planning commission and the city council do not need to approve projects that are not consistent with the general plan.” Speaking on behalf of the Carpinteria Valley Association (CVA), President Mike Wondolowski said that the association believed the planning commission was in error in its approval of the project and called on the council to appeal the approval. “One specific issue that’s critically important to the city is the 30-foot height limit,” Wondolowski said. “This is an applicable and objective city standard that is key to the intent and letter of our General Plan and our CLUP (Comprehensive Land Use Plan).” He added that the approval of this project sets a dangerous precedent for the degree by which the 30-foot height limit is violated when housing density laws allow for such height concessions. The current project exceeds the limit by five feet. Architectural Review Board Chair Brad Stein – who spoke during public comment for the project, with staff later

During Monday night’s council meeting, public commenters claimed that the project proposed for 4745 Carpinteria Ave. – seen in drawings on the Ninth Street side – was incompatible with Carpinteria. noting that he was speaking as a private citizen – said he originally voted against the project then switched to a yes. He told the council he was given assurances on revisions to the project’s design that were never delivered; “I would reverse my vote today and go back to a no vote on the ARB,” he said Monday. “We always here in Carpinteria wanted to look at how it blends into the neighborhood. This project in no way does,” Stein said. “I was assured if my vote was turned, the developer would find a way to set it back and lower the elevation on the ninth street side. This has not happened.” Following the end of public comment, Mayor Al Clark said that he sees a dire need to build housing but believes that the project requires a few more amendments. “I support housing on this site. However, I’m somewhat compelled by the last presentation. I think this project is almost there, it needs a couple more tweaks. Mainly, I think that because it is such an important project being the first one out of the block, even though it’s a small project, it may set a very big precedent and so I think it’s appropriate for the council to take a look at this.” He added that this project presents an opportunity for the council to “harmonize” new state housing laws with local priorities, suggesting that an appeal would allow this to happen. “How do we do this harmonization?

I think it would be a good effort for the city council to approve that ourselves,” Clark said. Councilmember Roy Lee agreed that the council should consider appealing the commission’s decision and put forth the

motion to appeal. Councilmember Wade Nomura seconded, and the appeal received a unanimous vote from the council; Councilmember Mónica Solórzano abstained, citing the project’s proximity to her home.

Carpinteria landlords who issue nofault just cause evictions must now pay two months’ worth of rent, or $6,500 – whichever is greater – to their tenants, per a new resolution passed by the Carpinteria City Council during its Monday, Feb. 12 meeting. No-fault just cause evictions cover situations when the owner or their family intends to occupy the property themselves; the property is being taken off the market or an ordinance demands vacation of premises; or the unit is being demolished or substantially remodeled. The council initially approved relocation assistance for no-fault just cause evictions on Sept. 11, 2023, then set at one month’s rent plus a dollar, or a sum approved by council. On Monday, Community Develop-

ment Principal Planner Mindy Fogg reported that after surveying nearby communities with strong tenant protections for no-fault just cause evictions, city staﬀ believed the amount should be increased to $6,500, or two months’ worth of rent – whichever is greater. The staff report also cited the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s 2024 Small Area Fair Market Rent report which calculated a one-bedroom unit to be $3,080, and a two-bedroom unit to be $3,480 per month, in Carpinteria. “Averaging those amounts together and allowing for two months’ worth of rent assistance, you can assume the need for at least $6,500 as a reasonable relocation amount in the Carpinteria area,” Fogg said. –– Atmika Iyer

This report covers Feb. 5 – 11, 2024

High Adult Count

Average Count

PUPS

CVN’s Seal Watch weekly report, written by Seal Watch volunteers, covers activities at the Harbor Seal Rookery. The group can be reached at carpsealwatch@gmail. com or at (805) 364-3194. The rookery is located immediately east of Casitas Pier, between the Carpinteria Bluﬀs Nature Preserve and the Carpinteria State Beach. Due to the early February storm, Seal Watch data for Sunday, Feb. 3 was not available.

NATURAL HISTORY NOTES

There are many pregnant moms at the Carpinteria rookery. Seals mate in the water. The gestation includes a period of delayed implantation when the fertilized egg divides. It then will stop growing and ﬂoats in the uterus for about three months. It implants on the uterine wall and continues to grow for nine months. Pups are born between February and March and weigh about 15-24 pounds at birth. After about four to six weeks, pups are weaned from their mother’s rich, fatty milk. They can gain 35-40 pounds in that time. A pup learns to catch and eat shrimp and bottom-dwelling crustaceans after it is weaned.

VISITORS

The count was low due to rainstorms but totaled 914 people. People came from Brazil, England, Canada, China, Germany, Poland, Hong Kong, Italy, Mexico, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Washington, Oregon, Maine, Massachusetts, Virginia, Utah, Ohio, Wisconsin, New York, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey and Washington, DC.

DISTURBANCES

Only one disturbance was recorded.

Please consider honoring the Marine Mammal Protection Act and not walking the seal sanctuary beach all year. Do not 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 always remain outside the rope area.

Carpinteria Seal Watch has begun its annual volunteer schedule during the pupping season. Seal watchers do some monitoring of our local seals year-round; we would like to increase visitor services and data collection year-round, but more volunteers are always needed. Contact Seal Watch at carpsealwatch@gmail.com or at (805) 364-3194 if you’d like to help.

The aquatics superintendent position

received eight applications, which are currently being screened for interviews. Ramirez said the city hopes to conduct interviews by the week of Feb. 26. The application for assistant city manager closed on Feb. 2 with a total of 53 applicants. Preliminary interviews began last week for applicants who met the requirements of the position, according to Ramirez. –– Atmika Iyer

City recognizes Black History Month 2024

During its Monday, March 12 meeting, the Carpinteria City Council unanimously proclaimed February 2024 to be Black History Month in Carpinteria, following the countywide theme of “More Than a Month” and recognizing the national theme of African Americans and the Arts. The council initially read aloud the resolution during its Jan. 22 meeting but was able to provide the proclamation to a community leader during Monday’s meeting: Dianne Travis-Teague from Paciﬁca Graduate Institute. “It is my honor to accept the proclamation alongside those in the Santa Barbara community making history daily. We are resilient, we are resolute and we will continue working hard to ensure new opportunities for our families, our children, our grandchildren and our community,” Travis-Teague said. The proclamation honored author, journalist and historian Carter G. Woodson, who helped establish the event of Black History Month and highlight the history, experiences and achievements of Black Americans.

Following passages recognized notable Black figures whose contributions had a significant impact in the region including Horace McMillan, Anita Mackey, Valencia Nelson, Babatunde Folayemi, William Downey, Grover C. Barnes and Sojourner Kincaid Rolle. It also recognized the multigenerational efforts of local organizations such as Martin Luther King, Jr. Santa Barbara Committee, Endowment for Youth Community, NAACP, Gateway Educational Services, Santa Barbara Young Black Professionals, Healing Justice Santa Barbara and Juneteenth Santa Barbara. “Black History is not just about the struggles Black families have been through, but rather it is a time of rejoicing, celebrating accomplishments, integrity, leadership, and determination, and showing true character,” Councilmember Mónica Solórzano read aloud from the proclamation. “We honor history and celebrate the progress that we have made. We are resilient and resolute in creating new opportunities for future generations.” –– Atmika Iyer

Preserve western bluffs from development

Like many of you I attended the Board of Architectural Review hearing to demonstrate my concern with the proposal to build a large hotel on some of the last remaining coastal open space in our community. When similar development proposals have come forward in Santa Barbara, such as the San Marcos Foothills development, I have worked with the citizens group raising funds to purchase the land, and secured county funds to help. While the value of this property is beyond what the county can afford alone, the county could assist, and I stand at the ready to help fundraise to preserve the western bluffs from development in perpetuity. These bluffs have been a special place for generations, long before this land was dubbed “Carpinteria” by Cabrillo. The village of Mishopshno was located not far away and the Chumash hunted on the bluffs. My family and I have a deep connection to the Carpinteria Bluffs, often taking walks along the trails onto the shoreline, which my daughter named “the Starfish Beach Ocean.” Navajo have a ritual and ceremony to ground a baby onto their home, and the bluffs are where my youngest Navajo daughter is rooted. Rather than creating a resort destination on the bluffs, away from local small businesses, we should seek to promote our Downtown T. Our community prides itself on our environmental values, and we do our best to live up to them, even if we sometimes fall short. Now is the time to redouble our commitment to protecting our environment and climate.

District wastes resources on legal fight

I am Rogelio Delgado, former school board member from 2016 to 2020. Justice has spoken. The judge and a two people commission ruled in favor of Jay Hotchner, 3-0. The school district’s allegations have remained allegations. $1.4 million dollars were wasted in 2021, the district appealed and lost trying to get rid of Jay Hotchner. Now, they have just wasted $3.5 million dollars in 2023. Those millions could have helped create more student programs, hired more teachers and increased employees’ salaries. An appeal by the district is more likely to be lost again and the school district may create a potential insolvency. Jay Hotchner has been elected the Union president for decades and thus has the support to represent and protect the community, teachers, students and stakeholders.

The attack on building on the bluffs has been challenged and hopefully defeated! Now developers and our present supervisor Das Williams want to contaminate the beautiful mountain views behind Casitas Village and Villa del Mar and many of our mobile home parks. Bailard Avenue, which gives access to tenants presently living there, is already overcrowded and cannot accommodate more traffic. The county is now contemplating building three-story buildings and adding 176 units. The new tenants would have to access this new housing complex through Bailard Avenue, and this road is already extremely crowded. The frontage road and the freeway would also be impacted tremendously.

Unfortunately, our Supervisor Das Williams brought marijuana to Carpinteria, near our schools and now supports this project. We need to fight against destroying our small town and also elect politicians, like Roy Lee for county supervisor! Roy will support our Carpinteria’s unique small and natural town appeal vote for Roy Lee!

Lee better choice for district one

Wake up voters! I just read the latest editorial in the Montecito Journal by Executive Editor Gwyn Lurie, “Montecito, The Das, and a new Kid in Town.” In the article, she points out how District One Supervisor, Das Williams, has constantly shown a downright lack of interest in supporting the needs of his district. She went on to cite examples like Williams’ handling of the cannabis permit process in Carpinteria, his opposition to SBCAG’S decision to award $1.1 million for master planning around La Cumbre Plaza and his unbelievable stance on the removal of the ring nets in Montecito. Gwyn points out that there is a much better choice than Das for supervisor in District One this year: Roy Lee, our own Carpinteria City Councilmember. At the end of the article, she states that even though it is evident that Roy Lee is a better choice, Das will probably win the election, likely due to him receiving party endorsements.

Your vote counts and does make a difference. Do not rely on tainted party endorsements. Make a real difference this year! Vote for Roy Lee for District One Supervisor in the upcoming elections.

Leslie Esposito Carpinteria

Roy Lee better for local government

They say that things are a mess in Washington. Few disagree. Party politics are morally bankrupt, and greed, power and just plain poor behavior have replaced serving the needs of our country. Unfortunately, we have some of that here in Santa Barbara County. It is time for a change. There is still strength in local government. The people of Carpinteria deserve honest representation that can be carried forward from Carpinteria into the county government. I will be voting for Roy Lee for First District County Supervisor.

John Culbertson Carpinteria

Roy Lee a true public servant

A public servant or a career politician? This is our simple choice in the upcoming election of first district supervisor of Santa Barbara County. Roy Lee is a rare individual. A true public servant who has no further political aspirations other than serving the community where he lives and works. He has proven this by his dedicated work on the Carpinteria City Council and as a hard-working business owner. Das Williams is a career politician who already has his sights set on a state senate seat and depends on his party’s good graces and other special interests to advance those future jobs. He has proven this with the cannabis permitting fiasco, the opposition to the La Cumbre master planning development and the abrupt removal of the Montecito ring nets. We will always have an overabundance of career politicians to wade through, but how often do we get the opportunity to elect a true servant of the people? I, for one, am ready for a public servant.

Social media: strengths and challenges through each age group In recent weeks, several essential news items have brought to light more examples of the dangers of social media. This article doesn’t look to minimize the dire nature of ﬁnding ways to keep people safe. We must communicate and work together to ensure children’s and young people’s physical safety in addition to the mental health piece I discuss in this article.

MY WELLNESS NOW

Children and Adolescents (5-18)

VICKIE GONZALEZ Social media is a part of our daily lives. It has both strengths and challenges, including how it impacts mental health. In this article, I wanted to break it down by age group and brieﬂy discuss how to navigate the challenges it can present to mental health. As always, this information intends to foster curiosity and conversation.

Strengths: Connection and support oﬀer a way to connect with peers and share experiences that build supportive online communities. Adolescents also often ﬁnd peer support in online communities where they can connect with others facing similar challenges. This can foster a sense of belonging. It also provides opportunities for educational resources that can foster learning and creativity. Adolescents can

A study in early 2020 found that 36% of teenagers say they wake up at least once throughout the night to check their phones, and 40% say they use a mobile device right before bedtime. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting screen time for children to ensure overall well-being. access resources – including those around mental health resources – that can raise awareness and reduce stigma. Challenges: According to research done by the Cyberbullying Research Center, close to 37% of students aged 12 to 17 have experienced cyberbullying. Social media allows others to be anonymous, which can make it easier to target others. It can lead to an increase in anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. Constantly comparing oneself to others through social media can also trigger feelings of inadequacy, lower self-esteem and decreased self-worth. A study in early 2020 found that 36% of teenagers say they wake up at least once throughout the night to check their phones, and 40% say they use a mobile device right before bedtime. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting screen time for children to ensure overall well-being; social media can contribute to sleep disturbances and sedentary behavior and impact mental health in negative ways, including an increase in depression.

Young Adults (18-30)

Strengths: In a similar way to children and adolescents, for many young adults, it serves as an important platform for maintaining and strengthening their social connections. It can provide a space for sharing about themselves, fostering a sense of community. Platforms such as LinkedIn can offer young adults ways to network by facilitating professional connections, developing their careers and finding jobs. Challenges: Young adults often face harassment and trolling online. Research has shown that over 40% of Americans aged 18 to 29 have experienced some form of online harassment. Excessive use of social media contributes to digital addiction, which can lead to anxiety and sleep disruption. In 2021, a survey revealed that almost 90% of young adults aged 18 to 29 used social media, with more than 75% accessing the platforms daily. Like adolescents, for young adults, ongoing exposure to social media can also lead to many social comparisons and fear of missing out. The Journal of Abnormal Psychology reported a significant increase in major depressive episodes correlating with the rise of social media use. Needing validation through likes and comments can also create a cycle of dependency on social media for self-worth.

Adults (30+)

Strengths: As with the other age groups, social media can allow adults to stay connected with friends and family, including those who may be far away geographically. This can contribute positively to mental health by fostering a sense of emotional support. Adults can also benefit from social

media as a source of information and awareness. Challenges: Research has shown that almost 70% of adults feel overwhelmed with all the available news; screen time must be managed, and boundaries must be set to minimize digital fatigue and overwhelm. Balancing professional and personal life on social media can lead to stress and burnout among adults, and there is a significant correlation between high social media use and increased levels of depression for adults aged 30 to 49. Additionally, exposure to news and political discussions and pressures on social media platforms can contribute to heightened stress and anxiety levels among adults. So, what can we do to help with this? Promote screen time limits. Several studies have shown that limiting social media use to 30 minutes per day results in a significant reduction in depression and loneliness. Of course, this may vary across age groups, but the theme here is decreasing how much screen time is spent daily. Observe mindful posting. Think before you post, including the permanence of it. Lean in towards positive self-expression without oversharing. Digitally detox. Set aside specific hours or days without screens. Go outside, have face-to-face interactions, and engage in activities that help physical and mental health. It’s essential to set clear boundaries when choosing specific times for work and personal activities; this helps with burnout and feeling disconnected from others. Although social media can provide many benefits regarding connection and information sharing, we must recognize the potential negative effect it may have on mental health across all age groups. There’s a lot of research that correlates between social media usage and mental health issues. It is complex and multifaceted, and we must understand the nuances to develop strategies to promote more positive online experiences and find ways to minimize any potential adverse effects on mental well-being. “You should sit in nature for 20 minutes a day… Unless you’re busy, then you should sit for an hour.” – Zen saying Vickie Gonzalez has been licensed for almost 20 years as an LMFT and currently provides counseling, coaching and consulting services.

Areas highlighted in orange, seen above, were required to develop Groundwater Sustainability Plans following the 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act.

Carpinteria Groundwater Sustainability Agency updates BY ROBERT MCDONALD, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CGSA Groundwater is a vital water supply for Californians who have been aﬀected by prolonged drought and unreliable surface water supplies. Over the last decade, we have seen reservoirs across the state drop to historic lows. Fortunately, in recent years we have seen them recover. When surface supplies dwindle and rain does not come to the rescue, California water agencies become more dependent on groundwater supplies to meet their customers’ water demands. Additionally, during droughts, the agricultural sector becomes more dependent on their private wells to ensure that their crops survive the dry and oftentimes unpredictable conditions to produce food. According to the Department of Water Resources, groundwater accounts for 60% of California’s total water supply during drought and 40% in average years. Throughout California, unregulated groundwater use has resulted in damaged infrastructure including buckled roads, cracked foundations and land subsidence (settling or sinking of the Earth’s surface). Groundwater dependence and overdraft have also caused water quality issues such as seawater intrusion (the movement of ocean water into freshwater aquifers). These negative impacts have highlighted the need to properly manage these shared groundwater resources. The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) was passed in 2014 to ensure that groundwater resources are protected and brought into sustainable management within 20 years. Each groundwater basin in the state was ranked as either a high, medium, low or very low priority basin, shown in the attached graphic. Those ranked as high- or medium-priority were required to create Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) and submit Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs). The Carpinteria Groundwater Basin (CGB) was designated as a high-priority basin in 2018 by the Department of

Water Resources (DWR) and was required to form a GSA and develop a GSP. The Carpinteria Groundwater Sustainability Agency (CGSA) was established in 2020; administrative and operations costs were funded through a loan from Carpinteria Valley Water District (CVWD) for fiscal years 2021 and 2022. In fiscal year 2023, the CGSA moved to collecting revenue from properties overlying the groundwater basin boundary that benefitted from groundwater. The fees were calculated based on the acreage overlying the basin; fees came out to $48.00 an acre for fiscal year 2023 and $68.00 an acre for fiscal year 2024. In fiscal year 2025, the CGSA is implementing fees based on the estimated groundwater extracted by each parcel during fiscal year 2022. This switch from acreage-based fees to estimated pumping fees was made after receiving feedback from the community through public meetings and based on recommendations from the Carpinteria Groundwater Sustainability Planning Advisory Committee (GSPAC). The fees for fiscal year 2025 will be assessed per acre-foot of groundwater estimated during the period between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022. These calculations were based on the crops identified on each property according to aerial imagery from 2022 and the calculated crop application rates for this period. Letters and maps were mailed out to impacted property owners in Fall 2023, outlining the crops identified and the estimated groundwater extraction calculated for the property. Owners were allowed to provide supplemental information to demonstrate whether groundwater extraction estimates or crops were incorrect. This has been a data-gathering exercise for the CGSA in the absence of metered private wells. The per acre-foot charge has not been determined at this time; the CGSA is wrapping up its correspondence with private well owners who reached out requesting amendments. To stay informed of meeting agendas and other CGSA updates, we recommend that you sign

Investing for your future is important — but it can be challenging. How can you navigate the complexities of the financial markets and make the right decisions for your situation? Fortunately, you don’t have to go it alone. A financial advisor can help you in these key areas: • Developing a personal financial strategy – Many factors go into creating a long-term financial strategy. What is your risk tolerance? When would you like to retire? What sort of retirement lifestyle have you envisioned? What are your other important goals? A financial advisor will ask these and other questions in getting to know you, your family situation and your hopes for the future. By taking this type of holistic approach, a financial advisor can help you create financial and investment strategies appropriate for your needs. • Avoiding mistakes – A financial advisor can help you avoid costly investment mistakes. One such mistake is attempting to “time” the market. Investors pursue market timing when they try to “buy low” and “sell high.” In theory, of course, this is a great idea — if you could consistently buy investments — stocks, in particular — when their price is down and then sell them when the price has risen significantly, you’d always make some tidy profits. The main drawback to this technique, though, is that it’s virtually impossible to follow, especially for individual investors. Nobody, not even professional money managers, can really predict with any accuracy when stock prices have reached high or low points. Consequently, those who try to make these guesses could miss out on opportunities. For example, investors who are determined to buy low might not want to purchase investments when the market is up — but this practice could lead to taking a “time out” from investing just when the market is in the midst of a rally. But a financial advisor can steer clients toward a more disciplined approach, such as buying quality investments and holding them

up at: carpgsa.org/public-info/sign-upto-receive-email-updates. As for recent CGSA news, the GSP for the Carpinteria Groundwater Basin was officially adopted at the Jan. 24 CGSA Board meeting and was submitted to DWR for their review. DWR has two years to respond and comment on the GSP. In the meantime, the CGSA will begin our required annual reporting to DWR this year to provide an update with the most recent water quality and water level observations within the basin. We thank the local property owners who have been participating in the groundwater monitoring program, which has been collecting data for over two decades. One of the first major projects for the CGSA is wrapping up at El Carro Park. Three monitoring wells were drilled along the western edge of the park. Staff will now be able to take quarterly ground-

for the long term, regardless of the ups and downs of the market. • Checking progress toward your goals – If you were to invest without any guidance, you might not be looking at your investments’ performance with the proper perspective. For example, some investors simply compare their portfolio returns against a widely used market index, such as the S&P 500. But this comparison may not be that useful. The S&P 500 only measures the stock prices of the leading publicly traded U.S. companies by market capitalization — but your investment portfolio, if properly diversified, will include investments other than U.S. stocks, such as bonds, government securities, international stocks and more. Consequently, the performance of your portfolio won’t track that of the S&P 500 or any other single index, either. Your financial advisor can help you employ more meaningful benchmarks, such as whether your portfolio’s progress is on track toward helping you meet your financial goals. Also, a financial advisor will review your portfolio and investment strategy regularly to determine what changes, if any, need to be made, either in response to the markets or to events in your life. Investing for your future can be exciting and rewarding — and you can feel more confident in your decisions when you have someone helping you along the way.

Alcazar Theatre undertakes ﬁve-year revival plan BY JUN STARKEY

The Alcazar Theatre has undertaken a massive revival in preparation for its 100th anniversary – in June 2028 – which includes incremental construction plans to renew the building and create a stateof-the-art venue for Carpinteria. Members of The Alcazar Theatre’s Board of Directors Mike Lazaro and Andy Patrick, and Alcazar Executive Director Debbie Nomura, told CVN that around the time of the Alcazar’s 95th anniversary, June 2023, the board decided to create a plan to revive the theater. The fiveyear plan allows the theater to continue business and pause for construction in between community events. “Every time we get a few dollars, we do something,” Lazaro – who serves as the board’s president – told CVN. “It’s all done through community funding.” Some of these updates from previous months include the installation of energy-efficient lights on the marquee and inside the theater, as well as high-end digital light and sound boards; the hiring of a new sound engineer; and suspending the speaker system above the stage and installing subwoofers at the base. Lazaro also said the theater is currently working on sourcing new, local snacks and drinks for the concession stand. A major motivation for the revival of the Alcazar, Lazaro said, was improving the performer and attendee experience at the theater. Patrick, Lazaro and Nomura said the Alcazar plans to host larger community events in the future, but the building had to become a more versatile venue to do so. Community events will include collaborations with the Carpinteria Unified School District (CUSD), Nomura said. This would include monthly performances from different schools in CUSD, with attendance open to the general public. The first of these will be a Cate School winter performance on Saturday, Feb. 24, with students from the school’s performing arts department putting on a show for friends, family and community members. Other community events will include screenings of films, television shows, art exhibitions and musical performances. Many of the performances will include Q&As or panels with artists or performers. “We’re trying to blend community

The Alcazar Theatre has undergone several updates for its revival, including the removal of the staircase railings. The speakers are now suspended above the stage, and subwoofers have been placed in the base of the stage, to allow for better sound quality and room on the main stage.

Apology,” a feature-length documentary by Mimi Chakarova, which investigates an incident in the 1960s in the city of Hayward in Alameda County. The city and county dismantled the community

of Russell City – located in present-day Hayward – resulting in 1,400 residents being pushed out of their homes and off their land, so the government could claim 200 acres of land for an industrial park. Future plans for revival construction, Lazaro said, include updating the seats, the green room, the Juliet balconies and the concession stand; potentially creating a dance floor at the back of the theater, to allow for dancing without blocking any views; and acquiring a new, high-end film projector. “We’re trying to create experiences, and not just events, to make them more important and more fun,” Lazaro told CVN.

The key to a happy beat

JOYFUL AGING L E S L I E SO KO L February is American Heart Month, a time to celebrate the most important organ in the human body. When you neglect your heart health, your whole quality of life diminishes. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for more than 25% of all deaths every year. This is an astoundingly high percentage, especially for a disease that can often be managed with simple tools like diet and exercise. Being physically active is one of your most effective tools for strengthening your heart muscles. Exercise also helps

Three exercise components for a healthy heart

Aerobic exercise improves circulation, which results in lower blood pressure and a lower resting heart rate. It also increases blood oxygen levels, which strengthens your heart and lungs and improves your cardiovascular system. Examples of aerobic exercise include hiking, walking, biking, swimming, dancing and jumping rope. Resistance training (or strength work) has a more specific effect on body composition. For people who are carrying a lot of body fat (including a big belly, which is a risk factor for heart disease), resistance training can help reduce fat and create leaner muscle mass. Some different types of strength training exercises include lifting weights, resistance bands, or using your own body weight by doing pushups, pull-ups or sit-ups.

I always say to my students that age is just a number – you can keep your strength up and get stronger no matter what age you are.

Flexibility workouts such as stretching don’t directly impact heart health, but they do benefit your musculoskeletal health. A regular stretching routine helps you to stay ﬂexible and free from joint pain, cramping and other muscular issues, which in turn also helps your aerobic exercise and resistance training. Flexibility workout examples include yoga, Stretchercise, dance and Tai Chi. So how can you strengthen your ticker? Consider eating healthy, getting and staying active, maintaining a healthy weight, doing heart-healthy exercises, managing stress, drinking alcohol in moderation, quitting smoking and staying away from secondhand smoke. You should also cultivate loving relationships, be consistent in your goals and stay within your limits.

An aging heart

Aging causes changes in the heart and blood vessels and may increase your risk

of heart disease. For example, as you get older, your heart can’t beat as fast during physical activity or times of stress as it did when you were younger. However, the number of heart beats per minute (your heart rate) at rest does not change signiﬁcantly with normal aging. I always say to my students that age is just a number – you can keep your strength up and get stronger no matter what age you are. I hope you take these words to heart, and live smart!

Sally Green, right, with her sponsored RYLA student at left, celebrate Galentine’s Day at Dirt Botanicals’ new retail shop, at 3815 Santa Claus Lane, on Friday, Feb. 9. This was the first Galentine’s Day – a play the holiday on Valentine’s Day, focused on friendship – event hosted by Women Making Change, an initiative dedicated to supporting and recognizing Women’s History Month. The event also had a bouquet-making station, handmade crafts, card making and other friendly exchanges, according to Kim Gutierrez of Women Making Change. The full Women Making Change calendar will be available soon online at carpinteriawomansclub.com.

Carpinteria resident Penelope Salinger recently returned from a month-long trip to the North Island of New Zealand, stopping only to take a photo with her copy of CVN while in Paeroa visiting a friend. “Paeroa is famous in New Zealand for the fizzy drink Lemon and Paeroa (L&P) which was originally developed in Paeroa by combining lemon juice with carbonated mineral water from the Paeroa Springs,” she told CVN. “This heritage is celebrated with a giant statue in the center of town of an old-fashioned bottle of L&P.”

The thrill of the Carpinteria Thunderbowl

James and Pearl Slaybaugh started the process of creating a racetrack on their Carpinteria Bluffs property in 1946. A year later in 1947, their dream was a reality. Races were held on Monday nights, and the roar from the track could be heard from the Rincon to Old Town. Midget cars were featured, at first, but shifted to jalopies by 1950. Two deaths related to the midget cars were too probably much for Carpinterians to endure. This early photo during the midget car racing years of the Carpinteria Thunderbowl was taken from the grandstand that was said to hold about 6,000 people. This is, perhaps, the best photo available showing the glory of a race in action, five speeding cars bunched closely together curving around the racetrack.

Coach Jackson Hall Said junior Sawyer Kelly (#2) “played his heart out” in the Warriors playoff loss against Firebaugh.

Warriors’ basketball playoff run ends in second round BY RYAN P. CRUZ | PHOTOS BY ROSANA SWING

Carpinteria High School’s gym was rocking for both of the Warriors boys basketball CIF playoff games last week. Carpinteria used the momentum of the home crowd to pick up a win over Laguna Blanca in the first round on Feb. 7, before suffering a season-ending defeat to the visiting Firebaugh Falcons in the second round on Feb. 9. Carpinteria coach Jackson Hall earned his first playoff win since taking over Warriors basketball last year with a dominant victory over the visiting Laguna Blanca Owls from Santa Barbara in the first round. The Warriors were on fire from behind the three-point line, lighting up the crowd and the scoreboard and taking a 36-10 lead into halftime. Carpinteria kept its lead for the remainder of the game to advance to the second round with a 69-33 win. As was the story for most of the season, Carpinteria was led to victory by its deep roster of juniors, with juniors Sawyer Kelly and Carlo Suarez both scoring 19 points in the win. Kelly was a force on both offense and defense, dropping five shots from behind the three-point line and holding his own on defense against the bigger players from Laguna Blanca. Suarez’s aggressive drives to the rim earned him nine free throw attempts in the game, and on defense he held Laguna Blanca’s top-scoring guard to only one basket in the first half. Junior point guard Aiden Alcaraz scored 14 points with four three-pointers of his own, while junior Sebastian Campuzano-Reed overcame early foul trouble to finish with 13 points. “Seb owned

the paint on both ends of the court and dominated his matchup on the boards,” coach Hall said. “We came out with intensity and discipline, especially on the defensive end of the ball tonight,” he said after the win. “The boys prepared well in film and in practice and executed our game plan nearly to perfection. I am especially proud to be their coach this evening.” In the second round, Carpinteria hosted fourth-seeded Firebaugh of Lynnwood. In this game, however, the Warriors had a tough time keeping up with Firebaugh’s high-powered offense, and the visiting Falcons ended Carpinteria’s season by a score of 70-34. Campuzano-Reed scored 10 points in the loss, while Suarez finished with nine and Kelly scored eight. All three juniors – along with Alcaraz and sophomore Micah Smith – will likely be the heart of the Warriors squad next year. Despite the loss, coach Hall and the Carpinteria boys basketball team made a great improvement from the previous season and were able to host back-to-back playoff games for the first time in years. The Warriors tripled their win total from last year, with 15 wins compared to five in the previous season, and Carpinteria finished with a Citrus Coast League record of 9-3 compared to last year’s league record of 3-9. “In addition to our success on the court, we bonded as a team and became better basketball players and people in our pursuit of a common goal to be the best that we could possibly be,” coach Hall said.

Junior Caden Lemere fires off a shot against the Santiago Sharks.

Carpinteria water polo suffers playoff loss to Santiago Warriors girls water polo had a strong run through the regular season, claiming a share of the Citrus Coast League title and earning a first-round bye in the CIF Division 4 playoffs, setting up the chance to host a home playoff match against the Santiago Sharks in the CIF Quarterfinals at Carpinteria Community Pool on Saturday, Feb. 10. But the top-seeded Sharks proved why they were ranked so high in the division, using a mix of power, finesse and game experience to score on their first four possessions of the match while holding the Warriors scoreless. By the end of the first quarter, Santiago was up 6-0; by halftime, the lead was 9-0. “We definitely had chances to make the score more respectable, but we missed too many open shots,” said Carpinteria coach Jon Otsuki. “Whether on one of many counterattacks or just finding the open player, the Sharks executed like a well-oiled machine. Santiago had no noticeable weaknesses and they rotated subs in without skipping a beat.” In the third quarter, freshman Mina Handall scored what would be the Warriors’ only goal of the game with a seven-meter shot that hit the upper right corner of the net. On defense, goalie Allison Banks collected eight saves while freshman Hazel Dugré grabbed six steals in the game, four of which came in the second quarter alone. With the 14-1 loss, Carpinteria finishes the season at 16-9 overall and co-champion of the Citrus Coast League with a 9-1 league record – something that coach Otsuki was proud of, given the amount of first-year water polo players on the team this year. “We had no idea what kind of team we would have coming into this season, 11 of 19 girls were new to the program,” Otsuki said. “We could not have had the success we had without the help of assistant coach Kurt Souza.”

Carpinteria girls soccer goes down in penalty kicks

The Warriors girls soccer team had a long road trip to Garden Grove to face the La Quinta Aztecs in the first round of the CIF Division 6 Playoffs on Feb. 8. Carpinteria’s offense created some early opportunities from sophomore Evelyn Lara and junior Charlotte Stoops, but none found the back of the net. On defense, Carpinteria’s back line of Mackenna Tobin, Lela Roberts, Emma Miller and Vivian Huskins helped keep La Quinta off the scoreboard. After both teams were locked at 0-0, the game was forced into overtime. In the first overtime, Carpinteria goalkeeper Natalie Gonzalez made a game-saving save by pushing a La Quinta shot over the crossbar. In the second overtime, the Warriors nearly won the game with a shot that ricocheted off the La Quinta crossbar. When the game went to penalty kicks, La Quinta sealed the deal 3-1. “Not bad for an at-large team,” said Carpinteria coach Freddy Martinez. “This was an extraordinary game. Just a week ago we thought our season was over and today we took a seasoned and seeded team to the limit. I could not be more proud of this group of girls.” With the loss, Carpinteria finished the season 8-7-1 overall. The Warriors will return with seven starters and several rotating players on the roster next year.

Warriors girls basketball eliminated in playoff thriller

Carpinteria girls basketball played back-to-back playoff games in the last week, with the Warriors grabbing a decisive 42-28 win on the road over San Gabriel Academy in the first round on Feb. 8 to advance to the second round of the CIF Division 5AA Playoffs. In the second round, the visiting Grand Terrace Titans squeaked out a win in a 39-37 thriller in front of the home crowd at Carpinteria High School’s gym on Feb. 10. In the first round, Carpinteria made the trek to Pasadena to play San Gabriel Academy. The Warriors overcame an early deficit to finish the first quarter with a 15-7 lead. For the remainder of the game, Carpinteria continued to build its lead while holding San Gabriel to fewer than 10 points each quarter, cruising to a 42-28 win. The Warriors’ top three players of senior Amarisse Camargo, sophomore Jamaica Cook and sophomore Charlotte Cooney continued to be a factor in Carpinteria’s success. Camargo finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds, six steals and five assists; Cook contributed with 18 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks; and Cooney finished with five points, five steals and five assists in the win. Two days later the Warriors hosted Grand Terrace in the second round, and the Warriors fell behind early in the first quarter before coming back within two points by the end of the period. In the second quarter, both teams traded baskets and Grand Terrace went into halftime up 25-23. The Titans gained some momentum in the third quarter, taking a 36-29 lead into the fourth quarter, but the Warriors mounted a comeback in the fourth, holding Grand Terrace to three points and bringing the game within one basket, 39-37, with less than five seconds left on the clock. Carpinteria had one more chance on the final possession, but the Warriors were unable to get a shot off before the final buzzer. With the loss, Carpinteria ends the season at 13-9 overall and 8-4 in league play. “We showed tremendous grit, determination, and the willingness to compete at the highest level,” said Carpinteria coach Henry Gonzales. “I’m very proud of our team and how we represented our program, our school and our Carpinteria community. We had a tremendous season and it was a pleasure to coach this team.”

Cate Rams roundup

Cate School had several winter sports teams in the playoffs this year, with boys soccer, girls soccer, boys basketball and girls water polo all seeing CIF postseason action. Cate boys soccer clinched the Tri-Valley league title and earned a spot in the CIF Division 6 Playoffs, hosting the Royal Highlanders at a rain-soaked Peabody Stadium at Santa Barbara High School on Feb. 7. Cate held a 2-1 lead late in the game before Royal scored the equalizing goal with one minute left to send the game into overtime. After neither team was able to score in overtime, the game went to penalty kicks, where Cate’s sophomore goalkeeper Quincy Thorne played the hero by blocking two Royal shots to seal the win, 5-3, and send the Rams into the next round. On Feb. 9, Cate traveled to Irvine to face Northwood in the second round. The Rams gave up an early goal, but sophomore George Marin evened the score at 1-1 with his 14th goal of the year in the 52nd minute. It would be the only goal of the game for Cate, however, and Northwood would take the win, 2-1 with a late goal that ended Cate’s season. Cate boys basketball had a challenge in the first round of the CIF Division 3A playoffs, with a road game in Santa Ana against Calvary Chapel from the Orange Coast League. The Rams gave a tough effort, but Calvary Chapel was too much to handle as Cate’s season came to an end with a 73-44 loss. “I credit these fantastic young men at Cate for playing their toughest and hardest every game,” said Cate coach Andy Gil. “All season we were undersized, but our heart and effort was always there.”

Limited space, awkward conversations and gift card protocols CVN

THE SEAWITCH SAYS AMY OROZCO Dear Amy O, My brother, sister-in-law and their sixyear-old son are coming to visit in April. They live in San Jose, Calif. We live in a one-bedroom apartment and although we would love for them to stay with us, we just don’t have the room. Do you have an idea on how to handle this? Signed, Would If We Could Dear Would If We Could, You handle this as you would any sticky situation – with graciousness and aplomb. These enviable character traits originate from knowing exactly how you feel and firmly deciding a course of action. If it’s truly a space issue, rather than, say, a huge personality clash or festering resentment, then tell them, “We would love for you to stay with us, we just don’t have the room.” Just like you told me. A telephone call or FaceTime is in order. Emailing or texting just won’t do. Lodg-

ing suggestions would get you a check in the graciousness column. Asking for recommendations on nextdoor.com could provide some surprising ideas, such as finding someone in need of a dog sitter the exact dates of their visit. Spread the word among friends and workmates. Are they coming to town to spend time with you, or is it more about a vacay at the beach? If it’s more vacay, how about using them as house-sitters for the next time when you’re out of town? Living in a beachside community does have its downfalls. For some, hosting outof-town visitors is one of them. Nothing wrong that. The important thing is to handle it with graciousness and aplomb. Dear Amy O, It’s taken me a while, but I’m finally comfortable giving gift cards to my nieces and nephews. It seemed so crass. Now my sister is telling me not to put the receipt with the card; that is considered rude. What do you think? Signed, Am I Being Rude? Dear Am I Being Rude?, I think you shouldn’t listen to me when I tell you to give your sister a used gift card without a receipt but make sure to put the gift card in the store’s custom envelope for that authentic feel. I sort of understand sissy’s point of view, though… sounds like she’s equating the receipt to purposefully not

How you end any relationship reflects the value you put on it. Do the right thing – have the conversation. Adhere to the honesty-is-the-best-policy adage and be respectful. Rinse and repeat. removing a price tag. Here’s the thing: the gift card could not have been properly activated, might get lost or be stolen. Yes, put the receipt with the card, and take a photo or make a copy of the receipt for your records. It’s hard enough to keep up with technology much less fathom how criminals use it for ill-gotten gains. When you receive the thank-you notes from your nieces and nephews detailing what they purchased, delete the receipt photo or recycle the paper copy. Dear Amy O, I need to take a break from my hair stylist, or maybe the breakup will be for good. We both live and work in town. I don’t want any awkwardness. Signed, Want to Make the Cut Dear Want to Make the Cut, Yes, breaking up with your hairdresser rates high on the awkward list. Particu-

larly if you’ve developed a more intimate relationship with lots of sharing and confessing while in the chair. Hairdressers are professionals, and an important part of their craft is reading their clients. It’s likely that if you’re feeling the need for a break, your stylist may be too. You need to tell your stylist directly you want a break. Face-to-face is best. A phone conversation is acceptable. Under no circumstances is ghosting allowed. How you end any relationship reflects the value you put on it. Do the right thing – have the conversation. Adhere to the honesty-is-the-best-policy adage and be respectful. Rinse and repeat. Former CVN editor Amy Marie Orozco loves living in Carpinteria, including all the sometime socially sticky situations happening in our seaside setting. Along with giving advice (only when asked), Amy O edits Cannabis by the Sea Magazine. Have a question for her? Email it to news@coastalview.com.
