Coffee Bean GM goes one better

Karl Metzger, General Manager of the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf store at the corner of Linden and Carpinteria Avenues, wants to ensure that Carpinteria Schools get something out of the school-supporting promotion the company is current holding at each of its stores. Between April 17 and June 11, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf will donate $1 from every purchase of its Bright Future Blend coffee bags or tea canisters to the Santa Barbara School District, and Metzger will match that donation by giving $100 for every 100 bags of Bright Future Blend sold in his store to schools in Carpinteria Unified School District. “People can write a message to their students’ teachers on the side of the bag or tea can,” Metzger noted as a gift idea for national Teacher Appreciation Day on Tuesday, May 9. Additionally, on Tuesday, May 2, Coffee Bean will offer teachers with a faculty ID a small “specialty beverage” for $1 in recognition of Teacher Appreciation Day this year.

Fifteen people opted to celebrate Earth Day with a beach clean-up coordinated by Carpinteria State Beach. Combing the sand between Linden Avenue and Jellybowl Beach produced one large bag of recyclables and one large bag of trash, along with two beach chairs and a tent cover. Participants sifted the sand for “nurdles,” plastic pellets that serve as the basic building blocks of plastic products. Clean-up organizer Leanne Roth said, “They are supposedly on every beach in the world, but after sifting sand, we did not find any.”

State of Community offers Carpinteria insight

by lea boyd

Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce held its annual State of the Community luncheon on April 21 and left attendees with plenty to ponder about Carpinteria’s past, present and future.

Rincon Beach Club hosted the event, which highlighted the impacts of Caltrans’ Linden-Casitas overpass Project, the scarcity of real estate in Carpinteria Valley and the economy’s relatively rosy state.

Caltrans gives a taste of what’s to come

over the next four years, Caltrans will completely alter the flow of traffic through Carpinteria with its Linden-Casitas overpass Project, the key elements of which are wider overpasses and the extension of Via Real from Carpinteria Creek to Linden Avenue.

Santa Barbara County Association of Governments recently decided that before the Linden-Casitas completion, Caltrans will launch the final phase of its four-part highway widening project, increasing the number of lanes through Carpinteria from two to three in each direction. The overlap aims to increase efficiency and stretch funding, “so we’re not building things temporarily and then ripping them out,” Caltrans representative Kirstin Ayars told the State of the Community crowd.

Plans for the Linden Avenue overpass include three lanes, two for traffic heading toward the mountains, and one toward the ocean. Both sides of the bridge will have sidewalks and bike lanes, unlike its current configuration with a narrow sidewalk on just one side. “If you’ve ever walked on that sidewalk and encountered a stroller or, heaven forbid, two people walking side by side, you have to hop off into the street,” noted Ayars.

At Casitas Pass Road, the overpass is narrower than the street on either side.

The new bridge will match the width of the streets with a total of five lanes—one of which will serve as a landscaped center median until increased traffic necessitates its use as a lane. Both sides of that bridge

will also have sidewalks and bike lanes.

Three bridges will be constructed over Carpinteria Creek for the project. one of these will connect existing portions of Via Real, while the other two will replace the highway bridges. The new structures will be wide enough to accommodate three highway lanes in each direction and sit 10-feet higher in order to allow for 100-year-storm flooding.

A new bicycle and pedestrian path will be constructed beneath the Carpinteria Creek bridges. The existing path crosses the creek bed and closes periodically due to rain; the new route will be all season.

Ayars noted that the current path will need to close for several months while the bridges are being built, but a free shuttle will be provided so that residents of Rancho Granada and San Roque mobile home parks have access to downtown Carpinteria.

Highway 101 northbound on- and offramps will be shifted east to an intersection between Casitas Pass Road and Carpinteria Creek. The northbound onramp at Linden Avenue will also be lengthened to allow for safer access onto the highway.

That onramp will be incorporated into a roundabout fed by ogan Road, Via Real and Linden Avenue.

Ayars emphasized that outreach is a critical component of the long and multifaceted project. Updated construction information is available at sbroads.com.

Water district anticipates no rate hike

Carpinteria residents received good news for their wallets during the State of the Community. Carpinteria Valley Water District General Manager Bob McDonald told the crowd, “It appears that we won’t be raising water rates this year.”

He also addressed the question on everyone’s mind: Is the drought over yet? Though Carpinteria has received about 135 percent of its average rainfall, it came on the heels of the driest period on record. Between 2012 and 2016, just half the normal rain fell on Carpinteria Valley.

Most of the state, particularly northern California, has rebounded from the drought, but two of Carpinteria’s three

BoyD

water supplies remain highly taxed. State water is now available, but groundwater will take multiple wet years to recover, and Lake Cachuma remains at just 50 percent capacity. As such, McDonald said, the Stage 2 drought will remain in effect.

Carpinterians are still asked to practice water conservation.

A recycled water project now under consideration could ease to the valley’s water woes. A feasibility study released last year concluded that that up to 1,100 acre feet of water could be reclaimed annually, which would meet about 25 percent of Carpinteria’s water demands.

McDonald described the study’s findings as a “compelling reason” to consider the project more fully.

Boardwalk extension coming soon to State Beach

Carpinteria State Beach has a few projects up its sleeve for the coming years, Channel Coast District Superintendent Danita Rodriguez told the State of the Community crowd. The second phase of the boardwalk along the dunes between Linden and Palm avenues is currently under construction and expected to be complete in the fall. New interpretive signs are going up, and aging restrooms should be replaced in the next few years.

The campground, Rodriguez said, is the top revenue generator in the State Parks System. “As you know, it’s really hard to get a reservation. you feel like you’ve won the lottery if you do.”

City looks good now, worries about later

Mayor Fred Shaw told the State of the Community crowd that though the city is now on strong financial footing, the toll of aging infrastructure could be problematic in the future. He noted that the city has been adding about $500,000 annually to the street repair fund but will need to increase that amount to $1 million or more to keep local roads in good shape.

Contestants celebrate after spending 60 minutes concocting creative foods.

A culinary education CUSD cook-off pleases palates

By Lea Boyd

Representing Canalino School, from left, Vicki Walton, Kathleen Tomscha and Julia Wheatley plate their grilled pork loin topped with tomato mango sauce. Judges loved the team’s side dish of thinly sliced, roasted potatoes.

Carpinteria Unified School District’s staff members revealed their inner chefs last week in a cook-off worthy of cable television. Gathering in the Carpinteria High School culinary arts kitchen on the evening of April 20, six teams representing different schools and departments transformed a collection of necessary ingredients into taste bud-tantalizing meals in just 60 minutes. Judges awarded top honors to the district office team of Mari Hornback, Maria Fisk, Laurel Schwartz, Maureen Fitzgerald and Lise Maine.

Each team was required to integrate pork loin, mango, yogurt, potato, canned tomatoes and peppermint candies into their dishes.

Additional ingredients were on hand. Judges Jessica Clark, owner of Peebee & Jay’s and Corktree Cellars; Nirasha Rodriguez, owner and chef at The Food Liaison; and Lea Boyd, managing editor of Coastal View News, awarded points for use of ingredients, appearance, flavor and overall opinion of the dishes.

Teams produced exquisitely flavored foods that were beautifully presented. No two were alike, with the pork prepared in all manners, from grilled to poached, and served alongside creative side dishes, such as potato latkes and mango cabbage salad. The winning team wowed judges with mini pork loin potpies baked in ramekins topped with puff pastry. The event was organized by CHS Principal Gerardo Cornejo and culinary arts teacher Mary Keane-Gruner. Peebee & Jay’s Big winners, from left, Mari Hornback, Maria Fisk, Laurel Schwartz, Maureen Fitzgerald and Lise Maine and The Food Liaison donated gift cards to tantalized the tastebuds of judges with their pork loin pot pie and mango strawberry parfait. the winners.

New gas tax to bring Carpinteria $300K annually

BY LEA BOYD

The city budget will enjoy an annual $300,000 boost for the next decade thanks to a state gas tax increase. The new revenue stream will be phased in over time, starting with an anticipated $80,000 next year, reported the city’s Administrative Services Director John Thornberry at the April 25 city council meeting.

Debt service wraps up this year on the city’s $2 million loan to build the Community Pool, purchase a portion of El Carro Park and improve City Hall 20 years ago. Next year’s expenses will be $180,000 less as a result.

Rising costs will also affect the 20172018 budget. Health care premiums will go up, along with the price of local park and roadway maintenance. Thornberry said that the city’s support for library services will increase next year, and negotiations are underway for a new contract with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department. “I think you can safely expect an increase in the cost of that contract,” he said.

The city expects to close the current fiscal year without any major changes to the budget.

Ash Avenue construction set to begin

Ash Avenue improvements that have been in discussion for decades now are getting underway. The council approved a $563,000 bid for the project from Toro Enterprises at its April 25 meeting.

Gaps in the sidewalk on the east side of Ash between Sandyland and 3rd Street will be filled in, and a walkway, parking area and new drainage system will be constructed in the block between 3rd and 4th streets.

Silver Sands Mobile Home Park will fund $185,000 of the project, while the city’s $378,000 portion will be covered by Measure D funds.

Downtown landscaping to be overhauled

City planters along Carpinteria and Linden avenues and within downtown parking lots will soon be re-landscaped for the first time since the 1990s. Venco Western was awarded a $34,000 contract this week to install $23,000 worth of native and drought tolerant shrubs, succulents and ground cover.

“The planting palette for Carpinteria Avenue will consist of vibrant tones of yellow and purple amongst a backdrop of purple,” Public Works Assistant Brian Barrett told the city council. “In keeping with the beach and ocean views on Linden Avenue, Linden’s color scheme will be blues with pops of red.”

Beach neighborhood starts inn petition

Beach neighborhood resident Judy Mulford told the city council at its April 25 meeting that she has started a petition against an inn and restaurant being

considered for development on Linden Avenue at the Amtrak station. The city held a special meeting last week to take the public’s temperature on the project, and most residents who turned out voiced concerns for how the hotel would impact the small town. “I told you how I felt last week, and I’m getting wiser and stronger … and I’m so opposed to this,” said Mulford.

Plaza honored as city partner

The city council honored Plaza Playhouse Theater with its spring 2017 Outstanding Business Partner Award during the Monday night meeting. Run by an all-volunteer board, the nonprofit theater provides a venue for movie screening and live theatrical productions and concerts.

The Plaza celebrates its 89th birthday this weekend with a screening of “Casablanca.” Mayor Fred Shaw told Plaza representatives, “I really appreciate all the efforts you’ve all put into it.”

Mary Ann Minger 10/15/1923 – 3/23/2017

Mary Ann Minger, 93, our beloved, beautiful, intelligent Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother, peacefully left this world on March 23, 2017 after a short stay at Cliff View Terrace in Santa Barbara. She handled the challenges of age related health issues with courage and grace. Mom was born in Seattle, Wash. on Oct. 15, 1923 and grew up in Ojai and Santa Barbara after her father, Ray Felton, accepted the position of managing editor of the Santa Barbara News-Press, relocating with his wife Laura and second children.

Mom loved recounting her youth in Santa Barbara, with memories of horseback riding through Hope Ranch, swimming at East Beach and fishing with her little brother Billy off of Stearns’ Wharf. She graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1941 with a natural talent for creative writing and theatre. After high

school her adventurous nature took her from Santa Barbara to live with her sister in upstate New York, eventually moving to New York City working as a fashion illustrator’s model and working at Grand Central Station. Despite her love for New York, Mom joined the Marines where she was deployed to San Francisco and served in World War II. She was honorably discharged as a Corporal in 1945.

Mom married Sgt. William C. Minger III in 1945 at Lemoore Field in California.

The couple settled in Santa Paula, Calif., raising four children. She co-partnered a successful pre-school for several years before going to work for many years as the administrative assistant to the General Manager of the Ventura County Sunkist Citrus Exchange. Her love of work kept her busy until she retired at the age of 82 as an assistant for the Daily Ranches of Camarillo. In 2012 she moved to Carpinteria, coming full circle by returning to her beloved Santa Barbara. Mom, a voracious reader, was passionate about literature, the arts and the Dodgers. Even though she regretted not achieving a college degree, her articulate use of the English language and interest in politics and current affairs was an education for all of us. Mom had an uncanny, incredible connection with children; it was very special to see. Children, and indeed all who met her would gravitate to her kind, warm, loving personality.

Mom is survived by her son Geoff Minger and partner Michael Davis of Carpinteria, Calif.; daughters, Diane Retter (husband Dave) of Kennewick, Wash., and Sue Sheridan (husband John) of Beaumont, Calif.; six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Her passing was preceded by that of her husband William C. Minger III in 1994 and her oldest son William C. Minger IV in 2002.

Mom’s ashes will be scattered into the blue Pacific from the Double Dolphin on the morning of Saturday, May 13, 2017. A celebration of her life will take place the same day at 2 p.m. at the Geoff Minger residence in Carpinteria. Mom was everybody’s Mom or Grandma. Her beautiful loving spirit touched so many lives; it sparkles like the sea. We love her so much and she will be in our hearts forever.

A celebration of Mary Ann Minger’s life will be held on Saturday, May 13 at 2 p.m. at the residence of Geoff Minger, Carpinteria.

Richard Wayne Russell 1/18/1927 – 4/7/2017

Richard Wayne Russell, age 90, died in Carpinteria, Calif. on Friday, April 7, 2017. Born Jan. 18, 1927 in Gravette, Ark. to Sam and Nora Russell, he joined the United States Army Medical Corps in 1952 and was a part of the Korean Police Action until he was honorably discharged in 1954. Richard worked in welding for Bemco until retiring in 1983.

Richard was a member of the First Baptist Church in Carpinteria and enjoyed spending his free time woodworking.

Survivors include his wife of 67 years, Helen F. Russell, of Gravette, Arkansas, sister Beth Thompson of San Pablo, Calif., sister Mary Francis Bénedict of Hayes, Kan. and numerous nieces and nephews from California, Colorado, Arkansas and Kansas. A funeral service held by Pastor Joe Epley was held on Thursday, April 13, 2017 at 1 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Carpinteria, located at 5026 Foothill Road in Carpinteria. Memorial contributions are welcome at First Baptist Church of Carpinteria.

Ernest Levy 6/10/1929 – 4/18/2017

Ernest Levy, born June 10, 1929, passed away in his sleep on April 18, 2017, just eight weeks shy of his 88th birthday. He is survived by his loving wife, Kay. Ernie was the proud father of four children, Cynde, Steve, Derek and Alex, with first wife Laura Geller, as well as stepfather to Kay’s three children, Rick, Jeff and Gina.

His legacy includes 10 grandchildren and one great-grandson.

One of three sons born in Brooklyn, Ernie moved to Los Angeles in 1943 with his father, Louis, his mother, Anna, and his younger brother, Marv, while his eldest brother, Howard, served overseas during World War II. After graduating from Roosevelt High School, Ernie completed his degree in Pharmacy at USC in 1952.

Shortly after, Ernie was called to serve in the U.S. Army during the Korean conflict.

His duties included working as a military policeman in the 59th Military Police Company and later, as a pharmacist in the 123rd Medical Detachment. He married Laura Geller in 1955 and began his family and career in Glendale, Calif. In 1972, Ernie moved to Carpinteria, where he owned and operated Mills Pharmacy with his brother Marv until its closing in 1992, when it was folded into Vons Supermarket. He continued working for Vons as a pharmacy manager until his retirement 10 years ago. Ernie participated in many community events and acted as “Post Surgeon” for Carpinteria’s VFW Post 5656 for more than a decade. In addition to his love of music, art and photography, Ernie was a talented stained glass artist. He created 142 scenic and abstract panes of glass from his home garage in Ojai and took great pleasure in presenting them as gifts to family and friends.

These pieces of art will forever serve as a reminder of the joy that he brought to our lives. He was deeply loved and will be missed by all who knew him.

A private ceremony took place on April 23, 2017.

Can that inn

I think it’s a slippery slope when a city favors the tourist dollar over its own citizens’ concerns. Carpinteria is in the black, has a low crime and unemployment rate and a great small town feel. I hope this isn’t the start of turning our city into a Disney-esque tourist trap by building a new hotel in the public parking area by Linden Field. Do we really need a hotel on lower Linden in the heart of an already busy and crowded residential area, taking up the only close public parking lot?

How many nearby residents will directly benefit, versus those adversely affected by this hotel? I hope our city council members will consider quality of life over quantity of extra tourist dollars and ask themselves: Do we really need this hotel on Linden? Isn’t there enough traffic and successful businesses down by the beach?

Juanita Leman Carpinteria

Joni said it best

Suggesting that a 30- to 40-room boutique hotel would only need four parking spots is unrealistic. Hotel manager, assistant manager, concierge, maids, maintenance person; add to that a restaurant manager, assistant manager, wait staff and busboys; add retail space with manager and clerks, and you’re realistically looking at a large number of necessary parking. Some 47 years ago, Joni Mitchell said it best: They paved paradise/And put up a parking lot/With a pink hotel, a boutique/And a swinging hot spot/ Don’t it always seem to go/That you don’t know what you’ve got/’Till it’s gone/They paved paradise/And put up a parking lot! An asphalt parking lot is not an appropriate use of land currently zoned for open space and recreation.

Carpinteria can do better.

Kirk Connally Carpinteria

Boutique inn equals win-win

A small, elegant hotel (just 30 rooms) next to the railroad station will define our beach area and downtown. It will be a destination in itself, a quiet, peaceful place where one might stay for a couple of days. Visitors arriving by train could walk to it, settle in and then go over to the nearby beach or head to the shops and restaurants on Linden. Bicycles (and the shuttle) will be available for those who want to explore farther.

These visitors could mean the difference between success and failure for many of our shops and restaurants. In the last few years, several businesses have closed or are suffering from lack of sales.

Letters

Leland Walmsley Carpinteria

“When I talk about the needs of English learners, students in poverty, parents working day and night to get by, I speak with firsthand knowledge”

Don’t mess with the U.S.

I was walking through a hotel lobby recently and the TV was tuned to one of the far-left cable news channels. The crawler at the bottom of the screen said, “North Korea warns that nuclear war could break out at any moment.” All I could do is smile and be thankful that there is a new sheriff in town. After eight years of Obama pandering to weak dictators and apologizing for America’s greatness, we finally have a president who will send a clear message of strength to the world.

Kim Jong-un is a despot and a thug, but he is not stupid. Even though he does not yet have the capability of delivering a nuclear weapon to the U.S., he knows that any such attack upon other nations in his region would result in the complete annihilation of his country. Donald Trump has sent a strong message to the world that the United States will defend its allies, and will stand up to those who would do us harm.

For the past eight years, our military has been severely hampered in doing its job because of Obama’s insane rules of engagement. Sadly, American lives were lost because too often our soldiers had their hands tied behind their backs.

When somebody fires a Howitzer, you should not be limited to the use of a BB gun in response. You should also not be required to wait hours for permission from Washington to defend yourself.

Under Obama, our once proud military was neither feared or respected.

Nobody despises war more than a member of the military. The best way to prevent war is to be so strong that an adversary would be a fool to challenge you. Thankfully, we now have a president who believes that.

––Jaclyn Phuong Fabre

We need tourists. Here’s an opportunity to have them in manageable doses yearround. Our city faces increased costs annually. Our infrastructure—roads, sidewalks, trees, etc.—steadily wear down and out. The tax revenue from the hotel would be a new source of income for the city. We welcome it.

Another bark for a dog park

This is to suggest that we have a small dog park near the community garden and train station. I was recently in New York’s Washington Square where a small piece of the park is set aside as a dog park. Not only is it great for dogs, it’s also a wonderful opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to meet and chat, share their canine interests as well as those of the world. A very small parcel could go a long way toward facilitating human and canine understanding.

The power of words

The Coastal View News article from April 20 (“School board talks racial disparity”) claiming that I said Summerland School would not adequately support a more diverse student population does not reflect my words. I was addressing barriers preventing some students from accessing schools like Summerland or CFS. Diversity is not interchangeable with low-income, English learners, or other identifiers used to classify students.

I’m a parent at Summerland; I’m not white. I often add a bit of color to any situation I’m in. I celebrate diversity, along with our Summerland School community. Integrated Asian Americans are

sometimes considered honorary white folks. Some privileges go with that perception. Thus, what I say may be interpreted as a hidden agenda to support the privileged—white or otherwise. Let me be clear, I proudly, boldly self-identify as a woman of color, an immigrant, a Vietnamese refugee. Forty years ago, my family of five came to the U.S. from a refugee camp, all our possessions in one suitcase. Within a week, I was enrolled in fourth grade so that my parents could look for work. I went to school, unable to communicate with anyone. That scared, wordless little girl is still within me.

When I talk about the needs of English learners, students in poverty, parents working day and night to get by, I speak with firsthand knowledge. Race is an integral part of U.S. society and should be addressed. But please, be mindful of the words you use. They can hurt. They can be divisive.

ICE, not so nice

In response to Carolyn Edward’s letter published in Coastal View News on April 20, there are many non-criminals being held by ICE. For example, Daniela Vargas is a 22-year-old woman who was brought from Argentina to the U.S. at age 7. Her family had a temporary visa that they overstayed. She aspires to be a math teacher, has no criminal record and has applied to preserve her legal status under the DACA program. Currently she is in

On April 3 at approximately 11:30 a.m. deputies observed a tent set up under a tree near the intersection of Ash Avenue and Sandyland Road near the beach. Approaching the tent to investigate possible illegal camping, the deputies encountered a man walking up the beach back to his tent. The man said he would pack up his tent and leave. He had a bicycle with a trailer next to the tent. He also told the deputies that he had stayed at the State Park Campground the night before, but he had run out of money and camped near the beach that night. The man said he did not have ID on him, but that it was in his wallet in the tent. When he retrieved the wallet however, he did not have an ID there, either. The man then gave deputies his name and date of birth and a records check revealed that he had an outstanding warrant. The deputies arrested the man, and transported him and the bike and trailer to the Santa Barbara County Jail.

ing on 7th Street, another group emerged from the bar fighting. The deputy called for assistance and units from the CHP, Goleta and Isla Vista responded.

A man was being punched and kicked on the ground by a group of five or six men, and the deputy called out “Stop!”

The men then fled down the alley on Yucca Lane behind a pizza place. A woman on the scene helped the deputy by staying with the man on the ground as the deputy broke up the other group of fighters, who all fled north up the alley.

The deputy called an ambulance service to check on the man who had been being beaten.

When the second group broke up, the man on the ground stood and began yelling at them, challenging them to fight.

The deputy asked the man to stop yelling, and medical personnel checked on his injuries. He was released at the scene and would not speak to the deputy, nor did he want to press charges. People at the restaurant said the fight was provoked by a group of unknown males who were not from the city of Carpinteria.

The wolf roams Franklin

cVn

Franklin Tales

OrDinary peOple climbing TO new heighTs

Debbie murphy Lobo Guerrero is a stone worker who moved to Carpinteria from Santa Barbara specifically because of the Franklin Trail.

He was born in Guerrero, Mexico and works in Montecito and Santa Barbara as a stonemason. He shared that Lobo (the Spanish word for wolf) Guerrero is a spiritual name he has given himself and that his given name is Francisco Alemán.

Though Lobo is busy several nights a week taking English classes, I interviewed him in Spanish. I have included some of his phrases and words so you can better hear his voice in the interview.

Is it true that you moved here because of the Franklin Trail?

A year ago, I broke my hand and could no longer go to the gym to work out.

Going to the gym was something I did every day. I was looking for some form of exercise I could do with a cast on my hand that would allow me to stay in good condition, I discovered the trail and have been climbing the mountain now for a year. So I hike up the mountain every day before work at 4:30 or 5 a.m. on weekdays and slightly later on weekends. When you go up the mountain at this time in the morning, it is a very spiritual experience.

It is really quiet, I can concentrate better and the hike fills by body with positive energy.

By the time the sun rises, Lobo Guerrero is already high on Franklin Trail.

Do you hike alone?

I usually go will my friends Olivia Quintero and sometimes Oliva Nava.

They go with me because they feel safe with me. Once we heard and saw a bear, and it really surprised them. It was really early in the morning, and as we approached the flat area before Frank’s Bench we could hear the bear growling and see it in the distance. I thought it was making noise because of a cub. I told my friends to relax, that the bear wouldn’t bother them if we didn’t bother the bear.

It was growling possibly to warn us that she had a cub. The bear seemed quite upset. She was loud. I told my friends that we couldn’t continue. We gave the bear her space and went back down the mountain.

Have you seen other creatures that early in the morning?

We have seen many gatitos, mapaches y taquaches (bobcats, raccoons, possums).

Once I saw a little zorrillo (skunk) with my headlamp. It was really beautiful. I

always wear a headlamp as there are may stumps and stones in the trail and I don’t want to trip. It just makes it safer.

We have also seen two types of snakes, el topo y el cascabel (gopher snakes and rattlesnakes). I have seen huge legartos (lizards) about a foot long. There are always telarañas (spider webs) early in the morning. I lead and hike with my forearm raised so that I can break all the spider webs as we pass through them. When I look at my arm with my headlamp it is covered with spider webs.

The animals don’t really seem to be frightened by us. They are just doing their jobs early in the morning.

What do you take on the trail?

I drink sabila. It is a drink that I make the night before with aloe and water. I peel a small piece of aloe and just drop the pulp in a gallon of water. It processes all night and this is what I drink. I don’t eat before I go, because for me, I function better with just this water. After I hike, I will eat a salad or breakfast before I go to work.

You hike every day. Does it get boring?

I have a routine. Some days I run. Some days I hike. I change my routine every day. I try not to repeat because the body can better improve by doing something different. I get to use different muscles by changing my routine.

I had tried many trails, yet the Franklin Trail is the best. Some days I go Frank’s Bench. Others days I hike to the gate, and other days beyond the gate. This weekend

we hiked to the fourth bench.

I don’t let my body get used to any particular routine. I haven’t gone to the top of the third phase, and when I have enough time I will do this. There are days when I hike two or three hours. The higher I get the calmer I get. I go to work every day. I get home from the trail and have a half hour to make my lunch and get ready for work.

There is a lot of pressure at work. I get there at 7 every morning and do stone work all day No one is coming down the trail when I am going up. Sometimes we see someone on their way up the trail when we are going down the mountain. Usually we are the first ones up. One can concentrate more early in the morning. A veces me siente como una águila y me siente libre. (At times I feel like an eagle and I feel free.)

It is really a beautiful experience. On weekends, I go a little later so I can sleep more. I wake up and go. During the week I use an alarm but not on the weekends.

You mentioned that the hike was spiritual for you. Tell me more.

Since the first time I walked the trail, I have felt that way. For me the trail is always a spiritual journey. It is the best.

In the morning, even if it is cold, if you concentrate on what you are doing, you get warm and everything is just in your mind. Since I was little in Guerrero, Mexico, I have always had a spiritual life. My grandmother was from Sonora and my grandfather from Guerrero. Their lives filled me with a spiritual nature. I was the only one in my family who took up this spiritual life. It is part of my alma (soul) since I was little.

I do the hike because it has me feeling really good spiritually. I’m in contact with nature. I wish more young people would turn to hiking instead of other things that they might turn to. It is sad to see young people who turn to drugs or alcohol. When one maintains a sport, it changes one’s life. This is why I post so many photos on the Franklin Trail Blazers Facebook page.

New art comes to the Llama

After living in San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Chicago, local artist Rio Richards has returned to Carpinteria where she grew up and will be showing her painting at the Lucky Llama Coffeehouse, 5100 Carpinteria Ave., during the month of May. Characterized by a unique sense of light, Richards’ work at the Llama focuses on local landscapes and ocean themes using a variety of media she’s both well versed in and entirely new to.

“Mother Nature is untouchable,” she said, “but it’s the feeling or essence of that light and water and sky that I want.”

Landscape oils on display at Zookers

“Personalized Alcove” by Rio Richards

Local artist Sharon Schock started a daily painting project in 2009, in which she completes a small painting every day. Working with an alla prima technique, Schock paints “wet-onwet” in a single setting starting with a detailed pencil sketch, followed by a thin oil wash, and finally working from dark to light to complete the painting. With a BA in Fine Art from Westmont College, Schock finds inspiration in “tall palm trees contrasted against the sky, seaside cliffs, adorable bright buildings and quaint little towns.” Her work will “Spring Flowers on the Bluffs” by be on display until June 11 at Zook- Sharon Schock ers restaurant, 5404 Carpinteria Ave.

Artists’ studios open to the public

Visitors can get a behind-the-scenes look at the creative spaces local, professional-level artists use for their work during the annual Artists Studio Tour on Mother’s Day weekend, May 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A tour map and brochure for this free event are available online at carpinteriaartscenter.org.

Tasteful fundraising Summerland School’s Chomp a delicious success Photos by Robin KaRlsson

Summerland School retooled its annual fundraiser this year and delivered an event heavy on merriment and munching. Chomp Carp! featured samples from local restaurants, breweries and wineries. Kids activities galore made the fundraiser fun for all members of the family. “We at Summerland School are excited to promote the local food, wine and brew vendors and to expose the crowd to the fab sounds of our own Soul Pepper. We also wanted to encourage Carpinteria families to get to know us if they are looking for an alternative to the larger K-5 schools in our shared district.

Chomp Carp! was a terrific event we look forward to repeating for years to come,” said Elizabeth Perlin, Vice-President of Parents for Summerland.

GARDEN GOSSIP CHRIS & LISA CULLEN Spring is here and that makes me very happy. In fact, as I sit down to write this column, it is raining! Well, at least it was a few hours ago. April showers––how lovely and how unexpected. There’s nothing like a touch of rain to make a garden shine. Like a dab of lipstick, a little rain gives everything just a bit more sparkle.

I consider myself very fortunate indeed to be in the business of creating beautiful gardens, because it is what I love. I do it for myself, and so of course I want to share that joy with others. To me, gardens are for living, for celebrating, for walking, running and playing. They are for you to expand into, to embrace and make memories. Gardens are for parties, teatime, weddings, croquet, barbecues and family gatherings. Seems like everything is better in a garden.

Gardens are life

If I ever feel a bit down, need a break or just need a pick-me-up, I go out into my garden. Oh, I may plant some seeds, play around with my orchids, prepare a new patch of ground, weed, prune or just walk about. My garden gives me a boost.

It revives me.

Luckily for me, working in the garden of a client creates the same impact. It happened today, when I visited a prop-

Gardens are for living

erty where we are putting in landscape lighting. The roses were in bloom, the “meadow” was filling in, there were tadpoles in the pond and a bird sitting on a nest in an antique lantern. Life was everywhere.

Nearly every afternoon, we spend a bit of time in our garden, out by the fountain with a cup of tea, enjoying the colors, the greenery, scents and sounds. There are bees flying in and out of the “bee tree,” hummingbirds visit the fountain, flitting here and there, seeking nectar from birds of paradise and bottlebrush. Gardens, no matter the location or style, are positively bursting with life—organisms of all descriptions going about the business of living. I find this simple action of taking in the beauty of the garden to be relaxing and revitalizing.

Gardens are for everyone

In this modern age of machines, texts, cell phones and the internet, we can become disconnected from nature. If you can, get outside every day. Leave your cell phone in the house, head out into your garden and take in the wonder. Observe what is happening and perhaps even go out and work the earth, deadhead flowers, pull off spent leaves, plant a vegetable patch or a few pots of herbs. Take in the fragrance of the earth, the colors of the sky, the sounds of birds and bees working along side with you.

If you don’t have a plot of your own, no worries, our community is full of beautiful gardens, flower and vegetable farms. Splurge on the beauty that surrounds us. It’s easy to do when you live in Carpinteria. You may be surprised what you learn about life by just slowing down to take a look.

Lisa Cullen stops to smell the roses at Rose Story Farm.

Until next time, fill your garden with joy, and you!

Chris and Lisa Cullen, owners of Montecito Landscape, have been creating beautiful gardens for over 40 years. Listen to Garden Gossip radio show on AM1290 every Friday

at 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. and Saturday at 11 a.m. Do you have a question about your garden? Contact us at 969-3984 or lisacullen@ montecitolandscape.com. Or via snail mail: 1187 Coast Village Rd. Ste. 160, Montecito, CA 93108

Rose Story Farm opens for public tours

When speaking about beautiful gardens, Rose Story Farm is on the top of the compost heap (in a manner of speaking). After the rains we had this winter, Rose Story Farm ought to be spectacular. The local farm opens for public tours on Wednesday, April 26. The tours are by reservation only and include lunch in the garden and the opportunity to ask questions about how to grow beautiful roses at home. There is also a retail nursery where you can buy any of the heirloom roses grown on the farm. They will even come plant them for you, if you like.

The nursery is open Monday through Thursday and Saturday by appointment only, or as part of the tour. Book a tour on their website, rosestoryfarm.com, or by calling the farm directly at (805) 566-4885.

Chickpea and fingerling potato soup

chef Randy Randy GRaham Chickpeas, commonly called garbanzo beans, have long been valued for their fiber content and are one of the world’s healthiest foods. If you like chickpeas, this vegan recipe is for you.

It’s a hearty vegan stew that takes advantage of canned chickpeas and quickcooking fingerling potatoes to make prep fast and easy. The addition of unsweetened coconut milk and the subtle heat of North African harissa spices make it tasty.

Cate lacrosse has exceeded all expectations this season, going undefeated to win the league title.

Cate lacrosse takes league title

BY ALONZO OROZCO

For the past two years, the Cate School girls lacrosse team has been making its mark across the southland. After finishing 12-2 last year, the Rams have achieved even greater success this year, going 13-0 to clinch the Channel League Title.

“They went and played Newbury Park down in Simi Valley, that was a chance to show the L.A. area where they really are,” said Renee Mack who returned as coach this year after taking a year’s sabbatical last season while coach Amy Venditta stepped in. The Rams built a 10-point lead against Newbury Park and cruised the rest of the way to a 21-12 victory. “They felt so good, they were so excited to show their game,” explained Mack who has coached at the school for 18 of the lacross program’s 25 years.

Rams currently sit at number 10 in the CIF Southern Section Rankings according to high school sports website Maxpreps.

The team’s success has been developed on the Cate Mesa, where many of the students live while they attend the boarding school. “Of our 12 starting

(players), we have eight girls who have learned to play lacrosse at Cate,” said Mack of this year’s squad.

Eleven team members graduated last year, but the athletes that remained raised the bar. The Rams are led by junior Brie Walker, sophomore Maddie Erikson, along with senior captain Katherine Grossman, all of whom have played together for two years.

Cate is also anchored by a strong defense, benefitting from the experience of three seniors: Summer Christenson, Eva Herman and Morgan Prinz. Fellow classmate Grossman also helps mind the back line from her midfield position. But the final line of defense has been put onto the basket of freshman Liza Borghesani who starts at goalie. “She’s had a remarkable start … she’s stepped into the net this year, never played … and is off and running. She’s super smart,” said Mack of the young phenom from Rhode Island whose mother works at the school.

Freshman Piper Brooks from the Bay Area and sophomore Daphne McKeefry of Connecticut have also made an impact, providing the Rams with a great deal of depth on the roster.

Junior Brie Walker sprints toward the goal.

Senior captain Katherine Grossman maintains control of the ball while scanning for defenders.

This year’s group also seems to enjoy playing the game. “This is a team that feeds off each other’s positive energy, and that feeds into wanting to work harder, be better, go further,” explained the veteran coach.

A few of the players have also taken the role of ambassadors for the sport locally. Recently, Erikson, Grossman, Herman and McKeefry started a Club

Lacrosse at Canalino School, introducing a group of young students to the game.

And, in turn, these youths came up to the Mesa to view one of Cate’s matches during the season.

The possibility of a CIF championship is certainly on the minds of this year’s team. “We think about it (a championship), but we don’t talk about it. We look at one game at a time,” said Mack.

U12 girls are Apricot Jam champs

Carpinteria united returned from the April 22 and 23 Apricot Jam tournament in Moorpark with the Championship Title. The team played its first two games on Saturday starting with a 3-0 win against Simi Valley and a win against Beverly Hills 4-1. On Sunday, Carpinteria united led its pool by claiming a 5-1 victory against Newbury Park sending them to the final round as the number one-seeded team. The much-anticipated championship against Visalia was an intense battle that ended with a 3-1 win.

“This talented group of girls had an incredible weekend with 15 goals scored and only three goals allowed. From the goalkeeping and defense, through the midfield and attack, they relentlessly pressed for their opportunity to lift the trophy. To witness the determination of these young athletes, to see their development as a team come alive and to have the well-deserved success is something to be very proud of,” commented coaches Marc Medina and Richard Pakes.

PREP NEWS: Continued from page 19 Baseball

April 19 – The Carpinteria High School baseball team visited Grace Brethren and suffered a 7-1 loss to the Fourth ranked baseball team in Division IV of the CIFSS. “Sal Delgado and Toby Spach made up the Warrior battery, which competed well but ultimately succumbed to the pressure of the Lancer attack,” said Warrior coach Pat Cooney. Carpinteria received two hits each from Chase Mayer and Jose Carrillo as each went two-for-four at the plate. “The Warrior offense faced Lancer ace Pierson Ohl and scratched out seven hits and a late inning run,” explained Cooney.

April 21 – The Carpinteria High School baseball team fell again to Grace Brethren, this time with a 9-3 loss at John Calderwood Field. Grace Brethren scored two runs off Warriors starter Chase Mayer in the first, then took advantage of consecutive defensive miscues to tally three more in the second, and capped their scoring with four earned runs in the third. Carpinteria scored single runs in the second, third and fifth. “The bad news is that our starter had a below average day and our defense let us down in situations that it has usually proven steady,” explained Warriors coach Pat Cooney. “The good news is that the team kept playing together and that the players that had shaky starts to the game, finished well.” Carpinteria is 10-7 overall and 3-5 in the Tri-Valley League. Grace Brethren is 15-4 overall and 7-1 in league.

Swimming

April 19 – The Carpinteria swim team beat Fillmore with the boys outscoring the Flashes 107 to 41 and the girls besting their counterparts 99 to 49.

Persoon did hit the automatic time in 100-yard breast stroke with a time of 1:14.95. In the girls 200 medley relay, freshman Sydney Endow, Persoon, sophomore Jessica Cruz and freshman Sadie Mead swam a 2:12.40, also a CIF consideration time. The Warriors are undefeated in league with a 4-0 record.

Softball

April 24 – The Carpinteria High School softball team shut out the Wildcats, 16-0, in a league contest. The Warriors were led at the plate by Mikayla Blair and Tori Kelley with three hits each. “The battery of (pitcher) Amanda Blair and (catcher) Samantha Saenz were excellent giving up only one hit in the five-inning game,” said Carpinteria coach Henry Gonzalez. The win leave the Warriors 14-6 overall and 4-2 in league.

After finishing last in their pool for Saturday’s games with a 1-0 loss against Lancaster and a 1-1 tie against Simi Valley, the girls rebounded for a win on Sunday. During their first game on Sunday morning, they moved up to second place in their pool with a 3-0 defeat of Santa Monica. The hosts of the tournament defeated Carpinteria’s U10 girls in overtime 2-1 in the final game. “Despite the loss, the girls played hard, had fun and finished fourth overall,” said U10 coach Brett Labistour.

The first four innings saw a pitcher’s duel between Amanda Blair of Carpinteria and Ranger Sarah Wimpee, with Blair giving up three hits and Wimpee giving up two. Nordhoff broke the 0-0 game in the fifth on two doubles and a sacrifice to score two runs. The Warriors then came up in the bottom half and scored seven runs. Mackenzie Kephart, Joshlyn Richardson and Isabel Studt all singled to load the bases with Kephart scoring on a passed ball. Mikayla Blair would later double home Kayana Diaz. A double by Raquel Cordero scored another run, and Samantha Saenz, Tori Kelley, Amanda Blair and Rebecca Bray all played a part in the inning that would clinch the victory.

No wheat is shipped. the soil of Carpinteria produces good wheat, but it is of more worth for the valuable fruits such as walnuts, oranges, lemons and limas.

Next generation leadership and club expansion were the themes of the Rotary Club of Carpinteria Sunset’s meeting on April 19 on Padaro Lane. Junior Carpinterian of the Year Maria Zamora was the featured speaker. She talked about her role in Interact—the high school branch of Rotary—and her experience in the first cohort of Girls Inc.’s Eureka! program. Zamora announced that she will attend the University of San Francisco in the fall. Four new members also were inducted into the young club: Winfred Van Wingerden of Maximum Nursery, Lynn Cederquist of Cederquist Winery, Marissa Roberts of Bartlett & Herrington and Sheila Batson, a nurse at Cottage Hospital. The growing group will add five more members at its next meeting.

The Playa Del Sur 4-H Steer and Lamb Show Teams have spent months preparing for this week’s Santa Barbara Fair and Expo at Earl Warren Showgrounds. The youth have been feeding, caring for and training their animals for the competition. In the week leading up to the fair, members washed, clipped and sheared their steers and lambs to make them look their best. The Carpinteria group has raised five steers and eight lambs that will be exhibited at the fair all week and shown in the livestock show ring on Friday, April 28 at 4 p.m. Club member Erika Estrada stated in a press release, “The young livestock showmen invite the community to come watch them exhibit their livestock projects.”

Morning Rotary learns how to build a dream house

Morning Rotarians went off-site to hold last week’s vocational breakfast meeting on Dorrance Way, where contractor and club member Erik Olson spent the last two years building his dream house. Olson worked with realtor Roxanne Nomura and award-winning green architect Scott Ellinwood to purchase the property and plan the core features. Ellinwood designed the windows to utilize natural daytime light and incorporated rooftop remote-controlled ventilation skylights and other features to achieve maximum energy efficiency. Olson then added countless craftsman details including bead board, marble counters, custom showers, cedar ceilings and other elegant touches. He told the group how rewarding it is, after many years of doing contracting work for others, to include his favorite features and finishes in the Dorrance project. The dream house will go on the market soon.

Dozens of community members and local youth, including Girls of Carpinteria members, participated in a unique yoga session on April 4 at the Santa Barbara Courthouse Sunken Gardens led by peace activist Erica Ford and the Urban Yogis, a NYC-based group whose efforts are focused on conflict resolution and violence reduction among youth. The event, hosted by Girls Inc. Carpinteria, was created to encourage youth to choose alternative pathways toward positivity and peace and to inspire peace and unity in the community.

Ford and the Urban Yogis lead an all-ages yoga program for at-risk youth in New York public schools, detention centers and at the Baisley Housing Project in Jamaica, Queens, as a means to inspire youth to choose alternative pathways toward positivity and peace. Ford’s achievements were recognized at Girls Inc. of Carpinteria’s “Women of Inspiration” luncheon on April 3, where she was the keynote speaker.

In honor of the special event, Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider proclaimed April 4, 2017 as Santa Barbara’s Day of Inner Peace and presented Girls Inc. Carpinteria, Erica Ford and the Urban Yogis the proclamation before the yoga session kicked off.

Dune evening primrose, purple sand verbena and desert sunflowers sunbathe in Anza Borrego Desert State Park.

cVn

Coastal View News • Carpinteria, California

A mountainous backdrop clings to evening sunrays while the desert floor falls into shadow.

Full bloom fever

unpredictable wilderness chuck graham I’ve seen traffic cops working intersections before.

There are lots of moving parts. This, however, was ridiculous. It was all in the name of flora exploding across a dormant desert floor.

The desert wildflowers that brightened Anza Borrego Desert State Park and peaked in the middle of March were the real deal—a true showstopper in California’s largest state park located within the Colorado Desert. It’s also the second largest state park in the Lower 48. It not only encompasses the desert floor but also oasis-filled canyons, stunning badlands and daunting mountains 6,000 feet high.

The funny thing about all that congestion was that

A greater roadrunner cocks its tail feathers before dashing off along the desert floor.

it was mostly centered near the Visitor’s Center where the traffic cops somehow managed the throng of cars at the intersection of the S22 and the main drag of Borrego Springs. There weren’t nearly the number of cars around the outlying areas of the park where the best show of wildflowers were.

Traffic was also plentiful in and out of Coyote Canyon, where people were driving way too fast to enjoy the “super bloom.” The broad, dry arroyo was something to behold. Fortunately, most of the hordes were moving through in the middle of the day when the desert sun was way overhead and the desert was cooking in the lower 90s. It was also the worst time for photography.

This year I drove out to Anza Borrego twice, the second time with my wife Lori. The mornings were the most pleasant, long before the sun peeked above the mountaintops. We were grateful for the cool air and so were the flowers. We discovered most wildflower seekers like to sleep in. Pity. In fact, most folks would drive up, stay on the periphery of a carpet, have a gander and then leave.

The vast profusion of stunning color this year in Coyote Canyon was one of the best blooms in at least a decade. 2010 was really good and so was 2005, but 2017 probably topped them both. My favorite desert floral displays were those that encompassed several species of flower clustered together, finally breathing life into the desert after years of drought.

I usually found three species clustered together at a time and my favorite was definitely purple sand verbena smothering a lone desert lily. Every other desert lily I’ve seen in the past stood on alone. Another favorite was the tall desert sunflower towering over low-growing sand verbena and either brown-eyed or dune evening primrose. Other abundant clusters were bushels of desert dandelion and chickory with Arizona lupine standing over them.

While waiting out the hottest hours of the day I was fortunate enough to see a couple of greater roadrunners crossing in front of me. It helped pass the time away to watch them forage for lizards and snakes before doing what they do best—running across the road.

The desert sunflowers in the broad valley on Henderson Canyon Road were the best I’ve ever seen. The yellowish orange blooms stretched as far as the eye could see to the base of the mountains. Mixed in beneath those tall blooms were sand verbena and dune evening primrose.

Some of my other favorite blooms were those that grew out of cracked mud in the now dry arroyos, a nice contrast to the gravelly desert floor.

The best experiences were those where we left my truck in the late afternoon and wandered off into the desert, just looking for the best blooms with the best backgrounds while waiting for optimal light. Time kind of slows down, the temperature drops and a cool breeze blows down canyon. The colors of the desert eventually soften, signifying another epic day in Anza Borrego.
