UCSB grad students protest for union rights Student Researchers United hopes for union recognition By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A group of graduate student researchers marched through UCSB’s mostly empty campus Wednesday, stirring up a sleepy quad. They chanted through cupped fists and megaphones and waved signs: “Union busting is disgusting,” “The votes are in.” More than 12,000 researchers compose Student Researchers United, a unionizing effort formed across University of California campuses with United Auto Workers.

California Highway Patrol officers reroute vehicles at a hard closure of Highway 101 just before the scene of a three-fatality collision near Dos Pueblos Canyon Road in Goleta.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Highway 101 and State Route 154 closed for hours Wednesday, and traffic was rerouted to lesser used roads as crews cleaned debris from morning collisions. The 101 closure followed four traffic fatalities that happened in the middle of the night. COLLISION AT HIGHWAY 101 AND WINCHESTER CANYON A fatal collision occurred at approximately 2:10 a.m. Wednesday along Highway 101 at Winchester Canyon Road in Goleta.

The driver of a 2016 Hyundai Sonata was traveling northbound before colliding into another vehicle in the same lane. The other car fled, while the Hyundai swerved onto the right shoulder and stopped between the lanes. The driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle. California Highway Patrol, the Santa Barbara County Fire Department and American Medical Response responded to the scene. AMR declared the driver deceased on scene. The collision is under investigation by CHP. Anyone with information is urged to contact

CHP’s Santa Barbara office between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at 805967-1234. THREE FATALITIES IN AFIRE COLLISION A second unrelated collision occurred along southbound Highway 101 at approximately 2:25 a.m. Wednesday, resulting in three fatalities. Two vehicles collided along Highway 101 at Dos Pueblos Canyon Road in Goleta. The vehicles caught fire, and three fire engines responded and extinguished the flames. The collision is also under

SEDAN COLLIDES UNDERNEATH COMMERCIAL TRUCK Two vehicles collided in the 2300 block of State Route 154 Wednesday morning at approximately 8:25.

CARP Growers, Coalition for Responsible Cannabis agree to enhanced rules By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Coalition for Responsible Cannabis and CARP Growers reached a landmark agreement this month that will enhance odor control requirements for cannabis cultivators in the Carpinteria Valley. The new agreement, which was forged over the last 11 months, establishes supplemental odor control requirements for all CARP Growers that expand beyond what Santa Barbara County’s current ordinance outlines. Under the agreement, CARP Growers have agreed to utilize the most advanced technology for odor abatement and ensure that odor does not seep into school zones, parks or other public areas. This new enforcement goes a step beyond the county’s enforcement — which only extends to residential zones — and allows the coalition to enforce more advanced odor abatement strategies when odor extends into public spaces. “In partnership with CARP

“From the perspective of someone who lives in Carp, it’s a relief and a subject of great joy to see some people on both sides of the debate getting together and trying to come up with practical solutions instead of remaining embroiled in conflict,” Supervisor Das Williams told the News-Press regarding the agreement.

More than 1,000 Americans remain in Afghanistan NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

As the evacuation effort in Afghanistan continues, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday there are about 1,500 people who may be American citizens and are still in the nation. Tuesday remains the U.S. deadline for withdrawal. During a press conference Wednesday, Mr. Blinken said the State Department had been in contact with about 500 Americans to provide specific directions on how to get to the airport in Kabul safely. “For the remaining roughly 1,000 contacts that we had who may be Americans seeking to leave Afghanistan, we’re aggressively reaching out to them multiple times a day through multiple channels of communication to determine if they still want to leave,” Mr. Blinken said. He noted that some of the 1,000 still in the country may not be American citizens, some may have left Afghanistan and others may have decided to stay. With the deadline to withdraw from the country less than a week away, Mr. Blinken said the U.S. efforts to evacuate Americans and Afghan citizens remains ongoing. Since Aug. 14, the U.S. has evacuated more than 82,300 people, Mr. Blinken said. He added that in the 24-hour period between Tuesday and Wednesday, 19,000 people were evacuated on 90 military and coalition flights. During his remarks, Mr. Blinken told reporters that the U.S. is operating in a very “hostile environment” with a “high possibility” of an ISIS-K attack in the Taliban-controlled country. He explained that while the U.S. remains on track to complete the mission, President Joe Biden has called for contingency plans from the Pentagon and State Department if the evacuation goes past the deadline. He added, however, that if American citizens and civilians in Afghanistan need assistance after the withdrawal, the State Department would still be ready and able to help. “Let me be crystal clear about this. There is no deadline on our work to help any remaining American citizens who decide they want to leave to do so, along with the many Afghans who have

stood by us over these many years and want to leave and have been unable to do so. That effort will continue every day past Aug. 31,” Mr. Blinken said. Last week, a group of bipartisan veterans in the For Country Caucus sent a letter to the White House last week to urge the president to keep the Kabul airport under control for “as long as necessary” to evacuate all American citizens and Afghan partners. The letter was sent in response to President Biden’s steady position that the withdrawal will be completed by the Tuesday deadline, despite thousands of Americans and Afghans who have yet to be evacuated. “This is about more than doing the right thing,” officials wrote in the letter. “This is a national security imperative. The eyes of the world are watching whether we will stand by our friends. We must show the world that we will live up to our values and promises. We are strong as a nation because we have friends and allies. If we don’t stand by those friends and allies right now, we will find ourselves dealing with future threats and challenges alone.” The letter was signed by 25 veterans in Congress, including Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara. In a statement sent to the NewsPress, the congressman said he stands by the president’s decision to end the war by strategically removing troops from Afghanistan, but acknowledges “the pain being experienced by the Afghan people, diplomats, humanitarian workers, and the many veterans who served and sacrificed in Afghanistan.” “There will be ample opportunities to examine the policy choices and considerations that brought us to this moment,” Rep. Carbajal said. “Right now, we must focus on the mission at hand which is to safely evacuate American citizens and the Afghan partners who served bravely alongside us. “To that end, I have urged the president to leave troops on the ground at Hamid Karzai International Airport for as long as is necessary to get Americans and our allies to safety. Just as our Afghan partners stood by us, we must now stand by them.” email: mhirneisen@newspress.com

Lt. Juan Camarena, a candidate for Santa Barbara County sheriff, currently oversees the office’s Criminal Investigation Bureau and SWAT team.

Lt. Juan Camarena announced his candidacy Wednesday for Santa Barbara County sheriff. Lt.

He said that if he were elected, he would bridge the communications gap between the community and law enforcement.

Lt. Camarena, who manages the Sheriff Office’s Criminal Investigation Bureau and SWAT team, also promised to restore trust and transparency. “Law enforcement is changing, and we need to be ready to adapt,” Lt. Camarena said in a statement Wednesday. “I am wholly committed to improving the communities of Santa Barbara County through community partnerships, department modernization and accountability to the public.” He said he would like to bring county citizens and the Sheriff’s Office together to find out how law enforcement can better serve people.

PROTEST

Continued from Page A1 innovation and learning across our campuses. The United Auto Workers recently filed with the Public Employment Relations Board a petition seeking to become the exclusive collectivebargaining representative for UC graduate student researchers, which is the first of several steps in the formal process. “That process is still ongoing. Generally, once a union becomes the certified representative of the employee unit at issue, UC and the union would then commence the collective-bargaining process.” When PERB approved the petition, a 15-day countdown began for UC to respond, but UC later asked for an extension. Now, it has until Sept. 2 to raise objections or bargain. “The UC is delaying any attempt we have at bargaining,” Becky Martin, an electrical and computer engineering researcher, told the News-Press. “In the meantime, we are working on developing a consensus within the graduate student community on what are their priorities when we go to the bargaining table.”

Some members are advocating for benefits like parental leave, but the overall concern of students they talked to is losing funding and becoming bound to an unfair project leader. “Their payment is attached to a primary investigator who might be abusive, who might be pressing them to the limit in the number of hours or points working a week, their expectations might be too high. And these student researchers cannot navigate their way out of those situations,” Becky Martin said. Graduate teaching assistants and tutors are unionized. The researchers have been denied the same ability because of research fellowships, but they don’t believe it is fair. Many of Wednesday’s demonstrators discussed costof-living-adjustment rallies in early March 2020. Before they were involved in the unionizing effort, they still advocated for themselves. Markus Merk, an international student researcher, recalled threats of deportation when international students participated in the COLA rallies. “To prevent things like that from happening again, we need to stand

Sheila Kulkarni, a graduate student researcher in the chemistry department, spoke about isolation. The researcher, who uses the pronouns they/them, didn’t like losing privileges to a shared researcher lounge space, a room offered to first-year researchers who don’t yet have an office. Further, they advocated for unity across all employees. “We have to be in solidarity with contingent faculty, with undergrad workers who are working at the dining commons when we go and get our coffee from the company store, solidarity with our janitors and our maintenance workers and trade workers,” they said in a speech. “All the workers that help make this run. “We are one of them. We are part of the community together. And that means we all have to fight for each other.” As the researchers marched and chanted by a couple of workers who appeared to be janitors, the workers whooped and clapped in apparent solidarity. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Domitila “Tillie” Rose Mendoza, lifelong resident of Santa Barbara, CA passed away on August 13, 2021 at the age of 95. Our much loved matriarch, Tillie, was born on January 2, 1926 in Santa Barbara, CA to Erlinda Luera Lopez and Pedro Lopez. She grew up and attended the local schools, Lincoln Elementary, Santa Barbara Junior High School and Santa Barbara High School. In 1939, Tillie met Elisio “Lee” Hidalgo Mendoza. After three years of courting, Lee and Tiliie were married on November 27, 1942, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Two months after their marriage, Lee was drafted by the U.S. Army. Three months later, during WWll, he was ordered to serve in North Africa. In 1945, he was sent to Italy. They exchanged love letters throughout the war. Lee returned home from WWll in August 1945 and one year later, Lee and Tillie began their family. Together, they raised three sons and a daughter. In 1959, they started Lee’s Plumbing & Heating, a plumbing and heating business at 806 East Haley Street in Santa Barbara. In 1973, it became Lee & Sons Plumbing & Heating, Inc. It still operates today in its original location and has been responsible for training many family members in the trade. Tillie took charge of the administrative duties of the business while raising her family. She sat at her ofﬁce desk and welcomed all who came in with a big smile and a friendly, cheery “hello.” Then, in the next moment, she headed back to her house (located and attached to the “shop”) where she tended to whatever household duties life required. In the mid 1950s, Lee and Tillie purchased a plot of land on Sycamore Canyon Road. During the 1980s, they spent many years building their new home and were very grateful to all family and friends who helped. Lee and Tillie happily partied with friends and family on “The Lot” for many years. The home was ﬁnally completed in 1987 and embodied the years of hard work and love for family. It was a source of pride. Tillie worked alongside her husband in business until his health matters shifted her duties. For the next 10 years, Tillie devoted herself to caring for her husband. She made sure Lee was included in all their activities and adventures. For Tillie, there were no limits for Lee and her. With the help of their dear family and friends, they continued to take their favorite bus trips to Las Vegas. Tillie’s devoted and loving care continued until Lee’s death on May 30, 2009. Together, they had celebrated 66 1/2 years of marriage. As a widow, she continued to live life to its fullest. She cooked an abundance of food for family and friends to enjoy. She graciously entertained all at her home, enjoyed restaurant dining, attended Taco Tuesdays at the Moose Lodge with the Fragosa Family, traveled, and rarely missed a party. Tillie did this all with a big smile and open heart. During these last couple of years, Tillie had a helper and personal driver, Elias Espinoza. He chauffeured her throughout town during the day. The Fragosa Family lovingly chauffeured her for her night activities. Cecilia “Sally” Solomon, her loyal cousin, was there for her, day or night, for everything she needed and to share in the fun. Tillie never slowed down. She kept all who loved her very busy. “We are family” was the theme of her life. She treated her friends as family and opened her heart and home to everyone. “Family” was her top priority. Her love and loyalty was felt and seen with all whom she came into contact. She was not afraid to speak her mind and always got her way because, well, she was “Mom” or “Grandma TiTi.” Family and friends wanted to make her happy because she deserved it. There are very few souls that have the same energy and bright light that she possessed. She was a very special woman with the sweetest smile. She will be greatly missed by her 4 children, Richard Mendoza (Susan), Linda Mendoza Cantu (Ralph), Andrew Mendoza (Jody), and Michael Mendoza (Sonya), her 10 grandchildren, Lee Cantu (Jeanette), Marlies Mendoza Horton (Conan), Matthew Mendoza (Maureen), Shelly Cantu, Linnea Mendoza, Aaron Mendoza (Caysi), John Mendoza (Ashlie), Joseph Mendoza (Rebecca), Nathan Mendoza (Jamie), and Liana Mendoza, her 23 great-grandchildren, her 3 great-great-grandchildren, her cousin and “partner in crime” Cecilia “Sally” Solomon, and many beloved cousins, nieces and nephews. There are numerous family and friends who feel this deep loss and are recognized for how important they were in her life. Tillie was preceded in death by her husband, Lee Mendoza, her parents, Erlinda “Nana” Lopez and Pedro Lopez, and brothers Joseph Wesley and Efraim Lopez. The viewing will be held on Thursday, August 26, 2021 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church located at 1300 East Valley Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93108. The Rosary Service will follow at 6:00 p.m. at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, August 27, 2021 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church at 10:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Calvary Cemetery located at 199 North Hope Avenue, Santa Barbara, CA 93110.

Lorraine was born May 22nd, 1927 in Amherst, WI, to Ed and Hattie Lutz. Growing up on a farm she loved picking fresh blackberries, and recalled the fun times that she had with her sister Evelyn. Living through the Great Depression had instilled in Lorraine the important values of saving for a rainy day, of not wasting anything, keeping a positive mindset, working together well with others, gratitude and always sharing with everyone. Lorraine attended Felt Elementary School, Amherst High School and Browns Business College. She had fond memories of riding the sleigh to school during the snowy winters, drawn by either of their horses Ed or Sam. She recounted a story of her teacher telling her that she was the most determined little girl the teacher had ever met. She worked while attending Browns Business College. This is when she met Roy at church. They married in 1947, and after a short stint in Milwaukee where their oldest son Ken was born, they settled in Park Ridge, WI. Then in 1963, Lorraine had enough, and pulling up their four young children, headed west. (We are all so grateful!!) They landed at the Twilight Hotel on the Mesa for work and lodging. Soon, they bought their ﬁrst house on the Mesa. Lorraine was employed during these years at Santa Barbara City Schools, where she made so many lifelong friends. Their next move was buying Fishers Gas Station, on the corner of Chapala and Carrillo. There they added living quarters upstairs, and this became their forever home. Lorraine’s head for business didn’t stop there, and she began Price Floral in conjunction with her daughter, Sandie Owens, as the head ﬂoral designer. They were in business for many years. Lorraine retired to Maravilla, where she spent happy hours playing bingo with her friends and the penny slots at Chumash. She will forever be in our memories with her beautiful warm smile and a twinkle in her eye, but most importantly her huge loving heart! Lorraine is survived by her sons Ken Price (Kristine), Tom Price (Pam) and John Price (Janna), and grandchildren, Bryan (Elisa), Daren, Nicole, Alex, Jordan and Jason, and great-grandchildren, Josh and Timothy. Lorraine is preceded in death by husband Leroy, daughter Sandra, sister Evelyn, brother Eddie and granddaughter Chauntee Owens. Memorial service to honor her life will be held at 1 P.M., Friday, August 27th, 2021 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 3721 Modoc Rd. A Celebration of Life will follow.

She received her Associates Degree from Stephens College, Columbia, MO. Joan married David W Bohn in 1956 and lived in San Antonio, TX and Pittsburg, PA before moving to Santa Barbara, CA. Joan was a devoted wife and mother. She and David raised 3 children: Deborah Goetz, Jeffrey Bohn and Lorine Vastola. Joan was a gracious, kind, and supportive friend. She always had a kind and encouraging word to say. She spent time volunteering with the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara, Hospice of Santa Barbara, and the Brain Tumor Support Group. Joan and David were longtime, active members of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and enjoyed singing in the choir together. Joan passed peacefully with family at Serenity House.

Trash Mob ‘We show up, do our thing and then we’re gone’

By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

aking their cue from the flash mobs who assemble suddenly in a public place, sing and dance for a brief time and then quickly disperse, this group of local women call themselves the Trash Mob. “We show up, do our thing and then we’re gone,” said Laura Wyatt. And when they leave, the area is no longer littered with cigarette butts, old batteries, food wrappers and other debris that can include bicycle parts, television sets and bean bag chairs. “We average 16 full 13-gallon trash bags a month plus miscellaneous large items that don’t fit in the bags. In our first year, we have averaged close to 200 bags and more than 2,000 pounds of garbage,” said Mrs. Wyatt,

founder of the mob, which meets at 10 a.m. the last Sunday of the month for 90 minutes. “I usually scout out locations and coordinate with the city of Santa Barbara for possible cleanup sites and bag pick up. We frequent safe areas like the Zoo, Bird Refuge, Dwight Murphy field and Milpas near Cacique streets,” Mrs. Wyatt told the News-Press. In the group are a lawyer, artist, property manager, philanthropists, director of outreach and education at the Community Environmental Council, event planner, interior decorator and board president and CEO of the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara. The core group includes Leslie Bhutani, Baret Boisson, Mary Anne Contreras, Michele Cuttler, Lucia Engel, Laura Johnston, Kathi King, Debby Peterson,

Black mission figs This member of the mulberry family has been documented as a food source for more than 11,000 years. These figs were first cultivated in ancient Egypt. One of my favorite seasonal foods, black mission figs are recognized by their deep purple skin and deep red flesh. Incredibly sweet, they are excellent in both raw and cooked preparations. This week I prepared grilled goat cheese figs as the Fix of the Week on B2. Packed with nutrients, black mission figs are an excellent source of dietary fiber and protein. They’re currently available from Avila and Sons Farm, based in Hanford in the San Joaquin Valley, as well as other select growers at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara and Wednesday Solvang farmers’ markets. Price averages $6 per basket with discounts on bulk purchase.

Debby Peterson said she “loves participating with the Trash Mob because every month we get a chance to get together as a group and do something that makes a difference for Santa Barbara.”

Pineapple heirloom tomato This tomato possesses a stunning variegated skin and flesh that reminds me of a sunset. The splash of orange, yellow, red and pink delivers quite the presentation on the plate. Delivering a nice sweet flavor, this low-acid variety is excellent in a salad, including caprese, and produces a uniquely flavored and colored salsa when blended with lime juice, red onion, cilantro, Serrano chilies and salt. These tomatoes are ideal for slicing thick and using to top a sandwich or burger. Grown by a number of local farmers, they can be found at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Tuesday Santa Barbara and Wednesday Solvang farmers market. Certified organic is available. Price averages $4 per pound.

Kneeling (in blue) are Laura Wyatt, Jessica Schaeman and Kathi King. Not pictured is Leslie Bhutani.

All of this trash was picked up in one day by the Trash Mob. Organizer Laura Wyatt said this is a typical haul.

Only available seasonally, this chèvre delivers nice tangy notes, with hints of sundried tomato throughout. I love to crumble some over my scramble egg in the morning, or use it as an addition to avocado toast with spicy radish sprouts. You can crumble this over a mixed green salad or on top of a turkey sandwich. From the Drake Family Farm goat farm to the kitchen, this small batch cheese is a great find at the Saturday Santa Barbara farmers’ market weekly. Price is $6 per 6 ounce container.

The Trash Mob finds batteries, something that needs to be taken care of properly and not just carelessly discarded.

ometime around late May, the first fresh figs appeared at our local farmers’ market. Then after just a couple of weeks of people enjoying this sweet culinary delight, they all but disappeared. This leads to most people wondering why this year’s season was so short-lived. Then, as we rolled into August, the fresh figs began to ramp back up, with nearly a dozen varieties emerging, and they’re much more abundant than in the late spring. This second set of figs is the absolute best, something I’ve been thoroughly enjoying on a regular basis. From the “Brown Turkey” and the “Kodota” to the “Calimyrna” and the stunning “Tiger Striped,” there is no shortage of fresh figs this time of year, all offering their own uniqueness when it comes the flavor and texture. But my favorite variety year in and year out tend to be the richly flavored “Black Mission” figs. This variety tends to be one of the sweetest around. Figs are quite interesting in that they are actually an inverted flower, consisting of nearly 1,500 fruits within the outer skin. This member of the mulberry family is quite delicious when consumed fresh as it comes, but it’s also a nice addition to salads, used to top a homemade pizza with arugula or incorporate into an array of desserts, and in appetizer preparations. This week I prepared some grilled black mission figs stuffed with goat cheese. Topped with crushed pistachio and chopped basil, then finished with a drizzle of aged

2 dozen black mission figs (or any variety you prefer). Firmripe Melted butter 4 ounces crumbled chèvre (goat cheese) 1/2 cup pistachio kernels, crushed into pieces 5 large basil leaves, rolled together and cut into ribbons Aged balsamic vinegar Good quality olive oil Optional, crumbled bacon Preheat grill to high heat. Trim off the figs stem, then cut an X at the top of the fig to create an opening, exposing the flesh of the fig. Brush each top of fig half with a little butter. Once the grill is hot, place the figs exposed flesh side down on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes. Then flip and cook for 2 more minutes. Plate and top with crumbled goat cheese, working it toward the inside of the cavity of the fig. The warm figs will allow the cheese to just slightly melt/ soften. Then top with pistachios and basil, finished with a drizzle of the balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Top with crumbled bacon if desired. Yield: Makes 2 dozen pieces.

Coalition to observe International Overdose Awareness Day SANTA BARBARA — On Tuesday, International Overdose Awareness Day, the Santa Barbara Opioid Safety Coalition invites the community to visit its information table from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Farmer’s Market on State Street. The goals of Overdose Awareness Day are to raise awareness of overdose and reduce the stigma of a drugrelated death, to acknowledge the grief felt by families and friends remembering those who have met with death or permanent injury as a result of drug overdose, and to send a strong message to current and former people who use drugs

that they are valued. The Santa Barbara Opioid Safety Coalition serves all of Santa Barbara County and is a coalition dedicated to saving lives and preventing opioid misuse through expanding education and media outreach, enhancing opioid surveillance, preventing overdose and promoting Naloxone distribution, promoting safe disposal practices, encouraging early intervention and expanding treatment access and recovery.

Diversions horoscope • puzzles

By Dave Green

ARIES — Have you been thinking about adopting a pet? Even if you haven’t, a lovely little dog or cat could come into your life now and show signs of wanting to stay with you, Aries. Don’t let mundane considerations get in your way. An animal could bring a lot of joy into your life now. Your health should continue to thrive, though your energy might come and go in spurts.

Some of them may be involved in professions that interest you. Some may become your friends and others might prove to be valuable business contacts. New opportunities could come your way as a result. Whatever invitations come your way, don’t turn them down. You might miss something wonderful.

Thought for Today

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

CANNABIS

Continued from Page A1

Board Member Rob Salomon said in a statement. “All CARP Growers members will comply with that program, and unlike today, odor will not be tolerated in schools, parks and public areas. We credit CARP Growers and its member farms for coming to the table with sincere dedication and a shared interest to make local cannabis farming better.” The agreement also requires that as odor abatement technology advances, CARP Growers upgrade to the “very best control technology that’s available,” coalition attorney Marc Chytilo told the News-Press. For growers in Carpinteria, that could mean a switch to carbon scrubber technology that is under development in Europe. The new technology is designed to mitigate odors in venting greenhouses. The carbon scrubbers would be an upgrade to the vapor phase technology that many cannabis cultivators currently use to neutralize odors in other parts of the county. The vapor phase works by omitting fragrance to neutralize the smell of cannabis. While the county’s current cannabis ordinance designates vapor neutralization measures as a Best Available Control Technique for mitigating odors, the Coalition for Responsible Cannabis and CARP Growers will require more

advanced technology for odor abatement on the South Coast. Under the county’s ordinance, projects that require a conditional use permit in Agricultural II zones require the use of some kind of odor abatement plan using BACT. Mr. Chytilo said once the scrubber equipment is manufactured and sent to Carpintiera, the CARP Growers will begin testing the odor abatement technology to ensure it works in large scale greenhouses. “We’re expecting by the end of this year we should have comprehensive testing that demonstrates this is the technology that’s going to work,” Mr. Chytilo said. With this new agreement applying only to CARP Growers members, enforcement of the terms of the contract will be handled through a four-tiered response process created by the coalition. Each level of the response increases intensity depending on the severity of the odor episode. According to the terms of the agreement, if odor problems cannot be resolved by existing technology, “growers must install improved technology and odor control actions until the problem is solved.” With several cannabis appeals going before the Board of Supervisors this year, officials are hopeful the new agreement could stand as an example for other

cannabis growers in the county for resolving odor disputes and working alongside community members. Supervisor Das Williams, who resides in Carpinteria, told the News-Press that the new technology for odor abatement has “great potential” to set an example for other cannabis growers moving forward, though there remains work to be done. “Most people I have spoken to are pleased that significant progress has already been made on odor, but most also want it to continue to improve,” Mr. Williams told the News-Press. “That is why the county has supported this effort with staff time, and I hope that continued cooperation between the farmers and neighbors can make sure we concentrate on practical solutions instead of being stuck in conflict.” The new agreement and the promise of odor enforcement also comes as a relief to many residents of Carpinteria who have voiced complaints over the smell of harvested cannabis in recent years. “From the perspective of someone who lives in Carp, it’s a relief and a subject of great joy to see some people on both sides of the debate getting together and trying to come up with practical solutions instead of remaining embroiled in conflict,” Mr. Williams said. email: mhirneisen@newspress.com
