Carpinteria fire chief retiring

Chief Robert Kovach of the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District is retiring on Jan. 23 after 40 years in the fire service and 15 in Carpinteria. Kovach began his career with the Lompoc City Fire Department on May 26, 1 7 , as a part-time reserve firefighter. He went on to serve as fire engineer, fire captain and battalion chief before leaving Lompoc City Fire in 2011 and joining the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District. He was promoted to fire chief on Oct. 1, 2023. In a press release sent out in late December, the chief said it has been an honor to serve. He said he made it his mission to “leave this profession healthy and grounded in meaning and purpose.” “This career has built a bond and sense KARLSSON 2023 FILE PHOTO of camaraderie with the men and women Chief Robert ovach of the fire service that will be truly missed. What began as a profession became a second family — one that has left a lasting mark on my life and soul with pride,” he said. “It has been an honor to serve alongside such dedicated professionals within a premier agency that consistently strives for excellence while embracing an innovative vision for the future. (...) My message to those continuing this work is simple: put family first, go confidently in the direction of your dreams, and passionately live the life you have imagined.” Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District Board Vice President Doug Qualls said the Carpinteria and Summerland communities and the general fire service have “greatly benefited” from the chief’s years of service.

First responders put out a structure fire on cean aks Avenue in the Carpinteria Valley on Christmas Eve. Units with the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District, Montecito Fire, Santa Barbara City Fire, Ventura County Fire and the Santa Barbara County Sheri ’s ce responded to the area around :30 p.m. and found smoke and fire coming from the side of the building. “Crews made a rapid o ensive attack and knocked down the fire within 20 minutes. Firefighters remained on scene to conduct overhaul and assist with the investigation,” Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District representatives said on social media. No injuries were reported. The cause is under investigation.

A New Year’s resolution for the good of the community CVN

THE LAY OF THE LAND M I K E WO N D O LOW S K I Shortly before Christmas, I heard one of the various songs that wishes it could be Christmas every day. The longing is not really for lots of gifts to open or for fancy cookies, but for the season of caring about others and being generous not only to loved ones but to others in our community. Sure, the commercialism, over-thetop decorations and seasonal sweaters are best limited to only part of the year. But why should the more important idea of focusing on others also be limited? In this column last month (CVN Vol. 32, No. 12, Dec. 4, 2025, “Gratitude instead of ‘stu ’”) I noted that our community provides endless possibilities for ways to hold onto our sense of gratitude throughout the entire holiday season. We can be thankful for where we live and for the people who make up this community and even help spread that gratitude further in our community. But why limit ourselves to the holiday season hy can’t we take it even further? As the calendar ips to January, many make a ew ear ’s resolution about something they want to change or accomplish. What if we each make a resolution to take a specific action or develop a habit that focuses on the good of others and our community in general ouldn’t that be a little like making it Christmas every day? Imagine the impact if many of us made such a resolution and stuck to it. There are already amazing examples of people acting this way every day. We get a small sample in Coastal View News’

Carpinteria Beautiful volunteers celebrate a successful day of trash cleanup. “Halos” section each week. Really the question is where do we start? How do we pick something for our resolution? It is a big, but very fun question to consider: “What can I do to help my community ” There are endless possibilities But it would be nice if we knew what the community wanted. Fortunately, we have the answer to that question. The draft update of the Carpinteria General Plan states that the goal of the community is: “…to preserve the essential character of our small beach town, its culturally diverse residential neighborhoods, its unique visual and natural resources, and its open, rural surroundings while enhancing recreational, cultural, economic, and housing opportunities for our community.”

The Carpinteria Valley Water District is excited to reintroduce the H2KNOW Newsletter for 2026! Stay informed about your water supply, discover water conservation tips, enjoy interactive features, and meet the dedicated team working behind the scenes to deliver safe, reliable water to our community. Scan the QR code below to read the January issue!

If we are looking for a way to help our community, doing something that supports the community’s goal would be a great direction to go. It is a nice side benefit that since we are each part of our community, we benefit along with everyone else when the community thrives. Maybe you like doing things that have an immediate impact. ell, litter doesn’t pick itself up or magically blow o the ground into trash cans. Have you heard of Carpinteria Beautiful (carpinteriabeautiful.org) r if you really want to get your hands dirty, you might help with removing non-native plants and planting natives to create a healthier habitat for our wildlife. Check out the Carpinteria Salt Marsh ature Park Rehabilitation Day coming up this Saturday, Jan. 3 (tinyurl. com pull-weeds), or the Pollinator Habitat Project (pollinatorhabitatproject.org). These organizations and plenty of similar ones o er one-time and ongoing volunteer opportunities, and as non-profits they survive on donations. You could pull out both your gloves and your checkbook and help in multiple ways. Another rewarding way to protect Carpinteria’s natural resources as a volunteer is with Seal Watch (carpinteriasealwatch.org) whose volunteers are watching over our local harbor seal colony during the pupping season from now until May 31. r if your inclination is to engage in e orts that focus further down the road and maybe don’t re uire uite as much physical e ort, there are other options. ne simple start is to sign up for the Carpinteria Valley Association email list (tinyurl.com carp-news) to receive updates on important local planning issues where public input is needed. You might also sign up for the City of Carpinteria’s e-newsletter, The Current (tinyurl.com/ carpcurrent), for updates on the latest happenings at Carpinteria City Hall. H

But to really help with the goal of the community, once you have information about current issues, it is imperative to take action. That action might be a simple Letter to the Editor in the Coastal View News or an email to the Carpinteria City Council about an upcoming agenda item. r it might involve a good amount of study and discussion with others who are deeply involved in an issue to develop a coordinated action plan. There are a multitude of other local organizations that work toward the different parts of our stated community goal, and they are all sources of information and deserving recipients of our volunteer time, donations, and general enthusiastic support. A few that have had significant roles in Carpinteria are Citizens for the Carpinteria Blu s (carpinteriablu s.org), Environmental Defense Center (environmentaldefensecenter.org), Santa Barbara Channel Keeper (sbck.org), Community nvironmental Council (cecsb.org), The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County (sblandtrust.org), and People’s Self-Help Housing (pshhc.org). Let’s each make a ew ear’s resolution to choose one specific action that supports the goal of our community and see where it takes us. Maybe we can make it a bit like Christmas every day. Mike Wondolowski is president of the Carpinteria Valley Association (facebook. com/carpinteriavalleyassociation), a local organization dedicated to maintaining the small beach town nature of our community. In over 35 years of involvement in planning issues, he has witnessed visionary successes, as well as decisions that were later widely regretted. When not stuck indoors, he can often be found enjoying Carpinteria’s treasures including kayaking and snorkeling along the coast, running or hiking on the bluffs or the Franklin Trail, or “vacationing” as a tent camper at the State Beach.

2025 bird count “one of the best” in history, organizers say Editor’s Note: Photos of the prothonotary warbler, the Grace’s warbler, and the male Allen’s hummingbird — the hummingbird not in a nest — were taken in the days leading up to Dec. 20. All other photos were taken on Dec. 20. The Carpinteria Christmas Bird Count — held on Saturday, Dec. 20 — was “one of the best” in the Carpinteria Bird Watchers’ 17-year history, with preliminary results showing 160 species counted, organizers told Coastal View News. Sixty bird watchers joined in, counting birds across a 15-mile diameter circle. Most of the volunteers covered city parks, beaches, and parking lots, organizer John Callender said. Others narrowed in on a parking lot outside Roxanne’s A Wish and A Dream, where a prothonotary warbler had been catching birdwatcher’s eyes for weeks. Others took photos at Jameson Lake or o the R V Channelkeeper o the coast. Additional recap details available online at carpbirdwatchers.org. — Evelyn Spence

CAR • PET • ERIA Meet Luna the gentle soul

Meet Luna, a three-year-old blue Pitbull Terrier with a wiggly butt and a heart as soft as her coat. Santa Barbara County Animal Services (SBCAS) volunteers said Luna, who is looking for her forever home, is potty trained, walks nicely on leash, enjoys strolling and loves cuddling on the couch. “She’s done wonderfully in foster breaks, showing just how calm, a ectionate, and easy she is in a home. But back in the shelter, Luna’s heart has started to fade — she misses being part of a family. Luna bonds deeply and loves fiercely. If you’ve been looking for that one dog who’ll melt into your side and never stop believing in you, come meet Luna. She’s ready to make your home — and your heart — complete,” volunteers said. Interested in fostering or adopting Luna? She’s at the SBCAS shelter in Goleta at 5473 Overpass Road. The shelter is open Tuesday–Sunday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Learn more by emailing sbcassouthfostercoordinator@gmail.com.

Year in Review 2025: The year of community BY CVN STAFF

2025 was the year of the protest. Carpinterians marched in solidarity with the People’s March on Jan. 18; for higher teacher and Carpinteria Unified School District (C SD) wages on Feb. 7 and May ; against President Donald J. Trump and his administration on Feb. 17 and June 14; in honor of International Women’s Day on March 8; and beyond. In an incident that thrust the beach town into the national spotlight, Carpinterians also clashed with federal agents on July 10 and marched to the sea on July 12, after

January

Immigration and Customs nforcement (IC ) and federal agents raided a state-legal cannabis farm on Casitas Pass Road and detained 10 undocumented farmworkers. In the hours that followed, hundreds spilled out of city hall, unified in their support for the community’s immigrants. 2025 was the year that Carpinterians made their voices heard — at protests, in Coastal View News’ Letters section, and at city meetings. In 2025, the power of community and connection was made clear. Happy holidays, all. May your 2026 be kind. — Coastal View News Managing Editor Evelyn Spence

Sharing the facts

— In mid-January, firefighter Cammi Schafer, at front right, and Schafer’s fellow firefighters help unload supplies collected by the Carpinteria Scouts Troop 50 intended for victims of the Pasadena and Altadena fires in Los Angeles. Several other local groups, including the Carpinteria Valley Baptist Church and Pacific Health Foods, to name a few, also prepared and loaded donations for the fire victims.

Carpinteria’s Susan Mailheau, at right, kicked o another round of her Seal Talk Series at Carp Kitchen on Jan. 25, inviting community members to learn about the Carpinteria harbor seals and the seal rookery. Mailheau said her talks aim to enhance the public’s enjoyment of the seals. “The talk covered one of the interesting adaptations of harbor seals — a lesser-known adaptation that allows for pups to be born in the spring together in spite of the fact that their gestation is shorter than the 12 months between pupping seasons,” Mailheau told CVN. New topics are presented at Carp Kitchen on the first Tuesday of each month and repeated on the last Saturday. For more information on the talks, reach out to Mailheau at susan.mailheau@gmail.com.

A photographer s dream

Photographer Glenn Dubock captured the rocket launch passing in front of the moon just before dawn on Jan. 24. He shared: “This was the most visually spectacular launch I have ever seen. The pre-dawn air on Wednesday, Jan. 24 was a photographer’s dream — cold, clear and not a breath of a breeze. I knew the moon would be hanging low in the southern sky and be directly in the path of the rocket when viewed from Tarpits Beach. Just after 6 a.m., with the first light of dawn peaking over the mountains, all my calculations and a healthy dose of luck helped get the image I was hoping for.”

Halos & Pitchforks

A reader sends a halo to the employee at the Laughing Buddha who gave the reader’s son a heart plushy after hearing him tell the reader, “I want to get this heart plushy because I love you.” “He and I both found the comment very sweet. You made my son’s day!”

A reader sends a pitchfork to people who enter the harbor seal sanctuary and instead walk, jog, even do push-ups where the seals want to rest. “Problem one: the seals cannot return to rest, to digest their food, to regulate their body temperature, when people are in their exact spot! Problem two: visitors don’t see any seals!”

A reader sends a halo to Kathy, who “walks the trails picking up other people’s dog poop because they’re too lazy to take care of their dog. Thank you Kathy for taking care of this special place.”

A reader sends a pitchfork to people who ride their bikes on the Linden Avenue sidewalks. “Where is Code Enforcement? This is so dangerous for pedestrians coming out of businesses almost getting run over every day!”

A reader sends a halo to Nathan and an anonymous helper for helping the reader get upright after a surprise landing on the railroad tracks. “The kindness of strangers is alive and well in Carp!”

A reader sends a halo to the local kids — Eloise Grewe, Alissa Neuron, Sophie Blank, opp l i er o oh to l e o oh to — who held a bake sale in the aftermath of the immigration raids, raising $1,000 for the families impacted. “And halos to the community members that donated funds and baked goods!”

A reader sends a halo to all the CUSD teachers who have truly worked so hard to finish out this year with smiles and laughter. “Thank you so much for all you do and please know this — it does not go unnoticed in our community.” This reader sends a halo to Vice Mayor Mónica Solórzano for her bravery and for standing up for what she believes in. “Abstaining from the pledge of allegiance at the City Council meeting to show where she stands regarding federal immigration actions is to be admired.” A reader sends a halo to Jarrett and Heidi Johnson for opening up their home to a student that was in need of a place to live for the past two years, and to the student, for not only graduating from Carpinteria High School, but being accepted to enroll at Arizona State University. “Congrats to all three for a job well done!” A reader sends a pitchfork to modern Carpinteria. “You aren’t what you used to be. All of the best establishments are gone — Fosters Freeze, Rincon Designs, and Robatille’s, just to name a few. Keep Carp, Carp.”

A reader sends a halo to the wonderful people of Carpinteria who “have come together over the last few weeks to support our local immigrant community. I love this town!” A reader sends a halo to the young people who show up to protests, take selfies, and post in solidarity online. “Ignore the selfie haters, attitudes like that are part of why our demonstrations skew silver. Most of us are grateful for your presence, your energy, and your ability to amplify the cause. Smile, snap, post, repeat — you’re doing it right.” A reader sends a halo to his “honey bunny” for the best 52 years of his life. “The number 28 has been special for us, and this July was no exception.” A reader sends a pitchfork to litterbugs everywhere, but especially people who use places of nature for their own enjoyment and then defile them with trash. “ here is the respect for the natural world? I followed (and picked up) a trail of candy wrappers at the blu s, and each one made it harder to fathom the utter lack of conscience it would take to leave them there.”

Rincon Locals: Brent Flaaten

THURSDAY

BY VINCE BURNS

One of Rincon’s most dedicated fans, Brent Flaaten, has morphed from an avid surfer who lived a stone’s throw from behind Rincon Point (to be as close as possible to the action) into a well-known surf photographer to a prolific cataloguer of surf history. Along the journey, Flaaten has remained a Rincon lover of the first degree, never venturing far from our favorite right-hand point break. Flaaten (b. 1967) grew up cutting grass and tending orchards for his dad in Camarillo, eventually graduating to lead groundskeeper at the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum in charge of its legendarily gorgeous grounds. Flaaten’s first surfs were in and around Ventura, and it wasn’t too long before he caught the eye of professionals. Fletcher Chouinard of the Patagonia family asked Flaaten to ride for Point Blanks boards. (Today, the brand goes by Fletcher Chouinard Designs.) He reveled in the pro surfing life, competing and working on board designs with Patagonia during 1995-2003. The fun ended with a series of serious injuries which eventually led to a hip replacement. Flaaten’s last surf came in 2015. Realizing he still loved the beach and surfing, Flaaten looked for ways to stay in the game. He eventually swapped his

One of his first subjects was Vela Mattive, then a precocious grom who now surfs in the World Surf League. (Mattive took both the Women’s and U17 categories at last February’s Rincon Classic.) Flaaten’s progression through the surf photog ranks has been just as impressive as his pre-injury surf career. His December 2023 photo of Conner Co n

(at Rincon) during that year ’s big swell now graces the cover of new Surf West Coast magazine (now available at discerning local surf shops). The magazine is the brainchild of George Salvador, who way-back-when founded legendary Breakout — California’s Surf Magazine, which became the third-most consumed surfing publication during its 1 7 1 run. For fans of print, and especially surf content in print, the appearance of Surf West Coast is a positive development as today’s fragmented surf media search-

es to meet the current moment. If you find a copy of Surf West Coast, snap it up! Besides owning the current issue’s cover, Flaaten also wrote a piece on local surf clubs. In addition to his photographic contributions to local surfing, Flaaten has also been a significant contributor and past administrator to the well-known “Legendary Surfers” group on Facebook. The site is well known to most historically minded surfers and is a go-to destination for anyone seeking details on surfers of the past and near-present. Flaaten has digitally penned thousands of posts on the site, almost always with a classic photo and the backstory. He also keeps his own “Surfing Tales, Past and Present” public group on Facebook which is easily findable and recommended. Through all this, Flaaten has remained a Rincon Point devotee of the highest order. “I think Rincon Point is such a gift and jewel. Every time I come up the freeway and see it, I experience such peace. It’s a truly special place.” If you have vintage Rincon stories and photographs, get in touch with Vince. Vince and Stephen Bates have written “the” photographic history of Rincon Point, available locally and online at amazon.com/dp/1467108707.

Meet Gigi, a pug and French bulldog mix who has found her forever home with the George family in Carpinteria. The family took her in from local rescue Cold Noses, Warm Hearts two months ago; she had been living as a breeding dog in Barstow. She now spends her days on Camino Trillado playing with Shadow, a retired Los Angeles County search and rescue dog, lounging in the sun, chasing tennis balls and cuddling with her human siblings: Hannah, Nico and Eli. “Gigi is slowly learning commands, trying not to bark at those walking by, and not jumping on people she meets. All in all, the Georges feel lucky to have her in the family!” Amanda Nicolato-George said in an email.

A year in sports: highlights from 2025 BY RYAN P. CRUZ

CARLOS ALVARADO

Pedro Campuzano dribbles past a defender in the pouring rain in February 202 .

Student athletes at Carpinteria High School provided a wealth of highlights in 2025, from the basketball and tennis courts to the baseball and softball diamonds, from the turf at Carpinteria Valley Memorial Stadium to the water at Carpinteria Community Pool. The year 2025 was one of transition for some sports, with new coaches taking over the softball, water polo and boys basketball programs. But it was also a year of growing success, not only in aquatics, but in the girls cross country and tennis programs, which continue to finish among the top in the league standings. Carpinteria girls tennis finished with a perfect 12-0 league record, claiming the Citrus Coast League title and both the singles and doubles league MVP awards. The duo of sisters Charlotte and Caroline Cooney were nearly unstoppable, winning every match together through the entire regular season and finishing as the Citrus Coast League Doubles MVPs. Sophomore Aubrey Alcaraz had a stellar season in singles, and was named as the

league’s Singles MVP. New water polo coach Russell Russo finished the boys season as the Citrus Coast League’s Co-Coach of the Year, while senior captain Jake hlers finished his career as the league MVP. As always, there were a few multisports stars showing their skills on multiple fields of play. Seniors Jamaica Cook and Charlotte Cooney are both key members of Carpinteria’s girls basketball squad, with both players consistently leading the team in scoring, rebounds and assists. Cook also led the girls golf team all year, finishing as the top medalists in almost every match and earning the league MVP award. Cooney is not only a standout on the basketball court; the senior is also top surfer, soccer goalie, tennis player and one of the best pitchers on the varsity baseball team. As we look forward to the next year of highlights — and the up-and-coming athletes who will be the stars of the next generation — Coastal View News has compiled this collection of photos of some of the best sports moments of 2025.

Lions receive new lawn vacuum for park

The Lions Club of Carpinteria recently received a large lawn vacuum for the Carpinteria Lions Community Building Association (CLCBA), donated to help maintain the lawn at Lions Park. A few Lions headed to Phoenix to pick the vacuum up before bringing it back to Carpinteria to be assembled by Lions David and Lucas Seehof. The lawn vacuum will be pulled behind the lawn mower to pick up and mulch the mowed grass.

Whoville or Carpinteria?

The Grinch — aka Coastal View News’ own Robin Karlsson in a costume — stopped by to close out The Alcazar Theatre’s showing of “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” on Dec. 23. Pictured here, Karlsson snaps photos with the kids on the theater ’s stage.
