Carpinteria High School

Student drug testing has begun at Carpinteria High School. It's the first school in Santa Barbara County to begin testing some students for drugs. Each week, a computer will select five students from a master list of those currently participating in sports and cheerleading, and they will be asked to submit a urine sample. About 400 students participate in such programs. Students will be tested for five types of illegal drugs: marijuana, methamphetamines, amphetamines, cocaine and opiates.

A 14-year-old Carpinteria High School student is in Juvenile Hall in Santa Barbara after he allegedly threatened to kill other students and a teacher, authorities said. The ninth-grade boy was taken into custody Saturday after one of his alleged victims told investigators that the youth had threatened to bring a handgun to school and shoot five students and one of his teachers. No weapon was found on the boy or in his home, said Drew Sugars, a spokesman for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department.

Imagine peeling 2,000 avocados. Then picture dicing 700 garlic cloves, 2,650 chilies, 700 tomatoes, 330 onions, 40 pounds of cheese and 40 cups of cilantro. Those are the ingredients in what has been billed as the "World's Biggest Vat of Guacamole." You can take a gander at this sea of green mush this weekend during the seventh annual California Avocado Festival in Carpinteria. The two-day festival is a giant party in honor of the avocado, the eighth-leading crop in Santa Barbara County and No.

Living a block from the beach, Joel Carty is so used to a surfer's lifestyle that he can walk barefoot over a collection of pointy rocks leading to the ocean and not wince once in discomfort. Having a high pain threshold and daring spirit also comes in handy in football, where Carty made 135 tackles last season as a junior linebacker when Carpinteria High went 14-0 and won the Southern Section Division XI championship.

Morningside 27, Temecula Valley 20--Morningside won its first Southern Section football title, holding off a last-minute drive to the 10-yard line.

Morningside also had clutch defensive performances from Jesse Swayze and Montre Gords.

Several members of the Division IX CIF (Southern Section) football co-titlists from Carpinteria High School are also members of the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) class. The class frequently uses The Times sports section to increase cultural literacy; however, the students were thrown for a loss recently. They were quick to point out that Mark Heisler confused Alexander the Great with Achilles in his Dec. 8 story.
