the customs, lore, quirks and fancies that make Carpinteria such a special place. These are the qualities that attract people from around the globe and breed a fierce pride in its citizens. It was nearly 12 years ago RMG Ventures, a new publishing company, was
formed. Founders Gary Dobbins, Michael VanStry and Rosemarie Fanucchi set out to report Carpinteria news and provide local businesses an affordable advertising medium in the form of a weekly newspaper. Coastal View News was born, and a dedicated staff, scores of weekly
contributors and a loyal readership continue to make this town’s newspaper better every week. We look forward to the same success with this publication.
