Russia denies accusation of plot to infiltrate Ukrainian government By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

On Saturday, the British government accused Russia of a plot to infiltrate the Ukrainian government with a proMoscow leader. The UK asserted that the former Ukrainian lawmaker Yevheniy Murayev is being considered as a potential candidate. Mr. Murayev is head of the pro-Russian party, Nashi, which currently has no seats in the Ukrainian parliament. Mr. Murayev rejects the idea that the Nashi party is pro-Russia: “The time of pro-Western and pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine is gone forever,” said Mr. Murayev in a Facebook post. “Everything that does not support the pro-Western path of development of

Ukraine is automatically pro-Russian,” Mr. Murayev told The Associated Press. Mr. Murayev also said that he supports Ukraine maintaining a neutral status and that “striving for NATO is tantamount to continuing the war.” The British Foreign Office also named several Ukrainian politicians said to have links with Russian intelligence. “Some of these have contact with Russian intelligence officers currently involved in the planning for an attack on Ukraine,” the Foreign Office said, according to the AP. The UK made the accusation based on an intelligence assessment, but did not provide evidence of the claim. It is unclear what means might be used to install a government in Kyiv. On Sunday, the Russian Foreign

Ministry rejected this claim. “The disinformation spread by the British Foreign Office is more evidence that it is the NATO countries, led by the Anglo-Saxons, who are escalating tensions around Ukraine. We call on the British Foreign Office to stop provocative activities, stop spreading nonsense,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on the Telegram messaging app, reported the AP. “What Russia wants is to have some autonomy in the East that would give Russia a veto over Ukraine’s foreign policy, and they’re looking for a guarantee that Ukraine will not join NATO,” Andrea Kendall-Taylor, a fellow at the Center for a New American Security and a former senior intelligence officer, told NPR. “The Russians have a plan and we

clearly think it’s worth people knowing about it. Calling it out takes away the element of surprise and also reduces the chances of Russia succeeding if they actually attempt it. When the Russians attempt this and say, ‘This is an independent Ukrainian political movement,’ we can say, ‘No, that’s not true, this is the work of your intelligence apparatus which we’ve been warning about,’” a Western official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence matters told the Washington Post. “This is very much a part of the Russian toolkit. It runs the gamut from a large, conventional incursion or invasion of Ukraine to these kinds of destabilizing activities in an attempt to topple the government, and it’s important that

Festival of Hearts

people be on notice about that possibility … We’ve given Russia two paths. There’s a path of diplomacy and dialogue, one that I engaged in just last week with Foreign Minister Lavrov in Geneva. But there’s also a path of its renewed aggression and massive consequences that we have been building now for many weeks, it’s not just us.” Secretary of State Anthony Bliken said on CNN’s State of The Union Sunday. “This kind of plotting is deeply concerning. The Ukrainian people have the sovereign right to determine their own future, and we stand with our democratically-elected partners in Ukraine,” said White House National Security Council spokeswoman Emily Horne in a statement. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Omicron variant expected to peak in February

Friendship Center’s virtual benefit begins today

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, is predicting that most states will see a peak with the omicron variant by midFebruary. States in the northeast and upper midwest have already peaked and declined somewhat sharply, but in the southern and western states, cases are still rising, according to Dr. Fauci. ‘“It’s not going to be uniform throughout the country because we have different dynamics and different regions throughout the country,” he said.

“You never want to be overconfident when you’re dealing with this virus.” Dr. Fauci told ABC’s “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz Sunday. “Even with omicron, boosting makes a major, major difference in protecting you from hospitalization and severe outcomes,” Dr. Fauci reported, referring to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Things are looking good. We don’t want to get overconfident, but they look like they’re going in the right direction right now,” said Dr. Fauci. Please see OMICRON on A4

Since 1976, the Friendship Center has been providing day programs for seniors, as well as respite and support for caregivers. According to a news release, the center’s focus is joy, social engagement and quality of life. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the Festival of the Hearts was a live event with various themes for the hearts. Themes have varied from “The Wizard of Oz” to the “California Dreamin.’” The artistic creativity has continued during the virtual Festivals of the Hearts during the pandemic. The Friendship Center is promoting this year’s

festival with the question, “In a topsy turvy world, what’s your superpower?” and sent an email to the News-Press with an image of a heart in a superhero costume. This is a festival that has always had a lot of heart, from the cause it supports to the ways artists have found to create a work of heart. “As an artist myself, I love the creativity, and I love the artists,” heart wrangler Sharon Morrow told the News-Press before the pandemic. Sponsors of this year’s festival include: Karolyn Hanna, Vangie Herrera & Al Anglin, First American Title Company, David Selberg & Hospice of Santa Barbara, Sophia Hohlbauch, Andriana Hohlbauch, Dana & Randall VanderMey and Marti Correa de Garcia & Garcia Architects, Inc.

North Dakota officials approve ‘world’s largest carbon capture facility’ By KIM JARRETT THE CENTER SQUARE

Institute report of 135 commercial capture and storage projects worldwide.” Gov. Burgum called the commission’s vote “historic.” “We’re grateful for the private and public investment in this technology, which will help provide a viable path forward for our abundant lignite coal and the reliable, affordable electricity it provides for hundreds of thousands of citizens in North Dakota and beyond,” Gov. Burgum said in a Twitter post. The project has not been without its detractors. Environmental watchdog group Dakota Resource Council and another group have previously expressed concerns that the carbon dioxide could escape and affect drinking water, according to Inforum.

(The Center Square) – The North Dakota Industrial Commission has approved a carbon storage facility for Minnkota Power Cooperative’s Project Tundra. Dubbed the “world’s largest carbon capture facility,” the $1 billion project was made possible by an investment from the Milton R. Young Power Station in Oliver County, according to a news release from the commission. The station will capture 90% of its carbon dioxide, which amounts to 4 million metric tons annually, according to the commission. Gov. Doug Burgum serves as chairman of the three-member commission that also includes Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem and Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring. “Project Tundra has stated the facility will capture [carbon dioxide] emissions that are equal to removing 800,000 gasolinefueled vehicles off the road each year,” they said in a joint statement. The project includes two injection wells in the Broom Creek Formation and one in the Deadwood Formation. They are located 1 to 2 miles underground and could hold up to 50 billion tons of carbon dioxide. “Extensive work was done by Minnkota and the UND Energy & Environmental Research Center to develop a proposal that meets all of the regulatory and financial assurance requirements the State has established for these storage facilities,” said Lynn Helms, Department of Mineral Resources director. “Project Tundra ranks in the top 10 of the Global CCS

UC Riverside defeats UCSB Warriors fight firestorm in women’s basketball with fire power By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

RIVERSIDE – The UCSB women’s basketball team was held to a season-low in points Saturday at UC Riverside, falling to the Highlanders 55-42. Senior point guard Danae Miller played all 40 minutes, finishing as the Gauchos’ (8-6, 2-3) only doubledigit scorer with a team-high 15 points. With three assists and one three-pointer, she moves into ties with Barbara Beainy (404 career assists) and Sarah Porter (133 career threes) for No. 6 and No. 8 all-time, respectively, in the UCSB record book Despite holding Riverside (5-6, 2-2) to just 33.9 percent shooting, UCSB struggled to take care of the ball, turning it over a season-high 24 times. The game was much closer early on than the final score might indicate, as the Gauchos actually shot a slightly better percentage (38.1%) than the Highlanders (37.5%) did in the opening half. Miller and fellow guard Johnni Gonzalez had seven points apiece on a combined 5-of-10 from the

The Gauchos went into the half down by just a point, 23-22. UCR began to pull away with a strong third quarter. Santa Barbara went just 2-of-11 from the field, getting outscored 15-7 in the period. It was still a one possession game in the final two minutes of the quarter, but the Highlanders knocked down a pair of threes to make it a 38-29 game heading into the fourth. After going down by doubledigits early in the fourth, UCSB got four straight from junior center Ila Lane and senior guard Megan Anderson to cut it to a seven point game, 40-33. Lane didn’t have a field goal in the first three quarters, but was a perfect 3-for-3 in the final period. UCR then went on a 7-0 run,

taking its largest lead to that point, 47-33 to seal the win. With 15 points, Miller has now scored at least 14 in four straight games for the second time in her career. She did so in five straight games during the 2020 Big West season. The Gauchos connected on just 3-of-18 from the outside as a team, tying a season-low for three-point makes. Following two straight on the road, UCSB returns home for a Tuesday meeting with CSUN. The Gauchos will also face Hawaii at home next Thursday. Both games are set to begin at 7 p.m.

SBCC men’s basketball team wins hard-fought game

SBCC beats L.A. Pierce in women’s basketball

By MICHAEL JORGENSON SBCC SPORTS WRITER

The Santa Barbara City College men’s basketball team fought hard to pick up its first win of 2022 on Saturday at the SBCC Sports Pavilion, as forward Adam Weingard’s 18-point, 14-rebound double-double helped lead the Vaqueros to a 77-71 win over L.A. Pierce. The Brahmas (8-9, 0-3) tried to put a lot of on-ball pressure early on, full-court pressing and trapping SBCC’s ball-handlers. This opened up a lot of room for the Vaqueros (6-12, 1-3) to operate, as they shot an excellent 17-for31 (54.8%) from the field in the opening half. However, in a close first half, LA Pierce looked to gain some separation taking a six point lead with 5:48 left. From there, Santa Barbara went on a big 7-0 run, taking the lead back on an Elijah Simpson layup. The home side trailed at the half by a point, 41-40. Things remained tight into the final 10 minutes, with SBCC trailing 55-52. A pair of layups by forward Jon Pearson may have shifted momentum in the Vaqueros’ favor. Weingard followed with a tough putback from in deep to put the Vaqueros back on top 59-58. Simpson hit a sweet jumper fading to the baseline, and forward Brycyn Gossett put in a pair of layups to push the Vaquero lead to 69-62, their largest of the night. The Brahmas made things interesting, coming back with six unanswered and cutting it to a one-point deficit in the final minute. Forward Tommy Condon’s free throws with 32 seconds left extended it back to a three-point lead. The Brahmas had a chance to cut it back to one, but missed a pair of free throws, and Simpson iced the game from the line at the other end. When they were able to beat the Pierce trap, the Vaqueros shared the ball on the break beautifully at times. They finished with 22 assists, just one shy of a seasonbest. For the first time in their last four games, the Vaqueros shot 50 percent (29-58 FG) from the field, which helped to neutralize their 23-16 disadvantage in the turnover department. After allowing Pierce to shoot

50 percent in the first half, the Vaqueros shut them down over the final 20 minutes, holding them to just 9-of-35 (25.7%) from the field. Four of SBCC’s five starters shot at least 50 percent, and big man Luke Sinclair went a perfect 5-for-5 off the bench. The 6-foot7 forward finished with seasonhighs of 10 points and three assists in just 13 minutes. Weingard’s 18-point, 14-board performance notched his second double-double of the year. In addition to a new season-high on the glass, he enjoyed his highest field goal percentage (58.3%) on a 7-of-12 shooting night. “I want to give a shoutout to Luke Sinclair,” SBCC head coach Devin Engebretsen said. “:He did a lot for us in the first half, and then he came up with a big rebound late on two missed free throws, grabbed the board and then called timeout. It’s little plays like that help us win. “Adam Weingard had a great game for us too, but from a team perspective, it was the second half defense.” Devin proved to a prophet during the game. “I wrote on the board at halftime that if we could outscore them 37-31, we’re going home with a win... and the second half score was 37-30,” he said. “These guys are starting to figure out what it takes to play team defense, and holding those guys to 25 percent shooting in the second half shows their attention to our defensive end.” The Vaqueros head on the road for three games this week, beginning with a trip to Oxnard today for a 5 p.m. tipoff.

The Westmont women’s basketball team (16-3, 92) found plenty of offense on Saturday afternoon as the fifth-ranked Warriors defeated Arizona Christian (15-7, 5-6) by a score of 99-57. Five Warriors scored in double figures, led by Iyree Jarrett who knocked down nine 3-point shots on her way to 31 points. She also recorded six assists. Stefanie Berberabe notched a double-double of 15 points and 13 assists to go with six rebounds. Laila Saenz hit four long-range bombs in tallying 14 points and Destiny Okonkwo recorded her second double-double in as many games with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Kaitlin Larson came off the bench to notch 12 points and six rebounds in 18 minutes of play. “This is the first time our whole team has been in the same room in over a month,” noted Westmont head coach Kirsten Moore of her team that is recovering from illness and injury. “That was exciting and we wanted to approach today with a renewed sense of gratitude for the opportunity to compete together and to all be here. “We talked about attacking from the tip and I thought we did that. We had a phenomenal start and another great start to the second half.” The Warriors began the game with two 3pointers by Laila Saenz and one by Iyree Jarrett on their first three possessions to take a 9-0 lead. That kicked off a 20-4 run, putting the Warriors in control of the game. Jarrett would drop in two more from long distance before the first quarter came to an end with the Warriors ahead 20-12. The second quarter looked much like the first with Jarrett landing two more from long distance and Saenz adding another. Gabriella Stoll also connected from beyond the arc, giving Westmont nine threes by halftime. Destiny Okonkwo marshaled the Warriors inside game, tallying nine points and nine rebounds before heading to the locker room at intermission with a 46-23 advantage. The Warriors did not let up in the third quarter, which they won 28-10. Jarrett made three more from long distance and Haylie Dermer joined the

Jarrett, Dermer and Saenz each added one more in the fourth quarter bringing the team total to 16, which ties for the sixth most in Warrior history. “We had great inside-outside presence,” Moore said. “Obviously, Iyree was so hot from the perimeter, but it was not just that. We had five players with double figures and a lot of people contributing. Stef, with 13 assists, is just incredible. She made an impact all over the court. Destiny continued to be a beast inside with 13 boards. “We have the pieces to build on. We have work to do, but today was a great step. We also had people come off the bench and contribute. That people have had to step into roles that maybe they wouldn’t have over the last month is hopefully going to help us down the stretch. “Twenty-seven assists is awesome. I thought we played unselfish basketball. We passed up a good shot to get a great shot. “We are trying to lock in and come back from all the adversity that we faced — to regroup in the second half of GSAC and try to get some rhythm here as we hopefully head into postseason opportunities. We have a ways to go in building toward what we want to be, but this was an important step for us today.” The Warriors will be presented with an opportunity to take another step next week when they travel to Santa Clarita on Saturday to take on the fourth-ranked Mustangs of The Master’s (22-0, 11-0).

Lia Rodriguez and Brianna Jacobs both tied season-highs with 12 points apiece to help lead the Santa Barbara City College women’s basketball team to a 53-36 home win over L.A. Pierce on Saturday night. With their fifth win in six games, the Vaqueros improved to 3-1 in WSC play and 8-10 overall. Neither team had a potent start offensively to the game, as Santa Barbara led 21-18 at the half. However, a big third quarter in which they scored 22 points saw the Vaqueros push their lead to 15 points heading into the fourth quarter of their home game. That was tied for SBCC’s highest-scoring quarter so far in 2022. Rodriguez scored the Vaqueros’ first eight points in the third, knocking down a three, converting a three-point play and then putting in a layup to make it a 29-19 game at the 7:22 mark. Jacobs hit a three and a layup, and Rodriguez made one more shot to bring her quarter total to 10 points. SBCC led 43-28 by the start of the final period. The lead grew to as large as 18 points on an Isabella Favazzo three-pointer with 5:09 left in the game. Bautista scored a season-best seven points on 3-of-8 shooting. Guard Isabella Jensen Williams filled up the stat sheet with six points, five rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks. Forward Asia Kirven grabbed a team-high eight rebounds while also dishing out five assists. This was the Vaqueros’ second win over the Brahmas in seven days. They similarly won by a final score of 53-35 last Saturday on the road. LA Pierce is the only team that SBCC has held under 40 points. SBCC heads on the road for three games next week, starting at Oxnard in a 7:00 p.m. tipoff on Monday.

Westmont swimming sends seniors out in style By RON SMITH WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

The Westmont swimming team conducted its final home meet of the season Saturday and took time to honor two seniors — Holley Fellows and Olivia Huebner. In a ceremony prior to the first race, Westmont head coach Jill Jones Lin recognized the devotion of each swimmer to the team and thanked them for their contributions to Women’s Swimming. Jones Lin also expressed gratitude to the two opponents, saying “We were so grateful for Simpson and Westcliff to come out for the meet so we could celebrate our seniors at our last home meet of the season.” Westmont’s swimmers won 13 of the

14 women’s races, while racking up 628 points to Westcliff’s 182 and 622 points to Simpson’s 103 in double-dual scoring. “It was such a fun day to be a Warriors,” said Jones Lin. “This was the first time in a long time that our whole team was able to race and contribute to the overall score. Some of the most notable races were Olivia Huebner within seconds of her best time in three of her events and Emma Leathers (2:42.07) dropping nine seconds on the 200 yard butterfly with this being only her second time to swim it and while swimming it by herself.” The Warriors won the opening 400 yard medley relay with Rian Lewandowski, Ella Chaisson, Olivia Garrison and Bridget Hoth posting a time of 4:19.59. In the 1650 yard freestyle, Morgan Bienias claimed first place with a time of 18:43.40. The 200 yard freestyle was won by Garrison in a time of 2:02.89.

In a ceremony prior to the first race, Westmont head coach Jill Jones Lin recognized the devotion of each swimmer to the team and thanked them for their contributions to Women’s Swimming. Ellie Muench then won the 100 yard backstroke, finishing in a time of 1:03.34 Chaisson took the win for Westmont in the 100 yard breaststroke, completing the four-length race in a time of 1:12.13. The 50 yard freestyle followed with Hoth winning in a time of 25.96. In the 100 yard freestyle, Hoth (57.12) was edged out of first by Simpson’s Taryn Monnot by just a tenth of one second. In the 200 yard backstroke, Bienias claimed a nearly 10 second win, posting a time of 2:17.69. Then Chaisson won the 200 yard Breaststroke by 17 seconds with a time of 2:36.25.

Garrison’s time of 5:26.39 was good enough to win the 500 yard freestyle, edging out Simpson’s Irene Lopez by just 0.49 seconds after 20 lengths of the pool. Lewandowski notched the win in the 100 yard butterfly with a time of 1:04.12 In the last individual race of the day, Chaisson won the 200 yard individual medley in a time of 2:17.34. The women’s competition ended with the Warriors winning the 400 yard freestyle. Garrison, Bienias, Lewandowski and Hoth posted a time of 3:52.20 in the 16-length race. The Warriors will conclude the 2021-

22 regular season next week when they travel across town to swim against UC Santa Barbara on Friday and Saturday. The postseason begins with the Pacific Coast Swim Conference Championships, which will be held in St. Georgia, Utah on the campus of Dixie State Feb.16-19. The NAIA National Championships will be held March 2-5 in Columbus, Georgia. Ron Smith is the sports information director at Westmont College. email: sports@newspress.com

UCSB makes spectacular splash at water polo invitational By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The No. 18-ranked UCSB women’s water polo team finished off day two Saturday of the 2022 UCSB Winter Invite in spectacular fashion, as Leigh Lyter’s unreal game-winning goal from near the middle of the pool left two seconds on the clock to put the Gauchos on top 15-14 over No. 19 Princeton. That came just hours after another thriller, a 16-15 win over No. 23 Wagner which also saw the Gauchos overcome a fourth quarter deficit.

With two more games remaining in its opening weekend, UCSB is now out to a 3-1 start, its best since 2019. As she did against Wagner earlier in the day, attacker Leigh Lyter scored four goals against the Tigers, tying fellow redshirt freshman Nina Munson for gamehigh honors. All four of Lyter’s goals came in the second half, as she helped UCSB fight back from a 7-4 deficit early in the third quarter. A pair of incredible buzzer beaters highlighted the Gaucho win. After a Princeton turnover

with just seconds left in the third, freshman utility Annie Kuester took it upon herself to tie the score for the first time since the opening period. She brought it down the left side and beat the Tigers’ goalkeeper with a gorgeous shot to the far post from way outside. The teams traded the lead a couple more times, and UCSB found itself trailing 14-13 after Maisie McPherson put Princeton up with 48 seconds remaining. Needing an equalizer, the Gauchos turned to freshman center Imani Clemons, who tied it with just 19 seconds to go.

Going for the win, Princeton attempted an aggressive long pass from the goalkeeper position, but Caitlyn Snyder intercepted it to set up one final chance for the Gauchos in regulation. Snyder sent it across the pool to Lyter, who reeled it in and composed herself before lofting the most perfect, and improbable gamewinning shot in from extremely long distance

UCSB wins men’s tennis season opener By DANIEL MOEBUS-BOWLES UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The UCSB men’s tennis team (1-0) picked up a dual match season-opening win over San Francisco Saturday afternoon defeating the Dons 5-2 in a match that saw the Gauchos achieve many “firsts.” It was the first win of the 2022 season, the first win in the team’s first match at the beautiful Arnhold Tennis Center, and it was the first career win for head coach Blake Muller. The six-time defending Big West champs got the ball rolling early in doubles play as sophomores Phillip Jordan and Kai Brady made quick work of their opponents on court one and picked up a 6-1 win. Freshman Gianluca Brunkow and sophomore Pablo Masjuan saw a tough battle on court three but fought through adversity to seal the doubles point with a 6-4 victory.

The six-time defending Big West champs got the ball rolling early in doubles play as sophomores Phillip Jordan and Kai Brady made quick work of their opponents on court one and picked up a 6-1 win. Into the singles round the Gauchos rolled as Jordan wasted no time picking up his first solo win of the season on court one 6-1, 6-1 over USF’s Phuc Huynh to give his team a 2-0 lead in the match. Brunkow was next putting UCSB just a match away at 3-0 with his 6-1, 7-5 win on court six over USF’s David Woodland. The final dagger came on court four where Brady took down Don Stevie Gould 6-4, 6-3 to clinch the match for the Gauchos. With courts two, three, and five all tied up after two sets after, a 10-point third set was

played on all three courts. Senior Viktor Krustev managed to win his battle on court two over Nitzan Ricklis, while the Dons took wins on three and five to make the final score 5-2 in UCSB’s favor. The Gauchos will now hit the road to face LMU Friday and Utah on Saturday. Both matches will be played in Los Angeles.

against a ranked opponent earlier in the day. Wagner started strong, taking a 5-2 lead in the final minutes of the opening frame. However, the Gauchos turned the tide with some inspired play the rest of the half. Defender Claire Kelly brought them level at 8-8 with 2:02 left in the second, capping a 6-3 UCSB run. The two sides battled to a stalemate until midway through the fourth quarter, when Wagner went ahead once again with 4:25 left, taking a slight 14-13 advantage. Lyter tied it on the

Legendary photojournalist captured the 1960s Montecito filmmaker recalls her interview with civil-rights era photographer Steve Schapiro

PHOTO COURTESY ALICIA ST. JOHN

Montecito author Alicia St. John meets with acclaimed civil rights-era photojournalist Steve Schapiro at the Drumbar in Chicago. That’s where she interviewed him about his memories of Sen. Robert Kennedy.

Editor’s note: Alicia St. John is an award-winning Montecito author and filmmaker who interviewed acclaimed civil rights-era photojournalist Steve Schapiro in 2019. She submitted this story to the News-Press about her conversation with the photographer, who died Jan. 15 in Chicago after battling pancreatic cancer. By ALICIA ST. JOHN SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-PRESS

Photojournalist Steve Schapiro has passed away. He was 87. Beginning as a freelance photojournalist in 1961, Steve captured some of the defining moments of the 1960s during a critical turning point of American history. He photographed the civil rights march on Washington, as well as the march from Selma to Montgomery. At the time, the authorities tried to prevent him from taking photos of the marches. At one point, they even took away his undeveloped film. But he gave the man his unexposed rolls and hid the exposed films, tucked away in his shirt. Those images became some of the most revered photos, chronicling the civil rights movement. I convinced Steve to allow me to interview him, but only because I had just finished filming a biopic on Bobby Kennedy’s legacy, “This

Ain’t Harvard,” which was told from the perspective of the last man surviving of Sen. Kennedy’s inner circle of five, on the 1968 campaign trail. Steve told me that he was Sen. Kennedy’s official photographer on the South American tour, and he would agree to the interview, if we could talk about his memories of Bobby. Our interview was on Oct, 22, 2019, two months before the COVID-19 pandemic would hit the U.S. and close down the world as we knew it. I was on my last day of the three-day film project, which included a candid interview of the legendary Steve Schapiro at locations all around Chicago: from the Museum of Modern Art, rising amid the downtown skyscrapers, to a brownstone artist’s studio, on the industrial side of town. But on that last day, I directed my film crew at the Drumbar, a speakeasy designed with all the cool elegance of that era, belonging to the man I was to capture for all posterity, Steve Schapiro. There he sat, alone at the bar, blending into the Art Deco scene, as the bartender slid a martini into place before him, and Steve turned to the camera to begin his thoughts on Bobby Kennedy: “So, what makes a man an icon?” I was enthralled, elated and grateful to hear this iconic man’s stories of the people, places and events that shaped the 20th century. In the decades after the civil rights movement, Steve had worked as the on-set photographer for motion pictures, producing images for “The Godfather,” “Midnight Cowboy,” “First Blood,” “Risky Business” and “The Way

We Were.” He also photographed legendary musicians such as Barbra Streisand and David Bowie, the latter immortalized in published tomes. He was a personal friend to Andy Warhol and had unrestricted access to chronicle the Velvet Underground. Monographs of Steve’s work include “American Edge,” which recounts the political turbulence of the 1960s, and “Schapiro’s Heroes,” profiling 10 figures that the photographer collaborated with, including Muhammad Ali; Andy Warhol; the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; Sen. Robert Kennedy; Ray Charles; Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis; James Baldwin; Samuel Beckett; Barbra Streisand and Truman Capote. Steve’s work is part of private and public collections, including the Smithsonian Museum, the High Museum of Art, the New York Metropolitan Museum and the Getty Museum. Longtime friend David Fahey, owner of Fahey/Klein Gallery explains, “There are six skills required to create unique, indelible pictures, those being instinct; intuition; curiosity; experience; trust and talent. Steve Schapiro had them all. He made the kind of images that reminded you to contemplate. Either historical moments or influential people. He just knew how to reach into their soul and make that photo, which projected their personality.” But Steve was humble about his life’s work. He once said, “I try to be a fly on the wall as much as possible. For me, emotion is the strongest quality in a picture.” David Fahey sums up the life of

the legendary talent, “Steve’s work is hard-hitting, message-driven photographs. They have their own innate beauty, but it’s not typical beauty. To the end, Steve transcribed the world around him through his camera.” Steve Schapiro is survived by Maura Smith, his wife of 39 years; sons Theophilus Donoghue and Adam Shapiro; and daughters Elle Harvey and Taylor Schapiro. Alicia St. John is an awardwinning Montecito author, publisher and film-maker, known for the screen adaptation and directing “This Ain’t Harvard,” an inspirational biopic of the life of Robert F. Kennedy, as told from the perspective of the last of his inner circle of five. Her film, “Icons, Creators of 20th Century Arts & Culture,” includes candid interviews of the legendary photojournalist, Steve Schapiro, and was filmed at key locations in Chicago, each an exact reflection of the varied genres of his work and the stories behind the photos. Subsequent interviews for “Icons” include Yann Wenner and Ian Schrager. Ms. St. John’s live-action children’s film, “Piglet Willy,” is yet in pre-production, is filmed at historical locations in California and includes one of six of Charles Lindbergh’s bi-planes, as integral to the story of the hero, William Quest. The original children’s book was endorsed by Ray Bradbury, Stan Lee and Thomas Steinbeck. Ms. St. John is a lover of classic cars and owner of a 1958 British race car. Her next book launch is “Passion, Classic Cars & Collectors,” portraits of the mystique of men and their cars, as an imprint on history.

St. Francis figure shows the artistry of Santos works

his is a personal story of an object that was a gift to me by my partner this holiday season, a Santos figure at 32 inches tall of St. Francis. And although I have a few Spanish Colonial Santos, this one is unique, because his finely wrought glass eyes follow me, and his mournful expression moves me. The interest I have in works of art called Santos lies in the mix of cultures and craft traditions that they represent from the 18th and 19th centuries. Saint effigies have been “in production” for centuries, but when the tradition of sculpting life-like figures of the Saints came to the Americas, a unique art form was born based on archetypes from Flanders, Spain and Italy. In areas such as ours with a heavy Spanish presence, those traditions were adopted by local artisans, who worked in an ancient style of carving based on local woods. The art was decorated with local pigments. Since many Santos have been lovingly repaired (more about that later) over the years, the repairs themselves tell a story of changing traditions wrought by many hands. In the case of a Santos, a repair or overpaint is actually a sign of authenticity and — devotion. Before certain Holy Days, or during certain times of trouble, the faithful would “clean” and dress these figures. For example, in the case of my St. Francis, his neck has been repaired at the back of his cowl, and not very professionally, and then overpainted with flesh colored house paint. This is to be expected. I also see signs of cleaning, a bit too rigorously, and traces of overpainting. Due to his large scale, my St. Francis was likely used for public devotion, set into a church altar, for example. However, my partner also gave me a Santos figure of St. John (holding a book), which, because of its small scale, was used in a home altar. St. John is

also broken and repaired, and his robe has been dotted with overpainted fake gold paint. This palette of many colors is called “polychrome,” a tradition that flowed from Europe as a method of painting carved and gessoed wood. The base is usually soft grained wood, overlayed with animal glue, with a coating of chalk and animal glue. Both are necessary for the next step, which is the paint surface. Further reinforcing that my large St. Francis was used for public devotion is the richness of the colors used: He has areas of gold leaf, which is supported underneath by clay and glue, and his tunic is decorated with incised cross hatching, which imitates the

texture of the fabric. The paint used was typically oil, but also we find tempera (paints in egg yolk). Yes, St. Francis is a saint representing the wisdom of poverty, hence his dull colored brown/ green vestment, but the richness of his sainthood and “message” is indicated by the gold leaf. Color is a clue: Blue was the most expensive color to use, as well as gold leaf. Brown or green was not expensive; thus we have the reality of poverty and holiness in one Santos. Unlike works of art of the same period in two dimensions, a “refresh” of the paint surface indicated veneration of the saint. Local woods were used, but for the more public Santos, when imported woods arrived in ships

from Cuba or Honduras, these were purchased at great price. Conservators of such works have a difficult decision regarding restoration because these layers of paint do indicate care and love, and the idea of bringing a work back to the “original” condition is questionable. Cleaning with modern restoration solvents is also discouraged, as the various layers of paint will react differently to these. For example, alcoholbased solvents will eat away at certain paints. The most conservative approach is the best: Keep the Santos out of changes of temperature and humidity because wood expands and contracts in those cases. Where was my St. Francis created? Because of the life-life soulful expression on the face, and the human-like glass eyes, and the quality of the face molding, the work is Peruvian, late 18th century. The expression on the face could not have been achieved in wood alone: The artisan used a mixture of wax, rosin and chalk to mold the fine dignified expression. The meticulously crafted glass eyes indicate a Peruvian origin, as these enriched the deeply expressive, mannerist style. The aim was to create a Santos that imitated life. The eyes are so realistic the devotee would think that those eyes could see. And perhaps they do. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press. Written after her father’s COVID19 diagnosis, Dr. Stewart’s book “My Darlin’ Quarantine: Intimate Connections Created in Chaos” is a humorous collection of five “what-if” short stories that end in personal triumphs over presentday constrictions. It’s available at Chaucer’s in Santa Barbara.

Chip Fraser to sign ‘Looking for Emerald City’ VENTURA — The Bank of Books is hosting a book signing with Chip Fraser, author of “Looking for Emerald City,” from 1 to 3 p.m. Feb. 19 at the store, 748 E. Main St., Ventura. “The core message of ‘Looking for Emerald City’ is for everyone to live in the present, cease criticizing others, eat healthy, (mostly) smile, regularly exercise patience, practice prayer and meditation, and volunteer whenever possible. It teaches us how our lives depend on our attitudes, perception, focus and energy,” reads a quote from the book’s cover. The book is made up of

vignettes predicated on hope, dreams and positive thinking, challenging yet hopeful. It suggests various concepts and what to do about them always with a path to solution and resolution. Dr. Fraser graduated with his bachelor’s and master’s in psychology at Old Dominion University in Norfolk., Va., and earned his doctorate at the University of Virginia. He went on to teach public school in Norfolk and Ventura for nearly 40 years. Dr. Fraser also taught at the college level for five years. Dr. Fraser was president of Ventura Unified Education Association for five years. Additionally he has worked as a Hollywood writer and producer as a hobby. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

UCSB has announced the creation of the Arnhold A&L Education Initiative. Benefactors John and Jody Arnhold continue to support UCSB with this new gift of $1.145 million over three years. According to UCSB, the Arnholds’ generosity has made a significant impact on the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts, UCSB athletics and more. This includes support for students and production in theater and dance, the English Department and recently the opening of the new Arnhold Tennis Center. The initiative is designated to sustain UCSB Arts & Lectures’ mission of educating, entertaining and inspiring the university’s students and members of the surrounding community. The initiative will also support upcoming residencies with world-renowned artists like Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis who will perform a virtual assembly for K-12 students from Santa Barbara and Ventura counties with its Jazz for Young People program titled “What Does Jazz Mean?” at 9:45 a.m. Feb. 4.

The presentation will be live streamed from The Granada for local schools, while UCSB Black Studies students who have been invited to observe can participate in a post-performance Q&A with the artists. Tickets for JLCO’s 8 p.m. Feb. 4 performance are available at artsandlectures.ucsb.edu/Details. aspx?PerfNum=4720. “The arts stimulate the imagination,so exposing students to those at the top of their craft will enhance the educational experience at UCSB. Students will think bigger, dream bigger and create bigger,” said UCBS alumnus John Arnhold. In a news release, UCSB noted Mr. and Mrs. Arnhold love the opportunities that they can make available for students, “The Arnholds’ gift is truly visionary. It will allow Arts & Lectures to fulfill our mission to serve our campus and community with robust residencies and arts education programs with some of today’s most prolific performers,” said Celesta M. Billeci, the Arts & Lectures’ Miller McCune executive director. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Diversions HOROSCOPE s PUZZLES

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Aries: A female visitor who might have a few problems might come to your door wanting advice and sympathy, Aries. She could have some other news that could come as a shock to you. A crisis on the job might make it necessary for you or your partner to spend most of the time today away from home and family. Taurus: Tasks of any kind are all likely to seem like the labors of Hercules today, Taurus. Overwork and nerve strain could have you feeling a little bit under the weather today, and it might be a good idea for you to take some time alone to rest. If you can’t do that, at least try to take things easy. Some unexpected changes in your community might have your neighbors’ tongues wagging. Gemini: Money matters might be weighing on the mind of a close friend or lover and your advice could be sought. A creative project of some kind may require a larger expenditure of money, time, or other resources than you originally thought, and this could have you wondering if you’ll be able to continue with it. Cancer: You might have visitors, Cancer, or even a hot date scheduled for tonight, but by midafternoon you might be feeling too tired to go through with it and wondering if you should cancel. It’s best to keep your activities low key. Have coffee and snacks at home instead of going out, and get the snacks from the store! Leo: Deliveries you may be expecting could be delayed or held up. Today you might learn something shocking about a neighbor or relative, and gossip might spread very rapidly through your community. This could have you reeling even though it might be exaggerated. You could pay visits to a few people nearby, Leo, or spend a lot of time on the phone trying to learn the truth. Virgo: Some good but surprising news about a group with which you may be affiliated could come your way today, Virgo. Perhaps fundraising activities have been more successful than you thought, or perhaps recognition is coming your way. A lot of paperwork may have to be completed before this can be made to work for you, however. Libra: Some upsetting news regarding money could throw you into a bit of a dither today, Libra. Perhaps a check you’ve been

expecting hasn’t arrived on time, or maybe the bank has made a computer error regarding your account. It’s nothing that can’t be straightened out, though it’s going to be a pain making all of those phone calls. Scorpio: A temporary setback with regard to your career might have you feeling a bit disoriented right now, Scorpio. Modern equipment of some kind might be involved. Don’t make yourself crazy; this is only temporary and will be straightened out. Your own determination, efficiency, and practical abilities should have it taken care of in no time. Sagittarius: Today may start out being a very frustrating day, Sagittarius. Be prepared! Some equipment with which you work might suddenly go out of order and it could take a while to get it fixed. A temporary separation from a romantic partner could also be disappointing. You may have a lot of physical energy for which you have little immediate outlet. Take a long walk. Capricorn: Your level of artistic inspiration is very high today, Capricorn. Dreams or meditation may have brought up some spiritual insights and revelations for you, and you may have promptly forgotten them upon coming out of your dream or meditative state. This could prove very frustrating for you! Try writing them down even if you only remember snatches. Aquarius: A delivery of some kind that you were expecting to come from far away might be delayed, causing you to wonder if it might have been lost. It hasn’t, Aquarius; it’s just delayed. Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do but wait. Equipment you use on the job could go out of whack today, necessitating calling in a repairman. Pisces: Today you’re likely to be feeling especially passionate, sexy, and desirous of a romantic encounter, Pisces. You might even have a hot date scheduled. However, don’t be surprised if it has to be postponed for reasons beyond the control of either you or your partner. If you can’t do otherwise, you might try to sublimate those feelings through creative activities. Engrossing novels and movies could also prove a good outlet, although never as good as the real thing!

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.

T.S. No.: 9508-1994 TSG Order No.: 8760688 A.P.N.: 053-193016 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 05/23/2008. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Affinia Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 07/29/2008 as Document No.: 2008-0044727, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Santa Barbara County, California, executed by: JANIS MCCLINE: MERLIN L MCCUNE, TRUSTEE OF THE MERLIN LEWIS MCCUNE, JANIS MCCUNE LIVING TRUST DATED LOUIS 05/30/07, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. Sale Date & Time: 02/16/2022 at 01:00 PM Sale Location: At the main entrance to the County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3038 CALLE ROSALES, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93105 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $191,247.37 (Estimated) as of 01/31/2022. Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9508-1994. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-9390772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case, 9508-1994, to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.
