Rams win Super Bowl Los Angeles scores winning touchdown in the final seconds

By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Andrew Whitworth, Los Angeles Rams left tackle, took home the 2021 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Jhene Aiko performed “America the Beautiful’’ and Mickey Guyton performed the national anthem. And, of course, the Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals by a score of 23-20 after a last-minute touchdown from L.A. quarterback Matthew Stafford and a big fourthdown stop by Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Sean McVay brought home the championship in his fifth season as head coach for the rams. Opposing head coach Zac Taylor, in his third season for the Bengals, had previously served on McVay’s team as a wide receiver coach, and then a quarterback coach before joining the Bengals as head coach. Taylor and McVay are the two youngest head coaches in the league at 38 and 36, respectively. Although the Rams led strongly in the first half of the game, the Bengals made a characteristic comeback, kicking off the third quarter with a touchdown to launch them into the lead. In the first quarter, Stafford capped the Rams’ second drive with a 17-yard touchdown pass to Odell Beckhamd Jr., putting them in the lead. The Bengals struggled in the first quarter to gain even one yard in three plays, before settling for a field goal. The first quarter ended with the Rams ahead 7-3. The Rams scored another touchdown in the second quarter putting the rams up 13-3. In the second quarter, the Bengals’ Joe Mixon scored a touchdown, bringing the score up to 13-9. The Bengals also added a field goal, bringing them up 1310. In the second quarter, Odell tore his ACL for the second time, causing him to drop the ball, and he was helped off the field. He did not return in the contest. The Rams lead 13-10 at the end of the second quarter. “We have to be more efficient in early downs,” said McVay, just prior to halftime. Kicking off the third quarter, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow found Tee Higgins downfield on the first play of the second half. When a Rams defender fell down, Higgins went for a 75 yard touchdown, putting the Bengals up 17-13. Stafford also sustained an injury in the third quarter, but

was not forced to leave the game. The third quarter ended with the Bengals up 20 to 16. Burrow was at his best in Sunday’s game, buying time and not always looking to run, but breaking down the defensive line. In the final quarter, with only 1:25 on the clock Stafford led the Rams in a 15-play, 79 yard drive. The Rams made it to the one-yard line after a defensive pass interference penalty was called on the Bengals Eli Apple. Stafford attempted a quarterback sneak on the last play but did not make it into the end-zone,

forcing Cincinnati to call their first time out. Kupp made a leap into the air, in the end zone, to score the winning touchdown. The Rams became SuperBowl LVI champions with a final score of 23-20. “Donald and his Rams teammates sacked Burrow on seven occasions. There were a total of nine sacks inside SoFi Stadium … Stafford finished with 283 passing yards and three touchdowns. Kupp had eight catches for 92 yards and two touchdowns,” according to Please see SUPER BOWL on A4

Police clear bridge at U.S.-Canadian border, arrest remaining protesters blocking key trade route Twenty-five percent of all U.S.-Canada trade passes over bridge connecting Windsor, Ontario to Detroit By JOHN SOLOMON JUST THE NEWS

Police in Ontario on Sunday arrested protesters still blocking the Ambassador Bridge, seeking to clear the major trade route between Canada and the United States after days of COVID-19 restriction protests that captured the world’s attention. Windsor police told the Associated Press that arrests began and vehicles were towed starting just after dawn at the bridge linking Detroit and Windsor, Ontario – the busiest northern border

crossing to the U.S. “Television images showed officers detaining protesters. Only two pickup trucks and less than a dozen protesters blocked the road to the bridge before police moved in. Afterward, police barricades remained and it was not immediately clear when the bridge might be opened,” AP reported. Scores of law enforcement had descended on the bridge Saturday after Ontario set a deadline for ending the protests, and officers negotiated for many to leave the bridge and remove their trucks before Sunday morning.

66833 00050

Still, some protesters remain steadfast. “We’re here for whatever it takes,” Denise Carlson told Fox News. “We’re staying right here.” Canadian police faced criticisms for not moving more quickly after the deadline expired. “At what point does the failure or

unwillingness of a police service to enforce a court ordered injunction cross over to contempt of court?” Canadian Senator Paula Simons tweeted. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, however, may have been one of the largest recipients of Canadian’s growing angst. A Maru poll released Saturday

found only 16% of Canadians would vote again for Trudeau, while 48% thought he wasn’t up to the prime minister’s job. This story was provided by The Center Square, a nonprofit dedicated to journalism.

Amazon exec moved from Washington to Texas ahead of capital gains tax By TED O’NEIL THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) – Dave Clark, Amazon’s worldwide consumer CEO, moved from the Seattle area to Dallas last fall, according to several media reports. The move came a few months before a new capital gains tax in Washington state took effect. The new law, which is being fought in court, began Jan. 1. If allowed to stand, the measure would levy a 7% capital gains tax on income above $250,000 per year from the sale of stocks and bonds. Mr. Clark and his wife sold their 8,500square-foot home in Medina, a Seattle suburb, for $14.5 million last September, according to Business Insider. That is more than twice the amount they paid for it four years ago. Mr. Clark has about $42 million worth of Amazon stock. Joan Eleazer, a Dallas real estate agent,

told Business Insider that Mr. Clark and his wife looked at several expensive homes she had listed before purchasing one in the Highland Park neighborhood of Dallas. Realtor.com reports that the median home price in Highland Park is $2.3 million. This is not the first such action by a wealthy executive. Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos sold nearly $8.6 billion of the company’s stock last year over several transactions. He also owns a home and a 30,000-acre ranch in Van Horn, Texas, southeast of El Paso, near his space company Blue Origin. In 2020, Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk moved from California to Texas, which reports say saved him billions of dollars under California’s capital gains tax. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella sold a little more than half of his shares in the company, worth nearly $285 million, late last November,

(The Center Square) – Truckers throughout the Midwest are watching closely to see what happens with the convoy in Canada protesting that country’s COVID-19 mandates. The protest with large trucks blocking major routes in Canada and parking in the streets of Ottawa has been ongoing since late January. Don Schaefer, executive vice president of Mid-West Truckers Association, said the ongoing “Freedom Convoy” is impacting logistics for the Midwest, especially for transporting automobile parts. “There are a lot of other goods that are manufactured in Canada that are brought down into the United States and vice versa,” Mr. Schaefer told The Center Square. “They’re our largest trading partner.” Truckers have been facing a variety of issues for the past two years under government COVID19 mitigations. A Canadian mandate that requires truckers crossing the border be vaccinated or quarantined sparked the protest. “I’m not sure this is the way and the means that they’re going to get the issues solved, but it is bringing it to the forefront, at least,” Mr. Schaefer said. With a major bridge to Canada being blocked, Mr. Schaefer said

Mid-West truckers are watching things closely to see where this goes. “If you like the way the Canadian government is handling it, that’s one thing, but a lot of people feel that the administration of the prime minister has gone beyond reach, and there’s better ways to solve the issue,” Mr. Schaefer said. Reports indicate Canadian law enforcement have seized personal diesel fuel cans from truckers. There’s also been issues with online fundraising efforts for the trucker protests being frozen. Online fundraiser through the site GoFundMe raised more than $10 million for the truckers but GoFundMe sparked backlash when they said the funds would be redirected to another charity because of controversy surrounding the trucking movement. After criticism and threats of investigations, GoFundMe later said it would return the money to the original donors. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer called on Canada to address the truck blockade on the Ambassador Bridge, citing harm to Michigan’s economy, including the automobile industry, agriculture, manufacturing and more. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security briefed local and state police across the country of possible trucker

a month before Washington’s capital gains tax began. He still owns some 830,000 shares worth about $280 million. A Microsoft spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal at the time that Ms. Nadella made the sale “for personal financial planning and diversification reasons.” A decision on the lawsuit against Washington’s tax is expected late next week, according to Douglas County Superior Court Judge Brian Huber. Opponents say the tax is unconstitutional because it does not tax income at a flat, uniform rate, and is essentially a graduated income tax since it charges one group of people with high incomes while exempting others. Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson, arguing in defense of the law, says it is an excise tax. No matter Judge Huber’s decision, the suit is expected to be appealed to the Washington State Supreme Court.

UCSB women’s basketball team defeats Cal Poly 74-30 By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The UCSB women’s basketball team enjoyed its largest win of the Big West season Saturday at the Thunderdome, never trailing in a 73-40 thrashing of Cal Poly. The Gauchos (13-7, 7-4) earned their first Blue-Green rivalry sweep since the 200809 season, winning their third straight game overall by double-digits. Junior center Ila Lane led the way at the home game with her conference-leading eighth double-double this year, posting 17 points (7/11 FG) and 11 rebounds. Junior guard Alexis Tucker (12 points) scored over 10 for the fourth time in five outings and senior Taylor Mole (10) also reached double-figures. It was a slow start out of the gates for the Gauchos, but behind one of their best crowds of the season, they picked up the energy and closed the final 2:24 of the first quarter on a 72 run.

UCSB led 15-10 after one despite its rough shooting start. That changed in the second period, when the home side shot 50 percent while holding Cal Poly to just 3-of-14 (21.4%) from the field. The Gaucho starters forced turnovers and contributed to an 11-0 spurt that included two threes from Mole. The Australian native also hit a driving shot in the final seconds of the half to send UCSB into halftime with a commanding 34-18 lead. Five minutes into the second half, Santa Barbara’s lead grew to 20 while Cal Poly’s offense was shut out. The Mustangs (3-15, 2-7) made just 2-of-16 (12.5%) attempts in the third. The Gauchos went to their bench down the stretch as the lead grew to as large as 37 points. Center Laurel Rockwood (6 points) made all three of her shots in the fourth and Kennedy Johnson (5), Tatyana Modawar (3) and Analilia Cabuena (3) all got in on the scoring as well. UCSB shot 66.7 percent as a team in the final period, one of its best quarters of the

season. UCSB topped its biggest conference win, which also came against Cal Poly, by 10 points, making it a 28-point average margin of victory over the Mustangs this year. The Gauchos forced 16 turnovers and were deadly in converting them into points, finishing with a 25-7 edge in points off turnovers. Since the start of Big West play, UCSB set highs in assists (20) and blocks (7) while turning it over its fewest times (12). Guards Danae Miller and Anya Choice had five and four assists, respectively. Rockwood became the fourth Gaucho this year with two blocks in a game. This week, UCSB returns to the road to face Cal State Fullerton at 7 p.m. Thursday and Long Beach State at 4 p.m. Saturday.

UCSB softball team finishes home tournament with a split By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

The UCSB softball team closed out its first home tournament of the season on Saturday, splitting its series with Utah State winning 9-6 and falling 8-7, before defeating North Dakota State 4-3 in the final game of the day.

UCSB VS. UTAH STATE After Friday’s game was suspended due to darkness, the Gauchos resumed play with a 9-6 lead heading into the top of the seventh inning. Sophomore pitcher Cameryn Snyder picked up where she left off in her first start of the season. The Gauchos gave up just one hit and displayed solid fielding for all three of their outs to close the game. Snyder finished with three strikeouts in the win. Sophomore shortstop Madelyn McNally led the team with three hits on four at bats with one RBI.

Senior right fielder Ally Nodohara had a team-high three RBI, all of which came on her first inning home run on Friday.

Snyder (2-0) pitched a full game, giving up just one run the rest of the way for her second straight win.

UCSB VS. NDSU

UCSB vs. UTAH ST.

In their final game of the day, the Gauchos used a big fourth inning to avenge Friday’s loss to the Bison. UCSB was held hitless through three innings, but would do all of its damage in the fourth. Senior second baseman Maci Fines scored first on a single up the middle from McNally. Junior catcher Teah Thies helped McNally tie it at 2-2 with an RBI single to right. With two outs on the board, junior Sam Denehy tallied her first RBI of the year with a double through the left side as pinch runner Chloe Stewart made it home from second to give the Gauchos the lead. Thies then scored on a wild pitch to make it a 4-2 game.

Santa Barbara fell to Utah State 8-7 after finishing up their postponed game where they got their first win of the season. After falling behind 4-0, the Gauchos opened their scoring with a three-run homer by Teah Thies in the bottom of the first. UCSB tied the game at 4-4 in the third inning, capitalizing on an Aggie error which allowed Donaldson to make it home from third. Unfortunately for the Gauchos, Utah State put up four more runs in the top of the fourth. Needing to make up some ground, Santa Barbara cut the lead in half with a two-RBI double by Nodohara in the fifth, scoring runs from McNally and Fines.

The Gauchos needed two runs in the seventh to extend the game and got one from Thies’ sacrifice fly to bring Donaldson home with two outs. However, UCSB came up just one run short. Michael Jorgenson writes about sports for UCSB. email: sports@newspress.com

SBCC loses to East Los Angeles in baseball By MICHAEL JORGENSON SBCC SPORTS WRITER

Hosting East Los Angeles on Saturday, the Santa Barbara City College baseball team held a 3-2 lead heading into the top of the fifth, but gave up 12 runs the rest of the way in a 14-5 defeat. The Vaqueros’ (4-3) day started with fireworks on the offensive side of things, with right fielder Caiden Matheny sending a two-run homer over the left field wall in the second and third baseman Gavin Haimovitz solo homering to left in the fourth. On both occasions, SBCC took a one-run lead. However, momentum would swing the Huskies’ (3-5) way in the top of the fifth, when they got eight runners on base in total and scored six times. SBCC trailed 9-3 heading into the bottom of the seventh. The Vaqueros got out to a promising start to their half of the inning, as Justin Deal hit a single up the middle and Owen Crevelt doubled to left center. Max Porter hit a sacrifice fly into deep center field

to bring Deal home, and a Gabe Baldavino double to left center scored a run from Crevelt to make it 9-5. Unfortunately for the Vaqueros, that was the last time they would scratch, and East LA put the icing on the cake with five more runs over the final two innings. Haimovitz led his team with two hits and two runs on three at bats. In all, SBCC had nine hits, compared to 12 for the Huskies. Santa Barbara leaned on eight different pitchers, ending the day with 12 strikeouts, just one shy of a season-high. Right hander Jake McBride set a personal-best with six. On Tuesday, SBCC returns to Pershing Park to host West LA at 2 p.m. Michael Jorgenson works in communications/media relations at Santa Barbara City College. email: sports@newspress.com

Sunshine Invitational lives up to its name at Westmont By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

Westmont Men’s and Women’s Track and Field was back in action on Saturday for the Sunshine Invitational, where they once again hosted the event. The Sunshine Invitational’s name has prompted the club to laugh in years past because the event regularly takes place on rainy days in February. In this case however, the meet’s name represented the Santa Barbara conditions in a justifiable manner, as the

temperature reached as high as 84 degrees without a cloud in the sky above Thorrington Field at the Montecito campus. The first Warrior to shine was Simeon Michelson, who set a new personal record in the 3000 meter race walk with a time of 17:59.56. While the time did not reach automatic or provisional standards, Michelson’s time is one of the 16-best in the NAIA this season, meaning he has a chance to compete at Indoor Nationals. “I was mostly focused on improving my technique today, after being disqualified last time,”

explained Michelson. “I really wanted to set a new PR at the mile mark, which I was able to do, and that is probably where I trimmed off the bulk of my time.” Michelson will compete in the race walk once more before the nationals’ qualifiers are set, when the Warriors compete in the Soka Indoor Invitational next Saturday. In order to qualify via provisional standard, Michelson will have to remain in the top-16 best times. Currently, Michelson has a halfsecond lead for the 16th-best slot. Please see TRACK on A4

Bleacher report. Donald, who has been known as the best player in the league, excelled in the second half, and is likely to consider retiring. “I wanted it so bad. I dreamed of this man…God is great. I don’t know what to say” said Donald in a post-game interview. “I’m so proud of this team. There are so many players on this team that deserve this. It’s up and down, it’s tough. Our defense played outstanding,” said Stafford in post-game interviews. “I think the way we pull for each other. We work together every single day,” said Stafford, when asked what makes the LA Rams special.

The halftime show was predicted to be the greatest halftime show of all time. It included Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Mary J. Bilge. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg kicked off the halftime show, with a duo performance. They were followed by Kendrick Lamar’s performance, beginning with him suspended upside down. Lamar’s performance transitioned to Mary J. Blige. Blige was followed by a “Dre Day” number performed by Snoop Dog. Eminem followed the performance ahead of Dr. Dre’s piano performance. Dr. Dre’s piano solo served as the transition point to a group performance by Blige, Eminem, Lamar, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog as the finale of the halftime show. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Sokhela sets school record in 1,000-meter run TRACK

Continued from Page A3 The next Warriors to qualify for Indoor Nationals were both the Men’s and Women’s 4000 meter Distance Medley Relay teams, who posted automatic qualifying times. The men’s team, which featured Zola Sokhela, Adam King, Dylan Lambert, and Jack Vanden Heuvel, completed the event in 10:11.40. The men’s mark was well ahead of the NAIA A-Standard of 10:15.62. The women’s team that consisted of Anneline Breytenbach, Abigail Hundley, Kari Anema, and Sienna Keck, finished the relay in 12:19.50. “So far this season, we’d only done our individual events, so it was really fun to get to do a relay together,” noted Breytenbach.

“From training together, to getting to compete together today, there was so much energy to feed off of.” Another Warrior to earn a national qualifying mark was Abby Rumohr, who reached the provisional standard in women’s pole vault when she cleared 3.42 meters. Abigail Hundley was the next Warrior to reach the B-Standard, when she completed the mile in 5:12.73. The highlight of the day was when a quartet of Warriors made headlines in the men’s 1000 meter run. Sokhela, Vanden Heuvel, King, and Jason Peterson all earned automatic qualification into indoor nationals. Not only that, but each of the four men came in ahead of the previous Westmont record, a time of 2:28.94. Sokhela, who now holds the school record in the 1000, led the pack with a time of 2:25.74.

Then, Vanden Heuvel crossed the finish line with a time of 2:27.90, and King finished in 2:27.91. Peterson capped off the legendary showing for the Warriors with a time of 2:28.07. The final national qualifiers of the day for the Warriors were Breytenbach and Anema, who followed up their DMR performance by earning B-Standard times in the 3000 meter run. The teammates came in neck-and-neck with times of 10:22.30 and 10:22.31. Next Saturday’s Soka Invitational will be the final opportunity for members of the team to qualify for Indoor Nationals. The NAIA Indoor National Championships begin on March 3 in Brookings, South Dakota. Jacob Norling is the sports information assistant at Westmont College. email: sports@newspress.com

Necessary navigator Karen Jorgensen fulfills vital role at Breast Cancer Resource Center By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

As the new cancer navigator and program coordinator at the Breast Cancer Resource Center in Santa Barbara, Karen Jorgensen describes her position as “equal parts translator, GPS and coach. “For someone who is newly diagnosed with breast cancer, being able to make informed decisions relies heavily on understanding the medical terminology, and as a translator, I help patients understand this new language,” she said. “A cancer diagnosis also comes with an often-overwhelming schedule of appointments, tests and tasks to complete. I can be the GPS who helps navigate the complex healthcare system. As a coach, my goal is to help patients/ clients feel fully supported in their cancer journey.” Ms. Jorgensen came to the BCRC with an impressive background: a bachelor’s of science degree in nursing from Rush University College of Nursing in Chicago, registered nurse, breast oncology nurse, certified patient navigator and women’s health advocate. “Like so many things in my life, the opportunity to work with breast cancer patients just kind of presented itself,” said Ms. Jorgensen. “I had been working in healthcare as an educator and advocate for almost 10 years before obtaining my BSN and becoming a registered nurse, and initially my focus was women’s health in obstetrics and gynecology,” “In 2010, a former colleague of mine took a position at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, where they needed a breast oncology nurse coordinator, and she asked me if I’d be interested in joining the practice. Although I had no previous professional oncology experience, I had multiple relatives who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, and I knew I wanted to learn as much about it as I could, so I took the leap and immediately knew I had made the right decision.” Cancer navigators were still a relatively new concept at the time. The American Cancer Society launched its first Patient Navigator Program in 2005. Most important in her list of goals at BCRC is making clients feel supported and cared for “whenever they reach out to us — whether it’s by phone or in person, whether they need someone to talk to, or just a quiet place to come and sit and know they are not alone. I want to be a familiar face that is here to provide education and answer questions, ease anxiety and remove barriers that might impede care.” As program coordinator, Ms. Jorgensen looks forward to hearing from clients and local healthcare providers about new programs or offerings they’d find useful. “My hope is to continue to make connections with healthcare providers in the community to help them recognize that the BCRC can serve as a vital part of the care team,” she said. Working with cancer patients has influenced her personal outlook and life. “I would say that it’s made me more appreciative of life and has taught me how to find joy in the simple things. That may sound cliché, but it really is true — cancer is the great equalizer in that it can affect any one of us, whether we are young, old, rich, poor. It doesn’t discriminate. I’ve worked with patients from all walks of life, and the experience has really helped me accept the fact that there are just some things in life that despite our best efforts

are not within our control,” Ms. Jorgensen said. “This was an important lesson for me because I used to believe just the opposite and was always incredibly hard on myself for everything. I eventually realized that my behavior stemmed from a sort of magical thinking that I could protect myself from harm if I did everything perfectly, which, of course, is not a healthy nor realistic expectation of oneself. “I’ve always been a compassionate person and have no trouble being patient and kind with others, but working in oncology has given me the gift of learning how to finally be compassionate toward myself

as well, which I am incredibly grateful for! My patients have taught me that there truly is value in being kind and of being able to sit quietly with someone who is hurting and just allow them to ‘be’ without trying to ‘fix’ everything.” An avid reader in her spare time, Ms. Jorgensen said a recent book that had a profound impact on her was “The Choice: Embrace the Possible,” a memoir by clinical psychologist and Holocaust survivor Dr. Edith Eger, who endured unspeakable suffering at a young age in Auschwitz. “Despite her early experiences, her story is really one of inspiration and hope rather than sorrow, a journey through

darkness into a place of light and strength that illustrates the tremendous power we all have inside ourselves to change how we respond to trauma by changing our thoughts. “She notes that ‘Suffering is universal; victimhood is optional,’ but also cautions readers not to discount their own pain or compare themselves to others as they work through their trauma experience, as ‘there is no hierarchy when it comes to suffering.’ “I first discovered Dr. Eger’s work through one of my favorite podcasts: Brené Brown’s ‘Unlocking Us,’ where Brené and Dr. Eger took a deeper dive into

the book to explore ‘the power of choosing how we see ourselves and how we resist the labels that people put on us’ and encourages listeners to change the thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping them imprisoned in the past. “I loved this podcast episode so much that I listened to it twice, and then immediately bought Dr. Eger’s book, which I then feverishly filled with highlights and margin notes.They’re both that good.” When asked about some of her favorite things about living in Santa Barbara, she said, “What’s not to love about living here? I grew up in upstate New York,

lived for many years in Chicago and then eventually landed in Boston before finally making my way to Santa Barbara. “What do the first three places have in common? Snow and freezing temperatures! After one-too-many times of having to dig my car out of a snowbank in the dark with minus-20-degree wind chills, I made it my mission to move someplace where the air didn’t hurt my face. “Thankfully, the stars aligned in my favor. I was recruited for a job here in 2013 and have been pinching myself in disbelief and gratitude ever since.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Hampers represents proud history of hard-working hotel staffs

Registration open for TOTAL Teen Conference

.P. sends me a photo of a huge linen hamper at 4 feet by 5 feet 4 inches of woven willow, which indicates a European origin. These beasts were seen in hotel corridors in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Chambermaids loaded them with dirty towels, sheets, tablecloths, rugs, etc., in the mornings. They are the cousins of the 21st century hotel corridor cart! I must say, J.P., this hamper brings back memories for me. When I was in my early 30s and was a new mom, I worked in theater set design and had an exchange with another designer from Russia. I took her job for a season in Moscow, and she took mine in California. My son and I stayed at the Hotel Budapest. In the evenings when I had to monitor the performance, the cleaning ladies would occupy my little son by scooting him around the hotel corridors through the Hotel Budapest in one of these huge wicker hampers mounted on wheels. I can see him today on a pile of dirty sheets, and the two babushkas pushing the hamper. When I arrived back at the hotel, I would find my son asleep on the linens in such a hamper in the tearoom where the babushkas had a samovar constantly brewing. J.P.’s hamper also originates from an old hotel. I bet it was French, as many extant are. They can sell for $700 to $1,500 to collectors of old wicker. Thus, hampers were the beginning

of the journey of hotel laundry, where whole roomfuls of linen throughout an hotel were loaded in such hampers. J.P.’s hamper has hand-forged wroughtiron hinges and latches; I know they are hand hammered because they are asymmetrical, as opposed to having been mold “cast.” The basket is darkened aged willow, never painted. (Try stripping paint off of wicker!) Therefore, it is a lovely white elephant piece of folk art. Some of these are found with the initials of the hotel emblazoned. Some do not have lids, but instead have a bumper of padded fabric to protect hotel walls, some have wicker handles, some rope handles. J,P.’s has leather handles. Some had two wheels on the bottom. The hamper could be levered to roll. (That was how my little son got around the Hotel Budapest!) But what was the journey of the linen inside these hampers in a late 19thcentury hotel? ‘Firstly, white linen was soaked overnight. Staff would soap the linen, then boil, rinse, wring and or mangle, then dry (air dry; no such a thing as a dryer existed), then starch, then iron. A mangle was necessary, of course, and in the winter months, usually a hotel had a drying room with hoists to raise the linens to air dry. Long bars were loaded with linen and pulled up in rows and rows. Usually, this room was close to the boiler room of a big hotel.

Now if just reading the process, you are exhausted, and thankful for your electric washer and dryer, you should know that linen workers were all extraordinarily strong people. Laundry workers were either very robust women, called “washerwomen,” or hefty men, called “fullones,” and this is because the washing machine itself in such a hotel in those days was a hand cranked machine. The machine was a huge tub that required a stove close by because water was heated and poured (no water heater in the washing machine in those days). These huge tubs were fitted inside with paddles upon rods that were cranked by hand. Think of the friction 100 sheets in one tub would cause — and how strong these workers had to be. Most hotels had an in house laundry, but, in New York City, as Chinese immigrants opened commercial laundries, some hotels outsourced the linen. But it was still a long arduous process, and the weight of soiled linen and the labor involved was daunting. Every morning, chambermaids collected massive loads of dirty towels, sheets, tablecloths, and sometimes uniforms in J.P.’s hamper. And some hampers were used to collect guest’s clothing, which was hand laundered. By the way, if today you stay in a classy hotel, there is often a laundry service such as this for your garments, but the bill will be equal to the room tariff, I bet. The value of J.P.’s hamper is $700, and she writes that she has recently washed and restored it with Boiled linseed oil, which is the perfect “drink” for such a

Home needed for small dog with big heart By KATHERINE ZEHNDER NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Like most puppies, 1-year-old Lily is playful and energetic. But unlike most dogs, she has a medical condition that requires her to find a very special home. The 1-year-old female Whippet mix has an enlarged heart. Thanks to a donor-supported TLC fund at Santa Barbara Humane, veterinary staff consulted with a cardiologist and discovered that Lily will need medication for the rest of her life and a cautious eye from a family who understands her medical condition. Lily’s heart is also big in an emotional sense. She loves everybody.

“Lily is a very sweet girl. She’s a total lapdog who loves to give kisses and seems to love everyone she meets, including other dogs,” said Naomi Ramirez, a shelter supervisor at Santa Barbara Humane’s Santa Maria campus, who took Lily in while awaiting recommendations from the cardiologist. Lily previously lived in a home where she bonded with kids of all ages and even lived with kids of the ages of 2, 5, 7 and 9. She is house-broken and enjoys sleeping on her dog bed at night. She is only 22 pounds and enjoys the beach, small hikes, and is ready to share her love with your family. For interested adopters, Santa Barbara Humane’s chief

veterinary officer, Dr. Katie Marrie, emphasizes that Lily will need an extra special adopter who can provide the love and additional medical care that Lily requires. “Lily does have a significant heart condition and requires her to be on three medications for the rest of her life and to see a cardiologist annually,” Dr. Marrie said. “We want adopters

to understand the commitment required when adopting a dog like Lily. But we also want them

to know how wonderful and sweet Lily is. It would be amazing if she could find her home this

Valentine’s Day,” said Dr. Marrie. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

Diversions HOROSCOPE s PUZZLES

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Aries: A chance to travel, perhaps for business purposes, could present itself to you today, Aries. This might require some temporary adjustments in your personal life, but don’t let this stop you. You’ll want to make the most of whatever new opportunities come your way at this time. Taurus: Someone in the know could come to you today with opportunities for increasing your income, Taurus, perhaps involving investments of time or other resources in new business enterprises. These possibilities are worthy of consideration, yet you need to be particularly businesslike and consider all the ins and outs and pros and cons before committing to anything. Gemini: If you’ve been thinking about starting a new business partnership, Gemini, this is the day to take some positive action toward that end. Any new business enterprises started today, particularly involving partnerships, show a lot of promise for success. This might make a profound difference in the course of your life. Cancer: Some rather boring and mundane tasks, perhaps involving paperwork, could take up much of your time today, Cancer. You could get easily distracted and be tempted to set it aside and do something more interesting, but don’t fall into this trap. Leo: New enterprises that you’ve worked to perfect for a long time, perhaps involving writing, speaking, or publishing, might pay off today, Leo. Success definitely appears to be in the wind, and those in authority could be more than impressed with what you’ve been trying to achieve. Virgo: Some paperwork involving business enterprises could be executed today, Virgo, possibly in your home. This might be a new and unexpected development. It could have you feeling a bit disoriented, but try to pull yourself together and make the most of it. Whatever the opportunity, all signs say that it might prove quite successful, so don’t let it pass you by. Libra: Success in business, perhaps involving writing or speaking, might come your way today, Libra. Paperwork, such as contracts, could take up a lot of your time. You might also have to

spend a lot of time on the phone or in the car. All this activity could have you feeling a bit frazzled. Scorpio: You’ve worked hard to promote your business interests, Scorpio, and today it might pay off. Money, or contracts promising it, could come your way, as well as new opportunities to pursue success, perhaps in writing, teaching, or publishing. Friends and family members should be as excited as you are, and perhaps you’ll want to have a celebration of some sort. Relax for a while and enjoy your evening. Capricorn: Today your level of imagination and intuition is especially high, Capricorn. Trust your heart today, especially where new projects and money are concerned. Insights may appear to knock at the doors of your conscious mind, yet it might take some deep thought to grasp their significance. Don’t try to work it out through logic; it’s best to let it all come to you. Sagittarius: Your optimism and enthusiasm should be very high today, Sagittarius. Business and partnerships have been proving both satisfying and profitable lately, and you could receive information today about new doors that could unexpectedly open up for you. You’ve worked hard, supposedly without results, for a long time, and now it seems like everything’s happening at once. Aquarius: This should be a very busy day for you, Aquarius, as communications involving business matters could take up much of your time. These could concern your own goals or those of a friend or a group with which you’re affiliated. Whatever it is, you should feel a strong sense of elation and optimism. Success is definitely in the wind. However, try not to exhaust yourself. Pisces: Business matters take a sudden turn for the better, Pisces. Paperwork may need to be executed. A new sense of selfconfidence contributes to these developments, and the more good things that happen to you, the more confident you’ll feel. Your physical appearance could assume more importance in your mind than usual, since you’ll want the way you look to match the way you feel inside. Buy some new clothes and keep working. The sky’s the limit.

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.

UCSB women’s water polo loses to USC, Long Beach State By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

SAN DIEGO — Facing top competition on the opening day of the Triton Invitational on Saturday, the No. 16 UCSB women’s water polo team fell to No. 1 USC, 10-4, and No. 13 Long Beach State, 11-8. Leigh Lyter and Annie Kuester both had three goals on the day, while Nina Munson and Sarah Owens both scored twice. Caitlyn Snyder tallied three assists and matched Lyter with three drawn exclusions.

UCSB VS. USC Facing the top ranked team in the nation, the Gauchos (7-4) fell behind 2-0 in the first five minutes. Owens put away her first of two goals in the game at the 2:26 mark of the opening quarter to cut the USC lead to 2-1. The Trojans (6-0) added two more goals in the first and struck on their opening

possession of the second frame to go up 5-1. With 3:07 to go in the half, Lyter scored her first of the day, but USC answered with a 3-0 run heading into halftime. Taylor McEvilly recorded three saves and two steals in the first half before being relieved by fellow freshman goalkeeper Casey Coppock for the final 16 minutes. Coppock would allow just two goals the rest of the way, stopping five shots and snagging one steal. Owens and Munson scored the final two goals of the game to give the final scoreline of 10-4. Owens clinched her third multi-goal performance of the season with 23 seconds to go in the third.

UCSB VS. LONG BEACH STATE Hours later, the Gauchos returned to action against No. 13 Long Beach State. Kuester would notch her third hat trick of the year, but it wasn’t enough for UCSB to overcome an 8-3 third quarter deficit.

The Beach (4-4) led 4-1 through one quarter of play. Center defender Drew Halvorson provided UCSB’s lone goal in the opening frame, finding the back of the net for the third time in four outings. Snyder and Kuester cut LBSU’s lead in half with second quarter goals to make it 5-3, but the Beach took its largest lead of the day with a 3-0 run extending midway into the third quarter. Nina Munson and Kuester both scored in the third and Lyter added two more goals in the fourth, but UCSB wasn’t able to get within fewer than three goals the rest of the way. Redshirt junior goalkeeper Madison Button (5-2) played the whole game, tying a seasonhigh with six saves. Michael Jorgenson writes about sports for UCSB. email: sports@newspress.com.

Westmont falls in overtime to Life Pacific in men’s basketball By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

In their final home game of the season on Saturday night, the Westmont men’s basketball team (14-12, 4-12 GSAC) could not overcome their late-game woes and fell to Life Pacific (7-16, 4-12 GSAC) 80-78. Life Pacific got out to a lead at the end of the first half that left Westmont chasing the roadWarriors well into the second. While Westmont was able to catch the visitors down the stretch, the home-Warriors squandered a handful of opportunities to win in the final moments of both regulation and overtime. When the game finally reached overtime, Life Pacific was able to cap off their magical night. Overall, the road-Warriors made 15 of 30 shots from three-point range in their first-ever win over Westmont (not counting a COVID19 forfeit earlier this season). Nate Meithof led Westmont with 21 points, while Jared Brown and Jalen Townsell contributed with 17 points each. Tyler Austin led the club with eight rebounds, while Brown led the team with three assists. In the first half, Life’s hot shooting from beyond the arc briefly gave the club an early advantage at 12-9. Then, a jumper from Ajay Singh and a 3-pointer from Jared Brown put the home team up 14-12.

Life tied the game momentarily at 14, but after Brown recorded a pair of free throws to put Westmont up 16-14, the homeWarriors led for the next six minutes. Following a 25-25 tie with 7:30 left in the frame, Life Pacific once again got the hot hand from deep, and hit back-to-back threes to take a 33-27 advantage. On the following trip down the court, Life got an offensive rebound leading to a layup to take a 35-27 lead, causing Boucher to call timeout at the 5:16 mark. Westmont clawed at the lead for the remainder of the half, and had multiple opportunities to reclaim the lead in the final minute, but the road-Warriors held on to carry a 41-40 lead going into halftime. The first portion of the second half, Westmont was slow to get going, scoring only eight points in the first 7:30. Meithof took the lid off the basket when he hit a 3-pointer with 12:34 left to play, pulling the club within two. Then, with 11:07 to play, Meithof hit a jumper to tie things at 53. Once again, however, Life Pacific answered Westmont’s run with one of their. The road club followed up Meithof’s equalizer with a 9-3 run to take a 62-56 lead with under eight minutes remaining. Another mid-range shot from Meithof followed by a jumper and a three from Singh closed the gap, and gave the home-Warriors a 63-

62 lead with 6:08 to play. It was Westmont’s first lead of the second half. The lead was short-lived as Life Pacific answered with a layup and a free throw of their own to take a 65-63 lead with 3:44 to play. Following a timeout, Meithof quickly tied the game at 65. Unfortunately for Westmont, Life Pacific responded with their 12th and 13th 3-pointers of the night, giving the road-Warriors a 71-65 lead with 2:25 to play. On Westmont’s next two possessions, Brown willed himself to convert a pair of contested layups to make it a one possession game. Then, after their third consecutive stop, Cly Griffith Jr. finally woke up the home crowd with a game-tying layup. With under a minute to play, Westmont collected a pair of offensive rebounds, and called a timeout with 41 seconds to play. Out of the timeout, Westmont let the possession slip through their fingers, as Life Pacific caused a shot clock violation. With 19.2 seconds to play, the road team called timeout to draw up a potential game-winning shot. However, Westmont played lockdown defense, surrendering only an errant layup attempt that sent the game to overtime. The clubs traded blows for the first few minutes of overtime, with the contest remaining a one possession game down to the final minute. Then, with 58.1 seconds to

play, Life Pacific had possession and called timeout leading 78-76. With 36.6 seconds to play, Westmont got a much-needed stop, and Jalen Townsell collected the rebound before being fouled. Townsell got both free throws to fall, tying the game at 78. With 11.3 seconds to play, Life’s Austin Cook was fouled on a borderline travel. Regardless, Cook put the road team up 8078 when he converted both free throws. Then, with two seconds to play, Meithof pulled up to take a 3pointer and could not get the shot to fall. After fouling Life Pacific, Ethan Galang missed the first of a one-and-one, giving the Warriors one final chance with 1.8 seconds. Out of a timeout, the inbound pass was swatted away by the road club and never reached the hands of a Westmont player. The ball flew into no-man’s land as time expired, and Westmont once again was left with the bitter taste of a last-second defeat. The club begins their final road trip of the regular season on Thursday, when they take on Menlo at 7:30 p.m. On February 23, Westmont will play in the first round of the GSAC Tournament in Fullerton.

Westmont women’s tennis team victorious over Redlands By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT SPORTS WRITER

REDLANDS — Westmont Women’s Tennis (1-4) recorded a thrilling come-from-behind victory Saturday to defeat NCAA Div. III Redlands by a score of 5-4. Cade Pierson, the former NAIA AllAmerican for the Warriors, earned her first win as associate head coach. “For most of my career, I was a grinder and comeback player,” said Pierson, “so, it’s fitting that my first win as a coach was done in the same fashion. “Matches like today’s are what makes college tennis so special and they’re one of the big reasons I chose to coach. We’ve had so many recent close losses and I’m really happy to see us apply what we’ve learned from those matches to outlast our opponents and comeback to take the win. “I feel like this is a big breakthrough for us this season.” In doubles play, the Bulldogs jumped out a 2-0 lead against the Warriors when the home team took both matches on courts one and two. On court one, Kendall Bolock and Gabby Rockwood made quick work of Rachal Jackson and Emily Peterson in an 8-1 win. On court two, Christine Hemry and Olivia Madarang battled well against Kiana Brady and Lexi Lehman, but the Bulldogs prevailed by a score of 8-6. Westmont avoided the doubles sweep on court three, where Francesca Aguirre and Sophia Ostovany earned Westmont’s first point with an 8-7 (6) win over Abby Nash and Madison Sherwood. “In doubles, we competed well across the board,” noted Pierson. “Like yesterday, we took some quick leads and navigated our way through shifts in momentum as our opponents raised their level. Court three did a really good job of taking control of momentum at the end

“I’m really proud of the energy we played with in singles, especially after the long weekend of competition. I think our fitness stood out and gave us the upper hand today. On every court we maintained composure and a positive mindset.” Cade Pierson, associate head coach to take the match. Going into singles, I acknowledged the exhaustion of the long weekend and the frustration of losing doubles so closely once again. I came down hard on them in regards to their energy and attitude, reminding them that despite the heat and exhaustion, we have business to take care of in singles.” Bolock defeated Hemry 6-1, 6-1, on court four to open up singles play, giving the Bulldogs a 3-1 lead. However, the resilient Warriors surrendered only one more point to the home team. Westmont tied things up at three following 6-2, 6-3 win by Peterson on court one, and a 6-2, 6-2 victory by Ostovany on court six. Then, following the 3-3 tie, the Warriors took two of the final three matches to earn the win. Redlands’ final win came on court five where Nash bested Madarang 6-2, 1-6, 6-0. Aguirre put the Warriors on the brink of victory with a 6-3, 7-6 (2) win on court three, setting the stage for an epic court one battle to decide the match. Jackson heroically came out on top 5-7, 64, 6-3 against Rockwood, and the Warriors officially tallied their first win of the season. “I’m really proud of the energy we played

with in singles, especially after the long weekend of competition,” said Pierson. “I think our fitness stood out and gave us the upper hand today. On every court we maintained composure and a positive mindset. “Emily and Sophia both won in straight sets. Their matches both required a lot of discipline in shot selection and point construction. Francesca and Rachal again had standout wins today. After a long day yesterday Francesca had another grind and played poised, patient, and well-constructed tennis. Ultimately her fitness and discipline won her the match. “Rachal had a thrilling three-set victory over her opponent by using her fitness and consistency to her advantage. After not hitting the ball the way in the first set, she regained her composure and focused on her strengths. Ultimately, her fitness gave her the edge in her match.” On Saturday, February 19, the Warriors return to action when they head south to take on Concordia Irvine at 10:00 a.m. Jacob Norling is the sports information assistant at Westmont College. email: sports@newspress.com
