(The Center Square) — California payrolls added 47,500 nonfarm workers in November compared with October’s 96,800 new hires, according to the state Employment Development Department. November’s unemployment rate of 6.9% improved from October’s 7.3%. The November data does not reflect the spread of the omicron COVID-19 variant in the Golden State. California has been digging out of a deep trough of job losses from early 2020. According to the state’s Employment Development Department, “the state has now regained 1,889,000, or nearly 70 percent, of the 2,714,800 jobs that were lost in March and April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.” California’s unemployment rate spiked from 4.3% to 16% after Gov. Gavin Newsom closed schools and businesses to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Professional and business services job growth led the way with 18,800 jobs added in November after October’s 39,500 new hires. Construction was the only one of the 11 industry sectors to lose employment in November, shedding 1,700 jobs because of decreases in specialty trade contractors, according to the EDD. California’s 58 counties had uneven jobless rates in November. In the San Francisco
Bay area, Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo counties had unemployment rates of 2.9%, 3.3% and 3.1%, respectively, in November. Meanwhile, Imperial County near San Diego reported a 15.5% unemployment rate. More than 60 miles north of Sacramento, Colusa County had a jobless rate of 10.3%. Los Angeles County, with the state’s biggest labor force of 5 million, had a jobless rate of 7.1% in November. Gov. Newsom hit an upbeat note after the release of November employment data. “Since February, California has created nearly 1 million jobs, an unprecedented achievement for the state’s economic recovery,” Gov. Newsom said in a statement. “While the state continues to see a robust recovery, creating nearly 22 percent of the nation’s jobs in November and the largest unemployment rate decrease since February, there’s still more work to be done getting folks back to work and supporting those hardest-hit by the pandemic.” Despite the creation of 1 million new jobs since February, there were 1 million unemployed Californians in November. According to the EDD, there were “434,676 people certifying for Unemployment Insurance benefits during the November 2021 sample week. That compares to 463,257 people in October and 1,278,220 people in November 2020.”

UCSB pulls off successful comeback against Sacramento State in women’s basketball By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER
The UCSB women’s basketball team flexed its resilience against Sacramento State on Saturday at the Thunderdome, coming back from an 11-point deficit to defeat the Hornets 66-58. Junior guard Alexis Tucker led the charge with her best game yet this season, staying aggressive throughout on her way to scoring a season-high 21 points (7-11 FG) from all over the court. The Gauchos (5-3) improved to a perfect 3-0 mark in the month of December while dropping the Hornets to 4-7 overall. The opening 20 minutes provided one of the closest halves you could ever see. Neither team held a lead of more than three points until the last two minutes before halftime, and there were 13 lead changes. Even when the Hornets finally took the first fivepoint lead of the game, the Gauchos answered with a three-point play by Kennedy Johnson, who strode through the lane to finish a tough layup plus one. Alexis Tucker dropped a couple of absolute highlights, including a dazzling spin into a lefty finish in transition as well as a stop-on-a-dime pull-up jumper. She led the team with seven points as UCSB trailed 29-27 heading into the break. Sac State pounced on UCSB out of halftime, hitting a three on its first possession to start a 12-3 run. The Hornets took their first double-digit lead, 41-30, with 5:02 remaining in the third. The Gauchos woke up and pulled back within two thanks to a quick 9-0 run, bookended by a jumper and two free throws by junior forward Tatyana Modawar. Trailing by five to start the fourth, UCSB came out on fire to go on the game’s decisive run. Tucker led the way, continuing to have her best game of the
season with five points right away on a three and a strong attack to the basket. The Gauchos scored four more times before the Hornets could find a response, taking their largest lead, 55-47, on a jumper from junior center Ila Lane at the 5:30 mark as they opened the period with 13 unanswered points. That made it a 25-6 extended run over a span of less than 10 minutes. UCSB would lead by as many as 12 points before it was all over. During Saturday’s game, the Gauchos erased a doubledigit deficit for the first time in a win this season. First-year Gaucho Alexis Tucker set a new career-high with 21 points. She joins Lane and Megan Anderson as the only Gauchos with 20-point games this year. Santa Barbara’s defense was huge down the stretch, particularly in the fourth when the Gauchos outscored the Hornets 24-11. Lane and Tucker led all players with three steals apiece. Lane also tied a season-high with three blocks for the second straight outing. Senior point guard Danae Miller was UCSB’s only other double-digit scorer with 11 points and three assists. She has now reached double-figures in three straight games. “We knew going into the locker room, that’s not how we wanted to play. We can do better,” Coach Danae Miller said. “We were fired up and ready to come out after halftime to just do the best that we could and let them know that we are a team to be reckoned with. I think we did a great job just answering, having more energy, and being more motivated to take care of business.” The Gauchos will end their non-conference schedule when they go to face San Jose State Tuesday at 4 p.m. Michael Jorgenson writes sports stories for UCSB. email: sports@newspress.com
SBCC wins women’s basketball games By MICHAEL JORGENSON SBCC SPORTS WRITER
The Santa Barbara City College women’s basketball team went undefeated in two games at the El Camino Crossover in Torrance, setting a seasonhigh in points to defeat Santa Ana 70-56 on Friday before taking down Riverside 63-46 in its largest win of the year on Saturday. With their second two-game win streak of the season, the Vaqueros are now 5-9 overall.
SBCC VS. SANTA ANA Santa Barbara had perhaps its best start to a game all year against Santa Ana on Friday, making five of its first six shots to jump out to a 12-0 lead a little over three minutes in. However, the Dons (6-6) answered with a 10-0 run of their own and eventually took a 16-14 lead into the second quarter. The Vaqueros had their highest scoring quarter of the day in the second, when they shot 52.9 percent from the field and outscored Santa Ana 23-16. SBCC’s defense held the Dons to just nine points in the third quarter, and the Vaqueros again dropped 20 points in the fourth to clinch their second-largest win to that point, as well as a new season-high of 70 points. Forward Trinity Scott led the way with a seasonhigh 20 points (7-18 FG), thanks to hitting 5-of-11 (45.4%) three-pointers, the most in a game for the Vaqueros this year. Guard Katrina Regalado and forward Asia Kirven
both shot an efficient 7-for-11 (63.6%) from the field, going for 17 and 14 points, respectively. Regalado also added a Vaquero season-best eight steals to go along with eight rebounds and four assists.
SBCC VS. Riverside For the second straight game, the Vaqueros trailed after one, but ended up with a double-digit victory. Riverside shot 50 percent in the opening period, but was held to just 33.3 percent (12-36 FG) the rest of the way. The Tigers (5-6) were also forced into 29 turnovers by the SBCC defense. Guard/forward Isabella Jensen Williams tallied a season-high five steals. Kirven had another standout day on the offensive end, posting a team-best 15 points (6-11 FG). Regalado and Jensen Williams added 13 points each. While the SBCC offense was held under 40 percent shooting in each of its first nine games, the Vaqueros have now shot at least 40 percent in four of their last five. They connected on 40.7 percent of their field goals as a team against the Tigers, and were a nearperfect 10-for-11 (90.9%) from the free throw line. SBCC has some time off before resuming play against Bakersfield at 4 p.m. Dec. 30 at 4:00 p.m. That will be the Vaqueros’ final game prior to conference play.
The Dos Pueblos girls soccer team, which is known for its spirit and determination on the field, lost a couple games Saturday. One loss was to Moorpark, which defeated the Chargers 3-0. “Our girls continued to fight hard, but we’re unable to get a goal today,” Coach Ivan Luna said Saturday. “We connected well in the midfield to work the ball forward and the balls put in behind the lines to our forward were great. We are working on finding our wings to get some crosses into the box,” Luna told the News-Press in an email. Dos Pueblos also was unable to score against Saugus, which won 3-0. “Our girls came out and fought hard after a long week, but we played a very organized and gritty Saugus team,” Luna said. “We created a couple opportunities but could not capitalize in front of goal. Our girls will continue to fight every game until the whistle blows, and we are improving every game. “A shout out to Sophia Riley, who came in and played left back due to various injuries to our defense,” Luna said. “Also, we wish a speedy recovery to Jada

SAN MARCOS BEATS FOOTHILL The Santa Marcos girls water polo team defeated Foothill High School 11-6 Saturday. The Royals’ Kate Meyer made four goals, and Ava Stryker and Brooke Ingram each had two. Goalie Elaia Hamilton had 13 blocks in the cage. “Today was a great day for San Marcos water polo,” Coach Chuckie Roth told the NewsPress in an email Saturday. “We had a great Division 1 battle with Foothill. Kate Meyer had a great outing . “Junior Regan McEacheon was great at center and created many opportunities for the team,” Roth said. The Royals also held their alumni game Saturday, with more than 20 alumni returning to play. San Marcos, which is 9-2 this season, plays next in the Holiday Cup on Dec. 29 and 30.
DOS PUEBLOS LOSES TO ST. JOHN BOSCO St. John Bosco defeated the Dos Pueblos boys basketball team 8033 Saturday. “Today we ran into a very good
defensive team,” Dos Pueblos Coach Joe Zamora told the NewsPress about the away game. “We had some trouble getting into our offense and defending them in the post. “I was proud of the effort and competitive attitude throughout the game,” Zamora said in an email. “It was a good experience for us as we were able to play against a much bigger team. This will help us going forward.” Grant Hughes led the Chargers with 10 points. The Dos Pueblos team is now 54 as it awaits league games.
DOS PUEBLOS LOSES TO NEWPORT HARBOR The Newport Harbor girls water polo team defeated Dos Pueblos 18-5 Saturday. Dos Pueblos’ Emma Gilbert, a junior, made three goals and four earned ejections. Another junior with the Chargers, Athena Wigo, made one goal, one assist, one steal and three earned ejections. And Ava Bennett, who’s also a junior, made one goal, two steals and one block. The Chargers’ goalie, freshman Megan Garner, made seven blocks and three steals. email: dmason@newspress.com

‘There was this amazing vibrant energy’

MITZVAH
Continued from Page A1 Director of Community Engagement of Congregation B’nai B’rith, told the News-Press. “The Hebrew word ‘mitzvah’ literally means a commandment, but it refers to any act, large or small, that brings the sacred into this world. Once a year, on Mitzvah Day, we come together as a community to remind ourselves of our power to create holiness in this fractured world,” Rabbi Stephen Cohen of Congregation B’nai B’rith told the News-Press in an email. “Judaism has a concept known as ‘tikkun olam,’ which translates literally to repair the world. It is the idea that we are partners in creation. … However, He left it to us to continue to recreate this world to make it a whole world, a good and just world, a fair world, to repair the world,” Ms. Socolovsky said. As part of Mitzvah Day, a dozen different goodwill projects took place throughout Santa Barbara on Sunday, in partnership with many local non-profit organizations. The projects were intended to allow all generations in the congregation’s community to come together, help others, strengthen our community and engage in acts of kindness.

“It was so nice for people to come in at 8:30, seeing people that we haven’t seen in over two years. They may have been participating online, but actually seeing each other in person, it’s been a long time. There was this amazing vibrant energy, during the kick-off of the ceremony. Everyone was anxious to start the projects. There was a lot of excitement, and energy and attention to finish all the work and be able to show up for the organizations that need help,” said Ms. Socolovsky. Much was accomplished
throughout the day by the 250 volunteers who participated. Saving Lives received 40 donations; Operation Gratitude made 62 bracelets for soldiers overseas; 100 boxes were assembled for the Unity Shoppe; 30 pages of scrapbook were made for the Dream Foundation; 50 goodnight kits including pillows, lamps and stuffies were assembled for the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation; 350 homemade cookies and cards were made for healthcare workers; 70 bird feeders were made as animal mitzvahs; and the
Tree Gleaning Project produced about 40 crates of fruit which were donated to the Unity Shoppe. Rabbi Cohen went to clean up the beach with families, where they collected many bags of trash. The children putting together good night kits for children battling cancer made for a particularly heartwarming scene. “It was really fun the way I was able to engage with my colleagues, it feels wonderful and normal again. It was kind of surreal,” said Ms. Socolovsky. “This day could have never happened without the hard work of the four committee chairs and the leaders of each project. Leaders and volunteers are who make this such a meaningful and wonderful experience,” said Ms. Socolovsky. This year’s sponsors of Mitzvah Day included Montecito Bank & Trust, Costco, Sunny Smiles, Trader Joe’s, Albertsons, Sprouts, Kendall Rohde & Associates and Ralphs. A special thanks went out to Montecito Bank & Trust for their significant donation. “Seeing everybody together today being able to look each other in the eyes and smile through their masks, sharing a powerful community experience made my heart smile,” said Ms. Socolovsky. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

“Star Wars”-themed decorations grace the 400 block of Evonshire Avenue in Goleta.
Holiday magic graces Goleta Famous characters stand out in Christmas decorations at homes By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR
This is the second part in a News-Press series on Christmas decorations.
T
he Force is with a Goleta resident. That’s clear with a detailed “Star Wars” display that graces a home on Evonshire Avenue, which is an example of how Goleta residents are embracing Christmas with special decorations. Elsewhere in the city, Christmas decorations varied from the characters of the “Rudolph
the Red-Nosed Reindeer” to Linus from “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.” All three are animated classics that aired during the 1960s on CBS. In fact, “The Grinch” was directed by none other than Chuck Jones of “Bugs Bunny” fame. (Mr. Jones was known for a style so distinctive that it was obvious the programs were directed by Mr. Jones. The facial expressions tended to be more dynamic than those in other animated productions.) And the narrator was Boris Karlof of “Frankenstein” fame, who had a unforgettable voice. No wonder a Goleta resident

Here’s the history behind bedspreads in America
W
hy are beds important? I know your mind is racing, but I can tell you why the bed was important in rural America during the entire 19th century. A mother and father slept together there, but it also housed a few kids, too. Moreover, it was the largest piece of equipment and furniture in the entire house. As the only place a person could get warm, the bed was not only raised a great deal from the draught of the floor, but it was “dressed” with nice fabrics — as nice as a family could afford. And the bed was not only in the bedroom. Sometimes it was moved into the main, heated room with the fireplace, into a corner with the chimney wall so that the people in the bed could stay warm longer. Often the coverlets on a bed were given in people’s wills, because the bed dressing was the main decorative feature of the house and had symbolic meaning. J.U. sends me an American Jacquard coverlet from the 1840s when almost all rural households had one of these blankets. Quilts were a long time in making, and they were not just wool. These coverlets were both cotton and wool warp and weft — and therefore warmer. Quilts were highly decorative and bore the name of the maker, place of making and a pattern that would be patriotic and showy. Weavers who emigrated from Germany, who had learned how to weave on a household loom, took to making these coverlets, on looms called “overshot” looms, meaning that the designs were simple. When you turn the coverlet over, you will not see the pattern echoed on the back of the bedspread. English and Scottish emigrants learned to weave as part of their daily chores in the “double weave,” which means you will see the pattern echoed on the back. In 1820, something wonderful came to America that revolutionized the weaving industry, even for rural weavers, and that was the loom invented in 1800 by French weaver Joseph
Marie Jacquard (1752-1834). This loom was the world’s first punch card analog computer (think here of a player piano) where if you inserted a punch card into the loom itself, the loom could weave in the spaces the card told it to weave. A home loom or a loom on the back of a wagon pulled by itinerant weavers could “attach” a card reader to an existing loom, and make it “read” the punch cards. This was so revolutionary that many households had fairly intricate bed coverlets featuring custom designs, names, dates, eagles, heads of George Washington, images of specific flowers, and all for an inexpensive price, but usually the prize possession of the household when displayed and used nightly on the bed. There are two important museums in that feature the history of such coverlets, which I particularly love, because the majority of old coverlets are not expensive to buy at auction, and not easily recognizable as the antiques they are in thrift stores. One museum is the Shelburne Museum, founded in Shelburne, Vt., founded by Electra Havemeyer Webb. This museum features circus displays, carriages, decoys, coverlets, folk art, in short, Americana decorative art, and features a loom called a Barn Frame Loom. The National Museum of the American Coverlet is based in Bedford, Pa., features more woven wool and cotton coverlets than quilts, as coverlets were more prevalent. These coverlets are warm. I have often slept under one dated and designed 1840, which is indigo on cream. The foundation of such weavings is bleached cotton. Then the warp is interfaced with wool, and the weft is the “canvas” for color. Where did home weavers get the colors? From the local plants! This is because many of these coverlets were pre-synthetic colors for textile dyeing and are from dogwood and bloodroot, which makes red; goldenrod, which makes green; butternut, which makes brown; and bittersweet, which makes orange. Only after the Civil War did home weavers know of synthetic dyes, which first came out brighter

and more strident than natural dyes. And the first color to be invented as a chemical dye was mauve. If you are a weaver, you will understand that a really fine Jacquard coverlet was 2 ply with a “z” twist of wool and the yarn count was 18 by 18.5 per square inch. The National Museum of American History has a wonderful example with repeated images of George Washington. Not sure I want to sleep under George, however. The value of such a coverlet is $500. Dr. Elizabeth Stewart’s “Ask the Gold Digger” column appears Mondays in the News-Press. Written after her father’s COVID-19 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.

Thought for Today
Aries: Activity around you is picking up and you should add your energy to the group. Don’t feel like you need to get expensive accoutrements to be part of the crowd. What you need to connect you with the group is nothing you can buy in a store. It comes from your heart. Engage in intellectual discussions. They will be rewarding. Taurus: Don’t get too emotionally attached to your work today. You’ll have greater success when you distance yourself from what it is you’re trying to achieve. A more neutral perspective on the issue will make you much more effective at getting things done. You have power and you should use it. The key is to make sure that it doesn’t rule you. Gemini: Finding out the truth in a situation is key for you. Today you may want to take things to a higher level and loftier vantage point. This can’t happen until all the facts are straight. Remember the promises you make and stick to them with confidence. Your powerful emotions are charged with fiery energy. Don’t burn others with it! Cancer: Imagine yourself as part of a magnificent choir today. Your role is to sing beautifully but be aware of the other voices, too. Make sure your song isn’t drowning out anyone else. Stay integrated into the events of today. Don’t try to be overbearing, but make sure that your voice is heard. Leo: What you can’t find in one place, you’ll be able to find in another. Don’t give up until you find what you’re looking for. The key today is to take the power of your fiery emotions and put it to good use. A cynical attitude will only complicate matters and make it more difficult to work with other people. Virgo: Keep things light and uplifting today. If you’re open to new ways of doing things, revolutionary thoughts may come to you. It would behoove you to anticipate the future and nip any potential problems in the bud. The same conventional method that has been working for years may not be the best solution for the job. Seek other methods. Libra: Don’t get overwhelmed by the intense energy of the day.
Instead of cowering from it, use it as fuel to keep your internal power strong. Your inner being has a tremendous amount of appeal that can lead the masses. Don’t get bogged down by indecision. Remember that whatever path you choose is the right one. You can do no wrong! Scorpio: Your emotions are going to be intense. There’s a great deal of strength in your words. Let the fire burn red hot. The energy is contagious. Once the fire gets burning, it will continue raging for a long time. This is one of those days in which you can make important changes to your game plan. Don’t be afraid of dramatic transformation. Sagittarius: Things may be happening all around you today. You could feel like a spectator watching a foreign theater production. Don’t sit this one out in the audience. In fact, your energy is needed on center stage. Balance out the crazy drama with a bit of your solid, powerful rationality. Capricorn: Today you’ve reached an emotional climax. This feeling may be extra powerful. Great transformations are possible under this current trend. Seek freedom from your normal routine and feel free to push the boundaries of your limitations. Seek deeper meaning instead of following the crowd and the current trends. This isn’t a time to be cheap or petty. Be real! Aquarius: It would be best to do some deep meditation today. Connection with your inner space is incredibly valuable. Realize that great transformation comes when you release control. Let things flow smoothly and don’t worry so much about organizing and planning all of your actions. Keep things simple and easy. An overall understanding of the situation will come naturally. Pisces: Capitalize on the boisterous energy present today. This is a wonderful time to express yourself in a powerful manner. You may go to extremes on this level, so be careful how you wield your power. The key is not to get too attached to your ideas and any results that you want. Things will happen as they need to happen.

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.

Abbott debuts Texas border wall construction By BETHANY BLANKLEY
Congress to enforce the immigration laws of the United States of America.” Gov. Abbott cited the untold number of people being trafficked across the border as part of a massive modern-day slavery endeavor, and the unprecedented amount of drugs being smuggled into the country. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has confiscated enough fentanyl to kill everyone living in Texas, California, New York, Illinois and Florida, Gov. Abbott said. Citing a report that came out Friday, Gov. Abbott said, the number one cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45 “isn’t COVID-19, car wrecks, or cancer, it’s fentanyl. “Joe Biden has facilitated the death of

(The Center Square) — Gov. Greg Abbott has debuted the construction of a part of the Texas border wall in Rio Grande City six months after he announced Texas would be building its own border wall. “Texas is taking what truly is unprecedented action by any state ever for a state to build a wall on our border to secure the sovereignty of the United States as well as our own state,” Gov. Abbott said Saturday. “And this unprecedented action is needed for one single reason, and that’s because the Biden administration has failed to do its job as required by law as passed by
Missouri governor requests federal help for tornado recovery efforts By JOE MUELLER THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER
(The Center Square) — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Thursday requested the Federal Emergency Management Agency begin work with state and local leaders in Dunklin, Pemiscot and Reynolds Counties to provide assistance in recovering from last week’s tornadoes. The National Weather Service confirmed at least six tornadoes touched down in parts of Montgomery, Stone, Webster, Wright, Reynolds and St. Charles Counties. The storms killed two people who were in their homes, an 84-year-old woman in St. Charles County and a 9year-old girl in Pemiscot County. Six employees at an Amazon distribution center in Edwardsville, Ill., about 30 miles northeast of St. Louis, were killed when a tornado struck the facility. The storms damaged electric power systems. Dunklin and Pemiscot Counties had more than 20 large electricity transmission towers and lines destroyed that deliver power between New Madrid and Dell, Ark. Electric cooperatives and utility crews rerouted electricity from other sources and areas until repairs can be completed. More than 30,000 homes and businesses were without electricity during the storms and afterward. Teams composed of local emergency
management representatives from the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) and FEMA will work together to assess and document storm damage. The completion of preliminary damage assessments by the teams is required before requesting President Joe Biden declare a federal Major Disaster, allowing subsequent assistance. Pres. Biden visited Mayfield, Ky., on Wednesday where tornadoes killed more than 70 people and leveled most of the town. National Weather Service teams are continuing to collect and survey damage in southeast Missouri. As more information is compiled, additional assessments may be conducted. “SEMA’s regional coordinators have helped local emergency managers with documenting extensive damage to public infrastructure, homes, businesses, electric power delivery systems, and emergency response costs in the impacted communities,” Gov. Parson said in a statement. “Initial damage reports show a clear need for a formal review by FEMA as part of the federal disaster declaration process.” SEMA is coordinating disaster assistance centers today and Saturday in St. Charles and Pemiscot Counties with volunteer and faith-based partners. Those affected by the storms can receive help with food, insurance information, emergency financial and legal assistance.
those people by the open border policies that he has allowed to take place here in Texas,” Gov. Abbott said. “And it must be stopped. The people who are making money off of this are the gangs and the cartels that our DPS and National Guard are working to apprehend every single day.” The wall is steel and constructed in a similar fashion as the wall erected by the Trump administration, but the portion debuted Saturday was made by a local Texas company, McAllen Strong Steel. The Texas border wall construction is part of a multifaceted approach the state of Texas has taken since Gov. Abbott initiated Operation Lone Star in March. It also is part of a $3 billion initiative

(The Center Square) — Gov. J.B. Pritzker said he won’t provide a specific date for when he’ll lift the statewide indoor mask mandate in Illinois. Gov. Pritzker was asked Tuesday about a possible sunset date for the statewide mandate, but the governor declined. The governors of New York and California have set end dates to their mask mandates. Gov.

(The Center Square) — It’s official: Kshama Sawant has avoided being recalled – by 310 votes. Ms. Sawant, a socialist and Seattle’s longest-tenured member of the city council, will retain her position with just over half of voters in District 3 casting their ballots to keep her in office. Friday’s certified ballot results, streamed live on King County Elections Facebook page, showed 50.38% of voters (20,656) in opposition to the recall and 49.62% in favor (20,346). There are 77,579 registered voters in District 3, which includes Capitol Hill, First Hill, the Central District, Madrona,

Montlake, and Leschi. The controversial Ms. Sawant, 48, a former economics professor, was elected to the Seattle City Council in 2013 and is well known for pushing measures like rent control, defunding the police, and taxing big corporations like Amazon to pay for community services. The recall levied three specific charges against Ms. Sawant, including violating COVID-19 protocols by admitting protesters into city hall during a June 2020 demonstration, misusing council resources to promote her “Tax Amazon” initiative, and using her position on the city council to lead protesters to Mayor Jenny Durkan’s home. Ms. Sawant’s victory provides a boost to the city’s progressive movement, which
“As usual, the Governor’s only answer is to shut down businesses, mask our children, mandate vaccination,” Rep. Niemerg said. “We need to actually examine what we are doing, remove political theater from these decisions and give Illinoisans a clear path to combatting this virus.” Gov. Pritzker let an earlier mask mandate that was in place for more than a year expire in May, but then reissued a mandate in July. The most recent mandate issued by executive order in August was reissued on Friday, which the Illinois Department of Public Health said expires Jan. 8.

experienced setbacks in last month’s general election when more pro-law-andorder candidates won the mayor’s office and the city attorney’s office, and a more business-friendly candidate won a city council seat. Still, don’t look for Ms. Sawant’s heated rhetoric and behavior to change in light of her slim recall victory, says John Wilkerson, professor and chair of the Department of Political Science at the University of Washington, who predicted to The Center Square that Ms. Sawant would prevail. “From the start, Sawant has portrayed the recall as part of a class struggle,” he said in an email. “I doubt that the closeness of the outcome will have much of an impact on her agenda.”

Pritzker said masks help keep people safe amid an increase in cases and hospitalizations. “We can’t set an end to this mask mandate because we need to keep people safe,” the governor said. “We need to stop pretending masks don’t work because they do.” State Rep. Adam Niemerg, a Republican, has been against the continuance of the mask mandate and said that other options should be considered.

construct the wall along the southwest border. The Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act provided the same amount of funds, bringing the total to about $3 billion. After Pres. Biden halted construction of the wall, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sued, arguing his actions violated federal law. Much of the federal wall materials already paid for by taxpayers were left on the ground by the unfinished sections of the border wall built under the Trump administration. It currently costs taxpayers $3 million a day to not build the wall because of contractual obligations with the construction firm tasked with building it.

approved by the Texas Legislature to fund border security efforts in Texas. Gov. Abbott said the National Guard already has been putting up border barriers along the Texas-Mexico border, including container ships and razor wire, boat barricades in the water and fencing on private property. The governor was joined by Texas General Land Office Commissioner George P. Bush, Texas DPS Director Steve McCraw and several state and local officials. One of Pres. Biden’s first acts in office was to halt construction of the border wall, which had been authorized by Congress in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020. Congress allocated $1.375 billion to
