PRAYING FOR UKRAINE Church holds prayer services for family members and friends in Ukraine

DAVE MASON/NEWS-PRESS

Pastor Michael Smiyun of the First Ukrainian Evangelical Baptist Church of Santa Barbara said his church is praying for the protection of the Ukrainians during the Russian invasion.

“There’s support from this country and all over the world. I’m amazed by how many people care,” said Ksenia Luchkowska, who was born to ethnic Ukranians and proudly displays a Ukrainian flag outside her Santa Barbara home.

Ksenia Luchkowska, who was born to Ukrainian parents, finds encouragement in the world’s support By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Horror and fear. Those are the emotions Ksenia Luchkowska first felt when she heard Russia launched a devastating attack on Ukraine in late February. The Santa Barbara resident was born in 1944 in a displaced persons camp in what is now Jaslo, Poland (then, a German occupation zone) to ethnic Ukrainian parents. Her father was an officer in the Polish army, and her family fled after

Germany invaded and the Soviets began to move in. Eventually, Ms. Luchkowska and her family relocated to Belgium for a few years before settling in Lorain, Ohio, in a Ukrainian community. And in 1978, she came to Santa Barbara with her late husband, hotelier Eric Friden, and set down roots. But Ms. Luchkowska never forgot about her upbringing and family still in Ukraine. When Ukraine became an independent country in 1991, Ms. Luchkowska made the trek

overseas, volunteering to teach English. She spent time in Yalta on the Crimean Peninsula, the capital city of Kyiv and Lviv, a western city popular among tourists near Poland. There in Lviv, Ms. Luchkowska met her older cousin who said, “I hope you get on your knees and thank your parents for getting you out.” It was a dire message Ms. Luchkowska still remembers some 20 years later as she watches news of the Russian invasion — which the White House has dubbed

“Putin’s War of Choice” — play out in the media. “I know that President Putin of Russia has been saying for quite a while there’s no such thing as Ukraine, we should all be one big happy family,” Ms. Luchkowska told the News-Press. “Some brother he is. He attacks Ukraine with such horrible means. It’s horrendous. It’s just awful. It’s unthinkable.” Ms. Luchkowska and others with Ukrainian ties in the Please see KSENIA on A5

Two Santa Barbara friends, both from Ukraine, unite to help refugees By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Gregory Lyutko and Walter Polowczak were both born in Ukraine just a few years and a few hundred kilometers apart. But now, the two men have found themselves settled in Santa Barbara with their longtime friendship propelling them on a mission: to raise awareness and aid for Ukrainians who have become refugees seemingly overnight as Russia continues to aggressively invade their country. Mr. Lyutko and Mr. Polowczak have organized two

demonstrations in Santa Barbara with another planned at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Garden Sunday. With family and friends still in Ukraine in the midst of the conflict, both men are particularly concerned about the refugees — and their future. “At this rate, Ukraine is literally being annihilated,” Mr. Polowczak, 65, told the NewsPress. “Irrespective of how this whole thing gets resolved, what are they going to go back to? There are no homes, no economy. In many cases, these are women with children because their husbands

are fighting the war.” Mr. Lyutko moved to Santa Barbara more than 30 years ago with his wife and two children from a part of Ukraine still under the control of the Soviet Union at the time to pursue freedom. Among countless other family members, he has five siblings currently in Ukraine who he speaks with every morning. So far, Mr. Lyutko said, his family is OK but has sought protection in bomb shelters as they hide “from Russian aggression.” “I feel the sorrow and suffering of the Ukrainian people. My

The First Ukrainian Evangelical Baptist Church of Santa Barbara has been holding nightly services this week to pray for Ukraine. Many in the congregation, including the pastor himself, have family and friends in Ukraine. “We gather together to pray to stop this bloody war. A lot of our family members are still there,” Pastor Michael Smiyun told the News-Press Wednesday. “Our relatives and friends are spending day and night in a bunker. Especially the children. “We are praying to protect them. We are praying to God to give them wisdom for what to do for themselves and others,” Pastor Smiyun said. “We are also praying for their brothers in Christ to help them. Additionally, we are praying for wisdom for

the Ukrainian president, to stop this evil from Russia — they are not listening to anyone, other presidents or countries. “We believe God can do more than we can imagine,” he said. “According to the Bible, there are alot of miracles where God saved the nation of Israel and other nations. We are also praying for the U.S., and we are thankful for anyone who stands with us. “We are also praying for Ukrainian refugees,” said Pastor Smiyun. More than 500,000 Ukrianians have fled across their western border. “They were living a normal life, and now they have basically nothing. We are also raising funds to purchase supplies for the refugees,” Pastor Smiyun said. The First Ukrainian Please see CHURCH on A5

sympathy to all Ukrainian people, including my relatives,” Mr. Lyutko, 60, told the News-Press. And aside from his family, Mr. Polowczack communicates almost daily with a seminary that has turned into a refugee center. Before Russia’s invasion, Mr. Polowczak was traveling extensively to Ukraine as he is involved with charity and missions work. He moved to the Chicago area in 1968 when he was 12 years old and continues to split his time between Santa Barbara and Chicago. In fact, Mr. Polowczak

As Russian forces intensified their attacks Wednesday on the civilian areas of Ukraine’s largest cities, particularly Kyiv and Kharkiv, Ukrainian civilians continued to flee neighboring nations for refuge. “During this time, we have truly become one,” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a televised address to Ukraine. “We forgave each other. We started loving each other. We help each other. We are worried for each other.” Kharkiv, a city of 1.5 million people, has been the target of the most intensive bombing. Reuters quoted authorities as saying 21 people have been killed by shelling and airstrikes within 24 hours and

Bonta and other attorneys general investigate TikTok’s impact on children By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

A multitude of state attorneys general, including California Attorney General Rob Bonta, launched a probe into TikTok Wednesday into whether the popular social media platform is knowingly inflicting harm on children. The bipartisan coalition of investigators said they will investigate whether TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance Ltd., violated state consumer protection laws and if the company knew about potential dangers posed to young children while promoting its platform. “Our children are growing up in the age of social media — and many feel like they need to measure up to the filtered versions of reality that they see on their screens,” Attorney General Bonta said in a statement. “We know this takes a devastating toll on children’s mental health and well-being. But we don’t know what social media companies knew about these harms and when.” Wall Street Journal investigations have found TikTok’s algorithm could promote harmful eating disorders and diet content to youths as well as content related to drug use, sexual abuse or depression. TikTok is a social media platform featuring short videos of a variety of topics — from religious prayers to popular dances to funny animals to more serious content. “We care deeply about building an experience that helps to protect and support the wellbeing of our community and

appreciate that the state attorneys general are focusing on the safety of younger users,” a TikTok spokesperson said in a statement provided to the News-Press. “We look forward to providing information on the many safety and privacy protections we have for teens.” Aside from California, attorneys general from Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, Tennessee and Vermont are leading the investigation. Attorneys general from other states, including Connecticut and Missouri, for example, have also signed onto the probe. The investigation follows on the heels of the group of eight launching a probe into Instagram, under the Meta Platforms Inc., umbrella, in November. Then, Attorney General Bonta said: “For too long, Meta has ignored the havoc that Instagram is wreaking on the mental health and well-being of our children and teens. Enough is enough.” During his State of the Union address Tuesday evening, President Joe Biden said he wanted to improve mental health among the nation’s children — something he said was a problem even before the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Biden pointed to “bullying, violence, trauma and the harms of social media” as harming young people in the country. “It’s time to strengthen privacy protections; ban targeted advertising to children (and) demand tech companies stop collecting personal data on our children,” President Biden said. email: kschallhorn@newspress. com

California bill would ban ranked choice voting By MADISON HIRNEISEN THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER

(The Center Square) — A proposal to ban ranked choice voting in California is expected to be heard in a legislative committee in the coming weeks, leaving lawmakers to weigh a measure that would alter the way elections are completed in several cities across the state. The proposal, contained in Assembly Bill 2808, would prohibit ranked choice voting in state and local elections. A ranked choice voting system allows voters to rank candidates based on preference, having voters indicate their first choice, second choice and so on. The bill’s author, Assemblymember Patrick O’Donnell, D-Long Beach, said in a statement that ranked choice voting “allows an election to be gamed.” “Our democracy and our recent elections may be under heightened stress and scrutiny right now, but our long-established voting system is strong,” Assemblymember O’Donnell said. “We are a model for the world. We must not abandon our voting principles to chase the election flavor of the month.” If passed, the proposal would shift how elections are completed in several areas across the state. Berkeley, Oakland, San Leandro and San Francisco adopted a ranked-voting system in the early 2000s and have used it for more than a decade to elect city officials, according to Fair Vote, an advocate of ranked choice voting. Additionally, Albany, Eureka and Palm Desert were set to begin using a ranked-voting system for local elections starting in November 2022. The method is also used widely

A California legislative committee is expected to consider a proposal to ban ranked choice voting.

in several other states, including Utah, where it is utilized for elections in 20 cities. The state of Maine also adopted ranked choice voting in 2016 and used it in 2018 for all state and federal primary elections and general elections for Congress, according to Fair Vote. Maine used the system in 2020 for the general election for president as well. Proponents of the system say the method helps improve diversity among elected officials and reduces polarization by incentivizing candidates to appeal to broader swaths of voters. “There’s a simple, costeffective change that is proven to make democracy more fair, more representative, and more functional. It’s called Ranked Choice Voting, and it’s already making government better in California and other states across the U.S.,” the California RCV

(Ranked Choice Voting) Coalition wrote on its website. Assemblymember O’Donnell, however, said he believes the current voting system works as is, even if it results in a run-off election. Within the bill text, Mr. O’Donnell wrote that ranked choice voting is “fundamentally more complicated” than other alternatives and can lead to mistakes that could “further disenfranchise voters.” Opponents of the system also argue that ranked choice voting can lead to situations where a winning candidate will fall short of a majority of the vote. In the bill text, Assemblymember O’Donnell wrote that elections where winners fail to receive a “plurality of the vote” is an “undemocratic outcome.” “(The current system) is the best system out there, and California should stick with what works

and not follow fads that alter the voice of voters,” Mr. O’Donnell said. “Elections can be messy and the process takes time, but that’s how democracy works and we should not change it. The right to vote is a fundamental American value and should not be molded into something akin to playing a predictive video game.” This bill is not the first time lawmakers have backed measures to prohibit ranked choice voting. Tennessee recently moved forward with its own ban on ranked choice voting earlier this week. Gov. Bill Lee signed legislation on Monday prohibiting the system from being used in state and local elections. Mr. O’Donnell’s bill could be heard in committee on March 21, according to the state’s legislative tracker. Madison Hirneisen covers California for The Center Square.

UCSB defeats Cal State Northridge in women’s basketball game By MICHAEL JORGENSON UCSB SPORTS WRITER

SOFT WASHING Soft washing is the alternative to pressure washing. We use water based, biodegradable solutions. They emulsify dirt and grime, break down insect nests and webs as well as kill mold, mildew, algae and bacteria. All while sanitizing the surface we are cleaning. Soft washing uses one-third the water of pressure washing, lasts four to six times longer, and doesn’t erode the surface like pressure washing often can.

WINDOW CLEANING GUTTER CLEANING DECKS & PATIOS CLEANING ROOF WASHING

ADDING HOME VALUE According to the National Association of Realtors, cleaning the homes exterior (for the home and driveway) can add anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 to the value of your home, making pressure washing one of the most costeffective and time-efficient cleaning techniques. “High pressure washing systems are likely to damage asphalt roofing and should not be used on asphalt roofing for removing algae or for any other purpose.” — Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing Association

RAILING/FENCE CLEANING CONCRETE CLEANING EXTERIOR SIDING

Santa Barbara Soft Wash uses processes and roof cleaning solutions that are recommended by the ARMA so you can be reassured that your roof warranty is not voided.

KILLS MOLD, MILDEW, & ALGAE The problem with high pressure washing is it only strips away the top of the algae bloom, and while it may temporarily remove discoloration, it leaves the root spores on the surface, often blasting them deeper, and allowing them to grow back thicker and healthier. Soft Washing penetrates to the root of the growth, eliminating the discoloration instantly while breaking the bond of the spores and achieving a 100% kill ratio.

NORTHRIDGE — After falling behind by 17 points in the third quarter on Tuesday night, the UCSB women’s basketball team stormed back with a 29-point turnaround over the final 19:12 to top Cal State Northridge by a final score of 63-51. The Gauchos (15-10, 9-7) took a 9-5 lead several minutes in on a three-pointer from senior point guard Danae Miller, but CSUN (9-17, 5-11) would close the opening period strong on a 9-2 run. Northridge couldn’t miss inside the line in the second quarter, going 8-of-10 on twopoint attempts as they took a 3319 lead into halftime. A Tess Amundsen threepointer opened the second half to give the Matadors their largest lead of the day at 36-19. From that point, their night would be turned upside down. The Gauchos began pounding the ball inside to Lane, who scored eight points on a perfect 4-of-4 mark in the third. Miller closed the quarter with

23 points to lead all players, 15 coming in the fourth. She finished 11-of-16 at the charity stripe, making double-digit free throws for the first time since hitting 10-of-11 for 23 points in her first career game as a freshman at Texas Tech in 2019. Ila Lane put up 14 points and 11 rebounds for her third straight double-double. That extends her remarkable streak of eight consecutive double-digit scoring games while shooting 60 percent or better. Her previous best was two straight such outings. Fresh off her 35-point outburst in Saturday’s win over UC Davis, senior point guard Danae Miller still had the hot touch from the outside, knocking down 3-of6 from deep and finishing with 15 points. Miller has been a sniper over her past five games, connecting on 17-of-36 (47.2%) three-pointers. The Gauchos will have the rest of the week to prepare for their final regular season game at Hawaii this Saturday at 9 p.m. PT.

her third triple of the day, a coldblooded step back buzzer beater to bring UCSB within 5 points, 39-34. The Gauchos picked up right where they left off in the fourth, scoring on each of their first three possessions. UCSB took its first lead since the opening quarter, 40-39 on a silky smooth stop-on-a-dime, turnaround fadeaway by guard Alexis Tucker at the 7:56 mark. That capped a 21-4 run. There would be several more lead changes before freshman guard Kennedy Johnson’s big putback with 3:14 to go put the Gauchos up 47-45. Miller would navigate the lane for a clutch floater to put them up five, and Anya Choice found Lane over the top for a dagger layup, making it 52-45 with just over a minute remaining to seal UCSB’s second straight win. The Gauchos were dreadful at the line over the first three quarters (2/8 FT), but that changed in the fourth thanks in large part to Alexis Tucker. The junior went 9-of-10, and the team went 13-for-16 (81.3%) on free throws over the final 10 minutes. Tucker tied a career-high with

The Gauchos picked the perfect time to hit their longest win streak of the year, ramping up to next week’s Big West Tournament with a 70-61 win over Cal State Northridge Tuesday night. The UCSB men’s basketball team (15-10, 7-5) has now won four games in a row and seven of its last eight since making the turn in conference play in early February. Senior forward Amadou Sow posted a season-high 26 points on 12-of-15 rebounds to go with seven rebounds and a steal. It was his second straight 25-point game and his fifth 20-point game of the

season. Freshman Ajay Mitchell dropped double-digits for the fourth-straight game scoring 17 tonight going 6-of-9 from the field and 4-for-5 from the free-throw line. He also added four rebounds and three assists. The Gauchos dominated the game in all the areas they typically do, including winning the rebound battle 32-24, outscoring the Matadors in the paint 40-26, and outshooting them 55.3%46.3%. UCSB led for 38:39 minutes of the game. Junior guard Ajare Sanni returned to the Thunderdome floor for the first time since returning from injury knocking down a pair of threes and scoring eight total. Sow opened the game scoring the Gauchos first 10 points, going 5-for-5 on solely post moves and dunks down low and keeping his

team ahead through the first five minutes. UCSB had opportunities to blow the game open, but Cal State Northridge hung tough, getting buckets when necessary to stay in the game despite the Gaucho defense holding it to just 42.3% shooting from the field. UCSB closes out the season tonight against Hawai’i in a big game that marks WHITEOUT and Senior Night. The Gauchos want you to join them in wearing white, and there will be a pregame ceremony celebrating the graduating class of 2022. This includes Jay Nagle, Sekou Toure, Robinson Idehen, Miles Norris, Amadou Sow, and manager Zhupou He. Daniel Moebus-Bowles writes about sports for UCSB. email: sports@newspress.com

Don Pueblos loses to Scripps Ranch in boys basketball By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Don Pueblos boys basketball team narrowly lost to Scripps Ranch in an away game Tuesday, with the final score of 75-70. “Scripps Ranch came out firing on all cylinders, and we had a hard time matching their intensity,” Don Pueblos Coach Joe Zamora told the News-Press in an email. “We had too many turnovers in the first half and dug ourselves a hole.” Although Zamora said the second half of the game was “much better” on both sides of the court, it wasn’t enough for Don Pueblos to take the victory in the away game. Zamora praised his three seniors — Kael Rillie, Joaquin Riker and Krue Court — for their leadership this season. “They set the bar for future DP players,” Zamora said. “I was extremely proud of our players and program this year,” Zamora said. “It was my first time in the CIF finals and state tourney.” Riker scored 21 points; Grant Hughes, 17 points, and Joseph Talarico, 14 points, in Tuesday’s game. SAN MARCOS BOYS VOLLEYBALL TEAM FALLS IN FIVE SETS Despite coming out of the gate winning the first two sets, the San Marcos boys volleyball team ultimately lost to Thousand Oaks during a non-league road game Tuesday. “I thought we served real well on the night and had enough offense to win, but we need to get better on defense against very good teams,” San Marcos Coach Roger Kuntz said. Set one went to San Marcos 26-24 along with the second set 25-19. Thousand Oaks took the remaining three sets with scores of 25-16, 25-18 and 15-11. Kuntz said sophomore Jack Wilson played well in the front row Tuesday, coming off an “outstanding” tournament

performance over the weekend. Senior Colin Earls added strength to the team while junior Hansen Streeter came up with assists, Kuntz said. SANTA YNEZ COACH STILL OPTIMISTIC The Santa Ynez boys volleyball team fell in straight sets Tuesday night while playing an away match at San Luis Obispo. However, Coach Craig Scott was optimistic following the defeat. “We are starting four new players so we could not match the Tigers’ experience or intensity, but we are an athletic team so every touch this team gets will make them stronger as the season progresses,” Scott told the News-Press in an email. “We had flashes of what this team can do so I’m looking forward to their development over the next few weeks.” Senior outside hitter Grant Fieldhouse led the team with 10 kills and one service ace. Overall, San Luis Obispo won three consecutive sets with scores of 25-14, 25-13, and 25-16. Santa Ynez will open its Channel League season with a home match today against the Santa Barbara Dons. SANTA YNEZ LOSES TO SAN MARCOS San Marcos girls softball team came back from an early 3-0 deficit against Santa Ynez to ultimately win Tuesday’s game 20-3. Cierra Cloud went 1 for 3 at the plate with a single and RBI. Riley Vannasap went 1 for 2 with a single and a run. Giszelle Hrehor went 2 for 3 with a double, single and scoring RBI. Kylee Johnson went 2 for 2 with two singles, two stolen bases and a scoring run. Freshman Brianna Marsh was perfect from the plate, going 1 for 1 with a single up the middle. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

Santa Barbara has held rallies in support of the Ukrainian people, and Goleta-based nonprofit Direct Relief has sent medical aid to Ukraine since the invasion. Santa Barbara-based ShelterBox USA is sending a

team to Eastern Europe to look at Ukraine’s needs. “There’s support from this country and all over the world. I’m amazed by how many people care,” Ms. Luchkowska said. “Ukraine is a democracy, and they believe in freedom and peace. They don’t want to fight anybody, kill anybody,” she added. “They want to be friendly with Western Europe, with Russia, with the United States. I don’t have anything against the Russian people, but their president (Vladimir Putin) is a madman.”

And like many others, Ms. Luchkowska is concerned for the growing number of refugees, particularly the women and children, who are being displaced. The European Union has estimated up to 4 million Ukrainian people could attempt to flee their country. Reciting the mantra by those opposed to the Vietnam War — “war is not healthy for children and other living things” — Ms. Luchkowska said, “It’s true for everywhere. War is the worst possible way to resolve conflict,

and I’m just sick that Putin decided to go that route.” Four years ago, Ms. Luchkowska was able to travel again to Ukraine with her two sons to visit family. That older cousin who had urged Ms. Luchkowska to be grateful for growing up in the U.S. had since passed away, but they visited and dined with other family members who shared their culture.

President Biden divides Democrats with calls to ‘fund police’ By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER

NEWS-PRESS FILE PHOTO

“The answer is to fund the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities,” President Joe Biden said during the State of the Union.

(The Center Square) — President Joe Biden blasted the defund police movement during his State of the Union address Tuesday evening, but others in his party are not going along with his messaging. “We should all agree: The answer is not to defund the police,” President Biden said in his address. “The answer is to fund the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities.” Almost immediately, Mr. Biden was met with pushback from his own party. Some Democratic lawmakers and a contingent of activists have continued to push for “defunding police” despite the president’s rhetoric to the contrary during his time in office. “With all due respect, Mr. President,” Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo, wrote on Twitter in response to the speech. “You didn’t mention saving Black lives once in this speech. All our country has done is given more funding to police. The result? 2021 set a record for fatal police shootings. Defund the police. Invest in our communities.” While Rep. Bush doubled down on her message, other Democrats have drifted from it. Tuesday was not President Biden’s first time to emphasize funding police. He has consistently held that message, defying others in his party. Last June, Mr. Biden called for hiring more police to stop the wave of violent crime that continues to sweep across American cities. “But what I would say to you is that the president has never supported defunding the police,” Press Secretary Jen Psaki said at a news briefing at the time. “He’s always supported community policing programs. He’s supported giving funding to — to states and

localities around the country, including through his American Rescue Plan, because he thinks there is an essential role to play for community policing.” Mr. Biden also pointed to specific policing strategies, like beat cop patrols as well as measures meant to prevent deaths, like “body cameras, banned chokeholds, and restricted no-knock warrants for its officers.” “Like some of you that have been around for a while — I’ve worked with you on these issues for a long time,” President Biden said Tuesday evening. “I know what works: Investing in crime prevention and community policing — cops who walk the beat, who know the neighborhood, and who can restore trust and safety. Let’s not abandon our streets or choose between safety and equal justice. Let’s come together and protect our communities, restore trust, and hold law enforcement accountable.” During his speech, President Biden noted he met with the families of slain New York City Police Department officers Wilbert Mora and Jason Rivera. “I recently visited the New York City Police Department days after the funerals of Officer Wilbert Mora and his partner, Officer Jason Rivera,” he said. “They were responding to a 9-1-1 call when a man shot and killed them with a stolen gun. Officer Mora was 27 years old. Officer Rivera was 22 years old. Both Dominican Americans who grew up in the same streets that they later chose to patrol as police officers. “I spoke with their families, and I told them that we are forever in debt for their sacrifices, and we’ll carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety in every community deserves.” Casey Harper works at The Center Square’s Washington, D.C., bureau.

Andrew Cuomo pushes fight against New York attorney general to airwaves By STEVE BITTENBENDER THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) — With millions left in his campaign coffer, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has returned to airwaves as he continues his fight against state Attorney General Letitia James and the sexual harassment report that led to his downfall last August. On Monday, Team Cuomo unveiled a commercial it will air statewide and online that highlights the fact that five prosecutors declined to press or proceed with charges against him that were tied to allegations of harassment or inappropriate touching documented in the report. According to AdImpact, the Cuomo campaign has already spent about $370,000 on the 30-second spot. In January, the New York State Board of Elections reported that he had more than

$16.4 million remaining in his campaign account. “We will not rest until all the facts are out and New Yorkers understand the full scope of the craven politics and prosecutorial misconduct that permeated this process,” Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi said in a statement. Mr. Cuomo announced his resignation a week after the independent investigators’ report was released by James, whose office oversaw the five-month inquiry. At the time, he said he did not want to be a distraction as the state continued its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, especially since it seemed certain that lawmakers would consider impeaching him. However, Cuomo, his campaign and his attorneys have continued to criticize the report, arguing that Attorney General James withheld vital information from the public regarding accusers.

While none of the prosecutors in the five counties where harassment was alleged to have happened took action against the former governor, several noted his behavior was concerning and could lead to civil cases. One has already been filed by a former state trooper who served on the governor’s security detail. The return of Mr. Cuomo to the airwaves could prove problematic for Democrats in New York looking to move on from the former governor, especially since voters will go to the polls later this year to vote for the state’s next top executive. The harassment allegations were just part of the clouds hanging over Mr. Cuomo as he left office. He faced an impeachment inquiry in the state Assembly. That panel looked at the harassment cases, his handling of nursing homes during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic

and a $5 million deal he received to write a book on his handling of the COVID crisis. Gov. Kathy Hochul, Cuomo’s former lieutenant governor and successor, has pledged to make several reforms. That includes eliminating what some have called a toxic environment in the executive chamber. She removed several Cuomo appointees from their positions and has made reforming the state’s public ethics watchdog agency a top priority. However, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, the likely Republican nominee for November’s gubernatorial election, has made Mr. Cuomo a significant part of his campaign, too. “No ad buy is big enough to erase the pain, suffering & damage Andrew Cuomo wreaked on NY,” the Long Island congressman tweeted on Friday as initial reports of the Cuomo ad campaign emerged.

New York state senator seeks to legalize online casinos in new bill

By STEVE BITTENBENDER

THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) — A state senator wants to make New York the eighth state in the U.S. to legalize online casino gaming, also known as iGaming. On Feb. 24, state Sen. Joseph Addabbo, D-Howard Beach, filed S8412, which would allow commercial and tribal casinos to offer online apps and websites that would allow people to play slot machines and table games from their computers or mobile devices. Sen. Addabbo, who chairs the Senate Committee on Racing, Gaming and Wagering, said in a memo adjoined to the bill that New York’s early success in mobile sports betting makes offering online casino gaming a logical next step. “New York quickly became the leading mobile sports betting market in the nation, generating nearly $70 million in tax revenue in a single month,” he wrote. “Similarly, if authorized, New York would quickly become the national leader in online casino gaming, generating hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue annually for the state as it continues to recover from the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Sen. Addabbo’s bill notes a “conservative” estimate of $475 million in annual tax revenue from operators’ gross iGaming receipts. That’s based on a 25% tax rate in the bill. The bill would allow each casino to partner with two online gaming platforms that would need to be approved by the New York State Gaming Commission. Apps from casinos would be subject to an initial licensing fee of $2 million, while independent operators that partner with casinos would pay a $10 million licensing fee. The senator said he expects the state to get about $150 million from the licensing fees, and the licenses would be good for 10 years. States that currently allow iGaming include Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Nevada does not allow online slot machines or banked table games, but the state does allow online poker. A spokesman for the iDevelopment and Economic Association (iDEA Growth), an online gaming industry group, said in a statement to The Center Square that Addabbo’s bill was a welcomed step forward. “We have long argued that states must consider regulating online casinos games along with sports betting,” iDEA Growth

State Advocacy Director John Pappas said. “Kudos to Sen. Addabbo for leading this effort to ensure that all online gaming consumers, not just sports bettors, are protected and that New York state reaps even more tax revenues. We urge lawmakers to give iGaming their full consideration.” While sports betting is far more prevalent than iGaming, the states that have legalized online casinos have reported more revenue from that activity. In New Jersey, the Division of Gaming Enforcement reported state-licensed online casinos earned $1.37 billion in revenues last year. That’s a nearly 41% jump from the $970.4 million they reported in 2020. Sportbooks reported revenues of $815.8 million in 2021, more than double the $398.5 million from a 2020 year that was somewhat affected by changes in sports schedules due to the COVID-19 pandemic. New Jersey received $205.2 million in iGaming taxes last year and $102.2 million in sports betting taxes. Online casino operators pay a 15% tax on revenues, while sportsbooks pay a 13% tax on online revenue and an 8.5% levy on retail revenues. In Michigan, the state’s Gaming Control Board reported adjusted gross revenues of $110.6 million for

its 14 licensed mobile sportsbooks and $1 billion for the 14 online casinos. The state received $7.3 million in taxes from sport betting operators, which are taxed at 8.4 percent, and $201.7 million from iGaming operators, whose taxes range from 20% to 28% of AGR. New York taxes online sportsbooks at 51%. That’s based on a rate set by operators that applied for licenses last year through a competitive bid process. The iGaming bill also comes as New York considers issuing licenses for three brick-andmortar casinos in the downstate region. Sen. Addabbo expects those licenses to fetch upward of $2 billion combined for the state and add thousands of hospitality and construction jobs to a region that saw losses in those sectors because of the pandemic. Other states, such as Indiana this year, have seen iGaming bills falter in the legislature for a variety of reasons. Some opponents fear offering iGaming would lead to reduced revenues for and eventually fewer jobs at brick-and-mortar casinos. Those concerns have not panned out in iGaming states so far, and in states where live-action online table games are allowed, supporters say it leads to new dealer jobs.

‘En France Encore’ Daikon radish The name Daikon translates from Japanese to mean “great root,” and there are more than 100 different varieties within the daikon root realm that vary in color, shape and flavor. The most commonly encountered form are these large white specimens that are quite delicious when enjoyed both raw and cooked. Daikon radishes thrive this time of year, and I commonly pickled them. This week I prepared pickled daikon radish and red onion as the Fix of the Week on B2. These radishes are grown by several local farmers. You can find them at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real and Tuesday Santa Barbara farmers’ markets. Price averages about $3 per pound.

Gold nugget tangerine This delicious hybrid is the result of a cross between the Wilking and Kincy mandarins. It’s easy to peel and super sweet, but what really sets this variety apart from the rest is how firm the individual sections are. Gold nugget tangerines have a more extended season than most other varieties, and you can often still find them all the way to the end of the spring season. Available from several local citrus growers, gold nugget tangerines can be found at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara, Wednesday Solvang and Thursday Carpinteria farmers’ markets. Price averages $3 per pound.

Leon Dabo show at Sullivan Goss links with Van Gogh exhibit across street at Art Museum By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

‘L

eon Dabo: En France Encore,” a show timed to coincide with the Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s major Van Gogh-themed exhibition, is on view through March 28 at Sullivan Goss Gallery, 11 E. Anapamu St. “Leon Dabo was a French-born American artist who became well known before the first World War as a tonalist painter,” said Nathan Vonk, owner of the Sullivan Goss Gallery. “As one of the organizers of the 1913 Armory show in New York City, Mr. Dabo played a key role in introducing impressionism, postimpressionism and modernism to an American audience. “After his time spent in Europe as an intelligence officer during the first World War, his work took a dramatic turn toward post-impressionism with pieces that show the obvious influence of Van Gogh’s work, an aesthetic lineage that only became stronger after the second World War.”

FYI For more information about “Leon Dabo: En France Encore” on view through March 28 at Sullivan Goss Gallery, 11 E. Anapamu St., Santa Barbara, visit www.sullivangoss.com.

This body of work was largely overlooked during the artist’s life and by early biographers. This group of paintings, many of which were painted after his 80th birthday, now seem to be among Mr. Dabo’s boldest and most unique. As part of its ongoing scholarship on the artist, Sullivan Goss will be releasing its fourth publication on the artist to accompany this exhibition, according to Mr. Vonk, adding that the artist made his living early on doing decorative art and design for interiors, especially the interiors of churches and synagogues. “Starting around the turn of the century, however, he began to actively seek a living as a fine artist with an increased focus on easel painting,” said Mr. Vonk. “He found his earliest success as a tonalist, a painter

who restricted both the contrast and the hue of his paintings of New York and the Hudson River Valley. A string of successful shows across the United States and abroad confirmed him as one of America’s preeminent painters in the tonal tradition.” In 1910, Mr. Dabo joined his friends from the Ashcan School in showing at the Exhibition of Independent Artists. Later, he joined his Ashcan friends and other progressive artists in forming the Association of American Painters and Sculptors to mount the International Exhibition of Modern Art, better known as “The Armory Show.” “A few years later, he would help form The Pastelists, a group of leading American artists devoted to pastel as a primary medium for fine art,” Mr. Vonk said. With an almost 15-year string of increasing fame and exhibition opportunities, Mr. Dabo stopped to join the Army, serving as an officer in World War I. “His career languished a bit, but by the early 1930s, he was Please see DABO on B2

Broccoli sprouts One of the healthiest foods in existence, these petite broccoli sprouts are crisp, with very pleasing notes of broccoli, earthy and slightly peppery. They are excellent when added to a sandwich or used to top a salad. Add them over your tacos, top over chilled soups, or use to garnish fish preparations. They add that perfect finishing touch. Broccoli sprouts are grown by Ojai Micro-greens and are available at the Saturday Santa Barbara, Sunday Camino Real, Tuesday Santa Barbara, Wednesday Solvang and Thursday Carpinteria farmers’ markets. Price averages $4 per bag.

his time of year I focus quite a bit on two general categories of produce: citrus and members of the Brassicaceae vegetable family. Both are incredibly diverse and are in their true season during the winter and spring. When it comes to the Brassicaceae vegetables, it is often surprising that there is a familial connection between the individual items that include the likes of radishes, broccoli, cauliflower, mustard greens, Brussels sprouts, kale, collard greens and turnips. Some are consumed for their leafy greens, while others are more of a root vegetable. And, of course, broccoli and cauliflower are enjoyed for their stems and florets. Another member of the Brassicaceae family that would initially appear not to be a fit is the bright white daikon radish root. Ranging in length from about 8-20 inches depending on their stage of maturity, daikon radishes grow below the earth’s surface in a similar fashion to that of carrots. However, unlike carrots where the tops are discarded, daikon radish tops are edible, possessing a rustic texture with notes of spicy mustard green throughout. The root itself is quite heavy for its size, much due to its moist center. With a very pleasing crisp and snappy texture, daikon delivers

a relatively mild flavor with subtle notes of sweet and peppery throughout. Daikon radishes can be enjoyed both raw or cooked. When cooked, the root takes on a soft potato-like texture and milder flavor than when in its raw state. I most commonly shred my daikon and mix it into my leafy green or cabbage preparations. Occasionally I will add them to my roasted vegetable trays or stirfry’s. Another great use for daikon is to pickle or ferment the root, either sliced into rounds, thin sticks, or shredded. There are hundreds of variations you can put together when pickling or fermenting daikon using an array of seasonings, herbs, garlic cloves, and other produce additions such as peppers, carrots, beets and cauliflower. This week I prepared a quick pickled daikon and red onion dish. I cut my daikon into rounds this time, but often shred my daikon and combine with carrots for another twist.

In a pot, add water and turn to high heat and add sugar. Add vinegar and salt and mix until the sugar is dissolved. Add your daikon, red onion, and garlic cloves to sterile jars, and add hot pickling liquid to each jar. Screw on the lid and let sit for a couple of hours before transferring to the refrigerator. They are best after refrigerated for at least an hour. The pickled daikon then can be enjoyed out of the jar over the next couple of weeks.

Dignity Health will host a free Colorectal Cancer Educational Session via Zoom at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. The speaker is Dr. Lin Soe, who works in hematology/medical oncology. His talk is part of Colon Cancer Awareness Month. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in the United States, affecting men and women of all races. To register for the talk, call Dignity Health at 805-542-6234. More than 75 % of colon and rectal cancers occur in individuals with no known risk factors, and

they often begin with no symptoms. Dignity Health Central Coast stresses the need for regular screenings. A colonoscopy is the only test available to detect and at the same time remove colon polyps. This is important because most colorectal cancers begin as benign polyps, Dignity Health noted in a news release. Both men and women are equally at risk for colon cancer, and the risk of developing colorectal cancer increases with age. Dignity Health said screening tests for colorectal cancer should begin soon after turning 45 and

continue at regular intervals or at the recommendation of a physician. (The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force also recommends starting screenings at age 45.) Although colorectal cancer is most common among people 50 and older, recent data shows that 10.5% of colorectal cancers occur in people between the ages of 45 and 49. Most colon cancers appear in individuals with no known risk factors, Dignity Health said. Dignity Health is the parent company of Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria. — Dave Mason

Thought for Today

CODEWORD PUZZLE

ARIES — You might have planned an exciting evening with friends or your current love interest, but you have to postpone it due to forces beyond your control. This could prove both disappointing and frustrating, Aries, but there won’t be much you can do about it. Just reschedule and plan something else for tonight. TAURUS — Upsetting events in the neighborhood might have family members in a funk. This could be something major like construction crews tearing up the streets, or something as minor as a bout of bad weather. No matter, Taurus, it’s going to make your lives a bit more difficult for a while, but you’ll have to bear with it. In the meantime, try to cheer everyone up by throwing an impromptu party. This always works! GEMINI — Today you might hear a rather distressing rumor about one or more people you know or perhaps about your working situation. Don’t be surprised if more than one person phones or emails to fill you in on this. However, Gemini, this information might not be dependable. It could be based on innuendo or even outright lies. CANCER — Personal or professional projects you’ve been working on might be moving a bit more slowly than you’re comfortable with today, Cancer. You may wonder if this is because you aren’t doing something right. This probably isn’t the case. It’s no doubt just a normal lag in the energy, which should pick up again tomorrow. LEO — Today you might feel stifled by your current situation. Perhaps you’re thinking of changing jobs or professions, or maybe you’re considering moving to a more exotic place. These all might be good ideas, Leo, but today isn’t the day to make any definite decisions or even consider your options. You aren’t in an objective frame of mind. VIRGO — Attempts to master a new computer program or other form of high-tech equipment could seem to be going nowhere, Virgo. You might tend to doubt your ability and thus feel very frustrated. However, keep at it. You aren’t beyond all help! Nothing more than a little focus, concentration, and dogged persistence is required.

LIBRA — The rapid level of growth that you’ve probably been experiencing could suddenly prove too much for you today, Libra. You might need to take a little breather to grasp what’s happening in your life. New friends, new knowledge, and new opportunities have appeared in profusion, but you could still be feeling a bit down, wondering if you can handle it all. SCORPIO — The energy that has propelled you forward for the past several weeks might seem to lag a bit today, causing you momentary panic that your progress won’t continue. As a result, you could be feeling a bit blue. Don’t fall into this trap, Scorpio. The pace has been so fast that it had to slow down sometime. It will pick up again, and you’ll have had time to catch your breath. Hang in there! SAGITTARIUS — Today you might experience a slight (and very temporary) dark night of the soul, Sagittarius. You could take a long look at your life and, even though you’re doing well, still feel that you aren’t yet where you want to be. Spiritually, you might doubt the traditional views you’ve questioned and still wonder about new concepts you’ve adopted. CAPRICORN — A group with which you’re affiliated could be excited about a course of action that you might not feel is wise now, Capricorn. You might inform them of your reservations, but they’re probably too charged up to listen. You could begin to have doubts about goals of your own that may be taking a long time to manifest. Hang in there. AQUARIUS — Plans for getting together with friends or a romantic partner might have to be postponed because of professional responsibilities that need attention. This could prove upsetting, Aquarius, especially since you have to disappoint others, but these things happen. Don’t let it get to you. This will have no lasting effect on any of your relationships. Work hard, get it done, and schedule time for some fun a bit later. PISCES — Your health has been glowing over the past few weeks, Pisces, but today you’re likely to feel a little under the weather. This is probably due to nothing more exotic than stress. You’ve been working hard and concentrating on little else, so your body is now rebelling. You need some rest. Take time off and relax a little, and don’t feel guilty about it.

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.

Parental bill of rights passes in Florida

By BETHANY BLANKLEY

THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR

(The Center Square) — The Florida House of Representatives passed a bill supporters say gives more protections to parents. The bill also would allow parents to sue schools if they violate provisions of the bill. Numerous media outlets and opponents of the bill , including President Joe Biden, claim the bill is “anti-gay,” or uses the words “don’t say gay” to suggest it’s antiLGBTQ. Nearly three weeks ago, the White House issued a statement saying the bill was hateful: “… conservative politicians in Florida advanced legislation designed to attack LGBTQI+ kids. Instead of making growing up harder for young people, (the president) is focused on keeping schools open and supporting students’ mental health.” “I want every member of the LGBTQI+ community — especially the kids who will be impacted by this hateful bill — to know that you are loved and accepted just as you are,” President Biden tweeted. “I have your back, and my Administration will continue to fight for the protections and safety you deserve.” A review of the seven-page bill by The Center Square reveals no such attacking language exists, and the bill never uses the word “gay.” Sponsored by Republicans Speaker Pro Tem Bryan Avila of Miami Springs and Joe Harding of Ocala, the bill would require schools to teach children ageappropriate material and to provide parents access to their children’s records and involve them in the decisions about mental health and other services offered for their children. It would prohibit instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity from being taught to

children in kindergarten through third grade. It also requires that instruction starting at fourth grade and beyond be age and developmentally appropriate. The bill states, “Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.” “I am sure that most parents would agree when we say that 5- and 6-year-olds should not be exposed to sensitive topics in the classroom and that parents should decide when to address those subjects with their child,” House Speaker Chris Sprowls said. “This should not have been controversial, but advocates and their allies spun a false narrative that many bought into.” Critics say misinformation about the bill has gotten so bad that its sponsors published a column to set the record straight, saying, “… let’s address the fact that just about every newspaper headline has called HB 1557 the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill. You know what’s not in any of the bill text? The words ‘gay’ and ‘say.’” The bill also would require school boards to notify parents if there’s a change in their child’s services or monitoring related to their mental, emotional, or physical health and well-being or the school’s ability to provide a safe and supportive learning environment. It also ensures that parents have access to their child’s education and health records. It “empowers parents to play an active and present role in their child’s schooling,” Rep. Harding said. “Nobody knows Florida students better than their parents, and this bill will help them support children in their development.” Democratic Rep. Mike Grieco said the bill attacks LGBTQ

Hawaii to continue mask mandates until at least March 25

people, calling it “an anti-gay bill.” He said those who voted for it can “never ever claim to be an ally of the LGBTQ community” because they are “voting to be an opponent.” Rep. Harding told the Tampa Bay Times, “I want folks that oppose the bill to be really clear on what they’re actually opposing. I want them to go on record to say it’s OK for a 6-year-old to have one identity in school and one at home because the school encourages that kind of behavior.” Florida House Republicans also put out a fact sheet on Twitter, stating, “A lot has been written and said about HB 1557, and most of it is wrong. Here is a fact check on the inaccurate tag line ‘Don’t Say Gay.’” The fact sheet states, “Fiction: The bill bans the word ‘gay’ in classrooms. Fact: Absolutely false; this bill bans classroom instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation in kindergarten through 3rd grade and requires age and developmentally appropriate instruction in accordance with state standards for other grades.” The bill also would stipulate that school districts “may not adopt procedures or student support forms” that ban staff from “notifying a parent about his or her student’s mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being.” Staff also “may not discourage or prohibit parental notification of and involvement in critical decisions affecting a student’s mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being,” the bill states. The bill passed by a vote of 69– 47. It’s companion bill, SB 1834, must also be passed in the state Senate before it can go to Gov. Ron DeSantis to consider. If passed and signed, the new law would be effective in July ahead of the 2022–2023 school year.

(The Center Square) — Hawaii’s indoor mask mandate will remain in place at least until March 25, Gov. David Ige said Tuesday at a news conference. The state is ending its Safe Travels program on that date. The program required all visitors to the state to be fully vaccinated or show a negative COVID-19 test in order to avoid a mandatory quarantine. But Gov. Ige did not guarantee that the indoor mask mandate would end on March 25. “As you may be aware the state of Hawaii is the only statewide public school system, and so we are working with the public schools about mask requirements and COVID protocols in the public schools,” he said. “We’re the only state that runs the jails, and we’re the only state that manages all of the hospitals

(The Center Square) — Anti-tax initiative activist Tim Eyman and Northwest Progressive Institute founder and Executive Director Andrew Villeneuve were passionate in their reactions to the ruling by Douglas County Superior Court Judge Brian Huber that Washington state’s capital gains income tax is unconstitutional.

in the counties as well so our situation in Hawaii is more complex than other areas. And certainly we will be looking at these issues about mask requirements.” Hawaii is the only U.S. state that still has an indoor mandate. Last week the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced new guidelines, saying masks are no longer necessary unless someone lives in an area where hospitals are struggling to keep up, adding that that description means about 70% of Americans can go maskless. Hawaii’s four counties remain in the low- to medium-risk range, based on the CDC’s guidelines. More than 76% percent of Hawaii’s residents are fully vaccinated, according to the state Department of Health. House Minority Whip Val Okimoto asked Gov. Ige in a recent letter to rescind the state’s mask mandate in light of the new

guidelines. “These mandated restrictions have cost a heavy toll on our economy, our communities and the mental well-being of our people and our children,” Rep. Okimoto wrote in her letter. “We no longer need to pay that toll.” Gov. Ige said Tuesday he believes the restrictions, including the Safe Travels program, have saved lives. More than 11.3 million passengers were screened, he said. The mayors of Hawaii’s four counties have either lifted their state of emergency or set an expiration date. But all of them have said residents must still follow the statewide indoor mask mandates. The pandemic is not over but things are improving, Gov. Ige said. “Our hospitals are getting better and better,” he said. “The case counts in hospitals are reducing every day.”
