A LASTING LEGACY Biden

Darrell Darling leaves mark on community through his civil rights activism

SANTA CRUZ >> Karen and
Denise Darling huddled in
their three-generation home
in Santa Cruz to reminisce
about the life of Darrell Dar-
ling, the patriarch of the
family — husband to Karen
and Denise’s father.
Darrell died Feb. 3, but
not before he could leave
a lasting impression on
his community after his 81
years of life. He was one of
four sons to a preacher in Il-
linois, something that would
eventually bring him to his
soulmate, Karen.
The two met when they
were just 12 years old as they
clambered across the mon-
key bars at Longview Park
in Rock Island, Illinois. Dar-
rell’s family had just moved
to town so his father could
serve as the new preacher.
Karen quickly identified
Darrell as “the new kid in
town” and decided to show
him the ropes. That was
just the humble beginning
of a lifelong partnership be-
tween the two midwestern
children.
They married at the age
of 18 on May 7, 1958.
“He and my mom have
been together since they
were 12,” Denise said. “They
are lifelong soulmates and
have been through many
travels and adventures over
Darrell and Karen Darling played their part for the Voting Right Act 50 years ago.
the years.”
The couple’s travels took
them to all 50 states in the
U.S. and 30 countries across
the world. They also found
both Darrell and Karen
participating in important
parts of U.S. history.
Darrell is well known
for his civil rights activism
throughout his life. It be-
gan during his undergradu-
ate years at Western Illinois
University in Macomb, Illi-
nois. Darrell’s Black class-
mates were encouraged to
attend the university, but

were not allowed to live on
campus or even get their

noted.
He raised issues with the
university over the policy.
His advocacy got to the point
that the school threatened to
withhold his diploma if he
didn’t stop, Karen added.

WASHINGTON >> President Joe Biden told Russia’s
Vladimir Putin that invading Ukraine would
cause “widespread human suffering” and that
the West was committed to diplomacy to end
the crisis but “equally prepared for other sce-
narios,” the White House said Saturday. It of-
fered no suggestion that the hourlong call di-
minished the threat of an imminent war in Eu-
rope.
Biden also said the United States and its allies
would respond “decisively and impose swift and
severe costs” if the Kremlin attacked its neigh-
bor, according to the White House.
The two presidents spoke a day after
Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sulli-
van, warned that U.S. intelligence shows a Rus-
sian invasion could begin within days and be-
fore the Winter Olympics in Beijing come to
an end on Feb. 20.

Ukraine
FROM PAGE 1
Russia denies it intends
to invade but has massed
well over 100,000 troops
near the Ukrainian border
and has sent troops to ex-
ercises in neighboring Be-
larus, encircling Ukraine
on three sides. U.S. offi-
cials say Russia’s buildup
of firepower has reached
the point where it could in-
vade on short notice.
The conversation came at
a critical moment for what
has become the biggest se-
curity crisis between Russia
and the West since the Cold
War. U.S. officials believe
they have mere days to pre-
vent an invasion and enor-
mous bloodshed in Ukraine.
And while the U.S. and its
NATO allies have no plans
to send troops to Ukraine
to fight Russia, an invasion
and resulting punishing
sanctions could reverberate
far beyond the former So-
viet republic, affecting en-
ergy supplies, global mar-
kets and the power balance
in Europe.
“President Biden was
clear with President Putin
that while the United States
remains prepared to engage
in diplomacy, in full coordi-
nation with our Allies and
partners, we are equally
prepared for other scenar-
ios,” the White House state-
ment said.

Deaf culture and ASL
have increasingly become
mainstream, showing that
men and woman who have
hearing loss can let their
talent shine if provided
with opportunities. Earlier
this week, two films with
deaf actors earned Oscar
nominations.
“CODA,” a drama that
follows the child of deaf
adults, is nominated for
best picture and best

The U.S. picked up intel-

South Carolina push to be 49th state with hate crime law stalls
By Jeffrey Collins
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. >> It took
South Carolina lawmak-
ers only two months to act
when a female college stu-
dent was kidnapped and
killed by a man posing as
an Uber driver. The Legisla-
ture acted swiftly to prevent
such crimes in the future.
By comparison, state Rep.
Wendell Gilliard says, more
than six years have passed
since the racist murders of
nine African Americans at
the Emanuel AME Church
in Charleston, and the Leg-
islature has yet to take ac-
tion to add punishment
to victims of crimes moti-
vated by bias against a par-
ticular group. That makes
South Carolina one of only
two states — the other be-
ing Wyoming — without a
hate crimes law.
“It was wrong what
happened to that young
woman,” Gilliard said of
the college student. “No-
body should ever meet their
demise in such a way. But
when you look at the Mother
Emanuel Nine, we have this
bill that has been waiting
patiently now for six years.”
The “ Clementa C. Pinck-
ney Hate Crimes Act “ is
named for the pastor who
died in the attack. Pinck-
ney was also a state sena-
tor. The bill would add up
to five years in prison for
someone convicted of mur-
der, assault or other vio-
lent crime fueled by hatred
of the victim’s race, sexual
orientation, gender, religion
or disability.
The bill currently sits
in the Senate. The clock is
ticking. If senators don’t
approve the proposal by
the end of their session in
May, everything goes back
to square one.
“We have great senators
over there,” Gilliard said.
“But now we need them to
stand up. Show a little back-
bone.”
Efforts to pass a hate
crimes law in Wyoming,
where the killing of gay
college student Matthew
Shepard led to the federal
hate crimes law, have re-
peatedly failed including
in 2021. There is no indi-
cation the issue will come
up in the session that starts
Monday.
Arkansas passed a hate
crime law in 2021, although
some advocates for the laws
argue it is too weak to be
considered under the cat-
egory. Georgia passed its
own law in 2020 — four
months after the killing of
Ahmaud Arbery, a Black
man, after three white men
chased him around a neigh-
borhood before cornering
him with a shotgun.
Democratic state Sen.
Marlon Kimpson of Charles-
ton, singling out eight of the
29 Republicans who have
kept the bill from coming
up for debate, asked them
to “dig deep in your heart
to let us have this debate.”
The Charleston Democrat
noted Thursday the Senate
had just spent time debating
a bill on whether to make it
illegal to allow trucks to be
altered so the front is several
inches higher than the rear.
“If we can spend 30 min-
utes debating electric dump
trucks, we can spend some
time debating arguably
one of the most dangerous
crimes that occur,” said
Kimpson, whose district in-
cludes Emanuel AME.
Senate Majority Leader
Shane Massey has said the
hate crimes bill isn’t a pri-
ority for Republicans who
make up all but 16 of the cur-
rent 45 senators. Massey said
the federal hate crimes law
was adequate in prosecuting
the shooter at the Charleston
church, who is currently on
federal death row.
“The way this bill is
drafted, it doesn’t do any-
thing to protect anybody.
It doesn’t make anybody’s
life better,” said Massey, a
Republican from Edgefield.
Other conservatives have
said they worry a hate crime
bill could be used to prose-
cute Christians who speak
out against gay marriage or
other LGBTQ issues.
Proponents of the pro-
posed state law have some
influential backers. Rich-
land County Sheriff Leon
Lott said last year he
wished there was a hate
crime statute in place to
give harsher punishment
to men who exchanged text
messages that said “Let’s go
get some Mexicans tonight”
as they planned 17 robberies
over three weeks targeting
Hispanics — something not
likely to reach the level of a
federal prosecutor.
The state Chamber of
Commerce has said it fears
large companies might not
want to locate or expand in
a state that didn’t show it
valued all people.
“We have to demonstrate
to the world that hate will
not be tolerated here,” Tim
Arnold, chairman of the
state Chamber’s Board of
Directors, told reporters
last year.

Boycott businesses
Darrell also made a point
to boycott businesses in
New Haven, Connecticut,
that refused to serve peo-
ple based on the color of
their skin. When he dis-
covered his barber would
not cut the hair of his Black
friends, he stopped getting
his hair cut.
“Before the hippy season,
my dad had nice long hair,”
Denise said. “That was just
one of the things he could
do to indicate his commit-
ment and support for the
Black community at the
time.”
He also housed a Black
youngster from the south
while he lived in New Ha-
ven in an effort to give the
boy a place to live while he
finished high school. Karen,
and their children, were by
Darrell’s side along every
step of his journey to cre-
ate equal opportunities for
everyone.

Vexation, victory claims as Dems face limits in Senate

By Alan Fram
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON >> With elec-
tions in view and Demo-
crats’ headline domestic bill
in a rut, Sens. Bernie Sand-
ers and Chuck Schumer
have very different takes
on how things are going in
their chamber.
“I know we’re spending
the week dealing with as-
sistant secretaries of some-
thing or other, and that’s
terribly important,” Sand-
ers, the progressive fire-
brand and Vermont in-
dependent, said dryly on
Wednesday.
The Senate confirmed 15
nominees last week for the
Federal Maritime Commis-
sion, judgeships and other
posts.
“It has been a busy, pro-
ductive and truly bipartisan
week here,” Senate Majority
Leader Chuck Schumer said
the next morning. The New
York Democrat cited a sex-
ual harassment bill lawmak-
ers approved minutes later
and progress on addressing
violence against women, the
budget and industrial com-
petitiveness.
The conflicting apprais-
als of how the party is us-
ing its time come as Demo-
crats have run headlong into
the limits of running a 50-
50 Senate with no votes to
spare. It underlines a debate
over how to balance passion
with pragmatism as Demo-
crats court voters before the
November elections, when
Republicans have a real
chance of capturing House
and Senate control.
For some Democrats, it’s
time to draw contrasts with
Republicans by forcing
votes on priorities like help-
ing families afford health
care and combating global
warming. Others see wis-
dom in declaring what vic-
tories they can and avoid-
ing anything that might
complicate efforts to strike
deals with their own party’s
mavericks over broader pri-
orities.
Democrats have just 49
votes for at least the next
few weeks while Sen. Ben
Ray Luján recuperates
from a stroke. Yet even with
the New Mexico Democrat,
goals such as voting rights,
immigration and other is-
sues have faced solid Repub-
lican resistance and fallen
short of the 60 Senate votes
needed to approve most leg-
islation.
For many Democrats, the
big prize would be resusci-
tating a smaller version of
President Joe Biden’s lead
domestic priority: a 10-year,
roughly $2 trillion package
of health care, family ser-
vices and environment ini-
tiatives. Moderate Sen. Joe
Manchin, D-W.Va., effec-
tively killed the measure in
December when he said it
was too costly, but has said
he’s open to a more mod-
est alternative. Democrats
have differing assessments
of how they’ve used Senate
control so far.
“It’s no great secret that
for five months, with the ex-
ception of the infrastruc-
ture bill, we have not been
addressing the needs of the
American people,” Sand-
ers told reporters last week.
Biden signed the bipartisan,
$1 trillion package of road,
water and other projects in
November.
Sanders and Sen. Amy
Klobuchar, D-Minn., said
they want the Senate to
vote on curbing pharmaceu-
tical prices, one of the side-
lined bill’s popular elements.
Sanders said he would like
votes on several of that mea-
sure’s components, and let
Republican opponents ex-
plain their votes to constit-
uents. Americans are “out-
raged” that with rising infla-
tion, the pandemic, climate
change and other problems,
“their elected officials are
simply not responding,”
Sanders said on the Senate
floor.
Democrats “spent Biden’s
period of maximum political
capital basically just waiting
around” for an agreement
that never came on the so-
cial and environment bill,
lamented Adam Jentleson,
a progressive strategist and
former top Senate aide. Pres-
idents often have the most
momentum in the first year
or two after taking office.

COURTS

In 2nd trial on Floyd’s death, judge seeks speed, not emotion

By Steve Karnowski
The Associated Press
ST. PAUL, MINN. >> When a
witness to George Floyd’s
killing choked up while
testifying during the trial
of three former Minneapo-
lis police officers, U.S. Dis-
trict Judge Paul Magnuson
quickly stepped in, grant-
ing a defense attorney’s re-
quest for a sidebar that de-
fused the moment.
It was an example of
how the 84-year-old judge
has exerted a tight grip on
proceedings, occasionally
frustrating prosecutors
with his determination
to keep emotion to a min-
imum and move the case
against Tou Thao, J. Alex-
ander Kueng and Thomas
Lane forward as quickly as
possible amid a pandemic.
Through three weeks
of testimony, Magnuson
has been quick to cut off
attorneys when he thinks
they’ve gone too far —
sometimes with a curt, “No
thank you,” or even just a
firm, “No,” to requests for
time-consuming sidebars.
He has admonished them
to cooperate on routine
matters such as replaying
videos, ordered them to re-
duce their planned exhibits
and questioned how many
witnesses they need.
The judge also sped jury
selection along in a single
day — a sharp contrast to
the more than two weeks
it took to seat a jury in the
state trial in which for-
mer Officer Derek Chauvin
was convicted of murder in
Floyd’s death. His desire
for speed amid the pan-
demic was brought home
when one defendant tested
positive for the virus, halt-
ing the trial for three days.
Thao, Lane and Kueng
are charged with willfully
depriving Floyd of his con-
stitutional rights while
acting under color of law.
Chauvin — the white offi-
cer who pinned Floyd un-
der his knee for 9 1/2 min-
utes while the Black man
was handcuffed, facedown
— pleaded guilty to a civil
rights count in December.
The federal trial is play-
ing out much more quietly
than Chauvin’s state trial,
in part because of Mag-
nuson’s refusal to allow
livestreaming. The state
trial did, allowing viewers
worldwide the ability to
follow testimony in a kill-
ing that triggered global
protests and a reexamina-
tion of racism and policing.
Structural differences are
also playing a part.
Floyd’s girlfriend, Cour-
teney Ross, provided some
of the most compelling tes-
timony in Chauvin’s trial
as she painted a portrait
of a warm and good man SCOTT TAKUSHI — PIONEER PRESS

GOP pushes US schools to post all class materials online

By Julie Carr Smyth
and Casey Smith
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, OHIO >> Republi-
can state lawmakers across
the U.S. are trying to require
schools to post all course
materials online so par-
ents can review them, part
of a broader national push
by the GOP for a sweeping
parents bill of rights ahead
of the midterm congressio-
nal elections.
At least one proposal
would give parents with no
expertise power over curric-
ulum choices. Parents also
could file complaints about
certain lessons and in some
cases sue school districts.
Teachers say parents al-
ready have easy access to
what their children learn.
They worry that the man-
dates would create an un-
necessary burden and po-
tentially threaten their pro-
fessional independence
— all while dragging them
into a culture war.
The bill “insinuates
there’s some hiding hap-
pening,” said Katie Peters, a
high school English teacher
in Toledo. “It makes me a lit-
tle defensive, because I’m
like — no, wait a minute,
we’re not hiding anything.
The transparency is always
there, and the parents who
have cared to look have al-
ways had access.”
The bills arose from last
year’s debate over the teach-
ing of race, diversity and
sexuality. The GOP insists
the changes are needed to
give parents a measure of
control over what their chil-
dren see and hear in class.
“I don’t think anybody

disagrees that more infor-
mation is better for parents,”
said Brett Hillyer, a Repub-
lican state representative in
Ohio who is co-sponsoring
such a bill. He said the pro-
posal could quell disagree-
ments between parents,
teachers and school boards
before they get too far.
Educators don’t take is-
sue with keeping parents in-
formed, but they see a risk
that the so-called curricu-
lum-transparency require-
ments will invite censor-
ship, professional burnout
and resignations.

The Ohio teachers said
parents of older children
occasionally pull a student
from class — say, when evo-
lution or the Big Bang is be-
ing taught in science — or
request an alternate assign-
ment when offended by a se-
lected reading, and those
interactions generally go
smoothly.
“That’s the thing that this
law misses. It’s painted as
broad-swath, as if there are
these improprieties going
on,” said Dan Greenberg,
who teaches high school
English in the Toledo sub-
urb of Sylvania. “You’re
talking to people who are
right there in the trenches,
and we always have a really
good partnership with par-
ents.”
The GOP acted after
conservatives complained
about public schools’ re-
sponses to the COVID-19
pandemic and the racial
reckoning that followed the
death of George Floyd, the
Black man killed by a white
Minneapolis police officer in
2020. Some states and local
school boards have banned
books about race relations,
slavery and gender.
The Ohio teachers say the
Republican efforts could ul-
timately erode their ability
to make professional judg-
ments and stifle the sponta-
neity that brings their class-
rooms to life, while adding
to workloads that have al-
ready taken a serious toll on
school staffing.
“I’m worried it’s sort of a
Trojan horse to get into the
classroom to pick through
what they see and point us
in different directions or
stop us from doing things,”
said Robert Estice, a mid-
dle school science and crit-
ical thinking teacher in
the Columbus suburb of
Worthington.
Emerson Sykes, a staff at-
torney at the ACLU Speech,
Privacy and Technology
Project, called the bills
“thinly veiled attempts at
chilling teachers and stu-
dents from learning and
talking about race and gen-
der in schools.”
Hillyer said he does not
intend for parents to be able
to censor school materials.
The proposed parents
bill of rights calls for ac-
cess to classroom materials
and academic, medical and
safety records, as well as
certain entry privileges to
school buildings and more.
An effort last year to politi-
cize normally sleepy school
board races was consid-
ered by some as a dress re-
hearsal to drive 2022 turn-
out among Republicans.
Chris Rufo, a senior fel-
low at the conservative
Manhattan Institute who is
pushing curriculum trans-
parency, said in a Twitter
message last month that
the proposals will “bait the
Left” into appearing to op-
pose transparency. He said
that will raise the question
of what Democrats have to
hide — which will help Re-
publican candidates.
“The strategy here is to
use a non-threatening, lib-
eral value — ‘transparency’
— to force ideological ac-
tors to undergo public scru-
tiny,” Rufo tweeted, explain-
ing that the GOP proposals
will “give parents a power-
ful check on bureaucratic
power.”

DEMONSTRATION POLITICS

Canada border blockade eases One eye on midterms,

but protesters still block bridge
By Rob Gillies and
Mike Householder
The Associated Press
WINDSOR, ONTARIO >> A WASHINGTON >>
tense standoff at a U.S.-
Canadian border bridge
eased somewhat Saturday
after Canadian police per-
suaded demonstrators to
move the trucks they had
used to barricade the busy
international crossing. But
protesters still blocked ac-
cess as night approached,
snarling traffic and trade
between the two countries
for a sixth day.
Since Monday, dem-
onstrators angry at CO-
VID-19 vaccine mandates
and Prime Minister Jus-
tin Trudeau have choked
off access from the Cana-
dian side of the Ambassa-
dor Bridge linking Detroit
and Windsor, Ontario, a
major thoroughfare for
commerce.
Surrounded by dozens of
officers, a man with “Man-
date Freedom” and “Trump
2024” spray-painted on his
vehicle left the bridge en-
trance early in the day
as others began disman-
tling a small, tarp-covered
encampment. A trucker
honked his horn as he, too,
drove off, to cheers and
chants of “Freedom!”
But hundreds more pro-
testers arrived to reinforce
the crowd and settled into
a faceoff with police about
two blocks away, waving
flags and yelling. While
there were no visible phys-
ical confrontations, the
crowd still controlled the
road to the bridge, and traf-
fic had not resumed by late
afternoon.
In Ottawa, the ranks of
protesters swelled to the
thousands as they have on
past weekends, and loud
music played as people
milled about downtown
where anti-vaccine protest-
ers have been encamped
since late January. Hun-
Police look on as a protest vehicle leaves a demonstration in Windsor, Ontario, on
Saturday.
dreds also turned out for a
counter-protest, with one
carrying a sign that read,
“Honk if vaccines work.”
The demonstrations at
the bridge, in Ottawa and
elsewhere have reverber-
ated outside the country,
with similarly inspired con-
voys in France, New Zea-
land and the Netherlands,
and the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security warned
that truck protests may be
in the works in the United
States.
Trudeau has called the
protesters a “fringe” of Ca-
nadian society.
Windsor police tweeted
that no one had been ar-
rested but urged people to
stay away from the bridge:
“We appreciate the cooper-
ation of the demonstrators
at this time and we will
continue to focus on re-
solving the demonstration
peacefully. Avoid area!”
Protester Daniel Koss
said shortly before police
advanced Saturday morn-
ing that the demonstration
had succeeded in bringing

attention to demands to lift
COVID-19 mandates and
he was happy it remained
peaceful.
“It’s a win-win,” Koss
said. “The pandemic is roll-
ing down right now, they
can remove the mandates,
all the mandates, and ev-
eryone’s happy. The govern-
ment does the right thing,
and the protesters are all
happy.”
A judge on Friday or-
dered an end to the block-
ade of mostly pickup trucks
and cars, and Ontario Pre-
mier Doug Ford declared a
state of emergency allow-
ing for fines of 100,000 Ca-
nadian dollars and up to
one year in jail for anyone
illegally blocking roads,
bridges, walkways and
other critical infrastruc-
ture.
“The illegal blockades
are impacting trade, sup-
ply chains & manufactur-
ing. They’re hurting Cana-
dian families, workers &
businesses. Glad to see the
Windsor Police & its polic-
ing partners commenced

Federal Innovation Min-
ister Francois-Philippe
Champagne tweeted Sat-
urday. “These blockades
must stop.”
The Ambassador Bridge
is the busiest U.S.-Canadian
border crossing, carrying
25% of all trade between
the two countries, and auto
plants on both sides have
been forced to shut down
or reduce production this
week. The standoff came at
a time when the industry is
already struggling to main-
tain production in the face
of pandemic-induced short-
ages of computer chips and
other supply-chain disrup-
tions.

son declared a state of

Dems ease up on
approach to virus
By Zeke Miller
and Will Weissert
The Associated Press
“People
are tired,” Georgia Sen.
Raphael Warnock says in
the opening ad for his re-
election campaign.
There’s not a face mask
to be seen in the Demo-
crat’s video montage of
scenes across Georgia, as
he goes on to say people
who are “wondering when
things will get back to
normal, and at the same
time not knowing what
normal even means any-
more.”
The ad reflects a shift-
ing narrative on CO-
VID-19 restrictions across
the country: Democrats
are now increasingly sup-
portive of easing man-
dates as they struggle to
address voter frustration
with the lingering pan-
demic.
They’re hoping a shift
in policy could serve to
blunt incoming politi-
cal attacks with the mid-
term elections — when
control of Congress is at
stake — now less than
nine months away. But
their appeals for a return
to normalcy, both in sym-
bols and practice, are put-
ting new pressure on Pres-
ident Joe Biden.
More than a year after
he was sworn into office
pledging to bring about
an end to the pandemic,
the virus’ persistence has
taken a toll on Biden’s ap-
proval in the midterm
election year as COVID-19
restrictions and mask-
wearing requirements
move to the forefront of
the nation’s culture wars.
After months of spar-
ring with Republican gov-
ernors for standing in the
way of public health mea-
sures like face-coverings
and social distancing, the
sudden shift on the part of
Democrats in recent days
has caught White House
officials off guard and left
them seemingly out of
sync with their own party.
While the Centers for
Disease Control and Pre-
vention continues to rec-
ommend indoor masking
in more than 99% of the
country, even Democratic
states from New York to
California began easing
mandates for the pub-
lic, and New Jersey an-
nounced plans to roll back
its face-covering require-
ment in schools.
“Some people may call
what’s happening now
the ‘new normal,’” Biden
said last month, acknowl-
edging the frustrations.
“I call it a job not yet fin-
ished.”
Yet Biden, even some
members of his own party
contend, isn’t moving
swiftly enough to finish
the job. Governors in both
parties have appealed to
the federal government
for new, clearer guidelines
as COVID-19 becomes en-
demic and less of a public
health emergency.
Administration officials
for the first time this past
week allowed that they
have been working on
new guidelines for the
“next phase” of the pan-
demic response, but those
are still weeks away.
“We understand where
the emotions of the coun-
tr y are,” press secre-
tary Jen Psaki said this
week. “People are tired of
masks.”
But she noted it wasn’t
universal. “If you look at
the polling though, there’s
also a huge chunk of peo-
ple who still want masks.
Right? So, it’s not even
that specific.”
She said Biden remains
committed to his prom-
ise, stretching back to
the campaign, to “listen to
scientists, listen to data.”

Afghans protest US move to unfreeze $3.5B for 9/11 victims

By Kathy Gannon
The Associated Press
KABUL , AFGHANISTAN >>
Demonstrators in Afghan-
istan’s capital on Satur-
day condemned President
Joe Biden’s order freeing
up $3.5 billion in Afghan
assets held in the U.S. for
families of America’s Sept.
11 victims — saying the
money belongs to Afghans.
Protesters who gathered
outside Kabul’s grand Eid
Gah mosque asked Amer-
ica for financial compen-
sation for the tens of thou-
sands of Afghans killed dur-
ing the last 20 years of war
in Afghanistan.
Biden’s order, signed Fri-
day, allocates another $3.5
billion in Afghan assets for
humanitarian aid to a trust
fund to be managed by the
U.N. to provide aid to Af-
ghans. The country’s econ-
omy is teetering on the
brink of collapse after in-
ternational money stopped
coming into Afghanistan
with the arrival in mid-Au-
gust of the Taliban.
Afghanistan’s Central
Bank called on Biden to re-
verse his order and release
the funds to it, saying in

against the Taliban and the
$7 billion in the U.S. bank-
ing system. Courts would
have to sign off before the
release of humanitarian as-
sistance money and decide
whether to tap the frozen
funds for paying out those
claims.
In all, Afghanistan has
about $9 billion in assets
overseas, including the $7
billion in the United States.
The rest is mostly in Ger-
many, the United Arab
Emirates and Switzerland.
“What about our Afghan
people who gave many sac-
rifices and thousands of
losses of lives?” asked the
demonstration’s organizer,
Abdul Rahman, a civil so-
ciety activist.
Rahman said he planned
to organize more demon-
strations across the capi-
tal to protest Biden’s order.
“This money belongs to the
people of Afghanistan, not
to the United States. This
is the right of Afghans,” he
said.
Misspelled placards in
English accused the United
States of being cruel and of
stealing the money of Af-
ghans.
Taliban political spokes-
man Mohammad Naeem
accused the Biden admin-
istration in a tweet late Fri-
day of showing “the lowest
level of humanity ... of a
country and a nation.”
Biden’s Friday order gen-
erated a social media storm
with Twitter saying #USAs-
tolemoneyfromafghan was
trending among Afghans.
Tweets repeatedly pointed
out that the 9/11 hijackers
were Saudi nationals, not
Afghans.
Obaidullah Baheer, a lec-
turer at the American Uni-
versity in Afghanistan and
a social activist, tweeted:
“Let’s remind the world that
#AfghansDidntCommit911
and that #BidenStealin-
gAfgMoney!”
Al-Qaeda leader Osama
bin Laden was brought to
Afghanistan by Afghan
warlords after being ex-
pelled from Sudan in 1996.
Those same warlords would
later ally with the U.S.-led
coalition to oust the Taliban
in 2001. However, it was
Taliban leader Mullah Mo-
hammad Omar who refused
to hand over bin Laden to
the U.S. after the devastat-
ing 9/11 attacks that killed
thousands.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

US aims to counter China by opening Solomon Islands embassy

By Nick Perry
The Associated Press
WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND
>>The U.S. says it will open
an embassy in the Solomon
Islands, laying out in un-
usually blunt terms a plan
to increase its influence
in the South Pacific na-
tion before China becomes
“strongly embedded.”
The reasoning was ex-
plained in a State Depart-
ment notification to Con-
gress that was obtained by
The Associated Press.
The plan was confirmed
by U.S. Secretary of State
Antony Blinken during a
Saturday visit to Fiji, part
on a Pacific tour that began
in Australia. Blinken later
landed in Hawaii, where
he will host the foreign
ministers from Japan and
South Korea to discuss the
threat posed by North Ko-
rea, amid rising concerns
over its recent missile tests.
The State Department
said Solomon Islanders
cherished their history with
Americans on the battle-
fields of World War II, but
that the U.S. was in danger
of losing its preferential
ties as China “aggressively
seeks to engage” elite pol-
iticians and business peo-
ple in the Solomon Islands.
The move comes after ri-
oting rocked the nation of
700,000 in November. The
riots grew from a peaceful
protest and highlighted
long-simmering regional
rivalries, economic prob-
lems and concerns about
the country’s increasing
links with China, after it
switched allegiance from
the self-ruled island of Tai-
wan to Beijing three years
ago. Rioters set fire to
buildings and looted stores.
Solomon Islands Prime
Minister Manasseh Soga-
vare survived a no-confi-
dence vote the following
month, telling lawmakers
in a fiery 90-minute speech
that he’d done nothing
wrong and would not bow
down to “the forces of evil”
or to “Taiwan’s agents.”
The U.S. previously op-
erated an embassy in the
Solomons for five years be-
fore closing it in 1993. Since
then, U.S. diplomats from
neighboring Papua New
Guinea have been accred-
ited to the Solomons, which
has a U.S. consular agency.
The embassy announce-
ment fits with a new Biden
administration strategy for
the Indo-Pacific that was
announced Friday and em-
phasizes building partner-
ships with allies in the re-
gion as a way to counter
China’s growing influence
and ambitions.
In its notification to Con-
gress, the State Depart-
ment said China had been
“utilizing a familiar pat-
tern of extravagant prom-
ises, prospective costly in-
frastructure loans, and po-
tentially dangerous debt
levels,” when engaging
with political and business
leaders from the Solomon
Islands.
“The United States has
a strategic interest in en-
hancing our political, eco-
nomic, and commercial re-
lationship with Solomon
Islands, the largest Pacific
Island nation without a U.S.
Embassy,” the State Depart-
ment wrote.
The State Department
said it didn’t expect to
build a new embassy im-
mediately but would at
first lease space at an ini-
tial set-up cost of $12.4 mil-
lion. The embassy would be
located in the capital, Honi-
ara, and would start small,
with two U.S. employees
and about five local staff.
The State Department
said the Peace Corps was
planning to reopen an of-
fice in the Solomon Islands
and have its volunteers
serve there, and that sev-
eral U.S. agencies were es-
tablishing government po-
sitions with portfolios in
the Solomons.
“The Department needs
to be part of this increased
U.S. presence, rather than
remaining a remote player,”
it wrote.

Guest Commentary Cartoonist’s take

In Memoriam,
Darrell Darling
By Mike Rotkin
and seven others
On February 3, 2022, the
Santa Cruz community and
the world lost a true hero.
Born May 7, 1940, Darrell Dar-
ling, with his wife Karen,
played a huge role over a pe-
riod of many decades with po-
litical and social justice causes
in Santa Cruz and beyond.
Perhaps uniquely in our often-
divided progressive commu-
nity, Darrell and Karen were
able to bridge those divisions,
demonstrating and earning re-
spect from a wide range of ac-
tivists who otherwise often
found it hard to work together.
Darrell and Karen, together
first as childhood sweethearts,
were a devoted team through-
out their many years together.
They moved to Santa Cruz
from Davis in 1978, when Dar-
rell took a position with the
United Methodist Church on
California Street. He retired
from ministry in 1984 to run
the Darling House bed and
breakfast inn with Karen. The
house on West Cliff Drive was
the iconic center of progressive
politics in Santa Cruz County
for more than three decades,
hosting countless meetings,
fundraisers, and celebrations.
Guest speakers included Hill-
ary Clinton, Harry Belafonte,
and others from national and
international struggles.
When Darrell was a semi-
nary student at Yale in 1965,
he saw a flier with the words
of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. pleading for help to
pass the federal Voting Rights
Act. At the age of 24, Darrell
traveled to Selma, Ala., and
joined others on the Edmund
Pettus Bridge, the scene of
what is now known as “Bloody
Sunday,” marked by vicious
beatings of civil rights activ-
ists during a march for voting
rights. The televised attacks
generated nationwide pub-
lic support for the activists in
Selma and for the voting rights
campaign, leading to President
Johnson signing the Voting
Act into law later that year.
On the Voting Act’s 50th an-
niversary in 2015, Darrell told
the Santa Cruz Sentinel, “It just
struck me, I can’t turn away. I
knew this was something that
really wasn’t negotiable.”
Darrell returned to the
bridge, now a National His-
toric Landmark, for an anni-
versary march three years ago.
Talking to Sen. Cory Booker,
Darrell mentioned that he
had been there in 1965. Sen.
Booker grabbed Darrell’s arm
and marched with him, side
by side. The photograph ap-
peared on the front page of
The New York Times.
Darrell and Karen’s ongoing
commitment to peace and jus-
tice and their emphasis on in-
clusive engagement in the Dem-
ocratic Party at all levels was
unsurpassed, covering a broad
range of issues. They supported
activist organizations like the
NAACP and the Resource Cen-
ter for Nonviolence (RCNV.)
They established a scholarship
fund at Monterey Institute of In-
ternational Studies (now Mid-
dlebury) in memory of their son
Adam, who had volunteered for
the Bill Clinton campaign, then
secured a position with Secre-
tary of Commerce Ron Brown.
Adam died tragically with mem-
bers of a Commerce delegation
when their plane crashed near
Dubrovnik in 1996.
First Lady Hillary Clin-
ton traveled to Santa Cruz to
speak at Adam’s memorial ser-
vice. Standing at the podium
of the Methodist Church where
Darrell had served as pastor,
she spoke from the heart and
delivered a very personal and
compelling eulogy, while Dar-
rell played the role of “con-
soler” for many of Adam’s
young friends who also came
to California for the memorial.
Despite their personal losses,
Darrell and Karen continued
to engage, participate, and lead
in the city and county of Santa
Cruz. Darrell’s soft-spoken de-
meanor, ever-present smile, and
always honest presentation of
his positions characterized the
best in civic engagement and
respect for all people. We will
miss Darrell as our thoughts
and condolences are directed to
Karen, daughter Denise Wyld-
bore and son-in-law James
Campbell, and granddaughter
Kylie and her husband Gabriel.
He is preceded in death by his
beloved sons, Matthew and
Adam. We are confident that
Darrell’s spirit and legacy will
live strong with all who knew
and loved him.
Darrell Darling: Presente!

Groups renew push for health equity
Money left out of the
state budget last year
By Jesse Bedayn
jbedayn@bayareanewsgroup.com
Nonprofit health clinics, tribal
organizations and other commu-
nity groups are renewing their
push for a $100 million per year
health equity and racial justice
fund after Gov. Gavin Newsom
left it out of the state budget last
year.
Democratic lawmakers had in-
cluded the fund in their version
of the state budget last year as
MAYOR’S MESSAGE
Capitola has
big plans
for 2022
Thank you to the Sentinel for
the opportunity to introduce
myself and to let you know how
2022 is shaping up
for Capitola. I was
honored to be ap-
pointed mayor for
2022 and thank
the residents of
Capitola for this
opportunity to
serve.
Here’s wishing
everyone an excel-
lent start to the
new year.
Also, as we begin Black His-
tory month, I challenge each
of us to learn more about the
black experience in Santa Cruz
County, both present and past.
I am hopeful that 2022 is the
year that we finally defeat CO-
VID-19 in all its variants and
we are able to get back to some
sense of normalcy. The data
is starting to look promising,
but we should not let down our
guard yet. When normal does
come, it will carry forward some
of the lessons and tools we have
used to cope during the pan-
demic.
For Capitola, I look forward to
getting back to in-person coun-
cil meetings. When we return to
live council chambers, we will
continue to provide zoom and
webhosting so members of the
public will have multiple ways to
observe and contribute to Cap-
itola governance. And there are
many things happening in Cap-
itola in 2022 for the public to
weigh in on.
This will be the year that Cap-
itola establishes permanent out-
side dining in the village. In re-
sponse to the pandemic, the city
and local restaurants worked to-
gether to move dining outside
into parking spaces and side-
walks. In Capitola village, los-
ing parking spaces is a big deal.
However, the parklets have been
popular and have served us well.
So the city will be completing
plans for permanent dining par-
klets. 25 parking spaces in Cap-
itola village will be set aside for
use for outdoor dining.
The city will complete pro-
totype designs that the restau-
rants may use to build attrac-
tive and safe parklets. Our goal
is to have these designs com-
pleted and permits available to
the restaurants to open by sum-
mer 2022.
Removing parking spaces cre-
ates a challenge for village res-
idents and employees so the
council will review our village
parking programs. The goal is
to encourage and incentivize
greater use of the parking lots

part of a broader public health
package focused on reducing ra-
cial disparities. Supporters noted
how COVID-19 has exacerbated
long-standing health inequities
with a disproportionate number
of Black and Latino residents ex-
periencing higher rates of illness
and death.
But even as Newsom autho-
rized $300 million per year in
new funding for state and local
public health departments, the fi-
nal budget left out the health eq-

TWIN LAKES STATE BEACH
CLOUDS OFFER
TIME TO REFLECT
Clouds are reflected in the water standing between Schwan Lake and the Monterey Bay on
Twin Lakes State Beach. According to the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History website,
“Schwan Lake was once a lagoon that connected to the ocean and is named after Jacob
Schwan, an immigrant from Germany who owned and farmed on the land in the 1860s. In
the 1880s the lagoon had bridges and a railroad trestle crossing over it. After the construc-
tion of East Cliff Drive in the 1930s, the lagoon was blocked from the ocean. This caused
it to seasonally dry up and become very smelly. In 1977, a weir gate was installed so now
the lagoon is a lake and never dries up. A weir gate is like a dam but it allows water to flow
over the top of it once the lake reaches a certain water level.”

OUR OCEAN BACKYARD
The Earth
continues
to heat up
All of us at one time or an-
other have no doubt experienced
the unpleasant surprise of open-
ing up the car
door on a very hot
day, a car with the
windows rolled up
nice and tight, and
having the some-
times-painful ex-
perience of sit-
ting down on a
very hot seat and
grabbing onto a very hot steer-
ing wheel. Simply put, this is the
greenhouse effect. It occurs be-
cause of some fairly basic phys-
ics.
When sunlight or short wave-
length solar radiation enters
your automobile through the
windows, no matter what kind
of car you drive, it warms up
the interior — the seats, dash-
board, and steering wheel. As
they warm, they give off long
wave back radiation, which can-
not pass through the windows,
so your car heats up.
In fact, it can heat up a lot
and it is not a safe place to leave
small children or pets. Glass
houses, where lots of winter veg-
etables are grown, as well as
many cut flowers locally, bene-
fit from the same greenhouse ef-
fect.
Certain molecules in the at-
mosphere, mostly carbon diox-
ide, methane, nitrous oxide, and
certain fluorinated gases, cre-
ate the same greenhouse effect
for the Earth. Incoming solar
radiation from an astonishing
93 million miles away, warms
the Earth’s surface, which then
emits long-wave back radiation
into space; but these particular
molecules act like the glass win-
dows in your car and trap that
back radiation. This warms up
the planet.
These molecules all occur nat-
urally in the atmosphere, and
we should all be thankful for
their presence. As a result of
these natural greenhouse gases,
the average global temperature
prior to the industrial revolu-
tion, was about 56° Fahrenheit.
SHMUEL THALER — SANTA CRUZ SENTINEL Without these greenhouse gases,
our average global temperature
would be much colder, about 0°
Fahrenheit, making the planet
a much less comfortable habitat
for us humans.
With the advent of the Indus-
trial Revolution, which started
with the burning of coal but
which soon included oil and nat-
ural gas, the amount of green-
house gases in our atmosphere,
dominated by carbon dioxide
and methane, slowly began to

Road work scheduled for Highway 9

A construction project to extend the Sidehill Viaduct
and to provide permanent restoration of a section of
Highway 9 continues next week, according to a release
from Caltrans.
The project is on Highway 9 between Boulder Creek
and Ben Lomond and three-tenths of a mile south of
Western Avenue.
The next phase of this project involves construction
of a temporary signal system which will provide long-
term one-way traffic control. During this phase, for the
next two weeks, drivers will encounter one-way revers-
ing traffic control from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Fri-
day on Highway 9. Drivers can expect a delay of up to
10 minutes. CAPITOLA HISTORICAL MUSEUM

Dear Bill,
SANTA CRUZ
As beneficiaries of an
irrevocable trust, the
trustee is legally obli-
gated to provide you a
copy of the entire terms of
the trust, at no cost. The
trustee was supposed to
provide you a notice pur-
suant to California Pro-
bate Code section 16061.7
within 60 days of your
stepfather’s death telling
you this.
Having said that, we
find it hard to believe that
the lawyer representing
the trustee is telling you
that it’ll cost you $1,000
for a copy of the trust
document. This sounds
more like a demand from
trustee who thinks that
he or she gets to make
the rules. Our best guess
is that the $1,000 is a
fee quote from a lawyer
the trustee consulted for
some trust administration
work and that the trustee
thinks, incorrectly, that
you ought to pay for it.
The trustee is required
to provide an account-
ing to all of the beneficia-
ries presently entitled to
distributions of trust in-
come or principal. And
by “accounting” we don’t
mean a simple financial
statement. We mean a for-
mal accounting follow-
ing the rules of the court
which is really an exer-
cise in double-entry book-
keeping that most peo-
ple don’t know how to do
themselves. This account-
ing usually runs from the
date-of-death to the dis-
tribution of the trust as-
sets. An accounting can
be avoided if all of the
beneficiaries agree, but
your trustee isn’t creat-
ing an environment of
trust and cooperation that
would make a waiver of
accounting likely.
The 120-day waiting pe-
riod is mentioned in that
notice you were supposed
to have received. Once
the notice is mailed out,
a 120-day countdown be-
gins. When it ends, you
will lose your right to con-
test the trust. By “contest
the trust” we mean fil-
ing a court petition ask-
ing the court to declare
that the trust document is
void. You will still be able
to enforce your rights as
a trust beneficiary includ-
ing the right to compel
the trustee to provide you
with an accounting.
The best thing for you
to do is to have a law-
yer write a letter to the
trustee (or the trustee’s
lawyer if there is one) de-
manding a copy of the
trust and an account-
ing. If the trustee doesn’t
have a lawyer, such a let-
ter is usually enough to
goad the trustee into hir-
ing a lawyer who will help
make sure the job is done
correctly.

Equity
FROM PAGE 1
Advocates are now hop-
ing Newsom will use a
share of California’s $45.7
billion surplus to authorize
the fund.
“I am hopef ul that
through budget negotia-
tions, the Legislature and
our supporters will be able
to convince the governor
to appropriately invest in
community-based orga-
nizations,” said Ron Cole-
man, policy director for
the California Pan-Ethnic
Health Network, a state-
wide coalition of health
organizations.
So far, Newsom doesn’t
appear inclined to create
a dedicated health equity
fund. In his January bud-
get, his administration
proposed redirecting a
portion of tax savings from
nonprofit hospitals to ad-
dress health equity. It’s un-
clear how much that could
generate for clinics, tribal
organizations and commu-
nity groups.
A spokesperson for New-
som said that his budget
“recognizes the significant
contributions of commu-
nity-based organizations”
to the overall health of our
communities.
Los Angeles Democratic
Assemblyperson Mike Gip-
son, who has been spear-
heading the drive for a
health equity fund, wor-
ries that the reallocation
is simply robbing Peter to
pay Paul.
“I don’t want to do that,”
Gipson said. “We have the
money. The time is now.”
Minorities said
to be vulnerable
Gipson said the pan-
demic ha s reinforced
what Californians already
knew: that Black, Latino,
Pacific Islander and Na-
tive American communi-
ties were more vulnerable
to the virus and suffered
higher mortality rates
than whites.
“I want us to get off this
list,” said Gipson. “We can
no longer hide our heads
in the sand.”
Senate Pro Tem Toni At-
kins did not say whether
she would include the fund
again. Atkins has said the
Senate’s priority will be to
“create a healthier, more
sustainable and equitable
California.”
Health clinics, tribal or-
ganizations and other com-
munity groups say they
could use state grants from
a health equity and racial
justice fund to benefit the
communities that need
help the most.
They say these groups
have played a critical role
over the last two years,
running their own con-

communities about test-

Bieber wows A-list crowd at pre-Super Bowl ‘Homecoming’

By Andrew Dalton
The Associated Press
WEST HOLLYWOOD >> Jus-
tin Bieber can leave even a
room full of elite athletes,
actors and A-listers star
struck.
The invite-only guests at
Friday’s first of two nights
of a Super Bowl-week party
dubbed “Homecoming
Weekend” crushed around
a small stage-in-the-round
under a tent at the Pacific
Design Center in West Hol-
lywood, California to get
close to Bieber, who hopped,
bopped and shimmied
through a 45-minute set as
the evening’s headliner.
The crowd included
Jeff Bezos, his girlfriend
TV host Lauren Sánchez,
“Hamilton” actor Anthony
Ramos and NFL Hall-of-
Famer Tony Gonzalez.
Most of the hands around
the stage were holding
phones in the air and film-
ing. Some gleeful fans
turned around to shoot self-
ies with Bieber, who wore
a a black skullcap, shades,
a white hoodie and a spar-
kling necklace as he boo-
gied in the background.
With a spare five-piece
band, the 27-year-old pop
star played a set that leaned
heavily on recent songs, in-
cluding “Somebody,” “Hold
On,” “Ghost,” and “As I Am,”
with a few nods to the past,

Marti soon joined him in the business, where she worked as an active partner for the next twenty years.
One of Larry’s lifelong interests was the field of communications. He found it thrilling that he could send out a home page for venue infor-
mation and to share your
catalog from Santa Cruz, California and that people from all over the world would respond. Watching the automated
equipment he had acquired for mailing paperweight catalogs sit idle between mailings, he founded Complete Mailing condolences with his fam-

under its new owner and name: Complete Mailing and Printing.
That same passion for communication took him into the world of amateur radio and later, into his lifelong captiva-
tion by the internet. In 1988, Larry taught himself Morse Code and became an amateur radio operator, under the call
sign AA6MV. He and Marti (N6ULI) took trips to several remote islands for “DX-peditions” where they enjoyed talking
over short-wave radio to other “hams” around the world. They found they shared many other interests as well: organic
gardening, beekeeping, wine-making, the fiber arts (weaving, knitting, spinning, dying fibers with natural pigments),
birding, travel, photography, and meeting new friends in each new field they pursued.
In the early 2000s, a relative introduced him to the world of birding. As a result, Larry became totally immersed in
the world of bird photography, taking workshops with well-known American bird photographers, and traveling with
Marti to many places across the United States to photograph birds in their natural settings. He spent many hours pho-
tographing hummingbirds at the Arboretum at UC Santa Cruz, where the family has placed a bench in his memory at
the newly planted succulent garden in the South Africa section.
Larry developed a keen “eye” for seeing and capturing—not just birds, but also people, plants, and abstract patterns.
Eventually, Larry got into black and white street photography and spent many hours walking the streets of Santa Cruz,
Bisbee, Chicago, and Santa Fe capturing whatever caught his well-developed eye. His work was sold in galleries in
California, Arizona, and New Mexico.
In 2015, Larry returned to his old passion for playing early music. Before the pandemic, he and Marti attended every
local chamber music concert they could. They also traveled out of state for chamber music performances, and attended
many viola da gamba workshops in California and Arizona. Larry often remarked that there is nothing more satisfying
than playing music with friends.
Larry’s ability to single-mindedly focus on one of his many interests will be remembered and appreciated by all who
knew him. A true Renaissance Man, once he became passionate about a subject, he became laser-focused on learning
everything he could. Other interests took a back seat while he ramped up his knowledge on a new subject. His latest
project followed the same pattern: the decision to re-design the front yard with draught-tolerant plants resulted in a
new stack of books to devour about succulents.
We will always treasure Larry’s keen curiosity in just about anything and everything he encountered, his brilliant
analytic ability, his many passionate interests, his generosity, his zest for life, and his quiet sense of humor, which was
with him until the end. But beyond all of these gifts, his kindness and caring for others stands out to everyone who
knew him.
We will not be having any service at this time, but we are asking anyone who would like to celebrate Larry to go
out and do something special in his honor. Please help us celebrate our Renaissance Man by doing something you
love and feel passionate about—and making every day count.

Katie Kraft
August 10, 1935 - December 30, 2021
Resident of Santa Cruz
Katie Kraft, (AKA Marilyn Kraft), 86, of Santa Cruz,
passed away December 30, 2021 with her family by her
side. She is survived by her sons, Victor and Vincent; 5
grandchildren; and brother, Allen Duff.
She was born in Hodgdon, Maine on August 10, 1935.
She spent her childhood in a loving home with her 7 sib-
lings and parents, Kenneth and Hazel Duff. Adventurous
in spirit, Katie traveled across the country in her early
20’s to the golden state, eventually settling in Santa Cruz,
California.
Katie’s passion for fashion inspired her early work as a
local clothing model in the late ‘50s, eventually sharing
the runway with her two young sons. Her ardor of fashion
was second to her love for children and literacy. She be-
gan her nearly 30 year library career serving the students
and teachers of Santa Cruz Unified School District, primar-
ily at Natural Bridges Elementary. Her impact on the com-
munity was evident in the constant appreciative encoun-
ters of former students, teachers and fellow educators.
Katie was an accomplished sewist, quilter, and ball-
room dancer. She had a daring spirit and always found
opportunities to travel, meet people, see places and do
new things. She was an outstanding cook known to host
elegant parties in which guests were lavished with fine
drinks and delicacies.
Katie was an exceptional mother and grandmother, giv-
ing unrelenting love, fierce advocacy and unyielding belief
in her family. Her greatest joy and legacy are reflected
in the kind and wonderful individuals she shaped as the
matriarch. She will be deeply missed.
Katie’s family invites family and friends to join them in
Santa Cruz on February 19, 2022 for an offered Mass at
the Shrine of Saint Joseph, 544 W Cliff Dr., Santa Cruz, CA
(11:00 -12:00) followed by a Celebration of Life at The Inn
at Pasatiempo, 555 CA-17, Santa Cruz, CA (12:30 - 4:00).

Marilyn Roberts
May 26, 1932 - February 6, 2022
Resident of Santa Cruz
Marilyn Roberts died peacefully on February 6, 2022 at
her home surrounded by her family and friends after a
nearly year long battle with cancer. To the end, she was
determined to make her own decisions about her care and
treatment and she did; dying in her own home.
Marilyn was born on May 26, 1932 in San Rafael,
California. She was the oldest of five in a blended family.
Her family was close knit, and Marilyn ended up living in
the ancestral home raised by her grandmother and aunt.
Because she did not have the supervision of a parent, she
was able to roam freely around her town, getting into all
sorts of mischief. From the beginning, she was fiercely in-
dependent and self-sufficient – traits that she displayed up
until her death. As a child of the depression, she was fru-
gal and taught herself to do many things including making
her own furniture and fixing anything. In the 1970s, she
nearly single-handedly dug a swimming pool in the back-
yard of her home for her children to enjoy.
Marilyn was a teacher and later a special education
teacher and administrator. She had the ability to teach
anyone to read. She worked with many special needs
children and taught them to read which opened up so
many avenues of learning to them. She worked at Good
Shepherd School in Santa Cruz for many years as a sec-
ond grade teacher and assistant principal. She left there to
go back to school, and she obtained two master’s degrees,
from Santa Clara University, in special education adminis-
tration. She used her experience and education to work
in the field of special education ending her career as the
SELPA director for Santa Clara County in 1992.
In her later years, she used her analytical skills to write
several books chronicling her family history. She re-
searched the history, visited many family-related places
and found relatives far and wide in her quest to put to-
gether her family history. Once she completed her his-
tory, she helped countless others by completing genea-
logical research for them. She took a great deal of pride
in putting together a family tree for family and friends and
always insisted on perfection.
In her retirement years, she began walking and would
walk up to eight or more miles a day. Her favorite place
to walk was between Capitola Village and Pleasure Point.
She met many wonderful people on her walks including
Sue Hansen and Tim Humphreys who became two of her
dearest friends.
Marilyn is survived by her three children, Susan Mayer,
Kathleen Roberts and Greg Roberts and their spouses,
Bruce Mayer, Tim Justyn and Rida Chiu and two grand-
children, Daniel Mayer and Kenneth Mayer.
A vigil service will be held at Pacific Gardens Chapel,
1050 Cayuga St. Santa Cruz, CA at 7 p.m. on Tuesday,
February 15. A mass of Christian Burial will be cele-
brated at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, February 16, 2022 at
Resurrection Catholic Church, 7600 Soquel Drive, Aptos.
The family would like to thank the nurses at Hospice of
Santa Cruz County for their kindness and care during the
last two weeks of Marilyn’s life as well as the doctors at
UCSF Medical Center for their expertise and dedication
and Drs. Rohan Ahluwalia and Anthony Sturzu for their
unfailing support and care for Marilyn. Arrangements are
under the care of Benito and Azzaro of Pacific Gardens
Chapel.
Colonel Edward John Lesnowicz USMC
December 12, 1946 - February 7, 2022
Resident of Williams, Oregon
On December 12, 1946, Edward John Lesnowicz Jr. was
born to Edward Sr, a 1st Class Petty Officer, fresh from
WWII service in China, and Donna, a woman with mid-
19th century Scotch-Irish roots planted in the foothills of
the North Range of the Siskiyous in Southern Oregon.
Edward’s grandparents, a matriarchal educator and a
Great War Veteran healing from old wounds, shaped his
boyhood. Ed spent his early years at the Kincaid Family
Ranch in the Williams Valley in Williams, Oregon. Ed, the
oldest of three, wandered the creeks and trails of Williams
Valley flanked by his sisters and cousins, with an angling
pole or rifle in hand inspired by silver-screen western he-
roes.
Edward Sr’s work posed a nomadic life across the Pa-
cific Northwest. Ed lived in Idaho, Oregon, and Northern
California. The movement and disruption stoked Ed’s re-
bellious nature. In 1961, Ed’s family landed in Rio Del,
California.
At Fortuna High School, a precocious 14-year-old Ed
would meet the most important person in his life: A beau-
tiful Portuguese girl from a proud immigrant family: Mary
Elmira Rocha. Ed, a stubborn romantic, proposed to Mary
that year. Mary declined (because she thought Ed was
nuts). Ed was undeterred.
In 1962, Ed found himself in Santa Cruz High School.
He proceeded to raise hell. Ed and a few other rebels
founded the JAGS (junior alcohol guzzling society) execut-
ing criminally flavored hijinks across Santa Cruz County.
Ed was summarily expelled from High School and earned
his diploma via night school.
Always in search of battle, Ed enlisted in the Marine
Corps in 1966 (Mary thought it was a Cabrillo College
Sailing Club). Legend has it that a botched JAGS stunt pro-
voked a Judge to issue Ed an ultimatum of juvenile hall or
war. Ed chose war and deployed to Vietnam. He fought
the North Vietnamese Army during the Hill Battles of Khe
Sahn. Ed, a teenager, witnessed what he would call the
Dragon, a metaphor he used to capture the awe and trag-
edy of combat. The war left Ed with a survivor’s guilt that
formed an inexhaustible propellant in his soul that would
drive him to lead and love Marines, his life’s calling.
Ed, surrounded by death in Vietnam, joined the Catholic
faith. A priest, clad in olive drab vestments, baptized and
administered Ed first communion in a bunker under threat
of enemy artillery.
In 1967, Ed returned from Vietnam, married his true love,
started a family, and purchased a home in Santa Cruz. Ed
graduated from UCSC with a political science degree and
a wine aficionado’s pallet after working through school as
a wine distributor. Ed dazzled his daughters, Heather and
Analicia, with bedtime guitar serenades appointed with a
unique panache that made one feel special.
On an evening in 1974, Ed returned home from work
and announced he joined the Marines, again. Ed would
serve as a Marine Corps Officer for 30 years. His service
took him to the Far East, Africa, Europe, Central America,
and the Middle East. He planned the invasion of Pana-
ma in 1989, commanded Marines and Coalition forces in
Mogadishu in 1992, earned a master’s degree from Johns
Hopkins, commanded five thousand Marines in California
in 1998, and laid the foundation to receive wounded ser-
vice members from Iraqi battlefields in 2003.
Despite his martial exterior, Ed was a romantic in pur-
suit of adventure. He was an exuberant pied piper conjur-
ing family adventures like rustic Rocky Mountain retreats
complete with poorly supervised 4X4 off- roading, skiing,
sailing all over the world, and trips to Hong Kong, China,
and the Philippines. No precarious cause or mission could
overcome Ed’s spell over those that gladly followed him.
Ed was a champion for those that had none. He had
a keen eye for the ember of potential and overlooked
virtue. Ed was your sword and shield. God help you if
you were a bully or tormentor. Ed was your adversary, a
relationship you were sure to regret.
Ed spent his later years passing on his wisdom and chas-
ing dreams. As his body diminished, his time committed
to mentorship increased. Ed drew upon a deep well of
wisdom to educate his children, sons-in-law and grand-
children. As Hubba, a title his oldest grandchild bestowed
on him, Ed steeped his family in the mystery of baseball
and produced capable fishermen, marksmen, and ranch
hands. Ed bought the Kincaid Ranch, established the Kin-
caid vineyard, and supervised the production of the first
barrel of Kincaid pinot noir in 2019.
Ed’s life ended, much as it began; at the Kincaid Ranch
surrounded by family. Ed died on a bright Monday morn-
ing with the peace of Jesus Christ surrounded by his wife
of 54 years and beloved family. Ed follows his brother
John, and parents, Edward and Donna Lesnowicz. His sis-
ters, Debbie Comstock and Crystal Lesnowicz, children,
Heather Babcock, Analicia Cubé, Mathew Lesnowicz, and
Ed’s seven grandchildren continue Ed’s legacy of service,
love, and the mystery behind that spark that dwelled in
his eye.
Visitation will be held on Monday, February 14, 2022
from 3pm-6pm followed by a Vigil Service at Benito &
Azzaro Pacific Gardens Chapel, 1050 Cayuga St in Santa
Cruz. Mass of Christian Burial will be held on February
15, 2022 at 11am at Holy Cross Church, 210 High St in
Santa Cruz followed by a Committal Service at Holy Cross
Cemetery, 2271 7th Ave in Santa Cruz.
| OBITUARIES   | B 7
Ada Castro
June 29, 1931 - January 29, 2022
Resident of Santa Cruz
At 4:45 p.m. on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in January
our foundation cracked. We said goodbye to Ada Cas-
tro, the woman we called Mom and Oma. Ada’s passing
could not have been more loving and peaceful, at home
surrounded by Joe, her devoted husband, and all her chil-
dren and grandkids. She was the soul and center of our
world. A beautiful woman with a great sense of humor
and never a cruel word towards anyone.
As the daughter of Dutch dairy farmers from Bell-
flower, our mom’s family moved to a Soquel ranch on
Porter Gulch Road when she was in elementary school.
Her father, Oscar Kasje, owned a feed store in Soquel,
her mother, Johanna, stayed home raising Ada and her
younger brother, Ted. Back then it was not unheard of for
Ada to ride her horse into downtown Soquel. Ada was an
athlete, cheerleader and sorority girl at both Mission Hill
Junior high and Santa Cruz High School (Class of 1949).
This is where she met lifelong friends, having coffee with
one of them (Teresa Darling) just days before she passed
away.
Joe Castro came into her life when, on a dare, he asked
her out while the two were skating at the roller rink. They
celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary just a few weeks
ago. As a young newlywed, Ada worked for County Bank,
then stayed home to raise her three children, returning
to banking once her kids were older. As a banker, she
respected her customers and in return they adored her,
some often skipping shorter teller lines to wait to see Ada
at her desk.
Even with small kids, our mom found a way to give
back, volunteering at our schools, at election polling plac-
es, staying active in both her work at the Daisy and for
Santa Cruz High School Alumni Association. Growing up
and raising a family in Santa Cruz was ideal for fun-loving
Ada. Between her and her two closest friends, they had
a total of 12 kids. She always said they needed a parade
permit to get to the beach. As a young family, we spent
summers on the road camping in Oregon and Washington
and visiting National Parks. When Ada and Joe became
grandparents, we spent nearly 20 summers at a lakeside
home in Tahoe.
Joe and Ada also loved their weekend road trips to Fort
Bragg and Cambria, where Ada dragged Joe into every
antique store. Our parents also loved hanging out with
their regular crew: Wednesday night sailboat races, not on
the water, but in front of the Crow’s Nest enjoying cock-
tails and cheering on their sailing friends, brunches at the
Coconut Grove, New Year’s Eve parties where they ate
at midnight, and pool parties where someone often got
tossed in. Our parents rarely missed a Santa Cruz High
School reunion and even into her late 80’s Ada continued
having luncheons with high school friends including Alma
Rogers, Dolly Del Bianco and Teresa Darling.
Ada loved gardening, reading, and was a marvelous
cook, but at the heart of her life were her kids and grand-
kids. She and Joe never missed a sporting event, birthday
celebration or classroom event. She adored her grandkids,
each having a special bond with their Oma.
Ada leaves behind her husband, Joe; her son, Steve Cas-
tro (Kim); her daughters, Tana Boysen (Neal) and Lori
Stewart; her cherished grandkids: Patrick Castro (Cynthia),
Whitney Castro (Ian), Connor Castro and Jack Boysen; and
hundreds of beloved family members on the Castro side
of the family. She is preceded in death by her parents, her
brother, Ted Kasje; her son-in-law, Farley Stewart; and her
grandson, Nick Boysen.
Our mom was the most beautiful, nurturing and gener-
ous person we knew, adopting our friends as her own,
always including extended family in holiday plans. And
despite medical setbacks, she continued to remain active,
her positive approach to life never failing her.
Due to Covid concerns, a celebration for Ada will be
planned later this summer. In the meantime, please raise
a glass and toast our wonderful mom and grandmother.

Stephen Peter Kilczewski
March 11. 1951 ~ February 6, 2022
Resident of Boulder Creek
Steve Kilczewski passed away suddenly on Sunday Feb
6, 2022 at his home in Boulder Creek, CA at the age of
70. Steve was born 3-11-1951 in Peabody, MA and grew
up in Salem, MA. In 1970 he joined the US Navy and
served for 6 years, from 1970 to 1976. He met his wife,
Linda (Staudinger) Kilczewski in 1971 when he was sta-
tioned at Treasure Island, San Francisco, CA. They were
married for 49 and a half years, the last 45 of which were
spent living in Boulder Creek, CA. Linda’s grandparents
purchased their Boulder Creek property in 1927 and it has
been kept in the family since then. Steve’s talents in build-
ing took it from a summer cabin to a strong boned house
where many memories were made and remembrances of
the ancestors before were held in the hearts of the family.
Steve and Linda had 3 children and 7 grandchildren.
Steve is survived by his wife, Linda; daughter Sheryn
(Kilczewski) Garcia, son-in-law Dan Garcia, and their chil-
dren Julia, Andrea, Aaron, and Jacob Garcia of Pleasant
Hill, CA; son Jeffrey Kilczewski, daughter-in-law Amber
(Keating) Kilczewski, and their children Leah, Logan, and
Axel Kilczewski of Olympia, WA; son Ian Kilczewski of
Boulder Creek, CA; sister Marianne (Kilczewski) Contardo
of Groveland, MA and two nephews Adam and Jamie
Contardo; and brother Mark Kilczewski of Salem, MA.
Steve was an avid reader and he loved cooking, gar-
dening, woodworking, music and watching home builder
shows. In his retirement years he enjoyed working part
time at Home Depot in Soquel, CA. Working beside his

SUPER BOWL 56

Both teams must limit errors

Keep it clean, Lombardi
Trophy could be yours
By Barry Wilner
The Associated Press
INGLEWOOD >> Stay clean. Avoid the
critical mistakes.
That’s a mantra both the Cincin-
nati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams
should have adopted as they head to
Sunday’s Super Bowl.
Limit the turnovers and costly
penalties. Don’t waste timeouts, par-
ticularly in the second half. Get phys-
ical rather than fancy. Being efficient
can trump being spectacular.
All they need to do is look back to
the last time the Los Angeles area
hosted a Super Bowl nearly three

decades ago. That game at the Rose
Bowl became an almost laughable
rout as the Buffalo Bills kept surren-
dering the ball to the Dallas Cow-
boys.
“Just going to go out there and im-
pose our will and play physical and
let the chips fall where they may,”
Bengals cornerback Eli Apple said.
Echoed Rams All-Pro cornerback
Jalen Ramsey: “Do our thing and do
it the best we can. That’s winning
football.”

biggest sporting event; some would

argue it is America’s biggest event of
any kind. It’s splashy, it’s overhyped,
with a weeklong publicity machine
by the league, the teams, the host
city, the network televising it.
In the end, it’s a football game.
And most football games are won
by the team that minimizes miscues.

APTOS >> Santa Cruz High’s wres-
tling team was prematurely an-
nounced as the 2022 Santa Cruz
Coast Athletic League champion
on Friday and had just finished
posing for photographs as it cel-
ebrated with the trophy when a
correction was made.
Because Aptos went unbeaten
in the dual-meet portion of the
season, it needed to finish in
third place or lower at the SC-
CAL Championships on Friday
to lose out on the season title.
The Mariners (143 points) took
second to the Cardinals (164), so
the championship banner and
trophy belonged to Aptos, pub-
lic address announcer Ken Pol-
lastrini clarified.
The Cardinals, who lost 45-

meet, were left muttering as

ford at a hefty price in
draft picks — along with
a younger quarterback,
Jared Goff, who was part
of the LA team that lost in
the 2019 Super Bowl, when
he struggled mightily —
has paid off richly for the
Rams. Stafford’s 49,995
yards passing and 323 TD
passes are the most for a
QB making his first Super
Bowl appearance. Stafford
needs 209 yards passing to
become the sixth player to
reach 6,000 in a single sea-
son.
But he also puts the ball
up for grabs at times. That
needs to be limited on Sun-
day.
“We went out and got
him because we thought
it was a chance to be able
to get a great player of his
magnitude,” Rams coach
Sean McVay said of Staf-
ford, who spent a dozen
seasons playing well with-
out winning in Detroit.
“What he’s done, he’s el-
evated everybody around
him. He’s made me a bet-
ter coach. He’s made his
teammates better.”
So has the guy on the
other side, Joe Burrow.
Like Stafford, Burrow was
the top overall draft pick.
His rookie season was cur-
tailed after 10 games by a
knee injury, but his second
year has been so terrific he
won NFL Comeback Player
of the Year. His most re-
cent production has been
magnificent. And nearly
spotless.
Burrow has gone from
No. 1 overall pick to start-
ing quarterback in the Su-
per Bowl faster than any-
one else. He has 15 touch-
down passes and just two
interceptions in his last
seven games, while aver-
aging 331.1 yards passing
per game.
Rarely has Burrow
gambled in the last two
months, and look how that
has paid off.
Of course, this matchup
is about a lot more than
when and where the quar-
terbacks throw the ball.
It’s about Cincinnati’s of-
fensive line — which al-
lowed Burrow to be the
most-sacked passer in
the league, 51 times, nine
more in a playoff victory
at Tennessee — bowing up
against a generational tal-
ent such as Rams defensive
tackle Aaron Donald, and
other top pass rushers Von
Miller and Leonard Floyd.
“This is a special group
of talented guys on this
defense,” said Miller, who
won the 2015 NFL cham-
pionship in Denver, when
he was Super Bowl MVP.
“I’m talking about one of
the best groups I’ve ever
been fortunate enough to
be a part of. We work to-
gether as a team, and it
just gets better each week.”
It’s about Ramsey be-
ing a shutdown cover guy
against Offensive Rookie
of the Year Ja’Marr Chase,
and the rest of the Los An-
geles secondary handling
Chase’s compatriots, Tee
Higgins and Tyler Boyd.
And about the same on
the other side, with Apple
and fellow defensive backs
trying to slow down Offen-
sive Player of the Year Coo-
per Kupp, Odell Beckham
Jr. and Van Jefferson.
It’s about the kicking
games, which have been
very solid in the postsea-
son, continuing to per-
form on the sport’s big-
gest stage.
Same for the coaches:
McVay, who is accustomed
to the glaring spotlight
after taking the Rams to
the playoffs in four of his
five seasons, and Taylor,
his former assistant, in
his first postseason as a
head man. McVay did not
perform well, nor did his
team, in that Super Bowl
three years ago, looking
uncomfortable against
Tom Brady and the Patri-
ots.
As difficult as it may
be — and it is very diffi-
cult — it’s about treating
the Super Bowl in the cli-
ched phrasing players use:
just another game. There’s
plenty of truth to that.
“You got a job to go out
there and execute and try
to lead your team,” Staf-
ford said. “The game be-
gins, and it’s football.
That’s what we’re here for.”
A masked audience of
less than 500 was allowed
to witness the champion-
ships, which also served
as a qualifier for the up-
coming Central Coast Sec-
tion Championships. The
top three finishers in each
weight class at the SCCAL
Championships advance.
Watsonville will host
the CCS Championships
on Friday and Saturday.
Spectators aren’t allowed
on the first day of compe-
tition since Watsonville is
in session, but they’ll be al-
lowed on the final day of the
two-day meet. Masked fans
must be vaccinated or have
a negative PCR test within
the previous 48 hours.
They’ll only be allowed in-
side when their student is
competing.
The SCCAL Champion-
ships were dominated by
three teams. Aptos had fi-
nalists in 11 of the 14 weight
classes and produced four
champions: Isaac Craig (154
pounds), Nathaniel Miller
(184), O’Hara, and Dante
Tizoc (222).
“Four years, I was never a
good wrestler. It feels good
to finally get one,” O’Hara
said. “Huge progression.
Shoutout to the coaches,
man. They coached their
butt off this year. It was
amazing.”
Mariners coach Rudy
Guzman was elated for his
student-athletes, the bleach
boys. In an annual tradi-
tion, they proudly sported
their new golden locks
ahead of the CCS Champi-
onships.
“It’s awesome,” Guzman
said of the title, “especially
going into this COVID year
not knowing with all the
protocols, things chang-
ing, kids getting COVID.
We went in with that same
mentality we had all year.
It was always stick together,
give it your all, enjoy the
journey and have fun. It
never was about winning.
So, all year we had fun.”
Harbor and Santa Cruz
each produced five indi-
vidual champions. It was a
dominant showing for the
Pirates, who had five final-
ists. The Cardinals had 10
finalists. Soquel went 0 for
2 in the finals, and SLV and

Sophomores Christian
Cruz (108), Gerado Trin-
idad (115) and DeMarco
Chavez (140), and juniors
Leo LoBue (147) and Diallo
Thomas (160) won titles
for Harbor. Trinidad and
LoBue repeated as champi-
ons after winning titles out-
doors last season in Felton.
“I’ve been putting in a lot
of work, even during the off-
season,” said Chavez, a Wat-
sonville resident. “I never
stopped. It’s just an every-
day grind.”
The COVID-19 pandemic
took its toll on programs
county-wide, and Harbor
was no exception. The Pi-
rates forfeited all their
matches during the dual-
meet portion of the season.
Chavez said there were
days when the Pirates had
just three wrestlers at prac-
tice. Luckily, he said, LoBue
was one of them. The two
are training partners.
“They’re intense, we go
hard,” LoBue said. “We try
to push each other.”
Junior Diego Sanchez
(122), sophomore Daniel
Evert (128), and seniors
Mike Pena (134), Ethan
Robinson (172) and Jack
Bacon (heavyweight) won
titles for Santa Cruz.
“It’s big, I’m league
champ now,” said Evert,
who pinned Aptos’ Andrew
Acevedo, the SCCAL champ
at 122 last season. “That guy

I beat him both times, but

ners in the room and he
used to beat me up.”
Bacon, a standout foot-
ball player who will likely
compete for Cabrillo Col-
lege next season, was
pleased with his continued
growth on the mat.
“Most of my middle
school years and into my
high school years, I wasn’t
all that great. I still don’t
think of myself as amazing,
but it’s great to see progres-
sion and win the league ti-
tle,” Bacon said after pin-
ning his opponent in the fi-
nal in less than a minute.
SCCAL Girls Champi-
onship were held for the
first time in an official ca-
pacity, though more than
half the divisions were de-
cided by forfeits. Only three
matches were held. And
there was another flap dur-
ing the awards presenta-

were supposed to receive
medals. The girls’ champi-

WINTER OLYMPICS
Longtime teammates win
in mixed snowboardcross
By Pat Graham
The Associated Press
ZHANGJIAKOU, CHINA >> The
running joke was Ameri-
can snowboardcross racer
Nick Baumgartner always
referring to them as a pair
of 40-somethings.
“I’m 36,” Lindsey Jacobe-
llis playfully corrected time
after time in interview after
interview.
For these two, and all
their vast experience, age
proved to be one thing —
golden.
Jacobellis won her sec-
ond title of the Beijing
Olympics, teaming with
Baumgartner to capture
the new event of mixed
team snowboardcross on
Saturday.
At 40 years, 57 days,
Baumgartner, the concrete
worker/contractor from
Michigan, becomes the old-
est snowboarder to win an
Olympic medal. At 36 years,
177 days, Jacobellis, the au-
thor of a new children’s
book, is the second-oldest.
“You’re never too late to
take what you want from
life,” Baumgartner said.
“You let yourself down if
you quit too early, doesn’t
matter how old you are. Our
success at our age is a per-
fect example of that.”
Jacobellis took gold ear-
lier this week in the wom-
en’s event; it came 16 years
after a late showboat move
as she was cruising in for an
apparent win cost her the ti-
tle at the Turin Games.
“It’s the internal fire
in believing in yourself,
whether you’re trying to
go get a gold medal or just
improving your day-to-day
life,” said Jacobellis, whose
new book titled “Sochi: A
True Story” is currently
sold out. “You continue to
try to grow and better your-
self.”
After a slow start at the
Beijing Olympics, the U.S.
now had five gold med-
als and 11 overall by Satur-

The United States’ Lindsey Jacobellis celebrates after
winning a gold medal in the women’s cross at the 2022
Winter Olympics on Wednesday in Zhangjiakou, China.
day afternoon. Jacobellis
accounted for two, while
snowboarder Chloe Kim
has another. The Amer-
icans have also won two
new Olympic events con-
tested at the Genting Snow
Park — mixed team aerials
and now mixed team snow-
boardercross.
Although the unique
snowboarding discipline
made its Olympic debut in
China, the event has been
featured for nearly a de-
cade at numerous World
Cup stops.
It’s a competition that
features a male and female
rider from the same coun-
try being paired up and
placed into a multi-team
bracket. When the male
racer crosses the line, the
time advantage he holds
over the next competitor is
applied to his female team-
mate. The female rider then
begins the run and the top
two teams advance round
by round until the final.
Baumgartner gave Jaco-
bellis a slender lead after
his run in the final. Jaco-
bellis, of course, closed it
out. They held off the Ital-
ian team of Omar Visintin
and Michela Moioli by O.2
seconds. The Canadian duo
of Eliot Grondin and Mery-
eta O’Dine finished third
after O’Dine was able to

scramble back up and get
to the line first following
an early-in the race wipeout
with another Italian team.
The bronze-medal winning
team finished 23.20 seconds
behind the time of Jacobel-
lis and Baumgartner.
“I didn’t know if she was
OK, or anything,” said the
20-year-old Grondin, the
silver medalist in the men’s
event. “So I was just waiting
and hoping she was fine and
that she kept going. Then I
saw her name on the split
times and I said, ‘Come on.’
“Then she jumped to the
finish line and I was like,
‘Ahh, we did it.’ It’s crazy.”
Shortly after Jacobellis’
finish, Baumgartner went
over for a gold-medal wor-
thy embrace. Later, the
American tandem grabbed
hands and stepped on the
podium when their names
were announced.
“I always tell people that
I learned a lot about my-
self and about my riding,
once I did a team event,”
Baumgartner said. “Be-
cause the vibe up at the top
... when it’s a team race,
we’re all smiling and we’re
having fun and we’re enjoy-
ing each other’s company.
We’re feeding off of each
other. It brings the level of
riding to a different level.
You saw that today.”

athlete has meant more to
the sport of snowboarding
than the 35-year-old Cal-
ifornian, he conceded he
had been nervous about
what kind of reaction he’d
get.
“As a competitor, I al-
ways wanted to be on the
podium and I didn’t know
if people would still respect
my legacy,” he said.
He put down a solid run
to get into medal conten-
tion, but with a chance to
move up one spot and land
on the podium, his legs
grew weak and he fell as
he tried the second of back-
to-back 1440s — one of the
toughest combinations in
the sport.
The less-than-perfect
performance, his emo-
tional reaction to it, and
even his worries about
what others would think
— all of that revealed the
softer side of White, who
grew from “The Flying
Tomato” to a multi-plat-
form sports and business
icon in front of the world’s
eyes. The past week in the
mountains above Beijing
have triggered an outpour-
ing of feelings along every
step of the way.
Any second thoughts
about his decision to hang
it up?
“The initial competi-
tive reaction was, ‘Oh, I al-

most had the podium and
I want to come back and
try that again,’” White said.
“It’s one of the things that’s
driven me to be one of the
best in sports. But I think
I’m going to enjoy this new
lifestyle much better.”
Dobrev took to social
media and praised her
boyfriend, saying: “You
will forever be the G.O.A.T.
of snowboarding. Not to
mention you are also the
G.(B).O.A.T. = Greatest
Boyfriend Of All Time.”
“I couldn’t be more
proud. Of everything you
have accomplished over the
last 20 years as a compet-
itor and the man you have
become,” she wrote.
White’s next chapter will
include a dive back into
business.
He has combined with
his brother, Jesse, to
launch a new snowboard
brand, Whitespace. He said
a first run of snowboards
sold out online in 15 min-
utes. White is also owner of
a music-and-competition
event, Air & Style, which
could get fresh legs if CO-
VID-19 subsides.
White said one of his
realizations as he weighed
whether to retire was that
“instead of beating these
guys out here, I want to
start sponsoring them.”
He’s still figuring that
part out. He said offer-
ing advice and helping a

ing — at least in the way
that his buddy and coach,
2002 bronze medalist J.J.
Thomas is doing it — might
take a little longer.
“I would need time be-
fore I did something like
that, and it would have to
be a very special situation,”
White said. “But definitely
supporting in some capac-
ity would be very enjoyable,
I think.”
But before that, some
rest.
Even for a megastar
used to traveling the globe,
the last four months have
been a lot. There was a long
stretch in Europe for train-
ing, which also led to the
decision to retire.
There was a hectic swing
through qualifying events,
which were hampered by
an ankle injury, a bout with
COVID-19, a broken bind-
ing in one contest, then a
quick unexpected trip to
Switzerland to secure his
spot on the team.
And then China. It was
not an easy trip for any-
one, and for White, it was
made all the more hectic —
and emotional — because
the spotlight was shining
on the final performance
of his one-of-a-kind career.
“Advice I’ve got from
others is ‘Just take a sec-
ond,’” White said. “I just
want to take a pause and
really soak in this moment,
everything I’ve done and
earned and enjoyed, and
then see what sparks my
interest.”
