Indio Water Authority Customers to Benefit from Collaboration Indio Water Authority (IWA) recently announced a joint effort with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to reallocate a $61,000 fine into a $2 million water conservation program in lieu of payment made to the State of California. In October 2015, IWA and other water districts across the state were fined $61,000 each for failing to meet state-mandated conservation goals. IWA requested a meeting in December to discuss the fine and options. “The SWRCB Office of Enforcement made it very clear in our first meeting that they wanted to work collaboratively with us and keep
the fine money in Indio,” said City Manager Dan Martinez. “As a result, the fine will be used as part of a new comprehensive conservation program that will provide customers a number of new ways to save water.” The Conserve MORE Project will consist of three key initiatives: One of the State’s first-ever evaporative cooler rebate program: IWA will add an evaporative cooler rebate to its wide range of water conservation rebates, which includes financial incentives for turf removal, irrigation equipment upgrades, plus water-efficient washing machines and toilets. IWA staff will be posting information regarding the evaporative cooler rebate on www.indiowater.org.

Indio Police Department Selected as Model for President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services announced today that the Indio Police Department (IPD) has been selected to serve as a model for implementing the recommendations of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, and to participate in a new initiative to promote the Task Force’s recommendations. Mayor Glenn Miller, City Manager Dan Martinez, Police Chief Richard Twiss, and Coachella Valley Rescue Mis-
sion Program Director Tom Cox attended the White House event for a kick-off meeting. IPD is one of 15 law enforcement agencies from across the nation that were selected to take part in the year-long project, which will assess how each department is implementing the Task Force’s recommendations, document their efforts, and improve implementation where necessary. The result of these efforts will provide meaning-
ful solutions for law enforcement agencies while also strengthening trust and collaboration within the community. “This is another exciting opportunity and acknowledgment of the outstanding work the Indio Police Department has conducted in the area of community outreach and engagement,” Miller said. “As a city we take great pride in this prestigious recognition and I personally commend Chief Twiss’ leadership.”
The President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing was established in 2014 by President Barack Obama. The Task Force sought expertise from stakeholders and input from the public through listening sessions, teleconferences and written comments as it worked to identify the best policing practices for law enforcement throughout the country.

Community Spotlight Joshua Springs MHP, by Joan Carroll Betty and Clancy J. were down at the Ranch recently. Betty’s sister Lynne from Colorado and her brother from Surprise, AZ (near Pheonix) visited with them. Betty said they hadn’t been all together at the same time for about 30 years! Mother’s Day boquet shared with us was a combination of sunflowers, carnations and gloriosa daisies. Very pretty. Donna G. was working on coloring a beautiful asian dragon picture to go to her friend to hang in her trailer craft room. Ed and Marlene M. were expecting their fifth greatgrand child. His name will be Grayson. Congratulations! Grayson’s family lives near Ontario airport.
Thanks to Ted, our water charge problem for the Park was alleviated. We even got a rebate! Thanks Jan C. for being our coffee maven for the whole month of June. Please keep Vernon G. and Dwight H. in your thoughts and prayers while they go thru difficult medical problems. Do we have Cicadas here? I don’t know but one year the mesquite trees across the street were loudly humming with insect noise. I didn’t see the insects. It was so loud it almost drowned out the airplane flying by. Hurrah, my new Rainbird watering computer is working well and I can even set or reset it myself. I’ve had a lot of fun setting and resetting the sprinkler heads for my roses and shrubs. Got an occasional shower, too when the caps would pop off.

“Gratin” or “au gratin” refers to a dish that has been sprinkled with bread crumbs or grated cheese and browned. In this casserole, a layer of sliced tomatoes is arranged over the top before it’s sprinkled with mild Muenster cheese. As the gratin bakes, the cheese melts into the tomatoes and turns a rich golden brown. When the plate comes out of the oven, the filling will be juicy, but after a few minutes the rice absorbs some of the liquid. The rest can be spooned over each portion. To complete the menu, serve leafy greens tossed in a tangy Dijon vinaigrette and a loaf of crusty whole-grain bread.
Ingredients • 3 cups bite-size broccoli florets • 2 cups cooked brown rice • 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and water squeezed out • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese • 3/4 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
• 1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper • 1 cup tomato juice • 1/2 cup water • 2 (about 4-ounce) tomatoes, thinly sliced • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Muenster cheese
Directions 1. Preheat oven to 375F. Coat a 10inch pie plate with cooking spray. 2. Steam broccoli in steamer rack over boiling water until bright green and just tender, about 4 minutes. 3. In large bowl, combine rice, broccoli, spinach, Parmesan, rosemary, salt and pepper. Spoon into pie plate. Pour tomato juice and water over top. Arrange tomatoes over top. Sprinkle with Muenster. 4. Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand a few minutes before serving. Serves 4 to 6.

HOROSCOPE MAY 26 - JUNE 1 ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s time to convince the childish part of yourself that your higher-minded self is worthy of just as much respect as the other authorities in your life and then a whole lot more.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). No one is the same in every situation. You’ll be around a person who brings out a rarely seen side of you and shows you something about your potential that you didn’t realize before.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re in a position to be a tiebreaker; however, it is very likely that you will see both sides of the argument and agree with neither. Don’t vote just because they ask you to. There has to be another answer.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are many ways to get attention. People around you now seem to be pulling out all the stops to get yours, some by being attractive and successful, others by being loud and needy.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re learning the intricacies of an existing power dynamic. What will it take to become so self-sufficient you no longer have to deal with this? Someone is going to be put in charge of you, so it may as well be you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your instruction will be valuable help. You’ll also be excellent at matching individuals to the jobs they are best suited for and the people they are most compatible with.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The work doesn’t have to be pretty; it just has to get done. Make this your mantra when too many ultimately meaningless details call out seductively to you like sirens on the rocks. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve a genuine respect for younger people, as you see the unique creatures they are — better equipped for the future than anyone before has ever been. Older people also have your admiration and loyalty, in a different way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are sacred places in the world that are kept secret from people who wouldn’t understand them. Your humble spirit will ingratiate you somewhere that a proud attitude would never be invited.
May 26, 2016
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Don’t assume you’re being understood or even heard. You may be surprised at what people are taking away from your conversation, and unless you check in and ask for feedback you won’t really know. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The funny people in your life are probably about as high-maintenance as they are intelligent — and so worth every ounce of attention you pour into the relationship. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, waiting for it to come together can be anxiety-provoking. The more you learn about what’s involved in a production, the easier it will be to flow with the timing of it.

Slang Origins ‘Cut to the Chase’ Meaning: Get to the point - leaving out unnecessary preamble. Origins: This phrase originated in the U.S. film industry. Many early silent films ended in chase sequences preceded by obligatory
romantic storylines. The first reference to it dates back to that era, just after the first ‘talkie’ - The Jazz Singer, 1927. It is a script direction from Joseph Patrick McEvoy’s novel Hollywood Girl, 1929: “Jannings escapes... Cut to chase.”
money back, Juan joins forces with an old friend from his days in the CIA so they can track down a rogue hacker and a ruthless former Ukrainian naval officer. It is only after the hunt begins that the enormity of the plan comes into focus: the bank theft is just the first step in a plot that will result in the deaths of millions and bring the world’s economies to a standstill. The catalyst for the scheme? A stunning document stolen during Napoleon’s disastrous invasion of Russia. But two hundred years later, it may be the thing that brings Europe to its knee.
End of Watch By Stephen King
Available June 7 In Room 217 of the Lakes Region Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, something has awakened. Some-
thing evil. Brady Hartsfield, perpetrator of the Mercedes Massacre, where eight people were killed and many more were badly injured, has been in the clinic for five years, in a vegetative state. According to his doctors, anything approaching a complete recovery is unlikely. But behind the drool and stare, Brady is awake, and in possession of deadly new powers that allow him to wreak unimaginable havoc without ever leaving his hospital room. Stephen King brings the Hodges trilogy to a sublimely terrifying conclusion, combining the detective fiction of Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers with the heart-pounding, supernatural suspense that has been his bestselling trademark.
