Old Schoolhouse Lecture Series: Cowboy Poetry Cowboy poetry is a form of poetry which grew out of a tradition of extemporaneous composition carried on by workers on cattle drives and ranches. After a day of work, cowboys would gather around a campfire and entertain one another with tall tales and folk songs. Illiteracy was common, so poetic forms were employed to aid memory. Come hear Morongo Valley resident, Richard Brewer recite cowboy poetry and cowboy humor.
Richard Brewer is a cowboy poet and humorist as well as an author and a square dance caller. Sponsored by the Desert Institute at Joshua Tree National Park and the Twentynine Palms Historical Society, this lecture is held at the Old Schoolhouse Museum, 6760 National Park Drive, Twentynine Palms, on Friday, June 10 at 7 p.m. This lecture is open to the public and costs $5 per person at the door.

City of Indio to Improve Historic Dominguez Park California State Parks has announced recommendations to the National Park Service for $8.8 million in funding for 17 local parks, including $87,577 in improvements to Indio’s historic Dominguez Park, under the Land and Water Conservation Fund Program (LWCF). Grant funding will be made available if the National Park Service approves the recommended projects. “Dominguez Park is one of the oldest and most widely used facilities in the city,” said Indio Mayor Glenn Miller. “This funding would provide a makeover and expand the ways in which our residents are able to enjoy it all year ’round.”
calls for the addition of a second full-length basketball court, a unitary playground surface that meets ASTM performance standards and new solar lighting that would allow residents to enjoy activities during dusk hours when summer temperatures are cooler. “Places like Dominguez Park enhance outdoor opportunities and bring families together,” said California State Parks Director Lisa Mangat. “We’re optimistic that they will be approved.” For information about the LWCF, please contact California State Parks Deputy Director of Public Affairs Gloria Sandoval at (916) 6517661 or (916) 956-6814.

Tips for Keeping Your House Cool It’s hot out, and it’s only going to get warmer as summer goes on. While it’s tempting to crank the AC or plant yourself in front of the nearest fan, these aren’t the only tricks to keeping cool. It turns out there are plenty of ways to buffer your home from the heat without racking up your electric bill. And they’ll make you feel like a DIY champ, too. Keep your blinds closed. As simple as this tip may seem, Family Handyman notes that up to 30 percent of unwanted heat comes from your windows, and utilizing shades, curtains and the like can save you up to 7 percent on your bills and lower indoor temperatures by up to 20 degrees. In other words, closing the blinds essentially prevents your home from becoming a miniature greenhouse, which is especially the case for south- and west-facing windows. Be smart about your doors. Closing off rooms will prevent the
6
cool air from permeating these areas during the hottest part of the day. You’ll want to capitalize on the cooler night hours, too, letting air flow naturally through your home. Swap your sheets. Not only does seasonally switching up your bedding freshen up a room, it’s a great way to keep cool. While textiles like flannel sheets and fleece blankets are fantastic for insulation, cotton is a smarter move this time of year as it breathes easier and stays cooler. And as an added bonus, buy yourself a buckwheat pillow or two. Because buckwheat hulls have a naturally occurring air space between them, they won’t hold on to your body heat like conventional pillows, even when packed together inside a pillow case. Set your ceiling fans to rotate counter-clockwise. Whether you know it or not, your ceiling fan needs to be adjusted seasonally. Set counter-clockwise in the summer
at a higher speed, the fan’s airflow will create a wind-chill breeze effect that will make you and your guests “feel” cooler. Focus on the temperature in your body, not the house. If your ancestors survived without air conditioning, so can you. From sipping tasty iced drinks to applying a cold cloth to strong-pulsed areas like your neck and wrists, cooling yourself from the inside out is not a bad idea. Other tricks include being smart about your clothing choices.

Ditch the incandescent lights. If you needed motivation to make the switch to CFLs, or compact fluorescent lamps, this is it. Incandescent bulbs waste about 90 percent of their energy in the heat they emit, so tossing them to the curb will make a small difference in cooling your home while lowering your electric bill. Turn on your bathroom fans.... or the exhaust fan in the kitchen. Both of pull the hot air that rises after you cook or take a steamy shower.

This Week in History June 9, 1973: With a spectacular victory at the Belmont Stakes, Secretariat becomes the first horse since Citation in 1948 to win America’s coveted Triple Crown– the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes. In one of the finest performances in racing history, Secretariat, ridden by Ron Turcotte, completed the 1.5-mile race in 2 minutes and 24 seconds, a dirt-track record for that distance. June 10, 1752: Benjamin Franklin flies a kite during a thunderstorm and collects a charge in a Leyden
jar when the kite is struck by lightning, enabling him to demonstrate the electrical nature of lightning. Franklin became interested in electricity in the mid-1740s, a time when much was still unknown on the topic, and spent almost a decade conducting electrical experiments. He coined a number of terms used today, including battery, conductor and electrician. He also invented the lightning rod, used to protect buildings and ships.

June 12, 1987: In one of his most famous Cold War speeches, President Ronald Reagan challenges Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down” the Berlin Wall, a symbol of the repressive Communist era in a divided Germany. June 13, 1966: The Supreme Court hands down its decision in Miranda v.Arizona, establishing the principle that all criminal suspects must be advised of their rights before interrogation. Now considered standard police procedure, “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can, and will, be used against you in court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you,” has been heard so many times in television and film dramas that it has become almost cliche.

Mangoes come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Some are green; others are yellow. The kind you usually see in the supermarkets, which tend to be imported from Central America, have a rosy cast. Whatever the exterior color, ripe mangoes have a pleasant aroma and are firm but slightly yielding to the touch; interior hues range from pale yellow to deep orange and are easily sliced with a knife (extremely fibrous fruit should be used for smoothies or discarded). If you buy an under-ripe mango, wrap it in a paper bag and let it sit on the counter for a day or two. You can add an apple or banana to the bag to release gases that speed the ripening process. How to cut a mango: Mangoes have two flat planes and two sharp ones, which follow the shape of the pit. Stand a mango on one point and, with a very sharp knife, slice down one flat plane as close to the pit as possible. This will yield a “cheek” of fruit. Crosshatch the interior and bend back the skin, and the fruit will pop out neatly. Repeat with the other flat plane. Then slice down the two sharp planes and skin them for extra wedges. Israeli Couscous with Mango, Cucumber and Cilantro The key in this salad is balance, with each ingredient contributing a part but not overwhelming the others. Israeli
couscous is sometimes called “pearl couscous” or “giant pasta pearls.” • 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth • 1/2 cup water • 1 (6.3-ounce box) Israeli couscous (such as Casbah) • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided • 2 cups chopped mango • 2 cups chopped English cucumber, unpeeled • 1 cup chopped cilantro • 2 tablespoons honey • Juice of 1 lime • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper 1. Combine broth and water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Add couscous; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed and couscous is al dente. Remove from heat and place into a mixing bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil to prevent grains from sticking. Let cool. 2. Add mango, cucumber and cilantro; toss well. 3. Whisk together honey, lime juice, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper. Pour over couscous; mix well. Serves 8.

PUZZLE PAGE
HOROSCOPE JUNE 9 - JUNE 15 ARIES (March 21-April 19). Believe it or not, there will be enormous satisfaction for you in the act of cleaning up. Scrub the surface of things — projects, mysteries, countertops or your own skin — and you’ll find a gleaming reward at the end of your effort.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve been quiet, holding your cards close to the vest so as not to tip your position in the game. But now it’s finally time to talk about what you want. You never know who can help you get it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know the type. They ask, “What’s wrong?” when nothing is, thereby creating something wrong. Drama follows them everywhere they go. They can’t seem to help without hurting. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have what others need. Believe this. You don’t have to be particularly talented, confident or rich to contribute. Your presence is a gift beyond measure. Giving because it feels right to do so will be more than enough.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll hit all the green lights, short lines and easy parking spaces. This felicity is a sign that things are going your way. When your micro-wishes come true, it’s a sign that your macro-wishes will, too.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re a spiritual person, but that doesn’t stop you from having a very practical point of view. Today you’ll form a theory based on spiritual principles and then test it in the real world.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is no end to a circle. That’s why, when you feel like you’re in a circular-type situation, you have to decide when it’s time to leave and create your very own exit, too.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Assume that the task before you is supposed to be easy. This may or may not turn out to be true, but if you think a task should be hard, you’ll put way too much effort into a job that is, in actuality, a snap.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can’t help but wonder if there are deeper layers to all that you’re experiencing today. When you earn a little money, or love or inspiration, you’ll wonder if there’s more to be mined from this resource. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As far as you’re concerned, mistakes are only opportunities for growth and mastery. While you’re in your current mood, there’s nothing that can go wrong without producing an obvious up side.
10
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Interesting people enter the scene and you’ll have a choice about whether to include them in your future. Go carefully and slowly in this regard. Seek only life-enhancing company. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Challenges of identity will arise. Can you be yourself and also be the person who has attained the goal that’s been on your mind and list for years? Only you can answer that question.

Read for the Win this Summer at Palm Springs Public Library It’s that time of year again, time for Summer Reading at the Palm Springs Public Library! Research has shown that when young people aren’t engaged in educational activities during the summer they can experience learning loss. The research also stated that reading just five books over the summer can help to prevent summer learning loss, so that’s our goal with our summer reading program! The theme for this year’s eightweek program is READ FOR THE WIN in honor of the Summer
Olympics. Registration is now open, and the program will continue through Thursday, July 28. Offering something for everyone in the family, there is a program for every age group; Youth: Pre-K – 5th grade, Teens: 6th – 12th grade, and even adults! Students that are registered and check-in weekly at the Library will receive a weekly gift. There will also be special performers every week for each age group, a Five-Book Reading Challenge, Book bingo for adults and a weekly prize raffle at the beginning of each weekly program.
Plus, as an extra encouragement the grand prize this year is a Microsoft Surface PRO 4 courtesy of the Friends of the Palm Springs Library. There will be a winner in each age group, youth, teen and adult, awarded at the finale of each program the last week of July. Participants will also have the opportunity to win one of seven bicycles courtesy of the Palm Springs Sustainability Commission. Each bike includes a helmet and bike lock and entry tickets can be earned by attending programs throughout the summer.
It’s a summer of fun for the whole family! So mark your calendars, plan to register and participate! For more Summer Reading program information visit www.palmspringslibrary. org for a complete schedule. The Palm Springs Public Library is located at 300 S. Sunrise Way, on the corner of Sunrise Way and Baristo Road, a destination for residents and visitors alike. For more information call (760) 322-7323 or visit www.palmspringslibrary.org.
