Community Spotlight Joshua Springs MHP By Joan Carroll BBQ Dinner planned by Laurie & Judy. Ticket cost to residents $2.50 available at coffee time or at Laurie & Judy’s home. August 5, Friday at 5 p.m. Ribs, corn dish and baked beans featured, bring your own service. Partially funded by Social Club. Thanks Jan for your coffee treats for the whole month of June. Our last yummy was pound cake with cocktail fruit and whipped cream. Can I blame the two extra pounds on you? We had a nest of a Hooded Oriole on our tree right in front of the pools. Unfortunately the nest was abandoned - maybe too much traffic and too many swimmers? Please keep Ed in your thoughts as he is going thru a stressful medical diagnosis. Interesting site called Spoonflower. They will print wallpaper, wrapping

paper, and fabric for you in small batches. You don’t need to be a designer, they have patterns available. It never ceases to amaze me what survives in the desert. One Canadian rose died but the Alaskan wild flower seedlings took the cold and heat well. A Shirley poppy bloomed in red/pink, several blue bachelor buttons showed up, and lots of small snapdragon type flowers were in bloom in April. Several California poppies bloomed. Do you realize how birds, bees and wasps take advantage of man build objects? A neighbor has a metal solar butterfly that a female hummer thinks is just the right place to sit and watch the neighborhood. The wasps, birds, and bees love the water coming out of the Koi pond - stop in for a quick drink often. I had a white butterfly fluttering around the butterfly bush this last summer.

City of Indio Awarded Nearly The Filler Files: Senior Scams One Million for Park Upgrades and Active Seniors have an Edge The California Department of Housing and Community Development recently announced that the City of Indio has been awarded a Housing-Related Parks (HRP) Program award in the amount of $997,400. “We are excited to have received this award, as the funds will be used for improvements at Miles Avenue Park,” said Indio Mayor Glenn Miller. “Receiving grants such as this one allows the City to upgrade existing parks and offer new recreational features for all our residents to enjoy.” Miles Avenue Park is located west of downtown Indio next to the Coachella Valley History Museum and currently includes playground equipment, basketball courts, shaded picnic and barbeque areas and restrooms. The development of the Master Plan is underway and
4
the public will be invited to participate in sharing their ideas for park improvements and amenities. The HRP Program funds will be used to construct these improvements. The goal of the HRP Program is to increase the overall supply of housing affordable to lower-income households by providing financial incentives for the creation, expansion or renovation of community park and recreation amenities. This latest award brings the total amount of grant funds received through three rounds of this program to $2,741,025, all of which are designated to improve Indio parks. For more information about HRP and the Miles Avenue Park Master Plan, please call the City of Indio’s Department of Housing and Development at (760) 541-4260.
Baby boomers were raised, for the most part, to be polite, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens. And now, the Federal Bureau of Investigation says that it’s a trait that can make them vulnerable to scammers. Seniors are particularly susceptible to telephone cons because the perpetrators of these crimes know “that it is difficult or impossible for these individuals to say ‘no’ or just hang up the telephone,” according to the FBI. The agency suggests a visit to its Common Fraud Schemes web page (www.fbi.gov/scamssafety/fraud/seniors) for tips on
how seniors can protect themselves from fraudsters. The tendency is to “slow down” as you grow older, but active seniors have an edge on those who become sedentary, says the Association of Mature American Citizens. You don’t have to endure an exhausting regimen of exercise, according to AMAC; take a walk, climb the stairs, go for a swim or tackle a few chores on your “honey, do” list. The Association of Mature American Citizens [www.amac.us] provides the Filler Files as a service on issues of concern to Americans over 50.

Work gets underway for parking structure in Downtown Palm Springs Crews are installing fencing and making site preparations for the construction of a new parking structure being built by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians in an area just north of the Spa Resort Casino in downtown. It is expected that construction of the parking structure will take
about one year, with parking opening in 2017. The structure will feature 850 parking stalls. During construction, there are many areas designated for selfparking, and Spa Resort Casino guests can use a temporary valet along Calle Encilia. Though some parking spaces at the Spa Resort Ca-
sino will be temporarily closed during the construction of the parking structure, the total number of valet, self-parking, and handicap accessible spaces has been increased in the past year to provide for guest convenience through this transition.

She lived alone on San Nicolas Island off the coast of California from 1835 until her discovery in 1853. Scott O’Dell’s award-winning children’s novel Island of the Blue Dolphins (1960) was inspired by her story.

Diabetes in the Coachella Valley: HARC Data Reveals Bittersweet Story One in ten Coachella Valley adults-over 36,000 people--have been diagnosed with diabetes, according to HARC’s 2013 population health data. To intimately understand the health status and health needs of this important group, HARC, Inc. has released a special report on diabetes in the Coachella Valley. This report provides comprehensive insight into the health issues and health needs of our local population who live with diabetes. Findings from the HARC report suggest some uplifting information for local people with diabetes. People with diabetes are more likely to have health insurance and are more likely to access routine preventative health screenings, such as cholesterol screenings, eye exams, and flu vaccinations. However, there are also major health
8
concerns present for the 36,000 Valley residents living with diabetes. Compared to people without diabetes, they are more likely to be obese, less likely to exercise, and have higher rates of major illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Thousands of local people with diabetes are engaging in unhealthy behaviors such as binge drinking and cigarette smoking; which pose a severe risk for diabetic complications. Approximately 32% of people with diabetes have not taken a self-management course for their diabetes, so it may be that they do not know how risky these behaviors are. The complete report contains additional data related to health coverage and care, behavioral risks, major diseases, and diabetes-specific information such as the regularity of hemoglobin checks and feet
checks. The report also includes local and national resources that are available to adults with diabetes. The overall aim of the report is to provide useful insight on the health of those who live with diabetes in the Coachella Valley. As such, the Special Report on Diabetes is available for free at www.HARCdata.org in an effort to facilitate local deci-
sion-making regarding program development and program funding. This report was funded by Kaiser Foundation Hospitals - Riverside, Desert Regional Medical Center, and the Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP). More information can be obtained by calling HARC at (760) 4041945, or visiting the organization’s website at www.HARCData.org.
It Works! Use aspirin to restore hair color Swimming in a chlorinated pool can have a noticeable effect on your hair color if you have light hair. You can usually return your mane to its former shade by dissolving six to eight aspirins in a glass of warm water. Rub the solution thoroughly into your hair and let it set for 10-15 minutes.

This isn’t your grandmother’s ambrosia. It’s updated and streamlined by skipping the marshmallows, maraschino cherries and nuts, and subbing in tropical fruits, like grapefruit, kiwi and papaya. It’s bright, tart, and not too sweet, and there’s not a smidgen of cream cheese or whipped topping in sight. Try it with pork chops or ham, or pack it into jars for summer picnics or early tailgate parties.

PUZZLE PAGE
HOROSCOPE JULY 14 - JULY 20 ARIES (March 21-April 19). Simplicity and economy will get you in shape for the battle ahead. In other words, it’s time to get lean and mean with your project so you’ll have the strength and resources to do well.
your own privacy. Reveal nothing, be cautious in what you say and don’t even think about posting pictures to social media of your whereabouts or your meals.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Is this a time of want or a time of plenty? The fact is that you do have plenty, but it’s not plenty of what you really want. Shed what you don’t need and rid yourself of dependencies.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It is amazing how many will take a pious stand, judging the others for not believing or behaving as they do, meanwhile not even bothering to uphold the basic values of honesty, decency and common sense.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are socially susceptible in the best possible way. When you see a person doing good, you immediately adopt the same behavior. When you encounter a fault in another, you immediately examine and eradicate your own.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re so ambitious right now that there is simply no way you’ll have the time, energy or resources to do everything you want to. Make a list and prioritize it. Planning will be the key to your success.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You had one way to accomplish things, and now the bigger, better tools give you several ways. Is your work going to be better because of this? It’s doubtful, at least at first. But as you learn, things will get better. Be patient.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Of course winning is important to you, but try not to lose sight of what really matters — the usefulness and help you provide others. If you make even one person’s life easier today, you’ve won.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a reason you’re in the place where you are. The people around you need you. You won’t be able to help or see all whom you wish to connect with, but don’t let that discourage you from touching the ones you can reach.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are those who naturally fall within the bell curve of normal behavior, and there are those who have to work hard to fit in. Be kind to those in the second category, as you’ll be their guide and solace today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is no way to be perfect at the job you’re doing, but there are a million ways to be good at it. Stop worrying so much, and commit to doing your best with each small task.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve an open mind and a lot of compassion for the quiet thinkers around you. You’re in this category, too, today, doing the invisible work that is every bit as hard as the work that makes one sweat.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). This is a day when it behooves you to quietly maintain

New and Upcoming Reads The Woman in Cabin 10 By Ruth Ware Available July 19 Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. At first, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant. Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for, and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo’s desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly wrong.

The fresh-faced North Carolina attorney shares his German grandfather’s uncanny ability to see future events in his mind’s eye, a gift that has haunted 82-year-old Frank House. While Parker navigates the intrigue and politics of small-town courtroom law, Frank is forced to face his darkest regrets. Then, a big career break
for Parker collides with a new love he longs to nurture and the nightmares his grandfather can no longer escape. Sudden peril threatens to shatter not only Parker’s legal prospects but also his life and the lives of those dearest to him. Forgotten Secrets By Robin Perini Available July 19 At age ten, Riley Lambert watched helplessly as her sister was abducted from her bedroom. Fifteen years later, she’s channeled the pain of her past into a career as an FBI profiler. Riley devotes her life to bringing violent criminals to justice…and secretly uses government resources to search for her sister, who was never found. When Riley gets a call from ex-Navy SEAL Thayne Blackwood it stirs up dark memories. Thayne’s sister, Cheyenne, has been kidnapped. There are no leads, and the only witness is the victim’s Alzheimer’s-afflicted grandmother. Desperate to find Cheyenne, Thayne needs Riley’s expertise. With time running short, they delve into dangerous smalltown secrets while fighting against an increasingly ruthless adversary. But when her past and his present collide in a shocking revelation, can they overcome the secrets that have kept them apart?
