‘Hello Again! The Songs of Allan Sherman’ starring Linden Waddell in Palm Desert Los Angeles based singer and actress Linden Waddell brings her hit cabaret show, “Hello Again! The Songs Of Allan Sherman” to the Arthur Newman Theatre at the Joslyn Center in Palm Desert on Sunday, July 24 at 2 p.m. Pianist Marjorie Poe will join her and tickets are $11 cash only with doors opening at 1 p.m. Linden Waddell has performed in over 50 musicals. As a member of the Colony Theatre, she appeared in countless productions, winning numerous awards and nomina-
tions. An alumna of LACC Theatre Academy. “Hello Again! The Songs Of Allan Sherman” is Linden’s fifth solo cabaret show and developed when she performed one of the composer’s songs at an event and was so well received that she spent a year writing the story and working with director and choreographer Janet Miller. After it’s successful debut in LA, word of its popularity spread quickly and has since played to soldout houses throughout Southern California. This performance is her first time playing to Palm Springs
area audiences and she hopes the demographic will remember many of the parody songs from Sherman’s heyday in the 1960’s, when radio stations played his music. The performance is presented by Les Michaels’ Sundays In Summer Cabaret Concert Series. Arthur Newman Theatre in the Joslyn Center, located at 73-750 Catalina Way in Palm Desert. Please call (760) 325-2731 with any questions or go to www.lesmichaels.com/joslyn.

When the great ballerina Anna Pavlova contracted pneumonia while touring in The Hague, she was told she needed an operation that would leave her unable to dance. She replied, “If I can’t dance, then I would rather be dead.” She died on January 23, 1931 (three weeks short of her 50th birthday) while on tour in the Netherlands. She died holding her Dying Swan costume in her arms. In accordance with old ballet tradition, on the day she was to have next performed, the show went on, with a spotlight circling the empty stage where she would have danced.

A Summer Party to Remember It’s summer, the weather is great and your guests are gathering around the pool or at the cottage. Everything is set for an enjoyable evening. But how can you turn it into a memorable one? All you need are a few tricks: • Choose a theme (disco, the 1950’s, 1970’s...) or a country, China or Mexico for example. This will create a special atmosphere and
give you ideas for the decorations, the music, the menu, the dress code, etc. • Are you inviting people who don’t know each other? A simple game at the beginning of the evening will help to break the ice. It could be a question game during which each guest must be approached individually to find the answers. You could organize the seating arrange-
ments in order to help the conversation along. • You can, of course, choose to prepare all the dishes yourself. However, if you don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen all day, why not ask each of your guests to bring a dish? Potluck suppers are always enjoyable as everyone feels they are contributing to the meal. Moreover, this avoids the worry of having to
buy a present for the host and hostess and everyone is sure of making some culinary discoveries. • Finally, be a responsible host and hostess: ask your guests to hand over their car keys when they arrive and don’t allow anyone to leave who has had one too many drinks. Everything must be done to avoid the evening from turning into a sad memory...
Slang Origins ‘Read Between the Lines’ Meaning: Discern a meaning which isn’t made obvious or explicit. Origins: This expression derives from a simple form of cryptography, in which a hidden meaning was conveyed by secreting it between lines of text. It originated in the mid 19th century and soon became used to refer to the deci-

phering of any coded or unclear form of communication, whether written or not; for example, one might say “She said she was happy to go to the party but didn’t seem concerned when it was cancelled. Reading between the lines, I don’t think she wanted to go in the first place.”

Bookmark it! New and Upcoming Reads Heroes of the Frontier By Dave Eggers Available July 26
Josie and her children’s father have split up, she’s been sued by a former patient and lost her dental practice, and she’s grieving the death of a young man senselessly killed. When her ex asks to take the children to meet his new fiancée’s family, Josie makes a run for it, figuring Alaska is about as far as she can get without a passport. Josie and her kids, Paul and Ana, rent a rattling old RV named the Chateau, and at first their trip feels like a vacation: They see bears and bison, they eat hot dogs cooked on a bonfire, and they spend nights parked along icy cold rivers in dark forests. But as they drive, pushed north by the ubiquitous wildfires, Josie is chased by en-

It Works! Use peppermint oil to ease itchy insect bites
Instead of scratching that insect bite, apply a drop or two of peppermint oil to the area of the bite. Peppermint oil has a cooling effect, and it increases circulation to the bite, which helps with speeding up the healing process. Alternatively, if you have toothpaste that contains peppermint oil, apply a dab.

Williams originally made history on September 17, 1983, when she became the first black woman to win the Miss America crown.

HOROSCOPE JULY 21 - JULY 27 ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t be too worried about how the future will work out. All you have to know about that right now is that it will. And by the way, there are many who love you and are on your side, wanting you to create and thrive. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your insistence on getting it right might be interfering with your ability to get it done. Finishing is more important than finishing perfectly, or even finishing excellently. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are receptive to other people’s news. You celebrate their stories. You listen to and remember the details of their days. This is what will put you in the upper echelon of friendship. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Ideally, a romantic partner is also a friend. Whether the friendship comes first or last is beside the point, but for this relationship to work, the friendship has got to be in there somewhere! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your commitment to a project may be casual, unspoken, and private, but it’s there, it’s strong, and it will go honored. Other activities of lower priority will fall away. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll give a magic send-off to a bad situation. As for the pain, guilt, regret and general negativity that it caused you, you can now firmly say, “buhbye,” and it will truly and completely be over. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Maybe you’re living the dream, but it’s not your dream,
8
at least not anymore. You’ll wonder when exactly it was that you wanted this. Try and remember your original vision. What about it is different now? SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There is no such thing as a perfect relationship, and some of your favorite ones have been about as far from perfect as you’re willing to go. What you’ve worked through continues to makes you better. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). That song you used to love and listen to often will come on randomly in your environment, reminding you of a certain someone. You’ll always have a special space in your heart for this person, even though things have changed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are, at your core, forgiving, loving and selfless. That doesn’t mean you always have to behave in such a way to reflect this. Sometimes you have to work to get there, and that’s OK, too. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t need to prove yourself — or at least you shouldn’t need to. The one who makes you feel as though you do: Is this person really qualified to sit above you and judge? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As for the struggle that’s eaten up so much of your time lately, what would happen if you gave it up? An easygoing mentality paves the way for good fortune.

“Bread salads” may sound a bit odd, but they couldn’t make more sense. Made with extra-large bread cubes nestled alongside veggies, they’re perfect for soaking up juicy tomatoes and a tasty vinaigrette. Many American versions of panzanella use croutons, but the authentic version is made with a dry bread that is soaked in water to reconstitute it, then mixed with tomato, cucumber, basil, and onion, and dressed with olive oil and vinegar. In hard times, it was often made with just bread and onion, but today you may see such additions as tuna, green beans, bell peppers, anchovies, hard-boiled eggs and capers. This panzanella takes advantage of summer corn and cherry tomatoes and features baby kale for and extra flavor boost.
Summer Panzanella Ingredients • 8 ounces baguette, cubed • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil • 1/2 teaspoon salt • Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 ears corn, shucked • 1 pint heirloom cherry tomatoes, cut into halves • 2 ounces baby kale or arugula Vinaigrette • 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard • 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar • 2 tablespoons minced shallot • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil • 1/4 teaspoon salt Directions 1. Preheat oven to 375F. 2. Toss bread cubes with olive oil, salt and pepper, place on a baking sheet, and toast in oven until lightly brown. 3. Cut kernels from corn cobs and place in a large bowl with bread. Add tomato halves and kale. 4. To prepare vinaigrette, combine all ingredients and mix well. Add toasted bread cubes to bowl. Pour dressing over salad. Serve within 15 minutes so bread doesn’t get too soggy. Serves 6.
