O
ver the past four years one of the most impressive aspects of the Palm Springs Women’s Jazz Festival has been the gathering of the Jazz AllStar musicians and artists performing throughout the weekend. Over 20 of today’s jazz greats and rising-stars will gather for the Labor Day Weekend, September 2 – 4, to perform at the Annenberg Theater, Indian Canyons Golf Resort and Hard Rock Hotel. Recently honored by the City of Los Angeles with a Living Jazz Legend Award, Sweet Baby J’ai brings a wealth of experience and focus to her role as the Festival’s Artistic Director. She is celebrated for her creative and daring programming. SBJ’s penchant for paring the world’s most visible jazz artists with top-notch female musicians from around the country for a multi-day festival makes for many delightful surprises and musical discoveries for audiences and performers alike. “We have crafted a collection of extraordinary musicians merging jazz, blues and funk who will descend on Palm Springs over the Labor Day Weekend for a compelling musical tapestry,” said Sweet Baby J’ai. Many of the all-stars have albums of their own as well an impressive list of artists that they have performed with both live and in-studio. Joining headliners Dee Dee

The next morning I went out and found a whole bunch of solar decorations halfway under the gate. Some were damaged, and one still had its cardboard tag on it.

Old Schoolhouse Lecture Series: ‘A Chemehuevi Song’ Join Dr. Clifford Trafzer, UCR distinguished professor of history and Rupert Costo Chair in American Indian History. During the 1860s, Chemehuevi from the Colorado River moved west to the Oasis of Mara —now Twentynine Palms— to preserve their tribal sovereignty. Long inhabited by Serrano Indians,
the Oasis also became the home of Chemehuevi. The two tribes lived together peacefully until 1909, when a murder forced the Chemehuevi into the Coachella Valley. Cliff Trafzer’s latest book looks at the history and culture of a remarkable people who refused to vanish. 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, September 9 at 7 p.m. This lecture is open to the public and costs $5 per person at the door. Optional dinner with speaker
at 5 p.m. at the 29 Palms Inn, reservations are limited and attendees are responsible for their own meal. If interested in dinner please RSVP by calling (760) 367-5535 before Wednesday, September 7.
Salton Sea Bill Signed by Governor Jerry Brown Governor Jerry Brown, on Friday, signed Senate Bill 1416 by Senator Jeff Stone (R-LaQuinta), that will allow Californians to help restore the Salton Sea. The bill passed the State Senate
last week by a 37-0 vote. The new law will allow Californians to make a voluntarily contribution to the “Revive the Salton Sea Fund” by checking a box on their State Income Tax form.
It has been projected that without action to stop deterioration, the long-term social and economic costs - higher health care costs, increased illnesses like asthma and other more serious diseases, lower
property values and others - could range between $29 billion and $70 billion over the next 30 years. “There is much work to be done to save and restore the Salton Sea,” Senator Stone said.
Slang Origins ‘A1 at Lloyd’s’ Meaning: The highest quality. Origin: The phrase was originally literal in nature, as A1 at Lloyd’s was a category of ship in Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, which used an alphanumeric code to classify
4
ships for insurance purposes. A1 denoted the highest quality vessels. The classification was defined in the Register itself. The name Lloyd’s comes from Edward Lloyd, the proprietor of
a London coffee house in Tower Street in 1688. Lloyd encouraged a clientele of ships’ captains, merchants and ship owners and provided printed sheets containing information about shipping as

a service to them. This was later known as Lloyd’s of London and Lloyd’s Register of British and Foreign Shipping in 1834.

America’s first automatic teller machine (ATM) makes its public debut, dispensing cash to customers at Chemical Bank in Rockville Center, New York. ATMs went on to revolutionize the banking industry, eliminating the need to visit a bank to conduct basic financial transactions. By the 1980s, these money machines had become widely popular and handled many of the functions previously performed by human tellers, such as check deposits and money transfers between accounts. Today, ATMs are as indispensable to most people as cell phones and e-mail.

No company has done more than Apple, Inc., to bring the world of

technology together with the world of music. But those who are too young to remember the world before the iPod may never appreciate how just how far apart those worlds were back in 1982, when Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak hatched an ambitious (and expensive) musical plan: Committing a sizable chunk of his sizable fortune to a musical event billed as the biggest thing since Woodstock, Wozniak staged a threeday concert in the mountains of San Bernardino County that featured some of the day’s biggest names in music. The “Us Festival” kicked off under scorching conditions.

PUZZLE PAGE
HOROSCOPE SEPTEMBER 1 - 7 ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be called to try your hand at playing the next level. If you’re overlooked or challenged in the beginning, this is just a sign that you’re going for the right size goal. If it were too easy, you wouldn’t get much out of it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Seeming disasters can open up the door for something wonderful. Remember a time in your life when this was the case. The next fantastic adventure will begin with an undesirable circumstance. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What if everyone around you is part of a plot to delight, help and enhance your life? That is actually more plausible than whatever negative thing you could assume. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are many ways to connect with that which is deep, interesting and complex. If there is but one way to gain acceptance, you’re dealing with a superficial entity that cannot fulfil anything beyond a superficial need.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The mirror lies. The selfie lies. Even your own thought processes can lie. Trusted counsel is absolutely essential to helping you understand what’s real about your self-concept. Ask for feedback. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People are generally not direct in everyday interactions. Most people can’t tell when others are faking. You can. Poke into this. Encourage honesty from others so you have a chance at fulfilling their real needs. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will perceive nearly everyone you meet as goodnatured and smart in some particular way. You’ll be right. This is at least partly due to the fact that you bring the very best out in others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Remember that situation that got completely, ridiculously out of hand? It still makes you laugh to think about it. The current scene is threatening to go in a similar direction. The question: Is this funny or just sad?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You need to work, play and build with those who communicate effectively and appropriately, because life is going at such a pace for you these days that there isn’t a lot of room for miscommunication.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be sizing up new people. Once filtered through your self-concept and your worldview, the result is a nuanced, quirky perception that, while not exactly inaccurate, should be taken with a grain of salt, even by you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Intellectual stimulation is important to your well-being. Not only will new ideas and knowledge excite you; the discussion and application of such will ignite a fiery passion in you. You’ll feel keenly alive!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sociability is high on the list of qualities you seek in a partner or teammate. Not only do you want help entertaining and serving your people; you want a partner who has his or her own people and will gladly share access.

By Gilly Macmillan Available September 6
Zoe is a seventeenyear-old musical prodigy with a genius IQ. Three years ago, she was involved in a tragic incident that left three classmates dead. She served her time, and now her mother, Maria, is resolved to keep that devastating fact tucked far away from their new beginning, hiding the past even from her new husband and demanding Zoe do the same. Tonight Zoe is giving a recital that Maria has been planning for months. It needs to be the performance of her life. But instead, by the end of the evening, Maria is dead. In the aftermath, everyone—police, family, Zoe’s former solicitor, and Zoe herself—tries to piece together what happened. But as Zoe knows all too well, the truth is rarely

straightforward, and the closer we are to someone, the less we may see. The Six: The Lives of the Mitford Sisters By Laura Thompson Available September 6
The eldest was a razor-sharp novelist of upper-class manners; the second was loved by John Betjeman; the third was a fascist who married Oswald Mosley; the fourth idolized Hitler and shot herself in the head when Britain declared war on Germany; the fifth was a member of the American Communist Party; the sixth became Duchess of Devonshire. They were the Mitford sisters. The intertwined stories of their stylish and scandalous lives – hold up a revelatory mirror to upper-class English life before and after WWII.
In a NASA-funded study, scientists from Wheeling Jesuit University monitored the responses of 25 college students during simulated driving scenarios. The volunteers reported that peppermint lowered their feelings of fatigue
or anxiety by 20%. Peppermint and cinnamon each decreased frustration by 25%, increased alertness by 30%, and made the ride seem 30% shorter. Not a gum or candy person? Buy peppermint or cinnamon aromatherapy diffusers for the car.
