Up to 20,000 spectators are expected in downtown on Friday, Nov. 11 for the 20th Annual City of Palm Springs Veterans Day Parade which will begin at 3:30 p.m. in downtown Palm Springs. The parade kicks off on Palm Canyon Drive at Ramon Road and heads north concluding at Alejo Road. Immediately following the parade, the Palm Springs High School Spirit of the Sands Band will perform a post-parade patriotic concert. The concert concludes with a fireworks finale. This year’s theme is “Honoring All Who Served.” The City of Palm Springs proudly announces that once again, the Veterans Day National Committee of the Department of Veterans Affairs has designated the City of Palm Springs as a regional site for the observance of Veterans Day.
Palm Springs is one of approximately 60 events nationwide to receive this important designation. The opening ceremony at the Main Stage located at the intersection of Amado and Palm Canyon Drive will feature Sweethots, a small, male-voice ensemble that was formed by members of the California Desert Chorale. Currently in their third season, the Sweethots perfoprm at events around the Coachella Valley. With thousands of United States Marines and Sailors stationed locally at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, the City’s Veterans Day Parade is a must see for many Coachella Valley residents who have family or who have served or are currently serving in the Armed Forces.

Editor’s Note “Sordid Lives”, one of Palm Springs favorites is returning to the Palm Canyon Theatre stage, Nov. 11-20. The cult classic tells the story of unconditional love, acceptance and “coming out” in a Texas family, as they converge for the matriarch’s funeral. If you haven’t seen it, I highly suggest you try to make one of the shows. When is the last time you played a
board game? It’s been years since I played an intense game of Jenga. If you’re into board games then you might want to pay a visit to the Yucca Valley Community Center’s monthly board game extravaganza on Nov. 12. Get ready for the supermoon of a lifetime. On Nov. 14 at 5:52 a.m., make sure to step outside and gaze up towards the moon and wit-
ness the closest full moon of 2016. What’s exciting is that we haven’t seen a full moon this close to Earth since Jan. 26, 1948. We won’t get to see another like it until Nov. 25, 2034. So make sure you set your alarm clock to bask in the glory of the most brilliant supermoon the modern world has seen. Until next week … José

Palm Canyon Theatre Reprises a Local Favorite, ‘Sordid Lives’ A Palm Springs favorite is back … and already selling out fast! The Palm Canyon Theatre will present Del Shores’ Sordid Lives, Nov. 11-20. The cult classic tells the story of unconditional love, acceptance and “coming out” in a Texas family, as they converge for the matriarch’s funeral. The original stage play premiered in Los Angeles in 1996 and ultimately won 14 Drama-Logue Awards. This is the sixth time the show has hit the stage at the Palm Canyon Theatre. This
year, many favorite performers reprise their roles, and others take on new ones. Se Layne, who has been cast as Dr. Eve several times, is playing Bitsy Mae this year. The ensemble cast also includes Yo Younger as Latrelle; Mike Hadley as Brother Boy; Shirley LeMaster as Sissy; Denise Strand as Dr. Eve; Morgana Corelli as Juanita; Mary Ewing as Lavonda; Jennifer Bennett as Noleta; Dan Graff as G.W.; Matt Lawson as Wardell; Nick Georgea as Ty; and Don Cilluffo as Odell and Rev.
Barnes. Steven Fisher is directing. The eccentric characters’ lives intertwine in a comical but meaningful way. Storylines include a mother in denial over her gay son; a barfly/ singer at the local watering hole; a cheating heart whose wooden legs accidentally aid in the death of his mistress (the family matriarch); and the cheating heart’s wife who tries her hand at revenge therapy. Sordid Lives opens on Friday, Nov. 11 and runs through Sunday, Nov. 20. Friday and Saturday per-
formances begin at 8 p.m. Sunday matinees begin at 2 p.m. The Thursday show begins at 7 p.m. Tickets to all shows are $29.50.

Spinach May be Better for Us Than We Thought Scientists at MIT may have found yet another beneficial use for spinach, especially when it is sprinkled with what they call carbon nanotubes, says the Association of Mature American Citizens. Nanotubes are actually tiny semiconductors that when combined with leafy spinach may be capable of sniffing out bombs and other explosive devices. The plant, itself, is
November 10, 2016
“very environmentally responsive,” as research team leader Michael Strano puts it. The nanotubes make it receptive to the ingredients of landmines and other such deadly devices.

It Works: Drink Rice Water to Soothe an Upset Stomach Rice water is exactly what it sounds like-the water left-over after you cook rice. It acts a demulcent, meaning a substance that relieves inflammation by forming a sort of soothing barrier over a membrane, in this case, the lining of your stomach. You will need: 1/2 cup of white rice, 2 cups of water and a pot.
November 10, 2016
Directions: Cook rice with twice the amount of water you normally would. Cook rice over medium-low heat. As the rice starts to become tender, remove it from the heat and let it soak for three minutes with the lid on the pan. Drain and drink the water warm, adding a smidge of honey if needed. Save the rice for a bland meal later.

Did You Know? Bill Gates purchased Leonardo da Vinci’s Codex Hammer As the ultimate Renaissance man, Leonardo da Vinci meticulously recorded his thoughts, musings and sketches in journals throughout his life.

We wish there was better way of knowing when a pear is ripe. What we remember most about making Pear Crumble was the angst of sniffing, pressing and just plain guessing about the fruit’s ripeness. That was before we read How to Pick a Peach by Russ Parsons (Houghton Mifflin, 2007) and learned pears are harvested when they’re hard and only then do they start to ripen. Also, they ripen from the inside out, which means when the outside is soft, the inside is mushy. Whenever we’re in a hurry to make the crumble, we follow Parsons’ instructions and put the pears in a paper bag to speed things along. Or, we let them ripen on the counter until they’re ever so slightly soft at the stem ends. Either way, it can be a tough call. That’s why we think a graduate student in food technology who’s looking for something to study could revolutionize the industry by creating a tag to attach to fruit—like a Post-It—that changes color when the fruit is ripe. Now, that would be progress.
Pear Crumble
Firm pears, such as Bartlett, work well for this crumble.
November 10, 2016
Crumble: • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour • 1/4 cup granulated sugar • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar • 1/4 cup butter, chilled, cut into small pieces • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts Filling: • 6 cups firm, peeled pears, cut into small chunks (about 2 1/2 pounds) • 1/3 cup apple cider or juice • 1 tablespoon lemon juice • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour • 1/4 cup orange marmalade Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 375F. 2. To prepare crumble, combine flour and sugars in a large bowl. Cut in butter with two knives or your fingers until crumbly. Stir in walnuts. 3. To prepare filling, combine pears, cider, lemon juice and flour in a large bowl. Spoon into an 8-inch square baking dish. Dot with marmalade. Sprinkle with crumble mixture. 4. Bake 40 minutes or until fruit is bubbling at edges and top is golden brown. Serves 8.

CVWD Customers Continue to Move Toward Permanent Changes in Water Use Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) customers continue to use less water despite the elimination of mandatory conservation, showing their commitment to permanent changes in water use. CVWD customers used 7.3% less water in Oct. 2016 compared to 2013, the year the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) continues to use as a benchmark. CVWD’s cumulative conservation since June 2015 is approximately 23%, the same as the statewide cumulative reduction. “A modest uptick in water use is expected as Californians shift away from the extreme conservation required last year to more meaningful changes that will result in permanent water savings,” said General Manager Jim Barrett. “This shows our customers continue to care about water efficiency.” When asked to make mandatory
10
cuts in water use in 2015 due to California’s emergency drought situation, CVWD adopted water-use restrictions and implemented drought penalties to encourage customers to conserve. Many customers responded by taking extensive measures, including letting lawns go brown. “State conservation mandates have now been lifted for the Coachella Valley with more emphasis on long-term planning for future droughts,” Barrett said. CVWD spent nearly $7 million last fiscal year in conservation rebate and incentive programs that help customers make changes that will result in permanent water savings. Customers have converted nearly 12 million square feet of grass to desert landscaping through our turf rebate program since 2009. Customers have replaced more than 1,400 old toilets with more efficient models through our rebate
program since 2012. Staff installed more than 3,000 free smart irrigation controllers in 2016 and approved rebates for more than 774 smart irrigation systems at homeowner associations. “We have committed another $7 million this fiscal year to fund these valuable programs that support permanent reductions in water use. I encourage all customers to take advantage of these programs and embrace conservation as the new California lifestyle,” Barrett said. CVWD recently submitted to the State its certified water sup-
www.desertmobilehomenews.com
ply data, which is the factor now being used in calculating mandatory conservation targets. Because the Coachella Valley has a healthy groundwater supply and imported water for groundwater replenishment, the region is prepared for future drought and no longer under a state-mandated conservation target. Water waste restrictions remain in effect. For a complete list of conservation programs, tips for reducing water use and existing water-use restrictions, visit www.cvwd.org/conservation.

PUZZLE PAGE
HOROSCOPE NOVEMBER 10 - 16 ARIES (March 21-April 19). The work will be hard, but it’s the kind of hard you choose for yourself. Because this challenge was one of your own deciding, you’ll approach it with a glad heart and a willing hand.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The most fun you’ll have today will be in doing something you’re more or less awful at. There’s something about knowing it’s not going to be good that will set free the laughter of your soul.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People will tell you that the past doesn’t matter anymore. Incorrect. The past matters a great deal. It’s the foundation for what you’re building now. Sift, sort and reframe it if you have to, in the name of self-empowerment.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People can be very unfair, self-serving and just plain strange in what they choose to acknowledge or ignore. If you’re not getting the validation you crave it may be because someone is threatened by your fabulousness.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re willing to accept that you have to take on some of the dull or difficult work to better yourself. But does it all have to be dull or difficult? Of course not. Get your fair share of fun in there.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If your relationship is a muscle group, empathy is the dumbbell you need to lift again and again in order to strengthen it. Tired of being empathetic? Set it down. Shake it off. Take a break before you go another round.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Time to drop that person who makes you feel undeserving. You’re not doing anyone favors by feeling guilty for wanting to be your own person, live your own life and claim the freedom that is your birthright. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re in a mood to compartmentalize, to devote yourself entirely to what you’re involved with, no looking back (or sideways, or forward for that matter). With this attitude, you’ll be mightily productive. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you have the privilege of spending time with one who has not yet been molded by society in the sense of right and wrong and its prejudices and manners, you will learn quite a lot. The under-8 set can be wonderful teachers.
November 10, 2016
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Hard work doesn’t always pay off in the result it was aimed toward, but it always pays off in some way. Character, self-esteem, the attainment of skills and relationships — it will come back to you in some way, believe it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Spend as much time as you can with people who live the way you want to live, who achieve the results you value and who make you feel good about what you have to offer. It’s a no-brainer, but it bears repeating. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Serenity and attachment won’t go together today. The action of bonding will involve friction. You can still find happiness, though. Either accept that relationships are going to be emotionally taxing or opt for solitude.

Do You Remember What Happened This Week in History? November 10, 1969
“Sesame Street,” a pioneering TV show that would teach generations of young children the alphabet and how to count, makes its broadcast debut. “Sesame Street,” with its memorable theme song (“Can you tell me how to get/How to get to Sesame Street”), went on to become the most widely viewed children’s program in the world. It has aired in more than 120 countries.
November 11, 1918 At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the Great War ends. At 5 a.m. that morning, Germany, bereft of manpower and supplies and faced with imminent invasion, signed an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside Compiégne, France. The First World War left nine million soldiers dead and 21 million wounded, with Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, France, and Great Britain each losing nearly a million
