This Week in Neighborhood Park News Joshua Springs, MHP By Joan Carroll America Loves: We step along timeworn bridges from East to West, South to North. We float upon endless waves and currents in our canoes, our sailboats, our steamships. Repelled by distrust, disgust and destruction. We embrace the new, create spaces to realize our deepest dreams: We electrify and illuminate the night. Our minds link and share anytime, anywhere. We teach humanity to fly, to walk and roll on other worlds. We learn to play well together – we win, we win, we win, we lose. And when we fail, we do not forever fall, but our opponents warmly grasp our hands, neighbors dive into the icy waters to lift us up and strangers revive us, feed us and open homes until we can thrive once more. That’s what makes us great. Written by Dann M. Sklarew “Associate Professor of Sustainability Science, George Mason Universi-

ty.” Dec. 11, 2016. Dann is my first nephew. He is a third generation American. America is strong in our diversity – not hate. I think this says it all. Saw the Citrus Growers Parade recently. The parade is the city of Orlando’s largest parade of the year and features the marching bands and cheerleaders of the two schools playing in Orlando’s Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl game, and the Russel Athletic Bowl. The parade also consists of high school marching bands from across the country and floats from Orlando’s biggest theme parks of Disney World, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld. This is one of the few parades to see Mickey Mouse and Minny Mouse on a horse-drawn carriage outside of the theme parks. The Orlando Citrus Parade consists of floats made from Florida Oranges and other citrus. Some 100,000 pieces of citrus are placed on the floats by some 600 volunteers each year. Did see the queen on her float? The parade had an enthusiastic crowd
lining the streets in downtown Orlando, Fl. It reminded me of a county fair parade. Keith and Sharon J. at #283 got in just before New Years.

We’ve lost the Drive Thru Sequoia Tree in Calaveras Big Trees State Park. The last downpour caused the tree to fall on Sunday, Jan. 8, leaving a large pile of rubble.

Mary Ann Green, former Tribal Chairperson of the Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians, passes away Mary Ann Green, the former Tribal Chairperson of the Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians, passed away after battling a long illness. Mary Ann died peacefully Sunday evening at her home in Coachella surrounded by family. Mary Ann was Tribal Chairperson 1988-2016 and was instrumental in protecting, maintaining and expanding the government, culture and traditions of the Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians on its reservation. Her work to ensure Tribal self-sufficiency and economic stability for her Tribe led to the development of many beneficial programs for Tribal members, a three-megawatt renewable energy project, an organic farm, and the Augustine Casino, currently in its 15th year of operations. Mary Ann is survived by three children; Amanda, Ronnie and William Vance; and three grandchildren; Kayliee, Payton and Jayla. She will be remembered fondly by hundreds (if not thousands) who knew her, worked for her and loved

her. It was her leadership and strength that made the Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians a successful Tribal government for its members, as well as building the Augustine Casino, and numerous other projects, to ensure the economic success and longevity of the Tribe. Through her efforts, the Tribe has become one of the largest employers in the lower Coachella Valley and improved the well-being of those associates and their communities. It was her heart, kindness, and compassion that drove the spirit of giving that the Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians became known for under Mary Ann’s leadership. Her impact on those who knew her, as well as the communities they live in, will be felt for years to come. An all-night wake is planned for Friday, Jan. 20 at the Torres-Martinez Great Hall and Gymnasium in Thermal. A private graveside funeral service will follow Saturday, Jan. 21 at the Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians’ Tribal Cemetery in Coachella.

PUZZLE PAGE
HOROSCOPE JANUARY 19 - 25 ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re in learning mode. You’ll note how people interact and how they solve problems, and you’ll get valuable tips. You’ll absorb a week’s worth of experience in one day. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you want the change badly enough, you’ll start now, which just happens to be the best, if not the only, time. If you don’t want the change badly enough, start now anyway; you won’t regret it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Setting your expectations well — that’s grace. Setbacks are normal. They will certainly happen. It’s something to accept, along with the responsibility of getting back up and into the game. CANCER (June 22-July 22). “Liberty” is a concept. “Happiness” is an emotional state. And “love,” well, it’s debatable. You tend to think of it as an action, and you won’t go wrong if you live it that way, too. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The energy of rebellion is churning below the surface of you today. It’s not that you have authority issues per se; it’s just that you’re ready to take the lead in your life, and anyone else who tries will be out of his or her depth. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Should you give your trust upfront and then withdraw it if the person proves untrustworthy, or should you withhold your trust until you have sufficient proof? The first way will be more exciting.
January 19, 2017
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t mind being needed, but when it’s every single time, you start to wonder whether you’re being taken advantage of. In a give-andtake relationship, it’s your duty to make sure that you’re doing a little of both. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s important you supportively interact with yourself. High stress levels make this harder. Reduce the stress! It’s not because you want an easy life; it’s because you’re not helping anyone by having a hard one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Those who know the harsh northern winters say there is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothes. You can apply this adage and suit up well for today’s “weather,” in whatever form it may come. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Get your reverse calendar going, because the best way to tackle this goal is backward. When you start your plan at the end, you’re likelier to gravitate toward the steps that are relevant and reasonable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are determined, brave and willing to act even when the reward is out of reach. You’re extremely attractive to those who share this rare and very true grit. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Giving people too much time to do a task is actually demotivating, and the same goes for yourself. With a deadline, you’ll excel. Without one, you’ll waste precious moments.

A Journey Through Art History: CNBC’s Donald Osborne headlines book signing and talk at Heather James Fine Art Heather James Fine Art is hosting a book signing on Jan. 26, from 5 to 7 p.m., with Donald Osborne, host of the CNBC Primetime show “Jay Leno’s Garage,” and author of the new book “Stile Transatlantico/ Transatlantic Style: A Romance of Chrome & Fins,” published by Coachbuilt Press. The book portrays the story of the fertile creative exchange between Italy and America in mid-century automotive design. Osborne is also the curator of the current exhibition at the gallery, Ferrari and Futurists - An Italian Look at Speed, that showcases four vintage Ferraris. The four limited edition models in the exhibition encapsulate the speed, emotion, and personal connection of Ferrari, and are from the varied classic car collection of Don Murray. The Ferraris on exhibit include a 1950 Inter Berlinetta, a 1951 Ferrari 340 America Berlinetta, a 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Speciale PF, and
12
a 1963 Ferrari 400 Superamerica. During the event Osborne will share passages from the book, while discussing the cars in the exhibition in further detail. Notably, the book also includes evocative photographs by Michael Furman. Furman photographs the world’s most significant cars, creating portraits that capture the historical and aesthetic importance of classic automobiles, and within this book his photographs showcase some of the most iconic designs from both countries in the period. Free and open to the public, books will be available for $100 per copy, and light appetizers, wine, and other beverages will be served. Osborne became well known as co-host for two seasons of the nationally broadcast TV show “What’s My Car Worth” on Discovery Channel’s Velocity network, and he has been an editor-at-large of Sports Car Market magazine and long-time
Donald Osborne contributor to publications including The New York Times, Business Week Online, The Wall Street Journal online, Hagerty’s Magazine, Art & Antiques and others. Osborne carries an Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA) designation of the American Society of Appraisers and is recognized by leading collectors, institutions and organizations in the United States, UK and Europe for his expertise in the inspection, evaluation, valuation, purchase

and sale of vintage Italian, French, German, British, and American car. He travels the world attending major events, rallies and auctions, and he has served as a judge and emcee at some of the leading concours events in the country including the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours on the Avenue, Santa Fe Concorso, Concours of America at St. John’s and many more.
