Got Culture?
Cabot’s Pueblo Museum delivers it in spades with a memorable weekend at Cabot’s Pueblo Museum
I
wanted to have an art gallery where they [artists] could show their work …” said Cabot Yerxa. Cultural Weekends foster Cabot’s vision of bringing art, culture, and people together and nobody does it better than Cabot’s Pueblo Museum. Enjoy the fun in the second of three Cultural Weekends (Feb. 24-26), this time featuring artisans from Mata Ortiz Village in Mexico. The Cultural Weekend is free and open to the public. Attendees will experience an exceptional setting, observe master
artisans at work, and experience the artistry and ancestry of Mata Ortiz potters. Guests can also meet Lydia Quezada Celado de Talavera, the youngest sister of Juan Quezada, the man widely credited for the Mata Ortiz pottery movement. Lydia, a firstgeneration potter, created the style of black-on-black pottery, works in white and brown clays, and her pottery is smooth, thin-walled, and light weight—all three hallmarks of quality of Mata Ortiz ceramic. Locals can also engage with Lila
Silveira, who studied under Juan Quezada. Under his guidance, she has learned how to dig and refine the clay, developed painting techniques, and fired the pot on the ground in the traditional method. Conversations with Elvira Bugarini Cota are also on the roster. The artist works collaboratively with her husband, Jesus Pedregon, and their techniques and designs have evolved. Each design is painted in detail with long strands of human hair in the traditional manner of Mata Ortiz pottery.
As for Cabot, the man was an artist, adventurer and writer. He embraced many cultures and beliefs and was a true friend to the Native Indians living in the region. As a community advocate he helped found the city of Desert Hot Springs and was instrumental in bringing visitors and residents to the region. He began construction of his Pueblo, one of the most culturally significant buildings, and the first green structure, in the Coachella Valley in 1939 and continued adding to the 5,000-square foot structure until shortly before his death in 1965. Cabot’s Pueblo Museum is located at 67616 East Desert View Avenue, Desert Hot Springs. Group tours are available. Visit cabotsmuseum.org or call 760-329-7610.

Neighborhood Park News: What’s New This Week Joshua Springs, MHP By Joan Carroll Valentine’s Day potluck was held with Carlena S. and Stuart H. as hosts. They were helped by many volunteers. Thanks to all. We had lasagna, potato and vegetable casseroles, spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, all kinds of salads and vegetables. Ham, meat loaf and chicken was also on the menu. Dessert was furnished by hosts which included apple, berry, cherry and mixed fruit pie and no sugar added vanilla ice cream. After dinner, people were given stuffed animals for prizes for being married the longest—Lunetta
and Delbert 60-plus years, Paul and Shirley 70-plus, Keith and Sharon 59 years, Lou and Gerry 6l years. Mort and Loah 58 years. After stuffing ourselves, Carlena called couples and singles to pick out a stuffed animal prize and read or sing a new saying. Some of the sayings were a bit risque but all in good fun. I picked out a Dalmation toy when I got up, thinking my great granddaughter would enjoy having “Spots.” I sang “How Much Was the Doggy in the Window?” The prizes for participating were certificates to restaurants or a ticket to a performance at Caliente Springs about Elvis. What a fun Valentine’s Day Potluck.
Nancy A. and Gerri S. coffee time hosts. Thanks for the bread, cookies, fresh fruit to go with our coffee on the 6th. A brand new sink was installed in the kitchen at Rec Hall. Thanks to our handymen Will R. and Tim M. A new pipe for watering bushes laid and new plants set in by Tim M. and volunteer landscaping crew on the south side. Thanks to all those that participants in this project. All set for summer now. I heard from Claire K. She will be moving to an Assisted Living Center in Maryland on March l. She will have a efficiency apartment with a small kitchen and bedroom. Claire’s getting along with a walker and is
able to go to the Senior Center where she plays dime bingo. She will send her address to us once she moves in. Gordon and Marion were in Mexico recently—for several weeks— and returned Feb. 6. They had a nice time in Cabo San Lucas. She said the water was a bit rough and knocked them over, and that a man who was walking his dog along the beach helped them out. Thanks to all who worked on the non-working street light near our gate. It took quite a bit of doing to find the electrical break. The bright LED light makes it look like daytime.
Looks Like They’re Making a Comeback Shades of “Jurassic Park?” The Long Now Foundation’s Revive and Restore program is moving ahead with its plans to rescue endangered animal species and to resurrect ex-

in 1662. The Woolly Mammoth may also be in line for what the Foundation calls “de-extinction.” It last walked the earth some 4,000 years ago.

Mastering Midlife and Beyond at UCR Palm Desert The Second Half Institute at UCR Palm Desert is the nation’s first university-based program to focus on mastering the unprecedented challenges and opportunities of midlife and beyond today. In recent years, tens of millions of us in their forties, fifties and sixties have found ourselves facing career, financial and personal challenges beyond anything we anticipated. We have seen our careers derailed and nest eggs devastated by economic uncertainty. Many of us have grown restless or burned out in our jobs, careers or professions. Still, others have unexpectedly
‘flunked retirement’ finding the long-awaited golden years aimless and disappointing. Over the course of this program, you will meet, learn from, and personally interact with America’s leading experts on successfully managing, and flourishing in life’s second half. Second Half Institute will host Mastering Midlife and Beyond seminar held on Saturday, March 4.

Health Assessment and Research for Communities Provides a Snapshot of Health in the Coachella Valley HARC, Inc. (Health Assessment and Research for Communities) is a local nonprofit that has been tracking community health in our Coachella Valley for the past ten years. HARC’s latest data, released on Jan. 31, 2017, marked the fourth survey, which revealed an interesting picture of health in our region. Health Insurance and the Affordable Care Act: Results showed that the rate of uninsured adults has dropped precipitously since 2013, due primarily to the Affordable Care Act. Ideally, this would mean that all insured people could now obtain their regular care from a primary care provider, thus providing a continuity of care. Unfortunately, this has yet to happen; survey results show that an increasing number of people are using urgent care facilities as their usual source of care. This frequent use of urgent care facilities for routine
February 23, 2017
medical treatment may be because the most common barrier to accessing healthcare is understanding what is covered by insurance plans. Mental/Behavioral Health: Local concern and attention on mental/ behavioral health has been growing in recent years, and for good reason. Approximately 22% of Coachella Valley adults have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder; depressive disorders are the most common. To put local mental health in perspective, depression is more common than cancer in our region. Similarly, 18% of Coachella Valley children age three and older have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder, with ADD/ADHD as the most commonly diagnosed disorder. Obesity: Mirroring the rest of the country, obesity remains a substantial problem in the Coachella Valley, with 61% of adults falling into
the “overweight” or “obese” BMI category, and along with 49% of children (age two and older). Disability: This year’s survey includes more in-depth data on disabilities than prior surveys, which showed that approximately 22% of Coachella Valley adults are limited in their activities because of physical, mental, and/or emotional problems. About 10% of local adults are blind/low-vision, and about 11% are deaf/hard-of-hearing. …and More: The survey contains a wealth of other information, such
www.desertmobilehomenews.com
as major disease; sexual health; health behaviors such as drinking and smoking; food insecurity; and a wide variety of demographic measures. The data is available online that contains more in-depth information. Data can be accessed for free at harcdata.org/coachellavalley-community-health-survey. HARC is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization based in Palm Desert. HARC provides research and evaluation services in the field of health, wellness, and quality of life.

Kubecca Lights Up the Stage in Palm Springs Rarely, if ever, can you experience such an amalgam of musical expression as is the musical act known as Kubecca. Come be a part of this musical odyssey at the Richards Center for the Arts at Palm Springs High School on Monday, March 6. Two world-class musicians, acclaimed Broadway musical vocalist and a spectacular Vibraphone virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist, now married, are enjoying great success as an onstage duo at venues across the United States, as well as internationally. Kuba Kawnik, originally from Poland, began his musical career at the age of 4. Although he is best known for his performance on vibraphone, he has also mastered some unusual and difficult instruments, including the Theremin, a rare and complex contemporary invention accessible to but a very few virtuosos worldwide. Rebecca Lowe is best known for
8
her roles in the musicals “Evita” and “Jekyll & Hyde.” She was booked right out of college, and was the youngest actress to perform the role of Eva Peron in “Evita,” in fact. Single tickets for the 7:30 p.m. event are $20. For tickets or information please call 760-770-0774 or visit psconcerts.org.

City of Palm Springs Releases Statement Regarding Resolution of FBI/District Attorney’s Investigation “The City of Palm Springs has cooperated fully with both the FBI and the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office during this detailed 17-month investigation as noted in the DA’s press conference Feb. 16. Throughout this process we strived to exceed expectations of openness and transparency, while keeping the public informed

of developments. Based on today’s indictments and the fact that various projects in development are affected, this will involve complex analysis by legal and business experts as to the best way to proceed with each of these properties. Because of the fact that there are more questions than answers in resolving some of these issues we
will not be able to do interviews or provide additional information beyond today’s statement. Our Council is united in our commitment to transparency, cooperation and communication as this process unfolds. We take our responsibility as caretakers of this beautiful and exceptional city very seriously and reiterate that our residents and

PUZZLE PAGE
HOROSCOPE FEBRUARY 23 - MARCH 1 ARIES (March 21-April 19). Not only is it natural to feel defensive around people who have a history of socking you when you’re not expecting it: It’s advisable. Likely this has to do with the soft jabs of a loved one. Arms up; protect your head; duck and cover.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your big dream of the day may not be anything too spectacular; rather, it’s a small personal accomplishment or meaningful exchange that drives you to work deliberately and connect warmly with others today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a point at which too much conversation clouds the meaning of things instead of making it clearer. While some seem committed to talking things to death, you jump in and fix it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Don’t be surprised if, when you sit down to make a positive plan of action, negativity comes first. Work through the grievances. Once you give them airtime, they’ll go away.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It takes a confident person to risk being misunderstood and maybe that’s partly why you’ll do it. Plus, you’ll learn more from people who are dissimilar to you than from people with whom you have a great deal in common.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Funloving people are the best when fun is chief on the agenda. What about when it’s not? If their love of fun is stronger than their love of doing the job at hand, trust your instincts and get the right person for the job.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). When things get a little more colorful and dramatic than is comfortable, be grateful for it. Were you to be limited to a very confined and unvarying society, you would be quickly bored to tears. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Discipline is just not something you easily come up with on your own right now. Enlist the help of a coach, a champion or a supportive friend. Not only will you get results; you’ll feel loved in the process. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Before you get into the mix, remind yourself of your purpose. While you’re at it, revel for a few minutes in what you’re all about. Because if you’re not sure of this, someone will come along and fill in the blanks for you.
February 23, 2017
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re an artist. This doesn’t always present itself in the way some people think about creativity, but there are so many ways to turn life into a beautiful experience. That’s what you’ll chase today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Sameness leads to staleness. Seek variety and diversity. It takes an effort to mix things up, and you’ll probably meet with resistance from those more fearful than you. Do it anyway. Everyone will be better for it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s a day to read and learn. Social topics, in particular, will be lucky to know about. They’ll also be as exciting to read up on as any fiction, because this learning paves the way to new adventures.

Bone Box By Faye Kellerman Available Feb. 28
Dodge City, Kansas, is a place of legend. By the 1870s, Dodge City was known as the most violent and turbulent town in the West. Enter Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson. Young and largely self-trained men, the lawmen led the effort that established frontier justice and the rule of law in the American West, and did it in the wickedest place in the United States. When they moved on, Wyatt to Tombstone and Bat to Colorado, a tamed Dodge was left in the hands of Jim Masterson. But before long Wyatt and Bat, each having had a lawman brother killed, returned to that threatened western Kansas town to team up to restore order again in what became known as the Dodge City War before riding off into the sunset.
Lazarus makes a shocking discovery in the woods of her upstate New York community that leads her husband, detective Peter Decker, through a series of gruesome, decades old, unsolved murders, pointing to a diabolical, serial killer who’s been hiding in plain sight. And when more human remains are found in the same area, Decker and his partner, Tyler McAdams know this isn’t just a one-off murder case. Short-staffed and with no convenient entry into the colleges, Decker enlists Rina’s help to act as the eyes and ears of campus gossip. Winding their way through a dangerous labyrinth of steely suspects and untouchable academics, Decker, McAdams and Rina race to protect their community.

Do You Remember What Happened This Week in History? February 23, 1945 During the bloody Battle for Iwo Jima, U.S. Marines from the 3rd Platoon, E Company, 2nd Battalion, 28th Regiment of the 5th Division take the crest of Mount Suribachi, the island’s highest peak and most strategic position, and raise the U.S. flag. Marine photographer Louis Lowery was with them and recorded the event. American soldiers fighting for control of Suribachi’s slopes cheered the raising of the flag, and several hours later more Marines headed up to the crest with a larger flag. Joe Rosenthal, a photographer with the Associated Press, met them along the way and recorded the raising of the second flag along with a Marine still photographer and a motion-picture cameraman. February 24, 1836 In San Antonio, Texas, Colonel William Travis issues a call for help on behalf of the Texan troops defending the Alamo, an old Spanish mission and fortress under attack by the Mexican army. February 25, 1964 Cassius Clay shocks the odds-makers by dethroning world heavyweight boxing champ Sonny Liston in a seventh-round technical knockout. The dreaded Liston, who had twice demolished former champ Floyd Patterson in one round, was an 8-to-1 favorite. However, Clay predicted victory, boasting that he would “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” and knock

out Liston in the eighth round. The fleet-footed and loquacious youngster needed less time to make good on his claim–Liston, complaining of an injured shoulder, failed to answer the seventh-round bell. February 26, 1919 Two national parks were established in the United States10 years apart–the Grand Canyon in 1919 and the Grand Tetons in 1929. February 27, 1827 A group of masked and costumed students dance through the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, marking the beginning of the city’s famous Mardi Gras celebrations. February 28, 1953 Cambridge University scientists James D. Watson and Frances H.C. Crick announce that they have determined the double-helix structure of DNA, the molecule containing human genes. March 1, 1932 In a crime that captured the attention of the entire nation, Charles Lindbergh III, the 20-month-old son of aviation hero Charles Lindbergh, is kidnapped from the family’s new mansion in Hopewell, New Jersey. Lindbergh and his wife Anne discovered a ransom note demanding $50,000 in their son’s empty room. The kidnapper used a ladder to climb up to the open secondfloor window and left muddy footprints in the room.
