Snag Passes and Vouchers Now for 2017 Palm Springs ShortFest
By Alison Elsner
O
ne of the most appealing things about the Coachella Valley is the abundance of high quality cultural offerings that are accessible and affordable, yet unpretentious. A brightly shining star in this local cosmopolitan and casual universe is the Palm Springs International ShortFest, now in its 23rd year and the largest short film event in North America. Presented by the Palm Springs International Film Society, with major sponsorship from the City of Palm Springs, the Short Fest is the little sister to the annual celebrity and talent studded Palm Springs International Film Festival (PSIFF) held each January. The PSIFF now captures attention around
the world as one of the primary predictors of Oscar nods, not to mention just the place to be for the Hollywood “in” crowd as well as avid movie-goers, Coachella Valley residents and visitors. This year’s ShortFest is set to take place June 20 – 26 in Palm Springs, with screenings at the Camelot Theatres. Your ticket or pass will allow you entry to a Short Fest screening (approximately 90 minutes) where you will view between four and ten short films that have been curated into a themed program (comedy, siblings, travel, immigration, war, etc….) Screenings are followed by Q and A sessions with filmmakers. A highly competitive festival, ShortFest receives submissions from over 100 countries around the globe, with
around 325 shorts selected for screening. More than 100 shorts have gone on to receive Oscar nominations and/ or awards. A unique feature is the ShortFest Forum, a series of panels, master classes and roundtable discussions designed to provide emerging filmmakers with both the knowledge and the networking opportunities to further their careers in the film industry. (Note: you don’t have to be a filmmaker to appreciate the Forum; it’s a fascinating peek behind the scenes at how these geniuses craft their art.) Last year’s winners included these gems, which give you a good idea of the range of film topics you will encounter and enjoy: The Chop (UK), by Lewis Rose, a
“kosher comedy” about a skilled and charming Jewish butcher who must expand his horizons after he loses his job. Filip (Sweden), by Nathalie Álvarez Mesén, a story about a young boy and his older brother on journeys of selfdiscovery and revelation – a sensitive family portrait. Home (Kosovo), by Daniel Mulloy, about a young, happy family going on holiday whose journey takes an expected turn when they must escape danger. Other inviting titles included: How to Lose Weight in Four Easy Steps, The Things We Do For Love and Film Noir. This year’s films and program schedule will be announced online June 9.

Rusty answers a question regarding working and Social Security By AMAC Certified Social Security Advisor Russell Gloor Association of Mature American Citizen Dear Rusty: I recently turned 62, and have not yet filed for Social Security benefits. At this point, my benefits based on my own record would be about $1,000 per month, but since I still work I know I would lose some of what I earn over the $15,000 limit. I read that if you lose some of your benefit because of working you will get it back later. Is this true? If so, how would I get it back? Signed: Working Girl Dear Working: Your question is becoming much more common as more people are choosing to work even after they are entitled to receive Social Security benefits. Social Security’s rules say that if you work and are receiving benefits but have not yet reached your full retirement age (which for you is 66) and you earn more than their annual earnings limit, they will “take back” half of everything you earn over the earnings limit (which for 2017 is $16,920). The way they do this is by withholding what you owe from future benefit payments, which could cause you to not receive benefits for a number of months until they recover what you owe. This would happen every year up until you turn 66, which would mean that during that working timeframe you would have gone some number of months without receiving benefits. When you turn 66, the amount you can earn is much more generous and the amount they withhold is much less. After you turn 66 you can earn as much as you like without penalty. The way you “get back” what they withheld is this: When you reach your full retirement age, Social Security will
4
recalculate your benefit amount taking into account the number of months you did not receive benefits in those working years between age 62 and 66. They will then advance your original start-of-benefits date by the number of months you didn’t receive benefits, effectively moving your start date forward and increasing your benefit amount accordingly. So while they do take away some benefits while you are working, the increase you receive at your full retirement age will last for the rest of your life.

Three golden rules for getting birds to flock to your garden bor’s mischievous cat. Note that a diverse mix of ferns, trees, and shrubs will attract a larger variety of birds. 2. Provide food for all tastes. Choose indigenous plants that produce both seeds and fruit. Considering that some birds prefer eating on the ground while others feed in trees, a staggered landscape is your best bet to satisfy every species. Once summer ends, let the flowers in your garden go to seed to allow birds the opportunity to feast even once the cold sets in. If you wish to attract migrating birds and their hatchlings to your garden while they’re home for the summer and still stay loyal to the species that frequent your garden year-round, read on for some key tips. 1. Offer shelter from wind, bad weather, and predators. Birds need a place where they’ll feel safe to nest with their family throughout the night. Ferns, large shrubs, and hedges offer excellent protection against strong winds, cold rain and the neigh-

3. Ensure access to water yearround. No matter the season, our feathered friends need access to a source of clean water at all times.

Indio Water authority lifts drought penalties
Indio Water Authority (IWA) has lifted the Stage II water restrictions and the drought surcharge imposed to promote conservation following an end to the Drought State of Emergency and City Council/IWA Board’s action to that effect on April 19. On April 7, Governor Jerry Brown declared that the five-year drought across most of California was over following a winter of abundant rain and snow. While mandatory state conservation regulations were lifted, prohibitions on water waste remain in effect. Following the governor’s announcement and Board action, IWA has eliminated drought penalties for customers who exceed their water budgets. Individual water budgets are located on monthly billing statements and allow for efficient indoor and outdoor use. Those who exceed their budget will no longer pay extra penalty but only the higher rates for
top-tier consumption. May 2017 water bills will reflect the change. “The drought emergency is over, but IWA customers must continue to use water as efficiently as possible,” said IWA General Manager Brian Macy. “The last five, dry years have taught us that we must protect our resources and be smart about water use.” Wasteful water practices that are permanently banned include watering lawns within 48 hours of a rain, hosing off sidewalks and driveways, washing automobiles with hoses not equipped with a shut-off nozzle, irrigating ornamental turf on public street medians, and overwatering landscaping to the point where water runs into the streets. For more information about IWA’s water conservation program and rebates, please call 760-391-4038 or email at iwaconserve@indio.org.

heard with the ears so much as the heart. You’ll extend yours today as you listen past what a loved one is saying and into the meaning and feeling of it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re grateful for your mistakes. They make you a more compassionate person, for starters. Also, because you got something wrong in the past, you’re able to get it very right this time around.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The reason you wrap a gift instead of just handing it over naked is that thoughtful presentation and slow reveals add excitement and specialness to our interactions. Don’t skip the ritual. Add to it instead.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are a few roles up for grabs in today’s scenario. Decide who you want to be first. Then act. Once you cast yourself it will be hard to change roles (i.e., if you’re acting like someone’s parent it will be hard to switch to friend mode).
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There will be many different factors acting on your decision-making process today. You’ll be motivated by a sense duty, driven by your own aesthetic desires and intrigued by the chance for political gain.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You treat your love (or potential love) as an equal. This is the key to your success in relationships. “Equal” isn’t “same.” You respect differences and value them appropriately.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be tempted to let lethargy win, sleep late or take a nap. The thing is, you’ll only awaken feeling less vital. Get moving instead. A sweat-inducing activity will kick-start your energy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your connection to an older person will be a highlight of the day. You’ll be creatively inspired by the traditions, manners and ways of doing things that have changed over the years. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Once you put your mind to it, you’ll be brimming with ideas for creating fun times with your loved ones. This is a worthy mental exercise if ever there was one, especially if you follow through on a few and bring a camera. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A soul’s cry isn’t

And if the energy of your things (namely, having too many of them) is cluttering your mind, a purge will free you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Above all, you desire to offer the others something of value. It’s why you’re careful not to fall into the attention-seeking traps of our narcissistic age. Modesty and service are your callings of the day.
