Set your vacation to cruise control Get ready for the time of your life on the high seas
By Alison Elsner For DMHN
C
ruise ships have always enchanted, but they have changed a bit since “Love Boat” days. Many people swear by cruises as the ultimate vacation, for good reason. They are available in all shapes and sizes, with wide ranging options in itinerary, length, ship size, onboard activities, excursions, cruise line and even fees. With so many choices out there, how do you know which is the best? First and foremost, it’s good to figure
out how long you want to travel and to where. Here are some examples of cruises you might want to consider: 3 Nights – Mexican Riviera: Carnival “Imagination” has a passenger load of 2,052, musical acts in most public spaces throughout the trip and a mostly all-inclusive experience for less than $100 per day. Departing from Long beach, and with ports o’call in Catalina and Ensenada, dining options include two main dining rooms with creative entrée, grill and dessert selections as well as the Taste Bar, the
Horizon Bar and Grill with themed buffet stations, Pizza Pirate, Carnival Deli, Guy’s Burger Joint, Blue Iguana Cantina, an espresso bar and room service. No dieting on this cruise. All day and night activities feature theater performances in the Dynasty Main Show, trivia, art auctions, spa seminars, digital scavenger hunts, bingo, events at the shops, arts, crafts and tournaments in the casino and a whopping ten cocktail bars. There’s an over-21 pool called Serenity, as well as water slides and pool games for the kids.
This cruise will run you around $199 per person (seriously). Gratuity is an additional $12.95 per person, per day, and a 15 percent gratuity is automatically added to bar bills. 7 Nights – Southern Caribbean: The Royal Caribbean “Adventure of the Seas” sails from Florida, New Jersey and Puerto Rico and carries 3,114 passengers. Ports include St. Maarten, St. Kitts, Antigua, St. Lucia and Barbados. This is a highly active onboard experience, with rollerblading and iceskating, a rock-climbing wall and the Continues on page 6 >>

Social Security Matters: “Ask Rusty” - Divorced multiple times
Social Security Matters by AMAC Certified Social Security Advisor Russell Gloor, Association of Mature American Citizens Dear Rusty: Reading your current letter regarding Social Security
July 13, 2017
benefits for ex-spouses, I pose this question: Would an individual who has had multiple marriages be entitled to distributions of Social Security for each of his or her marriages? Signed: Thrice Divorced
You can apply for benefits on an ex-spouse’s record even if your exspouse is not yet collecting Social Security, if you have been divorced for at least two years and if they are at least eligible to collect (at least age 62 or receiving SSDI).
Dear Thrice: No, I’m afraid that you are entitled to benefits from only one of your marriages, so obviously you would want to pick the one which gives you the greatest benefit. That would normally be from the ex-spouse who was entitled to the highest benefit based upon his or her own lifetime work record. You would have to be at least 62, have been married to that ex-spouse for at least 10 years and not be currently married to receive benefits on your ex-spouse’s work record. Also, any benefit you are entitled to as an ex-spouse would need to be more than you are entitled to on your own work record; otherwise you will only receive what you are entitled on your own work record.
If you were born before January 2, 1954 and have not yet filed, you can wait until your own full retirement age to apply for spousal benefits only based on your ex-spouse’s record (Restricted Application), allowing your benefit based on your own work record to grow in order to receive a higher benefit later. If you wait until your full retirement age to apply, you’ll be entitled to 1/2 of your ex-spouse’s full benefit (or disability benefit), but if you apply earlier your benefit amount will be reduced. And if your exspouse has died, you would still be entitled to widow(er)’s benefits. Note that you collecting benefits on an ex-spouse’s record does not affect your ex-spouse’s benefit, nor will it affect the benefit of anyone

Add parsley to remaining cheese and spread over ingredients. 5. Bake 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Cut into squares and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
INGREDIENTS | SERVINGS: 8 COOK TIME: 20 MIN | PREP TIME: 25 MIN
• 1 jar (16 ounces) Aunt Nellie’s Baby Whole Pickled Beets, drained • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound) • Salt, to taste, plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided • Pepper, to taste, plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided • 4 1/2 tablespoons stone ground mustard, divided • 1 1/2 tablespoons orange marmalade, plus 1/3 cup, divided • 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives • 1 large lemon, zested and juiced (about 1/3 cup juice) • 1/4 cup olive oil • 1 bag (9 ounces) leafy romaine pieces • 8 wooden skewers • 1/3 cup chopped almonds, toasted • 1/3 cup crumbled firm white cheese (such as blue cheese, feta or goat)
Tip: For a different flavor profile, try grilling pizza rather than baking. Brush raw side of dough with olive oil and grill until bottom of crust is golden brown.
PREPARATION
1. Heat oven to 375 F. Drain beets; set aside.
2. Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. In small bowl, combine 1 1/2 tablespoons each of mustard and marmalade. Brush mixture over chicken until completely coated. Bake chicken on aluminum foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet, 20-25 minutes, or until juices run clear; set aside. 3. To make vinaigrette: In medium bowl, combine remaining mustard, remaining marmalade, chives, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Slowly pour in oil while whisking vigorously until completely combined. 4. Slice cooled chicken into 1-inch pieces. On each skewer, thread a beet, a piece of chicken and 4- 5 pieces of lettuce; repeat twice; add one beet at end. Repeat to make eight skewers. Place skewers on large serving platter. Stir vinaigrette; drizzle lightly over skewers. Sprinkle with almonds and cheese. Serve with remaining vinaigrette. Substitution: Whole pickled beets may be substituted. Cut beets in half. Alternate preparation: To grill chicken, brush both sides with mustard-marmalade mixture. Grill over medium heat 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through and thermometer reads 165 F. If chicken cooks too quickly, reduce heat to medium-low.

bustling Royal Promenade, a boulevard of retail stores, bars and cafes. There is also the Lyric Theater and a Venice-motif solarium pool, Casino Royal, Champagne Bar, a pub and a nightclub. As for the dining…ahhh the dining… three main dining rooms offer Royal Caribbean’s flexible dinner reservations. Also available are the Windjammer Buffet, Jade Sushi, Johnny Rocket’s, Italian-themed Portofino and 24-hour room service.

Dress is casual, and most passengers are from 35 to 65 years old, with some families. This cruise is $716 per person, before optional excursions and special dining fees and cocktails. Gratuity is $13.50 per person, per day ($16.50 for suite guests), and an 18 percent gratuity is automatically added to bar tabs. 14 Nights – Mediterranean: The Italian Costa “neoRiviera” embraces an adult concept that calls for overnights and longer port stays, an
opportunity for more shore excursions, a quieter ship and a casual atmosphere. The 1,248 passengers usually comprise an international clientele, a huge part of the adventure. A sample itinerary might include Rome, Genoa, Marseille, Barcelona, Seville, Malaga, Casablanca, Lisbon, Cadiz and Valencia. Most of the dining on Costa Riviera is included in the fare. Reservations aren’t needed in the dining room. There is also a buffet, Pizzeria Monterossa, Grill Manarola and 24-hour room service. Trivia, crafts classes, bingo games and dance lessons are held daily, and four venues offer nightly live music and a disco. This cruise is around $1,500 per traveler, again before excursions, bar and entertainment tabs and special dining. A service charge of 8 euros ($9.15) per person, per day, is automatically added to the bill, and service charges of 15 percent are added to bar and spa bills.

Things to be aware of: Cabins are generally small, and balconies cost more. Interior cabins are more economical but can also cause seasickness. A cruise ship is like a small city, so just like at home or on a traditional vacation, be aware of surroundings and behave responsibly. Serious crime is still rare, despite occasional negative stories, but it’s wise to check the cruise line’s crime stat reports before embarking, most of which are made public. More and more cruise lines are outsourcing background checks for ship employees who come from a wide range of countries. Sometimes great deals can be found far in advance or very close to the date of sailing. But be extra careful about hidden fees in deals that sound too low. Anchors aweigh!

Five incredible facts about zebras
Pet of the Week “Pet Rescue”
1. Each individual zebra’s stripes are totally unique, just like fingerprints in humans. 2. Zebras are fast! They’re able to reach speeds of 60 km/h when they gallop. 3. Zebras fall into three main families, namely plains zebras, mountain zebras and Grévy’s zebras. The latter type is the largest of the three. It owes its name to Jules Grévy, a French president who received the first known specimen as a gift from the King of Ethiopia in 1882. 4. Baby zebras start walking within 20 minutes of being born and are able to run by the time they’re a mere hour old. 5. Though their true purpose is unknown, scientists believe that zebras’ stripes are used to regulate body temperature, confuse predators and repel stinging insects.

Robin: Chihuahua, Young, Male Hi, I’m Robin and I’m a male Chihuahua who’s about 9 months old so I’m still considered a pup. That’s good because I’m still young enough to be trained to be the best boy for you! And I would love that! I’m an adorable little fellow with a cute face, pointed ears, and a rust-colored coat. I weigh about 7/8 pounds so I’m easy to pick up and hug–I like being hugged and held! Since I don’t weigh that much, I can be taken different places with you also. I was found on 48th and Jackson. If you know anything about that area,
www.desertmobilehomenews.com
you’d know that it is a very busy street. I’m glad a very kind person rescued me from all that traffic and activity. Who knows what could have happened to me since I’m so young and don’t really know the ways of the world yet. I’m happy at Pet Rescue where I’ve made new friends and I have a great time playing with them. I have my own ‘condo’ with my own bed and I just love it! What I’d love even more is going home with you! I’m a good boy; and, as I said before, I’m young enough to be trained to be your best boy. Please come and visit me to see if dreams do come true! I’m all ready to go home with you–I’m neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date with vaccinations. Looking forward to meeting you! -Xoxo Your Rockin’ Robin

HOROSCOPE: JULY 13-19 ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll take a close look at your finances before going on vacation and the high cost of living could stress you out. On the emotional side of things, remember that love comes knocking when you least expect it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22). Your mind may not be completely at ease when you leave for vacation. A few office-related issues will have you dealing with work during your time off. Romance-wise, a new acquaintance will keep you guessing.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will be very social, and you’ll also want to take a breather professionally. Expect to find yourself drawing out your lunch hours to socialize with colleagues, employees and partners.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). You will wrap up all work-related matters before the holidays. Don’t wing it. Make your reservations this week; during peak season, all the best places get booked quickly.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will use your vacation time to tackle a few projects, both professional and domestic. But don’t forget to get some rest. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Having fun is this week’s watchword, and opportunities to do so won’t be in short supply. You will start building your summer reading list, but choosing the right books won’t be easy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will have the urge to make some changes and the timing will feel right. Vacation time is here and will provide you the opportunity to start drafting a business plan or looking for a better job. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will attend seminars and take part in important negotiations. In your private life you’re feeling increasingly tired of doing all the work, which could mean drastic action is needed to change old habits.
8
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).It’s the perfect time to carry out those projects you’ve been planning around the house. You will also tackle your flower beds and landscaping. Expect to spend your time off close to home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will be moving around a lot and be a tad distracted. Don’t forget your shopping list, or you’ll find yourself making a lot of return trips to the store. You’re never at a loss for words, but some people will always find a way to disagree with you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve recalculated your vacation budget several times to ensure you won’t come up short. In case you missed something, though, consider leaving yourself a cushion — even if it means dropping a couple of activities.

Desert Film Society presents Harold and Lillian: A Hollywood Love Story
To help others this day Heavenly Lord, I pray that this day, you will continue to bless me, that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can’t find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don’t know you intimately. I pray that others will find your strength, so that they can love and help one another. I pray for those who don’t believe, that they may find you. And when this world closes in on me, let me remember the example of my Lord and Savior: to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. Remind me, nudge me, let me remember to find you when I’m feel like I’m pushed beyond my limits. In Christ’s name, I come to you,
Amen.

Cook became a pioneer of the date industry, establishing the first sizable Deglet Noor date garden. Cook Ranch rapidly became a regional showpiece encouraging other date ranchers to settle in the area. By 1922, Indian Wells had its own post office, school, general store and several successful date ranches. Photo courtesy of the Coachella Valley History Museum

L
ong an activist for Latino civil rights, Lalo Guerrero worked with labor leader Cesar Chavez and was a board member of Big Sisters Big Brothers of the Desert. In the early ‘90s, the McCallum Theatre was host to two sellout fundraising shows in his honor, “Lalo y Amigos” and “Lalo y Comicos.” He had a huge following in the Chicano world and hundreds of musicians and fans turned out to sing his original songs and raise scholarship money for College of the Desert. Born in Tucson, Ariz., Guerrero developed his musical talent early and moved to Los Angeles by way of Mexico. He found success in the recording studio and in nightclubs, and after a long run at East L.A.’s “La Bamba Club,” opened his own nitery.

He wrote hundreds of songs about the Mexican-American experience, including some for the Broadway stage musical “Zoot Suit.” The most honored Hispanic musician of his time, Lalo Guerrero is fondly known as “the father of Chicano music.” Guerrero was named a national folk treasure by the Smithsonian Institute and was invited to perform at the White House for Jimmy Carter and for George Bush. In 1997, President Bill Clinton presented him with the National Medal of the Arts, the first Chicano ever to receive it. Avenida Lalo Guerrero begins at Cathedral Canyon Drive in Cathedral City and runs between the Desert Imax and Mary Pickford Theatres.
