Palm Springs International Airport Passing the travel test with flying colors
By Alison Elsner For DMHN
When travelers arrive in Palm Springs, they are greeted by gently swaying palms, multi-faceted mountain vistas, trendy shops and restaurants (including a wine bar), play areas for children and pets and an overall warmth that brings imminent relaxation. And that’s just the experience that greets guests within the confines of the airport.
The Palm Springs International Airport is a tourist-friendly, brickand-mortar ambassador of sorts to the entire Coachella Valley -- a perfect complement to the golf courses and resorts that lie beyond the tarmac gates. It’s one of the most favorable and reflective representations of the area, especially for newcomers. It has even earned the title as one of “America’s Most Stress-Free Airports” by smartertravel.com.
The main building invites outbound travelers to check in and pass through security screening before venturing forward to enjoy an open-air courtyard, aforementioned shops and restaurants and seventeen full service gates at two concourses, one of which is named the Sonny Bono concourse. All of the passenger walkways on the concourses are roofless. The airport started as a single dirt runway in the 1920’s, which
gave way to a paved airstrip in the 1930’s. It continued to be used for military and passenger flights in the decades that followed. Palm Springs architect Donald Wexler, known for his midcentury modern architecture and use of steel in building construction, designed a distinctive new terminal, which opened in 1966. By 1967, there were 24 daily flights and a six-story-tall control tower. The runways were lengthened Continues on page 6 >>

View eclipse outside the Palm Springs Public Library
The Palm Springs Public Library has joined more than 1,000 libraries across the country to participate in the celestial event of the century, the August 21, 2017 Solar Eclipse. During this national event, the shadow of the moon will cover up the Sun and sweep across the United States in a narrow band from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean in a spectacle that hasn’t occurred in decades. In fact, the last total solar eclipse for the United States was nearly 40 years ago. Since this eclipse will mainly be visible
in the U.S. it has aptly been named the Great American Eclipse. On Monday, August 21, from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. the Library will host a viewing party outside the Library, seeing a partial eclipse (approximately 65% - 75%). Bring your lawn chairs and telescopes, Mix 100.5 radio will be broadcasting LIVE from our event and the Farmers Market, PS Sustainability and Desert Water Agency will all have community booths at the event with giveaways, information on their programs and more. Plus the Library
will be giving out the remaining solar eclipse viewing glasses while supplies last. “We are proud that Palm Springs Public Library will participate in this national program,” said Jeannie Kays, Library Director. “We have partnered with community organizations to make this an amazing and fun astronomy event. We think people of all ages will find the solar eclipse to be an experience they will remember the rest of their lives.” The Library is located at 300 S. Sunrise Way, on the corner of Sunrise Way and Baristo Road, a destination for residents and visitors alike.
For more information, call 760-322-READ (7323) or log on to www.palmspringslibrary.org. The library received the eclipse viewing glasses as a grant from the STAR Library Education Network (STAR_Net) and its NASA@ My Library initiative, which are providing resources and STEM activities to libraries across the nation related to the eclipse. Partners include NASA, the American Library Association, and many other organizations. This project was made possible through support from the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Google, and the National Science Foundation.

Social Security Matters: “Ask Rusty” - High earners and the family maximum 2) Let’s assume that the earnings of both were greater than the annual contribution limit for their entire careers, and that they are both eligible for the maximum monthly benefit ($2,687 for 2017) at their full retirement age. Their combined SS benefit based upon their own work records at their full retirement age (assumed as 66) would be $5,374.
Dear Rusty: My question is this: If both spouses are high earners with significant Social Security contributions in their own right, delaying their benefits to get a bigger Social Security amount could mean they will exceed the maximum “family” payment. Isn’t it to their advantage for both spouses to take Social Security at 62 at the “reduced amount” if together they would still exceed the “family maximum”? Otherwise, aren’t they leaving money on the table and getting no increase in payment by delaying collecting? Signed: Inquiring Mind
August 17, 2017
Dear Inquiring: What an excellent question! Let’s lay out the pieces: 1) Regardless of how much these hypothetical “high earners” actually earned, they would have only paid payroll taxes up to the annual contribution limit for each year they worked. That limit - $127,200 for 2017 - increases periodically if a formula used by the Social Security Administration calls for it. Once they reached the earnings contribution limit each year they would have no longer paid into Social Security for that year.
3) The Family Maximum applies to survivors, spouses, and children, etc. families who receive benefits based upon a primary wage earner’s work record. Couples who collect only retirement benefits are not affected unless three or more family members receive benefits. So, in this hypothetical example of two high wage earners, the Family Maximum benefit does not apply. So the answer to your question is: For these two high-earners, applying early for both of their benefits at age 62 will cause them both to receive benefits at a permanently reduced rate of about 75% ($1,934) of their full amount. If they delay they can both receive their full benefit amount ($2,687) at their

full retirement age, and if they choose to defer beyond their full retirement age their benefits will continue to grow at about 8% per year until they are age 70, when their monthly benefit amount would be about $3,546 each, or $7092 combined.

Palm Springs International Airport Passing the travel test with flying colors
<< Continues from page 1
again in 1998, and, that same year, the first non-stop international flight arrived on Alaska Airlines from Vancouver, B.C. The following year, a U.S. Customs official was stationed at the airport to service the high number of international corporate and private jets departing and landing, and the airport officially became the Palm Springs International Airport. In 2013, an upgraded, 150-foot tower was completed for use. In 2007, Tom Nolan became the Executive Director of the Palm Springs International Airport, and under his leadership and that of the Airport Commission, the airport has continued its development and position as a structure of not only beauty but also functionality. We were able to sit down with Tom for some quick Q and A: DMHN: Can you tell us about all of the improvements at the airport? TN: In the last ten years, there have been about $100 million in capital im-
provements including a new air traffic control tower, many new airfield pavement projects, a new eight-gate passenger concourse, new food, beverage and gift concessions, a remodeled outdoor courtyard, upgrades to the main terminal, new airfield lighting and many other projects that help improve the safety, efficiency and comfort of PSP Airport. More projects are in the planning stages. DMHN: What differentiates PSP from other airports, especially those of similar aircraft and passenger volume? TN: PSP Airport has the same security and safety protocols expected at any other airport, but we are able to operate these in a more relaxed and less intrusive way. We make the environment pleasant and user friendly, and we top it off with a lot of employees who are professional and happy. We are constantly looking at ways to maintain that great passenger experience even as we grow with an historic
traffic record of two million passengers in 2016. DMHN: What are some of the biggest challenges you face at PSP? TN: Despite PSP hitting new records of passenger traffic, the reality is that the airline industry is constantly changing. Airports all over the country are competing to attract airline service which can only accommodate so many aircraft in their fleets. The extreme seasonality of the Coachella Valley still does pose a challenge to airlines because they have to adjust their schedules yearly to address the decrease in passenger demand. That is why I remind residents to fly PSP as often as possible, especially during the summer months to balance the demand. DMHN: What are some plans for the future of PSP?
This will create more room for passenger check-in, improvements to the interior and installation of new, automated baggage handling systems behind the walls, not visible to customers. This will improve the capacity of the TSA baggage screening processes. We will also be expanding the car rental lot for more vehicle storage and a modern new car rental check-in hall to free up space in the baggage claim area within about the next three years. For more information about the Palm Springs International Airport, please visit http://www.palmspringsca.gov/government/departments/aviation-palmsprings-international-airport-psp or call 760-318-3800.
TN: We have a planned remodel and upgrade to the main ticketing area.

In fact, NASA has published a notice, seeking candidates for the position of Planetary Protection Officer. And, among the first to apply was 9-yearold Jack Davis who calls himself the Guardian of the Galaxy. But, the job is not what Jack thinks it is. NASA is looking for someone to promote the responsible exploration of the solar system.

Energy can be classified into two broad categories: non-renewable, stemming mostly from fossil fuels, and renewable, stemming from natural resources in constant supply. Renewable energy does not contribute to the greenhouse effect, creates more jobs and can cost less to use in some areas, making it the more popular option of the two. Renewable energy comes in five basic forms: hydro, solar, wind, biofuel and geothermal. • Hydro is the most common form and creates enough power worldwide to serve 28.3 million people. • In the United States, 10% of the electricity created comes from hydro power.
National Senior Citizens Day will be celebrated on August 21 as proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1988, the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC] reminds us. In his proclamation, President Reagan declared: “For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and

a heartfelt salute. We can best demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making sure that our communities are good places in which to mature and grow older - places in which older people can participate to the fullest and can find the encouragement, acceptance, assistance, and services they need to continue to lead lives of independence and dignity.”
• Over 10,000 Americans power their homes solely by the sun. • If all of the sunlight that falls on the earth in one hour could be harnessed, it would take care of the earth’s energy needs for a whole year. • American wind farms currently produce enough electricity to serve 600,000 families. • One wind turbine can create enough electricity for up to 300 homes. • In some areas, energy is being made from garbage found in landfills. • Many schools rely upon geothermal energy to heat and cool their facilities.

1922: Rudolph Valentino jailed for bigamy Hollywood discovered Palm Springs as early as 1915. The desert was considered a choice filming spot for many silents, and stars such as Rudolph Valentino, Ernest Torrence, and Theda Bara could be easily spotted in town. While vacationing in Palm Springs, Rudolph and Natacha Rambova, whom he met during the filming of “Camille,” cross the border and marry in Mexicali, Mexico, on May 13, 1922. The problem was that he was still married to Jean Acker. Although a divorce was granted on March 4, 1922, under California law, the divorce is set to become final one year later. On May 21, 1922, Rudy is jailed on charges of bigamy and fined $10,000. Eventually, he and Natacha divorce and, tragically, Valentino is dead by the age of 31.

Stars and Streets of the Desert Dinah Shore Star: 1916-1994 Street: Dinah Shore Drive
Maze Answer
WordSearch Answer
An early desert enthusiast, Dinah Shore was a long time resident of Mission Hills Country Club and an avid golfer. She founded the ColgateDinah Shore Golf Tournament in 1972, now known as the Kraft Nabisco Championship, but many professional golfers still fondly refer to it simply as “The Dinah.” The tournament, played at Mission Hills in March of each year, is a major stop on the LPGA tour and draws thousands of women to the Palm Springs area. Dinah graduated from Vanderbilt University in her hometown of Nashville with a degree in sociology, but her heart was set on a singing career. In New York, Eddie Cantor hired her to sing on his show and after a few years, she starred in a show of her own. During the war, Dinah entertained with the USO and there she met and married actor George Montgomery, a marriage that lasted 20 years and produced two children.

By the ‘50s, Shore was a major recording star with an array of hits, including “Buttons and Bows,” and “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” Although she made several motion pictures, it was television that brought her fame and fortune. “The Dinah Shore Chevy Show” began in 1960, later renamed “The Dinah Shore Show” and was a ratings winner. When it ended, she took time off and resurfaced with a daytime CBS talk show, “Dinah’s Place,” followed by a second talk show, “Dinah!” When that one ended, she brought her show to TNN with an impressive guest list of Bob Hope, Nancy Reagan and President and Betty Ford. During her lengthy career, Shore won nine Emmys, a Peabody and a Golden Globe. The busy thoroughfare, Dinah Shore Drive, spans thru Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Cathedral City and Palm Springs.
