“Gladys Knight is one of greatest singers in the world, period,” said Mark Anton, CEO/Executive Director of AAP – Food Samaritans. “Evening Under the Stars is not only a great fundraiser, it’s also a great show. This year, as we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of this iconic Palm Springs event, we’ll pull out all the stops to make it extra special.” Evening Under the Stars is the largest annual fundraiser for AAP – Food Samaritans, a nonprofit organization that provides nutritional support for low-income people living with HIV/ AIDSand other chronic illnesses. The organization was initiated in 1991 by a small group of concerned citizens led by the late Gloria Greene (who began feeding desperate souls from out of the back door of her restaurant) and Jeannette Rockefeller, and remains a grass roots community-based organization. It is led by a small staff and a volunteer board of directors who work to assure that the largest percentage of every donated
dollar goes directly to client services. AAP raises 100% of its operational budget through private donations, community and local business support, special events such as Evening Under the Stars, and foundation grants. It receives no Federal or State funding. Evening Under the Stars gala festivities will begin with an extended sunset cocktail hour on the grounds of the O’Donnell Golf Club against a backdrop of the majestic San Jacinto Mountains, widely regarded as one of the most festive cocktail receptions of the season. A short awards program will recognize a few inspirational honorees (to be announced soon), followed by a delicious dinner, and the performance by Gladys Knight. Tickets for the benefit, at $395 and $500 per person, are available for purchase now. Individual VIP seats and sponsorships are also available.

Accurate “Fake News” By Bob Franken
Trump supporters, you’re right, and no, that’s not a play on words, as in, “You’re far to the right if you support Donald Trump, whether you admit it or not.” At best, you’ve accepted his message of hatefulness, so that makes you a hater, at least implicitly. Still that’s not what this is about. By “right” in this case, I mean you’re correct in your gripes about media objectivity. You and your leader can validly complain that we in the newsbiz are not mere stenographers who regurgitate the pros and cons of the bile he spews. Oftentimes, there are no pros to his cons. When Trump goes on Twitter to viciously stomp on somebody or other -- like the American citizens desperately trying to survive in Puerto Rico, who have the audacity to speak Spanish -- or when he takes actions that sabotage health care delivery in the U.S. of A. simply to satisfy his passion to destroy anything with the “Obama” label, it is not our job to act like robots and merely recite whatever he’s done or said without putting it in a values context. We have a professional responsibility when Trump threatens to pull federal assistance out of storm-ravaged Puerto Rico to continue covering the persistent misery that Hurricane Maria has left in her wake. That would be considered the backdrop for the president’s tweeting, but for the residents of the U.S. territory who are now trying to survive a hand-to-mouth existence without electric power or communications,
to say nothing of food and water, it’s not a backdrop at all. It is very much in their foreground. And when POTUS abuses his power by cutting off insurance-company subsidies for lower-income Americans who simply want access to health care, we are honor-bound to report that the action has the potential to drive premiums sky-high, pricing both poor and lower-middleclass individuals and families out of medical protection. Ditto for his executive order that makes it easier for insurance hustlers to offer plans that offer borderline fraudulent coverage to those who are the suckers who would buy such policies. These plans are to health care coverage what Trump University was to education. Not that we reporters make much of a difference. Those who believed Trump was their guy will not be persuaded otherwise. Those of us who accurately cover the substance and framework of any Trump developments, no matter how grotesque, are dismissed immediately by the president as purveyors of “fake news,” and vilified or even threatened by some of his supporters. The president is never-endingly on his spiteful rampage, which includes belittling anybody he sees as an enemy. That’s literally in the case of retiring Republican Sen. Bob Corker, who is 5 foot 7 and who has had the temerity to suggest that the White House had become a chaotic “adult day care center.” So, the president of the United States dismisses Corker as “Liddle Bob Corker,” ridiculing his stature but not understanding that Corker has tremendous stature and power in the Senate. Yes, committed Trump supporters, we newspeople are adversarial. For real. We should be. And we’re used to being hated, so you’ll just have to stand in line. © 2017 Bob Franken Distributed by King Features Synd.

Hurricane Pets Need Homes If you’ve considered getting a pet, this might be the perfect time to adopt one. A side effect of all the hurricanes we’ve had is the number of animal shelters that are completely filled. Either the owners can’t be found or the families have no homes to go back to and are living in shelters that won’t allow pets. In hurricane-hit areas, adoptions have plunged because people have so much to do just to take care of their families. Across the country, other shelters have taken up the cause and have run caravans (even planes) to bring rescued animals to areas that weren’t hit by hurricanes. Many shelters have lowered adoption fees so more animals can find homes. When adopted, all the animals will have been through quarantine and given shots and exams. What do you get out of it if you adopt a pet? The short list is more social interaction, less stress, lower blood pressure, increased physical exercise and structure to your days. Add to that the gratitude of an animal that’s been through crisis and is now in a loving, forever home. If it’s not possible for you to adopt a pet, consider being part of the welcoming committee when the animals arrive. They’ll be anxious from the long ride, eager to move around. They’ll need lots of TLC to calm down, and baths and soothing words. The shelter might need extra toys, leashes, food and blankets. Perhaps you can volunteer to be a collection point for those items. Or you could foster an animal on a shortterm basis. Who knows ... it’s possible that in opening your home and heart to a homeless cat or dog that you’ll decide to make the arrangement permanent.

Now Here’s a Tip By JoAnn Derson • If your razor has seen better days, try running it over a pair of jeans. The material can sharpen and realign the blades to get a little more life out of your razor. • Use a small, lidded plastic container to store the following items in your vehicle through the cold winter months: flashlight, portable USB battery pack (charged, with charging cable for your device), blanket(s), road flares, first aid kit, ice scraper, sand or other traction-creating material, bottles of water and some snacks, a weatherproof poncho/jacket and a pair of walking shoes with socks. • The National Sleep Foundation says that exercise can contribute to better sleep. Work out at least 4-5 hours before you expect to hit the hay, though, because exercise can keep the heart rate elevated and give you energy for hours after you are done. Afternoon workouts are the best, but morning sessions are great, too.

Social Security Matters
“Ask Rusty” - Railroad Retirement Benefits vs Social Security Dear Rusty: My neighbor was a long time employee of the railroad and has told me that he doesn’t receive Social Security like I do, but rather gets Railroad Retirement Benefits which are, according to him, better than Social Security. This irks me a little bit because I’ve worked my whole life paying those FICA taxes, so why should my neighbor have a better retirement benefit than me? And just what exactly is this Railroad thing he’s covered by? Signed: Annoyed

the Federal Railroad Retirement program. Initially meant as an old age retirement and disability program for rail workers, it evolved over the years to become more of a social insurance program providing survivor, spousal, dependent, sickness and unemployment benefits, similar in many ways to how Social Security evolved during the same time period. A financial interchange between Social Security and Railroad benefits was set up in 1951, eventually evolving to the Railroad Retirement Act of 1974. The program has continued to undergo refinements as needed, and is administered by an independent Federal agency called the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB). While independent, the RRB is closely aligned with Social Security, but the benefits of each program differ. Railroad employees pay taxes into the system for two separate benefit categories known as Tier I and Tier II. Tier I contributions are similar to Social Security (6.20%), but Tier II contributions - essentially for a supplemental pension - are an additional 3.9%. In both cases, there is a maximum taxable wage cap. And similar to Social Security, another 1.45% is levied for Medicare. As with Social Security, rail industry employers pay an equal amount of payroll tax for Tier I, but they also pay a substantially higher tax percentage than employees for Tier II benefits. Without getting into the myriad of details, suffice to say that just like Social Security, RRA has eligibility
criteria for beneficiaries. Although Tier I railroad benefits are intended to somewhat mimic Social Security, there are a lot of nuances in the railroad retirement program, which can make benefits higher. The differences are far too numerous to describe here but as an example, early retirement benefits aren’t reduced if the worker has at least 30 years of railroad service. Tier II benefits are designed to resemble a private defined benefit pension plan. So how different are the benefits? Well, for 2016 the average Social Security retirement benefit was about $1,350 per month, while the average retirement benefit for railroad employees was about $2,675 per month. While the difference is substantial, remember that a defined benefit pension is part of rail employees’ retirement benefits. Further, career rail employees - those who have contributed through payroll taxes for a long period of time - receive considerably more than the average. So if your neighbor was a long time railroad employee, don’t begrudge him his somewhat higher benefit. He earned it, just as you have earned Social Security plus any additional pension benefit you might enjoy from working in the private sector. Now, invite your neighbor over for coffee and discuss something non-controversial, like politics. The Foundation welcomes questions from readers regarding Social Security issues.

The Living Desert, 47900 Portola Ave., Palm Desert, 760-712-3848, livingdesert.org.
By Alison Elsner Just because you’re not a kid any more doesn’t mean you can’t get giddy about Halloween. Some people even consider the “holiday” one of their favorites, with a chance to decorate in vivid color, sample sweet and scary treats and select a costume (so we’ve heard). Halloween makes us think of ghosts and goblins, trick-or-treating, apple bobbing, candy corn, costume parties and pumpkin carving. Also known as All Hallows’ Eve, the observance can be traced back about 2,000 years to a pre-Christian Celtic festival held in early November at the end of the harvest year, called Samhain (pronounced “sah-win”), which means “summer’s end” in Gaelic, according to the Indo-European Etymological Dictionaries. Associated with the holiday was a belief that it was a day when spirits of the dead would cross over into the other world, linking it to the supernatural. Experts say that Halloween provides a safe way to play with the concept of death. People dress up as the living dead, and fake gravestones adorn front lawns — activities that wouldn’t be accepted at other times of the year. Though a direct connection between Halloween
and Samhain has never been proven, many scholars believe that because All Saints’ Day (or All Hallows’ Mass, celebrated on November 1) and Samhain, are so close together on the calendar that they influenced each other and later combined into what is now called Halloween. Some have expressed concern that Halloween is somehow satanic because of its roots in pagan ritual. However, ancient Celts did not worship anything resembling the Christian devil and had no concept of it. The Samhain festival had long since vanished by the time the Catholic Church began hunting witches in its search for satanic cabals. The tradition of dressing in costumes and trick-or-treating may go back to the practice of “mumming” and “guising,” in which people would disguise themselves and go doorto-door, asking for food. Trick-ortreating really took hold in the United States around World War II. Today, of course, the selection of disguises for kids and adults has greatly expanded beyond monsters, witches and ghosts to include everything from superheroes to princesses to politicians. The Coachella Valley offers some fun Halloween events for adults to en-
joy with or without kids. Some of our favorites this year include: CarnEVIL Haunted House at The River at Rancho Mirage Oct. 13 – Oct. 31, Weds. – Sun. 7 to 11:00pm (11:30pm weekends) Parkwill Manor started in 2007 when a couple of Hollywood trained propmasters decided to bring their movie magic skills alive. Every actor, makeup artist, laborer and builder involved in this haunted house lends their talents free of charge. In 2012, the team donated over $5,000 dollars to after school programs in the valley and hope to do the same this year through fun and fright for all ages. In addition to signing up to be scared, guests can also volunteer to be one of the monsters at the attraction. Tickets $10. The River at Rancho Mirage, 71800 Hwy. 111, Rancho Mirage, 760-898-3371, parkwilmanor.com.

Dezart Performs kicks off its 10th season with The Legend of Georgia McBride November 3-12 Dezart Performs will begin its milestone 10th Anniversary Season on November 3rd with THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA McBRIDE, an outrageously funny comedy that premiered Off-Broadway in 2015 and drew critical raves. “We are excited to present our 10th Anniversary Season, as we’ve planned a season-long celebration,” stated Michael Shaw, Artistic Director of Dezart Performs. “Each opening night performance of our 10th season will include an opening night reception for our audience. In addition, we have a glamorous celebration planned for January 14 at Eight4Nine Restaurant in Palm Springs.” The nonprofit theater company will present eight performances (November 3-12) of THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA McBRIDE, a heartwarming genderbending comedy which is an official Pride Week event. Written by Matthew Lopez, the play is centered on Casey, an Elvis impersonator in a run-down, smalltown Florida bar. He’s young, broke and his wife is going to have a baby. But to make matters even more desperate, he’s fired from his gig and the bar owner brings in a B-level drag show to replace him. Casey finds that he has a whole lot to learn about show business and himself. THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA McBRIDE was a New York Times Critic’s Pick: “A stitch-in-your-side new comedy… full of sass and good spirits!”
The role of Casey is played by Sean Timothy Brown who returns to Dezart Performs’ stage in THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA McBRIDE after performing in Dezart Performs’ critically-acclaimed production of CLYBOURNE PARK last winter. Brown began his acting under the tutelage of Rosemary Mallett at Palm Springs High School and still lives in Palm Springs with his wife, Jen and their baby daughter, Ella. Other cast members include: Michael Mullen as Tracy; Hanz Enyeart as Rexy; Brianna Maloney as Casey’s wife, Jo; and Chet Cole as Eddie. “With 15 songs and lots of dancing throughout, this play has plenty of heart with a positive message and is sure to be a crowd pleaser,” promises Shaw. The Legend of Georgia McBride November 3 -12, 2017 Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm. Matinees Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 pm. Pearl McManus Theater (located at the historic Palm Springs Woman’s Club) 314 S. Cahuilla Rd., Downtown Palm Springs. Tickets are $28-40 For information and tickets visit: www.dezartperforms.org or by phone 760-322-0179

Dr. June McCarroll was a nurse with the Southern Pacific Railroad and her office fronted U.S. Highway 99 in Indio. She watched many head-on collisions from her window. She had the idea to delineate a divided highway by painting a stripe down the middle of the roadbed. The standard was refined and adopted worldwide. Dr. McCarroll is memorialized by a stretch of I-10 through Indio named in her honor.

Recipe of the Week Kitchen Diva By Angela Shelf Medearis Small Diet Changes Reap Big Results When it comes to our daily meal routine, change sometimes can be challenging. Studies have shown that it takes between two to eight months to form a new habit. You can create an eating style “habit” that can improve your health now and in the future by making small changes over time, such as eliminating sugary drinks and high-sodium foods. Consider making healthy changes that reflect your personal preferences, culture and traditions. Think of each change as a “win” as you build positive habits and find solutions that reflect your new healthy eating style. Use the tips below courtesy of My Plate (www.choosemyplate.gov/start-smallchanges) to find little victories that work for you! Make half your plate fruits and veggies: • Focus on whole fruits more often than drinking 100 percent juice. • Snack on fresh, frozen, canned or dried fruits instead of cookies, brownies or other sugar-sweetened treats. • Offer whole fruits without saturated fat, sodium or added sugars as dessert. • Vary your vegetables to include green, red and orange choices. • Add fresh, frozen or canned vegetables to salads, side dishes and recipes. • Prepare your vegetables without sauces, gravies or glazes to lower the amount of sodium, saturated fat and added sugars.

Make half your grains whole grains: • Choose whole-grain foods more often than refined grains. Make at least half the amount of grains you eat each day whole grains. • Find high-fiber, whole-grain foods by reading the nutrition facts label and ingredients list. • Some common whole grains include oatmeal, whole-wheat flour and popcorn. Move to low-fat and fat-free dairy: • Choose low-fat or fat-free milk and yogurt. • Buy low-fat or fat-free cheese more often than regular cheese. • Regular cream cheese, butter and cream are not in the dairy food group because they have little or no calcium. They also are high in saturated fat. Vary your protein routine: • Mix up your protein foods to include seafood, beans, nuts, seeds, soy, eggs, lean meats and poultry. • Select seafood twice a week, including fish and shellfish. • Add beans or peas, unsalted nuts and seeds, and soy in main dishes and snacks. When planning your daily meals, try healthy new ways to prepare family favorites. This recipe for Greek pork chops with mixed veggie rice incorporates fresh fruit and juices into savory dishes and mixes grains and vegetables.
Greek Pork Chops with Veggie Rice
them come up to temperature for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
• 1 pound pork cutlets (or 4 boneless pork chops) • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil • 1/2 cup orange juice • 2 teaspoons soy sauce • 1 tablespoon dried oregano • 2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced) • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon black pepper • 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper • 4 (1/4-inch-thick) orange slices
• 1 tablespoon olive oil • 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice • 1/2 onion, diced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 2 teaspoons dried oregano • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper • 2 cups water (or 1 cup water and 1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth) • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables or 2 cups fresh, diced vegetables.
Make a marinade for the pork by combining 1 tablespoon of the oil, the orange juice, soy sauce, oregano and garlic in a glass bowl or re-sealable plastic bag and mix well. Add pork chops. Cover bowl, if using, and refrigerate the pork chops for at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove pork chops from marinade; discard marinade. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. Place a large skillet on the stove over high heat. When hot, add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the pork chops to the pan, waiting about 30 seconds between each addition. Cook about 3 minutes on each side until crispy. Set pork chops aside on a plate. Add the orange slices to the pan and cook on each side about 30-seconds. Serve the pork chops over a bed of the Mixed Veggie Rice and top with the orange slices. Serves 4.
In a large saucepan over mediumhigh heat, add the oil. Add in the rice, onion, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes to toast the rice. Pour in the water and/or the broth. Stir and bring the rice to a boil. Add the vegetables; return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover pot with tightfitting lid. Do not remove the lid during the cooking process! After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for another 5 minutes to steam. Fluff rice and vegetables with a fork and serve immediately. Makes 4 to 6 servings
Mixed Veggie Rice If using leftover, already cooked vegetables, add them to the hot, cooked rice immediately, cover and let

SALOME’S STARS WEEK OF OCTOBER 23, 2017 BORN THIS WEEK: You can be firm in your own views, but also flexible enough to welcome the views of others.
ARIES (MARCH 21 TO APRIL 19) You’re eager to Ram headfirst into that new project. But before you do, find out why some of your colleagues might not appear to be as gung-ho about it as you are.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 TO OCTOBER 22) Someone might try to take advantage of your generosity. But before your sensitivity toward others overwhelms your good sense, check his or her story out carefully.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 TO MAY 20) All that dedicated hard work you’ve been putting in pays off better than you expected. So go ahead, reward yourself with something befitting a beauty-loving Bovine.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 TO NOVEMBER 21) Your strong Scorpian sense of fairness lets you see all sides of a dispute. Continue to remain impartial as you help each person work through his or her particular grievance.
GEMINI (MAY 21 TO JUNE 20) It’s a good time to take on that new challenge. And if your self-confidence is sagging, instead of telling yourself why you can’t do it, list all the reasons why you can.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 TO DECEMBER 21) Trust your keen Sagittarian insight to help you see through an offer that might not be all it claims. A closer look could reveal disturbing elements.
CANCER (JUNE 21 TO JULY 22) This is one time when you might want to put some distance between you and the job at hand. It will give you a better perspective on what you’ve done and still need to do.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 19) With the Goat exhibiting a more dominant aspect these days, you could find it easier to make your case in front of even the most skeptical audience.
LEO (JULY 23 TO AUGUST 22) Resist that occasional lapse into Leonine laziness that sometimes overtakes the Big Cat. Don’t cut corners. Do the job right at this time, or you might have to redo it later.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 TO FEBRUARY 18) Take things nice and easy as you continue to build up your energy reserves for a big change that’s coming with the full Hunter’s Moon on Oct. 29.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 TO SEPTEMBER 22) You know how you like to do things. And that’s fine. But watch that you don’t impose your methods on others. A current financial crunch soon eases.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 TO MARCH 20) Recent news from someone you trust could help you make an important decision. Also, be prepared to confront an upcoming change in a personal situation. © 2017 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

“Love Letters” Starring Wendie Malick & Dan Lauria November 11th
Join desert landscape and gardening enthusiasts of every skill level for a free day of workshops, talks, handson demonstrations, kids activities, exhibits, and more!
Here are just a few of the activities you will enjoy during Garden Day.
The power of positive thinking Outages were widespread throughout Florida after the state was ravaged by Hurricane Irma in September, leaving countless households without electricity. Linemen were overwhelmed, unable to restore power in a timely fashion, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens. But, says AMAC, a Fort Meyers woman, Kynse Agles, recovering from a kidney transplant and desperately in need of air conditioning, found a way to get her service restored quickly. She used hot pink
spray paint to fashion a plywood sign that she strategically positioned on her front lawn. It read, “Hot single female seeks sexy lineman to electrify her life.” It worked. Volunteer linemen from Pennsylvania Power and Light wasted no time in reconnecting her power. The Association of Mature American Citizens [www.amac.us] provides the Filler Files as a service on issues of concern to Americans over 50.
