THE WINE COUNTRY IS BEAUTIFUL AND OPEN FOR BUSINESS! By Monica L. Dashwood Though the raging fires caused devastation in the Northern California region, what you many not realize is that the wine country is still open for business with so much to offer visitors from around the globe: Iconic wineries, top-chef restaurants, fivestar hotels, and breathtaking scenic drives. The wine country remains a one-of-a-kind destination the likes of no other region in the world. Contrary to what the media portrayed, approximately nine out of 1200+ wineries were severely damaged or destroyed by the fires in Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties. Today, harvest remains in full swing and the community at large is in good spirits, welcoming wine lovers near and far to embrace the wine, food and hospitality the region is famous for even today. Currently, the majority of the businesses in Napa Valley, Sonoma and
Mendocino counties have reopened their doors and look forward to doing what they do best. Simply put, now is the best time to discover and tour the wine country. With winter around the corner, it’s also the perfect time to enjoy the quiet of the season, the cave tours, wine and food experiences, and wine tastings while sitting by a warm and cozy fireplace found in many of the wineries. Wine Country is Open for Business, and Communities ask Tourists to Return It’s time to visit #CaliforniaWineCountryNOW As the threat from wildfires subsides, California’s Wine Country communities now face the daunting task of healing. Tourism is the Wine Country’s lifeblood. Many residents and businesses, even those not directly impacted by the fires, lost weeks of work as

fires forced evacuations and road closures. Visiting now will help these communities recover. “We are incredibly grateful for the work of first responders who fought to save these communities, and we are relieved that firefighters have gained the upper hand,” said Visit California President & CEO Caroline Beteta. “Now we need to do our part to help the recovery.” “We can all help: Now is the time to visit Wine Country,” Beteta said. “If you’re already planning a trip, don’t cancel — Wine Country residents need your business now more than ever.” Consider a trip this fall, when the weather is beautiful, vines show autumn colors and there’s plenty to see, taste and experience. “We’re open for business,” said Clay Gregory, president & CEO of Visit Napa Valley. “Now is the perfect time to experience the #NapaValleySpirit for yourself.”
“We need people to visit,” said Tim Zahner, interim CEO of Sonoma County Tourism. “We are open and ready to welcome guests. We are #SonomaStrong.” The region has more than 1,200 wineries, and fewer than 10 were heavily damaged. Most tasting rooms have reopened. And vintners expect the 2017 vintage to be excellent — 90 percent of this year’s grapes were harvested before the fires struck. In addition to buying California wine and visiting Wine Country, there are many ways to help Wine Country communities recover.

Now Here’s a Tip By JoAnn Derson • “I have a great idea for cleaning skylights. Attach an old T-shirt to the broom end of a longhandled broom, then just mist with a cleaner. You can hold it up and scrub gently. The T-shirt material makes a great scrubber.” – C.L. in Alabama • “In my house, cleaning up is a big issue. I have a large basket in the garage that is designated Toy Time Out. I ask the kids to pick something up and give them a time limit. If I have to ask again, the item goes into time out for a day. I typically get a good response to my requests.” –Mom in Maryland • Thanksgiving Tip: “If you have one person responsible for putting prep dishes and pots and pans in the dishwasher while you are preparing the bird and side dishes for the table, you will be halfway done with dishes by the time the meal is over.” – M.A. in Washington • “I buy extra supplies for Thanksgiving dinner as items go on sale. We always make extra-large portions of our side dishes, and put in an extra turkey while we’re eating! Freeze meals in individual containers for quick dinners throughout the busy weeks from Turkey Day to Christmas Day. Potatoes and vegetable casseroles freeze well, and they taste better than microwave dinners from the grocery store.” – E.S. in Oregon • For a tailgating favorite, make this: Prepare a batch of macaroni and cheese, then add an egg and stir in. Butter the wells of a muffin tin, and fill with the mac and cheese. Top with a bit of shredded cheddar and bake for 20 minutes at 400 F. You can even make them super portable by using muffin liners.

Social Security Matters
“Ask Rusty” - College benefits for dependent child
Dear Rusty: I am an older father, having recently been blessed with another child from my second marriage. I started collecting Social Security at my full retirement age and although my current wife is not yet eligible to receive benefits, I now have a young child whose future I need to worry about. So I’m wondering: is there any way Social Security will help pay for my child’s future college education when that time comes? Signed: Older Father Dear Older Father: Well, Social Security won’t pay the tuition for your child directly, but since you’re already collecting benefits and have a young child from your second marriage, your dependent child is entitled to up to half the Social Security amount you are collecting. If you haven’t already, you should apply for this benefit right away. Then what you may do for your child is take
advantage of what some have called a “Viagra College Fund,” that is, a Qualified Tuition Plan authorized by Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. This is often referred to simply as a 529 Plan, and every U.S. state and the District of Columbia, as well as many educational institutions, offers at least one type of 529 plan. You may want to establish a 529 for your dependent child and then deposit their Social Security benefits into that plan. There are two types of 529 plans - prepaid tuition plan and college savings plan. The former allows you to purchase tuition credits at a participating university and the latter simply establishes a savings account to be used for future college expenses. As you might expect, there are plenty of rules governing these plans, and you can find out much of what you need to know at https://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/intro529.htm. You are
to be commended for thinking so far ahead for your young dependent’s future. Your minor child’s Social Security dependent benefit could be as much as 50% of your benefit, and will normally continue until they are 18 years of age (or 19 if still a student or disabled), so a substantial amount of college savings could be accumulated in the 529 by the time he or she attends college.

Veterans Day In The Coachella Valley A strong tradition of recognizing all who have served
By Alison Elsner One common thread that unites all ages, demographics and even political viewpoints is the appreciation of those that currently serve and have fought for our country. Even those among us who self-classify as “kneetakers” emphasize that the act is in no way intended to denigrate members of our military, rather just the opposite. The Coachella Valley has a strong history of observing the holiday, with numerous celebrations, ceremonies and remembrances taking place around the desert. Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I on November 11, 1918. In 1954, after both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting the word “Veterans,” making it a day to honor American veterans of all wars. United States Senate Resolution 143, which was passed in 2001, designated the week of Nov. 11 through Nov. 17, 2001, as “National Veterans Awareness Week,” aimed at efforts directed at elementary and secondary school students concerning the contributions and sacrifices of veterans. It’s important to note the difference between Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day, as they are often confused. Memorial Day honors service members who died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle. Deceased veterans are also remembered on Veterans Day but the day is set aside to thank and honor living veterans who served honor-
ably in the military - in wartime or peacetime. Here’s a round-up of some 2017 Veteran’s Day and Week events, and some extend throughout the month. November 11, 9:00am La Quinta’s Annual Veteran’s Day Ceremony A special recognition event, presented by Mayor Linda Evans and Assemblyman Chad Mayes, will thank La Quinta veterans from all branches of the military for their service and sacrifice. There will be a flyover jet from the Palm Springs Air Museum at 9:02am as well as music by the La Quinta High School Wind Syphony and a display of American Flag art pieces created by high school girls through the Ophelia Project. Seating is reserved for veterans with any remaining chairs available on a first come, first served basis. Free. The Courtyard in City Hall, 78-495 Calle Tampico, La Quinta, 760-777-7032, playinlaquinta.com/Veteran-s-Day. November 11, 10:00am – 5:00pm Palm Springs Air Museum Anniversary, Air Fair and F9F Panther Aircraft Unveiling The renowned Museum celebrates its 21st anniversary with thanks to all who served Our Country. The day will feature flight exhibitions, musical performances, birthday cake, World War Two re-enactors and activities for kids. At 1:00pm, organizers will unveil the newly restored F9F Panther aircraft and hold a special tribute to all who maintained and flew the fabulous machine. Souvenir photographs will be offered. Admission $10 $17 per person, $5 donation for climbing into aircraft. 745 N. Gene Autry Trail, Palm Springs, 760-778-6262, psam.org.
November 11, 11:00am Veterans Day 2017 at General Patton Memorial Museum The Patton Museum commemorates those who have served in the military as well as General Patton’s influence upon the area when he trained American soldiers at the Desert Training Center. This year, special honorees include Robert Izumi, who served 60 years in the U.S. Armed Forces and was deployed during World War II and the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and Harold Matzner, generous Museum supporter. There will also be an air salute fly-over by a WWII aircraft along with a chili cook-off. Free. 62510 Chiriaco Rd., Chiriaco Summit, 760-227-3473, generalpattonmuseum.com. November 11, 11:00am Palm Desert to Honor Veterans at Civic Center Park This year’s celebration of service members will feature a keynote speech from Colonel Kyle Ellison, Regimental Commander of the 7th Marines, the United States Marine Corps regiment that has been adopted by the City of Palm Desert. The day’s highlights will also include a patriotic concert performed by the Heatwave Boys and Girls Club Jazz Band. Limited seating will be provided at the park’s amphitheater. Attendees should bring blankets and portable chairs. (No alcohol or smoking). 73510 Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert, 760-776-6425. November 11, 3:30pm – 5:15pm 21st annual Palm Springs Veterans Day Parade in Palm Springs One of the largest in southern California, the parade begins at Ramon Road and Palm Canyon Drive and heads northbound on Palm Canyon
Drive. Parade-watchers should stake out their sidewalk seats early and can expect to see marching bands, local businesses, city officials and, of course, honored veterans. The event concludes with a post-parade patriotic concert and fireworks finale. The City of Palm Springs has once again been designated as a Regional Site for the observance of Veterans Day by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, one of just sixty events selected nationwide to receive this designation. Free. Downtown Palm Springs, 760-323-8265, palmspringsca. gov/government/departments/parksrecreation/18th-annual-palm-springsveterans-day-parade.

Disney characters were some the most popular but other figures from Warner Bros., MGM and comic strips were in high demand. This private collection of WWII Insignia Art is being shared for a limited time only so that the modern public may appreciate the work of the artists who lent their talents to inspire the “Greatest Generation”. Admission $10 - $17 per person. 745 N. Gene Autry Trail, Palm Springs, 760-778-6262, psam.org.

Presented by Michael Carra of the flight exhibition follows program. Tickets $5 - $16.95. 745 N. Gene Autry Drive, Palm Springs, 760-778-6262, palmspringsairmuseum.org.

Senses Fade as We Age
Ninety-four percent of us will lose one or more our senses as we get older. A company called Sodexo, a leader in quality of life services, did a study with the University of Ottawa to help those who work with seniors understand how we perceive the world as those senses wane, especially in the long-term care field. The study results offered conclusions and help on topics such as: Hearing – Most seniors over the age of 85 have hearing loss. Tips: Minimize sounds of heating and air conditioning systems, and provide a background of nature sounds and music. Smell – The sense of smell starts to decrease at age 60. Tips: Utilize open kitchens so seniors can smell food being prepared. Provide freshair ventilation. Vision – Weakened eye muscles, diminished vision. Tips: Use high-contrast colors helps seniors navigate corridors and see all the food on their plate. Avoid clutter. Install minimumglare flooring. Touch – Each year we seniors lose 1 percent of our ability to perceive vibrations or pressure. Tips: Animal therapy can provide opportunities to touch. Beware injuries to feet, since they often can go unnoticed. Taste – Our ability to taste starts to decline at age 40 in women and age 50 in men. Tips: Medications can alter the taste of foods; look for alternative medications. Provide foods with texture, and use a variety of spices and herbs. In addition to the sensory loses, seniors can experience loneliness, which can result in aggression and stress. Help by providing a regular schedule of activities and social interaction. For study results, as well as tools Sodexo created to help us find quality long-term care, go online to sodexo.com and search for “How and Why the Five Senses Matter for Quality of Life.” © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

Recipe of the Week Kitchen Diva By Angela Shelf Medearis Cook Up a Fall Feast! It’s important to include fruits and vegetables in your diet year-round to stay healthy and to ward off diseases, but serving fresh vegetables can be a bit challenging during the winter months. If you enjoy eating seasonally, there are still a good variety of delicious, flavorful vegetables available. Here are some of the superstar fruits and vegetables of the fall and winter months. Sweet Potatoes: They have more nutrients than regular white potatoes and can replace white potatoes in some recipes. Sweet potatoes are loaded with beta-carotene (which the body makes into vitamin A), vitamin C, potassium, fiber, iron and vitamin B-6. Try them mashed, baked or as a dessert. Apples: A traditional fall favorite, apples are easy to find in the supermarket, or you can pick your own at a nearby orchard. They’re a quick, easy snack that can be paired with peanut butter or cheese for protein. Apples contain antioxidants, which may help protect against certain cancers and reduce levels of LDL, or bad cholesterol. Apples have vitamin C, vitamin K and fiber. Remember the old saying: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Broccoli: This is one vegetable that can be eaten raw or cooked, hot or cold, by itself or with other foods. Broccoli can help prevent cancer and
heart disease, while boosting the immune system. Nutrients in broccoli include vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B-6, iron, calcium, magnesium and vitamin E.
Research suggests that regularly eating pears and other fruits may guard against macular degeneration. Pears seldom cause allergies and usually are safe for infants and small children.
Pumpkin: It’s is a great source of potassium and beta carotene, a powerful antioxidant that is good for the eyes. Canned or prepared fresh, pumpkin can be made into a variety of soups, baked goods and desserts.
Green Beans: They are high in vitamin K, which protects red blood cells and helps reduce the severity of asthma, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. They also contain vitamin C, potassium, folate, iron and magnesium. Green beans can be served as a side dish or used in salads, soups or casseroles.
Kiwi: This fruit can be eaten alone (after peeling) or can be added to many different dishes, including soups, salads and desserts. Kiwi contains antioxidants, which can help protect the eyes, heart and colon, plus vitamin C, fiber, potassium, magnesium and vitamin E.
This recipe for Sweet Potato, Apple, Broccoli and Green Bean Bake uses these superstar fall vegetables in an interesting and delicious new way!
Avocado: While avocados contain healthy monounsaturated fat, even healthy fat is a dense source of energy, so it’s important to eat them in moderation. Avocados also contain vitamin E, fiber, potassium, folate and vitamin C. They can be used on sandwiches or salads, or made into guacamole. Spinach: Dark-green veggies contain lots of nutrients that a healthy body needs. Spinach is packed with vitamin A, vitamin K, iron, folate, magnesium, vitamin C, calcium, potassium, fiber and vitamin E. Spinach also has antioxidants and anti-cancer agents. Frozen or fresh spinach can be added to just about any meal. Try using it on pizza or lasagna, or use it instead of lettuce in a salad. Pears: This fruit is a good source of fiber, antioxidants and vitamin C.

SALOME’S STARS WEEK OF NOVEMBER 6, 2017 BORN THIS WEEK: You’re a good friend and a trusted confidante. You would be a wonderful teacher or a respected member of the clergy.
ARIES (MARCH 21 TO APRIL 19) Your honesty continues to impress everyone who needs reassurance about a project. But be careful you don’t lose patience with those who are still not ready to act.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 TO OCTOBER 22) While you’re to be admired for how you handled recent workplace problems, be careful not to react the same way to a new situation until all the facts are in.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 TO MAY 20) Pushing others too hard to do things your way could cause resentment and raise more doubts. Instead, take more time to explain why your methods will work.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 TO NOVEMBER 21) Rely on your keen instincts as well as the facts at hand when dealing with a troubling situation. Be patient. Take things one step at a time as you work through it.
GEMINI (MAY 21 TO JUNE 20) Be more considerate of those close to you before making a decision that could have a serious effect on their lives. Explain your intentions and ask for their advice.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 TO DECEMBER 21) Your curiosity leads you to ask questions. However, the answers might not be what you hoped to hear. Don’t reject them without checking them out.
CANCER (JUNE 21 TO JULY 22) You might have to defend a workplace decision you plan to make. Colleagues might back you up on this, but it’s the facts that will ultimately win the day for you. Good luck.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 19) Be careful not to tackle a problem without sufficient facts. Even surefooted Goats need to know where they’ll land before leaping off a mountain path.
LEO (JULY 23 TO AUGUST 22) The Big Cat’s co-workers might not be doing enough to help get that project finished. Your roars might stir things up, but gentle purrr-suasion will prove to be more effective.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 TO FEBRUARY 18) Appearances can be deceiving. You need to do more investigating before investing your time, let alone your money, in something that might have some hidden flaws.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 TO SEPTEMBER 22) Someone you care for needs help with a problem. Give it lovingly and without judging the situation. Whatever you feel you should know will be revealed later.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 TO MARCH 20) Your recent stand on an issue could make you the focus of more attention than you would like. But you’ll regain your privacy, as well as more time with loved ones by week’s end. © 2017 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

1932: Movies introduced at The Desert Inn
Earle Strebe was working at The Desert Inn as a bellman, waiter and bookkeeper when he began showing movies to guests and the public in the lobby with an old Bell and Howell projector. As his audiences grew, he moved his venue to the Frances Stevens School, where teacher Katherine Finchy helped him collect the tickets. He eventually built the Village Movie Theater in downtown Palm Springs. According to Frank Bogert, “Everybody went every night. There wasn’t much to do at night.” The Village Theater stayed in business until 1980. Strebe built a chain of theaters in Southern California, along with the famous Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs.
• “Brave New World,” a novel by Aldous Huxley, is first published. • The 1932 Winter Olympics open in Lake Placid, New York. • Pope Pius XI meets Benito Mussolini in Vatican City. • Charles Lindbergh, Jr., the infant son of Anne Morrow Lindbergh and Charles Lindbergh, is kidnapped from the family home near Hopewell, New Jersey. • Comedian Jack Benny’s radio show airs for the first time. • The Dow Jones Industrial Average reaches its lowest level of the Great Depression.
