GUITAR LEGEND PETER FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE Proving his instrumental mettle over and over again

By Alison Elsner

G

rammy-award winning performer Peter Frampton became a success at the young age of 16, when he co-founded one of rock ‘n’ roll’s first supergroups, the seminal rock act Humble Pie, followed by The Herd. While well known for his session work and collaborations with such legendary artists as George Harrison, Harry Nilsson, David Bowie, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ringo Starr, John Entwistle and many others, he’s most famous for his fifth solo album, the electrifying “Frampton Comes Alive!,” which recently celebrated its 40th

Calendar page 2

anniversary and remains one of the top-selling live records of all time.

His latest album, released in 2015, is called “Acoustic Classics” and features stripped down versions of his classic hits, including “Baby, I Love Your Way,” “Lines On My Face,” “Do You Feel Like I Do,” “Show Me The Way” and more. He remains well known for tunes like “Breaking All the Rules” and “I’m in You,” which are staples on classic rock radio.

Additionally, Frampton has reissued his critically lauded album “Fingerprints” via his own imprint Phenix Phonograph. Originally released in 2006, “Fingerprints”

|

won the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album.

Frampton’s cover of Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” off the album was also nominated for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.

In 2013 he performed throughout North America as part of the “Frampton’s Guitar Circus” tour which featured periodic guest performers including B.B. King, Robert Cray, Don Felder, Rick Derringer, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Steve Lukather, Sonny Landreth, David Hidalgo, Mike McCready, Roger McGuinn and Vinnie Moore. In 2014, Frampton participated in “The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to The

Beatles” tribute on the 50th anniversary of their first appearance on American television. He was also inducted into the Musicians’ Hall of Fame and has appeared as himself in the television shows “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy.” This Brit who now lives in Nashville is one of the most celebrated guitar artists ever, and his show happily gives audiences a chance to be part of rock history.

Peter Frampton will perform at 8 p.m. on Friday, August 31 at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino located at 84245 Indio Springs Parkway in Indio. For tickets, visit fantasyspringsresort.com

Bonnie: Jack Russell, Adult, Female Hi, everyone! I’m Bonnie and I’m a female Jack Russell Terrier mix who’s about a year and a half old. I weigh between 8 to 10 pounds and my coat is a smooth fawn and white. I make an adorable appearance–as you can see– because of my ears and the coloring on my face. My ears sometimes stand up tall which is the cutest thing and there’s an interesting white line down the center of my face that makes me unique.

I was found by a McDonald’s in Indio.

I was scared because I was all alone and didn’t know what was going to happen to me next. It’s a busy world out there with cars and people and other animals whizzing by! A very kind person saw me and brought me to Pet Rescue–I’m very happy here because I’m well taken

PET ADOPTION LOCATIONS:

I’m a good girl who’s very affectionate and sweet. I’m very friendly and I get along well with adults, children, and other dogs. I’ve made many new friends and I enjoy playing with them in the yard. I think I may be the total package for someone–could that someone be you?

Please come and visit me to see if I’d be the one to complete your family.

As I said before, I’m a good girl and I’d like nothing more than to be a part of your world. I don’t weigh that much so we can go places together; and, I’m more on the mellow side than some other JRT mixes. I don’t think you’d be disappointed.

I’m spayed, microchipped, and upto-date with vaccinations. I’m all set to go home with you!

Recipe of the Week

The Kitchen Diva

By Angela Shelf Medearis

CUCUMBERS, MAKE WAY FOR SUMMER SQUASH

I

vividly remember when I first fell in love with summer squash.

My newly planted kitchen garden was full of all types of herbs, tomatoes, peppers and long, vibrant green squash vines containing beautiful, edible yellow flowers.

The bell-shaped blossoms preceded an abundant crop of summer squash. We had so much squash that I quickly learned several delicious ways to prepare it.

Summer squash are members of the gourd family and include zucchini, cocozelle, yellow squash (crooked and straight) and pattypan, also called scalloped and scallopini.

Summer squash is available yearround, but is best in the warm months. The squash should be harvested when the rind is tender and the flesh is sweet. To select the perfect summer squash at the grocery store, look for ones that are medium-sized, with shiny, unblemished, slightly tender rinds.

The larger ones may be fibrous with hard rinds and seeds, while the smaller ones may not have developed much flavor.

Summer squash is very fragile and should be handled with care, as small punctures and drops of water will lead to decay. They should be stored in the vegetable bin of the refrigerator, unwashed and in a perforated plastic bag for no more than 3-5 days. Wash the squash immediately before cooking.

Squash can be frozen, but it will be soft, making it more suitable for dishes like casseroles where crispness isn’t important. To prepare squash for freezing, cut off both ends, and either cut it into cubes or slices. Blanch it for 2 minutes in hot water. You also can freeze grated summer squash.

Summer squash is low in calories,

7

but the nutrients are in the peel, so never peel summer squash.

Squash is a good source of vitamin C, magnesium, vitamin A, dietary fiber, potassium, copper, folate, phosphorus, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B-1, B-2 and B-6, calcium, zinc, niacin and protein.

Squash is deliciously versatile and can be prepared in casseroles, as croquettes, stir-fried, stuffed, baked, boiled or pickled, as outlined in this delicious recipe for Spicy Summer Squash Refrigerator Pickles or used as a “noodle” in my Summer Squash Noodle Salad.

Move over, cucumbers! Summer squash is in season!

SPICY SUMMER SQUASH REFRIGERATOR PICKLES • 9 sprigs fresh cilantro • 3 large cloves garlic, peeled and halved • 3 teaspoons mixed peppercorns • 1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds • 3 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes • 1 1/2 pounds yellow squash and/ or zucchini, sliced into thin rounds.

• 1/3 cup thinly sliced sweet onion • 1 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar • 1 1/4 cup water • 2 teaspoons kosher salt • 2 1/2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup 1. In a large glass bowl that holds about 2 quarts, add the cilantro, garlic, peppercorns, coriander, red pepper flakes, zucchini and onion.

Set aside.

2. In a small, non-corrosive saucepan over medium-high heat, bring vinegar, water, salt and honey to a boil. Pour hot mixture over contents in the glass bowl, pressing down on the vegetables so that brine covers them completely.

Let it cool on the counter to room temperature.

3. Transfer the squash pickles and the rest of the ingredients into a 2-quart glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Cover and refrigerate for at least

Photo by Depositphotos

4 hours, or 2 days for maximum flavor. Keeps in refrigerator for 2 months. Makes 6 cups.

SUMMER SQUASH NOODLE SALAD This preparation for squash is a delicious change from a green salad.

It keeps well in the refrigerator and holds up to the summer heat for backyard gatherings or picnics.

For the vinaigrette: • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice • 3 garlic cloves, minced • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil • 2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper For the salad: • 3 medium-sized, yellow summer squash or green zucchini or a combination of both, • 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and diced • 1 large tomato, cored and diced • 1/2 purple onion, thinly sliced • 2 stalks celery, sliced • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen and thawed)

• 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans or chickpeas, drained and rinsed • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped • 1 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1. Rinse unpeeled squash or zucchini. Julienne using a knife, cut into strips using a Y-shaped peeler or into noodles using a spiralizer.

2. Whisk together all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette in a small bowl until well-combined.

Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, mix together the squash, bell pepper, tomato, onion, celery, corn, garbanzo beans, basil, parsley, salt and pepper. Drizzle the squash mixture with the vinaigrette and toss together to coat. Cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to meld.

Mix again before serving. Serves 6 to 8.

Senior News Line

By Matilda Charles

Medicare Advantage: Changes Loom in 2019 Every year from October to December, seniors need to sign up for the next year’s Medicare Advantage plan ... or stay with the same one. Sometimes the choices are difficult. This year it will be even harder, due to changes that have been made to the plans.

In the past, if you needed a wheelchair ramp to get in and out of your house, the expense for that was on you. Medicare would, of course, pay for surgery and a hospital stay if you fell down the stairs trying to get out of the house because you had no ramp, but they wouldn’t pay for the ramp.

What if a $200 window air conditioner could help you stay out of the hospital on bad-air days? You would have to pay for it.

In other words, many kinds of makes-sense help haven’t been allowed by Medicare. Now, in many cases, they will be.

But not for everyone. And not

in all locations. And maybe only this year but not next year. That’s where extra scrutiny will be required. When your Medicare plan information comes in the mail, don’t assume you’ll just stay with the same one. Compare and study the plans.

Look at the network you’re in, and find whether there have been significant changes, especially in the number of specialists. Make sure Medicare Advantage plans are even available for your area. In more than 100 parts of the U.S., they’re not.

If you have questions about how to choose an Advantage plan, or even switch to a Supplement plan, start with your State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIP). Find that at the Seniors Resource Guide (seniorsresourceguide.com). Call early for an appointment, because there might be many more seniors this year looking for help.

Row, row, row your boat Here’s a world record worth reporting: a high school teacher used his summer break to row 2,000 miles across the Atlantic in 38 days, 6 hours and 49 minutes, says the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. Bryce Carlson, who teaches at Seven Hills School in Madisonville, OH, crossed the Atlantic alone from Canada to England, topping the previous solo record of some 53

days. He told reporters: “I capsized about a dozen times, give or take.

All occurred while I was inside the cabin, most while I was awake, “tailbone pretty badly.” On the bright side, he lost between 10 and 15 pounds.
