CELEBRATING THE RESIDENTIAL PARK COMMUNITIES FOR 63 YEARS

Nick Offerman & Megan Mullally to kick off second season of Palm Springs Speaks By Gary Willhide

he spoken word and a spirited delivery will be front and center at this special event featuring actors, writers and comedians Megan Mullally and husband Nick Offerman. Set to kick off the Palm Springs Speaks 2018-19 season, the couple will delve into their new newly published hardcover book, “The Greatest Love Story Ever Told: An Oral History,” as they discuss the who, what, where, why and how of their relationship in full for the first time. Audiences can expect revelatory anecdotes, hijinks, photos and

fun. Just like in the book, they will take things to a personal level, diving into their quirks, passions and ins and outs of marriage. Mullally and Offerman have been a couple for nearly 20 years and married for 15, which they like to point out, in the world of Hollywood, is closer to 102 years. As actors and humorists in today’s frenzied media cycle, where celebrity hookups and breakups often make headlines alongside changes in world policy, they are self-acknowledged outliers. Hilarious and insightful essays in the book focus on topics like “My Life as a Stripper” and “Booty Tips” by Mullally as well as

“Sex Ninja” and “Domestic Competence” by Offerman. Together, they have appeared in the television shows “Will & Grace,” “Parks & Recreation” and “Children’s Hospital,” the movies “Somebody Up There Likes Me,” “Kings of Summer,” “Infinity Baby” and “Smashed” and the comedy tour “Summer of 69: No Apostrophe.” Palm Springs Speaks was launched in 2017-18, drawing serious notice from the rest of the Valley as well as acclaim for its top-quality presenters and stage programs. Organizers are excited to share this program with the west end of the desert for its sec-

ond season, noting that it will afford a fresh take on a multifaceted event that will bring an infusion of Palm Springs’ personality and pizzazz. The program is presented and sponsored by The Friends of the Palm Springs Library and the Palm Springs Cultural Center. The enthusiasm generated during season one will be ratcheted up during season two, with stimulating future presenters soon to be announced. Palm Springs Speaks kicks off Friday, October 5 at 7 p.m. at The Richards Center for the Arts located at 2491 E. Baristo Road in Palm Springs. Visit palmspringsspeaks.com.

AC3’s culinary twist takes off By Charlie Price

all marks the return of cooler weather and, as is the case with AC3 Restaurant + Bar, a chance to celebrate some of the new things that have emerged in the Valley this year. The sleek, modern décor of this Palm Desert venue, which opened in February, boasts new American food with a twist” by collaborators Juliana and Andrew Copley (of Copley’s

on Palm Canyon) and Tony Marchese (of Trio Restaurant). The union of the three dynamos is a winning concept. Craft cocktails compete with beers originating from California here, and the wine list has been specially curated. As for the meals, there’s a bounty of passionately designed options enhanced by the use of local ingredients from The Gardens of El Paseo nearby. Bar bites—and all-day specialty—are extensive

(braised short ribs sliders and the seafood ceviche charmed us). Lunches offer an array of starters and salads, and a choice of robust burgers and sandwiches and larger plates (consider the fried chicken waffle bites, the AC3 burger or delicious salmon noodle bowl). Dinner choices are a fiery feast for the eyes and palate—roasted jidori chicken breast, pappardelle carbonara and grilled shrimp anf pork belly immediately are

winners. All of this in a designforward setting certainly brighten up the Palm Desert dining scene. Relish it all. AC3 Restaurant + Bar is located at 45350 Larkspur Lane in Palm Desert. Open daily for breakfast, 7 to 11 a.m. Lunch, 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dinner, 5 to 10 p.m. and bar bites, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Happy hour, 3 to 6:30 p.m. For more information, visit ac3palmdesert.com

• It was beloved American humorist Will Rogers who made the following sage observation: “Everything is funny as long as it’s happening to somebody else.” • If you have spent a great deal of time in the Scottish highlands, you might be familiar with the term “sgiomlaireachd.” Evidently, the habit of dropping in at mealtimes is common enough there to require a word to describe it. • The world’s most popular fruit is the banana. In the United States, people consume more bananas than apples and oranges put together. • How would you like to brush your teeth with salt, chalk or ground brick? The first tooth powders used with toothbrushes were made of just such materials. • Ever wonder why magazine publisher Hugh Hefner chose a rabbit as the symbol of his Playboy magazine? Evidently, when the mogul was a small boy, one of his treasured possessions was a blanket with bunnies all over it.

• Those who study such things say that Italians drink, on average, 26 gallons of wine every year. • The English word “vegetable” comes from the Latin word “vegetare,” which means “to invigorate.” Thought for the Day: “I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and diligent -- their place is the General Staff. The next lot are stupid and lazy -- they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent -- he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief.” -Kurt Freiherr von HammersteinEquord (c) 2018 King Features Synd., Inc.

Sunnylands Center & Gardens opens new season with a riveting look at the lives of birds There’s more to desert wildlife than coyotes and roadrunners, and Sunnylands Center & Gardens makes that point with a vibrant new exhibition that showcases the Annenberg estate as a majestic haven for a colorful array of birds. “Flight Plan: The Birds of Sunnylands” consists of 52 striking images produced by internation-

ally recognized wildlife photographer Tim Laman. A regular contributor to National Geographic, Laman spent two years capturing the courtship dances, hunting habits, and mid-air acrobatics of many of the 130 species of birds that have been sighted at Sunnylands so far. The exhibition opens Wednesday, September 12, as Sunnyl-

ands Center & Gardens launches its eighth season with a new look, new hours, and a new tour route through the historic Annenberg home. For more information, visit sunnylands.org. Sunnylands Center & Gardens is located at 37977 Bob Hope Drive in Rancho Mirage.

WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 10, 2018 BORN THIS WEEK: You have a knack for finding details that others would overlook. You would make a fine research scientist.

ARIES (MARCH 21 TO APRIL 19) With your Arian charm quotient at an almost all-time high this week, plus all the facts to back you up, you just might win over the last doubters to your proposal. TAURUS (APRIL 20 TO MAY 20) You might be in line for that job change you applied for. But be advised that you could be called on to defend your qualifications against supporters of other applicants. GEMINI (MAY 21 TO JUNE 20) Creating a new approach to an old idea is one way to get beyond that workplace impasse. No such problems in your personal life, where things continue to flow smoothly. CANCER (JUNE 21 TO JULY 22) Be more forthcoming about your feelings concerning a proposed change either in your workplace or in your personal life. Your opinions are valuable. Don’t keep them hidden. LEO (JULY 23 TO AUGUST 22) A changing situation in your life needs more patience than you appear to be willing to offer. Allowing it to develop at its own pace is the wisest course you can take at this time. VIRGO (AUGUST 23 TO SEPTEMBER 22) With more stability in your life -- on both personal and professional levels -- this could be a good time to strengthen relationships with both friends and colleagues. LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 TO OCTOBER 22) People have always relied on your integrity not only to get the job done, but to get it done right. So don’t be pressured by anyone into cutting corners to save time.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 TO NOVEMBER 21) While others might get rattled over unexpected changes, your ability to adapt calmly and competently helps you make a positive impression during a crucial period. SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 TO DECEMBER 21) A changing environment might be daunting for some, but the adventurous Sagittarian takes it all in stride. A friend from the past could awaken some meaningful memories. CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 19) With your self-assurance rising to full strength, the bold Goat should feel confident about opening up to new ventures as well as new relationships. AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 TO FEBRUARY 18) Reaching out to someone who has been unkind to you might not be easy. But in the long run it will prove to have been the right thing to do. A friend offers moral support. PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 TO MARCH 20) Your keen insight once again helps you work through a seemingly insoluble problem in your workplace.

Cha Cha: Boston Terrier Young, Female I’m Cha Cha and I’m a female Boston Terrier mix who’s about 3-4 years old. As you can see from my picture, my coat is mostly brindle and white and I make a very nice appearance– don’t I look cute in my pictures? I weigh about 25-30 pounds and I’m an affectionate, sweet girl. I’m a good girl who came to Pet Rescue because my former parent couldn’t keep me any longer. It’s not that I did anything wrong or was bad, but life isn’t easy for some people and life’s circumstances cause people to make decisions they wouldn’t normally do if things were different. Unfortunately, that happened to me, but I’m ok with it. I know I would never have been given up if things were different. I was very much loved

PET ADOPTION LOCATIONS:

and my former parent was very upset that I had to leave him. I was first adopted from Pet Rescue so I’m happy to be back at my first home where I’m well taken care of and receiving a lot of love and attention. I’ve made new friends and I enjoy hanging out with them. I also enjoy all the attention I’m getting from everyone too! It makes me feel so good when I’m held and petted. Look at me smiling in my picture! And, when I’m happy or waiting for a treat, I move my front paws in such a way that it looks like I’m doing the cha-cha! So, if you’re looking for a sweet and loving dog, please come visit me. I get along well with adults and children. I know I’ll be the best girl for you and I look forward to meeting you! I’m all ready to go as I’m spayed, upto-date with my vaccinations, and microchipped. www.coachellapetrescuecenter.org 83-496 Avenue 51, Coachella

Recipe of the Week

The Kitchen Diva By Angela Shelf Medearis

chool bells are ringing again! You probably go to great lengths during the school year to ensure your child has the right equipment -- pens, notebooks, clothing -- to make it through the day. Proper nutrition also is a key ingredient for school success because it fuels brain cells and gives your child the energy and nutrients he or she needs for optimal learning. Packing your child’s lunch lets you know exactly what he or she is eating. Try one or two tips each week and soon you should see some relief in your grocery bills! SAVE MONEY 1. Invest in a good container. Choose an insulated bag and freezer packs to keep food at a safe temperature. 2. Use washable and reusable containers. Avoid plastic sandwich baggies. Buy containers in a variety of sizes to fit your lunchbox needs. 3. Buy in bulk. Avoid single-serve packaging. You save money when you buy food in bulk and pack it yourself into single servings. Buy a large container of yogurt or pudding, and use 4-ounce containers to pack your own. Buy a block of cheese and cut it into cubes or shred it. Buy crackers in boxes, rather than individual packages. 4. Make your own. Look beyond lunch meat. Slice your own meat or grilled chicken breast and cut it into strips or cubes. Avoid prepackaged lunches, which are highpriced. 5. Send in leftovers. Invest in a good insulated food container to keep food warm. Homemade soup is always a good option. 6. Buy what’s on sale and use coupons. Get whatever is on sale

each week and work it into a menu. Use fruits and vegetables that are in season. 7. Buy store-brand food and compare unit prices. 8. Look high and low -- bargains are usually on the top or bottom shelves, not at eye level. 9. Plan ahead and have a list when you go to the store. The more time you spend in a store, the more money you spend. MAKE IT NUTRITIOUS 10. Pack a rainbow! Provide a variety of options -- the more color, the more nutrients. 11. A healthy lunch should contain foods from each of the five food groups: carbohydrates, protein, dairy, fruits and vegetables. Choose whole-grain products like bread, tortillas, pita bread, bagels or whole-grain crackers. These are more nutritious; have more fiber, vitamins and minerals, and keep blood sugar steady for optimal learning. 12. Select protein foods wisely. Use lean meat like chicken or turkey breast, hard-boiled eggs, tuna packed in water, beans or peanut butter. Protein in every meal helps keep blood sugar steady. 13. Buy fruits and vegetables that are in season and serve them creatively. Examples include baby carrots with yogurt dip or other cut vegetables with low-fat dip or hummus. 14. Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy products like yogurt, milk and cheese. These are great calcium and protein sources. 15. For side items, rethink that bag of chips. Instead, choose carrots sticks, celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins, apple slices with

peanut butter, fruit salad, whole fruit, raisins or pretzels. 16. For dessert, think beyond the cookie. Try whole-grain graham crackers, ginger snaps, raisins, unsweetened applesauce, homemade muffins or fresh fruit. 17. Choose a beverage that hydrates, like water, or choose lowfat or fat-free milk for additional protein, calcium and vitamin D. Avoid drinks with calories and no nutrients. MAKE IT FUN 18. Add some fun touches to the meal. The traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich can become pretty boring. Get a couple of cookie cutters and have kids cut the sandwich into different shapes. 19. Include the kids in the preparation process and give them choices. Take them along when grocery shopping. Let them pick one new fruit or vegetable each week that they would like to try. Let them help pack their lunch. 20. Think beyond bread when making sandwiches. Think whole-grain bagels, whole-grain pita wraps and whole-wheat tortillas. A good alternative is a whole-wheat pita pocket with hummus, shredded vegetables and grilled chicken strips.

21. Pack a variety of options to keep a child’s interest. Avoid packing the same lunch every day -- this prevents kids from getting bored. 22. Vary the preparation. Try grilled or baked, chopped or grated, plain or with a dip. 23. Practice good nutrition yourself. Children learn by association -- you need to be a role model. Discuss with them the benefits of healthy eating. 24. Don’t get discouraged if your child rejects a food on first taste. It can take 15 to 20 tries before a child gets used to a new food. By following these tips, not only will you save money, you’ll also pack a nutritious lunch that your child will enjoy throughout the school year!

Senior News Line By Matilda Charles

Do We Trust Our Doctors? Sitting in a medical office last week, I overheard something that sent a chill up my spine. Another patient in the waiting room was whispering to her friend that she didn’t trust the doctor. I wondered why she might feel that way. Did the doctor not keep up with the literature on new treatments for diseases or on prescription medicine that has been found to cause problems? Is the doctor being wooed by drug company reps? (Is the waiting room full of sales people with briefcases?) A survey from a few years ago revealed that doctors themselves believe that patient trust is waning. Of more than 2,000 physicians surveyed, 87 percent said that patients trust doctors less than they did 10 years ago. Another survey, covering patients in 29 countries, showed the U.S. was at No. 24 when it comes to Americans trusting our doctors.

Online physician reviews came under fire in another survey when approximately half of patients said they only somewhat trust the reviews. That’s something to consider when using those reviews to find a new doctor. What happens when we don’t entirely trust our doctor? We tend not to listen. Therefore we might not take it seriously when we’re told to cut back on sodium or get a flu shot, both of which (or anything else they tell us) can lead to health complications. What do we need for trust to either be present, or to rebuild after it’s faded? For some of us, it would be as simple as having a doctor who talks to us directly and doesn’t spend all their time inputting data into a laptop ... as though clicking boxes for our list of ailments. Hit the “Send” button and a prescription slip prints out at the other end, based on no medical intervention whatsoever. (c) 2018 King Features Synd., Inc.

A real nailbiter Shridhar Chillal of Pune, India visited New York City recently and treated himself to a manicure at, of all places, the Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum in Times Square. And, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC], he was long overdue. The last time Chillal, who is

82 years old, had his nails cut was in 1952. His clippings, including a thumbnail that measures 6 ½ feet long, are on display at the museum. According to the publishers of the Guinness Book of World Records, he has the longest fingernails ever recorded on a single hand.
