Sri Lanka Update Easter tragedy: What we know so far about the deadly attacks in Sri Lanka

By Desert Star Staff Thirteen suspects have been arrested as the death toll from the horrific church and hotel attacks in Sri Lanka climbed to over 300, with no group claiming responsibility.

Explosions rocked three luxury hotels in the nation’s largest city, Colombo, and three packed Catholic

churches across the country on Sunday morning. Two additional explosions followed this at different sites. The tragedy occurred as Christians were gathering for Easter Sunday Masses.

Thirteen people have been arrested in connection to the attacks, the government confirmed. State Minister of

Defense Ruwan Wijewardene earlier told reporters that all of the perpetrators “have been identified,” and will be caught no matter what “religious extremism they are following.”

The officials didn’t specify whether the suspects belonged to a particular group, and provided no additional details.

One of the suicide bombers

checked into the Cinnamon Grand hotel in Colombo under the name Mohamed Azzam Mohamed, Indian media wrote. He reportedly set off an explosive at the hotel’s busy restaurant while standing in line for the Easter Sunday breakfast buffet.

Two more suicide bombers, who were behind the attacks

on the Shangri La hotel and a church in Batticaloa, have also been reportedly identified as Zahran Hashim and Abu Mohammed, according to a report by an Indian News 18 TV Channel. No other details about the alleged perpetrators have been revealed so far.

Tim: Yes. He’s formerly a personal trainer and football player, so he was very fit. In preparation for filming, he spent months bulking up by working out every day, lifting weights and eating only 4,000 calories daily.

PART 1: MAKING THE FILM What drew you to this subject matter?

We started with a traditional table read followed by many conversations so that we were generally in sync with whom these characters were and how they would interact. So, we had a good understanding before we hit the set. That said, I also like to plan. I’m too nervous to wing it.

Everything always changes, and you have to be flexible, but I like to have a roadmap.

During the shoot, did the script go through any changes?

Tim: We started with what was on the page, but in the moment you always adapt to what’s working or what’s not working. There were a lot of improvisations and changes that happened, but in general, the movie is structured as written.

What was most difficult about the shoot?

Tim: Working with the young kids was difficult. It was the first week, and we had a lot of stuff to do with them. We were getting up and running as a crew so having small children on set was really challenging. There was a lot of improvising going on. (Laughs) They don’t always do what you tell them to do. They get cranky, and hungry and tired.

Dealing with the kids was challenging and nerve-racking.

Wildflowers and Wild Art in Borrego Springs

By Pamela Price Thanks to the stupendous response to the high desert’s lavish display of Wildflowers (BorregoBlooms.org) this immense State Park has captured international media attention during recordbreaking visitors. Undaunted this 585,000-acre masterpiece of dramatic desert geography is turning the corner for tourism in this surreal, but stunning environment. While you might not be focusing your camera on the elusive Bighorn Sheep (“Borrego” is Spanish for bighorn), there are still mega opportunities to capture the flight of golden eagles or a quiet, slithering red diamond rattlesnake.

Blend nature’s elements, and you can see why California’s largest Anza-Borrego State Park is uncompromised when you add 12 wilderness areas with miles hiking trails.

Along these captivating trails you just might catch a glimpse of a roadrunner or even a few chuckwallas, and let’s not forget those smart iguanas who blend in with most anything with their builtin desert camouflage. There’s more to discover in nearby Galleta Meadows which is not nor part of Anza-Borrego State Park but certainly could be with a legendary “magical menagerie of free-standing sculptures” that could easily stop you in tracks, literally!” said Sue Townsley tasked with photographing this mythical outdoor exhibit, a brainchild of visionary town benefactor, Dennis Avery. The result of his collaboration with artistwelder, Ricardo Breceda now astounds and “overwhelms the public” as my art friend said.

The bigger than outdoor life exhibit, on both sides of the road, resembles a movie set just waiting for the cameras to roll. The project launched in April 2008 on a large private parcel of land

visible from Borrego Springs Road, from north and south.

Now numbering two dozen impressive sculptures, this is the site where prehistoric history goes seriously retro.

From tortoises to mammoths and wild pigs to a larger than life Shasta Ground Sloth set against a sunrise or sunset signals a moment to remember along with the area’s 300 species of birds.

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL Hi Kelly, Our HOA recently voted to update our CC&R’s. One section prohibits ownership of numerous breeds of dogs that the board considers dangerous. Since California law (Food and Agri. Code 31683) outlaws dog breed discrimination by counties and cities we are the only HOA in the region that bans ownership of certain dogs.

dog to have, not the HOA. Thanks for your question. Kelly

Can We Limit Dogs?

Dear R.L.: The Food and Agricultural Code section you mention applies to ordinances adopted by cities and counties, but not restrictions passed by common interest developments. So, when the association members voted to approve an amendment to the CC&R’s prohibiting certain dog breeds, the amendment would not violate that specific law. However, the DavisStirling Act does protect the right to have a “pet,” which per Civil Code 4715 includes dogs. Under that statute, an association must allow an owner to keep one pet on the property. The statute defines “pet” as including ”any…dog,” so if one takes the statute as written, it is the homeowner who chooses what breed of

Dear Mr. Richardson: How can HOAs handle large, aggressive service dogs that otherwise would be barred by CC&R’s? How can HOAs accommodate residents’ allergies or legitimate fears re: service animals?

A.Y., West Los Angeles Dear A.Y.: The Fair Housing Act requires associations to provide reasonable accommodations to residents with disabilities, and one of the most common accommodations allowing a service dog or support animal.

However, if the dog creates a nuisance by damaging property or menacing other residents, that accommodation may become unreasonable. The current draft of the proposed Housing Regulations specifically states that action denying a requested accommodation cannot be based on a suspected or feared problem but must respond to an actual problem. The resident with the dog may be required to stay a reasonable distance away from residents who have documented dog allergies.

Service animals are specially trained and would not normally be expected to frighten residents, but support animals (often called “comfort animals”) April 24, 2019

are not trained. Associations should be reasonable in accommodating such animals, but reasonableness has its limits, and the resident with the animal does not have a “blank check” to cause problems.

There are many who argue a resident may have an additional dog beyond the HOA’s limit if that dog is a support animal, and this argument has not yet been addressed by the appellate courts. The safe approach is to allow the requesting Kelly: I had heard there resident a support dog beyond was a new law regarding the pet limit, until guidance something about no more comes from either the courts restrictions on the number of or the Department of Fair dogs/pets.

Curbing Overdose Deaths: All Hands-on Deck in Ohio

By Desert Star Staff COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio is among four states taking part in an ambitious effort to stem the tide of the opioid crisis.

The state is receiving nearly $70 million in federal funding for The HEALing Communities Study aimed at reducing overdose deaths by 40 percent over three years.

A coalition of universities, led by Ohio State and the University of Cincinnati, will focus on 19 counties hit hardest by the epidemic.

Lead investigator Dr. Rebecca Jackson, director of Ohio State’s Center for Clinical and Translational Science and associate dean for clinical research in the College of Medicine, says it’s a unique, all-hands-on-deck opportunity that will connect the efforts of criminal justice, medical providers, behavioral health systems, faith-based organizations, and other community-level stakeholders.

“There’s been a tremendous amount of wonderful people who have worked very, very hard in the trenches every day to try to save people’s lives in the opioid crisis,” she states. “And this gives us one more set of tools, a greater set of information that’s going to benefit all of us.”

The National Institutes of Health also chose Kentucky, Massachusetts and New York for the study.

Jackson says the study will examine naloxone distribution to reduce opioid overdose deaths and test other evidence-based prevention, treatment, and recovery interventions.

“Behavioral therapies or peer systems and other things to enhance long-term recovery,” she explains. “And supporting housing and education and jobs to have that long-term success.”

The 19 participating Ohio counties run the gamut

in terms of location and size, and Jackson says they will serve as a microcosm for the United States.

“We believe lessons learned from these communities in Ohio will not only serve to give us important information so we can stem the tide of the opioid crisis across the other counties in Ohio but, in fact, across the region and nationally,” she states.

Prescription opioid overdose deaths were at an eight-year low in Ohio in 2017, which state leaders attribute to stricter prescription guidelines, stronger drug monitoring, and increased enforcement efforts.

However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still ranks Ohio second nationally for drugoverdose mortality.

This story was produced in association with Media in the Public Interest and funded in part by The George Gund Foundation.

By Desert Star Staff US President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit to block a subpoena issued by the chairman of the US House Oversight Committee, which is seeking information about his personal and business finances.

In a court filing on Monday, Trump Organization lawyers said that the subpoena issued

by Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings is “invalid and unenforceable” because it has “no legitimate legislative purpose.”

The complaint, filed in Washington DC federal court, said that the Democratic Party had “declared allout political war” on Trump and that subpoenas “are their weapon of choice.”

The subpoena attempts

to obtain “years’ worth of confidential information,” is an “abuse of power,” and another example of “overreach”

by Democrats intent on investigating the president, Trump’s lawyer William Consovoy said in a statement.

Democrats have consistently requested that Trump release his tax returns, but so far Trump has refused to comply – and

By Desert Star Staff DENVER, COLORADO, USA, April 20, 2019 -- Today is 420, and since I’m in Colorado I had to go to the one Carl’s Jr. that is selling CBD-infused “Rocky Mountain High Cheeseburger Delights.”

420 started as an inside joke among a group of Northern California high school students in the 1970s and has become somewhat of a holiday for marijuana consumers.

In recent years 420 has expanded to encompass all things that those in the marijuana community hold dear. CBD-infused burgers are a way to celebrate 420.

I arrived at the one Carl’s Jr. location that was selling the CBD-infused burgers a little before 11:00 am, and it was mayhem. There were people directing traffic, the parking lot was overflowing, and there were about 30 cars in the drive-through lane.

I went inside and waited in line for about 15 minutes to place my order. It then took another

15 minutes to receive it.

Appropriately enough, the Carl’s Jr. burgers were sold for $4.20. The CBD was infused in the burger’s “Santa Fe Sauce,” which included jalapenos.

Each burger was infused with 5 mg of CBD, a very minimal quantity. The amount of CBD was undoubtedly not enough to provide any of its well-publicized benefits. While speaking to other customers who were waiting in line, their interest in eating a CBD-infused burger was not about any health benefit, but just instead was a way to celebrate 420.

I’m guessing that Carl’s Jr. corporate offices had no idea how their franchisee in Denver was celebrating 420. Because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved CBD as a food-additive, I asked who I thought was the manager whether he had received any calls from either the Colorado or Denver health departments.

He said that they had received three calls, but he

didn’t respond to my followup question regarding the requests. It was clear that the calls didn’t affect their plans to sell CBD-infused burgers.

Since the CBD-infused burgers were only being sold for one day, I’m assuming that the state and city decided to let Carl’s Jr. proceed with their 420 celebration.

Carl’s Jr.’s CBD-infused burgers are significant in that it is the first time that a national food chain has added CBD to a menu item.

It’s another indication that despite the illegality of CBD as a food additive, that CBD is here to stay, and that no efforts by the FDA will slow down this new industry.

Trump sues to block Democrats’ subpoena to look into his personal finances it has been expected for months that the issue would eventually end up in court.

Getting their hands on information about Trump’s personal finances is seen

by Democrats as another potential avenue to investigate and stonewall the Trump presidency, particularly after the two-year-long investigation into “collusion” between the Trump campaign and Russia

came up empty in March.

The Monday lawsuit argues that the goal of the subpoena is to “expose the plaintiffs’ private financial information for the sake of exposure, with the hope that it will turn up something that Democrats can use as a political tool” going into the 2020 election campaign.

“Does your child have Asthma? Simple Steps to Control it Better.”

By Dr. Kenneth Pomar SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, - In brief, asthma is a chronic disease affecting the airways that carry air in and out of the lungs. With asthma, the inside walls of the airways are sore and swollen. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 6.2 million children under the age of 18 have this condition (8.4%). Because children have smaller airways, they are particularly affected by it. Affected children have symptoms such as trouble breathing, wheezing, and coughing. There are many causes, including infections (such as a cold), allergens (such as mold or pollen), and air pollution.

Asthma Causes: Asthma refers to the inflammation and irritation in the lungs.

People who have asthma face difficulty in breathing and often need an inhaler to soothe the inflamed airways. This disease cannot be cured, but strictly following rules can control its effects. Here are the most common asthma causes: * Allergens such as pollen, dust particles, pet hair, and feathers

* Flu * Air pollution * Sudden weather changes * Certain medicines such as aspirin and ibuprofen * Mold Spores * Heavy exercise What Causes Asthma: Asthma is growing with a rapid increase in air pollution. Today, about 1 out of 12 people, and this number is growing each day. What causes asthma is not precisely known, but certain risk factors increase the chances of a person developing this disease.

The risk factors include: * Genetics – Some people have asthma because they inherited it from one of their parents.

There’s nothing they can do about it except keeping themselves away from things that trigger their asthma. * Allergy – Children with allergies tend to develop asthma. Eczema, food allergies, and hay fever are the common culprits behind the development of asthma. * Bronchiolitis – It is a lung disease which creates difficulty in breathing.

Children develop it at an

early age if they are exposed to the Bronchiolitis virus. * Smoking – If a pregnant woman smokes cigarettes, it is more likely that her unborn child develops asthma. * Pre-mature babies – Children who are born before 37 weeks are at a high risk of developing asthma.

Asthma Symptoms: People take these symptoms lightly and ignore them, ruling out the possibility that they might be associated with asthma. Some people exhibit these symptoms while others do not. If you find your loved ones suffering from any of the following symptoms, consult a doctor immediately: * Shortness of breath* Tightness in the chest* Wheezing – a whistling sound while inhaling and exhaling * Coughing that lasts for a long time * Coughing while laughing or during exercise Asthma patients should carry an inhaler with them at all times. They should stay away from asthma triggers as much as possible. If someone is suffering from an asthma attack and they do not have an inhaler with

them, they should try to sit up straight and inhale and exhale deeply. If they are near something that’s a trigger for their asthma, they should immediately get away from it.

In the case of coughing does not stop, they should seek medical help immediately.

Dr. Kenneth Pomar Rebong, MD, is a medical doctor in San Jose, California, and specializes in Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. He completed his Pediatric Residency at RUTGERS University in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

5 Ways to Get Kids Excited About STEM Learning

By Desert Star Staff Many of the growing problems around the world, from famines and food insecurity to climate change and profound poverty, need the contributions of brilliant scientists, engineers, mathematicians and technologists. Encouraging children to explore skills and careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) can help build a better future.

Whether a child pursues a formal career in STEM or just gains the background in related skills, that experience and perspective can be important in stimulating change. Unlock the potential in your child with these tips from the learning experts at KinderCare: 1. Recognize people who advance STEM. When www.desertstarweekly.com

reading a book or watching a show featuring characters in STEM careers, such as doctors, mechanics or computer engineers, talk with your child about the characteristics those characters have in common, like a sense of curiosity or a willingness to try an idea that may or may not work. Taking time to point out any family members or friends with similar jobs or hobbies can help your child picture himself or herself in STEM-related roles.

2. Identify outsidethe-box places STEM lives.

Technology, for example, can be used to conduct research, draw or create music – things that don’t always occur in laboratories, research centers or tech companies. Using technology to pursue other

interests can open new possibilities for children to channel their interests into STEM careers. To build on any specific interests, such as robotics, the ocean or the universe, find activities in your area you can do with your child. For example, encourage your child to ask the zookeepers about certain animals he or she

is interested in or research the lifecycle of a tree before taking a family camping trip.

3. Focus on the process to instill confidence. Kids should understand failure is OK, so they’re more open to try something new and step outside their comfort zones. Encourage your child to explore his or her passions and interests more in-depth. Try to compliment desired behaviors, such as hard work, perseverance, grit and learning from mistakes, to teach your child success doesn’t come from always being right.

4. Emphasize STEMrelated skills. Curiosity, observation, problemsolving, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication are crucial in nearly all STEM-focused careers. By asking questions like “why?,” “how?” and “what if?,” and giving children the opportunity to explain the world around them instead of

simply providing the answers, you can help spark curiosity and set the foundation for the development of more advanced skills.

5. Don’t limit your child to gender stereotypes.

Ensure your children know they have the ability to do and try things that capture their attention and align with their passions. Try to refrain from identifying certain toys or games as things that are just for boys or girls. All children should be allowed to play with and explore trucks, dolls, dinosaurs, kitchen sets and tool boxes. Try to avoid setting boundaries that could unintentionally channel a child in a different direction, and make sure your child understands the vast possibilities his or her future holds.

5 Tips to Successfully Bring a New Pet into Your Home

By Desert Star Staff Bringing home a puppy or kitten can lead to a lot of excitement. However, discussing issues that may arise and preparing in advance for a new pet’s arrival can help make for a smooth transition.

Consider these tips from the pet experts at PetSmart Charities to help make your new pet’s adjustment to its forever home

a resounding success.

Know that pet parenting is a lifetime commitment. That oh-so-sweet puppy or kitten stage only lasts so long, so be sure that you’re prepared to give a lifetime of loving care. Nurturing the bond you create during the early months can create a foundation for lifelong companionship.

Consider adoption first.

There are literally thousands

of animals of all breeds and ages looking for loving homes.

Consider adopting a pet that needs a home from a local shelter or adoption event.

“When you consider an option like adoption, you can make sure one less dog or cat is living in a shelter while also providing the gift of unconditional love to a furry friend in need,” said David Haworth, DVM,

Ph.D., president of PetSmart Charities, which helps find forever homes and families for more than 500,000 shelter pets each year. “As a way to make adoption more accessible, we work with local adoption partners to bring adoptable pets into PetSmart stores each and every day, and especially during our National Adoption Weekends, which take place in stores nationwide.”

Select an appropriate pet. Integrating a pet into your household, especially for a first-time pet owner, can take some work. It’s important to consider factors like how often you travel, whether your work schedule will allow a visit home during the day for a pottytraining puppy and if you’re willing to provide necessary care, such as daily brushing for a long-haired animal. Also consider whether you truly want a puppy or a kitten; an adult pet offers numerous benefits, such as potentially being house-trained already and more resilient for play with small kids.

Provide structure for your pet. In a new family, a pet will often look for where he or she fits in and try to

By Desert Star Staff Flowers are always a classic selection on Mother’s Day, but for gifts that will truly make Mom’s day, consider the following ideas: 1. Self-care. Whether you bring the professionals to your home or plan a spa day,

Mom deserves to be taken care of and treated well. A gift certificate is a great way to let her pick the services she wants á la carte, though many spas offer special package deals providing a greater value. Either send Mom alone for some deserved

me-time, or make a day of it and join her so you can enjoy some quality time together.

2. Music. For musical moms with limited space, or moms looking to learn piano or hone their skills, consider gifting a keyboard with a slim profile.

Weighing in at less than 25 pounds, the Casio’s PX-S1000 boasts the Smart Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard with simulated ebony and ivory key textures, for a grand piano feel and a remarkable sound. And integrated Bluetooth technology lets you connect your device wirelessly. Complement this gift with a package of lessons or music to get her started.

3. Making a meal. Create memories together, and a new family tradition, by cooking one of Mom’s favorite or most

notable recipes together.

Not only will you be creating a delicious Mother’s Day meal, she can pass down the recipe to you while you spend quality time together.

4. Timepiece. Put a spin on the usual jewelry given on Mother’s Day, with an accessory that’s not only fashionable, but useful, too. For versatility that will complement simple, classic or retro glam looks, consider the Vintage Collection timepieces from Casio, which are offered in different metallic color combinations, such as gold and black, rose gold, silver, and even camo, and equipped with an LED-lit display face, a countdown timer and a 1/10th second stopwatch. They also feature a daily alarm, hourly time

understand the rules of the house. Dogs, especially, crave routine, boundaries and rules. Cats like to know what to expect, too. When pets don’t understand, they can feel uncertain and some pets might hide until they feel more comfortable. Sensible rules can help pets feel secure in their new environments. Being consistent with training, helping pets understand what behavior you want and providing a solid routine can help them feel comfortable and confident.

Prepare for pet parenting.

The sweet kisses and cuddles are fun, but a new pet requires some preparation. Stock up on items like age-appropriate food and toys. Look into training classes and find a veterinarian you trust for regular checkups. Also take time to pet-proof your home, removing items that may pose a health threat or create temptations for undesirable behaviors.

SoCal’s Ontario International Airport welcomes Delta Atlanta flights

By Desert Star Staff Ontario, California – Ontario International Airport (ONT) today welcomed Delta Air Lines flight 996 from Atlanta, marking the launch of daily, nonstop service between the Inland Empire and the carrier’s hub at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL).

The arrival from Atlanta, the world’s busiest airport,

was scheduled at 10:21 a.m.

(PDT). The inaugural flight

for ONT was scheduled to depart at 11:15 a.m. (PDT).

Atlanta is the 21st destination reachable by nonstop commercial service from Ontario.

Delta has also announced a second ONT-ATL roundtrip beginning June 17. The ONT-ATL route is served with Boeing 737-800/900 aircraft.

“We’re thrilled that our customers now can enjoy direct service to Atlanta, giving us another important nonstop destination on the East Coast,” said Mark Thorpe, Chief Executive Officer of the Ontario International Airport Authority (OIAA).

“We thank Delta for helping to make ONT the fastestgrowing airport in the U.S.” See table for current schedule of the new service.

Delta, which is located in ONT’s Terminal 2, currently flies to Salt Lake City from Ontario three times a day.

Atlanta travelers will experience the recently completed multimillion-dollar upgrade of its dining and retail concessions featuring popular national brands and Southern California-based enterprises which cater to local tastes.

Passengers can also access the Escape Lounge in Terminal 2, a premium lounge which began welcoming guests in January. Also, app-based ride-hailing services including Uber and Lyft were added to ONT’s ground transportation program last year.

that Islamic State may have inspired local Muslims and acquired “a jihadist mindset,” following “incitement” of anti-Muslim sentiments and riots by Buddhist politicians.

“There is a perception that Muslims are under threat,

especially in eastern Sri Lanka, where they are an insignificant minority,” he said.

Analyst Brahma Chellaney pointed out that Indianbased Islamist group Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath may be behind the attack.

It includes jihadist returnees from Syria, he said, and will “underscore the rise of a potent new terrorism challenge” for Sri Lanka, if evidence emerges of a connection with Sunday’s blasts.

Sri Lanka Update Continued from Page 1

Three police officers were killed during a raid on a house following the blasts, the officials said.

Sri Lankan police alerted top officials to the activities of Islamist extremists in Colombo 10 days before the attacks.

A curfew has been imposed from 6 pm to 6 am, starting from April 22.

The government blocked access to Facebook and WhatsApp, urging everyone not to spread misinformation about the tragedy.

The death toll, meanwhile, had climbed from several dozen to 207 people, and around 450 people have been injured, according to police.

The attack claimed the lives of 35 foreigners, most of whom are believed to have been killed in hotels.

So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the blasts.

Tamil Tigers or

Syria returnees?

An expert on conflict resolution, Zubair Ghauri told the press that the pattern of the attacks resembles that of certain jihadist groups, like Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) and Al-Qaeda, rather than Tamil insurgency group, the LTTE, also known as the Tamil Tigers, which waged a long bloody war against the government from 1983 to 2009.

The analyst noted that the tactics used on Sunday bear a close resemblance to the 2008 Mumbai attacks in India, in which several groups of Islamists launched a coordinated assault on hotels, cafes and a hospital.

Speaking to the press, professor at the Jindal School of International Affairs, Sreeram Chaulia, agreed it is unlikely that the Tamil insurgents would target Christian churches in the east of the country, considering that some Tamils are Christians themselves. Chaulia suggested

HOROSCOPES ARIES

Past abilities and gifts emerge in your daily life. There are many and they are good.

Wounds go into hiding for a while. Tend with mindfulness to all daily tasks especially if traveling. Responsibilities increase. Love increases too. Find Taurus people.

Communicate with them.

They comfort you. Be prudent with money while also tithing and sharing.

TAURUS In these present times, as the reorientation of humanity and our economy continues, when our world and how we live may one day slow to a halt and much that we are used to isn’t available anymore, you tell us why and how and what to prepare for life on the edge, life without comforts, and still maintain the Art of Living. It’s time to gather materials for a greenhouse.

Old wood framed glass doors and windows will do.

GEMINI So many responsibilities call you. And whatever does, no matter when, you must do your very focused best to tend with care and mindfulness.

Two directions imply an opposition, which creates much resistance at first. Later, acceptance comes and a blending of the many. Your intuition is active, wanting to bring forth synthesis. Ask for more information and ask for all that you need.

APRIL 24 – 30, 2019 ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST BY RISA D’ANGELES

Then wait for the subtle quiet answers in response.

CANCER Many of us are experiencing inflammation and pain.

Especially in the knees (Saturn, south node, Pluto in Capricorn). Turmeric is an antiinflammatory. Preparing East Indian (or ayurvedic) foods are best for healing and digestion.

Indian spices have health benefits: turmeric is antiinflammatory, as is coriander (it also contains magnesium); cayenne and black pepper for warmth; cumin aids in digestion; chilis have Vitamin C. Dry roast the spices then add ghee (clarified butter).

These are nurturing Capricorn/ Saturn health tips. Capricorn is your opposite sign.

LEO Tending to self is your Easter season task. Is there contact, communication and emotional support with and from family?

Are many things from the past remaining behind the scenes and hidden away? You can no longer stay hidden. Leo is the light of life for others. Leo is to discover their creative loving self, like a found object of self. We are to discover that we are each an art form.

Leo is to discover this first.

VIRGO Focus on serving others and not on anything else.

Sometimes it’s hard to do our work with concentration and dedication. However, if

we have an intention to do something in a certain way, like focusing on our intention to serve, then it becomes easier. What you receive by doing this is a clear and grounded sense of self. The wound that’s always hurting will slowly dissolve. Clarity of vision and purpose then emerge. You need all of these.

LIBRA In daily life you’ve become prudent, disciplined, focused, reliable, industrious, serious, reserved, patient and persevering. You’ve assumed more and more responsibilities.

Some Librans have stepped into a healing role. Are you however, the one in need of healing? Do not allow any type of insecurity or inhibitions to limit you. Think these through.

Be only with those who care for, love, support and see you as perfect. Mother always said you were (perfect).

SCORPIO There’s a new state of creativity flowing through you. Music, very important at this time, must be in your environments at all times.

Travel, study, things cultural, sculpting, hiking, archery, horse tending and/or riding are past abilities, talents and gifts you can again cultivate. Tend to mundane tasks carefully and honor the details. Blessings create new and deeper awareness and responses.

SAGITTARIUS

Home, for so long in a state of here and not here, now assumes a more defined reality. Bring in bright colors - plants, vines, cactus, aquariums, Tibetan art, lights and a flash of neon.

They create the style you seek. Home is your sangha (refuge), sanctuary and retreat. Try not to be at odds with anyone. Tend to all tasks with constancy and loving care. You are to expand into a new identity, growth and development.

CAPRICORN The tension and pressure you’re feeling can be used creatively. Know that a self-transformation is slowly coming your way.

Cooperation is available from everyone. Teaching others to cooperate nurtures them and you. Everyone sees you as someone of great value, providing you with the courage needed that transforms all situations. You answer to needs. You are the harmony after the conflict.

All that you do is good.

what you see. A new world is coming. You will play a major part in its establishment.

PISCES Is your daily life feeling somewhat shrouded in a mist?

Can you assess your present daily needs and priorities?

You want to be practical while initiating new goals.

Relationships are expanding.

How will this affect your life?

Do you think about serving others? Serving is a Virgo task, your hidden sign. The Tibetan says, “Out of duty, perfectly performed, will emerge those larger duties which we call world work.” Always the world calls to you. Always you respond with grace.

AQUARIUS It’s important to secure your money and not use it indiscriminately. It’s also important to share it with those in need. Your money should be used to safeguard your future, work and family.

Invest with others in land, consider what it would take to build an agrarian community.

Assess the world situation and be the first to communicate

Hug More, Stress Less

By Desert Star Staff Whether circumstances are good or bad, exciting or stressful, there are several simple ways to improve emotional and mental fitness.

As one example, sharing a hug with a loved one has been found to boost immune system responses, help fight disease and increase overall health, according to an article published by “The Guardian.”

Hugs increase serotonin, which is the body’s natural antidepressant, can be a natural sleep aid and help reduce stress and anxiety.

However, according to the article, hugs are on the decline. Among the reasons for this decline in hugging are busy schedules and the prevalence of technology extending the workday into time spent at home.

It can be hard to focus on personal connections when work follows you home in your pocket. At times, it seems there are stronger

connections to mobile devices than family members sitting in the same room.

There is a simple solution, though. In honor of National Hug Day, you can get back to showing love through the simple act of hugging.

With the help of its mascot, Seymore Good, Tree Top encourages everyone to “squeeze the day” and acknowledge goodness in others by sharing a meaningful, honest hug.

The grower-owned fruit cooperative that uses simple ingredients and real fruit also introduced innovative clear apple sauce pouches that let parents “See the Good” in what their kids are eating before they eat it.

In the spirit of reducing stress and giving meaningful, memorable hugs, consider these tips: Keep it real. Avoid superficial hugs or giving a hug just out of habit.

Instead, try focusing on

Photo courtesy of Getty Images the hug and giving it with purpose, as an expression of friendship. Squeeze hard, but not too hard.

Take a breath. Once you are in the hug, pause for a moment and breathe. Just one breath. This is where you have the chance to squeeze a little longer. Go ahead and April 24, 2019

be a little vulnerable. In the moment, remember who you are hugging and why you are hugging him or her. This is a moment when the healing power of the hug can shine through, and a hug or squeeze is a sign of affection and trust.

Let it go. Be sensitive to the movements of the person

you are hugging and be willing to be the first to let go. Leave the embrace with a smile on your face, even in the hardest moments of life. Always let the person you are letting go of know you are happy.

CVRep 10 Luminaries

Joe Giarrusso, Sid Craig, Ron Celona and Willie Rhine. Photo by Pat Krause

Story and Photos by Pat Krause The all-new CVRep held a magical evening of luminaries as a fundraiser on April 14th. It was a fun and exciting night to remember.

CVRep has purchased this new building and started renovations where they are now able to present plays on a newly built stage. The new curtains came in time for this gala night. CVRep was a Vstar studded event where 10 of its former luminaries graced the stage in an informal setting.

Patrick Evans was the emcee and said he was so nervous as he felt he was in

over his head to be able to interview and introduce these iconic actors and actresses.

This gala played to a soldout house. This was an exciting, unscripted and unrehearsed with unpredictable banter and singing. The ten luminaries sang, played the clarinet, told jokes and spoke about their careers with little known stories of their lives.

The ten luminaries were Lucie Arnaz who is a singer, actress, producer and the daughter of Lucy and Desi Arnaz. Her husband Larry Luckinbill joined her on stage and read a chapter of

Tom Troupe, Larry Luckinbill, Joyce Bulifant, Hal Linden, Carole Cook, Lucie Arnaz, Nancy Dussault, Founder-Ron Celona, Gavin MacLeod, Musical Director,-Wayne Abravanel and Willie Rhine. Photo by Pat Krause

his new biography that he has been working on for a couple of years. Everyone wanted to buy his book after that reading, so funny.

Joyce Bulifant, best known for her TV, roles, sang a specially written song.

The very Funny Carole Cook did a short Comedic routine, her husband, Tom Troupe, accompanied Cook. I remembered him in TV’s, Devils Brigade and Kelly’s Heroes.

Nancy Dussault has lit up many stages with her humor and beautiful voice.

Alex Korey has her unique

renditions of comedic songs and treated the audience to one of them. Actor Hal Linden is best known for his role on the Barney Miller sitcom but started on Broadway singing. He also took out his clarinet and played a tune for the guests.

Gavin Macleod is best known for his role as Captian Stubing on The Love Boat series. Millicent Martin is a well-known actress on TV and recently got a lifetime achievement award. Most of these ten luminaries were awards winners in one way or another in their careers.

The banter on stage between all of them led to some funny moments. They were all asked what they were the proudest of and again their answers led to incites into their personal lives. After the show, there was a Meet the Stars reception in the lobby.

Willie Rhine’s EIGHT4NINE restaurant provided cocktails and Appetizers. A great evening to raise money for CVRep and all it has to offer the Coachella Valley. Watch for new and exciting plays.

a l l e M h u c s a o C

By Robert Kinsler The 20th anniversary edition of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival offered up an incredible experience over Weekend 2 (April 1921) at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. Event-goers were completely immersed in a world of stellar music with dozens of groundbreaking artists performing each day of the fest. Larger-than-life artwork provided a colorful and dramatic backdrop to the experience.

Those attendees who only arrive at Coachella late in the afternoon miss some of the incredible upand-coming artists who perform. This writer tried to soak in as many complete performances as possible.

Here is a chronological run through my favorite sets of a magical Coachellafest weekend.

The British duo known as Let’s Eat Grandma has an interesting name to be sure.

In addition, long-time musical pals Jenny Hollingworth and Rosa Walton were able to unleash the musical magic and muscle to match their curious moniker with a spellbinding 40-minute set in the Gobi tent on Friday afternoon. Both have winning soprano voices that work alone or when joining forces with harmonies. While mostly using their twin Novation electronic keyboards, both showed off skills with different instruments and even the use of choreographed hand claps and a recorder on the ambitious art damage opus “Donnie Darko.”

Turning things on a dime in the same concert space was Hurray for the Riff Raff, a terrific Americana-meetsLatin rock band headed by arresting singer-songwriter Alynda Segarra. The New Orleans-based group’s inspired and energetic approach was bolstered by memorable songcraft, Jordan Hyde’s tasty lead guitar work and Segarra’s passionate vocals. The band’s 40-minute set was filled with songs tackling hot topics with equal parts protest and hope including “The Navigator,” “Rican Beach” (“First they stole our language / then they stole our names” Segarra sings) and the wonderful closer “Pa’lante” (Spanish for the idea “to move forward”).

Brooklyn, New York rock quartet Beach Fossils attracted a huge crowd to the Gobi with their mix of dream pop, melodic rock and lo-fi atmospheric soundscapes. Standouts

The POSTed Studio included “TRASHed: Art of Recycling,” a colorful area that includes dozens of redesigned recycling bins by artists. included the faraway “Sugar,” driving New Order-minded “What a Pleasure,” shoegaze gem “Sleep Apnea” and otherworldly sortie “May 1st.”

Kacey Musgraves brought her multi-Grammy winning album”Golden Hour” to the Coachella Stage for a fastmoving 50-minute set weighted mostly from that already-classic 2018 disc. Musgraves opened with the acoustic-styled “Slow Burn” (track one on “Golden Hour”) before turning things up a notch via the uptempo sheen of “Wonder Woman.”

Looking around at the massive crowd during her performance there was a palpable sense of Musgraves’ authentic style and burgeoning star power.

One young Coachella-goer I saw was in tears for much of the set, clearly moved by the singer’s brand of modern country. Musgraves’ signature vocals soared in the expansive late afternoon, with the wistful “Lonely Weekend,” the tender “Rainbow,” bona fide country favorite “Family Is Family” (from her “Pageant Material” LP) and super-catchy set closing “High Horse.”

What fun The Frights offered up a blistering turn inside the colorfully-decorated Sonora tent, including the use

of large balloon arrangements cast into the air to enhance the cool atmosphere. From the time the Poway, Californiaspawned punk rockers took the stage with “Crutch,” fans were moving (some clearly enjoying the mosh pit and even a few brave souls stage diving later on) in time with the hardedged punk rock. Another highlight was the irreverent “Whatever,” with the four member band clearly having a ball at the high-profile gig.

Manchester, England’s The 1975 lit up the main Coachella Stage with dance-minded electropop brew including the uptempo opener “Give Yourself a Try,” slower “I Like America & America Likes Me,” and monster indie rock dance cut “Chocolate.”

Saturday brought another slew of standout performances, beginning with Los Angelesbased Wallows. The emerging melodic rock outfit proved to be the perfect outfit to welcome the day, recalling all that is great about power-pop, indie rock and the ‘80s strains of the Psychedelic Underground via great originals like “Ice Cold Pool,” “Are You Bored Yet?” and “I’m Full.” Singerguitarists Dylan Minnette and Braeden Lemasters give

Wallows an obvious onetwo punch; the group’s official full-length debut “Nothing Happens” was released by Atlantic Records in late March.

New Jersey’s A R I Z O N A were many more times as powerful when I was positioned in front of the Coachella stage in person than when I had caught the quartet on Weekend 1 via the YouTube live-stream. One of the most exciting discoveries I’ve made courtesy of Coachella 2019, the band tore it up across 40 minutes; lead singer Zachary Charles, guitarist Nate Esquite and keyboardist David Labuguen (assisted by a touring drummer) were on fire throughout. So many highlights: the anthemic “Find Someone,” R&B/pop brew “Electric Touch” and blistering “Let Me Touch Your Fire,” the latter which included Esquite smashing one of his guitars on the stage. The finale was a beautiful take on “Cross My Mind,” one of the single best moments at Weekend 2 of Coachella 2019.

5 Tips for New Pet Parents

By Desert Star Staff Introducing a new dog to the family can bring plenty of excitement, sweet snuggles and puppy kisses. However, there are also plenty of practical steps to consider to successfully transition a pup into its new environment.

Whether you’re a seasoned pet owner or a firsttime puppy parent, these tips can help your newest family member feel right at home: Purchase the necessities ahead of time.

Similar to newborns, new pets require products that fit their size, age and life stage to ensure their safety and good health. This includes chew-proof food and water bowls, an ID tag with name and contact information and a sturdy leash for both walks and training. Many experts discourage retractable leashes because they offer little control. For puppies specifically, some veterinarians recommend harnesses to attach a leash to because their necks are too fragile to attach a leash to a collar.

Remember, puppies are going to grow, and items like beds, crates and collars will need to grow as they do, so you may want to hold off on investing in pricier options until they’ve matured.

Offer high-quality food that provides balanced nutrition. Feed new pets the best quality food possible because an investment in your pet’s food is an investment in its health and longevity.

“Quality is a top priority when new pet parents are selecting food, so reading ingredient labels and understanding what nutrients are important for your pet at his or her life stage is key,” said Dr. Jennifer Adolphe, Ph.D., R.D., nutrition manager at Petcurean. “Better quality food will usually equate to fewer vet visits overall. The same goes for treats.”

An option like Petcurean’s Now Fresh wet food features novel textures like shredded, stews and pates and is made with 100 percent fresh meats and bone broth gravy, which adds a meaty flavor. All recipes are 100 percent grain- and glutenfree and non-GMO, making for a perfect treat, topper or complete and balanced meal.

Have enough playthings around the house. Keep dogs from destroying furniture, shoes and household items by providing them with fun, safe and entertaining toys. Chew toys and puzzles that combine play and treats are interactive, which can give dogs mental stimulation and help keep them out of mischief.

Pet-proof the house.

Dogs are naturally curious and spend time exploring their homes, especially pets eager to get to know their

12

DesertSTAR

new environment. Items on counters and shelves that could be dangerous to a small child are also dangerous for dogs, including wires, sharp or small objects and fragile items.

Store them up and away from your dog or in locked cabinets for safekeeping.

Provide a safe spot to retreat. Moving in to a new home can cause a pet to feel a little disoriented and overwhelmed. Providing a safe place for the dog to retreat from enthusiastic kids, other pets and general household commotion can help the pup feel calmer. A crate or kennel lined with a soft pad or blanket in a quiet area of your home is typically a good choice – it’s a confined space and can also serve a dual-purpose with housetraining, if needed.

Earth Day: Oceans Becoming ‘Plastic Soup’

According to some estimates, oceans could contain more plastics than fish by 2050. (Jill Clardy/ Adobe Stock)

By Desert Star Staff SEATTLE – It’s Earth Day, and one manufactured menace threatening the world’s oceans is plastics.

While estimates vary, many scientific studies find that about 8 million metric

tons of plastic make their way into the ocean each year.

Michiel Abbing, author of the book “Plastic Soup,” is a member of an organization of the same name, which derives from the giant garbage patch found in the

By Desert Star Staff SANTA BARBARA, Calif.

— Just in time for Earth Day today, the environmental group Oceana is calling for a halt to the Trump administration’s moves to radically expand offshore oil and gas drilling and roll back safety measures.

Their new report, “Dirty Drilling,” found the risk of another catastrophic oil spill is growing because any day now, the administration is expected to finalize its proposal to open up 98 percent of federal waters to oil leases. Oceana campaign director Diane Hoskins noted the feds had proposed four lease sales in California, starting next year.

“We shouldn’t be expanding dirty and dangerous drilling when there is overwhelming bipartisan opposition from those that have the most to lose,” Hoskins said. “Instead, we

should be implementing safety reforms, not rolling back the too-few safety measures that are already in place.”

A 90-day public comment period will commence once the final offshore drilling proposal is released. Hoskins said the administration already had finalized plans to weaken the productionsystems safety rule but still is considering changes to the well-control rule.

President Donald Trump has defended his policy, saying the U.S. should make use of its natural resources to ensure energy independence in the future.

The report also claims the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement is too friendly to oil and gas companies. Hoskins said, besides, the feds are relying on safety standards written by the industry itself.

“The agency is regularly granting exemptions from

Pacific Ocean in 1997.

The foundation began fighting to keep plastics out of the ocean eight years ago, and Abbing says the issue has continued unabated.

“Since 2011, awareness has risen a lot,” he states. “A

lot of NGOs, politicians, and organizations are involved but, despite that fact, it seems to worsen instead of improving the situation.”

Abbing notes that the fracking boom in the United States is pushing more petroleum into the market, which is a source of plastics.

Since the Plastic Soup Foundation began its mission, more has been discovered about the material’s prevalence.

Last week, a study found microplastics have been “raining down” on a secluded area of France, 75 miles from the nearest town.

Research still is investigating the health effects of plastic on humans, but its harmful traces are welldocumented, including on plankton and sea turtles.

Over the last month, whales have washed up on the shores of Italy and the Philippines with pounds of undigestible

plastic in their stomachs.

Abbing says the simple solution is that we must reduce our production of plastics and adds that everyone has a role to play.

“We are all responsible for this, not only the consumers that buy plastic and throw it away but also the producers and the politicians,” he states. “We created the mess, and we should solve the mess together.”

The Plastic Soup Foundation has launched initiatives encouraging people to reduce their use of plastics, replacing them with reusable bags, cups, and other utensils.

It also notes that synthetic fibers in clothing are a significant source of plastic that gets into the ocean while washing clothes.

The Ocean Clean Wash initiative suggests folks use liquid soap and fabric softener and wash at a low temperature.

This Earth Day, Conservation Groups Decry Offshore-Drilling Expansion

Offshore-drilling lease sales for California could start next year, first off of Southern California, then off the central and northern coast. (BOEM) offshore-drilling safety requirements,” she said.

“Essentially, BSEE is relinquishing its independence, blurring the lines between the regulator and the regulated.”

Sunday was the ninth anniversary of the catastrophic Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. There hasn’t been an offshore lease sale in federal waters off of

California since 1984, or state waters since the sixties.

Santa Barbara suffered a major oil spill in 1969, and a smaller one in 2015.

Vigilante Accused of Holding Migrants at Border to Appear in Court

By Desert Star Staff ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A New Mexico man the FBI says was part of a rightwing militia group stopping migrant families at the border will appear in a Las Cruces courtroom today following his arrest on Saturday.

The man was a member of the United Constitutional Patriots, an armed group that has been holding migrants before handing them over to Border Patrol agents.

The group has argued it

DesertSTAR

has the right to make citizen arrests. But Peter Simonson, executive director of the ACLU of New Mexico, said he believes the group is fueling tensions and raising questions about who is in charge of enforcing the country’s laws.

“We don’t put law enforcement in the hands of private, heavily armed citizens,” Simonson said.

“And the minute we decide to leave the law to be handled by vigilantes like these, then vigilante

justice is what we’ll get.”

According to the FBI, the man arrested was 69-yearold Larry Mitchell Hopkins of Flora Vista. He is accused of being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition.

Last week, federal authorities warned private groups against policing the border after social media videos showed armed civilians detaining large groups of Central American families in New Mexico.

The videos also showed members of the citizens’ April 24, 2019

group ordering families, including children and toddlers, to sit on the ground and wait until Border Patrol agents arrived. In a statement, Customs and Border Protection said it “does not endorse or condone private groups or organizations that take enforcement matters into their own hands.”

After seeing the videos, Simonson said, the ACLU called on the New Mexico governor and attorney general to investigate the group.

“If nothing else, the military uniforms that they’re wearing, the weapons that they’re carrying, and a number of them have badges on,” Simonson said, “so impersonating a federal officer is a real consideration here.”

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham ordered the vigilante group to stand down, saying migrant families should not be menaced or threatened by citizens acting in an unofficial capacity. www.desertstarweekly.com

Capturing the spirit of the weekend was the hard-edged “Take Back the Power,” with lead singer Aimee Interrupter noting the song is both a song of protest and a call for unity. The band also tore through great songs like “Title Holder,” “Gave You Everything,” “Family” and setending “She’s Kerosene.”

Vancouver, Canada-based duo Bob Moses (featuring Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance) conjured up a mix of dream pop, electronica and alternative music during an immersive appearance on the Outdoor Theatre stage.

The swirling intro “Heaven Only Knows,” alt rock dance groove that played out via “Talk,” textured “Like It or Not” and dance-heavy “Enough to Believe” were among the tracks that hit the mark.

The good news is I was able to catch Mansionair thrill listeners with a shimmering style of guitar- and keyboards-layered synthpop-rock.

Stay Safe on the Road this Summer

Photo courtesy of Getty Images

By Desert Star Staff When it comes to staying safe on the roads – whether you’re traveling cross-country or just across town – routinely checking the condition of

your tires can be imperative.

While variables like road and weather conditions can also impact safety, it’s important to remember your tires are the only thing between your

vehicle and the road.

During the summer months, high heat and hot roadways combined with normal rolling, turning and braking contribute to potential safety hazards, particularly on worn or improperly inflated tires. Before you hit the road this summer, consider these tips from the experts at your neighborhood America’s Tire store to help keep you safe.

1. Check your tread.

Tread depth refers to the amount of sufficient tread on a tire, which impacts handling, traction and your vehicle’s safe stopping distance. As tires wear and tread depth is reduced, their ability to perform in adverse conditions such as rain can be compromised. While most new cars start with 11/32 inch tread, you can use the penny test to check your tread depth at home by sticking a penny upside-down in a tread groove. If Lincoln’s entire head is visible, your tread is worn beyond what tire experts recommend as safe – less than 4/32 inch – and it’s time to replace your tires.

2. Accurately measure pressure. Low tire pressure

can lead to poor handling and gas mileage, excessive wear and the possibility of tire failure. Remember to check your tire pressure at least once a month, especially before any long-distance trips, as the impacts of bumps and turns from everyday use can lead to normal air loss. For the most accurate reading, check your tires when the car is cool as driving can heat up the tires and lead to an inaccurate reading. You can find the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure on a sticker in your car’s door jamb or in your owner’s manual. If you need assistance, look for a store like America’s Tire, which offers complimentary air checks and tire safety inspections.

3. Rotate often. Tires wear differently depending on their location on the vehicle.

Routinely rotating your tires spreads wear evenly, which helps maximize their handling, traction and stopping capabilities. To increase longevity and keep your ride as smooth as possible, rotate your tires every 6,000 miles or earlier if irregular or uneven wear develops.

4. Inspect your trunk.

Some newer vehicles now include tire inflation kits complete with puncturecoating sealants and air compressors, or run-flat tires that allow for continued driving with no air pressure for a short period of time rather than a traditional spare tire. Check your trunk to see what your vehicle contains and make sure you have a roadside assistance plan in case of emergency.

5. Avoid overloading.

Overloading your vehicle can have a similar impact on your tires as driving on underinflated tires. The combination of warm roads and overloading, which is common during summer travel season, can lead to your tires potentially overheating and failing. Before loading your car, check the manufacturer’s loading recommendation, which can be found in the owner’s manual or on the door jamb sticker.

By Desert Star Staff The armed volunteer militia group, which has recently drawn much criticism and little praise for catching hundreds of suspected illegal migrants in New Mexico, has been abruptly cut from crowdfunding sites, for promoting violence.

Members of United Constitutional Patriots (UCP), a small New Mexico people’s militia, gained notoriety this week after detaining around 300 migrants who crossed the US border with Mexico illegally. Video of their ‘Border Ops mission’ showed militia members armed with semiautomatic rifles rounding up a big crowd of people, including women and children.

While some praised the group for their commitment to seal the US border, the militia’s harsh tactics have come under heavy criticism and were slammed by New Mexico Governor and the American Civil Liberties Union. The growing public outrage prompted PayPal and GoFundMe to shut down the group’s accounts.

“We can no longer accept payments thru PAYPAL, they have permanently suspended our account,” UCP announced on Facebook after the online payment service accused the vigilantes of supporting “hate, violence, or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory.” CPU’s Twitter

account also appears to have been taken offline.

They killed us,” Mark Cheney, who described himself as commander of United Constitutional Patriots, told BuzzFeed. GoFundMe and Twitter have yet to comment on the issue.

Cheney, meanwhile, has set up another PayPal fund campaign to raise funds for those Citizen Patriot members who might need assistance with “legal issues,” after the group’s leader Larry Mitchell Hopkins was detained by FBI agents on Saturday, on charges of possessing weapons illegally.

Potent Winning Drama “The Niceties” On Stage At Geffen Playhouse

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Member American Theatre Critics Association It’s not quite the Lincoln/Douglas debates subject matter, but it’s probably more important in 21st century America when it comes to America’s “original sin and shame” of slavery. It’s been one hundred and fiftyfour years since the U.S. Civil War ended and fifty-five years since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 codified and rectified the equality question for all citizens.

Yet the subject matter of racism and discrimination still festers in our society when it touches the hot button issue of white privilege and equal opportunity. Arguably, there is no more important issue facing our society today when it comes to internal and social issues.

“The Niceties,” a sharp, intelligently written drama by playwright Eleanor Burgess that is smartly and seamlessly directed by seasoned director Kimberly Senior, is currently on stage at the Geffen Playhouse, in Los Angeles.

Two-hander plays are talky, yes, but this production transcends any trace of boredom or disengagement, thanks to a mesmerizing stunning performance from relative newcomer, 22-year-old Jordan Boatman, who electrifies the audience with a finely judged performance as Zoe Reed, a gifted, young, articulate, black university student.

Award-winning stage and TV/film actor Lisa Banes, plays Janine Bosko, Zoe’s white professor, and mentor/advisor, delivering a highly nuanced and polished performance worthy of an Ovation nomination come award season.

Set in 2016, the drama centers around Zoe (Boatman) a young black student at a liberal arts college who is called into her white professor’s (Banes)

office to discuss her paper about slavery’s effect on the American Revolution. What begins as a polite clash in perspectives in age and place explodes into an urgent debate about race.

Playwright Burgess, got the idea for this provocative, and timely piece, as a result of a Yale University (her alma mater) campus protest by students over free speech issues. Burgess moved the unrest from the campus into the office of Professor Bosko where reason and intelligent discussion would take place.

In the beginning of the first act, I thought we were going down the road listening to echoes of David Mamets’s blistering piece “Oleanna” about sexual harassment in academia. But, fortunately, this intellectual think piece on race and discrimination transcends the tawdry salaciousness of tabloid journalism, ala the NY Post or London’s News of the World newspapers (although it’s difficult to avoid it today).

We’re not living in our grandparent’s society anymore.

The world is constantly evolving and the passage of time is what fuels the differences between Zoe and Professor Bosko. Every younger generation has always been passionate about issues that still remain unaddressed in our democracy-based society.

Yes, progressive students and young adults believe they are immortal and are going to live forever, but that doesn’t dissuade them from trying to make their elders see the world through their eyes and experiences in the here and now.

Only by walking a mile or two in someone else’s sandal’s can real change begin to take place.

Playwright Burgess is a fresh and vital voice into exploring these thorny issues that have been plaguing the world’s societies for hundreds of years.

Slavery, after all, is a pre-biblical anathema that has been roiling both black and white American society for 400 years. It’s been

The exchanges in “The Niceties” between the older and experienced professor and her young, whip-smart budding activist-in-waiting, is fascinating to watch. One cannot help but be drawn into their yin and yang tussle as each tries to have their position win the other over.

Also, it’s a bonus to become a fly on the wall of Bosko’s office, so to speak, during these exchanges. It’s good stuff.

The on-stage chemistry between Ms. Banes and Ms. Boatman is absolutely palpable and riveting in its execution.

They created the roles of Zoe and Professor Bosko, under the direction of Ms. Senior in The Huntingdon Theatre Company production in 2015. And they haven’t missed a beat in the transfer. If anything, their exceptional “pas de deux”

performances are enriched with time. Of course, we’ve had many stories staged and filmed over the years, all providing or making a case for why society moves so slowly to embrace change when it comes to race and discrimination.

What Ms. Burgess and Ms. Senior bring to “The Niceties” table, is for her actors to ingest and then deliver, her devilishly clever dialogue in scenes that are, at times, raw, compelling, and rich in insightful emotions.

It’s her well-balanced script that keep the audience fully engaged right from the getgo to its ambiguous ending.

Good writing elevates and inspires everyone in a production including the audience. Although the play is powerful in its subject matter (one millennial white male patron stormed out from the

first row in the first act the night I attended), Ms. Burgess wisely leavens her potent drama with a tad of light comedy every now and then which is cleverly tossed in for good measure.

In the technical department the creative team led by director Senior includes: An intriguing and striking set design by Cameron Anderson with Lights designed by D.M. Wood that provides just the right amount of light to see and appreciate the costume designs and choices of designer Kara Harmon and Elisheba Ittoop, provides the Original Music & Sound Design, that completes the creative team. The production is stage managed by Ross Jackson.

“The Niceties,” is an impressive production that performs at the Geffen Playhouse and runs through May 12, 2019.
