Sculpture Puts Down Roots

PALM DESERT – The City of Palm Desert proudly announces the debut of a new sculpture now on display as part of its Art in Public Places Program. Motorists and pedestrians traveling along Fred Waring Drive can see the new sculpture, “Steelroots” by Steve Tobin, which was recently installed near the northwest corner of Fred Waring and San Pascual Avenue. Apropos of its name, the tall, twining, bone white sculpture appears to have taken root in the desert earth along with the bougainvillea and lantana that surround it. Temporarily on loan to the city from the artist and Melissa Morgan Fine Art in Palm Desert, the sculpture was created in 2007. It is part of a series of root-inspired sculptures by Tobin, who cites nature as his earliest influence and one that continues to inform his work. His work has been shown internationally at a variety of prestigious venues including the American Museum of Natural History; the Page Museum/La Brea Tar Pits and Los Angeles County

“Steelroots” by Steve Tobin on display in Palm Desert Museum of Natural History; Carpe Diem Gallery, Paris; Retretti Art Center, Finland; and Moore College of Art and Design, Philadelphia. It is also in the permanent collections of the American Craft Museum;

Philadelphia Museum of Art; and Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Switzerland, among others. For information, call 760-3460611, ext. 664 or 207-667-0733 ext 11.

$10.3 Million Groundwater Plan Breaks Ground

DESERT HOT SPRINGS — Mission Springs Water District will break ground on a $10.3 million groundwater protection project on Feb. 20. The groundbreaking will occur at the north-east corner of Caliente Road and Ironwood Drive in Desert Hot Springs at 10 a.m. Confirmed attendees include: Congressman Raul Ruiz, Assembly Member V. Manuel Perez, Riverside County Supervisor John Benoit, Desert Hot Springs Mayor Yvonne Parks, MSWD Board president Russ Martin. MSWD Board president Russ Martin The project is the largest phase to date of the district’s city-wide Groundwater Preservation Project. The project will include installation of 59,000 linear feet of sewer lines, 41,000 feet of laterals, replacement of streets and will facilitate abatement of more than 1,400 septic tanks which overlie MSWD’s award–winning groundwater. Project funding was awarded through the State Water Resources Control Board State Revolving Fund and includes about $5.15 million in property assessment-backed low interest loans and $5.15 million in “principal forgiveness,” which is the equivalent of a grant. The $10.3 million marks the largest phase to date of the district’s ongoing efforts to protect groundwater through construction of sanitary sewers and abatement of septic tanks since the 2004 approval of Assessment District 12 by the property owners in the region.

STAROp-Ed Much Ado About Nothing By Jackie Devereaux Here we go again. An anonymous Desert Hot Springs civic leader or his cohorts, who choose to hide their identity, are slamming the city by launching unwarranted and baseless allegations against City Manager Rick Daniels, Mayor Yvonne Parks, Mayor Pro Tem Jan Pye and Councilmen Scott Matas with the Riverside District Attorney’s Office charging allegations against the Brown Act. While the DA’s office is obligated to respond to any and all baseless charges by those who have their own political agenda, their response was clear. In a letter dated Feb. 13, 2012 sent by Chief Deputy District Attorney Vicki Hightower to the Honorable Members of the Desert Hot Springs City Council in care of City Attorney Steve Quintanilla, it clearly states the DA’s position in the last paragraph. It reads: “Although this office will not be taking action against city council members at this time, it is our expectation that all members of the city council will adhere to both the spirit and letter of the law as contained in the Brown Act.” What’s easy to comprehend is this. In my opinion, this latest attempt by the anonymous naysayer is just another attack to discredit the city and its manager. All this raises the question about whether or not these people truly have the city’s or the resident’s best interest at heart.

DHS City Manager’s Response to Allegations Regarding the Brown Act Some of you may have read or will read an online article about me that is on mydesert. com, entitled Rick Daniels May have violated the Brown Act. In the article they misread a recent weekly City Managers memo (attached) and imply that I have had improper meetings with a quorum of the City Council outside of public meetings. I want to assure you that is simply not true. I have been in and around local government for over 40 years. I know the rules and have never violated any meeting rules. Someone called the District Attorney’s Office and incorrectly informed them that a violation was occurring. The District Attorney issued a general letter (attached) noting that they received a request to investigate possible Brown Act violations regarding weekly meetings between city council members and the City Manager. The City Attorney has reviewed the matter and is quoted in the mydesert.com article saying, As city attorney and a proponent of transparency in government, I take such matters very seriously. After discussing this matter with the City Manager, I find there is no evidence that there has been any Brown Act violation. I plan to report my findings to the DA. Could my CM Memo been written better and clearer; of course? I may be guilty of sloppy sentence structure or grammar, but not of violating such a basic principle of open government. As you may know I meet somewhat regularly with three Councilors and irregularly

with two. Councilor Betts was in my office just this morning talking with Chief Singer and me about a community clean up. Councilor Sanchez was also in my office briefly this morning about the same item. Councilor Sanchez was in my office discussing the clean up last week and we met again on the matter on Thursday afternoon in the Council office. I am in regular phone contact with each Councilor on an as need basis pertaining to any matter of concern or responding to a question. I receive e-mails day and night and on weekends on City business.

Letters to the EDITOR

Occasionally, I will meet with both Mayor Parks and Councilor Pye, but not every week and not always together. I NEVER meet with more than two at one time EVER. There is NEVER a quorum of the Council in any meeting outside of a public meeting. There is no agenda for any meeting that I have with individual Councilors. There is no deliberation towards

February 20, 2013

concurrence on a matter of upcoming City business or towards efforts come to a decision, or to form a consensus. Individual Councilors may bring to me their questions or concerns from constituents, questions about projects and/or programs in the City in the region, or with adjacent communities. They individually may inquire about items that I noted in the weekly City Manager Memo or they may inquire about City finances generally. The topics are broad or very narrow and never the same from week to week or meeting to meeting. These conversations are normal practice between City Managers and Council members. I have coffee with Councilor Matas some weeks and the situation is the same. Sometimes he or Councilor Sanchez will bring a community member that is experiencing a particular problem with a barking dog, graffiti, emergency preparedness, feral cats, or a pothole. I take notes and refer the matter to the responsible Department Head. When the matter is resolved I so inform all of the Council of the item and the resolution. I understand the Brown Act and applaud its requirements for openness in government. Those of you that know me well know that I am committed to the highest standard of ethical conduct of the publics business and conduct myself accordingly. I will continue to do so. With so much to do in this City I am sorry that our valuable time gets absorbed by spurious, false and malicious allegations. –Rick Daniels DHS City Manager

Started in 2006 by the United States Congress, E n d a n ge re d Species Day is a celebration of the nation’s rarest plant and animal species. The Youth Art Contest provides students from kindergarten to high school with an opportunity to learn about threatened and endangered species and express their knowledge and support through artwork. Young artists who are home schooled and participate in youth groups are also eligible to submit their art. Previous winners have come from California, Minnesota, New Jersey, Louisiana and Alaska. All entries must be postmarked by March 15. This year, the Endangered Species Day Youth Art Contest finalists will be judged by a prestigious panel of artists, photographers and conservationists, including Wyland, renowned marine life artist; Jack Hanna, host of “Jack Hanna’s Into the Wild;” David Littschwager, a freelance photographer and regular contributor to National Geographic Magazine; Susan Middletown, a photographer who has collaborated with Littschwager and whose own work has been published in four books; and Alice Tangerini, botanical illustrator for the Smithsonian Institution. The International Child Art Foundation (ICAF) will select the 40 semifinalists from thousands of entries. It takes empathy, direct action and awareness to prevent the extinction of endangered species. Art can certainly play an important role. The Youth Art Contest is an ideal platform to engage the next generation. Winners will be chosen in four categories: K to grade 2, grades 3-5,

Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment By Ren Yogamaya BEVERLY HILL S - The audience is ready! So goes the statement or better known as the mantra of the Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment. GATE 3.0, the third annual event, was held at the historic Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills on Feb. 2. The audience was made up mostly from the entertainment industry with other groups in attendance filling the theatre’s 1,897 seats, not once but twice in one day. The daylong event was entitled, “Storycon,” short for “story conference” where more than 20 filmmakers, executives, producers and best-selling authors and others took to the stage to present their messages in an attempt to help “enlighten” and inspire Hollywood’s development executives, writers and other burgeoning artists. The evening event was more festive, still very informative and certainly entertaining with host comedienne, Louis Anderson, actor, Jim Carrey and several others providing the “in good spirit” fun. Founded by transformational marketing pioneer, John Raatz, international best-selling author/ teacher, Eckhart Tolle and actor/ activist, Jim Carrey, GATE, is a non-profit 501(c) (3) charitable organization and evolving community whose supporters realize the vital and expanding role media and entertainment play in creating our lives, and who aspire to consciously transform those domains for the benefit of all. GATE’s mission is to “Transform the World by Transforming Entertainment and Media.” Within GATE’s mission is a clear guideline: Education, Collaboration and Advocacy.

With all the new financial terms floating around in the media today, we felt the average citizen might be feeling a tad intimidated.

Called the “it” artist of the green movement, Jordan, a fine arts photographer who focuses on waste and mass consumption in often disturbing installations said: “When we feel the pain, it is grief of what we loved. Grief is love of loss.” Award-winning playwright, Hollywood screenwriter of “Touched by An Angel” and author, Catherine Ann Jones, had this message to share: “It is fashionable to talk about transformational media at the moment. Write! Urge someone to write what they would want to see (produced). Be original; writing is the best therapy and I’m committed to that.” And so am I, AUM, and so it is.

An element of the automatic $1.2 trillion in spending cuts that were a part of the last second Budget Control Act passed by Congress and signed by the President in August 2011. Last week it meant a new proposal from Democrats to reduce spending by $60 billion over the next 10 years. It would also increase revenues by $60 billion from placing a minimum 30 percent flat tax on top earners and closing some loopholes in the tax system. Spending cuts would primarily come from reductions to defense and farmer subsidies. A new sequester date of January 2, 2014 would now be put in place. No mention of reform for the two largest deficit behemoths Medicare (23 percent of spending) and Social Security (22 percent of all government spending).

One positive the USA has always had over the rest of the world was a stable political system. It seems we’re now losing that advantage along with so many others we had in the past. Our new dictionary will not include words like leadership, courage, discipline, humility, wisdom and many other similar terms. STUPID pointed out that these expressions are on the brink of extinction in the financial and political markets as it has been quite some time since any were sighted in the public forum.

rutan bros

Not since Orville and Wilbur Wright have there been two brothers who have contributed more to the growth of aviation technology than aerospace engineer-aircraft designer Burt Rutan and his record-breaking brother, pilot Dick Rutan. Therefore, it was only fitting that this year’s “Reach for the Stars” black-tie or dress-uniform gala, presented by the Palm Springs Air Museum, honored the two brothers as part of the museum’s year-long “Heroes Among Us” programs. One of the brothers’ greatest achievements occurred in the 1980’s, when they, along with Jeana Yeager, conceived and developed the Voyager around-the-world project, resulting in an aircraft known as “Voyager,” taking off from Edwards Air Force Base with Dick and Yeager aboard, and remaining aloft for nine days, three minutes and 44 seconds. It was the world’s first non-stop, un-refueled flight around the world. In the late 1990s Dick flew around the world again in a Rutandesigned aircraft and in 2005 he set a record for the longest distance flown in a ground-launched, rocketpowered aircraft. While Dick was going for horizontal distance records, Burt’s attention was focused on vertical distance, designing Space Ship One that in 2004 became the first privately funded, privately developed and privately piloted craft to make a flight into space and back. Truly, the Rutans are remarkable aviators, and the Palm Springs Air Museum provided the perfect backdrop for honoring their accomplishments. The museum contains one of the world’s largest collections of flying World War II military aircraft with an average of 29 vintage planes on display daily; all displayed within 70,000 square-feet of interior, pristine, temperature-controlled hangers. Benefiting from the event was the museum’s children outreach programs, raising more than $100,000 from individual donors, an amount matched by local philanthropic organization, The Berger Foundation.

American Airlines & US Airways

It’s arrived - the long-awaited announcement that Dallas-Ft. Worthbased American Airlines and Phoenixheadquartered U.S. Airways have agreed to merge, thereby creating one of the world’s largest airlines. The deal, still needing approval (expected) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, regulatory agencies and U.S. Airways shareholders is expected to be completed in the Fall of 2013. The combined airline will operate under the American Airlines name and, with the addition of more than 600 new mainline aircraft already on order, the airline will have one of the most modern and fuel efficient fleets in the industry. As might be expected, officials of the new American Airlines are heralding the enhanced customer experience that will be derived from the merger, such as: • Providing the most service across the East Coast and Central United States • Expanding the airline’s presence

in the Western United States • Bolstering the airline’s Latin American and Caribbean routes • Serving 21 destinations in Europe and the Middle East • Enhancing connectivity within the oneworld Alliance of air carriers • And, somewhere among their list of benefits to American Airlines, there is mention, however brief, of the merger increasing customer comfort While the merger was inevitable, there is no reason to expect that passengers will benefit from more legroom or less crowded flights. But, with the more than 6,700 daily flights to 336 destinations in 56 countries, there should be plenty of customer experiences about which to report. Now, if there was only someway

Airline ticket prices

Like Las Vegas odds; they are always changing. It’s only natural that travelers have devised theories to benefit from those changes. One of the most popular theories is that

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the best days on which to purchase airline tickets. (Remember, that’s “purchase,” but, not necessarily the cheapest days to travel). In a research study conducted by Steven Puller, associate professor of economics at Texas A&M University, not only did his systematic analysis fail to back up the Tuesday/ Wednesday hypothesis, his research found that the weekend is the best time to book airline tickets because airlines are more likely to discount fares on Saturdays and Sundays. In fact, Puller and researcher Lisa Taylor found that tickets purchased on the weekend were, on average, five percent cheaper than similar tickets purchased on weekdays. Of course, many other factors go into settling on a price, no matter how frequently any particular price may change. These factors include day-ofthe-week travel, the ticket conditions, how many days in advance a ticket was purchased, how full the flights were and a host of other variables. The researchers conducted the study by looking at a historical archive of actual tickets purchased on all major airlines, and tickets with similar characteristics rather than simply looking at the cheapest fair available. They also limited their study to round-trip flights with

mainly leisure destinations although there is an incentive for the airlines to lower fares on the weekend to try to entice the price-sensitive leisure traveler to buy a ticket. So, how do airlines know if a particular buyer is traveling for leisure or business? “They don’t,” Puller contends, “their playing the odds.” Just like the rest of us.

Artist: Steven Wilson

Title: “The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories)” (Snapper Music) You might be interested if you like: Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater. Tell me more: Like Peter Gabriel who carved out a stellar career with Genesis and on his subsequent solo art rock efforts, Steven Wilson has challenged music fans as leader of Porcupine Tree as well as with his artful solo efforts. His third solo album “The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories),” which is set for release on Feb. 25, 2013, finds the native of Hemel Hempstead, England continuing to unleash his distinctive brand of progressive rock in the service of ambitious original material. From blending ‘70s jazz fusion and prog rock on the frantic “The Holy Drinker” to the experimental genre-bending “The Pin Drop” and lush British folk-minded “The Watchmaker,” the six tracks are a collection of supernatural tales inspired by the likes of Edgar Allen Poe, Arthur Macken and M.A. Allen. The stunning release is available on standard audio CD, as well as a special Blu-ray version that includes the album and a 23-minute documentary. Information: www. kscopemusic.com/stevenwilson and www.stevenwilsonhq.com.

Tell me more: With the success of modern-day hard rock outfits such as Black Country Communion and Band of Skulls, the influence of pioneering British hard rock outfit band Deep Purple remains clear. So while fans wait for the release of the group’s next not-yettitled studio album (set for April 30, 2013), best to pick up the recent 2-disc release “Live in Paris 1975.” Recorded at Palais des Sports on April 17, 1975, the 11-track collection has been remastered and fully captures the glory of the band’s historic performance that ultimately proved to be their last concert with guitarist Ritchie Blackmore before he left the outfit to form Rainbow. Highlights on “Live in Paris 1975” include Blackmore, singer David Coverdale, bassistvocalist Glenn Hughes, keyboardist Jon Lord and drummer Ian Piace tearing through many of the band’s classics. “Smoke on the Water” begins with Blackmore offering up some slow blues guitar before

the band joins in while he kicks it up with some speedy guitar work before the iconic opening heavy metal riff comes in full force. “Highway Star” is similarly powerful, with the fast-paced rocker showcasing the impressive harmonies of Coverdale and Hughes, as well as the keyboard expertise of Lord and breathtaking speed that Blackmore displayed on the fretboard. Other standouts include a ferocious “Burn” and psychedelictinged “Space Truckin’.” The album also features a 1975 interview with Coverdale, Hughes and Piace as a bonus feature. “Live in Paris 1975” is available as a 2-disc CD or on digital download. Information: www.DeepPurple.com and www. eaglerockent.com.

Artist: Grant Langston

Title: Working Until I Die (MSG Records) You might be interested if you like: Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, The Flying Burrito Brothers. Tell me more: Anyone who laments the demise of authentic country music can take comfort that a burgeoning underground movement has emerged across Southern California with new talents playing honest and well-crafted music that has more in common with Johnny Cash, Gram Parsons and Buck Owens than Taylor Swift, The Band Perry and Rascal Flatts. On singer-songwriter Grant Langston’s new album “Working Until I Die” there are rollicking honky tonk tunes (“I Fall for it Every Time,” “Try Me”), alt country workouts (“Along for the Ride”), and sweet ballads (“She Don’t Have a Clue,” “Ain’t That Kind of Cowboy”) - all of it steeped in the West Coast-styled country of Langston’s own heroes. Produced by Paul Q. Kolderie (Pixies, Radiohead, Hole), “Working Until I Die” is even more impressive thanks to Langston’s top-notch vocals and excellent work on guitar, piano and mandolin.

Terry Fator at Fantasy Springs

Comedian Terry Fator

INDIO – Best known for his victory on “America’s Got Talent,” Terry Fator captured the hearts, and funny bones, of America in 2007 with his unique combination of celebrity impressions and unparalleled voice. On Saturday, Mar. 9, Fator will return to the Special Events Center Stage at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. March 2012 marked Fator’s three-year anniversary as a successful headliner on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. In November, Fator signed a new contract that will keep him at The Mirage Hotel & Casino through 2016. At Fantasy Springs, Fator will be joined by a stellar cast of puppets including Monty Carlo the lounge singer, Winston The Impersonating Turtle, cowboy Walter T. Airdale, Julius the soul singer, Vikki “The Cougar,” Wrex the crash test dummy and hip hop diva Berry Fabulous. Each character allows Fator to sing a different genre in an unbelievable manner, with performances ranging from Garth Brooks and Dean Martin to Aretha Franklin, Lady Gaga and more. Fator’s rise to fame from his time with a Texas-based cover band to his very own theatre at The Mirage Hotel & Casino was 32 years in the making. He first discovered his knack for impressions at the age of six, when he began performing Bill Cosby comedy

routines for his family and friends. As a young man, Fator sang lead vocals for Texas the Band, a group whose playlist ranged from Garth Brooks to Guns N’ Roses. A trip to Las Vegas in 2005 sparked Fator’s desire to become a big-name entertainer and he left with visions of billboards and bright lights, all donning his name. Unwilling to give up on his dreams, Fator was persuaded to audition for “America’s Got Talent” when he saw a ventriloquist from season one on the “The Late Show with David Letterman.” During his audition, Fator stunned the judges with his puppet Emma Taylor and her impression of Etta James. In the final episode, a stunning Roy Orbison performance of “Crying,” courtesy of Winston The Impersonating Turtle, led to an eruption of praise from the audience, the judges and America. His life would never be the same. In one year, Fator went from small-town appearances to “The Today Show,” “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and, at long last, “The Late Show with David Letterman.” Tickets for the 8 p.m., Terry Fator performance on sale for $89, $69, $49 at the Fantasy Springs Box Office, via telephone (800) 827-2946 or online at www.FantasySpringsResort.com.

Story and Photos by Pat Krause PALM SPRINGS - The Orange Martini Project Exhibition hosted prints at local Palm Springs venues. The prints appear to move when you move to one side or the other, like the old hologram baseball cards from years ago. The opening night gala was held at the Hilton Palm Springs on Wednesday, Feb. 13. More than 4,000 people attended where Orange Martinis were the drink of choice and desserts with a chocolate waterfalls for pretzels, marshmallows and assorted fruit were served. These moving type prints, called Lenticular Prints. There were nine prints in all and were hung all around the room under a spotlight for clear viewing. There was a pool like setting in the middle of the room with moving lights depicting water. The Martini Kings band entertained. Many of the prints included a pool and all had an Orange Martini in the print. The event benefitted the Palm springs High School Arts Institute through sales of the prints. On Friday, Feb. 22, the Uptown

Palm Springs design district of nine stores hosted the, “Passport to Palm Springs,” event. Each store will have one of the prints on display with an after store hours event. People can pick up a passport and have it stamped at each store. After visiting all nine stores the passport will provide a complimentary Orange Martini at participating restaurants. This was a community collaboration where businesses and people came together to put this on. Many prints are on display at the Hilton Palm Springs. Modernism Week features art of all types

According to Bob Reinhagen, CBO Executive Director, “We were really excited to hear that Becky Johnson was accepted to the most advanced program at Boston Ballet and Jonah Corrall received a full scholarship to Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle.” Rob Reinhagen, Artistic Director and Co-Founder of California Ballet Opera said that “all of our students who auditioned were accepted to their first choice schools.” The students received their acceptance letters from some of the most prestigious dance companies in the world. These talented young dancers will get intensive training in New York, Boston or Seattle. Reinhagen said the students chose audition

locations for their school of choice and traveled with their parents to the try outs. Several students were accepted to more than one school but all will, in fact, go to their school of choice. Daniela Acosta will go to American Ballet Theatre(ABT) while Hannah Howard will return to the Dance Theater of Harlem’s summer program for the second time. Sabrina Shelton was accepted to Princeton Ballet, which is affiliated with American Repertory Ballet and ABT. Johnson and Corrall are both part of CBO’s Pre-Professional program and are becoming truly gifted young dancers. Their acceptance to the most prestigious programs in the country speaks volumes on the training they have received with Reinhagen at CBO. This past Christmas, Jonah starred in the title role of the CBO production of The Swinging Nutcracker while Becky was amazing as the Sugarplum Fairy CBO opened its doors in November of 2010 and recently moved to a new studio located at 82-545 Showcase Parkway, Suite

The first performance for this new group will be in June as part of the CBO year end show, We Will Rock You. Unlike other dance and music schools, CBO does not have an ordinary year end recital, but rather a full blown show that features all students in a musical travelogue.

and singers, as well as soloists and small groups. “We are looking for young men and women up to the age of 25 who are willing to rehearse at least twice a week,” says Executive Director, Bob Reinhagen. “These singers should have a serious work ethic and be willing to train both in both voice and dance.” Reinhagen has performed all over the country as a professional singer, actor and director and locally, he conceived the highly successful Open Call for the McCallum Theatre and directed it for the first three year of its existence.

and the school gained recognition at that time as the gold standard for quality performing arts in public education throughout the valley. He retired after 10 years at CVHS to work with his son Rob in developing California Ballet Opera. Other than scheduled rehearsals, students are not required to train with CBO. We welcome performers of all backgrounds and styles of music from Opera to Rock and Roll, as well as students from any public or private high school program. Acting ability will be considered a plus as will expertise on one or more musical instruments. Students need to be energetic, fun and willing to work hard. The CBO singers will consist of an equal number of men and women. Performers in all vocal ranges with the ability to sing in harmony are being sought. High School and College students as well as young people who have graduated and are working are encouraged to join this dynamic and fun group. CBO opened its doors in November 2010 and recently moved to a new studio located at 82-545 Showcase Parkway, Suite 107 in North Indio just off the I-10 Freeway at Jackson.

At the MoviesSTAR IFC Films at the Camelot

By Jackie Devereaux PALM SPRINGS - IFC Films has some interesting movies coming out this spring at the Camelot Theaters. “Like Someone in Love,” opens on Mar. 22; “Beyond the Hills,” opens on Mar. 29; and “On the Road,” opens on Apr. 12. Below are some brief synopses of the three films.

“Like Someone in Love”

An old man and a young woman meet in Tokyo. She knows

nothing about him, he thinks he knows her. He welcomes her into his home, she offers him her body. But the web that is woven between them in the space of twenty-four hours bears no relation to the circumstances of their encounter.

“On The Road”

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Walter Salles and based on the iconic novel by Jack Kerouac, “On the Road,” tells the provocative story of Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a

that she will find peace. But her condition worsens and they finally have to tie her to a wooden plank to prevent her from hurting herself. After ruling out all other options, the priest and nuns decide to read her prayers to deliver those possessed by the Evil One. They perform an exorcism, but the result is not what they had hoped, and Voichita begins to doubt the religious choice she has made. She decides to free Alina - but her decision comes too late. “Beyond The Hills,” was inspired by the non-fiction novels of Tatiana Niculescu Bran. DVD Screeners and press information provided by Danielle Freiberg of IFC Films Publicity & Promotion.

“Like Someone in Love” young writer whose life is shaken and ultimately redefined by the arrival of Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a free-spirited, fearless, fast talking Westerner and his girl, Marylou (Kristen Stewart). Traveling cross-country, Sal and Dean venture out on a personal quest for freedom from the conformity and conservatism engulfing them in search of the unknown, themselves, and the pursuit of “it” -- the pure essence of experience. Seeking unchartered terrain and the last American frontier, the duo encounter an eclectic mix of men and women -- Bull (Viggo Mortensen), Camille (Kirsten Dunst), Carlo (Tom Sturridge), Jane (Amy Adams), Terry (Alice Braga), Galatéa (Elisabeth Moss) – each impacting their journey indelibly.

“Beyond The Hills” “On The Road”

Alina has just been reunited with Voichita after spending several years in Germany. The two young women have supported and loved each other since meeting as children in an orphanage. Alina wants Voichita to leave and return with her to Germany, but Voichita has found refuge in faith and a family in the nuns and their priest, and refuses. Alina cannot understand her friend’s choice. In her attempt to win back Voichita’s affection, she challenges the priest. She is taken to hospital and the people of the monastery start to suspect that she is possessed. When the doctors send her back, Alina is included in the monastic routine in the hope

500 collectable cars, trucks and motorcycles will be up for sale. Now in its 27th year, auction sales have approached $6 million at recent events. That generates more sales tax revenue for the City of Palm Springs than the International Film Festival, Modernism Week, Tour de Palm Springs and the White Party combined, according to McCormick. From 7,000 to 8,000 people pass through the gates each day during the three-day auction. Many are visitors from out of town who stay at hotels, eat at local restaurants and shop at local stores, which also stimulates the local economy, McCormick said. Collectable cars and trucks are a wise investment, giving buyers a good return on their money, said Keith McCormick. And they are fun to own. The auction contracts with more than 100 people who work the event. Nine different companies employ people who assist, including the security company that employs 25 guards and the company that erects the cyclone fence around the site. The auction welcomes the local Lions Club, Angel View and other charities with free space to use as for fund raising. If you are not shopping for your dream car, just show up with your camera, McCormick said, and enjoy the day. Vehicles can sell for a few thousand dollars up to six figures but we have been trending toward more high end cars. The auction is free and open to the public starting at 3 p.m. on Friday. It continues on Saturday and Sunday, with tickets selling for $15 for one day or $25 for two days. The tickets include $10 worth of free cash play complements of the Spa Resort Casino. The auction will stream live via the Internet for three days and people who register in advance may bid for cars by phone. At previous auctions, people tuned in from across the United States, Europe and New Zealand to bid on cars. Four cameras will be set up to show different views of each car as it passes through the auction tent. A special bank of phones will be set up to receive telephone bids.

2013 Infinity JX new model offers 3 seating rows By Arv Voss and Vince Bodiford The Weekend Drive Infiniti has introduced the 2013 JX to their vehicle line-up. The JX is an allnew luxury crossover that was created to deliver inspired style, performance, roominess and innovative features,

challenging the status quo in the segment. JX is a 7-passenger crossover with third row seating, an abundance of luxury, versatility and state-of-theart advancements in technology. So, if the Infiniti QX56 is too big for your tastes or needs, the JX35 should fill the bill quite nicely for considerably

less money, and with better fuel economy. Powering this latest Infiniti model is a 3.5-liter VQ35DE DOHC, 24-valve, 60 degree V6 engine with sequential multi-point fuel injection that makes 265 horsepower at 6,400 rpm, while also generating 248 pound feet of torque at 4,400 rpm.

Desert Classic Concours d’Elegance Returns La Quinta, CA - Hailed as one of the “Top Ten Classic Car Shows in the World,” The Desert Classic Concours d’Elegance will be returning for its sixth year on Feb. 24, and highlighting the 60th anniversary of the Corvette. This year’s show will once again highlight more than 250 of the rarest and most valuable major classic automobiles of the last 100 years.

The show will be held on Sunday, Feb. 24, at the Desert Princess Country Club and Resort at Landau and Vista Chino in Cathedral City from 10 am to 4 pm. Tickets for the show are $30 in advance and $35 on the day of the show. This high end classic car show has grown to be a major event on the circuit of classic car shows that include the Pebble Beach Concours, The Amelia Island Concours and other celebrated automotive events. Classic cars of the 1920’s through the 1970’s will be shown at the event. Participation and support for this event includes the Petersen Museum, Los Angeles, The Checkered Flag 200, RM Classic Auctions, Russo & Steele Classic Auctions and many former Pebble Beach winners. 2013 also marks the 60th anniversary of the introduction

of the Corvette, Corvettes of the entire period, including significant street and race Corvettes, will be highlighted. Corvette luminary Dick Guldstrand will be the event honoree and some of his street and race cars will be present, as well as Corvette Clubs given prominence to show off their cars. In addition to Sunday’s main event, The Desert Classic Concours d’Elegance Road Tour will also assemble at the Desert Princess County Club and Resort on Saturday, February 23rd from 8 to 9 am. The cars can also be viewed at the Palm Springs Air Museum on Gene Autry Trail at around 12 noon, and at the end of the tour around 1 pm at Cuistot Restaurant on El Paseo in Palm Desert. For more information about

The Desert Classic Concours d’Elegance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and to purchase tickets go to www. desertconcours.com or call 760766-1777. Among the charities benefiting from this year’s show will be Loving All Animals Super Pet Adoption Fair, Armed Services YMCA, 29 Palms Marine Corps Base Charities: Wounded Warrior Project.

The all-new JX is no plain creation – it evokes an emotional response from nearly all who behold it. The design concept addresses Infiniti’s DNA without coming across as a clone of any other vehicle in their line-up. Its styling is more contemporary and less futuristic in scope than some of its stable mates. One particularly nice touch is the bright cabin glass surround that traces the greenhouse profile. Lines are smooth and curves are gentle, delivering a most pleasing and attractive exterior form. The interior displays an elegance that befits the exterior. The dash and center console exhibit a graceful wavelike effect. Essentially, the elements in the Infiniti JX were designed to connect the vehicle occupants to the world around them, rather than shelter them from it. The JX35 represents a bold interpretation of what a 7-passenger luxury SUV should be, with the demarcation line between it and other 3-row luxury crossovers beginning with the concept that 7-passenger seating should actually and easily welcome all seven passengers. The JX features a long wheelbase and short overhangs, along with a low roofline that doesn’t compromise interior headroom. The platform provides the benefits of a large family passenger vehicle without the usual exterior styling restrictions. An installed child seat moves forward with the 2nd row seat without limiting 3rd row access. Our test of 2013 Infiniti JX35

The 2013 Infinity JX

AWD was a pre-production vehicle, but delivered outstanding quality in construction and performance. The base sticker is $41,550 while the addition of the Premium Package, Theater Package, Deluxe Touring Package, Technology Package and Destination and Handling charges elevated the final price to $54,800. The 2013 Infiniti JX35 sets an admirable standard for both interior space and comfort. It is loaded with a host of standard amenities and features as standard, with state-ofthe-art technology that encompasses both personal connectivity and safety, with comfort and convenience aspects covered as well. The JX is the first vehicle in the Infiniti line-up to offer Infiniti Connection and Infiniti Connection Plus services, which will be added to other Infiniti navigation-equipped models in the near future. Power is more than ample and the CVT delivers smoothly graded shift points. The ride quality is comfortable, flat and stable. The JX comes in two models – the JX35 FWD and JX35 AWD offering five available equipment options and four drive modes through the Infiniti Drive Mode selector. The Infiniti JX comes out as a Tour de Force in the company’s first venture into the 3-row luxury crossover market segment. Rivals include the Cadillac Escalade (with 3rd row option) and the new Lexus LX - but both cost a bit more.

The common thread for the mass shootings is that the shooters felt bullied. We need to start showing heart and appreciation towards all our brothers and sisters, an heal the muscle memory of being bullied. One strong influencer of violence is the amount of violence we see in television. When someone sees darkness at home and the world around them, they act out dark aspects of themselves. It is no accident that the recent school shootings were just a few day’s from the darkest day of the year Dec. 24. The reason I started practicing The Zone activating experiences, the muscle memory of 10 years of beatings was neutralized or dissolved 100 percent. It is my goal to help everyone worldwide experience the natural high of “The Zone.” The techniques I learned at a young age actually produces whole brain experiences, transforming my ADHD, Dyslexia, Asperger’s

syndrome and PTSD into rich experiences of quantum strength, wisdom and healing. For me to continue these rich experiences of empowerment, it is my civil duty to share it with the world. I was so happy to see that a fellow heartcentered human being was sworn into office as our local congressman. Congressman Dr. Raul Ruiz is going to be a wonderful influence on our Valley and for our children. It is a good time to be alive. If anyone wants to learn more about my heart activation techniques, feel free to contact me. I will be offering a few free 30 minute services every month. Science shows we all used our whole brain during the ages of three to five years old. That is when we were able to absorb a language in just months, merely by hearing the words, rather than reading a book.

Mental Wellness and Non-violence By Mark D. Wenner MLD.

Most of us know that peace begins from within, and mostly infused into our muscle memory via family. For those who did not have a peaceful upbringing, I suggest activating the heart to empower yourself into a life of grace and humility. Please notice the use of the words “Mental wellness and non-violence.” Bio-physical studies show how our body and mind is shaped into that which we put our attention on (fear or love, hate or peace) Our nation is deep into a 10year long “Cultural Dark Age.” Too many media sources and companies are profiting on fear and sickness. With what has happened to Lance Armstrong and others around the world, our Creator seems to be cleaning house, and it feels good for those who play by the rules. My first 15 years of life was filled with fear of when the next beating was to occur, every day by multiple family members. It was not safe for me to be at home, but there was no Boys and Girls club to find sanctuary. Being born with Asperger’s, the same illness the

Here is a simple plan to get from the planning stage of a project to productive habits of accomplishment with a few sheets of paper and several picture frames. STEP ONE: The first step in motivating yourself is to write down exactly what you really want to accomplish. Don’t just write, “I want to lose weight.” Write exactly how many pounds you want to lose and how long you want to take to do this. Make your goals achievable. Establish small, incremental steps and actions. Don’t set yourself up to fail. Set yourself up to succeed! If you have a big goal like starting a new business, don’t be concerned in Step One with how you are going to raise money, find and afford a location or equipment, etc. Simply describe the business in enthusiastic detail. “My candy store will sell wonderful chocolates. It will be different from any candy store in the city because ... It will be successful because this is what I want to do and be in my life.” STEP TWO: Write a detailed list of why you want to reach your goal. Let’s say your goal is to stop smoking. Your “why” list could include the following specifics: “I want to improve my health, get that cigarette smoke smell out of my clothes, stop tasting nicotine, get that yellow color out of my teeth, have my home smell fresh and clean instead of like an ashtray, stop poisoning family members with second hand smoke, etc.” If you want to turn a hobby into a business, write how happy you will be to fulfill your goal. Realistically imagine how much money you will make at first and then after six months. Create in great detail

JOSHUA TREE - The Joshua Tree Retreat Center at the Institute of Mentalphysics will host a community drum circle celebrating the Full Moon from 7 – 9 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 25. Wellknown Joshua Tree percussionist Sam Sloneker will facilitate the gathering, which will be held in the cozy comfort of the center’s Friendship Hall. Studies have shown participation in group drumming to offer a number of worthwhile benefits, including artistic self-expression, community connection and interaction, an expanded sense of self and heightened sense of belonging, increased rapport with others, relief from stress, emotional balancing and strengthening of the immune system. “We’re about to round the corner on midwinter and head toward the wonders of spring, and Sam Sloneker performs at the I’m looking forward to our drumming together at Joshua Tree Retreat Center. the time of February’s Full Moon,” said Sloneker. Photo by Didier Chevalier “The polarity effect created by the Sun and Moon pulling in opposing directions with Earth in the middle can bring on a period of intense energy and precarious balance. Playing together in our circle will help to ground and center us during this time of heightened energies, and it also offers a wonderful opportunity for us to reconnect with ourselves and with each other in the spirit of playfulness. Our drum circles are always lots of fun, so come play with us in celebration of this special time of aliveness and vibrancy, and invite your family and friends to join in our celebration.” And a short video of our Chinese New Year/New Moon drumming can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zMxovCESWc&feature=youtu.be. Participants are encouraged to bring drums, shakers, tambourines, etc. A number of instruments will be available at the event. There is no charge to attend, though a suggested donation of $5 per participant or $10 per family will be welcomed and appreciated. The Joshua Tree Retreat Center is located at 59700 Twentynine Palms Hwy. in Joshua Tree, on the north side of the Highway, just east of the intersection of La Contenta and Yucca Mesa Roads.

STARBody, Mind & Spirit It beats about 100,000 times a day, 35 million times a year. It pumps blood through the body three times every minute, taking that blood on the equivalent of a 12,000 mile trek every 24 hours. Even at rest, it works twice as hard as the leg muscles of a person running. The heart is a remarkable, vital muscle that warrants great care and maintenance. Yet 1 in every 4 deaths is due to heart disease. While there are some inherent risk factors such as aging or family history, poor lifestyle choices are often to blame for

LunaRich soy powder delivers the lunasin equivalent of 25 grams of soy protein. To get that same amount from other foods, you’d need to drink 32 ounces of soy milk, or eat 12 ounces of tofu.

the onset of heart disease. It’s not surprising that heart disease is still the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Eating a wide variety of foods that are low in fat, cholesterol and salt, but rich in nutrients can help protect your heart. Add more fruits and vegetables, about 4 1/2 cups a day; whole grain foods, at least three 1-ounce servings a day; add fish, at least two 3 1/2-ounce servings a week; and nuts, legumes and seeds, at least four servings a week About 25 percent of the cholesterol in your blood comes from the foods you eat. Eating healthy foods low in cholesterol, trans fats and saturated fats and foods high in fiber can help keep cholesterol levels down. Another way to control cholesterol is by incorporating soy protein into your diet. Soy-based diets can reduce LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides and raise HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol). One of the key components in soy’s cholesterol lowering properties is something called lunasin, a naturally occurring soy peptide. It worka at the earlier stage of cholesterol production, or at what’s known as the epigenetic level. This indicated that heart disease may be controllable by adding lunasin to your diet. Scientists found a way to extract lunasin from soybeans so that it could be made available in a pure form. Lunasin content in soy-based foods varies by product and by brand. For example,

day, five times a week. Walk just fast enough to get your heart rate up. Take brisk, 10-minute walks each day; park farther away from your destination; take the stairs; and walk the dog after dinner. Outdoor chores like gardening, raking leaves and washing the car are good ways to get moving. Cleaning house does it, too. Turning on some music and dancing while doing chores. Always talk with your doctor to find out if there are any activities that you should not be doing. -Being overweight is a risk factor for heart disease all on its own. Extra weight puts more burden on your heart, lungs, blood vessels and bones. Being overweight increases the risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, as well. Losing even 10 pounds can produce a significant reduction in blood pressure. Talk to your doctor. Find out your body mass index (BMI), which is your body weight relative to your height. Find out what your BMI should be, and find out what your calorie intake should be for someone of your age, gender and level of physical activity. Keep track of what you eat. This will tell you a lot about your eating habits and help you make smart decisions, like controlling portion sizes and choosing nutrient-rich foods. Set reasonable goals. Don’t go for fad diets that claim you’ll lose 10 pounds in a week. Slow and steady weight loss is more likely to stay off, and you’ll be healthier in the long run.

Lenten Rituals In Mercury Retrograde Saturday Mercury turns stationary retrograde (20 degrees Pisces). Mercury remains retrograde till March 17th. Sunday is the festival of Purim (deliverance of the Jewish people from destruction). Monday is the Pisces solar festival (full moon) and the Lantern Festival, signifying the end of Chinese New Year. By Wednesday Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Neptune are in Pisces - waters that purify, cleanse and prepare us for the fires of spring. We are in Lent now, the time of purification in preparation for spring (Easter, Resurrection, Aries spring festival). Lent, Dutch word “springtime,” lasts forty days and nights - the time it takes for habits to fade away and new rhythms established. Christ needed forty days and forty nights in the desert learning how to use the physical, emotional and mental bodies (personality) of Jesus (whom he “overshadowed”). Forty is a distinctive biblical number. Moses spent forty days with God on Mt. Sinai receiving the 10 Commandments. The flooding rains of Noah’s Ark lasted forty days. The Hebrew people wandered forty years in the Sinai desert before entering the Promised Land. Lenten preparations include fasting (food, emotions, pleasures, luxuries, meat, sweets, alcohol, etc.); prayers; almsgiving (tithing the poor). Altars are stripped of candles and flowers, crucifixes and statues are wrapped in violet, Lenten rituals and fasting have purpose. They change the rhythm of our lives (and our cells). So we can meet the cleansing new and fiery rhythms of spring. ARIES: Your energy turns inward as if you’ve become a monk or nun. It’s temporary but may feel like a long time. You may feel obscured and in-waiting, behind the scenes wrapped in veils. Use this time to assess your religious upbringing, spiritual values and goals. Define what needs restructuring your life and resolved. Then wait for right timing to accomplish these things. Intuition and revelations come as a flash of light. TAURUS: Something happened or will happen with friends and groups. There was or could be communication misunderstandings. For the next three weeks focus on your own goals, hopes, wishes and dreams. Allow you to dream and visualize the very best life for yourself. Then include your friends. Then visualize community, everyone working together. It will be important to have a common language. That language is astrology - humanity’s “unitive field.” GEMINI: You will assess and reassess your professional standing. You will be seen “through a glass darkly” by some and as spectacular

by others. But the important “seeing” is how you see yourself and where you see yourself in several years? It’s important to consider these things as they resolve differences within the self and others. These reflections and contemplations help define us, allow us to focus clearly and then we don’t stumble blindly about. CANCER: Some Cancers are painting their homes using broad and expensive brushes. Some aren’t. Be sure when viewing life to use an expansive brush, one that doesn’t fall apart after little use. Be sure in life to see both the big picture and the little one. It’s all about (your) vision for the next three weeks; how you perceive things. It’s best to “see” the world through the spacious lens of love. Loving all things, all people, all the time. It creates a new rhythm and a perceptive new adventure. LEO: Tend to all resources, money and finances, to taxes and wills the next three weeks. Create a new financial structure to be implemented later when the retrograde is over. Do not become overextended. Shop only for what is needed. Things might seem somewhat complex and even hidden for a while. They are. Look for things forgotten, misplaced and neglected. Renew old important friendships. One in particular. VIRGO: Careful assuming things about others, especially those close to you.

Careful that you don’t misinterpret their actions. Careful that you don’t personalize events. The next three weeks provide you with time to review an incident that has disturbed other people’s lives. You must tend to this situation, mending it with truthfulness, coming to an understanding of your part and offering real forgiveness, which brings forth ethics and integrity. LIBRA: Everything experienced as habit and routine will do a turnaround. Everything expected becomes unexpected. This shake-up allows you to ponder upon what’s unfinished and something concerning you. All plans will seem to have stopped. Obstructions appear. You will need to take alternate routes. Remember to call upon the Willto-Good each morning so that each day is filled with Right Choice.

SCORPIO: It’s good to think of lots of playfulness and creativity the next three weeks, allowing whatever comes forth to take its time to play itself out. Nothing will be as you expect. You will begin something then suddenly it will change course. No patterns will be established. Everything will feel detoured. Just remember, when stopped somewhere, look around. There’s something important to see. Let confusions lead the way. SAGITTARIUS: It’s best to use the next three weeks rethinking the foundations you’ve created in your life and the course you’ve taken. Your values are changing once again and in order to get to the heart of all matters, you must get to the heart of what you truly believe in. Small conflicts may arise, and instability may rock your little lifeboat. Don’t be frightened. Think of “Pi.” Life’s ups and downs are needed to create a newer harmony. CAPRICORN: Ebbs and flows and swirls of thinking and emotion will shift the steadfast fabric of your life and who you’ve been these last many years. You seek to be reliable but you sense something changing in your life. It’s important not to be caught in a nebulous illusioned state of wanting. All actions have equal reactions. Even if we can’t see them. Use your vital energy for creating something spectacular. With frills or trills at the end. AQUARIUS: It is important to concentrate on savings, creating a financial foundation to see you into the future. Allocate ten or more percent of monies to savings. Don’t be thrifty with savings. Be thrifty with everything else - good to consider during Lent. Make everything as simple as possible so that energy in and around you moves flows unobstructed. It’s important to consider re-designing how you use money, what you use it for and how you value it. Tithe. PISCES: The time has come once again to think about who you are, defining your self-identity, considering how your image is projected into your surroundings. Should you discover anything harsh or raw or unfinished, smooth it. You will change your mind about many things while seeking consistency in your daily life. You will begin cleaning and clearing your environment in order to have a sense of spaciousness. Things grow better that way.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE Trustee Sale No. : 20120015003921 Title Order No.: 120373062 FHA/VA/PMI No.: YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST, DATED 02/25/2008. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NDEX WEST, LLC, as duly appointed Trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust Recorded on 02/29/2008 as Instrument No. 2008-0100707 of official records in the office of the County Recorder of RIVERSIDE County, State of CALIFORNIA. EXECUTED BY: ROBERT BARRY FATERNICK, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER’S CHECK/CASH EQUIVALENT or other form of payment authorized by 2924h(b), (payable at time of sale in lawful money of the United States). DATE OF SALE: 03/12/2013 TIME OF SALE: 9:00 AM PLACE OF SALE: IN FRONT OF THE CORONA CIVIC CENTER, 849 W. SIXTH STREET, CORONA, CA 92882. STREET ADDRESS and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 9885 LA PALOMA LN, DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA 92240 APN#: 638-203-039 4 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $119,819.73. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder ‘s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www. lpsasap.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20120015003921. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800.280.2832 or visit this www.auction. com Internet Web site address for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case file number. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Winter Flowering Shrubs –

The Emu Family If you are looking for flowering shrubs that bloom during the winter season, then you have to become familiar with the eremopihila family. There are currently four species in production, three of them are winter bloomers, and I’ve outlined those three below. The

fourth, Eremophila x Summertime Blue, is also a beautiful shrub, blooming from spring until the end of summer. Eremophila glabra “Winter Blaze” will grow 3’-4’ tall and 4’5’ wide. Evergreen glossy foliage, tubular red flowers most of the

Eremophila maculata “Valentine” grows 4’ tall by 4’-5’ wide. This evergreen shrub from Australia blooms in the winter with red to hot pink tubular flowers. It has a naturally dense form and is extremely heat tolerant. Valentine blooms from January through March with masses of red flower buds that open to form hot pink, fuchsia-like blossoms. In the winter months the tiny, dark green leaves develop an attractive reddish tinge. If left unpruned, it has a spiky, natural form very similar to that of Chihuahuan sage (Leucophyllum laevigatum). However, it responds well to shearing, and can be maintained in a tight ball, if desired. In fact, blooming occurs on new tip growth, so an annual shearing is recommended in late spring after

into production by Mountain States Wholesale Nursery in Arizona. It Eremophila Maculata flowers on new growth almost all year. It handles full sun and reflected heat beautifully. Eremophila hydrangea “Blue Bells” will grow 2’-3’ tall and 3’ wide. Petite shrubs are always popular, and this little evergreen plant combines stunning purple flowers with silvery foliage. It closely resembles a Texas ranger, but this shrub is native to the deserts of Western Australia. Showy tubular flowers attract hummingbirds to the garden all year round. A full sun exposure and good drainage are preferred. Try Eremophila hygrophana in front of Eremophila maculata Valentine for a beautiful color scheme.

Eremophila Glabra flowering has ended. Plant it in full sun for best growth and flower production. Chris Hermann is part owner of Aunt Effie’s Gardens in Palm Springs which is located at 2393 N.
