DESERT HOT SPRINGS - Guy Tedesco founded Food Now 24 years ago with the simple mission of feeding the hungry. Today, twin brothers David and Dana Johnson run the nonprofit organization with help from committed citizens and other nonprofits to continue its mission. Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council has become another group that Food Now can depend on. The food pantry has become a regular ICARE partner, joining an evergrowing list of organizations that will receive Girl Scout cookies. San Gorgonio Council will serve 55 I CARE partners this year, a remarkable increase over last year’s 35 partners that received 167,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies.

“We are just delighted to have Food Now as an official I CARE partner starting this year,” said Elizabeth Locke Thomas, Vice President of Product Sales and Retail at Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio. The Girl Scout council donated 2,400 boxes of cookies on Wednesday, Feb. 27 and when the cookies come, so do the smiles.” “We are so thankful and our customers are going to be ecstatic. Because we are a food pantry, we rarely get treats like this, we can’t afford to buy them, so donations like this are a real blessing,” said Dana Johnson, Food Now’s Resource Development Manager. This delivery is only the first of three the Girl Scouts will make with

the next on Mar. 20 an additional 2,500 boxes of cookies, plus another 1,020 boxes for the Food Now El Paseo Bunny Hop Marathon. Food Now has a yearly budget of $150,000 which providea food assistance for 550 to 600 families each week, or 30,000 families each year. “We could not accomplish this without generous donations from community partners. It’s entirely through individual people and organizations like the Girl Scouts that we are able to keep our doors open. We are so grateful that San Gorgonio Council thought of us,” Johnson said. To volunteer or donate to Food Now, you can visit their website or drop by Food Now’s office located at 14080 Palm Drive, Suite E behind the UPS Store.

SOLAR PROGRAM = ENERGY INDEPENDENCE PALM DESERT–The microclimate of Coachella Valley creates an abundance of solar radiation with an average high temperature of 107 degrees in the summer. The ample sunlight makes the Valley an ideal place to produce solar electricity. Sullivan Solar Power, a leading

Southern California renewable energy company, launched a communitywide incentive program to encourage mass adoption of solar power in the region. Sullivan offers a free seminar on Saturday, Mar. 16 at 11 a.m., at the YMCA of the Desert, 43-930 San Pablo Ave in Palm Desert to learn how to participate in the program. The seminar will cover solar technology, rebates and incentives, case studies and the Coachella Valley Solar Program (CVSP). The seminar will last one hour and lunch is provided. RSVP by calling 1-800-SULLIVAN. “The CVSP offers property owners to get paid to go solar,” said Daniel Sullivan, founder and president of Sullivan Solar Power. “Participants can go solar for $0 upfront, eliminate their electric bills and receive a cashback incentive valued up to twice the

amount of the State rebate.” CVSP will last through May 31 and is limited to 100 participants. To be eligible for cash incentives and the state rebate, participants must be serviced by Southern California Edison (SCE). The cities of Cathedral City, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert and Palm Springs are all serviced by SCE. CVSP will transition from fossil fuels and dirty energy to clean, renewable, proven solar technology. The program is modeled similarly to the California Solar Initiative state rebate, which encourages the creation of a critical mass. “Going solar is a no brainer; the homeowner saves money; it supports our regional and national economies; it preserves our environment; and we’re actually going to pay you to do it.”

Officials Urge Zone Protection COACHELLA VALLEY – The Riverside County Board of Supervisors urged state officials to support California’s Enterprise Zone program and to not enact sweeping changes that would increase costs to businesses that hire workers in communities with high rates of poverty and unemployment. “This program is an economic stimulator that has created more than 2,200 local jobs in the last three years,” said Supervisor John J. Benoit, a member of the Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone Authority. “California cannot afford to do away with this economic development tool or lose businesses and jobs to states that provide a more business-friendly environment.” The resolution passed 5-0 to support business incentive programs that offer hiring credits, sales and use

tax credits and a more reasonable benefits to employers located in the 40 enterprise zones. The 56-square-mile Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone Authority (CVEZA) is Riverside County’s only designated Enterprise Zone, spanning the cities of Coachella and Indio and communities of Mecca, Thermal and Thousand Palms. The CVEZA has issued 6,549 hiring credit vouchers with local businesses reporting 2,247 of those as new positions recently. “I am encouraged that Riverside County and its economic development staff continue to support the Enterprise Zone program,” said Mark Weber, zone manager for CVEZA. “The Enterprise Zone is important to economic development, capital investment, job creation and job retention in our community.”

Our Unions, Our Jobs, Our Economy: Where do we go from here? Elgin McBride, an out of work union carpenter from Yucca Valley, called me to respond to an immigration reform article published in last week’s newspaper. While McBride agreed with the essence of the 14th Amendment “…that all persons should be given equal rights under the law,” he had trouble with its broader implications affecting his local carpenter union in Riverside County. McBride is right about a lot of things wrong with our economy, so I decided to write about his plight as a union worker who’s asking our elected officials, our bottom-line businessmen and our Mexican neighbors to the south, what happened to his job? Unions originally were formed to protect employees from hazardous working conditions and unfair labor practices, promising those who joined their “club”a fair wage with retirement benefits. However, while that was their mission long ago, times have changed and so have our unions. McBride worked his way up in his Local Carpenters Union 499 out of Ontario, to make $49.50 per hour which included benefits. He’s worked only one week at a union job since March 2009 and his unemployment benefits ran out long ago. He can no longer support his family, tried welfare and food stamps but worries he’ll be homeless before too long. “I should have gotten a job at the new San Jacinto Wastewater Treatment Facility, but instead

our politicians voted to give that contract to a non-union company from Arizona, bringing Mexicans who’ll work for $10-$15 an hour. My union didn’t protect me,” he said, “Instead, they crushed me.”

EDITOR’S Opinion Jackie Devereaux

McBride explained how a big construction supplier and deliverer of concrete from Mexico, CEMEX, acquired the U.S.-based Southdown Inc., in 2000. Then in 2005, CEMEX paid $5.8 billion for the London-based RMC Group, making it the largest construction material supplier in North America. Then in 2007, CEMEX acquired Rinker for a whopping $14 billion making it the world’s largest concrete company. Nothing wrong with that in a perfect economic world, but in McBride’s world, it spelled disaster. “While we spent the past 10 years sending our boys to war, paying trillions of dollars to fight on two fronts, Mexico didn’t pay a dime,” he said. “Instead, they

bought up our companies and send non-union workers in.” To add insult to injury, he it was our own politicians who voted for and approved these corporate sales and grantdc non-union contracts. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when CEMEX bought hundreds of Redi-Mix plants in January 2011 (bringing their total to 513) and making them the largest construction materials supplier in the world. McBride represents a million union workers, and while I empathize with them all, the economics don’t lie. I cannot blame CEMEX for our nation’s economic debacle. They started as a small cement plant in Hidalgo, Northern Mexico in 1906. They survived the Mexican Revolution, expanded throughout their country for decades before co-investing in the United States, Europe, Asia, Central and South America. CEMEX did what any good business would do - they grew. It seems the real culprits are our U.S. labor unions. They were formed initially to protect workers from harm and unfairness, but throughout the decades have evolved into being over-priced, over-benefitted “clubs” offering no profit for any business anywhere. I think the unions did it to themselves. Look at the Detroit auto industry. It had to be bailed out because of the cushy union deals. Consumers pay $40,000 for a new American-made car that’s worth $20,000. If Detroit

automakers had non-union workers, then that car would cost $25,000 with a healthy profit for all. Instead, we’re sending our parts and manufacturing industry overseas where labor is cheaper. If I were in that kind of business, that’s exactly what I would do. But then what about McBride and his family? Where does that leave him? He cannot accept a $10-$15 an hour job in America without benefits because he’s in the union. Our nation’s economic collapse has been happening for a long time and it’s not over yet folks. We’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg. When more American families like the McBride’s fall into homelessness, then what will we do? We cannot blame Mexico for increasing their productivity. While our unemployment levels reached 10 to 14 percent in California, Mexico’s has dropped to less than 5 percent. While our nation’s housing market went bankrupt and our credit ranking went down the toilet, Mexico has seen an annual standard of living increase of 5.9 percent. It’s time we all took a Spanish lesson and learned how to say, “muchas gracias” to our neighbors south of the border for teaching us a vital lesson. Don’t ever underestimate a Mexican worker. They work long hours, leave their families for years to toil in our fields and construction jobs with smiles on their faces. They don’t whine about losing their cushy $49.50 an hour union job because

someone with a different color skin will hammer a nail for $15 an hour. Our American workers won’t pick produce, they won’t leave their families to live in shared housing with five other men, and unions have entitled them to balk at lower paying jobs. We have a huge disparity in the labor force in America. There are those who will work for less and there are those who say they can’t because they’re in the union. We have college graduates who work at minimum wage jobs, and women get paid less than men for the same job. That’s just how it is. That’s how our economic evolution has developed. Decades ago, the Unions were King and ruled the roost. Now they’re nothing more than aging has-beens who’ve lost the economic war here and abroad. I think Mexico has won that war without ever firing a shot.

LocalSTAR Dear Editor; About Mitchell’s letter (Feb. 13), I am pleased he credited me as an affiliate of Occupy Coachella Valley and People Over Pollution, two groups fighting human and environ-mental abuses by large corporations such as CPV Sentinel Energy Project sited in North Palm Springs. Problems with Mitchell’s comments include; the EPA has stated in its published data that the project is a failure in its conception in that it poses certain dire health hazards. They published stricter PM2.5 rules on Jan. 15, 2013, which puts Sentinel at 94 percent over standards, stating, “so as to provide increased protections against health effects associated with long and short-term exposures (including early mortality, increased hospital admissions and emergency room visits and development of respiratory disease).” PM2.5 is considered to be a very toxic

emission, affecting infants, the elderly, those with breathing problems and immune disorders within its operating zone, namely the Coachella Valley. Also, the CPV Sentinel will be using DHS’s worldrenowned drinking water to cool the plant, depleting it from our water table and wasting it. Mitchell’s letter didn’t address the issue of why they need our drinking water, rather than the river water for plant cooling. Mission Springs water is for drinking, not major industrial cooling. The 9th Circuit Court has halted the plant from going online due to a lawsuit over outdated pollution credits gathered unlawfully. One must wonder why CPV Sentinel is testing the limits of court-ordered mandates with overzealous test-firings. Corporate stakeholders should have considered the moral question about spreading toxic particulates around our community for a profit.

Retirement Plans And Defend the Constitution Surpass Expectations By Janice Gough

Retirees are entering one of the most exciting and challenging stages of their life. It can be a time to draw on personal and professional experiences, to open new doors of opportunity and education. It can be a time to realize potential and accomplish goals previously delayed by career and raising a family. Although the opportunities are endless, a successful retirement does not come without It’s hurtles. There are many things to consider in order to get it right, such as living on a reduced income, creating a health and wellness strategy, and evaluating relationships. Knowing who wish to share your time with is a key to happiness. Also important is allocation of personal time, determining l i v i n g arrangements, a n d recognizing change in social rules. There is also the unfortunate, b u t necessar y, adjustment to the eventual death of loved ones. The life we lead is a result of the choices we make. The majority of successful retirees recognize the power of creating a realistic retirement vision and an action plan to achieve it. Armed with this mental model, they are able to make sound choices and progress toward their desired results. A good way to begin is by taking time to visualize what the word “retirement” means to you. What is it that attracts, scares, or excites you about this particular time of life? Next, write out a description of your imagined retirement life. It is important to be as descriptive as possible. What are you doing and what are you accomplishing? Envision yourself doing things that make you happy. What activities

and hobbies will you enjoy? How will you manage your health and wealth? Who will be the professionals that you wish to work with? Imagine yourself in various ages of retirement. In your 90s and 100 plus years, what would you like to have accomplished? What are you most proud of? What have you done that has brought happiness to you and others? What legacy will you leave behind? Once you have recorded a well thought out vision, share it with a partner or spouse, close friends and of course with your advisor. This process of sharing will provide different perspectives and help shape your final vision. Optimism is KEY throughout the retirement visioning process. It’s important to focus on the rewards of a balanced retirement, meditate on the feeling of being complete, enriched and f i n a n c i a l ly s e c u r e . Ret i re m e n t visions should be reviewed and rewritten as often as necessary, until the vision feels right and is in line with your wants, needs, and beliefs. Meet with your advisor regularly to assess what is working and what is not. You may then make the required changes to meet your goals and expectations. As you enter the secondlongest phase in your life, take an informed, active role in getting it right. With appropriate guidance and thoughtful planning, you will be able to enjoy life after work, and relish it.

In today’s challenging economic climate, effectively using the tools social media offers can make a job search successful or a significant time waster. Whether you are just starting out in the job market or looking to switch careers, you must work to present a professional image of yourself online, which many people have found to be helpful in their job search. Employers are looking at social sites to see what they can find out about a candidate – you can use social media tools to make sure they find information that makes them want to interview you, rather than discard your resume. We’re moving from a “knowledge economy” to a “social economy,” and as we do so, the recruiting process for most

Those are the words that every President and member of Congress recites when they are sworn into office. Well, at least the ones that bother to attend their swearing-in. In the past few weeks, while our country was staring down the gun barrel of the Sequester, elected officials were doing just about everything other than working to find a solution. I’m afraid that they have taken the Sequester term personally. Webster’s defines sequester as “causing one to withdraw into seclusion.” The Constitution is a document that many seem to have forgotten and there seems to be little defense of it lately. The Constitution is the supreme law of our land. And just in case you were wondering, Sequester is not part of the Constitution. It’s a budget tool dreamed up by Congress during the Reagan era. One of the framers of our Constitution, principal author of the Declaration of Independence, and the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, was passionate about limiting the size and scope of government. Jefferson was one of 74 delegates (55 that actually attended) who in less than 120 days, helped draft an entire Constitution. The backgrounds of the framers of the Constitution could not have been more diverse. They didn’t have the “luxury” of recognized political parties with established leaders. Our country had no money and was defaulting on our debt. Britain still held forts on U.S. soil. Foreign trade was being blocked by other nations and we had a whopping 625-man army. And yet these gentlemen were able to work through the worst of conditions and draft a document that changed our world forever. Fast forward 226 years and the very men and women who have sworn to defend the Constitution can’t even come to terms on spending. Political agendas have replaced keeping

companies involves a look at your presence on the social web. Today, prospective job applicants must be much more deliberate in creating their “elevator pitch” and presenting a strong professional image of themselves using social media tools. It’s called your personal brand. If personal branding seems superficial, think again. Recruiters will search for you on social media sites to see what they can find – you need to make sure they are finding a motivated, professional candidate that they want to bring in for an interview. So where do you start? The first step is to conduct online searches of your name to see what comes up. Also do additional searches that include your city with your name, for example I would Google search

America safe and secure. What happened to those self-evident truths and unalienable Rights including Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness? “I think that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.” Jefferson uttered those words more

Investment Know-How Kevin Powell than 200 years ago. A recent Gallup survey found that 84 percent of Americans think it is “extremely important” or “very important” to deal with the federal budget deficit. The Sequester that went into effect on Mar. 1 was designed to lead to a smaller deficit. It’s not necessarily “John Doe Palm Desert” to see if any other results come up. Obviously, if there are things online you wouldn’t want a potential employer to see (such as risqué photos on Facebook), you’ll want to delete them. I recommend building a profile on LinkedIn, which many people liken to a more professionally focused Facebook. Take the time to create a well-written profile and ask colleagues and friends to endorse and recommend you through the site. It is important to remember that if you contact a potential employer through social media sites, such as Facebook, you’re more or less inviting them to have a look at it. What I suggest is cleaning up your online reputation and using a professional email address to contact employers.

the most effective way to get something accomplished but if we wait for the politicians, we might not ever see any changes. More than $85 billion in automatic cuts became reality last Friday. However, no cuts will actually take effect and no workers will have to be furloughed until one month from Mar. 27. That’s the next big deadline for Congress when stopgap funding expires and the government faces a shutdown. So there is still time for Congress and the President to finally pass meaningful legislation. Many programs are exempt from the automatic cuts. One of the most offensive protected areas is pay cuts for members of Congress and the funds used to maintain their offices. Congressional offices get a total of $1.5 million to spend every year or nearly $1 billion in total for flowers, flat screens and folly. The largest expense is for staff salaries but there is ample excess that is now protected by law. If you were allowed to choose, would you furlough Congressional staffers or teachers and first responders? It’s obvious who politicians think are most important. Both parties have resorted to scare tactics to press their points. This shameful tactic has to stop. Jefferson also said, “When the people fear their government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.” The fact is that the Sequester is unlikely to wreck the economy. It’s doubtful that it will constrain business or cause another recession. It represents about 3 percent of current spending. To help put that in perspective, the cost of Hurricane Katrina was $45 billion. A friendly reminder to our esteemed leaders -- it’s tough to shake a fella’s hand when you are pointing your finger at him. Kevin Powell has been a financial advisor for the past 27 years and can be reached at kpplanner1@aol.com.

Work at utilizing social media in your job search on a daily basis. Set aside an hour to explore job sites and then check LinkedIn to see who might have some type of relationship or contact even distant with the companies you are targeting for employment. Always focus on a goal and have a plan.

SocietySTAR 3rd annual Celebrity Golf Tournament for St. Jude Kids Photos and story by Pat Krause PALM DESERT - Actor Patrick Warburton held his 3rd annual Celebrity Golf Tournament for St. Jude Kids at two locations in the Desert. Parties were held at JW Marriott Ballroom and Golf was held at the Classic Club Golf Course. The event was presented by Hightower and was held last weekend Mar. 1- 3. A pairings party to end all parties was held on Friday, Mar. 1. Celebrities attending the golf tournament showed their talents in front of all the guests. Singers and musicians had a good time on stage to a very welcoming, enthusiastic crowd. Rob Morrow warmed up the stage for the next performers that included, Mike Mills, Robin Meade, Orianthi Panagaris, John Elefante and Kim Karnes.

Frank and Barbara Sinatra

Frank’s Little Party Twenty-five years is a long time to keep a party going, but when the hosts are Frank and Barbara Sinatra it’s only natural that what was once referred to as “Frank’s little party in the Desert” for friends of the celebrity couple turned a weekend of golf into a quarter-century of fundraising to help care for physically, sexually and emotionally abused children.

As a result of Barbara’s dream and Frank’s vision, the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center opened in 1986 on the Eisenhower Medical Center campus in Rancho Mirage, focusing on child abuse prevention, community education, and breaking the cycle of abuse before it can effect future generations. Through the years, the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center has developed a worldwide reputation for its achievements in protecting children from abuse, and for the fact that no child in need is ever turned away, regardless of their family’s ability to pay. This year’s “little party,” now known as the Frank Sinatra Starkey Hearing Technologies Celebrity Invitational, was held last month

with Starkey Hearing serving as the title sponsor for the fifth consecutive year; and, like the fun, the format hadn’t changed. The long Sinatra Weekend began on Thursday evening with a pairings party at the host venue, Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, where teams were announced as guests enjoyed a lavish “Pasta Italiano” buffet and hilarious entertainment by comedic singer and entertainer, Gary Mule Deer. Friday saw the golfers, (mostly male, but with Elke Sommer and Ann Myers-Drysdale being notable exceptions), attack the greens of Eagle Falls Golf Course, the host course. For the golfers’ non-playing wives and partners, as well as ticketholders from the general public, there was the traditional Friday luncheon and fashion show, this year featuring the exquisitely detailed and powerful haute couture collection of daytime, evening and formal fashions by Palm Desert designer, Fe Zendi. The popularity of Fe Zendi’s creations was evidenced at the luncheon as many guests came dressed in their personal Fe Zendi’s, and even the designer herself, when asked to describe her artistry, referred to her designs as “delicious” and “yummy.” (We also have it on good authority that Fe Zendi will be re-establishing her presence in Beverly Hills soon, on Brighton Way, adjacent to David Webb jewelers; now how’s that for convenience?) Friday evening’s buffet Italianstyle dinner, (remember, it’s Frank Sinatra’s name that’s on the event), had vocal entertainment by the event’s Honorary Celebrity Marshall, Frankie Randall, vocalist Ms. Deana Martin, a guitar-playing Vince

Ferragamo and everyone’s favorite comedian, Norm Crosby. For golfers, Saturday was another day of tournament play while spouses and significant others prepared themselves for the evening’s black-tie gala. Over the years, the Sinatra Gala has developed the reputation of being on a very short list of the top concert performance of the season, and for good reason.

Among celebrities also worthy of note are comedian Tom Dreesen, Tournament Emcee, who has held

that role for the past 25 years; Dick Van Dyke, actor, comedian, singer and dancer, as well as Honorary Spokesman for this year’s tournament; and retired professional golfer, Ken Venturi, the event’s CoHost, along with Barbara Sinatra. Child abuse is no laughing matter, but being a supporter of the Barbara Sinatra’s Children’s Center can be fun, and you’ll be helping to underwrite the great effort, dedication, time and financial aid required to help a child overcome abuse.

Arab Salsa Dance?

If you hear mention of the Sultanate of Oman it is doubtful that the next thing to come to mind would be salsa. But that’s only because you haven’t been to the third Oman International Salsa & Dance Festival held last weekend at the Al Nahda Resort and Spa, just outside of Oman’s capital city, Muscat. The weekend-long festival brought together professional performers, dance instructors and salsa enthusiasts from around the globe for three days and nights of salsa, barbeques and pool parties. Guests sharpened their moves, taught by some of the best artists in the world of Latin dance, and there were daily workshops teaching an array of dance, including Salsa, Bachata, Spins, Cha Cha, Cuban Salsa, Reggaeton and, of course, Belly Dancing. For those who were too tired to fully participate in the non-stop dancing, there were dance shows on Thursday and Friday evenings, with after-show parties keeping guests dancing until the early hours. On Saturday, there was even a pool party that got underway at 10 a.m. with salsa DJ’s on hand to supply the tunes throughout each party. Of course, the weekend was not all about dance. Many of the participants took a tour of Oman’s capital, featuring examples of Muscat’s intermingling of ancient cultural heritage and modern style. In fact, Oman has developed its own architectural style that allows its historic buildings to blend comfortably with low rise, modern developments. HRH Prince Charles is due to visit Oman next month. He probably won’t be dancing, but you can, at 2014’s 4th Oman International Salsa & Dance Festival. Al Capone’s cell in Eastern State Penitentiary

Today, it stands empty except for groups of tourists who move through cells and down seemingly endless corridors amidst haunting memories of infamous inmates of the past including “Slick Willie” Sutton and Al Capone.

PALM SPRINGS– Perfect for Spring Break and the Easter holiday, Virgin America continues to offer its upscale, low-fare service from Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) through Apr. 30 with fares as low as $79*one way to San Francisco and $169* one way to New York. “We’re pleased to enter markets with less competition, drop air fares and improve service. This area is a world-class travel destination, and travelers deserve more air travel options,” said David Cush, President and Chief Executive Officer of Virgin America Known for upscale service, beautifully designed cabins and unrivalled in-flight entertainment, Virgin America swept the travel awards since 2007, including being named “Best Domestic Airline” in both Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards and Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards for the past four years. Before the airline’s launch, there was little low-fare competition on the SFOPSP routes and no “same plane” through flight service from JFK-PSP. Virgin America is the

only airline headquartered in California and has expanded to 16 destinations (including PSP) and has created 2,200 new jobs in the past four years. As one of the few growing U.S. carriers, the airline has launched service to other Spring Break locations such as Cancun and Puerto Vallarta this past year and plans to add 500 additional jobs soon. Virgin America’s all-new fuel-efficient fleet offers customdesigned mood-lit cabins and amenities like fleetwide WiFi, power outlets and personal entertainment at every seat. The Red™ platform offers guests their own seatback touch-screen TV, with 35 films, live TV, Google Maps, videogames, seat-to-seat chat, music videos, a 3000 song library and an on-demand menu – so flyers can order a cocktail or snack from their seatback any time during a flight. In addition to a Main Cabin that offers customdesigned leather seating with a deeper, more comfortable pitch, the airline’s First Class offers plush white leather seating with

55 inches of pitch, 165 degrees of recline and lumbar massagers. The carrier’s Main Cabin Select option offers 38-inches of pitch, free food and cocktails, an all-access pass to media content, dedicated overhead bins and priority check-in/boarding. The Palm Springs area is the ultimate playground for outdoor adventure, arts and culture, gaming and entertainment. In addition to luxury resorts and world-class golfing, the region has welcomed an influx of hip boutique hotels and landmark events like the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Palm Springs has a history as the holiday home of many Hollywood stars from the 1940s, and is known as the center of “Desert Modernism” mid-century modern architecture. With seasonal service from between Dec. 15 through Apr. 30, Virgin America’s daily PSP schedule also offers connecting flights to Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C., Seattle, Las Vegas, San Diego, Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Cabos, Cancun, Chicago, Puerto Vallarta and as Palm Springs.

Finally, there’s an airline promotion that’s a natural.

Title: A Knight In York (UDR) You might be interested if you like: Deep Purple, The Chieftains, Dead Can Dance. Tell me more: For more than a decade, guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and singer Candice Night have been recording and performing their distinctive Renaissance-styled blend of British and Celtic folk. “A Knight In York” really provides a perfect presentation of what makes the couple’s approach so unique. Recorded live on Sept. 30, 2011 at the Grand Opera House in York, England, Blackmore’s Night may have a sound rooted in the distant past but the troupe has no problem blending modern-day sonics into the mix. Blackmore puts aside his acoustic guitar and mandolin in favor of his Fender electric guitar on “The Circle” and “Journeyman” with fret play sure to please those who loved his work in Deep Purple and Rainbow. Night’s beautiful soprano is at home whether singing gentle ballads (“Gilded Cage”) or uptempo neo-Medievil rock (“Fires At Midnight”). Throughout the lengthy set, Blackmore’s sterling work on acoustic guitar and mandolin is equally fine. “A Knight In York” is a wonderful 3-disc collection (the concert is presented on both DVD and via two audio CDs).

INDIO –On Saturday, Mar. 16, the legendary performer Paul Anka will take the stage once again at Fantasy Springs and further solidify his status as a music icon. Anka skyrocketed to fame in the late 1950s and 1960s with hit songs like “Diana,” “Lonely Boy,” and “Put Your Head on My Shoulder.” He went on to write such well-known music as the theme for “The Tonight Show” starring Johnny Carson, one of Tom Jones’ biggest hits, “She’s a Lady,” and the English lyrics for Frank Sinatra’s signature song, “My Way.” Anka’s two most recent albums ,“Rock Swings” and “Classic Songs, My Way,” featured

songs created by some of the biggest rock performers, but Anka did the songs ‘his way.’ “I take great songs and rework them so they’re natural for me.” With the help of his five daughters, Anka spent months researching music from the ‘80s and ‘90s, trying to find the songs that would work in the radical new context he proposed. The songs that made the cut included: Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life,” Lionel Richie’s “Hello,” and Eric Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven.” Even more dramatic were his transformations of “Wonderwall,” by Oasis, “Black Hole Sun,” by Soundgarden and Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen

MATCHBOX TWENTY at Fantasy Springs INDIO – On Saturday, Mar. 30, Rob Thomas will make his return to the Special Events Center stage at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. This is the same stage where he performed solo in front of a soldout crowd just two years ago. This time, however, Thomas will return with his band mates from his fourtime Grammy-nominated band, Matchbox Twenty. After being together on and off for more than 15 years, Matchbox Twenty has four commercially successful pop-rock albums to their name. The band’s most recent album, “North,” was released in September of 2012 and debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200 list. Their newest album has spawned instant buzz among critics with radio hit singles “She’s So Mean” and “Overjoyed.” “North” comes 10 years after Matchbox Twenty

“Tuesday Afternoon” and “I Know You’re Out There Somewhere.” Although it seems natural for the casual listener to assume Hayward’s primary gift centers on crafting lush and soaring symphonic rock, that is only half right.

This album tied up radio airwaves for more than a year with singles including Grammynominated hit “Unwell,” “Bright Lights,” and “Disease” which was cowritten with Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger. Powered by Thomas’ distinct voice and songwriting ability, the band has been a hit machine, churning out a number of Top 40 hits such as “Push,” “Real World,” “Back 2 Good,” “Mad Season,” “Disease,” and “How Far We’ve Come.” The band has also produced four # 1 singles, including “3 a.m.,” “Bent,” “If You’re Gone,” and “Unwell.” Tickets for the 8 p.m. are $109, $89, $69, $49 at the Fantasy Springs Box Office, or call (800) 827-2946 or online at www.

Judaysia Short Hair for Spring by Judaysia Drastic Measures

Short and to the point. Sheared styles have been cropping up on celebrities and fashion models. We have seen them over the years on Twiggy, Mia Farrow and Eddie Sedgwick just to name a few. Edie’s bleached blonde choppy haircut with dark roots inspired looks on the Spring Runway. Androgynous mops the new boy cuts are long on top. Some have jagged micro bangs like you cut it yourself. Short hair looks best on women with delicate features. Before you cut off all your hair consider these tips. If you have really long hair go shorter over a few haircuts. This will lessen the shock if you have never worn short hair before and a good way to see if you have made the right decision. Approach your new short cut with a positive attitude. If you have just suffered a loss or some trauma in your life now is not the time to make a drastic change. Consider your facial features. Big ears can be concealed with hair over them. Jowls and double chins become the focal point of your face with short hair. Short hair gives full exposure to an aging face. Ask your hairdresser how the short cut will react to your hair. Ask how much work is involved to achieve

Nonetheless, a bootleg recording found its way into apartheid South Africa and over the next two decades his music became a phenomenon and an

“Searching for Sugar Man” is this year’s Best Documentary Feature “Searching for Sugar Man,” this year’s Best Documentary Feature, tells the celebrated true story of musician Rodriguez who is considered “the greatest ’70s rock icon who never was.” Rodriguez was discovered in a Detroit bar in the late 1960s by two celebrated producers who were struck by his soulful melodies and prophetic lyrics. They recorded an album which was expected to secure

anthem for the people. The film follows two South African fans setting out to discover what really happened to their hero, leading them to a story more extraordinary than any of the existing myths about the artist known as Rodriguez. Special additional features include commentary with the director and musician Rodriguez, “The Making of Sugar Man” and

more. From Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, rated PG-13. This year’s Best Animated Film, “Brave,” has been out on Blu-ray and DVD for several months. The beautifully rendered film takes an original and thrilling journey back in time to the ancient, magical Highlands of Scotland and follows the story of a headstrong young girl named Merida, determined to create her own path in life and in the process she discovers the true meaning of bravery. The Bluray disc is loaded with all sorts of bonus features like “Angus” about Merida’s trusted companion, a mighty Clydesdale, “Wee Gaffes,” a video montage of bloopers and a look at director Mark Andrews’ love of Scotland, sword fighting and music. The feature “Bears” describes in detail how the art and design behind the bears in “Brave” was created and there are two animated shorts as well, “La Luna” and “The Legend of Mordu.” These animated shorts are also on the DVD along with Director Commentary. “Aye,” this is a “bonnie” film that will please young girls and boys as well as their parents. Rated G. Disney’s “Frankenweenie,” a film by Tim Burton, was one of my personal favorites, a horror tale told with heart and humor. It’s the story of a boy and his dog.

past horror films like “Godzilla,” “Frankenstein” and others. Great fun for kids and grown-ups, but too intense for younger viewers. The DVD includes an all new “Frankenweenie” short and more. Rated PG for thematic elements and some scary images and action. And last, but not least, “Wreck it Ralph” debuts on DVD on Mar. 5. This is the hilarious journey of a video game character setting out to prove to everyone that he is a true hero with a big heart. As Ralph explores exciting new worlds, he teams up with some new friends including a feisty little misfit named Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman). Ralph is voiced by John C. Reilly. Rated PG for some mild action violence. There are many extra features including “Paperman” which won the Academy Award for Best Cartoon Short this year.

15 Ways To Live Longer

Laugh More: Research shows

that laughter lowers levels of stress hormones and heightens the activity of the body’s natural defensive killer cells and antibodies.

Sleep Seven Hours: Sleeping more

than eight hours a night may reduce your life expectancy. A study in the Archives of General Psychiatry, US, found that people who get only six to seven hours sleep a night live longer. People who sleep eight hours or more, or less than four hours a night were shown to have a significantly higher death rate.

Live In The Country: People living in rural areas have a higher life expectancy than those living in cities. Watch Your Weight: Overeating is one of the main causes of ageing and increases the risk of heart disease and cancers of the colon, womb, gall bladder, ovaries and breast.

Stimulate Your Mind: Brain cells

work together, so learning new skills improves your brain function generally. ‘Whatever your age, ongoing mental stimulation will keep your brain building new spines on the dendrites of your brain cells,’ says Dr Thomas Crook, author of The Memory Cure

B e Optimistic:

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in the US found that optimistic people live about 12 years longer than pessimistic ones.

Never smoke again: The earlier you give up the better. Because the damage caused by smoking is cumulative, the longer a person smokes the greater the risk of developing a smoking-related disease, such as lung cancer, heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Some 120,000 deaths a year are attributable to smoking. Be Friends With Your Mother: A study by the Harvard Medical School

increases the risk of heart disease and cancer. Enjoy Chocolate : Research from the Harvard School of Public Health found that people who eat a moderate amount of chocolate live longer than those who eat sweets three or more times a week, and those who never touch sweets. Chocolate contains chemicals called phenols that are thought to protect against heart disease and cancer.

Play Games and Go Shopping: As you

get older, playing games or going shopping could be just as good for your health as physical exercise, according to a Harvard University study. The key to good health, conclude the researchers, is doing what you enjoy and feeling good about yourself.

per cent of cancers are diet related, according to the American Institute for Cancer Research. Eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day to reduce your risk of cancer of the lung, digestive tract, bowel, bladder and breast.

Enjoy Tea: Green and ordinary black tea pack the same amount of antioxidants and have equal benefits. Harvard researchers found that drinking one cup of black tea a day cuts heart disease risk dramatically. Relax :

Try a relaxation technique such as yoga or meditation, both of which are proven to help alleviate stress. Relaxation reduces blood pressure and helps reduce stress-related conditions such as depression.

Originally written for the Desert Sentinel

Between 1893 and 1913 when I came back to the desert to live, I was mostly in Minnesota, with a very adventurous two years in Alaska during the gold rush days of 1900, lived with the Eskimos awhile, then a stay with 2,500 Sioux Indians on the Dakota prairies, down to Cuba before the Spanish American war ended, over to the Isle of Pines in [the] Caribbean Sea, then lived some time in New York City, St. Louis, Boston, Seattle, back to Alaska and other places, as I have a roving disposition. President Theodore Roosevelt appointed me postmaster of Sierra Madre—[the] next move [was] to Pasadena. All went well and the family reassembled and joined together, pooling resources to buy large orange ranches near Riverside. In 1913 they froze. All the combined life accumulations were swept away in the few hours of undreamed-of freezing weather. We lost about $80,000, and there was nothing left. Also during that year some members of the family died. It was a tragic period. Conditions in California were bad as a result of the general freeze. Work was scarce and wages low. However, I got a job at $10 per week. Later, thinking to better myself, I went to Idaho, ran an amusement park for the street railroad, operated a menagerie, was deputy sheriff, etc., and ended as a newspaper reporter on the largest newspaper in Idaho. There were more opportunities there than in California, but when it started to snow I became quite unhappy, because in Alaska I had experienced weather 65 below zero, together with enough snow to last a lifetime. One day a letter came from Bob Carr in California, temporarily living at Banning. Bob was a successful

Carr and had a colorful background of living with Sioux Indians, cowboy, prospector, soldier, newspaper reporter. He was an outdoor type. Bob wrote, “We can each take up a homestead of Government land on the desert, no water, no roads, no rain, no neighbors, but we do not have to pay any rent. We can eat rabbits, write a few stories, buy a cow, the cow will have a calf, and in time we will be in the cattle business.” I wired him, “O.K., I will join you.” Within a week I got off the train in Banning, had supper with Bob and his wife, Stella. That night we boarded another train for the desert. Banning, by the way, at that time was little more than [a] R.R. depot, a livery stable, and [a] half-dozen stores. The train stopped only long enough for us to get off at 2 a.m. in the desert, then disappeared down the track towards Indio in a swirl of dust.

particular water tank, commenting, “There is nothing there.” He was right. Just a water tank and a very small depot with the name Palm Springs painted on a white board. He further explained that Palm Springs was a small Indian village with a post office and a dozen white families five miles to the south. When the fading lights of the train left us in utter darkness, I was quite surprised to recognize that this very spot was where I had stood as a boy in 1893 when first setting foot in California. After searching the sky for the North Star, we trudged off into the unknown desert, setting our course east of north. There was no road. We had a canteen of water, crackers, bread, cheese, sardines, bologna, and a tin pail for coffee. But no fry pan or other dishes, and no blankets. No other equipment. It was October and chilly, so [we] kept warm by walking until the sun was up and warm, then lay down and slept. Daylight disclosed one very small wooden shack in a sandy clearing. Smoke issued from a tin pipe thrust through the roof, so we walked that way. Miss Hilda Gray, a cheerful person, greeted us at the door and praised the desert from her few months’ experience as a homesteader. She said that within the 10,000 acres round about were a few other homestead shacks, but too widely scattered to be seen from here. She mentioned Jack Riley, the MacCargers, the three Green families, Coolidge, Conway, Grandma Riley, Thieson, all of whom we later met. Then followed in closely, the names coming to mind, of Joe Bonhorn, Mike Driscol, Bill Riley, Thumb, Sweetingham, Dana, Bill Anderson, Ford Beebe, Walter Woods as pioneer settlers. Swanson, Ridings, Harding, Tex Barkay, Hicks, Edwards, Ferris, Mussen, Charlie Tipton, Robert MacDonald, and a few others followed in this early group. Then in Mission Canyon 12 miles to the west were the Delongs; they had some gravity water, a cow, and two or three horses, which was homesteading deluxe as far as we desert people were concerned.

Tragedy, Sacrifice & Sorrow in Santa Cruz, California

A tragedy occurred in a small seaside town of California this week. We offer prayers to the families of all those who died by the events (shootings). No one can replace a mommy or daddy, a husband or wife, a daughter or son. When shocks like this occur we seek answers. There are some. The situation foreshadows the chaos yet to come in our world. The past months’ violent events in Santa Cruz are “signs of the times.” One age ending, another emerging. What is occurring in Santa Cruz (the microcosm) is a microcosm of the world today. Chaos is befalling humanity. From chaos, a new harmony emerges. Libra and Scorpio are prominent signs in the astrology chart of Santa Cruz. Scorpio is the sign of the warrior who, experiencing death, becomes the World Disciple. Disciples “lead the way” in understanding and using the tools of “warriorship” - a keen mind that grasps the wisdom teachings. We are, all of us, the disciple Arjuna, called to make a severe choice. Arjuna was not a pacifist. We are in a time of transition when the Forces of Materialism (outer-planetary origins) are manifesting. The reality is this ancient darkness is being “flushed out.” And this creates sacrifices. With multiple planets in Pisces (sacrificial death to save the world) those protecting us become the casualties. Such sorrow! The perpetrators are casualties, too. It’s an ancient dance of light vs. dark. As a town and city, as humanity facing this challenge, there are things we can do. We are to focus ourselves with the work of the future. It is not gun control. Do not be deceived. We are to understand who is truly attempting to control us. If we daily within ourselves unite head & heart & stand under the Will-toGood we are led to discernment, discrimination and to intelligence loving service. These bind us in the closest spiritual unity. Then, as a town (towns everywhere) we can together begin the Task of Reconstruction, building the new culture and civilization. This is the New Harmony. ARIES: Over the next several years you will sense a crisis has occurred, subtly and over time. Perhaps a religious or spiritual crisis, meaning a very deep connection with Universal Consciousness (God) may occur. There could be “contacts” with angels, past life remembrances, healing abilities. There could also be a sense of sadness and unusual sensitivity. Aiding others helps. TAURUS: You will use

March 6, 2013

technology to understand events in the world not allowed on regular news. You will understand the health effects of magnetic waves and attempt to teach people how to remain safe. Social interactions may feel difficult due to sensitivity. This also makes you uncomfortable in large groups. You remain somewhat secluded and hermetic. For protection. GEMINI: Motivated to help heal the world, with a deep love hardly anyone except esotericists recognize, you strive for a

recognizable place in the world to be of use for those in need. It’s important to recite a mantram that helps prove your security, worth and worthiness. “Because of my sensitivity, worth and value I see others’ wounds. I help to soothe and heal them.” Say this daily, hourly, upon arising and before sleep. CANCER: You feel the need to take another path from that taught to you as a child, to break with traditions, to find your own way. A spiritual crisis occurs taking you to the “razor’s edge.” You study the perennial philosophies, seeking explanations for all life’s realities. Astrology accomplishes this. Not to be believed, but to be observed. Someday… LEO: Have you read Dante’s Inferno? The story of life through the mysteries of birth, death, change, transgression, transformation, meeting the Dweller, seeking the Angel. Finding the Solar Angel after depths of crisis. These metaphors dominate our lives. They create a “tension” that creates “attention” within. When we suffer loss, an energy emerging from that loss leads to insights, to Life itself. What is your deep loss? VIRGO: Is there some wounding in regards to relationships or close intimate associations? You’re sensitized to the feelings of others. However, it most important to be anchored and grounded each day in practical life - where your true work is. Art helps you to discover more of yourself. Never be disappointed in or by others. LIBRA: It’s important to ask at times what is our deepest wound? Chiron, the wound, that when

healed we are able to help others, is related to our well-being, health and sense of harmony and balance - resources Libra must always have. What in your life is a stress? What imbalances you? Who are you separated from? To hide from these we often work overtime. Do you? SCORPIO: It seems each day is a crisis, large or small. Each day there are little “deaths” leading to constant questioning of self and then reorientation. Always you are rebuilding yourself with a dedicated sense of purpose. Many times Scorpios don’t think they have creative gifts. But actually, you are very creative. We see it in what you focus on each day. SAGITTARIUS: Are you feeling a sense of “otherness” these days? It’s important to act like the Solar Angel. To collect yourself and be still. Allow the light within you to grow. Then stand before your polar opposite. Let the waters ebb and flow. Stand where land and waters meet, the midway point. This is your anchoring place where your feet are set. Here magic is wrought. CAPRICORN: Take your time these days with thoughts and words, movement and activity. You want to express yourself clearly and correctly. You also must tend to health. Each day must begin with caring for yourself. Then you can extend yourself to the many in need at this time. Realize you have a special need now. Allow others to offer their gifts. AQUARIUS: You need a certain amount of financial comfort to accomplish your work in the world. At times you feel sad or deprived of affection and of specific resources that make you feel at home. Realizing these wounds you recognize others like yourself experiencing the same sadness. You turn to them in compassion, sharing all that you have. You wounds begin to heal. You become the teacher. PISCES: A new sense of self-awareness and discovery is occurring concerning you ability to work with your will to bring forth into the world what you need. Sometimes you feel the need to withdraw, sometimes to initiate new realities. Always you stand within a state of spiritual expectancy and sometimes you feel abandoned. Yet you carry on. Others seek your guidance. Careful at this time with headaches. Plant feverfew, borage and dandelion.

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 best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $280,642.21 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale.

Art BriefsSTAR Mata Ortiz - Pots On Exhibit at Cabot’s Pueblo Museum

Last weekend, Cabot’s Museum gave 263 tours, exceeding last year’s attendance. More than 160 pots and 65 pieces of Mata Ortiz jewelry were sold. This year a workshop was offered for guest to experiment with the clay and form their

own pot as well as painting using a few strands of hair. “Mata Ortiz was a hugely successful and gratifying event. We really enjoy hosting the artists and producing this community even

each year. We hope to add a similar event in the fall with a different group of artists that might include a potter, weaver and wood carver,” said John Mahoney, Vice President of Cabot’s Museum Foundation. Photos by Bruce Montgomery
