STRAIT ON ELVIS Lives and Lives and Lives
RUSTY STRAIT | SENIOR WRITER I t is a fact that three names always sell: Adolf Hitler, Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley.
Golden Smoothies Productions reiterated the point this past week, presenting "For the Love of Elvis" at Simpson Center in Hemet. To a loud and enthusiastic audience (mostly boomers or seniors) more than a dozen energetic singers paraded across the stage in enough glittering togs that would leave a Vegas Chorus girl gasping in awe.
Opening with "That's All Right Mama" through "How Great Thou Art," the performers took a fifteen minute break and rolled on into "Devil in Disguise" plus a number of other Elvis hits, ending the show with "Memories."
All in all it was akin to an Elvis Reunion. After 29 of the King’s hits, you felt like you were at a rock concert with howling teenagers and girls tossing their bras to the mighty one. But these were not teenagers. There were a number of 80 and 90 year old Elvis fans who seemed to never forget their idol.
There were some exceptional moments, led by

Aaron Craig who opened the show, belting out Elvis gems from a wheelchair. With a voice as clear as a bell, he belied his senior age and garnered the greatest ovations of the evening.
Amy Chambers lit up the occasion with a peppy rendition of "Spanish Eyes" and "It's Now or Never."
Staging was fast paced and precise. Director Denise Schwab and Assistant Director Dianne Richard seemed to be all over the room, checking to assure clear sound. Miller-Jones Mortuary & Crematory sponsored the event. Something to be said about Miller-Jones, they are not just in the business of the dead. They are always contributing to the community in any number of ways and are greatly appreciated by the San Jacinto Valley for their efforts to make us a better community.
One would think that
ELVIS: To Las Vegas and Back by Donna Beason. | Courtesy Illustration
the name of the performers would indicate going back to Lawrence Welk or Swing and Sway With Sammy Kaye. Not on your life. Their bodies may show a few wrinkles but folks, they swing like rock stars.
You might want to take in their country western show "The Magic Jukebox" on June 28 at Simpson Center. They promise more than just toe-tapping, this middle-aged and beyond troop. Just sayin’.

eight years, we’ve been able to give back over $40,000.” Holt explains that scholarships are for women who are returning to school, who’ve maybe been a stayat-home mom for a while and are ready to advance their educational goals.
Guest speakers shared their journeys, one of whom was keynote speaker, Chef Rosie O’Connor – an award-winning chef who has appeared on numerous Food Network television shows. She shared her story of overcoming obstacles to get where she is today, saying, “I started my life again at the age of forty...it’s never too late. I wanted to start enjoying this life, so I surrounded myself with people who are passionate and inspiring.”
An attendee expressed how she felt inspired by the women’s stories, saying, “I love how the stories are so different, but the message is the same-finding your identity, living your purpose. I was super inspired by Erica [London] and her story of turning survival into thriving, and the work she is doing with the youth.” “I want to be the woman that I needed as a girl,” says Holt. “The only way we’re going to have positive role

BASKETBALL Eagles Advance to Regional Final with Win Over Pasadena
The MSJC women’s basketball team advanced to the CCCAA Southern California Regional Final last Friday night with a second round play-off win over visiting Pasadena City College 58-47. The Eagles led for nearly the entire game, but it was never a comfortable one as MSJC led 15-11 after the opening period and 27-22 at the half. Both teams struggled to find offensive rhythm in the game as neither team shot over 25% in the contest from the field. MSJC was able to connect on 6 of 19 three pointers. The Eagles did control the boards throughout the evening though as they out rebounded the Lancers 65-45 and hauled in 27 offensive rebounds.
Pasadena made things very interesting in the closing minutes of the third quarter as they rallied to tie the score at 41 a piece at the end of three. MSJC SPORTS | CONTRIBUTED

The Lancers also scored the first two points of the fourth quarter to take their only lead of the game at 43-41, before the Eagles answered by out scoring them 17-4 the rest of the way. First Team All-State and Inland Empire Athletic Conference Player of the Year Haylei Janssens scored a game high 18 points to lead the MSJC offense, she also grabbed 8 rebounds. Third Team AllState selection Deja Blue scored 16 as she recorded a double double.
Blue also had a team high 10 rebounds in the win. De’Adra Ross added 7 rebounds and 3 blocked shots for the Eagles while Kiana Castello came off the bench to add 7 big points. Keiara Barton played a pivotal role for the MSJC defense as she spent the evening holding two time All-State forward Dariel Johnson of the Lancers to 6 points in the game. The win advanced the Eagles to the State Sweet 16 and the Southern California Regional Final on Saturday March 7th when they travel to Mt. San Antonio. MSJC improved their record on the year to 27-2, Mt. SAC will enter Saturday’s contest with a season mark of 22-7, they were the regular season champions of the South Coast North Conference.

If you’re like many Americans, your car is your lifeline. When it’s in need of repair, being able to cough up the cash to keep it running is critical.
A new survey finds that U.S. consumers spent an average of nearly $2,000 on vehicle repairs and maintenance in the last five years, with millennials and generation Z being hardest hit by the costs. The 2019 Ally Financial survey, conducted online by The Harris Poll, found that while adults 55 and older spent $1,654 on average for vehicle maintenance and repairs in the past five years, millennials and generation Z paid an average of $2,334 during the same time-frame.
Ally’s survey results come on the heels of research from the Federal Reserve, which found that nearly four in 10 adults would not be able to cover unexpected expenses of $400 without selling something or going into debt.
If you’re concerned about the cost of a surprise car repair leaving you running on empty, consider these tips from Ally Financial. STATEPOINT | CONTRIBUTED
SAVE
An emergency savings fund can prepare you for unexpected car repair bills. Another recent Ally survey found that two-thirds of 18- to 24-year-olds haven’t established any type of emergency savings fund, compared to approximately half of all other adults. Over time, setting aside even $10 each month can potentially protect you against having to borrow or

incur debt.
STAY PROTECTED
A vehicle service contract (VSC), similar to an extended warranty, is a protection plan that covers vehicle repairs costs outside of the manufacturer’s warranty, and may be easier to budget for than a large unexpected bill from the mechanic’s shop. Unfortunately, many people aren’t taking advantage of VSCs. The Ally survey found that only 21 percent of Americans have purchased one in the last five years.
Before committing to a particular service contract, shop around to ensure that you’re working with a reputable company that offers services at locations convenient for you. Also look into additional benefits.
For example, Ally’s FlexCoverage includes 24/7 roadside assistance, towing, trip interruption protection, (e.g. reimbursement for room and board if your car troubles require an overnight stay) or rental car reimbursement. While these reimbursements are usually capped at a certain dollar amount, they can alleviate some of the burden BE PROACTIVE
Maintenance issues that go unattended can lead to heftier repair bills down the road. Schedule timely oil changes, brake pad replacements and tire rotation, and mark your calendar to check fluid levels like coolant and windshield washer fluid. If flashing lights appear on your dashboard, check your owner’s manual and contact your dealer or mechanic to see what the problem could be.
“Unfortunately, too many Americans are just one repair bill away from being forced to make tough financial decisions,” says Mark Manzo, president of Insurance at Ally Financial.
“But proactive strategies can offer peace of mind and protect your wallet.”

Crisis de coronavirus disminuye en China y aumenta en EEUU

Los iraníes hicieron acopio de suministros médicos, los italianos pidieron la colaboración de doctores retirados y los surcoreanos se prepararon para destinar miles de millones de dólares a los esfuerzos de ayuda, mientras la epidemia por un nuevo coronavirus seguía creciendo el martes en todo el mundo. Los focos infecciosos en Oriente Medio, Europa y Corea del Sur contrastaban con el optimismo en China, donde miles de pacientes recuperados regresaban a sus casas. Un creciente brote en Estados Unidos llevó a las escuelas y metros a realizar tareas de desinfección, se presionó para la búsqueda de una vacuna, y aumentaron los temores por la vulnerabilidad de los internos en residencias de ancianos.
“Hemos avanzado a un nuevo escenario en la lucha”, señaló Dow Constantine, máximo responsable político del condado de King, Washington. Los seis fallecidos por COVID-19, la enfermedad causada por el virus, en Estados Unidos estuvieron en el estado de Washington, y Constantine dijo que su condado estaba comprando un hotel para convertirlo en hospital para pacientes aislados. Los brotes en Corea del Sur, Italia, Irán y Japón son la mayor preocupación de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), dijo su presidente Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. El KEN MORITSUGU|AP virus tiene una capacidad única de transmisión comunitaria, pero podría ser contenido con las medidas adecuadas, apuntó.
“Estamos en territorio inexplorado”, agregó Tedros.
Corea del Sur registró su mayor incremento de casos diario, con 851 nuevos pacientes, en su mayoría dentro y en los alrededores de la ciudad suroriental de Daegu, donde hay un brote infeccioso ligado a una iglesia local. En total, 5.186 personas dieron positivo por COVID-19 en todo el país.
En la capital, Seúl, comenzaron a operar centros en los que la población puede someterse a las pruebas del virus sin salir del auto. Allí, los trabajadores, vestidos con trajes de protección blancos de pies a cabeza, se inclinaban sobre los vehículos con hisopos bucales, una medida que busca limitar el contacto con posibles portadores de la enfermedad. Los soldados se desplegaron por toda la ciudad para rociar calles y callejones con desinfectante.
El número de víctimas mortales en el país aumentó a 28, y el presidente, Moon Jae-in, quien calificó el brote de “una grave situación”, apuntó que su gobierno presionará para inyectar más de 30 billones de wones (25.000 millones de dólares) para financiar clínicas, ayudar a pequeños negocios y otras medidas relacionadas con el virus. Esta iniciativa necesita la aprobación del parlamento.
“El país entero ha iniciado en guerra con una enfermedad contagiosa”, manifestó.
En la mayoría de los mercados asiáticos, las acciones subieron por segundo día luego de que el índice Dow Jones Industrial Average ganó cerca de 1.300 puntos, o un 5%. Los ministros de Finanzas y los responsables de los bancos mundiales del Grupo de los Siete países más industrializados del mundo iban a reunirse el martes por teléfono para discutir su respuesta al brote.
“El factor miedo sigue siendo muy elevado”, dijo Kirk Hartman, presidente de Wells Fargo Asset Management.
En China, el conteo de nuevos casos volvió a bajar el martes, con apenas 125 nuevos contagios, la cifra más baja en seis semanas. Pero el gigante asiático sigue siendo de lejos la nación más afectada, con un total de 80.151 enfermos y 2.943 muertos. El virus se ha detectado en al menos 70 países con 90.000 casos y 3.100 víctimas mortales. El embajador de China en Naciones Unidas dijo que el país estaba ganando su batalla contra el COVID-19.
“No estamos lejos de la victoria”, declare Zhang Jun.

Crece temor en EEUU al reportarse 9na muerte por coronavirus SEATTLE, EE.UU.
La tensión iba en aumento el martes en Estados Unidos al reportarse la novena muerte por el coronavirus en el país y abundaban las dudas en el Congreso sobre la capacidad del gobierno de aplicar las pruebas suficientes para enfrentar la crisis.
Todos los fallecimientos — incluyendo uno de los recientes, que ocurrió la semana pasada pero recién ahora se descubre que fue debido al virus — han ocurrido en el estado de Washington, y todas menos dos de las víctimas vivían en una instalación asistencial en un suburbio de Seattle. La cantidad de casos en Estados Unidos abarca por lo menos 14 estados y asciende a 100, de los cuales 27 están en el estado de Washington.
En ese estado el departamento de salud local informó mediante su website que hay nueve fallecimientos: ocho en el condado King y uno en el condado Snohomish.
En la capital del país, las autoridades tomaban medidas en diversas instancias.
La Reserva Federal anunció su mayor reducción de tasas de interés en más de una década para tratar de inocular a la economía estadounidense. En Wall Street, las acciones por un tiemGENE JOHNSON|AP

po subieron pero luego volvieron a bajar.
“Vimos una extensión más amplia del virus y por ende vimos un riesgo a la economía y decidimos actuar”, declaró el presidente de la Reserva Federal.
Además, la Administración de Alimentos y Medicinas trató de aliviar una escasez de máscaras higiénicas al aprobar que los trabajadores de la salud usen máscaras industriales, de las que usan los albañiles para no respirar polvo y sucio.
En el Congreso, legisladores expresaron escepticismo de que el gobierno pueda facilitar kits de pruebas a todo el país antes de finalizar la semana. Las autoridades habían dicho que los laboratorios podrán aplicar un millón de pruebas.
Pero las pruebas hasta ahora han sufrido tropiezos y demoras y “me dicen los profesionales de la salud que esa meta no es realista”, expresó la senadora demócrata Patty Murray del estado de Washington.
El director de la Administración de Alimentos y Medicinas, el doctor Stephen Hahn, declaró que esa agencia ha estado trabajando con una compañía privada para enviar 2.500 kits a laboratorios antes del fin de semana. Cada kit sirve para realizar unas 500 pruebas, indicó el funcionario.
EEUU reduce tasas de interés como respuesta al coronavirus WASHINGTON, EE.UU.
La Reserva Federal de Estados Unidos redujo el martes sorpresivamente su tasa de interés de referencia a fin de estimular la economía de cara a los efectos nocivos del coronavirus.
El presidente del banco central estadounidense, Jerome Powell, señaló que el brote de la enfermedad “presenta riesgos en constante evolución a la actividad económica”.
El virus “probablemente afectará la actividad económica, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional, por un buen tiempo”, señaló Powell en conferencia de prensa tras anunciar la reducción de las tasas.
Es la primera vez que la institución reduce las tasas de interés desde el año pasado, cuando las bajó en tres oportunidades. Es también la primera vez que el banco reduce las tasas de manera MARTIN CRUTSINGER|AP externa a sus reuniones regulares desde la crisis financiera global del 2008.
El anuncio es indicio de la inquietud de esa institución hacia el coronavirus, que ha deprimido la actividad económica alrededor del mundo y podría provocar una recesión. Sin embargo incluso antes de la reducción de las tasas, varios economistas habían advertido que ese tipo de medidas no son la respuesta idónea para una crisis de salud mundial.
Una reducción de las tasas de interés puede animar a la gente y a las empresas a pedir dinero prestado y a gastar, lo que puede estimular la actividad económica, pero no puede resolver directamente los problemas ocasionados por la enfermedad, como el cierre de fábricas, la cancelación de vuelos o la paralización del envío de suministros.
Con la reducción la tasa de interés de referencia en Estados Unidos queda en un rango de entre 1% y 1,25%. “La Reserva Federal obviamente no puede luchar directamente contra el virus reduciendo las tasas de interés, pero la esperanza es que pueda frustrar los potenciales efectos nocivos sobre los mercados financieros que podrían agravar el impacto económico del brote”, estimó Eric Winograd, economista de la compañía AB.
En su conferencia de prensa después de anunciar la reducción de las tasas, se le preguntó a Powell qué había cambiado desde la semana pasada, cuando funcionarios de la Fed dijeron que no veían razón para bajar las tasas aun cuando los mercados financieros sufrían sus peores caídas desde la crisis financiera mundial del 2008. Respondió el titular de la Fed: “Hemos visto un contagio más generalizado del virus. Vimos un riesgo a la

unos 300.000 soldados y voluntarios para enfrentar la enfermedad. La preocupación se extiende al liderazgo del país, y algunos de sus miembros contrajeron el coronavirus. El líder supremo de la República Islámica, el ayatolá Ali Jamenei, llevaba guantes desechables durante un acto en el que plantó un árbol por el Día del Árbol, que se celebrará pronto.
“Todo lo que ayude a la salud pública e impida la expansión de la enfermedad es bueno, y lo que ayude a extenderla es pecado”, dijo Jamenei el martes.
El jefe de la judicatura iraní, Ebrahim Raisi, dijo que algunos estaban almacenando material médico para su propio beneficio, e instó a la fiscalía a no mostrar “piedad con los acaparadores”.
“Acaparar artículos sanitarios es

economía y decidimos actuar”.
“Llegamos a la conclusión de que era el momento adecuado de actuar para apoyar la economía”, añadió Powell.
Reconoció que son limitadas las medidas que el banco central puede tomar, pero en todo caso opinó que la sorpresiva reducción de las tasas le dará “un significativo impulso a la economía” aunque expresó que “la solución definitiva a este problema vendrá de otros, específicamente los profesionales de la salud”.
Paul Ashworth, economista en Capital Economics, opinó: “Ante la turbulencia de los mercados financieros y al aumentar los indicios de que el coronavirus se está convirtiendo en una pandemia, el cambio de parecer de la Fed es totalmente comprensible”.
Ashworth destacó que el hecho de que el banco central en su comunicado repitió la frase usada en otras ocasiones de que “actuará conforme lo considere apropiado” refleja que la institución podría aplicar otra reducción de las tasas quizás en dos semanas cuando tiene programa su próxima reunión.
Powell, en referencia al impacto económico que ha tenido el virus, declaró que “hemos escuchado de los problemas en el sector de viajes, en el sector de los hoteles, ese tipo de cosas ... suponemos que eso jugar con la vida de las personas y eso no puede ignorarse”, señaló Raisi.
En Italia, el número de casos positivos siguió subiendo hasta los 2.036 y las autoridades explicaron que podrían tardar hasta dos semanas en saber si las medidas adoptadas, incluyendo la cuarentena decretada en 11 poblaciones del norte, estaban funcionando.
En Estados Unidos, los pacientes infectados con COVID-19 sobrepasaron los 100 en al menos 11 estados. El presidente, Donald Trump, y su gobierno se reunieron con ejecutivos de la industria farmacéutica el lunes para discutir cómo de rápida podría ser la búsqueda de una vacuna.
Más de 90.000 personas se han infectado en todo el mundo y 3.100 fallecieron a consecuencia del virus. La enfermedad está presente ya en al menos 70 naciones. Ucrania fue la última en unirse a la lista al reportar su primer caso.
continuará y probablemente empeorará”.
Google le pidió a sus 8.000 empleados en Dublín, donde tiene su sede europea, que trabajen desde casa. La prensa irlandesa reportó que un empleado de Google está siendo examinado por la posibilidad de que tenga el coronavirus. La compañía simplemente emitió un breve comunicado avisando que está tomando las medidas necesarias para proteger a su personal.
El promedio industrial Dow Jones, que había bajado 356 puntos antes del anuncio de la Fed, subía apenas modestamente una media hora después. Pero el día anterior subió 1.300 puntos, su mayor alza porcentual desde el 2009.
Casi todos los sectores del índice Standard & Poor’s 500 iban en alza, aunque una notable excepción eran los bancos.
Los bancos dependen del pago de intereses sobre préstamos y esos intereses ahora disminuirán gracias a la medida de la Fed. Bank of America y JPMorgan Chase bajaban casi 3%.
Horas antes, el Grupo de los Siete países más industrializados prometió usar “todas las herramientas apropiadas” para luchar contra el contagio del coronavirus pero no anunció medida alguna inmediata. El G7 “está dispuesto a tomar medidas, inclusive medidas fiscales de ser apropiado, para ayudar en la respuesta al virus y apoyar a la economía”, anunció la agrupación en un comunicado.
La frustración por la falta de acceso a las pruebas para detectar el coronavirus creció el martes mientras las autoridades del gobierno de Donald Trump trataban de asegurar a los legisladores escépticos que Estados Unidos tendrá en cuestión de días capacidad para realizar 1 millón de pruebas.
“Escucho de personas que están enfermas y que quieren hacerse pruebas y no saben a dónde ir”, dijo la senadora demócrata Patty Murray, de Washington, a un grupo de altos funcionarios del gobierno. La congresista dijo que la situación en su estado es “inaceptable” y que las “familias merecen saber cuándo van a llegar las pruebas”.
Retrasos y errores han dejado a Estados Unidos detrás de otras naciones en la realización de miles de pruebas.
Stephen Hahn, director de la RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR|AP Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (FDA, por sus siglas en inglés), respondió que su agencia ha estado trabajando con una empresa privada para conseguir hasta 2.500 kits de pruebas para los laboratorios para finales de semana. Cada kit debería permitir a un laboratorio realizar unas 500 pruebas, dijo Hahn. Dicho plan funcionaría para 1,25 millones de pruebas.
Pero cuando los miembros de la Comisión de Salud, Educación, Trabajo y Pensiones del Senado preguntaron si el gobierno podía cumplir el objetivo que él mismo se impuso, los funcionarios de salud evitaron hacer promesas difíciles.
“Soy muy optimista, pero quiero mantenerme humilde”, dijo la doctora Anne Schuchat, de los Centros para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC).
Expertos independientes no se consideraron capaces de evaluar si el gobierno de Trump cumplirá su objetivo, pero reconocieron a las agencias de salud por el esfuerzo.
“Los sectores público y privado en Estados Unidos tienen la capacidad para producir y distribuir un enorme volumen de pruebas, y espero que alcancen su objetivo”, dijo el doctor Tom Frieden, exjefe de los CDC y actual presidente de Resolve to Save Lives, una organización sin fines de lucro que trabaja evitando epidemias.
Los CDC claramente están avanzando en la dirección correcta, dijo por su parte John Auerbach, presidente de Trust for America’s Health.
Nancy Foster, de la American Hospital Association, recomendó a las personas con posibles síntomas que contacten a su médico antes de visitar una clínica. Esto evitará la exposición de otros pacientes. El virus ha infectado a más de 90.000 personas en todo el mundo y matado a más de 30.000.
