From Desert Star WireWASHINGTON, D.C. – The

U.S. federal government has partially shut down after Congress failed to fund its work amid a Republican drive to defund the Obamacare healthcare program. President Barack Obama addressed U.S. troops to boost their confidence amid the crisis.

The Congress left the government without funding as competing spending measures

bounced back and forth between the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and Democratic-led Senate late into Monday night.

The partial shutdown will leave some essential government functions, including national security and public safety, intact. It’s not clear how long the situation will continue, with lawmakers expected to take further votes.

If the shutdown persists, it will affect an estimated 800,000 of public workers, who will be forced into unpaid leave as the government would be unable to fund their employment. National parks and most federal offices are closed, as is almost all of NASA, except for Mission Control in Houston.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture website went blank on Tuesday, leaving only a warning

that it’s not available due to the lapse in federal government funding. The shutdown also affects the Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo — going as far as shutting off the zoo’s popular “panda cam.”

The crisis will initially cost the U.S. economy at least $300 million a day in lost economic output, warned Bloomberg, citing IHS Inc., a Massachusetts-based economic forecast company.

President Obama assumed his role as commander-in-chief to address U.S. troops around the world. He said Congress had failed American soldiers in causing the government shutdown. He pledged that the White House would do everything possible to ensure that troops currently on active duty would receive everything they needed.

The budgetary breakdown raised fresh concerns about

PALM SPR INGS – Throughout its 30 years of service in the communities of the Coachella Valley, dedicated volunteers, donors, and sponsors have been the lifeblood of Desert AIDS Project. During a quarter-century of Desert AIDS Walks, they have helped to raise almost $6.25 million from friends and families, as well as through significant sponsorships from community partnerships.

Stepping forward once again to show their support as top fundraisers, local heroes

including Patrick Jordan, Keith Markovitz, Rick Draughon, Barbara Keller, Mark Anton and Linda Stevens invite you to join the fun at the 26th Desert AIDS Walk, presented by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, beginning at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19, at Ruth Hardy Park.

Walgreens, which has an in-house pharmacy at D.A.P. for client convenience, will be the Walk’s Health and Wellness Fair presenting sponsor. Other sponsors include Pride Card

Services, Desert Regional Medical Center and Eisenhower Medical Center.

Participants can stroll through the fairgrounds and enjoy some early-morning coffee and muffins from Koffi before warming up for the Walk with Kristin Olson of Urban Yoga. Once a few calories are burned on the Walk, there will be sandwiches from Subway and tempting ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s back at Ruth Hardy Park.

Health Benefits for All ArriveBy Janice Gough

The open enrollment period mandated by the federal law titled the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as “Obamacare,” began Oct. 1. If you have no health insurance, you must enroll by Jan. 1 in the California Health Benefit Exchange (HBEX) — rebranded, for user-friendly purposes, Covered California

(coveredca.com) — to avoid a penalty for not having a health plan. The penalty will be collected by the IRS.

Two key features are offered by HBEX: guaranteed issue and tax credits.

Guaranteed Issue: This feature will help many of those who could possibly be declined by a private healthcare plan. Even if your health plan was issued

with a surcharge, state exchange plans may save you money. The question that you must consider: How long will there be a savings?

In all 15 states, which already have this type of government model, healthcare rates are the highest in the country. Rates did not start out high, however; as claims for those with medical conditions grew, the cost of the plan grew. Once you have

switched to the government plan, you must be “medically approved” to go back to a private plan. If your rate is reasonably the same, you might consider staying with the private plan.

As less-healthy patients leave your private health plan for cheaper rates and move to Obamacare, claims will go down and you may see premium reductions. Why? Because of the Medical Loss Ratio (MLR). Under the Patient Protection Act, an insurance company must pay out 80 percent of its income for claims. If claims go down, so should your premium.

Tax Credits: For those with lower incomes, premium subsidies are available. These tax credits are on a sliding scale based on income.

An eligible individual is a taxpayer whose modified adjusted gross income is between 138 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level. Based on 2013 federal poverty level guidelines, to be eligible for a subsidy, a single individual’s income could range from $11,490 (100 percent subsidized) to $45,960, and a couple’s income could range from $15,510 (100 percent subsidized) to $62,040. Proof of income must be submitted in order to receive credits.

For more info on healthcare rates and subsidies available to you, contact Janice Gough, Gough Insurance & Financial Services, 650-342-7744 or janice@goughinsurance.com.

Is D.C. Dysfunction Here to Stay?By Kevin Powell

Once again the greatest country on the planet faces a government shutdown. Depending on your political ideologies, there’s plenty of blame to go around.

Democrats point the finger at angry Republicans who are trying to seek revenge for losing the past two Presidential elections. Republicans seem bent on doing all they can to derail the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare). The President has said he’s not willing to negotiate on any points that deal with the country’s ability to pay our bills. Who’s right? Probably no one. Who’s wrong? Probably every elected politician.

The truth is we’ve known this deadline was looming for months. Just like we knew it was looming in 2011 and 2012. Stock markets have dropped every time we’ve been pushed to the brink. Yet no one wants to step up to the plate to try and avert these potential disasters. We didn’t elect Congressional leaders to merely point fingers. There’s real work that needs to be done yet there doesn’t seem to be many people willing to roll up their sleeves and tackle this problem once and for all.

Why can’t we implement a longer term solution to the debt ceiling? There is no doubt Congress will increase the debt limit-eventually. They’ve done it nearly 30 times in the past 30 years. It should not be that difficult to devise a plan where the debt ceiling increases as a percentage of GDP, tax revenues . . . whatever.

What’s truly frightening about the whole mess is that while politicians are feuding, our national debt is soaring-nearly $17 TRILLION today. That’s an increase of roughly seventy

percent over the past five years. It’s the largest increase during any President’s term. The government has run deficits of more than $1 trillion annually for the past four years. Also the first time in history that’s happened. Thankfully, the deficit is projected to be a little

less than $1 trillion in 2013. That’s greatly due to the Sequester and higher tax revenues that have been collected.

Spending has to be reined in. Taxes revenues have to increase and the best way to do that is to create new jobs. The clock is

ticking and the time is slipping away for our families and the good ole’ USA.

One Insurance Industry Expert Weighs In on Obamacare

Vibrant Weekend for the Arts

By Theda Kleinhans ReichmanAs children we grew up

on Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Often the plots were, indeed, grim as princesses like Snow White had to cope with evil queens and stepmothers who were not so loving.

Actually the Evil Queen in “Snow White” was a pretty horrible, albeit beautiful, woman who was out to “do in” the more beautiful Snow White. In 1938, Walt Disney brought this classic fairy tale to the screen is his first full-length animated feature.

Eventually, we all grow up and read fairy tales to our own children. Now, thanks to ABC-TV, we can be kids again watching “Once Upon a Time,” which is launching its third season. (Seasons one and two are available on DVD.)

In the first season we met the residents of Storybrooke. The Evil Queen in the present day is Regina, the town’s mayor. She has an adopted son named Henry who is the real son of Emma Swan. The characters have lives in the present as well as hidden fairy tale lives from the past.

In the second season the curse is broken, magic has arrived and many new characters are unleashed. A new “reality” settles over the town of Storybrooke as old loyalties are tested and love and sacrifice will set the stage for the “ultimate battle between good and evil.”

While new fairy tale characters enter the scene old ones are still there, like Robert Carlyle as Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold, Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White/Mary Margaret and Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan.

If you are a fan of the show and have followed the blend of fairy tale past and present-day

reality this will all make sense. If you missed any of the 22 segments, now is the chance to catch up with them on DVD. The five-disc boxed set has bonus features like “A Fractured Family Tree,” which explores the tangled magical genealogy behind the

series’ fairy tale family, and “Sincerely Hook” which sets sail with Colin O’Donoghue (Killian Jones/Capt. Hook).

The set also includes “Girl Power,” about Storybrooke’s fearless female characters, who fight for love and justice between

the realms of magic and reality. And there’s “The Fairest Bloopers of Them All,” which will have you laughing out loud; plus deleted scenes and audio commentaries. So settle in with over 900 minutes of “Once Upon A Time” magic!

RANCHO MIRAGE – Famously edgy stand-up comedian Lewis Black is gearing up to incite laughter with an unforgettable night at The Show, at Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa, on Friday, Oct. 25.

Black’s comedy routines are known for providing a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment: he yells so you don’t have to. He’s also known as a passionate performer — a rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh itself silly while making compelling points about the absurdity of today’s world.

The comedian, who was born in Silver Spring, Md., and eventually settled in New York City, became the playwright-in-residence at the West Bank Café’s Downstairs Theatre Bar. He also oversaw the development of more than 1,000 plays, including works by Aaron Sorkin, creator of television’s “The West Wing.”

Black performs over 200 nights a year to sold-out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and the U.S. He is one of the few entertainers to have enjoyed

sold-out dates at many renowned theatres, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. In August 2007, he was the first stand-up comedian to ever perform in concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

Lewis goes onstage at The Show at 9 p.m. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at www.hotwatercasino.com/theshow or in-person at the Essentials Gift Shop at the Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa.

Sheryl Crow Winging to Indio

By Robert KinslerIndie champions Mazzy

Star, Americana troupe The Fallen Stars and U.K. legends New Model Army are featured on groundbreaking new album releases.

Artist: Mazzy StarTitle: Seasons Of Your Day (Rhymes of an Hour Records)Listen if you enjoy: Cowboy Junkies, My Bloody Valentine, Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions, Beach House

Tell me more: It is so exciting to hear new music from the talented duo of singer Hope Sandoval and guitarist David Roback that it’s easy to lose sight of how truly great the songs on “Seasons Of Your Day” really are. Mazzy Star’s fourth full-length album is

the group’s first new album in 17 years and was truly worth the wait. The songs here are more straightforward, with less reverb obfuscating Sandoval’s haunting soprano. Roback’s freewheeling acoustic guitar play (including some impressive slide work) is layered in dreamy arrangements, with pedal steel, light percussion and keyboards paint ing a melancholy

soundscape across the 10 tracks. The sparse “California” and beautiful title track explore the quiet corner of Mazzy Star’s world, while “Common Burn” showcases more tensile sonic terrain. The accessible and infectious folk rocker “Lay Myself Down” is simply a great listen. Information: http://www.eaglerockent.com/

Artist: The Fallen Stars

Title: Leaves on the Wind - Vol. 1: Still Flying (Kiss My Squirrel Music)Listen if you enjoy: Steve Earle, Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris

Tell me more: It’s not surprising that Joss Whedon’s groundbreaking 2002 TV show “Firefly” would inspire The Fallen Stars. Just as that influential series effortlessly blended science fiction and 19th century American West styles in each of its memorable episodes, Americana troupe The

Fallen Stars somehow blends traditional country influences by the likes of Gram Parsons with an emphasis on timeless songcraft that would be at home anywhere in the universe. “Leaves on the Wind - Vol. 1: Still Flying” is the beginning of an ambitious trek by The Fallen Stars to write and record a song centered around each of the 14 episodes from the show as well as one in sync with the subsequent 2005 film “Serenity.” Based on the first 5 songs featured on volume 1 of the project, The Fallen Stars’ quest is a good one. Information: http://www.thefallenstars.com/.

Artist: New Model ArmyTitle: Between Dog and Wolf (earMusic / Eagle Rock Entertainment)

Listen if you enjoy: Genesis, Porcupine Tree, Elbow

Tell me more: There are a range of rewarding performances and atmospheric textures across the latest disc from Bradford, United Kingdom export New Model Army (singer Justin Sullivan, drummer Michael Dean, keyboardist Dean White, guitarist Marshall Gill and bassist Ceri Monger). “Between Dog and Wolf” features 14 tracks built around arresting rhythms and artful

dynamics that recall other British giants including Peter Gabriel-era Genesis and modern day heroes Elbow. The sweeping “Seven Times,” hypnotic “Pull the Sun,” and introspective “Did You Make It Safe” are among the many standouts on a truly epic album. Information: www.NewModelArmy.org.

INDIO – Nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow will take the Special Events Center stage at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, Oct. 12.

Free-spirited, fearless and fierce, Crow has soared as a solo artist and has also performed duets with musical luminaries such as Sting and Mick Jagger. She has released seven studio albums, selling more than 35 million records worldwide.

Crow’s debut album, the seven-time platinum “Tuesday Night Music Club,” earned three

Grammys: Best New Artist, Record of the Year and, for the classic “All I Wanna Do,” Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. The album also featured “Strong Enough,” “Can’t Cry Anymore” and “Leaving Las Vegas.”

Crow unveiled her soul stylings on her seventh studio set, “100 Miles from Memphis.” Growing up that far away from the city in Kennett, Mo., Crow listened to the irresistible soul music emerging on Memphis-based radio in the late 1960s (Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett,

Booker T, Aretha Franklin) and early 1970s (Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Sly Stone) — all of it shaping the artist she is today.

A c a n c e r surv ivor, Crow is a passionate suppor te r o f a var ie ty o f e n v i ro n m e n t a l and health-related charities, including The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Natural Resources Defense Council and World Food Program. Her new single, “Easy,” is off her forthcoming Warner Music Nashville release out later this year.

Tickets for Crow’s 8 p.m. performance are available for $99, $89, $69 and $49 at the Fantasy Springs Box Office, via 800-827-2946 or online at fantasyspringsresort.com.

Sheryl Crow Winging to IndioSheryl Crow Winging to IndioMultiple Grammy Winner Brings Varied Stylings

October 2, 2013 www.desertstarweekly.com 6 DesertSTAR

PALM DESERT – The City of Palm Desert is proud to announce that Connie Golds and Theresa Maggio are recipients of the City’s 2013 ATHENA Awards. Maggio will receive the Corporate ATHENA Award and Golds the Entrepreneurial ATHENA Award.

A luncheon will be held in their honor on Wednesday, October 30, at 11:30 a.m. at Desert Willow Golf Resort. In addition, three deserving college students — Maria E. Haigh, Jenny Beelke, and Andrea Vargas — will be presented with ATHENA scholarships at the awards ceremony. The scholarships are provided by Burrtec Waste & Recycling Services, past ATHENA recipients and The Gas Company.

Golds and Maggio, two exceptional women, were selected as this year’s ATHENA honorees because they have achieved excellence in their respective fields, served the community in a meaningful

way, and assisted women in reaching their leadership potential — all criteria for an ATHENA Award nomination.

Connie Golds has combined inspired vision with hard work and dedication in the creation and operation of Desert Best Friend’s Closet.

The five-year-old nonprofit serves a vital function in the community by giving appropriate work attire to women and men who otherwise do not have access to needed clothing. Desert Best Friend’s Closet also provides prom dresses to disadvantaged high school girls and ball gowns to the wives of United States Marines, all at no charge.

Golds has a demonstrated history of commitment and service in Palm Desert and the Coachella Valley beyond her work as the president and co-founder of Desert Best Friend’s Closet. She serves on the Scholarship Committee of the Desert

Community Foundation and is a board member of Women Leaders Forum of the Desert.

Past service includes being a founding member of Sheltering Sisters, the auxiliary for Shelter from the Storm, as well as co-chair of the UCLA Alumni Scholarship Committee. She also served on the Board of Trustees for Marywood Palm Valley School and volunteered for 13 years as a Girl Scout Leader, including three years as district “cookie coordinator.”

Golds’s contributions to the community have been recognized by multiple organizations. She received, on behalf of her organization, the 2010 Community Service Award from the Palm Desert Area Chamber of Commerce, the 2010 Ruby Award for Women Helping Women from the Palm Desert Soroptimists, and several awards connected to her volunteer service with the Girl Scouts — including the national Girl Scouts USA Appreciation Award for outstanding service.

Theresa Maggio has built a well-deserved reputation for creativity and excellence, both as a top-tier marketing professional and in her work on behalf of her community.

As the marketing director at Bighorn Golf Club for 11 years, Maggio has demonstrated mastery in advertising and public relations while building a wealth of unforgettable memories for Bighorn members through the variety of special events that her team organizes and coordinates each year.

Her work with Bighorm BAM (Behind a Miracle) for the past seven years has laid the groundwork for what has become Eisenhower Medical

Center’s largest private fundraiser. Thanks in large part to Maggio’s marketing team, Bighorn BAM, created by cancer survivor and Bighorn member Selby Dunham, has raised more than $3.3 million for the 25,000 breast cancer patients who are treated each year.

Annually, Maggio collaborates with The Shops on El Paseo to create A Miracle on El Paseo, which partners 40 stores, restaurants and sponsors in a holiday event that attracts more than 800 attendees. Participating retailers donate 10 percent of sales to the Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center.

Other work on the community’s behalf includes

Maggio’s ongoing service to Xavier College Preparatory High School, volunteering with Sacred Heart School, and serving as the vice chair of the City of Palm Desert’s Marketing Committee.

Founded in 1982 in Lansing, Mich., the ATHENA Awards program is now presented in hundreds of cities across the U.S. and Canada. The Palm Desert ATHENA Awards are sponsored locally by FirstBank and the City of Palm Desert.

Tickets to the awards luncheon are $45 per person. Reservations must be made before 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 16. For reservations and for more info, please call 760-346-0611, ext. 425.

President Barack Obama’s countenance reflects that of the rest of the nation after a political impasse led the government to cease operation.

whether lawmakers can meet a crucial mid-October deadline to raise the government’s $16.7 trillion debt ceiling.

Gerald Celente, publisher of the journal Trends, said the current crisis is “more theatrics than anything else,” as with previous U.S. political gridlocks.

“It’s the Washington drama queens doing what they always do — behaving in a manner that is unbecoming of professionals and adults,” Celente said.

The partial shutdown on Tuesday is the first for the US government in 17 years. It comes after Congress missed the Monday midnight deadline for passing a federal budget.

As a condition for keeping the government funded, Republicans were demanding a one-year delay in making millions of people buy health insurance under the Obama administration’s 2010 healthcare law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The attack on the White House’s key political measure

was spearheaded by Republican conservatives from the Tea Party, culminating three years of polarization in America.

The Senate twice rejected the proposed provisions, while Obama said he would veto the House-backed legislation.

The Congressional deadlock has driven the legislature’s approval rating down to a record low 10 percent, according to a new CNN/ORC International Poll. President Obama’s approval is down to 44 percent.

According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll on who is responsible for the crisis, most Americans, 44 percent, believe it’s everyone involved. Another 25 percent blame Republicans, while 14 percent blame Obama and 5 percent blame Democrats in Congress.

As the shutdown loomed Monday, visitors to popular parks made their frustration with elected officials clear.

“There is no good thing going to come out of it,” Chris

Fahl, a tourist, told AP as he toured Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park in Kentucky. “Taxpayers are just going to be more overburdened.”

“They should be willing to compromise, both sides, and it discourages me that they don’t seem to be able to do that,”

said Emily Enfinger, a visitor to the Statue of Liberty. “They’re not doing their job as far as I’m concerned.”

The crisis appeared to be strangely captivating for some foreigners.

“We can’t imagine not having a national health system,” said

Marlena Knight, an Australian native visiting Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia. “I just can’t believe that this country can shut down over something like a national health system. Totally bizarre, as an Australian, but fascinating.”

ORIGInALLY WRITTEn FOR THE DESERT SEnTInEL

Photo courtesy of Cabot’s Museum Foundation.

Cabot Yerxa, (1883-1965), historically referred to as the Father of Desert Hot Springs, homesteaded land on Miracle Hill from 1913 to 1918, and later wrote a long series of articles about his desert experiences that were published the Desert Sentinel newspaper. Cabot’s Museum Foundation has reprinted that series of articles in a book, “On the Desert Since 1913,” which is available at the museum trading post and on their website. Here’s another installment from the historical book. (Introduction by Richard Brown, Cabot’s Museum Foundation Board Member)

[Article 32: February 21, 1952]

By Cabot YerxaBob Carr was a most unusual person. Bob had been reared in the Black Hills of South Dakota, going to a country school for a meager education out of a few school books. But his real education had come from contact with life itself and very extensive reading of good literature. His father, a frontier doctor, was called from many miles round to attend white pioneer settlers for all their physical ills, both natural and accidental. Sioux Indians, too, were given medical care, and often domestic animals were treated.

In a country like that, there were no nurses; therefore Bob started under 10 years of age to accompany his father on medical calls and helped in every emergency from childbirth to murder victims. Bob was a prime favorite as a small boy with cattlemen, prospectors, miners, and Indians, too. So

from early boyhood, he lived an outdoor life and experienced real adventure with grown men in a wild new country. Also with Sioux Indians, those denizens of the plains, still living in their traditional tepees.

His first practical job was on a country newspaper. He learned to set type and developed a flair and marked ability to write. Setting type taught him spelling and grammar. By the time he was 20, he had a small country newspaper of his own. The Spanish-American war came up and Bob volunteered, serving throughout in the Philippine Islands, seeing much actual fighting. He was top sergeant.

On return, he again entered newspaper work, always in the writing field. Going east to Chicago, he spent time with some of the big dailies. He tried St. Paul papers for a while, Kansas City, and other places. However, there was an interval when he was publicity man for big meat packers, contacting cattle ranchers of the west in order to have them ship cattle to certain meat packer plants. Eventually Bob got out to Los Angeles and did a special column under his own name, and general reporting for the Los Angeles Evening Herald-Express.

Having had so much actual adventures and an interesting style of writing, it was easy for him to write stories appealing to men which sold readily, giving him opportunity to move and live where he pleased. Besides newspaper articles, stories, and novelettes, Bob wrote two published books of poetry dealing with the Western life of pioneer people and Indians.

By John J. HuntCabot had struck water

40 feet down in the sand, but it was hot — too hot to stand in — and, as he said, he had no money to buy boots.

But if nothing else, Cabot was an ingenious soul. This, and his stubborn persistence, allowed him to be the first person to discover the hot mineral water that would later put the town of Desert Hot Springs on the map.

His struggle continues in my book “The Waters of Comfort (The Story of Desert Hot Springs, California)”:

“So Cabot devised another ploy. ‘I took two five gallon tin cans, the square kind, cut the tops out and filled them with cold water. These were put in the bottom of the well. When I came down the ladder I carefully

put one foot in each can of cold water.’ When the cold water got hot, he refilled the cans and started anew. In this way he was able to finish the well.

“Cabot would go on to dig more wells. And he helped his neighbors dig theirs, like the Dickson’s, and Bill Anderson, and Bill Riley. He helped Walter Woods dig down 120 feet, the deepest hand-dug well in the area. He and Anderson dug a dry hole down sixty-five feet for Frank Houghton, near to Cabot’s holdings. Ford Beebe hit cold water, and so did Cabot.

“Though occupied with dousing and digging wells for most of 1914, we know where Cabot was on October 5th — at the Queen of Angels Hospital in Los Angeles, where Margaret (Mame) had given birth to a healthy boy. Rodney Yerxa is

considered by most to be the first Anglo to be born to settlers in this part of the desert.

“Cabot doesn’t remember exactly the moment when it came to him that his discoveries were something special, but he began early on referring to his holdings as ‘Miracle Hill.’ But years later he knew precisely the merit in his discoveries. ‘These were the first wells, and as time moved on much more digging was accomplished. But the first hot one at the foot of Miracle Hill of 132 [F] discovered by me in 1914 was the one of importance because it established the pattern and the possibility for a health resort at Desert Hot Springs as we know it now, and which is but a beginning for a great expanding future.’”

Palm Springs City Councilman Paul Lewin honors Lisa Houston, CEO of Find Food Bank.

It’s a time to re-define relationships, their meaning and value. You must incorporate negotiation and diplomacy, the ambassador in all relationships. You learn whom you can depend upon. You’re more gracious than usual. Wondering if your relationships are mutually supportive you define the support you need. Calmly share this information. It brings forth balance. Knowledge always does.

You begin to clearly understand what is disordered and imbalanced in your life and what needs tending and clarifying. With determined concentration, allowing no distractions, you bring forth order and harmony. It’s time to begin new health routines, take care of business, reorganize, analyze and sort out priorities. Gardening and nature bring you ease. You become Ceres knowing Persephone is safe.

You continue to be artfully creative and dramatic when expressing yourself as if you’re performing - an observation of the energies, not criticism. It’s a new creative side not often available before. It’s

the real you in another dimension – someone always in the spotlight of your true self, always from the heart. You need more play, some adventures, a sandbox, leisure and everything in balance. They find you.

You’re thinking of children, mothers, caretakers, families, things that nurture, home as refuge. Recently it was the Feast of Our Lady of Refuge. Ancient paintings illustrate angels holding up Madonna’s golden cloak where she harbored, protected, calmed and soothed those in need. You do this daily. As a balance to this nurturing of others, it’s good to voice your needs. What is your refuge, your comfort and support? We’re listening.

It’s time to learn something new. You already know so many things. When in social situations you feel more ease. At home in daily life you find ways to bring forth harmony, balance, order and organization. When communicating with others you feel mind/heart connections. There are tasks to tend to, people to contact, things to order, neighborhoods to walk, relatives to call, the car to be looked after,

new classes to give. You’re busy!

You want your l ive/work environments to be beautifully filled with objects of value. You want comfort and balance. You need an aerie, spacious and in nature. You need a greenhouse, plants growing everywhere. You may be concerned with finances, money, resources. You need fairness. Above all you seek security and safety. Know that you are worthy of all that you need and ask for. You’re sensitivity is a message.

You want to begin anew, to look and act, express and present yourself in completely different ways. You want to change certain ways of being, habits and behaviors. You’re being tested during the month of Libra. You want to absorb all the virtues. However, obstructions get in the way. Anger arises and doesn’t go away. Many depend upon you. Often you’re impulsive. This is good to a point. Then you must begin to bravely discipline yourself. Acting with greater understanding and benevolence. Begin anew each day. You’ll reach your goals.

It is a special time inward time of review and reflection. Thoughts concerning other people’s needs and how to respond with empathy and compassion arise. However it’s good first to be in a state of withdrawal and not rush out to care for others. Your own

person needs care now. Peace arises through solitude. This is preparation for new realities in several months. For now allow the solitude and withdrawal to be your refuge.

It’s important to understand your standing in society, how you influence the world, your colleagues and those around you. And to observe how people “see” you. You must look beneath the surface to discover the truth of their responses and/or reactions. Understanding your influence becomes meaningful when attempting to create new plans and agendas. Thoughts of self-mastery and self-discipline become your responsibility as a leader. You ponder upon these things.

You may feel restless when confronted with things routine. You want to initiate new plans and projects that propel you into new realities, expand your mind, with bit of adventure in them, allowing your imagination creative free reign. This creativity has to do with beauty and harmony, with balancing relationships, bringing forth new perspectives. Here’s a new idea. Add paramagnetic rock (ground) to your gardens. It attracts heavenly cosmic light. Stand in that Light.

You’re extra sensitive. The unseen fields of others will be felt. In other words you’ll be more aware than usual of others and this may

make you feel confused and disoriented. Step back literally when this occurs. Be aware, first of all, that this sensitivity could occur. The veils between worlds are dropping. Tend also, materially, to finances. Work on a savings plan. Twenty or more percent of all monies that come in - set aside.The opportunity for a new beginning may be offered. It’s a way of graciously conceding and cooperating. You’re hoping for

this. A door opens to reveal a new way of participating in something significant. There’s a realization that forgiveness is most important – given and received. You’re being tested on how to relate with more authenticity. You must begin to always come from the heart. We’re all learning this together.

Story and Photos by Pat KrausePALM SPRINGS – The first

annual “Rock Out to Knock Out Hunger” dance party fundraiser was held last Saturday at Bar to cap Hunger Awareness Month.

Guests were asked to donate a $10.00 cover charge and bring canned items to help feed the hungry. Palm Springs City Councilman Paul Lewin presented Lisa Houston, CEO of FIND Food Bank, with a

proclamation in honor of Hunger Awareness Month. Houston is working to make the Coachella Valley to be a “hunger-free zone.”

The Santa Monica-based band Famous for Nothing provided the evening’s music, and and the large crowd of attendees had a great time “rocking out.”

FIND Food Bank, based in Indio, currently distributes

food to 80,000 people per month through a network of local partners, including food pantries, shelters, soup kitchens, senior centers and after-school programs. Any donation is helpful, as $10 can provide up to 70 meals. For more information, visit www. findfoodbank.org.

If you can’t participate on Oct. 19, consider making a donation by visiting desertaidswalk.org, as everyone helps D.A.P. move toward this year’s Walk goal of $250,000. For the fourth year in a row, Walgreens has been running its month-long Red Ribbon promotion in support of the Walk in local area stores. Last year’s promotion donated more than $10,000. Revivals, the local chain of resale stores whose sales benefit D.A.P., is also accepting donations in-store.

D.A.P. is thrilled with

the commitment it has been receiving in making the “Stop AIDS” part of the Walk’s slogan come to life. Community partners like AIDS Assistance Program, the LGBT Community Center of the Desert, Mizell Senior Center, Palm Springs Gay Men’s Chorus, Desert Regional Medical Center, and many more, along with D.A.P., have signed on to a coalition of community partners called Get Tested Coachella Valley (gettestedcv.org).

As it continues to unfold over the coming months,

Get Tested Coachella Valley will be the nation’s first-ever, region-wide campaign dedicated to dramatically reducing transmission of HIV. To encourage the efforts of these community partners, half of the net proceeds raised by each of these Walk partners will go back to the coffers of their own organizations, while the other half will benefit D.A.P.’s care, prevention and advocacy efforts.

“In our valley, the prevalence of HIV is estimated at 67 percent higher than the national average – which puts everyone at greater risk — especially when you consider that nearly 70 percent of Coachella Valley residents have never been tested for HIV,”

said David Brinkman, CEO of Desert AIDS Project. “We’re so gratified that essential decision-makers and influencers have joined our Walk and signed up with Get Tested Coachella Valley because the CDC estimates that approximately one in five people living with HIV in the U.S. don’t know they are infected.”

The good news: the journal Science hailed an international study as the “2011 Breakthrough of the Year” when it proved that an individual who begins taking the right medications soon after becoming HIV-positive is 96 percent less likely to pass the virus to others. “Expect to hear a lot more about Get Tested Coachella Valley from D.A.P.

and the other coalition partners in the months to come,” said Brinkman. “But in the meantime, here’s hoping everyone will join us at the Walk and continue to spread the word to ‘Walk – Get Tested – Stop AIDS.’”

Desert AIDS Project serves people living with HIV and AIDS by providing comprehensive support, including medical care, case management and social services — such as food, housing and counseling. D.A.P. also offers free and confidential HIV testing at a number of locations throughout the communities it serves.

BEAUMONT – On Monday, Oct. 21, Riverside County Supervisor Marion Ashley and the Economic Development Agency will hold the 3rd Annual ’Round the World in 18 Holes Golf Classic, presented by BMW of Riverside, to benefit

the Edward-Dean Museum & Gardens in Cherry Valley. The Morongo Band of Mission Indians has returned as the course sponsor, inviting the county to stage the tourney at the Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon.

“We are honored and very excited to have Don Felder, Joe Mantegna, Ski Johnson and Luc Robitaille joining us in this annual tournament,” stated 5th District Supervisor Marion Ashley. “The mere presence of Don, Joe, Ski and Luc at our

Golf Classic is a testament to the value the Edward-Dean Museum & Gardens brings to our community, and a great reason for us to show our support for a county gem.”

The Golf Classic is in support of the museum’s programs, which provide local school children with tours designed to enrich their knowledge of European and Asian decorative arts. Several celebrities are, in turn, supporting the benefit competition — including Don Felder, the renowned former lead guitarist of The Eagles. Felder, a four-time Grammy winner and a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Star of the hit television crime series, “Criminal Minds,” Joe Mantegna has had an illustrious career starring in such movies as “The Rat Pack,” “Elvis & Annabelle” and “Cars 2.”

Wash i ng ton , D .C . , saxophonist Ski Johnson has

developed a captivating soulful jazz style that has landed him Grammy consideration five times in his career. His 2012 album “UnderDogs on Top” climbed to number 30 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart.

Luc Robitaille is undoubtedly one of the greatest and most popular players to ever lace up a pair of hockey skates. The onetime L.A. Kings captain won a Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings before returning to the Kings, where he finished out his career in 2006 as the highest-scoring left winger in NHL history. Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009, Luc became the president of business operations for the L.A. Kings, where he was an integral part of the management team that brought the Kings their first Stanley Cup in franchise history.

Imported Tea Offers the Total(ing) PackagePALM SPRINGS – Some

choose teas for flavor. Some for comfort. Some for health. Rooibos, known as a “miracle tea” in its native South Africa, delivers all three benefits in one savory organic-herbal brew.

Rooibos contains no sugar, calories, caffeine or preservatives; it is high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The tea has anti-spasmodic properties that help relieve stomach cramps, indigestion and heartburn, and it also contains alpha-hydroxy acid, which promotes healthy skin.

The Rooibos plant, being a member of the legume family, is vibrant green and sprouts yellow flowers. The plant is unique in that, depending on the harvesting method using, it can produce both a “red” and a “green” tea — each with its own distinct flavor.

For the red tea, the plants are harvested, bruised (causing fermentation) and then dried in the sun, which induces the color change from green to mahogany. Its flavor is fruity and delicious.

Creating the green Rooibos tea bypasses fermentation. The plants are dried immediately to a light green / tan color. The taste is mild, similar to conventional green tea, but it is higher in antioxidants.

Rooibos is carried by Desert Artists – Gifts & Imported Teas at 280 N. Palm Canyon Dr., which stocks flavors including berry, cinnamon apple, mango, peach, vanilla chai and more. For store hours and info, call 760-778-4200. Visit Rooibos and Fruit Teas at the Palm Springs VillageFest Thursday evenings and at rooibosandfruitteas.com.

By Pamela PricePALM SPRINGS – Here is this

much-renovated city’s ultimate “motel” makeover success story: The Sparrows Hotel.

The property was formerly the EL Rancho Lodge, which opened

in the 1950s as a roadside motel and languished for years until Doug and Josie Smith stepped in and transformed it into a Western-themed mini-resort with 19 guestrooms.

The Smiths had great

success with another Palm Springs hideaway, the chic Korakia Pensione. For the record, Korakia translates to crow in Greek. So it’s fitting they chose a new bird-inspired name for their latest project.

The old El Rancho Lodge would have galvanized movie fans had it been used in a scene from a mid-century film noir detective drama. (My travel pal said “sleazy” would be the operative word.) But that was yesterday.

Hold on to your crew cut and pony tail, because this relic has undergone what most of my friends have had — a serious facelift. In this case, The Sparrows Hotel has emerged a white swan. It is an ugly roadside duckling no more.

As a rebel against cookie-cutter hotels, The Sparrows makes a refreshing statement in the boutique hotel category. It was chosen as one of nine new design-driven hotels in the U.S. to open this year by Fodors.com. On its blog, Fodor’s referred to it as a “funky,” while UrbanDaddy.com called it “aggressively rustic.”

Point your iPhone in any direction and something clever pops up. Noteworthy is a horse trough repurposed as a bathtub

— perfect for anyone fitting into a size 10 or under. The hotel’s 25-foot-long barn, with its exposed wood, is the “hangout” conveniently adjacent to the swimming pool. House-baked pizzas are promised.

Guestrooms showcase soft comforts but television and telephones are absent. Dogs are welcome; however, no children, please.

The Sparrows Hotel is something to chirp about — and just in time for Modernism Week. Their sign at 1330 E. Palm Canyon near Sunrise is symbolically low-key, too: an image of two sparrows and nothing else.

Rates start at $175 a night. Call 760-327-2300 or visit thesparrows.hotel.com.

PALM SPRINGS – The Palm Springs Annual Tram Road Challenge returns Oct. 26, 2013.

The Tram Road Challenge is a 6K uphill run/walk presented by the Palm Aerial Tram. For over 25 years, runners and walkers from around the world have been taking on the challenge. This year Save-A-Pet Animal Hospital staff will participate in climbing 2,000 vertical feet in just over 3.7 miles. All finishers receive a customized finisher’s medal.

Save-A-Pet often has clients who bring in their animals but who do not have funds to pay for the medical treatment. The organization has criteria and a process in place to ensure the best use of funds raised to

provide financial assistance. Rusty, a veterinary

technician at Save-A-Pet’s hospital, is gearing up for the Tram Challenge to raise money to help people who cannot afford necessary medical care for their dogs or cats. This year, fellow veterinary technician Dhana and hospital manager Skip are joining Rusty by walking in this difficult event.

Please help support this compassionate team by sponsoring their participation. You can make a donation by phone at 760-251-1400 or by mail: P.O. Box 602, Desert Hot Springs, Calif., 92240. Or visit Save-A-Pet online saveapetonline.org.

Martin is currently in the fifth decade of a uniquely accomplished career in which he’s excelled as a comedian, actor, author / playwright, and Grammy-winning bluegrass banjoist and composer. He has also hosted the Academy Awards and been accorded a Kennedy Center Honor.

Martin’s fellow Texas native Edie Brickell, burst onto the national scene in the late 1980s

fronting the New Bohemians, and she has since carved out an iconoclastic solo career that’s solidified her reputation as a compelling singer and a songwriter of rare insight.

Although the new musical partners have built widely-loved individual bodies of work, their inaugural album as a duo is a substantial departure and a creative milestone for both. “Love Has Come for You” offers 13 eloquently rootsy Martin / Brickell compositions that combine the former’s inventive, expressive five-string banjo playing with the latter’s heart-tugging vocals and vivid lyrics.

The album is the product of a songwriting partnership. Martin invited Brickell to write lyrics for a banjo tune he’d recently created. Despite living on opposite coasts, their working relationship quickly blossomed, with the two writing separately and exchanging digital files via email. The results of the pair’s unconventional co-writing method are inspired —

combining the gentle yet feisty humanity of Brickell’s vocals with the effortless economy of Martin’s banjo work.

In 2011, the Steep Canyon Rangers released its first collaborative record with Steve Martin, “Rare Bird Alert,” which debuted at number one on Billboard’s Bluegrass Chart. In 2010, the latest solo record from Steep Canyon Rangers, “Deep in the Shade,” remained in the Bluegrass Top 10 on Billboard for 18 weeks. While headlining festivals like MerleFest and Bonnaroo alongside Steve Martin, the Rangers continue perform alone as a quintet on stages such as Telluride Bluegrass Festival and “A Prairie Home Companion,” with Garrison Keillor. With smooth vocals, smart songwriting, ferocious instrumentals and jaw-dropping harmony, the Rangers are bringing Bluegrass to music lovers across the U.S. and around the world.

T h e P a l m D e s e r t

performance begins at 8 p.m. at the McCallum Theatre, located at 73000 Fred Waring Dr. Tickets are $125, $95, $75 and

$65, and they are available by calling 760-340-ARTS or visiting mccallumtheatre.com.

On October 28, 2013 at 09:00 AM, at the front steps to the entrance of the former Corona Police Department 849 W. Sixth Street Corona, CA 92882, MTC FINANCIAL INC. dba TRUSTEE CORPS, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on November 20, 2006 as Instrument No. 2006-0856459 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Riverside County, California, executed by JUAN TIJERINA AND MARCELLINA C. TIJERINA, as Trustor(s), in favor of BENEFICIAL CALIFONIA INC as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGH-EST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street ad-dress and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 29600 DESERT CHARM RD, DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CA 92241 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 without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regard-ing 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 if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated 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 obligations secured by the property to be sold and reason-able estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee`s Sale is estimated to be $225,763.24 (Estimated), provided, however, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary`s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier`s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be accept-able to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee`s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder`s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 re-corder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this informa-tion. 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 Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address on the previous page for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000637-13-1. 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 at-tend 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 own-ership 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.

Janet Napolitano as New UC PresidentOAKLAND - In response to

the news that Homeland Security Secretary and former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano will become the new President of the University of California system, Kathryn Lybarger, President of the university’s largest union—AFSCME 3299—has issued the following statement:

“While UC staff, students and patients were largely excluded from the secretive process that led to Secretary Janet Napolitano’s appointment, we appreciate her years of public service and congratulate her on becoming

the next President of the University of California. Secretary Napolitano’s tenure at UC begins at a time of skyrocketing student tuition, degraded patient care quality, increased privatization of public university resources, unprecedented debt, unrivaled executive excess, and declining taxpayer trust in top University leadership. While this will be the unfortunate legacy of her predecessor, it is our hope that Secretary Napolitano will work to arrest the UC’s continuing modesty problem, and restore the spirit of cooperation and respect

that’s needed to meet its core public research, academic and health delivery missions in the years to come. If she does, she

SKY VALLEY - Bernadette Schwenn, 64, a resident of Fan Canyon in Sky Valley, was arrested on Monday, July 1 on charges of animal cruelty. Schwenn lives in a makeshift shanty with no water, no electricity and a pack of Queensland Heeler dogs.

Last April, Kitty Pallesen, an animal advocate and writer received a call saying something

may have happened to the woman living in Fan Canyon and that her dogs needed help.

Bernadette, but found so many dogs with no food or water. I went back every day delivering water and food, not knowing if the woman was dead or alive. I did not know her last name or how to contact her. I started calling different agencies trying to get help for the dogs,” Pallesen

said in an exclusive interview. “The water and food bowls

were always empty. I counted 20 or 22 dogs at the camp near the road, not knowing there were more in an upper camp.

“One night a friend of Schwenn’s stopped by with a jug of water. He had not talked to her, did not know where she was nor had any contact information for her. Before he left, he said he did not understand why something had not been done a long time ago about the situation with the dogs, and that over the years

Schwenn had been personally responsible for ‘hundreds and hundreds’ of dead dogs.

Pallesen called Animal Control, the ASPCA, the Humane Society, PETA, Animal Samaritans, a County Supervisor, “and every place I could think of. Nobody called back.

“Sky Valley Park’s chapel raised money for a bigger water container. I asked the Sky Valley Fire Station if they could deliver water, but their tanks held

and the water is not suitable for

the dogs. “On May 1, I found an older

female (dog) laying out in the sun, too weak to move or drink, breathing hard. I took her to a vet trailing blood to the exam room. She was very emaciated.

“The veterinarian said was too far gone. The only option was to humanely end her suffering. I held her, whispered, and cried for her to the end, just like she was my own dog,” Pallesen said.

Desert Businesses Clamor to Attract Same Sex WeddingsBy Jackie Devereaux

PALM SPRINGS – The U.S. Supreme Court handed down a historic ruling on Wednesday, Jun. 26 to grant same sex marriages across the nation. In their ruling on DOMA and California’s Proposition 8, the justices overturned a previous lower court ruling which declared same sex marriage unconstitutional.

Within minutes of the landmark ruling, local hoteliers and wedding planners scrambled to promote Palm Springs as a premiere wedding destination.

“The Supreme Court’s

historic action today overturning DOMA and dismissing the appeal of California’s Proposition 8, clearing the way for same-sex marriage in our state is a huge victory for the LGBT community. This is about equal rights and I

recognized that we are all the same,” said Palm Springs Mayor Steve Pougnet.

“My husband Christopher and I look forward to same-sex weddings commencing again in the state of California – and rest assured the City of Palm Springs will continue to be a destination committed to celebrating the

institution of marriage, both heterosexual and same-sex,” Pougnet said in a prepared statement

“Riverside County is prepared to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and record their marriages immediately after the anticipated direction is received from the state and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Hopefully that day will be here soon,” said Supervisor John J. Benoit.

“The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on the matter of Hollingsworth v. Perry, making

Tampering with Evidence Indictments

By Jackie Devereaux

Emin Bernd Alihodic was born on July 21, 1951 in Siegen, Germany and immigrated to the United States sometime in the late 1980s. Alihodic left behind two children and an ex-wife. His son, Jens (Alihodic) Luschnt, 35, came to Palm Springs on Monday, Aug. 12 to search for his biological father with only a

newspaper article describing how his dad was rescued twice off Mount San Jacinto on Feb. 9, 2009 and then again on May 13, 2010.

Jens, who speaks little or no English, was adopted by his step-father at the age of 10 and only knows a little about his biological father from stories his mother told him through the years.

“I’d like to know more

about him. How’s he been living all these years,” the younger Alihodic said through a German/English interpreter.

Jens said he started looking for his father about a year and a half ago after meeting the

own family soon and through her urging, they traveled to Palm Springs to search for his biological father.

By Art Kunkin (Mr. Life Extension)The cover story of the

September 30, 2013 issue of Time Magazine reports that Google, Inc, the world’s largest internet search company, is establishing a new company called Calico to focus on health problems due to aging.

“These issues affect us all -- from the decreased mobility and mental agility that comes with age, to life-threatening diseases that exact a terrible physical and emotional toll on individuals and families,” said Google Chief Executive Larry Page. “And while this is clearly a long term bet, we believe we can make good progress within reasonable time scales with the right goals and the right people.”

Google, which makes more than 90 percent of its revenue from advertising, has

invested in numerous so-called moonshots since co-founder Page reassumed the role of CEO in 2011. The company is working on self-driving cars, wearable computers and air balloons that beam wireless Internet access to remote regions of the world. The name Calico is short-hand for California Life Company.

Page acknowledged in his post that Calico appeared to diverge from “what Google does today… Don’t be surprised if we invest in projects that seem strange or speculative compared with our existing Internet businesses… And please remember that new investments like this are very small by comparison to our core business.” Google generated $50 billion in revenue last year and has a cash reserve of $54 billion.

Health issues are an area of personal interest for Google co-founders Page and Sergey Brin. In May, Page announced that he had a rare nerve disease that limited the movement of his vocal cords and briefly sidelined him from public speaking. He also said he had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, a thyroid inflammatory condition. Brin has stated that he has a higher-than-average chance of being diagnosed with Parkinson’s since his mother had that disease.

Art Levinson, former chief executive of Genentech will be Calico’s chief executive and a founding investor. Levinson is also chairman of Apple and will remain in that position, leading to a statement of support from Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook.

“For too many of our friends and family, life has been cut short or the quality of their life is too often lacking,” Cook said. “Art is one of the crazy ones who thinks it doesn’t have to be this way. There is no one better suited to lead this mission and I am excited to see the results.”

Google is keeping its exact plans for Calico secret for the time being. However, it is likely to use its data-processing strength to shed new light on age-related maladies.

Page asks “Are people really focused on the right things? One of the things I thought was amazing is that if you solve cancer, you’d add about three years to people’s average life expectancy. We think of solving cancer as this huge thing that’ll totally change the world. But when you really take a step back and look at it, yeah, there are many, many tragic cases of cancer and it’s very, very sad, but in the aggregate that’s not as big an advance as you might think.”

Art Kunkin is the 85-year young journalist who founded the alternative weekly newspaper,

The Los Angeles Free Press, in 1964 and later became president of the Philosophical Research Society. He currently is a member of the Advisory Board of The Institute of Mentalphysics, also known as the Joshua Tree

Retreat Center. This week he is launching a new website, www.StopAging Right Now.com, that links to his book “Life Extension Alchemy.” Copyright 2013 by Art Kunkin. All Rights Reserved. Photo by Michal Alaniz.

By Dan MarinelliPERRIS – “I’m trying to run

this team like an NFL team,” said Rosie Welmas, owner of the

Desert Chiefs and Founder / CEO of the charitable organization Rosie’s Kids (rosieskids.com).

An NFL team is exactly what the Desert Chiefs looked like on Saturday against the California Longhorns

Lead by running back Komani Harper and quarterback

Brent Rausch, the Desert Chiefs balanced a steady, run-and-pass offense, creating a 33-0 first-half deficit for the Longhorns.

Harper set the tone of the game from the get-go. On the Desert Chiefs’ first possession from the 50-yard line, Harper ran the ball 35 yards to the

Longhorns’ 15-yard line. Then, on first and goal, Harper proceeded to carry the ball, easily, into the end zone for the touchdown.

Rausch, the former University of Hawaii quarterback, made his presence known early, too. Rausch had 100-plus yards and two touchdown passes to receivers Ricky Festa and Gaston Bailey in the first half alone.

Later in the third quarter, Harper, also the team’s punt returner, returned a punt 65 yards for the touchdown. Harper had over 200 all-purpose yards (offense and special teams) and two touchdowns against the Longhorns.

Despite the Chiefs’ ability to score at will against the Longhorns, it was the Desert Chiefs’ defense that created the largest point differential between the two teams. The Desert Chiefs defense forced a safety, six punts, a fumble and three interceptions.

Defensive back Solwyn Nelson almost ran an interception back for a touchdown, but carelessly, he fumbled at the Longhorn’s 3-yard line, resulting in a touchback. Later in the second quarter, defensive back Adrian Guzman did take an interception 25 yards for the touchdown. And at the start of the fourth quarter, safety Alfredo Melendez had a 50-yard interception return to the Longhorn 5-yard line.

In total, the Desert Chiefs put up, a ridiculous, 60 points against the California Longhorns. The Desert Chiefs improved to 6-0 in the Pacific Coast Football Conference and are in second place.

Next Saturday, the Desert Chiefs look to continue their winning streak against the L.A. Ravens. The Desert Chiefs are playing a home game at Shadow Hills High School, Indio. The game starts at 7 p.m.

Arabs Stay Hot Against BulldogsBy Dan Marinelli

THERMAL – The parade, fireworks and festivities at Coachella Valley High School’s Homecoming added an extra-special feel ing last F r i d a y night, bu t

w h a t m a d e t h e Arabs’

h e a d c o a c h ,

Scott Fisher, really want

to say “Home sweet home”

was his

homecoming victory.After a three-game road trip,

the Coachella Valley Arabs (0-0 in the Desert Valley League, 3-1 overall) came home to face the Calexico Bulldogs (0-0 in the

Imperial Valley League, 3-2 overall) in front of a hyped

crowd of, at least, 1000 loyal fans.

With all three of Calexico’s wins coming

at home, Bulldogs Head Coach Allen Heck knew that

if his team didn’t get the lead early, it would be hard to come

from behind in such a raucous environment.

The Bulldogs defense was keeping their end of the

bargain by not relinquishing any sort of a lead, but their

offense was struggling to find its form. The

Arabs managed to prevent the

Bulldogs from scoring early,

forcing t h r e e fumb les a n d recovering two of them.

“We t each our kids to swarm the

football,” said Coach Fisher. “To not just go for the tackle, but try and strip the football.

That’s exactly what we did.”

With 9:10 remaining in the first half, Bulldogs junior running back / kick returner Antonio Valdez, ran back an Arab punt 48-yards for a touchdown. The Bulldogs finally had their lead. However, it would be their last lead of the game.

With only a minute and a half having gone by since the Bulldogs had scored, the Arabs moved the ball 76 yards in only two plays. The drive was completed when senior quarterback Ricky Perez threw a 39-yard completion to senior wide receiver Horacio Solis. However, the extra point was missed, leaving the Arabs down one point.

The Arabs scored one more time before the first-half; the lead, and likely the game, would be theirs. The highlight of the drive came when Arabs senior running back Izac Ocon took the ball 40 yards into the Bulldogs red zone. Ultimately, Ocon ran the ball six more yards into the end zone for the touchdown.

Coach Fisher elected to go for the two-point conversion to try and take a whole-touchdown lead. Ocon, as if he was not tired-enough already, was then called upon to convert the two-point play — and did so with ease. The Arabs were now up 14-7 and would never look back.

What plagued the Bulldogs

the rest of the game was the lack of quarterback protection and the numerous amount of wildly thrown passes. The only chance the Bulldogs had at scoring the rest of the game was early in the third quarter, when junior running back Earnesto Gonzalez dropped a wide-open 40-yard touchdown pass.

For the Arabs, the fourth quarter was the most enjoyable quarter of the game. The defense had three interceptions, one of which was a returned 31 yards for a touchdown by junior linebacker Noah Torres that put the nail in the coffin.

“We adjusted our defense plenty of times — we knew what they were going to do,” said Coach Fisher. “Coach Seymore, our defensive coordinator, knew we had to shut down their run. And he was recognizing the formations they were coming out with based on his film study from Calexico’s previous games.”

Worth not ing, Torres returned another interception for a touchdown later in the fourth quarter but due to an Arab penalty, the interception and touchdown would be reversed.

The Coachella Valley Arabs ended up winning 21-7 behind their solid defense and errorless play. They go back on the road to face Banning this Friday at 7 p.m.
