By Jessica Martin, Mother Mother’s Day 2012 is a

day our family will not soon forget. Leena and Brielle Martin were born at 25 weeks, after four weeks of hospital bed rest- they weighed just 1lb 12oz and 1lb 10oz.

Both of our girls have been fighters from the very beginning. On several occasions, we were told to prepare for the worst, but both of our girls had continued to fight. They had a long, hard stay in the NICU that included nitric oxide therapy, laser eye surgery, nissen fundoplication, and gastronomy tube placement among many

other procedures. They fought through it all, enduring a 156-day stay at Kaiser Fontana; through the help of an amazing medical staff and the support of family and friends—we were finally able to bring our babies home.

Watching the two of them grow has been our greatest joy. Since coming home, we have had some setbacks and are still reminded of their premature birth daily— due to their need to use G-tubes for nutrition. Although, we know our girls will continue overcome these obstacles just as the many others that have also been put in their paths.

We know how lucky we are to have our daughters and realize the importance of March of Dimes’ role in saving babies’ lives. We have marched for three years, and this is a mission that will always be close to our hearts.

March of Dimes Inland Empire March for Babies 2016 Raises Prematurity Awareness, come and celebrate our incredible community, as we walk together at the March of Dimes Inland Empire walk.

WHEN: Saturday, May 7, 2016 Check-in 8:00 a.m.; Walk

begins at 9:00 a.m.

WHERE: Rancho Jurupa Park, Jurupa Valley

4800 Crestmore Road Jurupa Valley, Ca 92509

WHAT: Join Doug Key, Regional Director of American Medical Response and Inland Empire March for Babies Chair, at the

March of Dimes March for Babies® walk in Jurupa Valley.

Join us, as nearly thirty-five hundred community members walk together to raise $600,000 for stronger, healthier babies. March for Babies® is March of Dimes’ largest fundraiser. Each year nearly 4,000,000 babies are born in the United States and March of Dimes touches each one of them.

March of Dimes works to

improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Premature birth is the #1 killer of babies in the United States. In the U.S. one in ten babies are born too soon. Babies who survive an early birth may have lifelong health problems such as cerebral palsy, vision and hearing loss, and learning disabilities.

You can make a difference. Help raise funds to prevent premature birth and birth defects by walking in March for Babies. Start a team with co-workers, family, or friends.

Story and Photos by Pat KrauseThe movie When Voices

Meet held a special screening at the Mary Pickford Theatre in Cathedral City on April 27th. Actress Shari Belafonte contacted the Palm Springs Women in Film and Television, PSWIFT, about being a part of this documentary somewhat shot in 1992 in South Africa by Sharon Katz. PSWIFT was excited to agree to host this screening that was such an important event in the turbulent times of apartheid in South Africa.

Sharon Katz brought together high-school students for a choir to tour South Africa starting in a city where

they thought they might get only a few people attending but ending up getting hundreds for their concert.

They started the “Peace Train” where Whites, Blacks, Coloured and Indian students all performed across the country. It was an effort to

abolish Aparthied that proved so successful that they took the Peace Train to the U.S. In a day of segregation it was amazing to see these children live together on the train, eat and sleep in the same place where it was unheard of for the times.

They brought 120

students, teachers and administrators to see the film in the morning. Reception for the film was amazing from all attending. It brought to light the fact that Racial Lines can be broken in a good way. Music is a median where race and creed are brought together for a common goal and there is no racism. The Peace Train

traveled across the U.S. for five weeks with over a hundred students, parents, teachers and musicians performing.

Sharon Katz is again trying to organize another Peace Train in the U.S. with all races involved for another touring concert of students.

When Voices Meet

By Desert Star StaffST. PAUL, Minn. – Mental

illness may be affecting more Minnesotans than you think, as health professionals say about 224,000 people receive mental health services in the state.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and it’s being used as a time to remember that those who are seeking treatment also may face social stigmas.

Sue Abderholden, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Minnesota, says people may be afraid to tell their boss or employer that they’re suffering with depression or other serious mental health conditions.

“I think their fear is that they won’t get a promotion, they won’t get a raise, that they will be fired for this,” she states. “The Americans with Disabilities Act actually does apply for someone with a mental illness. “

Abderholden says employers should make reasonable accommodations for workers who struggle with mental illness, but under the act they have to be notified first.

This month, the alliance is hosting a series of events around the state to educate the public about mental illness and to build support for increasing services.

The group is praising Gov. Mark Dayton’s budget proposal for including more funding for state-run mental health providers.

Abderholden says such moves could help uncover untreated mental illnesses, which would cut down on health care

costs in the long run.“People wait an average

of 10 years before seeking treatment,” she points out. “It’s just way too long. We know, generally speaking, in health care that the earlier

that you identify and treat something the better the outcomes, and the same is true for mental illnesses.”

Abderholden also suggests that employers could train supervisors and

managers to be as sensitive to mental health issues as other health conditions.

Being Mindful of Mental Health in May

May 6, 2016 www.desertstarweekly.com 4 DesertSTAR

Story and Photos by Pat KrauseOver 70,000 people

enjoyed the 10th anniversary of Stagecoach; another year of diverse, and fantastic music in all its forms. The 3 days of entertainment are unparallel in this Valley. The Indio Polo Grounds is transformed from Coachella Fest Weekends into a country theme. The art works on the grounds is definitely geared to the country fans. There was a huge cowboy boot, that fans crowded around to get selfies. The very large Ferris Wheel can be seen all around the venue and is a way to find the entrance and Exits, the vendors and food booths.

There was a long line of vendors selling beer and drinks and foods at one area and other vendors all over selling cowboy hats, belt buckles, removable tattoos, T-Shirts, and memorabilia. Everyone wants a memento of this weekend. Food Vendors sold just about anything from pizza to spring rolls, hot dogs, and everything in between. There were walkways for fans to get into one side or another or to one stage or another. The three stages, Mane, Palomino and Mustang were filled to hear every kind of artist. There was the traditional country, blue grass and a more hip kind of country for everyone’s taste.

There were a lot of brand new artists, that are making news in the country scene. Goldenvoice does a great job in

finding the newest talent to highlight. Fans are finding new entertainers that are making their mark in the music world. I noticed there were a lot of younger people along with an older crowd at the more traditional country acts like, Marty Stuart, Emmy Lou Harris, John Fogarty, Lee Ann Womack and the Doobie Brothers. The senior country artists had the largest crowds in the Palomino and Mustang stages. The many fresh artists could be seen on all three stages during the day and creating brand new fans.

Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan brought out the largest crowds on the Mane Stage. Eric Church, Chris Young, The Band Perry, and Little Big town came in a close second on the size of the crowds with the earlier bands having to compete with the bands on the other stages. People seemed to be constantly going from one area to another stopping only to get some refreshments or food. Many checked out all that Stagecoach had to offer besides the entertainers.

Stagecoach has more to offer than just big names. There is the Honky Tonk area, Stagecoach BBQ and even the Pint Hootenanny and petting zoo for kids. Stagecoach left nothing out including many porta potty areas, Charging stations for cell phones, art

work, resting areas, dancing barns, refill stations for water, info kiosks, a BBQ contest and notwithstanding lockers where fans could keep items safely. Entertainment can be found in a lot of the big vendor areas. One couple said the best part of their day was just being able to be at Stagecoach and looking forward to coming again next year.

By Robert Kinsler If there was one thread

that tied together many of performances that I caught at Stagecoach last weekend, it was the spirit of Merle Haggard.

While a slew of the performances acknowledged Hag, who passed away April 6, 2016, there was ultimately an even deeper theme of honoring a range of musical heroes and acknowledging the large part that great music plays in the lives of those who journeyed to take in the sights and sounds at California largest country music festival.

Here is an overview of the noteworthy performances I caught at the three-day festival, held April 29, 30 and May 1, 2016 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio.

Friday, April 29While early Friday

performances from Leroy Powell and Aubrie Sellers were entertaining, the first top-tier performance came courtesy of the Malpass Brothers’ 45-minute play in the Palomino tent. The five-member troupe (headed by Christopher and Taylor Malpass) honored musical greats ranging from Hank Williams (a Western Swing-flavored “Move It On Over”) and Johnny Cash (a buoyant “Folsom Prison Blues”) to Jimmie Rogers (“California Blues”) to Haggard (an emotive “Sing Me Back Home”). The Malpass Brothers closed their set with several songs rooted celebrating their heroes, including “Man in Black is Wearing White” (a fitting tribute to Johnny Cash).

Just as strong was the appearance by Austin-based singer-songwriter

Dale Watson. Backed by a tight trio known as “His Lone Stars,” Watson paid tribute to honky tonk and authentic country music with every note, including the uptempo George Jones-honoring “Jonesin for Jones.” Armed with a rich baritone voice and sharp guitar licks, his 14-song set also featured the retro-styled original “Whiskey or God” and Haggard’s timeless country ballad “Here In Frisco.”

Memphis country-punk outfit Lucero was a good fit to perform in the Palomino. Sandwiched in the middle of the previous traditional sets from the Malpass Brothers and Watson, and subsequent sets from legends Robert Earl Keen and Emmylou Harris, the band’s rollicking style was a welcome change of pace. The piercing “Nights Like These” and hard rocking

“The Last Song” thrilled the enthusiastic crowd.

Speaking of Keen, the 60-year-old Houston, Texas native delivered one of the long weekend’s most compelling sets. Hitting the stage a few minutes early (nice!), Keen and his six-member backing band performed one amazing selection after another, fusing country with folk, rock and bluegrass to create an Americana tapestry that worked on every level. The fact that Keen’s lyrical insights are as expansive as the tunes he writes was another plus. Highlights included the uptempo tap-along “I Gotta Go,” the cliche-free romantic sing-along “I’m Comin’ Home” and his set-ending hit “The Road Goes On Forever.”

Equally memorable was groundbreaking songstress Emmylou Harris’ amazing

hour-long performance in the Palomino. Backed by an acoustic trio, she opened with the tender “Here I Am,” her evocative soprano conveying emotion and beauty that actually silenced the normally-chatty Stagecoach audience. Other similarly-potent songs included the confessional “Orhan Girl,” a reworked and lovingly-delivered take of Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Boxer” and stunning recasting of Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush,” which brought this writer to tears.

Saturday, April 30Charleston, South

Carolina-based Susto provided a big excuse to get to the Empire Polo Club on time Saturday. Kicking things off in the Mustang tent, the Americana quintet reminded this writer a bit of Southern California great Dawes. The

band’s country folk nugget “Friends / Lovers / Ex-Lovers / Whatever” and introspective piano-adorned “Cosmic Cowboy” were among the band’s wonderful originals.

Another of Saturday’s standouts came from Magnolia, Texas collective Jamestown Revival, featuring the dual talents of singer-guitarist Jonathan Clay and singer-pianist Zachary Chance. Mixing up Texas rock, country-western and Americana in spades, the group rocked their original Gram Parsons-styled “Done Me Wrong” and a moving version of Haggard’s “Silver Wings.”

Young traditionalist Mo Pitney impressed throughout his 45-minute set on the Mane Stage, including with his infectious “Boy & A Girl Thing” and his aptly-titled “I Met Merle Haggard Today,” a latter based on a

band’s country folk nugget “Friends / Lovers / Ex-Lovers / Whatever” and introspective piano-adorned “Cosmic Cowboy” were among the band’s wonderful originals.

Another of Saturday’s standouts came from Magnolia, Texas collective Jamestown Revival, featuring the dual talents of singer-guitarist Jonathan Clay and singer-pianist Zachary Chance. Mixing up Texas rock, country-western and Americana in spades, the group rocked their original Gram Parsons-styled “Done Me Wrong” and a moving version of Haggard’s “Silver Wings.”

Young traditionalist Mo Pitney impressed throughout his 45-minute set on the Mane Stage, including with his infectious “Boy & A Girl Thing” and his aptly-titled “I Met Merle Haggard Today,” a latter based on a

true story where the singer briefly met his hero in 2013.

Former Creedence Clearwater Revival singer-guitarist John Fogerty packed the Palomino tent with his generous set filled with almost two dozen classics. After a fitting video tribute was shown focusing on the year 1969, including Fogerty’s band CCR and major events of the time, it was time for Fogerty to perform 75 minutes or so of classics (with a handful of new material). What isn’t to love about Fogerty and an amazing band (featuring drummer Kenny Aronoff) charging through some of the greatest rock songs of all

time; “Travelin’ Band,” “Green River,” “Lodi” and “Down on the Corner” for starters. And his folk rockers hold up nicely too (“Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” and “Who’ll Stop the Rain” in particular). A tremendous set to be sure.

Sunday offered a continuing parade of eclectic choices, leading up to the entertaining festival-ending performance from the solidly-performing rock legends the Doobie Brothers on the Palomino Stage and Luke Bryan on the Mane Stage.

That day kicked off with a memorable 45-minute turn from songstress Ruthie

Collins on the Mane stage. A highlight in her set was a cover of John Denver’s hit “Take Me Home, Country Roads” and her own breezy country-pop song “Ready to Roll.”

Singer-songwriter William Elliott Whitmore performed a solo set accompanied by his banjo, bringing plenty of wry lyrics to the Mustang Stage. “Old Beer Jones” provided plenty of laughter, as did my favorite track, the poignant “Civilizations” off his “Radium Death” disc.

Other highlights that welcomed concertgoers

on day 3 included a set of ‘80s hit singles and bona fide humor from American country singer Johnny Lee. The crowd that mostly filled the Palomino was singing along at full force for his 1983 hit “Hey Bartender” and most-beloved track, the 1980 crossover hit “Lookin’ for Love.”

Several fantastic performances closed out the Mustang tent, including an inspired set from New Orleans’ the Deslondes, a group able to expertly blend blues, country, gospel and roots music together during

a winning 45-minute set. The infectious song titled “Less Honkin’ More Tonkin’,” tuneful “Louise” and propulsive “One of These Lonesome Mornings” were among the songs showcasing the group’s distinctive harmonies and original song craft.

Stagecoach wouldn’t be the same without the inclusion of great bluegrass. The Earls of Leicester fully delivered the authentic sounds of bluegrass, genuinely putting new life into the genre via strong performances of “Big Black Train,” “Don’t Let Your Deal Go Down” and the incredible “Dim Lights, Thick Smoke.” Headed by Dobro master Jerry Douglas, it was criminal more folks attending Stagecoach didn’t get over to catch the group before checking out the Doobie Brothers or Luke Bryan - artists whose roots ultimately extend back to the style celebrated (at least, in part) by the Earls of Leicester.

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 auto-matically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000005721618. Informa-tion about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the sched-uled sale may not immediately be reflected in the

telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

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 in-formation. 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 mort-gagee, 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, 916-939-0772 for informa-tion regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Inter-net Web site, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9551-3058. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immedi-ately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the sched-uled sale. 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.

He now has the chance to take home an armload of Tony Awards for his sensational hip-hop Broadway smash-hit “Hamilton.” On Tuesday, May 3rd, when the Tony nominations were announced, the show also made Broadway history by garnering 16 Tony nominations. In the past Mel Brooks hit musical “The Producers” and Britain’s delightful “Billy Elliot” held that honor when they received 15 nominations. “The Producers” went on to win 12 Tonys; “Billy Elliot” took home 10. Will “Hamilton’ top ‘The Producers?” We shall see on June 12 when the awards are presented on CBS. The host will be CBS-TV’s “Late Late Show” host James Corden, who won a Tony in 2012.

Producers, performers and other theatre pros make up

the 846 eligible voters who will decide. With 16 nominations, the show has earned nominations in all categories from acting, writing and direction to design. The show, however, will not be able to take home all 16 awards since some cast members will be facing off against one another.

Thanks to the show’s phenomenal popularity, Miranda has also made American youth aware of an important part of American history, which is often overlooked in present day studies. So kudos all around. And, another piece of good news. We will get the chance to enjoy “Hamilton” when it comes to the Hollywood Pantages Theatre August 11 through December 30, 2017.

On May 30, 2016, “The Book of Mormon” returns to the Pantages for an extended run. This show was another big Tony winner. It was nominated for 14 Tony Awards and won 9. As you can see by this lineup,

the Pantages is the way to go for top theatre entertainment. Other shows in their 2016-17 season include “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” “The Kind and I,” “Finding Neverland,” “An American in Paris” and “The Bodyguard.” Season packages are available now at HollywoodPantages.com or by calling (866) 755-2929.

••••••••••••••Now here’s some movie

fun facts. Disney is on a really financial roll when it comes to creating popular family film fare. “Zootopia,” about a sly fox and a very capable bunny, has made over 900 million ‘bucks at the box-office and “Jungle Book” is fast approaching the 700 million-dollar mark. Wow! I’d say it pays to have Disney’s stock. And remember when Disney’s “Frozen” topped the billion-dollar mark?

••••••••••••••Now on DVD from Sony

Pictures: “Lamb,” written and directed by Ross Partridge from “Secret in Their Eyes,” is based on the award-winning novel by Bonnie Nadzam. This emotionally charged film star’s Partridge as David Lamb, a man struggling with the disintegration of his marriage and death of his father. Hoping to regain some faith in his own goodness, he turns his attention to Tommie (Oona Laurence “Southpaw”) an awkward and unpopular 11- year-old girl. Lamb is convinced that he can help her avoid a destiny of apathy and emptiness. To achieve this, he takes her for a road trip from Chicago to the Rockies, planning to initiate her into the beauty of the mountain wilderness. These two lost and lonely individuals set out on a journey that will change them in unexpected ways bonus materials include a commentary with Partridge and Laurence, deleted scenes and a Lamb Landscape video. Running time

97 minutes. The film is rated R for some disturbing behavior, sexuality and language.

••••••••••••••“The 5th Wave” is based

upon a novel by Rick Yancey and deals with four waves of increasingly deadly alien attacks, which have left most of the earth decimated. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie (Chloe Grace Moretz) is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the deadly and inevitable fifth wave, Cassie teams up with a young man who may become her final hope—if she can trust him. Running time is approximately 112 minutes. It is rated PG-13 for violence and destruction, some sci-fi thematic elements, language and brief teen partying. Bonus materials include deleted scenes, a gag reel, behind-the scene’s featurettes and more.

Story and Photos by Pat KrauseHundreds of people filled

the grounds at the O’Donnell Golf Course for the 23rd Annual Evening Under the Stars Gala on April 30th. The reception area was filled with everyone dressed to the nines. Drink stations were everywhere so there were no long lines waiting for refreshments. The Gala is a fundraiser for AIDS Assistance Program, AAP. The event is also a way to reward special people with humanitarian awards. The evening’s entertainment was by The Village People group.

Honorees this year was Senator Barbara Boxer with the Jeanette Rockefeller Humanitarian Award who said she was retiring from the Senate at the end of this year but was still going to be a fighter for HIV/AIDS. Terri Ketover was given the Gloria Greene Inspiritation Award and said she wanted

to acknowledge her husband Bart as the biggest supporter in all that she does. Cathy MacNaughton received the Herb Lazenby Community Service Award and was thrilled with the award. Emcee Lily Tomlin was smiling and proud when she gave her partner Jane Wagner the Joanna Jakway Community Hero Award. AAP gave an inaugural award this year to Walgreens as a Corporate Angel Award for their years of support in the HIV/AIDS struggle.

Guests were urged to bring their cell phones to the stage to welcome The Village People by taking photos and videos of the performance. As soon as the Village People came on stage the dance floor was filled with guests taking photos, moving with the music and some were trying to dance at the back of the dance floor. The Village People really know how to get the crowd on their feet to enjoy

the fun. They are a nationally well known group with hits like “Macho Man” and “YMCA” and are credited with bringing gay culture into the forefront.

AAP not only helps people with HIV/AIDS but others with health issues, and most are low-income people. AAP has a variety of programs but mainly provides food so no one will go hungry. CEO Mark Anton said that most of the clients rarely leave the program. There is always a waiting list of people in need and money is needed to help everyone. AAP survives on private donations, special events and local support. They get no state or federal funds. Each client gets a $100 dollar voucher monthly for food and necessities and must pass income and residency guidelines, and some are tested regularly for illegal drugs.

By Pamela PriceYou can reach for the

stars if you visit Sky’s The Limit Observatory and Nature Center in Twentynine Palms. This outdoor observatory is located a few hundred yards before the north

entrance of Joshua Tree National Park.

Visitors become stargazers when they step into the ‘orrery’, an outdoor model of the Solar System. We visited this open-air educational center on April 30th,, a windy afternoon for a tour of this extraordinary school learning center which has been called “one of the best places in the United States for astronomical viewing,” according to fan, James E. M. Schmitt. He reports this unique

nature center is highly versatile in its ability to instruct the public in the fields of astronomy and the environment.” Two new fans agree, Mark Farley, an experienced tour guide and David Parker, owner of Star Ranch in Joshua Tree During their first visit and tour of this outdoor observatory, they compared an authentic outside classroom. “The orrery here is true to scale and position, and the only one like it in the world. It gives you a genuine perspective of our Solar System.

You can learn more about the Solar System in five minutes than you can be reading a dozen books. Our guide, Mike Schmitt was knowledgeable and got us all excited about

astronomy. Their meditation

garden is surrounded by 20 Simi Dabah sculptures and a hiking trail. Mr. Dabah is a well-known Joshua Tree artist; his striking sculptures are installed throughout the high desert with several on Highway 62.

The Sky’s the Limit educational center is a 501.3c non-profit and is open to the public free of charge.

I recommend you go to www.google.com/earth where you can zoom into the orrery” as it is seen from space!”

The next event at the Observatory is scheduled

Saturday, May 7th when the “spring sky is dominated by the Big Dipper and Leo the brightest orange star Arcturus and the planet Jupiter.” This stellar event starts around 9 pm concluding around 12:30 am.
