Modernism Show and Sale. This is the Fall Preview kick-off for Modernism

Week. This event gives guests an early shopping experience with 40 world-class vendors showing their wares. Furniture, Decorations, fine arts, jewelry and retro items were shown to the Hundreds of

people attending. This event is a smaller more intimate setting and a preview for Modernism Week, which is held in February.

There were Book signings, classic car show and other events in this Columbus Day weekend. The event ran from October 9th to the 11th. One couple was busy looking at a retro radio and remembering what they listened to back then.

Every guest seemed interested in the various booths

with something to their special likes. Others just ooohed and aaahed at all the different items for show and sale. Vendors came from all over the west to bring their designs to this fall preview. Items came from the 20th century and a few from the 21st century so there was something for everyone’s taste.

By Desert Star StaffThe Golden State has

passed a law banning public schools from using “Redskins” as a sports team name or mascot, making it the first state in the nation to take this step. However, Confederacy-related names on public buildings will still be allowed.

Governor Jerry Brown, a Democrat, signed the California

Racial Mascots Act into law Sunday, but vetoed another measure that would have prohibited public properties from being named after figures associated with the Confederacy.

This makes California the first state to ban the Redskins moniker, and the law will become effective on January 1, 2017. Four schools that are currently using the name will have to

change it by then: Calaveras High School, Chowchilla Union High School, Gustine High School and Tulare Union High School, according to USA Today.

This move comes at a time when the National Football League’s Washington Redskins are under fire for their name, which detractors say is racial slur against Native Americans.

“The most populous state

in the country has now taken a stand against the use of this insidious slur in its schools,” activists from the group Change the Mascot said in a statement on Sunday. California’s lawmakers are “standing on the right side of history by bringing an end to the use of the demeaning and damaging R-word slur in the state’s schools.”

Redskins President Bruce

Allen, however, said in August that the team will not consider changing its name. Team owner Daniel Snyder has repeatedly said that he will “never” change the name. Republican presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Donald Trump also said they do not see a need for the moniker to be dropped.

Story and Photos by Pat Krause There was a reception at

the brand new Colts Lodge at 1586 e. Palm Canyon Drive to show the just remodeled rooms by an internationally known designer. Each room is individually designed for a guest’s comfort. This party was a way for guests to be able to see the rooms and the grounds now that the lodge has been completely redesigned. Special Guest was Actress Margaret O’Brien, who everyone remembers as a famous child actress, as Beth in Little Women. Her party arrived to the red carpet in a horse-drawn carriage.

Guests at the opening party were treated to entertainment, refreshments and appetizers

while taking a look at the fresh rooms. The state of the art upgraded rooms have all the new fresh amenities like microwaves, WIFI. USB charging stations, refrigerators and flat-screen TVs. Business guests all now require free WIFI, and almost everyone brings along a computer with them even on vacation to keep in touch.

There are 11 rooms, a full kitchen for guest use, and 3 gardens with a grand entrance garden with a desert theme and a beautiful pool and sunning area.

Guests could easily find the party on Thursday Oct. 8th because of the searchlights that guided them to the lodge.

By Pamela Price The stylish small beach

community of Solana Beach, CA in North San Diego County covering 3.5 square miles with Cardiff-by-the – Sea to the south and Del Mar to the north reveals an array of public art taking bike riders and visitors on a tour filled with art, poetry, local history, mosaics, sculptures and more.

Packing a stunning array of art into a compact space takes time to explore, so some people miss it completely if zipping by along Highway 101 by car. My advice is to slow down and park around the Amtrak station on Cedros Avenue and began the journey, which is a mere 2 ½ blocks long: look for the arched Cedros Avenue Design

District sign and begin Every Sunday from 1 PM to 5 PM their Farmers Market at the South end of Cedros Avenue showcases an array of local produce, pastries, crafts and chocolates.

While meandering along Solana Beach Coastal Rail Trail, except the unexpected while paralleling the Pacific Ocean, the route revealing sculptures, and bridges every step of the way. Pedestrian bridges connect Highway 101 to the Cedros Design District, now known for over 85 distinctive art galleries, boutiques, restaurants and more. While strolling along Cedros take note of Muttropolis a chic boutique for dogs with a lovely park for their shopping pleasure. “Solana Beach is one of the

most dog-friendly discoveries in Southern California,” said Jim Dunn, who visits often with his two Maltese companions.

Give yourself time to visit the art galleries such as Aaron Chang Ocean Art Galleries, Hand Crafted (Danny Burris and Michael Gamble are the proprietors), La Femme Chic, a classy consignment boutique. And for those who take olive oil seriously, the inimitable Temecula Olive Oil Company, where seen were olive oils infused with the likes of fresh basil to roasted garlic, available for sampling along with balsamic vinegars. Unexpected hand crafted bars of olive soaps and creams.

Amidst this mélange of art and cuisine on Cedros

Avenue’s Design District is the David Alan Collection, where rare petrified wood, miraculous wood carvings and monastic sculpture from Asia, Indonesia and unpronounceable islands scattered in remote regions are fashioned into furnishings from coffee tables to table tops, and in one case, a golfer swinging a five iron! If you tear yourself away reserve at least an hour to explore the inimitable Leaping Lotus, a gallery also on Cedros where a grand marble staircase leads to a secret second level, were discovered were countless mobiles of fluttering butterflies in all colors and sizes, all suspended, it seemed, in mid-air. If that’s not enough to take one’s breath away, head over

to a quiet neighborhood near the Amtrak station and dine at Claires on Cedros ( 246 N.Cedros Ave) a bakery and café serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Take time to savor their roasted broccoli omelet or French toast

Then take a moment to stroll around the corner and visit the West Edge Gallery (124 East Cliff Street) where Kirk Saber has colorful paintings covering every wall along with sculptures that tell a story. A convenient place to spend a few days is the popular 94-room Winners Circle Resort (winnerscircleresort.com) each with a kitchen and balcony or patio. It is across the street from the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, the second largest-horse racing venue in the western U.S. with a capacity of 44,000. Their slogan is “Where the Turf Meets the Surf.” If you spend just a few hours in Solana Beach, you’re sure to return to this irresistible gem, a pristine haven for beach and art lovers anytime of the year.

Pamela Pr ice is a Commissioner with the Cathedral City Public Art Commission.

California is the first in the nation to prohibit the term statewide, but municipal school districts such as Madison, Wisconsin and Houston, Texas have already done so, according to a spokesman for the Oneida Indian Nation, which has backed the Change the Mascot campaign.

Another bill on a racially sensitive issue didn’t get the same treatment, though. Brown,

who signed a bill outlawing the sale of faux Confederate currency last year, vetoed a measure to ban naming public property after figures from the Confederate States of America.

The bill was introduced by Democratic state Senator Steve Glazer, a former adviser to Brown, in the aftermath of the mass shooting in Charleston, South Carolina. The massacre catalyzed a nationwide movement to remove the Confederate flag from government buildings.

Brown said in his veto message that such an action was “long overdue.” But he said that the naming of public buildings was different and is “an issue quintessentially for local decision-makers.”

“Local governments are laboratories of democracy, which, under most circumstances, are quite capable of deciding for themselves which of their buildings and parks should be named, and after whom,” he said.

By Desert Star StaffFor many people, buying

or leasing a car is their first “big ticket” item. Having a plan for how this new vehicle will fit into your budget can help you be confident about your decision and keep your finances in check.

“P lann ing for la rge purchases can seem daunting, but having the right information about your finances can make it easier to meet your goal,” says Mike Kane, vice president of Consumer Credit Operations at Ally Financial.. “Get prepared so you can walk into the dealership with confidence.”

With that in mind, Kane is offering some tips to help you make a smart decision.

• Do your research. Sure, you’ll want to research what kind of car and options you want, but also do your financial research. Use free online tools like payment calculators or vehicle valuation guides to help you prepare.

• Evaluate your wants and needs. You may want the car with all the bells and whistles, but if it doesn’t fit into your budget, it’s not a wise purchase. Decide what you need versus what would be nice to have, and stick to that when negotiating.

• Create a doable budget. Whether you buy or lease, you’ll likely have a fixed amount to pay monthly for your new car. But that’s not the only cost to consider. Remember to factor in gas, insurance and any additional costs like maintenance or emergencies. A general guideline is to keep those total costs below 20 percent of your monthly take-home pay.

• Know your credit profile. If you are planning to finance a vehicle, your credit score can affect whether you are approved for financing, as well as the rate you will receive. A number of financial institutions, like Ally, have begun providing customers with their FICO credit scores for

free. Look into whether your bank is among them. You can also obtain your credit report from each of the credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and Transunion) for free once yearly at annualcreditreport.com.

• Understand your options. There are a few different options when buying or leasing a vehicle, such as paying cash, getting a loan from a bank or credit union, or negotiating a retail contract or lease through a dealership.

If you finance your vehicle, the length of the finance contract can impact the total amount you pay. The longer you take to pay, the lower your monthly payments will be, but your total cost to finance rises. Visit different dealerships to learn your options. It’s up to you to decide the best arrangement for your personal financial situation.

• Stick with your plan. If you plan to set aside a certain amount regularly for your monthly

payment -- do it! It’s easier to get ahead and build a savings plan instead of playing catch-up.

If you’re considering buying or leasing a car, brush up on your finances first, so you’ll be better prepared to walk into the dealership. (StatePoint)

Get Wise about Buying or Leasing a Vehicle

HOA Homefront – Why HOAs?

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCALKelly Richardson:

We have lived in three HOAs. What we have found lately is that no one wants anything to do with the HOA even though they signed up to be in it when they bought in the housing districts that require them. It is almost impossible to get knowledgeable candidates to be on the boards or to get

anyone to take the time to vote for them.

Most d is tu rb ing is the changes in the state requirements for the HOA. HOAs are being treated like mini cities. HOAs do not have the funding or the experienced members to do that level of detail even with a manager, and many HOAs are without a manager.

All new housing districts are based on HOAs and the fees they charge for common area maintenance is ever increasing.

I see only one reason for the HOA and that is to try to keep the properties in good shape. Otherwise they are a big pain for all owners.

How does one operate an HOA without board members or a manager?

Can the HOA be disbanded? Why can’t developers build housing without an HOA?

J.R., Lompoc

Dear J.R.:C o m m o n i n t e r e s t

developments (aka “HOAs”) are necessary because they allow for the collaborative sharing of land to maximize the benefits for the sharing owners. If collaboration is weak, the benefit of the shared ownership is also weak. Truly, not everyone is able or willing to share in the burden and the benefits of common interest community living.

California HOA laws are extensive and very detailed, and growing more so each year. Small communities generally are unaware and therefore do not comply with the laws, because they cannot afford legal guidance and typically lack the help of professional management. Furthermore, the law is “one size fits all,” which makes little sense for small associations. For example, I recently prepared a ballot package for an association of four members. Why? Because they cannot have a voice vote and must use sealed secret ballots, the same as the 500 home associations.

In response to your questions, associations need a governing body, the board, to make decisions because only the smallest of associations can consult all the members on decisions. Even the smallest associations should have a manager helping with their financial reports and budgets, because most volunteers do not know what they are required to do.

Disbanding an HOA is rarely

advisable. The association was formed to facilitate the shared ownership and control of the property. Without the covenants, bylaws and rules, how will the community pay for repairs and maintenance, or deal with the neighbor who refuses to cooperate and be a good neighbor? The answer is not to give up and abandon the common interest concept, but to start executing it better. There often are specific reasons why people will not volunteer (see HOA Homefront columns #9 and 163), so take a step back and see if a new approach is needed.

Developers (and we homeowners) need the common interest development configuration because it allows creation of innovative new communities where land is scarce, and enables architectural quality controls benefitting all owners.

The HOA is here to stay - so let’s learn to do it the right way, and reap the benefits of shared ownership living.

By Desert Star StaffWith children back in their

school routines, October is the perfect time for local communities nationwide to unite to raise awareness of bullying prevention through education, outreach and activities. This is the message from the organizers behind National Bullying Prevention Month, which occurs each October.

What was once historically viewed as “a childhood rite of

passage” is no longer the case, as far from “making kids tougher,” bullying can result in such demoralizing effects as anxiety, self-esteem-loss, depression and school avoidance -- and even lead to physical injury or worse.

The special month has its roots in a week-long campaign by the PACER Center, an organization that assists young people with disabilities. It has since expanded to a month-long initiative to combat bullying, and

is recognized in communities across the country, with hundreds and hundreds of schools and organizations contributing as partners.

This year, such celebrities as Lea Michelle, Zachary Quinto, Emma Roberts, Robin Roberts and others have taped special videos to campaign to stop bullying. More details are available at www.stompoutbullying.org, where students can share their own anti-bullying videos, as well.

Other organizations, like The Kind Campaign, are pitching in with school programs and assemblies. Information is about The Kind Campaign is available for parents, students and educators at www.kindcampaign.com.

PACER, which developed the initial National Bullying Prevention and Awareness campaign back in 2006, has gone on to forge partnerships with such education organizations as the American Federation of Teachers, the

National Education Association and the National PTA. To help individuals and communities respond to bullying, PACER is providing free resources for schools, parents and students at www.pacer.org/bullying.

Of course, all the anti-bullying resources can be used beyond the month of October, urge experts, to help inspire, educate and encourage people to better deal with and prevent bullying year-round. Source: (SPM Wire)

By Desert Star StaffWASHINGTON - The Human

Rights Campaign wants to know if the 5,000 percent increase in the price of a potentially life-saving drug is illegal.

The drug, called Daraprim, is used to treat a parasitic infection and has been around for decades. When Martin Shkreli took over New York-based Turing Pharmaceuticals, he raised the price from $13.50 to $750 for each pill. Brandon Lorenz, a spokesperson for HRC, says that puts the drug out of reach for many people who need it.

“People who are living with HIV, pregnant women, and so a price increase of that magnitude, borne by the most vulnerable people in our country, is absolutely unjustified and unprecedented,” says Lorenz.

HRC has written to state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, asking him to investigate if the price rise violates New York law. Shkreli has said the higher price is comparable to other drugs with similar life-saving potential, and the money would fund research to create a better drug.

The price increase caused a major outcry from health advocates and Shkreli has since said he will lower the cost, but has not indicated by how much. For Lorenz, that is little comfort to those who need the drug now.

“I think the entire world is watching, and people who depend on this medication for their medical treatment deserve to know what the price of that medication will be,” he says.

News reports indicate that only a few years ago Daraprim was sold for as little as $1 a pill.

– The second Monday in October should be celebrated as Indigenous Peoples’ Day alongside Columbus Day to better represent the consequences of Columbus’ landing in North America, according to a number of groups holding celebrations in Tucson today.

There will be events all day long at the University of Arizona, followed by a series of speakers at the Global Justice Center.

Jose Matus, executive director of Indigenous Alliance Without Borders, says the conventional narrative of

Columbus as a hero is misguided.“They say that Columbus

discovered America and they say that he named us Indians,” Matus points out. “And we say, ‘No, we were not discovered by Columbus or anybody else. Should not be a national holiday. We should not recognize a person that has not been good to the Indian community.’”

Native American advocates note that Columbus’ arrival brought previously unknown diseases to North America, which ravaged the local t r i b e s . A n d s e t t l e r s ’ clashes with the tr ibes resulted in much bloodshed.

Matus would like to see more respect for the positive role indigenous people have played in American history.

“We decided to promote Indigenous Peoples’ Day so that we could educate the community on the contributions we have made and promote indigenous rights, culture, education and history,” he states.

National Indigenous Peoples’ Day is recognized as a holiday in South Tucson. It was first proposed as a counter-narrative to Columbus Day at a United Nations conference in 1977.

At a time when there’s widespread concern that U.S. students are not prepared for a changing economy that relies on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), many parents are sharing some good news about how after school programming is getting their children prepared in these crucial areas.

Parents of nearly seven in 10 children who participate in after-school programming report that their child’s program offers such

learning opportunities, according to a new household survey commissioned by the Afterschool Alliance.

The special report, “Full STEM Ahead: Afterschool Programs Step Up as Key Partners in STEM Education,” found broad support among parents for providing STEM learning after school, and high satisfaction with these offerings among parents of children in programs that provide STEM education. Indeed, more than

half of parents with children in after-school programming say this was an important factor in choosing their child’s program, the new report finds.

“Afterschool is a dynamic, effective setting for innovative STEM educat ion,” says

Afterschool Alliance executive director Jodi Grant. “With their focus on hands-on learning and youth development, and the time they can give students to experiment, after-school programs are well positioned to increase STEM skills in this country.”

Here are some key findings from the report, which is based on “America After 3PM,” the most comprehensive survey ever to ask parents about their children’s participation in after-school STEM programs:

• A majority of parents say afterschool programs can not only help students gain STEM skills, but also that they should be offering STEM opportunities.

• Low-income, African-American and Hispanic parents are more likely than others to report that their child’s afterschool program offers STEM learning and strongly support such opportunities.

• Most afterschool students have STEM learning opportunities at least once per week.

• Parents whose children learn STEM subjects in afterschool report that math is offered most often.

• STEM activities are offered

more often in urban than in rural and suburban programs.

National and state results from that report are available at afterschoolalliance.org/AA3PM.

The report recommends engaging and educating parents about the important role afterschool programs can play in supporting STEM learning and increasing programming and investment.

“Afterschool programs can help teach the skills that will help the next generation thrive in the global workforce, par t icu lar ly popu lat ions traditionally underrepresented in STEM, because girls attend these programs at similar rates as boys, and African-American and Hispanic children are more likely to participate in afterschool than Caucasian children,” says Afterschool Alliance vice president for STEM policy Anita Krishnamurthi.

With one in five students in the United States unsupervised after the school day ends, challenges remain, experts say, and more afterschool programs that provide robust STEM education offerings are needed.Source: (StatePoint)

After-school Programs Helping Kids Improve Math and Science Skills

Childhood Obesity Drops in Southern CaliforniaBy Desert Star Staff

Childhood obesity rates have dropped in the past five years in Southern California, according to a recent report.

The study from Kaiser Permanente found that obesity rates fell by 1.6 percent and the number of overweight children decreased by 2.2 percent. Part of the credit goes to programs such as Activate Whittier, which promotes exercise and healthy eating.

Cristina Obregon, director of food services for the Whittier City School District, said school cafeterias now offer healthier food.

“They have choices on the salad bar that include the dark, green leafy salad mix and cherry tomatoes or sliced cucumber,” she said. “The kids

have the option to pick and choose.”

Activate Whittier chair Lori Tiffany said the whole idea was born in 2008 after a report showed that the child obesity rate had reached 25 percent. So her group now helps schools and workplaces make changes.

For example, Tiffany advised schools to stop selling sugary foods as fundraisers and sponsor events to promote exercise.

“So anybody passionate about a healthier community, they have to forge partnerships, they have to build relationships,” she said, “and then you’ve got to find the places where there’s political will to make a change.”

One such partnership is with Kaiser Permanente, which supports Activate Whittier with a grant.

Loel Solomon, vice president of Community Health for Kaiser Permanente, said better health for all means spreading the word.

“People coming together and realizing that to secure the blessings of health requires more than doctors and hospitals and medical care,” he said. “It means that we have to work outside of our medical office buildings and our hospitals with partners to address those big conditions that really drive health.”

The study, which looked at medical records for 173,000 children in Orange County, showed that the rate of childhood obesity went from 19.1 percent in 2008 down to 17.5 percent in 2013. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 17 percent of children nationally are obese.

Tens of thousands attend Man March in Washington, DCBy Desert Star Staff

The streets of the US capital were filled with tens of thousands of black men and women, who gathered at the National Mall to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March. Protesters called for changes to police practices in black communities.

Demonstrators waved flags, carried banners, chanted, and sang. Participants described a peaceful atmosphere with the air of a family reunion, despite the heavy presence of security barricades.

Some of the older protesters said they had attended the original Million Man March on October 16, 1995 and now brought their families to share the experience.

“This is a very special moment for me. Twenty years ago, I was by myself,” AP quoted Joey Davis, 47, from Detroit, as saying. “And 20 years later, I come back with my wife and five children. And so I like to think that over the last 20 years I’ve been doing my part in keeping the promise of the spirit of the original Million Man March.”

“There must come a time when we say enough is enough,” the 82-year-old Farrakhan said. “If I ask you your nationality, you’ll

point to some little spot on the map that you think defines you ... ‘I’m from Georgia’ – well good for you. ‘I’m from Jamaica, mon,’” Farrakhan said during his speech. “You are defined by the nature in which you were created.”

The protesters focused on the deaths of unarmed black men, including 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012 in Florida, 18-year-old Michael Brown in 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri as well as the chokehold death of 43-year-old Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York. Such police killings have triggered a massive wave of protests across the country under the banner of “Black Lives Matter.”

Judicial decisions such as the move by a grand jury not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Brown, have exacerbated the situation and sparked a movement against the excessive use of police force.

“It’s something that I need to do,” the 70-year-old protestor told AP. “It’s like a pilgrimage for me, and something I think all black people need to do.”

The original march gathered 800,000 people or more. Some estimates were as high as one million.

The 1995 march called

for improving life in black communities. Back then, women, whites, and other minorities were excluded from the protest.

However, this year organizers extended the invitation to everyone.

US President Barack Obama

himself actually attended the first Million Man March. This Saturday, however, he is in California.

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. (AP)

- A rippled white gourd weighing in at 1,969 pounds took the title Monday for plumpest pumpkin

at an annual San Francisco Bay Area contest.

Growers gathered with their gargantuan gourds to try to break the world record of 2,323 pounds, set by a Swiss grower during a competition in Germany last year.

It didn’t happen.But the winning entry at the

Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-off in Half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco, was no small feat. Steve Daletas of Pleasant Hill, Oregon, won $12,000 for the lumpy, 1,969-pound gourd he grew.

“It’s been a good year,” he said after the contest. “I’ve never

grown an official 1,900-pound pumpkin before.”

Forkl i f ts and special harnesses carefully placed the massive pumpkins on an industrial-strength digital scale with a capacity of 5 tons as officials from the county agricultural commissioner’s Office of Weights, Sealers, and Measures kept close watch.

Second place went to Ron and Karen Root of Citrus Heights, California, for their 1,806-pound entry. A $500 prize also was awarded to the “most beautiful” pumpkin based on color, shape and size.

With California in its fourth

year of drought, some said the dry soil deflated their pumpkin-growing dreams.

“No doubt about it,” Gary Miller of Napa, the 2013 winner, told Bay Area news station KNTV. He entered a 1,303-pound pumpkin.

Last year, grower John Hawkley set a North American record with a 2,058-pound entry. He returned to defend his title, but his pumpkin registered 1,447 pounds.

Organizer Tim Beeman said the contest kicks off the Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival this weekend.

Killing of Cecil the Lion Shines Spotlight on Trophy Hunting

Crowds gather to hear Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan speak at an event to mark the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March on the National Mall in Washington October 10, 2015 © James Lawler Duggan / Reuters

By Desert Star StaffAUGUSTA, Maine – A

new poll shows Americans are turning thumbs down on trophy hunting by a two-to-one margin.

And the same poll also sends a clear message about trophy hunting in states such as Maine.

Sixty-four percent of U.S. voters told a Humane Society of the United States poll that they oppose trophy hunting in the United States, and in Maine that usually means bear hunting.

“We know for instance, that there are thousands and thousands of bears that are killed – I believe over 3,000 in the state of Maine alone, as

trophies,” says Teresa Telecky, the Humane Society’s director of wildlife. “And other animals that are hunted as trophies here in the U.S. are mountain lions, wolves and bobcats.”

Seventy-four percent of those responding to the poll also said they oppose so-called canned hunting, where animals such as lions are bred and hunted in fenced enclosures for trophies.

Teleky says the killing of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe by an American dentist was a major factor in raising both awareness and concern about the trophy hunting issue in New England and the nation.

“African lions, polar bears, African elephants,” she points out. “Every child in America knows and loves these animals, and to think that, you know, Americans are the number one hunters of these animals and are bringing in all these body parts and trophies, I think it really hit a note of disgust among Americans, and I do think that played into these findings.”

Two-thirds of Americans in the poll supports listing African lions under the Endangered Species Act and 64 percent support placing restrictions on trophy hunting of native animals such as bobcats and mountain lions.

A new poll, conducted after the killing of Cecil the lion in Africa, finds a majority of U.S. voters also oppose trophy hunting for bears in the United States in places such as Maine. Courtesy: HSUS

By Desert Star StaffCOLUMBUS, Ohio – The

ballot measure to legalize marijuana is not the only controversial issue that will be before Ohio voters this November.

Besides legalizing the drug, Issue 3 would give 10 facilities the exclusive right to grow marijuana.

In response to concerns over the creation of a monopoly, lawmakers drafted Issue 2, the Ohio Initiated Monopolies Amendment.

Greg Coleridge, director of American Friends Service Committee of Northeast Ohio, says Issue 2 is presented as preventing monopolies from being created and protected by the Ohio constitution.

“It is somewhat of a Trojan horse that is much more than it is claimed to be and that in fact will centralize – that would, if you will, monopolize – the effort to try to get citizen initiatives on the ballot, and it is profoundly anti-democratic,” he maintains.

Coleridge explains that if

Issues 2 passes, the Ohio Ballot Board, which is comprised of representatives from the two major political parties, would be charged with deciding whether any initiatives would create an economic monopoly.

He says there would be no accountability and the board would control which citizen initiatives are allowed to be voted on, restricting citizens’ access to the ballot.

Carla Rautenberg, a move to Amend Ohio Network volunteer, contends another problem is that Issue 2 was fast-tracked through the Ohio Legislature with very little public discussion or deliberation.

She says it was written in a confusing way, leaving it open for political and legal interpretation.

“The language of this bill is so vague that it could be used to do very undemocratic things,” she maintains. “It’s a poison pill. It’s a sneaky, underhanded move, and it’s really frightening that there are so few people that are aware of this.”

The American Friends Service Committee of Northeast Ohio, Common Cause, the Ohio Green Party, SPAN Ohio and the Move to Amend Ohio Network all are opposing Issue 2.

The Ohio Republican Party, several lawmakers and the County Commissioners Association of Ohio support it.

By Desert Star StaffSYRACUSE, N.Y. – Syphilis

cases are on the rise in New York, with a 160 percent increase between 2010 and 2014, according to state health officials.

Some regions are seeing

more new cases than others, including central New York, with a 111 percent uptick between 2012 and 2013.

K. Daniel Reed, intervention specialist with ACR Health in Syracuse – which is offering free testing – says most cases

are among men having sex with other men. But he says the STD is now infecting populations that don’t suspect they’re at risk, such as white males.

“We usually have seen communities of color having these spikes in STD acquisition,”

says Reed. “So that’s kind of an unusual occurrence.”

Some health off icials suspect online dating websites factor into the recent spread of syphilis, but Reed says a lack of education and awareness are the larger problems.

Accord ing to s ta te health officials, for years STD outbreaks were concentrated in neighborhoods or schools. Some officials, including Dr. Quoc Nguyen with the Onondaga County Health Department, suspect dating apps like Tinder and Grinder may be contributing to the statewide outbreak.

“We have some savvy investigators who went into apps like Adam-4-Adam, Flickr, Grinder,” says Nguyen. “That may make it easier for people to have meetings or encounters.”

Syphilis can be treated with antibiotics, but Nguyen says the key is preventing more infections because syphilis is what he calls a “gateway” disease that can make it easier to become exposed to other diseases like HIV/AIDS.

You have many important skills. You also have the ability to completely transform thoughts and ideas of others in the world of humanity. There is an aura of concern and Right Relations and love that can extend from you to others. It simply needs your awareness and a context/place where you can teach. You are an initiating and charming leader. Cultivate patience.

As you become more sensitive to personal matters of diet and health you realize you can teach others. This will be a great service to many for few understand the working of the body and even less how to bring adequate nutrition into daily life. You are the sign of the illumined mind. Therefore, think on what information you have learned, how you can better serve first yourself and then all of humanity through nutrition.

It’s a gift to know how to play, have fun, understanding in life there is pleasure along with and amidst suffering. It’s a skill to have a hobby and to choose recreation during times of stress. Knowing these things allows for freedom and an unusual leadership. Your ability to play strengthens your heart, builds the golden body (aura) and affection from you to

the world streams forth.

Gardening is an intrinsic skill you possess. You nurture new life, seeing life emerge from the seeds of creation. In the womb of your awareness, things green and grow, bloom and flower. Be aware of and tend to all kingdoms around you, from young ones to elders. Tend also to your home, family and community. Each sign fosters a gift. You gift is foundational to life itself.

It’s good to take a long walk in your neighborhood, to understand its flora and fauna, birdsongs, your neighbors and the flow of traffic. It’s also good to make contact with family, friends and relatives, to study your relationships with them, make amends, send forgiveness, nurture love. In this way you demonstrate to others your capacities to make contacts which you releases Love and then wisdom.

Your skills of orderliness and organization, of detail and discrimination are deeply needed by humanity for many were not taught these abilities when young. Our parents were working with different energies. Virgo skills are highly effective. They lead to a sense of empowerment,

to success concerning practical realities and daily living abilities. Acknowledge your skills. Radiate them toward humanity. We then learn from you.

The Sun in Libra each year allows you to create a new identity, new skills and new choices. Libra’s powerful and dynamic energy can helps us learn new ways to use and handle money, tend to the environment, and develop the Art of Right Human Relations (RHR). Before the Aquarian World Teacher can re-appear, humanity needs Goodwill and RHR which results in peace. You lead the way for humanity in understanding this.

A crossroad appears, two paths. You see yourself walking both paths. You remember the story of Arjuna (student of Krishna), realizing you must choose one path or the other. Yet you walk the middle path to understand the polarities. Each path is an opportunity. Which path is best for you? Which has value leading to a state of happiness (personality and the past)? Which leads to service and joy and testing (Soul)? Which do you choose?

Are you making unusual

connections with others? Are you seeking a teacher or guide? Are you asking questions of your contacts with others, and are you sensing kinship different than before? All contacts contain an opportunity for radiating Right Human Relations. This creates a magnet in your life and in turn your hopes and wishes begin to come true. Think on what you do that is benevolent. Have benevolence as your goal.

The world may be honoring you in some form through how you present yourself, through your work or service or how deeply responsible you are. Should someone begin to stand in your shadow or shift the deserving light away from you, stand in another sunbeam. Always you show others your compassion and understanding. And offer deep listening. Deep listening ends suffering. Nothing you ever do is unnoticed.

It is an excellent time, before further retrogrades occur, to create long range plans and agendas, to contact friends, to begin a new journey, to make travel arrangements and to listen carefully to what your heart has to say. In all interactions do not argue, move slowly, tend to all communications with care. In this way the future flows into the

present with ease and harmony.

Show others that you have ability with money and resources. You’re often seen as unable to tend to practical matters. However, you’re very practical and skillful, although your process is very different. The important issues facing you now are money, resources all things financial. Some Pisces also may be seeking a new life direction, feeling they must start over again. Call forth courage & the Will-to-Good. Then Right Choice is made..

By KMIR News StaffDANVILLE, Ill. - Actor Dick

Van Dyke is taking steps to save his childhood home in central Illinois, which was slated for demolition.

News stories about the threat to the two-story home in Danville, condemned because of its tumbledown condition, reached the 89-year-old actor during the summer. He announced over the weekend that the house will be restored as headquarters

for a new foundation to provide scholarships to accomplished young performers.

Organizers of the Dick Van Dyke Foundation hope to establish a museum in the home where Van Dyke and brother Jerry lived during high school after the family relocated from Missouri.

After learning of the house’s dilapidated state, the star of “Mary Poppins” and “The Dick Van Dyke Show” recalled the

“happy memories drifting around in there” in a tweet to his tens of thousands of followers.

When the city condemned the home in December, officials didn’t know the Van Dyke connection, Danville Mayor Scott Eisenhauer said in July. The property’s last owner died in 2011.

Lance Kirkland, Dick Van Dyke Foundation board president, said in a news release that the organization is working with Todd

Regan, executive director of the Walt Disney Birthplace, to launch the new foundation, which will seek nonprofit status.

Van Dyke and his wife, Arlene, “look forward to working with the community of Danville to inspire the town’s young talent to follow in Dick and Jerry’s

footsteps,” Kirkland said in the news release. “The foundation hopes to quickly expand its reach to provide support to young singers, dancers and actors across the country.” Source: KMIR/AP

put on the first annual Smooth JazzFest Productions at the Riviera Hotel and Spa in their Grand Ballroom. The event was held on Oct 5th, and I was told they had only weeks to put it all together.

The Riviera Hotel was one of the original hangouts of the Rat Pack many years ago. Several hundred Jazz Lovers filled the ballroom to listen some of the best Jazz I have heard in years.

Top names in Jazz, Blues and Funk music grooved to the delight of all the guests attending. Slim Manicott, Slim Man, with Greg Vail started out the night. Joe Baldino along with Deanna Bogart had the place rocking. Deanna is great on the piano, but she shook the ballroom with her Sax. Local, Chase Huna, who really showed his talent on the sax, joined her. He and Deanna took turns playing solo at one point and then amazed everyone with their skill doing duets. Guests flocked the stage with cell phones to record this amazing music.

Deanna Bogart who is an award winning, singer/songwriter/pianist/sax player

c o m p l i m e n t e d the band with her talents. Our own local young man, Chase Huna, joined in the fun with his extraordinary talent on the sax. The two sax players got going strong and even sat at the edge of the stage to boogie down. Deanna calls her music, Blusion, as a combination of Blues, jazz, country, and boogie-woogie in her own style.

The headliners of the night were Greg Adams and East Bay Soul. Greg is a founding member of Tower or Power Horns and is an Emmy and Grammy nominated trumpeter. Greg and the band brought all types of music to the stage with soul, rhythm and blues and of course the best of Jazz. Other musicians listed were Hans Zermuehlen and Joe Navarro.

By Jack LyonsTheatre and Film Critic

Films about high school music concerts, choral groups and choirs have been around for years. “Mr. Holland’s Opus”, starring Richard Dreyfuss, as a music teacher aspiring to compose just one great piece of music, and the TV shows “Glee” and “Fame” come quickly to mind. But documentaries about music departments, teachers, and high school students on the subject vary; depending on the vision of the documentarian and

the willingness of real students and adults to participate.

The film “Big Voice”, made by award-winning filmmaker Varda Bar-Kar, receives its World Premiere screening at the Heartland Film Festival of Indianapolis, Indiana on October 18th. It makes its local festival debut at the LA Femme International Film Festival on October 17th in Beverly Hills, CA.

As with many things in life, big events often have small beginnings. Filmmaker Bar-Kar was attending a Santa Monica,

California, High School music concert one year and was moved to tears by the beauty of the choir’s ‘voice’. “I wanted to find out how Santa Monica High School music teacher and Choir Master Jeffe Huls did it. I realized that a documentary film that told the story of a dedicated teacher (Huls) who makes a profound difference in his student’s lives and to reveal how valuable arts education can be [in our society]”, became a reality in a year-long filming effort chronicling events that became the film “Big Voice”; now playing on America’s film festival circuit.

Huls is not only a charismatic and articulate teacher, he is also a creative, caring, and understanding person. High school teenagers, some feeling their oats from time to time or coming to grips with their real or perceived inadequacies, can be challenging to convince that they all possess talent. Huls is a gifted leader who understands his role as one similar to that of a military drill instructor during basic training. He teaches his raw recruits. He shapes them turning them into a polished unified choral group that gives each student a sense of self-worth and a purpose and a place in the world.

There are several of scenes of Huls either in repose, thinking, or planning that poignantly will resonate with teachers. Teaching is truly a noble profession, but at times one also can sense the feeling of what it must be like to feel the loneliness of the long distance runner/teacher. They can never really be your sons or daughters. They belong to society. But like parents everywhere, we worry and are concerned about their futures.

But it’s all up to these eager youngsters as Huls continually counsels them. The class and a year-end choral presentation by

the students demand discipline, hard work, commitment and dedication. That’s the matra they hear from Huls. To watch the young choir grow in skill and self-confidence is what makes “Big Voice” so compelling a film.

Obviously, the star of the documentary is Jeff Huls, but director Bar-Kar wouldn’t have so compelling a film without the cooperation of the students who feel pretty comfortable being trailed around by a camera crew. Their articulate observations and commentary is most impressive when one considers they’re just high school youngsters. But, on the other hand, it all takes place in Santa Monica, near Hollywood, where the living is easy and laid-back.

“Big Voice” is easy on the eyes and is very technically proficient documentary thanks to the director of photography Keet Daron and editor Robert McFalls, who know how photograph and edit all the footage being shot over the course of an entire high school year.

This is a film that needs to be seen on PBS and screens all over America. And by the way, our education system and our society now more than ever needs the Jeffe Huls of this world.

Uplifting documentary “Big Voice” hits all the right notes

By Desert Star StaffBERKELEY, Cal i f . –

Encouraging Californians to use the state’s light-rail systems instead of driving is being promoted as one way to combat climate change.

A report out today from UC Berkeley and the nonprofit Next 10 rates transit systems like the Metro in Los Angeles and BART in San Francisco, and finds that stations in downtown areas give California the most “bang for the buck” in terms of increasing ridership and fostering vibrant neighborhoods.

Ethan Elkind, associate director of the Climate Change and Business Research Initiative at UC Berkeley, is the report’s lead author. He says proximity to transit stations in urban areas is a factor that needs to be considered.

“We have to think about

walkability, proximity to amenities, affordability, number of jobs and households located there,” he says. “Also the percentage of people in those areas, either employees or residents who actually use the transit system.”

The report gave Muni and BART in the Bay Area a letter grade of B, which were the highest scores issued in the study. Los Angeles Metro Rail and Sacramento Regional Transit both got Cs, while San Diego Metropolitan Transit and Santa Clara VTA both scored a C-minus.

Elkind says the lowest-scoring transit hubs tend to be isolated park-and-ride type stations that draw suburban commuters, but are too far from jobs and housing to attract local riders.

“You probably don’t need to provide rail service to those

areas,” he says. “What you could provide instead might be shuttle buses, or bus-only lanes. There’s much cheaper ways of serving areas that don’t have high

demand and high walkability.” The report says communities

with low-scoring transit hubs can take advantage of the existing infrastructure investment by

making sure local zoning laws and other regulations encourage companies and real estate developers to locate projects in and around rail stations.

There is a joke that goes something like this: After a big earthquake, San Andreas said, “It’s not my fault.” However, a really powerful earthquake on that fault line would be no laughing matter, so be prepared to shake in front of your TV now that “San Andreas” is available for home viewing.

The film, shot on location in Australia, Los Angeles and San Francisco, chronicles what might occur following a magnitude 9 plus earthquake on the infamous San Andreas fault line. When this happens on screen, a search and rescue helicopter pilot (Dwayne Johnson) and his estranged wife (Carla Gugino, TVs “Entourage”) make their way from Los Angeles to San Francisco to save their only daughter. However, their treacherous journey north is only the beginning of an earth shaking (literally) adventure and when they think, the worst may be over; it’s just getting started. The movie, rated PG-13 for intense disaster action and mayhem throughout and brief strong language, also co-stars Oscar’s nominee Paul Giamatti.

Special features contain the following: commentary by director Brad Peyton, “San Andreas: The Real Fault Line,” Dwayne Johnson to the Rescue, Scoring the Quake, deleted scenes with commentary by director Brad Peyton and a gag and stunt Reel.

••••••••••••••Girls, hold on to you hats

because the men from “Magic Mike” are back with some sexier dance moves. In their new film,

“Magic Mike XXL,” available on DVD, the story continues. It is now three years since Mike (Channing Tatum) has bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, and the other remaining Kings of Tampa are also ready to throw in the towel, but they want to do it in their own way. They decide to end their careers after one last blow-out performance in Myrtle Beach with the legendary headliner Magic Mike sharing the spotlight with them. On the road for their final show, with stops along the way in Jacksonville and Savannah, to renew old acquaintances, Mike and the guys learn some new moves as they shake off the past in surprising ways.

Bonus features on the Blu-ray Combo Pack contain the following special features: “The Moves of Magic Mike XXL” (also available on DVD) and “Extended Malik Dance Scene.”

••••••••••••••Fans of the Showtime hit

“Penny Dreadful,” get ready to binge watch the complete second season which is now out on DVD. Once again, there is no rest for the wicked as a new evil step from the shadows to haunt Victorian London in ten new episodes. As Vanessa Ives’s (Eva Green) strange powers grow, she struggles to control her demons while devious forces cast spells on those closest to her —African explorer Sir Malcolm Murray (Timothy Dalton), troubled American Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett), the reckless Dorian Gray (Reeve Carney), loyal Sembene (Danny Sapani),

the anguished Creature (Rory Kinnear), tender-hearted Victor Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway) and the beautiful Lilly ( Billie Piper). In this unnerving world where literature’s most iconic and terrifying characters roam the streets; unlikely alliances form to battle unimaginable temptations.

Special features include: Video Production Blogs, Reeve Carney Round Table History of the Occult and Character Profiles.

••••••••••••••“Batkid Begins” is the true

story of a little boy with a wish that made two billion people smile when his “Make A Wish” came true. The documentary, directed and produced by Dana Nachman, chronicles the day when the world came together to grant one 5-year-old cancer patient named Miles his wish. He wanted to be the real Batman. His

story transformed and transfixed a city and a nation for one day as thousands of volunteers came from near and far to turn San Francisco into Gotham City, and social media cheered him on. His heart-warming adventure will make the whole family smile.

In the end, this true story leaves audiences to decide: did Miles need the world for inspiration or did the world need young Miles? Rated PG for some mild thematic material.

••••••••••••••Do you want to be terrified

and creeped out? Does paranormal activity turn you on? If the answer is “Yes,” check out “The Gallows,” which came out on DVD October 13, just in time for Halloween scares.

The fright-makers behind “Paranormal Activity” and “Insidious” have a new tale of terror to tell. In 1993, an

accident resulted in the death of a young actor during a high school play. Now, twenty years later, a theater group at the same school decides to resurrect the production to mark the tragedy. Not a wise move.

In an attempt to sabotage the play, three students break into the school at night, only to discover that the horrors of the past don’t always stay buried, as their cameras capture a series of chilling and inexplicable incidents that lead to a shocking climax. Rated R for some disturbing violent content and terror.

Special features include: “The Gallows: The Original Version” which is the same story shot guerrilla-style. This version is what caught the attention of Hollywood producers and ultimately led to world-wide presentation in theaters. There are also deleted scenes and a gag reel.

By Pamela Price The 1960s took center

stage on October 10th at the Architecture and Design Center in Palm Springs as the “Meet the A + D Center Rat Pack Experience” took off at 5PM. Many who were in town for the Modernism Week Fall Preview attended the event. This upbeat happening was an homage to an era when “music, love, and the high-roller Las Vegas lifestyle were ‘ out of sight!’ Honorary Chairs were Nancy Sinatra and her daughter, Amanda Erlinger.

“This was one of the most original membership drives I have ever attended in the desert!” Said Indian Wells resident Cindy Kjaergaard, who took the invitation seriously when it advised guests to dress up in their “1960’s finery.” Styled professionally to resemble the late, great Audrey Hepburn, Ms. Kjaergaard arrived holding a long cigarette holder (deftly fashioned

from chopsticks!) sporting black sunglasses and “killer” black high heels homage to the legendary 1960s movie star.

Guests were all smiles as they listened to the marvelous music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr as DJ Baz worked away at his groove machine. Rappers would definitely have felt ‘out of it’ at this party! Sydney Williams, Director of the A + D, Center said the current exhibit, Seeing the Light: Illuminating Objects would be on the show through January 3, 2016 at their Edwards Harris Pavilion. An endless stream of guests visited the exhibit, enthralled by works of art such as A Couple’s Prayer ( from The Prayer Cloth Series ) by Pat Lasch.

Original records of the 45 rpm variety were cleverly displayed as table centerpieces and an “ oh-so smooth “ Martini Bar sponsored by Tito’s

Handmade Vodka with hors d’oeuvres beautifully arranged by LULU California Bistro was most inviting. Guests were invited to tour the gallery that is now admission-free thanks to a generous donor. Coming up on the A + D calendar is their January 23, 2016 Exhibition Bauhaus twenty-21: An Ongoing Legacy with photographs by Gordon Watkinson followed by an ADC Symposium and Tour on Jan. 30 led by Michael Siebenbrodt, curator of the Bauhaus Museum in Weimar, Germany.

Free admission to the A + D Center, Edwards Harris Pavilion ( 300 South Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs ) is underwritten by a “generous donor” and in effect, through July 2017. www.psmuseum.org (760) 423-5260.

Live Music on the Bob Hope Stage. The opening party and reception gave buyers an exclusive look to be the first to be able to shop. The weekend gave other enthusiasts a look on

Saturday and Sunday that were not present on opening night. They had a chance to see and buy mid century modern

collection furniture, beautiful decor and vintage accessories and so many variations of fine art. All proceeds from the Opening-night party and reception benefited Modernism Week’s Mission to support education and community grant programs.

House and Business tours

were held on Saturday and Sunday. The tours included such famous homes as the Frey House, Palm Springs Tennis Club, Frank Sinatra’s neighborhood plus other architectural gems in the Desert. The Double-Decker Bus is always a favorite ride and there was even a Bike ride and after party. Sunday saw a Mondernism Yard Sale, a walking tour and of course more after parties.

By Desert Star StaffPR Newswire, Omaha,

Nebraska-It sounds simple. When railroad crossing arms are down or the warning lights are flashing, drivers and pedestrians must wait for the passing train. But last year, Federal Railroad Administration statistics reveal 915 people nationwide were killed or injured trespassing on railroad property.

Union Pacific Railroad this week launched a new campaign exclusively on social media, urging drivers and pedestrians to think about their personal safety first and wait at grade crossings. New videos depict different scenarios in which a jogger, young couple and father and son are stopped, waiting for a train to pass. When the arms lift, each proceeds

safely toward a spectacular future.

“ O u r m e s s a g e i s straightforward – Your Life is Worth the Wait,” said Scott Moore, Union Pacific senior vice president – Corporate Relations. “Union Pacific trains operate in more than 7,300 communities; too often our employees see drivers or pedestrians sneak around the gates. Even after applying the emergency brakes, it can take a mile for a train to stop; the risk is never worth it.”

To watch campaign videos and share this important safety reminder, visit up.com.

This is Union Pacific’s second safety campaign launched exclusively on social media this year. The first, addressed high school photography on railroad tracks.

If the crossing arms are down or the lights are flashing, you must assume a train is coming even if you can’t see it.

Evidence mounts for El Nino that could ease Calif. droughtBy Brian Melley

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Evidence is mounting that the El Nino ocean-warming phenomenon in the Pacific will spawn a rainy winter in California, potentially easing the state’s punishing drought but also bringing the risk of chaotic storms like those that battered the region in the late 1990s.

In the clearest warning yet that Southern California could be due for a deluge, meteorologists said in a report last week that the already strong El Nino has a 95 percent chance of lasting through the winter before weakening in the spring.

“This is as close as you’re going to get to a sure thing,” said Bill Patzert, a climatologist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, calling this El Nino “too big to fail.”

“In the abstract,” he said, “El Nino seems like our savior.” But if floods and mudslides develop, it’s

“not going to look like the great wet hope charging across the landscape on a white horse.”

A strong El Nino arrives about once every 20 years. Ocean temperatures show this one to be the second-strongest since such record keeping began in 1950, said Eric Boldt, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. That would make it weaker than the El Nino of 1997-98 but stronger than the El Nino of 1982-83.

Both of those winters were known in California for relentless rain, strong winds and heavy snow. Waves pounded the coast, mudslides rolled down mountainsides and floods swamped homes and claimed lives.

Storms blamed on El Nino in 1997-98 killed at least 17 people, wiped out strawberry and artichoke crops, pushed houses off hillside foundations and washed out highways. Damage

was estimated at more than $500 million.

The 1982-83 tempests left 36 people dead, damaged or destroyed more than 7,900 homes and businesses, and caused $1.2 billion in losses, according to the weather service.

E l N i nos can be unpredictable. Some have produced little rain, and some of the most damaging storms have come in non-El Nino years.

Weather models this year show a 60 percent chance of above-average rainfall in Southern California, but that figure declines farther north, Boldt said.

From the San Francisco Bay Area to Sequoia National Park, there’s a 50 percent chance of above-average rainfall. From Eureka to north of Reno, Nevada, that estimate drops to 33 percent. It’s likely to be drier in the Pacific Northwest and the northern Rocky Mountains.

California public agencies

have been warned to prepare for large storms. Boldt said he can’t count all the meetings he’s been to with emergency managers and local officials.

“That’s been pushed hard, and people understand this is going to potentially be a bad winter for water issues,” he said.

State officials are watching weather models and updating emergency plans, said Kelly Huston, deputy director with the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services.

“We worry that people won’t take it seriously because they’re so desperate for water,” Huston said. “If it downpours heavily over a short period of time, it’s going to be dangerous, not just a welcome relief they perceive to be helping the drought.”

The risk of rain is heightened in some areas by recent wildfires that have stripped away the trees and other vegetation that protect steep slopes from erosion.

Work is already being done to prevent debris flows in Northern California’s Lake and Amador counties.

Heavy rain will bring some drought relief, but it is not expected to erase the state’s water deficit, particularly if it doesn’t rain as much in Northern California, home to the state’s largest reservoirs.

There’s also the chance that El Nino will be followed by its sister, La Nina, a different phenomenon that generally brings cooler temperatures in the Pacific and a drier winter.

El Nino can affect weather well beyond the West Coast. The outlook for winter generally favors below-average temperatures and above-median precipitation across the southern U.S. and above-average temperatures and below-median precipitation over the northern U.S., according to the report.

Blackhawks Still Alive in DVL Title HuntBy Dan Marinelli LA QUINTA – When the

Cathedral City High School Lions arrived at La Quinta High School on Friday; the Blackhawks football team had one thing on its mind.

Redemption for the 35-14 shellacking La Quinta received from this same team on the same field two years ago – the Lions only win over the defending Desert Valley League Champions in 14 years.

Yet, with history on their side, head coach Dan Armstrong started this season 0-5. Defeating the lowly Lions (0-3 DVL, 0-7 Overall) wont be as simple a task as the previous decade-plus.

Even in a rare down year for the Blackhawks (2-1 DVL, 2-5 Overall), there is still a chance at a league title, and thus, motivation to play hard till the final Friday of the season. Knowing the hard-nosed Armstrong mentality, if there is even a slight possibility of a first-place finish, watch out!

With a win and a loss in league play, La Quinta is still very much in the hunt and the Lions were caught in the

crosshairs at La Quinta High School. Following a 56-4 win over the Indio Rajahs last week, the Blackhawks took their swagger with them to the field against Cathedral City, and marched to 35-0 victory.

Though one of the Blackhawks bread and butter is its unrelenting defense, the young offense is what needs to click. Scoring almost 100 points in the last two games, Armstrong has definitely found something.

“The last two and a half games, our defense is playing really well,” La Quinta assistant coach Bill Gadds said in an interview. “We’re not getting a lot of turnovers, but were running to the ball and playing smart.”

Derrick Kennedy got the home team on the board early with two rushing touchdowns, one of which was a 60-yard trek to the end zone. The score was 14-0 after the first quarter and never looked back.

Ricky Vargas ran in another 9-yard touchdown in the second extending the lead to 21-0. Down three scores at halftime, and showing no

signs of moving the ball on the Blackhawks defense, the game was essentially over for Cat City. Not for La Quinta, though.

In the third, Andres Sanchez punched it in from five yards, the team’s fourth touchdown of the game. In the final quarter, La Quinta quarterback Andrew Garcia tossed a 40-yard bomb to Justin Anderson for the final score of the game.

The Blackhawks held

the Lions to just 23 yards of total offense, while putting up over 300-plus themselves. Kennedy finished the game with 113 yards rushing and two touchdowns, Vargas ended up with 90 yards and Garcia threw for 156 yards.

With a little two-game win streak, the Blackhawks are now prepping for a match with the defending CIF champion Palm Springs Indians. Palm

Springs (2-0 DVL, 6-0 Overall) is undefeated and easily the league favorite.

“It’s a tough test,” Gadds Said, “but we’ll prepare and come ready to play.”

The Indians have the benefit of being at home but if they have one thing against them, Dan Murphy’s boys are due for a loss. This week’s game at Palm Springs High School starts at 7 pm.

A stunning soundtrack issued in connection with the Brian Wilson biopic “Love & Mercy,” as well as albums featuring the genre-blending Mindi Abair & the Boneshakers, legendary Kinks guitarist Dave Davies and indie rock outfit the Mantles makes for an eclectic mix of new releases.

Artists: The Beach Boys, Atticus Ross, Brian Wilson, moreTitle: Music From Love & Mercy (Capitol)You might like if you enjoy: The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Atticus Ross

Tell me more: It should come as little surprise that a celebrated motion picture chronicling two periods in the life of singer-songwriter Brian Wilson would yield one of the year’s most

compelling soundtracks. “Music From Love & Mercy” boasts a mix of timeless Beach Boys classics (“God Only Knows,” “Don’t Worry Baby,” “Good Vibrations”), selections from Oscar-winning composer Atticus Ross’ score, a terrific ballad written and recorded by Wilson for the film and even a performance from actor Paul Dano. Information: loveandmercyfilm.com.

Artist: Mindi Abair & the BoneshakersTitle: Live in Seattle (Heads Up International / Concord Music Group)You might like if you enjoy: The Boneshakers, Mindi Abair

Tell me more: A full-on fusion of blues, rock, soul, R&B and funk collide across Mindi Abair & the Boneshakers’ concert

release “Live in Seattle.” The 14-track disc is truly an exercise in genre-smashing sonics with sax virtuoso-singer Mindi Abair and Detroit blues-rock outfit the Boneshakers playing with a freewheeling level of excitement across a mix of instrumentals and vocal tracks. Boneshakers guitar great Randy Jacobs and singer Sweet Pea Atkinson are talented and forceful enough to match Abair’s dynamic musical presence, and every member of the Motor City musical ensemble adds spice to the mix. Information: concordmusicgroup.com.

Artist: Dave DaviesTitle: Rippin’ Up New York City: Live at the City Winery (Red River Entertainment)You might like if you enjoy: The Kinks, Blur

Tell me more: Although it is uncertain whether the Kinks will ever reform, fans of the seminal British rockers should be thrilled to hear Dave Davies’ “Rippin’ Up New York City: Live at the City Winery.” The 16-track collection, culled from two concert performances by Davies and his band (including legendary Smithereens drummer Dennis Diken) in November 2014, features a mix of classic Kinks gems (“All Day and All of the Night,” “You Really Got Me”) and solo material (including ‘60s favorites “Suzannahs Still Alive” and “Death of a Clown”). Davies is obviously thrilled to be back in front of a crowd and plays with a spirited exuberance on the rockers and a surefire touch on the baroque ballad “Flowers in the Rain.” Information: DaveDavies.com.

Artist: The MantlesTitle: All Odds End (Slumberland Records)You might like if you enjoy: The Donkeys, The Lucy Show, Papercuts

Tell me more: Bay Area psychedelic pop outfit the Mantles are on to something special on their new full-length effort “All Odds End.” From the lilting “Island” and “Lately” to the more focused “Lay it Down” and “Hate to See You Go,” there is a cool low-fi groove that is intoxicating and joyful. Fans of the early ‘80s so-called Paisley Underground scene will definitely dig “All Odds End.” Even on the indie rocker “Police My Love,” there is an overriding spirit of swirling psychedelia that calms the spirit.

NOTICE TO READERS Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the above clas-sifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employ-ment but rather supply the read-ers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at

home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars.

Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada. California law re-quires that contractors taking jobs that total $500 or more (labor and/or materials) must be licensed by the Contractors State License Board. State law also requires that contractors include their license number on all advertising. You can check the status of your licensed contractor at www.cslb.ca.gov or 800-321-CSLB

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.

Tips to Manage Pain from Arthritis NaturallyOne in five adults in the

United States now reports having doctor-diagnosed arthritis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For those living with the chronic pain of this disease, learning how to manage arthritis is crucial to the health and happiness of millions of Americans.

With that in mind, here are several natural ways to reduce complications and pain associated with arthritis:

• Those who are overweight or obese are diagnosed with an arthritis symptom more often than those with a lower body mass index, according to CDC statistics. Take a load off your joints by maintaining a healthy weight. Weight loss has also been linked to less pain from arthritis, especially in the knees, which bear the brunt of excess pounds.

• Evidence indicates that both endurance and resistance exercise can provide significant benefits to those with osteoarthritis, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. However,

arthritis patients should typically avoid placing too much pressure on joints. Low-impact exercises such as biking, swimming and walking are recommended treatments for arthritis. A doctor or physical therapist is a good resource for helping you make a fitness game plan.

• No matter what precautions you take, pain from your condition is sometimes inevitable. And when it’s severe, it can be debilitating.

Some arthritis medications mask pain, which may make it harder to gauge the status of your condition. A homeopathic medicine, however, works naturally with your body to ease suffering from arthritis pain.

“Joint pains are common in my practice so I often recommend Arnicare Arthritis Tablets,” says Dr. Albert Levy of Manhattan Family Practice in New York City (Manhattanfamilypractice.com). “I feel confident in recommending it because it won’t interfere with other medications and homeopathic medicines, such as this, are one of the safest classes of drugs.”

Arnicare Arthritis Tablets are

quick-dissolving homeopathic tablets that relieve minor aches and pains associated with arthritis, specifically from stiff or swollen joints and flare-ups caused by changes in weather. They can be a good option for those with multiple conditions. More information can be

found at www.Arnicare.com.• Stiff joints can be painful.

Stretch regularly to prevent stiffness. Full range of motion exercises can help you stay limber and maintain function.

Arthritis actually refers to more than 100 different kinds of musculoskeletal disorders that

affect people of all ages. If you’re one of the millions of Americans suffering from arthritis, take natural steps to prevent and manage the pain associated with your condition. StatePoint

Bighorn sheep at National Park contract pneumonia

DHS Cutting Down on Greenhouse Gases

Fall Tourist Season Begins Early This Year

KMIR News StaffTWENTYNINE PALMS, Ca.

-The bighorn sheep population at Joshua Tree National Park have contracted pneumonia, according to park officials.

The first report of a sick bighorn was reported in May of this year. In August, a dead lamb was found in the park and sent to a laboratory for necropsy. The results analysis of blood and tissue samples confirmed that the sheep was infected with pneumonia.

Experts said the outbreak

among the bighorns could cause a decline in the population that can last a decade. The mortality rate for animals infected is 50-90%. They also said there is no vaccine or cure for pneumonia.

According to biologists, the disease enters into a population from contact with domestic sheep or goats. Biologists caution the public to avoid releasing domestic sheep or goats into the wild since they can carry the disease and show no symptoms. Source KMIR

By Carlos HerreraDESERT HOT SPRINGS,

Ca. -The city of Desert Hot Springs is taking a big step towards emissions reduction. Today the city accepted 9 compressed natural vehicles that will be used throughout the

city to cut down on greenhouse gases.

The city held a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the initiative of keeping clean air in the Coachella Valley. “Now we are about moving forward so that we can conserve energy at

the same time show the public that you know we all need to go green when it comes to driving automobiles in the city of Desert Hot Springs,” said Desert Hot Springs Mayor Adam Sanchez.

The city of Desert Hot Spr ings purchased 21

compressed natural gas vehicles through a one-million dollar grant. Nine of those vehicles were presented in the ribbon-cutting event. According to Mayor Sanchez, the vehicles will be used by city public works.

Mayor Sanchez said the new vehicles will help emission reduction, which is crucial in the valley. “It’s about us taking the lead as a city and I think people appreciate that now more than ever, so hopefully it’s an opportunity for the city to see what we are doing,” Sanchez added.

To round up their “Go green” effort, the city says some of the grant funds will also pay for upgrades to their new compressed natural gas station.

The city expects the remaining vehicles to arrive by the end of the month. He hopes other cities in the valley follow the lead of Desert Hot Springs, to create a cleaner Coachella Valley. Source KMIR

-Tourist season is upon us and it’s a couple of weeks sooner than last year. According to experts, the season keeps moving forward almost every year.

“Preseason is almost becoming season here this time of year,” Vice President of The Greater Palm Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau Bob Tebo said. The biggest reason for the early start of the fall tourist season this year is more special events, which draw tourism to the valley, he added.

Experts also said the recent nice weather in the valley also helps bring more tourists this time of year. “This is the time of the year, which is October and November where the temperatures are so comfortable where the temperatures are so comfortable that we do have

a lot of associations and small groups of people in our town all the way up to December tenth,” Chairman of the P.S. Resorts Aftab Dada said.

Last year’s season had record-breaking numbers and this year’s are expected to be even higher, Dada added. He said this year’s early start will be economically beneficial for the Coachella Valley, “ (it) “contribute heavily regarding the economy of our destination, which all of us enjoy those services year-round,” he argued.

According to Dada, more than 350 thousand snowbirds are also arriving earlier this year. In addition to the snowbirds, experts are also expecting more visitors, as more flights have been added to and from Palm Springs Airport. “You’re going to see that where you thought we only had snowbirds lets say from Canada, we now have

them from the New York area, Chicago area, Denver, Seattle and Portland,” Tebo said.

Meanwhile, some seasonal restaurants are taking adverting of the early season. Wally’s Desert Turtle, in Rancho Mirage, is opening earlier than last year. “We wanted to capture the local residents that are retired here in

the desert and live here all year-round, also, so many people are visiting here and staying at our hotels and we wanted to bring them in and also the snowbirds are starting to come back and ready,” Wally’s Desert Turtle owners Michael and Nicole Tobello said. Source KMIR

CONSERVATION

By Jack LyonsTheatre and Film Critic

Dysfunctional families have always been low-hanging fruit as subjects for stories, plays, movies, TV series, and novels for centuries. And why not. It’s reflective and resonates everywhere as to the foibles of families and a continuing fascination with the human condition.

Broadway and the movies for years made hefty profits off the behavior of flawed families and their secrets. The darker and quirkier the secret the more audiences clamored for tickets to watch avatars of themselves or, perhaps, someone they knew.

One has to go back only a few Broadway seasons to remember the awards heaped on “August: Osage County”, a comedic-drama that celebrates: alcoholism, drug addiction, adultery, incest, and a few lesser venial sins; all within one family who hurl more than 50 f-bombs from the stage, by its various characters, into receptive audiences.

The Mark Taper Forum is current ly present ing “Appropriate”, a dark comedic drama written by Obie Winning playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and directed by Eric Ting. For some audiences watching the play it must feel a little like driving past a roadside traffic fatality. We know we shouldn’t stare at the tragedy, but it’s so damn fascinating and riveting that it’s difficult to take one’s eyes away from the mayhem.

In the case of the Taper’s production it’s all about how each family member reacts to secrets revealed following the death of the family patriarch. It’s an old reliable format that allows the audience to see those dysfunctional family foibles up close and personal; where all get to ‘gunny sack’ one another over real or imagined slights that go way back and where all get to play the blame game.

I was reminded of the deliciously rueful comedic line delivered by Eleanor of Aquitaine, in James Goldman’s brilliant comedy drama ‘The Lion in Winter’, when she deadpans to the audience: “What family doesn’t have it ups and downs?” The formula worked in “Dividing the Estate”, “Daddy’s Dying Who’s got the Will”, and to some extent “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”. The first two being

comedies, and the latter a drama.

Playwright Jacobs-Jenkins is a storyteller who has a great ear for 21st century dialogue in America. In the hands of a very talented ensemble cast and its director, the play transforms a dense and very talky play into one that makes sense, despite that fact that we know where this story is going. Yet, we’re still intriguingly on board to the end.

When it comes to a brief overview of the story and what takes place on stage, perhaps, one word may be helpful in understanding the main characters’ shenanigans and actions: Baggage. Everything flows from their baggage. We all have it but only the flawed Lafayette family has it spades. Spoiler alerts make it difficult to summarize. But as I said before, we know where the narrative threads are headed, now it’s a matter observing these flawed people flail and wail. They don’t have a clue as to how traditional families function.

That’s one of the interesting and appealing aspects of “Appropriate”; that, and the stellar performances of the eight member ensemble cast. One gets to appreciate the exhilarating display of individual brilliance within a team framework. Ensemble casts need generous actors to pull it off. With that said, special mention must go Melora Hardin as Toni Lafayette, the titular head of the family who must run everything without being challenged. Everything is always all about her. She’s the sort of character audiences love to hate. She gets on everyone’s nerves with her irritating superior attitude including her brother Bo Lafayette (David Bishins), who isn’t that confident about challenging her on touchy family issues. Robert Beitzel as Frank, her flaky son, and his outlier girlfriend River Rayner (Zarah Mahler), who is not buffaloed by Toni’s bellicose attitude and. manner, and Missy Yager as Bo’s fiesty wife Rachel, are outstanding. Solid support comes from Will Tranfo, Grace Kaufman, and Alexander James Rodriquez (the performance I attended; the part is rotated with Liam Blair Askew).

It’s been some time, however, since I’ve seen a three-act production. They just don’t write that many anymore. Our millennials have short attention spans which producers normally

understand, but hope springs eternal when trying to capture audiences for the future.

The technical team led by director Ting features a picture–perfect southern plantation home which has the look and feel of a lived-in home wonderfully designed by Mimi Lien. Lights by designer

Christopher Kuhl; costumes designed by Laura Bauer, with sound by Matt Tierney, lend a ring of authenticity to entire production. I was puzzled however, by the opening of the play, which begins in darkness preceded by a prolonged loud buzzing sound lasting about 30 to 40 seconds, and is repeated

and the end of each scene and at the end of every act. (humm?) The audience (and me) could benefit from a program note clueing us in. Is it playwright dictated or director’s POV.

“Appropriate” performs at the Mark Taper Forum and runs through to November 1, 2015.

Dysfunctional families are still intriguing to watch
