Ocotillo Park Opens in Cathedral City grant applicants seeking park funding from the statewide park grant program,” stated Mayor Stan Henry. “More than $3 billion worth of park projects competed for a total statewide budget of $368 million. Thanks to the efforts of our residents, City staff, park commissioners and our elected officials, we succeeded in being selected and achieving this new, beautiful and vibrant park facility for our community.”
Cathedral City is a city on the move with the completion of many new projects. However the most noticeable, and probably the most fun for city residents, is the addition of “Ocotillo Park” to its portfolio of recreational spaces throughout this revitalized community. Named after the ocotillo plant, “Ocotillo Park” utilizes desert
landscape with lush and efficient plants including the namesake plant. The nearly $5 million park features two basketball courts, skate board park, soccer field/multipurpose field, baseball field with bleachers, two children’s play areas, adult fitness area, perimeter walking trail, active water splash pad area, restroom/con-
cession stand building, grand picnic shelter with barbeques, two smaller covered picnic areas with barbeques, entry courtyard, parking lot and plenty of seating benches, all on 5.05 acres. The park was completely designed and constructed thanks to voter approved funding through California Proposition 84 in 2006. “Cathedral City was one of 900
Located at the corner of Ocotillo Road and Moreno Road in Cathedral City, the park exhibits many environmentally friendly design features such as state-ofthe-art LED lights for the basketball courts and skate board park, solar-powered LED lights along the perimeter of the walking trail, and advanced sports field stadium lighting for the soccer/ multi-purpose field and baseball field. The park will be open daily from dawn to 10 p.m.

Notes from the Editor This past week has been a lot of fun. I went to the lighting of the Christmas Tree at the top of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. The tree and the views are both spectacular! I’ve also been to a lot of holiday party’s this year. Usually at this time I am out of town for a media event and now realize all of holiday excitement that I have been missing.
If you are looking for things to do, this issue is full of suggestions. From volunteering to filling a vacancy on a city committee, or having fun at one of the many centers in the valley....so much to do, so little time. Someone gave me six mini Hersey bars today, sadly (well not really) I just ate them all! My endorphin’s are reeling with happiness............. Françoise
I feel it’s never too late to decorate and get in the festive mood, keep it fun and don’t put pressure on yourself. At my Mother’s home, we put strings of lights on her cacti out front, they look beautiful at night.
Editor’s Inbox Dear Francoise,
Hi Cassandra of Palm Springs,
I am a snowbird who just returned to Palm Springs. The weather is beautiful here. I wanted to let you know that the paper looks very nice, and I always pick it up to read. I also wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Welcome back! Yes the weather has been beautiful, if not just a bit chilly for us full time desert residents, but we’ll take it!
Sincerely, Cassandra, Palm Springs
Thank you for the kind words and the holiday wishes. Merry Christmas to you as well and may 2016 be full of good health and many adventures. Cheers, Françoise

The freshly waxed shuffleboard courts are getting a lot of play now.
Our Christmas Party was held on December 4. The entertainment was furnished by Mike Chamberlin. He serenaded us with renditions of WW II songs dedicated to the service members in our audience. 1940s music, party goer favorites and then Christmas music was played. We all sang along. One of his favorite songs, ‘Eidelweiss’ reminded me of my grandparents who were from Vienna, Austria and their struggle to adapt to a new country.
The new combination recycling bin is in place behind the gates. Easy to understand pictures as well as words on the front of the bin shows what may be thrown in it.
Residents were asked to bring one unwrapped child’s present per person which will go to local deserving children. An abundance of appetizers to share were provided by the party goers. Hostesses were Nora A., Pat H., Terry G. and Camille M.

$28 Million in Undelivered Income Tax Refunds This year, the US Postal Service returned more than 49,000 personal income tax refunds to FTB. Most cases involve taxpayers who moved but failed to update their addresses with FTB. Taxpayers can use the Check Your Refund Status online tool at www. ftb.ca.gov, in both English and Spanish, to learn whether they have a refund waiting. Taxpayers may also call FTB at 800.852.5711.
While you are checking out the new trellis at Cathie and Jim’s home, look at the orange tree sporting huge Christmas decorations. First Christmas lights were up at #281 Penny & Carlos home. The icicle lights are up at the clubhouse. Reminds me of the time that Palm Springs had snow on the ground and on the “hands” and “heads” of cactus in that area. More lights here and there throughout the Park.
The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) is encouraging taxpayers to find out if they are among the thousands of Californians who missed receiving a total of $28 million in income tax refunds.
Once FTB enters a taxpayer’s new mailing address, a refund is automatically re-issued. Taxpayers are strongly encouraged to use direct deposit, which allows FTB to deliver refunds in a matter of days.

PUZZLE
Did you know?
The History of Christmas Tree Decorating become widely popular until people saw the ornaments brought to America by families emigrating from Germany and England in the 1840s. The ornaments available at that time primarily were German hand-cast lead and hand-blown glass decorations. As time passed, the ornaments became more elaborate, and expensive. Silk and wool thread, chenille and tinsel embellished many of them. Stiff spun glass appeared as angel and butterfly wings; tinsel was used on fancy flower baskets, vases, air balloons and egg zeppelins.
Although Christmas trees first appeared in America in the 1700s, the emergence of the modern Christmas tree actually dates back to 15th and 16th century Germany. Evergreens were used first in church plays at Christmas and were hung with apples to symbolize a Paradise tree. Paradise trees later found their way into homes, where they were adorned with small white wafers, and later, small pastries cut into stars, angels, hearts and flowers. Christmas wasn’t widely celebrated in the United States until the 1800s. As a result, decorated trees did not
Ornaments became a big hit. F.W. Woolworth of five-and-dime fame had reluctantly stocked his stores with German-made ornaments in 1880. By 1890, he was selling $25 million worth of ornaments at nickel and dime prices. By 1935, more than 250 million Christmas tree ornaments were being imported to the United States. Not until 1939 and the outbreak of World War II did an American company significantly enter the ornament business. Using a machine designed to make light bulbs, Corning engineers produced more than 2,000 ornament balls a minute.

Seeking Artists for Beautification Project The City of Palm Desert is inviting artists who are interested in creating artwork for two projects that will beautify local traffic signal cabinets to submit their qualifications to the City. For one project, the selected artists will work with students to create several proposed designs that will decorate a set of signal cabinets on the southeast corner of Magnesia Falls Drive and Portola Avenue. The City’s Art in Public Places Commission and City Council will select a final design from the proposals created by the artist and students. A digital image of the selected design will be used to manufacture a vinyl wrap that will cover the cabinets and showcase the artist’s work. The selected artist will receive $750 for their time and work on the project.

The second project will give an artist the opportunity to paint a set of traffic signal cabinets on the northwest corner of Fred Waring Drive and Portola. Artists are encouraged to submit their initial designs to the City. Up to three finalists will be chosen to receive a $100 honorarium and prepare final designs for consideration. The selected finalist will receive $1,500 to paint the cabinets. All materials must be received by Thursday, January 7, at 4 p.m. (receipt, not postmark deadline). For submission guidelines, images of the traffic signal cabinets, and more information, please call (760) 837-1664 or email: dglickman@cityofpalmdesert.org.

Angel View Resale Store is Moving Angel View, a nonprofit agency serving children and adults with disabilities, and the City Urban Revitalization Corporation (CURC), a non-profit organization working with the City of Cathedral City, have concluded a property exchange that will enable Angel View to more than double the size of its presence in Cathedral City. The exchange also paves the way for the City’s long awaited re-development of a hotel at the site surrounding Angel View’s existing resale store. For over 40 years, Angel View previously occupied what residents and shoppers had often referred to as the “big white barn” on E. Palm Canyon Drive near Date

Palm. The new location is one mile west of that in the former Touch of Class/Lumpy’s Golf store building (67625 E. Palm Canyon Drive) and will be 18,000 square-feet. The new store is currently being remodeled and Angel View plans on moving to the new location in early 2016. The new Cathedral City store hours will be Monday-Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sundays 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

HOROSCOPE
It Works! Removing sweat stains from baseball caps Baseball caps can quickly build up sweat and other oils that are naturally found on our heads and in our hair. In order to remove these stains, it requires a cleaner that can break down the oils and remove them. These steps contain several different cleaning options. If it doesn’t work, move on to the next one until your stains are completely removed. 1. Shampoos are designed to break down body oils so they can be removed. Apply a small amount of shampoo to the sweat stains and scrub the area with an old toothbrush. Rinse.
DECEMBER 17 - DECEMBER 23
3. Mix a paste with baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stained area and add a small amount of white vinegar. Scrub the area with a toothbrush. Rinse. 4. Dissolve two aspirins in a half a cup of water. Apply the mixture to the stain liberally and allow it to set for at least two hours. Add a few drops of a gentle laundry detergent, such as Woolite and scrub with a toothbrush. Rinse.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are those who find the treasures of others to be more interesting and exciting than their own. If those “treasures” can be stolen or seduced away perhaps they weren’t so precious after all. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Thinking about what you’re going to do may be even more important than doing it today. Visualization will give you stronger intention. It will pump up your energy and it will help you understand the “why” of your actions. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may do what’s appropriate when you’re around others, but when you’re alone you will bare your soul, examine it, know it, accept it. This practice of coming clean you-to-you is basic hygiene for the spirit. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s said that there are no bad jokes, only jokes that are badly told. This point could be argued, but you can’t bother with that now. You’re too involved in figuring out how you’re going to tell your “joke.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Styx is the name of a mythological river that runs between Earth and the Underworld. The river is named for a goddess with miraculous power. Today your own miraculous power will be found along the boundary of two worlds. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve been fantasizing about having more people on your side, and tru-

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s possible that someone is falling in love with you. It’s also possible that this is more attention than you need or want right now, but what’s to be done about it? You’re lovable, and you can’t help that! SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are things you write down to remember later, and then there are things you write down to enforce them now. Writing strengthens your intention and focuses your life force. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sir Winston Churchill defined success as “the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.” Indeed, your optimistic spirit will attract amazing good fortune. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are the best witness around now, and if you suspect that your version of an experience goes deeper than others, you’re right. No one sees the intricate details the way you do or feels the undercurrents so acutely. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The good experience is your pleasure. The bad experience is your teacher, more valuable and costlier, too. Generally people pay more to be educated than they would pay to be merely entertained. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As for the one who always seems to call you with some kind of personal agenda, you’re feeling just bold enough to have a little fun with this. Shake it up. Make it known that you see what’s really going on.
