Health Fair & Fitness Challenge in Indio
The City of Indio and the Indio Chamber of Commerce will present “Get Fit Indio” on Saturday, March 12, at Indio Community Center Park. This free event is dedicated to improving the overall health and well being of the entire community through education, information, services and encouragement. “Get Fit Indio” will feature ven-
dor booths focused on the principles of healthy living and the resources available to help achieve those goals, plus cooking demonstrations on how to prepare healthier dishes. There will also be martial arts, gymnastics, yoga, dance, cheer and basketball demonstrations. “In a time when so much of our focus tends to be on electronic
devises and video games, it’s important to educate ourselves about the pillars of a healthy lifestyle,” said Indio Mayor Glenn Miller. “This is a fantastic event for the community to encourage each other’s fitness goals while enjoying a day of sunshine and fresh air.” All attendees are invited to participate in the “Mayor’s Mile”
1-mile walk. Finishers 18 years and older will be eligible to win tickets to the Stagecoach Country Music Festival and Disneyland (only one prize per participant).

Community Spotlight Joshua Springs MHP, Desert Hot Springs
Ladies’ Luncheon went to the Olive Garden. There were over 20 there.
Park wide sale was on March 5. Hope you went home with some of our “treasures.” I found two beautiful bowls and a nice sized filing cabinet for all my flora, seed catalogs and fauna information. Found two blouses in the white elephants and a pair of “rockhound’ earrings.
There is a new dog in the Park named Rusty who is part Chihuahua and Doxie, who has his own playpen outside. He belongs to new homeowners Carol and Evererit. She said he could be called a Chiwenie.
Our neighbor cleaned out his greenhouse and had a trailer full of plant pots to give away. I brought home one of Roger’s pots - a lovely fish shaped one. There were 13 homes having patio sales thru out the park. Despite a bit of a small breeze we had lots of people coming thru. Bob & Phyllis S. 58 years married! Many congratulations!
Warmer weather brought out the fix-its. New sink and counter in one home, wider driveway for another, rain gutters being cleaned and new laminate flooring being placed and rec. hall doors being reset to close properly. New deck stairs for a home. New awnings installed full length of a driveway on the awning standards!

Filing Taxes Just Got (a little bit) Easier Now that it’s March, your annual tax filing deadline is fast approaching. If you receive Social Security benefits, one of the documents you need to file your federal income tax return is your Social Security Benefit Statement (Form SSA-1099/1042S). Your Social Security benefits may be taxable. This includes monthly
retirement, survivor, and disability benefits. About one-third of people receiving Social Security benefits must pay taxes on some of these benefits, depending on the amount of their taxable income. This usually happens if you have other substantial income — such as wages, self-employment, interest, dividends, and other taxable income that must be reported on
your tax return — in addition to your Social Security benefits. You will never have to pay taxes on more than 85 percent of your Social Security benefits, based on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules. To find out if you must pay taxes on your benefits, you will need your Social Security Benefit Statement (Form SSA-1099/1042S). You should automatically receive it in the mail each January. It shows the total amount of benefits you received from Social Security in the previous year so you know how much Social Security income to report to the IRS on your tax return.
The benefit statement is not available for people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), as SSI payments are not taxable. Whether you file your taxes early or wait until the deadline, Social Security makes it easy to obtain a replacement benefit statement if you didn’t receive one or misplaced it. You can obtain a replacement benefit statement by calling (800) 772-1213 (TTY (800) 325-0778), Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., or by contacting the local Social Security Office at 4201 E. Ramon Drive in Palm Springs.

When the big bird is just too much to wrangle, turn to a whole turkey breast instead. It’s just as festive and loads easier to handle. Here, a mixture of poultry seasoning herbs— rosemary, sage and thyme—is rubbed under and on top of the skin. Once the roast is in the oven, you can forget about it until it’s time to check the thermometer.
1 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
Turkey experts say the meat is safe to eat when cooked to an internal temperature of 170F. Although it’s tempting to rely on the thermometer probe that sometimes comes with the turkey, a meat thermometer is more accurate. The minutes between when the bird comes out of the oven and is carved, called resting time, are important, too. They make the meat juicier and easier to slice.
1. Preheat oven to 325F. Coat a roasting pan and rack with cooking spray.
Roast Turkey Breast Nonstick cooking spray 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 (4 to 5 pound) bone-in turkey breast
2. Combine butter, sage, rosemary, thyme, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. 3. Rinse turkey with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Loosen skin from both sides of breast by running your fingers carefully under the skin. Rub herb mixture under loosened skin and over top. Place turkey on rack skin-side up. 4. Roast 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast registers 170F. Transfer turkey to platter and let rest 20 minutes before carving. Serves 6 to 8.

PUZZLE PAGE
HOROSCOPE MARCH 10 -MARCH 17 ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even though you are a naturally curious person, it still takes work to pursue your interests. Decide what you most want to know and consider a few angles you might use to find out about this. Because you put in the effort it takes, you’ll have a breakthrough this week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are deep complexities in this week’s emotional landscape. You may have trouble identifying what you are feeling, and processing those feelings will be even more challenging. Chalk it up to being human, with much to learn. An air sign will help you keep a healthy perspective (that’s Gemini, Libra and Aquarius).
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some say that the bonds of family are the same wherever you are in the world. Then why does it seem like your family is so different from every other one you know? Well, it will continue to seem like this as the week progresses, but make no mistake — you are not as alone or different as you might feel. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Where are you on your “to-do” list of people to take care of? Maybe you’re not usually at the top, but when something difficult arises and/or you fall under stress, it’s time to reorder and place yourself up there. Loving words will be exchanged late in the week, the likes of which will be indelibly etched on your heart.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s an art to asking the right question of the moment. You nail this as you start your line of questioning with open-ended phrases such as “How do you feel about ... ?” and “What do you think about ... ?” By the end of the week you’ll know so much more of the heart of your loved one.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Make that risky bet, especially if you’re betting on your own abilities and instincts. Invest more aggressively in your dreams. What makes an experience meaningful is having quite a lot to gain or lose from it. The latter case will impact your psyche noticeably and you can use this to your advantage.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The issues that matter are all connected. Do not consider each in isolation. Also, it would be a mistake to focus on the quickest and most accessible solution now. The solution will be brilliant and simple, but first you have to think the problem through all of the way. This will take the better part of the week.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s going to take more than positive, uplifting words to motivate you today. Empower yourself using pictures, imagined fantasies, songs, peer pressure or social accountability and whatever else you can do to create some emotional impact around the habits you would like to create.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Choose your goals carefully. If you try to live up to an ideal that may be essentially false or, at the very least, empty, you risk losing your sense of self. There’s a difference between wanting to be better and feeling like you have to be better to be worthy of love. You’re worthy right now, “as is,” and don’t forget it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Ben Franklin thought that living within your means was the “philosopher’s stone.” Perhaps he was overstating the benefits of frugality, but this week it only takes a few savvy financial adjustments for you to feel better in at least three different areas of your life, including your job and a key relationship.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). All relationships require give-and-take. All require cooperation. Those who have trouble working with others, as a rule, don’t belong on your A-team this week. Carve out a special time and place to deal with them, intermittently, because they can be brilliant additions to your life, just not the main attractions.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Because you sense that you’ve a real chance to influence others, making people feel special is your first order of business this week. The fastest way to do this is to take your communication to the next level: You’ll find ways to clarify your message, make it more unique and also very specific to ones you love.
