‘A Bright New Boise’
2011 award winning play kicks off Dezart Performs season • Michael Buffer has made over $400 million from his trademark catchphrase, “Let’s get ready to rumble!” • After the terrorist attacks that destroyed New York City’s Twin Towers, thousands of radio stations across the country received memos from media companies with a list of songs they considered “lyrically questionable” for a grieving nation. The list included The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and (perhaps unsurprisingly) “Jump,” by Van Halen. • Martin Van Buren was the first U.S. president to be born an American. • Bacteria can live longer than four weeks in carpets, as well as other types of flooring, and can instantly transfer those germs to any food that touches them. In other words, forget that famous “five-second rule,” folks! • Fingers prune in water to give you a better grip. • Woodpeckers are the only animals to make sounds with something other than a part of their bodies. They will drum on a variety of objects to mark their territory, attract mates, locate food, or maybe just exercise or play. • During a 1976 strike by Los Angeles medical doctors, the death rate decreased by 18%.

T
he 2011 Obie award winner for playwriting by Samuel D. Hunter, “A Bright New Boise,” is a dark comedic work which depicts a Boise craft store thrown into chaos by the arrival of a new employee sorting through a tragic past. The play was also a 2011 Drama Desk nominee for Outstanding Play. In the bleak, corporate break room of an Idaho Hobby Lobby, we find Will, who has fled his rural hometown after a scandal at his evangelical church, who attempts to rekindle a relationship with Alex, his brooding teenage son whom he gave up for adoption. Alex works with adopted brother Leroy and co-worker Anna who lives a bland life nevertheless hoping for a dramatic ending. As their manager, foul-mouthed Pauline, tries ceaselessly to find order (and profit) in
the chaos of small business, these lost souls confront an unyielding world through the beige-tinted impossibility and meager profits of modern faith. The slow pacing and set create an inherent irony, juxtaposed against the raw emotion bubbling under the surface with the characters’ lives. Directed by Michael Shaw, the show runs close to two hours. “A Bright New Boise” takes the stage January 13-22, Friday - Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday - Sunday at 2 p.m. The Pearl McManus Theater at the Palm Springs Women’s Club is located at 314 South Cahuilla Road, Palm Spring. Tickets are $39 for matinee and $45 for evening performances. Tickets can be purchased by calling 760-322-0178 or by visiting dezartperforms.org.
Fascinating facts about KFC! • The famous paper buckets that we identify with KFC today did not exist until 1957, nearly 27 years after the original restaurant opened. Previously, you could only purchase single pieces of chicken. One of the first KFC suppliers invented the bucket dinner, which included 14 pieces of chicken, five bread rolls, and a pint of gravy. • Colonel Sanders sold his Kentucky Fried Chicken company for $2million to investors in 1964. He sold it on the proviso that he’d still have a place on the board as a quality controller, a lifetime salary and appearances in the adverts. • Kentucky Fried Chicken was not always known as KFC. Although it did begin in Kentucky, Harland Sanders first sold his fried chicken from the front of
the gas station he owned, which he called Sanders Court & Cafe. The original site, in Corbin, KY, is still open today and operates as a daily KFC, but with a museum dedicated to Sanders attached. • During his lifetime, Colonel Sanders always kept the blend of 11 herbs and spices for his trademark chicken in his own head, before writing it on a scrap of paper, which he kept in his wallet. These days, the recipe is kept under literal lock and key at the KFC headquarters; with just a few select members of the company privy to the information. • There’s a comic book about him too. The Colonel’s Adventure Comics depicts early events in Colonel Sanders’ life that eventually led to the discovery of his real super power: fried chicken.

Wine and All that Jazz to benefit Joslyn Center
Goals for 2023
ANSWER ON PAGE 6
ANSWER ON PAGE 6
I didn’t rush to create my goals for 2023, but the time has come ... One year ago I made two goals: to buy weekly food donation cards at the grocery store to give to the food bank and to continue to pick up weekly groceries for three elderly neighbors. I made it three-quarters of the year on both of those. Food prices just got too high for me to continue to buy a donation card each week. And picking up groceries for the three elderly ladies was no longer necessary once I introduced them to the food bank. Now I have new goals for 2023. I’m going to continue with “Growing Stronger,” the free 126-page strength-training book for seniors on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website (cdc.gov). I’ve reprinted new, blank pages for the charts, such as Long-Term Personal Goals and How Fit and Strong Are You Now? I’m just about ready to buy a pair of slightly heavier hand
weights. If you decide to start the “Growing Stronger” strength program, ask your doctor first if it’s appropriate for you. And remember: Start slowly, with low weights. In the tech category, my goal is to successfully set up a personal Wi-Fi hotspot. (A hotspot is letting your phone’s cellular service serve as WiFi.) This desire comes after a day with no power during a storm. No power meant no computer, but I did have cellphone service. Had I been able to set up a hotspot, I would have been able to access the internet on my tablet. If you decide to try this, be mindful of security. As a final goal for the year, I’m going to have a banana each and every day. Whether it’s sliced over cereal or put in a smoothie, I’ll get my fiber, magnesium, potassium and vitamins B6 and C ... like it or not. (c) 2023 King Features Synd., Inc.

The American Express features top pro golfers, live concerts, food and drink galorw
Spectators attend for the golf and stay for the live entertainment…or maybe the other way around? The PGA Tour returns to the Coachella Valley for “The Amex” golf tournament, a 72-hole event featuring the world’s best professional golfers with a purse of $8 million. Since its introduction in 1960 as the Palm Springs Golf Classic, the tournament has generated more than $60 million for local nonprofits. Announced players to date include Tony Finau, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay and Scottie Scheffler. The roster of 156 professional golfers will play a round each at PGA West’s Stadium Course and Nicklaus Tournament Course over the first two rounds on Thursday and Friday before playing the Stadium Course exclusively on the weekend after the 36-hole cut. Play will also take place at La Quinta Country Club. The tournament evolved from the Thunderbird Invitational and was renamed the Bob Hope Desert Classic in 1965 and the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in 1986. It has since been dubbed the Humana Challenge, CareerBuilder Challenge, Desert Classic and now The American Express. It is part of the tour’s early season “West Coast Swing.”
The mega highlight…? The live entertainment, where all Friday and Saturday ticket holders get to rock out to top of the line concerts. On Friday January 20, powerhouse Gwen Stefani takes the stage, and on Saturday January 21, favorite Darius Rucker performs. Shows start on the Stadium Course driving range around 5 p.m. after play concludes. Hospitality options abound with food and drink at the Casamigos Deck on the 18th green; Michelob Ultra Beers For Birdies with discounted brews; Club 18 behind the 18th green with hosted lunch and adult beverages; and Champions Club, included with the Champions Club ticket, with exclusive access to the 18th green and hosted breakfast, lunch, snacks, and a full bar as well as access to the upgraded concert viewing section. For bigger spenders, “The Rock at Alcatraz” executive suites on the iconic 17th green include four days of golf with food and drink, flat screen television and tiered seating. The American Express is held January 16-22, gates open at 7:30 a.m., tee times at 8:30 a.m. at PGA West is located at 56150 PGA Boulevard in La Quinta. For tickets visit theamexgolf.com

The Palm Springs Cultural Center is pleased to announce the first annual ModernPlus Palm Springs Keyboard Series will take place on three nights - January 17, 18 and 19. It is built around the private collection of instruments belonging to Dr. Charles Metz. The centerpiece is a rare modern grand piano, a Bösendorfer instrument, built as one of only six, in 1958 for the World’s Fair in Brussels. All three nights of the series will contrast the 1958 Bösendorfer Grand Piano with earlier instruments from Dr. Metz’ collection, including a reproduction fortepiano, and an early 19th century square piano built by a company owned by the composer Muzio Clementi. The intent is to entertain audiences not only with performances on this range of instruments, but to also educate them about the evolution of keyboard
instruments over the course of centuries. World renowned American concert pianist Angie Zhang will perform all three nights of the series and play all three instruments. Zhang is among the most celebrated and impactful artists in today’s classical music scene. Tickets are available at psculturalcenter. org, at modernpluspalmsprings.eventbrite. com or at the Palm Springs Cultural Center box office.

A warm stew to chase the chill away As the mercury dips and the chill in the air make conditions outside less inviting, a warm and welcoming meal inside can be just what the doctor ordered. This recipe for “Jalapeño Pork Stew With Pickled Onions” from “Real Simple Dinner Tonight: Done!” (Time Home Entertainment) by the editors of Real Simple is tailor-made for a cold day. This hearty dish will warm anyone up, both from the heat of the stew itself and the spicy kick of the jalapeños.
Jalapeño Pork Stew with Pickled Onions Serves 8
• 4 tablespoons olive oil • 5 pounds boneless pork shoulder or butt, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces • 2 tablespoons ground cumin • Kosher salt and black pepper • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour • 1 cup fresh orange juice • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained • 12 cloves garlic • 1 to 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and sliced • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced • 1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar • 1 1-pound package frozen cut okra • 11⁄2 cups grits Heat oven to 325 F. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the pork with the cumin, 11⁄2 teaspoons salt and 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper. In batches, cook the pork until browned, turning occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a plate.
Add the flour and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pot and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add the orange juice, tomatoes, garlic, jalapeños, and 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Return the pork to the pot, cover, transfer to oven, and cook until the pork is tender, 21⁄2 to 3 hours. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss the onion with the vinegar, 1⁄2 cup water, and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt. Let sit, tossing occasionally, for at least 30 minutes (and up to 4 hours). Skim off and discard any fat from the stew. Add the okra. Cover the pot, return it to the oven, and cook until the okra is tender, about 15 minutes. If the stew is too thin, place the pot on the stove and simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes more. Meanwhile, cook the grits according to the package directions. Serve with the stew and marinated onions.
