Here in the Coachella Valley, the 501c3 nonprofit youth development organization is gearing up for its 8th Annual golf tournament. All proceeds from the tournament go directly back to The First Tee of the Coachella Valley.

“I think the biggest thing about our event is that we

have all our kids come out and represent us out there,” The First Tee of the Coachella Valley Dustin Smith said. “They intermix with the players, we usually have two-three kids do speeches, all of the players get to see all of the kids do their speeches, so it’s really cool to show our skills and what we’ve taught the kids over the past couple of years.”

“Last year I actually hit shots onto the par-3 which was a lot of fun but I’m especially excited to play in the tournament this year,” The First Tee of the Coachella Valley Student Braden Bernaldo explained. “It really excited me that all the proceeds are coming to The First Tee.

That’s going to enable us to use more equipment and help the younger classes, so they can have fun and do these activities that will help them become active.”

By Pamela Price The evening of April 12th was a sweeping success for the first-ever Spring edition of the Meet the Galen event held at the Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert. The setting was the picture perfect four-acre Faye Sarkowsky Sculpture Garden where well over 300 guests enjoyed the early evening reception now in its sixth year. Event sponsors were Faye Sarkowsky, Helene V. Galen, Jamie Kabler and Donna MacMillan. The Desert Chic theme was inspired

by event chairs Susan Stein and Paula Larsen.

According to Arline Amick Palm Springs Art Museum’s Director of Audience Engagement and Communications “between the music festivals and other major events, April is one of the busiest months of the political season. The Museum is the cultural hub of the valley, so we’re looking forward to tapping into that energy and attracting new members.” She was on target with a bevy of art enthusiasts decked out in

designer spirited fashions.

Among guests mingling in the in the sculpture garden in their “most fashion-forward ensembles,” was Mitch Blumberg in a cool sports coat worthy of framing. Waiting patiently in line for her photo to be snapped inside a shiny silver Airstream trailer was Rene Glickman. Nearby, guests dined on well-dressed sliders, Mediterranean lavosh and shrimp eclairs with lemon dill. Local artist Bernard Hoyes mentioned his latest exhibit at the Gallery at River at

Rancho Mirage. Never one to miss an art-inspired party was Barbara Paget with husband Bob, of Chicago and Rancho Mirage. DJ Austin Del Rio ( aka 80R) music greeted guests as they arrived at Saks Fifth Avenue lured ladies to their tented cosmetic studio with gift bags and individual 20-minute make up demonstrations. The latest good news from the Palm Springs Art Museum is their ‘turn-key’ private viewing reception program in progress during the run of their blockbuster exhibition

“Andy Warhol: Prints from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation” ideal for ‘ your company or preferred clients.’

Jennifer Snowden at the Museum has the details on how to create this once in a lifetime experience before the exhibit closes on May 28th. ( J. Snowdon@psmuseum.org).

The Palm Springs Art Museum is the most significant cultural institution in the Coachella Valley and includes three locations in Palm Springs and Palm Desert.

Story and Photos by Pat Krause The 7th Annual AmDocs, American Documentary Film Festival, was held on April 6th thru the 14th. The Palm Springs Cultural Center Program was the sponsor. There were over 170 films shown. This festival has grown so much over the course of the seven years that they had to add another feature. They told AmDocs Latino where they showed Spanish language films.

The Mary Pickford Theatre in Cathedral City hosted this event where they showed nearly 30 Latino documentary films on April 13th and 4th.

Films shown ran the gamut of every theme from Environmental issues to political and social concerns. AmDocs pushes the boundaries where they determine how films are defined. Teddy Grouya, AmDocs Film Festival Director, said because of the ever-changing landscape, we need to embrace the arts and our sense of humanity. Films change the way we look thru awareness and contribution to society. Grouya said he hoped that people come away with a new understanding.

He hoped that people would gain a new insight thru the

audience and filmmakers sharing of ideas and vision during the panel discussions.

The Festival held about a dozen filmmaker panels The filmmakers share a lifelong interest in making films, and These people have diverse careers in the industry as consultants, editors of publications. Business leaders, actress, Tech specialists, producers and more. These panels were held to teach and to learn from one another. They gave a new perspective on the Documentary world of film.

Several Celebrities made an appearance and held

Q&As for the public. Awards were given to some of these celebrities. The Rozene Supple Humanitarian Award went to George Takei, who is best known for his character Sulu in the Star Trek Series.The, Seeing The Bigger Picture Award, was given to actor Shea LeBeouf, and filmmakers Nastja Ronkko and Luke Turner for their film, Stakemeanywhere.

Actress Sunny Thompson arrived for her movie, Becoming Marilyn Monroe.

The closing night screening, Poisoning Paradise, was a film

by Keely Brosnan and was accompanied by her husband

actor Pierce Brosnan. This film was about the test sites in Hawaii that are poisoning the area where residents live nearby, and school children exposed to these dangerous chemicals. Big Companies and the Hawaiian government are turning a blind eye in the race for riches by these companies.

It is a wake-up call for all the Earth as it is happening all over our planet with very little control over the use of pesticides and other chemicals.

People need to make these companies accountable for their actions by getting involved.

Retirement Savings Gap estimated at 36 Trillion in the U.S.

By Janice Gough The challenges we face to provide our aging societies with a financially secure retirement are well-known. In most countries around the world, standards of living and healthcare advancements are allowing people to live longer. We should celebrate, but we should also consider the implications for the financial systems that have been designed to meet our retirement needs, which in many countries are already under severe strain.

One obvious implication

is that of living longer, which will cause us to spend more extended periods of time working. The expectation that retirement will start early- to mid-60s is likely to be a thing of the past or a privilege of the very wealthy.

One challenge is that half of the U.S. babies born in 2018 may live to 104. Longevity has increased from age 85 in 1947, to age 104 in 2018.

These following events are changes in society leading to pension shortfalls; Lower birth rates and higher life expectancies, Lack of easy access to pension plans, Lower interest rates and forecasts for lower growth in the markets. Lower financial literacy, Inadequate savings, and an increase in education to make individuals responsible for managing their pensions.

How will we build retirement income if we are using all of our earnings to support current retirees? On a worldwide basis, we have gone from eight workers paying for retirees currently to only four workers by 2050. Policy-makers must immediately consider how to foster a functioning labor market for older workers to extend working careers as much as possible.

One major obstacle to overcome is getting people to commit to Saving. Employees need encouragement to make a habit of putting money aside.

The self- employed, and

informal sector workers are least likely to have access to a workplace savings plan. Those working at smaller companies, where regulation may make providing a plan overly burdensome for employers, is a significant disadvantage.

The popularity of defined contribution systems has grown steadily over the past few decades, and they now account for over 50% of global retirement assets.

The way that these plans are designed puts a high level of responsibility on individuals to manage their retirement savings. Also deciding how much to save each year, which investments to choose, how long they are likely to live when they should retire, and how to withdraw their savings when they do decide to retire full-time. The information reported to individuals often does not make it easy to make informed decisions to try to meet a target level of retirement income.

Research indicates that most people are not able to answer questions on basic financial concepts.

Also increasingly crucial in the pension systems that require individuals to make critical decisions. The lack of awareness of the basics on how interest and returns will compound over time, how inflation will impact savings, and the benefits of holding a broad selection of assets to diversify risks means that many individuals

are ill-equipped to manage their pension savings.

10%-15% of an average annual salary needs to be saved. And this will continue to be a challenge unless the importance of higher savings rates is better understood and communicated.

Can We Limit Rentals?

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL Hello Kelly: We are talking about limiting the number of rentals in our HOA complex. I believe we currently have about 1/3 rentals. Do you know if there is a way we can legally limit the number of rentals? We have noticed the more rentals we have, the more damage is done to our property and the more trouble we have in common areas amenities (pool, tennis courts, etc). We are also concerned we will lose our FHA/VA approval if we have too many rentals.

Can you address the rental/ owner occupied issue?

Thank you. T.M., San Diego

and be concerned about their neighbors. CC&Rs address members’ rights and responsibilities, and operating rules also regulate conduct, but tenants are not members and so are not bound by the CC&Rs or rules. Perhaps this is why FHA/FNMA lending guidelines require that at least 50% of a condominium project be owner-occupied.

There was a widely followed case from 20052010 involving the Sierra Dawn Estates association in Hemet. The homeowners passed rental limitations which greatly affected one homeowner, Harrison. The association members passed restrictions that members had to wait one year after buying a lot before they could rent it out, capped total rentals at 20%, capped rental Dear T.M.: ownership at 3 per member, Many associations explore and banned long-term rental limitations, for various leases. Harrison challenged reasons. Rentals present the restrictions, which were a number of challenges, upheld at trial and on appeal, because tenants are less likely but the opinion was not to respect the condition of the certified as “published” and so property, take responsibility is not a binding precedent. for association welfare, In response to the respect association rules, Hemet lawsuit, the California April 18, 2018

Association of Realtors sponsored three different bills, each designed to protect owners’ ability to rent. After two vetoes, the third attempt was signed into law in 2011, creating what is now Civil Code 4740. That law creates an automatic grandfathering of all owners at the time the rental prohibition is adopted.

Does this mean that any rule or use restriction regarding rentals only applies to future owners? I take the language quite literally, so if the HOA adopts a rental maximum, that is a partial ban on rentals. In other words, if an association has a 33% rental maximum, then rentals are banned in the other 67% of the association. Grandfathering applies to all members, so the partial ban would only apply to owners who bought after the limit was adopted.

However, there are many other restrictions which can have the effect of reducing rentals (or rental problems).

Those would include a 1 year waiting period on rentals, or a minimum lease term of 1 year, or a ban on subletting, to name a few examples.

Some associations adopt a requirement of a “lease addendum” in which the landlord and tenant agree to certain things which protect the association.

Civil 4740(d) requires HOA landlords to provide the HOA verification of the date of ownership (to check if grandfathering applies) and also the name and contact information of the prospective tenant.

This helpful requirement is frequently overlooked.

Associations should check with their legal counsel to discuss the various options to address rentals (and rental problems) in the community.

Richard Olds, M.D., completed their training since is President of St. George’s 2007 are practicing in the University (www.sgu.edu).

Physicians Trained Abroad Can Ease America’s Doctor Shortage

By G. Richard Olds, M.D. A wave of doctors will soon hang up their stethoscopes. More than onethird of physicians will be 65 or older within a decade.

Their retirements, coupled with our nation’s aging population, spell trouble for the healthcare system. By 2030, the country may have 105,000

fewer doctors than it needs to meet patient demand. Over 40 percent of that shortage will be in primary care.

The solution to that shortage lies abroad, at international medical schools.

Graduates of these schools are far more likely to enter primary care and practice in underserved areas than their

domestically educated peers.

America needs more of them.

By 2030, the share of Americans ages 65 and older will grow by 55 percent. The doctor corps is not exempt from this demographic trend. Consider just one crucial specialty -- obstetrics and gynecology. Only 14 percent of OB/GYNs today are younger than 40.

Many regions throughout the country, especially rural ones, can’t afford to see doctors retire. South Dakota has enough primary-care physicians to meet 37 percent of the state’s total demand.

Nebraska’s primary-care workforce can only meet 42 percent of demand.

Worse, help isn’t on the way -- at least, not from U.S. medical schools. Less than 40 percent of U.S.-trained graduates chose primary care in 2015. And even that number is high. Many of this “primary care” group selected internal medicine but plan to subspecialize within the field. Less than 9 percent of graduates from American M.D. programs entered a family medicine residency between 2014 and 2015.

Landmark Alzheimer’s Study Urgently Seeks Hispanic Volunteers

Study focuses on early detection of Alzheimer’s disease and tracking it over time Hispanics are 1.5 times as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease

By Desert Star Staff More than 5 million Americans are currently suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, and scientists expect this number to triple by 2050.

Experts say that Hispanics 1.5 times more likely than white Americans to develop the disease. A momentous scientific study focused on early detection of Alzheimer’s disease, and tracking it over time, seeks healthy volunteers without memory problems, as well as people who have mild memory problems, and those who have been diagnosed with mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease.

The prestigious Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative – or ADNI – funded by the National Institutes of Health, is one of the largest and longest running Alzheimer’s disease trials in history. Now in the third phase of trials, researchers are studying how quickly things like reasoning and the ability to perform certain functions change in the aging brain. Researchers need to better understand the disease progression in order to speed the pace of discovery in the race to prevent, treat and cure Alzheimer’s disease.

DesertSTAR

“It is extremely important that more Hispanics get involved in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease, which affects nearly all of us in some way,” said Michael Weiner, MD, principal investigator of the study. “We need to know why and how Alzheimer’s disease progresses in Hispanics in order to discover new treatments that could significantly improve the way we treat it in the future.”

The study uses state-ofthe-art imaging to monitor brain levels of two proteins called tau and amyloid, both of which are significant indicators of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers track cognitive function through computer tests at home and in a doctor’s office, which includes measuring changes in one’s ability to handle money, a common warning sign of the disease.

“One of the biggest challenges researchers face is finding people to volunteer to take part in studies,” said Weiner. “We can beat Alzheimer’s, but we can’t do it without volunteers.”

The ADNI Study needs 800 people to enroll in sites across the United States and in Canada. Researchers are

looking for people between the ages of 55 and 90 who have normal thinking and memory function, as well as those who have mild memory problems

and those who have been diagnosed with mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease.

No medication is involved.

FAMILY FEATURES

ads typically love steak, so this Father’s Day, go ahead and shower him with some love straight off the grill. You can make the day even more memorable by sharing the grilling experience together.

In fact, it may be the perfect chance to teach your old man a thing or two with these tips from Omaha Steaks Executive Chef Grant Hon.

Choose Your Protein

Selecting quality protein is the starting place for an exceptional grilled meal. For example, the ribeye is the most well-marbled steak, meaning it’s super juicy, rich with beefy flavor and excellent on the grill.

Prepare the Grill

Always start with clean grill grates. Heat your gas grill to high or start your charcoal 10-15 minutes before you grill. Dip a paper towel in oil using tongs and oil your grill grates before adding steaks for a great sear.

Prepare the Meat

Pat steaks dry with a clean paper towel and season them before

www.desertstarweekly.com

they hit the grill. You can’t go wrong with simple sea salt and cracked pepper, but creative recipes like this Dukkah Rub can add a special twist.

Sear and Crust

Cook steaks directly over your heat source to get a tasty, crunchy sear on the outside of the steak. This is where the best flavor comes from, and it offers a delicious contrast to the rich, juicy inside of the cut.

Control Your Cook

Keep the grill cover closed as much as possible to maintain a temperature of around 450 F. This helps lock in flavor and

prevent flare-ups. Remember the marbling on a ribeye means more fat, which melts during cooking. This is a good thing, but you may experience more dripping or flare-ups if you’re used to grilling leaner steaks.

To minimize the need to open the grill cover, determine the amount of time you’ll need to reach your desired doneness then use the 60-40 grilling method. Grill 60 percent on the first side then 40 percent after you turn the steak over for an even cook.

Prep time: 5 minutes Active time: 5 minutes Serves: 12 1/3 cup sliced almonds, roasted with no salt 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds 2 tablespoons Omaha Steaks Private Reserve Rub 2 teaspoons sesame seeds On cutting board, chop almonds to rough texture and add fennel seeds, chopping until mixture is fine. Place almond and fennel mix in bowl and add rub and sesame seeds.

TASTY TOPPERS

Let it Rest

A resting time of at least 5 minutes allows steak juices to redistribute for the best eating experience. A foil tent can help regulate temperature during the resting period.

Garnish and Flavor

Whether you’re grilling vegetables, sauteing onions or adding a different kind of sweet or savory topping, just before you serve is the right time to garnish your steak.

Find more expert tips for summer grilling and the perfect Father’s Day gift at OmahaSteaks.com.

April 18, 2018

Once you pull a juicy steak away from the flame, there’s only one way to make it better: toppings that create a true taste explosion. When they’re prepared with fresh, premium ingredients, your friends and family may not be able to get enough of these sweet and savory additions. Simply mix them up while your meat is on the grill, or skip a step and rely on Omaha Steaks Toppers to capture the same delicious flavors without the prep work.

Crispy Onions and Jalapenos: Savor a one-two punch of crispy onions combined with spicy jalapenos for some crunch with a kick.

Dijon Mustard Aioli: Blend Dijon and whole-grain mustard with creamy Greek yogurt, garlic, tarragon and white pepper for a rich, tangy topping.

Mushrooms and Blue Cheese: Mix hearty mushrooms and fullflavored blue cheese with your favorite savory spices and a splash of sherry wine.

Smoky Bacon Jam: Start with the finest cuts of bacon browned to crispy perfection then add caramelized onion and an accent like brown sugar or balsamic vinegar.

Sweet Bourbon Onions: Warm things up with a medley of natural honey, bourbon whiskey and sherry wine offset by zesty red onions and balsamic vinegar.

Tomato Jam: Experiment with your favorite varieties to find the perfect balance of crushed tomatoes, sweet gherkins and seasonings.

Understanding and treating food intolerances in pets

By Desert Star Staff If your four-legged friend is exhibiting some unusual symptoms, thereís a chance a food sensitivity may be the culprit. Even for pets that donít have a full-blown food allergy, food intolerance can create problems that are easily remedied with a change in diet.

The length of time a pet has been on a food does not seem to affect the risk of developing adverse food reactions,î said Dr. Jennifer Adolphe, PhD, a companion animal nutritionist and registered dietitian. ìA pet can react to a food after just one feeding, or after many months or years on the same food. Just like people, every pet is different, so the degree of sensitivity to an ingredient can vary.î Knowing the warning signs is the first step toward understanding whether your pet is suffering from a food-related intolerance.

Cats with food intolerances may show symptoms such as: * Vomiting and diarrhea * Bloating and related symptoms, such as gas * Skin irritation, which is

typically rare in cats Dogs may display these symptoms if they are suffering from sensitivities to certain foods: * Excessive paw licking or chewing with paws often turning red as a result * Chronic or recurrent ear infections * Visible fur loss * Itching and rashes, especially around the dogís face, feet, ears, forelegs or armpits * Vomiting and diarrhea If your pet is experiencing any of these symptoms, it could be a sign he or she has a food intolerance. First, consult with your veterinarian to rule out any health conditions.

Once your pet receives a clean bill of health, switching the food your pet eats may help alleviate his or her symptoms.

Home-Cooked Elimination Diets: An elimination diet is a specialized diet that is fed to pets and excludes all suspect ingredients. Once a diet is found that resolves the symptoms, a pet is then fed potentially aggravating ingredients to see if symptoms reappear. If they do, an adverse

food reaction is confirmed.

The elimination diet will need to be closely monitored by a veterinary professional and followed for approximately 6-8 weeks to determine success.

Limited Ingredient Diets: A limited ingredient diet (LID) offers a single source of meat protein with as few additional ingredients as possible to meet the nutritional requirements of your pet.

Options like GO! Solutions

recipes from Petcurean are formulated especially for pets with specific dietary needs and food sensitivities, and carefully prepared with premium-quality meat proteins, unique carbs and essential omega oils.

To determine whether a limited ingredient recipe will work for your food-sensitive pet, you should eliminate all treats and other food sources. You may notice immediate improvements, but

your pet should stay on the new food for 8-12 weeks to ensure it is the right choice.

It may take some trial and error to find a food that works for a food-sensitive pet, but patience and persistence can help your pet live a happy and healthy life. Learn more about food options for pets with special dietary needs at Petcureango. com. #14182 Source: Petcurean Family Features

limiting instances of food allergies in the future.

A new study from Northwestern Medicine linked infant and childhood food allergies to a mix of environmental and genetic factors. Professor Joan CookMills headed up the research at Northwestern University and said they found that allergies were triggered by a combination of genetics that alter skin absorbency, the use of baby wipes that left soap on the skin, exposure to allergens in dust and skin exposure to food - even by something as simple as a sibling who has eaten peanut butter kissing a baby.

“What’s unique is that this combination of household exposures induces food allergies early in life,” Cook-

Mills said. “And if you leave out any of the components of this combination, it doesn’t induce food allergy.”

Cook-Mills said phase two of the study will be to figure out why food allergies have been on the rise. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they affect an estimated 4-6 percent of children in the United States.

Recent data also show hospitalizations with diagnoses related to food allergies have increased among children.

Cook-Mills made the discovery in the lab by exposing peanuts to neonatal mice. The peanut alone had no effect. But in cases in which there was a combination of peanut exposure, exposure to allergens in dust and genetic mutations that could have

been caused by something as simple as leaving soap on the skin, a food allergy developed.

She said what this means is that parents can reduce the risk factors for their child by doing simple things like washing their hands before handling a baby and limiting the use of infant wipes.

“These are modifiable environmental factors, but there may be also a better understanding of how food allergies develop,” Cook-Mills said; “and therefore we may be able to discover new ways to control this development, or even responses.”

The study was supported

by National Institutes of Health grants, and is published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

One Hour of Exercise for Smarter, Healthier Kids

By Desert Star Staff The American Heart Association recommends 60 minutes of daily physical activity for school-aged children. But most Iowa kids aren’t meeting that goal.

That one hour of activity is known to help keep weight off and improve kids’ mental and emotional health - which in turn can improve academic performance. But Iowa schools don’t require recess periods, where kids might get that exercise.

Carlye Satterwhite,

DesertSTAR

physical education and health curriculum coordinator for the Des Moines Public Schools, said educators need to encourage kids to get active.

“Healthy students live better lives, and we’ve got to be able to ensure that P.E. is part of that,” Satterwhite said; “because as students have good correlation with P.E., they have a good, healthy lifestyle, they’re ready to learn and they increase their test scores.”

The American Heart Association is backing a bill now in the Iowa

Legislature, House File 2243, to require school districts to provide certain physical education-related information annually in a report to the Department of Education.

According to the group SHAPE America, 91 percent of parents think there should be more Physical Education in schools to address obesity.

But, Satterwhite noted, 70 percent of high school students don’t attend a weekly P.E. class - which could effect their health as adults.

“All of us are trying to go April 18, 2018

down the same route to get students to have a physically healthy lifestyle,” she said, “whether that’s the eating component, whether that’s the exercise component or the hydration component.”

Satterwhite said 1-in-3 kids in the U.S. is overweight or obese - three times as many as in the 1970s. She added that parents should be concerned when kids spend too much time on cell phones and other electronic devices.

But she also reminds them that those same devices can

be used to help kids learn how to track their fitness goals.

“Get out and move.

Digital Spring Cleaning: Experts Urge Desktop Cleanups

By Desert Star Staff NASHVILLE, Tenn. – This weekend, you may want to set aside your broom and dustpan and use your mouse instead to do some cleaning.

With spring cleaning on the minds of many, tech experts say home computers also need cleaning - that is, the email inbox and hard drive.

Taking care of this digital housekeeping will help protect you from scammers and hackers in addition to making your daily life easier, says Russell Schrader, the executive director of the National Cyber Security Alliance.

“We’re saying go through and get rid of apps that you haven’t used,” Schrader says. “Clean out your inbox.

Look at who is using what part of your information.

Open up some space on your hard drive. Just get rid of all those things that might cause problems later on.”

According to Schrader, it’s also a good time to review your privacy and security settings on websites and make sure you’re comfortable with the information you’re sharing.

Don’t forget to include your location services and Bluetooth settings on mobile phones, since many apps are able to

Checking your location settings on laptop, browser and smart phone can help protect your personal information from scammers. (Twenty20) track your location and activity.

The Better Business Bureau Scam Tracker received more than 47,000 reports of scams in 2017, and the riskiest included online scams.

Nancy Crawford, director of marketing and communications with the Better Business Bureau of the Mid-South, says with so many people participating in the virtual world, it’s important to be vigilant.

“We do our socializing

online, we do our banking online,” she says. “We buy things online and we do our work online, and that information needs to be protected.”

The National Institute of Standards and Technology recently released new password recommendations.

After years of experts suggesting obscure passwords filled with upper- and lowercase letters mixed with punctuation marks, Schrader

says it’s now considered better to use long phrases you can remember, even if they’re lines from nursery rhymes or songs.

“What people do now is use passphrases,” Schrader explains. “Things that are long.

The longer the better, in terms of hacking; and they don’t have to be as tricky, they just need to be long and memorable.”

He adds it’s also a good time to back up important data on a cloud or external hard drive.

Grant will help build a Wellness Village to improve lives Parkinson’s Resource Organization receives gift from H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation

By Desert Star Staff Palm Desert, Calif., – Parkinson’s Resource Organization (PRO) is building a global wellness network for people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The project got a shot in the arm in April – Parkinson’s Awareness Month – with a $25,000 Coachella Valley Spotlight grant from the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation.

The virtual, vetted, videodriven website resource directory is called The Wellness Village, which is currently found at: http:// www.parkinsonsresource. org/wellness-village/. The site already includes about 60 professionals and products that support the Parkinson’s community, which include family members and caregivers who also seek specialized services associated with the disease. Each month, the website receives about 20,000 visitors, and social media reaches beyond

70,000 people. With the grant funds, The Wellness Village is expected to grow to an unprecedented number of partners and visitors from the Coachella Valley and beyond.

“We think that local is global and global is local,” said Jo Rosen, Founder and President of PRO, whose husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1989. Since then, she has committed her life to helping others going through the same life changes and challenges. “Most people affected by Parkinson’s go through the same struggles and have similar needs.

Researchers and wellness professionals all over the world are seeking relief for those diagnosed. The Wellness Village connects all of us in the journey of Parkinson’s until a cure is found.”

PRO was formed in 1990 with a simple mission: working so that no one is isolated because of Parkinson’s. The organization holds various

workshops, support groups and provides one-on-one coaching. It also distributes a monthly newsletter to people affected by Parkinson’s and offers other outreach to educate the general public.

“Parkinson’s Resource Organization has been enriching people’s lives for years, and we are happy to support them,” said Catharine Reed, Program Director April 18, 2018

for the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation.

The Coachella Valley Spotlight partnership also offers recipients media exposure by featuring the organization on CBS Local 2’s “Eye on the Desert,” in public service announcements and on the cbslocal2.com.

“PRO’s Wellness Village is innovative, utilizing 21st century tools to serve

decades old needs,” said Mike Stutz, General Manager of Gulf California Broadcast Company, which owns and operates CBS Local 2.

Disney-Pixar’s ‘COCO’ Is Now Out on DVD

Disney-Pixar’s animated “Coco” is the story of a 12-year- old boy named Miguel Rivera (voiced by Anthony Gonzalez) who loves music and playing his guitar, but music has been entirely removed from the family due to an unfortunate event that happened long before young Miguel was born. Miguel loves his family, who are shoemakers, and he is especially close to his great-grandmother Coco, but he also loves playing music, which is forbidden.

The story begins on Dia de los Muertos, the day of the

dead, a time when Mexican families make an altar where they place photos of dead relatives and loved ones along with food for them to enjoy.

It is also the day when the town is holding a talent show and Miguel is determined to enter and perform.

His plans are dashed when his overly domineering grandmother runs after him and brings him home. She then smashes his guitar to bits in an attempt to stop him from playing music ever again.

Undaunted, he manages to sneak away and go back into town. But now he has

no instrument to play, so the young boy tries to borrow a guitar from someone in the crowd with no luck. At this point he goes to the tomb of his idol, singing movie star Ernesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt). He stealthily enters, then climbs up and takes Ernesto’s guitar off the wall.

Unfortunately when he strums a few notes to test it out, an officer arrives on the scene and the boy runs off frantically in the opposite direction.

As souls are crossing over into the land of the living he finds himself headed for the underworld accompanied

by his friend, a street mutt named Dante. Together they enter the land of the dead.

Once there the young boy meets his long gone ancestors who will help him find his way back home only if he promises to give up music for the rest of his life.

As he tries to return without that curse he meets a streetwise skeleton named Hector (Gael Garcia) who is also determined to re-enter the land of the living to restore his legacy so that he will not be forgotten forever. The two join forces and in the process they meet movie idol

Alan Ayckbourn’s Riotous Comedy “How The Other Half Loves”

Benjamin Cole, Jacqueline Ritz & Noelle Marion. Photo by Aaron Rumley

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Member American Theatre Critics Association There ought to be a law stating all British farces and comedies must be staged by Britishtrained directors in order to get the full impact of their special, zany, erudite, and/ or silly brand of comedy. Old timers will remember the joys of listening to the BBC’s “The Goon Show” on radio or viewing “Fawlty Towers”, on TV with the incomparable John Cleese, or enjoying the wackiness of the “Carry On” series of movies at one’s favorite neighborhood cinema.

Well, the North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT) of Solana Beach will satisfy any aficionado of British ‘humour’ (Please note English spelling) with their current production of Sir Alan Ayckbourn’s classic comedy “How the Other Half Loves”; directed by award-winning dualcitizen Geoffrey Sherman.

NCRT artistic director David Ellenstein, has a knack for selecting plays and directors that appeal to his theatre-savvy audiences. With his choice of British born directors from which to choose, Ellenstein has selected one of the best professional directors in Geoffrey Sherman. Sherman directed one of three iterations

of the original production and revivals when he lived in ‘Jolly Ole England’. Alan Ayckbourn, is to the English stage, what Neil Simon is to Broadway. Both are prolific playwrights of the comedyfarce genre, and both are comic geniuses when it comes to making audiences laugh.

The play is a riotous peek into the peccadilloes and shenanigans of how the Brits handle marital infidelity.

Although the whole world, it appears, has at one time or another engaged in some form of ‘no-no’ behavior. It’s only the English, however, who appear do it with impeccably good manners.

The story in short, revolves around three couples: Frank and Fiona Foster (James Newcomb and Jacqelyn Ritz); Bob and Teresa Phillips (Christopher M. Williams and Sharon Rietkerk); William and Mary Featherstone (Benjamin Cole and Noelle Marion). All are accomplished comedyfarceurs, and it shows from the minute the play begins.

The plot addresses the consequences of an adulterous affair between Bob (Mr. Williams) and his boss’ wife Fiona (Ms. Ritz) and their attempts to cover their tracks by involving William (Mr. Cole) and his wife Mary (Ms. Marion) by asking the unwitting Featherstone’s to be their alibi, resulting in a chain of misunderstandings,

conflicts and revelations.

All components that are required for a successful farce production are present, and are delivered at warp-speed.

There is even the obligatory slamming of several doors during the performance for the purists in the audience.

Comedy/farce productions are usually an ensemble effort, making it difficult in separating individual actors and their special moments in the production from the tricky ensemble work in a setting that has two households, side by side, on a stage that is occupied by six characters.

This is where the seamless directorial touches of Geoffrey Sherman shine. There is no substitute for experience and creativity when it comes staging a theatrical production, especially a farce production.

It’s usually populated with lots of dialogue and movement, and this production is no exception. Director Sherman neatly solves the tricky on stage traffic management issues and the precise timing required by each cast member in order to visually pull it off.

“How the Other Half Loves”, is blessed in having six talented actors who know their stuff; perform on NCRT’s stage and have fun in doing it.

Mr. Newcomb, is an absolute delight as Frank Foster, the trusting, clueless, cuckolded husband of Fiona. Ms. Ritz as Fiona, is perfect as the bored

James Newcomb & Sharon Rietkerk. Photo by Aaron Rumley wife looking to widen her sexual horizons by having a fling with her husband’s employee Bob Phillips, solidly played by Mr. Williams. Teresa, Bob’s unhappy, shallow, wife and new mom, is looking for ways to get out of doing housework and taking care of their new son, is impressively played by a striking Sharon Rietkerk. Noelle Marion’s timid, shy, quiet asa-church-mouse Mary is the exact opposite of the party girl role she played in NCRT last season’s “Last of the Red Hot Lovers”. William, the bright up and coming young manager in Frank Foster’s company is nicely played by Benjamin Cole.

The technical credits at NCRT are always first rate,

The Set Design by resident designer Marty Burnett, is always a clever and visual feast for the eyes, thanks to Lighting Designer Matt Novotny who paints the stage with just enough mood lights, yet illuminates the costumes of Eliza Benzoni to be appreciated by the audience. Aaron Rumley’s Sound Design and Props designer Holly Gillard complete the creative team. Cindy Rumley Stage Manages the production.

“How the Other Half Loves”, is a fun and entertaining evening of theatre that performs at North Coast Repertory Theatre and runs through May 13, 2018.

is still obsessing over Will, and after noticing him reading a book about World War II, works up the courage to invite him to a documentary on the Franco-Prussian War and Will accepts. Sadly, the date is un-eventful and leaves Jordan feeling disappointed. He composes a sentimental email to Will professing his deep desire to be with him. Two of the girls yell, “Do not hit send!” while the third says “send,” a running gag where two out of the three agree on certain topics, with the third one casting the dissenting vote.

As time goes by, each of the girls marry filling Jordan’s life with endless rounds of engagement parties, wedding showers, and weddings.

One of the most poignant scenes is between Jordan and Laura on her wedding day. (Opening lines of this review) All the sadness and resentment he’s been holding is unleashed in a heartbreaking monologue as Laura stands there in her beautiful gown trying to understand why he’s not happy for her, “On the most important day of my life.” He points out that at the weddings of their friends, he always danced the first dance with her and now she would be dancing the first dance with her new husband and he would be relegated to the background. He is also angry that she did not make him one of the bridesmaids and instead wants him to read a poem. In the middle of his tearful, accusatory, angry monologue he inserts, “I wouldn’t miss your wedding for the world,” a moment of levity for Harmon’s extremely well written character of a man confronted with the reality of being young, single, gay, and possibly friendless.

Rounding out the talented

cast is Jordan’s grandmother Helene, well played by Concetta Tomei. Grandma is an amusing drama queen and casually discusses the various ways she could kill herself – from pills, to cutting her wrists – declaring none of those methods are particularly appealing. Her home is Jordan’s comfort zone and she entertains him by looking at old family photos and always asks him, “How is your social life,” with the emphasis on “social.” He tells her “All my friends are dying,” using marriage as tantamount to the death of their friendships.

Technically, Sibyl Wickersheimer’s versatile set creates a colorful frame for the action to unfold. Bobby Frederick Tilley’s fabulous costume design – especially those super spiked heels for the ladies, is enhanced by Eric Southern’s light design, which cast a soft hue over the unfolding action.

One could safely say we laughed and laughed until we cried as Jordan’s closing heart-wrenching monologue reveals how lost he is now that his three best friends are married, an experience that really isn’t “gender specific” and one that perhaps many of us have endured ourselves “Significant Other” Gil Cates Theater The Geffen Playhouse 10886 Le Conte Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90024 Run: Tues - Fri: 8:00pm Saturday: 3:00pm: & 8:00pm Sunday: 2:00pm: & 7:00pm Closing: Sunday, May 6, 2018 Tickets: $32-$90 310.208.5454 or www.geffenplayhouse.com Running Time: 2 hours, 20 minutes (One intermission) www.desertstarweekly.com

No wonder; a good deal of singer-songwriter/ lead guitarist Adam Granduciel and company’s set came from the band’s latest album “A Deeper Understanding” (which won Best Rock Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards held in January 2018). The songs here are bewitching, with Granduciel’s Tom Pettymeets-Ryan Adams lead vocals drenched in layers of his dazzling guitar work and the band’s hypnotic rhythms.

Every song is outstanding with the potent “Pain,” entrancing “Holding On” and psychedelic-tinged heartland rocker “Nothing To Find” among the masterful songs on the 10-track “A Deeper Understanding.” Information: TheWarOnDrugs.net.

Artist: David Byrne Title: American Utopia (Nonesuch) You might like if you enjoy: Talking Heads, Peter

Gabriel, David Byrne Tell me more: One of the thrilling developments surrounding this year’s Coachellafest lineup was the inclusion of genre-defying singer-songwriter/multiinstrumentalist David Byrne in a high-profile Saturday night spot. Byrne’s performance on April 14 proved to be the best set this writer caught that day. Byrne’s latest album “American Utopia” (released on March 9, 2018) continues to push and expand the diverse sonic universe explored by the 65-year-old artist since his groundbreaking approach with Talking Heads in the 1970s and ‘80s. The new album is filled with thought-provoking tracks including the ballad-meetsindustrial rocker “I Dance Like This,” the faith-minded “Every Day is a Miracle” offered up via a Caribbean soundscape and the sweeping feelgood standout “Everybody’s Coming To My House.” Other terrific songs featured on “American Utopia” include “Gasoline and Dirty Sheets” and “It’s Not Dark Up Here.”

Artist: Fleet Foxes

You might like if you enjoy: Fleet Foxes, the Moody Blues, Darlingside Tell me more: Fleet Foxes’ latest album “Crack-Up” is one of the more ambitious albums in memory, and the disc’s track listing really finds the Seattlespawned folk rock group pulling a myriad of progressive musical elements into their sound. From the sparse baroque-tinged acoustic stylings of “I Am All That I Need / Arroyo Seco / Thumbprint Scar” and subtle otherworldly vocals-enriched path painted during “Cassius” to the piano-anchored surge “On Another Ocean” and gorgeous immersive vocalsrich title track, Fleet Foxes’ third full-length album is an effort of artistic design and lush beauty. The ensemble’s performance at Coachella on April 14 was spellbinding to be sure. Information: fleetfoxes.co.

Artist: Alvvays Title: Antisocialites (Polyvinyl Records) You might like if you enjoy: Japanese Breakfast’s “Soft Sounds From Another Planet,” Nushu, Waxahatchee Tell me more: An album that blends dream pop, indie rock and shoegaze styles with perfection, “Antisocialites” is the must-hear sophomore

effort from Toronto, Canadabased Alvvays. With singer Molly Rankin’s lovely vocals and clever lyrics leading the way, Alvvays’ material is (no pun intended) always inviting and infectious. “Antisocialites” is bolstered by a mix of neo-New Wave driving indie rockers (“Plimsoll Punks” is sheer joy), wistful indie pop (“In Undertow,” “Dreams Tonite”), power pop (“Your Type”), evocative ballads (“Already Gone”) and art damage rock (“Hey,” “Saved By A Waif”).

Information: Alvvays.com.

Artist: Pvris Title: All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell (Rise Records) You might like if you enjoy: Florence + the Machine Tell me more: Pvris’ latest album “All We Know Of Heaven, All We Need Of Hell” is filled with emotionallycharged and powerfully-

delivered songs. With singer Lynn Gunn’s emotive soprano helping spearhead the fervent material, the songs on Pvris’ second album are anthemic in scope even while mining the deepest of emotions.

“Heaven,” “Visualette” and “No Mercy” are among the selections that drive hard without sacrificing nuances that give them more depth. Other material is more quiet, including the expansive “Anyone Else,” faraway “Separate” and yearning “Walk Alone.”

To be sure, get to Coachella early on Friday and catch the Lowell, Massachusettsspawned band’s earlyafternoon appearance.

Fox News Host Sean Hannity Revealed as Michael Cohen’s Mystery Client

KMIR News Staff Sean Hannity, the Fox News host who has been waging war on the air against special counsel Robert Mueller and is an outspoken advocate for President Donald Trump, was revealed Monday as one of only three clients that Michael Cohen, the president’s personal attorney, had during 2017 and 2018.

In a court filing earlier in the day, Cohen had sought to shield Hannity’s name from becoming public. Cohen said he had three clients: Trump; Elliott Broidy, the former deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee, who impregnated and then paid a woman with whom he had an affair; and a third party that Cohen said did not want to be identified.

During Monday’s proceedings, U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood ordered Cohen’s attorney to disclose the client’s identity. The client is Hannity, Cohen’s lawyer said.

It is not known why Cohen was representing Hannity.

Hannity addressed the news on his AM radio show, claiming that while he never retained Cohen in the “traditional” sense, they still had attorney-client privilege.

“Michael never represented me in any matter, I never retained him in the traditional sense as retaining a lawyer, I never received an invoice from Michael, I never paid legal fees to Michael,” Hannity said, before adding, “We definitely had attorney client privilege because I asked him for that but, you know, he never sent me a bill or an invoice or did I actually officially retain him.”

Hannity later said that he “might have handed him 10 bucks.”

The TV host has been a consistent backer of Trump, both on-air and off, and has repeatedly blasted Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the

2016 election. He has also frequently defended Cohen in the days since the FBI raided Cohen’s home and office.

“As I have been warning, Mueller is out to get the president and it appears at any cost,” Hannity said last Monday on his Fox News program, hours after news of the raid broke.

“Now keep in mind, Cohen was never part of the Trump administration, or the Trump campaign,” he said then.

“This is now officially an allhand-on-deck effort to malign, and if possible, impeach the president of the United States.”

On the next evening’s show, he slammed the FBI’s raid as “an unprecedented abuse of power.” The next day, he called it “highly questionable.”

Until now, Hannity had not disclosed that he had a relationship with Cohen during his radio show or television program.

Ethics experts immediately questioned why he, or Fox News, hadn’t previously revealed the tie.

“Why doesn’t @FoxNews have a conflict of interest policy requiring Hannity to disclose his personal interest in the Cohen search when commenting on it?” tweeted Walter Shaub, the former director of the independent Office of Government Ethics.

A spokesperson for Fox News did not immediately respond to questions from NBC News about the relationship between Hannity and Cohen.

Monday’s legal proceedings stemmed from a motion for a temporary restraining order under which Cohen had sought to stop federal investigators from reviewing materials seized in a search warrant last week.

New court filings Monday indicated thatTrump wants to review some materials seized from Cohen during

the FBI raid last week so he can determine which are protected by attorneyclient privilege, according to a filing in federal court.

One of Trump’s attorneys is asking a federal judge to give copies of all of Cohen’s seized materials to Cohen to let him identify any materials that involve Trump, and then to allow Trump and his attorneys to see those materials to determine which the president asserts his privilege over and which he believes are OK for investigators to see, according to the filing on Sunday.

A letter that Cohen’s lawyers sent to the court on Monday morning states that more than a dozen electronic devices and other items were seized.

The letter states also that the raid on Cohen was conducted in a climate of “growing public debate about whether criminal and congressional Investigations by the government are being undertaken impartially, free of any political bias or partisan motivation.”

Federal prosecutors were slated to form a “privilege team,” also known as a “taint team,” which will review which of the seized materials are considered to be privileged through attorney-client privilege

and which materials can be turned over to the potential trial prosecutors and federal agents. That team is known as the investigative team.

Trump’s attorney, Joanna Hendon, who was hired last week, says she wants to prohibit the taint team “from providing the Investigative Team with (a) any materials over which the President asserts a privilege without objection from the taint team, and (b) any materials that the Court rules are privileged over the taint team’s objection.”

Stormy Daniels, who claims she had an affair with Trump in 2006, attended the court proceedings.

In court filings, Cohen says that documents pertaining to himself and the Trump Organization have already been turned over to Mueller’s office.

The specific focus of the investigation and possible federal crimes have not been disclosed by the U.S. attorney’s office, but in a filing on Friday they do confirm Cohen is under federal criminal investigation.

Federal prosecutors said in a court filing Friday the investigation that led them to raid Cohen’s offices “largely centers on his personal business dealings” and has been going on for months.

Riverside County Releases Annual Homeless Data

By Vincenzo Marino The county of Riverside today released data on the number of homeless people living within the county limits and some of the numbers may surprise you.

According to the data, homelessness in Riverside County has decreased and nowhere is that more apparent than in the city of Palm Springs where the unsheltered homeless population went from 138 to 126.

“Thanks to support from the Desert Healthcare District and the new program with CVAG, as well as the city’s doubling our staff working on this we’ve housed more than 100 people, we’ve

helped dozens get jobs, and we’re getting people off the streets,” said Palm Springs City Councilman Geoff Kors.

But that is not the story county-wide. While the sheltered homeless population has decreased, the number of un-heltered homeless people has gone up in Riverside County, including in more affluent communities like Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert.

“I think the take away is that we know that we are sort of in line with other southern California counties, I think counties throughout the state, that are seeing upticks of their unsheltered homeless population. And when you

hear what’s happening in other counties, our county is not immune to that,” said Jill Kowalski, manager of the homeless programs unit for the county of Riverside Department Social Services.

County officials say the increase in the unsheltered homeless population may have something to do with a lack of affordable housing. They are also looking to see if early prisoner release brought on by proposition 47 and 57 are contributing to the increase.

“We’ve been getting reports that there is more visible homeless, so we’re looking at that,” said Kowalski.

But in Palm Springs, where homelessness has decreased, April 18, 2018

city officials say it’s due to their housing first approach.

“First you need to get someone a place to live where they can get a shower and have some dignity. Then you can help find them jobs and

Federal agents have already reviewed multiple email accounts maintained by Cohen as part of an ongoing grand jury investigation, according to the filing. That review has found that “Cohen is in fact performing little to no legal work, and that zero emails were exchanged with President Trump,” prosecutors said in the filing.

FBI agents seized documents and devices in raids last week on Cohen’s office and hotel room, seeking information about payments made to Daniels shortly before the 2016 election.

Daniels alleges she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. The White House and Cohen have denied that claim.

Cohen, 51, has denied wrongdoing. Trump has blasted the raid, calling it “an attack on our country” while reiterating his view that Mueller’s investigation is a “witch hunt” and a “disgrace.”

Trump last week broke his silence on the Daniels case, saying he was not aware of the payment made by Cohen to the porn actress just days before he was elected. The president also said he did not know where the $130,000 came from. Cohen has said it came out of his own pocket. Source: KMIR

benefits. That new program has been in place for six months and we’re already seeing really good results,” said Kors.

The homeless count has been conducted since 2005. The data will eventually become part of an annual report to congress.

Tax Day: What Are the Feds Doing with Your Money?

By Desert Star Staff LINCOLN, Neb. – Whether you owe the IRS or it owes you, Tax Day is an annual reminder of how much money Americans give the federal government each year.

A new report shows exactly where that money is being spent. The National Priorities Project crunched the numbers on 2017 federal spending and found 29 cents of every dollar went to the Medicaid and Medicare programs. That’s followed by 23 cents for the military, 11 cents of which pays for private contractors.

Program director Lindsay Koshgarian says it’s also important to note that individuals are paying five times more in taxes than corporations.

“Individuals are really the ones funding the federal government,” she says. “And then, when you look and see that so much of the money that we’re paying taxes for goes to private contractors, it’s a bit disturbing to see what extent our tax dollars

and our tax system are really holding up private corporations.”

The report shows 14 cents of every tax dollar goes to pay interest on the federal debt, seven cents to unemployment and labor, six cents on veterans, and four cents each for education, and food and agriculture. The remainder of the federal tax dollar is divvied up between government, housing, energy, international affairs and transportation.

Koshgarian adds an even larger portion of the federal tax dollar will go toward military spending in 2018.

“We have now the biggest military budget that we’ve had at any time - bigger than under Ronald Reagan, bigger than during the Vietnam War, even,” she notes. “So, there is a huge increase in military spending underway, and we see that in 2017 and we’re going to see it even more in 2018.”

Koshgarian contends the annual analysis is important because it allows Americans to

Individuals in the U.S. pay about five times more in taxes than corporations. (National Priorities Project) see if the ways federal dollars are spent are in line with their own priorities. And she believes many will be surprised.

“When we look at what Americans say their top priorities for the federal government are,

they certainly do say things like health care and national security,” she explains. “Education, and jobs and the economy are right up there, but they’re not ‘right up there’ when we look at how much we’re actually spending.”

The National Priorities Project has an interactive tool that allows people to see an individual breakdown of their own tax receipt for 2017. It’s online at nationalpriorities.org.

Located an hour from Los Angeles, Portside Ventura Harbor will embody the vibrant soul of its surrounding community and further drive interest and appreciation for everything the destination has to offer. With a 50-foot wide public promenade, coastal bike path, and a sand park, Portside Ventura Harbor hopes to drive steady foot traffic in and around the development. An updated marina along with a water taxi service will also initiate movement up and down the wider Ventura Harbor allowing for an increase in accessibility to its historic boutique shops and restaurants.

“We designed Portside Ventura Harbor and its offerings with the community in mind,

ensuring the development becomes an extension of the area’s serene environment,” continued Sondermann.

“With this community, we will bring understated luxury combined with the best-inclass amenities and offerings to the area. We look forward to welcoming residents and tourists to experience this brand-new destination.”

Imaginatively designed by developer Portside Partners Ventura Harbor and Los Angeles architect Togawa Smith Martin Residential, Portside Ventura Harbor will encompass 270-deluxe apartment residences ranging from studios to three-bedroom offerings with an additional 30 thoughtfully positioned live/work units including 17 workspaces with storefronts.

Along with a five-star-service, future residents will have access to top-of-the-line amenities and community offerings including a private clubhouse, lounge, business center, pool, spa, and tennis and bocce ball courts.

The project also features a recreational marina with more than 100 boat slips and a dedicated 90-foot public dock providing a secure environment for boaters along with easy access to local restaurants and boutiques. With an onsite Dockmaster tending to the boaters’ needs and a wealth of amenities at their footstep, the marina delivers a luxe Oceanside experience to the boater community.

Powerful and insightful drama of NY hasidic religious family life

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Member of American Theatre Critics Association The Old Globe’s Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein is a bit of a National Treasure when it comes to the Arts. What a boon for audiences of San Diego’s Old Globe theatre complex when Edelstein was handed the keys to one of the country’s oldest and most prestigious theatre venues.

In snaring the services of Edelstein, it’s become a case of New York City’s loss in 2012 is now San Diego’s gain and we’re not giving him back.

The Rhoades Scholar, writer, producer, and director’s track record is the envy of theatre professionals everywhere, and a beacon for new playwrights hungry to have their work seen on the stages of The Old Globe.

Edelstein is known as a theatre artistic director who welcomes new and emerging creative artists and provides a safe harbor and a caring environment allowing all to stretch and grow. Case in point: the current production “The Wanderers,” directed by him, is now performing in the round on the Sheryl and Harvey White stage. Edelstein not only fully embraced this world premiere drama, he collaborated with playwright Anna Zeigler in helping shape the powerful and little-known story of New York City’s Satmar Hasidic Judaism, a small, isolated, sect of highly orthodox Jews who adhere to strict Jewish religious dietary laws and traditions.

Brilliantly directed by Edelstein, who has a long list of New York credits as a producer and director at New York’s famous Public Theatre for ten years and at regional theatres across the county, also has a keen eye for talented actors who can run the gamut of every emotional moment once they step on stage. “The Wanderers,” is a powerful, insightful, and fascinating story vibrantly brought to life by five talented actors in a series of non-linear scenes that flash

backward as well flash forward which collectively produce an evening of riveting theatre.

The story takes place in the present, in Monsey, New York, and Brooklyn New York. According to Edelstein’s character notes the play follows the lives of two sets of characters: a couple in the Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism: Esther, a terrific Ali Rose Dachis and her husband Schmuli, introspectively and understatedly played by Dave Klasko.

And the other couple: Sophie (Michelle Beck) a writer with one book to her credit and working on her second novel, and Abe (an astonishing Daniel Eric Gold) already a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, with two Oscar nominations for Best Screenplay, in their young careers come to grips with their unraveling marriage. Sophie is a loyal, dedicated, wife and mother to their three children. Abe is a wordsmith and a dreamer/show business journalist who lives in a fantasy-like bubble and wonders if his life has the prospect of tasting forbidden fruit, perhaps, just waiting outside the nonos of his marriage contract.

Celebrity/actress Julia Cheever, alluringly played by sexy, Janie Brookshire, is Abe’s muse.

They connect over the internet in what begins as an interview assignment, but, now borders on an obsession of Julia by the glib, smooth-talking, and articulate Abe. Julia is a pivotal character in playwright Ziegler’s compelling drama in which Ziegler wisely leavens the narrative by infusing it with just the right amount of comedy and humor to hold the interest of the audience.

The beauty of this fascinating play lies in the actors’ talent to imbue their characters with such a ring of authenticity that even those unfamiliar with its core story subject matter can appreciate and enjoy its achingly poignant moments. Good writing and talented actors can elevate a good production into a great production.

The subject of ‘arranged marriage’ is still practiced in some places and cultures in the world. But in the West, and

Photo by Jim Cox. especially here, in America, one might have some difficulty finding small enclaves of religious separatists that still cling to the old ways of religious observance.

If one is waiting for spoiler alerts, you won’t get them from me. This remarkable cast deserves your full attention.

Enough cannot be said about the wonderful and inspired direction of Barry Edelstein who seamlessly sweeps his audience along on playwright Ziegler’s richly textured narrative tale of ‘arranged marriage.’

The technical team led

by Edelstein is equal to the

performer’s dedication and talent when it comes to creating magical and memorable on-stage moments. The Set Design by Marion Williams is a spare, space staging design that maximizes the White Stage performing inthe-round space which allows full viewing access for the audience. Costumes designed

by David Israel Reynoso are spot on, with Lighting Design by Amanda Zieve, and Sound Design by Jane Shaw, complete the creative team.

On a sidebar note: Kudos to Old Globe Dramaturg Danielle Mages Amato on her interviews

and background articles for the production. I recommend patrons arrive early enough in order to read her informative articles.

They will enhance your enjoyment of this impressive world premiere, which is performed without an intermission.

This splendid production of “The Wanderers,” performs at The Old Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Stage in Balboa Park, and runs through May 6, 2018. If you find yourself in San Diego sometime before May 6th, make sure you catch a performance. You won’t be disappointed.
