Coachella Weekend 2

By Robert Kinsler Among the countless joys of attending the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival are the diverse field of musical artists and one-of-a-kind art installations that inhabit the Empire Polo Club in Indio.

Here are my highlights of attending Weekend 2 (April 21-23) of Coachella 2017.

Art - Sure the musical artists who appear at Coachella are the event’s calling card (more on that follows), but there is little doubt that in an age of Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and the “selfie,” the eclectic and visually-arresting art installations positioned around the festival are a tremendous part of the magic

of Coachellafest. Take “Lamp Beside the Golden Door,” the creation of Brazilian artist Gustavo Prado. The beautiful and enticing lighthouse was created using thousands of rounded mirrors. An even more dramatic work at Coachella was the colorful “Is this what brings things into focus” by United Kingdom-based artists

Joanne Tatham and Tom O’Sullivan, a work resembling a herd of species-defying animals (some as high as 75 feet), That work, as well as the Chiaozza Garden and Crown Ether also provided some welcome shady spots for sun-drenched concertgoers during the day.

Radiohead was the unfortunate victim of two early-

set power outages when they performed on Weekend 1, but the British quintet’s headlining concert on April 21, 2017 was pure perfection. For two glorious hours, Tom Yorke led the band through a powerfullydelivered set featuring classic cuts (including a beautifully-

Story and Photos by Pat Krause Michael Childers held his, One Night Only, Concert at the McCallum Theatre on April 20th that benefits Jewish Family Services of the Desert.

The theme this year was, Hello Jerry, which was a tribute to the fantastic song writer, Jerry Herman. This is the 12th production of One Night Only, and the 10th year bit has been held at the McCallum Theatre for the Performing Arts.

This year’s Director was the fantastic singer, dancer and actor, Jason Graae, who has

included award winners and major Broadway stars like, Faith Prince, Jason Graae, Hunter Ryan Herdlicka, Klea Blackhurst, Karen Ziemba, Lee Roy Reams, Sharon McKnight, Lucie Arnaz, Liz Callaway, David Burnham, Vicki Lewis, Amanda McBroom, Scott Coulter, Christine Andreas, Ruta Lee, Alix Korey, David Gaines, Gary Beach, Carole Cooke and many more. The Palm Springs Gay Men’s Chorus had a solo part and sang along in the background on others. The

Event co-chairs were Barbara Fromm and Terri Ketover with Honorary chairs, Helen Galen, Harold Matzner, Barbara Keller and Barbara Fremont. Executive Producer was Ken Katz with co-producer Nancy Downer; Musical Director was Christopher Marlow and a production staff of many to be able to put on a concert of this quality.

The party was held in an empty space next door to a new restaurant that will be opening in the next month or so. The brand new Acqua California Bistro had hoped to be open for this party, but construction delays have held up the opening.

This will be a fantastic new edition to The River Complex.

The party guests could congratulate Michael Childers for another exceptionally brilliant concert. The guests were also able to mingle with and thank all the singers and dancers in the concert for their wonderful performances.

The whole big area was filled with fans of One Night Only. Michael Childers spoke and thanked all for coming

to the show and for being such fans for over 10 years.

Barbara and Jerry Keller were once again hosts to the After Party. They provided the buffet supper and drinks.

The delicious foods served were several salads, Lasagna, Pasta, Salmon, Cauliflower dish and more. Deserts were already on the table that was two kinds of cakes and fruit.

People using their phones for selfies and pictures with the artists were seen everywhere in the dinner area. Again, Valet was provided free to guests. There is ample parking but many like the option of Valet parking.

This is always a fun party to attend. There was a Red Carpet to the entrance of the dinner area to make all the guests feel special. There were big JERRY HERMAN placards upon entering the

songs that were sung were songs from Jerry Herman’s plays, and a few were not so well known unless you saw the play or remembered them from a while back.

A few of the singers would explain how the song was created and for which play. The concert went so smoothly that there was little time in between solos. The timing was perfect. This is where you can hear these fabulous singers in one place without having to go to a broadway play to hear them

and then only one play at a time. This is always a sold out appearance as people realize the opportunity to hear these amazing artists perform.

The Palm Springs High School Band came out from the wings to the front of the stage for a song just before the finale. Some of the more famous song’s sung were Mame; I Won’t Send Roses, Time Heals Everything, The Best of Times and of course, Hello Dolly. Carol Channing’s name was mentioned several times as she was the star in many plays, and her signature song is, Hello Dolly.

Ruta Lee came on stage to explain the mission of Jewish Family services that is for everyone, regardless or religion, age, race or lifestyle. They provide an array of services to those in need with direct help to more than 3,000 people of all ages and incomes each year. Jewish Family Services, JFS, is a non-profit charity and relies on generous donations. They provide a much-needed service to all in need in the Coachella Valley.

HOA Homefront – What Can They See?

Regarding opening the association records to owners. How much detail are they allowed to see?

The manager is concerned that if someone insists on details (ie: specific individual names and duties) that this information must be provided. I thought that the owners should only be allowed to know how much is spent on maintenance

and not be given specific “association employee” names, salaries and duties, because that would be breaching confidential information. However, might the names of any hired outside contractors such as pool companies, gardening companies, laundry facility company, etc., be allowed?

K.H., Arcadia

Dear K.H.: Member rights to association records are found at Civil Code 5200-5240.

Members may inspect interim financial statements including balance sheets, income and expense statements, budget comparisons, and general ledgers. Members also may inspect executed nonprivileged contracts, written board approvals of invoices or proposals, association tax returns, reserve account withdrawals and balances, check registers, and canceled association checks. Some lawyers take the position that their fee agreements are “privileged” so that members cannot see them.

I disagree. Attorney billing

rates and practices are not confidential (but attorney invoices are privileged, since they describe what the lawyer is doing or advising upon).

Also available for inspection are invoices and receipts, statements for services rendered, approved purchase orders, association credit card statements, and reimbursement requests submitted to the association. These are considered “enhanced records” and the association may “redact,” or obliterate, personal identity information from the document.

Members also may inspect or copy the governing documents, and meeting agendas and minutes from board open meetings, or membership meetings, or committees consisting solely of directors.

Members may also inspect or receive copies of a membership list, which includes names, property addresses and mailing addresses of the owners, excluding any owners who under Civil Code 5220 have opted out.

Except for minutes, members may request records for the current year and the previous two years. The association has 30 calendar days to produce records from the previous 2 years, and 10 business days to produce current year records.

The process to inspect records is described in Civil Code 5205. The association can charge the requesting member the actual cost of making the copies as well as up to $10 per hour for redaction of enhanced records.

Civil Code 5215 lists association records which are specifically not required to be produced, including member disciplinary records, closed session minutes, and personnel records. “Personnel” means association employees, and persons being paid by the association as independent contractors are not employees.

Homeowners: Make your requests specific and reasonable. Use the powerful access rights of these statutes

wisely, and not as a bludgeon.

The right to copy or inspect does not include the right to explanations – do not expect to be able to interrogate or argue with the manager or treasurer about them.

Boards and managers: Recognize that owners have very broad rights of access to association financial records.

The response to antagonistic and accusatory owners is often to resist cooperation, but this often only inflames their suspicions. Be disclosure oriented. Consider placing as many of the accessible documents as possible on a “members-only” area of the HOA web site.

Thanks K.H. for your question, Kelly

By Janice Gough Before structuring a financial plan an advisor must determine what their client’s short term, medium term and long term money pockets are.

You must keep a portion of your portfolio to use in case of an emergency or short term goal. The amount in the short- term pocket should be proportionate to your wealth and spending. Many people leave too much in their short- term pocket and receive no working capital on that bucket of money.

Until recently there were no good investments which paid a reasonable rate of return on that bucket of money. Most investments, even a CD, requires a longer commitment to get a decent return, and a larger investment. A Five-year CD will only produce a 2.30% and require a much larger investment of $100,000.

The First Position mortgage product only requires a $25,000 minimum investment. Keep in mind that this bucket of money must be safe and have a shortterm horizon so you can get your money back in a brief time frame. This One year commitment product pays 5 percent annually and provides an immediate income stream.

The type of investment company who can offer this product is a company who provides large real

estate commercial loans and places you on title in the First position. This means that you have priority over any other liens or claims on the property, if the property owner defaults. This puts you in control. For any other risks involved, insurance protects the building. This mitigates the risk of loss to the property’s value due to damage, tornado, hurricane, mudslide, and the like. The loan is secured by hard asset collateral, and the Mortgage company holds a second lien position behind your First position.

As a commercial mortgage lending company, policy dictates that they lend for a maximum loan term of two years and up to 70 percent of the value of the real estate.

This means that the property that secures that mortgage is worth considerably more than the loans themselves at closing. With property loan to value ration averaging 60% or less, the property’s equity is your collateral.

The types of properties are generally multi-unit apartments, office buildings, retail centers or mixed use developments. Rigorous title searches ensure first lien position and thoroughly evaluates each property by conducting a comprehensive appraisal to confirm market value. The borrowers qualify for the mortgages because they are secured by the high value commercial assets.

This product is not a

security; thus, you most likely not be able to purchase it unless you are work with a Safe Money Advisor.

Few people make money on private real estate investments, especially if it is a rental. A Five percent guarantee every year without purchasing costs, repairs,

sales and legal costs makes 5% annual return a dream.

Automotive History Made from salvaged and recycled Porsche 911’s

By Desert Star Staff COPENHAGEN, Denmark, -- The iconic air-cooled Porsche 911 is the inspiration – and the raw material – for the latest creation from REC Watches. Made from salvaged and recycled Porsche 911’s, the 901 Collection watches is a must-have timepiece for anyone with a passion for classic cars and innovative, bold design. The 901 name is also a reference to the originally intended name for the legendary car, which Porsche changed in the 11th hour due to a naming rights claim from Peugeot. An associated Kickstarter campaign, which runs through April 30th, has already exceeded its funding goal by over 200%.

A number of design flourishes make reference to the classic car from which each watch is made. The timepiece itself is powered by an automatic mechanical

engine from world-renowned movement producer Miyota.

Christian Mygh and Jonathan Kamstrup, founders of REC Watches, have asked for the community’s support not only in funding their company’s projects, but also in sourcing new ideas. The choice of the Porsche 911 as the model for this newest collection was determined by a poll on the REC Watches website.

“The 911 is perhaps the very epitome of sportscars,” says Mygh. “From their very introduction until this day, this car has embodied a perfect harmony of elegance and performance. We want to recover, recycle and reclaim salvaged 911’s – in order to give them new life as part of a completely unique wristwatch.”

The 901 will be available in three distinct variations, yet each one harkens back to legendary designs that distinguishes the 911

from any other car.

Last year, REC Watches released its first collection of mechanical timepieces.

Based on the classic Ford Mustangs from the 1960’s, the collection was a huge success. That success has no doubt contributed to the buzz surrounding the current project.

As with any piece of fine art, the history of individual

classic cars is important. To that end, each 901 comes with a “Story Card,” featuring an NFC chip and QR code.

When scanned, the Story Card activates a link to a video telling the story of the specific car behind the watch.

With the Kickstarter campaign going so well, many of the limited rewards have already been exhausted;

First-time buyers were 32 percent of sales in March, which is unchanged from February and up from 30 percent a year ago. NAR’s 2016 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers – released in late 20164 – revealed that the annual share of first-time buyers was 35 percent.

NAR President William E. Brown, a Realtor® from Alamo, California, says patience is virtue for prospective first-time buyers this spring. “Realtors® in most markets are saying interest from first-timers is up this year, but competition is stiff for listings in their price range,” he said. “The best advice is to lean on the guidance of a Realtor® throughout the home search and be careful about stretching the budget too far.

Don’t get frustrated by losing out on a home and know the right one will eventually come along in due time.”

All-cash sales were 23 percent of transactions in March, down from 27 percent in February and 25 percent a year ago. Individual investors, who account for many cash sales, purchased 15 percent of homes in March, down from 17 percent in February but up from 14 percent a year ago. Sixty-three percent of investors paid in cash in March.

Distressed sales5 – foreclosures and short sales – were 6 percent of sales in March, down from 7 percent in February and 8 percent a year ago.

Hearing for Ex-Mayor Charged in Bribery Scandal Postponed

KMIR News Staff Riverside, CA - Former Palm Springs Mayor Steve Pougnet made his initial court appearance today in Riverside in a public corruption case allegedly involving hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Pougnet, 53, was slated to be arraigned on 21 felony counts, including corruption by a public official and perjury, but at the request of the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, Superior Court Judge Sam Diaz postponed the plea hearing to May 19 at the Riverside Hall of Justice.

Prosecutors made the same request last month when Pougnet’s co- defendant, 79-year-old John Elroy Wessman, was scheduled to be arraigned. The D.A.’s office is trying to consolidate the arraignments into one hearing.

The remaining defendant, 51-year-old Richard Hugh Meaney, is set to appear

at the courthouse next Friday, but his arraignment is also bound to be joined with the other two men.

Each defendant is free on $25,000 bail. Pougnet and Wessman have both surrendered their passports in compliance with a court order.

Charges against the trio were announced on Feb. 16, when District Attorney Mike Hestrin detailed some of the findings from an 18-month investigation conducted by D.A.’s office personnel and FBI agents.

Hestrin alleged that money trails were uncovered going back to September 2012. ``There was very strong evidence that Mr. Meaney and Mr. Wessman were buying the mayor’s (vote),’’ Hestrin said. ``They had a lot to gain from his actions on the (city) council.’’

According to the criminal complaint, money allegedly changed hands until the

fall of 2014, as Pougnet’s term came to a close. He did not seek re- election.

Hestrin alleged that the bribes paid to the mayor totaled $375,000. The investigation revealed that Meaney and Wessman had stakes in high- dollar development projects that required council approval, and the then-mayor became their point man for moving them to ratification, prosecutors allege.

Projects specifically listed in court documents include The Dakota, the Desert Fashion Plaza, The Morrison and Vivante.

Payments to Pougnet were allegedly drawn directly from accounts maintained by Meaney’s Union Abbey Co. and Wessman Development Inc., according to court papers.

Hestrin said the public integrity and influence peddling probe benefited from details provided by several

unnamed ``whistleblowers.” ``The message I hope goes out here is that everybody deserves fair, open and honest government,’’ the county’s top prosecutor said.

If convicted, Pougnet

could face up to 19 years in state prison, while Meaney and Wessman, who are each charged with multiple counts of bribery of a public official, could each face 12 years behind bars. Source KMIR

KMIR Kitty Alvarado Desert Hot Springs, CA -Elected at just 26-yearsold, Anayeli Zavala is the

youngest city council member ever to serve her native Desert Hot Springs.

“It’s a labor of love, it’s,

I feel passionate about my community and i just want to make it better for the next generation of students growing up in Desert Hot Springs,” says Zavala.

Not long ago she too was a high school student with a dream for higher education.

While her family could not afford to send her to college, she didn’t let that stop her, “My family was not in a financial situation to send me to college so I applied to as many scholarships as I could,” she says.

She says local scholarships helped her achieve her goals and inspired her to give back, “When I was able to see that local organizations were willing to invest in me and to believe in my capacity to do well and succeed it really

motivated me to come back to the Coachella Valley after graduating from college.”

The California Desert Association of Realtors, or CDAR, was one of the organizations that believed in her.

She says it meant the world to her, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart because their belief in me was a key factor in me being able to accomplish my dreams.”

But Stephanie Zinn, the co-chair of the association’s scholarship committee says her success makes the entire valley shine, “She’s just a beacon of light and just is the exact the epitome of what we’re looking for when we give these scholarships out.”

CDAR has been helping local students achieve their

dreams for 20 years. Their fundraisers provide two students from every high school in the Coachella Valley with scholarships.

“So that we can provide hope to students who might not get it otherwise and are looking to give back to the community,” says Zinn adding the scholarship does require students want to come back and use their talents in the valley.

Zavala says she’s proof success is possible for all Coachella Valley students, “Follow your dreams, work hard because as long as you put in your part, you’ll get there.”

CDAR is hosting a golf tournament and dinner on April 24, 2017 to benefit their scholarship fund at The Lakes Country Club. Source: KMIR

By Desert Star Staff RALEIGH, N.C. – One in three Latinas has experienced domestic violence, according to the National Latina Network, and now many of them face a new barrier to seeking help.

There are reports of increased reluctance among undocumented immigrants in North Carolina and the rest of the country to report crimes such as domestic violence, for fear of deportation of themselves or their abuser.

Courtney CooperLewter is a case manager for Lutheran Services Carolinas.

“There’s been this change in political climate, to where people are now saying, ‘If you don’t have documentation and you’re

trying to report a crime, there’s also a higher risk that you’re going to be deported as well, if you are undocumented,’” she explained.

Cooper-Lewter just completed the Program of Assistance, Resources and Education (PARE) training for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. PARE is organized by El Pueblo, Inc. While it is intended for members of the Latino community, Cooper-Lewter took the 12-week class so she can better communicate and help the population she serves.

She’s convinced that hearing directly from the women who experienced domestic violence in their native language will go a

long way in helping her effectively do her job.

“It’s kind of hard to just say, ‘This is what’s happening in your community, and this is how you deal with it,’ without hearing from community members,” she added. “So, I decided I would take this class to hear how I can talk to my clients, in the language that’s not my native tongue.”

In a recent national study, Latina survivors of abuse report their immigration status often is used as a control mechanism by their abuser to make sure they do not report a crime. Many also listed cultural and language barriers to services as another reason it is difficult to get help.

Proposal Bars Texas Schools from ‘Lunch Shaming’ Students

By Desert Star Staff AUSTIN, Texas – Texas is joining New Mexico, California and other states in trying to prevent “lunch shaming” of children who can’t pay for their food in a school

cafeteria. Often, when a student’s lunch account runs out of money, they’re pulled out of line and given a cold sandwich or another substitute instead of a hot meal.

Legislature would require schools to take a series of steps to avoid denying any student a regular meal.

Celia Cole, CEO of the food-bank network, Feeding Texas, says singling a student

out in front of classmates is embarrassing and unnecessary.

“Children should never be shamed or punished because of their family’s economic circumstances and certainly, they should never be deprived of the food that they need to stay nourished and healthy, and able to learn,” she said.

The measure, House Bill 2159, is sponsored by Dallas Rep. Helen Giddings.

It would require schools to work with parents to bring lunch accounts current and to provide the child regular meals until the issue is resolved.

Similar measures have been passed in several other states.

Cole says the bill also encourages school officials to seek donations or other resources in the community to help pay outstanding school lunch accounts.

“What Rep. Giddings’ bill is trying to do is set some standards before cutting a

By Desert Star Staff As President Donald Trump is approaching the 100-day benchmark in the White House, his approval rating has hit a historical low of 42 percent.

Twelve of his predecessors averaged 61-percent at this point, a new Washington PostABC News poll showed.

An average of 42 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s performance as president, while 53 percent disapprove. Past presidents’ ratings averaged 69 percent approval and 19 percent disapproval by their 100th day in office, the poll shows.

For example, Trump’s closest predecessor, Barack Obama had a 69-26 percent rate.

The next president with such low ratings was former President Bill Clinton who had 55 percent approval.

The highest approval rating for the first 100 days was achieved by John F. Kennedy, who had 71 percent.

Despite the deplorable results, 96 percent of those who supported Trump in November still stand by their vote today.

Going into the details, the poll says that six out of 10 people “doubt his [Trump’s] honesty and trustworthiness, see him as out of touch, and don’t think he understands the problems of people like them.”

More than half of Americans, 56 percent, say “he’s accomplished little or nothing in his first 100 days,” while almost the same number of people, 55 percent, say “he doesn’t follow a consistent set of principles in setting policy.”

However, no more than 48 percent see this as a problem.

However, there are some silver linings for Trump

as well. According to the survey results, as many as 73 percent of Americans say it’s good that the new president is pressuring companies to keep jobs in the United States. That number includes Democrats, liberals, and nonwhites – the three groups, most unsupportive of Trump.

Moreover, 53 percent called Trump a “strong leader,” though 77 percent of respondents considered Obama as such at this stage.

Generally, Trump’s foreign policy ratings look quite promising with 46 percent saying the situation with North Korea is being handled “about right,” compared to 37 percent saying his actions are “too aggressive,” or to 7 percent calling him too “cautious.”

Conversely, Obama was seen as too cautious when dealing with situations in

Syria and Ukraine in 2014.

The poll, which is based on data collected from 1,004 adults surveyed April 1720, 2017, was produced by Langer Research Associates.

The results are said to have a

margin of error of 3.5 points.

Trump’s 100th day in office, which is historically considered the point when a newly-elected president’s accomplishments can be measured for the first time, will be April 29th.

about Dow Chemical’s attempts to convince the Trump administration to drop studies that show its pesticides could harm endangered species.

In a series of leaked letters, Dow executives ask Environmental Protection Agency Chief Scott Pruitt to withdraw recently-released “biological evaluations” that show three insecticides, including Dow’s chlorpyrifos, are likely to harm 97 percent of threatened or endangered species.

Brett Hartl, government affairs director for the Center for Biological Diversity in Tucson, says killing those studies would scuttle a four-year process

undertaken to calculate risks and set limits on where the pesticide can be sprayed.

“Dow is now saying, ‘Oh, the science is flawed, we need to start completely over,’” he said. “Which is an absurd delaying tactic because they don’t like the result.”

Dow also reportedly has asked the Secretaries of the Interior and Commerce departments to go back to court, to challenge a 2014 settlement that requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service to release their own, draft biological opinions by May. Hartl notes that Dow

contributed $1 million to President Donald Trump’s inauguration and that Trump named Dow CEO Andrew Liveris to lead the American Manufacturing Council.

“Given Dow’s very close relationship with Trump, it’s not surprising that this is happening, but obviously very frustrating and very alarming,” he added.

Pruitt hasn’t publicly responded to the release of these letters. However, he rejected the recent findings of his agency’s staff scientists, who suggested that the government revise the acceptable level of chlorpyrifos residue on food down to zero.

child off, for attempting to contact parents in a way that doesn’t stigmatize the child, for figuring out whether there have been changes that might make the child qualify for free school lunch,” she explained.

She says the state doesn’t keep records of how many schools have large deficits in their lunchroom accounts, but she’s seen enough news reports to know the problem is widespread. Cole adds the state doesn’t fund school lunch programs.

“So, they’re really supposed to be self-sustaining with the funding that comes through the federal government,” Cole added. “They’re always needing to find ways to make sure they operate in the black. But certainly, if the state wanted to step in and help here, they could - and they don’t.”

The measure is awaiting a hearing in House Education Committee.

More Cell Phone Thieves Arrested at Coachella Week 2

KMIR News Staff Indio, CA - Five suspected thieves working in groups were arrested at the Coachella Art and Music Festival, police said today.

The suspects were arrested Friday after police received multiple reports of stolen cellphones inside

the festival grounds. ``Officers were able to isolate and locate two different groups of suspects that had multiple phones in their possession and place them under arrest without incident,’’ said Sgt. Dan Marshall of the Indio police.

Police allegedly recovered

more than 40 cellphones from the two groups, several forms of personal identification, credit cards and cash.

The first group of suspects included Angela Trivino, 35, of New York and Viviana Hernandez, 38, of Los Angeles.

The second group consisted of Brenda Cansino,

29, of Miami; Sharon Ruiz, 25, of Van Nuys; and Marco Leon, 27, of Los Angeles.

The suspects were booked into the Indio Jail on suspicion of grand theft, possession of stolen property and conspiracy.

The recovered items were turned into the festival’s lost and found, located at the main entrance, south of the Ferris wheel, Marshall said.

Anyone who loses items during the festival was advised to search for their lost possessions on https://www.coachella.com/ guidebook/lostandfound/.

Last weekend at the festival, police arrested 36-year-old Reinaldo De Jesus Henao, who allegedly had over 100 stolen cellphones in his possession, after attendees tracked him down with the ``Find My Phone’’ feature that allows iPhone owners to locate a lost cellphone. Source KMIR

9 Tips To Keep Your Child Safe Around Water This Summer

By Desert Star Staff Few things are as much fun as splashing around at the beach or in a backyard pool, but not every child is confident about taking the plunge.

“For some children, the idea of getting in the water and trying to swim can be a bit frightening,” says K.J. Hales, author of It’s Hard to Swim, the second and most recent addition to the Life’s Little Lessons by Ellie the Wienerdog educational picture book series (www.ellietheweinerdog.com).

“But with the proper positive reinforcement, they can overcome their fears and discover just how much fun swimming can be.”

May is National Water Safety Month, a good time for parents to consider teaching their children how to swim. The American Academy of Pediatrics supports swimming lessons for most children 4 years and older.

Water safety classes can also reduce the risk of drowning in younger children, the pediatrics group reports, but advises that because children develop at different rates, not all will be ready to swim at the same age.

Hales, who offers teachers’ guides and educational activities to go along with the lessons in her books, says she chose swimming as one of Ellie the Wienerdog’s adventures because it’s a valuable skill that all children should learn.

“Most children are around water in some form, whether it’s a pool, a river, a pond, a lake or the ocean,” she says. “So learning to swim isn’t just for fun. It’s also important for safety.”

The Pediatric Academy cites several water-safety tips for parents, including: • Never – even for a moment – leave small www.desertstarweekly.com

children alone or in the care of another young child while in bathtubs, pools, spas or wading pools, or near irrigation ditches or standing water.

• Empty water from buckets and other containers immediately after use.

• To prevent drowning in toilets, young children should not be left alone in the bathroom.

• Closely supervise children in and around water. With infants, toddlers and weak swimmers, an adult should be within an arm’s length.

With older children and better swimmers, an adult should be focused on the child and not distracted by other activities.

Bath seats cannot substitute for adult supervision.

• If children are in out-ofhome child care, ask about exposure to water and the ratio of adults to children.

• If you have a pool, install a four-sided fence that is at least 4-feet high to limit access to the pool. The fence should be hard to climb (not chainlink) and have a self-latching, self-closing gate. Families may consider pool alarms and rigid pool covers as additional layers of protection, but neither can

take the place of a fence.

• Parents, caregivers and pool owners should learn CPR. • Do not use air-filled swimming aids (such as inflatable arm bands) in place of life jackets. They can deflate and are not designed to keep swimmers safe.

• All children should wear a life jacket when riding in a boat. Small children and nonswimmers should also wear

one at water’s edge, such as on a river bank or pier.

“When Ellie finally swims, she realizes that learning something new is wonderful and if you give it a try, you can do anything you wish,” Hales says. “This is a lesson I hope all children will take to heart, not only when learning to swim, but also when facing any challenge that comes their way.” StatePoint

According to Gaines.

“Phantom was a great part, and it changed my life, but “Man of la Mancha” is perhaps my favorite role to play because it is a perfect show for our time, a show that never fails to inspire us to be always hopeful about the future. And both shows have powerful songs, “The Impossible Dream” in La Mancha and “Music of the Night” in Phantom.”

As a kid, Davis lived near Orlando, before Disney World came to Florida. He told me he was “painfully shy, so I don’t know why I wanted to be an actor. No family member had been in the business, but I was a kid with imagination so my parents let me join a children’s theatre group. They also took my sister and me to New York where we saw ‘Oliver’, which DavisGaines as Don Quixote in “Man of La Mancha” Photo was my first Broadway show.”

He then worked with Alexis Smith in “The Greatest Little Whorhouse” and Carol Channing in “Hello Dolly” where he played Cornelius Hackl.

During his career, he has starred in countless musicals and has sung for five presidents.

“Actually, I can almost say six,” he said laughing. “I sang for the Fords, the Reagans, both Bushes and the Clintons and I once sang a concert for Donald Trump when he was married to Marla Maples. It was at Mar-a-lago, in the same room where he recently met with the president of China.”

We also spoke about the pitfalls of live theatre.

“Things happen in every performance,” according to Gaines. “That’s what’s so exciting about live theatre.

People forget lines and we cover, from time to time wrong props are used and eventually the sets fall down, which happened to me once in an outdoor production when a big wind blew down the set, just as I was entering to deliver a package. In ‘Phantom’, the floor was slippy due to the dry ice, so we often tripped a bit, but the worst thing that happened to me was early on in ‘Phantom’ when I was

playing the young Vicomte Raoul, not the phantom. I had to leap from the bridge and fall 30 or 40 feet through an opening to the stage floor to a mattress below. I didn’t land right and broke my ankle.”

As noted earlier, Gaines played the phantom 2,000 times because every time Hal Prince called him back to Broadway to play the part he always did. Laughing he said, “You at no time say no to Hal Prince.”

He continued, “I never got tired of the role, and I made it my duty to make each show special for the audience.”

And now you have the chance to see him battle windmills as he goes after Don Quixote’s “Impossible Dream” in “Man of La Mancha.”

rendered “No Surprises” and gorgeous “Fake Plastic Trees,” the latter bringing this writer to tears), cutting-edge electronica (“Identikit,” “Bloom”), songs off the group’s latest album “A Moon Shaped Pool” (“Daydreaming,” “Desert Island Disk”) and audience favorites (the haunting “Pyramid Song,” a mind-blowing “Paranoid Android” with the band’s formidable powers fully on display). Time has not dimmed the power and originality of Radiohead’s approach to create songs that challenge and electrify on record or in concert.

Lady Gaga delivered the most high-profile set over the weekend and her 90-minute performance on the Coachella Stage showed why. She appealed to fans of all ages and even casual music lovers knew just about every song she performed. Several first-time Coachella-goers I spoke with prior to her set came primarily to see Lady Gaga, and one even admitted to being confused

by Radiohead’s challenging performance the night before.

But just because Lady Gaga is a superstar who seemingly appeals principally to the masses, it would be foolish to dismiss her. Beyond the flashy costumes, choreographed dance routines, pyrotechnics and video interludes, Lady Gaga played piano and guitar, and used her incredible voice in the service of original dance-pop songs that easily outdistance those of her chart-topping contemporaries. Her set at Coachella touched on her biggest hits (“Just Dance,” “Born This Way,” “Poker Face”) but also included more innovative material such as the bluesy dance rocker “A-YO” (where the artist traded electric guitar bursts with her band’s lead guitarist) and a reworked “The Edge of Glory” (where she sat at a piano and dedicated the song to a friend named Sonya battling cancer). The night ended on a party-minded high note with the electropop hit “Bad Romance,” fireworks shooting into the desert sky and the huge crowd turning the Empire Polo Club field into a big dance floor.

Two Door Cinema Club was among the many outstanding artists that floored me on Saturday. The Northern Irelandbased group unleashed a dozen exhilarating dance-minded indie rock songs that undoubtedly helped the huge crowd gathered in front of the Coachella Stage

Two songs from the group’s latest album “Gameshow” came off particularly well; the disco-flavored “Bad Decisions,” dashing “Are We Ready?

(Wreck)” and set-ending “What You Know” were a blast. Singerrhythm guitarist Alex Trimble was the perfect frontman, his soaring tenor voice and graceful stage presence in tune with the band’s animated approach; ever the secret weapon, lead guitarist Sam Halliday’s flawless technique and artful fret work dazzled everywhere.

The Head and the Heart played in the perfect afternoon slot on the Coachella Stage on Saturday, bringing a joyful Americana sound that was ideally suited to the expansive outdoor setting. The Seattlebased collective performed nearly an hour, delivering wonderful sounding songs such as the spirited folk rocker “City of Angels,” the inventive pop-rock gem “Ghosts” and utterly delightful “Lost in My Mind” that began as pure folk before the full band came in and transformed the song into a burgeoning sing-along.

Glass Animals took advantage of their 50-minute set to throw a party. From the time they tore into the aptlytitled “Life Itself,” the English band performed one catchy dance-geared hit after another to the delight of a big crowd that couldn’t get enough of it. Despite the face that lead singer-rhythm guitarist Dave Bayley broke an ankle two weeks earlier, he was running around the stage and led the Oxford, England quartet through energetic takes of the electronic “Season 2 Episode 3,” rockoriented Poplar St.” (with Bayley and Drew MacFarlane playing some tandem guitar lines), the alt hip hop “Gooey” and plenty of other fun tunes.

Dressed in a simple T-shirt with the word PEOPLE dramatically visible, this was an hour-long presentation that immersed the listeners with layers of Americana, ambient, folk, electronica and R&B sounds woven into a unique soundscape. The icing on the sonic cake came when Vernon welcomed Bruce Hornsby and Jenny Lewis to join Bon Iver on stage to perform a moving take on Don Henley’s 1989 hit “The End of the Innocence” (which Hornsby co-wrote). Following that, Vernon welcomed Francis and the Lights to the stage to perform that ensemble’s “Friends,” complete with the two artists recreating some cool dance moves from the song’s memorable 2016 video.

Klangstof was one of several young artists I caught for the first time in concert. An indie band with roots in both the Netherlands and Norway, the Koen van de Wardt-led quartet impressed me big time during an early afternoon show inside the Gobi Tent on Friday.

Recalling groundbreaking April 26, 2017

bands including Other Lives and Radiohead, the band’s experimental whims never failed to suppress the good songs.

Blossoms are a young band whose five members were all born in Stepping Hill Hospital and lived within walking distance of each other while growing up in Stockport, England. For the past few years, they have been earning high marks in their native U.K. and their performance on the Outdoor Theatre Stage during Weekend 2 was a revelation.

The band’s self-titled 2016 album is full of great songs, many of which were performed for an enthusiastic crowd that was swept up in the band’s artful indie rock approach.

“Blown Rose” (the intricate guitar work recalls Johnny Marr’s best), melodic rocker “Blow” with some fine guitar play from Josh Dewhurst and the glorious “Charlemagne” were among the fantastic tracks featured in a fast-moving 10-song set.

The XX was more than just another great British band to appear at Coachella 2017. The trio, opening for Radiohead on the Coachella Stage, revealed their dream pop is a unique

sound that has only been more refined since the trio won the prestigious Mercury Prize for their debut album in 2010. The trio’s sublime turn at Coachella included an opening with guitarist Romy Madley Croft and bassist Oliver Sim sharing exquisite vocals on the lush “Say Something Loving” and otherworldly “Angels.” Not necessarily a loud or bombastic act, it was great to see the Weekend 2 “get” the XX and take in the magic of their performance.

Tycho offered up a mostly-instrumental set of ambient compositions that were ready made for twilight.

The expansive sound created by synthesizers and guitars layered atop the rhythm section was enhanced by video projections of everything from crashing waters and people burning brush in the snow to dreamy images of surfers moving through golden waters. www.desertstarweekly.com

Story and Photos by Pat Krause Some of the One Night Only cast were present at a pre-concert party at the home of Helene Galen. The Cochairs and everyone who was part of putting on this exciting concert were available. All VIPs and invited guests were treated to an outdoor buffet of pizza, hot dogs, sweet and sour chicken over rice and more. Waiters served

drinks from the bar, and other waiters walked inside the home and outside in the patio area with tasty appetizers.

There was another table of food with sandwiches, sushi rolls and more. Helene Galen and Jamie Kabler host this special party each year prior to the Michael Childers, One Night Only-ONO, concert.

Guests filled this lovely home and mingled with the

cast of One Night Only. Liz Callahan, Lee Hartley, David Burnham and others gave impromptu performances.

Todd Schroeder, who played the piano for the singers, also did a few solo songs to the delight of all the guests. A few celebrities joined in the party.

Hal Linden, Peter Marshall and more attended. The Palm Springs High School band came onto the Golf Course

to play a few songs complete with baton twirlers. Guests could view the band from across the lovely pool in the patio area. The band has been a continuing event for the last few years at this Party.

Kabler and Galen greeted everyone as they entered this beautiful home. There was valet parking as the home is in a gated community and sits next to the 13th and 17th

green on the golf course. This party has become a ritual and constant part of One Night Only. The entertainment was just a preview of the concert to come the following night. Toward the end of the evening, a vendor walked through the crowd with frozen ice cream treats. It was a beautiful weather wise evening for a party.

By Pam Price The Bob Hope USO Palm Springs has been lifting the spirits of our troops and their families in the Coachella Valley since 2006. In 2016, the Bob Hope USO Palm Springs served over 35,000 activeduty troops, and their families transiting the center and the 29 Palms Marine Corps Base. The Center is located at 210 North El Cielo Road, just 100 yards’ northwest of the Palm Springs International Airport. A popular USO, it was voted #1 Small USO in the USA in 2015 and is home to the 2016 USO Stateside Volunteer of the Year, Ron Meier. The Palm Springs USO is one of four Bob Hope USOs In Southern California. The others are at John Wayne Airport, Orange County, Los Angeles International Airport and Ontario International Airport. The Bob Hope USO is a chartered, non-profit organization which relies solely on donations from organizations, foundations, businesses and individuals to meet their mission.

Officially, the USO welcomes active-duty military, retirees and dependents in a traveling status. Teresa Cherry, the Center’s Manager, a Navy veteran who spent 23 years on active duty took me on a guided tour of the two-level USO building that “creates a bond between the USO, the military, their families and the American people.” The USO, founded

in 1941 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, has become legendary in American history, with a big thank you to American entertainer Bob Hope. He entertained and supported American troops around the world for fifty years with the USO. This patriotic organization continues providing the emotional support the troops need right down to the stacks of neatly piled pillows and blankets seen at their Palm Springs facility. From the moment the door opens, this haven of hospitality spells ‘welcome’ from amenity kits for service members to a second-level television lounge with a bird’s eye view of the airport’s runway. This is enhanced by luggage storage, flat-screen TVs, snacks, beverages, holiday meals and most important, volunteers from the desert community “always ready to help.” This home away from home also has all the comforts of home from internet access, dining, quiet rooms for late arrivals and early departures and a canteen. Thoughtful surprises are honeycombed throughout the USO, right down to a pool table wi-fi, printers and video games.

The location couldn’t be more convenient because it is from this point military visitors can arrange their transportation to the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twenty-Nine Palms, which is approximately 54

miles from the Airport. For information on how you can volunteer or donate visit their website at www. bobhopeuso.org or call (760) 866-1100. Memorial Day,

May 29th is nearing providing the ideal time support our local USO, which continues to be a home away from home for our troops.

Groundhog Day The Musical

By Desert Star Staff NEW YORK, -Masterworks Broadway and Broadway Records proudly announce the release of Groundhog Day The Musical - Original Broadway Cast Recording. Produced by Chris Nightingale, Tim Minchin, and Michael Croiter, the album is available digitally beginning today, April 21 and on CD, May 12.

The Broadway premiere of Groundhog Day, the Olivier Award-winning new musical featuring music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and a book by Danny Rubin, and directed

by Matthew Warchus, is now playing at the August Wilson Theatre (245 West 52nd Street), after opening earlier this week to rave reviews.

Meet Phil Connors (Andy Karl), a disgruntled big-city weatherman mysteriously stuck in small-town America reliving the same day over and over and over again—with no consequences, no regrets, no tomorrows, and no hangovers.

But once he starts getting to know associate TV producer Rita Hanson (Barrett Doss), he discovers it’s a day of second, third and fourth chances.

Based on the iconic film, Groundhog Day is re-imagined by the award-winning creators of the international hit Matilda The Musical—including director Matthew Warchus and songwriter Tim Minchin—with a book by original screenwriter Danny Rubin. Starring Olivier Award winner and two-time Tony Award® nominee Andy Karl, Groundhog Day is the

new musical comedy about living life to the fullest, one day at a time. Tickets are on sale at www.ticketmaster. com, by telephone at (800) 745-3000, and at the August Wilson Theatre box office.

Groundhog Day features Andy Karl, who stars as Phil Connors in the Broadway production, following his celebrated performance in the show’s well-received London’s production at The Old Vic last summer, and newcomer Barrett Doss (You Can’t Take It With You, Burning at The New Group) as Rita Hanson.

The Groundhog Day ensemble cast features Rebecca Faulkenberry, John Sanders, Andrew Call, Raymond J. Lee, Heather Ayers, Kevin Bernard, Gerard Canonico, Rheaume Crenshaw, Michael Fatica, Katy Geraghty, Camden Gonzales, Jordan Grubb, Taylor Iman Jones, Tari Kelly, Josh Lamon, Joseph Medeiros, Sean Montgomery, William Parry, Jenna Rubaii, Vishal Vaidya, Travis Waldschmidt, and Natalie Wisdom.

The production’s creative team is director Matthew Warchus (director), Tim Minchin (composer and lyricist), Danny Rubin (bookwriter), Peter Darling (choreographer), Ellen Kane (co-choreographer), Rob Howell (set and costume designer), Christopher Nightingale (orchestrator and musical supervisor), Hugh Vanstone (lighting designer), Simon Baker (sound designer),

Paul Kieve (illusions), Finn Caldwell (additional movement), Andrzej Goulding (video designer), Campbell Young Associates (hair and wig design) and Jim Carnahan (casting). David Holcenberg is the music director.

Groundhog Day is produced by Whistle Pig, Columbia Live Stage, and The

Dodgers, with Michael Watt.

The 1993 Columbia Pictures film, with a screenplay

by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis, based on a story

by Rubin, and directed by Ramis, starred Bill Murray.

Now widely regarded as a contemporary classic, Groundhog Day was cited by the Writers Guild of America

By Desert Star Staff BURBANK, Calif., -- Marvel Music/Hollywood Records are releasing the digital versions of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2 songsonly album and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 original score album by composer Tyler Bates (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “John Wick Chapter 2,” “Watchmen”) today, April 21st. The film opens in U.S. theaters on May 5, 2017.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” is filled with great action, humor and performances, but it is also infused with a new mixed tape and soundtrack, a dynamic that resonated deeply with audiences in the first film as evidenced by the success of the soundtrack album. The Grammy®nominated “Guardians of the Galaxy” soundtrack reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, becoming the first soundtrack album consisting entirely of previously released songs to top the chart.

The album was certified Platinum by the R.I.A.A. Guardians of the Galaxy

Senate Bill Would Deny Public Access to Police Video

By Desert Star Staff HARRISBURG, Pa. – A bill that would limit public access to video captured on police body cams could soon come up for a vote in the state Senate. Under Senate Bill 560, anyone who wants to see police-recorded video would have to apply to the law-enforcement agency or district attorney for access.

A denial can be appealed to the court of common pleas, which the bill says must give deference to the agency that denied the request.

According to Elizabeth Randol, legislative director of the ACLU of Pennsylvania, SB 560 removes police body-camera footage from requirements of the state’s Right to Know law, creating a whole new procedure for gaining access.

“It puts the burden on the petitioner to justify why this is something that is in the public interest and should

be released,” she explained.

“Under the Right to Know law, the presumption is that the government agency has to justify why that record should be withheld.”

Proponents of the legislation say police body cameras are intended to gather evidence, which is not necessarily subject to public disclosure.

But Randol contends the Right to Know law takes law enforcement considerations into account and that the motivation for requiring police to wear body cameras in the first place was to strengthen police accountability.

“Moving it out of that realm definitely moves it from conversations around accountability much more squarely into the universe of law enforcement, which was certainly not the original intent of the use of body cameras,” she added.

The law also would

eliminate the current restriction on recording inside a residence, and the requirement to notify people that they are being recorded.

Randol points out that the law also contains no limit on how long footage can

be retained, which raises the possibility of creating a compilation of personal information recorded over a long period of time.

“So we are very concerned about that way that this might be implemented in ways

that could be used for data collection and surveillance.”

SB 560 passed the Senate Appropriations Committee last week. Randol believes it could come up for a final vote in the Senate during the week of May 8.

If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. = ADVERTENCIA-INFORMACION IMPORTANTE De acuerdo a la ley de California, las propiedadesadquiridaspor las partesdurantesumatrimonio o pareja de hechoen forma conjunta se consideranpropiedadcomunitariapra fines de la division de biees que ocurrecuando se produce unadisolucion o separacion legal del matrimonio o pareja de hecho.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 65600 AVENIDA LADERA, DESERT HOT SPRINGS , CA 92240 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $312,634.90 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee.

In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07000002-17-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

By Desert Star Staff The Trump administration has asked every member of the US Senate to meet at the White House on Wednesday for a briefing on North Korea, in a rare and unusual move, amid mounting tensions with Pyongyang.

All 100 senators have been asked to attend the Wednesday briefing, which will be conducted by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said on Monday.

Although administration officials often travel to Capitol Hill to address members of Congress on foreign policy matters, it is unusual for the entire Senate to go to the White House, and for all four of the aforementioned officials to be involved.The briefing was originally scheduled for a secure room at the Capitol, but was changed after President Donald Trump suggested

a shift to the White House, according to congressional aides cited by Reuters.

Aides have also suggested the briefing is being held at the White House to make clear to North Korea that Washington is serious about a shift in policy when it comes to Pyongyang.

Senators told Reuters they were happy to be hearing from the White House.

“It’s [the location] their choice,” said Senator Ben Cardin, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “I hope that we hear their policy as to what their objectives are, and how we can accomplish that hopefully without dropping bombs.”

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said he hopes the administration will provide reassuring words that Pyongyang will not be given a chance to further develop ballistic missiles.

“By 2020, if nothing changes inside of North Korea, they’ll have the technology, they’ll have a breakthrough, to develop an ICBM

Entire US Senate to descend on White House for N. Korea briefing

(intercontinental ballistic missile) that can reach America. I hope this president will say that’s a non-starter,” he said.

The briefing will take place at 3:00pm local time on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, congressional aides said they are also working with the White House to arrange a similar briefing for the House of Representatives.

Trump has taken a hardline stance against North Korea since taking office in January,

repeatedly vowing to “solve the problem” of Pyongyang.

He told the UN Security Council on Monday that the “status quo” is not acceptable, and that the council must be ready to impose new sanctions on North Korea.

Trump also had a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping over the weekend. The US president has been urging Beijing to put more pressure on Pyongyang, as it is North Korea’s main economic lifeline.

North Korean state media has responded to Washington’s moves by stating that Pyongyang is ready to sink an aircraft carrier headed towards the Korean peninsula, claiming its deployment was a “foolish military provocative act.”

Two Japanese Navy destroyers joined the US carrier strike group in an apparent show of force as North Korea prepared to mark the 85th anniversary of the founding of its military.

GOP Health Plan Could Put School Health Services at Risk

By Desert Star Staff COLUMBUS, Ohio – House Republicans this week may release a revised version of their health-care plan, which could jeopardize funding for school health services in Ohio.

According to a report from the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, Ohio schools receive more than $51 million in federal Medicaid funding to pay for speech therapy, mental-health services and wellness screenings for eligible students.

The plan from House Republicans, known as the American Health Care Act, proposes changes that would cap or cut federal Medicaid funding.

President of the Ohio Education Association, Becky Higgins explains schools would be forced to find alternative funding, or even cut services.

“Some of our most vulnerable students get these services, and to discontinue or to take away money that will help them learn and grow and be able to be successful in the school setting and in their futures,” she said. “It’s

The American Health Care Act would cut federal Medicaid spending by nearly $840 billion over a decade.

Supporters have argued it would give states control of health care and restore the free market. Reported revisions focus on allowing states to request waivers on health protections and would not change the underlying bill.

With Ohio’s continued opioid crisis, Higgins adds that mental-health services in schools have become especially crucial for those students whose parents struggle with addiction.

“They’re dealing with family members at home who are dealing with these issues and then they’re carrying that all that burden sometimes about what is happening

and the impact it is having on their lives, then to school each day, which absolutely will have an impact on their ability to learn,” she explained.

According to the report, nationally, more than two out of three school superintendents report using Medicaid funding to pay for school nurses, counselors and other health professionals.

Boo, hiss: Ivanka Trump heckled for defending president

First Daughter Ivanka Trump hit a road bump in her first international appearance an official member of the Trump administration as the audience at a women’s empowerment panel in Germany booed and hissed at her for defending her father’s record on women.

Trump was in Berlin to participate in a panel discussion on women’s empowerment and entrepreneurship at the W20, a a women-focused summit within the Group of 20 (G20) countries. It was her first trip abroad since she was named to her new role as assistant to her father, US President Donald Trump, at the end of March.

The audience booed and hissed at her when she defended her father’s attitudes towards women during a discussion on paid leave.”That is something I’m very proud of my father’s advocacy, long before he came into the presidency, he championed this in the primaries. He’s

been a tremendous champion of supporting families and enabling them to thrive,” Trump said before the heckling began.

Miriam Meckel, editor of the German magazine Wirtschaftswoche, asked the first daughter to address the audience’s vocal disapproval.

“You hear the reaction from the audience,” Meckel said. “I need to address one more point ‒ some attitudes toward women your father has displayed might leave one questioning whether he’s such an empowerer for women.”The president faced fierce backlash during the 2016 campaign when audio of him making derogatory remarks about women was leaked to the press. At least a dozen women have since accused him of sexual assault.

“I’ve certainly heard the criticism from the media and that’s been perpetuated, but I know from personal experience, and I think the

The two women had previously met in Washington, DC during a meeting on vocational training at the White House. Merkel’s seeming reaction to Trump’s presence at that event created a stir on social media.When asked about the crowd’s reaction after the event, Trump shrugged it off, telling reporters: “Politics is politics.”

“I’m used to it, it’s fine,” she said. “I think, you know, for me and I sort of said it at the end, I think what’s so important is we have to be able to engage in dialog with one another and we have thousands of women who have to be able to have different viewpoints and feel comfortable worked with and for my father for decades when he was in the candidly expressing ourselves without fear of being labeled private sector are a testament to his belief and solid conviction and ostracized.

Cabaret Star Jerome Elliott shines at The Purple Room

Jerome Elliott

Jerome Elliott

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Michael Holmes’ Purple Room cabaret/nightclub located at Club Trinidad in Palm Springs is the place to catch rising stars and to enjoy terrific local performers doing their ‘thing’. Holmes is a performer/producer is his own right. Every Sunday Michael Holmes experiences a theatrical metamorphosis becoming the legendary star persona of Judy Garland in his own production “The Judy Show”.

But last Friday, he presented local cabaret star Jerome Elliott to the audiences of the Purple Room for an evening of songs, memories and anecdotes about the vicissitudes of a life in show business, complete with all the highs and lows which everyone can relate to on that bumpy road of life that we all travel.

“Crawling Back to Broadway”, is a nicely written, well-crafted revue, of songs and patter, by Elliott, and a musical set list that includes inter-action with the audience, thanks to the cool and easy style of musical director Charlie Creasy. The synergy between Elliott and Creasy is the result of eight years of performing together. And, it shows when the musical

numbers seamlessly flow from one emotion to another as each number by Elliott hits the soft and poignant spots of the audience.

One of joys of seeing this live cabaret and a musical revue, is how quickly Elliott engages and establishes a rapport with his audience, many of whom have been following his career in the Coachella Valley for several years. As a side bar note: Elliott is also an actor who has appeared in drama and comedy productions throughout the Valley. I have reviewed him in the past in drama and in comedy roles, but I feel his cabaret and musical skills are still very solid and so it becomes difficult to pigeon-hole him in just one performing genre. He’s a multi-talented performer.

The music ‘set’ numbers arranged and selected

by Creasy and Elliott, slip easily and nicely into Elliott’s performing style. The show is comprised of original music and lyrics by some of the finest artists of pop music, including Broadway: “Birthday”, by Lennon and McCartney; the Helen Lawson song “You’re Gonna Hear From Me” by Dory and Andre Previn; ”Pour Me a Man” by Fred Barton;

to the bittersweet “I’d Rather Leave While I’m in Love” by Peter Allen and Carole Bayer Sager, that finds Elliott going into the audience to playfully interact with Hollywood TV actress Judith Chapman of “The “Young and the Restless”.
