“Medal of Honor Day” Modified, but No Less Important

By Desert Star Staff ARLINGTON, Texas -With a health crisis requiring all of us to display endurance, it seems fitting that since 1990, March 25 has been set aside to honor people

who’ve made extraordinary efforts to protect our nation.

Today is National Medal of Honor Day, acknowledging those who have received the nation’s most prestigious military decoration, awarded

for valor in combat. Retired Gen. Patrick Brady, a Texan who received the medal in 1969 from President Richard Nixon for a helicopter rescue of fellow soldiers in Vietnam, said a democratic society can’t survive unless it “grows” patriots.

“And some people think

that that’s kind of hokey,” he said, “but a patriot’s not someone who says they love their country; a patriot is somebody who will support and defend their country.”

The coronavirus pandemic has curtailed public celebrations of Medal of Honor Day. It instead

will include an inaugural “Moment of Honor,” at 3:25 p.m. EDT (2:25 p.m. CDT).

Brady said he supports establishing a National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington.

It’s an effort led by Joe Daniels, who served in a similar position Continues on Page 3

US jobless claims surge to record 10 Million amid coronavirus lockdown

By Desert Star Staff Over 6.6 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits for the week ending March 28. The number of claims has grown to 10 million over the last two weeks.

The released figures are much higher than forecasts cited by various media, as economists expected the number of claims to stand at around four million.

“In the week ending March 28, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 6,648,000, an increase of 3,341,000 from the previous week’s revised level,” the US Labor Department said in a statement on

Thursday. According to the agency, the latest figures mark “the highest level of seasonally adjusted initial claims in the history of the seasonally adjusted series.”

Unemployment Insurance Weekly ClaimsInitial claims were 6,648,000 for the week ending 3/28 (+3,341,000).

Insured unemployment was 3,029,000 for the week ending 3/21 (+1,245,000).

As COVID-19 Spreads, WV Law Helps Folks with Rare Diseases

By Desert Star Staff CHARLESTON, W.Va. -People with rare diseases are particularly vulnerable during the coronavirus pandemic, and West Virginia has just enacted a new bipartisan law designed to provide them with more support.

The Rare Disease Advisory Council gives patients a forum to communicate with policy makers about pressing health care issues.

The council also will educate patients about new treatments and health care developments, according to Fernando Andrzejevsi, executive director of the West Virginia Hemophilia Foundation.

“There are so many new therapies coming out,” says Andrzejevsi, whose son has hemophilia. “I think the last data I saw is that 560 drugs

are currently under clinical trial for different types of rare diseases, which is the highest it has ever been.”

The council will have 12 members appointed by Gov. Jim Justice, including doctors, family members with rare conditions and state health officials. Members will be appointed later this year.

West Virginia joins 11 other states that have similar legislation including New York, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

Andrzejevsi says these boards lay the groundwork across the nation to provide better care for people with serious illnesses such as hemophilia, cystic fibrosis and childhood cancers.

“Only 5% of rare diseases actually have a treatment,” he points out. “So establishing and creating partnerships

All childhood cancers are considered rare diseases. (Adobe stock) in the states, I think that will be very important to the councils to make sure families don’t have miseducation and miscommunication.”

About 30 million Americans have a rare disease, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Health officials estimate

about 180,000 West Virginians will be diagnosed with some form of uncommon medical condition during their lifetime.

Global coronavirus deaths top 50,000, led by Italy & Spain

By Desert Star Staff The total number of deaths attributed to the coronavirus pandemic has soared past 50,000 globally as cases inch toward the 1 million mark,

with Italy and Spain leading other nations in mortality.

The coronavirus pandemic has killed some 50,230 people worldwide as of Thursday, according to

Johns Hopkins University’s Coronavirus Resource Center.

Italy leads the world in virusrelated mortality, with 13,915 deaths, while Spain has also suffered disproportionately,

counting 10,003 deaths.

Meanwhile, the number of people diagnosed with coronavirus continues to climb, with Johns Hopkins reporting 981,221 confirmed cases as of Thursday. The US leads the world in the total number of cases, though its mortality rate is considerably lower than Italy or Spain, which have the next most massive numbers of cases at 115,242 and 110,238, respectively.

Europe and US’ coronavirus epidemics have long since dwarfed the number of cases in China, where the outbreak is believed to have originated and where early intervention coupled with sweeping quarantines and lockdowns managed to partially contain the infection within Hubei province.

Beijing has reported hardly

any new cases in weeks.

While Italy was quick to put first the north and then the entire country under lockdown, its people experienced a high fatality rate regardless although the country’s health authority discovered even as the casualty numbers continued to rise that the vast majority of the deaths were in patients who were otherwise ill.

Washington’s response, on the other hand, has been criticized for inexplicable delays, both in testing and in efforts to quarantine the sick.

While much of the country is now under lockdown, the Centers for Disease Control’s botched rollout of its coronavirus test proved immensely frustrating to state authorities, some of whom were forced to turn to private companies for testing.

Groups Slam Trump Administration’s Rollback of Auto Emission Standards

By Desert Star Staff LOS ANGELES -- Groups that promote public health and clean air and that advocate for consumers all are vowing to fight the Trump administration’s new rollback of vehicleemission standards. The new rule was finalized on Tuesday.

Dave Cooke, senior vehicles analyst with the Union of Concerned Scientists, slammed the administration for pushing the change during the COVID-19 crisis.

“This rollback defies science and common sense,” he said. “It hurts the economy and the climate, and it’s appalling that they’d still try to push it through in the middle of a crisis.”

Administration officials have said the plan will allow

automakers to produce cheaper cars, which should encourage Americans to trade in their older vehicles. However, opponents of the change have pointed out that lower fuel economy means people will pay more at the pump.

The nationwide standards require an improvement of 1.5% per year in fuel economy, less than the standard set by the Golden State.

David Friedman, vice president for advocacy at Consumer Reports, noted that California and 23 other states are suing to regain the right to set higher standards.

“Many groups are already moving forward to challenge this in the courts,” he said, “and because it is such a weak rule that is not based on

facts, not based on the data, not based on the science, we’re expecting that that should have a very positive outcome for consumers.”

Dominique Browning, director of Moms Clean Air Force, said the administration should respect California’s policies, which were designed to combat air pollution and climate change.

“Vice President (Mike) Pence, during this pandemic, has been talking about state rights,” she said, “and I find it hypocritical that he would do so about ventilators and disrespect state rights when it comes to cleaner cars.”

Lauren Faber O’Connor, chief sustainability officer for the City of Los Angeles, thinks the feds are favoring April 3, 2020

big oil over public health.

“A public health crisis demands united action to keep people safe, not shortsighted steps to undermine people’s lives,” she said. “This administration should not use the COVID-19 emergency

as a convenient excuse to pursue dangerous policies that place corporate polluters ahead of the health and welfare of everyday Americans.”

Rights Advocates Say State Budget Abandons Immigrants

By Desert Star Staff Immigrant rights advocates say New York must restore state funding for a successful program that provides lawyers for immigrants facing deportation.

Established in 2017, the Liberty Defense Project is a public-private program providing assistance in obtaining access to legal services and due process to low-income immigrants regardless of immigration status.

But Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s budget doesn’t include any funding for the program.

According to Steve Choi, executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition, that leaves those who provide

“Gov. Cuomo is sacrificing them to Trump’s ICE deportation machine and making all New Yorkers less safe at a time when we need all the help that we can get,” Choi states.

Choi says a recent poll by the Vera Institute of Justice shows 93% of New Yorkers favor governmentfunded lawyers for immigrants facing deportation.

Karen Murtagh is executive director of Prisoners’ Legal Services of New York, which represents immigrants held in detention facilities. She says having an attorney defending against deportation makes a huge difference.

Choi adds that immigration raids by ICE agents still are taking place in New York, including in

one of the early centers of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“ICE engaged in a raid in New Rochelle, of all places,” Choi says. “And they are taking from our supply of N95 masks and giving those masks to ICE agents to

engage in immigration raids.”

Nearly 3.3 million claims were filed in the week ending March 21, smashing the 1982 record, when the number of initial weekly filings reached 695,000.

The record unemployment claims – that hit almost 10 million for the two last weeks of March – come as the US battles the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic on its economy. Lockdowns across the country have shut down many businesses and resulted in massive layoffs.

The massive surge in jobless claims drove down US stock futures. However, key indices remained in positive territory half an hour

Mama’s House Hosts Sold-Out 7Th Annual HEARTbeat of Love Luncheon With 1,200 Guests in Attendance Phase I of Mama’s House Expansion Project Announced

By Madeline Zuckerman Mama’s House, the only residential home within the Coachella Valley providing shelter for women in crisis pregnancies, hosted their 7th Annual HEARTbeat of Love Luncheon to a sold-out crowd of 1,200 guests at the Indian Wells Renaissance Resort & Spa. This muchanticipated luncheon featured Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former White House Press Secretary. A VIP Reception was held the night before at Toscana Country Club for major sponsors, who were photographed with Sanders and who also got to enjoy a lively and entertaining Q & A. “My Co-chair Patricia McDonnell and I were overwhelmed with the tremendous outpouring of support from the community for this event, for Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and for the mission and programs at Mama’s House,” stated Jan Lupia, Founder and Executive Director of Mama’s House.

“The response to Sarah coming to the Valley was extraordinary, with tickets selling out within a matter of weeks! We shattered all records with the largest attendance and double the number of sponsors

with 50,” Lupia continued.

Guests participated in the Silent Auction before entering the ballroom for the plated luncheon. The program included a special tribute to the late Ronald M. Auen, an inspirational story from Autumn, a young woman who went through the Mama’s House program, a musical performance by Dr. Lisa Lindley, a Live Auction featuring such exclusive items as a Pelican Hill Resort package, tickets to see Lady Gaga Live in Las Vegas, a Nashville Country Music Awards Package, a Thermal Speedway Package, Dinner in Toscana’s Wine Cellar, and a Los Cabos Trip.

New Board Director Floyd Rhoades unveiled the Mama’s House Expansion Project; he is spearheading. He emphasized Phase I, which involves the acquisition of property with a move-in ready home for 8 residents, laying the infrastructure for up to 7 casitas. The casitas, each for 6 residents, will be added during Phases II and III over 2 to 3 years, which will serve more than 50 mothers and children between the current and new location upon completion.

Guests, as well as Sarah Huckabee Sanders, were taken by total surprise when former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee appeared on the video screens to personally introduce his daughter! All 1200 guests were on their feet applauding as Sarah Huckabee Sanders stepped to the podium.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders served as White House Press Secretary for President Donald J. Trump from 20172019. She is only the third woman and very first Mom to hold the job of White House Press Secretary. President Trump described Sarah as “irreplaceable, a warrior, and an extraordinary person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job.”

Sanders has been named one of TIME Magazine’s “40 Under 40” and has been recognized as one of the best political operatives of her generation.

“I have been enjoying a little more time at home these days with my kids,” Sanders commented. “I think being a Mom definitely prepared me for the job in The White House because you learn to say NO, and you tend to say things over and over again to your kids!

Working with the President gave me a front-row seat in history. I traveled with him to

April 3, 2020

over 30 countries and had an unbelievable experience when Trump took me to meet Kim Jung-un. I have been to many places all over this country, and I can tell you that you have something very special at Mama’s House. I had the extraordinary opportunity to meet some of the Moms at Mama’s House, and I even got to hold a one-week-old baby boy. What an incredible story Autumn, one of the Moms who went through the program at Mama’s House, spoke about today. If Autumn can overcome the obstacles in her life, imagine what she can be and accomplish in her life. I am incredibly proud of President Trump and all he has accomplished. He is the first President in the history of this country to participate in the “MARCH FOR LIFE.” Today, I am reminded of what happens when people stand up for something right. Everyone has a part to play. Let’s go out and fight for life. Let all of us be the somebody who do the right thing!” she continued.

Mama’s House Mission On July 27, 2013, Mama’s House opened its doors to receive mothers in crisis and their babies. Since that time with unwavering compassion, Mama’s House has been offering a once in a lifetime opportunity for these mothers to conquer fears, face challenges, and get back on track for success.

Since its inception, Mama’s House has served more than 230 women and babies!

Irish Inspirations: A Great Hotel by Dublin Airport

By Anthony Grant Confession: I have a thing for airport hotels -- cool ones, that is. And based on my brief experience in Ireland recently I can say that the Carlton Hotel Dublin Airport is one of the best.

The Carlton is located on the Old Airport Road in Cloghran, right along the perimeter, with the airport proper. My stay at the Carlton would be sweet but short. That’s because I arrived around 7:30 a.m. but had a connecting flight on Ryanair to Athens at 5:25 p.m., so the room would only be for daily use. At 8:00 a.m., the room wasn’t quite ready, so I repaired to Mayfly, one of the hotel’s two restaurants (the other is called Kitty Hawks) for a quick breakfast. The atmosphere was airy and bright.

By 9:00 a.m., the room was www.desertstarweekly.com

ready, and the check-in process could not have been more straightforward. There was a steady stream of checkouts, so I figured there must be a lot of morning departures out of Dublin (also airport hotels tend to have higher occupancy rates than “normal” hotels). A day-use reservation was probably a little against the grain here, but then so was the choice of connecting to Athens from Newark via Dublin instead of London.

Unlike many other kinds of hotels, an airport hotel can make or break a trip -- on the most basic level, that’s because of logistics. If you ask for a wake-up call at an airport hotel but don’t actually receive it and then oversleep, well you’ve just missed your flight and your holidays are now toast. The staff has to be on their toes,

and stuff has to work. Here I felt the staff were on the mark -- while I wasn’t thrilled with the initial delay in the room, they explained that my signature double bedroom on the first floor was one which had been recently renovated; hence it was probably worth the wait.

They were right. Once I opened the door, I felt that I was in quality surroundings.

There was a large window with a view of the car park, but I didn’t mind because it reminded me that I had only a few short hours to go before catching the shuttle back to the airport. On a countertop in my room, I noticed a box of Lily O’Brien’s chocolates. To me, Lily O’Brien says, “you’re in Ireland now,” even more than a pint of Guinness. The mattress was the most comfortable of April 3, 2020

any airport hotel bed I can remember -- and I’ve stayed in some of the best. The linens were crisp and fresh with a clean white fluffy duvet. Heck, I was so knocked out I didn’t even crawl underneath it. After four hours, I emerged from my speed-hibernation to quickly check out the room attributes, shower, and go. There was a nice TV full of channels with people speaking those lovely Irish accents that no American can resist. Plenty of desk space, with a desk chair as well as an armchair near the window. The bathroom was sparkling, the water pressure was excellent, and the bath amenities were fragrant and local. Thusly refreshed from all of this, I was ready to take on the nofrills experience of Ryanair.

The shuttle was waiting.

The Irish capital’s airport can make for an excellent hub airport when, for whatever reason, Heathrow or Gatwick won’t do. The Carlton Dublin Airport Hotel is p the best airport hotel in Ireland because it’s an upbeat, modern hotel adjacent to Dublin Airport and with a reliable, complimentary 24-hour shuttle -- so getting to and from the airport is never care. Because it’s Irish-owned, there is also some sense of connection to Ireland, and with that comes a particular pride of place, which is something any tired traveler will appreciate.

While Dublin will never have as big a range of airport hotel options as London, in truth, once you find the best, who needs the rest? Visit carltondublinairport.com.

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.

Volunteers Sewing Protective Masks for Arizona Health-Care Workers

By Desert Star Staff CHANDLER, Ariz. -- One Arizona woman’s call for help to sew masks for health care workers has gone viral and has grown into a group of almost 500 volunteers from across the state.

A post a little more than a week ago drew an overwhelming response and led to the formation of the Facebook group Mask Making for Arizona Healthcare Workers. Chandler resident Shannon Brannan said she got the idea to organize a group after she saw a similar undertaking out of Atlanta.

She said she’s happy the group can help but is concerned over the reason there is a need.

“It’s difficult because I feel like we shouldn’t be in this situation,” Brrannan said. “Our health care workers here on the front line should not be having to bring in ready-made masks.

They should be provided. Their families are being put at risk.”

Brannan said the internet “just blew up” after she posted her original note, and she and a few friends

have spent much of the past week getting the enterprise organized. She said the group’s volunteers produced more than 750 masks just over the past weekend.

She said they decided to put some rules in place so no one could “meet up” as part of the effort. Each volunteer must apply and agree to a set of guidelines.

“It’s a closed group where people need to answer the questions, because we are not promoting for people to be meeting with one another to get fabric,” she said. “The goal is to use what you have, because people need to keep their butts home.”

The masks her volunteers make at home, called readymade masks, are sewn from a recommended pattern published online by health care groups. Some health care officials, however, have warned that home-made masks may not be suitable to protect workers from pathogens.

Brannan said they are not designed to replace the masks doctors and nurses use to deal with coronavirus

patients, but some hospitals allow them to be used for other health care tasks.

“The N95 masks are the ones that people on the front lines are using,” she said.

“But we have nurses right now who are contacting us because they can’t use those

masks unless they’re working on a COVID-19 patient. A lot of the hospitals now have agreed to let them bring their own ready-made masks.”

All masks made by the group are first dropped off at a local cleaner and are pressed and sterilized before

they are distributed. Brannan said they are working with a number of health care groups and hospitals who have put out a call for extra masks. She said the group will continue to make masks as long as there is a need.

By Madeline Zuckerman Recognized as one of the top nonprofits in our community, Desert Arc hosted its third annual Champions of Change Recognition Awards Luncheon with a record crowd of over 270 guests.

This highly-regarded event, honoring local companies and individuals who support Desert Arc’s mission of enhancing the quality of life and creating opportunities for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities, took place at Agua Caliente Resort Casino

8

Spa in Rancho Mirage.

“Desert Arc’s annual fundraising events are vital on two primary fronts,” notes new Board Chair Damian Jenkins. “They accomplish the need to broaden awareness of our cause and long-time commitment to serving people with disabilities. And, tantamount in importance, is the fact that both the awards luncheon and golf tournament raise monies to support our non-funded offerings, critical program and service components

such as the on-site nursing staff,” Jenkins continued.

Mistress of Ceremonies, Brooke Beare, who is also the Immediate Past Chair of the Desert Arc Board, once again served as Emcee, along with Co-emcee Brittany Rieger, an American Sign Language Interpreter.

Vern Kozlen, one of the Presenting Sponsors, was recognized in memoriam with a moment of silence.

Vern Kozlen was a Member of the Desert Arc Board of Directors for many years, serving in the capacity of its Treasurer. Additional Event Sponsors included Harold Matzner, Eisenhower Health, Helene Galen & Jamie Kabler, Howard levy, Rob Anzalone, Steve & Darlene Beneto, City of Indio, City of Rancho Mirage, Fulton Distributing, Erica-Davis Popley, Richard Balocco, Mary Hendler, Nate

Otto, Nancy Singer, Iris & Tim Smotrich, and Damian Jenkins.

“It is again my honor to Chair this event,” stated Nancy Singer, Event Chair & Past Board Chair of Desert Arc. “Showcasing a few Desert Arc clients helps to shed light on the wonderful programs and activities this organization provides for the developmentally challenged in our community. We invite our neighbors and friends to come and visit Desert Arc to see the fabulous progress made by our clients at their worksites,” Singer continued.

Brooke Beare then introduced Reginald Davis II, moderator of the video “What Does Desert Arc Mean To You?” Reginald Davis II is a client in Desert Arc’s For Your Independence and Individual Placement Programs, and is now employed at Desert Arc!

Aubrey Serfling, President, and Chief Executive officer of Eisenhower health • BUSINESS SERVICES PARTNER OF THE YEAR – Desert Resort Management • BUSINESS STAR OF THE YEAR – Fulton Distributing • VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR – Renee Griffin CLIENTS OF THE YEAR – PEOPLE SERVED

BY DESERT ARC: • Enrique • Ivette • Katherine • Robert • Victoria “Eisenhower Health is appreciative of the relationship it has with Desert Arc,” stated G. Aubrey Serfling, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eisenhower Health. “The Green Team Recycling

Group and the Cafeteria Teams at Eisenhower bring joy to my heart. I can see that they are proud of the work they do, and it is very rewarding to see the Desert Arc clients as productive members of society. Their enthusiasm is inspirational.

This Award forces me to think through carefully just what comes to mind when I think of Desert Arc. Three words keep coming back to me.

They are Hope, Opportunity, and Fulfillment. I believe this organization gives men and women with disabilities a shining light of Hope.

Following that, light leads to Opportunity. I think Desert Arc does an excellent job of matching opportunities to the capacities of its clients in a way that results in a productive and successful experience. As far as Fulfillment, I think Desert Arc and the opportunities it has for its clients results in clients feeling important, valued, and fulfilled. I am so proud of them and am grateful for our relationship with Desert Arc,” he continued.

“For a third year hosting this Awards Luncheon, we again received a tremendous outpouring of support and attendance from the community,” stated Richard Balocco, President/CEO of Desert Arc. “Our organization has been making a difference in the lives of people with disabilities in our desert community for 60 years. The future of Desert Arc will require us to be creative and grow our business services to create more community awareness while creating opportunities for those with disabilities,” Balocco continued.
