“Hairspray”
Final Weekend approaches at Palm Canyon Theatre. Four performances remain after two sold out weekends By Desert Star Staff Palm Springs, Calif., – Hairspray, starring Jasmine Shaffer and Ron Coronado, is a smash hit at Palm Canyon Theatre! The entire company is getting rave reviews for the 1960s throwback, which only has four performances
remaining, December 13-16. The story centers around Tracy Turnblad (Jasmine Shaffer), an average teenager who sees herself as much more and dreams of being a star. Tracy jumps at an opportunity to audition for a popular television dance show,
and when she is selected, her mother, Edna Turnblad (Ron Coronado) is by her side, which leads to her own awakening. Not only do Tracy’s dancing skills attract the show’s host Corny Collins (Ben Reece), but also the attention of teen heartthrob
Link Larkin (Jonathan Hatsios). Although supported by her best friend, Penny Pingleton (Lizzie Schmelling), and other classmates, not everyone is happy with Tracy’s new role. The show’s manager, Velma von Tussle (Denise Carey), and her daughter Amber (Allegra
Angelo) will do anything to oust Tracy and her friends as they try to integrate the show to include African American cast members. Tracy puts up a good fight with her friends Seaweed Continues on Page 2

tools and resources,” said Ann Morales, Principal of Amelia Earhart Elementary School of International Studies. “We’re so excited that we are able to evolve our library into a 21st century student-centered learning environment.” The $25,000 Coachella Valley Spotlight grant will purchase engineering kits, large-format touch screens, flexible furniture, and storage compartments for the Makerspace supplies.

By Desert Star Staff As this year’s Miss Universe competition rolls around, Miss USA has found herself at the center of a storm of controversy, after appearing to make fun of two Asian beauty queens for not speaking English. In an Instagram livestream that has gone viral for the wrong reasons 24-year-old Sarah Rose Summers can be heard discussing some of the other contestants with Miss Colombia Valeria Morales and Miss Australia Francesca Hung. “What do you think of Miss Vietnam Nie?” Summers asks the women during the video. “She’s so cute and she pretends to know so much
English and then you ask her a question after having a whole conversation with her and she goes [nods and smiles],” she says before laughing. “She’s adorable.” At a later point in the stream Summers offers her thoughts on Miss Cambodia Rern Sinat. “Miss Cambodia is here and doesn’t speak any English and not a single other person speaks her language. Can you imagine?” she asked. “Francesca said that would be so isolating and I said yes and just confusing all the time.” “Poor Cambodia,” she concluded. “This is just a shameful display of meanness poorly

in the wrong manner,” a supporter wrote. Miss Universe has yet to publicly acknowledge the controversy. The preliminary rounds of the competition get underway on Thursday and the winner will be crowned on Sunday.

Amelia Earhart Elementary is creating a Makerspace Continued from Page 1 contributing to the Makerspace by updating paint and carpet in the area. That, combined with school site funds, will allow a full renovation of the facility. The shared school space will still include books, especially nonfiction. Throughout each week, students in grades K-5th will each have an opportunity to utilize the Makerspace with teacher instruction. Students will also have time to “make” on their
own before and after school. “The school is very resourceful to renovate a preexisting space that can now offer students an opportunity for hands-on research and the use of cutting-edge technology,” said Catharine Reed, Program Director for the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation. “I’m looking forward to going back and seeing the students in action in their new Makerspace.” Makerspaces prepare students for college, career and life by providing them creative ways to design, experiment, December 14, 2018
build and invent as they engage in science, engineering and tinkering. A Makerspace often combines elements of a science lab, woodshop, and art room, which allows students to cross platforms instinctively. “Teaching today’s elementary students is tricky, because we may not even know the jobs and fields that will be available to them when they reach career age,” said Jerry Upham, General Manager of Gulf California Broadcast Company, which owns and operates KESQ News Channel
3 and KPSP CBS Local 2. “Makerspaces are part of a transformation in education, and we’re excited we can participate in this collaborative project at Amelia Earhart Elementary.” The Coachella Valley Spotlight partnership also offers recipients media exposure by featuring the organization on KESQ News Channel 3’s “Eye on the Desert” (which airs on CBS Local 2 weeknights at 6:30), in public service announcements and on kesq.com.

Ellen Wolf, Barry Manilow, Lorna Luft. Photo by Pat Krause Story and Photos by Pat Krause The 9th Annual Men of the Desert Fashion Show and Charity Luncheon was held on Sunday, December 2nd at the Westin Mission Hills Resort and Spa. The event benefits Animal Samaritans who celebrated their 40th anniversary improving the lives of animals and people. Event co-chairs were Lori Serfling and Patrick Mundt. Events like this take a lot of people to make it happen successfully. Volunteers sometimes make all the difference. The lobby was full of local pet lovers, some with dogs, who perused the long list of silent auction items. Nearly 50 items were up for bid that
included a lot of items for pets — other items catered to people and pet owners. Susan Stein was the producer for the style show. Stein is the Fashion and Scene Editor of Palm Springs Life Magazine. She chose creations for each model for his style which went from casual to a more dressed up look. Stein said always to wear what makes you comfortable in your style. The models included Eric Bennet, Host of HGTV’S Desert Flippers, Richard DeSantis who is president and CEO of Event Management Productions and Dennis Flaig, Manager of Sak’s Fifth Avenue.

The list continues with Nate Otto, President of Hot Purple Energy, David Romness MD, who is Eisenhower Health Emergency Department Operations Director, Mike Thompson, CEO of the LGBT Community Center of the Desert and Brian Tilles,
Founder-Corvette Specialties. All these busy and professional men took time out of their busy days to walk the runway with a dog or dogs. The men each wore several outfits as they walked the runway with all sizes and breeds of dogs. Several of the men walked with more than one dog. One model walked with three dogs wearing red antlers, a real feat. The dogs did cooperate most of the time but occasionally got a laugh from the crowd when they misbehaved a bit. The fashions they wore were from Saks Fifth Avenue. There was a winner of the Desert Handsome Hound photo contest which was Jack Schultz. Eisenhower was the
presenting sponsor. Susan Stein was the Fashion Show Producer, and Richard DeSantis was the event producer and model. The event started with a champagne reception followed by a delicious lunch. A video was shown about the programs and adoption events at the NO KILL shelter for abused and lost animals. It was a time to honor the two key founders for their love and devotion in starting this shelter. Grete Cox and Barbara Flanagan took to the stage to accept the award. They thanked all those who support and work for Animal Samaritans. The star of the show was a three-legged dog named Cleo who helped raise funds for Animal Samaritans.
The Desert Classic 60th Media Day Golf Tournament Story and Photos by Pat Krause The Desert Classic Media Day was unique as it is the golf tournaments 60th anniversary. Media day is held to bring the latest news to members of the media. They hear this great news at a press conference early in the morning. They learned that they have a new presenting Sponsor, Workday, which was needed as Career Builders was sold and could no longer be a sponsor for the tournament. The tournament has had several sponsors since it was called the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. The new name this year is just The Desert Classic. To most Desert residents and me it will always be the Bob Hope Classic. Bob Hope will still be a part of the tournament with its own spaces and of course the Bob Hope golf cart. He made the tournament years ago when he would invite a lot of his A-list celebrity friends to play golf with him. The tournament is charity based with millions donated each year to local charities. The former champion, Jon Rahm has committed to playing again this year. His wins this

He will also be playing as he has won several times here in the past. Mickelson and other PGA golfers have a relationship with Workday. They are happy to be involved with the tournament as its the First PGA event in the West Coast Swing. Pat McCabe started by saying we lost a great president, Gerald Ford, who played here om the tournament in 1995 with President Clinton and President Ford. McCabe introduced Tournament Executive Director, Jeff Sanders, a LaQuinta native.

Give A Gift Of Entertainment Christmas is just around the corner. If you are still shopping for a stocking stuffer or a fun gift for a friend here are a few entertaining ideas to consider. The DVD for “Crazy Rich Asians” is delightful, and you don’t have to be Asian to appreciate this charming take on the Cinderella story based on Kevin Kwan’s 2013 best seller. Directed by Jon M.Chu, with a screenplay by Peter Chiarelli, this romantic comedy deals with the relationship between Rachel Chu (Constance Wu), a sweet Asian American economics professor and Nick Young (British Malaysian actor Henry Golding) the son of a super wealthy family in Singapore. Rachel has no idea how rich Nick is but gets a clue when they fly first class to Singapore to attend his best friend’s wedding. Nick also wants his family to meet Rachel, but things don’t go well at all when his mother Eleanor (Michelle Yeoh) thinks her son might want to marry her. It turns out that his beloved grandmother, who raised him (Chinese American actress Lisa Lu) also is not pleased. She wants him to marry a real Asian, not an Asian American. His whole family disapproves of their relationship, except
his charming, very beautiful and super-rich cousin Astrid (Gemma Chan). On the plus side, Rachel also receives comfort and much-needed information from her college friend Goh Peik Lin (Awkwafina) who has returned to live with her family in Singapore. You, the audience, will root for Rachel who truly loves Nick, but will their relationship be able to endure when pitted against so much family disdain and distrust? DVD special features include commentary by director Jon M. Chu and novelist Kevin Kwan, deleted scenes and a gag reel. Rating: PG-13 for some suggestive material and language. Running time will be 2 hours, 1 minute.

Farm Bill Secures Wilderness Act Victory for TN By Desert Star Staff MADISONVILLE, Tenn. – A diverse coalition of small business owners, veterans, clergy, conservationists and sports enthusiasts is celebrating the passage of the Tennessee Wilderness Act after Wednesday’s House approval as part of the 2018 Farm Bill. The act proposed by Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, and Rep. Phil Roe, all Tennessee Republicans, includes legislation that will safeguard nearly 20,000 acres of public land in the Cherokee National Forest. Jeff Wadley, a clergyman and camp director, calls it a gift to the next generation. “The Tennessee Wilderness Act has been a long time coming,” he states. “We are very appreciative of the support of
our local and state officials. Their support will assure that it’s a victory in the sense that this land is now set aside as wilderness.” For five Congresses, volunteers such as Wadley have worked with the Tennessee Wild Coalition to champion these protections. The act could boost jobs in tourism and outdoor recreation. An industry group says outdoor recreation generates more than $21 billion annually in consumer spending while supporting an estimated 188,000 jobs. “Wilderness is Tennessee’s natural capital,” says Laura Hodge, campaign coordinator According to the Tennessee Department of Tourism, outdoor recreation is the state’s secondfor the Tennessee Wild largest industry.

bombings and overflights will have on public access and wildlife habitat. Shaaron Netherton, executive director of Friends of Nevada Wilderness, says she appreciates the benefit to national security, but maintains the expansion should be scaled back. “Outdoor enthusiasts, people who graze, rock hound, drive for pleasure, hunting, there’s a host of things that are going on on our public lands that people will be shut out of,” she states. The meeting is at 5 p.m. in Reno at the West 2nd Events Center. Other meetings already have been held in Fallon, Hawthorne, Gabs, Austin, Eureka and Lovelock. The online public comment period on the environmental
impact statement continues through Jan. 15. The Navy says it wants to extend its range, not increase the number of exercises. However, Netherton worries about increased risk of wildfire. “We’ve seen devastating fires just caused by a spark from people target shooting,” she states. “How is the military going to contain fires that start on their bases from all of the live ammunitions and bombing that they’re doing?” Under the Navy’s preferred option, the base would expand to more than 1 million acres, including about 74,000 acres in three wilderness study areas: Clan Alpine, Job Peak, and the Stillwater Range. The Fallon National Wildlife Refuge would also shrink by 18 percent.

Ohio County Teachers Step into Foster Care Emergency
In some parts of West Virginia, the demand for foster parents is so high the system is being forced to turn to the classroom. (wokandapix/Pixabay) By Desert Star Staff CHARLESTON, W.Va. – In Ohio County, W.Va., the drug crisis is breaking up so many homes that the public schools are forced to ask teachers and staff to
foster displaced children. Raquel McLeod and her husband both work for the schools in Wheeling. Three years ago they agreed to emergency foster two brothers. She says Tresz and
Rynder’s biological father died of an overdose, and their mother has her own substance abuse problems. McLeod says she and her husband had met the boys a few days before and
that they are very sweet. But she says that day they had two hours to decide. “They just took your heart as soon as you saw them,” she recalls. “And that was around 1 o’clock. We had to 3 o’clock to decide. “I called my husband and my mom, who lives with us, and spoke to her. We all agreed that we needed to keep these boys together.” According to the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, the number of children taken into state custody has risen by about 50 percent since 2014. The department says almost 90 percent of that is due to substance abuse in the home. Another teacher and adoptive parent says the schools end up in this role because abuse or neglect often shows up first in the classroom or the nurse’s office. McLeod says teachers care deeply about their students. She says she knows of four
children fostered by folks at two local elementary schools. And sometimes the system is still straining at the limits. “Workers were having to stay in hotels with kids because there were no homes available,” she states. “At our Madison Elementary School, we had a child about to be removed and one of the teachers stepped up to do that. And there’s a second one at that school.” This fall, McLeod and her husband adopted the boys. She says they’re getting almost all As and starting to play in a soccer league. McLeod says you can see the change in them, such as the way the older brother shows signs of past abuse. “If you move too fast, he would flinch,” she explains. “They thanked us that their sheets smelled good. One had mentioned when he opened up the refrigerator within the first week that ‘you have so much food in here.’”
Group Wants Energy Efficiency Program Funding Restored
By Desert Star Staff PHOENIX – Consumer advocates are calling for the Arizona Corporation Commission to restore and increase funding for energy efficiency programs at two of the state’s major power utilities. The Arizona Public Interest Research Group Education Fund says the programs represent a major benefit for both residential and business ratepayers of Arizona Public Service (APS) and Tucson Electric Power (TEP). Aaron Kane, a field associate with the Arizona PIRG Education Fund, says the programs pay big dividends for both the utilities and their ratepayers. “We’re encouraging the Corporation Commission to listen to ratepayers and restore these programs,” he stresses. “Since 2010, these programs have created over 40,000 jobs across the state
and returned about $4 for every dollar invested in the form of benefits to ratepayers.” Kane says APS has slashed funding for its energy saving programs, and TEP has scaled back many of its programs, as well. Energy efficiency programs assist both residential and business customers in ways to save on their energy bills. They often include energy audits, rebates on items such as smart thermostats and assistance in choosing the best rate plan. Kane says programs that save energy can save other resources, as well. “It’s also just common sense,” he states. “We are a state of limited resources, and by cutting down on energy waste, it also cuts down on water waste because a lot of our energy sources require a large amount of water to function. So, it’s really good for a state like Arizona.”
Energy efficiency inspections can save ratepayers hundreds of dollars a year on their electric bills. (Kossens/ WikimediaCommons) Kane says civic organizations and other community groups have recently contacted the Corporation Commission with their concerns over high electric bills and are encouraging the panel to restore the energy efficiency programs.
“It’s a win-win for ratepayers,” he states. “It reduces peak demand. If we’re cutting down an energy waste, we don’t have to produce as much energy which also lowers costs by not having to invest as much in
building new power plants.” The Corporation Commission has scheduled a vote on TEP’s energy saving plan for Monday, but staff must issue a report before commissioners can vote on the APS proposal.
Groups Vow to Fight Rollback of Clean-Water Protections
By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Negative reaction from conservation groups was swift to a Trump administration proposal on Tuesday to remove federal clean-water protections from many smaller streams and wetlands. The Environmental Protection Agency announced a replacement for the Waters of the United States Rule that would lift federal protections

DesertSTAR
from water sources that are seasonal and wetlands that are not connected by a stream to a larger body of water. Jenifer Collins, a legislative representative for the law firm Earthjustice, said the proposal ignores the basic science of hydrology. “All water is connected,” she said. “So, whether it’s a small stream that only runs part of the year or a wetland that isn’t directly connected
to a larger body of water, they feed into the larger bodies of water that are the drinkingwater sources for millions of people across the country.” Acting EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler called the original, Obama-era rule “government overreach” and said the new rule gives power back to states, reducing red tape for farmers and other landowners. Collins said the original rule was meant to protect December 14, 2018
millions of acres of seasonal wildlife habitat, especially in arid Western states such as California and Nevada, and to keep the water supply free of pesticides and industrial runoff. “This proposal is a prime example of the administration putting polluter profits over people,” she said. “Really, it’s just benefiting polluting industry, like oil and gas, and other developers.” States do have the option
of requiring stricter standards within their borders. The public now has two months to comment on the proposed changes at Regulations.gov. If the rule is finalized, multiple conservation groups already have vowed to take the fight to the courts. The proposed rule changes are online at epa. gov, and the original rule is at federalregister.gov.
