Christmas Tree Lane Fundraiser

Story and Photos by Pat Krause ACT for MS, Multiple Sclerosis, held its beloved 18th Christmas Tree Lane fundraiser. Trees lined the cocktail area where trees big and small were decorated and donated by local friends of Act for MS. Each tree or wreath
could be purchased for the amount posted by the tree. These trees were not bid on but had a price so you could be the only one to get that tree or wreath — a one of a kind tree. Guests could walk around and chose one while eating appetizers and enjoying
a refreshment. A lot of oohs and aahs could be heard as guests walked around the room looking at all the trees and who was the decorator. Riviera Palm Springs presented the event. The greeter was Bella da Ball who outdid himself with a
Christmas hat and outfit. The emcee was Joey English that kept the bidding on the big trees fun and lively. Johnny Morris entertained guests as they entered the ballroom area. The event co-chairs were Suz Hunt and Linda Williamson. Linda has been a
tree decorator for many years. Linda did four big trees for auction and several smaller ones for sale. Richard Desantis did his usual excellent job as a producer. Robert Aguilar once again showed his expertise Continues on Page 2

Biologists Warn of Border Wall’s Ecological Impacts
Biologists are concerned that a wall constructed along the U.S.-Mexico border could disrupt migration routes for wildlife, including bighorn sheep that populate Big Bend National Park. (National Park Service) By Desert Star Staff EL PASO, Texas - As Congress pushes back a funding deadline to avoid a government shutdown,
conservation groups are urging representatives to reject any spending bill that includes funding for a border wall. Sergio Avila, a wildlife
biologist with The Sierra Club, said he believes the $22 billion project would do little to deter immigration along the U.S.Mexico border, but could have
profound effects on ecological systems in south Texas and other border states. In nature, Avila said, there are no borders. “Blocking corridors and blocking wildlife can affect their adaptation to climate change,” he said, “and can also impact the long-term survival of some at-risk or endangered species in the United States.” Avila said a wall would prevent bison, jaguars, black bears and bighorn sheep from migrating to cooler regions as the planet warms, and connecting with other groups to maintain healthy gene pools. He added that plant species would be affected, too, notably the iconic saguaro cactus, which acts as home for many bird species. President Donald Trump repeatedly has argued that a border wall is necessary for national security. Avila countered that a wall won’t undo the political or economic
disruptions caused by decades of U.S. interventions in Central America, which he sees as a big reason families risk the journey north for safety and a better future for their children. In his view, he said, investing the wall’s projected $700,000 per mile in schools and jobs in border communities instead would be a better use of taxpayer funds. “We don’t oppose national security, but it’s a rhetoric that keeps the public focus on fear,” he said. “But what they don’t know is that this infrastructure is damaging a lot of the natural and human communities. It’s a waste of money; it’s not addressing the root causes.” The U.S. House of Representatives passed an initial budget proposal allocating $1.6 billion for the beginning stages of a border wall. The budget debate is expected to move into the Senate as early as next week.
Business Support for Clean Energy Grows in NY By Desert Star Staff SEATTLE – University of Washington laundry service workers who will be laid off next year are holding a town hall meeting on campus Thursday. UW Medicine Consolidated Laundry employees are frustrated with the school’s decision to close their facility in March, which will leave 100 without work. Nearly all are people of color and women. Mustafa Getahun has been a truck driver for Consolidated Laundry for more than two decades and is a refugee from Ethiopia who came to the United States in the 1980s. He says he’s sad to leave his colleagues. “I feel like I’ve become another refugee,” he states. “I just feel like the same way, like 33 years ago, because this is the family we have. They can read your face, when you are sad or you’re happy.” The meeting, which is
open to the public, will start at 6 p.m. at Savery Hall. Elected officials, the UW president and the group UW United Students Against Sweatshops will be in attendance. The school is closing Consolidated Laundry in order to contract with Hospital Central Services Association in Auburn, a change the school says will save $3 million. In an email, the school says the decision is purely financial. The new company is not unionized, but Consolidated Laundry workers are members of the Washington Federation of State Employees. The union was in talks with the university earlier this year to get pay increases for the laundry workers to keep up with King County’s rising cost of living, but never came to an agreement. Georgina Tabasan, a single mom who also has worked for Consolidated Laundry for more
Mustafa Getahun has been a truck driver for UW Medicine Consolidated Laundry for more than 20 years. (Washington Federation of State Employees) than 20 years, says workers weren’t asking for much, and are now in an even tighter spot. “It’s devastating for me and for all my co-workers, because most of us here are women and all of us have got kids to send to school,” she explains. “We don’t know where we’re going to go.
I’m sad to say maybe we’re going to be homeless.” Consolidated Laundry workers are frustrated at what they see as inequities in UW Medicine’s budget. Their union points out their average salary is about $36,000 a year and the UW laundry budget is $12.6 million.

These trees are exceptional and the last one sold was the tree honoring Gloria Greer for her vision in a founding ACT for MS and was responsible for keeping Christmas Tree Lane alive.
That’s less than UW Medicine’s 40 highest paid administrators, who make more than $330,000 a year on average. The university isn’t offering severance pay but says it might be able to help workers find jobs at other hospitals, although that isn’t a guarantee.

Dow plunges 700 points after Huawei exec’s arrest
By Desert Star Staff The Dow Jones fell more than 700 points on Thursday, as news broke of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou’s arrest and planned extradition to the US. The drop brings the Dow’s 2-day losses to 1,500 points. Meng was arrested in Vancouver, Canada, on Sunday, and now faces extradition to the United States. The charges against Meng - the daughter of the telecoms company’s founder - remain unknown but could relate to a possible violation of sanctions against Iran. The Huawei executive’s arrest comes at a critical time for US-China relations. Both countries have been locked into a trade war for much of

the year, and only agreed last weekend to restart discussions. President Trump has agreed to postpone planned tariff hikes on Chinese goods, while China has pledged to purchase a “very substantial” amount of American produce and curb the export of deadly opioid Fentanyl to the US in exchange. Representatives from both countries now have just short of 90 days to negotiate, unless the timeframe is extended, or a deal reached beforehand. While stocks rallied on Monday, lingering uncertainty surrounding the precise details of the trade war truce have seen the Dow slump since. Meng’s arrest could have a significant effect on markets and on US-China relations. Huawei is one of the world’s largest telecoms companies and is the world’s second-largest smartphone manufacturer behind Samsung. The company has been accused of using its devices to pass on information to the Chinese government, prompting the US Department of Defense to ban their sale on military bases. Earlier this year, six top US intelligence chiefs voiced their concerns about Huawei phones to the Senate
Intelligence Committee, with FBI Director Christopher Wray saying he was “deeply concerned about the risks of allowing any company or entity that is beholden to foreign governments that don’t share our values to gain positions of power inside our telecommunications networks.” Top British and New Zealand telecom providers have banned Huawei from their 5G networks, as did the Australian government. All cited national security concerns in barring the Chinese firm from their next-generation networks.
Huawei, for its part, has consistently denied accusations of spying, and responded to the arrest of Meng by saying it complies with “all applicable laws and regulations” where it operates. Beijing has called for Meng’s release, and the Chinese embassy in Canada said that her arrest “seriously harmed the human rights of the victim.” Meng, it said, was “not violating any American or Canadian law.” Thursday’s stock drop also comes as fears of a global economic slowdown circulate.
DoubleLine Capital CEO Jeffrey Gundlach told Reuters on Tuesday that the US economy is “poised to weaken.” Signals from the markets include the yield on three-year treasury bonds surpassing those on five-year bonds on Monday. This sign is usually interpreted by traders as an indicator of coming recession. In Europe, Bloomberg reported Thursday that the European Central Bank is set to lower GDP forecasts, in light of arguments between Italy and Brussels and a slump in oil prices.

A Fresh Approach to the Winter Freeze By Desert Star Staff Winter means snowfall, cold days and time spent near a fireplace seeking warmth and comfort. While planning for chilly days and frozen nights, it’s important to prepare for the seasonal weather so you and your family can stay comfortable and warm. Dodge cold drafts. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, drafts can waste 5-30 percent of energy use in your home. To help avoid energy loss,
consider switching out lighter, airier summer curtains for heavier winter drapes. You can also add additional rugs around the house for extra insulation and to help prevent drafts in wood floors. Freshen up sweaters and blankets. Sweaters and blankets are must-haves during the winter season for staying cozy indoors. To help keep them fresh, use a gentle and effective detergent that’s easy on skin that can become dry during the winter season. For example,
all free clear Odor Relief provides a powerful clean and attacks odors while being gentle for sensitive skin. Its hypoallergenic formula that’s 100 percent free of perfumes and dyes keeps sweaters and blankets clean and fresh. For added convenience, try an option like all free clear mighty pacs, which are also gentle on skin, free of irritating residues and can be easily tossed in the washer when you need to do a quick load of laundry before heading out the door into the wintry weather.
Invest in a humidifier. Humidifiers can help keep your home warmer in cold winter months and also help eliminate dry indoor air that can irritate your skin. You can also easily move the humidifier around your home so that no matter which room you are in, you can stay comfortable all winter long. Layer blankets and covers. While making beds,
enough to attend today. She felt humbled to get this awards. Palm Springs Mayor Moon was her presenter. He said the many charities she has chaired, the fundraisers, the galas and has been on many boards of directors. Patty and her husband, Arthur, have been significant philanthropists in the Desert. She has boundless energy, mentored young girls, and is busy with the Joslin Senior Center and the Arthur Newman Theater.
it’s important to keep the right layering process in mind. Layer the thinnest and densest covers on top of lighter, fluffier blankets, which can help reduce heat that can escape, keeping you and your loved ones warm and snug throughout the winter months. Also be sure to opt for cozy blankets made from materials such as cotton or wool. For more information on laundry detergent for sensitive winter skin, visit all-laundry. com. Content courtesy of all®

‘Come From Away’--A Story of Hope and Kindness “...As we heard numerous tales of ordinary people and extraordinary generosity, it became clear that during the week of 9/11, for the 7,000 stranded passengers and people of Newfoundland, the island was a safe harbor in a world thrown into chaos.” David Hein & Irene Sankoff, playwrights. “Come From Away” is a term used by the people of Newfoundland, Canada for those who come to visit their island. It is also the title of the heartwarming true story of the town of Gander where locals took in 7,000 stranded passengers whose aircraft were grounded following the tragedy of 9/11. The entire airspace over the United States was temporarily closed, and planes scheduled to land had to find another safe harbor. American Airlines Captain
Beverly Bass, played by Becky Gulsvig on stage, knew she had arrived in an extraordinary place when she and her passengers were finally allowed to disembark and enter the terminal in Gander, Newfoundland early on the morning of September 12. Tired, fearful and unsure of what to expect, the 7,000 stranded strangers were welcomed with lunches the people of the small island had prepared for them during the night--and this was just the beginning of their neverending kindness. The townsfolk not only found ways to give them food and shelter, but they also cared for the animals on the various flights, including two very special little monkeys. It is incredible how just twelve cast members were able to represent not only the Newfoundlanders but many of the passengers as countless

Holiday Shopper Will Spend $530 This Season
By Desert Star Staff Every year consumers flock to stores with one goal in mind: finding the perfect presents for their family, friends and colleagues. This year, holiday shoppers are eager to find the best deals, with 60 percent planning to compare prices online before purchasing. However, 66 percent don’t plan to finance any of their holiday spending, missing out on potential discounts and rewards. TD’s survey of 1,000 Americans found that the average consumer will spend $530 on holiday shopping this year, with the top gift categories being gift cards (28 percent), technology/gadgets (25 percent) and clothes (19 percent). • Show Me the (Rewards) Money Despite the potential to earn rewards when shopping with a credit card, most Americans plan to shop with a debit card (36 percent). Fewer will use credit card (34 percent), check (17 percent), store branded credit card (7 percent) and in-store financing options (4 percent). • Those who plan to finance all or some of their holiday shopping will do so with a bank-offered credit card (71 percent), a store credit card (57 percent) or a store-backed
payment plan (39 percent) • Ninety-six percent of Americans who financed holiday shopping in the past paid it off within a year, including 33 percent who paid it off immediately and 24 percent who paid it off within the first month after making a purchase • Respondents were most likely to pursue financing for their holiday shopping if doing so offered them significant savings (61 percent) “Today’s shoppers are savvier, with higher expectations than ever – they’re comparison shopping, engaging in retail loyalty programs, searching for discount and coupon codes, and taking advantage of financing programs that allow them to make budgetfriendly payments over time,” says Matt Boss, Head of Credit Cards and Unsecured Lending at TD Bank. “We also know that they’re leveraging credit cards to earn rewards for their purchases. For retailers who offer consumers the option to complete a significant portion of their shopping in one place, this is a smart strategy to appeal to penny-wise shoppers who like to earn some dollars back for their spending.” Have Yourself a Merry Little Shopping Experience In a world with an infinite
number of options, today’s holiday shoppers are brand loyal, and value variety and customization over anything else. That said, Millennials are more likely than Gen-X to stay loyal to the brands they favor year-round during holiday time (45 percent vs. 21 percent, respectively). The two most important features when
deciding where to shop were variety of products (46 percent), discounts offered (41 percent). • Holiday shoppers will take advantage of various retailers including online (80 percent), big box stores (72 percent) and local shops (53 percent) • The trends most likely to pique shoppers’ interests are customized coupons (37 percent), discounts via geotargeting (35 percent) and enhanced shopping atmospheres (22 percent) • Eighty-five percent of Americans are somewhat or completely loyal to the brands they shop all year around during the holidays • Thirty-nine percent of shoppers have purchased an item from social media advertising “Rewards programs help increase customer engagement – who doesn’t like receiving bonus incentives or perks for being a loyal customer?”
continues Boss. “Further to that, our data shows that holiday shoppers have financed responsibly in the past, which has led retailers to offer increasingly innovative financing options that provide consumers with an enticing combination of savings and rewards on their holiday purchases. It’s a win-win from the customer point of view. Rewards programs enhance a customer’s overall experience and increase their likelihood to shop at a retailer again and again, long after the holiday shopping season has ended.” Survey Methodology The study was conducted among a nationally representative group of consumers from October 29 November 1, 2018. The sample size of 1,000 has a margin of error of +/3 percent. Data has been weighted by age, gender and region to reflect the populations. The survey was hosted by global research company MARU / Matchbox.
Groups Seek to Avert Disease in Jackson Hole Elk Refuge By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif. – California’s first state Senate bill of the new session – SB 1 – is an effort to combat the Trump administration’s environmental rollbacks by requiring state rules to be at least as strict as those in place before January 2017, when President Barack Obama left office. The current administration has already repealed dozens of environmental rules, including protections for wetlands and smaller streams, and regulating the release of greenhouse gases from oil and gas wells on federal land. Kim Delfino, California program director for Defenders of Wildlife, says California can’t just stand by when Congress or federal agencies cave to special interests. “This bill was introduced to provide a backstop within state law, so that if further
weakening occurs that we can continue to rely on the fact that we will have clean air, clean water and protections for endangered species in California,” she states. Other federal rollbacks under discussion would weaken car emission standards that reduce air pollution, sonic testing rules meant to help marine mammals and habitat conservation measures. President Donald Trump maintains environmental controls are excessive, strangle commercial activity and cost jobs. The administration has also looked at weakening protections for fish such as salmon and smelt in order to bring more water to farmers. Delfino stresses the state can’t afford to lose important species. “And this would direct our state Fish and Wildlife

That requirement would kick in only if the federal government tries to remove species’ protections. A similar bill, which stalled during the last legislative
session, was opposed by oil companies, the California Chamber of Commerce, the California Farm Bureau and the Western State Petroleum Association.

Smithsonian to Help Research, Restore Iconic Montana Prairie
By Desert Star Staff BOZEMAN, Mont. – The Smithsonian is partnering with American Prairie Reserve to research and restore one of the country’s most treasured landscapes. The Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute does science and conservation work around the world, and is bringing that expertise to APR’s reserve in northeastern Montana. Before European settlement, more than 40 percent of North America was prairie and home to about 60 million bison. Only a fraction of that terrain and species remain. Bill McShea, a wildlife

ecologist with the Smithsonian who studies grasslands around the world, says he’s excited to look at this landscape in North America for the first time. “It has a unique suite of species and it’s something that is being restored, and we’re always interested in places that are being restored to some historical condition,” says McShea. Over the next three years, McShea says his organization will be getting its bearings. After that, the hope is to partner with APR and other organizations to restore some species that roamed the northern great plains, such as
bison and the black-footed ferret – the most endangered mammal in North America. The Smithsonian will start with two research projects. The first will look at how grazing cattle and bison affect biodiversity on the prairie. The second will look at the biodiversity of prairie dogs, a species integral to this ecosystem, and design a restoration program for black-footed ferrets. Kyran Kunkel, director of wildlife restoration and science at APR, says the researchers have a lot to learn about this place. “A great place for them to December 7, 2018
do science in North America on a system that has been little studied,” says Kunkel. “So, they’re very excited about some of the questions that they can address that have not been looked at before in any detail, especially in
the northern great plains.” APR manages 400,000 acres of purchased, leased and partnered lands, with the goal of reconnecting three million acres of public and private prairie lands to help native plant and animal species.
