Story and Photos by Pat Krause Modernism Week brings more than bus trips, home showings, lectures, and exciting home models and furniture to the Desert. One of the most exciting and fun evenings was the Hollywood Revisited event on Feb 19th. The show was held at the Annenberg Theatre in the Palm Springs

Art Museum. This show is in its third year at Modernism Week.

Everyone loves the movies and the glamour of its Hollywood Stars and the costumes they wore. Greg Schreiner has been collecting Hollywood costumes worn by famous stars since he was a young man. His collection is now over 500

gowns and costumes. He brought new outfits this year that reflect the theme for Modernism Week with fashion from the 30s to the 60s and a few from later years. He is an excellent pianist and comes on stage wearing Flashy costumes from the early years in movies.

By Desert Star Staff Desert Hot Springs, The sixth season of Desert Hot Springs Classical Concerts, presents its annual Afternoon Concert Crawl on Sunday, March 8, featuring concerts at three venues throughout the city between 2-4 pm.

The third annual “Afternoon Concert Crawl” on Sunday, March 8, will feature performers at Cabot’s Pueblo Museum, Miracle Springs Resort & Spa, and Word of Life Fellowship. At each venue, short performances will

begin at 2pm, 2:45pm, and 3:30pm, making it possible for audience members to attend all three concerts in whatever order they choose.

“Back by popular demand, our ‘Afternoon Concert Crawl’ is a unique concert experience,” commented Danny Holt, DHS Classical Concert Series Founder and Artistic Director. “Think of the Concert Crawl as a ‘ChooseYour-Own-Adventure’ concert experience. This gives our audience the flexibility to attend all or one of the

Refined Style Meets Classic Location at New York’s Kixby

By Anthony Grant Finding a truly unique hotel in a big city like New York is no easy task, especially in this age of cookie-cutter hotels and corporate blandness. The Kixby hotel, a refurbished BeauxArts building in Manhattan’s bustling Herald Square, is happily neither of those things.

Instead, travelers will find something unusual in its mix of sophistication and tradition, and this is truly the best kind of boutique hotel there is because in capturing the sense of place, it makes it even more memorable for every guest.

Kixby reclaims the stunning 1901 building that housed a legendary luxury hotel, the Collingwood, a century ago.

Herald Square is unadulterated New York—a neighborhood whose often-overlooked architectural splendor reflects its Gilded Age roots.

“Herald Square has always been at the heart of New York City, and, at this time of

resurgence, Kixby gives guests a prime place to experience it,” says co-owner and managing partner Justin Arest, whose family has operated a hotel on the site since 1995. The area, known to many as being home to the Macy’s flagship and once to the New York Herald, “has become the ideal mix of history, energy, and personality, drawing the best traits from neighboring NoMad and Times Square,” he adds. “Kixby will reintroduce many to the neighborhood that in the early 1900, was a stone’s throw from the flagships of Tiffany & Co., B. Altman & Co., and Gimbels.”

Kixby’s fresh take on Gotham’s history starts in the lobby. Working with Arest, the renowned Rockwell Group crafted an atmosphere that has a modernized membersonly club feel with a mix of classic elements such as rich hardwood floors and fluted dark wood paneling. Modern takes on traditional furniture in plush

fabrics like velvet and leather evoke the hotel’s past. Guests are greeted at a front reception desk crafted with warm woods and reflective slatted metal.

With 10-foot ceilings and generous proportions, Kixby’s 195 guest rooms designed by Arest are some of the most spacious in Midtown. There are a periwinkle blue and charcoal gray palette and—to the delight of Never Ikea people like myself everywhere—oak furniture custom crafted by Amish and Mennonite carpenters in the Buckeye State itself (Ohio). Side tables next to the hotel’s plush beds, outfitted in luxurious Matouk linens, feature two electrical outlets and two USB ports each, thoughtful details often overlooked in hotels. Even the numbers on each room were hand-selected by Arest; crafted in solid brass, they also capture the hotel’s fusion of classic and modern. Bright, elegant marbled bathrooms are sparkling, with Brizo

fixtures with rain showerheads and hand showers as well as lighted mirrors: a nice touch.

Kixby’s lobby-level cocktail lounge is called Lot 15 and offers guests and locals a destination to experience old New York mixed with elegant yet approachable cocktails and hearty nibbles, too. Executive Chef Stephen Parker curated a menu that evokes nostalgia through classic dishes with modern-day twists, such as bite-sized Hot Honey Crispy Chicken Skins and a Wagyu Steak Sandwich, as well as a Sweet Tooth section featuring an absolutely scrumptious Skillet Apple Cake: served with an ample scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, it’s so good that not being able to finish it seems like a minor crime against humanity. The cocktail menu by Mixologist Cameron Shaw showcases stirred, shaken, and built cocktails; I opted for an ethereal zero-proof built plum

spritz, which was refreshingly different and not too sweet.

Lot 15 rocks a cosmopolitan vibe with a dark palette that features gold accents, exposed brick, and charred black wood walls in a chevron pattern. Sink into the black leather banquettes and enjoy the colorful art installations by contemporary muralist Fumero. At a higher level, the Lookup Rooftop Bar encourages guests to “Look Up” at some truly monumental views of the Empire State Building: a nifty spot to savor a Sip in the City. Today, Kixby’s location puts the Empire State Building, shopping, Broadway theaters, the High Line, Grand Central Station, Hudson Yards (of which I’m not a fan; the place is more Texan than Manhattan), Bryant Park, and many other certified hot spots within an easy hop. Kixby is located at 45 West 35th St., New York City; visit kixby.com.

New Retirement Plans under the Secure Act: MEPs, ARPs & PEPs

Beginning in 2021, small-business clients will have even more options for providing retirement benefits to employees.

By Janice Gough The Secure Act removed the commonality of interest requirement that previously limited multiple employer plans (MEPs) to business owners who shared the same geographic location or industry—creating a new type of MEP. Under the Secure Act, employers will be able to offer MEPs, association retirement plans (ARPs), and pooled employer plans (PEPs).

ARPs and PEPs are simply expansions on the MEP. Small business owners

who may consider these options should understand all three structures before jumping into the MEP pool.

Multiple Employer Plans (MEPs): The Basics The basic premise behind the idea of MEPs has remained the same—multiple small businesses join together to reduce the administrative burden and potential fiduciary responsibilities of offering a 401(k)-type retirement plan.

However, Congress enacted the Secure Act to even further ease the restrictions on the types of employers who can join together, assuming additional criteria are satisfied and eliminate some of the risks associated with MEPs. Association Retirement Plans (ARPs): In 2019, the DOL released regulations designed to expand access to MEPs. Some in the industry began referring to these new MEPs as (ARPs)… association retirement plans. ARPs must satisfy additional criteria to be treated as qualified plans.

The terms for ARPS and MEPs have mostly been used interchangeably. Under the ARP structure, employers that share only the same geographic location or industry are permitted to join together in the MEP. The participating

employers can be located in the same city, county, state, or even multi-state region.

Companies operating in the same industry can join together also if they work in entirely different regions. The ARP can be sponsored by a permitted group of employers but must be bona fide with documents stating (the organization of employers must be bona fide, with organizational documents acknowledging control over the ARP. ARPs can join a plan sponsored by a professional employer organization (PEO).

When a PEO is used, that PEO must accept administrative responsibility for substantial employment-related duties, such as for paying wages to employees, including all withholding and reporting responsibilities. The PEO must also have a role in recruiting, hiring, and firing employees of the participating employers, and must play a substantial role in administering the employers’ benefits offerings.

Pooled Employer Plans (PEPs) Post-Secure Act Beginning in 2021, the Secure Act permits MEP participation for employers who share no common interest apart from the desire to offer a retirement plan. The Secure Act also

eliminated the concern (“one bad apple” rule) by providing that the entire plan would not be disqualified based on a single participant’s actions.

These types of MEPs are also called pooled employer plans (PEPs), another name for a type of MEP, that must meet the same rules and will be treated as a single retirement plan. This group will only be required to file a single Form 5500 (an annual report filed with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) that contains information about the retirement plan’s financial conditions, investments, and operations). In general, all retirement plans, such as profit-sharing and 401(k) plans, must file a Form 5500 for every year the plan holds assets). The need to only file one form reduces the administrative burdens for each of the individual employerparticipants. This type of “open MEP” must be administered by a pooled plan provider (generally, a financial services firm). Use of the pooled plan provider to act as both plan administrator and a fiduciary and is intended to ease both the administrative burden and fear of fiduciary liability for small business owners. The pooled plan provider must register as a fiduciary with the

Treasury Department and the DOL and must have a trustee responsible for monitoring contributions and dealing with subsequent issues that arise.

Small businesses with MEPs still bear fiduciary responsibility with respect to selecting and monitoring the pooled plan providers. Pooled plan providers can outsource investment decisions to another fiduciary (likely what is known as a “3(38) fiduciary”).

This arrangement does spread the costs of investment advice among the MEP participants to reduce expenses, but the extent of the employer’s fiduciary exposure still remains unclear under the law.

At the most basic level, ARPs and PEPs are a product of the MEP’s evolution, representing the loosening of MEP restrictions that have been granted in exchange for satisfying certain additional requirements under the new laws.

Fiduciary Duty – What It Is, And Is NOT

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL The term “fiduciary duty” is often used, but with a misunderstanding of what it means. HOA Directors are considered “fiduciaries” because they care for the community’s property and finances and are therefore in a position of trust.

The basic fiduciary duties are care, loyalty and good faith. A fiduciary is expected to exercise due care, to put the other’s interests ahead of their own, and to work in good faith for the other’s best interests.

Much confusion exists regarding where the HOA director’s fiduciary duties are owed. Homeowners often contend directors personally owe them fiduciary duties, but those duties are owed to the association and not its individual members. The director controls association assets and funds, and therefore is a fiduciary to the association. The HOA director does not control an individual homeowner’s funds. HOA directors cannot be a fiduciary to each individual member because directors periodically must pursue homeowners for assessment delinquencies or

rules violations. If the director were a fiduciary to the individual member, that pursuit of delinquency or violation would breach the duty of loyalty toward that member, but the loyalty is to the corporation.

After being outvoted by the board majority, a director strongly believing the decision is in error can be tempted to believe their “fiduciary” duty requires them to continue arguing the issue after the decision, even taking the issue to the membership at large.

However, the director’s loyalty is to the corporation, and the corporation has decided.

Even though the director believes the decision is a poor one, the director’s loyalty to the corporation compels the director to support and not frustrate the board’s decision.

The duty of loyalty to the corporation means the director will avoid conflicts of interest.

The director never should individually receive benefit which other homeowners do not. When there is a conflict of interest, the director should disclose that conflict and then not participate in any discussion of the topic.

Loyalty requires the director protect confidential information (normally executive session February 26, 2020

items), even after leaving the board. That loyalty also means a director must account to the corporation for any funds handled by the director.

The duty of care is often called “due diligence.” This means that directors will make decisions based on the appropriate competent information. Most of the time, the association’s manager is that resource. However, some decisions require extra expertise such as from contractors, engineers, arborists or lawyers.

The duty of care requires directors to have sufficient information from qualified persons to make the decision.

Sometimes the cost of this expertise is not anticipated and not budgeted, and the temptation is to try to avoid the expense. Reasonable care requires the use of appropriate necessary expertise, not just when it is budgeted. Sometimes

a director will have specific expertise in a topic at hand and want to advise the board.

When this happens, the director is not acting as a director but is an unpaid consultant and could be held liable for their advice. Savvy directors know their role as directors is to make good decisions and not to advise, and so support hiring outside experts for advice.

Wise directors also ensure the HOA has adequate directors and officers insurance in place, just in case.

Alcohol Ads Lead to Youth Drinking

By Desert Star Staff The marketing of alcoholic beverages is one cause of underage drinking, according to new research in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.

Because of this, countries should abandon what are often piecemeal and voluntary codes to restrict alcohol marketing and construct laws designed to limit alcohol marketing exposure and message appeal to youth, according to public health experts.

These conclusions stem from a series of eight review articles published as a supplement to JSAD, which synthesized the results of 163 studies on alcohol advertising and youth alcohol consumption. “[T]here is persuasive evidence that exposure to alcohol marketing is one cause of drinking onset during adolescence and also one cause of binge drinking,” writes James D. Sargent, M.D., of the C. Everett Koop Institute at Dartmouth, and Thomas F. Babor, Ph.D., M.P.H., of the University of Connecticut, in a

conclusion to the supplement.

Each of the eight review articles in the supplement evaluated a different aspect of alcohol marketing and drinking among young people. The reviews looked at hundreds of studies that used different research designs and measurement techniques, and the data came from a variety of countries and scientific disciplines.

The authors of the reviews used the Bradford Hill criteria – a well-known framework for determining causal links between environmental exposures and disease – to determine whether marketing is a cause of youth alcohol use. The criteria involve determining such aspects as the strength of the association, the consistency of the link, the timing of the exposure with the outcome, and biological and psychological plausibility.

Each of the criteria were met within the eight reviews, supporting a modest but meaningful association between alcohol advertising and youth drinking.

Although such a relationship had been previously known, this is the first time any public health expert has explicitly concluded that advertising causes drinking among adolescents.

As a result, the authors recommend the following: - Government agencies – independent from the alcohol industry – should restrict alcohol marketing exposures in the adolescent population.

- The Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention or the Office of the Surgeon General should sponsor a series of reports on alcohol and health, similar to the ones that have been published on tobacco.

- The U.S. National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism should resurrect its program to fund research on alcohol marketing and vulnerable populations.

- A larger international panel of public health experts

should be convened in order to reach a broader consensus, particularly in relation to digital marketing.

Sargent and Babor expressed the hope that the findings will promote “thoughtful discourse among researchers, effective prevention measures among policymakers, and an effort to reach consensus on this issue among a larger and more representative body of scientists.”

Americans Say They Can’t Save Enough for Retirement

By Desert Star Staff CONCORD, N.H. -- With the 2020 New Hampshire primary in the history books and the field of Democratic Party presidential contenders narrowing, many Americans approaching retirement are assessing where candidates stand on Social Security, pension programs and other retirement options.

The federal government’s “Report on the Economic WellBeing of U.S. Households” finds nearly 40% of American households couldn’t afford a surprise $400 expense --

which means tires, a medical emergency or even a minor home repair are out of reach.

Casey McCabe, director of the New Hampshire Retirement Security Coalition, says that’s a concern, because the U.S. economy depends on retirees having stable financial resources.

“And the ability for them to be secure in their retirement also allows them to go out and support the local and state economy, because they have the income to do so,” McCabe points out.

A second study by

the National Institute on Retirement Security, says 70% of Americans feel the average worker can’t save enough for retirement.

At the same time, pensions -- available mostly to public employees -- have been shown to have a greater impact than other retirement plans in reducing poverty among retirees.

Despite ongoing efforts to reduce or eliminate pension benefits for teachers, other school employees and state and local government workers, McCabe says pension benefits

offer the strongest guarantee for retirement income security.

She argues that retirement benefits shouldn’t be seen only as an expense, but also an asset -- because every dollar paid out in pension benefits supports $1.40 in total economic activity in New Hampshire.

“The mind set around retirement being an expense really needs to shift, because what is happening is folks are entering retirement with no savings, and then looking around and sort-of saying, ‘How am I going to survive?’”

Critics Challenge Proposal to Build New Private Prison

DesertSTAR

By Desert Star Staff The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services has announced that it will consider plans to build a 1,600 bed private prison to help ease currently overcrowded conditions and address projected growth in prison populations.

Sam Petto, communications director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska, says the state already has invested heavily to keep up with the challenges created by a system that, on average, sees nearly 5,600 people incarcerated every day.

“We think a lot smarter approach -- instead of trying to build more prison beds to keep up with that -- is to invest in diversion programs, to take a February 26, 2020

hard look at sentencing, and to find other ways to keep people out of the system,” he states.

Petto points to proven alternatives to incarceration, including drug courts that funnel non-violent offenders into treatment, and expanding parole options for people caught up in the war on drugs who already are serving sentences.

The Department of Correctional Services is considering a public-private partnership that would allow the state to lease a new prison, to avoid upfront construction costs.

Petto says Nebraska already is struggling to adequately staff current facilities, and warns that working with a for-profit company would open

McCabe points out.

The report also found 84% of Americans think politicians “are out of touch” with how hard it is to save for retirement.

Last year, New Hampshire lawmakers approved a pension increase 1.5% for state government workers -- the first increase to the pension system since 2010.

the door for increased human rights violations documented in other states.

Petto argues that a lease-to-own strategy would not benefit taxpayers in the long run.

“I just think it’s extremely misguided to say just because we’re not paying for something right on the front end, in whole, in sum total, doesn’t mean that taxpayers aren’t on the hook,” he stresses.

Petto says funding for corrections in Nebraska increased by 290% between 1985 and 2016, outpacing spending in other areas, including higher education, which grew by just 57% over the same time period.

DOD Sued for Burning Toxic Chemicals

By Desert Star Staff The Pentagon is being sued for quietly contracting to burn millions of gallons of foam containing toxic chemicals at incinerators around the country, including here in New York.

The unused firefighting foam contains PFAS, a class of chemicals now so persistent in the environment they’re called “forever chemicals.” PFAS, which has been found in the drinking water in Hoosick Falls and Newburgh, New York, has been linked to a number of serious health

conditions, including cancer.

According to Jonathan Kalmuss-Katz, a staff attorney at the environmental law firm Earthjustice, the incineration has already begun.

“This was shipped to the Norlite kiln in Cohoes,” says Kalmuss-Katz. “But there was no public announcement, no local awareness, and even (the Department of Environmental Conservation) and (the Environmental Protection Agency) were kept in the dark.”

The lawsuit charges that the incineration violates the National Environmental Policy

Act or NEPA, and the National Defense Authorization Act. Kalmuss-Katz notes that NEPA requires federal agencies to examine the environmental consequences of their actions before approving them, as well as public disclosure of any environmental or health impacts.

“Here, there was no NEPA review,” says KalmussKatz. “DOD rushed into these contracts without looking at the impacts on the surrounding communities, and really put large amounts of people at risk

without ever considering the chemicals they were going to be exposed to.”

He adds that the National Defense Authorization Act contains a specific provision regulating the incineration of PFAS. Facing lawsuits and potentially billions in liability for releases of PFAS in firefighting foams used at bases around the country, the Department of Defense chose to incinerate its unused stock. But as KalmussKatz points out, PFAS was used in the foam precisely because it doesn’t burn.

Augustine Casino was the first business enterprise of the Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians when it opened July 18, 2002. It features nearly 800 of the most popular slot machines as well as the area’s only utterly non-smoking table games pit. The award-winning Café 54 offers a casual dining experience along with daily buffets. Augustine Casino is nestled in the shadows of the beautiful San Jacinto Mountains only three miles east of PGA West in the Coachella Valley at 84-001 Avenue 54 in Coachella.

For more information call 760.391.9500 or visit www. augustinecasino.com.

“When you send that foam to the incinerator, you not only end up with the risk of PFAS coming out of the stack, but also hazardous chemicals that are produced by incomplete combustion,” says Kalmuss-Katz. “So, it poses a serious threat to the surrounding community.”

The lawsuit asks the court to annul the contracts for incinerating PFAS and to require the DOD to conduct the environmental studies it should have done before burning the chemicals.

Fighting to Eliminate Voter Confusion for FL Ex-Offenders

By Desert Star Staff TALLAHASSEE, Fla. The news was spreading with excitement after a Florida appeals court affirmed the state can’t stop some people released from prison from registering to vote just because they haven’t paid all their court fees - but there’s a caveat.

The Wednesday ruling affects only the 17 people who filed the suit to challenge Florida’s law - instead of the 1.4 million former felons waiting to have their rights restored under Amendment 4.

Desmond Meade, executive director with the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition - who authored the amendment - says the roller-coaster process of litigation is tough. Much like his own time waiting to hear whether he would be released from prison. www.desertstarweekly.com

“And that’s very draining and taxing,” says Meade.

“And so my heart goes out to any returning citizen - right?

Who is taking this up-anddown journey of litigation and this stuff with the legislation, and is getting confused.”

Amendment 4 was passed overwhelmingly by voters in 2018 - then, the Republican-led Legislature passed a law saying people had to pay any fines and fees before getting their rights restored. A Tallahassee federal judge said that amounts to an unfair poll tax.

Governor Ron DeSantis plans to challenge the ruling.

The ruling still gives hope to those expecting to have their voting rights restored, and Meade vows to keep working, under the current law, to help anyone in need. He encourages people to donate to the

Flat-Earther ‘Mad’ Mike Hughes killed in crash-landing

By Desert Star Staff Daredevil Flat-Earther ‘Mad’ Mike Hughes has died after launching himself into the sky in a homemade rocket.

Purported video of the accident shows the fatal launch.

Hughes and a colleague built the steam-powered rocket in hopes of shooting the daredevil 5,000 feet (1.5km) into the air. The endeavor was being documented by the Science Channel, which wanted to feature him in a new series called ‘Homemade Astronauts’.

A video purportedly filmed at the site shows the rocket being launched into the sky near Barstow, California, before Hughes plunges back down to the earth.

The self-taught rocket engineer gained notoriety for his belief that the Earth is flat.

However, Hughes said that his flat-Earth belief was not the primary motivator for his latest, and final, rocket test, stressing that he was simply a daredevil.

The 64-year-old first shot himself into the sky in 2014, and completed several launches. His most successful attempt took place in March 2018 when he propelled himself approximately 1,875 feet (572 meters) into the air before crashing back to Earth at around 350mph (563kph).

He sustained multiple injuries from his previous flights, before ultimately succumbing to his dangerous hobby on Saturday.

Immigrants’ Advocates Urge Calm as ‘Public Charge’ Rule Takes Effect

By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Starting Monday, immigrants applying for green cards will be subject to the Trump administration’s new ‘public charge’ rule.

The changes make it harder for people who receive certain types of public assistance to be approved. Benefits used before February 24 will not count, and the changes do not include the use of WIC or Medi-Cal for children.

At Plascencia Consulting, immigration advocate and executive director Hector Plascensia says before this, the feds only considered use of programs like Supplemental Security Income, Cal Works and nursing-home care under Medi-Cal. “What is being added - starting this coming Monday, February 24th - it’s

going to include Cal Fresh, housing Section 8 and public housing, and federally funded Medicaid,” says Plascensia.

The changes don’t affect many immigrants, including those who are U.S. citizens, legal residents, refugees or asylees, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival or Temporary Protected Status recipients, or those with U-visas and T-visas - which are for victims of violent crime, trafficking and domestic violence.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the new rule, which the Trump administration argues is necessary to make sure that immigrants can support themselves financially.

Plascencia notes that use of certain benefits doesn’t automatically make someone a public charge - rather, it triggers a step known as a “totality

the Alliance for Clean Energy New York, points out that modifying that process will be critical to meeting the state’s mandated renewable energy benchmarks.

“We have a large number of solar and wind grid-scale projects that have been waiting to get approval and we are never going to meet our goals under the new climate law if we don’t actually start building,” she states.

The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, signed into law last year, requires the state to obtain 70% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.

Other provisions of the proposal would help standardize taxation rules for renewable energy facilities and create workforce training, especially in disadvantaged communities.

Peck Kelleher says the proposal, called the “Accelerated Renewable Energy Growth and Community Benefit Act,” will be added to the budget bills already being considered by the state legislature.

“We’re very excited about this proposal and are looking forward to working with the legislature on seeing this enacted.”

Final passage of the state budget is due by April 1.

Pet-friendliness for 50 of the most popular U.S. vacation destinations

By Desert Star Staff Analysis Methodology For this study, data was compiled on the following 8 criteria: Number of dog parks per 100Kpopulation Number of pet stores Number of petfriendly hotels Number of vacation rentals that will accommodate pets Number/extent of pet-friendly restaurants Availability of veterinarians per 100Kpopulation Total miles of hiking trails available Total number of hiking trails per 100Kpersons The 8 criteria, when summed, gave each location a possible maximum value of 50. Each city rated was then ranked numerically according to their calculated score.

For a fuller discussion of the weighting and details of the various ratings, as well as detailed graphics and interactive charts. Upgraded Points also provides useful tips for traveling with your pet and a list of pet-friendly airports.

Cities with the Highest Pet-Friendly Ratings The clear winner in this data study was the city of Asheville, North Carolina. It topped the list with a total score of 47.5 out of 50 points.

In fact, Asheville received maximum positive ratings for 6 of the 8 total criteria.

Critically, two of those maxedout positive ratings were for the number of pet-friendly hotels and also the number of vacation rentals available

that were considered petfriendly. The city also has a large number of hiking trails, which would be important to any pet owner desiring to take their pet outside.

The number two city was determined to be Santa Fe, New Mexico. This city also had top-flight rankings for pet-friendly accommodations, pet-friendly vacation rental units and hotels.

Cities with the Lowest Ratings for Pet-Friendliness Unfortunately, this study uncovered a few cities that have room to improve their experience for travelers with pets. With the lowest score was Maui, Hawaii, which only scored a 2.3 rating out of 50 possible points.

It did get some rating for their hiking opportunities, but failed to secure any points for accommodations that were pet-friendly, nor did they receive any points for pet-friendly activities (such as restaurants that were pet-friendly).

Alex Miller, founder of Upgraded Points, speaking about a major finding of this study, noted that “A big surprise to us was to find the shocking number of major metropolitan U. S. cities that did not score well at all. A number of these cities have very few pet-friendly hotels and vacation rentals for their population size, which is a big drawback for those traveling with pets, and most struggle to provide enough -- or any -- amenities like dog parks and hiking trails. Until this

situation changes, we would strongly recommend that travelers avoid traveling to those cites with their pets.”

CBS “Eye on Travel” lands at Southern Cal’s Ontario International Airport

Peter Greenberg’s “Eye on Travel” show will feature Ontario International Airport. www.desertstarweekly.com

By Desert Star Staff ONTARIO, Calif- This week’s “Eye on Travel with Peter Greenberg” takes an up-close look at Southern California’s Ontario International Airport (ONT).

A renowned travel expert and the most recognized journalist covering the travel industry, Greenberg talks with airport officials, aviation industry executives and others in media to explore the secrets to ONT’s success since its transfer to local control just three years ago. The ONT feature airs Saturday, February 29, on the CBS Radio Network.

“The Ontario airport commission and all of our employees were excited to welcome Peter and honored that he chose our airport for his next broadcast,” said Mark Thorpe, chief executive officer of the OntarioInternational Airport Authority. “Peter has spent a lifetime traveling the world and his observations and insights have influenced those of us February 26, 2020

who operate airports and airlines, others who provide travel-related services and, of course, travel consumers.

In addition to Thorpe, Greenberg’s three-hour broadcast includes indepth interviews with: • Alan Wapner, president, Ontario International Airport Authority Commission; • Susanne Boda, senior vice president for Los Angeles, American Airlines; • Andrew Watterson, chief commercial officer, Southwest Airlines; • Henry Harteveldt, travel industry analyst, co-founder Atmosphere Research Group; • Tim Conway Jr., host of The Tim Conway Jr. Show, KFI Radio Los Angeles; and • Scott McCartney, travel editor and “The Middle Seat” columnist, The Wall Street Journal.

While at ONT, located in the heart of Southern California’s Inland Empire east of downtown Los Angeles, Greenberg

was accompanied by a production team to capture video footage throughout the airport complex for a future installment of “The Travel Detective,” a separate broadcast produced and cohosted by Greenberg for PBS. A winner of multiple Emmy awards for his investigative reporting, Greenberg appears regularly on CBS programs including “CBS This Morning” and the “CBS Evening News.” His website is the leading travel news resource for consumers and industry insiders alike.

Ontario was the fastestgrowing airport in 2019, the second straight year it achieved the honor. More than 5.5 million airline passengers traveled through ONT last year, an increase of 9.1% over 2018 when 5.1 million arrived at and departed from the airport and the highest passenger level since 2008.

HOROSCOPES ARIES

As you recognize the vital and initiating work you are to bring forth, you will also need to learn how to participate in groups with intelligence and heart-felt alignment. You are to construct part of the new world, culture and civilization.

Is this in your awareness?

Are you conscious of what this implies and the needs of humanity? You’re called to awaken again for the times are coming when those who plan and lead boldly, take risks and assess the future, working with both heart and mind, will be summoned. Prepare.

TAURUS The architecture of your participation in life is changing.

Previously you dreamed big dreams, pondered upon many realities, not concerned if anything took shape. Now you’re behind the scenes, teaching and facilitating groups, preparing the components of the new world era. Taurus has an enlightened mind with the ability to see humanity’s present/future needs. You are aware in the breakdown phase seeds of the new must be sowed.

You’re synthesizing all realities so others can understand.

GEMINI Many forces are at work in your life. As a Gemini you always attempt to resolve polarities - higher with lower, Soul with personality.

This is a vital and difficult task accomplished by the

FEBRUARY 26 – MARCH 3, 2020 ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST BY RISA D’ANGELES

proper cultivation of the mind principle (which calms the emotions) and the right course of study that allows no illusions, confusions, untruths, unkindness, distortions or maya. Venus calls you to share the Path with others and Aquarius wants you to develop all seven levels of your mind. Will you?

CANCER Always we feel some form of conflict. Know that this conflict (and chaos) is useful. It gives us the ability to observe tensions and to express needs, fears and anxieties. So often there is a great battle going on between the Soul and personality. The Soul calls us to Right Action and Right Service. The personality seeks to sleep. Many don’t know the difference between the two. There is a reorientation occurring within, new information released into your mind. Especially during Mercury retrograde.

LEO You’ve entered a time where relationships are vitally important yet at times you feel not connected to anything or anyone. You’re in a place of balancing and choosing, an interlude state. Your inner reality concerning relationships and how you function in them is being modified so that you can display Right Relationships while still expressing your unique creativity. Hold opposing forces in balance. A greater awareness emerges.

Your love then flows once

more. Love is your gift.

From the heart of the Sun.

VIRGO New revelations stream into your mind concerning how to structure daily life.

Revelations occur during Mercury retrogrades. Changes in our daily life prepares us to function within the new dimensions and structures in the world slowly coming into our awareness. Receive all impressions with devotion and detail. Be aware if weariness occurs. You then must rest which changes your perspectives.

LIBRA Although, under the veil of Libra’s charm, you are a strong and powerful force, a greater level of Love/Wisdom must begin expressing itself through you. It begins with acceptance and gratitude for everyone and everything (past and present, here and there, then and now. Begin with intention and say over and over, “Love expresses itself through me always and then Wisdom follows.” Then your life and relationships proceed with protective loving healing care.

SCORPIO You will begin to have solitary times thinking things great and small. Create an environment that nurtures in all ways – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of yourself. Be in touch with the kingdoms – Soul, human, animal, plant and

mineral. Make altars to them.

Love combined with your great intelligence will form a foundation for a new life emerging. It begins where you live. Later you’ll be asked to teach these very things to others who are lost.

SAGITTARIUS You should have a very good year. Especially if you blend two realities – your personality and Soul. This produces harmony for a time. Then the Soul leaves and Will enters, the Will of God. You will be asked to harmonize your little will with the greater Will. It will not be easy. Will is a fire. As your career rises and you make a big splash, in all of this never be thoughtless. Or you’ll lose much. Remember as you go about work that “wisdom is knowledge gained through experience and implemented by love.” Thoughts to ponder in this Mercury retrograde time.

CAPRICORN Whatever it is you hope for, radiate it with Love from your heart and ajna (forehead) diamond light center. Both are where love streams forth. Then new life will take root, expressed as harmony, beauty and peace (a process).

Your love for those around you eases disharmony and conflict, even when it abruptly arises. You do remember that Harmony comes after conflict and chaos, yes?

Behind conflict and chaos, harmony waits patiently.

This year you have great energy and potential, needed as new sources of income are sought and as you seek to control impatience. Be aware of communication or you could be thought of as being harsh and thoughtless toward others. We know you’re not.

Remember to be courteous and kind, show sympathy. A new self-identity continues to emerge. Be sure it includes goodness, generosity and love.

We experience what we give.

PISCES You have begun the arduous task of understanding your feelings, thoughts, aspirations, actions and vulnerabilities.

Much of your life has been treading the pathway of service and sacrifice, which you know well. A new beneficent cycle has begun, expanding your courage and strength of character.

This may not be acceptable to some. Maintain privacy, walk away from disharmony, don’t believe criticism. The stars are protecting you.

Report: Plan to Mediate Surprise Medical Bills Helps Few in AZ

A visit to the emergency room or other health care facility - even if it is in your insurance network can result in a huge, surprise out-of-network bill. (CLShebley/AdobeStock)

By Desert Star Staff PHOENIX -- Patient advocates say an Arizona program to resolve surprise medical bills is a good start but doesn’t go far enough to help struggling consumers.

8

DesertSTAR

The state-run program offers mediation between patients and providers to resolve out-of-network bills incurred at an in-network facility. In 2019, the program’s first year, it received only

53 requests for mediation, and two-thirds were disqualified for not meeting program requirements.

Marcus Johnson, director of policy and advocacy with the Phoenix-based Vitalyst February 26, 2020

Health Foundation, said while thousands of Arizonans may be eligible, the plan’s narrow scope has kept a majority of applicants from a satisfactory resolution.

“If you were one of the relatively few who this applies to, and if you initiated the arbitration process, you’re likely to get your bill basically forgiven, for lack of a better term,” Johnson said.

The program is limited to surprise bills of more than $1,000, but excludes bills from HMOs, federal plans and limited-benefit plans. SB 1602, a measure to include bills from those kinds of plans and other changes, is pending in the Legislature.

The problem of surprise bills is prevalent in the healthcare industry. A recent report by the Congressional Budget Office said surprise, out-ofnetwork bills affect about 1 in 6 American consumers, costing more than $37 billion in 2018, with an average

invoice of $3,500 per patient.

Johnson said he consistently sees outof-network bills coming from a narrow group of Arizona providers.

“We look at requests that were resolved in the four most common requests by health care provider Specialty Area,” he said. “It shows anesthesiology and emergency docs being the most frequent.

That’s not surprising.”

Johnson said it appears the state has not done much to inform consumers about the program, and he was disappointed in the low number of participants. A spokesman for the Department of Insurance said the law requires care facilities and health insurers to inform patients about the plan, but the agency does not verify whether they are in compliance.

More information on the program is available at insurance.az.gov.

Celebrate Black History Month with ‘Harriet’

For many Harriet Tubman’s stories may be unfamiliar, but thanks to the film “Harriet,” now available on DVD, you have the chance to get to know her.

In fact, her face will become very familiar since it will soon be placed on the $20 bill.

Gifted British actress, singer, songwriter Cynthia Erivo, won a Tony for her 2016 performance in the Broadway revival of “The Color Purple” and appeared on screen in “Widows” and “Bad Times at the El Royale.” This year she was nominated for an Academy Award for her spirited portrayal as Harriet Tubman in “Harriet.”

Tubman was born on January 1,1820 in Maryland and lived into her 90s, dying on March 10, 1913, from pneumonia. In between, she lived a beautiful life as an abolitionist who helped black slaves escape to freedom.

The film begins in 1849.

Harriet is a slave named Araminta “Minty” Ross, living on a plantation in Maryland. She is

deeply religious and has visions where God speaks directly to her. She is married to a free black man named John Tubman (Zachary Momoh), who is told by a lawyer that the current owner’s greatgrandfather had granted Harriet and her mother their freedom in his will. The slave owner furiously denies this, and at his death, the plantation is passed on to his widow (country singer Jennifer Nettles) and their son Gideon (Joe Alwyn), who has known Minty all of her life. He threatens to sell her if she tries to leave. If that happens, he tells her, “you will never see your family again.”

At this point, she decides to flee by herself, so her husband and family won’t be in danger if she is caught escaping.

When she gets to Philadelphia, she is aided

by William Still (Leslie Odom Jr., Tony winner for “Hamilton”), who is head of the Anti-Slavery Society.

Eventually, she can return to Maryland. She plans to reunite with her husband and bring him and her family to freedom in the North.

Unfortunately, things have changed dramatically. Thinking she had died, John has remarried and fathered a child.

While this is unfortunate for

Harriet, this enabled her to save a countless number of slaves via the underground railway.

“Harriet” was directed by Kasi Lemmons, who co-wrote the screenplay with Gregory Allen Howard. The film is rated PG-13 for thematic content throughout, violent material, and language, including

racial epithets. Running time: 2 hours, 5 minutes.

“Harriet” is now available on DVD and is well worth seeing.

Also on DVD: “Ford vs.

Ferrari” starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale and “Joker” with Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix.

Weinstein found GUILTY of 2 counts sexual assault and 3rd degree rape

By Desert Star Staff Miramax mogul Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of third-degree rape and first-degree sexual assault, while the jury has acquitted him of the more serious

www.desertstarweekly.com

charges of predatory sexual assault and first-degree rape.

The jury’s decision was delivered on Monday after five days of deliberation and spares him a conviction on charges which would have

carried an automatic life sentence. However, he still faces a potential 25 years in prison, which would be an effective life sentence for the 67-year-old producer.

Specifically, Weinstein was convicted of raping aspiring actress Jessica Mann in 2013 and assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in 2006, while he was acquitted of the charges related to his alleged assault of actress Annabella Sciorra.

After the verdict was read, Weinstein was immediately surrounded by court officers, handcuffed, and removed from the courtroom to jail. While his lawyers protested that he needs medical attention following an unsuccessful back surgery, the judge said he would request Weinstein be held in the infirmary. He is due to be sentenced March 11.

Jurors had approached the judge on Friday asking to deliver their decision on three of the five counts, complaining they were deadlocked on the February 26, 2020

more serious predatory sexual assault charges. However, they were told to keep deliberating instead, as prosecutors refused to accept a partial verdict.

The court heard testimony from a total of six women in an effort to establish Weinstein’s pattern of predatory behavior over the years. The disgraced mogul was shown to have a pattern of using his unmatched power in Hollywood - and sometimes brute force - to coerce young or inexperienced women into unwanted sexual acts.

Weinstein became the bestknown villain of the #MeToo movement in 2017 as first a trickle and then a flood of actresses and other women came forward with stories of sexual misconduct up to and including rape at the hands of the superstar producer, who operated with something like impunity for years.

Weinstein himself did not testify during the month-long trial, merely showing up to court looking rumpled and

significantly frailer than usual.

The women’s testimony was graphic and emotional as might be expected, with Weinstein’s defense apparently succeeding in planting seeds of doubt as to why Sciorra didn’t “run out of the apartment” or “try to poke him in the eyes” when the 300-pound producer allegedly barged into her home and raped her in 1993 or 1994.

His defense argued that all the sexual encounters in question were consensual, claiming the women had willingly traded sex for roles or other forms of advancement in the film industry.

Weinstein faces further charges in Los Angeles, where he was accused of raping one woman and sexually assaulting another in a four-count indictment filed in January. Those charges stem from two incidents in February 2013, and the victims were not identified. More than 80 women have accused him of sexual misconduct in total.

Tyson Fury stops Deontay Wilder to win WBC world heavyweight title

By Desert Star Staff Tyson Fury produced a masterclass as he dismantled Deontay Wilder to stop the American in round seven of their rematch in Las Vegas and claim the WBC world heavyweight title.

Fury dominated from the opening bell at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, dropping Wilder in the third and fifth rounds before the American was put out of his misery in the seventh as his corner threw in the towel.

It was a first defeat for the Bronze Bomber as he lost the WBC title he has held since 2015, while Fury extended his unbeaten record after what was the highest performance of the British boxer’s career.

In the sequel to the pair’s thrilling split-decision draw in December of 2018, lineal world champion Fury had promised he would go after the American more aggressively than in the first fight after making a switch of trainers and seeing Ben Davison replaced

by Sugar Hill Steward.

The Gypsy King made good on that promise from the outset by comprehensively outboxing and overpowering Wilder.

The American was on the retreat from the early stages in Las Vegas, managing to land a straight right inside the first minute as a reminder of his power but otherwise being bossed by Fury, who was all twitches and head movement as he peppered Wilder with solid shots to take the opening round.

The pair ended round two clinched on the ropes as Fury continued to dominate, keeping Wilder at range with his jab and soaking up any shots on the rare occasion the American slipped through his guard.

Fury stepped things up with a big round three, scoring a knockdown with a left-right combination that clipped the back of Wilder’s head, while Fury’s left jab regularly found a home as Wilder looked increasingly bewildered.

Fury stalked Wilder as the American went to the canvas again, although referee

12

DesertSTAR

Kenny Bayless appeared to put it down to a slip.

There were no doubts in round five, though, as Fury duly dropped Wilder again

midway through the round with a savage left to the body.

Again Wilder survived the count but looked out on his feet as Fury circled for the

finish, despite the Manchester fighter having a point deducted for hitting after the break.

Fury finished the round swinging, but Wilder survived, traipsing back to his corner as he contemplated the loss of the WBC title he had previously defended 10 times.

Into the sixth round and Fury started where he left off, with Wilder backed against the ropes as the Brit sought the finish.

Fury continued to be the aggressor as Wilder clung on for dear life, but when the American staggered into the center of the ring for the seventh, it looked merely a matter of time before his fate was sealed.

That was the case soon after as Wilder was backed against the ropes and taking heavy punishment,

forcing the towel to come in from Wilder’s corner.

Wilder claimed after the fight that he had wanted to “go out on his shield,” but it was clear the decision from his corner was the correct one as their man shipped increasingly brutal punishment.

“I just wish that my corner would’ve let me go out on my shield. I’m a warrior. That’s what I do.”Deontay Wilder after losing to Tyson Fury — ESPN Fury showed his class by praising Wilder for showing the “heart of a champion” by getting up from the knockdowns, but proclaimed that “the king has returned to the top of the throne.” “[Deontay Wilder] will be a champion again, but I will say the king has returned to the top of the throne.”—Tyson Fury

BY ROBERT KINSLER

Essential Under-The-Radar Releases Impress

Artist: Vance Gilbert Title: Good, Good Man (Disismye Music) You might like if you enjoy: Boz Scaggs, Daryl Hall, Steve Goodman, Keb’ Mo’ Tell me more: Vance Gilbert’s wonderful genredefying album “Good, Good Man” makes one thing clear: it’s all about the song. The selections here are melodic,

memorable and delivered with a master’s touch. Gilbert’s 13th album, “Good, Good Man” is bolstered by his signature lead vocals, nuanced arrangements and an artful cohesiveness that brings the various styles and moods together artfully across the dozen tracks. The R&B foray “Trust,” literate piano ballad “Cousin Shelly’s Station Wagon,” joyful “Another Great Day Above Ground,” and zeal of the retro swing “Zombie Pattycake” are early standouts. The disc closes out just as powerfully via the soulful “When I Cross Over,”

By Desert Star Staff Palm Springs’ resident Goldie (Gola) Jacoby is a Holocaust survivor. She was born in Poland in 1937. When Hitler’s army invaded Poland, Goldie’s life was at risk. After witnessing brutal killings, her family, 10 individuals in total, went into hiding. A small pigsty, belonging to a poor local farmer, served as the hiding quarters. Its dimensions 5 x 5 feet. Goldie recalls the harsh conditions: no room to stand, no bathing, whispering only when necessary, lice infected, cold, and constantly hungry and thirsty.

To put a smile on little Goldie’s face, her mother decided to sew an apron out of her torn slip. That apron is now on display at Rancho Mirage’s Tolerance Education Center.

The family was in hiding for almost three years.

When finally liberated by the Red Army, none of the 10 individuals could walk properly, their legs atrophied.

Today Goldie shares her gripping survival story with students. She hopes that by telling her story the attitude towards prejudice and racism will change. She states that her religion is kindness.

Goldie is also a self-made author. She writes books on her home computer.

My Jump, a local nonprofit that helps low-income seniors fulfill something on their bucket list, was introduced to Goldie through Jewish Family Services. Webb Weiman, My Jump founder, decided to help Goldie record her book using professional equipment.

On Tuesday, February 18th, 2020, the Tolerance Education Center held ‘Forever Goldie’ celebrating the life

A trio of new underthe-radar releases deserving of widespread attention are featured in my column this week.

Headed by lead singersongwriter/multi-instrumentalist Anna Karney, the Bay Area, California-based band mines ‘70s classic rock along with contemporary modern rock with the skill and firepower of modern day favorites Greta Van Fleet. Listening to KARNEY’s compelling reworking of the Led Zeppelin classic “Ramble On” is the perfect entry to discover the acoustic rendition of Skylark’s joys offered up on “Better,” but 1973 soft rock hit “Wildflower” listen and groove along and you’ll discover the anthemic and the smart spoken word nugget “Trust,” the enthralling celebration of Halloween “Trust,” the prog-tinged “The Day Before November.”

Information: vancegilbert.com. “Round and Round” and other must-hear material. KARNEY’s solid lineup is rounded out Artist: KARNEY by bassist Kevin White, Title: Better (Karney drummer Jeff Herrera, trumpet Music and Sounds) player Bill Ortizguitarists Erik You might like if you Smyth and James DePrato. enjoy: Sass Jordan, Information: Karney.org.

Heart, Linda Perry Tell me more: Fans of top-flight classic rock looking Artist: Glenn Jones Title: Ready for the Good for something new should catch a listen of of KARNEY’s Times (Good Guys Music) wonderful new EP “Better.”

You might like if you

enjoy: David Serby, Hank Williams, Bobbo Byrnes Tell me more: Draped in a winning mix of folk, Appalachia and authentic country-western, singer-songwriter Glenn Jones’ third studio album “Ready for the Good Times” has a pleasing sound sure to impress fans of Americana and roots music. The soundscape is rich, adorned with layers of guitar, mandolin, fiddle, lap steel and sumptuous vocal harmonies. The North Carolinabased artist’s lyrics probe life’s road with equal skill and his sonorous baritone delivers the original songs with assurance and authenticity. The infectious countrified blues of the playful “My Baby Makes Pie,” bluegrass-flavored “Ripples in the Pond,” reflective ballad “I Wish You Could See Me Now,” and broken dreams-themed “Bury My Heart on Music Row” are among the highlights on this great album.

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.

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, 1-800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.auction.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9434-1782.

How to Save Big on Tech Upgrades

By Desert Star Staff If you’re in the market for a smartphone, tablet, smart watch or other gadget, you may be preparing to pay through the nose. Experts say that you don’t have to go broke on tech if you shop wisely.

“You can make more room in your budget by not paying the price for brand-new models of devices,” says David Conti, senior director of eCommerce at MyWit. “Affordable, high-quality refurbished phones and other devices are pretty easy to come by if you know where to look.”

Unfortunately, many consumers are not yet hip to the fact that many mobile phones, tablets and accessories that come from trade-in and upgrade programs were perfectly

good devices that owners traded in for newer models.

Experts stress that the idea that all refurbished devices are lemons is a misconception.

However, buyers should be careful to stick with reputable sources where you can trust the device to be in fully functional condition.

To that end, look for retailers with a vigorous inspection process, such as MyWiT (My Wireless Technology), where all pre-owned devices for sale undergo a 65+ point inspection of cosmetics, functionality and connectivity to ensure optimal performance. Tests verify that every function of the device is in 100 percent working order and connectivity tests ensure wireless devices deliver a

consistent quality of connection and don’t drop available signals.

Offering a variety of highquality new and like-new devices, including smartphones, tablets, headphones, smart watches and accessories, and featuring major brands like Apple, Samsung and more, all MyWiT products come with free shipping within the US and a 90-day money back promise. To learn more, visit MyWiT.com.

“While you may think the savviest consumers are the folks standing in line every time the latest models are dropped, the truth is that they’re actually the people capitalizing on the influx of like-new devices that those folks have traded in,” says Conti. StatePoint

Production Ends for Pesticide Linked to Health Problems in Kids

By Desert Star Staff South Dakota farmers who use a controversial pesticide on their corn, soybeans and other crops will need to find another product next year after the manufacturer announced it will end production in 2020 because of declining sales.

The decision by Corteva to quit making chlorpyrifos comes after California banned the pesticide effective this year.

The advocacy group Earthjustice has pushed the Environmental Protection Agency to support the product’s ban. Earthjustice attorney Marisa Ordonia said its use has been linked to brain damage and other health defects in children.

“I think what it sends a signal of is that people don’t want this. They don’t want it on their food and they’re responding to that,” Ordonia said. “You know, if their sales have declined, I think

that tells us something.”

Earthjustice wanted other U.S. manufacturers to stop making the pesticide, which has been banned in Germany and Sweden, among other countries. According to research by the Society of Environmental Journalists, there is significant use of the pesticide in eastern South Dakota, but it is not as concentrated as parts of surrounding states such as Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska.

The World Health Organization considers chlorpyrifos “moderately hazardous” to humans based on its acute toxicity. But exposure beyond recommended levels has been linked to neurological effects, along with developmental and autoimmune disorders.

Ordonia said there’s also evidence it can harm water and wildlife.

“One of the things about

The largest manufacturer of a pesticide linked to impaired brain development in children will end its production. (jcesar2015/Pixabay) the way that chlorpyrifos works is that it affects the nervous system of anything, so not just the pests that it’s designed to kill but also people, which is why it’s so dangerous,” she said.

The United States banned most home uses of chlorpyrifos in 2001, but not agricultural uses. The EPA has resisted removing the product from the market,

saying additional safety tests are needed. Corteva said it will continue to back the pesticide during the EPA’s review.

Scientists to hunt tornadoes with microphones used to listen for NUKES

By Desert Star Staff Meteorologists have longstruggled to predict when and where tornadoes will strike, but now scientists testing specialized microphones used to detect illegal nuclear weapons tests believe they may have a way to track the twisters.

Tornadoes can be a scourge, wreaking havoc and misery on populations with little to no prior warning because of how incredibly difficult they are to predict and track with any high degree of accuracy.

But now, Roger Waxler of the University of Mississippi

and his team at the National Center for Physical Acoustics think they have the answer: microphones that can hear infrasound, or sound below the range of human hearing, emitted by tornadoes which can be picked up more than 50 miles (80 kilometers) away.

At present, meteorologists look for strong updrafts and instability in the lower levels of a storm system, as well as the telltale curling of the precipitation field on satellite radar, to indicate roughly where a tornado is in the process of forming and sound the alarm.

Despite advances in technology, however, eyewitness accounts are still the most reliable and most concrete way of confirming the formation of cyclones, though this does nothing to assist in predicting when or where they will touch down and poses an obvious threat to the lives of the eyewitness.

In the past few years, Waxler and his team deployed a network of infrasound microphone arrays across northern Alabama, having already developed the specialized mics to help the US government enforce the Comprehensive Nuclear Test

By Desert Star Staff DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CA – Battling other continents, countries, and California municipal agencies, Mission Springs Water District (MSWD) was awarded top honor at the 30th Annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting with “Best Tasting Municipal Water in the World” for 2020.

Mission Springs Water District entered the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting along with more than 100 waters from across the country and around the globe held February 20-23, 2020.

“This is truly wonderful.

Mission Springs Water District is

honored to have been selected best-tasting water in the world for the third time,” MSWD Board President Nancy Wright explains. “Year after year, all submissions prove worthy. We are deeply proud that Mission Springs Water District can represent the whole Coachella Valley on the world stage.”

The 30th-anniversary celebration took place on Saturday, February 22, 2020.

It is the most extensive and longest-running water tasting in the world, dubbed by BuzzFeed and The Week “the world’s most prestigious water tasting.”

“The consistency in winners from year to year with different

panels of judges validates the choices,” remarked perennial watermaster, Arthur von Wiesenberger. “It also speaks to the impressively high caliber of the waters entered.” This is the ninth medal Mission Springs Water District has received since it began participating in the Berkeley Springs Tasting Competition in 1997.

Since its inception, more than 700 distinct waters from all over the United States and from as far away as Greece, New Zealand, and Korea have entered the Berkeley Springs Tasting Competition. This year, a total of four continents submitted waters totaling

more than 100 submissions.

The twelve judges included representatives from various regional and national media, including television, newspapers, and online magazines. They were instructed to look, sniff, and taste each water under guidelines similar to those in a wine tasting. The waters were rated for each attribute including appearance (it should be clear - or slightly opaque for glacial waters), aroma (there should be none), taste (it should taste clean), mouth feel (it should feel light), aftertaste (it should leave you thirsty for more).

Waters were tasted in four

Ban Treaty. The team’s arrays picked up the formation of eight tornadoes on March 19, 2018 alone, using only their incredibly low-pitched hum (1-10 Hz).

Thanks to additional National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) funding, Waxler and his team are now able to expand their network into parts of Mississippi and Louisiana and fine tune their already promising technology.

Estimates for damage caused by tornadoes in the US run as high as $19.5 billion for 2019 alone. The cyclones can also be fatal with preliminary data indicating that 43 people were killed by the whirlwinds in the US last year. Despite the dangers the US National Weather Service still reports at least a 50 percent false alarm rate for issued tornado warnings.

Mission Springs Water District looks forward to the 31st annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting, scheduled for Saturday, February 27, 2021.

also a female with romantic designs on Sid. Their attraction is mutual, but they land on opposite sides when the union demands that the company management should authorize the raises. It’s one of the oldest running divides in industrialized societies: Management rights vs. Workers rights, where it takes the wisdom of a Solomon in such negotiations to make everyone happy and willingness to return to work.

Musical plotlines of 60 years ago generally kept the story relatively simple and easy to follow. The appeal that audiences were expecting came in the form the music and the lyrics. And the songs that the composers and the librettists provided. And three outstanding numbers came from their collaborations: “Hey There,” “Steam Heat,” and “Hernando’s Hideaway.” Also, winning three Tony’s in the process.

“Hey There” features Sid and Babe in solo performances: Nicholas Sloan in Act One and Jamie WalkerSloan in Act Two. These two talented performers have great on and off-stage chemistry as it turns out they’re married to each in real life, and it shows in their singing and acting numbers. A nice casting touch.

If ever a theatrical company needs a Bob Fosse-inspired dancer/choreographer for a musical/dance production, Anthony Nannini, as Charley, has to be on your wish list.

His execution and precision of Fosse-like dance moves is exciting to watch. The “Steam Heat” number that begins Act Two is terrifically performed by Nannini and Rob Rota. Kudos to choreographer

Stephanie Eley. Well Done.

The third number to emerge as an award-winning original number of years ago is performed by the spirited ensemble in “Hernando’s Hideaway” The ensemble members are energetic even though there are traffic management issues on the small, somewhat cramped, and cluttered acting space designed by Toby Griffin.

It’s a minor point, but backstage actors can be seen moving around off stage by the audience. It’s an easy fix that black cloth curtains can do so as not to break the onstage mood and action. The main thrust of the production, however, is that the basic human drive for love, Romance, and hope, is very much worth fighting for and is very much alive in this production.

The musical accompaniment is provided by musical director Phillip Hubler on piano, David Bronson on drums, and Larry Holloway on Bass.

The creative team for “The Pajama Game” led by director Richard Marlow includes the always striking costumes of Uber designer Derik Shopinski, who rarely disappoints with color schemes and colorful costume designs. Another kudo also goes to Wig Designer Mado Nunez for the many styles worn by the female ensemble. Lighting Design is by J.W. Layne, with sound design by Sean Seymour.

“The Pajama Game” performs at the Palm Canyon Theatre, Palm Springs, and runs until March 15, 2020.
