Number 1 ranked Lydia Ko wins ANA Inspiration LPGA Golf Tournament 2016 Story and Photos by Pat Krause Lydia Ko won this year ANA Inspiration LPGA Golf Tournament at only 18-years old. She is the number one player on the tour and carries that title with grace and talent.

She said that jumping into Poppies Pond is the dream of

all players and was thrilled and hoped she made the jump in grand style after watching Abby Wambach jump in on Tuesday.

She thanked everyone and I think was concerned she might miss someone to thank. She said being there with her team was so special and surreal.

By Desert Star Staff With uncanny accuracy, the proverbial sh*t storm made landfall on Sunday as the German daily Süddeutschen Zeitung released the leaked documents, touted as the most prodigious dump of data in the history of data dumps. The papers unveiled the offshore assets of some 140 politicians and public servants all over the world, including 12 incumbent and former world leaders, but will not provide a glimpse into the life of the US political elite, as there’s no such information in the batch, Ryle confirmed.

SZ said it received the law firm’s documents a year ago from an anonymous source that “wanted neither

financial compensation nor anything else in return.”

The German paper obtained further documents in an investigation that followed, involving “400 journalists from more than 100 media organizations in over 80 countries.”

SZ said it decided to analyze the data in cooperation with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).

The data in the so-called Panama Papers, “provides rare insights into a world that can only exist in the shadows.

It proves how a global industry led by major banks, legal

There was a lot of drama on the course on the last day. Ariva Jutanugarn who placed 4th was leading by 2 strokes at one point but her lead dwindled after 3 bogies at the end. Former LPGA pro and golf announcer said that Ko has the kind of swing and

stroke every golfer would love to have. Ko made the win with a birdie on 18. Charley Hull and In Gee Chun tied for second place and made a valiant try for a win. Lexi Thompson made an eagle on 18 but it was a little too late for a charge to the leader board.

This was another exciting finish for the ANA Inspiration.

The tournament started with Dinah Shore and the trophy says, Dinah Shore Award.

ANA Footgolf Faceoff

Story and Photos by Pat Krause The ANA Inspiration LPGA Golf Tournament has started something new to give women’s golf a leg up to be one of the best in the LPGA golfing world. The ANA brought Olympic Gold medalists to the course on Tuesday before the Pro-am part of the tournament.

Four Gold medalists from various Olympic sports arrived to be a part of all the festivities.

The day started with LPGA Golfers Sandra Gal and Shanshan Feng along with Olympian Missy Franklin and LPGA veteran Amy Alcott talking about the upcoming Golf in the Olympics in August.

Amy Alcott was thrilled to be a part of the design of the course they will play in Rio De Janeiro. They wanted to make it a course that would challenge both men and women but not be a Tigerized course. The front nine would be longer and the back nine a little shorter. The

course would be a bit shorter for the women than the Dinah Shore course at Mission Hills.

Sandra Gal will represent Germany and Shanshan Feng will represent China. Missy Franklin, 5 times Golf medalist in swimming spoke about the thrill of being in the Olympics where millions of people are watching on TV and being able to compete for your country is such an incredible feeling.

Missy said that winning for all those that worked hard with you and those that supported you is so special. They are a part of all the hard work it took to get there. She told the women to be prepared for anything that might come up.

A special conference was held where Arianna Huffington spoke to the guests about the need for sleep and how it impacts our lives. She brought her book The Sleep Revolution for everyone. Olympian Julie Foudy emceed the next event

where Christy Kerr and Kristi Yamaguchi spoke about having it all, Motherhood, career and business.

Other speakers included LPGA pros Juli Inkster, Annika Sorenstam, Lydia Olympic Gold Medalists- Kristi Yamaguchi, Missy Franklin, Abby Wambach, Lindsey Vonn. Photo by Pat Krause Ko and Olympic Gold medalists Abby Wambach, Lindsey Vonn, Missy Franklin and Para Olympian Jessica Long who lost both her legs as a child and became a gold medalist in swimming.

The final part of the day was a new FOOTGOLF tournament where the Americans took on the Japanese kicking a soccer ball around the golf course and putting the soccer ball in LPGA pro, Sandra Gal, Olympian Missy Franklin, LPGA pros, Shanshan Feng and Amy Alcott. a large hole on specially built Photo by Pat Krause greens.

Story and Photos

by Pat Krause Over 700 people frolicked at the annual Street Party that is hosted

by Helene Galen and Jamie Kabler on Sunday night April 3rd. The Party is always held at The Galen Art Museum in Palm Desert off Hwy 111.

Guests are told to dress

casual and dress for fun. This is a fun Party that no one wants to miss. It’s all there and free to the invited guests.

Vendor trucks line a walkway giving away Lobster roll sandwiches, Slider Rueben’s, Pizzas, Hot dogs, polish sausages, all served with French fries or tater tots.

It was a warm night so the line was long waiting for an

ice cream cone or ice cream dish with toppings. There was popcorn and dishes full of cookies on the tables for Dessert if you didn’t want Ice Cream. Vendors were Deli Doctor, Pieros PizzaVino, King Kone, Cousins Maine Lobster, Me So Hungry, Westwood Catering and others. All this and entertainment too.

The group Nightshift from Citrus College is an amazing group of young musicians that had the guests either dancing on the dance floor or tapping their feet at their tables. This is a large group of wonderful singers, guitarists and other artists that are truly very talented. The party lasted 3 hours from 6 to 9. Guests came and went throughout the night but the area was always filled with people. Local political leaders and Mayors from several cities were present.

Helene and Jamie really know how to throw a party.

Interest Rates & Credit Approvals tighten as Banking Rules Change

By Janice Gough Now is the time to plan your credit future. If you are procrastinating on selling a property, obtaining a low interest loan for home improvements, wish to obtain an equity line of credit, purchase a new home or auto, or if you are overextended on credit cards which will have higher interests rates, now is the time to make those financial decisions before the rules begin to change.

prompt banks to only advance money to the best borrowers.

As with any financial regulation, however, the effects will start to be felt sooner than the implementation date. The new rules could trigger a tsunami of worldwide bankruptcies.

Starting from 2017 therefore, financial institutions will no longer be able to use their internal models to assess risk for derivative counterparties (the risk weighting attached to similar assets). These rules require banks to stop using their own internal measures to assess risk. By 2018, lenders will have to evaluate all of their loan clients based on standards set by a committee on banking supervision. The leverage ratio compares debt-to-equity, resulting in increased interest rates or not qualifying for a loan.

Two key rules are slated for 2018: The leverage ratio set by the International Financial Reporting Standard Board( IFRSB), sets a single set of high-quality, understandable, enforceable and globally accepted standards, based upon clear accounting and investment principles. IFRSB employs important safeguards that will promote sound levels of sound capital and comparability across banks.

IFRS 9, for instance, will require earlier recognition of expected credit losses, a move that according to some credit analysts could increase

nonperforming assets at some banks by as much as a third. As bad loans, or their recognition of being a potential one, will increase, so will capital requirements. In other words, it’ll be more expensive and difficult for banks to lend.

How banks account for risk will come into effect over the next two years. The regulations imposed after the global financial crisis of 2008, require banks to set aside more capital for every dollar they lend, depending on a borrower’s credit standing. The trouble is, global regulators left the decision on creditworthiness, mostly to the banks themselves. Studies found variations of as much as 20 percent between banks.

According to the proposed

rules, companies that have higher revenues and lower leverage will require less capital from banks, meaning banks will have an incentive to lend only to the biggest corporates with more established businesses. Smaller enterprises needing funds to increase sales will be out of luck.

Before that rule comes into force, however, the leverage ratio takes effect on Jan. 1, 2018. From then, banks will be required to limit how much their balance sheet is leveraged overall, effectively putting a hard cap on loan growth.

It’s increasingly difficult for banks to help spur global expansion, no matter how low or negative benchmark rates are. But it’s about to get a lot tougher. Banks will tighten their

belts and as they deleverage, so will the world. That means more bankruptcies, lay-offs and fewer jobs, which sounds very much like a recipe for a global crisis. The massively detailed banking legislation that was enacted after the last financial crisis has certainly created a lot of jobs for lawyers and compliance officers. Perhaps those two areas will be the only bright spots post 2018.

HOA Homefront – Neighboring Nuisance Issues

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL

Mr. Richardson: I own and live in a condo complex. Secondhand smoke from neighbors drifts through my unit even with windows closed. I have repeatedly told the smokers that smoke on the patio, that it bothers me and that it’s a nuisance and that keeps me from quiet enjoyment of my unit. I have asked the smokers to smoke away from the building. What rights do I have? What can I do to prevent secondhand smoke in my home?

M.B., San Diego Dear M. B.: Cities in California are increasingly imposing complete smoking bans in attached residences, such as in Pasadena, for example. An increasing number of associations are also adopting their own rules or restrictions on smoking.

Most CC&Rs already contain a general prohibition against activities which are

a nuisance to neighbors.

I really hate to see neighbors suing neighbors, and this is a great example of a situation in which internal dispute resolution processes may help.

Under Civil Code 5905, all associations are required to have a procedure by which neighbors can work out their disagreements directly, before they ripen into expensive and stressful legal matters.

Hopefully your neighbor and you can reach some compromises to help you both to live in peace.

Thanks, Kelly

Dear Kelly: What recourse does a common interest development have in rectifying prior illegal construction when a condo is sold? Our CC&Rs state no one above the first floor is to install anything other than carpeting in the living room and bedrooms. However, several owners covered their floors in tile or hardwood without going through the proper channels to even have the variance considered by our Architectural Committee or the board. Several of these units April 6, 2016

have since been sold without the situation being rectified.

Does the Board just ignore this infraction of the rules when it is brought to its attention?

One new owner wants to have hardwood floors replaced with a better quality of hardwood and asked for Board approval.

Can the Board refuse this request and order the new owner to put down carpeting?

J.C., Rancho Palos Verdes Dear J.C.: In wood frame multi-story buildings, some amount of noise is to be expected from upper neighbors, but if all developers had the foresight to ban hard floors above the first floor, it would reduce so many problems and disputes.

Your association is fortunate to have such a prohibition in CC&Rs. Either the association or an individual homeowner may enforce CC&Rs, under Civil Code 5975. Some associations have a hard floor ban only in their rules, and per Civil 5975(b), only associations can enforce rules.

Associations (or homeowners) have five years to sue for violation of covenants, under Code of

Civil Procedure 336(b). In the event the violation is not discovered until later, the running of this time limit might also start later, depending on the circumstances.

If someone bought a home with an existing violation of the CC&Rs, the association may still pursue the new owner (and the new owner may have a need to talk to their previous owner) to have the violation corrected.

The facts can change the application of the legal rules in this area, so the HOA’s legal counsel should be consulted for advice on this. Hopefully these general principles are helpful.

California Sees a Surge in IRS Tax Scams

By Desert Star Staff SAN FRANCISCO California has seen a huge surge in reports of threatening or aggressive phone scams in this income-tax filing season, according to experts with AARP’s Fraud Watch Network.

This year, the group is warning of several types of scams. In one version, a person will call and pretend to be from the Internal Revenue Service, and will sometimes begin to bully the consumer, demanding payment.

Amy Nofziger, a fraud expert with the AARP Fraud Watch Network, says the IRS will never call without having contacted the taxpayer first by mail, and will never threaten to involve the police, arrest you or deport you.

“The IRS will never require that you use a specific

payment method, such as a prepaid debit card, wire transfer, money order,” says Nofziger. “We’ve even heard of scammers asking for people to go and get gift cards.”

She says identity theft tends to spike this time of year when scammers use a person’s stolen birth date and Social Security number to try and intercept their income-tax refund.

Nofziger advises people to use a locked mailbox and never leave outgoing mail that contains personal information on it in the mailbox - instead, take it directly to the post office. And, beware what you leave in your trash can.

“Always shred your personal and private information,” says Nofziger.

“And use a confetti shredder, because there are people

“Quiet” Recreation Makes Big Impact on Calif. BLM Lands

By Desert Star Staff A new study commissioned by Pew Charitable Trusts shows about $329 million pour into California’s economy each year from so-called “quiet” recreation on Bureau of Land Management-managed lands.

It said pursuits such as camping, fishing, hiking and hunting mean tourists spend $244 million directly within 50 miles of BLM lands, and wages and benefits for more than 2,600 workers account for another $97 million.

Kristin Lee, project director of ECONorthwest, the firm that conducted the study for Pew Charitable Trusts, said that when you crunch the numbers for 11 western states plus Alaska, the impact to the nation’s economy is considerable.

“We found $2.8 billion

in total economic output,” she said. “We found $1.5 billion in value-added.

We found $799 million in employee compensation, and almost 25,000 jobs.”

The study found that in 2014, tourists made 38 million visits to BLM lands across the West to enjoy nonmotorized activities, or about 63 percent of all such visits.

Ken Rait, director of the U.S. Public Lands Program at Pew Charitable Trusts, said California’s Muir Woods and Devil’s Postpile, are just some of the huge draws for the state’s economy. He laments the more traditional view of BLM lands as places to be exploited for extractive industries, such as ranching, oil and gas, and mining.

“People visit Bureau of Land Management lands not to see pump jacks or

-- to create a smooth surface for folding and sorting.

Also, keep detergent and fabric softener in glass dispensers for a more decorative look. Lastly, paint the space a pretty, soothing color to give the room a refreshed feel and make it feel larger.

Paint an Accent Wall: For an easy, inexpensive

way to add drama to any room, paint an accent wall.

Perfect for highlighting a focal point, such as a fireplace or shelving unit, an accent wall commands attention.

According to celebrity designer Taniya Nayak, brightly colored walls or furniture, and bold, vibrant prints, are in style. So breathe new life into a room by incorporating these elements.

The key to painting is all in preparation, including washing down walls and taping around windows and baseboards. One of the most important tools you’ll need is a premium painter’s tape, like FrogTape brand painter’s tape. Treated with PaintBlock Technology, FrogTape MultiSurface and Delicate Surface painting tapes can be used on a variety of surfaces and deliver sharp paint lines for professional-looking results.

Enliven a Backsplash: In the kitchen, a few cans of paint will work wonders on walls, cabinets, a kitchen island and your backsplash.

Paint your backsplash a solid color, use a stencil, or even create the look of faux tiles using painter’s tape.

Consider the other colors in the room before settling on

the perfect shade. If cabinets are dark, choose a lighter shade for the backsplash to keep the room from feeling too heavy. If you have white or light-colored cabinets, a bright or darker paint provides contrast. For the finish, opt for a glossy sheen, as it’s more durable and easily wipes clean.

Rejuvenate Furniture: There are many quick, inexpensive ways to rejuvenate existing furniture. Seeing furniture in the same position every day gets boring. Swap pieces around to instantly redefine the space. Plus, you can use this opportunity to thoroughly clean those tough-to-reach spots.

A fresh coat of paint can also provide a powerful update to such furniture as stools, chairs, bookshelves and dressers. Whether it’s a piece you already own or a garage sale gem, adding a personal touch will create new dimension. Make it pop with eye-catching colors and unique hardware.

Remember, it doesn’t have to take months to make-over rooms in your home. You’ll be surprised what you can accomplish in one weekend. StatePoint

Restock Kids’ Bookshelves for the Season

By Desert Star Staff Great weather and reading go hand in hand. Whether poolside or on a family picnic, don’t forget to bring books for the kids to enjoy.

“It can be tempting to plop kids down in front of the television during downtime, but books are just as engaging and can be a lot more rewarding when shared together,” says Nancy Ellwood, Editorial Director at DK, a publisher of children’s and adult books.

For preschoolers, consider these titles.

Make Noise: Babies love reading with parents.

And infants especially love books that encourage them to make noise.

Guide babies in making fun, silly sounds with “Baby Cheep! Cheep!” Colorful pictures of favorite animals and rhyming text keep babies engaged and help them learn about the world around them.

Fluffy Bunny: With padded covers, simple images

and a range of textures, “Baby Touch and Feel: Bunny” is a great choice. Part of the classic “Touch and Feel” series designed to capture the attention of budding readers and t; the book’s textured format promotes sensory learning. Simple visuals and labels encourage recognition and naming of objects.

Hands-On Learning: Help preschoolers develop fine motor skills with “Follow the Trail: Farm.” The book encourages little ones to use their fingers to follow the shiny trails. DK’s new “Follow the Trail” series includes colorful photography and activities that teach children about shapes, sorting, and matching, as well as developing hand-eye coordination and pre-writing skills.

With trails that let toddlers circle the wheel of a tractor, explore around the farm, and connect farm animals and the products they give us, this title provides hands-on learning.

Educational Firsts:

Packed with information and eye-catching images, “My First Tractor” is part of the relaunch of the iconic “My First” series. This revamp includes updated photography, contemporary design, and a modern approach to engaging preschoolers – excellent for

reading alone or with an adult.

With clear labels and 16 spreads of tractor images, the book builds vocabulary and language skills. Kids also learn about different types of tractors and their uses. The book includes counting and color-matching activities.

More kids’ book ideas can be found at www.dk.com.

You can help foster a love of literature at a young age by providing children with great reading material all year long. StatePoint

By Desert Star Staff BOSTON - A Bostonbased children’s advocacy group says a video learning series is back at it again, making “unfounded claims” about infants’ ability to learn, even during the first 18 months in the crib.

Executive Director Josh Golin says his group, Campaign for a CommercialFree Childhood, first alerted the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to those claims in 2012.

He says the FTC imposed a $148 million judgment against Dr. Robert Titzer and his “Your Baby Can Read!” videos.

Golin says the company simply declared bankruptcy

and is back in business.

“The FTC said you can’t do that anymore, so all he did was he just changed the name of his product from ‘Your Baby Can Read!’ to ‘Your Baby Can Learn!’ - and he’s still selling the same digital snake oil,” Golin says.

The group filed a complaint with the FTC this week, asking the commission to enforce the earlier consent order.

On its website, “Your Baby Can Learn!” continues to defend its products, claiming it is one of the moststudied baby products in the world and that studies show no negative effects.

However, Golin says the

video series has a history of targeting low-income families with the promise of future success for their kids for a couple hundred dollars.

“And that’s heartbreaking, when you think about a parent thinking if they spend this money this product will give their child a leg-up,” he says.

“When, in fact, what we know is babies don’t learn anything from watching videos, let alone a complex skill like reading.”

Golin believes the videos are especially hurtful, because they take time away from what he calls the best thing parents can do - spend a few minutes a day reading to their children.

“Your Baby Still Can’t Read” Despite Product’s Claim

A Boston-based children’s advocacy group has filed a complaint against the “Your Baby Can Learn!” video collection, contending the company is making unproven claims.

Experience the beauty of this historic Twentynine Palms home while you enjoy the camaraderie of old and new friends, and perhaps even learn a little bit about the pairing of wines and cheeses.

Non-alcoholic beverages will also be served.

There will also be a silent auction of treasures you won’t be able to resist.

This event is to raise funds to help us to continue

HOROSCOPES ARIES

It’s most important to think about manners, being tactful and intentions for Right Relations instead of what we are taught – the usual competitiveness, lack of kindness, judgments, headstrongness and aggressiveness. Have conscious intentions to bring forth diplomacy. Allow your endeavors and daily activities to create spiritual resources that serve others. As you make all things new, make them harmonious, too.

TAURUS Your subconscious comes to life and all your assertive abilities go into hiding. In the deepest parts of yourself you become brave. You may remember things from the past that creates worry or anxiety.

New Federal Policies For Education Of Homeless Children

To Take Effect Next Year; Decision Impacts Every School District Nationwide

WASHINGTON, -- Today, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) announced that key policies related to homelessness in the recently enacted “Every Student Succeeds Act” (ESSA) will take effect on October 1, 2016, one school year earlier than other parts of the law. This decision means that revised policies and practices must be in place in school districts across the country to ensure the identification, enrollment, stability, and success of homeless children and youth.

Signed in December, the Every Student Succeeds Act replaced the No Child Left Behind Act; it also amended the McKinney-Vento Act (the federal education law that provides protections and services for homeless children and youth). The law included two conflicting effective dates for the McKinney-Vento Act amendments: July 1, 2016 and October 1, 2016.

Key components of the new law include:

DesertSTAR

• Designating appropriate school personnel with training to identify, enroll and support homeless students; • Increasing school stability for homeless children and youth, so they can stay in their same school throughout their homelessness when it is in their best interest to do so; • Improving graduation readiness by ensuring college counseling and access to documentation for financial aid; • Assisting young homeless children to access early childhood programs; and • Authorizing more funding to support school district efforts to identify and serve children and youth experiencing homelessness.

“Swift implementation of this law is essential to ensure that homeless children and youth receive the education that is their best hope of escaping poverty and homelessness as adults,” said Barbara Duffield, Policy and Program Director for

the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth (NAEHCY).

“These new policies represent best practices from states and school districts across the country, and we look forward to working with schools, communities, families, and April 6, 2016

youth to implement them.”

Public schools identified 1.3 million homeless children and youth in the 2013-2014 school year, according to U.S. Department of Education data. The data represent a 7% increase over the previous year, and a 100%

increase since 2006-2007.

NAEHCY is a national membership association dedicated to educational excellence for children and youth experiencing homelessness, from early childhood through postsecondary education. www.desertstarweekly.com

Dedication of Simi Dabah’s X marks the place

By Pam Price It’s much easier to locate the Cathedral City Public Library since the recent installation of an 18 X 22 foot sculpture, “X Marks the

event concludes at 7 PM. Josh Kunkle , Library Manager said, “It seems that since the Simi Dabah sculpture went up at the library we have seen an increase in attention and why not? There’s nothing like a giant “X” to mark the place for the adventure at the Library! The introduction of the All Valley Art Commission event on Cinco de Mayo is no exception either and we here at the Library are looking forward to letting everyone know that we are still the place to be for all things educational, cultural and artistically significant.” In addition, the All-Valley Arts Commissioners meeting takes place after the dedication with a panel discussion focused on each city’s Public Art Update. On the agenda is a presentation focused Public Arts & Tourism and the latest on the new California Desert Art’s Council featuring Jan Maguire, Film Arts and Entertainment

Whoopi Goldberg launches weed startup for women

By Sara Ashley O’Brien Actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg is the cofounder of a new medicinal marijuana startup that’s geared toward providing relief for women during that time of the month.

The company is called Whoopi & Maya, after Goldberg and her cofounder Maya Elisabeth, who’s been running medical marijuana company Om Edibles since 2008.

The women are launching four products to help relieve period cramps and discomfort. Sort of a “menstrual survival kit,” the products range from edibles, tinctures or liquid extracts, rubs and a bath soak. All are infused with cannabis.

“This was all inspired by my own experience from a lifetime of difficult

periods and the fact that cannabis was literally the only thing that gave me relief,” Goldberg said in a press release. She has previously professed her love for pot, writing about her relationship with her vape pen for The Cannabist two years ago.

Goldberg will serve as chairwoman of the startup, while Elisabeth, who is based in the Bay Area, will be CEO. According to Elisabeth, the products are designed to be “discreet.” The tincture, for instance, can be dropped into any beverage, or placed under the tongue. In the cacao, the cannabis flavor can’t be tasted, said Elisabeth.

These two products are psychoactive, meaning they may induce a marijuana high -- while the bath soak and rub are not. That doesn’t mean the bath soak isn’t without

effect, said Elisabeth. “You’ll be so relaxed, you’ll just go straight to bed,” she said.

The items will be available for purchase at select dispensaries in California starting next month, although the retail prices aren’t set yet.

Medical or recreational marijuana is legal in 23 states and the District of Columbia.

And it’s a growing industry for entrepreneurs to cash in on. It was estimated to be worth $5.4 billion in 2015, according to ArcView Group. In the last quarter of 2015, there were 29 deals in the space -- a record for the marijuana industry, according to CB Insights.

Whoopi & Maya has raised $650,000 in funding from friends and family.

Elisabeth -- who met Goldberg a year and a half ago -- said the products

aren’t just for those with menstrual discomfort.

“That’s one of the things that’s so beautiful about cannabis,” said Elisabeth,

noting that a lot of men have expressed interest in also using the products. “The side effects [of the products] are desirable.” Source KMIR

Although beauty secrets are often kept confidential, some are willing to pass on their tips to help others update their beauty routine.

Here are some beauty tips from the discount experts at Dollar General to help you look healthy, revitalized and ready for any special occasion without spending a fortune.

Hydrate: Never underestimate the effects of staying hydrated. Whether it’s a sports drink enhanced with electrolytes or a simple

bottle of distilled water, staying hydrated helps keep your skin wrinkle-free and gives your body energy throughout the day. Keep water readily available to ensure you always meet the recommended amount of consumption for your level of activity and the weather.

Protect Your Skin: To avoid exposing your skin to damaging sunlight, use sunscreen every time you head outdoors. Purchase both spray and cream-based

sunscreens for the entire family at major discount retailers like Dollar General, which offer affordable prices on this essential. Sunscreen can also help keep your skin radiant, while avoiding harmful sunrays.

Cleanse and Refresh: Cleansing your face every evening is just as important as getting ready for your day each morning. By removing any make-up or products off of your face before bed, you allow your skin a chance to recharge overnight in

preparation for the next day.

Always have makeup removal wipes on hand and invest in an exfoliating face wash to remove excess dirt and dead skin from your face.

Hail Caesar!

By Desert Star Staff UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., - When the world’s biggest movie star suddenly goes missing, it’s up to a studio fixer to rescue him in Hail Caesar!, a starstudded comedy featuring George Clooney, Channing Tatum, Scarlett Johansson, Jonah Hill, Josh Brolin, Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, Alden Ehrenreich, and Frances McDormand set in Hollywood’s Golden Age. This is the ingenious creation of four-time Oscar®winning filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men, Fargo). The comic whodunit pulls back the curtain to reveal the backstage humor and drama of the movie industry, and includes exclusive bonus features that take viewers behind the scenes of the film’s most inventive escapades.

Hail, Caesar! follows a single day in the life of Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), head of production and allaround problem solver for Hollywood studio Capitol Pictures. When Baird Whitlock (George Clooney), the world’s

biggest star, is kidnapped in the middle of production on the studio’s latest swordsand-sandals epic, Eddie will have to recover his leading man while simultaneously appeasing cowboy star Hobie Doyle (Alden Ehrenreich), disgruntled director Laurence Laurentz (Ralph Fiennes), swimming sensation DeeAnna Moran (Scarlett Johansson) and song-anddance superstar Burt Gurney (Channing Tatum), all while horse-trading information to keep his talents’ names out of the gossip columns written by a pair of rival siblings, Thora and Thessaly Thacker (Tilda Swinton).

The Coen Brothers have been making their mark on Hollywood for decades, creating acclaimed movies with their unmistakable brand of humor and unique storytelling style. As Joel and Ethan Coen discuss why they wanted to set their film in 1950s Hollywood, the allstar cast talks about working with this talented duo.

Who better to appear in a film about Golden Age Hollywood and its stars than

today’s biggest and brightest A-list talent? George Clooney, Channing Tatum, Scarlett Johansson, Jonah Hill, Josh Brolin, Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, Alden Ehrenreich, and Frances McDormand all join the Coen brothers in their Hollywood playground.

The cast shares what drew them to the project, the secrets of the unique and zany characters they play

and how the Hollywood of Hail, Caesar! differs from the Hollywood they know.

From the costumes to the sets, no details were spared in Hail, Caesar! and the production designer, costume designer and other key design professionals sit down to talk about how this exciting era was returned to the big screen.

Hail, Caesar! features

two classic-in-the-making musical numbers: an aquatic spectacle featuring Scarlett Johansson and a rousing tap dance from Channing Tatum.

The cast and crew explain the process of bringing these scenes to life, from costumes to choreography and everything in between.

BY THEDA KLEINHANS REICHMAN

Dance at the Music Center are available online at musiccenter. org/1516dance or by calling (213) 972-0711. Single tickets for Complexions Contemporary Ballet start at $34 and are available at the Music Center’s Dorothy Chandler Pavilion Box Office at 135 N. Grand Ave. in downtown L.A.

••••••••••••••

It’s April and spring is in the air. It’s a time when we feel light and cheerful, with a spring in our steps and in our spirits. And even if we can’t dance, now is the time for us to enjoy dance on stage at both the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and the Valley Performing Arts Center (VPAC) in the San Fernando Valley.

On Friday April 15 through Sunday April 17, Glorya Kaufman will showcase works

by Complexions Contemporary Ballet with choreography honoring Maya Angelou in connection with National Poetry Month. Complexions, a dance company that focuses on reinventing dance with an emphasis on the aesthetic appeal of performances that celebrate the similarities and differences of a multicultural nation, is under the artistic direction of Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson. Both men have been hailed by the New York Times as “...two of

the greatest virtuosos ever to emerge from Ailey land” and in their upcoming works at the Music Center they will present compelling dance contrasts ranging from classic-style ballet en pointe to contemporary ballet with a multicultural cast of 14 dancers trained in both classical and contemporary dance. This engagement will honor the legacy of Maya Angelou as well as featuring a tribute to the universal sounds of Stevie Wonder.

Rachel Moore, president and CEO of the Music Center, praises the company for their risk-taking and innovation.

According to Moore, “As artists, Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson are dedicated to delivering transformative work that is rooted in diversity.

Both men have committed themselves to what they call a world without boundary.”

Their repertory for their engagement at the Dorothy Chandler will feature “Ballet

Uno,” set to music by Johann Sebastian Bach and “Gone,” with music by Odetta, In “Gone” three men explore states of destitution, loneliness and hopelessness, only to find in each other the will to survive through camaraderie and brotherhood. “Cryin’ to Cry Out” is set to the music of Jimmy Scott, and “Choke” performed to Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons”/ summer section, is a duet for two men that highlights opposing qualities and competitive energies. “Testament,” set to “Amazing Grace” explores the tension of spiritualism within the context of faith and devotion. “Imprint Maya,” music by David Rosenblatt, is a salute to author, poet, civil rights activist Maya Angelou and “Innervision,” with music by Stevie Wonder, is a celebration of Wonder’s singular, distinctive musical sound.

On Saturday, April 16, the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet (ASFB) will celebrate their 20th anniversary at the Valley Performing Arts Center (VPAC) with a program of new works that commemorate the company’s commitment to pushing the boundaries

MOVIE

Jake Gyllenhall Gives A Spellbinding Performance in “DEMOLITION”

If Jake Gyllenhaal has a starring role in a film, you can pretty much count on a sterling performance. His role as Davis Mitchell in DEMOLITION once again secures his spot as one of Hollywood’s most gifted young actors.

With an excellent screenplay by Bryan Sipe and

spot-on direction by Jean-Marc Vallée, this is a compelling story of a young widower’s efforts to come to grips with his profound loss. Davis, a successful investment banker who works for his sympathetic father-in-law, wonderfully brought to life by Chris Cooper, is in a tragic car accident

with his wife Julia, played by Heather Lind. She dies but he doesn’t even have a scratch.

While in the hospital waiting to hear about his wife’s condition, he puts some coins in a vending machine, which fails to deliver his selection. Outraged, he begins by sending a letter

of complaint to the vending machine company. One letter turns into a series of deeply personal, heartbreaking letters that are read by the customer service representative Karen, sensitively played by Naomi Watts, who has emotional and financial challenges of her own. An usual friendship evolves, which includes her young son Chris, played by Judah Lewis, who delivers an excellent performance in his first screen role.

In trying to make sense out of his loss, and to unlock his frozen emotions, Davis begins dismantling small gadgets in his beautiful home to see how they work. Little by little he tears apart everything around him – with each object growing bigger and bigger in size. Let’s just say at one point he actually needs a bulldozer. Perhaps if he destroys his material world, he will be able to heal his broken psyche and start a new life.

Gyllenhall’s performance

By Desert Star Staff Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are preparing for the worst as their challengers, Senators Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz, walk into the Badger State as the odds-on favorites. The future shape of the presidential primaries rests on the voters of Wisconsin.

Super Tuesday is long gone, and it seems as though April 5 could end up having more impact on the 2016 race than March 1 did when over a dozen states voted.

In Wisconsin, where voters will drop ballots from 7am to 8pm, the goal for all presidential candidates isn’t necessarily to rack up more delegates, although that would be nice. The greater prize has to do with momentum, a sense of overcoming the odds to emerge a new victor or otherwise to solidify unstoppable dominance.

With the April 19 New York primary around the corner, the Brooklyn-born senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, could really use a Wisconsin victory boost to compete with the former New York senator Hillary Clinton.

Clinton has 1,243 delegates to Sanders’ 980, a big difference when considering 2,383 is the finish line, and many of those are superdelegates, elite loyalists to the Democratic Party and, consequently, loyalists to the front-runner.

Sanders stands to make

a dent in that lead tonight.

Winning Wisconsin would mean the self-described democratic socialist had been victorious in the last six of seven contests.

The Real Clear Politics average, an accumulation of seven polls in the last 13 days, has Sanders up, 47.9 percent to Clinton’s 45.3 percent.

In Wisconsin, there are 86 delegates and 10 superdelegates at play. Of the 86 delegates, 57 are distributed by proportion to the vote in the state’s eight congressional districts, while the other 29 will go to the winner of the state overall.

Clinton may already be bracing for a Wisconsin loss as she was campaigning in New York on Monday, although her target wasn’t Sanders. It was Trump, and already in general election mode, the former secretary of state attacked his position on the minimum wage.

“I don’t know what the calculation is by Trump and others but I’ll tell you this: They are selling Americans short,” Clinton said, Reuters reported.

The other big challenge for Sanders tonight could be with the state’s voter ID law.

Out-of-state college students won’t be able to vote with only a college ID, but have to provide a recent tuition bill, while in-state students can use a driver’s license and utility bill. Sanders has fared well with young voters, and the polls are close enough that they, or the voter ID law,

could make all the difference.

With 42 delegates at stake, Senator Ted Cruz is polling well enough to potentially fundamentally alter billionaire businessman Donald Trump’s mathematical path to the nomination. Of those 42, 24 will be rewarded based on placement in congressional districts, while the remaining batch will go to the overall winner.

In order to secure the GOP presidential nomination, a candidate must attain at least 1,237 delegates. Going into Wisconsin, Trump has 737, Cruz has 475, and the stubborn and/or committed

Ohio Governor John Kasich has 143. With just 930 delegates left at play, Kasich’s only shot is at an open convention, also known as a brokered convention, where even a surprise fourth name could be introduced as a nominee.

Trump campaigned in La Crosse, Wisconsin, where he predicted a “very, very big victory,” but he must have received advice, possibly from himself, to tone down the hype. At a following event, he said, “if we don’t win here, it’s not over, but wouldn’t you like to take the credit, in Wisconsin, for ending it?”

“And then we can focus

is mesmerizing as he embarks on his quest to find what makes him emotionally tick.

Ironically, with the support of Karen and her son, as he destroys everything in his home and office, he begins to move closer and closer to unlocking his tormented interior and to beginning life anew.

DEMOLITION is a physiological drama that journeys through the sub-conscious behavior of a man paralyzed by unexpressed grief and the attendant effect it has on the family and friends in his life.

on Hillary instead of these two guys,” Trump added. The front-runner has also played on themes of being up against an unfair system, helmed by the media, former presidential candidate Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and his endorsed choice, Cruz.

Cruz, for his part, is playing up his leadership bona fides, telling a Madison crowd, “What we’re seeing is the party unifying behind our campaign.”

The Real Clear Politics average has Cruz leading by 4.1 points. Trump polls at 34.9 percent to Cruz’s 39 percent. Kasich has about 19.6 percent in the polls.

Broad Coalition Defends EPA’s Clean Power Plan in Federal Court

By Desert Star Staff DENVER - Faith leaders, elected officials, public health experts and environmental advocates have filed statements in support of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is considering a case brought by industry groups and 27 state attorneys general, including Colorado’s Cynthia Coffman, to block the measure.

Janice Nolen, assistant vice president for national policy, with the American Lung Association says the new rules are critical to addressing climate change.

“The Clean Power Plan is a landmark step to really address climate change as a nation,” says Nolen. “We’ve been doing little things here and there but this is a really comprehensive look at trying to reduce carbon pollution from the biggest human-made source, which are the power plants.”

Governor John Hickenlooper has come out in favor of the plan. Opponents claim power plants would have to make big investments to comply with rules that might be overturned, depending on the outcome of the next election.

The federal appeals court is expected to rule on the case later this year.

According to the EPA, the plan will produce up to $54 billion in climate and health benefits each year by 2030, and will prevent 3,600 premature deaths and 90,000 asthma attacks.

James Crooks, assistant professor with National Jewish Health in Denver, notes communities who live closest to the sources of climate pollution are most at risk.

“The health impacts of power-plant emissions and climate change are likely to fall disproportionately on those among us least able to endure them,” says Crooks.

“Children and the elderly, those living in poverty or

A broad coalition is stepping up in defense of the EPA’s Clean Power Plan. (Pixabay) suffering from illness; and communities of color.”

Ron Busby, president and CEO for the U.S. Black Chambers Incorporated, says small businesses that drive the nation’s economy depend on healthy environments. He says the Clean Power Plan will lead

to safer energy development, reduce pollution, and create new clean-energy jobs.

“We’ve been having this conversation now, literally, for over a decade,” says Busby.

“This is the only Earth that we have and we want to make sure that our children,

grandchildren and great grandchildren have the same opportunity to be able to have a good lifestyle here.”

The plan calls for reducing emissions from existing coal-fired power plants by 32 percent below their 2005 levels by 2030.

MUSIC Musical veterans and indie supergroup excel anew

BY ROBERT KINSLER

Cheap Trick, Pet Shop Boys and Willie Nile have returned with exceptional albums, while indie rock supergroup East of Venue amazes via a sterling debut.

Artist: Cheap Trick Title: Bang, Zoom, Crazy…

Hello (Big Machine Records) You might like if you enjoy: Big Star, Cheap Trick, The Move Tell me more: Cheap Trick’s highly-anticipated return is not limited to the band’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this week.

The quartet’s first new fulllength studio since 2009, “Bang, Zoom, Crazy…Hello” is a bona fide triumph filled with the band’s characteristic brand of high-octane melodic rock. The driving “Heart on the Line” kicks off the 11-track disc and that powerful gem sets the tone on a disc that boasts some of the rockers’

best songs in memory; the tuneful “No Direction Home” is bolstered by little psychedelic touches and scorching guitar work from Rick Nielsen; the melodically explosive “Sing My Blues Away,” sardonic rocker “The In Crowd” and beatlesque “The Sun Never Sets” also impress. The highlight on the album is “When I Wake Up Tomorrow,” a melancholiadrenched original that bridges Cheap Trick’s power-pop instincts with the sonic territory explored by David Bowie in “Heroes.” Cheap Trick remains one of America’s great music treasures.

keyboards, guitar) and Chris Lowe (keyboards, backing vocals) have a knack for crafting infectious and bouncy synth pop that sounds as good in 2016 as it did when they embarked on their musical journey in 1981. The newlyreleased “Super,” the duo’s follow-up to their excellent 2013 album “Electric,” is filled with driving rhythms and memorable hooks that could fuel any dance club. The aptly-named “Happiness,” lush “The Pop Kids” (an evocative tale of their early days in London), propulsive “Burn” and more insightful “The Dictator Decides” are among the many tracks on the dozen-song set that deliver the Pet Shop Boys’ wonderfully contagious sound with artistry aplenty. Information: petshopboys.co.uk.

You might like if you enjoy: Bruce Springsteen, Nils Lofgren, Lou Reed Tell me more: On veteran singer-songwriter Willie Nile’s latest “World War Willie,” the New York-based rocker masterfully blends American heartland instincts with postpunk power in the service of hard hitting original rock. On “World War Willie,” Nile seeks to inspire those on society’s outskirts (notably on the sing-along “Let’s All Come Together,” Springsteen-styled “Trouble Down in Diamond Town” and beautiful “Runaway Girl”) and offers up the most heartfelt of ballads (“Beautiful You”), but also flat out rocks (as evidenced by “Forever Wild” and the rockabilly-mining “Hell Yeah”). He also honors the memory of Levon Helm (The Band singer-drummer lost his battle with cancer in April 2012) via the country-tinged “When Levon Sings.” The album closes with an electrifying cover of “Sweet Jane,” a tribute to the late Lou Reed who Nile met 10 days before the former Velvet Underground frontman died in October 2013.

By Desert Star Staff Rancho Mirage, CA - The Desert Rose Playhouse, the Valley’s LGBT stage company, will the World Premiere of a new musical JUNK by Michael Penny, opening Friday, April 29, 2016 for a five-week run. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 PM and Sundays at 2 PM, through May 29, 2016.

JUNK is about two gay

men, one younger, one older.

They have been offered the contents of the North Carolina cabin of a recently deceased man in exchange for cleaning it up so that the house might be put on the market. It turns out that this house is stuffed from attic to cellar with the man’s massive collection of old porn... and very little else. But as the two sort through this man’s belongings... something of his character begins to emerge... and in turn, something of their own characters as well... their unusual relationship to one

another... and what it means to be an individual. A delightfully funny and touching look at a gay generation gap with book, music and lyrics by a bright voice in LGBT Musical Theatre!

The cast features Jim Strait and Robbie Wayne and is directed by Steve Fisher. Joel Baker is Musical Director and Accompanist.

Tom Valach designs the set, and Phil Murphy is the Lighting Designer.

The Desert Rose Playhouse is a project of Desert Rose Productions,

Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit corporation.

JUNK continues Desert Rose Productions’ mission to produce and present literate, relevant and entertaining plays and musicals to LGBT and Gay-Friendly theatregoers in the Coachella Valley.

Tickets are $33 for evening performances; $30 for matinees, and are available for purchase starting Friday, April 8, 2016. To order go online at www.desertroseplayhouse. org or call 760-202-3000.

By Desert Star Staff Palm Springs, Calif., – The angelic voices of ALTAR BOYZ take to the Palm Canyon Theatre stage for one weekend only, April 8-10. The musical comedy follows the fate and faith of five smalltown boys as they rise from bingo hall fame to a national “Raise the Praise” tour.

The Christian group has everything you’d expect from a boy band… Matthew, played by Nicholas Sloan,

is the heartthrob leader of the group. Mark, played by Alex Keane, is the seemingly obvious effeminate one, but no one seems to notice.

Juan, played by Charlie Bostick, is the Latin lover; the ethnic member of the group.

Luke, played by Jospeh Paul Rykert, is the bad boy.

And, then there’s Abraham, played by Scott Clinkscales; he’s the Jewish one!

The boyz have it all – tight harmonies and cool

choreography. And, they are saving the world one screaming fan at a time with hits like, “Girl You Make Me Wanna Wait” and “Jesus Called Me On My Cell Phone.”

At the end of their big tour, the boyz begin to question whether or not faith is really holding them together.

With a heartfelt book

by Kevin Del Aguila, and music and lyrics by Gary Adler and Michael Patrick Walker, Altar Boyz inevitably

delivers a message of unity.

Altar Boyz at the Palm Canyon Theatre is directed and choreographed by Nicholas Sloan with musical direction by Donald Kelly.

Altar Boyz runs Friday, April 8 and Saturday, April 9, starting at 8 p.m. Sunday, April 10 the matinee starts at 2 p.m. Tickets are $29.50. Student tickets are $15, with valid ID; student tickets must be purchased at the Box Office.

With the sudden death of Carlucci, only 58, in late 2015, “Memory Box” stands as an enduring monument to his talents. The jangling “Let’s Find A Way,” shimmering “Faded Pictures,” folk rocker “Dallas” and Americanastyled cover of Tim Hardin’s “Reason To Believe” are among the amazing entries on the 10-song LP. “Memory Box” (set for release on April 15, 2016) will be available on audio CD, digital and clear vinyl.

Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $101,740.51. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 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 00000005609532. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

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.

Iceland PM resigns following Panama Papers leak

By Desert Star Staff Icelandic Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson has been seen running from the country’s parliament, with some reports suggesting the politician has resigned.

The PM held a meeting at the parliament on Tuesday, where he announced his decision, local media reported.

The resignation still needs the approval of his coalition Independence Party and President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson.

The news of the PM’s departure was delivered to the press by Minister of Agriculture and Fishing Sigurour Ingi Johannsson, who is reportedly in line to take over the position, according to the Financial Times.

Gunnlaugsson first tried to seek the dissolution of parliament, but President Grimsson turned down his request.

The Icelandic politician is believed to be the first victim of the massive offshore holdings leak known as the Panama Papers. According to the

Thousands of people took to the streets in the capital Reykjavik on Monday, demanding impeachment and new elections. The protest in front of the parliament was said to be the biggest in the country’s history, with more mass demonstrations having been planned for later on Tuesday.

Earlier on Monday, Gunnlaugsson told the parliament he would not resign

amid the protests linked to his alleged financial affairs, which potentially represent a conflict of interest.

“I have not considered quitting because of this matter nor am I going to quit because of this matter,” the PM told parliament, as quoted by AP. The defiant politician then added that his government “has had good results... and it is important that [it] can finish its work.”

CA Advocates Cheer “One Person One Vote” Decision

By Desert Star Staff SAN FRANCISCO Voting-rights advocates are celebrating Monday’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to reaffirm the concept of “one person, one vote,” rejecting attempts to change the way state legislative districts are drawn.

In the case, Evenwel v.

Feng warns that urban areas, with more nonvoters like children and immigrants, would be shortchanged if districts are drawn based on numbers of voters.

“Those people who are most commonly registered don’t represent the population as a whole,” she says. “They do tend to be people who are homeowners, who are more educated, who are white.”

Governor Brown Signs New Minimum Wage Law

By KMIR News Staff Los Angeles, Ca. -In front of a boisterous downtown Los Angeles crowd of legislator, union leaders and workers who have been fighting for increased salaries, Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation today that will raise the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2022.

Brown, during a ceremony at the Ronald Reagan State Building, said the passage of SB 3 doesn’t mark the end of the struggle for livable wages, but it’s a big step in the right direction. ``It’s about people,’’ Brown said. ``It’s about creating a little tiny balance in a system that every day becomes more unbalanced.’’

The state Assembly and Senate both approved the legislation Thursday, despite opposition from Republicans and business leaders.

Under the legislation, California’s $10-an-hour minimum wage will increase to $10.50 in January 2017, then to $11 on Jan. 1, 2018. The minimum wage will then go up by a dollar in each of the following years until it reaches $15 in 2022, after which it will continue to rise each year by up to 3.5 percent to account for inflation.

Businesses with 25 or fewer employees get an extra year to raise their wage, so that workers will be paid $15 by 2023.

The plan also gives the governor the ability to temporarily halt the raises if there is a forecasted budget deficit of more than one percent of annual revenue, or due to poor economic conditions such as declines in jobs and retail sales.

Government workers who provide in-home health services will receive an additional three paid sick days under the plan. ``Today we’re not just witnessing the signing of a bill, we’re witnessing the honoring of our social contract -- specifically that, if you get a job and work hard, you will be able to support family,’’ Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Paramount, said. ``For too long, that just hasn’t been the reality Many Californians who work full

time can’t put a roof over their families’ heads or put meals on their table. This bill changes that for tens of thousands of Californians.’’

The wage hike will affect 5.6 million workers, or about one-third of the statewide workforce, officials said. ``Today California leads the nation once again, passing a historic minimum wage increase that will help lift millions of hardworking men and women out of poverty,’’ Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said. ``Last year, I led efforts to raise the wage in Los Angeles, and we watched a wave of cities follow suit. We are fighting against income inequality with every tool we have.’’

Other California cities have also enacted wage increases, some even earlier than Los Angeles.

San Jose’s wage rose to $10.30 per hour in Jan. 1, 2015, and is set to continue climbing depending on the CPI. San Francisco’s minimum hourly wage, now at $12.25, will go up to $13 on July 1 and to $15 in 2018, followed by further increases based on CPI, under a measure approved by that city’s voters in 2014.

Republicans and business leaders opposed the statewide minimum-wage hike, arguing it will lead to businesses reducing the size of their work force or increasing prices to cover the costs of the increased wages. ``This bill will add to the challenges that include recent Affordable Care Act mandates, recent minimum wage increases, new mandatory paid sick leave and increases in workers’ compensation,’’ Assemblyman Bill Brough, R-Dana Point, said. ``Small business workers’ compensation is based on payroll. As payroll increases so does workers’ comp. This isn’t even considering local permits and other regulatory agencies small businesses have to comply with.’’

But supporters, primarily Democrats, rallied behind the proposal, saying workers earning minimum wage should be able to pay for basic necessities.

``Wages are not keeping pace with the cost of living in California. Income inequality continues to grow,’’ said Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, D-San Diego. ``This proposal will help millions of hard-working Californians while protecting taxpayers and small businesses if the economy experiences a downturn. We can be prudent and make sure workers are paid a reasonable, livable

Labor unions are pushing two separate ballot initiatives aimed at raising the state’s minimum wage to $15 an hour. Backers of one of the initiatives have said they will drop their effort in light of the new law.
