The speaker’s series was held at the Renaissance Resort and Spa in Indian Wells on Jan. 19th. Brian Harnik, President of the Board, served as moderator with questions from the audience. Mitt Romney spoke for about half an hour and did the Q&A for the next half hour. This is the 23rd season of Desert Town Hall, and Mr. Harnik thanked founder Lois Horwitz.

Mitt Romney initial spoke

to about 100 students at the Youth Town Hall prior to his dialogue to over 800 guests in the Emerald Ballroom. Student Jackson Lindley introduced the first speaker Mr. Arthur Kimball, who gave a 15-minute speech prior to Mr. Romney’s appearance. Julio Mendez from Desert Mirage High School from Thermal was the lucky honoree to introduce Mitt Romney to the students and Town-Hall Sponsors. His speech to the students was different than the one he gave to the adults and related more to the young as they make their way into the world. Students Lindley and Mendez are Youth Ambassadors

from their respective high schools. Students were attired in suits and ties, and the girls wore gowns, which showed a sign of respect for the event.

About 20 students stood with questions for Mr. Romney, but only 5 or 6 got to ask him questions because of the time frame of the night. Mr. Romney spoke about how he accumulated his wealth as an investor in the stock market. He told them that being successful didn’t mean a lot of money, but it was how they lived their lives.

He said it was doing his best as a husband and father

d n e E k v e e nt Sum Up e W OLD TOWN ARTISAN GALA

Story and Photo by Pat Krause The Old Town Artisan Studio held its Hearts for Art Gala on January 17th at the LaQuinta Resort and Club Fiesta Ballroom. The theme for the night was Hooray for Hollywood with tables set with photos of famous actors and actresses. Several hundred guests enjoyed the entertainment from Impressionist singers and actors who portrayed iconic names in show business. Bella da Ball dressed in a fabulous green garment introduced each artist. They impersonated Frank Sinatra with the songNew York, New York, and Dean Martin with Amore. Other entertainers did impressions of Carol Channing singing Hello Dolly and Marilyn Monroe’s

singing Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend. Even a Groucho Marx impersonator got into the act.

Columnist and TV personality Gloria Greer was honored for her commitment to the Arts. Gloria was unable to attend, but her daughter Norma Fishkind accepted the award for her mother, which was a small glass red heart inscribed, Gloria Greer Hearts for Art’s honoree, 2015. The Rancho Mirage High Schools Chorus also entertained with the song proud to be an American, who was all part of the cabaret show. Dan McGrath served as Emcee and Jay Fiske was the auctioneer for the live auction of 13 grand items, many contributed by generous local people as their

donation for the ARTS. Old Town Artisan Studio is a non-profit organization that brings ART to children who otherwise might not have access to the many forms of Art. The programs go mobile to many schools where Mecca has the most impoverished families. Kids can create something to be proud of and Old Town Artisan Studio provides the materials and the volunteer staff. They provide the gift of appreciation of the arts with hands-on experience that will continue through their lives. Videos were shown of children working with ceramics and glass. They work with all people regardless of age, disability or are financially disadvantaged.

CANCER RESEARCH DONE IN ISRAEL Story and Photo by Pat Krause The Israel Cancer Research Fund held a luncheon to announce the new ICRF chapter in the Coachella Valley... Co-chairs Co-chairs Dr. Jeralynn Brossfield, Patrick Mundt and Lulu’s owner Jerry Keller for the luncheon were Patrick Mundt and Dr. Jeralyn Brossfield. Honorary co-chairs were Harold Matzner with Jerry and Barbara Keller. The luncheon was hosted by Jerry and Barbara Keller, owners of LULU’s California Bistro, where the sit-down luncheon was held Scott Milanovich, Melissa Milanovich, Harold Matzner, Tristan Milanovich and Patrick Mundt on the second floor

of the Restaurant.

The guest’s speaker was Andrew Faas that came all the way from Palm Beach, FL to speak to the guests about his diagnosis and survival from Cancer. He was told he had leukemia in 2005 and felt like he had gotten a death sentence.

He took the drug Gleevec.

T h ro u g h t h e re s e a rc h conducted by the Israel Cancer research fund, they found a drug, Gleevec, that is a treatment for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia and a rare form of stomach cancer.

Cancer research done in Israel is more cost-effective as research costs about one 5th

less than in the U.S. 80% of all monies for ICRF comes from donations.

Their research and findings on the war against Cancer help all mankind around the globe. This is the 40th anniversary of ICRF, and they have provided more than 2100 grants for research-52 million dollars. Discoveries by ICRF funded scientists have made breakthroughs in the understanding and treatment of the many forms of Cancer.

Gleevec is one of the miracle drugs they created. 100% of awarded funds go directly to the scientists in Israel, who have made a huge impact in the fight against Cancer.

THE BARBARA SINATRA CHILDREN’S CENTER. Story and Photo by Pat Krause The Annual Champion Honors Luncheon was held on January 14th to benefit the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center. Over 800 people attended this luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort and Spa. The Honoree was Wells Fargo Vice President Gary Hall. Hall gave a very emotional speech telling about his abusive childhood and wondered if there had been a children’s Center what his life would have been like.

His mother and siblings might have been able to get the help they needed so they would not end up with all the emotional scars from the abuse that they carried into adulthood.

Everyone was so excited to see the iconic Baseball player; Willie Mays. Guests were treated to videos of Willie Mays in action. Original black-and-white films were

shown of Willie in his heyday playing baseball. Number 24 was evident on shirts worn by volunteers. A special VIP room was set up for sponsors of the event to meet Willie Mays and get an autographed ball that he handed them. Barbara Sinatra made an appearance to greet Mr. Mays who said he wanted to be a part of this special event.

The highlight was when Marty Lurie emceed a conversation with Mr. Mays.

This intimate and informal interview held many interesting facts about the life of Willie Mays. He started playing professionally at age 16 and made history with his abilities as an exceptionally talented baseball player. He has a really fun sense of humor and had the audience laughing many times during the conversation. Willie seemed so at ease on stage and enjoyed the questions

asked by Mr. Lurie. This was a big thrill for fans and baseball lovers to see this fabulous man speak so candidly about his life.

The Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center treats, and councils emotionally, sexually and physically abused children of all ages; some are just babies. The center provides a safe haven, so they can get the help they need free of charge.

Frank and Barbara Sinatra started the Center years ago and have helped over 20,000 children so far. The event was to encourage people to either sign up or renew their commitment to be aunts and uncles for the center with their donations. I am sure that Gary Hall’s touching speech and Willie Mays emotional interview got a few more people to sign up to be a sponsoring part of this much-needed Children’s Center.

rivalry never really goes away; it just goes underground. And when it resurfaces in adulthood over the care of aging parents, the stakes are much higher... than who has the best report card or plays with the favorite toy. Adult children often engage in “pre-emptive grief” when they see their parents decline.

When siblings process this grief differently, it can lead to disagreement. Eventually, just recognizing this as an issue can help siblings understand one another better.

Friends and relatives provide an annual $522 billion in informal care for elderly Americans. Often, adult siblings split the care of aging parents. Shared-care arrangement proceeds smoothly at times. However, more often.

It doesn’t. This is a serious, serious problem and could end with children carrying their hate of one another into eternity.

As with other aspects of sibling rivalry, proactive moves by parents today can help mitigate future discord. Parents can help by clearly communicating their wishes about where and how they would like to live in older age. By discussing any end-oflife medical treatments a parent may want or may refuse and what preferences of funeral arrangements they wish, can help their children provide their wishes and have less room to disagree when the time comes.

Another way parents can help is through careful consideration of whom to name as agents under power of attorney. A financial agent will make monetary transactions on behalf of a person who can no longer act for him, while a medical agent will make medical decisions. It is important to appoint separate people to make these decisions. Not every person is good at managing financial matters. Avoid those who tend

to be procrastinators. This can create a recipe for discord and paralysis. Avoid naming coagents that must agree before they can act. Instead, parents can name a primary agent and a secondary agent to act if the primary is no longer able to fulfill her duties.

Parents should also consider practicalities. Generally, the child providing the hands-on care should have access to funds. If parents name their geographically distant daughter the agent with a financial power of attorney since she works for a bank, they’re complicating matters for the local daughter who tends to their daily needs.

However, even with the best-laid plans, some degree of disagreement is inevitable when it comes to caring for aging parents (and, of course, parents may not have the foresight or the opportunity to make those plans). It’s difficult to watch a parent grow old and frail. The stress can be compounded when siblings unconsciously fall back into their childhood roles.

Here are some ways adult children can address conflict.

Communicate with siblings early and often. Your communication is a way of planting a seed that may grow into acceptance over a series of conversations, There’s a general perception that caregiving responsibilities should be split equally among siblings...

Yet it’s nearly impossible to split duties 50/50, or 25/25/25/25.

For that matter, and a perfectly equitable burden should not necessarily be the goal.

Retirement reporter While the division needsn’t to be even, it should be as deliberate as possible. Too often, adult children fall into their various care giving roles by default, and that can lead to resentment and burnout.

Instead, siblings should talk

early—ideally, before the need arises—about the duties, each is willing and able to take on. It’s best, if possible, for the duties to play to each person’s individual strengths and interests.

If one sibling takes on a disproportionate share of the hands-on care, the others can make sure the primary caregiver is supported. Some ways to do this include coordinating respite care to give the person a break and handling tasks that can be done remotely, such as online bill paying and communicating with the insurance company.

Many siblings also band together and pay the primary caregiver to help supplement lost wages and affirm the person’s effort on the family’s behalf. Consult an elder law attorney and an accountant over the tax and other considerations of paying a family member.

While parents should be consulted on matters of their care, children may have to circumvent those who are resisting help and are at risk of hurting themselves or others.

The issue of taking away driving privileges can present a lot of resistance by a parent, and, certainly giving up their freedom of living alone.

It can be hard for siblings with a long history to stay focused on their parents’ needs.

It’s all too easy for discussions to get derailed by old, unrelated baggage. A group conference call can be made more effectively, by setting some ground rules before the call or when meeting personally to discuss a parent’s care. Set an agenda and distribute it beforehand. Until you define the problem, it’s hard to come up with the best solution. One sibling can take notes during the meeting; send out a follow-up email after the call or meeting, with a summary of the points discussed and

agreements reached. It is difficult for siblings to stay on track during the discussion. Agree to allow each person 3 minutes to share their view for each agenda item. When a sibling has trouble communicating effectively, ask them to write down their thoughts to share with the others.

Instead of expecting a parent to agree to a new plan on the spot, think of that first talk as a way of planting a seed that could grow into acceptance over a series of conversations.

Your ideas will be more warmly accepted by talking with the parent about various options of care, and express their feelings of which they would prefer.

When siblings disagree over what the parent needs are, they should consider bringing in a third party to help. Many elderly people have good days and bad days, and certain strengths despite their declining functioning.

Geriatric-care managers can provide an objective assessment of an senior person’s situation and help address the resources available to meet them. Care managers can also smooth relations between siblings.

When siblings have very different perceptions of a parent’s needs, the care manager might reassure them that it’s not a matter of one being right and the other wrong.

5 Myths About Losing Weight This Year

By Desert Star Staff More than a third of adults in the United States, 35.1 percent, are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Nearly 70 percent are at least overweight, and obesity in adolescents has quadrupled in the past three decades.

“Despite all the attention, an unhealthy amount of body fat remains an insidious problem,” says Dr. Eleazar Kadile, who specializes in treating patients with obesity and associated chronic disease.

“Most of us know we’re facing a national health crisis, yet diets for millions of Americans continue to be based in heavily processed foods. Obese people often live in perpetual shame, and many others believe they are right to blame the overweight and obese for their problem.”

Dr. Kadile, director of the Center for Integrative Medicine and author of “Stop Dying F a t ” ( w w w. k p p m d . c o m ) , says poor attitudes and lack of understanding contribute significantly to this national crisis, which contributes to our national healthcare difficulties. He debunks five myths about being overweight and obese.

• “It’s your fault that you’re fat.” Obesity is caused by complex imbalances within

a person’s body and his or her environment. Poor dietary choices based on bad dietary information, personal history and psychological patterns exacerbate some imbalances.

Together, the physiological, psychological, social and environmental causes of the disease of obesity create a predicament that obese people are drawn into and unable to get out of.

• Obese people are among the “fat and happy.” Large people can be masters at suppressing the indignities they suffer in society. The obese often have to pay first-class fare since cheaper seats for transportation are designed for thinner people.

Most advertisements employ beautiful people who are thin, and rarely attractive actors who are larger. National campaigns to battle obesity do not focus on the factors beyond diet and exercise that keep people overweight.

Obese patients also spend an average of nearly $1,500 more each year on medical care than other Americans.

• Obese and overweight people just need the right diet.

There’s no shortage of diets promoted by beautiful people who promise amazing results. If only overweight people eat what they eat, then they’ll be beautiful,

too. But that’s just not true. What and how one eats is just a part of an excessive body mass index level. Other important factors to achieving a healthy BMI include good information regarding one’s health, sustained motivation to change, continuous learning, vigilance and an ability to be extremely honest.

• Food is not an obese individual’s friend; exercise is.

Eat less; exercise more; lose weight – those have been the commandments in the religion of weight loss. But most obese people have tried this and it hasn’t worked. More than being a source of pleasure, comfort and survival, food is medicine.

“I’ve developed a complementary set of protocols that target an obese person’s specific set of problems,” Dr. Kadile says. “Sometimes, you need to eat fat – the right kind – in order to burn fat. And, many exercises can actually harm an obese person. You can’t impose cookie-cutter solutions to this complex problem and expect them to work.”

• Fat people need to “just do it” – lose weight. This attitude is not based in reality; it’s an over-simplistic response for a frustrating problem.

“Morbidly obese patients need plenty of preparation,” he

says. “When a patient comes to me, I go through a rigorous list of questions regarding medical and family history. I ask about eating, sleeping and activity patterns, as well as medical conditions, emotional patterns, stress

histories, good times and bad times, etc. I also have them go through an extensive battery of medical tests. That’s the effective and safe way of doing it.”

In other words, “just do it” just doesn’t cover it.

Theatre Scores with a Look Back to the ‘60’s

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Do the names Abby Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Dr. Timothy Leary, or Angela Davis ring a bell? No? Well then you’re not as avant-garde as you think you are. No selfrespecting hippy or yippy, depending on your age, length of hair, and your inclination for rebellion, would forget the names of America’s pied-pipers of the “Peace” movement or slogans like “turn on, drop in, drop out”.

If you do indeed, remember, then you probably don’t text, tweet, or double right click, or do any other things that identify you as a super-senior.

But not too worry. The clever and inventive comedy play “Steal Heaven”, sharply and incisively written by Herbert

Siguenza and deftly co-directed

by Siguenza and Todd Salovey, will transport you back to those energy-charged halcyon days of the 1960’s. It was the time of Woodstock NY, where 100,000 young people gathered to see and hear their kind of music, smoke dope and enjoy lots of sex in a farmer’s field. It was also the summer of FlowerPower, sex and drugs in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district. It was the counterculture movement’s wildest and finest days.

Today’s counter-culture movement is involved in far more serious issues afflicting society.

It’s a dangerous world out there just being one’s self or in joining a movement as an advocate for free speech. Thanks to SD REP’s Mission Statement of producing intimate, exotic,

and provocative theatre, we get to slip back in time; reflect and perhaps empathize with today’s counter-culture vanguard.

Abby Hoffman was a political and social activist who co-founded the Youth International Party (“Yippies”) in 1968. In the comedy play written by Siguenza, the icon of youthful rebellion now serves as the patron saint of radicals.

In his little corner of Heaven, Abby Hoffman (zanily played

by Siguenza) conducts a boot camp for activists who have the hubris or chutzpah required to go back to Earth to become new agents of change.

Trish (Summer Spiro, in a tour de force performance), is a young veteran turned activist who was fatally tasered at a rally near the White House and now finds herself at the pearly

gates. Through a series of clever and inventive comedy exchanges with Hoffman, and his comrades: God, George Burns, John Lennon, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon, Grouch Marx, Ronald Reagan, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, Steve Jobs, and Julia Childs – all hilariously portrayed by the versatile Mark Pinter – Trish expresses her desire to become one their agents. It’s dazzling performance displaying Spiro’s versatility as a dancer, singer, and actor.

Ultimately, the powers that be agree that Trish, does, indeed, have the goods to do what needs be done back on Earth and she’s on her way.

Did you ever doubt it? It’s the journey by a solid three member ensemble cast that makes this entertaining production work.

In the technical department co-directors Siguenza and Salovey head a creative team led by: Scenic Designer Guilio Cesare Perrone, Costume Designer Anastasia Pautova, Lighting Designer Sherrice Mojgani, Sound Designer Kevin Anthenill, and Projection Designer Victoria Petrovich.

Followers of the Rep know that they are in good hands when it comes to satire or poking a theatrical finger into society’s pompous eye from time to time, and no one does it better than San Diego Repertory Theatre. They’ve been doing it successfully for thirty-eight seasons.

“Steal Heaven” run through January 25, 2015.

Taking Precautions for a Family Member with Dementia

By Desert Star Staff Not every person struggling with dementia lives in a nursing home or assisted-living facility.

In fact, more than 15 million Americans – usually family members or friends – provide unpaid caregiving to people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, according to a 2014 report by the Alzheimer’s Association.

Although it’s wonderful so many are willing to assume that responsibility, it’s also important they take steps to make sure the home is a safe place, says Kerry Mills, co-author with Jennifer Brush of the book “I Care: A Handbook for Care Partners of People With Dementia.” (www. engagingalzheimers.com) Part of that is to focus on potential hazards. The concept

is not unlike new parents making a house “childproof.” Many of the concerns are similar, such as stairs, electrical sockets, sharp objects and swimming pools.

At the same time, it’s easy to go too far, Mills said. Ideally, the environment for the person with dementia should be as unrestricted as possible.

“For example, if your loved one enjoys cooking for a hobby

and can safely cut and peel vegetables, then by all means, encourage it,” Mills says.

Mills suggests several ways to make a home safer for someone with dementia.

• For the front and back doors. Use bells on the doors, motion sensors that turn on lights or alerts, or other notifications that make the care partner aware when someone has gone out. Add lamps or motion-activated lighting so people can see where they are going when they are entering or leaving the house.

“Another way to discourage someone from wanting to leave the house is to make sure that he or she gets plenty of outside exercise whenever possible,” Mills says.

• For stairways and hallways. Add reflective tape strips to stair edges to make stairs more visible. Remove obstacles, such as mats and flowerpots, to minimize risks of falls on or by the stairs.

Also, install handrails in hallways and stairways to provide stability, and install a gate on the stairway to prevent falls. Improve the lighting around

hallways and stairs by installing more ceiling fixtures or wall sconces.

• For the bathroom. Install grab bars and a raised toilet seat to help both the individual with dementia and the care partners so they don’t have to lift the person on and off the toilet.

Add grab bars inside and outside the tub, and a non-skid surface in the tub to reduce risks of falls. You can also add colored tape on the edge of the tub or shower curb to increase contrast and make the tub edge more visible.

Lower the water temperature or install an anti-scald valve to prevent burns, and remove drain plugs from sinks or tubs to avoid flooding.

• For the possibility the person becomes lost. Provide your loved one with an identification or GPS bracelet in case he or she wanders. Label clothes with the person’s name, and place an identification card in his or her wallet with a description of the person’s condition. Notify police and neighbors of the person’s dementia and tendency to wander.

Riverside County Solar Program Launches Program Administered by Sullivan Solar Power allows Property Owners to receive $2,000

By Desert Star Staff (RIVERSIDE, Calif.)– Sullivan Solar Power, a leading Southern California renewable energy company, recently announced the launch of the Riverside County Solar Program. The incentive program allows for property owners in all 28 cities to go solar for no money out of pocket and receive cash-back incentives up to $2,000.

“Riverside County is an ideal location to harness the free energy that falls from the sky each day,” said Daniel Sullivan, founder and president of Sullivan Solar Power, “This rebate program has been created to spur the growth of renewable energy throughout the region and to reward property owners that declare energy independence.”

The incentive offering will run throughout 2015, and is limited to 100 participants. The Riverside County Solar Program is set up in a manner that provides early adopters the greatest rebate amounts. Participants who sign up first will receive the largest incentives, and the amount of the payments will continue to drop, as more capacity is committed.

The program is structured into three phases, and as milestones are reached, incentive amounts will drop by tiered amounts. With the program incentives currently in phase one,

“With the Riverside County Solar Program, homeowners can go solar without spending any money upfront and receive a $2,000 check for doing so,” said Daniel Sullivan, founder and president of Sullivan Solar Power, “How is that for a stimulus plan?”

A series of free informational luncheons will be taking place throughout the County to cover solar technology, rebates and

incentives, and the details of the Riverside County Solar Program.

The first seminar will be taking place on Saturday, March 28, 2015 in the City of Temecula’s Harveston Center.

Absentee Proxies, Absentee Meetings?

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL Dear Kelly: We are in the process of assembling an electronic address file. I am interested in your recent comments about obtaining quorum proxies from absentee homeowners. We used to get proxies from homeowners that lasted for three years. Then, in a periodic upheaval in DavisStirling, we were told that this is no longer allowed. Now here you are with this forwardlooking suggestion concerning the obtaining of proxies from absentee homeowners for annual meeting quorum purposes. Can you give us a citation in the latest and greatest version of DavisStirling that allows this? Can we

A few tips about telephone participation in meetings – first, it is an option of the board, which can decide not to offer telephonic participation. Second, if your association is going to allow telephonic participation, do not use an ordinary cell phone as a “speakerphone” because your members won’t be able to hear what is being said. Normal desktop phones with “speaker” functions also don’t work very well for meetings where multiple people may be listening or speaking. Consider purchasing a device which is intended to be used as a speakerphone, and you will have much less frustration in your boardroom.

Thanks, and hope this saves you some driving!

Mitt Romney Speaks to Youth in Coachella Valley Continued from Page 1

and how he contributed to his community and his God. He said his priority is the war on poverty. He said that if you finish high school, have had a job and marry before you have children, your chances are only 3% to get into poverty but 70% if you don’t follow those rules.

He answered questions on his religion, insurance plan and family.

His speech at the Ballroom was also different as he brought slides that were shown on large screens so when he talked numbers and statistics it made it easier to understand. He told of the current U.S. debt and its numbers, the deficits, Costs of social security, Medicare and Medicaid and how it is not being sustained. He touched on global warming and how nothing is being done where

other countries have high CO2 emissions. He said 45.2 million people live in poverty that is an extremely high number.

Other subjects he touched on were Middle-Income people not getting ahead, Safety as our Armed forces are being cut in size, Education of our children who is way behind other countries and of course his family.

Mitt Romney still has not decided to make another run for the presidency and will make that decision later. It depends on a lot of things, and he spoke about his regrets in his last campaign.

He commented that this was Martin Luther King Jr. day and said it impressed him greatly that one person could change the U.S. and History. It proved that one person could do a lot in life. He sounded like a man

Painted Dumpsters For Art Dedication

Desert Hot Springs Neighborhood Group

By Michael Picardi Desert Hot Springs: The beautification project, Neighborhood on Parade, which started back in October 2014, will have its final showing on January 31st from 12 pm to 3 pm. All five bins have been placed in designated vacant lots within a two-mile radius starting on Two Bunch Palms Trail. The bins are being placed and rotated each week on one of these five corner

lots: Two Bunch Palms Trail & Susan Way; Mesquite Ave. & Hacienda Ave.; Tamar Dr. & Hacienda Ave.; Miracle Hill Rd. & Hacienda Ave.; Verbena Dr. & Two Bunch Palms Trail.

Paula Terifaj, leader of the DHS Pick Up Crew, began planning this project over the summer months in collaboration with Chris Cunningham of DVD and the Palm Springs unified school district’s art

coordinator, Louisa Castrodale.

The receptacles were loaned to the city by Desert Valley Disposal for an exciting new project involving the Desert Hot Springs High School art students with the main focus of creating more community awareness and participation for the need to keep the city clean.

“We gave them the theme of ‘nature’ and let them have at it,” added Rosa Loughnane,

who, along with Debora Iyall, are the two instructors who worked with and supervised the students throughout the process.

“We are pleased to invite all of Coachella Valley to come see the artwork and meet our young artists. I’m very proud of the progress our city has made over the last year,” said Paula Terifaj.

The tour is a walk around of about 2 miles or can be easily viewed by car. A map will be provided and

students will be on site.

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic For audiences who follow PBS documentaries, the disturbing news from Pacific Northwest filmmaker Mark Titus comes as no surprise to find that America’s favorite fish, the wild Alaskan King salmon and other varieties of salmon are now in danger of becoming extinct. He begins his film with the intriguing film graphic warning: “There is a Fire in Water”.

The Alaska salmon industry is a $ billion dollar plus industry that appears to be headed for a financial tsunami. Events, if left status quo, could have a negative impact on the future of salmon as a specie and thus become a huge tragedy for the world’s food supply if the uniformed public sits idly by while commercial business interests move, once more, into our last wild frontier.

First, it was Big Oil and pipelines, now it’s a looming ecological crisis concerning water and its management that threatens the diminishing wild king salmon population and their very ability to reproduce and remain a viable fish species. The ramifications of such an event happening are mind-boggling. We need to remember that all nature on planet earth is interconnected.

Documenting the issues and the steps leading toward the abyss for the Alaskan

salmon industry, writer/director Titus, along with authors Bruce Brown (“Mountain in the Clouds”), David James Duncan (“The River Why”), David R. Montgomery (“King of Fish: The Thousand Year Run of Salmon”), and famed artist Ray Troll contribute to the film’s narrative in a series of filmed interviews laying out the case and plight of the industry and its future for those of us “lower forty-eighters” who know next to nothing when it comes to the salmon as a commercial commodity. We only know that the end- product is a delicioustasting entre from the kitchens of our favorite restaurants.

The wild King Salmon population – some as large as 100 pounds - returning to spawn has been rapidly declining. The damns the government and the mining interests built, plus fish farms erecting literal concrete barriers in order to protect their commercial salmon fish farms have contributed to the king salmon population’s decline.

Current measures all work against the wild king salmon and its immutable, primal, need to spawn and perpetuate its species. The streams and rivers they must navigate from the ocean, in many cases, has been poisoned by mineral and metal run-off from commercial mines.

Floating salmon carcasses fill the rivers and streams lending visual witness

to lessons not learned when it comes to human stupidity, selective memory, and poor stewardship of the land and its resources.

“The Breach” is a beautiful breathtakingly photographed documentary film that has a great deal to say about how Alaska and the Pacific Northwest need to reassess

how this vast land area and largest of our states responds when it comes to protecting its wealth of natural resources.

Following the screening there was a Q & A session with director Titus, producers: Susan LaSalle, Shane O’Connell and Chris Voss, a local Alaskan fisherman and past board member of The Bristol Bay

Regional Seafood Development Association. I don’t know what the politicians of Alaska and the mining interests thought of the film, but the vibe and message from the audience was unanimous. Something needs to be done concerning the saving of Alaska’s wild King Salmon. There is indeed, a fire in water.

FILM

BY THEDA KLEINHANS REICHMAN

And the Oscar May Go to.....?

The Golden Globes are often a precursor to what films will be nominated in the BestPicture category, and this year’s selections were particularly prophetic. The big Golden Globe winners were “The Grand Budapest Hotel” (best comedy) and “Boyhood” (best drama).

Both films then made the Director’s Guild top five lists and the Oscar eight best films list.

Another interesting observation, three of the top contenders have the letter B featured prominently in their title—”Birdman,” “Boyhood” and The Grand Budapest Hotel.”

Some years there are ten films in contention, this year only eight were nominated. “Birdman” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” landed nine nominations, followed by “Imitation Game” with eight. Clint Eastwood seems to be having a Ben Afleck moment, nominated for Best Picture, but not Best Director. Could that be because of his “empty chair” speech at the GOP convention?

It does seem like a snub since the word is “American Sniper” may be the best Clint Eastwood film to date.

Rounding out the list of Oscar’s nominations is “The Theory of Everything,” the film about Stephen Hawking, “Selma” and “Whiplash” which garnered five nominations.

Since I haven’t seen all the nominated films up for the Oscar, I am only going to speculate on one or two possible winners.

In the acting category, I think Golden Globe Best Actress

winner Julianne Moore will also win the Oscar. I have seen clips of her performances in “Still Alice,” about early-onset Alzheimer’s, and they are heart wrenching. And if you recall past Oscar’s races, portraying terrible illnesses and gaining or losing a lot of weight adds to your chances of taking home the gold. Remember Daniel Day Lewis in “My Left Foot” who was severely handicapped? In that spirit, I think Eddie Redmayne, Golden Globe winner, could be a top contender for his moving portrayal as Stephen Hawking.

So far, in her luminous acting career Meryl Streep has been nominated 18 times. Her nomination for supporting actress as the Witch in “Into the Woods” makes it 19, including 15 in the Best Actress category and now four for Supporting Actress. As Amy Pohler once said in a Golden Globe skit, “Meryl Streep has the flu, and I understand she is very good in it.” Meryl has garnered six more Oscar noms than either Katherine Hepburn or Jack Nicholson who are tied for second place.

Joining Meryl Streep in the Best Supporting Actress category is: Patricia Arquette in “Boyhood,” Laura Dern in “Wild,” Keira Knightley in “Imitation Game” and Emma Stone in “Birdman.” And who knows, Meryl may win again as the Witch in “Into the Woods” because she not only can act, she can really sing well enough to satisfy Stephen Sondheim.

Actors vying for the Oscar

Nominated film Grand Budapest Hotel in a supporting role are: Robert Duvall in “The Judge,” Ethan Hawke in “Boyhood,” Edward Norton in “Birdman,” Mark Ruffalo in “Foxcatcher: plus J.K.Simmons in “Whiplash.”

Nominees for Best Actor in a leading role are: Steve Carell in “Foxcatcher,” Bradley Cooper in “American Sniper,” Benedict Cumberbatch in “The Imitation Game,” Michael Keaton in “Birdman” and Eddie Redmayne in “The Theory of Everything.”

In the Best Actress in a leading role category, the nominees are Marion Cotillard in “Two Days, One Night,” Felicity Jones in “The Theory of Everything,” Julianne Moore in “Still Alice,” Rosamund Pike in “Gone Girl” and Reese Witherspoon in “Wild.”

Eight films were nominated for Best-Picture consideration, but only five directors can be nominated. Therefore, it came as a surprise, to me at least, that neither Clint Eastwood (“American Sniper”) nor writer/director Ava DuVernay (“Selma”) were chosen and director Bennett Miller made the cut for “Foxcatcher” even though his excellent film was not nominated for BestPicture consideration. How did that happen? Besides Miller, the other directors nominated are: Wes Anderson for “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” Alejandro G. Inarritu for “Birdman,” Richard Linklater for “Boyhood” and Morten Tyldum for “The Imitation Game.”

Another puzzle, since up to

ten films can be nominated for Best-Picture consideration, why didn’t “Foxcatcher” receive a place on the list?

Another well-liked Oscar category is Best Animated Film, and this year’s selections are “Big Hero 6,” “Boxtrolls,” “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” “Song of the Sea” and “The Tale of the Princess Kaguya.” The surprise in this competition is the fact that the very, very popular “Lego Movie” was ignored.

On Feb. 22, the Oscar ceremony will be telecasted on ABC-TV. Only one individual or film in each category will take home the Oscar, but win or lose....it really is an honor just

North Coast Rep Theatre Delivers Inventive Film Noir Musical

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic The “film noir” genre is not necessarily the first choice of stage producers to become book musical material. I’m having trouble coming up with a candidate, unless one considers Stephen Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd”, an English “noir” story set to music, as an example. And that’s a stretch at best.

For audiences of North Coast Repertory Theatre, located in Solana Beach, CA “Gun Metal Blues” is a highly inventive and cleverly written musical satire penned by Scott Wentworth, to the music of Craig Bohmler and Marion Adler. Deftly directed by Andrew Barnicle, aficionados of “noir” will be pleased with the results of the current offering performed by a splendid cast of three all-Equity singer/actors who talk the talk, and walk the walk, all the time being aware of that precarious line between satire, and melodrama. www.desertstarweekly.com

The current generation of theatre-goers may not remember film noir as well as the older audience, but there was a definite reason as to why it was popular in the 1940’s and 50’s. Noir glorified the individual, the loner, who often stepped over the legal line in an effort to obtain justice.

He, yes, it was always a “he” who bucked the establishment and got the job done. Once again, it was rugged individualism; a definite American trait that was celebrated. Secretly, a lot of men vicariously identified with the hard-boiled, hard drinking, tough guy persona who usually won the “dame”. Game, set and match. Checkmate! And then the lights came up and reality set in again. But, it was sweet while it lasted.

The story and plot by Wentworth, replete with so many narrative threads in order to cover every cliché of the genre, is wonderfully abetted by the “on-the nosy” lyrics of

Adler, and the mood-inducing music of Bohmler. These two key elements transport the audience back in time to where “civil rights” was an oxymoron expression that had absolutely no meaning at all for the average Joe of the “noir world”.

The on-stage chemistry between Sam the Private Eye, neatly played by Kevin Bailey, and the protean performance by lithe and seductive Sharon Rietkerk, is palpable. She plays four women; all completely different in age, look, and character, and she delivers each femme fatale role in spades.

Jeffrey Rockwell the piano player and Greek Chorus/Narrator, as well as five other characters, shines in a performance chockfull of comic timing and witty asides. Rockwell (also the music director for the show), becomes the quintessential lounge pianoplayer character Buddy Toupee, a character we’ve all met over the years in lounges, bars, and January 21, 2015

clubs in cities all over the country.

The musical numbers by the creative team are snappy, dreamy, poignant, and so very noir as well as melodic. Musical numbers like “Don’t Know What I Expected” by Buddy, Sam and Laura, “Mansion Hill” by Sam and Buddy, and “The Blonde Song” by Carol are standouts in Act I. Sam’s belting of “Gun Metal Blues” and his haunting rendition of “Jenny” hit their marks in Act II.

The costumes of Alina Bokovikova are spot-on as are the set design and the moodinducing lighting design by the ever-reliable team of Marty Burnett and Matt Novotny respectively. Also, there are so many clever directorial touches

by Andrew Barnicle in this entertaining, satirical, homage to the film noir genre, make sure you catch a performance.

The production runs through February 15, 2015.

Jeb Bush Coming to the Valley to Fund Raise

By David Reese COACHELLA VALLEY Potential Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush will be in Los Angeles and Riverside counties this week to raise funds.

The former gover nor of Florida will be attending fundraisers for both his Right to Rise leadership PAC and the Right to Rise super PAC. On Thursday, Bush will be the featured guest at a reception in Los Angeles for his Right to Rise leadership PAC. The event’s co-host is to be Brad Freeman, a close friend and top financial backer of Bush’s brother, President George W. Bush, CNN reported. Guests will be asked to contribute up to $5,000, the annual limit they may give to the

leadership PAC in a calendar year.

He will then head out to Riverside County’s Coachella Valley for two Right to Rise super PAC fundraisers, followed by an evening reception to benefit the leadership PAC. A luncheon to benefit Bush’s Right to Rise super PAC will be held at the home of Stacey and Greg Renker, philanthropists known for their contributions to the Eisenhower Medical Center.

Luncheon guests were asked to contribute $12,500 to the Bushaligned super PAC. An afternoon roundtable with Bush at the home of Carol Price will also benefit the Right to Rise super PAC with donations from guests of $7,500.

The Friday night reception and discussion will take place at the Eldorado Country Club in Indian Wells and be limited to 100 guests, who were asked to contribute $1,250 per individual or $2,500 per couple to Bush’s new Right to Rise PAC. Former Missouri Sen. John Danforth, who was considered as a vice presidential running mate for President Bush and later served as his special envoy to Sudan and as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, will be on the honorary host committee for the evening Indian Wells fundraiser, CNN reported.

In 2011, Danforth endorsed Romney. Source KMIR

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On 02/03/2015 at 09:00 A.M., First American Title Insurance Company, as duly appointed Trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 03/29/2007, as Instrument No. 2007-0214831, in book , page , , of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of RIVERSIDE County, State of California. Executed by: ALICIA O MCCUTCHEON, A MARRIED WOMAN AS HER SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER’S CHECK/CASH EQUIVALENT or other form of payment authorized by 2924h(b), (Payable at time of sale in lawful money of the United States) AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE OF THE FORMER CORONA POLICE DEPARTMENT AT 849 W. SIXTH STREET, CORONA, CA. All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED DEED OF TRUST APN# 673-780-055-9 The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 3 SHASTA LAKE DR, RANCHO MIRAGE, CA 92270-5825 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

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 $544,398.21. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust has deposited all documents evidencing the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust and has declared all sums secured thereby immediately due and payable, and has caused a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be executed. 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 (916)939-0772 or visit this Internet Web http://search.nationwideposting. com/propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA1400259170 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

Supreme Court to Decide Same Sex Marriage During This Term

By KMIR News Staff WASHINGTON, D.C. Advocates of same-sex marriage in the Coachella Valley expressed elation and optimism today, following an announcement by the.US. Supreme Court that it will take up the issue in a comprehensive way and decide once and for all whether gay and lesbian couples can wed.

While such marriages are already legal in California, the nation’s highest court will decide whether the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution requires states to permit same-sex marriages, and recognize those performed in other states where it is already legal. ``I’m very pleased because I think that will finally settle the issue once and for all,’’ Palm Springs City Councilwoman Ginny Foat said.

Ron deHarte, president of Greater Palm Springs Pride, was pleasantly surprised the court decided to make a sweeping decision, after showing a reluctance in the past to rule more broadly beyond the individual cases before it.

As recently as October, the court declined to hear appeals of rulings allowing samesex marriages in five states, suggesting tacit approval, but failing to offer the broad c o n s t i t u t i o n a l p ro t e c t i o n proponents sought. ``This is what we’ve been asking for for a long time,’’ deHarte said.

Mike Thompson, executive

director of the LGBT Community Center of the Desert in Palm Springs, saw the announcement as a major step toward final victory for supporters of marriage equality. ``We are thrilled to learn SCOTUS will be taking these cases challenging state bans on same-sex marriage,’’ he said. ``We believe nationwide marriage equality will be the outcome. Love will win.’’

The cases being considered by the U.S. Supreme Court involve four states -- Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee -- where same-sex marriages are banned. Those states are among the 14 remaining in the country that do not allow samesex unions.

The court is expected to hear arguments in April, with a ruling likely in June.

In March 2000, California voters approved Prop. 22, which specified in state law that only marriages between a man and a woman are valid in California.

But in May of 2008, the state Supreme Court ruled the law was unconstitutional because it discriminated against gays, and an estimated 18,000 samesex couples got married in the ensuing months.

Opponents of same-sex marriage quickly got Prop. 8 on the November 2008 ballot to amend the state constitution, and it was approved by a margin of 52.5 percent to 47.5 percent.

In May 2009, the California Supreme Court upheld Prop. 8

but also ruled that the unions of roughly 18,000 same-sex couples who were wed in 2008 prior to its passage would remain valid.

Same-sex marriage supporters took their case to federal court, and U.S.District Judge Vaughn R. Walker ruled in August 2010 that Proposition 8 ``both unconstitutionally burdens the exercise of the fundamental right to marry and creates an irrational classification on the basis of sexual orientation.’

Backers of Proposition 8 -ProtectMarriage.com -- appealed to the 9th Circuit, because thenGov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and then-Attorney General Jerry

Brown declined to do so. The appellate court heard arguments in 2011 but put a decision on hold while it awaited a state Supreme Court ruling on the ability of Prop. 8 backers to press the case forwarstate’s refusal state’s refusal to appeal.

The state Supreme Court decided that Prop. 8 supporters had legal standing, so the 9th Circuit moved ahead with its consideration of the case, hearing more arguments on a motion

by Prop. 8 backers asking that Walker’s ruling be thrown out because the judge was in a longterm same-sex relationship that he had not disclosed.

A three-judge panel of

the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in 2012 that the proposition’s primary impact was to ``lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California.’’ ``It stripped same-sex couples of the ability they previously possessed to obtain and use the designation of `marriage’ to describe their relationships,’’ according to the court’s decision.

That ruling led to an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in 2013 that Prop. 8 backers lacked legal standing to challenge the 9th Circuit’s ruling, clearing the way for same-sex marriage in California. Source KMIR

S P O RT S Kobe Bryant Not Too Old To Break Records

BY DANIEL MARINELLI

LOS ANGELES – The stage was the biggest it will get in a nightmare, eventually playoffless 2015 season for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Nationally televised, Thursday night basketball on TNT. Floyd Mayweather, Jack Nicholson, Rihanna, Anthony Kiedas and Cedric the Entertainer sitting courtside. Lebron and his revamped Cavaliers team visiting Staples Center in what will likely be among the final James vs. Kobe matches – and it will certainly turn out to be one of the

most remembered games of the season for the down Lakers.

Still in the childhood stages of rebuilding the roster, the night was almost perfect for the Buss family’s team. A close, entertaining game to the end, a few intense, one-onone possessions between King James and Bryant, and the loss to aid Los Angeles in securing a top five spot in this year’s NBA draft lottery.

To put the cherry on top of the sundae that was the game,

the Black Mamba made it historic by recording 17 assists, a new career high for the shooting guard. With under five minutes remaining in the game, Bryant hit Jordan Hill rolling to the hoop for the record-setting pass – his eighth time finding Hill on the night.

After the game, Kobe was asked if at the start of the season he thought he was capable of having a 17-assist outing and five-time champ responded in typical fashion.

“Yeah,” Bryant said.

“Honestly, yeah.”

Even in his 19th year, Kobe will always have that omnipotentlike confidence that he can do anything. He did go on to give credit to the rest of his team for making the shots that gave the Mamba his memorable night.

“When it comes to assists, it’s really the other guys that wind up making you look good,” Bryant said of his teammates.

“They did that tonight, they made shots and wound up having 17 assists.”

Kobe’s previous best was over 10 years ago against the Michael Jordan Washington Wizards in 2002.

Kobe is typically a shooter and not known to rack up double-digit assists, though, being one of the most gifted NBA players to ever step on the court, Bryant could fill whichever stat he pleases on any given night.

In addition to his assist total, the Lakers star finished with 19 points and six rebounds on the night.

This season will likely make the list as being one of the worst in Lakers History. Following the

game against the Cavaliers, with the nod from executive management, head coach Byron Scott decided to rest Kobe for the next few games. The Lakers would like to preserve the star’s legs – knees and Achilles, specifically – and fend off Father Time and retirement as long as possible.

“I want to play. I want to play but at the same time I understand (Scott’s) position, Bryant said.

“I understand management’s position and I will do what they ask of me. But it’s very, very hard for me to miss one game. I am not going to be here much longer, so the games that I play, I want to make sure I’m playing and enjoying it and appreciating it.”

With back-to-back losses to the Jazz and Suns following the assist night, the Lakers have now lost five consecutive games – tying the season-high fivegame losing streak to start the schedule. With a 12-30 record, it does not get any easier in the coming week.

Tonight, the Lakers head to New Orleans to take on Anthony Davis’ Pelicans, and then they visit the defending national champion San Antonio Spurs on Friday. The Lakers will return home for tough games against the Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls.

This time next Wednesday, the Lakers could, in fact, be 1235, but hey, Lakers fans thinking about the future and the NBA draft lottery might not be too sad about that.

55th Annual Humana Challenge Returns to La Quinta

By Dan Marinelli LA QUINTA – January is here and that means the Humana Challenge, in partnership with the Clinton Foundation is returning to the courses at PGA WEST for the 55th annual golf match.

The tournament takes place this Thursday – Sunday (Jan. 22 – Jan. 25), but there have been sponsored health events and seminars all week.

The Humana Challenge, formerly known as the Bob Hope Classic, is a pro-am that takes place at the Arnold Palmer Private at PGA WEST (host course) and is part of the PGA Tour. Additional courses used for the tournament are the La Quinta Country Club and the Jack Nicklaus Private at PGA WEST. The format of the tournament is set up as follows: For the first 54 holes (Thursday, Friday, Saturday), each of the 156 professional golfers will pair with a different amateur partner on one of the three aforementioned courses. On Sunday, the 70 lowest scoring professionals and six lowest scoring amateurs will play the final round of the Humana Challenge at the Arnold Palmer Private at PGA WEST. The four-day tournament is comprised of some of the best golfers, including 14 of the top 45

in the world. In addition last year’s record-setting champion Patrick Reed (23), the field will feature: Matt Kuchar (11), Billy Horschel (13), two-time (2002, 2004) Humana Challenge champion, three-time Masters champion, five-time major championship winner and World Golf Hall of Famer Phil Mickelson (14), Zach Johnson (19), Chris Kirk (20), Kevin Na (25), Keegan Bradley (29), Ryan Moore (30), Luke Donald (33), Jason Dufner (36), Bill Haas (40), Ryan Palmer (41) and Webb Simpson (44).

In last year’s Humana Challenge, Patrick Reed ran away with the victory by scoring a PGA Tour record, three 63’s or better in the first three rounds of a tournament. Additionally, at 23, 5 months and 14 days, Reed became the second youngest player behind Jack Nicklaus to win the Humana Challenge. The 24-year-old will have some work to do if he wants to win again in 2015. No Golfer has won the Coachella Valley tournament two years straight since Johnny Miller in 1975-1976.

Each day, the Humana Challenge will offer different sponsored kiosks, stands and events on the PGA WEST grounds. On Thursday, it is Novo Nordisk Senior’s Day. Friday is

Saturday is Patriot Day, presented by Humana and Sunday is Kid’s Day featuring a TGA Premier Youth Tennis Clinic and a TGA Premier Junior Golf Clinic.

The Humana Challenge is not solely a golf tournament; it is an opportunity to raise money for charity, as well. Since the first tournament in 1960, the Humana Challenge, has donated more than $56 million to Eisenhower Medical Center and a plethora of other local charities.

Tournament tickets are

still available at Lumpy’s in La Quinta and Rancho Mirage, at PGA TOUR Superstore in Palm Desert, and at the front gate at PGA WEST (Jan. 21-25). A daily ticket is $40 (valid one day only), a Weekly Grounds Badge is $120 (Grounds only, WednesdaySunday), a Wednesday ticket (PGA WEST only) is $15, a Senior ticket is $20 and a Full Week Club 17 Membership is $250.

When: Each round of the tournament, from Jan. 22 – Jan. 25, will start at 8:30 a.m on each course.

TV: Golf Channel from 12–4 p.m., Thursday – Sunday. (live coverage; all times Pacific) Additional information: Visit www.humanachallenge.com.
