Humana, Clinton Aid Humana Challenge Revival

(Photo by Dan Marinelli) By Dan Marinelli LA QUINTA – The old Bob Hope Classic was on the wane – until Humana took over. Partnering with the Clinton Foundation, Humana revived the tournament, creating not only the Humana Challenge but also one of the “Healthiest Events in America.” Humana’s goal, however, is to make the Humana Challenge, not one of the – but the – “Healthiest Event in America.” To accomplish this goal, the health care company dedicated the entire week before the tournament (Jan. 13 – Jan. 19) to promoting health and wellness. Before the aptly named “Wellness Week” could even attempt to hold the title of
2
“Healthiest Event in America,” the Humana Challenge still needed backing from more professional golfers. To entice the top players, there were some kinks who needed to be worked out in the event’s main public draw – the golf tournament. “It was obvious,” said President Clinton in an interview. “We couldn’t have a five-day tournament anymore, if we wanted to compete and get the really good players.” This year, the European Tour’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, played the same weekend as the PGA Tour’s Humana Challenge, created a big deterrence in the appearance in
big-name golfers at the Humana Challenge. On the European Tour, pro golfers receive appearance fees, yet; on the PGA Tour, the only earnings come from the tournament’s purse. In 2014, the lucrative Abu Dhabi tournament lured many prominent golfers, including Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson. Next January, Humana and the Clinton Foundation hope their powerful cause, and their tournament adjustments will be enough to bring these players to PGA West to help promote health and wellness. The tournament’s former style was asking too much of the
professional. Clinton pointed out. The Humana Challenge changed the group format makeup from one pro with three amateurs, to two pros with two amateurs. “All these things have been changed to make this both more entertaining for people who watch it, and more attractive for the professionals, in a way that doesn’t change the fundamentals of the tournament,” Clinton mentioned. The changes the Humana Challenge made in 2014 did, in fact, impact the decisions of topnotch players. “I like the format now,” said the world’s No. 6 ranked golfer, Zach Johnson. “With two amateurs, two pros, three golf courses instead of four, the positives are huge. And the fact that Humana has come on board now and really taken this to another level with President Clinton and his foundation, just makes it that much more special, too.” Other top players who joined Zach Johnson at the 2014 Humana Challenge were Brandt Snedeker, Webb Simpson, Keegan Bradley, Bill Haas and Harris English. Now that the tournament has been reformatted to attract more golfers and spectators, Humana and the Clinton Foundation focused their resources on the goal – making the Humana Challenge the “Healthiest Event in America.” In doing so, the organizations recognized how a golf tournament is a sporting event like none other. “Not only are the athletes, the golfers, the ones getting exercise, but so is the gallery,” said LPGA golfer and Humana representative Nancy Scranton. “Not too many places – other sporting events (do the spectators exercise), other than getting up from your seat to get a hot dog or something.” The fact that everyone involved in the tournament, from spectators to players, gets a significant amount of exercise created not only a health promoting an aspect of Wellness Week, but a charitable one, as well. Throughout the week, at
Humana’s Vitality Tent, Humana handed out free pedometers to golfers and spectators who could be registered to the phone app Charity Miles. The app allows users to keep track of the miles they have walked, and for every mile traveled, Charity Miles donates 25 cents to the charity of the user’s choice. Humana decided to take it a step further and match every mile walked, an additional 25 cents to the user’s chosen charity. Handing out complimentary pedometers was not the only healthy benefit available at Humana’s Vitality Tent – which served as a small, interactive and educational wellness seminar. Humana Challenge patrons had an opportunity to use a “Blender Bike,” a device where the momentum of pedaling on a stationary exercise bike activates an attached blender filled with a free,nutritious smoothie, which the pedaled can drink. The tent also offered a biometric station that analyzed bodily statistics; a “Good Health Stand,” where patrons learned about healthy eating habits and diet change, and an electronic dance game that displayed an alternative way of getting exercise. The Clinton Foundation supplemented Humana’s Vitality Tent with its own health tent that offered regular cooking classes as well as health cooking demos, and aerobic classes. The Humana Challenge is on its way to become the Healthiest Event in America. Attracting more high-profile golfers to play in future Humana Challenges will only help aid Humana and the Clinton Foundation in promoting health, wellness and longevity. “I would like to appeal to Bo (Van Pelt) and all the young players here, to bring the top players to this tournament,” World Golf Hall of Famer and Humana Ambassador, Gary Player, stated, “we all like to win Majors, but there’s no tournament with the significance of this tournament to save lives.”

TAURUS You’re becoming known as an expert is some field of thought, enlightening many who depend upon you for intelligent conversations, new thought and information based on focused research. Even though you’re considered one of the most traditional sign, you’re also one of the most unusual. That’s because eventually Taurus receives their information from the Raincloud of Knowable Things. New directions keep precipitating.
your shadow side, Sagittarius, is highlighted this week and next. You’re on a quest for new knowledge, adventures, a new journey, explorations, new terrain. You’re seeking to have a global mind. There’s wonder in your eyes when you encounter the freedom arising from an intelligent well thought out mind. A new philosophy or science emerges. Perhaps it’s the Electric Universe you need to discover. CANCER You often surprise others. When speaking it’s often from a deep intuition and instinct. It’s often profound.

a new combination of style highlighting your unconventional ideas, thoughts and behaviors. Unconventional because Aquarius exemplifies the future, what hasn’t been seen or thought of before. You’re a friend to everyone (everyone thinks). But really they’re acquaintances mostly. One or two real friends. Because you’re original (some think odd, but only those who don’t understand).

Actually you’d rather be avant-garde, an artist on the wild side, breaking all rules, encountering the unusual, being unconventional and unlikely. You know there are gardens to grow, photographs to take, pictures to paint, clothing to design, trees to plant. There’s generosity to offer and creativity to burst forth. Possibilities, colorful, alive, bursting forth everywhere.

Self-determination and independence are major needs in your life. Without them there is no free will. SAGITTARIUS You’ve become much more social. Mingling more, throwing pit bright, at times, challenging, philosophical exchanges, creating new idea currents in minds of those who listen to you, read what you’ve written, need your company, cherish your friendship, and/or hang onto your every witty outrageous word. Something you feel needs to be updated. A new profile, newer identity, a new language? Something unusual.

Local Men Charged in Vanderbilt Rape Case By Jackie Devereaux PALM DESERT - The attorney for one of the men charged with allegedly tampering with evidence in a Vanderbilt rape case said his client, Joseph Dominick Quinzio, 20, of Palm Desert, received a video of the alleged rape through his phone as a text message. Criminal Defense Attorney Brett Greenfield with the Los Angeles law firm of Kenner and Greenfield admitted that his client, Quinzio, “saw the video
and became very disturbed.” Quinzio, along with Miles Finley, 19, of Bermuda Dunes are friends of Brandon Vandenburg, 20, of Indio. The three young men played football together at Xavier College Preparatory High School in Palm Desert. Vandenburg was arrested for five counts of rape and two counts of sexual battery against an unconscious 21-year-old female Vanderbilt student. Vandenburg is also charged with videotaping the female victim
and passing on those videos to others. The alleged rape and video tapping took place on June 23 in Tennessee. Greenfield said the video was sent to his client. Quinzio and Finley both are charged with tampering with electronic evidence and scheduled to appear in separate courtrooms on Tuesday, Aug. 20 for extradition hearings. “He’s (Quinzio) being accused of somehow tampering with or destroying evidence, and

newspaper article describing how his dad was rescued twice off Mount San Jacinto on Feb. 9, 2009 and then again on May 13, 2010. Jens, who speaks little or no English, was adopted by his stepfather at the age of 10 and only knows a little about his biological father from stories his mother told him through the years. “I’d like to know more
about him. How’s he been living all these years,” the younger Alihodic said through a German/ English interpreter. Jens said he started looking for his father about a year and a half ago after meeting the love of his life, Karin Huebers.

nothing could be further than the truth,” Greenfield said. Nashville, Tennessee Metro police traveled to California in July to interview both Quinzio and Finley about their involvement with the cover up. Greenfield said his client was so disturbed by the video, that he went to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department on Friday, Aug. 16 and reported everything he knew. “Doing the right thing was what prompted him to go to the sheriff,” Greenfield said, knowing an investigation was going on. Greenfield said only when
Quinzio showed up to talk to investigators did he find out that there was a warrant for his arrest in Tennessee. “He (Quinzio) was simply sent a text message, unwanted, unsolicited, out of the blue, put in a terrible situation by someone who he thought was a friend,” Greenfield said. Quinzio is being held without bail at the Southwest Detention Center. Finley is being held at the Larson Justice Center in Indio without bail and is also expected to appear in court Tuesday.

Jackie Collins concluded the event to a sold out event held at the Helene Galen Auditorium at the Annenberg Center for Health Sciences. Co-Founders of this remarkable event Jamie Kabler and Susan Rosser said the event was “ a success beyond our wildest dreams.” A comment overheard at a private dinner given as the authors was ‘our future is assured!’ “Angels” responsible for making this literary event a reality is Helene Galen, Anne Holland, Lois Hurvitz, Donna Macmillan and Hal Gershowitz, who generously donated the funds necessary to get the event off the ground. Among the authors, several of which were awarded Pulitzer Prizes were A.Scott Berg author of Wilson.

What a tight blend of talent, from sumptuous silks on a show created by Shari Belafonte to the music of pianist Gale Enger enhanced with the crystal clear voice of Soprano Jamie Chamberlin. Expectedly, guests arrived nonstop to this eclectic event, especially Larry and Laurie Weitz, who had a hand in making it happen
along with art pal, Dimitri Halkidis, owner of Gallery 446 where there truly is never a dull moment. And speaking of meaningful moments The Israel Guide Dog Center for the Blind is blending Opera and Orchids on Feb 19 at the Agua Caliente Casino, Resort and Spa’s Ballroom when Mezzo-soprano Laurie Rubin, returns to the Desert with her accomplished pianist Jenny
Taira. The night before the artist performs musical selections ranging from classical to clearly personal. A rare repertoire from a young woman who overcame her blindness at birth to become an opera singer and author of note. Her book, Can You Dream In Color reveals her secrets of success. She performs the night before, Feb. 18th with the Palm Springs Community
Concert Association at the Palm Springs High School Auditorium. Between the Palm Springs International Film Festival which concluded on January 13th and Modernism Week, which began on February 13th (through Feb. 23rd) there’s barely time to read one of the many marvelous books discussed at the Rancho Mirage Writer’s Festival!

Called “a trivial comedy for serious people!” “The Importance www.desertstarweekly.com
of Being Earnest” is a tale of lost and found love and objects. Pelfrey described the play with a mysterious smile, “It can be a play of deep meaning or a shallow relaxing evening at the theatre, your choice, while it is a play of complexity, and it is simple in its message.” The retired Marine, now a veteran theatrical director,
said he was blessed with a truly dedicated cast of young professionals. “The cast has given much more than I ask and so much more than I expected from such a young cast.” He said, adding enthusiastically, “It was more than a pleasure to attend rehearsals each night.” Pelfrey spoke of his performers glowingly, “The January 24, 2014
character of Miss Prism; the governess with a secret past is portrayed wonderfully by Theatre 29 veterans Janet Peercy; Ben Bees is superb as John Worthing, aka Earnest, aka Jack, Algernon Moncrieff is immerging as the true rascal of the play admirably by Cyrus Short, Gwendolen Fairfax, who hates crowds but chooses to live in the city, is played to
perfection by Katie VanSumeren, Lady Bracknell, the most upper crust of society, is brought to life by the wonderful Kathryn Ferguson, Leonard Weber as Reverend Chasuble is kept busy with numerous christenings, and we know he is smart because he has written no books, Marv Schmelling is truly the most sarcastic and dead-pan butlers/ man servant you will ever meet, and Lizzie Schmelling is superb as the spoiled ward of Worthing, every night is a mystery as to what Ms. Cecily Cardew might do, her scene with Lady Fairfax is worth the price of admission.” “The Importance of Being Earnest” will run weekends through February 8th, 2014. Friday and Saturday night shows open at 7:00 p.m. with Sunday Matinees on January 19th and February 2nd at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $12.00 for General Admission, $10.00 for Seniors and Military, and $8.00 for students with ID and children under 12.
