Bomb Cyclone

‘Pineapple Express’ to create flooding across CA.

By Desert Star Staff Indeed a brutal storm is expected to hit California this week, causing millions of residents to fear the worst. This storm is set to roar on Wednesday and

Thursday, and forecasters warn it could bring flooding and strong winds. Although the rain will be minimal in northern parts of the state, some coastal mountains could see 8 to 12 inches of

rain. In addition, mudslides, roadway flooding, and other storm-related problems are expected in other areas.

Weather forecasters are warning that the storm will bring heavy rain, thunder,

By Desert Star Staff CATHEDRAL CITY, CA – Tony Award-winning actress CADY HUFFMAN will star as American cultural icon Mae West in Coachella Valley Repertory’s new production of DIRTY BLONDE. The production will be helmed

by Broadway director Philip Wm. McKinley and Broadway veterans William Ryall and Joshua Morgan will complete the cast. Described as a play with music, the production will include classic tunes such as “A Guy What Takes His Time,” I’m No Angel,” I Wonder Where My Easy Rider’s Gone,” “Perfect Love,” as well as the title song by Bob Stillman, “Dirty Blonde.”

When DIRTY BLONDE opened on Broadway in 2000, it collected four Tony

nominations and four Drama Desk nominations and won the Theatre World Award.

DIRTY BLONDE is as unlikely, outrageous, and fascinating as the indomitable Mae West. The iconic star, who remains one of the most talked about Hollywood figures, is the catalyst in this “Rolls-Royce of a vehicle” (NY Times). Her ‘dirty blonde to platinum’ career inspires two lonely young fans who see her as their hero and lifeline. As it will be with all things Mae West, this leads to a new, budding, funny, and sometimes bizarre romance.

Set design will be by Jimmy Cuomo, costume design by Frank Cazares, lighting design by Moira Wilke, and the Stage Manager will be John M. Gallo.

Executive Artistic Director, Adam Karsten, said, “CVRep is excited to start the New Year with the exceptional talents within the cast of DIRTY BLONDE. It is the goal of CVRep to bring the highest quality, intimate theatre to the Valley, and we are pleased to be able to do so with Cady, Bill, and Joshua under the direction of Phil McKinley for this premiere production of DIRTY BLONDE here in Coachella Valley.”

Performances of DIRTY BLONDE are Tuesdays through Sundays, January 17-22, 2023, and January 24 – 29, 2023. Curtain time for Wednesday through Saturday evening performances is 7 p.m., and Saturday and

National Weather Service.

2023 Winning Flower and Vegetable Varieties

By Melinda Myers It’s never too early to start planning new additions to this year’s gardens and containers. So start compiling your list to place your seed order or buy plants early when

the selection is the greatest.

Consider including a few All-America Selections (AAS) winners. These plants have been “Tested Nationally & Proven Locally™” for their superior performance in home

gardens and containers.

Then, grow some 2023 flower winners for a new look to some long-time favorites.

Coral Candy Coleus is part of the Premium Sun series of coleus. It is the first coleus grown from seed to be selected as an AAS Winner.

This uniformly compact coleus has unique narrow, serrated, multicolored leaves.

The AAS judges found this variety maintained the color even when grown in full sun.

It performed well all season and had almost no flowers.

You only need three seeds to fill a 14 to 16” container.

Bring a bit of the tropics to your garden, patio, or balcony with Royal Hawaiian® Waikiki colocasia. This beautiful elephant ear wowed the judges with its sturdy burgundy stems and large glossy leaves featuring pink veins and creamy white centers. Waikiki reveals these striking colors earlier than other variegated colocasia. In addition, this compact variety holds up well in wind and rain.

The stunning orange flowers of Doubleshot snapdragons will have you

looking for spaces in the garden and containers to include this winner. This 18 to 20” tall snapdragon features open-faced double flowers that start in shades of orange and orange-red, transitioning to a dusty shade as they age.

Its strong stems produce many flower-filled branches all season long that don’t break off in high winds.

Blue By You salvia is bursting with bright blue flowers from late spring into fall when spent flowers are removed. This perennial blooms up to two weeks earlier than similar varieties already on the market. It was tested over three seasons, including winters, and was proven hardy in zones 4b to 9a. It is a favorite of hummingbirds and butterflies, makes an excellent cut flower, is suitable for containers, and is heat tolerant. All this, and it’s less favored by deer and rabbits.

Make space in the vegetable garden for the high-yielding Kabocha Sweet Jade winter squash. The fruit weighs between one and two pounds, making it perfect for single servings of squash, as

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.

Managing Birth Defects for a Lifetime

A

FAMILY FEATURES

n estimated 1 in 33 babies is born with a birth defect, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

While some require minimal intervention after birth, many birth defects affect the individual, parents and families across a lifetime.

Birth defects are structural changes present at birth that can affect almost any part of the body. They may affect how the body looks, works or both. They can cause problems in overall health, how the body develops or how the body works, and may range from mild to serious health conditions.

Awareness of birth defects across the lifespan helps provide affected individuals, parents and families the information they need to seek proper care. Learn more about birth defects at each stage of life from the experts at March of Dimes:

Before and During Pregnancy Not all birth defects are preventable but protecting a mother’s health before and during pregnancy can help increase the likelihood of a healthy baby. Having adequate folic acid for at least one month before getting pregnant and throughout the pregnancy can prevent major birth defects.

Other important steps include receiving proper prenatal care from a doctor, preventing infections,

avoiding alcohol and drugs, controlling conditions like diabetes and avoiding getting too hot.

Infancy Babies who are diagnosed with a birth defect during pregnancy or at birth may need special care.

Similarly, monitoring for certain birth defects can help pinpoint a potential problem and ensure the baby begins receiving supportive care for better survival rates and quality of life. Examples include newborn screenings for critical congenital heart defects and monitoring bladder and kidney function in infants and children with spina bifida.

Childhood For children born with heart defects and conditions like spina bifida, muscular dystrophy or Down syndrome, early intervention services and support can make a significant impact on a child’s success in school and life. They can help children with learning problems and disabilities; school attendance; participation in school, sports and clubs; mobility adaptations; and physical, occupational and speech therapy.

Adolescence Many adolescents and young adults who have birth defects begin working toward a transition to

a healthy, independent adult life in their later teen years. This may involve insurance changes and switching from pediatricians to adult doctors.

Other areas of focus might include medications, surgeries and other procedures; mental health; social development and relationships within and outside the family; physical activity; and independence.

Adulthood Certain conditions, such as heart defects, can cause pregnancy complications or affect sexual function.

Talking with a doctor about your specific condition can help you understand your risk.

In addition, every pregnancy carries a 3% risk of birth defects, even without lifestyle factors or health conditions that add risk, according to the CDC. Women who have had a pregnancy affected by a birth defect may be at greater risk during future pregnancies.

Talking with a health care provider can help assess those risks. A clinical geneticist or genetic counselor can assess your personal risk of birth defects caused by changes in genes, as well as your risk due to family history.

Common Causes of Birth Defects Research shows certain circum­ stances, or risk factors, may make a woman more likely to have a baby with a birth defect. Having a risk factor doesn’t mean a baby will be affected for sure, but it does increase the chances. Some of the more common causes of birth defects include:

Environment The things that affect everyday life, including where you live, where you work, the kinds of foods you eat and how you like to spend your time can be harmful to your baby during pregnancy, especially if you’re exposed to potentially dangerous elements like cigarette smoke or harmful chemicals.

Health Conditions Some health conditions, like pre­ existing diabetes, can increase a baby’s risk of having a birth defect. Diabetes is a medical condition in which the body has too much sugar (called glucose) in the blood.

Medications Taking certain medicines while pregnant, like isotretinoin (a medicine used to treat acne), can increase the risk of birth defects.

Smoking, Drinking or Using Drugs Lifestyle choices that affect your own health and well­being are likely to affect an unborn baby.

Smoking, drinking or using drugs can cause numerous problems for a baby, including birth defects.

Infections Some infections during preg­ nancy can increase the risk of birth defects and other problems. For example, if an expectant mother has a Zika infection during pregnancy, her baby may be at increased risk of having microcephaly.

Age Women who are 34 years old or older may be at increased risk of having a baby with a birth defect.
