‘The Lobster’

Actors Bryan Cranston and Colin Farrell. Photo by Pat Krause.

Colin Farrell, the 39-year-old actor talked about his new film The Lobster and discussed having to gain 40 pounds for the role.

Story and Photos by Pat Krause The Palme d’Or Theater had its last hurrah Q & A on Friday May 27th. The theatre filmed the movie “Lobster” and asked Colin Farrell to join them for this last Q & A. Actor Bryan Cranston acted as moderator, but it was just really a conversation between two very famous actors. Cranston

remarked that when Farrell came out for the Q&A that he looked so different than the actor in the film. Farrell said he had gained over 40 pounds for the role and has since lost it all and looked as handsome as ever. The theatre was once again filled to be a part to the demise of something that was so great in our Valley.

By Desert Star Staff Palm Springs, CA.– 60 Seconds to Impact was born from the idea that everyone has a voice, and it’s time for massive change in this election year.

This unique film competition – a collaboration between the Palm Springs International ShortFest and the University of California, Riverside – celebrates the fact that everyone has a voice in our democracy, and together we can impact history.

We’re asking people from around the world to create a short, non-partisan film of 60 seconds or less, explaining why they vote. Films can be live action, documentary, animation, interviews –

anything goes, as long as it’s original work. Upload the film and inspire others to get registered to vote.

Cash prizes will be awarded to the finalists, who will be announced during the 2016 Palm Springs International ShortFest, held in Palm Springs June 21-27. But the real payoff is motivating young people and first-time voters to play a role in the November 2016 U.S. election.

The theater has always tried to make the theatre a place for art and different films than the norm. Cranston called the theatre a kind of art museum for films. The coowners said that it was not a money-making operation, more of a love of movies and the stories they present. There has been a lawsuit in the works

for a long time and the judge finally agreed to a trial, but it is too late to keep the coowners here. There is a new owner for Palme d’OR and they wish them well and wish that the movie fans would let them know what they want to see. They said if they win this lawsuit against Cinemark, they would build again.

Fans asked several questions about this very strange movie. It would be hard to explain this movie in just a few paragraphs. It seemed to be a film about singles and marriage. It started in a hotel for singles that were told that if they didn’t find a partner in Continues on Page 2

Bernie Sanders at Field of Dreams

Story and Photos by Pat Krause Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders came to the Desert, and the local Democratic Party got busy and invited him to host a rally in Cathedral City. The venue that was most available was the Field of Dreams off Dinah Shore and Date Palm. This event was hastily put together, and it went off without any hitches. Security was in place, and the staging area set up on the large field.

Bernie Fans and others looking forward to hearing more from him stood in line that went from the Cathedral City Library all the way around the corner at Dinah Shore Drive, over a block long.

Thousands of people waited for the doors to open at 10 am.

People were scanned and had to walk thru medal detectors to make sure everyone would be safe. Vendors were on the walkway into the venue selling Bernie’s pins, T-shirts, placards

and other memorabilia.

A few fans entering were given placards, A Future to Believe In, and others bought signs that said Dump Trump and other Bernie Signs. A few fans brought homemade signs. One big Bernie supporter even made a huge Bernie Head that fans took photos with. Items that fans could bring to the event were limited; of course, weapons, large sticks, sharp objects and chairs were prohibited. As the thousands of fans entered the area, they were treated to music by the Gemini band.

There were a couple of speakers ahead of Bernie’s arrival. Greg Pettis welcomed Bernie to the Stage. Bernie Sanders spoke for about an hour and had the fans raising placards and hands in the air as he spoke about subjects they agreed with. Bernie’s speech included a wide range of issues like, free college, ensuring universal health care,

actor Bryan Cranston, Steve Mason, Elise Lauritzson, Mgr. Brian Tabor and director Jay Roach stood in front telling the audience that they had a great run and were happy they had this time to show the kinds of films that brought art and actors to our Desert.

The film they showed on May 26th was “ALL THE WAY,” an HBO film that starred actor Bryan Cranston as LBJ, 36th President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Cranston is amazing was encouraged. This is not a film for most filmgoers as it is hard to get your head around and understand it.

Farrell said when he gained the weight he would look into the mirror in the morning and know it was not make up. It did help him get into character in the movie.

Fans asked questions about the movie and the meaning for parts they didn’t comprehend.

Actors talked in staccato like voice and few words. Movie fans asked about the animals in the background until they realized those were people that had been turned into an

climate change, and getting big money out of politics.

He said his rallies did not include $50,000 dinners and asked if anyone had that kind of money to be there. Fans could get near the stage to get photos and videos with their cell phones and see him up close and personal. A few even got to shake his hand after his speech. His slogan in part says he is, “not the billionaires.”

He was busy touring California with his message going to Ventura, Lancaster, Pomona, Fresno, LA, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Bakersfield and more in two days.

Bernie speaks with such a fervor that fans believe he really means what he says.

He speaks mainly off the cuff with no Teleprompters. He thanked Cathedral City for inviting him. It was a perfect day weather wise, not too hot but a little windy at times.

The right questions to ask for financial advice

By Desert Star Staff Many people looking for good investments or hoping to save for retirement are wary of the very financial professionals who can help them reach their goals.

That was illustrated once again recently by the 2016 Harris Poll Reputation Quotient Report, which showed that just 37 percent of people surveyed believe the financial-services industry has a solid reputation.

The good news is that’s an improvement from past surveys. The bad news is that the pharmaceutical industry, the tobacco industry and government are the only ones with worse reputations.

Skepticism about the profession may sting a little, but there’s nothing wrong with caution when shopping for a financial professional, says Lou Desepoli, president of Desepoli Wealth Management (www.desepoliwealth.com).

“It’s important for investors to do their homework,” Desepoli says. “Don’t be timid about asking questions. A financial professional should answer any questions you have, and they should be able to provide details about fees, fiduciary standards and a client bill of rights.”

Mike Desepoli, Lou’s son and a wealth adviser at Desepoli Wealth Management, says all financial professionals may work with the same market conditions, but that doesn’t mean they are all created equal.

“How they assess, evaluate and react to the market is what sets one adviser apart from another,” he says.

The most common quorum is 51% or a majority of the voting power. “Voting power” is the number of members entitled to vote. Should some members be ineligible under the bylaws or as the result of suspension of voting rights, the voting power decreases.

Unfortunately, many associations have not been able to attain quorum for years, and so cannot elect directors.

In such associations, the boards simply appoint to fill vacancies as directors leave.

Quorum provides stability, and helps insure membership decisions have broad-based support. Except perhaps for electing directors, do not eliminate quorum minimums.

Membership decisions should be made by a representative group of members, and not a small handful.

The Corporations Code provides a “last resort” provision. Section 7515 permits a Superior Court Judge to dispense with quorum requirements, upon a finding that it is “impractical or unduly difficult” for the association to call or conduct a meeting.

This requires a court petition (legal expense), and proof that the association tried but now needs court assistance.

Don’t give up. Quorum is possible. Remind neighbors that, to paraphrase Paul Sweeney, “Democracy [in HOA’s], like love, can survive any attack— save neglect and indifference.”

HOA Homefront - Membership Quorum

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL Although most HOA decisions are made the board, some of the most important ones must be by membership vote. However, an amazing number of associations struggle to attain quorum, so no decision can be made. “Quorum” is the minimum number of members participating (in person, by ballot cast in advance, or by proxy) so that a vote can be taken. Quorum insures that a membership vote is truly a decision of the community.

Certain decisions can only be made by members, such as election or recall of directors, major assessment changes, or amending CC&R’s or bylaws. Without quorum, associations can be paralyzed in these important decisions.

Membership quorum pertains to decisions in which the deciders are not the board, but the entire community.

Vigilance Urged as Summer Swimming Season Begins

By Desert Star Staff LANSING, Mich. – Whether it’s in Lake Michigan or at a neighborhood pool, summer means swim time for folks around the state.

But no matter their level of swimming experience, all people need to use caution around water, safety experts say.

Dr. Brad Uren, an emergency physician with the University of Michigan, says first and foremost, children and adults alike should know the basics of swimming, even if they aren’t interested in the water.

“If they find themselves – if they fall off of a boat, if they fall into a pool or into water – to have that really essential

life skill of how to swim and how to save themselves, that’s critical,” he stresses.

“It can be life and death.”

And while children under age five are in the group with the highest risk of drowning, Uren says parents should keep an eye on children of all ages when they’re swimming.

In 2014, 78 people in Michigan lost their lives by drowning or submersion.

Diving is also a concern, which Uren says can result in spinal cord injury. He notes that folks should only dive in swimming pools where it is allowed, and never into natural bodies of water.

“As we know here in Michigan, winter can change things a lot,” he points out.

“Water levels can be up or down, currents can be different.

There may be rocks, trees, other submerged hazards.

So, make sure that you really know where you are, and what the hazards are.”

Uren says it’s always a good idea to swim with a buddy, and pay attention to anyone nearby.

He adds the signs of drowning are not always obvious.

“Don’t assume that because somebody seems to be slipping below the water and not splashing that they’re not actually in trouble,” he states.

“That could actually just be somebody who is physically exhausted and slipping out of sight for the last time.”

Experts say children and adults alike should know the basics of swimming.

‘Accidents happen,’ says mother of child who fell into gorilla enclosure

By Desert Star Staff The mother of a child who fell into a gorilla pit in a US zoo, which led to the animal being shot dead, has spoken out, saying, “accidents happen.” Meanwhile, the case has sparked a wave of criticism from both animal rights activists and parents.

Cincinnati Zoo visitors were shocked on Saturday to see an unattended fouryear-old boy climb through

a series of barriers and fall into a gorilla enclosure.

As seen in a video captured by terrified onlookers, the inhabitant of the enclosure, a 180-kilogram 17-year-old Western Lowland gorilla named Harambe, grabbed the boy and dragged him by the ankle for several meters.

Two female gorillas in the enclosure complied with calls from zoo-keepers to leave the cave, but Harambe stayed.

The boy was inside the gorilla cave for well over 10 minutes before being rescued after the animal was shot dead by zoo-keepers.

While for some it seemed as if the animal was protecting the child, the sight of the boy’s head banging on the concrete floor while being dragged through the enclosure led to the decision to shoot Harambe, according to the zoo’s director, Thayne Maynard.

“The gorilla was clearly agitated. The gorilla was clearly disoriented. Looking back, we would make the same decision,” Maynard told a news conference on Monday.

The zoo also released a statement saying: “We are heartbroken about losing Harambe, but a child’s life was in danger and a quick decision had to be made.”

The child’s mother, Michelle Gregg reportedly attempted to defend herself in a Facebook post that she later deleted.

“God protected my child until the authorities were able to get to him. My son is safe and was able to walk away with a concussion and a few scrapes [...] no broken bones or internal injuries.

As a society, we are quick to judge how a parent could

By Desert Star Staff COACHELLA VALLEY -At least two people were fatally injured in traffic crashes in the Coachella Valley over the Memorial Day weekend, compared to no fatalities during the previous two holiday periods, authorities said today.

California Highway Patrol officers made 18 DUI arrests over the holiday, compared to 11 arrests during the same period in

2015, according to the CHP. A crash in Thermal Saturday claimed the life of 17-year-old Luis Perez- Pacheco.

The teen was a passenger in a vehicle that rolled over at Harrison Street and Avenue 68 just after 1 a.m., causing major injuries to PerezPacheco and the car’s driver.

Perez-Pacheco was taken to John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Indio, where he

was pronounced dead at 3:32 a.m., according to the county coroner’s office.

Later Saturday, a 3-yearold girl was killed when she was ejected from a minivan near Desert Center. The crash occurred at 2:52 p.m. on eastbound Interstate 10.

The minivan overturned, injuring four people. The 3-year-old girl was pronounced dead at Loma Linda Medical Center. Source KMIR

take their eyes off of their child and if anyone knows me, I keep a tight watch on my kids. Accidents happen […],” Gregg wrote, as cited by several media outlets.

Nevertheless, animal rights activists and social media users mobilized on Monday to express their outrage over the killing of a representative of an endangered species.

Some 270,000 people signed online petitions to protest the shooting, some of which called on police to hold the child’s parents accountable.

Maynard explained, however, that tranquilizing Harambe was not even considered because “tranquilizers do not take effect for several minutes and the child was in imminent danger.

On top of that, the impact from the dart could agitate the animal and cause the situation to get much worse.”

“They made a tough choice and they made the right choice because they saved that little boy’s life,” Maynard added.

Many social media users have defended the zookeepers’ decision, saying the animal’s reaction would have been hard to predict and the child’s life was, in fact, at stake.

Animal rights activists held

a vigil for the killed primate two days after the tragic event, while campaigners have gathered outside the zoo while holding signs and placards to say their goodbyes to Harambe. They have also called for a demonstration to be held on June 5 to protest the decision to kill him.

On Tuesday, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters announced that the Cincinnati Police Department would indeed look into what happened at the zoo.

“The incident at the Cincinnati Zoo involving the young child who fell into the gorilla enclosure is under investigation by the Cincinnati Police Department,” he said in a statement. “Once their investigation is concluded, they will confer with our office on possible criminal charges.

When the investigation and review are complete, we will update the media.”

The US Department of Agriculture will also investigate after the Cincinnati-based Stop Animal Exploitation NOW filed an official complaint. The agency’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service told the AP that it will “be looking into this incident.”

35 Calif. counties expand healthcare to undocumented adults

By Desert Star Staff MARTINEZ, Calif. Dozens of California counties are expanding health care for lower-income residents as of today, no matter their immigration status. Most of the counties are in Northern California, in the Central Valley and Sierra Nevadas.

It’s part of the County Medical Services Program, which is raising its maximum income levels to qualify, from 200 percent of the poverty level to 300 percent and being undocumented is not a factor.

The program includes a limited primary-care benefit so people can see a doctor three times a year and get some prescriptions covered.

Anthony Wright, executive director for the advocacy group Health Access California, says thousands of people stand to benefit.

“A year ago, there were just nine counties that provided health care services beyond emergency care to

undocumented immigrants in California,” says Wright. “As of Monday, there will be 47.”

A new report from Health Access California details the progress made in six counties that had launched pilot programs so far.

They are Contra Costa, Fresno, Los Angeles, Monterey, Sacramento and Santa Clara counties.

The report predicts even more counties will take advantage of incentives in the new Medicaid waiver to provide at least minimal health coverage, regardless of immigration status.

Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia says since launching its pilot program last year, about 3,000 people have been enrolled.

“This investment was good from an economic standpoint, it would reduce emergency room visits,” says Gioia. “It was a benefit to everybody by improving the

By Desert Star Staff An antibiotic-resistant superbug has reached the US, sparking fears of a possible “end of the road” for antibiotics. The deadly bacterium has taken root in Pennsylvania, where a woman was tested positive for it.

In was found in April in a 49-year old woman, who arrived at a hospital in Pennsylvania, showing symptoms of an urinary tract infection, according to a study published in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, a publication of the American Society for Microbiology.

Defense Department researchers determined that the woman carried a strain of E. coli, which was first found in the UK in 2008. However, this superbug is quite unique because its genetic changes make it resistant to the antibiotic called colistin. Due to colistin’s side effects, it has been known as a last resort against multi-drug-resistant strains of bacteria, including the “nightmare bacteria” carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae, or CRE. “The recent discovery of a plasmid-borne colistin resistance gene, mcr-1, heralds the emergence of

truly pan-drug resistant bacteria,” the researches wrote. “To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of mcr-1 in the USA.” This mcr-1 gene sits on a piece of material called a plasmid and can be passed from one bacterium to another.

If it happens that an E. coli bacterium that has mcr-1 gene passes it to another superbug with other mutations, even a stronger superbug can be created and it would resists all known antibiotics.

“It basically shows us that the end of the road isn’t very far away for antibiotics – that we may be in a situation where we have patients in our intensive-care units, or patients getting urinary tract infections for which we do not have antibiotics,” CDC Director Tom Frieden said.

The scientists have also determined that the mcr-1 carrying colistinresistant E. coli is resistant to other antibiotics such as ampicillin, streptomycin, sulfisoxazole, and tetracycline.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drug-resistant germs infect more than two million people each year.

five months prior to the test, which means that it is highly possible that it has already been in the US, but unnoticed until recently. People in the area and those who were in contact with the woman will be tested as well to see if they are carrying the bacteria.

It is hard to tell how

spread this superbug is since it has been only three weeks of testing.

“We know now that the more we look, the more we are going to find,” Frieden said in a speech at the National Press Club in Washington. “The more we look at drug resistance, the more concerned we become.”

Calif. PUC Approves New Natural Gas Plant for Oxnard

Clean-energy advocates protest against a power plant proposed for Oxnard at a meeting of the California Public Utilities Commission in December. (Rene Garcia/CAUSE)

peaker plant backed by NRG Energy, would be the fourth power plant in this lowincome coastal city about 50 miles north of Los Angeles.

Oxnard Mayor Pro-Tem Carmen Ramirez said the PUC should have put it off until a review can be done that takes environmental justice into account.

“We’ve done our part,” she said. “And it’s time for the Public Utilities Commission to get off fossil fuel, to treat minority communities such as ours fairly, to share the burden and not create these ‘sacrifice zones’ – which is our city.”

Clean-energy advocates voiced their opposition at today’s PUC meeting in San Francisco.

Despite the nod from the PUC, the project still needs

the thumbs-up from the California Energy Commission, which isn’t expected to rule until later this year.

Lucas Zucker, policy director of the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE), said Oxnard has been a dumping ground for polluting industries for decades.

“People in Oxnard already are dealing with negative environmental impacts from existing power plants, from a lot of industrial facilities, and from pesticides, and this is only going to contribute to that, another layer,” he said.

Zucker also alleges the Puente plant would dump methane gas and a half-million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year.

By Desert Star Staff SAN FRANCISCO - The California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) voted

today to approve a permit for a new gas-fired power plant in the City of Oxnard, over the objections of the

Oxnard City Council and local clean energy advocates.

By Desert Star Staff SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - A biotech firm with facilities in California will pay $3.5 million in a settlement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture for violating the federal Animal Welfare Act. Santa Cruz Biotechnology has admitted no wrongdoing, but will lose its dealer’s license and registration as a laboratory. This means it can no longer conduct research with animals, such as goats and rabbits, that are protected under federal law.

Matthew Liebman, chief legal counsel for the Animal Legal Defense Fund, says the alleged violations were discovered during routine federal inspections, and mainly involve denying proper veterinary care.

“There are cases of

animals with coyote bites left untreated. There was an animal with a baseball-sized tumor on her neck that was untreated,” says Liebman. “There were animals who Santa Cruz Biotechnology’s own veterinarian had recommended for euthanasia, yet the facility kept them alive and continued to draw blood from them.”

Santa Cruz Biotechnology did not respond to a request for comment.

According to Liebman, the groundbreaking fine is 10 times the amount of any previous animal-cruelty sanction. He says the company, as part of its operations, injects animals with proteins or disease so they produce antibodies, then sells the antibody-laden blood for use in scientific research.

Liebman says his organization had sued the

company in state court, but that suit was dismissed because of the federal investigation. He says now, the Animal Legal Defense Fund is appealing that dismissal.

“They’re still free to produce antibodies using mice and rats and other animals that aren’t covered under federal law, and cause them immense suffering.

So, under state law, that conduct would be cruel,” says Liebman. “So, our argument is that our lawsuit ought to be reinstated so that those animals who aren’t protected by federal law still receive the benefit of state law.”

According to the settlement, Santa Cruz Biotechnology was also accused of lying to investigators about the existence of a barn

that housed animals for experimentation. The company reported owning

more than 9,000 animals in 2014, and almost twice that number in 2011.

The $25 million study from the National Toxicology Program prompted a skeptical New York Times video, saying overall brain tumor rates have not skyrocketed along with cellphone use.

But Louis Slesin, editor of Microwave News, notes a major Times shareholder is a global wireless magnate.

He points to a USC report that said the same types of tumors rats developed in this study have increased in humans. Slesin says he’s glad to see other influential groups changing their stance.

“The American Cancer Society and Consumer Reports, which have been deeply skeptical for the last 15 years, have done a 180,” he says. “And now, they’re saying that this is a paradigm shift that needs to be taken seriously,

and we need to do more.”

Slesin recommends people moderate their cellphone use, use earbuds, store cellphones away from their bodies and limit children’s access to wireless devices.

L. Lloyd Morgan, a research fellow with the nonprofit Environmental Health Trust, says cellphone companies could issue warnings, or make the phones safer - but won’t, because that could trigger consumer lawsuits.

“If you recognize there’s a hazard, you have immediate liability for that,” says Morgan.

“So, they refuse to admit there’s a problem. In fact, they continue to say there’s absolutely no evidence.”

Dr. Joel Moskowitz, director for University of California-Berkeley, thinks

the government should issue clear warnings about cellphone use and revise current regulations, which are only based on the risk of overheating and not other known effects of radiation.

“We need to carefully review the current limit on what a cellphone or cellphone tower is allowed to emit,” says Moskowitz. “And we need to develop safer guidelines or standards. We should also be encouraging industry to develop technology that uses less radiation.”

CTIA, the wireless industry association, has said it’s reviewing the study and emphasized previous studies that showed no established health effects from radio-frequency signals used in cellphones.

By Desert Star Staff Swiss scientists have come up with a novel way to consume medical marijuana with fewer of the harmful effects. All you need is a vaping apparatus and some butane hash oil.

The invention is a deceptively simple alternative to more established weed products like pills, skin patches, suppositories, sprays and syrups. After all, there’s the flavor to consider.

However, the e-cigarette, as it’s called, will also take away the more harmful effects of smoking a joint. “Therapeutic cannavaping� actually came out of an idea first floated by recreational marijuana smokers on online forums. It uses butane gas to trap cannabinoids and bind them together. And you get none of the bad effects from using tobacco – a frequent ingredient to make joints burn more smoothly.

A vape pen is used as the tool for smoking. So, in essence, it’s a streamlining of two pre-existing ideas into something userfriendlier for people who rely on the medical benefits of smoking weed. “We were inspired by what is done illegally, underground, on the web fora,� Vincent Varlet, a coauthor of the study and biochemist and toxicologist at the University Centre of Legal Medicine in Lausanne, told AFP. “Normally, they use this form of cannabinoids to get high. Based on what is done illegally, we found that it could be interesting,� he added.

When the butane and hash oil are combined into

the composite BHO (butane hash oil), the concentration of THCa is about 70-80 percent. High temperature treatment turns this into THC (tetrahydrocannabinol – the active ingredient in cannabis).

Turning this into a commercially-available e-cigarette appears a nobrainer. The producer can regulate THC concentration and sell different strengths of the stuff.

Consumption is done via the vape machines. “Cannavaping appears to be a gentle, efficient, user-friendly and safe alternative method for cannabis smoking for medical cannabis delivery,� and all of that thanks to “the creativity of cannabis users,� the authors say in the study, published in Nature.

Although the jury is still out on the actual long-term effects of vaping, it does appear to be more health-friendly, the obvious advantage being

Using e-cigarettes to smoke weed

the absence of tobacco.

Asked how the high from the e-joint would compare to the real deal, the team said about 80 puffs will be needed with a 10 percent BHO liquid (the stronger version of the three they plan to roll out). So, if you’re locked in a room with one of these things, but do not suffer from cancer, it will be about 75 more puffs before you can feel similar effects. “The take-home message of our article is that vaping is less harmful than smoking, so you can be sure that cannavaping is less harmful

HOROSCOPES ARIES

The month ahead sees you working towards and within your sense of values. If you don’t actually know your values, then observe yourself – actions, focus, communication.

Note you’re slower than usual, caring for what you love (and value) with extra care.

You see your ambition, the acquiring of possessions, your impatience or impulsiveness.

Your senses are more alive.

You eat more. You’re taking on the sturdy and consistent virtues of Taurus. A good thing!

TAURUS You have Vulcan’s volcanic ability to forge lead into gold.

Having so many abilities, you learn to share a few. Sharing is new to you. You research the causes of things. Some call this studying conspiracy theories.

But actually, those theories often end up to be true.

You’re more energetic, active, forceful and even, at times, overly assertive (shocking!).

Rarely are you this way. It’s the planet Mars (the 9 tests) retrograde, playing havoc in your opposite sign of Scorpio!

Verizon, labor union reach deal in principle ending 6-week strike

By Desert Star Staff Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez has announced that a deal has been reached between telecommunications giant Verizon and unions representing 39,000 workers, ending a six-week strike over cuts to pensions and pay.

The strike started on April 13 when some 35,000 workers walked off the job, making it the largest strike in US history. The striking workers included network technicians and customer service representatives in the company’s FIOS Internet, telephone and television services unit.

Described by Perez as a “tentative resolution,” Verizon’s workers, unions and management have reached an agreement in principle on a four-year contract.

“Throughout the past 13 days of negotiations at the Department of Labor, I have observed firsthand the parties’ good faith commitment to narrowing differences and forging an agreement that helps workers

and the company,” Perez said in a statement Friday.

Perez also said that he expects “that workers will be back on the job next week,” before commending all parties involved “for their commitment to resolving these difficult issues in the spirit of constructive engagement.”

The strike saw between 36,000 and 39,000 members of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) argue that, with the company making $1.8 billion in profits a month, Verizon shouldn’t cut pensions, benefits and pay.

There were reports of up to 57 “suspected incidents of sabotage” to Verizon equipment in the first two weeks of the strike alone, particularly in New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts.

This included fiber optic cabling and phones lines being sliced or cut, causing power outages and services being dropped, including access to some 911 emergency services.

Although Verizon

hired 10,000 temporary replacements for the striking workers, the company struggled to meet demand.

Last Thursday, the telecom’s chief financial officer admitted that new orders for and installations of its fiber-optic network, called FIOS, had “significantly dropped,” causing Verizon shares to slip by 1.49 percent.

The strike is also expected to affect the June 1, 2016

latest employment figures because the striking workers, who were not paid while off the job, were classified as being unemployed during this period.

Nonfarm payroll growth is expected to be depressed in May’s figures by at least 35,000, according to Reuters.

The strike gained nationwide attention on its first day, when both Democratic candidates for president,

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, met with protesters.

Sanders also endorsed the unions’ demands.

At the beginning of May, the CWA officially filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission, accusing Verizon of using “institutional deception” to bully customers into switching over to FIOS.

E N T E RTA I N M E N T DVDs for Dad --Masterpiece Mystery and Civil War History

BY THEDA KLEINHANS REICHMAN

Father’s Day, June 19, is almost around the corner, so in that spirit, here are few suggestions for Dad’s Day gift giving. If Dad is a mystery fan, check out PBS’s Masterpiece Mystery Series “Grantchester” which has at this moment completed its second season. Now both seasons are attainable on Bluray and DVD. If Dad is a history buff, you can’t go wrong with the 25th anniversary edition of Ken Burns “The Civil War” also on hand from PBS. And if dad is a fast-paced action fan, check out “London Has Fallen,” available from Universal Pictures on June 14—just in the nick of time.

The highly entertaining

“Grantchester” PBS Mystery series is based on the novels of James Runcie. The initial season began with “Sidney Chambers and The Shadow of Death,” the first novel in the “Grantchester Mystery” series.

Other Grantchester novels include: “Sidney Chambers and the Perils of the Night” (2013),Sidney Chambers and the Problem of Evil” (2014),Sidney Chambers and the Forgiveness of Sins” (2015) and “Sidney Chambers and the Dangers of Temptation” (2016). If dad is an avid reader, you may want to check out the novels as well as another possible gift item.

In the series, Sidney Chambers is a young,

engaging. His religious insights also ring true since his father, Robert Runcie, was a former Archbishop of Canterbury.

In season two, the year is 1954 and Sidney is living a quiet life, focused on his duties and on his congregation. But things are never easy for long and Sidney and Geordie soon find themselves faced with a new round of mysteries, including an apparent suicide with Cold War overtones, a haunted stable and a shocking homicide investigation that will test the limits of their strong friendship. And the good news is— there will be a third “Grantchester” series coming in the future.

DVD special features for Season Two include: Making of Granchester, Back to Grantchester and The Trouble with Sidney and Geordie.

We also meet Amanda, the love of Sidney’s life, his warm but somewhat dour housekeeper and Leonard, his assistant pastor.

In question were seven past city officials; prior City Manager Alan Kapanica, Chief of Police Frank Coe, Jr., Planning Director, Ernest Alois Egger, Joseph Alf, City Attorney, William Aylward.

After fifteen years mastering the art of obfuscation, these seven suspects were arrested and now facing felony charges; involving embezzlement by a public official, conspiracy and misappropriation of funds. Collectively, they devised methods of diverting taxpayer funds from Mello Roos Bonds into their own pockets. By definition, Mello Roos Bonds were created to pay for property

infrastructure improvements and services. To date, date $43 million designated for these purposes were never used for the purpose intended.

After fifteen years of asking Beaumont’s city officials, Judith Bingham still wanted answers despite being stonewalled.

“The number of suspects could be higher if the bank that services as trustee of the funds releases a detailed accounting of the Bond activity,” said Mr. Horwitz adding that to date the bank could not locate these records. What is known according to Ms. Bingham is that repeated attempts to have Beaumont’s city officials produce to have been ignored as a last resort she reached out to Mr. Horwitz in a lastditch effort to solve the mystery of the missing tax dollars paid by Beaumont property

“I Only Have Eyes For You” – The Life and Lyrics of Al Dubin”

With two beautiful dancers at his feet, (L-R) Kim Louise Taylor and Katherine Tokarz , Elijah Rock as Cab Calloway gives a show-stopping rendition of “Lulu’s Back in Town.” Photo by Michael Lamont “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Tip Toe Through the Tulips,” “I Only Have Eyes For You,” “We’re in the Money,” “Lulu’s Back in Town,” “September in the Rain,” and “42nd Street.” These are just a few of the iconic songs with lyrics

by Al Dubin, and most of the music by Harry Warren.

They were written for both theatre and film and occupy a permanent place in the Great American Songbook. This prolific team worked with Busby Berkeley, well played

by Robert Pieranunzi, at Warner Bros. studios. Their joint collaboration changed the face of musical films.

Their combined effort on “42nd” Street” garnered them Academy Award consideration for Best Film, which actually went to “Cavalcade” and was presented at the 6th Academy Awards ceremony in March 1934.

The story of a very troubled genius, brought to life by Jared Gertner, is told through “I Only Have Eyes For You, ” and is currently on stage at the Montalban Theatre.

Despite a valiant effort, this production is uneven so here’s the good news first: Producer

Corky Hale has assembled one of the best technical teams in Los Angeles theatre who succeeded in a creating a look worthy of a Broadway stage. That extraordinary team consists of John Iacovelli’s Set Design, Debra McGuire’s period Costume Design, Brandon Baruch’s Lighting Design, and the always-reliable Cricket Myers’ Sound Design.

The poorly written book

by Jerry Leichtling and Arlene Sarner tells the story of a conflicted Dubin who struggled with alcoholism, gambling, and womanizing, all of which impacted on both his personal and professional lives. The fact that he achieved such great success, despite his addictions, is miraculous. Gertner as Dubin, tries to mine the layers and layers of this complicated man, but succeeds more on the musical aspects than the non-musical scenes. The romantic story that plays out over decades is between Dubin and the love of his life Helen, who he marries early in his career. A talented Nikki Bohne as his wife soars in the musical numbers, but not so much in the non-musical narrative.

Their duets were sweet but aging her with a gray wig in the second act was well, a bit hokey, since her husband stays forever young. As he becomes more and more successful in his career, this incredible lyricist

The dancers are seated in a long row of chairs and wearing brightly colored red costumes, execute the movements in sharp precision. So the question is this: Was Miss Cole creating new movements or was she trying to recreate the movements germane to dance routines of that particular era, in which case not having anything original would be appropriate.

On the other hand, if she was creating “new” movement from scratch, then we would have to say what we saw, although well executed, was unoriginal and has been seen throughout the years on many Broadway musical stages.

It’s easy to play Mondaymorning quarterback, but if the story was narrated, instead of having dialogue scenes between the actors, which was the poorest part of the evening, the musical numbers would stand on their own and not be

begins writing with Johnny Mercer. The narrative takes us through Dubin’s self-destructive behavior with some of the musical numbers reflecting both his musical brilliance as well as particular moments in his life that illustrate the unraveling of a tormented soul.

With musical direction by Gerald Sternbach, there are fun production numbers with “famous” singers including “About a Quarter to Nine,” sung by Justin Michael Wilcox as Al Jolson with Kayla Parker as Ruby Keeler. Wilcox’s Jolson is a self-centered egocentric man always seeking the spotlight, contrasted by a very sweet, understanding Keeler.

Renee Marino as Carmen Miranda sings a rousing “South American Way.” And yes. She wears the bowl of fruit on her head and is surrounded by young, beautiful, dancing men.

A major highlight of the show is Elijah Rock as Cab Calloway

June 1, 2016

who, with two gorgeous ladies at his feet, tears up the stage as he gives a show-stopping rendition of “Lulu’s Back in Town.” Valerie Perri as Minna sings a gentle interpretation of “September in the Rain.” Near the end of Act II, Dubin has hit bottom and sings “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” but with a Hollywood happy ending, reprises the love between he and Helen with “I Only Have Eyes for You.” The book stops at this particular point as in real life, Dubin did not enjoy a happy ending at all.

The production was directed and choreographed by Kay Cole, who has a long list of credits and perhaps therein lies the rub, as we do not see one original piece of movement in this production. What we do see are very familiar dance sequences, which are exquisitely executed. The most outstanding numbers are a tap dance by the ensemble and the visually stunning dance

diminished by a faulty book resulting in a non-connected story line and stilted acting. All that said however, if you want to see a Broadway-caliber production, even with all the faults inherent in the book, you will leave the theatre dazzled by the wonderful sets and definitely humming the score.

2016 Scripps National Spelling Bee Declares Co-Champions

By Desert Star Staff Jairam Hathwar (JAY-rahm HATH-wahr), a 13-year-old speller from Painted Post, New York, and Nihar Janga (neeHAHR jenga), an 11-year-old speller from Austin, Texas, are co-champions of the 2016 Scripps National Spelling Bee, presented by Kindle.

It was a marathon finish for these two outstanding competitors. In the 39th round, Hathwar correctly spelled “Feldenkrais,” a medical term used for a system of aided body movements intended to increase bodily awareness and ease tension. Janga immediately followed by spelling “gesellschaft,” which means a rationally developed mechanistic type of social relationship characterized by impersonally contracted associations between persons.

With these correct spellings, the Scripps National Spelling Bee declared co-champions for the third year in a row.

The final two words were the crowning achievement of an impressive performance.

Hathwar and Janga tackled every difficult word and lasted through all 39 rounds, including 24 rounds of headto-head competition. The Scripps National Spelling Bee introduced a new format this year for the final three competitors. Once the competition reached the final three spellers in Round 16, the rules for this year changed from the previous year’s 25word pre-determined list to a maximum of 25 rounds in

which each speller received a word in each round.

This was Hathwar’s second time and Janga’s first time participating in the National Finals. Hathwar’s brother Sriram Hathwar was a co-champion in 2014.

Rich Boehne, chairman, president and CEO of The E.W. Scripps Company, declared Hathwar and Janga co-champions and awarded them engraved championship trophies moments before ESPN signed off from its national broadcast of the 89th Scripps National Spelling Bee. “Hathwar and Janga both proved their depth of knowledge of root words and word origins to master round after round of some of the most challenging words in the English language,” said Boehne. “The entire week was a showcase of very talented students who have dedicated so much time and effort to this skill. Scripps commends their performance, and every year we take great pride in our stewardship of the nation’s largest and longest-running educational program.”

Hathwar represents Corning Rotary Club in Corning, New York, in this year’s competition. He is a 7th-grade student at The Alternative School for Math and Science. Janga represents Houston Public Media in Houston, Texas, in this year’s competition. He is a 5th-grade student at River Ridge Elementary School.

This was Janga’s first year at the Scripps National Spelling Bee. He is also among the youngest competitors to ever win the champion title.

The competition began Tuesday with 285 spellers who advanced to the Scripps National Spelling Bee after beating the odds to reach this level. They are among the top 0.000026 percent of more than 11 million students who initially participated in spelling bees held in classrooms, schools and locally sponsored events around the country.

Bee Week took place in the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

Round-by-round results are available at spellingbee.com.

The champions each receive:

From Scripps: a $40,000 cash prize and the Scripps National Spelling Bee engraved trophy From Kindle: $2,500 for books and Kindle eBooks on Amazon.com, 100 Kindle e-readers for the champion’s school and the opportunity to appear in a Kindle print advertisement From Merriam-Webster: a $2,500 U.S. savings bond and a complete reference library From Encyclopedia Brittannica: $400 of reference works, including a 1768 Encyclopaedia Britannica Replica Set Deluxe Edition and a three-year membership to Britannica Online Premium As the Scripps National Spelling Bee co-champions, Hathwar and Janga will begin a whirlwind victory tour early Friday, with numerous national networks and publications,

entertainment programs and digital media platforms including “Good Morning America,” “Today Show,” “Wall Street Journal,” “Live with Kelly,” “CNN” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” For the first time ever, the co-champions of the Scripps National Spelling Bee also will travel to Wall Street to ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, June 1.

Snehaa Ganesh Kumar (SNAY-HAH gan-esh koomar) of Folsom, California, representing The Sacramento Bee, placed third in the competition. The Scripps National Spelling Bee substantially increased the cash prizes for all top finishers this year. The prize for placing behind the co-champions increased from $7,500 last year to $20,000 for 2016.

Microsoft, Facebook to lay giant cable under Atlantic

By Desert Star Staff Tech giants Microsoft and Facebook say they will build the “highest-capacity subsea cable to ever cross the Atlantic,” connecting the US and Europe to address heightened demand for global cloud services.

The “MAREA” cable will “help meet the growing www.desertstarweekly.com

customer demand for high speed, reliable connections for cloud and online services” for the two companies, Microsoft said Thursday. MAREA’s estimated bandwidth capacity will reach 160 terabits per second, the company said, and will have eight fiber pairs instead of two, which is

common for such cables.

The 6,600km (4,101 mile) submarine cable system will span from Virginia Beach, Virginia, to Bilbao, Spain, becoming the first cable of its kind to connect the US and Southern Europe, Microsoft said. The cable system will be managed and run by Telxius, June 1, 2016

infrastructure company created by Spanish telecom giant Telefónica in February.

“Microsoft and Facebook designed MAREA to be interoperable with a variety of networking equipment,” Microsoft said in its announcement. “This new ‘open’ design brings significant benefits for customers: lower costs and easier equipment upgrades which leads to faster growth in bandwidth rates since the system can evolve at the pace of optical technology innovation.”

The project will start in August and is expecting to take 14 months to complete.

The companies did not offer information on the projected cost of the work.

Undersea cables of this kind are common, but these projects are typically developed through larger partnerships among telecom and technology companies. Last year, Microsoft said it had joined a group of Asian companies to construct a cable — the New Cross Pacific Cable Network — to cross the Pacific Ocean.

‘Over 5,000 US soldiers killed since 9/11’ – Marine Corps general

By Desert Star Staff In the 15 years since the 9/11 tragedy, which itself saw over 3,000 people killed and spawned America’s war on terror, a further 5,000 Americans have been killed in military action beyond US borders, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford has said.

In a Memorial Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff praised the 40 million Americans who have served in US forces since George Washington’s times.

“Some supported the birth of the revolution, more recently, others have answered the call to confront terrorism,” Dunford said.

“Along the way, more than 1 million Americans have given the last full measure,” he stated, listing the conflicts of the past century that have claimed American lives – all of them on foreign land.

“Over 100,000 in World

War I. Over 400,000 in World War II. Almost 40,000 in Korea. Over 58,000 in Vietnam. And over 5,000 have been killed in action since 9/11,” he stated.

“Today is a reminder of the real cost of freedom, the real cost of security, and that’s the human cost,” Dunford concluded.

The solemn speech in remembrance of the lost American lives comes as the US boosts its presence in conflict zones, even those where “no boots on the ground” were earlier promised.

Last month the Pentagon announced that the US will deploy 217 troops and Apache helicopters to Iraq as part of operations against jihadist group Islamic State.

The additional troops will bring the number of US soldiers in Iraq to 4,087.

The US-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes against IS in Iraq and Syria since mid-2014. But the US involvement in Syria

confirmed plans late last month to dramatically increase the American troop presence in Syria by deploying an additional 250 personnel to “support local forces fighting ISIL,” bringing the total to 300.

Obama, who won the presidency back in 2008 and pledged to bring peace to the Middle East, first broke his promise of no “American boots on the ground in Syria” when he sent 50 US special operations forces to Syria last year. He stressed that the move was a “counterterrorism” measure rather than a step closer to a ground invasion. His decision raised concerns over the previous failures of the US train-and-equip program that dealt with unreliable opposition fighters, however.

The Pentagon gave up on the training part of the project in October last year, after senior Obama administration officials admitted that the US had only trained a handful of fighters, despite the program’s $500 million budget. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said at the time, though, that US-provided equipment allowed local forces to “make significant gains” against IS. It was revealed in September that one group of trainees had surrendered one quarter of their US-supplied weapons, ammunition, and vehicles in exchange for safe passage through territory held by another rebel group affiliated with Al-Qaeda.

The Case for Limited Government

By Lee H. Hamilton It has been 35 years since Ronald Reagan’s first inaugural speech as President — the one in which he said, “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”

Over that time, hostility toward government seems only to have grown, led by politicians and embraced by millions of Americans. In this most recent presidential campaign, Republican candidates outdid one another in calling to abolish the agencies they were running to lead, including the IRS, the Department of Education, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Energy.

I find all this troubling.

Not because I think those agencies — or the government as a whole — are faultless, but because I don’t see how a democratic society and market economy can function without an effective government. Capitalism and a representative democracy may

need to function separately for this nation to be strong, prosperous, and free, but they also need to work together.

In fact, I’d argue that limited government is more often part of the solution than it is a problem. It funds core functions — infrastructure, basic research, the court system, education, anti-crime efforts, national security — that allow private markets and the private sector as a whole to flourish. It sustains national parks, interstate highways, libraries, medical research, the air traffic control system and other services that make this a vibrant society.

It strives to protect Americans from hazardous food and drugs, unsafe workplaces, discriminatory employers, and toxic polluters. It has played a key role in asserting fairness for minorities, women and the most vulnerable people in our society.

This is not to say that government does not overreach, or that it always

performs as it should. On occasion, its leaders make poor and misguided decisions; its legislators, however well intentioned, create wasteful and unneeded programs. And every time something like this happens, there are many of us waiting to bash government.

When it performs as it should, on the other hand, few people notice and even fewer of us stand up to defend it.

But let’s get real here.

What’s the alternative?

We’re not going to do away with government, give unfettered free rein to the market, and hope that someone decides to try to make a go of delivering core services. Nor are we going to go all out and establish government ownership of the means of production.

Instead, we have to make the sometimes comfortable, sometimes-uneasy coexistence of the market and the government work.

So it’s crucial for our political leaders to hit a pragmatic note and strive

constantly to find the right balance between the two. To debate and then establish in clear terms where government should and should not be active. To test what works and what does not and then pursue the former and shut down the latter. To work hard to wring duplication out of the bureaucracy and rigorously pursue efficient, effective, and accountable government. To make sure that enforcement of the law is both tough and fair. And to recognize that their focus on policy needs to be balanced by a focus on effective management and implementation of programs.

The fact is, government has not changed much in size over the decades. For the last 50 years, federal net outlays have fluctuated between about 16 and 20 percent of GDP, with the occasional dip below or spike above. The total federal workforce stood at 5 million in 1964 and 4.2 million 50 years later. Whether it’s a Republican or a Democrat in

office, government doesn’t seem to be going away.

Nor, really, do most people seem to want it to. As a politician, you can always get applause for quoting the old Thoreau line (which he in turn paraphrased), “That government is best which governs least.” But start listing what government does that affects people’s everyday lives, and you’ll see members of that same audience nod their heads in agreement. It’s the balance between limited government and the private sector that it’s our job constantly to assess, debate, and get right.

Lee Hamilton is a Senior Advisor for the Indiana University Center on Representative Government; a Distinguished Scholar, IU School of Global and International Studies; and a Professor of Practice, IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 34 years.

MUSIC Sixties Sounds celebrated in the 21st century

BY ROBERT KINSLER

Three of the Sixties’ most enduring and celebrated rock artists are highlighted via outstanding new releases, while singer-actress Doris Day’s wonderful 1967-tracked collection “Love Album” has been reissued as a deluxe edition with bonus tracks.

Artist: The Rolling Stones Title: Totally Stripped (Eagle Rock Entertainment) You might like if you enjoy: The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger Tell me more: Even casual fans of the Rolling Stones will want to grab “Totally Stripped,” an amazing collection featuring gems mined at a series of recording sessions in Tokyo, Japan and intimate European concert dates in 1995. The material on “Totally Stripped” reveals the legendary British rockers exploring the core of many of their most beloved classics and masterfully reworking a couple of covers, the entire affair featured on a 14-track audio CD (with an accompanying DVD providing performance footage and interviews providing insight into the project). The performances here are flat-out awesome, from a potent “Dead Flowers,” countrified “Shine a Light”

and inspired “Gimme Shelter” to the speedy blues rocker “Rip This Joint” and rollicking “Street Fighting Man.” “Totally Stripped” is available as a DVD or SD Blu-ray containing the newly-revised documentary on a DVD+CD or DVD+LP. Additionally a DVD or SD Bluray deluxe edition available, packaged with a 60-page hard book set containing five discs, is available.

Information: eagle-rock.com and rollingstones.com.

Artist: The Monkees Title: Good Times! (Rhino) You might like if you enjoy: The Monkees, Weezer, Fountains of Wayne, XTC Tell me more: The magic that plays out across the Monkees’ aptly-named “Good Times!” is the mythical likes of which conjures up smiles and tears all at the same time. Guided and produced with a master’s touch by the gifted Adam Schlesinger (of Fountains of Wayne fame), “Good Times!” is the Monkees’ first new collection in nearly 20 years and ranks as one of the group’s best albums ever. The infectious power-pop selections “She Makes Me Laugh” (penned by Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo) and “Our Own

World” (written by Schlesinger), as well as the piano-anchored baroque pop masterpiece “Me & Magdalena” penned

by Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard) are the most accessible tunes on the 13song set, but to be sure brilliant songcraft abounds everywhere.

Pete Tork’s original “Little Girl” is a wistful and affecting ballad; the late Davy Jones’ tenor shines on a cover of Neil Diamond’s “Love to Love” (work on the track began in early 1967, and was completed earlier this year). For those who loved the Monkees deepening artistry showcased on their third disc “Headquarters” and subsequent “Head” soundtrack, just get a listen of the amazing “Birth of an Accidental Hipster” (cowritten by Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller) and the deeplyaffecting Michael Nesmith-sung original “I Know What I Know.”

Information: rhino.com.

Artist: Eric Clapton Title: I Still Do (Bushbranch / Surfdog) You might like if you enjoy: Eric Clapton, JJ Cale Tell me more: While British blues guitar masters such as Alvin Lee (Ten Years After), Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page built

their reputations on speedy guitar work, Eric Clapton always used velocity in the service of groundbreaking grooves and a deft touch (think “Cocaine,” “Let It Rain” or “I Shot the Sheriff”) that allowed him to be flashy even during more laid back material (including ballads, as evidenced by “Wonderful Tonight”). On his 23rd solo album I Still Do, Clapton offers up a sterling collection of original gems and lovingly-rendered covers that prove Clapton remains an artist of unique and special significance. On “Spiral,” Clapton and his supporting players rise and fall like the sea, his beautiful lead guitar lines swirling amidst the nuanced performance around him.

Clapton digs deep into old-time blues via a take on Skip James’ “Cypress Grove” and Robert Johnson’s timeless “Stones In My Passway,”and masterfully turns Bob Dylan’s “I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine” into a poignant gospel blues hymn.

Information: EricClapton.com.

Artist: Doris Day Title: Love Album (Varèse Sarabande Records) You might like if you enjoy: Doris Day Tell me more: Singer-

actress Doris Day was 43 but still at the height of her vocal powers when she recorded the tracks that would eventually comprise “Love Album” in May and June 1967. As music writer Will Friedwald notes in the liner notes on the outstanding 2016 reissue of “Love Album,” changing priorities of the music industry as well as the death of Day’s husband Marty Melcher shortly after the tracks were recorded seemed to forecast the incredible versions of Irving Berlin’s “All Alone,” the Victor Young-Samuel Lewis composition “Street of Dreams” and a range of other popular classics from the 1920s and ‘30s might never be heard.

Fortunately, audiences who adore the Great American Songbook as well as one of the most acclaimed singers of the 20th century will want to get this release, which features amazing audio and truly displays Day’s incredible vocal performances. Bonus tracks include three songs Day recorded for a television special broadcast, including a beautiful rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now.” Information: VareseSarabande.com

APN: 768-250-001-5 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 $102,674.91. 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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000005797600.

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.

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 best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid.

How to Gift the Right Watch

By Desert Star Staff Whether it’s a birthday or a graduation, the gift-giving stakes are high on special occasions, and often, there is very little room for error.

While flowers and edibles are a great way to show you care, you may want to indulge your recipient with something longer lasting. For the perfect gift, consider a timeless classic -- a watch to suit his or her personal style. But remember, one watch will not fit all personalities or lifestyles.

“The right watch can nurture the spirit of individuality and communicate one’s sense of style,” says Matthew Shell, vice president of product development at watch brand Armitron.

With that in mind, Shell offers these suggestions for finding the right watch for your loved one: • The trendsetter: For those who love looking their best, coordination of accessories is key. So whether

you opt for a genuine leather strap or a bracelet watch, look for a versatile timepiece that can transition from day to night or be dressed down or dressed up depending on the occasion. Before making a selection, consider your recipient’s favorites -- taking preferences like gold versus silver and vintage versus modern into account.

• The athlete: Enhance your loved one’s training efforts with a bold, sporty watch built to move. For example, Armitron Pro-Sport Digital watches feature lap timing, stop watches and chronographs to help runners, swimmers and other athletes push past their goals.

Water resistant to 330 feet, this category of watches offers multicolored dials, soft touch resin straps, chrome bezels and silver tone buckle closures.

• The sentimentalist: If your gift recipient already has a favorite watch for everyday wear, consider something elegant that can -- but doesn’t

have to be -- reserved for special occasions. For instance, a bangle watch functions as jewelry and timepiece, putting form and function on the same level. Or for him, a watch featuring a diamond dial.

• The confident one: For the confident man, consider an automatic watch that

does not require batteries to operate. The stainless steel automatic watch from Armitron has a skeleton movement and luminous dials.

To mark an occasion successfully, consider the classic gift of a watch to show that your love is timeless. StatePoint

Watchdog Sues Feds Over Los Alamos Nuke Waste Removal

By Desert Star Staff SANTA FE, N.M. - A nuclear energy watchdog group has filed suit against the U.S. Department of Energy and a federal contractor for failing to clean up nuclear and toxic waste at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

The suit claims waste stored at a lab site known as “Area G” hasn’t been removed despite a 2005 consent order to do so.

Jay Coghlan, executive director of Nuclear Watch New Mexico, says the DOE and its contractor, Los Alamos National Security or LANS, has done little more than kick the can down the road.

“We are alleging 12 counts, and it’s pretty much indisputable, where they have missed compliance milestone deadlines,” says Coghlan.

“So, that’s what our lawsuit’s about, to try and compel the

lab to meet those deadlines, which have passed.”

Coghlan says the New Mexico Environment Department is revising its 2005 consent order to extend the deadline beyond 2018 to clean up the dumpsite.

But he says there is a loophole, for it to be enforceable Congress would have to OK enough funds to complete the project.

Today is the last

day for public comment on the revisions.

Coghlan says under the original consent order, DOE and LANS a partnership that includes Bechtel Corporation and the University of California have racked up and not yet paid more than $300 million in fines for missing deadlines.

He thinks they should be forced to pay and to complete the work they’ve already been paid billions to perform.

“There is an estimated 200,000 cubic yards of mixed waste, both radioactive and hazardous,” says Coghlan.

“The lab’s idea (of) cleaning up is capping and covering them, and leaving them permanently buried.”

The DOE says it will not renew the LANS contract when it expires in 2017, but has issued a Request For Proposals for a new contract for waste cleanup at the lab.

The value of the new contract will be about $1.7 billion over a 10-year period.

Old Globe stages a compelling play surrounding the 1978 Mid-East peace accords

From left: Richard Thomas as Jimmy Carter, Khaled Nabawy as Anwar Sadat, and Ned Eisenberg as Menachem Begin

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Contrary to what our current Congress seems incapable of doing what it should be doing when it comes to compromise, or to put it in Washington, DC, vernacular to practice ‘the art of the deal’ so loved by our politicians and others who seek public office these days.

Bringing disparate parties and points of view to a resolution in any situation is not an easy task. In international diplomacy it’s especially difficult and frustrating when it appears that the stars are beginning to align with an agreement in sight, only to have the negotiations breakdown once again by entrenched positions where nobody wants to appear as having ‘given in’.

Back in 1978 then U.S. President Jimmy Carter took on the role of being a peace-maker and broker, bringing Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat together at Camp David in Maryland, for discussions on how to craft a peace accord between the two sworn enemies that fought four wars over their differences.

It was an ambitious and daunting undertaking.

“Camp David” is a riveting and informative play written

by Lawrence Wright, that is insightfully directed by Washington’s Arena Stage’s artistic director Molly Smith starring four gifted actors: Richard Thomas as President Jimmy Carter, Broadway’s Ned Eisenberg as Menachem Begin, Hallie Foote as Rosalyn Carter, and Egyptian film star Khaled Nabawy as Anwar Sadat. Bryan Banville and Jon Maxwell play Marines assigned to the guard the participants.

In Wright’s stage play we are like flies on the wall who pierce the veil of high level international diplomatic chess-like verbal games played by two world leaders who are reluctant to give an inch when the discussions begin. Wright’s premise of what takes place over 13 days www.desertstarweekly.com

allows the audience to view the human side of each player, the same way the characters learn to interact with each other. Each day the characters of Begin and Sadat slowly change their rigid and frozen ideologically-held positions as they get to “know each other”.

Conflict in all its forms is the stuff of great drama.

When the outcome is known, as in this production, it falls to the actors to perform the heavy lifting of sweeping the audience along with Wright’s brilliant narrative. Great writing makes the work of actors a pleasure. It presents each actor the luxury of being able to create a fully developed, interesting character.

Richard Thomas’ winning performance as President Carter, shows the former, self-effacing President to possess more skills and qualities than just being a peanut farmer from Georgia.

Thomas’ performance allows the audience to peek into the private and pressure-driven life of a spiritual American President who has his doubts about the success of the audacious project he has undertaken. Hallie Foote as Rosalyn Carter delivers not only charm, support, and respect for her husband as the leader of the free world, she is an important partner-player in the negotiations taking place at Camp David. Both are finely crafted performances.

The portrayal of Eisenberg’s Begin, who once was listed as a terrorist, renders the Israeli Prime Minister as not only a strong leader, but also as a man who can be warm and one with a sense of humor who understands what’s a stake in any peace accord with the Egyptians. The Arab Middle East for years has vowed to drive the Jewish people into the sea, along with their ancient homeland Israel. Eisenberg’s Begin is a highly nuanced and compelling performance.

Nabawy’s characterization of Anwar Sadat presents a man who realizes that any decision made at Camp David will affect millions of people, and in the process, will label him as being a traitor to the Arab cause

From left: Richard Thomas as Jimmy Carter, Ned Eisenberg as Menachem Begin, and Khaled Nabawy as Anwar Sadat

(Sadat was assassinated three years later by fundamentalist army officers for his part in the 1978 Peace Accord). It should be noted that the Carter-brokered Peace Accord between Israel and Egypt has been in place for almost forty years with no wars. However, the Middle East of today remains in chaos. Diplomacy should always trump (no pun intended) war in most cases.

“Camp David” is a stellar ensemble effort on the part of the company. It is also a credit to the skill and vision of director Smith who previously

staged the play at the Arena Stage in Washington, DC in 2014, and as the director, continues to find fresh nuances in the material and the ensemble performances.

The Old Globe has few equals when it comes to the technical elements, and this production is no exception.

Director Smith heads a richly inventive creative team led by Scenic Designer Walt Spangler who recreates the woodsy setting of Maryland’s Camp David presidential retreat.

Lighting by Designer Pat Collins serves up many mood-inducing

moments and allows the audience to see the costumes of Designer Paul Tazewell. The projection designs of Jeff Sugg, and the sound design and original music by David Van Tieghem further compliment this splendid overall production.

Artistic Director Barry Edelstein continues to provide San Diego audiences with first rate theatrical entertainment.

“Camp David” performs on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage through June 19, 2016.
