Apple is Overhauling Homescreen Apple reimagines the iPhone experience with iOS 14

By Desert Star Staff iOS 14 introduces new ways to customize the Home Screen, discover and use apps with App Clips, and stay connected in Messages Widgets are beautifully redesigned in iOS 14, giving users timely information at a glance, and are more helpful than ever right on the Home Screen pages.

Cupertino, California — Apple previewed iOS 14, introducing the most significant update ever to Home Screen pages with beautifully redesigned widgets and the App Library, a new way to tap into the App Store with App Clips, essential updates to Messages, and more.

The new widgets present timely information at a glance

and can be pinned in different sizes on any Home Screen page. Users can create a Smart Stack of widgets, which uses on-device intelligence to surface the right widget based on time, location, and activity.

Home Screen pages can display widgets that are customized for work, travel, sports, entertainment, and other areas of interest. At the

end of the Home, Screen pages is the App Library, a new space that automatically organizes all of a user’s apps into one simple, easy-tonavigate view, and intelligently surfaces apps that may be helpful in the moment. Users can choose how many Home Screen pages to display and easily hide pages for quicker access to the App Library.

The App Library makes it easier for users to get to all of their apps with a simple, easy-

to-navigate view at the end of the Home Screen pages.

Incoming FaceTime and phone calls and Siri interactions take on an all-new compact design that enables users to stay in the context of what they are doing. With Picture-in-Picture support, iPhone users can now watch a video or take a FaceTime call while using another app. “iOS 14 transforms the

Existing-Home Sales Fall 9.7% in May

By Desert Star Staff WASHINGTON, Existing-home sales fell in May, marking a three-month decline in sales as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, according to the National Association of Realtors®.

Each of the four major regions witnessed dips in month-overmonth and year-over-year sales, with the Northeast experiencing the greatest month-over-month drop.

Total existing-home sales,1 https://www.nar.realtor/ existing-home-sales, completed transactions that include singlefamily homes, townhomes,

condominiums and co-ops, slumped 9.7% from April to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 3.91 million in May. Overall, sales fell year-over-year, down 26.6% from a year ago (5.33 million in May 2019).

“Sales completed in May reflect contract signings in March and April – during the strictest times of the pandemic lockdown and hence the cyclical low point,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “Home sales will surely rise in the upcoming months with the economy

4 Tips for Planning a Summer Family Vacation

Photo courtesy of Getty Images

By Desert Star Staff As stay-at-home orders ease, many families are eager to get out of the house and hit the road for a summer trip. However, vacation will most likely look different this year as families looking to get away may stay closer to home and take extra precautions.

Make your summer travel plans safe and successful with these tips.

Destination: Taking a road trip allows you to avoid crowded airports or public transportation hubs and bring your own food and groceries.

A drivable destination is still a getaway, and driving typically

offers more flexibility and requires less planning. Even if it’s just a trip across the state instead of across the country, picking a destination within driving distance of your home is a chance to break away from everyday surroundings and routine.

Cleanliness: Clean

accommodations are always important and may be even more so now. Many hotels and whole-home vacation rentals, which were pioneered

by Vrbo nearly 25 years ago, have enhanced cleaning and disinfection guidelines. When selecting a place to stay during your trip, consider whole-home vacation rentals so your family has the privacy of having the entire property to yourselves, and make sure to review the cleaning measures that have been implemented. Measures to look for include cleaning and disinfecting high-touch surfaces, stocking antibacterial soap and sanitizers for guests, building in time between bookings to avoid backto-back stays and offering minimal contact check-in and check-out options.

Activities: Although many amusement parks, tourist attractions and businesses have re-opened, their hours may be limited and there may be capacity restrictions, so be sure to research requirements for tickets and admission and

plan your trip accordingly.

Consider accommodations for your trip that include built-in activities for your family, such as a private pool, or opt for less-crowded destinations like mountain cabins or lake houses to enjoy a change of scenery.

Flexible Accommodations: In these uncertain times, much of the travel industry has adjusted cancellation policies to be more accommodating to travelers. In fact, according to a survey of Vrbo travelers, more than 75% of respondents are more likely to choose accommodations with flexible cancellation policies when booking their next vacation home. When planning and booking your trip, be sure you clearly understand the cancellation policies. When possible, seek out options that allow you to make changes with minimal or no penalty if circumstances force you to adjust your plans.

reopening and could even surpass one-year-ago figures in the second half of the year.”

The median existing-home price2 for all housing types in May was $284,600, up 2.3% from May 2019 ($278,200), as prices increased in every region. May’s national price increase marks 99 straight months of year-over-year gains.

Total housing inventory3 at the end of May totaled 1.55 million units, up 6.2% from April, and down 18.8% from one year ago (1.91 million). Unsold inventory sits at a 4.8-month supply at the current sales pace, up from 4.0 months in April and up from the 4.3-month figure recorded in May 2019.

“New home construction needs to robustly ramp up in order to meet rising housing demand,” Yun said.

“Otherwise, home prices will rise too fast and hinder first-

time buyers, even at a time of record-low mortgage rates.”

Properties typically remained on the market for 26 days in May, seasonally down from 27 days in April, but equal to 26 days in May 2019.

Fifty-eight percent of homes sold in May 2020were on the market for less than a month.

First-time buyers were responsible for 34% of sales in May, down from 36% in April 2020and up from 32% in May 2019. NAR’s 2019 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers – released in late 20194 – revealed that the annual share of first-time buyers was 33%.

Individual investors or second-home buyers, who account for many cash sales, purchased 14% of homes in May, up from 10% in April 2020 and from 13% in May 2019.

All-cash sales accounted for 17% of transactions in May, up from 15% in April 2020 and down from 19% in May 2019.

According to Freddie Mac, the average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage decreased to 3.23% in May, down from 3.31% in April. The average commitment rate across all of 2019 was 3.94%.

about 36 years. America’s new paper money system began on August 15, 1971, when Quantitative Easing (QE) began.

The whole Fake-money scam probably would have blown up in the 1980s except for our Fed. Chairman, Paul Volcker, who forced the dollar to act as it were real money. As you may remember, that is when inflation and interest rates rose to double-digit levels. In 1980, Volcker put the Fed’s key lending rate up to 20%.

This caused a recession. But it saved the Fake-dollar system, and it gave the dollar a longer expected lifespan. Americans again believed that the dollar was a reliable currency for the long-term. If ever there were another crisis, it was concluded by many that the growth of America would take care of it.

Printing of money to resolve monetary shortfalls and stimulate the economy is referred to as “ Quantitative Easing”(QE). It is undoubtedly easing us all down the Road of Recession and Disparity.

Fed. Chair Bernanke, used this to avoid a recession in 2007-2008. Recently, the wild money-printing began back on September 17, 2019. That was when the big banks discovered that they needed more cash to buy the government’s bonds.

The Federal Reserve stepped

into action with the overnight funding of markets with their “Fake” money. In the weeks since then, the Banks are buying bonds with Fake funds, while adding $3 trillion in new wealth to the U.S. financial system and our financial debt.

To escape the financial catastrophe, the feds will probably introduce a “new” dollar… perhaps backed by gold… maybe some form of digital currency. Who knows?

There is the theory that no pure-paper money has ever survived a complete interest rate cycle. Now it is being put to the test again. But now, we are 49 years into the Fakemoney system. And yet, the printing presses are running hot. The interest rate cycle period last about 60 years.

When you look at the yields, the last high was in 1981. The next high or somewhere in the middle should be around 2040. This trend should shift us from falling interest rates to rising rates. In other words, rising prices are on the way, while we experience another top in the interest rate cycle, we will experience much higher rates of inflation… perhaps even hyperinflation.

The economy has been shrunk. Thirty-six million jobs have been lost. Industrial production and manufacturing

output have been hit hard.

Retail spending saw a record drop for April. Manufacturing has never recovered from the crisis of 2008-2009, which left the leisure and hospitality sectors responsible for almost all the growth over the last 10 years. And now, all things related to leisure, tourism, and hospitality supporting most of the working classes is gone.

The manufacturing sector of our economy has been hit the hardest, but will these jobs return? I would suspect many jobs will be taken over

by Artificial Intelligence.

However, all of that is just the warm-up act!... Just like second-string entertainers preparing the audience for the real tragedy to come. As dumb as it was to shut down the entire country, it is even sillier to pretend that you can replace actual economic losses with empty, worthless paper money.

The next big financial problem is Corporate debt.

It is expected to double this year. CEOs whose companies are already deep in debt are getting money at the lowest rates in history, while bond buyers know they can expect to gain significantly when their bonds are sold back to the feds at higher prices.

America is in the most significant financial crisis

in 90 years. While the Fed. Continues to print money, like it is going out of style, which and will result in our dollar being replaced eventually.

We have passed the point of no return, while the “COVID Depression” is beginning to come into view. Already, barely half of all Americans are working. And no one – neither Democrats nor Republicans have any plan to deal with it, other than printing up more Fake money to “replace” the losses they caused while trying to “stimulate” the economy to return to normal.

Necessity is the mother of invention… but it is also the deadbeat dad of catastrophic mischief. Their backs to the wall, people are ready to do almost anything… no matter how idiotic or preposterous. This is a formula for disaster. Consider taking the steps now to secure your future for the long term.

The Myths about Mold, Like Mold, Just Won’t Die [Part 1]

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. In 2000, right after we survived “Y2K,” a new “toxic mold” panic swept the country, and twenty years (of lawsuits and billions of dollars) later, major myths persist, frightening property owners and managers. The myths all too often cause exaggerated repairs, unduly frighten residents, and create unnecessary conflict. This and the next column will address thirteen pervasive myths.

Mold is new. Mold, one of the earliest and simplest life forms, has existed for thousands of years. In 1928, mold was the basis of the discovery of penicillin. Mold is everpresent, as is dust or pollen.

The scientific and medical communities confirm mold’s many dangers. In 2004, the National Institute of Medicine published its comprehensive study on indoor mold exposure, called “Damp Indoor Spaces and Health.”

A central finding of this book was: “Scientific evidence links mold … to asthma symptoms in some people with the chronic disorder, as well as to coughing, wheezing, and upper respiratory tract

symptoms in otherwise healthy people… However, the available evidence does not support an association between … mold and the wide range of other health complaints that have been ascribed.” That sounds like mold is no more dangerous than dust or pollen, which also can severely affect those with respiratory sensitivities.

The book did not receive much attention – stories of frightened people living in tents are more interesting.

One must know what kind of mold it is. Mold consultants and injury attorneys often describe some molds as worse than others.

Their star is stachybotrys chartarum, a black mold reported to produce infinitesimal quantities of a toxin. It sounds frightening, but the scientific community long ago debunked the myth that this or any mold was poisonous to breathe. For example, read the National Institute of Health Fact Sheet on Mold, found at www.niehs. nih.gov, or visit the Center for Disease Control site at https://www.cdc.gov/mold/ faqs.htm. Nevertheless, the mold industry continues to call mold “toxic.”

California’s Toxic Mold Protection Act of 2001 resulted in accepted June 24, 2020

exposure standards. This law, found at Health and Safety Code 26100, instructed the Department of Public Health(DPH) to develop “Permissible Exposure Limits” regarding the various mold strains. However, in 2005, and again in 2008, the DPH reported to the state legislature that the task could not be completed with the scientific information available. As per the Department’s most recent statement: “To date, no federal or state policies set safe exposure limits or quantify the health risks from dampness and mold in buildings.” (CDPH Statement on Building Dampness, Mold, and Health, 2016 update) Consequently, there is presently no official standard as to how many mold spores of any type are “unhealthy”.

Always start with a mold test. The Environmental Protection Agency recommends against mold testing. As confirmed by the DPH, there is no standard

as to how much of a given airborne mold is “unhealthy.”

Furthermore, indoor air sampling tests are extremely vulnerable to recent events in the home. For example, a recent shower, window opening, or carpet cleaning can completely change the test results. So, mold tests mainly unnecessarily frighten the home’s occupants with disembodied meaningless spore counts. There is rarely a legitimate reason to spend money on a mold test.

HOROSCOPES ARIES

In the months to come, you will experience both opportunities and challenges. You find the courage to meet each one because of your nature – fiery, willing, enthusiastic. This year everyone will experience vast changes, radical shifts, states of impermanence that, in the end, will call upon each of us to bring forth creative endeavors and ways of being based on new archetypes.

Keep moving, pausing for rest here and there. You are one of the leaders in this.

TAURUS It is most important to take care of your health this year.

Especially if you seek to have all your wishes come true.

Tending to your health will take discipline, research, thinking, studying, detailed planning, circadian rhythms and homeopaths. Your good judgment has others seeking your advice and insights. You need good health to be able to help others. Seek comfort and rest and beauty. And consider an alkaline diet.

GEMINI Notice if much of the past, including memory, events, ideas, thought and people quietly slip away. This is not good, bad or something to be frightened about. It means you are traveling onward; your life is clearing away hindrances. Healing occurs when old patterns disappear as they are no longer useful.

Healing, the Tibetan writes,

allows for the Soul to be free. You need to be free.

CANCER Summer belongs to you.

Are you communicating with friends and neighbors? Cancer people like to be somewhat secluded. They also enjoy helping others in need. Do not enter into power struggles with others. When directing others listen carefully to everyone’s communication.

This allows for no separation and misunderstandings to occur. You are to be the mentor for Goodwill and Right Human Relations.

LEO As work comes with more responsibilities, you will notice how capable and responsible a leader you are, able to assume multiple tasks with skill and agility. Many people trust and learn from your constancy, sense of rightness and patience. Simultaneously, you harbor secret thoughts, hopes, wishes and dreams. It’s important to take time away from work, seeking quiet and retreat. Step into the shadows.

There are messages there.

VIRGO Take time to consider what you would like for the future.

Create a picture/photo journal depicting how you want your life to be. Begin before your birthday so that when it arrives you have clear goals for your new coming year.

Don’t be predictable. Be groundbreaking, inventive

and original. Use nothing from the past - no beliefs or plans - to create your possible future. The past needs to be transcended completely.

LIBRA You need to run away to places far away. You need to travel, have an adventure, find new people to communicate with. You need things harmonious, kind, restful and good. You need to think of the impossible. Know that ideas become ideals, then manifest in form and matter.

You need a feeling of being submerged in a calming peaceful new reality. What more do you feel you need?

SCORPIO As daily life changes, and continues to, all relationships begin to change too. Every day something new appears.

Daily life becomes different, unexpected and unusual. This will continue through winter solstice. What is unusual eventually becomes the usual over time. Preparing for the new era. The past, showing up on your doorstep, arrives in order to complete itself, then it disappears again. Hopefully for the last time. You show gratitude.

SAGITTARIUS You need the same things Libra needs, but more so.

Something of fantasy and make-believe, something imagined. You may not know what it is. It will have two faces. Don’t be confused.

Be spontaneous, curious yet cautious. Careful with money.

The usual warning, but more so, again. As the world feels like it’s dissolving away, your creative expression takes on Aquarian tones, work becomes ever more expanded.

You interact in the world with poise and equanimity.

And joy. Jupiter loves you.

CAPRICORN Here are the energies for Caps as they enter the summer months. A new sense of self-identity, new creativity, precious sense of a new self being found, communication being refined, a pursuing of the Art of Living, little tasks all summer in many diverse ways, new neighborhoods, Goodwill and a new balance through Right Relations in the world. Having an interlude of just the right kind of rest.

along with new and different experiences. You’ve had a recent loss. Know that a new unexpected endeavor will be offered. For now, simply do the work needed each day. It will heal hurts and separations.

A depth of communication is available at this time. Make contact with all people, kingdoms and events around you. Contact releases love. If someone is separated and far away, visualize you with them, heart to heart. Love happens.

Risa D’Angeles is the founder and director of the Esoteric & Astrological Studies Research Institute: Risa’s Esoteric Astrology.

AQUARIUS Interacting with many different groups of people. This is your spiritual task. To be an acquaintance to everyone, gathering and dispersing information for the future endeavors of humanity. The Hierarchy looks down on Earth seeking those who carry the “light for the world.” You carry that light. Therefore, you’re sent here and there to disperse that light. Rest a while sometimes.

Ending Solitary Confinement in NY Top Priority for Prison Reform

By Desert Star Staff NEW YORK -- As New York moves to reform police practices, human rights advocates say the state needs to end the use of solitary confinement in prisons, too.

Solitary confinement lasting more than 15 days is recognized by the United Nations as a form of torture.

But in New York, prisoners are subjected to prolonged isolation that can lead to neglect, serious mental illness and suicide.

Legislation that would dramatically curtail the use of solitary confinement has been pending in Albany for several years.

Victor Pate, a state organizer for the HALT Solitary Campaign, says the message the campaign wants legislators to hear is simple.

“We’re saying people should be treated humanely, given treatment -- not punishment -- for behavioral issues, and we are urging

them to please bring the bill to the floor for a vote,” he states.

The HALT Solitary Confinement Act passed in the Assembly in 2018, but has not come up for a vote in the state Senate.

The HALT bill has enough support to pass in both houses. But according to Pate, last year the legislation stalled after the leadership of both the Assembly and the Senate agreed to support administrative changes to isolation proposed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

“He has not stated when this administrative change would become effective,” Pate states. “No one has heard anything whatsoever about the implementation of his proposal since 2019.”

Pate says the governor’s proposal doesn’t specify treatment options and would take three years to reduce the maximum time in isolation to 30 days, twice the period classified as torture.

A recent report says solitary confinement in federal and state prisons has increased 500% due to the COVID pandemic. (boscorelli/Adobe Stock) Pate says the HALT Act would immediately limit solitary confinement to no more that 15 days, and it would create alternatives to placing prisoners in isolation at all.

“It will allow people to June 24, 2020

have psychological, social counseling, to have more interactive personal time and a transformation process either back to general population or released back to society,” he explains.

The bill also would exclude some prisoners from solitary confinement entirely, including pregnant women, those with mental illness, LGBT prisoners and those age 50 and older. www.desertstarweekly.com

A Trio Of Sizzling Summer Travel Deals

By Pam Price There was probably never a summer more suited to the old adage “to travel is to travail” than this one. Between airlines that have slashed their schedules, beaches, and national parks that went from lockdown to overcrowded in a heartbeat and a dizzying array of restrictions that seem to change faster than Cher’s wigs, it’s enough to make you want to dive under the covers and stay there. But that would be a shame because then you’d miss some exceptional scenery, a lot of which you can see without having to go to the airport or even getting inside your car.

Traveling by train never went out of style, and this is an excellent time to see parts of America that are

best experienced by rail.

Amtrak serves more than 500 destinations in 46 states and three Canadian provinces and offers a unique class of service—private rooms—that are ideal for travelers seeking safety, space, and privacy. The rooms are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate solo travelers, couples, and families. A standard room features two comfortable seats that can be converted into beds, complimentary WiFi, charging outlets, and an expansive window to enjoy magnificent views of the American landscape.

All passengers in private rooms receive complimentary lounge access at major stations and priority boarding. Onboard amenities and services include

complimentary meals and a dedicated sleeping car attendant who can assist with luggage and provide turndown service. Amtrak has also enhanced its cleaning protocols at the station and onboard so customers can rest assured they will be traveling in a freshlycleaned room. Passengers can travel across the country in private rooms and visit places like Glacier National Park, the Grand Canyon, Canyonlands National Park, or Disney World. You can view a full list of routes at amtrak.com.

Airport hotels: remember those? Some are better than others, of course, and the Hyatt Regency LAX has long been one of our favorites. The hotel is the closest one on Century Blvd to the airport that you

can actually walk to Terminal One. However, there is also a complimentary airport shuttle service. Right now, the hotel is offering a special “Wheels Down & Go” transportation package designed to get you out and about and enjoy L.A.’s ultimate destinations. Take in the beaches, the shopping, the restaurants, and the many sites from the hotel’s central LAX location, which really couldn’t be more convenient.

The “Wheels Down & Go!” package includes overnight accommodations, then start your day with two ILLY drip coffees to go, complimentary overnight parking per night, plus one $25 gas credit per stay. Rates starting from $179 per night are available for booking through 9/30/20 for stays now through 12/31/20.

Subject to availability, blackout dates may apply, there is a maximum occupancy of two guests per room, and the package is not combinable with other offers or promotions. To book, you can email the hotel directly at LAXLA-Front.Desk.

By Desert Star Staff Keeping your home cool and comfortable on hot summer days doesn’t need to cost a fortune. These tips can ensure your heating and cooling equipment lasts a long time and operates at maximum efficiency: • Clean and change filters: Dirty air filters can cause a system to suffer from pressure drop, which can lead to reduced air flow or “blow-out,” which can result in no air infiltration at all. When this occurs, your HVAC equipment is working harder, which means increased energy bills and ultimately, more wear and tear. To avoid costly repairs and replacements and enjoy lower utility bills, clean your air filters monthly.

As far as replacing air filters is concerned, one general guideline to follow is to change them every three months. However, the truth is that optimal frequency for this maintenance task depends on a variety of factors, including the type of filter in your HVAC unit, the size of your home, if anyone in your family has allergies and whether or not you have pets. No matter how

often you change air filters, be sure they are properlysized for your system.

The importance of cleaning and replacing air filters can’t be overstated. Dirty air filters won’t just cost you more money, they can compromise your home’s indoor air quality and aggravate allergies and respiratory issues.

• Get annual service: Your HVAC or furnace technician should service your unit annually in order to check that all its various components are in working order. A service check may actually detect a problem before you notice it, and catching it in time could extend your unit’s life. Be sure to schedule this service before it’s an emergency (i.e. don’t wait until it’s the hottest day of the year and your unit is in disrepair.)

• Replace older units: Consider whether it’s time to replace your unit, factoring in its age and regularity of service. Newer units, especially those with ENERGY STAR labels, operate more efficiently.

Indeed, a properly sized and installed ENERGY STAR air conditioner uses up to 20 percent less electricity than

older models. So, even if your heating or cooling system is properly maintained, you may be spending more money than is necessary each month.

• Do it right: For ultimate savings, it’s best to ensure your HVACR equipment is installed and serviced properly. The best way to ensure fast, efficient service done right the first time is by hiring a technician

certified by North American Technician Excellence (NATE) for all installations, repairs and maintenance. NATE-certified technicians have demonstrated their knowledge of today’s increasingly sophisticated heating and cooling systems by passing a nationally recognized test developed and supported by all segments of the heating, ventilation and air-

Still, only the starting point of places to visit on an island that extends 160 miles from east to west. To really get in touch with the magnificent scenery you need a car. As always, you should prefer a local company to the corporate chains. For the best service and best range of vehicles (including automatic cars, which is not always a given in Europe), we recommend Rental Center Crete. If you arrive in Heraklion, consider an overnight at the immaculate Galaxy Hotel, which has an outdoor pool and is a short walking distance to essential sites like Heraklion’s world-famous and spectacular Archaeological Museum.

Students Emerge as Leaders During COVID-19 Through Service Learning

By Desert Star Staff As learning has gone virtual to curb the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, educators and parents have been left with a pressing concern: how will this experience impact social and emotional development?

“The pandemic is having profound effects on children’s mental well-being, their social development, their safety, their privacy, their economic security and beyond,” a policy brief by the United Nations stated.

“While children are not the face of this pandemic, its broader impacts on children risk being catastrophic and amongst the most lasting consequences for societies as a whole.”

While maintaining progress in core subject areas is imperative, a curriculum that develops leadership skills is equally essential to ensure that emotional development continues virtually.

An independent research study commissioned by Lead4Change found that students who completed the Lead4Change Student Leadership Program experienced tangible emotional growth. The program involves lessons in leadership, as well as creating and implementing team projects to meet a need in the community. Those that completed the program experienced significant changes in leadership skills (60 percent of students improved), respect for others (54 percent) and ambition and innovation (53 percent).

Programs of this nature can be completed virtually by adapting projects to address current concerns, and they can not only succeed without physical contact, but offer unique challenges that help students to grow as leaders.

Students at Mohave High School in Bullhead City, Ariz. reconsidered their project when quarantine began, creating a read-aloud library of developmentally appropriate books for preschoolers.

With high schoolers reading preschoolers books and teaching them literacy and social development skills, this resource allowed an early childhood program to continue virtually.

“The students developed a ‘can do attitude’ while working collaboratively to adapt to their new normal,” said teacher, Michele Leyendecker. “With so much uncertainty, this project truly gave them purpose.”

The “T-Bird Readers” team was awarded Lead4Change’s grand prize, a $10,000 grant for a nonprofit of their choice.

In Garner, N.C., students participated in service learning and emerged as community leaders by directly addressing the local impact of the pandemic. The “Corona Relief Crew” collaborated with volunteers and vendors

to create and distribute kits with essential food and supplies for the homeless and those in nursing homes who have been severely impacted by the pandemic.

“Being an adult leader for the Corona Relief Crew has caused a paradigm shift in how I view youth strength and their ability to lead,” educator Dr. Cleopatra Lacewell shared.

“This experience has taught me when students have wellorganized plans, identified goals and established team structures, they can then perform as stellar leaders with minimum support.”

The Corona Relief Crew was also honored with Lead4Change’s $10,000 grand prize for their initiative.

For more information about the Lead4Change Student Leadership Program, visit lead4change.org.

While distance learning’s

impact on students’ education has been unprecedented, this disruption also has presented a unique opportunity for students to overcome obstacles and grow as leaders.

With a servicelearning project, students can gain a sense of purpose, lead real change in their local community and maintain a sense of unity that is integral during challenging times. StatePoint

PBS’ National July 4th TV Tradition, A Capitol Fourth, Returns

By Desert Star Staff WASHINGTON, - Capital Concerts announced today the 40th anniversary presentation of A CAPITOL FOURTH, the national July 4th TV tradition on PBS. This year’s show is co-hosted by two-time Emmy Award-nominated actor and producer John Stamos (Netflix’s YOU, FULLER HOUSE, ER) and multi-platinum recording artist and star of television, film and the Broadway stage Vanessa Williams. The nation’s 244th birthday celebration will feature new performances from iconic locations across the country, including Washington, D.C, New York, Nashville, Los Angeles and Philadelphia, as well as highlights from the concert’s forty-year history and the stirring patriotic favorites viewers enjoy on the Fourth of July. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the traditional live A CAPITOL FOURTH will not be held on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol; instead, to ensure the health and safety of all involved, this year’s concert performances were pretaped without a live audience, as was the case with the recent broadcast of the NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY CONCERT. This special 90-minute presentation of A CAPITOL FOURTH, available on television, radio and digital media, will also feature a tribute to our nation’s workers on the front lines in the fight against the pandemic, a segment honoring the contributions of African American heroes from our

nation’s past and present, and a salute to our wounded warriors and their families. The fireworks display over our nation’s iconic skyline will be covered live during the broadcast captured by multiple cameras stationed around the city.

“For four decades A CAPITOL FOURTH has paid tribute to our nation’s birthday and the hopes and dreams of all Americans,” said Executive Producer Michael Colbert. “This year, our broadcast will reflect what we as a country have faced and the challenges ahead, while showcasing our message of inclusion, patriotism and love.”

The 40th anniversary edition of A CAPITOL FOURTH will feature performances by: Grammy Award-winning legend Patti LaBelle; Grammy Awardwinning singer/songwriter and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Fogerty; worldrenowned four-time Grammy Award-winning soprano superstar Renée Fleming; legendary Motown stars The Temptations celebrating their 60th anniversary; country music star and Grammy-nominated member of the Grand Ole Opry Trace Adkins; multiplatinum singer/songwriter Andy Grammer; five-time Grammy Award-winning Gospel vocalist extraordinaire Yolanda Adams; hard-rocking multiplatinum country music singer/ songwriter Brantley Gilbert; platinum-selling country music star Lauren Alaina; Tony Awardwinning Broadway star Brian

Stokes Mitchell; Tony Awardwinning Broadway star Kelli O’Hara and Broadway and television star Mandy Gonzalez (HAMILTON, IN THE HEIGHTS); with members of the National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of top pops conductor Jack Everly. To mark the program’s 40th anniversary, the broadcast will also feature highlights of iconic performances from previous concerts.

The program will also include a special tribute by John Stamos to our first responders, the doctors, nurses and paramedics, grocery store workers and truck drivers, scientists and mail carriers, new American heroes putting their lives at risk now on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis.

“These workers are committed to keeping us safe, keeping us fed, healing the sick and keeping the country going during this pandemic,” commented Stamos. “It’s important for all of us to take a moment in our show to thank them and honor them for their spirit and courage.”

The segment honoring them will include a musical performance of the Oscar-nominated song “I’m Standing with You” by SAG Award-winning and Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actress Chrissy Metz (THIS IS US, BREAKTHROUGH).

The 40th annual broadcast of A CAPITOL FOURTH airs on PBS Saturday, July 4, 2020 from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m.

The top-rated, awardwinning program will be capped off with fireworks, a rousing rendition of Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture”, an audience favorite and A CAPITOL FOURTH tradition.

Also participating in new and some selected past performances are members of the U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own,” the U.S. Army Herald Trumpets, The Joint Armed Forces Chorus, United States Army Presidential Salute Battery, Members of the Armed Forces carrying the State and Territorial Flags provided by the Military District of Washington, D.C., the Choral Arts Society of Washington and Patrick Lundy & The Ministers of Music.

Evangelical Support for Trump May Be Waning

By Desert Star Staff HARRISBURG, Pa. -White, evangelical Christians are a major part of President Donald Trump’s political base, but recent polling indicates conflicts between his actions and Christian teachings may be eroding that support.

Evangelical backing for

Trump is largely grounded in his promises to ban abortion and ensure religious freedom.

But his own behavior often runs counter to what many consider to be core Christian values -- opposition to extramarital affairs and dishonesty, and policies that negatively affect immigrants,

the poor and the environment.

Ron Sider, founder of Evangelicals for Social Action, points out that the National Association of Evangelicals says civic engagement must have a “biblically balanced agenda.”

“That large evangelical network is saying you have to be concerned with all of

those issues,” he stresses.

“And, of course, we also have to look at the character of the candidates.”

Recent polls by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) and Pew Research Center have found decreases in support for Trump among white evangelicals since March of this year.

Sider notes there also has been a decrease in the number of Americans who identify themselves as evangelical, especially among young people.

“There’s no doubt but that large numbers of young evangelicals are abandoning the evangelical church in droves, some of them even abandoning Christianity,” he states.

Robert Jones, who heads PRRI, says the share of the American population that is

white and evangelical has fallen by two percentage points, to 15%, since 2016.

Sider contends evangelicals need to avoid letting one or two issues override all the other values that are at the heart of their faith.

“This brings spiritual danger -- not only to the future of American democracy, but even more to societal respect for Christianity, and even the person white evangelicals claim to worship and obey,” he points out.

Sider says the message in his recent book of essays by 30 evangelicals, entitled “The Spiritual Danger of Donald Trump,” isn’t to tell people how they should vote, but that they should apply a full range of biblical principles to this and every election.

sing lead vocals and all harmony vocals on the songs (just listen to “Palm Tree and Moon” and “Summer in Monterey”). This is an outstanding album of songs that collectively celebrate the mythical Southern California of yesterday; the Baroque pop title track, Beach Boys-flavored “Sail Away” and lounge chamber pop “My Hobo Heart” are early highlights. The artful rocker “San Francisco,” Calypso-tinged “Hold Back Time,” orchestral pop gem “Movies Is Magic” and Americana mining “This Town Goes Down at Sunset” capture the bold and zealous spirit of this truly original and captivating title. The end of the first disc includes three previously-unissued session outtakes. A second disc on the 2-CD package features 11 instrumental versions of the songs heard on the first disc. “Orange Crate Art” is available as a 2-CD or 2-LP vinyl set.

WITH LADY BEVERLY COHN

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Compelling in “7500” - Streaming on Amazon

Any time Joseph GordonLevitt appears in a film or a television series, he is what is known as a “bankable star.”

This meant he would deliver a haunting, highly textured performance, which would be reflected at the box office.

(Remember those days?)

Among some of his films are 500 Days of Summer, Hesher, Inception, 50-50, Looper, Don Jon, and Snowden, after which he took some time off to be with his young family. His latest film, 7500*, is a story about the hijacking of European Flight 162 en route from Berlin to Paris.

Now you might ask yourself what sets 7500 apart from at least ten other films with a similar theme, some of which include the most memorable United 93 and Air Force One. The answer might be a slightly different twist in the somewhat flawed script co-written by Senad Halibasic and Patrick Vollrath, who also directed.

With a time code scrolling across the bottom of the screen, indicating Gate D-29, the film starts out pretty much like an ordinary day at the airport with lots of people going through security and hurrying to their respective gates. The boarding is routine with the passengers warmly greeted by the flight attendants who help them find their seats and get ready to begin serving. Meanwhile, inside the cockpit, German Captain Michael Lutzmann, well played by former pilot Carlo Kitzlinger, and his American co-pilot, 10-year veteran Tobias

Ellis, immaculately played

by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, are immersed in routine preflight checks, the complex symbols, and numbers which are displayed in a continuous scrawl. The instrument panel is brightly lit and almost takes on a life of its own. One of the flight attendants is Gökçe (Aylin Tezel), who gains entry into the cockpit to see what the captain and co-pilot would like for lunch. As it turns out, she is Tobias’ live-in GermanTurkish girlfriend, and they have a two-year-old son named Deniz and are in the middle of planning their wedding. She is also concerned that they missed the enrollment date for their son, but Tobias, in his very cool, relaxed, soft-spoken demeanor, tells her that it’s not a disaster. With the pre-check completed, the flight is now ready for take-off. However, two passengers, whose luggage is on board, are not on the plane, and because of that, their luggage has to be removed with a potential delay. We then see two people running towards the plane, and the removal is halted. So far, so good, right?

The control tower gives them the go-ahead, with a warning that they may run into some turbulence, and off they go.

There is a pilot security camera in the cockpit that shows the activity taking place in the cabin. Suddenly, and from out of nowhere, three Islamic extremists try to breach the cockpit, with only the leader, Kenan (Muruthan

Under instructions to not open the cockpit door, badly wounded co-pilot Tobias Ellis (Joseph-Gordon Levitt) watches the unfolding horror on the pilot security camera.

Muslu), making it inside where he delivers a lethal blow to the captain, as well as stabbing Tobias, who is bleeding profusely. Despite that, he is able to knock out Kenan and restrain him. The other two terrorists, a very young and confused Vedat (Omid Memar) and the unrelenting Kalkan (Passar Hariky,) continuously pound on the cockpit door demanding that they be let in, and I mean continuously pounding. As you might guess, they threaten to kill hostages with their homemade shivs crafted from glass chards. To save lives, Tobias wants to open the cockpit door, but the tower forbids him to do so. Air traffic control diverts the plane from its original destination

to a stopover in Hanover, about twenty minutes away, for “refueling.” The desperate 18-year-old Vidat, deciding he really doesn’t want to die, is finally allowed into the cockpit where he and Tobias find a temporary common purpose and agree that one extraordinary action should not go forward.

On landing in Hanover, the passengers, who have restrained the third terrorist, are allowed to disembark as we hear the disembodied voice of a negotiator, the results of which you’ll have to find out for yourself.

Getting back to the different twist on a familiar theme, one factor is cinematographer Sebastian Thaler’s capture of the claustrophobic, almost

surreal, circumstances taking place in that cockpit where the action is centered virtually throughout the entire film. The occasional shaky focus endows the instrument panel with a profusion of dancing colors and shapes with the same technique in shooting the exterior runway and airport lights. The other major factor is Joseph GordonLevitt’s riveting tour-de-force performance, which, despite script weaknesses, takes his character on an emotional roller coaster ride through myriad actions and reactions, but as the character, always comes back to “center,” to do the job for which he was trained. *7500 is an emergency transponder code for a hijacking.
