“The Color Purple”

A Sad Thing Happened to “The Color Purple” On Its Way to the Pantages Theatre Lady Beverly Cohn I was excited about seeing the L.A. Premiere of the Tony Award-winning Broadway revival of The Color Purple.

Based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, and the 1985 Warner Brothers film, this is the play that was nominated for 11 Tony Awards, winning two, including Best

Revival of a Musical, and two Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Revival of a Musical. It ran on Broadway for 483 performances, closing January 2017. Sadly, what unfolded on stage opening night at the Pantages Theatre was a far cry from that award-winning production.

Adapted for the stage by

Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winner Marsha Norman, with music and lyrics by Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray, the Tony Award-winning director and scenic designer John Doyle attempted to recreate the splendor and excellence of his original work for the national touring company, but failed to reach that goal. What

By Desert Star Staff Huntington Beach, California– Country music star and Army Veteran Craig Morgan will be awarded the Army’s Outstanding Civilian Service Medal in recognition of his dedication to entertaining troops and their families around the world. Morgan, who has charted 25 songs on Billboard and thrills massive audiences with signature hits including “Bonfire,” “Almost Home,” “Redneck Yacht Club,” and “That’s What I Love About Sunday,” has made 15 overseas tours for our troops and performed for more than 37,000 service members and their families in all four corners of the world.

The presentation will

take place at the Greater Los Angeles Chapter of the Association of the United States Army (GLAC AUSA) annual Army Ball on 23 June at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Huntington Beach, California.

The Outstanding Civilian Service Medal is one of the highest awards that the Department of the Army can bestow upon a civilian. The Army is recognizing Morgan for his significant dedication to supporting not just Soldiers but to all military serving their country – often in harm’s way.

Mr. Morgan just returned to the U.S. after completing his 10th USO Tour (his third with the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) to entertain U.S. military

members stationed overseas.

The eight-day tour visited seven countries and included stops in western Tokyo, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq and Spain as well as the Korean Peninsula where the U.S. Army veteran was once stationed. Mr. Morgan served in the Army for nearly two decades.

The 2018 GLAC AUSA Army Birthday Ball celebrates the 243rd anniversary of the Army. It is one of Southern California’s largest public events to recognize and honor local Soldiers for their service.

is particularly perplexing is that Doyle used some of the original cast members from the Broadway revival including, Adrianna Hicks as Celie, Carla R. Stewart as Shug Avery, and Carrie Compere as Sofia, with other lead roles played

by Gavin Gregory as Mister, N’Jameh Camara as Nettie, and J. Daughtry as Harpo.

Visually enhanced by Ann Hould-Ward’s costumes, Jane Cox’s lighting, and Dan Moses Schreier’s sound design, the leads are seasoned Broadway performers, which makes what unfolded on stage even more head scratching.

By Pamela Price The ordination of Rancho Mirage, Ca resident Rabbi Julian Alexander King culminated in two events, both well attended by those involved with the Desert Outreach Synagogue. Rabbi King’s graduation and ordination was not an ordinary event. Over seventy of his congregation boarded a Cardiff bus parked in front of Gelson’s Market in Rancho Mirage taking them to the Steven Wise Temple in Los Angeles, on May 30th.

Despite Memorial Day

traffic, the group arrived in time for the Academy of Jewish Religion’s 2018 Rabbinic and Cantorial Ordination and Chaplaincy and Master of Jewish Studies Graduation.

Friends of Rabbi King continued the Celebration on May 30th at Tamarisk Country Club in Rancho Mirage, where a dinner hosted by Carlos King and Helen Varon took place and Rose Mallett and her band Entertained with jazz favorites...

Phyllis Eisenberg, who shares her time between Palm Desert and Chicago remarked, “this

was the perfect way to end the season, knowing the Jewish community has now established Desert Outreach which is an ideal solutionfor those of us who are part-time residents of the desert.”

Rabbi Sally Olins, also known as “the coffee house rabbi,” with Sunday sessions during the season, most recently held at the Hyatt Hotel in Palm Springs congratulated Rabbi King along with members of The Desert Outreach Synagogue’s members who are currently

By Desert Star Staff Having “it all” is a concept women have discussed and aspired to attain for nearly 40 years. Still, the conversation continues because no one has determined what having it all actually means.

A first-of-its-kind social experiment dug deeper into the choices women make in life and uncovered that female relationships often play a significant role. In collaboration with Dr. Emily Balcetis, Associate Professor of Psychology at New York University, Lean Cuisine asked women to define their “ideal life,” as part of the ItAll social experiment.

The experience explored how women answered

questions alone versus in the presence of other women in their lives. The results showed that women help each other set a higher bar for themselves.

In fact, 89 percent of women set more ambitious goals in the presence of other women.

Despite societal stereotypes that suggest female relationships encourage anxiety, pressure and judgment, this experiment determined that women have a positive impact on other women as an engine for ambition.

“We rarely talk about the positive power of female relationships that we saw firsthand in the ItAll experiment,” Balcetis said.

“Women can encourage each other to shoot for more

where it matters most, rather than working to accomplish something less fulfilling only because society says they should. Women have a truly unique way of inspiring each other to reach their own greatest potential.”

Balcetis offers these tips, which were observed during the ItAll social experiment, to support women aspiring to be the best versions of themselves: Be a Role Model: Allowing a woman to observe and model your performance, whether in your personal or professional life, is an opportunity to give someone the courage and confidence to excel in her own right. A role model can set standards for an aspiring

attending Friday night services at Palm Valley High School in Rancho Mirage. The concept of ‘Desert Outreach’ is “a place where the creative meets the alternative and blends with the tradition’ or, as Rabbi King says “ ours is a temple without walls.” This ‘open door policy’ began in 2015 with a group of ten members meeting temporarily at Sun City Shadow Hills. Within three years the congregation blossomed. Last year High Holiday services took place at Desert Willow Golf Resort in Palm Desert.

Blending the traditional with a progressive twist makes the Desert Outreach Synagogue unique not only in the desert but as a force for the future,” said Phyllis Eisenberg.

Rabbi King reminded guests that the next Shabbat Service would be held on June 8th at Palm Valley School in Rancho Mirage at 7 PM. Highlighted by a 12 member choir followed by a traditional Shabbat dessert buffet. For further information, desertoutreachsynagogue.com.

woman to work toward, while proving that certain goals are, in fact, attainable.

Provide Encouragement: Take stock of the women in your life, including family, friends and social and professional acquaintances.

Consider where you may be able to lend support or nudge someone into higher aspirations. It might mean encouraging someone to set or achieve a certain goal, or it may mean challenging someone to take a leap, like applying for a challenging new position.

For example, the ItAll experiment first surveyed female participants individually then allowed them to express their aspirations in the presence of familiar, influential women in their lives. Life choices became less conservative when others were involved.

For example, participants

declared a desire for higher salaries, chose to work more hours, wanted to spend more time with friends and be more involved with children.

Start a Conversation: It’s been said that variety is the spice of life, and no place is that truer than among women working to define their own ambitions. Engage with women from different backgrounds and start important conversations that may open your eyes to unique experiences or viewpoints you hadn’t previously considered.

Arming yourself with that kind of knowledge can help make your own path clearer and encourage others to be a positive force for change.

Consider Reviewing your Accounts, As Interest Rates Climb

By Janice Gough Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Chairman, increased interest rates by 25 basis points to 1.75% recently. The move is an indicator of the central bank’s confidence in the health of the U.S. economy.

Inflation expectations have picked up significantly due to global geopolitical conditions and new changes in trade agreements should help.

The interest rate on everything from credit cards to adjustable-rate mortgages could soon be headed higher. The Federal Reserve signaled once more that it would likely begin raising its benchmark interest rate later this year, as part of the central bank’s strategy to stimulate job growth.

The federal fund’s rates have been very low for a while now, and this has lowered expenses for consumers.

However, we, as Consumers, should be mindful of what the potential cumulative effect could be if the Fed takes several rate increases over the course of a couple of years.

There are some steps to consider before interest rates begin climbing. It is essential to review the type of loans you have and decide which ones you wish to pay off or if you anticipate taking a long time making payments, shop to find a fixed interest rate and lock it in. Variable-interest loans, such as credit cards, an adjustablerate mortgage or home equity line of credit will increase as these are the types of investments that will be primarily affected by changes in the federal funds rate.

That’s because the annual percentage rate, or APR, on these loans is typically a

combination of a percentage rate that’s determined by the borrower’s credit score plus the prime rate. Since the top rate is a benchmark interest rate that tends to follow the trajectory of the federal funds rate, thus. If the Fed funds rate steadily rises, so will the prime rate, translating into a higher overall interest rate on many consumer loans.

This is not something that has necessarily a significant impact on your household budget because you have payment flexibility, however when looking at the long-term picture, you will be saving a lot by switching to fixed rates now. It is an excellent time to consider options for refinancing or making a large purchase in which, you want to lock in the lower prices.

A short fix to get lower interest rates is to do a balance transfer or other form of refinancing. The prospect of rising interest rates makes balance transfer credit card offers particularly appealing for short-term fixes.

Generally, such offers include an introductory period to pay off the balance with no, or a sharply reduced, interest rate.

The period can last for a year or more. Initial balances for credit cards were not always at zero percent. That became the norm over the past six or ten years because the federal funds rate has been so low. It is common to see card balance transfer offers

of 0% percent for periods ranging from 12 months to 18 months. But when the Fed begins raising rates, that will make it less attractive for banks to offer these deals.

These deals will provide time to shop the market and restructure debt. Consider a plan to pay off debt as soon as possible. It makes sense to seek a lower interest rate and to put yourself on solid ground.

Homeowners may be tempted to access the equity in their home to refinance their debts. That can make sense, especially because mortgage interest payments can be deducted come tax time. But remember there’s a

trade-off since you are shifting unsecured debt onto a loan that’s secured by your home.

However, it is always wise for homeowners with equity to establish a Home Equity line of credit, just so that you have a fixed-rate personal loan from a bank or from a peer-to-peer lender, where immediate cash in case of an emergency. You pay no interest until you use it.

We Don’t Like Non-Resident Directors, or Pot Farms, In Our HOA

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL Dear Kelly: Are board members required have to own and live on site to become a board member? I am not finding any information on this in my CC&Rs or rules and regulations, and was wondering if you could shed some light on this question for me.

Thank you in advance. K.Y., Downey Dear K.Y.: Board eligibility standards under the Corporations Code are minimal - a director cannot be a felon and cannot be declared legally incompetent by a court. HOA eligibility standards are usually found in bylaws but can also be found sometimes in the election rules.

The Friars Village v. Hansing case from 2013 confirmed that eligibility standards can be placed in election rules, so long as they do not conflict with the bylaws or CC&Rs. Some associations amend their bylaws or rules to bar directors from running for the

board or serving as director if they are non-residents, have missed several meetings, are suing the HOA, or have a spouse or co-owner already serving on the board, to give some examples.

However, a bill pending in Sacramento may change all that. Senate Bill 1265, authored

by Senator Wieckowski, would overturn the Friars Village v. Hansing decision. If SB 1265 becomes law, the only disqualifications for board service will be if the person is not a member, has committed a felony involving financial dishonesty, or is confirmed delinquent after an internal dispute resolution process.

If the bill becomes law, all other bylaw provisions regarding board eligibility will be voided, basically amending all bylaws. SB 1265 passed the Senate on May 30 by 25 to 12, and is now pending in the Assembly. To read the bill or contact your representative, visit www. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov.

Thanks for your question, Kelly Dear Mr. Richardson: June 6, 2018

I just read your recent article regarding marijuana and HOAs and was curious if the concepts you mention could be applied to my situation: Our small subdivision in Northern California is currently struggling with commercial marijuana cultivation issues in our subdivision and we feel that the state and county are ignoring our desire for a residentialfirst community. Do you have any suggestions for us?

Thanks, K.V., Rancho Navarro Dear K.V.: Do your association CC&R’s state that properties are only to be used for residential purposes, or is commercial use allowed?

I am assuming from your question that the association is residential, and so the covenants probably recite that properties are to be used for residential purposes.

CC&R’s by virtue of their recording on the properties become a “covenant running with the land,” automatically binding all owners subject to those covenants. It basically is a binding contract that

nobody signed, but it still is a binding contract. CC&R’s are quite similar in their impact to an easement.

If a member of the association is violating the CC&R’s, the association is usually considered as the first option for enforcement, particularly if the violation affects other owners. While Civil Code 5975(a) also authorizes individual owners to enforce the covenants if necessary, in the common interest community, litigation should always be the very last resort. Perhaps the board can set a meeting with the owner to discuss the problem of a commercial enterprise in the association.

After Year in Sanctuary, Colorado Woman Pushes People’s Resolution

Rosa Sabido, seen here with her mother Blanca Valdivia, followed orders by ICE to report each year for a temporary stay, until her last request was denied. (Dana Peterson)

By Lornet Turnbull/Broadcast version by Eric Galatas It’s been nearly a year since Rosa Sabido packed up nearly three decades of her life, hugged her ailing mother goodbye, and moved into the sanctuary of a Colorado church and into a life of uncertainty.

On the rare occasion the 54-year-old dares to think about a future beyond the walls of Mancos United Methodist Church where she’s lived since June 2, she envisions herself back in her own little blue house in nearby Cortez, Colorado, next door to her parents, caring for them and her beloved pets.

When it’s all over, she said, “I’d like to go back home and be a normal person and be free, take care of my parents and be with my dogs, so they know I didn’t abandon them.” Her voice breaks.

“That’s really the extent of the future I can dream of.

Sometimes I don’t feel I can dream for a future at all. I feel I’m not allowed to plan.”

Lately, however, Sabido has been finding new reason to hope. She and three other women, mothers who have also taken sanctuary in churches across Colorado, are working on a statewide resolution, a people’s resolution to address the specific gaps in immigration law that led each to where she is now.

With help from their sanctuary coalitions, the four hope to collect endorsements from 10,000 Coloradans; local and state elected officials, including the governor; and faith and business leaders. They plan to deliver the signatures to the nine-member Colorado congressional delegation.

While they may not be able to move the needle on an issue Congress has failed to fix, there’s opportunity for the lawmakers – including four Democrats and five Republicans – to lead.

Colorado is home to a number of immigrant advocacy groups with a strong history of fighting for immigrant rights.

Like many of its biggest cities, it is a sanctuary state and one of only a few states where those without legal documents can still obtain driver’s licenses.

Jennifer Piper, the interfaith organizing director with American Friends Service Committee’s Immigrants Rights Program in Denver, brought the four women and their coalitions together. “I think there’s a lot they can do if they are truly representing a state that is a leader in the country on immigration policy, that allows and encourages immigrants to be part of the fabric of our communities and to be able to contribute as much as possible.”

Their people’s resolution doesn’t call for “comprehensive immigration reform” – the catch-all phrase for a national measure Piper believes has lost all meaning over the years. Rather it targets mid1990s changes to immigration law that made them more restrictive and punitive for millions of immigrants, including some now in sanctuary.

“There are concrete, specific things that Congress can do,” Piper said. “We want to use our stories to show what that means.

Only Coloradans can sign the resolution, either online or in person, but they won’t be able to do so until they agree to take action on some level – whether lobbying local officials or getting others on board. Said Sabido, “This is a movement that is growing and that needs the government’s attention... not councils, not churches. If we make this happen, other states will do the same. It’s also a way to educate people so they’ll understand and endorse it.”

When she first moved into a converted classroom within the church’s fellowship hall last June, Sabido never

imagined she’d be staying as long as she has. And, frankly, neither did anyone else. Her attorney had said a few weeks at most. Just in case, she packed for winter, as well.

She had first come to the U.S. on a visitor’s visa in 1987, along with her mother, to visit her stepfather in Colorado.

Over the next 10 years she traveled back and forth, increasingly spending more time on the U.S. side. In 1998, while returning to Colorado, she was interrogated by immigration authorities about her visits, stripped of her visa, and returned to Mexico.

In light of the life she had started to build in Colorado, Sabido eventually snuck across the border and back into the U.S. Her mother, who had gained legal residency through her marriage and was permanently living in Colorado, filed a green card petition for Sabido in 2001. But even though the petition was approved, the limited number of available visas for people in her family relationship category meant there wouldn’t be one available to her for a very long time.

In 2002, following a failed attempt to correct her status, Sabido was ordered to leave the country. She never did, becoming a fugitive. She continued to build her life in Cortez, holding down several jobs to support herself and help her aging parents. A Catholic, she worked for eight years as secretary at a parish office in Cortez. She’s famous for the homemade tamales that she sells around town.

In 2008, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided her home and later put her under supervision, with the understanding that she’d report to them each year. And she did, and each year she was granted a stay of removal – until last year, when she was notified there would be no more.

June 6, 2018

Sabido vacillated between sanctuary and reporting to ICE anyway, knowing she stood a chance of being detained and eventually deported.

She had five days to decide, to pack up 28 years of her life and plan for a length of stay she couldn’t anticipate. “My church office – I had been there eight years; it was filled with all my stuff. ... I had to pack it all up, talk to my friends. Oh gosh.”

She’d passed the little church on her tamale route many times. Now, she said, “it was a place where I could stay and resist.”

While the number fluctuates from week to week, around 40 people are known to be under sanctuary protection in churches across the country. Only one has been in protection longer than Sabido.

For most of them, sanctuary is the end of the road. “In many cases, immigration is not going to grant a stay and there aren’t any more court remedies,” Piper said. There’s also an understanding that immigration agents, at least for now, won’t enter a church to remove those seeking protection there.

Each week those in sanctuary “get together” via video conferencing as a way to get to know one another.

The Colorado Four and their coalitions had begun talking via Skype about their individual cases and what solution there might be for them.

Trump aside, they recognized that Congress held the power to change immigration laws. The question they faced, Piper said, was this: “How to show the Colorado congressional delegation that people are interested in solutions and committed to taking action?”

“We sat down and started writing,” Piper said. They talked about what in the law kept each of them from being able to adjust their status.

“Even with this group, just a handful of tweaks [in the law] could open the path for – not just them – but potentially millions of people.”

Part of the goal of their People’s Resolution is to help educate people around an issue many so often get wrong.

Like most undocumented immigrants, the women repeatedly field questions about why they hadn’t just gotten legal status before “it came to this,” as if there’s a form they could simply fill out to make that happen.

“The hope is that public pressure will help bring more attention and potential shift in their cases,” Piper said.

“They are committed and aware that this will probably be a long-term strategy.”

The resolution appeals to the delegation to lead the way in repealing aspects of immigration law and creating

a path for those with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and Temporary Protected Status. It also includes specific language seeking to raise awareness among state lawmakers about how state law impacts federal agents’ authority to pick people up.

“If lobbyists for detention can sit down and write legislation and propose it to Congress, we should be able to write legislation, too,” Piper said. At the very least, she said, “we felt we could plant a seed and see if it grows.”

And their idea just might be taking root. While the petition is restricted to Colorado residents, Piper said, the idea is catching on elsewhere. “We are starting to see interest from neighboring states and … national and human rights groups,” she said.

Although Sabido is unable to venture beyond even the sidewalk outside Mancos United, her days are filled with endless activity, much of it orchestrated by members of the community. She ticks them off like a well-rehearsed script.

Some are things she’s always wanted to do, she said, while others are things she “didn’t sign up for.

It’s about being available.

They want to make sure I’m not lonely or bored.”

There’s yoga classes two days a week; weightlifting four days a week.

There are sessions for jewelry and stain-glass making and sewing and basket weaving and gardening. Wednesday evenings is a meditation group and Thursday is a second meditation group. On Tuesdays there’s a meeting of the youth group she helped to set up.

The best days are the days she teaches local people how to cook her famous tamales.

“At night I feel like I have to download my brain; I cannot think,” she said. “It’s a big commitment.” Unmarried and without children, she was someone who valued her alone time. “I’m a simple person, with simple needs, and a big problem.”

In addition to the resolution, her supporters have asked Colorado Republican Rep. Scott Tipton to file a private bill on her behalf. Such legislation is exactly what it sounds like, intended just for her with the aim of getting her on a legal path. But it’s a rarely used tool. And in this political environment, a longshot.

But Tipton, her supporters say, has also not said no.

Sabido said returning to Mexico is always an option. “I know I wouldn’t starve,” she said. But it’s not one she wants to consider just yet. She had a lot of unfinished business here, she said. “I want to fight to stay. After 30 years, I think there’s a reason I’m still here.”

hen it comes to keeping pets at a healthy weight, humans can contribute to both the problem and the solution. Just as people need to control the temptation to overindulge, pet owners need to control the temptation to overindulge their pets.

A survey of pet owners by Royal Canin in 2018 revealed that more than half of cat and dog owners always or often give their pets food if they beg for it, and almost a quarter of cat and dog owners sometimes overfeed their pets to keep them happy .

“When sad eyes plead for one more treat or constant meowing reminds you the treats are in easy reach, it’s common for pet owners to give in to the temptation and play into that begging behavior,” said Dr. Eric Mueller, veterinarian and Royal Canin spokesperson. “Unfortunately, in the long run, those quick responses can have some damaging results for a pet’s overall health.”

Estimates suggest that as many as 59 percent of dogs and 52 percent of cats worldwide are overweight . Yet according to the survey, only a quarter of cat and dog owners describe their pets as overweight.

The survey also revealed owners may not understand how much food cats and dogs need or what they should or should not eat.

The strong emotional bond between owners and their pets may be part of the issue. Many owners express affection for their pets through feeding, which can easily lead to the pet consuming more calories than it needs. In the survey, 59 percent of cat and dog owners said they feel rewarded when feeding their pets and 77 percent said their animals get excited about being fed.

However, many owners are not fully aware of the consequences of overfeeding their pets. More than 60 percent of survey respondents were unaware that overweight pets may be susceptible to diabetes and orthopedic disease. Pet owners also reported a lack of awareness in the relationship between their pets’ excessive weight and reduced quality of life, increased risk of heart disease and shorter z.

Armed with the knowledge that extra treats and table scraps can have a negative impact on a pet’s 1

health, Mueller says it’s never too late to make some changes for the better: Talk to a veterinarian. Obesity is a medical concern. Pet owners should feel comfortable seeing their veterinarian to start a conversation about their pet’s weight. If a veterinarian identifies that there is an issue, he or she can develop a weight loss plan to help a pet reach its ideal weight and body condition, as well as discuss solutions to help control begging during the weight loss process.

Practice smart nutrition. Not surprisingly, proper nutrition is often one of the first solutions a veterinarian is likely to recommend to address a pet’s weight problem. One option your veterinarian may recommend is ROYAL CANIN VETERINARY DIET SATIETY SUPPORT cat and dog formulas, which provide great taste and are clinically proven to support weight loss and help reduce begging. The formulas use the highest industry standards and quality ingredients and are designed to help keep pets feeling full and satisfied between meals.

Focus on portion control.

Although many varieties of pet food include recommended serving sizes on the packaging, those servings are general guidelines and don’t take into account a pet’s unique circumstances and dietary needs. A better approach when ®

working to bring a pet’s weight down is to measure out the recommended feeding amount directed by a veterinarian.

Encourage exercise. Encourage regular physical activity. This can be anything from brief periods of play to long walks.

Remember to adjust the intensity based on the individual abilities of your pet.

Maintain consistency. Changing behaviors can be challenging. Your personal motivation and commitment are critical to the success of your pet’s weight loss

program. Remember that a pet is not likely to immediately understand why the treats have ceased or why mealtime looks different. Attention-seeking behaviors may even amplify for a time. Hold firm and be consistent in resisting those begging eyes and you can find the process becomes easier for both of you.

Farmworkers Sue EPA Over Workplace Protections Delay

By Desert Star Staff PORTLAND, Ore. – Farmworker groups are suing the Environmental Protection Agency for delaying key safety standards for working with pesticides. The 2015 Agricultural Worker Protection Standard requires that pesticide-training materials be updated and improved, but the Trump administration has yet to publish the new materials.

Thousands of farmworkers are poisoned by pesticides every year. Ramon Ramirez is political director with the Oregon farmworkers’ union Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste, one of the groups filing a lawsuit against the EPA. He says it’s a no-brainer to farmworker organizations that the EPA implement these standards and make the new training mandatory to protect workers’ lives.

“And yet, what they’ve

done is delayed it,” says Ramirez. “And so, we couldn’t wait around. We have to protect the people that put the food on our table day in and day out in America, and it’s absurd that the EPA is doing this. So we filed the lawsuit against them.”

The new materials expand and improve the content for pesticide safety training. The attorneys general of New York, California and Maryland have also filed lawsuits challenging the delay. Opponents of the measure say it will impose extra costs on the industry, possibly leading to fewer jobs.

Hannah Chang is a staff attorney with Earthjustice, which is representing farmworker groups in the suit. Chang says agriculture and crop production is one of the most hazardous industries to work in.

“Pesticide exposures

are not just acute, but also chronic exposures from daily, minimal exposures over a long period of time that may not result in an obvious poisoning incident but have chronic

well-documented cancer and non-cancer health effects on workers,” says Chang.

Under the Obama administration, the EPA estimated that the new

Worker Protection Standard rule would help workers avoid being poisoned and thus save $64 million a year in healthcare costs.

By Desert Star Staff CATHEDRAL CITY, CA. –The City Council of Cathedral City issued a proclamation recognizing the month of June as Immigrant Heritage Month in Cathedral City, California.

Immigrant Heritage Month is an opportunity to reflect on our shared immigrant heritage, and to celebrate the

meaningful and positive ways immigrants impact communities across the country.

In Cathedral City, immigrants enrich our community through their civic and economic contributions and help us build a stronger future through their hard work, talents, and American values. Our diverse immigrant

community has helped the State of California create an economic engine that is equal to the fifth largest economy in the world.

“Unless your heritage is derived from Native American Indians, then all of us are considered immigrants or descendants of immigrants,” stated Mayor Stan Henry.

“Immigrants have brought with them new ideas, skill sets, and cultural practices that have led to scientific and medical breakthroughs, technological advances, arts and entertainment masterpieces, and a plethora of cuisine choices envied by the most accomplished master chefs.”

LGBT Detainees Face Sexual Assault in ICE Detention

By Desert Star Staff PHOENIX — New data shows lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender immigrants are 97 times more likely to face sexual assault in federal detention centers than the general population.

Analysis from the Center for American Progress shows detention centers are especially dangerous for transgender immigrants. In addition to cases of sexual assault, it reports cases of transgender women being held in facilities

for men, or sometimes in solitary confinement.

In response to recent written questions from Congresswoman Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y., on Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s handling of LGBT detainees, the agency replied it was, “committed to faithfully executing our duty to enforce immigration laws.”

But Sharita Gruberg, associate director at The Center for American Progress, said she fears the Department

of Homeland Security hasn’t been taking appropriate steps to protect LGBT immigrants.

“DHS is supposed to do a risk-classification assessment on people during intake,” Gruberg said. “And for people who are particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse, that is supposed to factor in from the first step of when they’re deciding, ‘Do we detain this person or not’ to ‘Where do we detain this individual?’ “ The Trump administration has vowed to tighten policies

at the U.S.-Mexico border for reasons of national security. In April, President Donald Trump issued a memorandum asking immigration enforcement not to release detainees as they await immigration hearings.

But Gruberg said the increasing federal pressure to keep more people in custody is putting LGBT immigrants in situations where they’re more likely to face assault.

She said LGBT people make up only about 0.1 percent of the population in ICE custody, and many of them are seeking asylum from sexual violence or discrimination

in their own countries.

“These are people who have a very strong claim to protection in the U.S. and they usually are folks who have, at the border, shown themselves and asked for asylum,” she said. “They’re trying to get protection; they’re not trying to hide.”

Thirty-seven members of Congress, including Arizona Democrat Raul Grijalva, this week sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security asking to address concerns over the safety of LGBT detainees.

New Medicare Cards Seen as Opportunity for Scammers

By Desert Star Staff BISMARCK, N.D. – New Medicare cards soon will be on their way to more than 120,000 North Dakotans and 58 million Americans nationwide.

Unfortunately, scammers eye this as opportunity to steal people’s identity.

The new cards actually are meant to increase security for beneficiaries by removing their Social Security numbers from the cards and replacing them with Medicare ID numbers.

However, a recent AARP survey found three-quarters of Medicare enrollees didn’t know or had little knowledge of the plan to issue new cards.

Josh Askvig, director of AARP North Dakota, says there are reports in the state of people posing as Medicare representatives over the phone.

“They call a beneficiary on the phone and demand a payment via credit card of a processing fee,” he relates.

“So, they say, ‘Hey, you need to pay this processing fee and we’ll issue you a new card.’

Well, there’s no fee for the

Half of enrollees wouldn’t question someone who said they were from Medicare and asked for their Social Security numbers, according to an AARP survey. (jijieforsythe/Twenty20) new card. No fee exists.”

Askvig says scammers have also been asking for people’s Social Security numbers and bank account information.

He notes that Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services officials will never call unsolicited to ask for personal information.

Cards are expected to be in the mail for North

Dakotans after this month.

The AARP study on new Medicare cards finds people are vulnerable to fraud. Six in 10 respondents weren’t sure if the new cards came with a fee, and half wouldn’t question a call from Medicare officials asking for their Social Security numbers.

Askvig advises people to hang up immediately if they get a call like this.

Center for Health Journalism

By Desert Star Staff We’re writing to alert you to an exciting opportunity for California journalists (or journalists elsewhere on assignment for a media outlet with a California audience) -- the Center for Health Journalism’s all-expensespaid 2018 California Data Fellowship, which comes with four days of interactive training, six months of mentoring and a $2,000$3,500 reporting stipend.

Our 15-year-old Center is known nationally as the pre-eminent national training program for journalists on community health issues.

With an explosion of data sets now available to any journalist with a computer and a highspeed internet connection, we’re pleased to be able to offer our third health data-focused fellowship. www.desertstarweekly.com

We’ll bring 10 competitively selected California journalists to Los Angeles at our expense from October 17-20; provide them with four days of intensive skills-based training in data acquisition, cleansing, analysis and visualization; and then send them home with reporting grants to work on an ambitious health-related reporting project. Two of the nation’s most respected data journalists will lead the sessions and serve as mentors over the next six months--Stanford Professor Cheryl Phillips, former data innovation editor at the Seattle Times, and Paul Overberg, a data reporter for the Wall St. Journal--with assistance from other top data journalists from around the country.

We’ll also bring your editor to L.A. for a day or two to

take part in an Editor-Fellow brainstorming workshop.

Applicants must be comfortable using Excel and propose an ambitious data-informed Fellowship project on health policy; mental health and substance abuse; healthcare costs and healthcare financing; the performance of California’s

“We then encourage you to report it to the AARP Fraud Watch Network so that we can keep track of where these scammers might be calling into, because if they’re often calling into your community or your neighborhood, it’s likely your neighbors and friends and other community members will receive a similar type of call,” he states.

safety net; the patient experience; the healthcare workforce; healthcare coordination; the use of opioid drugs; end-of-life and palliative care; telemedicine and the use of technology in healthcare delivery; data transparency and the healthcare industry; maternity care; or cancer care.

One Fellow will be eligible for a $3,500 grant (in lieu of the $2,000 grant) for a project that focuses on children 5 and under in Los Angeles County. And supplemental community engagement grants of up to $2,000 will be available to a few Fellows.

The Fellowship is underwritten by grants from the California Health Care Foundation, The California Endowment and First 5 LA. Want to know more?

How is communication network at home and with neighbors?

Do you need a new phone (with no static?), computer upgrade, more reliable technology and sources of information?

Mercury, the messenger, sitting in your living room is looking around and assessing just how good is your ability to reach out, have Right Human Relations and make contact. Mercury reminds us that Contact Releases Love.

TAURUS You will be communicating on a higher more spiritual level. It’s already begun and if you observe yourself each day notice you’re reading, speaking, teaching, thinking, planning, focusing your ideals and opinions, and sending out important messages in all directions. Though it’s unusual for this to occur, it’s greatly needed for the elimination of all illusions and distortions concerning the truth (which isn’t relative at all).

GEMINI The themes to ponder concern values, resources and money… themes, yes, that have been mentioned before. And with the retro next they’ll continue and deepen. It’s good to answer the following questions; 1) How are your finances?

2) What are your resources? 3) What’s of value to you. 4) Are you of value? 5) How and why?

Write by hand the answers in your esoteric journal.

CANCER It’s a good idea, a healthy one, to begin a consistent exercise program carried out each day at the same hour. You might find yourself more excitable and nervous than usual. Exercise calms and diminishes these difficulties, focusing your mental abilities through daily planning.

When asked “What is mine to do this day?”Your answer is “exercise.” Keep moving.

LEO Many internal realities are occurring in the form of thoughts, ideas, revelations, aspirations and plans. In several months some of them will enter form and matter. Is the past presently taking up much of your thinking? Are you missing someone or thinking of people no longer in your life? Speaking with them is still possible. Visualize a line of light from your Soul to theirs.

Meet them at the center of Light. Both hearts then open.

VIRGO It’s good to ponder upon what your ideals, expectations and goals in life are. Are these ideals and goals from your heart or the heart and mind of another? It’s good also to consider what your ethics and principles are, and what integrity means to you? In terms of principles, in the

Aquarian Age there are three principles we are to abide by.

Do you know what they are?

LIBRA Have your worldly plans worked out as expected? Has your daily life improved? For career advancement it’s good to gain a greater mastery in something you’re interested in. What would that be? All communications at work assume vital importance now.

Careful not to make anything too complicated – from foods to exercise to expectations of others’ behaviors. Expectations create disappointments.

SCORPIO You seek the mysteries of life, the larger view of life and to know the puzzle of how all the complicated various parts fit together. Culture, art, religions (especially), the law, geography, journeys, pilgrimages, the plains, horses, and various philosophies call to you. The question always is what to choose? Do travel here and there, out and about.

You need new exposure, new vistas to explore.

Unless you want responses.

By Desert Star Staff Your time outside can quickly lead to an increased risk of exposure to dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays that can cause a sun spot on the white of the eye called a pinguecula.

These may look yellow in appearance and cause irritation over time. Moreover, long-term exposure to harmful UV rays can cause the formation of cataracts, leading to blurred vision and can ultimately require cataract surgery to correct.

Unfortunately, most people aren’t doing enough to protect their eyes from the sun, even if they are aware of the risks. According to The Vision Council, 75 percent of Americans are concerned about UV eye exposure, but only 31 percent wear sunglasses every time they go outside. You’re probably spending a fair amount of time protecting skin by applying sunscreen, so why not make sure that you’re doing the same for your eyes?

Consider these tips to find the right pair of sunglasses this summer:

• Only about half of people who wear sunglasses say they check the UV rating before buying a pair, according to a national Sun Safety Survey conducted by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Make sure your sunglasses provide 100 percent UV protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Look for a sticker or a label on sunglass lenses that indicates 100 percent UV protection.

• Consider polarized lenses, which reduce or eliminate glare and reflected sunlight off the surface of water.

• It’s especially important that kids and teens wear sunglasses from an early age. By the time you turn 18, you have received 75-80 percent of your lifetime UV exposure, according to the World Health Organization.

• No matter your age, go for big frames. Larger frames and wrap-around styles provide extra UV protection by blocking rays that come in from the side.

• Think about lens color.

Great for aesthetic reasons, different lens colors can help

serve different purposes.

You may want to go with gray lenses for true color perception or brown/amber lenses if you want to see more visible contrasts.

• Consider your lifestyle before selecting a pair. If you’re active in sports, your optometrist can help you select sunglasses and lenses that can protect your eyes and help optimize your performance.

Quality sunglasses that provide maximum UV protection can still be fashionable. You can explore and purchase a variety of brands and styles on eyeconic.com, where you can also connect to a local eye doctor through VSP Vision Care’s network of optometrists. Eyeconic is the only online retailer that allows you to shop for glasses, sunglasses, and contacts using your vision benefits.

Give your eyes the treatment they deserve.

Be sure your daily sunwear routine goes beyond a great SPF to include eye protection. StatePoint

‘Game Night’--A Frothy Comedy Thriller Now On DVD Competition can bring folks together or create havoc. It all depends on the circumstances. In the Warner Bros. comedy “Game Night,” starring Justin Bateman and Rachel McAdams as Max and Annie, the pair meet during a quiz night at a local pub. They fiercely compete against one another and are the two best players, each on a different team. In no time they decide to team up as a couple.

Soon after they get married, they decide to have a baby. However, problems arise. To resolve them they see a doctor/marriage counselor for help. During one of their sessions, Annie reveals that Max may be intimidated by his older brother’s success and that feeling of being second best may be the reason things are not working in the baby-making department.

Several weeks later Max’s taller, richer, even more, competitive brother Brooks (Kyle Chandler) shows up at their front door. He will be in town for awhile on business, and he wants to spend quality time with his baby

brother. He also tells Max and Annie that he would like to join the game nights the duo hosts every week with their competitive friends.

Gary (Jesse Plemons), the creepily awkward cop next door, also wants to be a part of game night. Every time he sees the couple he drops huge hints that he is ready, willing and able to play. However, Max and Annie have been successful at changing the subject. Little do they know that Gary will come in handy someday.

Bateman and McAdams have on-screen chemistry. You can’t help liking them. You also love Kyle Chandler as the older brother who has some secrets in his past that will soon lead to horrifying consequences.

The Blu-ray + DVD + Digital comes with two bonus features: “An Unforgettable Evening: Making Game Night” and a Gag Reel.

“Game Night,” from Warner Bros., is rated R for language, sexual references, and some violence. Running time is 1 hour, 40 minutes.

By Desert Star Staff With warmer weather, people often spend more time on summer trips with family. These trips can be more enjoyable when your four-legged friends tag along, but it can be less of a vacation if your pets are uncomfortable on the road.

“Taking pets out of their homes can induce stress on both the pets and the owners, so it’s important to keep them comfortable and safe while traveling,” said Jessa Paschke, behavior and training specialist at Mars Petcare. “Surrounding them with some of their favorite things from home

his problems he heads into the underworld on the Day of the Dead, hoping to find answers and get some help. The film won the Best Animated Film Oscar and “Remember Me” from the movie won an Academy Award for Best Song.

“Ferdinand” is the story of a bull who doesn’t want to fight in the bullring. Instead, he would rather smell the flowers.

It is based on the delightful storybook “Ferdinand the Bull.”

And last, but not least,

check out “Paddington 2.” In this second Paddington film, the lovable bear winds up in jail, accused of stealing a pop-up book that he wanted to buy as a present for his auntie far away. The actual book thief is his family’s neighbor (Hugh Grant) who wants the book because it contains hidden clues to a treasure. As always you root for Paddington, and all turns out well in the end.

can help reduce any anxiety and keep your pet happy anywhere you go.”

Keep these tips in mind when taking your pet on a summer road trip: • See your vet before you go. Be sure to visit your veterinarian prior to taking off. Especially when traveling with an older pet, your vet can do a quick check-up to help identify any potential issues that could arise while traveling.

If you’re crossing state lines, you also may need to get a health certificate for your pet.

• Find pet-friendly stops along the route. Long drives often require frequent stops, but don’t forget that your pets

need pit stops, too. Find a rest stop that has a grassy area for them to expel some energy and take care of their business. Be sure to keep your pets on leashes to keep them from roaming freely in unfamiliar places. If you’re stopping overnight, don’t forget to call ahead to make sure your accommodations are pet friendly.

• Keep your pet comfortable. Bring a few of your pet’s favorite things along for the ride to surround them with familiar smells.

Whether it’s your dog’s bed and rope toy or your cat’s crunchy TEMPTATIONS™ Treats, packing a few favorites

can easily make anywhere feel like home. If it’s your pet’s first road trip, try some pre-travel road trip training by taking him on more frequent car rides. It’ll help him become acclimated to riding along so he’ll be more comfortable for the longer trip.

• Check your pet’s ID. Before embarking on a trip, make sure your pet’s nametag is secured to their collar and the information is up-to-date. Also be sure your pet is microchipped. In the event your furry friend gets lost, it’s one of the best ways to locate him or her. You can take safety one step further by adding a GPS tracker to the collar, like the WHISTLE™ Pet Tracker. This handy device can alert your phone if your pet strays too far.

• Avoid Bad Breath.

When the family is crammed into a car, pet breath can

put a damper on your drive.

Oral health products such as GREENIES™ Dental Treats for dogs and cats and PEDIGREE® DENTASTIX™ Treats for dogs promote fresh breath and clean teeth. With a clean mouth and fresh breath, your family can get “road trip close” with your pet and share endless hugs and kisses on the road this summer.

“Pets are involved in all aspects of our lives, including vacations,” Paschke said. “Help your fur-family stay healthy, happy and comfortable when traveling by keeping these simple tips in mind before your next road trip.”

West Coast Premiere of “The Father” at North Coast Rep Theatre

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Member American Theatre Critics Association (ATCA) In the world of theatre and its artistic kissing-cousins cinema and television, everything begins with “the word” (both Biblically and artistically). Good creative writing can elevate performances to greater moments on stage when those words rest in the creative hands of gifted trained actors.

North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT) Artistic Director David Ellenstein, has a penchant for selecting plays that challenge, yet still entertain, his savvy, sophisticated audiences, donors, and supporters. Case in point is the West Coast Premiere production of “The Father”, from the pen of

cast. There is humor in all of life’s endeavors. It’s hiding in plain sight. We just need to confront and embrace life in all its binary forms, ie, happy and sad. Good and bad, right and wrong, love and loss; after all we’re only alive for nanoseconds on this turbulent blue orb spinning away toward the never ending expanding universe.

Broadway and film star Frank Langella won his third Tony playing Andre, the father of the play’s title. His take was to play him as a man dealing with anger management issues trying to beat the rap, so to speak. That’s merely one actor’s darker vision.

It’s not thankfully, the only way to tell Andre’s story of what’s going on in this nonlinear, flash forward; flash backward, comic-tragedy play on stage at NCRT. Audiences of NCRT’s production catch on quickly to

Shana Wride, Richard Baird, James Sutorius. Photo by Aaron Rumley French writer and playwright Florian Zeller now on stage at NCRT that is skillfully directed by Ellenstein.

Zeller’s latest play, a tragic/ comedy with a translation from multi-award winning Tony and Oscar playwright/translator Christopher Hampton, practically guarantee’s one an evening of stimulating quality theatre. Hampton does all the translations for French/Iranian playwright Yasmina Reza of “Art” and “God of Carnage” fame, as well as Zeller’s plays.

Director Ellenstein has gathered a wonderful cast that breathes life into Zeller’s on-the-nose play of a subject matter that has been vexing societies for millennia: Dementia and now, how we as a 21st century society, are beginning to come to grips with end-of-life issues; that ultimately come to everyone on the planet.

Now before you turn the page and tune out. Wait. You will be depriving yourself of a life-affirming opportunity to not only to learn, but to enjoy as well from this splendid production and

the reason of Andre’s behavior.

His speech is peppered, mainly with bewilderment, not anger, which to me is part of the beauty of live theatre. Not only is every production new or

hidden character barriers and nuances in their performances as they search for that perfect theatrical moment.

The performance by journeyman actor James

Sutorius, is a triumph of timing, introspective analysis, and a delivery that rings true, as well as poignant. It’s a star-turn performance richly nuanced and deserving of the standing ovation that he and the entire cast received on opening night.

The story in short, set in Paris, in the present, centers around Andre (Sotorious) who is sliding ever so quickly into his dementia, to the concern of his daughter Anne (a caring but frustrated Robyn Cohen), who realizes that her father can’t be left alone to live by himself any longer. He accuses his visiting health-care worker of stealing his watch, which Anne always finds in his secret hiding place where he keeps his valuables.

He doesn’t recognize his son-in-law Pierre (Mathew Salazar-Thompson), anymore and repeatedly asks Anne what is this man doing in his apartment? Dementia patients can’t grasp the reasons why they’re in a strange situation in the first place. To them everyone else is confused.

These are poignant tripwire moments and behavior that some members of the audience will no doubt recall

in their own families and those of relatives and friends. I can attest to that on a personal basis. Solid support from Jacque Wilke as Laura, Shana Wride as The Woman, and Richard Baird as The Man, is the icing on the cake of this stellar production.

As usual, resident set designer Marty Burnett, and resident lighting designer Matt Novotny provide a sleek, beautiful Paris apartment set, which magically become different rooms and a hospital room which is then splashed with lights of muted white and hues of blue; very Parisan.

The costume designs of Elisa Benzoni, are appropriate and functional. The sound design

by Melanie Chen Cole is spoton. Kudos for selecting chello music, which is so appropriate.

Prop designs by Holly Gillard complete the creative team led by director Ellenstein. Aaron Rumley stages manages this excellent production.

“The Father”, performs without an intermission at about 95 minutes, at North Coast Repertory Theatre, in Solana Beach, CA and runs through June 24, 2018.

Is NC Ready for Launch of Hurricane Season?

By Desert Star Staff WILMINGTON, N.C. – While Tropical Depression Alberto prompted the extreme flooding experienced

by North Carolina this week, hurricane season is officially beginning Friday.

Eight major flood-related disasters costing more than $410 million in public assistance have impacted the state since 2010. What’s complicating this season is what happened last season, according to Gavin Smith, who researches hazard mitigation at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“The communities are still in the midst of recovering from Hurricane Matthew, and that’s going to add additional challenges to not only preparedness, but just the fact that they are in the midst of recovering, which makes them vulnerable in some ways to future damages,” says Smith.

The flood insurance program is set to expire July 31, and Smith and others

are calling on Congress to reauthorize and update the program. The National Flood Insurance Program paid out more than $640 million dollars for damages related to Hurricane Matthew, and there are 134,000 NFIP policies in the state.

After Hurricanes Fran and Floyd, North Carolina purchased 5,000 homes and cleared land along the coast to reduce damage from future storms. Craig Fugate is a former administrator for the Federal Emergency Management Agency and says massive storms in the 1990s prompted the state to be proactive, but there’s a vulnerability that remains.

“North Carolina has been very progressive to get better information and better data for their maps, but it still comes down to too many people in North Carolina are told they don’t live in a flood zone, yet they still have a flood risk,” says Fugate.

Homeowners are able

The North Carolina Army National Guard delivered food and supplies to communities in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, and many of those communities are still trying to recover. (NC National Guard/flickr) to purchase flood insurance no matter where they live, but are not required to if they don’t live in a designated flood zone. Smith says the NFIP program is in serious need of an update.

“The flood insurance program is in financial trouble, in the sense that

because of these major hurricanes, one striking after another, the expected payout from the flood insurance program is quite large and so Congress has actually had to appropriate additional funding,” says Smith.

The insurance program is beginning the 2019 season

at least $15 billion in debt.

While some argue that private insurers can step in to offer coverage to homeowners, others say the private sector isn’t big enough to take on the NFIP’s five million policies.

Leading Scientists from Opposing Sides of the Climate Change Debate

By Desert Star Staff ST. PAUL, Minn. — Midwest soybean farmers have come to rely on the agricultural system built up around international trade, and are closely watching what proposed tariffs might do to commodities such as soybeans.

University of Minnesota agronomist Seth Naeve tracks trade issues and said soybeans are as dependent - or more so - on international trade than any

other crop grown in the U.S. “Well, the soybean industry in the U.S. is entirely dependent on trade,” Naeve said. “So around 60 percent of our soybeans go out of the country.”

China warned Sunday that all trade talks between Beijing and Washington would be void if the U.S. sets up trade sanctions. Last month China threatened to impose 25 percent tariffs on soybeans if proposed tariffs

of $50 billion on Chinese goods were enacted.

Naeve said it’s taken decades for Midwest farmers to secure soybean markets overseas and export products there. It’s now estimated that one in three rows of U.S. soybeans is exported to China, for a market value of $12 billion annually.

Naeve said a trade war is especially concerning to farmers, who have already suffered lower farm incomes

during the past four years.

“With the farmers, their margins are very, very, very thin,” he said. “They’ve been banking on increased yields and continued prices. And if they have either a crop failure or prices decline, there’s going to be a real farm crisis.”

Some agricultural traders have already confirmed reports that uncertainy in the market has caused China to increase soybean purchases from Canada and Brazil. Neave

noted that price comes first for soybean buyers - meaning they will seek out other countries such as Argentina or Brazil if the price is better than what the U.S. can offer.

“Brazil has a large capacity to increase production,” he said; “and so they’re going to be more competitive the longer this goes on.”

Minnesota is the nation’s third-largest producer of soybeans, behind Illinois and Iowa.

Idahoans Wearing Orange This Weekend to Protest Gun Violence

By Desert Star Staff BOISE, Idaho – Idahoans are raising awareness about gun violence this weekend by painting the state orange.

Friday is National Gun Violence Awareness Day, and advocates are marking it with events across the nation and throughout the weekend.

At 8 p.m. Friday, a vigil for the victims of gun violence will be held at the Linen Building in Boise in partnership with the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence. Both the Linen Building and One Capital Center will be lit in orange.

Amber Labelle, Boise lead of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, says there is a lot of energy around ending gun violence this year.

“It’s a tragic thing that that momentum is necessary but it’s also encouraging to see everyday Americans standing together with their neighbors, with their family

members, with their coworkers and saying, ‘This is something that’s important to us,’” says Labelle.

Orange was chosen because that’s the color the friends of Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old who was shot and killed in Chicago in 2013, wore in her honor. Labelle also notes it’s the color hunters wear to be seen and is meant to reflect the value of life.

On Saturday, there will an event at 10 a.m. at Boise Town Hall Plaza, and Moms Demand Action also is sponsoring the YWCA Embrace Race Color Run in Lewiston.

School shootings tend to attract the most attention, but Labelle says another tragic piece of gun violence occurs between domestic partners.

She says more than half of women killed by guns are killed by intimate partners, and that American women are 16 times more likely to

By Desert Star Staff As temperatures soared at the weekend, an Oxfordshire school told its male students that they can join their female peers by donning the school skirt if they find trousers too hot and uncomfortable.

The advice issued by Chiltern Edge Secondary School came after the school introduced a ‘more formal’ uniform policy at the beginning of the school year, which stipulated that students’ legwear may only be either trousers or skirts.

Following the policy change, requests made by parents inquiring if their sons could instead wear tailored shorts in lieu of trousers in warmer weather were rejected by the school, according to the Mail Online.

However, since the uniform policy was ‘gender neutral,’ boys could instead wear a skirt if they wished.

Alastair Vince-Porteous, the parent who made the request to Chiltern Edge, told the Mail: “It’s a shame we can’t be more grown up about it, we aren’t asking for ra-ra skirts or skinny jeans, just grey tailored shorts for two months a year, it’s not a big deal.”

The growing popularity of adopting gender-neutral uniform policies have grown among UK schools since the introduction of the Equality Act in 2010. Under its provisions, the law leaves schools with a duty to protect transgender students from discrimination.

As part of efforts to make transgender students feel more welcome, there has been a growing trend across British schools of adopting genderneutral dress codes, allowing students the choice of uniform.

The Guardian reports that 120 schools adopted a gender-neutral uniform policy, quoting statistics from

More than half of women killed by guns are killed by an intimate partner. (S Pakhrin/Wikimedia Commons) be killed by guns than in other developed countries.

Labelle says some very loud voices push back against sensible gun restrictions and drown out other Idahoans, but don’t represent most Second Amendment supporters in the state.

“We know that the majority of gun owners support legislation that prevents dangerous folks – and that includes people who have been convicted of intimate-partner violence – from accessing guns,” says Labelle.

Labelle says folks can get involved simply by tying an orange ribbon around a tree in their front yard in order to raise awareness about gun violence. More than 400 events are planned around the country for Wear Orange Weekend.

charity Educate & Celebrate.

Dr Elly Barnes, founder of the charity, said: “In our experience, primary schools are adopting [the program] faster than secondary schools.

There doesn’t seem to be any type of school that’s more likely to take it up than any other, and no particular part of the country where there’s

less or more take-up.”

However, boys had been wearing skirts in protest long before schools adopted gender-neutral uniform policies.

Last year, boys attending ISCA College in Exeter skirted up in protest against their school’s no-shorts policy during a bout of balmy weather.

The skirty protest was

less about raising awareness of transgender issues, with one parent saying: “The boys see the women teachers in sandals and nice cool skirts and tops while they are wearing long trousers and shoes and the older boys have to wear blazers. They just think it’s unfair that they can’t wear shorts in this heat,” she added.

Oxford school tells boys to wear skirts if it’s too hot for pants

Sixth Street, Corona, CA 92882 at 9:00 a.m. AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable at the time of sale in lawful money of the United States), all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State hereinafter described. The property address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purposed to be: 66585 Granada Avenue, Desert Hot Springs, CA The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of 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: $98,856.50 (estimated). In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. In the event tender other than cash is accepted the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid principal balance of the Note secured by said Deed with interest thereon as provided in said Note, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 telephone number for information regarding the trustee’s sale 916-939-0772 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 180205 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.

Newseum to Add 18 Journalists Killed in 2017

By Desert Star Staff WASHINGTON, -USNewswire/ The Newseum will rededicate its Journalists Memorial, which recognizes men and women who were killed while reporting the news. The names of 18 journalists been added to the memorial to represent all those who died in pursuit of the news in 2017. CBS News foreign correspondent Holly Williams will delivered keynote

remarks during the ceremony.

This year, eight of the 18 journalists added to the memorial are women.

The Committee to Protect Journalists reports that 46 journalists were killed on the job in 2017, and eight of them — or 17 percent — were women. That marks an unusual increase over previous years, when women represented 7 percent, on average, of the journalists who

died reporting the news. Click here to view a complete list of the journalists being added to the memorial this year.

“Some of these women were killed covering news in war zones,” said Cathy Trost, executive director of the Freedom Forum Institute. “Others were brutally murdered for reporting stories that challenged the powerful.

All the journalists recognized on this memorial this year

faced unprecedented dangers as they worked to report the news, often in countries where press freedom is imperiled or nonexistent.”

Also today, the Newseum has blacked out its Today Front Pages exhibit as part of its annual #WithoutNews campaign. The social media campaign encourages the public to consider what the world would be like without journalists to

report the news, and raises awareness of threats to journalists around the world.

With the addition of 18 journalists this year, the Journalists Memorial bears the names of 2,323 reporters, photographers, broadcasters and news executives from around the world, dating back to 1837. Source: PRNewswire

By Desert Star Staff Rudy Giuliani has caused quite a stir on social media, after saying that US President Donald Trump would “probably” be able to pardon himself. He was answering a question related to Robert Mueller’s ‘Russiagate’ probe.

The president’s personal attorney made the remarks on ABC’s ‘The Week’ program on Sunday. Asked whether Trump has the power to pardon himself, Giuliani claimed the president “probably does,” adding that the constitution “doesn’t say he can’t.” The former New York mayor later conceded that such a course of action would lead to “impeachment.”

“It would be an open question,” Giuliani told the show’s host, George Stephanopoulos. “I think it would probably get answered by, gosh, that’s what the constitution says.”

Giuliani also claimed that Trump had the authority to end the investigation into him in comments that come hot on the heels of the publication of a 20-page document sent to Mueller from Trump’s legal team earlier this year. The special counsel’s investigation centers on accusations of collusion between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia.

The document outlines

the president’s legal strategy and argues that Trump cannot be indicted, subpoenaed or found guilty of obstruction of justice because he is the nation’s “chief law enforcement officer.” The document also argues that Trump “could, if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon if he so desired.”

Speaking on CNN, former US attorney Preet Bharara said: “It would be outrageous” for a sitting president to pardon himself. “I think [if] the president decided he was going to pardon himself, I think that’s almost self-executing impeachment,” Bharara told CNN’s ‘State of the Union.’

On the same show, Republican House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said the president “should not” pardon himself. “The president is not saying he is going to pardon himself.

The president never said he pardoned himself,” McCarthy said. “I don’t think a president should pardon themselves.”

The remarks caused a stir online. Many hit out at the idea of the president abusing the pardon power, while others raged at the perceived double standard employed by his personal attorney.

Trump has consistently rubbished the investigation into potential collusion between his campaign and Russia, labelling

the probe “fake news” and a “hoax.” Only once before has he directly referenced his own presidential powers.

Writing in a tweet in July 2017, the president asserted his “complete power to pardon” in response to the investigation

into Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 election.

Tips to prepare your home for summer entertaining

By Desert Star Staff Summer entertaining season brings joy, laughter and plenty of ways to create special memories. From a fresh coat of paint to some simple sprucing up, you can ensure your home is poised to be the perfect backdrop to a fun-filled summer.

Color can have an enormous effect on a room’s overall atmosphere, so bringing out your home’s unique charm can be as simple as a quick change of wall color. Change up the feel of your space and make each room warm and welcoming with these tips from Valspar Paint and HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams’ Senior Color Designers, Sue Kim and Ashley Banbury.

Clean and clear. Warmer weather is the perfect opportunity to throw open the windows to help lighten and brighten your home. Give every nook and cranny a thorough scrub and organize areas that have grown messy. Try taking on one room at a time to make the job more manageable, and before you know it, you can have the whole house sparkling clean. Take it one step further by adding a clean and refreshing shade of paint to your space. Consider an option like the Quiet Comfort Color Collection from HGTV HOME

by Sherwin-Williams, which is a palette of 20 hushed hues that, when used in any combination, can cultivate a neat and tidy vibe throughout your home.

Uncover a creative focal point. During your cleaning, you may uncover open wall space or find an overlooked corner that is now visible.

Change newfound free space into a family gallery wall.

Paint it with a deep accent color like Valspar Favorite Green and create texture by adding open shelving to display important family mementos or experiences.

Switch up your motif.

You may wish to update the decor of an entire room, but simple swaps can make a big difference. Try introducing more lively, summery textiles with fresh window coverings, area rugs and throw pillows.

Swap some of your darker, heavier accent pieces in favor

of bright, inviting decorative pieces that do dual-duty, such as colorful coasters that add whimsy while giving guests a place to rest their drinks.

Change your kitchen into a hub for entertaining. Bring a breath of fresh air into your kitchen by creating a pleasing, relaxing environment fit for entertaining with a blend of bright and bold colors like Valspar Emerald Ice and Indigo Cloth. Try the reassuring indigo for the base of the island, a central hub, and the light and airy emerald green as a backdrop for a stylish gathering spot that can get guests feeling instantly at ease.

Make it feel like home.

Part of making your house as inviting as possible is ensuring that guests feel comfortable and welcome. Creating a guest suite that feels inviting can help make guests feel at home during their visit.

While you can do this by stocking up on cozy blankets and towels, you shouldn’t underestimate the power of a warm, nurturing wall color.

For example, the Timeless Beauty Color Collection from HGTV HOME by SherwinWilliams, instilled with a sense of classic coziness, is full of pleasant shades that can be mixed and matched to create your perfectly coordinated, desired vibe.
