Staying Cool

DHS Clean-Up Teams with MSWD By Jackie Devereaux Desert Hot Springs, Calif. - One lucky local resident will stay cool this summer thanks to the efforts by volunteers of the Desert Hot Springs Cleanup Committee and the Mission Springs Water District. Joseph Selph, a 74-yearold, disabled, retired surgical nurse received the good news in May that local volunteers would clean up his yard, dispose of trash, and cut down dead shrubbery courtesy of the DHS Cleanup Committee. Mr. Selph also got his old, non-functional evaporative cooler replaced thanks to the generous donation by the Mission Springs Water District

and installed by Phil and Mike Segrist Air Conditioning. “Upon learning about the project, Mission Spring Water District was proud to partner with the DHS CleanUp Committee and help Mr. Selph with his evaporative cooler needs,” said Marion Champion, Programs and Public Affairs Manager for the Mission Springs Water District. “Operating properly, evaporative coolers can use between 3 and 15 gallons of water per hour. Working improperly, they can waste hundreds of gallons. To reduce your personal water footprint we recommend customers make sure their

Lynyrd Skynyrd Continues to Soar

Lynyrd Skynyrd performing on May 13, 2022. Who: Lynyrd Skynyrd Where: Los Angeles County Fair When: Friday, May 13, 2022 Next: Visit www. lynyrdskynyrd.com Music historians — as well as the rock and roll faithful — know better than to ever count Lynyrd Skynyrd out. Indeed a tragic plan crash on Oct. 20, 1977 that took the lives of three band members including singer Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steve Gaines marked the beginning of a series of tragic turns that have seen the passing of guitarist Allen Collins, keyboardist Billy Powell, bassist Leon Wilkeson, drummer Bob Burns, backing vocalist JoJo Billingsley and guitarist Hughie Thomasson.

The latest challenge for the enduring Southern rock troupe included founding guitarist Gary Rossington undergoing emergency heart surgery in July 2021. Fast forward to Friday the 13th (May 13, 2022) and the band was headlining before a capacity crowd at the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona, CA. Although not able to run about, Johnny Van Zant — who noted he underwent knee surgery a month ago — was on his feet during most of the set and sounded great. Early in the set Van Zant said of Rossington: “He is still on the mend and getting better.” The singer also noted that Rossington had told his

band mates to go to California and “I’ll be there in spirit.” Delivering more than 90 minutes of Skynyrd favorites, this kickoff of the “Big Wheels Keep On Turning’ World Tour” (continuing through the end of September) found Southern rock’s most enduring Rock and Roll Hall of Famers celebrating their survival and legacy with a set that inspired throughout. Touring guitarist Damon Johnson (Alice Cooper, Thin Lizzy) did an excellent job filling in for the recovering Rossington, ably trading lead and slide guitar work with long-time members Rickey Medlocke and Mark Matejka. Early highlights of the concert included the rootsy blues rocker “Whiskey Rock-

A-Roller” bolstered by backing gospel vocals, a rousing “That Smell” featuring all three of the guitar greats in action, and an affecting acoustic medley of “Mississippi Kid” and “Red White & Blue.” The momentum built as the band performed their biggest hits, ending the night with the audience on their feet for bona fide greats like the powerful “Simple Man” (featuring some

of Van Zant’s greatest vocals of the night), along with the rollicking “Gimme Three Steps,” a cover of JJ Cale’s “Call Me the Breeze,” rocking “Sweet Home Alabama” and marathon 12-minute run through “Free Bird” from its pianoanchored sing-along early section through the mighty guitars-on-steroids finale.

High School Sign College Letters of Intent

By Brandy Flores NBC-PS On Monday, three student-athletes at La Quinta high school signed their college letters of intent. A huge congratulations to Emmi, MaryJane, and Sydney! Emmi Von Scherr is headed to West Point Academy, where she will run track and cross country. Emmi is most excited to serve her country, and after college, she hopes to rise the ranks in the united states army. “I’ve always been into like the military stuff. I wanted to go Army because it is the biggest branch. West Point is a one-of-a-kind college, and having the duty and honor to serve my country is amazing.” MaryJane Barton will attend Waldorf University in Iowa, where she will continue wrestling. In addition, MaryJane will

study psychology and wants to become a child psychologist after college. “I’m stoked. I’m excited. I always wanted to go to college out of state, and now that it’s actually happening, and I’ve signed papers, and I’m getting all the emails and everything. It’s super exciting.” Sydney Endres will attend Pacific University in Oregon, and she will continue wrestling as well. Sydney says she is excited to join her older cousin at Pacific University. “It definitely was a big deciding factor, like above athletics and academics and location. I think my cousin really sealed the deal for me. After college, I’m going to be pursuing a career as a medical examiner for forensics. I’m pretty excited to see what I do after college.” Longtime wrestling

coach and La Quinta high school administrator Samantha Hirsch say that girls wrestling is a growing sport in the United States and that it’s not too common for girls to earn college May 25, 2022

scholarships for wrestling. “I am super, super proud. Sydney, I have known her since she was a little girl, I’ve seen her grow, and she’s really, really grown into an incredible young lady as with

MaryJane. MaryJane has gone through many things in her four years here, and she’s just grown and developed into an amazing young lady.” Source: NBC Palm Springs www.desertstarweekly.com

How the U.S. Got Into This Baby Formula Mess by Desert Star Staff So, how did the U.S. get into this baby formula mess? There are several possible answers to that question. The industry in the United States is multi-billion-dollars. Only four companies control the majority of the market. Abbott Nutrition with almost 40% of the market, Mead Johnson Nutrition, Nestle USA Perrio company. These four companies own a small number of formula factories to maximize efficiency and keep costs down. Despite all of this, they still control 90 percent of the market in the U.S. The government is one of the biggest buyers of baby formula, buying about half

of the entire market. The manufacturers are then given a monopoly in two-thirds of the states. This situation has led to the current problem: formula manufacturers are only available in a small minority of supermarkets and have no competitors. As a result, these companies have a powerful advantage. In some states, supermarkets and pediatricians give this company preferential shelf space. This problem began in the 1970s after the government started buying most of the infant formula market. That means that it is now the largest buyer. The government is essentially WalMart for baby formula. The government’s procurement policies have resulted in a highly concentrated industry. The government’s procurement practices result in artificially elevated demand. Meanwhile, the government has also imposed a new law requiring formula manufacturers to give priority to the Pentagon to protect their national security. The House of Representatives has taken action to address the national baby formula shortage. One of the bills passed would allow the Agriculture secretary to waive restrictions imposed by the WIC program. That program limits which formulas are available for poorer women. The other bill would require manufacturers to prepare contingency plans in case of a formula shortage. The bill passed by

a bipartisan vote of 414 to nine. And in the meantime, a crisis could continue. The U.S. Senators have taken action by writing to the USDA and urging them to investigate the high levels of corporate concentration in the infant formula market. Among the senators who signed the letter are Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Tina Smith (MN), Elizabeth Warren (M.A.), and Richard Blumenthal (C.T.). Fortunately, the FDA relaxed its rules so that foreign supplies could be imported. Although importing foreign supplies is safer, it requires months to reach the shelves. In addition, the imported formula must be screened and shipped from one country to another.

A glimmer of hope! The Biden Administration announced today that the Department of Defense (DOD) has sourced a second flight to fulfill the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA)’s request for Operation Fly Formula to transport Nestlé S.A. formula from Ramstein Air Base in Germany to Washington Dulles International Airport. The formula will be transported to a Nestlé facility in Pennsylvania. DOD is contracting with FedEx Express to transport the shipment via its integrated air and ground network. The flight and trucking will take place in the coming days. More details on timing will be announced when available. The Operation Fly Formula

shipments will transport 114 pallets of Gerber Good Start® Extensive H.A. infant formula. This is the remainder of the equivalent of up to 1.5 million 8-ounce bottles of three formulas—Alfamino® Infant, Alfamino® Junior, and Gerber Good Start® Extensive H.A.— all of which are hypoallergenic formulas for children with cow’s milk protein allergy. The first tranche of this shipment announced on May 19, arrived in the United States via DOD aircraft on Sunday, May 22. These formulas have been prioritized because they serve a critical medical purpose and are in short supply in the United States because of the Abbott Sturgis plant closure.

HOROSCOPES ARIES

You’re everywhere all at once. The energies are dynamic, contemplative, fiery and watery, leading to excess activities tinged with the blues. Attempt to focus in your heart. This allows all new ideas, to filter through the question “Is this for the Goodwill of myself, humanity, the Earth?” Then you will know the best course of action through these unsettled and challenging times.

TAURUS You’re often found in serious study, sorting out details, feelings, instincts, and intuitions. You seek at all times the truth. You may not know why you feel a certain way, however you must still express to others whether the timing is right, if the path has been found. The past hasn’t caught up to the present/ future yet, and to move forward without right timing is unwise. Later, after events unfold, you understand your intuitions.

GEMINI Do not be discouraged. Use your heart and intuition to assess your wants, needs, and aspirations. Pleasure is often delayed until just the right time when all the parts and people come together. Be very aware of the upcoming full and new moon festivals. Love pours down during the festivals, and since you’re Ray 2 (Love/Wisdom), you’re in its direct pathway. Allow nothing to interrupt your meditations

MAY 25 – 31, 2022 ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST BY RISA D’ANGELES

concerning these festivals. They are your Path of Return.

CANCER Anything unresolved with those close to us (especially those who have died) reappears through dreams, feelings, thoughts, emotions and memories. Attempt to reconnect with love and grace and know that “Love underlies all happenings of all things at all times”. Earth is a planet where we release our sorrows and the grief strengthens us. Thoughts of reconciliation are impressed upon your mind.

LEO Often you feel the need to navigate the emotional tides washing in and out of your life. See yourself at the seashore, building a fire close to the water’s edge. Then contemplate the elements – earth, air, fire and water. When they join, a new reality, new direction and a new awareness of life emerge. The challenge will be maintaining an inner steady course when responsibilities become overwhelming. You’re being asked to sustain the many in the world through your leadership. You are the ship as well as the ship’s captain.

VIRGO Observe yourself these next weeks. You will be unusual yet practical and creative with money and finances, day-to-day events, plans, connections and agendas.

Even if you feel like you want to run away, you’ll focus on how to bring balance and harmony, caution and care into all situations. The weeks ahead are paradoxical with polarized realities everywhere. Stand in the middle where the light is. Light contains information. It provides you with sustenance.

LIBRA You continue to assess what you’re able to provide to others, especially those close to you. You also review your needs, an important assessment. Sometimes realizations can be difficult especially for Librans who want to have harmony above conflict, ease above constant change. You seek depth, meaning, closeness and freedom. Maintain an inner silence this week, listening to others, to your own heartbeat. A harmony arises.

SCORPIO Find ways to express your love of others, not necessarily through words but through shared exercise, play, walks, food, music, dance. Perhaps buying a new couch or bed. In all areas of expression include movement. It will sustain and stabilize any emotional upheavals you may feel. Physical discomfort may make you feel like escape is necessary. Yes, do escape in whatever way you can. Rest, ease and health these days are most important.

SAGITTARIUS Use your mind and body to focus on health. Think care and prevention. Add things that you really enjoy doing with others. All of this is important. Add a dash of confidence. Realize you plan intelligently and well, and when you’re truly mindful, your communication offers others strength and enthusiasm. Ponder these things during the time of Gemini’s festivals. This is a most subtle integrative time for you.

CAPRICORN As you tend to the usual domestic situations and apply the necessary discipline you also feel the need for freedom and change and perhaps travel. Be careful with family communication. You or others could become impatient and say things you later regret. You may work harder and longer than usual. Let the focus be balance, not work. Let all others around you know they are of value. Point out their values. Remain in the garden. Plant rose bushes. Save their seeds.

your life and comfort. Give and more will be asked of you. Both must occur. Think about your life and the goodness it provides. This focus on goodness is to guide your life.

PISCES What and how you communicate will affect many people. Tell the truth about your experiences. Let people know your needs, inner and outer. There is most likely a challenging situation in your life now. Move within it with grace and apply to it prayers and a loving will(ingness). Great good will come forth. Remember this when the path becomes difficult. The need for comfort is in the air. Psalm 23 brings one comfort. Also, read Jeremiah 29:11...plans for the future. Risa D’Angeles is the founder and director of the Esoteric & Astrological Studies Research Institute: Risa’s Esoteric Astrology. She can be reached at risagoodwill@gmail.com.

AQUARIUS Maintain strict limits and agendas so time and money are not wasted. Discipline allows creativity and intuition to emerge. With no discipline intuition has nothing to focus upon. Pray and call for what you need. Ask and it will be given. The angels hear all that you say and set about helping you gain what is essential to

The Drought Emergency Returned, Did Your HOA Notice? By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL California has experienced many drought periods, but in January 2014 the drought situation became sufficiently severe that then-Governor Brown declared a state of drought emergency. Soon thereafter, several laws added to the Davis-Stirling Act, Civil Code Sections 4735 and 4736. Civil Code Section 4735 does not allow governing documents to directly or indirectly prohibit low waterusing plants or artificial turf. During a time of declared drought emergency, under subpart “c” of that statute the HOA may not penalize homeowners for letting their yards “go brown.” Section 4736 bars HOAs from requiring pressure washing the exterior of homes during a declared drought emergency. The drought eased, and in April 2017 Governor Brown

DesertSTAR

terminated the declaration of drought emergency, also ending the application of Sections 4735(c) and 4736… at least for a while. However, Civil Code Section 4735(a) and (b) continued to be in force, as they were not temporary – homeowners have since 2015 had the right to install xeriscapes or artificial turf. That right is not unlimited – the HOA may still set reasonable standards of appearance and maintenance and may ban plants which could create a nuisance for neighbors. Artificial turf must be kept clean, must resemble grass (sorry, you can’t honor your local sports team’s colors with your artificial lawn), and must be maintained. On October 19, 2021, Governor Newsome declared a new state of drought emergency, consequently reviving Sections 4735(c) and 4736. Most HOAs may have missed this fact, given the Covid-19 health emergency

and other challenges. So, since October 19, 2021, HOA members, if they choose to cut back on watering their yards, may let the yard landscape die, and pressure-washing again cannot be compelled. Homeowners - If you suspend watering your yard in your HOA, be a responsible AND good neighbor - keep your yard clean and neat if it’s dry. This is a very good time for associations to re-evaluate their landscaping to determine if long-term savings can be had through cutting back on lawn areas, upgrading the sophistication of irrigation systems, and finding other ways of reducing water usage. Condominium associations sometimes are established without individual water meters, with the HOA paying the water bill. This can be a recipe for water waste, since individual residents may not be as concerned about a sink or toilet left running – they aren’t (directly) paying the bill. May 25, 2022

If the installation of separate water meters is possible and feasible, it may be a great long-term step to get each residence separately metered. If separate metering is not possible, perhaps submetering is available. If there is a single water intake pipe to a single residence, the flow of that water can be measured electronically with a sub-meter. There are companies which install, maintain, and monitor submeters, thereby allowing HOAs to bill their members for their water usage. This might require an amendment to the governing documents, to create the right of the HOA to bill members for their water usage. Submetering allows a water wasting

homeowner to be held financially accountable for their excessive usage of water. Nobody can guarantee how long the current drought crisis will last, but one thing is certain – it is here now, and California HOAs should step up their game and step down their water usage. Kelly G.

5 Road Ready Tips to Ride Motorcycles Safely and Comfortably A

FAMILY FEATURES

warm day on the open road is a dream opportunity for riders, whether it’s a longer trip or a quick jaunt through town. Regardless of the adventure, and no matter what you ride, a thrilling ride is a safe ride. Whether you’re new to the open road or a seasoned veteran, remember to follow best practices for safe riding like those outlined in the Responsible Rider program from BRP, makers of Can-Am 3-wheel vehicles. The program prioritizes being an attentive rider and always considering safety, the environment and riding etiquette from highways to city streets and everywhere in-between. As a rider, you are part of a global community and a steward of the open road. To keep your ride safe and comfortable, consider these additional tips:

Wear the Right Gear

While your fashion statement is largely a matter of personal preference, there are some safety items designed to protect your health and well-being that should be worn. Protective riding gear helps keep you safe while enjoying the open road. Full-hand gloves, riding boots that cover ankles, pants and jackets help protect against wind, sun, cold, heat and flying objects such as bugs or rocks. Drivers and passengers should also wear an approved helmet and eye protection to prevent injuries to the head, brain and eyes.

Choose a Proper Helmet

Every rider should wear a helmet, and the abundance of options available can make it tough to decide what’s best. Start by looking for a DOT Certification sticker, which means the helmet meets the strict safety standards of the Department of Transportation. n

Full Face: This style of helmet provides protection for the head and neck with a fixed chin that helps absorb impact. Simply slip it on and adjust the visor.

Open Face: Helmets like the Can-Am N21 are usually worn with goggles or a small integrated shield. This option provides ultimate freedom on the road.

Crossover: These helmets are easy to personalize based on ride intensity and weather conditions. Crossover helmets can be configured in numerous ways by transforming from full face to jet, which keep it breezy with a full field of view.

Maintain Your Hairdo

Keep hair out of your face. If you have longer hair, choose a hairstyle that’s high and away from your eyes like a low bun, simple braid or ponytail. Secure hair at the nape of your neck and, when possible, wear a neck gaiter around the back of your head and across your nose to keep loose hairs secured. Bonus tip: Keep a compact brush on your ride so you can brush your hair upon arrival at your destination.

Prepare Appropriately for Riding Conditions

Weather is unpredictable, and you should be ready for whatever Mother Nature throws your way. Regardless of the forecast, always make a plan for unforeseen conditions like wind and rain. An easy way to stay prepared is to keep a small packable jacket on your ride so you’re never left without an extra layer.

www.desertstarweekly.com

May 25, 2022

Cooler conditions call for warm yet lightweight gear such as a base layer with additional light layers over the top like a jacket or thin vest. Hotter days require vented clothing that allows airflow to keep you cool and dry.

Consider Your Passenger’s Safety

The most important rule for packing a passenger is ensuring your bike has a specific seat intended for a second rider. Be aware of how the added weight can affect the handling and behavior of the vehicle. Generally, riding with a passenger requires more gradual riding from acceleration and braking to steering. Instruct your passenger how you prefer him or her to ride with you to ensure the most enjoyment possible. Find more responsible riding tips at can-am.brp.com.

Festival of Maha Shivaratri: The Festival of Maha Shivratri is a Hindu festival every luni-solar month in late winter.

life. Shrestha lives and works in Hollywood, California, fulfilling his childhood dream of being an Actor/Filmmaker.

Court Case to Decide Fate of Long Valley in Rural Mono County By Suzanne Potter Conservation groups speak out in support of water rights in rural Mono County, saying thirsty Los Angeles is endangering wildlife, ranching and tourism. All parties are awaiting the judge’s decision after a recent hearing. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) argued it has the right to cut off water ranchers use to irrigate Long Valley and Little Round Valley for cattle grazing near the Crowley Lake Reservoir. Wendy Schneider, executive director of the nonprofit Friends of the Inyo, said the DWP bought up water

rights 100 years ago, but the Eastern Sierra is getting the short end of the stick. “We want people to have water to drink and cook with and bathe in,” Schneider acknowledged. “But when our ecosystem is being devastated, so that we can do landscaping for nonnative thirsty plants down south, that does not make sense.” The drought, exacerbated by climate change, has forced significant changes. Last week, the DWP ordered cuts on outdoor watering from three days a week to two. The Sierra Club and Mono County filed the lawsuit in 2018 when the cutbacks

were first announced. They argued the green meadow in Long Valley supports the sage grouse and fish populations, which boosts tourism. Schneider wants to see the DWP expand a program in Burbank to capture stormwater instead of letting it flow into the ocean.

“I think we can get to where the Eastern Sierra is still supplying some water to supplement,” Schneider pointed out. “But there will be much less reliance on it. We need more of our water up here, not less of it, and we need Los Angeles to help us.” Advocates would also like

to see a significant expansion of programs to recycle water in the Southland. Disclosure: Friends of the Inyo contributes to our fund for reporting on Endangered Species and Wildlife, Environment, Public Lands/ Wilderness, and Water.

Tips to Help You Reset From a Woman Who Lost 60 Pounds By Desert Star Staff Being indoors makes it easy to pack on unwanted pounds and fall into less than healthy patterns. However, the warm weather months are the perfect time to reset and take control of your health. Even though she wanted to make a change, Melissa Caveness needed to figure out the right path to achieve her goals. “I needed help, and I was motivated, but it wasn’t until Nutrisystem that I was successful,” says Caveness, who, on the program, lost 60 pounds and can now keep up with her active family. “I can now do all the fun activities and even outrun my kids…sometimes!” Using these three simple tips, you can be on your way to a happier, healthier you this season and beyond: Change Up Your Routine If you’ve fallen into bad habits, it’s time to shake things up. There’s no better time than right now to change your routine. Little changes can make a big difference,

whether it’s making time to eat breakfast or adding in a 15-minute walk at lunchtime. Moreover, committing to these changes for a month or season can increase the likelihood of turning into long-term, natural habits. “It takes work to live a healthy lifestyle. But if you get yourself in the right routine, it will become second nature,” says Courtney McCormick, MPH, RDN, LDN, manager, Clinical Research & Nutrition at Nutrisystem. Prioritize Sleep When you don’t get enough sleep, you are more likely to choose unhealthy foods and overeat. Sleeping for the recommended seven to eight hours a night improves your overall health and supports your weight loss goals. Cut out screen time one hour before heading to bed to get better sleep. The light from your phone or tablet suppresses your body’s production of melatonin, a hormone that controls your

body’s sleep cycles. So taking time away for just one hour before hitting the hay can make a big difference in your sleep quality. Use Portion Control Many of us tend to overeat or rely on large portions of comfort foods. To get just what you need with no wasted food, consider a program like Nutrisystem that brings you meals and snacks that are nourishing and filling in just the right portions. If you’re still craving some of those comfort foods on colder days, Nutrisystem has plenty of options like broccoli cheddar soup and Merlot Beef with Root Vegetables. You can also keep within your grocery budget by shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables in-season -- choices abound this time of year! After sharing her story, Caveness was named one of last year’s winners in the Nutrisystem Real $40K Giveaway. If you have a Nutrisystem weight loss success story, you can share

Melissa Caveness, before and after. your journey for a chance to win $40,000 by visiting nutrisystemcontest.com. And for more great tips and other inspiring stories, visit leaf.nutrisystem.com.

Take a cue from those who’ve met success by committing to intelligent strategies and healthy choices to reset this season. StatePoint

Mr. Selph’s home is the first occupied residence that the cleanup committee tackled. Residents who are interested in getting help with their yards must contact the city with

proof of ownership, property tax records, and live on-site. No trailer parks, renters or properties outside the city limits will be considered for this volunteer service. “There are no words to express my gratitude for all this help,” resident Joseph Selph said during the cleanup. “I could never have done this alone. Thank you so much.” Marion Champion, Programs and Public Affairs Manager for Mission Springs Water District provided the funding for and coordinated the installation of the new evaporative cooler.

New Technology is Making Epidurals More Effective By Desert Star Staff Epidurals are used as a pain relief method by millions of American women during childbirth each year. While safe and effective in most cases -- each year, 2.4 million births involve epidural analgesia procedures out of 4 million annual births -- unintentional dural puncture affects 5%, causing complications for new mothers. In addition, among those patients, 60– 80% experience postpartum headaches, which can become severe, chronic, and disabling, in some cases lasting months to years. However, medical advancements promise to offer a safer, more comfortable, and practical experience during labor and delivery. How safe are epidurals? In a recent survey of nationwide board-certified anesthesiologists, 58% expressed concerns about dural punctures while performing epidural procedures for labor and delivery, and 82% agreed that hospital-mandated time pressures on anesthesiologists

create unnecessary risk. Having tools to perform epidural procedures more accurately and efficiently is proving to be a game-changer. An innovative computercontrolled injection device, CompuFlo Epidural System from Milestone Scientific Inc., is being used by many anesthesiologists. Offering objective real-time data four times a second, the device helps clinicians successfully perform epidural procedures with fewer attempts, reduces the risk of dural punctures, and ultimately improves patient outcomes at a reduced cost. “The current standard of epidural care dates from the 1900s. With the technology we have today, patients preparing for labor should have better health outcomes,” says Arjan Haverhals, CEO and president of Milestone Scientific. “Giving birth is a pivotal moment in a woman’s life, and access to safe pain relief during that process is crucial.

Here’s a little history on a few annual summer occasions and ideas for amping up the festivities. Host a Memorial Day Celebration of Life. While Memorial Day weekend is often the unofficial start to summer filled with camping trips, beach parties and barbecues, it’s important to remember that we commemorate this day to honor the legacy of those who have served and lost their lives in the U.S. Military. You can embrace the bond with your family by having a traditional backyard party or picnic to remember those close to you who have served. Honor them by doing their favorite foods, playing their favorite games, or even writing your favorite memories down on a piece of paper and sharing them with the group. Honor Juneteenth by Showing Your Appreciation for Black Culture. Juneteenth takes place on June 19 and commemorates the emancipation of thousands of enslaved people who were not aware of their freedom until 1865. On this date, Union General Gordon Granger landed in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended and that the enslaved were now free. And in 2021, Juneteenth was officially recognized as a federal holiday in the United States.

Many honor Juneteenth with educational and family gatherings by supporting Black-owned businesses and visiting museums and exhibits dedicated to Black culture. You can also send a personalized message of love and inspiration. And& who better to deliver your message than Grammy Awardwinning artist Alicia Keys?

Whether it’s a fishing trip, creating your own backyard mini-golf course, or going on a brewery tour searching for the best local IPA, it’s sure to be a Father’s Day he’ll remember.
