‘Lost Everything’

4-alarm fire at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf

Fishermen meet with San Francisco port officials to discuss loss, industry impact from Pier 45 fire.

By Desert Star Staff SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Fishermen met with San Francisco port officials Monday morning to discuss equipment lost in Saturday morning’s fire at Pier 45.

Larry “Duck” Collins, President of San Francisco Community Fishing

Association, said it would be a couple of days before fishermen can return. He said the main focus needs to be on how to help families that are experiencing a significant loss.

“I’d say 30 different fishermen lost everything,” Collins said.

Right now, fishermen

are in the middle of salmon season, and crab season is four months away.

“You know crab pots are $250 just for the stuff and five hours of work to put together.

So if you had 400 crab traps, you can imagine what these guys lost,” Collins said.

Rapid COVID-19 Antibody Testing Sites Open Across Coachella Valley

By Desert Star Staff PALM SPRINGS – The first of 10,000 rapid COVID-19 antibody tests funded by the Desert Healthcare District and Foundation are being put to use at 10 sites that opened recently across the Coachella Valley. The tests are free and available to all.

The antibody test requires a small blood sample and produces results in about 10 minutes. The test checks for a type of antibody called immunoglobulin G (IgG) that is the result of past exposure to COVID-19, also known as the novel coronavirus. The human

body produces IgG antibodies as part of the immune response to the virus. It usually takes about 10 to 18 days to produce enough antibodies to be detected in the blood.

Experts believe that people who have recovered from the virus have some protection in the short term, but the long-term reinfection risk is still unknown.

“This is a very important tool for helping us better establish the real rate of infection in the community and determine who might be able to return to work safely when the economy reopens,”

said Dr. Conrado Bárzaga, CEO of Desert Healthcare District. “From a public health perspective, the findings will also help the District develop plans for dealing with COVID-19 over the coming months, particularly as it relates to the 80,000 people in the valley who don’t have medical insurance.”

The District’s Board of Directors approved allocating $350,000 for the rapid antibody tests at a special meeting on April 3.

Collins says what comes through Pier 45 affects the entire Bay Area.

“The amount of food that

comes over that port, that gets distributed locally gets everybody their fresh salmon, fresh crab, the black cod, albacore. This is a tragedy, and everybody has got to step up. And we got to take care of this problem,” Collins said.

Behind the Scenes at NBC Sports’ Beverly Hills Dog Show

Judging at the Beverly Hills Dog Show

Introducing the legendary Black Russian Terrier

By Pamela Price The Beverly Hills Dog Show presented by Purina and staged at Fairplex in

Pomona, Calif. revealed a world of canine competition on Feb. 29 as show dogs did what they do best, compete

with other dogs in their specified category. They are well-rehearsed in impressing judges with every step they take, literally. The winners represented seven groups, Working, Sporting, Hound, Non-Sporting, Terrier, Toy, and Herding Group. NBC Sports devoted a two-hour broadcast to the event on

May 17 with their televised coverage, which was hosted by John O’Hurley and American Kennel Clublicensed judge David Frei.

“We spotlight not only our four-legged friends but a lot of two-legged stars as well,” Frei said. The Best in Show was Nick, an impressive Siberian Husky, beating

out hundreds of dogs.

This annual star-studded American Kennel Club sanctioned dog show enables dog lovers to get a close-up look at their favorite breeds, such as, in the toy category, Malteses. Coincidently the cover of the February 2020 Showsight, the Dog Show Magazine (www. showsightmagazine.com) featured Timebomb Puff, the number one Maltese in 2019, in his first year of showing.

Speaking of Maltese, news of NBC Sports Beverly Hills Dog Show reached Athens, Greece, with an American journalist, Anthony Grant, co-owner of two Malteses in the extended “audience.”

“What makes this dog show different is its glamorous edge, such as the celebrity interviews with entertainment reporter Maria Menounos, coincidently from a Greek background,” Grant noted.

The winner in the Toy category this year, incidentally, was not a Maltese but a close relative, a Havanese.

While Maria Menounos was on the Red Carpet interviewing Bo Derek during the show, she revealed that two of her three dogs are rescues. “The third is a German Shepherd,” she said, adding with a smile, “dogs are a gift from heaven.”

Haitian film producer turns to Indiegogo to fuel groundbreaking film project

film “Invisible” is turning to the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo to raise the funds needed to advance his project despite the setback.

“Invisible” is a psychological thriller to be filmed in Havana, Cuba

by Haitian creator Kharl Louis-Jean.

The feature-length film tells the story of a man suffering from dissociative disorder while searching for the killer of his daughter.

often after a traumatic event.

Despite production delays due to the coronavirus pandemic, Louis-Jean refuses to let the roadblocks slow him down. He is eager to bring his suspenseful film to the world while showcasing the work of Haitian artists, with the aim of becoming the first Haitian artist to reveal to the world the cinematic potential that lives in his home country.

“I’ve fought a lot since coming to the United States nine years ago to accomplish my goals of succeeding at my dreams,” Louis-Jean said on the Indiegogo campaign page. “Right now because of the pandemic people are in danger of losing their dreams, some are already lost. But I refuse to let that happen.”

Pending funding of the film through the Indiegogo

campaign, production is slated to begin immediately, with a goal to shoot the film in November. Louis-Jean hopes to release the film in the summer of 2021.

“We refuse to let Covid-19 take our dreams away,” Louis-Jean said. “With your support, we will be able to complete this project and bring an amazing film experience to the world.”

Supporters who back the “Invisible” Indiegogo campaign can choose from rewards ranging from tickets to fan screenings to an exclusive opportunity to dine with the stars of the film.

How the Fed acts now will determine Recession Outcomes

By Janice Gough Reopening the economy is about helping our businesses rebuild their workforce and helping them remake their workplaces so that it is safe for both workers and customers alike. It will require communities to come together to keep their home base sound.

Whatever skills or wealth that we can spend individually to help these local businesses, and show our allegiance to them, will be a defining factor in bringing back a healthy economy. I believe that the spirit of each community and the love of “the way we were,”

will do more to bring us back than “Fake” economics.

More stimulus money will only keep us in recession longer. The recent proposed $30 Trillion proposed by the DEMs, was not passed, but I believe it would hurt us more in the long term.

A Fed expert predicts that Higher taxes are an actual reality. They are coming, and they are coming fast…. And in many forms.

The U.S. government looks for a way to pay off the money it’s spending now by its stimulus efforts. Now that the money coming into the Fed from taxpayers will be much lower, taxes will have to increase, so be prepared. The Federal Reserve is stuck in the middle. Our Fed Chairman, Jerome Powell, wants to print more (FAKE) money (quantitative easing). This is in violation of the Federal Reserve Act. He will just print us into more debt. His plan to help heal the economy is to put cash into the hands of the lowest third of income earners. This may seem to be a way to help the poor, but it is undoubtedly a way for the poor to stay poor!

His strategy is one in which he would be selling junk bonds to Wall Street to support the debt.

This will keep Wall Street happy.

But who is he really making happy?? This would only serve the needs of the wealthiest.

While he wants to print money to give to the lowest income earners in the economy. He cannot print jobs in the middle, and that is the problem. He cannot print cash flow, which is needed to help businesses stay solvent, and he cannot print these small businesses back into business, in which the PaychekProtectionPlan failed.

The private equity firms that lobbied for adding another stimulus program were trying to make sure that the companies that pay them dividends didn’t have to go out of business.

Powell thinks that he’s keeping those employees employed, but what he’s really doing is bailing out the big private equity guys, so that they can continue to pay themselves one-time dividends while loading these companies up with debt.

This will only make these companies more vulnerable because when this situation deteriorates much further, there

is the “White Collar” wave of layoffs. Remember the phrase “Trickle Down Economics.” It was explained to me during the year 2000 crash, that as the wealthy begin losing, you will see valuations of real estate and the auto industry and the luxury market collapse. The “Trickle Down” will impact all businesses.

One result of these massive job losses will be a “cultural shift,” in which excess is going to be frowned upon going forward because there are going to be so many people in need.

Are Our Reserves Being Handled Properly?

Dear Mr. Richardson: Our HOA has a reserve line item for repair and replacement of the exterior surfaces of our condominiums. The original exterior has been replaced on approximately 50% of the units, but the reserves have been collected to pay for all of the units. Must all the units with the original exterior surfaces be updated since the useful life of this component has ended and the reserves have been collected for this component?

eye could be misled.

The Business Judgment Rule requires, among other things, that the board of directors obtain the appropriate expert advice for each decision. A construction expert should be consulted prior to making major construction expenditures, to make sure the HOA is not repairing too much or too little.

If the appropriate expert says that, despite the reserve study predictions, a building component does not yet need replacement, the board may rely on that advice to defer replacement.

Thanks, Kelly

HOROSCOPES ARIES

The month ahead sees you as a hard worker, working towards and within your values. If you don’t actually know your values, then observe yourself – actions, focus, communication. Note you’re slower than usual, caring for what you love (and value) with extra care.

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

States with the Biggest Increases in Unemployment Rates

By Desert Star Staff With the unemployment rate now at 14.7% due in large part to the coronavirus, WalletHub today released its report on the States with the Biggest Increases in Unemployment Rates, along with accompanying videos, to illustrate which areas of the country have been most and least impacted by COVID-19’s assault on jobs. This report examines unemployment rates on a monthly basis, complementing the weekly analysis in WalletHub’s report on the States Hit Most by Unemployment Claims.

In order to identify the states with the biggest increases in unemployment rates, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia based on three key metrics. We looked at the change in each state’s unemployment rate during the latest month for which we have data (April 2020) compared to April 2019 and January 2020.

DesertSTAR

We also considered each state’s overall unemployment rate. Below, you can see highlights from the report, along with a WalletHub Q&A. Unemployment Increase in California (1=Highest, 25=Avg.): 307.37% Increase in Unemployment (April 2020 vs April 2019) 2,989,198 unemployed people in April 2020 vs 733,781 in April 2019; 24th highest increase in the U.S. 255.86% Increase in Unemployment (April 2020 vs January 2020) 2,989,198 unemployed people in April 2020 vs 839,986 in January 2020; 18th highest increase in the U.S. 16.1% Unemployment Rate (April 2020) 10th highest unemployment rate in the U.S.

WalletHub Q&A Will the coronavirus pandemic be as bad for jobs as the Great Depression?

“The coronavirus pandemic will not be as bad for jobs as the Great Depression was because the job losses now appear to be more temporary. Most workers who were laid off expect to eventually be rehired, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an increase of 16.2 million ‘temporary’ job losses in April compared to 544,000 ‘permanent’ losses.

Although the unemployment rate is currently at the highest level since the Great Depression, we don’t expect it to surpass that historic mark,” said Jill Gonzalez, WalletHub analyst. “The U.S. will eventually reopen fully, and we are already starting to see some progress in vaccine research. A full reopening combined with a vaccine will provide the economic and public health boost we May 27, 2020

need to get back on track.”

What can states do to support people who are unemployed, other than provide traditional benefits?

“Aside from financial assistance, the best way for states to support unemployed residents is to facilitate a safe reopening that allows businesses to start rehiring.

States should prioritize reopening places that help unemployed people get back to work, such as libraries with free Wi-Fi where they can conduct job searches and childcare programs that allow parents to go to work,” said Jill Gonzalez, WalletHub analyst. “Safety should be the number one concern in any state’s reopening process, so a big part of getting people back to work is requiring face masks in public and other restrictive measures to prevent a resurgence of COVID-19.”

Which state has experienced the biggest increase in unemployment vs.

the beginning of the year?

“Hawaii has experienced the biggest increase in unemployment because the number of unemployed persons jumped by 666% from January 2020 to April, compared to the average increase of 248%,” said Jill Gonzalez, WalletHub analyst. “Hawaii’s overall unemployment rate is 23.5%, compared to the average of 14.7%.”

Which state has experienced the smallest increase in unemployment vs. the beginning of the year?

“Connecticut has experienced the smallest increase in unemployment because it has seen a 65% rise in the number of unemployed persons from January 2020 to April, compared to the average increase of 248%,” said Jill Gonzalez, WalletHub analyst. “Connecticut’s overall unemployment rate is 8.0%, compared to the average of 14.7%.” www.desertstarweekly.com

Straight No Chaser Announce 2021 Tour Dates

By Desert Star Staff RIAA-certified gold a cappella group Straight No Chaser today announced a run of dates slated for 2021, originally scheduled for this summer but postponed due to the pandemic.

The group announced today newly rescheduled dates starting with an April 3, 2021 appearance at Allentown, PA’s Miller Symphony Hall, followed by a summer run beginning with two shows at Aurora, IL’s Paramount Theatre on June 12, 2021, and continuing through August 5, 2021, at Englewood, NJ’s Bergen County Performing Arts Center. Full dates are listed below, and additional dates will be announced soon.

Without live shows to offer their fans for the spring and summer of 2020, the group, who live all over the U.S., created a series of “Quarantine Sessions,” wherein all nine members perform their favorite songs

virtually. A new video is released every week via the group’s YouTube channel.

Besides, the group handselected four exceptional live shows from their touring history and broadcast them live on the channel, encouraging fans (dubbed “Chasers”) to donate to a chosen non-profit paired to each show in place of buying tickets. To date, the group has raised nearly $20,000 cumulatively for these organizations, including Meals on Wheels, Feeding America, the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund, and the Gary Sinise Foundation, which benefits first responders and their families.

After capturing the attention of millions across the country, Straight No Chaser’s version of “The 12 Days of Christmas” – interpolating Toto’s “Africa” – caught the attention of Atlantic Records Chairman & CEO Craig Kallman, who promptly signed the Indiana-based a

By Desert Star Staff At least three possible COVID-19 vaccines, including from Cambridge biotech firm Moderna, have seen promising results in Phase One trials.

And some experts think infecting volunteers with the virus that causes COVID-19 may be worthwhile to speed vaccine development.

They believe so-called “human challenge trials” on a small number of young, healthy participants could partially replace a later phase of vaccine trials.

Dr. Zeb Jamrozik is a bioethicist at Monash University in Australia and member of the World Health Organization’s working group on human challenge studies in COVID-19. He thinks if no current vaccine candidate passes a Phase Three trial in the next six to 12 months, this approach could be considered.

“If we don’t have one that’s been shown to be efficacious, then I think it’s extremely likely that challenge studies are going to be on the table,” says Jamrozik. “And that they might even be the best way to test the remaining candidates as efficiently as possible.”

But human challenge trials are controversial - infecting participants in this case with the new coronavirus, which has limited treatments and can be fatal. Still, 35 members of Congress - including Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton (D - Salem) and Rep. Stephen Lynch (D - Boston) support the idea for COVID-19.

A new nonprofit known as “1 Day Sooner” has quickly signed up close to 25,000

people willing to participate in human challenge trials for a COVID-19 vaccine. The group’s founder, attorney Josh Morrison, says many might think of him and other volunteers as selfless - but he disagrees.

“It makes my life quite a bit better to be doing this than what I was doing before, of just like sitting in my apartment in Brooklyn, not having a lot of work to do,” says Morrison.

“Feeling just miserable and scared, especially for my parents’ health. Trying to be part of the solution, that’s made my life a lot better.”

Morrison explains that, for young, healthy volunteers, the risk is comparable to donating a kidney - something he did close to a decade ago. He thinks if it shaves months off the COVID-19 vaccine trials, the risk would be worth it.

Beyond the ethical considerations and regulatory approvals, cost is another big barrier. Jamrozik says this type of research can only be conducted at a small number of bio-secure facilities, and volunteers need to be isolated and under observation for months.

“There’s significant set-up costs that are larger than a Phase Three field trial, in the sense that you need to build a strain,” says Jamrozik.

In other words, they must also create a dose of the coronavirus to infect the volunteers with, which isn’t cheap. However, if it ends up helping shorten the time to market, Jamrozik says it could save time and money.

cappella group. They went on to release two chart-topping holiday albums, Holiday Spirits, and Christmas Cheers, both of which are now certified gold by the RIAA. The extraordinary decade that followed has seen the group amass album sales over 1.6

million in the U.S. alone and more than 1 million in ticket sales, along with more than 100 million YouTube views thus far. Now with the launch of SNC Records through Warner Music Group’s Arts Music, Straight No Chaser will continue to focus on

holiday music as well as developing artists who boast unique vocal stylings, giving others the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that came to them more than a decade ago.

Geffen Playhouse’s “The Present” is Gift for Theatergoers

By Lisa Lyons, American Theatre Critics Association member One of the most successful series of performances at the Geffen Playhouse have been the one man shows by Helmer Guimarães; the most recent was last summer’s hit “Invisible Tango” directed by Frank Marshall. Guimarães’s mix of mind-boggling magic combined with autobiographical memoir, has proved to be box office magic for the Geffen.

When COVID-19 put an end to live theatre as we know it, theaters were scrambling to reinvent themselves. The Geffen Playhouse (now known as the Geffen Stayhouse) was one of the first legit houses in Los Angeles that expanded their vision beyond the parameters of the physical building to create a vehicle by which starved theatergoers can get their fill of live performance. Using the Zoom platform, the Geffen has created THE PRESENT, an interactive show that not only invites the audience to view, but also to participate in real time, with magical results.

Guimarães is a gifted illusionist and master storyteller, as well as trained actor and writer; this collaboration with Frank Marshall has shown once again what can be accomplished when two great creators join forces for good.

Rather than ignoring the fact that we are in a global pandemic, Guimarães hearkens back to a time in his own childhood where he endured three months of quarantine following a serious hit and run accident where he sustained cranial trauma. His parents keep him from school and, as they both work, have his grandfather come and keep an eye on him all day. The reserved grandfather and the recovering grandson forge a hard-won friendship over a deck of cards. The young Guimarães both teaches and learns about the power of magic and also discovers, albeit some years later, that his grandfather is a man of great depth and wisdom. The lessons they both experience change both of their lives profoundly.

THE PRESENT takes place virtually via the Zoom platform with a maximum of 25 participants per show.

Each participant is mailed a sealed mystery package in advance, the contents of which are only revealed during the course of each performance as Guimarães’ story unfolds.

In a unique twist, the show provides both a virtual and physical experience for the audience, as magic also takes place in their own hands, in their own home environment.

The most intriguing item in the mystery box is a deck of cards; it’s not a special deck, just your standard playing cards, but it allows the participants to actively do their own card magic at home and

believe me, it’s a stunner.

I have always believed in magic; I don’t want to know how it’s done, I just thrill over the “wow” moment that occurs at a trick’s conclusion and enjoy the feeling of being a child all over again.

Kudos to the always excellent production team at the Geffen, including production design consultant FrancoisPierre Couture, costume design consultant E.B. Brooks, lighting design consultant Daniel Ionazzi and dramaturg Amy Levinson.

The show has proven to be a solid hit for the Geffen; there was a first extension, then a second, both which sold out within 30 minutes of being released. Currently, the show is playing through August 16, but may be extended again. Visit https://www.geffenplayhouse. org/tickets/the-presentnotification/ to be notified when/ if additional shows are added.

Tickets are currently priced at $85.00 per household.

The title THE PRESENT has multiple meanings: it deals with the here and now, as well as the infinite joy of

May 27, 2020

discovering something that is unexpected and to be treasured. The same can be said of the talents of Guimarães and Marshall (who has a gentle, gifted hand with his star

performer) and I eagerly await further collaborations between these two kindred spirits. If you get a chance to attend, you won’t be disappointed.

MUSIC

BY ROBERT KINSLER

Fistful Of Essential Music Releases

Whether you are sheltering in place or getting back out to work or play, there are some truly fantastic new releases worth discovering including the debut from The Lickerish Quartet, as well as the latest albums from Steve Earle & The Dukes, The Claudettes, and Sara Evans. There is also an essential new Waylon Jennings release out via DVD and digital.

Artist: The Lickerish Quartet Title: Threesome Vol. 1 (The Lickerish Quartet/ Label Logic) You might like if you enjoy: Jellyfish, Jason Falkner, Imperial Drag, dada Tell me more: While groundbreaking ‘90s psychedelic pop outfit Jellyfish appears unlikely to ever reform, the next-best-thing is the new musical project christened the Lickerish Quartet featuring Roger Joseph Manning Jr., Tim Smith and Eric Dover — all of whom were members of Jellyfish. The band’s debut release “Threesome Vol. 1” fully delivers on the anticipation that has surrounded the Lickerish Quartet from the earliest moments when the trio’s formation was announced in early March 2020. “Bluebird’s Blues” recalls the magic of Jellyfish to be sure, an original track as intoxicating and melodic as it is inventive — shimmering harmonies and stunning pop craft as bright as the sun. The bouncy and buoyant “Fadoodle” is pure fun, a power pop shot that celebrates rekindling romantic lust with unabashed joy.

“There is a Magic Number” is a relatively quiet affair; but listen closely to the lovely luster constructed via nuanced layers of vocal harmonies and involving instrumental flourishes that embolden the cut. The ace offering on the EP is the ambitious “Lighthouse Spaceship,” a 6½ minute dose of greatness borne out of the friendly ghosts of XTC, Queen, Electric Light Orchestra and “Pet Sounds”-era Beach Boys.

The digital version of the album is available now, while the audio CD format is set for release on June 26, 2020. Information: TheLickerishQuartet.com.

Artist: Steve Earle & The Dukes Title: Ghosts of West www.desertstarweekly.com

Virginia (New West) You might like if you enjoy: Phil Ochs, Johnny Cash, John Mellencamp Tell me more: Ambitious, forceful and resplendent in ways that will excite discerning listeners of all stripes, Steve Earle & The Dukes’ new LP “Ghosts of West Virginia” is an important and compelling tour de force. The album features six songs from the play “Coal Country” (a collaboration that Earle worked on with playwrights Jessical Blank and Erik Jensen) as well as four additional tracks. Opening on March 3, 2020 at The Public Theater in New York City, “Coal Country” was postponed after only two weeks due to COVID-19 outbreak.But it will take more than a global pandemic to diminish the power of “Ghosts of West Virginia.”

The a capella opener “Heaven Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere,” old-time sing-along “Union, God and Country” that addresses the multi-generational role that mining plays in coal country, and Appalachia-drenched “Devil Put the Coal into the Ground” transport the listener into a world that few outsiders know or appreciate. The Springsteen-styled “John Henry was a Steel Drivin’ Man” and probing “Time Is Never On Our Side” delve further into the realities that have reduced the value of human life in coal mines. The rage from the lives lost consumes “It’s About Blood,” a searing rocker that finds Earle sounding off the names of every victim who died in the Upper Big Branch mine explosion in 2010 as the Dukes play powerfully in accompaniment. The gorgeous country ballad “If I Could See Your Face Again” (sung by actress Mary Bacon) imagines a miner’s widow lamenting she won’t see her husband again: “If I could touch you one more time / Just to Hold your Head in Mine / I’d never let you go again / I promise” — a particularly melancholic and mournful track.

Other songs like the potent mandolin-adorned “Black Lung,” Southern rocker “Fastest Man Alive” and sparse “The Mine” bring further power and poetic grace to the purposeful “Ghosts of West Virginia.”

Artist: The Claudettes

Title: High Times in the Dark (Forty Below Records) You might like if you enjoy: Alabama Shakes, Southern Avenue Tell me more: The Claudettes’ sound is at once magically familiar and decidedly new, with the quartet’s sound somehow weaving roots rock, New Orleans rhythm and blues, and Memphis rock ‘n’ soul together with a post-punk attitude blended together into a sonic brew the band has rightfully dubbed “garage cabaret.” On the troupe’s brilliant new album “High Times in the Dark,” Johnny Iguana’s astounding piano playing and singer Berit Ulseth’s marvelous voice vy for attention in all the right ways, while there is still room to showcase the top-tier work of Michael Caskey (drums) and Zach Verdoorn (bass, guitar).

The rip roaring “24/5,” lush “I Swear to God, I Will,” edgy rocker “Declined” and moody “I Don’t Do That Stuff Anymore” showcase the wide-ranging approach of the talented outfit. The songs are powerful, with sweeping arrangements equaled by the involving lyrics exploring the vast reaches of the modern world. The lavish “You Drummers Keep Breaking My Heart” addresses the challenges of keeping the seat behind the kit filled, while the album-closing track “The Sun Will Fool You” is a sobering account of an unfeeling lover who has everyone fooled — this selection that finds Ulseth’s soprano at its most vulnerable while Iguana offers lone accompaniment with plaintive playing on his keyboard.

Information: theclaudettes.com.

and Chicago’s “Hard To Say I’m Sorry” feel mostly faithful while the reworked takes on the Pretenders’ “Don’t Get Me Wrong” and Carole King’s “It’s Too Late” are much more interesting. Other surefire choices include Evans’ lavish version of John Mayer’s “All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye,” a lush reading of the Wallflowers’ “6th Avenue Heartache” and a rousing modern take on The Knack’s “My Sharona.” Evans also has a couple of interesting collaborations, including the spirited “Whenever I Call You ‘Friend’ “ with Little Big Town’s Phillip Sweet and yearning “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” with Old Crow Medicine Show.

Information: SaraEvans.com.

Artist: Waylon Jennings Title: The Outlaw Performance (Eagle Rock Entertainment) You might like if you enjoy: Waylon Jennings, Shooter Jennings, Johnny Cash Tell me more: Fans of the late outlaw country legend Waylon Jennings are in luck.

The newly-released “The Outlaw Performance” (available on DVD or via digital) features a

special 1978 concert featuring Jennings playing in front of a sold-out crowd in Nashville, TN. The presentation features Jennings and his band in concert, with the concert footage combined with Jennings’ own words adding depth to the performance.

Highlights find him recalling his connection with country music and music friends in his life; he talks about key songs, why he learned how to play lead guitar, and his admiration and connection with Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly and George Jones. After kicking things off with the uptempo opener “Are You Ready for the Country?” (written by Neil Young), Jennings delivers one great track after another including the rowdy “Lonesome, On’ry and Mean” (enhanced by his sharp lead guitar work), a cover of Robert Lee McDill’s tender ballad “Amanda,” Merle Haggard’s “Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down” the confessional “You Asked Me To” and the audience favorite “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys.” He closes out the set with his 1973 classic “Honky Tonk Heroes” and his 1975 number one hit “Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way.” Bonus features on the release include “Friends Remember The Outlaw” with archival interviews with George Jones, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Jennings’ longtime drummer Richie Albright.

The full concert without the narration is also included.

Information: eagle-rock.com.

Artist: Sara Evans Title: Copy That (Born To Fly Records) You might like if you enjoy: Sara Evans, Old Crow Medicine Show, Little Big Town Tell me more: Country singer Sara Evans uses her signature vocals in the service of revisiting more than a dozen classic hits on her aptlynamed “Copy That.” Revisiting iconic selections forged over the past six decades and representing several genres, the exuberant Celtic pop romp “Come On Eileen” (a 1982 hit for Dexy’s Midnight Runners) May 27, 2020

WITH LADY BEVERLY COHN

“The Fundamentals of Caring” An Uplifting Film Streaming on Netflix

Dot (Selena Gomes) Kisses Trevor (Craig Roberts) Goodbye The storyline in “The Fundamentals of Caring” is not original. Written and directed by Rob Burnett, it is based on the novel “The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving” by Jonathan Evison. We saw the similar treatment of the subject of a severely handicapped person, whose caretaker changes his life, as well as his own, in “The Intouchables,” a French film dealing with that theme, as did the subsequent “The Upside,” the American version of that film. One might ask why this theme was repeated successfully in three different films? The reason is a similarity in the humanity of the characters. Based on actual events, we witness the angst of two distraught people, each of whom experiences renewal and redemption through each other.

In “The Fundamentals of Caring,” released by Netflix in 2016, Ben, stirringly played by Paul Rudd, is a lost man. He is a father who is no longer a father, a writer who no longer writes, with a wife who no longer wishes to be his wife.

Faced with his tattered life, Ben decides to train as a caregiver and, after completing a sixweek session, applies for his first job as caretaker to Trevor, a severely handicapped young man with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, brilliantly played

by Craig Roberts. His nononsense English mom Elsa, skillfully played by Jennifer Ehle, is both a registered caregiver and manager of a local bank. On interviewing Ben, she is uncertain as to whether or not she should hire him because her 18-yearold would be his first case.

Confined to a wheelchair, potty mouth Trevor is angry, frustrated sexually, and tries to intimidate the applicant by rattling off unpleasant requirements of the job. Ben stays centered even when Trevor taunts him, “You’ll have to wipe the shit from my ass,” replying, “I’ll do whatever is necessary.” Satisfied, he tells his mom to hire him. In the beginning, the relationship is not easy. Trevor is angry most of the time, barking orders, and sticks to a rigid daily schedule.

He occasionally feigns choking, which scares the hell out of Ben, who later does a oneupmanship. Realizing that his ward is living a life of not-so-quiet desperation, he proposes a road trip. At first, Trevor’s mom says no because of the number of meds he’s on as well as his sleep apnea machine. However, with assurances from Ben that he will take excellent care of him, she relents, and off they go in the handicap van to visit The World’s Deepest Pit. Trevor remains rigid, and

the verbal fencing between them continues. He remains unwilling to try any new foods and definitely turns down a Slim Jim (beef jerky.)

Ben tries to get him to eat French toast instead of his daily waffles, but to no avail.

That is about to change as while stopping at a diner, they spot a sexy young girl named Dot, perfectly played by Selena Gomez, a run-away who is trying to hitch a ride. Trevor is clearly attracted to her, and Ben tells him to offer her a lift, which he chickens out of doing. Back in the car, a short time later, they reencounter her, and this time she climbs into the car with them. She’s rather sardonic, smokes, and matches Trevor’s potty mouth with a preponderance of “F-bombs.” Behind the mutual rough exteriors, the seeds of young love are sprouting.

Next, up is a pregnant young woman named Peaches, beautifully characterized by Megan Ferguson, who is standing next to her stalled car. She is on the way to her mother’s home to have the baby, and she shares that her husband is on his second tour in the military. Ben invites her to join them, and now the four of them are off to their destination. On the way, Trevor shares that his father left when he was three-yearsold when he found out about

May 27, 2020

his disorder and that the only communication has been letters that he never opened.

They all encourage a visit to the car dealership where his dad Bob (Frederick Weller) works.

It is not a successful encounter as the dad says that he never wrote those letters and that Trevor’s mom did. He offers money, which disgusts his son, who turns his wheelchair around and leaves angrily, demanding to go home.

However, the girls persuade him that they have to see the big hole, and off they go.

One evening, in a motel, Trevor works up the nerve to ask Dot to have dinner with him. It’s a charming scene of two teenagers having dinner and chatting away. In another scene, Ben and Trevor arrive at the site of the biggest bovine in the world. Unfortunately, the beast is upstairs, and there is no elevator. Ben becomes indignant and accuses the owner of violating the Americans With Disabilities Act and that he

was going to report him. The owner figures out a solution, which involved carrying the wheelchair up a narrow flight of stairs, and thus Trevor saw this gargantuan cow.

Things are going smoothly when Peaches suddenly goes into labor with the outcome successfully in Ben’s hands.

The new mom and her baby are whisked off by ambulance to the nearest hospital, and Dot reunites with her father, played by Bobby Cannavale, who had been following Ben’s van throughout the trip, with him thinking it was a process server hired by his wife.

In an earlier conversation, Ben asked his charge what he wants to do more than anything. His answer was, “I’d like to pee standing up.” The resolution of that dream is one that will have you cheering.

And, in my opinion, is why we have seen a variation on this theme several times. We all need something to cheer about, don’t you think?

FAMILY FEATURES

f spending more time at home than usual has you reaching for snacks more often, keep some quick, flavorful options on-hand to help fuel you and your family throughout the day when hunger pangs strike.

One versatile pantry staple that can fit a variety of snack cravings: popcorn. With no artificial additives or preservatives, light and airy popcorn is naturally low in fat and calories, non-GMO and gluten free, making it a sensible option to enjoy one handful at a time or sprinkled with seasonings that satisfy your taste buds. A whole-grain food, popcorn has energy-producing carbohydrates and fiber, which can help keep you satisfied longer. Plus, it's simple enough to make that kids can help in the kitchen by popping it themselves or adding toppings.

Whether you're craving something sweet, salty, spicy – or nearly anything else – freshly popped popcorn can serve as the perfect base ingredient to simply mix in your favorite toppings or create more unique tastes by combining a variety of herbs and spices.

For example, consider these hacks to add easy flavor: n

Pop it on the stove. Stovetop popping allows you to choose your toppings. Cover the bottom of a pot with a thin layer of oil and popcorn kernels, shake to coat, cover with a lid then turn on the heat. Once popping has slowed to 2-second intervals, remove from heat and add toppings.

n

Add some sweetness. When you're in the mood for something sweet, add a dash of salt and a pinch of sugar (or more to meet your taste) to a bowl of popcorn. Or add sugar to the pan before it’s popped, like this recipe for Sugar Corn.

n

Melt some butter. For a classic taste treat, melt a little butter and pour over your bowl of popped corn.

n

Satisfy multiple cravings. Pop a large pot of popcorn and divide it in half; top one half with sweeter toppings like honey, which is a key ingredient in Honey Matcha Popcorn, and the other with something savory, like nutritional yeast or dill. When hunger strikes, you're ready, regardless of the flavor craving.

n

Spice it up. Cayenne pepper and a blend of other spices can be sprinkled on popcorn to create a spicier snack like Cajun Corn.

n

Add mix-ins. Add dried fruits, nuts or candies to a bowl of popcorn to make your own trail mix.

n

Cheese, please. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese can make your snack a bit more substantial. Mix in some dried herbs like basil and parsley to create this Popcorn Con Pesto.
