Story and Photos by Pat Krause The 13th production of One Night Only was presented by Michael Childers on April 25th. The event benefits the Jewish Family Service, JFW, of the Desert. Childers said it was hard to believe that this production has been successful for 13 straight years. Childers serves as the producer of the event finding the talent for the concert. Broadways favorite actor, Jason Graae, served as Director of this year’s show. Christopher Marlowe was Musical Director, and Larry Fuller was the Choreographer, JFS serves our local seniors, the Desert community, our youth and the Jewish
Community with programs, assistance, education, kids summer camps, senior lunches. Transportation, counseling and much more. Ken Katz was the Executive Producer again this year, and the co-producer was Nancy Downer. This event could not happen without all the help of the Co-chairs. It takes many to fill that role for such a massive production. Event Co-chairs were Barbara Fromm and Terri Ketover with Honorary Cochairs, Helene Galen, Barbara Keller, Harold Matzner, Dr. Tim Jochen and Lee Erwin. It takes a team this big to keep

The evening started with a cocktail hour where waiters walked around with slices of Pizza. A buffet table was set up in the dining area where finger sandwiches and other treats were available. There was a bar set up just on the outside patio where guests could be seated at tables or standing at high tables. The terrace overlooks the pool and golf course. The Palm Springs High School band performed on the opposite of the pool. Guests watched in awe as the baton twirlers did their routines. Galen thanked all for coming as guests filled this beautiful home with all the fabulous art. Guests were treated for valet service and welcomed
by Galen and Kabler as they entered. It was like friends meeting friends with the cast as some only see each other at the One Night Only Concert. The highlight of the evening is when some of the cast of One Night Only perform for the guests. This informal setting is such a thrill for the crowd, and many get involved with a sing-along. Liz Calloway and Ann Hampton Calloway started the evening with Ann on the piano and both singing. Next came Faith Prince with Billy Stritch at the Piano singing along with her. David Bernham got the crowd going by going into the group and hugging guests and asking for guests to sing along.

look like it was a busy cafe. The event held a free cocktail bar for refreshments. There were four buffet tables, so there was no waiting for a meal. There was salads, pasta, meats, vegetables and more. Desserts were on each table, and there were over 50 tables set up and other tables for standing. There was entertainment the night of the afterparty. Then
at the end of the meal waiters came around each table with a large goblet filled with pink cotton candy. This afterparty is part of the price of the ticket to see a fabulous show. Guests were able to talk to and interact with the singers and actors of the concert. This concert gives the audience an experience of listening to some of broadways stars in an intimate setting.
To be able to see and hear so many in such a short time can be applauded by those who make it all happen. This Desert provides some of the biggest and best in entertainment in such a small community. This One Night Only is one of the biggest venues in the Valley. No wonder it is a sellout early. And it benefits a muchneeded charity in Jewish Family Services of the Desert.

To date, the world is falling short to reach these goals by $2.5 Trillion. To bridge the gap, we must look to using private capital as well as public investments.

their investments too. Impact investing refers to Investments made into companies, organizations, and funds with the intention to generate a measurable, beneficial social or environmental impact alongside a financial return. Impact investments provide the capital to address social and environmental issues. What are some of the reasons that the wealthy are motivated to gift? Respondents who were surveyed recently stated that they feel that society is best served by supporting their values and interests. The most believe that they have a moral obligation to share their good fortune with less fortunate people. They have an ardent desire to leave a legacy and have a strong desire and sense of potential to improve the world. In most cases, their family has had a history of giving back, and
they want to gift their talents and time because they feel gratitude for the support they were given, when they had less and needed the help. The survey also revealed that most wealthy individuals expressed more confidence in the private sector’s than in the government’s ability to solve social and environmental issues and many maintained that private money invested in public works and social programs could produce superior outcomes. Wealthy individuals who made financial contributions to nonprofits and causes, also, considered philanthropic giving the best way they make the most significant contribution. Another way they give is by actively volunteering their time, skills and services to nonprofit organizations, while many work for nonprofit groups. Recent studies found that
investors planned to increase capital committed to impact investments this year and this sector of investments have shown steady growth and good returns. Many investors feel that businesses and individuals were most effective at creating better economic opportunities and a higher standard of living for more people. Surveys also found that the Wealthy respondents feel that the most effective ways to stimulate the economy are comprehensive tax reform, investments in infrastructure, increasing the rate of business startups and ventures in innovation and research. Only a small percent believe that the government was most effective at creating economic opportunities. Two-thirds of respondents surveyed said economic equality in the country would be worse or no better if left entirely to the government
to address, no matter what party is in control. Although 70% expressed confidence in the growth of the national economy, more felt stronger about their local economies, where they could more directly make a difference as business owners and work with local leadership. Without their gifts, many non-profits would not be in existence, and our goals for improving our society and environment would not be possible. Janice Gough is a Financial Advisor in Palm Springs.

More Bills of Interest to Help (or Harm?) HOAs in 2018
By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL Last week’s column discussed SB1265, a terrible bill for HOAs. There are several other bills which, if passed, would make major and minor changes to HOAs in 2019, and they are a mixed bag. Senate Bill (“SB”)1016, authored by Senator Allen, would add Civil Code 4745.1 to the current 4745 (regarding electric vehicle charging stations). Civil 4745.1 would require associations to cooperate with owners who wish to install “time of use” (“TOU”) meters on their electric vehicle charging stations. So long as members meet the requirements, encouraging electric vehicles is a good thing, and SB 1016 helps that good thing in HOAs. SB 1016 was approved by the Senate, and is pending in the Assembly. SB 1128, authored by Senator Roth from Northern Riverside County, would reduce wasted motion in HOA elections. If passed, this bill would create Civil Code 5100(g), which would allow an association to declare candidates elected by acclamation if, after the period for nominations has closed, there are no more candidates than openings on the board. The bill would also allow homeowners to elect to notify the HOA via email (instead of a “hard” copy) that the homeowner wishes to receive notifications via email rather than postal mail. The bill passed the
Senate Transportation and Housing Committee and is awaiting hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill is practical, a quality sorely needed in the HOA governance world. Senate Bill 721 is a major bill applying to both apartment and condominium buildings. SB721 arises from the 2015 tragedy in Berkeley in which 6 persons died and 7 others were injured when a 5th floor apartment balcony collapsed. The balcony was alleged to have been in need of repairs. The bill is co-authored by Senators Hill (San Francisco) and Skinner (East San Francisco Bay) and includes adding a new Section 4776 to the Davis-Stirling Act. The new section would require associations to have an architect, civil engineer, structural engineer, or independent certified building inspector inspect balconies, elevated walkways, railings May 2, 2018
and any other “elevated exterior element” once every six years, with the first inspection completed no later than January 1, 2024. The inspection must be followed by a detailed report within 45 days of the inspection, and the inspector must inspect at least 15% of each elevated exterior element. As to HOAs, the new law would only apply to community apartments, stock cooperatives and condominiums, and not to planned developments. A number of questions remain unanswered about this bill, despite its laudable goal. Will associations and apartment building owners be able to find qualified professionals who will perform these inspections? Will the inspectors be held liable if they miss something? Will these inspectors be able to procure insurance to cover the risk of negligent inspections? If an apartment owner or HOA
board obtains this inspection of 15% of its balconies, is that a shield against liability if one of the 85% other elevated exterior elements fail? SB 721 was approved by the Senate and is currently pending in the Assembly. If you have opinions about any or all of these bills, let your representatives know.

Anti-Immigrant Law Sits on TN Governor’s Desk
Tennessee communities will be prohibited from offering sanctuary to undocumented immigrants, and the law may actually lead to increased incidences of unreported crime when immigrants are afraid to call police for help. (yummypixels/Twenty20) By Desert Star Staff NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee may claim the moniker “Volunteer State,”
but a bill awaiting Gov. Bill Haslam’s signature frames the state as less than welcoming. HB 2315, known as
By Desert Star Staff OLYMPIA, Wash. – An orca conservation team convened by Gov. Jay Inslee is holding its first meeting on Tuesday. The Southern Resident Killer Whale Recovery Task Force will focus on ways to help the Northwest’s iconic species. Southern Resident Orca numbers in the Salish Sea have been in serious decline, reaching a high of 98 in 1995 and numbering only 76 today. It is the only killer whale population protected under the Endangered Species Act, but the state believes more conservation efforts are needed. Stephanie Solien, who is co-chairing the Task Force, says many of the remaining orcas are in bad shape. She says the Task Force will focus on three of the well-known threats to the whales. “There’s a lack of adult
chinook salmon abundance,” she says. “There’s persistent toxic pollutants that are both in our Puget Sound and in the waters all the way up to Canada. And underwater noise and disturbance from both commercial and recreational vessels.” Solein says underwater noise is affecting the whales’ ability to forage and communicate. Inslee will be at the first meeting, where Solein says members will learn about the science of what the whales need to survive and set up a governing structure. In his executive order, Inslee laid out a two-year timeline for action. The Task Force includes members of tribes, commercial fishing and conservation groups, the state Legislature and the provincial government of British Columbia. Solien says conservation will be a statewide effort, especially when it comes to
the “Anti-Sanctuary Bill,” requires local governments to enforce deportation activities. Opponents say it’s
the most extreme legislation of its kind in the country and will come at a cost to more than just Tennessee’s immigrant population. Stephanie Teatro is coexecutive director of the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition. “Tennesseans are going to be spending their local tax dollars supporting the work of the federal government,” Teatro said. “It means that immigrant families are going to have to fear calling the police, because they’re going to know that police are now required to ask about immigration status, required to share information and detain people for ICE.” The ACLU of Tennessee also opposed the bill, calling it “a direct assault on our civil liberties and the quality of life in our welcoming state.” Haslam has 10 days to veto or sign the legislation,
or he can allow it to become law without his signature. Supporters say it’s needed to maintain current federal immigration law. There are currently no sanctuary cities in Tennessee, and the bill would block some state funding from any cities who chose to offer sanctuary to undocumented immigrants. Some civil rights experts question the constitutionality of the bill, and Teatro is concerned about the damage to the state’s reputation. “We hope that the governor will veto this extreme bill that will make Tennessee a very dangerous place for immigrant families,” she said. “That will damage our state’s reputation and our economy. “ Critics of the bill have said the legislation opens up local governments to potential lawsuits if they illegally detain someone.
Governor-Led Orca Recovery Effort to Hold First Meeting

The Task Force is partnering with a salmon recovery network that works locally across Washington to protect the fish. “We are fortunate that this
statewide salmon recovery network will be working with us to provide both short- and long-term recommendations on habitat needs, as well as the need for clean and plentiful water,” she explains.
Solien says this plan will test the Northwest’s ability to tackle big issues in the environment. “We cannot fail,” she stresses. “This is a regional effort that has to succeed.”
Fired Boulder Editor Fears for Other Colorado Newspapers By Desert Star Staff BOULDER, Co. – A Boulder newspaper editor says his recent firing could have a chilling effect on other Colorado newspapers that are controlled by the hedge fund Alden Global Capital. Boulder Daily Camera editor Dave Krieger was fired last week after selfpublishing a piece highly critical of Alden, which owns 50 newspapers across the country, including the Camera, the Denver Post and other papers along the Front Range and eastern plains. Krieger’s column was

originally meant to appear on the Camera’s editorial page days after the Denver Post published similar critical opinions of Alden for its plans to cut one-third of the paper’s staff this year. When the Camera’s publisher refused to print Krieger’s editorial, Krieger self-published it on a blog and was fired days later. He says it was the first time the paper had censored his content. “This violated the basic, and really sort of sacred norm in journalism, is that journalists make those decisions and business people do not,” he
says. “That’s just rule number one, and there’s no decent journalism organization in the country that does not abide by that rule.” Denver Post editors have called on Alden to sell the paper, rather than continue reducing staff and its ability to provide Front Range news coverage. Attempts to contact Alden Global Capital or Digital First Media for a response have been unsuccessful so far. Krieger argues that Alden continues to drain cash from its newspapers by cutting staff, but local readers are unaware that’s May 2, 2018
what’s causing their pages and local coverage to shrink. “This is an important story for Boulder, and Boulder should know it,” he adds. “Its newspaper is on the verge of death. It is in a death spiral.” Alden took over the papers in 2010 and runs them through Digital First Media. But Krieger says many readers who subscribe to one of the papers aren’t aware their news source is being strangled by a hedge fund, because stories critical of the owners aren’t printed. “If the ownership of the Boulder Daily Camera is so
corrupt that it will not even allow itself to be used as a platform for a discussion of this important civic issue, if it is so corrupt that it will suppress any mention of this important Boulder issue, then I have to admit it might not be worth saving,” he laments. Digital First Media has eliminated two out of every three staff positions at its media properties since 2010. Alden also owns the Longmont, Loveland and Estes Park newspapers, as well as several others in Colorado.

FAMILY FEATURES
amilies are seemingly always on the go. From soccer games and school trips to excursions with friends and vacations with the family, people are constantly on the move, exploring new places and experiencing new things. In fact, a study by Sfara shows that kids today are using public transportation, going on field trips and taking long-distance road trips at much younger ages compared to 30 years ago. As exciting as these new opportunities can be, it’s equally as important to make sure families – and kids – stay safe and protected at home and on the go.
AROUND THE HOUSE Know your neighbors Whether you live in an apartment building, cul-de-sac or the countryside, make it a point to get to know your neighbors. Building these relationships isn’t only neighborly, but can help keep you safe. Not only can you have a stronger community of people to lean on for small crises, like borrowing forgotten ingredients, and larger emergencies, such as weather-related disasters, but you’ll also have a better understanding of your surroundings.
Help in an instant While security systems deliver some peace of mind, they’re not always fool-proof, and they also aren’t transferable to the office, school or your summer getaway. Always on and always available, an app such as Sfara Guardian can help keep you and your family safe, no matter where you are. By just triple-tapping your phone, even while it’s in your pocket, the app connects you to a live emergency manager who can provide the help you need. If you’re unable to respond, it will dispatch local responders to your exact location immediately.
cleaning supplies, prescription medicine or kitchen knives. Make sure to also have open conversations with kids about the dangers of seemingly safe home products so they are equipped to make appropriate choices outside the home.
Fire safety
Take the time to ensure your home is properly equipped in case of fire. Check that you have working fire extinguishers and that windows and fire escapes are not blocked by heavy furniture or other objects. Be sure everyone in your family knows the plan in case of a fire or similar emergency at home, and is aware of how to contact help, if needed.

Accessibility
Tools to take on the road
While baby-proofing starts in your children’s earliest years, limiting their access to certain areas or items is important throughout their childhoods. When you have a young child, locks on cabinets and gates across steps may be your focus when it comes to home safety. As kids get older, ensure they do not have unsupervised access to dangerous items like
In the past, families brought the essentials with them when on the go – a first aid kit, snacks and water bottles. Now, in addition to the basics, make sure you add modern essentials to your packing list when you’re away from home, whether you’re going on a day trip or a long vacation.

Stranger danger When in public, be hyper-aware of your surroundings and the people around you. Talk with your kids about how they should respond if they are approached by a stranger. It’s a good idea to practice at home so your child feels comfortable giving an emphatic “no” if the need arises. If you’ll be at a crowded location where you may become separated, use your phone to take a photo of your child so you have a current photo and clothing description ready if the unthinkable happens.

ost families spend an ample part of every day in their vehicles, between transport to school, activities, work and various errands. Keeping everyone safe is easier than ever with a slew of safety features that are increasingly available, either straight from the factory or as add-ons to your in-car experience. Advanced Navigation: While built-in navigation systems in cars may just seem like an added convenience, they are also a key safety feature. Navigation systems offer easy access to directions and points of interest on the road, which can help eliminate distractions and reduce the possibility of accidents. Features like voice control can make navigation hands-free and allow you to concentrate on the road. Smartphone Crash Detection: Today, the technology in your pocket is often more advanced than the cars you drive or ride in. Apps like Sfara Guardian can detect a car crash or incident and dispatch help. Because the technology is on the phone, it works whether you are the driver or passenger and in your car or someone else’s. Roadside assistance has a modern twist, too. If you need help with a flat or a tow, you can request service on your app and map the driver in real-time as he or she heads your way. Lock Controls: In some vehicles, an adjustable setting allows you to control which car doors unlock depending on which door you open first or how many times you press the unlock button. This feature can allow a driver to safely enter the car on the driver’s side without unlocking other doors and potentially giving access to an intruder. Similar controls can keep mischievous kids from pushing buttons in the back and unlocking or opening rear doors or windows without your knowledge.

New Benefits and Insurance Options You Can Expect in 2018
By Desert Star Staff Ever wondered whether your insurance policy was actually working for you? You may be in luck, as your insurance plan may start to follow the same trends being adopted in other industries: simpler, more convenient and personalized products – all supported by the latest mobile technology. This year, Stephanie Shields, a product marketing and development expert from Aflac, (Aflac herein means American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus and American Family Life Assurance Company of New York) says that policyholders can expect these “value-added services” to become less of a nice-tohave and more of a given: • Telemedicine: Consulting with a physician and getting treatment online offers greater flexibility and may become essential to busy people. • Fraud protection: Identity theft is likely top of mind for policyholders and businesses. Expect to see better fraud protection, including ongoing internet monitoring and full identity restoration after a data breach. • Bill negotiation: The ever-changing health care system is often confusing to navigate. Ongoing education,
as well as help understanding medical bills, can ultimately mean greater access to efficient, affordable care. Transformed Benefits: Insurance providers will likely shift the customer experience to follow that of retailers and other industries. In 2018, expect to see insurers such as Aflac offer more cohesive insurance policies that combine multiple benefit types into one plan. Beyond the Basics: You may find things that were once luxuries, such as 401K matching, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and even annual bonuses, are not as successful in meeting the expectations of today’s employees. As those expectations grow, successful businesses can continue to close the gap with such services as: • Health advocacy: Access to round-the-clock personal health advocates who can answer health care and insurance-related questions. • Financial and legal fitness: Access to financial and legal advisors who can educate consumers on the preparation of wills and other legal documents. • College-advisory services: These might include resources to help lower
college costs and navigate the admissions process. • No more “one-size-fitsall”: Communications from benefits providers may be more tailored to individual needs. • Bite-sized communications: Concise information about workplace benefits, tips for using benefits to help protect financial security and better explanations of coverage combinations that are appropriate at various life stages. • New format: While some benefits information will still be delivered in the typical booklet format, more businesses may consider using online articles, digital signs, brown-bag
luncheons and town halls. • Frequent communications: Employers may communicate about benefits throughout the year, or time communications to coincide with life events, such as employee anniversaries. Time Spent Smarter: In 2018, employers who have not yet adopted online platforms to manage benefits may do so. Advantages include year-round, convenient access to pertinent information and one-page views of all benefits options and selections, enabling you to identify any holes you may have in coverage. Penny-Pinching: More voluntary benefits,
such as accident, critical illness/ cancer, hospital indemnity, life and disability insurance, are on the horizon. According to the 2017 Aflac WorkForces Report, 81 percent of employees see a growing need for voluntary insurance benefits, and 90 percent consider voluntary insurance at least somewhat part of a comprehensive benefits program. Thanks to a tech-driven world and the growing demands of consumers, 2018 may see insurers expand their services to offer even more convenience and personalization. StatePoint
How to Care for Your Eyes as You Age
By Desert Star Staff As we age, our bodies don’t perform as well as they once did, and vision is no exception. However, early detection and treatment of eye problems and diseases through an eye exam is the best way to protect your eyes and overall health. To help keep your eyes healthy for years to come, consider the following tips. • Eat an eye-healthy diet. Fruits and vegetables, especially carrots and dark leafy greens, provide a hefty punch of key vitamins and a key vision protecting-substance called lutein. Find some new
recipes to make filling up on these nutritious choices both delicious and fun. • Maintain a healthy weight. Did you know that by eating healthy portions, exercising regularly and doing your best to maintain a healthy weight, you can reduce your risk of cataracts? Conditions such as obesity and diabetes can lead to vision problems like cataracts. • Protect eyes from blue light. Most people today spend a lot of time in front of digital screens, such as smartphones, computers and televisions. These devices emit high-energy blue light,
which causes digital eye strain that can lead to headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes and even neck pain. Ask your eye doctor about the best options to help reduce eye strain. • Get an eye exam. A yearly eye exam is one of the easiest and most important ways to reduce your odds of vision loss and protect your eyes. And it can also help you monitor and protect your overall health. Whether or not you wear glasses, be sure to schedule this crucial appointment. A routine eye exam can help detect signs of serious health conditions, like diabetes, high cholesterol, high

According to the PNC Economic Outlook, optimism is running at historic highs in all categories that the semiannual survey of small and medium-size business owners evaluates.

However, four out of 10 respondents say it’s harder to hire qualified employees today compared to six months ago, with the biggest challenge being lack of experience or skill. “Small businesses are a key source of economic activity and employment, and owners’ perceptions can be a good indicator of what’s to come,” says Gus Faucher, chief economist of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. “Our overall findings confirm that U.S. economic expansion will likely continue throughout 2018.” StatePoint

Interest Rates are Rising: Should You Buy a Home or Wait?
By Desert Star Staff With heightened talk of rising interest rates, many prospective homebuyers are understandably concerned about whether it’s the right time to purchase a home. Indeed, you may be wondering if you waited too long and let the historically low interest rates pass you by or if you can still find a dream home that fits within your current budget.
Experts say that it’s true that rates are at their highest in almost four years and that this year has been particularly rough, however, it’s not all bad news. Rates are still well below the levels seen 10, 20 and 30 years ago. “Rates are still low by historical standards, helping make mortgage payments affordable for many, but your wallet might take a hit if rates continue to go up,”
would be $1,119 with a total interest paid of $242,748. With an 18 percent interest rate, your monthly payment skyrockets to $2,411 with a total interest paid of $708,081. If rates jump a half percentage, you’ll pay a bit more each month, which isn’t ideal, but the added expense will unlikely be a deal-breaker. However, if rates jump to the levels they were in 1981 (an average of 18 percent), you can expect to pay a whopping $1,600 more per month, which may cause you to think twice about taking the plunge into homeownership.

HOROSCOPES ARIES
Your shadow is Libra, the art and creation of Right Human Relations. Aries develops individuality (not quite understanding cooperation). Libra cooperatively develops the self with others. Integration for Aries occurs in relationship and partnership. Observe your behavior with others. Are you always the leader, the initiator, or do you assist others in discovering their initiating leadership qualities? “All that begins in Aries, resolves itself in Libra.”
TAURUS Your shadow is the deep waters of Scorpio, sign of the Disciple. You test the trustworthiness of others. As you seek the Art of Living, Scorpio seeks the Art of diving deep into darkness (dying, regenerating), inviting everyone to join them. While you seek safety and comfort, Scorpio is living life behind closed doors, too hidden to go out. Taurus loves Scorpio but often, unable to see in the dark, doesn’t know it yet.
GEMINI You seek Sagittarius to take you on an adventure far away (from your neighborhood). You sometimes wish you could play music, prepare food and travel like Sag and not always gathering information that overwhelms, sometimes infuriates, and causes
MAY 2 – 8, 2018 ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST BY RISA D’ANGELES
confusion if love isn’t around. You long for Sag’s “focus.”. They never fall off the mountain. You’re secretly and emotionally falling down everywhere into meadows of flowers, blinded, yet often happy, about where you’re going.
CANCER We’re always unconsciously attracted to our opposite signs. You wish you could bring forth all that’s practical. The opposite of practical, your environments are piled high with boxes, baskets, trinkets everywhere, the stove filled with soups and stews. You seek the Capricorn clearing-out method of “throw everything out, turn off the heat, tear up the rug, and give everything away,” way of life. It’s not nurturing. It’s not you! But a tiny part is!
LEO We gaze at our opposites. They seem to have all the attributes we seem to lack. You, the heart-felt, need to be recognized, praised, and applauded for anything you create. You gaze across the room to the Aquarian the foot loose, fancy-free, friendly acquaintance to everyone (acquaintance to everyone, friend to none) – floating happily here and there, giving things away, putting up art shows, taking them down as if heedless to time. Where is their love you ask?
VIRGO Whereas you are detailed to the minute, Pisces swoons with any detail. It wounds them. Whereas you can bring order and organization to everything, Pisces doesn’t even know most things exist to be organized. As you are able to serve the self, Pisces knows it must serve and save the world, first. Pisces has no self. Sometimes you wish you were a Pisces. All this detail work makes the eyes dim and tired. Next life.
LIBRA While you focus your entire life energies on relationships – how to have them, keep them, maintain and tend to them – your Aries side scoffs, thinking your relationship needs are dependencies and humiliating. But you know you cannot exist without them. Libra needs the “other” in order to understand how to be in relationships. Life for Libra means two, not one (like Aries). Poor alone Aries, Libra thinks. But then senses a lack of freedom. Interesting paradox.
SCORPIO You never fall into the illusion of others providing for you. You provide everything, at all times, for yourself, by yourself. You are the “triumphant warrior.” However, sometimes you peek out from your closed black curtains to see how Taurus, over there practicing the Art of comfortable Living, is doing and
sometimes you wish you were a Taurus, too. It’s hard being in self-denial most of the time in order to protect yourself. Or drowning in dark waters. Perhaps you need a couch.
SAGITTARIUS Always on the road, even in your mind, seeking the next place, goal, project, plan, person…anything keeping you moving, arrow-like, focused on what’s ahead. You wish you were Gemini sometimes, provincial, afraid to wander away from the neighborhood, content to sip on local flowers, never venturing up Sir Hillary’s Mount Everest, which signified a spiritual ascent for humanity. You’re always where the greatest need for you is. You’re needed, you ask?
CAPRICORN You are, yes, practical and methodical, can turn chaos into order, can supervise and shape up a crowd of hungry party-goers with a baleful glance, but really what you need is some chicken soup and matzo balls from Cantors (or Zabars) made by Cancer hands with a bit of warm heart thrown in. While you’re known for resourcefulness and sturdy boots that climb ladders to the top of mountains, you also need the kindness Cancer’s emotional support offers. Mother, where are you?
You don’t think you need anything but the future. But really you need a bit of a Leo’s warm heart in order to catch (and keep) a full time partner that becomes a marriage (someday, maybe). While you prize your freedom, you gaze at Leo’s circle of friends always supporting their creativity and wish you could have a bit of Leo’s heated drama in your cold neon-lit life. Seek out a Leo. Tell them you’re in need. Keep making art.
PISCES While you’re listening to the Mind of God, while you see devas (fairies and light beings in the garden) and understand all things mystical, as you “slouch toward Bethlehem” with the Magi hoping to catch the holy child before His flight to Egypt, you gaze upon Virgo, gestating a new state of awareness with poise, neatness, selfcontrol, composure and dignity. While you are rumpled, disheveled, sweating, lost and wondering where you came from. You call to Virgo. It’s your wound sometimes.

Conservatives: Methane Rollback Not Aligned with Conservative Values
By Desert Star Staff ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Conservatives for Responsible Stewardship has launched a media blitz arguing the Trump administration’s plan to roll back a waste-prevention rule on methane is not consistent with conservative principles. The Obama-era rule was designed to prevent energy waste, ensure a fair return on royalties, and improve air quality. It was set to take effect earlier this year, but Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said it was a burden on the industry and called for it to be eliminated. David Jenkins is president of Conservatives for Responsible Stewardship. He said he wants New Mexico Republican Rep.
Steve Pearce to stop supporting the rollback. “You know, I’m a conservative, our organization is an organization of conservatives, and we’re of the opinion that waste is not conservative,” Jenkins said. “Common sense standards being put in place to prevent waste and to save taxpayers money, that’s a conservative thing to do.” Jenkins’ group has placed multiple newspaper, radio and online ads to support the methane rule. A conservation group that monitored the comment period on the proposed rollback said 99 percent of the half-million people who weighed in were opposed. Methane is a potent
greenhouse gas, and reports show that harmful emissions from oil and gas production on federal and tribal lands is worse in New Mexico than any other state. Jenkins argued that restricting emissions should not be a political issue. “Their knee-jerk reaction to push for a rollback, in our view, is just special interest politics,” he said. “And it has nothing to do
with thinking about what’s best for New Mexico residents going forward.” The Department of the Interior reported that in 2014, oil and gas companies wasted enough gas to supply 1.5 million households for a year. Jenkins said in New Mexico alone, the industry is estimated to waste more than $100 million worth of natural gas annually.
“What it comes down to are people not willing to go that little extra step to do something right,” Jenkins said. “They want to do the easiest thing and the quickest thing to get them profit with the least amount of effort.” Colorado already requires oil and gas companies to install equipment to capture excess gas.

‘Paddington 2’ --A Charming Tale for All Ages
In the first “Paddington” movie from Warner Bros., the adorable Peruvian bear named Paddington journeys to London where he is adopted by the Brown family headed by Hugh Bonneville (“Downton Abbey”). In the sequel Paddington (voiced by Ben Whishaw) wants to find the perfect birthday gift for his Aunt Lucy (Imelda Staunton) who will be celebrating her 100th birthday in Peru. He isn’t sure what to give his beloved Auntie, so he visits the gift shop of Mr. Gruber (Jim Broadbent) in search of the perfect present. When he spots a delightful pop-up book about London, filled with beautiful illustrations that leap off the page, Paddington tells Mr. Gruber he must have it. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have enough money to pay for it. He asks Mr. Gruber to please save the book for him while he looks for a job to earn enough money to buy it. Immediately Paddington heads off to find work to raise the money. His first job in a barber shop turns out to be a disaster, but fun to watch as the little bear attempts to do a haircut that
doesn’t turn out well at all. Next, he becomes a window washer, but that too is not easy for the little bear in a red hat and blue coat who finds it hard to reach windows on the second floor. When the Brown’s next door neighbor, actor Phoenix Buchanan (played by Hugh Grant), hears about the book which contains a hidden secret, he goes to the gift shop to buy it. However Mr. Gruber knows how much it means to Paddington, so he doesn’t sell it to him. At this point, the actor steals the book from the shop and frames it on Paddington who frantically runs after him in the dark of night in an attempt to retrieve this extraordinary book. When the actor, who is also a magician, disappears with the pop-up book only poor Paddington is captured by the police. He goes to trial and is found guilty of the theft. As a result, Paddington is sentenced to prison. Used to eating fantastic marmalade sandwiches at home with his family, Paddington politely complains to the growling prison chef, Knuckles (Brendan
BY THEDA KLEINHANS REICHMAN
Gleeson), telling him that his food tastes awful. At first, this gets him into trouble. However, things change dramatically when Knuckles takes a bite out of Paddington’s marmalade sandwich which the Brown family brought to him on their latest visit. It is love at first bite, and a new and unusual friendship begins. Will things turn out well for Paddington? And will he be able to get back the beautiful pop-up book for Aunt Lucy? Check out the movie,

Fans of one-of-a-kind specials, soundtracks and cinematic-related scores should check out several great new commercial titles available now.
Title: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: In Concert (Time Life) You might like if you enjoy: The Beatles, classic rock, modern rock, soul, alt-country Tell me more: It’s hard not to be blown away watching the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: In Concert,” a release available on Blu-ray and DVD featuring the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction speeches and performances from 2014-2017. With 674 minutes of content, there are guaranteed thrills for everyone along the way. Among this music lover’s highlights among the 53 (!) performances was Peter Gabriel’s powerful “Digging in the Dirt,” Carrie Underwood singing the Michael Nesmith-penned “Different Drum” in tribute to Linda Ronstadt, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts performing “Crimson and Clover” and being joined by the song’s composer Tommy James along with Dave Grohl and Miley Cyrus, and Beck adding an anthemic quality to the late Lou Reed’s “Satellite of Love” with the help of a few friends (Roger Joseph Manning Jr., Nate Ruess, Jason Falkner and Paul Shaffer & the Hall of Fame Orchestra). The entire section
featuring Ringo Starr’s Award for Musical Excellence is terrific, with both Paul McCartney and Starr shedding insight and humor into the Fab Four’s beginnings and subsequent performances of “Boys” (with Starr joined by Green Day), “It Don’t Come Easy” (featuring Joe Walsh on 12-string guitar) and the rousing finale with Starr, McCartney, Walsh, Beck and others joining forces. Among the standout performances at 2016’s ceremony that shine are Deep Purple blazing through the classic “Highway Star” and Cheap Trick’s full original lineup teaming up for a jubilant rocking set (“I Want You To Want Me,” “Dream Police,” “Surrender” and “Ain’t That a Shame”). The 2017 ceremony led off with a outstanding sets from ELO; other strong sets came courtesy of Joan Baez, Yes and Pearl Jam. Information: timelife.com.
Title: Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert - Original Soundtrack of the NBC Television Event (Masterworks Broadway) You might like if you enjoy: The music of Andrew Lloyd Webber Tell me more: The airing of “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert” on NBC-TV on April 1, 2018 (Easter Sunday) drew an estimated 10 million viewers and reintroduced the power of the enduring rock opera created by lyricist Tim Rice and composer Andrew Lloyd
Webber in the early 1970s. The live TV musical is now available as a 2CD audio set and will please fans of those who caught the TV special last month. Soul singer John Legend (a 10-time Grammy winner) is featured as Jesus Christ and the rest of the cast is just as strong, notably Sara Barelles (Mary Magdalene), Alice Cooper (King Herod), Brandon Victor Dixon (Judas) and Jason Tam (Peter). Other members of the cast include Ben Daniels (Pontius Pilate), Norm Lewis (Caiaphas), Jin Ha (Annas) and Swedish rock star Erik Gronwall (Simon Zealotes). Legend’s vocals are up to the task for the wide range of emotions he conveys in the demanding role of Jesus, notably on the foreboding “Gethsemane (I Only Wanted to Say)” and “The Last Supper” as well as on the tragic “The Arrest” and “The Crucifixion.” Among the strong performances featuring Barelles are “Everything’s Alright” and the tender “I Don’t Know How to Love Him.” Another standout on the recording is “King Herod’s Song,” a zealous turn from classic rock icon Alice Cooper. Dixon and the ensemble of singers’ voices soar on the gospel-styled “Superstar.” Information: masterworksbroadway.com.

As well as a score of electrifying live performances captured at the Copacabana nightclub in New York City in May 1967, the last recorded performance of the original trio: Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard. The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland, initially released in January 1967, further cemented the group’s chart prowess and vocal harmonizing skills. The original album, inspired by the production team who along with the group had come to define the “Motown Sound.”
Producers Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier and lyricist Edward Holland Jr. – spawned a pair of universally loved No. 1 singles, the forever-pleading “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” and the heartbreakingly dramatic “Love Is Here, and Now You’re Gone.” The LP also went to No. 1 on the Billboard R&B Albums Chart, their fourth album to do so up to that point while peaking at no. 6 Pop. Formed in Detroit as The Primettes in 1959, The Supremes were Motown’s most successful act of the 1960s, scoring 12 No. 1 singles. They also continue to reign as America’s most successful vocal group to date. Their influence not only carries on in contemporary R&B, soul and pop, they also helped pave the way for mainstream success by African-American artists across all genres. The expanded The Supremes Sing Holland-DozierHolland includes the original album in both its original mono and stereo mixes – with the mono record on CD for the first time – plus several rare and new mixes created exclusively for this expanded edition,
including alternate versions and alternate mixes of the hits. The original film version of the No. 1 hit “The Happening,” which was re-cut for the single version; a version of “Love Is Here, and Now You’re Gone” with a vocal previously available only on a Japanese release. A oncein-a-lifetime “duet” version of “You’re Gone (But Always In My Heart),” that includes lead vocals by Diana Ross and Gladys Knight. And a Motown mashup of the H-D-H classics “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)” and “Where Did Our Love Go.” Rounding out this collection is a rare recording from the Copacabana in New York, in May 1967, one of the last performances of the group with Florence Ballard. This spirited show is a masterful blend of Supremes hits and shows tunes, the epitome of Motown founder Berry Gordy’s vision for his Detroit-based company. And included in the package is a 32-page booklet with rare and never-before-seen photos plus an interview with Lamont Dozier. Also included is a bonus 24-page booklet that recreates The Supremes’ 1967 souvenir tour booklet.
Fifty-plus years on, The Supremes Sing HollandDozier-Holland receives a well-deserved remastered expansion, produced by the team responsible for previous expanded editions, Andrew Skurow and George Solomon, and remastered by Universal Music’s Kevin Reeves. These collections continue to keep us hangin’ on to the most
natural and most indelible blend of perfect harmonizing and majestic songwriting of the very best artists and creative teams Motown had to offer. Preorder The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland: classic.motown.com/ artist/the-supremes facebook.com/Supremes twitter.com/ClassicMotown
there’s a bit of a learning curve when it comes to selecting the right diamond, the most important thing you can do is find a piece both you and
your significant other will love. That said, don’t let the business of choosing an engagement ring be a source of stress at this exciting time in your life. With a bit of knowledge, you can make the right selection with confidence. Consider the following. • Consult with the leading authority: Be sure your diamond is Gemological Institute of America (GIA)certified. Established in 1931, GIA is the world’s foremost authority on diamonds, colored stones and pearls. A public benefit, nonprofit institute, GIA is the leading source of knowledge, standards and education in gems and jewelry. • Four Cs: Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so make your decision based on what looks most beautiful to you, however, knowing more about the four Cs – that is the cut, color, clarity and carat – of a diamond, can help you make a selection wisely. Created by the GIA, the four Cs are the global standard for assessing the quality of diamonds, allowing
you to compare one diamond to another, which is extremely helpful in determining whether you are getting a fair price. The cut is what gives a diamond its brilliance and sparkle, so this is an important factor. As far as color is concerned, the less color the better -- tinting is indicative of a lower quality diamond. Clarity refers to a diamond’s relative flawlessness -- blemishes are a mark against a diamond. Lastly, carat measures the weight of the diamond. Be sure to view the GIA grading report specifying the exact quality of an individual diamond when making a decision. • Design your own engagement ring with the help of an expert: An engagement ring is one of the most meaningful items you will ever purchase. So, why opt for the style everyone else is wearing? Consider working with a jeweler that specializes in bespoke engagement rings and quality diamonds, such as Enchanted Diamonds. With experience spanning generations, the
family-owned and operated jeweler will work with you to custom create a ring for your unique specifications. “You’re not just buying another massproduced commodity, you’re commissioning a work of art,” says Joshua Niamehr, founder and CEO of Enchanted Diamonds. • Shop online: Gaining access to a large selection of diamonds can be difficult when shopping at a brick-and-mortar store close to home. Consider shopping online for access to a larger and better selection of diamonds, including those found in New York City’s worldrenowned diamond district. Doing so will give you a greater opportunity to find the perfect fit for your unique needs, style and budget without ever having to leave your home. Before getting down on one knee, do your research. There’s a perfect engagement ring for every couple. Finding it just requires a little bit of legwork. StatePoint

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 714-730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000007304488. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $70,597.18 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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.

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.

4 Migrant Couples Marry Before Entering U.S.
KMIR News Staff Shaky hands, butterflies, looking deeply into one another’s eyes: these are all normal wedding day feelings, but for four couples in Tijuana, Sunday’s ceremony had an even deeper meaning. After they’re married, they will try to cross into the United States together to seek political asylum. The couples are part of a caravan of some 300 mostly Central American migrants trying to escape unrest in their countries. Before crossing the border into San Diego, the couples were married in a joint wedding ceremony in Tijuana Sunday morning. Pastor Emma Lozano of Chicago’s Lincoln United Methodist Church wore symbolic butterfly wings as she sought to transform the lives of the brides and grooms before her.

Pride Comes to Coachella with East Valley Flair
KMIR Max Rodriguez The Coachella Veterans Memorial Park wore the colors of the rainbow during the second annual East Coachella Valley Pride Festival. It was a pride festival but with an eastern valley flair, Fabeyonce turnedup the energy with a drag performance with music by Latina icon Jenni Rivera, and Indio resident and one of the event organizers Paulina Angel was proud to see LGBTQ pride in her neighborhood. Angel said, “So amazing to finally see it brought here to the East Valley, we are finally bringing education, understanding and possibly gain some allies.” For many years, pride in the desert was only associated to Palm Spring’s event in November, but Angel said the Coachella Valley is an extensive region, and they want to see more outreach. Angel said, “Growing up LGBT, there wasn’t anything down here for the longest
LA QUINTA
time, you had to go to either Palm Springs or even L.A. or San Francisco.” On Saturday a “marcha de orgullo” or pride march transformed the Coachella Veterans Memorial Park into a safe space for expression. The superintendent for the Coachella Valley Unified School
District, Dr. Edwin Gomez was one of the marchers, he said, “I think it is great to have the kids participate, have the community participate in a great event like this, and it is wonderful to see the enthusiasm of the community and just to be part of it.” As much as the event was
a LGBTQ pride demonstration, it was also an outlet for resources such as HIV testing and prevention education by the Desert Aids Project. Jose De La Cruz is a community educator with the Desert Aids Project, he said, “The first line of defense is education, and if you are aware and if you are knowledgeable about the infection being here, then you are more likely to take action to prevent it from happening.” He said the organization has made a push to bring more of their education and resources to the east part of the valley. And because one in ten people identify as a member of the LGBTQ community, pride will continue to grow into new areas of the desert. Angel said, “This gives us the chance to finally represent the community that we have here as well.” Source: KMIR

Fans of crossword puzzles will enjoy CV Rep’s latest comedy “2 Across”
Joel Bryant and Andrea Gwynnel. Photo by Greg Brunton By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Member American Theatre Critics Association (ATCA) The impact that crossword puzzles play around the world obviously is unknown, despite the fact that millions indulge themselves every day solving or at least, trying to solve these literary challenges known as the ‘war of the words’. What is known, however, is the role that one particular New York Times puzzle plays, in the current CV REP stage production, “2 Across”, in Rancho Mirage. This delightful comedy of words and puzzles, and conversation, written by prolific comedy TV writer/ producer Jerry Mayer, is seamlessly and creatively directed by Deborah Harmon. Audiences can always rely on the technical/creative team credits at CV REP as being first rate. Theatrical productions often win over the hearts and minds of their patrons when they walk into the auditorium. CV REP is blessed with the creativity and artistry of its resident Set Designer and Emmy Award winner Jimmy Cuomo, who never to fails impress his audience. In “2 Across”, two stars perform their magic on a BART train set that feels so visually real, that we’re ready to exit when we hear our station being called by the car’s recorded conductor’s voice. Now, that’s an almost virtual reality experience. The story hook, in short, that brings two strangers aboard a San Francisco BART train at 4:30 AM is a pesky NY
Times crossword puzzle, and how each reacts to it and their personal situations. They’re alone in the car, each is married, and both are silently challenging the crossword author. When Josh (a terrific Joel Bryant), tosses his puzzle away in frustration. Janet (a lovely and prim Andrea Gwynnel) snaps, “Crosswords are a metaphor for life, those who finish, succeed; those who don’t, fail.” Thus, setting up a witty, hilarious ‘He said. She said.’ dialogue and at times, delivering many poignant moments of personal revelations, by Josh and Janet in the bargain. Although the play is performed without an intermission, running about 85 minutes, we’re quickly drawn into the play’s narrative thanks to the wonderful onstage chemistry of Mr. Bryant and Ms. Gwynnel. As many airline travelers can attest, when traveling alone, seat mates frequently get chatty, especially on non-stop, coast to coast flights. English travelers are amazed at how most Americans when traveling reveal so many bits of information about themselves to strangers. The American rationale is: it’s such a huge country and the odds of ever seeing one other again is highly remote. So what’s the risk? The dialogue between Janet and Josh says a lot about our civic discourse, social mores, our working lives, and our frustrations in dealing with our families and friends. Janet, is sharp-tongued because she’s dealing with a ‘flight from the
Joel Bryant and Andrea Gwynnel. Photo by Greg Brunton nest’ syndrome. Her young 18year old son has just enlisted in the Marine Corps, and is now on his on his way to Parris Island boot camp. She feels that her world is falling apart. Josh, an outgoing, social guy now begins to ease Janet’s anxiety by acting as a volunteer advisor. It’s his way of paying life’s benefits forward. He left his family’s button factory business seeking new and exciting opportunities. Although, he’s currently between jobs, Josh
is always upbeat; but no more spoiler alerts from me. You will just have to see for yourself how Mr. Bryant and Ms. Gwynnel, in highly nuanced performances, resolve their character’s situations. A great deal of the success of this entertaining comedy rests with director Harmon whose light touch brings out the best in her two stars. Their comedy timing is impeccable and a joy to watch. Helping to make the stage magic we see on Designer
Cuomo’s set, is a pitch-perfect lighting design by technical manager Moira Wilkie Whitaker that allows the audience to appreciate the costumes designed by Julie Onken; with Hair and Makeup designs by Lynda Shaeps, along with an excellent spot-on sound design by Kate Fechtig. Louise Ross stage manages. “2 Across”, performs at CV REP theatre in Rancho Mirage and runs through May 20, 2018. Don’t Miss It!
