“Who Is Alex Trebek?”

By Theda Kleinhans Reichman In the late 1990s and early 2000s, “Saturday Night Live” actor Will Ferrell spoofed the very erudite “Jeopardy” host Alex Trebek who often became frustrated by an over-the-top Sean Connery, played by Darrell Hammond, in an SNL version

of “Celebrity Jeopardy.”

Trebek got a kick out of the impersonation, saying, “If they’re spoofing you, poking fun at you or mentioning you it’s because you’re part of American pop culture, and that’s a good thing I think.”

Sadly Connery died on October 31st at age 90.

Then on Sunday, November 8th Trebek passed away at the age of 80.

Trebek’s loss is being mourned by countless thousands of fans, friends and world leaders. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called Trebek, born in Ontario, “an icon.” According to

Trudeau, “Almost every night for three decades, Alex Trebek entertained and educated millions around the world. instilling in so many of us a love for trivia.” He also sent his condolences to “Trebek’s family and friends and all who are mourning this tremendous loss.”

In 1998 Trebek became an American citizen but also retained his Canadian citizenship.

Many actors also paid tribute to Trebek. Armie Hammer (”The Lone Ranger,” “The Social Network”) called

By Desert Star Staff Driving up the private, winding road across a large wooden bridge spanning a running stream, Cal-a-Vie guests soon realize that they have entered another world. Cal-a-Vie Health Spa is situated on just over 500 acres of rolling terrain blanketed with wildflowers, lavender, vineyards and dramatic stands of oak, olive and citrus trees. The 18 hole golf course and Vista Valley Country Club are also owned by Cal-a-Vie. It is a haven for guests seeking a respite from the world’s chaos to find balance and peace with the goals of leaving healthier and recharged.

Cal-a-Vie is lovingly designed with attention to

detail and carefully curated aesthetics in an area graced with sun-drenched temperatures year-round.

The rustic elegance of the 32 Mediterranean-style villas, combined with the surrounding landscape’s beauty, brings to mind a Provençal village. The natural environment is thoughtfully integrated into the retreat’s design to enhance and heighten both the therapeutic and fitness programs’ effects. A soothing pond with running water simulates a natural spring, while boulders from the foothills around the property are placed in groups, offering a sense of stability. A Labyrinth

Cal-a-Vie Health Spa

Continued from Page 1 welcomes a meditative calm.

Each guest is assigned one of the 32 villas, complete with either a sun deck or a balcony opening onto an expanse of breathtaking wilderness. Nature enters through each shuttered window in visual glimpses and fragrant wafts from bougainvillea, sweetheart roses, jasmine, lavender, and citrus blossoms. Flower boxes resting on hand-hewn corbels brim with petunias, begonias, lobelia, and geraniums, adding to the already intoxicating effect.

The grounds are awash in purple agapanthus, flowering pear, plum, crepe myrtle, and jacaranda trees, which captivate the senses with their delicate beauty and fragrance.

The spirit of Provence is evoked not only in the landscape but also in the décor at Cal-a-Vie. Each villa is individually decorated

with imported chintzes and floral prints in a neutral palette with accents of color. French antiques fill the room, including intricately hand-carved over-sized headboards, armoires, benches, desks, and night tables in light oak, dark walnut, and pine. After a day of vigorous workouts, guests willingly sink into the luxurious down comforters and pillows, scrolled in toile, of their kingsize bed. The large, cheery bathroom features mirrors with carved silver leaf frames, pewter faucets from an antique design, and tiled floors in a simple mosaic pattern.

Inspired by the original French artwork and antiques found throughout Cal-a-Vie, the Cal-a-Vie Antique store was created in response to popular requests from guests looking to bring a piece of Cal-a-Vie’s original French Provencal décor home with them. Cal-a-Vie Antiques provides guests

By Desert Star Staff Citing a pair of problems, higher education groups want institutions to make it easier for students to transfer course credits between schools.

Members of the Scaling Partners Network say COVID-19 and the economic downturn are likely to lead to more students switching schools.

But they aren’t always able to transfer all of their credits, leading to a loss of money and time.

Dr. Anthony Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, said institutions mainly function independently rather than in collaboration.

“We’ve never made higher education a system,” Carnevale contended. “And we’ve come to the point in our history where it needs to be because the vast majority of the majority - two out of three, at least

- of Americans need higher education to get a good job.”

According to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, half of the bachelor’s degree graduates attended at least two schools before receiving their degrees.

In 2017, Oregon passed House Bill 2998, which led to the Oregon Transfer Compass development to streamline the transfer process.

But how many credits can be transferred still depends on the institution? Universities often limit the percentage of credits that can be applied toward a degree if they weren’t attained at that school.

The Scaling Partners Network’s call to action noted that students of color are more likely to transfer, so this issue disproportionately affects them.

Along with making credits more portable, Carnevale noted funding is necessary to address the racial gap in higher education.

with exclusive access to a spectacular array of 18th and 19th-century works imported directly from France, including original artwork, decorative accessories, glassware, flatware, lighting, furniture, mirrors and more dating back to the 1700s and 1800s.

Guests can also bring the Cal-a-Vie lifestyle home with them with a little retail therapy in the Cal-a-Vie Boutique, featuring signature Cal-aVie products and nutrition literature, as well as other fine beauty and wellness ranges. The boutique also includes hand-selected workout essentials, activewear, lounge-wear, footwear, jewelry, swimwear and gifts.

The Cal-a-Vie compound also features three spaces where guests can gather and mingle between classes and treatments. The Morning Room, drenched with natural sunlight, is the center for tea and “revitalizer” breaks. The Dining Room

offers indoor and outdoor communal dining yearround. The Evening Room is a cozy place where guests can gather for “mocktails” and mini-lectures on stress management, health, fitness, nutrition and more.

Thanks to a mild Southern California climate, meals at Cal-a-Vie may be enjoyed in various indoor and outdoor venues. The Cal-a-Vie Culinary Team embraces intuitive, mindful eating and encourages a reconnection with real food grown just steps from the kitchen. Each guest’s meals are tailored to their specific goals and daily caloric intake.

Executive Chef Curtis Cooke’s menu options highlight fresh, regional produce, selected at its seasonal peak, plus unprocessed whole grains, lean proteins and essential fatty acids.

The center for pampering is the mosaic-tiled Bath House comprised of massage rooms that open onto private decks for optional outdoor treatments; separate hydrotherapy and thalassotherapy rooms; wet and dry saunas; and a Jacuzzi.

Perched on a hilltop with panoramic vistas sit two of the oldest standing structures in San Diego County, a 17th-century L’Orangerie and candle-lit only Chapel purchased by the owners, imported from Dijon France and reconstructed stone by stone. These two historic retreats are open to guests to enjoy candle-lit yoga in the Chapel and twice-weekly cooking demonstrations in the L’Orangerie. They also

provide ideal venues for weddings, corporate retreats and special gatherings.

Walking along the pathway to the cottages, guests pass a rose garden filled with an enchanting variety of blooms at the southern end of the pool enclosure. This “International Friendship Garden” was created by Cal-a-Vie to honor loyal supporters and past guests by planting a rosebush in their name. The fence surrounding the pool is covered in a thicket of climbing roses, their sweet scent floating over guests reclining on poolside chaise lounges, enjoying the warm rays of the California sun.

Adjacent to the grounds is an 18-hole golf course, Vista Valley Country Club, owned by Cal-a-Vie’s proprietors, which gives guests access to private tee-times, team building activities, a driving range and games of 9 or 18 holes.

The five-to-one staff/ guest ratio makes the Cal-aVie experience one-of-a-kind.

Guests are given the utmost attention from the minute they arrive. Evaluations and questionnaires are analyzed by staff members to determine a guest’s fitness classes, therapeutic treatment, and nutrition throughout the week.

Guests and staff members work together to ensure that desired goals are met while at Cal-a-Vie. More importantly, guests leave rejuvenated and armed with the knowledge they need to continue on a course of more healthful living. Calm, cool, and collected, thanks to Cal-a-Vie. www.cal-a-vie. com Source: Pamela Price

Changes Could be Coming to Social Security

By Janice Gough Social Security is in crisis, and the road to recovery will likely be painful for millions of Americans. To better understand the problem and possible solutions, it helps to take a quick glance back at the program’s history.

Social Security was created in 1935 as a safety net for the elderly, unemployed and otherwise disadvantaged during the Great Depression.

Since then, the basic structure has stayed the same: Retirees draw benefits funded by the payroll taxes of employees.

Contrary to popular

opinion, Social Security is not self-funding; rather, the balance of the program’s surplus funds ebbs and flows based on two main factors: the number of workers paying into the system and the number of people drawing benefits.

Security’s reserves have benefited from the massive influx of baby boomers to the workforce. Today, however, as more boomers are retiring, reserves are falling. The effect of COVID-19 has only exacerbated this trend, as skyrocketing unemployment has translated into fewer workers paying into the system and more seniors choosing to claim benefits early. The University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School now warns that Social Security could run dry as early as 2032. In the absence of significant change, benefits will be cut to 79 percent of existing levels at that time.

The Fix Will Not Be Fun The formidable task of fixing Social Security lies with Congress, which can either raise taxes or cut benefits to manage the situation. Cutting benefits would be vastly unpopular for lawmakers.

Instead, Congress could raise the full retirement age (currently 66 for those born before 1955). This makes sense given that life expectancies have grown significantly since Social Security first began.

Congress could also reduce the cost of living adjustment (COLA), which is used to increase benefits annually to

keep pace with inflation.

On the tax side of the equation, Congress might elect to raise payroll taxes or expand the benefits subject to taxation. Currently, those earning more than $25k for single filers ($32k married filing jointly) pay ordinary income tax on their Social Security benefits. Congress could also decide to raise funds by increasing the net investment income tax. To date, nothing has been done to address the problem. The longer Congress waits to act, the more extreme the solution will need to be.

Assumptions about the future of Social Security often vary by age. A recent study reveals that 80 percent of millennials don’t expect to receive any Social Security benefits when they retire. Older clients, on the other hand, maybe in denial that their

benefits will change at all.

There could come a time when Social Security benefits might not increase with the cost of living. One of the things I stress with clients is that Social Security could become stagnant in the future, so we have to figure out ways to build inflation protection into their portfolios.

None of us has a crystal ball. We do not know what Congress will do in the future, but we see the system as it stands today is not sustainable.

Unless they can find a FIX, there is a threat to the program’s ultimate survival. A large percentage of America is dependent on Social Security in retirement; it would not be in the government’s interest to eliminate the program. Nevertheless, it is vital to view Social Security

Embrace Open Forum!

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL Many HOA boards treat open forum as something to be endured, but if handled properly it can be a very positive feature of HOA meetings.

The law requires that all membership meetings (when members are voting, not the board) and open board meetings must have an open forum time, per Civil Code Section 4925(b). This is valuable element of HOA meetings is an opportunity for neighbors to convey information or concerns to board or management of which they might not be aware. This is the part of the meeting in which the board demonstrates its regard for neighborly concerns. Wellrun HOA board meetings should include well-run open forum sessions, so here are some tips which may help.

Don’t Delay. Some boards prefer to schedule

open forum at the end of the meeting, but it is better to have open forum early in the meeting. That shows respect to the homeowners, many of whom would like to address the board about agenda items before they are discussed. At the end of the meeting, after the agenda business is concluded, it is too late for their comments on those items.

Time Limits. Have reasonable time limits – the law specifically allows it.

Three minutes is the most common standard but reduce the time limit to two minutes if at least ten people wish to speak so that everyone gets a chance without prolonging the meeting.

Speaker Limits. Per Civil Code 4925, members have the right to attend and speak at HOA meetings. Tenants, owner’s guests, or residents not on title are not members and so do not have the right to attend and speak to the board.

Have a limit of one speaker per membership and do not allow each co-owner to speak.

November 11, 2020

Listen, Don’t Argue.

Open forum is the one time in the meeting in which the neighbors speak and the board listens. Even if the homeowner appears to be incorrect or uninformed, do not steal their time by interrupting.

Remember, the board is going to want the audience to listen and not interrupt its deliberations, so it is fair that the directors listen during open forum and show their attentiveness by taking notes.

The time to respond or answer questions is after open forum is concluded. Civil Code Section 4930(b) allows a director to briefly respond to open forum statements, to answer questions, or to refer a subject to management, employee, or a committee for response.

Let The Forum Be Open.

Boards and managers often are tempted to tell an open forum speaker they are off topic, or “out of order.”

However, nothing in the law says that topics are limited, so even if the speaker wishes to talk about something outside the HOA, they can use their

It is essential to stay aware of the actions Congress will inevitably need to take and the impact of those actions on their portfolios. As Advisor, we can help our clients map a course through the changing complexities of Social Security.

Along with keeping your physical health protected, it is equally important to have a financial health plan.

three minutes how they wish.

No Minutes. Open forum is a time for comment and the purpose of minutes is to record actions, not comments. Don’t recite or summarize in the minutes what was said in open forum.

Written Meeting Rules.

Meeting rules are not required by law but are important to inform members (and directors) as to how meetings are run. Such rules should include open forum policies, so the attendees know how and when they will be able to speak.

By Desert Star Staff CHICAGO - Socialjustice groups are reminding Illinoisans about their rights when it comes to defending democracy.

Historic numbers of voters cast ballots in the 2020 presidential election and counts still are being finalized across the country. Activists in Illinois and other states are taking to the streets, calling for every vote counted.

As director of the American Friends Service Committee’s Chicago Peace Building Project, Mary Zerkel encouraged peaceful protest and offered advice.

“Stay with your buddies,” said Zerkel. “Don’t talk to the police and don’t engage any counter-protesters that might be nearby, even though that can be very tempting sometimes. And if you see violence happening and you can find a place to exit

the situation, that’s always a good thing to do.”

Zerkel said it’s also essential to respect other protesters’ rights by not photographing anyone without permission and not policing their behavior.

She explained there are four Ds to de-escalate potential conflict: distract, delegate, direct and delay.

Learn them online at afsc.org.

Zerkel noted it’s important to know your rights in case law-enforcement officers are in violation.

She said if you are stopped by police, ask if you are being detained, and if not, politely leave - and if you’re arrested, you do have the right to remain silent and request a lawyer.

“If you are being detained, you should ask, ‘Am I free to go?’” said Zerkel. “And then it’s important to only give your name, address and birth

Hold a light up for them in their darkness. Lighting their way. The Light of the Soul.

LIBRA Review all monetary situations—loans, bills, and tithes in order to carefully assess finances in the next three months. This is a good exercise. You’ll find life is generous. In turn, you are to be generous, too. Give (tithe) to those in need. Do this scientifically, a bit each month. Should financial differences occur, listen carefully, explain yourself and stand your ground by sharing. Then share more.

SCORPIO The tests for Scorpio center on self-identity. You will observe your many selves through the lens of who you used to be, who you thought and presently think you are, and who you really are, now and in the future.

This is complex but it’s not confusing. It’s clarifying, especially since the tests are focused in your daily life.

Watch your communication.

Always practice Ahimsa (doing no harm).

CAPRICORN Dear Capricorn, always moving upward and onward.

The tests, none of which deter you, will occur at home, with family, shifting your foundation. The tests, subtle and behind the scenes, will transform and reorient how you nurture yourself. The Nine Tests will ask what nourishes you and the family most?

U.S. Supreme Court Takes Up Future of Affordable Care Act

By Desert Star Staff FRANKFORT, Ky. -Tomorrow, the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in cases that could decide the Affordable Care Act’s fate.

Health coverage for more than

a half-million Kentuckians is at stake, as well as millions of dollars in rural hospital revenue.

More than a dozen states ask the court to repeal the 2010 law that overhauled the private health insurance market

and expanded Medicaid.

Dustin Pugel, a senior analyst at the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy, said that Kentucky’s uninsured rate was double digits before the ACA. But Medicaid

expansion opened coverage to hundreds of thousands - many for the first time.

“And they were able to get care for chronic conditions,” Pugel said.

“There was a lot of tobacco cessation counseling; there were cancer screenings.

People were able to get old injuries looked at for the first time. And a lot of research showed that it saved lives.”

ACA opponents believe the “individual mandate” - requiring people to have health insurance - is unconstitutional. They argue because a previous court struck down the mandate, the entire law should be repealed. The Supreme Court is expected to make its decision by next summer.

In addition to allowing coverage for people with preexisting conditions, Pugel said the ACA has had positive ripple effects on local economies. “[Between] 45,000 and

By Desert Star Staff A vaccine being developed

by Pfizer has been found to be more than 90 percent effective against Covid-19, the pharmaceutical company said.

The finding was the result of the first independent analysis of any Covid-19 vaccine in phase 3 trials, the final stage before commercial licensing.

The study found that 94 participants who received the two-dose vaccine were protected against the disease 28 days after their first inoculation.

The American firm developed the jab along with Germany’s BioNTech. The efficacy rate is significantly above the 50 percent effectiveness required by the US Food and Drug Administration for a coronavirus vaccine.

UPDATE: We are proud to announce, along with @ BioNTech_Group, that our mRNA-based #vaccine candidate has, at an interim analysis, demonstrated initial evidence of efficacy against #COVID19 in participants

without prior evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

— Pfizer Inc. (@pfizer) November 9, 2020 “Today is a great day for science and humanity. The first set of results from our Phase 3 Covid-19 vaccine trial provides the initial evidence of our vaccine’s ability to prevent Covid-19,” said Dr Albert Bourla, Pfizer Chairman and CEO. “We are reaching this critical milestone in our vaccine development program at a time when the world needs

it most with infection rates setting new records, hospitals nearing over-capacity and economies struggling to reopen,” Dr Bourla added.

The company said it will share additional efficacy and safety data in the coming weeks. It said it expects to produce up to 1.3 billion doses of the vaccine next year.

In the United States, Pfizer expects to seek broad emergency use authorization of the vaccine for people aged 16 to 85. To secure this

50,000 jobs could be lost just by pulling that $3 billion in federal dollars out of our economy - some of those in healthcare, but also in other industries, like finance and construction,” he said.

Pugel said eliminating the ACA would be especially problematic during the pandemic when many people are getting sick or may have coronavirus complications that require long-term care.

“Having less uncompensated care because a lot of your patients are covered by Medicaid, definitely helped keep their doors open, and you know, could be the tipping point in a hospital’s decision on whether or not to stay open,” he said.

A 2019 University of Kentucky study found the number of Kentuckians who received colon cancer screenings after Medicaid expansion jumped by 230%, compared to before the ACA.

it will need to have collected two months of safety data on around half of the study’s roughly 44,000 participants.

The company did not share precise detail on how many of those who fell ill received the vaccine.

Pfizer and BioNTech have a $1.95 billion contract with the US government to deliver 100 million vaccine doses beginning this year. The companies have also reached supply agreements with the European Union, the UK, Canada and Japan.

Florida Invests in Short-Term Workforce Programs

By Desert Star Staff Florida is hoping to stabilize the economy by enhancing the skills of its workforce through technical certification programs.

The “Get There Florida” campaign was launched to highlight the number of available short-term, high-value technical education programs at the states’ 28 colleges and 48 technical colleges.

Henry Mack is the chancellor for career, technical, and adult education at the Florida Department of Education. He said their immediate aim is to help those who’ve lost jobs during the pandemic.

“If we are going to again maintain our economic trajectory,” said Mack, “and if we are going to uplift all residents’ lives, we need to sort of promote the value of a public higher education in the way that this program does.”

The campaign highlights 17 career pathways offered

through technical certifications from energy to health science, hospitality and public safety.

Florida uses $35 million in federal CARES Act funds to help colleges create or expand their program. Mack said those receiving funds will have to submit a progress report to the state Department of Education in January.

With massive shifts in the workforce due to the pandemic, from working remotely to dealing with job loss, employment experts say everyone should take advantage of opportunities to learn something new or enhance their skills.

Jamie Merisotis is the president and CEO of the Lumina Foundation, which promotes access to education beyond high school.

“We need to develop those traits because it’s how we stay ahead of the machines,” said Merisotis. “And that means education and training are hugely important parts of this

Florida colleges and technical schools can access grants from CARES Act funds ranging from about $100,000 to $2 million to boost technical certification programs. (Pixabay) equation going forward.”

In fact, they’ve been covering up for the industry, along with other government agencies, for well more than a decade.”

In a separate case, a federal judge recently ruled that the City of Berkeley cannot require stores that sell mobile devices to post a safety notice.

The notice would have advised people that they may exceed federal guidelines for exposure when carrying the phone in pants or shirt pocket or tucked into a bra.

Meanwhile, Betts noted isolation for older Americans still is a significant concern right now.

She advised anyone with a loved one in a care facility to do all they can to safely engage with that person over the holidays.

New Study Finds Heavier Cell Phone Use Linked to Tumor Risk

By Desert Star Staff BERKELEY, Calif. - A review of scientific literature out this week found that using a cell phone for more than a thousand hours raises your risk of developing a

tumor by up to 60%.

Experts from Berkeley and Seoul, South Korea, reviewed 46 studies on cell phone radiation and concluded that pressing a cell phone to your ear for 17 minutes a day

for a decade is hazardous.

Joel Moskowitz, director of the Center for Family and Community Health at the University of CaliforniaBerkeley’s School of Public Health, said people

should never hold a cell phone to their head.

“People should protect themselves by not keeping the phone on their body or near their heads, particularly when making a call,” said Moskowitz.

“But also, whenever the phone is turned on, it shouldn’t be kept near the body. “ The study found that heavy cell use can increase the risk of several types of brain tumors. The Federal Communications Commission says its tests show that normal cell phone use is safe.

The FCC recently intervened in favor of the cell phone industry in two lawsuits.

One suit alleged that iPhones on the market emit more radiation than the legal limits - but a federal judge accepted the FCC’s tests, which showed the iPhones in compliance.

By Desert Star Staff DES MOINES, Iowa -- Iowa is seeing record hospitalizations from COVID-19.

And with the holiday season near, health officials advise against large gatherings to avoid more outbreaks.

Virtual connections are encouraged, and a nonprofit said planning can make for a better experience.

Nola Aigner Davis, public information officer for the Polk County Health Department, said pandemic fatigue is still resulting in people not following guidelines in social situations.

She advised they should

play it safe for those hoping to have friends and family over for Thanksgiving.

“We really want it to limit to you celebrating with your household members,” Davis stressed. “The more individuals we have coming together, and the more of those individuals are coming together from different parts of the state, other states; we have no idea where those individuals have been, and they have probably been in contact with someone who has COVID-19.”

She added that especially can put vulnerable attendees, including seniors,

at greater risk for infection.

The Centers for Disease Control has similar recommendations.

For loved ones outside your home, groups such as AARP urge planning virtual connections with a theme, such as baking or reminiscing about family traditions and stories, can be an excellent alternative, even if you are miles apart.

At the onset of the pandemic, ideas such as “virtual happy hours” caught on, but health experts say too many people saw them as no match for in-person festivities, resulting in more

massive crowds during the warmer months.

Julie Betts, associate state director for communications at AARP Iowa, said.

Simultaneously, the thought of a virtual connection may seem like a less than personal experience, it doesn’t have to be that way.

“You don’t have to be sitting at a desk with your screen or your camera in front of you and looking at a sort of Brady Bunch grid of everybody else’s faces,” Betts explained.

If possible, she suggested bringing mobile devices into kitchens at the same

Health advocates are calling for stronger limits on cell phone radiation. (d3damon/iStockphoto)

Outreach Limitations Impact Voting for Past Felons

By Desert Star Staff Before the November election, Iowans with past felony convictions were allowed to vote. However, only a small number registered, and advocates point to a short timeframe while hoping for more outreach in future elections.

Late this summer, Gov. Kim Reynolds signed an order that restored the voting rights of more than 30,000 people who had completed their sentences. Results are incomplete, but early data show only 3,300 registered.

State Representativeelect Christina Bohannan, D-Iowa City, was among those trying to raise awareness.

She said the timing was a factor because the order was signed in August.

But she also wondered if the Secretary of State and other agencies could have done a more targeted outreach.

“My sense is that there was just not a significant effort to really make people’s rights known,” said Bohannan.

“And that it came pretty late in the game to really try to do

something for this election.”

She said mailings sent out were not specific enough and might not have reached all those eligible because it’s possible their address wasn’t current.

However, the Secretary of State’s office said it did heavy media promotion while making numerous resources available - including a specific website for residents who fall under this category.

Michelle Heinz is executive director of the Johnson County group Inside Out Re-Entry Community, which serves those returning to society after incarceration.

She said most of the people they assist aren’t eligible because they’re still on parole. But she said when notifying those who did qualify, there was some confusion.

“Very few actually knew that they were eligible and understood the full eligibility if they were aware of it,” said Heinz. “So, there seemed to be kind of an information disconnect.”

Heinz added that most people who are eligible are no longer served by groups

Before an executive order signed by Gov. Kim Reynolds this summer, Iowa was the only state to prohibit those with past felony convictions from voting. (Adobe Stock) like hers and are focused on their daily lives. She suggested that’s where the state can step in by getting the message out in a broader way.

Bohannan added there couldn’t be assumptions that everyone who qualifies will go to the website. She said there are other ways to

establish a broader outreach.

“Working with the Department of Corrections to try to see whether we have any current contact information for folks,” said Bohannan.

She said that it could be beneficial in making more connections through the mail.

The corrections

department did not respond to a request for comment before the deadline.

Meanwhile, Bohannan said she is hopeful advocacy groups will have more time for coordinated outreach when municipal elections are held next year.

Officials Pushed to Reject Gas Pipeline in Black Communities

By Desert Star Staff Coming just days after Maryland committed to a regional wind-energy partnership, a group of environmental advocates urges Gov. Larry Hogan and the state’s Board of Public Works to reject an essential permit for a proposed gas pipeline project.

According to a new study, they say Maryland officials need to be aware that the Eastern Shore pipeline will run through mostly minority, disenfranchised communities from Delaware to Salisbury, Maryland.

Anthony Field, the Maryland campaign coordinator with the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, pointed out that it’s well-known that fracking poses serious health risks to nearby communities.

He said officials need to know Black and Brown’s residents continually sacrifice well-being for infrastructure projects such as pipelines and landfills that other communities can fight against.

“It is counter to Maryland’s climate commitments to continue building outgas,” said Field. “But to also kind of just brush aside the issue that this pipeline brings to the local community is an insult and an injustice to those communities. You know, this isn’t just a climate concern, but it’s a justice concern.”

Supporters of the pipeline www.desertstarweekly.com

say it will bring gas heat to an area, including the historically Black University of Maryland Eastern Shore, for the first time ever. The Board of Public Works is expected to announce its construction decision in wetlands at its November 18 meeting.

Field said the pipeline will impact 1,200 square feet of streams and more than 30,000 square feet of wetlands.

Just as important, the kind of drilling used to place pipes can impact residents by what’s known as involuntary blowback. That’s when sludge, mud and sediment back up into houses.

“There was a home in New Jersey that was nearby where horizontal directional drilling was being used to lay a pipeline,” said Field.

“And it actually caused a small tremor, cracking the foundation in the basement of the home and causing sludge and mud and floodwater to flood up to the first floor of the house. And the house was actually condemned.”

The pipeline is already under construction in Delaware by the Chesapeake Utilities Corporation. Maryland’s Department of the Environment recommended approval for the wetlands permit in October but still assesses the project’s impact on wetlands.

Advocates opposed to Maryland’s new gas pipeline project say that drilling can cause sludge, mud and sediment to back up into nearby houses. (Adobe Stock) Best Quality! Best Price! Guaranteed!

MUSIC

BY ROBERT KINSLER

A Fistful of Fine Finds

A parade of news releases including a multi-format celebration of the late blues hero John Lee Hooker as well as new studio albums from Michael Gurley, Suzzy Roche and Lucy Wainwright Roche, Evan Wardell and Bob Gentry are available now.

Artist: John Lee Hooker and the Coast To Coast Blues Band Title: John Lee Hooker Live at Montreux 1983 & 1990 (Eagle Rock Entertainment) You might like if you enjoy: John Lee Hooker, Otis Taylor Tell me more: The late John Lee Hooker was one of blues music’s most beloved and important voices. A new stellar collection celebrates the work of the Mississippi native with two significant appearances at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. “John Lee Hooker Live at Montreux 1983 & 1990” has just been issued as a 2-LP set, digital video & digital audio release. Hooker (who died in June 2001) was notable for his innovative style of breaking away from the 12-bar format and developing a hypnotic style of driving boogie blues where he used his hammering style on his fretboard and deep baritone vocals to sing powerfully of romance — be it lust, bliss or loss. The 1983 set features plenty of enticing moments, including the simmering opener “Serves Me Right To Suffer,” propulsive “Boom Boom” and the setending cut “Boogie Chillen,” the latter an extended jam where a number of musicians (including guitar great Luther Allison, harmonica master Sugar Blue and a killer three-man horn section) join Hooker and his own amazing band on stage.

The 1990 concert is just as impressive; for this outing an additional guitar player, sax player and female vocalist Vala Cupp provided even greater depth to the Coast To Coast Blues Band’s sonic arsenal.

Tracks performed included classics from his appearance six years earlier as well as the heartfelt soulful blues ballad “Mabel” and playful “I’m In The Mood” along with a couple of winning selections from his seminal 1989 Grammy® winning album return “The Healer” (“Baby Lee” and the inspired title track). Blues fans

will want to get this release for its historical significance, as well as the excellent audio and video quality of the title. Indeed, the two-concert showcase is the perfect addition — or introduction — to the artistry of the four-time Grammy® Award winner and Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award recipient.

Indeed, Suzzy Roche lost both her sister Maggie and mother in 2017, and that loss was reflected in a number of songs that she penned and planned to record with her daughter in spring 2020. The sessions with producer Jordan Brooke Hamlin had just started when the growing COVID-19 pandemic mandated the women return to their homes in New York for the lockdown. The duo were able to ultimately complete “I Can Still Hear You,” which is bound by the two artists’ beautiful voices and wonderful songs that tackle pain, love, evil, mortality and joy with candor and courageousness. The mix of originals, poignant covers and even a traditional Irish song (“Factory Girl”) are magnificent; Amy Ray and Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls lend their vocal and instrumental talents on several of the album tracks. Information: storysoundrecords.com. amazing; similarly the chamber pop gem “Madison Ellington” finds Gurley singing to the accompaniment of keyboards and a string section. Other standouts on this brilliant LP include the psychedelia-tinged “I Love Your Guitar,” hypnotic rocker “Everything All The Time,” ‘60s-mining “Tibetan Proverb” and beautiful guitaranchored ballad “Under The Moon.” Make sure to listen to this album with headphones everybody! Information: michaelgurleymusic.com.

Artist: Michael Gurley Title: Ultrasound (Smoke Street Records) You might like if you enjoy: dada, Jason Falkner, Blur’s “The Magic Whip,” the Beatles’ “Abbey Road” and “Magical Mystery Tour” Tell me more: As a member of the groundbreaking American rock trio dada, Michael Gurley’s gifts as a top-tier vocalist, songwriter and guitar virtuoso have been impressing audiences since the early ‘90s. Along the way, the talented SoCal artist has also showcased his wide-ranging music abilities in a number of other projects including modern rock outfit Butterfly Jones, the jazz standards ensemble Mike Gurley and the Nightcaps — and until recently — lead guitarist for country music great Kiefer Sutherland. Now Gurley has released a fulllength solo album “Ultrasound,” one of my favorite albums of 2020. As listenable as it is inventive, “Ultrasound” is filled with songs bolstered by soaring melody, dynamic choruses, nuanced lead vocals and Gurley’s incredible lead guitar work. The atmospheric “I Don’t Know Much” is an ambitious and spectacular opening, mixing folk and art rock styles along its alluring run. The stylish title track is a super cool rocker albeit with an exhilarating power pop-styled chorus that explodes amidst a sea of lush harmonies. The driving “Yes Yes Yes” boasts a dazzling British blues rock vibe complete with a searing guitar solo backed by the strong rhythm section of bassist Sean Hurley and drummer Victor Indrizzo. Turning on a dime, the gentle Baroque folk offering “Good Morning Girl” is enhanced by Gurley’s subtle work on guitar as well as piano, organ, Mellotron and Wurzlitzer.

Artist: Bob Gentry Title: Back On The Horse (Blue Élan Records) You might like if you enjoy: Andrew McMahon, America, Toad the Wet Sprocket Tell me more: After a 10year hiatus from the music industry, Palm Springs-based singer-songwriter Bob Gentry is back with the aptly-titled “Back On The Horse.” A number of fateful decisions led to the artist’s exit from his path as a recording artist, but his new EP makes a clear and compelling case his original music has a welcome place in the here and now. The breezy “20 Years To Life,” lovely “My Mistake” (featuring guest Roan Yellowthorn), probing pianoanchored jewel “Now That You’re Gone” and affecting tale of loss “Living With Your Ghost” are among the solid originals on the new set.

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.

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. DATE: 10/16/2020 Parker Foreclosure Services, LLC PO Box 2940 Ventura, CA 93002-2940 (714) 573-1965 Hermond L.

FAMILY FEATURES

aking time to reconnect with loved ones is a wish topping many lists this holiday season, so set aside the chaos and commit to doing more this year. More of what you truly enjoy, that is.

These time-saving holiday hacks from the Chinet® brand can help curb your time commitments so you can focus on personal connections and celebrating good cheer with loved ones instead.

Spread out prep time. If you’re busy putting the final touches on a meal as guests begin to arrive, you’ll miss out on the excitement as the party begins. Rely on tricks to spread your meal preparation out over the days before your event, such as making sides and casseroles ahead of time and freezing them so all you have to do on the big day is pop them in the oven. Mashed potatoes are a notorious last-minute time suck, so make them early in the day and keep them warm in a slow cooker. Just add a bit of cream and stir periodically to keep them soft and fluffy.

Simplify cleanup. After enjoying a meal surrounded by loved ones, there’s no reason to halt the conversation while you slip away to bring order back to the kitchen.

Cover dishes and put perishables away then return to your guests for the quality time you deserve. If you use disposable tableware, there’s even less to worry about later. For example, Chinet Classic White products make cleanup easy so you can spend more time with friends, family and guests. The plates and bowls are strong enough to serve the heaviest, messiest meals with style then you can simply toss them when you’re done.

Shop local for shortcuts. Local businesses are feeling the crunch of 2020 in a big way, but you can give them a boost while doing yourself a time-saving favor. Pick up a pie or specialty dessert from a local bakery. Inquire about family-size sides from the family restaurants in your community. Also remember to check with school-age children you know, as many seasonal fundraisers offer pre-made holiday desserts and other treats you can share with guests with minimal effort.

Get out of the house. If you’ve spent too much time this year looking at your own surroundings, getting away from it all may lift your spirits while saving the hours you’d pour into getting your home ready for entertaining.

Community groups with their own facilities often have space available to rent, and these spaces are typically large enough to maintain social distancing requirements and are subject to rigorous cleaning protocols. Alternately, if you’re keeping the guest list small, renting a vacation home offers the opportunity to turn the seasonal celebration into a short road trip for added memories and joy.

With some simple decorations, you can create a fun atmosphere for your holiday event and skip the headaches of hosting at home.

Go short and sweet. If the idea of a full-fledged dinner event is stretching you too thin, look for festive ways to scale back. For example, a dessert-only party lets you gather with loved ones and keep the focus on the company rather than the food. Plan themed stations with different styles of desserts and consider asking family members to help stock each station with their own favorite treats. Add a touch of style by placing a stack of Chinet Cut Crystal dessert plates at each station so guests can sample all their favorites while they mingle. The collection also includes cups and stemless wine glasses ideal for a beverage table or single servings of desserts like mousse or parfaits.

Find more ways to manage your time this holiday season at MyChinet.com.

Celebrate Like It’s 2020 After a whirlwind of a year, this holiday season promises to be a little different than those of years past.

Instead of lamenting what won’t be the same, treat this year as an opportunity to deck the halls in a whole new way.

Invite technology to the party. With group gatherings and travel restrictions likely to continue in many parts of the country through the holiday season, there’s a good chance you may not be able to gather with everyone you’d like. However, the pandemic has shown how simple it can be to use technology to stay connected. Go ahead and schedule a virtual party or make time to jump on a video chat during your celebration to include those who can’t be there in person. To help add a touch of normalcy to the festivities, consider packaging and sending small boxes of party essentials in advance to each person who’ll join the virtual party.

Make giving a group effort. Helping those in need is a tradition many people honor around the holidays, but this year your giving is likely to be especially impactful. When you join efforts with family or friends, your contributions can go even further, and it’s a way to bond over your shared experience. Consider volunteering as a group at a food pantry, adopting a family or two together or finding another local cause that could use some extra help and count your blessings while you enjoy the extra time together.

Simplify gift-giving. As families grow, the gift lists get longer. However, especially in a year like this, not many wallets have expanded to keep up with the pace. Forgo the time and money required to buy for everyone in the family and start a new tradition by drawing names and instead of buying smaller items for a lot of people, put a little more toward a single item your recipient truly wants or needs.
