SunUp Rotary Foundation’s Shoes That Fit Program Helps Kids Get Well-Heeled for Holidays

By Larry Jameson PALM SPRINGS – Whether at school or at play, thousands of children in the Coachella Valley are wearing shoes that fit this fall — thanks to the generosity of the local Indian tribe, Payless Shoes and the efforts of a nonprofit. The Palm Springs SunUp Rotary Foundation is helping local families in need with a program called Shoes That Fit. The program, anticipating backto-school costs of households,

donated 2,000 Payless Shoes gift cards in August alone. Each gift card was for $15-$25 and included a 20 percent discount voucher from Payless Shoes — providing approximately $50,000 in support in 2013. “The program was a huge success helping families get ready for the school year,” said Kristin Bloomer, president of Palm Springs Sunup Rotary. Shoes That Fit has helped families in Palm Springs Unified

School District, Boys and Girls Club of Palm Springs, Boys and Girls Club of Cathedral City, Boys and Girls Club of Desert Hot Springs and Bridges of Hope in Cathedral City. Since the program’s inception in 2002, The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians has been the largest supporter of Shoes That Fit — donating over $100,000 since its launch. “The support of the tribe has been absolutely key to being able to help so many

families,” Bloomer said. Palm Springs SunUp Rotary also supports education through their annual Chalk Art Festival, with proceeds from that event supporting Palm Springs Unified School District arts programs. The group’s Fourth Annual Chalk Art Festival will be held in March 2014. The Rotary invites residents and businesspeople to join in their efforts to make an impact both locally and globally. To

DESERT HOT SPRINGS – The Desert Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce and the staff of the town’s iconic Two Bunch Palms Resort and Spa held a mixer and ribbon-cutting last Thursday evening, Nov. 14. The resort’s new management has been working to update and refresh the property while maintaining the precious, unique qualities of a site that has drawn visitors and celebrities for over 600 years. The resort’s restaurant, Essense (shown here) has been enlarged to maximize the mountain views and offer a farmto-table menu that is both gourmet and healthier. An earth mound-designed Yoga Dome has been completed and opened to provide daily movement classes, and the meditative hot springs grotto has been resurfaced to reinforce it structurally. A fitness room has also been added and the landscaping improved to provide various places to relax, meditate or enjoy a hammock with a book. Among those participating in the ribboncutting at Essense were DHS Mayor Yvonne Parks; DHS Council Members Russell Betts, Scott Mattas, Jan Pye and (newly elected mayor) Adam Sanchez; Two Bunch Palms Owner /CEO Kevin Kelly, Two Bunch Palms General Manager John Trudeau and DHS Chamber of Commerce President / CEO Heather Coladonato.

PALM SPRINGS – Just Fabulous Book Store held a book signing with popular author Jackie Collins last Saturday, Nov. 16. She greeted her fans and autographed her book “The Power Trip” at the event. Collins noted to the surprise of many that she still writes her books in long hand, describing it as a “lost art.” (No wonder she can sign so many books without getting writer’s cramp!) She has penned 29 books thus far, and all have made The New York Times Bestseller List. Collins, the sister of actor Joan Collins, has sold over 500 million copies of her books worldwide and she is ranked the UK’s fifth richest author. Collins has also written screenplays and produced TV shows and movies. She is shown here seated with Just Fabulous coowner Stephen Monkarsh and Grace Robbins, ex-wife of the late novelist and Palm Springs resident Harold Robbins. (Photo by Pat Krause)

PALM DESERT – An afternoon of entertainment and honors was presented by Desert Samaritans on Sunday, Nov. 17, at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Spa.

Stimulus Battle Shaping Up in EU

By Kevin Powell In an interview with The Wall Street Journal last week, governing European Central Bank (ECB) council member Peter Praet made it clear that ECB was looking at a Fed-style quantitative easing program to put an end to inflation in southern Europe. Ken Wattret BNP Paribas saw this as very positive for the entire European Union (EU). BNP Paribas is the fourth-largest bank in the world and larger than any U.S. bank. Wattret pointed out this was a radical change of position for ECB. Wattret saw the old policies of worrying about inflation and

ignoring growth opportunities as holding back EU economies. The plunge in inflation in October was the proof source he cited. Of course, any moves toward more stimuli will anger Germany because it is the strongest EU economy. Lower rates weaken German savings. Germany isn’t necessarily pleased that an Italian-controlled central bank is dictating policy. Even though a fight is brewing, it should be expected that Germany will allow the additional stimulus to occur. Currency will likely play a much larger role in the future as the dovish Fed policies we currently have in the U.S. are driving down the value of the U.S. dollar. The Euro is likely to decline in value with lower interest rates in place. China is trying to keep its currency devalued to offset the strong growth it saw from 2005-10. Recent estimates put Chinese debt close to 50 percent of its gross domestic product. This is much higher than was ever expected and could cause China to keep the Yuan weak to spur growth. With a weak Euro, U.S. dollar

and Yuan, it will be interesting to see where traders turn. European stock markets have surged since the summer, gaining most all of their 20 percent year-to-date gains since that time. That would put European stocks as one of the top performers over the past five

traded fund. European returns could outpace the U.S., since our bull market has been running for more than four years. Kevin Powell has been a financial advisor for 28 years and can be reached at kpplanner1@ aol.com.

By Larry Jameson PALM SPRINGS – The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians is pleased to announce that it has reopened Indian Canyons as of this past Monday, Nov. 18. The tribe closed the popular hiking areas, which encompass Palm Canyon, Andreas Canyon and Murray Canyon, in early September after flash floods tore through the landscape. Fastmoving water from the heavy rains carried trees, boulders and mud down the mountain — damaging trails, roads and access to portions of the sprawling natural location. “Repairs to our roads and trails are nearly complete,” said Tribal Chairman Jeff L. Grubbe. “We are pleased to be able to reopen this beautiful area to the public before the holidays.” Crews from various agencies have been involved with the tribe in repairing the damaged areas. The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians has expressed special appreciation to the following agencies who have generously assisted with the flood damage response: Ramona Redhawks Fire Crew, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Burn Area Emergency Response Team and Cal-Fire Oak Glen. Indian Canyons, covering an approximate 56-square mile expanse that includes more than 60 miles of trails, annually

attracts more than 125,000 visitors who enjoy the scenic paths, plants, wildlife and cultural sites. Palm Canyon is considered the world’s largest oasis of California Fan Palms. The canyons were also closed temporarily in July, when more than 6,000 acres burned on the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians reservation during the Mountain Fire. T h e w o r l d - re n o w n e d Indian Canyons are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are the ancestral home of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. For more info on Indian Canyons, visit indian-canyons. com/palm.html. The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians is a federally recognized Indian Tribe located in Palm Springs, with 32,000 acres of reservation lands that spread across Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, and into the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains. The tribe currently owns and operates two 18-hole championship golf courses, the Spa Resort Casino and Hotel in downtown Palm Springs and the Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa in Rancho Mirage.

STARS LinE Up foR AWARdS Continued from Page 1 artistry,” said PSIFF Chairman Harold Matzner. “In her latest and arguably most demanding role as first-time astronaut Dr. Ryan Stone in ‘Gravity,’ she faces the primal nightmare of being stranded in space with no apparent way of returning. Throughout the entire film, her determination to survive is masterfully portrayed.” Past recipients of the Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actress, include Halle Berry, Marion Cotillard, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Naomi

Watts and Michelle Williams. Matzner had similar high praise for McConaughey. “Matthew is the rare actor who effortlessly moves between cinematic genres — an extraordinary and versatile talent,” he said. “From drama to thrillers to romantic comedies, he captivates audiences with the depth and range of his performances. In the acclaimed new movie ‘Dallas Buyers Club,’ he plays real-life cowboy Ron Woodroof, who was diagnosed with HIV in 1985 and given a month to live — but fought for

dignity, acceptance and living life to the fullest.” Past recipients of the Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor, include Jeff Bridges, Bradley Cooper, Daniel Day-Lewis, Colin Firth, Jake Gyllenhaal, Sean Penn and Brad Pitt. Joining Bullock and McConaughey as special PSIFF honorees will be veteran actor Bruce Dern, who will receive the Career Achievement Award. “Bruce is truly a one of a kind performer who continues to challenge and delight audiences with each performance,” said Matzner. “His skill at capturing the essence of a character, no matter how complex or unorthodox, is unique and unparalleled. In over 80 feature films, this talent is vividly reflected in such classic roles as the deranged pilot plotting a mass attack in ‘Bloody Sunday’ and the scarred Vietnam vet who returns home to find his wife embroiled in an affair with another man in ‘Coming Home.’ “In his latest cinematic endeavor ‘Nebraska,’ Bruce brings his consummate acting gifts to the role of an inscrutable elderly father who, with his son, journeys to claim a million-dollar prize while ultimately coming face to face with his past.” Matzner pointed out that Dern took the Best Actor prize at the Cannes Film Festival for his “Nebraska” role. Past Career Achievement Award honorees include Glenn Close, Robert Duvall, Clint Eastwood, Sally

Does Drinking Tea Prevent Cancer?

By Art Kunkin (Mr. Life Extension) This column is based on an Internet fact sheet about tea prepared by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). I accessed this information for the benefit of Desert Star Weekly’s readers. Among the key points I learned is that tea contains certain chemical compounds called antioxidants (polyphenols) “whose biological activities may be relevant to cancer prevention…. Few clinical trials of tea consumption and cancer prevention have been conducted and their results have been inconclusive….”

The fact sheet continues: “Inconsistencies in study findings regarding tea and cancer risk may be due to variability in tea preparation, tea consumption, the bio-availability of tea compounds (the amounts that can be absorbed by the body), lifestyle differences and individual genetic differences….” Some key tea statistics from NCI, offered here mostly verbatim from its publicly available document: Defining Tea: Tea is one of the most ancient and popular beverages consumed around the world. Black tea

accounts for about 75 percent of the world’s tea consumption in the U.S., United Kingdom and Europe, while green tea is the most popular tea in Japan and China. Oolong and white tea are consumed in much lesser amounts. Shortly after harvesting, chemicals in tea leaves are broken down by enzymes, resulting in darkening of the leaves and the well-recognized aroma of tea. The amount of oxidation determines a tea’s type. Black tea is produced when tea leaves are wilted, bruised, rolled and fully oxidized. In contrast, green tea is made from unwilted leaves that are not oxidized. Oolong tea is made from wilted, bruised and partially oxidized leaves — creating an intermediate kind of tea. White tea is made from young leaves or growth buds that have undergone minimal oxidation. Tea is brewed from dried leaves and buds (either in tea bags or loose), prepared from dry instant tea mixes, or sold as ready-to-drink iced teas. Socalled herbal teas are not really teas but boiled water infused with dried fruits, herbs and/or flowers. Tea as a Cancer Fighter: Chemicals found in tea (polyphenols) have been shown to inhibit tumor cell proliferation. The precise mechanism by which tea might help prevent cancer has not been established. Tea has long been regarded as an aid to good health and many believe it can help reduce the risk of cancer. Most studies of tea and cancer prevention have focused on green tea. More than 50 epidemiologic studies of the association between tea consumption and cancer risk have been published

since 2006. The results of these studies have often been inconsistent but some have linked tea consumption to reduced risks of cancers of the colon, breast, ovary, prostate and lung. Safety Considerations: Tea as a food item is generally recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In a Japanese study, children aged six to 16 years consumed a green tea beverage for 24 weeks with no adverse effects. As with other caffeinated beverages, such as coffee and colas, the caffeine contained in many tea products could potentially cause adverse effects. However, there is little evidence of health risks for adults consuming moderate amounts of caffeine (about 300 to 400 mg per day). NCI is a research institution. It develops evidence-based research results for others to interpret. In general, therefore, NCI does not make recommendations about specific medical or dietary interventions. M o re o v e r, a s n o t e d above, the evidence regarding the potential benefits of tea consumption in relation to cancer is inconclusive at present.

Astronaut Lands at PS Air Museum Story and Photos by Pat Krause PALM SPRINGS – Desert Arc and The International Opera Institute held a unique fundraiser at the Palm Springs Air Museum last Saturday, Nov. 16. The outof-this-world happening brought Apollo 14 Astronaut Ed Mitchell — one of only six surviving astronauts from NASA’s Mercury 7 program — to the Coachella Valley. Mitchell was interviewed onstage by author Dr. Jim Hanson. Hanson asked the former spaceman several questions about his time in orbit. Mitchell’s

fascinating answers left the audience, especially the teachers in the audience, wanting more. Guests were treated to a buffet dinner and a meet-andgreet with Mitchell, who was very gracious and even posed for photos with fans beside his astronaut statue (shown at right). Two highlights of the event were musical ones, including “Apollo 14 Space Opera,” with singers led by composer David Meckeler, and a closing rendition of “God Bless the U.S.A.” performed by Michael D’Angelo and an ensemble.

Theatre 29 Stages â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Christmas Carolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By Frieda Noone TWENTYNINE PALMS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The holiday classic ghost story by Charles Dickens â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Christmas Carolâ&#x20AC;? is running weekends through Dec. 14 at Theatre 29. A fair of amount of overlapping holiday drama preceded this ambitious staging. Director Rob Wanless said the timing of the rehearsal cycle of the show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with the popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;Halloween Hauntâ&#x20AC;? running

concurrently â&#x20AC;&#x201D; presented a special, and rather convoluted, challenge for his production company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some good and bad effects of being in rehearsal while a full third of our actors where in the Haunt,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Actors and other production staff at rehearsal had to fill in for those not there. For example, Seth Eskelund, who plays â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Young Scrooge,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; who

Scrooge (Kurt Schauppner) faces the ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley (Herman Platzke) in the Theatre 29 production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Christmas Carol.â&#x20AC;? (Photo by John Wright)

works for Fezziwig and falls in love with Belle (played by Lizzie Schmelling)â&#x20AC;Ś Lizzie was in the Haunt, so during rehearsals, we had Sethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom play Belle, then Adam Redmon, then Emily Sheckler.â&#x20AC;? Wanless chuckled and added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Schmelling said she could show up for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Christmas Carolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rehearsal to play Belle in her Zombie make up from the Haunt, but we told her that would just result in more Facebook moments than rehearsal!â&#x20AC;? The veteran director said there were other light moments, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the Fezziwig scene, the music is from the 1700s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Voices of Spring,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Johann Strauss. But we had a hard time with the download, so for two weeks, the music we used was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Take on Meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Aha.â&#x20AC;? Wanless is very proud of his cast â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both Theatre 29 veterans and the new faces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love this adaptation of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Christmas Carol,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The characters are believable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even the ghosts. There is an intrinsic humor in the flaws that we see in Ebenezer Scrooge, and the ghosts point out these flaws. We find ourselves hoping for some good to come to the families affected by Scroogeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greed, knowing that with a stroke of a pen, he could either save or squash someone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The actors assembled for this production bring these

(Photo by John Wright Photo) characters to life and will make you laugh. They will make you shed a tear, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make you have hope for strangers. By the end, these actors will make you grateful for redemption.â&#x20AC;? Theatre 29, a non-profit, allvolunteer community theater, is located at 73637 Sullivan Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Christmas Carolâ&#x20AC;? is being performed Friday and Saturday

nights at 7 p.m., with Sunday matinees Nov. 24 and Dec. 8 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 for general admission, $10 for seniors and military, and $8 for students with ID and children under 12. The play is suitable for all age groups. Tickets can be reserved at theatre29.org or by calling the Theatre 29 box office at 760-361-4151.

High School Gets Gale(n)-Force Windfall

Local Philanthropist’s $1.5 Million Gift Opens Artistic Doors By Pamela Price RANCHO MIRAGE – Creating the ultimate opportunity for cultivating the performing arts through a generous gift of $1.5 million, Helene Galen has opened doors for high school students with an interest in the theatrical arts. On Nov. 15, at the dedication of the Helene Galen Performing Arts Center and the Helene Galen Theatre at the new Rancho Mirage High School city officials, friends and family honored the Galen Family Foundation for its generous gift while applauding the opportunities it provides for the student body. Sen. Barbara Boxer, the featured speaker, praised Helene Galen, as did Shari Stewart, president of the Palm Springs Unified Board of Education. The opening comments were followed by the presentation of a proclamation from Brian Nestande and V. Manuel Perez, California State Assemblymen. Riverside County Supervisor John Benoit offered his appreciation along with Rancho

Mirage Mayor Richard Kite. All agreed that Galen’s philanthropic commitment to the Coachella Valley was an inspiration. “If you get you should give,” said Galen in closing remarks. The guest of honor emigrated to the U.S. from England in 1956 and has resided in Rancho Mirage since 1975. A screening of “The Arts in Public Schools,” an entertaining homage to Galen produced by Trick Dog Films, charmed the audience with in inclusion of remarks by several of the subject’s friends — who were seated in the front row: Kaye Ballard, Carol Channing and David Zippel. Other local celebrities joining in the onscreen chorus of Galen kudos were Susan Anton, Michael Childers, Norm Crosby, Jack Jones, Laurence Luckinbill, Lorna Luft, Barry Manilow, Peter Marshall and Suzanne Somers. They reminisced about their own topsy-turvy high school days, emphasizing the importance of the performing arts as a refuge, a creative outlet and a character-

By Frieda Noone LA QUINTA – Village Park Animal Hospital, owned and operated in Old Town La Quinta by Dr. Kathryn Carlson since 1998, recently debuted its new 8,700 square-foot animal hospital and care facility on Eisenhower Drive, next to the La Quinta Community Park. The grand opening celebration is this Saturday, Nov. 23, from 5-8 p.m. The public is invited for facility tours, canine physical therapy demonstrations (including the Underwater Treadmill), educational vendors and refreshments.

The Village Park Animal Hospital is unique in the Coachella Valley. Dr. Carlson provides complete health care for small animals, including cats, dogs, pocket pets and even pigs. She offers wellness visits, vaccinations, nutrition counseling and surgical care ranging from spaying / neutering to dental. “I am very excited to have a top-notch facility to match our top-notch care,” said Dr. Carlson. “And I’m thrilled to have all of our business offerings in one place, where I feel we will have the opportunity to improve our client / patient care. I want our

New Old Town Animal Care Facility Opens clients, our precious patients and our staff to be able to enjoy this new space, and to be able to participate in future continuing education and other fun events. This is a dream come true for me, and I am both excited and honored to share it with my wonderful clients and staff.” The boarding space has six suites all equipped with Direct TV for the dogs’ viewing pleasure, dog runs, and an upgraded kitty condo, plus a “mountain patio” for which the facility’s four-legged guests can enjoy the views. The entire practice and staff — from the front desk to the vet

techs — works both professionally and from the heart. This comes directly from Dr. Carlson, who has built her practice from the beginning with tender loving care and compassion to all patients and their owners. Dr. Carlson’s practice has grown to four female veterinarians. They offer physical therapy and rehabilitation (for postsurgical care, arthritis treatment and even weight loss), as well

as grooming and a full retail shop with a wide selection of products and competitive pricing. The facility remains the only local physical rehabilitation center for animals, and it even has a certified pet massage therapist on staff.

Mariah Hanson to Receive Top Athena Award ‘Dinah’ Founder-Producer Joins Others Up for Honors Dec. 5 By Frieda Noone PALM SPRINGS – In recognition of her tremendous contributions to the community, event producer Mariah Hanson will be honored with the prestigious 2013 Athena Leadership Award by Mayor Steve Pougnet, the City of Palm Springs and the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce Athena Committee. The 27th Annual Athena Awards, presented by the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce and hosted by Mayor Steve Pougnet and CBS Local 2’s Brooke Beare, is one of the most anticipated events of the Coachella Valley high season. The awards will be presented at a luncheon on Thursday, Dec. 5, at the Renaissance Palm Springs. Hanson’s visionary leadership as the founder of one of the city’s largest tourism boosters, the world- famous and hugely successful Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend — also known as “The Dinah” — makes her the perfect choice for the award. Hanson’s extraordinary accomplishment with The Dinah has, for the past 24 years, not

only continuously promoted Palm Springs as a “must” destination but has created a viable platform for the advancement of the LGBT community. The most popular lesbian event in the world, The Dinah attracts thousands of women from all walks and allows them to enjoy the freedom to be who they truly are. With The Dinah, Hanson provides a haven where acceptance and tolerance — in its deepest values — rule. Other 2013 honorees joining Mariah Hanson at the Athena Awards luncheon will be Helene Galen (see related story, page 7), who is to be given the Community Icon Award, and showbiz legend Carol Channing, who is to receive the Jackie Lee Houston Angel Award. “Helene Galen, Carol Channing and Mariah Hanson truly exemplify the highest level of achievement when it comes to excellence in community leadership, and all three of these amazing ladies serve as tremendous role models for future generations of women leaders,” said Mayor Steve Pougnet. “I want

to thank them for their outstanding contributions to Palm Springs, and I encourage everyone in the Coachella Valley to join the Palm Springs Chamber as we celebrate these remarkable women.” Inspired by the goddess of Greek mythology known for her strength, courage, wisdom and enlightenment, the Athena Leadership Award is presented to exemplary community leaders who are honored for professional excellence, community service and for actively assisting women in their attainment of professional excellence and leadership skills. Presented annually by chambers of commerce around the nation, the Athena Awards are a distinguished honor that pays tribute to women who demonstrate excellence and creativity in their business or in the community at large. In addition, the awards actively assist women in realizing their full leadership potential, according to Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce CEO Nona Watson — who concurred with Pougnet that this year’s honorees are “truly spectacular women

Hemsworth a Sight for ‘Thor’ Eyes in Fantasy

Chris Hemsworth swings a superheroic hammer in “Thor: The Dark World.” (Courtesy of Marvel Studios) By Theda Kleinhans Reichman “Thor: The Dark World” brings the Mighty Avenger, Thor (Chris Hemsworth), back to theaters. The character first leapt from Marvel’s comic book pages to the silver screen two years ago in “Thor,” and in 2012, he joined forces with other Marvel superheroes like Iron Man, the Incredible Green Hulk and Captain America in “Marvel’s The Avengers.” Their combined mission — to save the universe from chaos. Now Thor returns in the second installment of his own personal saga, “Thor: The Dark World.” This time the incredible blonde hunk must

film save the universe from Malekith (Christopher Eccleston), the vengeful leader of an ancient race determined to plunge Earth and all the Nine Realms into darkness. At one point in time, Thor’s father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and the warriors of Asgard defeated Malekith. They stripped him of his powers and placed him in a Limbo-like state where he could do no harm. Unfortunately Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who we met in the first Thor movie, inadvertently discovers a

cosmic wormhole that releases Malekith and his evil army of darkness back into the universe. Uh-oh. For Thor fans, and comic book enthusiasts in general, there are plenty of battles as Thor wields his mighty hammer. For older viewers there may be one too many battles, but the younger crowd will be thrilled as heads roll and Asgard is once again invaded by Malekith’s dark forces. While Thor, as always, looks buffed and sexy, it is his rotten younger brother Loki, played to snaky perfection by Tom Hiddleston, who steals the movie. He is a fellow that only a mother November 20, 2013

Will Odin get over his overwhelming distrust of his son who has gone over to the dark side? These are all questions raised in this cosmic battle-filled adventure. Jaimie Alexander, as Sif, a fierce woman warrior would make a great mate for Thor since both can hold their own in the epic, large-scale battle scenes, but it is earthling Natalie Portman who seems to have captured Thor’s heart. The ending is a real cliffhanger. I won’t say, but I am sure the conclusion’s true meaning and scope will be revealed in the third installment (Rene Russo as Frigga) could of Thor — coming inevitably love — even while his father, to a theater near you.

COD Conjures Up ‘Phantasmagoria’ reach people on a subconscious level. Peggy Vermeer has been an active member of the Coachella Valley art scene for over 40 years. She worked for the Palm Springs Desert Museum (now the Palm Springs Art Museum) for 28 years as the Art Education Specialist, and assisted in the formation of the docent program. She is a mixed media artist who creates paintings, prints, collages and assemblage sculptures, and has exhibited at the Palm Springs Art Museum and Coachella Valley History Museum. California resident and artist Brian Wilson is fascinated with the physical landscape and the human condition. As a

child, he began drawing maps, landscapes and architectural renderings; as an adult, his works have recently morphed into mostly acrylic based, mixed media paintings and textures. Wilson’s works have been shown in several solo shows at Espresso Cielo in Palm Springs, as well as in group shows at the Red Arrow Gallery in Joshua Tree. The Marks Art Center at COD, located at 43-500 Monterey Ave., is always free and open to the public MondayThursday and the first Sunday of the month, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and by appointment.

“Am I The Man Who Suddenly Explodes,” by Lee Balan. Mixed assemblage, 2011. By Larry Jameson PALM DESERT – The Walter N. Marks Center for the Arts at College of the Desert (COD) presents the paintings and mixed media artworks of five artists whose haunting imagery straddles a thin line between abstract and surreal in Phantasmagoria, on exhibition running through Dec. 12. “Phantasmagoria” as an art form has its roots in late18th century theater, in which a modified lantern was used to project frightening figures, shadows and reflections onto a surface. The exhibition title, Phantasmagoria, refers to deceptive images and illusions. These surreal and dreamlike images began in the minds of the artists and are completed by the imagination of the viewer. This compilation of collage, assemblage and paintings by

artists Lee Balan, Shaktima Brien, Shahram Farshadfar, Peggy Vermeer and Brian Wilson wavers between abstract and surreal. Familiar objects and imagery appear from a fog of color, brushwork, light and sometimes chaos. It is up to the viewer to decipher what is really portrayed and what is surfacing from their own subconscious. The artists come from varied backgrounds and styles. Shaktima Brien has been published multiple times as an artist and author. This year alone, she released three art books featuring her paintings. She wrote a novel which she adapted into an award-winning screenplay based on the idea of the “Goddess Journey” — a theme that can also be found in her artwork. Brien has exhibited at the Palm Springs Art Museum and the UCLA Fowler Museum.

Lee Balan has been working and exhibiting as a fine artist for 30 years and is also a poet, published author and performance artist with a deeper understanding of how the creative mind works. He earned a B.A. in Art and Sociology and also a Graduate Certificate in Counseling. Balan describes himself as an experimental artist who uses mixed-media to create sensory experiences. He has exhibited The Palm Springs Art Museum, M-modern Gallery and the L.A. Center for Digital Art. Iranian born Shahram Farshadfar studied art in New York before moving to Los Angeles to study Comparative Religion. After working in the fashion industry and being introduced to hypnotherapy, Farshadfar moved to Palm Springs, where he continues to pursue creative outlets and still

Add flavor to your Thanksgiving presentation with creative designer touches.

Setting a Thanksgiving to Remember

By Frieda Noone Want to be the host with the most this holiday season? Holiday entertaining can be particularly tricky, as everything has to be just right. But you don’t have to let it stress you out, say experts. “From setting the table to creating a scrumptious dessert station, you can better impress your guests if you are prepared,” says Jessica Joyce, a spokeswoman for Bed Bath & Beyond. As you make your plans, consider these helpful tips from Joyce for putting together the perfect holiday meal and creating an inviting atmosphere all season long… Remove the Guesswork: The key to reducing stress around holiday entertaining is to plan. Start putting together a guest list and menu ahead of time. Determine the hors d’oeurves, drinks, main course, side dishes, coffee bar and desserts. Turkey Talk: Once the menu is selected, make sure you have the right kitchenware to prepare the meal — especially the turkey. Turkey essentials include a roasting pan, meat thermometer and gravy separator. Keep in mind that every turkey is different, so your roaster should be able to handle even a 25-pound holiday bird. Your serving plate will need to be large enough to accommodate your turkey, and there should be enough additional room on the plate to surround it with garnish. Mix and Match Dinnerware: When it comes to serving guests, it’s helpful to get assorted dinnerware in both white and clear so you can mix and match as needed. Be sure that you have enough of the right glassware for serving cocktails when guests first arrive. Have a water glass and a wine glass on the table for each guest to use during the meal. Presentation: Consider how you’d like to present your meal to your guests. Whether it’s a sit-down dinner or buffet style, your food will be the main focus. A triple slow cooker is great for a buffet. It will let you cook, keep your food warm and allow your guests to help themselves all at once. Create a “Tablescape”: You can make a great impression before your guests even sit down to eat by crafting a beautiful setting. Create ambience by adorning the holiday dinner table and buffet area with seasonally inspired décor and infusing pops of color with the tablecloth, metallic chargers, napkins and fresh flowers. Mood Lighting: For a finishing touch, set the mood with candles by using a mix of tea lights and candlesticks on the table at varying heights. With some special touches to your menu and décor, you can make this holiday a memorable one. (StatePoint)

Enjoy a Rush, Get Stone’d with ‘Sid n Susie’ By Robert Kinsler Cool concert films featuring recent shows from Rush and The Rolling Stones, as well as the latest decade-themed musical mining operation from the magical duo of Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs, are on ear tap this week.

Artists: Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs Title: “Under the Covers, Vol. 3” (Shout! Factory) Listen if you enjoy: R.E.M., The Bangles, The English Beat There have been plenty of musical supergroups over the years, ranging from Asia and Bad Company to the Traveling

Wilburys. When it comes to super duos, the unlikely teaming of Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs is equally special. In 2006, “Sid n Susie” — as they’re known together — released their musical love letter to the 1960s, “Under the Covers, Vol. 1,” which showcased artful and exuberant versions of some of that decade’s best songs. With the release of a similarly-minded “Vol. 2” tackling ’70s songs in 2009, fans had been hoping for a 1980s-mining disc — and it has fully arrived via the 14-track “Vol. 3.” Highlights here include a buoyant rendition of R.E.M.’s “Sitting Still,” an introspective reworking of the Dave Edmunds fave “Girls Talk” and a captivating take on Roxy

Music’s “More Than This.”

Artist: Rush Title: “Clockwork Angels Tour” (Anthem / Zoe Vision / Rounder Records) Listen if you enjoy: Rush, Dream Theater Anyone who caught Rush at any of the trio’s Clockwork Angels shows in 2012 or earlier this year knows the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers’ three-hour concerts were each a tour de force.

Artist: The Rolling Stones Title: “Sweet Summer Sun — Hyde Park Live” (Eagle Rock Entertainment) Listen if you enjoy: The Rolling Stones, Mick Taylor It’s hard to keep a great band down. More than 50 years after forming in London in 1962, the Rolling Stones returned home

this summer to perform in front of 100,000 at Hyde Park. The two-hour 2013 concert not only featured the band playing rousing versions of some of their most beloved songs (“Brown Sugar,” “Happy,” “Miss You,” “Gimme Shelter”), but found Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood joined by former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor (whose first gig with the group was at the original 1969 Hyde Park concert) for the blues-rock opus “Midnight Rambler” and set-ending “Satisfaction.” “Sweet Summer Sun — Hyde Park Live” showcases a legendary band that despite all the odds, and years, still can deliver in full.

By Frieda Noone PALM DESERT – Grammywinning jazz / pop singer Jack Jones, a desert resident, takes the McCallum Theatre stage for one performance this Saturday, Nov. 23. Jones’s showbiz resume dates to the late 1950s, when, at 19, he made his debut in his father Allan’s act at the Thunderbird Hotel in Las Vegas. His break came in 1959, when a demo landed him at Capitol Records, where he recorded the album “This Love of Mine.” One single from it, “This Could Be the Start of Something Big,” caught the attention of a San Francisco club owner, who booked him. While performing

there, he was signed by a producer for Kapp Records. Jones developed an appreciation for songs that told stories, leading him to record works by great balladeers such as Sammy Cahn, Cole Porter, and Alan and Marilyn Bergman. Jones later won Grammy Awards for his singles “Lollipops and Roses” and “Wives and Lovers.” Other hits included “The Impossible Dream,” “Lady,” “Call Me Irresponsible” and “What I Did for Love.” Jones goes on at 8 p.m. at the McCallum, located at 73000 Fred Waring Drive.

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.

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.

Nancy Egan of San Clemente and La Quinta is the 2014 Festival

DesertSTAR

Poster Artist. Her oil-on-canvas, Museumscape, is the 2014 event’s signature poster. Celebrating its 28th anniversary, the Southwest Arts Festival will once again be held at the world-renowned Empire Polo Club in Indio on Jan. 24, 25 and

26, 2014. “My Museumscapes are about who is looking at a piece of art — they are younger and edgier than traditional work,” said Egan, a mechanical and industrial engineer for 30 years before turning to painting full-time. Egan’s work is shown at a number of galleries, including Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano and Litchfield, Conn. “An extraordinary array of artwork was submitted, making this year’s decision more difficult than most,” explains Joyce Donaldson, IOM, president / CEO of the Indio Chamber of Commerce. “The jury deliberated for hours to select the perfect piece that is indicative of our diverse artists and depicts the vibrancy of the Southwest Arts Festival.” Southwest Arts Festival Posters have become coveted collector pieces. “The posters have a history with collectors dating back to 1987,” Donaldson noted. Egan will be on hand at the official unveiling of her poster, set for Tuesday, Dec. 3, at 10:30 a.m., at the Indio Chamber offices, to personally sign 500 prints of her work. Featuring over 250 acclaimed artists showing traditional, contemporary and abstract fine works of art and quality crafts, November 20, 2013

the Southwest Arts Festival is a nationally recognized cultural event. The event’s reputation for first-class quality and professional integrity make it one of the finest in the country. It is the largest annual fundraiser for the Indio Chamber, which is exceptionally fortunate to have over 150 community leaders

and volunteers who contribute numerous hours to ensure the event’s success. For more info on the 2014 Southwest Arts Festival, call 760-347-0676 or visit southwestartsfest.com. Or follow the event on Facebook.

Desert Chiefs Bury Seminoles, Aim for Stars semi-pro football

By Dan Marinelli GRANADA HILLS – Coming into their inaugural season, no team in the Pacific Coast Football Conference (PCFC) could have predicted the unproven, Indio-based Desert Chiefs would compete for the conference championship. But after steamrolling through their schedule and shocking the league, Granada Hills High School was where the undefeated Desert Chiefs found themselves last Saturday — playing for their first PCFC championship. The PCFC title game pinned the Desert Chiefs up against the Santa Barbara-based Seminoles — a team the Desert Chiefs defeated 30-0 earlier in the season. For the second straight game, the Desert Chiefs offense came out a bit stale. There seemed to be some playcalling confusion, causing a lot of uncharacteristically bad Brent Rausch passes. On the other hand, the Seminoles’ offense, with an early 14-3 lead, was running like a finely tuned machine. The Seminoles current scoring surge might have been attributed to the numerous extra players they brought to Granada Hills who were not present during the teams’ first meeting in the desert. “People do rotate jerseys around, based on different things,” said Desert Chiefs head coach Josiah Jackson of the new Seminoles players. “But their middle linebacker, Number Two, was, you know, six-footthree and 260. The first game when they came down to play

us, Number Two was a small, skinny receiver on the outside.” Due to early offensive miscommunication, the Desert Chiefs did not score their first touchdown until wide receiver Gaston Bailey caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Brent Rausch with a little more than a minute to play in the first half. Despite the deficit-shrinking touchdown, the Seminoles still had what felt like a commanding 14-10 lead. The Desert Chiefs were losing by four and needed a momentum-changing play — and they got it, just seconds before the end of the half. “The turning point was Armondo Castro’s strip, sack and fumble recovery for a touchdown late in the second quarter,” said Desert Chiefs offensive coordinator Zach Botich. “That took the momentum away from the Seminoles and gave it to the Chiefs, and we never lost the momentum on our end (after that).” Castro’s clutch defensive play, combined with a two-point conversion reception by wide receiver Ricky Festa, put the Desert Chiefs up 18-14 at halftime. In the second half, Brent Rausch finally settled down after seven straight quarters of shaky play. He connected with Gaston Bailey on a four-yard touchdown pass — Bailey’s second touchdown of the night. Also, late in the third quarter, Rausch aired out a 36yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Nick Lee to extend the Desert Chiefs lead to 18. After giving up 29

sports unanswered Desert Chiefs points, the Seminoles had little more than one quarter left to try and snatch the PCFC championship out of the hands of the Desert Chiefs. With two late fourth quarter touchdowns, the Seminoles tried their best to make a game of it, late. Threatening to score on their final drive, down 3226, the Seminoles needed only one score to tie and an extra point to win. Seminole quarterback Trey Nixon was quickly advancing the ball up

field until the Desert Chiefs defense came up with their second huge play of the night. With only 37 seconds remaining in the championship game, Festa, who was playing defense on the final drive, came up with a clutch, game-ending interception that clinched a 3226 victory — and the PCFC championship — for the Desert Chiefs. Castro earned MVP of the game for his defensive efforts. Brent Rausch finished the game with 250-plus passing yards and three touchdowns. Coming off of last week’s minor concussion, running back Komani Harper was not a big factor, but he did intercept a ball that helped set up the Desert Chiefs’ first touchdown. “These young men put the Chiefs on the map,” said

Rosie Welmas, owner of the Desert Chiefs and founder / CEO of the charitable organization Rosie’s Kids (rosieskids.com). “Most of my starters have never played at this level, and they played better than teams that have been playing for years.” The Desert Chiefs advance to play the CFA champion Hollywood Stars on Nov. 30. Additionally, because they won the PCFC, the Desert Chiefs are hoping to get an invitation to the Tournament of Champions, another playoff among multiple semi-pro football conferences that crowns the best team in Southern California. “All I can now say is, ‘I told you so,’” said Welmas. “The Coachella Valley is full of (football) talent.”

Tigers Maul Aztecs for Playoffs Victory high school football

By Dan Marinelli PALM DESERT – Despite star running back Trae Riek’s four touchdowns, the Palm Desert High School Aztecs (4-1 Desert Valley League, 5-6 overall) came up a bit short against the highlyranked, Wildomar-based Elsinore High School Tigers (3-2 Sunbelt, 6-5 overall) in the first round of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern-Section Central Division playoffs. Combining to score 95 points, there was no shortage of offense from either team last Friday at Palm Desert High. Yet the difference between the two runfocused teams was the Aztecs’ inability to stop the Tigers’ running game from converting on crucial third and fourth downs. After Trae Riek caught a 20yard touchdown reception to put the Aztecs up 7-0, Tigers’ running back Jacob Guglielmana did his best to one-up the Aztecs’ star player. Guglielmana was responsible for three of the Tigers’ first four touchdowns on two 40-plus yard breakaways, along with — most gut-wrenching, perhaps — a 60yard run 52 seconds before the end of the half to put the Tigers up 28-17. “It was a big play for them,” said Aztecs head coach Pat

goal and a rushing touchdown in the final nine minutes to make the 55-40 loss a bit more respectable. Palm Desert’s downfall was, no doubt, their rushing defense — allowing an astonishing 592 yards, the most they allowed all season. Guglielmana finished the game with 312 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Shane Pico added another 209 yards rushing and one touchdown. “Once (Elsinore’s running backs) got to the second level, we didn’t make the tackles,” said Coach Blackburn. To go along with his four

touchdowns, Riek finished his final game as an Aztec with 183 yards rushing — almost 20 yards higher than his season average. Kabeary added two field goals to go along with his 180 passing and 52 rushing yards. “That’s come to be an average performance for (Riek),” said Coach Blackburn. “He ended up with 32 touchdowns on the season. (Riek) and Kyle, along with our offensive line — we threw

Blackburn of Guglielmana’s halfending touchdown run. “We were only down by four points. But we had our chance in the second half, and then again, they broke our backs with big plays.” At the start of the second half, the Aztecs gave up two more unanswered rushing touchdowns to Tigers quarterback Tommy Wilson and alternate running back Devon Turk-Wilson to cap a dominant 41-10 Tigers’ scoring run. Riek did his best to keep the Aztecs in the game, adding touchdowns in the third quarter and at the start of the fourth quarter—accumulating 28 of the Aztecs’ first 31 points. With almost a full quarter left to play, Riek’s scores left Palm Desert High School with a small glimmer of hope. Unfortunately for the Aztecs, the 41-31 score would never get any closer. On the next two Elsinore drives, Tommy Wilson caught the entire Aztecs’ secondary sleeping and connected with Turk-Wilson for the wide-open touchdown pass. Adding insult to injury, a 60-yard touchdown run from the Tigers’ third alternate running back, Shane Pico, iced the game for the Tigers.

Those guys are just doing what everybody’s come to expect.” The Aztecs finished the 13-14 season as co-champions of the Desert Valley League with a record of 4-1 — their best league record since the 07-08 season. “It’s a tough way to go out,” said Coach Blackburn. “We need to focus on the positives this season. I thank the seniors for taking us places that our program hasn’t been since 2005 with the DVL championship; they need to be proud of their accomplishments.”
