CV Rep Launches 2014/2015 Season With Poignant Drama directed by Ron Celona

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic The desert’s most intimate and quality Equity theatre CV REP, launched its 6th season with the insightful, drama “The Chosen” adapted by Aaron Posner and the late Chaim Potok, based on Potok’s novel of the same name.

Directed with intelligence

and sensitivity by CV REP’s founding artistic director Ron Celona, the poignant coming of-age-story between two young Jewish teenagers and the cultural divide on the part of each father’s religious position is a key element in this thoughtful and heartwarming production. Celona is an award-wining director with tons of experience, and I believe

this may be one of his finest directorial efforts.

The story follows young Reuven Malter (Drew Feldman) and his friend Danny Saunders (Daniel Seigerman) as they grow up the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, in the 1940s. The action takes place over a period of six years, beginning in 1941 when the

By Desert Star Staff PALM DESERT, CA— College of the Desert (COD) Student Veterans Organization (SVO) will be holding its 6th Annual COD Veterans Day Ceremony on Monday, November 10 at 12:30 p.m.

It will be in the amphitheater between the Cravens Student Services Center and the Communication Buildings.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

The presentation will include the History of Veterans Day and each of the Armed Forces. Service flags of the five branches of Service will be on display to honor those who have served in the military.

Participating in the ceremony will be COD’s Student Veterans Organization CoAdvisor and Political Science Adjunct Faculty member, Antoine (Tony) Clerc. Clerc is an alumnus of COD after his service in the Army. In 2008, he returned home to share what he had learned during his military service, at college and teaching abroad. COD’s Student Veterans Organization President Frank Yturralde will be the event emcee.

COD has approximately 200 Veterans attending and receiving the VA’s GI Bill® benefits plus many more Veterans of all ages from

their 20’s to their 60’s.

The BIGHORN Golf Charities Veterans Resource Center was opened in August 2012 as a place for COD’s Student Veterans to obtain information, study, have access to computers and a printer, and a place to meet their fellow Veterans and have a feeling of camaraderie.

COD’s Student Veterans Organization is a proud Chapter of the national Student Veterans of American Organization.

COD’s SVO meetings are held in the BIGHORN Golf Club Charities Veterans Resource Center.

two are fifteen years old. The theatrical convention of a narrator is employed whenever flashback scenes are required for clarity and to keep the ebb and flow of the text ongoing. David Natale, opens the play as the adult Reuven; setting the story in motion and acting as our narrator/ tour guide throughout the play.

It’s a flawless performance.

Drew Feldman as young Reuven, a mathematics whiz, may be a young actor (23) but his performance speaks volumes for his interpretation of a loyal but conflicted friend when “the rubber meets the road” and it comes time to honoring one’s parental advice versus friendship.

d n E e k v e e nt Sum Up e W JIM HOUSTON’S FABULOUS HALLOWEEN PARTY

Story and Photos by Pat Krause Jim Houston has held his unbelievable Halloween Party for close to 25 years. The party is by invitation only and is always held at his estate. As usual, it was extremely well done, and the Halloween Pirate decorations were spectacular. Guests saw a pirate display as they entered. Waiters and waitresses were dressed in pirate costumes to go along with the theme of the evening. They were kept busy serving foods and drinks to all the guests.

There was a long line of foods in a specific area off the main grounds under a huge tent. There were salads, sandwiches, sushi and unique cobbler desserts. Of course, course there was Jackie Lee’s favorite many flavors of popcorn in her memory. The costumes worn were extremely well done as you could see ghosts, a pope and rabbi, pirates, cowboys, Twins from the movie, The Shining, living dead people with blood and scars, Egyptian headdresses and robes, and Princesses to name a few. Some were so elegant in design, kingly robes, pretty gowns, Witches, both good and evil, and an amazing array of colorful costumes too numerous to mention them all. There were even a current Ebola patient and doctor and of course the attractive dresses worn by the men from their jobs as entertainers.

It was a marvelous evening weather wise too. Mr. Houston’s family was also present and in such costumes, no one knew who they were at first. It was a guessing game all evening to guess who was behind what costume or makeup. The creativity of some of the guests and their costumes was amazing. Some took great pains to get just the right costume for this special night. A big Thank You to Mr. Jim Houston for another fun Halloween event. .

take profits in August.

I still have short-term concerns for the markets.

While Wall Street has just about turned a deaf ear to DC, the reality is we can’t totally ignore the malaise in our nation’s capitol nor with the lackluster performance of both the major political parties.

There was a host of new taxes that went into effect on January 1, 2014. These taxes were passed as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Some of the tax jumps this year is the top Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35%; the highest income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6%; top income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%; capital gains went from 15% to 28% and taxes on dividends went from 15% to 39.6%. The real impact of those higher taxes won’t be seen until tax season next year.

Many of us are seeing the new costs for our health insurance for subsequent year.

Rate hikes have been reported across the board along with higher deductibles and out of pocket expenses. This is going to squeeze even more money out of consumers who are carrying record levels of personal debt.

There is also some concern over the fact that the ACA website will not disclose new health insurance rates until

It doesn’t always happen that way. How many of us pulled all our money out of the US markets in 2008 and invested into foreign markets? Few and it doesn’t make much sense that overseas investors will do that now as their economies are slowing.

Our stronger dollar will likely hurt exports in the future meaning American goods won’t be in as high demand as they are today. The Ebola scare is still there and is ever-evolving.

Geopolitical tensions remain high, and it’s likely that the “war” with ISIS is going to continue

to worsen. These are all major factors that could push the markets to the downside.

We would love to see the market retest the lows from early October. This is called a “double bottom” and is a great sign of a healthy bull market.

Bulls are very skittish animals and somewhat predictable. I don’t think the past two weeks have changed any of that.

time a definition of “conflict of interest” to the Common Interest Development Act. However, the definition is quite minimal, and does not list all possible conflicts of interest. A director being paid by an HOA vendor should disclose his relationship with that vendor, should not participate in discussions or vote on decisions regarding that vendor, and should not sign any checks to that vendor.

Bluntly, the president is making a mistake. By becoming involved financially with an association vendor, he is damaging his immunity and his credibility with the membership.

He should be asked to decide what is more important – leading the association or receiving money from the vendor. If the money is more important, he should resign. If the HOA is more important, he should quit the vendor.

We believe those actions are violations of our bylaws.

neighbors, real estate agents or tenants could serve.

Third, some associations hire “recording secretaries” to take minutes, although it’s often unnecessary. Minutes are often a problem simply because too much unnecessary information (such as commentary) is included in them. Minutes should not be a major task, since they only record who attended, what reports were received, and motions made (and the outcome of those motions).

Directors should not be paid for what they do during the meeting, and paid recording secretaries do not have volunteer immunity.

Make sure your minutes are not overdone, or at least get help – so your board Secretary can participate in the board’s deliberations.

Best regards, Kelly.

Don’t forget that the recent stock market rally is all of two weeks old! We have still gone more than three years without a 10% correction in the markets. The rest of the world is supposedly slowing down, and some areas are fighting the threat of recession.

This was brought to the attention of the board by one of the HOA’s employees. This has never been brought to the attention to the homeowners.

Is this right?

Hi Kelly!

Our HOA bylaws state that anyone can be elected to the Board including non-owners, non-residents, etc. Our Board Secretary is a renter and our Board is planning to have that Dear J.S.: position to be a paying job.

Civil Code Section 5350, Our Board also holds its new this year, adds for the first meetings at a restaurant at November 5, 2014

Dear C.W.: First, restaurants are usually poor board meeting locations, because they are usually noisy and do not allow for members to observe the meeting. While sometimes HOAs will provide sandwiches for a board meeting, a restaurant meal is more likely to be controversial – perhaps directors should pay for their own meals. Also, alcohol during board meetings is never a good idea - the board should take its decision making more seriously.

Second, your HOA should consider amending its bylaws to require membership to serve on the board. Otherwise,

Five Regrets of Those in the end Stage of Life When Ms. Ware questioned her patients about any regrets, they had or anything they would do differently, the similar regrets surfaced repeatedly. These themes provide invaluable insight into what really matters about our lives when we look back on them. These ideas should be considered making your life happier and more fruitful today.

Here are the top five regrets of the dying, with accompanying thoughts from Ware.

By Janice Gough As we approach the wonderful holiday of Thanksgiving; I wish to share some ideas compiled by a nurse who treated patients in the end stage of life. I referenced information from a book by Bronnie Ware who is a nurse who spent years working in palliative care and caring for patients in the final weeks of their lives and wrote a book based on what her patients told her.

5. I wish that I let myself be happier. “This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realize at the end that happiness is a choice. They stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives.

Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to themselves, that they were content, when deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their lives again.�

By Desert Star Staff Kevin Brown, 2014 president of the California Association of Realtors updated 180 real estate professionals at the fifth “Showcase Live� Series at Indian Wells Country Club.

Brown also handed out awards to various CDAR Realtors for outstanding achievement: • Leadership recipients: Steve Kass, Marnie Balog, David Banks, Diana Bernardi, Diane Busch, Linda Cappella, Rodney Chalmers, Robin Dufault, Wendy Formica, Stacey Grande, Judy Horn, Rich La Rue, Carl Mitrak, Ron Podell, Patti Rollins, Margie Taft and Carolyn Uhl.

• Honorary recipients: Morgan Ward, John Jacobs, Frank Bosnich, Marilyn Schwartz, Robert Scott, Rita Smith, William Waring, Alice Price, Gloria Olson, Pat Bush Kruse, Marlee Martin, Rebecca Funk, Joan Vough and Connie Zelig. • Emeritus members: Morgan Ward, John Jacobs, Rebecca Funk, Frank Bosnich, Marilyn Schwartz and Robert Scott.

The 175,000 member statewide California Association of Realtors is the largest trade organization in the United States, dedicated to providing products and services for real estate professionals, legislative

4. I wish I stayed in touch with my friends. “Often they would not truly realize the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks, and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years.

There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.�

“This came from every male patient. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship.

Women also spoke of this regret, but as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All the men deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.�

2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. “This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their lives is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honored even half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it.

Having honest talks with ourselves about what really

advocacy, scholarship and education programs, Brown said.

The Bay area Realtor said CAR has taken the lead in California to push for and oppose legislation that affects the real estate Industry and private property rights. “We sponsored nine bills this year,� Brown told the audience.

To aid consumers, CAR also sponsors Homebuyer Fairs to educate first time homebuyers and others on the steps to accomplish the American dream of homeownership. “We’ve had six such fairs this year,� he said.

To further expand the CAR brand. Brown announced there will be a first ever Real Estate Summit: Partnering for Change in California “in Los Angeles Nov.14. to bring together prestigious educational institutions such as UC Berkeley Fisher Center for Real Estate and Urban Economics, UC Irvine Center for Real Estate,

UCLA Anderson Forecast, UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate, USC Lusk Center for Real Estate, and Stanford Professionals in Real Estate with influential economists, policymakers and business leaders to dissect and suggest solutions to the state’s biggest economic and real estate challenges, including infrastructure, foreign investment, consumer trends, housing finance, affordability and business environment.

These Showcase Live membership meetings offer CDAR Members an opportunity to catch up on industry updates; and with each other are being held throughout the Coachella Valley for the broadest access for CDAR Realtors and associate members. The regular events also introduce CDAR members to the various country club communities throughout the Coachella Valley. “This is a tremendous benefit

3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings. “Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.�

matters helps us to achieve more overall happiness. At times, we are so caught up in making life work, that we have little time to meet with ourselves and correct our own mistakes. The most important thing a financial advisor can provide to you is the opportunity to start from the results you want to end with and then work your overall plan to make these dreams happen.

Financial security gives you more time for yourself and others.

Dawn Wells on a ‘Three-Hour Tour’

By Desert Star Staff Rancho Mirage, CA—The Coachella Valley Repertory Theatre has announced that stage and screen actress, author, and spokesperson Dawn Wells will be the special guest artist at their November 19th Luminary Luncheon at 12:00 noon.

Why did the Howells bring so many clothes, so much money and an endless supply of champagne on a “three-hour tour”? Are you a “Ginger” or a “Mary Ann”? The professor made a telephone from coconut shells, so why couldn’t he fix the S. S. Minnow or build a new boat altogether?

And how did they all finally get off that uncharted desert isle?

Not only will Ms. Wells reveal the answers to these and other Gilligan’s Island mysteries, she’ll also fill us in on what she’s been up to since her rescue from the

island.

For instance, in her recently published book, What Would Mary Ann Do?: A Guide to Life (co-authored with Steve Stinson)—released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the premiere of Gilligan’s Island and cleverly written from Mary Ann’s perspective—Dawn addresses such topics as dealing with changes in today’s culture and addressing issues confronting single women and mothers. So, sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip . . . and then some!

This special luncheon, which is open to the public, is part of CV Rep’s series of Luminary Luncheons and will be held on Wednesday, November 19th at the CV Rep Theatre located in The Atrium, 69-930 Highway 111 in Rancho Mirage.

The luncheon, sponsored by Acqua Pazza/Lulu California

Bistros and Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort and Spa, begins at noon and will be followed by an Actors Studio–style interview with Ms. Wells conducted by local emcee and TV/radio host, Don Martin. Tickets are $45 (all inclusive), and reservations are required as seating is limited.

For tickets call our box office at 760-296-2966 or visit our website at www.cvrep.org.

Dawn Wells is widely known for her role as Mary Ann Summers in the hit television series Gilligan’s Island, but there is so much more to her repertoire than that one role.

Ms. Wells is not only an actress, she’s also a producer, author, spokesperson, journalist, motivational speaker, teacher and chairwoman of the Terry Lee Wells Foundation, which focuses on the needs of underprivileged women and children in northern Nevada.

EMC Offers Veterans Free Lung Cancer Assessments

By Desert Star Staff Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center invites local Veterans to receive a free lung cancer risk assessment in honor of Veteran’s Day during November – recognized nationally as Lung Cancer Awareness Month.

Partnering with the Lung Cancer Alliance (LCA), the Vietnam Veterans of America, American Veterans and Military

Officers Association of America, the Cancer Center is proud to offer at-risk veterans life-saving information on their lung cancer risk. The Cancer Center will offer assessments on Nov. 7, 11 and 21. To schedule an assessment, please call (760) 834-3798 or visit emc.org/calendar.

Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center is the only facility in the Coachella Valley to offer veterans this lung cancer risk

assessment in partnership with the LCA, and one of only few hospitals nationwide to do so.

“We are honored to be a part of LCA’s nationwide effort to raise awareness about the risk factors associated with lung cancer, particularly with Veterans,” says Alison Mayer Sachs, MSW, CSW, OSW-C, Director, Community Outreach and Cancer Support Services, Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center. “As the

only Coachella Valley screening facility who participates with the Lung Cancer Alliance, our efforts have resulted in screening more than 631 individuals locally. A risk assessment is paramount to catching lung cancer while it’s not only treatable but curable.”

Veterans are at higher risk for lung cancer than civilian populations because of higher smoking rates and exposure to known carcinogens during active duty including Agent Orange, radon, asbestos, diesel fuel exhaust and other battlefield emissions.

While lung cancer may take decades to develop, symptoms do not usually become obvious until the cancer has already grown into late stage when survival is less than 15 percent.

Screening those at high risk with low dose CT scans before symptoms occur can identify lung cancer at an early and most curable stage. Individual risk for lung cancer will vary and screening may involve some potential harms.

Veterans have a right to know all the facts and get all the information they need to make a decision.

By Desert Star Staff Tax evasion robs California of roughly $8.5 billion every year—funds that are vital to public services such as education, healthcare and public safety. As a partner of the Tax Recovery and Criminal Enforcement (TRaCE) Task Force, the Board of Equalization recently introduced and is host to the new TRaCE website.

The TRaCE Task Force unites

state and federal resources to collaboratively investigate and prosecute people and businesses operating in the underground economy.

You can learn more about TRaCE’s mission, goals, and enforcement efforts from the TRaCE website. Visitors to this site can download a form to report illegal underground activities such as tax evasion, counterfeiting, labor fraud and

human trafficking. An online system for reporting crimes is coming to the TRaCE website soon. The TRaCE Task Force reviews all leads reported for full investigation, or as applicable, referral to the appropriate state, local, or federal law enforcement agency to address.

“As an early sponsor of TRaCE, I am committed to supporting this important task

force that seeks to crack down on the underground economy which competes with legitimate California businesses,” said Board of Equalization Chairman Jerome E. Horton. “Not only does the underground economy cost all taxpayers in lost revenue for public services, but also an estimated 750,000 jobs annually – jobs which could further help our state’s economic rebound.”

“There is no better way to honor the men and woman who served our country than with an initiative that could save their lives,” said Laurie Fenton Ambrose, Lung Cancer Alliance President and CEO. “We applaud Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer for participating in the third Annual Honoring Veterans Initiative.”

The brief assessment involves a few simple questions about smoking history and carcinogen exposure. Upon completion of the assessment, an appointment for a CT scan may be encouraged.

“For any veterans who feel they could be at high risk, please contact us for more information,” says Sachs. “The assessment takes but a few minutes…a few minutes that could save your life.”

Eisenhower Medical Center is a not-for-profit, comprehensive health care institution that includes the 476-bed Eisenhower Hospital, the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center at Eisenhower and the Annenberg Center for Health Sciences at Eisenhower.

“We look forward to working with our government partners to combat criminal tax evasion and other underground economic activity,” said Board of Equalization Member Betty T. Yee. “It’s a step in the right direction toward recouping some of the billions of dollars we lose annually.”

Poignant Drama “The Chosen” Continued from Page 1 It’s a sensitive and compelling performance. And the same can be said of Daniel Seigerman’s Danny Saunders’ portrayal.

Danny has a photographic memory and harbors a secret desire to become a psychologist, like his hero Sigmund Freud. In Danny’s case, the pressure to be and become his own person vs. what his Hasidic, traditionalist “tzadik” father expects - that of following in the tradition that the oldest son must become the congregation’s spiritual leader – has been gnawing at him for two years.

It’s a career path Danny does not want to follow. Seigman’s understated performance vs.

Feldman’s outgoing portrayal makes their scenes together most compelling, relevant, and entertaining.

Dennis Gersten as David Malter, Reuven’s father, is a marvel of an actor completely in charge of his character who knows and understands how to modulate and orchestrate his delivery of Potok’s powerful imagery and meaningful text with the skill of a Symphony

musical conductor. His powerful radio speech endorsing the movement of creating a Jewish state in Palestine is rousing and inspirational which is in contrast to his thoughtful and quiet scholarly demeanor at home with his son.

David Light as Reb Saunders, Danny’s intimidating father delivers an achingly nuanced spot-on portrayal as the religious leader of the Orthodox Hasidic community of Williamsburg Brooklyn. Light wears his deeply held emotions on his sleeve. And during his religious instruction sessions with Reuven and Danny as all three read from the Talmud, one gets a peek into the dual personality of an old man leading his traditionally religious community and that of a father raising a son in a very secular and alien culture. Reb Saunders is opposed even to talk of a permanent homeland for Jews in Palestine; considering such a movement to be heretical. He goes so far as to forbid his son Danny from seeing or talking to Reuven or his father thus

driving a wedge between the two friends. Their relationship is definitely affected but not their friendship. One can feel real empathy for the traditionalists and the Reb Saunders’ of this world. After all, as Kermit says, “It’s not easy being green.”

“The Chosen” swoops into the audience’s heart and neatly captures the essence of Potok’s affecting human message of hope. Even in a diverse and secular America of 310 million

citizens, every culture and every religion has the ability to leave the “old world” of European Jewry behind and blend into the “new world” of America, and still remain true to one’s Jewish traditions.

Celona cleverly blends the melodramatic elements of the story with the realistic and textured narrative threads which offer this outstanding cast the opportunity to shine when their individual moments arrive.

The set created by resident set designer Jimmy Cuomo is a creative marvel of what can be accomplished on a small stage without compromising the dramatic intention of the playwrights, or the personal vision of director Celona.

“The Chosen” is a potently acted impressive piece of work that needs to be seen. It runs at CV REP, Rancho Mirage, throughNovember 16, 2014.

Hospitality veteran Stan Kantowski took the helm as general manager at Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs early in October. With leadership roles at a variety of luxury resorts, such as the five-diamond Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado, Kantowski brings expertise in creating outstanding guest experience to the Hard Rock Hotel.

“Stan’s ability to head a team focused on the highest level of customer service is exactly what we were looking for,” said Andy Carplac, owner of Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs. “We know his skill set and experience can take us to the next level as we continue to expand our resort.”

Opened just one year ago, Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs recently also opened Simon Kitchen + Bar, the latest restaurant venture of celebrity chef Kerry Simon. Heading up Simon Kitchen + Bar is executive chef Jeremy Saccardi.

MUSIC

BY ROBERT KINSLER

Legendary Acts Highlighted on new DVDs Highly-anticipated collections featuring Alabama, Deep Purple, Genesis and Yes are available now on DVD and/ or Blu-ray.

Artist: Alabama Title: Alabama & Friends At The Ryman (Eagle Vision) You might like if you enjoy: Alabama, Jason Aldean, Trisha Yearwood, Jamey Johnson Tell me more: Since reforming to perform a benefit concert to assist victims of a series of devastating tornados that hit their home state in 2011, Alabama has been busy carving out a successful second act in the world of country music. The recently-released “Alabama & Friends At The Ryman” finds the group not only playing some of its biggest hits (“Dixieland Delight,” “Mountain Music” and

“Song of the South” to name a few), but joining forces with country music’s biggest 21st century names to bring new shades to other classics (notably Jason Aldean joining forces on “Tennessee River” and a powerful “My Home’s In Alabama” featuring Jamey Johnson).

Information: thealabamaband. com.

Artist: Deep Purple Title: Live in Verona (Eagle Vision) You might like if you enjoy: Deep Purple, Rainbow, Led Zeppelin Tell me more: When it comes to historic venues, few places compare with the Arena di Verona, a Roman amphitheater built in 30 AD. So it’s fitting that Deep Purple opted to perform and film a once-in-a-lifetime concert with a full orchestra

at the ancient venue while on tour in summer 2011. That stunning concert is captured on “Live in Verona,” where the five members of Deep Purple are in perfect sync with the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt orchestra. Highlights include the driving “Hard Lovin’ Man,” heavy blues rocker “Maybe I’m a Leo,” heroic “Perfect Strangers” and symphonic “Knocking at Your Back Door.” Information: eaglerock.com.

Artist: Genesis Title: Three Sides Live (Eagle Vision) You might like if you enjoy: Yes, ASIA, Phil Collins Tell me more: Filmed in November 1981, “Three Sides Live” captures Genesis at that seminal moment in time when the band (Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Daryl

Stuermer, Chester Thompson) was transitioning from a groundbreaking progressive rock outfit into the pop-rock superstars they would be become a few years later.

Previously only available on grainy VHS or as part of a limited edition box set, the 16mm film footage has been fully restored and “Three Sides Live” looks and sounds terrific. The infectious “Misunderstanding,” progressive “Dodo / Lurker” and thrilling “Abacab” are among the performance highlights, while the film captures plenty of behindthe-scenes footage of the band.

Information: eagle-rock.com.

Artist: Yes Title: Songs From Tsongas: The 35th Anniversary Concert (Eagle Vision) You might like if you enjoy: Yes, ASIA

Tell me more: After 10 years, the wait is finally over for Yes fans. Yes’ “Songs From Tsongas: The 35th Anniversary Concert” (available on a 2-disc DVD, and 3-disc audio CD) captured Yes on the band’s last tour to feature the classic line-up of singer Jon Anderson, guitarist Steve Howe, bassist Chris Squire, keyboardist Rick Wakeman and drummer Alan White. Memorable performances on the collection include the ambitious “South Side Of the Sky” (with Howe and Wakeman both getting to shine), the Renaissance-flavored “Turn Of the Century,” and a wonderful version of “I’ve Seen All Good People” where Yes includes a bit of John Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance” effectively into their artful arrangement of the song.

Teen Murder Suspects Say They’re Not Guilty

By KMIR News Staff In a packed Indio courtroom filled with friends and family of the victim and suspects, two teens charged with the murder of 23-year-old Fabian Martinez pleaded not guilty at their arraignment Wednesday afternoon.

Carlos Jay Martinez, 19, and Noel Hernandez, 18, both of Palm Desert, were arraigned at the Larson Justice Center. In addition to murder, Hernandez faces one felony count each of assault and false imprisonment.

At the end of the hearing, someone yelled curse words before the defendants were taken

away, causing deputies to order most of the crowd to leave the courtroom.

Fabian Martinez, unrelated to Carlos Jay Martinez, was found dead in the 48600 block of Camino Las Brisas Sunday morning. Riverside County Sheriff deputies say he died from at least one gunshot wound. Detectives arrested Martinez and Hernandez on Monday.

Both defendants are due back in court November 6th for a felony settlement conference and bail hearing. They are currently being held on $1 million bail each. Source: KMIR

Man Killed in Officer Involved Shooting in Indio

By KMIR News Staff INDIO -- A man is dead after a car pursuit leads to an officer involved shooting in Indio.

Multiple officers are now on leave, and the sheriff’s department is investigating the shooting.

Highway 111 between Jefferson and Madison Street was closed since Sunday night, and re-opened late Monday afternoon.

Neighbors tell us they heard as many as 50 gunshots go off in the night as this traffic stop came to a violent end.

Because this involves

both California Highway Patrol and Indio Police, they asked the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department to conduct an independent investigation.

“I heard sirens, and then a few minutes later, I heard gunshots, there was quite a few of them, I don’t know exactly how many, but they just kept going off,” said Indio resident, Sherri Trent.

She said 50 gunshots did sound accurate.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department says this all started at 11:30 Sunday night.

A California Highway Patrol

By KMIR News Staff One woman died and several others were injured in a two vehicle head-on crash on I-10 east of Dillon Road early Wednesday morning.

The California Highway Patrol says a driver in a BMW was traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes of the highway when it slammed into a van carrying eight people. The BMW driver died on scene. Three people in the van were seriously

injured, and transported to a local hospital.

Riverside County Fire and the CHP responded to the incident at 4:30 a.m. One eastbound lane was closed for about four hours while paramedics and CHP officers responded to the incident, but the lane re-opened at 8:30 a.m. The investigation into the collision is continuing.

KMIR will have more information as it becomes available. Source: KMIR

officer tried to pull a driver over that he suspected was driving under the influence.

The driver didn’t stop at first.

“The driver of the vehicle finally stopped at Shields Road, southbound Shields Road and Jefferson Street, at that time the driver of the vehicle exited with a shotgun,” said Deputy Armando Munoz with Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

CHP officers called Indio Police for backup.

“The driver of the vehicle was still in the possession of the shotgun, did not obey the

commands that were given to him and he did fire a round from his shotgun and at that time an officer involved shooting occurred,” said Deputy Munoz.

The driver died at the scene.

His identity has not been released.

He was the only person in the vehicle.

No officers were hurt.

Police did not tell us how many shots were fired, or how many officers were involved in the shooting.

“I talked to a few officers and they said that someone pulled a gun on five officers and that’s when the officers opened fire,” said Trent.

Meanwhile, residents are feeling unnerved by the shooting in their neighborhood.

“It’s kind of scary you know, because you have kids, I have my little girl so for me it’s kind of scary, I thought this was more of a quiet neighborhood,” said Indio resident, Ericka Ugalde.

Officers say the road was closed so long because they need to be thorough, and it was a multi-agency investigation.

An investigation is underway into an officer involved shooting that took the life of a man who, according to the Riverside County Sheriff Department, shot at California Highway Patrol and Indio Police officers when

he exited his vehicle during a traffic stop.

The incident happened about 11:30 Sunday night when the California Highway Patrol tried to pull over the driver who was suspected of driving under the influence near Highway 111 and Jefferson. The driver kept doing and eventually stopped on Shields Road, where he got out holding a gun, Riverside County sheriff ’s Deputy Armando Munoz said.After the driver exited his vehicle with what appeared to be a gun, he “failed to drop his firearm, and an officer-involved shooting occurred,” Munoz said. The driver died at the scene. No officers were injured.

Highway 111 was still closed in both directions between Madison and Jefferson streets as of 2:45 p.m.

The Riverside County Sheriff Department was called in to conduct an investigation. Munoz said officers from both the CHP and the Indio Police Department were involved in the shooting, but the number of officers who fired shots is under investigation and not being released at this time. The officers involved in the shooting have been placed on paid administrative leave per department policy. Source: KMIR

Suspect of Making Explosive Devices Declared Incompetent

By KMIR News Staff A judge ruled today that Sean Stewart Clark, the 22-yearold man suspected of making explosive devices at a Cathedral City mobile home is incompetent to stand trial.

At a hearing at Indio’s Larson Justice Center, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Victoria Cameron declared Clarke unable to assist in his own defense, based on an evaluation by a mental health expert.

Sean Stewart Clarke previously pleaded not guilty to nine felony counts - including possession of an explosive device, arson, assembling a booby trap an disposing of hazardous waste -- and a misdemeanor count of being under the influence of a controlled

substance.The charges were filed after he was allegedly found to be in possession of an explosive device and bombmaking materials at a unit at Sungate mobile home park.

Clarke will be referred to the county mental health department for a placement recommendation, the judge said. The defendant remains in custody in lieu of $250,000 bail and is due back in court Nov. 25 for a placement hearing.

A woman who identified herself as Clarke’s mother but declined to give her name said outside court that she is “just wanting the best for him, so hopefully it’s fair.’’

Clarke’s sister in San Diego called police early on June 24 and asked them to go to her father’s

home on Sunseeker Place, saying her brother was there and was “acting delusional,’’ according to Cathedral City police. When officers met Clarke at the front door, they saw a powder on the floor, dismantled shotgun shells and buckshot.

“Clarke’s appearance and behavior also led the officers to believe that he was under the influence of a controlled substance,’’ according to a police statement. The suspect was in possession of an explosive device, which he said he made with potassium nitrate and aluminum powder, and told officers he “was carrying it for protection,’’ according to police.

During a sweep of the home, officers saw bombmaking materials and called

the sheriff’s bomb unit, which evacuated nearby residents.

Technicians used a robot to retrieve a bomb from the porch. The mobile home was

burned down by authorities June 27 as the safest way to dispose of its explosive contents. Source: KMIR

LOS ANGELES – 18 years in purple and gold, five NBA championships, two NBA Finals MVP awards, one NBA MVP, 16 all-star games, four all-star MVP awards, 31,799 total points, yet the most glaring number in Kobe Bryant’s illustrious Lakers career is 48.5 million.

A $48.5 million extension is what the organization gifted the superstar before even seeing how he would fare on the court after coming off a seasonending torn Achilles injury at the finish line of the 2012-2013 season. Though the praiseworthy, all-everything guard had been the face of Los Angeles’ flagship professional basketball team for almost two decades, the news of the extension was met with a slight cringe.

Why would Kobe selfishly take that much money knowing the Lakers needed to spend much of that 48.5 million on bringing in other players? For the same reason, why would the Lakers offer an aging, injured Kobe a max deal knowing that he was in decline and had not even stepped on the court following a major sidelining? Finally, how would this contract affect the future of a team that is known for immediately reloading and never rebuilding?

Except for the obvious monetary reasons, only Kobe knows why he accepted the extension, but the Lakers had a valid argument. They needed a player, a face that was going to sell tickets because the roster was the thinnest it had been since the days of Smush Parker – yikes. Not to mention, in an industry where there is not enough of it, show a little loyalty to a player who had stuck by through the good times and the bad times.

Fast forward to now. A tanked 2013 season, and losing by almost 20 points a game in a 0-4 start this year.

The Lakers are still in the cellar and off to the organizations lousiest start in decades – a worst-case scenario for fans that are accustomed to seeing “Showtime” run teams out of the building on a nightly basis.

Is it the Kobe extension that prevented management from brining in top talent? Is it Kobe’s intense, I-can-do-it-myself rap that drove free agents away? Is it David Stern’s infamous veto of the Chris Paul trade that would have sent the now-Clippers centerpiece to Magic Johnson’s former stomping grounds? Is it Steve Nash retiring before the start of the season due to recurring back problems? Was losing highly touted lottery pick, Julius Randle, for the season an unrecoverable blow?

All those factors could

play a part but the historically dominant club has had one of the toughest opening weeks, if not toughest, of all the NBA teams, thus far. The Lakers were the only team to play four games in the first five days – grueling. On top of that, they began the season against superior teams: the Houston Rockets, the Phoenix Suns, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors.

The schedule will lighten up and the team will get better, but does it really matter to a glitzy franchise that only hangs championship banners and nothing else? 0-4 – any Lakers fan with an IQ can see the writing on the wall; the team is going nowhere, and nowhere fast.

Where do they go now, what is the next move, who do the Lakers turn to for help? Will the powers that be pull another rabbit out of a hat like they did in 2007 when they managed to get Pau Gasol from the Grizzlies?

Rumors of trading Kobe are now floating around.

Really? Once the team is 0-4 and miserable is what it took to even consider the possibility of letting the Black Mamba go?

After giving him the ridiculous, partially thought-through contract extension – it cannot be. Baring witness to the last couple of seasons, GM Mitch Kupchak could not have honestly thought that the Lakers would be a serious contender with what was thrown together on the court.

These are some of the most frustrating times for the Lake Show and the worst part is that there is no clarity as to the direction the team is heading. The NBA has changed drastically since the new collective bargaining agreement of a few years back and the Buss Family were definitely not beneficiaries.

The Lakers cannot simply rely on their storied history or financial endowment to woo players anymore. It is a different NBA. Byron Scott’s squad is on pace to finish the year 0-82 – which is 99.9 percent not going to happen. But hey, the Lakers would have better odds at the number one pick, however, with the way things are going, they would lose the lottery, too.

No matter what happens this season, the Lakers are in for more rebuilding. The only questions are: how long will it take and will Kobe stay in a Laker uniform through the construction process?

Late Michael Jackson’s Guitarist Rocks The Desert

By Carolyn W. Gaines’ Orianthi, opened her set at the Morongo Casino Resort with a beautiful song for ‘Dracula’ called, “I Can’t Get Away From You” because the Vampire had bitten her with his blood running down her jaw. The Desert Fans had a time and a half observing the young superstar that could fit alongside Carlos Santana, Eric Clayton or Chuck Berry. Her sultry, on fire, smoking Halloween Concert made her new fans very happy for one-night.

She hits universe guitar chords like Blues guitarist Bonnie Raitt. She got the Carlos Santana’s world tasty licks and tabs. She controls the guitar like Buddy Guy, Roy Gaines, Johnny Lang and Santana. The born Australian, nice, gorgeous Orianthi Panagaris brought her eerie, three-piece band to scare her fans into Count Dracula’s Haunted House. Orianthi’s stage was a charming, ghostly, Halloween theme truly creepy, spooky, witchery as ‘The Adams Family.’ Her Halloween attire was extremely classy with two ponytails with a black, hat, trimmed in brown, black-suede pants, dark long coat, black pants, and diamonds around her neck. I think Dracula gave her sparkling jewels as a Halloween gift. He likes for her to play all three colorful green, baby blue and white guitars. Orianthi’s craft shows that hard work-pays off.

She closed her eyes and pulled, some, deep down, gritty riffs from her soul of Australia.

Orianthi’s Fans said, “She’s Dam Good!” All of her solo’s on the green guitar were lost in her breath of life and inspiration. She feels Rock ‘n’ Roll night after night just like Blues musicians feel Blues. The Vocalist guitar playing is “Bad” like her late, great, Boss Michael Jackson’s vocals. We Love You Michael Jackson!

The Rock Star made her fans dance to every Rock ‘n’ Roll Notes. She dropped. I could see her new desert fans were hungry for her. They loved her energetic, rock music. The Rock Diva slowed the night down with a song called, “Give Me Something Good” on her acoustic white guitar that vocalized, Brooklyn Allman and lead guitarist Danta Phoenix altogether. I asked the background singer: Brooklyn Allman and guitar player-Dante Phoenix the same questions that I asked Shemekia Copeland, Eric Johnson and Guitar Shorty. What message do you have for kids in the Music Business? Brooklyn said, “Save Rock ‘n’ Roll!’’ and Dante Phoenix said, “Play for music not, money!!” Wow! I asked her fans Laura and Rosea: What did they think of Orianthi show tonight? Laura said,” Awesome Concert” and Rosea said,” She’s so talented.”

Orianthi’s drummer was the

Drummer Sheila E.

greatest African American Rock ‘n’ Roll Drummer whom I had ever seen in my life time. I asked Eric Valentine: What message do you have for Kids who play the Drums? He said, “Believe.”

The Choir girl, Rock ‘n’ Roll, for an hour and a half just like late Jimi Hendrix. The Crooner did sing and whaled on her guitar two songs called, ‘Voodoo Schools Out’, and ‘Knocking On Heavens Door’ with a beautiful songbird on her stage. The Canary hits the guitar strings and played number 11 from her song list called, ‘According To Him’ that was an up beat tempo tune.

The Entertainer had her mixed audience smiling, happy, staring at her and waiting for those stunning, rock ‘n’ roll rich, vocals to burst out and sing. She knows how to sing really well.

Orianthi has mastered the guitar.

The instrumentalist is ready to tour around the world for the next 45 years. I interviewed the polished Superstar, and I asked her the same questions that I asked B.B.King, Roy Gaines, Bobby Rush, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. What message can you send to the Kids who plays Rock ‘n’ Roll or Blues? Orianthi said, “Play from the heart, and Play like you singing. Never give up!” Wow!
