Teacher of the Year Painted Hills Middle School Teacher Named California State Teacher of the Year KMKIR News Staff Desert Hot Springs, CA - A music teacher from Painted Hills Middle School in Desert Hot Springs was named one of the state’s top teachers Wednesday by California education officials.

Brian McDaniel, who has taught instrumental and vocal music at Painted Hills for the past two years, is one

of five educators recognized by the California Department of Education as a 2018 California Teacher of the Year.

McDaniel will also be honored at a gala next February in Sacramento, and later will compete against other state nominees for the 2018 National Teacher of the Year award, which will be announced in the spring.

By Desert Star Staff BOSTON -- The Trump administration has been wasting no time when it comes to rolling back protections for the gay community, and Bay State advocates say that is especially true for transgender people.

The good news is that there are significant protections in place for gay people in Massachusetts, but there are concerns about efforts to roll back protections for transgender people. Mason Dunn is a transgender man and executive director of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition.

“So, here in

Massachusetts we have full nondiscrimination protections in employment, housing, credit lending, education and public accommodations,” Dunn said. “I think the rollback at the federal level really points to how important state-based protections are in this moment.”

Under the new policy, a claim of a violation of religious freedom would override concerns for the civil rights of LGBTQ people. Dunn said gains made by the trans community are currently under assault in the the Bay State.

The Massachusetts

``These teachers are deeply committed, hardworking and creative,’’ said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson. ``They help students find their inner strengths and achieve their dreams, while inspiring, challenging, and supporting them every day. They represent the best of their profession.’’

In addition to teaching at

Painted Hills, McDaniel serves as the director of bands and choirs at Desert Hot Springs’ Bella Vista Elementary School and is an adjunct professor at Brandman University, School of Arts and Sciences.

In a joint statement from students Brandon Ulin, band president, and Kathryne Whalen, choir president, the students said, ``He is our role

model, friend and champion ... he understands many of our issues because they were once his. He helps us with our family issues, insecurities, bullying and always finds a way to make us feel better.’’

McDaniel was also recently named one of Riverside County’s teachers of the year Continues on Page 2

Story and Photos by Pat Krause Paris is an amazing city with its Eiffel Tower and museums. My daughter and I spent four days in Paris and didn’t even touch all that Paris has to offer. As a traveler in a foreign country, we used a lot of maps to get around and a special app on my daughter’s cell phone, called Citymapper.

It made it so easy to get to a certain site we wanted to see.

Of course, the Eiffel Tower is a must when you are in Paris.

It is so tall, and the vista from the top is incredible. They say you can see 40 miles away and on a clear day I think is probably very true. You can

walk to the second level but there is also a lift <elevator>.

You have to take the lift that goes all the way to the top and WOW, what a view.

We went through TripMasters for our trip. They did a great job in getting excellent hotel rooms and transportation for us at a very reasonable rate. We had a nice clean hotel room in Paris that offered a really good breakfast as part of the room stay. Paris is known for its sweet treats, but I had to go a long way for a donut. I found one in a McDonald’s, but it is so automated it reminded me from a long-ago time when

you had to get a sandwich out of a box in the wall.

The underground is pretty up to date with escalators in London and Paris or lifts from the different levels.

Great for someone elderly who hates steps. I will say the motorcyclists look like they take their lives in their own hands the way they zip in and out of traffic. Traffic is like rush hour all day long.

The Arc de Triomphe was our first stop. We put going to the Eiffel Tower until the next day because we wanted to see it lit up at night. My daughter said it was only another 36 steps to the top to

see the Lighting of the Tower, view, and it was worth it.

The next stop was the Louvre. I was there 25 years ago but don’t remember it being so big with so many different rooms of artists.

Being a lover of art and a former artist I was in heaven looking at all the revered artists of so long ago. These million-dollar paintings and statues just keep coming in every nook and cranny of the whole Louvre. Seeing Venus was a big thrill as I remembered her from so long ago and the thrill I got back then. People gathered around the Mona Lisa, and

will try again next session to repeal a 2016 law that ensures explicit protections for transgender people from

discrimination in places of public accommodation.

Dunn said this takes religious freedom

beyond reason.

“As a trans person who is also religious, I think it is important for us to say that freedom of religion is essential, it is important,” he said; “but, freedom of religion doesn’t mean that we give people the right to impose their

it was hard to get close.

Everyone was taking selfies with her portrait. It was no photos so long ago but now everyone has a cell phone and camera. People were taking photos of all the art but with no flash, different times.

Walking into the Musee d’Orsay is breathtaking. It was an old railway station that was renovated into this grand Museum of Art. The hallway with the huge gold clock at the end is stunning.

There were special rooms and floors for the different types of art and unique sections for certain artists. They hold exhibitions for one famous artist for several weeks. A must see if you travel to Paris looking for art. Another must see is Notre Dame.

The views are truly fantastic.

There is a lift to one level for viewing. There are also another 387 steps to the top to see the gargoyles and the best views. My daughter took the steps while I stayed behind to see the alter areas and the lesser Paris views.

We took a ride on a boat that took us all along the waterway to see the beautiful old buildings in Paris. Again, it rained but we got pictures of the Eiffel Tower again.

The boat was sparsely filled because of the rain, but we had bought tickets in advance and didn’t have another opportunity to take the ride.

The bridges are magnificent with statues and art work.

Gold bridge decorations and the restaurants that are moored in the river for diners are a vision to see.

It was a fun and would not have missed the ride just because it was raining.

Trump Rolls On, Rolling Back LGBTQ Protections Family Institute is among the groups that say they

Day of Action Demands Aid for Puerto Rico

By Desert Star Staff NEW YORK – In New York, California, Indiana, Illinois and Washington D.C., activists held a National Day of Action on Wednesday, calling on Congress to pass a recovery aid package for Puerto Rico.

Three weeks after Hurricane Maria hit, almost 90 percent of the island is still without electricity and little aid is reaching some areas.

Kiya Vega-Hutchens, climate justice policy organizer at the Latino community group UPROSE, says relief for the island must include repealing the Jones Act, which restricts shipments to Puerto Rican ports, and more effective distribution of aid.

“The National Day of

Action is also calling for debt relief so that Puerto Rico can recover with dignity and move towards an economy that is not based on extraction but based on rebuilding in a resilient way,” she states.

Puerto Rico is saddled with $73 billion of debt.

The demands are detailed in a petition with more than 9,000 signatures delivered to members of Congress.

Vega-Hutchens adds that there also must be a transparent decision-making process for the distribution of resources, and for investments in towns and districts where they are most needed.

“Families are having to go down to Puerto Rico to make sure that the aid that we send actually reaches the community that it’s intended for,” Vega-Hutchens states.

“This is the beginning of a call to action, but this campaign will be ongoing until we see a just recovery effort for Puerto Rico,” she says.

Flooding linked to warmer temperatures and ice meltage on Lake Michigan is likely to increase in the Midwest, according to a new report. (V. Carter)

By Desert Star Staff INDIANAPOLIS – Parts of the country along the coasts have been battered this year by Mother Nature, and a new study from the Midwest Economic Policy Institute warns that the threat of climate change extends much farther inland and could wreak havoc on transportation and infrastructure systems across the Midwest.

Study author Mary Craighead says policymakers

need to understand the potential costs and consequences of climate change, and adds they need to be proactive to protect communities and the economy.

Her report says the average air temperature has increased by more than 4 degrees since the 1980s, and there’s been a 27 percent increase in the number of days of very heavy rain since the 1950s.

“The higher temperatures and the stronger storms can reduce the lifespan of roads, bridges,” she points out.

“They can cause railways to buckle. Flooding, obviously, is a huge issue that can impact the flow of traffic, the flow of freight, which can impact our economy.”

Flooding is a key issue because there has been a steady reduction in ice coverage on the Great Lakes, and more frequent

freeze-thaw cycles.

Craighead says there have been more electricity outages, and she adds the Midwest is a net distributor of electricity to other regions.

Floods, high winds, ice, snow and storms can damage facilities and aboveground transmission lines.

The study recommends limiting development in lowlying areas that already have experienced storm-related damage, and updating heat and rainfall standards used in the project-design process.

“It’s just going to keep getting worse, so it’s time we really need to stop debating it and start actually taking action and planning for it in the future so we don’t have to deal with the ramifications after the fact, we can actually plan for it ahead of time,” Craighead stresses.

The study says national infrastructure needs are expected to top $2 trillion by 2025.

It notes the state departments of transportation in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Minnesota have all pursued asset-management programs to address climate change and assess vulnerabilities.

Stories and Photos by Pat Krause There was a private nominee reception for National Philanthropy Day on Wednesday, October 4th at a exclusive home in Palm Springs. Phillip Ittelson provided his beautiful modern mid-century style home for this event. Willie Rhine and 849 Restaurant served the refreshments and appetizers.

2017. Angela Allen named each nominee and gave a brief description of why they are being nominated and who nominated them.

Each of these honorees is recognized for their outstanding contributions. Hands-on efforts and dedication make them very deserving of this wonderful tribute for their work to improve and aid

our entire Coachella Valley and its residents.

This pays tribute to those special philanthropists who work so hard to promote our Valley through fundraising efforts with their time, talent, skills and financial aid.

There will be a luncheon on Nov. 8th to announce the winning honorees. The Association of Fundraising

Restaurant. These were parts of the special category in the PSIAF that will be held November 9-11th. Proceeds of some of the film will go to the Boo2Bullying organization.

There are 43 categories in the new festival. There were over 2700 submissions, and Founder Brian Hoff said he watched everyone. It was so hard to choose those that will be shown at the festival.

43 categories are a lot to be able to put all those that submitted films into a certain category. Brian Hoff said this has been his dream to have an animated film festival. It is a dream come true, and he is trying hard to make this first festival one to remember.

Boo2Bullying is a big part of the PSIAF with the help of Demitri Halkidis. Halkidis started this organization when he lost someone close to him because ‘of bullying. A young Boo2Bullying Ambassador, Solange Signoret, is just 12 years old but appeared to be much older when she introduced Palm Springs Mayor Robert Moon. She has the poise of someone a lot older when she asked for a moment of silence for those we lost. Solange was the winner at a recent Boo2 Bulling singing contest. Mayor Moon announced he had been with his husband for 36 years but were only allowed to get married eight years ago.

The PSIAF will have a lot of surprises in the films they present. There will be some that will have people involved

in the films attending. This is the first film festival of its kind in the Valley. Proceeds from the festival will go to Boo2Bullying and its mission.

Robert Creighton Stars As James Cagney.--A Yankee Doodle Dandy

Robert Creighton and The Company of CAGNEY. Photo by Carol Rosegg When I was a kid my sisters and I actually saw James Cagney in “Yankee Doodle Dandy” 14 times in one week. We loved it that much.

Eventually, Cagney was type casted as a gangster, but at heart he was a song and dance man—a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Now the New York sensation “Cagney,” has come to the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood from Oct. 5 to 29 and stars Robert Creighton in the title role, along with the other five members of the New York cast. In New York, the show had a sold out five-week run, then moved on to the larger Westside Theatre where it ran for an additional 14 months for a total of 502 performances.

In a recent interview with Robert Creighton, he told me how excited he was about bringing “Cagney” to California.

“The two most important places I wanted this story of James Cagney to be told were New York City where he grew up and his character

was forged, and Hollywood where his talent and onscreen magnetism made him one of the greatest film legends of all time” he said. “It’s an honor to get to tell Mr. Cagney’s story, and i am thrilled that this dream-cometrue project is now having its day in the California sun.”

Creighton told me he was born in Canada, then laughed adding, “I became a dual citizen, so I’m not lying when I sing “I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy.”

He continued, “My fascination with Cagney began when one of my acting teachers said.

‘You remind me of James Cagney.’ After that I felt a weird connection to him since we both loved to sing and dance. I became obsessed about finding all of his films and watching them. One was ‘Man of 1,000 Faces’ where he played Lon Chaney. Soon I felt it was fate; I had to do a play about his life, and it cried out to be a musical.”

GOT NEWS?

Prior to starring in “Cagney,” Creighton did episodic TV work, including roles in the TV hit “Law and Order” He also played the upbeat mercat Timon in Disney’s “The Lion King.”

His next Broadway show will be Disney’s “Frozen.”

“I play the Duke of Weselton. He’s a bad guy, but he’s funny. My children (Robert James, 5 ½ and Samantha, 4) love the show.“ He also spoke warmly about his wife Whitney, who is in advertising, not show biz.

According to Creighton “Our show blends music from Cagney musicals like “Give My Regards to Broadway,” “You’re a Grand Old Flag” and Yankee Doodle Dandy,” written

by George M. Cohan with new music and lyrics which I wrote with Christopher McGovern.

The book for the show is

by Peter Colley. Bill Castellino directs, and the choreography is by Joshua Bergasse.”

He continues; The conflict in the show is between Jack Warner, head of Warner Bros. played by Bruce Sabath and Cagney. Warner was a tough guy to work for. He would say ‘I’m the puppet master. I can

Eventually, he walked out of his contract—and won.

“Cagney was always a champion for liberal causes like the underpaid cotton pickers in the San Joaquin Valley. He was also a founding member of the Screen Actors Guild which fought for fairness under the studio system.”

“Cagney was a family man.

His wife, a performer in her own right, stuck by him through thick and thin for 66 years.

Her name was Willard, but he called her Bill or Billie, but in the show, we call her Willie.”

The actor and hoofer, loves playing Cagney, but says, “It is the most strenuous role I have ever played since I am on stage almost constantly for two

hours.” And since Cagney was a redhead, “a ginger.” he has dyed his hair red for the part.

He concluded our interview saying, “Our show is about a great American who came from poor beginnings and became an American film legend. My hope is that audiences will be inspired by what he did with his life and feel so joyous they will want to leave singing with an urge to put on tap shoes.”

I saw the show on October 8 at the El Portal Theatre and like Creighton’s teacher I was amazed by how much he looked and sounded like James Cagney-that Yankee Doodle Boy. .

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.

Trump signs executive order relaxing healthcare rules

By Desert Star Staff US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order allowing the purchase of health insurance across state lines, aimed at creating more choice on the marketplace and reining in the rising insurance premiums.

The new executive order will increase competition, choice and access to healthcare for millions of Americans, while costing the US government “virtually nothing,” Trump said.

Introducing the president, Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) called the executive order “the biggest free-market reform of healthcare in a generation.”

Vice President Mike Pence called it the “critical step to lower the cost of health insurance.”

Allowing people to buy insurance across state lines will create “tremendous competition,” Trump said, adding that “insurance companies will be fighting to get every single person

to sign up,” and costs will go down as a result.

He said the new executive order would provide millions of Americans with relief from the Obama-era Affordable Care Act, widely known as Obamacare.

Insurance costs “skyrocketed” under Obamacare, the president argued, saying people in Alaska saw their premiums go up 200 percent. One third of all counties in America have only a single insurer selling insurance on the Obamacare exchange, Trump said, adding that soon many will have none.

Several initiatives to repeal and replace Obamacare failed in the Republican-majority Senate, with several senators, including John McCain (R-Arizona) saying the replacement portion has not been properly thought through.

The executive order will expand access to socalled “association health plans” (AHP) – plans written by trade associations, small businesses and other groups.

It wouldn’t allow these plans to base premiums on preexisting conditions, according to Fox News.

Trump also ordered to ease restrictions on shortterm insurance policies, which Obamacare regulations limited to three months in duration, but his plan would expand to one year.

While proponents of the move see it as a way to

bring down insurance costs, critics argue that ultimately it will raise costs for the sick.

Expanding AHPs and increasing short-term insurance policies could be detrimental to the current insurance market that complies with Obamacare regulations, Cori Uccello from the American Academy of Actuaries told Fox News.

Healthy people could leave the market, turning it into a

high-risk pool, she said.

“If a goal is to provide protections for people with preexisting conditions, this is a step in the wrong direction,” according to Uccello.

The changes will most likely have no effect on 2018 Obamacare premiums and will still need to go through the rulemaking process, which could take several take months.

Hispanic Heritage Month Draws Attention to Health Disparities, Risks

By Desert Star Staff DES MOINES, Iowa – In Iowa and across the nation, Hispanic Heritage Month is being celebrated with events commemorating the contributions of U.S. residents who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico and Spanish-speaking nations of Central America, South America and the Caribbean.

But there’s also a health

crisis in Hispanic communities.

Of the more than 182,000 Hispanic Americans who live in Iowa, about 4 percent suffer from cardiovascular disease.

Kassi Wessing, communications director for the American Heart Association Iowa chapter, says the data is clear.

“Hispanic populations are at a disproportionate high risk for cardiovascular

diseases and stroke,” she states. “That includes risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol.”

Wessing notes that more than half of Hispanic women are unaware that heart disease is their greatest risk.

With Iowa’s overall adult obesity rate of 32 percent, she says spreading the word is the first step toward healthier lifestyles, including

getting adequate amounts of exercise and working to reduce cholesterol intake.

Among Hispanics age 20 and older, the Heart Association says 80 percent of men and 76 percent of women are considered to be overweight or obese.

In Iowa, the obesity rate for the Latino population is just under 30 percent.

Wessing says it’s a public

health issue, and communities need a greater focus on healthy living options.

“Whether you have access to healthy foods or access to walking and biking, or outdoor recreation,” she states.

Since 2000, Hispanics in the United States have grown from 13 percent of the overall population to 17 percent.

Dickens Classic Novel “A Tale Of Two Cities”

By Jack Lyons Theatre and Film Critic Nineteenth century English novelist Charles Dickens, is one of the English-speaking world’s greatest writers. His many novels validate his talent for creating memorable characters along with a gift for rich plotlines and the ability to keep the reader fully engaged from beginning to end.

“A Tale of Two Cities”, published in 1859, was one of the finest novels of its day and now, 200 years later it appears on the stage of Pasadena’s classic theatre company, A Noise Within, as a bold, new, dramatic production from the pen of journeyman writer and play adaptor Mike Poulton.

In 2016, Poulton debuted his version of Dickens’ classic story of love and redemption set against the tumultuous backdrop and events leading up to the French Revolution and the infamous ‘Reign of Terror’ at the Royale and Derngate theatre complex in Northampton, England.

The success of the Northampton production must have caught the eyes and ears of Founding Producing Artistic Directors Julia RodriguezElliott and Geoff Elliott. The Elliott’s (husband and wife) have successfully navigated the challenging and daunting waters of presenting quality theatre in the traditional ‘rotating repertory format’ thanks to a dedicated and committed resident artists program that has become the backbone of the organization over the last twenty-six years.

“A Tale of Two Cities”, crisply directed by the Elliotts’, is one of Dickens’ sweeping stories that is not staged very often. The core story is often mistakenly confused by audiences, as the musical “Les Miserables”, due to the similar rebellion sequences. ‘Two Cities’ deals with the 1789 French Revolution in Paris, while ‘Les Miz’ takes place in the south of France in the city of Digne, in 1815 and is known as the ‘Student Rebellion’.

Boiling Dickens’ large source material novel (some 350 pages) down to a two hour stage production became a herculean process for writer Mike Poulton. It is a richly plotted tale of love and redemption whose actions cross back and forth between London and the French Capitol of Paris. There have been plays and movies based on the French Revolution over the years, some (25 years back) six film versions and six TV versions, among a few theatrical productions have mounted productions. For example, Frank Wildhorn’s stage musical production “The Scarlet Pimpernell”, was seen by LA audiences some seventeen years ago. But it’s hard to beat the 1935 MGM movie starring Ronald

Colman as Sydney Carton when it comes to capturing a sweeping, large canvas story like “A Tale of Two Cities”.

In short, “A Tale of Two Cities”, tells the story of French doctor Manette (Nicholas Hormann) and his daughter Lucie (Emily Goss), and Emily’s French-born husband Charles Darnay (Tavis Doucette), a former French Aristocrat who renounced his title and moved to England and is married to Lucie. Darnay’s friend and lawyer Sydney Carton (Frederick Stuart), as it happens, harbor’s a secret unrequited love for Lucie, and is determined to help her and his friend Darnay in any way he can.

In France the revolution and its supporters cast a wide net in an effort to punish the hated aristocrats. When Darnay receives word in London that a friend is in trouble with the rebels and their revolutionary court and trials, he returns to Paris to help and is arrested and put on trial as a traitor. The main accuser against him Madame Defarge (Abby Craden) is determined that Darnay must die, because his family killed members of her family. She wants an eye for an eye.

These are the main characters that propel the narrative forward. It may appear as a somewhat dated dramatic piece, but the core values of two hundred years ago can still resonate with 21st century audiences, especially when it comes to understanding today’s toxic politics.

There are twenty-three performers, some of whom play multiple roles in this fine ensemble production.

Unfortunately, there is not enough space to list everyone.

However, there are always standouts. Emily Goss renders a small but integral role with passion and empathy as Lucie. Goss goes from a wonderful, enchanting, Muriel in ANW’s recent production “Ah Wilderness! to a frightened, sympathetic Lucie in ‘Two Cities’.

Abby Creden as the villainous Madame Defarge, spits out her bilious feelings and talk of revenge in whiplashing dialogue. She controls whose head is to leave their shoulders, and who is to be spared. That’s too much power to be left to a single avenging person. Tavis Doucette as Darnay plays to the stoic and steadfast traits that make him a sympathetic character and a loyal friend of Sydney Carton. Frederick Stuart, as Carton is the real hero of this tale of two cities, giving his last full measure of devotion to Lucie and Darnay. Stuart delivers a finely judged performance as Sydney Carton.

Miller, Jeremy Rabb, and Geoff Elliott. The production is well paced and neatly choreographed for such as large company. But I am puzzled by the directors’ decisions to have the French characters speak with English cockney accents. It’s natural for the cockney-accented roles for English speaking characters, but it’s a bit confusing to have people from two different countries

sound alike when delivering dialogue, n’est-ce pas?

In the technical department the creative team led by the Elliotts have a functional set and performing area designed

by Fred Kinney, with lighting design by Ken Booth, and original Music Composition/ Sound Design by Robert Oriol.

The costumes Designed by Jenny Foldenauer are spot-on and appropriate for the period for both the aristocrats and the

rebelling mobs and peasants.

“A Tale of Two Cities” is a splendid production that runs in repertory through November 19th.

The other two productions also running in repertory are: “The Mad Woman of Chaillot” through November 11th, and G.B. Shaw’s “Mrs. Warrens Profession”, through November 18th.

Don’t Miss any of the three!
