Calling all Angels!

By Desert Star Staff SAN DIEGO, CA – Tickets are on sale for San Franciscobased rock band TRAIN’s exclusive performance at Walden Family Service’s annual Wine D’Vine on October 11, 2019, at the Hyatt Regency in La Jolla, California. All proceeds from event benefit Walden’s programs for foster youth and families.

Concertgoers will

experience an intimate evening with Train as they perform to a limited number of guests. With hits like the Grammy-awardwinning “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me),” “Hey Soul Sister,” “Marry Me,” and “Meet Virginia,” the band is beloved not only for a consistent stream of hits but for their consummate showmanship and audiencethrilling performance.

By Theda Kleinhans Reichman Elton John wrote “Do You Feel the Love Tonight” for Disney’s “The Lion King,” but as a youngster, Elton didn’t receive much love from his father. Only his grandmother really believed in him and encouraged him to study music.

When the film begins, Elton is in group therapy, and as usual, he makes a grand entrance wearing an outlandish sequined outfit with feathered red wings more suitable for a stage performance than a therapy session.

As he talks about his life, the film focuses on his boyhood

when he was Reginald Dwight.

(Matthew Illesly and Kit Connor play young Reggie at different ages. The adult Elton is portrayed by the very talented 29-year-old Taron Egerton). In flashbacks, we see the young boy being rebuffed by his cold, aloof father who pushes him away, even though it is evident that Reggie wants to be noticed and accepted by his dad. Soon his parent’s divorce and he is left in the care of his mother Sheila (Bryce Dallas Howard). While she supports his musical gifts,

Train perform for us,” said Walden CEO Teresa Stivers.

“When I think about the song ‘Calling All Angels’ it speaks to what our foster kids are going through, and how they need angels: ‘When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head / When you feel the world shake from the words that are said / I need a sign to let me know you’re here.’”

For 16 years, Wine D’Vine has been Walden’s signature event, raising unrestricted funds to support children, youth, and families with foster care, adoption and transitional housing programs and services. The organization places particular emphasis on helping medically fragile children, LGBTQ, teens, and sibling groups.

“There are over 35,000

children in foster care in Southern California, and we’re dedicated to finding loving, stable homes for all, including the most vulnerable,” continued Stivers.

“A ticket to Wine D’Vine is more than a night out with a great concert — you will be a foster child’s angel.”

How Technology Is Reshaping and Reinventing The Real Estate Frontier

By Desert Star Staff How you buy or rent property – and how others sell or lease it to you – is in the midst of dramatic change, the kind perhaps not seen in the real estate world since the birth of the skyscraper in the 19th century.

The reason: property technology or “PropTech,” which is a collective term used to define startups offering technologically innovative products or new business models for the real estate markets.

PropTech could even alter who wins and who loses in the real estate profession.

“Some who don’t embrace real estate technology will be dragged along, forced to up their game by vendors and clients,” says Aaron Block, co-author with Zach Aarons of PropTech 101: Turning Chaos into Cash Through Real Estate Innovation (www. proptech101.com). “They may discover one day that they are well behind the competition.

Some of them won’t survive.”

Block and Aarons, cofounders of MetaProp, a leading PropTech venture capital firm, say that PropTech is creating far-reaching

change for the real estate industry that’s comparable to what happened in the late 1800s when innovations in construction technology helped make building skyscrapers possible and profitable.

“The ways in which real estate gets bought, sold, leased, financed, appraised, designed and managed already have changed dramatically in recent years,” Aarons says. “And you can expect PropTech to drive even more changes, and at a fast pace.”

Block and Aarons say that’s a good thing for consumers, for the industry – and for those working in real estate who are willing to adapt. Some of the many changes and benefits PropTech is creating are: Energy savings. One key benefit of PropTech is the potential cost savings involved with energy. “Detailed data about how a space is used, lighted, cooled, and heated, and the ability to automate or remotely control the built environment, make for a powerful combination,” Block says. “This sort of information and analysis moves landlords and management closer to the customer, allowing them to

present real estate as a service, not a product, which increasingly gives them an edge over the competition.”

Availability of data. The growing transparency and availability of real estate data has a democratizing effect and makes providing good service more important than ever, Aarons says. “Much of the commercial brokers’ value used to lie in their relationships with other brokers and their access to information,” he says. “Residential sales agents were hired in part because they had deep local knowledge and exclusive access to a jealously guarded multiple-

listing service.” As technology makes such information readily available, those who can differentiate themselves in such areas as good dealmaking skills and smarter strategies stand to make more money, Aarons says.

Efficiency. In the past, commercial real estate brokerages had to spend a lot of time and resources gathering information and plugging it into spreadsheets. Now they can devote that time to deeper market analysis, planning, and strategy, Block says.

Meanwhile, residential sales agents who are willing and able to adapt to innovations will

have the means to replace their exclusive access to the MLS with perhaps something better – a forward-looking online advertising strategy, a suite of powerful digital tools, and a comparative marketing analysis that harnesses data in ways their competitors’ CMAs don’t.

“The fact that real estate managed to insulate itself from technological advances and innovations for longer than most industries only means that the pace of change is that much faster now,” Aarons says. “The good news is that, for those willing to embrace innovation, there is a future rife with opportunity.”

12 Angry Men

By Desert Star Staff The stakes are high in this classic courtroom drama set in a New York Jury room in the late 1950’s on a very hot summer day, where a jury of twelve men are deciding the fate of a teenager. The verdict is nearly unanimous when a single dissenter forces them to face their own prejudices and unite their conflicting personalities in a final verdict.

Now, the latest version of the classic comes to the Desert Theatreworks stage.

12 Angry Men was written by Army Veteran, First Lieutenant, Reginald Rose.

Newspapers are vital to democracy.

Thankfully, some state lawmakers appreciate this.

Now they need to follow through and approve Assembly Bill 170 this week.

California newspapers – not just your hometown daily paper but smaller papers for underserved communities – could soon face a devastating financial blow. Under a far-reaching bill that the Legislature has approved and that Gov. Gavin Newsom says he will sign, newspapers would be required to treat part-time delivery workers as fulltime employees. Newspapers have already been hard-hit in the internet era. If this bill becomes law, many will go out of business – meaning there will be far fewer journalists playing their

crucial role of holding the powerful accountable.

But Assembly Bill 170 would delay this crippling of the free press in California. It would give the governor, the Legislature and the newspaper industry one year to come up with rules that would be fair to both delivery workers and their employers.

The California News Publishers Association is deeply concerned that the Legislature will adjourn without

helping newspapers, carriers and the communities they serve. The failure of the Legislature to act would be a tipping point in the history of California newspapers and the public’s right to know.

Unless Assembly Bill 170 is passed by Friday, California newspapers will face an expensive new obstacle to their survival.

If you want to help newspapers continue to perform their much-needed watchdog role, please call your state lawmakers and urge them to support AB 170.

Rafael Nadal edges 5-set thriller against Daniil Medvedev

By Desert Star Staff Spanish tennis superstar Rafael Nadal and Russian ace Daniil Medvedev served up a final to remember at the US Open, as the world No.2 edged a thrilling contest 7-5, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4 at Flushing Meadows.

In a match already being described as one of the greatest US Open finals of all time, Nadal raced into a twoset lead, only for Medvedev to come storming back into the match to take the contest into a deciding fifth set.

Eventually, it was Nadal’s big-game experience and nerveless composure in the deciding set that proved vital as he edged out his younger opponent and secured victory after almost five hours of play at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.

In a first set that saw both men take control of their service games and Nadal handed a code violation after the first game for slow play, the two players slugged it out, with Medvedev earning the first service break of the match in the third game.

But Nadal immediately responded to break back in Game 4 to put things back on serve once again.

The pair then battled it out all the way to the 12th game before Nadal eventually claimed the crucial second service break to take the set 7-5.

Medvedev looked to fire straight back at the start of the second set, but Nadal battled back to save set points and secure his first service game.

Then the Spanish ace put the pedal to the metal and upped the pressure on Medvedev’s serve, breaking the Russian in the sixth game of the set before serving out the rest of the set to take a two-set lead.

Nadal kept the pressure on in the third set and outgunned Medvedev from the baseline in the fifth game of the set to break serve and put him in pole position to claim victory, only for Medvedev to battle back in the very next game to level things up once again.

And when the Russian produced a stubborn rearguard action to first save a break point, then brilliantly hold serve in Game 9, the crowd inside the Arthur Ashe Stadium rose as one to hail Medvedev’s gutsy refusal to give up.

The momentum looked like it was swinging in Medvedev’s favor, and when he broke a tiring Nadal in the 11th game of the set, it gave him the opportunity to serve out the set and get a foothold in the match.

And Medvedev turned that momentum into a bona-fide comeback as he produced some inspired tennis to break Nadal in the 10th game to win the fourth set 6-4 and take the match into a deciding set as the New York crowd exploded with joy.

Medvedev’s inspired returns of serve forced Nadal onto the back foot as the Spaniard produced some of his best defensive tennis to hold serve as the firedup 33-year-old roared his approval after holding his first service game of the set.

Then, after an epic fifth game in the set, Nadal made the decisive breakthrough as he came storming back from 40-0 down to break Medvedev’s serve and put himself within touching distance of the title.

The three-time champion then produced an imperious service game before pressuring Medvedev into a pair of crucial errors as Nadal broke again with some sublime shotmaking.

It left the Mallorca native with the opportunity to serve for the match but in an unexpected twist, a time violation and

a long second serve saw Nadal blow his chance as Medvedev broke back instantly to keep his hopes alive.

But Nadal recovered instantly and came storming

back on Medvedev’s serve.

Some brave play from Medvedev saved two match points and held serve to put the onus back on Nadal again.

Coachella Valley Joins National Movement to End Prostate Cancer

By Desert Star Staff Indian Wells, CA – This year, the Coachella Valley joins 40+ communities across the country to shine the light on prostate cancer, a disease that takes the life of an American man every 17 minutes, as part of the national ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk series.

Hosted by Desert Medical Imaging and presented by Valley Urology and Palm Valley Pain Management, the ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk Coachella Valley takes place September 14, 7 a.m., at Palm Desert Civic Center Park and will feature a community rally, family festivities, an Access Expo with medical and wellness resources, a celebrity survivor speaker, and multiple run/walk race opportunities.

“The ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk rallies communities and gives participants a voice in the fight to end prostate cancer,” says Jamie Bearse, CEO of ZERO, the national nonprofit whose goal is to create Generation ZERO – the first generation of men who are

free of prostate cancer. “We’re making prostate cancer a national priority. The Run/ Walk series is a way to mobilize the prostate cancer community and raise funds for patient support programs to ensure that no man has to face prostate cancer alone.”

Race categories include a 5k Run/Walk, Kids Dash for Dads, and a Snooze for Dudes virtual participation option for those who want to contribute without attendance.

Participants receive a t-shirt, free food and awards, resources, and the opportunity to connect with others who are impacted by the disease.

Survivor Speaker Dan McDougall: A special ceremony for patients and survivors serves as the heart of every event and will feature Canadian actor, writer and producer Dan McDougall whose work includes Fargo, Hell on Wheels, Brokeback Mountain and Heartland as the key survivor speaker.

A special Survivor Lounge will also be open to those facing the disease first hand.

Additional celebrity guests include Harrison & Chris Sands who will sing our national anthem, Welterweight Boxing Champion Tomas Dulorme, and News Channel 3’s Patrick Evans who will serve as emcee.

Access Expo Providing Resources: All in the community are invited to attend and take advantage of the important offerings at the Access Expo featuring health and wellness information and resources. Attendees can talk about medical and prevention solutions with pharmaceutical representatives from companies like Pfizer and Bayer. Local companies like Desert Medical Imaging, Valley Urology, and Eisenhower Health will be onsite along with Desert Oasis Healthcare who will be providing health screenings onsite.

Family Fun: Dads and their little ones are encouraged to take part in the Kids’ Superhero Dash for Dad. Little racers each receive a superhero cape from a sponsor, AVSU, and

will have fun with “Eradicator,” the IEHP mascot on hand to further generate excitement.

Community Rally: The ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/ Walk – Coachella Valley will bring the community together for a day of celebration.

The La Quinta High School cheerleading squad and the Cathedral City High School jazz band will be on hand to help rally runners, and a special flag presentation will be conducted by Marines from the 29 Palms Marine Corps Base.

Local organizations joining national sponsors in support include Presenting Sponsor, Valley Urology; Platinum Sponsors, the Auen Foundation and Desert Oasis Healthcare; Silver Sponsors, Kerrigan & Will Family Medical Group, Reinhart Pain Management, Eisenhower Health, Desert Prostate Specialists, AVSU,

State Farm’s John Ford and Cindy Piper Agents, News Channel 3, SR Social Media, and Desert Health.

“We are proud to sponsor this inaugural desert event to raise money and awareness for research and free testing,” said Catharine Reed, Senior Program Officer of the Auen Foundation. “ZERO and Dr. Feller are actively seeking treatment solutions and diligently educating families about prevention. We are excited to support this new community outreach and fundraising effort to impact more people.”

Funds raised for this year’s Coachella Valley event will go toward local and national efforts. More than $4M was raised nationally in the 2018 ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk series.

3 Ways You Can Benefit By Giving Your Smartphone A Rest

By Desert Star Staff America is saturated in smartphones. A Pew Research Center survey reported 81% of Americans own the versatile — and some say, addictive — mobile device.

With the smartphone’s capabilities for internet access, social media interaction, running all kinds of apps, and texting, its screen has become the nation’s preoccupation — while face-to-face human conversation seems more of a second option.

“Everywhere you go, so many people are looking into their phone, not at each other,” says Johnny Welsh (www.johnnywelsh.com), author of Paper Maps, No www.desertstarweekly.com

Apps: An Unplugged Travel Adventure. “Will smartphones and social media be the biggest distractors of interpersonal communications in our lifetime?”

Welsh wanted to ensure that didn’t happen in his life, so he and his girlfriend embarked on a 16-day western U.S. road trip devoid of smartphones and electronic devices. A bartender for 25 years, Welsh had grown tired of seeing the social element of a crowded bar — lively conversation — often missing when people were glued to their phones.

Learning to live without the devices – or at least doing so for a couple weeks while vacationing — is a healthy reboot everyone should try,

Welsh says. Reflecting on his unplugged road trip, Welsh shares what he gained from travelling without informationage technology — and how he thinks people can benefit by giving their phones a rest: Enjoy real conversation.

Welsh means meaningful conversation with strangers as well as with friends and loved ones. On their trip, he and his girlfriend enjoyed meeting people and they got to know each other better as well. It led to their engagement. “The art of one-on-one communication is getting lost,” he says. “But without phones to distract us, our communication between us was more fulfilling. I imagine this can be a challenge for many couples who are accustomed to being September 13, 2019

apart even while in the same room — because one or both are on their phones.”

Keep your head up, see and feel more. Simple observation of nature’s beauty was enhanced on Welsh’s trip. ”We felt a heightened sense of focus throughout our trip,” Welsh says. “We were free to absorb all that was around us without distraction.

In the pre-internet days, kids on vacation looked out the window of cars with a sense of wonder. Every day was a new discovery. Unplugging today gives you that same sense of fresh discovery and in-the-moment living we were all intended to have.”

Re-learn how to relax. A vacation is supposed to be about relaxing. Welsh was

reminded of that without his smartphone. “We recognized the reason we take vacations is to get away — and that means getting all the way away,” Welsh says. “Turn it off. Unplug. Be totally in the present. Too many people spend vacations and days off still consumed by social media, which can either add stress or steal the present time from you.”

“You’re robbing yourself of the full experience of a road trip if you don’t unplug,” Welsh says. “The same is true in life; you’re not getting nearly the most out of it if you stay glued to a screen and miss many of the moments and people around you.”

By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif.

— California would become the first state in the country to ban the sale of fur if a bill before the state Senate today becomes law. Assembly Bill 44 already has passed the lower chamber.

Fleur Dawes, communications director with the nonprofit group In Defense of Animals, said animals raised for their fur, such as rabbits, coyotes, mink and chinchilla, often lead short, brutal lives.

“They are killed in the most ghastly ways,” Dawes said. “They are bludgeoned to death, they are caught in traps, they are electrocuted.

And then the pelts are ripped from their bodies and then sewn into fashion garments.”

The cities of San Francisco, Los Angeles, West

Hollywood and Berkeley already have passed similar bans. Fur-industry groups say the industry already is highly regulated, and claim natural fur is eco-friendlier than plastic-based fake fur.

It still will be legal to sell second-hand fur clothing or decor. Taxidermy and the sale of leather, full sheep or deer pelts and fur used in Native American ceremonies also are permitted. Dawes noted the bill does not address the wearing of fur.

“AB 44 will not prevent anyone from buying fur in other states or wearing fur that they already own,” she said.

“All it will do is prevent millions of deaths from fur being sold in California going forward.”

Many fashion lines already have stopped using real animal fur. (Monica Migielska/Pixabay) The bill establishes a fine of $500 per item sold or Last week, Gov. Gavin the commercial or recreational and private lands in the state. $1,000 for repeat violators.

Nation’s First Ban on Sale of Fur Goes Before State Senate Today

Pinecone Hunt Underway to Help Wildfire Recovery

People’s Power Assembly members, shown here in a Baltimore rally in 2016, are part of a coalition organizing protests against President Donald Trump and the GOP in Baltimore this week. (Elvert Barnes Photography/Flckr)

By Desert Star Staff BALTIMORE – Just six weeks after President Donald Trump attacked Baltimore

on Twitter as a “rat- and rodent-infested mess,” a group of activists plans to protest the president’s

appearance here Thursday.

Trump will be speaking at the 2019 House Republican retreat dinner

at a downtown hotel.

Outside, hundreds are expected to rally against his policies on immigration, war and climate change, says Miranda Bachman, an organizer for ICE Out of Baltimore, one of the groups involved in the protest.

“We deeply oppose Trump’s policies, his policies of racism, his policies of division, of workers of oppressed people and poor people,” she states. “We’ve seen him attack migrants, refugees, and make attacks that are not so veiled and are racist.”

Trump has stood by his comments on majority-black Baltimore and his criticism of U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, whose district includes parts of Baltimore.

The “No Racists on Our Streets” rally at 4 p.m. is the first of a series of demonstrations to be held

over the next four days against the GOP and Trump.

Young people are especially angry at the president’s refusal to take action against climate change, according to Sharon Black, a spokeswoman for People’s Power Assembly, another of the grassroots groups planning the rallies.

“On the heels of the Bahama islands and his kneejerk response to turn away people who, just as a result of the climate crisis, are in dire straits, is close to criminal, in my opinion,” Black states.

A new Washington Post/ ABC News poll shows Trump trailing in the 2020 presidential election campaign.

Of registered voters surveyed, 40% said they’d vote for Trump while 55% said they would vote for former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden.

Pinecone Hunt Underway to Help Wildfire Recovery

By Desert Star Staff DENVER – Every decade or so, ponderosa pine trees produce massive numbers of pine cones, an event called a mast seeding year.

This year, trees along Colorado’s Front Range already are producing lots of seeds, and forest managers are jumping at the opportunity to collect and store them.

Catherine Schloegel, watershed forest manager for The Nature Conservancy in Colorado, says gathering pine cone seeds is an important tool for helping restore some of the state’s forests having a tough time recovering from wildfire.

“Wildfire is changing Colorado,” she explains.

“We’re seeing that large burn scars simply aren’t recovering to forest.

“The only way that they’ll recover is with human intervention. We just have to go out there and plant some trees.”

The biggest fire in Colorado’s history, the Hayman wildfire in 2002, burned more than 130,000 acres. And today, more than 85% of the land

still is struggling to recover.

Schloegel adds that some 150,000 burned acres on the Front Range may not become pine forests again, mainly because there isn’t a local source of seeds.

She says local seeds’ DNA carries critical survival tools – they know when it’s going to snow, and when spring is coming.

Wildfires are a natural part of a forest’s life cycle, but Schloegel points to science showing that human development near forests and climate change have created larger, more frequent and more severe wildfires, which leave virtually no surviving trees that can distribute new seeds.

She adds that wildfires are projected to become even larger as the planet warms, with large sections inside the fire that burn especially hot.

“And so both of those are very hard for land managers to plan for,” she points out.

“We don’t know exactly when or where that will occur.

“But what we can do by collecting seeds and planning for these types of events is

It’s estimated that just 2% of burned areas along Colorado’s Front Range have been replanted.

Nearly a quarter-million seeds were collected last

month along the Front Range, and the U.S. Forest Service currently is harvesting pine cones in the Pike National Forest.

The goal for this year is to collect 1 million seeds.

5 Ways Technology is Transforming Hearing Aids

By Desert Star Staff Around 37.5 million adults in the United States report some trouble hearing, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

However, it is an undertreated condition with the NIH also estimating 28.8 million adults with mild to severe hearing loss could benefit from hearing aids. Thanks to everevolving technology, devices that improve hearing loss are more user-friendly than ever.

apps to discreetly manage device functions, such as checking battery status and adjusting volume to using more advanced finetuning features that control speech focus, noise and wind filters.

Some apps even offer a “find my hearing aid” feature.

3) More natural sound.

The latest microprocessing technology means hearing aids deliver a clearer, fuller and richer sound experience in any listening situation. Now users can hear the textured tones that make everything from a dinner conversation to a quick joke to a theater performance more fulfilling.

Technology is also able to help people manage situational changes, make conversations and ambient noise sound more natural and allow users to choose which sounds to focus on. The hearing aids can even make automatic adjustments to account for sudden loud noises.

5) Tech-enabled customer care. Working with a hearing care professional is essential in treating hearing loss and maximizing the benefits of hearing aids, but it doesn’t mean you have to spend time trekking back and forth to your audiologist’s office. For example, Beltone’s Remote Care program enables users to connect directly with their hearing care professional via the HearMax app. After submitting a request, users can adjust their hearing aids with a simple tap on their phones without an office visit.
